Declaring Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Washington – Welcome! My name is Jonathan Smith and I am a bankruptcy attorney in Bellevue, Washington.
I am going to talk briefly about a Chapter 7 bankruptcy at this point. Declaring Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Washington, is the bankruptcy that most people think of when they think of bankruptcy. This is what people do to essentially get rid of all of their unsecured debt and get a fresh start.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy gets rid of your credit card debt, your medical bills, your auto deficiencies and that sort of thing. Most people are able to keep everything they own, including their vehicles. But there are certain exemptions that are given. Also, you have to meet certain income requirements. But, most people don’t have a major problem with that. | <urn:uuid:206fd81a-25e7-47d8-80ae-d9b5b44e7e8e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://advantagelegalgroup.com/bankruptcy-basics/declaring-chapter-7-bankruptcy-in-washington/ | 2020-09-24T14:46:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.9695 | 163 |

Every year we recognize some customers for their AEC designs. Every year I am amazed, inspired, and in awe of their projects and the innovative ways they used Autodesk software. These nine winners and the Innovator of the Year will present at Autodesk University 2019 in only a couple of weeks.
Read about the winning customers and their projects.
”When it comes to the AEC industry, projects come in all shapes and sizes. So does the innovative use of technology—whether it’s for an arena, a bridge, a metro line, or a mixed-use development. That’s why Autodesk’s AEC Excellence Awards honor the small, medium, and large-sized projects for infrastructure design, building design, and construction that are making an impact with advanced approaches and pioneering achievements. They’re reflective of how far we’ve come and inspire us all to do even more.”

Hello. First I hope you and your family are safe, healthy and protected during this coronavirus epidemic we are experiencing. My first ever on-camera video got so many great comments back, Brandon asked me if I would do an on-camera video for this charging HST in Ontario 2020 vlog. This is after his most recent HST in Ontario blog and I agreed. My name is Ira Smith and I am a bankruptcy trustee in Toronto.
I want to talk about the issue of businesses in Ontario and HST obligations and the new program the Government of Canada has rolled out as part of its COVID-19 Economic Response Plan. So I know you are going to get value from this video. It is very short, hang on and I hope you can watch it until the end.
Now the Canada Revenue Agency came out and said that anyone filing HST in Ontario, or any other province, can defer payment on any obligation that arises between March and June 2020 until the end of June. So if you're a quarterly filer or a monthly filer, you do not have to pay until June 2020. CRA said that they would like you to file your HST in Ontario returns on time. If you file them electronically, they will be processed. If you file them by paper no one is going to do anything with them until the all-clear is sounded and the government is back working as normal.
If you file electronically, they will be processed automatically. But if human intervention is required, nothing will happen until everyone is back working normally.
So it is obvious that the government is doing this so that it can assist the business in preserving its cash flow so that it doesn't pay the HST when due. Rather, you can wait until the end of June and use that cash for more pressing matters.
Now that is a good thing but there are five issues that I have identified that you as an entrepreneur business owner should consider. I'm not telling you to defer the payment or not defer the payment but just consider these issues.
Your business cash flow - The first issue is will your cash position in your business be any better at the end of June than it is today? Right now, it looks like we are in this for the next few months. So at the end of June, most businesses’ cash position will probably not be any better and could actually be worse than today. The government takes this into consideration. Assuming the all-clear is sounded at the end of June, will the CRA still give you an extended grace period in order to catch up on your payments?
Will your business be ready for the “all clear”? - Secondly, if you are a quarterly or monthly filer, by the time you get to the end of June, you will have at least two periods where HST in Ontario might be payable. Right now the way CRA came out with their announcement, they would expect you to make both payments at that time. Again, will you have the cash to make one payment let alone double or more payments and what will their response be? Will they give you more time or not? Only time will tell.
How many HST in Ontario and other cash issues will you have? - The third issue is, once the all-clear is sounded, businesses are going to need to ramp up and they're going to need to bring back workers. They are also going to need to put money into marketing and advertising. Again, will you have the cash to make your HST payment then? Will the government understand if you don’t. Will they extend the grace period or not for giving more time for businesses to ramp up and start getting more cash in the door?
Directors - The HST in Ontario liability is always a director liability. Once the all-clear is sounded and companies are back operating, one or more periods of HST will be payable. Will, the government give an extended grace period or are they going to start hammering directors. Will they get right back to threatening directors if the company doesn't pay all the HST arrears immediately? I don't know.
Deemed trust claim - Finally, unremitted HST in Ontario is a deemed trust claim against all of the assets of the company or the unincorporated business. Once things get back to whatever the new normal is going to be, will CRA go back to its normal collection procedures? it could include garnishing bank accounts, accounts receivable and third party demand them in order to get their HST money. Are they going to just start doing that right away? The government is spending billions if not trillions of dollars trying to prop up the Canadian economy. You know they are going to need to collect money as fast as they can. Hopefully, they will be understanding.
So those are the five issues I have identified. Each business owner is going to have to decide what is best for them. Try to pay the HST when due when they file assuming they file on time or wait until the end of June and see if the government extends the deferral. Or, make all the payments then whenever the deferral ends.
I hope this information has been helpful to you. Stay safe, stay protected and stay healthy. If you have any questions at all or comments about this information or this video, please shoot me a message or give me a phone call.
These are the problems encountering business owners and their business concerning the HST in Ontario deferment. Should you make use of the deferment being offered by CRA? Only you can address that concern for yourself as well as your organization. I just wanted to highlight all of the concerns that you need to think about. It isn't a straightforward yes or no response.

Baron & Budd was one of the first law firms to successfully handle an asbestos lawsuit and helped to blaze the trail for future asbestos lawyers, even though at the time there was no guarantee of success for our clients or our law firm. We did not know if we were ever going to be paid for our work, but we continued anyway, working hard for our clients because we knew that it was the right thing to do. Because of our hard work, our mesothelioma lawyers helped to open the courtroom doors to future asbestos patients seeking legal help for their illnesses. We are honored to have helped bring this terrible tragedy to light and to help create an avenue to help people who have needlessly suffered because of asbestos exposure.
Major Mesothelioma Verdicts
Note: This is only a sample list of our results. View our case results pdf document for a more comprehensive list of Baron & Budd’s mesothelioma verdicts and settlements. You may also call us at 855-280-7664 or contact us online.
At Baron & Budd we treat every case with the individualized attention of a high profile case, which is why several of the most high-profile families in the United States chose Baron & Budd to represent their loved ones who developed mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure.
Supreme Court Decisions
No other law firm has gone to bat for the rights of mesothelioma victims to the extent that Baron & Budd has, fighting threats to the right of individuals to file lawsuits all the way to the Supreme Court.
When asbestos companies realized that they could not escape responsibility for the asbestos tragedy by pretending not to have known the harm they were causing, a group of companies tried instead to limit the amount they would have to pay to their victims by creating a class action “settlement” that would control the amount of money paid to all present and future asbestos victims.
Baron & Budd teamed up with a group of experts and committed advocates to fight these unfair class action settlements, ultimately convincing the United States Supreme Court that it was unconstitutional to limit the rights of individual asbestos victims to seek individual compensation for the harm they suffered. In two cases, Amchem Products v. Windsor and Ortiz v. Fibreboard Corp., the Supreme Court held the settlements were illegal and improper because they violated due process under the United States Constitution.
By taking this fight to the Supreme Court and winning, Baron & Budd protected the rights of present and future individuals who are harmed by asbestos.
To protect themselves from lawsuits, many asbestos manufacturers filed for bankruptcy. In some instances, trust funds were set up to compensate people who were harmed by the company’s asbestos products. But the establishment of these trusts requires enormous negotiation skills and experience.
Baron & Budd has been instrumental in negotiating bankruptcy trusts. Founder Russell Budd led the negotiation of the 2002 Halliburton $4 billion national asbestos trust fund. This trust fund can now be accessed by individuals all over the United States for mesothelioma claims, even if they are not clients of Baron & Budd, and has provided compensation for countless injured people.
The agreement reached between Halliburton and Baron & Budd created the largest asbestos trust fund of its kind anywhere in the world.
The Right to Pursue a Second Asbestos Lawsuit
The law in some states allows people with a prior asbestos settlement to pursue a second lawsuit to recover additional funds for health issues that might develop later, such as a case of asbestosis later developing into mesothelioma. This wasn’t, however, the case in Texas prior to 2000. Texas law did not allow people to file a second asbestos-related lawsuit. That’s when Baron & Budd stepped in.
In Pustejovsky v. Rapid-American Corp., the firm represented an ironworker who filed a lawsuit for asbestosis decades previously, but was later diagnosed with mesothelioma. Even though Texas law prevented him from recovering additional compensation, Baron and Budd refused to give up, believing that he should have the ability to receive adequate compensation for all his asbestos-related issues.
The case went all the way to the Texas Supreme Court, which ruled that a person who previously achieved compensation for an asbestos-related disease should have the opportunity to pursue additional compensation if they are later diagnosed with mesothelioma.
In addition to convincing the Texas Supreme Court to allow claimants to pursue second asbestos cancer lawsuits, Baron & Budd also led the battle to convince the Iowa Supreme Court and an appellate court in Florida to recognize the right of asbestos victims to pursue two separate asbestos-related lawsuits if their situation permits. Today, many states around the country allow asbestos patients to file a second lawsuit if they develop a separate, asbestos-related disease like mesothelioma.
Protecting Railroad Workers
In 2003, Baron & Budd assisted the non-profit organization Public Justice in Norfolk & Western Railway Co. v. Ayers, a U.S. Supreme Court case regarding compensation for railroad workers who have been diagnosed with asbestos diseases. With Baron & Budd’s support, Public Justice convinced the court that when railroad workers develops asbestosis, they should have the opportunity to receive additional compensation in anticipation of developing future asbestos cancers, such as mesothelioma. Baron & Budd received no fees or other compensation for their work in this case.
This opinion has influenced numerous state courts throughout the country, and has ultimately helped protect the rights of people who have been harmed by asbestos exposure while working for the railroad.
Changing a Louisiana Precedent
In Rando v. Anco Insulations, Baron & Budd took their fight for a Louisiana mesothelioma patient all the way to the Louisiana Supreme Court. According to Louisiana workers’ compensation law, mesothelioma patients whose occupational asbestos exposure prior to 1975 caused their cancer were unable to recover funds through the legal system. The firm convinced the court that mesothelioma patients should not be prevented from receiving compensation because of the workers’ compensation law, since mesothelioma can take decades to manifest.
Disclaimer: Results obtained depend on the facts of each case. Award amounts are not actual cash amounts received by plaintiffs. Deductions are made for liens, attorney fees and expenses.
Baron & Budd has successfully represented people with asbestos diseases, including mesothelioma, and their families for more than 35 years. The cases described below report the net amounts of the verdicts or settlements our clients received in-pocket. These cases were all handled by Baron & Budd mesothelioma lawyers and were not referred to other law firms.

Press Release, September 28, 2011
Coalition against BAYER Dangers (Germany)
Carl Duisberg: "A criminal genius“
29th September 2011 sees the 150th anniversary of the birth of the former Bayer chief executive / Responsible for use of poison gas and forced labour / Coalition demands renaming of streets and removal of honorary citizenship
This Thursday sees the 150th anniversary of the birth of Carl Duisberg, who was chief executive of Bayer AG for many years and intellectual father of IG Farben. The chemist carried significant responsibility for the global rise of the company. During World War I he advocated the use of poison gas, supported the deportation of Belgian forced labourers and demanded the annexation of large areas in Eastern Europe. The pinnacle of Duisbergs lifetime achievements was the merger of companies within the German chemical industry to create the conglomerate IG Farben.
Jan Pehrke from the Coalition against BAYER Dangers says: “Carl Duisberg literally walked over dead bodies for profit. Due to his responsibility for the use of poison gas, the exploitation of forced labourers and the close cooperation with the Nazi regime, the former Bayer chief executive is not suitable as a role model for future generations!". The Coalition demands the renaming of schools (e.g. Duisberg´s former high school in Wuppertal), streets (e.g. in Bonn, Krefeld, Dortmund and Leverkusen), as well as charitable Carl Duisberg centres. In a letter to the Mayor of Leverkusen, Reinhard Buchhorn, the network is furthermore asking for the removal of Duisberg´s honorary citizenship of Leverkusen.
Already at the end of the 19th century Carl Duisberg marketed heroin ruthlessly, as a supposedly harmless cough remedy. Back then Bayer promoted its 'wonder drugs' Aspirin and Heroin worldwide. When a scientist decried the addictive potential of heroin, Duisberg – he was at that point executive director at Bayer – remarked that one had to “silence the opponents. Although the addictive dangers became obvious quickly, the corporation continued selling it profitably for many decades.
Carl Duisbergs role in the exploitation of forced labourers during World War I is also of historic significance. In the autumn of 1916, Duisberg bemoaned the lack of workers and demanded the use of forced labourers with the claim "Open the large human pool of Belgium". The Interior Ministry of the German Reich picked up the proposal of the industry and arranged the deportation of 60,000 Belgians, which led to worldwide protests. The deportation is regarded as the predecessor of the much bigger slave labour programme implemented during World War II.
At the same time, Carl Duisberg developed - together with Fritz Haber - poison gases such as "Gruenkreuz (phosgene) and “Mustard gas, tested them on the front for the first time and pushed for their use – knowingly in breach of The Hague Land Warfare Convention. In Leverkusen Duisberg set up a school specifically for chemical warfare. Towards the end of the war Duisberg and Haber were on extradition lists by the allied forces and they feared prosecution as war criminals.
Carl Duisbergs greatest success was the foundation of IG Farben in 1925, where he was appointed head of the supervisory board. Duisberg had organized the merger of companies within the German chemical industry to form the largest European corporation at the time over many decades.
Duisbergs stance towards the Weimar Republic was hostile. He organized industry donations to conservative and nationalistic parties, including to the Nazis, from 1930 onwards. In 1931 Duisberg demanded: “The German people constantly cries out for a Führer who will liberate it from its unbearable situation. If a man comes along now who has proved to have no inhibitions, we must follow him unconditionally." In the same year Duisberg demanded, in a speech before the Chamber of Commerce in Dusseldorf, the creation of a European economic area under German domination.
In return for the millions in donations, the Nazis guaranteed to buy synthetic fuel and rubber from IG Farben. From then onwards no other corporation collaborated so closely with the Third Reich. Carl Duisberg crowed on the occasion of his retirement: "I am looking forward to my retirement under our Führer Adolf Hitler." Hitler in return offered his condolences on Duisberg's death in 1935: "With him the German chemical industry has lost one of its first pioneers and a successful leader, and the German industry one of its great organisers. His name will live on honorably in Germany.
Jan Pehrke from the Coalition against BAYER Dangers concludes: “Carl Duisberg was a convinced nationalist, a man characterized by patriarchal imperiousness and a fierce enemy of trade unions. One can only describe Duisberg as a criminal genius, who subjugated morals to profits throughout his life." Since the 1980s the Coalition has been concerned with the history of Bayer and, amongst others, published the book “Von Anilin bis Zwangsarbeit – Die Geschichte der IG Farben“ (From Aniline to Forced Labour – The History of IG Farben).

Marketing: Do any of us really like doing it? The “M” word seems so slimy. But let’s face it, no amount of good vibes, vision-board making, and rock star talent will get us recognized without some sort of promotion. There is no “If you build it, they will come.” With millions of people doing business on the internet these days, a mompreneur absolutely must take her product to the people.
I got into the marketing industry by accident. Needing a way to promote my startup and having no advertising funds spurred me to set out on my own. Advertising is intimidating, and I’m an introvert. Nonetheless, I’ve have luck. After a while, I realized that many other wonderful small businesses weren’t even getting off the ground due to the fear of marketing. My goal is to help the good people of the world get their awesome products and services out there. Big box stores have nothing over our unique and helpful offerings, but we have to market ourselves.
The first hurdle is getting over the fact that you must market to succeed. Maybe you make the best cloth diapers in the Midwest. Maybe your essential oil blends knock the socks of the most discerning noses. You love making this stuff, and have seen the benefits of your product. You want to spend all of your time making stuff. You didn’t sign up to be an advertiser, and shouldn’t have to because your stuff is the best! It should sell itself, right?
So, why is that mama making the “ho-hum” diapers and lower grade oil getting all the sales? It’s probably because she’s spending a lot of time and energy digging into the mechanics of their business and promoting their products. She is stealing your spotlight, mama! Don’t let that happen. And don’t even get me started on the department stores.
Everyone tells me they fear promoting themselves but enjoy recommending great products to their friends. Do you agree with this? Let’s keep this fact in mind, because it’s a really important point.
The first reason this is important is because you have a great product! Maybe I’m making an assumption here, but I’m guessing that if you’re well-researched and talented, you probably do have something great to offer. People need your products, and have no idea you exist. This is a disservice to yourself and others.
I would suggest sitting down and making a list of all the great things about your product. How has it helped you, your family, and your friends? What is unique or special about it? How is it used? Get others to tell you what they like about your product. Write down all of this information and keep it handy. You will refer to it time-and-again.
Believing in your offering is so important, because this is what pushes successful businesses to the top. You must be honest, excited, and show integrity when you’re talking about your product. Even on the internet, people can sniff out a dishonest salesperson like a cat smells a fish in a pond. You must learn to talk about your product like a satisfied customer, (and I hope you are one). Enthusiasm is contagious.
Remember how people “enjoy recommending great products to their friends?” People can’t recommend your product if they don’t know it exists. There are many ways of going about this, and social media platforms are an essential part of today’s global marketplace. What’s so great about social media? Once you have established a strong presence there, your adoring customers have the ability to like and share business and products to their friends. It’s like a word-of-mouth recommendation, and we all know how valuable that is.
In the past, companies broadcast their sales pitches on one-way platforms that included magazine ads, TV or radio commercials, billboards, and store shelves. And that’s a very effective form of marketing if you have a lot of money to spend. If not, social media may be your first endeavor, because it’s virtually free.
But social marketing is a two-way street. The consumers carry (broadcast) the brand’s message on social media. While many people fear their product’s reputation being subjected to unflattering comments, I’ve found these instances to be few-and-far-between for small business owners who are honest, carry quality products, and offer great customer service. If you do these things, you should not fear social media. Besides, what do you have to lose if you’re not selling much, anyhow?
You will encounter bumps along the way, and it will feel uncomfortable for a while. New things always do. Just give it a try, and don’t give up when the going gets tough. It’s those who push through that find success.

Vanderbilt researchers have identified a highly expressed microRNA crucial in angiotensin induced hypertension; and developed a therapeutic strategy that focuses on local or systemic administration of antisense microRNA to inhibit microRNA expression as treatment for vascular diseases. Promising data in animal models reveals that the inhibition of such microRNA not only prevents fibrosis but also reverses previously established aortic stiffening.
Hypertension is a major risk factor that affects about 1 in 3 adults in America. This disease has been associated with increased fibrosis due to excess accumulation of collagen in blood vessels causing high blood pressure. Current treatments for hypertension and other fibrotic diseases like interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, keloids and hypertrophic scars are often unsuccessful and require multiple agents. The antisense microRNA therapeutic strategy provides an effective approach that can be used as a single agent or in combination for the treatment of multiple fibrotic diseases. In addition, this therapy can be used to coat intravascular medical devices to prevent localized tissue fibrosis.
Potential Commercial Applications
? Systemic or local administration of anti-microRNA
? Coating of intravascular stent or balloon angioplasty
? Antisense miRNA topical cream for keloid and hypertrophic scar treatment
? Aerosol miRNA inhibitor administration for pulmonary fibrosis treatment

National Express is a multinational public transport company that is best known in Britain for its coaches. In February this year it released this picture. The company has bought its last diesel bus.
From here on in, it will be investing in electric vehicles. The company’s first electric buses are entering service in the Midlands this year, and all their buses will be electric by 2030.
Coaches are a little trickier. There are fewer opportunities to charge on longer journeys and there isn’t actually a viable long distance electric coach on the market yet. National Express will have to develop it, and they are seeking an industry partner to do it. In the meantime, the first electric coach will be trialled next year on the shorter route out to Stansted Airport. If all goes to plan, their whole coach fleet will be electric by 2035, a few years after the buses.
“Bus and Coach travel is already one of the greenest ways to get around, with each bus removing up to 75 cars from the road”, says the CEO Dean Finch. “However we understand the imperative to go much further, so we are today setting out an ambition to be the first zero emission transport group in the UK. Our decision to never again buy a diesel bus in the UK coupled with our support in leading the zero emission transition in coach will place our UK operations at the forefront of efforts to tackle climate change and poor air quality. We simply believe this is the right thing to do for our customers, the communities we serve and our stakeholders.”
Dean Finch is entirely correct on the green credentials of bus travel. The more people choose to travel by coach the better, and electric coaches might help to make it a more desirable form of transport.
It will also do away with the biggest downside of buses, which is pollution from diesels in traffic. I used to work on the same street as Victoria Coach station, London’s busiest coach depot. There was a queue of buses waiting for their turn, idling in the street between two tall buildings, with nowhere for the pollution to disperse to. It was known as one of the most polluted streets in London, and if opened the window, I’d get a thin layer of black dust settling across my desk. That will be a thing of the past as coach and bus travel shifts to electric.
Where National Express go, others will hopefully follow, and it ties in with recent government announcements about bus travel too. After years of neglect, bus travel seems to be valued again. I’m not going to say this often, but this might be something Prime Minister Boris Johnson will excel at – as a former mayor of London, he understands buses. London is a global success story for its bus transport, and if his government can bring some of that learning to the rest of the country, we might be able to put a dent in those stubbornly unyielding transport emissions. | <urn:uuid:f8647cbc-9b4c-46e5-b29a-ca4109f2ec31> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://earthbound.report/2020/03/13/national-express-will-be-britains-first-zero-emission-bus-company/ | 2020-09-24T15:36:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.970085 | 601 |

Erstwhile Contributing Editor Travis R May examines the connections between Marvel’s Black Panther and the ongoing debate surrounding museums and artifact collections acquired during the colonial period. This post does contain spoilers for Black Panther.
Writer/Director Ryan Coogler’s first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 2018’s Black Panther, is a fairly radical film. This is appropriate, given the character’s origins in the 1960s, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. The film’s vision of the Afrofuturist nation-state of Wakanda—which, in the continuity of the MCU, avoided colonial exploitation and expropriation at the hands of the European powers and ultimately turned into a thriving metropolis by dint of access to a rare natural mineral resource known as vibranium—is a dramatic rejection of centuries of racist Western denigration of African peoples and culture. A year after its release, it is clear that this premise resonated with wide audiences, as the film still looms large in the zeitgeist. It earned more than $700,000,000 in its domestic theatrical run, beating out fellow Marvel star-studded heavyweight Avengers: Infinity War for the 2018 box office crown, and more recently it has been nominated for seven Academy Awards, including in the Best Picture category—a historic first for a superhero/comic book adaptation film.
Perhaps the most radical figure is the film’s villain: N’Jadaka, better known as Erik Killmonger, played by Michael B. Jordan. Killmonger, the orphaned son of a Wakandan prince, raised in anonymous exile in Oakland, has been disaffected by the racism and prejudice endemic in his adopted country. His service as a soldier of the imperialist American state in foreign wars has only deepened his cynicism, setting him on an irrevocable path of violence. Although there are several stages in his scheme, Killmonger’s basic plot is to stage a coup against his long-lost cousin (our titular protagonist, a.k.a. T’Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman) in order to procure the Wakandan throne and access to the bleeding-edge military resources of the Wakandan state, which he then plans to distribute to guerilla sleeper cells embedded in major cities across the world. The tables turned, these groups will launch what will effectively be a race war against the white colonialist powers in a great struggle for Black liberation. The audience is expected to be horrified by this prospect, and to root for T’Challa to prevail in this struggle (his plans involve massive foreign aid programs to other African countries and Black diasporas, and reconciliation and cooperation with the West rather than violence). But, perhaps surprisingly, the film goes to some lengths to make Killmonger into a compelling villain with complex and even tragic motivations. After the film’s premiere, the hashtag #killmongerwasright trended on Twitter. Clearly, even viewers without a working knowledge of Frantz Fanon’s theories regarding decolonization and the necessary catharsis of violent opposition to the inherent and fundamentally genocidal violence of settler colonialism found something to admire in the sheer audacity of Killmonger’s rebuke to the neoliberal, imperialist, and predominantly white supremacist world order.
Setting aside the film’s intriguing decision to portray its central drama as a cross between a Shakespearean family tragedy and a rumination on the philosophical disagreements that created a gulf between the non-violent and armed resistance wings of the American Civil Rights Movement, it is Killmonger’s introduction at the fictional “Museum of Great Britain”—a thinly veiled analogue of London’s famous British Museum—that has perhaps provoked the most internet think pieces. It is worth watching and dissecting in full for its shrewd commentary on racial politics (Killmonger, as a black man in a predominantly white space, is immediately profiled by museum security, for example), but suffice it to say that the scene culminates with an accusatory Killmonger questioning a museum curator about the provenance of West African artifacts on display. When informed that the pieces are not for sale by the indignant curator, he belligerently (but astutely) responds: “How do you think your ancestors got these? You think they paid a fair price? Or did they take it, like they took everything else?”
Coogler’s decision to fire shots across the bow of one of the world’s premiere museums—not in a small, awards season art film or a documentary, mind you, but in the biggest blockbuster action film of 2018—is a rather stunning and bold development, but also one that is sophisticatedly reflective of cultural trends. Museums, regarded by most in Western societies as benign repositories of artifacts and knowledge, have come under increasing scrutiny of late—and not merely from revolutionary sources (Killmonger is, after all, the villain of the story, and we are here again meant to disagree with his violent methods), but from academics, the media, and affected indigenous peoples. The question of how to preserve and display artwork, artifacts, and even human remains that were acquired (or, more often, looted) by Europeans, primarily during the height of European and American imperialism between the eighteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, is an extremely thorny ethical issue. The British Museum and leading institutions in France, Germany, and the United States have, for the most part, a sordid track record when it comes to addressing these concerns, much less rectifying them, but recent trends suggest that this issue is gaining wider and wider recognition and support—perhaps in part due to the critical and commercial success of Black Panther—and that museums are finally beginning to feel pressure to address these concerns.
Since the release of the film last February, a number of prominent art and artifact sales, public protests, and government studies and decisions have taken place with bearing on the issue. Some, such as the private sale at Christie’s of an Assyrian relief from King Ashurnasirpal II’s Northwest Palace at Nimrud in modern-day Iraq, represent depressing business as usual. Despite backlash from academics against the sale of the item by Virginia Theological Seminary, which had held it since the 1850s, it fetched over $30,000,000 at auction—a figure three times the initially valued amount, possibly (as Columbia University Professor Zainab Bahrani asserts) because the destruction of the palace itself by ISIS insurgents between 2015 and late 2016 created scarcity in the market for these pieces. The relief went to a private buyer who unsurprisingly chose to remain anonymous, likely because this person did not want to be associated with ISIS’s enslavement and murder of several thousand women and children that helped boost the value of their new piece. Virtually no consideration was given to the cultural heritage of the relief as a vital piece of Iraq’s history. Nor was this the first instance of the robbery of Iraq’s cultural heritage that came about as a result of disastrous US foreign policy blunders: in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad was looted, and evidence suggests that sales of these pieces on the black market went on to support global terrorism. Collectors turned a tidy profit, but at an enormous cost for the people of Iraq. Such is the will of free market capitalism.
In other recent cases, a number of activist organizations and African and Asian nation-states have confronted the governments and museums of Western countries, with mixed results. In December 2018, a guerrilla “Stolen Goods Tour” of the British Museum was conducted by the activist group “bp or not bp?”, which takes issue with the long-term sponsorship of the British Museum by bp (formerly British Petroleum), because the group believes that the arts are tainted by association with the deeply immoral operating practices of the fossil fuel leviathan. The tour highlighted a number of artifacts that were acquired through violent or illicit means by British diplomats, explorers, and military or naval personnel, including the Gweagal Shield, an Aboriginal Australian wooden shield that was taken by James Cook’s first landing party at Botany Bay in 1770 after they shot its original owner. Other items that were featured in the Stolen Goods Tour or are otherwise being held controversially by the British Museum include the Parthenon (or Elgin) Marbles and the Benin Bronzes, as well as a colossal, four-tonne Moai statue known as the Hoa Hakananai’a that the people of Easter Island have repeatedly requested the return of, explaining that it is an incredibly important spiritual artifact that is understood to contain the soul of the Rapa Nui people of the island.
The British Museum’s response to these requests and demands has followed a pattern. Basically, they will not entertain requests for permanent restitutions. This is, at least partially, the result of an Act of Parliament passed in the 1960s, around the time of the formal dissolution of the British Empire: this act prevents the Museum from deaccessioning items in the Museum’s collection outside of two very special circumstances—in the case of human remains (a complicated issue we will return to below), or in the case of artworks stolen from Jewish owners by the Nazis during the course of the Holocaust. Items seized during Britain’s long period of imperial dominance in the formally or informally colonized world quite often do not fall under these parameters. In order to soften this blow, however, the British Museum consistently presents itself as a “leading lender,” offering to temporarily loan out items for short-term exhibitions in the countries they were acquired from. The British Museum officials also emphasize the benefits of their stated mission as an institution that presents the breadth of human history by exhibiting these artifacts as “ambassadors” for various cultures that reach mass audiences (as many as 6 million people passed through the museum’s doors in 2017, for example). Their seemingly noble goal, to bring awareness and appreciation for these artifacts and their diverse creators to mass audiences, rings hollow in light of the fact that it often runs counter to the expressly stated wishes of the indigenous peoples to whom these artifacts originally belonged—to bring them home, once and for all, as part of their cultural heritage. In this sense, it is nothing more than a form of coercive cultural imperialism. In fairness, however, it must be noted that since the new year, the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford have all announced plans to hire full-time staff positions that will evaluate collections for stolen or otherwise problematic colonial artwork. Part of this process will involve updating exhibits with “very honest” labels and explanations that reveal the true circumstances of the exploitation and expropriation of the pieces. These are, admittedly, small steps, and a far cry from a commitment to formal return, but they are evidence that the museums are beginning to feel compelled to answer the rising public pressure to be more transparent about their collections and acquisition practices.
Some recent news is more promising, however. In November 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to the return of 26 statues and thrones held in the Quai Branly Museum in Paris to the modern-day state of Benin in West Africa. These items had been stolen from the Kingdom of Dahomey after the colonial conquest of 1892, and represent merely a handful of the more than 46,000 items in the museum’s African collection that a recent report described as having been obtained under some degree of duress. The Ivory Coast, another former French colonial possession in West Africa, has subsequently requested the return of 148 works from France as well. While Macron has been at least somewhat receptive to the idea of these proposals, the director of the Quai Branly Museum, Stéphane Martin, is deeply critical of the proceedings, complaining that “everything that was collected and bought during the colonial period” has been tainted by the recent report with “the impurity of colonial crimes.” Martin contends that some of the collections were acquired through scientific expeditions or private purchases, and that these should be held separately from artifacts and items obtained through violent or coercive means (although the mechanisms for effecting this evaluation remain murky at this time).
The related issue of the restitution of human remains has also gained public prominence since the turn of the century. During the colonial period, vast numbers of skulls of indigenous peoples were bought or more often stolen in the colonies and sent to museums and universities in Europe and America. In the most horrific cases, such as in the aftermath of the Herero and Nama Genocides and the Maji Maji Rebellion in German South-West Africa and German East Africa respectively, these skulls had belonged to the direct victims of German colonial violence (and, on several occasions, Herero and Nama women imprisoned in concentration camps were forced to prepare the skulls for transport by taking the decapitated heads and flaying them of their skin with shards of glass before boiling them). In the past two decades, the descendants of the survivors of this colonial violence have lobbied for the return of the skulls of their kinsmen. This process has been fraught with complications. Although there have been restitutions of some skulls from German museums and universities to Namibia, Tanzania, and Cameroon, sometimes accompanied by formal handover ceremonies (but not—as of yet, anyway—a formal apology and restitution plan from the German government), thousands more remain in Germany. Similarly, the Natural History Museum in Paris still has over 18,000 skulls of various ethnicities in its collection. And, although several hundred Maori skulls held in American and British institutions have been returned to New Zealand in recent years, some institutions have held out against this restitution trend. Despite its own written policies, for example, the British Museum has refused to return a number of Maori and Torres Islander skulls held in vaults deep underneath their campus at Russell Square to their respective peoples, stating that “it was not clear that the importance of the remains to an original community outweighed the significance and importance of the remains as sources of information about human history.” This has generated alarm and derision from activists and academics alike, who have quite correctly pointed out that the “research” value of these skulls was never anything more than a white supremacist colonial-era fantasy and therefore totally “bogus,” as they had been collected as part of the long-discredited branch of racialist pseudo-science known as phrenology or craniometry. Other academics and curators have observed that there is virtually no evidence that meaningful scientific research has ever been conducted using these vast collections of skull specimens. Sadly, this restitution process is likely to last well into the twenty-first century, and it seems just as evident that some institutions will resist all efforts to participate in the restitution process at every turn.

Finally, it should be noted that there is also the possibility that new technologies might ultimately help non-European peoples in their quest to retrieve stolen artifacts from foreign museum collections, but reason to be skeptical about the long-term prospects for success of this initiative as well. Recent strides in 3D scanning and printing technology, for example, have led to discussions about the feasibility of creating printed models for use in the museums, while allowing for the restitution of the originals back to their country and/or people of provenance. In many cases, the institutional weight of museums has pushed back against this idea, denying access for researchers who would like to begin the process of scanning and digitizing collections. This has led to what might be termed guerrilla museum research. In 2015, for example, Nora al-Badri and Jan Nikolai Nelles supposedly surreptitiously scanned a bust of Queen Nefertiti contained in the Neues Museum in Berlin with cell phones, and then used the data to print a 3D model that they put on display in Egypt. Described as “the most ethical art heist” in history, this model has opened up the possibility that similar feats could be accomplished with other stolen or appropriated artwork and artifacts. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Neues Museum was unamused by this scheme, and Germany (like many other European countries) continues to display “a conservative and proprietary view” of its collection. The ideal, obviously, would be for museums to participate in the scanning process, and then return the original while keeping the printed model, but for now many museums remain apparently hostile to the possibility of even allowing 3D scans to be taken for the purposes of creating a model to be provided to those seeking a restitution of the original artifact. A sea change will likely need to occur before most museums begin to perceive participation in digital scanning and 3D model creation as their best option for ethically maintaining the integrity of their exhibits.
In summary, it should be clear that the museum as an institution is not and has never been a merely neutral or beneficent holder and displayer of objects and artifacts. Much to the dismay of museum boards across the world, it has become a pivotal battle ground in the ongoing struggle for decolonization, and against Euro-American white supremacy, as indigenous and formerly colonized peoples strive to reclaim material pieces of their looted cultural heritage. This is not to go so far as to state that the museum as an institution should be abolished, of course—there are certainly arguments that it can serve as a useful educational tool, and especially if museums make a genuine effort to openly and honestly present the troubled past of their acquisitive practices while working with partners across the world to permanently return important pieces to local institutions—but it is well past time for a reckoning that addresses the myriad ways that museums have been and often continue to be the beneficiaries of violent European expansion and exploitation across the globe. Black Panther is neither the first piece of art that has expressed this concern, nor will it likely be the last, but its phenomenal success and cultural reach has no doubt brought this topic of conversation to a wider swath of the public than any before. For that, it should be commended, and Coogler’s work should serve as a reminder that popular, blockbuster fare like superhero films need not merely serve the lowest common denominator of audience expectations: they are capable of raising important questions amidst the bombast and the pageantry and the costumes.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/culture/2017-10/19/content_33436716_2.htm; https://www.rct.uk/collection/2105644/looty-the-pekingese. The examples of immoral colonial period looting are far too many to identify individually, but perhaps highlighting one especially brazen example is instructive: when, during the Second Opium War in October 1860, British forces stormed, looted, and burned the Qing Emperor’s Summer Palace, they carried off with them several million artifacts and pieces of artwork, along with the first Pekingese dog to ever be brought to the British Isles (she was found in a dresser drawer by the British troops, and was subsequently presented by the commander of the expedition as a gift to Queen Victoria, an avid dog lover, who appropriately enough decided to name her new pet “Lootie”). In 2017, UNESCO estimated that over a million of these relics were still held abroad in the collections of 47 museums, primarily located in Europe.
This is not to suggest that museum curators are necessarily complicit in the questionable activities undertaken by the institutions that employ them. It should also be observed that curators, for the most part, are deeply invested in their work, and value the artifacts under their care while respecting the cultures that produced these items. Questionable acquisition policies and decisions to avoid difficult discussions about deaccessioning artifacts often take place at much higher levels within these institutions.
My thanks to Sarah Luginbill, Ph.D. Candidate in the CU Department of History, for drawing my attention to many of the articles cited below.
https://hyperallergic.com/475256/hundreds-attend-guerrilla-activist-led-tour-of-looted-artifacts-at-the-british-museum/?fbclid=IwAR2QUMa-MC2GL8d0MMkjSgBDeCDLHyn6bzR5AxJ4sW39c1rH02sjokncqNY. The activist who gave a presentation on this topic, Rodney Kelly, is a direct descendant of Cooman, the shield’s original owner. In his talk in the museum’s “Enlightenment Room”, in front of a display case containing the shield, he explained the spiritual significance of the artifact to his people.
The Parthenon Marbles were acquired in the early 19th century by the British diplomat Lord Elgin, who acquired permission to take the magnificent friezes out of the ruined Parthenon from the Ottoman Turkish authorities (Greece was, at this time, a part of the Ottoman Empire). In 1816, the British Museum purchased the stones from Elgin. Since achieving independence in 1832, Greece has attempted via diplomatic, political, and legal avenues to retrieve the Marbles from London—so far, entirely without success. This has not stopped the Greek government from building special display cases in the Parthenon Museum that sit empty, awaiting the return of the artifacts that may never come home. Despite the controversy, the British Museum rationalizes Elgin’s decision to take the marbles as prudent given the possibility of their being damaged through vandalism, arson, or natural erosion (the building had been destroyed in the 17th century when a gunpowder magazine exploded), and they argue that he was entirely within his legal rights to do so because he acquired permission from the Turkish rulers. This remains a controversial issue. In 2014, UNESCO offered to mediate between the two sides, but the British Museum declined on the technicality that they were an institution, not a government.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/20/bringing-home-benin-bronzes-nigeria-open-loans-rather-permanent/. Nigeria has been requesting the return of the Benin Bronzes literally since it became an independent nation-state in 1960. Recently, the Nigerian government has shifted strategies and now has declared that it is open to a solution based around temporary lending of the Bronzes.

I say “supposedly” here because some experts believe that the pair managed to acquire a pirated version of the museum’s own digitized scan of the bust, rather than completing the scan themselves on the sly. In either case, the data they acquired allowed them to produce an accurate replica.
For example, both Lynn H. Nicholas’s book The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe’s Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War (1995) and the eponymous film adaptation from 2006 delve into the subject of how museums have struggled with the issue of disposing of artwork procured from Nazi looters from victims of the Holocaust. | <urn:uuid:d28aa1c6-e2aa-4ca8-afe7-0fb91a4f078e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://erstwhileblog.com/2019/02/20/genteel-spoliation-decolonization-at-the-museum-and-marvels-black-panther/ | 2020-09-24T14:16:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.955884 | 4,932 |

Thank you Daniela Torsh for elaborating on the Familianten laws and the
Unehrlich births. I am, however, still puzzled by the fact that in four
instances where a birth has been marked as Unehrlich, ditto marks (") have been
entered in the Father column, these marks appearing directly beneath entries
registering children born to my Great-Great-Grandfather Salomon Z Aufrichtig
and his wife Julie [Jachet] Lokschan Aufrichtig. These ditto marks appear to
imply that Salomon was the father of the Unehrlich child.
Other checks I performed on ditto marks used in the Pathen column reveal
that they seem to be using them in the appropriate fashion - i.e. indicating
a repeat of the information in the line above. On that basis, do I now have
to consider the possibility that G-G-Grandad Salomon fathered 13 children
and not 9?

A few of the hundred-plus alleged scammers involved in a massive fake-credit-card ring are led into Queens court. Amar Singh was sentenced today after pleading guilty for his role in one of the largest ID theft and credit card scams in US history. A cast of unsavory characters from Queens was busted for allegedly manufacturing thousands of bogus credit cards and using them on massive shopping sprees and luxury vacations. The two-year investigation ended this week, as authorities smashed several fraud rings and arrested people most of them Guyanese around the borough, according to court records and sources. Singh allegedly received blank credit cards and account numbers from his contacts and had a whole crew of henchmen to help cash in with the phony plastic. To complete the ruse, the crew allegedly forged identity cards.

File American law enforcement officials escorting alleged lotto scammer year-old Damion Barrett of Norwood, St James out of the island recently. Barrett is the first Jamaican to be extradited to the US to answer charges related to the lottery scam. More and more Americans are starting to label Jamaicans as ‘a bunch of scammers’ and are refusing to accept calls from numbers which begin with the area code. The impact of the scammers label hit home painfully last week when The Sunday Gleaner attempted to contact Kent Coarsey, president and executive director of the Children’s Alliance of Hawaii, in that American state.
Five further attempts to reach Coarsey resulted in the phone either going unanswered or the line being open and the call terminated without a word being said. On the sixth attempt, the line was left open just enough for our reporter to explain in detail the reason for the call. But Coarsey was still very sceptical as he declared that he “would not be sending any money to Jamaica”. Only after a request that he should conduct an Internet search on The Gleaner and the reporter did Coarsey engage in a conversation, although it was obvious that he maintained his guard.
It was not until the interview was well under way that Coarsey relaxed and apologised profusely for his initial reaction.

A Wisconsin Lyme literate doctor who is part of an ILADS provider group with Disulfiram experience, has found that some patients with a genetic predisposition can have significant side effects when using Disulfiram.
Please have your health practitioner look at the dopamine SNP’s before beginning Disulfiram treatment. This LLMD also recommends:
- Disulfiram low and slow at 62.5 mg twice a week, increasing only as tolerated
Please share this far and wide as I do not want another patient to go through the hell I’ve been through.
If you have not read about my experience with Disulfiram psychosis, please see: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/10/14/november-2019-lyme-support-meeting-oct-meeting-canceled-due-to-reaction-to-disulfiram/
My symptoms were:
- Converging vision (eyes seemingly want to cross, kind of like when you are up at 2 a.m. studying for a Biomechanics final.
- Inability to orgasm (sorry if this is TMI, but since this is a matter of life and death I felt the need to throw it out there)
- Bloating (belching, passing gas, and distended stomach)
If I would have been warned of these issues I perhaps could have avoided two ER visits and a week long stay at the UW Hospital. My total tab is estimated to be potentially more than 20K, so please spread the word to anyone on Disulfiram or considering it.
For doctors reading this, the titration is as follows:
- 250mg MWF for 3 weeks, then
- 250 daily for 3 weeks, then
- 500mg MWF,
- 250mg T, TH, SAT, SUN for 3 weeks, then
- 500mg daily for approximately 3 months with individual variation. The goal is to be symptom free
Others are titrating even more slowly; however, I assure you my issues with the drug had nothing to do with titration or anything I did. My husband was on the exact same protocol and was fine. I truly believe this is a dopamine issue and a toxic reaction to disulfiram.
I’ve been alerted that this has happened to others as well.
For research on psychosis induced by disulfiram: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5290718/
In this paper, a hypothesis of vulnerability to disulfiram psychosis is proposed, based on the current lines of evidence for the biological mechanisms involved in the psychoses.
Disulfiram Is a DA Agonist
Disulfiram is an inhibitor of dopamine-beta- hydroxylase (DBH), an enzyme that catalyzes themetabolism of DA to norepinephrine (NE).3 By inhibiting the metabolic pathway from DA to NE in the central nervous system, disulfiram results in an increase of DA concentrations. Therefore, disulfiram is a DA agonist, and is likely to exacerbate preexisting or latent psychosis, similar to amphetamine, methylphenidate and L-dopa.
Increased brain DA is highly correlated with psychomotor activity in animals, and L-dopa has been shown to produce episodes of hypo maniaand mania in most patients with bipolar affective psychosis.4 It is possible,therefore,that disulfiram can uncover a preexisting or latent hypomania or mania.
Also, please see this update: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/10/27/disulfiram-psychosis-update-2/ | <urn:uuid:14f1435f-3ac6-43ca-9654-49392fbec031> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/10/15/disulfiram-psychosis-update/ | 2020-09-24T16:21:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.924048 | 794 |

Nothing says cold weather like a steaming bowl of chili. The spicy aroma of a bubbling pot of chili just reminds me of frost on the ground and a cold, crisp winter day. Oh yeah, and it makes my stomach growl. Since the weather is starting to get a little colder, how about making up a big batch of this paleo elk chili to warm you up from the inside out?
We used ground elk and sausage to give this chili a meaty disposition and let it cook all day in our crockpot so all the flavors could slowly melt together. We had the ground elk on hand but you could substitute ground beef or bison if you don’t have any elk meat.
This chili is so easy to make, just toss all of the ingredients in the crockpot and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It seriously takes only about 5 minutes to put everything together and comes out tasting like you slaved over a boiling pot for hours.
You could get creative with the toppings and add some chopped onions, avocado, olives, or tomatoes if you want. Or you could keep it simple and just scoop it up and eat it as is.
If you do try out this recipe, we’d love to know what you think so make sure you leave a comment below or add in your rating. Also, take a picture and tag it on Instagram #realsimplegood so we can check it out!

When, where and how much to share are big issues when it comes to social media, especially now that geolocation and search have gone social. But the panelists at a Social Media Week event on Tuesday night agreed that the rewards of connecting online far outweigh the potential for sharing too much information.
“We communicate with ten times as many people as our parents did,” said Brett Martin, founder and CEO of the mobile app company Sonar, and the number of loose connections people are able to maintain over great distances and long periods of time have increased the need for relevance in social search.
People can already find their friends in the real world with check-in sites like Foursquare, but in the future geosocial technology will connect people who might not know each other well by proximity, interests, and expertise. Information pulled from Twitter feeds and other publicly available data will be used to assess why two people who are standing in line at the same check-out stand might want to turn around and say hello. “We’re not connecting strangers,” said Martin. “Building relevance is part of reducing that creepy factor.”
In its brief history, social networking has led to some remarkable connections, like the hundreds of sperm donor babies who have found their half siblings through the Donor Sibling Registry and other networking sites. In this case, a geosocial tool might come in handy for people who worry they might be related to someone they’re interested in dating.
In less extreme cases, geosocial dating could be a mixed bag. TechCrunch writer Jason Kincaid, who moderated the panel, said that although he was currently looking for love on OKCupid, he preferred screening his potential dates online to meeting them serendipitously in the real world. But proximity is an important part of casual dating, and sometimes it’s helpful to know which dates are a couple blocks away rather than all the way across town.
Geosocial searches also have more practical uses. Martin described a scenario where someone’s car has broken down and, through the miracle of technology, was able to locate a friend nearby who could fix it for free.
This is also where the fun factor breaks down. The friend in the aforementioned scenario might not have time to jump start the car. Once someone has been established as an expert in something like medicine or car repair, they might be hounded by others for help at inconvenient times. And while it could be fun to run into a friend at a rock concert, no one wants to know what they have in common with other people in the waiting room at the free clinic. On the contrary, said Martin, “People are self-policing about that.” They likely won’t harass each other online “for the same reason people don’t harass you in bars.”
Online networking is fraught with lapses in judgment, but in person, social data can help with lapses in memory. For example, it’s normal to wear a name tag to a networking event, but not to a barbecue or a pool party. Being able to scan for an acquaintance’s name before you have to ask for a reminder could nip an awkward moment in the bud.
And now that social media has such varied and interesting business models, there are ways for people to benefit even when companies inevitably sell out their data to marketers. In Las Vegas, for example, some hotels will upgrade your room based on your Klout score, which usually only happens when you start winning at poker.
Stephan Weitz, the senior director of search at Microsoft, described how wonderfully democratic the Internet can be for people from all walks of life, like the janitor for the LAUSD public schools who happens to have one of the most influential followings on consumer electronics. “As online comes offline,” he said, “you’re going to see a lot more of that democratization.”

How To Choose An Engagement Ring Your Partner Will Love
Researching and choosing an engagement ring can be an overwhelming task, especially since you mostly have only yourself, and a select few family and friends to count on to get it right!
But not to fear, we’re here to help demystify the process, and make it easier for you to pick the perfect ring for your perfect person.
Set a Budget
The first and foremost point to consider, is what kind of budget you are allocating to buying your partners engagement ring.
There are a a few differing theories when it comes to how much a person should spend – Some say you should spend one or even three months salary on the ring, while others say you should spend what you can.
There is however, a bit of a science to arrving at a decision. For example, someone earning $30,000 a year might spend $1500 on a ring, while someone earning $60,000 could spend $2500. A high earner making around $300,000 might spend $8000 on a ring, and so on. This way, all of their partners will end up with beautiful rings that support their salary brackets.
We believe that you should spend within your means, taking into consideration that there should be enough left in your bank to enjoy the other beautiful things in life as well!
Decode Your Partner’s Style
The next point we’re going to cover, is your partner’s personal style. You want to be sure that the ring is a design she likes, so, try to determine her favorite style of jewelry through her current pieces.
If she doesn’t wear a lot of jewelry, you might have to get creative. Ask her family and friends about what they think she likes, or perhaps have them try to get some information out of her with a casual conversation. You might also find out a lot about her sense of style through the clothes she wears. For example, is she classically elegant or more trendy? If she is more into classical style, she might love a vintage inspired ring. Alternatively, if she follows high fashion, she might prefer a trending design like a halo or 3-stone engagement ring.
The most important thing to be sure of is that, when you put the ring on your partner’s finger, it’ll be a perfect fit, both literally and taste-wise!
Gemstone Decisions – Diamonds vs Colored Stones
Given how personalized engagement rings are, there is not necessarily any right or wrong answer for which route you should take when choosing the stones for your ring.
You essentially have two choices to pick from. These are:
- Colored Gemstones
Knowing the right way to go isn’t always easy, especially if you don’t have your partner’s input. But, to give you more of an idea, ask yourself this: Is my partner more traditional, or unique?
For Traditional Engagement Rings: Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend!
If you decide that tradition is the way to go, you can focus your search on Diamonds. They have been the accepted stones for engagement rings since the Renaissance, and are hugely popular not only for their tradition, but because they also manage to be completely contemporary at the same time.
To learn more about diamonds, take a look at our informative but easy-to-follow diamond guide.
Diamond Guide – How To Choose The Right One
When choosing an engagement ring, you must always pay close attention to the quality of the diamond. By knowing what to look for, you can get a beautiful diamond whilst also staying within your budget.
You can eduate youself on the 4 C’s that determine diamond quality, by reading our blog – Grading system, the 4C’s.
For a Distinctive Engagement Ring: Play With Color!
Colored gemstones certainly break away from traditional diamonds, which is why a lot of couples choose these for their engagement bands. Placing a different colored stone on an engagement ring makes it very eye catching and gives the engagement a much more modern, and possibly less formal, feel.
But, just because colored gemstones are less traditional doesn’t mean that they are completely without significance. Many couples choose to represent their engagement by placing birthstones on their engagement rings. You can read up on this at our birthstone guide here.
A couple might, for example, choose to place each other’s birthstones on a two-stone engagement ring, like the Eugene.
To read more on the meaning and trends of colored Gemstones, and what to look for in gemstone quality, read our Gemstone Guide here.
Stone Cuts / Shapes
Listed below are all the available stone cuts for engagement rings –
When it comes to choosing the right shape for your partner’s engagement ring, it comes down to a few deciding factors. You can read more about it at our article on Gemstone Shapes.
When picking an engagement ring style your options are as below:
Read our insights into the different styles below, to help you with the decision process –
Featuring a precious metal band with a single gemstone mounted on it, Solitaire engagement rings are the most traditional due to their classic, timeless style.
Halo rings are similar to solitaire rings in that they have a central gemstone. But, these rings have smaller gemstones surrounding the central stone, making it appear to have a ‘halo’ of light. This style makes your diamond appear bigger, so we especially recommend it for smaller stones (< 0.75 carats).
Vintage-inspired engagement rings use designs that reference classical periods of jewelry. They often feature very intricate, ornate detailing.
These engagement rings feature three mounted gemstones which often differ yet are sometimes identical. Many people use the stones to represent aspects of their union.
While your options for ring styles and settings are numerous read our Style guide to ring setting options here – for detailed information on the most popular choices for engagement rings.
Personalities that love classic elegance will likely gravitate towards traditional metals such as Platinum, yellow or white gold, while personalities that veer away from the norm will prefer choices like black or rose gold.
There is also the issue of durability that we need to consider.
To give you more insight into what this means, you can read here to make an educated decision.
Probably the most challenging piece of the puzzle to tackle, without giving away your intentions! The easiest way to approach this would be by measuring your partners current jewelry. However, if they don’t typically wear many rings, you will have to resort to other methods.
Your best chances would be to try and get a friend of theirs to have them try on a ring for fun, ot even have them go into a jewelry store just to browse.
Before starting on this mission though, check out our helpful ring size guide for a better understanding of ring sizes.
Engraving adds a personal touch to the engagement ring you choose, and it will always go down well with your partner. A few ideas for engraving could be –
- Important dates
- Song lyrics
- Using symbols like a heart or the infinity sign
The ribbon that ties everything together, the story of your proposal is one that will be told to your kids, and their kids, and so on!
How do you achieve this? By keeping a few basic rules in mind when deciding how to finally pop the question –
- Sometimes, less is more – the actual action of your proposal is more impotant than the activities that surround it.
- Being thoughtful goes far – planning your proposal around places or things that hold a special place in your partners heart, will make the ocassion even more memorable.
- Keep the memory alive – Don’t forget to have a friend or family member close by, recording the entire event for posterity.
While the best way to clean any piece of jewelry is with a professional jeweler, should you choose to clean your ring at home as a temporary solution, read more here on how to go about it. | <urn:uuid:6d98be4a-8af3-47a0-b846-7e3491fe213a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://tacariweddings.com/how-to-choose-an-engagement-ring-your-partner-will-love/ | 2020-09-24T15:38:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.939508 | 1,698 |

Today the landscape changed for me. I left from George square in Glasgow at 8. My guide’s name was George. He was funny and entertaining all day. He had a song to go with every battle and every situation he talked about. He even played some Proclaimers, a Scottish group, known for the song “I’m gonna be (500 miles)” popular in the U.S. in the 90s. We climbed through the Monroe mountains first, stopping at Loch Lomon, named for the nearest peak, Ben Lomond (ben means mountain). This is really beautiful lake just north of Glasgow. Then we headed up to Glencoe, where the English, led by a Scottish Campbell, killed 300 villagers when there clan chief was two days late to sign a treaty. The English killed the men, women, and children while they were sleeping in their beds; most came from the clan MacDonald. The mountains in this area are also known for a less gruesome thing; they were used as the backdrop for many of the Harry Potter movies, including the location of Hagrid’s house in The Prisoner of Azkaban. After Glencoe we stopped in Ft. Williams which has a commandos memorial from after WWI. It has since been dedicated to all Scottish soldiers who have lost their lives in conflict, including Iraq and Afghanistan. Then we went monster hunting on Loch Ness. The loch is 22 miles long, 1/2 mile wide and at its deepest, 800 feet. We took a one hour cruise. And while I didn’t see Nessie, I did even the gorgeous views. All along the way we learned about clan struggles, the Scottish skirmishes against the English for independence, and even the faeries. I think I am going to have to watch Rob Roy some time. I will be out of internet range for the next few days, while I make an excursion to the Isle of Skye in the north. Then that will be my last post when I get back, because then I will be headed home.

The US Special Operations Command(US SOCOM) issued a solicitation for the procurement of SOF Combat Assault Rifles (SCAR)on October 15th, 2003. This solicitation requested a new combat rifle, specially tailored for the current and proposed future needs of the US Special Forces, which are somewhat different from then current US Army requirements, which were being fulfilled (unsuccessfully) by the newest Heckler-Koch XM8 assault rifle. The key difference in basic requirements between XM8 and SCAR was that, while XM8 was a single-caliber weapon system, tailored for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, the SCAR would be available in various different calibers. Initial SOF requirements included two basic versions of SCAR system - the SCAR Light (SCAR-L), available in 5.56mm NATO, and the SCAR heavy (SCAR-H), which should be initially available in significantly more powerful 7.62x51 NATO chambering, and should be easily adaptable in the field to other chamberings (this still is not the case).The key idea of SCAR rifle system is that it will provide the Special Forces operators with wide variety of options, from short-barreled 5.56mm SCAR-L CQC variation, tailored for urban close combat, and up to long range 7.62x51 SCAR-H Sniper variant. Both SCAR-L and SCAR-H are available in three basic versions, Standard(S), Close Quarters Combat (CQC) and Long Barrel (LB). All these variants, regardless the caliber and exact configuration, will provide the operator with the same controls layout, same handling and maintenance procedures, and same optional equipment, such as sights,scopes, andother current and future attachments.
Cybergun is one of the manufacturers out there with the most liceses for making licensed airsoft replicas that suits a variety of markets. This time Cybergun have introduced us the FN SCAR-Heavy (SCAR-H), which is the .308/ 7.62 NATO twin to the SCAR-Light (SCAR-L), not only it has the most correct dimensions and markings, it is also made in the gas blowback format that gives you the extra realism and kick when you pull the trigger.
prviously in two tone tan color now in the all new black colour scheme, the upper receiver is made in metal with a anodized finish and paired with a weight lightening polymer lower receiver. Inside is a gas blowback system that gives a better kick than the other SCAR-H GBBs out there in the market. .
The upper receiver features a 13 inch carbine length barrel with the AAC type flash hider and have rails on all 4 sides, that gives great flexibility to fulfill with mission requirements, no matter it's laser designators, flashlights, fore grips, backup sights you will find enough space to fit them all on if required so. Hop up adjustment is located behind the lower rail, adjustable with flat head screw drivers. Charging handle is reciprocating, and could be changed to either side tailored to user's preference. Iron sights are flip up 600m type with windage and elevation adjustments. .
In the lower receiver features a pistol grip that is interchangeable with other M4 GBB grips in the market. The lower receiver also have ambidextrous magazine release and ambidextrous fire selector with the bolt release on the left. The buttstock is the most iconic feature of the SCAR series that is foldable, 6 position retractable and have an adjustable cheekrest. .
With the strong kick, reliable gas system and the SCAR platform makes this gun both fun and deadly as a DMR platform. Just get an AAC silencer and you are totally Ghost Recon ready (silencers are not included!). | <urn:uuid:8fb2d41e-81dd-4df1-b9a0-1c6b54139fad> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bangbang.com.hk/products/cybergun-fn-scar-h-gbbr-black-by-vfc | 2020-09-24T15:22:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.929527 | 814 |
Author(s): Anne de Courcy
From the author of the critically acclaimed biographies Diana Mosley and The Viceroy's Daughters comes a fascinating, hugely entertaining account of the Victorian women who traveled halfway around the world on the hunt for a husband.
By the late nineteenth century, Britain's colonial reign seemed to know no limit—and India was the sparkling jewel in the Imperial crown. Many of Her Majesty's best and brightest young men departed for the Raj to make their careers, and their fortunes, as bureaucrats, soldiers, and businessmen. But in their wake they left behind countless young ladies who, suddenly bereft of eligible bachelors, found themselves facing an uncertain future.
With nothing to lose and everything to gain, some of these women decided to follow suit and abandon their native Britain for India's exotic glamor and—with men outnumbering women by roughly four to one in the Raj—the best chance they had at finding a man.
Drawing on a wealth of firsthand sources, including unpublished memoirs, letters, photographs, and diaries, Anne de Courcy brings the incredible world of "the Fishing Fleet," as these women were known, to life. In these sparkling pages, she describes the glittering whirlwind of dances, parties, amateur theatricals, picnics, tennis tournaments, cinemas, tiger shoots, and palatial banquets that awaited in the Raj, all geared toward the prospect of romance. Most of the girls were away from home for the first time, and they plunged headlong into the heady dazzle of expatriate social life; marriages were frequent.
However, after the honeymoon many women were confronted with a reality that was far from the fairy tale they'd been chasing. With her signature diligence and sensitivity, de Courcy looks beyond the allure of the Raj to tell the real stories of these marriages built on convenience and unwieldy expectations. Wives were whisked away to distant outposts with few other Europeans for company. Transplanted to isolated plantations and remote towns, they endured heat, boredom, discomfort, illness, and motherhood removed from familiar comforts—a far cry from the magical world they were promised upon arrival.
Rich with drama and color, The Fishing Fleet is a sumptuous, utterly compelling real-life saga of adventure, romance, and heartbreak in the heyday of the British Empire.
Anne de Courcy has written eleven books, including Diana Mosley: Mitford Beauty, British Fascist, Hitler's Angel; Debs at War; and The Viceroy's Daughters. She lives in London and Gloucestershire. | <urn:uuid:138f3c8b-d2af-4d2f-8316-afccad529442> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bookgrocer.com/p/history-the-fishing-fleet-husband-hunting-in-the-raj--23 | 2020-09-24T13:57:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.960466 | 540 |
Pediatric dentist or family dentist for kids? Which one should you choose?
At Cigno Family Dental Milwaukee / Greenfield, we are a family dental practice and can meet the pediatric dental care needs of every child or adult in your family.
While there are some dentists who specialize exclusively in children – called pediatric dentists – at Cigno Family Dental, we love to treat every family member of your family of every age!
We love your kids and we love mom and dad! Really, whether you choose a family dentist in Milwaukee or pediatric dentist is really up to you!
The main thing is to find a dentist who can make your child or children feel comfortable and who can make you feel comfortable as well. Don’t ever feel bad about “interviewing” dentists either!
Your kids are important to you and any good Milwaukee dental office you consider for your kids should be ready and willing to answer all your questions kindly, considerately, and patiently.
A good test for choosing a local dentist for children – whether that ends up being a Milwaukee pediatric dentist or Milwaukee family dentist – is to ask at what age they feel they should start seeing your kids?
A lot of people wonder when they should first take their kids to the family dentist? That’s one of the big questions any dentist who does pediatric dentistry hears a lot! And the answer may surprise you!
Age 1 – The pediatric dentist or family dental visit they won’t remember but will likely never forget
A child’s first dental appointment should be after they get their first tooth, but no later than when he / she turns one. This surprises some parents but it is the current recommendation.
Kids are getting cavities earlier now and are getting more at those earlier ages than kids in the past. To help proactively challenge this, experts are saying the first visit needs to be this early.
While this won’t be a full visit, it will help the dentist become familiar with your child and vice-versa!
It will also allow the dentist to get a head-start on identifying some potential issues and possibly, help prevent them with a specific treatment plan.
According to the Colgate pediatric dental webpage, here are some things that are pretty standard for this visit across pediatric dental and family dental practitioners:
- The dentist or hygienist will show how to clean your child's teeth and give you a chance to practice
- They will give specific advice about home care, including hygiene, diet and use of toothpaste and other fluorides
- They will let you know what to expect as your child gets older and more teeth come in within the coming months
- They will create an ongoing dental care plan for your child or children
To make the first “baby” dental visit go smoother, here are some tips:
- When possible, schedule the visit during non-peak times. This gives your pediatric dentist or family dentist more time to spend with you and your child and ensures that a busy office will not be overwhelming or upsetting to your baby
- If possible, leave other siblings with a sitter or bring another adult (or teen child) to babysit during the visit because the dentist and/or hygienist will want you in the room with baby and will likely want your participation and/or full attention
- In the case of a potential wait (even though we all try hard not to do that), bring hand toys and/or a snack for baby
- To increase comfort level, bring along one of your child’s favorite “security” items such as a blanket, stuffed toy, etc.
- Fill out forms in advance so you don’t have to balance writing with balancing baby
Perhaps the best piece of advice, however, is to just relax and breathe because baby will take his / her cues from you. If you are relaxed and at ease, your child will be as well! And this will set the tone for much smoother pediatric dental visits in the future.
We would love to see you – and your little one – at Cigno Family Dental Milwaukee!

Maidstone United’s 7-2 win against Hampton & Richmond Borough lifts them to second in the Ryman Premier League. They need a much bigger win in midweek, though, if they want to go any higher.
As it stands, if promoted, the Football Conference will not allow their modern 3G pitch even though it could stage FIFA internationals or UEFA Champions League matches.
Maidstone co-owner Oliver Ash has been invited to present his case to the board tomorrow, with members voting at an EGM 24 hours later.
A ‘yes’ would bring artificial surfaces to the doorstep of the Football League for the first time in more than 20 years. The trouble is that football people are just such stuck-in-the-muds when it comes to the subject.
England manager Roy Hodgson, a Maidstone old-boy, feels he cannot get involved in such a thorny political issue.
Hull manager Steve Bruce would rather fight out games on a quagmire than a 3G surface. “Every time,” he said emphatically after watching his Premier League stars squelch and slide their way to an FA Cup win over League Two Southend. Others, similarly, turned up their noses at artificial surfaces.
I have canvassed widely on this, but it was Gareth Southgate who best encapsulated the mood prevalent in English football.
Cash-strapped clubs can fund the installation costs through external venue-hire alone. You can run a whole academy on just one pitch. It is a perfect surface for kids to learn and develop new skills. Southgate knew all that already.
But if it came to a vote? “I’m really sorry,” he says with genuine embarrassment, “but the footballer inside me simply cannot allow me to say yes.”
I’m really sorry, but the footballer inside me simply cannot allow me to say yes
Mention “artificial surfaces” and everybody of a certain age thinks “plastic” pitches, bouncy balls, protective leggings and scraped elbows. The technology as it was 30 years ago.
QPR’s first surface was laid in 1981. The same year Spectrum produced the chunky ZX81 computer with 1kB of memory. Things have changed.
Modern pitches with six-times the depth of grass have been used at the very highest level in Italy and France. It is not just Russia, Iceland and Norway any more.
Even at home, the RFU claim that England’s green and pleasant land boasts more artificial rugby pitches than any other country in the world.
Meanwhile, five of the 11 games in the division Maidstone hope to move into were postponed due to waterlogged pitches on Saturday. The rest were mud-baths promoting little more than the kick-and-rush football which can destroy young talent.
Stones manager Jay Saunders, who also has a full-time role at the club’s academy, said: “It’s great to have the confidence in the pitch to be able to develop a passing game here. It is something that goes through the club – kids learn to play football the right way.”
Impressively, Maidstone nurtures 65 players at the Gallagher Stadium – a footballing hot-house that simply would not exist without that single 3G pitch.
By having an elite team at the pinnacle of the whole setup, it means that an impressive 1,953 fans at Saturday’s game all helped fund the project.
The “artificial turf” issue has only become so pressing because Maidstone’s on-field success – built with a better away record than home one, thus destroying another myth – may lead to back-to-back promotions.
Privately, the Football Conference remain nervous about allowing artificial turf further back into the game without any sort of lead from FA or the professional game.
So having name-checked Maidstone United at random in his opening address in September, perhaps the new FA chairman Greg Dyke should devote a little time looking into artificial roots while his commission is looking at the grass ones. | <urn:uuid:4e6e332d-d7fc-4466-b012-740fe47a7125> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/456185/Artificial-roots-are-a-stone-certainty-for-British-football-future | 2020-09-24T16:01:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.967887 | 864 |

China Southern Airlines recorded a modest 1.8% rise in its first quarter operating profit of CNY3.55 billion ($378 million).
Revenue for the three months to the end of March climbed 10.4% to CNY37.6 billion, while operating costs rose 11.8% to CNY34.7 billion.
The Guangzhou-based carrier’s attributable net profit increased 4.1% to CNY2.65 billion.
Its cash and cash equivalents at 31 March was CNY5.54 billion, down from the CNY6.19 billion posted at the same time last year. Net cash from operations rose from CNY4.52 billion to CNY5.09 billion, but that was offset by higher loan repayments.

The Write Foundation
Homeschool.com’s Product Reviews
The Write Foundation offers instruction for multiple writing levels as developed complete lesson plans which are perfect for homeschool students. Bible verse copy work is part of each lesson in the entry level and Christian scriptures are used throughout every level. The entry level focuses on improving sentence writing skills. Students then develop paragraph and essay writing skills beginning with basic organization, drilling the fundamentals of brainstorm, outline, rough draft, edit and final draft. The curriculum, written by a veteran home educator and tested extensively in individual and co-op settings, works for reluctant, average, and gifted writers in helping them develop and improve their sentence and essay writing skills.
The Write Foundation has 4 stages of curriculum available, and each level can be completed in 1 or 2 years –
- Entry Level:
Creating Sentences for ages 8 – 12 prepares students for formal paragraph writing by teaching students how to develop better sentences with basic grammar and figures of speech, while dealing with common writing errors such as when is a noun proper, misused homonyms, and apostrophe confusion. Each lesson uses writing activities and fun games, which develop and advance students’ creative writing abilities and other writing skills.
- Level 1:
Sentence to Paragraph for ages 10 – 14, focuses on using the writing process and structure for developing a basic paragraph.
- Level 2:
Paragraph Writing for ages 12 – 16, begins by reviewing the writing process and structure for a basic paragraph, transitioning into formal paragraph writing, and then introducing and writing a formal college level 5-paragraph essay.
- Level 3:
Essay Writing for ages 14 – 18, begins with 3 and 4-paragraph formal narrative writing, reviews and then develops the writing process and structure for formal college level essays, which are 5+ paragraphs, leading into step-by-step development of a formal research paper and ending with practicing timed essays. This is a high school level homeschool course. What I like about the various programs:
- They were developed by a homeschooler. The curriculum is a result of 8+ years of successfully teaching homeschooled students. It’s been modified and tweaked throughout the years – it’s ready for your family.
- The courses easily fit a variety of teaching settings. TWF can be used one-on-one or with more than one student of varying ages in a homeschool setting. It also works well with multiple students in a homeschool co-op setting.
- The courses equip the teacher with detailed lesson plans, grading specifics and other teaching tools for home and co-op settings. You have everything you need.
- The courses cover all of the basics, beginning with the writing process, how a student formulates a topic, develops supporting points, and more.
- Repetition of the basics reinforces the concepts until they are learned. I’m a fan of repetition, especially when first tackling a concept/skill.
- The basics are taught in a fun way – there are many games (the Entry level course includes a game in every lesson. In levels 1 – 3, there are several lessons with games in each level) and because of this, the repetition isn’t boring.
- The games work great for a co-op but can also be modified for a single student, and suggestions on how to do this are included. For instance, if there is a “race” among students to look up a word in the dictionary, the suggestion if teaching one student –
- Play against the clock, give 30 seconds to find the word.
- Have your student read the definition out loud.
- If correct, 1 point is scored
- Adjust the time limit to fit your student. You want to challenge them, not frustrate or bore them.
- Creativity is a big part of the lessons. For instance, word embellishment can be very fun!
- The lessons encourage brainstorming, a great skill to have.
- So far…creativity….brainstorming…FUN….what’s not to like?
- Plus, poetry is also included in the lessons. Poetry allows the creative juices to flow as students learn how to work with words to say things concisely and quite effectively while expressing their thoughts about a variety of topics.
- MindBender ® books from Critical Thinking are part of the Level 1-3 lessons! I LOVE MindBender® books! Personally, I use them for fun, and to keep my brain sharp.
- If you need help in determining the right level for your student, you can find free samples and a free online placement test with free evaluations at
- The courses are certainly affordable –
1 course: $75.00
2 courses: $67.50 each (10% OFF)
3 courses: $63.75 each (15% OFF)
4 or more: $60.00 each (20% OFF)
- purchase extra worksheets and bulk discounts are available too (great for a co-op setting)
- You can
- try the first two lessons of each level for free to see if you like a course. I always appreciate a “test-drive”.

As a care organisation that is committed to effectively responding to matters that may affect the safety and wellbeing of the people that use our service, we have found it necessary to implement some safety control measures.
The intended aim is not to create panic within the care community, but to act sensibly and with necessary precaution.
Some of the key control measures implemented in all our Langdale Care Homes are:
- Coronavirus: Public Information signage has been placed near the main entrance advising everyone of how one can help to contain the spread of any germs/viruses.
- Frequent hand washing (within set time periods) for all staff providing personal care
- Additional hours of cleaning and provisions to ensure all areas of the home are disinfected.
- Visiting only kept to ‘essential’. Any visitors that have ‘flu like’ symptoms MUST NOT come to the home and are advised to stay home, isolate themselves and call 111 for further advice.
- Any staff that have travelled abroad (to any country) and exhibit the symptoms listed below will need to remain at home, in isolation for a minimum period of 14 days. Depending on the situation after the minimum time period has elapsed, further medical evidence may be necessary before they are cleared to return to work.
- If any of our residents display any signs of cold or flu, they will be isolated within their rooms and advise sought from the local GP for the next steps to take. These steps will be taken in the best interest of all the residents, staff and visitors alike.
As defined by the World Health Organisation, COVID-19 (the current coronavirus epidemic) is a strain from a large family of viruses that had not been previously identified in humans.
Some of the common symptoms may include:
- Cough/Sore Throat
- Difficulty breathing
Whilst majority of the cases appear mild, some cases result in more severe symptoms, particularly in people with weakened immune systems, older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions, such as (but not limited to) diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease.
This information and further details regarding COVID-19 are widely available. Please ensure you source your information from reputable sources, such as the WHO, Gov.uk, NHS to name a few.
We would appreciate your co-operation and vigilance in this prevalent matter. | <urn:uuid:77dd2735-efb7-49bb-b845-6527316c4e31> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.langdalecarehomes.co.uk/covid-19-update-25-february-2020/ | 2020-09-24T15:15:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94929 | 486 |

Safe Aromatherapy use for babies and children
With guidance from a qualified practitioner essential oils and other aspects of aromatherapy can safely be used to treat many minor ailments in babies and children. However extra special care needs to be taken when treating young children, for reasons outlined below. Yes, essential oils are “natural” but they are also highly concentrated and have the potential to cause adverse reactions. There are other gentler aromatic options available which may be preferable for babies and young children. I would recommend consultation with a qualified aromatherapist for children who are under 12 months of age; have a diagnosed medical condition or are on medication.
Why do we need to be careful when using essential oils for babies & children?
1. Neonatal skin does not mature until 3 months of age so is more sensitive and permeable. We need to think carefully about what we apply to baby’s skin.
2. Due to their immature systems babies and young children are less capable of metabolizing substances and dealing with any adverse reactions.
3. Early bonding between babies and their parents is very important. This is facilitated when babies can recognise their parent’s “signature” scent. Other fragrances can hinder this process. This is especially important for mums and babies when establishing breastfeeding.
4. Consider why aromatherapy is being used. Is it really necessary? Use of essential oils is often best reserved for when there is a real therapeutic need, not simply to improve the aroma of a product.
Some general safety points when using essential oils
- Essential oils must be stored in dark bottles with a dripolator and kept out of reach of children, preferably in a cool, dry environment.
- Do not apply pure essential oils undiluted to the skin or take internally unless under supervision of a qualified clinical Aromatherapist/Aromatic Medicine Practitioner.
- Remember less is more! Don’t exceed the recommended dose (see dilutions below).
- Components of some essential oils are photosensitive, i.e. they make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Avoid putting these oils on the skin before sun exposure: Lemon, Bergamot, Lime, Grapefruit & Bitter Orange.
- When adding essential oils to the bath always blend in a dispersant before adding to the water. If you don’t have a dispersant you can add the essential oils to about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or unscented shower gel and then disperse into the water.
- It’s advisable to do a patch test on people with sensitive skin. If skin irritation occurs wipe area with vegetable oil then wash with soap and water to remove the essential oil.
- Vaporising/diffusing essential oils:
Don’t use continuously. General rule is to diffuse for the same time on and then same time off, eg. 30-60mins ‘on’ then 30-60mins ‘off’. Ensure good ventilation, especially with babies, children, asthmatics and pets.
Safety issues for babies and children
As well as the above safety measures consider the information below:
1. There’s no need to use essential oils on a daily basis on children unless indicated for health reasons.
2. Do not apply essential oils to or near a child’s face. Peppermint oil should not be applied near the face of children under 3 years of age. Care also needs to be taken when using eucalyptus essential oil. Constituents in these oils can slow breathing and cause neurological problems in some children. See table below for recommendations.
3. Always, always dilute before adding to water/bath, see above.
4. Only use essential oils you know are definitely safe for use in children. Low dilutions are necessary for young children, see recommendations below.
5. Base oils, infused oils and hydrosols can be a valuable alternative.
Cold pressed, vegetable, nut or seed oils are preferable for babies; for more information see my previous blog.
Infused oils are base oils infused with different herbs, for example calendula, arnica and hypericum. These oils have wonderful therapeutic benefits.
Hydrosols are a wonderful alternative for babies and young children. Hydrosols are floral waters or waters of distillation, usually a by-product of essential oil distillation.
Hydrosols contain approximately 0.05% concentration of aromatic molecules, compared to a 100% concentration in pure essential oils. This makes them a much safer option for children under 6 years of age. Consider using Lavender hydrosol for inflamed skin or to help settle; Tea tree or Rosalina hydrosol in the bath for cold and flu.
6. As mentioned above, consultation with a qualified aromatherapist is recommended for children who are under 12 months of age; have a diagnosed medical condition or are on medication.
Suggested concentrations for use of essential oils in massage and topical application:
- Premature infant: no essential oils
- Birth – 3 months: preferably no essential oils
- 3 – 6months: use essential oils only if absolutely necessary:
1 drop essential oil in 20mls of base oil
- 6 months – 2 years: 1 drop essential oil in 10 mls base oil
- 2– 5 years: 2-3 drops essential oil per 10 mls base oil
- 5-10 years: 3-4 drops essential oil per 10 mls base oil.
- 10+ years: 5-6 drops essential oil per 10 mls base oil.
NB: this is a guide only; concentrations also depend on the particular essential oil used, where you’re applying the oil and the frequency of application.
Some essential oils that are potentially irritant and should be avoided with babies and young children:

Our babies are precious and we need to assist them in transitioning into the big wide world. Aromatherapy can be a wonderful resource to support families during this journey. As a parent to two daughters I have grown to rely on my aromatic first aid kit for all sorts of childhood ailments over the years. However, I have also seen terrible misuse of essential oils with some unfortunate outcomes. Essential oils must always be used with great care, but especially so with babies and children. | <urn:uuid:d9d7a279-9392-461a-9fe0-c6ad216fc6cf> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mothernurture.net.au/safe-aromatherapy-babies-children/ | 2020-09-24T15:26:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.911417 | 1,457 |
Renfrewshire Council customers will benefit from services they help to develop and are delivered to meet their needs, through a new strategy approved today (Wednesday 8 November).
Councillors on the Finance, Resources and Customer Services Policy Board have backed the new five-year Customer Strategy 2017-2022.
Each year, customers get in touch with the Council three million times. Customers access a wide range of services from making council tax payments to applying for housing benefit, arranging a special bulk uplift or reporting flytipping.
The new strategy has been prepared following detailed customer insight research, which identified online access and speed of reply as the two most important features of any service.
Research also showed the Council website, email and phone are the most convenient contact methods, while those with a disability or requiring language support prefer to visit a contact centre in person.
Councillor Shaw, Convener of Renfrewshire Council’s Finance, Resources and Customer Services Policy Board said: “Our Customer Strategy rightly puts Renfrewshire customers at its heart and has been developed through detailed customer consultation.
“It is vital that we understand who our customers are, the challenges they face and the service they require, involving them in the design of services and learning from their feedback.
“We want to provide easily accessible, simple to follow services which provide a positive experience for all our customers from the first contact through to a successful resolution. At the same time, when we get things wrong, we will acknowledge this and work with customers to put things right again and refine our approach.”
The new strategy will continue to offer face-to-face and telephone contact, and will also make more services available online, developing a single sign-on process and web chat assistance as well as greater use of social media communications channels to contact the Council.
This builds on the success of the Council’s MyAccount platform, which enables online access to a range of services and has seen more than 26,000 customers register since its launch last March.
“More and more customers are looking to communicate, interact and access services through digital channels,” added Councillor Shaw. “MyAccount has proved very popular and we will extend this and adopt more innovative ways of working to ensure we deliver a truly digital service.
“We recognise that not all our customers are able to access services digitally and that’s why we are putting facilities in place like free publically available Wifi across our town centres and self-service customer service areas.
“And we know many people are not comfortable using online services so have invested in training our staff and equipping our community partners with the right skills to support and assist customers.
“Customers will benefit from a joined-up approach regardless of how they contact us and will still be able to contact us face-to-face and by telephone. Customer expectations are changing and a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work – we must tailor our services to meet our customers’ needs.” | <urn:uuid:1b0b9f14-4202-416c-aeab-4b21dab95d7c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.paisley.org.uk/2017/11/council-customers-at-heart-of-new-five-year-strategy/ | 2020-09-24T14:58:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.952329 | 631 |

Don Gaetz Believes the Gulf Coast Can Triumph
"But it’s not enough for Triumph and its private and public sector partners to produce thousands of new jobs if there aren’t thousands of Northwest Floridians qualified to fill them. That’s why Triumph is working with school districts and higher education institutions to reshape what is taught and how it’s taught in our schools. Triumph already is funding projects in six of our eight counties that will prepare 9,000 students to earn national industry certifications for the very jobs most needed in our region over the next decade." -Don Gaetz
The Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce was honored to support the University of West Florida in their appeal to Triumph to support their efforts to equip over 3,000 students to earn top-level certifications in cyber security and advanced manufacturing and supply chain logistics industry certifications. Through the Center for Cybersecurity, the Sea3D Additive Manufacturing Laboratory and the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering UWF proposes to produce a minimum of 3,220 industry certifications that would provide career pathways to high paying jobs across the region.

Department Of Labor Issues Final Ruling on Overtime
Conversations begin in the Florida House Regarding Teacher pay increases
Effective January 1, 2020, the minimum salary threshold established by the Department of Labor for overtime eligibility will be set at $684 per week / $35, 568 annually.
More information about the final rule is available here..
Florida House’s committee on preK-12 education budgeting has begun conversations around the Governor's proposed salary increase for teachers of $47,500 - a total price tag of $603 million, annually. The committee is moving forward with caution, as raising taxes does not seem to be a viable option, however, they are hopeful they can find the funds in existing budgets.

NATIONAL ECONOMIC PROGRESS CONTINUES, HOWEVER, CONCERNS ARE IN THE AIR
Recent Progress in the Economy:
- There were 2.3 million more workers in 2018 than 2017!
- Workers are earning higher wages with increases by 3.4% from 2017 to 2018.
- Poverty has declined by 0.5 percentage points to 11.8% which is 1.4 million fewer people in poverty.
- Economic growth driven by tax reform and recent efforts of the current administration to reduce regulatory burdens are having a positive effect.
Positive outcomes from these results:
- Workers are better able to support their families.
- There are more available jobs; however, there are still more jobs than people, so workforce remains a major concern.
Gaps in The Economy That Must be Addressed
“The first is a skills gap – too many people lack the skills or credentials they need to compete for 21st century jobs. The second is a people gap – too many businesses can’t find the workers they need, when and where they need them. Businesses must be part of the solution. No single entity has a greater stake in the strength of our talent pool than the business community. We have the ideas, the innovations, and the incentive to drive change and create solutions.”, said U.S. Chamber CEO Donohue at the Talent Forward event earlier this year.
- Solutions for the Skills Gap
- Improving education and mandating increased school accountability, more choices for families, and improved collaboration among key stakeholders.
- Ensuring the annual $400 billion dollars of taxpayer money being invested in higher education will result into credentials and a return on investment back into the economy.
- The business community must ensure that local education institutions teach in-demand skills by implementing similar programs such as the Foundation Talent Pipeline Management Initiative https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/talent-pipeline-management
- Better access to quality childcare, as it is the foundation for basic skills and ability.
- Solutions for People Gap
- The opioid epidemic is a large contributor to the decline in working-age men in the workforce. We need to support public and private sectors working to address the issue in addition to supporting good public policy.
but fair process for the millions of undocumented people living in the U.S. to have the opportunity to earn a legal status.” This includes the “Dreamers” who came to the U.S. as children and Temporary Protected Status recipients.
- We must have good policy to produce good results!
Signs of Policy Uncertainty Is Negatively Affecting the Economy
“Amid all the talk of a possible recession, it’s important for everyone to remember this: Economic expansions do not die of natural causes. They often die because of missteps and policy mistakes. And the biggest mistake our leaders could make right now — putting our economy at greater risk of a downturn — is to stoke further uncertainty We’re calling on our leaders to eliminate the uncertainty, rebuild business confidence and keep this economy working for all Americans.” U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Donohue writes.
- “When leaders make decisions that foster certainty, businesses invest, hire, grow and better drive the economy in a positive direction.”
- Examples of the Effect of Fostering Certainty
- Unemployment rate has reached a generational low
- Employee compensation has risen 3.4% in the first half of 2019
- Inflammation remains near record lows
- Consumer spending is strong, and retail sales have beat the calculated expectations for the first half of the year.
- Examples of the Negative Effect from Not Fostering Certainty
- Increased trade tensions and softening of global economy
“The business community shares the administration’s concern over China’s trade and industrial practices, and the U.S. Chamber strongly supports efforts to secure a deal that addresses forced technology transfer, industrial subsidies, data privacy and intellectual-property protection, and market access. The initial tariffs have brought China to the negotiating table, but the current path of constant escalation doesn’t increase the likelihood of a deal; it risks a recession here at home.” – U.S. Chamber of Commerce
- Business investment has experienced its first decline in three years
- Manufacturing sector has been in a downturn for nine months
- Famers’ income has plummeted
- Investors have begun to panic over “inverted yield curves” in the bond market and wild swings in the stock market – typically key indicators a recession is coming. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/08/14/recession-watch-what-is-an-inverted-yield-curve-why-does-it-matter/
The Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce Commitment
We know that neither growth nor a recession are guaranteed; however, both result from choices we make as a country. The Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce will be calling on our leaders to eliminate as much uncertainty in the economy’s future as possible by encouraging the introducing and supporting of logical tax reform and an increase in educational and workforce development resources. Together we can close these gaps and increase the business community’s confidence in the future, both near and long.

Storge is, in English at least, a rather inelegant word for a form of love that is really very beautiful. Storge closely resembles philia in that it is a love without physical attraction, but it is related primarily to kinship and familiarity. It is a natural form of love that often flows between members of a family (however that may be configured) or long-term friends. This kind of love is steady and sure. This kind of love is deeply satisfying, it is something to cherish but is it enough to make the world go around? Are there any other aspects of love that it misses if love is to be ‘all we need’? | <urn:uuid:4898ed41-85b4-451b-bab6-ef0b41c72165> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.resourcescentreonline.co.uk/forums/reply/62435/ | 2020-09-24T14:46:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.971177 | 139 |
Books are dangerous. Books mess with your head. Books fill children’s minds with subversive, warped and – to use a word we suspect Roald Dahl would loathe – ‘concerning’ ideas.
Don’t believe us? Consider Dahl’s The Witches, one of the most popular children’s books ever written. It’s sold umpteen million copies, and it’s now being developed as a new Hollywood film, with Robert Zemeckis directing and Anne Hathaway attached as the Grand High Witch, the most terrifying monster in the world (this will be the second film of The Witches; the first had a gloriously putrid Anjelica Huston).
This is how Dahl introduced the witches in his original novel: ‘As far as children are concerned, a REAL WITCH is easily the most dangerous of all the living creatures on earth. What makes her doubly dangerous is the fact that she doesn’t look dangerous… For all you know, a witch might be living next door to you right now. Or she might be the woman with the bright eyes who sat opposite you on the bus this morning…
‘She might even – and this will make you jump – she might even be your lovely school-teacher who is reading these words to you at this very moment. Look carefully at that teacher. Perhaps she is smiling at the absurdity of such a suggestion. Don’t let that put you off. It could be part of her cleverness.’
Talk about messing with your head.
Dahl was always a scary fellow. Two decades before he made kids around the world look twice at their smiling school-teachers, he made perhaps his first ever screen appearance, not on British TV but in America. It was on a 1961 series called Way Out. This was a short-lived, black-and-white series that screened in the slot before The Twilight Zone. Dahl was Way Out’s host, but rather than imitate the somber, serious Rod Serling, he adopted the persona of a playfully malevolent Brit; Alfred Hitchcock without the stomach.
In the first episode, Dahl appears in a studio, cigarette in hand. Behind him, his image is repeated by a TV camera to infinity, a video fun house.
“Now you may find that this particular play disturbs you just a tiny bit as it goes along,” Dahl purrs to the audience. “If it does, let me assure you that that’s nothing compared to what it did to me when I wrote it. I thought it was perfectly beastly… It is not for children; it is not for young lovers, either, or for people who have stomach difficulties. It is more perhaps for wicked old women who relish a juicy plot where all sorts of nasty things happen that they can wish upon their closest friends and their loving husbands…”
The story that follows is Dahl’s own ‘William And Mary’, where a dying man takes the chance to have his life prolonged by cutting-edge science. Unfortunately, the science really is cutting. All that remains of the man after the operation is his brain, alive and conscious, plus a single eyeball. At least Way Out’s viewers were spared the images in Dahl’s original prose, where the man’s amazed wife is introduced to her downsized hubby…
“He reminded her of nothing so much as an enormous picked walnut…” Dahl writes with relish. “The eye, bright as ever, stared back at her with a peculiar, fixed intensity.” The wife decides her new husband is adorable. “I just can’t wait to get him home.”
The Witches and ‘William And Mary’ are representative of the two public sides of Roald Dahl. One is the famous children’s writer who gave us Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, James And The Giant Peach, The BFG, Matilda and many other books and poems. Ah, those poems… How many kids who grew up on Dahl will think of Red Riding Hood as the story in which girl meets wolf, girl whips a pistol from her knickers, and girl shoots wolf dead? That’s how you tell a fairy tale.
The other Dahl is the one for grown-ups, associated with twisty, macabre short stories. They were collected in books like Tales Of The Unexpected, which also became the name of another TV series hosted by Dahl. Made in Britain in colour, it was a thousand times as successful as Way Out. The opening credits helped, with Bond-style images and a jovial, cosy-sinister earworm by Ron Grainer, who’d made Doctor Who sing.
Today, 30 years after he died, the ‘adult’ Dahl has been eclipsed by Dahl the beloved kids’ writer. “I think there’s no doubt that if you asked the average person today what Dahl was famous for, they’d say children’s fiction,” says Steve Gardam, director of the Roald Dahl Museum And Story Centre in Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire, where Dahl lived for the last 36 years of his life.
“With some older people, with a bit of prompting they might remember Tales Of The Unexpected…” Gardam says. “And there are people like me who graduated from Dahl’s children’s writing and went on to his adult fiction. However, the screen adaptations of the children’s stories have been on a Hollywood scale and consolidated the success of those books.
“But I hope the vitality of Dahl’s adult fiction isn’t forgotten,” he continues. “The first phase of his writing career was stories for adults, and this became the fuel for the children’s fiction that came after.” Asked what makes Dahl’s writing distinctive, Gardam points to its spark (a word Dahl did like). “I find his writing crackles with energy, with excitement! There’s a crispness to the phrasing of his prose, and his dialogue. I feel that energy through Dahl’s writing for all age-groups.”
Energy crackled from Dahl’s life. His memoirs, Boy And Going Solo, mix fact and fiction casually, but the truth is remarkable enough (the authorised biography of Dahl by Donald Sturrock is recommended, as is the unauthorised one by Jeremy Treglown). By the time he was 25, Dahl had left England, lived in Africa, enlisted as an air pilot when World War II broke out, survived a terrible crash landing which fractured his skull, and recovered to fight in deadly air battles. He was just getting started.
Before Dahl was 30, he’d become an attaché in Washington and started publishing his first stories. Most reflected his own experiences in the air, but he also wrote a fantastical story about gremlins: mischievous creatures that caused no end of mechanical trouble for harried fighter pilots. Dahl didn’t invent the gremlins, which were a long-standing RAF myth, but he certainly popularised them. The book introduced Dahl to Walt Disney, who nearly filmed The Gremlins, and to Hollywood society. Another fan was the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who invited Dahl to the White House.
The young Dahl could claim friendship with not just Disney and FDR, but with the starry likes of Noel Coward, Spencer Tracy and Ginger Rogers. As a handsome unattached man with a personality that could be politely called rakish, there are lurid stories of his sexual adventures. They must have impressed another of Dahl’s friends from that time, Ian Fleming. Dahl worked with the future creator of 007 for a spell in a branch of the British secret service.
When the war ended, Dahl returned to England and to something closer to normality. His writing career was impeded by a couple of disappointments, including his bleak first novel Some Time Never (see box-out). However, he sold more short stories, which moved away from his war experiences. These were stories of scams and high-stakes gambles, laced with the macabre humour that would be his signature.
His story ‘Man From The South,’ for instance, depicts a man who’s impressed by a youth’s cigarette lighter. He offers the boy a tempting wager, promising the stakes are nothing that the boy can’t afford. He’s true to his word. If the boy lights his lighter ten times in succession, then the man will give him a Cadillac. But if the lighter fails just once, the man has a butcher’s blade poised ready over the boy’s little finger…
It was these Dahl stories which first came to the screen, even before Way Out. ‘Man From The South’ was adapted as a 1960 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, with Peter Lorre coveting the pinky of a young Steve McQueen (decades later, Tarantino spoofed the story in his segment of Four Rooms). Hitchcock himself directed a TV version of ‘Lamb To The Slaughter,’ one of Dahl’s most famous tales, about an angry wife’s revenge.
Dahl would later explain his reasoning behind this particular tale. “There’s such a narrow line between the macabre and the laughter,” he said in 1984. “For example, if a woman who’s deeply in love with a man, and finds he’s been doing nasty things with some other woman, and crowns him with a blunt instrument and kills him, that’s tragedy.
“But if she happens to have a frozen leg of lamb in her hand and crowns him with that, then (the audience) begins to titter. And then, if she takes the frozen leg of lamb, puts it in the oven, cooks it and feeds it to the detectives who are looking for the murder weapon, that’s comic.”
Actress Patricia Neal, who was in The Day The Earth Stood Still before becoming Dahl’s first wife, claims the ‘leg of lamb’ idea was given to Dahl by his friend Ian Fleming. After Fleming died, Dahl would be the credited scriptwriter on one of the most iconic Bond films, You Only Live Twice. It was very different from Fleming’s source book, complete with a volcano base and Donald Pleasance’s cat-stroking. The validity of Dahl’s script credit was later contested by Harold Jack Bloom, who was credited with additional story material but claims he made up everything himself. Today, it’s impossible to know.
There’s even more fog over Dahl’s script credit on another Fleming adaptation, the 1968 musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, about a magic flying car. Dahl clashed bitterly with its director Ken Hughes, who again claimed he wrote it all himself… though Dahl’s biographer Donald Sturrock points out that the film’s most infamous character, the deeply disturbing Child Catcher, looks terribly like a Dahl creation (there’s no such character in Fleming’s book).
By Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Dahl was well established as a children’s writer. Although his first children’s story was the wartime ‘Gremlins’, his true breakthrough was James And The Giant Peach, published in 1961 to huge acclaim. Much of James is set in the air, aboard the title peach as it’s borne by seagulls on strings through a wondrous cloud-world. James was plainly informed by Dahl’s time as a fighter pilot, in the heavenly respites between battles, when he did not have to kill or be killed.
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory soon followed in 1964. The story of a little boy who wins a Golden Ticket to visit the magical factory cemented Dahl’s reputation as a children’s laureate. Actually, three of Dahl’s most beloved books – The BFG, The Witches and Matilda – wouldn’t be published till the Eighties, towards the end of his life. Their seeds, though, could be much earlier.
The BFG, for example, grew out of stories Dahl had told his kids, about a friendly giant who creates good dreams and blows them into the bedrooms of children. After telling his own children the stories, Dahl would sometimes get a ladder, climb up outside their window and stir the curtains for them to see, a dedicated dream maker.
The Big Friendly Giant is loveable, as are many of Dahl’s characters: the ebullient chocolate king Willy Wonka, the adorable insects in the giant peach, the indomitable Norwegian gran who’s a Van Helsing scourge for witches. But the witches (of The Witches) are terrifying, like the child-eating unfriendly giants in The BFG, and the ogre-ish Miss Trunchbull in Matilda.
“Dahl’s writing has sharp edges,” Gardam says. “For all the Wonka chocolate, his stories are not sugar-coated. But Dahl is always on the side of the child. Dahl is the guide, teaching them truths. The world can be a scary place but he’s showing them how to make their way through it. He explains things to children, whether it’s the signs to spot a witch, or why Mrs Twit in The Twits became truly ugly, because she thinks nasty thoughts. Crucially, he balances this with hope and love, as his child heroes ultimately find their own wonky happiness.”
Dahl often disliked how his characters were reworked in film adaptations. Although he had a script credit on 1971’s Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, a musical film of his Charlie book, he was incensed by the rewrites by an uncredited David Seltzer, who’d later write the Satanic The Omen. Maybe that explains the infamously terrifying riverboat scene in the film, where Gene Wilder’s Wonka takes a poem from Dahl’s book and screams it demonically at the audience.
Dahl disliked Wilder’s extraordinary performance as Wonka, finding it pretentious; he’d wanted Spike Milligan. He was even more scathing about the 1990 film of The Witches, calling it a “stupid horror film”. We can only guess what he would have thought of later screen interpretations, such as Johnny Depp’s Wonka in Tim Burton’s Charlie; Mara Wilson as Matilda in the 1996 film; or George Clooney’s fretful mid-life take on Fantastic Mr Fox in the 2009 film by Wes Anderson.
Gardam points to the fundamental challenge of translating a beloved book to a different medium. “It’s not that a film should precisely copy every detail of a book; success depends on whether the filmmakers’ vision aligns with the version of the book that’s in your own head.” Of course, it’s utterly subjective. Gardam points out how some of the Dahl film adaptations, such as Gene Wilder’s Wonka and the Matilda film, are now beloved in their own right by people who met them as children: “Some people will love them for the rest of their lives.”
But will Dahl himself stay beloved? Like James Bond and Ian Fleming, Dahl is often tagged as a relic, a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. He was a natural provocateur and often gloried in causing offence. To use a phrase of his, “explosions are exciting.” Heaven knows the Twitter storms he would have cause if he was alive today.
The charge sheet drawn up by Dahl’s critics is long, including his bullying, his boastfulness, his racism – the national stereotyping in some of his stories is outrageous, and Dahl was also charged with far uglier anti-semitism. As for misogyny, even the editor who worked with Dahl on The Witches worried about how a book about monstrous, child-murdering women who should be “rounded up and put in the meat-grinder” (Dahl’s words!) might be received. Dahl told him: “I am not as frightened of offending women as you are,” pointing out that the one heroic adult in the book is the witch-battling granny.
Dahl’s prosecutors might skip The Witches, though, and go straight to the most horrific story that Dahl ever wrote for adults. ‘The Last Act’ was published in Playboy magazine in 1966. It involves explicit sex, a horribly fragile woman, and a Bond-smooth male operator who plays his victim’s emotions with surgical cruelty (he’s a gynecologist).
The story has no overt violence, but reading it is like watching the ‘gaslighting’ segment in Lars Von Triers’ infamous The House That Jack Built. Indeed, Dahl’s story is about gaslighting too. Yet it’s horrible precisely because Dahl spends much of the story making you care for the woman character. Whatever Dahl was thinking when he wrote it (and his comments on the story are crude), ‘The Last Act’ could have been designed to make readers hate men.
And even the most horrific Dahl fiction, the kind that never gets adapted for the screen, can suddenly turn into magic. ‘The Swan’ is a harrowing story of boys bullying and terrorising another boy, with the real threat of murder, but it takes an amazing swing into fantasy in the last lines. Characteristically for Dahl, the denouement involves flying.
And Dahl’s legacy in the fantasy genre seems secure. Much of Harry Potter’s first pages, for example, read like pure Dahl. There’s the grotesquely coarse, boorish Dursley family, trapping helpless little Harry under the stairs. He’s in much the same plight as James toiling under his aunts Sponge and Spice, or Matilda in the power of Miss Trunchbull.
Then there’s Dahl’s Charlie sequel, Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator. Of his children’s books, it tends to be overlooked in retrospectives of his work, which is understandable. It’s structurally wonky and self-indulgent, and much less good than the original. But it’s also fascinating.
After all, it features a manic madman (Wonka) in a magic box (the Glass Elevator) that can go pretty much anywhere. Wonka accidentally ends up in orbit, where he confounds Earth authorities and fights monstrous space aliens – the blobby Vermicious Knids – with his loyal companion, Charlie. Sound a little familiar? Great Glass Elevator was published in 1972, well before the ‘manic’ version of Doctor Who was established by Tom Baker. And like a Time Lord, Dahl regenerates for each new generation. | <urn:uuid:413f5845-a743-465b-b71a-87566afb28a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.scifinow.co.uk/blog/flashback-roald-dahl/ | 2020-09-24T14:08:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.970101 | 4,034 |
With its fancy French name and beautiful appearance when fresh from the oven, a classic cherry clafoutis is bound to impress guests. Little do they know just how easy it is to make—just whip up a simple batter with egg, milk, sugar, and flour, then pour it onto some cherries and bake.
Why It Works
- Butter in the batter adds extra flavor and helps crisp the edges more.
- Optional kirsch (cherry brandy) enhances the fruit flavor.
- Balanced amounts of egg and sugar in the batter produce a clafoutis that's just sweet enough with a light texture that's not too eggy.
- Yield:Serves 6
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:1 hour 10 minutes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 ounces or 75 grams)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (about 1 1/4 ounces or 40 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
- 1 tablespoon kirsch (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (see note)
- 3/4 pound sweet cherries, pitted (see note)
- Powdered sugar, for serving
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk in milk, eggs, butter, kirsch (if using), and vanilla extract or seeds until a smooth batter forms.
Grease a baking dish, tart pan, or cast iron skillet (about 9 inches in diameter) with butter. Scatter cherries all over bottom. Pour batter on top and bake until clafoutis is puffed and browned and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly, the slice and serve, sprinkling powdered sugar on top. Serve with whipped cream, if desired. | <urn:uuid:eb0e13db-5001-446b-8f09-02dddda555ba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/06/cherry-clafoutis-french-dessert-recipe.html | 2020-09-24T14:51:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.822463 | 438 |

Georgia residents are enjoying the summer months, and as the old adage notes, “time flies.” Summer is a good time for having barbeques, reaping the fruits of labor from a garden or taking a much-needed vacation. For each of these activities, a little planning can go a long way, and help prevent unexpected problems. Trust preparation follows the same line of thinking.
Far from a grim plotting of one’s demise, trust preparation is more like a gift to the family and friends left behind. With some solid advice and a bit of planning, loved ones can be taken care of when the time comes. On the other hand, failing to make the proper arrangements can cause one’s assets to become a point of stress or contention for surviving loved ones after the estate holder’s death.
There are several options for trust preparation, and stipulations or contingencies can even be included to ensure that the estate assets are put to good use. While it may sound like an overwhelming process, help is available. With the right assistance, key preparations can be made to care for one’s family.
If a Georgia resident is interested in trust preparation, an experienced estate planning attorney can help. An attorney can discuss the available options with a client and review scenarios designed to prevent unnecessary stress to loved ones. Each estate is unique and requires a plan that accomplishes the goals of the estate holder while complying with applicable state and federal laws. | <urn:uuid:77001b26-0e21-451c-a81e-ab4781759303> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.teigerlaw.com/blog/2019/08/trust-preparation-are-your-affairs-in-order/ | 2020-09-24T14:36:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935149 | 300 |
Downing Street has accused Tory Remainers of “appalling dishonesty” for attempting to use the delay they secured to Brexit to now “cancel the referendum”.
In an extraordinary attack on Conservative MPs plotting to block an Oct 31 exit, aides to the Prime Minister said voters wanted politicians to “honour their promises” to respect the 2016 poll, and accused some of Boris Johnson’s MPs of “playing student politics with Jeremy Corbyn”.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that Stephen Barclay, the Brexit Secretary, has now signed the “commencement order” that will trigger the end of the supremacy of EU law in the UK on Hallowe’en, in a major moment on the path to the country’s exit.
In a separate attack on Mr Johnson’s predecessor, a Downing Street source said it was “surprising” and “alarming” that Theresa May had failed to initiate the signing of the order, which will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act on Oct 31.
The source said: “The public want politicians to honour their promises to respect the referendum – the biggest democratic exercise in British history. This is something the vast majority of the country support.
“People are totally fed up with watching people like Dominic Grieve, Guto Bebb and Caroline Spelman who promised to respect the referendum clearly abandoning their promises and behaving with appalling dishonesty – after doing everything they could to delay Brexit, they are now saying that the delay justifies cancelling the referendum. It does not.”
Mr Grieve, the former attorney general, who supports a second referendum, had insisted that MPs would be able to “reverse the order” if it was signed by Mr Johnson’s Government, putting the UK on course for a potential no-deal exit if no agreement is reached with the EU.
He was one of a series of Conservative rebels who helped to force Mrs May to seek extensions to the UK’s departure date in March and April.
His intervention was the latest in a war of words between Remainer MPs and the Government after The Telegraph revealed on Aug 4 that Dominic Cummings, Mr Johnson’s most senior aide, had said that the Prime Minister would deliver Brexit on Oct 31 even if Jeremy Corbyn and pro-Remain Conservatives succeed in triggering a general election.
This week, Mr Johnson will travel to Germany and France to insist to Emmanuel Macron, the French president, and Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, that Parliament cannot stop Brexit.
Mr Johnson is expected to tell them that they have two months to agree a deal acceptable to the Cabinet and Parliament, without which the UK will exit without an agreement on Hallowe’en
As he continues to unveil domestic policies on crime, health and education, he will also announce more Government support for hospices, following a Downing Street reception for hospice staff last week.
Several groups of Conservative MPs are now plotting ways to prevent a no-deal exit on Oct 31, and Downing Street has resolved to avoid bringing forward legislation that could be hijacked to prevent the UK’s departure.
However, The Telegraph understands that the MPs are drawing up lists of possible parliamentary devices to force Mr Johnson’s hand after the Commons returns from recess on Sept 3. Senior Tories opposed to a no-deal exit believe that they have found a mechanism to compel Mr Johnson to avoid a no-deal exit on Oct 31 if he fails to put a new agreement to MPs by a date set by the Commons.
The proposal is understood to go further than a Bill introduced by Yvette Cooper, the former Labour minister, and Sir Oliver Letwin, the senior Tory, which helped lead to Mrs May delaying Brexit rather than leaving without a deal in April.
But Downing Street sources said that Mrs May appeared to have put off signing the order to repeal the European Communities Act partly because some pro-Remain ministers “clearly hoped that Brexit would be delayed or the referendum cancelled”.
On Sunday, Penny Mordaunt, the pro-Brexit MP sacked as defence secretary following Mr Johnson’s arrival at No 10, said members of the last regime “made no deal more likely” by convincing European governments that “our attempts to leave were just theatre”.
Writing in The Telegraph, Ms Mordaunt claims that “good work done by the Civil Service to prepare for no deal”was “hidden from the public and key decision takers”.
Mr Grieve, along with two other senior Tories approached by Jeremy Corbyn, had agreed to meet the Labour leader to discuss proposals for him to take power for an interim period to delay Brexit and hold a second referendum.
Guto Bebb, a former defence minister, urged MPs to take Mr Corbyn’s proposals “seriously”.
A Downing Street source said: “People are ... appalled at the sight of some politicians playing student politics with Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister.
“Not even core Labour voters think Corbyn could provide the strong leadership we need. The public want this sorted, most of the country is horrified at the idea of a Corbyn government spending years more talking about second or third referendums with all the chaos this would bring.”
Under one outlandish proposal mooted by Tory MPs, rebel Tories would back a no-confidence motion brought by Mr Corbyn in order to install him or another MP as a temporary prime minister who would seek an extension from the EU.
Under the scheme, the Tory MPs would then drop their support for the temporary government once an extension had been sought and a no-deal exit averted, in order to trigger an election.
Following his initial response to Mr Corbyn, Mr Grieve signalled he would not be backing the Labour plan, instead saying he was open to working with like-minded MPs to prevent a “catastrophic” no deal.
This week a group led by Philip Hammond, the former chancellor, which includes his former cabinet colleagues David Gauke and Greg Clark, is due to meet for its own talks on averting a no-deal exit. | <urn:uuid:90a4843e-91a8-46f8-a3fa-a7b65d6da37a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/08/17/downing-street-slams-dishonest-tory-rebels/ | 2020-09-24T15:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400219221.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924132241-20200924162241-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.968564 | 1,267 |

Say Goodbye to Tension with Advanced Myofascial Release Therapy
When you imagine the connective tissue in your body, you can imagine it as a type of 3D web. Now, imagine that web becomes tangled, damaged, or hardened in some places. The entire system can be impacted by small issues in this tissue. Your whole body might be impacted.
These issues are exactly what advanced myofascial release is designed to relieve. By repairing and stimulating healing in the fascia, this therapy can improve your mobility and relax tension caused by damages in the soft tissue.
Healthy vs. Unhealthy Fascia
Fascia is a framework in the body that connects and protects your organs, muscles, and other body parts. It runs in “sheets” throughout your body.
Healthy fascia is mobile, elastic, and strong. It moves easily and effortlessly. This allows our bodies to move freely. Meanwhile, unhealthy fascia quickly loses motion and elasticity. If your fascia is damaged, you’ll likely feel stiffness, pain in the skin and muscles, joint issues, and possibly even nerve pain.
When fascia is healthy, the body’s fluids can move unconstricted. This includes blood and lymphatic fluid. When these fluids are able to flow freely, it prevents issues in other parts of the body, including the immune system.
How Does Fascia Become Damaged?
From a holistic perspective, damaged fascia can be devastating for the body. In many cases, the fascia will repair itself after a trauma or injury, but when healing doesn’t begin, many other issues can occur in the fascia itself or throughout the rest of the body.
Fascia can be damaged in many ways. Some common issues include:
- Overuse of muscles
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Poor diet, sleep, and hydration
Injuries can be particularly damaging because fascia damage in one part of the body will lead the system to compensate, changing the entire structure of the fascia in the body and potentially leading to damage in other parts of the fascia.
What Does an Advanced Myofascial Release Treatment Look Like?
Advanced myofascial release treatments aim to promote healing at the deepest possible level. An experienced practitioner can assess the fascia through a combination of a pre-treatment interview and a manual testing process. After he or she has determined where any trigger points for pain or tensions are and has a baseline for the condition of the fascia, the treatment will begin. Fascia is gently manipulated, with strict attention on areas where there are blockages, buildups, or damages.
How To Benefit from Advanced MFR
Get an Assessment
The connective tissue in the human body often acts as a storage point for trauma, pain, and emotional trauma. However, it’s often difficult to tell why or where we’re feeling pain when it’s trapped in our fascia. A skilled therapist can help you determine whether you can benefit from advanced fascial release.
If you suffer from recurring injuries, postural imbalances, joint issues, or have had a recent or previous trauma, advanced myofascial release can help you begin to heal.
Create a Treatment Plan
Advanced Myofascial Release treatments go a long way toward helping the body function at its absolute best. However, your treatment plan may need to include other modalities in addition to Advanced MFR to properly treat and prevent conditions and illnesses. Be sure to ask your therapist for a full treatment plan after an initial assessment.
Some conditions or injuries may require a different treatment route. Be sure to check with your family doctor or health care professional before booking your advanced myofascial release treatment.

Food Allergies During the Holidays

Food Allergy During the Holidays
Most would agree that one of the best things about celebrating any holiday or life event, such as Christmas, birthday and anniversary parties, aside from the socializing, is the food. There is often a large amount of food and drink choices at family or corporate parties and dinners, and unfortunately for those with a food allergy, the choices may also be dangerous if one is not vigilant about food safety.
Today, over 3% of Canadians are allergic to foods that can cause anaphylaxis, such as peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish and other fish. In some cases, exposure or consumption can be fatal. Peanut or tree nut allergies are most common in infants and young children, but adults are not immune and may experience a severe first-time reaction. Although specific allergens in foods vary, the symptoms are often similar to environmental allergies, although a food allergy is more likely to cause digestive disturbance.
Festive dining, especially food-tasting and sharing are expected activities in most families, with some foods aligned with religious holidays or traditions. Some do not understand food allergies and will pressure others to try “Aunt Ellen’s Pumpkin Nut Surprise” or another decadent delicacy while being unaware that some have food sensitivities. Parents may need to carefully review all home-prepared and store-bought foods to learn of any potentially harmful ingredients before kids help themselves at the dessert table.
What Can Be Done?
Although there may be increased anxiety for those with food allergies at holiday celebrations, one can still enjoy school, work and family gatherings by being consistent in your food allergy management program.
Involve all adults and children that may have a food allergy in food preparation so they understand where there may be “hidden” forms of allergens. People with allergy may need to be reminded during the holidays to not be shy about mentioning specific allergies to others, and to maintain extra diligence when snacking at parties.
Plan your food shopping with allergy needs in mind. You may spend less by avoiding “impulse purchases” and prepared foods that may not always accurately list all ingredients. Make your own meals and home baking to bring to a “pot-luck” dinner party or family event as you will have more control over what goes into the food.
Remember the advice of your physician or allergist. If s/he tells you that you are allergic to “traces” of your allergen then that means you have to be extra strict in avoiding even these minute amounts. E.g. If your allergen is peanuts, be sure any packaging or label clearly states if the product is manufactured in a totally peanut-free facility. In North America new labeling legislations requires allergy information to be on the packaging.
If any allergy is suspected see your physician for referral to be tested by an allergist or immunologist to identify all allergens. If an allergy is found, follow your doctor’s recommendations to avoid reactions. Lastly, even while out celebrating, remember to always carry prescribed medications with you to maintain your treatment program.

100 Happy Days – Day 14
Just about managing to get this done in time today. It’s been an odd day – the children are all full of cold and were very lack lustre, and I’ve been dancing around the edges of a migraine all day. I went to bed for three hours earlier this evening but it doesn’t seem to have shifted.
However, I still managed to find something to be happy about – I finally managed to start Plum’s blanket, and chose a square which didn’t require me to keep looking at a pattern, and so I could just get on with it. And so the first square is done. Hurrah! | <urn:uuid:c9607674-b511-436c-96eb-e4638c343bb1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.barefootblog.co.uk/2014/03/17/100-happy-days-day-14/ | 2020-09-25T21:53:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.982725 | 142 |

FREE DELIVERY WITHIN LATVIA
purchases over 28.00 €
After EDP Black Opium presented a year ago, the house of Yves Saint Laurent will introduce a new edition, Black Opium Eau de Toilette at the end of August 2015. The new version of the fragrance arrives in the same flacon form and the key note remains the same—coffee, which is this time combined with fresh, greener shades of flowers, tea and fruit. The perfume version of the fragrance highlights a blend of flowers and coffee, while the new version EDT accentuates the green character of coffee. BLACK OPIUM EAU DE TOILETTE starts with fruity notes of tart and refreshing black currant combined with pear zest, citruses and green mandarin bark. The heart incorporates the key ingredient—coffee, which becomes fresher with jasmine tea notes and luminous sweet orange blossom. It highlights sensuality with white musk and white wood which subtly support the flowers and fruit of the composition. | <urn:uuid:b39f36c8-54bd-4e16-9da7-65a05abd7020> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.parfumexpress.lv/duhi-parfum/Black-Opium-Eau-de-Toilette-Yves-Saint-LaurentWomen-50-ml-edt.html?lang=en | 2020-09-25T22:17:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.843146 | 230 |
Editors’ note: For the next few weeks we’ll be critiquing dates on “The Mormon Bachelor.” The folks at MoBach heavily moderate their comments so that everything involves sunshine and rainbows, and we think that is dumb. This is dating, people! Not all of it works or is positive, and we shall address it as such. Your comments and thoughts – uncensored and unedited – are welcome, as always.
Al: Tina has a huge knife, and she’s attending a prom of some sort. I’ve seen this movie, it didn’t end well.
Geoff: Seriously, she scares me.
A: I didn’t recognize you from you application video?
G: I wonder if this girl knows Aubrey or Erin. Otherwise, using their home for the date would be super awkward.
A: First time to California, something tells me this was a high point in the conversation.
G: You know we Californians love to show newbies the glories of our homeland.
G: This poor girl’s experience with California is forever tainted.
G: Is there anything in that salad other than spinach?
A: Firefighters are hot, she just scored major points. Back home is where? West Virginia?
G: Do you even listen to the videos? She’s from Richmond, VA. Female firefighters are never a good thing. That’s a man’s job. Wash my laundry and cook me some dinner, woman.
A: Meatloaf is identified by a Dr. Pepper commercial, my heart is sad.
G: That’s Rick’s signature tune. I’ve watched him sing all ten minutes of it at a karaoke bar. It was…passionate?
G: This date is super, super, SUPER awkward.
A: This is something straight out of Mormon Rap, “Girl we can go to a fireside”
G: “Moooormon. Mormon rap! Chicka chicka chicka Mormon rap!”
G: Nice “random” run-in with Aubs and Tall Guy.
A: What!? Did they forego the communal snuggie? I must know.
G: I think it’s clear that they did, mostly because this is one of the most uncomfortable dates I’ve ever seen.
G: I know I always blabber about the value of the recap videos, but I love Tina’s interview. “We had dinner, and then we got to know each other a little bit during dinner; and then we got to talk on the way to the fireside….”
G: That said, of all the stuff they talk about in their interviews, where were these on the date video? Frolicking in the surf? Singing “Happy Birthday”?
G: Simple rule of thumb: Firesides and/or church are out of bounds for first dates. You just don’t do it. Ever. It’s like taking a girl to a movie while having your spirituality judged.
A: That man is so pale.
G: I can’t believe Rick’s never been to Dana Point! I love Dana Point!
G: Oh sweet mercy. She is far and away the hottest Bachelorette thus far. I want to go to there.
G: “Works at a salon,” though, is not really my type. No offense.
A: Do you really leash up for paddling? People…
G: Dude, you can’t lose your board! Did you see the currents in that harbor?
G: Difficult thing here, though, is that Melissa is a single mom.
G: I’m loving this woman because she is extremely original. Classic free-spirited SoCal girl.
A: Somebody’s not getting any smooching tonight.
G: Tide pools! I love them!
A: Nevermind, Rick is in love, he tried seaweed to put him back in the running.
G: I can’t help it, but there have been a lot of “That’s what she said” moments here.
A: Then nothin.
G: Melissa is not easily wooed.
G: And some forced hugging/holding in the sunset to finish us off…
Al: Melissa for sure, paddle boarding is winner, and she seemed like a pro flirter, Rick is into that.
Geoff: I’d totally say Melissa based on personality and connection, but we can’t rule out the single mom factor. I appreciate Rick’s candor in his synopsis about the single mom thing being new to him, but I really wish that could have made it to the video. That’s an enormous part of Melissa’s life – arguably the biggest – and the videos made no mention of it. It’s really hard being a single mom in general, but especially in the Church. I appreciate the MoBach people letting a little diversity shine through in their selection for this date, but this was an opportunity lost when it came to highlighting an important issue and population segment within the Church.
That said, I have to pick Tina if it’s a matter of who can realistically go on to the next round. This is by no means a slam on Rick, but it takes a very particular man to be OK with the prospect of becoming a step-dad the moment he says “I do.” Not all dudes are OK with that; most aren’t. If Rick is, my hat goes off to him. | <urn:uuid:e95abb64-84a5-4e3d-b578-c3dcfc57e208> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.thisweekinmormons.com/2011/02/mobach-throwdown-10-tina-vs-melissa-mormon-bachelor/ | 2020-09-25T22:56:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.945015 | 1,217 |
Simple Bible Truth
Genuine Christian Truth
Simple Answers To Important Bible Questions
When You Want The Truth. True Followers of Christ
Simple Genuine Bible Truth. It shouldn’t be hard. When Jesus spoke it was simple, genuine, honest and plain truth. People heard genuine truth and developed genuine hope and genuine faith. The gospel accounts contain lots of plain stories that communicated genuine Bible truths in words that were easy to understand. They saw clearly how to worship God. They had faith in Christs love and that he would return in Kingdom Power to save mankind.
Jesus Showed A Different Way
The disciples took those simple genuine truths and shared them with people wherever they went. Truth has a quality that resonates with us. It builds real faith. We get to know God’s name and can build a close personal relationship with Jehovah. Genuine Bible truth makes us stop and think and realize that there is real hope for the future. When Bible truth touches lives it makes them better. We gain hope. Simple truth is not a money making exercise. When the truth found in the Bible touches your life you want to share it. Bible truth makes you happy.
You Are Loved By God
Knowing that God really cares for you personally takes away loneliness. The truth is simple and clear. Knowing that Jehovah loves you gives you a warm glow. Genuine Truth, Genuine Hope & Genuine Faith. This is spiritual food at the proper time. It is a gift from God. Elijah has arrived and the words are now available.

Hi everyone! Boy have we had a busy spring and summer. We attended our first Area Contest & Convention (AC&C) as official members of Area 3 of Harmony, Inc. This was new for us! Before, our chapter had been classified as a “geographically outlying chapter” in Harmony, Inc., but effective with this year’s membership renewals, we were welcomed into the Area 3 family and we qualified for International the good ole’ fashioned way–with a minimum qualifying score!
For many of our members, this was only the second or third time they had every participated in a barbershop harmony contest. We even had a few first-timers! We had an excellent time and we felt great coming off of the stage. As always, Richard (our fearless leader) was a fabulous coach and director. He kept us calm and focused…and, most importantly, he reminded us to enjoy the ride.
We’re now focused on our preparations for this year’s International Contests & Convention (IC&C), which takes place near Syracuse, N.Y., this year. We’re really, REALLY excited about our new ballad. It’s hard, but it’s worth it! We’ll be spiffing up our existing uptune and trying to get more out of it than we have in the past. We’re working really hard and we have a clear vision for the future.
We’re also growing! We’ve had the very good fortune to welcome some talented ladies to our risers this spring and summer. Many of them are making plans to come with us to IC&C, so there they’ll officially be welcomed as part of Bella Nova’s second trip to International but first time to the “big girls’ contest.” We cannot wait!
Our new rehearsal site is working out great. It’s so nice to have a permanent home! Our risers are there, our stuff is stored in our own storage locker…. it’s “home.” Please feel free to stop by and visit anytime! We rehearse at the Ashburn-Sterling Masonic Lodge #288 on Waxpool Rd. in Ashburn, Va.
Until next time! | <urn:uuid:d14f6f9a-897f-404a-89dd-452bf34168cd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bellanovachorus.com/2015/07/17/2015-momentum/ | 2020-09-25T22:17:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969269 | 481 |
One of the strangest things I’ve learned about people along the way… is the fact that people feel judged simply because you do things differently from them.
You don’t have to say “Oh, I’d never order that.” in order to make someone feel judged about the decisions they’re making with their food. You don’t have to say “Oh, I’d never eat the office cookies” in order to make someone feel some kinda way about the fact that they did, in fact, eat more office cookies than they’d care to admit. All you have to do… is do something they didn’t.
I know that I’ve always noticed when someone chose to turn down the cupcake or the cookies. I’d always wonder “Who, on Earth, would do something like that?” (Of course, the answer is “Someone who has a sugar addiction, someone who doesn’t want the sugar, someone who isn’t turned on by cupcakes, someone who is watching their figure…” but I didn’t know that, then.)
But the interesting thing, then, is what I’d think next… which is “Is there something wrong with me for eating the cupcakes or cookies? Is there something wrong with the cupcakes?” And this line of questioning always brought me some kind of guilt and shame… causing me to feel bad for wanting the cupcakes, and compelling me to feel like my choice was wrong… thereby making me want to go hide in the corner and binge on ’em by my damn self.
What can I say? I was young, I was weak, and I was emotionally vulnerable in ways I was unwilling to acknowledge. It happens.
I’ve written about food guilt and food shame before, but maybe we should revisit:
Let’s talk about guilt and shame here, for a minute – specifically “food guilt” and “food shame.” I am not a fan of either. Why? Because, quite frankly, they’re ideologies that come from a dieter’s lifestyle. Not the lifestyle of a human being, which makes allowances for error/slip-ups/occasional indulgences. (Note: this is also why I don’t believe in “moderation.” It’s dieter’s mentality. I’m not a dieter. I don’t “moderate” my intake of food. I use common sense.)
Guilt, defined by Merriam-Webster: “a : the state of one who has committed an offense especially consciously b : feelings of culpability especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy”
Shame, defined by Merriam-Webster: “(1) a : a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety b : the susceptibility to such emotion <have you no shame?>; (2) a condition of humiliating disgrace or disrepute <the shame of being arrested>”
I brought up these two different situations for a reason. Did I feel a little shame? Of course! No one likes to be wrong. No one likes to feel like they have a “shortcoming,” and no one like to feel like their knowledge of anything is subordinate to someone else.
Someone else who does not know me from a can of paint, however, trying to check me – in, almost, a mocking sense – about “what’s good for my diet?” Monumental fail.
This new third scenario, however, is different. It’s an implied judgment. It’s assumed that you’re trying to passive-aggressively imply that someone else shouldn’t be doing something simply by the virtue of you choosing to not do it. It’s a strange way for someone to put your choices on a pedestal and measure themselves up to you… but that’s exactly what it is.
I mean, think about it – when we hear a woman talk about how she doesn’t want “big thighs,” how many of us have looked at our own thighs and asked ourselves “What, is something wrong with big thighs? Do I have big thighs? She doesn’t like my thighs?” and it causes us to feel some kind of way about ourselves and the decisions we’ve made for ourselves.
It’s also a way to shoot down common wisdom about wellness and weight, to protect the idea that you can “eat what you want in moderation” and that you also can, in fact, “lose weight effortlessly… without all that ‘deprivation‘ and working out” There’s nothing effortless about what I’ve gone through, that’s for sure. But to see you making the hard decisions and, essentially, benefiting from them would serve as proof that people keep talking about the hard way because the hard way works. No one wants to hear (or see) all that, and it’s easier to question you than themselves… or that silly philosophy they cling to.
But why? Why do we feel implicitly judged by someone else’s choices? Why do we feel as though their choices for their own life are an indictment of how we choose to live? If someone decides to hit the gym during their lunch break instead of [insert franchise restaurant], why do we feel like we need to make ourselves feel better by clowning the gym-goer behind their backs over lunch? If someone decides to pass on the office pizza, why do we feel the need to put that person under the bright lights and give them the third degree over their choice?
If I decide that I don’t want to be a size 16, it’s not an indictment on size 16s. If I decide that I don’t want to eat the office cupcakes or the office pizza or the office potluck food, that’s not an indictment on (or judgment of) the people who do. It means that I don’t want it. What I decide for me and my body isn’t about you, so to make it about you is foolish on your part.
There are countless stories, shared by BGG2WL readers on this site, of how people have chastized them for doing what everyone else does – for goodness’ sakes, your “Black Card” can be revoked because of it – or do what they can to throw you off track… all because they feel judged by your choice to live differently.
So my friends take me out for sushi to celebrate (’cause we do go out to eat!). I’m enjoying an eel roll and seaweed salad when the friend of a good friend begins to go off about taking the fat girl out to eat, and that I should go on a water fast for 2 weeks, then a colonic, then vegetarian diet. I told her she know didn’t a thing about diabetes and uncontrolled low sugar levels. She told me that she knew that eating too much brought it on, therefore not eating would take care of it. So I said the only thing I could think of:
“I may be fat today, but I’m loosing weight and getting healthier every day. A year from now, I’ll be smaller, more gorgeous, and won’t even remember you. But you’ll still be mean-spirited and ignant. Sucks to be you.”
Then her friend had to step in before the heifer hit me but that’s another story.
Also popular, is the “how dare you not offer what we want?” meme:
Last year for my son’s bday I set up a fajita station. We had grilled chicken or grilled sliced portobellas for the non-meat eaters, peppers & all the usual fajita offerings (lettuce, tomato, etc), fresh grilled corn on the cob, huge salad, fruit kabobs & of course the required cake & ice cream. My aunt complained the WHOLE time about where the fried chicken & macaroni salad was as if that’s the only fare we can serve at a family gathering. It really worked my nerves. Then she says, picking over my food, “I can’t eat this stuff.”
Stuff? What stuff? *sigh* It saddens me to think that for some of us if it isn’t fried, smothered, or cooked to death (string beans) it’s not our kind of food. This logic is ridiculous.
As for exercising this doesn’t seem to be a problem for men of color. They are encouraged to shoot hoops, run track & bike all day. Yet when a woman of color wants to partake in an activity it’s viewed with ulterior motives. She must be “trying to lose weight for the summer”; or she’s “trying to be cute” (or white). Being active is never viewed as wanting to maintain health or simply for enjoyment. This is bothersome.
Understand what I’m saying, here: it’s one thing to see or hear something you don’t like… it’s another thing entirely to then denigrate it because it’s not what you want.
I guess I speak of it in this fashion because I used to do it. My best friend is a size 6. Trust me. I used to do it a lot.
Is there jealousy involved? Is there guilt or shame involved? Absolutely. I think that is what compels the person who feels judged to respond negatively to you making a different decision than they did. How do you deal with it?
Like I admitted before, I used to be guilty of this. It’s strange now because I went from being the person embarassed that my fat ass was eating cake in public to being the person who everyone’s asking “why aren’t you having any cake?” and giving the puppy dog face when they see you turning it down. I’m extra-sensitive to it because I also know that the wrong word choice would cause someone to feel the same way I did.
And no, it isn’t my responsibility to coddle someone else’s feelings… but I do feel some responsibility to not be insensitive.
When people ask me why I’m not having the cupcakes or any other super sweet thing? I just tell ’em, complete with a head shake, “I just have a headache… the sugar’s only gonna make it worse. Maybe after it dies down.” and I add in a hand toss for good measure. If they inquire further, you “already took something” and you’re waiting on it to take effect. That way, I’m not responding with anything similar to “Don’t you know that cupcakes make you fat?” or “Because I have a sugar addiction and I’m not trying to make it worse.” I don’t want to have any further conversation about my choice, and I don’t want to make an awkward situation worse.
If it’s something oily or cheap-looking? “I want to, but I have a stomach ache. Maybe after I have some pepto.””I haaaate [insert pizza chain.] It always makes me sick when I try to eat it!”
For some strange reason, saying “I’m just not in the mood” isn’t enough, because [thanks to all these cupcake boutiques] people love to respond with “a cupcake will always put you in the mood!” (Mind you, as a recovering sugar addict, this is creepy as hell.)
What I realized about myself – and it may be different for others – is that the times where I felt some kind of way about someone choosing to not eat the cake or cookies, were the times where I wanted to turn it down too, and couldn’t (yet, didn’t know why I couldn’t.) I felt an unnecessary compulsion to indulge… and didn’t understand it. I didn’t get it, but I’d do it anyway and be okay with it because, well, cupcakes taste good. It can’t hurt to have another one, right?
I didn’t want to take the “easy” way out, but I did because it was comforting. It’s a hard decision to go against habit and hit the gym or turn down the cupcakes. I didn’t know what that took then, but taking the time to learn made the difference for me, personally.
Do I think this happens the same way in every situation? Honestly, no. However I do know that, on the course of adopting a healthier lifestyle, we all will encounter this. My only advice is to do what you can to take the focus off of what’s assumed to be judgment, and put it onto something arbitrary that can’t be accounted for. It takes the sting out, squashes the debating, and everyone can go back to enjoying their cupcakes… while you, well, enjoy not enjoying them. | <urn:uuid:2ec64e06-47ff-4a1f-b155-6bf2fdf63cce> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blackgirlsguidetoweightloss.com/its-all-mental/its-not-about-you-dealing-with-implied-judgment/ | 2020-09-26T00:08:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.964641 | 2,877 |
All businesses today must acknowledge the state of the market in which they are operating and the ways it has evolved to breed risk. Truly, today’s business climate is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
Technology has unquestionably empowered companies to innovate quickly. However, new challenges have arisen as a result. Years ago, the cable industry had no legitimate competition, yet services like Netflix have gained rapid momentum and are now used in 40% of households with TV and broadband internet.
With the potential for external and internal risks to arise at an accelerated pace –alongside the risk of “left-field disruptions”— organizations are experimenting with new approaches to foster innovation, obtain a sustaining leadership position and mitigate new risks. However, they still must be careful, because so much is at stake with each business decision made. (An experimental offering can, for example, cause irreparable harm to your business.) As such, it’s time to re-evaluate how your organization operates with respect to balancing risk and opportunity.
It is important to note that no company is immune to the volatile and fluctuating market today. Even on the most successful end of an industry’s spectrum, we are seeing a pattern in which the lifespans and successes of companies on the New York Stock Exchange are shrinking. On the other side, smaller, more nimble companies have mastered momentum – emerging as clear winners, demanding market share and industry attention.
The reason is clear and there is a lesson to be learned. Start-up companies are outliers in the market and institute a fresh way of working. They value customer feedback and create offerings in lock step with emerging expectations, making more effective use of data than older, established organizations. This allows them to take deliberate, calculated risks.
In order to compete, it’s important to create a culture and follow procedures that combine multiple risk management processes to create a new, more nimble and holistic approach to risk management.
Let’s now review some steps your organization can take to achieve the optimum balance of risk and opportunity:
- Embrace the role hierarchies and culture play in operational successes and risk mitigation. New, rapid-pace players – “left field disruptors” in the market – are a risk to your business. However, just as they are able to execute quickly, your organization has the same potential.
Therefore, it’s beneficial to have a balanced view of risk and opportunity, stemming directly from a strong corporate culture, based in a factual and strategic basis rather than anecdotes from yesteryear. This corporate culture allows millennial workers the transparency to understand how their work is related to business objectives, while ensuring that these staff feel empowered with data and technology to make the right decisions about their work without waiting for top-down direction.
Today’s workforce is connected, energetic and eager to make their mark. They are highly networked and relationship oriented. In fact, 55% are connected to 100 people or more through social media, with a tendency to form active communities and a desire to be in control.
Understanding these behaviors reveal ways to best empower, reward and motivate your workforce. This is why many companies are incorporating a flat structure within their organization. This also strengthens transparency and fosters accountability, mitigating risk.
- Rethink the methods implemented to manage third parties with data. Management of third parties, including vendors, introduces uncontrollable external risk factors. If you are reading this, you are likely familiar with many approaches to risk mitigation as it pertains to your extended ecosystem of partners, third parties and vendors. Gaining a holistic, real-time and 360-degree view across this ecosystem requires an organization to make smart use of all internal and external data available.
Undoubtedly, risks stemming from third parties – who are also influenced by market conditions and events – can have a financial and reputational impact on the parent organization. To combat these risks, various functions across the organization must collaborate and make smart decisions based on data.
When all of the functional groups – i.e. audit, risk, compliance and vendor management – are collaborating, sharing information, interpreting incidents and working in tandem, a true, live and beneficial understanding of potential third-party risk can be obtained.
- Scrutinize what’s on the horizon and learn from prior executional stumbles . There are multiple ways to analyze risk as it pertains to learning or planning. Loss events take a look at the history, while a scenario approach provides a long lead view into projections.
In between, an organization can actively measure metrics to provide an accurate view of the current risk landscape. Together, these many types of risk management functions provide a complete picture – although this may not be the most common approach, as it is costly and both time and resource intensive.
There was once a time where you could have a legitimate debate around whether one should invest in the best risk management procedures as a precaution or roll the dice and absorb costs should an unlikely risk occur. In today’s market, this is no longer up for debate.
Each and every company needs a complete, proactive process. This way of operating is not bound to just one industry or company. Rather, all companies today must aim for a complete view of risk when planning and executing operations.
Whether you’re in automobiles or in healthcare – wondering, for example, if a merger for the purpose of tax benefits is the right route for your business – you need to be able to work through the business risk assessment and scrutinize what’s on the horizon. This new holistic risk management process will ensure that while you look at the future and present, you can still exercise hindsight and ask the right questions – e.g., what sort of missteps has your organization (or other companies) had? And how does that affect the health of the company?
Rather than get into a market and scramble to ensure compliance, earn the right to dominate the market by planning for the regulatory compliance, industry standards and internal policy compliance.
- Identify opportunities to foster change through technological experimentation . As part of an effort to find new operational efficiencies, your company should be constantly evaluating new technological resources. You must not only conduct reviews of the latest offerings you see your competitors using but also experiment with tools that are untested. This approach will allow your organization to obtain a competitive advantage, optimizing procedures and mitigating risk across the enterprise.
Create a task force and execute a survey to learn where there are pain points in your organization – and to match them to the latest technological offerings. This will allow you to implement the latest, most powerful and convenient solutions, rather than simply bounding your organization to a chain with the email and program suites of yesteryear.
Applications like Prezi and Slack have completely reimagined the way anyone can present or communicate information, changing the pace and methods in which the workforce can share feedback, ideas and requests – and enabling corporations to execute at the speed of today’s competitive market.
The steps we’ve discussed present a new way of addressing business risk, enabling your organization to obtain a leadership position in a climate that may seem risky and ever-changing but also tremendously exciting. These measures and processes address internal and external risks that may arise, through the lens of the modern, lean, youthful and optimized market challenger – and, in many cases, the leader.
Embracing a new hierarchy and motivational process for today’s workforce enables an organization to unlock the potential of employees by structuring opportunities in a way that speaks to their motivation, habits and goals. Just as business risks evolve and cause you to reassess strategy, the same holds true for your partners. Therefore, reimagining how you collaborate with third parties is an essential step in mitigating associated risks.
All businesses today must have a complete risk assessment strategy, rather than letting upfront cost or resource for implementing a process serve as a deterrent. As technology evolves, businesses that evolve with it will be the ones who are awarded with market leadership.

Have you come across any reading material recently that says ‘Sitting is the new smoking’ when it comes to causing ill health or even death? Apparently, many adults in the UK spend more than seven hours a day sitting or lying, and this typically increases with age to 10 hours or more. You can see why this would be the case in these computerised/TV days, but rarely do we think about it.
I sit on my derriere for quite some time each day, whether that’s writing articles, seeing clients or lecturing. So, when I saw this rather alarming fact about sitting, and I saw it more than a few times, I thought I’d better look into it.
But then life got in the way and I’ve got a new, but small, vegetable patch to tend and I didn’t do anything else about it.
However, what was good was the fact that it sparked the thought I should move more. I then realised I was already moving much more due to said vegetable patch. The fact it’s on quite a slope also helped (as my calf and thigh muscles will confirm occasionally) as I go up and down with my watering can! This allayed my fears about sitting too much so, again, I could procrastinate about reading up on the ‘Sitting is the new smoking’ stuff.
Feeling rather virtuous that I was moving around a bit more, I also reminded myself to get out of my chair and have a quick stretch or walk around every now and again – always a good excuse to get another cuppa! It has to be said, that even after a few days I was noticing a small difference in my energy levels, which nicely improved on an ongoing basis.
Can you imagine my annoyance then, when I read that researchers from Canada, America and Australia say that: “While research does suggest excessive sitting (roughly more than eight hours a day) increases the risk of premature death and some chronic diseases by 10-20%, this pales in comparison to the risks associated with smoking. Smoking increases the risk of premature death, from any cause, by approximately 180%.” They go on to say: “…and a more than 1000% increased risk of lung cancer”.
For a fraction of a moment I felt I’d been led down a garden path. But then I re-read what they said, and although sitting isn’t anywhere near as bad as smoking, it’s still bad and I therefore felt a bit happier about all my moving around.
For those of you who are interested, apparently sitting for long periods is thought to slow the metabolism, which affects the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar, blood pressure and break down body fat.
So, shall we stand up and have a bit of a stretch? Even my 92-year old Mum can do that with the help of her Zimmer! And if anyone wants to give up smoking, I know quite a few people who can help.

Halloween is just around the corner and everybody is getting ready. People are buying their candy, picking out their costumes and preparing to scare their friends and/or total strangers. Not only that, but people are also watching their favorite Halloween movies.
With new movies coming out on Halloween and some classic ones that we already own, it’s hard to decide what to watch for the occasion. Some people prefer to see horror in order to get a good scare. However, others want their Halloween to be funny and decide to see a comedy.
Sometimes around Halloween, I like to stay in and have a movie marathon. Here is my top five flicks for this Halloween:
5. E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (1982):
In this classic we have a gentle alien that is stuck on Earth and meets these California kids and they become close. The storyline is memorable, E.T. was both fascinating and amusing and the special effects did not disappoint. What makes this movie into my top five is because it involves aliens, family drama and some humor with E.T. (and not just because of his love for Reese’s Pieces).
4. Don’t Breathe (2016):
Three thieves are drawn to a blind man’s home where he holds a good amount of money for them to steal. However, the Blind Man (Stephen Lang) is more of a threat than they believed. When the thieves make a sound, the blind man starts shooting and killing until the threat is taken care of.
This movie has danger around every corner and you never know when something is going to pop out and terrify you (which is the point, but still).
3. Casper (1995):
We all know about Casper the Friendly Ghost. In this movie, the friendly ghost has people moving in with him. Moving in with him is a ghost expert and his teenage daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) and he immediately falls for her. Kat and Casper have to deal with the adjustment of living together and their mischievous uncles Stretch, Fatso and Stinky.
This movie has humor, drama and ghosts (scary and friendly).
2. Ghostbusters (1984):
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! A team scientists got fired from their jobs at Columbia University so they work together to study the paranormal. These scientists create weapons and suit up to fight off ghosts and save the world from a supernatural crisis.
The action sequences and the special effects from the ghosts speak for themselves.
1. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993):
Jack “the Pumpkin King” combines Halloween and Christmas together. It is one of the reasons why this movie is my number one. The songs were captivating, especially “This is Halloween.” What got me interested the most is the animation. The way the characters were designed was engaging. At first I was a bit frightful just looking at them, but now I see that it was suited well for this movie. After watching this I ask myself, “Is this for Halloween or Christmas?” Either way it’s worth watching.
So, this is my top five movies for Halloween. What is your top five?

It is too early to blog this morning. I’m sitting in at work in an empty office space. Alone, just a few lights and mostly in the dark. Still dark outside with some street lights, the slow moving lights of communter’s car and random distant lights of various colours. The sun still has an hour or so to make an appearance. The ever present hum of the server room, and my own typing on my laptop’s keyboard fill the silence. A quiet time. A time for reflection.
I spent the last few days in reflection, wondering about the future. Many things have happened to me in the past while. Good things mostly this year. Not always things that I recognized or expected, at least not in their current shape and form. But that is life: organic, uncertain, growing and unpredictable. In mechanistic mind, the complexity of interactions and the nature of things make life appear chaotic. Cause and effect and free will and randomness appear. Surprise should not arise in my mind. The universe, built upon the chaotic foundations of the quantum world attains regularity from its design and the laws that govern it. Chaos only appears, because God built a universe where free will can and truly exists. Causality only paints part of the picture. This should make me happy, but it also brings indecision. Causality enforces the consequences of my actions. But the underlying chaos gives me the freedom to decide and choose my own actions at any given moment.
I realize that today, I stand in a bright and hopeful future. A future I could not predict or imagine. No one expected that I should live on the other side of the ocean, far from my family and far my ancestor’s homeland. Or maybe homelands, since the fate of many nations and peoples form the history of humanity. No one expected me meeting the friends that I have. Not ideal people, but good people who help and guide me on my journey through life. No one expected my working where I do. I neither planned nor expected such a company existed. Nor did I plan on working with such a group of friendly, ambitious and professional coworkers. I definitely never planned nor wanted to work with people so closely, as I do as a consultant. But over the course of my life, I grew into these situations and all these things shaped me as I do.
So why should the future to look different in nature? How large of leap it should be not to expect love from an unexpected person from an unexpected land? Will it be truly so? Who knows, but God. And even He lets us play with this toy, the universe He fashioned exclusively for us. His judgement may be swift and fierce. But His kindness toward such a clumbsy, silly and pathetic race of beings as humans are, is infinite. And He comes to our aid when we need it. But I am going on an aside. I say this publicly, cause I intend not to offer up excuses or lay obstacles to this person. And I’ll let fate, circumstances and nature run its course, whatever that course may be. And whatever those effects may be. I trust God will deliver the right person to me.
It is too early to write this morning. I have spoken my mind, which my experience tells me most people don’t want to know or hear. And I may not enjoy their critism or them turning from me. But I’m not writing for them. They do not care about me, and I’m less than enthaustic about them. I write for the person who said yes, when so many others said no. Even very interesting others, but as sad, as arbitray this decision may seem, they had their chance but chose not to act upon it. Their loss. And I turn my attention to this person, and say let us see what comes of this.

There is nothing like the scent of Christmas. It can be September, but if you smell “Christmas” you are transported right to it. I love the yummy candles at the store, but nothing tops the real scent of a fresh Christmas tree, cinnamon, cloves, oranges, apples and cranberries. I created this Homemade Christmas Potpourri recipe a couple of years ago for my family and friends and loved it so much that I made about 10 packets of it for myself as well. I decided to do it again this year, and may make it my traditional gift for neighbors each year because I love it so much.
It’s simple to put together, has a long shelf life and is inexpensive! Win, win, win!
This is the Food Dehydrator I use. It’s inexpensive, holds a large quantity of food and works like a champ! It takes about 12 – 16 hours to dry each type of fruit when each tray is fully loaded, so plan ahead to give yourself enough time for the number of gifts you’ll be making.
Homemade Christmas Potpourri Recipe:
3 slices of dried Orange
3 slices of dried Apple
1 slice of dried lemon
1 Cinnamon stick
5-10 whole Cloves (or 1/2 tsp of ground Clove)
1/4 c. Dried Cranberries (or Craisins)
– Buy your Cinnamon sticks in bulk – like these Cinnamon Sticks from Amazon. They are MUCH cheaper than purchasing them at your local grocery store in a small jar.
– Look for whole or ground cloves in the Mexican food aisle at your grocery store – mine were about 1/2 the price of those in the spice aisle.
– Print out my FREE GIFT TAGS to attach to your gifts. I package mine in small cellophane bags and tie with ribbon.
PRINT OUT THESE FREE GIFT TAGS TO USE FOR YOUR OWN! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Fashion Designers Who Also Create Furniture
Furniture making is a 30 billion dollars global market and a market where everyone would like a piece, especially fashion designers.
Being already famous for the clothing and perfumes they create, its relatively easy for famous brands to enter the furniture market and usually become an instant success especially in the contemporary furniture and luxury furniture design area.
Calvin Klein, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli or Armani are only a few of the most recognized fashion designers that we would like to feature in this article.
They have emerged on the furnishings and accessories market and reflect an aesthetic sensibility similar to their sister labels.
The Versace Bubble Sofa. Was 18,000 starting price in 2010. What price now in 2019?
Jazz by Armani Casa that is featuring a unique design and is a fine piece of contemporary art and style.
The cabinet has stylish doors from mixed veneers that are merged in an exclusive way to offer an attractive and cool effect for a limited edition piece.
Calvin Klein furniture features clean, sleek lines same as his fashion collection. His furniture pieces are simple, sleek and elegant, and clearly, fit for people who enjoy furnishings without excesses.
At the same time, similar to the fashion area, Calvin Klein furnishings are probably some of the most affordable.

Armani Casa Furniture
Armani Casa contemporary furniture is something you want to keep in plain view but if you must break up the setting they have some Wonderful Room Dividers that do justice to the rooms you are dividing. The three room dividers shown here are a perfect compliment to the Armani Casa collection of contemporary furniture which is everything you would expect from a name like Armani.
First the Tudor is an eye catching and sophisticated screen with three panels in wood with geometric openwork and covered in gold leaf. The Tudor allows for a differentiation of area yet an open look as well. 60x135H cm Second we have the Winchester 1 Screen with two, three or six panels.
Winchester is available in pickled light oak, brown oak or covered in silver spatula-applied stucco. The Winchester 2 is a half height version perfect for a lower room partition that won’t block the view of adjoining areas.
75x8x92H cm or 72x8x200H cm
The third room divider is the Radetzcky which is a black lacquer panel screen, with ecru and brass color fabric that offer a uniqueness to each panel and a little texture to your room. Radetzcky is made up of three units, each measuring 60x4x180H cm.
The two beds shown here have completely contrasting themes, yet a universal “zen” like quality that offers a crisp clean addition to modern architecture. The Osaka four poster bed with upholstered headboard and frame, comes in brown oak, grey oak, or sucupira for a distinctly Asian theme.
The upholstered headboard can be dismantled, all the covers removed, and is available in leather or in various fabrics from the collection. The canopy is made in silk taffeta, inserted laterally in the frame, and can be removed in full for a change of pace.
The Omega, is a much lighter but very bold platform bed with upholstered headboard and frame in brown oak, sucupira or anthracite grey lacquer. The upholstered headboard can be dismantled and all the covers removed and is also available in leather or fabrics from the collection.
The Osaka canopy bed is available in King or California King while the Omega platform bed is available in King, California King, and Queen sizes. You must see the entire Armani Casa collection, beware the stuff isn’t cheap!! | <urn:uuid:b56086b3-7199-48e8-bcf0-0cb236c57bbc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://furniturefashion.com/ten-fashion-designers-create-furniture/ | 2020-09-25T23:18:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935789 | 1,051 |
A central challenge of game development is to create games that provide an entertaining experience to a broad segment of users. This is not easy: Playing a computer game gives rise to an experience caused by the interaction between the player and the game, which is dependent on a host of variables associated with the user, the context of play and the game design, e.g. the interface. Based on collaboration between game researchers at the IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) and the largest game developer in Denmark, IO Interactive (IOI), this project combines game metrics with data from existing user-experience analysis methods, in order to establish how specific game design features shape and form the user experience of playing computer games. Game metrics are quantitative data derived from the game software itself about the game-player interaction. It relates to all forms of actions performed by the player while playing and can be used to evaluate game-user interaction and the functionality of the game design. The project breaks new ground by combining multiple disparate data sources of user experience, and by adding game metrics to this framework. Core results are novel methods for tracking and analyzing user experience data in game development, and provide a detailed understanding of how game elements impact on user experience, as well as in new methods for quality assurance in the industry.
Start date: July 2008.
End date: Ongoing.
Funding scheme:Co-funded by IO Interactive and ITU.

A ‘Core Group’ of IFRF Members supporting the European Flame Research Initiative has met at the offices of GdF Suez and agreed a framework of activities to be facilitated by the IFRF. The label ‘EFRI’ embraces some 30 EU based IFRF Members and Non-Members defined as ‘Suppliers’ and ‘Users’ of small to large scale combustion, gasification and fuel test facilities.
The Core Group, comprising representatives of IFRF, Cardiff University (UK), CNRS (France), DTU (Denmark), ENEL (Italy), ETC (Sweden), GdF Suez (France), and GWI (Germany) has agreed to oversee the development of this new Europe-wide industrial combustion network which will:
- create a searchable on-line directory of European combustion, gasification and solid fuel characterisation test rigs
- establish an on-line forum for exchange of ideas between members of the EFRI Network
- organise regular technical meetings, each focused on sharing practical experience with the design and operation of specific types of combustion/gasification/fuels test facilities
- provide a platform to seek European financial support for the development of an EU-wide network of complimentary combustion test facilities, and the research activities undertaken using them
In the coming months, IFRF will put in place a new EFRI domain within its web site, and create a content managed web page for each of its EFRI Supplier Members to upload and share information on their combustion test facilities. It is expected that construction of the necessary databases and web pages will take place during the summer, so that they can be populated with searchable content in the Autumn.
The EFRI Forum is already in existence. It is open to all Suppliers and Users of combustion test facilities on application to the IFRF’s Tracey Biller .
Dates and themes for the first three technical meetings were established, and these will be announced individually in future issues of the MNM as soon the full details are confirmed and entered into the IFRF’s Events Calendar.
Regarding European funding, a number of opportunities to seek funding under the currently open ‘Capacities’ call, and the upcoming ‘Energy’ call have been identified, and EFRI Associates will be alerted to these by email in good time for the formation of consortia to bid for funds.
Organisations wishing to know more about EFRI or to explore options for associating with EFRI are invited to contact IFRF’s Deputy Superintendent of Research Neil Fricker. | <urn:uuid:e0d03562-88ee-43f4-b0c6-868fdbaf2381> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ifrf.net/ifrf-blog/blueprint-for-european-flame-research-initiative-efri/ | 2020-09-25T22:40:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.930326 | 541 |
Bourjois have just released two palettes; Palette Le Smoky and Palette Les Nudes. At £11.99 each, these aren’t the cheapest palettes on the high street. However, I seem to be loving everything I try by Bourjois, so I thought it was about time I tried them out.
As always Bourjois have come out with some beautifully unique and stunning packaging. It opens like a traditional palette, and then swivels round. I mean personally I feel like it’s a bit of a novelty; why would you want or need to turn the mirror in the opposite direction.. then you can’t use the actual eyeshadows… However they’re still pretty cool.
I really can’t decide if I hate or love the formula though. Every single eye shadow is shimmery; which isn’t a bad thing. The shimmer in these eye shadows are beautiful, and reflect the light in such a beautiful way. However, the rest of the formula is just a bit meh. The eyeshadows blend really beautifully, and their pigmentation is good. The formula is buttery. You’re probably all thinking that sounds great… however, for £11.99 (each) I think you can find eye shadows that are possibly better (look towards Makeup Revolution for example).
The Palette Les Nudes is probably my least favourite of the two. There are loads of beautiful pale shades that would look beautiful as the accent in the middle of the eyelid/on the inner corner. And then two dark browns… but very little in between. So, I actually feel like it’s fairly difficult to create an entire eye look with this palette on it’s own. I feel like the last four shades would make a beautiful quad.. and then they’ve added a purple, blue and green…. and a highlight.
The Palette Le Smokey has some really unusual and unique shades in there. While they look a little out there, they’re actually super wearable. The penultimate gold colour is such an interesting colour! It’s like a two toned gold and green shade. It takes a stereotypical gold shade and puts their own spin on it! I love it! And there are some stunning grey toned blues, and plum colours – so perfect for this season. However, once again, we’re missing the middle shades?!

It seems that a lot of people still don't realize that we're all managing our own careers now. Yes, your organization has some say and power in the equation. But that ability to influence our choices is often misunderstood as managing what job we're in, why we're in it, and what other jobs we can have.
And one of the situations that confuses us is when our organization asks us to interview for a job without us applying for it. Maybe we really want the job, maybe we would have never considered it. But when they ask US - when the COMPANY seems to know more than we do, and we don't know what the invite MEANS ... it's confusing. And that's why Career Tools is here: to explain what to do and why.

Crusaders winger Will Jordan has announced himself as a potential All Black during the early stages of Super Rugby Aotearoa.
The 22-year-old stole the headlines last weekend with a brace against the Highlanders and fans across New Zealand are excited by the prospects of the young man.
Jordan represented New Zealand U20 at the 2017 U20 World Championships and scored nine tries in seven appearances for the team in total.
His form for the Crusaders is similarly impressive having already racked up 14 tries in 15 games for the reigning Super Rugby champions.
To showcase the talent of the youngster World Rugby has released a montage of some of his best moments while representing New Zealand U20 at the World Championships. | <urn:uuid:6708125c-666e-4a64-a212-aebf8162c531> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://rugbydump.com/news/will-jordan-u20-highlights-show-just-how-slick-the-young-man-really-is | 2020-09-26T00:30:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.963765 | 145 |
VANiLLa: Verbalized Answers in Natural Language at Large scale
A large scale data for answer verbaliser for simple natural questions.
Question Answering (QA) has been an active field of research in the past years with significant developments in the area of Question Answering over Knowledge Graphs (KGQA). In spite of all the notable advancements, current KGQA datasets only provide the answers as resource or literals rather than full sentences. Thus, template-based verbalizations are usually employed for representing the answers in natural language. This deficiency is a ramification of the scarcity of datasets for verbalizing KGQA responses. Hence, we provide the VANiLLa dataset which aims at reducing this gap. The VANiLLa dataset consists of over 100k simple questions adapted from the CSQA and SimpleQuestionsWikidata datasets along with their answers in natural language sentences. In this paper, we describe the dataset creation process and dataset characteristics. We also present multiple baseline models adapted from current state-of-the-art Natural Language Generation (NLG) architectures. We believe that this dataset will allow researchers to focus on finding suitable methodologies and architectures for answer verbalization. | <urn:uuid:9aef024d-60d3-4bdf-94be-444ae54c759d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sda.tech/projects/vanilla/ | 2020-09-25T21:57:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.898557 | 252 |
