Go Green Day at City Energy
City Energy provides energy and carbon saving initiatives to households across the UK. Therefore, it’s no great surprise that we are an environmentally conscious organisation and so City Energy and our network proudly supported Size of Wales by getting involved in Go Green Day, their annual climate change awareness day.
We had a green picnic and cake sale during lunch. There was all sorts of food from delicious green cupcakes, to the slightly more Roald Dahl-esque inspired ‘snot’ sandwiches and ‘slime’ pasta!
All the team were encouraged to wear green too of course! Whilst our customer-facing staff were a little more subtle in their support (green hair ties or green shoe laces for example), the office-based staff went all out even painting nails green and wearing green eyeshadow.
One brave member of the team even volunteered to either dye their hair green if we managed to raise £200, or have a bath in green jelly if £300 was raised!
Unfortunately, we didn’t reach the target on this occasion, but it has set our expectations higher for next year. We did however raise £82.34 and we are delighted to hear about Size of Wales’ match fund. They double every pound that’s donated for forest projects meaning our donation and contribution has been doubled to £164.68!
Going forward, we will continue to look for ways to be greener, both externally and here in the City Energy office. | <urn:uuid:55faa84c-368c-413c-b502-a66f4e6751cf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://sizeofwales.org.uk/city-energy-go-green-day/ | 2022-01-23T20:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.969017 | 315 |

The #TappeCommunity doesn't just strengthen other communities through our architecture - we are continually growing our own.
Past subjects of our Community Builders Academy include:
- Construction Administration
- Architectural Trips/Conference Recaps
- Revit Standards
- Code Compliance
What better way to get kids interested in architecture? Tappé leadership provides direction for the BSA annual event where children (and their parents) learn about design, construction, permitting and city planning by making their very own buildings in a city. https://kidsbuild.org/
Tappé participates in the phenomenon known as Canstruction, a way for the AEC industry to support local food banks. We creatively source and execute a model based on the year’s prompt, and then donate the canned goods. http://canstruction-boston.org/
Our employees routinely volunteer at a number of Boston area community service centers. From Cradles to Crayons to the Open Architecture Collaborative to the Greater Boston Food Bank, members of the Tappé family love to support the communities we live in. We are also a proud supporter of Public Radio, providing support to WGBH and paneling on NHPR shows
Community Builders Academy
On a regular basis, we gather Tappé staff together to discuss and learn. Led by an expert who helps us to engage and expand our understanding of a subject, we strengthen our in-house community.
Public Radio goes hand-in-hand with Libraries as incubators for the spreading of ideas and connecting people.

As a member of the Board of Directors for the North East Contact Center Forum, I have the opportunity to speak with a number of Customer Service Managers, Directors and VP’s across multiple industries and geographies. The most common theme among these leaders is the intricate balancing act of providing extraordinary experiences while reducing expenses (and sometimes juggling regulatory risk and/or time constraints).
I have battled with the same dilemmas myself. Over time, I have learned to ask myself and my colleagues a few questions:
- What do you coach your service representatives on?
- What are the common conversations in your team and all-hands meetings?
- What is it that your CEO/COO/VP of Customer Service is evangelizing?
More often than not, the answers sound like: call quality, customer experience, superior service, etc.
Some time later, I follow up with another set of questions:
- What are the key metrics that you look at daily?
- How do you incent your service representatives?
- What are the metrics that your boss (whether he or she be the CEO or someone else) are hammering you about?
These answers usually sound like: service level, AHT (average handle time), 50-75% of incentives involve productivity numbers, expenses, cost per account/loan/customer, etc.
Things that make you hmmm.
What you talk What you walk
The terms [triple/quad constraints] and charts are typically used in project management, but apply to our quandary. One constraint cannot be changed without altering another. Triple or Quad constraints are funny; everything cannot be the most important or the highest priority. Trying to make everything the highest priority will only drive you and your service representatives crazy. It leads to mediocre quality, often subpar cost metrics, low morale, and CEO’s/COO’s/VP’s of Customer Service breathing down your neck.
With all of that in mind, how do you move (walk) forward?
1. The first step for any recovery program is to admit you have a problem.
- Be objective.
- Ask your floor representatives what they think you say and what you really focus on.
- Listen to calls, review chats, and emails (are your associates rushing, taking too long?
2. Force rank your current priorities (create the order that you believe you are presently working under)Everything cannot be equal
- Everything cannot be equal
i. Quality (call quality, defect management, complaints, customer incident surveys)
ii. Cost (AHT, service levels, cost per X, expenses, utilization, occupancy)
iii. Time (are new product releases critical? Service availability?)
iv. Risk (regulatory/legal, credit, reputational)
- Make sure you have accurate differentials – use an entire 1-5 scale
3. Have an honest, direct conversation with senior management about what is the most important priority, what is the second most important priority, and so on.
Now that you have your direction, you need to determine what you are going to change. (Hint: don’t limit yourself to the base of the box, work the edges. Read Seth Godin’s Linchpin for more on that subject.)
- People – Do you have the right people in the right places to succeed? Do you need to reorganize? How would you incent people to deliver your priority? What do you need to communicate to your associates?
- Process – What processes would you change? What metrics would you highlight? What dashboard items need to change?
- Systems – How can you leverage your technical solutions to maximize your priorities?
Are you able to walk your talk? Or do you need to change your talk?

ESPN Announces Alternate Monday Night Football Telecast Starring Peyton & Eli Manning, Potentially Coming to ESPN+
ESPN has figured out a way to do something no other sports broadcasting company has — get Peyton Manning in the booth.
Today, ESPN announced that Peyton Manning, along with brother Eli, would host an “alternate broadcast” of its flagship football broadcast, Monday Night Football, starting in the 2021 season. The brothers will host 10 games per season from a remote location and will be joined by current and former NFL players, as well as other miscellaneous celebrities. This deal will continue through the 2023 season.
Each Peyton and Eli-fronted MegaCast will be distributed on ESPN2, with potential for additional distribution on other Disney properties including ESPN+, complementing Monday Night Football’s traditional telecast, which will continue to be available on ESPN and/or ABC each week. Together, the two viewing options will expand the reach and audience of the historic NFL television franchise.
“Offering multiple Monday Night Football viewing options for the next three seasons continues our innovation efforts and provides additional value for our fans,” said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN and sports content. “Peyton and Eli will bring a different approach, delving into a conversation about broader, big-picture topics while also honing in on the game, much like fans do when watching with their family and friends.”
The MegaCast will be a joint venture between ESPN and Peyton’s Omaha Productions, named for his signature audible call while playing QB for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. Omaha Productions also produces “Peyton’s Places,” and will now also produce five more “Places” shows, starring Abby Wambach (soccer), Eli Manning (college football), David Ortiz (Major League Baseball), Ronda Rousey (combat sports), and Vince Carter (NBA).
“This partnership with ESPN and The Walt Disney Company reflects an ongoing, shared commitment to offering fans fun, innovative content,” said Peyton Manning. “ESPN+ has been a terrific partner for Omaha Productions as we built out The Places franchise and we’re excited to co-create a new MegaCast format that will have something for everyone.”
Peyton and Eli’s MegaCast broadcast will debut the first three weeks of the 2021 MNF slate (Baltimore at Las Vegas, Detroit at Green Bay, and Philadelphia at Dallas) and continue seven other weeks during the season, to be announced. | <urn:uuid:3483cef8-436b-4ec9-9cb9-cf1c95d4211f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://thestreamable.com/news/espn-announces-alternate-monday-night-football-telecast-starring-peyton-eli-manning | 2022-01-23T20:50:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.944204 | 524 |
Scandal has closely followed Thailand’s new King. As Crown Prince, Maha Vajiralongkorn made headlines for giving his pet poodle a military rank, ordering a takeout meal from a Thai restaurant 6,000 miles away in the U.K. and having a penchant for crop tops and yakuza-style temporary tattoos.
In October, the now 64-year-old succeeded his revered father Bhumibol Adulyadej as sovereign of the 70 million–strong Southeast Asian nation. With Bhumibol’s passing, Vajiralongkorn inherited the world’s largest royal fortune, once estimated at $30 billion. However, the deep love his father earned over seven decades of dutiful rule will be harder for Vajiralongkorn to acquire.
The thrice-divorced Vajiralongkorn’s eccentric lifestyle is a source of great anxiety for Thais, who hold the monarchy in high esteem as a figurehead and guarantor of stability. Thailand is America’s oldest ally in Asia, and its imperfect yet enduring democracy serves as a beacon for the downtrodden citizens of its more authoritarian neighbors. The world waits to see how Vajiralongkorn will use his power at a time when junta rule is entrenched and dissent brutally quashed.

Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke, is about this dragon that’s named Drake Fire that went off because all of the other dragons turned to stone. In this adventure the dragon finds a human boy on the way. They fly over the globe to find the dragon rider’s tome. They meet many creatures that help the in the journey like dwarfs and a sea serpent. Drake Fire had to be brave to save his people from being stone forever by fighting the golden dragon who turned the dragons into stone. I’d do the same for the human race in this situation. Drake Fire was scared that he’d be extinct, and I would feel sacred if I was going to be extinct as well. I can also relate to the child that’s helping the dragon. This book has suspense and action along the way so the reader can be entertained. All in all Dragon Rider is a great book to read. | <urn:uuid:59108d46-b6cc-4291-ae8c-b4a2ba1e5f9e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ulleseit.com/book-reviews/dragon-rider/ | 2022-01-23T21:51:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.969318 | 197 |

Owner Max McCammond has run a “traditional” maid service for almost a decade.
He said he came up with the idea for Jockstrap Maid Service in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which turned his Sugar Land home in Houston into “party central” for his power-deprived pals.
The reponse towards the male maid service exploded from the get-go. The only choice was to take the enterprise national and the best way to do that was via an effective and agressive online presence.
So, Jockstrap Maid Service then teamed up with nVisionMax Media of Los Angeles to develop a Jockstrap Maid Service Web site that was quite intuitive to use and great looking too.
Founded by an MIT graduate, the team at nVisionMax “did everything to make our vision a reality.” “They were just fantastic,” Max comments, “Think about it, you can order up your chef, hairdresser, just about anything these days, so why not a maid?”
At last count, almost 35 different U.S. cities think it’s also a pretty good idea. Las Vegas is just one of them, at present featuring two hunky men.
Supposedly, it’s not a bad gig. Las Vegas Backstage Access checked out a Jockstrap Maid Service in Houson that was paying $50 per hour with a two-hour minimum. Part timers were accepted for day and night. However, the educational requirements were you had to be smart. Oh, well.
So, if you want, log on and check out the newly launched maid service that’s stirring up more business than your dust bunnies.
And while we’re on the subject of unique Web sites, there is a new one that for free tracks what you’ve borrowed from others or loaned out. Like for panties and other unmentionables. http://www.returnmypants.com/ | <urn:uuid:92799609-db91-4b35-b06a-ee326bb2f1dc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://vbablogger.com/2009/12/04/ | 2022-01-23T21:56:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.96332 | 417 |

Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth can lead to problems if there isn't enough space for them to surface or they come through in the wrong position.
Wisdom teeth also known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth. Wisdom teeth typically appear around a person's mid-twenties but can erupt much later. It the wisdom teeth doesn't have enough space symptoms can occur. The wisdom teeth may only partially erupt or might not come through at all. Dentists designate wisdom teeth 'impacted' if they are wholly or partly blocked from eruption into the mouth. The tooth may lie at an angle and remain tipped against an adjacent tooth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems like pain and swelling; The mouth could ache when stretched open wide or it may be difficult to open your mouth. Tenderness when chewing and biting may occur. Earaches may develop from the spread of pain in the mouth. Symptoms may be intermittent but can begin anytime without warning.

Alon Matas, founded the business in 2013 after seeking therapy for depression. Better Help.Combc… He discovered that most people who need it weren’t getting assistance. Elements such as lack of gain access to, schedule, expense, trouble, and fear make in-person therapy challenging for many people. Online treatment platforms like BetterHelp make every effort to use a simpler, more comfortable, and more inexpensive way to get help.|BetterHelp is the largest online treatment platform worldwide. Online therapy platforms like BetterHelp aim to use a much easier, more comfortable, and more budget friendly method to get aid.}

According to the CDC, 40% of American adults experienced psychological health or drug abuse problems during the coronavirus pandemic. It took a substantial toll on more youthful adults, vital workers, people of color, and caregivers. While online therapy became the only choice for many throughout this time, positive experiences assisted many people recognize that it’s a practical alternative in a post-pandemic world, too.
All of us can benefit from talking with a therapist. Everyone deals with challenges in life that can obstruct of our joy or become obstructions to our objectives. And in some cases, when goals themselves alter, we need help coping and browsing with challenging emotions.

Its services are just as cost effective and structured as the parent business, however therapists with Pride Therapy specialize in supplying treatment to individuals in the LGBTQIA community. Pride Counseling also protects your personal privacy and privacy as carefully as BetterHelp.
perhaps someone else that you’ve understood in the past great work ethic really an assertive communicator simply appears generally like he knows what’s going on with life has whatever determined so now that we have these images in mind of somebody with depression and someone that seemingly doesn’t wish to shift equipments a bit to speak with you about a working alcoholic we have actually all heard this term so what does it imply when we say someone’s an operating alcoholic or generally referring to someone that most likely does have some sort of issue with alcohol but they’re able to preserve their task they’re able to keep relationships household but the problem I guess is that often they’re unable to maintain those things in healthy ways and it’s really challenging in some cases to identify a functioning alcoholic because they are able to keep some aspects of their life together so jumping

Aaron Rodgers' 'uncertain' future hangs over Green Bay
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers said he's not sure what his future holds in Green Bay.
That was all it took to raise concerns about the Packers' ability to contend in 2021 and beyond.
Green Bay earned the top seed in the NFC behind an All-Pro season from Rodgers, who at age 37 put his team in ideal position to win its first Super Bowl since the 2010 season and the second of his brilliant career.
But the Packers' season ended with a dispiriting 31-26 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Sunday's NFC championship game, and it didn't take long for questions about the team's long-term commitment to Rodgers to resurface. | <urn:uuid:7ff8e789-e410-4926-921c-073cff6c2ede> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.cbs58.com/news/aaron-rodgers-uncertain-future-hangs-over-green-bay | 2022-01-23T22:05:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.975928 | 156 |

How can I find out my blood type (blood group)?
To find out your blood group, a sample of your blood has to be taken and tested. However, GPs do not routinely check people's blood groups.
You can also find out your blood group by giving blood.
When is someone's blood group checked?
Healthcare professionals sometimes need to know a person's blood group for medical reasons.
If you need a blood transfusion, the blood group you receive must be compatible with your own blood group.
Your blood will therefore be tested before you receive a blood transfusion to make sure you are given a matching blood group.
Giving someone blood from the wrong group can potentially be life threatening.
If you're pregnant it's also important to know if you are rhesus negative or positive. Find out more about rhesus disease.
Healthcare professionals will also check a person's blood group before they:
- give blood
- have an operation (surgery)
- donate an organ for transplant
Give blood and find out your blood group
Your blood group will be checked if you give blood through NHS Blood and Transplant, and it will be recorded on your official donor card.
This is so your blood can be matched to someone with the same blood group or a group that is compatible. | <urn:uuid:785cff72-f80e-4193-ab82-8df132c4e58b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.doctoori.net/health-information/common-health-questions/health-question/?chq-question=how-can-i-find-out-my-blood-type-blood-group | 2022-01-23T20:50:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.916965 | 272 |

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COURSE
The Certificate IV in Business Administration could be the right course for you if you are looking for a more demanding/rewarding entry-level course that better reflects your abilities. You will develop great administrative skills and a broad knowledge base in a wide variety of administrative contexts. As this is the next level up from the entry-level, your expected answers to assessments should match the increased depth and breadth of the content. It’s obviously more respected - and looks better on your resume - and it tells an employer that they can be confident you’ve got their Admin back!
You will be gaining confidence and skills. You’ll apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, and analyse information from a variety of sources. You’ll get to know the theory and understanding of what you can expect in a real-world situation. You’ll then submit your work for assessment with our Mentors, who will give you valuable feedback. This will give you the confidence to do whatever your boss asks in the Admin area. And, you’ll do this effortlessly, calmly, with control and with professionalism... at least, it’ll look like that!
You’ll also get a lot of confidence to prepare you for this style of work. You can learn how to lead a team, try a few things, get some more feedback from our Mentors, and then become really good at this before you take on the role. Or, if you have the experience, but not the qualification, then this is a perfect way to get the recognition you deserve. Then, you can talk to your Manager - confident in your new, recognised abilities from your Certificate IV in Business Administration qualification - and ask for that promotion/pay rise/or both!
The Certificate IV in Business Administration is a development level course, which means you can step up towards management, once you’ve got some good experience and you've shown how good you are! Some of our graduates head down these paths;
- Admin Manager
- Team Leader
- Senior Customer Service
- Executive Assistant
- Human Resources Assistant
- Marketing Assistant
- Real Estate
You’ll naturally get credit for what you do in this course. Upon completing a Certificate IV in Business Administration, you can continue your studies through the Certificate IV in Customer Engagement and/or Diploma of Leadership & Management or Diploma of Business. The credits you earn in this course can count towards further qualifications, which means it’s quicker and cheaper to advance to higher qualifications.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO COMPLETE?
The average dedicated student should expect to do 1 unit every 2-3 weeks. In a Certificate IV in Business Administration, there are 13 units to complete. So, you should expect around 8 months to complete. It’s OK to take longer, but there is a maximum time frame of 12 months.
There is no minimum time period, meaning if you have the time now to apply yourself, you can complete this course as fast as want.
Build your own course
With a Certificate IV in Business Administration, your future roles could get you a job leading a group of people in an Admin context. Or, in a smaller organisation, you could be the expert Admin person who knows how to run the place!

If Credit Cards looks matter…
A credit card used to be somewhat or a prestige 30 years ago, but these days, it’s status is somewhat like that of a university degree in Singapore – it’s almost essential to have one. With some 9.5 million credit cards in circulation in Singapore and more than 1 card average per person, it’s not so exclusive anymore.
While we love the practical aspects of credit cards, like just tapping it to pay at supermarkets, booking our air tickets online easily or redeeming rebates and getting free money back for our daily spend, there’s also something about having a coveted card that spells prestige and status. In fact, the credit card you have in your wallet can probably tell others what kind of person you are! So here’s our round-up of some of the credit cards that are so lust-worthy:
UOB Lady’s Solitaire Card
UOB has certainly got its target audience right – the day they started the UOB Lady’s Card, it was seen as a credit card for the successful woman. However, amidst all that rebates cards these days, we must say the rewards given by the UOB Lady’s card has been somewhat lacklustre.
So what best way than to glam up the card, since, in the first place, the card works more to enhance your personal brand than to provide you with practical rewards? After successfully launching the Lady’s Solitaire card, there is now a limited edition UOB Lady’s Solitaire Card in rose gold metal, by Vivienne Tam.
The beautiful metallic card is Singapore’s first and only designer ladies card but comes with a hefty $588 annual card fees. If you are thinking of a fee waiver, you gotta literally buy a car or pay down your home’s downpayment with it – S$100,000. The benefits though are really made for ladies who love a touch of lux in their lives:
- 10X UNI$ on shopping and taxi rides
- Free airport limousine rides and lounge access
- Free eCommerce protection
- Free weekend parking in selected malls on Orchard Road
While the privileges are sound and good, we can think little of how the might justify the annual fees; well, for the rose gold on that card perhaps?
AMEX Centurion Black Card
How can we leave this card out? The king of credit cards, the AMEX Centurion card is a by-invitation-only card and what makes it so special? The fact that there is no actual credit limit. Imagine that! And the card is only made more prestigious by the shroud of mystery surrounding it – there is little information on the actual privileges and qualifying criteria, making it one of the most, if not the most exclusive credit card.
All we know is that the card comes with a crazy annual fee of S$7,500 and that you need to spend some S$250,000 per year to maybe, earn that invitation.
DBS Insignia Visa Infinite
Touted as the world’s first metal Visa card, the card gives you a credit limit of S$1 million. Yes, you read that right. But you need to be drawing an income of $500,000 per annum though and it comes with an annual fee of S$3,000.
The elegant-looking card gives you Priority Pass airport lounge access, complimentary two-night stay in hotels around the region, and access to One Degree 15 Marina Club with a private yacht
Before you think that we are elitist, let us introduce a good-looking card that does not need you to be earning half a million a year. The card is the first quick read card in South East Asia, with a 16 digit card number which is vertically stacked in 4 rows, allowing you to read the card number more easily. so paying for your online or phone transactions has never been easier!
You also get up to 8% rebate on Weekday Dining & Entertainment, FREE Grab rides every weekend and S$80 cash credit when you sign up for UOB YOLO and up to 13% off at Expedia, Agoda and more, Free Travel Insurance Coverage (Up to S$500,000).
However, make sure you check out the credit cards offered by your current banking partner, as well as other banks in Singapore, you never know. Below you can find a link to each credit card provider available in Singapore. | <urn:uuid:72b36d5f-6921-4f72-8a07-69e891d555ad> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.enjoycompare.com/credit-card/the-best-looking-credit-cards-in-singapore/ | 2022-01-23T20:58:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.95333 | 936 |
Having a perfect pair of swim goggles is very important especially if you go to swimming on a regular basis either for body fitness or simply for fun. With these swim googles, you are able to swim through the different parts of the pool with a clear vision unlike if you dived into the water without them. Most pools contains high amounts of chlorine and this would irritate your eyes if you don't get a perfect pair of these swim googles. You will experience some vision problems and it is thus recommended that you get some quality swim googles.
There is a wide range of swim goggles in the various sport stores and you can always get a pair you are your swimming practices. However choosing a perfect pair of swim goggles from these options can quite be difficult especially if you are a novice swimmer. This article therefore provides some of the major tips that can guide you into making a perfect decision when you are out to get yourself some new swim goggles.
Factors to consider when choosing swim goggles
There are a range of factors that you should put into consideration when choosing a perfect pair of swim goggles. You can have a look at some of the major key considerations if you are planning to get quality swim goggles.
1. Types of goggles
Swim goggles are of different types depending on the purpose for which they were meant for and it is thus important to identify your need for the goggles to know the best choice to make. There are usually 4 different types of swim goggles which includes the competition goggles, recreational, practice and swim masks.
•The competition goggles are fitted with curved lenses to ensure a large and a clear vision for all swimmers. The lenses are able to stick on your eye sockets for a long time and hence keeping your eyes dry all along and thereby enabling you to move to any direction without any distraction.
Recreational swim goggles are cheaper as compared to the competition goggles. They are clear and the straps can easily be adjusted. However, this type of googles is not a great option for long swimming hours.
Practice swim goggles are similar to the competition googles and are recommended for beginners who are on a training schedule. Features of this kind of googles include a clear wide angle vision lenses, anti-fog and available in different stylish designs.
These are masks that are mostly designed for young kids. They are designed with different bright colors and hence providing enough comfort while swimming.
2. Type of lenses
The modern swim goggles are designed with different types of lens and it can be very difficult to choose the right one but this should not worry you either. We will briefly discuss some of these lenses to help make the right decision on the best choice to go for.
Clear lens- these lens provide maximum light for clear vision especially in dark environments. They are good for competition, recreational swimming or even for general body fitness. They are also fitted with a UV protection coating.
Metallic lenses- are dark-tinted to make it easy to swim in outdoor pools. They are best for regular training and competitions.
Coloured lens-goggles designed with some coloured lens offer different benefits. Purple lenses reduces glare in day lights and such goggles are perfect for recreational swimming. Purple lenses are also used for leisure but ate designed to contrast green and blue objects.
Mirrored/ polarised lens- mirrored lens are mainly designed to help reflect light away from the eyes and hence providing a low light view. These lenses are recommended for competitions and are suitable for outdoor environments. On the other hand, polarized lens can filter intense glare and can be used for all kind of outdoor weather conditions.
Smoke lens- these lens are perfect for light environments. They are designed to reduce brightness hence creating a darker view for bright swimming conditions. Amber lens changes bright light conditions hence giving a clear vision in the water.
Swim goggles are designed with either a single piece or a two piece frame. The two piece goggle frames are able to last for a long time but this doesn’t mean that the single piece frames breaks easily. You can also find some tough single piece frame swim goggles which are very durable.
The swim goggle gaskets are made using different materials and this determines their performances as well. Silicone gaskets are very durable and are also fitted with a hypoallergenic cushioning to provide much comfort. The foam gaskets swim goggles on the other hand are of high quality and are able to resist fog and can as well provide maximum protection for your face.
5. Strap types
There are different types of swim goggles straps and it is very important that you chose the best strap that can easily adjust. The best strap you choose should be in a split design to firmly hold on to the two separate pieces. Silicone straps are the most popular ones and are durable. There are also bungee cords straps which are easy to adjust and also available in different colors. Rubber straps are also availed but they tend to rip out your hair and can be painful while wearing.
6. Size and shape
Swim goggles are made in different sizes and shapes and it is important that you choose the perfect size and shapes based on your preferences. Do not go for a size that is too large and would only give you discomfort while swimming. Just get a perfect size and shape that you can comfortably swim with.
7. Swim goggle prescription
Prescription swim goggles are made for swimmers who have clear vision problems. If you are either short- sighted or far- sighted you can have may have great challenges while swimming. It would be hard to mark the pool lines or even see rocks and dangerous parts if you are swimming in open waters. However, this should not worry you since prescription goggles exist to help you have a clear vision in the water. There are different types of these prescription goggles and you can acquire the best goggles that can correct your vision problems. They are also made in different designs and colors and it is thus easy to choose the ones that are best for you.
Checking if the straps can easily be adjusted is a great factor to consider while buying a new swim goggles. This helps you to easily the goggles if they are too tight or even tighten them if you detect some leakages while swimming.
9. Type of swimming
The type of swimming that you regular prefer plays a vital role in deciding the best swim goggles to go for. You can either for the outdoor or rather the open water swimming which provides a bright light environment or go for the indoor swimming with a low light environment. Going for indoor swimming requires you to get clear swim goggles for clear vision. For outdoor swimming consider going for dark colored lens.
Comfort is the main factor to take into consideration while looking for a quality swim goggles. Are you comfortable using the swim goggles that you bought? If you do not find comfort in them then there is no need of acquiring them as it won’t take long before you get back in the sport store trying to find a better swim goggles. Therefore it is important that you test your swim goggles if they give you enough comfort before buying them.
Additional tips on getting quality swim goggles
It is always recommended that you first test the swim goggles you intended to acquire before you can make the purchase. It would be very frustrating to get some new swimming goggles only to find them leaking. Ideally check if the goggles are fully functional. You can use the tips highlighted here in to find out if they are the right pair to acquire.
Wear the goggles and figure out if the lenses are comfortable
You can simply know if the lenses are comfortable while wearing the googles by just pushing them against your eye sockets. Even if the straps are off the swim googles should be able to stick on your eyes for some time if they are of good quality. If the goggles can stick on your eyes, then it means they cannot allow any water leakage. However the lenses should not suck too much to give you enough comfort.
•Check if the straps can be adjusted easily
Quality swim goggles should have straps that can easily be adjusted in case you want to tighten or loosen the googles. If you find it hard adjusting them you can find a better choice to avoid frustrations in the pool.
Determine if the lenses are dark or light
Most swimmers will prefer light lenses but you can also go for dark lens -goggles if you regularly swim in bright environments.
As mentioned here in, choosing a perfect pair of swim goggles can be very tricky and therefore it is important that you consider the above factors to help you get a perfect solution for your swimming experiences. You will also need to try out different styles of these swimming goggles to find out the best selection that perfectly fits you. Usually high quality swim goggles are a bit expensive but you can also get some cheaper goggles that can work out well for you. | <urn:uuid:28d2d67c-e0f1-49f4-9409-b243ed5fe187> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.firesara.com/blogs/swimming/how-to-get-a-perfect-pair-of-swim-goggles | 2022-01-23T22:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.961849 | 1,841 |
Reading fans had to wait the full 90 minutes for a goal at Aston Villa but it was certainly worth it.
Around 1,000 made the trip to the Midlands to see Royals' second away game in three days.
Steve Bruce's Villa dominated the game for large spells and took the lead when Ahmed Elmohamady headed past Vito Mannone in the 51st minute.
It appeared the hosts would see out a comfortable win but Paul Clement's side had other ideas and a foul on substitute Josh Sims earned them a penalty deep into injury time.
Sam Baldock took the opportunity with both hands and converted the spot-kick for his first goal in Reading colours to send the away fans absolutely wild.
The loyal Royals celebrated the goal like a victory but the significance of the goal cannot be underestimated as it prevented the team from slipping to the bottom of the table.
football.london photographer Eddie Greville was there to capture the best of the fans in the stands.

Locals Love: Top Places for Fall Foods in the Indiana Dunes
Once the temperatures drop and the leaves turn warm hues of red, orange, and yellow, many people start thinking about one thing—fall flavors! Cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin baked goods pop up on restaurant menus and are paired with caramel or pumpkin coffees. It doesn’t end at sweets. Stews, soups, and casseroles are the main dish features at restaurants across the Indiana Dunes area.
We asked our locals where their favorite fall food spots are once autumn arrives. The winners were:
Red Cup Cafe
The restaurant with the most votes for best fall flavors is Red Cup Cafe & Deli in Chesterton. Everyone seems to have their favorite item at Red Cup and many locals said the best thing about the cafe is the laid-back atmosphere and the owner, Laura, herself. To understand the vibe of the cafe, you just need to read their coffee mugs, “Feeding Your Body. Nourishing Your Soul.” and “Sarcasm…just one more service we offer.” Customers, whether regulars or new visitors are treated like long-lost friends.
Every local who voted for Red Cup Cafe seemed to have their favorite menu item. They rave about the pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and the variety of fall muffins. Butterbeer, chai lattes, and specialty coffee drinks are a favorite as well.
Not all of the treats at Red Cup are sweet. Locals say the homemade quiches are some of the best in the county. The cafe also has a variety of delicious sandwiches on the menu. Of special mention is the Portabella Goat Cheese Sandwich which is loved by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
The cafe owner also believes in giving back to the community. She provides food for the local homeless shelter in the colder months and displays the art of local artists in the cafe year-round.
These other eight restaurants (in no particular order) round out the top places for fall foods according to locals:
Locals can’t say enough good things about Craft House in Chesterton. This casual restaurant serves craft beers on tap, specialty cocktails, and desserts large enough to share. One fall flavor that rose above the rest was Craft House’s Harvest Mule. This locally loved cocktail is made with spiced pumpkin vodka and ginger beer.

Dagger Mountain Roastery
Locals love this hidden away Valparaiso coffee spot. Dagger Mountain roasts its own beans in a renovated storage garage next store. Which fall flavor do locals love the most? The Spice Grrl Latte is the clear winner here.
Ivy’s Bohemia House
Amy Mackiewicz and Wayne Sydni opened Ivy’s Bohemia House in 2015. Amy has over 25 years of experience in the restaurant industry and brings Eastern European tastes to the menu. Her family’s polish sausage recipe, handed down for generations, is one of Ivy’s specialties. Wayne, a popular area muralist and long-time vegetarian, influences the menu by offering a variety of meatless options. Ivy’s also won the top spot for Locals Love: Outdoor Dining.
LePeep in Valparaiso has your morning fall flavors covered, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Depending on your mood, you can choose pumpkin pancakes, cinnamon swirl pancakes, gooey buns, or French Toast with “Mom’s Sassy Apples.” If you’re looking for something savory, the Chicken and Waffles will definitely hit the right fall spot.
Tiger Lily Cafe
Tiger Lily Cafe in Chesterton is a traditional and vegan cafe, so it’s perfect for groups with a variety of dietary needs. The pub sandwich (vegan) and shepherd’s pie (traditional and vegan) are popular choices year-round. The turkey cranberry wrap is a favorite for those who just can’t get enough of those Thanksgiving dinner flavors.
Valpo Velvet Ice Cream Shoppe
It might seem odd, at first, to think of an ice cream shop when talking about fall flavors, but not in Valparaiso! Locals love Valpo Velvet year-round. Their list of flavors changes throughout the year. Fall flavors include pumpkin spice, egg nog, rum raisin, and hot chocolate. Keep an eye out for special editions, too! When we polled locals about fall flavors, the shop’s Journeyman’s Bourbon flavor was a definite favorite!
Nothing warms you up like a rack of tasty ribs. Wagner’s award-winning fall-off-the-bone ribs and tasty sides will fill you up and leave you satisfied. This restaurant is 21 and older.
One dish was mentioned over and over by locals voting for 219 Taproom in Chesterton. The Thanksgiving Waffle! This waffle dish has turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce over a delicious cornbread stuffing waffle. | <urn:uuid:979c55bb-c658-4f8b-8638-c6775ac23744> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.indianadunes.com/locals-love-best-places-for-fall-foods/ | 2022-01-23T22:23:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.926673 | 1,112 |

Are you thinking about having trees on your property? Then, I hope you’re prepared to take care of them properly or they will just die.
Trees need maintenance and this is something that many people don’t know because they don’t take the time to search for several methods or information regarding their trees.

When it was 37 degrees a few weeks ago, I had to work late so my husband was the first home. He enquired with his mother, who was childminding, why there were no windows open. She said she 'didn’t know if that was something we did'.
His dad is obsessed with traffic. It is his main subject of conversation with his friends, and he will always know before us if my husband’s train has been cancelled. Imagine having the time and inclination to get up at 6.30am every morning and check your 39-year-old son’s train is running.
He is also obsessed with our bins. He rearranges them, squashes more recycling into fewer recycling bags, takes out stuff to keep. Shortly after having Deceptively Angelic Looking Child 2 I had to make him stop going through our bins because they were full of those enormous sanitary towels they give you in hospital. Used, of course. Worse (well, maybe not worse…) he takes stuff that isn’t rubbish. We found our old toaster in use in their garage. And don’t get me started on why the toaster is in use in the garage and not the kitchen. The point is we hadn’t finished with that toaster.
Recently, I took my mum to London to see Barbra Streisand. On the way she asked me if I could show her how to make a contactless payment. When I got over the shock that she had never made one previously (because 'she was scared it might go off in her handbag') I said I didn’t really need to show her, you just tap your card on the machine. But alas she did make me show her, one step at a time (FYI there is only one step). As we walked through Hyde Park a bird crowed and she stopped a woman to ask if she was wondering what kind of bird it was. The woman couldn’t speak English and for a few minutes I wanted to die as the woman tried to be polite as my mum KEPT TALKING TO HER about the bird in the tree that the woman hadn’t even noticed.
She is one for a fad with books like 'Becoming a Supple Leopard' dotted around her house; there is always a lot of one particular food, like five pineapples on the worktop the other week, or bags and bags of prunes the week before, or molasses the week before that, based on what she has read in the Sunday Times about them, and her YouTube search history is really quite something- lately she is obsessed with One Direction and Eddie Redmayne. Once I asked her where her bowls were. She said, 'bowls? What do you mean bowls?' Not only had she decided to get rid of all her bowls, she had erased their very existence from her memory.
We had a carpenter in recently to build a window seat in our bedroom. He was cutting wood in the front drive and had a little chat with my mum when she popped over. Then he went upstairs and continued his work. Thirty seconds later my mum went upstairs and thought he was a second builder and had the same conversation with him again. He even said 'That’s my identical twin downstairs' but she didn’t cotton on.
These are people who were doing important jobs just a few years ago.
Then of course there is Barbra herself, who sang Silent Night in July and at one point brought on her cloned dogs.
At the other end of the age spectrum I have to live with someone who cried yesterday because she 'didn’t know how to draw a pexagon' and someone who thinks it is normal to roll her peas across the dining table and catch them in her mouth in the style of Hungry Hippos.
Here’s to us, the ones in the middle, the workers, the ones keeping the economy going, the ones who don’t have time to put out their bins let alone ferret through them. The ones who have made a thousand contactless payments in the last year alone and, if typing in your PIN takes ten seconds, savour the 2.7 extra chargeable hours that has saved them. And here’s to Barbra Streisand. I won’t be cloning the Enormous Puppy any time soon but a little bit of me would like to be that awesome and crazy. | <urn:uuid:4ca54ba6-62c9-48fb-9642-6b7beb00dfd5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-and-opinion/blog-mother-in-law/5101170.article | 2022-01-23T21:49:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.987298 | 928 |
- 4 courgettes
- 6 spring onions, finely chopped
- 250g feta cheese
- Handful fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 small bunch fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tbsp dried mint
- 1 tsp paprika
- 140g plain flour
- 2 tbsp Lurpak® Slightly Salted Butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 125g frozen petit pois
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 4 limes
- 125ml thick Greek yoghurt
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- A small bunch of watercress (to serve)
COURGETTE AND FETA FRITTERS
Begin by coarsely grating the courgettes, then spread out on a tea towel and leave for about 10 minutes to get rid of any excess moisture.
In a bowl, stir together the spring onions, feta, parsley, dried mint, paprika and about half of the fresh mint. Then add the flour, two tablespoons of Lurpak®, salt and pepper. Add the petit pois, then gradually add the beaten egg and mix thoroughly before stirring in the grated courgette (don’t worry if the mixture seems lumpy, it’s meant to be like that).
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and drop heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening down with the back of the spoon as you go. Cook the fritters for about two minutes on each side until golden, then transfer onto a tea towel.
To make the dip, put the yoghurt into a serving bowl before adding the chilli flakes and the remaining chopped mint. Mix well and set to one side. Serve a couple of fritters per person with a dollop of the dip, a few sprigs of watercress and a slice of fresh lime. | <urn:uuid:3a15f711-7ba1-446b-a80a-f665f594a2e6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.lurpak.com/en/recipes/courgette-and-feta-fritters/ | 2022-01-23T20:51:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.851779 | 405 |

Arizona Wildcats wing Josh Green, an athletic multi-use player from Australia who turns 20-years-old just two days before the draft, has the sort of physical traits that all NBA teams need right now. Though he is young, he could be the perfect mid-first round pickup for the Dallas Mavericks.
Weight: 210 pounds
Standing Reach: 8’7.5”
- Quality catch-and-shoot ability, especially below the break and from the corners. Moves well along the perimeter to find the open space for a kick-out pass.
- The mechanics of his release need some improving, though the motion is consistent.
- Perhaps the biggest plus to his offense is his obvious ready-made role in the system.
- Very loose handles, both in the open floor and in traffic.
- He has the frame and length, but doesn’t play big enough around the rim and it resulted in poor finishing.
- High end defender, with an ability to guard all perimeter positions and maybe smaller power forwards.
- Active and engaged off-ball team defender.
- Has the IQ and athleticism to work in isolation and recover when he’s beat.
- Needs work defending around screens.
- Can sometimes overplay passing lanes.
Active Player Comparisons
If everything goes wrong: Stanley Johnson
If everything goes right: Danny Green
Most Realistic Outcome: Iman Shumpert, Danuel House
Stats and Accomplishments
Best Games Last Season
Nov. 19, 2019 vs Pepperdine: 24 points, eight rebounds. five assists, three steals (4-of-5 from three)
Feb. 20 vs Oregon State: 18 points, four rebounds, six assists, four steals (2-of-3 from three)
3 Key Things
Without a doubt Green’s way to earn playing time his rookie season will be his defense. He is a versatile defender, able to guard all three perimeter positions and likely small power forwards. He utilizes both active hands and quick feet, and is able to turn his hips quickly which can at times make him look a little too reactive. But he is highly adaptable in isolation and athletic enough to recover when he’s beat.
As a help defender he’s attentive and assertive. At times he can be a little too ball focused, requiring extra effort to track his man. But his timing and athleticism make him skilled in passing lanes, forcing deflections and turnovers.
His greatest area of focus has to be his work in the pick-and-roll, where he isn’t consistent enough fighting through screens and taking poor angles. But his instincts and lateral quickness should help him after more experience under his belt.
A foundation is here for Green to be a successful “Three & D” player in the NBA, but how his outside shot translates to the league isn’t necessarily a given. He shot 36 percent on 83 attempts in the shortened college season, not eye popping numbers.
The mechanics of his shot are consistent but needs refinement. His legs angle in during his prep, and the release is methodical. These factors combined could relegate him to only taking wide open corner threes in the league. Not the end of the world, but you’d hope for more versatility in how he gets his shot off.
One reason to snag a player like Green in the mid-first round is because there are no questions about his role. Half the battle in the draft is defining where a rookie slots in to the rotation, both present and future. But not with Green.
There are question marks for sure: Can his shot translate and improve? Can he improve his finishing around the rim? Will he take too many risks on defense?
But some of those questions ultimately are secondary to what he could be day one. He will guard scorers along the perimeter, using his energy to disrupt opponent’s rhythm. He fills his lane well in transition is always ready to attack off the outlet pass. He shows high IQ in finding passing lanes after the penetrating kick-out. And shows potential in straight line drives after overzealous closeouts.
Role with the Mavericks
The health of the Mavericks left a major question mark on their playoff run, but one thing is overwhelmingly obvious: they need wings. The backcourt rotation surrounding Luka Doncic — Tim Hardaway Jr. (pending player option), Seth Curry and a healthy Jalen Brunson — is solid as long as they replicate their production.
This isn’t the same for their wing depth: Dorian Finney-Smith is backed up by Justin Jackson and Delon Wright has found himself in bench purgatory after a disappointing season.
This is where a player like Green slots in seamlessly. Though he lacks much offensive versatility, he could easily slot into a spacing role awaiting Doncic corner passes. He can play both wing positions, and would be a nice defensive presence to relieve Doncic, and pair with Finney-Smith. With the health of Kristaps Porzingis in question, and Dwight Powell’s return pending, it’s easy to see Finney-Smith and Green share the floor together for a switchable athletic defensive duo.
Josh Green is a mid-first round talent because of his NBA-ready frame and defensive skillset. The potential of his shot improving would make him a fringe lottery talent. But alas, the outside shot is a question mark.
This would be a good pick-up for the Mavericks, dependent on who is left on the board at 18. Green may not have the highest of ceilings, but he’s a rotation player with fringe starting ability. If the Mavericks actually use this pick (up in the air), I think they look for someone that can contribute to a team need day one. Though he may not be at the top, I believe Josh Green is on that list. | <urn:uuid:c5794fc1-6448-407f-a016-8511e88c778c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2020/10/13/21508214/2020-nba-draft-profiles-josh-green-could-be-the-defensive-wing-the-mavericks-are-looking-for | 2022-01-23T22:28:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.964359 | 1,275 |

February 10, 2017 – Stopping diabetes by helping people understand
their risk for developing Type 2 diabetes is the ultimate goal of the
American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Alert Day on Tuesday, March
28. It also spotlights the 29 million Americans—and their families—already
living with diabetes. To increase awareness and help patients with diabetes
better manage their disease, Southeast Georgia Health System is offering
a series of four free classes in March on the Brunswick and Camden campuses.
“One in 11 Americans are living with diabetes today,” says
Sue Ullrich, R.N., MA.Ed., diabetes program coordinator and certified
diabetes educator (CDE). “People living with diabetes day-to-day
need a good understanding of how to self-manage their disease for a healthy
quality of life. Doing so also decreases the risk of complications associated
with diabetes including kidney disease, blindness, heart attack, stroke,
nerve damage and infections leading to amputation.”
The class schedule includes:
Session 1: On the Road to Better Managing Your Diabetes, 2 hours
Brunswick: Monday, March 6, 1:30 p.m.
Camden: Wednesday, March 8, 9 a.m.
Brunswick: Thursday, March 9, 5:30 p.m.
Session 2: Monitoring Your Blood Glucose, 2 hours
Brunswick: Monday, March 13, 1:30 p.m.
Camden: Wednesday, March 15, 9 a.m.
Brunswick: Thursday, March 16, 5:30 p.m.
Session 3: Diabetes and Healthy Eating, 3 hours
Brunswick: Monday, March 20, 1:30 p.m.
Camden: Wednesday, March 22, 9 a.m.
Brunswick: Thursday, March 23, 5:30 p.m.
Session 4: Continuing on Your Journey with Diabetes, 2 hours
Brunswick: Monday, March 27, 1:30 p.m.
Camden: Wednesday, March 29, 9 a.m.
Brunswick: Thursday, March 30, 5:30 p.m.
Although there is no cost to attend the March classes, a physician referral
is required, along with advance registration by Friday, March 3. To reserve
your seat, please call Diabetes Education in Brunswick at 912-466-1689
or Camden at 912-576-6488. Classes are taught by Sue Ullrich, R.N., MA.Ed.,
CDE, or Christina Miller, R.N., CDE. The Health System’s outpatient
diabetes education program has been recognized by the American Diabetes
Association for providing Quality Self-Management Education and Support. | <urn:uuid:f21cf5d9-d9dd-4832-bfc0-c84cc3e21a16> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.sghs.org/News-Center/2017/February/Living-Well-With-Diabetes-Free-Classes-Offered-i.aspx | 2022-01-23T22:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.911324 | 587 |

Have you had quite enough of sad songs?
Why not turn to music that makes you want to get up and dance?
Dancing is a great way to put you in a good mood. There are plenty of styles of dance like hip-hop, rock, salsa, waltz, tango, cha-cha, and Zumba for different styles of music like Latin, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, disco, and funk, for example. Get ready to shake your hips on the dance floor.
Here are Superprof’s favourite songs to dance to. From Latin to classics, there should be something for everyone.
Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee - Despacito
You can’t have missed Descpacito, the song from Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee that became YouTube’s most-watched video ever until Baby Shark surpassed it. The song means “slowly” which is ironic giving how much it’ll make you want to get up and dance.
The Latin style and there are plenty of different styles of dance that go well with it including Kizomba, Argentine tango, Cuban mambo, and even a bit of flamenco. Latin dances, in general, are quite famous for being pretty sexy.
There was some appeal to the song as it sold over 3 million singles in the UK. There are plenty of couples and professionals dancers who can have a good time dancing to this one. The clip is certainly muy caliente.
It’s one of the most successful songs of the last decade so whether you dance the cha-cha or bachata, you might want to learn some moves for this one.
Earth, Wind, and Fire - September
Younger readers might not know this one. This is a funk, soul, boogie, and disco classic and is a classic for events like weddings. It’s one that’ll get almost everyone on the dancefloor.
September was released in 1978 and is still an excellent tune. You don’t need any exceptional dance moves to dance along to this one, just let the rhythm take control.
The best way to dance well is by relaxing and letting go and this is the song to do it to.
Michael Jackson - Thriller
The king of pop had an incredible talent for songs that you want to sing and dance along to. Thriller is an excellent one to dance along to. Again, this one is regularly played by DJs at functions and events.
You don’t need to have years of dance education to dance along to this one. The dance moves from the music video are pretty easy to replicate and if you need help, there are plenty of tutorials online to help you.
There are different styles of dance in the video but modern or hip-hop dance will go well with it. This song also regularly gets played at parties. It’s a classic that still gets people on the tiles.
A lot of Michael Jackon’s songs are good to dance to.
- Billie Jean
- Black or White
- Smooth Criminal
- Beat It
- You Rock My World
- Don't Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
- Man in the Mirror
- Wanna be Startin' Something
Michael Jackson was also a pretty good dancer!
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance with Somebody
Most people will have probably heard this classic from Whitney Houston. This pop classic gets a lot of airtime, especially at parties or special events.
Even 30 years after its release, it's still a song that can get the people dancing. Whitney Houston was an incredible singer and music fans will also know her hit song that was featured in The Bodyguard.
"Oh, I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody,
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me !"
We recommend that you let loose with this one and try out some of your best dance moves.
Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing
The 1970s was home to disco in the United States and the Bee Gees, with their high-pitched voices, were everywhere. Nowadays, their music is regularly featured at parties or anywhere people need to dance!
The song is called You Should Be Dancing and they’re right, you should! The song uses the type of music that makes you want to move.
The song was featured in Saturday Night Fever and just watching the film will make you want to go to the disco!
Stray Kids - MIROH
You don’t need to know the words to dance along to music and this is particularly true with this K-pop song. A lot of K-pop songs have incredible choreography to go with them and are written to be danced to.
This is particularly true with Stray Kids’ song MIROH. Their 2019 hit blends electro, rap, and pop and is bound to make you want to learn the dance moves.
MIROH, along with God’s Menu and Back Door, is one of the group’s biggest hits. You’ll find a similar electro vibe on the song Side Effects and it’ll make you want to hit the club. Bang Chan, Felix, and Hyunjin know how to make us want to dance.
There are also plenty of other K-pop songs that are great for dancing to.
- BTS - Idol
- Hyolyn - Dally
- Big Bang - Fantastic Baby
- NCT U - Baby Don't Stop
- MAMAMOO - Egotistic
- BTS - Fire
- EXO - Call Me Baby
- PSY - Gangnam Style
- TWICE - Feel Special
- HyunA - Bubble Pop!
- IZ*ONE - Violeta
Beyoncé and Jay-Z - Crazy in Love
If Beyoncé is the queen of pop today, it’s because of her incredible songs like Crazy in Love. The recognisable beat and brass will get everyone wanting to get up and dance.
Check for singing lessons Norwich here on Superprof.
Single Ladies and Formation are also great songs to dance to but for us, Crazy in Love is the best one for cutting a rug. Even though the song is over 10 years old, it’s still incredible.
Spice Girls - Wannabe
While the Britpop battle was in full swing in the 90s, on the other side, there were the Spice Girls. This girl group had hits like Say You’ll Be There, Spice Up Your Life, and Stop. The most famous song was probably their 1996 hit Wannabe.
It’s almost impossible not to dance to it.
David Guetta, Flo Rida, and Nicki Minaj - Where Them Girls At
“So many girls in here, where do I begin?
I seen this one, I'm 'bout to go in,
Then she said, I'm here with my friends,
She got me thinking and that's when I said.”
The last song in our non-exhaustive list is one of the most popular dance tunes of the 2010s. David Guetta, Flo Rida, and Nicki Minaj bring a beat and a tune that will make everyone want to jump around.

There are three main ways to get private tutorials: face-to-face, online, or in a group. Each type of tutorial comes with advantages and disadvantages in terms of teaching approach and budget so you'll need to carefully consider which is right for you and what you want to learn.
Face-to-face tutorials are usually the most costly as they're a tailored and bespoke service offered by a tutor who will usually travel to you. Due to the extra time the tutor dedicates to creating bespoke lesson plans for you, you can expect to pay more per hour than the other types of tutorials. However, by having the lessons adapted to the learner, they're far more cost-effective as every minute will be dedicated to teaching you in a way that's right for you.
For those on a tight budget, group tutorials can be incredibly useful as you can share the cost of the tutor's time and expertise with the other students in the class. While these classes won't be tailored to just you, you can take advantage of peer learning and also be guaranteed you'll always have a singing partner or ensemble to work with!
If you can't find any suitable tutors in the area, you can always broaden your search. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can now enjoy tutorials from tutors all over the world. As long as you have a decent webcam, microphone, and internet connection, you can look for online tutors to help you with your singing.
Don't forget that many of the tutors on Superprof offer the first lesson for free. This is a great opportunity to try out potential tutors and types of tutorials to see which is right for you. It's also important that you get on well with your tutor as we learn more effectively when we're in a good mood and if you're planning on spending a lot of time learning from your tutor, you must have a good working relationship.

WHAT IS THE TORINO PROCESS?
Every two years, the European Training Foundation (ETF) invites its partner countries to analyse progress in their vocational education and training (VET) policies and systems. Inspired by the EU Copenhagen Process, the Torino Process is based on country ownership of the process, broad and open participation, a holistic approach to policy and systems analysis, and evidence-based assessment.
WHAT IS IT FOR?
Participating countries develop a common understanding of their medium-term vision, priorities, and strategy for impact-oriented VET policy development.
They are able to explore possible options for implementing their vision.
Participants can also update the analyses at regular intervals to monitor and evaluate progress and impact.
The Torino Process provides tools and opportunities for capacity development and policy learning within and among partner countries and with the European Union (EU).
Countries are empowered to coordinate the contributions of donors more effectively, so as to achieve agreed national priorities.
WHAT CAN COUNTRIES
LEARN FROM IT?
The Torino Process provides access to up-to-date information about VET policies and results, identifies progress and backdrops in the system, and helps with shaping priorities for action. This contributes to more efficient and transparent policymaking processes and to setting a shared vision among actors for the future.
HOW IS IT DONE?
The Torino Process has three key phases. Beginning at the national level, stakeholders collaborate to collect evidence and analyse the national VET system and its results for the country reports, which are validated through a participatory approach. The next phase takes place at a regional level, where countries share common challenges and solutions. The cycle concludes at the international conference in Turin, where all countries come together to learn from each other and set future steps.
WHO TAKES PART?
The Torino Process involves a wide range of national and sub-national stakeholders – including government representatives, social partners, business, experts, VET providers and international organisations – working together to drive outcomes forward.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
Common vision, priorities and strategies for a more efficient policy cycle based on evidence, cooperation and dialogue. This all helps countries to build an effective VET system. | <urn:uuid:345d564e-da75-4787-aae5-8a85f0bbdb41> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.torinoprocess.eu/ | 2022-01-23T21:04:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123202547-20220123232547-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.902375 | 475 |

Board for 12kokuki
When I read ‘Masho no ko’ in 1991, I did not know the story was a part of ‘Juuni kokuki’. Ono sensei hadn’t written even the first book of this series yet. I only felt what a strange story this was because the story had contained little information about ‘Juuni kokuki’.
When I, however, read ‘Tsuki no kage kage no umi’ in 2002, it fascinating me and making me a big fan. If you are fascinated as same as I, please write here about them. (2009.07.21 @ 20:29 JST)

Johannesburg: the PSL title race is very much alive with the contest between Mamelodi Sundowns and the mighty Orlando Pirates who all won their weekend game to keep the momentum going.
Mamelodi sundowns played Bidvest Wits over the weekend where they won 2-0 , thanks to their aggressive approach to the game. This approach saw the Bidvest defenders being under pressure from players such as maestro Percy Tau and Sibusiso Vilakazi. Both goals were scored on the first half of the match by Themba Zwane on the 20th minutes and Sibusiso Vilakazi on the 36th minutes.
The win over Wits saw Sundowns maintaining their top spot and also putting pressure at Olando Pirates who are contesting for the title race with less than 4 games to play this season. The buccaneers as they are affectively know played well with a late winner scored by Thabo Qalinge that claimed all maximum points.
The first half saw Amazulu pressing harder and ultimately getting a goal on the 11th minutes through Mabhuti Khenyeza and they continued to put the buccaneers under pressure , missed some opportunities which would have seen them doubling the lead.
The buccaneers responded on the 32 minutes through Musa Nyatama’s goal where they finally got ther equalizer after several attempts. With 10 minutes before the game comes to an end, pirates substitute Thabo Qalinge became the hero by scoring a late goal.
Some argue that Mamelodi Sundowns got an upper hand to win the title as it has a game in hand and also looking at how coach Pitso Mosimane is still haunt by last season where he lost the title to Bidvest. While others argue that Orlando Pirates can still win the league with 3 games remaining. | <urn:uuid:812bf6a5-3a87-4c96-b9f1-a946ce230886> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.africanpostbox.africa/2018/04/16/psl-title-race-on-the-cards/ | 2022-01-25T08:04:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.975661 | 389 |
A New Type of Fuzzy Quasi-ideals of Ordered Semigroups
Irina Cristea, Ahsan Mahboob and Noor Mohammad Khan
In this paper, we generalize the concept of an (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy quasi-ideal of an ordered semigroup, using the notion of (k∗, q)-quasi-coincidence of an ordered fuzzy point with a fuzzy subset of the support ordered semigroup. First we define and characterize in different ways the (∈,∈ ∨(k∗, qk))-fuzzy quasi-ideals of an ordered semigroup. Secondly, we present some relationships between these generalized fuzzy quasi-ideals and similar generalizations of fuzzy left/right ideals or fuzzy bi-ideals (based on the (k∗, q)-quasi-coincidence relation). Similarities with quasi-ideals in ordered semigroups are discussed at the end of the paper.
Keywords: Ordered semigroup, fuzzy subsets, (∈,∈ ∨(k∗, qk))-fuzzy quasi-ideals

With rising Walk of Shame sightings leading to concerns about the university’s image, FAU and Outtakes have collaborated to invent the H.O.E. (Helping Owls Everywhere) Bag, an “essential emergency pack” to help any Owl “make their Walk of Shame less shameful.” “Some days, nearly 50% of students on campus at 8am would clearly be walking home from a one-night stand,” said FAU Vice President of Student Affairs Corey King. “Smudged makeup, bad breath, messy hair, dirty club clothes… this isn’t New College. We have standards.” The H.O.E. Bags, now on sale at Outtakes stores around campus, are filled with Advil, water, makeup wipes, baby wipes, flip flops, hair ties, and a notebook — a cocktail designed to give students the appearance of a late night of studying instead of one of debauchery. Outtakes also offers the option to upgrade your H.O.E. Bag and get one-of-a-kind FAU H.O.E. sweatpants with your purchase. “We are a prestigious institution, and we must keep up that image,” King added before running off to a meeting with Monsanto concerning renaming the stadium. | <urn:uuid:c4e90493-ce2e-4f6f-829b-fa52ec9fb15b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.thehootfau.com/outtakes-releases-h-o-e-bag-make-walk-shame-less-shameful/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2022-01-25T08:09:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.946464 | 280 |
Python Doc Problem: os.path.split()
Split the pathname path into a pair, (head, tail) where tail is the last pathname component and head is everything leading up to that. The tail part will never contain a slash; if path ends in a slash, tail will be empty. If there is no slash in path, head will be empty. If path is empty, both head and tail are empty. Trailing slashes are stripped from head unless it is the root (one or more slashes only). In nearly all cases, join(head, tail) equals path (the only exception being when there were multiple slashes separating head from tail).
This confusive verbiage is a result of the author's pretention in a austere style and his failure to think clearly before writing.
returns a pair (dirname,filename), where dirname is the part of path up to the last slash, and filename is the rest of the string after the last slash.
Exceptional cases are:
• if path is a single slash (or repeated), then path == dirname and filename is empty.
• If the last slash is repeated, they are treated as one single slash.
I was working on a program where i needed to split a path into dirname, corename, and suffix.
I came to this page and took me a while to understand what split() is about. There are other path related functions splitext(), splitdrive(), basename(), dirname(). User has to scan the whole page and read painfully each one to fully understand how to choose and use them for the task at hand.
As i have explained before (see references at bottom), documentation should be organized oriented towards programer's tasks, not alphabetically, compiler view, or computer sciency scheme. On this os.path module, split(), splittext(), dirname(), basename() should all be under one section. This way, their usefulness and each's fitness becomes clearer, and also easier to document as a collective. Other functions that test files or get info about files should be grouped together. Don't be afraid of having functions that won't fit into some grouping scheme. For example, the walk() and supports_unicode_filenames() can be lumped at the bottom as Other. The need to present materials in some aloof, computer sciency, academic, technically precise way is a major usability problem of the Python doc.
(the Pythoners's need to present materials in a formal style is a backlash of the happy-go-lucky sloppiness of unix/perl community. However, they being pretty much the same crowd without significant critical thinking and writing skills, cannot do better by hiding in formality.)
Also, at the top we see:
Warning: On Windows, many of these functions do not properly support UNC pathnames. splitunc() and ismount() do handle them correctly.
As indicated before, this is a exhibition of tech geeking and jargonizing. If this warning is necessary, place it at the bottom of the page as a footnote. Also, spell out UNC, and provide a link to its proper spec.
Tech geekers are very pretentious and cryptic in their tech docs. They are afraid, as if spelling out UNC would make them unprofessional, that their peers would deem them inferior. There are a myriad of technical standards that any programer could only be familiar with a fraction, confined to his area of expertise. Standards and its acronyms come and go, and each with varying degrees of precision, actual relevance, and they are intermingled with de facto practices in the commercial world that may not even have official names. The tech geekers are clouded by their tech-expertise. The purpose of documentation is not some cold academic presentation. Vast majority who came to use os.path wouldn't know what UNC is nor do they need to know. Spell things out when in doubt.
UNC here, isn't really a significant “standard”. This warning should be left out.
- Regroup path manipulating functions together, file info functions together, etc.
- After regrouping the functions, much of the writing can be simplified since these functions are doing similar tasks. Writing can focus on their differences. Rewrite them with a focus on what users needs to do. Add examples in intricate situations. Avoid the computer science thesis writing style.
- Remove the UNC warning at the top.

With over 50,000 streams on Spotify alone, I am so proud of the collaboration on this artwork for OCEAN’s first every single ‘Amnesia’. It’s so catchy and dreamy – definitely go and have a listen to it! With the success of this collab, I can confirm we will be doing another one very soon!
I have been very busy with a lot of commissions this month hence why it’s been quiet on this front. Many of these commissions are already completed with a couple more to go! I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on, some exciting projects are in the works and I’m very grateful to be a part of it!
I recently made myself a Spotify playlist to lift up my mood, help me feel good and remind myself of the bad B I really am. I think it’s important for us women to empower ourselves, to take ownership and feel good about our bodies too! This is what I was channelling whilst drawing this image.
You can follow the Spotify playlist here!
Prints of my original illustrations are available for purchase on my Etsy store which you can find here https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/aliyahcoreanaart
Please buy, share around and support me in this! They are going for quite cheap because I above all just want to share my art with others!
Thank you so much 🙂
Being a big lover of bubble tea and most of my wardrobe containing purple/lilac clothes, I was driven and inspired to illustrate my love for taro flavoured bubble tea!
I also love green tea and brown sugar flavours too. So there may be more images to come with the different friends who love to drink bubble tea just as much as me!
I uploaded a new video to my YouTube where you get to see me apply fake lashes for the first time ever using GLAMNETIC, which are magnetic lashes rather than using the glue (which has put me off ever using fake lashes).
Please take a look and enjoy!
Hey all! I uploaded a new video to my YouTube where you get to tour my 5 star island, Konoha (yes I named it after the village Naruto is from xD) I have lost my voice so I wasn’t able to do a voiceover but I hope you find the video to be relaxing and inspirational – which Animal Crossing does best!

The future of Star Wars has been left in the dark for since The Rise of Skywalker brought an end to the ongoing story of Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). But there are already whisperings of what might be coming soon.
Fans will recall Kylo Ren disappeared into the Force after reviving Rey following the battle against Emperor Palpatine.
Since his disappearance, Star Wars fans have been speculating whether Kylo Ren will be making a triumphant return to the series. Considering he was not explicitly killed off, his chances of returning are good.
With no official plans for the next Star Wars movies announced by Disney just yet, anything is possible.
Now, speculation has been reignited by comments made by Kylo star Driver.
The American star was recently quizzed over whether he would avoid returning to A Galaxy Far Far Away.
.Star Wars: Kathleen Kennedy teases future of Rey
Star Wars: Will Kylo Ren make a return?
Star Wars: Ben Solo already saw his redemption – will it continue?
Driver said: “No, I’m totally not against it. For me, it’s a filmmaker’s medium, so my only thing is working with great filmmakers.
“Whatever the size… it’s never been interesting to me, to an extent. There’s interesting things about working on both.
“I always just follow people I’d be interested in working with, and whether I’d be right for the part – things like that. No, definitely not averse.” (Via Unilad)
The 38-year-old’s comments follow those made by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who hinted at a future for his character and others.
Star Wars: The story of Kylo Ren / Ben Solo may not be over
Kennedy spoke about the mysterious future of the Star Wars franchise with Empire. Speaking about the sequel trilogy characters Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren, she said: “Certainly, those are not characters we’re going to forget. They will live on, and those are conversations that are going on with the creative team as well.”

Disney+ drops to its lowest EVER price, and that’s not all [DISNEY PLUS DISCOUNT]
Star Wars: Bad news for fans as next film delayed – here’s why [INSIGHT]
Considering the star of the show himself, Driver, is keen to rejoin the series, and Kennedy has her creative team talking about it, fans may well see Kylo Ren return in the coming films.
And he may not be alone, as Rey actor Ridley has also expressed her interest in making a comeback.
Last year she confessed she would “never say never” to returning.
She said: “I’m always open to a revisit. But also the beautiful thing is it’s this wonderful, huge universe with all of these stories that have yet to be told. I think there’s a lot of cool things to be made before any potential revisit.”
Ridley added: “I don’t think it’ll ever feel properly like goodbye because it’s such a wonderful little web of people.
“It’s a really nice club to be a part of. Plus, I had such a good time.”
The Star Wars franchise is available on Disney Plus now.

|This article belongs to the Classic Timeline|
Collectimus is a villain that appeared in Ben 10: Omniverse.
Collectimus has large purple lens glasses and has light green skin with dark green robes and armor. He is small and sits on a golden chair.
He can be seen as a stereotypical nerd collector and is a perfectionist when it comes to collecting, (i.e.: rare items, complete sets, pristine condition, etc.). He considers himself to be above galactic law, and that even the planet Earth is nothing more than a collectible, due to the fact that it was signed by the "Real Ben 10" and was willing to trade it for an original T-shirt.
Collectimus makes his debut in Collect This, where he is called to Earth by Simian. When he arrives, he encloses the Earth in a collector's box. His goal is to add Ben into his collection, whom he idolized. When Simian demands his earnings, the collector is reminded that he is Gwevin and catches him. Tennyson offers his T-shirt from five years ago in exchange for the planet. The alien takes the gift and returns the Earth, before departing.
Powers and Abilities
Collectimus' chair can hover and possesses various weapons and equipment. According to himself, the chair's technology is far beyond any other in the universe. It came into existence at the moment of his creation.[DJW 2]
Collectimus can use his cards as blank slots so he can preserve and collect items and people. His cards can also preserve weapons such as lasers.
In addition to weapons, Collectimus' cards can preserve defenses such as force fields that can surround a planet within a cube-shaped containment field.
Due to his chair's technology being supposedly more advanced than any other in the universe, Collectimus claims to be undefeatable. However, his main weakness seems to be his fanatical obsession of collecting all things related to Ben 10. He was even willing to trade the entire planet Earth for Ben's old T-shirt.
- Collect This (first appearance)
- The End of an Era (future; cameo)
- Collecitmus is a fan of The Ben 10 Show and collects all Ben 10 merchandise.
- Collectimus knows that Ben recreated the universe in So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies.
- Collectimus doesn't age.[DJW 3]
- Collectimus resembles several Marvel Comics villains such as the Collector (because he collects items), Galactus (because of his name and physical details), and MODOK (because of his chair).
- Speaking of MODOK, Collectimus shares the same voice actor as MODOK's appearances in recent Marvel animated series and video games.
- Collectimus resembles Metron of DCs New Gods and the original version of Zodak the Cosmic Enforcer from Masters of The Universe, both of whom fly around multiverses with unfathomable cosmic powers in cosmic chairs.
- He also most closely resembles the DC character Batmite, being an extremely obsessive fan with extradimensional powers.
- Apparently, Collectimus is the reason why The Ben 10 Show keeps having Gwevin constantly re-casted. He had admitted to "collecting" the first 12 Gwevins and did not hesitate to collect Simian as the 13th.
- Collectimus seems to represent a stereotypical sci-fi geek.
- The cloud he makes when he teleports is similar to the one used by the fairies from the Nickelodeon show The Fairly Oddparents when they "poof" anywhere. | <urn:uuid:0a4cbf90-022a-47be-9848-c6ec28f1ddf8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Collectimus | 2022-01-25T08:20:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960502 | 776 |

I wore a bodysuit today, by Black Milk but It is now in the wash so I can’t take a photo of it. I have however, taken a couple of snaps from a pair of leggings I ninja’d off eBay. I saw them in store but the only ones left were in extra small and well, that is just wishful thinking on my part. So, when I saw a pair pop up on ebay, I was like GIMMMMEEEEE!

For Julian POW, WWII
The dampness inside Noah’s twelve-year-old Chevy truck intensified the reek of urine. Dog pee. Jena’s rat terrier Bella. No scrubbing, short of bleach, removed the stench. He had thought of trading the truck, but nobody wanted it. Town men teased and snickered. “Smell that truck before we see it coming,” they said.
Noah rubbed his sleeve across the foggy windshield. Damn rain. You would think after all these years of fighting Alabama Februarys he would get past this frustration that hit when he was caught with no cloth to dry off the mist. He swiped his shirtsleeve across the glass again.
In the cleared spot, a man appeared. Clad in a thin plaid shirt and army trousers, his shoulders were drawn up against the cold wet. Noah stomped the brake and yanked the steering wheel to the left. The truck bed slid toward the man. Noah fought the wheel. “Shit,” he said under this breath.
The gangly man turned toward the headlights and tugged at an untrimmed mustache. Noah rolled down the passenger window. Rain blew in, further wetting Noah’s sleeve. He leaned over to see if the man was who he thought he was.
“Clint? My God. Clint, is that you?” Thunder blocked out any answer the man might have given. “I could’ve killed you.”
Clint walked away from the truck.
Noah threw the gear into neutral and set the brake. He jumped out into the downpour, grabbed the man’s arm and twisted him around so he could see him face to face. “Thought I was seeing a ghost in all this wet.” When Clint did not answer, Noah said, “Get in the cab. You’re soaked.”
Clint yanked his arm from Noah. Noah seized his half-brother by the back of his shirt collar and pushed him into the truck. Clint dropped a soggy Piggly-Wiggly paper sack of belongings on the floorboard. Noah shifted into first and edged back on to Highway 12.
“Man, I thought I’d never see you again.” Noah shook his hair like a dog fresh out of a pond. “Leaving like that. Where you been all these years? Nobody’s seen hide nor hair of you.” Noah squinted and leaned forward. He knew this road, but he wiped the windshield again. His sleeve was now so wet it did little good.
Clint stared through the rain-streaked window at a stand of stick-like pines. He knew they wouldn’t prosper. Too close together. Even as a kid, Noah always pushed things. Now the pines. One right up against the other.
At the dead-end sign, Noah turned onto the road. Gravel pinged against the underside of the truck. He killed the motor.
“I’m getting out,” Clint said.
Noah strained to hear him over raspy wiper blades. “We’re going home. Jena’ll have us some supper. A hot bath. Good night’s sleep.” Noah slapped Clint’s thigh and nodded. “Just like when we was kids.”
“I ain’t going.” Clint reached for the door handle.
“‘Course you going,” Noah insisted. “It’s your home, too, I reckon.”
“Not no more.” Clint’s voice had a flatness in it Noah didn’t remember.
“Don’t be talking like that, Clint.” Noah reached into his shirt pocket for a Chesterfield and match. “Things’ll be better this time.”
Clint grunted. “Why’d you stop the truck then if you’re so sure I’m going?” he asked. He tapped his left leg up and down. After the constant battlefield noise in Korea, silence made Clint antsy.
Noah drummed his cigarette against the dash. “Thought you might be needing to make up your own mind, seeing as how I drug you into the truck and all.” Noah lowered his window a crack and lit the cigarette. He blew smoke into the rain. “No matter me wanting, it’s still your life you living.”
Noah coughed deep inside his chest. Clint rapped his fingers across his thigh as if picking out a forgotten song on a guitar. He waited.
Noah leaned toward Clint. Smoke blew out Noah’s nostrils. “’Member that night when you was fourteen? Fifteen? Snowing like hell. Jena and me, we met you running like a wild man down the middle of the road? Old man Smitty on your tail. Bet he’d skint you alive if you hadn’t hopped into the bed of my old truck.” Noah chuckled. “Moved his still, he did. ‘Fraid you’d tell.” Noah stopped talking and listened to rain plinking on the metal cab. “Didn’t know you much, did he?”
Clint clutched his fingers into a fist and pounded his thigh. He laughed. “This shitty truck stinks.”
“I reckon it does,” Noah grinned and stomped the starter. Noah’s wet shoe slid off the clutch. The truck rolled down the hill, and the motor kicked in. “Let’s get in the dry.”
The scent of hot lard and fried chicken met Noah as he crossed the threshold. Jena had her back turned. He knew, by the set of her shoulders, that she had seen Clint.
“He will not come in this house,” she whispered.
“Just barely.” Jena dumped washing powder into the sink. She grabbed the frying pan and attacked the grease where she had fried the chicken.
“No gravy tonight?” Noah asked.
At Jena’s feet, Bella crunched her food. He looked at Jena’s terrier hunched over her bowl. Massive ears, thin, rat-like face splotched in orange and white, rock-hard body and skinny tail. He wanted to grasp that tail and sling her out the window. “Damn dog. Got no business eating in the kitchen.”
Jena shrugged. “She’s my baby.”
Ask and Noah will admit he had babied Clint for years. Clint was the only brother he had, even if he was a half. Noah, five years older, cut Clint slack by doing his chores. Lied to their old man to keep him from throwing Clint out when he didn’t come home nights. Slipping an extra dollar or two into Clint’s pocket, knowing Clint would drink it up before the week was out.
Noah recalled a Clint who followed nobody’s rules. He allowed no temperament to slow his actions. His life had been lived within a copse of prickly cedars, with Clint appearing and disappearing, leaving only a broken gap behind, a gap that closed before anyone could enter. Then Clint met North Korea.
And look what it had all come to. School dropout. Stint in Korea. Pistol whipping Buck Hobson nigh on to death. Then walking off without a word. Crazy restlessness, now so deep-rooted, he couldn’t settle.
Jena leaned into the counter. She waited for Noah to give her justification for bringing his brother into her house.
Rather than give her time for a thought to come together, Noah reached around her waist and laid his head against her neck. “Come on, Hon. We can’t leave him out in the cold. Think about what he could’ve been through.”
She twisted, but he held her snug. “He’s been Lord knows where. With Lord knows who.” She whispered, as if she suspected Clint might be eavesdropping. “No word. No nothing. Since that fight over Buck Hobson’s woman. What? Six years back?”
“I won’t let no harm come to you.” He kissed her behind the ear. “I’m right here, Baby.”
Her body softened.
“What if Bella don’t like him?’ she asked as she pulled away.
“Nothing’ll happen to Bella.” He nibbled her ear.
She faced Noah and wagged her forefinger near his rounded nose, “Absolutely no whiskey. I know he’s a drunk and they’re saying on the television that drunks can’t help it, but I won’t stand for no drinking in my house.”
Noah nipped at her finger and grinned.
“One week, Noah. That’s all. One week.”
Noah, his hand against Clint’s back, nudged him into the kitchen. A chipped enamel-topped table sat in the middle of the wall. Three mismatched chairs filled the open sides. Noah felt Clint’s back stiffen when he saw that what had once been his place was now closed off, shoved against the wall.
Noah pointed to the chair across from where Jena would sit, where their papa used to sit, leaving Noah his stepmother’s place.
“Just like old times, right, Clint?” Noah said.
“Reckon so.” Clint did not look up.
Jena plunked the bean bowl down on the metal tabletop. Then a plate of cornbread. Her knife struck the plate and crunched the crisp crust as it sliced into the pone. Smell of sweet corn drifted up from the bread’s opening. She placed a platter of fried chicken legs in the table’s center.
Noah slid the chicken platter toward Clint before reaching across the table for beans, bread and onion slices. Noah spooned pinto beans in bite after bite then sopped up bean liquor with his bread. His mouth full, he pulled the last of the meat off his chicken leg with tobacco-stained teeth. Metal against crockery and Bella’s crunching dry dog food accentuated the silence. Noah and Clint leaned over their plates, chewing. Noah reached for another chicken leg.
“Where’s your fork?” Jena spoke without opening her lips.
Noah drew back his hand. “Damn, Jena, I ain’t no five-year-old.” He picked up his fork and stabbed another leg so hard the fork rang against the platter.
“Stop it,” Jena demanded. “You want to break my good dishes?”
Noah twisted in his chair. His elbow pushed the stripped chicken bone to the floor. He ignored it and dropped another leg on his plate, changed his mind and put it back on the platter. He downed a glass of sweet tea and pushed his chair away from the table.
After eating, Noah pulled Clint down on the couch to watch Gunsmoke. “Ain’t no better show on television,” he said between cigarette puffs. “Been watching it since ’55. Three year. It gets better ever week.” Clint rose to move to a chair, but Noah caught his arm and pulled him back down. “He ought to marry that Miss Kitty, don’t you think,” Noah said, not expecting a response. What he said was not to be questioned. After the program, Noah gave up on trying to decide why the New York reporters had come to Matt Dillion’s town looking for a story anyway, butting into somebody else’s life like that. “Ain’t no reason in anybody roaming over the country looking for trouble,” he mumbled.
When Clint didn’t answer, Noah said, “Might as well go on to bed.” He stubbed his cigarette out in a thick glass ashtray, stood and stretched. “What can you do with a man like Dillon?” Noah said. “Liquor, women, fights.”
Clint ignored him. He removed his shoes, gathered a blanket from the back of the couch and covered his legs. “Night,” Noah said. Once Noah left the room, Clint pulled the blanket to the floor and lay down to sleep.
The first thing Noah saw when he entered his bedroom was a hump on the bed. Knowing what it had to be, he threw back the spread. “Good Lord.” Bella lay on her belly, next to a mushy pile of undigested food. He slung the spread to the floor. He swatted the dog’s rump, and she jumped off the bed with a yelp. Noah wadded the dirty blanket and tossed it on the floor. “Jena, get in here,” he demanded.
Jena met Bella at the door and cradled the dog to her breast. “Poor baby. Have a widdle tummy ache?” She kissed Bella on the head. “Mommy get you some tum-tum medicine. Don’t let that bad old man scare my baby.” She grumbled on toward the kitchen.
Disgust settled over Noah. He mumbled as he crossed the room. “Baby brother struck dumb, won’t talk. Why’d he come home if he didn’t plan to be family? Jena loving on a ratty old dog. You’d think it was a kid instead of a dog. Years since she’d put her head to my breast.”
Inside his bedroom closet, Noah reached behind his shirts for his camouflage coveralls. From an inside pocket, he pulled out a flask of vodka. He downed the alcohol easy, as if it were water. He crawled under the sheet and wiggled around to settle into a place for sleeping.
Down the hall, the TV squelched as electricity rushed into the room now that stations had shut down. Clint sat upright. He shuddered. It was two-way radios on the battlefields of Korea, all over again. He blinked. And blinked again to drive that memory away. He propped his back against the couch and stared at the screen, mesmerized, at the test pattern of circles inside circles, each broken by four wide intersecting bands. The black lines made his eyes water. His hands shook.
A knothole in a board he had slept on in the prisoner of war camp in North Korea had met him each night, eye-to-eye. He would put his eye so close to the hole that when he rose he had a dent around his eyeball. He often wondered if he could carve out a hole big enough to see who slept under him. For three years, he would sleep no more than ten inches above another human being. The POW became nothing more than another face. They never spoke. He learned that to break a rule meant a bloodletting. He learned that rule, early on. Eight days after he was captured.
Four Korean soldiers had rushed into the barrack, jabbering words Clint barely grasped. “Soldier from Alabama talking,” he thought they said. At first, he couldn’t breathe. They meant him. He was from Alabama. They pulled a POW, a kid no more than twenty, out of the group. Clint hadn’t heard anybody talking, but he kept his mouth shut. Clint wrapped his arms around himself and balled his fists to stop the trembling. The kid was bound with rope and dragged out of the wooden building. The four ordered the POWs out of the building.
Outside they tied him to a stripped pole and riddled the boy with bullets. He never uttered a sound as his body bounced and jerked from the firing squad. They gouged him to prove he was dead, then they laughed. His head hung low. He stood in a pool of blood, supported only by the ropes that help him to the pole. The soldiers forced the POWs back inside and locked the door. Clint lay stone still throughout the night.
The next morning as the POWs marched past the hanging boy, a thin mist blew from the his nose as he breathed, indicating a whisper of life left there. A winter wind from Siberia had hopped mountain over mountain and scotched his blood flow. He would lose a lung, an arm from the elbow down and both his balls, but he lived. The kid later said he lived so he could talk about it. After the war ended, Clint would testify to what he had seen. He finished his witness with “No need to talk about this no more.” And he had not.
After that shooting, Clint lived a life of “what ifs.” What if he had had a knife? What if he had more to eat so he could have strength to run the cornfields after he wormed under the wire? And tonight? What if tomorrow his sister-in-law woke up half-human? What if his brother. . .? But he had none of these answers. Staring into a black television screen could make a fellow go blind.
Just after dawn, Noah dragged himself into the kitchen. “Where’s Clint?” he asked, scratching his bare chest.
“She’s around somewhere. Probably under something.” He poured a cup of coffee. “Still raining?” He glanced out the kitchen window. The rain had slacked a bit, but it rained nonetheless. He saw Clint squatted next to the chicken coop. A shovel leaned against the pine trunk. “What’s he doing out there?”
Jena drew closer to the window to look.
At the far edge of the backyard, Clint crouched on his knees, bent over a pile of dirt. His plaid shirt stuck to his skin. Next to his knee lay a lumpy blue shirt. He lifted it with both hands, as if cradling a baby, and placed it in a hole. He guided muddy dirt over the hole with his hands and tamped it, first with his hands then with his fists.
Jena let the kitchen door slam and ran screaming across the yard. “Murderer!” She threw herself on Clint’s back. Her weight flattened Clint face-first into the mud. Noah grabbed Jena at her waist and heaved to get her off his little brother. She flailed her arms and legs, kicking Clint’s hips, his back, and Noah’s shins with her hard-soled oxfords.
She shouted at Clint, “You SOB.” One turn and she wiggled out of Noah’s hands.
“Shut up,” Noah shouted. “That’s enough.” He groped again, grabbing whatever he could grasp.
Jena shrieked in pain and rolled off Clint. She turned on Noah and beat his chest with her fists. “What do you mean, grabbing my tit like that?”
“God, Jena,” Noah said. “You gone crazy?”
“He’s done killed Bella.” She slapped Noah hard across the face. “I told you not to let him stay.”
Behind her, Clint smoothed the center of the mound and rose from the mud.
Noah gripped her wrists. “Stop it, Jena.”
She fell against him, breathing hard.
“He killed Bella,” she whimpered.
“Big Brother, you ought not feed a dog chicken bones,” Clint said, his back to his family. “They sliver. Little dog died from inside.”
Noah felt his pants for a cigarette. There were none there. “I didn’t feed . . .”
Jena spit her words toward Clint. “I knowed all along you was a no-count.” She squatted down and threw a metallic object off the mound and evened the soil. “Noah should’ve left you on the side of the road to die.”
“Now, Jena.” Noah stroked her shoulder. She pulled away.
Clint picked up his paper sack and took the muddy shovel. Jena cowered over the little grave and watched him wide-eyed. Clint beat the shovel against clay stuck to the sole of his shoe. He stuffed his Piggly-Wiggly paper sack, now empty, into his pants pocket. He stepped over Bella’s grave and cut between Noah and Jena.
Rain has a unique trick of falling in one place. The rain and the sun appear to battle for the right to claim some invisible barrier. It allows folks to walk into the rain and back out again. Often for no particular reason, other than the thrill of controlling what people do.
Noah moved out of the rain and away from Jena. He picked up the medal piece, now washed clean. He held a bronze cross, no more than two-inches high with an eagle on the center and a scroll beneath. The scroll read “FOR VALOR.” Noah flipped it and read Pvt. Clint Townsend. “Oh, baby brother.” Noah’s words struggled for air. Something viscous lodged in his throat and held his words at bay. “Why didn’t you say so?” He put his brother’s Distinguished Service Cross in his pocket. The patch of rain moved over and fell again on Noah.
In the distance, Clint climbed the road toward the highway. Before he reached the crest of the hill, he brought out a whiskey bottle, turned it up and drank it dry. He threw the empty toward a pine’s black trunk. It hit its target and shattered into a brown explosion.
From the beside Bella’s grave, Noah called out. “We need to talk.” Clint walked on. Noah twisted around and glared at Jena. “I need me some hard liquor,” he said.
“Don’t you dare.” Jena said it almost like a gasp. She seized Noah’s arm.
Noah wrenched her hand away. He stepped out of the rain. He slammed the kitchen door as he went inside.
Dazed, Jena moved one foot. It fell on Bella’s grave. Her shoe sank into mud. A rowdy hen squawked at her. Jena gagged from the stench of wet chicken shit across the wire fence. She untied her oxford and drew out her foot. One foot bare, she limped toward the kitchen.
By dusk, the rain had stopped. Noah heard a series of abrupt yips and a soprano howl from the back woods. A wolf pup stalking his chickens, he thought. “Going out to check on the chickens” he called to Jena. She didn’t reply.
He hid his vodka bottle in the bib of his overalls. He walked easy. His bones ached from the tension of the past twenty-four hours. Outside, he swallowed a long draft of liquor and watched the sun shoot pink and purple clouds across the horizon. The coming dark didn’t hold him back. He stumbled on. He needed to get as far away as he could so he could be alone with himself.
Near the chicken coop, he stopped as he approached the fence. Something shadowy sat atop Bella’s grave. At first glance, Noah thought it was Bella herself, back from the dead. He paused next to the mound and rubbed his eyes. It wasn’t Bella. It was a shoe. Jena’s shoe, filled with rainwater. He bent to lift the shoe but ordered himself not to. “Leave it be,” he said to nobody. “It won’t matter none one way or the other.”

Patty Prather Thum (October 1, 1853 – September 28, 1926) was an American artist from Louisville, Kentucky known for her landscapes, paintings of roses, and book illustrations. She studied art at Vassar College and the Art Students League of New York and maintained a portrait and landscape studio in Louisville for 35 years. She taught art, illustrated books and magazines, served as the president of the Louisville Art League, and was the art critic for the Louisville Herald until 1925.
Patty Prather Thum, daughter of Mandeville and Louisiana (Miller) Thum, was born October 1, 1853 in Louisville, Kentucky. She was first tutored in drawing by her mother. As a child, Thum visited her grandparents at their rural home and developed a "love of nature". Thum studied art at Vassar College with Henry Van Ingen, and under William Merritt Chase, Henry Mobray, and Lemuel Wiles at the Art Students League of New York. In the mid-1870s, Thum moved back to Louisville and began a career as a painter.
Thum had an art studio at the Francis Building in Louisville for over 35 years. She is most well known for her landscape painting, mostly of flowers and Kentucky scenes, but also painted still-lifes and portraits. She also contributed to art magazines and newspapers. She painted private gardens in Jefferson and Oldham Counties with native trees being a focus of her work. Thum was a member of several art organizations, including the Louisville Art Association, the Art Association of Indianapolis, the American Federation of Art, and the Arts Club. Thum received an honorable mention for book illustration of "Robbie and Annie: A Child's Story" at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. | <urn:uuid:574d2345-c22a-497f-a61a-cc43994d8383> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://completely-kentucky.fandom.com/wiki/Patty_Prather_Thum?mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile | 2022-01-25T08:36:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.981937 | 368 |

Graze hopes to reduce air and noise pollution in commercial landscaping
Traditional gas-powered lawn mowers have long been a culprit for air and noise pollution. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that new mowers produce 11x more harmful emissions than new cars in one hour of driving.
In California, Graze’s home base, approximately 60 towns and cities already have some form of ban on gas-powered garden tools in place. Graze looks forward to bringing environmental sustainability to the landscaping world with its electric,
CEO of Caliburger notes Miso Robotics’ ability to minimize food waste
Miso Robotics has created Flippy, a patented, AI enabled robotic kitchen assistant. Flippy has cooked over 40k lbs. of fried food and 9k burgers at LA Dodgers Stadium, Arizona Diamondbacks Chase Field, and two CaliBurger locations.
Jeffrey Kalt, CEO of Caliburger, recently noted that “Flippy produces a consistent product each and every time” because of the consistent cook times and procedures that the robot follows, thus minimizing waste. | <urn:uuid:ddccbbf4-a764-407c-bb97-0aa3d3e12f03> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://crowdfundingfinder.com/updates/invest-in-startups-with-eco-friendly-practices-from-seedinvest/ | 2022-01-25T08:38:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.912521 | 261 |

So, long story short, not dead. The unthinkable cliff-hanger last week, with Ray Velcoro taking two shotgun blasts to the chest, had us all reeling about what this could mean for the rest of the True Detective season. But it turns out he was shot with riot shells meant to seriously slow you down in a non-fatal way. Why would this creepy potential murderer in a raven mask not kill Velcoro? We don’t know. Maybe they need him alive for some reason. Let’s take a look at this week’s episode of True Detective, titled “Maybe Tomorrow,” in full.
Dreaming of Elvis
The episode begins with Velcoro sitting in his familiar bar booth with an Elvis impersonator performing in the background. Honestly, as this scene happened I wondered if I was hallucinating from eating a combination of bad pizza and Spider-Man fruit snacks. Turns out, those two foods don’t cause hallucinations and that scene was actually happening on my television. Velcoro talks with his father before noticing his wounds from the shot gun. He wakes up in the house he was shot in to find that the wounds were non-lethal and the song from his dream is playing on the radio. The house looks exactly as it did, except the camera and hard-drive from the hidden room are gone. He calls in Detective Bezzerides.
Elsewhere, Frank Semyon is having trouble performing at a fertility clinic. In fact he has trouble with lots of things this episode. He is stressed from the death of Ben Caspere and the disappearance of his money. He’s having trouble accepting that he and his wife are trying in vitro fertilization to have a baby. Plus business isn’t particularly strong at the moment. In order to try and recoup some loses; he strong-arms a past associate for regular payment in return for his services. A new potential partner we saw in the season premiere, Osip, reveals he is pulling out of a deal now. Frank wonders if he may have murdered Caspere. Oh and just to make matters worse, one of Frank’s guys has been killed.
Frank takes it upon himself to push the Caspere investigation forward since he now seems to be a target. At a nightclub, he meets with his allies and questions them about the goings on. He’s looking for more information on Caspere, who was a regular with prostitutes. One former employee of Frank’s, Santos, now runs the club and gets a bit froggy. So Frank fights him to prove he still runs the show. From the second we saw last episode that Santos has a golden grill on his teeth with the words “F*** You” written on them, I suspected that might come up in True Detective conversation. And it does, in the form of Frank ripping them out of Santos’ mouth with pliers. Frank ends the night throwing them in the trash at his house, not quite ready to apologize to his wife for an earlier fight.
Dirt Bike Dalliance
Paul Woodrugh is still yet to find a foothold in this story. We’re slowly learning more about him, but his impact on the case is minimal. This week he spends some downtime at a dirt bike race with a military buddy. Woodrugh gets defensive when the conversation turns to attending psychiatric meetings and remembering the bad things he witnessed. But it turns out Woodrugh and the friend were more than brothers in arms, they actually had a romantic fling at one point. Woodrugh definitely doesn’t want to talk about this and he shoves the guy to the ground and walks off. We see from afar, a shady Vinci detective we’ve met several times is watching and he snaps a photo of the scene. Later, Woodrugh questions some prostitutes on the streets about Caspere. He pays a male escort to get him into a bar, which happens to be the one where Frank is when he beat down grill-face. Frank and Woodrugh literally bump into each other and give a once over, but they don’t speak. One male prostitute Woodrugh questions does recognize Caspere from a photo.
Velcoro and Bezzerides are actually pretty successful in their detective work this week. Since the show is called True Detective, that’s kind of important. Early after his return from the dead, Velcoro meets with Frank at the bar and attempts to figure out if Frank was behind the ambush or who might have known about the house. He doesn’t learn much, but Frank tells him all about the broken rail deal. Also Velcoro drinks water instead of alcohol, which is quite a character change from the previous two episodes. After Velcoro leaves, the waitress asks Frank what happened to Velcoro. The response is a good one. “Somebody murdered him.”
Another Masked Man
While Velcoro dealt with his mortality, Bezzerides and Woodrugh visit the Vinci mayor’s mansion, which is located outside of the city. The mayor’s young wife is messed up on some combination of drugs and/or alcohol. His daughter ignores them and the son is creepy and speaks with a fake accent. The detectives leave without learning too much, but the mayor is furious and wants Bezzerides fired for going to his home. During a meeting of the Vinci brain trust, Velcoro tries to get taken off the case. But he’s forced to stay on. Bezzerides’ meeting with the state and county officials has her getting pushed even more to find out Velcoro’s motives. It’s even suggested that she seduce him.
There are some more personal developments shown this week too. Bezzerides breaks up with her kind-of boyfriend in an awkward exchange. Velcoro stops by his retired cop dad’s house to deliver him some weed. They talk about the good ol’ days of police work and such. Could this be Velcoro trying to put his priorities in order now that he’s survived that near death experience? It’s possible because when his ex shows up to his house with $10,000 to not contest the impending custody battle for their son, he turns her away. She also breaks the news that she was visited by police officers asking about Velcoro and any potentially corrupt dealings.
In Caspere’s safety deposit box, the detectives find some LLC documents and blue diamonds. Could they be important? Who really knows at this point? It’s also learned that the victim bankrolled some movies. So Bezzerides and Velcoro visit the set of one of these movies. There may be more to this scene than how it pertains to the plot. But we learn that a car was stolen from that set recently. The detectives visit a former employee to see if he was involved in the theft, but just then a fire sparks around the corner. A masked man (not the raven mask this time) lit the stolen car on fire and starts running. The detectives follow him on foot but he escapes across a highway. Velcoro pulls Bezzerides out of the way of an oncoming truck just in time. Using this sliver of good will, Velcoro asks his partner what information the state has on him. She says she doesn’t know.
I think this third episode of True Detective shows a lot of promise for the rest of this season. The small bits of information are actually leading to developments in the case and we are really starting to learn who these characters are. It’s like the show took a shot gun shell to the chest and now realizes they have to give the audience some information before it’s too late. Like Velcoro, my patience may be wounded, but I’m still going to see this story through. | <urn:uuid:69ea8dd2-8e83-4938-a91a-0efcb02e3342> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://geekinsider.com/true-detective-s2-e3-recap-another-week-another-mask/ | 2022-01-25T07:33:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977762 | 1,660 |

When looking for a new job, your CV will need to wow recruiters and show them that you’re the best candidate for the job. But what exactly do recruiters want to see on your resume and how should that information be presented?
Keep reading as we offer you some helpful hints and tips to make your next job application a success.
Wow the hiring manager with a compelling cover letter
The first thing you need to do is persuade potential employers to open your CV. You could have the most well-written, relevant CV in the world on your hands but if it sits unopened in a recruiter’s inbox, it’s useless.
To ensure that a recruiter opens your CV, you need to draw them in with a compelling cover note. Keep your cover note short and sharp and demonstrate how your skills and work experience match the job description.
A cover note should be well written, free of any spelling mistakes and use a friendly, professional tone of voice.
Experience relevant to the job description
Once a potential employer has opened your CV, the first thing they will do is scan the first page of your CV for key skills and knowledge relevant to the job title. If your resume doesn’t pass this initial scan, it’s likely the hiring manager will put your CV down and move on to the next one.
To ensure your resume stands out from the crowd, make it easy to read by using bullet points, a clear simple font, break sections up with headers and ensure everything is in chronological order as this will make it much easier for potential recruiters to follow.
Your current job role is the biggest indicator of your capabilities at this moment in your career so recruiters will analyse this section of your resume the most.
Recruiters will want to know things like:
- Your current job role
- Details of the jobs you do on a regular basis
- Who you interact with (customers, stakeholders, directors etc.)
- Tools or software you use (MS Office, Autocad, Revit etc.)
- Regular work you produce (Websites, Excel documents, Marketing content etc.)
- Key achievements
- Relevant skills or online courses you’ve completed as part of your employment
By writing about your current job role in detail, it helps to give the recruiter all the information they need about your work ethic and personality. Previous roles and work history should be condensed to save space on your resume.
Hiring managers look for key achievements
Facts, figures, and key achievements allow recruiters to understand your added value because they give them an idea of the work you’ve been involved in and the impact of your involvement.
Bullet points that include numbers and key data help to quantify the results you have achieved for yourself, employers, and clients.
When writing your CV, try to add some measurable achievements for example:
- Completed all design projects on time coming in 10% under budget.
- Found two design flaws in ongoing projects, preventing failure of project.
- Produced 2D and 3D visualisations that supported the company in winning a €500,000 contract.
Education and training
Recruiters need to assess if candidates are qualified for the job they’ve applied for and listing any additional training you have completed such as online courses or lectures will help to show the recruiter that you are committed to learning.
Whilst you don’t need to list every exam you’ve ever taken, it’s important to tailor your CV for the job you’re applying for. If you’re applying for a position in the engineering sector for example it’s important that your resume lists qualifications that you may have.
Up-to-date contact information
This one might go without saying, but you wouldn’t believe the number of candidates that forget to put their up-to-date contact information on their resume. It’s important to include your phone number (including country dialling code), email address and LinkedIn page (if you have one) so that recruiters can contact you about your job application.
You don’t need to include any personal details such as date of birth, driving license status or address if it isn’t relevant. Ensure you double-check all information is correct and test any links.
Correct spelling and grammar
Things recruiters love to see on a good CV is correct spelling and grammar. No matter how qualified you may be for the job, if your resume is laden with poor spelling and grammar mistakes then your job search won’t make it past the first hurdle.
In fact, too many good resumes are let down because of simple errors.
Hiring managers are picky about good grammar and spelling, which is why they’ll have no problems in making snap judgements based on a poorly written CV. This is often the reason a lot of the best-qualified candidates will miss out on jobs.
A personal statement at the top of your resume is the perfect opportunity to grab the recruiter’s attention and sell yourself. You should aim to create a summary of how your skills match the job description and briefly explain your experience, education as well as a summary of why you’re applying for the role.
On average, recruiters spend less than a minute scanning your CV, so make your personal statement count!
This should fall under your personal statement section, and it serves as the ideal place to express what you’re looking for. Don’t be generic – show the employer how you want to progress your career. Ensure that all information is relevant to the position you’re applying for.
Expressing your lifelong passion to be a designer won’t do you any favours if you’re applying for a role in supply chain management!
Hobbies and interests
Things recruiters like to see on your CV is your hobbies and interests, mostly because they’re nosy but it also helps to give the person who is applying for the new role a personality.
While 95% of your CV tells the story of your career, the hobbies and interests section reveals more about who you are.
Benefits of including hobbies on your CV include:
- Makes your CV more personal
- Allows you to show voluntary and community-focused projects
- Gives you something to talk about during your interview
Many job seekers stop themselves from being considered for a new role by making simple errors in their applications. The good news is that these errors can be easily fixed, usually by double-checking your CV prior to submission.
Remember, you should always tailor your CV for the position and country you’re applying for – so what are you waiting for? With this advice, you could find yourself in an amazing new role in no time! | <urn:uuid:728bb672-1246-4a67-ae3a-e3ea0d4dc777> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://gpcireland.com/what-recruiters-want-to-see-on-your-cv/ | 2022-01-25T08:45:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.931641 | 1,427 |

Mount Sinai’s Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine and the Mount Sinai-National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute possess unique strengths in pulmonary investigation and has established a robust portfolio of collaborative research efforts as we endeavor to discover how lung diseases develop, how they spread, who is vulnerable, and what actions can be taken to control or cure them.
Several multi-center clinical trials are underway, as well as fundamental science and translational research efforts. Select research in progress includes:
- Charles Powell, MD, Institute CEO, supported by major NIH grants, is exploring the genomics of lung cancer tumors in order to determine endotypes and phenotypes (distinct traits and characteristics) with the goal of creating personalized treatment strategies. Dr. Powell has recruited Hideo Watanabe, MD, PhD from Dana Farber to extend lung cancer research to include studies of single cell genomics and epigenetic regulation of lung development and lung cancer differentiation.
- Linda Rogers, MD, Clinical Director of the Asthma Program, recruited in 2014 to Mount Sinai, explores severe asthma in urban populations and asthma in the elderly. She is an investigator in the Digital Medicine program to evaluate mobile health applications such as the Asthma Health Study. Current grants support her studies in inhaled steroids for the treatment of asthma and methods for reducing airway reactivity. Dr. Rogers is the site PI for the ALA Airways Network at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
- David Rapoport, MD, is the Director for the Center of Integrative Sleep Medicine. Dr. Rapoport and his research and clinical team were recruited in 2015. The goals of the program are to study sleep pathophysiology and study the effects that sleep and sleep disorders have on other organ systems as well as to maximize the opportunities for training and support for young academic researchers in this area. Dr. Rapoport’s team includes Indu Ayappa, PhD who holds a K24 award, Neomi Shah, MD who is a K23 funded investigator, and Neurologist Andrew Varga, MD.
- Sidney Braman, MD, Clinical Director of the COPD Program, is site PI for the PCORI RELIANCE COPD Network trial at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
- Lisa Richman, MD and Kusum Mathews, MD are co-investigators in the NHLBI funded PETAL (Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury) Clinical Trials Network site at Mount Sinai.
- Adam Morgenthau, MD, Director of the Sarcoidosis Clinic, is conducting multiple clinical trials on potential therapeutics for the treatment of the disease, and has a provisional patent on a new sarcoid therapeutic strategy that targets serum amyloid alpha.
- Maria Padilla, MD, Clinical Director of the Advanced Lung/ILD Program, has a number of clinical trials underway on potential treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the most common form of Interstitial Lung Disease, which is often caused by environmental toxins.
- Juan Wisnivesky, MD, DrPh, Chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine and Vice-Chair for Research, is a Pulmonologist Clinical investigator with interest in comparative effectiveness evaluation in respiratory diseases that include asthma, lung cancer and COPD. He is mentor of the Pulmonary Journal Club and mentor to Pulmonary research fellows.
- Gerry Turino, MD, Director of Lung Research at Mount Sinai Morningside and Professor of Medicine, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, a leading expert in COPD research, is advancing work on COPD biomarker development and treatment strategies.
Mount Sinai’s extensive and diverse patient population, sophisticated technologies dedicated to data capture and analysis, culture of collaborative, interdisciplinary research, and commitment to personalized treatment, will support expanded Institute research efforts. National Jewish Health’s large network related to COPD trials will be of particular importance moving forward as we develop new studies with the goal of halting the increase in the incidence of COPD and reducing the distress experienced by patients with the disease. | <urn:uuid:d0ecfbaa-ef05-43c0-bc25-e5de93605d40> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://icahn.mssm.edu/about/departments/medicine/pulmonary/research | 2022-01-25T08:30:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.929545 | 834 |
TOTeM 34 takes place on 22 and 23 April 2010 and is the 34th in the IFRF’s series of Topic Oriented Technical Meetings. The topic of this particular TOTeM is Gas Turbine Research and the venue is Cardiff University’s Gas Turbine Research Centre in Port Talbot, Wales. The meeting will concentrate on alternative fuels, combustion, and related aspects of environmental protection and operability issues.
The TOTeM will be introduced by a Keynote Lecture from the Chair on the subject of “Gas turbines of the future – the need for research”. In the last weeks, the Organising Committee has developed a list of sub-topics as follows:
- Gas Turbine combustion – alternative fuels
- Gas Turbine combustion – instabilities and operational issues
- Gas Turbine emissions and environmental impact
- Computer based simulation for design
- Combustion chemistry under elevated temperature and pressure
- Gas turbine blade cooling – state-off-the-art and perspectives
- Infrastructures for gas turbine research
For each of these sub-topics, an international expert in the field has been approached with an invitation to present the lecture. We are happy to inform IFRF Members that we have reached provisional agreement with almost all of the proposed speakers and we look forward to announcing the full programme early in the New Year. At that time we will invite our industrial Members and associated universities to present their work in progress in these fields, within the poster session and the focused discussion sessions.
It is perhaps worth repeating that within the TOTeM format established by the IFRF, the discussion session is aimed at determining the short, medium and long term research goals in a particular field. It is typical of the TOTeM process that the determination of the research goals feeds directly into the establishment of the IFRF’s own research policy. In all cases, all the information produced becomes very swiftly available to the IFRF community through the IFRF website.
MNM readers will be regularly updated on developments in TOTeM 34 planning. Meanwhile we suggest that you diarise the event and plan to participate.
Compliments of the Season from the TOTeM 34 Organising Committee. | <urn:uuid:b85b5cb7-b0d0-499a-8ad9-4b97e3e646de> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ifrf.net/ifrf-blog/more-news-on-totem-34/ | 2022-01-25T08:54:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.93089 | 476 |
Aidan Weicard Print

These prints are derived from original works of Aidan Weichard. They are printed on high quality paper and are ready to frame. (Includes Framing Mat)
Size: 30cm * 30cm
Aidan Weichard, lives in West Gippsland, Victoria. Art is his passion, his outlet and quite simply my way of displaying his appreciation for beautiful animals, people and landscapes. He's been creating art as an emerging artist for the past 5 years but have been intrigued by art his whole life. The studio is situated amongst the things he loves to paint, beautiful animals and the Gippsland region all at the door step which constantly inspires him. He uses bold and bright colours to create portraits of animals and people as well as landscapes. For Aidan he believes colour reflects and emphasises either a characteristic, personality or emotion that animals, people and places generate within us. Aidan uses the light in an image to create tonal colour contrasts, some subtle and others more obvious with the intent of building depth and perspective. Keeping the majority of his artworks fluid and abstracted contrasted against hints of detail in crucial components such as the eyes, forces imaginative reconstruction to see a piece in its entirety. He works in varied mediums from oil, acrylic, enamel, charcoal and spray paint. Using mixed media dramatizes and accentuates elements unique to the subject matter.

Weight: 77.30 tcw.
Size: 33 x 12 mm.
Color: Yellow, Tea, Aqua Blue, Pink, Red and Purple
Cut: Emerald Bar
Here is an amazing set of Fluorites! This intriguing and beautiful Fluorite material came from Argentina many years ago. The deposit has since changed due to continuous mining and the best of the tight striped color patterns are gone. The deposit now has only a few grey colored layers of Fluorite that are in broad bands and not nearly as pretty as the earlier material. These stones display a lovely striped pattern of yellow, tea and a beautiful Aqua blue/green color with a fine stripe of pink between the yellow and blue, with some lovely stripes of purple. These gems make lovely pieces of jewelry, especially in pendants. They are also a dwindling treasure, and no more good ones are currently being mined, so don’t miss it. Enjoy!

After tasting this multi-layered confection of silky-smooth chocolate layers, you’ll swear there’s some black magic involved in making these sinfully delicious treats.
We take a swirl of a decadent Meyers Dark rum blend with two different types of rum and layer it into a soft chocolate center, then dip it in dark, rich chocolate for a dual dose of chocolatey pleasure. Then, as a flourishing finish, we roll each one in crunchy chocolate sprinkles and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar. You’ll never go back to eating plain old chocolates again after just one taste of our Rum Balls!
Perfect for deliciously thoughtful little gift, a crowning royal touch for a dinner party, or a mid-week pick-me-up for yourself!
To keep these treats as tasty as they should be, we prefer to only ship them in cool weather or with Cool Packaging (but hey, you can always take a little road trip and come get some in person, all year ‘round!)

Build your audience and then monetize. Is that true?
“First, build an audience. Then, create the product.” Joe Pulizzi.
Is that true?
Is building your audience first the right approach when starting your business?
Yes, we buy from brands we trust. Without visibility and authority in your field, it isn’t very likely to launch a booming product. However, this strategy does not guarantee 100% success. Numerous flourishing projects prove this theory to be one of several possible approaches but not the only one to make it.
Yes, we buy from people we trust
We build trust over time and exposure (brand awareness). A killer product or service with no visibility or authority is likely to fail more. But it takes time to establish trust.
Will you have the patience for it?
Build your audience with Joe Pulizzi
When you’re getting serious about building an audience, I recommend the fantastic book Content Inc.: How Entrepreneurs Use Content to Build Massive Audiences and Create Radically Successful Businesses by Joe Pulizzi.
In this book, Joe Pulizzi advocate building your audience first as the solution to prevent start-ups fail. Creating your product in your garage and engaging with potential customers later is, according to him, the reason why 90% of start-ups go bankrupt.
The new approach is to engage first and figure out a product to sell afterwards. You build an audience in your chosen digital space. Your followers will share with you their problems, pain points, and then you have a product possibility. Even a hater is a business opportunity if you can extract the positive outcome of the interaction.
Engage first, create after.
Joe Pulizzi is well known for the sweet spot formula:
Knowledge or Skill + Passion.
“Find the sweet spot that works for you. While we have many knowledge and skills areas, we have much less passion. So start with your passions in mind.”
I use the Ikigai to help people find their niche with a 4 Steps Proven Method.
Is it the killer strategy? Well, it depends.
What is the right way to monetize your audience for you?
Are you building your audience for content marketing only or a product/business? How will you monetize it?
You can easily monetize your audience from a blog and social media accounts with affiliate marketing and advertising. People enjoy what you say, write and publish, and this is enough to generate money.
How to monetize your audience:
- Affiliate Marketing
- Paid Products (books/ebooks, courses, premium content and coaching)
In most situations listed above, you are the product you sell. You = your business. People buy because it’s you. While being extremely flattering, you’re not building a scalable business because there is only one you. You have codependency with your business.
Besides, there are numerous downsides to building your audience first. It’s not a guarantee that your product will sell.
Your audience is only one of the numerous factors of success
When you build an audience first and then monetize, you better start to have a serious conversation with yourself beforehand. Here is what to know before starting.
Will your audience follow the same speed and grow as you?
You change as you evolve and age. What’s fun, engaging for you now might not be in the future.
Knowing oneself and your values is essential to fuel your visibility in the long run. If you are deeply passionate about one or maybe two topics since childhood, you have the necessary expert profile to feed your audience in the long run without growing tired of it. Very few individuals can reinvent themselves, and even artistic people can feel limited in the public image that sticks with them. In some extreme cases, this affects mental health.
Are you in a niche that allows you to monetize?
Some niches are more accessible to monetize than others. Moreover, it is essential to understand trends and long-lasting changes. Influencers that have the intelligence to grasp the contradiction of an audience to shape their notoriety around it are the ones most likely to make it.
Knowledge is power. Comprehend the niche market you address, and people need essential to target the right platform. Your message can be compelling, but it will reach its target published where your future clients are.
For instance, there are tremendous opportunities with the silver economy – which are baby boomers ageing. They are more connected than the previous generation, are dynamic and request more and more services online. But, that’s may not be the right audience for you if you are not passionate about it.
On the contrary, a person fascinated with watersports and constantly sharing his opinion on material, brands and spots tips is ideally skilled into a niche that could generate a complementary income for him.
Do you want to be the product or building a business?
When you are the business, the face and everything revolves around you. There is not much time left to work on your business. You’re too busy working into it. Investors or banks are reluctant to support personal brands as they are too intrinsically connected to a strong leader and rarely transform into lucrative companies.
Creating a business requires implementing a framework for other people to operate and serves the brand vision, mission and purpose. Your popularity is excellent leverage to gain attention and expose you to the right people. However, this asset can become a limit when you scale up or retire from your company. Only a few brands resist the test of time, and many entrepreneurs fail to hand over their company effectively.
Do I enjoy more working alone or with people?
What do you need to ask yourself to decide: Do I enjoy working alone or with people more?
When you enjoy working on your own, you have an expert profile. In other words, the ideal consulting/coaching configuration. Creating a job for yourself means freedom, pleasure, and control. You can be the product and make a living with great joy.
When you are a team player, as I do, creating a job for yourself is imitative. At my core, I enjoy building human adventures with and for other people. I enjoy co-creating, collective intelligence, and networking. I love to convey knowledge and fail forward. The freedom I enjoy the most is the one that comes from being able to rely on others in a group. It is why building a business is more likely to bring me the independence that satisfies me.
Individual brand or business, what’s the difference?
Great businesses are the ones that are designed to be massive since day one. Entrepreneurs who organize their companies with these possibilities are more likely to achieve great results and stand the test of time.
When you start building an audience around your person, keep in mind that you will likely design an individual business that provides work for you. It’s a fantastic and rewarding adventure, but it’s different from creating a business with others as a team effort. Clarify your goals and prepare for the outcome you’re after.
It’s both: create and engage at the same time
“If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.” Thomas J. Watson
Build yourself or your product first; your audience will come. According to my experience, it’s doing both: creating your product in your garage while engaging with potential customers.
Your business doesn’t have to be an overnight success. It takes time to find the right market/product fit. When you build your audience first, you close yourself to opportunities, and necessary pivots can be painful to implement.
Building your audience first delay the necessary entrepreneurship experience for your company to thrive at a later stage. Every great company or wealthy person learned a lot from failures.
- Build your audience and monetize at the same time.
- Think business, think value-added and impact even if you don’t monetize it yet.
- Try, fail and learn in the pure tradition of Eric Ries build-measure-learn-feedback loop for success.

What I like most about this recipe is the reward you receive. Once the potatoes are done they look beautiful and the taste is fantastic. This is a recipe that I have very few words to say … It is simple, delicious, and perfect!
- 1 1/2 kg of purple potatoes, do not peel them
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- salt to taste
- melange of peppercorns, whole
- 1/2 cup sage leaves
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Thinly slice the potatoes with a mandolin.
- In a large bowl with olive oil, salt and peppercorns toss the potatoes to combine.
- Lightly oil a baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes.
- Stack the potatoes in even rows. Randomly place the sage leaves between the potato layers.
- Roast for approximately one hour until they are golden and crispy. Use a small knife and insert it inside the potatoes to make sure they are cooked.
- Sprinkle some sea salt flakes and serve.
- The quantity of potatoes used depends on the size of your baking dish.
- Do not use extra virgin oil, when cooked for too long it can become bitter. Use vegetable oil if you want.
- You can use purple potatoes, Sebago or Royal delight potatoes. | <urn:uuid:25279c78-3de1-4d13-9e44-dc8319df0bc3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://perth-to-paris.com/2017/11/23/layered-crispy-potatoes-sage/ | 2022-01-25T07:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.915693 | 279 |
Porphyria is not a single disease but a group of eight inherited genetic disorders that differ considerably from each other. A common feature in all Porphyrias is the accumulation in the body of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors. Although these are normal body chemicals, they normally do not accumulate. Precisely which of these chemicals builds up depends on the type of Porphyria.
The terms porphyrin and porphyria are derived from the Greek word porphyrus, meaning purple. Urine from some Porphyria patients may be reddish-purple in color due to the presence of excess porphyrins and related substances in the urine, and the urine may darken after exposure to light.
Porphyria arises as a result of a malfunction in one of the eight steps in the body's synthesis of a complex molecule called heme. Heme is essential for the transport of oxygen to cells in the body. If any step in the synthesis of heme is blocked, an intermediate chemical accumulates in the cell. Those intermediate chemicals, known as porphyrins or porphyrin precursors, are the substances of which heme is composed. Each type of Porphyria represents a deficiency of a specific enzyme needed for the synthesis of heme.
Most commonly the Porphyrias are divided into the “acute” and “cutaneous” Porphyrias, depending on the primary symptoms. For many with one of the four acute Porphyrias, Porphyria attacks generally evolve and become more severe over several days, especially the abdominal pain; two of these, Variegate Porphyria and Hereditary Coproporphyria, may also have skin symptoms of blistering after sun exposure. The cutaneous Porphyrias present with blistering and scarring of the skin, pain, and/or redness and swelling in sun-exposed areas.
There are four types of acute Porphyrias: Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP), Hereditary Coproporphyria (HCP), Variegate Porphyria (VP), and δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) Porphyria (ADP), which are characterized by episodes of debilitating attacks. These are genetic disorders that are very rare and may be difficult to diagnose for this reason. It is estimated that about 1 in 10,000 Europeans or people of European ancestry have a mutation in one of the genes that cause AIP, VP or HCP. These mutations have been found in all races and many other ethnicities in addition to Europeans.
Approximately 80-90% of individuals who carry a gene mutation for Acute Intermittent Porphyria, Variegate Porphyria, and Hereditary Coproporphyria remain asymptomatic, and others may have only one or a few acute attacks throughout life. The most frequent symptom is severe abdominal pain and is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Other symptoms may include heart palpitations, seizures, and hallucinations. People with VP and HCP may also have skin symptoms of blistering after sun exposure.
All but one of the cutaneous Porphyrias cause skin blistering and fragility on sun-exposed areas of the body, most commonly the backs of the hands, forearms, face, ears and neck. The cutaneous Porphyrias are: Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT), Hepatoerythropoietic Porphyria (HEP), Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria (CEP), Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP), and X-linked Protoporphyria (XLP). CEP and HEP occur in childhood with severe blistering skin lesions. PCT occurs in adulthood generally and has less severe blistering skin lesions after sun exposure. Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked Protoporphyria (XLP) have the same symptoms of painful, but non-blistering, reactions to sunlight. There can also be swelling and redness of the sun exposed areas of the skin with EPP and XLP.
The Porphyrias are rare diseases. Taken together, all forms of Porphyria afflict fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Based on European studies, the prevalence of the most common Porphyria, Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT), is 1 in 10,000; the most common acute Porphyria, Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AlP), is about 1 in 20,000; and the most common erythropoietic Porphyria, Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP), is estimated at 1 in 50,000 to 75,000. Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria (CEP) is extremely rare with prevalence estimates of 1 in 1,000,000 or less. Only 9 cases of ALAD-deficiency Porphyria (ADP) are documented.
The signs and symptoms and vary significantly from one type of Porphyria to the next. Because the symptoms of the various Porphyrias may resemble symptoms of other more common disorders, diagnosis may be difficult. The onset, severity and type of symptoms can vary greatly in individuals with a specific type of Porphyria. This variation may depend on, in part, the amount of residual enzyme activity in each individual. Individuals with more significant enzyme deficiency may have more severe symptoms and earlier onset. Individuals with partial deficiency will have milder symptoms, and some individuals will not develop any symptoms (asymptomatic). It is important to note that affected individuals may not have all of the symptoms discussed below. Affected individuals should talk to their medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis.
Abdominal pain is the most common complaint in Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP). In addition, some of the following symptoms occur with varying frequency: pain in the arms and leg, generalized weakness, vomiting, confusion, constipation, tachycardia, fluctuating blood pressure, urinary retention, psychosis, hallucinations, and seizures. The muscle weakness may progress to respiratory paralysis, necessitating artificial respiration. Porphobilinogen (PBG) and Aminolevulenic Acid (ALA), porphyrin precursors, are elevated during the attack but may be consistently high in some patients. Urine may exhibit a purple-red color. Unlike other forms of Porphyria, sun sensitivity is not present in this type.
Variegate Porphyria (VP) is characterized by abrasions, blisters, and erosions of the skin which are commonly seen during the second and third decade. These lesions tend to heal slowly, often leaving pigmented or slightly depressed scars. The patients experience sensitivity to light and fragility of skin exposed to the sun. Although in many patients’ manifestations remain limited to the skin, episodes similar to those of acute Porphyria are not uncommon. Therefore, the symptoms, drugs, precautionary measures, and treatment described for Acute Intermittent Porphyria are applicable to Variegate Porphyria.
The large amounts of coproporphyrin present in Hereditary Coproporphyria (HCP) makes the patient sensitive to sunlight, but skin disease is rarely severe in this type of Porphyria. Clinically it resembles Variegate Porphyria except that a larger percentage of affected individuals exhibit few symptoms. Other symptoms are similar to those listed for Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) can have mild to severe light sensitivity and burning on exposure to the sunlight. Usually, the symptoms subside in twelve to twenty-four hours and heal without significant scarring or discoloration to the skin. The skin lesions may also progress to a chronic stage persisting for weeks and healing with a superficial scar. These manifestations generally begin in childhood. They are more severe in the summer and can recur throughout life. Affected skin, at times, exhibits the fragility or blister formation seen in other photosensitizing types of Porphyria. Liver dysfunction along with gallbladder, bile duct or bile involvement (hepatobiliary system) may be associated with significant liver damage.
In Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT), exposed skin shows abnormalities similar to those found in Variegate Porphyria. They range from slight fragility of the skin to persistent scarring and disfiguration. Due to fragility of the skin, minor trauma may induce blister formation. Areas of increased and decreased pigment content may be noted on the skin. Blistering of light exposed skin and increased hair growth, especially on the face, are also characteristic.
Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria (CEP) is a very rare disease with approximately 150 patients reported in the world. CEP is often manifested shortly after birth with dark urine and sunlight sensitivity causing blistering and skin fragility. Later, brownish, fluorescent teeth, increased hair growth, and pronounced scarring may occur. In some cases, loss of fingers and toes and cartilage from ears or nose may be noted.
ALA-D Porphyria (ADP) symptoms usually arise from effects on the nervous system and/or the skin. Sometimes, the cause of the nervous system symptoms is not clear. Skin manifestations include burning, blistering, and scarring of the sun exposed areas. The disease usually manifests after puberty, and more commonly occurs in women. The most common symptom is severe abdominal pain. Other characteristics are nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, confusion and/or seizures, and the passing of ALA (delta-aminolevulinic acid) in the urine.
Porphyria is diagnosed through blood, urine, and stool tests, and increasingly by DNA (genetic testing).
There are many laboratory tests available for the Porphyrias, and the right tests to order depend on the type of Porphyria the doctor suspects. When abdominal and neurological symptoms suggest an acute hepatic Porphyria, the best screening tests are urinary porphobilinogen (PBG) and aminolevulinic acid (ALA). When there are cutaneous symptoms that suggest Porphyria, the best screening test is a plasma porphyrin assay. If one of these screening tests is abnormal, more extensive testing, including urinary, fecal, and red blood cell porphyrins, are often indicated.
DNA testing to identify the specific mutation in an individual’s Porphyria-causing gene is also recommended. Before requesting DNA testing, it is helpful that patients have biochemical testing. However, many patients have not had an acute attack or are not symptomatic at present, so biochemical testing may be inconclusive.
In contrast, DNA testing is the most accurate and reliable method for determining if a person has a specific Porphyria and is considered the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of genetic disorders. If a mutation (or change) in the DNA sequence is found in a specific Porphyria-causing gene, the diagnosis of that Porphyria is confirmed. DNA analysis will detect more than 97% of disease-causing mutations. DNA testing can be performed whether the patient is symptomatic or not. Once a mutation has been identified, DNA analysis can then be performed on other family members to determine if they have inherited that Porphyria, thus allowing identification of individuals who can be counseled about appropriate management in order to avoid or minimize disease complications.
Please see Testing Options for detailed information.
The prevalence of Porphyria remains unknown, but clinicians suggest that a range of 1 per 500-50,000 of population is probable. Some forms of Porphyria are more common in specific populations including, for example, in Finland.
Treatment is specific to the type of Porphyria.
The basic defect cannot presently be treated, but significant effort is being directed toward treating the underlying mechanisms that cause symptoms.
Some people who are identified as having inherited an acute Porphyria do not have symptoms. It is important for those people, as well as for those who have symptoms, to be aware of preventive measures that may help them avoid episodes of Porphyria symptoms. These preventive measures include avoidance of certain drugs and alcohol for some types of Porphyria. For some people, they may also include avoidance of exposure to sunlight because sun sensitivity can occur with some types of Porphyria.
Some of the drugs that affected individuals may need to avoid include barbiturates, tranquilizers, birth control pills, sedatives, and alcohol. The Safe/Unsafe Drug List offers a complete assessment of the potential of drugs to provoke attacks of acute Porphyria and is intended for use by healthcare professionals.
An orphan drug known as Panhematin® (hemin for injection), is approved for use as a treatment for various forms of acute Porphyria and is administered intravenously. It is extremely potent, and its use typically follows a period of glucose therapy that has not produced the desired results.

Hello minions! Today, we have a post written by my husband. The only thing I wanna say about it is that I adore the original Vader but I think this is a really interesting thing to think about. So his words:
I’ve been thinking about Star Wars a lot lately, what with all the hype for Episode VII. There are a lot of people who are incredibly excited (and who could blame them; the trailers are AWESOME!), but there are also a lot of people who are afraid that it will be the prequels all over again. I’ve been thinking a lot about the prequels and how Anakin’s character development was inconsistent with the Vader we see in the original trilogy. It got me thinking, what would have happened if the movies had been made in chronological order and the scripts for IV, V, and VI changed accordingly? Because the Darth Vader we see in the original movies does not fit with the Darth Vader we see at the end of Episode III; they are not the same person. Who would the Episode III Vader become?
As Episode IV opens, one of the first thing we see Vader do is force choke a rebel. It’s something he does with impunity all throughout the original trilogy. It’s like he gets reward miles for every use and he’s trying to save up enough for a trip from Coruscant to the Outer Rim.
But what about the Vader we leave at the end of Episode III? Remember, he has used force choke precisely once, and as far as he knows he killed his wife because of it. Would that Vader ever use a force choke ever again? Perhaps he would, but surely there would be some sign of the tragedy he associates with it. Perhaps his hand would shake slightly as he raised it. Perhaps this would be followed by a moment of hesitation before he began choking someone.
What else would be different? In the original trilogy, we’re never given a reason why Vader works for Palpatine, other than that they’re both eeeeeeeevil -hissssssss-. But with the new Vader, we have a solid reason. Anakin Skywalker is a man who more than anything else values family and friendship, even if he doesn’t always know how to act accordingly. At the end of Episode III, Palpatine is the only “family” he has left. Of course he would cling to him.
But then what happens in Episode V when Vader finds out he has a son? I think Vader would be pissed at Palpatine. “You told me I killed my wife! She must have lived if I have a son!” Then Palpatine has to scramble to explain this away, to keep up his charade. “She did die because of the wounds you inflicted. How could I have known that she survived long enough to give birth?” With his silver tongue he would satisfy Vader, but the seed of doubt would be planted. Vader would immediately pour his every effort into finding Luke, not because he is a Rebel, or because he would be a valuable ally, but because he is his son. He has family again, he hasn’t lost Padme completely. As he has always done, he would do anything to be with his family and those he cares about.
So he storms the Rebel base at Hoth. When Luke slips away in the ensuing chaos, he hires bounty hunters to track the Millennium Falcon, as Han and Leia are the most likely to know where to find him. He threatens Cloud City, tortures Han, does anything to get his son back. And then Luke comes and Vader has a chance to finally meet him. And this son that he has gone to every length to find not only hates him but tries to kill him.
Vader tries to speak with Luke, tries not to fight him, but Luke gives him no choice. Vader chops Luke’s lightsaber hand off. He then tries to explain himself, but Luke yells that Obi-wan explained that Vader killed his father; then Luke refuses to believe that Vader is his father. Imagine the emotions that would be swirling inside the sith lord. Immense pain that his son, his only family, hates him. Rage that Obi-wan has stolen his family from him once again.
Luke escapes and once again Vader takes up searching for him. His sources hear about the disturbance at Jabba’s palace. The report details Luke’s involvement, including one fact that is terrifying to this particular father: Luke force choked one of the guards. Vader panics. His son is going down the same path of hatred and destruction as he did. And suddenly he realizes that maybe Obi-wan was not his enemy. Maybe Obi-wan was on his side, maybe he was just trying to help and Vader refused to understand and pushed him away. The seed of doubt grows.
And then the climactic final showdown with the Emperor ensues. Vader’s only “friend” turns on him immediately, telling Luke to kill his father and take his place. And Luke almost does.
So when he doesn’t kill him, Vader is filled with pride and relief, not that he isn’t dead, but that his son didn’t follow that path, that he resisted this snake for whose charms he himself had fallen. Palpatine turns his lightning on Luke, and Vader’s choice is clear. He sacrifices himself to save his son, the embodiment of the life he could have had. And as he lies dying he asks Luke to remove his helmet, to symbolically cleanse him of the influence of the Emperor, to see the son he loves with his own two eyes.
So, is this Vader better than the one that we got in Episodes IV, V, and VI? I don’t know, and I guess we never will. But it’s fun to think about, and doing these sorts of exercises can really help you to come to understand your villain, to get insider their head and make them real. So the next time you’re stuck with your villains, think about the Vader we could have had and see if that doesn’t help. | <urn:uuid:b2f26b88-5ff4-4872-a16e-048cfd8dd493> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://riithewordsmith.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/guest-post-the-darth-vader-we-could-have-had/ | 2022-01-25T07:45:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.986003 | 1,293 |
Psalm 104; Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 65:17-25; Revelation 22:12-15, 20-21
The world in which we woke this morning is an astonishing and awe-inspiring place. It is a wonderfully balanced biosystem. It has the capacity to provide resources of untold variety for us to consume, to continually renew itself, and to absorb the wastes we create.
There is no way in which the world relies on us for its being, yet we are completely dependent on it for life. And the rise of consumer culture is straining the capacity of the Earth to continue doing this.
Climate change is a significant factor, but only one of several dangers that fundamentally threaten the fragile balance of the ecosystems on which we depend for our existence. In 2009 a group of eminent earth scientists wrote a paper titled, “A safe operating space for humanity.”
In the paper, they argued that there are nine environmental boundaries that, once crossed, will significantly reduce the capacity of the earth to function as a safe operating space for humanity. They propose that we have already crossed three of those boundaries (climate change, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of the nitrogen cycle), and are perilously close to crossing another three boundaries (ocean acidification, change of land use, and disruption of the phosphorus cycle).
The prospect of humankind heading down this broad road leading to destruction, and gathering pace as we do so, careless of the dangers that lie ahead, and of our responsibilities to each other and to future generations, is bad enough in itself.
But what of the Christians among us, who claim to know God as Creator and Sovereign and Judge, and who have a sacred commission to serve as stewards of all the Earth’s natural resources and systems?
And what of God, who spoke the Earth into existence, who shaped it and wove its atoms into intricate systems within systems, and created this vast biodiversity in all its splendour and complexity? What does God, the author of life, think of the impact of the footprints of seven billion jackboots in the face of his sacred creation?
When American poet John Crowe Ransom published his first book in 1919, he titled it Poems about God. Psalm 104 is another poem about God – one of the most majestic and profound reflections on God and his works ever penned.
American theologian Walter Brueggemann describes this psalm as “an extended celebration of the goodness and awesome character of creation.” Nineteenth century Baptist preacher C.H. Spurgeon cast the psalm as “one of the loftiest and longest sustained flights of the inspired muse.” When the Anglican preacher and pastor John Stott wrote his Favorite Psalms, this was among them.
Psalm 104 is a song of sustained praise to God, celebrating and revering his worth. It commences with a call to praise (v 1a); suggests how God reveals himself in the natural environment (vv 1b-4); describes some of the ways in which God created and sustains the universe (vv 5-30); and closes with a prayer that God will rejoice in his creation, and a commitment to lifelong praise of God (vv 31-35).
Unlike many of the biblical psalms, “while praise psalms are filled with the speaker’s emotions, we do not look at the speaker. Instead we look with the speaker at God.” See, for example, verses 1-4, 10-15, 27-28. The psalm extols the wisdom, power, creativity, benevolence, generosity, freedom and love of God. And it witnesses to the dependence of all life on God, and the interdependence of different forms of life.
Now nothing takes God by surprise, but I am sure he is deeply saddened by the ways in which our greed and carelessness have trashed his creation. Perhaps we have even kindled his holy anger against what we might call “ecological sin” – our failure as a species, divinely commissioned, to care for the Earth.
But there is another aspect to the divine displeasure, beyond our calling of duty, that I want to suggest to you this morning. My colleague at Mercer University in the U.S., Professor David Gushee, who presented the annual John Saunders Lecture at Morling College in 2010, observes that, prior to the 1960s, “Western Christianity had lost touch with the resources for a creation care ethic that were present within the Bible and scattered in our theological tradition.”
He says that recently, more and more Christian thinkers have considered the issues associated with the growing environmental catastrophe, and searched for “a Christian-theological-ethical posture adequate to address them.” There are three main approaches: theocentric, anthropocentric, and biocentric – which he outlines well but I will not go into today.
Gushee notes the central moral norm of “sanctity of life,” with which we are all probably familiar, which we apply to human life made in the image of God, giving it particular reverence and respect, “beginning with a commitment to the preservation, protection and flourishing of [human] lives.”
Then he asks whether this biblical doctrine of the sanctity of life may also be applied to other parts of creation. Now there’s a thought! His reasoning is as follows:
What makes creaturely life sacred is God’s own relation to it, not any particular characteristic we might claim for ourselves or any other creature … All creatures bow before the majestic Creator who alone gives them value. In this way, a reframed sanctity of life ethic pulls together all of the themes we have been considering. It is simultaneously biocentric and anthropocentric because it is so deeply theocentric.
There are several important caveats to his proposition, but I think he is right. What makes human lives “sacred,” if we may use that term, is God’s action and declaration toward them. Other creatures, and the plants and ecosystems that sustain them, are also highly valued by God, although probably not “sacred” to the same degree, or in the same way, as humans are “sacred” (cf Luke 12:6f).
So why should we treat animals, plants and ecosystems with a high degree of reverence and respect? God has created them (Gen 1-2), he declares them good (Gen 1:31), he feeds and sustains them (Ps 104; Mt 6:26), he makes covenant with them (Gen 9), he protects them in divine laws (Lev 25; Deut 6:14), he hears their groaning (Rom 8:28), and he promises their ultimate liberation, through the cross and resurrection of Jesus, from bondage to decay (Rom 8:29) in the renewal of all things (Mt 19:28).
And that leads us to a beautiful passage in Isaiah 65:17-25, paralleled in Romans 8:18-25 and Revelation 21-22, where the prophet and the apostles describe men and women with redeemed bodies, hearts and minds, living on an Earth that is bountiful, shared and free from disease and disaster, in communities that are safe, just and welcoming, and where God is present with immediacy and intimacy.
That is where we are going. That is the climax to which history draws us. That is the future that God in his grace and mercy has intended for us – for all of us, people, plants, animals and ecosystems.
But I would not be doing justice to the revealed word of God if I did not also point out that there are moral boundaries to this renewed Earth, and there are people whom God justly excludes, forever, from this new Eden he is in process of creating for his eternal glory and pleasure and praise (Rev 22:12-15, 20-21).
The world around us, in which we woke this morning, is valued and loved by God, and by working in partnership with God for its healing now, we witness to the greater healing to come.

Your Guide to World of Hyatt Lifetime Elite Status

Hyatt, long considered a valuable yet somewhat hard-to-maximize hotel program due to its limited global footprint, has taken significant steps to shed this reputation in recent months. The acquisition of Two Roads Hospitality (expected to close sometime this year) and the new partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (now with over 150 integrated properties) have made the World of Hyatt program an even more compelling option for travelers. When you add in accelerated milestone bonuses as well, more people may now be scrambling for Hyatt elite status.
The biggest drawback to elite status is its ephemeral nature. The minute you get your hands on perks like suite upgrades and bonus points, it seems like it’s already time to start requalifying for next year or risk losing your taste of the good (hotel) life. That’s why Hyatt and several other major hotel chains offer a way to hop off this hamster wheel and lock in elite status for life.
Today we’ll take a look at how to earn lifetime elite status with World of Hyatt and what to expect once you have it.
Requirements for Lifetime Hyatt Elite Status
Like Hilton Honors, the World of Hyatt program only offers the ability to earn its top-tier status (Globalist) for life. TPG Editor Nick Ewen values Globalist status at just under $5,000 thanks to the suite upgrades, 30% points bonus, club lounge/free breakfast and waived resort fees that it offers. Of course, that’s based on using the perks throughout the year, but it’s still quite a valuable level of status
In addition to only offering one tier of lifetime elite status you can earn, Hyatt only uses one metric to earn it, and it cuts right to the core of why hotels offer lifetime elite status in the first place. To earn lifetime Globalist status, you need to accrue one million base points over the life of your account. You’ll earn 5x base points per dollar spent on room rates, dining purchases, spa treatments and other eligible expenses (excluding taxes and fees) at participating hotels, though this is limited to room rates only if you’re staying at a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
(You can also earn 10x base points on FIND experiences and certain Exhale spa purchases. However, given the limited options there, I’ll assume you’re doing all of your spending on hotel rates.)
Now consider what types of earnings are not counted as base points: Elite bonus multipliers, credit card bonuses and point transfers from Ultimate Rewards do not help you pad your total towards lifetime status. The only way to earn additional base points is to spend more. Given the 5x earning rate noted above, to reach one million base points, you’ll need to spend $200,000 on eligible charges. At $10,000 in yearly spending, that’ll still take you two decades to reach.
Business travelers who frequent pricier cities or more luxurious brands like Park Hyatt might be able to hit this threshold relatively quickly. If, on the other hand, you’re a price-conscious award traveler who loves booking Category 1 Hyatt properties for as little as 5,000 points a night, this activity won’t do anything to help you earn lifetime Globalist status.
Globalist status is normally earned by staying 60 nights in a year or earning 100,000 base points. With this activity comes the “standard” Globalist perks along with four suite upgrade awards, a free Category 1-7 certificate and access to a dedicated My Hyatt Concierge agent. However, Lifetime Globalists can enjoy all of these perks every year regardless of their year-to-date activity. In addition, if you can earn even more perks as a Lifetime Globalist by continuing to give your business to Hyatt each calendar year:
- At 50 qualifying nights, you’ll earn another two suite upgrade awards.
- At 60 qualifying nights (or 100,000 base points), you’ll earn another two suite upgrade awards and another Category 1-7 certificate.
In other words, a Lifetime Globalist member who completes 60 nights or earns 100,000 base points in a calendar year will receive a total of eight suite upgrade awards and two Category 1-7 free night certificates. A single certificate redeemed at a top-tier property like the Park Hyatt New York or Park Hyatt Zurich could get you $600, $800 or even $1,000 worth of value by itself. Talk about rewarding long-term loyalty!
(If this sounds too good to be true, check out the Lifetime Globalist section in the World of Hyatt terms and conditions.)
This is one area where Hyatt is much more generous than other programs. Hilton, for example, recently added milestone bonuses for certain thresholds of activity in a year, but you must earn those number of nights in order to qualify. Marriott awards Choice Benefits to Platinum and Titanium Elite members, but you must actually earn 50 and/or 75 nights in a year for those to apply. With Hyatt, you’ll earn all of the perks every year as a Lifetime Globalist member, and you’re given even more rewards for continuing to stay with the program.
Hyatt keeps its lifetime elite status program short and to the point, offering only one tier of status. The program also makes it clear that it’s looking to reward valuable customers, not just loyal ones, as the only metric used to qualify for lifetime status is a function of spending. If your loyalty to Hyatt is built mostly on award stays and elite status earned from a credit card, then lifetime status might not be in your future. However, if your travel patterns afford you the ability to spend $200,000 with Hyatt over the lifetime of your account, you can look forward to a lifetime of Globalist status and annual milestone bonuses, regardless of your activity in that specific year.

We love our tragedies We're both broken in our own little ways We're broken, but we fit together just right You know I saw the black inside your eyes I saw they were eclipsed by mine and they looked just right. When our lights meet, will you know me then? And will you want to know it? It feels like I've known you for so long When our lights meet, will you want me then? And will you ever know it? It seems like you've known me for so long.
Eclipsed elements The objects that become eclipsed most frequently are elements. An eclipsed element is created when it is obscured by a view-private file. An eclipsed file will be listed in a GUI window with a partially shadowed moon icon as in the example below: This event may occur when the dynamic view is not able to delete the local copy of the file after you have checked it in. Note that another view will not have the eclipse, because the view-private file will not be there. Certain applications will create a temporary file within the view, thus creating the eclipsed file situation

"VYSHA NERADA YEKHEZET U'RUU!!"
IMPORTANT NOTE: THRALLS ARE DETECTED THROUGH AN EXAMINE MESSAGE REGARDING THEIR EYES.
Shadowlings are light-sensitive alien creatures from space. They are mainly defensive, but can 'enthrall' humans, which is basically a euphemism for enslavement of their minds. They start off disguised as a normal crewman (they cannot enthrall like this!) and they have to take time to 'hatch' to unlock their full potential.
While hatched, shadowlings will resemble humans with black skin, small horns, red eyes, and claws.
Until they ascend, of course.
Shadowlings have quite a few tricks up their sleeve, from vanishing to freezing the air around them. Below is a list of abilities that shadowlings can use.
|Enthrall||Hatch required||None, but can only enthrall one at a time||A shadowling can grow a cute little tumor on a victim's brain, rearranging their memories and motivations and turning him into an obedient thrall. This takes 21 seconds, and does not itself disable the victim, so shadowlings should use mundane means to do so, such as handcuffs and removal of headsets. Loyalty Implants interfere with this ability; however, the protection is not perfect. It is well within a shadowling's power to disable such implants, though doing so will slow the enthralling process by 65 seconds, long enough to break zipties and run, but not enough time to escape if buckled to something (like an atmospherics pipe or a chair) and held down.
The benefit of thralls to shadowlings extends beyond the utility of an obedient crewmember. Shadowlings gain power directly from their thralls, unlocking new abilities with greater numbers, including their ultimate goal of ascension. Thralls also have their own lesser powers that they can use to help you.
|Hivemind Commune||N/A||At will||Shadowlings and thralls share a telepathic link through which they can communicate silently, undetectably, and at zero cost or cooldown. There may be ways to discern this behavior, but it is unlikely and for now all you can do is simply let their words flow past you.|
|Hatch||N/A||N/A||To access their other abilities, a shadowling must first hatch. A hatching shadowling will first drop its items. After a short delay, it will grow a chrysalis around itself, forming a 3x3 grid of impenetrable but obviously abnormal walls. When the shadowling's evolution is complete, the walls will burst, and the hatched shadowling will emerge. Although headsets, belts, and backpacks must be dropped to evolve, shadowlings are capable of wearing them, and often pick up such items they had previously owned after hatching.
While a hatched shadowling is powerful, and much better equipped to hunt for thralls than an assistant, shadowlings are also obvious after hatching. For this reason, young shadowlings who are not yet sure of their abilities often delay hatching to avoid alerting the crew.
|Glare||Hatch required||30 seconds||Glare is the shadowling's basic single-target stun. By forcing one target's gaze into its own, the shadowling can mesmerize a target from a range to stun and mute him for 10 seconds, but only if they are within 2 tiles. If they are more than 2 tiles away, they simply receive a temporary slowdown coupled with annoying messages (not worth it). While the duration is shorter than the cooldown, and is not long enough for a complete conversion, it does leave plenty of time to restrain the victim and dear god remove the headset.
Glare's targeting relies on a selection menu if there's more than one possible target, so if there's more than one enemy or even an ally in line of sight it's kind of useless if you're in a rush - which you always are when you're trying to stun someone. Get another stun method and make this a last resort.
|Veil||Hatch required||25 seconds||The shadowling's basic defensive ability, Veil instantly puts out nearly all light sources, mobile or otherwise, near the shadowling. Electronic lights such as flashlights, PDA's, gunlights, and light fixtures can be repaired simply by reactivating them, where consoles can be repaired by disconnecting and reconnecting the screen. Glowshrooms turn into shadowshrooms when exposed to this effect. Lights based in fire or bioluminescence are often resilient enough to be unaffected.|
|Icy Veins||Hatch required||2 minutes||Icy Veins is a formidable crowd control ability. Everyone within a short range will instantly have their body temperature reduced to freezing in addition to having it continuously lowered, similar to a cryogenic sting. Targets will also be briefly stunned.|
|Void Jaunt||Hatch required||1 minutes 20 seconds||A weakened version of Ethereal Jaunt that costs stamina while jaunting. They can move through well-lit areas like this, but at a extremely steep stamina cost. It should be noted that if you jaunt until stamcrit, the cooldown will not activate at the price of being in stamcrit. Good for hopping between maints or dodging out of a hairy fight.|
|Collective Mind||Hatch required||30 seconds||To access some abilities, a shadowling must draw on its thralls for power. Using this ability, shadowlings can send out mental "hooks" that latch onto the minds of their thralls, granting the shadowling a count of his thralls, and unlocking any abilities which the number of thralls now allows.|
|Blindness Smoke||Hatch required + 3 Thralls||1 minute||By regurgitating a cloud of black smoke, shadowlings can disorient pursuers. This smoke will induce blindness in and stun non-shadowlings, but heal shadowlings and thralls as well as block light.|
|Sonic Screech||Hatch required + 7 Thralls||30 seconds||The shadowling can let out a piercing screech. This will confuse and deafen nearby humans, damage windows and light fixtures, and stun silicons.|
|Null Charge||Hatch required + 7 Thralls||60 seconds||The shadowling can drain the power from an APC and prevent it from recharging until serviced.|
|Black Recuperation||Hatch required + 9 Thralls||1 minute||With this ability, a shadowling can revive a fallen thrall, healing them of damage completely after a short time. It will also cure diseases, genetic defects, and remove handcuffs the target may be wearing.
Alternatively, a shadowling can 'empower' a living thrall. After a short time, the thrall's abilities will become stronger and they will resemble a shadowperson with three eyes. They will then have the same light sensitivity of normal shadowlings, ableit at a lesser rate. In addition, thralls cannot be dethralled while conscious if in this position. Use this to make stronger thralls of those that you intend to keep at your side for defense - the light sensitivity is a dire weakness for most others.
|Ascendance||Hatch required + 15 Thralls||N/A||If the shadowlings should gain this ability, all hope is lost to the crew. The shadowlings have enough collective power from their thralls to assume their ultimate form, becoming impossible to destroy by conventional means, and gaining terrifying abilities.|
|Below is a list of abilities ascendant shadowlings are known to have used.|
|Annihilate||Ascendant only||At will||Ascendants, with extremely high telekinetic abilities, can easily cause someone's entire body to explode simply by directing a lance of mental energy at them.|
|Hypnosis||Ascendant only||At will||Ascendants can enthrall from a range and with extremely increased speed. Basically, it's a ranged and instant version of enthrall.|
|Plane Shift||Ascendant only||Toggleable||An upgraded version of Shadow Walk, ascendants can simply enter the space between worlds at will at no cost. They use them as passageways, able to move from place to place extremely quickly.|
|Lightning Storm||Ascendant only||10 seconds||The spiritual successor to Icy Veins. Sends out bolts of lightning to everyone nearby, dealing a significant amount of burn damage and knocking down those affected.|
What To Do: If You're A Shadowling
So you're a shadowling. Congratulations! Here's some pointers on how not to die from a lightbulb within thirty seconds.
You're disguised. You don't take any damage from lights and you are undetectable to any means short of godly intervention. You possess two abilities: Hatch, and Hivemind Commune. First off, send a message or two over the hivemind to see if you have any buddies - chances are high that you do. Assess your job's capabilities. Are you the captain? Feel free to change the AI's laws to help all shadowlings. An officer? You can steal some gear for later thralls. Are you an engineer? Build a stunprod or cut power to different areas so they won't be lit up. Just don't spend too long planning: the longer the paranoid among the crew get, the more prepared they are for the unknown, and shadowlings have some hard counters.
There are multiple things to do from the start. If you're confident you can avoid detection, hatching immediately can work since you can easily enthrall people who rush into maintenance early with Glare. Or, you can play it differently and try to covertly sabotage the station first. It's up to you - you're the alien monster, after all.
It should be noted that sabotaging the station to the point of which many crewmembers will attempt to call the shuttle will ultimately backfire against you. Before you hatch you should take this time to prepare for kidnapping and fighting off pursuit, collecting tools, cuffs, and other accessories that might help you deal with threats that come your way as a hatched shadowling.
So you've hatched. You have the rest of your abilities now - use them! Alert your fellow shadowlings (and thralls) that you're hatched over the hivemind, and make more thralls your first priority. You can't wear normal clothes, but you can still put on backpacks and headsets, which is an extremely good idea. You also can't fire anything that relies on a firing pin (guns), but you're immune to atmospheric damage with the exception of the glow of fire and starlight. If you're discovered by a group of people, use your defensive abilities to escape in addition to your thralls. If a single guy sees you, just glare at him, slap some cablecuffs on if you have them, take away his headset, and enthrall him. People whom you enthrall cannot easily be turned back to normal, although surgery is capable of doing so and their new loyalty to you overrides all else. If you enthrall a nuclear operative somehow, they will serve you over their Syndicate friends. If you enthrall the captain, he will do much the same.
Your priority is to gain fifteen thralls. You have the Collective Mind ability which will, after a short time, give you a count of how many thralls you have as well as the needed amount for ascendance. If you get fifteen thralls, use the ability and it will give you the Ascendance ability in a new tab. Simply use that ability and you've won - no need to escape on the shuttle!
The Light and You
While hatched, the light is your worst enemy. You take extreme damage from even being in it, and burn-based stuff like flashbangs, welders, and lasers all hit harder. However, on the other side of the coin, the darkness is extremely beneficial. All wounds will heal. You will have a stun reduction. You have night vision and thermal vision as well, so not being in the darkness at all is a huge downside to everything about you. Use the darkness as your buddy in times hard and easy. The darkness will always give you a shoulder to cry on. He's a bro like that.
I CAN'T SEE!
After you hatch, you may notice that you can only see the tile you're standing on. There's a way to fix this. Look in your action buttons - you should see a blank button called Shift Nerves. This will allow you to change the range of your night vision, all the way from a full screen to none at all. This allows you to be more or less careful with your vision, and to check if something is in the light or not.
So a shadowling mesmerized you by staring into your eyes (lewd) and now you're a thrall! What this means is that your primary goal and objective is to obey the shadowlings and help them at all costs. If you look in your tabs, you have a new one, Shadowling Abilities. In this tab is the Hivemind Commune ability, which lets you communicate on a silent channel with all other thralls and shadowlings. You're basically an Adamantine Golem in terms of where your loyalties lie -- utterly with the shadowlings. Mindshielded? Not anymore, the nanobots are dead. Wizard? Use your spells to help the shadowling. Traitor? Tough luck, if the shadowling wants your uplink you give it to him with zero questions asked. You have no free will.
Keep in mind that many of the shadowling's abilities rely on damaging or manipulating you. Even by helping the shadowlings accomplish their one objective, you are sentencing yourself completely and utterly to death - there is no way around it. You may find yourself drained of half your life, used as bait, used as a bodyguard, deleted from the game world, or suddenly surrounded in the middle of a maintenance tunnel by Security officers who are trying to cave your chest in. Assume you're going to die, but try not to - the shadowlings need you alive.
Thralls can see in the dark with night vision, so make sure you don't accidentally make a Kentucky Fried Shadowling with your PDA light.
You have two advantages that the shadowlings do not: stealth, and immunity to light. You look and function much more like a human, so use this to your advantage to do things for your masters. Keep in touch often.
Finally, you also have a HUD indicator above your head. A more intimidating version can be seen above any shadowlings, hatched or not. Your indicator signals that you are a thrall - only other shadowlings and thralls can see this. If you're killing someone with that HUD indicator, expect a ban.
This is the HUD indicator for shadowlings. These are your masters.
This is the HUD indicator for you and fellow thralls. You obey the shadowlings.
It is important to note that if you are enthralled by one shadowling, you obey all the shadowlings. This includes the others. If Shadowling Bumblefuck tells you that Shadowling Fumbleschmuck isn't your master, ignore him. No matter who enthralled you originally, you must obey all other shadowlings.
Get those shades on.
Once you have become a thrall, your eyes will indicate to the crew whether or not you are a thrall. Anyone examining you will see the text: Their eyes seem unnaturally dark and soulless., however, this can be countered by wearing an item that covers your eyes such as sunglasses.
What can't be countered is the fact that tumor the shadowlings gave you that makes you a thrall shows up on health analyzers in the list of your healthy organs, so it's very difficult to keep your cover against anyone who knows and cares how to figure you out.
So you got captured by the Reds and they're throwing you into the surgery theater. To debrain you? Cut out your eyes? CHANGE YOUR GENDER?! Nope. It's far worse - they're going to sever your link with the hivemind by completely dethralling you! This means you will become a normal crew member again, unable to distinguish your masters and fellow thralls, having no unique abilities, and being boringly standard. Luckily, this can only be done via surgery, and if your master intervenes in time you might escape! If Sawbones gets his hands in your head, you're either going to become dethralled or instantly killed. Either way, you won't remember anything about being a thrall, so if you tell them anyone else that's a thrall expect a ban.
There are a few benefits from becoming a slave for the rest of your life, though none too much to get excited by. You gain a few weak but potentially useful powers, which are listed below.
|Darksight||At will||As a result of being enthralled, humans will gain the ability to see in the dark. Darksight allows thralls to toggle between standard vision and complete sight in darkness. However, this ability will not work while wearing glasses of any type.|
|Lesser Glare||45 seconds||Lesser Glare is an ineffectual yet powerful ability. Inheriting only a fraction of the shadowling's original power, thralls are able to mesmerize people in much the same way a shadowling can - however, it only lasts for around four to five seconds, give or take. If you're fast or robust, this can be combined with cablecuffs and a quick removal of a headset to secure a new thralling target. It's also a good way to escape an arrest.|
|Guise||2 minutes||Guise is a lesser version of Shadow Walk. Unlike Shadow Walk, you do not gain incorporeal movement, and are still restricted to the physical plane. In addition, you do not turn completely invisible - rather, you are extremely difficult to see, especially in darkness. Anyone that isn't looking directly at you will only see a blurred shape. This ability lasts for around five seconds.|
What To Do: If You're Non-Shadowling Crew
So the shouts over the radio weren't wizard, ops, or blob, but shadowlings? Your work is gonna be cut out for you, soldier. Shadowlings are terrifying foes and can do much in their power to avoid you. They can even extinguish most electronic lights, so you should turn to fire-based sources and yellow slime extracts, but even then anybody can extinguish fires. Don't get caught alone or you'll live out the rest of your considerably shortened lifespan in mindless servitude.
Things you SHOULD do
- Scan individuals to see if they have freakish black tumors in their skull and if so do brain manipulation surgery to remove it.
- Travel in groups
- Bolt down floodlights in different maintenance areas where shadowlings are most active
- Try implanting people that you suspect of being a thrall. Unhatched shadowlings and thralls alike will resist the implant
- Get burn-based weapons (incendiary slugs, flamethrowers if you're feeling stupid) and lots of light sources (flashlights, their reskins, and glowshrooms are easy to mass-produce, but Veil shuts them down - flares are good, mech lights are immune, prism glasses and yellow + water extracts if xenobio is doing their job, botany can make torches)
- Carry flashbangs or flash powder grenades from security or medbay
- Be extremely wary Especially of areas that seem unnaturally dark
- Watch for suspicious activity such as a mass array of lights missing.
- Be prepared for anything
- Do not try to fight thralls/Shadowlings alone and always have a partner
- If you are thrall it's best to wear department related eye wear, avoid wearing gas masks as it stands out. The best being a medical hud.
Things you SHOULDN'T do
- Hoard the entire armory and secede from the station as your own force
- Place a bunch of floodlights in the same spot
- Run up to the shadowling and ask to be enthralled. Seriously, it's a dick move to everyone and the admins will ban your ass for it
- Prowl the maintenance tunnels alone armed with your trusty screwdriver and PDA flashlight
- Refuse to talk or communicate - a silent vigilante, as proven by the mime, is the best vigilante
- Attack an ascendant
- Ask to be enthralled by an ascendant. They'll seriously just make you explode
- Be near an ascendant
- Consider approaching an ascendant
- Look at an ascendant in a suggestive way
- Think about ascendants
We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled
So you're in the maintenance tunnel with your group of vigilantes and ready to fight a shadowling. Suddenly you hear a horrible wail in your head and all the lights blow up. Not good. This means a shadowling has ascended. You're basically fucked over since all the shadowlings can ascend when one can.
In Case of an Ascendant
If you see an ascendant, it'll probably look something like this:
That guy just exploded.
Run far and fast. There is no way to fight a shadowling ascendant. They are completely invulnerable to normal attacks, can phase through walls at zero cost, and possess a slew of abilities designed to make you and all you hold dear explode. They can make the air explode, they can make reality explode, they can make objects explode, they can make your corpse explode, they can make you explode, too, so run. They can instantly enthrall you, so run. Not that it'll do you any good since they move faster than you. They'll probably just make you explode like they did the seven guys before you it found. The now-exploded seven guys. Oh, and they also hit harder than an esword with their melee attacks.
You're probably gonna explode, too, so just accept it and hope they're either merciful, somehow friendly, or want to enthrall you.
Again, though, you'll probably just explode.
Or maybe, somehow, you can kill it? | <urn:uuid:522ea89b-0278-4f6f-b91d-b4da10d70fa1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://wiki.yogstation.net/wiki/Shadowling | 2022-01-25T08:51:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.945746 | 4,864 |

Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend—and there's one commercial everyone is already talking about. This year, Carl's Jr./Hardee's tapped Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal to portray their finger-licking, bikini-wearing, controversially hot burger eater (following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Kate Upton). We caught up with the model to give us the inside scoop on the shoot.
How did you prepare for the big Carl's Jr. photo shoot?
"I actually had the flu before this shoot, so I didn't really go to the gym. Instead I tried to stay away from carbs and ate more vegetables and lean protein."
Did you do anything to get your body ready?
"I made sure to get waxed at European Wax Center before the shoot. Their comfort wax really makes the process less painful. I was so scared of waxing until I went there. I go at least two days before a big shoot to make sure my skin is silky and smooth. And, of course, a fresh mani-pedi."
What were you wearing besides a bikini?
"Sunscreen was very important since we spent the whole day in the sun. They used Scott Barnes Body Bling to make my skin glow. I felt like a beach babe."
How many of those Carl's Jr. sandwiches did you actually eat?
"I had some bites but had to spit some out, too. I think I went through around 50 sandwiches that day, if not more! But I still ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner." | <urn:uuid:9428ef01-18c1-4c2d-872d-d3adb07a7d9d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.allure.com/story/allure-exclusive-model-nina-agdal-superbowl-hardees-carls-jr-commercial | 2022-01-25T07:51:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304798.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125070039-20220125100039-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.981311 | 329 |
