These words began insinuating themselves into my mind around 5AM on Christmas morning, accompanying me towards waking. Unable to control the torrent, I trundled down to the laptop and completed the ideas. I like these occasions best, when it seems writing is 10% creativity and 90% receptivity. When I feel myself a vehicle for friendly but insistent communication.

I started this page about 20 years ago when I needed help getting clean. I learned that many people were experiencing the same symptoms of a person on the brink of detoxification and not knowing what was best for them. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms below, I encourage you to talk to a healthcare professional. It's important to know that the symptoms listed here are not unique to detox. Many people on the verge of detoxification experience these symptoms. The symptoms are caused by a substance that has been stored in the body, and it will eventually release. Most of these symptoms, while not life threatening, are very painful, and it is important to find a doctor who can help you. The symptoms of a person who has been chronically detoxing can include: The person may have a very low level of energy, lack energy in general, have difficulty concentrating, and feel dizzy, nauseous, tired, and nauseous. It is also very difficult to feel normal during the detox, and the person may have headaches, digestive issues, loss of appetite, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, etc. It can also make things like drinking and smoking even more difficult. If you have a health condition, this can cause a lot of problems. | <urn:uuid:a18afe6d-7adf-4b90-aa79-4dfcf4ae295a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sonomachickencoop.com/en/detox | 2020-09-27T20:37:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.981549 | 248 |
Make a special place card for each guest so they know where to sit at your summer gathering, and the cards can also double as a keepsake! Stamp the word "for" from the Cavallini Numbers and Symbols stamp set onto a large grubby tag with black ink. Attach a red ticket to the center of each tag, and write a guest's name on the ticket. Attach a piece of Penny fabric tape to each tag. To make the tag "stand up," use a large red clothespin. Place these decorative place-holding cards around the table accordingly.

Today I’m sharing a card that I made using the Feel Goods and Summer Solstice stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! I had so much fun with the chalkboard technique a couple of weeks ago, I had to do another one. And I’m still working on the final format for my blog posts, if you’re looking for the supply list and card stock cuts, they’re now at the bottom of my posting. Let me know what you think of the new format, I’d love to hear your comments.
I started by stamping the flower and butterfly images from the Summer Solstice stamp set on Basic Black card stock, sprinkling them with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossing them. Then I used a Stamping Sponge to apply Whisper White Craft ink randomly around the images.
I cut a 2-1/2″ circle out of Basic Black card stock and repeated the same process with the sentiment from the Feel Goods stamp set. Then I used my Paper-Piercing tool and made a hole to place the little flower from the Artisan Embellishments Kit through. I trimmed some of the excess stem and taped it to the back of the circle.
I cut a piece of the Primrose Petals Core’dinations Card Stock with the Floral Frames Framelits Die, sanded the edges and adhered it with SNAIL directly to the stamped background panel. I adhered the decorated circle over the die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then punched an Elegant Butterfly from Whisper White card stock and a Bitty Butterfly from Primrose Petals Core’dinations Card Stock. I sanded the Bitty Butterfly edges, added a string of 3 little pearls, adhered it to the Elegant Butterfly with SNAIL, then adhered them both the the card front with a Stampin Dimensional. I also added a few pearls beside the flower.
Then I finished the card by adhering the decorated panel to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also stamped a butterfly in StazOn Jet Black and I colored it with my Primrose Petals Stampin’ Write Marker on the panel inside the card.

The modern workplace is continuously evolving, and technology has a large influence on that evolution. Whatever barriers workplaces used to face, like communication, management or efficiency barriers, have been overcome by the invention of technology. Internet and various software and applications have made it possible for businesses to remain focused on their goals with much less disruption by the day-to-day operations.
In this episode, we explore the role of technology on human resources, and how technology has shifted how we work.

It was towards the very end of my one week trip in Vietnam. I was coming back late at night from Hanoi for one more day in Ho Chi Minh City, when it happened. For a week I had been marveling at the way the car drivers and scooter steerers had created a kind of musical movement on the road. Everyone was constantly swerving and swarming in every which direction, and not once had I seen an accident. Not even a tap with a side mirror. This late night trip home made up for it.
At night, the trucks are allowed to enter Ho Chi Minh. I was noting this coming off the highway because trucks on the road was such an unusual sight. The bridges were usually packed with scooters and taxis. Tonight only trucks and myself.
Coming around a turn, there it was. A dark empty road. A tipped black vespa. A truck parked on the curb with the driver on the phone. And in the middle of the road, one woman. The contents of her person were spilled all over the pavement next to the contents of her purse. The ambulance was a long ways off, if it was coming at all.
Unfortunately the most shocking part of all this might have been the conversation I had the next morning with a friend living in Ho Chi Minh. As I relayed the story, she stopped me. “Did it look like the truck hit her going forward or backward?” I stared blankly. I had already told her the truck was in front of the scooter… Why would a truck REVERSE over someone and then pull back up in front?!
I couldn’t wrap my mind around it, but my friend already knew why.
In Vietnam there is a law stipulating compensation structures for scooter accidents, and I can see why they thought this was a good idea given the large numbers of scooters on the road. The catch is this: if a scooter is hit by a car/truck and there is a death, the car/truck driver is required to pay the family a one-time lump sum. If a scooter is hit by a car/truck and there is only an injury, say a lost limb or brain damage, the car/truck driver is required to pay the family compensation in installments, for life. Any behavioral economists (or just a rational person for that matter) reading this will already know where I am going. …As soon as this law came into effect, there was a spike in fatal accidents. Not because the accidents were getting worse, but because car/truck drivers were making sure they wouldn’t be stuck with lifelong payments. They began hitting the victims again, in forward or reverse, to make sure they were dead.
Turning accidents into murders. That is the power of incentives.
And hence, the questions I couldn’t answer: How many times does a person need to be run over to be in the state I saw? Was the girl I saw accidentally killed or purposefully murdered?
The one thing I do know is, that I will never know.

The West Milford Township School District (WMTSD) has agreed to take expansive corrective action to correct information given in a mandatory training to teachers advising them to teach based on discriminatory gender stereotypes. The action comes in response to a 2018 letter from the ACLU-NJ and the national ACLU Women’s Rights Project concerning the disturbing training, and it follows an investigation by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Division on Civil Rights (DCR).
In its letter dated March 22, 2018, the ACLU-NJ asked WMTSD to immediately cease its involvement with a professional development group that instructed district employees to teach students differently based on gender-based stereotypes. The ACLU-NJ sent DCR a copy of the same letter, which prompted its own investigation and led to the signing of an assurance of voluntary compliance, in which the WMTSD has defined periods of time to provide anti-discrimination and implicit bias trainings, among other corrective actions.
“West Milford Township School District has acknowledged that teaching children based on gender stereotypes can lead to differential treatment of students,” said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Jeanne LoCicero, who signed the agreement. “The Division on Civil Rights deserves praise for its thorough effort in responding to the alarming trainings through this agreement, which sends a clear message to every school district in New Jersey: students should be taught based on their individual needs and abilities, not stereotypes.”
According to the stipulations of the agreement, WMTSD has agreed to take corrective action on multiple fronts:
- Requesting all teachers employed in the district return any materials they received during the training
- Hosting a series of anti-discrimination trainings for all district employees within 120 days
- Ensuring every district employee take part in bias training within 120 days
- Agreeing to seek DCR approval regarding the trainers that could be contracted by the district to ensure the program complies with the LAD
- Creating criteria by which all future trainers will be chosen, which will be reviewed by DCR
- Submitting reports twice a year outlining the professional development trainings that have taken place during the previous period, until June of 2021
“Stereotypes have no place in the classroom. All school districts should be looking to evidence-based strategies to support students, not learning styles based on gender. We are happy to see that the West Milford school administrators will be taking these steps and undoing the harms of the earlier training,” said ACLU-NJ Staff Attorney Elyla Huertas. | <urn:uuid:9e5193ad-b679-4fc8-8201-8be7c5b53208> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.aclu-nj.org/news/2019/08/26/school-district-will-act-correct-discriminatory-training-bas | 2020-09-27T20:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.961344 | 518 |
BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:45 A.M.) – Yemen’s Ansarallah Movement issued a statement expressing its readiness to participate in any Iranian response to the U.S. interception of the Iranian airliner over Syrian airspace last week, which resulted in the injury of a number of passengers on the flight from Tehran to Beirut.
In a statement published by the Iranian state-owned Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), the Anasrallah political office slammed the U.S. interception of the Mahar Air flight, stating that “the ongoing persistence of violating Syrian sovereignty is an aggressive approach and barbaric behavior of a criminal regime that transcends all international norms and laws.”
The political office added: “The United States’ interception of the Iranian civilian passenger plane in Syrian airspace with its warplanes is a blatant attack and violated the international agreements in air navigation and a terrorist practice from America and its ally, Israel.”
Official media in Iran had said that at least one American fighter had dangerously approached an Iranian passenger plane in Syrian airspace, and the Iranian mission at the United Nations announced that it would submit a protest letter to the U.N. Security Council after the threat and exposure of an Iranian civilian airliner by an American fighter in Syrian airspace, while the United States acknowledged that one of its fighters approached the Iranian plane, but confirmed that it was “at a safe distance.”
Since the start of the start of the Yemeni Civil War, Iran has become the closest ally to the Ansarallah movement, which is headquartered in the capital city of Sana’a.
The Anasrallah forces (Houthis) have managed to capture a great deal of territory in Yemen, including, at one point, the strategic port-city of Aden, which was later retaken by the government-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces. | <urn:uuid:9e1675ab-73ba-4230-82b5-255cd9a39197> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/yemens-ansarallah-forces-express-readiness-to-participate-in-iranian-response-over-us-interception-of-airliner/ | 2020-09-27T19:48:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.958555 | 383 |
HKUrbanLabs is the newly branded research arm of the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Architecture (FoA). It draws together the research and outreach energies of scholars of architecture, conservation, construction management, housing, landscape, planning, real estate, surveying, transport, urban design, urban economics and urban studies. Its collective endeavour is to better understand, plan, design, produce, govern and manage cities of the 21st century.
Being located at the epicenter of an urbanization experiment unprecedented in history, HKUrbanLabs has a strong emphasis on research into high-density and rapidly growing cities, including rural-urban linkages and settlements in the hinterlands and heartlands of mega-city regions.
HKUrbanLabs is anchored by the researchers in HKU’s Faculty of Architecture, but provides a focus for urban researchers across the University and in international and Mainland China partner universities via the research labs and centres described below. Its home is the ten-floor 1960s Knowles Building perched on the forested hillside of HKU’s 100 year old Pokfulam Campus, where it is supported by various technical facilities, all currently in operation but in the process of moving to newly renovated bespoke homes over the next two years. These include an urban big data iLab (completion expected early 2016); Urban Gallery (completion expected 2017); Architectural Conservation Laboratory (ACLab); Built Environmental Science Lab (completion expected 2017); and Fabrication Lab (completion expected 2017). HKUrbanLabs also has additional facilities in our Shanghai Study Centre.
A highly regarded centre well known across the world for three decades of urban research on Asian cities, CUSUP is currently focusing research on sustainable urban development and high-density environments; urban and regional development in China; urban GIS methodologies; spatial economy and planning; housing policy and social development; and urban policy and governance. Its researchers are spread across FoA departments and Faculty of Science (Geography Department) and it works closely with scholars in the Ronald Coase Centre for Property Rights Research.
Unique in the world, this Centre is linked to the US-based Ronald Coase Institute and conducts urban research through the powerful lens of institutional economic theory, inspired by the heterodox economics of Nobel Laureate, the late Ronald Coase. Current foci in the Centre include institutional real estate market analysis; institutional analysis of land development, conservation and urbanization; low-income housing in China; gated communities and private urban governance; empirical analysis of regulatory urban planning; and linking spatial analysis, economic optimization, institutional analysis and urban design.
The Centre focuses on the study of historical Chinese architecture and urban spaces, addressing the culture, social and geographical relevance of tradition for contemporary design. Facing the challenges of accelerating development of urban and rural landscapes in China, the Centre studies traditional architecture, landscape and urban spaces to develop strategies for sustaining architectural, cultural, ecological and community landscapes. Its work includes design, conservation, history and theory, architectural criticism and curatorial research and practice.
HealthyHDCities brings together researchers from the Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Medicine and conducts research on the underlying links between built environment and public health; built environment epidemiology; big data, urban mobility and healthy transport; building climatology and smart health profiling of indoor environments; landscape urbanism and health; and healthy construction practices. It emphasizes innovative technology and big data, for example being the first in the world to develop the spatial technology for conducting large-scale gene-built-social-environment studies of urban health at a national scale (in collaboration with the UKBiobank); using serious video gaming and smart construction object modeling for health and safety planning and training on construction sites; developing new algorithms for optimizing walking and landscaping in urban design; and lab experiments of landscape-health effects. HealthyHDCities is at the centre of a new healthy cities international consortium that includes HKU, Oxford University, Cambridge University, Lund University, Melbourne University and Queen’s University Belfast.
SustainableHDCities brings together researchers from HKU Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science to create a lab that specializes in multi-scale environmental modeling and built-environmental physics and other science. Multi-scale means building-interiors, single buildings, clusters of buildings, spaces between buildings, up to the entire city envelope, mega-city regions and systems of cities. It has projects that look at built environmental performance at the microbial level, such as transit systems and bank notes as urban pathways for pathogens, and at the urban system scale, for example, modeling pollution performance across the entire Chinese settlement system. SustainableHDCities is part of the network of building, architectural, environmental and urban physics research labs in National University of Singapore, Cardiff University, Tianjing University, Tongji University, University College London, CUHK and Cambridge University.
Rural Urban Lab is dedicated to investigating the processes of rural to urban transformation. The Lab is a platform for both design and research, supporting writing, exhibitions and the design and construction of buildings. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, the Lab collaborates with engineers, landscape architects, academics, charities and local governments. Projects include schools, community centers, hospitals, village houses, bridges, and incremental planning strategies. Building on almost ten years of active engagement in such work, the Lab has developed a unique approach to creating links between social, economic and political processes and the physical transformation of rural towns and villages. Much of its work operates as Rural Urban Framework – an award-winning collaboration between Joshua Bolchover and John Lin.
The HKU Fabrication and Material Technologies Lab is dedicated to the exploration of innovative construction techniques. With state-of-the-art fabrication facilities at the University of Hong Kong and situated within the Pearl River Delta’s global manufacturing region, the Centre is well-positioned to conduct research that spans boundaries between academia and industry. Research ranges from projects that deal with advanced computational techniques to projects that tap into low-tech, regional labor skill sets. A series of industrial partners connected to the Centre expand the potential for knowledge exchange and open pathways for practical applications and large-scale production. Current research foci include re-configurable form-work systems for concrete casting, development of novel structural systems, non-standard modules for building facades and automation of traditional joinery systems.
The Urban Ecologies Design Lab aims to explore socially and environmentally responsible design strategies for the contemporary city. Its mandate is to explore design in parallel with research in social science, arts and humanities and architectural history and theory. By understanding the city as interacting and evolving urban systems comprising communities, economies, environments, and constructions. Designs become hypotheses to test theoretical ideas. They adjust the way urban systems interrelate and create spaces of connections at multiple urban scales. UEDL has a strong interest in the informal high density living conditions of low-income households in East Asia, including China’s so-called villages in the city and Hong Kong’s so-called cage-homes.
iLab is an urban big data hub housed on the 7th floor of the Knowles Building, the University of Hong Kong that supports the entire suite of HKUrbanLabs. It facilitates multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary urban big data collection, storage, analysis, and presentation to inform decision-making in urban development. iLab is a repository for urban big data from Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Urban Remote Sensing (URS), satellite and airborne Remote Sensing (RS), Building Information Modeling (BIM), facilities and asset management and other sources. iLab is a focus for research across the urban disciplines and works closely with other groups in HKUrbanLabs, especially the Centre for Urban Studies and Urban Planning, HealthyHDCities, SustainableHDCites and the Ronald Coase Centre for Property Rights Research, all of which heavily use urban big data. iLab also has its own unique research remit to integrate big data in pursuit of integrated modeling of smart urban development, combining smart community, smart infrastructure, smart construction, smart property and facilities management and Internet of Things (IoTs). iLab’s research into integrated project delivery (IPD), serious video gaming technologies and virtual design and construction (VDC) is underpinned by conventional research in the field of construction management and links with architectural, urban design and urban planning data and modeling to yield new insights about optimizing design and production of the built environment across scales and professional disciplines. iLab contributes to teaching within and across the disciplinary boundaries in urban development by use of its computational technologies, research output and integrated approach to problem solving. iLab runs a specialist 5D-BIM Lab in Shanghai, which occupies the 4th floor of the Faculty’s Shanghai Study Centre. 5D-BIM Lab is a partnership teaching and research investment with leading German technology firm RIB, providing a unique facility to work on projects that integrate digital models of the entire building life-cycle specified in 3D+time+cost (5D). The lab provides an outreach facility for teaching, research and industry engagement in China and beyond, in collaboration with our partner universities.
The mission of the Virtual Reality Lab of Urban Environments & Human Health (UEHH) is to understand how and to what extent urban environments, especially urban green spaces, influence human health and wellbeing. Researchers in the lab are concerned with understanding and measure the influence through multiple approaches including psychological, physiological, and hormonal measures of human health.
The lab uses two types of experimental sites for research: Virtual urban environments and real urban environments. Researchers will use the immersive virtual environments as surrogates of real urban environments. In a controlled lab setting, researchers will expose participants to a variety of stimuli while record participants’ responses through a variety of physiological devices or psychological instruments. Researchers then can gauge and compare impacts of different environment features or conditions. Researchers will also conduct experimental research in the real urban environments by using mobile devices or instruments. The research will contribute to the body of knowledge on how to create appropriate urban environments to promote human health and wellbeing.
The Architecture, Urbanism, and the Humanities Initiative (AUHI) comprises a group of designers, theorists, and historians at the University of Hong Kong. Collectively, we work to understand how buildings and cities shape our relationship to each other and to the world at large.
Our research methods are qualitative in nature. We acknowledge and embrace the difficulties in measuring the affects, ambiguities, ethics, and impulses that often comprise architectural and urban space. Our scholarship incorporates a range of interdisciplinary approaches, including visual forms of argumentation native to the design professions as well as archival and ethnographic modes of inquiry. We also situate our research in conversation with emerging scholarship on buildings and cities in fields ranging from anthropology to history to science and technology. Our research materials comprise images, objects, and texts. Collectively, we consider architecture and the city as temporal as well as spatial entities, which makes our work both projective as well as retrospective in nature.
The ACLab is a purpose-built conservation laboratory to serve as a teaching, research and professional service unit within the Division of Architectural Conservation Programmes. In the process of architectural conservation, it is not only important to understand the artistic and historical aspects and the social and cultural context of a building or site, but also it is crucial to acquire in-depth knowledge of their materials and properties and degradation processes in order to find an appropriate conservation approach. The ACLab supports material conservation teaching and learning and advocates international best practice for the conservation of cultural heritage. The laboratory combines scientific research with practical conservation procedures in accordance with the highest standards of best practice.
In architectural conservation, the ACLab provides professional services to consult heritage conservation projects, with research and analysis of materials and recommendations for interventions. The ACLab also engages in research in the broader field of conservation science, such as investigation and analysis of cultural heritage materials and historical craftsmanship. The laboratory is equipped with analytical instruments such as an x-ray diffraction analyzer, thermography camera, Fourier Transform infrared spectrograph, portable Raman and stereo- and polarized Light microscopes.
The laboratory collaborates with the HKU Departments of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science and other overseas conservation laboratories and research institutions to expand its range of conservation based analytical services and professional scientific expertise.
Building upon the research team’s two decades of studies on urban (re)development, urban poverty, low-income housing, complex self-organising urban systems, spontaneous social order, and gated communities; and supported by ongoing GRF and NSFC research projects, the SIEW lab brings together multi-disciplinary researchers from Europe, US, Australia, Japan, Mainland China and Hong Kong. Their shared interest is in probing the long lasting and deep seated problems of growth and inequality in three major types of urban social infrastructure, namely housing, healthcare, and education, with an ultimate interest in improving opportunity, equity and wellbeing among urban citizens. Synthesising theories and methodologies from multiple disciplines, the SIEW lab draws on critical urban theories, as well as behavioural economics, political, sociological, psychological and spatial theories about welfare, health, education and housing systems and regimes. SIEW’s specific foci include 1) formal and informal affordable housing development in developing economies; 2) multi-dimensional housing inequalities under financialisation in pandemic-stricken megacities; 3) uneven distribution of high-quality healthcare resources and resultant patient mobility and physician mobility; and 4) emerging forms of neighbourhood order, including for example, gated communities featuring privileged access to education service and exclusive residential environments and the systemic implications for equity in education, housing and urban resilience. | <urn:uuid:002ee4ef-4374-4a1a-ba41-14e228b44c03> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.arch.hku.hk/about/hkurbanlab-intro/ | 2020-09-27T19:48:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.909316 | 2,821 |

Listen to this Article
In March of 2018, Stephon Clark, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Sacramento, California by two Sacramento Police Department officers. Though he was unarmed, officers Terrance Mercadal and Jared Robinet fired twenty rounds at Clark, hitting him seven times—three of which were in the back. The officers claimed he had a gun at the time, but found only a cell phone on his person when they approached his body. After the fact, police statements held that Clark variously had a gun, a crowbar, and a toolbar.
The murder sparked outrage, leading to a series of protests. Black Lives Matter led a march not five days after that caused a shut down on Interstate 5, and various rallies were held in protest of Clark’s death and the growing number of Black unarmed men shot by police. Even NBA players on the Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics got involved, wearing shirts with Clark’s name and the word “Accountability” printed on them.
A year later, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert announced that she would not bring charges against the officers. This, unsurprisingly, led to more protests. One such protest resulted in the arrests of eighty people, including a Sacramento Bee reporter who had been live-streaming the demonstration.
Just days after that, Attorney General Xavier Becerra followed suit by announcing that his office would similarly refrain from criminally prosecuting the officers involved in the shooting. Becerra stated that after reviewing the video evidence of the event, he and his team had concluded that the officers “reasonably believed” that they were in danger. (“Reasonable belief” is the legal standard applied in these cases.)
Now, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the F.B.I., in conjunction with the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, will launch an investigation into whether or not Clark’s federal civil rights were violated.
But what does this development say about the state of our country in regards to police misconduct?
It demonstrates the disparity in the way in which people of color are treated by the police, as opposed to their white counterparts. This has become a (nearly) non-controversial fact in recent years and has been brought sharply into focus by growing media attention to the numerous murders of unarmed Black unarmed men by the police. The proliferation of video recording-capable devices has given citizens the ability to more ably document events, and the institution of policies mandating body-cameras for police officers should, in theory, lead to increased transparency and, consequently, accountability.
This has unfortunately not been the case. Extensive footage of Stephon’s Clark murder was made available to the District Attorney and Attorney General’s office, and it seemed to clearly show that Clark was not approaching the officers in any kind of threatening manner, contrary to the police department’s account. However, the outcome was the same as it has been in the majority of recent cases.
This undoubtedly sends a message: police officers are above the law that they are employed to uphold. They are allowed to function and use force with impunity, and it is people of color who pay the price.
Justice was not done for Stephon Clark—nor was it done for so many individuals before him: Eric Garner, Oscar Grant, Amadou Diallo, and countless others. Injustices like this continue to repeat themselves year after year, and the American people should be baffled: what will it take to break this cycle?
It seems, then, that the only thing we can take from the shooting of Stephon Clark and the subsequent miscarriage of justice is that we have simply not taken anything from the shootings and injustices of the past.

An orthopedic surgeon who suspects that you have a blockage in the blood vessels of your legs or arms may prescribe an ultrasound test. An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that echo off the body. This creates a picture of the blood vessels. The Doppler audio system transmits the "swishing" sound of the blood flow. This is a noninvasive test that has no side effects.
A clear jelly is applied to the skin over the blood vessels being tested. The technician uses a sensor that looks like a microphone. The sensor is placed against the skin and moved up and down across the area being tested. The technician will apply pressure every few inches to see if the blood vessels change their shape. The test takes about 30 minutes, and most people experience no pain or discomfort. | <urn:uuid:4f4875af-3812-4d2d-b240-709bfad4ea97> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.coastalorthoca.com/glossary-doppler-ultrasound | 2020-09-27T18:49:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.927847 | 162 |
The 12 GOLDEN GOALS to Go from Drifting in Life to SAILING
It’s easy to drift through life if we're not careful. Most people are drifting through life and don't even know it. How do I know? Because I was one of those people, and like they say "it takes one to know one." It took me a long time to figure this out, but I learned that if I want to have an amazing life then there are certain goals I MUST have. I call these my GOLDEN GOALS.
In our school education we talk about the importance of goals and goal setting, but usually, if not always, in the context of academic achievement and professional goals. Those goals are fine enough in their respective arenas, but they miss the mark when it comes to living a HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS, and MEANINGFUL life.
If we don't have a definite life destination in mind that we are trying to reach (and by “definite life destination” I mean our personal versions of a most amazing life) then we are like driftwood floating without direction on the ocean’s surface, being tossed and blown in every which way by the fickle winds.
Think about it, WHERE are you going if you don't know where you’re going?
If, on the other hand, we know the coordinates of the island we are trying to get to (call this destination most amazing life) and we know from where we are starting, we become like a sail boat with a map and compass (rather than the driftwood). No longer are we at the mercy of the relentless and ever-changing winds, aimlessly adrift at sea getting tossed and blown every which way. Now we can set our sail and use the winds to our aid and to our advantage. I've found that the best destination is the one we envision for ourselves where we are happy and have come truly alive.
Goals are like destinations, and below are the GOLDEN GOALS I’ll be focusing on in 2016 as part of my personal growth plan and happiness map.
Just in case you'd like to join me, I want to make sure you have the opportunity to get these in your hands and on your mind before 2016 gets here so you can start the year with your game plan instead of starting the year creating your game plan. If you truly want to win and have your best year yet, preparation is the key, and planning is a major part of preparing!
The game is won before the game, not during the game.
If 2016 is a game, then let’s play to win, and not just play around. To win, let’s prepare as much as possible so we can start the game as ready as possible!
If you have questions or need help in any of these areas, let me know in the comment section below. We’re in this together!
(I have your back!)

Much more laid back day. This would be my last full day in Liverpool. I had a couple of meetings, and things all went well. The local admin asst took us to some Beatles shops, just outside of the bars that they had started in. I got some magnets, and clay pins. I am looking to convert the pins to magnets, as I think they would be better that was, almost $30 US for the lot, but the cashier threw in a extra set just cause the owner was ignoring us and raised the price because we were American. We had lunch at this great little Italian restaurant near there. I had a calzone (which I found out is pronounced kal-zone-eh) I found this out when I said kal-zone and the waiter starred at me like I was a foreigner or something (o wait I am). For the evening trip out, we had not made any real plans, except I was on a mission to get weird candy and Mars bars. Andy volunteered to take us sightseeing, and we went on a whirlwind tour of the town. If you see the pics you will notice most of them were from inside the car at high speed. On the way back we stopped to see the Eleanor Rigby statue, Andy told us that there was a great Italian restaurant nearby and we could go there and eat. So we went to the statue, and took some pics, we then went across the street to the Italian restaurant, the same one that we had lunch at. No big deal, I ordered something else, a tortellini with chicken and a cream and mozzarella sauce. Mmmm good. We didn’t have time to get the Mars bars because I had a conf call at 10pm. SO Andy was nice enough to get them for me and drop them off. Thanks Andy. Went back and had my call and went to bed. | <urn:uuid:33d3feee-f7b3-4a58-9a2d-895754320b4b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.daveonline.com/2003/06/day-four.html | 2020-09-27T19:07:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.991456 | 386 |

ESA Member Comments - Gene drive research
During their January conference call, the ESA Science Policy committee agreed to begin work on drafting a position statement on the importance of continued work on gene drive technologies in the field of entomology. This is in response to campaigns calling for a moratorium on gene drive research and gene drive field releases at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in 2016 and 2018.
ESA members who have informed thoughts, research, and opinions on the subject matter were encouraged to submit comments to help inform the position statement. The deadline for submitting comments was extended through March 1, 2019, but is now closed. Since this document will be a position statement made on behalf of the Society, in order to be accepted, all comments on this topic must be received from ESA members. | <urn:uuid:523c3249-5a8d-46d4-bc18-410a639c1966> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.entsoc.org/resources/position_papers/member-comments-GMO | 2020-09-27T21:05:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.962036 | 156 |

- Devil May Cry 5
Devil May Cry 5 almost didn’t see the light of day. A sequel to DmC, the Ninja Theory game based on the iconic Capcom franchise, was supposed to be the next installment in the series. That’s according to series director Hideaki Itsuno, who explained that Devil May Cry 5 was only given the greenlight after plans for DmC 2 fell apart.
“I really wanted to make a DmC: Devil May Cry 2, after the first one,” he told VG247. “I was really pumped up to do it, and then that didn’t happen. So… when it came time to make a new game, we said, alright, let’s make Devil May Cry 5. We had these people that didn’t work on DmC and people that did. Because we had these two sides mixing, it was like alright, we’re going to make Devil May Cry 5 – it’s not going to be a sequel to DmC, but we definitely want to do what we can to take what we learned from that game too.”
Itsuno also commented on why the development team at Capcom wanted to eclipse the work that the collaborating teams had conducted on DmC. He stated that the Ninja Theory team, who had worked on DmC back in 2013, would have missed out if Capcom had produced DmC 2 single handedly.
“One thing, if you think about it… it probably wouldn’t make sense to have these guys make a DmC 2,” he said. “That’s something that Ninja Theory should collaborate with Capcom on, y’know? It would be different – it would lose something if we tried to do that only in Osaka. So it really made sense that we’d go to a sequel to DMC4. It’s something that the people in Osaka have more of a frame of reference for.”
Devil May Cry 5 will be released on March 8, 2019, on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. | <urn:uuid:f30c796d-a3db-4526-8d63-52df7bc70cc6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/436617-devil-may-cry-series-director-dmc2-devil-may-cry-5 | 2020-09-27T20:29:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.980521 | 453 |

Since January 1, 2015, the Company has repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares, totaling $52.3 million, which includes the repurchase of 620,000 shares, totaling $12.9 million, since October 1, 2015. The Company has $37.8 million remaining under the 2014 repurchase program, and has $137.8 million remaining with the additional authorization announced today.
Gayla Delly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Benchmark, commented, "Over the past five years, Benchmark has returned more than $250 million to our shareholders through repurchases. This represents more than 70% of our free cash flow, and is consistent with our goal of returning 50% of free cash flow to our shareholders. We will continue to execute a balanced approach to capital allocation – investing in organic market expansion and operational excellence, strategic growth opportunities, and returning capital to our investors through share repurchases. We have sufficient financial flexibility to execute on a disciplined capital allocation plan, and remain focused on deploying capital for the highest long-term returns."
Share repurchases under both programs may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, at the discretion of the Company's management, and subject to market conditions. The timing and amount of specific repurchases are subject to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. The Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases under the program. A Rule 10b5-1 plan would generally permit the Company to repurchase the shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under the securities laws. Purchases will be funded from available cash and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program will be retired.

Berg begins his lecture with a brief history of observations of bacterial motion. He then uses physics to describe the many hurdles that E. coli must overcome as it tries to swim up or down a chemical gradient. For instance, an entity as tiny as E. coli is constantly buffeted by Brownian motion and can neither stay still nor swim in a straight line. Then there is the question of how E. coli senses a gradient and translates that information into a change in its direction of movement. And finally, how does E. coli use its flagella to generate thrust at all?
In Part 2, Berg explains that E. coli travels using a series of runs, when it moves in a straight line, and tumbles, when it changes direction. During a run, all of the flagella are moving counterclockwise in a tight bundle. During a tumble, one or more flagella switch to a clockwise movement and disengage from the bundle causing a change in the swimming direction. The motor that drives the rotation of the flagella is an amazing structure made of about 20 different protein parts. Berg tells us that chemosensory receptors on the cell surface detect a chemical gradient and transfer this information, via protein phosphorylation, to the motor. This chemical modification determines the direction of motor rotation and, hence, the direction the E. coli swims. An amazing system that E. coli has been perfecting for millions of years!

Cash-strapped Zim ignores court order, blocks massive conservancy development
Johannesburg - Zimbabweans may have "grabbed" the land from the descendants of colonisers and those whose ancestors "stole" the land from indigenous blacks, but the consequences have been dire - food security has vanished along with any joy experienced after Robert Mugabe's ouster.
The new government - led by 76-year-old Emmerson Mnangagwa, the man now in charge of Mugabe's Zanu PF party - exhibits the same failed traits of using brute force to solve economic problems.
Many factories and businesses have closed even when commanded to remain open. Money and the lack of it continues to bedevil that country's government. Rising prices and three tier payments - US dollar, bond and RTGS - have not only confused the market but have also eroded profits.
Since Mugabe's ouster in a bloodless coup in November 2017, poverty and joblessness have increased. The economy has all but collapsed. The beleaguered government's hopes are now pinned solely on the return of the Zimbabwe dollar.
The local currency, which was abandoned by authorities just over a decade ago, in 2008, after inflation reached an estimated 500 billion percent, made its return on Monday.
For four decades, the Zimbabwe government has acted with impunity regarding individual and property rights - they have even been so emboldened as to ignore court orders that they do not like. Accusations are that those in power only act when court rulings favour them.
It therefore comes as no surprise that in Zimbabwe, an initiative to set up a massive wildlife conservancy and historical tourism venture that would benefit the local community, as well as contributing to the revival of tourism and the economy by attracting international tourists, is on hold.
The combined farm and safari operation, which is integral to the project and would generate vital foreign currency, continues to be illegally occupied by members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) who took it over by force in July 2007.
Their ongoing occupation is in flagrant disregard of a confirmed court order of September 2007 compelling them to vacate the farm and return it to its lawful owner, Dave Joubert, a high profile Matabeleland farmer of approximately 50 years, and owner of Portwe Estate since 1982.
The failure of the government to remove the police from Joubert’s Portwe Estate and Bembesi conservancy demonstrates that Zimbabwe is not “open for business”, as President Mnangagwa claims.
This visionary project involves Paramount Chief Nhlanhla Felix Ndiweni, whose father, the late Paramount Chief Khayisa Ndiweni, endorsed the initiative, together with the then governor, Welshman Mahbene.
Chief Felix Ndiweni has risen rapidly to prominence in Zimbabwe since returning from the UK to take up the hereditary chieftainship.
He was sent to London in 1981 to study for a degree in engineering technology and mechanical engineering, and lived there for more than 20 years.
Ndiweni also has degrees in management studies, specialising in local governance, and law.
The paramount chief is committed to bringing independence and an end to poverty to his people through individual property rights.
If the police and the Mnangagwa government continue to defy the law and the Zimbabwe constitution, there will be implications regarding the government’s re-engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the European Union.
With the economy in the grips of a meltdown, kilometre-long fuel queues, devastating power cuts and rapidly rising inflation, President Mnangagwa has said that restoring ties with the West and multilateral lenders, including the IMF, is one of his priorities.
As for the country itself, everything is going south and fast. South Africa's Eskom has recently stopped supplying electricity to Zimbabwe which has run up a massive debt. Zimbabwe also owes Mozambique a substantial amount of money for electricity.
Unconfirmed reports said rolling blackouts that last up to a week have forced Zimbabwe to make a payment to Eskom. Zimbabwe's Energy Minister Fortune Chasi this week said Zimbabwe had paid US $10 million to Eskom.
Many urban areas are without tap water, and where it is available its cleanliness cannot be guaranteed. Hospitals long ran out of drugs and civil servants, including teachers, are threatening strike action.
The solutio, Mugabe's successor says, lies in bring back the Zimbabwe dollar.
On Monday, Mnangagwa, who won a disputed election last year, outlawed the use of a multi-currency payment system, ostensibly to tackle the ever-rising black market exchange rate.
“The British pound, US dollar, South African Rand, Botswana pula and any other foreign currency whatsoever shall no longer be legal tender alongside the Zimbabwe dollar in any transaction in Zimbabwe,” said a notice in the government gazette.
The opposition MDC led by 41-year-old Nelson Chamisa have long warned of an economic meltdown.
Commenting on the re-introduction of the Zimbabwe dollar, Chamisa likened the development to “guerrilla economics and ambush currency" measures which he said were "ill-advised, destructive and confidence-draining".
Chamisa said any successful re-introduction of the local currency required that macroeconomic fundamentals, public confidence, trust, fiscal discipline, political stability and legitimacy be in place first.
Ken Yamamoto, the renowned Japanese researcher and commentator on Zimbabwe, has proferred a solution saying: "It is not rocket science to solve Zimbabwe’s problems. It requires honest, selfless and sincere leaders to build a culture of honesty and inspire everyone to work for the country."

He tells you when things need to be replaced and when they can be stretched out, he really cares about his customers and his workers. His prices are more than fair and when I had my AC fixed and it stopped working I brought it in and he fixed within 24 hours. He stands behind his work and is a man of integrity anyone who comes here will be pleased with the work you get done!
I've been going to this shop since it opened. I would not go anywhere ... read more I've been going to this shop since it opened. I would not go anywhere else for transmission issues. Bill is a very honest businessman who knows the value of repeat customers. His prices are excellent and he stands behind his work. | <urn:uuid:686caca2-f74e-4645-babf-e7348099a1bb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mechanicadvisor.com/nj/bordentown/transfer-case-repair | 2020-09-27T19:36:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.991822 | 348 |
Governor Bob Holden is dismissing the Republican plan to deal with the current fiscal year’s budget shortfall as insufficient. Holden says the GOP proposal falls short of what is needed to prevent cuts to education. He insists he will be forced to cut more than $160-Million from public schools and higher education if no compromise is reached by the end of the week. Both Holden and the Republicans agree to sell bonds to come up with cash from the state’s future share of national tobacco settlement money. Holden wants to use approximately $262-Million for the current budget year. Republicans want to limit this year’s use of bond money to $100-Million.

Vernissage: Lentze Stopper and mm sports show recent works by the artist Philipp Karl Moritz
With a well-attended vernissage entitled “like the honeybee, you took the best of me”, last Friday a new art exhibition started in the offices of the law firm Lentze Stopper and mm sports.
Philipp Karl Moritz presents his works in the coming weeks in the offices of the two companies at Widenmayerstrasse 28 in Munich. Born in 1977 in Munich, the artist studied at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and abroad. He lives and works in Berlin. In his sometimes very reduced compositions and collages, a continuous silent struggle between the abstract and representational world is revealed. What makes Philip Karl Moritz’s work peculiar and anchored in our fast-paced world of consumption is the shiny, leathery materiality of his paintings, the surface which he compresses for days at a time by rubbing the last of the still moist oil layers. Treated in such a way the surface creates a shimmering, almost rusting layer that literally captivates the viewer.
Philipp Karl Moritz – painting and collages. Exhibition until the 25th Jan. 2019 – Widenmayerstrasse 28 in Munich. Art lovers are welcome to view the works, please contact us in advance at [email protected].

Going Grape: Wine for when you have to wait
Tom Petty sang that 'the waiting is the hardest part' and he is so right.
It is. And I'm not talking about waiting for a red light to turn green, or waiting for a three-toed sloth to back out of a parking space. I'm talking about the kind of waiting that's heavy. Like the waiting my friend is doing right now to find out results of her dad's stress test. Or the kind of waiting I'm doing right now for a specialist to call me since they've found a thing in my abdomen that needs to go.
There is laundry to be done, there are columns to be written, dinner needs to be made; but the only thought is 'when are they going to call?' So, one must fill the time. I choose to fill mine with wine. If this is also how you roll, here are some suggestions.
When waiting on medical results or a specialist's call, it's best to be clearheaded so I'd suggest a low-alcohol wine and moderation to pair with the sound of seconds ticking away. It's hard to muster up an appetite, so prepare food you cannot resist and usually reserve for special occasions. In a few years when I look back at this little hiccup in my health timeline, I'd rather remember the fabulous meal and wine pairing I came up with while waiting. Not a bleak tableau of ice water and a grumbling stomach. Besides, no fighter goes into the ring starving.
So, here's the lineup for tonight: king crab legs with melted butter, basmati rice topped with shavings of truffled pecorino cheese, and salted sweet corn (my daughter's favorite). Usually I go with unoaked chardonnay for my crab, but today I want to fly in the face of stress and worry by celebrating with something sparkly.
My wine pairing is Luc Belaire rare rosé ($33-36), a big flavored effervescent pink wine from Provence. Not too high in alcohol at 12 percent, the bubbles and acidity cut through the richness and butter and bring in bigger-than-average fruit flavors. It's a dark rosé made with syrah, Grenache, and cinsault with a teenie bit of sweetness that plays well with the sugar in the corn.
It's a no-holds-barred kind of time so wine will be had with lunch tomorrow, too. I have a great little wine from the Apremont, Savoie region of France which I will chill. It's a 2014 100 percent Jacquère from producers Bernard and Christophe Richel ($18-$22). At 11 percent alcohol, it's a perfect midday sipper and the lightly floral dryness will be a perfect match for an open-faced croque madame. Eggs, cheese, béchamel, and ham on toasty bread will need the zip of acidity from a wine usually paired with fondue. I just love the Savoie region and all the wines from there, so this is an easy call for me.
For my friend, the waiting for dad's stress test results is happening at the hospital where the strongest beverage is coffee from the abomination that is the Bunn machine. After having her taste buds assaulted by that all day, the only thing she'll want is a high-powered, high-alcohol red and who can blame her? I'll meet her at her house with a Barossa shiraz from Two Hands called Gnarly Dudes ($18-$22). It's 14.2 percent alcohol (but remember there is accounting for a 1% margin of error in both directions) and the flavor is giant which is just her style. Flavor has to be huge when the wine is high in alcohol to try and balance things out and this one delivers on both sides of that scale with dark berries, black pepper and gritty tannins. We'll need to grill a T-bone to pair with our shiraz. And mashed potatoes, of course.
Waiting is as wringing as a diagnoses can sometimes be. We all imagine the worst possible results and try to sell ourselves on the positive while dread gnaws away at our resolve. For me, my old friend wine provides a worthwhile distraction: selecting the perfect pairing for indulgent meals, having a glass or two in conversation with friends and family, eyeing the cellphone suspiciously every ten seconds (did I put that on mute?). There's no getting away from the anxiety of waiting, but there are things worth enjoying while whittling away the time.

Using the experiences of Paddington we are starting to understand the challenges, difficulties and dangers that refugee children face when fleeing conflict. As a year group we decided to take action to help the refuge children and raise money to help them start their new life in a new country. The boys and girls held a bun sale and raised an amazing £401.05 for Unicef. Well done Year 1!

EXHIBITION: Smart Mobility - Taking us into the Future
05 Sep 2020
House of Sweden is open again to the general public on weekends between 12 pm - 5 pm. Welcome back!
With roughly 980 miles between the mountainous north and the sandy beaches of the south, Sweden - roughly the size of California but with the population of North Carolina - is highly dependent on smart solutions that enable people to move around.
Smart Mobility - Taking us into the future is a display of mobility in a Swedish context with a global impact. When it comes to mobility, Sweden is an innovative powerhouse with a history of game-changing inventions under its belt. And history is still being written. Learn about historic changemakers, such as Aina Wifalk’s modern walker for people with disabilities and Volvo’s three-point safety belt, and failed experiments. Discover how Swedes carry their babies, protect their heads when biking, automate mining exploration, and move freely in nature even when they live with physical disabilities.
Today’s solutions for moving goods and people place too much of a burden on the environment, involve unnecessary health risks, and are often not accessible to everyone. The concept of mobility is central to our lifestyles. We travel, shop and interact with people in altogether new ways, making it even more important to ensure that the future of mobility is sustainable and inclusive.
From electrified roads to automation, the technologies to make change happen are already well underway. What is needed is regulation ensuring that the future of mobility is sustainable, safe, efficient and available to everyone. By encouraging innovation, regulation and investment to work together towards the same goal, Sweden has become one of the frontrunners of new mobility solutions.
Today, transportation accounts for about one third of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions, a stumbling block on Sweden’s road to becoming a zero net greenhouse gas emitter. Investing in renewable energy and fossil-free transportation calls for a shift in technology, new ways of doing business, a new regulatory framework, and above all — a total change in people’s mindset of what constitutes mobility.
Produced by The Swedish Institute.

The main cause of death among cystic-fibrosis patients, and a threat to many burn victims and AIDS patients as well, is the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. But the microbe is not a health problem until enough of the bacteria join together to form a gooey amalgamation called a “biofilm.” Almost 80 percent of bacterial infections are in biofilm form. Helen Blackwell, an assistant professor of chemistry, studies quorum sensing – the communications mechanism that tells bacteria that they have replicated enough to form a biofilm. Its easy, according to Blackwell, to synthesize the organic molecules that bacteria use to talk to each other.
Blackwell is testing a series of such messenger molecules to see if she can hijack the bacterias communications network. So far, of the hundreds of molecules she has screened, 10 seem promising. The right molecule might fight a hard-to-treat infection or induce a small, early infection to stimulate the bodys immune response. Blackwells group developed a way to speed up the reaction that produces the messenger molecules by heating it with microwaves. “We reduce a reaction sequence from about three days to about 45 minutes,” she says. | <urn:uuid:ee8ebc96-f6da-4256-baa4-d464ef08348b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.technologyreview.com/innovator/helen-blackwell/ | 2020-09-27T21:27:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.932157 | 251 |

FORT BRAGG, NORTH CAROLINA - A military court has agreed to hear an appeal by a U.S. Army soldier who left his post in Afghanistan and was held prisoner by the Taliban for five years.
The Fayetteville Observer reported Thursday that the court will examine whether statements by President Donald Trump and the late U.S. Sen. John McCain unfairly influenced Bowe Bergdahl's trial.
Bergdahl's lawyers argue that McCain threatened to conduct a hearing at the Senate Armed Services Committee if Bergdahl went unpunished. The lawyers also cite multiple instances of Trump making disparaging comments about Bergdahl.
People in the military's chain of command are forbidden from saying anything that could interfere with a military court case.
Bergdahl pleaded guilty in 2017 to desertion. He was spared prison time but was dishonorably discharged as a private. | <urn:uuid:d7418f7d-a960-4100-b573-2762ab194763> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.voanews.com/usa/court-hear-bowe-bergdahls-appeal-over-trumps-comments | 2020-09-27T21:21:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.971247 | 183 |
Re: City Hall
September 12, 2019
Upon reading Mr. Davison’s letter to the editor in the Sept 5th edition, I wanted to add another perspective. While Mr. Davison makes some valid points I will say upfront that I have a difference in opinion. I would prefer to see the City Hall remain at its current location and make only the renovations required to make it a safe and functional facility. We don’t need to do a total renovation/restoration in the short term, we can budget for and do further renovations over time, something along the lines of a 10 year plan.

What Is Gestational Surrogacy?
In this type of surrogacy, the sperms from the intended father or the sperm donor are taken and the eggs are taken from the intended mother.
The embryo that is formed is inseminated in the uterus of the surrogate and the surrogate mother carries the baby through the pregnancy and delivers the baby. The second scenario is sperm from intended father and eggs from the donor who is different individual than surrogate mother and embryo transferred into surrogate mother and she carries a pregnancy. In either of scenario, When surrogate mother is not biologically related to resulting child, it is called gestational surrogacy.
Who Are The Parents Of The Child Born From Gestational Surrogacy?
The eggs that are used belong to the intended mother hence the intended mother is the biological mother of the child. The surrogate is only the birth mom. The sperms can either be taken from the intended father or a sperm donor. Whoever contributes in the sperms, is the biological father of the child.
Gestational Surrogacy is ruled by legal aspects. Whoever the father of the child be and whoever the surrogate be, the intended parents remain the legal parents of the child and have full rights to raise the child.

Who Can Be The Gestational Surrogate Mother?
A surrogate mother in the gestational surrogacy method will be carrying the child from the conception phase to the delivery phase hence the intended surrogate should be healthy and fit to avoid miscarriages.
The intended mother’s eggs should also be healthy and free of chromosomal defects in order to make sure that the child is healthy.
Couples who are seeking for gestational surrogacy process, often take the help of agencies who appoint surrogate mothers.
Surrogate has to be checked for her physical capacity to carry the child. The surrogate should be a healthy woman free from any genetic diseases or existing or having a history of terminal illness.
When a couple takes surrogacy help from an agency, the surrogacy agency do pre surrogacy work up before appointing a surrogate. Which couples should go for gestational surrogacy?
- Couples, where the woman has good quality eggs but has the weak uterus to carry the baby throughout the pregnancy period.
- Couples where the woman is in menopause or over 45 years of age.
- History of recurrent miscarriage.
- Couples of same gender.

L Sound Worksheet For Kindergarten. The worksheet is an assortment of 4 intriguing pursuits that will enhance your kid's knowledge and abilities. The worksheets are offered in developmentally appropriate versions for kids of different ages. Adding and subtracting integers worksheets in many ranges including a number of choices for parentheses use.
You can begin with the uppercase cursives and after that move forward with the lowercase cursives. Handwriting for kids will also be rather simple to develop in such a fashion. If you're an adult and wish to increase your handwriting, it can be accomplished. As a result, in the event that you really wish to enhance handwriting of your kid, hurry to explore the advantages of an intelligent learning tool now!
Consider how you wish to compose your private faith statement. Sometimes letters have to be adjusted to fit in a particular space. When a letter does not have any verticals like a capital A or V, the very first diagonal stroke is regarded as the stem. The connected and slanted letters will be quite simple to form once the many shapes re learnt well. Even something as easy as guessing the beginning letter of long words can assist your child improve his phonics abilities. L Sound Worksheet For Kindergarten.
There isn't anything like a superb story, and nothing like being the person who started a renowned urban legend. Deciding upon the ideal approach route Cursive writing is basically joined-up handwriting. Practice reading by yourself as often as possible.
Research urban legends to obtain a concept of what's out there prior to making a new one. You are still not sure the radicals have the proper idea. Naturally, you won't use the majority of your ideas. If you've got an idea for a tool please inform us. That means you can begin right where you are no matter how little you might feel you've got to give. You are also quite suspicious of any revolutionary shift. In earlier times you've stated that the move of independence may be too early.
Each lesson in handwriting should start on a fresh new page, so the little one becomes enough room to practice. Every handwriting lesson should begin with the alphabets. Handwriting learning is just one of the most important learning needs of a kid. Learning how to read isn't just challenging, but fun too.
The use of grids The use of grids is vital in earning your child learn to Improve handwriting. Also, bear in mind that maybe your very first try at brainstorming may not bring anything relevant, but don't stop trying. Once you are able to work, you might be surprised how much you get done. Take into consideration how you feel about yourself. Getting able to modify the tracking helps fit more letters in a little space or spread out letters if they're too tight. Perhaps you must enlist the aid of another man to encourage or help you keep focused.
L Sound Worksheet For Kindergarten. Try to remember, you always have to care for your child with amazing care, compassion and affection to be able to help him learn. You may also ask your kid's teacher for extra worksheets. Your son or daughter is not going to just learn a different sort of font but in addition learn how to write elegantly because cursive writing is quite beautiful to check out. As a result, if a kid is already suffering from ADHD his handwriting will definitely be affected. Accordingly, to be able to accomplish this, if children are taught to form different shapes in a suitable fashion, it is going to enable them to compose the letters in a really smooth and easy method. Although it can be cute every time a youngster says he runned on the playground, students want to understand how to use past tense so as to speak and write correctly. Let say, you would like to boost your son's or daughter's handwriting, it is but obvious that you want to give your son or daughter plenty of practice, as they say, practice makes perfect.
Without phonics skills, it's almost impossible, especially for kids, to learn how to read new words. Techniques to Handle Attention Issues It is extremely essential that should you discover your kid is inattentive to his learning especially when it has to do with reading and writing issues you must begin working on various ways and to improve it. Use a student's name in every sentence so there's a single sentence for each kid. Because he or she learns at his own rate, there is some variability in the age when a child is ready to learn to read. Teaching your kid to form the alphabets is quite a complicated practice.

Here are things you should have before mapping/remapping a car.
you need to have a reasonable understanding of maths, and how to use a scientific calculator as you get more involved. By the end of this guide you will know what 14x(1-2.373 to the power of 0.263)/ A squared x (B + 460) means, now don’t worry I will break this down into each part of the equation later on and it is not as complicated as you may think, that said it would help if you knew why there are parts of the equation inside ( )and what “to the power of” means
- car condition & components
To design a map you need to understand what condition a car is in, who is driving it and for what purpose and what its mechanical problems are. A 20,000 mile car will be able to be mapped further than a 80,000 mile car, assuming they have had identical daily use, as the internal condition of the engine will be better. A car with auto transmission will want a different map from a manual one. A family man will want a different map to tow his caravan than a sales Rep in an identical car. Does this car have known gearbox issues? Increasing the torque low down will cause potential failure sooner. There are many more things to consider, these will be covered in “designing your map”
What components make up the car, not just things like how many cylinders and its total cc but you need to know is it mechanical injection, common rail, variable fuel pressure, direct injection, does it have mechanical or electrical turbo bypass, does it have EGR or DPF even down to air-conditioning, are the sensors on it voltage variable or pulse variable?
- maps inside ECUs
What maps are actually inside the ECU, there can be 6 or many hundreds, you need to know
what map is actually the “limiting map” for example when there are 6 maps in a basic system one of those maps will be the limiting map, it usually the “torque map” but not always it may be the “fuel temperature map”. So you need to know what maps you actually have and which ones limit the others before you can actually tune it correctly.
yes you need to be a chemist to be a high quality tuner, you will be dealing with the effect of altitude on air quality, the effect of temperature on air density, the burning of fuels and the amount of gases produced, the effect of compressing gasses and how temperature’s build up from both compression and expansion. What gasses can be used to aid “gains” and what causes “losses”, how we can use these things to improve our tuned map.
- computer knowledge
Use a computer, not just the basics you really need to know how to use:
In Excel you need to be able to write formulas for multiplication and division of cells, you need to be able to map cells, format numbers and set borders, text and cell colours and of course Copy and
Paste functions. Why? Well you’re going to start by doing maths on non-existent maps to understand the changes and calculations required to make those changes, then you’re going to link one map to another map and see how changes in one affect another map.
Notepad++, this is not Notepad this is a different version that will allow you to open and convert files into different file extensions.
Hex Editor, you will need to know what “HEX” is so you can start to understand what language is inside the ECU this will help you when you have a problem, its not something you will need until much later on in this guide and by the time I introduce it you will have the basic knowledge to use it
- Tuning software
Tuning software, from the easy to use ECM titanium to the harder WinOls. Easy to use does not mean it’s what you should use. Whilst ECM is designed to be an easy to use program it really shouldn’t be used beyond the training level. I will explain later why I say this.
WinRar and or 7-zip, because you’ll be sending files via the internet.
Email, and additionally a file transfer program such as “We transfer” because your zip’d file will be too big to send via email or you’re anti-virus will block the zip’d file as it may contain a virus!!! Well that’s how viruses are transmitted by email attachments so they do not look at the file just see a zip’d file and go “oh no it’s bad” and block it.
- ECU reading program, combined with an ECU reading tool.
You need to connect your computer to the ECU, often via the 16 pin OBD port, however a lot of ECU’s need to be removed from the vehicle and taken apart, inside there is a programming port which is just a line of gold pads about 1mm in diameter that you need to connect to. So you’re going to need 2 tools, one for a OBD connection the other for a direct to ECU connection, then you’ll need the software to operate each tool and you need to know how to use this software and save the file you have read from the ECU so you can work on it.
- good bench and comfortable chair
You need a good wooden toped bench, preferably with a light coloured top so you can find all the screws you have removed and as it may be necessary to remove a chip from the board to be able to read the main chip you’ll need to find
this afterwards. A comfy chair, it’s important to be sat at the correct height for you bench and you’ll be there for a few hours so if it’s not the right chair you’ll get neck and back pain, maybe so much so you decide to “that’ll do I’ve had enough for today” rather than “yep that’s finished”
- magnifying glass
Well you need a magnifying glass so you can look on the ECU and read which is pin 1 and a good light source, I use a telescopic magnifier with a built in tube light, its mounted on the end of the bench and I can pull it in front of me or push it out of the way in a second so as not to have to look for it and drop what I’m holding.
Oh and its worth buying a tool called a “third hand” it’s usually a metal base with a few random clips on it, this allows you to hold something still whilst holding solder in one hand and a soldering iron in the other.
- supply of 1k and 10k resistors
Then you want a supply of 1k and 10k resistors, a handful of capacitors personally I have quad buffers, canbus transmitters and more, there is a full list in the Equipment Appendix at the end of this guide, but its about £25 for all these items and you have them so that IF you need them you don’t to stop what you’re doing and drive into town.
- tools for soldering and scratching
You’ll need a good selection of tools, ECU’s are normally well hidden requiring removal of many parts to get to them before you can remove them.
Then you’ll need a proper soldering workstation that is temperature controlled with both a hot air blower and a solid tip soldering iron. You will also need a “flux pen” this needs to be “ROSIN” flux to aid any soldering you do, then you’ll need a cleaner to remove old flux and old solder.
A sharp knife to scratch away any coverings, then you need a few different shaped tweezers and thin nosed pliers so you don’t burn your fingers…
So now do you see that the £200 clone Kess V2 at http://www.cardiagtool.co.uk/ wasn’t such a cheap way into this job!
- ecu remapping abilities
Apart from removal of the ECU (where needed when an OBD read is not possible) you will also need to be able to carry out mechanical checks before you start to even think to re map this ECU. Sensors need to be checked, cleaned or renewed, oil changed, airfilter replaced, airfilter housing modified, inlet manifold cleaned, EGR flap blanked, DPF filter removal, crankcase filter replaced and modified the list goes on and these things need to be done before any map changes are made, you can never map a car because it has a problem. Too often I see that a map has been done with a DPF delete because the car had a DPF problem. All this will do is mask the fault codes, the ECU will still be dealing with the fault and your map will not be doing its job because the ECU will have a map that over rides the actual output signals.
Additionally you will need a battery stabiliser and a bench power source.
- bench power source
Your bench power source will be required to power up an ECU removed from a car to allow you access to the programming pads, you need 12 or 24 volts dependant on what it has normally and I recommend a 2amp supply, in reality you need about 0.5 to 0.75 amps to power an ECU however if you use a 1amp supply it may just cause you to “brick” the ECU ( the term “brick” refers to the fact that it is now only useful as a brick to stop the car rolling down the hill) this is because a 1 amp rated supply will have an efficiency rating on an cheap power supply around 10%THD that means it’ll give between 0.9 and 1.1 amps in its normal operating temperature range, but hang on your in your garage and it’s been 3 degree’s overnight and now its 10 am, the power unit will be out of range and may only give 0.6 amps, then your ECU is cold so it now needs more power so instead of 0.75amps it needs 20% more so that’s 0.9 amps and you have just shut down your ECU, if that’s mid read, or worse mid write it’s a brick. So why 2amps and not 5amps? Well you have an open ECU and your connecting wires to it, drop a wire with 5amps and it turns into a portable welder sparks fly and ECU is brick, at 2amps which is really 1.6amps it should survive any short circuit you do.
- battery stabiliser
Right then what’s a battery stabiliser? Well as your sat there car door open, ignition on the battery is losing volts, as it can take 30mins to read or write an ECU that’s a lot of volts its losing drop to low and bosh ECU brick, why not use a battery charger? Well these give current, and current will damage your computer interface, never use jump leads onto another car or battery if the lead slips it’ll spike the system, battery booster…no these are designed for a short sharp boost not a constant slow drain. If you have no choice a 2amp battery charger is the last result, often sold in local stores such as Argos or Halfords as “battery maintainers” these will not produce enough current to damage things, but they are not to be trusted as they will not maintain a level they will just trickle away a bit of power so as things turn on and off (you will need to turn ignition on and off several times) the voltage will be up and down, this will cause an error at the least it will give you a “wake up error” which is a no read situation.
- “crib” sheets
I have a set series of things to do during the entire process.
My first crib sheet includes driving the car to make sure it hasn’t got a fault, checking all the lights work, check the remote door locks work, the heated seat and more.
Mechanical condition deal with checking all the mechanical things are ok, perform a check of the sensors, you will need a generic scanner for this to read out the ECY fault codes. You must check that all the sensors on the engine are working correctly, test with the engine off, with the engine just on idle and then with it held at 3500rpm for 30 seconds.
has the customer got the radio code because you will disconnect the battery, check under the seats for mobile phones or other valuables, never remove anything ask the customer to remove it. Look in the boot check what is there and make a list of items. Check the tyres, look for anything like a nail in the tread that may actually be a slow puncture, make sure the tyres are legal and check the tyre pressures, this will tell you how well he looks after the car and also if there is a slow puncture. I also check brake pads, oil level and condition, air filter etc. If anything is not correct do not proceed with the map. Fix the car first or you will have problems after the map which you will have to search for and fix before you get paid, if you did not know the condition before you started you will spend a lot of time trying to understand and undo what you’ve done.
I record all these on my crib sheets either by a tick to say I’ve checked or by writing in a number or a note, then I get the customer to sign it before I start work on his cars maps. We will also keep sheets for the changes we make, we will have one that looks at each component of the system to see who
it’s made by, what’s its part number, what does it do? It’s working range so we can refer quickly to the information and make job easier.

There’s been a noticeable shift among the more prominent punk bands, especially within the emo and post-hardcore realm, over the past year or so. The signs first appeared in the summer of 2014, when Tigers Jaw, widely considered one of the godfathers of the current emo landscape, released its third album Charmer. Then in the fall, post-hardcore mainstay Pianos Become the Teeth released its third LP Keep You, which was followed by Title Fight’s third album Hyperview in February. Most recently, emo/punk up-and-comer Turnover dropped its sophomore album Peripheral Vision back in May.
What do all of these albums have in common? Each feature the band undergoing a major shift in sound in order to explore the mellower side of their songwriting or technical abilities—or “going soft,” as many would claim. Naturally, responses have been split, with fans and critics either praising the bands for venturing into new territory or decrying them for devolving into what some describe as “bland, inoffensive indie rock” and “like a faceless, ’90s college rock throwaway band.”
But does a band really cease being punk if it shifts to a less aggressive sound?
Such a claim wrongly assumes that there is one uniform “punk” sound. The punk family tree is humongous, and given subsections like post-punk, shoegaze, and anti-folk, raw distortion is hardly the only sonic approach worthy of the punk distinction.
The Replacements are still classic punk material, though they stopped being a hardcore band. Joy Division relied heavily on the bass and keyboards that grew to be synonymous with ’80s New Wave, and to this day it’s still considered one of the godfathers of post-punk. My Bloody Valentine abandoned traditional distortion in favor of the wavy, atmospheric tones that became shoegaze, and now it’s considered a game-changer rather than a detractor.
Pure aggression does not define what is and isn’t “punk.” That is determined by a band’s approach to touring and music making, its ethos (which often bleeds into the lyrical content), and the sense of anger or dissatisfaction with the world as it is that lies at the heart of punk music. Punk is, at its base form, about change, be that a corrupt system or exorcising personal demons, so it’s only natural that some bands will decide to shift their sound at one point or another.
Pianos Become the Teeth left the screaming vocals and the manic, ferocious passages behind on Keep You because the record’s theme, singer Kyle Durfey coming to terms with his father’s passing, called for a more somber, restrained approach. On a similar level, Tigers Jaw gravitated toward moodier indie rock to better accompany the dark cynicism within many of Charmer‘s lyrics. If the thematic or lyrical content changes, then it’s only logical that the music would adjust accordingly and vice versa.
It’s hardly a new concept. Both The Replacements and Hüsker Dü started out as hardcore bands, and Ceremony’s new album The L-Shaped Man is a far cry from its hardcore/powerviolence past—so getting upset about the bands in transition right now seems directly against the philosophy of the genre when one takes in the big picture. We may feel more attached to the sounds of this generation’s bands because they resonate the most with us, but that doesn’t give us grounds to invalidate any progression those bands might undergo as time passes.
All we can do is accept that most punk bands worth their salt are constantly evolving. It doesn’t mean they stop being punk, because there is no one “punk” sound. There will always be people who latch onto a band’s first sound and denounce anything else as disingenuous pandering, but they’re missing the point of the genre they claim to defend. Being punk means seeking change, and sometimes that change comes with a softer touch. | <urn:uuid:e637bb99-992a-4f3a-8dfd-adba0793bff1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://popstache.com/features/pop-vicious/a-little-softer-now/ | 2020-09-29T03:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.951664 | 880 |
In her 2006 and 2008 campaigns for Congress, Darcy Burner did not stake out strongly progressive views — presumably because she needed to appeal to conservatives in the southern part of the old 8th CD.
This year Darcy is sounding much more progressive, as well as being a much better speaker.
But is Suzan DelBene significantly less progressive in her policy pronouncements than Darcy Burner? Suzan’s issues page indicates support for all the correct progressives policies: the Buffet rule, reinstating Glass Steagall, protecting Social Security and Medicare, clean energy, repealing DOMA, protecting freedom of choice, etc.
Some people have made the argument that Suzan DelBene is more likely to protect Microsoft’s state tax breaks, given her husband’s role as head of the Office division at Microsoft. This seems plausible. And people have criticized DelBene for having lots of money.
But Darcy too came from Microsoft, and if there are rich progressives, it’s a good thing to support them. Besides, DelBene is running for US Congress, not for the Washington State House or Senate. Would she protect Microsoft in the US House?
In other words, what concrete evidence is there to suggest that Suzan will be significantly less progressive than Darcy? [Yes, see addition below.] Is DelBene being supported by corporate forces within the Democratic Party? Is there concrete evidence that Suzan would protect Microsoft’s tax breaks? (Perhaps it’s just fair to presume that, and perhaps choosing DelBene would expose Democrats to populist charges of elitism.) Also, if Suzan DelBene wins the primary (unlikely) would/should local progressives support her? I presume so. In their eagerness to support Darcy, do progressives risk alienating DelBene?
At this point my preference is for Darcy Burner over Suzan DelBene. But I’m not aware of any solid information that would suggest that DelBene wouldn’t be a good choice. If you have such information, please share it.
BTW, I notice something odd. It feels acceptable to call DelBene and Burner by their first names. I wrote “Darcy” and “Suzan” earlier. But when talking about male candidates, it feels less acceptable to call them just by their first names. We don’t call Steve Hobbes “Steve.” We don’t call Adam Smith “Adam.” But I have heard progressives call Dennis Kucinich “Dennis.” So maybe this is all a function of familiarity and ideological and geographical proximity. If the male candidates were local to our district and if we agreed with their policies, we might call them by their first names. Not sure…
After writing the first version this article I found the solid evidence I was looking for.
According to this article by Chad Shue, Suzan DelBene has said that she would caucus with the New Democrats. In a video she says:
I would most likely not be in the Progressive Caucus. I would expect to be in the New Democrats Caucus. I think that’s a place that is fit for what I think needs to happen in terms of getting our economy moving and for breaking this idea that Democrats aren’t also supportive of business in our economy and I think that’s where the New Democrats have made a lot of progress.

Wildlife adventures rocked this week...literally. Our group of adventurers learned all about who studies rocks, what rocks are made of, and the rock cycle through numerous fun activities. Our kids were able to make their own metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks out of crayon shavings to demonstrate how the three rock types are formed. And even though it's the middle of June, we were able to experience our very own Easter egg hunt! Each hidden egg had a rock in it, so after all the eggs were collected, the group used their new knowledge about rocks to guess what type of rock formation it was.
On Thursday, our young explorers took a field trip to three different locations: the Eyring Science Center, the Museum of Paleontology, and Rock Canyon. At the science center, the group learned more about all of the rocks on display and was able to play with the exhibits. We also learned all about how fossils are formed between rocks at the Museum of Paleontology. Finally, we took a hike up rock canyon to learn about the importance of weathering and erosion in canyon formation.
After such a fun week, there is only one thing to say…geology rocks! | <urn:uuid:90993c86-6ed0-4c83-ba0a-57fabb45a7c9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.beanmuseum.org/2016/06/rock-on_48.html | 2020-09-29T03:21:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.97774 | 248 |

The Baby at work. After launching CD Baby, bilding it, selling it and living a minimalist life, Derek Sivers gave the creative world an exceptional tool to publish and market their work. The folks who took over the operation from Derek continue his work in an excellent way and have since built various possibilities for artists to promote their work.For independent artists like us (me & you) it is a perfct world to go public with our work, make it available in the main channels that once were only accessible by major label artists. The world has changed many years ago and continues to change. More and more artists find new ways to work on their art, to find an audience and release art to their audience. Derek was one of the founders of that new and extraordinary world.
I was lucky enough to have met him in person and can say from that experience that the man really lives what he preaches.
For us artists it means that we can strive and make a living and make more art for our audiences.
I just remembered that today when I realizend I have already sold more of my work through CD Baby and Film Baby than any other outlet.
To celebrate I want to draw attention to some other heroes of mine who made a living in unconventional ways. The DVD I made in 2008 is dedicated to all these heroes.
I called this show a “showdown in three acts”. Together with Hester Boverhuis of Amsterdam I wrote this show in 2003.
We performed it at a Munich gallery called Lothringer 13. The show is a trip to subcontious parts of the brain. Based on the experimental gonzo lifestyle and writings of Hunter Thompson and William Burroughs the show contains cut-ups of texts by Burroughs, Thompson and the Grimm brothers, plus fragments taken from a conversation of David Bowie and William Burroughs.
We staged exceptional surreal circumstances of life in sound, word and picture and recorded the show in Amsterdam the same year. After a hard fight to get funding for the post production, I was able to finally finish it in 2008, five years after the performance.
It is now a supercool dvd with 5.1. surround sound, the original stereotrack and stunning visuals. A real trip, I’m proud to say! | <urn:uuid:e0d71afc-adef-4f90-adcf-7bce05caed5a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.juergenreiter.com/blog/page/2/ | 2020-09-29T04:11:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.964442 | 475 |

Oops! Accidentally deleted some important files on your unrooted Android phone and wonder how to get them back? You may have already done a quick google search, but are upset by the search result which tells you that root access is required if you want to do a data recovery. Don’t worry. In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about how to recover deleted files from your unrooted Android phone.
Most of the Android data recovery tools in the market require Android phone to be root accessed in order to recover deleted files on android. Root access is required because the application for data recovery needs to interact with device’s storage unit on lower level. Android operating system uses an MTP protocol to restrict such advance level interaction with the device’s hardware to protect it from virus attacks. Root access solves much of the problems faced during Android data recovery process, but like any other technique, this too has its disadvantages.
Android’s security protocols are very strong – they don’t easily let any suspicious app interact with hardware on low level. So successfully rooting your system demands high technical skills and knowledge. Even when the phone is rooted, performing recovery operations is not only tricky but very risky as well. Rooting your Android phone voids warranty of device. It can also result in serious mal-functionality not only in device’s hardware but with its software as well.
Fortunately we have the most recommended data recovery tool which can recover deleted files from android unrooted. Unlike most Android data recovery tools, rooting access is not required when using iMyFone D-Back (Android) because it has applied cutting-edge technologies and skilles in the program, thus it can keep your phone safe.
D-Back recovers all file types including photos, contacts, documents, text messages, WhatsApp messages & attachments, audios, videos, and call logs.
Recover data from a Google backup in the most efficient manner.
Recovers your Android data in just a few simple and easy steps (choose, connect, and recover).
D-Back’s high-speed data recovery makes it the fastest Android data recovery software in the market.
Works equally efficiently for both rooted and unrooted Android devices.
Its extensive security feature makes your files 100 % safe with no data leaking or personal information theft.
Now you have a basic understanding of what D-Back for Android is and what it can do to save you from trouble. Let's dive into how to rescue data from unrooted android phone.
Step 1. Install and launch D-Back (Android) to choose a Recovery Mode.The steps for 3 modes are exactly the same, so we proceed with Android Data Recovery as an example.
Step 2. After clicking recovery mode you will be asked to select your device name and device model from a drop-down menu. And then press “Next” button.
Step 3. Then it will automatically start downloading data package according to your device’s brand and model. Keep your PC connected with internet preferably wifi during this process.
Step 4. Plug in your android phone with computer via USB cable. D-Back android interface will guide you to enter downloading mode in 3 simple steps.
Step 5. Select as many file types or all as you want to retrieve and click “Next” to analyze the selected files.
Step 6. Select from the preview all the files you want to recover and click “Recover” button to retrieve all the selected files. The files will be saved on your computer.
You need to ensure a few things before rooting your android phone with root APK.
1. Device is ON.
2. Your Android phone battery charging should be plus 50%. If its battery timing is too short, try to charge it 100% before rooting the phone.
3. A reliable and fast internet connection, preferably wifi.
4. From phone’s security setting enable "Allow apps installation from unknown sources".
Follow these steps to root your android phone with an APK:
1. Download the APK you want to use for rooting your android phone. A prompt message saying, “This type of file may harm your device. Do you want to keep .apk anyway?” In such case click OK to proceed.
2. Install .apk file on your device If you had not enabled installation from unknown sources, a prompt message “For security, your phone is set to block installation of apps from unknown sources” appears. In this case click “SETTINGS” and allow installation from unknown sources.
3. Launch the app for rooting your android phone.
4. Wait for a few seconds for installation process to complete.
5. You may need to try several times for installing apk root.
Give you previleged control over device’s hardware and software.
Enable you to run all types of apps (previously restricted by Android).
It gives you control over management of system’s internal storage; hence enables you to free storage for more apps and files.
Rooting an Android device has some serious disadvantages as well which make it not a good practice. These disadvantages are:
Android Device Warranty Becomes Void. One of the most serious disadvantages of rooting an Android device is that its warranty becomes void after rooting. Whatever the cause of damage to your device is, you will not be able to claim warranty after it has been rooted.
More Chances of Android Device Becoming Dead. Because of the privileged control over hardware and software, and installing unsupported apps, your Android device may behave abnormally or even become dead as a result of rooting.
Rooting Makes Android Device Susceptible to Virus Attacks. Rooting dismantles Android device’s security protocols against viruses or third party malicious files/apps. Hence after rooting, your android device becomes an easy target of viruses.
Why take a risky and difficult path when there is an easy and efficient alternative available. D-Back for Android eliminates any need to root your android phone. It is your go to solution when you want to recover deleted files from your unrooted android phone.

words: Bill, photos: uhhhh…yikes
The holidays are upon us and if you are anything like me, you’re going to wait until the last minute to get gifts for your loved ones. However the following items may be more appropriate for your enemies…these things are tragic. We have a saying in the office that describes many of these: it has too many pieces of flair (a reference to Jennifer Anniston’s job at TGIFriday in Office Space). Rings all over the place, fonts that haven’t been used in years, trying to cram as many pieces of flair as can possibly fit, and some of these…well see for yourselves. Let’s start with my favorite one (it goes rapidly downhill from there):
Vintage Mens AUDI SPORT Rancing Germany Jacket
Let’s get right to the point here: IT SAYS FACTORY RANCING…RANCING. That alone should be reason enough not to buy this. But there’s more; rings galore and exactly how many times does Audi appear on this jacket? Horrible, just horrible. Perfect for that Audi ‘fan’ in your life. If you feel like spending $89 on a misspelt abomination, you can find it HERE
Benzo/Au9i Graphic Tee
And you thought Rancing was bad. Here we have a t-shirt with Benzo and Au9i. I don’t even know what to say. It’s not like they are trying to get around trademarks because the Mercedes Benz and Audi logos are there…along with Bentley (?), BMW (?), and a Volkswagen R? Oh and Grand Prix, a globe, something on fire…I can’t go on any more. Find it HERE for $60…sixty (note: same place as the above jacket).
Audi Low Top Canvas Shoes
Hurry….these are $25 off the regular sale price. Apparently after you place your order, you have to wait several days for a tracking number because these shoes are custom made to order. That there’s some premium stuff. Find it HERE.
Audi Classic Thong
It’s an Audi thing…you wouldn’t understand! Gift for your girlfriend? Wife? Mom? Dad? They wouldn’t understand…why they stick around if you gave them this. Yours for only $15.74 HERE
Audi 3D All Over Printed Sports Car Clothes by VoidStyle
The company should have been called AvoidStyle, know what I mean? You can choose several items plastered with rings and an R8 such as a hoodie, t-shirt, shorts, tank top, etc. I’ll let you decide if you will Void and/or Avoid. Find it HERE for $49.99 (down from $65.99).
Audi Minimalistic Design Tank Top
Does that t-shirt say…poop? Maybe the designer shouldn’t have put minimal effort into this shirt. Find it HERE for $19.69
Audi Car Women’s Leggings
Audi Collection has a pair of leggings in their store that is like Audi itself; sleek and simple. This pair however is the exact opposite. The four rings sit on the hips while bold AUDI runs down the legs…gaudy to say the least. Yours for only $42.95 (down from $69.95) HERE.
Black Audi R8 Headlights PhotoBeachTowel
If there is one item on this list that I may possibly even think about getting, this may be it. I mean, it’s something I won’t be wearing but rather lying down on. *Slap* sorry…it’s getting late. It does have a beautiful print on it though. Find it HERE for $39.99.
Ugly Truth Girlfriend Funny In Love With Audi RS2 Parody T Shirt
This is classy. Enough said. If you really want it, find it HERE for $19.99.
I Used To Drive Funny Cars Trending T Shirt
What exactly is an Audi 77? Ooooohhhh…it’s TT. That’s so funny. Minimum effort went into this t-shirt just like the one above and the POOP t-shirt but it’s funny. Yours for $19.99 HERE.
Audi TT T-Shirt
Every single inch of this shirt is covered in Audi flair. A TT on the front, a TT on the back, TT on both sleeves and front, rings on the front and back but the real scary part of this is the mannequin modeling the shirt. You’re going to have to reach across the Atlantic if you want this one. €19.99 HERE
Audi T-Shirt Motorsport S line Audi RS Allroad Punisher Skull T-Shirt
The designer of this shirt is Design Sukses. Now is the 2nd word pronounced Success or Sucks because this t-shirt is definitely one but not the other. The super long name makes me think someone put all Audi names in a bowl and just grabbed a handful to create the name. Plus I don’t think that’s the Punisher’s logo. Punish yourself HERE for just $20.
Ok, I think I’ve abused you enough for the time being. The 2nd installment of our Please Do Not Buy Holiday Gift Guide will be here before you know it. | <urn:uuid:27938fb7-57fb-4e80-b463-2d541ebd4078> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://audiclubna.org/the-please-do-not-buy-holiday-gift-guide-pt-1/ | 2020-09-29T03:36:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.919256 | 1,165 |
Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in Doylestown held an induction ceremony Monday, Oct. 7 for 21 academically flourishing seventh grade students who were welcomed into the Blessed Duns Scotus Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society.
The school, one of a handful of nationally recognized Blue Ribbon Schools in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, is led by Principal Elizabeth Barry and Msgr. Charles Hagan, pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish.
The Doylestown school is well known to families in the central Bucks County area for providing an excellent academic and faith-based education to students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.
The keynote speaker for the induction ceremony was Marc Farzetta, host of sports radio station 610 WIP in Philadelphia. An alumnus of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, Farzetta also participated in student council, choir, sports and received the Good Sportsmanship Award at his graduation in 1997.
His talent for public speaking was recognized at an early age at OLMC where he got a jump start on his career as a sports radio announcer by serving as the bus announcer for the school.
Farzetta attended Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster and is a 2005 graduate of Temple University, where he received a degree in broadcasting. He credits the success he has had throughout his education and career to the moral values, strong work ethic and perseverance developed while attending OLMC School.
“Our Lady of Mount Carmel School had such a strong influence on my development at a young age,” Farzetta said. “The values I learned at home were lessons that were extended in this school.”
The National Junior Honor Society is characterized by the five pillars of scholarship, leadership, citizenship, character and service.

Take a step back in time. Conservation Halton’s parks contain rich and fascinating history waiting for you to discover. Whether it’s exploring a reconstructed 15th century Iroquoian village, or viewing some of the best persevered historic lime kilns in Ontario, you’ll feel a connection to local history. You can even spend time walking paths where “no one” has lived for generations. You are sure to come away with a new appreciation for the families and individuals that have helped make our parks the treasures they are today.
We acknowledge that we are in the traditional territory of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Attawanderon and Metis people. We also acknowledge that these lands are the treaty lands of the Mississauga’s of the New Credit First Nation.
15th Century Reconstructed Iroquoian Village
The University of Western Ontario and the Museum of Ontario Archaeology first excavated the Crawford Lake site between 1972 and 1987 under the supervision of Dr. William Finlayson. During that time, the remains of 11 longhouses and a number of features and artifacts were uncovered. Between 2013 and 2017, AMEC Foster-Wheeler has continued the excavations and revealed the remains of another longhouse and several more artifacts. It has been concluded that the site has seen 2 periods of occupation over a span of approximately 200-300 years. The modern reconstruction of the village represents the second occupation period dated between 1436 and 1457 and home to people who were possibly ancestors of the Wendat. The village likely had 5 longhouses and an estimated population of about 250 people.
Crawford Family Cottage Remains
George Crawford moved to the Campbellville area with his 8 sisters and mother from Scotland in 1818. The following year, George’s father, Andrew, joined the family and received a Crown grant of 100 acres next to his son’s 200 acres. George and his wife Esther had 11 children. In 1889, George’s son Murray established a saw mill in Campbellville (the buildings can still be seen south of the intersection of Guelph Line and Campbell Ave. in the town of Campbellville). Murray was on the lookout for a commercial logging area and he eventually bought the 200 acres, including the lake. At this location, the Crawford’s built a large summer cottage in 1899, which served the family for many years. By 1963, Murray’s grandson had taken over the mill/business and he (Murray Mahon) decided to sell the land to Conservation Halton in the 1969. The remains of the cottage front porch can still be seen beside Crawford Lake.
The Howard Farm
In 1903, William Howard purchased 50 acres of land near what is now known as the Nassagaweya Canyon. In 1906, Howard purchased a further 100 acres from Henry Stingle. Stingle had owned the land since 1845 and – as a carpenter – built wooden furniture, including coffins, for the locals in the area. (The remains of the Stingle bank barn and outbuildings can still be viewed along the bypass trail between the Snowshoe and Nassagaweya Canyon trails). This land was split in 1913, when William sold 100 acres to his son Nelson and 50 acres to his son Jack. In 1918, Nelson ended up taking over his brother’s 50 acres. Nelson’s son, Tom, took over the farm in 1945. In 1971, Tom sold the property to Conservation Halton. Not much remains of the Howard family farm. The Crawford Lake Visitor Centre is built on the location of the Howard farm house and the Wolf Clan Longhouse is now located where the Howard barn once stood. You can still find evidence of the family farm in the field boundaries that extend through the Iroquoian Village.
The Mountsberg Conservation Area, which is named for the nearby village of the same name, is located in both the Township of Puslinch and in the Township of East Flamborough. The park is named for the nearby village of Mountsberg which was named after Josiah Mount, a native of Leicestershire who immigrated to Canada in 1835. “Mountsberg” was chosen to honour the Mount family and acknowledge the topography of the area with its gently rolling hills. Within the park’s property are found remains from two very interesting families; the McCraes and the Camerons.
The McCrae Chimney
The McCrae name was made famous by one of their sons who lived on the property for many years. He is better known as Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae who immortalized the despair, dismay and pointlessness of war he witnessed during World War 1. John McCrae died in France in 1918, but he left a short poem that guaranteed his immortality in the English speaking world. It begins: “In Flanders fields the poppies grow…” The remains of a chimney from the McCrae family farm still exist on property adjacent to the Mountsberg Dam. The chimney has become an important habitat for Chimney swifts, a threatened species in Ontario.
The Cameron Farm
The Camerons moved into the area from Scotland and built the farm house and bank barn that can still be seen in the park today. They were responsible for the early years of the sugar bush, grew apples in the orchard and also farmed pigs. The Camerons owned the farm until it was sold in 1960 and became part of the Conservation Authority in 1964. The ruins of a small lime kiln can still be seen along the Pioneer Creek Trail between the frog pond and Milburough line.
Edward Hilton constructed the first mill on the site in 1835. The fate of his mill was connected to historical events of the period. Hilton supported William Lyon McKenzie in the rebellion of 1837, and after the uprising was crushed, Hilton fled to the United States, leaving his mill to fall into ruin. In 1856, Dr. George Park acquired the property and built another mill, with an immense 12 metre diameter waterwheel to power the machinery. Park sold the operation in 1857, but the mill burned down soon afterward in 1860. The final mill, constructed by John Richards, operated from 1863 until 1867. Follow the Hilton Falls Trail (yellow trail markers) to view the remains of the mill and the stunning falls.
The Christie-Henderson Lime Kilns
Considered the best preserved lime kilns in Ontario, the Christie-Henderson lime kilns are located within Kelso Conservation Area. In the 19th century, the lime mortar industry was vital to the growth of early towns. Lime was used in the building industry, glass manufacturing and as a disinfectant. Around 1830, Charles Christie had settled in the area from Scotland and saw the potential for quarrying at the site. His son, David Darling Christie, expanded on the quarry interest at Kelso when the Credit Valley Railway was built through the area in 1879. The present kilns were built in the 1880s and continued operation until 1929. Follow the Lime Kiln Trail to view the ruins of the Christie-Henderson lime kilns.
Alexander Family Farm
Kelso Conservation Area is located on the former Alexander family farm. A notable family member was Adam Alexander III, who harnessed the power of a stream running over the Niagara Escarpment to generate enough electricity for his house and his farm machinery. This was at a time when his contemporaries still used coal, kerosene, and horse powered machinery. The Alexander family house, barn, and other 19th century structures have all been incorporated into Kelso Conservation Area and are located adjacent to the public parking area.
What’s in a name?
Rattlesnake Point’s name origin is quite mysterious; possibly receiving its name as a reference to a time when the Massassauga rattlesnake was common in the region or perhaps from the snake-like path cut by glaciers along the edges of the Niagara Escarpment. One of the many stunning lookouts along the trails reflect the conservation efforts of Conservation Halton. The “Buffalo Crag Lookout” used to overlook a herd of bison that were kept by the authority as breeding stock to reintroduce bison to the prairies. The bison are no longer kept at Rattlesnake Point as they were moved permanently to Mountsberg Conservation Area in the late 1980s.
What’s in a name?
Mount Nemo Conservation Area is named for the nearby village of the same name. In 1906, a post office was established in the area and the local residents could not agree on a name for their community. Ultimately they chose the name Mount Nemo, which recognizes the high elevation of the Escarpment on which their homes were situated and “Nemo” the Latin term for “no one”.
Mount Nemo Quarry
The remains of a quarry pit and several buildings dot Mount Nemo along the hiking trails. These ruins speak to the past and continued importance of limestone in the area. Unfortunately, little information remains of the quarry operations within Mount Nemo.

If you know Brian Van Hall, our Executive Director, you know that he LOVES surprises and LOVES being the center of attention. Just kidding. In fact, the opposite is true, but we wanted to celebrate his birthday in a very public way and acknowledge him anyway. The kids at the hospital got really excited last week when I told them about the plan to make birthday signs as a surprise for Brian. While we were working on the signs, one of the kids asked me, “Are we doing this for the director because he’s so nice?” I love that question.
I told her that’s exactly why we’re doing it. That innocent little question from one of the kids says a lot. Here in Niger, culturally it makes all the sense in the world to do something to honor the “Director” (with a capital D), no matter who he is, because he is the boss. But this child was able to see that what we were doing was different. We were not doing something for “the Director,” we were doing something for Brian. He is an amazingly skilled hospital administrator and leader, but he’s also so caring, nurturing, sensitive, and humble.
On Friday morning, before devotions, the kids (and many of the mothers) all gathered together with the signs that they made, and put on their party hats. They all marched over to the chapel, singing “Happy Birthday” in French, and burst into the chapel to surprise everyone. They were so excited about this party, and even though some paper party hats and a cake are not that big of a deal, for them, this was an event. They sat so patiently and still through the entire meeting and not one of them took off their party hats. They wore them for hours even after the party.
Once the meeting was done, we cut the cake and passed it out. Each kid got their piece of cake and maybe only two out of the entire group actually started eating it. The rest of them just sat in their chairs staring at the cake as though they had never seen cake before in their lives. Some of them probably hadn’t. They carefully wrapped up their cake in their napkin and said they were saving it for later. I don’t think you would find that anywhere else in the world – kids sitting there, cake in hand, and not eating it! I honestly think they were just so overwhelmed and excited by the whole event that they weren’t really ready or able to eat. They were so excited by the celebration that they didn’t have time to think about cake.
I strongly believe that kids are the best judge of character. They know when they’re truly loved and accepted. Brian’s revolving office door is proof that these kids feel extremely loved and accepted by him. They are constantly hanging out in his office at all times of the day. He has been nothing but loving and that is why they were so excited to celebrate him on his birthday.
Plus, you know…cake.

I’m not worthy of my kids.
As much as I try to lead them and teach them, I’m following them and learning from them. As much as I’m supposed to be the one blazing the trail for my sons, the older I get, the more experience I have with fatherhood, I realize this is something we’re doing together.
I share what I’ve learned, my kids teach how to break my habits and try new things, and we both become greater people for it.
The greatest gift a father can ever receive is seeing his children do things he never thought possible. From Charlie’s impressive creativity to Zacharie’s empathetic heart, my sons blow my mind regularly.
But still, a little selfish piece of me inside would like to be their superhero. The one who they turn to when times are tough, when they need help, when they need saving.
If you really want to know where you stand in your kids’ lives, what they truly think of you, and what super powers you really possess, ask them to draw a picture of you as a superhero.
Now here’s the thing: I actually own a superhero costume. A few year’s ago, a fashion friend of mine and I designed a SuperBuzz costume. It’s got the logo and the cape, and I break it out on Halloween every couple of years.
My kids did not draw me as SuperBuzz or SuperDad or anything Super. They chose unique superpowers for their dad.
I asked Charlie to describe his drawing of me as the superhero, Captain Flibbert.
“He has barely any hair, and what is there is covered by a little glass dome because his farts are toxic. He has one tiny arm and one huge arm. He has a gas mask because he does not want to get sick by his farts. His cape is pink, blue, red, purple, and brown. His super powers are toxic farts and flying.” (The best part is he made his sketch using smelly markers.)
Zacharie went along a different theme, dubbing me Dock.
“His mask helps him when he travels around the world to dangerous and polluted areas. The straps carry bombs and grenades. One of his hands is a drill so he can get materials. Dock has a gas tank and uses it for his special kind of spray gun. The spray gun can heal people and he’s a doctor who specializes in different chemicals than can heal the body. “
“I’m a radio guy, I’m not a doctor,” I remind him.
“Okay, he’s also really good at naming 70s, 80s, and 90s music. Oh, and he wears jeans because they’re stylish.”
Want to get in on the fun (and get a reality check)?
Between now and Father’s Day, Mark’s is hosting a social media contest calling on dads to ask their child(ren) to draw a picture of him, depicting him as a superhero. Then take a photo or scan of the drawing, post it to social media, and tag @MarksCanada using #SuperheroDad.
Mark’s will review the entries and select a group of winners who will be gifted a wide range of prizes, including a $500 Mark’s gift card, an in-store shopping experience at Mark’s with country star Brett Kissel, and two round-trip experiences for two to attend the CFL Grey Cup!
Full contest details are available here.

Tripadvisor presents report that reveals the truthfulness of its reviews
Only 4.7% of all opinions were rejected or removed automatically or manually by the content moderation team
TripAdvisor, the travel platform trusted by millions of consumers around the world for their traveler comments, today published its first Comment Transparency Report, which reveals details never before shared about its comment moderation processes, as well as Statistical data on the volume of false review attempts directed to the platform in 2018.
The report, which analyzed the full-year data on reviews submitted by the global travel community, revealed the overall volume of reviews submitted to TripAdvisor in 2018. It details the multi-layered approach that TripAdvisor adopts to ensure reviews published on Your pages meet the site guidelines. The report also provides a detailed breakdown of the proportion of reviews that were blocked or deleted.
"Ensuring that TripAdvisor is a reliable platform for our users and listed companies is a priority. We continue to advance our industry-leading fraud detection efforts in recent years, but it is a daily battle and we are far from complacent," he said. Becky Foley, senior director of trust and security at TripAdvisor. "While we win the fight against fake reviews on TripAdvisor, we can only protect our corner of the Internet. As long as other review platforms are not taking aggressive measures, scammers will continue to exploit and extort small businesses for cash." It's time for other platforms such as Google and Facebook to come to the plate to join us to address this problem head on. "
Key Results of the Report
The global travel community sent 66 million comments to TripAdvisor in 2018. All were analyzed using advanced fraud detection technology, and 2.7 million were subject to further human evaluation by content moderators.
4.7% of all review submissions were rejected or removed by TripAdvisor's advanced analysis technology or manually by the content moderation team. There are several reasons why TripAdvisor rejects or eliminates reviews, ranging from violations of guidelines to cases of revision fraud.
Only a small fraction of all review submissions (2.1%) were determined to be fraudulent, and the vast majority (73%) were blocked before they were published.
This amounted to more than 1 million false reviews that were not shown on TripAdvisor.
Less than 1% of reviews were flagged by users or companies for potentially violating TripAdvisor's guidelines. The TripAdvisor content moderation team reviewed most of these community reports within six hours of submission.
34,643 companies were subject to a classification penalty, which is a reduction in the position of a property within the popularity or traveler classification. Classification penalties apply when a company is caught trying to post false reviews.
The report also described the efforts of TripAdvisor to catch paid reviewers. Paid reviewers are individuals or companies that try to sell "user" reviews to companies listed on the site. Since 2015, TripAdvisor has stopped the activity of more than 75 websites that were caught trying to sell reviews, including a person who was sentenced to nine months in prison by the Lecce Criminal Court in Italy last year.
"Consumer reviews have become essential for millions of tourism activities around the world. It is progress, as long as, as recently recommended by the World Tourism Ethics Committee, these reviews are reliable and unbiased," said Pascal Lamy, President of the World Committee. on tourism ethics at the UNWTO (World Tourism Organization). "Therefore, it is encouraging to see that platforms like TripAdvisor are committed to transparency in the way they monitor, control and manage the reviews they receive to prevent abuse and fraud". | <urn:uuid:975c11d1-afb8-479d-892c-2c4cc6d60eda> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://en.travel2latam.com/nota/56320-technology-tripadvisor-presents-report-that-reveals-the-truthfulness-of-its-reviews.html | 2020-09-29T05:08:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.971538 | 741 |

USA’s The Purge
Season 2, Episode 7: “Should I Stay or Should I Go”
Directed by Darren Grant
Written by Nick Zigler

* For a recap & review of the next episode, “Before the Sirens” – click here
We have a look The Merrymakers Mask Co. They’re the ones who make all those cool neon-lighted, glow-in-the-dark masks, and all kinds of other designs to wear for going out to kill on Purge Night. They want to make a push for LGBTQ marketing with a cutesy rainbow-coloured mask, and they’ll give proceeds over to a charity, all towards the appearance of giving a shit. One guy suggests building a mask based on the Campus Killer, the God mask. Funny to hear them distinguish between “Purge masks” and “murder masks.”
116 days left until the Purge.
Esme and Ryan are sneaking beneath the watch of the NFFA’s surveillance. She’s rerouting her signal to keep herself relatively invisible. They’re still a relatively fresh pair together, so Ryan wonders why she’d come to him. Esme thinks he has honour, which we know he does, though he plays humble. She only uses her NFFA access briefly, enough to keep the all-seeing eye away for a short amount of time. Then they’re back on the road. Now Ryan has the identities of the thieving gang the Jackals.
Things are very awkward with Kelen and Ben. She’s trying to get away from him, after discovering the eerie things he’s been trying to hide. She can’t manage to do that, and they’ll be on the road back to school together for a long ride. Speaking of awkward, Marcus is dealing with the aftermath of everything he’s discovered. He’s keeping a close watch on the neighbours, especially. He walks in on a party of people and demands to know what he did to make them want to Purge him. A guy named Clint claims Marcus killed his wife. She came into the ER one night. Dr. Marcus couldn’t save her. For that, supposedly he’s meant to die. They want him to leave, then they might “take the hit off” his head. If not, Clint vows to kill Marcus himself.
On the road together, Esme and Ryan have to take a detour. His mom’s wandered off from the home where she lives. Elsewhere on the road, Ben comes clean to Kelen about what has been happening with him. He tells her about the strawberry stand. He thinks her reactions mean they’re becoming closer and that she cares deeply about him. More than likely she’s playing along, considering she’s stuck in the car with him, no place else to go. Not to mention, he has a knife. Although he gives it to her so she feels “completely safe.” Oh, man. So fucked up.
At a gas station, Kelen tries to get out from under Ben’s thumb. He takes her phone when she goes to the bathroom, so she leaves a note about the Campus Killer kidnapping her. She’s about to make a run for it back at the car when Ben’s ready to get driving again.
Ryan catches up with his mother, who was found by a couple cops. They want to see his ID, so he gives them a real one. They use their high-tech surveillance gear to check him out. They see he was previously a cop himself. He’s more worried about them walking back to the vehicle. Thankfully, Esme’s hiding. For the moment, she’s left on foot. She has her blond wig, but her face is recognisable. She sees a flyer that ends up connecting her with Vivian, who’s intent on helping her friend under the nose of their boss, even if also reluctant to trust anybody in particular. Later, she makes it back to Ryan’s hideout, revealing she feels guilt for many reasons, one of which is she’s the reason Tommy got nailed for his off-Purge crime. For that, Ryan wants her out.
All of a sudden the road trip for Kelen looks to be getting sinister. Ben found the note she left at the gas station washroom. He questions why she’d do it. She’s terrified. He orders her to pick up the knife: “I want you to cut me.” He believes the only thing holding people back from violence is “guilt and fear.” He nearly gets off trying to make her cut him, then she fully stabs him in the leg, running away. She rushes straight into the road, getting run down by a truck. Ben watches her struggle for life and puts her out of her misery, choking her to death.
Marcus, Michelle, and Darren are all going to get out town together. They pass through a checkpoint, giving over their IDs. Unfortunately, Darren isn’t allowed “across state lines.” He has to tell his father he’s in trouble with the government. He doesn’t want to involve his father, but Marcus won’t abandon him, either. They go back home, and the neighbourhood’s watching, especially Clint. A tough situation for Marcus.
While Esme leaves Ryan’s place she assures she’s going to blow up everything the NFFA is doing. This makes him rethink everything. With that, we skip right up until there remains only 2 days before Purge Night. There are many, many things about to occur. Ben’s ready for a government-sanctioned murder spree, probably. He’s thrilled to see the God mask in stores, making him feel more godlike than ever. Marcus and Michelle are left to wonder if he’s going to get murdered, which is why he’s 100% ready and armed. Meanwhile, Esme’s gearing up to take the system down. She and Ryan have gotten intimate in the many weeks since we last saw them.
Soundtrack: “Monster (Under My Bed)” by Call Me Karizma plays in this last scene

The Woodlands Area is a region of the world map in Final Fantasy VII. Most of the area is on an island in the south between the Gongaga Area and Junon Area. There is a small bit of land south of the island included in the Woodlands Area.
The "tail" of the island behind mountains is not part of the Woodlands Area, belonging to Junon Area. Early concept art of the world map shows the Woodlands Area and the Junon Area on one contiguous land. This may suggest that separating the Woodlands Area into an island may have been a late change in development, with the mountains initially serving as the significant divider between areas before the small bit of land was deleted making it an island.
The Woodlands Area gets its name from forests that cover the center of the area, and in the center of the forest is the Temple of the Ancients. This it the area's only feature and the player comes here in the story after obtaining and forfeiting the Keystone in the Gold Saucer, chasing Sephiroth based on a lead supplied by Rufus. After solving the temple's puzzles, the pyramid on the world map is replaced by a hole.

EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio -- The woman in a graphic photo, who was seen passed out in a car after allegedly overdosing on heroin, pleaded no contest to her charges in court Thursday.
Rhonda Pasek previously pleaded not guilty to endangering a child, disorderly conduct and public intoxication. She withdrew that plea and entered a plea of no contest.
She was sentenced to 180 days in jail and fined $280 on the child endangering charge. She was also fined on her other charges.
The infamous photo, distributed by the East Liverpool Police Department, showed Pasek sitting in the passenger seat slumped next to the unconscious driver. Meanwhile, her 4-year-old grandson was seated in the back, looking out the window.
Six weeks before her arrest on September 7, she had been granted custody of her grandson, said Dane Walton, administrator for the Columbiana County Juvenile Court. The boy's parents had been unable to raise him. He will now live with his great-aunt and great-uncle in South Carolina, Walton added.
Last week, a police officer spotted a car weaving erratically between lanes, according to an affidavit.
The driver, James Acord, was trying to tell the officer that he was transporting Pasek to the hospital, when he lost consciousness.
Paramedics administered Narcan, an opiate reversal agent, to Pasek, who was turning blue, according to an affidavit. The pair "almost definitely" would have died had police not intervened, East Liverpool service safety director Brian Allen had told CNN.
Acord pleaded no contest to operating a vehicle while impaired and endangering a child. He was sentenced last week to 360 days in jail, had his driver's license suspended for three years and was fined $475.
The city of East Liverpool said it released the photos of the pair to raise awareness about the perils of heroin.
"This child can't speak for himself but we are hopeful his story can convince another user to think twice about injecting this poison while having a child in their custody," the Facebook post read. | <urn:uuid:19898e9b-074d-4e35-8d4e-b62be62aca06> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://fox8.com/news/grandmother-in-viral-heroin-photo-to-appear-in-court/ | 2020-09-29T04:28:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.985681 | 429 |
Sezzle is a payment method that increases sales and order volumes by enabling shoppers to "Buy Now, Pay Later" with simple, interest-free installment plans. We break down the total cost of an order into smaller, more manageable installments - most commonly, 4 equal payments, each two weeks apart.

Every morning I collect the empty bottles first, careful not to let them clink, careful not to wake him. I’d left a pitcher of coffee by the front door. I gather half-empty cups around it, tiptoe in the kitchen, and pour coffee over the glasses in the dishwasher before setting the cups inside. Black blood splashes over dirty plates in the bottom rack and my heart races. It looks like a crime scene. It’s my favorite part of the night. Then I close the door, it latches – and the chaos is erased.
If he ever found out, he’d kill me. | <urn:uuid:0ae9819b-fe07-42a3-a568-5a61ab81f90a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://heyalexperez.com/2019/02/05/coffee/ | 2020-09-29T03:12:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.922874 | 133 |

Everyone loves a good Saidi, whether you incorporate a cane or not. Continuing on from my basic Saidi steps tutorial, I’m sharing some more advanced steps and combinations with you. If you’re a seasoned dancer then this may not be for you. But if you’re still relatively new to the style, or if you’re planning to teach it, then this can add variety and perhaps inspire other Saidi combinations that you may be doing.
Check out my Basic Saidi post for background information and a video breaking down the key basics.
Today’s video is all about creating ‘easy’ combinations using the basics as well as more advanced steps such as the Rik and the Hagalla. You can view tutorials for both those moves on my YouTube channel here.
Depending on the styling of your Saidi, it should generally be fun and fabulous. Maybe also fierce, but that’s down to personal preference and choice of music. But less is defiantly more when it comes to folkloric styles like this, so keep it simple and sassy.
I hope the video will help you, either in your own dancing or your teaching. Please feel free to leave me a comment below, so I know how you’re getting on, or if you’d like to share your own experiences of learning or teaching Saidi.
Let’s keep the knowledge sharing going, and encourage beautiful and safe dancing.
Happy dancing 🙂

January 23rd 2019
Today I took my first post-work trip to the driving range. It’s something I’ve been planning to do for a while. I always keep my golf clubs in the back of my car (Actually no I don’t please don’t rob me) so that I’m prepared for an impromptu practice session, if the opportunity ever presents itself, and though it often does, I rarely agree to it.
Mainly because it means leaving work at six, getting to the range for seven, and not getting home until 8:30 ish. But it’s scheduled into my new life calendar that I spend an evening a week at the driving range. Though I might have to change that to once a fortnight because it turns out the driving range is expensive these days.
£7.50 for 120 balls is a lot. Especially with the speed at which I go through them. Though tonight I did try to take my time a bit more, and actually analyse what I was doing, and what I was doing wrong with each shot.
The great fault in my golf game at the moment is in my chipping and pitching, so all 120 of my shots tonight were with wedges as I work to rectify that.
It’s weird, or perhaps it’s not weird at all, but I find the longer shots easier than the shorter shots. I apparently do not have the required finesse and delicacy (delicateness?) for the shorter part of the game, so that’s what I aimed to fix today with some floodlit target practice. It went pretty well, actually, insofar as I hit a lot of targets, and got a lot of practice.
Until tomorrow, now I just need to take that practice onto the course. | <urn:uuid:0787720f-8ab7-4478-b868-cbc0bba864df> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://jacn.co.uk/2019/01/23/wedge/ | 2020-09-29T03:55:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.973899 | 377 |
Over the past few years, as our family has grown and our kids have gotten bigger, our grocery budget has become a source of stress for me. We went from spending $100 a week to barely making $200 a week stretch far enough, and I found myself skimping constantly—using less meat, buying fewer snacks, running out of produce.
It took me forever to try Aldi because it’s so different from what we’re used to. It’s a tiny store with maybe two brands of each item to choose from…if you’re lucky. And I just didn’t want to have to make multiple stops to get my groceries each week.
But last year I decided to give it a chance, and after a few weeks, I was hooked!
These days we make a big Aldi run every two weeks, filling two big carts full of food until our fridge and pantry are overflowing…and we rarely spend more than $300. I buy way more snacks, way more produce, and splurge way more often (like crab cakes for an at-home date night or a hyacinth for the kitchen) and still don’t break the budget.
I’ve gotten good at quickly working my way through the store, grabbing what we need, and making a short “extras” list for Walmart with what I can’t find.
That list includes things like light olive oil (although when I do find this at Aldi, I stock up!), certain cuts of red meat, and various spices and specialty items that they don’t carry. It also includes a relatively short list of items where we have brand preferences—hotdogs, chicken, mayonnaise for the family, and lunch meat and bread for my husband.
It took me several months to get really familiar with what Aldi does and doesn’t carry, but now that I am, I find that I can get the bulk of my list there. And we could certainly make do with only the items they carry if I planned accordingly!
On the other hand, there are things we now buy that I would never buy even at Walmart because the prices are just too high—things like the aforementioned crab cakes, naan bread for individual pizzas, prosciutto, and yogurt cups.
Even though I’ve been singing Aldi’s praises for a year now, I am still amazed by the prices and how much food I can get every single time I go. It’s an incredible feeling to be able to fill your fridge and pantry with good food without stressing about the budget, and it’s not a blessing I take for granted!
Look at those tiny boys last year! <3
My top tips for shopping at Aldi
As I mentioned, the Aldi shopping experience is much different than a traditional grocery store. That can be overwhelming at first, but I’ve come to enjoy the differences.
Here’s what you need to know before you go:
1. Bring a quarter. One of the first things you’ll notice at Aldi is the only way to get a cart is to insert a quarter into the handle and unlock it. You’ll get your quarter back when you put the cart away, which is incredibly effective at keeping the parking lot clean and avoiding the need for an extra employee to chase them down. I try to always have a quarter in my wallet, but when I do forget, I just run in and a cashier changes a dollar (or smaller coins) for me.
2. Be prepared to bag your own groceries. Another huge difference is that the cashier does not bag your groceries for you. (Another way that they limit the number of employees needed in each store so they can keep prices down.) Instead, they’ll scan your groceries and load them back into a cart at the end of the lane. You leave your original cart with the cashier and push the one they’ve filled to the store counter to bag your groceries. Aldi brand grocery bags are awesome, and at pennies each, I buy them when I need them and just reuse them again and again.
3. Aldi now accepts credit cards. For a long time, Aldi only accepted cash or debit cards, but they now accept credit cards as well so you’re able to choose your payment method for essentials as well as guilty pleasures.
4. Make a list, but know that you won’t find everything you need. If I’m not sure whether Aldi contains a specific item I’m looking for, I’ll add it to my list anyway. When I’m done, I move over any items I didn’t find to my Walmart shopping list.
5. Always stock up on the things that are on special buy. Okay, this is true at any store, but the Aldi sale prices are SO good that I really make this a habit now. I’ve seen eggs as low as $0.29/dozen (with a limit of 6 per shopper), grapes for $0.99/bag, etc. I stock up on pantry items when they’re on sale, but my kids also know that we’ll buy extra of whatever produce is on sale each week in addition to the items that are on our list.
6. Their take & bake pizzas are perfect for after a big haul. By the time we shop for and bag two weeks’ worth of food and then come home and put it all away, I’m flat out exhausted, so we usually pick up one or two of their take & bake pizzas for dinner. They’re inexpensive ($4.49-$4.99 for five-cheese!), big, and delicious!

And what I bought at Walmart…
When I decided to photograph and record everything we bought last week, my plan was to shop at Walmart two days later and record that list for you as well. Unfortunately, we ended up being hit hard with the stomach flu, and we didn’t leave the house for nine days. That also means that we ate much differently while we were sick (we all craved toast and fruit, along with simple foods like eggs), and so yesterday at Walmart I had to pick up a few of our staples as well. It’s not quite a typical list, but for the sake of transparency, here’s what I bought at Walmart in addition to the Aldi list above:
- 2 loaves of wheat bread, $2.88 each
- 1 loaf of white bread, $2.23
- 2 cans coconut milk, $1.36 each
- almond flour, $10.72
- coconut flour, $3.28
- Hillshire Farm ultra-thin honey ham, $2.97
- Oscar Mayer Selects turkey hotdogs, $2.98

- 7.36 lbs bananas, $3.61
- 4.33 lbs pears, $6.37
- broccoli crown, $0.69
- 6 Silk dairy-free yogurts, $1.28 each
- 3 doz. eggs, $3.46
*I had to calculate this manually because we bought non-food items, so don’t hold me to the exact total!
P.S. Want to learn more about how I plan & shop for 2 weeks’ worth of food at a time? I’m planning a special webinar to show you exactly how I do it. | <urn:uuid:c7fbdd97-1847-4c3c-a560-828632f171eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lifeyourway.net/aldi-saving-grocery-budget-294-76-2-weeks-food-8-people/ | 2020-09-29T04:13:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.922857 | 2,759 |
My guest today is Kristin J. Russo, author of over 20 nonfiction books for young readers, including titles in Capstone’s Facts and Fibs and What You Didn’t Know About Military Life series, and Cherry Lake’s Viewpoints & Perspectives library. A fun and energetic presenter, Kristin has taught writing and rehetoric at the university level for nearly ten years. An experienced editor, copy editor, indexer, and proofreader, she is also a dog lover, a surprising good tap dancer, and a terrible cook.
Today she’s here to talk about her latest books in Full Tilt’s Iron Will survival series, Surviving the Storm, Surviving the Ice, Surviving the Cave, and Surviving in Space, and her Capstone Edge book: Survival, Facts or Fibs. These are books that I would have loved as a kid, packed with real life adventures. Loaded with great survival tips, they empower kids to face the challenges of our changing world. (As I write this in the midst of the CORVID 19 crisis they seem more pertinent than ever.)
Welcome, Kristin, so glad to have you! Can you tell us about how this new series came about?
Hello Linda! Thank you for having me. I am delighted to be here.
I am a work-for-hire author and work mostly with editors who already have projects in mind and need a writer who can produce them fairly quickly. An editor reached out to me in August 2018 asking if I could write this series and have it completed by the end of October 2018. I said yes. With a few bumps in the road, as is the way of things, the entire writing and editing process was completed by spring 2019 and the books were on the shelves in September 2019.
This is often how work-for-hire projects go—very quickly and accomplished on very tight deadlines. It was a whirlwind, but I really loved the whole process of writing these books!
How do you go about researching books like these? Did you have any of your own adventures along the way?
I’ve traveled widely and had some fun adventures prior to becoming an author that have helped me bring nonfiction stories to life. Years ago, I explored a bat cave in Morocco, and I’ve visited several cave systems in the U.S., such as Howe Caverns in New York and Indian Echo Caverns in Pennsylvania. I drew upon those experiences to write about cave disasters in Surviving the Cave.
What’s fun for me is that though the nonfiction books I’ve written are technically about specific topics and include historical and scientific facts, in the end, they’re really about people and how humans can accomplish amazing feats in unimaginable circumstances. So, these science and history books are in many ways biographies, which I love to read and really love to write.
What surprising or fun facts did you unearth in your research?
When it comes to research, I’m lucky that as an adjunct professor of English and Composition, I have access to a university library that subscribes to a number of academic databases, so I can trust that my sources are solid primary sources or peer-reviewed and vetted secondary sources. For some events that are too recent to have scholarly work available—the Thai soccer team cave disaster, for example—I use up-to-date, trustworthy news sources and online interviews.
One discovery that was very powerful for me was realizing how supportive the families of the Thai cave disaster victims were of one another, and the strength of the bond they shared. There were 12 boys trapped in the cave, plus their coach, who was rescued last. When they started, the rescuers did not believe that they would have a 100 percent success rate, but they undertook the challenge anyway and hoped for the best. The boys were freed from the cave one at a time, and each rescue took eight hours. After days of gripping suspense, the rescue was a complete success after all!
As each boy emerged, he was brought to a nearby hospital. You’d think that the families would have been so flooded with relief that they would have clung to their sons and gone with them to the hospital. But no, that is not what happened. All the families remained together at the cave site until the last boy was out. Then they went to the hospital together as a group. I am deeply moved by this. It wasn’t widely reported, and in fact there was no room for it to be mentioned in my book, but it’s a powerful thing and I’m glad that I know it.
Wow, that is an incredibly powerful story. Has what you've learned through your writing made you look at life differently?
In the Iron Will series, I wrote about people who found themselves in scary situations, but through their own tenacity, endurance, and ingenuity, found a way to survive. None of the stories are the same, yet they all touch on the same theme—that our strong survival instinct comes with an indomitable spirit.
That is holding me in good stead right now, as I watch events related to the global pandemic unfold. We humans are capable of great strength and great courage and great hope. I know,
You’ve talked to me about “finding your people.” What does that mean for you and how did you go about it?
As an English major and later a teacher, I came to realize that many of the authors whose works I loved to read actually knew each other in real life. Edgar Allan Poe was friendly with Charles Dickens, who had a pet raven named Grip. Nathaniel Hawthorne lived next door to Louisa May Alcott, who lived down the street from Ralph Waldo Emerson, who had a gardener named Henry David Thoreau. And so it occurred to me that if I wanted to find my place in children’s publishing, I would have reach out and look for a group of people who shared my passion for learning and reading and sharing and teaching. I would need to find my people.
To that end, I joined a few select professional groups, including the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and the Writers’ Loft in Sherborne, MA. I’m so glad I did! All of my opportunities as a writer and editor in children’s publishing have come from my association with the amazing people I have met in these groups. We all have so much in common! I am so very glad that I’ve found “my people” and that they have welcomed me. I cherish the many great friendships I’ve made in the kidlit community through the years.
What do hope young readers take away from your books?
I’ve written about Ada Blackjack, who, 100 years ago, survived being stranded alone without adequate supplies on an island in the Arctic Circle. I’ve written about survivors of the Dust Bowl, the sinking of the Titanic, the attack on Pearl Harbor, equipment malfunctions in outer space, Hurricane Katrina, and more.
I’ve written about people who were afraid, who felt lost and uncertain, and who experienced crippling self-doubt. I want my readers to know that that’s okay. That is going to happen. It’s part of the human experience. From my books, I hope my readers learn that it’s possible to harness their own courage, ingenuity, and indomitable spirits, and that they do have the strength to overcome the challenges they will face in their own lives.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Hello readers! I see you! Thank you for sharing your time with me here on Linda’s blog. I think you’re all brave, and strong, and wonderful. I’m sorry that we’re facing such challenges at this time, but thanks to Linda, I’ve found you and you’ve found me. We’ve found our people. Let’s get through these challenging times together.

Social media marketing, also referred to as “e-marketing” or “digital marketing,” is a marketing strategy that utilizes social media-based platforms like social networks and social media websites. This type of marketing has become an integral part of a holistic marketing campaign as this enables companies to reach a much larger audience with significantly less effort than making use of traditional marketing strategies. You don’t have to be an accountant to understand that the costs of digital social marketing is also much less.
To have a better understanding of exactly how powerful the social media marketing tool can be, it’s important to have the right strategy in place.
Because social media marketing allows you to reach out to a much larger audience, you need to take into account that you won’t be creating content for a single social media platform. There are numerous social media applications and websites to consider and you need to understand that the content that you will be creating needs to be tailored to the context of each different type of platform.
Creating the right type of content means doing research on which market segment produces web traffic on which platform. By understanding this, you can custom create the most relevant content in the most effective medium for each platform, ranging from photographic content to videos or text-heavy content. There is a right formula for each social network.
Another aspect of this type of marketing campaign that needs to be considered, is the way in which your target market will be able to interact with the content that you create. The ideal is to create content that individual users would want to share with their friends, family, or co-workers. By placing this type of content, you are effectively getting social media users to do the marketing for you. The impact is also much greater when the message is received by a friend instead of directly from the marketer, as it creates a greater sense of trust and authenticity.
While there are a lot of benefits to this type of marketing strategy, you should always be mindful that individuals have a voice of their own and are also capable of launching their own impromptu “marketing campaigns.” Negative publicity now also travels much faster. For example, a user could post negative reviews about a company. These types of reviews should be addressed and handled truthfully. An upside to this is that it can be handled well in full view of the public eye and putting a positive spin on potentially negative marketing.
This leads to the last section of this article. Social media marketing allows companies to track the success of their campaigns by making use of tools that allow for this.

The news that Chargers nose tackle Jamal Williams was placed on injured reserve caught the NFL off guard on Saturday. Williams had been listed on the injury report as questionable with an elbow injury.
As it turned out, he has a torn triceps.
And as one league source explained it to us Saturday night, a torn triceps requires surgery — and the recovery time is typically 12-16 weeks.
The source also pointed out that the delayed announcement of the injury shouldn’t be regarded as an effort by the Chargers to dupe the Ravens into spending the week preparing a game plan premised on Williams being available. Sometimes, the extent of the injury isn’t immediately apparent. Also, there’s a chance that Williams suffered further injury while practicing on Thursday.
Either way, the Chargers are now in big trouble. In a 3-4 defense, the nose tackle is one of the most important players. And with Travis Johnson (a 4-3 defensive tackle in Houston who is listed as both an end and a tackle in San Diego) out for today’s game, the Chargers will have to rely on Ogemdi Nwagbuo, who joined the team in 2008 as an undrafted free agent from Michigan State.
Nwagbuo, a 6’4″, 303-pounder, had three tackles and a sack on Monday night against the Raiders.
Maybe Nwagbuo can get it done. Regardless, he’s suddenly one of the most important players on the team. | <urn:uuid:3c7d6340-3f56-436a-80c2-7a7609ec7fcc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/20/loss-of-jamal-williams-hurts-chargers-badly/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-09-29T04:40:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.970666 | 314 |
build [@command-file] [parameters] target? build-script?
Execute a build with the given parameters.
A build can be configured to run in this process, use a local daemon, or use a remote daemon. The build daemon is only used if either the -daemon flag or the -daemon-address parameter is defined.
File path prefixed with '@' to directly include arguments from the specified file. Each argument is on its separate line. They are directly inserted in place of the @command-file argument. The argument can appear anywhere on the command line. Escaping is not supported for arguments in the command file. The file path may be absolute or relative.
Specifies the working directory for the build execution.
The specified path will be resolved based on the build path configuration. This means that absolute paths will be based against the root directories for the execution, not against the current file system that is executing the process.
Specifies the build directory for the build execution.
In general, most of the outputs of the build will be placed in the specified build directory. The given path can be absolute or relative. Relative paths will be resolved against the specified working directory. Absolute paths are resolved against the build path configuration. (Similar to the working directory.)
Specifies the mirror directory for the build execution.
The mirror directory is a path on the local file system, which is used when files need to be present on the file system. This can be the case when some tasks need to invoke external processes to execute their work.
If the mirror directory is not specified, the build system will try to use a directory under the build directory. If the build directory doesn't reside on the local file system, no mirror directory will be used by default.
The specified path must be absolute and will be resolved against the local file system (that is the file system of the build machine). (Unlike the working directory.)
Mounts a given directory for the build execution.
The mounted directory will be added to the build execution, and it will be available for the tasks as a root directory for files.
The arguments for this parameter is in the following format:
In which case the the "/absolute/path/to/directory" on the connection "name" will be mounted as the root directory "mounted:".
For Windows file system paths the path can be specified as:
Where "name" is the connection name and "c:" is the drive letter for the absolute path.
The "name:/" part can be omitted, in which case the remaining part will be interpreted for the local file system.
If the name "local" is specified, the remaining absolute path is interpreted for the local file system. If the name "remote" is specified, the remaining absolute path is interpreted for the file system of the daemon (if any) that is running the build. If the name "pwd" is specified, the remaining absolute path names are interpreted against the process working directory.
Can be used multiple times to mount multiple directories.
Species user parameters for the build execution.
User parameters are arbitrary key-value pairs which can be used to dynamically configure different aspects of the build system. This is usually applicable for configuring repositories or specific tasks you're executing.
Can be used multiple times to define multiple entries.
Flag to specify that the saker.nest repository shouldn't be automatically included for the build.
The saker.nest repository is the default repository associated with the build system. Specify this flag to disable its automatic inclusion.
Starts a repository configuration with a given classpath.
The classpath may be an HTTP URL by starting it with the 'http://' or 'https://' phrases. It can also be a file path in the format specified by -mount. The paths are resolved against the path configuration of the build.
It can also be in the format of 'nest:/version/<version-number>' where the <version-number> is the version of the saker.nest repository you want to use. The <version-number> can also be 'latest' in which case the most recent known saker.nest nest repository release is used.
Any following -repository parameters will modify this configuration.
Specifies the name of the repository class for the previously started repository configuration.
The class should be an instance of saker.build.runtime.repository.SakerRepositoryFactory.
If not specified, the service configuration of the classpath will be used to load the repository. See the ServiceLoader Java class for more information.
Specifies the identifier of the repository for the previously started repository configuration.
The repository identifier should be unique for each repository and they can be used to differentiate them in appropriate contexts.
E.g. when invoking tasks, the @repositoryid syntax can be used to specify where to look for the task implementation.
Starts a script configuration that applies to the files specified by the parameter wildcard.
Script configurations specify how a given build script should be parsed when used during the build. If the specified wildcard matches the full absolute path of the build script, then it will be used to parse the script.
Scripts configurations allow different languages to be used and enable configuring custom options for them.
Any following -script and -SO parameters will modify this configuration.
Specifies the classpath of the script parser for the previously started script configuration.
The classpath is in the same format as in -repository parameter.
Specifies the class name of the script parser for the previously started script configuration.
The class should be an instance of saker.build.scripting.ScriptAccessProvider.
If not specified, the service configuration of the classpath will be used to load the parser. See the ServiceLoader Java class for more information.
Specifies a script option for the previously started script configuration.
Script options are string key-value pairs that are interpreted by the script parser in an implementation dependent way.
See the documentation of the associated scripting language to see what kind of options they accept.
Specifies the file content change detection mechanism for the build database.
The specified mechanism will be used to determine if the contents of a given file has been changed between build executions. Accepted values are the following: attr The file attributes and size will be used to compare the state of the file. This is the default value for the build system. md5 The contents of the files will be hashed using MD5, and the hash will be compared to the previous state of the file.
This parameter specifies the mechanism for the files which have not been matched by any of the wildcards specified using -dbconfig-path.
To specify a mechanism for all files, use this parameter, and don't specify anything for -dbconfig-path.
Specifies the file content change detection mechanism for the build database for the files matched by the given wildcard.
The <type> argument accepts the same values as -dbconfig-fallback.
The <wildcard> applies to all files that is accesible through the given connection.
The <connection-name> parameter is interpreted in the same way as in name part of -mount parameter paths.
Specifies a daemon connection that should be used as a cluster for the build.
This parameter adds connection specified by the given name as cluster to the build execution. Clusters can be used to execute a build over multiple computers by delegating tasks to it.
Note, that only those tasks can be delegated to clusters which actually support this feature.
Connections can be specified using the -connect parameter.
This parameter can be specified multiple times. Specifying a connection multiple times as a cluster has no additional effects.
Flag to specify to use the connected clients of the used daemon as clusters.
If the daemon that is used for build execution has other clients connected to it, then they will be used as clusters for this build execution.
The default is false.
Specifies a connection to a given address and identifies it by the specified name.
A connection will be established to the build system daemon running at the given address. The connection can be used to add file systems to the build, run the build itself on that daemon, or others.
The established connection can be referenced by its name in other parameters. The names for the connections must be unique, only one connection can be specified for a given name.
This parameter can be specified multiple times.
Connection names which represent well known URL protocols or identifiers, may be reserved and an exception will be thrown. Such names are:
local, remote, http, https, file, jar, ftp and others... (The list of names may change incompatibly in the future.)
If you encounter incompatibility, simply choose a different name for your connection.
The default port for the addresses is 3500.
Flag for specifying if a daemon should be used for build execution.
If this flag is specified, a daemon on the local machine will be used for the execution of the build. If the daemon is not running, it will be started with the properties specified by other -daemon parameters.
If a daemon is already running, then that will be used if the configuration of it is acceptable. If there is a configuration mismatch between the expected and actual configurations, an exception will be thrown.
If -daemon-address is also specified, this flag specifies that a daemon process on the local machine can be started if necessary. The -daemon parameters will be used when starting the new daemon.
Specifies the address of the daemon that should be used for build execution.
The default port for the address is 3500.
If this parameter is specified, a local daemon will only be instantiated if required and the -daemon flag is specified.
Specifying a loopback or local address is the same as specifying the -daemon flag.
See -daemon parameter flag.
Specifies the port on which the daemon should listen for incoming connections.
If the port is 0, it will be assigned by the operating system, therefore it may be random.
If not specified, the default port of 3500 will be used.
Specifies the storage directory that the build environment can use to store its files and various data.
Note that only a single daemon can be running in a given storage directory.
Flag that specifies whether or not the daemon should act as a server. A server daemon can accept incoming connections from any network addresses. A non-server daemon can only accept connections from the localhost.
Flag that specifies if the daemon can be used as a cluster for build executions.
By default, daemons may not be used as clusters, only if this flag is specified. Clusters can improve the performance of build executions by enabling distributing various tasks over a network of build machines.
Specifies the mirror directory when the daemon is used as a cluster.
The cluster mirror directory is used by executed tasks to cache and use files on the local file system. As many tasks may require the files to be present on the local file system for invoking external processes on it, it is strongly recommended to have a mirror directory for clusters.
Specifying this is not required, but strongly recommended. The directory can be any directory on the local file system. If you specify this flag, the daemon takes ownership of the contents in the directory, and may delete files in it.
Specifies an environment user parameter for the build environment.
The build environment will be constructed with the specified user parameters. The user parameters may be arbitrary key-value pairs that can be used to configure different aspects of the build environment. They are usually used to specify the properties of the machine the environment is running on. E.g. tooling install locations, version informations, etc...
Can be used multiple times to define multiple entries.
Sets the thread factor for the build environment.
The thread factor is a hint for the build environment to set the recommended number of threads when dealing with multi-threaded worker threads.
If unspecified, 0, or negative, the thread factor will be determined in an implementation dependent manner. (Usually based on the number of cores the CPU has.)
Specifies the location of the build system runtime.
The build system requires its distribution JAR for proper operation, as it may be necessary for some tasks to start new processes to do their work.
Under normal circumstances the build system can locate the appropriate JAR location based on the classpath of the current process. If it fails, an exception will be thrown and you might need to specify this if required.
The path will be resolved against the local file system, relative paths are resolved against the working directory of the process.
(If you ever encounter a bug in automatic resolution, please file an issue at https://github.com/sakerbuild/saker.build/issues)
Flag for specifying that the build execution should not use any caching for keeping the project-related data in memory.
When this flag is not used and the build is executed via a build daemon, some project related data will be cached for some amount of time for faster incremental builds. Specifying this flag will turn that off and the build will not use cached information for its execution.
Specifies the format of the stack trace that is printed in case of build failure.
Possible values are:
- Every stack trace element and script trace will be printed.
- Some internal stack traces will be removed, but the number of removed frames will be included in the stack trace.
- Interal stack traces are removed, and no indicator of such removal is displayed on the printed information.
- Only script traces are displayed for the exceptions. No Java stack traces are displayed.
- Only Java stack traces are displayed for the exceptions. No build script traces are displayed.
Flag for specifying to run in interactive mode.
Interactive mode entails that the build tasks may read input from the console. It usually means that a developer actively monitors the build.
This can be used for local builds and is not recommended for builds running on a Continuous Integration server or where the developer has no opportunity to provide manual input.
Sets the output path of the build trace for the build execution.
The path is expected to be in the same format as in the -mount parameter.
The build trace can be viewed in a browser, by navigating to: https://saker.build/buildtrace and opening it on the page. (The build trace can be viewed offline, it won't be transferred to our servers.)
Instructs the build trace to embed the output build artifacts in the created build trace file.
If this flag is specified, the build artifacts that the build tasks produce will be embedded in the build trace. They can be downloaded directly from the build trace view.
The build target to execute.
If not specified then defaults to the following:
- If there is only one target in the build file then that one is invoked.
- The target with the name "build" is invoked if exists.
- An exception is thrown otherwise.
The build script file to invoke the target of.
Defaults to the script with the name "saker.build" in the working directory. If that one doesn't exist, then a build script is selected only if there is only one build script in the working directory. An exception is thrown if a build script file is not found. | <urn:uuid:12e6d7b8-6df1-4fa3-90ec-45ccce5242c3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://saker.build/saker.build/doc/guide/cmdlineref/build.html | 2020-09-29T04:24:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.81596 | 3,219 |
CBC Style: We combed through the CBC archives to find inspiration for this backpack. Made of 100% cotton twill with durable canvas handles and adjustable straps. A large pocket is located on the front along with two side pockets.
Dimensions: 13″ h x 11″w x 5.5″ d Pocket Dimensions: 6.5″ h x 8 w x 1″ d
RCAF Style: The RCAF heritage collection was designed in honour of the men and women who served — and who serve today — in the Royal Canadian Air Force. When the RCAF first started in 1924, they focused on civil air missions: forestry patrols, land surveys and anti-smuggling efforts. During WWII they peaked as one of the largest air forces in the world. A portion from the sale of RCAF products goes to support veterans.
In 1999 Red Canoe was conceived in a bush plane over the pristine wilderness of Northern Ontario. The imagery, romance and heritage of travel by bush plan represents a tradition of the Canadian pioneers who pushed the limits of possibility in the face of all the adversity our rugged landscape could muster.
Sudbury Ontario native Dax Wilkinson grew up with these flight experiences and decided to create a product line inspired by Canadian icons with great stories like the bush plane--the tool by which much of the Canadian landscape had been made accessible. A Red Canoe could be thought of as the precursor to flight and the ultimate symbol of pure, simple, idyllic, rugged, hardworking Canadian lifestyle. And so the company name was born.
Red Canoe next delved further into Canadian stories and worked to include icons like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), CP Railway and many others. We share their histories and find ways to support and preserve their respective traditions and legacies.
A portion of proceeds on RCAF design items goes to support RCAF Veterans and Canadian DND aviation related initiatives. | <urn:uuid:8b8b4a1c-b8d5-4ca2-b1d0-3fba543edcb5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://shopconcessionroad.com/products/red-canoe-brand-backpacks | 2020-09-29T05:22:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.960916 | 410 |
To start off I’m obviously new here and might come off rather amateurish, even childish, to the ‘well-read’ and ‘well blogged’ eye. I believe an introduction of myself is necessary although it kind of feels like I’m talking to a brick wall here, having no followers. The name’s Quao, Eugene Quao. First off, I have to warn you I sometimes black out when I’m in the middle of things, and people tell me afterwards I kept on functioning on a more normal and likeable level than I usually do, which is frankly hurtful. They mention I refer to myself as Sam Brown which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me. To begin, I come off a rather eccentric dull dud who seems disinterested in just about everything happening around me. I’ve come to realise putting on that demeanour makes people think I’m rather anti-social and stuck up and prompts them to leave me alone. I won’t deny being anti-social – I enjoy spending time alone indoors staring at my computer’s screen than mingling with the outsiders (a term I use to reference the remaining fraction of society who may or may not be more normal than I am) and even love being away from my family, as they don’t get my need for privacy and peace of mind as much as I wished. I admit; I AM guilty of being weird and self-conceited sometimes and can be rather annoying without even trying (couple weeks ago I managed to tick off a judge who threatened to throw me in jail. I might even have to flee if said judge reads this……no, seriously.) I love friends. Not actual people I mean the show with Chandler, Monica, Joey, Ross, Rachel and Phoebe and usually watch at least 5 episodes a week although I’ll admit I think Seinfeld is a better show. Eerr I seem to be losing my train of thought here please hold while I ermm…..
Hello, Samantha here, you can call me Sam. I’m Eugene’s conscience here to tell you who he really is instead of all that crap he’s been telling you so far. You’ll notice it’s me by my use of the third person to reference him. I take over his thoughts more often than he’s aware of to save us all from shame and embarrassment. You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve had to do that if I told you. Hold on, lemme see what he’s been telling you about him. ‘I come off a rather dull eccentric dud….” Wait, did any of you buy that? I mean he introduced himself using the James Bond style. “The name’s Quao, Eugene Quao?” My word what a prick. I can’t stand the guy. He is the most over the top character you could meet. He exaggerates everything. EVERYTHING!! You have no idea how horrible it is sharing a brain with this sod. He is very very stupid to confess. For instance, he likes to pretend he knows V’s introductory speech from V from Vendetta and can recite it off the top of his head, but secretly he has a screenshot of the speech and copies and pastes parts of it in conversations to sound intelligent. Sometimes I want to materialize and slap the living daylight out of his face just to keep him quiet. I see he conveniently left out the part about the judge he ticked off being his sister. I’ll let him do that explanation when he decides. He’s right about referring to everybody else as the outsiders though the more appropriate term he frequently uses is humans. Yes, he calls others humans in his head (Now you know exactly what I’m dealing with here). To be fair, he was quite bright at best as a kid (as were a million other children). Those were our best years. I loved being with him then. His transition from bright with a good future to unspoken “flop” is rather expected – sort of like what happens with all the actresses who troop to Los Angeles with big dreams, only to end up pushed out the other end of the porn industry. Hold on a minute. How many followers does he have? Zero. Shocking. It could be that no one’s reading this. This is absolutely not surprising at all. Oh, wait he’s coming around. I have to scram. Until next time. And don’t worry he cannot see any of what I type. It appears as a dull uninteresting part of his essay to him. Hehe (No that wasn’t mischievous enough) MUAHAHAHAHA (Nailed it). This should be fun. Now be cool or he might get unto us.
Hey there. Where was I? Oh yeah, the introduction. I am a very thorough person. I’ll take time to proofread this painfully and won’t post this unless every word typed has been vetted by me.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY?!!
I think this has been a rather verbose introduction enough. I look forward to this. Hopefully this is the start of something exciting. Cheers everyone. | <urn:uuid:e5a1df67-6d7f-42ed-bfff-a348151b364a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sliceofquao.wordpress.com/2017/11/23/welcome/ | 2020-09-29T04:14:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.973725 | 1,113 |

The Grimm’s Coral Reef Stacker is a beautiful wooden coral reef stacking toy which is stained in pastel colours. It is a really versatile toy that can be played with in various ways as your children grow. Tiny tots will enjoy stacking the seven pieces on top of each other but will go on to make underwater worlds, dolls’ houses, train and car tunnels from them, as well as combining them with other blocks to make fantastic structures. This is a great wooden toy and playing with it will help to develop your child’s motor skills, spatial thinking and problem-solving abilities.
The seven solid pieces are made from sustainable FSC wood and finished with child-friendly, non-toxic, water-based stain in pastel colours – a natural finish that allows the beautiful grain of the wood to shine through. | <urn:uuid:c95a243b-5df6-4431-86f4-c31d9e8a906b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thebendybeanstalk.com/products/grimms-coral-reef-stacker | 2020-09-29T04:13:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.96355 | 171 |
FMLYBND – Forever:
Something sweet sounding is filling the air with carefree vibes and poppy tones. These deliciously fresh sounds are the product of six piece California natives FMLYBND. Based out of Isla Vista, the band already has a solid foundation of support for their music – all of their family and friends. It truly is nice to see a band hold such regard for family values intrinsically, and to still be able to make such damn good music.
Their latest single Forever is an anthem of youthful vigor. Completely jam packed full of energy at times, yet never seems to be overwhelming or chaotic. Perhaps the song is best fit for a sunny day adventure where the only restrictions are the shoes on your feet and the friends you bring along to share the moment. Being more than just a run-of-the-mill track, Forever is the pure bliss of happy days passed and all the amazing memories that are still to come.
WARNING! Listening to Electricity will cause rapid spasms of rhythmic movement in your legs. Not only that but your brain will be fried by the overwhelming catchiness of that synth hook. So good luck accomplishing anything productive when all you want to do is whistle that damn synth! I’m serious when I say Electricity is criminally good and we should hold FMLYBND accountable for their actions. When they make music this good you are left with simply no choice but to buy their debut Gold EP, which will see a release next week on the 27th of September. I cannot wait to abuse my brain by exposing it to such infectious tunes.

Inversion – Immersion is an amazing timelapse by Andrew Studer that was shot within one day at Portland.
As he says at Vimeo:
One week ago, I went up to Portland to photograph sunset. Little did I know that once the sun would go down, an inversion would take place and waves of thick fog would come in and cover the city. Shot entirely in one day, “Inversion Immersion” takes a look at what Portland looked like when this relatively rare event took place, through the art of timelapse.

“The cutting of a branch here could trigger a war,” said Andrea Tenenti of UNIFIL.
By Josh Plank, World Israel News
Deep-rooted tensions increase along the Israel-Lebanon border as trees planted by Lebanon to obscure Israel’s view continue to grow.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that the United Nations is trying to broker a deal between the two sides to prevent the dispute from turning into another deadly conflict.
“The cutting of a branch here could trigger a war,” said Andrea Tenenti, spokesman for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
Across the border from the Israeli town of Metula, the Lebanese village of Kfar Kila worked with the organization Green Without Borders to plant trees on the Israeli side of the UN’s Blue Line near the Israeli security wall.
According to Israeli and UN officials, Israel gave Lebanon permission to plant trees on its side of the Blue Line with the understanding that the trees would not block Israel’s surveillance cameras. However, Lebanon planted tall trees that quickly began to obstruct the view.
“That is our land, and the Blue Line means nothing to us,” said Hassan Sheet, the mayor of Kfar Kila.
Since the trees were planted on the Israeli side of the Blue Line, UNIFIL personnel trimmed them back on April 14, clearing the security cameras’ line of sight along the border.
Israeli officials have long insisted that despite its claim to be an environmental organization, Green Without Borders is nothing more than a Hezbollah front group which allows the terror organization to operate in southern Lebanon in violation of UN resolution 1701.
Tree cover created by Green Without Borders was used by Hezbollah on September 1, 2019, when the organization fired anti-tank missiles at Israeli forces.
A deadly clash broke out on August 3, 2010, when the Lebanese army opened fire on Israeli forces pruning trees on the Israeli side of the Blue Line, killing Lt. Col. Dov Harari. Israeli forces returned fire, killing three Lebanese. | <urn:uuid:018db954-c4e3-4dd3-9a4e-5aab20ca3d70> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://worldisraelnews.com/trees-and-tensions-grow-on-israel-lebanon-border-where-trimming-could-trigger-war/ | 2020-09-29T03:44:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.952034 | 432 |
"When the percentage reaches the 30s, that means that something has become mass market and it's no longer a niche solution or technology," explained Tim Sheedy, principal analyst and the writer of the "Predictions 2015: Mobile Strategies Will Be Critical To Serving Asia Pacific Customers" report. "This is an important barrier to cross because suddenly organizations have to take smartphones seriously. If you are targeting customers in India and China, you might not have taken smartphones seriously before, but you do have to now."
Comparatively, Forrester predicts that 71% of the North American population will be smartphone subscribers in 2015. In early 2013, Forrester reported that North American smartphone penetration was at 47%.
Both Pew and eMarketer are more conservative with their smartphone user information. Pew reports that as of January 2014, 58% of American adults will have smartphones, while eMarketer predicts that 55.4% of the US population will use smartphones in 2015.
The reasons for the lag in smartphone usage in Asia Pacific are well-known: lower income families are not able to afford the more advanced smartphone devices and there is often a lack of 4G service, with 3G service continuing to be spotty throughout the region, according to Forrester.
However you look at these penetration numbers, it's too difficult to compare the Asia Pacific region to North America when it comes to mobile, Sheedy said. The report highlights the "mobile mind shift" of Asia Pacific consumers, as they often think mobile first, because mobile devices have been their main connection to the Internet. Despite high smartphone penetration in places like Australia and the United States, consumers still look to their laptops or desktops, rather than having a mobile mind shift.
"It is difficult to compare because for many users in Asia, their first ever usage of the Internet was on a feature phone, and you just can't compare it to other markets, except maybe Africa," Sheedy told AdExchanger. "There might be some comparisons between the way Europe grew up around feature phones and text messaging services," but it's just not the same as the US market.
This mobile first mindset is what companies, marketers and CIOs should be focusing on in Asia Pacific, Sheedy said, not necessarily the penetration numbers. This means that in Asia, mobile marketing consists of not just smartphone apps and mobile web experiences, but also text messaging and figuring out how to reach feature phone users.
"In India and China, there is probably a good chance consumers aren't running a top-enterprise device, they are not using a screen with the highest resolution possible," Sheedy said. "Write your app for lower rated processors and lower resolution screens because there's a chance, even if people download your app, that they won't be able to use it."
In the report, Forrester also encourages CIOs and companies to look at creating disconnected apps that draw more from core device capabilities, rather than fast connectivity, to get around the lack of 3G and 4G service in some areas.
"In 2015, less than 5% of most businesses’ marketing spending will go toward the mobile space, despite mobile commanding a higher percentage of customers’ attention," the report said of the Asia Pacific region. If marketers in Asia Pacific want to work on a variety of mobile marketing strategies to reach this diverse mobile audience, that number will need to increase soon.
"Mobile marketing spend isn't that high, but in terms of the percentage of the marketer's mind and if they are thinking about mobile, mobile is the big challenge of 2015," Sheedy said. "In 2015, mobile is that top priority. How do we target customer effectively on mobile platforms and mobile devices? And then in 2016, we'll see that spend really start to take off." | <urn:uuid:0eb921ac-b7e3-45c3-9297-3c1ae9c70ac6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.adexchanger.com/data-nugget/smartphone-penetration-in-asia-to-reach-mass-market-in-2015/ | 2020-09-29T03:30:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.963306 | 777 |
Managing Yourself Through Change
Three self-help rules to successfully manage your life through times of workplace challenges and transition.
Change in the workplace is constant. Even when its scope is limited, workplace change can have a big impact on how we manage our day to day tasks. Yet, there is another constant and arguably more important factor to consider — how we manage ourselves through these changes. Whether we are welcoming a new team member, changing positions, experiencing the stress of missed deadlines, or anything in-between, this type of change is exhilarating and exhausting. While it may be easy to navigate through changes that are exciting, what do you do when change is difficult?
Follow the three simple self-help rules below to help manage yourself when workplace change is difficult.
Educate yourself on the things you do not understand and do not be afraid to ask questions until you are comfortable and have a good understanding of the information you seek. In instances where you cannot ask the questions, arm yourself with as much knowledge through research and other resources as possible.
Know that there will be times when a company and its employees need to “go through a storm.” Understand that these turbulent times will not last forever.
Part of being a change agent is the acceptance that not all changes within the workplace will be popular or viewed as positive by the majority. You must make a conscious choice to move forward and embedding yourself into being part of a positive solution. Even when the solution runs counter to certain expectations, a positive mindset allows you to view situations with a fresh outlook and a constructive perspective.
Ask for help
Asking for help makes you a stronger person. When you reach out to others (your team, your leader, another mentor), you are investing in your greatest asset, YOU. Asking for help will allow you to gain new insights and opinions that can often open new and creative ways of thinking. You know how you feel about workplace changes, but you get a diversity of views from others who may enable you to create a different perspective. A fresh mindset is one of the building blocks to help you cross the bridge over self-doubt or discouragement. Remember the lessons from step one.
Managing your way through workplace change is not always an easy process. By using these three simple rules, your success with handling any type of change increases exponentially. Remember to invest in yourself often and abundantly. | <urn:uuid:043e9496-52b0-4cc9-9f6a-718779836de6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.archway.com/blog/managing-yourself-through-change/ | 2020-09-29T05:15:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.946355 | 488 |

Traditional datacentres have served business well for a long time. But new business models have evolved by capitalising on emerging technology innovations, and the role of the centralised datacentre is now shrinking as workloads are shifted across distributed environments.
The emergence of the decentralised software-defined datacentre, multi-hybrid cloud environment and micro-datacentres has stimulated the rapid proliferation of virtualisation, internet of things (IoT), bring your own device (BYOD) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications for adoption, and optimisation for cost, performance and scale.
IoT technologies and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled applications have progressively evolved, resulting in an unprecedented need for workloads to operate at the edge. In today’s hyper-connected world, the size and location of datacentres built for the future will matter more and more.
As micro-datacentres become popular, fulfilling the demands of decentralised edge computing provides high bandwidth and intensive content. The ability to address the challenges of last-mile connectivity, reliability, low-latency with redundant paths delivering real time-sensitive applications such as robotics, gaming applications, streaming digital content and autonomous vehicles are best suited and processed in edge datacentres combined with cloud computing.
The paradigm of change will invariably require enterprises to rethink the way they architect, design, deploy and manage security networks. They will need to consider strategically aligning organisations’ security posture to the evolving need of their business objectives.
Organisations will also need to consider managing risk given the exponential growth of the attack surface and the evolving threat landscape. Organisations now have data and applications distributed across multiple locations with distributed datacentres, branch locations, work-from-home requirements and multi-hybrid cloud deployments.
To deliver effective security in these evolving distributed environments, here are a few foundational security requirements to consider:
- Secure access service edge (SASE): Existing network technologies and approaches do not provide the security and access control that a distributed architecture requires as organisations demand uninterrupted access to resources that include users, devices, applications, services and data as they are located outside and distributed across environments. SASE is defining a new approach for network security that will shape the way to secure application.Gartner suggests: “The secure access service edge is an emerging offering combining comprehensive WAN capabilities with comprehensive network security functions (such as SWG, CASB, FWaaS and ZTNA) to support the dynamic secure access needs of digital enterprises.” It adds: “SASE capabilities are delivered as a service based on the identity of the entity, real-time context, enterprise security/compliance policies, and continuous assessment of risk/trust throughout the sessions. Identities of entities can be associated with people, groups of people (branch offices), devices, applications, services, IoT systems or edge computing locations.”
- Enforcing least privilege and access control: Given the exponential growth of the threat landscape and as attacks can trigger both externally and internally, role-based access control provides access to applications based on the user profile and security privileges assigned to the user profile. Implementation of identity access management and privilege access management is an effective means to combat threats in a distributed environment.
- Micro-segmentation: In a distributed environment, the cornerstone of a network security strategy is about implementing micro-segmentation across the network to provide consistent security across datacentres at varied locations and hybrid cloud platforms. Micro-segmentation provides granular security across the distributed environment to inspect all traffic, including all applications, threats and content. Micro-segmentation can facilitate support to control traffic flows between every workload and provide visibility to the east-west traffic, and system administrators can create policies that limit network traffic between workloads based on a zero-trust approach to reduce the attack network surface and network. As I wrote in a recent ISACA Now blog post, the goal going forward should be to drive strategic business outcomes by enabling modern security practices through zero trust, process orchestration and automation, collaboration and threat management.
Datacentres will still be pertinent in the future, but distributed environments will be increasingly important. This affects speed and effectiveness, given the business transformation drivers embracing Industry 4.0 digitisation, workforce transformation, and massive supply chain disruption that are rapidly affecting organisations globally, fuelling a digital revolution that will propel widespread adoption of distributed environments. | <urn:uuid:163af989-1520-4983-8b9a-0637ca77027c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.computerweekly.com/opinion/Security-Think-Tank-Security-at-the-distributed-edge | 2020-09-29T04:04:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.912626 | 920 |
In my career as a professional fight director, I found it imperative to foster what I call a “No Fault No Guilt” work environment. The concepts of fault or guilt are ego-based reactions that do not resolve the problem at hand. In fact, delving into fault or guilt when a solution is what is needed, is simply a waste of time. Imagine two actors working on a theatrical fist fight when one throws a punch too high and almost hits the other. If the one who was almost hit, gets angry, and reacts accordingly, he will first throw a fault statement like,” Hey you almost hit me!” The natural response to this statement is to become defensive rather than admit guilt or fault. No time is being wasted. If instead the first one said,” Hey that last punch looked a little high can we look at that again?” then the reaction would be thwarted and they could quickly resolve the problem.
The example above is a blatent example of the idea of how a “No Fault No Guilt” work culture increases productivity. How does this translate into the average workplace? While working as the Entertainment Director of regional theme park, I walked into the office one afternoon into the middle of a screaming match. Between the owner of the park and one of my top performers. I think you will agree that this is not an ideal situation for a middle management person to walk into. It seems the performer's tsocial security forms were not filled out properly and the IRS had instructed the owner to hold back thirty percent of the performer's pay. The owner had just handed him his check and the argument ensued. Each blaming the other for the situation.
Hearing the argument and getting the information about what had happened from the book keeper, I knew I had to remove fault and guilt from the situation and offer a solution. “ Gentlemen, I am really sorry this is my fault.” I said. Instantly the argument stopped. “ If I had been more thorough in my paperwork, I would have caught this sooner and we wouldn't be having this issue I apologize.” By taking the fault and admitting guilt they no longer had anything to argue about. Now it was simply information about an issue that needed a solution. I turned to the owner,” Since we pay him in two payments, can we give him his full pay today and take the thirty percent from his final check?” He responded that we could. I turned to the performer,” your going to get your full check today that gives us a couple weeks to resolve this issue.” Everyone was satisfied and the issue was resolved.” The told the performer I would drive him to social security the next day and get it solved and at 8am I was there to pick him up true to my word.
Often when I talk about the “No Fault No Guilt” approach I get pushback about accountability. I am not saying situations have to be assessed a productivity issues do not need to be addressed. Of course if someone is consistently not performing and need to be let go, then let them go. I am saying that emotional ego-trips that waste time directly effect the bottom line as much if not more than any issue that might come up. Treat it all as information, offer productive solutions without getting personal and foster that work culture for a better return. | <urn:uuid:3b49e658-ffff-4fb7-8649-22183289d955> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.corporateactionhero.com/inner-action-hero-vlog/no-fault-no-guilt-work-culture | 2020-09-29T03:21:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401624636.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929025239-20200929055239-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.983669 | 696 |

Commodity trading has been popular for decades. Today, its appeal is undeniable. Cutting-edge technology allows residents of Nigeria and South Africa to profit from commodities online. These eight books will help you master the art of successful trades.
A Trader’s First Book On Commodities
Before delving into practical trading, learn the fundamentals. This high-stakes investment must be approached wisely. The book focuses on the trading environment, rather than theory. It covers profit mechanisms, best platforms, the balance of gains and losses, and margin calls. The history of the commodity futures market is also worth studying, as it teaches you to evaluate risks. There is a wealth of advice for rookies.
Author Jim Rogers is one of the most successful investors ever. He manages a commodity index fund that set a record when it reaped a gain of 165%! The book will take you back to the 1990s, the golden age of commodity investment, and show why these assets are still hot today. The market offers impressive income potential and security.
Rogers is a great mentor. He will tell you all about supply and demand. You will learn how market fluctuations can work to your advantage. It is not necessary to invest a fortune to achieve impressive returns.
Commodities for Dummies
The title says it all: this book targets complete beginners. Some people invest in commodities with only a shallow understanding of the market. While you could make a profit, long-term success requires a solid base.
This book will arm you with valuable techniques. You will develop the strategy that breaks you free from index funds or investment funds. Readers learn about common pitfalls, proper diversification, and the most popular commodities.
Gold Is A Better Way
As the name suggests, this book is all about investing in gold. Unlike other forms of trading, gold gives you something you can actually hold in your hand. Even though it does not mean you will have billions sitting in your basement, connection to a physical asset makes a significant difference. Precious metals trading is a safe and reliable way to make your money work.
This book is an investment guide that reads like a novel. It is entertaining and informative, with plenty of visual cues. Readers learn about gold and the market itself. This will prepare you real trading with brokers like Alpari.
The Little Book That Still Beats the Market
The book is not so little, as it has over 200 pages. However, it is undeniably one of the best classics. Joel Greenblatt has one central idea: the key to high profits in the stock market is finding products or companies which are undervalued. Obviously, this is not an easy task, so the author has distilled it into a simple formula.
You do not have to be good at maths to understand the main points. This book is a source of investment philosophies that have stood the test of time. You will learn why gaming the system does not work and how the formula can help you develop a sound long-term strategy.
For this book, Jack D. Schwager conducted research to define reasons for investors’ success. Is there a universal formula for high returns? Does it all come down to luck, inheritance, or knowledge? Unsurprisingly, the conclusion shows a combination of many factors. Big investors follow a solid strategy based on theory and practical experience, and they share a particular attitude.
Read the book for valuable insights from recognized experts. It provides advice in investors’ own words. You do not have to be a millionaire to use their tips! It is a truly inspiring read which touches upon equities, futures, economic trends, and psychoanalysis.
The Complete TurtleTrader
Once, investor Richard Dennis placed a bet that turned him into a legend. Through a classified ad, he found 23 people with little to no investment experience. Dennis then trained the team for two weeks and gave them one million dollars to invest.
The result? Every single member became a millionaire. The team became known as Turtles — hence the name. The followers brought Dennis $100 million. The book includes their accounts of what happened. The turtles describe their interviews, training, and key takeaways from experience. Today, some of these people are running substantial hedge funds.

Guys Travel Pack© for seniors
Fungal infection to groin or toes
Fact: 'Jock itch' is common in hot humid climates as is athlete's foot.
Your pack contains the antifungal Fluconazole to kill off the infectious fungal growth which can appear in the groin or between your toes, while the prescription-only Canesten HC cream relieves the itchy symptoms.
Infected skin rash or insect bite
Fact: Smells and bright colours attract insects.(1)
In hot and sweaty climates it is easy for cuts, rashes or insect bites to become sore and infected. Fusidic hydro cream is an antibiotic and an anti allergy medicine that can be applied in all these situations.
Fact: Up to 90% of Europeans will get bacterial diarrhoea whilst in developing countries.(2)
For diarrhoea and vomiting your pack contains three courses of Ciprofloxacin to deal with the cause, and Domperidone and Loperamide to treat symptoms. Rehydration sachets replace the chemicals that are lost with diarrhoea or vomiting.
Indigestion, heartburn and constipation
Fact: Heartburn and indigestion may feel similar but are not the same.(3)
Gaviscon advance to protect from heartburn and omeprazole to stop the stomach making acid, which causes indigestion. Macrogol oral powder sachets to mix in water and drink for constipation or glycerine suppositories to insert anally if you are having particular difficulty passing hard stools.
Ear, nose, throat and bacterial chest infection
Fact: There are two main types of chest infection. Acute bronchitis and pneumonia.(4)
Use Clarithromycin tablets to treat the bacterial chest infection. Otrivine drops as a decongestant for sinus congestion and pain, and for severe nasal congestion especially before flights.
Hay fever or other allergic reaction
Fact: The prevalence of food allergies is higher in paediatric than adult populations.(5)
Cetirizine tablets is an antihistamine used to treat allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, hay fever and urticaria. This helps reduce the symptoms of allergies such as redness, itching and swelling.
Fact: These can be used together as they work in different ways and can be complementary.(6,7)
When you need something stronger than Paracetamol we supply Naproxen for the most commonly reported travel problems such as; headache, toothache, muscle and backache.
Persistent diarrhoea £10
Fact: Take treatment for giardia if still having diarrhoea after 10 days despite antibiotics.(8)
Giardia is a different cause of diarrhoea which is common in areas with poor water hygiene and needs specific treatment. If your diarrhoea is persistent after recommended treatments, take Metronidazole - but do not take with alcohol.
Travellers' diarrhoea in South East Asia £25
Fact: Prompt treatment with the right antibiotic reduces severity and duration of diarrhoea.
In Southeast Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos etc) and the Indian subcontinent, Azithromycin is the recommended treatment for diarrhoea. Two courses are provided in case of recurrence. Please note that Azithromycin does not have a licence for this indication even though it is commonly prescribed by doctors as the antibiotic of choice in this clinical situation, recommended in the Hospital of Tropical medicine’s review in the BMJ and supported by authoritative research from Hill and Beeching.(9)
Cold sores and herpes £10/£15
Fact: If the condition spreads to the eyes, it can damage vision.(10)
Aciclovir cream (£10) can be applied to the face and mouth to prevent the spread of cold sores. Further attacks or more severe attacks can be alleviated by prompt use of Aciclovir tablets (£15). Please note that Aciclovir only has a licence for herpes prevention in people whose immune systems are compromised, but it is routinely prescribed by doctors for people who are very prone to herpes breakouts under stressful circumstances or sunlight. Ask for more information if you need it.
