'Together Under the Big Top' the theme of first Naper Pride Fest
"Coming Together Under the Big Top" is the theme organizers have chosen for the first Naper Pride Fest set for this summer to celebrate the city's LGBTQ community.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 22, with a vintage circus motif and a goal of bringing visibility to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, or have nonbinary gender identities or sexual orientations.
"We are proud of who we are and proud as the LGBTQ+ community," said Tommy Varela, director of strategic planning for Naper Pride, a nonprofit organization now in its second year. "And in a larger sense, we're proud to be in Naperville and proud to be in this flourishing, really great suburban city."
Organizers plan a full day of circus performances (by people only, no animals) and concerts from noon to 10 p.m. and are in negotiations about hosting the event on Naper Settlement grounds.
Naper Pride members originally wanted to have a picnic but were told they would need city permits to host the crowd of roughly 500 they expect to attract.
"We decided if we have to get all these permits, we might as well throw a festival that Naperville deserves and that we dream of," Varela said.
The event will include local food vendors and businesses, as well as wandering jugglers and acrobats. The day will begin with sensory-sensitive hours from noon to 2 p.m. in partnership with the Turning Pointe Autism Foundation and Little Friends for people who want to experience a "smaller, quieter" version of the full fest, Varela said.
Through the city's Special Events and Cultural Amenities Fund, supported by a citywide food and beverage tax, Naper Pride is receiving $83,536 to offset festival costs.
Eva-Genevieve Scarborough thanked city council members for their support during a meeting last week, saying now is the time for the city's LGBTQ residents to become more outspoken.
"For a long time, we have, of necessity, kept a low profile because who we are by nature was considered too controversial," Scarborough said.
But that's beginning to change for people of many identities.
"We commit to being a visible and ongoing part of the process of making Naperville better," Scarborough said.
The Naper Pride group has been increasing visibility since last year with events such as a health and wellness fair, a movie night and a game night. Varela said the gatherings have started "to build community and give people a place to meet others who understand what they're going through and who they are."
These people are often called "chosen family" within the LGBTQ community.
"I've been surprised how many people don't have that yet in Naperville," Varela said. "It's because a group like this hasn't existed."
In its first year, Naper Pride did not host a large-scale pride fest, such as the long-standing Gay Pride Parade in Chicago, or the new Aurora Pride Parade that started in 2018. Scarborough said Naperville's event will enforce "modest dress codes" in a family-friendly atmosphere.
"This pride fest is for all of Naperville to come together and celebrate," Scarborough said. | <urn:uuid:50c56682-57b6-4f72-adc3-615efe7005df> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200210/together-under-the-big-top-the-theme-of-first-naper-pride-fest-- | 2020-09-25T01:09:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221382.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924230319-20200925020319-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971743 | 686 |

I expected to be charmed by Havana, and I was. The minute I saw the old American cars--beautifully restored--whizzing past slightly dilapidated, pastel colored buildings I was happy. This is what I’ve seen time and time again in YouTube videos, AAA brochures and even in Anthony Bourdain’s television show, Parts Unknown.
What I hadn’t expected however were the poor road conditions, endlessly cracked sidewalks and crumbling buildings reminiscent of a urban war scene. Havana is a study in contrasts. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Havana is beautifully restored, while just a few blocks away rebar can be seen sticking out of walls that will soon collapse. Restaurants geared to tourists are well-stocked with food and liquor, while locals shop in bodegas with half empty shelves.
I don’t share all of this to scare anyone away from visiting Havana. Instead, I want to encourage visitors, because I hope that over time dollars from tourism may contribute to better living conditions. I simply want visitors to be prepared. I firmly believe that clear expectations will help everyone have a better experience in Havana.
I also want to help visitors understand that in Havana there are frequently “hidden gems.” This isn’t Disneyland with perfectly manicured gardens and well-curated experiences. You may be directed to a site that outside looks questionable and uninviting, but walk inside to discover great art, music, or history. Havana is a city that rewards the curious.
Be prepared for your trip to Havana with the Lonely Planet guidebook.
Escorted Tour to Cuba
Typically I plan my own travel since I love to do all the research and planning. But for Cuba I was happy to turn over the planning to an experienced tour company. I purchased a fully escorted tour through Quantum Travel Services. I paid for my own trip, so I’m not being compensated for this piece. But if you’d like to see Cuba with a well-organized company, then I definitely recommend Quantum.

When most Americans think of Cuba they think Bay of Pigs, Fidel Castro and embargoes. In fact, the city of Havana was founded by the Spanish in 1519, so its history is much greater than just the last sixty years.
Old Havana is deservedly an UNESCO World Heritage Site which includes five, charming plazas, 900 historic buildings, as well as the fortifications surrounding the old city. In fact, in response to losing control of Havana in the late 1700’s, Spain responded by making Havana the most fortified city in the hemisphere. You can’t spend time in the old city and escape some part of the fortified walls or structures.
A walking tour here is highly recommended since there is so much history packed into this one part of the city. We began our tour in the Plaza de la Catedral, named for the Catedral de San Cristobal. Look closely at the church and you’ll notice that the alcoves designed to hold statues of saints are now empty. Many such statues were removed during the early years of the revolution.

We broke up our exploration of Old Havana with lunch and a visit to the nearby Havana Club Rum Museum, and then continued our walking tour. Eventually we found our way to Plaza de San Francisco de Assisi, notable for its Franciscan church and monastery. We ended at Plaza Viejas where we enjoyed live music for a while. Between each of the plazas are dozens of small charming, cobblestone streets lined with trees and more restored buildings.
Unlike many other parts of Havana, and even Cuba, the old city is clearly attracting the money--frequently from other countries--for high-quality restoration and subsequently lovely shops, cafes, bars, and hotels.
Taller Experiemental de Grafica
Located in Old Havana, just off Plaza de la Catedral, Taller Experiemental de Grafica is the oldest printmaking studio in Cuba. It has all the original equipment which was intended to print cigar decorations. After years of decay, this studio faced demolition until two artists, Cuban Orlando Suarez and Chilean Jose Venturelli appealed to the new revolutionary government in 1962 and made the case for a revival of this traditional art genre. It was in fact the famous Che Guevara who approved the project.
This is a serious studio where the artists are carefully selected and many have won prestigious national or international awards. In addition to the opportunity to buy high-quality prints, it’s also possible to take classes in printmaking. Be sure to visit this studio during your time in Old Havana. I was able to purchase a small print of Havana Harbor and can’t wait to frame it and hang it in my home.
Here are Eight Cities in Cuba You Need To Visit!
Hotel Nacional de Cuba
Built in 1930, the Hotel Nacional de Cuba was an integral part of this country’s pre-revolution history. It was home to famous gangsters that based their operations out of Havana during the American period of prohibition. This hotel saw many parties, summits and concerts for the mafia, wealthy Americans and celebrities.
Adjacent to the hotel’s bar is the Cuban Hall of Fame, where photos of celebrities and politicians that visited this iconic building are displayed. It’s a lovely spot to grab a mojito and enjoy the ocean view.
Havana Club Rum Museum
Rum--made from sugar cane--is an essential part of any trip to Cuba. Whether it’s a mojito, daiquiri or pina colada, rum will be a part of most of your meals. The Havana Club Rum Museum, located in Old Havana is a ideal place to learn about this spirit and its long history in Cuba.
I was reminded of our tour of Jose Cuervo Distillery in the Mexican town of Tequila last year. As Americans, we don’t think of rum or tequila as high-end liquors that can be enjoyed solo, but instead assume they exist only to be added to cocktails. And while rum cocktails are certainly popular everywhere in Cuba, rum can be aged for many years in wood barrels and sipped like a bourbon or whiskey.
Havana Club is the most common brand of rum in the country. And after the museum tour it’s only natural to visit the bar to learn how to make a mojito while enjoying live music. If dancing breaks out--as it usually does in Cuba--that’s even better!
If you’ve ever been to Parc Guell in Barcelona, then you’ll have some idea of what to expect at Fusterlandia. In fact, the artist, Jose Fuster, was inspired by Gaudi, but unlike the Spanish architect, Fuster used his own home for the project.
This multi-level art installation is a connected series of colorful, mosaic sculptures. By walking up a level, or turning a different direction, something new can be seen. Fusterlandia began in 1975 and has been evolving ever since then and over time has helped this once impoverished fishing community of Jaimanitas thrive.
The footprint of Fusterlandia is relatively small, in fact much smaller than I had anticipated. So Fuster resolved the issue of limited space by going up. It’s now taken over a whole street as neighbors have joined in and decorated their own homes with mosaics or other types of art. Add in a few vendors selling drinks and souvenirs, and this lively area should be high everyone’s list of things to do in Havana.
Allow plenty of time to explore Fusterlandia and the surrounding homes and galleries. I’d recommend at least an hour to enjoy every nook and cranny here.
Callejon de Hamel
I knew there would be music and dancing in Callejon de Hamel, but there is so much more. Started in 1990 by the artist Salvador Gonzalez, this Havana alleyway is full of mosaics, painting and sculpture. The artist has a gallery and home here and he is joined by a dozen or so boutique shops, bars, and galleries.
We had the opportunity for a brief tour of Gonzalez’ studio and home. Inside his home are two shrines to Santeria, an Afro-Cuban religion that developed in Cuba amongst West African slaves. We were told during the tour that about half of Cubans practice Santeria, often in conjunction with other faith practices like Catholicism.
Every Sunday, there’s a live performance of rumba music and dancing. While rumba is now a commonly used term for a certain type of music, it was actually created in Cuba by African slaves. Rumba is loud, colorful and energetic, and everyone watching the show was captivated. A visit to Havana would not be complete without a stop at Callejon de Hamel on a Sunday afternoon.
Buena Vista Social Club (Legendarios Del Guajarito)
Tell me there is a dance and music show and I’m there. If it includes a conga line at the end, I’m a happy person. You aren’t coming to the Buena Vista Social Club in Havana for the food, so if Cuban music doesn’t excite you, then maybe take a pass on this attraction. But if you think music and dance shows are the best, then this will be a fun evening.
Many people know the Buena Vista Social Club as an award-winning band formed in the late 1990’s. It was named for a famous social club in Havana popular in the 1940’s that made several Cuban styles of music popular. Today, visitors to Havana can purchase tickets to Legendarios del Guajirito, home of the Buena Vista Social Club, and enjoy a great live show that may include some appearances from the original musicians. Most of the musical and dance numbers will be by younger performers, but overall it’s a fun evening.
What’s not great is the food or service. Our entire group of 15 was disappointed by both. The dinner and show ticket is about $60. There is an option for a ticket to just the show for $30, but I understand seating priority is given to those that purchase dinner as well.
Classic Car Tour
No tourist should leave Havana without taking a classic car tour. And fortunately, this was as much fun as it looks and sounds. Riding through the streets of Havana in a restored Chevy convertible with music blaring from the radio was one of the highlights of the trip for me.
Our driver occasionally pointed out interesting sites like the National Theater of Cuba, but mostly we just sat in silence soaking up the experience. About halfway through our drive we stopped to stretch our legs in Parque Almendares, a spot popular with locals for wedding photos. I was disappointed when our time was up, and when I return to Cuba someday, I will definitely do this again!

Habana Compas Dance and Video
Our time at Habana Compas Dance was brief, but the highlight of the trip for me. This dance company was formed in 2004 by the dancer and choreographer, Liliet Rivera, and combines Spanish dances like flamenco with Afro-Cuban percussion. Sometimes the percussion comes from drums, but others times it comes from chairs. The result is an energetic and mesmerizing performance that I didn’t want to end.
Today Compas travels internationally, so even if you aren’t visiting Cuba soon, look for a performance near you. The chance to see a short performance by Compas must be arranged far in advance, and is usually done through a tour company.
This brief video (54 seconds) will give you a taste of the energy and enthusiasm of these dancers and musicians.
Cannon Ceremony at Fortress of San Carlos de la Cabana
Each night in the Fortress of San Carlos de la Cabana (also known as La Cabana) a canon ceremony is performed by soldiers dressed in 18th century Spanish uniforms. At 9:00 p.m. a cannonball is shot over the harbor, which traditionally was the way to inform citizens that the city gates were now closed.
The ceremony is a unique opportunity to get inside the fortress which was completed in 1774. It’s worth arriving early to get a good spot to view the ceremony. We were there on a rainy night, so our view was from a sheltered spot further away, but still an worthwhile event to attend.
Museo Hemingway Finca Vigia
I went to Cuba uninterested in Hemingway, but returned home fascinated. All I could remember of this famous author is being made to read Old Man And The Sea in high school and not liking it. But after visiting Hemingway’s home, Finca Vigia, a short distance outside of Havana, I realized there was much more to this man than a book that bored me.
Hemingway was no saint, but he was definitely larger than life. He began his career as a war correspondent, then began writing books about his experiences and eventually became a wildly popular author. Simultaneously he led a turbulent personal life with four marriages, three children, alcoholism, bouts of depression and eventually suicide.
Are you a big Heminway fan? Then take this full-day tour to learn about his time in Cuba.
The home of Hemingway has been beautifully restored and can be viewed from its open windows and doors--entry into the home is not permitted. It’s a peek into his life and the place where he wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls. Inside can be seen the furniture chosen by his fourth wife, Mary, hundreds of his books, hunting trophies, and even his typewriter.
After returning home I watched the 2015 movie Papa Hemingway in Cuba which was filmed in Finca Vigia. The movie wasn’t well reviewed, but I certainly enjoyed seeing the actual home during my time in Cuba and then watching actors portray the later years of his life.
Eat at Paladar San Cristobal (or the Obama Restaurant)
A paladar is a family run restaurant, usually run out of a home. These have become popular alternatives to the government run restaurants prevalent throughout Havana. San Cristobal has become a particularly famous paladar because it’s where former president, Barack Obama, his family, and the entire team traveling with him to Cuba ate dinner here one night in 2016. The whole restaurant was closed for the event.
There are several framed photos on the wall of President Obama greeting the chef and staff of the paladar. We had the opportunity to chat with the host after dinner about his experience serving the president and he was clearly proud to have had this opportunity.
Beyond the Obama memory, this paladar offered very tasty food and an eclectic decor that our group found endlessly entertaining. The walls are covered in a wide variety of memorabilia including animal skin pelts, vintage photos, statues of Christ and Crucifixes next to paintings of Stalin and Lenin (Their decorator has an interesting sense of humor).
A few cautions however. Despite having reservations--which are required--we waited almost an hour for our table. Then when we were seated the service was quite slow. I did a quick check on TripAdvisor, and it appears this experience is fairly common. So don’t arrive here starving. Also, this paladar is located in a poor, lesser known neighborhood, and our taxi driver had a hard time finding it. Come prepared with the address, and maybe some directions from hotel staff or AirBnB host.
Havana Is Worth The Trip!
What ultimately made this trip worthwhile for me was the music, dancing, art and history. Everyday we had the chance to hear live music, something which is rare in Southern California. And in Cuba getting up to dance is not only common, but expected.
I loved the colorful Cuban art! Despite the challenges Cubans face in their day to day lives, their art is lively and fun, much like their music.
Finally, I had the opportunity to hear the Cuban side of history. Sometimes, that clashed with what I learned in school. At other times I realized l didn’t actually know much about this island nation. But I travel for exactly this reason--to be challenged by other cultures and histories. For me, the trip to Cuba was a success. | <urn:uuid:bfc0efca-f8bd-45f2-add6-5cec55207af5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.emptynestershittheroad.com/things-to-do-in-havana-cuba/ | 2020-09-24T23:58:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221382.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924230319-20200925020319-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963837 | 3,671 |
What is your tradition for the 4th of July? Diaper bags in tow, we typically jet over to Oklahoma to enjoy humidity and patriotism with our extended family. We relish homemade ice cream sandwiches and overly-loud fireworks after decorating my grandfather’s golf cart with red, white, and blue.
Over the last few years, I’ve neglected to really communicate the beauty and blessing of freedom to my own children. I’ve been more concerned about sticking to our nap schedule on vacation.
I think my priorities have been in the wrong place.
So this year, we will be focusing on supporting the soldiers for our July service project. As a Family Service Club, we will be sending notes and gently-used books to American troops overseas as well as veterans and military families. I’m so thankful for the organization and heart behind Operation Paperback which makes it easy to send packages of books directly to those who can use and appreciate them.
As their website says, “Our service members and their families make sacrifices every day for our country. It takes so little to let them know that they are appreciated. When you donate to Operation Paperback, you will let America’s military community know that you appreciate their service and their sacrifices.”
If you want to support soldiers and their families this summer, take a look at the steps below.
WANT TO SERVE SOLDIERS IN YOUR AREA?
1. Visit a local base: If you have base close to you, contact the base and ask if you can visit the troops with your family. Ask about what you can bring that will be most encouraging to the soldiers (cards, cookies, etc.) Talk to your kids before visiting, and try to connect with and encourage as many people as possible while you are there. Building relationships is the most important part of service.
2. Send a Care Package: There are several organizations out there that enable civilians to send packages to soldiers overseas. If you can’t make it to a base, invite some friends over for a packing party, and send some goodies abroad. Check out Any Soldier or Operation Gratitude to get started. These awesome groups have sent countless packages, and their websites are super helpful.
3. Send a Shipment of Books: When soldiers have downtime, reading is a great way for them to pass the time. Operation Paperback shipped almost 2,400,000,000 to troops, veterans, and military families in 2015 alone. Visit their website and learn how to become a Volunteer Shipper. Your kids can write notes and slip them into the books that you send. You can also make this a community event and invite family and friends to join you in collecting.
4. Adopt a Soldier: If you get in touch with AdoptaPlatoon, you can adopt a soldier. What an awesome thing to do as a family! When you adopt a soldier, you are committing to encourage an individual service member by sending one card or letter each week as well as one care package each month.
It can be challenging to discuss fighting and war with our kids. As usual, I look to books to help me broach difficult topics. Here are a few informative kid-friendly books.
Hero Dad: In this book, a boy compares his Dad, a soldier, to a superhero. Reading this book would be a good way to start talking with younger kids about soldiers.
Veterans: Heroes in our Neighborhood: According to Amazon: this book “is an engaging rhyming picture book for readers of all ages that fosters mindfulness of and appreciation for the brave service men and women who are also our family, friends, and neighbors. These are the men and women who bravely served our great country and now humbly serve in our communities.” Sounds great!
US Troops Coming Home: This is an uplifting, poignant video that shows soldiers returning home to their families.
Although we will still enjoy our family fun this 4th of July, we will be more mindful that not all families have the privilege of being together. Some families are apart this summer because one member of the family is serving our country. Let’s make those soldiers and their families feel loved! If you have any thoughts on this post, or if you have other ideas about how we can show love, please let us know. Also, if you are interested, click here to start a club of your own. Thank you so much for reading, and let’s go love people on purpose. | <urn:uuid:abb787db-2e91-48b7-a026-dea881282cea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.familyserviceclub.org/supporting-military-families/ | 2020-09-24T23:22:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221382.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924230319-20200925020319-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962208 | 934 |

When Ms Streep took to the stage to collect the Cecil B DeMille award honouring her contribution to the world of entertainment, this multi-award winner rocked a frame that was a smart combination of a rectangle and a cat's-eye
, noticeable by the slight upsweep at the temples.
Based on the similarity of these complex micro-features to those described by Hanni and Weibel (1988) for heated cat's-eye
zircon, it seems probable that the star effect in this specimen is also the result of a heating process.
Because in those instances, the reflected cat's-eye

Self Defense is an Affirmative Defense in Jefferson County
In many cases, the accused can say yes, I committed the crime, but I had a legal justification for what I did. A good example to start with is the defense lawyer’s affirmative defense of Self Defense or Defense of Another Person, located at C.R.S. 18-1-704. This Jefferson County affirmative defense says that although you admit doing what you did, it was to protect you or another person from harm. If successful, this defense can completely defeat any criminal liability when a person is accused of a crime. Society has decided that we can defend ourselves and the welfare of others from what we reasonably believe to be the unlawful application of force by another. Read about the Affirmative Defense of Insanity.
Choice of Evils Affirmative Defense Denver Lawyer, C.R.S. 18-1-702
This mouthful of a definition for this Denver affirmative defense provides that “. . . conduct which would otherwise constitute an offense if justifiable and not criminal when it is necessary as an emergency measure to avoid an imminent public or private injury which is about to occur by reason of a situation occasioned or developed through no conduct of the actor, and which is of sufficient gravity that, according to ordinary standards of intelligence and morality, the desirability and urgency of avoiding the injury clearly outweigh the desirability of avoiding the injury sough to be prevented by the statue defining the offense is issue.” While your imagination could come up with many scenarios to apply this affirmative defense, consider a simple one. You and your friend are cutting wood and your friend’s chainsaw snaps up and cuts a major vein on his neck. He is seriously injured and requires immediate medical care. While he holds his neck you drive him to the hospital. Due to the emergency, you do not stop for six red lights, you speed 80 in a 40 mph zone, and even drive on a sidewalk to get past a traffic jam. Police catch up with you at the hospital emergency entrance as your friend is being loaded on a gurney and taken in for emergency surgery. You get a boatload of tickets. The Choice of Evils affirmative defense would likely lead to the dismissal or acquittal on all charges. How about you wrestling the keys from a drunk about to get in his car and drive? Is it Assault or just a poor charge which can be beat by the Choice of Evils affirmative defense in Denver?
Use of Physical Force – Special Relationships Affirmative Defense in Arapahoe County and Douglas County
An individual will be charged with the crime of false imprisonment in Arapahoe County if they keep someone in a room against their will, right? Mostly that is true. Here is the affirmative defense of Use of Physical Force – Special Relationships in Douglas County: “The use of physical force upon another person which would otherwise constitute an offense is justifiable and not criminal under any of the following circumstances: a) A parent, guardian, or other person entrusted with the care and supervision of a minor or an incompetent person, and a teacher or other person entrusted with the care and supervision of a minor, may use reasonable and appropriate physical force upon the minor or incompetent person when and to the extent it is reasonably necessary and appropriate to maintain discipline or promote the welfare of the minor or incompetent person.” Imagine an older man with Alzheimer’s, who tries to leave the house of his daughter, who watches him. The woman stops the man by pulling him away from the door, and she locks the deadbolt with a key from the inside. He picks up the phone and calls police. Officers ticket the woman for False Imprisonment in Arapahoe County. The Use of Physical Force – Special Relationships Affirmative Defense would be a slam dunk defense to the charge of False Imprisonment.
Affirmative Defenses in Adams County – A Defense Lawyer’s Perspective
Police are often poorly educated on affirmative defenses like Use of Physical Force – Special Relationships, Choice of Evils and Self Defense in Adams County. In many cases, officers are worried they’ll face criticism if they make a mistake, so they charge someone even when they are aware of an applicable affirmative defense. Only a criminal defense lawyer like those at the O’Malley Law Office can make the District Attorney see the light. If not them, we will tell your story to a judge or jury.

Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
If God asked you to do something important, would you obey Him and do it right away? Would you be more like the first son or the second son? Explain.
Questions by Saint Andrew School Students, Mr. Matteo's class 8C
What was the main theme of the homily shared at Mass this weekend?
The Parable of the Two Sons Matthew 21:28-32
Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people:
"What is your opinion?
A man had two sons.
He came to the first and said,
'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.'
He said in reply, 'I will not, '
but afterwards changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order.
He said in reply, 'Yes, sir, 'but did not go.
Which of the two did his father's will?"
They answered, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you,
tax collectors and prostitutes
are entering the kingdom of God before you.
When John came to you in the way of righteousness,
you did not believe him;
but tax collectors and prostitutes did.
Yet even when you saw that,
you did not later change your minds and believe him." | <urn:uuid:34f3a71f-4aa3-4884-8c46-84304a008a1f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.standrewcec.com/2017/09/25/bible-question-of-the-week-october-1-2017/ | 2020-09-25T01:25:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221382.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924230319-20200925020319-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969322 | 288 |

Testrol is a testosterone booster supplement by GAT Sports. It comes in 30 serving containers at $24.88.
Claimed to promote:
- Muscle growth
- Testosterone levels
It’s marketed as the “ultimate dual-purpose male performance product that contains some of the most advanced testosterone boosting ingredients” – so we’ve analyzed Testrol to see whether it lives up to GAT’s claims.
Take a look:
About the Company
GAT Sports are a supplements company that “develops quality products that assist athletes in training hard and competing harder”.
They market a range of products, from pre workouts to fat burners, and sponsor high-level bodybuilders.
The Ingredients and How They Work
The first thing you notice about Testrol is the amount of ingredients inside – there’s 12 overall. This is a large number of nutrients, but the maximum quantity for one is 500mg, which isn’t alot.
This makes us worried that GAT have chosen quantity over quality. But one thing we like is that no ingredients are hidden in any blends – so you know exactly what you’re getting.
See for yourself:
Tribulus Terrestris Extract
This is a plant from Ayurveda that’s traditionally used in Indian medicine to improve libido and sexual health. However, studies have shown that it has no effect on testosterone levels.
But that’s not all – there are concerns that Tribulus can increase prostate weight, which can lead to very serious conditions. For this reason, we recommend avoiding this ingredient.
This is a plant, which is also known as oat straw or oat extract. It’s believed to improve libido, but the only study that shows this is from 1980 – making it unreliable.
This is believed to deliver great muscle pumps as it plays an important role in nitric oxide production in your body. But here’s the bad news.
L-Arginine has a poor absorption rate when orally supplemented, meaning it’s ineffective in a supplement.
This is a very useful ingredient in a testosterone booster – it’s proven to raise Testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH) levels in numerous studies.
This is one of the best ingredients in Testrol. This herb’s been used to raise T-levels and libido for centuries, and for good reason – it works.
Numerous studies prove that it delivers, and it’s a key ingredient to have in any testosterone booster.
Believed to be a cognitive booster, it’s not been very reliable in studies. It’s more suited to a Nootropic supplement, as it’s only benefit is delivering increased mental function (memory, focus, alertness).
Also known as Tongkat Ali, this herb’s known to improve erections – but only in 200-300mg doses.
Testrol only contains 100mg, so it’s not likely to be effective. But that’s not all. Studies show that although it enhances erections, Eurycoma Longifolia has no effect on testosterone levels.
More commonly known as Horny Goat Weed, it’s been used traditionally to strengthen erections and as an aphrodisiac.
But here’s the bad news – studies have shown Epimedium Extract to be ineffective in raising T-levels.
Saw Palmetto Beans
This is a plant originally found in the West Indies and United States, and is believed to promote prostate health. But there’s a problem.
The FDA doesn’t consider Saw Palmetto Extract is safe to use: “Saw palmetto extract is not recognized as safe and effective by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is misbranded when labeled as an OTC drug for use as an orally administered menstrual drug product”.
For this reason, we strongly recommend that you avoid any products containing this ingredient.
Diamiana Leaf, Cnidium Monnieri, and Xanthoparmelia are believed to enhance erections. However, they haven’t been studied enough to prove they have any effect on testosterone.
Check out which ingredients work and which don’t in our
– Testosterone Booster ingredients guide –
Pro’s and Con’s
- Contains Fenugreek Seeds, which is a key testosterone boosting ingredient
- Mucuna Pruriens is effective in raising T-levels
- Most ingredients are ineffective, meaning this product isn’t likely to deliver any benefits
- FDA recommends that you avoid Saw Palmetto Beans
- Not great value for money
When looking at side effects, there are two ingredients that are worrying – Tribulus Terrestris and Saw Palmetto Beans.
Why? Because Tribulus can increase prostate weight, which can cause serious issues, and Saw Palmetto Beans has been listed as unsafe by the FDA.
Here’s the potential side effects from taking Testrol:
- Increased prostate weight (Tribulus Terrestris)
- Diarrhea (Saw Palmetto Beans)
- Dizziness (Saw Palmetto Beans)
- Headache (Saw Palmetto Beans)
- Nausea (Saw Palmetto Beans)
- Constipation (Saw Palmetto Beans)

Testrol Review Conclusion
Ultimately, there’s only two ingredients that are beneficial to your testosterone levels – Fenugreek Seeds and Macuna Pruriens.
Testrol’s other ingredients are either ineffective or can cause worrying side effects (especially Tribulus Terrestris and Saw Palmetto Beans).
It’s important to know exactly what you’re putting into your body, to stay safe.

Denny’s Daily Zinger: Your Career - Ordinary or Extraordinary?
Chances are you've never heard of Tom Durkin.
But if you have ever watched a Kentucky Derby, you would know the voice.
Durkin was the racetrack announcer who called horse races over the P.A. systems and for millions watching on TV.
Durkin's may be the ultimate niche profession, one that required unbelievable mental, visual and verbal wizardry.
Tom Durkin retired Aug. 31 after 43 years and calling more than 80,000 races.
Here is a sampling of his pre-race routine:
• Mark up his program with pastel colors, matching a kaleidoscope of jockey silks to the appropriate horses in each race.
• Start the day poring over the more than 2,000 words and phrases he has compiled in a notebook, embedding just the right image in his subconscious to describe the drama of a herd of thoroughbreds running at 35 miles per hour.
• Open the file in his computer, called "On Race Calling," that contains essays he has written to himself about his craft, helping him transform himself into an artist.
In short, Tom Durkin invented a highly individualized set of rules and routines that enabled him to create a USP (Unique Selling Proposition) that made him the greatest in the history of his profession.
Takeaways to Consider
- Everybody in business in in competition with others in the same profession doing the same thing.
- In your discipline, what breakthrough can you come up with that enables you to claim your own USP?
- Is your career going to be ordinary—or EXTRAORDINARY?

Jason told me the story of picking up this 1951 WL at a swap. It was converted into a motor to power a saw way back when and has been sitting around like this for 28 years or something before Jason grabbed it as is. It's on a mower so he can move it around for now. After spending a lot of time just staring at it, and it was cold out, I had to have a 45, that's how it started for me. Here's a video that Jason took quite some time ago. Hand starting the motor.

Cleaning university buildings
Many such universities, in which people from different parts of the country and the world learn, have even a dozen or so buildings. All these buildings must be cleaned up well, and the equipment used in them must be arranged in such a way that they do not endanger the safety of people staying in a university building. Therefore, from time to time, university buildings include cleaning crews that clean up lecture rooms and sanitary and sports facilities. Their tasks include grinding the dust, washing floors, removing spider webs that are being created, and disinfecting sanitary facilities. For this purpose, specialized equipment and strong cleaning agents are used. On the other hand, performing small cleaning works deal with the so-called conservators.
Cleaning streets after car accidents
Street cleaning is an occupation performed by special teams of employees who can be employed by the city or by independent cleaning companies. Thanks to such people, it is possible to bring the streets to the correct look both after car accidents and after lightning discharges. It happens very often that as a result of heavy rainfall and storm, a large number of branches and leaves fall on the streets and advertisements that have been cut off from the trees, and then they have to be removed before traffic can be restored. A similar situation occurs after road accidents. Although road builders appear as the first places on the scene, the cleaning crews can take care of even more thorough cleaning of the street.
Laying shoes in the hallway
A hallway is a home room through which all people enter the house, therefore every now and then it requires more thorough cleaning. During such cleaning, the hens are dusted using various rags and vacuum cleaner. After removing the mud and dust from the floor, it is thoroughly washed out using not only strong but also well-smelling agents. Depending on the type of floor, it will be the means for washing the tiles or means for cleaning the panels. Even more often in the hall exactly the shoes of all household members are ordered and arranged. Those of them that are not needed during one of the seasons are elevated to another room. | <urn:uuid:45ef13cf-cdbe-421b-a40c-2087a9cb8f61> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://hotelewhiszpanii.com.pl/how-about-cleaning-services-for-you-home/ | 2020-09-26T07:43:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.972204 | 427 |
Joan Fortin’s journey from her childhood on a Maine farm to her new role as a family-friendly CEO of one of the state’s top law firms.
On New Year’s Day, Joan Fortin will become the first woman CEO of Bernstein Shur, one of Maine’s largest law firms. She’s already created a legacy at the longtime Portland-based firm as the director of attorney recruiting, having hired nearly half of the firm’s 120 attorneys. But now she has plans for another legacy as well, one of improving performance in Maine’s legal profession through empathy and supporting work-life balance. “We need a more holistic approach to how we do business,” Fortin says.
Fortin, 53, first worked at Bernstein Shur in the 1990s as a summer associate when she was at Northeastern University School of Law. After a clerkship at the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and receiving her degree in 1996, she joined Bernstein Shur and—absent a stint practicing law in Alaska—has been with the firm since. She’s “the most prepared person we’ve ever had” step into the CEO role, says Patricia Peard, who was Fortin’s longtime mentor at the firm before retiring in 2018.
From the time she was a summer associate, Fortin’s “agile intelligence” was clear, Peard says. “The law is like a puzzle. You must fit the pieces together for each client, and Joan could do that right from the start.” Fortin took constructive criticism well, never made the same mistake twice, was a good listener and always had a great sense of humor, Peard says, and “the combination of all that is pretty outstanding.”
Another word Peard uses to describe Fortin is “empathetic,” which fits with the culture Fortin has long been trying to build at Bernstein Shur. Maine has nearly 4,000 active attorneys and when hiring, Fortin says she looks for candidates with empathy. Citing Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers: The Story of Success, specifically two chapters called “The Trouble with Geniuses,” Fortin notes that the biggest success is not always the person who is first in his or her class. “Emotional intelligence is a critical business skill, not a soft skill,” says Fortin.
Determination also is a key business skill, and Fortin has plenty of it. When she learned that the top job at Bernstein Shur was opening up she added training sessions at the Lex Mundi Institute in Monterey, California to her busy roster. She’d traveled there to take classes in the professional development program for legal professionals before, when former Bernstein Shur CEO Charlie Miller first identified her as a future leader. At that point, she hadn’t envisioned it for herself, but now she was ready to pursue the role. “I went after it with everything I had,” she says, including training, grit and a built-in sense of justice.
“Emotional intelligence is a critical business skill, not a soft skill.”
Fortin grew up in a farming family, the second oldest of five siblings. Her mother Rita and her father Jerry had moved their small farming operation to Benton in 1972 and all five kids pitched in. “We had chores every day,” Fortin says. That might include haying or milking the cows. She and her brothers and sisters swept the barn. They fed the horses and they took care of the chickens. “I hate chickens,” Fortin says, laughing. Cleaning the gutter in the barn? Not a pretty job but someone had to do it. “I didn’t mind shoveling,” Fortin says, still laughing. “I loved how I grew up.”
A high school teacher pushed her to apply to Colby College, an early instance, she says, in which she felt propelled forward by “people believing in me.” Although Colby was nearby geographically, it was, she says, a very different world. Neither of Fortin’s parents had gone to college. But they’d taught her something powerful, something that helped her in the new environment of Colby and the many others she’d go on to encounter in her career. “Farm life is very egalitarian,” she says. That ingrained sense of equality resonates, whether she’s talking to a blueberry farmer or a Supreme Court justice. “We’re all human beings equally worthy of respect as people,” she says. That belief shows in her easy, sincere style of communicating.
It took her a few years after Colby to find her way to the law. She went on to the University of Maine for a master’s degree in educational administration and worked at Bowdoin College for two years in student services. Then she enrolled at Northeastern, where she met her future husband, Chet Randall. After finishing law school in 1996, she was hired as an associate at Bernstein Shur. But she felt tugged; Randall was living in Alaska, where he was working as a public defender. She had done an internship there in during law school and relished the beauty of the place and its outdoors experiences. She joined him there for a brief stint.
Family was the driving force behind Fortin’s decision to return to Maine in 1999. She and Randall knew they wanted their own family. It was particularly important to her that her children knew their grandparents. She and her whole family had had a wakeup call in 1994 when her father had a heart attack at the age of 54.
In 1994, Fortin had gone back to Benton to help her mother and father as he recovered. She helped with the milking at 4:30 a.m. then grained the cows, showered and drove to Bangor for an 8 a.m. start at her summer internship as a law clerk for the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. “It was a blessing to have that time with him,” said Fortin.
Her parents and life on the farm had a major influence on how Fortin approaches not just her own career but those of her co-workers. “I had access to my parents, and that had a huge impact on who I am today. Family was everything,” she says. It’s made her a fierce advocate for family-leave policies “that work.” Fortin encourages all employees to take advantage of Bernstein Shur’s 16-week parental leave policy, which in 2018 eliminated the distinction between primary and secondary caregivers. She’s seen attorneys of both sexes leave the firm after having children because they’re struggling to do both jobs.
But for women, who in 2019 represent 36% of the active attorneys nationally according to the American Bar Association, she acknowledges, the balance issue is often harder. She felt it herself as a young mother in a family with two working parents. (Randall is the deputy director of Pine Tree Legal Assistance, an entity which provides free civil legal aid; “Our family hero,” she says.) Fortin was on a path to partnership at Bernstein Shur. But her image of what a mother should be was her own; Rita Fortin cooked all the meals, made all the costumes, living a very traditional, old-fashioned motherhood. “It just about ripped my heart out to drop my child off at daycare,” Fortin says. “I really struggled.”
Because she felt so reluctant to be away from her children when they were small, she stopped engaging in the activities she had enjoyed before she had kids, such as running, backpacking and kayaking. She’s fixing that now, but says, “If I could go back in time I would find a way not to stop exercising.” Her children are nearly grown now—Michael Randall is 18 and her daughter Lainey Randall is 16—but she remains highly attuned to how her co-workers might be struggling with such issues now. Fortin often reminds her younger colleagues that they don’t need to put the rest of their lives on hold, and her success—including making partner at Bernstein Shur while working part-time—stands as an example of that.
Nationally, that would make her an anomaly; the American Bar Association’s recent data on the status of women in the profession indicate that even with more firms allowing part-time schedules, women reported that choosing that option “posed professional risks,” including jeopardizing their prospects for promotion and falling into the trap of being paid for working part-time but working much more than that to keep up. And while women have made progress in gaining partnerships at major law firms, with an increase from 12.9% to 16.3% between 1994 and 2002, according to the association’s data, that’s still far from parity. “My generation’s job,” says Fortin, “is to continue the forward progress so that people can stay in the profession. Women tend not to stay. That’s the nut I’ve been trying to crack.”
So is the potential for burnout across gender lines throughout the legal profession. Clients often expect attorneys to be available 24/7, says Fortin, so the firm needs to push back by employing more of a “team-based approach and stop being lone wolves.” To that end, she emphasizes the need for employees to take vacation time, preferably two weeks at once. “If we don’t take care of the whole person, they won’t be here for the long haul,” she says. “A healthy person is going to perform better.” So will a person who stays connected to the people that matter to them. Fortin describes the legal career as “a marathon—not a sprint.” It’s in a firm’s best interest to retain their talent. “We have no desire to see a talented new attorney join our firm and then work so extremely hard that bad things happen (burn out, depression, illness, divorce, substance abuse, etc.). That doesn’t help us or our clients, and more important, no one wants to see that happen to a trusted colleague.”
What she wants is to foster an atmosphere that allows employees to “be their best selves.” To take care of themselves and their families and to participate in community. There, too, she leads by example, taking time to volunteer with the Olympia Snowe Women’s Leadership Institute. Her message to the high school students she encounters, many of them economically disadvantaged? “Believe you can and go forward.” And this year she chaired the American Heart Association in Maine’s Go Red for Women luncheon, a primary fundraiser for the group. Her speech there drew tears from many attendees. She focused on family, as she so often does, recounting how her father had bounced back from that heart attack in 1994. It was a bittersweet story though; her father had died just a few months before, at 79. Her message was about education and preventive self-care. “It was very important to me to share his story in a way that might help save someone else’s life and that would give someone else hope that they could recover from an early heart attack and go on to lead an active life.”
The luncheon raised a record-breaking amount of funds, $407,000, an 8.4% increase from the previous year. “The AHA could not have asked for a better chair,” says Maine’s Go Red Director Katie Rooks. “I’m part of the Joan Fortin fan club.” So is her daughter Lainey Randall, who was 12 when she accompanied her mother to the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. and credits her with instilling in her a passion for issues like the environment. “She pushes me to go farther,” Randall says. “Seeing what she’s accomplished makes me feel like I can do anything.”
Angie Bryan moved to Portland in 2018 when she retired from the diplomatic service. Her writing has also appeared in The Foreign Service Journal and Maine Today. Full disclosure; she was one of 2019 spokeswomen for the American Heart Association in Maine’s Go Red for Women Campaign. | <urn:uuid:e586a9ee-bdf8-4506-995a-6be4b45ddc46> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://mainewomenmagazine.com/the-good-fight/ | 2020-09-26T09:22:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.981863 | 2,648 |

Abou’s name topped that list! So, above is the list of top 13 Hindi comedy movies that I find very amusing and hilarious. Mp4videosongs makes your search trouble-free by providing a list of hyperlinked indexed list. As with My Name is Khan, actual footage of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre is utilised in the film. In this way the terrorist genre is not an entirely new genre in Bollywood, nor is terrorism an unfamiliar phenomenon in the day to day activities of the Indian subcontinent (the most recent and brutal terrorist attack was the Mumbai massacre in 2008). What makes the recent spate of terrorist films interesting is that they have entered the global sphere and have become part and parcel of a transnational dialogue between East and West and Islam and the other. The song and dance sequences were also very elaborately staged and combined a balance of the traditional Indian music and dance forms (Hindustani music and traditional folk dances) as well as modern Western forms. In an increasingly global world, where these icons and practises are continually crossing over and clashing with Western standards, this knowledge and awareness is not only relevant to us in the West, it is fundamental to our very existence.
Many of today's popular Indian musicians have their roots in western countries. For foreign nationals or NRI's (non-resident Indians), however, 9/11 radically changes this formula and shatters the American dream nurtured for decades by an Indian diaspora which has merged its Indian cultural roots with American ideals of individual freedom and consumer prosperity. This movie was made in the twenti-first century, but its music was composed by Madan Mohan many decades ago. Indian pop music originated in late 1990s with arrival of bands such as Usha Utthup, Sharon Prabhakar, Baba Sehgal and others. She was the first Indian to perform in Royal Albert Hall in 1974 in the category of Best Female Playback singer she holds the record for the oldest winner (age 61) of the National Film Award. Born to a noted classical singer and theatre actor Deenanath Mangeshkar, Lata Ji was introduced to music at an early age and recorded her first song at the age of 13. After her father's death due to heart-attack she was forced to become the family's bread earner. They have raised the bar by composing amazing songs and making the Hindi music industry well-known across the world.
Although there are songs with soulful lyrics, the focus is more on tracks with dynamic and lively beats. Music is by Pritam, Darshan Raval & Antara Mitra are the singers, and lyrics are by Irshad Kamil. And with its versatility, the Hindi music industry never fails to entertain its audience. Overflowing gushes of emotion and heart stirring romantic songs, such as the mixing of the 1960's counter culture anthem "We Shall Overcome" (sung in both Hindi and English), occur throughout the film to both lighten the tension and to exemplify the presence of light and hope in a world darkened by the bitter shadow of global terrorism. The book is a significant contribution to Literatures in Translation and Indian Writing in English. They are derived from the song and dance routine of the Indian Bollywood films. Brought up by chale aana cover that there are no fixed labels such as Hindu and Moslem, but only good and bad people, Rizvan Khan freely practises his religion with equal love and respect for all other races and creeds, only differentiating between what is in the hearts and minds of people, not to what religion they profess, or to what race, culture and nationality they belong.
Well, what the number makes your realise is that there is another, better way to do that, and that is music. The music of Ghajini(Hindi) was released recently, scored by none other than A.R.Rahman. Music lovers loathe watching and listening to music videos which has pitiable quality. Arko, Tony Kakkar, Shatak Sharma (STK), Tanishk Bagchi, Meet Bros., Sunanda Sharma, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Millind Gaba, MixSingh, are to name a few. Comment below your views on these movies and also comment and name other comedy movies that you find hilarious. It’s your one stop destination to find the latest weekly hit songs that are top of the popularity charts. Question 7. Find out adverb used in the sentence Boond-boond se saagar banataa hai (water drops make the the ocean). Sign in & Make Your Vote Count. She took up singing and acting to make their ends meet. Your sister is getting married and you have to make the ceremonies even more special by dancing on her pre wedding functions. The central protagonist Sam or Sameer functions as a prototype for these 1200 men. The song turned out to be such a craze that still today you will see people dancing to this tracks in functions and parties.
Why not let the world know by dancing on this wedding song. Unfortunately he is little known to most Indians who do not know Kannada. A comprehensive report is now available to help you learn how to speak the Hindi language using linguistics in just 12 days or even less! In this way, even if the film does not actively promote Jihad as a fundamental tenet of Islam, it does portray a sympathetic psychological profile of the terrorist mind-set. As has traditionally been the case in Indian cinema, the new Bollywood terrorist genre gives the Moslem minorities a voice, telling their story from the inside, making them subject and not object and narrating the plot from the perspective of their culture, religion and community base. The canvas of Slumdog Millionaire gives him the ultimate playground to tinker around and Rahman switches gears very smoothly. Rahman accompanied by M.I.A., the London-based rapper of Sri Lankan descent, croons to the beats of moving train. The cute messages can exist as small poem, welcoming the morning, love song, beautiful quote, good night message or birthday wishes. A perfect sangeet wedding song, dance on this bollywood song with all the thumkas. | <urn:uuid:8557d261-d7a5-43b0-a7b9-09b7013e0f22> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://raymondavphz.fireblogz.com/23769961/fruits-found-in-the-philippines | 2020-09-26T09:07:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961729 | 1,282 |

Restaurant.com partnered with New York Times best-selling author Keith Ferrazzi to conduct a research project on fostering relationships of all varieties through dining.
The result was five conversation guides for various dining occasions, including family, friends, significant others, colleagues, and clients. Each week, we will be sharing one of those dining guides on The Dish, along with a real-world example of what the guides can do to improve relationships.
This week’s guide is for significant others. If you try the guide with your own significant other, let us know how it went in the comments section below.
Rekindling a Once-Blazing Relationship
After nearly 25 years of marriage, Margaret and Fred were at a crossroads. With their youngest child just off to college, their lives were taking on a new rhythm. Fred thought they needed to figure out what it would mean for their relationship. He was a little worried. They needed to talk, really talk, which they didn’t do much anymore.
When Fred stumbled on a Facebook post about building stronger relationships with a spouse via conversation while dining out, it was quite by chance. He wouldn’t have been able to take Restaurant.com and Ferrazzi Greenlight up on the offer in his younger years, with jobs and kids filling every moment. But he and Margaret sure loved a good meal. Fred signed up and downloaded The Greenlight Guide for Dining with Significant Others, which suggested topics and questions for increasing intimacy through conversation. It was just the nudge Fred needed to act on his worries. So he announced to the pleasantly perplexed Margaret that they would be going out for their 24th–and-a-half anniversary.
Returning to what had been their favorite intimate little restaurant as a young couple helped Fred open up, and he let the Guide steer him through a conversation with his beloved. He asked Margaret to think of her favorite memory from their life together and she recalled something that they hadn’t thought of in years—their honeymoon in Costa Rica. They had stayed in a secluded cabin and Fred had serenaded his young bride every night with some of her favorite songs.
He then moved into more vulnerable territory and asked: What is your biggest unrealized dream? Margaret answered at length and then returned the question. It wasn’t long before they realized that they were ready to take the time to rediscover each other, maybe even ready for a major change. By the end of the meal, they had decided to retire at the end of next year and do some traveling overseas.
It was the first time in a while, Fred reported, that they had really focused on the us of their relationship—and they were surprised by how truly excited it made them.
Years can fly for busy people. Without actually making an effort to communicate and reflect, the chance may never come. The solution is simple: A quiet meal and the courage to ask a few well chosen questions are often enough to get even tense relationships back on track.
The Greenlight Dining Guides—which cover clients, colleagues, family, friends, and spouses—are a collaboration between Restaurant.com and Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone and chairman of myGreenlight Academy. To make the guides as useful as possible for Restaurant.com’s users, Ferrazzi’s expertise in relationship-building meal-time conversation is bolstered by other specialists in the field of psychology, relationships, and communication, including Veronica Berenstein, PhD; John Gottman, PhD; Mark Goulston, MD; Dave Joseph, LICSW; Ramdas Menon, CHt; and Ziggy Yoediano, MD, MBA.

It is likely to be a number of things as the ER engines have a few areas that are common for oil leaks. The main one that can create quite a mess is the oil return pipe running underneath the turbo & even the turbo oil feed line can harden & crack over time. As for the oil return pipe the gasket between the turbo & oil return pipe tends to leak over time. The second one is rocker cover seal which is very common & can leave the engine looking quite horrible but does not often leave much of a mess on the ground & the last thing could be worn crank & or cam seals which is another common issue for oil leaks. It could also be your head gasket but very unlikely, best of luck.

In chapter 10 of his gospel (or not far into the Jerusalem journey narrative as he would have seen it – he didn’t divide his gospel into ‘chapter and verse’), Luke presents an exchange between an expert in the Law (of Moses – i.e. Torah) and Jesus. The lawyer is first trying to ‘test’ Jesus, and uses a fairly standard question of the day to do so.
Both Matthew and Mark also record this question asked of Jesus: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
I don’t want to bother with the whole discussion of what this question means and what it doesn’t mean (suffice to say that it does not mean ‘how moral must I be to get into heaven after I die’). I’m more interested in how Jesus answers this “law expert”.
Jesus’ initial response is very rabbinic (or Socratic) in that he answers the question with a question. His responding question assumes that ‘eternal life’ (literally: “the life belonging to the age to come”) has to do with… well… doing life the way God wants; in other words, doing what the Law says. Luke doesn’t need to spell this out, even for his Greek audience (‘Theophilus’); everyone knew that Jews were people of Torah.
Anyway, Jesus’ responding question is also a demonstration of the non-shocking fact that first century Jews had differing understandings of their Scriptures in general and the Law (Torah) in particular. His response is this: “What does the Law say? How do you read it?”
Again, every Jew would have known the general assumed answer to the question. If you want to attain to the eternal kind of life, then (duh!) do what God says in the Torah. The real question-behind-the-question, however, is what does the Torah (and thus God) require of us? So Jesus’ initial response turns the question back onto this Law expert, essentially saying, “Well, what do you think? What do you think the Law says we must do? What is your interpretation?”
The man’s response is spot-on: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength; and Love your neighbour as yourself.”
Jesus responds approvingly: “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” He essentially says, “That’s it. That’s the correct summary of the whole thing. That is what the Law/Torah is all about.”
Now, the conversation could have been over with at that point. But then…
“And who is my neighbour?” This was a question which was perhaps common. Where is the line between ‘neighbour’ and ‘enemy’; just how far do we have to take this command!? But Luke specifically also tells us that the man’s respose was in attempt to justify himself. The tighter the boundary for ‘neighbour’ the better for this Law Expert.
In response to the ‘who is my neighbour’ question, Jesus then tells the story of what we know as the ‘Good Samaritan’, who has compassion on a man left ‘half dead’ by robbers, bandaging him, pouring oil/wine on the wounds, taking him to an inn, staying with him the rest of the day and that night, and giving the innkeeper enough money for weeks of care for the man, and a promise to return and pay any extra charges. Amazing. And of course, Jesus is being very provocative and offensive by casting a Samaritan as the hero and examplary character in the story (to say Jews disliked Samaritans puts it mildly); and casting the Priest and the Levite as the scumbags.
It’s a moving story. One of the most humane stories known to humanity. It contrasts utter selfishness with total selflessness.
But what I think is brilliant is the way Jesus uses this story.
He finishes it up by putting a question to the Law Expert, “Now, which one of the three was a neighbour to the man?”
The man (Jew thick and through) cannot even say the word ‘Samaritan’, so he simply says the obvious answer, “The one who had mercy on him.”
But wait. Jesus has also done something else…
The man’s question had been ‘who is my neighbour’. Jesus has just asked ‘which one was a neighbour to him’. Jesus refuses to give the ‘who is my neighbour’ question the dignity of a response.
The Law Expert’s summary of the Torah was brilliant – Love God, Love neighbour – but his ‘justifying’ question about who his neighbour was had essentially robbed his accurate summary of it’s relevance (what good is a command to Love Neighbour, if you’re confused about who your neighbour is?). Jesus has reframed the question; and has put the emphasis back on the imperative to Love. The implication is this: it doesn’t matter who the person is, love them as yourself. Don’t worry about who your neighbour is, just be a loving neighbour.
This, after all, is what the Law, the Torah, was all about. This is what the eternal kind of life is all about.
Love. This is Jesus’ answer to the ‘what must I do’ question. Which is why Jesus wraps up the conversation saying, “Go, and do likewise.” | <urn:uuid:321acbfa-113f-4caa-8d9b-6f6b336214e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.fruitfulfaith.net/2009/07/who-is-my-neighbour/ | 2020-09-26T09:04:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.977318 | 1,228 |
For the months of February & March we decided to help a family close to home. One day in January Ray was casually talking with a lady that works in our office building. She started to tell him about a sweet co-worker of hers. She said she is a hard working, single mother of three and that she had come on some tough times and was currently struggling financially. At the end of the conversation Ray told her about our Hope & Help initiative for the year and she said, “If there is anyway you could help her out that would be wonderful because she could really use the help right now.” It was an easy decision! We spoke to the young lady about her situation and we decided to help her for two months. For February we got her a gift card to Target because she had many items she needed for the apartment they recently moved into and things she needed for her kids. For March we got her a gas card because she said most days her lunch break is taken when her kids get out of school so she can drive to get them, bring them home and then come back to work to finish her day. She said the gas was getting very costly and cutting into money she needed for other things. Presenting her with these gift cards was exactly what we wanted this campaign to be about – to help someone in need and to give them hope that people care about them!
If you would like to join our HOPE & HELP mission or know of someone in need, please contact Karen at 973-256-1000 ext 12 or [email protected]. Each month we will pick one person to help and give hope to. Check out our website at the end of each month to see our HOPE & HELP story.

I re-planted two new zucchini plants (Black Beauty) and some unspecified variety of pickling cucumbers a few weeks ago. I got the starts from the farmer's market.
The big beef and early girl tomatoes in the raised bed here have reached "maximum height". I transplanted another heirloom tomato in the middle a few weeks ago and it's almost to the point where I need to string it up. Aside from some cracking, the tomatoes have been great! Also in this picture, a couple of eggplants, a bell pepper, and two extremely vigorous Celebrity tomatoes.
I have been taking huge amounts of peppers off these plants lately! Sent a whole bunch to work with my wife yesterday (I took a bunch to work the week before).
This is what's left of my Asian Yardlong Beans, aka Asparagus Beans. I harvested most of them a few days ago and froze them. I was very impressed by this variety, it was extremely productive and did very well in this setup. That's a 2x2 with three pieces of 10' galvanized "mason ladder" wire. The beans went all the way to the top!
Two heirloom tomatoes that I don't have any place to plant. They're in little 4" round jiffy pots and I water them twice a day. They're doing surprisingly well considering how tiny their root system is. As long as I can keep them alive I guess I'll keep them going.
My container garden - the cherry tomatoes on the left have maxed out their height. The grape tomatoes on the right have another foot to go. The peppers are mostly doing well too except the bell peppers in the pot on the far right are suffering from dwarfism I think! And some of the bell peppers and anaheim chilis have gotten blossom end rot (but not all). The habaneros and jalapenos are doing great though, as is the eggplant (see next picture).
Compared to the three eggplants I have in the raised beds, this one is doing far better. It's taller, greener, sturdier, and has more fruits. It never suffered much damage from the flea beetles like the ones in the garden.
My habaneros are starting to ripen up!
I finally have a canteloupe, too. I only ended up with one last year too, this was a last minute addition and is not in a prime location.. the soil is poor, it's hard to water, and it doesn't get "full sun".
I must've tossed some rotten tomatoes over here last year because I have a "volunteer" growing. I wonder what kind it is! It's got some small tomatoes on it that just appeared so I'll find out soon enough! | <urn:uuid:abd8e5de-933e-4ca2-9d11-5fd27059b263> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.ricksroots.com/2011/07/ | 2020-09-26T08:55:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973956 | 579 |
Get Creative – Get Inspired – Get Together!
Visitors to Oxfam’s Get Together Showcase at Penylan Community Centre on Tuesday 5th February enjoyed free head massages, sampled cakes, and browsed stalls selling cards, holistic therapies, photography sessions and Welsh baby-gro’s.
Visiting the Showcase was the perfect opportunity for local people to find out how they could host their own Get Together on International Women’s Day (March 8th) to raise money for Oxfam projects helping women work their way out of poverty.
The Oxfam Get Together is one of the UK’s largest celebrations of International Women’s Day – which is a national holiday in a number of countries including Afghanistan, Russia and Zambia.
Lorraine Rees from Oxfam Cymru said, ‘A Get Together can be absolutely anything you enjoy doing with family or friends, from a simple meal at home, to a film night at work or a poetry reading in your community.’
The majority of people living in poverty worldwide are women. Get Together raises money for Oxfam’s work transforming the lives of women experiencing poverty, discrimination, domestic violence and lack of education. Oxfam helps women reclaim their rights and make their voices heard – from helping girls access schools in Burkina Faso to supporting women farmers in Ethiopia to become entrepreneurs and provide for their families.
Cardiff baker Rhiannon Parry, of Rhiannon’s Cake Kitchen in Whitchurch said, ‘I took part in the Showcase to encourage people to hold their own Oxfam Get Together.’ Rhiannon brought along delicious samples of her home-made goodies, which sold like hot cakes!
Natasha Jenkins, manager of Photography*Jnr is hosting a unique Get Together in Buffalo Bar, Windsor Place, Cardiff on Friday 8th March at 1.30pm. This will be a family-friendly event, an opportunity for parents to enjoy tea and cake whilst their children are photographed. Twenty per cent of the price of every photo sold will be donated to Oxfam.
Annie Hillman, independent Phoenix Cards trader in Roath told us, ‘I’m very excited to support the Oxfam Get Together. I’m very passionate about the cause and I believe it’s a great way to support women across the world. Today has inspired me to get involved by hosting my own event.’

Creation Station Blog Hop - Girl Power!
Hope you had a Happy Halloween everyone! We had a houseful for our annual Halloween party. Fun was had by all! This month's blog hop is one for the girls. I have a couple of friends who have highlighted and/or died their hair with purple so they were my inspiration for this month's project. *smiles*
I had some fun with the Over The Moon stamp set and created my own herd with a little bit of masking. To give these girls some color, I used Stampin' Blends in Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather. I used the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and drew the sunglasses on freehand. The words are also from this set along with the Free As A Bird set, and popped up on a cute layered tag. I am truly thankful for all the girlfriends in my life, purple hair or not! *wink wink* I hope you'll continue along to see what Mikaela's creativity brewed up this month.

Music Videos — Kickstarter
To enhance consumer awareness in regards to the content of certain music videos, and to improve child protection online, Vevo and YouTube, working in partnership with the BBFC, are making permanent a pilot scheme to age fee all music videos by artists signed to Sony Music UK, Universal Music UK and Warner Music UK which can be unsuitable for youthful children (below 12s). The music video hasn’t been this relevant in three a long time, despite how MTV’s motion away from the format, in favor of reality programming, was thought to mark its finish.
That all these approaches are arriving without delay suggests a new era of maturity for music video, one in which the biggest stars are additionally among the greatest innovators.

Oh, wow if you love Kamen Rider this may be a movie at the top of the heap. I would pay good money to see this in a theater near me. This movie takes place between the ending of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and the middle of Kamen Rider Build. It’s mostly their movie bringing both Riders together along with their respective crews. This happens because of a rouge scientist from Build’s world that builds a machine that can travel to parallel worlds or Earths. It also involves other past Heisei Riders in a great story and turn of events.
The movie came out in Japan to theaters in December of 2017. As usual it has been a while since it’s release. In other countries it’s typical to not see a film such as this for quite some time. The film is directed by Kazuya Kamihoriuchi, who was a newcomer to the world of Kamen Rider in 2017. After directing a Kamen Rider Ghost movie spin-off he directed episodes of Ex-Aid and then episodes of Build. Now, with the direction of this movie you can solidify Kamihoriuchi as a veteran of Kamen Rider.
The movie was written by Yuya Takahashi and Shogo Muto. Takahasi wrote for the Ex-Aid series and Muto is writting for the Build series. Takahashi is the more accomplished writer with more Kamen Rider projects and then big time Lupin III projects. It’s the reason why Kamen Rider Ex-Aid was so well written. Muto is new to Kamen Rider and has less projects under his belt. Crows and Crows Zero a manga, turned television show, turned movie is his biggest past work. These two put together a masterpiece of a script and story for Heisei Generations.
Heisei Generations is a well driven movie with the music, story, direction, and cinematography. A hour and thirty-one minutes flew by and I was engrossed in the film for every bit of it including the ending credits. There’s so much development in the characters both new and old that just gives this generation of Riders an untouchable feeling. I can’t wait for the next generation of Riders and Heisei will always be dear to my heart.

You know you’re in for a great time at Hilltop Hoods show, and Saturday night’s ‘The Great Expanse’ gig at the Riverstage in Brisbane, while exceptional, was no exception to this rule.
It was a full house and all smiles from the moment the Hilltop Hoods strode on stage. The set was a multi-layered affair, with DJ Debris at the top of the pyramid, the drummer and horn section on the next level, guest singer Niasa in the middle and roaming the front of the stage, Pressure and Suffa. If you did a double take at the mention of the horn section, yes you read correctly. Perhaps inspired by their 2016 orchestra-backed performances, the Hilltop Hoods brought their own three piece horn section.
They didn’t stop there with the unexpected additions – before launching into ‘Exit Sign’, the Hilltops brought Illy and Ecca Vandal out to bring the song to life. Flames, smoke, sparks and a streamer bomb also added to the surprise element throughout the show.
‘Chase the Feeling’ from 2009 album ‘State of The Art’ was the opening track releasing the pent up excitement of the crowd. In order to avoid hate mail, as Suffa mentioned, other old favourites like ‘Cosby Sweater’, ‘Live and Let Go’, ‘Hard Road’ and of course ‘Nosebleed Section’ all appeared through the evening,
It wasn’t all a one sided affair though, there was plenty of audience participation besides the exultant sing-alongs and bouncing like bedsprings on a honeymoon. Pressure had everyone get their phones out to light the night for ‘Through The Dark’, and ‘Rattling the Keys to the Kingdom’ required everyone to swing a piece of clothing high overhead. The night was really all about ‘The Great Expanse’ though, from the intergalactic imagery to the album-heavy set list. With their impeccable live renditions of songs such as ‘Leave Me Lonely’, ‘Be Yourself’, ‘Counterweight’ and more, anyone who didn’t already have the album would have grabbed a copy from the merch tent.
Inspiring, stirring, amusing and just a damn good time, the Hilltop Hoods are always a must-see. Shout out to support acts, Shadow and Mojo Juju who did a stellar job of warming the crowd on a fresh Brisbane night.

JSON-NLP 2 RDF / Triple Mapping Language (JRML)
Mapping languages like RML or R2RML are limited when it comes to the complex mapping issues that emerge when mapping RDF, triples, or JSON-LD from unstructured text, spoken language (transcripts), or image content descriptions.
The JSON-NLP format, depending on the underlying NLP components, contains rich linguistic annotations at different linguistic levels (e.g. lexical, syntactic, semantic). Semantic properties encoded for example as Knowledge Graphs (or RDF triples) are related to all these different properties, depending on multiple cooccurrences and particular features.
For example, imagine a very simplistic approach of mapping linguistic properties from just the dependency tree for a particular sentence like “Peter read a book.“
By picking the verb and the dependent elements from the sentence labeled nsubj and dobj we could construct a simple triple (Peter, read, book). We do not know exactly which semantic version of read the main predicate represents in this construction. If we compare the different constructions to read her fortune or to read her like a book, reading the clouds or the waves, read dig for dog, the thermometer reads 30, you can see that there are different meanings of read. JSON-NLP can disambiguate those different meanings and provide the PropBank ID of the main predicate (or verb). In a more accurate RDF or JSON-LD representation we might want to refer to the semantically narrower representation of the verb. We would like to have a mapping instrument or language that allows us to pick this specific ID or label for the verb from JSON-NLP.
It is also easy to see that the sentence Peter read a book is in fact a claim about an event in the past. Assuming that the speaker or writer had no intentions to deceive the reader, we could assume that the extracted triple is claimed to be true. On the other hand, we know that a sentence like Peter will read a book is describing a potential future event. When we extract the RDF triple, we might want to take this knowledge into account and provide a non-factive attribute to the triple. However, the approach based on just the dependency parse tree as explained above, would not allow us to detect the difference:
In fact, the information that the sentence is in future tense is not obvious in the dependency parse tree. JSON-NLP, however, provides this information at the sentence and clause level. To access it and make the correct decision about the extraction of the RDF triple and semantic mapping into some Description Logic representation, we use JRML here.
The text that we want to process might contain anaphoric expressions, as for example in:
Mary read a book. She enjoyed it.
In these two sentences we automatically understand that she refers to Mary, and it to book. Our JSON-NLP provides this information in its coreference section. To generate a triple like (Mary, enjoy, book) from She enjoyed it, we need to dereference the pronouns and replace them with the entities from the preceding context that semantically and morpho-syntactically fit.
JRML simplifies the access to JSON-NLP encoded properties. It provides a simple access language to highly complex linguistic annotation dependencies in the rich JSON-NLP format. JRML makes it extremely easy to map highly semantically accurate Knowledge Graphs and representations of meaning from content in unstructured text, spoken language transcripts, or image descriptions.
Rules are preceded by the Rule keyword, followed by a name and a colon:
The rule-body contains a pattern that uses variable names in a clause and sentence, a production rule, and output triples:
X[dep="nsubj"] Y[pos="VERB"] Z[dep="dobj"] --> (X.lemma, Y.lemma, Z.lemma)
The simple mapping rule above will generate the triple (John, call, teacher) from the sentence John called his teachers. We can extend the rule in various forms, including specification of other properties in the output, as for example the Part-of-Speech tag, a specific annotation or attribute value associated with the predicate, or a concrete value. Production rules could be formulated as:
(X.lemma, "hasAge", 32) (X.lemma, Y.lemma[date="08/01/2020"], Z.lemma[num="pl"]) (X.lemma [gen="male", animate], Y.lemma, Z.lemma [num="pl", animate=true] )
In the attribute value annotation, we allow for logical checks as with animate in the case of X. This animate is interpreted as set the animate attribute of the matching entity X in the clause to true. The animate=true attribute on Z does the same thing explicitely.
The matching part of a rule allows for specification of various feature value attributes and larger number of variables. Variables mentioned in the output portion of the mapping rule have to be defined in the matching portion of it.
The file test.dat provides some more examples of the complexity the language and rules in the matcher and output generator. Since the rules are not meant to make sense, just to test the parser, we recommend not to waste time by trying to interpret them in any sensible semantic or pragmatic way. | <urn:uuid:be16ac62-d210-4c58-be68-788116b979d4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.semiring.com/2020/08/20/2020-08-20-JSON-NLP-2-RDF-Mapping-Language-Specification/ | 2020-09-26T07:43:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.910379 | 1,128 |

Hi Everyone, I’m Amanda, but when I am cooking my friends and family just call me Betty Crocker. My passion is making anything and everything from scratch. My absolute favorite compliment to hear about my cooking is“You MADE that??” My goal is to teach YOU that cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be intimidating or overwhelming, and it will open SO many doors. As a from scratch cook you can do everything from throwing a KILLER dinner party to quickly and easily putting dinner on the table for your family. You will gain the ability to rock it in the kitchen always. The question “WHAT’S FOR DINNER?” won’t have to plague you, because you’ll have the skills to throw together great meals, without recipes, with foods you have on hand.
HOW I GOT HERE
When I began studying nutrition in school, I thought the cooking classes would be a necessary evil that I had to get through to get my degree. I had never cooked a thing in my life aside from Ramen Noodles and Ravioli from a can. I was determined to be a career woman and was on what I considered to be the best route to get there. When I took my first cooking class, everything changed. I found a true LOVE of being in the kitchen. I discovered that I was MORE interested in the science of what food does in the kitchen than what it does in your body. I was truly hooked. I began reading food blogs, magazines, and MOST importantly, I began experimenting. I found real joy in cooking things that most people thought had to be purchased from the store. I also discovered that I like cooking with sugar and butter, ahem, a lot. But I like veggies a lot too!
WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR YOU
I want to take the fear out of cooking and show you the joy and empowerment that comes from creating in the kitchen. I hope that through this blog I can give you some rockin’ from scratch recipes, but more importantly, that I can teach you the steps and tools to make any of your own favorite recipes from scratch. You truly can ditch packets and mixes, and find joy in creating stellar meals for your family, from scratch! | <urn:uuid:686b3ae5-3abf-4f71-a37d-9f54ab5aa796> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://callmebetty.com/about/ | 2020-09-26T09:26:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.978178 | 467 |
Verida Health has been collaborating with Kentridge Health, a leading Singapore healthcare company, demonstrating an end-to-end decentralised solution that provides COVID19 test results to the public.
These test results are issued as Verifiable Credentials that can be verified by third parties such as employers, government departments and other private sector businesses as required.
This is one of several projects Verida Health is currently undertaking that leverage the Verida Framework to build decentralised health care solutions using emerging web standards. These include W3C standards such as Decentralized Identity (DID), Verifiable Credentials (VC) leveraging public blockchains such as Ethereum and VeChain.
While this solution is focused on sending pathology results to citizens that can be instantly verified, the same solution can be expanded for other use cases to quickly issue verifiable credentials to the public. For example, this solution could be used to issue digital travel permits to essential workers instead of the paper permits being deployed in Victoria.How does it work?
There are three parts to the solution:Send a test result — Used by pathology lab employees to send a pathology result to a patient Receive a test result — Enables a patient to access their pathology result and download a QR code representing a verifiable credential containing their data Verify a test result — Enables a third party (ie: employer, government etc.) to scan a patient’s QR code to view the test result data and cryptographically verify the verifiable credential
A pathology lab creates an account on one of the supported blockchains (currently Ethereum and VeChain) through our Credential Manager web application. This account becomes a W3C compatible decentralized identity (DID) that can be used to digitally sign pathology results.

I usually start most Mexican food themed blog posts saying something like, “If you know me, you know that I love Mexican food….”, however I think I have gotten that point across already. So here we are with another Mexican food recipe, and sure enough it’s delicious. This recipe is super easy and quick, and it’s likely you have most of the ingredients on hand. The only thing I had to run out for was a red onion (I only keep bags of yellow onions in the fridge) and fresh cilantro….wait, what was that? You don’t like cilantro? Oh, well, just skip that ingredient and leave it out! I don’t understand all the cilantro haters, but to each their own! You can also use pretty much any cheese in here, but I liked the pepper jack for a bit a spice….however, these tacos are not spicy, and very suitable for kids. In fact, next time I make them I am going to add more chili powder or something because I’d like a little more punch to my tacos. Feel free to do the same.
Before I made this, I had never ‘fried’ corn tortillas. Call me crazy, but I’ve never made a recipe that called for a crispy corn tortilla…until now. I am not crazy about frying things, and I think the less oil the better. With this recipe, you don’t need to go crazy with the oil….Spray the pan with your Olive Oil Sprayer or swirl a bit into the pan. You don’t need a lot. You could probably even use none, and just let them get crispy with time….I’d recommend using a little though, come on, this is Mexican food after all! Having a nice cast iron skillet will also help with the crispy shell!
So anyway, quick tip about the tortillas- Be sure to lay each one down in the pan and heat for a few seconds before you put the filling inside. I thought maybe it would be easier to make them on the counter, and then put them into the pan….well guess what? All my corn tortillas broke in half at the fold. Luckily this only happened to 3 and I learned from my mistakes. Just throw them in the pan, and then after a few seconds put the filling in the shell, and use a spatula to close the tortilla. Let it get crispy on each side (just a few minutes per side), and then you are done. Done and done. Do it.
- 2 cups black beans, cooked
- ½ cup red onion, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
- 2 TBS cilantro, chopped
- 4-6 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
- 2 TBS olive oil
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 8 corn tortillas (I used like 10 or 11 with all the filling)
- Hot sauce
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Sour cream
- 1. In a medium bowl, add beans along with red onion, cilantro, and spices. Add a pinch of salt and lightly mash all of the ingredients together.
- 2. In a large, non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet, add a few tablespoons of oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- 3. Add one corn tortilla at a time and let each get hot in the oil for a few seconds. Then add about 1/4 cup of the bean filling to one half of the tortilla. Press down and even out with back of spoon. Top with a sprinkle of grated cheese.
- 4. Using a spatula, carefully fold the tortilla over so it forms a shell. Press down lightly on the tortilla so it holds its shape.
- 5. As the first tortilla cooks, move it to the side and do a second one. Depending on the size of your pan, you should be able to get 2 or 3 tacos at once. If you have a griddle you can do even more at once.
- 6. Cook each taco for about 3 minutes per side until they are nicely browned and crispy.
- 7. When flipping the taco to cook on the other side, use a spatula and flip the taco toward the fold so the filling doesn't fall out. I slide my tacos to the sides of the pan to keep the toppings inside (opening against side of pan).
- 8. Serve tacos with toppings like hot sauce, salsa, avocados, and sour cream.
- Note: Corn tortillas are resilient to heat. Don’t worry about burning them. They are very flexible. Just be sure to cook them on each side long enough to get them really crispy.
- **These photos were taken after the tacos were already cooked. You should only have 2-3 in the pan at a time as detailed in above directions. | <urn:uuid:5b04c144-9486-46c7-b08b-80fdf6f399ae> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://domesticsuperhero.com/crispy-black-bean-tacos/ | 2020-09-26T07:24:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.949502 | 1,040 |

There’s a feeling of void as I write this, for what had been an integral part of life for over two months is now a beautiful, forever etched memory that may or may not repeat for me the same way. What the world saw as a ritualistic anointment ceremony of a 39 feet tall colossus at Dharmasthala, was in fact for me a phenomenon that opened new horizons of understandings on a number of levels.
Everyone comprehends the importance of a large scale religious ceremony on the level of religious importance, and to some extent the level of spiritual. However, the intricate factors noticeable at these instances that collectively form the social conscience of the country often go overlooked. No matter how condemned or how questioned on media levels the religious aspects in India would be, the fact remains that NOTHING drives the collective conscience of the nation as much as our religious roots. This ceremony, for me, was just another testimony of that.
A larger-than-life celebration of the sacrificial ideals of Jainism attracted people from all communities of the area, which is not a new thing for any sort of Indian festivities. What does distinguish this one is the notion that ideals of Jainism have always had the reputation for being extreme in nature, sometimes highly unconventional for a ‘normal’ society. After all, it is not every day that you’d see over 50 sky-clad men revered with utmost regard, with zero consideration towards the fact that they do not fit in to the everyday norms of the society whatsoever. It is natural that Jains revere them, but the same extent of consideration received from other communities who make attempts at understanding what ascetics stand for in Jainism, why they lead a life of such extreme discomfort; and how they deserve to be treated is evidence that the ability to respect all religions comes to us as naturally as breathing.
Executing an event of this scale in the contemporary context is hands down impossible if it is just one community doing it all. It only worked because thousands of people, young and old, came together with an impression that it all belongs to us, owing to which 10 days of grandeur unfolded at Dharmasthala in such smooth and precise manner.
Religion and spirituality are anything but old school, considering the ways the current generation has adapted and implemented them. The 3D projection show that accompanied the anointment ceremony justified that traditional roots are just as capable of fostering innovation and modernity as any other factor. The generation craves to remain in touch with what has shaped our being through ages, as opposed to the outward notion that modernization is directing them the other way. It was all young people who ensured all regulations, religious and otherwise, were upheld to perfection throughout the ceremony.
Community events as large as this one are no short of a boon for social well being in India. The extent of coming together of diversities it takes to pull it off is just the right way to keep a social system intact. There’s a highly loved and revered leader, a pious religious community and a magnanimous metaphysical symbol carved out in stone that collectively brought together lakhs of people to perfectly coordinate in one direction, even though they all hardly knew each other. The colossus has, in fact, played the role of directing the positive collective conscience of the humankind in the area ever since it was envisioned. Over 50 years later, it hasn’t moved a tinge but has hauled the best of spiritual orientation in people around the state. It is nothing but incredible how much impact a religiously oriented symbol can have on the holistic well being of a system.
I’m thankful to the level of lack of words for expression. The anointment, which I read somewhere as ‘a pageant fit for the Gods alone’ shall happen next 12 years later, and who knows what that one would look like. For now, despite the sense of void that its all over, I cannot refrain from feeling that deep sense of gratitude that I was lucky enough to be a close part of this.

It’s winter. For those of us in Texas, this means almost perfect weather….nice temperatures, clear skies, many leafless trees and excellent bird watching. Not so for many parts of our country where falling snow and adverse weather conditions may limit outdoor time for many people. Enter Cornell University’s Live Bird Cams.
Each year I open each of these cams on my computer and delight in watching many different species up close and personal as they build nests, lay their eggs, incubate, feed, nourish and teach their offspring survival skills and then watch them fledge for the first time. Each of these bird events is highly anticipated by thousands of viewers all over the world. Ah, what a wonderful thing is this internet. Allowing each of us windows into different worlds that may literally be a world away. A giant thank you to Cornell University for supporting and facilitating these cameras and an equally large thank you to all the volunteers that moderate these sites teaching us about these birds, their habits and behaviors. I have learned so much and have also discovered that viewing birds on the camera has transferred to better identification skills for me in the field.
In Hawaii I get to enjoy a Laysan Albatross as she and her mate build a simple nest of a few sticks on the ground, tend to their young for a long seven month period before that one youngster takes to its wings for the first time. Last year I felt privileged to watch the young Albatross trundle up a hill that overlooked the ocean, open her wings and launch herself into the air for the first time. She will spend the next couple of years soaring high above the ocean. It was a magical moment filled with raw emotion….the sheer beauty of this bird instinctively thrusting herself into the Albatross life.
Drama unfolds at these cam sites. Red-tailed Hawks Ezra and Big Red have been successful for many years in raising their young on the Cornell University campus. Campus goers actually write notes in chalk to them on the sidewalk below their nest site. One of their fledglings was injured in a crazy impossible accident involving a greenhouse roof on the campus that closed on the young bird and injured his wing. The dedicated BOGs (birders on the ground) that track the fledglings movements called for help and he received the best veterinarian care in the hopes he could be returned to the wild. Unfortunately this didn’t happen so E3 is now being used for educational programs. His life is happy and he definitely will not have to worry about survival in the wild.
Dottie and Casper are two barn owls that live in Texas. I’ve watched and rooted for their offspring, one in particular. Ollie was the fourth egg to hatch and seemed to be struggling to survive since his older siblings seemed to get the lion’s share of the food Mom and Dad brought to them. But as I watched Ollie got stronger, beating the odds that he might experience the siblicide fate of so many. Today Dottie has returned to the nesting box, but so far no sighting of Casper. There has been another male owl periodically and all of us “watchers” are anxiously awaiting Casper’s arrival. Did he survive the winter? Is this new male owl (already named Dash) his replacement? Only time will tell.
And even when the birds have finished their nesting and young raising chores, the bird feeders on Sapsucker Pond and in Ontario Canada continue to provide great bird watching and many surprises throughout the year. It was on the Sapsucker Pond feeder that I saw my first Pileated Woodpecker. And in Ontario I saw my first ruffed grouse.
If you are wheelchair or home bound these cams are for you. If you work in a cubicle with no windows to the outside world, these cameras are for you. Or if you just wish to have a secretive look at birds in their natural environment and watch them work their many wonders, then these cams are for you. I know they have greatly enhanced my serenity, my knowledge of birds and my identification skills. So check them out. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Happy bird searching!!!

I love philosophy because I love how asking the right question can flip the world upside down.
Many years ago I dedicated myself to the pursuit of spiritual awakening. I left the life I had been living and embarked on an adventure without any map of the territory. During all that time I had the time and space to do as much spiritual practice as anyone could ever want.
Over all those years I was blessed with more breakthrough experiences and energetic openings than I can remember. Some were dramatic others were so subtle that you could almost miss them, but what they all have in common is that they instantaneously shifted my perspective and brought me into a new perception of reality.
When we call an experience spiritual, mystical or transformative this is often the quality we are speaking of. These experiences are so life altering because they do more than just illuminate the world as it is. They reveal new worlds of possibility to us.
Sometimes this shift is dramatic and we experience things that we never have before. Sometimes nothing seems to have changed and yet everything is different.
When we experience thee reality shifting moments it is like falling through a wormhole. A wormhole is a hypothetical connection between two distant points in space. Theoretically if you enter into the wormhole here you instantaneously find yourself way over there.
Many of my most profound spiritual experiences have come as a result of doing spiritual practice. One minute I am sitting meditating and suddenly the world has changed and everything is different.
Once during a long meditation retreat I woke up with a tremendous pain at the base of my spine. I walked around the room rubbing it to make it go away.
Finally I gave up and just sat on my bed. As soon as I did a roaring white light shot up right through the top of my head. For a few seconds it poured through me hurting my eyes with its brightness.
When it finally ended I just sat there looking around the room. Nothing was different but everything had changed. Suddenly nothing seemed solid. Everything I could see felt like just a facade – a thin covering over depths of reality beyond what I could see or understand.
Suddenly the room I was in felt like a tiny drop in an infinite sea. I felt myself floating in a space without edges. Suddenly everything was mysterious and wonderful. I had fallen through a wormhole.
There are certain practices that hold our attention near the edge of a wormhole. When we engage in these practices or inquiries we are effectively dancing on the edge of a wormhole.
If we dance there long enough we will eventually fall in and when we do, we will suddenly find ourselves in another world of possibility.
One of the most powerful wormholes to dance around is the wormhole of ‘just being.’ When we sit in meditation allowing our experience to rise and pass away without reacting to any of it we are precariously perched at the edge of a magnificent wormhole.
It is less commonly understood that there are also forms of inquiry that offer equally powerful ways to dance on the edge of wormholes. Whenever we question the foundational assumptions of life as we know it we bring ourselves right to the edge of the universe.
The great Indian Sage Ramana Maharishi famously asked his disciples to use the simple question, “Who am I?” as a wormhole inquiry that propelled thousands of his followers into radical states of realization.
When I teach philosophy I use simple and penetrating questions that challenge the foundation of our current reality.
Is thinking really something that happens inside us?
Am I really separate from you?
Is yesterday really in the past?
These are all the kinds of questions that can lead to an instantaneous shift in consciousness and perspective.
Philosophy is too often thought of as only an academic endeavor involving reading and commenting on texts. To me nothing could be further from the truth.
Philosophy is the art of questioning our most fundamental assumptions about reality and then following those inquiries into new worlds of possibility. This is what I am calling here The Way of the Wormhole.
Zen masters have used the art of the koan for thousands of years to provoke dramatic shifts in awareness. As a teacher I encourage the art of questioning, I want to make deep thinking fashionable again. And I am not alone.
Sometimes we look out at the world that we live in and we wonder where all the intelligence has gone. Too often we seem willing to sink to the lowest common denominator.
But that is not the whole story.
In my studies I am finding remarkable individuals, academics and independent scholars who are asking incredibly insightful questions. Each in their own way is trying to pry at the edges of reality and lift off some of the facade so we can get a glimpse of the unimaginable depths below.
I have had the honor and the privilege to meet some of these pioneering thinkers. I study their work and I teach it. Our minds are not the enemy even if our old ways of thinking may be.
Our minds are not going to go away. They are going to be retooled and re-purposed. Thinking more is not enough. To shift into a new paradigm and recreate the world we need to think differently. | <urn:uuid:83756556-56dd-4661-8ca7-ae9bb84924a8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://jeffcarreira.com/way-wormhole-art-inquiry/ | 2020-09-26T09:18:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967043 | 1,059 |

A guest post from Obsvr The defining characteristic of field artillery for the last century has been ‘firepower mobility’ of indirect fire. Any target within range can be engaged, providing the effective command and control arrangements are in place.

I was in Court yesterday morning and I genuinely had the opportunity to introduce two professionals. I met my client’s daughter who is a psychologist involved with dependency cases. I also met my opposing counsel who is a Board Certified Juvenile attorney dealing with tons of dependency cases. Perfect timing for an introduction that promises to be fruitful.
My intern noticed: “you are always connecting people.”
I replied: “Sometimes you do not have the opportunity to ‘payback’ so you “pay forward.” I have been helped so much, I always try to pass it on by ‘giving forward.'”
As I was driving to the office, I get a phone call. It was a colleague in another city who promised (voluntarily) to give me a heads up on his very unique and effective estate planning strategy.
I received an hour of a class that by its content is priceless! There is no book written on the subject (yet).
I certainly love giving forward. What goes around, comes around!

09 Jun "Changes at the Panty Pantry"
My family really enjoys living close to the local grocery store. We were even happy when the store announced they were expanding and would be selling clothing and toys. The day arrived when the new “Grand Opening” was happening. Of course, I had to go see what all the excitement was about. I just knew I would find something to purchase.
We refer to our store as “The Pantry” because we live so close that we can just pop in the store and get the items that we need without having to travel far. It’s like having a “food pantry” right near our home.
One aisle of the new section of the store has my favorite brand of ladies underwear. My husband refers to that section as the “PANTY PANTRY”. He doesn’t really go over to that part of the store very often. He prefers to shop in the food sections. (and I totally understand that he doesn’t want to shop in the ladies panty section)
I love the extra coupons that the store offers, too. Clothing usually gets an extra 15% off with the coupon. I have found some great deals on socks, underwear and pajamas at this store.
However, imagine my shock when I went to the store this week and found that the ladies underwear(panty) section had been reduced to a couple of items. Oh, no!!! No more of my favorite brand of ladies panties. Whatever shall I do? Now, I will have to go to another store. Oh, well……
As my husband tells me, there have been “changes at the panty pantry”. Maybe one day, the store will carry the item again, or maybe, just maybe, I will have to adjust. This is a minor change. No worries.
Of course, as usual, my husband and I have enjoyed some laughter about the “Panty Pantry”. A few of our friends know about our name for the store and they have enjoyed some laughter, too.
How do you adjust to change, even if it is a minor change? Do you get upset? Do you turn to God first or try to handle things on your own? Each change can be a learning experience for us. We must look for the positive in each situation.
Have a wonderful day and look for ways to find the joy and laughter in the simple things in life, even if it is something as silly as the “Panty Pantry”.

Farm Charm – New Release from ReelNRG Slots
Spend your holidays at the farmhouse and get some big wins with a new release from ReelNRG!
Farm Charm slot machine offers a 5×3 grid, 20 pay lines and a vast number of game features, comprising cascading wins, a Respin Reward feature, a Hay Bale Bonus and many more. According to the provider, the title is created for huge prizes! Let us go into the details.
As it was mentioned before, Farm Charm is a cascading reel video slot with 5 reels and 3 rows. There is no need to remind you that playing cascading slots, you increase your chances to win. All the winning combinations disappear to make space for new potential wins. In theory, the game can continue as long as new good combos fill up the reels.
The RTP of the slot is 96.01%. Relying on the ReelNRG’s information, the game has “low to medium” volatility, which we cannot but welcome. Low-value icons are presented by standard cards, starting from 9 and ending with an Ace. In their turn, a rabbit, a pig, chickens, and a hen are the high-value ones. 5-of-a-kind of hens will award you with 2000x your stake. Sleeping cutie fox is a wild symbol, which replaces all the other icons, except the scatter and the bonus symbol. A scatter symbol is a cow and a sheep is a special bonus icon.
The max possible win in the game is 6000x.
Bonuses and Features
Farm Charm video slot is full of different features and bonuses. We have already mentioned cascading reels and expanding wilds. Along with that, there is a Respin Reward Feature, a Hay Bale Bonus and Free Spins, for sure.
The Respin Reward Feature triggers randomly in a base game mode. During this feature, the player is awarded a respin with high paying symbols.
Three or more Bonus symbols will trigger the Hay Bale Bonus. In this bonus mode, you can win a multiplier on your bet. The provider offers us 3 options: Spin, Collect, or 2x Multiplier & Spin. Choose one of the haymows and get your prize! The bonus game continues until a player picks the Collect option.
The amount of Free Rounds depends on scatters. 3, 4 or 5 Free Spins symbols will trigger 10, 15 or 25 free spins. 3 more scatters in the bonus game will trigger additional Free Spins. One more advantage is here: an expanding wild icon can appear on a random reel on any spin.
The game will be available for players this month. Play the game and enjoy it!

To my prudence, love, knowledge and glee.
We spent nights and days, talking endlessly,
Of sorrow, thoughts, books, future, reality,
So close we were but, we never knew why.
A sibling? Lover? Friend? Partner?
We dreamt of living, together and free,
Of doing everything, that we couldn’t complete.
But Alas! Life came, and tore us apart,
Made us, not one, but two hearts.
Never feeling the fact, I carried on.
Never knowing me full, it carried on.
I was never able, to show till now
How much I loved it, does it matter now? | <urn:uuid:e1cb29bd-1926-4045-b881-6b46a060a642> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pathaniaabhishek.wordpress.com/tag/past/ | 2020-09-26T07:33:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.91664 | 145 |
On the first of February, 1896, Albert Fountain, prominent attorney, legislator, and tough leader of Indian and outlaw fighting militia, despite threats on his life and his eight year-old son Henry being with him, drove his wagon across the wild and lonely Tularosa basin of New Mexico. They were returning home after Albert’s two-week meeting with a grand jury to obtain indictments of ranchers for cattle theft.
Mariana Pérez de Ovante, Albert’s wife, believing no one attacked a man traveling with a little boy, had begged Albert to take Henry with him. When Albert finally acquiesced, she asked Henry to be her knight and protect his father. When Henry exuberantly agreed, she gave him a carved ivory horsehead pocket watch fob to remind him of her pride in his choice to be her knight and protect his father.
The historical facts are that on that windy, freezing day, the first of February 1896, Albert and Henry Fountain disappeared. Their bodies never found, their empty wagon miles out in the desert headed for the ranch of an enemy, their horses gone, and near where their wagon turned off the main road, a patch of blood-soaked sand glistened in the sunlight. Legends say Henry survived to avenge Albert’s murder, but only the wind and dead men know for sure.
Mariana’s Knight is gripping historical fiction, a fact-filled story, still debated today, of tragedy and revenge that carries the reader across a whirlwind of time, characters, and events in the desert southwest.

First time moms get a lot of advice, sometimes it is a lot of unwanted advice. Eventually it gets to a point where it goes in one ear and out the other. Typically, a first time mom trusts one or two people; their mom (or motherly figure) and their doctor. Of course, their moms have been there and done that with the whole pregnancy and birthing thing and doctors have been there through countless pregnancies and births, why wouldn’t we trust them? After all they are supposed to be the experts, right?
In 2012 the United States cesarean rate was 32.8% (Cesarean Section, n.d.). C-sections are the most common procedure performed in operating rooms in the United States. Why? Well first and foremost I must say that there are real case emergencies where C-sections are needed in order to save the life of the baby and/or the mother. However, in many cases women are not allowed the option to have a vaginal birth (read my son’s birth story) because of various reasons that doctors come up with (not an actual emergency).
- Breech position – feet first instead of head first
- Carrying more than one baby
- Mother being overweight
- “Big Baby” – a big baby is considered any weight that is more than 4,000 grams or 8 pounds 13 ounces (1 out of 10 women will have a “big baby”)
The question is, are doctors doing these non-emergency C-sections based on medical reasons or for themselves? The average price of a vaginal birth is around $3,500 and on average a C-section birth is around $4,500 (mine in total was more than $10,000 it was not an emergency and I had no complications). So of course, by performing a C-section the doctor is making more money. Not only does the doctor make more money, but so does the hospital. The average first time mom is in labor for a total of 18 hours, it can be more or less. If a doctor plans a C-section that means they won’t have to spend 18 hours waiting for a baby to come out.
So, why am I throwing all these facts out at you? I want you to have the information you need in order to make an informed decision about your birth. Don’t be afraid to stick up for yourself and tell your doctor, “no”. It isn’t illegal to refuse. Of course, there are reasons that C-sections are absolutely necessary, but not for just the convenience of it being a faster process. C-sections are not the “easy way out”. It is major surgery, you get by because you have to. It is hard to let your body rest with a newborn and your urge to bond with them. I don’t know about other C-section moms, but even today (nearly 4 years post-partum) my scar area is still numb. If you want more on my experience with my C-section and recovery feel free to ask.
You know when you read a blog there is usually one major point the writer is trying to make and they usually put it in bold and say “if you take away anything let it be this”? Well, this blog is not any different.
Your birth is just that, YOURS. It is up to you to read your body for what is right and what is wrong. Don’t assume that your doctor’s opinions are always right for you. Question it, research both sides of it. Ask other mom’s and weigh your options carefully. Seek a second opinion if you need to.
For legal reasons though, I must tell you I am not a professional by any means. This is just my advice. I am not claiming that all doctors are like this and you shouldn’t trust them at all. I just want you to be aware of the choices that they are making for you.

Easy Research Paper TopicsOne of the best things you can do to increase your chances of getting a research paper accepted is to select the easiest research paper topics. The trick here is to ensure that your topic does not deviate too much from the accepted topics. Your paper must be unique and not overly focused on one particular topic.
As part of the overall preparation for your paper, it is important to find the easiest research paper topics. By finding the easiest research paper topics, you have already made a major step towards preparing for your paper. The hardest part will be finding topics that are too easy and too hard.
It is possible to select easy papers because many are written in the same way. You might just need to modify your research question so that it is more general or make some slight changes in your approach to the paper. You can also use some traditional topics that you have already studied which are easy to write about.
An alternative way to finding easy research paper topics is to get a mentor to help you. In doing this, you will be able to hone your writing skills and apply what you have learned. You will be able to develop a list of topics that are too easy or that you have already practiced in a previous course.
There are also a number of different books and resources available that you can buy. With these, you will be able to obtain ideas for papers and to understand some basic topics. This can be of great assistance.
You should also consider giving your paper to a tutor. A tutor can also give you a list of topics that are too easy and those that you have already practiced. A tutor can also help you practice some papers and give you some tips that will help you polish up your topic. They will also be able to give you pointers about how to make your paper stand out.
If your topic is too easy, you should not worry. It is still possible to get a research paper accepted. After all, there are many people who have submitted papers on topics that were too easy.
Selecting the easiest research paper topics is essential if you want to increase your chances of getting a good grade on your paper. When you know the easiest research paper topics, you can increase your chance of getting the right paper by knowing what they are. Once you understand their pros and cons, you will be able to work your way to the top of the pile when it comes to the topic you select.
IB Extended Essay TopicsAn IB Extended Essay Topic, is an essay topic that is introduced at the end of a typical semester or quarter. Because it is part of a college syllabus, this extension for a standard course syllabus will usually not require any revisions.
Often, the first semester of any major curriculum is considered the 'extended essay' semester. This is because it includes the more advanced academic topics that are usually required by many colleges and universities. The purpose of these topics is to extend the learning curve.
Most of the time, the subject of the IB extended essay topics is some form of art. For example, a subject may be a painting or an artist such as Da Vinci. These topics are often not required at all, but there is nothing wrong with asking about them. If the art student has questions or concerns about the art form, he or she should address them to their teacher or professor.
If the art student is not sure which subject he or she should write about, they can always write to the Art Review Board to ask for advice. The course instructor will most likely give them a topic to choose from. A topic may also be selected from a list provided by the Art Review Board.
Many art students who have not studied art previously do not know what subject they should write about. Fortunately, there are many opportunities to work on different subjects that are popular at colleges. Many art classes are collaborative and include various students working on different art projects or even a completely independent project on a topic that interests them.
Typically, the IB Extended Essay Topic is the last one to be written in a semester. Because it is only six pages long, many students will only have one assignment to complete. This means that the student is likely to have a very successful essay on their hands when it comes time to submit it.
There are many options available to IB students. They can choose to write about movies, music, literature, or art. The choice of topic is up to the student. | <urn:uuid:fa980665-0848-4895-880f-de97736bc6c7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://researchpaper603.weebly.com/ | 2020-09-26T09:10:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969025 | 903 |
In Rejecting DNC Lawsuit Against WikiLeaks, Judge Strongly Defended First Amendment Rights Of Journalists
In a defense of the First Amendment, a federal judge ruled the Democratic National Committee cannot hold WikiLeaks liable for publishing information allegedly stolen by Russian agents.
The Mueller report on alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election lacks evidence that Russian agents passed Clinton campaign emails to WikiLeaks.
If anonymous officials are right and WikiLeaks knows the Kremlin used them to undermine a U.S. election, then the government and press bear some responsibility.

Memos attached to Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks reveal how the campaign worked around campaign finance regulations.
It appears that political appointees like Attorney General Loretta Lynch and others at the Justice Department put pressure on the FBI to protect Clinton.
Email posted by WikiLeaks reveals how Clinton adviser Neera Tanden justified hosting Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

How do you solve #4-x=sqrt(x-4)#?
The easy way
So the only solution is
The normal way
Square both sides of the equation to get:
#16-8x+x^2 = (4-x)^2 = (sqrt(x-4))^2 = x - 4#
Note that squaring both sides of an equation may introduce spurious solutions (as it does in this case).
#x^2-9x+20 = 0#
This factors as:
#(x-4)(x-5) = 0#
Then check the solutions:
Note that this happens because numbers have two square roots. When you square both sides of an equation you throw away some information. | <urn:uuid:181f5aae-8f9a-4fcb-8fbe-2b481c8b0304> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-solve-4-x-sqrt-x-4 | 2020-09-26T09:27:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.844858 | 162 |

Morning Prayer to Saint Therese De Lisieux
O my God! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to His infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of His merciful love. O my God, I ask of Thee for myself and for those dear to me the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy holy will, to accept, for love of Thee, the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in Heaven for all eternity. Amen.

Engineers and technicians who are just getting started in the electrical sector, who are not familiar with Power Systems in Substations and who want to have basic knowledge about Automation of electrical installations.if we consider Remote Terminal Unit Vs PLC then Remote Terminal Unit Play important Role in Substations and many more like transportation, metallurgy, petrochemistry, logistics, and agriculture It continues to gain popularity
RTU is specially designed to manage remote substations and power systems, integrating them into Operation SCADA and energy management systems (EMS)
What is a Remote Terminal Unit?
the remote terminal unit also called as RTU is a microcontroller-based device that is used to interface objects in the field instruments to SCADA it transmits telemetry data to and controls the devices based on a command from the master control system
They serve data from input streams in control loops to an output stream to be forwarded on to centralized control in industrial control systems.
RTUs automatically negotiate connections to either local or remote controls.
RTU started to be used by the U.S. oil and gas industry in the 1980s and gradually expanded to electricity, environmental protection, heating networks, water conservancy, and long-distance pipelines.
Why is RTU popular?
RTU is gaining popularity. The enterprise increasingly needs information.
In the past, some measurements were given up because they are scattered and the cost to collect data is too high.
Now data collection is needed. As enterprises increase in size and mergers occur, groups can span across cities or even some provinces.
Central management requires remote data collection. As RTU costs decrease, enterprises that gave up remote data collection because of high investment costs are starting to implement RTU systems.
RTU technologies have advanced. Communications, Internet, database, and signal transmission technologies also promote wider RTU use and market expansion.
Industrial wireless transmission technologies provide new RTU signal transmission methods.
Some newly emerging industries, such as solar power plants, wind power plants, and smart buildings, are new applications for RTUs.
Previously, we heard of digital oil fields, digital petrochemistry, and digital pipelines.
Recently I heard about digital mines in the metal mineral industry, and I also heard propaganda about a “digital city,” although we are still far from it, actually.
Remote Terminal Unit Vs PLC: Which is Right for You?
In my opinion, RTU can be defined narrowly and broadly. RTU in a narrow sense is defined as the basic components of a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system.
RTU in a broad sense is defined as the remote input/output (I/O) connections used by control systems, including PLC, DSC, field control systems (FCS), and SCADA.
The earliest SCADA had only data collection capability and RTU had two basic functions: data collection and processing, and data transmission.
With the functions of the system
expanded, RTU added PID control, logic control, and mathematical computation (such as gas temperature and pressure compensation).
So RTU for SCADA and remote I/O of PLC, DCS, and FCS have some common and different attributes.
RTU for SCADA can be connected to a control system comprising PLC, DCS, and FCS. We connected a remote supervisory and control terminal (an RTU product from Schlumberger) to a DCS system in the 1990s.
Remote I/O and even PLCs, DCSs, and FCSs can be connected to SCADA systems. | <urn:uuid:9a15ed49-c486-48b1-b03b-b8215918b408> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://theautomization.com/remote-terminal-unit-vs-plc/ | 2020-09-26T09:26:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.935141 | 744 |

Magnum – The Serpent Rings
One of the treats of being a prog fan is receiving any copy of a new album adorned with the fantasy art of either Roger Dean or Rodney Matthews. Matthews has taken on the duties once again to produce a fine cover for Magnum’s latest. Before I even had the chance to hear the urgent strings of the Wolf Kerschek Studio Orchestra burst into life for the opening to Where Are You Eden?, I couldn’t help but notice the detail of a number 21 amongst the Tolkein-esque creatures. Is this really Magnum’s 21st studio album? A distant memory of listening to Vigilante on my Sony Walkman as a kid whilst travelling on the X90 to London’s second-hand record shops pops into my head…
Such nostalgia might seem trivial, but it highlights a not inconsiderable detail for the lifelong Magnum fan. How does a band with such an extensive discography (one made all the more impressive by their lengthy hiatus during the ’90s) continue to sound fresh whilst still retaining that delicate balance between mainstream rock and prog that saw an album like On A Storyteller’s Night become their own diamond-standard and the envy of many a band who wished they had half of the song-writing talent of Tony Clarkin?
A little over two years ago, long-standing Magnum keyboardist Mark Stanway left the band. He was replaced by Rick Benton and, soon after, they released Lost on the Road to Eternity. Without wishing to be unkind to Stanway, this album breathed new life into the band. Benton’s arrangements of the keyboard parts were excellent and, along with some of Clarkin’s best compositions in years, and an enriched orchestral sound, Magnum put together what, I think, is their best effort since they reformed.
Happily, The Serpent Rings maintains the band’s new lease of life and is a magnificent follow-up, if not quite its equal. The opener, the aforementioned Where Are You Eden?, rumbles into life with the orchestra’s strings which then ignite a Wings of Heaven-era rocker that the band have proudly been presenting as a foretaste for the album. You Can’t Run Faster Than Bullets suggests business as usual with a chugging guitar riff that carries the chorus’s vocal melody. Bob Catley really pushes his voice here.
By the third track, the album really starts to take off. Madman Or Messiah treats the listener to a delightful mix of a Supertramp-y verse, a memorably melodic chorus and a guitar solo that is classic Clarkin. The Archway of Tears is undoubtedly the album’s finest cut. The opening piano speaks of a no-nonsense rock ballad. I mentioned Wings of Heaven earlier on, and I think this is a song that would sit comfortably alongside such auspicious company as Wild Swan and Start Talking Love. The chorus will be stuck in your head long after the song’s over.
Along with …Eden?, Not Forgiven is the other track that the band have released in advance of the album. It’s easy to see why this was one of the choices, with the sort of guitar riff one expects from the Seventies rock songbook, there’s an affectionate nod to their earliest work and another solid chorus which plays to all of Catley’s still considerable vocal strengths.
At seven minutes, the title track is the album’s longest and opens with brooding strings and piano suggesting this might be Number 21’s epic. The Serpent Rings builds for over two minutes before hitting its first chorus. Another of the album’s highlights, this strikes just the right balance between orchestra, piano and guitar; there’s even an atmospheric closing section that slips through compound time into Japanese strings.
House of Kings marries its heavy rock to a jazz-infused Benton solo and The Great Unknown is no less successful in surprising the listener with its melodic and rhythmic contrasts. Man offers an off-beat reggae rhythm for its chorus whilst the unexpected chord changes on the verse of The Last One on Earth provide the contrast to a memorable chorus. The album is rounded off by the superb Crimson on the White Sand which I have little doubt may well become a fan favourite; I love the simple but effective keyboard line that underlies the vocals on the chorus and the Medievalism of the middle section is sure to please Storyteller’s… fans. Round all of this off with lyrics that thoughtfully situate themselves amongst the current social and political dilemmas and this is a Magnum album to savour.

Native Americans in the United States This map shows the approximate location of the ice-free corridor and specific Paleoindian sites Clovis theory. It is not definitively known how or when the Native Americans first settled the Americas and the present-day United States. The prevailing theory proposes that people migrated from Eurasia across Beringiaa land bridge that connected Siberia to present-day Alaska during the Ice Ageand then spread southward throughout the Americas.
Smallpox appears to have been endemic in many countries throughout the world, dating back to ancient history 1.
Smallpox epidemics were responsible for bringing about the end of at least three empires 3 and its potential for use as a biological weapon dates back to the French-Indian War when a British commander suggested using the virus to reduce the Indian population 4.
Smallpox was first brought to the New World by conquistadors from Spain and Portugal, and later by European settlers to the northeastern coast of North America. The virus had devastating effects on populations of Native Americans, including the Inca and Aztec tribes.
The slave trade contributed to the incidence of smallpox in America because the disease was endemic in many of the regions of Africa from which slaves were captured 2. Smallpox is not easily spread through casual contact 5but conditions of overcrowding and poor sanitation contributed to epidemics in the Northeast during the s and into the early s 6.
Estimates of the virulence of smallpox vary widely, and appear to be related to particular populations and environmental conditions of the time. Recovery from smallpox granted lifelong immunity, but survivors were often left with disfiguring scars that were especially prominent on the face.
Many people were rendered blind by smallpox due to scarring of the cornea 7. History of Vaccination The history of vaccination begins with attempts to reduce the number of people who died as a result of smallpox infection 3, 8. Inoculation against smallpox involved using a knife, lancet, or scalpel to make a cut in the arm or leg of the patient and then transferring biological matter taken directly from the oozing pustule of an infected person 9.
This process, called arm-to-arm inoculation, resulted in the inoculated person developing a form of the illness, but the course tended to be shorter in duration and milder in symptoms. Some people died as a result of inoculation, but those who recovered were immune to smallpox for life 2.
As the incidence of smallpox increased in North America during the s, inoculation or variolation, as the procedure had come to be known against the virus became more widely used 2. Two of the most well-known proponents of variolation were Rev.
Cotton Mather and Dr. Mather and Boylston performed and promoted the procedure among the citizens of New England, beginning in 1.
However, despite the success and popularity of the procedure, there were well-founded concerns about safety, due to the number of people who developed not only smallpox, but other blood-borne diseases including syphilis and tuberculosis as a result of undergoing variolation 2.
In the late s, a young English physician named Edward Jenner began experimenting with using cowpox virus to inoculate humans against smallpox 8. Jenner not only shared his knowledge through published literature, he also shared the vaccine itself, giving samples to other physicians and anyone else who requested it.
After introducing the vaccination in New England, professor Benjamin Waterhouse convinced Thomas Jefferson to try the vaccination in Virginia.
The first mandatory vaccination law in the United States was enacted in in Massachusetts, giving the government the power to enforce mandatory vaccination or quarantine in the event of a disease smallpox outbreak that posed a threat to the public health Throughout most of the s vaccination against smallpox in the United States was voluntary, though coercion was often used to convince citizens to receive the procedure.
To achieve this goal, Emery was granted the power to mandate vaccination and enforce quarantines for anyone who refused. The number of health department employees responsible for delivering vaccines e. However, according to reports published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper cited in Colgrove,as time went on, it became increasingly common for families to be quarantined without cause, even in the absence of any identified cases of infection.
Proprietors who failed to comply with the mandate were threatened with loss of licensure 6. Colgrove also notes that the effects of the depression most likely contributed to the zeal with which the vaccinators pursued their prey, as the administrators of the smallpox vaccine were paid thirty cents for each person they vaccinated.
In addition, there were frequent allegations that the vaccinators falsified death records in an effort to cover up the fact that their zealous activities were resulting in death for a percentage of those citizens they were charged with protecting 6.
Despite multiple challenges from the Anti-Vaccination League during the s in Brooklyn, the conflict leading to the seminal legal ruling regarding compulsory vaccination did not begin until the winter of and it took place in Boston, Massachusetts. The case of Jacobson v.
At trial, Jacobson presented evidence that vaccination was dangerous and frequently caused serious injury or death, and that he himself had been harmed by vaccination as a child.
Mandatory Vaccination as a Condition of School Attendance Many states had laws on the books regarding compulsory vaccination against smallpox as a prerequisite for school enrollment, beginning in the early 19th century The first recorded mandate in the U.
However, the laws were not widely enforced or challenged until the smallpox epidemic of 6. In a lawsuit was filed against the principal of a public school in Brooklyn, seeking admittance of the two children of a physician, Charles Walters.
Walters was involved with the Anti-Vaccination League and his children had not been vaccinated against smallpox 6. Despite the fact that court rulings had generally been decided in favor of the civil rights of adults who had challenged mandatory vaccination 6the earliest cases involving school attendance were decided in favor of the state and local authorities.
In the case of Walters v. Constitution in doing so. Massachusetts case of The Great Republic: Presidents and States of the United States of America, and Comments on American History.
Taking everything together then, I declare that our city is the School [or "Education"] of Greece [, tês Helládos Paídeusis], and I declare that in my opinion each single one of our citizens, in all the manifold aspects of life, is able to show himself the rightful lord and owner of.

Stormy Daniel’s defamation suit against Donald J. Trump was rejected by a federal judge on Monday. In a first reaction, Trump went on twitter and called her »Horseface«.
Porn actress Stephanie Clifford and her lawyer Michael Avenatti had to suffer a setback in their legal pursuit to attack the current President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. The attempt to force the president to pay damages for one of his tweets has failed. Trump had doubted Clifford’s statements on Twitter when the actress published a sketch of the man who, according to her, threatened her on Trump’s behalf.
He wrote: »A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!«
While Trump did in fact accuse Stormy Daniels and her team of lying by labeling her statement as »con job« the court did not follow Avenatti’s assertion that the actress had been defamed by the president. According to the court, the tweet is protected by the freedom of expression. In his reasoning, Judge S. James Otero wrote: »The Court agrees with Mr Trump’s argument because the tweet in question constitutes ‘rhetorical hyperbole’ normally associated with politics and public discourse in the United States. The First Amendment protects this type of rhetorical statement.«
The court thus dismissed the complaint and ordered Stormy Daniels to pay the costs of the trial as well as Trump’s attorneys’ fees. This is a bitter financial blow for Clifford, especially as Trump had four attorneys on the case, which lasted for several months.
While the decision may hurt Stephanie Clifford financially, it should be pointed out that this court case did not say anything about the truth of the respective statements.
Michael Avenatti announced on Monday on Twitter that he wanted to challenge the court’s decision: »We will appeal the dismissal of the defamation cause of action and are confident in a reversal,” Avenatti said in a statement after the ruling. There is something really rich in Trump relying on the First Amendment to justify defaming a woman.«
Another trial between Clifford and Trump is still pending. It deals with the question of whether the non-disclosure agreement of 2016 between Trump and Clifford was legally binding at all. The actress and her lawyer Michael Avenatti are trying to have the so-called NDA declared invalid. Should this trial be detrimental to Stormy Daniels, Trump could theoretically take action against her violation of the confidentiality agreement.
Meanwhile, the president rejoices publicly on Twitter, as usual unsupervised, over his supposed milestone victory. Without wasting much time, he switches back to attack mode and insults the actress as »Horseface«: »Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!« Apparently the president is still deeply hurt by the detailed description of his penis in Stormy Daniels’ new book: »Full Disclosure«. In the book she compares Trump’s genitals with the »Mushroom from Supermario«. | <urn:uuid:b919e57d-88fe-4d9e-b26d-4c7cc5b11d0e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://venus-adult-news.com/en/adult-interest/legal/stormy-loses-in-court-trump-calls-her-horseface/ | 2020-09-26T09:32:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.965523 | 685 |

Do you know if your state license regulates the services you may provide via telehealth or tele-audiology? Do you know what telehealth is? Telehealth is the concept of providing healthcare services remotely via technology such as high-speed internet, webcam, and smart phone. This technology is evolving rapidly and becoming a part of daily audiology practice today. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) utilizes clinical video telehealth to provide real-time video appointments between audiologists and veteran patients at remote clinical sites. Beyond the VHA telehealth program there are now various hearing aid manufacturers providing remote programming options for their devices. This will allow the audiologist to make programming adjustments through an app on the patient’s phone. What this means is that tele-audiology is closer to becoming a daily part of your practice than you may realize. Does your license support it?
In September of 2017 the State of Illinois passed a new version of the Speech Pathology and Audiology Practice Act which became effective January 1, 2018. These changes are thanks in part to the advocacy efforts of the Illinois Academy of Audiology. Among many improvements to the licenses of Illinois audiologists this act included provisions allowing an audiologist to provide services through telehealth modalities. The practice act specifies that the practice of audiology may be conducted with video conferencing. It further explains that the use of telephone, email, messaging, and store and forward technology should be used in conjunction with or supplementing the use of video conferencing. Additionally, this act regulates that an audiologist outside of Illinois but providing services to a patient in Illinois is subject to the rules and regulations of this act.
On the federal level the Medicare Telehealth Parity Act (H.R. 2550) has been introduced and identifies audiologists as eligible providers of telehealth services for Medicare patients. As it currently stands an audiologist is not reimbursed by Medicare for telehealth related services. Within the VHA a new rule has been proposed which will allow providers employed by the VHA to provide telehealth services (including tele-audiology) anywhere in the country regardless of the location of provider and patient. There is also companion legislation to this rule (S.925) which has passed the Senate and is now in consideration with the House which allows VHA providers to practice across state lines, via telehealth, without restriction by individual states.
As advancements in telehealth continue and telehealth becomes more widely adopted by health care providers, it is important that audiologists understand licensure requirements and our scope of practice in the state or states in which we practice. If you are unsure about your license consult your practice act and read it thoroughly. Contact your state audiology licensure board or look for resources from within your state association if you have questions or concerns about your specific situation. | <urn:uuid:982a6a00-08b9-4cdd-b097-ee4ff5bdd309> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.audiologynow.org/telehealth-and-licensure | 2020-09-26T09:12:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.957316 | 572 |

These hardtack biscuits were not for strict vegetarians.
Talk about a specialty occupation.
Sandy Levins never much liked crafts, or cooking, and she has no formal art
training. But she does love history, which is how she sort of fell into
her career in deception. She is the go-to woman for historically researched fake food, which is made of clay, plaster or papier-mache.
She created the hardtack biscuits shown above, which nourished soldiers during the Civil War, with a real 19th-Century dough cutter.
Her living room is filled with racks of fake meat.
She makes her faux food for museums and historic sites:
Her work has gotten around. She made faux fish in mustard sauce for Mount Vernon, George Washington’s estate on the Potomac. That is also where the smoked-meat models hanging in her living room will end up. Monticello has some of her hams, Independence National Historical Park’s Deshler-Morris House in Germantown got chickens and cucumbers. For Manhattan’s Lower East Side Tenement Museum, she created pickled pig’s feet with latex molds she made using real pig’s feet.
Awaiting shipment for a Civil War-era exhibit at Arkansas’s Fort Smith National Historic Park are salt pork, hardtack biscuits, and, for that extra touch of reality, maggots. The curator asked for them.
You can see the maggots in the first photo. Although hardtack contained only flour, water and salt, the biscuits were not always strictly vegetarian. That’s why soldiers called the biscuits "worm castles".

*There’s a changing sign down the hill and around the corner from my house. It is a part of a school, but to make it less easy for you to judge it, I won’t mention its name. Each week I have grown to look forward to the message they ceremoniously place on the board each Monday. The author of the quote is never revealed. They must feel the exact way I do about giving too much information.
Homo sapiens. We’re an interesting bunch.
Anyway, one week the sign read “If it’s important to you, you will find a way. If it’s not, you will find an excuse.”
I knew the time would come when that quote would be useful to me. It’s now, as I repeat the headline question: Would you ever take serious action to help end racism?
Now I’m no fool. It’s a complicated, multi-leveled, systematic, centuries-old thing, racism. I realize that. But humor me as you put your comments in the box below; because I’m one of those people who actually believes (and have witnessed) change happen one person at a time.
What started this whole thinking process? Daryl Davis. He reminds me of myself: Curious as hell when something so ludicrous presents itself to me. As opposed to just automatically judging it, before I eliminate it entirely and move on, I try to figure out where the hell it came from. What was the logic behind it? Did the person think of what will happen next (obviously Roseanne Barr didn’t)? If so, what did that look like in their mind? Continue reading →
*Should I be worried? I’m probably not the only credentialed Black press asking this question. Let’s just hope that calling the cops on workers like me won’t become a trend. After all, credentials didn’t help Arturo Holmes, an African American photojournalist covering the 2018 Preakness Stakes — a horse racing event – in Baltimore last Saturday. Apparently he made a white person nervous and the cops were called.
But before I go any further, hats off to his colleague; photojournalist, J. M. Giordano, a white man, for not only standing up in the face of this racist action, but calling it his last time providing coverage at the event
My last Preakness. Ima finish my assignment, but I just witnessed a young, black photog @ARTugraphiq discriminated against in the press box. He had the proper credentials and was extremely polite asking where he could shoot. His drivers license was demanded and the cops called.
*A teacher at MacWilliams Middle School in Fayetteville has been suspended (with pay) after a parent said he grabbed her son, a 7th grader, by the arm, threw accusations at him, and called him the N-word. The parent went to the school board to issue a complaint before calling ABC11 to give details of the incident.
ABC correspondent Morgan Norwood spoke to the parent who wanted her face to remain anonymous, but have her words be heard loud and clear.
“From my understanding he walked up to my son, grabbed him by his arm and told him he wanted to ‘Smash his head into a brick,’ said the mother calmly, but with a clear undercut of emotion in her voice. She continues, “…and called him the N-word. He told him that ‘It’s people like him that kept him from doing his job.'”
*Let’s just cut to the chase and call her the Black BBQ Stalker! Maybe she thought no one would recognize her if she kept her shades on. Or better yet, maybe she didn’t think at all. She should’ve known better, yes? The woman who quickly became the laughing stock of the Internet after wasting the time of an entire police department by keeping them on the phone for two hours, and then having them show up to Oakland’s Lake Merritt because Black people were having a BBQ in the public park–whew!–has been identified.
Allegedly, she is Dr. Jennifer Schulte, and she is somehow connected with the elite Stanford University. No doubt anyone with the title “doctor” is feeling a slight shutter right now.
This Dr. Schulte, recently deleted the LinkedIn page that identified her as a ?Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) focused in Chemical Engineering from Stanford.”
Therein may lie the only connection to the school.
I agree with NewsOne who wrote: “Sounds like Stanford should have taught her some lessons in humanity.” But folks are still speculating she may have a current connection with the school (They too must be shuttering). Is she faculty? And if so, they are demanding that she be fired.
I hope you won’t judge me too harshly for not giving a damn enough to research it, I only spend that kind of time on people I seriously want to know about.
*With 1,120,706 views to date, a video of a white woman so incensed by the act of Black folks having a BBQ at Lake Merritt in Oakland that she spent 2 hours on the phone with the police proves a lot of people are shaking their damn head too.
The video, there are several — but this one rests at nearly 25 minutes, takes us into the demented brain of a woman who obviously needs something more to do with her life. In a rant based on her belief that “no charcoal grilling is allowed in the park,” it is her adamant stance on same that goes so far as to not only call the police on the folks who are grilling and minding their own business; but she actually takes up the time of whoever is on the other end of the line listening to her disoriented babbling… that slowly grows to near hysteria as time goes on.
As you will see, this gives a whole new look to a sense of entitlement and of course, when questioned, she says it “has nothing to do with race.”
How tired of this response to #livingwhileblack behavior are we, again?
*“I’m glad I’m taping this. He’s not supposed to be doing that. He’s not supposed to be putting his hands on him,” says a female bystander watching and recording a white officer as he chokes a young Black man before throwing him to the ground. From the sound of her voice she may be white. From the sense of her humanity, she appears to be disgusted.
From the frequency of these incidents alone, police officers don’t give one damn whether they are being filmed or not. They obviously feel free to let the Adrenalin of their anger and rage against Black people reign free and unbridled.
In other words, they don’t giving a flying F*** because they know their actions will ultimately be excused.
This incident reportedly came about in front of a waffle house. The young man, Anthony Wall, had taken his 16-year-old sister out for a bite following prom. He reportedly got into an argument with the restaurant employees, police were called, and that, he tells ABC11, is when things got ugly. Continue reading →
*A Grand Jury has indicted a South Carolina man who tried to hire a hitman to murder his African American neighbor.
Brandon Cory Lecroy, 25, of Hodges, was arrested in April after he contacted a white supremacist group and began a conversation that ended up making arrangements to get the job done.
He had no idea he was negotiating the deed with an undercover FBI agent, according to what authorities say in federal court docs.
On Tuesday, Lecroy was indicted on federal charges of soliciting someone to commit a violent crime, and using interstate commerce facilities — in this case, a cellphone — in the alleged scheme, the US Attorney’s Office in Greenville says.
No one knows why Lecroy wanted his neighbor dead, but then again, has anyone ever met a racist that could string two sentences together to form a cohesive thought? Continue reading →
*According to a UCLA?s Civil Rights Project report, as of 2014 schools in New York City remain the most segregated schools of all. And here we were thinking such schools were in the south. Silly us. Anyway, the Department of Education is making moves to change that. They want to close the gap, lessen the divide, ensure that students who are on the low end of the education spectrum get the support they need to improve their chances at success. So they plan to ?give students who score below grade level priority access to 25 percent of seats at each of the district?s 18 middle schools starting with next year?s application process.
Sounds great right?
Not to the parents of children who have been enjoying a lifetime of privilege. Think: No melanin included. Not to say these same children are not worthy just because they have been provided the resources to make their lives easier. Not even to assume they are not busting their butts to keep those grades up. Just to acknowledge that their parents are making it clear they don’t want that privilege to be, how shall we say, “compromised” in any way.
At a meeting on the proposed DOE plan, these no-melanin parents didn’t hold back. They were mad as hell; throwing hypothesis and analogies around like birdseed.

By Kendall Fisher, executive producer at Grow Wire
It’s officially 2020, and while a new year always encourages new resolutions, there’s no better time for a fresh start than a new decade.
Many of us have kicked off the (roaring) ‘20s with a revamped health and fitness routine, including better eating habits, more self-care and, of course, some new workouts.
But before you go all in on a new gym membership or a package of cycling classes, let us introduce Rise Nation.
For starters, Rise Nation is the brainchild of Jason Walsh, a Hollywood-based fitness expert who’s trained the likes of Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Matt Damon, Jennifer Aniston and Brie Larson…to name a few!
After several of his clients came to him with injuries from various workouts and group classes, Walsh realized something was missing in the fitness industry: A safe and effective science-based workout for strength and cardio.
Cue his idea for Rise Nation, a 30-minute music-focused versaclimber class using a machine called “The Climber.” Essentially, The Climber imitates the movement of scaling a mountain with little impact, and even more scientific, it’s the same concept as crawling, bringing people back to the full-body, natural motion we first learned as babies.
Sounds like a brilliant concept, right? Indeed, it is…but a great idea doesn’t always make for an easy business—something Walsh had to learn the hard way.
Watch this three-part series to see how Jason Walsh carried Rise Nation through some big business challenges, cultivated a following from people like Jennifer Aniston, LeBron James and Mark Cuban, and eventually expanded nationwide. | <urn:uuid:757427b5-98f8-4de0-beba-fa2a33103af5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.growwire.com/rise-nation | 2020-09-26T08:29:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.942441 | 364 |
Manatee County school principal suspended for not isolating after COVID-19 exposure
The principal of Kinnan Elementary School in Manatee County has been placed on administrative leave for not adhering to the district's COVID-19 policy.
Principal Paul Hockenbury was tested for the virus on Aug. 12, after possibly being exposed the prior week. He continued coming to work while he awaited the test results. School was not yet in session, but teachers had reported the week before for two weeks of training.
He found out on Aug. 16 that he had tested positive for the virus days earlier.
He notified the school community of his situation in a weekly newsletter update, obtained by the Herald-Tribune.
"I came to work for two days after being tested for COVID after work on 8/12. I did not have symptoms but could have possibly been exposed the week prior," Hockenbury wrote. "... I was focused on school being ready to open and was shocked to receive a positive result on 8/16 as I still did not have any of the common symptoms associated with COVID."
District spokesman Mike Barber declined to comment on the situation except to confirm that Hockenbury had been suspended and that assistant principal Todd Blackmore was filling in.
The update from Hockenbury says his suspension is for this week.
"I apologize for my actions and should have obeyed district policy. I do not agree with my punishment," Hockenbury said in the newsletter. "I was told not to work the week of 8/24-28 and will not respond to any email, phone calls, or text messages next week."
An update to staff at Kinnan on Aug. 16 notified them that there had been a confirmed case on campus, leading to a "small number of direct exposures." The staff who had been exposed were sent home to isolate for 14 days.
All employees have to answer a daily questionnaire, asking if they have any symptoms or have been exposed to the virus.
The district is requiring staff who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 to isolate for 14 days, and anyone who has a positive test must isolate for at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms and may not return until they have been symptom free for at least 24 hours.
The policy does not forbid anyone from coming to school if they have received a COVID-19 test, but anyone who got the test due to a direct exposure from a positive patient must isolate for 14 days, regardless of the test results.
"We don’t want people who believe that they may have COVID to get a test then come to work or come to school," Barber said.
Hockenbury could not be reached for comment. | <urn:uuid:bf46fdbd-e641-4722-ad90-a5500ef58538> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/education/2020/08/27/manatee-principal-returned-work-after-covid-19-test-suspended/5642450002/ | 2020-09-26T08:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.985263 | 570 |

New Urban Arts is a nationally recognized interdisciplinary arts studio for high school students and emerging artists in Providence, Rhode Island.
Our mission is to build a vital community that empowers young people as artists and leaders to develop a creative practice they can sustain throughout their lives. We provide studio, exhibition space, and mentoring for young artists who explore the visual, performing, and literary arts through yearlong free out-of-school programs.
Over the past 20 years, New Urban Arts has served over 2,000 Providence teens and 175 artists. In our free afterschool and summer programs, youth bond with a diverse group of peers and artist mentors while exploring a variety of artistic media. Mentorship at New Urban Arts stresses collaboration and youth leadership; mentors teach skills and provide support so students can achieve goals they set themselves. Our programs help youth who are underrepresented in the arts find their voices, learn the power of collaboration, and develop a creative practice they can sustain throughout their lives. Currently, over 450 students from over 10 Providence high schools participate in our programs. More than 78% qualify for free or reduced lunch based on federal guidelines, and over half live in communities where the family poverty rate is three times the national rate. Despite these challenges, over 90% find New Urban Arts a safe environment where they develop confidence, build strong relationships with mentors and improve as artists.
Our record of service has attracted national attention. In November 2009, at a White House Ceremony, First Lady Michelle Obama presented New Urban Arts a Coming Up Taller award, the nation's highest honor for the field of out-of-school time arts and humanities programs, particularly those that reach underserved children and youth. | <urn:uuid:4332fa70-f10d-4782-8986-3878730df4bd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.idealist.org/en/nonprofit/f7735bc73ec0480c8cc9d5f8fe9eea34-new-urban-arts-providence | 2020-09-26T08:06:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.948343 | 342 |
(KDRTV) – There have been a lot of questions following ODM leader Raila Odinga’s change on his stand on the third basis revenue formula. Raila, who had issued a statement last week asking Senators to vote for the adoption of the controversial formula, now wants the house to come up with a win-win formula that will ensure no county loses funds.
The third revenue basis wants counties to receive funds based on their population a move that will see at least 18 devolved units lose money to more populated counties. Coastal and North Eastern counties, regions that have been marginalised see independence, would have been the most affected.
This is why Raila’s support for the formula was interpreted as him betraying the regions which have supported his presidential ambitions in recent times. ODM has four governors in the Coast, all of whom would have lost funds in the new formula. Last week, coastal leaders released a statement accusing Raila of betraying them at a time when they needed him most. They said the former Prime Minister is only interested in the BBI report and not the interests of their people.
It is on the backdrop of this grand-standing that the African Union envoy asked Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho to organize a meeting with his colleagues. The meeting was held at Joho’s Vipingo Ridge residence over the weekend. Apart from the six Governors, Senate Minority leader James Orengo and former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth also attended.
A source revealed to KDRTV that baba received a briefing from all the Governors on why the region was against the formula. In the meeting which lasted for three hours, the leaders agreed that the best scenario should be to ask for a win-win formula which would ensure no county loses funds.
Raila, in an interview with Daily Nation on Tuesday, said the new formula should be shelved until devolved units receive more funds from the National Government. | <urn:uuid:a5fe13ac-0557-4bed-82c7-c64a7461c171> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.kdrtv.co.ke/news/details-of-railas-secret-meeting-with-coast-governors/ | 2020-09-26T08:35:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979344 | 399 |

Columbia University's Low Memorial Library. (Image source: Wally Gobetz/Flickr)
Should a man who claims to "understand" why people are anti-Semitic be invited to speak at Columbia University? Someone who wrote an opinion piece so dogmatic and bigoted that it was posted on the website of Hamas's military wing, and who recommended an essay by known Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy?
Surely at a time when "student safety" is of primary concern, one of America's most prestigious universities would shun such a divisive figure. Yet, Columbia's Center for Palestine Studies proudly hosted author and journalist this spring to discuss his latest book, Cracks In The Wall: Beyond Apartheid Palestine/Israel.
White is notorious for obfuscating the line between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. He frequently uses classic anti-Semitic tropes when discussing the conflict, often replacing the word "Jews" with "Israel." His talk at Columbia, moderated by former PLO official, CPS co-director, and Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies Rashid Khalidi, who, according to the New York Observer, is "comfortable and secure in his anti-Semitism," was no exception.
White proudly reiterated his belief in a one-state solution, by which the only Jewish majority state in the world would be replaced by the fifty-first Muslim majority state. "I make the case for a single democratic state for Jewish Israelis and Palestinians," he proclaimed.
It sounds harmless enough, but White does not consider how a Jewish minority would fare in such a state, given the historical and current persecution of minorities in many Muslim countries and the fact that there is no Palestinian political entity remotely interested in pluralism. (Right now in the Palestinian territories, selling land to Jews is punishable by death.) Advocating for a binational state lays the groundwork for yet another ethnic cleansing of Jews from the territory they have lived in continually for 3,300 years.
White summarized his book by naming the "three cracks in the wall" that currently undermine "Israel's ability to maintain an apartheid state." These are: "Factures and division that are visible now" within the Jewish-American community; "the end of the bipartisan era of support for Israel"; and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
By his own admission, White acknowledged that BDS is not interested in peace. The movement, he noted, has been "intelligently designed to disrupt and critique a quite suffocating peace process discourse."
As for his assertions of Israeli "apartheid," the reality in South Africa was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination whereby, under law, blacks were stripped of their voting rights, banned from serving in government, and segregated from whites in virtually every facet of life.
Given that none of this can be said about Arabs in Israel, arguing that Israel practices apartheid redefines the term and makes a mockery of the suffering blacks endured under South African apartheid.
"The right of self-determination does not equal a right to your own ethnic state," White continued. He then accused Israeli authorities of "discrimination, displacement," and "brutality."
Clearly, White ignores the fact that Arabs receive more rights in Israel than in neighboring Arab countries, which is why poll after poll reveals that the majority would rather live in Israel than in an Arab country, and even in a future state of "Palestine."
Revealing his willful ignorance of demographics and territorial history, White described Israel as administering a "de facto single apartheid state in all of historic Palestine." "Historic Palestine" is not a distinct entity with defined and enduring borders. It has been ruled by different groups at different times, each of which applied different borders to the region. According to the British, Historic Palestine included Jordan and parts of Syria. Does White believe Jordan should abdicate sovereignty and become a Palestinian state? In addition, White disregards Israel's unilateral disengagement and evacuation of all Jewish soldiers and civilians from Gaza in 2005.
Just as traditional anti-Semites demonize and ascribe conspiratorial power to the Jewish community, White believes Israel secretly controls and manipulates Western media and the U.S. government. He smeared Israeli-Jews as "privileged" and referred to them as "settler-colonialists," instead of as refugees who experienced severe persecution and whose families were expelled from the land, but who finally returned home, fulfilling their daily prayers of "Next year in Jerusalem." He ignored that 52 percent of Jews in Israel are of Middle eastern descent, meaning their families did not migrate to Israel from Europe.
Addressing accusations of bigotry, White claimed that "the response to being a Palestinian and speaking up for your own people's rights" has been a "smear of anti-Semitism."
Absent from his argument was the daily hate education and anti-Semitism fed to children in the West Bank and Gaza, where state-run media, television, school textbooks, and mosques frequently deny the Holocaust, glorify Hitler, preach violence against Jews, and characterize them as "apes and pigs."
Similarly, White ignores the Hamas charter, which does not merely call for Palestinian rights, but in chapter seven declares its genocidal ambition of eliminating all world Jewry. If this does not meet the standard of antisemitism for White, one has to wonder what would. Accordingly, towards the end of the lecture, moderator Rashid Khalidi went so far as to bemoan the "myth of anti-Semitism."
In denying Jewish peoplehood, erasing Jewish heritage, and denigrating the Jewish civil rights movement, Columbia University is living up to its reputation as one of America's most anti-Semitic campuses.
Sacrificing detail and nuance for ideology and polemics, Middle East studies departments throughout the United States are increasingly alienating their Jewish students. Portraying the Arab-Israeli conflict as a zero-sum game between Palestinian-Arabs and Israelis disregards historical complexities and ignores the roles of many neighboring countries and international organizations that have shaped the conflict and perpetuated the stateless status of Palestinians. Such misinformation only contributes to an already divisive and intolerant climate on college campuses. | <urn:uuid:8ec338c0-340f-4a76-b006-fd6f6d21348c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/58547/columbia-university-hosts-journalist-who-can | 2020-09-26T08:39:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960582 | 1,272 |
This footage shows a woman being escorted off an easyJet plane after she had become "disruptive" when tackled about drinking her own alcohol, airline bosses said.
Flight EZY7124 from Liverpool to Alicante was forced to make an emergency landing in Bordeaux over the incident.
It came after the woman had apparently sneaked booze onto the plane and refused to put a lid on it, the Liverpool Echo reported.
One witness told how a "commotion" then unfolded before the pilot announced he was diverting the flight.
Police in Bordeaux airport boarded the plane and approached the woman, the video filmed by a passenger shows, before they escorted her off the aircraft.
Those on board were forced to wait for more than two hours before they could continue their journey to the UK.
A passenger on the flight told how the drama unfolded, the Birmingham Mail reported.
Catherine Skelhorn, 68, said: “I was going asleep when I heard the captain say were were making a emergency landing.- I jumped up when I heard that.
“There was a lot of commotion near the front as the crew were speaking to a women, when we landed the police came on the plane, they tried to speak to her but took her off and put her in a police car.
“They found an empty bottle under her seat.
“She was a small blonde woman, there were several rumours flying round but I’m not sure what to believe.”
Another passenger, who only wants to be known as Tony, said: “We saw the police getting on the plane and going over to the woman.
“When we were told the flight would be making an emergency landing we presumed someone had taken ill on board.
“She could have put us in danger behaving like that on a plane.”
A spokesman for easyJet said: “easyJet can confirm that flight EZY7124 from Alicante to Liverpool diverted to Bordeaux due to a passenger on board behaving disruptively.
“The safety and welfare of our passengers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority. easyJet’s crew are trained to assess and evaluate all incidents.
“Whilst such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour on board and always push for prosecution.
“Police met the aircraft on landing and the passenger was escorted from the aircraft.
"The aircraft has since continued to Liverpool and we would like to apologise to all passengers for any inconvenience caused by the delay.” | <urn:uuid:bd2257fa-9655-4ac5-92b0-03e5ee9f03f5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/moment-police-escorting-disruptive-easyjet-11634495 | 2020-09-26T10:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.98494 | 539 |
Numbers Don’t Lie
As far back as I can remember, I’ve been a numbers guy. Every time a new political policy emerges, or a business situation needs to be digested, I go to the numbers. I tend not to trust most of what I hear or read in the news. I always, ask, “Do the numbers back up the rhetoric?”
Death is Scary
If I told you that an epidemic in our country would cost the citizens in our country roughly 650,000 deaths in a single year, what should we do about it? What if another epidemic resulted in the loss of 170,000 lives? Still another cost us 600,000 lives?
Let’s give a little more context to these numbers. The 650,000 is the amount of deaths caused by heart disease in 2019. 170,000 were deaths in 2019 from accidents. The 600,000 were deaths from cancer in 2019. In total, 2,813,503 Americans died in 2019.
Sadly, death is inevitable. If you don’t die from a heart attack, you may die from cancer, or a car accident, or a bad case of the flu. While, death is inevitable, we’ve done our best to extend the length and quality of life as much as we possibly can. In 1950, the average life expectancy of a U.S. citizen was 68 years old and as of 2019, it is 78 years old.
As you started reading this blog post, you probably guessed where I was going with all of this. In the U.S., the projected death rate of COVID-19 deaths is 60,000. While the CDC has, to date, confirmed 21,050 of 47,500 COVID-19 deaths, I’ll give the news reporting agencies the benefit of the doubt at 60,000.
The 60,000 COVID-19 deaths is comparable to the 55,700 deaths recorded in the 2018-19 flu season.
Let’s dig into this 60,000 number a little deeper. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 80% of these deaths were people over the age of 65-years old. Over 70% of these elderly deaths were people over the average life-expectancy age of 78-years old.
Many of the elderly who got infected resided in nursing homes or their own homes where stay-at-home orders have no effect.
Most workers in the U.S. are between the ages of 18 and 65. If you’re in this age class, you have a 0.35% chance of dying this year. You have a 0.03% chance of dying from COVID-19. Incidentally, this is same odds you have of getting struck by lightning in your lifetime. If you are over the age of 65, you have a 4.5% change of dying this year, and a 0.42% chance of dying from COVID-19.
Lives are More Important than Money
If you’ve managed to read this far, you’re probably saying, “Jeff, saving human life is much more important than money.” This argument bothers me and here’s why.
What most mean when they say this is that “survival” is more important than “living”. If this is true, we should not have an economy at all. Did you know that we can save more lives by permanently shutting down the entire economy? That’s right. It’s a proven fact that the overall mortality rate (at least temporarily) goes down during recessions.
When you don’t drive to work, you won’t get in a fatal car accident. If you don’t work, you won’t have a work-related accident that could kill you. If you stop working, you’ll have less stress which will improve your chances against fatal ailments like cancer and heart disease. If you have no money, you won’t buy sugary drinks or candy; or the cigarettes or alcohol that are ultimately fatal. You won’t have money to buy harmful drugs or go hang-gliding or whatever other unsafe things you can do.
You can stay at home, collect your government check, and binge-watch Ozark, or Breaking Bad. Or you can eat Cheetos and drink beer… and watching CNN or FoxNews for the latest update on COVID-19 deaths… Or, YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE.
Life vs Surviving
Us humans were not made to simply survive… We were designed to LIVE LIFE. If you’re afraid of dying, you'll most likely NEVER LIVE. As I shared with you at the first part of this blog, there are all sorts of ways that you can die. Frankly, COVID-19 is the least your worries. And, if you're one who is waiting for a vaccine for COVID-19 before you walk outside your front door, it may help you to know that the 55,700 flu deaths reported in the 2018-19 flu season happened when a flu vaccine was fully available to all.
The Small Business Owner
As a small business coach, I am especially concerned about our small business owners. It is my experience that small business owners have a penchant for life and are slightly exhilarated by taking calculated risks. Because of this, small business owners will be especially discouraged in our current situation.
Our federal government joined most state governments in closing most activity in the economy except for government, healthcare, grocery, big-box stores, trucking, and online retailers.
While these select industries will do well in this shut down, most small businesses and their owners will struggle. There are five common losses that most small business owners will experience with this shutdown:
Loss of Customers
This is probably the obvious one, but it’s also one of the biggest impacts. Different industries are experiencing different impacts on their revenue from the shutdowns. Most retailers, restaurant owners, massage therapists, salons, and others who directly serve their customers are experiencing the biggest hit.
Loss of Employees
If you’ve ever owned a business, you know how hard it is to find good employees. Now, the government is forcing you to lay them off, and pay them not to work. This causes havoc with healthcare benefits, retirement programs and basic salary. Not to mention getting them back to work when you reopen your business.
Loss of Sanity
If you want government grants or low interest loans, you first must walk through the gauntlet of paperwork, applications, and discussions with life-long bureaucrats. Even then, you may not get the financial relief you’ve been promised. This means you spend countless hours that no one pays you for to chase down a small stipend that you most likely will have to pay back with interest. If you get it at all.
Loss of Momentum
This is the biggest loss of all. As a small business owner, you tweak and you try different marketing tactics, you navigate government regulations, processes and procedures and you work hard to get your company to make a profit. Just as you get your act together, the rug gets pulled out from under your feet. Not only are you immediately short on cash, zealous government officials tell you, it could be several months before you can re-open your business. With all this uncertainty, it’s nearly impossible to plan for success. Even if the government graciously allows you to do business, your customers are so scared, you’ll be luck to get back to normal within the next few years, if you last that long.
Loss to Large Competitors
Ironically, or not, the companies that have not shut down are the big-box stores, large grocery store chains and gigantic online retailers. It’s hard enough for the local merchants to compete with these behemoths, and the government just made it much harder by selectively allowing large merchants to open while small merchants must close.
What Should We Do?
We are Americans… and we DO have a choice. You can encourage your leaders to force every citizen into obedience, and dramatically expand government spending in the hopes that it will curtail the affects of a new virus; or you can decide to live life on your own terms.
I never thought I would say this, but I envy what Sweden has done. They have decided to continue living while they educate the public on the nature of the COVID-19 virus. Yes, people are dying of COVID-19 in Sweden, particularly in their elderly population. However, their small business economy is continuing, and their economy will spring back to life quickly.
I think that the elderly and those with at risk immune systems should voluntarily stay at home, wear masks, or do whatever they feel necessary to protect themselves. The healthy who can be carriers of this virus should intentionally avoid infecting these vulnerable in our population.
Death & Taxes
Benjamin Franklin was prophetic when he claimed, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.” If we continue down our current path of business shutdowns, death will be delayed slightly for those living in their sunset years and income tax rates will surely grow for the rest of us.
What if instead, we all get back to the passion of making life worth living once again!

Every once in a while, an herbal remedy works so well that even the most skeptical experts sit up and take notice. Such has been the case with elderberry (Sambucus nigra). From ancient times, people have used elderberry for the immune system. This plant has a long history of traditional use backed by solid scientific evidence. With its abundant phytochemicals, many experts consider it a superfood.
Richard K., a Wisconsin-based pharmacist who specializes in integrative healing, has witnessed the wonders of elderberry many times over the years. “I grew up on a farm, and my mom would always give us homemade elderberry syrup at the first sign of sniffles,” Richard explains.
So he wasn’t surprised when, as a pharmacist, he started seeing lots of studies showing a link between elderberry extract and immune health. “I’ve recommended elderberry syrup to countless patients during cold and flu season, and they always come back and thank me!”
What exactly is elderberry? How was it used in the past, and how is it being used today? What is the connection between elderberries and the immune system? Let’s take a closer look at the many health benefits of the incredible elderberry fruit.
What Is Elderberry?
The European elder tree is native to Europe, as well as parts of Asia and northern Africa. The use of this plant to make herbal remedies dates back to the fifth century B.C. when the famous Greek physician Hippocrates wrote about using the elder plant.
American elderberry — also called the elder tree — is a close relative of the European elderberry, is native to eastern and central North America. The shrub produces clusters of dark purple berries. A single bunch can contain as many as 2,000 elderberries!
American elderberry was traditionally used by Native Americans for fever, rheumatism, and other conditions. Ancient Egyptians used elderberry for wounds and to improve their skin health and complexion. Many called it, “the medicine chest of the country people,” because there was so much folklore associating it with enhanced vigor and longevity.
Because of these nutrients, the elderberry boasts potent antioxidant properties. You can find elderberry supplements in the form of liquid extracts, juice, syrup, and gummies, all designed to support a healthy immune system.
How Can Elderberry Benefit Your Immune System?
A robust immune system is a must for staying healthy all year long. When your immune system is functioning optimally, you’re better able to maintain wellness. Elderberry can activate the immune system as it responds to illness. When you have a strong immune response, it eases symptoms and helps you get past health challenges more quickly. That way, you feel better sooner.
Here are some elderberry benefits for immune health.
Elderberry for Seasonal Wellness
If you’ve ever been sidelined by a nasty bug, you know how being sick can absolutely wipe you out. Whether you have a fever, body aches, fatigue, or a runny nose, stuffy head, sore throat, or cough, you just want to feel better as quickly as possible! When you feel like you’ve got a bug, it's hard to function. That’s why a healthy immune system is so important.
Natural remedies, including elderberry, support a healthy immune response so you’re more likely to stay healthy in the first place. Taking elderberry syrup may give your immune system a boost to relieve symptoms more rapidly. Some experts have seen it work especially well when taken within 48 hours of the first symptoms of feeling ill.
Elderberry for Respiratory Symptoms
The respiratory system involves the lungs and the arteries and veins that carry oxygen throughout your body. When you’re dealing with an illness that affects the respiratory system, it affects your ability to breathe and you may find yourself struggling to keep your symptoms under control. Supplementing with elderberry can enhance a healthy immune system’s response to some respiratory conditions, helping to reduce symptoms. Elderberry may shorten the amount of time you experience respiratory symptoms, and it’s a safe and cost-effective treatment option.

What Are the Best Elderberry Sources?
Elderberry can be prepared and consumed in a variety of ways. Here are the best elderberry sources.
You’ll find American elderberry plants growing as far north as Nova Scotia, Canada, south to Florida, and west to Texas and Manitoba, Canada. Elderberry shrubs grow in the wild, but you should always get your elderberries from a verified source unless you’re an expert at identifying plants.
Raw, uncooked or unprocessed berries and flowers from this tree contain toxins called cyanogenic glycosides, and you should not consume them in this natural state. They also contain lectins, which can upset the stomach if you consume too much.
Elderberry syrup is one of the most popular ways to reap the immune-supporting benefits of elderberry. The berries are naturally sweet, and this syrup is tasty and easy to prepare! Here’s a basic recipe.
You can make this recipe with fresh or dried elderberries. Cooking the elderberries makes them safe to consume. The dosage is ½ to 1 teaspoon for kids, and ½ to 1 tablespoon for adults.
- Large saucepan or pot
- Sterilized glass jar
- 4 cups fresh elderberries (or 2 cups dried)
- 4 cups distilled water
- 2 teaspoons dried ginger root
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup raw honey
- Combine berries, spices, and water in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 35 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 1 hour.
- Line funnel with cheesecloth and pour the mixture through to strain.
- Add honey to the remaining liquid and stir.
- Pour syrup into a jar and store it in the refrigerator.
- Take syrup two times daily to support seasonal wellness.
You can get elderberry supplements in many forms, including elderberry lozenges, elderberry gummies, and elderberry liquid extracts. You can also purchase standardized elderberry syrup if you don’t wish to make your own. Elderberry is safe enough for children, although those under one year shouldn’t take syrup made with honey. You can also find elderberry in immune system supplements that combine the best immune-boosting ingredients.

Among herbal remedies, elderberry is one of the most well-known and best-researched. Even the most skeptical experts have noted the effects of elderberries on the immune system. Both European and American elderberry has a long history of traditional use backed by a large body of scientific evidence.
Elderberry benefits the immune system in a variety of ways. It can help with health challenges during the winter months, as well as respiratory issues. Elderberry works by strengthening the immune response to alleviate symptoms and help you feel better faster.
Some of the best sources of elderberry are processed (not raw) berries, elderberry syrup, and supplements like liquid extracts and gummies. Elderberry is safe enough to be used by children.
Have you used elderberry for immune system health? We’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments!

Do you think we should make a plan to control plastic waste before it's too late?
In the current pandemic of Covid-19, plastic based things like PPE kit, wrapping material, sample collection material etc. have helped us a lot. It was not possible to maintain sanitization without plastic. But, it can be a big problem in the post corona world. We'll have to deal with abundance of plastic based when corona is over. Do you think we should make a plan before it's too late?
- Yes, it will definately be a big problem.
- It won't be a big problem for us.
- Something else?

Went to Swill last night, this cool little wine bar in Downtown. An interesting concept at Swill as all of the wines are on tap. Yes, on tap! All the wine bottles are lined up on the wall and a very fancy wine tap machine allows you to serve yourself. It takes away the wine aficionado behind the bar and allows you to explore yourself.
Our friend, Marc of SESO, celebrated his birthday and what was supposed to be one glass turned into more.

we has been getting rings with this no. numerous times daily & soon as we picked up these people just hanged up. we wanna recognise who was phoning us.
I don't believe this is a legit number, I recieved a call from it on my brand new work number that Citi does not have. There is no way they could have got this nuymber or any reason for them to call it.
Same as above--nice pics, says she's been using site for weeks and had friend who had bad experience so just needs me to go there to verify my age.
It was from 818-813-4909. They call constantly; I never pick up since I don't know the number. Whoever it is is certainly persistent, and I'm sick of it.
I recieved a call from this number saying my card has been deactivated and I want to report these people.

Female with the name 'Dave' [?] ended up leaving VM on picking up machine for some contest [imaginary?] . stated this is not a cold ring & not on 'don't call' directory cos we got entered a contest. . person calling ID: unidentified NAME. . Watch out for phishing con. dont give 'em *any* info or engage with them. Thieves do not follow the 'no call' rules. . these people just attempt to steal with people.
we got a ring on our mobile phone for someone we do not know. . we just recalled the 1-866-591-5174 about 50 times soon after that & is looking for different name that we invented on every ring till these people notice & ask us to stop. we subsequently just assk 'em not to ring our mobile telephone again & these people never ever did!
exactly what the ????. This was a collection company hired by Citizens Bank to intimidate ppl who are late payers.
I recieved a call from the same. Called back and got the same. A message was left saying this is Walter from Balboa Company and the reason I was calling is my co.....then the message cuts out.
I received a call from this number. I silenced the ring and when I checked my messages there was nothing. I thought it might be a wrong number, but when I checked here I see that other people searched for it as well.
We got a letter claiming to have won a DE-LOTTO Switzerland Sweepstakes & a check from Citi Financial for $4,989.00 in U.S. dollars.
This no. rang us on 7/11 & 7/12/13. we didnt answer. No msg ended up leaving on our ans machine. We are on the national do Not ring directory.
I keep getting calls from this number everyday, and what is more anouying is that it's a fax, so keep getting faxes on my ear at least 3-4 times a day. This is a business dental office, please take us off this listing 650-299-1480 is the number on file.
Text message received regarding $100 Walmart gift card.    Says to call 877-861-8581.    I have no idea what website or how contact was made.
They stated they were a law office stating they were going to put me in jail and they were going to take me to court and they did an asset seach into my life and were mean about it. I laughed and to them to ****off.

we had a ring about four hours ago on our mobile telephone -- no message. no. was out of Atlanta, GA, however no listing details avail.
we believe you are right about that vehicle warranty scam, these people ended up leaving us a vm about some thing just like that.
7 calls tonite alone. Call center from the Philippines. They said they are from Mexico...I know the accent because I am Filipino myself. please file a complaint here. https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2
I have had enough unsolicited/unwanted text messages from you. Please stop. You are not funny just annoying.
got a bill from tmobile today for an extra $52.15 that had this number and also 6492321111. Called tmobile and found out that there is already over $60 on next months bill. They wont do much about it either.
Got this call too. Claimed he was responding to a 'request' from us to call, which is an outright lie because we always block telemarketers, report them, or tell them not to call. He kept asking for personal information about our home, which I refused and when I asked him to identify himself, he hung up.
You all realize the reason you're probably getting this huge increase in junk telemarketer calls is because Facebook is selling your personal information to these jerks, right? Don't post your main e-mail or home phone number on your Facebook accounts -- they'll just pass it on to the highest bidder.
I don't know who this is but they are calling me every day.and never leave any messages.some times they said they are calling about switching the electric company.however I explain to a person who called that time not interested in their business .but this number wont stop calling me .Please Please stop them from calling me again ?Thank You So Much.
had the identical ring. we missed this though. as always, when these people ask for any details do not give this. | <urn:uuid:96f040b0-65a5-4695-9408-9bf71c93685c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.reportcalls.net/listing/201-622.html | 2020-09-26T08:01:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400238038.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926071311-20200926101311-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.964251 | 1,479 |
