"At frequent intervals, there is developed in the refractory field some product which serves to keep this branch of industry in line in the fast moving modern era. The advent of such materials as high temperature mortars and high alumina, super refractories provided a definite mark of progress. One of the most recent and far reaching developments was made possible by the perfection of light weight, insulating fire brick. This product filled a gap which had long been an aching void to all who had made a careful study of furnaces in an effort to obtain higher efficiency. Formerly, it had been necessary to resort to heavy, thick fire brick linings, plus low temperature insulation to obtain anything like maximum efficiency in the operation of even the smallest industrial furnace. Always looking for some means of reducing the large amount of heat absorbed by the usual heavy refractory lining, furnace men promptly approved insulating fire brick. It remained only to establish the lasting qualities of the feather weight product"--Introduction, page 1.

WWE star Braun Strowman separates pelvis during Monday Night RAW and is rushed to hospital
Strowman was fighting Bobby Lashley in a Falls Count Anywhere match when the pair collided into the titantron
Braun Strowman suffered a separated pelvis on Monday Night RAW which saw the WWE star rushed to hospital.
Strowmawn, 35, collided into the titantron while fighting Bobby Lashley in a Falls Count Anywhere match, with both wrestlers treated by paramedics on the scene.
Fan footage has emerged showing the brutal way WWE star Dana Brooke's head was split open
While Lashley was released from care, Strowman had to be taken to hospital over a suspected separated pelvis.

According to reports, Strowman will undergo surgery for his injuries.
Both men have been locked in an intense rivalry in recent weeks with the Monster Among Men defeating Lashley at Crown Jewel last month.
In-between their bout in Saudi Arabia, Strowman dominated the former Intercontinental champion in an arm wrestling contest and a tug of war segment.
But victory came at a price for Strowman, who suffered two beatdowns from Lashley.
Now, the feud between the pair is likely to end following Monday’s events. | <urn:uuid:71bb1bca-415e-4d4d-bf59-8b1961a8d273> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://talksport.com/sport/wrestling/566835/wwe-braun-strowman-pelvis-monday-night-raw-hospital/ | 2020-09-19T07:14:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.917796 | 499 |
My world feels really big and oh so small right now. Thanks to the world wide web, I can find out what is happening around the globe anytime I open Facebook. Thanks to COVID19 Stay-at-Home orders from our governor, and curfew from our mayor, my world also feels TINY as my daily outings consist mainly of my bitty neighborhood.
Times like these make me especially glad to be a reader. Books concurrently expand my horizons and give me a mental break from the very immediate devastation and tragedy of daily news. Books have the power to question my assumptions and perspective, and yet still give me the space to process peacefully. It is as if books know I need a minute to think before I can answer. I believe books are one of the world’s most powerful agents of cultural change.
I’m wondering – Has a book ever introduced you to a new culture or human experience in a profound way? Which book invited you into someone else’s life for a few minutes, opening your eyes to a whole new world? Did you expect to be changed when you opened the cover, or was the door to something new thoroughly disguised as entertainment?
About 20 years ago, I read a very thick novel that I just could not set aside about life in India. I remember carrying this giant of a book to the gym at 5:30 am so I could read it on the stair stepper and even between bicep curls. The avalanche of misery pushing the characters down, down, down through an inescapable caste system captured me as an American reader who longs for the happy ending. But an American story this was not, and ended in tears (mine). It saddens me that I do not remember the book’s title or author because I would recommend it to you AND reread it! Regardless of those very important details, the book fed into what has become a lifelong fascination with Indian culture.
About 10 years later, I read The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing by Mira Jacob. Once again, I started a book that I could hardly put down. This one opened more doors to Indian culture, specifically the impact of culture on Indian families who immigrate to the US. I remember there being some very difficult things and many, many adult themes. I also recall reading it in the driver’s seat of my car, sitting in my own driveway dying to know what happens next while my kids waited for me to do the actual next thing in our lives – this book really got to me. Mira Jacob introduced me to the concept of finding/creating community in a foreign country in a way that was both attractive and unattractive. She described a very intense community of “belonging” that some of the characters pursued and some despised. In fact, the younger generation of characters in the story tended to feel oppressed by the close knit community of fellow immigrants. It is worth mentioning, as a food-lover, I ate up (pardon the pun) the descriptions of Indian dishes and the concept of food as a cure-all in any culture. I think food can also bridge many gaps and open doors to relationships across cultures.
And while I prefer the ‘could be real, but isn’t actually’ novels that allow me a little space from the reality, and sometimes horrors of real life, I’ve also found a couple of memoirs that I found quite touching, humorous and educational at the same time.
Of course I love Mindy Kaling (honestly, who doesn’t love Mindy???) and her book, Is Everyone Hanging Out without Me? The peek into her childhood years and her parent’s definition of career success is a little mind blowing for this American girl who was encouraged to study hard, and follow my dreams, whatever they may be. Kaling’s parents even thought knitting was a waste of time compared to studying and that hits a little too close to home for this reader!
The second book I’ve recently enjoyed is In Stitches by Anthony Youn, a Korean-American. Much like Kaling’s family, there was a tremendous amount of parental pressure on young Youn, not just to be Somebody, but to be a particular kind of Somebody with a particular kind of career. Dr. Youn tells the story beautifully, keeping me laughing, and warming my heart as he shares his family’s own history and how they came to a place each individual could grow as a Korean-American.
This week I have been so happy to hear that many of the books about the Black American experience are sold out. WOW! Not only does it make me happy that so many people are reading (and washing hands, thanks to COVID which is almost all I’ve ever wished for), but people are allowing books to open their hearts and minds to cultures and experiences different from their own. And while there is a great deal of pain in our big/small worlds right now, I hope we are each able to find the bright spots of change and growth as we develop in understanding the richness and complexities of our neighbors. | <urn:uuid:6c2b4f0e-0b01-45d4-bd59-66919ab0e3c7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://teenyandbea.com/2020/06/12/a-whole-new-world/ | 2020-09-19T06:56:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969403 | 1,064 |
Rai Ley/Ton Sai [Day One]
Plan: Stay in a beach bungalow (cheap and awesome) in Rai Ley.
After that terrifying experience, awesome times followed.
Stumbling out of the boat, kissing the ground, and clinging to random strangers, we arrived in Rai Ley. This island is known particularly well among climbers – awesome rock with great views and a variety of routes – and therefore was a must-see for Jill and I, climbers who were suffering withdrawal from the lack of climbing in Bangkok.
We tried to track down the infamously cheap beach bungalows in either East or West Rai Ley, but realized that these are located on an entirely separate part of the island: Ton Sai.
We took a 30-second longboat ride over to the Ton Sai beach, and it was an entirely different atmosphere. Rather than baby boomers with private yoga instructors and random beach-bathers, we encountered beaming reggae-blasting bartenders, a charming man getting a traditional Thai tattoo, and various “zen” climbers making their way to/from climbs and eachothers bungalows. The ambience was welcoming and relaxing. All of the structures facing the beach were wood, giving the place a Swiss-Family Robinson feel that has become quite common throughout my Thai journeys.
We made our way to a place called Mambo – a restaurant/bungalow property right on the beachfront. The staff were a bit difficult to understand (language barrier), but we quickly got three bungalows for the six of us and dropped off our stuff. The bungalows weren’t much – tiny huts with one lightbulb, electricity only from 7:00pm-7:00am, and a small metal shack in the back serving as the restroom (“hong nam” for Thai-learners).
We headed to the place next door (it had a sign for Chai tea – hello) to chillax, regroup, and figure out our plan for the night/next day. We chatted with a lovely climber who was sitting down to endure his new tattoo. He opted for the traditional Thai tattoo – made with tiny individual pricks with bamboo. Much more painful than modern tattooing, but apparently more sanitary and definitely a unique experience. The tattoo was down his spine – and read something like “Life is Beautiful” in Thai.
Over the small wooden railing, we noticed some guys slacklining just next to us (the cafe has it’s own, of course). Jill and I were intrigued – and temporarily abandoned our chai to try it out. Turns out slacklining is easy with a helping hand, but quite humbling if you attempt it on your own. Let’s just say Jill and I were – from that moment – determined to become slacklining pros.
We ended up talking with the guys – James, James (Jimmy), Ian, and Tino – through dinner, post-dinner drinks, and eventually moved to the beach for some impromtu local fire-breathing, dancing, and lighting of a Thai lantern (google “Loi Krathong” for enlightenment, and a way-more-impressive display). | <urn:uuid:60e987c6-855e-448a-bab9-252b9c282e00> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thaiitout.blog/2012/11/05/rai-leyton-sai-day-one/ | 2020-09-19T05:04:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.964407 | 675 |

In a talk on YouTube for the blog called 3 Words, Mike goes over the three words he focuses on during the year– everything he does has to be aligned with these words.
The concept of 3 Words is that instead of New Year’s Resolutions, he starts his year with 3 words and categorizes his goals in line with those three words. So instead of some vague resolution to lose weight, you could have the word Fitness. Under this word, you could have other types of tasks you want to accomplish but they must align with this word.
Mike usually keeps the first letter of each word the same. I haven’t copied this, but I have taken the 3 words to heart. I use Day One to track my progress for the three words I have set for myself:
<img class=”aligncenter” src=”
There’s a myriad of things and apps you could use to keep track of your three words. The advantages to the three-word system are that it prevents you from setting arbitrary productivity goals and provides a framework for productivity throughout the year, as long as you keep to those themes and only do things that align with them. | <urn:uuid:fe80d2cc-26dc-48a9-ab3b-f545d742de31> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://tiffanywhite.blog/2016/03/15/mike-vardys-three-words/ | 2020-09-19T04:58:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97032 | 268 |
REVIEW: The Daily Poutine at Disney Springs; Disappointment Comes in 4 Flavors
The Daily Poutine opened on the border of the Marketplace and Town Center of Disney Springs back on May 15th, 2016. The stand serves traditional poutine (which are large french fries with cheese and gravy), as well as some interesting new takes on the Canadian favorite. You may be asking yourself now, “Tom, you seem to like to be the first to talk about new items at Walt Disney World, why is this review a month late?” Well, honestly, I forgot, and that’s the problem. What sounded like an exciting quick stop for loaded french fries ended up being a bit of a disappointment. We were so excited about so many other options that have opened at Disney Springs that this one kind of just got lost in the shuffle, which is pretty much what I feel the fate of this booth will be in the grand scheme of Disney Springs.
It is located just steps away from World of Disney and Amorette’s Patisserie.
There are 4 varieties of the fries offered here, as well as a nice drink selection.
In WDWNT fashion, we ordered them all.
We also ordered the Fireball Sangria, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I never really though to throw whiskey in sangria, but it makes for a good (and surprisingly refreshing) combination. This is a solid drink option for a hot summer day at Disney Springs.
The fries themselves are thick steak fries. They are good on their own, but as this is a “poutine” stand, the focus is on the toppings. The Italian style was my least favorite. The marinara sauce reminded me of the more awful faux-Italian counter service offerings from Disney. The cheese was barely melted as well, which didn’t help the cause.
The Latin were my overall favorite. The pork was seasoned really well and the yucca, cheese, and black beans all mixed for a really good flavor, even though I’m not sure french fires are the best item to throw these toppings on.
I thoroughly enjoyed the French version, as the Gruyere cheese melted onto the fries was pretty perfect. I also enjoy mushrooms, so the added taste of those in this dish was a pleasant addition to some bites.
While I enjoyed the cheese curds, I am not a big fan of brown gravy which hampered my enjoyment of the Classic option.
The Daily Poutine is good, it’s just not great, and that’s a problem when it is surrounded by some really great counter service or food stand options. While the portions are large and filling, I would much rather dine at B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co., D-Luxe Burger, or even Earl of Sandwich if I was at Disney Springs looking for something fast. If time and money were no option, my choices would broaden ten-fold, leaving the Daily Poutine completely off of my radar, and that’s the issue. The Daily Poutine just isn’t good enough or priced well enough to survive in the “theme park for food” landscape that is the Disney Springs of 2016. My recommendation would be to skip this and visit any of the other establishments we have positively reviewed from Disney Springs over the last year. | <urn:uuid:2375fa69-7ae7-4573-b1fd-e531efc0895e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wdwnt.com/2016/06/review-the-daily-poutine-at-disney-springs-disappointment-comes-in-4-flavors/ | 2020-09-19T05:42:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973629 | 695 |

Back in the great old days, a nickel used to get you a evening on the town with your very best gal, like a trolley ride, tickets to the most recent Clark Gable film and the post-coital pack of cigarettes. Other Toyota Models accessible in Nigeria incorporate Toyota Avensis , Toyota Rav4 , Toyota Land Cruiser , and so on. Wonderful job with your details, I can inform you happen to be really knowledgeable about it. I want there had been much more vehicle shows devoted to the 1920’s vehicles rather of the later models. The announcement was named out over a PA system that the auction was starting and every person went to their acceptable spots.
BMW dealers in Nigeria provide two years warranty on BMW cars, original components and accessories. This is important as the auction procedure occurs quite rapidly and this will be the only time you get to verify out the auto below the hood, the interior and the exterior. They acquire lots of cars directly from owners even when they never purchase a auto from CarMax. I produced sure I kept plenty of distance amongst the Dodge and any automobiles in front of me. In truth, you should hope that the guy who gave you the highest appraisal was really inaccurate and made a enormous mistake that will cost his dealership a large wholesale loss at the auction.
The economies effected by the large Cadillac production in fact reverse the usual financial order and make this finest of all fine vehicles at the identical time substantially reduce in value. Here is where we could ask inquiries and exactly where we identified out for this auction that only the cars that were repossessions have been open for the public to bid on. All other cars have been for dealers only. The first vehicles have been driven into the bidding arena, where 30 seconds was provided for one last appear over of the vehicle.
We provide private, commercial and private loans with very low annual interest prices as low as two% in a single year to 50 years repayment period anyplace in the planet. My situation is when a auto is totaled and an insurance coverage organization says we will compensate you this significantly by averaging all the vehicles sold recently, How do I refute that by my own information. We were attending the ADESA auction in Montpelier, Ohio which is a 2.5 hour drive from our property. Here is a list of names and make contact with of Honda accredited dealer/distributor locations in Nigeria.
Statistics show that the demand on practical and economical modest automobiles are escalating in the last couple of years, exactly where people can benefit from the fuel efficiency of mid-size automobiles that is excellent for the each day use. In the light of that truth, it is virtually inevitable that the public need to award to Cadillac a volume that amounts to much more than half the nation’s demand for fine automobiles. Yes, all these fees left me questioning the benefits to acquiring a used car at an auction. | <urn:uuid:6a02bec7-96c9-4f49-b0c7-d55968a9e99c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wowwatch.net/luxury-cars-getting-auctioned-at-throwaway-prices.html | 2020-09-19T04:50:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966879 | 586 |

Unless you've used the eTrizzle service on the web before, the name won't give you any indication of what this app actually does. Confusing branding aside, the app provides a very useful service. In an age where people are looking to "cut the cord" and have multiple sources of content, it can be either confusing or time consuming to try and find where movies are available.
eTrizzle hopes to solve this problem by aggregating several different sources of digital (and physical) movie content and making it searchable right from an app.
The eTrizzle interface isn't going to win any design awards, but to its credit it does follow a very similar design to its website. You get a simple listing of new movies on the first panel, with subsequent tabs offering popular listings, service listings and a more detailed browsing interface. Each listing shows the title, rating, a user rating and start listing the cast. You can scroll through the lists -- more will load as you reach the "bottom" -- until you find a move you want to see. If you'd prefer to search by a specific source, you can do that from the "Services" tab.
Once you find a movie you're interested in, tapping its listing takes you to a details page where you can see the full description, synopsis, critics consensus and a way to view the trailer (which kicks you over to Flixter to watch, weirdly). Prominently in the middle of the screen are the viewing options where you can find the movie, with information on the pricing and whether or not it is a rental or purchase. For sources, eTrizzle aggregates iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Redbox (and Instant), Netflix, Amazon Prime, Crackle, HBO Go, Comcast Streampix, Hulu and Google Play. Although the website has also started listing TV shows as a "beta" feature, that hasn't made it into the app.
Tapping on the source you'd like to rent or purchase the movie from simply takes you to the app's integrated browser with the service's mobile website loaded. This works pretty well for sources like Amazon and Redbox, which have more than usable mobile interfaces, but Google Play for example doesn't have a good mobile page. We'd like to see eTrizzle tie into the Google Play app -- as well as others -- to cut down on some of the friction of renting.
It's hard to fault eTrizzle for issues with the third party service's websites, but it certainly does detract from the overall cleanliness of the process. The most most useful part of eTrizzle isn't the ability to buy or rent through the app, though. Most users will likely just use it to search for content, then load it independently on the viewing device of choice in their home theater system.
When it comes to this usage, eTrizzle provides a great service that can make things much easier on someone that just wants to find out where the movies are and how to get them the cheapest. Best of all the app is free, so there really is no downside to giving it a try. If you're attempting to cut the cord and find it frustrating to search multiple places for content, give eTrizzle a look at the Play Store link above.

A GROUP dedicated to growing beautiful chrysanthemums is in danger of wilting due to a dearth of new members and losing its home.
The Shirley Chrysanthemum Society long ago moved away from Solihull and has in recent years been based at Burcot Garden Centre in Bromsgrove.
However, the garden centre is set to be bulldozed and replaced with houses, leaving the society with nowhere to go.
Treasurer John Rogers from Redditch said: “We want to thank Burcot for all the support they have given us over the years – they have always looked after us so well.”
And he appealed to other venues which could accommodate the society which specialises in growing the stunning flowers.
He added this year’s late flowering show produced ‘some absolute beauties from some high quality growers’.
The organisers said they were in two minds beforehand whether to go ahead with it as they did not know if they would get enough blooms for a good competition.
John said: “We were pleasantly surprised. We were 20 blooms short on last year but we had some close competition from the five growers.”
The trophies were pretty evenly distributed with Dennis Barron and Chris Amphlett each winning two and there was one each for John, George Proverbs and Jack Gilbert.
The overall winner was Chris Amphlett who amassed the most points in the contest.
Jack won best muti-vase and best vase and George Proverbs came second in the latter category.
Anyone interested in joining the group, or who could offer them a home, can call John on 01527 544220. | <urn:uuid:267aed0d-392f-4892-8937-786cf4efc53e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bromsgrovestandard.co.uk/news/bromsgrove-based-chrysanthemum-society-hoping-for-new-home-and-more-members-in-2020/ | 2020-09-19T05:10:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.979165 | 344 |
Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has struggled for playing time so far this season, but Antonio Conte has insisted that he doesn’t wish to leave.
The Belgian international has been restricted to 14 appearances in all competitions, rarely starting games, but has still managed to bag three goals and an assist.
Perhaps the biggest snub of his short Chelsea career to date came on Boxing Day, as despite Diego Costa being absent through suspension, Conte opted against bringing in the former Marseille man to lead the line and went with Eden Hazard in a false nine role.
Nevertheless, he has cleared up the situation and has revealed that Batshuayi doesn’t wish to leave the club in January and will continue to fight for his place in the line-up.
“Usually when I talk with my players I prefer to keep it a secret what is said in the conversation,” he is quoted as saying by ESPN FC. “For Michy, I think that he’s working very well, he’s improving a lot, and I’m sure that, in the future, he will have his chance to play.
“He wants to stay [at Chelsea]. I repeat: He’s a young player. We are talking about a player who is 23. He’s starting his path in football. He has great talent, great potential, and I think it’s very important for him as a footballer to complete this season [here]. He wants to stay, and I’m happy for this.”
As noted in the report, Batshuayi arrived in a £33m deal this past summer, and his chances to impress have generally been restricted to the EFL Cup.
In turn, if cup competitions are his opportunity to shine, then he will hope to start against Peterborough in the FA Cup next month, and apply further pressure on Costa in the Premier League.
Nevertheless, given the Spaniard leads the goalscoring charts in the league with 13 goals in 17 games, it’s hardly a surprise that it’s been difficult to displace him. | <urn:uuid:d6d2ca0b-8d74-457a-9245-eb3b94345792> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2016/12/31/antonio-conte-insists-33m-chelsea-misfit-doesnt-want-to-quit-stamford-bridge/ | 2020-09-19T06:16:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.984286 | 448 |
With the year drawing to a close, I thought I would reflect on my makes during 2019. Most challenging make - the black copley cardigan I've chosen the black copley cardigan as it is the make that took me the longest. I have made this pattern before but in a yellow colour, which was a lot easier on the eye! I can get quite impatient so the fact I persevered and finished it within a year is quite an achievement. I haven't worn it much yet - I think I have just got a bit exhausted from it. I'm sure…

“Guangdong Province is of strategic importance to BASF in Greater China,” said Zheng Daqing, senior VP, Business and Market Development, BASF Greater China. “The investment in Jiangmen will double the production capacity of the site. Located in the fast-growing area of the Pearl River Delta, the new facility will enable us to be even closer to our customers, further supporting the automotive industry.”
Acquired from a local family business in 2016, BASF Coatings (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. is the company’s first automotive refinish coatings production site in Asia.
“We have upgraded the production and environmental protection facilities to meet BASF’s world-class standards. At the same time, we have enhanced the skillsets of our employees, with one focus being on the environment, health and safety practices. This is how we have built a professional, competitive team and fostered a safe and sustainable corporate culture,” said Patrick Zhao, senior VP, BASF Coatings Solutions Asia Pacific.
BASF’s environmental credentials and contributions were recognized by the local Environmental Protection Bureau of Jiangmen: The company was named a “Green Brand” in October 2018.
BASF was the only company in the chemical sector to achieve this status last year.
After the acquisition, BASF established a technology hub in Jiangmen, focusing on color technology and the development of sustainable high-performance products for the refinish and commercial transportation segments in Asia Pacific.
“We now have the full capability to serve the growing local and regional Value-for-Money market with strong product and solution offerings,” Zhao said.
For instance, NORBIN 66, a new water-borne technology, has helped customers in the Value-for-Money refinish segment to achieve higher performance and be more environmentally friendly.

While rumours and speculation about when the decision of Floyd Landis' fate may come circulate, especially as the Tour de France gets underway, Landis himself has been busy promoting his new book, Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France. Monday night Landis appeared at a Borders bookstore in suburban Chicago and was welcomed by a crowd of a few hundred supporters. He greeted each fan with a smile and a thank you, and signed copies of his book until the store sold out.
"Most everything was written by the time the hearing was going on," Landis told Cyclingnews about the book's writing, co-written with author Loren Mooney. "We had to add an epilogue after but everything else was finished six weeks before, because the date was established when we thought the hearing was going to be in January. We wanted it to come out before the Tour, that's all."
"[Mooney] did the vast majority of it and did a great job -- I had never written a book before! To make it entertaining and still from my voice is another thing."
Landis spoke for a couple of minutes and then opened the floor to questions for twenty minutes. Most of the questions were rather benign, inquiring about what he is doing these days and how his hip is feeling, but a few did probe into deeper issues.
When a question on his thoughts regarding Greg LeMond surfaced, Landis quickly quipped back, "Care to make that more specific?" -- to which the crowd laughed. While keeping the mood light, Landis did diffuse the question by saying that he did not know why LeMond was brought into the preceding. "He only served to distract [from] what the hearing was about."
Of course, people wanted to know when the decision was going to come down, and if it is against him, if he will appeal. "My lawyers have not heard anything," he said. "There is no real timeline except for a ten day minimum after the hearing closes. It depends on what the ruling says. I really believe there is very little chance I would not appeal it. I don't know what they could possibly write that would convict me. But if they say 'we just don't like the guy', then it is going to be hard to appeal that!"
"I hope it is soon, but I also hope it doesn't take away from the guys who are racing this year. They deserve more credit than they are getting."

5 Ways Smarter Invoicing Can 10x Your Business Cash Flow in Weeks
Grow Your Business, Not Your Inbox
I was naive when I started out freelancing. Why? Because I was super-excited that I had clients paying me for my services.
That wasn’t the problem. The issue was that I had the dreaded 30-day payment term. If I completed a gig early in the month, it would be 30 days before it was invoiced. It would take a whole month before I was compensated! And, that’s if the client paid on time. If not, I had to track them down until they paid the bill. In that case, it could take more than 90 days to get paid.
That’s bad for cash flow.
After some trial and error, I wised-up and got smarter with my invoicing, which increased my cash flow significantly. Smarter invoicing meant I was paid sooner, resulting in more money in my bank account.
Interested? Here are five ways smarter invoicing can boost your business’s cash flow.
1. Discuss your terms and conditions before you take the gig.
I can’t stress this enough, so please memorize this and take this piece of advice from client to client: Establish crystal clear and direct Terms and Conditions prior to starting any work. It protects both you and your client from playing each other and can be used as a reference when there’s any questions or concerns.
Your T&Cs should answer these questions:
- Do you require any payments upfront? If so, how much?
- When (what date?) (how many days?) is the payment expected after the invoice has been issued?
- Will you will charge late fees as a specific amount or a percentage of the invoice total?
- Will you offer incentives for early payments?
- What types of payments do you accept?
Answering the above questions and setting-up these T&Cs will clearly establish expectations. Clear expectations and guideline means that when it’s time to issue an invoice, it will be paid quickly and without any problems.
2. Shorten your payment terms.
If you’re a service based business, then it’s perfectly acceptable to demand seven day payment terms. Those generic 30-day payment terms are a hangover from the days when businesses were paid by a check. The "olden days" meant that it took weeks to write, receive, and clear. Businesses neither expect nor want this unneeded aggravation with invoices.
With electronic payments, however, there’s absolutely no good reason for 30 day terms. The only exception is if you’re working with an enterprise level business or government agency where there’s a bunch of red tape due to their established payment policies.
In an ideal world, you could request a payment as soon as a job is completed. For example, if you’re a plumber or electrician and just completed a job for a homeowner, it’s possible to create an invoice and take a credit card payment right there on the spot.
3. Know the best time and frequency to bill clients.
As I just mentioned above, in a perfect world you can invoice and receive a payment immediately following the completion of a job. After all, the longer you wait to invoice your clients, the less likely that invoice will get paid. In fact, we’ve found that only 18% of invoices are paid if it’s been more than 90 days.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world. So, when exactly should you invoice your clients? And how often?
There’s no one-size solution. The business recommendations are as follows:
- If you invoice weekly or bi-weekly, send out your invoices on the weekend when your clients’ inboxes aren’t flooded.
- If you invoice monthly your invoices should be issued on the first of the month, since these were paid in 30 days. Invoices issued on the 30th and 31st were paid in 38 and 37 days.
- If you do send out your invoices during the week, Tuesdays are the best day, while the peak times to send emails are directly before and after lunch.
- As for the frequency, you should bunch all of your invoices together so that can send them all out at the same time - it’s a real time-saver.
- Use a platform like Flint as well. It will “ping” your clients until they make a payment.
However, the best way to determine the best time and frequency to invoice clients is to ask them when their pay cycle is and sync with that so that there is little lapse time between sending an invoice and getting paid.
4. Don’t hold credit for clients.
Seriously. Do the opposite of Nike and just don’t do this.
If the job you’re doing involves having to pay another supplier, vendor,or freelancer in advance, then make it the client’s responsibility to pay for that job up front. At the very least you need to request a deposit that will cover this expense. This avoids you having to chase down a payment that not only covers your costs, but also cost of the other party.
Be transparent with this when negotiating with the client so that they’re not surprised when they review the online invoice.
5. Automate as much as possible.
Even though invoice templates has made this task run more smoothly, invoicing software was designed to automate as many invoicing tasks as possible for freelancers and small business owners.
Thanks to automation, information like contact details, job descriptions, and prices are saved so that you don’t have to waste time constantly entering this information.
Automation also includes recurring invoicing, expense tracking, and other features like sending out payment reminders. . | <urn:uuid:7b2a8517-d35f-4187-8e79-3913db737ef0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/297977 | 2020-09-19T07:19:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966835 | 1,259 |

BURBANK, Calif. – The Federal Aviation Administration says two flight attendants were injured when a Southwest Airlines pilot took sudden evasive action to avoid a collision with a private plane near Burbank over the weekend.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said Tuesday the pilot of Southwest Flight 2534 from Las Vegas got an automated alert because it was briefly on a collision course with another aircraft. The plane was flying at about 6,000 feet Saturday about 20 miles away from Bob Hope Airport.
Gregor says the Southwest pilot made some sudden maneuvers to avoid the other plane, which was about two miles away. He says one Southwest flight attendant suffered a broken shoulder, the other was bruised.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident. | <urn:uuid:f29939e6-fdd7-4676-b545-5b901fc17558> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.foxnews.com/story/southwest-airlines-pilot-takes-evasive-action-to-avoid-collision-2-injured | 2020-09-19T07:33:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.968057 | 150 |

Several heating companies work with electric companies to make sure you are getting the finest HVAC system benefits available. Which means that you will get the most cost effective unit to work through the hot and cold periods. Moreover, the government has incentives for homeowners to buy energy efficient devices and provide discounts through the next tax time to those who spend. Be sure that you check with the tech that the appliances are energy efficient and qualify for the tax break.
A HVAC coil can be an air to water heat exchanger. Air is traveling on the exterior of the tubes and liquid is traveling inside of the tubes. The most important rule in planning any heat exchanger is set the air as well as the liquid in a counter-flow arrangement. Which means that the air and water vacation in reverse directions through the heat exchanger. You always want the water, refrigerant or steam entering quietly of the exchanger where the air is leaving. Which means as the air goes from left to right, the substance is traveling from right to left. All coils are analyzed in table-circulation plans also it provides maximum efficiency. You can lose 15% of the capability when a HVAC coil is piped backwards. This is the key reason greater HVAC coils are given as proper or left hand. Counter-stream has negligible impact on 1-2 strip coils.
You’re probably wondering, “So easily choose energy-efficient equipment, why does sizing matter?” It matters! Selecting the proper-sized equipment (i.e. proper heating/cooling output) directly affects your comfort, your HVAC systemis productivity and its own maintenance and operating costs. You can view how important and underestimated this topic is. Actually, it’s been believed that over half of the HVAC industry does not size your HVAC systems properly.
One should have realized that air conditioners have a split unit positioned far on the roof or outside, plus it gets pretty hot around there because it keeps blowing hot air. This air could be the result of the air conditioner switching the gaseous substance back into a water using a compressor. This operation generates a great deal of unwanted heat that people don’t want mixing together with the cooled air. Thus, it is redirected through ducts to be introduced anywhere away from home where there’s less human presence.
HVAC Systems Are Essential for All Homes and Offices in Herrin
An HVAC update project is a major business decision requiring an important capital investment. The outcome of an executive review might declare that a whole system replacement or major upgrade is the greatest span of action but if an appropriate returnoninvestment cannot be demonstrated to the owner, this approach will usually not be approved. The explanation for an upgrade may not often be direct savings in energy or running costs, but could also include enhanced marketability or more rental charges for rental house if the upgrade helps you to reposition the home as well as other useful and cosmetic renovations. Intangible considerations including improved occupant comfort or higher occupant productivity must also be used into account. Given the scale of the financial impact along with the endurance of the gear required, it is recommended to seek the services of the qualified engineering professional to help guide the analysis and planning process.
All air conditioning and heating units work best once they are regularly maintained. Like, it’s often encouraged to check on your air filters each month to make sure proper air quality and ventilation and also to avoid a buildup of dust and dust while in the unit itself. Several issues might be prevented by following owners information in your unit and keeping up with basic monthly tasks.
Strategies for Quick Furnace Repair in Herrin Illinois
HVAC improvements often have considerable implications for other building systems. Changing the HVAC system will most likely involve major electrical distribution modifications. If the electrical distribution system consists of obsolete equipment that will not be enhanced or if it does not meet current codes, significant additional updates to the electric system maybe expected, at large cost.
Project planning should also consider periodic heating and cooling requirements. Ideally, replacement of heating equipment must happen throughout the cooling season and viceversa. If this is not feasible, large central systems with multiple devices offering a standard heap might be able to perform the majority of the time having a portion of the items detailed to ensure that equipment could be replaced one unit at any given time. Task schedules must consider company leadtimes, which may be four months or longer for key equipment for example big chillers or boilers.
Air Delivery (duct work). This is the most important facet of any installation. Great heart-bad veins. Without ductwork, the guts (dehumidification) can’t work. Consider building a new home. Being an owner, you would not install a furnace and an outside air conditioning system and after that not add it to the duct work system to move air movement at selected air turnover costs through the home. You’d also not merely run ductwork to your family area and miss out the remaining portion of the home if you want the entire home to be comfortable. Energy efficiency, least cost of procedure, least cost of equipment, derive from numerous factors including the size of one’s natatorium, your utility costs, utilizing a pool cover, not over sizing or purchasing a smaller dehumidification system than your task involves, the refrigerant charge, the equipment design, your building, heat loss/heat gain, etc.
Another concern in evaluating a current system is whether it uses an obsolete technology. Building automation systems have evolved dramatically throughout the last 10 to 15 years. In spite of programs that are performing reasonably well, it could be hard to obtain parts or to discover service personnel acquainted with older technologies. Moreover, new methods may have functions that the older programs absence but that will improve mechanical system functioning and improve occupant comfort.
On account of these causes it’s not recommended to put opposite cycle grilles in a same spot where a ducted evaporative grille was once located. Though it is possible to do it will greatly decrease the efficiency and capacity of the system. The top choice is to start clean and set the new reverse pattern grilles in the right ideal location as required. However, this would mean you would need to spot and paint the holes in the ceiling left from the removal of the previous evaporative grilles which could be a costly job.

This is our native Hawthorn which is one of the first to flower in our hedgerows.
This small, deciduous tree makes a very striking specimen and the twisted branches add character. During May it is covered in clusters of creamy-white flowers which have a delightful fragrance.
Hawthorn has been part of superstition and folklore since very early times. The tree was supposed to ward off evil spirits and therefore I believe every house should have at least one!
Flowers: Plentiful small white flowers, normally in May.
Fruit: Roundish dark red berries.
Leaves: Deeply cut pale to dark green leaves.
Autumn colour: Wine-red to yellow-orange.
Ultimate height: 12m
Uses: Very robust tree, not demanding at all, popular in hedges and even good as a specimen. | <urn:uuid:5439b69f-0dc8-45fb-ac7e-742cc494c023> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.newwoodtrees.co.uk/tree/crataegus-monogyna/ | 2020-09-19T06:43:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.957243 | 177 |

[–]phaarup 6 points7 points8 points 3 days ago (2 children)
Not positive on the location, but when the SR-71 was decomissioned, several were placed on display. I was there when they towed one down SW Military to the parade field on Lackland AFB in San Antonio. Snapped three or four towbars to get it done.
[–]are_you_shittin_me 10 points11 points12 points 3 days ago (0 children)
My parents were pilots and we would fly around for lunch at different restaurants on weekends sometimes. One weekend when I was about 15 flew into a Midwestern airport (in a Beech Starship!) and as we taxied by a hanger we noticed through the open doors that there was an SR-71 inside. (Not my images but it's what pretty close to what we saw)
We parked our plane and went inside the hanger where there were some people getting it ready for display at a local museum. The workers let me climb in the cockpit and look around the plane as they were modifying it for display. It was an amazing day.
[–]StrangeRover 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
I believe all the original A-12s were towed from Burbank to Area 51 for flight test in the early 60's. I think they put them in a big box for that trip though.

[–]GazingIntoTheVoid 2 points3 points4 points 3 days ago (1 child)
What do you mean? The SR-71 never claimed to be stealthy - it flew so high and fast that there was no need for stealth.
[–]louilouwho 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago (0 children)
Whether or not it was good at being a stealth aircraft, it is undeniably one of the first attempts at stealth technology and the fact that it was a reconnaissance aircraft. The use of the color black is an indication of attempts to decrease its night visibility. Yes outrunning missiles was effective for the SR71 but this bad boy was at least designed to be stealthy. I just thought it was funny that they were towing a spy plane through the streets, I don’t know the context of this photo but I thought it sounded funny.

10 Tips for Keeping Children Safe in a Tsunami
Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by major earthquakes beneath the ocean floor, or landslides into the ocean. In the U.S., tsunamis threaten the West Coast, Hawaii and Alaska as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. A tsunami can occur during any season and at any time. In the event of a disaster like this, Save the Children is on the ground first, providing tsunami relief. Save the Children offers these tips to show parents what to do when a tsunami hits.
1. Talk about tsunamis.
Spend time as a family discussing tsunamis. Explain that a tsunami is a natural event, and not anyone’s fault. Use simple words that young children can understand.
2. Identify hazard areas.
Find out if your home, school, childcare provider, workplace or other frequently visited locations are in tsunami hazard areas. Also, know the height of your street above sea level and the distance of your street from the coast. Evacuation orders may be based on these numbers.
3. Learn about caregivers’ disaster plans.
If your child’s school or childcare center is in a tsunami zone, learn their emergency plan and evacuation plan. You may be required to pick up children from another location. Review these plans with your children.
4. Stay informed.
Listen to a local news station on a NOAA Weather Radio, a portable radio or TV. Listen for and respond to tsunami watches and warnings. Evacuate if told to do so or if you feel unsafe.
5. Practice evacuation drills.
Practice so that children can evacuate quickly and safely if a tsunami hits. Plan and practice two ways out of your neighborhood, in case one route is blocked. Choose evacuation areas 100 feet above sea level, or 2 miles inland.
During a Tsunami
6. Earthquakes cause tsunamis.
If you feel an earthquake that lasts 20 seconds or longer, you should Drop, Cover and Hold On. Protect yourself from the earthquake by dropping to the ground, taking cover under something like a table, and hold on to it.
7. Don’t wait for an official order to evacuate.
After a coastal area earthquake, a tsunami may come within minutes; first responders may not have time to sound sirens or issue evacuation orders.
8. Expect aftershocks.
Large earthquakes may have aftershocks that may trigger tsunamis. When the earthquake stops, move your family members to higher ground – away from the coast.
Following a Tsunami
9. Involve children in recovery.
If it’s safe, include your children in clean-up activities after the tsunami. Children will find comfort in having a job to do and seeing the household return to normal. Help people who are in need of assistance while being cautious of dangers such as downed power lines or damaged buildings.

The Truckee football team faces an uphill battle as the program enters the 2019 season.
With relatively small classes of senior and junior players, Coach Josh Ivens has brought up roughly a dozen sophomore players to fill out the team’s roster, including at quarterback.
The lack of depth at the upperclassmen level combined with the graduation of a deep class of players that led Truckee to a state runner-up finish last year has some saying this will be a down season for the Wolverines — talk that has put a chip on the shoulders of players.
“There’s a lot of people out there saying Truckee is going to be bad,” said senior George Skaff. “We’re just going to come out there and surprise you.”
Compared to the start of last season, Skaff, a linebacker and tight end, said the mindset of the team has changed. Going into 2018, the Wolverines expected to compete for a state title, and this year, he said nothing is being taken for granted as the team looks to fight for its place in the Class 3A Northern League.
“The mentality is different,” he said. “I want to say this group is working harder in the weight room.”
Still, Ivens indicated there will likely be growing pains and maturing that need to take place in order for the young squad to find success this season. That sentiment was echoed several times during last Tuesday’s practice as players got after teammates for missing assignments or not hustling enough.
“It’s been a lot of coaching up … just hounding them to get their plays down,” said Skaff on the younger and new players. “We have high expectations for them. They are doing well and stepping up to the role. Especially in the last couple of weeks, you can see younger kids are out there competing.”
Offensively, Truckee will again rely on several running backs to move the ball. Of those, senior Tyler Estabrook is slated to see a large increase in usage after carrying the ball 30 times in 2018.
“There’s some big shoes to fill,” said Estabrook on going into this season. “Running back-wise we have some really good (players) filling into the spots that left.”
Last season, Truckee had seven players finish the year with more than 250 rushing yards as part of one of the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association’s top rushing teams. The offensive line that produced those results has mostly graduated, and will now be led by senior guard Dayton Broad.
“We’re a lot younger than we were last year, but we definitely have the same potential. It’s just discovering it,” said Broad, who will also play defensive tackle.
“Our defensive line is sturdy this year,” he added. “We’ve got speed for rushing and strength for holding and maintaining our gaps.”
At quarterback, Ivens declined to name a starter until the team puts on pads for their first full-contact practices next week, but said the position battle is between sophomores, Jackson Kahl and Tavin Hamilton.
Heading into the season opener next Friday at Bear River, the Wolverines will have had only a handful of full-contact practices. Since Truckee is located in California, but the team competes in Nevada, the football team is subject to regulations from both states.
Truckee’s league opponents from Nevada are able to have full-contact camps during the summer months, which aren’t allowed in California.
“Most school(s) have already had full contact before we even get to August,” Ivens said. “It puts Truckee at a clear disadvantage.”
The Wolverines open the season in Grass Valley against Bear River at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. From there, the team jumps directly into league play at Fernley at 7 p.m. the following week.
Truckee will play its home opener during week three of the season, squaring off against North Valleys at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7. Truckee will then travel to Churchill County on Sept. 13, for a rematch of last year’s state championship game.

Today, the cloud has quickly become the preferred deployment environment for enterprise applications. This shift to using “other people’s infrastructure” has brought with it tremendous variability in the nature and quality of infrastructure-based data security controls.
At SkyFlok, we offer our customers an easy-to-use web application to store and share data privately across multiple data storage providers across the globe. Skyflok follows a multi-cloud by design approach and a single bill at the end of the month: robust, secure, simple.
SkyFlok spreads your data across multiple cloud providers and does not store or transport your data through SkyFlok servers. We keep your data fully protected and do not let anyone to look into it… even the individual Cloud providers you have selected for storage. Your and your clients’ data is safe and you keep full control over it.
The traditional role of the managed services provider (MSP) has, up until recently, been clearly defined—helping enterprise customers with issues around pre-installed software, internal hardware, and servers has been a niche MSPs have filled for years. However, recent changes in IT have forced MSPs to reevaluate where they fit in the bigger picture of their customer’s IT operations.
This change has been brought about by the huge rise in software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud storage solutions. In its latest quarterly earnings call, Microsoft® announced the number of Office 365® subscribers had jumped to 31.4 million. This number has steadily risen over the years, and will only continue to rise as Microsoft phases out its yearly standalone Office software and ushers customers over to the Office 365 platform.
The common adoption of cloud-first computing and virtualised desktops has changed the playing field for MSPs. This is often seen as a challenge, but it shouldn’t be—instead, MSPs should see such advances in enterprise IT as an opportunity to forge new revenue streams and responsibilities in relationships with their customers.
The cloud opportunity
MSPs might not have a role in distributing and providing a virtualised desktop like Office 365, but they can play a role in managing the software and offering customers specific services that help mitigate the negatives and downsides of whatever SaaS solution they are using.
Using Office 365 as an example, there are multiple areas where MSPs can provide services to improve upon the overall experience and functionality of the software. One key area is storage. By offering customers a strong third-party backup storage solution, MSPs can provide an essential safety net for the limited cloud-based storage Office 365 offers. The potential importance of this is best explained when put into the scenario of a malware attack or virus causing mass deletion of key company files. The recycle bin is empty, and the important documents and files are lost forever. This is, of course, unless you have all your files backed up on to a third-party storage solution—which an MSP can provide.
‘Cloud to cloud storage’, and the increased protection it offers businesses, is a service all modern MSPs should be providing to their customers and leveraging to justify their necessity to an enterprise’s IT operations.
Office 365 can be an expensive option. All IT departments are looking for ways to cut costs, and MSPs can tap into this sentiment by offering some of the same services as Office 365. Customers may want to pay for the Office 365 cloud-based email service but not the full software, and this is where an MSP can come in to provide a more cost-effective backup solution.
Bold steps towards cloud platform management
There are important services MSPs can provide to those customers who are increasingly relying upon SaaS platforms. Yet MSPs require some blue sky thinking in order to shift from the role they traditionally play.
To be an effective advisor, MSPs need to focus on how they can bridge the gap between the end user and the cloud solution they use. By adding cloud monitoring solutions to their portfolios, MSPs can become a crucial partner to support popular enterprise cloud platforms, like Microsoft Azure® or Amazon Web Services™, monitoring and troubleshooting the end user’s technical issues. This emerging ‘middle man’ role between cloud provider and customer is something all MSPs should be examining and adopting if they are to take advantage of the huge numbers of organisations moving to enterprise cloud solutions in the next few years.
But to successfully pivot into forward-thinking and cloud-focused outfits, MSPs must reflect upon their overall business models. Stereotypically, MSPs have focused their efforts on providing solutions based around troubleshooting and improving devices. Going forward, MSPs should shift their attention towards improving the overall experience of the end user. They will only be able to do this if they boast a portfolio of services that grant the ability to administrate cloud services; this will help MSPs actually manage the platforms used by their customers in everyday office life, thus providing a genuinely vital service.
Migrating to managing end-user experiences
Increased enterprise adoption of SaaS and cloud storage solutions shouldn’t strike fear in the hearts of MSPs, no matter how naturally that notion may come. There are plenty of opportunities for MSPs to provide new services to their customers, but taking advantage of these opportunities will depend on the MSP’s ability to adapt their portfolio of services and shift their overall focus from device performance to end-user experience. | <urn:uuid:90e19940-3cfe-48a2-8f7d-9589173b86cc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.skyflok.com/2019/03/01/managing-cloud-migration-and-the-end-user-experience/ | 2020-09-19T04:53:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400190270.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919044311-20200919074311-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94754 | 1,139 |

Having a place for everything and everything in its place "takes the stress out of the mess." For the inevitable mishaps, a very specific routine for cleanup allows the child to be involved and quickly learn the skills. Letting the child be involved in the clean up process encourages autonomy and builds their confidence around toileting. They do as we do, not as we say. The more consistent we are with the environment and routine, the calmer we can go through the process.

The Pistol Grip only shooting system is a revolutionary
The Pistol Grip Only Shooting System transforms the cumbersome shoulder pounding full stock Remington 870 shotgun into a compact, fast, accurate and comfortable weapon while providing the most enjoyable shooting experience possible.
The PGOSS shotgun is specifically designed for the PGOSS method or vice versa, in creating PGOSS sometimes the method came before the gun, it was a back and forth advancement to the final perfection of the Pistol Grip Only Shooting System which was years in the making.
After 10,000 rounds of 12ga. and 100s of Remington 870 prototypes we finally arrived at a weapon system that‘s intuitive, effective and practical. PGOSS counters what all shooters have known for decades that Pistol Grip Only Remington 870 & TAC-14 Shotguns are NOT PRACTICAL, PAINFUL TO SHOOT AND USELESS OVER 10 FEET. We ignored these long held beliefs and were determined to develop a pistol grip only shotgun we could shoot comfortably and accurately. Along the way we had our share of criticism and people that thought we were plain crazy.
What we find so amazing now, even after seeing PGOSS in action people still don’t believe that shooting a 12 ga Remington 870 shotgun like that can be good thing or believe it’s comfortable, and yes we still get called crazy. It’s not until someone experiences PGOSS that they can appreciate and believe this system is everything CRA Combat claims it to be!
Every shotgun shooter we have introduced to PGOSS has been amazed at the comfort, easy handling and accuracy of this system. It is a brand new style of shooting and requires new PGOSS shooters learn the system basics to have a safe and fun experience. In order to have a successful introduction to PGOSS we strongly recommend all new Remington PGOSS shooters follow the training procedure precisely, to ensure a positive, pleasurable and productive shooting experience.
Yes the system is very intuitive but you are learning an entirely new way to shoot a Remington 870 & TAC-14 shotgun, priority is to be safe and build solid fundamentals.
With the dawn of the new Remington 870 TAC-14, the need for a even better pistol grip shotgun design is more apparent! See what we have done to the new TAC-14 here to make it one bad ass shotgun! | <urn:uuid:c1fbe7c9-c33c-4373-8ecb-73acbe049035> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://cracombat.com/pgoss/ | 2020-09-20T14:46:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.936529 | 485 |

This year is different. Gone are the ‘good ole days’ when to be successful here in Calgary, all a business had to do was open their doors. Many of the clients that I speak with that have survived the recession have come out of it with a renewed positivity, a hunger for success and wanting more out of their advertising.
Right now, many of my clients are reviewing their marketing budgets, re-evaluating their past media choices and making some very tough decisions about how to best spend their marketing budgets going forward. Please consider the following article when making your decision. I’m always available to chat at 403-686-9715 or [email protected]
just like James Brown was ‘the hardest-working man in showbiz,’ radio is the hardest-working medium in advertising
Advertising is about creating awareness for a brand or service and in order to do so, consumers must be exposed to an ad. Radio increases opportunities for exposure to ads because it accompanies Canadians throughout the day, reaching them anytime, anywhere
Results from the independent Foundation Research study show that more adults report an increase in time spent with radio and the Internet year-over-year than with any other medium.
The intimate nature of radio has a halo effect for advertisers – RAEL study participants believe that companies advertising on ‘their’ station are trustworthy and interested in speaking to them personally.
busy adults often edit their time spent with TV, print and the Internet; radio listening remains unaffected because it doesn’t demand the listener’s time, and it adapts to their lifestyle. BBM reports that radio reaches 81 percent of adults daily
Typical media costs for radio are one-third that of other major media
A 2005 RAEL study examining the effect of adding radio to TV and newspaper advertising found that unaided brand awareness increased 270 percent when radio was added to newspaper and 34 percent when added to TV.
45 percent of adults said a radio ad had prompted them to search the internet, and 35 percent typed an address into their browser after hearing it on the radio. | <urn:uuid:e567b910-eae4-472e-baf5-5414e5f42de7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://marcbinkley.ca/2010/02/08/james-brown-of-media/ | 2020-09-20T13:24:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962009 | 443 |
Autoimmune disease is a condition wherein the human immune system becomes confused about which tissues in the body are “self” and which tissues are “other.”
This is an all-important distinction. The immune system is designed to attack and remove any tissues that don’t belong. And that is a good thing and is the primary reason we can survive living in an infinite set of external environments and circumstances.
But it is not a good thing when our immune system attacks its own organs or tissues.
What causes this confusion? What can you do about it?
There are many theories of course regarding the causes of autoimmune disease. In general, there are many conditions that cause our tissues to become “sub-standard” or even foreign-looking to our immune system. But not without reason. The human body is not capricious; it simply can not take a course of action for no reason.
And where there is reason, there is always the possibility of “un-winding” those reasons. There is always the possibility of healing and de-burdening the immune system.
Serious illness does not develop overnight or even in a short period of time. It generally takes years for conditions such as autoimmune disease to take root and grow. Poor diet and stressful lifestyle choices accumulate over time, slowly deteriorating the body’s state of health.
The good news is that virtually any condition can respond positively with good nutrition and appropriate lifestyle choices. The important point to remember is that if it takes years to create serious illness in the body, you must also expect it will take a significant amount of time to create wellness in the body.
You can also expect that creating wellness will take significant personal effort in educating yourself about wellness. You will be re-learning how to make your day-to-day choices regarding what you eat and drink, how to relax and rest, how to prioritize your daily obligations, when to exercise, etc. You can expect that the way you spend your days will be changing dramatically, especially during the transition period.
Sherry offers a clinical holistic nutritional counseling package designed to help you begin this transition. This is a program that you can conduct in the comfort of your own home. Of course, there are in-residence program available around the country, so you may also want to evaluate those.
Sherry’s holistic nutritional program is based on a three-phase plan that includes:
• Phase I: Cleansing & Detoxification
• Phase II: Rebuilding
• Phase III: Maintenance
The nutritional counseling package outlined here will guide you through Phase I and introduce you to Phase II. Experience has shown that this is the time that you will want the most help in making these changes. Subsequent appointments can be scheduled as needed to guide you through Phase II and into Phase III.
The nutritional counseling package includes:
• One phone or skype appointment weekly for 6 weeks (6 appointments in total)
• Email support as needed during these 6 weeks
• Two comprehensive blood/urine tests and two hair mineral analysis tests
Appointment time will be used to review your blood and hair tests, to identify food sensitivities and nutritional deficiencies or excesses, to design and monitor your detoxification program, to design your individualized supplementation program, and to begin to introduce you to healthy foods, menus, and recipes that are most appropriate for your bio-chemical individuality.
Contact Sherry for complete program fees. An initial pre-program appointment is available for a one-time cost of $100. This appointment can be used to answer questions you might have and to find out if there is a good “fit” between your goals and Sherry’s.
As you can see, this program requires a significant commitment in time, effort, and finance. Please take time to consider this commitment carefully with your family or other support team members before you begin the program. It is not always easy to make these changes in your lifestyle.
Of course there are no guarantees that changing diet and lifestyle choices alone will reverse the illness processes in the body. In truth, health in general is a much more multi-faceted process that includes our non-physical wellbeing as well as our physical choices. Emotional, psychological, spiritual, relational, social and so many more non-physical components of our lives play a crucial part in our health.
Sherry is of course unable to guarantee outcomes to the program or to give refunds. Additionally, Sherry accepts only one new client every 6 weeks to ensure that she can provide the commitment and support that you will need to achieve your wellness goals. | <urn:uuid:505e4be6-cea8-491b-bb6a-0c985236452f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://sherrydell.com/autoimmune-diseases/ | 2020-09-20T13:29:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94852 | 955 |

My blog will be about current artistic projects that I am working on right now! | <urn:uuid:0a065503-944c-4252-8d47-f6fdce29d482> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://taylordimage.com/blog/2017/02/ | 2020-09-20T13:32:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.95276 | 107 |
Yesterday I stopped by the Malco and picked up our movie tickets for Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. That's right! This family is a bunch of twi-hards. Twilight Saga events have become a full family affair in our house, even L gets in on the action.
In December 2008 GG asked me to take her to see Twilight. She had already read all of the books and was very excited to see how the movie compared, so we went. After watching the movie and not really understanding it I decided to read the books too, and loved them.
In March 2009, I took GG to a Twilight DVD midnight release party and a really early breakfast. I didn't know at the time that this would set a precedence for future events. We got home at 2:30 a.m. and she immediately wanted to watch the (122 minutes long) movie. Sure, why not?! We had a wedding
L and NG had listened to GG and I discuss the books and movie so much they decided to read the books, and they were hooked. They had already seen the movie. After all if I'm going to stand in line 3 hours to buy a movie then everyone in the house is going to watch it at least once.
So now, with the entire family involved, the only thing to do was wait for the next movie to be released. In November 2009 Twilight Saga: New Moon hit theaters. L and I took a vacation day and treated the Girls to the 12:01 a.m. showing and a really early breakfast. Our plans hit a little bump when we discovered Village Inn is only open 24 hours on the weekends. So in the interest of completing our outing as we had originally planned, and to calm the brewing storm of mutiny in the backseat, L and I decided to drive to the opposite end of town and eat at IHOP. What's twenty more minutes at 2:30 in the morning, right? We got home just before 5 a.m..
Four months later I took them to a Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD midnight release party and a really early breakfast. L's niece J joined us that night and we had so much fun we immediately began making plans for her to join us when the next movie was released.
At the end of June 2010 Twilight Saga: Eclipse came to theaters. Since this movie was released during the summer, in lieu of individual birthday parties, the Girls had a "twilight marathon" party. I spent that day fixing hair, applying make-up, and giving manicures to 3 tweens and 2 teens. They spent the day watching the previous movies and giggling. That evening I sprinkled them all with the "vampire glitter" the Girls had won at the last DVD release party and we were off to meet J for the 12:01 a.m. show and a really early breakfast. Once again we got home shortly before 5 a.m., but the girls were kind enough to let me sleep four whole hours before asking me to get up and feed them breakfast, again.
L wasn't able to go with us for the first show, so after taking the party guest home and dropping the Girls at their grandparents for the evening, I met him back at the theatre. I tried to keep my snoring to a minimum so as not to disturb the other movie goers.
Six months later I took the Girls to the Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD midnight release party and a really early breakfast. This time my cousin's wife K came to the party with us, J and her friend A.Z. met up with us a little later and then joined us for breakfast.
Our group continues to expand. What started with GG and I catching an afternoon matinee has now grown to include L, NG, J, K, and J's friend A.D.. So now, with the tickets burning a hole in my wallet, we impatiently await half of the Breaking Dawn. | <urn:uuid:de224089-9e7a-4be5-a03b-ef065fc08a70> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.anaccountofthemiddle.com/2011/10/dawn-is-about-to-break.html | 2020-09-20T14:15:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.985036 | 809 |
|(We don't see this on Magnolia Hill.)|
I found a drink named the Hurricane that tasted like fruit-flavored Kool-Aid on steroids. It was tangy and delicious and made me feel very warm and tingly inside. Some of the humans said the drink was "too strong" for them, but I told them gnomes had a very high metabolism and we didn't notice things such as that. Silly humans. I was able to drink the drink straight down, and insisted on ordering another one.
A little bit after drinking the two Hurricanes, I began to get really warm and talkative. Everything that was being said seemed so funny to me! I made several friends at the restaurant we were hanging out in at the time.
It is a little known fact that gnomes are very musical. Many times when you think you hear the wind whistling in your yard or garden, it is very likely a gnome. I am not bragging, but I was named the most musical gnome at the 2009 Roots That Look Like Elvis Convention held at Natural Bridge, Kentucky. So, naturally, when I saw the band beginning to warm up, I introduced myself as 'Tuck, a gnome from Kentucky, and asked if they minded if I sat in for a song. The lead singer was bit of diva, I suspect he could already spot my talent and was intimidated by me, but he reluctantly agreed after I led the crowd in a rousing C-A-T-S cheer.
He agreed let me sing one song, so I gave it my all and belted out Elvis Presley's "Kentucky Rain." A gnome always tells the truth, so believe me when I say I was a big hit!
|(Maxing and Relaxing)|
|(That's me on the bottom.)|
|(Oh mercy, I am not sure about this.)|
I even tried on a few hairpieces in a wig store. My Uncle 'Tan, from Montana wears sometimes when he attends the Summer Solstice celebration, but I decided it wasn't the look I was going for here in New Orleans.
Finally night fell on Bourbon Street, and according to Keith and Andy, it was party time. I was a little worried about my finances because I had not intended on buying that big sculpture that is pictured above, so I called my cousin, 'Tick, and asked him to wire some money into my account. | <urn:uuid:3a669cf7-03bb-4b47-af3b-8d3b5c28af0d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.astrongmanscupoftea.com/2012/04/tucks-big-adventure-day-two.html | 2020-09-20T14:51:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.987685 | 506 |

Cinemanic Monday: "Well I get claustrophobic sucking strange dick"
Freeway is one of those movies I will love forever. It's a sick and twisted version of Little Red Riding Hood and an absolute must see.

Center Harbor to see over 3 percent budget decrease
January 27, 2010
CENTER HARBOR — Line-by-line reductions and cooperation with department heads account for a 3.11 percent decrease in the proposed operating budget.
Center Harbor's proposed operating budget is $2,139,412. Factoring the $563,872 approved at the 2009 town meeting for the High Haith Bridge project, this year's proposed operating budget shows a 3.11 percent reduction.
A bond article for an even $1.3 is expected to go on the warrant for the proposed police station, making the total proposed budget with that article $3,498,869.
Selectmen said this year's budget was the result of cooperation between the town and department heads.
"It was a nice collaborative effort," said Board Chair Charley Hanson, indicative of the "normally conservative approach" town departments have taken toward the budget.
Hanson said department heads were advised to aim for a level-funded budget.
There were no single reductions that accounted for the budget decrease, only small reductions taken line by line that added up.
"I think our department heads did a really good job," said Selectman Randy Mattson. "They responded and we encouraged them to be very thoughtful with what they do."
Hanson said this year was influenced by being a 52-week pay year instead of the 2009's 53-week year.
Due to large increases in health insurance, Hanson said some costs were shifted back to employees.
Most departments did see some wage increases. An increase in the wages line item for the Fire Department also reflected the nearly 25 firefighters on the roster and more responding to calls. Hanson said three years ago there were closer to eight members of the Fire Department.
Total benefits increased by over $23,000 with $22,000 more budgeted for health insurance and nearly $4,000 more for retirement.
General welfare saw a significant increase due to the economy. Last year $14,000 was budgeted but $23,673 was expended. This year $25,000 is being budgeted.
Costs for heating and custodial services have been combined for the library and other town buildings.
A circuit rider planner is not being budgeted for this year as a town expense. The town has access to a planner through the Lakes Region Planning Commission and was budgeted last year for $12,000, though nothing encumbered. Hanson said there has been less need for a planner as the economy has significantly slowed building. As a result the circuit planner is being factored into the Planning Board budget.
The biggest ticket item on this year's warrant is the $1.3 million bond for the proposed police station. On Feb. 3 a hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. only on the funding and budgeting of the police station. The final informational meeting on the station design will be held on Feb. 18.
The town is looking at creating a series of digital maps for the town in a $25,000 warrant article. The perambulation of town boundaries using GPS to locate markers is on the warrant for $4,400. Hanson said other neighboring towns have expressed interest in possibly contributing toward the project.
The town aims to create an expendable trust fund for energy conservation and improvements following the report on an energy audit by the Jordan Institute. Proposed improvements for town buildings ranged from inexpensive changes to more expensive equipment purchases.
Hanson said there are over $6 million in grants available for energy improvements. The fund is being set up in anticipation of possibly receiving funds that match what is in the trust. Members of the Energy Committee are in the process of writing grants for some funds.
The town is proposing to put an additional $40,000 in the sand/salt storage shed capital reserve fund. Last year $100,000 was put into the fund in anticipation that it would be built in the coming year. Bids, however, came in high and selectmen propose to put an additional $40,000 in the fund to cover the project.
Additionally, $5,000 will be put into a fund to replace self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in the future for the Fire Department. Fire Chief John Schlemmer said the current apparatus is good for another 12 years.
The budget hearing will continue on Feb. 3 at 7:15 p.m. | <urn:uuid:118451ad-75e3-40d2-9d81-ba8385ca3251> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.newhampshirelakesandmountains.com/Articles-c-2010-01-26-150458.113119-Center-Harbor-to-see-over-3-percent-budget-decrease.html | 2020-09-20T13:55:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.975728 | 907 |
Legacy. Tradition. Pride. Friendship. Family. When I think back about my time spent at Texas Woman’s University, particularly my time spent on the gymnastics team at TWU, I think about these things. The legacy of TWU gymnastics is built upon many years of tradition and pride. The girls I competed with are some of my dearest friends...we are family. Many of them I do not see often, if at all anymore. We rarely talk on the phone, although many of us do keep up on facebook. But get us back in a room together and it’s like no time has passed at all.
I had an opportunity to get away and spend some time with these dear women this past weekend, and let me tell you...it was so refreshing! ...And a bit sad and surreal, as we witnessed the end of an era. Our coach, Frank Kuklac is retiring at the end of this season. He started the program 33 years ago has poured his heart and soul into making it what it is today...a USAG Powerhouse, with 9 USAG Collegiate National Championship Titles, two conference championships, numerous all American titles, and a slew of other accolades. Coach Kudlac did not just teach his team about gymnastics, he taught us principles for life. Hard work, perseverance, unity, belief in a system - in your teammates - and in yourself, the pursuit of excellence, poise, integrity...
I am so thankful that in 1995 Coach Kudlac saw potential in me, an inconsistent and inexperienced barely level 10 gymnast, and offered me a spot on the team. I am so so thankful. At that point I had only been competing for 3 years. Most of my experience had been in cheer-leading and tumbling with a year or so taking gymnastics when I was little. I had always loved it. It really was what I was passionate about. I wanted to be Mary Lou. I still remember turning cartwheels down the hallway of a hotel after watching the Olympics and telling my mom THAT is what I want to do!!! But with the cost of classes, our moving to a small town, and my love for school sports, gymnastics was not a realistic option. I spent 7th-9th grade fully immersed in as many school sports as I could possibly be involved in. Volleyball, basketball, track, cross-country, one season of softball, cheer-leading...I loved every minute of it. But my freshmen year, while taking a tumbling class, my heart was drawn back into my love for all-around gymnastics. I was willing to give up everything else and pursue gymnastics full time. When I told my school coaches that I would not be returning to the team my sophomore year they told me I was crazy....”to be good at gymnastics you have to start when you’re little bitty” they would say. “What do you plan to do with gymnastics? And why would you give up a chance at a college scholarship running track for this?” I couldn’t explain it. They were right. It was crazy. I had loved my time playing those sports, but gymnastics was IN me and always had been. I just had to take the chance. I just had to.
Looking back now, I realize just how crazy it was. I had no guarantees I’d be any good, and even if I was decent, there were no guarantees I’d get into college doing gymnastics. I was 15 and couldn’t do a kip on bars...in-fact I scratched bars nearly my entire first season because I couldn’t do the skills necessary in the routine...and once I could do enough of them to compete it was...let’s just say....entertaining! Beam was another tough one. I was so inconsistent (at least that’s the way it felt!). Because I was learning skills so quickly to “catch up” with my age group I didn’t have the time to perfect them like you need to do to be a solid beam worker. But I had floor and vault, and that was enough to keep me going. I was a 16 year old level 6 gymnasts competing with a bunch of 8 and 9 year olds. I meddled a lot that year, simply because there were not many girls competing in my age group! My teammates in high school were great too. There were two other girls that were just a year or two younger than me, and then a slew of little girls that I loved! They were all so supportive and encouraging. My coaches Mary Jane Ousley and Kristi Walters were great too. They kept pushing me ahead towards my goal, expecting great things from me, but helped me be realistic when my experience level didn’t measure up to my expectations. They really laid a quick, solid foundation for my collegiate years.
Okay, I’m not sure how I ended up hijacking this post with my walk down memory lane, but let me just say, that I am so thankful for my years in gymnastics. The friendships, the memories, the life lessons, the character building...it’s all priceless! So THANK YOU to all of you out there who were a part of my gymnastics journey. What amazing memories I have of that time in my life! And thank you Lord for giving me the talent, the desire and passion, and the courage to take the risk!
And now, here are a few shots from my weekend with the girls! And just for grins...a video of a video of my vault and floor routine from Nationals my senior year! (still makes my heart race and my palms sweaty to watch). | <urn:uuid:84b7d5eb-2edc-4037-a06d-c12f6092aab5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.theleventhals.com/2011/02/twu-traditionand-walk-down-memory-lane.html | 2020-09-20T13:32:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.984407 | 1,198 |
Given how things work in the NFL, Cincinnati Bengals fans are still a long way removed from finding out if the team extends one of A.J. Green or Joe Mixon — if not both.
The Bengals hit Green with the franchise tag and got wildly active in free agency before turning around and putting together a well-reviewed draft.
Green’s situation has fallen to the backburner in the public mindshare a bit as a result. But we know the Bengals want to nail down a long-term extension. It’s also safe to presume they’d like to get Mixon extended at a fair price.
But Mixon might have to wait.
A simple line from The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. recently summed it up well: “His deadline comes first. Then they make the call on Mixon.”
The running back was always going to come second behind the star wideout. Granted, that star wideout hasn’t shown he can stay healthy and is over the age of 30. But given the fluctuating impact of the running back position lately, a healthy A.J. Green was always going to register as more important to Joe Burrow’s development.
Granted, as Dehner agrees in his writeup, it’s hard to imagine a long-term agreement with Green happens before the deadline on July 15. He couldn’t get on the field last year and potential summer delays could mean they don’t see him prove he can get back to work and stay healthy before that deadline.
Maybe this all ends up being moot. Green gets an agreeable offer and commits. Mixon settles for a reasonable $8-10 million AAV offer and locks down long-term, too.
But these two items, in particular, are tricker than pretty much anything else the Bengals have done this offseason. Spending big on need in free agency was simple, once committed to. Drafting Burrow was easy.
The only thing easy about the Green and Mixon extensions is knowing Green’s ordeal comes first. | <urn:uuid:beff8143-2f5c-41fe-9f52-60478a6b0ff9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2020/05/07/joe-mixon-waiting-bengals-aj-green-extension/ | 2020-09-20T15:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950549 | 434 |
(WARNING: No naked chicks below.)
– Boxing: Saturday night Jean Pascal’s head split open Chad Dawson’s eye to win a technical decision in the 11th round. Besides the gushing of blood from Chad’s right eye, the other highlight was Jim Lampley excitedly proclaiming “French Canadians love boxing!” as the crowd in Montreal roared approval.
– Soccer, er fútbol: English Premier League debuted this weekend and in preparation the Uni Watch Blog did a run down of every team’s kit. The biggest note, I guess, is Chelsea’s black away kit: (Uni Watch)
“OK, look serious. Now seriouser. More seriouser.“
Liverpool is no longer sponsored by Carlsberg, Everton got rid of the v-neck look, and Arsenal rocked an all yellow kit on Sunday that was horrible. And of course I give on-going props to West Ham United for taking their colors from Chatham Township:
– Alien Obama: “But you’re interpreting it as being Obama. We’re not interpreting it as Obama.” So says Irvin L. Good Jr., the president of Goodtime Amusements. He was talking about this game in Roseta, Pennsylvania:
When reporters pointed out that the presidential seal and the health bill may give the impression it’s Obama, Good replied “you may be right there.” Of course, leave it to someone from out of town to put up a stink. Here’s the whining of a Massachusetts woman:
“We were appalled to find that a shooting game had as its target the unmistakable image of President Obama,” Kathryn Chapman and her family said in a letter in Monday’s editions of The Express-Times. “The message appears to be that if you don’t agree with the president, ‘shoot him.’”
Actually, to me, the message is if you’re at a carnival and there is game called “Alien Attack” and one of the aliens is disguised as our president, ‘shoot him.’ (Boing Boing)
– “If you tax something, you get less of it”: That’s Dr. Mark J. Perry’s mantra over at his Carpe Diem blog. His two examples this week are the average $6.20 tax per pack of cigarettes in New York and “a new U.K. tax rule that imposes a top rate of income tax of 50 percent on athletes, not just on the income earned in the U.K., but also on a proportion of their worldwide sponsorship and endorsement income.” The former was supposed to generate $260 million for the state (sales at most convenience stores were down anywhere from 25 to 45 percent, while non-taxed Native American shops increased sales up to 60%), and the latter has made Usain Bolt and some golfers choose not to compete in the U.K. It’s estimated that Tiger Woods would be taxed £1 million. (Carpe Diem)
– Other sites: For those who think they’ve hit the end of the internet, relax. If you haven’t found Cracked.com yet, then you aren’t there. They recently ran a piece showing how every movie looks the same (especially due to the overuse of teal and orange filters). Also Kissing Suzy Kolber is a decent site, especially on Mondays when they butcher Peter King’s MMQB, Thursdays when they run the Sex/Fantasy Football mailbag, and then, of course, Fridays for Sexy Fridays.
– El Capitan: According to ol’ Wikipedia,”El Capitan is a 3,000-foot (910 m) vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park.” Bardon took this picture and posted it on his photography site: (Andy Bardon Photography)
– FLIP: This is the name of a ship that “flips” into a stable platform. It was built by scientists in the 60s. Really? The 1960s and the best name you got is FLIP? Creative name, guys: (Core77)
– Breath test could reveal cancer: Still in the early stages, but would mean less cutting and testing to see if you have cancer. Just breath (not toward me, asshole). (Discovery)
– Pop-Tarts World: Comes to Times Square this week, stop by so you can taste Pop-Tarts Sushi, “three kinds of Pop-Tarts minced and then wrapped in a fruit roll-up.” Hey, in internal testing, it was the winner. (NY Times)
– Wanna buy the house from Ferris Bueller? The price recently dropped to $1.65 million for this iconic house: (Core77)
– Oh, Seattle: A woman was “attacked with a bucket of urine, feces and vomit” outside her apartment building in Seattle. Sounds lovely. (Wooten)
– How black people use Twitter: It’s estimated that Twitter’s population is about 25% black (and 51% white). I estimate that trending topics are like 99% black. This guy from Slate.com agrees (well, maybe he doesn’t agree, but he does explain how black people do this while white people do that).
– More love for FiOS: Verizon FiOS will be getting the first NFL 3D broadcast on September 2nd. Of course the Giants are the team they choose (and some other team that once went 18-1). (Engadget)
– Darkness: Watch this storm creep up on a Finland beach: (Boing Boing)
– Romo’s Bitch: No, this isn’t about Tony’s new girl or new dog, for that matter, but rather an Air Force pilot’s call sign. The other suggested and rejected call signs were “Fagmeister” and “Gay Boy”. Steve “Romo’s Bitch” Crowston is not amused and thinks the other pilots don’t like him (what gave him that impression?).

A Florida staycation turns out to be the best of all, particularly in the metro areas of Orlando and Tampa. Both rank in the top five destinations for the best stay-at-home vacation in the US. The two areas, popular for both relocation and holidays in the US, bring together all the right ingredients for the perfect staycation.
A recent survey by WalletHub ranked 150 metro areas in the US in terms of how staycation friendly they are. Taking into account recreation facilities, food and entertainment, and opportunities for rest and relaxation, the survey revealed the best place to take a holiday at home.
Florida Staycation no surprise
Given that Florida ranks among the world’s most popular holiday destinations as well as American’s favourite holiday spot, it isn’t surprising to discover the Sunshine State’s high ranking in the staycation list. The state received a record number of domestic visitors in 2017 and figures for Q1 this year promised more of the same.
Orlando sits at the top of the best places for a staycation in the US with the highest ranking nationwide. With a total score of 63.66, Orlando easily beats its nearest rival, Chicago. Known as America’s theme-park capital, Orlando takes first position in the food and entertainment category. For recreation, the metro area comes in 13th place and for rest and relaxation, 20th.
Slightly further down the list with 58.80 points, but still in the top five is Tampa. This metro area on the coast takes third place for rest and relaxation, and 15th for both recreation and food and entertainment. Also in the top five for the best staycations in the US are Chicago, San Diego and Seattle.
Orlando staycation has it all
As well as a seemingly endless list of theme parks, Orlando comes out top for several other facilities in the recreation category. Orlando ties in first place with Cincinnati and Scottsdale for the highest number of public golf courses per capita.
It shares the top position for zoos and aquariums with Miami, another favourite Florida staycation spot. In the rest and relaxation, Orlando joins Fort Lauderdale, New York, Honolulu and Las Vegas in the top position for the most spas.
In the food category, Orlando ranks at the top for ice cream parlours along with New York and Las Vegas. No Florida locations feature in the top rankings for beer gardens (dominated by New York and Houston) or coffee and tea shops, a category ruled by New York and metro areas in California.
Ingredients for best staycation
The WalletHub survey also asked a panel of experts to give their opinion on the top things to consider when looking at the best place for a staycation. Among the main recommendations were the following:
Stay nearby – the majority of experts recommended that a staycation should involve travelling no more than an hour to visit attractions. Both Orlando and Tampa have prime scenery and attractions within an hour’s drive of their metro areas.
Outdoor activities – the experts are unanimous that being able to do things outside makes for a successful holiday at home. Florida staycations come up trumps here too since the state has stunning coastal and everglade scenery within easy reach of most metro areas. Tampa enjoys proximity to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beaches and Orlando lies a short drive away from several attractive beaches including Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach.
“A significant proportion of tourism in the Sunshine State comes from in-state visitors, meaning Florida staycations are popular and important for the economy,” comments Dies Poppeliers, Managing Director of BRIC Group. “Staycation clients are therefore worth bearing in mind when buying a property in Florida with the view to using it for holiday lets.”
BRIC Group, an investment company specialising in global real estate opportunities, offers US real estate investments including turnkey properties in Florida and Houston, and land plots in Florida. BRIC Group is also developing The Coral resort, in Northeast Brazil, a luxury beachfront resort with land and villa investment opportunities. BRIC Group has been creating wealth for its clients since 1996 and has offices in Brazil, Dubai (consulting office), Hungary, Spain and the US. | <urn:uuid:286ff36b-9615-4aba-8b44-a6d0b99e4b31> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bric-investment.com/florida-staycation/ | 2020-09-20T14:45:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.932612 | 867 |

A WARM WELCOME!!!!
Lived Experience Network Facilitator for South East Ontario
We are pleased to announce and welcome Vicky Willis to the position of Lived Experience Facilitator for South East Ontario.
We believe in order to create meaningful services and supports; the voice of those using these services must be heard. The Lived Experience Network is a joint initiative with Providence Care, the Alzheimer Societies of South East Ontario, and the people living the dementia care journey. To date there have been over 900 people with lived experience involved in advisory conversations. We would like to acknowledge the tremendous work of Sharon Osvald in starting the Lived Experience Network in 2013 and wish her well in her new role with the Alzheimer Society Hastings, Prince Edward. Sharon will be working with Vicky as she transitions into the role of Lived Experience Facilitator.
Vicky is originally from Toronto and attended St Lawrence College Kingston for Fashion Design. While in Kingston, Vicky met her husband Jeff who at the time was attending the Royal Military College. Vicky and Jeff were married in 1986 and have two daughters (29 & 26). With Jeff’s military career they lived in many places throughout Canada and spent 2 years in Germany on the Rhine with the British Army. Vicky has worked in a variety of positions with the most recent as an Administrator in an Addictions clinic after pursuing an accelerated degree in Health Information Management.
In 2010, Jeff was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Lobe Dementia at the age of 47 and lived at home for 4 years with Vicky as his main partner in care. With increasing concerns for Jeff’s safety and well-being, Vicky was faced with the difficult decision to transition Jeff into a Long Term Care Home. Jeff remained in Long Term Care for 4 more years and passed away May 1, 2018. Vicky has participated in support groups with the Alzheimer Societies in both Kingston and Leeds & Grenville. In addition, Vicky facilitated a support group in Gananoque for 2 years. In 2014, Vicky was one of four people in Ontario to win the Heart of Home Care Award, being recognized for her extraordinary efforts caring for her husband enabling him to live at home for as long as possible!
Vicky and Jeff’s journey with frontotemporal lobe dementia; Vicky’s passion to hear the voices of lived experience; and her commitment to improve the system of care by having conversations that matter will be invaluable as she assumes the role of Lived Experience Facilitator. Vicky transitions to her new role on November 26, 2018.
Please join us in welcoming Vicky and we look forward to your ongoing participation in the South East Lived Experience Network!

American women’s soccer players want to delay a trial until after an appellate court reviews last week’s decision to throw out their claim of unequal pay while allowing allegations of discriminatory work conditions to move forward.
Lawyers for the women filed a motion Friday night asking U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner in Los Angeles to enter a final judgment on his decision to dismiss their pay claim, which would allow them to take the case to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
Players asked Klausner to stay the trial, currently set to start June 16. The U.S. Soccer Federation agreed not to oppose the requests but did not agree with some of the characterizations made by the players’ lawyers.
Soccer Federation agreed not to oppose the requests but did not agree with some of the characterizations made by the players’ lawyers.
If Klausner signs the order, a trial probably would be delayed until 2021 at the earliest. That would allow more time for settlement negotiations under new USSF President Cindy Parlow Cone — a former national team player — and for talks on a labor deal to replace the collective bargaining agreement that expires on Dec. 31, 2021.
“Equal pay means paying women players the same rate for winning a game as men get paid. The argument that women are paid enough if they make close to the same amount as men while winning more than twice as often is not equal pay,” Molly Levinson, spokeswomen for the federation’s refusal to put equal pay on the table is not a legitimate reason for continuing to discriminate against them.”
If Klausner enters a final judgment on the thrown-out claims, his ruling would be reviewed by a three-judge panel. The 9th Circuit says civil cases take about 12-to-20 months from the filing of the notice of appeal until oral argument, and another 3-to-12 months in most cases between oral argument and a decision.
“Allowing an appeal to proceed to the 9th Circuit now would conserve resources for both the parties and the court and could accelerate the ultimate resolution of this dispute,” the players’ lawyers wrote in their filing. “Allowing an appeal now would also avoid the risk of needing to conduct a second trial involving the same trial participants, in the event that the dismissal is reversed.” | <urn:uuid:6c71932d-bd8b-493d-8e72-1f659c913f54> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://discernsport.com/2020/05/09/us-female-soccer-delayed-appeal-for-appellant-court/ | 2020-09-20T14:34:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.977556 | 493 |
Are Nassau & Suffolk County Divorce Courts ‘Stacked’ Against Men?
As a Long Island Divorce Attorney, I represent a number of men who, when first coming to my office, believe that they are going to get the proverbial “short end of the stick” in their divorce. I tell them that the law is neutral, and that what they believe is simply not the case. Here are some tips for men to help them through the process.
Tips to Help Men in a Long Island Divorce
- Go in with the right attitude. Most men seem to feel that divorce is similar to a lawsuit. The truth is, the men who approach the situation like a business negotiation are typically the ones who achieve the best results. No one ever “wins” a divorce and going in with this mentality ultimately hurts you in the long run. Your divorce should be about making sure both sides receive a fair outcome. To Nassau and Suffolk County Courts, marriage is nothing more than a contract, and divorce is the dissolution of that contract, therefore, you must treat the process as such.
- Protect your financial security. Close any joint bank accounts and credit cards you may have with your partner. If there is a significant income disparity between you and your wife, with hers being less than yours, there are ways to lessen the gap. For example, if your wife doesn’t work, get an evaluation of the wife’s potential workforce value. Another way to protect your financial interests is to hire a CPA to take advantage of any tax deductions during the divorce. Insisting that a part of your child support payments go to the child’s college savings account is another good idea.
- Finally, and arguably the most important point, is do not go it alone. Trying to handle your divorce pro se typically leads to disastrous results for men. Even divorce attorneys don’t handle their own divorce. There is a good reason for the old saying, “the lawyer who represents himself has an idiot for a client”. Divorce is an emotional legal case and even attorneys who know the ropes can’t be objective in their own case. You may be a genius, but you don’t stand a chance against your wife’s objective attorney if you try to represent yourself. The benefits of having a lawyer work through your divorce are monumental compared to doing it alone. Lawyers have done many divorces before, they’ve seen almost everything and your divorce is not the first of its kind for whoever you hire. They also likely know the other attorney, the judge, the Nassau County of Suffolk County Court officers, clerks and everyone else who will be involved in your case. Make sure you get an experienced attorney you can trust who will look out for your best interests.

Washington DC is a place where you can find exciting activities happening in the city all year round. There is so much to do—Smithsonian museums, long drives to Shenandoah, visiting Great falls or be part of activities happening on the street.
I have lived in Washington, DC for about 2 years now and never took advantage of this place’s offerings. I got busy with college, assignments, and visiting other sites. After leaving DC in January and finally being back after 7 months, I have made a deal with myself to do everything that DC has to offer. Let’s see how the plan works out.
It was my first weekend back in DC and my friends and I decided to go for Kayaking at the Potomac River. Although the temperature was 93 ℉, the weather was enjoyable due to the cloud covering. There are various places in DC where you can go for kayaking such as Potomac River, National Harbor, Great Falls Park, Chesapeake Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. These places offer Kayaking only during summers, typically from April to August, but do check the website before going. We rented out a paddle boat for two from Key bridge boating . It costed us $22, that included a life jacket. You can pay $5 extra to get a locker your belongings. Do keep in mind that you are bound to get wet, at least your lower half, so it will be wise to carry some extra pair of pants/shorts.
At first, I was scared because the boat was small and looked so lanky that it seemed as if it will capsize at any moment. But my friend kept on reassuring me that nothing is going to happen( she had done it already 😎). After 10 minutes, I was in full rowing mode, and we started having a small race amongst ourselves. The weather was amazing. The cold breeze was flowing, and it felt like 70 ℉. After rowing for half an hour, we just held on to our paddles and sat there in our kayak listening to music and enjoying the view.
We were in our kayak for about an hour, of which we rowed for about 45 minutes. It is a good arm workout as it requires a lot of effort, so either be prepared to exercise or just sit with someone who can 😋. To get some rest we would just leisurely sit still and let the waves take us wherever they wanted.

I watched the above video recently, after a friend sent me the link. Sir Ken Robinson makes many keen observations about the public school system that leaves me, once again, wondering not only about my education and how it affected my current success, but also about what to do about my son’s education. There are too many reactions to the whole presentation swimming around in head for me to embark on an intelligent discussion of it now, but I did find myself clinging to one small piece that is worthy of discussion now.
How many uses can I think of for a paperclip?
I remember discussing this years ago in a Spanish linguistics class. Apparently, it was once believed that bilingual children were not as intelligent as children who spoke only one language. Then, a new study was done in which kids representing these two groups were asked to list as many uses for a paperclip as they could. It was found that the bilingual kids came up with many more options. Essentially, bilingual kids were better divergent thinkers.
After watching the video and thinking back to the discussion in my Spanish class, I got to thinking once again. I wasn’t interested in the number of uses for a paperclip. Instead, I was interested in the most fascinating, odd, and entertaining. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
- Appetizer stabber – Fold up one end and leave the rest flat. Use the flat part as the base and the folded up end to stab into a small morsel, such as an olive.
- S’mores roaster – Straighten one end and put a mini marshmallow on it. Hold the rest of the clip and place the marshmallow over a bunsen burner.
- Closing portals – In season five of Buffy, they could have thrown a paperclip into the portal instead of Buffy. Clearly it didn’t matter what went into the portal since Buffy was able to close it even though she wasn’t the key. (Did anyone else think that didn’t make any sense?)
Can you think of some wacky ways to use a paperclip? | <urn:uuid:af2bc765-4077-4137-9b21-3a7671d63b74> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://katiebonn.com/2010/10/28/uses-for-a-paperclip/ | 2020-09-20T13:54:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.977404 | 440 |

So that’s the landing page builder part of Leadpages … however it also consists of a few other “lead” branded features. These are:– Custom designed pop-up kinds that you can show automatically or based on a user’s actions. You can even connect a button that you create in the landing page creator to a Leadbox to easily create a conversion-boosting two-step opt-in.– These enable you to sign up existing subscribers to a deal in.
This one is a bit more niche– but it allows your leads to choose in to your email list or webinar through their cellphones and automated text (Buy Fake Price). While the landing page developer is still the core worth, these smaller additions can assist you do some neat things and likewise integrate well into the landing page home builder.
We’ll cover this function later in the evaluation. Now that you know what to anticipate on a theoretical level, let’s make this Leadpages evaluate a little bit more…hands-on. That is, I’ll actually take you through the user interface, offer you my thoughts, and inform you how you can use Leadpages’ functions to your own business requirements.
They likewise provide you a choice to change to the old editor (rather than the new editor). While it’s good to have the flexibility, the older experience is inferior to the redesigned editor, so I suggest that you always stick to the default templates. Buy Fake Price. However due to the fact that I think among the significant worths of Leadpages is the template library, I’m going to demo modifying among the totally free templates for this evaluation: Fun fact– this design template is quite comparable to the template utilized on.

If you have actually ever utilized a WordPress page builder, you should feel right in the house in the Leadpages editor. On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a live sneak peek of what your page will appear like. And on the left sidebar, you can gain access to:– These are the foundation of your page.
While it’s not 100% free-form like the Instapage contractor, it’s pretty flexible. For instance, to move a component, you just drag it to a brand-new spot: And you can likewise use drag and drop to resize column widths: All in all, everything is quite user-friendly and, most notably, code totally free.
If you’re developing landing pages, you’re probably planning to put a minimum of one call to action (CTA) on the landing page, right? A minimum of I hope so! Smart use of a CTA button is a necessary part of landing page optimization. Due to the fact that it’s so essential, I wish to offer you a bit of a deeper look at Leadpages’ widget.
They let you set the: Typeface and font sizeButton and text colors But the outermost options unlock some intriguing alternatives. First, by clicking the button on the left, you unlock the ability to quickly switch in between different style styles: While not a huge offer, this makes it much easier to create trendy buttons without requiring to understand a heap about design.
Buy Fake Price
This is a function that I like in Thrive Designer, so it’s terrific to see it make a look in Leadpages too. Second, the hyperlink button doesn’t just let you pick a URL to send the button to– it likewise allows you to quickly link to another Leadpage or a Leadbox that you’ve developed: This is incredibly helpful due to the fact that you can utilize it to easily create two-step opt-ins, which are an effective method to increase your conversion rate.
Leadpages makes the technique easy. And it’s also flexible since you can customized design each and every one of your popups utilizing the same drag and drop editor (more on these later on in the evaluation). Another thing that you’re probably going to wish to do on your landing pages is to show some kind of form, right? With the Leadpages widget, you get detailed control over all of the types on your landing pages.
This is a relatively recent addition that lets you accept payments through Stripe provide digital items: Generally, this widget lets you use your Leadpages and Leadboxes to offer things like: eBooks or other digital productsTickets to an event (like a private webinar) And Leadpages even has strategies to integrate upsells and downsells, though those functions are still on the roadmap.
To assist you determine that, Leadpages provides you a quickly available responsive sneak peek in the top right of the editor: This brings me to one little criticism, however. You can’t actually design your page according to the responsive settings, which is something that Instapage lets you do. While Leadpages is respectable at making your designs responsive, some extra control here would be good.
Buy Fake Price
Leadpages provides you a heap of different options to do that, consisting of a dynamic HTML choice that need to work for most sites. However here’s what I actually like: With this plugin, all you require to do is log in to your Leadpages account from your WordPress control panel and after that you can rapidly import Leadpages material as needed: What are specifically nice here are the additional features that let you: Use your Leadpage as a welcome gate (the very first page any visitor will see)Cache your Leadpages to use better efficiency and page load times (this doesn’t work if you’re running split tests, though) Mentioning split testing … Leadpages makes it simple to spin up brand-new split tests right from your dashboard: Once you click that button, you’ll be able to select your control page and after that add various screening variations as required.
Finally, while you can constantly incorporate Leadpages with third-party analytics tools, Leadpages also consists of an analytics tab that gives you a fast appearance at the traffic and conversion rate for all of your landing pages: While you’ll still probably wish to utilize a more comprehensive analytics service, these are helpful for getting a peek at the health of your landing pages.
That’s the functionality that you saw above. Nevertheless, in early 2019, Leadpages introduced a new product that lets you apply the exact same design of builder to develop your entire site. Yes– similar to Squarespace and Wix– you can develop whole standalone sites utilizing Leadpages. I won’t go rather as deep here due to the fact that the real structure experience is quite comparable to what you saw above with landing pages.
Then, all you need to do is tailor them to meet your needs: And the best part is that you’ll still be able to place all the other conversion-boosting Leadpages functions. Speaking of … As I have actually already discussed a couple of times, Leadboxes are popups that you can either set off instantly or based on a particular action (like a visitor clicking a button).
Buy Fake Price
You can activate it by a: Plain text linkButton linkImage linkTimed popupExit intent popup What’s nice is that through these choices, you can quickly incorporate a Leadbox in content that isn’t a Leadpages landing page. For example, you can use the plain text link to include a two-step opt-in in a routine WordPress post or page, which gives you a great offer of flexibility.
Or, you might likewise know these as notification bars. You can now create eye-catching, responsive bars that you can utilize to: Promote offersDrive signups (e (Buy Fake Price).g. to a webinar)Grow your e-mail list To get begun, you can select from among the premade designs and tailor the text: Then, you can publish your alert bar on both landing pages/sites that you have actually developed with Leadpages, in addition to standalone sites built with another tool (like WordPress).
And you’ll also get access to the same fantastic analytics to track your bar’s success. The only thing I ‘d like to see added is the capability to A/B test your alert bars, as you do not appear to have that choice right now. This feature is brand-new, however, so ideally A/B testing is available in the future! Finally, I desire to round out the hands-on section of my Leadpages review with a take a look at two smaller sized features: You most likely won’t depend on these as much– however they let you do some pretty cool things.
This is convenient for, state, sending an e-mail blast to your customers about an approaching webinar. Rather than needing customers to enter their information again, you can simply sign them up as quickly as they click the link. Less friction means greater conversions! Leaddigits lets you do something similar but with text messages.

Leadpages begins at $25 per month, billed each year. The least expensive strategy does not consist of: A/B testingLeadboxesThe payment widgetLeaddigits or Leadlinks If you desire those features, or some other more advanced functions, you’ll be looking at among the costlier strategies which begin $48/month (billed annually). Keep in mind: their pricing & functions do change from time-to-time so it’s worth checking their prices page for the most current.
Not all functions are included in the cheapest tier, that makes the expense even pricier if you want to do things like A/B test pages. Performance wise, I think Leadpages is great. It’s definitely a more powerful experience than a WordPress page home builder. The only confounding factor is its rate, which is pretty hefty in contrast to a WordPress page builder solution.
You simply need to make sure that those features are producing a good ROI for you, either in regards to increased income or time conserved. You do not need to guess, though–, so you can register and see if the additional features are worth the added expense. This post contains affiliate links. I ran into some issues with it, however absolutely nothing that destroyed projects for me. Just be prepared to eliminate a bit with the editor from time to time. The basic templates really can’t be modified at all despite the fact that they claim they can. You’re better off utilizing a drag-n-drop one.
It’s the finest landing page builder readily available in 2019. If you’re a business that needs to develop landing pages for lead magnets, unique free gifts, routine promos, or essentially any other function, Leadpages is the best choice. You can develop customized landing pages complete with banners and pop-ups in minutes and then release them live with no coding or style knowledge (Buy Fake Price).

From there, no other landing page creator equals its extended functions and analytics integrations. Yes, the editor has some quirks, and yes, the tool is pricey for the sophisticated features. However what do you anticipate for an entire suite of marketing tools? If it were cheap, it would not be good.
Leadpages is among the most popular landing page builders for little and medium-size services. Calling itself “the most reliable, budget friendly way for little companies to get in touch with an audience, collect leads, and close sales,” Leadpages assures to help you build landing pages, pop-ups and alert bars easily (Buy Fake Price). In fairness, that makes Leadpages sound like practically every other landing page builder on the market.
Prior to we look at just how much Leadpages is going to cost you and what you can do with it, let’s dive right into the pros and cons of this platform. We’re basing these on our experiences with alternative platforms such as Unbounce and Instapage. AffordableEasy to useCreate landing pages quicklyFilter design templates by greatest conversion rateSolid integration optionsNo traffic limitationsNo enterprise optionLack of customisationSluggish drag-and-drop builderLimited A/B testing on Basic planLimited type optionsEssentially, you get a huge quantity of landing page design templates and Leadpages is usually really simple to use.
Regretfully, this isn’t the case and you require to use Leadpages’ drag-and-drop home builder to get highly customisable results. This in itself would not be a major problem either but the builder is rather slow and this detracts from an otherwise easy-to-use platform. There are some nice functions therein, however– like the reality you can filter design templates in order of their conversion rate (based upon Leadpages’ information) and the optional pop-ups and alert bars.
Buy Fake Price
There’s no option for enterprise brand names but this platform truly isn’t targeted at bigger services at all. There are three various payment designs with Leapages, allowing you to pay monthly, annually and on a 2-year basis– each option offering a lower comparable rate point. If you compare that to Unbounce (plans begin at $79/mo) and Instapage (plans start at $99/mo), Leapages clearly intends to offer smaller sized companies a cheaper option.
In regards to features, Leadpages loads a lot into its platform for a sensible rate. The only complaint I have is the reality you don’t get unrestricted A/B screening on the Requirement variation, in spite of the truth you can develop unlimited landing pages. Yes, the business needs to separate its strategies however reserving this necessary feature for its more expensive plans mostly cancels out the price advantage over Unbounce and Instapage.
With Unbounce, for example, you’re limited to 500,000 distinct visitors each month and you’ll need to sign up to the enterprise variation for anything more than that. You don’t have this limitation with Leadpages, which is fantastic if you have a great deal of traffic pertaining to your site. In real life practice, however, really few of the small companies Leadpages is targeting will produce more than 500,000 special visitors on a regular monthly basis.
Obviously, Leadpages’ primary function is a landing page home builder and you’ll recognize with the overall process if you’ve ever utilized a tool like this or a theme-based CMS like WordPress. Basically, you pick your design template, add your content and you’re basically good to go. Leadpages has a huge library of templates to select from as well.
Buy Fake Price
I still believe Leadpages has some capturing up to do however its design template styles have actually definitely enhanced in current years.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp starting to launch a day early, servers down at the moment
Posted on November 21, 2017 by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was originally slated to be released tomorrow, November 22nd. However, it seems like Nintendo has decided to release the game a day early. It should now available both on the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store in most countries. Check your respective store on your mobile device to see if you can download the app.
However, you can’t actually play the game right now. It seems like either the servers are down for maintenance at the moment or are buckling under the heavy load of everyone trying to access them at the same time, as you can’t currently get past the title screen without getting a communication error.
We will keep you updated once the game can actually be played. | <urn:uuid:858a3b32-d93c-438c-bbfc-0c2646f006ac> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://nintendoeverything.com/animal-crossing-pocket-camp-starting-to-launch-a-day-early-servers-down-at-the-moment/ | 2020-09-20T14:46:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.958849 | 187 |

Can cord blood cure leukemia?
Yes, stem cell transplants with cord blood have been used to cure both children and adults with leukemia since the early 1990's. To date, there have been over 35,000 cord blood transplants world-wide, and most of them were for leukemias and other blood disorders (Ballen Verter Kurtzberg 2015). A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in Sept 2016 compared cord blood transplants versus bone marrow transplants for leukemia patients. The two groups had comparable survival post-transplant, but the cord blood patients tended to live longer and most importantly the cord blood patients were less likely to relapse.
The important caveat is that children with leukemia or another blood disorder must receive a cord blood transplant from a donor, NOT their own cord blood. It turns out that when children and even adolescents develop leukemia, they were born with the genetic defect that triggered the leukemia... hence it is not safe to give them a transplant with their own cord blood because it probably carries the mutation for leukemia.

It’s true that Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden have different things they like to emphasize when they talk about foreign policy on the campaign trail, but they have substantive differences, too. It seems like only the former distinction was of any interest to Sydney Ember and Katie Glueck when they wrote this piece for the New York Times. The article goes into a lot of detail about Biden’s pitch that he’s best prepared to serve as commander-in-chief and Sanders’ pitch that he has a consistent record of opposing our ill-fated adventurism in the Middle East. These are both important considerations for Democratic primary voters and caucus-goers. But the headline of the piece says: Biden and Sanders Differ on Foreign Policy. They’re Happy to Tell You So. On that score, the article never delivers.
At the heart of our current problems with Iran is President Trump’s disdain for the The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. The agreement was the crown jewel of the Obama-Biden administration’s foreign policy. Ever since Trump decided not to respect the agreement’s provisions, tensions with Iran have been on the uptick, and now they have exploded in spectacular fashion with the president’s decision to assassinate Qassim Suleimani.
Most analysts now believe that the JCPOA is dead and cannot be revived, but it’s important to know whether Biden and Sanders agree with this assessment. It’s also important to know what they plan to do with the American troops who are presently in the region. With Trump’s brash act, he not only convinced the Iraqi parliament to vote unanimously, 170-0, to ask us to leave their country, but he also made certain that there are no longer any groups in Iraq (or Syria) that can be trusted to protect and ally with our soldiers. Having disempowered the Sunnis by overthrowing Saddam Hussein, America was heavily dependent on the Kurds. But Trump abandoned them and demonstrated that we are not a reliably ally. The Shiite militias are now hellbent on revenge. Our troops are still (somewhat) welcome and safe in some Sunni-run areas like Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the U.A.E., and Saudi Arabia but not in Iraq or Syria.
If we beat a retreat, the allies we still have will see us as largely useless and look to China and Russia for arms and protection. For this reason, the temptation will be strong to decapitate the Iranian government, and not only to maintain our relevancy and influence. The collapse of the nuclear agreement and Iran’s decision not to abide by uranium enrichment prohibitions means that a nuclear-armed Iran could become a reality in short order. The pressure to avoid that development will be immense, and without any obvious way to get Iran’s leadership back to the bargaining table, regime change will look to many like the most prudent option. That’s certainly what Iran hawks like John Bolton, Mike Pence, and Mike Pompeo are counting on. Whether they get their wish or not on their own watch, a future Democratic administration will face the same conundrum with the same limited options. Do Biden and Sanders differ in how they’d approach this?
I suspect they do differ, but there’s no effort to delve into this in the New York Times article.
It’s tempting to say that these are mostly problems of Trump’s own making and that he should be the one to come up with solutions. The administration Biden served left a solid internationally-backed nuclear non-proliferation treaty in effect, and relations with Iran were warmer than at any time in the recent past. Trump destroyed all that, and he should take all the blame for where we are in the region today.
But I doubt that a Democratic presidential candidate will have the luxury of looking solely through the rearview mirror. They must explain how they’ll salvage something from this mess. If their plan is to disengage from the Middle East, they’ll have to explain why we can live with a nuclear Iran, or a Syria dominated by Russia, or the loss of Sunni allies to the Chinese or Russian orbit. That won’t be an easy sell, and it will be harder if Iran engages in retaliatory acts that shock and terrorize the American public.
On the other hand, the public is weary of military action in the Middle East and Central Asia, and a candidate who seeks to maintain or even escalate our presence there will have to explain why it won’t amount to more of the same. I believe Biden and Sanders have stark differences on these issues, and they will probably come to the fore in the coming weeks. The other major candidates will fall, more or less, on one side of this divide or the other.
One risk is that no one has any good answers. Another risk is that the side that is convincing to Democratic voters is ultimately unconvincing to the general electorate. The people will be pulled between dovish and isolationist impulses and a desire to be protected from a genuinely scary set of developments. The scarier things get, the less likely it will be that the dovish side wins out.
However things shake out, the best way forward has little to do with simplistic dichotomies between hawks and doves or interventionists and isolationists. It will require a complex vision for how to redirect America and its role in the world at a time of real peril. I don’t know that either Biden or Sanders are known for new and innovative thinking.
Everyone can agree that Trump made this mess and should be tossed out of office with extreme prejudice. But what else can we agree about? | <urn:uuid:43bead86-d58d-4897-801a-952475d3cbc6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://progresspond.com/2020/01/06/the-democrats-need-forward-looking-thinking-on-iran/ | 2020-09-20T13:47:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.955551 | 1,193 |

Facilitating adaptation of biodiversity to climate change: a conceptual framework applied to the world’s largest Mediterranean-climate woodland

School of Natural Sciences / Centre for Ecosystem Management
The importance of ecological management for reducing the vulnerability of biodiversity to climate change is increasingly recognized, yet frameworks to facilitate a structured approach to climate adaptation management are lacking. We developed a conceptual framework that can guide identification of climate change impacts and adaptive management options in a given region or biome. The framework focuses on potential points of early climate change impact, and organizes these along two main axes. First, it recognizes that climate change can act at a range of ecological scales. Secondly, it emphasizes that outcomes are dependent on two potentially interacting and countervailing forces: (1) changes to environmental parameters and ecological processes brought about by climate change, and (2) responses of component systems as determined by attributes of resistance and resilience. Through this structure, the framework draws together a broad range of ecological concepts, with a novel emphasis on attributes of resistance and resilience that can temper the response of species, ecosystems and landscapes to climate change. We applied the framework to the world’s largest remaining Mediterranean-climate woodland, the ‘Great Western Woodlands’ of south-western Australia. In this relatively intact region, maintaining inherent resistance and resilience by preventing anthropogenic degradation is of highest priority and lowest risk. Limited, higher risk options such as fire management, protection of refugia and translocation of adaptive genes may be justifiable under more extreme change, hence our capacity to predict the extent of change strongly impinges on such management decisions. These conclusions may contrast with similar analyses in degraded landscapes, where natural integrity is already compromised, and existing investment in restoration may facilitate experimentation with higher risk options. | <urn:uuid:20d9f316-6a4c-4364-a24d-aa8a33eddfc8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ecuworks2012/490/ | 2020-09-20T14:16:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.854163 | 396 |
National Art Gallery's First Children's Book-Salted Fish
The National Art Gallery will be organizing two events at the Singapore Art Museum for children aged four to seven from November to December. The events are based on the National Art Gallery’s first children’s book – Salted Fish.
The National Art Gallery will be organizing an event at the Singapore Art Museum for children aged 4 to 7 this school holiday. This event is based on the National Art Gallery’s first children’s book – Salted Fish.
The book was inspired by Singapore’s most heralded artist Cheong Soo Pieng’s iconic painting, “Drying Salted Fish”. The book, Salted Fish, seeks to allow children in this age group to appreciate Soo Pieng’s painting through the adventures of a young girl named Lynn and her favourite toy, Cotton.
In the book, Lynn is on her first visit to an art museum when she discovers something strange about an important painting by a famous artist in Singapore. The National Art Gallery invites you to learn more about this story and how art touches the life of a child at its event, ‘Conversations in the Gallery’.
This free-admission event is held on 2 days at the Singapore Art Museum — Nov 12th and Dec 10th, at 7pm. Join author Yeo Wei Wei and illustrator Ye Shu Fang for a behind the screens discussion on Salted Fish.

For the past few years our homeschool support group has thrown one big birthday bash for all of our members. This year our Debbie did not want any help with the decorating and wanted to surprise us. And she did! Each table was decorated with a month theme.
For the night’s entertainment Jason Lindsey (a homeschool dad, traveling science teacher, and all around nice guy) presented us with a Creation based “Hooked on Science” show. We all loved him. Here’s his link: http://www.hookedonscience.org/

The laughter has barely subsided after England’s tour of India, and yet attention is already being turned to the next visitors to that land. Australia arrive in the country in late February for a four Test series that already promises to fall on the hilarious side of diabolical. Given how badly England did, the question is how much worse might Australia do?
This far out from the series we already feel fairly safe in not only predicting the outcome (Australia to receive the biggest thrashing since the Winchester flower-arranging team beat Harrow by twelve sore bottoms to one) but also the key causes for their humiliation. All of the issues below essentially boil down to the one point: Australia will arrive in India with no preparation whatsoever (a point which we will return to soon) and no idea of how to get on top of their hosts. Instead they’ll be reduced to flailing around, experimenting with all sorts of stupid ideas looking for a winning equation that likely doesn’t exist.
Think Nathan Lyon will be Australia’s first choice spinner in India? Think again. The selectors have no bloody idea, and will likely be juggling several different options right up until the first Test, before probably doing something really stupid like playing Travis Head as their front-line tweaker. Don’t laugh, it’s happened before.
More realistically the position will probably be fought out between Stephen O’Keefe and Lyon, with Jon Holland emerging as a dark horse. None of whom loom as decidedly better options than the other, but being this uncertain about what is probably the most vital position on the subcontinent just underlines how much trouble Australia are really in. And of course, as soon as one looks somewhat underwhelming, they’ll be ejected for one of the guys waiting in the wings.
Having no idea about your spinners is one thing, having no idea about your batting lineup is an entirely different problem altogether. Matt Renshaw has, as far as we can tell after mucking about on Cricinfo for five minutes, never played a single game of cricket on the subcontinent. Usman Khawaja has emerged as one of Australia’s main batsmen, but was rubbish in Sri Lanka, and has done little to dispel doubts over his ability to play spin since. As for who will bat at number six, we’ve absolutely no idea, and suspect neither do the selectors. That’s massive question marks over half of the Australian top six.
At a guess, Shaun Marsh will worm his way back into the lineup somewhere for India, possibly in place of Renshaw, or as a replacement when someone inevitably fails. And whilst we enjoy mocking Australia’s dependence on the Marsh brothers as much as the next cricket blog, he is probably not a bad choice. But that still places an inordinate amount of responsibility in the hands of David Warner and Devereux. Australia will be especially hoping Peter Handscomb can really hit the ground running on his first overseas tour. Because otherwise they’ll be even more stuffed.
Whilst Wade has made himself an easy target since his recall on account of a) being selected largely for his sledging and b) being shit, in India at least it makes some sense. Wade is actually one of the better players of spin Australia could field (although that is saying not much at all) and even if he wasn’t their first-choice ‘keeper we’d inevitably be hearing about him perhaps being selected as a specialist batsman.
Which is all well and good, for what it’s worth, but his keeping to spin is atrocious, and already since his recall his report card has been marked with a litany of dropped catches and missed stumpings. Can you imagine the furore if he misses an easy chance early in a Virat Kohli innings? We can. And it’s amazing.
On Australia’s last tour of India, James Pattinson did fairly well, taking 9 wickets at 27. This time around he has almost begged the selectors not to pick him. Cummins is another who won’t go, all part of Cricket Australia’s not so secret plan to unleash him during the following Ashes. That means the two strike bowlers will be Mitchell Starc and JOsh Hazelwood, whose workloads are already causing selectors some serious concerns.
Backup will be provided by some variation of Jackson Bird, Chadd Sayers or whichever flavour of the month happens to have Darren Lehmann’s eye at that moment (right now it’s Hilton Cartwright). None of which sounds terribly promising. If Mitchell Starc can take a bazillion wickets like he did in Sri Lanka, Australia might be in business. Chances are, though, he’ll fall to pieces at some point during the second innings of the First Test. That is if India even need two innings.
Consider a scenario which could potential be approached in two separate ways. In the first, Australia could dig in with the bat to ensure they can put themselves into a position from which it is almost impossible to lose. In the second they could chance their arm and potentially put themselves into a position to win a Test. Australia will always, always choose the second. Think of how India won the fourth and fifth Tests against England, by first putting themselves into a position from which they couldn’t lose, and then turning the screws. Australia can’t do that. Australia won’t do that.
It’s been pretty clear, from the moment their final Test in India finished, what England’s priorities are: the Ashes. A thrashing in the subcontinent can be tolerated as long as it does nothing to harm their chances of retaining the Ashes, and the ECB are certainly not going to make any changes to the English domestic setup that might make them more competitive in the subcontinent if it prejudices that goal.
The same goes for Australia. Maybe even moreso. Nobody will really care if they lose in India. You suspect even the players won’t be bothered too much. If the wheels start to fall off, there will be no gargantuan efforts to turn things around, rather they’ll just careen towards defeat more rapidly. Tests will be over in three or four days, with barely an eye batted. Not when you’ve got the IPL just around the corner, and the Ashes waiting back home. And any outside grumbling will be dismissed with the usual rhetoric of it being necessary for Australia to “push the game forward”.
None of which sounds terribly promising. Unless you like watching Australia lose that is, which, from looking at Twitter, accounts for an awful lot of people out there. All logic would dictate that Australia will be thoroughly and utterly pummeled in India. Which is why we have this strange feeling that it might not turn out that way at all. Call it intuition, call it pure bloody-minded contrarianism, but we have a sneaking suspicion, with Kohli and India suffering through complacency, and Stephen Peter Devereux Smith continuing to score a mountain of runs, Australia might actually get up and win one of the greatest upsets of all time.
Or, you know, maybe they won’t. | <urn:uuid:f24b4695-f618-48db-aba8-1d4c101ded11> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.51allout.co.uk/2017-01-03-button-things-australia-will-get-wrong-india/ | 2020-09-20T13:54:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96568 | 1,522 |
Affectiva’s technology makes use of machine learning, an area of research in which algorithms learn from examples (training data). Rather than building specific rules that identify when a person is making a specific expression, we instead focus our attention on building intelligent algorithms that can be trained (learn) to recognize expressions.
At the core of machine learning are two primary components:
- data: like any learning task, machines learn through examples, and can learn better when they have access to massive amounts of data,
- algorithms: how machines extract, condense and use information learned from examples.
In our paper 2015 paper “Facial action unit detection using active learning and an efficient non-linear kernel approximation” published at the International Conference on Computer Vision Workshops, we describe one algorithmic approach employed by Affectiva for the task of facial expression recognition.
In addition to exploring different types of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) we examine the amount of data needed to train discriminative classifiers we also explore the tradeoff between computational complexity of a model and the accuracy. While some methods can yield high accuracy, it typically comes as a tradeoff with speed. Ultimately the selection of the best model to use will depend on where the model is deployed and the restrictions of that environment. One model might be suitable for running on a cloud server for batch processing and driving our cloud-based APIs, while another model is better suited for being included in our mobile SDK for mobile on-device processing.
This paper presents large-scale naturalistic and spontaneous facial expression classification on uncontrolled webcam data. We describe an active learning approach that helped us efficiently acquire and hand-label hundreds of thousands of non-neutral spontaneous and natural expressions from thousands of different individuals. With the increased numbers of training samples a classic RBF SVM classifier, widely used in facial expression recognition, starts to become computationally limiting for training and real-time performance. We propose combining two techniques: 1) smart selection of a subset of the training data and 2) the Nystr¨om kernel approximation method to train a classifier that performs at high-speed (300fps). We compare performance (accuracy and classification time) with respect to the size of the training dataset and the SVM kernel, using either an RBF kernel, a linear kernel or the Nystr¨om approximation method. We present facial action unit classifiers that perform extremely well on spontaneous and naturalistic webcam videos from around the world recorded over the Internet. When evaluated on a large public dataset (AM-FED) our method performed better than the previously published baseline. Our approach generalizes to many problems that exhibit large individual variability. | <urn:uuid:ea01e76e-705e-4172-82aa-dbf88bbe320d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.affectiva.com/science-resource/facial-action-unit-detection-using-active-learning-and-an-efficient-non-linear-kernel-approximation/ | 2020-09-20T15:07:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.91532 | 543 |
Pumps and Hoses
SMALL TOP AFX PUMP SERIES
Our extensive range of peristaltic hose pumps includes one of the largest pumps of this type in the world. Our 150mm pump has a maximum flow rate of 147m³/hr and can deliver pressures up to 16 Bar. These units are ideal for thickener underflow applications.
AFX also supply hoses for many makes of peristaltic pumps and has the expertise to advise on all piping and system layouts.
AFX PUMP SERIES
The AFX Peristaltic pump range has been designed to be a robust pumping solution for high viscosity, high solids (abrasive), high density slurries and liquids for a wide array of applications and industries including mining, chemical, food and beverage, pulp and paper, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, water treatment and many more. Building on a proven concept our latest development is the AFX PUMP SERIES which was specially adapted to further improve the product’s high performance, durability and low maintenance.
All AFX’s products are designed to deliver exceptional performance, but what sets this pump apart from its competitors is its cost-effectiveness and reliable operation. AFX can demonstrate measurable savings when using the AFX PUMP over that of its competitors, including energy savings and maintenance downtime savings of up to 50% compared to traditional peristaltic hose pumps. The pumps are self-priming, fully reversible, highly durable, easy to maintain, can be run dry for extended periods without damage, and offer flow rates from 40 l/hr to 150 000 l/hr.
The internal workings of each pump comprise of a rotor block with solid rotating rollers. The pumping action results from alternately compressing and relaxing a specially designed high-pressure peristaltic hose between the pump housing and the pump compression rollers to create an airtight pocket. The fluid is pushed along the hose towards the discharge by the compression rollers, creating a positive displacement. The reopening hose behind the roller draws more fluid into the pump through the suction. Due to this method of operation where there is 100% hose closure at all time, the pump is on its own a non-return mechanism. This ensures excellent metering accuracy and reduces the need for additional equipment downstream.
The AFX PUMP SERIES are commonly used in applications where the product to be pumped has a high solids content and/ or viscosity, such as thickener underflow, slurry transfer and chemical transfer or dosing applications; but are popular solutions for many other applications which include:
|Chemical:||Corrosive acids and shear sensitive media|
|Water and waste treatment:||Sludge pumping|
|Fishing industry:||Bulk fish transfer and effluent handling|
|Paint and pigment:||Dispersion mill feed and latex transfer|
|Pulp and paper:||Dyes, sizing agents, and titanium dioxide dosing|
|Mining:||Tailing slurries transfer, sludge transfer|
|Mineral processing:||Carbon and ceramic media transfer|
|Mineral Recovery:||Filter Press Feed, electro winning Feed|
|Ceramics:||Clay slip and glaze pumping|
|Construction:||Cements, coatings, spray concrete and aggregate pumping|
|Food and Beverage:||Yeast cropping, additives and effluent pumping reagents transfer and dosing, sump discharge|
|Energy efficiency:||Reductions in friction thanks to specially developed roller technology greatly reduces power consumption and mechanical wear.|
|Built for difficult applications:||AFX pumps can handle high abrasive slurries, corrosive material, high solids applications, gaseous liquids and very dense liquids and slurries with remarkable ease|
|Sensitive handling:||AFX pumps are Ideal for shear sensitive products|
|Chemically compatible:||Every AFX pump is supplied with internals to be chemically compatible with your product|
|Fool proof:||AFX series pumps can run dry indefinitely, without damage|
|Fully reversible:||Your AFX pump can easily change direction to flush or reverse transfer when necessary.|
|Minimal maintenance:||The heavy duty, high pressure hose is the only wearing item in your AFX pump.|
|Flexible to your needs:||Pump casings and internal components are available in a choice of materials including stainless steel|
|Suctions power:||The AFX pump is self-priming pump and has a suction lift capability of up to 9 metres|
|Accuracy:||AFX pumps have a fixed flow per revolution resulting in a highly accurate flow rate for dosage sensitive applications|
Boasting eleven AFX peristaltic pump models with flow rates between 40 l/hr to 150 000 l/hr across the range the AFX PUMP SERIES have become industry favourites across many countries. We attach the same care and dedication not only to pump and hose design but also to the selection and application of our pumps. To ensure optimum performance and product life, as well as to minimise operational cost and maintenance downtime, every AFX pump is carefully selected, configured and equipped for a specific application’s requirements by an experienced application specialist. | <urn:uuid:47e68106-95c8-4c53-8f46-fc2b151d3879> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.afxholdings.com/afx-pumps/ | 2020-09-20T14:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.901951 | 1,107 |
Can India See Growth Without Damaging its Environment?Coordinator of Environment Support Group
A report from the High Level Committee (HLC), set up by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to review a wide range of environmental issues and policies, represents a fundamental shift away from prevailing regulatory practices and current law, according to several detailed appraisals.
The prevailing system of environmental governance theoretically demands technical competence in regulatory agency decisions, tested by public approval. In practice, however, this is rarely the case and serious gaps exist. There is, in general, an acute lack of transparency and accountability in environmental decision-making.
Over decades, gross neglect in attending to these governance gaps has contributed to widespread neglect of the environmental quality in India. This is evident in the pollution of rivers, streams and the air across the country. There has also been a substantial loss of biodiversity and sensitive ecosystems in recent decades, which has irreversibly impacted the “natural capital” of the country. To address this situation, global experience suggests that the state needs to play a strong role and push for transparency in decision-making, deepen democratic processes and incentivize progressive corporate behavior. As former Indian Environmental Minister Jairam Ramesh suggests in his recent book Green Signals: “India simply cannot afford to follow the conventional ‘grow now, pay later’ model of development that has been adopted by other countries, including China.”
One HLC proposal is that environmental governance must rely on a self-certification approach, on the principle of “utmost good faith” in “voluntary self-disclosure” by project proponents and investors for the ecological, environmental and social impacts of their projects. The Committee claims that “the present monitoring regime is heavily dependent on field verification through ‘inspectors’” and that the “cause of environment preservation is not adequately met by the present monitoring methods.” However, India spends less than 1 percent of its annual budget on the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, casting doubt on whether the department will be able to evolve its current practices.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Environment and Forests reviewed the HLC Report and held that “the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, instead of proceeding with the implementation of the recommendations contained in the [HLC] Report, should give due consideration to the views/opinion and objections raised by stakeholders including environmental experts” in effect emphasizing the undemocratic and nontransparent process by which the report was compiled.
Governance gaps have contributed to widespread neglect of the environmental quality in India.
The Parliamentary Committee was clear that accepting the recommendations “would result in an unacceptable dilution of the existing legal and policy architecture established to protect our environment.” In fact, it stated that the “Committee whose constitution and jurisdiction are itself in doubt, has been used to tinker with the established law and policy” and expressed serious doubts about the competence of the HLC. It further asked the government to repeat the exercise with transparency, deep democracy and enlisting credible experts “so that the recommendations are credit worthy and well considered which is not the case with the recommendations of High Level Committee under review.”
The Environment vs. Economy Tussle
While the ruling administration has not been clear on the acceptance of the HLC, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has begun implementing certain recommendations. For example, highways, or “linear” projects, and defense projects within 100 kilometers from the border do not need to conform to rigorous environmental review norms which were previously mandatory. Forest diversion clearances that require prior consent of forest Panchayats (elected bodies at village level) has been whittled down, thus diluting a key guarantee of the historic Forest Rights Act, 2006 which was enacted to protect rights of indigenous and forest dwelling communities.
Separately, Prime Minister Modi’s business friendly pitch to “Make in India” involves aggressive promotion of extensive industrial corridors and “smart cities.” Such mega-projects demand diversion of large tracts of farming and forest lands, the widespread destruction of ecologically sensitive ecosystems, and associated involuntary displacement of hundreds of communities. Widespread discontents have begun to emerge about this enclave model of economic development.
Credit Suisse recently reported that 58 percent of India’s wealth is held by just 1 percent of the population. An analysis of the wealth gained by India’s ultra-rich reveals that investments in the extractive sector are a major contributor, not innovation or services. This means India’s wealthy are contributing to substantial environmental damage, and the benefits aren’t accrued by a majority of its population. Such gross disparities tend to create serious discontents in any society. This is neither good for business, nor does it contribute to building a climate of opinion that can effectively tackle the challenges imposed by global warming.
What Can Indian Business Do?
In this climate, what can Indian businesses do to advance ecological and economic security? First, the prevailing attitude of considering environmental concerns as a handicap to business must go. This entails a willingness to comply with environmental regulations. This can unleash positive responses from the public in support of corporate interventions in addressing prevailing environmental and social problems.
Second, today’s environmental challenges are extremely complex and require complex responses. They cannot be addressed with the traditional top down model or merely technical fixes. Whether it is tackling waste management or building infrastructure that serves public needs equitably, the approach has to respond to local community needs and choices.
Finally, environmental and social concerns cannot be addressed with tokenism. They need to become integral to entrepreneurship. | <urn:uuid:2712fbd7-8332-41d8-acad-42d45860cbf2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.brinknews.com/can-india-see-growth-without-damaging-its-environment/ | 2020-09-20T13:07:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950249 | 1,169 |

1 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
A lesser Angel to lead them. They had apostasised (Ex.32), and although purged by the Levites (3000 perished), there were further consequences since they were a stiffnecked people and really, unregenerate at heart. A lesser angel was to lead them (not Michael).
He would go before them and purge the land of the filthiness and iniquities of the Canaanites and their godless heathen idolatrous companion tribes (v.2). In the Kingdom there will be no place for the (spiritually, morally) unclean and filthy (Zech. l4.21, Rev.21.8, 27, Zech.13.1-4).
The whole earth will be purged of its abominations in the day of great cleansing, and the saints will possess the kingdom under the whole heaven (Dan.7.26,27).
The holy land will then truly be a land flowing with milk and honey to feed the multitudes of worshippers coming up to the great Temple and the city of the great King. *
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
Stripped of outward adornment. The ornaments or outward adornment symbolised the pride and vanity of the flesh, the fair show, whether in the women folk or by the man. The stripping of this or casting away, was the repudiation of the flesh and all its vanity, pride and arrogance, which is necessary if a person will be acceptable to Yahweh.
Haughty puffed up self-will and pious pomposity and strutting vanity and arrogance of the flesh, spiritual peacocks, which refuses to humble itself before the mighty hand of Yahweh, but takes refuge in human weakness, is the downfall of many (Pv. 8.13, 16.18, 11.2).
"When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom."
The converse is often the case
"Fools make mock at sin." (Pv. 14.9).
The melting of the brass mirrors to produce the laver is a similar principle of the transformation of the once proud flesh to a vessel of purification. *
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
Quite a sight...multitudes of thousands looking unto Moses the type of Yahoshua.
Tabernacle pitched without the Camp. The requirements of the Truth are not convenient to the flesh and if a person would seek and come to Yahweh they have to go out of their comfort zone, even if this humiliating and inconvenient to them.
This of course many are unprepared to do, and create all sorts of barriers why they should not comply. But the spirit of the apostles and first believers is expressed thus ...
"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,
and in breaking of bread and in prayers."
To ignore this is to be guilty of treating the things of Christ with contempt. If we are ashamed of the things of Christ, then he will be ashamed of us when he cometh in his glory (Lk.9.26, Mk.8.38).
"Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach." *
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and Yahweh talked with Moses.
Moses the type - "I and My Father are One"
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 And Yahweh spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
Yahweh speaks with Moses face to face. Surely this is a glimpse of the reward that awaits those who have gone forth without the camp, when immortality and glory has been conferred on them, to speak with Yahweh face to face (Ezk.43.1, Jhn.1.51). The people saw a cloudy pillar descend and talk with Moses at the entrance to the tabernacle.
This rein forces the prophetic connotation - the name bearing Angel descends to Moses, a representation of Deity manifest in a cloud of witnesses, a multitude in One (Rev.l 0.1-4), or the apocalypse of the Lord from heaven, at the gates of the Kingdom, when the people will be grafted into the new Covenant and worship him in spirit and in Truth, following their long exile of Apostasy and blindness (Jer.31, Zech.12, Zech.13).
Moses, at this point, enjoyed that intimate fellowship with the Name bearing Angel, who communed with him "as a man speaketh unto his friend" (v.11) which again echoes the restoration of angel man fellowship in the Kingdom Age.
Joshua (Yahoshua), we are informed, remains in the tabernacle after Moses has departed. Why should we be told about this seemingly little incident? What is its significance? Surely this can only be a type of the inheritance of the house of Joshua (Yahoshua), which speaketh better things than the house of Moses.
Paul is at pains to explain this in his letter to the Hebrew (Jewish) Christians, who were clinging to the law (Judaisers) (Hb.3.1-6):
"For this man (Yahoshua) was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house ... whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.' *
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17 And Yahweh said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Moses pleads with the Name bearing Angel to lead them. Moses was anxious about his role in leading the people through the waste howling wilderness to the promised land, if he did not know who would be leading them, in particular, if it was not by the one with whom he spoke, that is the Name bearing Angel (Michael). Moses had not asked for this position Ex.6.12, and wanted reassurance that God's favour was with him in performing this onerous task.
He had seen the Apostasy and waywardness of the people, yet he humbly submitted to the task, which he felt unequal to, providing he knew that Yahweh was with him. Moses had been a lonely shepherd for 40 years, and this was to prepare him for being a shepherd to the fickle flock of Israel, as Christ ministered to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and had compassion towards them, the little lambs, taking them upon his shoulders, and leading and guiding them through the treacherous paths, as David and Moses before him.
He came to save sinners, not those that are whole. He came to the poor and needy, not to the well heeled and self sufficient, and he loved them and cared for them as the good shepherd (Isa 40:11, Lk.15:4,5, Jhn.10.1-5, 14, Lk.5.31). He is reassured that the Name bearing Angel would go before them (v.14,17).
"My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."
This applies in principle to all faithful sojourners in the wilderness of life who put their trust in Yahweh the living God (Pslm.68. 4-9).
"A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land."
He will give the suffering remnant their rest which remaineth for the people of God
(Hb 4,.9,10). *
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
In the coming age...
The Ezekiel temple is a "house of prayer for all nations," in which the "Yahweh Elohim Almighty" will officiate as the sacerdotal intermediation between him who dwells in light, whom no man can see and live, and all the enlightened, justified and regenerated nations of the Millennial Age (Exod. 33:20, 1 Tim. 6:16).
Eureka 8.1. 'And there were voices'.
21 And Yahweh said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
The cleft rock: A place of shelter and safety specially prepared by Yahweh
In searching for the meaning of the cleft rock, we are led to consider certain facts to which the scene of this record evidently points. The Rock stands related to two systems, or "order of things," outlined by the two Covenants. The One, given from Sinai-the Mosaic:-the other, confirmed and brought into force by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ-the Abrahamic.
At the first giving of the law from Sinai, the ten commandments were spoken in audible voice to the people: and the terrors of the law were shadowed forth in the thunderingsand lightnings and voice of a trumpet, the fire and the smoke. And the "two tables of testimony,-tables of stone, written with the finger of God,"-were given to Moses, that he might teach the law and commandments to the children of Israel. This covenant, dedicated with blood,-which Moses
sprinkled upon all the people,-they did not keep.
They quickly turned aside from the holy commandments and corrupted themselves; and were many of them visited with the fire of Yahweh's jealousy-in swift destruction from among His people. A primary, antitypical fulfilment of the things representatively enacted then, we find at the close of the Mosaic Aion.
Then, there was a national falling away of the children of Israel from the holy covenant delivered unto them by Moses;and only a very small remnant of faithful ones remained. When that covenant had waxed old, and was ready to vanish away (Heb. 8:13), the "heavens" thereof are described by Peter as about to "pass away with a great noise, and the elements to melt with fervent heat" (2 Pet. 3:10).
This national removal, and the cause of it, Moses had foretold: and said, "Jeshurun" had "forsaken God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation"
Sis Lasius - Yahweh Elohim
Moses, being within the Rock-was covered by the hand of Yahweh. This covering hand, is the subject of the prophet's testimony. The Spirit, through the prophet, addressing the anointed One, saith:
"I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand: that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth; and say unto Zion, Thou art my people" (Isa.51:16).
The right hand of Yahweh, is spoken of as being instrumental in the work of salvation. The Psalmist saith:
"1 know that the Lord saveth his anointed, he will hear him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand" (Ps. 20:6). His right hand, it is said, is "full of righteousness." As saith the Psalmist; "According to thy name, Ο God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:thy right hand is full of righteousness" (Ps. 48:10). "Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: upon the Son of man, whom thou madest strong for thyself" (Ps. 80:17).
It is through the saving power of his right hand, "the righteousness of ages" has been brought in. The righteousness belonging to the name of Yahweh is manifested through the name of Jesus. Therefore the Spirit of Christ through the prophet, saith,-"I will greatly rejoice in the
Lord: my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath coveredme with the robe of righteousness" (Isa. 61:10).
This righteousness is a part of that "goodness" of which the Lord spake to Moses, when He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before thee." This goodness and righteousness form
part of that glory which was veiled within the shadow of the covering hand: as said the messenger, "I will cover thee with my hand while I pass by."
The glory was with the angelic representative, within the covering cloud. Christ, coming to be invested with the covering robe of Yahweh's righteousness, the Scriptures teach that all who
have put on Christ are covered with it also. Moses, together with all the faithful ones of every age, must find a covering there. "This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord;and their righteousness is of me, saith Yahweh" (Isa. 54:17).
Sis Lasius - Yahweh Elohim
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Moses desires to see Yahweh's glory. Moses is told that no man can see Yahweh's glory - his face, and live. Remember, the Yahweh name bearing angel that spake with him was invested in a cloud. The angel thus was concealed from Moses vision, but was tantalisingly close that he spake face to face with him (v.11).
It was the moral glory that was revealed to Moses. But Yahweh would hide him in the cleft rock, and he could see the back parts of the angel, but not his face. The cleft rock is Christ, and through him, Yahweh's cleft rock, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, are we able to see visions of Elohim (Ezk.I.2, Rev.4, Rev.5).*

Clínica Planas reinforces its commitment with the treatment and research of lymphedema and creates the Unit for the Comprehensive Lymphedema Treatment. This new unit deals with procedures beyond multidisciplinarity, and has the newest techniques and the latest progress. It takes care not only of the medical aspects, but also of those that concern the daily lives of the affected people.
One of the innovations that Clinica Planas adds to its unit is the Godoy Method. The Godoy Method is a new system of advanced physiotherapy to treat lymphedema from a non-surgical and conservative point of view. It is based on the combination of different techniques, with the purpose of correcting and improving the lymph circulation so as to reach the normalization of lymphedema in a short-and long-term; achieving, thus, a reduction of about 50-80% volume in a week.
There are 4 methods to treat lymphedema:
The Vodder Method: It is a manual lymph drainage of lymphedema.
The Leduc Method: It is a Lymph Drainage evolved from the Vodder Method.
The Földi Method: It is based on a Complex Decongestive Therapy (combination of the Vodder method + bandaging + exercises)
The Godoy Method: It is a new Method based on the reduction or normalization of elephantiasis.
This method is based on a Global Lymphatic Therapy, which consists of the following:
Manual therapy and lymph drainage enables lymph absorption towards lymphatic capillaries, for its later transportation. Thus, lymphatic liquid is evacuated and therefore, the oedema is reduced.
There are some mechanical devices that perform passive exercises in the body limbs, and favour lymph transport and evacuation from the affected areas.
Therapy of contention
The objective of this therapy is to reduce the volume and the fibrosis of the oedema through compression garments designed for the patient, which are totally adjustable to be adapted to your needs.
Cervical stimulation is a manoeuvre performed at the clavicle and has a neurological effect on the lymphatic system, activating it systemically. It is one of the fundamental parts of the lymphedema treatment in children.
Each of these treatments is carried out individually and intensively. It is adapted to the needs and particularities of each patient and it is performed by specialized health professionals to achieve excellent results.
There are different programs on a case-by-case basis:
Reducing Intensive Program
- It is an outpatient program
- Five day-combination of the four techniques
- Sessions of 4 hours approximately
It is planed according to each person needs. The objective is to maintain throughout the year the maximum reduction achieved in the Intensive program.
Post Surgery Program
The objective of this program is to reduce recovery times after any surgery as well as to minimise any possible effects.
Volume reduction of the limb
To increase the transport capacity of the vascular, venous and lymphatic system
To decrease conjunctive fibrosis
Improvement of the joint mobility of the limb
Prevention of the progression of disease
Functional rehabilitation of the affected limb
Improvement of the patient’s quality of life (personal and social reinsertion and return to work)
The specialist will recommend you a personalized maintaining program according to your particular needs. | <urn:uuid:99126333-e226-4c8c-945a-69c46e579c02> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.clinicaplanas.com/en/unit-comprehensive-treatment-lymphedema/advanced-physiotherapy-of-lymphedema | 2020-09-20T13:56:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.917297 | 703 |
Time to shut French home’s pool down for winter
Summer is well and truly over
The clocks went back at the end of October, which means there are no more excuses: if you have not done so already, it is time to shut down your pool for winter.
It is good practice to shut down outdoor pools when they are not in use to protect the walls, liner, pumps and skimmers from damage and maintain water quality.
It also saves time and money, and means you do not have to clean a dark green pool when it is time to start enjoying it again next spring.
The best time to shut down a pool is before the first frosts, and once the temperature of the water is steadily between 12C and 15C.
It may be advisable to drain the pool a little – but do not drain it completely, otherwise the pool could deform without the force of the water over the winter months. Many 10-year pool warranties are voided if it is drained over winter.
Cleaning the bottom, walls, water line, skimmer baskets, pump pre-filter and filter will save a big job next spring. It is worth taking the time to do.
Readily-available pool wintering products prevent algae and bacteria developing in your pool during the winter.
They also prevent limescale deposits on the walls.
If you expect it to freeze where you live, protect your pool by installing anti-freeze accessories such as floats, wintering plugs and an anti-freeze box.
Finally, put your winter debris cover on to keep out fallen leaves and other debris – and make sure it is taut enough not to dip in the water.
You should take advantage of the time to clean your summer cover, then fold it up and pack it away if possible.
Then it’s just a case of waiting until it is time to open up your pool again...

The newest numbers from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show walking and bicycling are fast getting more dangerous, including in Washington State.
Recent technology like self-driving cars may help turn these numbers around someday. But so far, headlines suggest it may be taking us in the wrong direction.
More walkers and cyclists dying here and across the U.S.
In late 2019, the NHTSA released its national numbers for crashes on America’s roadways and the news is bad for people who human-powered travel.
But as a Bellingham columnist points out, the Washington State numbers might be even worse. Relative to 2013, Washington fatalities rose from 63 to 120. That is close to a 100% increase among human-powered travelers in 5 years. Nationally, the percent rise in deaths among human-powered traveler was less, rising by 77%.
Driverless vehicles make headlines
Autonomous (driverless or self-driving) cars are still too rare to blame for the numbers. Probably, so are advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which only assist in driving or parking with smart cruise control and lane-keeping help.
In fact, some advocates claim such cars may someday prevent all traffic deaths by removing “human error.” So far, the headlines are not encouraging.
In March 2018, a self-driving Uber hit and killed a woman in Tempe, Arizona, while the “driver” watched a TV game show. Among other problems, investigators found the car did not expect people to jaywalk. Two months later, a Tesla on “autopilot” crashed into a Laguna Beach, California, police cruiser. The same month, another autopiloted Tesla hit a Salt Lake City fire truck. Nobody suffered serious injuries in either crash.
AAA Foundation warns of “automation complacency”
In December, the AAA Foundation released a study showing strong evidence that ADAS causes “automation complacency,” an effect long familiar to airplane and spacecraft pilots and from health care and military uses.
By taking on so much of the job, machines lull humans into taking their attention away from the critical job at hand.

Minerva Scientifica – Echoes from London
Stroud Green Festival
This performance is part of International Women in Engineering Day
Echoes from London is the first English species of our successful five-star Edinburgh Festival Fringe performance commemorating triumphs and histories of Scotland’s Superwomen of Science through a blend of music, song and spoken word. Featuring singer and composer Frances M Lynch, the show has been on a fabulous tour including the Highlands and Islands, entertaining its audiences and engaging with local communities.
Check out our project last year in Eyemouth and St Abbs
Echoes from London has been specially created in collaboration with Stroud Green Festival, Stroud Green Primary School and the Women’s Engineering Society, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Among others, the “Superwomen” featured include two suffragettes: a Stroud Green School Head Agnes Metcalfe BSc, and the electrical engineer and physicist Hertha Ayrton from Finsbury Technical College who was a friend of Marie Curie and a prolific inventor.
Their stories are told through the music of women composers from the early 1700’s to the present day, including Haringey – born composer Madeleine Dring. Others are Anne Hunter (better known as a poet who often worked with Haydn), Helen Hopekirk (known as the 2nd Clara Schumann), and our own local composer and performer Frances M Lynch.
Created by electric voice theatre, Echoes is a Minerva Scientifica project that brings together professional performers with community musicians and school children. Together, we raise awareness of the rich heritage and deep connections between music and science, and inspire the next generation of future scientists. | <urn:uuid:aa50567f-1a23-406c-929b-9bd3506f98bb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.electricvoicetheatre.co.uk/2019/04/ | 2020-09-20T14:22:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.945751 | 501 |

The second council meeting of this academic year took place at the 8th of November. We met our new dean (Boudewijn Haverkort) who introduced himself and attended a part of the meeting to get more involved in the processes the faculty is going through.
Questions to the board
The first topic on the agenda was the questions asked to the board. Student Party Dante first wanted to receive an update about the process of the implementation of videolectures within TSHD. The board responded that they talked with the project manager of educational development about this initiative, but concluded that there is no priority to this plan. The motivation was that video lectures do not increase the amount of people that will pass a course. However, the board also considers video lectures as a service and thus Student Party Dante can talk to the project manager of educational development.
The second question we came up about was the topic regarding the possibility to provide training sessions for the program committees. In the last few weeks a draft was made about the competence of the program committees, but there still is a conversation required to ask the members of those committees about their needs. In the upcoming weeks the faculty will start this dialogue and will inform Student Party Dante about the input they receive.
Paperless is more
In last year university council new plans were accepted according to the possibility to submit assignments digitally. We received some information about the struggles of teachers with those new plans. Some reasonable arguments they gave were that they do not get informed well enough about the facilities they can use to let students submit their assignments digitally (such as TurnItIn). Besides this, the workload of the teachers will increase because they might print the assignments after they received it in a digital form. Student Party Dante understands the troubles of the teachers and did conversate with the teachers in the council. We agreed that the ‘paperless is more’ initiative is only going to work if the teachers get well informed about TurnItIn and how to give feedback digitally. However, everyone agrees that students are allowed to submit assignments digitally if students prefer that.
The internal budget
The next topic on the agenda was about the internal budget of the faculty. Some of the council members felt that they did not have the opportunity to fully understand the budget plans. The board did understand the confusion, so they will delay the advise for the budget (given by the council) by a few weeks to give us more time to better understand the budget. To get some more clarification, we asked about the targets that are imposed for each department. Each department needs to save a total of 95k and come up with a plan on how they want to do this. Student Party Dante asked on how the board will evaluate those plans and what will happen when a department cannot meet to those criteria. The board responded that a dissatisfaction of the imposition will be problematic for the faculty and will mean that there will exist a shortage on the budget.
The internal distribution model
The last subject we discussed was the internal distribution model. For many this might still be an unknown item so here is a quick summary of what this model entails. The internal distribution model is basically the distribution of the money available to and within our faculty regarding the first cash flow. This first cash flow implies the money our university received from the Dutch government which again is divided over the faculties at TiU. Our faculty is changing some of the structures of this model since we divided one department into two separates. Besides, the University as a whole is changing their structure as well. Another change is that the reserves of the various departments will be collected under one account instead of the previous accounts allocated to the department itself. These are the most important changes, among others. However, we as Student Party Dante (together with the teachers) do hold some objections to these changes and will discuss this further with the Faculty Board. | <urn:uuid:67636f81-28b0-434c-b807-2193e754744a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fractiedante.nl/november-8th-second-faculty-council/ | 2020-09-20T13:32:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974169 | 780 |
Gal Vihara or Uttararama is a stupendous rock temple located in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. Built-in 12th century AD by the King Parakramabahu, the temple consists of four statues of Buddha carved into the face of large granite rock. The rock has been cut almost 4.6 meters deep to accommodate the statues. The height of the three statues in different postures — one sitting, one standing and the other reclining — range from 4.6 meters to 14 meters. The fourth one — a small sitting posture of 1.4 meters — is located inside an artificial cave made by carving 1.4 meters into the rock. A visit to this ancient monument, which has become a tourist attraction in Sri Lanka, will leave you amazed.
