Yes, it’s true, we’ve finally reached that point in time where mirrorless cameras have become so popular that even the two of the biggest DSLR manufacturers have decided to throw their own fighters into the brutal fight for dominance on the market. While a couple of brands have enjoyed more popularity than others in the last decade, all the released cameras from this year (and some of those products that are slated for release in 2019) are ready to shake things up again and force those manufacturers that were playing it safe to innovate once again in a mission to retain their current audience and also gain some additional fans.
Still, why there are many newly released mirrorless cameras that have caused some buzz within the photography community, there is one that could be singled out as the device that has been most talked about (both for its good and some less impressive aspects as well). You probably would have guessed it if you follow the current trends as we are about to take a look at one of most controversial cameras of 2018, the Canon EOS R. The company certainly didn’t have it easy with their last full frame camera (the Canon EOS 6D) due to all the criticism they’ve received for purposely underequipping it, so it wouldn’t hurt the sales of their flagship DSLR, the EOS 5D Mark IV
So, they couldn’t afford the same with their first mirrorless full frame camera, the aforementioned EOS R and luckily, they didn’t, but it still carries some unpopular traits that were part of Canon’s cameras since forever and that’s mostly to company’s unwillingness to go all the way with their cameras (despite that they possess all the manpower and the resources to do it) and make a truly impressive flagship product that will include all the good things that made Canon’s devices so popular (like their ergonomics, build quality, Dual Pixel AF, intuitive user interface and an impressive array of compatible lenses) but also all the features that the competition is using against them to draw away their potential audience (like the in-body image stabilization, full frame 4K video, dual SD card slots and a few other ones that we will mention in our review). Still, even when you take into account the Canon’s stubbornness when it comes to adopting all the latest technologies, the Canon EOS R still remains a mirrorless full frame camera that has a lot to offer and is easily the most advanced Canon camera to this date when it comes to photography (even though its positioned below the 5D Mark IV in terms of its price point).
While any big company deserves every criticism they get when releasing a pricey product that doesn’t deliver on all fronts, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the product itself is bad and that there isn’t a lot of users out there that would enjoy it thoroughly if you put it in their hands. We do believe that the Canon EOS R does include a lot of great features and that it will turn out to be a very good camera in its own right, but as always, we’ll try to keep an objective (but also positive) perspective on everything and see if this camera has what it takes to find its own place in the already crowded market or will it be written of as some niche product only reserved for Canon’s most loyal fans that also have very deep pockets. Well, let’s find out and begin our review by looking at the overall specifications of the EOS R.
While you may not be buying the Canon EOS R because of its specifications and because you are trying to get as much features for your money, you could surely do it because comfort and handling are your top priority above everything else. Canon has managed to find a perfect balance between build quality, portability and ease of use, which is something that can hardly be said for many mirrorless and compact cameras out there. If you’re one of those photographers that have previously only been using a DSLR, then you’ll feel right at home with the EOS R. Its big front grip will allow for your fingers to perfectly wrap around it and hold the camera really steadily and securely, even when using a long telephoto lens.
With the weight of 660 grams, it’s certainly not the lightest mirrorless camera around but is still light enough for you to be able to carry it with you without having to deal with any fatigue after using it for prolonged periods of time. We also like the addition of weather sealing (which is apparently on the same level as one found on the 6D Mark II) which will give anyone shooting in harsher conditions some piece of mind that nothing will happen with their new and expensive investment. Then there are things like the fully articulating touchscreen, the top LCD panel which you can see in most cameras like Canon D70 and the new Multi-function bar that also add a lot to the overall usability and the flexibility of the camera. A lot of reviewers have reported that they didn’t like the added touch sensitive Multi-function bar and they had to deal with too many accidental presses, but our opinion is quite opposite of that one. We’ve never used the bar accidentally during our testing (not even once) and even though it may not be as comfortable to use as a physical button or a dial (which do offer nicer feedback while being pressed) it is a highly customizable piece of hardware and can really make your life easier when setting up the right way (we’ll talk more about it very soon).
Now, before we dwell deeper inside the Canon EOS R’s core and menu systems, its time to take a little tour of its exterior. Let us begin by examining the front of the camera. Here you’ll find the AF-assist beam/Self-timer/Remote control lamp, the stereo microphones, the DC coupler card hole and the lens release button. There’s a lot to be said about the new RF-mount, but there are two things that stand out the most: the three official adapters that Canon have released to support its current EF and EF-S lineup and the one extra feature that can be found on all the current and future RF lenses and that is the additional fully customizable control ring (besides the regular things like zoom and focus rings). The great thing about said adapters is that not only do they work with any of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses ever released, but besides the regular one there’s also one that has the control ring built into it (so even your DSLR lenses can gain that functionality) and also the one that features a filter slot to allow you to use ND or polarizing filter on any lens that you decide to mount on the Canon EOS R (no more worries about not being able to use filters with your ultra-wide angle lenses or having to worry to buy many different varieties to fit the different filter sizes of all of your lenses).
The left side of the camera holds a plethora of different ports (the remote control port, USB-C, HDMI and the microphone and headphone jacks), while the right side is reserved for the UHS-II compatible SD card slot. The bottom of the camera is where the tripod socket and the battery compartment lie. Looking at the top of the camera reveals the On/Off dial, the standard hotshoe mount, the top LCD (just like on DSLRs, it is also used to showcase any important shooting information while consuming much less power than the EVF or the screen on the back of the camera, with the added bonus of always showing you’re currently active mode even while the camera is powered off), the Mode button and the Quick control dial (with the standard main mode dial now gone, you will be switching between your shooting modes with the press of the Mode button and by rotating the said dial), the LCD panel info switching/Illumination and the M-Fn buttons, the Movie shooting button, the main dial and lastly, the shutter button. In the end, let us see what the back of the EOS R holds. The top is occupied by the Menu button, the dioptric adjustment knob, the EVF and the viewfinder sensor, the Multi-function bar and the AE lock/FE lock and the AF point/Index/Magnify/Reduce buttons, while the rest of the EOS R includes the fully articulating touch screen, the Info button, a four-way navigation controller with the Set/Quick Control/Setting button in its center and also the Playback and the Erase buttons.
We can all conclude that the control scheme in the EOS R is a little less traditional than ones found on other Canon cameras but is still one of the best ones we’ve seen from any recent modern camera. It features everything you would want to find on a high-end mirrorless camera and also adds a very familiar Canon-made user interface that is very easy to understand and works great both with the physical buttons and the touchscreen. The company have really perfected their formula when it comes to giving their users a great experience when it comes to operating their cameras and making it irrelevant if those users are just beginning to get the grasp of photography or they’re more seasoned shooters. So, we can say that it is one of the best camera Canon has released in the market.
Now, one of the major differences between the EOS R and a traditional Canon DSLR is the amount of customization possibilities that can be found on every corner of its menu system. We’re still not talking about the most advanced camera in this regard when compared to its competitors, but it still a big step in the right for Canon as a company and will certainly bring a smile to the face of their current audience (because in all truth, the EOS R is a product created primarily with Canon fans in mind and they will certainly appreciate a large number of new features and functions that this device brings to the table). Now, in regard to customization, the first thing you’d want to do is to set up all the available physical controls to give you access to your most important options or to make them behave the certain way that would benefit your workflow. There are three menu items available that you’ll be digging into to satisfy your customization needs: Customize buttons, Customize dials and Customize M-Fn bar. The controls that are available to be reprogrammed under the Customize buttons tab are split between the stills and the movie mode (meaning you’ll be able set them up differently for each of those modes) and these consist out of 13 different buttons. The list of items to choose from is decently big and consists of things like AF stop, Set AF point to center, Eye Detection AF, Metering start, Exposure compensation, Set ISO Speed and on (the only limitation present here is that not all of the buttons can be used to access every function available, something that we hope Canon will improve on with the next generation of their full frame mirrorless cameras).
Then there’s the Customize dials menu and it will allow you to change the behavior of both the control dials included on the camera, as well as the one found on the RF mount lenses themselves. The last one is the most interesting one since it contains all the available options that will allow you to set up the newly added M-Fn touch bar. Now, while it’s true that learning to use it to its full potential will take some time for a lot of photographers, it will be worth it for everything it offers. All of the included options will be useful for all kinds of types of users (the adjustment of White balance, easy control over the magnification for manual focusing, audio level adjustment, changing the AF methods and more), our first choice would be to use it to control your ISO values. Not only will you be able to swipe left or right to adjust the ISO, you’ll also be able to tap one side of the bar to instantly access one user-defined ISO value and the other to enable the Auto ISO function, a type of use that any kind of photographer will certainly enjoy (all those reviewers and users that weren’t patient enough to learn how to cope with the M-Fn bar are certainly losing a big chunk of functionality that the EOS R brings to your fingertips). On top of all of those options you’ll also be able to adjust the rotation of the control dials (clockwise or counterclockwise), save three different sets of settings under the available custom menus (C1, C2 and C3), create a separate screen of less-commonly used settings under the My Menu option, decide how much information is display on your LCD and inside your viewfinder and so on.
This brings us to the last matter that needs to be discussed and that is the Wi-Fi functionality. Canon has been doing a great job in this particular area for quite some time now and the story is no different in case of the EOS R. There are four categories of available features: communication with a smartphone (either an Android or iOS device), uploading images to a Web service, printing them via a Wi-Fi printer or connecting the camera to a computer with the use of Canon’s own or a third-party software. Pairing the EOS R with a smartphone and the Camera Connect application will allow you to view or save your images to your smart device, use the remote shooting function (together with the ability to change a lot of different settings) and also gather the GPS data, while doing so with a computer or a laptop will also allow you to remotely operate the camera and upload your photos.
Printing wirelessly is pretty self-explanatory and so is the uploading to different web services once you’ve finished the initial setup through Canon’s Image Gateway website. The addition of Bluetooth is also a nice bonus to help you save power while doing anything else but an image and video transfer and nicely rounds up all the functions that will be given at your disposal if you decide that the EOS R is the camera for you. And it certainly should be on the top of your list if you care about having a rugged portable camera that handles like a dream, has a very intuitive user interface and a healthy number of customization options that will allow you to make the camera feel like your own.
While the Canon EOS R has been a target of harsh critique from a whole lot of people for many different reasons (some certainly deserved), there’s certainly a few things it manages to do right and one of them has to be everything related to focusing and performance. It’s certainly one of the most impressive mirrorless cameras on the market in this regard and this all due to Canon’s well known Dual Pixel AF technology. This time around it takes care of everything, from shooting still through the EVF and in live view, to video capture, but is also coupled together with a couple of useful addition as well. It now features an 88% horizontal and 100% vertical frame coverage, has as much as 5655 AF points to work with (yes, you’ve read that correctly), Touch and Drag AF functionality (it will let you select any part of the touchscreen as an area inside of which you’ll be able to drag your finger and select your desired focus point while looking through the EVF), great focusing support when shooting at dark apertures such as f8 or f11 (making it a great to use with teleconverters) and an impressive ability to acquire focus in low light conditions rated as low as -6 EV (that is, if you’re using a lens with an aperture of f1.2, but is still something that can’t be achieved with any other camera on the market). The overall focusing performance turned out to be excellent and it didn’t matter what we were doing with the EOS R, with only the subject tracking performance not working perfectly on some occasions (it will still enable you to get a very high capture rate, but just shy of the best cameras for sports and action).
Now, before we move on to continuous shooting capabilities and battery life, let us dive into the EOS R’ menu systems and see what kind of focusing modes it hides behind its lovely user interface. Your main modes will be the One-Shot AF, Servo AF and of course, Manual Focus, but it’s the additional AF Methods that make this camera such an impressive performer. These are the Face+Tracking, 1-point AF, Expand AF area, Expand AF area: Around, Zone AF, Large Zone AF: Vertical and lastly, the Large Zone AF: Horizontal. This essentially means that Canon is giving you as many options as possible for fine tuning the AF system, so you’ll be able to cope with any shooting situation. Since we are dealing with a flagship mirrorless camera, its also of no surprise that Canon has taken things one step further in terms of manual focus.
The large and sharp EVF does a great job of allowing you to see every little detail on your subject even without other focus assist tools, but the Magnify and Focus peaking features are both here to provide a lot of help in more trickier situations and so is one new feature brought from Canon’s lineup of video cameras, the Focus Guide (which displays a little white box with three arrows on top of it, spreads these arrows around depending on the direction you’re focusing in and turns the box green when the focus is acquired). Let us throw around a few numbers from our testing to showcase the EOS R’s performance in even more detail; it took around 2 seconds for it to power on and capture the first image, only 0.1 second to focus and take one photo and around 0.3 seconds between each captured shot (both for JPEG and RAW files).
At it, its fastest burst rate of 8 fps (though it does lock the focus at the first image) it was able to shoot around 65 RAW and 125 JPEG images before any drop in shooting speed could be observed and the buffer was getting close to being full. You can expect to get similar or even better buffer depths if you switch to 5 or 3 fps modes (which will also allow you to use the camera’s very good subject tracking capabilities). So, while the EOS R doesn’t manage to beat its competition in terms of its pure shooting speed, it does offer a consistent and reliable performance that will allow you to tackle some sports photography if you aren’t in need of absolutely fastest available burst rates that you can find on a modern camera.
Lastly, let us talk about battery life. This is a rather interesting topic, since Canon is very conservative with their official rating of 370 shots (without using the added Eco mode), which doesn’t sound like an impressive endurance by any standard, but then again, every reviewer out there (including us) was able to surpass the official rating and get anywhere between 600 and 1200 shots per charge and rarely reach numbers that go below them.
We don’t know why Canon is lacking in confidence so much when it comes to EOS R’s endurance, but we are still happy that we can report that it turned out to be one of the best performers on the mirrorless camera market instead of the rather average one according to Canon themselves. We should also mention that the camera supports USB charging, but only by using the optional PD-E1 USB Power Adapter and according to some users on the internet, it also works with selected USB-C compatible power banks (but since they aren’t officially supported, you’ll have to do your own research to find what works and what does not).
Canon’s cameras have always presented themselves as a solid choice for casual and semi-professional users and the very same can be said for the EOS R. It’s the closest you’ll ever get to one of the company’s dedicated video cameras if you want a solid feature set and a hybrid device that will also allow you to produce great photos. Being able to record in 4K 30 fps at a very high bitrate of 400 Mbps is the EOS R’s headline feature, but it does come with one caveat and that is the 1.74x crop that’s being applied to the footage itself. Now, while the quality of recorded videos is still very good (although not the best we’ve ever seen), the added crop will be a blessing for some and a curse for others; it all depends on what kind of videographer you really are.
Those recording the types of videos where getting the most range out of telephoto lenses is of high importance will actually love the 1.74x crop as it will allow them to get closer to their subjects without having to use a teleconverter, but on the other hand, creators of landscape videos will have a hard time getting the most out their full frame ultra-wide angle lenses. On the positive side, the EOS R does support EF-S lenses and investing in some UWA glass made for APS-C sensors will allow you to get a very wide field of view and resolve the problem of the added crop.
Another thing that separates this camera from a professional one when it comes to video recording is the lack of in-body image stabilization. This means that you will be able to get decently smooth footage using the available electronic stabilization modes (although they will crop your footage even further and add more softness), but you will need to invest in an optically stabilized lens if getting steady handheld videos is of any importance to you. Besides lacking Zebra exposure patterns and the available histogram being gone once you hit the record button, the EOS R does include a plethora of useful features: Dual Pixel AF, Focus peaking, C-Log recording, excellent battery life, 10-bit HDMI output, the fully articulating touch screen, many different video modes, 1080p 60 fps and 720 120 fps recording, microphone and headphone jacks, manual audio adjustments, the different picture profiles, the customizable controls and more.
The continuous AF performance during recording is still very stellar due to the already mentioned Dual Pixel AF technology and the articulating touch screen is still as helpful as ever for any kind of recordings, especially if you’re doing any kind of macro work or you’re a devoted vlogger. So, in all honesty, the Canon EOS R can’t be compared with the best cameras out there (be it mirrorless or DSLRs) on a merit of its video recording capabilities, but it despite that, it will still find its audience among less demanding videographers that are also into photography, but aren’t dealing with any big projects that require very high production values or some specific recording tools that aren’t available on the EOS R.
What the Canon EOS R lacks in terms of its video production capabilities it more than makes up with its ability to capture high-quality photos with the help of many different tools: its handling, user interface, control scheme, AF system, burst rate and battery life. While none of them will have a direct effect to your image quality, they will allow to get more consistent results on a daily basis and have and an easier time working with the camera in more demanding conditions.
The 30-megapixel full-frame sensor built inside of this camera is the same unit found in one of the company’s flagship DSLRs, the 5D Mark IV and possesses all the necessary qualities to allow you to get very respectable results. It has good dynamic range, great noise performance, excellent color reproduction and enough resolution to give you plenty of details if you’re using a good quality lens (we recommend any of Canon’s L lenses, especially the new ones that are native to the RF mount). We also like the JPEGs that come out of the EOS R since they bear that familiar Canon look and don’t go overboard with things like sharpening or noise reduction.
You will be able to get sharper and cleaner images with some of the devices that the competition offers, but only if you’re always dealing with very tough shooting conditions and if you’ve got deep enough pockets to invest in lenses that can make the most out of higher resolution sensors. We also like the fact that Canon have included a lot of options for correcting the optical flaws of some of their lenses (like Peripheral illumination and Distortion corrections, as well as the Digital Lens Optimizer feature), the Auto Lighting Optimizer (it will allow you to get more dynamic range out of your JPEGs), Highlight Tone Priority (for getting more details out of your bright areas) and also, the different Picture Styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Fine Detail, Neutral, Faithful, Monochrome and three User Defined profiles).
There are no fancy effects this time around, which is quite understandable considering the fact that we’re dealing with a professional grade camera and that they’re more suited for younger and more casual audience that won’t spend too much time playing around with RAW files in post-processing.
We can all conclude that the Canon EOS R is not a perfect camera and won’t be found on top of many lists, but that is something that could be said for any camera that Canon has made in the recent history (with the only exception being the 1D X Mark II, which is to be expected given its eye-watering price point) and still doesn’t take away from a lot of positive things that justify its existence. It offers very good image quality, great battery life, durable and ergonomic body, excellent EVF, fully articulating touch screen that is also very sharp, top of the line focusing performance thanks to its Dual Pixel AF system, 4K video recording, microphone and headphone jacks, intuitive user interface, stable and long-lasting burst rate and more.
It may not look like the most advanced piece of gear when directly compared to its competitors thanks to cropped 4K footage, lack of dual SD card slots, no image stabilization (except the electronic kind), no Zebra exposure patterns and a couple of other quirks that could have been ironed out a little more, but as a standalone camera it is still a very capable tool that a lot of hobbyists and professional photographers (even some videographers that can live with its limitations) will be very happy with and will allow them to get the job done, earn their paycheck and go home with a full wallet.
Especially if they are existing Canon users, since they will feel very familiar with a lot of aspects of the EOS R (especially its menu systems), but be able to use all of their Canon glass (and a lot of third-party lenses, but we advise you to check the interweb for those that are compatible) thanks to the well-engineered adapters that the company offers at a small price and even bundled with the EOS R itself for some markets. Even if they still haven’t managed to make a dream camera that we’ve always wanted from them, Canon certainly knows what they’re doing to keep their business alive and you know, brand loyalty is a powerful thing. | <urn:uuid:9acd0340-9634-46f8-9d4a-3040d8a1088a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sleeklens.com/canon-eos-r-review/ | 2020-09-25T23:49:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959251 | 5,655 |
Please join me in San Diego next Tuesday, February 26, 2008.
There’s a free 1-hour marketing workshop at a local Staples store, in cooperation with HP, and I’ll be there.
The event is open to the public — and YOU are invited. You can pick up some nice freebies, too.
What is it?
This is an event designed for businesspeople like you — anyone who wants to learn more about creating professional looking marketing documents on your own.
Here’s the flyer that explains more (click for larger image):
Who can attend?
The event is open to all. They do ask that you register in advance, so that they have enough room for everyone (they want to keep these small groups). Register for marketing workshop.
What does it cost?
It is free. 🙂
In fact, you will be able to take back some goodies and specials when you leave. There’s a marketing toolkit and CD (a $399 value) from HP that includes templates and other resources for creating brochures, business cards, and so on. There’s also a $50 credit for a professional design package through Logoworks.
I’ll also have examples of some of my own documents that I’ve created. You’ll be able to see real-life examples.
What will you cover, Anita?
I will be one of several people there discussing small business marketing, especially do-it-yourself marketing. Think of this as Marketing 101 for creating a professional impression using business documents. We’ll cover everything from what “voice” to use in your documents, to how to choose fonts, to the right colors, to setting up professional-looking templates, to choosing the right materials to print with.
Each workshop consists of 30 minutes of information, and 30 minutes of live hands-on demonstration. So this is not just telling — it’s also showing.
More than anything, it would be wonderful to meet you in person. I’m told this particular Staples is centrally-located in the heart of Mission Valley. The address is: 1880 Camino De La Reina, San Diego, California.
And if you can’t make that location, there are other workshops in several states (although I probably will not be at those). So far I am scheduled only at the San Diego location on February 26. There are 2 workshops that day and I’ll be at both.
Hope to see you there! Please register to reserve a spot. | <urn:uuid:2dedb716-d8da-4678-87ef-cac0c9aae8c4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://smallbiztrends.com/2008/02/join-me-in-san-diego-on-february-26.html | 2020-09-26T00:09:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.942322 | 535 |
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid with talks between the clubs said to be at 'maximum intensity'.
Reports in Spain suggested United had ramped up their efforts to land the full-back in a £23million deal.
One key stumbling block to an agreement was Madrid's insistence on putting a buy-back clause in the deal, which United were firmly against.
But as reported on Friday, Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane was happy to be flexible and exclude the clause in order to help push the transfer through.
Since then Marca have claimed talks are at a well advanced stage and United are now in the driving seat to seal Reguilon's signature.
The 23-year-old has been offered to a number of clubs across Europe this summer following his impressive performances on loan at Sevilla.
Reguilon is deemed surplus to requirements at Madrid as Zidane considers both Marcelo and Ferland Mendy ahead of the 23-year-old in the pecking order.
He was willing to give the green light to the deal without a buy-back option to help keep good relations with United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already brought in Donny van de Beek but Jadon Sancho remains Manchester United's number one target.
However, they have so far failed to agree a deal with Borussia Dortmund and are considering Gareth Bale as an alternative.
Put your email at the top of this article or follow the instructions on this link.
Chelsea and Arsenal both expressed an interest in Reguilon earlier this summer but opted against a move as United have made their swoop.
The Mail report that Tottenham could make a late bid to challenge United for Reguilon's services, but Old Trafford is considered to be the ideal destination for him to further his career.
Last season Reguilon made 38 appearances for Sevilla, helping them to winning the Europa League.
He was rewarded for his fine form with an international debut for Spain earlier this month.
Would Sergio Reguilon be a good signing for Man Utd? Have your say below.
Reguilon's signing would solve Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's need for cover at right-back as it would enable Brandon Williams to be back-up on his more natural side.
United chiefs are still hopeful of completing the transfer of Jadon Sancho too but a deal looks increasingly unlikely.
Dortmund are standing firm on their valuation of the winger and have made it clear previously they do not want to let their star man go late in the window for fear of not being able to sign a replacement.

How To Improve The Focus of Your Media Pitch
By Tim Johnson
Pitching story ideas to media and influencers is one of those areas where if you ask 10 people about best practices, you’ll get 10 answers.
I developed my core pitch style based on an expert in a very different industry – recruiting. I’ve forgotten the book, but in a chapter on cover letters, the author stated the ideal cover letter should be organized as follows:
First sentence: Highlight one key achievement, including a stat, if possible.
Second sentence: Tell the recipient what you want him/her to do – take a call, accept an interview, etc.
Third and fourth sentences: Briefly provide additional background personalized to the recipient’s specific interest or real/perceived needs.
Fifth sentence: Thank the recipient in advance for any help he/she provides.
The emphasis was on brief, impactful, personalized. These qualities are exactly what an email, tweet or message should be when contacting media. I adapted the approach above and still use it in many cases. Here is one example of a pitch drafted for a former client (anonymized):
First sentence: Did you know the average person will spend 43 days of their life on hold?
Second sentence: I’d like to arrange a time for you to speak with __________, whose new service, __________, makes “on hold” go away for good.
Third and fourth sentences: Here’s how it works: create a __________ account and select the utility, government agency or other organization you need to call and provide days/times you’re available. __________ contacts the entity and instructs them to call you. It’s as easy as that. __________ takes the concept you discussed in your recent article on __________ and does it one better.
Fifth sentence: Please let me know when you’d have a few minutes to speak with __________. Thanks in advance,
Of course, there are many variations to this, but the core concept remains valid. Here are a few examples that have proven effective within the UPRAISE team:
- The “Your Recent Article on …” Pitch – Like all of us, media like to know that people actually read and respond to the articles they write. Drafting a headline and opening sentence that references a recent article they’ve written both lets them know we’ve read their articles and personalizes the pitch.
- The “Stats Overload” Pitch – This is especially effective when pitching results of a survey. Begin the pitch with the most impressive, frightening, outrageous stat to get the editor’s attention, then add 3-5 additional stats in the body of the pitch.
- The “Personal Experience” Pitch – It’s great when you’ve had a personal experience (like being on hold for 45 minutes) that lends itself to client work. Injecting that experience into a pitch can demonstrate authenticity and interest in the solution.
There is much more to effective media outreach than the pitch itself, subject lines, day of the week and time, level and intensity of follow up are just three additional variables. Stay tuned to hear more about UPRAISE’s approach to these and other aspects of media outreach.

Two men charged with offering money for the services of a prostitute were fined after pleading guilty in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday. The officer then directed the accused to a nearby alley location where other undercover officers arrested them. Both men had the option to select alternative measures and if they successfully completed it would have had their charges withdrawn. Abdullah Shajani, 62, of Calgary had his charge withdrawn when court heard he had completed alternative measures.

Brownell Talbot students will be assisting all weekend, nearly half the upper school are scheduled to help out.

Prizes include the chance to win a share of $4,000 cash along with 3D software, hardware and content prizes from industry sponsors including PolyCount, Allegorithmic, ZBrush, Marvelous Designer, Marmoset, HTC Vive and Noitom motion capture.
Reallusion and Polycount have announced the 2016 Game Character Design Contest aimed at all 3D artists, animators and game developers. Participants can enter any animatable humanoid character to compete against some of the best artists within the 3D animation community. Prizes include the chance to win a share of $4,000 cash along with great 3D hardware, software and content prizes. Industry sponsors include PolyCount, Allegorithmic, ZBrush, Marvelous Designer, Marmoset, HTC Vive and Noitom motion capture.
The Reallusion 3D Character Design Contest invites all artists to create their own 3D characters. These can be any fully rigged and animated, 3D humanoid (biped) characters. Participants need to submit a 30-second video to show the personality and detail of the character. The competition is open now, and closes on October 16, 2016.
“We are very proud to count on the support of such leading names from within the 3D industry for this year’s 3D Character Design Contest,” stated Reallusion CEO Charles Chen. “We feel that this is a real testament to the success of iClone and the recognition of the Character Creator Pipeline and what this program can achieve for developers and designers.”
Creating animatable 3D characters is often an enormous challenge that requires a multidisciplinary team skilled in modeling, sculpting, texture painting and skin rigging, not to mention proficient animation skills. The 2016 3D Character Design Contest aims at tackling this challenge by providing 3D artists with pre-rigged, universal morph-ready quad avatar designs that allow artists to turn their 3D sculptures into animatable 3D characters. These new characters are ready for thousands of motion assets, facial lip-syncs, look changes, body shape morphs, multi-layered outfits, and dynamic textures, all while be easily retargeted and exportable to external 3D tools.
The iClone Character Creator Pipeline saves users tons of time and effort, as it can be further exploited in conjunction with powerful 3D solutions from leading industry partners who have redefined the creative boundaries of 3D character design.
Additional contest sponsors include Renderosity.com, CGTrader.com, 3D.sk, Humster3D, Sketchfab. Media partners include Polycount.com, ArtStation.com and 3DTotal.com.

Interesting and I asked Henry from Work Cycles, our Go to Cargo Guy about it
Hard to say much based on a few minimally detailed CAD renderings.
It’s incredible how many people think there’s a big market for cargo bikes/trikes. A new contender shows up every couple weeks to grab a nice chunk of the 10k or sold per year in the western world.
I agree with Henry and would love to see Sanitov roll this bike out worldwide, but straight up the cargo market just isn’t that big, despite our enthusiam for it.

We Have A Pope! - Benedict XVI
By Matthew Bunson.
"After the great John Paul II, the cardinals elected me, a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord."
With those gentle words, Pope Benedict XVI greeted the faithful of Rome and the world as the Church’s 265th pope.
In selecting Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to lead the Church, the cardinals chose a man they had known well for many years, but one who remained relatively unknown to most of the world’s Catholics.
Now, noted Catholic author and historian Mathew E. Bunson, D.Min., provides a detailed portrait of Benedict XVI, introducing Catholics to a man of powerful intellect and confident faith.
It is also unique and informative about who was specifically in the "running" for the 265th election as Pope, with names and information about each and the process of the election. Also, there is a time line of Pope Benedict's life and what was happening in the world at that time. There are 17 pages of wonderful pictures of this Pope.
You can read in his own words why he chose the name Benedict, how he met John Paul II and why that Pope chose Cardinal Ratzinger to be Prefect of the Congregation for the Faith (for the next 24 years the cardinal had the tough job of dealing with the problems of the Church). Read about Benedict during the Nazi years, about this incredible theologian, writer, his contribution to the Second Vatican Council, and his faithfulness to the Church even against Marxism. You will want this for your permanent library.

Given the enormous responsibilities you face every day, what can you do to harness the strengths and benefits of technology and make your life easier? | <urn:uuid:21cf1e40-f8af-478b-b44f-912491e3f116> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cccsolutions.com/ | 2020-09-25T22:14:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.911054 | 206 |
Turning Big Data into Smart Data
The face of energy efficiency is changing. Yes, gains can still be made by installing energy saving appliances or purchasing energy efficient light bulbs. But taking a look at the third quarter deals in our Energy Efficiency sector, a new trend is slowly but steadily gaining traction. The power of information technology is profoundly reshaping the way producers and users consume energy. Instead of installing energy efficient light bulbs, companies are creating intelligent lighting systems that optimize energy usage. And as venture investors are becoming more hesitant to invest in companies that require a lot of start-up capital, the rise of demand response software is increasingly positioning energy efficiency as a low risk, capital lite investment. Among those capital efficient investments, we’re seeing a rise in intelligent analytic platforms that engage energy users and producers alike to capture energy savings. Taking a cue from “pure” tech companies specializing in data management and cloud computing software, cleantech is taking a go at making data more efficient. Especially with the hype surrounding smart grids, there will be no shortage of data to sift through. The focus now will be on companies that are turning real time data analytics into smart, actionable improvements that achieve energy reductions for their customers.
At the residential level, energy users have a breadth of consumer engagement platforms to choose from to help curb their energy usage. Building off the success companies like Opower have had with leveraging data and behavioral science, we’re seeing a host of new start-ups harnessing information technology to promote energy efficiency. Bidgely, which received $5 million from Khosla Ventures this summer, is one of them. The Sunnyvale, CA start-up uses a cloud based algorithm to collect real time feedback of energy usage at the appliance level to help consumers lower their energy bills. Bidgley provides highly personalized recommendations based off their appliance itemization as well as a social and demographic profile of the user.
Another cloud-based energy service provider, EcoFactor, made headlines yesterday for closing a $10 million round led by power company, NRG Energy. EcoFactor allows individuals to save energy and money through optimizing one of the largest energy sinks in the household: HVAC systems. Their predictive analytics algorithm is constantly making slight adjustments to your thermostat based on your preferences,anticipating changes in weather conditions and creating custom programs based on household energy usage.
Trove, a Florida based start-up, also falls into the category of companies embracing “intelligent efficiency”. The company received $1.1 million from CUBRC in August for their cloud based platform-as-a-service that provides energy data aggregation tools for utilities and software developers. Trove combines innovative data analytics with predictive data science to collect information on consumer energy usage and predict future consumer behavior. Big data in the utility sector is not a new concept; but now new technologies are giving us direct visibility into utility operations in real time and enhancing our decision making abilities when it comes to using energy more efficiently.
For the time being, demand response energy management systems are delivering the biggest bang for investors’ buck. Investors are increasingly wary of huge investments in hardware when Silicon Valley can make a surer bet on apps and dashboards. Optimization is critical in achieving energy efficiency, but time will tell if the companies listed above, as well as big names such as Opower and Nest, will truly bring in the big energy savings they claim to, or if they will eventually hit some theoretical energy savings threshold. | <urn:uuid:8651406c-b6e8-4397-aa88-e6348de8631f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cleantech.com/turning-big-data-into-smart-data/ | 2020-09-25T21:57:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.938495 | 715 |

There are a variety of different bedding/backfill materials available to suit the various circumstances of cable installation.
Geotherm specialise in the design of bedding/backfill materials and recommends the use of a flowable backfill/bedding material, specifically designed to meet thermal property requirements. This is sometimes known as Fluidise Thermal Backfill or Thermally Stable Backfill. These materials can achieve reliable Thermal Resistivity values when supplied and installed as specified.
Flowable thermal backfill is a concrete type product and can be supplied by most concrete companies once Geotherm has provided a mix design. It is typically quite fluid, having a relatively high slump, allowing it to readily flow around the cable/conduits. The backfill can be designed with variable slumps if required (on steep hills etc).
Like concrete, flowable backfill is delivered to site via concrete agitator trucks, and poured directly into the trench. Typically, no vibration is required due to its “flowability”.
Most flowable backfills are typically weak, less than 5mpa to allow easy access to the cable in the future, yet maintain the mechanical strength to protect the cable. It hardens quickly so that the ground surface may be reinstated the following day and provides support for underground and surface facilities (road pavement).
The thermal resistivity of the flowable backfill will depend on the mix constituents. The mix ingredients will depend on those available from the local quarries/batching plants to the area. It would not be very cost effective to import materials from far and wide. When selecting mix constituents for a flowable backfill design, it is important to consider the availability of those materials over the life of the project.
Various sand and stabilised sand (granular materials) can also be used as bedding/backfill. These materials are required to be compacted around the cable in layers, and must be installed at the specified moisture content and density as both test factors greatly affect the thermal resistivity readings. These granular type backfills require strict quality control to ensure the installation criteria are met, the thermal properties can change dramatically if they are not. | <urn:uuid:161ba31d-73b2-4a5b-a12d-47a2c20eea76> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.geothermaust.com.au/cable-backfill/ | 2020-09-25T22:54:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.906775 | 447 |
This is the Worst House 'Good Bones' Has Ever Tackled
Hoarded to the brim and so badly rotted out, even Mina and Karen couldn't save this Indy house filled with 'danger zones.'
We hinted to you recently that Mina Starsiak and Karen E Laine would be pulling out all of the stops for season three of Good Bones, and the first episode is no exception.
In a series first, Mina and her mom discover a property so bad, with so many “danger zones,” rotted out ceilings and standing water inside, that they have no choice but to tear it down. It’s quite the situation, considering how many seemingly impossible-to-save, fire-damaged, water-damaged and squatter-inhabited houses they’ve rescued over the years.
Mina calls the crumbling two-bedroom house in Indianapolis’ Bates-Hendricks neighborhood the scariest one on the street, with a kitchen that “looks like it’s melting,” rotted out ceilings and baby doll heads scattered throughout piles of hoarded junk in every corner. Because, of course.
Despite Karen’s initial protests during the walk-through — “We’ve had houses with holes in them before!” — they both agree it will be both easier and safer to start from scratch with a new build on the expansive lot. Mina’s plans for the new two-level digs pull out all the stops, especially after the team realizes it could be the perfect house for Mina’s longtime carriage house tenants who have been on the hunt for their dream “modern farmhouse” with a fireplace and enough space for their dog to roam.
One very large excavator, a little help from Mina’s newly promoted brother Tad and some very specific design features later — ahem, fireplace! — and we have a house again! Here’s a peek at the final product of the new build Mina and Karen created with their tenants in mind.
See all of the details of the finished house in the premiere episode of Good Bones season 3, airing Tuesday, April 10 at 9|8c. | <urn:uuid:419bead3-5536-4e06-92c1-42b9b81b9122> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.hgtv.com/shows/good-bones/articles/the-worst-house-good-bones-has-ever-tackled | 2020-09-25T23:16:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956794 | 463 |
Van der Valk Hotel ARA first opened its doors for hotel guests in 2002. Before then, the restaurant and adjacent banquet halls were known well regionally by the name “De Veerplaat”. De Veerplaat was opened as a brand new restaurant on April 28 1991 and was bought by the current owners in 1999. They immediately started working on the plans for a new Hotel and decided to name it Hotel ARA for its central location between metropolises Antwerpen, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Hotel ARA is uniquely located in a gorgeous natural area on the banks of the river Old Meuse. It is close to both historic Dordrecht and bustling Rotterdam.
Visiting Hotel ARA you will enter an oasis of tranquility and greenery.

Nutrition experts with the federal government have unveiled new criteria for ensuring that school-aged children across America receive their daily dose of vegetables while limiting the amount of food waste, and it comes in a clever little disguise.
Under the new regulations officially rolled out last week, the US Department of Agriculture now includes pasta made from 100 percent vegetable-based flour or “noodles” made from whole vegetables, like spiralized zucchini or sweet potatoes, to count toward a daily vegetable requirement. Officials say it puts control into the hands of school officials and allows for “common-sense flexibility” when it comes to serving food based on the needs of students.
“Our proposed changes empower schools to give their very best to our children nationwide and have the potential to benefit nearly 100,000 schools and institutions that feed 30 million children each school day through USDA’s school meal programs. Providing children with wholesome, nutritious food is part of our motto at USDA, which is to ‘do right and feed everyone,” said US Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue in a statement.
The proposed changes were first made in December 2018 and deliver on a May 2017 proclamation to address greater flexibility in meal planning and set out new standards for serving whole grain-rich foods, establishing reduced sodium levels in school meals, and offering milk at meals. At the time that the rule was first announced, the program allowed for schools to count pasta as a vegetable only if it was made with vegetable flour and served along with a recognizable vegetable.
“For example, bean pasta could credit as a vegetable if it was served with additional beans,” wrote the USDA.
Public commentators noted that school meals are “teaching tools for children and visually demonstrate how to build a healthy, balanced meal.” Visible vegetables on the tray help to create understanding, but others argue that presenting vegetables in alternative forms is an “innovative way to offer vegetables in a food item that is popular with children.”
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), which oversees child nutrition programs and co-develops the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, now allows pasta made of vegetable flour to count as a vegetable whether or not that pasta is served with another recognizable vegetable – a half-cup of pasta made of 100 percent vegetable flour counts as a half-cup serving of vegetables and credit towards that specific group. However, there are certain stipulations for pasta made of both vegetable and non-vegetable ingredients and the credit does not apply to grain-based pasta with a small amount of vegetable powder added for coloring.
“Schools and school districts continue to tell us that there is still too much food waste and that more common-sense flexibility is needed to provide students nutritious and appetizing meals. We listened and now we’re getting to work,” said Secretary Perdue. | <urn:uuid:2882a6a3-c6ff-4054-bedd-433d6f6e33ae> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/did-the-us-government-just-make-pasta-a-vegetable-under-school-lunch-guidelines/ | 2020-09-25T22:03:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.970357 | 590 |
artists & participants
K.Acker : The Office is a work platform from, by and through the fictional universes of author Kathy Acker. American jewish writer, close from William Burroughs, she strongly influenced as much openly as in a more underground manner many artists and authors of her generation, and certainly many others much closer from us. The exhibition Ruling ‘n’ Freaking, occurency of K.Acker : The Office, is conceived as a protocol of evocation intended to invoke different « voices » of Acker, building parallel realities around them. The artworks of the show catalyse the effective character of nowadays appropriation protocols operating in the field of contemporary art. They are the sensitive incarnations of the artist's interest for the forms of autofiction and fantasizing as vectors of a political reconfiguration of the real by its representations, and update Acker's problematics to nowadays concerns.

Mayer Brown, a leading global law firm, announced today that its equity partners have ratified the nomination of Herbert W. (Bert) Krueger as Chairman. He will succeed James D. Holzhauer, who announced his resignation in March, on June 1, 2009. The partnership also approved a new governance structure for the firm and the nominations of 11 additional partners to key leadership roles in the new structure.
Under the new governance structure, two groups will replace the current 16-member Policy & Planning (P&P) Committee: a Management Committee consisting of six members plus the chairman and a Partnership Board with 12 members plus the chairman.
“The changes approved today by the partnership mark a watershed for Mayer Brown,” Mr. Holzhauer said. “The Management Committee, which will have most of the authority now vested in P&P, will be the small, nimble group needed to respond quickly and decisively to changing market conditions and capitalize more fully on the inherent strengths of our global platform. The Partnership Board will ensure that the broader voice of the partnership is heard on key decisions including partner compensation and the selection of individuals for leadership roles. Together, they will provide a more effective and efficient approach to managing the firm.”
Mr. Krueger, 60, has spent virtually his entire career at Mayer Brown after joining the firm in 1975. Since 1989 he has served on the Policy & Planning Committee, the firm’s governing body, and currently chairs the Finance Committee. He is a nationally recognized advisor in ERISA fiduciary matters and executive compensation and also represents private equity fund sponsors and investors.
“Bert brings to his new role outstanding credentials as both a lawyer and leader of the firm,” Mr. Holzhauer said. “He consistently ranks among the top attorneys in the nation in his practice area, and his 20 years of service on P&P will assure strong, effective leadership through the transition to the new governance structure and a new generation of firm leaders.”
Mr. Krueger noted that the leadership transition has already begun, as six of the 11 partners chosen thus far to serve with him on the Management Committee and Partnership Board were not members of P&P. “They will bring fresh perspectives and new ideas to their leadership roles, which will complement the experience and insight of their colleagues who served on P&P. I look forward to working alongside them and the members yet to be chosen to determine how best to confront the challenges of today and capitalize on the opportunities of tomorrow.”
“I am grateful for the support of my partners and excited and energized by the opportunity they have given me,” he added. “Mayer Brown is a firm with a rich heritage of excellence and achievement, and I have no doubt that our best days are yet to come.”
Members of the Management Committee, in addition to Mr. Krueger, are:
- C. Cabell Chinnis, Jr., a partner in the Tax Controversy practice and Partner-In-Charge of the firm’s Palo Alto office;
- Sean Connolly, a partner in the Insurance & Reinsurance Industry Group and Senior Partner of the London Office;
- Paul A. Jorissen, a New York-based Firm Practice Leader of the Finance practice;
- Jean-Philippe Lambert, a partner in the International practice and Partner-in-Charge of the Paris office;
- Elaine Y.M. Lo, a Hong Kong-based partner in the Corporate & Securities practice and Chairman of the Asia Board; and
- Paul W. Theiss, a Chicago-based Firm Practice Leader of the Corporate & Securities practice.
Joining Mr. Krueger on the Partnership Board are:
- Jeremy Clay, a partner in the Real Estate practice in London;
- Carol A. Hitselberger, a partner in the Finance practice in Charlotte;
- Michele L. Odorizzi, a partner in the Litigation practice in Chicago;
- Jörg Wulfken, a partner in the Finance practice and Partner-in-Charge of the Frankfurt office.
The governance structure also makes provision for the Management Committee to appoint a managing partner. The Committee members have announced their intention to appoint Kenneth S. Geller to that role. Mr. Geller has served as Vice Chairman of the firm since June 2007 and is a partner in its Supreme Court & Appellate practice in Washington, D.C. As Managing Partner, he will serve on both the Management Committee and the Partnership Board.

Patna: Bihar’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – part of the coalition government in the state –is no longer comfortable with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is also the president of Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)]. The saffron party has started directly targeting him and his agenda in public to embarrass him and damage his image ahead of the 2020 state Assembly polls.
Experts believe that this is a part of BJP’s well-planned strategy to project itself as more suitable for the top post – chief minister – in the state.
“Nitish Kumar has occupied the chief minister’s chair for quite a long time. As votes are now garnered for the NDA in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he should vacate the CM’s chair for the BJP,” senior BJP leader Sanjay Paswan recently said.
Similar demand was put forth by BJP MLC Sachidanand Rai soon after Lok Sabha polls this year.
By demanding the chief minister post for the BJP, Paswan, who is a BJP MLC and is considered close to RSS, seems to have sent a political message – “Nitish magic”, which might have worked in the previous elections, appears to have been faded now.
“Nitish Kumar should play national politics in Delhi and hand over the state power-politics to senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi,” Paswan said.
Several BJP leaders have privately said that the ‘Nitish factor’ is not visible any more in the state. JD-U itself is banking heavily on the ‘Modi factor’, as Nitish Kumar, too, had promoted ‘brand Modi’ during 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “It benefited JD-U that won 16 of the 17 seats contested this time as an ally of BJP, unlike 2014 polls when it had won only two of the 30 seats contested in Bihar by itself,” a BJP leader said.
A BJP leader told NewsClick that Nitish Kumar’s popularity has declined; he is no longer a reliable face. His claim of ‘sushahan’ (good governance) has been punctured on account of collapse of the law and order in the state and his political credibility is at an all-time low, said the leader.
“BJP cannot trust him, nor the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Nitish Kumar’s political credibility was badly damaged after he dumped RJD and once again joined hands with the BJP to form the government in July 2017. He is with us, but opposes [abrogation of] Article 370, Triple Talaq and NRC,” said the BJP leader while speaking to NewsClick.
Giriraj Singh, a vocal champion of Hindutva politics, has publicly attacked JD-U and Nitish Kumar for opposing abrogation of Article 370,Triple Talaq and NRC. He also questioned Nitish Kumar on Monday for his statement that the mineral-rich Jharkhand, ruled by BJP, has failed to achieve desired development.
A fortnight after Lok Sabha polls, supporters of Singh, who had won from the Begusarai seat, raised slogans – demanding that he be the next chief minister of Bihar. It was alarming for the present CM ahead of next year state Assembly polls.
Additionally, what has hurt BJP is that JD-U will be contesting Jharkhand Assembly polls against the BJP and the party has already started targeting the saffron party. JD-U is also contesting Assembly polls in Haryana and in Delhi alone – which has not gone down well with the national leadership of the BJP.
On the other hand, JD-U leaders have strongly reacted to Paswan’s statement, saying that the CM did not need a certificate from Paswan. “Nitish Kumar is the chief minister and he will remain so after the 2020 polls. There is no vacancy. He enjoys support and blessings of the people. It is known to all,” claimed JD-U leader Nikhil Mandal.
JD-U spokesperson Sanjay Singh told NewsClick here that there is no alternative to Nitish Kumar. “BJP had tasted humiliating defeat in 2015 Bihar Assembly polls by contesting without Nitish Kumar. People have faith in the CM to deliver on promises made to them, unlike others,” he said.
The tussle between the two ruling parties was visibly fuelled in July when the BJP leaders including MLAs opposed the Nitish Kumar government’s order to gather detailed information on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders and its subsidiary outfits.
It was reported earlier that the special branch of Bihar police was directed to gather detailed information about the state functionaries of the RSS and its 18 subsidiary outfits including Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal. This letter was issued by the special branch on May 28, two days before the swearing in of the Narendra Modi Cabinet. BJP leaders had expressed surprise over the order and had opposed this action.
However, in May, JD(U) had refused to join the Union Cabinet for being offered just symbolic representation. After being left high and dry by the top BJP leadership, Nitish Kumar had expanded his cabinet by inducting eight ministers from his party while not including any BJP leader. He later claimed that the BJP was offered a few positions on which the party was expected to take a decision later.
In the past three months, a few senior BJP leaders have questioned Nitish Kumar over deteriorating law and order situation in the state and had embarrassed him by pointing to the failure of the government in connection with the death of over 150 children reportedly from Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in Muzaffarpur.
In this backdrop, it is widely being discussed in the political circles that the BJP has had enough of Nitish Kumar. BJP leaders also claim that the party is stronger in the state and enjoys overwhelming support from the upper castes, OBCs and EBCs that were once loyal to Nitish Kumar.
According to political experts, BJP had used the ‘brand Nitish’ to fight against RJD since the mid-1990s till early 2000s.The BJP had projected a clean image of Nitish Kumar as a suitable face for the post of the chief minister in the 2005 Assembly polls and it had clicked.
It has become a thing of past now, and the saffron party seems eager to promote its own chief ministerial face during the upcoming elections.

In November of last year, the multi-billion dollar lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret came under fire after blatant fatphobia and transphobia. When asked why Victoria’s Secret does not include transgender or plus-size models in their annual televised fashion show, the company’s chief marketing officer Ed Razek stated, “No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy… We attempted to do a television special for plus-sizes [in 2000]. No one had any interest in it, still don’t.”
According to Razek, plus-size women cannot be sexy and fulfill the “fantasy” Victoria’s Secret is trying to promote, even though the company still sells bras up to size DDD. Victoria’s Secret will take the money of plus-size women, even though it doesn’t respect them.
In order to combat the global outcry against the brand’s lack of inclusivity, Victoria’s Secret recently started a body positive campaign titled “#loveyourself” with British lingerie firm Bluebella. The new project features a single plus-size model, Ali Tate Cutler. Cutler is a size-14–over ⅔ of American women are a size-14 or above.
This is the first problem; size-14 should not be considered “plus-size” when it accounts for the majority of women in America. The term “plus-size” indicates a deviance from the norm, making women think they are larger than the rest of the population, when they are actually average.
However, the worst offense is that Victoria’s Secret is taking all the credit. Cutler said, “I feel like they [Victoria’s Secret] are headed in the right direction and they are listening to their audience who have requested to see more women of diverse shapes and sizes,” and other publications have praised the company for the #loveyourself campaign. The problem is Cutler is not actually employed by Victoria’s Secret, but by Bluebella.
Victoria’s Secret, with its well-known history of putting women down because of their weight, needs to do more to contribute to the body positive movement than work with a single plus-size model they did not even hire. | <urn:uuid:a80619e6-acd9-4c70-bfbb-4ded5484d86f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.newyorkminutemag.com/victorias-secret-plus-size-model/ | 2020-09-25T23:04:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.941114 | 497 |
Endress+Hauser’s plug-and-play flowmeter for utilities
Simple, reliable and maintenance-free instruments that combine high performance with a compact envelope are becoming increasingly more commonplace in industrial process measurement applications. With their Picomag flowmeter, Endress+Hauser has developed a smart plug-and-play solution designed specifically with utilities in mind. Read on to find out more about the Endress+Hauser Picomag.
Not only does Endress+Hauser’s Picomag flowmeter measure the flow of conductive fluids, but also their temperature and conductivity. It also offers easy commissioning with Bluetooth using its SmartBlue App, as well as seamless system integration thanks to IO-Link technology. All of which makes Picomag well and truly ready for Industry 4.0.
Features and benefits of the Endress+Hauser Picomag
Due to its compact design, Picomag can be installed into any pipe up to 50 millimetres (2") in diameter, even in confined spaces. There are various process connections available, such as NPT-thread, R-thread, internal thread, Tri-Clamp or Victaulic.
Picomag is a cost-optimised solution for applications where the focus is on high repeatability (±0.2% o.f.s.) and thus reliable measured values. For instance, for correctly measuring water flows or for minimising energy costs in utility applications.
Further features and benefits include:
- Reliable measuring and monitoring of industrial water, cooling water or warm water.
- Requires no inlet and outlet runs and thus can be mounted directly before or after a pipe bend.
- Simultaneous measurement of flow, temperature and conductivity.
- Time-saving device configuration, even in difficult to reach places, thanks to Bluetooth connectivity.
- Wireless and secure access to all device data by use of the intuitive SmartBlue App via Bluetooth.
- Flexible integration into all established Fieldbus systems via IO-Link.
- User-friendly, auto-rotatable display, with automatic adjustment to the mounting position.
Advanced display and Bluetooth connection
The large, user-friendly display allows a quick reading of flow, temperature and totaliser values. Errors occurring during operations, for example, a partial pipe filling or an exceeded temperature limit, are displayed via diagnostic symbols in accordance with NAMUR recommendation NE107. For optimal readability, the screen rotates automatically depending on the installation position. Configuration parameters can be called up and monitored by simply knocking on the device.
With Bluetooth connection, it is possible to carry out wireless configuration or data retrieval over a distance of 10 metres – even at installation sites that are difficult to access. The free-of-charge SmartBlue App from Endress+Hauser, which is available for Android and iOS devices, provides the user with quick and easy navigation through all device and diagnostic functions.
IO-Link data transmission
Another highlight is the digital data transmission to process control systems via IO-Link technology. This communication standard can be combined with all conventional Fieldbus systems, thus offering maximum flexibility of installation into existing infrastructures.
The IO-Link master allows comprehensive data access through the control room. Other advantages include the automatic transfer of parameters after a device replacement as well as low wiring effort as compared to conventional wiring.

Years ago, you and your spouse passed on executing a prenuptial agreement prior to your marriage. You’re not alone. Many about-to-marry couples in Georgia similarly balk at signing such a contract. Truth be told, many soon-to-be newlyweds hesitate to even broach the subject of a marital contract, thinking it might poison their future marriage.
However, interestingly, some of those same couples find that they are willing to revisit the subject after a few years of married life. That happens for many reasons, including:
- The topic might simply seem less taboo after a period of time passes.
- Couples who are content with their relationship still may want to discuss what might go into a marital contract.
- Some might simply have a newly realized appreciation for the utility of such an agreement as a planning vehicle.
What is a postnuptial agreement?
For those without a prenuptial agreement, there are still options even after saying “I do.” A postnuptial agreement is a document that some couples execute following, rather than prior to, their marriage. In many ways, a postnuptial agreement is closely similar to a premarital contract. It can be of special utility in a number of instances, such as when one or both partners in a subsequent marriage have children from a previous relationship, or when significant assets accrue during a marriage, including inheritances.
Is such an agreement right for you?
Of course, that depends on many things, with your personal situation entailing unique considerations. It can be helpful to consider the value that a postnuptial agreement, or prenuptial agreement for those about to be married, may have in a future divorce.
While no one wants to “plan” for divorce, having a marital agreement in place specifying who would get what can be a very useful tool for gaining peace of mind despite the stress of change. With divorce rates high and many people marrying later in life, the role these agreements play concerning the financial aspects of marriage continues to increase.
Consider discussing your situation with a professional
For many couples, the difficulty of breaking up may be not so much the emotions as the nuts and bolts, such as property arrangements. It can be stressful to go through the property division process. This is true whether it involves high-asset divorce in Atlanta or any other type of divorce elsewhere in Georgia.
A proven family law attorney with experience helping clients negotiate and draft marital contracts can answer questions regarding postnuptial agreements, including whether they are enforceable in a given jurisdiction and, if so, what they can and cannot address. | <urn:uuid:cff99545-ba64-4ed8-9e43-23f8c1d6b651> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.siemonlawfirm.com/blog/2015/04/what-is-a-postnuptial-agreement-might-it-make-sense-for-you/ | 2020-09-25T23:24:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956714 | 548 |
Hiking is a physical activity. It is essential to understand your capabilities when engaging in hiking activity. The best advice is start with easier and shorter hikes to create a foundation and then build on it. This approach allows you to gain an understanding of what you want to accomplish from hiking before buying a lot of gear that you will never use or didn’t need.
You need to consider where you will be hiking. Gain an understanding of the available trails and their level of difficulty. This depends on where you live and the existing hiking opportunities. An internet search will uncover some possibilities. Gather information on local hikes and then gain a comfort level with easier trails to develop a feel for hiking them.
This is a sensible approach versus deciding to hike a difficult trail in some distant location. This process enables you to develop an understanding of the area and gain familiarity with the hiking trails. You should know where you are hiking to and how to get back to your vehicle. You should have someone to hike with even on the easiest trails so you’re not hiking alone.
Two things come to mind when considering hiking basics. These are have adequate water and good hiking boots. I frequently see people hiking without an adequate supply of water. Things can happen on easy trails so it is better to have excess water than not enough. There are all sorts of water bottles and water hydration systems. The key is having adequate water regardless of how you carry it. After you develop some experience you will better understanding the water system that is right for you.
I recommend getting a hiking boot that fits and is comfortable on your feet. If possible purchase boots from a source where they can be returned if the fit and comfort level isn’t right. I went through some boots until I found what was right for me. Having happy feet is important and it is worth the extra expense to get boots that allow you to hike in comfort.
You’ll likely want to get a back pack to carry water, an extra jacket, snacks, and other gear such as a first aid kit. Again, we started with smaller less expensive packs until we gained experience to determine what we wanted in a pack. Many people utilize fanny packs that can carry the basics as well as water bottles.
Another basic of hiking are trekking poles. They are an essential aid to more efficient hiking. Plus they can help out in multiple situations such as going up or down steep hills or embankments. They can also be helpful in crossing streams and just stabilizing your balance when you need some help.
If you going to hike, I think it is essential to be capable of reading a map. In addition, it is essential to have a compass and know how to use. I have developed a survival kit that contains a lighter (fire starter), a knife, duct tape, a head lamp, and a bevy that will keep me warm should I get stranded.
I carry emergency snacks, ibuprofen tablets, antihistamine tablets, a short section of rope, and a whistle. I have a smaller and light weight hiking camera, a light weight wind jacket, and a GPS unit with extra batteries. Finally, I carry a map of the area in which I am hiking and perhaps a detailed description of the trail I’m hiking.
Learn to hike within your capability and be sensible on your selection of trails. Hike with other people and not alone. | <urn:uuid:42528abc-e607-41f9-9361-94e618ec338c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thenorthrups.com/hiking/hiking-tips/ | 2020-09-25T23:55:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96229 | 698 |
Munk School director thrilled to return to alma mater as first non-British vice-chancellor
Professor Stephen Toope, director of the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, has been nominated as the 346th vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge.
Subject to the approval of the university’s governing body, Toope will become vice-chancellor on October 1, 2017, succeeding Sir Leszek Borysiewicz. He is believed to be the first non-Briton to serve as head of Cambridge in the institution’s 800-year history.
“I am thrilled to be returning to Cambridge,” said Toope, who earned a PhD from Cambridge in 1987. “I look forward to working with staff and students in the pursuit of academic excellence and tremendous international engagement – the very mark of Cambridge.”
U of T President Meric Gertler said he was delighted to see Toope’s accomplishments recognized.
“While we are very sorry to be losing him, this is a great honour and tremendous opportunity that reflects the depth of Professor Toope’s scholarship and the strength of his academic leadership,” said Gertler.
“During Stephen’s tenure as director, the Munk School has continued to enhance its reputation as one of the world’s leading institutions of global affairs, culminating in its admission to the elite Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs. We are proud to know that one of our most distinguished leaders will soon be leading one of the world’s great universities.”
Toope was chosen after an international search led by Ian White, Master of Cambridge’s Jesus College.
“Professor Toope has impeccable academic credentials, a longstanding involvement with higher education, strong leadership experience and an excellent research background,” White said.
Borysiewicz agreed. “We are delighted to be welcoming a distinguished leader with such an outstanding record as a scholar and educator to lead Cambridge.”
Toope told U of T News he had mixed feelings about the appointment, as it meant he would be leaving the Munk School and U of T.
“I really enjoy being here at the Munk School. Both the School and the University of Toronto have been tremendous to me. I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done in trying to articulate more clearly the purpose and aspirations of the Munk School.”
Professor David Cameron, dean of U of T’s Faculty of Arts & Science, said he was pleased that Toope will continue to lead the Munk School for another year before heading to Cambridge.
“In the short time that Stephen Toope has been at U of T, we have benefited greatly from his academic leadership, and I am glad that we will have another year of what my kids would call his ‘quality time’,” Cameron said. “While we will be sorry indeed to see him go, we are happy to be able to contribute, through Stephen, to the global world of higher education.”
Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world. It consists of 31 constituent colleges with 18,000 students from all cultures and corners of the world. Cambridge consistently ranks as one of the world's best universities, placing fourth globally in the recent Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Its scholars and alumni include Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, John Maynard Keynes, Sylvia Plath, John Cleese, E.M. Forster, Oliver Cromwell, the Prince of Wales, and former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Besides his PhD from Cambridge, Toope also has degrees in common law and civil law from McGill University, and graduated magna cum laude with his AB in History and Literature from Harvard University (1979).
He was president and vice-chancellor of the University of British Columbia from 2006-14. Previously, he served as president of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, and dean of Law at McGill University.
Toope has a distinguished academic law career. He publishes in leading international journals on international dispute resolution, international environmental law, human rights, the use of force, and international legal theory, and has lectured at leading universities around the globe.
He has served the public in many roles, including as chair of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances, as fact-finder for the Commission of Inquiry into the Actions of Canadian Government Officials in relation to Maher Arar, as a member of the Commonwealth Group of Experts, Consultation on the Constitution of Sri Lanka, and as research director, Office of the Special Representative concerning the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples.
In recognition of his service and accomplishments, in 2015 Toope was inducted as an Officer of the Order of Canada and received honorary degrees from both the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia. He has also been awarded the President’s Award of Distinction for the United Way of Canada (2014), the John Read Medal of the Canadian Council of International Law (2015) and the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal (2012).
U of T News reporter Terry Lavender sat down with Stephen Toope to discuss the news of his nomination as vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge.
How did you feel when you heard you were nominated to be vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge?
I was completely surprised. I didn’t know that there was actually a search going on. It was completely out of the blue.
How did your family react?
I have three kids who are going to be in Canada for the foreseeable future. We’re going to have to make that work. They’re all very supportive and encouraging but I think they also recognize there will be some complexities with North Atlantic travel.
In 2012, Mark Carney, head of the Bank of Canada, was chosen to head the Bank of England. And now you’ve been chosen to lead the University of Cambridge.
The head of the Royal Mail [Moya Greene] is a Canadian as well, so there are a few Canadians floating around in prominent roles in England!
Will you be calling on Mark for advice?
Luckily I do know Mark, and I probably will actually call upon him for advice about deeper understandings of British society.
You did your PhD at Cambridge. Are you looking forward to going back?
That’s part of the excitement for me. I had a wonderful time when I was at Cambridge. It was extremely rewarding and the university’s ability to attract people from all around the globe was apparent every day. So that part of this opportunity is very encouraging and exciting.
You’ve been a university president before. How do you think heading Cambridge will compare to being president of UBC?
Every university has similarities and strong differences. Obviously, the basic functions are similar. The impulse towards knowledge through research, learning and teaching is very present in all institutions, but the particular ways that that impulse expresses itself are quite unique. So I suspect that there will be things that seem very familiar and there will be things that seem very new. I’m going to have to be very adept at listening and making sure that I understand before trying to weigh in too quickly with suggestions.
Will there be a transition?
I certainly will talk with the outgoing vice-chancellor, I’m sure quite often, and I certainly will want to learn from him. He’s very distinguished and I think he’s been an excellent vice-chancellor, so I will have much to learn.
What are you most proud of during your time at Munk School?
I really enjoy being here at the Munk School. Both the School and the University of Toronto have been tremendous to me. I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done in trying to articulate more clearly the purpose and aspirations of the Munk School through a planning exercise that we undertook. So we now have a plan for the future of the Munk School. We have had a couple of curriculum reviews as a result of that. We now have a review of the curriculum of the Masters of Global Affairs program, which will continue.
I should say that I’m here for another year. I don’t start until October or maybe sometime in September of 2017, and I will be 100 percent engaged in the affairs of the Munk School for that time. | <urn:uuid:6ef3a831-5203-4c93-8447-e5262b949f4d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.utoronto.ca/news/toope-cambridge | 2020-09-26T00:15:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.972901 | 1,771 |
I was asked by my teacher to do this senior memory thing. flashback is one of them, where I could relive a day of my life. this is one of the few stories that define who I am and what I belive in.
Flashback Back in Mexico, I used to have a friend by the name of Sara. Although, there were many kids, she was my first best friend. It was never awkward between me and her, we were young and and all we knew back then was friendship. We lived on a road named Tepeguahe, a little strip of land in the middle of nowhere, a few miles off El Rio Grande. Just about all the adults when to work, and so we would do what we wanted. We used to love going to the river to swim and play in the sand. Sometimes we would go there in groups with the rest of the kids, but most of the time we would go by ourself. If I could relive a day it would be one of those, or better yet, the last day I saw her smile . There wassent anything different that day, but it all changed so quick. We were swimming, but not swimming. It was strange, we were moving the opposite direction. I was taller, so I frantically kicked at the mud. I remember reaching back to grab her, but our hands didn't touch. I remember her scream my name, I remember her scream my name. I made it to the banks and looked back, she wassen’t there, but I saw something else. A hole, a gap in the water, spiraling around like a flower, a vortex of death. A few years passed and like any other gullible child I prayed at night. I would always include Sara in my prayers and hoped that she was doing alright. But there was one night I couldn't sleep, that night I ran outside until I fell from exhaustion. There I got on my knees and punched the rocks with all I had. My feet bare, my knuckles torn, I got on my back and looked up. That night it had hit me like a slap to the face, a single thought that filled me with rage, “why din't God save her that day”. I layed on my back for a while, before I noticed the stars, so distant. Maybe God was like that, a simple idea in the back of our minds, a useless thought. So yes, if I could relive a day, I would go back to the river and stop myself, maybe then I would still belive in lies. | <urn:uuid:53b09bd4-4d3f-46e5-8be2-ce69fe536ba0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.vingle.net/posts/1594283 | 2020-09-25T23:47:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.990556 | 533 |

When you’re trying to be eco-friendly with your home, there are many options for you to choose from. You can even be eco-friendly in your holiday gift giving and décor. It is easier than you may think to be green and have a great holiday season. Below you’ll find five different items that are must-have when it comes to eco-friendly holidays at home.
One great way to not only be conscious at home but in your gift giving as well is with custom bags. These can be purchased to have a specific message for your gift recipient or just have a beautiful design on them. Not only are they great to hold your gifts, but the person you give it to can also then use it in other ways. They can use the bag for grocery shopping, trips to the library, and so much more.
The beautiful holiday lights are certainly a tradition for most homes throughout the world. They are lovely to look at, inspire hope and joy and are a great way to share the holiday spirit. However, they are also a huge drain on the power system every year. One way to have that holiday festive spirit but still be eco-friendly is by using LED lights on your home. These take much less energy than traditional holiday lights do and are beautiful and bright.
When it comes to a holiday tree, you may think artificial is better. However, purchasing an actual tree is much preferred to fake trees because of the carbon footprint those artificial items leave. They have to be manufactured, shipped, and then disposed of when they are no longer being used. A real tree can be composted to help the environment after the holiday season. Plus, you get to enjoy the lovely smell while you have a live tree in your home!
Make Your Wrapping Paper
This is not only eco-friendly but fun as well! Create your own gift wrapping this year or go without it. Either way, this is a fun experience for the entire family. You can create a fun design for each person you’re giving gifts to. They can have their own unique style so that nametags aren’t even needed.
While buying gifts is exciting, making gifts can be even more fun. There are plenty of crafty items around your home that you can experiment with. You can even purchase items from your local craft store to consider making gifts such as soaps, lotions, candles, and other items. These not only help to reduce the purchasing you’re doing; they are gifts that can be used up and not leave a footprint behind.
There are many ways of making sure you have an eco-friendly holiday in your home. From making gifts to purchasing a real tree, you can have an enjoyable holiday without adding damage to the world around you. Encourage those who are coming to visit to do the same. It can be an exciting, green holiday for all who attend your home or party this year. | <urn:uuid:1282e400-6b73-4a84-8784-e2365edc0df8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.worldmeeting2015.org/home-garden/5-must-have-eco-friendly-holiday-items/ | 2020-09-25T22:34:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96412 | 602 |
The most dangerous people in a survival situation is the gang of outlaws who only want to take what they need and don’t care about what happens to the owner(s). The hardest to know what to do with, and for, is the individual (person or family) who has done nothing to prepare for emergencies or disaster. It’s hard to want to help someone who does not, and will not, help themselves. But it’s endemic to our society – it’s all about big brother taking care of you, or “the government” being your friend. It’s about entitlement. It’s about not caring about other people, only yourself/family. They are the 2 true dangers to preppers.
Double stitching, ventilated, breathable mesh and durable cord pulls are the order day with the Reebow Gear backpack. It’s all about utility which makes it an ideal piece of wilderness survival kit. Most everything that’s been included in this survival gear list will fit easily into or onto this survival backpack and still leave plenty of room for essentials like food, extra clothing and first aid materials. It shouldn’t be confused with a heavy duty mountaineering backpack. But it is perfect for those long weekends in the backcountry tracking elk or cross-country skiing. Best of all you can have it for a virtual song. Essential survival gear at an affordable price.
Survivalists maintain their group identity by using specialized terminology not generally understood outside their circles. They often use military acronyms such as OPSEC and SOP, as well as terminology common among adherents to gun culture or the peak oil scenario. They also use terms that are unique to their own survivalist groups; common acronyms include:
Not taking a cheap shot at the author, but wouldn’t the author fall into 1 or 2 of these categories? I think the human character of every individual harbors a little bit of all or several of these. Most, if not 100% of anyone prepping has in their specific individual plan – their family members. Each family member brings their own set of considerations (assets & liabilities) to the table.

Survivalists' concerns and preparations have changed over the years. During the 1970s, fears were economic collapse, hyperinflation, and famine. Preparations included food storage and survival retreats in the country which could be farmed. Some survivalists stockpiled precious metals and barterable goods (such as common-caliber ammunition) because they assumed that paper currency would become worthless. During the early 1980s, nuclear war became a common fear, and some survivalists constructed fallout shelters. | <urn:uuid:309fe36d-18bb-41cc-a674-de0a88da94b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://yatoo-dz.com/Preppers2/preppers-market-new-doomsday.html | 2020-09-25T21:36:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228998.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925213517-20200926003517-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.95985 | 744 |

inhibition defined in 1951 yearinhibition - inhibition;
inhibition - (Nervous). Prevention, as a result of the influence of nerve impulses, of activation of an effector. May occur in central nervous system: e.g. when a muscle is stimulated by its motor nerve-fibres to contract, the tonus of antagonistic muscles is simultaneously relaxed by inhibition of their motor nerve-cells (reciprocal inhibition); or a reflex can be inhibited by stimulating both the sensory nerve-fibres of the reflex and certain other sensory nerve-fibres at the same time. Such central inhibition is one of the most important ways in which the central nervous system produces its flexible control of activities, by preventing action of effectors in unsuitable circumstances. In Crustacea peripheral inhibition occurs, special inhibitory nerve-fibres as well as excitatory ones running to the muscles. Similar peripheral inhibition occurs in autonomic system of vertebrates, e.g. vagus nerve inhibits heart beat, sympathetic stimulates it.

On January 22, 2011, I gave birth to my second baby, Samara. There was no question in my mind that I was going to breast feed. I nursed my son, Ari, now 3 1/2 years old, for 13 months, and I planned on doing the same for Samara. With both babies, I wanted the freedom to leave them with Wil or my parents, so I knew that owning a breast pump was essential.
For those of you who have pumped breast milk with an an electric pump, you know how tricky it can be. I remember pumping for Ari and I was totally uncoordinated. I would hold the pumps in place, my hands would get tired, it was really aggravating. That’s why, when Danielle @ Momotics announced that she was giving away a Simple Wishes Pumping Bra on her Virtual Baby Shower, I was (pun intended) pumped! Sorry guys, I had to!
I entered Danielle’s giveaway for the pumping bra. I didn’t think I’d win. So I was completely shocked when I got an email from her telling me that I won the bra! Hooray!
Here’s what The Simple Wishes Pumping Bra looks like:
This picture is from The Simple Wishes PR folk. I wish I had this woman’s abs.
Danielle, thank you woman! You seriously rock. I love this bra. It makes pumping so much easier than it used to be.
Don’t believe me? You’re probably thinking: “you’re just saying that because you won it. ” No people! I really love this bra.
When I realized how much I loved The Simple Wishes Pumping Bra, I wrote to their PR people and asked if they would allow me to give away one of their bras away on OS/NS Mom. Guess what? They said yes! Do you want to win this bra? You know you do.
Each one of these counts as an entry. Post a comment indicating which of these you’ve done:
1. Like Simple Wishes on Facebook
2. Follow Simple Wishes on Twitter
3. Follow Old School/New School Mom on Google Friend Connect
4. Like Old School/New School Mom on Facebook
5. Post a comment here about why you think you would love this bra!
The winner of the giveaway will be chosen randomly and announced on here on Wednesday 11/2/11. Hopefully you’ll love the bra as much as I do!

I'm not super nervous. ugh. What if the chemistry that's so strong with
our clothes on leaves with our clothes?
Whatever chemical this is, you should bottle it.
One of my partners likes to say: chemistry is not something you "have"; rather, chemistry is something you "find."
Meaning, you have to work for it. Every time.
I'm agreeing with pandora there.
Sometimes, the potency of the chemistry makes you do stupid things. Other times, nothing could make it work... or if there is something, it requires an effort beyond recommendation.
You're both reacting to a related assertion, but it's not exactly the assertion I was making. So let me try again.
In my experience, you can get with the *most* *attractive* *partner* in the world--yet the chemistry might be smoking hot your first time with them, but then you have problems with arousal the second time you get together with them. So it ends up requiring patience and work and conscious effort to keep things from getting stale and boring. Even when the chemistry is there.
Sometimes we all have days when we're just not in the mood--at least those of us who are not all the way at the right hand side of the asexual/sexual spectrum. Or sometimes we have days when we drank too much...
Or for some of us, myself included, we're at some level turned on by novelty or turned on by taboo, and those can be fetishy things that stop working for us after a while, or even, like only work the first time.
I've been in a relationship for 11 years now. I'm not sure I know any couple who's been together that long that's just as sexual as when they first met... (ahem, show of hands?)
(And said 11-year relatioship was never really primarily about sex in the first place, but that's another discussion for another post)
2019-01-29 08:20 from pandora
I'm not buying that. If the chemistry isn't there they can work for it
and it ain't gonna happen.
So what the fuck do we all do when we're old and wrinkled and we don't turn each other on like we used to. There's got to be a way to make things work when the chemistry is no longer what it once was. Because the alternative is, to me, unacceptable.
To put it another way there's chemistry and chemistry, you have to work for the latter.
Over times, the levels differ and mix interestingly.
I'm talking actualy physical chemistry. Like the person might not even
look physically atttractive to you, but your hormones and theirs match
so well that you just cna't help having amazing sex.
I wonder if that happens when two people have a high degree of genetic compatibility and are likely to produce strong healthy offspring.
Really though, you should sit down and draw a bunch of Punnett squares before mating.
Really though, you should sit down and draw a bunch of Punnett squares
My compatibility matrix is complexifying out into more and more sub-dimensions over time :-/
My wife and I are approaching 50 and have been together for about 33 years. Neither of us are what we used to be, but apparently I still wear wife goggles, as our sex life the last few years has reached new heights. We still both agree I need a second wife, preferably an Amish girl who wants to go English but thinks Rumspringa is too degenerate.
"wife goggles" :-D
Just remember, the more she drinks, the better you look ;)
New Years Resolution #2: continue to practice zero-tolerance for the cyber-bullying that's been coming at me from certain quarters.
Even if it means ending my relationship (which, technically speaking, I literally just did last night; "you are dead to me"; "stop harassing my friends"; "if you f* with my friends, you f* with me."
There's truth in that, but there have been lots of shitty ways to continue this relationship and none of them were coming from me.
What you're objecting to is the "don't say it if you don't mean it", aspect of all this, but that's what I've been getting from her, over and over again. Bad faith communication. | <urn:uuid:b465e214-7938-42fd-83a8-022b58691f15> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://uncensored.citadel.org/readfwd?go=Relationships%20and%20Sex?start_reading_at=4405647 | 2020-09-27T07:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96384 | 918 |

Kanye West’s Coachella Easter Sunday service has been a highly talked about affair. Now as rumors escalate that the rapper is thinking of opening his own church, grass from his holiday service is being sold on eBay.
No that is a joke, various sellers have “Holy Grass” and are selling it to the highest bidder.
Those who were unable to make it out to the desert last weekend to attend Yeezy’s spiritual ceremony can now own a piece of it, for the right price of course. Oh, yes everything does have a price, and anything can be sold as long as a famous name is attached to the product.
— HYPEBEAST Music (@hypebeastmusic) April 26, 2019
One festival-goer is proving even a simple product, like a bag of grass, can be sold when the right name is attached to it. People magazine was first to break the story that two bags of grass from Wests’ high-profile church service are up for grabs for a whopping $65 a pack. Yes, blades of grass that Kim Kardashian and her famous husband walked on can be yours.
However, after looking closer at eBay, it appears more bags of grass have been put up for auction on the site. Prices range from starting auction bids at $20 to buy it now at $170. All of the descriptions are clear the grass came the famous Sunday ceremony. However, some of the bags are listed as new, and others are listed as preowned.
There is no actual proof these bags of grass are from Kanye West Coachella Easter Sunday services last weekend. Each listing has a picture of a pack of grass being held up at what appears to be the service but can’t be confirmed. As of right now there seems to be very little interest in the product, but there are still days left on all listings, so that could change.
West has been garnering a lot of attention since he started his musical and spiritual ceremonies every Sunday. Some attendees have reported there is now merchandise available for purchase at the services.
Items such as socks for $50 and sweatshirts for $225 designed specifically for his church are being sold. The merchandise has caused an uproar with fans who are angry at the rapper for putting such a hefty price on what is supposed to be spiritual merchandise.

Michael Drummond Considers Humanity’s Next Move in ‘Being Played’
Walking into St. Louis designer and Project Runway alum Michael Drummond’s new exhibit, “Being Played,” the eye is drawn to a collection of iconographic, dramatically dressed figures in the center of the room. But off in the perimeter, almost in shadow, is a powerfully prescient blink-and-you’d-miss-it moment: a necklace inspired by Victorian hairwork, containing not a lost love’s lock of hair, but instead a strand from a woolly mammoth, frozen in resin. Drummond explains that mammoth hair, surprisingly, isn’t difficult to source—in 2019 it’s more accessible than ever due to the melting of the permafrost revealing creatures that have long been kept hidden away from us.
In a way, it’s the perfect encapsulation of Drummond’s collection, created for the World Chess Hall of Fame—a show that ambitiously but successfully weaves together themes of chess, fashion, climate change and Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Each piece in the exhibit, whether a wearable look or an art object, is readily recognizable as the sort of high-octane fashion armor one might expect from a studious admirer of Alexander McQueen.
But less apparent is where—and when—these pieces might exist. Are we in the future, as Drummond’s references to Kubrick might suggest? Or in the past? Meandering through the exhibit, Drummond jumps from discussing The Big Bang to an apocalyptic, post-global-climate-crisis landscape. (The images, when removed of context, are not dissimilar.) At first glance, mammoth hair suspended in resin suggests being frozen once again. But the mere fact of its presence here, in this room in St. Louis, is evidence of the extent that climate change has already demolished that dream. (Drummond says he purchased his mammoth hair on eBay.)
This tension permeates the exhibit—a sort of push and pull that will be recognizable to chess players. Cause invariably leads to effect, even if one can’t see the whole board at the moment. A symbol of an earlier climate change event itself, the mammoth hair only becomes available to us once our current climate change has reached crisis levels. One move sets up future moves. Musing about fossils used in another jewelry piece in the exhibit, Drummond mentions that he enjoys imagining them fossilized a second time, in their necklace form, long after human life has disappeared from the planet. As usual, Drummond is several steps ahead.
Time may be linear in an elementary school textbook about extinction events and geological eras, but Drummond’s mind works like that of a chess player, simultaneously projecting each potential sequence of events over the other as he stares at the board. In one imagined reality, climate change devastates the planet and a new race of woman-warriors (in bra-elastic bandage dresses, of course) wander the barren earth. In another, humans futilely attempt to abscond to space, armed with a computer’s illogical conception of clothing: unwearable, “hyper-gendered” space suits resembling the molted skin of a 1950s housewife—more Jane Jetson than David Bowie. In still another, all is lost for mankind, with future forms of life one day discovering the fossilized remains of a necklace, a strange strand of hair yet again uncovered from the earth.
And then, there’s Drummond’s current reality—the one we’re lucky enough to inhabit right now. One where the wastefulness of an insatiable fashion industry (often cited as the second most environmentally detrimental industry in the world) meets its match in creative repurposing of discarded materials. Drummond estimates that upwards of 80 percent of the show’s pieces are made from deadstock materials, many of which were donated or “upcycled” from previous collections. A mod mini-dress is covered in a chainmaille of silver-toned underwire manufactured for bras—a Hokusai wave of what would otherwise be trash. Elsewhere, the waters continue to rise, with a saltwater bath creating complex crystalline patterns on a pleated canvas skirt. A pair of platform shoes gets its lift from a cedar tree trunk that has been charred and carbonized—a traditional Japanese practice dating back to the 16th century that preserves the wood even as it appears to destroy it. The resulting wood looks downright primordial but can last upwards of 80 years—especially precious in a future where trees are but a distant memory.
Ancient, futuristic; modern, prehistoric—the long-past and the far-off future seem to contract and become one and the same under Drummond’s skilled hand.
But for all the darkness in the exhibit, Drummond’s viewpoint remains optimistic. Like the chess game in “2001” between supercomputer HAL 9000 and Frank Poole that inspired the collection, Drummond can’t resist an underdog story. He still believes in the power of small personal shifts to course correct the waste of the fashion industry. He accepts fallibility as part of the process, identifying the fast-fashion pieces in his own everyday wardrobe. “I still hold foolish optimism that maybe the climate crisis could be the great unifier,” he says. Put another way? Planet Earth still has a few moves left.
Michael Drummond: “Being Played” is on view at the World Chess Hall of Fame now through March 22, 2020.

Online dating has been around for several years, but thanks in part to mobile dating apps, it is exploding. Yet women have not been as quick to embrace the dating apps; men are twice as active as women when it comes to online dating, according to r esearch. And women have been subjected to hostile, lewd and harassing comments on popular dating apps, like Tinder and OkCupid, which have been created by largely male teams. Female entrepreneurs have seen an opening, and several dating apps have been created by women — for women. Others, like Bumble, which launched late , are newcomers on the market. Bumble Whitney Wolfe, a co-founder of Tinder, had a messy breakup from the company.

Most of us have probably felt the same way. We get into a routine and have more obligations as we get older, so dating often takes a backseat. Lesbian singles, like my friend, can connect anywhere and at any time from their phones. The Washington Post says two out of three gay couples meet through a dating app or site, so it clearly works. From the pricing to the technology, everything you should know is here. Dating App Matchmaking services are great because the process the matchmakers use is often customized to your schedule, budget, personality, and needs.
Close Dattch founder Robyn Exton: For too many lesbians, seeking out dateable women is an ordeal. Others are understandably wary of the countless dating sites and apps geared towards heterosexuals. The free UK-based lesbian dating app has just launched in the US at the inaugural Lesbians Who Tech summit and has also won an award for best-designed app at the Launch Festival.
It faces competition from Brenda, which is like Grindr for lesbians, and the predominantly hetero Tinder. But unlike either of those, Dattch a combination of date and catch claims to be the only one designed specifically for women, rather than aping existing straight or gay-male versions. Whereas girls will look at a picture two or three times before deciding to send a message,” she says. So how has Dattch approached the problem of dithery would-be daters? When the app started out, profiles consisted of a big picture and a bit of text for a bio.
And who thinks that’s an exciting thing to reply to? Exton compares it to looking at someone’s Instagram feed: Exton believes a lot of women habitually focus on what they perceive to be their worst traits in order to “manage expectations”. With Dattch, they are steered away from the all-too-common “Argh, I’m so bad at this” stuff. Perhaps the most striking difference between the Dattch app and all the rest is its focus on the security of its users.

Unexpected Demand for Oil Is Up 80% … What Could The Future Hold?
After an 80% rally, many investors would be looking for a reversal, possibly even for an opportunity to short the asset.
This is not a time to do that.
In fact, this is not a rally you want to short at all, but one you want to buy.
Even though this commodity has surged more than 80% after bottoming in February of this year, it could easily surge another 100% from here.
Of course, I’m talking about crude oil…
And after bottoming earlier this year, crude has now surpassed the $51-per-barrel mark for the first time since July 2015.
This recent jump is just the beginning of a much longer, and much higher, climb in crude prices.
Several recent pieces of data support rising prices, not falling ones.
One in particular that caught my eye is that oil companies slashed exploration budgets by $250 billion in 2015, and are expected to cut another $300 billion this year.
Very soon supply will no longer be an issue when it comes to price, as existing wells start to slow and new wells aren’t lined up to start producing.
The next data point to watch now is demand. That tells us oil will rally, and it’s why we want to own related stocks.
A recent report by BP on various statistics in the energy markets, titled BP Statistical Review, gives us one piece of important data.
Based on its statistics, 2015 was the first time since 1999 that oil gained market share. That’s huge! It means that not only was demand robust, but it actually was being used in place of other energy resources more for the first time in 16 years.
Demand rose at nearly double its recent historical average, at a pace of 1.9%.
Remember, this data covers 2015, when crude plunged another 30% after 2014’s 44% drop. The mainstream media outlets led you to believe that global demand was waning, and oil was set for a new sustainable low level. Not the case.
The International Energy Agency also showed in the first quarter of this year that oil consumption is growing faster than analysts had expected. The forecast was for 1.2 million barrels of oil per day, but actual demand was 16% higher at 1.4 million barrels of oil per day.
Clearly demand is robust, and we already know supply is set to shrink because of the cuts to new discoveries.
But just this past week, we received further confirmation from the world’s biggest crude exporter, Saudi Arabia.
The state-owned Saudi Arabian Oil announced it was raising the price of oil that it sells to Asia for the second consecutive month amid increased demand in the region.
Demand is rising, and you want to own this rally.
A Rising Oil Tide…
Today, crude sits at just above $50, which is 80% off the lows it hit earlier this year.
But with demand remaining robust, oil has plenty of room to run higher. Now is the time to grab almost any related stock because this rally isn’t an isolated event.
A surge in the price of crude lifts everything from a tiny exploration stock to a giant like BP with it.
As oil continues to soar from here, these stocks will rise in similar fashion, handing you possible triple-digit gains.

Bloated batteries are broken and should no longer be used! This also applies to cracked, bent or in any other form damaged batteries.
Is a bloated battery dangerous?
There is a certain danger associated with it, however spontaneous combustion or explosion won’t happen. But you should not try to open the battery or tamper with it in any other way.
Why do battery bloat?
Batteries use electrolytes to store energy. They are fabricated in a very complicated process during which water is removed from the battery. However if water remains in the battery there is a greater chance of it bloating. The reason for the bloating is, that through a chemical reaction in the battery hydrogen and oxygen are produced and trapped in the batteries casing. This can be dangerous if the battery is opened, but otherwise an explosion or fire should be unlikely. Cylindrical batteries like AA, AAA or 18650 also tend to produce these gases. However the more robust metal casing and a valve prevent bloating.
Where can I dispose of the bloated battery?
Batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. They can be disposed of at a electronics vendor or in municipal collection free of charge.
Can I send the battery back to the retailer for an exchange unit?
No, it is forbidden to send bloated batteries by mail. The risk during transport is to high. More information in this article here … .
Are inexpensive replacement batteries more endangered, than original batteries?
Premium original batteries have predetermined breaking points and security mechanisms, which make bloating less likely. Should this still happen the predetermined breaking points let the gas escape. Furthermore, they also have a chip which can disconnect individual cells when low voltage is detected to prevent deep-discharge. Replacement batteries do not have this chip and therefore don’t do as well in long-term storage.
Tips to increase the lifespan of your battery
- Avoid high temperatures (above 30°C if possible)
- Avid high air humidity
- Never leave your device in the sun for a long time
- When storing the battery for a longer time (multiple weeks) charge it to about 50% and remove it from your device
- Avoid a complete discharge
- It would be optimal to keep the charge between 20% and 80%
With these tips you should be able to avoid a bloated battery. Should it bloat nonetheless you now know where to correctly dispose of it. And there is no reason to worry about the bloated battery exploding or catching fire. | <urn:uuid:db9ce84e-fafb-441f-a492-7cd678688cfe> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.ipc-computer.de/en/2018/11/how-do-i-dispose-of-a-bloated-lithium-ion-battery-correctly/ | 2020-09-27T07:58:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.934159 | 516 |

Russian Orthodox Church Backs ‘Holy Battle’ Against ISIS
Russia’s powerful Orthodox Church on Wednesday voiced support for Moscow’s decision to carry out air strikes in Syria against the Islamic State group (ISIS), calling it a “holy battle.”
“The fight with terrorism is a holy battle and today our country is perhaps the most active force in the world fighting it,” said the head of the Church’s public affairs department, Vsevolod Chaplin, quoted by Interfax news agency.
Chaplin explicitly said the Church backs Russia’s decision to deploy its airforce in Syria to attack ISIS.
“This decision corresponds with international law, the mentality of our people and the special role that our country has always played in the Middle East,” Chaplin said.
Chaplin said a council representing Russia’s main religions – OrthodoxChristianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism – would release a joint statement on Russia’s role in Syria.
“In this statement, we will support the decision that was taken by our government,” Chaplin said.
Russia’s Orthodox Church, after years of repression under the Soviets, has regained much of its influence and built up close ties with the government despite a formal separation of Church and state. President Vladimir Putin is regularly depicted attending services.
The Russian air force launched its first airstrikes in Syria earlier Wednesday – although the strikes do not appear to have targeted ISIS, instead focusing on rebels fighting to overthrow dictator Bashar al-Assad. | <urn:uuid:b8942ba1-7f3e-463d-8cbc-01dc9f93fa9b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://btnews.online/archives/1757/russian-orthodox-church-backs-holy-battle-against-isis/ | 2020-09-27T07:20:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947457 | 323 |

1962 Chrysler 300 automatic with push button selector transmission and 383 engine. I purchased this car local from a guy that had it since 1970 he never lest it out in the rain or snow while he was using it and it has been sitting unused since 1990 therefore it has no rust no rot no holes anywhere . When I bought it the old guy made me promise I would never store it outside in the rain . the underside is in unbelievable condition it still has original factory undercoating not rusted. the paint job is not in pristine condition by any means it has wear and scrapes but no rust. the car is complete with all mechanical items body trim and interior intact and seems to be all original. I changed the filter . leaned the carb and changed the coil and points and was able to start it up and keep it running and idling nice off a gas can. I had it running for about a half hour one day and 45 minutes the next while I tested everything. I have a video of it running I just didn't know how to add it to the auction . I drove it around the block it shifted well I used the emergency brakes to stop . the brake system holds fluid but needs to be bled . could probably do that before the new owner picks it up. all the brake shoes brake pistons and hardware were changed right before the guy stopped using the car so they just need to be adjusted . They have Lockheed non self adjusting brakes in it I can bleed the braked but I have never adjusted that type before . I drained all the old fluid out of the system and put new brake fluid in. the 2 clear marker lights in from have cracks in them and the electric motor that runs the convertible top does not work the last owner said you can put it down manually But I don't know how. The top is not original it was put on in the late eighties and is in very good condition . The dash and components including the steering wheel and clear plastic bubble are all in perfect condition the red leather seats have a few rips in them . the door panels are also nice . The carpet looks brand new the guy had cardboard all over them like many old people use to when I took up the cardboard it looked like the rug was put in yesterday. all the electric windows work . the trunk Has no rust I took the carpet up and inspected it thoroughly but the carpet in the trunk is pretty greasy. Pretty rare to find an important car lie this with no rust and in running condition. When I had it running I checked all the lights like it was an inspection and they are all good. all the glass is good also. I have many more pictures I could not put in listing And I can take any pictures you would like me to on sunny days when it rains it has to go in the garage . Car needs a good cleaning and A new home . I have a stack of transferable registrations and a bunch of paperwork . The trunk had all kinds of extra parts the guy would take off of cars in the junk yard just in case he ever needed them you can have them also. Pick up here in Rome ny Or I can get A shipping quote to your location. non refundable deposit of $500 due within 48 hours the rest at pickup within A few weeks hopefully . Its in the garage so its not really in the way but I would like to use my garage some day. Feel free to ask questions you can also call me at 315-335-5848 Thanks -Rick

It’s here at last, the end of my FLFS Challenge. If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about you can read my previous post with full explanation and background here but, in short, I have worked my way through my entire wardrobe, not laundering anything or buying anything new until I had worn everything in there!
I have a few key learning points and reflections from this challenge that I’d love to briefly share with you.
1. I have a lot of clothes. A LOT.
2. My shopping habits, albeit mainly from charity shops, had gotten way out of hand. I was in the habit of buying things that I liked but didn’t love and definitely didn’t need. As a result there were quite a few things that I didn’t wear that often but sat there taking up space.
3. I do have some items in my wardrobe that I truly love and want to wear more, but they were getting crowded out by all of the other stuff.
4. You CAN change your shopping habits, and going cold turkey is actually very refreshing and freeing.
5. I have a new appreciation of the clothes I already have. I’m about to do a mountain of ironing and when it all goes back into my wardrobe I will feel like the richest woman in the world, all with stuff I already own.
6. Instead of charity shops I’m going to try arranging clothes swaps as a way to bring new items into my wardrobe. I’m also going to rotate what’s in my wardrobe more often so that things feel new to me when I see them and so I’m therefore less tempted to but something new, just for a fresh change.
This has been a great challenge to do, helping me to see what I own in a new light, changing my habits of consumption and helping me to ask myself some important questions about what I buy, why I buy it and if there are other ways to think about that process.
If you’ve found yourself in an unhelpful shopping habit and need a bit of a wake-up call, why not give it a try – or something like it. If you do, I’d love to hear how you get on.
And if you’re nearby and fancy a clothes swap, I’m your girl. | <urn:uuid:09378ac4-756e-428e-bb6a-5e60a9876cee> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cultivatingandcreating.com/2015/11/13/full-laundry-fresh-style-the-final-analysis/ | 2020-09-27T06:49:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.971941 | 497 |

Scripture for Today: Proverbs 6:25-26a “Do not lust in your heart for her beauty, and do not let her captivate you with her alluring eyes. For on account of a prostitute one is brought down to a loaf of bread…”
This is not our cat, Tiger, but it very well could be. We were always careful to close the kitchen door when any food was left out. Tiger was not very discriminating in his tastes and would try just about any “people food!” As long as it was forbidden, it was somehow worth the effort to climb up on the counters or table and brave our displeasure. Of course our cat, being French, was spoiled with the availability of baguette!
Our verse for today uses the image of a loaf of bread to describe the impoverished state of a man who visits a prostitute. He not only wastes his money on something that does not really satisfy, but he also cheapens what is meant to be beautiful within the commitment of marriage. In allowing himself to be captivated by lust, he impoverishes his very soul. What could be romantic, noble and satisfying is reduced to something as ordinary and common as a piece of bread.
The warning in this verse can also apply to what goes on in my heart and mind. Jesus puts the standard very high teaching that secret lust is as serious as actual sexual sin (Matt. 5:28). The standard is put so high in order to safeguard what is meant to be beautiful. Rather than think of God’s Law as restrictive, I see His way as being what is most satisfying. Sexual immorality impoverishes whereas following God’s plan enriches and deepens a relationship.
Lord, protect my heart and mind from cheapening what You mean to be rich and satisfying. | <urn:uuid:78a00529-ce61-43b1-abf1-d0c30f6ed76b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://devotionsbyjan.com/2014/11/18/loaf-of-bread/ | 2020-09-27T07:42:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.978571 | 376 |

Latin American women are often times considered as even more submissive than the women consist of parts of the world. They have a popularity that is connected with poverty, sex-related immorality and having to marry out of wedlock. These stereotypes are generally true in terms of poverty and economic hardship, but they are as well prevalent consist of areas of life. As with many stereotypes there are exceptions nonetheless overall the image is exact to some extent.
There are some exclusions to the Latin American female stereotype since Latin American women aren’t always the very best mothers to their children. The truth is that it requires much longer for these women being economically distinct and even in situations where there is a chance of these people being able to always be economically self-sufficient they will not continually be able to accomplish that without having their husbands. It is vital for women who’ve been involved in a relationship wherever one of the companions had an degrading background or perhaps has been physically abused that they speak up and look for help. It may look like an separated incident but it is something which many women are afraid https://bit.ly/2PN2IcA to accomplish. These types of women can be found at the welfare offices of states and urban centers throughout the United states of america. Even in countries which experts claim not have this sort of legislation it is necessary to be aware of the laws that happen to be in place and what you can do if your partner includes a history of exploitation or violence.
Some women find that the Latin American woman belief is not accurate and are not only trustworthy but as well look up to to be a leader in the family. Many women feel that these are the ones that are doing the work inside the family and they need to not have to get up with crafted of different wishes. They would like to be trustworthy without treated like a servant. This may not be always practical with damaging husbands and abusive lovers. They should make themselves known and try to get all the support as they can. The last thing they want has been to be considered a bit of meat mainly because they were created that way. It is difficult to live below such a stereotype however it is true in ways. | <urn:uuid:8566772b-41a8-42fb-af5a-2a1f98a98dab> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://formosa-entertainment.com/may-be-the-latina-girl-stereotypical/ | 2020-09-27T06:51:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.986535 | 445 |
An impressive series of hires has launched the West Coast US firm’s investment treaty practice
|Value of pending counsel work||US$2.5 billion|
|Current arbitrator appointments||
3 (of which 0 are
as sole or chair)
|Lawyers sitting as arbitrator||2|
NEW ENTRY. Headquartered in Palo Alto, Cooley has benefited from its proximity to Silicon Valley, developing an extensive practice representing blue-chip clients in high-value IP and technology disputes, albeit with more of a focus on litigation than arbitration.
The international arbitration practice began to take shape after the firm opened a London office in 2015, absorbing a team from Edwards Wildman Palmer that included partner Laurence Harris, also known for his fraud and asset recovery practice.
A further boost came at the end of 2016 with the hire of three partners from Chadbourne & Parke – former practice head Mark Beckett and colleagues Rachel Thorn and Marc Suskin. The trio, who are based in New York, also worked together at Latham & Watkins and brought valuable experience in commercial and investment treaty arbitration and public international law.
Another important arrival in 2017 was former Volterra Fietta partner Christophe Bondy, who previously led the Canadian government’s defence in NAFTA investor-state cases and helped to negotiate its trade agreement with the EU. He is a special counsel in London.
With this depth and variety of experience, the firm says it can now handle “bet the company” cases for multinational corporations and sovereign states.
The international arbitration team is concentrated in New York and London. The firm has nine other offices in the US (including Boston, Colorado, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC) as well as outposts in Beijing and Shanghai.
Who uses it?
At ICSID, a major client is Koch Minerals, the second-largest privately owned company in the United States, which is owned by prominent Republican Party donors Charles and David Koch. A subsidiary of France’s Engie and various Turkish construction clients have turned to the firm for investment treaty matters.
US technology company Qualcomm used it for a billion-dollar royalties dispute with BlackBerry. It has also advised automotive parts supplier Johnson Controls and insurers Lodestar, Munich Re and XL.
A rare example of a government client is the Turks & Caicos Islands in a dispute over a conch farm.
While it’s early days for the new practice, it has already had a striking result in an ICSID case for Koch Minerals against Venezuela, which Beckett and his team brought over from Chadbourne. In 2017, the company won US$409 million for an expropriation in the fertiliser sector. Volterra Fietta was co-counsel in the arbitration. Cooley is now representing Koch in a US court action to enforce the award.
In another ICSID case they brought over from their old firm, Beckett and Suskin secured a favourable award for Engie subsidiary Baymina Enerji in an ICSID dispute with Turkey’s state-owned pipeline company Botaş over a gas supply contract. While details of the outcome are scarce, a victory for Cooley’s client can be inferred from the fact that Botaş is trying to annul the award.
Cooley is advising a group of Turkish construction companies in a pair of ICC arbitrations against Libya and its river authority over a contract to install a large pipeline. The cases are worth US$500 million.
Three Turkish investors in a textile enterprise turned to the firm for a US$100 million ICSID claim against Uzbekistan. Another Turkish investor, BM Mühendislik, has retained it for an ICSID claim worth US$75 million against the United Arab Emirates over a land reclamation project.
Cooley helped Qualcomm to negotiate a settlement with BlackBerry that saw the firm’s client pay US$940 million to satisfy a JAMS award concerning royalty overpayments.
In addition to Bondy, the London office welcomed special counsel Joshua Brien, former head and legal advisor of the Oceans and Natural Resources Advisory Division at the Commonwealth Secretariat, who has further enhanced the firm’s public international law offering. | <urn:uuid:921973ea-6983-4ed5-8386-f7faab22d27a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://globalarbitrationreview.com/benchmarking/gar-100-11th-edition/1167666/cooley | 2020-09-27T05:53:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.942916 | 887 |

One year after the famous Woodstock rock concert and festival, attention turned to the tiny town of Wadena, Iowa. There, another rock festival was taking place in a farm field west of town, drawing around 40,000 fans 50 years ago. The concert, on July 31 through Aug. 2, 1970, drew acts such as Little Richard, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Hot Tuna, Mason Proffit, Poco, The Chambers Brothers and one-time Iowans, the Every Brothers.
Rock music and pop culture aficionados are aware that Iowa is an airplane crashed near Clear Lake and killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P “The Big Bopper” Richardson, along with pilot Roger Peterson. The Everly Brothers grew up in Shenandoah and the Des Moines area-based is home for the shock band Slipknot.
What else ties rock and roll to Iowa? This short quiz has your answers.

American artist, Connor Hunt, aka SquidSacks, has released a luscious new single, ‘Drifting’.
Basking in soft guitar notes and woozy vocals, ‘Drifting’ is quietly psychedelic in style, hinting on breezy summer days complete with a charming, reverb-packed lo-fi production. Speaking about the track, Hunt said “My goal with this song was to make a slow paced psychedelic tune based around a melancholy feeling of existential dissatisfaction.”
The video accompaniment for ‘Drifting’ features a cosmic animation, with bright-eyed cartoon planets travelling through colourful galaxies.

After spending a whole week at the seaside, it was time to say goodbye to the beachlife. I must admit we weren’t too thrilled about it and I had second thoughts about leaving the beach life behind. I said to myself “We should have extended our stay at the seaside instead of visiting Sintra”. But it soon cleared up I was wrong.
Arriving to Sintra can be a stressful experience, no matter what form of transportation you use. Sintra is a small town in the middle of woods and mountains. All streets are narrow, steep and many of them are one-way streets. Also keep in mind Sintra is one of the top tourist attractions in Portugal. And we all know words “small” and “touristy” do not go together well (haha).
As I said before accessing Sintra can be stressfull, but with a piece of patience and luck (and some navigating skills) we managed to find our apartment (and parking!) After a short rest, we went exploring. We walked across entire town, had a coffee and lunch and found some nice spots to take photos.
We tried to visit the famous Pena Palace (probably the main reason people visit Sintra) three times but every time the buses were so packed it was insane. Once we went at 8 in the morning and there was a 100 metres line waiting for the bus. In the afternoon it got even worse! We wanted to go by foot, but it was a 2 hour hike and you don’t want to do that when it’s 38 °C. So we decided not to go, because this palace wasn’t the main reason why we visited Sintra and we didn’t really mind not seeing it. We were probably one of the few tourists that come to Sintra and do not visit Pena Palace haha.
We gladly traded visiting Palace and standing in lines for some exploring. We visited beautiful gardens and explored the woods instead and that was one of the best decisions we’ve made during this trip. That’s how we discovered beautiful (and most important- not crowded! ) view points and enjoyed being surrounded by nature.
And just as we were sad about leaving the seaside, now we wanted to extend our stay in Sintra. It’s funny how fast you adapt to new places and how fast new places grow on you. This time we were not sad for too long, because we knew there are new adventures waiting for us in our next destination, furthermore we both knew we will return to Sintra one day. | <urn:uuid:17d60516-1a88-4888-8ea8-a92411bad6d8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://majalampe.com/2017/09/22/hidden-gems-of-sintra/ | 2020-09-27T05:51:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.978644 | 550 |
What Home Means to Me
“Home” is where your family is and the memories that are made of gatherings with your loved ones. Home feels like being wrapped up in your warm fuzzy blanket and being comfortable. The warm sunshine shining on your face while you relax outside looking at the beautiful view. Things you may miss if you couldn’t go home are the familiar sounds of birds singing early in the morning or the fish jumping out of the water while laying in your comfortable bed. Home smells like Butter Caramel burning in your mom’s favorite candle. The smells of wildflowers as you go walking outside into your yard or bonfires on cool summer evenings. Home to me looks clean, quiet, safe and surrounded by the wilderness. | <urn:uuid:153c8a4b-9984-4067-b5f8-000d66f3952e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://meaningofhome.ca/entry/what-home-means-to-me-209/ | 2020-09-27T06:21:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.927084 | 152 |

2. Every new day speaks something; opportunity to be more than you’ve always been. You’ll heed today’s call right? Morning!
3. Do not give up. Only losers do that. It’s a beautiful new day. Get up, get at it, get done!
4. Even if sorrows last for the night, joy would surely come in the morning. It’s a new day, be joyful.

6. This morning, ensure that you do something you’ve not done before. Make a new move. Dare. Love. Live.
7. Always remember this; the fact you do not look like it doesn’t mean you can’t be it. My dear, you can be anything you want to be. Good morning.
8. What about you stating that “big” thing you’ve always wanted to do gradually. Remember that inch by inch, anything, anything at all is a cinch.
9. We all have dreams, but only the ones who are brave enough to wake up and act get to fulfil their dreams. Do not remain at the “dreaming” stage. Wake up and start out.
10. When the going gets tough, remember you’ve got to be tougher so that you can keep going. Persistence and faith in your dreams will get you there.

The Shelby County School District honored its top teachers at the Teacher of the Year reception and awards ceremony held December 1 at Oak Mountain High School. The event honored the Teacher of the Year winners from every school in the district, as well as the three overall winners from the elementary, middle and high school grade spans. Teachers who recently earned their National Board certification were also honored.
The event was hosted by the Shelby County Schools Education Foundation. Books-A-Million served as a new corporate sponsor, honoring all of the school nominees with a gift bag of items as well as a $25 gift certificate. The three overall winners received a $500 gift certificate from Books-A-Million, along with a $500 stipend award from the Shelby County Schools Education Foundation.
The overall Teacher of the Year winners were Martha Bentley – Elvin Hill Elementary School; Elizabeth Burttram – Helena Middle School; and Amanda Bittinger – Oak Mountain High School.
Bentley has been teaching in Shelby County for 19 years and currently serves as the Gifted Education teacher for grades 3-5 at Elvin Hill Elementary School. She serves in numerous leadership roles at her school, including the Leader in Me Lighthouse team, technology committee, library committee, WCAT morning news sponsor, and Science Festival team facilitator. Her previous honors include the First Year Teacher of the Year Award for 1997-1998.
In her nomination essay to the Teacher of the Year Awards Committee, Bentley said her parents were the biggest influence on her becoming a teacher. Bentley wrote her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, taught her to think critically and analytically, to evaluate the substance and validity of text, and to view her contributions as part of a cause bigger than herself. Her mother taught her through words and example to accept and love people for who they are.
“She modeled for me patience, encouragement, gentleness, forgiveness, and self-control, all vital components of an outstanding classroom teacher,” Bentley said. “These two human beings were the twin pillars of my life experience, daily displaying for me the gifts and traits of the teacher I aspire to be.”
“When asked to consider what my greatest contributions in education might be, I do not think of awards or accolades,” she continued. “I think of my students, and I pray that I might be influencing, motivating, and challenging them in the way my parents did me.”
She said she considers her greatest contribution to be the one she attempts to make every day, to be the one adult in each child’s life whose words, attitudes and actions consistently convey the message, “I care about you. I believe in you. I will do everything I can to help you succeed.”
Bentley said she believes bullying is one issue that continues to impact schools across the country. And while, she doesn’t have the answers as to why bullying continues to be such an issue, she does have a new sense of hope as a result of her school going through the process to become a Leader in Me school, which is based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Teachers at Elvin Hill are not only teaching the seven habits to the students but also modeling them every day.
“We want our students to experience ownership of their life choices, to have a greater voice in the school environment, and to be able to use their strengths and talents right now to better the lives of others,” Bentley said. “We want to enable each child who walks through our halls to establish the habits and traits of true leadership. This means each of us must model the habits in the nitty-gritty of everyday reality.”
Bentley said as a gifted education teacher, she recognizes the importance of students actively participating in their own learning process. She models for them how much fun it can be to explore and learn new things every day.
“I try to remind myself that children are born scientists – they come into this world wondering, questioning, experimenting, and constantly revising their understanding of incoming data,” she said.
Bentley said the rewards that she experiences as a teacher are too numerous to name, but one reward is that she gets to “learn and grown right along with my students. I always learn as much from them as they learn from me.”
She said if she had a trophy case, it would not contain golden statues, plaques or medals. “Rather it would showcase all of the little notes, drawings, emails, and letters I have received from students who just wanted me to know that I have made a difference in their lives…that they are thankful that I have shared a part of their journey. I believe they will never know how thankful I am that they have been part of mine.”
Burttram has taught 8th-grade science for eight years in the Shelby County School District. She taught for five years at Columbiana Middle School and for the past three years at Helena Middle School. Her leadership involvement at her school consists of serving on Continuous School Improvement team, serving as the Science Department chair, and the Science Olympiad coach. Previous awards include being Teacher of the Year at Columbiana Middle School in 2012.
Burttram said teaching has always been a part of her life, even when she was working in various medical laboratory jobs during previous careers. She views teaching middle school as simply an extension of her laboratory career and even on the most challenging of days she knows she is where she is supposed to be.
“My greatest contributions can be divided into two categories: my work with students and my work with fellow teachers,” she said. “Both have been very rewarding and have enriched me as a person and a professional.”
Burttram said awards won by herself and her students have been wonderful accomplishments; but she views her greatest accomplishments as the small, quiet victories that occur in the classroom.
“One moment I will always remember is a student who was so terrified of public speaking she had never once spoken in front of a classroom,” Burttram recalled. “She managed to get up and present her project on Niels Bohr in front of the classroom. My paraprofessional and I were near tears at the risk she took and the cheers from her classmates. A truly golden moment!”
Burttram also finds great reward in helping to mentor other teachers and loves to see them be successful in their own classrooms. She is worried, however, that one of the biggest threats to education is the decline in the number of college students wanting to become teachers. With so many teachers retiring and younger teachers who are experiencing burnout or who leave for more lucrative careers, there is a real threat of a major teacher shortage in the next several years.
Burttram said negativity toward education, student debt versus low teacher pay, the stress and demands of the teaching profession, and discouragement from family members about entering the profession are all to blame for the lack of new college students. She proposes that the issue could be addressed through student loan forgiveness programs, job shadowing programs, veteran teachers serving as college recruitment ambassadors, and an active Social Media campaign to promote teaching as a career.
She said putting her belief about teaching into practice is what makes her an outstanding teacher. That includes the belief that all students can learn and have something positive to contribute, especially if they take ownership of their own learning.”
“The rewards I get from teaching are numerous and cannot be measured really,” Burttram added. “I keep a file of letters from grateful students, save emails from students who are now in college, and when I need a reminder of the importance of what I do, I read one. My reward is getting to see these amazing young people grow and do the great things they are destined to do.”
Amanda Bittinger has been teaching for 19 years, including the past 13 years in the Shelby County School District at Oak Mountain High School. She teaches honors precalculus and AP calculus AB and BC for 11th and 12th grade. Her leadership contributions to her school include serving as the Advanced Mathematics Team coach, Mentor Program coordinator, School Improvement Team member, and Precalculus and Calculus Learning Team lead teacher.
Previous honors include Walmart Teacher of the Year (2007); ABC 33/40 and Food World Teacher of the Year (2007); Oak Mountain Teacher of the Year (2005); Chilton County Teacher of the Year (2000); Maplesville High School Yearbook Dedication (2000 and 2002). She was also one of three Alabama teachers selected to become a member of the Math and Science Teacher Organization at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and to attend their week-long engineering and technology conference in June 2004.
“The single most important factor that influenced me to become a teacher was my high school mathematics teacher, Mr. Ned Lowery,” Bittinger said. “I really hated math and never understood the true meaning behind many of the concepts until Mr. Lowery took the time to get me interested in math and gave me the confidence that I needed to be successful at it.”
Bittinger said Lowery is to be credited for not only instilling in her a love of math and teaching but also encouraging her to go to college.
“I was from a poor, rural family who just wanted me to graduate high school, but Mr. Lowery showed me that I could do better than just graduate high school,” she said. “He showed me that I could compete with anyone in my class, and he gave me the confidence and skills necessary to compete with almost anyone in college. I not only owe my teaching ability and passion for mathematics to Mr. Lowery, I owe the life that I lead to him. I think God that Mr. Lowery cared enough about me and all of his students to spend the extra time that he did to ensure that we not only learned a lot about mathematics but that we developed as strong individuals as well.
She now strives to be the same type of influence and role model for her own students and to her fellow colleagues. She said her classroom is often filled with students who not only come from extra help with math but also seeking a listening ear to share their problems with.
“I have found that when a student knows that you truly care about them as a person, he/she will go above and beyond what you ask of them in the classroom,” she shared. “I attend many of the school events and activities in which my students participate, and at Christmas, I write each student an individual card with a paragraph that is just for them. This paragraph will contain information that I have learned about them during the year.”
Bittinger agrees that a shortage of quality teachers and others leaving the profession too soon is one major challenge facing education today. Having taught in rural, urban and inner city schools, she also believes inequity in education is also a huge area of concern since the same educational opportunities are not available to all students.
She said she believes that teaching is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling careers that anyone can ever have.
“I also believe that students should be treated with care, patience and respect,” she said. “I do not treat my students as just people who enter my class on a day-to-day basis to receive math knowledge. At the beginning of the year, I make a point to know my students’ names and something unique about them by the second day of class.”
“I hope that can be remembered in the minds of my students as someone who made them realize the value of hard work and resilience and someone who truly cared about them,” Bittinger continued. “My goal every day is to make each and every one of my students’ lives better, to fill their minds with knowledge of mathematics, with the love for learning, with the confidence to succeed in every aspect of their lives, with the determination to never give up on their dreams, with the importance of respect for those around them, and with the understanding of the importance of showing kindness and sincerity toward everyone they meet.”

Poor Floyd came in yesterday morning sneezing and with runny eyes. My first thought was that he might have caught a virus and I made sure he stayed away from the girls and that we changed our clothes and washed our hands carefully after dealing with him. Today we took him to the vet to have him checked out. It turned out that he does not have a virus but was in a fight and had his nose scratched up on the inside, that made him sneeze and his eyes water. Poor baby. I was amazed at how good he was at the vet. I am not sure he has ever been to a vet before. Everybody cooed over him about how pretty he is and what a big boy he is. He sat perfectly still on the exam table and ate up all the compliments. He did not even flinch when the extremely nice doctor fixed a little tear in his ear that had started to bleed. We took him to Sheets Pet Clinic on a recommendation by a lady from the SPCA and I am glad we did. They are very nice and not too expensive. After all that stress, a nap was in order (of course after a good meal). I am so glad he does not have a virus and can therefore be with the other cats. Now we can all relax and celebrate Christmas.

Almost a year to the day since we stayed with St Mary’s Inn, Morpeth, we have visited sister company Jesmond Dene House, Jesmond. This spectacular establishment oozes class and sophistication, swimming in history and elegance, it really was the most perfect way to begin our Easter break. Step away from the hustle of Newcastle City and you’ll find the quaint village of Jesmond, home to Jesmond Dene House Hotel. Perfectly situated a little over 10 minutes from the centre means visitors really do experience the best of both worlds, calm and tranquil surroundings, yet a stones throw from the inner city vibe. There’s no surprise we loved this hotel, and with their long, ever growing list of awards you’re sure to engage in an exceptional stay with Jesmond Dene House.
Rooms at Jesmond Dene House are elegant, spacious and favorably contemporary. None of the 40 bedrooms and suites are the same. Rooms are reflective of the hotel’s original character and preserve architectural features such as fire places and bay windows as they would of been displayed historically. Our room was equipped with a spectacular king size bed, perfect for a sound nights sleep! You really do have everything you need supplied at Jesmond Dene House, from the mass of complimentary lotions to the hot water bottle for those cooler winter nights.
If treating yourself to a little ‘me time’ is your bag then you’ll feel right at home in their over-sized bathtubs. Unwind after a hectic day exploring the surrounding lands!
Food & Drink:
The restaurant at Jesmond Dene House is divided over two areas, the former music room and the garden room with a summer terrace. Both rooms provide diners with a sophisticated experience, although the hotel sets no dress code for diners and invites all to enjoy a less formal atmosphere. The menu offers a diverse range of meal options providing British dishes that are light, fresh & flavorsome. My partner and I had our eyes set on the Steak and opted for a Sirloin served with Beef Jus & hand cut chips. This melt in the mouth dish was simply delicious, and possibly the best steak we’ve ever had! We followed our mains with a dish of Ice Cream and Sorbets, flavor’s were adventurous with our favorite being the Blood Orange Sorbet.
Our breakfast consisted of a Full English, and Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Egg served with views of the garden, we couldn’t of visited on a better weekend, the sun beamed down as we ate, and the garden room really came to life.
Our stay with Jesmond Dene House Hotel was perfectly wonderful. A blissful break in this historic setting was just what we needed to kick start our Easter break. If you’re looking for somewhere to stop in the North East, Jesmond Dene House gets our vote. The owner, Peter Candler, and all the devoted staff really do make this place all that it is. Our experience was enhanced so much by the knowledgeable, helpful staff that work here. Danny really does know everything about wine and even convinced us to sample a glass of red!
Stay here if:
Perfect for: Couples, families and a wonderful location for a wedding.
Prices: From £140 per night inclusive of breakfast.
Additional comments: Check out their sister company St Mary’s Inn, Morpeth. See our review here.
We throughly enjoyed our stay with Jesmond Dene House Hotel and can confidently say we shall be returning in the summer of 2016 to sample Afternoon Tea, a perfect break in a perfect venue!

Telling the truth can be difficult.
In my work, people ask me to help them strengthen trust in their relationships. I work with individual leaders; other times with teams or entire organizations. Regardless of the scope of the engagement or place in the world I’m working, however, I’ve found that when it comes to trust, the same core issues surface.

We Could be Getting Closer to Creating an Alzheimer's Vaccine
It's estimated that the number of cases of Alzheimer's will reach 135 million worldwide by 2050. While this may be daunting, there is hope for the future. Scientists are getting closer and closer to developing a vaccine that can help to delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer's.
One of the major challenges of science is slowing down the advancement of Alzheimer’s. As we all know, few diseases can be so frustrating and sad for both patients and their families. That being it said, wouldn’t it be great if there were an alzheimer’s vaccine?
There are more and more discoveries and developments in vaccines against this disease, but the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s continues to increase every day.
In fact, it’s estimated that the number of cases of Alzheimer’s will reach 135 million worldwide by 2050. This data, however, doesn’t mean that the disease is now more serious than before.
It just means life expectancy has increased, and that simply approaching your 80’s makes it more likely that you’ll suffer from this disease.
All this increases the need to continue fighting and investing funds in research against this disease.
In July 2016, a promising and well-researched study was published in various media outlets.
Flinders University, located in Australia, and the Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of California (USA) have developed a vaccine that could delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
We’ll tell you all about it below.
The long-awaited Alzheimer’s vaccine
According to a paper published in the journal Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, around 99% of clinical trials to delay or prevent Alzheimer’s have failed.
In 2010, the United States already patented the first vaccine for this disease. However, it turned out to be a failure because the side effects were serious.
This vaccine was called AN1792 and even got approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, after further analysis, the FDA invalidated the drug and suspended the project.
Despite this setback, the progress of developing a vaccine for Alzheimer’s has been very positive since 2010.
The first experimental vaccine: the EuroEspes
The EB101, which is part of the EuroEspes, opened after AN1792 failed. This medical center, based in Galicia (Spain), managed to take a step beyond the AN1792 vaccine and eliminated many of its side effects.
The main achievements of this vaccine are the following:
- It acts as an immunogen-adjuvant. It’s capable of generating antibodies against the plaque created by the beta-amyloid protein and which. This plaque helps Alzheimer’s develop.
- Likewise, the EB101 vaccine prevents cases of meningoencephalitis or cerebral hemorrhages caused by AN1792.
However, this vaccine is still in its experimental stages and there’s no date yet for its patent application or its entry into the market.
The vaccine that reverses neurodegenerative diseases
As we said, Flinders University and the Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of California are the latest to take the step toward creating the definitive vaccine.
- This drug is an astonishing advancement in the fight against Alzheimer’s. It truly provides hope for a solution. It could prevent and even reverse several neurodegenerative diseases.
- In addition to preventing or slowing down Alzheimer’s, this vaccine could help us prevent diseases such as Parkinson’s.
- It might also prevent Kuru, which an infectious neurodegenerative disease caused by abnormally folded prion proteins, and Huntington’s disease.
The scientists working on this project would achieve this by combining two treatments:
A first vaccine would act on the beta-amyloid protein.
The second drug would work on tau proteins. There are studies that claim that when these proteins don’t work, cells cannot flush out their “waste.” Due to this, another protein, beta-amyloid, tends to accumulate, which has harmful consequences. Little by little, it causes cells to die.
The alzheimer’s vaccine will be ready in three years
Nikolai Petrovsky is the endocrinologist who is leading this project. The idea is to have the vaccine ready to go on the market in two or three years.
The results of the experiments done so far are all positive. However, there are still goals to be met.
These would be:
- Reversing Alzheimer’s disease when the person has just received their diagnosis (the vaccine is still not effective in the very advanced stages of this condition).
- People aged 50 and over who don’t present any symptoms of Alzheimer’s can also use this vaccine. This will help to prevent the development of these neurodegenerative diseases.
- In essence, the goal above all is to avoid the onset of different types of dementia when they haven’t appeared yet or when they are in their early stages.
It could, therefore, be a source of hope in the fight to reduce the incidence of Alzheimer’s tomorrow’s generations.
Unfortunately, our relatives or acquaintances who are already affected by these diseases will continue to wait for a cure.
Our only goal in these cases will continue to be to offer the maximum quality of life, immense affection, dignity and the help of the best specialists. | <urn:uuid:f688c162-0c8e-4682-bfd8-5ae1c5779f93> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://steptohealth.com/getting-closer-creating-alzheimers-vaccine/ | 2020-09-27T06:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.952256 | 1,162 |
These are challenging times for our entire community, including our wonderful visual artists. Part of what makes the Gibbes so special is our partnerships with these artists. Through our Gibbes Visiting Artist Residency Program, we showcase the creative process. We believe that our creative community enables us to understand art beyond the aesthetic through the creative process. The visual arts can provide the safe space for challenging discourse. Therefore, while we appreciate the support you are able to provide the Museum now more than ever, we ask you not to forget our wonderful artists. We often say, “art is the reason” so perhaps in this time to consider investing in a work of art by our talented and accomplished visiting artists through our “Work of the Week” offerings. | <urn:uuid:ad082ba8-6c5b-4084-8443-ad1b0dbf1377> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://store.gibbesmuseum.org/collections/work-of-the-week | 2020-09-27T07:44:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.955258 | 152 |

Welcome to today’s #makeovermonday featuring our next renovation in the adorable Beacon Hills neighborhood!
I’m already so excited about this little ranch home. We’ve got new windows, fresh paint inside and out, a new fence and overgrown landscaping that is now GONE!
This kitchen was definitely a fixer-upper to start with.
before we started
No countertops, no cabinet doors, no appliances. Lovely, right???
Look how far it’s come!!
The cabinets are ready for new doors, new hardware, new backsplash, new appliances and new flooring. We’ve also added wide shiplap all over this house – to the walls AND some of the ceilings.
in progress sneak peek
And look at this bathroom before.
Now, in progress –
We’ve still got lots of work, but this is going to be one amazing home.
Stay tuned, we’ll check back in with the final reveal soon!

Summer time calls for some tank tops, but there is this negative stigma I feel with wearing what some call “bro tanks”. If that’s not your thing but you still want to wear tank tops then adding a light cardigan might be something you might want to do. We just went through a heat wave here in San Diego and wearing a tank top was super key.
Tank Top: Jackthreads
Jeans: Volcom 2 x 4 jeans (They don’t make these jeans any more 😦 )

Here we present definitions of many terms and concepts found in the pages of this website and in the Ageless Wisdom Teachings.
Soon — Any time between now and the next two thousand years.
Age ― World cycle, approximately 2,150 years, determined by the relation of the earth, sun and constellations of the zodiac.
Ageless Wisdom ― An ancient body of spiritual teaching underlying all the world’s religions as well as all scientific, social and cultural achievements. First made available in writing to the general public in the late 1800s by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and in this century by Alice A. Bailey, Helena Roerich, and Benjamin Creme. (See Ageless Wisdom Teachings for further details.)
Ajna centre ― The energy centre (chakra) between the eyebrows. Directing centre of the personality. Its correspondence on the physical level is the pituitary gland.
Antahkarana ― An invisible channel of light forming the bridge between the physical brain and the soul, built through meditation and service.
Anti-christ ― Energy of the Will aspect of God, in its involutionary phase, which destroys the old forms and relationships, for example at the end of an age, to prepare the way for the building forces of the Christ Principle. Manifested in Roman times through the emperor Nero and in modern times through Hitler and six of his associates.
Aquarius ― The new age that we are entering; this is an astronomical, not an astrological, event. It is to do with the relationship now being formed in cosmos between our solar system and the constellation of Aquarius.
Aquarian energy ― For the next 2,500 or so years we will be absorbing the cosmic energy of Aquarius, which will transform all life on the planet. It is a synthesizing energy: it draws together, fuses and blends. This process will go forward for 2,500 years.
Ashram ― A Master’s group. In the Spiritual Hierarchy there are 49 ashrams, seven major and 42 subsidiary, each headed by a Master of Wisdom.
Astral body ― The emotional vehicle of an individual.
Astral plane ― The plane of the emotions, including the polar opposites such as hope and fear, sentimental love and hate, happiness and suffering. The plane of illusion.
Avatar ― A spiritual Being who descends in answer to mankind’s call and need. There are human, planetary and cosmic Avatars. The latter would be called ‘Divine Incarnations.’ Their teaching, correctly apprehended and gradually applied by humanity, expands our understanding and presents the next step forward in mankind’s evolutionary development.
Avatar of Synthesis ― A great cosmic Being who embodies the energies of Will, Love, Intelligence and another energy for which we have as yet no name. Since the 1940s He has been sending these energies into the world, gradually transforming division into unity.
Buddha ― Last Avatar of the age of Aries. Previous World Teacher who manifested through the prince Gautama around 500 BC. The Embodiment of Wisdom, He currently acts as the ‘Divine Intermediary’ between Shamballa and Hierarchy. Buddhists expect their next great teacher under the name Maitreya Buddha.
Buddhi ― The universal soul or mind; higher reason; loving understanding; love-wisdom. The energy of love as the Masters experience it.
Buddhic plane ― Plane of divine intuition.
Causal body ― The vehicle of expression of the soul on the causal plane. The receptacle where consciousness of one’s evolutionary point of development is stored. The seat of consciousness on the soul plane.
Causal plane ― The third of the four higher mental planes on which the soul dwells.
Chakras ― Energy centres (vortices) in the etheric body related to the spine and the seven most important endocrine glands. Responsible for the coordination and vitalization of all the bodies (mental, astral and physical) and their correlation with the soul, the main centre of consciousness. There are seven major chakras and 42 lesser ones.
Christ ― A term used to designate the head of the Spiritual Hierarchy; the World Teacher; the Master of all the Masters. This is the name of an office or function within the Spiritual Hierarchy, which is currently held by the Lord Maitreya. The future holder of this office (for the next cosmic cycle, the Age of Capricorn) is already known.
Christ Consciousness ― The energy of the Cosmic Christ, also known as the Christ Principle. Embodied for us by the Maitreya, it is at present awakening in the hearts of millions of people all over the world. The energy of evolution per se.
Day of Declaration ― Day on which Maitreya will make himself known to the world during a worldwide radio and television broadcast. Everyone, even those who are not listening or watching, will hear his words telepathically in their own language. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of spontaneous healings will take place throughout the world. Beginning of Maitreya’s open mission in the world.
Deva ― Angel or celestial being belonging to a kingdom in nature evolving parallel to humanity, and ranging from sub-human elementals to super-human beings on a level with a planetary Logos. They are the ‘active builders,’ working intelligently with substance to create all the forms we see, including the mental, emotional and physical bodies of humanity.
Disciple ― One who is pledged to serve the Plan and has accepted the discipline required to take a hand his own evolution, living and working as a soul and serving humanity.
Esotericism ― The philosophy of the evolutionary process both in man and the lower kingdoms in nature. The science of the accumulated wisdom of the ages. It presents a systematic and comprehensive account of the energetic structure of the Universe and of man’s place within it, and describes the forces and influences that lie behind the phenomenal world. Also, the process of becoming aware of and gradually mastering these forces.
Etheric body ― The energetic counterpart of the physical body, composed of seven major centres (chakras) and 49 minor centres, a network which connects all the centres, and infinitesimally small threads of energy (nadis) which underlie every part of the nervous system.

Evolution ― The process of spiritualization of matter; the way back to the Source. The casting aside of the veils of delusion and illusion leading eventually to cosmic consciousness.
Forces of Light (Forces of Evolution) ― The Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet. Planetary centre of Love-Wisdom.
Forces of Darkness (Forces of Evil, Forces of Materiality) ― The involutionary or materialistic forces which uphold the matter aspect of the planet. When they overstep their role and impinge upon the spiritual progress of humanity, they are designated as evil.
God (see also Logos) ― The great Cosmic Being Who ensouls this planet, embodying all the Laws and all the energies governed by those Laws, which make up everything that we see and cannot see.

Each stage confers on the initiate a deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of God’s Plan, a fuller awareness of his/her part in that Plan, and an increasing ability to work consciously and intelligently towards its fulfilment.
Involution ― The process whereby spirit descends into matter, its polar opposite.
Jesus ― A Master of Wisdom and disciple of the Christ, Maitreya. Allowed the Christ to work through him during the period from his baptism to the crucifixion, 2,000 years ago. In the coming time, he will play a major role in re-inspiring and reorienting the whole field of Christian religion.
Karma ― Eastern name for the Law of Cause and Effect. The basic Law governing our existence in this solar system. Every thought that we have, every action that we carry out, sets into motion a cause. These causes have their effects, which make our lives, for good or ill. Expressed in biblical terms: As you sow, so shall you reap. In scientific terms: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Krishna ― A great Avatar who appeared around 3,000 BC and served as the vehicle of manifestation for the Lord Maitreya during the age of Aries.

They are the custodians of the Plan of Evolution and all the energies entering this planet which bring about the fulfillment of the Plan.
Meditation ― Scientific (i.e. conscious and following certain guidelines based on the Ageless Wisdom Teachings) means of contacting one’s soul and of eventually becoming at-one with the soul. Also the process of being open to spiritual impression and thus to cooperation with the Spiritual Hierarchy.
Mental body ― The vehicle of the personality on the mental planes.
Mental plane ― The plane of the mind where mental processes take place.

Occult ― Hidden. The hidden science of energy (see Esotericism).
Overshadowing ― A voluntary cooperative process in which a Master’s consciousness temporarily enters and works through the physical, emotional and mental bodies of a disciple.
Permanent atoms ― The three atoms of matter ― physical, astral and mental ― around which the bodies for a new incarnation are formed. They retain the vibratory rate of the individual at the moment of death, guaranteeing that the energetic evolutionary status thus far achieved will be carried over into successive lives.
Personality ― Three-fold vehicle of the soul on the physical plane, consisting of a mental, an emotional (astral) and a physical-etheric body.
Physical plane ― The lowest vibrational states of substance, including: dense physical, liquid, gaseous and etheric matter.

Plane ― A level of manifestation.
Planetary Logos ― See Sanat Kumara.
Pralaya ― A non-mental, non-astral, non-material state of existence somewhere between death and rebirth, where the life impulse is in abeyance. An experience of perfect peace and unending bliss prior to taking the next incarnation. Corresponds to the Christian idea of paradise.
Rays ― The seven streams of universal divine energy, each the expression of a great Life, whose interaction at every conceivable frequency creates the solar systems, galaxies and universes. Movement of these energies, in spiralling cycles, draws all Being into and out of manifestation, colouring and saturating it with specific qualities and attributes.
Reincarnation (Law of Rebirth) ― The process which allows God, through an agent (ourselves) to bring Itself down to Its polar opposite ― matter ― in order to bring that matter back into Itself, totally imbued with the nature of God. The Law of Karma draws us back into incarnation until gradually, through the evolutionary process, we reveal more truly our innate divinity. Due to the evolution of consciousness, human beings do not reincarnate as animals or insects; this is a distorted view of reincarnation.
Sanat Kumara ― The Lord of the World; the etheric-physical expression of our Planetary Logos who dwells on Shamballa. A great Being, originally from Venus, who sacrificed Himself to become the personality vehicle for the ensouling deity of our planet 18,5 million years ago. The nearest aspect of God that we can know.
Self/Monad ― The divine spark within every human being. The next and higher level of conscious awareness above that of the soul. Also referred to as “Spirit”.
Self-realization ― The process of recognizing and expressing our divine nature. The Masters of Wisdom are all Self-realized beings, having conscious control on all levels of human and ‘super-human’ planes of existence.
Shamballa ― A centre of energy; the major centre in the planet. It is located above the Gobi Desert on the two highest etheric planes. From it and through it flows the Shamballa Force ― the energy of Will or Purpose. It corresponds to the crown centre (chakra).
Solar Logos ― Divine Being ensouling our solar system.
Soul (Ego, Higher Self, inner ruler, Christ within, Son of Mind, Solar Angel) ― The linking principle between Spirit and matter; between God and His form. Provides consciousness, character and quality to all manifestation in form.
Spirit ― As used by Maitreya, a term meaning the sum-total of the energies ― the life force ― animating and vitalizing an individual. Also used, more esoterically, to mean the Monad which reflects itself in the soul.
Spirit of Peace or Equilibrium ― A cosmic Being who assists the work of Maitreya by overshadowing him with His energy. He works closely with the Law of Action and Reaction, to transform the present chaotic conditions into the opposite state in exact proportion.
Spiritual ― The quality of any activity which drives the human being forward towards some form of development ― physical, emotional, intuitional, social ― in advance of his present state.
Spiritual Hierarchy (White Brotherhood, Society of Illumined Minds, The Elder Brothers of Humanity, The Masters of Wisdom) ― The Kingdom of God, the Spiritual Kingdom or the Kingdom of souls, made up of the Masters and initiates of all degrees and whose purpose is to implement the Plan of God. Planetary centre of Love-Wisdom.
Transmission Meditation ― A specialized form of group meditation and service in which the members offer their energy centres (chakras) as instruments for stepping down the energies emanating from the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters. It provides the planet with a pool of energy more accessible and useful to humanity. Also a potent method of personal spiritual development. Introduced to the world by Benjamin Creme in cooperation with his Master. It is the form of meditation for the New Age.
Triangle ― A group of three people who link up each day in thought for a few minutes of creative meditation, as part of a network of energetic triangles. The Triangles Movement was initiated by the Master Djwhal Khul.
Vehicle ― The form by means of which higher beings find expression on the lower planes. The physical, astral and mental bodies, for instance, form the vehicles of the soul on lower levels.
World Teacher ― The head of the Spiritual Hierarchy in any given cycle. The Master of all the Masters. The office held at present by the Lord Maitreya.
Yoga ― Union of the lower nature with the higher. Different forms and techniques to gain control of the physical, astral or mental bodies. | <urn:uuid:4b7d026c-fa8d-4ee3-bb47-b33308ceeb86> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://uk.share-international.org/in-depth/glossary/ | 2020-09-27T06:29:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.918128 | 3,667 |
The food addiction model has made headlines in recent years, but how much of it is actually true? Let’s examine how these assumptions are fueling a harmful narrative.
The theory of food addiction is controversial. Despite what mainstream media and health gurus have led you to believe, the research to date is inconclusive.
As such, the current food addiction narrative is more misinformed and fear-mongering than anything that’s actually substantiated by legitimate, long-term peer-reviewed research.
For example, let’s take a look at the existing sugar detox frenzy. It’s important to first acknowledge that you don’t need sugar, per se, for your physical wellbeing.
You do need carbohydrates though, and it’s very common for those concerned about eating sugar to throw a blanket over all types of carbohydrates only to find themselves in restrictive eating patterns that aren’t nutritionally adequate. So while there’s no general argument over whether sugar is healthy or not, it’s more about the effect that eliminating sugar (and any other carbs) has on food behaviors.
In fact, when you dig into the research, it becomes overwhelmingly apparent that the rationale for researching food addiction, or being concerned with possible addictive behaviors, to food is deeply rooted in weight stigma and fighting the “obesity epidemic”.
Conventional thought is that body discontent will motivate someone toward healthier behaviors around food. However, mounting evidence is finding the opposite – that body discontent is associated with disordered eating patterns, binge eating, lower levels of physical activity and increased weight gain over time.
The reality is that weight stigma – or stereotyping based on a person’s weight – is positively correlated with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Let’s take a closer look to examine some of the most common assumptions around food addiction.
WHO’S REALLY EATING MORE?
One common stereotype and assumption made about those living in larger bodies is that they eat more. These individuals themselves may internalize that belief and blame themselves for eating amounts that are actually adequate and no different than those in thin bodies.
However, studies conducted on free living adults have shown individuals with a variety of BMI’s can show little difference, on average, in calorie consumption. There is a considerable difference for calorie intake within each BMI group, with many smaller people eating more than larger people. It’s important to challenge this assumption because it fuels the idea that caloric restriction is necessary or even healthy for those classified as “overweight” or “obese”.
IS THE ADDICT LABEL ACCURATE?
The food addiction model has two specific drawbacks: 1) it was adapted from screening tools for drug and alcohol addiction; and 2) it doesn’t account for restrained or restrictive eating patterns. Clearly, these are huge red flags.
First, we can encourage abstinence from drugs and alcohol but not from food. You still need to eat. Secondly, does declaring yourself as an addict actually feel empowering? In the case of sugar, declaring that you’ll never eat it again and always saying no may make you feel “in control” momentarily, but biology always catches up. In fact, you are more likely to feel controlled by the food rules you’ve adopted, and extreme shame if and when you disobey those rules.
And if addiction is the result of unmet emotional needs, then avoidance may be the common denominator between drugs, alcohol, and food, not addiction itself. It’s more likely helpful to encourage alternative coping strategies for uncomfortable emotions or difficult life stressors than abstinence. As Linda Bacon, author of Health At Every Size, once said: “Food is a wonderful source of pleasure, but it will get you into trouble if it’s the only source of pleasure you have in your life.”
DOESN’T IT HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS DRUGS?
You may have heard reports of studies on rats, and the way sugar lit up the same neural pathways as cocaine. However, when you look closely at these studies, this only occurred when rats underwent forced restriction – such as a human on a diet. In other words, deprivation increases the reward response from food, but it doesn’t make the brain dependent on it.
Also, it’s important to acknowledge these same reward centers respond when you listen to music, pet your cat or hear a baby giggle. Plus, you’re not a rat; we need human studies to be able to fully apply any research findings.
IF FOOD ISN’T THE SOURCE OF OBESITY, WHAT IS?
Weight stigma, fatphobia, and the concern for “obesity” has led us to label individuals as addicts rather than leaning in to identify the true source of someone’s pain. Rather than categorizing their compulsive behaviors as symptoms of addictions, view them as symptoms of distrust for their bodies and a brain stuck in a pendulum-swinging diet mentality.
In fact, food restriction is more likely to cause compulsive behaviors, such as binge eating, and those who feel deeply troubled by their food behaviors need professional support, not another cleanse or detox.
The truth is, all-or-nothing mentalities have never been helpful.
And labeling sugar or any food as “unhealthy”, “toxic”, or “addictive” can easily lead to extremes in eating, which is more unhealthy than any one food. Ultimately, balance, variety and flexibility are always the key to adequate nutrition for a healthier body.
Remember, you’re a human who’s living in the grey.

Adolf Hitler joins German Workers' Party
Corporal Adolf Hitler was ordered in September 1919 to investigate a small group in Munich known as the German Workers' Party.
The use of the term 'workers' attracted the attention of the German Army which was now involved in crushing Marxist uprisings.
On September 12, dressed in civilian clothes, Hitler went to a meeting of the German Workers' Party in the back room of a Munich beer hall, with about twenty five people. He listened to a speech on economics by Gottfried Feder entitled, "How and by what means is capitalism to be eliminated?"
After the speech, Hitler began to leave when a man rose up and spoke in favor of the German state of Bavaria breaking away from Germany and forming a new South German nation with Austria.
This enraged Hitler and he spoke out forcefully against the man for the next fifteen minutes uninterrupted, to the astonishment of everyone. One of the founders of the German Workers' Party, Anton Drexler, reportedly whispered: "...he's got the gift of the gab. We could use him."
After Hitler's outburst ended, Drexler hurried to Hitler and gave him a forty page pamphlet entitled: "My Political Awakening." He urged Hitler to read it and also invited Hitler to come back again.
Early the next morning, sitting in his cot in the barracks of the 2nd Infantry Regiment watching the mice eat bread crumbs he left for them on the floor, Hitler remembered the pamphlet and read it. He was delighted to find the pamphlet, written by Drexler, reflected political thinking much like his own - building a strong nationalist, pro-military, anti-Semitic party made up of working class people.
A few days later, Hitler received an unexpected postcard saying he had been accepted as a member into the party. He was asked to attend an executive committee meeting, which he did. At that meeting he was joyfully welcomed as a new member although he was actually very undecided on whether to join.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes the condition of the party: "...aside from a few directives, there was nothing, no program, no leaflet, no printed matter at all, no membership cards, not even a miserable rubber stamp..."
Although unimpressed by the present condition of the German Workers' Party, Hitler was drawn to the sentiment expressed by Drexler that this would somehow become a movement not just a political party. And in this disorganized party, Hitler saw opportunity. | <urn:uuid:675b1018-df5c-4f22-8462-9477d61ea32a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://worldhistoryproject.org/1919/adolf-hitler-joins-german-workers-party | 2020-09-27T07:11:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.982944 | 512 |
Scal-e helps brands deliver the right message, at the right time, to the right person and through the right channel.
However, the issue of customer relations depends directly on the quality of the customer knowledge.
Without precise and up-to-date customer intelligence, it is impossible to build quality, personalized and relevant relationships. An impeccable customer-centric database is therefore necessary to effectively manage relational strategies, recruit, animate or develop long-term loyalty.
That's where we come in.
Scal-e, via the implementation of a 100% tailor-made DataMart, makes it possible to capture all the data and organize them around unified profiles in order to personalize omnichannel interactions and to have relevant, reliable and actionable information available in real time.
We wanted to take the issue further, with a platform architecture designed to execute rich, fluid and real-time relational strategies, by connecting this reliable and unique DataMart to all of the complementary tools. This enables you to create audiences (scores, aggregates, segmentations, targeting, ...), orchestrate communications on all channels or for steering purposes using the native integrations of business intelligence or reporting tools.
Scal-e's 5 modules :
- Data Management (collection, processing, standardization, profile unification ,...)
- Audience Builder (scores, segmentations, aggregates,...)
- Omnichannel Orchestration (email, sms, social networks, digital card,...)

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has been diagnosed with upper back muscle bruises and a small crack in his left scapula after being removed from the first of two games today in New York, according to MLB.com’s Gregor Chisholm.
— Gregor Chisholm (@gregorMLB) September 13, 2015
It is said that Tulo will be monitored by the club for the next week or so before a timetable for his return can be established. According to Sportsnet’s Megan Robinson, Troy will speak to the media tomorrow.
For those of you wondering what exactly a scapula is, it can also be referred to as a shoulder blade, which if continued to be used could seriously affect the way he plays game not just offensively, but defensively as well.
The injury occurred as a result of a collision with center fielder Kevin Pillar. | <urn:uuid:15fe4451-ce16-4529-8ebf-8b6d4595e238> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.baseballessential.com/news/2015/09/12/tulo-diagnosed-upper-muscle-bruises-left-scapula-crack-collision-pillar/ | 2020-09-27T06:33:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966579 | 184 |
Although the newly liberated brand will still tune Volvo vehicles and market performance kits for them, it will also be "developing a fabulous portfolio of bespoke products".
Autocar understands Polestar is mulling one or two bespoke for its separately branded range. One of these is said to be a coupe with around 445kW (600hp) of power, and a large amount of weight saving carbon-fibre.
A concept for the new Polestar coupe could debut as soon as the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, which takes place in September. It's thought the coupe will be based on Volvo's SPA platform, which currently underpins the XC60, S90, V90 and XC90.
Above: Volvo XC60.
Motivation for the Polestar coupe will reportedly come from a heavily revised version of the T8 plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which features a 2.0-litre supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, and an electric motor.
If the 445kW target is real and achieved, it would be big jump up from the 300kW/640Nm currently developed by the regular T8 drivetrain, and 314kW from Polestar's "optimised" version.
To get to the impressive 445kW number, the T8 driven may be given a larger, more powerful electric motor, which would sacrifice range and fuel economy for extra dollops of performance. | <urn:uuid:21af53f9-3a1d-4461-9e07-9fb4eab18dd7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.caradvice.com.au/567297/polestars-first-car-could-a-unique-plug-in-hybrid-coupe-report/ | 2020-09-27T07:52:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.934342 | 307 |
Israel’s air strike on a Syrian weapons convoy is not the first such successful attack they have done. In September 2007, Israel attacked the nuclear reactor Syria was building (with North Korean help) and eliminated it. In both these cases, Syria’s air defenses proved worthless and Israel lost no planes.
These facts are worth noting because a major and repeated excuse for American passivity in Syria has been the claimed effectiveness of those air defenses. Last March, for example, New York Times editor Bill Keller voiced the conventional view of those supporting Obama policy by arguing that the President was right about Libya but is also right about Syria:
Syria is much harder. Libya had weak air defenses deployed along the coastline, easily accessible to Western bombers. Syria’s defenses are more lethal, more plentiful and spread across inland population centers.
More recently the Times expressed its own editorial view about intervening in any way in Syria:
the hazards are substantial. Syria is more complicated than Libya, where NATO aided a rebel victory by establishing a no-fly zone. It has more advanced Russian air defense systems near population centers that would have to be taken out first, which could cause more civilian casualties.
We are left wondering why Israel seems to be able to dodge those "advanced," "lethal," "plentiful" air defenses at will. Here’s a theory. The U.S. Air Force is plenty capable of doing what the Israeli Air Force has done. Syria’s air defenses are a problem and a threat, but they are above all an excuse for inaction. They appear to be far more effective at justifying our policy of inaction than they are at bringing down attacking airplanes. | <urn:uuid:65275023-e6ba-4577-9959-92bb3b1a3803> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cfr.org/blog/what-was-about-syrias-lethal-air-defenses | 2020-09-27T07:32:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962899 | 343 |
The UAE is well on its way to cementing itself as a leading technology hub in the region as the drive towards diversifying the economy through technology and innovation continues. Benefitting from a young, tech savvy and entrepreneurial population, Dubai and Abu Dhabi remain the destination of choice for Fintech firms.
Technology-based companies have been identified as key drivers of growth, supported by an advanced technological infrastructure and governmental support, firmly positioning the UAE as a fast-emerging regional hub for start-ups within the financial sector.
In a bid to become part of a connected nation, customers in the UAE are becoming increasingly receptive to alternative payment methods from established technology firms such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Amazon, and Google. There are already a growing number of young people who bypass the traditional financial institutions in favour of transacting exclusively via disruptive mechanisms such as PayPal and bitcoin.
This rapidly advancing technology has taught consumers to demand everyday information instantaneously and with little effort—and now consumers want more control over their money. that is where open banking comes in. As open banking increases in popularity, it is imperative that end users are safeguarded from identity theft and data breaches.
Essentially, open banking is the sharing of financial information from banks to third parties. With consent from the consumer, these third parties can access reams of financial data, such as transaction history and spending behaviour, which was, until now, held solely by the banks. Technologies such as biometric software, government ID document readers, and identity and access management (IAM) solutions all support the secure transition from traditional to open banking interactions.
Users can look forward to a secure environment, delivering identity verification, user authentication, transaction verification, and fraud prevention to create a seamless user experience, regardless of device. Machine learning, and artificial intelligence routines can be used to develop personalised authentication profiles for individuals, creating personalised authentication scenarios.
Ultimately, machine learning creates a personalised risk assessment for each individual, with each authentication need. For example, if there are no suspicious activities for a given user when conducting a transaction, the individual will receive less authentication requests.
The process allows a person to be identified and authenticated based on a set of recognisable and verifiable data, which are unique and specific to them, creating a more seamless and secure user experience. The provision of a secure environment is not simply a response to user requirements but is also a regulatory obligation.
We have seen a sharp rise in cyberattacks and breaches, and the financial services sector is a particularly hot target given the assets it holds. And when Gemalto conducted a survey of 11,000 digital and mobile banking consumers across 14 markets, we found that, 49 per cent of UAE customers would switch their bank if their current bank had experienced a security breach and 52 per cent would switch to a provider with more rigorous measures.
So, regulation calling for greater security and control is, in general, a sensible move in line with what the market is doing anyway. Biometrics remain a key part of the multi-factor authentication mix. Biometric technology as a means of authenticating identity is on the rise and form an integral part of a broader multi-factor set of authentication credentials.
By this we mean that it can play the role of “something you are”, and then you need “something you know”—a passphrase, for example—and something you have, like a physical token. For many relatively low-value transactions, it may well be that a simple biometric reading alone would be sufficient, but if you hit certain thresholds you might trigger a second.
In the near future, a majority of UAE banks plan to offer more biometric solutions to their customers. Within the next five years more than 88 per cent plan to have fingerprint scanning, 67 per cent face recognition and voice recognition is to be used by 64 per cent.
Iris recognition remains the most intricate method, but still an impressive 65 per cent of banks have plans to implement this. Customers are becoming increasingly demanding with increasing expectations from technology. To be truly satisfactory, the digital banking experience needs to go far beyond user friendliness and responsiveness.
The expectation is not only to access core services such as bill payment and transfers but to tap into associated products and services such as loans, saving plans and investment. Open banking provides an opportunity for innovation in a fast-evolving sector.
Banks are adopting an agile approach and are focused on utilising mechanisms to create a new set of customer experiences delivering no only security but convenience. Fintech start-ups are already trying in this vein, using real-time transaction data to build up a careful profile of each customer and offering other, secure, transaction options to customers.
Open banking appears to offer many positives, however, regulators must be careful, as it is not without its risks. The second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) was recently implemented in Europe and is responsible for ensuring that banks adhere to rules and regulations around open banking.
This was a significant move for the payments industry as access to this information will help new entrants create innovative new products and services and ultimately better serve the consumer. Here in the UAE, the Central Bank brought in similar regulations to address payment service providers (PSPs) and the adoption of digital payments across the emirates.
With the transformation underway, strong authentication standards are needed to deliver the promises of open banking and a careful balance between fighting fraud and keeping consumers happy must be struck. | <urn:uuid:1b6531c1-3ab7-4232-b6a8-2665ab790491> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cpifinancial.net/bme/news/open-banking-in-uae-putting-consumers-in-the-drivers-seat | 2020-09-27T07:43:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.945708 | 1,116 |

- Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
Who do these cover, including categories of workers?
Depending on the circumstances, independent contractors, dependent contractors, consultants, interns, employees of affiliates, employees from temporary agencies and third party employees can be considered employees or workers for some common law or statutory purposes.
The definition of “employee” and “worker” varies among the legislation. The Labour Relations Act, 1995, for instance, explicitly includes “dependent contractor” in the definition of “employee”. The Occupational Health and Safety Act defines “worker” to include self-employed individuals, independent contractors and temporary workers.
Are there state-specific rules regarding employee/contractor misclassification?
A person may be classified as an independent contractor at common law, but because of economic dependence on and control by the entity for which the services are performed, legally qualify as a dependent contractor.
A person may also be classified as a dependent contractor notwithstanding that he or she conducts business through a corporation and hires others to assist in the performance of the work.
The usual distinction between a dependent contractor as compared to an independent contractor is that a dependent contractor is entitled to reasonable notice of termination of the agreement.
Different employment related legislation (ie. tax and safety) may treat dependent or independent contractors as employees or workers subject to particular legislation.
Must an employment contract be in writing?
While preferable for the protection of both parties, an employment contract need not be in writing. To be enforceable, an employment contract simply requires the requisite elements of any contract: an offer made with the intent to create legal relations, acceptance of that offer, consideration, capacity, and legality. Where a written contract of employment has been contemplated but not signed, the contractual agreement will be enforceable if the conduct of the parties shows that their clear intent was to enter into a binding contract. In many cases contracts are part oral, part written, and part implied by the common law.
Are any terms implied into employment contracts?
Employment contracts can be oral or written and may include express and implied terms. It is implied in every contract of employment that an employer will provide the employee with reasonable notice in the event of termination, except in the event of just cause. Other examples of implied terms are that employees will perform their duties with reasonable skill and diligence, and that they have a duty of loyalty to their employee. Usually only senior employees would owe a fiduciary duty to their employers.
Are mandatory arbitration agreements enforceable?
Section 7(1) of the Arbitrations Act, 1991 states:
“If a party to an arbitration agreement commences a proceeding in respect of a matter to be submitted to arbitration under the agreement, the court in which the proceeding is commenced shall, on the motion of another party to the arbitration agreement, stay the proceeding.”
Ontario courts have held that the language of section 7(1) of the Arbitrations Act, 1991 is mandatory and requires the court to stay a proceeding when there is an agreement to arbitrate and the dispute is properly within the mandate of the arbitrator. It is for the arbitrator to determine in the first instance whether a matter in dispute is subject to arbitration.
How can employers make changes to existing employment agreements?
Any amendment or renegotiation of the employment agreement must usually be agreed to by both parties and must be founded up new consideration. An employee can make unilateral changes to certain terms of employment if that is permitted under the contract of employment or with sufficient notice of the proposed change to the employee. Continued employment is not valid consideration for a mutually agreed variation. If a material change to an employment agreement is made unilaterally, without reasonable notice and the employee does not consent, the employee may bring an action for constructive dismissal or claim damages for breach of contract.

Assisted dying is legal if patients suffering from intolerable pain, Italian court rules in landmark decision
Euthanasia is justified in cases where a person is suffering from an irreversible condition and “intolerable” pain, Italy’s constitutional court has ruled in a landmark decision.
The court said that, in certain circumstances, anyone who "facilitates the suicidal intention… of a patient kept alive by life-support treatments and suffering from an irreversible pathology" should not be punished.
The ruling was strongly criticised by the Catholic Church but applauded by right-to-die activists and some politicians.
In its judgment, the court said that assisted dying should be allowed if a patient had an irreversible condition which caused him or her severe physical and psychological suffering.
The court made the decision after considering the case of Marco Cappato, a right-to-die activist who was accused of assisting the suicide of a 40-year-old DJ who was left a tetraplegic after a horrific car accident in 2014.
Fabiano Antoniani, better known as DJ Fabo, took his own life at a Swiss euthanasia clinic in 2017.
He had been left profoundly disabled by the crash, as well as blind and in need of assistance to eat and breath.
Mr Cappato welcomed the ruling, saying that “as of today, all of us in Italy are freer.”
In a trial in Milan, he was facing up to 12 years in jail for "instigating or assisting suicide" but is now likely to be acquitted.
The DJ’s former girlfriend also hailed the court’s judgment, saying that it meant his suffering had not been for nothing.
"Fabo’s body had become a cage and he lived in that prison for two years and nine months. If a person in these conditions dreams of dying at home, I find it profoundly unfair that someone else should say no,” said Valeria Imbrogno.
But the Italian Bishops’ Conference called the judgment a “grave decision” which violated the sanctity of life.
“I don’t understand how you can talk of freedom. This is creating the preconditions for a culture of death,” said Monsignor Stefano Russo, the secretary general of the Catholic body.
The court’s decision divided politics. It was supported by members of the centre-Left Democratic Party, who together with the populist Five Star Movement formed a new coalition last month.
Andrea Marcucci, a Democrat senator, said the “ping pong” debate that had gone on for years between society and the Catholic Church should now be laid to rest, and called on parliament to pass a new law.
But Matteo Salvini, the leader of the hard-Right League who was interior minister and deputy prime minister until his coalition with Five Star imploded last month, said he would never agree to "suicide by law".
Simone Pillon, a senator from the League, was highly critical of the judgment, saying that patients should be given all possible palliative care but should not be allowed to end their own lives. “Human life is sacred and inviolable,” he said. The decision of the court’s judges would “weigh on their consciences for life,” he said.
An association of Catholic doctors said they would not abide by the court’s decision and would fight "a slide towards euthanasia and a violation of our professional code".

On Friday, 23 February 2018, the European Council met in Brussels at an informal meeting to discuss the EU’s long-term budgetary plans and Institutional issues. Brexit, relations with Turkey, and Syria were also discussed. The meeting took place under the Leaders’ Agenda and as the discussions were future-orientated, leaders met in an EU27 format without the UK.
Multiannual Financial Framework
The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) determines the limits for the annual general budgets of the EU, covering a period of no less than five years. Recent MFFs have usually covered a period of seven years.
EU27 leaders debated their political priorities for the MFF post-2020, when the current budgetary period is due to finish. In an invitation letter to EU leaders, European Council President, Donald Tusk, recalled that the European Council agreed in October 2017 “to conduct a debate about our priorities, so that the European Commission can receive political guidance from the European Council, before coming up with its proposals”.
In a press conference following Friday’s meeting, President Tusk acknowledged the difficulties of budgetary negotiations but said EU27 leaders had “agreed that the EU will spend more on stemming illegal migration, on defence and security, as well as on the Erasmus+ programme”. President Tusk also referenced other areas of continued importance for the European Council such as cohesion policy, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), investments in research and innovation, and pan-European infrastructure, while emphasising the need to address the gap in the budget that will be caused by Brexit.
EU27 leaders agreed to try to speed up the process of EU budgetary negotiations. President Tusk noted that coming to an agreement this year already “seems really difficult”, but that “despite usual differences, all leaders are ready to work on the modernisation of the EU budget and its policies. And many more are ready to contribute more to the post-2020 budget.”
Among other Institutional issues, the EU27 leaders discussed the composition of the European Parliament after the 2019 elections, post-Brexit. On 7 February 2018, the European Parliament had proposed a change in its composition (see EM Ireland’s handy explainer here). The proposal would see a reduction in the number of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from 751 to 705, while a proposal to introduce a transnational list for the 2019 European Parliament elections was rejected. President Tusk stated that EU27 leaders “broadly supported” the idea that the number of MEP seats should be reduced once the UK leaves the EU. With regard to transnational lists, it was stated that EU leaders would revisit the topic in the future, looking ahead to the European Parliament elections in 2024.
EU27 leaders also discussed the Spitzenkandidaten process (see EM Ireland’s handy explainer here). In a resolution on 7 February 2018, the European Parliament had agreed that they will reject any candidate for President of the European Commission who is not a lead candidate of one of the European political groups. President Tusk announced that after discussing the Spitzenkandidaten process, EU27 leaders agreed “the European Council cannot guarantee in advance that it will propose one of the lead candidates for President of the European Commission. There is no automaticity in this process. The Treaty [on European Union (TEU)] is very clear that it is the autonomous competence of the European Council to nominate the candidate, while taking into account the European [Parliament] elections, and having held appropriate consultations.”
In response to a suggestion made previously by European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, to merge the position of European Commission President and European Council President in the future, President Tusk declared “there was no appetite to take this forward. Above all, because it would substantially reduce the role of Member States in the EU.”
President Tusk said he informed EU27 leaders that he would present draft guidelines on the future EU-UK relationship at the European Council Summit in March, and said the EU leaders’ “intention is to adopt these guidelines, whether the UK is ready with its vision of our future relations, or not”.
Relations with Turkey
President of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, and Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, informed the other EU27 leaders of developments regarding Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean. President Tusk expressed solidarity with Cyprus and Greece and called on Turkey to stop these “illegal violations”.
In relation to the ongoing crisis in Syria, President Tusk urged for an end to the violence and said “the EU calls for an immediate ceasefire, and for providing urgent humanitarian access to and protection of civilians”.
A formal European Council Summit will take place in Brussels on 22-23 March 2018. | <urn:uuid:3f06060e-d5a2-4bbe-b669-115d7d91c71e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.europeanmovement.ie/informal-european-council-meeting-23-february-2018/ | 2020-09-27T06:29:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.957148 | 1,012 |
I drive. You said you were tired, hadn’t slept all night. The journey to the Lakes takes longer than I remembered. There are more cars on the road, the lorries are bigger; they conspire to keep me in the slow lanes, and new underpasses baffle me.
Between the shrug of a shoulder and a sigh, you dig me out, snipe about my driving skills, but I take it. I make a show of forbearance even though inside I’m churning. I want this to work so badly that I allow myself to appear foolish and your criticisms go unchallenged. You think this trip is a bad idea.
I suggest a CD but you can’t be bothered to select one and tune the radio to a news channel. Perfect. It’s as if we’ve picked up hitch-hikers and they’re busy melting the glacier between us using blasts of hot air. My breath evens out for the first time since leaving town and I recall every detail of the day you told me.
I had spent the afternoon tidying the garden. A robin had perched on the severed limb of the rose bush, pruned for winter sleep. The wind blew unruly leaves around my feet as I raked them. Later, I watched as you prepared the supper; your back hunched over the chopping board, steam curling from a saucepan at your elbow. Jess phoned to give me her holiday dates. She’s spending Christmas with us and she asked me if Finn could come too. I flicked three pages and wrote their names on the calendar.
‘Do you think he’s Irish or maybe Scandinavian?’ I asked.
‘Can’t tell these days. It’s all about what’s fashionable.’ You sprinkled cheddar on the shepherd’s pie and put it in the oven to bake.
Jess & Finn. Looking at the names together in the little square on the December page, I’m transported to a bullet-train, fast-forward fantasy world of weddings and grandchildren: a long table with Finn and his speculative brothers in Irish clan tartan, Jess glowing; bridal in lace and silk, her eyes wide at the wonder of the future she is stepping into so gracefully. And you, handsome in a suit. Then Finn and you are bonding over Harlequins, Jess is pregnant, and there are family holidays that once again involve buckets and spades and trips to the zoo. Within the time it takes for you to open the wine, I have mapped out the future us in my head.
‘Surely, it’s about time,’ I said, but you didn’t ask me to explain.
You’d held your cards so close, that I never knew what was coming. No letters kept sealed to open later, no phone calls hastily concluded. No smashed mirrors or lone magpies on a churchyard wall. Just life going on as it did the day before and the day before that. It was only after we sat opposite each other at dinner I felt your unease, and stupidly, I thought you were unhappy with the meal. ‘It’s lovely,’ I said.
All your movements became measured and precise: the way you laid the fork at a right angle on your plate, the way you placed the wine glass dead centre on the coaster.
‘I’m leaving, Kitty.’
At first, I pretended I’d misheard. ‘What? What did you say?’
‘I’m leaving you. I’ve been thinking about it and I believe it’s the right time to go.’
You seemed to shrink; your head bowed, your shoulders sloping downwards and your chest disappearing inwards, as if the words had been made of air that kept you inflated. Having released them to hang in the silence above the table, you were reduced. Concave. At least you had the decency to lose your appetite.
‘What do you mean it’s the right time?’
‘I’ve found a little basement flat, it’s very cheap.’
‘Stop messing about, Frank. What’s wrong with you?’
‘Nothing is wrong. It’s just that it’s been thirty-five years. Living here, with you. And I want to try something new. Start over.’
‘Have you found someone else?’
‘No. Absolutely not. I just feel like my life is slipping away.’
‘Don’t be such an old fool, you can’t just up and leave.’ It begins to sink in that you might be serious.
‘I have to go. I have to see what’s out there for me.’
I rose from the table and stood in the middle of the hallway, staring at the frosted glass in the front door. As if outside, there was an explanation. It was a joke and on the path, there stood a whole party of family and friends hiding, giggling, waiting to shout. ‘Fooled you! He’s not really leaving, he’s only winding you up!’ But there was just the sound of the street: a car passed by, neighbours greeted each other and the same wind that made the leaves whorl and spin around the garden rattled the front gate. Bewildered by the pointless hovering in the hall, I turned back and sat down with a hand placed over my stomach.
‘Why can’t you do the things you want to do and still be here?’ I regretted it immediately as I already knew the answer.
‘I don’t love you anymore.’
When I first suggested the trip to the old cottage you laughed.
‘What’s the point? Why prolong the agony?’ you said.
‘Do it for me, just so that I know you’re sure. Then that’s it,’ I reply. Thinking as I’ve done for the past week that you’ll fall in love again when you see the lake, the fire in the black grate, and the bed that used to creak and sway when we were younger.
The car jerks as it mounts the kerb, you unbuckle your seatbelt and get out before I have time to gather my things. First, I try to turn the key in the lock, then you take it and, as always, the lock yields. No internet-friendly, holiday-let, I found the cottage pinned to a cork notice board in a staffroom long ago. The blue biro description spoke of a rustic, lakeside retreat. The postcard with its yellowing picture and its creases is still kept in an old address book.
The door hinges squeal just the way they did back then and in the air you can smell the lake, dog hair and air diffuser. The same armchairs and sofa sag by the fireplace, and through the brown, beaded curtain is the kitchen. It has been modernised, and the backdoor is aluminium-framed and as wide as the back wall. You once said if the cottage had been ours you would have put in a sliding door to take advantage of the view. And you have been proved right. The backyard slopes down to the lakeside, the branches of trees make an elegant arch to frame the water and we can see the sky. I stand and inhale memories.
Of when we lay upstairs in the freezing bed, noses dripping and fingers gripping the raw weave of blankets, until our bodies glowed hot like stones placed on spent embers. Of toasting thin white bread held on forks over the fire you lit. Of kindling we spent the whole day collecting in winter woods. Of curlews skimming like ghosts in the morning mist rising off the lake. Of swimming in the glistening path made by moonlight on water, our laughter scattering birds; raucous in their preternatural flight.
The curlews are still here. They wade in the muddy pools amidst a backdrop of reeds, their needle-thin beaks sifting the water. We stand watching them. The fibres of our wool jumpers are charged and seem to reach out to connect; we’re so close in the little kitchen. I want to touch you. Lay my head on your shoulder and sneak my arms under yours so that you cannot help but hold me. I want you to catch my scent and breathe deeply. I want the air to be warmed between us. You turn to fill the kettle and I fold my arms, feeling the hard fists dig into my breasts.
‘This is a bad idea,’ you sigh. It’s a final, heavy exhalation.
We open tinned soup, bought at the local shop and dip bread, sitting at the table in the living room.
‘We could go to the pub later and have fish and chips,’ I say.
‘This isn’t right, Kitty. I’m sorry.’ You wipe your hands on your jeans and lean back. ‘I should just go. This is too painful.’
‘If it’s too painful maybe you don’t really want to go.’
‘I’m going. I’ve made up my mind and you need to get used to it.’ You leave the table and take your bowl to the sink. The beads of the curtain swing and clatter.
‘You haven’t given me an explanation yet. You owe me that at least,’ I call.
You return. ‘It’s not you, Kit. You are wonderful.’
‘When I said I didn’t love you, I meant, I don’t love you enough to want to spend the rest of my life with you. I feel sometimes that I can’t breathe anymore.’
It’s my turn to get up, use the distance from table to sink to prepare my response. I want to say, let’s just go upstairs. If we can’t get it back, get the feeling back, then I’ll give you up. But instead, something in the sky outside the big new door catches my eye and the words fragment as they hurtle up into space.
‘Frank, come and look. There’s an osprey.’
The bird is magnificent. It wheels above the trees and over the lake, forming a perfect, sweeping circle. It catches the sun and turns silver, then turns silhouette, all the time circling over the green-grey water. You stand behind me. A small wow escapes from your lips.
‘It must be migrating. It’s late though,’ I say.
‘It’s been a mild autumn. I wish I’d brought my binoculars,’ you said as if you still loved me and you hadn’t just told me you didn’t.
The bird spins and the fan tail seems to trail a ring of argent against the blue as I follow it. Then, as if we had paid to see it perform, it dives, feet first, disappearing beyond the tree canopy before reappearing; its wing tips thrashing water. The sun, low in the autumn sky, turns the lake to gold and the bird quivers throwing molten droplets into the air. The osprey rises again and a twisting, writhing fish is held captive in its talons. The wings arc and spread and arc and spread to find a thermal. It turns south, gliding away from us and I wonder where it’s heading.
You whistle, long and slow.
I turn to face you, I’m so near I can see every line, all the crow’s feet canyons that reflect my own.
Your voice quivers. ‘Kitty. Maybe…’
‘If you hurry you can catch the next train,’ I say.
‘Call a taxi, it’ll get you to the station for half past. You’re right. This is a bad idea, you should go.’ I’m nodding at my own sagacity.
You wait in the old armchair, small and forlorn; descending into its cushions. We haven’t lit the fire and it will soon be dark. I think I should ask you to see to it before you leave, but we
sit in the cold half-light and talk about practical things.
‘Will you tell Jess, or will I?’ I ask.
‘I’ll ring her tomorrow morning. When will you be home?’
‘Does it matter?’
‘I can take my stuff. Be gone by the time you get back.’
I have to remove myself from the pain so I stand by the sink looking out. The osprey is a welcome memory. I should have used my phone and got a picture, I think. His departure reminds me that winter is on the doorstep, knocking with icy knuckles, its pale eyes in a dead white face.
A water bird glides across the lake and disappears, leaving ripples that catch the last remaining light. A hard light. A defining light. There is a stillness outside the window as if the world is holding its breath. If I opened the thickly glazed backdoor, I would hear roosting birds but I choose the silence.
The taxi arrives out front, it scrapes its wheels on the kerbstone.
The sky is the colour of cheap blue paint. Set against it fire-coloured clouds turn into dragons. Their backs are covered in grey scales but their underbellies are dappled pink and gold; up-lit by the sinking sun. I try to see the image of the osprey in amongst them and find it, golden wings spread, ready to descend.
‘Well, I’ll be off,’ you say.
Just outside the window, midges rise to roll and tumble like crazed acrobats in a minute circus. The dragon clouds vanish and the sun dips further into the lake and is held captive as it sets.
‘Ring me when you’ve spoken to Jess,’ I say and I’m baffled by my flat far-away voice.
The door slams and the brown beads on the kitchen curtain rustle. The trees outside lose their definition and as the taxi’s engine turns over, the surface of the lake becomes polished stone.

My post about a recent tour of Baltimore gardens omitted one because it was SO interesting, I wanted to go back and talk to the gardener another time, for another post. This one.
It’s the garden of Baltimore City Master Gardener Robert Cook. Retired from his law firm, now he spends more time than ever teaching people to garden, as he did with the hoards of visitors during the tour.
Simplified Rain Garden that WORKS
First, Robert’s rain garden doesn’t just successfully manage stormwater; it also looks great and, most interesting to me, was easier to design and install than most. Those rules about deep excavation and amendment? He pretty much ignored ’em.
A rain-garden rule he did follow was to calculate the size garden needed to collect the rainwater coming off that side of the house, which he did with free help from Bluewater Baltimore.
After that, he just dug a basin, built a berm around it, mixed in a bit of Leafgro, and planted away.
A large elderberry shrub is the stand-out plant now but a willow oak will eventually dominate. The plants are almost exclusively natives with deep roots that soak up the water. The importance of those roots was obvious when the garden overflowed at first, before the plants were added.
For a pleasing aesthetic, plants were selected for blooms, attractive foliage, and other items of interest throughout the year.
As for maintenance, Robert trims back the elderberry, and he waits until spring to take down the perennial shoots because bees nest in the stems. (Speaking of wildlife, the garden attracts lots of birds, and foxes have been known to sleep there.)
And like any mixed garden, some rearranging is required as plants mature. The smaller shrubs in the center (like beautyberry) and some of the perennials (like turtlehead) are being overpowered, so he’s adjusting the design a bit but largely letting them duke it out among themselves. To reduce maintenance, he recommends planting heavily.
Vegetable Production and Critter-Proofing
Now for the food production part of the garden. The 18 raised beds and other growing space totaling about 550 square feet now produce over 1,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables each year.
What’s most noticeable is the walk-in tomato cage Robert built out of 2x2s, which has proven to successfully thwart squirrels and other wildlife threats. He also installed drip irrigation.
Visitors to the Maryland State Fair going on this week are also learning about Robert’s tomato cage, thanks to the Master Gardener demonstration garden he built there.
Groundcover that COVERS
In the front garden I noticed a large border covered with Liriope, which Robert tells me had been designed by a professional landscaper before he became an avid fan of native plants. So would he choose a different groundcover today? No, he says, because that Liriope does the job better than any plant he knows of. That’s pretty much what I’ve learned in my search for plants to replace lawn. Ground’s gotta be covered, and Liriope and plants like it (some Carexes) do the job better than any, at least here in Maryland.
Speaking of native plants, Robert recommends Herring Run Nursery in Baltimore. It’s a natives-only nursery with very knowledgeable staff. Good to know! | <urn:uuid:e0d1a295-2c41-4c8f-8eb6-4445fe920c29> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.gardenrant.com/2019/08/easy-rain-gardens-walk-in-tomato-cages-and-more-from-a-baltimore-master-gardener.html | 2020-09-27T08:00:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961079 | 720 |
Richard J. Sommers

If you look around the Civil War world of study, you will always find people asking questions on the abilities of leadership, the possibilities of other generals in the position of those who failed, and the overall demeanor of them. These are questions which often time fuel the overall study of the war itself and force critical thinking when it comes to overall strategy, tactics, and generalship. Challenges of Command in the Civil War is a book that takes some of those thoughts into question by evaluating generals, mainly Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, and analyzes their performances, and the ways in which they gained their reputation. And while this book might not deal with the “what ifs” of other commanders in the position, it does point out some of the criticism which these commanders faced at the time of their leadership.
Dr. Richard J. Sommers has written a number of Civil War works throughout his illustrious career. He has authored more than one hundred books, articles, etc. on the subject, one of his most famous works being Richmond Redeemed: The Siege of Petersburg. He has garnered the Harrisburg Civil War Round Table General John F. Hartranft Award “for meritorious service,” and the Army War College has recognized him as a “Distinguished Fellow.” He served as the Senior Historian of the Army Heritage and Education Center until 2014. He teaches at the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and he gained his Bachelors at Carleton College and his Ph.D. at Rice University.
As someone who reads a decent amount of Civil War books, there was one thing that stuck out to me in Sommers’ book, Richmond Redeemed. For one, he seemed to understand the nature of command and leadership unlike others who have tackled the Petersburg Campaign. But more than that. He took some of those commanders who have been deified in our culture and made them human. He continues that tradition in this first volume of Challenges of Command in the Civil War. The first portion of the book handles the careers of both Grant and Lee throughout the war, and their rise to that power. In his chapter on Robert E. Lee and the war in the east, Sommers makes a point that Lee overall failed not because of the fighting force which he had, but because of the foe in Grant, the man who would push him to the brink. He also credits the fact that the country could not handle the other failures around him as a reason for the inevitable end of the war. Grant is also analyzed in ways that were different than usual. Most usually handle Grant as the man who grew to great prosperity in the west and came to the east as a savior, but that was not wholly the case. Sommers mentions that Grant had his critics both before and after his relocation to the east. Of course, this first section of the book shines when Sommers begins his study on the Petersburg campaign and the generalship of the two there. I appreciate the detail he always places in that campaign; he even mentions that there was a great deal of importance there as the zenith of the Virginia campaign.
Now I don’t want to give the wrong impression here. This book is not just about Grant and Lee. The second section of the book handles the other generals in this American drama. Sommers takes a look at the rise, and sometimes fall, of some of these generals both in blue and gray, but more so focused on the blue since there was more fluctuation within the ranks. Portions focus themselves not only on the generals overall, but their roles in Antietam and Gettysburg. I find that his chapter on Gettysburg commanders within the Army of the Potomac pinpoints some of their finer nuances of structure, along with the controversial as well. I enjoyed the portion of the chapter that handles characters such as Sickles, Howard, and Doubleday as having difficulties while praising the leadership of Hancock. There is even a chapter chronicling the generals at Petersburg under Grant. By the time I reached the end of this book, I thought I had gained enough knowledge about these Generals and how they handled their command, but there was one last bit left in store for me. I found his chapter on Revolutionary War Relatives of Civil War soldiers to be fascinating. This is a constant study which I find all over the Civil War realm and to have a detailed section on this analysis just added a little bit more to the fine points of this book.
In the end, there is little more that I can say about this book that I already mentioned. There are some books out there that handle the subject of generalship but this one, overall, is a fascinating study. I find it to be highly accessible and a great read, especially for those who are starting serious Civil War study, and Sommers writes with such narrative that you often feel you are there on those battlefield with him as your guide. I highly recommend this book to any interested in the Civil War. | <urn:uuid:431e29bd-58e1-4d56-a8ca-0e8bf23f276e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.gettysburgchronicle.com/book-reviews/challenges-of-command | 2020-09-27T07:57:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.979747 | 1,063 |

Persistence Market Research
Fluid Milk Market Introduction
Fluid Milk is the industry term used for any milk or milk products, which are made by addition of a substance to milk or any liquid milk product while production and processing, and exposed in the market for human consumption. It is simply the milk products which are consumed in liquid form as beverages. Fluid milk is often fortified with vitamin A and vitamin D. Fortification of the fluid milk with vitamin D is done in order to reduce the incidence of rickets in children. It also helps in calcium absorption, has an important role in bone health, and has a protective effect in cancer, while vitamin A is frequently added in order to reduce fat and can be obtained as low fat and fat-free milk. According to USDA, due to the high demand, around 3.8 billion pounds of packaged fluid milk products were shipped in North America by milk handlers in April 2017. The per person fluid milk consumption gradually declined due to the increased competition from other beverages and because of a smaller percentage of children in the U.S. region. According to the Economic Research Service (ERS), per person consumption of fluid milk in 2016 was 154 pounds.
Fluid Milk Market Segmentation
The Fluid Milk Market can be segmented on the basis of application, packaging, distribution channel, and region.
By application, fluid milk market can be segmented into food and beverage. In the food segment, fluid milk can be used as skimmed milk in the production of yogurt, processed cheese, natural cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, and desserts, in which it can be used in the preparations of ice creams, custards, pie fillings, whipped toppings, and other uses. In the beverage segment, fluid milk can be used in the production of buttermilk, specialty milk in which flavoring syrups are added and can also be consumed as skimmed milk, and fat-free milk. Among both the segments, the beverage segment is experiencing a high growth than the food segment, and it is expected to grow further in the forecast period.
By packaging, the fluid milk market can be segmented into tetra packs, P.E.T bottles and jars, glass bottles and jars, carton pouches and others. Among these, the P.E.T bottles, jars and tetra packs are leading the market. Carton pouches are anticipated to grow on a higher scale in the forecast period.
By distribution channel, the fluid milk market can be segmented into the direct and indirect sales channel. The indirect sales channel can be further sub-segmented into modern trade formats, departmental stores, specialty stores, convenience stores, online retail and other retail formats.
By region, the Fluid Milk market can be segmented into five distinctive regions, which includes North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. From these segments, North America is leading the fluid milk market, being one of the largest producers of cow's milk in the world, followed by Asia Pacific. In 2016, U.S. supplied around 212 billion pounds of fluid milk domestically as well as internationally.
Fluid Milk Market Drivers, Trends, and Drivers
Due to increase in growth of populations, growing health consciousness, and increasing disposable incomes, the demand for fluid milk is gradually increasing in the market. Fluid milk is considered as an integral part of the staple diet in many developing regions like India and China. There are various milk beverages which are made from fluid milk with added plant sterols, aimed to help improve cholesterol levels in the body. Products made from fluid milk are generally carbohydrate reduced, fortified with protein and calcium, specifically designed for adults. Owing to all the benefits, fluid milk market is expected to penetrate the beverage market on a higher scale in the forecast period.
Apart from all the benefits, the presence of substitutes in the market is inhibiting the fluid milk market to grow. The vegan consumers and the one with lactose intolerance also prefer avoiding dairy-based products, due to which the fluid milk market is in a steady state.
Fluid Milk Market Key Players
The rising demand for Fluid Milk in the market is attracting the manufacturers to produce and distribute the products in the market. Some of the key manufacturers in the Fluid Milk market are Nestle S.A., The Dannon Company, Inc., Saputo Inc., Land O'Lakes, Inc., Dean Foods Co., Dairy Farmers of America Inc., Schrieber Foods, and others.
