- Unit testing allows the programmer to refractor the code or upgrade the system libraries at a later date and make sure the module still works correctly.
- Unit tests detect changes that may break a design contract.
Let’s discuss test driven development in detail. TDD means do not write any production code without writing failing test cases against it.
Next in order to fix the design if you further needs to refractor your code, then check if all your test cases are passing and further refractor your code as per your design. Keeps this process repeating again and again until you achieve the desired out come.
Also while writing the unit test cases we should follow the Arrange, Act & Assert principle. Basically in arrange part we will aggregate some data and in Act part we call the method on system under test. In Assert part we will assert the value return by the system under test and check if the return value is correct or not.
With this we can write our test cases in Given When & Then Fashion. So we can say unit testing is a need of the hour in production applications. Maximum IT companies are looking for software engineers who know how to write unit tests and do Test Driven Development.

The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 1.4 is now available.
This release represents 20 months of development effort and over 16,000 individual changes. The main highlights are the new DIB graphics engine, a redesigned audio stack, and full support for bidirectional text and character shaping.
It also contains a lot of improvements across the board, as well as support for many new applications, notably Microsoft Office 2010. See the release notes below for a summary of the major changes.
This release is dedicated to the memory of Gé (Greg) van Geldorp, who passed away in May 2011. Greg single-handedly designed, built, and maintained the Wine Testbot, which has become a cornerstone of our development process. The high quality of this release owes a lot to his work. He is greatly missed by us all. | <urn:uuid:7a3b46b6-c356-4328-a723-b30b5ba58e94> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.winehq.org/news/2012030701 | 2022-01-21T02:00:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302715.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121010736-20220121040736-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.96744 | 180 |
Can Libya’s New Interim Government Break the Impasse?
16 Feb 2021 09:52 PM
Libya’s new Government of National Unity (GNU) faces big administrative hurdles and a limited mandate.
On 5 February, the UN-assembled Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) appointed a new interim government. Intended to see the country through until elections scheduled for 24 December 2021, the appointment of the Government of National Unity (GNU) ostensibly breaks the political deadlock of the past 5 years. But what can the GNU achieve? And how should the international community respond?
A limited mandate and low expectations
February 2021 conjures images of the same period in 2016, when the unity government produced by UN-mediated talks, the Government of National Accord (GNA), was unable to overcome the institutional divides that had emerged in 2014. And now, 5 years later, it appears that the speaker of the House of Representatives’ eastern faction, Agila Saleh, is setting conditions for the recognition of the GNU that are highly unlikely to be met.
Like the GNA before it, the GNU has a very limited mandate. Firstly, it was appointed by a total of only 39 votes. Secondly, the candidates selected to head the GNU, Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dabaiba and the president of the presidential council, Mohamed Mnefi, appear to have been chosen in order to prevent the selection of the current interior minister, Fathi Bashagha, and Agila Saleh. This reflects the fact that the process itself was geared towards a power sharing formula rather than based on the development of a policy platform or political reconciliation.
The coalition of forces that pushed Dabaiba and Mnefi over the line at the LPDF includes uneasy bedfellows from across the political spectrum. For spoilers of the political process, such as Khalifa Haftar, whose forces had sought to topple the GNA through an assault on Tripoli, the existence of another weak government may be a good outcome.

I would recommend Equipped To Go without hesitation as an outstanding resource. They have excellent skills in the areas of training, logistics, strategy and communication!
As a leader of short-term teams, and a missionary preparing to be commissioned, the Team Leader Training was such a wonderful and informational course. The tips and techniques learned during the course will help our church improve our process and become more efficient. This will allow more focus on preparing emotionally and spiritually for trips.
Debbie’s tips on how to develop the proper mindset for missions is proving to be invaluable. With the help we received from Equipped To Go, we are moving forward, with greater confidence. Without hesitation, I would recommend Debbie and Equipped To Go to anyone planning mission activities outside the continental U.S.
Debbie’s wisdom, insight, and experience were invaluable to our team in helping us see some of our previous mistakes and how we can avoid making any new ones in the future. Trust us, you can learn something from Debbie’s ability to articulate how we can all be safer as we GO. ~Safety and Security Training
Your church’s global impact will take leaps forward by engaging Debbie’s help to develop your program and train your leaders.
Equipped To Go provides guidance and gives understanding to short-term mission teams. Dealing with everything from culture sensitivity to crisis management our teams are better prepared to serve God on the mission field.
Equipped To Go has been a valuable asset to us in the growth and development of our Congregational Trips Department. With 50+ teams being sent out annually, we needed a training platform to train and equip our team leaders, and Equipped To Go provided just that! | <urn:uuid:37849ce8-6943-4d8e-955d-3c3d59a78090> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://equippedtogo.org/ | 2022-01-22T11:55:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.948395 | 353 |

Let's chat about spring cleaning the living room!
Our living room is pretty massive but fortunately the living room is a pretty easy place to spring clean.
Here's what I did to accomplish a clean living room (can you see exactly where I was sitting right before I took this picture? Totally forgot to move the pillows back into place before I took the picture!)
The first thing I did was start by doing any dusting that needed to be done. Since we live on planet Earth and deal with gravity it's always best to work from top to bottom. I dusted my pictures, all the furniture, and moved around everything in order to get everything wiped down.
I vacuumed the couch, folded all the blankets and rearranged the pillows.
I don't have the ability to get my windows washed on the outside being on the top floor of an apartment but I make sure that the inside is squeaky clean. This is a great time to also wipe down your blinds and wash your curtains.
Decluttering is also important. I regularly go through these baskets and keep the clutter in this room to a minimum.
Our living room also serves as a mudroom for us. This is where we take off our coats and shoes when we get home. I put all the heavy coats away in our front hall closet and pulled all my boots off our shoe mat and brought them to my closet for the summer.
Once everything had been dusted, cleaned and decluttered I did a thorough vacuum job of the entire room. This is a great time to move furniture and vacuum behind and underneath everything.

"Binatone MD 1500 clear winner in Europe-wide DECT survey"
Binatone's Micro DECT MD 1500 cordless took first place by a wide margin in the
Europe-wide survey of DECT phones carried out by 'Connect' March issue, one of
Germany's leading hi-technology magazines.
This innovative DECT telephone is packed with features such as
caller display, built-in speakerphone and multi-functional backlit 2 line LCD.
Nevertheless, the MD1500 was the second lowest priced unit in the test field.
The Connect review judged the MD1500 'a wonder device with
excellent performance', and singled out for praise:
- 'The organised caller display which stores information on
the last 30 calls.'
- 'The 40 name and number phonebook and 10 last number redial.'
- 'The exceptional performance of more than 250hrs standby and 36 hrs talk
- 'Blue wonder: A trendy self illuminated display in this price category is
not self evident.'
The Binatone MD1500 is available in single, twin and triple
packs with interchangeable coloured fascia's.
Exceptional sales performance
This latest Binatone triumph comes on top of exceptional recent UK sales
figures. Last quarter (2001) figures from GfK, the leading European Market
Research company, showed Binatone UK sales at No.2 overall position in analogue
and digital telephony.
Dino Lalvani, Binatone Group Sales and Marketing Director commented on this
latest news, "I am delighted that Binatone took No. 2 position overall at
this busy time of year. I believe our investment in design and technological
innovation struck a chord in the marketplace. In digital, our MICRO DECT mobile
lookalike, complete with a host of features and available at an exceptionally
competitive price, has enabled the consumer to buy into this new technology and
is giving the landline a much-needed boost.
"DECT by value has now overtaken analogue, and our
introduction of new, entry level DECT, will help expand the digital market over
the coming year. These latest figures from GfK endorse our strategy."
GfK's latest figures also show that the fastest growing category by far is DECT
multipack sales. Binatone was the first company to introduce multipacks over
three years ago, and the company's innovative DECT range includes twins, triples
and even quads, with the advantage of only one telephone socket required to run
the whole system.

Corbin really wanted to get into trapping this year. I bought a few Dogproof traps and a few 110's for mink and muskrat. Our line is rather small but it is located in a pretty good area. He was really discouraged the past week and a half as all of our traps have been coming up empty. A few had been robbed but we had no animals for our efforts. One day I did a little scouting up stream from where our first traps were. I found a log crossing a stream with a pretty well used trail going to it. Looking at the other side I had assumed that raccoons or another animal that climbed were using the downed log as a bridge. The tree that fell ended up getting stuck in another tree so I don't believe that fox or coyotes are using the bridge. I plan on setting up a camera on crossing to confirm my hypothesis. I had a lot of confidence in this set but just hoped Corbin could be patient enough to wait it out.
I've been getting up early and checking the line before work. I left enough time so I could go home and get Corbin if we had something in our traps. He is only 7 so I don't want to get him up super early and out in the cold for nothing. When he is a little older he can learn the commitment and check tracks with me every day.
Thanksgiving morning I took a ride on the mountain until it got light. I took my fishing rod with me to try to catch a fish or two to help with my sets. It took me a little longer to get to the traps, but was a nice change of pace from just checking empty or robbed traps. All of our water sets were empty. I checked the box trap I have set up for a mink. The previous evening I had put a creek chub in the back of trap. Something had pulled the chub through the hole and ate some of the head and tail, but did not commit to going inside of the trap. I think it is a weasel or a mink. I have plans for catching this mystery robber but that is for another post.
After checking the mink trap, I walked up the bank and saw that the one DP was untouched, but the other had the cap nocked off. This trap had been robbed two days in a row. This DP contained Corbin's home made raccoon bait consisting of Berry Captain Crunch, Blueberry Cheerios, Strawberry Rice Crispies, Small Marshmallows, mixed in a near empty jar of peanut butter. The twins taste tested his concoction and and approved.
I soon came to the realization that we had our first Raccoon in one of our traps. Boy I was pumped. I was excited to get my first catch as a trapper, and even more excited that my helpers home made bait lured the raccoon to a trap. This raccoon was a big female with beautiful colors. I was elated, but was even more excited to check the spot I had scouted two days before.
With my held high I went back to my Jeep to go and check the other spot. I walked down to the log crossing only to find that I had a double. I was very optimistic going out this morning as we had a wind storm on Wednesday going into Thursday. I guess that was just what we needed. I was blessed to have two more big raccoons on our line. One was a super dark and gorgeous female and the other was a lighter colored male. WOW!!! I can't really put into words how blessed I felt. I just had my first catch, and now had a double. I keep thinking back to the saying "If it's good enough for one trap then it is good enough for two..." That saying is why I decided to put two DP's on the crossing and it paid off for me.
I have always wanted to get into trapping, and this year was the year I was going to jump in head first. I only have a few traps, and limited time but I was going to give it everything I had, and Corbin was too. We are both all in. He was quite discouraged after our first week or so did not produce. I mean our luck was low. So low in fact that I even had a raccoon climb a tree on the other side of the stream about 10 yards from our traps on a morning check. I could have easily shot the raccoon, but really wanted Corbin to get one in one of our sets.
We were very blessed this Thanksgiving. I could not have asked for a better outcome for our first catches. Three large raccoons can put a big smile on a discouraged little boys face. It was tough keeping his moral boosted. I had to laugh when he said, "Dad, Robby Gilbert catches something every time he goes out!" I had to explain to him the Robby doesn't show how many traps don't get touched, and the Robby still probably has a few traps get robbed also. He can only put his successful traps on his show.
I am happy that both of us picked the spots together and Corbin even made the bait on our first catch. He helped in every aspect of these catches. He can't wait until he is 12 and can officially be a trapper in Pennsylvania. We are learning this together and having a blast. I think that trapping is something that both of us will do together for years to come. Corbin was so excited to take his raccoons home to show his sisters and explain how he set up the traps with me. The twins are super excited every time I come home in the morning from checking traps. Maybe next year they can come in the woods with us to check traps. They like sampling Corbin's raccoon bait, and are going to try to make their own in the next week or so.
After a few hero shots we went in for Thanksgiving dinner and skinned the Raccoons later that night. Corbin's Uncle John gave him a pocket knife that day, and Corbin was pumped to get to learn how to use it later that night when he go to skin his raccoons.
We have the raccoons skinned and I have some of them mildly fleshed. I will be freezing them until I get the right tools for fleshing and tanning. Corbin wants to make a quiver for his recurve bow out of the biggest Raccoon. I am going to do a trapper display tan on the really dark one, and will also be making a quiver out of the lighter one.
We are going to give canines a try now, and hoping to catch fox mainly. I will be picking up a few traps here and there to put out a few canine sets. Corbin and the twins are addicted to watching trapping videos and learning. He's a big fan of Robby Gilbert and Trapping Time TV. It is awesome to hear Corbin's breakdowns on why we should put a trap here, and how he thinks the animals are working the area.
Trapping is an awesome way to introduce kids into the outdoors. There are a lot of things that trapping will teach them about animal movement, animal tracks, and all sorts of other areas of the outdoors that they may never be exposed to with hunting alone. I feel very blessed this Thanksgiving, and hearing Corbin say this was The Best Thanksgiving EVER!! only made it better. | <urn:uuid:406e8e1b-7bb2-44ab-87c3-1c7ac8c13de5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.fullcircleoutdoorlifestyle.com/2019/11/thanksgiving-raccoons-first-catches-for.html | 2022-01-22T12:49:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.990819 | 1,533 |

Manchester United have reportedly shortlisted the Atletico Madrid central-defender Stefan Savic, as The Red Devils’ search for defenders continues.
According to the recent report by Jonas Griaever, Atletico Madrid centre-back Stefan Savic could be on his way to English giants Manchester United, as The Red Devils’ plot to strengthen their defensive region continues.
The 30-years-old is certainly on Manchester United’s radar due to the player’s rich reputation, and the Montenegrin international’s arrival would allow Ole Gunnar Solskjaer flexibility to consider different options in the backline for the next season.
According to my knowledge, Stefan Savic of Atlético Madrid is on the short list of defenders Manchester United look at for the summer. You would imagine he is one of several they consider at this stage. But keep an eye on Savic and United🔴⚫️ #MUFC #Atleti
— Jonas Giæver (@CheGiaevara) February 11, 2021
Stefan Savic joined Atletico Madrid back in 2015 from Fiorentina, as the player’s sturdy perseverance in Viola colours had caught the eyes of Los Indios boss Diego Simeone. In the next six years, Savic has managed to establish his authority with Atletico Madrid in a discerning manner, and due to such reason, the Argentine manager has always considered him as one of those inevitable figures in the defensive zone.
The Montenegrin international has done a commendable job as part of the Atleti backline and with 185 appearances across all competitions, the centre-back crafted a name for himself in La Liga.
Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been contemplating various options, as the Manchester United manager needs to be precise on his task to resolve the issues in the backline. The Red Devils have been thoroughly studying the transfer market.
In spite of an impressive venture in their Premier League campaign, indecisiveness has often haunted The Red Devils. Manchester United have also shortlisted Tyrone Mings of Aston Villa in their next summer transfer hunt.
Speaking of advancement, despite a supine commencement to this campaign, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co. have been thriving towards their task to reestablish their long lost authority. However, Manchester United’s curiosity does define the sheer ebullition of their scheme ahead of the summer transfer window, and with another option, Ole could minutely observe the scenarios.
The Norwegian manager is definitely aware of the fact that the defensive fragility would hamper their chances in those crucial spaces of the season, and as the circumstances reflect, a long-term addition remains the priority at the back. | <urn:uuid:bf3bcb94-e1eb-4a7c-8fbf-a3cbe2d95bfd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.thehardtackle.com/news/2021/02/14/transfer-news-stefan-savic-on-manchester-united-radar/ | 2022-01-22T12:16:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.95315 | 563 |

While we waited for our friends, we ordered the deep fried brussel sprouts and some cocktails.
I had mussels, and Dave had the oysters for our appetizers. Then he had the bison burger and I had the fried chicken. Our friends each had the Xmas burger (turkey, cranberry, dressing, etc.). E had the mac and cheese with cauliflower (one of the many items on the extensive kids' menu).
Great food, and very welcoming atmosphere. We will be back, and likely for brunch next time.
If I never see another bag of leaves, it will be too soon. This weekend, since the snow was cleared away, we decided to tackle the backyard and rake the leaves. On Sunday morning, Dave and E brought all of the leaves together in a huge pile, and when I got home from church (and home from three different stores looking for leaf bags), I helped bag the heavy, dirty, wet, but surprisingly not stinky, leaves. We did 25 bags, and the back yard is
We also got our outside Christmas lights up on Saturday (pictures to come), and we met some neighbours. They brought us a Christmas arrangement for our porch (pine boughs, pinecones, etc.), which was so sweet of them.

Knowing an author colours your reflections on any book. Perhaps that’s why it’s best to keep a distance from writers you may have the opportunity of knowing: the separation between the writer as a personality and the writer as a creator becomes blurred, and your engagement with the text and the story becomes weighted with the baggage of familiarity.
That’s a principle I couldn’t abide by when my father, Omar Khan, wrote his memoir, Sawdust Castles. It was an inevitability that I would read it. I was part of the process, in a sense, giving him advice, acting as a sounding board for ideas as he navigated his own personal history for the vignettes that would form that arc of his story. I hadn’t read it in its entirety once it was completed, only snippets and anecdotes, parts that would make the whole as my father needed another eye during the writing and editing process. Once completed, I thought reading the memoir through from its beginning to the end would have been a mere recapitulation of the snippets of text I had read, or the conversations I had during this process.
This wasn’t the case when it came to diving into the story of my father’s early life. The immersion into the narrative all readers feel when absorbed in a book became a strange experience for me. I was pulled into seeing “Omar Khan” the character not as my father or even as an author so much as a boy in a hostile world, suffering from loneliness, witnessing and being the victim of considerable violence, but also finding joys in small pleasures: glimpses of young girls on parade, experiencing the camaraderie of school mates, feeling the ecstasy of religious fervour at Sufi shrines.
To say that I had learned something new about my father after finishing his memoir would only be partially true. Many episodes I read were certainly new. Some of those individual stories were harrowing explorations into parts of my father’s life that were understandably kept hidden (the incidents involving the policeman and my father’s schizophrenic cousin Yasub being particularly arresting). Other passages were familiar the way family legends become part of your own personal lore. More than anything, however, reading my father’s memoir was a fascinating experience in literary possession. “Omar Khan” the character became an avatar for my own childhood, my experience of childhood isolation, my longing for a better way of living, the particularities of those feelings that I had thought so specific to my childhood and early adulthood reflected in my father’s life.
“I am naive enough to read incessantly because I cannot, on my own, get to know enough people profoundly enough,” says Harold Bloom. Reading Sawdust Castles has left me with more than a profound understanding of my father. It has left me with the realization that our parent’s lives are more than artifacts of our familial history, that the variations of their lives echo in our own. Sawdust Castles, my father’s story, has, in a very personal and unique way, become my own.
Sawdust Castles is available on Amazon.ca.

A TRIP TO FLORENCE… OREGON
Have you ever played that game where you take a map, close your eyes and point with your finger somewhere on it? When I was a kid I did that and dreamt that one day I will live on that places or at least I will visit it. At the end of November – the Thanksgiving weekend in USA – we did that with the map of Oregon and went to explore the South part of Oregon.
The idea started as a joke but turned out very well, because we wanted to explore something unknown and different. Most people relate Oregon with Portland and its beautiful north coastline – so here we are, road trip to… Florence, Oregon and the vicinity.
I don’t need to tell you how beautiful this place was – wide beaches, driftwoods and amazing coastline. The most impressive for me were the beaches where people just go to watch the sunset sitting on a sand dune. The driftwood thrown out by the ocean created different installations and forms.
And when you turn around from the beach – here comes the forest. The choices that the nature offers in Oregon is just fascinating. | <urn:uuid:bb85e78e-e149-42b7-83dd-5ed9e4c8869c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://79ideas.org/2016/03/a-travel-to-florence-oregon.html | 2022-01-22T12:32:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.964481 | 241 |

The weakening of democratic structures and the rise of technocratic governance are regularly cited as some of the most troubling consequences of the Eurozone crisis. Cathrine Holst assesses whether modern society’s dependence on expertise ensures that we must now redefine what democracy means. Presenting arguments in favour of a democratically tempered form of ‘epistocracy’, or expert rule, she asks whether traditional ideas of ‘rule by the people’ may be outdated or even dangerous in a world that is in urgent need of decisions based on knowledge.
The EU has taken unprecedented administrative and legal measures to address threats of terror, environmental challenges, and, most recently, the euro crisis. Critics claim that the Union’s way of managing risks and crises contributes to pushing the EU further towards technocracy and “rule of the few” – and further away from democracy as we know it. Others regard current developments as necessary and in the end promising. What is required from the EU, not least in times of crises, is resolute and knowledge-based decision-making, and procedures that optimize efficiency and rationality, even if this implies redefining what democracy means.
The heart of this debate is normative: the protagonists have different, more or less ambitious ideas of what democracy requires and different ideas of what constitutes legitimate political rule. However, normative position-taking and interpretations of facts are intertwined. The different approaches to democracy and political legitimacy are intimately linked to different notions of the strength and character of our expertise-dependence in the age of globalization – or of “the fact of expertise”.
It is well known that discussions of political ideals and norms must take into account certain “general facts about human society” and about modern society in particular, to quote political philosopher John Rawls. Many would probably agree with Rawls when he says that a theory of justice with relevance for modern societies must recognize among other things “the basic fact of pluralism”. Normative theorists cannot go about assuming that people of modern pluralist societies would ever come to share “comprehensive doctrines”.
The question is whether we must also include a basic fact of expertise alongside “the basic fact of pluralism” and other basic facts normative political theory must recognize. Should we not regard modern, globalized societies’ dependence on scientific and professional expertise as in the end inevitable and thus a “general fact” in Rawls’s sense? If so, must we not also let this fact be reflected in our normative ideas of legitimate political rule? Some would simply say no. They do not deny, of course, that globalization requires institutional adaption, but normatively speaking, legitimacy and democracy must mean what it used to mean.
A counter-argument would run like this: To deal with the new risks and hazards, the best available expertise must be mobilized and given the decision-making power needed, even if by doing so we are challenging familiar ideas of democracy and legitimacy. Globalization introduces new and exceptional interdependencies. Greece’s budgetary deficit affects not only Greece, but people and businesses all over Europe; local responses to health and environmental risks somewhere in Europe may end up affecting all of us; inadequate anti-terror measures in one country can cause terror in any other.
And stakes are high. A European economic crisis could become world-wide and reduce growth, employment and welfare everywhere; terrorism is a threat to human life and security; environmental disasters could in the end undermine the material conditions for human existence. If more power to the experts can help save the planet, the economy, health, security and other basic goods – why not embrace it? Why worry so much about democracy, and the EU’s democratic deficit in particular – if there indeed is such a deficit – if the moves that are made, basically and in the long run, are in the interest of all and something all reasonable persons would subscribe to if they had the insight and knowledge to make informed choices? Why stick to traditional ideas of “rule of the people” that may be irrelevant and even dangerous in a world that is in urgent need of decisions based on our best knowledge? What’s wrong with replacing democracy as we know it with a democratically tempered variant of what political philosopher David Estlund refers to as “epistocracy” – a “rule of the knowers”?
This argument may turn out to be totally misguided. However, a robust defence of more ambitious ideas of democracy cannot simply assume that this is the case. My contention is that ambitious democrats criticizing technocracy, juridification and elitism, in the EU and elsewhere, tend to underestimate what they are up against. Instead of concentrating on scrutinizing, and to the extent possible refuting, the strongest arguments of their opponents, their answer is, all too often, general democratic pathos and appeal to undisputable basic moral intuitions that, however, can be given a wide range of interpretations, also epistocratic ones. Moreover, democratic critics tend to underplay their own de facto acceptance of a large set of expertise arrangements. Most of them would in the end support the idea that political decisions should be democratic, but also knowledge-based and arrangements that privilege expertise for the sake of guaranteeing a certain decision quality. Their worry is that scientific and professional expertise is given “too much” scope, not that privileging expertise at all takes place. But what is “too much”? Can there be “too little”? And how is this (bigger or smaller) concession to “the knowers” at all acceptable, given their own often rather radical assumptions and characterizations of what a “rule of the people” ought to mean?
The argument for epistocracy that I sketched above is a version of a realist argument with a long history inside and outside of philosophy. I think it deserves more attention than often assumed. However, there are other arguments as well. A challenging one, as far as I can see, are arguments for epistocracy that take as their point of departure the so-called epistemic justification of deliberative democracy. This branch of democrats argue that democracy should be deliberative – the ideal is citizens that make political decisions on the basis of reason-giving and argumentation – not only because this procedure is justified on its own merits, but because it also produces the most rational outcomes. This may be a good argument for deliberative democracy compared to other variants of democracy; it may very well be that democracies that are deliberative produce decisions that are epistemically superior to those produced by non-deliberative democracies. However, if epistemic quality is a central concern, the question arises whether democratic deliberation necessarily delivers better outcomes than less democratic forms of deliberation. What if elite discussions among the informed and knowledgeable more often produce decisions that are in the enlightened, long-term interest of everyone, than democratic deliberation?
Investigating this and other arguments for epistocracy can contribute to fundamental discussions in normative political theory. For instance, the realist argument touches upon the classical debate on how to understand the relationship between “is” and “ought” (what does a de facto expertise-dependence imply for how we conceptualize political ideals?). The epistemic argument that I have sketched touches upon familiar discussions on procedural versus outcome-oriented justifications of political rule. The investigation may also contribute to normative political theory of a more middle-range sort. Epistocratic arrangements may be more or less embedded in democratic mechanisms, occur at different stages in the policy-cycle, rely on different kinds of expertise, have more or less narrow tasks, etc. To be sure, the different arrangements’ normative legitimacy will depend crucially on their more detailed characteristics. I believe current discussions would profit from moving beyond general arguments “for” or “against” epistocracy, technocracy, elitism (and so on), towards more fine-grained and institutionally oriented analyses and assessments.
Finally, arguments for epistocracy rely decisively on empirical premises. For example, is it the case that globalization increases expertise-dependence? (i.e. the realist argument). And is it the case that expertise interaction is more rational and deliberative than interaction among “most people”? What is the empirical founding of assuming that less-than-democratic deliberation produces outcomes superior to the outcomes of democratic deliberations? Probably, not much is left of any argument for epistocracy without such a founding.
All of these issues form part of the EPISTO project, (Why not epistocracy? Political legitimacy and “the fact of expertise”), that will run from 2012 to 2017. Epistocratic arguments have been put forward at least since Plato proposed a radically undemocratic state ruled by philosopher kings. However, the focus of EPISTO will be on scrutinizing more recent epistocratic proposals that argue, more moderately, for a democratic epistocracy, meaning expert rule regulated by basic, but minimal democratic standards.

Fill in your credentials below.
Claude Monet’s monumental paintings of water lilies were fueled by grief, obsession, and the horrors of the Second World War.
The artist’s obsession with his garden at Giverny and in particular, his water garden, began in the late 1890s and continued almost unabated until his death in 1926 at the age of 86.
He had discovered the pretty village of Giverny in Normandy while on a train ride and had immediately determined to rent a house there where he moved with his family in 1883.
By then, Monet’s living arrangements were not just unusual, but highly unconventional. His eventual purchase of the house in Giverny had been partially financed from prior sales of some of his paintings to the art collector and critic Ernest Hoschedé.
Ernest Hoschedé was an extremely wealthy department store magnate in Paris, who had collected an impressive collection of Impressionist art including works by Degas, Pissarro and Sisley, but Monet had remained his favorite artist, and the two families soon became close friends. Monet was married to an already ailing Camille and had two sons, Jean and Michel. Hoschedé had a very attractive wife, Alice, and six children. Belgian-born Alice Raingo was also from a wealthy family, and as well as the couple owning the Chateau de Rottembourg at Montgeron, southeast of Paris, they owned a fine house in Paris at 64, Rue de Lisbonne in the eighth arrondissement.
By 1877, Hoschedé’s wildly extravagant lifestyle had lead to his bankruptcy and he lost everything, including his entire art collection that was auctioned off in 1878 for a fraction of its value. Hoschedé had even attempted to run off to Belgium to escape his debtors.
Monet was swift to offer support, and invited the Hoschedé family to move in with him and Camille and his two sons in Vétheuil and later into a bigger house in La Roche-Guyon. In the meantime, Hoschedé had found work at the newspaper Le Voltaire and was often in Paris, away from Alice.
After Camille died in 1879, the families continued to live together at Poissy and then finally at Giverny. And here, of course, is where the story gets murky. Art historians question whether at the least one, if not two, of Alice’s children were in fact Monet’s. There seems little doubt that Monet’s affair with Alice had been ongoing long before Hoschedé’s death in 1891.
Whatever the truth, Alice married Monet the following year in 1892 and both families remained conjoined in Giverny. (In another twist, Blanche Hoschedé Monet, Alice’s daughter, also an artist, was both the stepdaughter and daughter-in-law of Monet, having married Monet’s eldest son Jean.) It was both the death of Monet’s beloved Alice in 1911 and the death of Jean in 1914 that had spiraled Monet into the depths of despondency, despairing of the future, except for fueling a renewed desire to “undertake something on a grand scale.” Something to hold on to. Something to make life worth living.
The idea was not a new one; his obsession with water lilies paintings had began in 1897, and the completion of the water gardens and the Japanese bridge in 1899 began a passion that would endure for the next 30 years. Monet produced over 250 paintings of his water gardens and water lilies, but even earlier than 1914, the idea of monumental paintings was already germinating, when Monet had told Gustave Geffrey in 1908 that he wanted the theme of the water lilies, “carried along the walls.”
Controversy and protests had dogged Monet from the very beginning of his project to landscape his two-acre garden and build his water garden. Neighbors and the town council fought him every inch of the way, convinced that the exotic water lilies he had imported from Egypt and South America would poison the area’s water supply. (Monet had diverted the River Epte to create his water garden.) Monet had ignored all the protests, refusing to uproot his beloved water lilies, where they have remained for the last 130 years, the inspiration for some of the most famous paintings in the world today.
Monet painted all through the First World War; the gunfire only 50 miles away could be heard in Giverny, and the horrors and savagery of this most brutal of wars affected Monet deeply. His water landscapes became the entire focus of his life; he refused to slow down, despite the cataracts, diagnosed in 1912, weakening his eyesight.
He was beset nevertheless by doubts and loneliness and grief. He was now an old man; he feared the relevance of his works, feared that he’d been forgotten, eclipsed by the likes of Picasso and the new avant-garde artists, and his self confidence had been destroyed by art critics to such an extent that he aimed for an impossible perfection in his work, leading him to destroy many of his paintings in despair. He missed his erstwhile contemporaries Cézanne and Renoir, now dead, but fortuitously he had rediscovered an old, unexpected ally, who had stepped into the breach with constant encouragement and support.
The politician Georges Clemenceau.
Monet had first met Clemenceau in 1860 but they had lost touch. Then in 1908, Clemenceau bought a house in the nearby village of Bernouville. They renewed their friendship; Clemenceau possessed a keen interest in the arts and both were staunch republicans. After Monet declared his intention of bequeathing two panels to the nation to commemorate the end of the war, it was Clemenceau who encouraged Monet to expand his two intended panels into a whole decorative series.
In 1920 the gift became official. Paul Léon, director of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, signed an agreement for 12 panels to be installed according to Monet’s precise instructions. The contract was signed in April 1922, but Monet, ever dissatisfied and plagued with doubts, jettisoned still more paintings and kept the entire work with him in Giverny until his death in 1926.
Clemenceau wasted no time after Monet’s death and sprang into action, determined that Monet’s wishes be adhered to, and inaugurated the rooms in the Musée de l’Orangerie to house eight of the great panels side by side, exactly the way Monet and the architect Camille Lefevre had envisaged them. Although all the same height (1.97 meters), the panels differed in length, but followed the curves of the two egg-shaped rooms perfectly. Daylight flooding the room from above makes the paintings resonate according to the weather, exactly as they were painted -all 100 linear meters of them.
Monet’s vision had always been that the paintings side by side would create “the illusion of an endless whole, of water without horizon or bank.” He began to focus on the surface of the water itself, with the trees and sky only reflections, and in doing so, broke with the old perceptions of Impressionism, where the viewer has a fixed view point. Here in Monet’s Water Lilies, the viewer is instead immersed directly into a specific moment of time, immersed directly, into his water gardens.
Monet painted water lilies in all weathers, in every season, and at all times of the day, capturing the light at its strongest and the fading light at sunset. He built a studio for when the weather was simply too cold to paint outdoors, but when he embarked on his final opus, a bigger studio had to be built to contain the massive works of art. His work and use of color was inevitably affected by his cataracts, something his critics used against him when Water Lilies was first exhibited.
And it seemed in 1927 as if all Monet’s fears had been confirmed. Just a few short months after his death, with Water Lilies finally displayed in l’Orangerie, the critics panned them, and the public stayed away in droves. Impressionism and Monet were now old hat, discredited; Fauvism, Cubism, Dada and Surrealism had pushed the once revered artists into the long grass, and Monet, as he had feared for so long, was considered unimportant, a soon to be forgotten artist.
It took another astonishing 20 years and another World War before Monet was fully rediscovered by the outside world. In the years between, interest in Water Lilies was so minimal that the museum sometimes built walls in front of Monet’s work to display temporary exhibitions, obscuring Monet’s masterpieces completely.
It was the new modern art hall in New York in the 1950s that cast a more than interested glance in the direction of Monet, combined with André Masson’s article in 1952, comparing the Orangerie, as the Sistine Chapel of Impressionism, that had invoked a curiosity in private collectors and a demand to purchase paintings left in Monet’s studio. But it was only when MOMA in New York bought and displayed one of Monet’s great paintings in 1955 that interest in the artist and his work really took off. Americans visiting and living in Paris after the war saw Monet’s paintings with fresh eyes.
The revival was never to die. The Musée de l’Orangerie, housing Monet’s Water Lilies, receives 800,000 visitors a year. More than half a million enthusiasts walk through Monet’s house, untouched since his death, stroll through his beloved gardens and water gardens, and stand on his red Japanese bridge surveying his water lilies exactly as Monet did 100 years ago.
But they could never paint them like Monet did.

Have Your Say on the Future of Policing
To help formulate the new Police and Crime plan, Cumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Peter McCall has today launched a public consultation survey, asking people what they think the police’s priorities could be.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Peter McCall comments: “A large part of my role as Police and Crime Commissioner is to hear the views and concerns from residents of Cumbria and by completing this survey and sharing your views, you can help to influence the direction for policing in the county. Our focus is to fight crime and anti-social behaviour, support victims and bring offenders to justice through effective policing.
“I will use feedback from the public in this survey, policing knowledge from the Chief Constable linked to national policing priorities and involvement from the Police and Crime Panel, to set the policing priorities in the Police and Crime Plan 2021-2024.
“It will set out the policing objectives for the Constabulary for the next three years and show how I will work with partner agencies to keep Cumbria safe.
“I would like to encourage as many people as possible to take this opportunity and complete the survey.
“Only by letting me know what is happening in your community can the issues be addressed. The Plan focuses on ‘we not they’ and I am a great believer that we all need to work together to make Cumbria an even safer place.”

Normal Distribution In Probability theory and Statistics, the normal distribution or Gaussian Distribution is one of the most important and most studied s tudied concepts. Many theories and studies in Statistics are based upon Normal Distribution. Distribution. It is a continuous probability distribution that gives a good description of data which is centered in and around the mean. Normal distribution is well represented by the graph. It is bell-shaped, with the mean at its peak. The Gaussian Distribution is one of many things that is associated with Carl Friedrich Gauss, who used it to analyze astronomical data. The normal distribution is often used to describe, at least approximately, any variable that tends to be closer to the mean. For ex: e x: the height of adults in the United States is roughly normally distributed, with a mean height of 70-inches (1.8m). Most men height is close to the mean, though a small number of people whose height is above or below the mean. This can be said as generalization in normal terms.
Central limit theorem states that regardless of the distribution of the population, the distribution of the means of random samples approaches a normal distribution for a large sample size, under certain
conditions. The sum of a number of random variables with finite means and variances approaches a normal distribution as the variable increases. For this reason, normal d distribution istribution is commonly used throughout in statistics, natural science as a sample model for complex phenomena. Bell Curve characteristics
The bell curve has the following characteristics
Symmetrical Unimodal Extends to +/- infinity Area under the curve = 1
y y y y
Completely described by two parameters The normal distribution can be completely specified by two parameters:
Mean Standard deviation
Basic rules governing the normal distribution.
The rule is a quick estimate of the spread of the data given tthe he mean and standard deviation of data set that follows the normal distribution. The rule states that for a normal distribution
of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean
of the data falls within 2 standard deviation of the mean
all (99.7%) of the data falls within 3 standard deviation of the mean
It should be kept in mind that the above values are approximations. The concepts of normal distribution have practical application in business administration:
Modern portfolio theory commonly assumes that the returns of a diversified
asset portfolio follow the pattern of normal distribution.
ge nerally in normal In operations management, process variations are generally
In Human Resource Management, employee performance is sometimes is
considered as normally distributed. The normal distribution often is used to describe random r andom variables, especially those having symmetrical, unimodal distributions. In many cases however, the normal distribution is only a rough approximation of the actual distribution. For example, the physical length of a component cannot be negative, but normal d distribution istribution extends both positive and negative directions. Nonetheless, the resulting errors may be
negligible or within acceptable limits, allowing one to solve problems with sufficient accuracy by assuming a normal distribution. | <urn:uuid:2f079cc3-9d5b-425b-be9d-8e2b2bbd6625> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://docshare.tips/normal-distribution-assignment-help-help-with-assignment_58c5f901b6d87fa7418b5ee4.html?utm_source=docshare&utm_medium=sidebar&utm_campaign=5b5acfd908bbc5227e2a5b3a | 2022-01-22T12:13:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.914453 | 652 |
Guest post by Timothy “Dutch” Dwight, vice president of business development, Medullan, Inc.Timothy “Dutch” Dwight
Will today’s pioneer ACOs share the same demise as the HMOs of the 80s and 90s? It’s certainly starting to look that way.
Like HMOs, ACOs (Accountable Care Organizations) were created to reign in excessive fee-for-service arrangements and provide an incentive for capitating costs. The premise was that under the umbrella of an ACO, providers and payers would share in the responsibility for quality, cost and coordinated care for a defined population of patients.
If an ACO saved money for the payer without compromising quality, providers — defined as physician practices, hospitals, group practices, physician-hospital alliances and networks -–would share in the savings. And the savings were projected to be significant. Early forecasts from the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the 32 pioneer ACOs could save more than $1.1 billion in the first five years. On the other hand, if the ACO failed to meet capitation limits while providing care, the group shared in the losses.
To offset the risk and encourage membership, the early ACOs were supposed to receive multi-year compensation. However, that financial support disappeared after the first year and most provider groups did not have the business margins to carry them through a long-term investment approach. In addition, the ACO model requires a draw on scant resources from all parties to create another layer of program oversight – further cutting in to margin.
So where does the ACO model stand today? Nineteen of the 32 pioneer ACOs have left the program over the last two years, resulting in considerable wasted taxpayer dollars. As CMS moves towards the Next Generation program, can it succeed?
What will it take to save the ACO?
I believe ACOs can be saved, but significant changes must be enacted.
The fundamental problem with the pioneer ACO is that it manages the care of an unhealthy population without having sufficient oversight of that population. This leads a risk-adverse industry to hold their cash and cling to old processes.
Two years ago, Clayton Christensen rightly pointed out that the provider community must make major process and procedural changes in order for the ACO model to work. “No dent in costs is possible until the structure of healthcare is fundamentally changed.” I couldn’t agree more.
To survive, ACOs need to align with the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model, which is continuing to thrive and grow. PCMH is designed to align more holistic care management with a consumer incentive to prevent high-spend patients from seeking services from the more costly care centers such as emergency rooms. The payer, or insurance company, rewards the consumer for making smart choices by reducing deductibles and other fees if they use lower cost service centers such as primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and urgent care centers. PCMH models use a combination of fee-for-service, value based payments to providers and align consumer incentives to reduce the cost of care. Comparatively, the ACOs capitated, “value based” payment model, intends only to lower the cost of care without having the proper procedures, tools and feedback loops in place to account how that care is provided. In other words, a visit to a PCP or ER makes no difference in the ACO model. On their own, ACOs do not have enough process control(s) and sufficient incentives to change patient behavior.
However, in combining the ACOs and PCMH model, the healthcare industry stands a much greater likelihood of meeting its goals — to improve the quality of care while containing or lowering the costs.
What needs to happen?
It starts with patient education – consumers need to be educated about their options and when and how to best use them. The next step is employing financial incentives. In short, money talks and will be key in changing old habits. When there is financial reward for going to one’s PCP or an urgent care center instead of an ER, consumers will make smarter choices. And ACOs will have an easier time capitating costs. | <urn:uuid:86ad5824-6b51-4646-87b9-c29dcd1386e3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://electronichealthreporter.com/tag/timothy-dutch-dwight/ | 2022-01-22T11:26:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.950514 | 865 |

Firkušný 2021: A festival of debuts and returns
The Prague Spring presents the programme for the 9th edition of the Rudolf Firkušný Piano Festival, which will take place from 30 October to 9 November 2021 and offers five concerts given by superb pianists. “This year’s edition is all about debuts and returns,” says festival director Roman Bělor. “It seems almost incredible that the concert by Igor Levit will be the first ever performance this internationally celebrated musician has given in this country, and it will be only the second appearance for Arcadi Volodos in front of a Czech audience,” Bělor adds. The festival is also pleased to welcome the legendary Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires and French pianist David Fray, while the domestic music scene will be represented by Lukáš Vondráček. All the concerts will be held in the Dvořák Hall in Prague’s Rudolfinum; tickets are now on sale, available via this website. | <urn:uuid:c0b65735-794d-4372-b933-f49d37862597> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://firkusny.cz/en/firkusneho-festival-2021-ve-znameni-debutu-i-navratu/ | 2022-01-22T11:26:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.933484 | 228 |
Sometimes opening a combination safe that you own can be hard to open. There are two types of combination safe available out there in the market. One of them is a wheel lock one, and the other one is a digital combination safe.
If you forget the combination, you will not be able to open the safe, and you will have to find a locksmith to do the job for you. In this article, I will be discussing how to open a combination safe.
How to Open Combination Safes Without A Locksmith?
The following steps will help you understand how to open a combination safe properly.
First, you need to look for the combination from the paperwork or user manual. Most of the manufactures will provide your card with the combination on it. If you lose the card or forget the combination, you don’t need to worry about it. Many manufactures will give you the combination again. You just need to provide them with proof that you own the safe.
To open up a combination safe like a three-wheel, you need to rotate the wheel to the left passing the 1st number of the combination three times and stop on the 1st number. After completing the task, take a marker and mark the 1st number on the dialer.
In this step, you need to rotate the dialer to the right two times and pass the 2nd number of the combination, two times, then stop on the number. If you mistakenly pass the 2nd number more than 2 times, then you need to start over again. After completing the 2nd task, mark the number on the dialer.
Now rotate the dialer to the left, one time, and pass the 3rd number of the combination and stop. Mark the number on the dialer. Don’t rotate the wheel after passing the last number of the combination. If you accidentally move the number more than one time, you will have to start the process from the beginning.
Now slowly rotate the dialer to the right until the bolt retracts. You will hear safe unlocking when the dial stops and bolt retracts. Now you are good to go. If the safe doesn’t open after putting the combination, then you may have made a mistake. But don’t worry, you can try again as per the given instruction step by step.
After unlocking the safe, now pull the handle to open it. Many safes have a handle, turn the handle the way how you open it. If you don’t know, follow the manual. Remember, safe doors are pretty heavy, so open the door slowly. Keep the handle on how you open until you close the safe again.
Combination safes are very reliable to keep your things and important docs safe. However, it is also hard for a thief to open a combination safe. So you must keep your safe in a secret place and don’t share the combination code with others. | <urn:uuid:8b46d7ea-d275-4118-8822-ea302c0884be> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://getassist.net/how-to-open-combination-safes/ | 2022-01-22T12:25:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.926234 | 625 |

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” -African Proverb
This month’s Highlight is the epitome of team. The epitome of together. The epitome of to-do. The epitome of taking action! In his own words, he expresses, “I’m lucky enough to be on a team that puts our local community and charity at the forefront. Every month, we do a raffle drawing from a collection of our closed client’s favorite charities and the lucky winner receives a donation for every loan we close that month. Knowing that the hard work we put in not only helps our clients buy homes and save money, but also supports local charities, makes me very proud to be a part of this team. I’m even prouder to see these values reflected across HFG as a whole.” Homeowners Financial Group could not be prouder of our Highlight and what he brings to his team and to his community.
Scott Lindberg is a Licensed Mortgage Professional Assistant with the Lampson Team in our Santa Barbara, CA branch, celebrating his first Homieversary last month. Scott’s focus resonates on things outside of himself, as he asserts, “Everyone works together with a positive attitude to make it happen for our clients, our partners, and for each other.” Originating Branch Manager and the face of the Lampson Team, Austin Lampson describes the value Scott brings to the table, “Knowledgeable, patient, skilled and with a wicked sense of Dad humor, Scott Lindberg is truly one-of-a-kind and we are so grateful to have him as our Team Captain. Always there to help explain the process, cohesively work with realtors, buyers and our fabulous Operations staff, he is a true gift to our industry. He leads with his heart, and is an amazing trainer with an encyclopedic knowledge of guidelines. I am honored to get to work with him on a daily basis, but even more privileged to count him as my best friend. THANK YOU Scott for being the Ginger Jab!”
When Scott is not fueling his team to success, he enjoys the creative arts. Prior to the pandemic, Scott and his wife were live show junkies, attending almost 20 concerts and comedy shows last year. Traveling to the events was a big high point as it allowed them to explore new cities and all they have to offer. While in a remote situation, he has picked up the guitar and the paintbrush, enjoying these outlets at home and making some masterpieces we look forward to hearing and seeing soon.
In Scott’s constant desire to make those around him better, he says, “I do feel strongly that I’ve been encouraged to take on more of a leadership role to help train and guide my teammates in the ways of the Lampson Team. I couldn’t be prouder of how far they’ve come this year!” As Scott discusses his own appreciation for team, he adds to the overall philosophy of the company: “It’s obvious that HFG puts a focus on employees and finds many ways to recognize and support us. The recognition walls, anniversary gifts, and all the other ways management and fellow employees show their appreciation definitely make an impact.” What is also obvious is Scott’s drive and passion for helping others. His teammates and his clients always remain in focus and HFG is excited to continue to provide the tools to be successful and support to make it happen.
3 words that best describe Scott: Supportive. Collaborative. Consistent.

Charm is deceitful and physical beauty dies out, but there’s something regarding your ageless inner beauty. How can you own such beauty?
Many of us are attempting to be beautiful around the outdoors: all sorts of make-up, all sorts of things are starting with help make your outer beautiful. There’s no problem with getting an excellent outer appearance. However, we forget that physical beauty dies out regardless of the number of occasions you attempt to cover it through constitute. Inner beauty isn’t make-up or material stuff that attempt to boost the outer appearance beauty.
Katherine Hepburn would say true inner beauty inside a lady is reflected in her own soul. As every girl progress right into a lady, her physical beauty begins to fade. That’s the reason inner beauty is really special.. A goddess who offers true inner beauty, her eyes are better and her skin glows more. She becomes to vibrate in a different frequency, as she owns something a lot more valuable.
Inner Beauty is a type of radiance. It just originates from inside you Goddess. Begin to embrace your inner beauty. It’s a condition of obtaining the wholeness of the individual harmoniously and balance in our moment. You will begin to experience inner beauty whenever you flow together with your life’s purpose, true heart’s desire with all of your self.
Begin to own you inner self and love whom you really. Do you know the characteristics inside you that enable you to find meaning, pleasure, and gratification? Are you currently enthusiastic about something? Begin to follow your heart desires or perhaps a passion which makes you content. A goddess should acknowledge who she’s and permit like to flow in her own existence. She owns her in beauty when she becomes in sync together with her inner condition only at that moment. Have you considered the way your body, mind and soul feelings? Possibly, you’ve been feeling disconnected to what you are begin to in your inner beauty. Notice inner beauty self which will serve you for a lifetime rather than dies out.
Accept yourself for what you are. You’re the who owns your existence. Link with what you are and you’ll begin to live this existence on your own.
Beauty is your feelings inside. Begin to take possession of the inner beauty
A goddess shouldn’t be afraid to convey her inner beauty. There’s anything amazing that visiting a lady who shows her true inner self. Right out the heart.
The interior great thing about a goddess never dies out. | <urn:uuid:2754693d-0610-432a-aa85-b19327ea4a62> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://jewelrys-swarovskis.com/a-goddess-inner-beauty/ | 2022-01-22T11:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.943388 | 532 |
|Planking....watch ya got?|
I take fitness seriously. And I pride myself on being a runner who isn't "just a runner."
That said, I have to confess that sometimes it's fun to shake things up a bit and make a game out of it. After all, life is too short to be serious ALL the time.
In recent weeks, there's been a planking challenge among a few of us. I kind of joined the party a couple days late, and I don't know if the premise was to (1)work on building up endurance to increase total planking time, (2)experiment with different planking positions, or (3) to just simply add planks to your life. One thing's for sure....planking has taken on a whole new meaning in terms of comaraderie, friendship, support, and (maybe) a little bit of competition
I plank every day, without fail. At the minimum, I do a 2:30 forearm plank each morning while my chai is heating. I'm not usually looking too glamorous (bead head, pj's, and carpet slippers), so not many of those daily 2:30 planks are documented (you can thank me later).
|Fresh outta bed, complete with the comfy carpet slippers|
Planks also work your entire core (more info HERE) and help to strengthen your back. Depending on the position, they also give your legs definition, and can help to strengthen your hips as well.
This planking challenge kind of took on a life of its own, though.
I planked inside....
...and I planked outside...
|In the grass, also after a run|
|I'm just thankful he is willing to share the mat with me|
...in my backyard, in a dress (when no one was looking)...
|Yes! In a dress! On one leg!|
|in the muddy post-rain grass, with sunglasses and dress shoes, none-the-less|
|Ahhhhh, in the glorious sun....|
|Have you ever planked with a cowbell?|
|There also may have been some speed intervals involved...|
|Again, on one leg....|
What do you think about planking? Ever tried it? Back in November, I hosted a Planking on the Fly challenge (more info HERE). My goal was to meet (and/or surpass) 200 minutes of planking in the 30 days of November. Broken down, I had to average around seven minutes "on the floor" every day. I was able to make it to 210 minutes of planking in November!
So, there you have it. I'm linking up with Marcia (from Marcia's Healthy Slice ), for her Runfessions link-up. Marcia was the one "who started it!" (the planking challenge, that is). I invite you to head over and see what she's runfessing, as well as all the other bloggers who are 'fessing up. | <urn:uuid:c2f84b2b-38a6-4168-99ad-83fc2327542b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://kimrunsonthefly.blogspot.com/2016/05/runfessionsits-fun-not-being-so-serious.html | 2022-01-22T11:05:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.968615 | 646 |

Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe Returns to U.S. After Visiting Czech Prison Where He Was Detained
Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe has returned to the United States after the remainder of his Czech manslaughter trial was delayed last week to accommodate sick witness, among other reasons. Although the controversial trial must be harrowing for the metal frontman, Blythe remains positive and levelheaded about the situation, posting beautiful pictures of Prague along with detailed descriptions of the dichotomy Blythe has experienced during his time in the city.
In the first of a slew of Instagram posts from Feb. 12, Blythe reveals that although his trial judge stated that the singer did not need to return for the final days of the proceedings (March 4 and 5), he has chosen to go back. The reasons behind Blythe's decision remain honorable, but there are more complex and deep explanations at hand from the vocalist, shared in full via his Instagram account, on which he also detailed his experience visiting the Czech prison where he was detained for five weeks this past summer.
Below, we've compiled all of Blythe's posts from Feb. 12 into one essay, as they all flow together. He writes as follows:
I am back in Richmond, VA here in the U.S. of A., and I am certainly glad to see my home & friends here. But I shall return to Prague for the end of my trial, March 4 & 5- hopefully it will finally be settled. The judge told me I did not have to return for the end of the trial, but my head and my heart will remain in Prague until I see this thing through. Prague has built a strange place for itself in my heart- it is a beautiful place, one I have gotten to know rather well, and even love to a degree. But it is a city of contrasts for me, for I see Prague's beauty through a lens of tragedy. The city and what brought me there will always remain with me for the rest of my life. I must pay attention to the nature of this dichotomy, and learn it's lesson, no matter what happens. An old angel in front of a spray painted wall- it's perfect.
Nothing has just one side to it, and I believe it is a mistake to judge things immediately by exterior appearances alone. For example, take this clock. Prague has many, many, many towers and clocks, including the astronomical one in Old Town Square. The astronomical clock is one of the coolest clocks I have ever seen- people from all over the world gather every hour to watch it strike the hour, with all it's mechanized statues popping out and spinning around- it's basically a gigantic version of the world's coolest cuckoo clock. Prague has many other cool clock towers as well. Someone might look at this tired old clock and say "Ugh! Tear that thing down! Why would you have that clock when there are so many others here that are so pretty?" But to me, this clock is beautiful. It holds a strange place in my heart, like Prague itself.
The clock in beautiful to me, because in there, in Pankrác Prison, it was the only way I had to tell time for a long while.
After my last day in court recently, my wife, a friend, and I took the subway over to Pankrác. I needed to see it, to take pictures, to look at what was my home for over a month. It was a strange feeling returning there, and I think some wouldn't do it. I don't know- my trial is not over yet. I could return to a cell behind these walls. But I just wanted to see the place. The outside is nothing like the inside- once again, the dichotomy of my life in Prague. This is a beautiful row of birch trees planted alongside the outer wall of this 123 year old prison. On the other side is another world.
We walked the entire perimeter of the prison, through neighborhoods with nice gated houses and grim looking apartment high rises. I kept looking for my cell until I found it- it is the tiny square you see in the middle of this picture. That was my last cell, on the top floor, where I could look out and see where I took this picture from. I used to stare at the apartment building i took this picture from and wonder what was happening in there. Most of the time I was in the basement though, and the view from my cell window looked something like this picture, without as much sky. Without much of a view, I had to look inside myself. Dichotomy.
Pankrác is a grim place, but I kept my spirits up in there. If I felt sorry for myself, I quickly reminded myself that there are many in the world who would be grateful to have the food I had, to escape a war-torn homeland in exchange for three hits and a cot, even in a prison for a bit. Suddenly being thrown into a foreign prison wasn't fun, but it wasn't the worst thing that could happen to a man. I had food, clothes, and shelter. Remain grateful for what you DO have, not resentful over what you DON'T.
We finished walking and got on a subway back to the center of Prague. I was glad I came to look at the prison. I would love to have a camera in there- it's amazing inside, in a really messed up way. I do not know what the future holds for me- maybe I will return to behind these walls- but I do know that I have to do the right thing as my conscious dictates. For me that is going back to finish the trial, as I said I would. The family of the young man who is dead is in court everyday, along with mine. They have shown remarkable kindness by not attacking me in the press or anywhere else. It must be very difficult for them to look at my face, regardless of my guilt or innocence. They have behaved honorably, and so shall I. I will do my best to give them the answers they deserve. I ask people not to judge the family of this young man for wanting these answers- their family has lost a son- who would not want answers? I'm not so sure I would have displayed the class and reserve they have if the tables were turned. Remember, no story has just one side. Try to look at everything from different angles, to not make snap judgements. Put yourself in another's shoes for a second. Otherwise we all just remain in a prison of our own making. Thanks for all your support. I will put up some cheerier pictures soon, I promise.
As reported, a handful of witnesses have already taken the stand in the trial of Randy Blythe, which began last week and was supposed to end on Feb. 8 before being adjourned until March 4.

Reading the Fantastic Four comics from the start. You want more alternate universes? We got more alternate universes! It’s vol. 3, #47, legacy #476.
Godlike supervillain Abraxas (no, not the one from the Jesse Ventura movie) is a killing spree across the multiverse, and he has now arrived on Earth. The FF and their allies have split up into teams to search for the Cosmic Nullifier, a weapon which can defeat Abraxas. This issue begins with Abraxas in NYC, where various alternate timelines are converging all at once, everything from World War III to Curly of the Three Stooges being elected mayor of New York. Abraxas enter the Baxter Building, where he briefly confronts time-displaced teenage Valeria. Valeria discovers that Namorita, Johnny’s current girlfriend and an Atlantean, has lost her ability to breathe out of water. Abraxas says Valeria and Namorita aren’t the ones he seeks, and that he will wait.
In space, Johnny and an alternate timeline version of Johnny’s ex-girlfriend Nova (a.k.a. Frankie Raye) search for the Nullifier. Nova says that while she may not be the same Nova he once knew, her feelings for him aren’t any less real.
Then things get weird. We get a series of one-panel glimpses of “what if” alternate timelines for the FF. Of particular note is a timeline in which Reed and Sue’s second child, a baby girl, had survived the miscarriage.
Then we cut to another alt-timeline where Sue is working as a doctor in a small seaside town, using her powers to diagnose and set broken bones. Johnny shows up at her door with an injured bum, who we the readers recognize as Namor the Submariner as he was back in Fantastic Four #4, as an amnesiac bum. He’s been injured before Sue can let him in, Atlantean warships come flying out of the ocean.
Then we’re in yet another alt-timeline, a world the Marvel Wiki has labeled “Challengers of Doom.” Ben, coming from the Marvel Universe in search of the Nullifier, lands in an alternate New York where no one has ever heard of him. While he runs from a mob and some gun-happy cops, we the reader learn that this world’s most beloved superheroes are the Challengers of Doom, made up of Dr. Doom, Reed, Sue, and the Hulk. Doom goes on television and tells everyone that Galactus attacking Russia is a hoax. Ben transforms into his human form (he can do that during this time) and he goes to the Baxter Building, where Doom takes him hostage. Ben learns that Sue is his ex-wife in this timeline.
Then we cut yet ANOTHER freakin’ alternate timeline. The Marvel Wiki calls this one “Five for the Future.” Reed finds himself in a pre-WWII New York, as one of a group of heroic biplane pilots in conflict with a villain named the Monacle. Reed is joined by Mister Grim (who is Ben wearing a hood over his face) and his new teammates Mister Strange, Mister Feral, Mister Strange, and Mister Fixit. Sue shows up, revealing that she is an intrepid investigative reporter in this world. She tells Reed that her brother Johnny was recently killed by the Monacle.
Finally, we have scene set in Haven, one more alternate universe for the road, where Franklin and Valeria have traveled to meet with Roma, daughter of Merlin and guardian of the omniverse. With an image of Eternity (who is the living embodiment of all creation) behind her, Roma says, “If we do not act soon, all of time will be lost to us.”
To be continued!
Unstable molecule: Sorting out who is who among the Five for the Future was a little tricky. Reed is Doc Fantastic and Ben is Mr. Grim, obviously. Mister Strange is Dr. Strange, and Mister Feral is Beast from the X-Men. The other two took quite a bit of googling. Mister Fixit is not Bruce Banner (as the Hulk called himself “Mr. Fixit” for a while), but the villain-turned-hero the Fixer, later known as Techno. Mister Nelson is a buffed-up version of Foggy Nelson from Daredevil. Because Foggy’s real name is Franklin, some fans believe that this is a grown-up Franklin Richards, but it’s the Daredevil guy.
Fade out: It’s only referenced in one panel, but the Sue of the “Doctor Storm” timeline is the Marvel Universe Sue dropped into her alternate’s life, Quantum Leap-style.
Clobberin’ time: Ben escapes into the sewer to escape a crowd, in a reference to him doing the same thing in Fantastic Four #1.
Flame on: Johnny’s powers are still out of control, but he says he’s able to truly cut loose out in space with him and Nova around. (The previous issue explained that Johnny’s uniform is keeping him alive while in space.)
Four and a half: The last time we saw Franklin last issue, he was telling the FF that he had a prophetic dream about Abraxas. Next, he was playing a game at home before Abraxas arrived on Earth. Then, in this issue, he’s in Haven for a prearranged meeting with him, Roma, and (maybe?) Eternity. What cosmic odyssey did he go on between issues that we see?
Our gal Val: This is the beginning of the end for Valeria Von Doom, a.k.a. Marvel Girl. The reference to Reed and Sue’s second child surviving is a big clue as to how this storyline will end up.
Sue-per spy: The 2019 Invisible Woman miniseries established that Sue has had a double life as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent all this time. In this issue she can use her powers to diagnose and then set a broken bone. Could this be her spy training at work?
Commercial break: Lord of the Rings was a big deal in 2001. The toys were perhaps less of a big deal.
Trivia time: “Five for the Future” is an obvious tribute to classic pulp hero Doc Savage. Would you believe that Doc Savage is also a canonical Marvel character? Marvel published two short-lived Doc Savage comics, in 1972 and 1975, which were firmly set in the Marvel Universe. Savage also teamed up with the FF’s own Thing in Marvel Two-in-One #21 in 1976. Like Marvel’s Godzilla, Transformers, and Rom: Spaceknight, it’s unlikely that these will ever be reprinted due to legal issues.
Fantastic or frightful? I like alt-universe “what if” stories as much as anyone, but there’s such a thing as too much. Every few pages, or even panels, there’s another new timeline to follow, and it gets to be too much. Knowing how this storyline will wrap up, I wonder why we’re bothering with these certain-to-be-inconsequential what-ifs.
Next: Back to the (alternate) future.

by Henry A. Giroux
Edward Snowden, Russ Tice, Thomas Drake, Jeremy Scahill, and Julian Assange, among others, have recently made clear what it means to embody respect for a public intellectual debate, moral witnessing and intellectual culture. They are not just whistle-blowers or disgruntled ex-employers but individuals who value ideas, think otherwise in order to act otherwise, and use the resources available to them to address important social issues with what might be called a fearsome sense of social responsibility and civic courage. Their anger is not treasonous or self-serving as some critics argue, it is the indispensable sensibility and righteous fury that fuels the meaning over what it means to take a moral and political stand and to continue the struggle to live in a substantive rather than fake democracy.
These are people who work with ideas, but are out of place in a society that only values ideas that serve the interests of the market and the powerful and rich. Their alleged wrongdoings as intellectuals and truth tellers is that they have revealed the illegalities, military abuses, sordid diplomacy and crimes committed by the United States government in the name of security. Moreover, as scholars, scientists, educators, artists and journalists, they represent what C. Wright Mills once called the “organized memory of society” and refuse “to become hired technician[s] of the military machine.”
There is a long tradition of such intellectuals, especially from academia and the world of the arts, but they are members of a dying breed and their legacy is no longer celebrated as a crucial element of public memory. Whether we are talking about W. E. B. Dubois, Jane Jacobs, Edward Said, James Baldwin, Murray Bookchin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Michael Harrington, C. Wright Mills, Paul Sweezy or Ellen Willis, these were bold intellectuals who wrote with vigor, passion and clarity and refused the role of mere technicians or lapdogs for established power. They embraced ideas critically and engaged them as a fundamental element of individual agency and social action. Such intellectuals addressed the totality of problems faced in the periods in which they lived, made their publications accessible, and spoke to multiple publics while never compromising the rigorous nature of their work. They worked hard to make knowledge, and what Foucault called, dangerous memories available to the public because they believed that the moral and cultural sensibilities that shaped society should be open to interrogation. They paved the way for the so-called whistle-blowers of today along with many current public intellectuals who refuse the seductions of power. Intellectuals of that generation who are still alive are now largely ignored and erased from the public discourse.
Intellectuals of that older generation have become a rare breed who enriched public life. Unfortunately, they are a dying generation, and there are not too many intellectuals left who have followed in their footsteps. The role of such intellectuals has been chronicled brilliantly by both Russell Jacoby and Irving Howe, among others. What has not been commented on with the same detail, theoretical rigor and political precision is the emergence of the new anti-public intellectuals. Intellectuals who act in the service of power are not new, but with the rise of neoliberalism and the huge concentrations of wealth and power that have accompanied it, a new class of intellectuals in the service of casino capitalism has been created. These intellectuals are now housed in various cultural apparatuses constructed by the financial elite and work to engulf the American public in a fog of ignorance and free-market ideology. We can finds hints of this conservative cultural apparatus with its machineries of public pedagogy in the Powell Memo of 1971, with its call for conservatives to create cultural apparatuses that would cancel out dissent, contain the excesses of democracy and undermine the demands of the student free speech, anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. What has emerged since that time is a neoliberal historical conjuncture that has given rise to a new crop of anti-public intellectuals hatched in conservative think tanks and corporate-driven universities who are deeply wedded to a world more fitted to values and social relations of fictional monsters such as John Galt and Patrick Bateman.
Unlike an older generation of conservative intellectuals such as Edward Shils, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Norman Podhoretz, William Buckley and Allan Bloom, who believed in reasoned arguments, drew upon respected intellectual traditions, affirmed the world of ideas, and engaged in serious debates, the new anti-public intellectuals are ideologues who rant, speak in slogans, and wage a war on reason and the most fundamental institutions of democracy extending from public schools and labor unions to the notion of quality health care for all and the principles of the social contract. We hear and see them on Fox News, the Sunday talk shows, and their writings appear in the country’s most respected op-ed pages.
Their legions are growing, and some of the most popular include Peggy Noonan, Thomas Freidman, Tucker Carlson, Juan Williams, S. E. Cupp and Judith Miller. Their more scurrilous hangers-on and lightweights include: Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. The anti-public intellectuals are rarely off-script, producing tirades against, among others: the less fortunate, who are seen as parasites; immigrants who threaten the identity of white Christian extremists; women who dare to argue for controlling their reproductive rights; and people of color, who are not American enough to deserve any voting rights. They deride science and evidence and embrace ideologies that place them squarely in the camp of the first Gilded Age, when corporations ruled the government, Jim Crow was the norm, women knew their place and education was simply another form of propaganda. Much of what these Gilded Age anti-public intellectuals propose and argue for is not new. As Isaac William Martin points out, “Many of the proposals themselves are old; not founding-fathers old, but early-20th-century old. They are the harvest of a century of rich people’s movements.”
What the anti-public intellectuals never include in their screeds are any mention of a government corrupted by the titans of finance, banks and the mega rich, or the scope and extent of the military-industrial-academic-surveillance state and its threat to the most basic principles of democracy. What does arouse their anger to fever pitch are those public intellectuals who dare to question authority, expose the crimes of corrupt politicians, and call into question the carcinogenic nature of a corporate state that has hijacked American democracy. This is most evident in the insults and patriotic gore heaped recently on Manning and Snowden, who are the latest in a group of young people whose only “crime” has been to expose the abusive powers of the national security state. Rather than being held up as exemplary public intellectuals and true patriots of democracy, they are disparaged as traitors, un-American or worse.
The role of the anti-public intellectuals in this instance is part of a much larger practice of self-deceit, self-promotion, and the shutting down of those formative cultures that give rise to intellectuals willing to take risks and fight for matters of freedom, justice, transparency and equality. For too many intellectuals, both liberal and conservative, the flight from responsibility turns into a Faustian pact with a corrupt and commodified culture whose only allegiance is to accumulating capital and consolidating control over all aspects of the lives of the American public. Liberal anti-public intellectuals are more nuanced in their support for the status quo. They do not condemn critical intellectuals as un-American, they simply argue that there is no room for politics in the university and that academics, for instance, should save the world on their own time. Such views disconnect pedagogy from any understanding of politics and in doing so make a false distinction between what Gayatri Spivak calls “the possibility of civic engagement and democratic action and teaching in the classroom.” She argues that “this is a useless distinction because I think what you have to realize is that it is with the mind that one takes democratic action. . . . The Freedom to teach, to expand the imagination as an instrument to think “world” is thus deeply political. It operates at the root of where the ethical imagination and the political mingle.” C.W. Mills goes further and dismisses the attempt to take politics out of the classroom as part of the “cynical contempt of specialists.” He then offers a defense for what public intellectuals do by insisting that:
I do not believe that intellectuals will inevitably ‘save the world,’ although I see nothing at all wrong with ‘trying to save the world’ — a phrase which I take here to mean the avoidance of war and the rearrangement of human affairs in accordance with the ideals of human freedom and reason. But even if we think the chances dim, still we must ask: If there are any ways out of the crises of our epoch by means of the intellect, is it not up to intellectuals to state them?
Intellectuals should provide a model for connecting scholarship and public life, address important social and political issues, speak to multiple audiences, help citizens come to a more critical and truthful understanding of their own views and their relations to others and the larger society. But they should do more than simply raise important questions, they should also work to create those public spheres and formative cultures in which matters of dialogue, thoughtfulness and critical exchange are both valued and proliferate. Zygmunt Bauman is right in arguing that it is the moral necessity and obligation of the intellectual to take responsibility for their responsibility – for ourselves, others and the larger world. Part of that responsibility entails becoming a moral witness, expanding the political imagination, and working with social movements in their efforts to advance social and economic justice, promote policies that are just, and make meaningful the promises of a radical democracy.
What might it mean for intellectuals to assume such a role, even if in limited spheres such as public and higher education? At the very least, it would suggest educating students as informed and critical citizens by providing them with a language that will extend their sense of individual and social agency, deepen and enlarge their intellectual perspectives, and broaden their ability to think critically and engage with wider audiences. Instead, we educate them to be either low-paid workers who despise the social wage or to become a potential workforce for the Walmart-prison-industrial complex. College campuses, once a hotbed of dissent, have become prime sites in developing weapons of death. Faculty has largely been reduced to adjuncts – out of 1.5 million faculty, more than 1 million hold temporary jobs. Learning is being turned into a form of commerce or training. Critical thought is now viewed as an excess in a culture in which a college education is simply a credential for getting a well-paid job. At best, students are now trained or groomed to be ardent, unquestioning consumers – the children of Aldous Huxley’s nightmares – who eventually define their intense investment in pleasure through forms of violence that provide increasingly the only thrill left in a society dominated by surveillance cameras, Reality TV, the culture of cruelty, and the mind-numbing experience of the ever-present shopping malls.
Against the onslaught of anti-public intellectuals, there is a more laudable role that intellectuals can develop such as working with other intellectuals and community groups in a variety of sites to address those important social, political and economic issues that are now destroying all vestiges of the public good and democracy – issues ranging from poverty, war, militarization, the war on women, the privatization and commodification of education, and the full-fledged corporate destruction of the environment. Though the conditions supporting such practices are diminishing in American society, such public concerns and political interventions, which are largely educational in nature, are particularly crucial issues for those young people, educators and engaged citizens who are struggling to make education a central feature of politics. Instead of holding up billionaires such as Bill Gates, former trader and hedge-fund manager Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and celebrities such as Irish rocker Bono as public intellectuals, there is a need for this generation of youth to be exposed to public intellectuals who are working actively to develop those formative cultures in which social, cultural and economic conditions can be put in places that provide opportunities for young people to learn how to be engaged, socially responsible and critical agents.
In an age of intense militarization, selfishness, commodification and widespread injustices, educators, teachers, artists and other cultural workers must find new ways to struggle against being reduced to what Gramsci once called “experts in legitimation.” Of course, there are remnants of such intellectuals such as Jeffrey St Clair, Eric Alterman, Katha Pollitt, Glenn Greenwald, and Thom Hartmann, among others, writing for alternative media such as The Nation, The Guardian, Truthout, CounterPunch, Truthdig and AlterNet and appearing on news programs such as “Democracy Now,” but they constitute a small minority. And there is a small subgroup in and outside of the university – people such as David Theo Goldberg, David Palumbo-Liu, Stanley Aronowitz, Carol Becker, Chris Hedges, Angela Davis, Cornel West, Robin D. G. Kelley and others, but they too constitute a small minority.
Some have argued, wrongly in my estimation, that such intellectuals, because they address a broader audience and public issues, betray the scholarly tradition by not being rigorous theoretically. I think this is a massive misreading of much of the work published by such intellectuals, as well as a distortion of what is often published in online journals such as Truthout, CounterPunch, and Truthdig. In fact, Truthout often publishes substantive theoretically rigorous articles under its Public Intellectual Project that are accessible, address important social issues, and at the same time, attract large numbers of readers. I am inclined to believe that at the heart of this misinformed critique is an unadulterated nostalgia for those heady days when one could publish unintelligible articles in small journals and make the claim, generally uncontested, that one was an intellectual because one wrote in the idiom of high theory. Those days are gone, if they ever really existed so as to make a difference about anything that might concern addressing significant public issues.
What does it mean to be a public intellectual at a time when intellectual culture, thoughtful analyses and rigorous criticism are held in such low regard by much of the American public? At the very least, public intellectuals should work diligently to enable people to translate private issues into public concerns. As C. Wright Mills pointed out some time ago, one of the great threats to a democracy is the collapse of the public into the private and the loss of the ability on the part of the public to connect private troubles to larger systemic issues. This politics of disconnect and its refusal to understand issues within broader historical and relational contexts is the function of a neoliberal mode of public pedagogy that is central to the success of the right-wing counterrevolution and has to be stopped. Clearly, there are a host of issues public intellectuals should be addressing extending from the assault on the environment and the social state to the increasing destruction being promoted worldwide by neoliberal policies against the social state and all democratic public spheres. Understanding how larger structural forces impact our lives offers a challenge to a society that begins and ends with the false chimera of individual responsibility and the myth of unlimited choices.
The influence of this type of atomization so central to casino capitalism does not merely play out as part of the paralyzing logic of the market. It is also present in the endless obsession with identity politics and the distressing fragmentation that has crippled the left and impeded the development of broader social movements in the United States. This is not to suggest that the feminist movement or the struggle for gay rights and related identity-based movements are not important, they are crucial to any viable struggle for a radical democracy, but they cannot be allowed to ossify into dogmatic ideologies and forms of political purity based on exclusionary principles and practices. What is crucial is that such intellectuals not get caught up in isolated and fragmented issues and movements that undermine their potential strengths as well as the ability to recognize the limitations of movements whose struggles are organized around particularistic rather than a more general sense of freedom and justice.
Any struggle for particular rights must be accompanied by the need to develop a larger conversation about society and what has to be done to dismantle its underlying structures of inequality of wealth and power so as to develop broader social movements built on a more organized and totalizing sense of politics and political change. At the same time, given the dire circumstances the world currently finds itself in, the late Tony Judt was at least partly right in arguing that in this day and age one responsible task of the intellectual may not be to imagine a better world in such narrow terms but to prevent the existing one from getting any worse. Of course, Judt spoke from a cautious pessimism that haunted him just before his death, but I am sure he would view that challenge as the most elemental task of the public intellectual and that it would represent just the beginning in a more sustained collective effort to move beyond pessimism to hope as part of a broader effort to restructure the entirety of a corrupt and antidemocratic society.
The dominant reactions to Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA and the PRISM program should shame us as a nation. As a result of revealing crucial information that the government unlawfully kept secret, he has been vilified by the media and labeled a criminal by the Obama administration. The real crime in this case is revealing that your government is wrongfully spying in multiple ways on almost all Americans, regardless of whether they have committed a crime or not. Kirsten Powers is right in arguing that the “real problem is that Snowden didn’t understand that his role is to sit and be quiet while the ‘best and the brightest’ keep Americans in the dark about government snooping on private citizens.” In this scenario, the crimes of an authoritarian government appear to be off limits and beyond critique or accountability. In this Orwellian script, peace is truly war, and the acts of criminals are heroic.
Though it is a matter of public record that the US government has killed children through drone strikes in Afghanistan, lied about the reasons that led to the Iraqi war (reproducing a similar refrain for bombing Syria), refused to prosecute government officials and CIA operatives who openly admitted they either supported or committed torture in Iraq and Afghanistan, the American public barely flinches when brave whistle-blowers are imprisoned, subjected to solitary confinement and labeled as traitors for exposing the crimes of their government. After 30 years of a market-driven immorality, political corruption and a culture of cruelty and irresponsibility, the American public appears lifeless as it moves through a fog of civic illiteracy and unchecked greed and power. All the while, too many Americans appear to be on life support, drowning in a tidal wave of a celebrity-driven commodified culture that makes stupidity a virtue, rewards armies of quasi-intellectuals who parade through the major news channels and talk shows while unabashedly renouncing all connections to civic courage and truth telling, and refuses to make the titans of finance and government accountable for their crimes. As state and corporate terrorism proliferate, the quasi-intellectuals raise their voices and deliver their scripted slogans only to condemn those brave enough to expose the abuses of a government and corporate elites that undermine all vestiges of a democracy.
We have too many anti-public intellectuals or quasi-intellectuals who no longer believe in the intellectual vocation, truth telling, or the practice of freedom. What is new is not the repression of dissent by the government, but the scope and extent to which various types of intellectuals have been seduced by academia, corporations, the military-industrial-surveillance complex and the mass-culture industries. They have been absorbed into what C. Wright Mills called the power elite, and rather than criticize governmental and corporate propaganda, they produce and normalize it. All one has to do is follow the career of academics such as David Steiner, Nathan Glazer, John Campbell, Glenn Hubbard or Martin Feldstein. Or for that matter the number of college presidents such as Ruth Simmons, one-time President of Brown University, and Debora Spar, president of Bernard College, both of whom sat on the board of directors of Goldman Sachs. There are also the examples of Susan Hockfoeld, the president of MIT who sat on the board of General Electric, and Carol Christ, the president of Smith College, who graced the board of Merrill Lynch with her presence. As Charles Ferguson points out in Predator Nation, this reads like a board of academic shame. One has to wonder how such powerful academics shaped or stifled the culture of questioning and dissent on their own campuses, especially when it might have been aimed at the types of institutions from which they derived their salaries and helped to legitimate as corporate models of leadership. Walt Disney, the ultimate self-promoter and cheerleader for the free market would be turning over in his grave with envy in the face of this type of hubris.
At the same time, those few critical and public intellectuals who voice their concerns almost never appear in the dominant media or are held up as heroic intellectuals. For example, Noam Chomsky, Stanley Aronowitz, Angela Davis and many other public intellectuals well-known in the alternative media are completely absent from the dominant cultural apparatuses. And while many notable public intellectuals are simply erased from the mainstream media, there are others who are removed from textbooks, deleted from the intellectual archive of the country or renounced simply as traitors. A perfect example of this type of censorship and anti-intellectualism was on full display recently when it was revealed by the Associated Press that former Indiana Governor and George W. Bush adviser Mitch Daniels tried to remove a work of Howard Zinn (which has sold over a million copies) from the state’s schools in 2010 claiming that The People’s History of the United States is a “truly execrable, anti-factual piece of disinformation that misstates American history on every page.” There is more than ignorance at work here. There is a willful refusal to know – a type of ideological fundamentalism that thrives on certainty and finds its final resting place in “laboratories of totalitarian regimes.” This atrocious act of censorship and ideological rigidity did nothing to slow down Daniels’ career as he was recently appointed to be the president of Purdue University, the second largest university in Indiana. With the likes of neoliberal CEOs and conservative warriors such as Daniels heading major universities, it is understandable to find that public intellectuals are in short supply in academia – with many faculty now retreating into impenetrable vocabularies, irrelevant specializations, or crossing over and becoming complicit in serving the interest of the military-industrial-academic complex.
At a time when American society is immersed in the psychosis of war and capital accumulation regardless of the social costs, intellectuals, artists, media pundits, academics, journalists, and other cultural workers should be engaged in a critical dialogue with the American public, and if they are not, I think it is fair to say that they are not public intellectuals and function more like bureaucrats, specialists, and technicians, or even worse, become complicit with the warfare-surveillance state. Those who work in the realm of ideas and willingly retreat from the notion of intellectual work as a vocation in the pursuit of truth telling and the practice of freedom have been reduced to a subaltern class of legitimation technicians who expand the culture of conformity and the machineries of war, violence and death, even when they are not aware of what the consequences of their withdrawal from society implies. On the other hand, public intellectuals who do engage society critically to expose the mad violence of war, mass surveillance and hyper-nationalism are on the wane, and rather than command attention and respect are relegated to the status of being unprofessional, un-American, or even worse, traitors. A shameful example of this type of hyper-patriotic baiting was on full display when David Gregory, the host of “Meet the Press Sunday,” asked Glenn Greenwald why he should not be charged with a crime given his dealings with Edward Snowden. Not only was Gregory impugning the critical work that journalists should do as part of the fifth estate, but actually suggesting that journalists who help expose government corruption and illegality should be subject to criminal punishment. Welcome to 1984.
Since the 1970s, public intellectuals have been under attack, especially in the United States. Dissent is now disparaged, repressed and subject to criminal prosecution as in the widely publicized examples of Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning. At the same time, the neoliberal coma of normalization and anti-intellectualism has radically undermined those public spheres and formative cultures that are capable and crucial to the production of public intellectuals, dissent and displays of collective civic courage. That is, higher education, the culture industry, and other crucial public spheres have largely been commodified, subject to the imperatives of a casino capitalism that only views intellectuals as servants of the state, military-industrial complex, and corporations. In addition to the ideological and structural crises facing intellectuals, there is the emergence of new electronic and screen technologies that, in the absence of strong public values, can dampen any vestige of critical thought and civic literacy, making it all the more difficult for individuals to think critically, take risks, and act with a sense of civic courage. It has become too easy today for intellectuals to sell their wares to the big banks, financial services and other corporate behemoths that control the commanding institutions of most societies in the West.
The problem goes deeper. Within higher education, what passes as critical pedagogy and teaching has been instrumentalized, stripped of its critical vocation, and is now largely a resource for corporate and military interests. Higher education is increasingly dominated by specialists and data collectors who have become largely servants of the state. The institution has lost its identity, if not relevance, as a source of scholarship serving the public good. Its mission as a democratic public sphere has been eroded in the last 40 years. Part of this retreat from democratic values and any viable notion of the common good is largely due to the increasing corporatization of the university on one hand and the rise of privatized, corporate-funded foundations and the unceasing attack by right-wing cultural warriors, on the other, who mostly produce their own apparatchiks, unapologetically functioning as anti-public intellectuals and uncritical hacks. The Koch brothers for instance are not simply part of the 1%, an economic force that generates massive amounts of inequality in wealth, power and income, they also command a wide swath of cultural apparatuses that produce a mammoth source of public pedagogy waging war against all vestiges of the public good, including public education, unions, nonprofit media, the social wage and any public sphere that does not bear the paralyzing imprint of the market. The Koch brothers and their neoliberal allies have created multiple dead zones of the imagination, spaces where critical thought is hijacked and turned into a cesspool of conformity.
At the same time as higher education comes under the influence of neoliberal modes of governance, faculty are reduced to a largely contingent and part-time subaltern class of underpaid workers, modeled after the labor practices of Walmart. Too many young faculty and students are deep in debt and their positions are too precarious for them to speak out critically in and out of the classroom on important social issues for fear of losing their jobs. Similarly, in too many cases, the distorted and business-driven notion of professionalization that increasingly drives certain areas such as the social sciences, humanities and liberal arts sanction and reward modes of scholarship steeped in forms of jargon and specialized languages that a very limited number of people can understand and serves largely to render such work irrelevant in addressing important public issues and communicating to wider publics. There is more than a deskilling of academics at work here, there is also the bullying neoliberal culture of depoliticization.
The instrumental logic of the data collectors too often finds its counterpart in those intellectuals who are lost in their careers and endlessly interview themselves. They do everything they can to make themselves irrelevant while undermining the development of a healthy sense of intellectual vocation and the need for intellectuals to address human suffering, make power accountable, and interpret, question, and interrogate authority rather than simply succumb to it. The issue of how knowledge, values, and social relations are implicated in particular forms of power and legitimate existing social relations and a specific notion of the future is ignored. Rather than address wider publics, they scorn and disdain them, all done with the kind of snobbery and stale witticism that implies how smug this particular class of depoliticized intellectuals have become. All too often, the only force that offsets them in the academy are a small but loud group of militarized sectarians who argue for a mind-numbing anti-intellectual discourse that collapses intellectual inquiry into biology or into what they call the need for safe spaces. As if intellectual engagement should be attacked for being provocative, unsettling, and willing to contest the common-sense assumptions that students often inhabit.
Of course, education does not merely take place in the institutions of schooling. Most of what people learn today comes from the old, and new cultural apparatuses with their myriad of technologies that raise the issue of intellectual violence to a whole new level. What seems indisputable is that the commanding media, in all of their manifestations from newspapers, radio, television and film leave very little room for critique, substantive dialogue, and informed judgment. These media are mostly engaged in what Chomsky called manufactured consent, producing spectacles of violence, and pushing a celebrity culture that becomes the ultimate model of an enervating mode of consumption. The commanding media are undeniably controlled by a very limited number of mega corporations and mostly offer a venue for whom Pierre Bourdieu called “fast intellectuals” – often second-rate scholars and idiotic pundits – who corner the market in slogans and trendy answers that surprise no one and whose truth value is disregarded next to how they improve audience ratings.
Loyalty to fame, money and authority is far more important to the fast intellectuals than the truth, a sense of social responsibility, or a passion and commitment to a more just world. These intellectuals do not enrich public life; they degrade it. At the same time, in the age of digital and electronic media, with its expanding platforms of communication and screen cultures, public intellectuals for the first time since the 1970s have the power to expand their audiences and engage in a level of critical engagement that is crucial to the fate of any civilized democratic society. Public intellectuals must use whatever resources are available to question the vocabularies, institutions, ideologies and values of neoliberalism and other authoritarian forces of war, violence and privatization that are now threatening the planet. The new media offer a space and opportunity for intellectuals to engage in a new utopian discourse, one in which progressive social change becomes imaginable just as a future is viewed in terms that refuse to imitate the present. Public intellectuals must refuse all vestiges of sectarianism, political purity and moral absolutism. They must engage in modes of self-critique, tempered with an ability to listen to others and a willingness to display what Orwell called the rare moral and political beauty of the “offensiveness” of truth telling and the willingness to make power and authority accountable. Surely, this has to be the foundation for not just imagining a better world, but also collectively struggling for it. We live at a time when those who have the courage to hold authority accountable are treated like criminals and those who, under the authority of the state and mega corporations, commit horrendous crimes are treated as patriots and models of leadership. The Patrick Batemens of American Psycho are the new normal, and now they want to bomb Syria to make the point that only violence can play an important mediating role in any conflict or be used as the primary resource to address major problems. In actuality, they have been making that point since the 1960s, and we see its legacy in the needless death of millions of innocent people whose memory demands that intellectuals speak up and challenge the machinery of death that now speaks in the name of empire.

Some thoughts on casual gamers having shorter and shorter attention spans, and some ideas on how make design games for them.
My new day job is as an iPhone developer, so the target audience is mostly casual gamers, and commuter gamers (people who play with games while they are waiting for the train, etc.)
So that got me thinking, how do I design games (although my job description is actually programmer) that would cater to this group of people.
That also got me thinking, who are these people?
When I got my first game job, a year and a half ago, our company was making casual games – Flash ones, like Match 3 and hidden object types. Those were the days of Peggle, Mystery Case Files and Diner Dash (when they were in their good ol’ downloadable form). The “casual gamers” back then, according to my professor (almost two years ago), were “soccer moms”. “Soccer moms” (pardon stereotypes) who have a lot of time on their hands that they can spend playing hours and hours of Peggle. But games like Mystery Case Files and Dream Chronicles have endings, so you wouldn’t play it again after you finish it (you would however, buy the sequel, and another sequel and another sequel).
And then the Flash era ended, and there was Facebook, and the term “social gamers”, which are actually casual gamers, still, I think. Now social gamers are a wide variety of people, my friends, my friends’ friends, my friends’ parents, but to be more specific, according to a Gamasutra article: “Study: 53% Of Facebook’s Users Have Played Social Games, 19% ‘Addicted’”, mostly young women, 18 to 34 years old. The games on Facebook, you can play for a minute, or you can play for hours. The games don’t have “levels” per se, so you can go on playing forever.
Funny story, the office of my old job is at a Stock Exchange building, so the people there are all pretty serious guys in suits, and my officemate told me that she ran into two suits guys talking about Bejewelled in the elevator. They were seriously talking about Bejewelled. I guess, I can add them to the casual gamers list.
I guess casual games opened up “gaming” to a wider audience.
Now, we know who casual gamers are, what are they like then?
I suddenly remembered blogging, now blogs used to be really long entries, detailing every single thing that happened during the day, now with Twitter, I only have 140 characters to tell my friends what I have been up to. What used to take at least half and hour to do, became less than a minute.
Games like Mystery Case Files that used to well, at least take a day to play, became games like well, my favorite game on Facebook is actually this 1 minute game called Plock.
I also remember how I used to watch Korean dramas, that are 1 hour per episode and has like 50 episodes, but now I watch The Guild on Bing, which Felicia Day crams into 5 to 7 minutes per episode.
Okay, enough intro, let’s continue.
Forgive me for generalizing casual gamers again (like my previous previous previous blog post: A Peek into the Mind of a Social Gamer), it’s just that I find myself to be a stereotype (although they may not know who Codex is, but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only tweep).
Continuing from my old blog post, casual gamers want their games cute, simple, and what’s the last one again, oh yeah, easily accessible.
Now I’m emphasizing a few things: games HAVE to be pick up and play.
Games doesn’t have to be really short, but it should be short enough so that the player doesn’t lose interest, or it has to be really engaging so that the player doesn’t get bored. Like I mentioned before, casual games are played in between, in between classes, checking Facebook messages, or during train rides.
So game ideas…
What I like about the Facebook game Plock is that it is really simple, and it’s really short, you just click on the matching blocks next to each other and see them *plock* and disappear until you minute is up, and at the end of the game, there are ranks based on your score, which you can compare with your friends, my friend Hans is like an uber alien or something.
After that round, you can close Facebook and go on with doing other things, or you can play another round and another. What keeps it from being un-boring for me, is well, trying to beat my alien friends.
So something like Plock with a 1 minute format works, oh, there’s actually an iPhone game called 60 Seconds (which also follows the 1 minute format).
And I was browsing the cocos2d forums, I found a guy who made this game called I.S.U.D. (It Shoots, You Dodge), which is this bullet hell game with adorable glowing bullets and patterns.
What is interesting about this game though, is that it has dynamic difficulty, which means that newbies won’t find it hard to pick up, while hard core gamers can keep on challenging themselves. Also, this, according to their website, offers great replayability.
So the solution to my short attention span: games in bite size chunks that I can keep challenging myself over and over again with. | <urn:uuid:e1dcae2a-4de8-49c6-a108-8dff0aea990b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://purplelilgirl.com/2010/09/17/i-want-my-games-in-bite-size-chunks/ | 2022-01-22T11:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.968704 | 1,194 |

Lamentably it’s not as simple as basically saying you need silk robes or a bunch of silk sheets. That is on the grounds that like cotton, there are a few kinds of the material to look over. So then, at that point we should find out about the most widely recognized to choose what in the world is the most ideal alternative for your silk buy.
Chiffon is the lightest of the multitude of silks and is at some point very “transparent”, on the grounds that it’s exceptionally fine more often than not in case you’re utilizing it for a texture you will require a covering or the like. So on the off chance that it’s for a night outfit or a robe, it’s presumably not the most ideal choice.
China silk is another normal texture. It’s very light and most ordinarily utilized for scarves. Since it’s delicate it’s not suggested for sheets or for garments. However, it is the most affordable of the silks.
Tussah is another decision and it’s altogether different from most others. It’s not developed in a controlled climate, and the worms eat an eating routine of oak and juniper leaves. The length and strands are somewhat unique since they are so natural. The filaments make it difficult to color, and expect it to be laundered. Be that as it may, it’s beautiful flaw free which is a young ladies closest companion.
And afterward there is mulberry silk, the best silk for making sheets and dresses since it’s tough, the surface is extremely extravagant and it’s the most serviceable. The worms take care of an eating routine of mulberries which is the place where the name is gotten from. Over all, it’s your most ideal alternative when looking for your silk extravagances.
There are additionally silk mixes which join silk and polyester or silk and cottons. Try not to be tricked by these as you will not get a similar extravagant feel from the mix. Search for a label that says 100% silk and even expresses the mm (the heaviness of the silk). | <urn:uuid:fa78f28f-de0e-4bfc-95c0-5eece99787ef> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://spacecitysccop.com/the-right-silk-for-you/ | 2022-01-22T11:12:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.942453 | 453 |

Don’t let the heat of the moment – or of your engine – get to your head. Schedule a radiator repair or service for your 2021 Acura NSX today.
It can be tough to know when to have your Acura NSX radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.
Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2021 Acura NSX is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Acura recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
What does radiator repair include? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Acura NSX cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.
Radiator problems often go hand in hand with water pump problems. Of all the parts in your 2021 Acura NSX engine, the water pump is one that you can't put off repairing or replacing. The role of the water pump is to keep coolant circulating in your engine, radiator, and hoses. If it isn’t functioning properly, your engine won’t be able to stay within its optimal temperature range. Our technicians can take a look at your radiator’s components to help make sure everything is in working order. From the heater core to the radiator cap, we’re here to give your 2021 Acura NSX the top-notch service it needs. We stand behind our work with our Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.

“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”Thich Nhat Hanh
I like to write letters that I don’t plan to send. Crazy, right?
I started working on this idea that I found in a book as a suggestion of self-therapy when a relationship with someone that I cared about was not working. Or it was not what I felt it should be.
A 10-year friendship has recently ended, and while looking around my computer for a personal file, I found a letter that I had completely forgotten about.
I wrote this letter to my friend one year ago, and back then, the reasons why I felt the relationship was not working were exactly the same ones I feel today.
Moments like these are signs that sometimes things shatter for our greater good, but we don’t want to let go of, and we hold on to them for longer than necessary, only to end up in the exact same place that broke our hearts one year ago.
Letting go is a choice. Sometimes the choice is ours to make, sometimes it’s made for us. Either way, embrace the moments of brokenness because they help us shape our path into an even greater version of the one that we walk on today. | <urn:uuid:fd548cdb-0799-4307-8aa5-a8122066f879> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://virginiazuloaga.com/letting-ourselves-flow-between-breaks/ | 2022-01-22T10:47:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.981237 | 273 |

Because construction work is one of the most hazardous occupations, construction workers in Pennsylvania and across the nation are injured or die in a work-related accident due to electrified wires, large and dangerous equipment and materials, poor weather conditions and other factors. However, by taking several precautionary safety measures, construction crew leaders can help make construction work sites safer. Here are four tips.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has guidelines to protect employees
Every construction crew leader is required to follow and enforce these safety guidelines no matter how insignificant they might seem to be. From reviewing job site tasks and evaluating sites for possible hazards to creating individualized safety plans for every project and discussing the potential dangers with team members, construction crew leaders can improve workplace safety. Leaders might also consider appointing one employee to keep inventory of first aid supplies, monitor safety training, create workplace safety plans and keep abreast of OSHA guidelines.
Employers should provide personal protection equipment for their employees
By providing safety gear, also called personal protection equipment, employers show that they value their employees’ health, safety and well-being. Some of this equipment includes hard hats, gloves, safety goggles and boots that protect employees from chemical burns, hazardous material exposure, hearing, vision and head injuries, and other job-related hazards.
Technology can improve occupational safety
Employers have a number of technological means to help them create a safer workplace. One such application, Heat Safety Tool, is through OSHA and sends reminders regarding protective measures. Another useful app is from the American Red Cross and offers first aid tips and weather alerts.
Training should regularly take place at the worksite
With the help of mobile applications and online training from OSHA, employees can keep up to date on occupational safety measures. Employees can be certified in safety training via OSHA courses.
Severe construction-related injuries can lead to workers suffering substantial financial losses. Those who have suffered an on-the-job injury have a right to file a workers’ compensation claim, which typically covers a certain percentage of their losses. | <urn:uuid:5e71d369-9a00-4af3-b4ec-3caf733dc3a3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.aldlawfirm.com/blog/2020/06/tips-for-making-a-perilous-occupation-safer/ | 2022-01-22T12:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.947248 | 417 |

Women are launching businesses at a high rate in BizLaunch. From cyber security companies to health and wellness to engineering, women are starting and leading a variety of innovative businesses in the Arlington community. In fact, the number of women-owned businesses is growing at a rate five times faster than the national average.
March is Women’s History Month and BizLaunch will be celebrating our women entrepreneurs at two dynamic events.
First, we begin the month by kicking off our latest Brunch and Business Series: Celebrating the Sheroes of Arlington Business on March 6, 2019 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Arlington Economic Development. We will hear from three entrepreneurs as they share their stories of perseverance, dedication and hard-work. At this free event, you’ll have the opportunity to network and learn the diverse journeys of women who have lived their dreams of founding their successful businesses.
Next, BizLaunch is honored to co-host with SCORE DC our first regional Women’s Entrepreneurs’ Conference entitled weTHRIVE. The information packed conference will be held all day on March 21, 2019 from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at George Mason University’s Founders Hall. Women entrepreneurs will lead sessions on marketing, government contracting, access to capital and product development and launch.
Running a business is an amazing achievement of success. It is not easy. Nor is it for everyone. Many of our women entrepreneurs have great stories to tell as they journey to embody their dreams. In the words of Anne Sweeney former President of Disney ABC, and Co-Chair of Disney Media, “Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.”Topic: BizLaunch | <urn:uuid:8c73708e-ed62-4a63-af7a-5b97340187de> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.arlingtoneconomicdevelopment.com/resources/blog/small-business-focus-celebrating-the-sheroes-of-business-during-womens-history-month/ | 2022-01-22T12:45:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.955189 | 395 |

Split Jerk Balance: Technique Primer
One of the trickiest parts of the split jerk for many athletes is moving into the split position without shifting the entire body and balance forward. The jerk balance is a helpful technique primer to encourage the proper balance and motion.
With the bar racked, step into your full split to ensure you know where you’re going, and feel that position and balance for a moment.
Step back about a third of the split length to establish the starting position for the exercise. If you’re having trouble, start only a foot length back. Be sure you’re balanced evenly between the two feet.
Dip straight down, drive straight up, and push the bar into the proper overhead position behind the neck as you lift only the front foot and step out into the full split. When you land, your balance should immediately be equal between the two feet.
Keep your chest upright and push the bar back relative to your trunk—think of moving the hips and foot forward under the bar rather than the chest. This will help you step into your split without leaning and shifting forward, while still establishing the proper overhead position.
Immediately before your jerk session, do 3-6 sets of 3-5 reps using an empty bar or light weight—never load heavier than what allows you to perform as perfectly as you’re capable of.
When you move on to your jerks, focus on replicating the reach forward of only the front leg, chest up, and equal balance on the feet. | <urn:uuid:619bc0b6-2e5f-4d48-8954-398c7b5d7722> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.catalystathletics.com/video/1511/Split-Jerk-Balance-Technique-Primer/ | 2022-01-22T12:15:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.908108 | 315 |

The transcriptional alterations we recognize affect pathways crucial for b-mobile functionality which includes Ca2+ -mediated exocytosis. These conclusions are in distinction to a modern research which reported that insulin secretion problems in late technology mTR2/2 mice are due to a lower in insulin beneficial cells . Our ex vivo scientific studies reveal that quick telomeres are enough to lead to insulin secretion defects even when b-cell amount is intact. Our knowledge guidance a product exactly where limited telomeres induce senescence-associated gene expression adjustments in b-cells this software contributes to faulty signaling and clinically manifests as impaired1380087-89-7 glucose homeostasis. Quick telomeres are canonically known to trigger degenerative illness by inducing a loss of stem cells [10,16]. Our conclusions suggest that, in some options, even when mobile mass is preserved, small telomeres compromise organ function. Our information consequently provide proof for a novel system of telomere-mediated ailment in which short telomeres can compromise organ homeostasis in the absence of overt cell reduction. In the Akita mouse we show that in the setting of ER anxiety, limited telomeres cause additive damage that results in decline of b-cell mass. Limited telomeres are a strong inducer of cell dying , and in the existence of ER stress, the additive injury signals from each telomere dysfunction and the misfolded protein response evoke an apoptotic system that is in any other case not clear in the presence of limited telomeres by yourself. In distinction to the glucose intolerance we noticed in male mTR2/2G4 mice, we did not identify baseline impaired glucose tolerance in feminine mTR2/2iG4. This observation is reliable with the identified enhanced penetrance of b-cell mediated diabetes in male mice . ER pressure and decline of b-cell mass arise in the late levels of diabetic issues [two]. Our information reveal that quick telomeres cooperate with ER anxiety to worsen diabetic issues severity and, because they accumulate with age, might lead to the progressive pure history of diabetes which culminates in bcell reduction. As a result equally the senescence and apoptotic downstream effects of telomere shortening add to the b-cell degenerative phenotype. We identified an enhanced incidence of diabetes in a tiny cohort of DC people with quick telomeres. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis sufferers, who also have limited telomeres, have been described to be much more inclined to develop diabetes [37,38,39]. Diabetic issues incidence is regarded to be increased in other syndromes connected with DNA problems which includes Fanconi anemia where 10% of people are impacted [forty]. Its association with DC, if replicated in much larger cohorts, would propose that, in addition to bone marrow failure and fibrotic conditions, diabetic issues may well be a manifestation of telomere-mediated disorder in syndromes of telomere shortening, albeit at decreased penetrance. In contrast to the bone marrow failure phenotype which is well known in the placing of small telomeres, our facts indicate that telomere reserves restrict the operate of tissues of somewhat slow turnover these kinds of as bcells. How do we make clear that short telomeres limit the function of tissues of gradual turnover One particular design is that though b-mobile have sluggish turnover, they nevertheless bear various fold growth by adulthood . As a result despite the fact that the basal proliferation fee is sluggish, mobile turnover superimposed on genetically decided shorter telomere length may be enough to precipitate organ dysfunction. It is also achievable that, in2830636 addition, small telomere duration could be a initially insult that decreases the threshold for sustaining additional harm that accumulates with age these kinds of as ER anxiety, as our info suggest. The genetic evidence we display thus supports that telomere perform is necessary for the integrity of tissues of sluggish turnover, and suggests that telomere shortening performs a position in a broader spectrum of distinct age-connected conditions than beforehand appreciated. In summary, brief telomeres restrict insulin secretion by affecting international b-cell signaling in the environment of senescence. With ER pressure, limited telomeres cause elevated b-cell apoptosis and decline of b-cell mass. | <urn:uuid:d268244c-f26a-4046-9c54-81731e130eda> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.dot1linhibitor.com/2016/09/26/our-data-identify-impaired-signaling-and-exocytosis-as-a-novel-system-of-telomere-mediated-illness-and-establish-telomere-shortening-as-a-probable-genetic-risk-aspect-for-diabetic-issues-contributing/ | 2022-01-22T12:00:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.922287 | 885 |

Even though we’re all in the Thanksgiving mood here at the Hill House (oh so patiently waiting for Sweet Potato Casserole), I have the next set of Tracing Worksheets for Preschool.
This time they are Winter themed!
We don’t usually see super cold days for a good stretch until January, but I’ve got these printed and all ready to roll for my 2 3/4 year old Bub.
My sweet boy loved the Fall Tracing Worksheets, and I have no doubt he will love the change of pictures on the Winter set.
While he does often pick up a crayon or pencil (or Sharpie 🙄), we mostly used these as finger tracing pages during our small snippets of school time throughout our morning.
I place them in a page protector, and we go over finger tracing the lines together. I also am careful to make sure he does the finger tracing with the letters so he can start learning how to properly make letters.
No writing C’s starting at the bottom!
Winter Tracing Worksheets for Preschool
→ I’ve included a free 2-page sampler of the packet at the bottom of the post. You will find 2 of the colored pages for your little one to trace and practice!
Each page includes fun winter themed pictures with a connecting tracing line. I also included a capital and lowercase letter of the beginning sound of each picture.
A note about the word ‘skate’: Yes, I agree that the word skate technically starts with a consonant blend, however, to keep this more simple for the preschool crowd, I only included the letter S.
There are 20 pages included in this Winter Tracing Packet:
— 5 colored pages of Portrait orientation
— 5 black and white pages of Portrait orientation
— 5 colored pages of Landscape orientation
— 5 black and white pages of Landscape orientation
** This set of tracing worksheets would complement the Letter Formation Cards beautifully!
All Access Pass members can download this entire 20-page packet in the All Access Pass area.
Using Winter Tracing Worksheets
There are many different ways you can use these winter tracing worksheets with your young learners.
Aside from the obvious of using a pencil and tracing the lines, here are a couple of ideas to get you started, whether you’re in a homeschool or classroom setting:
- Use these pages in your small groups – everyone completes a page at the same time and then shares their page with others
- Set up a winter center and use these tracing pages as the main item – decorate each station with the item in the picture (You can often find small erasers to match at the Dollar Spot at Target!)
- Place these worksheets in page protectors in a 3-ring notebook. Your child can reuse these over and over with a dry erase marker.
- Forget the pencil for awhile! Use glitter glue, markers, Twistables, colored pencils, crayons, or any other writing implement other than a pencil to complete the tracing. Makes for a nice change of pace!
- Use these worksheets as I will do with my 2 1/2 year old – place them in page protectors and practice “drawing” on the lines with a finger. You could also have your child trace the lines with a Q-tip, or a small block or pom pom to improve dexterity.
How will you use these tracing worksheets with your young ones? I’d love to hear in the comments!

Who Handles Real Estate Transactions in Massapequa?
There is much that goes into a real estate transaction. It is necessary to take due diligence to ensure the seller has a clean title to sell the property.

It is also vital to assure that the property is in good condition with no unwelcome surprises. This usually calls for a building inspection with all conditions disclosed in writing.
Further, as real estate contracts do sometimes go awry, it is wise to include mediation or arbitration procedures for economical and speedy dispute resolution. Our Massapequa real estate lawyer can assist you with all of these matters. With real world experience in real estate and construction issues, we are well-versed in this area of law.

Mr. Quail is here to listen to your concerns and answer all of your questions regarding real estate transactions.

Like most of the other infections in the body, ear infection too is caused by bacteria or virus. Most of the times, this infection is in the middle ear. The infection in ear leads to various discomforts including pain and tugging at the ear, fluid coming out of the ear, difficulty in responding to sound correct, difficulty in sleeping as well as headaches, fever and even vomiting and diarrhea. Left unattended, ear infections can prove to be damaging as your eardrums may get ruptured and if there is a chronic recurrence of infection, you may even go deaf though this is an extreme case to happen. Because we always take note of any discomfort felt in any of our body parts. Same is the case with an ear infection. As soon as you feel anything that gives a clue about infection in your ear, you should take help of well-established home remedies to cure it.
Natural Remedies For Ear Infection
1. Ear Infection Remedies Using Garlic
One of the studies conducted by Washington State University says that garlic is one hundred times more effective than two very popular antibiotics when it comes to elimination of bacterial strains responsible for food-borne illness. The study also says garlic works faster than any of us might think of. This study, thus, recognizes the age-old practice of using garlic as the first and the foremost home remedy for ear infection. If you still have a doubt, consider the fact that garlic has in itself the components called alliin and allinase. These components are a natural anaesthetic. There are quite a few ways in which you can use garlic to get relief from an earache and inflammation due to infection.
Garlic Home Remedy for Ear Infection #1
- Garlic cloves (peeled)- 2
- Mustard Oil (or sesame oil)- 2 tbsp
- Add the garlic cloves to oil.
- Heat the oil till the cloves turn black.
- Put off the flame and let the oil cool down till it becomes lukewarm. A temperature of the oil should be such which you can bear when it is poured into your ear.
- Strain the oil to discard the burnt garlic cloves.
- With the help of a clean (preferably sterilized) dropper, pour few drops of this garlic oil into your infected ear. You can even use a small spoon to pour the oil into the ear. You may or may not use a cotton ball to plug your ear so that the oil doesn’t come out of the ear.
Garlic Home Remedy for Ear Infection #2

- Place the medicated cloth on to your infected ear for few minutes.
2. Ear Infection Remedies Using Basil
Basil is a super anti-bacterial herb. If basil leaves are places somewhere, the surrounding environment gets clean of all the micro-organisms that may prove harmful. This is the reason why most of the Indian homes have a basil plant in their homes. If this herb is so effective, why not use it to cure your ear infection too. It can relieve you of the ear pain along with reducing infection. Here are some ways to use basil as a home remedy for ear infection.

3. Ear Infection Remedies Using Onion
Onion is one thing from the kitchen, other than garlic, that has been used since ages for an earache and ear infection. The same thing (read fumes) that make you cry while you cut onions may be the magical thing of onion that makes an earache vanish faster than you can imagine. While you can pour onion juice in the ear to eliminate the infection or you can make an onion compress. A choice is yours.
Onion Home Remedy for Ear Infection #1

- Pour few drops of this onion juice into your infected ear.
- Repeat this for twice or thrice a day.
Onion Home Remedy for Ear Infection #2
- Cut an onion into two halves.

- Now take the warm onions and wrap them into a cotton or woollen cloth (do not use synthetic cloth).
- Hold this cloth against your infected ear for about 10 minutes or till you feel the onion getting cold.
- This onion compress not only relieves you of ear ache but also prevents recurrence of ear infection.
4. Ear Infection Remedies Using Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil obtained from the Australian tree Melaleuca Alterniflora is known for its excellent anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral and antiseptic properties. This is an essential oil and an essential oil should be used in a diluted form. In case of ear infection, this oil can be mixed with a carrier oil like almond or olive oil.

5. Ear Infection Remedies Using Mullein Oil
Native to Europe and Asia, Mullein is flowering plant used as a herb for various medical conditions such as coughs, congestion, bronchitis, eczema etc. not forgetting earache and ear infection too. A study conducted on 171 children having ear pain way back in the year 2003 showed positive results. These children were administered with ear drops made with mullein, garlic, calendula, St. John’s wort, lavender, Vitamin E and olive oil. These children got relief from ear pain for three days. So, if you or any children at your home suffer from an earache or ear infection, you can make your own mullein oil at home. Here’s the recipe.
Make Infused Mullein Oil for Ear Infection Remedy
- Dried Mullein – Handful of it
- Garlic cloves (crushed)- 2-3 cloves
- St. John’s wort- a handful of it (you can even take this powdered herb from 5-6 capsules but dried herbs are the best)
- Calendula flowers- 1-3 (optional)
- Vitamin E oil- ¼ tsp
- Mason jar- 1
- Olive oil- enough to fill the jar leaving only half inch from the top.
- Take the clean mason jar and put mullein in this jar.
- Add all the other herbs- St. John’s Wort, Calendula flowers and garlic cloves.
- Fill the jar with olive oil leaving only ½ inches space from above.
- Add the Vitamin E oil.
- Close the jar and let the herbs soak into it. This is called infusion.
- You need to let this soak for 2-4 weeks. (better to soak for 4 weeks and even longer than that if you have this patience.)
- Also, you must shake the jar every day without fail.
- If you see the oil getting lesser after some days, add some more. Mullein should be all covered with olive oil. A just ½ inch should be left at any time.
- After 4-6 weeks, strain the oil and store it another bottle.
- To use the oil, fill it in a small bottle with a dropper (sterilize the bottle and dropper by dipping them in hot water for at least 10 minutes).
- Pour 3-5 drops in your infected ear and let the oil rest there for about 15 minutes.
- Wipe off gently with a cotton ball.
- Use this infused mullein oil whenever you have an earache or ear infection. | <urn:uuid:fe058f13-ff7e-4f95-800b-b0837de77fd8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.rapidhomeremedies.com/remedies-for-ear-infection.html | 2022-01-22T11:29:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.902722 | 2,346 |
At a Press Conference on Tuesday, the Mayor stated "For too many Louisvilians, racism is a fact of daily life, a fact that was created and documented in our country's laws and institutional policies like segregation, redlining and urban renewal."
Fischer cited half a dozen statistics about racial inequity in the city, including that the poverty rate among Black people in Louisville is three times as high as the rate for white people.
"All of these and millions of other statistics and real life experiences tell us our systems are more than broken. They must be dismantled and replaced," he said.
In the Advancing Racial Equality proposal, the Mayor calls for a series of steps, including:
- Developing "behavioral health response teams" as a "non-enforcement" alternative or support to police;
- Establishing a plan to ensure every home has broadband and Wi-Fi access;
- Closing the Black pay gap and increasing Black employees in professional, managerial and technical positions;
- Advocating for a boost to minimum wages to a "living" wage; and
- Investing in homeowners and infrastructure improvements in disadvantaged neighbourhoods such as in the West End. | <urn:uuid:2e3d022c-3f7d-4ac9-9657-046716d32a2f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.rebelnews.com/louisville_mayor_signs_order_declaring_racism_a_public_health_crisis | 2022-01-22T12:40:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.96032 | 240 |
Police officers in Portland, Oregon are abandoning the force, taking a hit to their livelihoods to do so.
The large number of officers leaving the force is “unprecedented,” Assistant Chief, Michael Frome told the Portland Tribune. “We really have not seen this many people leaving at this stage in their career.”
Nine officers have resigned from the Portland police department since November, with another 14 officers preparing to leave by the end of January. Seven other officers have made initial filings in preparation for retirement. Approximately 25 officers are seeking to transfer to other police departments.
The departure comes after violence overcame the city for the better part of a year, sparked by the killing of George Floyd. Floyd died in police custody with fentanyl and methamphetamines in his system, after an officer rested his knee in Floyd’s neck while detaining him.
Following the death of Floyd mass riots swept across the States alleging systemic racism and police forces across the country, pushed by Black Lives Matter movement.
The movement sparked called the defunding and abolition of police. In June, the city council approved a $15 million cut to the police departments budget, reallocating the money into social programs.
The massive budget cut led to officers being laid off and cuts to its recruiter positions as the department did not have money to hire new officers. The department also cut vacant positions that it had historically held open in order to keep a steady stream of recruits and require 18 months of training to begin independent police work.
“When the cuts came in and we basically lost our vacancies, that put us in a bigger fiscal hole than we were anticipating being in,” Frome said. “We didn’t have the money to hire, so we laid off basically half of our background investigators. We laid off our recruiter, because we just did not see a position in the near future where we were going to be able to use them to capacity.”
Frome states that the department has been told to prepare for another $10 million cut to its police budget next year. The assistant police chief blamed the “defund the police” movement with the cuts to his department.
“For a lot of these people that are choosing to go somewhere else, they spent a lot of months this last summer constantly being yelled at to ‘Quit your job, quit your job.’” Frome said. “That cumulative toll on our officers, it builds up. So in some ways, yes, there is a win by those that would want the police to be defunded.” | <urn:uuid:aa33c2b6-90c4-4e1e-97df-4c6aff695f62> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.rebelnews.com/portland_police_abandon_department_after_calls_to_defund_law_enforcement | 2022-01-22T12:15:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.982654 | 540 |

Frequently asked questions
The best place to scrap car?
The best option for scrapping your car is to use an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). Authorised treatment facilities can issue a certificate of destruction and can advise the DVLA that your car has been destroyed.
Obtaining a certificate of destruction
You will receive a certificate of destruction immediately when you recycle your vehicle with an ATF. Keep the certificate in a safe place to prove the vehicle was scrapped.
How and when do I inform DVLA?
DVLA will send you a letter within four weeks, this letter will confirm that they know the vehicle has been scrapped and that you’re no longer responsible for it.
If you do not receive a letter, Call DVLA on 0300 790 6802.
If you broke up the vehicle yourself, you must continue to tax it or declare it off-road (SORN). A SORN must be renewed each year until the vehicle has been taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), or no longer own it.
Is your car not worth fixing?
When repairs cost more than buying a new car, breaks down or fails MOT, you should consider recycling your older vehicle. If your older car is beyond repair you can take your vehicle to an ATF and be paid scrap value for it. Repairing an old car can get expensive and it’s more financially viable to scrap your car and buy a new one.
Are you scrapping your car, van, lorry, 4×4 or vehicle today? If yes, contact Reclamet today for a fast top price quote.
What documents do I need?
The documents needed to sell your car at an Authorised Treatment facility include:
- V5C Logbook
- Owner manual and book pack
- Part or full-service history
- A Certificate of Destruction (COD)
When an ATF agrees to scrap your vehicle, they will issue you a Certificate of Destruction (CoD). A Certificate of Destruction is a legal requirement to prove your vehicle has been scrapped by an Authorised Treatment Facility.
Do I need to pay to scrap a car?
No scrapping your car is usually free at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). An Authorised Treatment Facility is also known as a scrapyard or breakers yard and specialises in end of life vehicle recycling. We offer a price match guarantee here at Reclamet and free scrap car collection for Thanet and the surrounding area of Kent. Cars and vehicles can only be scrapped at ATF’s as they hold a special licence issued by the Environmental Agency – DVLA.
What identification do I need?
Identification, which can either be:
- Great Britain or Northern Ireland photocard driving valid licence
- U.K. or EEA valid passport and utility bill (not mobile phone), bank or building society statement, credit or debit card statement, council tax letter, documents of no more than 3 months old.
BREAD card (we can issue)
When should you scrap a car?
People usually scrap their cars if they fail an MOT, break down, need expensive repairs, or cannot find a buyer.
If your car isn’t road safe you could end up with a fine or points on your driving licence. So if your car has seen better days, then contact Reclamet today.
Scrapping your car responsibly will ensure it’s properly recycled without damaging the environment.

Life has an interesting way of testing the worldviews that we hold. Simple moments such as project stakeholders who hold differing opinions, or team members who have established their approaches with no room for revision. At first, these moments may be jarring as we’re confronted with information that sparks the questioning of our personal ingrained biases, assumptions or ideas. Let’s be honest, nothing hits home like a good dose of introspection and reflection. Opening your mind to a new way of thinking, appreciating different ideas and opinions brings about a valuable opportunity for growth.
This year I received a recommendation to read Factfulness by Hans Rosling. The book was filled with enlightening facts that sheds light on some of the most generally believed worldviews. Using statistics and facts, Hans showed that things are not as bad as they may seem. One of the quotes stood out to me was:
“I want people, when they realize they have been wrong about the world, to feel not embarrassment, but that childlike sense of wonder, inspiration, and curiosity…“
– Hans Rosling, Factfulness
This got me thinking about my own worldviews – which ones I should continue to hold and the ones I should discard. I reflected on my own past behaviours, actions and responses when my opinions and frames of thinking had been challenged. I also contemplated on the importance and need to cultivate my sense of curiosity and what that may afford me in terms of growth and development.
My thoughts shifted to the industry and professions that we navigate on a daily basis. As consultants we interact with a myriad of stakeholders who we need to influence and get buy-in from in order to progress to the next checkpoint in the project. These times often bring about conflicting ideas, opinions and perhaps the realisation that there are smarter ways of approaching problems. Jointly, feelings of embarrassment and doubt creep in as we contemplate all the things that we should have known, done or said. And, there lies the sweet spot. The opportunity to tap into that sense of curiosity, understanding and to invite dialogue to discover alternative styles and reasoning.
The dynamic nature of our profession calls for individuals who have the tenacity to think critically, and to improve their knowledge and skills through continual learning, unlearning and relearning.
As consultants we are continually faced with the need to upskill, and we need to take the initiative to keep up to date with trends, tools and methodologies. This sense of learning enables us to critique existing information, processes and code to deliver immediate value on projects. Given the explosion of information and technologies this skill has become increasingly beneficial.
In order to effectively improve our knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis requires a healthy self-awareness. As a consultant you need awareness of the knowledge and skills that serves you, the knowledge that does not, and the knowledge that you still need to acquire or skills you need to develop. We can achieve this by unleashing the opportunity to unlearn old frames of thinking by being aware and open to new information. As Hans Rosling noted, looking at the world with a curious eye may offer up the freedom to rediscover. What may have worked in the past may no longer be valuable, appropriate or successful in the current context.
Unlearning creates a space for relearning, by laying the foundation for fresh information and learning. This allows for new and more productive ways of approaching work which may complement your existing knowledge and skills. The context that you work in and how it may have changed, provides a good basis for understanding the new methods, tools and skills that may be useful in your projects. For consultants, the ability to adjust and adapt is essential for thriving in today’s competitive business landscape.
Learning, unlearning and relearning is the proverbial constant change that consultants need to be intentional about. Reflecting and re-evaluating our deep-rooted assumptions, beliefs and reasoning as consultants will enable us to successfully navigate the workplace as it continues to shift and transform.

There’s no question that the financial benefits of selling a house are outstanding today. Now is truly a great time to list if you’re ready to make a change. But if you do sell your house right now, you may be wondering where you’ll go when you move.
With so few homes available to buy right now, you might be considering building a new home as one of your options. But you may be unsure if that’s the way to go. Let’s compare the benefits of a newly built home versus moving into an existing one, and why working with a real estate agent throughout the process is mission-critical to your success no matter what you decide.
The Pros of Newly Built Homes
First, let’s look at the benefits of purchasing a newly constructed home. With a brand-new home, you’ll be able to:
1. Create your perfect home.
If you build a home from the ground up, you’ll have the option to select the custom features you want, including appliances, finishes, landscaping, layout, and more.
2. Cash-in on energy efficiency.
When building a home, you can choose energy-efficient options to help lower your utility costs, protect the environment, and reduce your carbon footprint.
3. Minimize the need for repairs.
Many builders offer a warranty, so you’ll have peace of mind on unlikely repairs. Plus, you won’t have as many little projects to tackle. QuickenLoans puts it like this:
“Buying a new construction vs. existing home typically means you’ll have fewer repairs to do. It can be a huge relief to know that it’s unlikely you’ll have to repair the roof or replace the furnace.”
4. Have brand new everything.
Another perk of a new home is that nothing in the house is used. It’s all brand new and uniquely yours from day one.
The Pros of Existing Homes
Now, let’s compare that to the perks that come with buying an existing home. With a pre-existing home, you can:
1. Explore a wider variety of home styles and floorplans.
With decades of homes to choose from, you’ll have a broader range of floorplans and designs available.
2. Join an established neighborhood.
Existing homes give you the option to get to know the neighborhood, community, or traffic patterns before you commit.
3. Enjoy mature trees and landscaping.
Established neighborhoods also have more developed landscaping and trees, which can give you additional privacy and curb appeal. As Investopedia says, if you buy an existing home:
“Odds are, too, that the home will have mature landscaping, so you won’t have to worry about starting a lawn, planting shrubs, and waiting for trees to grow.”
4. Appreciate that lived-in charm.
The character of older homes is hard to reproduce. If you value timeless craftsmanship or design elements, you may prefer an existing home. According to Houseopedia:
“Charm is priceless. Existing homes, especially those built in the 1950’s or before, often offer architectural elements, historic charm and a quality of craftsmanship not available in new homes.”
The choice is yours. When you start your search for the perfect home, remember that you can go either route – you just need to decide which features and benefits are most important to you. Working with the guidance of your trusted real estate advisor will help you make the most informed and educated decision, so you can move into the home of your dreams.
If you have questions about the options in your area, let’s discuss what’s available and what’s right for you, so you’re ready to make your next move with confidence.

Conservation status: IUCN – LC (Least concern); CITES Appendix II.
Geographic range: Australia, Eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Solomon and Vanuatu Islands. Introduced to Hong Kong.
Physical description: These average-sized parrots are 25 to 30 cm large and typically weigh between 120 and 160 g. Lorikeets have very colourful feathers. Both genders look alike and the most effective way to ascertain gender is DNA testing of their feathers. The young have a black coloured beak, which gets orange with age.
Biology: Lorikeets have a distinctive brush-like tongue helping them to lick nectar and pollen. They are very social, playful and active. Rainbow lorikeets live in groups of 50 to 1000 individuals. They land on the ground very rarely but are great travellers, capable of flying about 30 km without landing. They can be aggressive towards other birds especially when protecting their food and can destroy the nests of other parrots. These parrots breed monogamously during the southern hemisphere spring (September-December), building nests in tree hollows or in gaps between rocks. Usually, they lay 1-3 eggs that hatch after approximately 25 days and are taken care of by the female of the pair. Some lorikeet species are considered as pests.
Lifespan: In the wild 12 years, in captivity 20 years.
Food habits: Fruit, blossoms, nectars and pollen. | <urn:uuid:05986c27-c4a0-438c-ace9-49f505fad2a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.zoopark.lt/vilnius/en/gyvuneliai/rainbow-lorikeet/ | 2022-01-22T11:28:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303845.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122103819-20220122133819-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.938757 | 312 |

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid,
nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)
God has led me through some frightening times...times of not knowing what the future will bring.
Maybe even more frightening have been the times when I knew exactly what the future was going to bring.
And there is more frightening times and more uncertainty facing me right now.
Yet God has commanded us...commanded...that we not be afraid.
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." (Romans 8:15)
Woodrow Kroll writes "Lessons for Living"
A child had to walk each evening past a dark, spooky house. Some adult
friends tried to give him courage. One handed him a good-luck charm to
ward off the ghosts. Another installed a light at a particularly dark
corner near the house. A third took a more spiritual approach, saying,
"It's sinful to be afraid. Trust God and be brave!" It was good advice,
but not much help. Then one friend said with compassion, "I know what it
is to be afraid. I'll walk with you past the house." Instantly the child's
fears were gone.
"Lucky charms" don't work, mantras don't work.
It is because we are adopted children of God that we know that He walks with us.
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. (Psalm 18:32)
So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:6)
Do not trust men...they will fail you Only God will never fail. And He will walk with you through the scary parts.
You can go through life thinking that there will always be somebody there - a "rock" - but that's not true.
Sometimes, it's just you...and God. | <urn:uuid:080af791-b5a6-48a6-aeae-f41ad0267ff8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://mzellen.com/2009/09/21/ | 2022-01-23T21:13:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.974339 | 457 |

It’s a well known fact that there is no remedy for hair loss. In case you’re developing a bald spot or your hair is thinning a bit, absolutely nothing short a hair transplant can give a permanent solution. Whilst there are tons of possible options to surgery, all of them will take a moment to start reducing thinning hair and hiding bald spots.
The great thing is there are several different kinds of products which can immediately hide hair loss, and conceal baldness. These special hair loss concealer products can all mix seamlessly together with your existing hair to produce a perfectly all-natural appear.
Hair Thickeners / Fatteners
The very first form of concealer simply tries to make every hair follicle appear fatter, or heavier. The thought the following is that a heavier hair strand covers much more surface area and reduces the appearance of bald areas. These items can often be in the form of a shampoo or conditioner, but there are several specialized heavier hair scalp treatments as well. This is actually the simplest form of baldness concealer and is best used in combination with mild thinning hair and incredibly small hairless areas.
Spray on Hair
Often referred to as “hair within a can”, these sorts of items work as a sort of topical squirt paint and merely attempt to hide bald areas through making them exactly the same color as surrounding hair. The most famous brand name, Good-looking Hair (GLH), has become a staple of television buying for several years. While simple to use, and relatively inexpensive, spray on hair is vunerable to operating or being afflicted with moisture.
Keratin Hair Fibers / Sprinkles
Hair is manufactured out of a proteins called keratin, much like these specially dyed and statically charged synthetic fibers. After being used, or “sprinkled on” the fibers combine to existing hair strands (even very fine, difficult to see types) and offer an entirely all-natural include for bald spots and thinning hair. The major advantage right here would be that the fibers actually look like really tiny hair particles, so when they are applied the appearance can be really all-natural and practically undetectable.
Topical cream Shading / Head MakeUp
Topical cream shadings are applied directly to the skin of the head in order to face mask the appearance of balding. This is actually a cosmetic item nearly the same as make up that comes in a variety of colours to blend with current hair. This kind of product is frequently popular with Hollywood make-up musicians for its ease of use and effectiveness.
Many of these products can be applied in conjunction with other hair loss therapy products including scalp treatments like Minoxidil, and shampoos or hair development vitamins. No reason to easily take thinning hair when there are several affordable, quick fixes towards the problem.
Permanent make-up is the ability of implanting tiny colours in to the dermis. It is a cosmetic tattoo design which simulates conventional make-up for lips, eyes, brows and cheeks. A female can enhance her appears using this technique but still look natural. Other brands for your process include permanent cosmetics, cosmetic tattoo design and micropigmentation.
Some women would rather have makeup colors implanted instead of using make-up daily. This may even be beneficial to ladies who have difficulty applying makeup because of bad vision or physical impairment. Should you be responsive to fragrance and additives in traditional makeup or have an active or hectic lifestyle, permanent cosmetics may be considered a solution to suit your needs.
If you have scant eyebrows, permanent makeup for that eye brows finishes the irritation of drawing brows evenly everyday. Addititionally there is no requirement to be worried about failing to remember to attract your eyebrows, or in case you have just washed one brow away. Cancer tdktcc who have lost their eye brows and eyelashes from radiation treatment can go through lash improvement and have their eye brows tattooed. They can consider comfort that undesirable modifications for their face functions are kept as low as possible in spite of their sickness.
Permanent make-up for eyeliner is particularly attractive to ladies who wear disposable lenses. This is because this procedure places an end to inflammed eyes from topical cream eye liner, smudging and streaking, and residue collections in the corners in the eyes. | <urn:uuid:ca07461d-4a7c-4f1d-881e-ec3db647d63f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.fake-gaming.net/8009/cover-up-bald-spot/ | 2022-01-23T20:58:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.955486 | 897 |

January tends to be a month of blogger's block for me - I really do take a break from shopping during the holidays, which leaves me with nothing new to share in January. While NEW things aren't the only things I can share here (and I am all for being frugal and working with what I have), even creatively I feel dried up after the holidays.
That is why January is the perfect time to look back on the outfits shared in the past year and share my favorites!
So ready or not, here they come...

Know how our greatest thoughts come to us when we're half asleep at night and we're too cozy under the covers to do anything about it? Well, I also remember random things at this time of night - random, silly, and insignificant things.
Before the holidays, Cody's company had a cookie swap. We were settled into bed, talking about said swap (for whatever reason), and after asking him endlessly about what kinds of cookies were there, I randomly had a memory of little me eating my weight in Stained Glass Windows.

One challenge I have when it gets cold here in New England is footwear. Winter boots just don't go with pinup style. I mean, petticoats and Ugg boots? No, thanks. I mean, I'm so not an Ugg boots kind of a gal, but you catch my drift.
In the past, I've worn my beautiful flats and wedges as long as I could. In-between snow storms, I still trudged on in my beloved warmer weather shoes with tights pulled over my legs. I'm learning it just doesn't cut it on those frigidly cold days or nasty wet days when the roads are covered in slush.

The frequency of appearance in the Sun-Mars opposition is one-seventh of conjunction. The same result would occur on the collected charts from all over the world. Why? This is not an astrological anomaly, but an astronomical phenomenon.
Astrology from Observation
We understand things by observing facts. It’s no exaggeration to say that everything begins by observing phenomena. The same goes for astrology.

When comparing to the western myth and culture, there are a few stories, poetry, and gods relating to the stars in Japan. However, there are many of them associated with the Moon and the Sun. The reason most likely can refer to the farming culture in which Japanese history built. In ancient Japanese myth, the Goddess of the Sun bestowed an ear of rice to people. In the old-time, knowledge of configuring the particular date by the Moon and the Sun for farming was necessary, such as vernal equinox for seeding and the autumn equinox for harvesting.

You can spot the posts of your favorite Instagrammers and Facebookers even before you look to see who posted them. Your eye goes right to them. And that’s no accident. It’s good branding.
On-brand and on-message posts attract and inspire you to click through, leave a comment, learn more, or even buy now. They also give you the feeling of being a part of a community, part of a conversation about something meaningful to you.
This is the kind of connection you want to make for your organization or your own artistic practice.
“It’s not rocket science,” says Katy Carrier, cofounder of The Social Bar, a boutique agency specializing in content creation and social media strategy and management. “But it does require specialized attention.”

The experts from The Social Bar will teach you how to:
• Create and curate on-brand content
• Tell your story through images
• Optimize your social media advertising
• Promote your brand on Instagram
• Attract organic growth
• Learn effective engagement tactics

The nonprofit California Desert Arts Council presents this social media workshop for arts and culture marketers as well as individual artists and creative professionals. Carrier and Paquette launched The Social Bar, whose client roster boasts some of the top hospitality and culture brands in Coachella Valley, because they were doing it so well independently — Carrier with her Palm Springs Style magazine and Paquette with boutique hotel properties in Palm Springs — that other businesses asked if they could do the same for them. “They want our secret sauce,” Carrier says.
“A lot of our clients had marketing and PR but lacked specialized attention to social media, which is where you can directly engage with your community. That’s so important,” Paquette says. “You want to be a standout on social media, not a click-through.” | <urn:uuid:ef222655-f9bd-499c-bd9c-1e8b44f45906> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cadesertarts.org/2018/06/workshop-the-secret-sauce/ | 2022-01-23T20:34:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.939132 | 479 |
What data flow DSS are available to tune performance of batch execution?
I currently have a data flow properly configured to run in batch across multiple nodes.
Currently, in the topology (under decisioning -> infrastructure -> simulation landing page), I have enabled the thread count for the relevant nodes (3) and set the thread count to 3 (increasing it any more does not seem to yield that much more performance gains, possibly due to server hardware constraints/config? Please advise).
As it is right now, we are running about 50 records over the course of 1-2 minutes and of course want to speed this up and am wondering what is the limiting factor to the current performance.
I know previously I had to manually increase the batch size from 1 to 250 in 7.2.2 but we are currently in 7.3.1 so that may have already applied, if not - would be happy to try this.
Our system admins have noted during batch execution, the CPU utilization goes up to 91% as well. | <urn:uuid:521a2161-2c53-4ab7-8f3c-0eccceea3eee> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://collaborate.pega.com/question/what-data-flow-dss-are-available-tune-performance-batch-execution | 2022-01-23T20:33:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.96392 | 209 |
Hi - in our location we are gradually moving into Tomcat/JBOSS application servers and away from Websphere. In the past we used the websphere agent with PMI enabled and monitored the web container thread pool size as a key alert metric.
In Tomcat, as we don't have PMI, we are looking at the "Threads|Active Threads" metrics. What we are seeing is that the value just grows and grows, it doesn't appear to reset until a server restart. So as a monitoring metric we aren't getting any value from it.
Any ideas/theories about why this metric value just grows upwards ? We think it may be that the thread objects are left on the heap and not gc'd, and the agent is returing that number as the "Active Threads" value.
We have tried to do a thread dump via the Investigator option but this is not allowed as the thread dump total stack trace exceeds 12,000 - is that a configurable value so we could increase it to get a thread dump in this way ?
In 10.1, we have very significantly upped the limit on the number of lines a Thread dump can contain (I believe it’s now 200.000). Prior to 10.1, you can up this value up to 25.000, this property controls it:
Configure the maximum stack elements the Thread dump can have,
If the user configures the max stack elements beyond 25000,
The property is reset to the default value of 12000 | <urn:uuid:7c60e6e2-3d5c-4002-969d-d8c789b528b7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=1999&MID=760385&CommunityKey=be08e336-5d32-4176-96fe-a778ffe72115&tab=digestviewer | 2022-01-23T20:58:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.899485 | 346 |
Pike Place Market Time Lapse

Retinol: Can improve skin's overall texture and reverse the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Peptide Complex: Gives a visibly firmer appearance, for a younger-looking, springy bounce to the skin.
Tripeptide-1: Stimulates the skin to behave as if it's younger, by signaling receptors to create new collagen from within.
Vitamin C: Helps to improve the appearance of darks spots & gives you brighter-looking, glowing skin.
Argireline: Assists in preventing the muscle movement that leads to wrinkle formation. One of the peptides that optimizes the function of collagen, to help fight fine lines and improve hydration levels in the skin.
Arbutin: Inhibits pathway that causes hyperpigmentation, leading to brighter and more even skin tone.
Rose Oil: Anti-inflammatory and moisturizing for dry skin.

After their meeting with Barbara, Genevieve asks Leah if they can stop by the cemetery where Jean-Claude’s remains are to see about having Rosalind’s ashes interred there. After speaking to the staff, they decide to have an impromptu memorial service for her the following Tuesday. Leah gets a hotel room for them and sends out emails to as many of her contacts who are still in the area as she can recall. One insists on meeting with them Thursday evening.
“She wants to get together tonight?” Genevieve asks. “Why not tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow night won’t work for her,” Leah says. She shows Genevieve the email.
“Ah. I get it.”
That evening , they head to a kosher pizza place just outside Cambridge where they find Esther Gershon waiting for them.
“Dr. Walker,” she says when she sees Leah.
“Dr. Gershon,” Leah says as they hug. “Do you know Genevieve?”
“Yeah, as a kid. You’re all grown up now. Sorry to hear about Rosie.”
“Thanks,” Genevieve says. “Nice to see you again.”
Looking between them, Esther says, “Finally, my questions are answered. I always wondered how Rosie ended up with a kid so quickly.” To Genevieve, “It’s probably by the slimmest of chances you don’t look like me.”
“Wait, you knew?” Leah asks.
“I suspected,” Esther says. “Rosie wouldn’t tell me anything, but I knew her history. Of course, I have no idea how complicated this must have been.”
“Complicated is an understatement,” Genevieve says.
“The devil is always in the details, isn’t it?” Esther says. She leans toward Genevieve. “You should probably cover your ears, kid. Between the two of us, we know more about Rosie than any two people on the planet.”
“I would have to agree with that,” Leah says.
“Not a problem,” Genevieve says.
“What’s good here?” Leah asks.
“What isn’t?” Esther says. “You pretty much can’t go wrong, observant or not.”
“How’s the beer?” Genevieve adds.
“You won’t be finding out,” Leah says. “I’m pretty sure they don’t want to lose their liquor license.”
“They do have non-alcoholic on tap,” Esther says. “It’s not bad. In fact, I’m having that myself.”
“Esther Gershon drinking non-alcoholic beer?” Leah says. “Now, I’ve heard everything.”
Esther shrugs. “Domesticity agrees with me. Who’d have thunk it?”
“Speaking of which, where is the lucky lady?”
“Hannah has a class. She’s teaching at Boston College. You’ll meet her Tuesday.”
The waitress comes over. Esther points to a non-alcoholic selection. “Me and the cub will have a pitcher of this. Leah?”
“Glass of Merlot.”
Once the waitress goes, Esther claps her hands together and says, “So, here’s the plan. Once we’ve decided on dinner, we’re going to spend the evening terrorizing Genevieve with all sorts of horror stories about her Mom, and she’ll fill us in on the later days of Rosalind Duchard. Sound like a plan?”
“Works for me,” Genevieve says. Leah nods. | <urn:uuid:78abccdf-e303-4556-a7d5-478765f9cccf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://gmlupo.com/2021/10/04/worthy-leah-genevieve-at-mit/ | 2022-01-23T21:26:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.959247 | 902 |
In this article we are going to talk about causes of diabetes, the effects that it has on the body, the types of diabetes that are put there and address the myths that surround this illness.
All about diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that affects the pancreas, the organ that is in control of the body’s blood sugar level. When the pancreas is unable to create the amount of insulin needed this is directly linked to high levels of blood sugar, or what we call diabetes. Insulin is the thing that allows glucose to be absorbed into the body in order to produce energy.
There two types of diabetes that are the most common: type 1 diabetes, which occurs in children from a very young age and type 2 diabetes that happens mostly due to very poor diet decisions that lead to high levels of sugar in the body.
The main cause of diabetes has been narrowed down to genetics. There are also a number of factors that need to be taken into account which can trigger diabetes, such as poor dietary choices, a lack of sleep and even not exercising on a daily basis. There is no clear evidence that diabetes affects just one type of people, anyone can have it.
When it comes to the symptoms, people that have type 1 diabetes will experience them right away whereas type 2 diabetes can take even years before it sets in and usually people only know that they have it when they start to have heart problems or when they start to have a blurry vision.
In order to live with this illness, one should adjust his or her dietary style in order to include more fruits rather than fast-food options, exercise regularly and keep their blood sugar levels always in check.

Going to a spa can be extremely expensive and even doing DIY spa stuff can get pricey. So how can you transform your home into a relaxing spa without it breaking the bank?
You will need to take a trip to your local dollar store and Target to do this and I promise it will be cheap (as long as you don’t end up like me who goes into Target for one thing and comes out with stock in Target)!
What you will need:
• Bubble Bath (most dollar stores have safe bubble bath for kids, this will work just fine)
• Baby Oil (I’ve seen small bottles of baby oil at many dollar stores and this can be used for massages)
• Foot Soak/Epsom Salt (this might be dollar store brand but as long as it has the same ingredients as leading brands as well as safe ingredients you should be fine)!
• Nail Polish (if you don’t have nail polish at home then grab some dollar store nail polish, they sometimes have brands like Milani, Revlon, Maybelline and more)
• Face Mask (Que Bella, and Miss Spa are fairly affordable starting at $1.17)
• Bath Bomb (Zoella is only $4.50 which is very affordable for a bath bomb)
• Grab a Hask (hair masks are great to do during a spa night, I recommend Palmers Coconut Oil hair mask which is $1.39)
• Grab some lemons, limes, cucumbers and mint to make detox water and also cucumbers can be put over the eyes.
• Rose Water mist (Garnier has one for $6.99)
All of this would cost about $20 and that is saving you a lot more than if you would have gone to an actual spa! You can use dollar store baby oil to get a massage from your significant other or look up ways on YouTube to massage yourself. You can then wash off with dollar store bubble bath and an affordable bath bomb to make your bath time enjoyable. During your bath you can even do your hair mask. If you want to turn it up a notch then pour yourself a glass of wine (as long as you are of age to drink) play some relaxing music and light a candle. Then when you get out of the bath you can spray your face with some rose water and do a face mask with some chilled cucumbers over your eyes.
After, you can drink some detox water while soaking your feet in epsom salt or a foot soak from the dollar store in your bath tub, a personal foot spa or even a rectangular container from the dollar store. Once you’ve finished your foot soak then you can do your nails! And voila you have just had yourself a nice DIY at home spa night that won’t break the bank!
I hope you enjoyed this post and comment below what you like to do to make your spa night relaxing! | <urn:uuid:197db296-00c3-4a4e-ab15-00efcd53c39e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://nottooshabby-chicfashion.com/2018/04/25/diy-at-home-spa-night/ | 2022-01-23T20:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.940044 | 631 |
When Daphnée Karen Floreal founded Bijou Lakay in 2006 she had a vision: Creating outstanding jewelry from sole natural materials while preserving Haitian manufacturing tradition and supporting local families. Over the past 15 years Bijou Lakay did not only achieve all of these but also transformed the Haitian fashion industry.
DARING. INNOVATIVE. SUSTAINABLE.
Each piece crafted by hand, Bijou Lakay’s jewelry combines contemporary Caribbean design with centuries old art and ancestral production methods, handed down from previous generations.
“I chose bullhorn as main material because it is one of a kind, super lightweight and versatile,” Daphnée explains. “And I wanted to keep the procedure alive that only a handful of Haitian artisans is still familiar with and in possession of the old rudimentary equipment needed to manufacture our jewelry items.”
Bullhorn is one of the most difficult natural materials to work with and these artisans learned from their elders and are bruising and burning their hands every day with a work they dedicated their lives to. The main entrant, bullhorn is repurposed from the food industry to reduce waste. There are no chemicals involved in the process. Just heat and oil turn the horn pieces into shapeable plates and the ready to wear item gets its shine through water polishing only. That’s it! Each Bijou Lakay jewelry item is the result of a complex yet handcraft process from scratch to finish which doesn’t cause any kind of pollution nor create hazardous waste.
Daphnée Floreal’s stunning and unique designs have been part of numerous fashion shows in Haiti and also overseas, like France, USA, Brazilia, Barbados, Suriname, St Marteen, Jamaica, Trinidad, Mexico, Amsterdam, Spain, etc .
Throughout the journey Daphnée Floreal and her brand Bijou Lakay’s stunning designs received recognition by numerous institutions, as Forbes Magazine or IDB.
Bijou Lakay has launched in april 2021, her new collection named Danse Deyes.
Danse Deyes is an ode to the free-spirited queen. It is an anthem of hope and a reminder that all women who are still alive are Goddesses. We should celebrate every day our unicity and our beauty.
This collection was designed, listening to Haitian root music from some artists and groups like Riva Percil, Sara Jane Rameau, Azor and Ram. It is strongly influenced by Haitian and country culture, the layout of certain “veve” and especially Haitian folk dance. Some pieces have emerged from the recycling of pieces from old collections. Others symbolize the contribution of both natural and scientific medicine in our daily fight against covid19.
And finally, some jewels from this collection remain a song of hope for better days. I want every woman wearing the pieces from this collection to feel glamorous and unique. It is a collection of light, gratitude, and transformation. | <urn:uuid:bda9f5c6-149c-4654-b6a3-995c5ca0bf21> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://nycjewelryweek.com/virtual-booth/bijou-lakay/ | 2022-01-23T21:04:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.936665 | 636 |

The incidence of chronic kidney disease and its progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) differs between genders, so it can be surmised that the incidence of ESRD is different between men and women. We analyzed the annual incidence of ESRD by gender for a 20 year period, from 1983 to 2002, using Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT) registration data. The annual incidence of ESRD was calculated as the number of incident dialysis patients divided by the census population of the previous year in each gender, and expressed per million of each population (male and female). In men, the incidence of ESRD increased from 99.9 in 1983 to 330.2 in 2002, whereas it was 66.6 in 1983 and 184.9 in 2002 in women. The difference of incidence of ESRD from men to women increased from 33.3 in 1983 to 145.3 in 2002. The mean age at the start of dialysis was 51.5 years (men) and 52.5 years (women) in 1983, it increased to 63.8 years (men) and 66.1 years (women) in 2002. The difference in mean age increased from 0.9 years in 1983 to 2.3 years in 2002. There was no clear relationship between the available dialysis station per 100,000 population and the men to women ratio in the prevalent dialysis patients among the 47 prefectures. The acceptance of dialysis therapy might not be strong enough to explain the increasing difference in ESRD incidence between men and women in Japan. Differences in the socioeconomic conditions and lifestyles between men and women, which might be related to the gender difference in incidence in ESRD, should be studied further. | <urn:uuid:2892261c-a058-4306-b610-48a914c82764> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16202016/?dopt=Abstract | 2022-01-23T22:57:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.960305 | 354 |
A division of the Walt Disney Co. is hosting a drag queen story hour event aimed at the children of employees, with the intention of celebrating the “gender fluidity of childhood” while providing kids with “unabashedly queer role models,” according to screenshots of internal emails seen by Breitbart News.
The emails come from Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, a company division that oversees Disney’s streaming services, including Disney+ and Hulu. The group also encompasses advertising as well as theatrical and TV distribution.
“Drag Queen Spooky Story Hour” is scheduled to take place virtually on Wednesday, according to an invitation sent to employees. The Halloween-themed event will capture “the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood,” and will give kids “glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models,” the email said.
One employee told Breitbart News that some Disney colleagues have voiced concerns over the event, “though I believe only amongst themselves, feeling that it is inappropriate for Disney to promote this content for employees with children to participate in.”
“Nobody is obligated to participate to my knowledge. But some were shocked that this would even been sent [from] the Company to employees,” said the individual, who asked to remain anonymous.
A spokesman for Disney didn’t reply to requests for comment from Breitbart News.
The event is the latest instance of Disney embracing and promoting gender non-conformity.
Earlier this year, Disney+ hosted a LGBTQ Pride concert starring drag queen Nina West, with performances of popular Disney songs re-imagined with LGBTQ themes. The parade featured alumni of RuPaul’s Drag Race as well as some gender “non-binary” performers.
Disney-owned Hulu also acquired the transgender teen sports documentary Changing the Game, which follows three transgender teen athletes as they seek to compete not as members of their birth gender but as the opposite sex.
Drag Queen Story Hours have become increasingly popular throughout the world, having started with drag queens reading to small groups of children at public libraries. The readings are now sparking protests by parents who object to their children being indoctrinated into transgender and gender non-conforming ideology.
As Breitbart News reported, a Milwaukee County children’s court judge who served as CEO of a foundation promoting Drag Queen Story Hours was arrested earlier this year on tentative charges of possession of child pornography. | <urn:uuid:a21a4e5b-8148-4d65-a55b-2c8788bc7739> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://rs-dfw-bb2.ha-hosting.com/entertainment/2021/10/26/exclusive-disney-division-hosting-drag-queen-story-hour-for-employees-children/ | 2022-01-23T21:35:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.954946 | 503 |
