J.J. Nite lives in North Alabama with her husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 4 goldfish. She writes young adult sweet romance for Clean Reads and loves reading as much as possible. J.J.’s also found that if she doesn’t write something every day, her mood is that of a bear waking from hibernation. Don’t worry though, the children have learned to let Mommy write a little before approaching.
An Excerpt from Veiled Angel
by J.J. Nite
“Safta, can I ask you something?” I asked suddenly.
“Of course, angel girl. What is it?”
“The Timoreo, you told me they have a lot of different abilities. And you also told me they were created by God. So I guess I have two questions. If we’re created by God, but we aren’t immortal, what are we? And is one of the abilities something like animals like us or something?” I asked, sure she would burst out laughing at any moment.
“Well, as for abilities, I like to think we are a lot like humans. We all have areas where we excel, different things we are exceptionally good at. If you want a better answer than what I’ve given you, I’ll need some more information and I think you’re trying to get to something specific. You might as well just get it off your chest,” Safta said, looking at me with a question in her blue eyes.
“Fine. It’s the coyote. He keeps showing up when I’m walking in the woods and before you get mad at me for not telling you, he hasn’t done anything to indicate he wants to hurt me. He just hangs out with me,” I said.
Safta looked at me for a few minutes. I started to think she was trying to get her anger under control before speaking to me. Then she smiled.
“There are very few among us who have an affinity for wild animals. In time you might even be able to communicate with them. Usually the ones I’ve heard of have been with rabbits or birds, something a little tamer than a coyote. This might be a first, even. How many times have you encountered this coyote? Is it always the same one?” Safta asked.
“It’s been around me ever since the first time I told you about it. And yeah, it’s the same one. He even let me look and figure out he was a he today.” I smiled. “I named him Atlas.”
“That’s an interesting choice. Why Atlas?”
“I figured we’ve both probably traveled a little more than what would be considered normal for our species. He seemed to like it. There were a few names I promise you it looked like he rolled his eyes at me or even tried to laugh,” I told Safta.
“Remarkable. Have you ever been able to do this before?”
“I don’t really know,” I answered, trying to think back over my life. “There were a few times when I could get a stray dog to come to me when no one else could catch it. Nothing like a wild animal though.”
“On the contrary. A stray animal is very much like a wild animal. You’ve probably always had this gift, but your mother didn’t realize what was happening. It’s a very rare thing,” Safta said.
“Wow, so I’m like some kind of wild animal whisperer.”
“I don’t think it would be a good idea to go and seek these animals out. This coyote came to you. I think it would be safer to just see what happens next with you and Atlas,” Safta cautioned.
“Okay. But what about my other question?” I pushed.
“It’s a little more complicated. I told you we mimic humans, but we aren’t mortal. We age much slower after we reach the age of eighteen. Until then, everything is the same as the humans around us. It’s one of the reasons we need to move frequently or stay out of the public eye. As for what we are, we’re angels.”
More about Veiled Angel:
Seventeen year old Eden Malakim, Edie, thought her life couldn’t get any more complicated than it already was. She and her mother have moved so many times Edie has lost count. So when her mother insists they move again, Edie hopes it will be the last one.
Little does Edie know, this move will bring her face to face with not only a family she’s never met, but a future she didn’t know was possible. The stories of angels and demons from her childhood turn out to be all too real and Edie discovers she’s the answer to a prophecy as old as time.
Suddenly thrown into a world Edie didn’t know existed anywhere but in stories, she realizes everything is not always what it seems. Trying to determine what is real and where she fits in, becomes the least of her worries when someone begins attacking her. Will Edie discover her true purpose before it’s too late or will something more sinister win the day?
Personally, I love YA books, and this one looks very interesting.

As 2019 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the year and set goals and intentions for the next year. For many people, this could be taking a step towards the business or side hustle that they’ve always dreamed of starting.
Here at GoDaddy, we’re on a mission to help empower everyday entrepreneurs to start their own venture, and in an effort to better serve them, we recently conducted a survey to understand how different generations think about entrepreneurship.
In partnership with OnePoll, we surveyed 3,000 Americans – 1,000 millennials, 1,000 Gen-Xers, and 1,000 baby boomers – and the results show that Americans are becoming more entrepreneurial.
Millennials, the generation of entrepreneurs
Nearly one in three millennials (30 percent) reported that they have a small business or side hustle, with nearly one in five (19 percent) saying it’s their main source of income. While one in five Gen-Xers has some kind of business or side hustle, only 11 percent of baby boomers could say the same.
Millennials were also by far the least likely to say they had no interest in starting a small business, with only 28 percent agreeing, and 74 percent of baby boomers agreeing with the same statement. Over half of millennials – 56 percent – affirmed that entrepreneurship has always been a long-term goal, compared to 43 percent of Gen-Xers, and 21 percent of baby boomers.
Some millennials credit a challenging job market in their early working years as a force toward entrepreneurship: 38 percent of millennials believe that coming of age during the Great Recession has made them more resourceful, and better suited for entrepreneurship.
Technology makes it easier
What’s prompting millennials’ entrepreneurial aspirations? Comfort with technology could be one explanation. 50 percent of millennials agreed that growing up with the internet has made them better suited for entrepreneurship.
The affordability and accessibility of technological tools could also influence this – 47 percent of millennials believe that all Americans have the means to start a small business, compared to just 28 percent of boomers.
66 percent of millennials feels that they’re equipped to handle the marketing and social media responsibilities that come with growing a business, compared to only 23 percent of baby boomers.
Tools like our recently launched service Websites + Marketing make it easy and affordable for anyone to take a business online and connect with their audience.
The life of an entrepreneur
The most popular sectors for millennials to start small businesses in are arts, music, and entertainment (13 percent), food and beverage (12 percent), and retail and sales (10 percent).
The data also indicates that for many millennials, entrepreneurship isn’t just a career choice, but a lifestyle. 20 percent of millennials have sought out a community of other entrepreneurs, compared to less than 12 percent of Gen Xers, and less than five percent of boomers.
Entrepreneurial influences also start early. Nearly one in four millennials – 24 percent – shared that they’d come from a family of entrepreneurs and small business owners, while only 12 percent of baby boomers had a similar background. Can we expect future generations to have even more aspirations of owning their own business?
But perhaps the most telling stat of all was this: of those that have a small business 84 percent of millennials report being more satisfied as an entrepreneur than when they worked for other people.
As more and more people take the leap toward entrepreneurship and fulfilling their goals, we’ll be here to support them. | <urn:uuid:fec450ab-6095-4db8-9109-0c341511e83a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.godaddy.com/garage/entrepreneurship-in-2019-new-data-shows-that-entrepreneurship-is-on-the-rise/ | 2020-09-20T14:16:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961058 | 732 |
Jim Irsay reports progress on Andrew Luck's shoulder
Jim Irsay's previous declarations about Andrew Luck haven't always been on the mark. But the Indianapolis Colts owner has no reason to doubt the quarterback's progress right now.
Irsay told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Luck, who has been in Europe for several weeks seeking treatment on his injured right shoulder, is on track to return to full strength.
"He's doing great," Irsay told Rapoport. "He's doing well. (We're) disappointed obviously it's taken as long as it's taken. You know, medicine and the way it goes. But there hasn't been any unusual setback. We didn't find out anything ominous, something we didn't know about or anything like that. It's just taken time for him to go through his whole aspect of rehabbing and progressing and working through the soreness."
"He's still in Europe but he's coming home very shortly," Irsay told Rapoport. "No additional surgery at this point planned." | <urn:uuid:2c7a635c-50e3-44a8-84a5-d98184980ce6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2017/12/14/jim-irsay-reports-progress-andrew-lucks-shoulder/953419001/ | 2020-09-20T15:38:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.987951 | 219 |
OU prepares for ‘fall semester like no other’
Campuses adding webcams, disinfecting due to COVID-19
In a letter to regional campus students, Ohio University has outlined how they will reopen for fall semester classes.

We believe that all of the planned interventions will provide that,” the letter reads. “There is still much work to do to prepare for a safe academic year, but our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to the task. We will continue working through issues and challenges for the remainder of the summer in order to be prepared for a fall semester like no other.”
Among the changes on campus will be campus signage and in classroom expectations, which are intended to keep students and campus community safe. Social distancing will be enforced and shared objects like desks, computers and lab equipment will be disinfected frequently. So will high-traffic areas like entrances and lobbies.
There will also be plastic barriers put up in offices so people can meet face to face.
Water fountains have been disabled but fountains to fill bottles will be available. Masks will be provided and required on campus.
Classrooms will be reconfigured to follow guidance from the CDC and the Ohio Department of Health.
“We are also installing webcams and boundary microphones in our classrooms (so students can meet via Microsoft Teams or Zoom) which will provide greater flexibility to faculty and students and will facilitate virtual engagement,” the letter reads.
“Regardless of the course delivery mode (in-person, online, OULN, hybrid, etc.), our faculty and staff are working to ensure an engaging learning environment for you this fall.”

Cambridge Peer StudyPosted by Keith Melancon on 1/10/2020
The 8th grade Cambridge U.S. History and Algebra/Geometry Honors department will be providing after school peer study for 6-8th grade Cambridge students beginning January 15th 2020. The Program will run only on Wednesdays from 4:00 - 5:00p.m. This platform will allow students additional time to work with their peers, ask questions, comprehend concepts, and learn new study techniques in order to increase their understanding of all core subject areas.
Peer study will continue uninterrupted every week with the exception of Early Release Days. There will be no peer study on these days due to after school meetings and trainings for faculty. It is the student/parent’s responsibility to check with the instructors to learn whether a particular tutoring session has been cancelled. The instructors will also make an announcement to the student body if a cancellation does become necessary.
All the school rules will be applicable during the study session. Furthermore, in the case of repeated violations of those rules, North Marion Middle School reserves the right to suspend any student from the study session.
Students must be picked up by the parent/guardian by 5:00 pm without exception. Those who are picked up after 5:00 pm may be removed from future study sessions.
Tutoring is free of charge and a privilege open to all Cambridge students and will be provided on a first come first serve basis and is not mandatory.
The Instructors reserve the right to cancel the study sessions and make changes to the format of the peer study at any time. Students will not be admitted to the study session without a parent/guardian’s signature and contact information on the pysical paper that was handed out to students. Please return the form to Mr. Melancon at North Marion Middle School.

10 Things I Should Have Done Before Our Baby Arrived
10 Things I should have done BEFORE my Baby arrived
I love newborns however the transition from a couple to a family of three is not easy! The idea of this ‘brand new’ little human, sleep deprivation, washing, cleaning and feeding the family is not an easy feat.
Looking back, I wish I had done so many things whilst I was still pregnant. Once you take your little treasure home, it’s game on!
Here are my top 10 ‘Things I should have done” before our baby arrived.
1.STOCK YOUR FREEZER
Frozen Meals will save you! Trying to put a meal together and on the table before 9pm with a newborn is a tough gig! Pre-cook at least two weeks’ worth of dinners (or as much as you can fit in your freezer). Slow cooked meals in bulk is your life saver.
2. DATE NIGHTS GALORE
The idea of going out on a date night after work might seem exhausting and all you want to do is put your swollen feet up on the couch! Believe me, GO OUT ON DATES! Grab your comfy shoes, hubbys hand and walk on the beach together, go to the movies, eat at lovely restaurants and visit your friends and family. It might be a while when you get to do this again.
3. PREP YOUR HOUSE
Spring Clean, deep clean and de-clutter EVERYTHING! If you haven’t touched it in 6 months throw it, give to charity or a friend in need. Trust me, get rid all the Sh*t lying around now! Do a major clean, it may be hard with your oversized belly, but you will appreciate it after Bubs arrives. You will have a million other things to do with no time or sleep. The last thing you will find the time for is cleaning out your second draw, cleaning windows or tidying your linen cupboard. I recommend asking a friend for a cleaning voucher as your shower gift, #winninggift.
4. ONLINE SHOPPING
YES! YES! YES! Register for online grocery shopping today! Create a shopping list for weekly basics and have that gorgeous bundle of kid free shopping delivered to your door. Trying to think about ‘what’s for tea’, planning the dash to the shops in between sleep routines and the feeding schedule is hard work.
5. PACK YOUR HOSPITAL BAG
Whoops, my waters broke, QUICK throw everything into a bag and let’s go! This happens a lot and the last thing you want to feel during labour is pressure to remember stuff. Clearly this is my favourite ‘to-do’ as we created this business to avoid this situation and to take the stress out of waddling through a million shops to get all the items in your hospital bag checklist. Do yourself and hubby a favour and check out MaternityBag’s pre-packed hospital products online. Not only will this save you time, stress and money you won’t be left standing at the car yelling at your husband to remember the nappies and your over sized knickers!
6. ORGANISE EVERYTHING
With Mummy brain and a newborn, it’s hard to get organised fast. I recommend organising your nursery like a BOSS! Labels are your friend, have all Bubs clean clothes at arm’s length even test your night light for midnight feeds. Look in your upcoming events and think, birthdays, weddings or even Christmas, get these presents, cards and outfits sorted stat!
7. PAMPER YOURSELF
Book in the hairdresser, a pedicure and a facial if you can afford it. You deserve to look and feel fabulous even if your feet look like they have blown up like a balloon. I’m a blonde and my regrowth was a big Vegemite strip, so off I go with newborn #1 for my foils. 4 hours later, breastfeeding at the sink was not the most pampering or flattering experience.
I regret not having a pregnancy photo-shoot with both my boys. I have one selfie of myself that I can look back on to remember that special time ☹ If you can afford a professional shoot BOOK IT! Otherwise take those selfies every month and don’t forget to include hubby and your nice, fresh, new and clean nursery. Check out our Photography affiliates (on Facebook) who are not only amazing but they include a MaternityBag in the packages.
9. PRE-WASH YOUR BABY’S CLOTHING AND LINEN
Wash, fold and arrange the clothes in style and size order, again labels are your friend! This will make life easier when you take Bubs home. Not only is the smell amazing but you will be able to locate clean clothes fast in an imminent poo explosion and your hubby/grandparents will know where to find (and put away) washing for you.
10. BABYMOON & MAKING DAD FEEL SPECIAL TOO
Oh, the memories! We were lucky enough to have a weekend of absolute peace and pampering, yes hubby too! It is such a loving and heartening time for you both in the lead up of Bubs arrival, enjoy time out together with just the two of you. It may be a long time until you get the next weekend or night off together. I created a new Dad kit for my hubby he loved it and it made him feel like he was involved and part of this journey as much as I was.
That’s the TOP 10! Compiled from myself and from feedback from our MaternityBag Mum army. Now, it’s up to you! You’ve got this. Most importantly, just get excited! I know it is the worst waiting around for your baby. Then once your due date passes you are just trying to do everything you can to pass the time. Just enjoy it and try to relax. Babies come when they are ready, and when they do, it is an incredible experience.

Training: Outdoor Ethics
Outdoor ethics is deeply ingrained in the BSA program. No place is this more important than in the outdoors. Scouting and Venturing have a long, proud tradition of conservation service to the nation
Scouts and Venturers who embrace the Outdoor Code and the principles of Leave No Trace often find that they wish to give back and help protect the environment that has given them so much. Some may find that they are "wild with love for the green outdoors—the trees, the tree-top singers, the wood-herbs, and the nightly things that left their tracks in the mud," in the words of Ernest Thompson Seton, the first Chief Scout. These Scouts and Venturers have begun to feel what Aldo Leopold called the "Land Ethic." The Land Ethic extends our concern beyond our fellow Scouts and Venturers, our families and friends, and even humanity itself to the entire environmental community of which we are a part—the deserts, forests, fish, wildlife, plants, rocks, oceans, and web of life encompassing them—what Leopold called "the Land."
Outdoor ethics is not just for youth. Adult volunteers are encouraged to seek training in basic outdoor skills and even take specialized courses to learn Leave No Trace skills. Many councils have Outdoor Ethics advocates who provide leadership to their local units in learning and practicing good outdoor ethics. | <urn:uuid:36aff526-4b11-481a-956c-e54a72495339> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.monmouthbsa.org/training-oe | 2020-09-20T14:37:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.954984 | 282 |
Trading is an extensive domain and the key to successfully establish your trading venture is through constant efforts and persistence. Trading is an enterprise for well-researched investors who believe in the inherent quality of credible information and know-how to make informed decisions.
In Indian markets, as elsewhere, the options of trading decisions have undergone a sea change with the advent and diffusion of technology and the arising market dynamics thereafter. One such option is the intraday trading that has emerged as a viable option owing to its numerous benefits.
Intraday Trading Meaning
Intraday trading or high-frequency trading during the specified period of one day until the close of trading hours, is a form of quick trading that has gained much ground in the recent past.
Intraday trading goes beyond the traditional approaches of the long-term trading psyche and addresses a fast-paced set up wherein high volumes of quick trading transactions are carried out, one day at a time.
As is known, intraday trading does not offer any overnight ownership of stock deals as the deals are closed by the end of the day. Therefore, the ownership retention period is less than a day and hence, correspondingly the trade volume is much higher than that of conventional trading.
Benefits of Intraday Trading
Here are five major benefits of day trading that make it a worthwhile option:
1. No hassles about next day performance of stock:
By its very nature, intraday trading capitalizes on day time position and performance of the stock options. There is no question of overnight ownership or retention of the stock and hence, there is no need of worrying about the performance of the stock deal or stock position the next day.
Although this may seem quite fast-paced and abrupt in terms of traditional options, yet this is exactly what gives investment security to day traders. The deal is made, the stock is evaluated and the bid is carried through immediately.
This provides a cushion against any untoward losses or dips in stock performance in the long run.
2. Independent of market performance:
What the market scenario is and how is a stock performing due to market fluctuations is a general cause of worry to many traders. Market price projections may vary and in case of any general slump, the fund corpus suffers greatly.
Many traders have had to sell their stocks due to rapid slump or dip in stock pricing situations in the market. This is why day intraday trading is a credible and safe option in such cases. Irrespective of the market situation, the daytime performance of a stock is evaluated and therefore, the gain margin of a stock is independent of the general slump in the market if any. This makes intraday trading one of the safest trading options.
3. No need for an in-depth analysis or detailed research:
Of course, trading decisions have to be based on data analysis and research but for intraday trading, this research does not have to be extensive or too detailed. Understanding the current situation of the stock market and the daytime price projections often suffice for intraday trading.
4. Replication of profit margins through gains:
In intraday trading, a margin from the earned profits can be kept aside for utilization in the trade market, depending on the price fluctuations of that particular stock.
This means that you can use your gained profits as marginal funds for further investment on a short and quick-term basis. This increases the chances of profit retention.
Besides, many brokerage firms offer credit facilities under certain terms for intraday trading. The fast and high-frequency nature of intraday trading, therefore, works in its favour.
5. Benefits from market volatility:
This is another major benefit of intraday trading. Due to its very nature, intraday trading makes the traders the first-hand receptors of any sudden or immediate market price or stock fluctuation.
In case of any major occurrence of sudden consequences, those engaged in intraday trading generally gauge the trends before the rest. This allows them to benefit from sudden and unexpected market volatility. | <urn:uuid:32069399-3eaf-4c16-bc5d-cc11ac4ff2db> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.niveshmarket.com/benefits-of-intraday-trading/ | 2020-09-20T13:15:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.951196 | 831 |
Whether you are a physician, dentist or veterinarian, there are two basic styles of marketing messaging in healthcare. One is focused on the marketer and the other is focused on the patient or person you are marketing to. Whether you are a solo practitioner, a doctor in a large group, a veterinary clinic or a hospital, you should understand the difference between “Me” and “You” marketing and messaging and the way each style affects a reader.
The easiest way to illustrate the difference between “Me” messaging and “You” messaging is to give you an example of each. Read the brief example paragraphs below and see if you can tell which is which:
Here at ABC Family Healthcare, we provide comprehensive preventive care and all the latest technology for fast, accurate diagnoses and the most effective treatments. Our doctors have the credentials and experience to care for patients of all ages with a wide variety of health problems.
You and your children deserve comprehensive healthcare from compassionate, experienced doctors who deliver the most effective treatments and results. You deserve the kind of care that focuses on you as an individual, respects your time and helps you prevent illness and disease.
In example A, the words “we” and “our” are dead giveaways. This is classic “We” messaging that talks at the reader instead of to the reader. The word “you” does not appear once in the entire paragraph. Most patients will be left cold by such self-serving language because it’s really not about them.
In example B, the words “you” and “your” are used six times and the messaging is both benefit-oriented and patient-centric. This is classic “You” messaging that most readers will find far more engaging to read and is far more likely to elicit a positive response.
It’s critically important when communicating with patients that you use “You” messaging and “the language of the patient” instead of self-serving or clinical doctor language. Keep that in mind the next time you need to create a message aimed at your medical or dental patients and veterinary clients.

Are you clueless as to which of the countless service providers of portable toilets in Clinton have the porta potties that are best for your needs? Or are overly aggressive sales representatives attempting to make you settle for a deal which entails fees insanely higher than the going rate for renting portable toilets in the Clinton, IL market? If so, then it’s about time you started working with Rent Porta Potties. Consumers (and our rivals) from Clinton, Illinois acknowledge us as a reliable supplier of porta potty units for rental or purchase.

Among the dealers of portable toilets inside Clinton, IL, our company has the biggest inventory. Our supply is frequently updated, growing bigger when a brand new porta potty is posted for sale on the market. Over the last years, people from Clinton have approached us in pursuit of toilets for residential usage, construction sites, fests, and other cases necessitating the utilization of such products.
Without a doubt, the scenario you are dealing with may call for a very specific type of toilet. Do not worry though, as the likeliness of us identifying the proper match between you and your toilet is fortified by examining your needs before you make any suggestion. The moment the evaluation process has ended, they’ll propose which products will be most appropriate for you. Furthermore, we’ll write up a rental plan (for individuals who prefer renting of course) that’ll deliver maximal utilization of the product/s you rent at a sensible rate.
Superior Quality and Very Practical Products
Quality is very important to us, which explains why we only buy from revered manufacturers, and have our experts conduct quality checks on each product in advance of its rental or sale. This means that the unit won’t conk out during the period in which you rent/own it, therefore saving you from the annoyance of having to exchange it out for a an alternative one.
Undoubtedly, functionality is one thing you would surely want to consider before renting or buying any of our products. We can give you a product equipped with bare-bone features, of which includes standard waste/water capacity, battery-powered flush action, and an indicator that illuminates when the tanks are loaded to its brim.

My scientific approach to nutrition, distilled through working with over 1500 clients, looks at each individual as just that – an individual. During your nutrition consultation, my goal is to find the root causes of your problems, using testing and research to connect the dots of your health puzzle and create a unique treatment plan.
With functional medicine there’s no one-size-fits-all cure, so even if you and a friend have the same symptoms or condition you won’t get the same treatment plan. After all, your journeys have been entirely different and unique.
That’s why I like to tell my clients up front that although there’s plenty of easy-to-apply advice I can give, I might not be able to truly help you in just one or two nutrition consultations. It’s a commitment – but in return I commit to helping you get to the bottom of what’s holding you back from full health.
The Treatment Process
All new clients begin with an initial nutrition consultation which typically takes 90 minutes. This includes:
- Taking a thorough medical and health history
- Reviewing your current diet and nutritional supplements
- Discussing any current and relevant blood work
- Providing you with some foundational nutritional advice to follow based on your case review
- Ordering any appropriate functional tests
After the appointment I will reflect on all the information gathered and create a foundational nutrition plan for you to follow. This written report will detail your bespoke food plan, lifestyle advice and appropriate supplement regimen targeted to your situation.
Following the first initial case review appointment you will be contacted to schedule follow up appointments throughout the remainder of your treatment plan.
During your first follow up I will provide:
- Verbal explanations of any lab results, along with a written report
- Targeted dietary and lifestyle guidelines
- A personalised supplement program
During subsequent follow ups I will:
- Monitor your response to treatment
- Explain any new lab findings
- Adjust treatment based upon laboratory findings and your level of responsiveness
- Order any follow up testing needed as treatment progress
- Work to improve your health as soon as possible
Nutrition consultation costs
I’m passionate about making my work accessible for all, so I always work to offer the most cost-effective plan. That means I will never order frivolous testing or prescribe multiple supplements that could squander your financial resources.
Lab testing is one area where fees can add up. Hopefully you will be relieved to know that an average lab test costs between £40 and £245, and that a new patient usually only requires one or two tests.
I usually see or speak with a client once a month to begin with, dropping down to once every six weeks. Depending on the severity of the case, treatment length can range from two months to a year.
Case review and initial consultation (90 minutes, plus 1-2 hours research) £180
Follow up appointments (60 minutes, plus research) £140
What do people say about working with Rosie?
On top of Rosie’s professional gift, she is also a genuinely lovely and caring person. I

best to get me well — which she did! You walk away after one appointment with a game
plan, a huge pack of incredible resources from gut healing recipes, to info about your
specific condition, and a wealth of knowledge about the body and it’s functions. Rosie is a
blessing and it’s the best investment you can make for you long term health and wellbeing.

Have you heard of Reinvent?
I appreciate that working one-on-one with me isn’t financially or practically viable for some people. Clinic slots also get booked up, limiting the number of people I can help. That’s why I created my signature online programme, Reinvent – a fully supported nutrition education and lifestyle change programme. Over 12 months, you will transform your relationship with food and discover health and vitality you never knew were possible.
Still got questions?
I offer a complementary 10 minute call to answer any questions you may have about our service.

Bestselling author Steve Almond admits he’s a little quirky. This aspect of his personality certainly shines through in his successful endeavors throughout the creative landscape.
“My books are a map of my obsessions,” Almond confesses.
Best known for writing Candyfreak, which is based on his obsession with candy and the confectionary industry, the 51-year-old has dabbled in all sorts of writing adventures throughout his career. He also co-hosts a thought-provoking New York Times advice podcast called “Dear Sugars” with Cheryl Strayed, an award-winning writer and memoirist.
“Certain people seek a path in life through candy,” he explains. “We all have candy we’re addicted to that helps us ease some of the hardships of life. That’s how I came up with the idea to write Candyfreak.”
In addition to the book, his website – stevealmondjoy.org – and his other online footprints reflect the Almond Joy play-on-words name he uses and his sweet tooth.
Growing into an Author
In high school, Almond began writing what he calls a “silly column” for the school newspaper. He was an English major in college and pursued a handful of journalism-related internships. He worked for a daily paper in El Paso, Texas prior to joining the Miami New Times in South Florida in the 1990s as an investigative reporter.
“I’ve always liked writing and storytelling,” he says. “While I worked as a more traditional journalist, I started reading fiction and became more interested in creative writing. I started to engage in more imaginative stories that I would dream up. For the last 20 years, I’ve pivoted back and forth between nonfiction and fictional short stories.”
In a day and age of constantly-evolving forms of media, Almond has carved out his own space across a wide array of platforms like others have had to do.
“Like lots of writers out there, I like to say I have many different jobs to help support my bad habit,” he jokes
Visiting Saint Leo’s Creative Writing Program
In July 2018, Almond had the opportunity to visit the Saint Leo University campus during the weeklong residency for the school’s creative writing graduate program. He was invited by the program director and longtime friend, Dr. Steve Kistulentz.
“I really had a great time there,” he says. “I’ve known Steve for many years, and I’ve always admired him as a great fiction writer, poet and teacher. He inspires students and makes them believe in literature and themselves.”
He adds that he was very inspired by the supportive nature of the students.
“You can always tell when students are passionate and believe in one another. Plus, when students are not as competitive and want to help each other be better writers, that’s when you know you’re in a good environment.”
Almond enjoyed the diversity of the group and feels he connected well with the varied group of students.
“It’s always exciting to know what you’re talking about is universal enough for writers of all backgrounds to appreciate. When you’re teaching, you’re always hoping to light that flame and transfer that insight from teacher to student. I know I’m fairly brash in how I present certain things about how beautiful yet difficult writing can be, and the students all seemed to be engaged.”
Knowing he’s making a positive impact through teaching is so rewarding to him, he adds.
“It’s tremendously exciting to know I have practical advice to help them do the heavy lifting on their own,” he says.
Becoming a Better Writer
He offers up some keys to success for writers of all ages and backgrounds.
“In my case, I generally jot down ideas and then organize them into a narrative. That’s how my mind works. I tell students about what I do, but it might not work for them. Each writer has to consider which style works best.”
He also believes a writer’s outlook changes over time.
“You have to do a self-inventory,” he says. “When I was in my 20s and 30s, I could procrastinate a little more and dream big. Now that I’m in my 50s and have a family, it’s a different calculus on how much time I have to devote to writing. You have to be your own boss and put yourself in control of your creative life.”
When it comes to publishing, Almond has taken both paths– working with traditional publishers and self-publishing some of his own works.
“With self-publishing, it’s usually the smaller and more unusual books I will publish myself. I wanted to create some shorter idiosyncratic books and put them out there into the world in a personal way. But I would not advocate self-publishing for writers who are early on in their careers. Self-publishing can seem quick and easy, but there’s a lot of time you have to devote on the back end as far as marketing the book. Publishers handle the design, copy editing, printing, distribution and promotion of the book so you can focus on the main craft of writing.”

Easy (No Cook) Homemade Play Dough Recipe
Play dough can be used for many science, engineering, and math explorations including our Play-Doh Math project. Here is an easy recipe for making play dough at home.
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup salt
- ¾ cup hot or boiling water
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil or baby oil
- 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
- Food coloring (optional)
- Mix the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a bowl.
- Add the oil, food coloring, and water.
- Fold the ingredients together with a spatula or mixing spoon to form a dough.
- At first, the dough may seem watery. Wait for a few minutes and it will firm up as the flour absorbs the moisture.
- In the unlikely case that the dough is still too loose after 15 minutes, mix in another ¼ cup of flour.

In the rejig on July 13, Chandrakant Kavalekar, Jennifer Monserrate and Filipe Nery Rodrigues were sworn in as ministers along with BJP leader Michael Lobo, who stepped down as Assembly Deputy Speaker.
Chandrakant Kavalekar: MLA from Quepem and till very recently the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Chandrakant ‘Babu’ Kavalekar is now the Deputy CM of the state. This is not the first time that a Congress Leader of Opposition has switched sides in Goa. In 2000, Ponda MLA and former CM Ravi Naik had joined the BJP under then-Chief Minister Late Manohar Parrikar. Till June, Kavalekar had been protesting against the installation of Savarkar’s portrait in the state secretariat, calling it an “insult to those who helped in getting Goa full statehood”.
Jennifer Monserrate: Goa’s first-time MLA from Taleigao, Jennifer is the wife of three-time legislator Atanasio Monserrate, who is facing trial for allegedly raping a minor in 2016. The Monserrates are the only couple to have been elected to the Goa Assembly, and both have now joined the BJP. The couple’s son was also booked for raping a German girl in 2011, though he was acquitted.
Filipe Nery Rodrigues: He is an MLA from Velim (South Goa) and is a Civil Engineer. He is one of those clean-image lawmakers with zero criminal case against him.
Michael Lobo: The Deputy Speaker of the Goa Assembly Michael Lobo has also resigned from the post and has joined the Pramod Sawant-led cabinet. Lobo belongs to the ruling BJP and submitted his resignation to Speaker Rajesh Patnekar. | <urn:uuid:7dce557c-cad0-4191-815c-25a4f0edc0b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tiranganews.in/politics-news/goa-know-the-congress-import-ministers-in-cm-pramod-sawants-cabinet/ | 2020-09-20T13:43:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974251 | 418 |

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Canadians not to become complacent during the COVID-19 crisis even as hospitalizations and death have been declining nationally.
He cautioned Wednesday (July 8) some “hotspots” still remain in long-term care and some agricultural setting.
The prime minister made the comments in a media briefing ahead of a scheduled fiscal update — or “snapshot” — from Finance Minister Bill Morneau later in the day.
Trudeau said he would leave the details of the snapshot to his finance minister, but added it was imperative for the federal government to have acted right from the outset of the COVID-19 crisis.
“The cost of doing nothing would have been far more,” he said, adding the pandemic has not been a time for “belt-tightening.”
He said the country has been able to slow down progression of the novel coronavirus significantly and parts of the economy have since been able to reopen.
Trudeau repeatedly touted the nation’s historically low interest rates, which he said would help pay off the accumulated debt.
“If the federal government hadn’t taken on significant debt in order to send money to Canadians to support businesses and households, what would Canadians have done?” he asked.
“They would have loaded up their credit cards, they would have scrambled to try and find ways to pay their bills, pay their groceries and figure out how to care for their loved ones.”
The prime minister said he’s confident about the federal government’s response to the pandemic, which has included hundreds of billions in spending, because of the reduced spread of COVID-19 over the past four months.
“This recession is very different from the last recession,” Trudeau said, adding the 2020 economic problems are related to a health crisis.
“There are going to be really important discussions and political debates about what our economy looks like in the coming years.”
He stated earlier in the briefing that his government was also at work at addressing racial injustices that have been brought to the forefront of conversation following the death of unarmed Black man George Floyd in Minneapolis in May.
Trudeau said fighting discrimination is a top priority and mentioned the need for more capital to help fund racialized entrepreneurs.
The prime minister also faced questions on his involvement in the government’s decision to award the handling of $900-million student grant program to the WE Charity, which has longstanding ties to Trudeau and his family.
“The recommendation to use WE to get opportunities out for young people was made by the public service, but as a cabinet we ratify those decisions,” Trudeau said, adding he did not recuse himself from any cabinet decisions related to the charity.
“I love long worked on youth issues both before I got into politics and since I’ve been in politics.”
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador are meeting in Washington, D.C., Wednesday to recognize the ratification of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaces NAFTA.
Trudeau had earlier declined the invite from Trump but he was quick to reiterate his concerns over the potential for the Americans to reintroduce aluminum tariffs on Canada.
He once again said the U.S. does not produce enough aluminum to fulfill domestic manufacturing needs and any tariffs against Canada imposed by the Americans would hurt the U.S. economy by adding additional costs to customers.
Trump originally hit Canada with aluminum tariffs in 2018, citing national security concerns. | <urn:uuid:dbdcd086-4de4-4104-9f80-39bd12136f25> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.vancourier.com/news/trudeau-cautions-against-covid-19-complacency-ahead-of-fiscal-snapshot-1.24166735 | 2020-09-20T13:47:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.976642 | 755 |

Articles of Impeachment: Part 1
“They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent;
adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.” Psalm 140:3
By Riley J. Hood—Milwaukee County Constitution Party:
Trump is being railroaded. The Congressional Black Caucus rants they are, “appalled by the latest allegations against President Trump and officials in his administration. Recent news reports revealed President Trump used the power of his office to solicit interference in the upcoming 2020 election by China and Ukraine.”
Grant’s VP Schuyler Colfax was part of the 1873 “Credit-Mobiler” scandal, Congressmen Wood and Tyner introduced resolutions, both went nowhere. In 1973 Nixon VP Spiro Agnew was investigated for taking kickbacks. Rep. Paul Findley introduced HR 569 opening an inquiry, Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973. Attempts were made against VP’s Bush41 and Dick Cheney.
GOP Secretary of War, William Belknap was impeached by the House in 1876, and acquitted by the Senate. Grant asked for his resignation. In 1922 GOP AG Harry Daugherty was accused of bootlegging, nothing happened. In 1932 GOP Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon faced charges before the House Judiciary Committee, then Mellon resigned. On May 23, 1933 Rep. Louis McFadden called for of impeachment against GOP Treasury Secretary Eugene Meyer, and former GOP Secretaries Andrew Mellon and Ogden Mills, against Currency Comptroller JFT O’Connor, former Comptroller John Pole, four members and three former members of the Federal Reserve Board, all of which failed. In 1939, Rep. J. Parnell Thomas offered an impeachment resolution against Democrat Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, and two other FDR administration officials, it died in the HJC. Democrat AG Griffin Bell had resolutions against him, which failed. In 2004 GOP Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld faced HR 629, sponsored by Charles Rangel, but it died in the HJC. In 2007, Rep Jay Inslee and 31 others sought Impeachment against GOP AG Alberto Gonzales, who resigned. In 2013 Rep Ted Toho announced an impeachment attempt against Democrat AG Eric Holder, but nothing happened to Holder.
All 3 attempts to remove the Federal Reserve Board failed. On February 12, 1917, Rep Charles Lindbergh Sr. offered articles of impeachment against 5 members of the Federal Reserve Board. They were referred to the HJC. On March 3, the HJC submitted its report, HR Rep. 64-1628, citing a lack of evidence. McFadden’s attempt is already noted. On March 7, 1985 Rep. Henry Gonzalez introduced HR 101 against Fed Chair Paul Volcker and 10 members of the Federal Open Market Committee and HR 102 against Volcker alone, which were tabled by the HJC. Gonzalez introduced bills in the next two congresses, which failed. The History of impeachment against Ambassadors, Marshalls and Port Commissioners is long and laborious, although impeachment for unelected bureaucrats is appropriate.
John Tyler, a Democratic-Republican was the first President to be investigated. Many attempts failed, including by Rep John Minor in 1843, and John Quincy Adams, because Tyler’s use of the veto. In 1860 Democrat James Buchanan faced the Covode Committee which couldn’t find cause, but condemned his administration.
Democrat Andrew Johnson was faced impeachment attempts by Republicans over his obstructing affirmative action. In January 1867 he was accused of corruption, and in November 1867 a second attempt failed. Johnson was impeached on February 24, 1868 and was acquitted by the Senate on May 16, 1868. Republican Ulysses Grant faced impeachment. Secretary of War Belknap was investigated and resigned. Upon learning of the Whiskey ring, Grant removed his personal secretary Oliver Babcock. Attempts against Grant failed, but it made for Democrat talking points in the 1876 election.
In 1932-33, Herbert Hoover (GOP), faced 2 resolutions by McFadden, the measures were tabled. After Harry Truman (DEM) sacked McArthur in the Korean War: Reps George Bender and Paul Schaefer introduced separate bills, both of which died in committees controlled by Democrats.
October 30, 1973, the HJC voted for impeachment inquiry against Richard Nixon (GOP). On February 6, 1974 the House passed a resolution giving the HJC authority to investigate. The HJC voted for 3 articles of Impeachment. Nixon’s tapes were subpoenaed and Nixon went to court to block the release of his tapes. Losing his case, US v Nixon, he resigned on August 9, 1974. Contrary to what people say, Nixon was never impeached. Democrats used “Watergate” to elect Jimmy Carter in 1976.
March 6, 1987, Rep Henry Gonzalez levelled impeachment charges against Ronald Reagan (GOP) over Iran-Contra. A special prosecutor was appointed, amounting to more hearings. On January 16, 1991, Gonzalez introduced HR 34 against Bush41(GOP) for “starting” Desert Storm. The resolution died in the HJC. Gonzalez tried again with HR 86 on February 21, which failed.
Bill Clinton(DEM) left a stain on Monica’s blue dress. He was impeached on December 19th, 1998 for perjury regarding the affair. He was acquitted by the Senate. Bush43(GOP) faced several resolutions, from the anti-war crowd, which failed.
Republican Donald Trump was attacked by America haters as soon as he won election. On July 12, 2017, Reps Al Green and Brad Sherman introduced HR 438. This and later motions were tabled or died in committee. On September 24, 2019, Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry based on hearsay from leakers. A resolution of inquiry passed on October 31, in which all Republicans and two Dems voted against. Hearings began November 13.
Remember the Constitution requires a two-third supermajority vote in both the House and Senate. While Trump is ahead in the polls, that has no bearing on the process. Impeachment is a Constitutional process, not a recall election. Dems in swing districts many be facing some blowback, but people have short attention spans. Special Counsels are criminal investigations under the Attorney General, they are not a part of the impeach process. They are sideshows, whether under Ken Starr, himself the subject of an impeachment attempt, or by Robert Muller. Regarding the Ukrainians and rants of “Quid Pro Quo,” most foreign policy is a form of Quid Pro-Quo, even many interventionists aren’t into funding our enemies. No foreign nation has automatic claim to our tax dollars. I vote Constitution Party, but no one deserves a constant barrage of phony allegations by greasy snitches. Democrats introduced Articles of Impeachment against every GOP President since Nixon, with the exception of Gerald Ford. They impeachment happy brats, yet the two impeached Presidents were both Democrats. No Republican President has ever been impeached or removed, as of 12/1/19. | <urn:uuid:9cef1bf2-3295-4a7d-9b15-b1888307f843> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.wisconsinreporter.com/news/trump-is-being-railroaded | 2020-09-20T14:16:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198213.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920125718-20200920155718-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974263 | 1,465 |
Unblock Gmail with a VPN
Have you ever experienced difficulties accessing Gmail when traveling abroad? In this article, we will teach you everything you need to know about unblocking Gmail while staying secure and private online. Furthermore, we will explain why a VPN is the safest and most reliable solution when it comes to unblocking Gmail. ZenMate is trusted by over 41 million users and is the best tool out there to unblock Gmail or any other geo-restricted content found on the web.
Gmail: A Leading Global Email Provider
Gmail is the leading email service provider and their market share reaches more than 50% each year. Most people around the world choose Gmail as their first major email service provider. Their service is proved to be efficient and easy to use. Gmail has a very large data storage and it gives access to other useful Google tools such as Google Drive and Calendar. Without a doubt, Gmail is one of the best email services available today.
Now imagine that Gmail is no longer available. Suddenly you will not be able to contact your friends and family. You are also not able to share business-related documents with your colleagues. Furthermore, accessing all other Google platforms will be impossible. This may result in a significant decrease in productivity, potentially harming your business performance.
Why is Gmail blocked?
Why then does some countries or region want to ban Gmail and other Google tools? The answer to this is mainly government surveillance and censorship. Gmail is a very secure email service provider which makes it difficult for the surveillance agencies to extract emails. For countries that want to track individual’s use of the Internet and one’s personal information, providers such as Gmail is not welcomed.
Where is it blocked?
In presence, an access to Gmail is limited in countries such as China, Cuba, North Korea, Syria and the majority of Arab countries. China, for example, is especially notorious for its Internet surveillance and censorship. Have you ever heard of the Great Firewall of China? This satirical nickname was given to China for its endeavor to regulate the Internet domestically. Internet surveillance and censorship in China are severe and the government monitors the internet access of individuals.
How To Unblock Gmail Using A VPN
This is where a VPN comes into play. A VPN is a simple and reliable tool that hides your IP address and unblocks Gmail. An IP address is similar to a postal address in that it identifies your computer or mobile devices and represents your virtual location online. Although an IP address is necessary for any online activities, it can also be a restriction as it reveals who is trying to access the content and even where and when you are accessing it.
However, with a VPN, there is no need to worry anymore. At ZenMate VPN, we have different servers located in various worldwide locations and are able to re-route your traffic to hide your original IP address and exchange it with one from another server. What’s more, we also encrypt all of your traffic, ensuring your security and anonymity online.

We offer our VPN services on all browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, as well as all major mobile platforms, including Android and iOS. With ZenMate VPN you can unblock Gmail from anywhere.
The danger of free proxies
When choosing a VPN service, there are many providers and proxy websites that offer to unblock Gmail for free. However, a VPN infrastructure costs money, meaning if a VPN provider or proxy isn't charging their users, you must ask yourself where they are getting their money from. Many free VPN providers make money by storing and selling their user's data or by selling their bandwidth. Hence you need to be aware of the danger of using a proxy when unblocking Gmail. Instead, use a VPN which not only unblocks Gmail but also protects your personal information when sharing documents online.
Download ZenMate VPN in 3 Simple Steps

The lifespan of a garage door is about 30 years. However, in order for your door to live a full and complete life, you need to properly take care of it. Unfortunately, winter produces many elements that can be harmful to your garage door. Learning about these problems and how to prevent them can help you ensure your garage door lasts. Here are three garage door problems caused by winter and how you can prevent them.
When it is cold outside, the metal wheels that help to raise or lower your garage door may stick or not turn. This can cause your door to stall or stop dead in its tracks and not open or close like you want. Lubricating the wheels before the cold weather sets in is strongly recommended. However, when you lubricate them, use a silicon-based lubricant. Many people use an oil-based one, such as WD-40. However, this can freeze over in winter, causing the same issue you are trying to prevent and it is technically a degreaser, not a lubricant.
Another issue that can occur with a garage door is an ice dam forming at the base of the garage door. Most garages are warmer than outside air. As such, when snow rests against your garage door, it may began to melt quickly due to the warm air on the other side of the door. However, if temperatures drop quickly, this melted water can then turn to ice, causing an ice dam to form right against your garage door. This can prevent you from being able to open your garage door or can cause rust to form. Shoveling snow away from your garage door can prevent this problem.
Garage Door Collisions
The last issue that can cause damage to your garage door during the winter months is a garage door collision. If you have snow or ice in your driveway, your car may slide into the garage door, causing a huge dent. A large dent can prevent the door from being able to open or close and can reduce the curb appeal of your home. If your driveway is prone to ice forming in the winter months, sprinkle salt or sand on the driveway. This will help prevent ice from forming, while also creating traction that can prevent your car from sliding if ice does form.
Cold weather, snow, and ice can all reduce the lifespan of your garage door. They can make the wheels freeze, cause an ice dam at the foot of your garage door, or cause your car to slide into the door. Taking the right steps can help reduce the likelihood of any of these things causing major damage to your garage door. Click here for more info on protecting your garage door this winter.Share

For years, my wife and I debated on what we wanted to do with all of the spare land in the back of our house. We were lucky enough to buy a house on an extra-large lot for a great deal, but the land was "going to waste" for quite a while. One day, we finally decided to have a guest house built on it, and now that the house is finished, we wish we had built it long ago. We are now renting it out for some extra income, and it is helping us save for retirement. I have always been fascinated by construction, so I enjoyed watching the professionals build the guest house and learned a lot during the process. I decided to fill some free time by blogging about the experience and sharing some construction info I learned during the process. Come back soon! | <urn:uuid:a426bed7-f699-45ef-8e56-d96040f38625> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://oh-4510.com/2017/01/11/how-to-prevent-problems-with-your-garage-that-are-brought-on-by-cold-weather/ | 2020-09-29T17:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.964265 | 706 |
Now, this may seem like repetition to you, but the phrases “California politician” and “anti-gunner” don’t always mean the same thing. It’s true, though, that many politicians from California (Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris, for example) never met a gun control law that they didn’t want to marry on the first date.
Sadly, California Representative Eric Swalwell is one of those delusional anti-gunner politicians from California. And this guy is completely out of touch with reality when it comes to guns and Second Amendment supporters. Harold Hutchison gives us the details:
Last week, Representative Eric Swalwell, who has in the past proposed an Australia-style “buyback” of certain firearms and who threatened to nuke gun owners who wouldn’t turn in their guns, claimed on Twitter that the NRA threatened Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Well, that was a lie and one that was quickly shot down in the wake of his tweet.
But Swalwell’s doubled down on his smears and lies, claiming the NRA is taking Russian money. I guess he’s decided that if he tweets lies that are outrageous enough often enough that they will be seen as the truth. In any case, Second Amendment supporters need to view this increasingly escalating pattern with a great deal of concern.
Hutchison then showed a Tweet from Swalwell in response to a Tweet from the NRA. Swalwell’s Tweet read, “Fancy ad! Amazing what an infusion of Russian cash can buy. But seeing that Russians don’t have gun rights, you should probably ask yourselves why they’re helping you.”
So, Swalwell is trying to paint the NRA as in collusion with the Russians to destroy America.
Yeah, right. Frankly, that doesn’t make any sense. Since gun control doesn’t reduce gun violence, even if the Russians are trying to take down America, why would they do it by supporting the NRA? It’s not like that would cause more people to die.
But, supporting gun control will. All you have to do is actually think it through to realize that Swalwell, like so many other anti-gun politicians, has been sniffing glue before posting on social media.
What’s sad is that so many anti-gunners in America have swallowed that Kool-Aid, too. That’s why we must stay vigilant to protect our gun rights. | <urn:uuid:ba5df215-c187-4463-bf82-08fd4061f890> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://preparedgunowners.com/2019/03/15/ca-anti-gunner-politician-goes-full-delusional-in-attacking-the-nra/ | 2020-09-29T16:52:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966162 | 528 |

Ligonier Ministries has a list and discussion of their top five commentaries on 1-2 Chronicles.It is hard to find too much fault with the list given the relative paucity of solid commentaries on Chronicles. That being said, I think that I would move J. A. Thompson from the runners-up to the top five, probably replacing Pratt. Also it would be hard to exclude Gary Knoppers' two volume work in the Anchor Bible series. To the runners-up list I would add J. B. Payne (EBC), Eugene Merril, and Tuell (Interpretation). In any case, the top five Keith Mathison has listed are:
1. Roddy L. Braun and Raymond B. Dillard -- 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles (Word Biblical Commentary, 1986, 1987).
2. Richard L. Pratt -- 1 & 2 Chronicles (Mentor Commentary, 1998).
3. Martin Selman. -- 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries 1994).
4. Andrew E. Hill -- 1 & 2 Chronicles (NIV Application Commentary, 2003).
5. Sara Japhet -- 1 & 2 Chronicles (Old Testament Library, 1993).

I recently posted on four suggestions from Peter Mead on planning a preaching series on a Gospel book. Peter has now offered four more helpful suggestions. They are,
Decide how many messages the series will last, then select accordingly. You might only deal with a part of the gospel (such as the Upper Room Discourse). You might select exemplary units that point to the flow in which they sit (such as Luke 19:1-10 with reference to the preceding flow of stories). You might choose to preach larger chunks in order to cover the whole text in some way.
Commit to learning the theology and terminology of whichever gospel writer you are preaching. Try to preach John in John’s terms and emphasizing John’s theology. Luke has his own distinctive set of vocabulary. Mark has his own style. Try to let the details of the messages reflect the book from which they are taken.
Preach the gospel you are in, not all four. Use cross-checks in a gospel harmony only to make sure you see what is emphasized in your focus gospel, and to make sure you don’t preach historical inaccuracy. Avoid the temptation to preach the event rather than the text (the latter is inspired).
Try to plan the series to consistently reflect the uniqueness of the gospel. For instance, Matthew alternates between discourse and narrative sections – you might alternate messages from these sections (samples from within the two or three chapter chunks, or overview messages of those sections).

Peter Mead has some good advice for planning a preaching series in a Gospel. His first four points are:
Get to grips with the gospel before you plan the series. Some good study in a gospel will give you a sense of the flow and structure, of the big themes, the major chunks and so on. This will all help to plan the series creatively.
Recognize that individual units are strung together to make a broader point. As I presented here recently, Luke 18:9 reaches on through 19:10 at least. Seeing how these units work together will help to understand the larger sweep of the book.
Wrestle with the flow of the whole. John’s themes of the deity of Christ, belief and life, recur throughout the book of signs, culminating in the climactic miracle of the raising of Lazarus. Mark’s two overarching questions of who is Jesus and what does it mean to follow him control content throughout the gospel. Once the disciples finally recognize and declare who Jesus is, they discover that they cannot have the Messiah without the cross – so in the end it is the climactic statement of the Centurion that pulls it all together. Try to relate the parts to the whole so that the series has evidence of unity in the way it is presented.
Consider giving an overview sermon at the start and/or end of the series. This can really help listeners to see the flow of the whole and orient them to the message of the book.

Ligonier Ministries has a list and discussion of their top five commentaries on Acts.The list is solid but I would suggest that Polhill (NAC) and Luke Timothy Johnson (Sacra Pagina) probably belong in the top five, perhaps replacing Bruce and Marshall. In the runners-up I would include Stanley Toussaint's work in The Bible Knowledge Commentary. In any case, the top five they have listed are:
1. Darrell L. Bock -- Acts (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament, 2007).
2. F.F. Bruce -- The Book of the Acts (New International Commentary on the New Testament, 1988).
3. C.K. Barrett. -- Acts 1-14, Acts 15-28 (International Critical Commentary, 2004).

John Walton has posted on reclaiming the Old Testament for the Church. Here are a couple of paragraphs from his admonition.
Read the entire post here.
What would account for how few sermons are preached on the Old Testament? Its canonical status is no less than that of the New Testament, and it comprises two-thirds of our authoritative revelation from God. So why is it preached so infrequently? I am persuaded that much of the explanation is found in the fact that we simply don’t know what to do with it. Every person reading through the Bible has experienced at one point or another that uncomfortable feeling of wondering, “What is this doing in my Bible?” Maybe they are reading Leviticus or Song of Songs. Perhaps they experience it even in some of the narratives of Genesis.
The key to approaching the Old Testament is to remember that at every point it is God’s revelation of himself to us. Our first question, therefore, should always be, “What does this passage tell me about God?” It is interesting that what is preached most are the Old Testament stories. Unfortunately, when we read them, we are often drawn to the characters in the narratives as we seek to have the faith of Abraham, the courage of Esther, the loyalty of Ruth, the heart of David, etc. There is nothing wrong with challenges to have more of those qualities in our lives. But in the end, these are stories about God more than about Abraham, Esther, Ruth or David. | <urn:uuid:502180de-9347-47f1-bf00-121949fa7fd7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.bibleexposition.net/2008_08_24_archive.html | 2020-09-29T17:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.916036 | 2,198 |
Whether in the classroom, at home, on the playground or sports field, or out in public, it is easy to appreciate the behaviors of "good kids." It can be easy to express satisfaction with good behavior, but it can sometimes be a challenge to address less than desirable behavior. Fortunately for us, God knows how to respond to our sinful nature!
God sent Jesus to save us while we were still sinners. We should always try to be better people and live better lives through God's love and guidance, but He doesn't expect us to save ourselves. He offers redemption to all of us because He knows that there is nothing we could sacrifice, nothing we could do, that could earn redemption or escape our sinful nature. After accepting God's forgiveness, we can better understand God's mercy. As we grow and understand God's mercy, we can show it to others!
Be thankful that God saved you while you were still a sinner and show mercy to others!

Grievance Procedure for Students with DisabilitiesCCBC has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging violation of the American With Disabilities Act as Amended (ADAAA) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S. Co 794). Section 504 states, in part, that "no otherwise qualified individual with a disability...shall, solely by reason of their disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
Students who have worked with a Disability Support Services Counselor should first attempt to resolve any accommodation problems by discussion with their Counselor and instructors, as appropriate.
For purposes of this student grievance procedure, the term "violation" includes an allegation from a student that the accommodation offered by the College is inadequate. The student who believes a violation has occurred should attempt to resolve the issue by by contacting the CCBC Director of Disability Support Services at 443.840.1741. The Director will attempt to mediate the issue and, if unsuccessful in that attempt, shall provide the student with a copy of this 504/ADA Student Grievance Procedure.
Complaints filed under this internal grievance procedure must be in writing and delivered in person or by mail to the Dean of Student Development . Contact information is available from the Dean’s office at 443.840.4210.
- A complaint must be filed in writing, contain the name, address and phone number of the student filing it, and briefly describe the alleged violation of the regulations.
- A complaint must be filed within 30 days after the student, the DSS Counselor and Director are unable to resolve an alleged violation.
- If the violation is based on inadequate accommodation, the complaint shall contain examples of what accommodation the student deems adequate. Individuals have the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence of the alleged violation.
- The Dean of Student Development shall determine whether the complaint warrants further investigation. If further investigation is warranted the Dean will conduct the investigation.
- A written determination as to the validity of the complaint and a description of the resolution, if any, will be issued by the Dean of Student Development and a copy forwarded to the student no later than 45 days after the complaint was filed.
- Files and records relating to complaints will be maintained in the office of the Dean of Student Development . State and federal laws regarding confidentiality will be upheld.
- The student may appeal the final determination of the Dean of Student Development. The appeal should be made, in writing, to the Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services within 15 days of receipt of the final determination. Contact information may be obtained by calling 443.840.4081.
- The Community College of Baltimore County encourages individuals to use the “internal grievance procedure” outlined above for resolution of their concerns. However; individuals also have the right to file civil rights complaints with appropriate external agencies. No retaliation will be taken against a person for filing a complaint with an external agency dealing with Section 504 or ADA complaints.
- These procedures will be construed to protect the substantive rights of interested persons, meet appropriate due process standards and assure that The Community College of Baltimore County complies with the ADA, Section 504 and their implementing regulations. | <urn:uuid:a59e187d-ee3e-406f-a7a0-e67ffb2d0fb0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.ccbcmd.edu/Resources-for-Students/Disability-Programs-and-Services/Services-for-Credit-and-NonCredit-Students/Grievance-Procedures | 2020-09-29T18:21:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.936324 | 678 |
Eye Candy — May the 14th Be With You

Text by Megan McIlwain
This weekend gives you options with a few artist talks, openings, screenings and parties. Cross your fingers for strictly cloudy skies.
Cuban artist Alex Hernández Dueñas is showing an exhibition of paintings, glass etchings, and works on paper at Octavia Art Gallery with a reception from 5-8.
Inspired by artists like David Hockney and Richard Diebenkorn, Dueñas’ flat and softly colored compositions create a dreamlike setting in vacant places. In his new series of glass etchings, Dueñas sketches architectural images of American and Cuban golf and yacht clubs, however, they only exist as shadows when light is projected through their surface. His work investigates themes of status privilege within society through images of pristine pools, manicured lawns, and sleek homes. The idealized images symbolize aesthetic taste, expectations, and desire, reflecting the Cuban dream of Miami as a place of abundance, opportunity, and constant sunshine. This perspective exposes the decades of Cuban isolation and its citizens’ lack of awareness of the current realities of American life.
With bands, artist, and films the Generators Playground brings you a collaboration show with Senior Jukebox and Black Cassidy at Eastdown Warehouse from 6pm-2am. See what happens when both arts organizations bring together some of the most talented visual artists, vendors and musicians. Explore the local art scene with Bryan Lee, B1 art studio, Gicova Colton Canava, Cyko Marz, Sylvia F. Narvaez Blanco, Doll Partzz Asylum, Luna D. Lobos, Natalia Victoria, Richard Ortiz, Ms. Mata’s Art, Misa Minx Art, and Sherry Davis. Music from Shrey Day, Locate, Frog Hair, Lunch Break for Lyfe, Sir Mice, Dangfoo, Derek Casas, sets begin at 7pm.
BooTown’s next big Benshi show, I Don’t Wanna, You Can’t Make Me debuts at Orange Show both Friday and Saturday night. For the unaware, Benshi were Japanese performers who, during the silent film era, stood next to the side of the movie screen and relayed the story to the audience in theatrical style, speaking for the characters and such. BooTown puts their own spin on this classic form by cutting and re-editing a cult film and re-interpreting the plot. To make it even more interesting, all of the dialogue and music is performed live. The movie of choice is Hulk Hogan 90s classic, Suburban Commando. Director Lindsay Burleson is joined by a cast of voices including anime voice genius Andrew Love, local improver Ruth Hirsch, and funny-man-about-town Conner Clifton. Houston musician Joe Wozny will return to write and perform an original score for the performance. Austin Havican, BooTowns resident video wizard, will edit the movie. Head out to Orange Show Friday to catch opening band Something Fierce and Saturday with Vacation Eyes, beginning at 8pm. $15 tickets here or $20 at the door.
Head out to Houston Center for Contemporary Craft from 11-3 for Empty Bowls, a grassroots effort by artists and craftspeople in cities across the country to feed the hungry in their communities. Presented by Whole Foods Market, Empty Bowls Houston is implemented locally by Houston-area ceramists and various artists, HCCC, and Houston Food Bank. With a $25 donation you can select a bowl from hundreds of handcrafted bowls donated by local artists and have some soup (and I think some bread?) donated by Whole Foods. Plus, artist presentations throughout the day!
VBB Borderlines brings you the latest Living Room Art production, Migrations + Movement: [Un]Welcome. Led by Michelle Garcia, artist team members Diana Barrera, Eris DeBruin, and Charisse Weston will curate the apartment home of Gulfton resident Eduardo Flores (6060 Gulfton Apt. #1909 77081) to bring you a unique artistic experience that questions who is allowed to cross borders and how artists find empowerment in being “unwelcome.” From 3-6pm, the afternoon includes mixed media installations and performances by local and international artists: Karen Martinez and Gumaro Armando Silva, (Houston), Britto Arts Trust and Sadya Mizan, (Bangladesh), Manolo Lugo and Francisco-Fernando Granados, (Canada), Veer Munshi, Masooma Syed and Sebastian Varghese, (India), Claudia Espinosa aka Cerrucha, (Mexico), and Farrukh Adnan, (Pakistan). Music by DJ Lalo and refreshments donated by Whole Foods Montrose and St. Arnold’s Brewery.
Have a discussion with artist Marshall Harris about Dark Matters: and other topics for awkward dinner conversation, his current exhibition of graphite drawings and large-scale installations at Nicole Longnecker Gallery, 3pm.
Art League Houston invites you over for a screening of The Lucky Seven: Adventures of the New Saints, the exhibition by Stephanie Saint Sanchez currently on view. Inspired by the history of the Patron Saints, the exhibition playfully tells the story of seven new patron saints who have been created in response to present-day socio-political issues, and everyday living. Each Saint is honored with an elaborate altarpiece covered in candles, daily prayers, and other significant trinkets. The screening is from 3-5pm in the Main Gallery. Check out John Medina’s I Thought I Heard Music, But I Can’t See the Truck and Lovie Olivia’s DAMASK while you’re there!
Join artists of the PDM15 group exhibition Conditions for an artist talk at BLUEorange Gallery from 1-2:30. Conditions describes the wide variety of environment and starting points for each artist’s work. Such a diverse group of artists presents an equally diverse set of ideas and approaches to the photographic medium as an interdisciplinary. PDM 15 is the senior class of the UH BFA Photography/Digital Media (PDM) program. The PDM program provides an intensive studio course where the students work on conceptual art projects formed around digital and lens-based work. Each year, the students from PDM put together a group senior thesis exhibition of their work. This exhibition is organized by the students, with the assistance of faculty and provides each student with the opportunity to showcase their work from their final year of the program.
Join writer Pete Gershon for a public panel discussion featuring Lynn Randolph, Marilyn Oshman, Richard Stout, Earl Staley, Kelly Alison, and other local artists and administrators on Pow Wow: Contemporary Artists Working in Houston 1972-1985.
“In the 1970s and ‘80s, Houston emerged as a significant city for the arts, fueled by the oil boom and the arrival of several catalyzing figures including James Harithas, John Alexander, and James Surls. In 1985, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston presented Fresh Paint, a nationally-publicized survey of work by Houston artists that seemed to suggest the city was about to be recognized, along with New York and Los Angeles, as the country’s third major center for art-making activity. The mid-‘80s oil bust temporarily sapped the scene of some energy and resources, but the seeds had been sown for the vibrant community of visual art that Houstonians enjoy today.”
Sit in on the discussion from 2-4 at Glassell School of Art.
In conjunction with Sunday Streets, the East End Houston Culture District will host a ton of open studios, galleries, and theaters in one of Houston’s most interesting creative spaces. Houston Makerspace (3605 Texas) will be throwing a birthday bash at their new digs, ArtSquare Studios II (2327 Commerce) will have demonstrations of weaving, spinning and felting. Make your own Sunprint at BOX 13 (6700 Harricburg) and Screen Printing Gallery (4202 Canal) and El Rincon Social (3210 Preston) are always a good time. This is just to name a few that will have their doors open in Houston’s unique East End, full list here.
Blaffer Art Museum brings you Shane Tolbert: Fine China, the newest installment of the museum’s Window into Houston series at its satellite downtown Houston location, 110 Milam Street, with a reception from 7:30 to 9:30pm, the exhibition continues through July 29. Tolbert’s installation of three site-specific mural-length paintings marks an expansive departure from previous Window into Houston exhibitions. For the first time, the works will be displayed outside, exposed to the rain and eventual expected summer heat along the facades of three buildings including 112 Milam and the Magnolia Ballroom.

Abstract: We introduce a semiparametric generalized linear models framework for time-series data that does not require specification of a working distribution or variance function for the data. Rather, the conditional response distribution is treated as an infinite-dimensional parameter, which is then estimated simultaneously with the usual finite-dimensional parameters via a maximum empirical likelihood approach. A general consistency result for the resulting estimators is shown. Simulations suggest that both estimation and inferences using the proposed method can perform as well as a correctly-specified parametric model even for moderate sample sizes, but is much more robust than parametric methods under model misspecification. The method is used to analyse the Polio dataset from Zeger (1988).

Thanks for posting this. I’m a great Whitechapel fan. I have been there many times. It really is a step back in time. Parts of the premises are as they were over 200 years ago. A visit to the foundry is a must for every bell enthusiast. It so happens I’m off there on Monday next to discuss my next project which is to have bells made and engraved for my three daughters and four grandchildren. I have in mind spreading it over the next few years – good excuse for more visits. They will do all sorts of little one off jobs like replacement handles or clappers. They made me a frame last year for one of their old bells I managed to find on my travels.
What a wonderful memento for your family. Please let us see the bells when you get them. My mother gave me a Whitechapel bell for my 50th birthday, and now whenever I ring it I can recall the happy times we spent together.
I shall be going to Sri Lanka in May and I plan to take some of the small Whitechapel bells with me to give as gifts to our Lions friends, and on the same principle, I hope that when they ring their bell it will remind them of the happy times we shared together. | <urn:uuid:9b5fbd72-d0ac-4148-b1e8-ca00dc491976> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://americanbell.org/aba-forum/topic/publicity-about-whitechapel-bell-foundry/ | 2020-09-29T16:02:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.970948 | 264 |
I'm trying to get Multibit wallet set up on my new Tails USB. It's up and running, but isn't able to connect to the internet. It just says "Connecting" in red.
The message log says this -
http://www.multibit.org/help_contents.html Loading... Unable to load "http://www.multibit.org/help_contents.html". The error was "java.net.ConnectException Connection refused".
I'm guessing I need to configure something and perhaps launch Multibit from the command line rather than clicking the icon but I'm new to both Tails and Multibit.
Does anyone have any experience or pointers as to what I need to enable?

Philippines: At least 10 killed in car bomb attack by ISIS-linked terrorists
Ten people, including troops and civilians, were killed when an explosion tore through a van at an army checkpoint in the southern Philippines Tuesday. Authorities warns the blast could be linked to a wider plot by ISIS-linked terrorists.
The powerful explosion happened after soldiers and pro-government militia troops stopped the vehicle and tried to search it, on the outskirts of the mainly Christian city of Lamitan, which is on the predominantly Muslim island of Basilan.
The van driver, a Muslim terrorist member of the ISIS-linked Abu Sayyaf terror group blew himself up and killed one soldier, five militia troops and four civilians.
Government forces had been on heightened alert after receiving reports that terrorists planned to plant improvised explosives in areas around the island, Philippine military spokesman Colonel Edgard Arevalo told reporters in Manila.
“We can just imagine the tragedy that this would bring to the people of Basilan had we not stopped them at the checkpoint,” he said.
Basilan is a stronghold of the notorious Abu Sayyaf kidnap-for-ransom terror group. | <urn:uuid:e94ad66a-e81d-44b1-81bf-7818cebc5ded> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://btnews.online/archives/88004/philippines-at-least-10-killed-in-car-bomb-attack-by-isis-linked-terrorists/ | 2020-09-29T17:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961797 | 234 |

a super chilled, DIY festival wedding, in a tipi on a beautiful hilltop overlooking a Bridgnorth valley.
A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE BIGGER THAN THE AVERAGE CHILD, A GROUP MACARENA DANCE, DOGGO’S ROAMING FREE, 2 FUNKY CONVERTED HORSE BOXES AND AAAALL THE LOVE AND JOY.
Josh and Holly’s wedding was completely DIY. After getting married in a lovely wee church tucked away in the trees of Tuck Hill, they chose to throw an epic, festival-style party, in a tipi on farmland owned by Josh’s family.
Sitting on the top of a hillside overlooking the most beautiful scenic valley was a tipi surrounded by funky little food and drinks vans (2 being converted horse boxes), hay bales and a fire pit. This wedding was completely unique and DIY.
Josh and Holly got married in a lovely wee church just down the road from their family farmland on one of the hottest days of the year.
It was such a lovely relaxed, joyful day. Full of love, laughter, Zambucca shots AND the biggest bottle of champagne I have ever seen! The sun-baked down. The kids rode their bikes around the field. Friends dogs roamed free and chewed the logs that were awaiting the fire pit. And the love just oozed from Holly & Josh all day long.
The bride on how did I as their festival tipi wedding photographer:
“Charlie, we watched it [their sneak peek slideshow] and we loved it!! Thank you so much!! It really reminded me of all the little things you forget about the day. The photos are perfect!! Thanks again, we’re so pleased with them. xxx”
For those who like to watch rather than read:
more detail about the day
Josh and Holly got married in the Holy Innocents’ Church in Tuck Hill, Six Ashes. It was the cutest church tucked right away down winding lanes, surrounded by lovely old trees. The vicar was fab; full of life, jokes and laughter.
The trees made for some lovely shade which was much needed as it was a super hot day. This area also made for gorgeous dappled light for the photos.
The festival party
After the church, everyone headed down the road to the festival spot. They were greeted by a host of funky food vans and a horsebox bar created by the Drawing Board in Leamington Spa. The guys on the bar also bought a vintage steel bath to cool the beers and HUGE bottle of champagne that Josh’s dad had bought along. Getting the cork out of that bad boy was fun!
The super talented and barefoot guys from Synergy played live whilst guests chilled and drank Pimms. The kids had a wild time zooming around on bikes and eating aaaaall the lollies and sugar.
Guests were seated in the tipi for food and some hilarious speeches. Hat’s off to Holly’s dad who, in ode to what he had to endure all through Holly’s teenage years, managed to co-ordinate a whole tipi dance of the Macarena.
We were treated to an absolute beaut of a golden hour and sunset which made for some amazing photo opportunities. Doughnuts were served instead of cake (…might have scoffed a few of those sugary babies.. they were Krispy Kreme after all!). And then the party really got going. I left everyone tearing up the dance floor.
As ever, weddings don’t just happen. They are always pulled together by truly awesome teams of suppliers who work tirelessly to make sure that everyone has a fantastic day. This particular team was made up of loads of fab local suppliers:
The dress: David’s bridal
Men’s suits: Next
The beautiful flowers: Eloquent flowers
Wedding stationary: Holly’s very talented sister at Feather & Flourish
Venue: Josh’s family farmland
Tipi Hire: Timber and Canvass
Power, Sound and Lighting: Claritas AV
Live band: Synergy
Bar: Playing the field by the Drawing Board Pub in Leamington Spa
Wood-fired Pizza van: Toad’s Mill Kitchen
Doughnuts (cake): Krispy Kreme
DJ: Paul Foster
and finally, the all-important wedding photographs

This is part two of a short series in which I look at Stanley Grenz’s theological anthropology as it can be found in “The Social God and the Relational Self: A Trinitarian Theology of the Imago Dei.”
As I have already hinted in the previous post, Grenz’s project can best be understood as intentionally engaging post-modernism from an evangelical perspective. Grenz states that this project is a part of a larger attempt in attempting to “set forth a coherent Christian theological articulation that is cognizant of the intellectual challenges posed by central postmodern sensitivities.” In addition to his attunement to postmodern sensitivities, Grenz is attuned to the 20th century renaissance of Trinitarian theology and the implications of Trinitarianism for the rest of theology. Grenz explicitly states that truly Trinitarian theology does not simply involve engaging with the doctrine of the Trinity, it “entails viewing all aspects of Christian doctrine in a Trinitarian light.” These two features of his method, his post-modern sensibilities and Trinitarian commitments, emerge as the first key component of his method for doing theological anthropology: a commitment to doing theological anthropology simultaneously from above and from below, that is from the divine to the creaturely and from the creaturely to the divine. This commitment to simultaneously doing theology from above and from below is just one example of how his postmodern sensibilities affect his theological method. As an evangelical, he clearly wants to give appropriate authority to the typical “from above” type sources: Scripture, Creeds, Tradition. However, being sensitive to post-modernism, he realizes that all theology is done in a creaturely context, which in turn affect how we understand the “from-above” type sources. Thus Grenz allows these sources to mutually inform one another.
In addition to his commitment to doing theological anthropology simultaneously from above and from below Grenz is committed to doing what could be called Christological Anthropology. Briefly, this can be thought of as approach to theological anthropology “in which Christology warrants important claims about what it means to be human.” This is especially clear towards the final chapters of The Social God and the Relational Self. For instance in the chapter titled “From Humankind to the True Human” Grenz has a section titled “The Imago Dei and the True Human” in which he highlights the fact that the New Testament writers elevate Christ as the image of God, and by extension declare that “the believing Community shares in this new Christocentric anthropology.” Chapters five and six can be understood as the development of this Christological Anthropology. In chapter five he develops what Scripture means when it says that Christ is the image of God and in chapter six he develops the notion that humanity’s eschatological telos is participation in the image of Christ.
Another one of Grenz’s methodological commitments is his commitment to doing theology for the sake of the church. For Grenz this means that theology is communal and eschatological. Once again, this commitment is expressed in the final four chapters of his book where it becomes clear that he does not see participation in Christ’s image as an individualistic goal, rather he states that participation in Christ’s image is the eschatological destiny given to the new humanity. Further, Grenz adds that “the transformation is not directed toward individuals in isolation….Instead, it involves the transformation of all one’s relationships, and it entails the creation of a new community of those who share together in the transforming presence of the Spirit.” Grenz’s commitment to theology which is communal and eschatological can further be seen in his final constructive proposal in which he states the Christian identify is more than personal, it is a shared identity. This shared identity is what Grenz calls the Ecclesial Self. The self, which finds its fulfillment in the eschaton, is constituted through the relationality of those who by the Spirit are “in Christ’.”
One final, methodological commitment, which might be easy to overlook is Grenz’s Pannenbergian understanding of the development of history and theology. Pannenberg, who was Grenz’s doktorvater, believed that the truth of Christian doctrine unfolds partly by means discussion and deliberation. This belief leads Pannenberg to include long sections of exposition detailing the historical development of doctrine in his multi-volume systematic theology. In providing long, detailed outlines behind the history of doctrines, he shows his belief that doctrine does not just materialize, rather doctrine has a history which develops and eventually matures. The structure of Grenz’s work displays his commitment to a method akin to Pannenberg’s. In part one Grenz sketches the development of Trinitarian thought from Hegel to LaCugna. He states that this ongoing development of Trinitarian theology entails “a more profound understanding of God as inherently relational and dynamic.” His belief that doctrine develops positively by means of theological debate is made even clearer when he says that “the retrieval of doctrine of the Trinity has paved the way for a fully theological anthropology,” (as if this was impossible prior to the 20th century). His commitment to a Pannenbergian understanding of the development of history and theology is further displayed in the fact that chapters two and three map the conditions that gave birth to the postmodern loss of self. Chapter two traces the rise of the concept of the centered self whereas chapter three traces the undoing of the concept of self. Much like Pannenberg who traces the historical development of concepts in depth, for the sake of showing that true doctrine develops and unfolds through history, Grenz seems to imply that a more accurate notion of the self has gradually developed thanks to these historical theological and philosophical movements. In other words, a truer anthropology has developed and is developing through the history of theology. | <urn:uuid:6c3b306c-db0b-4ac0-9eab-95b496912370> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cwoznicki.com/2017/09/21/stanley-grenzs-theological-anthropology-method-pt-2/ | 2020-09-29T17:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.952175 | 1,233 |
Taking part in Lego Serious Play Workshop as a team player was awesome!
Great fun and learnings from certified Lego Serious Play profi Oliver Kruth. This was a super session, one of many, at the two-day Un-Conference “Product People” for agile product managers.
It took place at the cool AXA New Work space in Köln and thanks to the organizational flair and of founder of the event Mr. Boeffi plus his skill for bringing together quality and talent, it was a really worthwhile learning event.
My own design thinking lecture and workshop were a welcome opportunity to show agile product owners’ user-centered value in creative, collaborative, human centered design. It was important to me to bring the “design” abstract part into the “doing” and give participants chance to prototype their solutions and test.
I used some improv energizers in both the keynote and workshop; that seemed to surprise people and really got them to move in body and mind. The laughing was good too, this helps people open up to more creative ideas. | <urn:uuid:bfd8247e-9b2a-46f6-a714-b6c58bf9da0e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://designchange.de/en/design-thinking-flash-and-keynote-inspired-by-lego-serious-play/ | 2020-09-29T16:12:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.972189 | 223 |
When I think of homemade strawberry shortcake I don’t usually think easy or simple; I think pastry dough, lots of lamination, kneading, cutting in butter, etc. After some research I found a few reputable recipes that were way simplified vis-à-vis the invention of all purpose baking mixes in the 1930’s (King Arthur, Serious Eats, Betty Crocker). Though skeptical, I gave it a try. I can confidently say this six ingredient strawberry shortcake is completely legit and will definitely be my go-to recipe from now on!
Domestocrat’s Six Ingredient Strawberry Shortcake (makes 6 shortcakes)
- 2 cups all purpose baking mix (not to be confused with all purpose flour; I used Jiffy’s version but King Arthur has one, Bisquick would work, etc)
- 1 cup heavy cream (you can use a second cup to make homemade whipped cream to top the shortcake, or just buy the kind in a can like I did)
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 1 lb. strawberries
Getting the dough together couldn’t be easier…
Combine the baking mix, cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a big bowl or stand mixer and mix until the dough is thoroughly combined and smooth.
You can roll out the dough and use a biscuit cutter to get a more clean look. I like my shortcakes rustic so I just formed even-sized flattened discs with my hands (about 1/2 inch width). Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Brush each shortcake with a little cream and sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake on 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are brown and the center is cooked.
While the shortcakes are baking, rinse and slice the strawberries. The shape and size is up to you!
These biscuits won’t be too brown on the top so don’t let that be the indicator of doneness here. A golden brown bottom is the best way to tell when these shortcakes are done.
Cool the shortcakes for 5 or so minutes. Slice the shortcakes and top with the strawberries and whipped cream in whatever combination you like (I like a layer of whipped cream, strawberries, and then more whipped cream).
Put on the top and add more whipped cream and thinly sliced strawberries for garnish. There you have it: a perfect, simple, 6-ingredient summer strawberry shortcake! | <urn:uuid:a39b55b5-5dab-434a-afd6-e97794f6bfca> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://domestocrat.net/2016/08/08/recipe-six-ingredient-strawberry-shortcake/ | 2020-09-29T15:55:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.900578 | 529 |
This weekend, we will celebrate Mother’s Day. Throughout the country, little boys and girls will be showing their love for their moms with hugs, breakfasts in bed or perhaps handfuls of freshly picked dandelions! Regardless of their age, little kids and adults will at least momentarily take time to remember and honor their mother.
My Mom died when I was just twelve years old. She was only 45 when her heart gave out and she was taken from us. My memories of her have waned through the years. Today, I remember just pieces of my time with her. I look at pictures of my aunts who were with us for a much longer period of time, and they remained just as beautiful and memorable as when I was a child. But my mom, known to the family as Millie, will forever be the young and beautiful person she was when she was taken from us.
Often, pictures speak louder than words, so I invite you to enjoy the video I made in celebration of Millie and Moms everywhere. | <urn:uuid:439be553-c3cc-4097-86f4-33c5734b9e77> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://duquesnehunky.com/2011/05/07/to-mom/ | 2020-09-29T17:45:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.992114 | 213 |

Yams are tubers that are closely related to lilies and grasses. These plants are native to Asia and Africa. When shopping for yams you might notice that they are right next to sweet potatoes in the produce aisles. Yams and sweet potatoes are quite similar in looks and taste. Both come in a variety of colors. However, the flesh of yams is a little starchier and drier compared to sweet potatoes. That makes yams ideal for grilling on a George Foreman Grill, as they will hold up to the high heat of a contact grill.
Because yams and sweet potatoes are similar, some markets will accidentally label them incorrectly. What is recommended when shopping for yams is to look for those labeled as Japanese yams. These will be firm with flesh that is white, purple, or reddish. A good market will often have a display of the tubers that are cut in half so you can see the color of the interior.
In this post I explore 2 recipes for yams. The first is a simple “French fry” recipe. The second is for a vegan version of fritters that are similar to Indian pakoras or latkes. The fritters include zucchini for added moisture to help bind them so that you don’t have to add an egg. If you are not vegan, you can certainly add an egg for binding. This recipe has a little bit of a kick.
Grilled Yam Fries
- 2 whole yams washed well
- 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or peanut oil
- 2 tsps dried herbs, such as herbs du Provence or a Cajun seasoning mix
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- Additional salt and pepper for seasoning after grilling
Total time:25 min – Prep time:10 min – Cook time:15 min – Serves:4 people
1. Cut the yams into fries that are approximately 3 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick rectangles. These don’t have to be perfect. Wedges are okay too. I leave the skin on for the beneficial vitamins and fiber.
2. Place the yam sections into a bowl. Add the EVOO, herbs, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, toss the yams to make sure they are all coated with the oil and seasonings. Set this aside while you heat your grill and oven.
3. Preheat your oven 225°F or to the warm setting. Preheat your GF contact grill to high. Have a sheet pan ready for the fries, as you will grill in batches.
4. Place the seasoned fries on the grill without crowding too much. Close the top and cook for 7 to 8 minutes across the ridges to get grill marks. Flip the fries and grill for approximately 7 minutes longer. I flip and move my fries around for more even cooking. Check your fries for desired doneness. I just bite into one – a snack for the cook.
5. Remove fries to a sheet pan and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the next batch. Salt the warm fries just before serving. Serve with catsup (ketchup) or your favorite vegan aioli.
Yam Fritters with Tahini Dipping Sauce
This is an appetizer size portion. To make this more of a party snack or entrée, double or triple the recipe for both the fritters and the sauce. The cooked fritters will keep well in the refrigerator for a couple of days, as will the dipping sauce. You can easily reheat the fritters in a toaster oven or even on the GF grill.
- 1 cup shredded yam (use a box grater)
- 1/2 cup shredded zucchini
- 4 scallions minced
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of cayenne powder
- 4 tsps extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour (you can substitute another flour)
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- Extra virgin olive oil for grilling
- Sea salt for final seasoning
- 1/4 cup tahini paste (sesame paste)
- 1/4 cup cool water
- Juice of 1/4 of a lemon
- 1/4 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Total time: 25 min – Prep time: 15 min – Cook time: 10 min – Serves: 2 people
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the grated yams, zucchini, and scallions. Add the curry powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, and EVOO. Mix all of this together and set aside for a few minutes.
2. In a smaller bowl, combine the flour and arrowroot. Add the dry ingredients to the vegetables 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well each time. Test the mixture to see if it holds together. You can use less dry ingredients if patties form easily. If still too wet, add a little extra flour until you can form small patties. Yes, this involves getting your hands messy.
3. Preheat your GF grill to high. While it is heating up, place a piece of parchment paper, wax paper, or foil on a cutting board. Brush some EVOO on the paper or foil. Wet your hands just slightly. Take a small amount of the fritter mixture, just shy of a golf ball size, and roll into a ball. Then, flatten the ball and place it on the oiled paper or foil. Repeat this step until you have 8 fritters. Brush or drizzle EVOO on top of each patty.
4. Make the sauce while the fritters are cooking (see step 5). Place the fritters on the hot grill and close the top. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes until there are good grill marks. Flip the fritters over and pour any oil that has accumulated in the tray over the top of the fritters. Close the grill and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes. Test a fritter for desired doneness. These will be moist inside with a slightly crunchy exterior.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, water, lemon juice, salt and pepper, cumin, and garlic powder.
6. Serve with the tahini dipping sauce on the side of each plate or place in a ramekin. A little of this goes a long way. | <urn:uuid:5d03b4df-cd8b-4e1c-a29a-7b7ad118957b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://foremangrillrecipes.com/vegetables-recipes/yam-fries-fritters/ | 2020-09-29T16:31:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.902324 | 1,421 |
I bought GalCiv III a while back and thought it was a good game. I also purchased Mercenaries on sale (glad I got it cheap...not a great dlc IMO...needs a lot more mercenaries). I recently bit the bullet and bought Crusade at full price. What a great addition! Fantastic expansion. I'm still finding new things to do.
I am happy to support Stardock.

Stick with me here valued audience. I know awards speeches are not a popular genre. First off, everyone watching has just lost except for the speaker—not just the tuxedos in the hall, but anyone watching at home who aren’t important enough to be invited to the event. So maybe it’s safest to thank others effusively until your time is up and the music plays you off. A choice to make other points can be ineffective.
Yet, this isn’t the first time I’ve used an awards speech as the text for a piece, though the other two times they were speeches by actors, David Harbour and Viola Davis. Both of those speeches made claims about the value of dramatic art: Harbour making the claim that we may use make-believe heroes to inspire us to do necessary things, and Davis testifying that art, because it includes the illuminated communication of intense human experience, is the only complete way to explore humanity.
The Nobel Prize award requests an acceptance “lecture,” which sounds more high-falutin and boring than an acceptance speech. The literature winners often take the bait and tell us something about the value of their art—but it just so happens that I’m listening for that right now, because I’m not sure about the value of the arts of poetry or music, the things this project is made of, in the midst of this year’s multiple crises: a pandemic, an economic downturn that I fear we haven’t sounded the bottom of, a king of misrule, and a tragic occasion to consider remedies to racial oppression. When I talked about these things this week with friends, they reminded me, “And we haven’t even talked about global warming lately.”
The first section of today’s piece is taken from William Faulkner’s 1949 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Even a couple of decades later his statement was much loved in liberal arts departments as I was getting in touch with them in “The Sixties,” because we still hadn’t gotten over the fear we talk even less about: global atomic warfare destruction. Faulkner was a wordsmith to reckon with, even if he couldn’t figure out the plot of Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep.* When I looked back at his speech this month, the line I open up with today grabbed me in 2020 as much or more than it would have back in the mid-20th century:
Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it.”
Don’t misread the end of that sentence. He is saying we can bear that fear (his contemporary fears, and ours) and go on writing. One may raise their hand before the Nobel-Dynamite-Prize winner Faulkner and ask: “Well, yes I suppose we could. But shouldn’t we be doing something else instead? A lot of people’s survival is at stake.”
The next section I quote from Faulkner’s speech tries to answer that. It’s a fine piece of writing too. If one abstracts the thought from the rhetoric, he’s saying that we have jobs in relationship to those that will be doing something else instead. This is akin to Viola Davis’ argument about art: no position paper, resolution, or negotiating point can fully connect one heart with another, and no struggle can see its way without full illumination of the human experience.
Is Faulkner right about that? I don’t know. It may not be right for you, but it’s a plausible idea for an old man like myself, one who lacks the social cohesion to build a barricade and the bravery to mount and advance over it.
An example of writers not being much good at other jobs, Faulkner was bad when given a job as a postmaster. His resignation letter read: “As long as I live under the capitalistic system, I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp.” The Postal Service had its revenge in 1987. Faulkner’s price had risen by 20 cents.
The concluding statement in today’s piece is from another American Nobel Literature prize winner’s “lecture,” Bob Dylan’s. The inspiration for this came from a gift Dave Moore gave me this month, a small, handsome book containing Dylan’s lecture. When Dylan won the Literature prize there was a great deal of consternation that what he did wasn’t literature, possibly also not very good, but for sure not literature. Some commentators seemed to feel that poetry might not even qualify, wondering what novels he had written.** But never mind, song lyrics can’t be poetry can they?
In the concluding part of his speech Dylan cleverly concedes that point, and then collapses his wings around those objecting that performed oral poetry is not literature. That’s books, stuff written and read on paper. Suddenly they are surrounded with no retreat. Shakespeare*** wrote for voices and audiences in common. We only know his plays in page form from bootleg tapers. Songs, music, are like that too. They are alive, they live on the currents of breath. Literature is an artifact—a voice is the art, a song is the immediate fact of an experience. I, you, anyone, can doubt art in its absence, in silence—while fear likes that space just fine. But while a song is sounding in your breath and ear, doubt is beside the point. “Songs are alive in the land of the living” Dylan proclaims.
My performance mashing up these quotes from the two Nobel Prize speeches accompanied by my own music can be heard with the player below. If you’d like to read the entirety of these two speeches, Faulkner’s text is here, and Dylan’s is here (with a link to his own audio reading).
*A Hollywood anecdote had Faulkner, who was working as screenwriter for hire in the 1940s, getting stumped about the famously convoluted plot of Chandler’s detective novel he was adapting for a classic 1946 movie. A point about an early murder that deepens the plot was unclear. “Yes, but who killed General Sternwood’s chauffeur?” he queried. Chandler replied: “Dammit, I don’t know either.”
**I found it interesting that novelist Faulkner more than once refers to poets as he speaks about the writer’s task in his speech.
***And Dylan closes with Homer, the blind one in the silence of sight, who didn’t ask the muses for paper but the music to tell the story. | <urn:uuid:d56b45cf-7453-499b-a647-15d096307499> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://frankhudson.org/2020/07/12/the-poets-voice/ | 2020-09-29T17:05:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.964164 | 1,471 |

Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
– Collect for The Holy Name of Our Lord; Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2003
This feast day is interesting due to its significance. The Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus is a day that has multiple instances of significance. The first is that it is the day in which the child that Mary delivered and Joseph protected and cared for is now officially given the name of Jesus. The second is that the child would undergo circumcision as well. Both of these acts would occur eight days after the child was born, per Jewish ritual outlines in the Book of Leviticus.
Originally this day was celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church and removed it in 1969. Pope John Paul II restored the feast in 2001. In the Anglican Church, the feast was originally called The Feast of the Circumcision of Jesus. However, in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, it was renamed to the current title.
This feast day is a remembrance of another step in the life of Jesus. It reminds us that Jesus is a Jewish child with Jewish parents and grows up to be a Jewish man. He is the Messiah, the Saviour. We, at times, over look the childhood of Jesus because of the lack of source material. However, considering the lack of information, we should cherish the information that we have. | <urn:uuid:8ee22895-ecf7-4ba5-a4c1-0ff8f0ad5f8c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://frjmhairston.com/2014/01/01/holy-name/ | 2020-09-29T16:01:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.965687 | 334 |

When the Shriners founded the Shrine Hospitals for Children and the first hospital was built in 1922, the Ladies committed to supporting the Shrine’s official philanthropy. Today the Courts continue to support the hospital fund, hospital sewing, research projects and other areas of interest. Each Court not only raises funds for the hospitals, but they donate clothing, stuffed animals, purchase equipment, staff the information desk in the various hospitals and serve as office personnel on a voluntary basis. LOSNA contributes well over a half million dollars annually to the Shrine Hospitals.
The Ladies do not stop at donating funds or the items listed, they also make the rounds of the hospitals with book carts, furnish libraries for the children in the hospitals, hold pizza parties, ice creams socials, sew quilts and gowns, donate funds for playground equipment, donate funds to send a burned child to the Camp Ability Burn Camp, support research, donate examining tables, rocking chairs, pool tables, sofas for the teenagers, prosthetic devices, wheel chairs, baby carriages, car seats, mini cars for the children, numerous wagons, high chairs, computer equipment and software, musical items, and the list goes on. They do this by hosting many special events throughout the year such as craft bazaars, bake sales, dances, aluminum tab collection projects, golf outings, cook-outs, dinners, etc.
Our Ladies support various special projects with emphasis given to the LOS Special Project for the year, as chosen by the reigning Grand High Priestess. This special project is designed to assist an area of specific need within the Shriners Hospitals such as specialized medical equipment or funding for advancement of research of various childhood conditions.
There are several options to make donations to LOSNA and/or Shriners Hospitals for Children:
- Contact the Grand Council of Ladies’ Oriental Shrine of North America by email to [email protected]
- Through a local Court – find the location closest to you by going to the Local Court page.
- Sending a tax-free donation to the Grand Council LOSNA Foundation – more information at [email protected]. | <urn:uuid:2b1bc85e-2cea-4b41-b82f-fbe54c961cba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ladiesorientalshrine.org/our-philanthropy/ | 2020-09-29T16:07:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.916176 | 449 |
I have finally managed to get to a Waterstones this month, it was very overdue.
This Waterstones was the one in Birmingham, I love this store as I always go there just before Christmas when I visit the German Market. I usually go to buy Christmas presents but I must admit I usually end up spending a lot of money on Christmas books for myself. Very naughty I know.
So I bought two books from Waterstones and strangely enough they both have yellow covers. Although yellow is one of my favourite colours I promise I didn’t get the books just because they have yellow covers.

I have been getting the full series of these books so I was quite happy to see the next one was out in the shops.

This has been on my TBR list for while so now I own it I hope to read it soon.
I love this store because it has so many books in it and it is well spaced out.

SEC & Financial Fraud
Helping employees and investors expose financial fraud through the SEC Whistleblower Program
Conscientious individuals in the financial industry now have an avenue to shed light on fraud and obtain a whistleblower award for their efforts. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the financial reform bill passed in the wake of the financial crisis, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) created the SEC Whistleblower Program that covers a broad range of fraudulent conduct, including securities violations and many other forms of misconduct. Individuals who bring information to the SEC through the Whistleblower Program receive an award of up to 30% of any money recovered by the SEC.
Just recently, an SEC whistleblower was awarded $14 million for providing information that led to the recovery of fraudulently-obtained investor funds. The enforcement action resulting in the $14 million award was completed just six months after the SEC whistleblower’s tip.
At Loevy & Loevy, we have represented some of the first whistleblowers to take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower Program. We have some of the best trial lawyers in the nation, and our legal team can help you formulate your claim and guide you through the process of becoming eligible for a whistleblower award.
The SEC Whistleblower Program covers a broad range of fraud, including securities violations and many other forms of misconduct.

Sorption of As(V) from waters using chitosan and chitosan-immobilized sodium silicate prior to atomic spectrometric determination
MetadataShow full item record
A natural biosorbent containing amine functional groups, chitosan, and a novel sorbent, chitosan-immobilized sodium silicate, were prepared and utilized for the selective sorption of As(V) from waters prior to its determination by atomic spectrometric techniques, namely, hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Chitosan was synthesized from chitin and sodium silicate was used as the immobilization matrix due to its straightforward synthesis. Through sequential sorption studies, it was shown that chitosan-immobilized sodium silicate has exhibited a better chemical stability than the chitosan itself which demonstrates the advantage of immobilization method. Both chitosan and chitosan-immobilized sodium silicate were shown to selectively adsorb As(V), arsenate, from waters at pH 3.0 at which neither chitin nor sodium silicate displayed any sorption towards As(V). The sorption of arsenate by chitosan is supposed to have electrostatic nature since pH of 3.0 is both the point at which the amino groups in chitosan are protonated and also the predominant form of As(V) is H2AsO4−. A pre-oxidation step is required if both As(III) and As(V) are to be determined. Desorption from the sorbents was realized with 1.0% (w/v) l-cysteine prepared in a pH 3.0 solution adjusted with HCl. Among the possible interfering species tested, only Te(IV) and Sb(III) were shown to cause a decrease in the sorption capacity especially at high interferant concentrations. High concentrations of Sb(III) also resulted in gas phase interference during hydride generation. | <urn:uuid:1ff28a6f-efa7-4c39-ad14-12f7e77b9f29> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://openaccess.iyte.edu.tr/xmlui/handle/11147/4077 | 2020-09-29T17:21:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.922308 | 445 |

Mike Reiss is reporting that the Patriots have placed running back Laurence Maroney on injured reserve, ending his season.
Maroney had suffered with a shoulder injury apparently sustained in the season’s second game, a road win over the Jets. He was averaging an abysmal 3.3 yards a carry in limited action in 2008.
The lackluster production this season had caused many fans to throw up their hands on the former first round pick, who was thought to have won over all but his most strident detractors with his impressive play down the stretch in 2007.
He was tentative, even timid, in his 28 carries this season, rarely taking a decisive path up the field, even when one actually existed.
The Patriots selected Maroney with the 21st selection of the 2006 NFL Draft, a relatively light year for the kind of ‘franchise back’ that fans look for in a first round pick.
Others selected in 06 include Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams (27th), Indy’s Joseph Addai (30th), Tennessee’s LenDale White (45th), Maurice Jones-Drew (60th) of Jacksonville and New York’s Leon Washington (117th).
The draft’s top ranked runner, Reggie Bush of New Orleans, was picked 2nd by the Saints.
Arguably, all have since carved out more prominent roles with their teams than Maroney has with the Patriots. Now, he heads to the sideline again after just nine career starts, with underwhelming productivity and a chronic shoulder(s) problem. He had off-season shoulder surgery in 2007.
The Patriots’ pre-season decision to carry five running backs may have been influenced, at least in part, by concerns over that very issue. If so, good call, even if it wasn’t a good draft pick.
The team will move forward without Maroney when they face the Denver Broncos in about 90 minutes. | <urn:uuid:de10c1ba-fa79-42ef-9c82-fffc40cfb710> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://patriotsdaily.com/2008/10/20/maroney-finished/ | 2020-09-29T16:58:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973327 | 410 |

Tendency for Risk-Taking or Anxiety May Be Found in Hippocampal Cells
People are quite different when it comes to trying dangerous or exhilarating things. Until now, however, the neural mechanism underlying this risk-taking behavior has remained largely unknown.
In a new study, neuroscientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and the Brain Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil have found that certain cells in the hippocampus may play a key role in a person’s tendency toward either risk-taking or its opposing trait, anxiety. These cells may help determine whether you are more likely to get excited about skydiving or cringe in fear at the very thought of it.
These hippocampal cells, known as OLM cells, produce a brain rhythm that is found to be present when animals feel safe in a threatening environment (for example, when they are safely hiding from a predator but still aware of the predator’s proximity).
Previously, the same group of scientists discovered that OLM cells were the “gatekeepers” of memories in the hippocampus and that these cells were very sensitive to nicotine.
“This finding may explain why people binge-smoke when they are anxious,” said Dr. Richardson Leao, researcher at the Federal University.
The new findings reveal that anxiety and risk-taking behavior can be controlled by the manipulation of these OLM cells. In addition, OLM cells can be controlled by pharmacological agents.
Discovering a pathway that quickly and robustly modulates risk-taking behavior is very important for the treatment of pathological anxiety since reduced risk-taking behavior is a trait in people with high anxiety levels.
Presently, many patients with severe anxiety are given antidepressants, but these drugs act on the entire brain — not just in the areas where they are needed — and can result in side effects. Thus, if a drug were to act in a single brain region or even in a very specific group of cells, it would be a major breakthrough in treating anxiety and associated disorders like depression.
The discovery of these neurons and their role in anxiety and risk-taking may blaze a trail for the development of highly efficient anxiolytics and antidepressants without common side effects, such as apathy.
“It is fascinating how different regions of the same brain structure control distinct behaviours and how they interact with each other,” said Dr. Sanja Mikulovic at Uppsala University.
“Identifying specific circuits that underlie either cognitive or emotional processes is crucial for the general understanding of brain function and for more specific drug development to treat disorders.”
The new findings are published in the journal Nature Communications.

Over the years the sheer number of tools that are available has become staggering; at least it was for me. I had to consciously make a choice about what I really wanted to work with and in what areas. These were my choices:
- Current Version
- Data Visualization
Much to my surprise, each one of these areas had a much bigger footprint than I thought it did.
The list has evolved over time to something like this:
- Vanilla CSS (features are added all the time)
- SCSS (Superset of CSS with programming-like constructs)
- Current Version at the time (not including HTML5 APIs)
- ES Next (not including HTML5 APIs)
- ES7 + whatever is next
- Data Visualization
- D3 V3
- D3 V4
- Script Runners
- Module Bundlers
Where there is more than one option on the list they are listed from the ones I learned first and moved to different tools either because they performed a task better or because a framework or library I wanted to work with used those libraries or build tools (looking at you Polymer).
The thing is: none of the items on either list need a full framework to work with them; rather, we need to ask ourselves what do we need for the project and how not to go overboard. No more JS frameworks presents a view of why we should carefully evaluate the needs of the projects.
For a long time there was a whole lot of inconsistency between browsers and we, as an industry, had to write frameworks to paper over them. The problem is that there was disagreement even on the fundamental issues among browsers, like how events propagate, or what tags to support, so every framework not only papered over the holes, but designed their own model of how the browser should work. Actually their own models, plural, because you got to invent a model for how events propagate, a model for how to interact with the DOM, etc. A lot of inventing went on. So frameworks were written, each one a snowflake, a thousand flowers bloomed and gave us the likes of jQuery and Dojo and MochiKit and Ext JS and AngularJS and Backbone and Ember and React. For the past ten years we’ve been churning out a steady parade of JS frameworks.
We’ve spent the best part of 2 decades working over how to make the web work well, work consistently and work closer to the way we want them to.
In the beginning frameworks were necessary because browsers were incompatible and you had to make your code work the across browsers and, more recently, across form factors… but browsers have gotten better at implementing the same specs and in the same way. So the need to have normalization frameworks like jQuery, MooTools, Dojo, and others has lessened from this point of view.
You Might Not Need jQuery and (Now More Than Ever) You Might Not Need jQuery but, depending on your the browsers you must support, frameworks like jQuery might still be needed as John-David Dalton and Paul Irish wrote in jQuery’s browser bug workaround.
Another thing worth remembering is that when you use a framework you’re not only buying into the functionality you need; it’s an all or nothing proposition. Either you use the full set of capabilities the framework offers or you are wasting bandwidth sending over unnecessary bytes if you don’t slim your framework down to what you’re actually using.
One last thing about the complexity curve. There may come a time when no one on your team will understand all of the code in your application and when the documentation will not be enough to do proper maintenance. What happens when you decide to refactor the code or more to a different framework that has become the latest and greatest?
In When Does a Project Need React? Chris Coyier presents a list of items to consider when implemeting an application and whether to use React and its ecosystem or other less complex alternatives. I think we need to ask the same type of question about any framework… is React overkill? Angular? Polymer?
I’m not against frameworks and libraries, they have their place. What worries me is that we’re reaching for frameworks when we don’t neccessarily have to and by not doing so we save ourselves from fatigue.

When compared with the acts the Youngeon had done through the years, he was about the clubs nowadays. Usually, he had been with one woman or another.

The male libido, or male sexuality, has no doubt been used brutally. It has also been used lovingly.
While I appreciate Stephen Marche’s framing of “the Unexamined Brutality of the Male Libido” for the way it highlights the disrespect and abuse we are now culturally ready to look at, reading the NY Times article also made me cringe. I fear the stand the author takes could push men into more fear, shame, and isolation—what I see as the root causes of harassment and abuse.
Having coached nearly a thousand men over the past 15 years, I believe much of the current day “brutality” comes not from the libido being essentially brutal, but from the isolation, lack of education and absence of support for healthy emotional and sexual expression.
The world becomes more dangerous when we look at the libido as separate from affection and emotional intimacy, especially with men. The men I’ve worked with tend to see few if any avenues available for receiving the affection, care, and love they want and need.
We could argue men should find other ways to get these needs met. But in a culture where even the act of two men holding hands is often ridiculed, how does this happen? Who will hold a man when he finds himself in an experience that evokes vulnerable memories? Who will lovingly stroke his hair to comfort him as he expresses his fear, insecurity or the challenges he is up against?
Some spouses share this kind of affection but it’s not a given. It also becomes even more confusing when vulnerability or rejection happens in a man’s dynamic with his spouse.
Women have more culturally accepted “touchy-feely,” emotional interactions. My girlfriends will snuggle with me or play with my hair and comfort me. Many of the men I work with admit to feeling starved, not only for sex but for affectionate touch and caring.
These men are single AND married. Both situations can become a bind where a man doesn’t see the possibility of having deeper, caring connections.
Add to this recipe that many men were teased as boys—and some men are still teased—and chided or shunned for their sexual desires. Now we have a recipe for disaster.
Sexuality is such an innate part of one’s humanity that when rejected for it men go about getting their needs and desires met without connection (porn is the most common avenue) or abusively, or they shut down their sexuality, which eventually and inevitably ends up surfacing as an unconscious and likely abusive act.
When we stop separating a person’s libido from their emotional life, we see that boys being taught to suck it up and hide their feelings actually impacts how they treat women. When they are taught that their vulnerability is weak they hide and hold it back.
For sex to be intimate, and for a partner to feel connected with rather than objectified, a man has to be able to feel his emotions and vulnerability. Otherwise, women become objects to him.
Is the cycle becoming more apparent?
We are in the midst of cultural evolution. Women are being heard. I feel thrilled about this. Reese Witherspoon and other women are right. Time’s Up! But we can’t move forward without supporting men, too—both men who have done harm and men who would never abuse or harass women.
If we don’t teach men to connect with women in ways that are trustworthy and honest, especially about sex . . . if we don’t create a culture where it is safe for men to express their vulnerability without being rejected or seen as weak…then we will be left in this painful state where sex is used as a power-play.
This is actually powerlessness masquerading as power. A dynamic that causes pain for all—men, women, people of all genders—now and in the generations to come. | <urn:uuid:f61a8c29-96d4-4269-bf07-966a9516233f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://shanajamescoaching.com/brutal-male-libido-symptom-isolation-absence-support-healthy-emotional-sexual-expression/ | 2020-09-29T16:22:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966947 | 818 |
The estate of Terence Crutcher has filed a new wrongful death lawsuit in Tulsa County District Court against the city of Tulsa related to his 2016 shooting death by then-Tulsa Police Officer Betty Shelby.
Family attorneys said in a news conference Wednesday that Crutcher’s parents, according to state law, are not legally entitled to make a damage claim in the previously filed federal case against Shelby, the city of Tulsa and Chief Chuck Jordan that alleges civil rights violations occurred at the time of Crutcher’s death in September 2016.
However, Oklahoma’s civil procedure statute on wrongful death claims indicates a family can file suit to recover damages for grief and loss of companionship for the children and parents of a decedent.
Crutcher’s estate, of which Tulsa attorney Mike Manning now serves as administrator, filed an initial petition in March asking for at least $10,000 in damages and submitted an amended petition on Wednesday claiming Crutcher, 40, died as a result of Shelby’s on-duty negligence.
The amended filing contends Shelby was “completely unqualified to be a patrol officer on the streets of Tulsa with police powers” when she shot Crutcher outside his parked SUV near the intersection of 36th Street North and Lewis Avenue.
“We had hoped that we would get this thing settled long before now,” Joey Crutcher, Terence Crutcher’s father, said during the news conference at attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons’ downtown Tulsa law office.
“I sat in my living room with, at that time, (Mayor-elect G.T.) Bynum, and he stated that he would definitely make sure that all that needed to be done to make sure that we got justice for our son pertaining to everything, losses and all that, would take place.
“We are so frustrated that it has taken 18 months and we still haven’t gotten any resolution whatsoever.”
The new petition states that the estate filed a notice of tort claim with the city in June but did not receive a response by the statutory period of 90 days. A city of Tulsa Legal Department employee confirmed Wednesday afternoon that there was no written response to the tort claim notice.
“I want the family to know that the Crutcher family, Mrs. Crutcher, is so tired,” Leanna Crutcher said during the news conference. She added, when referencing the shooting: “I will never get over that, so don’t tell me to get over it.”
“Terence was murdered. Shot down like a dog because of someone’s misinterpreting. By a trained person that was there to protect. She was (acquitted), but that still doesn’t make it right,” she said.
Bynum’s office, when asked for comment, said in a statement that the Crutchers are good people who have endured a terrible tragedy and that since Terence’s death, the city has taken steps to combat racial inequality.
“Our state has a judicial system in place to render justice, and I respect the need for that process to take its course,” Bynum said.
“We continue to make progress on the findings of the Tulsa Commission on Community Policing, which anyone is free to track on the city website. Today, we released one of the most important reports in the history of our city regarding inequalities that exist in Tulsa.
“This summer, we will release a comprehensive strategy to address issues of racial disparity that will be the work product of hundreds of Tulsans and resources from around the world.” | <urn:uuid:4d01ff92-b926-4dfe-a2ba-98bcc1f8dfcb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://solomonsimmons.com/crutcher-family-files-second-wrongful-death-lawsuit-against-city-of-tulsa/ | 2020-09-29T17:45:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.971721 | 774 |

Can you play a wind instrument while smiling? Well, this talented quintet certainly can and their joy is infectious. From their spirited start in Ligeti’s ‘Six Bagatelles’ to their exuberant finale, Paul Patterson’s ‘Westerly Winds’, the mix of tight ensemble and solo virtuosity was musical delight. With Bach, Mozart and Hindemith also in this exciting and well-balanced programme, there was something for everybody. The players’ enthusiastic introductions added greatly to the whole performance yet were easy for the youngsters in the audience to follow. They’ll be attracting many more large crowds if they carry on making beautiful music such fun.

Junooniyat is an upcoming romantic Bollywood film written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. Produced by Bhushan Kumar under his T-Series banner, it features Pulkit Samrat and Yami Gautam in the lead roles.Wikipedia
Audience Reviews for Junooniyat
Junooniyat, a romantic flick by Vivek Agnihotri, explores a few of the favourite theme of films i.e. love, romance, passion, relationship. Although, the plot of Junooniyat has no novelty, music, cinematography, and Pulkit-Yami pairing (their chemistry is definitely better in this film in comparison to ‘Sanam Re’) gives a fresh look and feel to the film. Junooniyat means passion, madness, insanity, obsession etc. I felt that the film could not do the justice towards its title, since the story / screenplay did not incorporate the protagonists’ junooniyat in the film. The love happened easily, interim separation also happened easily and then the ‘getting-back together’ also happened without much of a hassle. So, somehow, there was no scope for the junooniyat to be displayed. If I need to mention, Junooniyat was there in films like Veer-Zara, Silsila, Qayamat se Qayamat Tak or even the most recently released Marathi film Sairaat. I did find junooniyat missing from this film. But if I keep this point aside, the film is indeed watchable and it also keeps the audience very much engaged.
Jahan Bakshi (Pulkit Samrat), an Indian Army Captain, believes that everything in life is a choice and there is nothing called destiny. He does write Shayaris and expresses with much confidence that there is no such riddle which he cannot solve. Jahan rescues Suhani Kapoor (Yami Gautam) swimming in a restricted area in Sonmarg (this scene of Jahan rescuing Suhani reminded me of Veer-Zara, where Pretty Zinta was lifted by Shah Rukh Khan). Suhani who is originally from Amritsar has come along with her friends for a camp. Jahan brings Suhani to his army camp for interrogation in regard to her intruding the restricted area. Suhani manages to get away due to her gregariousness. She accuses Jahan of manhandling her during the rescue operations. She demands an apology letter from Jahan. There follows a series of banters between Suhani and Jahan and also songs. Their paths cross a few times, and ultimately the inevitable happens i.e. the love between Suhani and Jahan. Suhani is brought up in a very protective family environment, where she is being loved a lot by her parents, grandparents and sister-in-law. In her family, two uncles and brother are martyrs. Suhani and Jahan’s love catches the attention of her family. Her father is dead against their marriage.
What is the reason of Suhani’s father resisting her marriage to Jahan ? What happens when Suhani is restricted from meeting Jahan? What are the various sequence of events ? What happens to the love of Suhani and Jahan? Are they able to overcome family’s resistance ? What happens, when life itself becomes a riddle for Jahan? What happens, when destiny plays its game in Jahan and Suhani’s lives ? The second half sees the entry of Yash (Gulshan Devaiah), what role does he play? Mishti (Hrishitaa Bhatt plays the role of Suhani’s sister-in-law; is she in support of Suhani-Jahan’s love? How the climax of the film is set up?
The film is more of a musical melody. In the first half, there are songs every 10 minutes. Most of the songs are indeed very nice.
As far as the performances are concerned, Pulkit and Yami does inject freshness into this usual plot. Gulshan has a very brief role, but he does mark his presence. Taran Bajaj as Tullu, neighbour of Suhani, who openly claims to her about his love, does make one smile. Rest of the cast are also good.
Indeed, there are some flaws with the screenplay. Vivek could have taken some amount of risk in telling the story without following a safe story-telling path and the cliché.
Junooniyat, although with a clichéd plot and not devoid of flaws in the screenplay, has a fresh feel due to good pairing of Yami-Pulkit, the breath-taking visuals of the snow-capped Kashmir mountains, and enticing music. Watch the film. | <urn:uuid:416d0851-8a33-4d7d-9856-e5134b891ed3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thereviewmonk.com/movie/junooniyat/ | 2020-09-29T17:50:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96778 | 1,005 |
I attended my first PATH (People Acting Together Howard) meeting last night along with 45 of you. As I listened to presenters that included mostly clergy and public-school officials whip the audience into a social justice frenzy, I became caught up in the passion that Rev. Paige and many others have for making life better for everyday people in Howard County. PATH is structured based on the IAF (Industrial Areas Foundation) model of community organizing.
The meeting started with representatives of dozens of organizations – mostly religious congregations – introducing themselves at a microphone. In rollcall fashion at the front of the room, each reported how many members of her/his organization were present and how much money the organization had pledged toward PATH. I was impressed. Every major faith was represented and they were joined by the teachers’ union and a couple of other community organizations.
Suddenly it struck me. PATH is a union. I was a unionized employee for nearly 30 years, so I understand the influence that individuals have with leaders when they bind themselves together, raise money and speak with one voice. In union, there is strength. In PATH’s case, public officials must pay attention to its agenda. PATH is too formidable to be ignored.
Money is Power
UUCC helps to fund PATH via our operating budget. I think it’s important to know what we are getting for our money. Each year, through a democratic process, PATH selects several local social justice causes for focus and campaigns are launched. Typically, they include things like interfaith solidarity, affordable housing and improved schools.
At last night’s meeting, our own Bill Harris did a phenomenal job of kicking off one of this year’s causes, GOTV (Get Out The Vote). He identified the five Howard County voting precincts that experienced the greatest decrease in voter participation over the past several years. Each precinct happens to have a PATH member congregation within it. Owen Brown is one of the five – UUCC’s home turf. Bill asked people to commit to at least 10 hours of GOTV work over the next 18 months to help increase voter participation in the precincts. Collectively, the folks present last night pledged more than 900 volunteer hours to this cause. Impressive!
If an organization can demonstrate that it can turn out voters for elections, its political stature increases. Bill gets it. The man has a coal shovel in each hand. He is working hard to feed the engine that will drive justice-based decisions.
Members can participate in PATH in multiple ways.
- Contribute money. PATH is a 501(c)(3), non-partisan organization. Your contributions are tax-deductible.
- Attend the PATH Choir Showcase, a fund raiser, on Oct. 7, at 7 pm, at OBIC.
- Attend PATH meetings and volunteer for causes that move you. The next meeting will take place on Oct. 24, at 7 pm, at First Baptist Church of Guilford, 7504 Oakland Mills Road.
If you are moved to participate in a deeper way, consider becoming part of the UUCC PATH Core Team. We are in the process of building the core team. Here’s some language Rev. Paige used last spring to describe what we envision a core team doing:
- strengthen bonds among the members of the core team itself – so that we have the strength of relational power at the heart of leadership
- represent a diversity of UUCC’s ministries and programs – i.e., not only that which is associated with the Social Action Council
- lead the ongoing work of building a stronger relational community at UUCC by engaging deliberately in one-to-one conversations with fellow congregants, and encouraging others to do the same
- listen and “research” within UUCC so that we invest time and energy in issues and action that truly matter to our community
- lead action in response to the listening
- be the primary team of persons for organizing UUCC engagement in PATH action
About a dozen individuals who have been involved in PATH – many of whom have been to IAF three-day training – were invited to be part of this core team. Members who have been participating: Jenny Bonilla, Carla Gates, Bill Harris, John Harris, Jen Hayashi, Tina Horn, Rae Millman, Lisa Schlossnagle, Laura Solomon, Maureen Harris and Paige Getty.
Members interested in joining the Core Team should email [email protected].
I have trouble connecting the dots sometimes. Many social justice initiatives are too theoretical, nebulous and indirect to get me excited enough to join them. If you’re like me, and you want to take specific action toward an end, PATH might be for you. | <urn:uuid:4443f27c-9a3f-470f-9767-5bd3951cbb1c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://uucolumbia.net/uucc-presidents-column/ | 2020-09-29T16:24:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.963786 | 983 |
This came up on Twitter Sunday, and having happened upon it in the past, I thought I’d share the solution that Ed Haletky (Blue Gears) and I came to. Basically it boils down to the service start order for the vCenter and related services. Specifically the order should be:
- SQL (MS SQL, Oracle, etc)
- ADAM (only when using linked mode)
- vCenter Server
- vCenter Server Update Manager
In our case the problem service was vCenter Server Update Manager. To correct it, follow this Microsoft KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888 to set the service dependency. Hope this was helpful. | <urn:uuid:6905faa4-9798-4f1a-be5c-27b8eaf38b08> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://vbrownbag.com/2010/03/vcenter-will-not-start-vcenter-services-startup-order/ | 2020-09-29T17:53:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.902555 | 144 |

The MIT Press has announced the launch of Rapid Reviews: COVID-19 (RR:C19), an open access, rapid-review overlay journal that will accelerate peer review of COVID-19-related research and deliver real-time, verified scientific information that policymakers and health leaders can use.
Scientists and researchers are working overtime to understand the SARS-CoV-2 virus and are producing an unprecedented amount of preprint scholarship that is publicly available online but has not been vetted yet by peer review for accuracy. Traditional peer review can take four or more weeks to complete, but RR:C19’s editorial team, led by editor-in-chief, Stefano M. Bertozzi, Professor of Health Policy and Management and Dean Emeritus of the School of Public Health at University of California Berkeley, will produce expert reviews in a matter of days.
Using artificial intelligence tools, a global team will identify promising scholarship in preprint repositories, commission expert peer reviews, and publish the results on an open access platform in a completely transparent process. The journal will strive for disciplinary and geographic breadth, sourcing manuscripts from all regions and across a wide variety of fields, including medicine; public health; the physical, biological, and chemical sciences; the social sciences; and the humanities. RR:C19 will also provide a new publishing option for revised papers that are positively reviewed.
Made possible by a $350,000 grant from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation and hosted on PubPub, an open-source publishing platform from the Knowledge Futures Group for collaboratively editing and publishing journals, monographs, and other open access scholarly content, RR:C19 will limit the spread of misinformation about COVID-19.
The editorial board for RR:C19 currently includes Paulin Basinga, Gates Foundation; Nancy Birdsall, Center for Global Development; Jeanine Condo, National University of Rwanda; Robert Gallo, University of Maryland; Dean Jamison, University of Washington; Jerome Kim, International Vaccine Institute; Santiago Levy, The Brookings Institution; Fenyong Liu, UC Berkeley; Felix Masiye, University of Zambia, University of Washington; Jonna Mazet, UC Davis; Shankar Sastry, UC Berkeley; and Mauro Schechter, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, University of Pittsburgh, Johns Hopkins University. RR:C19 will publish its first reviews in July 2020 and is actively recruiting potential reviewers and contributors.

HOW IT LOOKS/FEELS:
The misty greige (gray + beige) spray is watery and has an herbal lavender scent
WHY WE LIKE IT:
It’s simultaneously soothing and refreshing, which is exactly what we need first thing in the morning and just before bedtime. After washing your face, use it to balance and tone combination or oily skin. The ultra-fine clay silt sinks to the bottom, so be sure to give it a good shake before saturating a cotton pad and sweeping it on. No need to rinse off—just let it sink in.

Regular Questions and AnswersNot all the answer to every question will be on our page but we definately make an effort to take care of the most frequently asked ones!!
How often do you need to get your carpets cleaned?
On average we recommend professional carpet cleaning at least once a year regardless of location or whether or not you have animals and children. Regular maintenance with professional steam cleaning and vacuuming will always extend the lifespan of you carpet significantly.
Why should I not clean my own carpets?
Your Carpets are made of fragile materials and unless you have the knowledge and equipment to evaluate their tolerance level you could do more harm than good if trying to do your own carpet cleaning.
What can I buy out of a shop to clean my carpets?
Don’t risk it! Not many off the shelf products ever have the ability to do what they say they are going to. No positive impact causes frustration with regards to carpet cleaning. Alot of these products are actually making an attempt to bury the stain deeper in the pile and hide it so you believe it has been removed where it has not. This mean you are actually rubbing it in not getting it out.
So what can I do in between your visits if I do have small spills?
Click on our maintenance tips sheet in our sidebar and follow our friendly advice. This is definitely no substitution for getting a professional cleaner out but it will steer you away from dangerous products that can do more harm than good.
What areas do you service?
With carpet and upholstery and general steam cleaning we service all Perth Northern Suburbs. With bigger tile cleaning jobs and commercial work we are prepared to travel longer distances.
How often do I need to clean my upholstery?
You should get upholstery cleaning just as often as you get carpet cleaning if you want to live in a healthy environment. People continually leak body oils and shed skin cells which are penetrating into your upholstery all the time especially if it is very absorbent.
What protectant can I put on my upholstery?
We use Rhino Shield protective sealant on your upholstery and carpet fibres which does will allow the spillage the time or ability to penetrate and be absorbed by the materials nearly as easily.
Do Capital Steam Cleaners vacuum prior to carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning?
How do we know a good carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, tile cleaning and leather cleaning company from a bad one?
Common sense is a definite requirement. Always check google reviews to read what past customers say about a company as company with bad or no reviews is more likely to let you down. The company must sound technical and interested always eager to ask you questions, a one quote fits all is unexceptionable as every job is unique. Check the company technician is a fully qualified member of the carpet cleaning ass of WA. This means they have insurance, police clearance and most importantly are trained to the highest level. | <urn:uuid:763147f0-9cb6-4edf-872e-84b44ba48aea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.capitalcarpetcleaners.com.au/steam-cleaning-questions-and-answers/ | 2020-09-29T18:02:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961806 | 609 |
With the help of a Proposition 84 stormwater grant* CASQA developed this web portal to assist the stormwater community conduct assessments of stormwater program effectiveness. This portal provides a central repository for obtaining guidance, sharing data and information, and obtaining planning and assessment support.
* Note: Funding for this project has been provided in full or in part through an agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board. The contents of this document do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the State Water Resources Control Board, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.
A Strategic Approach to Planning for and Assessing the Effectiveness of Stormwater Programs (June 2015)
The Municipal Stormwater Program Effectiveness Assessment Guidance document is an evolving document. As municipalities complete annual program assessments, additional data will become available that will assist in verifying links between program-wide best management practices implementation, pollutant load reduction, and eventual receiving water quality improvements.
Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (PEAIP) Framework (April 2015)
The CASQA Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (PEAIP) Framework provides a recommended structure and approach for the PEAIPs that is consistent with the Phase II Permit and the CASQA guidance document, 'A Strategic Approach to Planning for and Assessing the Effectiveness of Stormwater Programs (February 2015).' The Framework is intended to provide statewide consistency for the traditional and non-traditional MS4 PEAIPs and a customizable, user-friendly format for agencies to use as they develop their individual documents. The Framework is also recommended for consideration by Phase I MS4 stormwater programs as they consider effectiveness assessments within the context of their programs.
CASQA conducted a comprehensive review of existing approaches and tools for use in evaluating source contributions (outcome level 4) from key source categories and target audiences. This work effort was coordinated amongst three CASQA subcommittees (Effectiveness Assessment, Best Management Practices, and Watershed and Impaired Waters) and produced the following:
Source Contribution Tools and Methodologies Online Database (March 2018)
As a part of the comprehensive review of existing approaches and tools for use in evaluating source contributions (outcome level 4), CASQA developed a searchable database identifying the tools that may be used to estimate or calculate the source contributions, based on the pollutants of concern / conditions of concern (POC / COC), the potential sources, and/or best management practices (BMPs) that may be implemented. This user-friendly, web-based interface allows the user to access the database through the CASQA Stormwater Effectiveness Assessment web page and obtain the desired information by entering in key input parameters. It is anticipated that the database will be updated as new information and tools are developed.
Summary of the CASQA Source Contribution Tools and Methodologies Survey (November 2017)
As a part of the comprehensive review of existing approaches and tools for use in evaluating source contributions (outcome level 4) from key source categories and target audiences, CASQA conducted a survey / literature review in Summer 2017. The survey was distributed to the CASQA membership and requested information related to the participants, sources, source controls for load reduction, pollutants of concern, source contribution determination or assessment tools, and challenges encountered when performing source assessments and estimating load reductions. A total of 85 surveys were received and evaluated. This document summarizes the results of the survey / literature review, which were used to guide the development of the Source Contribution Tools and Methodologies online database.
The Effectiveness Assessment Baseline Report provides a foundation for this web portal, and is a product of the State Water Resources Control Board's Proposition 84 stormwater grant; the report includes the following:
- Summary of existing California Phase I and Phase II stormwater permit requirements
- Summary of current assessment practices (effectiveness assessment approaches, metrics, and methods)
- Survey of assessment needs and opportunities
- Materials review and compilation (completed assessments, regulatory resources, and stormwater-related research and literature)

Back to Basics: July 2012
A mayday is initiated by a firefighters who are in trouble, lost, injured or trapped.
By Mark Van
A mayday is initiated by a firefighters who are in trouble, lost, injured or trapped. Trapped firefighters need help from the rapid intervention team (RIT) to become untangled and removed from the building.
|A RIT member practises cutting wires. It is best to practise this skill in the dark. Photo by Mark van der Feyst
Some firefighter fatalities have been attributed to entanglements. On April 11, 1994, a Memphis Fire Department firefighter was killed after becoming tangled in cable television wires in the ceiling of a hallway outside a ninth-floor apartment; he was just nine feet away from the hallway exit door. The plastic clips that were holding the wires had melted and the cable wires fell on top of the firefighter. On Aug. 29, 2007, two firefighters from Massachusetts were killed in a restaurant when a ceiling collapsed, dumping the contents onto them. One firefighter was tangled in wires and debris, making the rescue effort difficult. There also have been numerous close calls reported, with firefighters attesting to being trapped by wires or other debris from ceilings.
|Photo 1: RIT members should carry two types of wire cutters in two different pockets, for example, the radio pocket and the cargo pocket.
|Photo 2: Make sure that the wire cutters you use do not have a square stripping notch at the bottom of the blades; this will hinder cutting, and add to your frustration.
|Photo 3: A RIT member sweeps the trapped firefighter for signs of entanglement.
|Photo 4: Be careful to verify wires before cutting, ensuring that you don’t cut something necessary to the mayday firefighter’s survival, such as the low-pressure hose. Photos by Mark van der Feyst
When firefighters become tangled by wires, time is critical as trapped firefighters must either free themselves using survival techniques or have a RIT member help them. The one thing firefighters must not do is panic, as this often results in a fight or flight response, an effort to get free of the wires and failure to call a mayday right away. RIT members have been trained to deal with entanglements and to free the mayday firefighter, but rescuers will be effective only if they are deployed right away.
All RIT members needs to carry at least one pair of wire cutters. It is best to carry two pairs, one in the radio pocket and the other in the cargo pocket of the pant. Cutters should be located on opposite sides; this ensures access to one or the other should one side become inaccessible due to collapse or other circumstances. The cutters need to be large enough to be used while wearing structural firefighting gloves, as seen in photo 1. The two types of cutters shown shown are the right size for operations under fire conditions. Make sure that the cutters do not have a square stripping notch at the bottom of the cutting blades as seen in photo 2. This notch adds to the frustration of trying to cut the wires.
Before mayday firefighters can be extricated, part of the nine-step assessment process ensures that they are not entangled by wires, ceiling grid members, HVAC piping, dryer vent hose or any other ceiling content. As you can see in photo 3, one of the RIT firefighters is sweeping the body of the trapped firefighter from top to bottom to ensure there are no entanglements. This is an important step in the nine-step process and it requires careful attention; just running your hands up and down or trying to see any wires or obstructions is not good enough. Use your hands around the SCBA cylinder, the face piece, the helmet, the chest gauge, and the feet and arms to make sure that no wires are present; do this in the area around the mayday firefighter as well. Looking up and around or feeling around above the mayday firefighter ensures that there are no entanglements that can complicate the rescue operation.
Any entanglements found around the mayday firefighter must be removed by RIT members. Wires, which are among the most common obstructions for firefighters, can simply be cut with wire cutters. It’s important to pay careful attention to what you are cutting; cutting while wearing structural firefighting gloves is difficult. It is best to grab a few strands of the wires and place them into the wire cutter at the very bottom of the blades (see photo 4). This ensures that the cut goes through the wires rather than just nicking them and possibly cutting through only some of the wires. It’s also a good idea to putting tension on the wire while it is in the mouth of the cutter. Be careful to not place your fingers in the cutters. Practising this skill while blacked out sharpens the senses makes rescuer proficient at this task.
Photo 5 shows a mayday firefighter being rescued by RIT members and one of the rescuers becoming entangled. In this instance, the other RIT firefighter returned to free the first firefighter. In an attempt to free him quickly (his low-air alarm was going off), the RIT firefighter grabbed what he thought was the wire and cut it. Right away, the results of the action were heard, as air was leaking out from the low-pressure hose. This speeds up the clock against rescuers. Verify before you cut any wires that whatever you are cutting is not the SCBA hose of the mayday firefighter or that of another RIT member.
Practising this operational technique will pay off when the time comes to untangle a mayday firefighter from wires. Remember to verify before you cut.

Established in 1911, Mansfield Baptist Church has been serving their community for over 95 years. In the next upcoming months the ministry will be celebrating their 100th birthday.
Pastor Jeff R. Perkins, who came to the ministry in 1996, has been serving the Mansfield congregation for over 18 years. Originally located in downtown Mansfield, the church outgrew its quarters and moved its congregation to a larger campus in 2006. This enriching campus now located off of Woodlawn Road sits on 21 acres of beautiful land.
Along with its beautiful facilities, Mansfield Baptist also has a community of believers known for being a family-oriented congregation.
Pastor Perkins said there is always something going on at Mansfield Baptist because of this family atmosphere.
In closing out their summer’s festivities, Pastor Perkins says the church’s Vacation Bible School was a huge success.
Moving into to their fall season, there are a lot of events to look forward to. Coming up in September, Mansfield will be hosting a Sportsman’s Dinner. This dinner will be dedicated to any person involved in athletic activity. Proceeding the dinner, Mansfield Baptist will also start their “week of Renewal” with guest Speaker Danny Singleton. This week is designed to renew one’s walk in Christ by emphasizing the church’s mission statement of “Sharing Christ and Shaping Christ Followers.”
Other activities to look out for are the annual Fall Festival, the 5k Run and Operation Christmas. These are just a few of the major events listed on their winter calendar.
In addition to hosting wonderful events throughout the year, future endeavors for the ministry include expansion, but as Pastor Perkins assures: ministry is running smoothly and they’re not looking to build anytime soon. Offering two service times on Sunday morning—Early Worship service starting at 11 a.m. and Evening Worship service starting at 6 p.m. The goal of Mansfield Baptist is to share the love of Christ throughout the community. Mansfield Baptist also offers different activities throughout the week.

Mrs J Baker
Hello, my name is Joana Baker and I am a Community Governor.
I am also the chair of FOGSS, the school’s PTA and was invited to the governing body by Mrs Wood in July 2016. Being part of both the PTA and the Governing body gives me a unique inside into school life and how we can all work together to make our school even better.
My daughter is currently in year 4 and I am in school often to help out with the school’s day to day life: organising the library, supervising children on their school trips and helping the Torfaen Kerb Craft team to teach the children how to cross the road safely. | <urn:uuid:2d49c503-87c1-422e-80e7-aefa62109329> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.georgestreetprimary.co.uk/our-school/meet-the-governors/mrs-j-baker/ | 2020-09-29T16:25:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.9773 | 145 |
The FDA's mandated design control process is designed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of new medical devices that enter the marketplace, and medical device companies will have to demonstrate that they have correctly followed the process by producing a design history file and device master record that include and reference the documentation created in the design control process. Organized and timely documentation of the design control process is crucial for ensuring FDA compliance, as well as the safety and effectiveness of the medical device.
Design control is a mandated process, but not all medical devices are required to follow the design control process. The FDA mandates that only companies building Class II and Class III devices must establish design controls, but there are some exceptions! The FDA provides the following chart of Class I devices that require design controls:
868.6810 Catheter, Tracheobronchial Suction.
878.4460 Glove, Surgeon's.
880.6760 Restraint, Protective.
892.5650 System, Applicator, Radionuclide, Manual.
892.5740 Source, Radionuclide Teletherapy
For more help classifying your medical device, check out our Step-by-Step Guide to Medical Device Classification.
Detailed guidelines for establishing design controls can be found in 21 CFR Part 820.30.
Design controls generate piles of documentation that must be dated and approved by the assigned party, usually a quality manager. In addition, these documents need to be organized and available for reference, review, internal and external audit and inclusion in other documents.
Each manufacturer must maintain a design history file, which references or includes all of the documents created in the design control process and shows that the design was developed in compliance with this part of the FDA's regulations.
Manufacturers must also compile a device master record, which includes all of the information needed to build and test the device. This includes drawings and documentation from the design controls, as well as production and process controls and other items.
Check out our guide on the differences between these documents and what is included in each one. | <urn:uuid:46e95b3c-1e2b-4e12-9e29-4d8ce3ac7397> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.greenlight.guru/glossary/design-controls | 2020-09-29T17:33:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.939486 | 424 |
Robert Clarke explains his motivation for supporting Habitat over many years.
Robert Clarke first connected with Habitat as a volunteer on our Glencairn project, which built 16 homes in a Protestant area of West Belfast in the late 1990s. The community had suffered severely during The Troubles, and with the peace process still in its infancy, it was a powerful symbol of hope when Catholics crossed the peace line to help build the homes of their Protestant neighbours.
"It was great to build beside the homeowners and other groups of volunteers. We learned a lot from each other," Robert said.
Robert has also witnessed the impact of Habitat's work internationally, having travelled on Global Village teams. "The families were so gracious, despite their difficult housing conditions. There was a language barrier but we always found ways to communicate," he said.
Robert is a retired teacher of Technology & Design. He still puts his practical skills to good use, volunteering one day a week in the upcycling workshop in Habitat ReStore, Lisburn.
He has inspired others to engage i n Habitat's mission, including members of his church, Saintfield Road Presbyterian, who volunteer on our local community building projects.
"I've always been interested in the "Theology of the Hammer", the approach for helping those in desperate need by Millard Fuller, Habitat's founder. That is what is behind all that I do."
"Habitat enables me to serve God and to put my faith into action," Robert said. | <urn:uuid:bcbe69bf-b2eb-4e26-a680-cc06b11cdd32> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.habitatni.co.uk/blog/serving-god-roberts-habitat-story | 2020-09-29T16:01:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.981673 | 309 |
It’s a pretty common issue. Realtek devices are inexpensive an prolific but they’re flaky and not recommended by most. Coupled with pfsense, one can have a pretty solid lab if you can get them working reliably. I went down the path of building out a new lab with a gigabyte box as a pfsense one-arm-router. I paired it with a managed PoE switch running a few Ubiquiti APs so I could power and pull networks from some IoT devices I was researching.
Every time my nic was under load, my WAN interface would go down. Reloading the interface was a quick fix but it was one needing a more permanent fix.
This was the solution: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/135850/official-realtek-driver-binary-1-95-for-2-4-4-release/19
Unzip & Place “if_re.ko” file in the “/boot/kernel” folder
Ensure ownership and permissions on the if_re.ko file are:
- chown root:wheel if_re.ko
- chmod 0555 if_re.ko
Add this line to “/boot/loader.conf“:
Once you reboot, you can run kldstat to verify the driver is loaded. Most folks were having issues with “smart quotes” on their copy-pastes.
This solved all the stability issues I was experiencing in my lab.
I bought a silver ACEPC T11 for doing some lab work for $127 (link). It sports an Intel Cherry Trail Atom Z8350, quad-core CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB emmc, and a dual-band 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless card. I tried booting off the pfsense media and it kept hanging at
ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range. After poking around, I ran across this article: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/109447/zotac-ci323-installation-controller-failures/16
I rebooted and selected
3. [Esc]ape to loader prompt on the boot menu. At the
OK prompt, I entered:
It booted right up and pfsense installed without any issues.
Next, I’ll be ripping it open and installing external wireless adapters and an SSD for storing pcaps.
Ubuntu 18.10 and Greenbone Security Assistant 7.0.3
Over the weekend, I updated my wireless router to the latest revision of ASUSWRT-Merlin. I also decided to update my DietPi Pi-hole to their latest builds. Due to a full code rewrite of Dietpi, it meant a complete rebuild for that system. The release of ASUSWRT-Merlin also suggested resetting to factory defaults due to some major changes. Everything was about to be new again.
Once I got everything rebuilt and running, I noticed requests coming from my firewall to my dietpi every 10 seconds or so for dns.msftncsi.com. I immediately assumed this was some Microsoft telemetry noise on my network from MS NLA. However, the queries were coming directly from my firewall which seemed odd. Another search led me to a post on the Pi-hole discourse. After I ran nvram show | grep dns_probe, it was clear I found the culprit.
[email protected]:/tmp/home/root# nvram show | grep dns_probe
I ran the following three lines and confirmed the traffic stopped. No reboot was necessary. The first post I read recommended setting dns_probe_content to 0.0.0.0 and dns_probe_host to “” (effectively blank). I later found a post by RMerlin that explains setting dns_probe_content to blank disables the watchdog service but effectively disables the dual WAN feature. It would make sense that dual WAN would require a watchdog service. So, if you use dual WAN, don’t do this. Otherwise, you should be fine.
[email protected]:/tmp/home/root# nvram set dns_probe_content=
[email protected]:/tmp/home/root# nvram set dns_probe_host=
[email protected]:/tmp/home/root# nvram commit
Jumped onto my server and noticed a few out of date packages. A quick
% sudo yum update reported the following:
error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 12323/139745043400512 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library
error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30973)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
Fortunately, the fix was easy:
% sudo rpm --rebuilddb
Once complete, yum update worked like new.
For a while, I’ve been trolling the rich world of infosec tools offered in distributions like Kali Linux and BlackArch. Many of these tools have been a huge boost to my productivity and efficiency. Whether looking to defend a network, do network discovery, or just get a better idea of what tools adversaries use, learning these tool sets is critical to the success of today’s IT pros.
I’ll be covering tutorials on some of the more relevant infosec tools, scripts, and applications to the every day IT professional. For starters, I’ll be doing tutorials and demos of information gathering tools directly listed on the Kali Linux tools website. As I build out a streamlined process and home studio, I hope to improve the format and production quality, eventually introducing personal narration instead of text only, onscreen guides.
I’d love your input and feedback as I start down this path.
Follow along here on my blog or subscribe to the InfoSecTech YouTube channel.
Thanks for your support. I’m hoping this becomes a valuable contribution to the rich community of existing IT and infosec pros. | <urn:uuid:e45d64f9-4aab-4360-ae2f-1ba51b259f7a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.healey.io/ | 2020-09-29T16:06:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.874144 | 1,343 |
Weekly horoscopes (May 31-June 6, 2020) Aquarius, Leo, Libra, and all other astrology signs — check out your seven-day astrological predictions
ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Aries: Sometimes life takes a course of its own and you’re left what on earth is happening. Social gatherings may not be working out as hoped. But what did you expect? This is a perfect moment for getting in touch with a former partner, so dust down your old address books.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 21)
Taurus: Creative Taureans should soon be on top of the world, as are any Bulls who are bursting with ambition, anxious to show what they’re made of. You could be in for a high-spending week, though, with Monday your most extravagant day. That’s because you have dreams to fulfil — and some of them need to be paid for.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)
Gemini: Mercury, your planetary ruler, is forming dramatic relationships. I tell you this just to show you that you’ve got a lot of planets on your side. This has two results. First, your ideas and opinions will be stronger than ever. Secondly, your own financial judgment might suffer: please be cautious.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Cancer: You’ll be reclaiming bad debts, taking broken gadgets back to the shops, resolving problems with your bank and trying to get finances on a firm footing. Happily, a partner will prove surprisingly helpful. But just who can offer the most assistance is something you might not be able to predict.
LEO (July 24 – Aug 23)
Leo: The road ahead has many twists and turns; two steps forward, three steps back. That is the pattern of your life this week. The advice is to grin and bear it and take this unique opportunity to clear up chores which have been bugging you since last year. A bank manager, or other financial associate, must be given correct instructions.
VIRGO (Aug 24 – Sep 23)
Virgo: You may expect a busy start to the week, with hectic times on Monday and Tuesday. Do yourself a favour and get into the fitness business, cleaning up your diet and taking a stroll down to the gym — or at least around the block. When it comes to other people, even a close relationship could be an uphill struggle.
LIBRA (Sep 24 – Oct 23)
Libra: Your friends, lovers and acquaintances have one thing in common; they seem unable to make up their minds or even turn up on time. Your happiest moments will feature good conversation, and hopefully an unexpected trip. At work, you may use your intuition; it’s partly a question of applying commonsense.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 23)
Scorpio: Everything depends on how you respond to the last month’s worth of offers and invitations. You really don’t want to turn down anyone without giving them a fair hearing. After all, you don’t know what you’ll be missing! You must, as a matter of principle, treat all financial transactions with suspicion until the weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 24 – Dec 23)
Sagittarius: Mercury’s awkward aspects are a sure sign of a merry old muddle. Mind you, that doesn’t mean that you’re not about to come up with some pretty amazing conclusions. As the relevant issues at home are so complicated, you should refuse to commit yourself, at least until you have all the information.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23 – Jan. 20)
Capricorn: Your quite understandable self-interest should be tempered by the highest of motives, and partners will give you all credit due to you for that. You’ll do your level best to see that what is good for you is good for everyone. Business fortunes could improve within about four weeks.
AQUARIUS (Jan 21- Feb 19)
Aquarius: Things are not always what they seem. It may look as if other people are being inconsiderate, ducking out of engagements or just not turning up. But, look at it like this: every cancellation gives you the chance to change your plans, so they suit you.
PISCES (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Pisces: What a strange time this is. Your imagination may be troubling you, but at moments like these even trivial events give a glimpse into life’s deeper meaning and the reasons why you’re here. At least you will worry much less about delays and postponements. | <urn:uuid:63acc7fd-2aaf-4431-9219-e72fd09fcb21> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.indianspice.co.za/2020/05/31/horoscope-of-the-week-may-31-june-6-2020/ | 2020-09-29T16:59:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.954123 | 997 |

Whenever The Viking Lady finishes, I mean truly finishes–no more edits–a manuscript, she prints it out and admires it in all its 95,000 word glory. 😉 #Avelynn2 #Viking #ItsComing
Here’s a sneak peek at a post I wrote for Relentless Writers! Check it out to read the full article. xoxo
Two of my favourite words. To a writer, they are the culmination of days, months, or years of blood, sweat, and tears. But they are misleading. We write them, sit back, and revel in our cleverness, in our determination, our grit, our savvy, our persistence, and our sheer magnificent brilliance. It could grace the page of a blog post, social media blast, short story, novella, screenplay, or novel. Writing THE END feels incredible, but it’s just another beginning. THE END is the start of EDITING.
I recently attended Bookapalooza, which is a really cool venue in my hometown where local authors get together and sell their wares. There were speakers and panels and celebrity guest authors. I was honoured to sit on a panel with fellow romance authors Molly O’Keefe and Mary Sullivan. These ladies are veterans. They’ve written a lot of books. They’ve been doing this a long time. Avelynn is my debut historical romance. I was the newb in the room, but they welcomed me with open arms. I was humbled and thrilled to sit at the table beside them. *girlie fan crush moment over* Back to my point: one of the audience members asked the panel a question, “What do you like better, writing or editing?”
Click here for the remainder of this fabulous article. 😀
Dear Goddess, I’ve almost completed my round 2 of edits on my novel. I really like where it sits right now. At what point should I start submitting queries to agents?
I am the Goddess of art and literature. I am the Goddess of the moon. The most auspicious time for you to submit your manuscript will be on the full moon. November 25th and December 25th. If you wait until 2016, you will miss your window.
Goddess keep you,
I am thrilled to announce that Avelynn will be published in the fall of 2015 by St. Martin’s Press imprint Thomas Dunne Books. Gratitude and much love and respect to my wonderful agent, Margaret Bail, of Inklings Literary Agency.
As a reminder, here’s a little ditty all about Avelynn. Can’t wait to see it on the shelves!
Avelynn wants equality. She wants love, respect, and the freedom to choose her life and follow her pagan faith. Unfortunately, she lives in Anglo-Saxon England.
It is the year 869, and Somerset has flourished under twenty years of peace. But with the whisper of war against the Vikings threatening their security, Avelynn’s father makes an uncompromising decision forcing her into a betrothal with Demas, a man who only covets her wealth and status.
As tension mounts between her unwavering convictions and Demas’s ambitions, Avelynn stumbles into a passionate affair with Alrik the Bloodaxe, a Viking warlord. In a summer of awakening passion, Avelynn finds the love and respect she craves, while Demas’s tactics to possess her become more desperate and increasingly brutal.
Avelynn challenges the country’s most powerful men, disregards the Christian church, leads an army into battle, and faces Alrik on the battlefield. Passion and desire come at a high cost and through her inexorable choices and actions, Avelynn risks losing everything she values most.
Set within the social and political turmoil of Alfred the Great’s England, Avelynn brings the Dark Ages to light and illuminates one woman’s passionate struggle to fight for what she believes in.

UK loses top ten place in global energy table
For the first time, the UK has fallen out of the top ten of the World Energy Council’s World Energy Trilemma Index.
The energy industry contributes £6 billion in tax to the treasury and supports nearly 620,000 energy jobs across the country, both directly and through the supply chain.
The World Energy Council labelled the government’s lack of clarity and myriad changes as the cause for leaving the country facing a potential gap in energy supply.
The council’s “Trillema Index” has been ranking countries on their energy security, costs and decarbonisation efforts for the last six years and the UK has been one of its best performers.
In the 2016 World Energy Trillema Index the UK fell to 11 th in the table, as the WEC claims it faces ‘significant challenges’ when securing energy supply following a steady decline of domestically produced fossil fuels.
Questions were raised about the UK’s plans to close their remaining coal plants, as the World Energy Council believed that the Brexit vote could significantly increase the cost of its energy imports.
The government pledged to phase out coal power by 2025 last year, as leaving the single market as part of a hard Brexit could result in an increase in the cost of energy imports. Last year, 6% of the UK’s electricity supply came via interconnectors to the continent.
Other issues included the uncertainty surrounding the ownership of Hinkley Point, with concerns over the changes to the regulation of foreign ownership of critical infrastructure.
Also the sharp decrease in Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) for wind and solar power, could potentially hinder investment and impact on the UK’s goal to further diversify its energy supply and improve environmental sustainability.
However, the WEC, formed in 1923, was encouraged by the establishment of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, which has replaced the Department of Energy and Climate Change. This change is believed to provide more clarity for future energy investments.
The UK has been added to a watch list, which includes the US, Germany and Japan, all of whom are expected to experience negative changes immediately.
European countries made up nine of the top 10 on the Index, with Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland taking the top three positions. | <urn:uuid:02d80450-d661-411d-905b-e27f0180a281> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mcginley.co.uk/news/uk-loses-top-ten-place-in-global-energy-table/bp205/ | 2020-09-29T16:29:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202418.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929154729-20200929184729-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.951982 | 478 |
