On June 22, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017 (SI 2017/701) were presented to Parliament. The Regulations transpose elements of the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and related Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) into UK law. Member States of the European Union are required to implement MiFID II and MiFIR into national law by July 3, before MiFID II and MiFIR go into effect on January 3, 2018. Other elements of MiFID II and MiFIR have been implemented in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) Order 2017 (SI 2017/488), which was made by HM Treasury in March 2017 having been presented to Parliament in draft form in February 2017.
HM Treasury also published an explanatory memorandum to the Regulations. In relation to Brexit, HM Treasury states that until exit negotiations have been concluded and the United Kingdom has left the European Union, the United Kingdom is still bound to implement and apply EU legislation.
In summary, the Regulations cover the following:
- Part 1 of the Regulations designates the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) and the Bank of England as competent authorities for the purposes of MiFID II and MiFIR;
- Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the Regulations supports Article 3 of MiFID II and enables investment firms authorized in the United Kingdom to be exempt from the requirements of MiFID II, subject to various restrictions. Chapter 2 of Part 2 contains provisions concerning third-country (non-EU) firms providing investment services in the European Union;
- Part 3 implements Article 57 of MiFID II, which requires Member States to both put in place limits on the size of positions that can be held in commodity derivatives and to enforce position limits put in place by other Member States;
- Part 4 imposes controls relating to algorithmic trading and direct electronic access on certain firms and individuals, such as insurance undertakings, that are otherwise exempt from MiFID II;
- Part 5 gives the FCA and PRA power to remove a person from the management board of an investment firm, credit institution, or recognized investment exchange, in accordance with Article 69 of MiFID II;
- Part 6 contains a number of miscellaneous provisions, such as duties to inform the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) of certain matters. Part 7 contains further miscellaneous provisions dealing with the transition to the new regime under MiFID II and MiFIR, amendments to legislation and review of the Regulation by HM Treasury; and
- the Schedules to the Regulations contain modifications and amendments to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and other primary and secondary legislation.
Certain aspects of the Regulations go into effect on June 29, July 3, and July 31, to allow, among other things, further rules to be made and notices given. For all other purposes, the Regulations go into effect on January 3, 2018. | <urn:uuid:6901f9ff-e08f-4084-9446-6da36539e84e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.corporatefinancialweeklydigest.com/2017/06/articles/uk-developments/mifid-ii-implementing-legislation-published/ | 2022-01-19T20:35:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.953799 | 620 |

Sheila Bair, FDIC Chair June 2006 – July 2011.
In major policy shift, scores of FDIC settlements go unannounced
By E. Scott Reckard, Los Angeles Times
March 11, 2013, 4:05 a.m.
Three years ago, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. collected $54 million from Deutsche Bank in a settlement over unsound loans that contributed to a spectacular California bank failure.
The deal might have made big headlines, given that the bad loans contributed to the largest payout in FDIC history, $13 billion. But the government cut a deal with the bank’s lawyers to keep it quiet: a “no press release” clause that required the FDIC never to mention the deal “except in response to a specific inquiry.”
Deutsche Bank, now the world’s largest, settled to resolve claims that subsidiary MortgageIT sold shaky loans to Pasadena-based IndyMac Bank, which imploded under the weight of risky mortgages and construction loans. The IndyMac failure – considered one of the early events that helped usher in the 2008 financial meltdown – caused a scene reminiscent of the grim bank failures of the 1930s, with panicked depositors lining up outside branches trying to reclaim their money.
Overall, the FDIC collected $787 million in settlements by pressing civil claims related to bank failures from 2007 through 2012 – a fraction of its total losses.
“In the old days, the regulators made it a point to embarrass everyone, to call attention to their role in bank failures,” said former bank examiner Richard Newsom, who specialized in insider-abuse cases for the FDIC in the aftermath of the S&L debacle. The goal was simple: “to make other bankers scared.”
Newsom said he couldn’t understand the shift, unless the agency doesn’t “want people to know how little they are settling for.”
(FDIC spokesman David) Barr says attorneys representing the FDIC make clear to the defendants that, although it will not publicize settlements, it also cannot legally keep them secret.
The ban on secret settlements was a provision in one of the laws passed after the S&L crisis. Although the measure doesn’t require the FDIC to call attention to settlements, nondisclosure agreements like that with Deutsche Bank violate “the spirit of the law,” said Sausalito, Calif., attorney Bart Dzivi, a former Senate Banking Committee aide who drafted the provision.
FDIC Under Scrutiny For Not Announcing Settlements
By: DSWright, Firedog Lake
Tuesday March 12, 2013 8:06 am
The clause is added to keep the regulator quiet on reputation damaging legal settlements. Typically settlements are announced by regulators in hopes of deterring would be law breakers but the FDIC has changed its previous policy without explicitly stating why.
What an odd game. During the Savings and Loan Crisis a law was passed banning secret settlements which means no matter how poorly the FDIC is negotiating with criminal bankers they can not agree to keep the settlement secret. Instead the FDIC merely agrees not to announce the deals in hopes that no one looks for the information.
But why not announce it? Isn’t the point of settling in the first place to punish the guilty but avoid costly trials? Sending a press release is practically free and lets everyone know that certain practices will not be tolerated by regulators. Secret deterrence is a contradiction in terms and an open invitation to continue treating crime as a business expense.
FDIC Hides "Scores" of Bank Settlements Since 2007
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
The FDIC’s excuse is unpersuasive. It amounts to, “well, we publicize big settlements, why bother with these?”
In fact, this practice is yet another gimmie for banks. First, by not publicizing the settlement, it saves the target embarrassment. But far more important, it also helps them escape private litigation. A claimant has a much more persuasive suit if he can tell a judge or jury, “Look, XYZ bank engaged in this conduct, we have proof in the form of an FDIC settlement.” Mind you, it doesn’t mean for every settlement you have private litigants lurking in the wings, but given how many investors lost money in a big way during the crisis, you’d have to think that in a meaningful percentage of cases, hard evidence that a bank engaged in a particular form of prohibited behavior would be very useful to private parties.
The worst is that these secret settlements look to have become institutionalized. The only rationale I can think of (and it’s not great) is that the FDIC became overly concerned about exposing weak banks to litigation, and once it established the new pattern, it’s been unwilling or unable to roll it back. But in the S&L crisis, when the FDIC had so many dead banks drop in its lap that it had to go to Congress for additional funding, it didn’t hold back.
Which Aspect of the FDIC’s Litigation Failures is the Most Embarrassing and Damaging?
By William K. Black, New Economic Perspectives
Posted on March 12, 2013
The article contains four key facts we did not know about the FDIC’s leadership and its litigation director. The only question is which of these … facts provides the most revealing insight into the disgrace that the FDIC has become. The first fact is that the banks and bank officers can now cut deals with the FDIC designed to keep their settlements secret. What that tells us is that the FDIC’s leaders are indifferent or clueless about deterrence and earning public respect for the integrity of the FDIC’s efforts to hold the officers who drove the crisis accountable.
The second key fact that we learned from the article is that the size of the settlements, for some of the most culpable fraudulent mortgage lenders, is so embarrassingly low that the FDIC’s litigators and investigators have proven to be an embarrassing failure.
The third fact that emerges is that the FDIC’s real purpose in entering into these settlements crafted to try to keep the public from learning about them is not to secure a higher settlement but to protect the FDIC leadership from embarrassment for their failures of nerve, competence, and any understanding of the overriding need to ensure that no executive walks away making a profit from fraudulent lending.
The fourth fact that emerges is that the FDIC does not understand how a banking regulator and its litigators must deal with control fraud. It is fine for the FDIC to lose half its litigated cases against the senior officers who run control frauds where its wins lead to large awards that remove any gains the controlling officers received from the bank. What the “C-suite” defendants need to understand is the moral certainty that the FDIC will, as a matter of principle, never agree to a settlement that leaves a non-judgment proof controlling officer with wealth he gained by leading the bank to make fraudulent liar’s loans. When elite defendants engage in fraud the banking regulators’ paramount task is not to maximize the expected value of the recovery – it is to deter future frauds because control fraud causes catastrophic losses and drives our recurrent, intensifying financial crises. The defendants need to know that the FDIC will be remorseless in litigating against the senior officers running control frauds.

I’m not sure what’s more breathtakingly arrogant — that there are members of the government who look the people straight in the eye and tell them that, no, nothing’s going to be done, despite the fact that you and I and the streetlamp know precisely who the crooks are, and what they did, and what should happen to them, or that there are members of government who insist that doing nothing about any of it is to act in the public good. It is one the little tin drums at this place that, too often, our elected leaders seem to believe that The American People are made of ribbon candy. Don’t prosecute Nixon. The country needs “closure.” Don’t chase Iran-Contra too hard. The country “can’t afford” another failed presidency. Don’t arraign the liars and fantasts who brought on the ruin that is the Iraq war. Look forward. Not back. Self-government gets infantilized and the crooks skate.
Call me crazy, but if some operation gets so big that it renders its crimes untouchable by the civil authorities, when power immunizes the criminals, then something’s too big to be allowed to exist. And if the institutions that are supposed to protect us from those crimes, through the customary mechanism of punishing the criminals in such a sway as to discourage other people from becoming criminals, are so worried that protecting us will do us more harm than good, then we’ve fallen through the looking glass to a place where self-government is rendered subject to a simple protection racket. I’d consider most of these guys more respectable if they threw firebombs or broke people’s kneecaps. | <urn:uuid:e9602e86-e870-4132-b198-f6bdf1097199> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.docudharma.com/2013/03/13 | 2022-01-19T19:21:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.954221 | 1,973 |

Heckmondwike got a mention in Coronation Street this week and locals were ecstatic.
On the episode, that aired on Wednesday, January 12, somebody in Heckmondwike was urgently trying to track down some Dolly Mixture.
Viewers were quick to notice the West Yorkshire town got a mention in the soap.
Gordon Clegg was heard telling Rita out side Coronation Street's iconic Cabin: "I best be off, I've got an emergency order of Dolly Mixture's to get to Heckmondwike."
Naturally, excited locals were straight to social media to see if anyone else spotted Heckmondwike's claim to fame.
Posting in local community Facebook group Heckmondwike matters, Itrat Ali asked: "Anyone else spot Heckmondwike mentioned on Coronation Street?"

And it seems she wasn't the only one excited by the name drop as the post received 181 likes and 90 comments.
Martin Walker joked: "Who was getting a van full of dolly mixture then."
"I'd like to know who was so desperate for them lol," said Rachel and Neil Haigh.
Nicky Heath added: "Yes, I hope people don't flock to Hecky for a browse round the shops."
Katie Grogan responded: "I had to rewind just to be sure."
"Yes I did and they pronounced it right!" added Janet Creighton.
And it seems Coronation Street isn't the only TV show to make use of the "typically Yorkshire sounding town" according to viewers.
Stuart Morley said: "Hecky gets mentioned in Emmerdale every now and then, apparently some Dingles live there."
Rachel Wrigglesworth agreed: "Chas used to live on Dewsbury Moor, Seth used to and he drank in the pub that got pulled down too, Charity lives in Gomersal."
While Steve Hotrod Gregson said: "Hecky gets mentioned in Last Of The Summer Wine, 'The Heckmondwike Extra Terrestrial Club' what is that?"
"Heckmondwike is also mentioned in the Clarkson Farm book," added Richard Harris.
It seems the West Yorkshire town, which forms part of the Heavy Woollen District, has quite the TV pedigree.

Earlier this week, EMC announced its sixth-generation Clariion product--the CX600. For those awaiting a next-generation Symmetrix array, the CX600 was somewhat of a letdown, but for mid-tier markets it was welcome news because the new array fills a long-standing gap in the company's Clariion lineup.
"We haven't had a play in the upper end of the midrange market," admits Mike Wytenus, EMC's director of information platforms, markets and products. The CX600 does not replace the Clariion FC4700 array, but rather extends the company's reach in mid-tier markets.
Beyond price and performance improvements, the CX600 offers hardware and software continuity across Clariion generations and other EMC platforms. "Users want commonality or consistency so they can leverage the same people skills and minimize costs," says Wytenus.
EMC says it is leveraging common components across its Clariion and Symmetrix product lines and that it has already implemented common host bus adapters (HBAs) and merged the two platforms' interoperability labs.
According to Wytenus, EMC will push CX600 technology--including drives, power supplies, and HBAs--downward into lower-end Clariion products and upward into the Symmetrix family as new models are released.
This continuity among Clariion and Symmetrix products is key, says Joyce Becknell, research director at The Sageza Group, an IT consulting firm in Mountain View, CA. "The CX600 is competitive with HP's EVA, [but in this respect] is superior."
In addition to hardware continuity, EMC improved the overall capability of the Clariion line by broadening its support of previously Symmetrix-specific software to include PowerPath and MirrorView IP. DB Tuner and EDM, which were available with the FC4700, continue to be options with the CX600, as is Clariion-specific software such as Navisphere, Access Logix, SnapView, and MirrorView.
The CX600 works in both direct-attached storage (DAS) and storage area network (SAN) environments. It has eight SAN-addressable ports, supports nine operating systems, and has 1,024 addressable logical unit numbers (LUNs). According to EMC, the array has a maximum bandwidth of 1,300MBps and maximum throughput of 150,000 I/Os per second, making it suitable for both large block transfer applications (e.g., data warehousing, data mirroring, and streaming media) and smaller block IO requests (e.g., OLTP).
The array can be configured with additional cabinets to support up to 240 36GB (10,000rpm or 15,000rpm) or 73GB (10,000rpm) drives. A 180GB unit and a 17.5TB array (maximum capacity) are priced from $115,000 and $800,000, respectively.
For distribution, EMC has partnered with Arrow, Avnet, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens, Fujitsu Technology Solutions, and Unisys. The deal with Dell is part of a five-year distribution agreement signed by the two companies last year. Dell and EMC are reportedly discussing the possibility of extending that relationship to include the manufacture of various low-end Clariion products. The agreement with Fujitsu Technology currently includes both Symmetrix and Clariion arrays, software, and services. | <urn:uuid:21d3ebff-bdd1-43fa-9aa0-c30ea0b8a579> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.infostor.com/index/articles/display/152043/articles/infostor/top-news/emc-stresses-commonality-among-platforms.html | 2022-01-19T19:36:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.938249 | 738 |

Bonsoir mesdames et messieurs
Have you enjoyed your soup du jour, et hors d'oeuvre?
We thank Sandra Collins for providing our next 'Thought for the Day'.
Be our guest and try the video links and enjoy some happy music and animation.
Enough rain, my tan is starting to fade. I really enjoyed the warmth and sun last week.
Foolishly gloss painted an external door at dawn. It now sports a beautiful 'raindrop' effect sheen. Thankfully I have enough sandpaper to rub down and start again.
Every blessing, Andrew

In the world of extended car warranties, there are lots of options when you are ready to purchase a service contract. The trouble is, not every third-party warranty company has your best interest at heart. That’s why we dig deep when it comes to investigating various protection plans. In this article, we will evaluate the coverage that Carefree Auto provides to consumers.
To gain a full understanding of the company, we will look at its reputation, coverage, and reviews. By the time we finish, you will know whether or not it’s wise to give this warranty provider your hard-earned money.

About Carefree Auto
Carefree Auto is a warranty provider that offers protection plans for unexpected repairs and routine maintenance. The company is part of Coverdell & Company, a marketing and insurance organization that serves more than 6 million people nationwide.
Carefree Auto has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) but lacks accreditation. Its parent company has an A+ rating with accreditation. Coverdell & Company only has six reviews with the BBB, all for one star, but this isn’t necessarily representative of its auto plans because the company deals in a number of protection plans including dental and medical care.
Right away, this is a small red flag. It’s challenging to be an expert in the auto warranty industry, and this is not the organization’s primary business.
As far as industry endorsements, we were unable to find any support for Carefree Auto from industry leaders, although the provider includes an “As Seen on TV” logo on its homepage.
Carefree Auto Coverage
What makes Carefree Auto different than most car warranty providers is that there are no specific plans for protection. Instead, members receive a card that provides discounts and various services. This plan is not a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty like you can purchase from many other reputable companies.
With Carefree Auto, consumers pay $24.95 per month to be a part of this membership club. In return, the following benefits are received:
- Repair Reimbursement: After visiting a licensed repair facility, the membership covers 30 percent of the covered non-collision repair, up to $500. This rebate can be redeemed up to $1,000 per year.
- Rental Car Discounts: Receive up to 25 percent off qualified rental vehicles.
- Routine Maintenance: Receive up to 20 percent off at thousands of participating service centers.
- Towing and Roadside Assistance: 24/7 roadside assistance and towing are included, up to $100 per incident, with a maximum of three calls per year.
- Tire and Wheel Protection: With membership, you receive $150 per tire or wheel replacement and $25 per flat tire repair, up to a maximum of two flat tires per year.
- Carefree Auto Expert Hotline: This hotline provides advice about the cost of car repairs, do-it-yourself advice, and more.
Because the coverage offered by Carefree Auto isn’t your typical extended warranty – in fact, we are hesitant to put it in that category at all – it’s difficult to differentiate the plan from the perks. Most of what is included in the plan is given as a bonus with reputable providers, often to a much greater extent.
For example, you can expect the following services with many of the top extended car warranties:
- Roadside assistance
- Rental cars
- Trip interruption
- Lockout service
The only difference is, with a reputable company, you receive more than simply a discount. Instead, your rental car is covered and trip interruption is paid for, up to the amount outlined in the terms and conditions. With these perks alone, most other extended warranties are more valuable than what we see from Carefree Auto.
Carefree Auto Customer Reviews
To really understand the Carefree Auto experience, it’s important to look at current customer reviews. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find many out there. Carefree Auto doesn’t have a single review on Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook, which raises some bigger red flags.
The provider only has one review on its BBB page for two stars, and that review doesn’t even make Carefree Auto’s small discount program sound good.
“...Every time you try to utilize a coupon, they kick the price up to retail cost, and you don’t save anything.”
-Joy D. via BBB
Our Verdict On Carefree Auto
Non-traditional coverage options combined with lack of customer reviews don’t put Carefree Auto at the top of our list for extended warranty providers. The company’s discount program may work for some consumers, but if you are looking for more comprehensive protection, we suggest looking elsewhere.
|A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau||No specific plans. Instead, offers discounts for select repair services|
|Lack of customer reviews is a red flag|
Our Recommended Warranty Providers
While we aren’t impressed with the coverage provided by Carefree Auto, there are plenty of warranty companies out there that offer great coverage and customer service. In our review of the nation’s best extended car warranty providers, we found a few great choices.
Use the tool below to get free quotes from our top three picks:
Endurance: Best Coverage
We named Endurance the best service warranty provider for its great reputation, comprehensive coverage offerings, and added benefits. Endurance offers direct-to-consumer extended warranties, which means that warranty services and claims are handled directly by Endurance. We gave it a 4.6-star rating and named it the provider with the best coverage.
With Endurance, you don’t have to worry about a middleman or underwriting provider, and Endurance is also known for its excellent customer service during the quote and claims process.
Additionally, Endurance warranty plans allow car owners to choose from any repair shop certified by Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) to complete their covered repairs.
CARCHEX: Best For Used Cars
Another top choice for a warranty is CARCHEX, which we rated as the provider that is Best for Used Cars. CARCHEX has an A+ rating and accreditation with the BBB, as well as industry endorsements from Edmunds.com, Kelley Blue Book, and CARFAX.
CARCHEX has five customizable coverage plans, unlike the membership plan for discounts offered by Carefree Auto. You can opt for a top-of-the-line, exclusionary plan or a basic powertrain plan, as well as everything in between. CARCHEX covers a variety of vehicles including high-mileage cars and trucks. We gave it a 4.4-star rating and named it the best provider for used cars.
Endurance and CARCHEX aren’t the only great extended warranty companies out there. When we researched the best warranty companies, we evaluated each on the following criteria:
- Customer service
- Customer reviews
- Coverage levels
- Additional perks
- Accolades and endorsements
That being said, if you’re looking for an alternative to Carefree Auto, we recommend looking into these providers:
Your needs may be different than those of your neighbor. We encourage you to reach out to several providers for quotes to find the extended warranty that is right for you.
Do You Need An Extended Warranty?
If you want more coverage than Carefree Auto provides, but you aren’t sure if an extended warranty is right for you, consider the following. Vehicle owners that fall into one of these categories would likely benefit from protection beyond the factory warranty.
- You want to keep your vehicle. As your car gets older, it becomes more susceptible to mechanical failure. If repairs are taken care of, there’s no reason to replace your vehicle sooner than you need to.
You want to sell your vehicle. With a transferable plan, potential buyers may see more value in your vehicle.
You don’t have the money to pay for expensive car repairs up front. Americans spend approximately $1,986 on car repairs over the course of five years. Keep in mind, that’s an average. Many people are paying far more than that, especially when the engine or transmission fails. If you don’t have the money to pay for an unexpected car repair, smaller monthly payments toward an extended warranty may be the best option for you.
You want peace of mind. With an extended warranty, you know that you are protected against hefty repair bills if something breaks.
You would benefit from additional perks. Many protection plans come with benefits such as roadside assistance, towing, and rental car coverage.
In an effort to provide accurate and unbiased information to consumers, our expert review team collects data from dozens of extended auto warranty companies to formulate rankings of the best providers. Companies receive a score in each of the following categories, as well as an overall weighted score out of 5.0 stars.
- Industry Standing: Warranty providers with a history of strong business practices and endorsements from experts receive the highest scores in this category.
- Coverage: This rating is based on types of extended warranty plans available, coverage terms, and added benefits like roadside assistance.
- Cost: Our research team reviews sample quotes for a variety of plans and vehicles. Companies with lower prices per year of coverage receive the best scores.
- Transparency: This score takes into account contract transparency and the availability of a money-back guarantee.
- Customer Service: We comb through customer reviews and perform our own shopper analysis to get a sense of the responsiveness and helpfulness of each warranty company.

This isn't just talk — science is getting closer to using your voice to diagnose whether you have heart disease and other disorders.
The Mayo Clinic teamed up with Beyond Verbal, a voice analytics company, to identify links between vocal features and coronary artery disease. CAD is the most common heart disease, where plaque builds up in the arteries, causing heart attacks. The study's diagnostic tool found that a single biomarker in the voice signal was associated with a 19-fold increased likelihood of CAD.
Beyond Verbal's previous research has also suggested a link between voice signal characteristics and neurological disorders such as dyslexia, Parkinson's Disease, ADHD and autism, but this is the first study to link vocal biomarkers with heart disease.
"This is so groundbreaking and new, that it's hard to describe in layman's terms," Yuval Mor, the CEO of Beyond Verbal, told the News.
That's because the vocal characteristics we're talking about here are much more specialized than the volume or timbre of a person's speech. Mor compared it to human vision, where the naked eye can see a range of wavelengths, but it takes specialized sensors to make infrared waves or ultraviolet rays visible to us. Beyond Vision's diagnostic tool extracts vocal information in a similar fashion. "It can analyze the voice and identify different medical conditions in a way that the human ear can't hear," he said.
In this double-blind study, 120 patients each gave three 30-second voice recordings in English, which were documented and analyzed by the voice analysis tool. It found a strong relationship between certain vocal characteristics and CAD.
The team plans to repeat the experiment in China and Israel to determine if the same correlation will show up in different languages. They are also going to test for any voice characteristics linked to other cardiovascular diseases.
Mor suggested that doctors could eventually diagnose medical conditions remotely by analyzing patients' voice recordings.
"The idea eventually is to give people an app so we can check on them and tell them if everything is OK," he said. "We are opening the door for something completely new that can make a huge difference in the medical community." | <urn:uuid:705ec40d-f9fc-4ea7-8474-a3a0ac872d30> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/voice-heart-disease-study-article-1.2874222 | 2022-01-19T20:31:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.962116 | 435 |
Solution conformation of a parallel DNA triple helix with 5' and 3' triplex-duplex junctions.
Asensio JL., Brown T., Lane AN.
BACKGROUND: Polypurine x polypyrimidine sequences of DNA can form parallel triple helices via Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds with a third DNA strand that is complementary to the purine strand. The triplex prevents transcription and could therefore potentially be used to regulate specific genes. The determination of the structures of triplex-duplex junctions can help us to understand the structural basis of specificity, and aid in the design of optimal antigene oligonucleotides. RESULTS: The solution structures of the junction triplexes d(GAGAGACGTA)-X-(TACGTCTCTC)-X-(CTCTCT) and d(CTCTCT)-X-(TCTCTCAGTC)-X-(GACTGAGAGA) (where X is bis(octylphosphate) and nucleotides in the triplex regions are underlined) have been solved using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The structure is characterised by significant changes in the conformation of the purine residues, asymmetry of the 5' and 3' junctions, and variations in groove widths associated with the positive charge of the protonated cytosine residues in the third strand. The thermodynamic stability of triplexes with either a 5' or a 3'CH+ is higher than those with a terminal thymidine. CONCLUSIONS: The observed sequence dependence of the triplex structure, and the distortions of the DNA at the 5' and 3' termini has implications for the design of optimal triplex-forming sequences, both in terms of the terminal bases and the importance of including positive charges in the third strand. Thus, triplex-stabilising ligands might be designed that can discriminate between TA x T-rich and CG x C+-rich sequences that depend not only on charge, but also on local groove widths. This could improve the stabilisation and specificity of antigene triplex formation. | <urn:uuid:e2559a97-df7b-4425-856d-c97e7f1f0f6a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.oncology.ox.ac.uk/publications/400258 | 2022-01-19T20:14:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.89672 | 442 |

Um... maybe I'm too old for this
By: Nisrina Ulayya
I felt it wasn't such a long time ago that I was enjoying almost every YA stories, about youth and heroism, definitely lacking the follies. Then I was older and stumbled into this book and it was a hardcover and cheap, so I thought about giving it a go. But then when I read it, I definitely felt nothing but confusion. I wondered what the plot is, some serious aspect of the world-building, and sometimes, the depth of this character. It was awfully slow, and I feel like there's nothing to be excited about as I flipped through the pages. It was only the thought of spending some money for this piece of literature that keeps me going, otherwise I felt no motivation whatsoever to find out the end. I don't know, maybe I'm just too old and boring for this book. | <urn:uuid:ab49cb56-24fb-4a06-9b81-d0dc7bcf4c35> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.periplus.com/p/9780062348630/carve-the-mark | 2022-01-19T20:43:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.984348 | 199 |

Let’s be honest: credit reports can be stressful and there are few comparable feelings to knowing a collection call could come. Breathe. You have strategies to handle this.
Here I wrote a blog post about getting credit cards and checking your CREDIT SCORE, so check that out here*. This post is more detailed about what to do with the information on that report, or if you just need to handle debt/collections calls.
WHEN THERE ARE THINGS ON YOUR CREDIT *REPORT* YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH
A federal resource with template letters for disputing things on your credit report with the credit bureaus themselves:
WHEN THERE ARE REPORTS OF DEBT YOU WANT TO ADDRESS WITH THE REPORTING COMPANIES
You’ll also potentially need to contact the organizations who are claiming you owe them money, to either ask them to prove it and/or ask them to contact you [or not] in certain specific ways.
For starts, this link from the US Consumer Finance department provides sample template letters you can send to people who are trying to collect debts from you to manage the situation. You may want to look it over and start with: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/blog/debtcollection/
Situation A – you have no idea what this is or why its on your credit report
Letter essentially saying “What is this debt you speak of, please provide proof?” This is a first step, since if they can’t “prove” you owe anything they must pull the blip from your credit report.
Situation B – you know exactly what this is and want them to stop calling you about it
Consumers have the right to tell a debt collector to stop all communication. It is important, however, to note that stopping contact from a debt collector does not cancel the debt or prohibit the collector from potentially pursuing other remedies, such as filing a lawsuit. This letter template could be beneficial for those consumers who feel they are being harassed by a collector’s communications. Download the “stop contact” letter
Every state/province has a statue of limitations for how long creditors can go after you for debt you may or may not be responsible for. If the debt is old, try:
Letter essentially saying “Creditor, stop harassing me for debt out of the statute of limitations or you owe me legal fines under FDCPA and I’ll call the Attorney General”:
ps this is called Zombie Debt
Never Admit You Owe: Until you are ready to make a settlement or pay up, speak of this supposed debt in the third person, like a distant cousin you just found out you were related to. “What? Who? Please verify.” Why? Because the timeline for the statute of limitations *starts over* when you assert responsibility for a debt.
Keep Copious, Detailed Notes: Record the dates, time, full name, phone number and extension, related client account & collections account numbers each and every time you talk to anyone about a debt, whether you believe you are at fault or not.
Use Certified Mail: Sending followup via certified mail does two things. One, it makes it look like you have a lawyer advising you, since certified mail is admissible in court. Second, it is admissible in court as evidence of your actions/good faith/proof of agreements et al. Send a copy to the creditor and to yourself, and anyone else who might be interested.
Invoke the Law: Both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act [FDCPA] and the Attorney General in any state are resources you can invoke to make a collections agency stop harassing you, since you can threaten to sue and/or report them to the authorities, who will fine them.
Get all agreements in writing, before you pay and before you agree to pay. Send certified mail of your understanding of an agreement and with whom you spoke and when stapled to your check.
Seven Years to Freedom: Unpaid debt that has been reported to credit agencies stays on your credit report for 7 years. After 7 years, it’s gone. So, some debt might just be worth deflecting if it’s old.
LIMITATIONS ON DEBT
Listen. Much consumer debt will go away.** After 7 years it’s off your credit report, and usually its statute of limitations – the time you can be legally pursued for the debt — is less than that.
The NYS statute of limitations on debt is at most 6 years *from the date of default*, that is 30 days after you last made any kind of payment or admission that you owe the debt.
Please note: if you for example make a partial payment now, but perhaps didn’t get a written agreement that this will vacate the debt, in theory the creditor could “renew the debt” for another 6 years and claim the rest of the debt as delinquent.
Deep breathing: You can handle this. It freakin sucks AND you can take steps to manage collections, debt, and your credit report. How? By doing One Thing Today. Just one, then do it tomorrow – just one – and so forth.
*Reminder, you can request your credit *report* online for free here. Be sure to ask for reports from all three reporting agencies and PRINT or save as a PDF on your computer so you have a copy! https://www.annualcreditreport.com/requestReport/landingPage.action
**Unlike student loan debt which never goes away or and tax debt, which only is dischargable in bankruptcy and even then only in certain circumstances. | <urn:uuid:71b0a7db-4e16-4a8b-ba3b-2f0b7db6b216> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.ridefreefearlessmoney.com/blog/2015/12/credit-disputes-and-debt/ | 2022-01-19T20:30:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.939116 | 1,275 |

Do you get tired of opening your garage door by hand? You can install a garage door opener. So you don’t need to pay someone else for this.
A garage door opener can take time to complete the installation. You can open and close your garage door efficiently and fast by the garage door opener. Netogaragedoor.com can help to do with comfort. Here is some discussion on how to install a garage door opener chain.
Prepare to install a garage door opener:
Measure if you already have a garage door:
If you want to attach your door, you will need to measure the area. Most garage doors have multiple sections. Again, an opener enables us to compete with the older. Older type doors are solid pieces. These need to replace when you install an opener. The chain-driven is available and operates you well.
Take preparation for opener installation:
You need to ensure that the door is operating well. The weight of the door is an important factor. If you don’t raise the door naturally, you will not install an opener till the door is repaired.
Ensure an electric plug-in the opener motor area:
If you install electrical wiring, you will disconnect the main breaker box. Then you can take an attempt.
Layout full parts of the opener: You need to ensure the list of all the opener parts.
Start by keeping together assembly:
At first, you should keep the rail and attach them. Moreover, it would be best if you had the trolley on the rail. It is the part of the door opener which can shift with the rail.
Then you will fix the rail with a motor. It is the most significant part of the openers. Then you need to install the crane at the rail. Then you will feed the chain through at the rail. Then you need to join the edge of the chain.
Find out the garage door connection:
You need to specify the mark distance between the top of the door and the opener direction. Sometimes, people want to place it in the center. Some people attach the bracket.
Lean the end of the assembly: You need to insert the end of the assembly into it. Then you connect the bracket. Then the end of assembly directs installation instructions.
Lift the other end of the assembly: You need to install the power high. So, tall people can’t run into it. Try to keep it at least 7“ from the floor.
Attach safety rope: You can attach a safety rope to release when it needs to carry. Doors must need a manual disconnect cord so that any adult can reach it easily.
Insert light bulb: You can insert a light bulb into the socket. The light can turn on when the garage door is opened. Many door openers will be appropriate.
So, you have the overall process you need to follow when installing a garage door opener chain. Finally, one concern, before installing a door opener chain, you need to ensure that you choose the right type of openers. | <urn:uuid:571fc97b-d3e5-49a6-8c89-0541121892d7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.teamsterslocal805.org/how-to-install-a-garage-door-opener-chain/ | 2022-01-19T18:58:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301488.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119185232-20220119215232-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.911712 | 631 |

The first Panda Express was launched in October 1983 by The Panda Restaurant Group, its parent company that also owns and operates Panda Inn and Hibachi-San. Ming Tsai Cherng, Andrew Cherng, and Peggy Cherng founded The Panda Restaurant Group.
Panda Express was developed as the fast-food or fast-casual version of the upscale Panda Inn chain. The first Panda Express restaurants were located exclusively in food courts in large shopping malls but by the late 1980s until the early 1990s, the chain started its expansion into supermarket-based locations and standalone restaurants with drive-through facilities. Today, most of the 2,000+ restaurants are standalone locations with less than 2% in malls.
The chain has a strong presence in all 50 U.S. States including the District of Columbia, as well as in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, El Salvador, Guatemala, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea.
What They’re Famous For
Panda Express restaurants are known for their wide variety of Chinese cuisine-inspired dishes – or as many call it, Chinese dishes and desserts changed to appeal to the American palate. The bestselling items include Orange Chicken, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Firecracker Chicken Breast, as well as the Beijing Beef. The combo meals are served with the customer’s choice of steamed rice, fried rice, mixed vegetables, or chow mein.
The chain is also known for its avoidance of MSG in its dishes. Such is the commitment to MSG avoidance that the chain doesn’t buy from suppliers that use MSG in its products.
Why Eat Here
The sheer number of choices at Panda Express can become overwhelming for the first-time diner but just a few minutes of browsing the menu and it all becomes clear. The Chinese-American dishes and desserts are made to please the palate of nearly everybody! The savory dishes are presented in a way that makes us want to scoop up everything into our plates while the sweet desserts makes us want to forget about widening waistlines. In short, Panda Express is among the best fast-food restaurants that offer great food, especially if you’re tired of the usual hamburgers, hotdogs, and tacos.
If you can’t decide which dishes and desserts you want, you can take samples of many of the items before ordering them; the associates pass sample bites. Besides, the prices are so reasonable so much so that you can have your fill for under $10! You may even have leftovers to bring home.
While it’s fairly common to find a line of customers, the wait isn’t as long as anticipated. The conscientious employees and the steam table setup moves the line faster, and the associates (Panda Express employees are called by this name) are always smiling and ready to help the customers.
And the dishes and desserts are so appealing to the eyes and appetizing to the palate! The fried dishes, which are the hallmark of a respectable Chinese-style buffet restaurant, aren’t greasy and heavy but are instead light and flavorful. While availability varies between restaurants, there are staples like chicken egg rolls, fried shrimp, vegetarian spring rolls, and cream cheese rangoons.
Panda Express sells its food a la carte. Customers, however, have the choice of creating their own plates – a choice of either two or three main dishes plus a side dish, which are placed on a plastic container; when piled, the food seem to weigh a ton because the chain serves generous portions. The fresh-cut vegetables are crisp, the noodles are flavorful, and the rice is always a perfect accompaniment.
The main dishes are all delectable but there are favorites, too. The deep-fried orange chicken has the perfect batter and tangy sauce that continues to make it the must-have item on the menu. There’s no danger of running out of it, too, even during peak hours as the associates replenish it in huge batches; add a small fee and you get orange chicken with bacon bits.
Tea being a favorite Chinese beverage, many Panda Express restaurants have a tea bar that offers whole-leaf tea drinks like bubble tea, hot tea, lemonade tea, and fruit tea, as well as shakes, smoothies, and freshly-squeezed fruit juices.

Ingredients: Piment d'Espelette.
Description: Piment d'Espelette literally means “pepper of Espelette” in French. It is a food product produced around the town of Espelette in Southern France, also known as Basque Country. This pepper is so famous that it has been given a protected designation by the European Union, ensuring that only peppers grown in the Espelette region may be labeled as “Piment d'Espelette.” This is designed to protect the heritage and integrity of this unique pepper, which is a commonly-used ingredient in Basque food. The Piment d'Espelette is red when mature, and relatively small and mild. Heat-wise, it is usually compared to paprika, another flavorful European pepper product. Piments d'Espelette also have a dark, slightly smoky flavor which can be intensified with roasting or pan-searing, and a robust peppery flavor which can be useful in a wide variety of dishes. These peppers are traditionally used to rub Bayonne ham, a famous export of the region, and they also appear in many other Basque dishes.

Houston – “We Have Zipcar”
BOSTON and HOUSTON, March 26, 2014 – Beginning today, 25 Zipcars are available by the hour or by the day for residents, students, businesses and visitors in the city of Houston. Zipcar’s revolutionary “wheels when you want them” service offers a wide variety of vehicles, from MINI Coopers to pickup trucks, and includes gas, a reserved parking spot, insurance, and 180 miles per day, making it a great option for those looking for convenient and cost-effective transportation. The launch, which makes Houston the company’s 27th major metropolitan area, will be supported by a retail office where members can interact with a local team.
Zipcars are parked in prime locations throughout Houston including the Downtown area, Midtown, and Greenway Plaza/Upper Kirby. Zipcar expects to expand the service to additional neighborhoods in the near future. The vehicles are parked in designated parking spots and can be reserved in seconds on Zipcar’s mobile app, online or over the phone. Rates start as low as $9 per hour and $73 per day. Membership information is available at www.zipcar.com/houston.
“As the nation’s second fastest growing city, and one of most livable, Houston is a perfect fit for Zipcar,” said Kaye Ceille, president of Zipcar. “For car owners who are looking to save money by switching to car sharing and other forms of transportation, or for people who don’t own a car but need one occasionally, Zipcar’s on-demand pay-as-you-go model and variety of vehicles offer the benefits of car ownership without the cost and hassle.”
Zipcar’s consumer launch builds on its successful program with the city of Houston FleetShare program in which Zipcar technology is embedded in city-owned vehicles, increasing efficiency, accountability and lower overall fleet costs. Zipcar has also offered service to Rice University students on campus since 2009. In addition, the University of Houston and Texas Southern University will be adding Zipcars on and near campus to further provide alternative transportation options to students, faculty and staff. These programs are expected to launch in Fall 2014.
“I want to welcome Zipcar to all of Houston,” said Mayor Annise Parker. “This is another major step forward in Houston’s ongoing effort to change the way we live and get around the City. Sustainable transportation options offer convenience, are less of a burden on our pocketbooks and also have a big impact on our environment.”
Zipcar’s Houston fleet offers a wide variety of vehicles for local members that need an alternative to getting around or for Zipcar members visiting the city. Family trips to The Museum District or The Space Center are easier in the Toyota Prius named “Herman” with room for five. Nissan Frontier “Hamptons” is a great option to get out of the city and visit the many beaches of Galveston. Take Volkswagen Jetta “Shelley” to swing by Austin for the weekend or Hill Country where you can visit some of Texas’ top wineries. MINI Cooper “Hattie Mae” allows members to catch a concert at a fun night out at the Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park.
Employees of local businesses in Houston can benefit from Zipcar’s presence through the Zipcar for Business program that offers discounted driving rates Monday through Friday. This program helps businesses save money, meet environmental sustainability goals and reduce parking requirements by providing their employees with access to Zipcars for business needs and other uses.
“Houston First Corporation looks forward to working with Zipcar on the potential to offer their service in our facilities,” said Dawn Ullrich, president and CEO of Houston First Corporation, which owns Hilton Americas-Houston and manages the George R. Brown Convention Center, Wortham Center, Jones Hall, Miller Outdoor Theatre, Theater District Parking and other facilities for the City of Houston. “Car sharing is an innovative way to help people get around town without increasing traffic.”
Zipcar, the world's leading car sharing network, has operations in urban areas and college campuses throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain and Austria. Zipcar offers more than 30 makes and models of self-service vehicles by the hour or day to residents and businesses looking for smart, simple and convenient solutions to their urban and campus transportation needs.

I don't believe I've had the singular joy of rattling on about the joys of an ancient Viking art form that requires taking a single needle, a handful of yarn, and making something to wear with it - while NOT being crochet.
I know. Crochet is kind of the only thing that uses one stick, right? I thought so too... until I stumbled across a beautifully worked hat done in a fashion I'd never seen before.
Now normally this is where I would set out a photo of the thing I saw. Honestly, I've looked at so many examples and so many styles since then there's just no way whatsoever that I could find that object. This is not important, however. What IS important was that moment of discovery, the spark of inquiry that resulted. I was immediately hooked (pardon the crochet pun) and had to burrow in to all the info I could get. Immediately.
Unfortunately, unlike a lot of previous attempts at makin' learnin', it turns out that not too many people do nalbinding. Of those people that do, a LOT of them don't speak English, or else just don't feel inclined to translate their web pages in to English from Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic... it has largely survived thanks to the efforts of the Viking's proud descendants, who saw what their relatives were doing with a chunk of wood that had a hole in it and a whole lotta thread and thought "I have GOT to get on that bandwagon."
Apparently nalbinding predates knitting, crochet, most other methods of garment creation by a few thousand years. It would seem this is true, because they even have archaeological digs to back this up. Even cooler -and what tugs at the inner science-geek for me- is that most of the stitches are named after the dig sites the samples were unearthed at.
Now, to go this long without showing you an example is a bit silly because a lot of you are probably thinking "dear god, how many other ways to wrap yarn around itself ARE there?"
Well... this is one:
And this is where I get a bit smarmy and say with some sort of assumed knowledge that I do believe that's the Oslo stitch, done in many different types of yarn/thread/whatever that shiny stuff is.
To say that it is addictive is like saying that chocolate is a good idea to give to a woman...obvious. If you watch anybody that does it, it should be obvious they love doing it. This, and the plethora of videos on YouTube on the subject should be enough to convince anybody that those that know how to do the craft, love the craft.
Generally speaking, wool is used... the good stuff, the grungy stuff ripe with bits of straw and lanolin almost oozing off of it is best, and handspun makes a lovely presentation because it is already a lacy-looking stitch to begin with. It will show off the texture of handspun beautifully in whatever it's worked with.
Now, the tools are also ridiculously simple. You need, first and foremost, yarn. Wool yarn, although some say that silk is allowable based on some historical findings. You will also find that people that do this take pride in the historical nature of the craft and therefore are kind of hardass about sticking with tradition. That being said, acrylic would be an utter failure with this craft as the means to join the yarn when you've run out of "live" yarn to work with won't function and nobody wants to weave in that many ends.
So yes. You need... yarn. And you need your "nal" - or "nadel", "naal", or "needle" as we call them these days. And then you work some loops and you end up with something that's pretty epic looking.
This, btw, is not my work, and neither was the first. Credit, ALWAYS, where it is due. :)
As you can see, it's a series of loops laced through one another, and the end result, depending on how thick or how thin the yarn is, can look like anything from lace to a serious, solid piece of fabric. Based on what I've seen, the most popular things to create with them are hats, socks and mittens. Which is basically the same as what knitters and crocheters do, honestly, so it just seems to me that if you've got a woman that plays with yarn in your family, eventually you ARE going to get a pair of socks from them no matter what their flavor of fiber craft.
< ---This, btw, is my own creation. Made from some gorgeous Manos del Uruguay in the "V" coloration (which I have dubbed "cinnamon") and incredibly warm. This was basically just a tube worked in the round, nothing fancy.
There is something very soothing about the repetition of the stitching, the looping, the creation of something both lace-like yet incredibly solid... and also the joy of knowing that even if you cut the sucker in half, it won't unravel! Dropped stitches just are NOT a problem with this thing.
While I am not one for tutorials I will provide a few links for anybody that falls on this page and finds interest, since it IS pretty cool and requires a minimum of equipment as well as storage space (I toss all my nalbinding projects in my Hello Kitty lunchbox with room to spare.)
First off... YouTube is absolutely your friend. Just go, type in "nalbinding" or "Oslo stitch" and you are off. There's at least two dozen videos out there that show how to go about working the various stitches, how to do it in the round, and how to make joins or work rows.
If you're in need of some awesome nalbinding needles, everybody I know sings the praises of The Spanish Peacock. They sell handmade needles in a few different styles as well as a few of the books available that cover the subject.
I personally went to Mielke's Fiber Arts for my stuff and got the book by Sigrin Briansdottir as a starter for things. I also grabbed a bone needle, which I later turned out not to like so much as it was splintery on one edge and rubbed my thumb. They sell wooden needles as well, which is what I now use and highly recommend. In addition to that, they also sell some gorgeous handspun wool from Bartlettyarns. I grabbed some in a light grey and it's wonderful, fluffy stuff. Another cool side benefit, the lanolin in the wool put a nice shine on all my wooden needles!
As far as sites for information, I direct you to the following:
~Viking Girl's Workshop (videos of the stitches are on this site, so it's of particular use)
~Bernhard's Nadelbinden (available in German and Dutch as well as English.)
~Dilletante Nalbinding (a few helpful tutorials, but also really nice if you just want to look at a whole ton of nalbinded items)
It's not often I go crazy explaining a hobby and start listing sources, so I hope some folks find this useful. It really is a very restful craft, and so far I've really enjoyed the arm warmers and socks I managed to cobble together from it. In addition to learning something that the Vikings used to do (!!), it also has the cool "historical reenactment" factor going for it. If you're in to that, anyway. I know I am. It's easy, it's portable, it'll get people who are really in to Making Things With Yarn curious and asking about what you're doing, and it might make you a few new friends. What's not to like about a hobby that'll do all of that for you? | <urn:uuid:e93a7a7d-a017-4f24-8d02-f3a6b586ce5a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://blog.roninmensch.com/2011/02/nalbinding-because-we-dont-have-enough.html | 2022-01-21T05:43:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.97884 | 1,646 |
To study the molecular mechanism by which nonmuscle myosin II (MII) regulates protrusion and adhesion dynamics in migrating cells, Swiss3T3 cells were co-stained for βPIX (green) and myosin IIA (red). These findings help elucidate a functional link between MII and Rac1/Cdc42 GTPases, which may regulate protrusion/adhesion dynamics in migrating cells. This image is the original data file from Fig. 2F “colocalization of MII with GEFs”, J. Cell Biol. 2010. Vol. 190(4):663–674.
Cells were cultured in DME (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen) at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Cells were serum-starved overnight, then fixed using 3.7% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS for 2 min, blocked with 2% BSA in PBS, and stained with the indicated primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with a secondary Alexa Fluor 488–, 546– or 594–conjugated antibody. Images were captured by Leica TCS SP2 confocal microscope with HCX PL APO 63X objective.

Heist fiction is not easy to write. It’s fast paced and twisty, and it takes a lot of characters.
Over the last two Wednesday posts, I’ve been throwing open the vault and letting out all crime writing secrets. If you need to catch up, you can get more help for your story with Tips for Writing a Heist and Picking the Loot. This week I’m talking about the characters.
Building any fictional heist crew starts with the same foundation as any other successful team: mutual self-interest and a certain level of professional courtesy. A bit of faith that the other team members know their jobs well enough not to get the rest of the group killed is a serious plus.
So here are 7 tips for creating a likeable gang of thieves.
1. Load up on leadership skills: The heist team is a basic pyramid structure. Someone needs to be at the top keeping everyone else in line. For me the path to creating a cheer-worthy heist crew started with a capable leader. I recommend packing this main character with all the attributes of a great boss. Make them smart, organized, and a good communicator. They should know how to delegate, how to take input from others, but be willing to make the difficult decisions.
2. Give the crew better than average looks and a lot of charisma: Who doesn’t love the idea of the sophisticated cat burglar? Having good-looking characters often plays into the story. You usually see it in the form of the decoy, or as the romantic subplot. The team needs to have enough charm to talk their way out of any sticky situation.
3. Shun the guns: This is critical for helping to create likeability. You don’t want the crew to engage in boundary crossing behaviors. No killing people. Make sure the crooks fight with their equals, or someone perceived as stronger. No picking on someone who is smaller and weaker. If the likeable crew gets aggressive, it’s after suitable provocation.
4. Show some emotion: A good heist boss shows he cares by engaging with the team, noticing their good work and helping them solve their problems. The team mirrors this affection back toward the leader in the form of respect, playful teasing and distress when something goes wrong.
5. Establish moral limits. Everyone needs a line they will not cross. Maybe your group only targets other bad guys. It’s hard to feel sorry for victims if they’re even bigger crooks than the heist team. The team can steal for a good cause. Or revenge can be the motive. What the crooks steal and why they steal it are two huge factors in creating sympathy for the heist team.
6. Don’t skimp on humor: A touch of awkwardness, some goofy pranks, anything from fast one-liners to someone falling out of a chair, can create a few laughs and make the characters, even crooks, seem more friendly and approachable. It’s not mandatory the story drip with the funny stuff, but a heist needs some tension breaking moments.
7. Include negatives to overcome: The nature of an anti-hero is they evolve. Don’t forget to throw in a few negative behaviors for your characters to conquer. Maybe one of your team is always watching for signs of a double-cross, it makes them jumpy and short-tempered. Later you can reveal the secret of a past partner’s betrayal and show them lowering their guard and learning to trust again.
Since I’m prone to writing stories with lots of characters, I’ve written a few posts on building large character casts. If you haven’t written anything with 20 or more characters, you might find one of my other posts helpful: Assembly Required or The Do’s and Don’ts of Getting a Group Together.
Casting my characters was the only time I found watching films useful. That was when I learned heists and capers are surprisingly formulaic films. And they share a large number of trope characters. Have some fun, grab a stack of DVDs and a notebook. If you find a new way to make heist characters more likeable, please share your idea in the comments area. | <urn:uuid:5fd79bee-cd25-418c-9fc8-3ec608067f5e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://writeonsisters.com/writing-craft/mystery-2/heist-character-tips/ | 2022-01-21T04:29:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.94487 | 889 |

The Czech Head of Press Kryštof Šámal announced that the participants for the National Final will be revealed on January 7th, 2019. The Czech Republic is going to select their entry for the second year in a row via the National selection process called Eurovision Song CZ (ESCZ). The announcement of the acts will be made that day at an official press conference.
In 2018, the winner of ESCZ was determined, from among six competing entries, by the combination of votes from a public vote and a ten-member international jury panel. For the public vote, users were able to vote for the winner. The international viewers were also able to cast their votes online but only votes from the Czech Republic were included in the final count.
But this time around, the International voters will have a say as all votes coming from outside the country will be tallied up and added as an additional International jury vote. Since there is no live show that will be broadcast or recorded, the eventual winner will be revealed at a later point, most likely at the end of January.
A report by CzechMag alleged that rapper PTK was selected internally to represent the country at Eurovision next year. However, Broadcaster Ceska Televize denied such claims and ESCZ will be the method to select the eventual winner.
A total of 300 entries were received, 60 of them were from Czech musicians. | <urn:uuid:803fbb5c-4786-4ecb-8434-23592fa48106> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.escunited.com/czech-republic-eurovision-song-cz-participants-to-be-revealed-on-january-7th/ | 2022-01-21T04:22:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.980985 | 286 |
We live in an increasingly complex world where the frequency and severity of critical problems exceed the capability of traditional methods to design and build solutions. New ways of coping with complex systems must leverage massive collaboration among persons, guided by the best analytic resources available. Scalable and elastic virtual environments are required so that large groups of persons can share experiences, mature ideas, and decide on solutions.
The vision is to rally innovators to explore the potential of virtual data worlds. We have plenty of problems to solve with enterprise analytics and big data. We have plenty of technology to apply with massively parallel processing, analytic tools, and now virtual reality. The challenge is the proper application of that technology to those problems.
Focus on Data Worlds
Our focus is the design and creation of virtual data worlds that brings together all the aspects and analyses of a complex system into one coherent environment. The approach of applying 3D visualizations and virtual reality to creating data worlds is quite old, with several decades of history. Current wisdom is that 2D visualization is sufficient and superior to the fancy 3D methods, for which there is research justification. However, there are numerous alternatives yet to be explored. In particular, the subjective feeling of immersion is elusive, and powerful advances in analytics are game changing. Finally, current practices of data visualization and potential advances with immersive analytics are complementary. If we are smart and careful enough, the synergism will result in something greater than the sum than its parts.
Thesis To Be Proven
Immersive Analytics facilitates collaborative decision making about complex business systems, while complementing current business intelligence tools and architecture. How do we prove the business value of IA? How does IA fit within typical IT infrastructures? How can IA leverage and integrate existing IT capabilities? How can IA extend these capabilities into collaborative environments?

This is a blog I have wanted to write for a while now. It is a strange one for me because in my questioning of people about this topic, I was given a real insight to how some close friends operate. And I wasn't always in favour of their actions or behaviour.
So, what is it?… It is leadership. More specifically, the negative side of being a head chef which stems from a simple question I was once asked.
“You seem like a nice guy Brian, but why are a lot of senior chefs complete dicks?”
This in turn, led me to ask other chefs questions about their management style. Having a focus on keeping a team happy and having a family feel, working environment over being a dictator overlord and master of the kitchen, who strikes fear in to all those who make eye contact.
Does one need to become a dick and be more aggressive with co-workers, in order to get the best out of them?
I know I’m using the negatives here. I am just curious to know whether the modern chef needs to be more aggressive in leadership to get the best out of their team. Should a chef rule by fear or friendship. In my own kitchens, people who work with, and for me tend to stick around a long time. Years in fact. This is rare in this trade which has a notoriously high turnover of staff. I pride myself on being calm, friendly, approachable and professional. My style is to lead through nurture and encouragement. I am very patient. Naturally, I have my darker side, but this doesn’t usually activate until several factors have been triggered. This was not always the case.
When I finished college. I was fuelled by tabloid stories of rock star chefs. Marco was turfing people out of his restaurant. Burton-Race was being exposed on TV as having a bit of a temper (allegedly). These guys were alpha, macho and forthright. They were, at this time, being pricks in my opinion. And I loved it! Modelling myself on this type of leadership. Having nightly confrontations with front of house staff or junior chefs. Even though, at this time, I was still a chef-baby. I was still a little delusional. I was mimicking the big boys of the industry, but I had no substance to back myself up apart from my ego. As I got older and wiser, the realisation of my childishness became tiring. I became a father quite young and this mellowed me out too. I guess I started seeing the chef and waiters working around me as people not targets. Parenthood isn’t the cheapest form of therapy, but it worked for me.
I recently watched an episode of Chefs Table which focussed on Chef Tim Raue. The self-confessed eccentric is regarded as one of the best chefs in Germany, Europe and the world. But is also famed for his aggression and intense personality. Yet chefs want to work with/for him. I believe the same can be said for several of the world’s best chefs?
So, getting back to my question. Is the aggression needed in the kitchen? Do we need to rule with fear? Where does the fear stop and the respect begin? I like to believe that I have the respect of my team in my kitchen. We only have a small working area (3 people maximum, 2 chefs, 1 wash up). This does not allow for being a prick. There are more jokes and banter in our tiny box of a kitchen. I take my food very seriously, but it will never take precedence over the connection I make with my colleagues. Is this the wrong attitude? There are times when I have supressed my anger for fear of upsetting a co-worker. I know that an outburst would have an effect on the environment because of our small working area. I understand that the higher profile kitchens and chefs will have way more pressure on them than I will ever get in my pub kitchen. I get that. It’s just we are still seeing and reading a media portrayal of  head chefs screaming at their commis. I guess that makes a more interesting story than people all being nice to each other. Is it time for the friendly chef to stand up and be heard. Or will they just get shouted down and verbally abused by the tsunami of testosterone (that sounded better in my head). All that being said, the scariest head chef I ever worked for was female.
In this modern era where a seven second video clip can end a career. Not to mention an ill thought out tweet or blog. We need to be careful and respectful. It isn’t the 1990's anymore….apparently 😊! | <urn:uuid:bca34f56-801e-49bd-a527-55ab6a84a164> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.knifeofbrian.co.uk/blog/archives/10-2017 | 2022-01-21T04:57:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.979439 | 975 |
All this time I have used a Centaur and just put the HQ flag in it to symbolize what type of unit that were using it.
So when Nicklas asked if I would like to order from Forge World one Centaur and one Death Korps of Krieg Command HQ Squad and a Centaur was defenitely the first thing on my mind. To build a centaur with the Command in since symbolizing is not an option.
I could not keep my fingers in place so I also ordered two special weapon squads for the Elysians.
In our group we have been very skeptical about tranfers but I thout why not give it a try. An Death Korps tranfer sheet accidentally became part of the order. When I recived it I was more then impressed. They are big! The mini is an Elysian. | <urn:uuid:03f3bd0e-17e5-4e1e-ab2f-bd2e8f174123> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.orbicularisoculi.be/2011/03/new-arrivals.html | 2022-01-21T05:31:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.970386 | 174 |
Verity by Colleen Hoover
Psychological Thriller with Romance. Standalone.
Wow. I don’t even know how to review Verity by Colleen Hoover. I don’t read thrillers. I don’t watch thrillers. But I also avoid ugly cry books but Colleen has made me love hers. So I trusted her and went in blind, only knowing that it was very different than her past works.
“Some families are lucky enough to never experience a single tragedy. But then there are those families that seem to have tragedies waiting on the back burner. What can go wrong, goes wrong. And then gets worse.”
Verity is not an easy read. I am not really even sure if I can say it was an enjoyable read. But it was brilliant. Amazingly well written and unputdownable, Colleen will leave you questioning everything.
Verity Crawford is a hugely popular suspense author. Her bestselling series had three more books to go when tragedy happened. And then more tragedy. And then one more tragedy that made Verity unable to finish the series. So her husband and publisher hired a co-writer to help complete the rest of the books.
“My mother used to say that houses have a soul, and if that is true, the soul of Verity Crawford’s house is as dark as they come.”
Lowen was a struggling author on the brink of being homeless when the opportunity arose to finish writing the series. She stayed at Verity’s home with her husband and son to go through Verity’s office and notes to begin to write the next three books. While going through everything, she also came across a manuscript of Verity’s autobiography.
“There is no light where we’re going. This is your final warning. Darkness ahead.”
Listen folks, Verity is disturbing. It’s creepy. It will have you questioning things. But you won’t be able to put it down.
That quote perfectly describes how it felt to read Verity. Now the thing is, for the most part, I need to love the characters, or at least one of the characters in a book I am reading. I didn’t in Verity. I didn’t particularly like any of them. But I don’t think this book is really supposed to be likable. Still, it was good. It was unputdownable and made me doubt every thought I had.
- Amazingly well-written.
- Creepy as hell, but I could handle it.
- This is not a “safe” read by any means, and Colleen never took the safe way out.
- The end was a mindfuck.
- I didn’t really like any of the characters.
The Down & Dirty:
Rating: 4.5 Stars (The writing is 5 stars but I’m still not sure if I loved it). Heat 3.5
Purchase Verity by Colleen Hoover
Hi Colleen! I just finished reading Verity and holy shit, that was crazy! I am not a scary book or movie person. This is never a book I would have read, but it’s Colleen Hoover, so I had to. I’m so glad I did!
First of all, where are you as you answer these questions?
I’m sitting at my desk in my makeshift office. We sold our office building and are waiting to move into our new office, but in the meantime, mine and Erica and Stephanie’s desks are cramped together and they’re making Christmas boxes to mail out to some of the CoHorts while I catch up online.
What inspired you to write Verity?
I can narrow it down to a couple of things. For one, Jeremy’s character was inspired by my husband and how he doesn’t read my books because he has a hard time separating my characters’ thoughts and actions from my own morals. Heath (my husband) is very concrete in his thoughts and I wanted to use that piece of him to inspire a character in this book.
But the idea for Verity came to me as my mother and I left the theater earlier this year. We had seen a scary movie and I left disappointed because I hated the ending. I thought the first half of the movie was brilliant, but then when the paranormal aspect was introduced, I was let down. Paranormal things don’t scare me. Real life situations—things that can actually happen to you—is what scares me. I was complaining to my mother about how I was hoping the movie would end with it being something that could possibly happen to me in real life. When I got home, I started writing an outline. Several hours later, I had completed the outline for Verity.
Has your mind always been so twisted and you were just hiding it? Haha
You know, I don’t want to answer this with a yes, but it’s a resounding yes. My mother and sister have been waiting for me to step outside of romance for a while. They’re confused how a romance novel even came out of me, much less 16 of them. But yes, I’m a little odd and have a very sinister sense of humor. I’m not romantic or emotional, so if I had to match a book with my personality, I’d say Verity comes much closer than anything I’ve written before it.
I do strange things, like watch car crashes on youtube to relax before falling asleep every night. It was only a matter of time before my actual personality was reflected in a book.
Were you worried about how a different genre would be received by your readers?
Absolutely. I’m known for writing love stories, and while this book does touch on romance, it is nothing like what I’ve written in the past. I was hoping at least some of my readers would support me and read the book, but I have been blown away by response to Verity. Absolutely stunned.
Do you have any special ways you celebrate the holidays?
Not really. I just like to relax and spend time with my family. I don’t like receiving gifts so Christmas is always a little awkward for me. I’d rather just buy everyone else something and not have to open anything.
What are some of your most special and memorable holiday gifts and memories?
As I said above, I prefer not to receive gifts. I think what I dislike about it is the attention and people watching me as I unwrap. I don’t like attention at all. Which is probably the reason my favorite Christmas memory is my favorite. I was eight and my mother woke us up and told us Santa ran out of wrapping paper and couldn’t wrap our gifts. There were two sheets under the tree and she pulled away the sheets and our gifts were all laid out, unwrapped. I loved it! I didn’t have to open anything and it was so much fun looking at all the toys and not feeling like I had to have a reaction to each one.
Have you done any reading lately? What are some recent recommendations?
I just finished Flowers In The Attic last night by VC Andrews. I’ve never read anything by her and was consumed by that book. I started it at 9 pm last night and read until 2 am.
Have you been binge watching anything great?
I haven’t watched television in over three months. But I do want to see the new Dumplin’ move that just released on Netflix so I’ll probably watch that tonight. As far as binge watching, though…I have a short attention span. I don’t think I’ve ever finished an entire series of any TV show if it has more than six or seven episodes. Ever. If I start something with more than one season, I feel overwhelmed and look up spoilers online and then never finish. I think this is why I mostly write standalones. I move on extremely fast from stories.
What music are you currently into? (Psst: my son released a new single this week, “Scared of the Dark” #shamelessmomplug )
Congrats to him! I’ll check it out. As always, I’m into The Avett Brothers. But I recently started listening to Hobo Johnson. His songs are so unique, like a mixture of a band with slam poetry. He’s one of a kind and me and my boys love his stuff.
Can I have a Chrismukkah Confession? Tell me something you don’t share often.
I never believed in Santa. I thought it was such a silly concept.
Thanks so much and have a very happy holiday!

Crypterium, crypto payment firm led by former Visa exec, has shipped about 4,000 crypto debit cards in a week since the launch of the card, according to a press release on June 27.
Crypterium, an Estonia-headquartered fintech company, launched its Crypterium Card on June 12, offering global community a prepaid card loaded with major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), litecoin (LTC), USD Coin (USDC), as well as Crypterium’s own CRPT token.
As the company wrote in the announcement, the new bitcoin card operates “in the same way as a traditional prepaid card,” enabling online and in-store crypto purchases on a number of services including Amazon, Netflix, as well as tuition fees, or medical bills, among others. With that, users can also cash out from “any of the 2 million” automatic teller machines (ATMs), with funds converted automatically to local currencies.
Crypterium has managed to deliver 3,736 Crypterium Cards to around 70 countries in the first week after the launch of the solution, citing “booming demand” amid the current BTC price surge and nascent bull market.
While the majority of card orders have come from the United States, the firm also noted a significant demand from the Asia-Pacific region, with Australia ranking third by orders. Exceptional demand, in particular, came from countries with weak local currencies and unstable economies.
Steven Parker, former General Manager of global payment giant Visa, said that these impressive numbers reflect the actual global demand for a “stable debit card” that provides equal status to crypto and traditional currencies in terms of payments.
On June 11, U.S.-based crypto exchange and wallet service Coinbase launched its Visa debit card in six European countries, enabling customers to sync their cards directly to their Coinbase accounts and withdraw fiat currencies from ATMs.
Earlier this week, Cointelegraph reported that the total number of global bitcoin ATMs (BTMs) has reached 5,000. | <urn:uuid:728d7dc4-0ce4-4dad-9cd6-74564e60759e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://blockchain-arena.com/former-visa-exec-led-startup-ships-nearly-4000-crypto-cards-in-a-week/ | 2022-01-21T04:50:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.947258 | 430 |
The repair permissions trick ultimately didn’t work (I knew it wouldn’t), so back to the Apple Store to drop off the box for repair. Irks me no end that Apple will not give you a SuperDrive to install yourself. Ten minutes and problem could be solved, but no, they want the whole machine, want to ship it to Infinite Loop or wherever their repair monkeys live, and ship it back. I can appreciate that they want to “control the experience,” top to bottom, reduce injection of foreign objects into the hardware, but shoot, I’d be willing to sign a waiver. It’s both insulting and a waste of time.
Anyway. Took Miles with me. When he was there a week ago, we showed him the Curious George game on one of the eMacs, and he seemed to enjoy, even though he’s too young even for the preschool levels. This time he started pointing and grunting as soon as we got in the store. Persisted until I put him down. He ran across the store and plopped himself down in front of Curious George. Started whacking at the keyboard, smiling ear to ear, squealing. Uh-oh.

Medicinal uses of the cannabis plant (e.g., medical marijuana, hemp) have now been legalized in most US states. In addition to terpenoids and flavonoids, the plant may contain over 85 different types of therapeutically active compounds known as cannabinoids, the main two of which are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). In recent years, medications based on concentrated cannabis extracts have become popular because they allow many routes of administration that are preferable to smoking the plant itself.
Oral administration using cannabis extract-infused food (edibles) or beverages is potentially one of the most convenient routes because it does not require special equipment and is appropriate for most patients. There are, however, several important challenges. Concentrates are sticky, viscous and hydrophobic substances, which are difficult to handle and incompatible with water. When consumed as edibles, they act through gastrointestinal absorption and exhibit delayed (up to several hours!) onset of action. Formulating "medicated" beverages has also been challenging due to cannabis extracts' poor solubility in water, which severely limits the deliverable doses. In addition, poor water solubility results in low bioavalablility: only a small fraction of orally administered cannabinoids is absorbed, requiring patients to consume a lot more than would otherwise be necessary.
Luckily, the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries have a well-established solution for overcoming these challenges: the delivery of a water-insoluble drug can be tremendously improved by formulating it as a nanoemulsion.
Benefits of Nano-Cannabinoids
Cannabis extract nanoemulsions (nano-cannabinoids) provide exceptionally high bioavailability and therapeutic effect, and are absorbed by the body, either orally or through the skin, very rapidly and completely. In fact, the uptake starts to occur in the mouth almost immediately upon oral administration. This means higher potency and faster onset of action for lower doses. In addition, nano-cannabinoids are water-compatible and can be easily mixed into beverages at essentially any desired concentration.
Nano-cannabinoid formulations are simple to make with Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM)’ patented Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology. Our high-amplitude ultrasonic processors can continuously produce pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extract nanoemulsions on laboratory, bench and industrial scales, guaranteeing reproducible results and superior quality.

During nano-emulsification with ultrasound, the necessary shear forces are created by cavitation, which produces violently and asymmetrically imploding vacuum bubbles and causes micro-jets that break up cannabis extract droplets down to the nanometer scale. High ultrasonic amplitudes on the order of 70 - 90 microns are necessary in order to take advantage of this effect. In addition to being able to produce high amplitudes, the utilized ultrasonic technology must be directly scalable. During the scale-up, it is essential to make sure that the ultrasonic amplitude and other conditions remain the same: this will ensure that the final product quality is unchanged while the productivity rate is increased.
Why ISM's Ultrasonic Technology?
It all boils down to direct scale-up. Due to technological limitations, when a conventional ultrasonic processor is scaled up, the maximum ultrasonic amplitude it can provide (along with the resulting cavitation intensity) drops well below the level needed for nano-emulsification.
Although conventional ultrasonic systems with high power capacities are available, they still cannot provide high amplitudes. These systems achieve high power levels through a disproportionate increase in the horn surface area, not the intensity of cavitation.
ISM's Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT)-based bench and industrial-scale ultrasonic liquid processors are free from this limitation and can provide the same high ultrasonic amplitudes and cavitation intensities as are taken advantage of during laboratory optimization.
With our technology, one can expect reproducible post-scale-up results, where the production rates are increased by orders of magnitude without any loss in the final product quality. ISM's commercial-scale processors are widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries to continuously produce nanoemulsions with exceptional quality.

The library system of the University of Chicago, one of the largest university collections in North America, contains over 12 million volumes in print and electronic form. Classics students will find most books and periodicals dealing with the ancient world in the Joseph Regenstein Library, but may want to consult holdings in the Oriental Institute’s Research Archives, in the D'Angelo Law Library, or in the John Crerar Library for science and technology.
The specialist bibliographer for Classics at Regenstein Library is Catherine Mardikes.
The Library’s Research Guide to Classics provides a comprehensive list of resources. Online Greek and Latin dictionaries are available at Logeion. Students may find the Library's other research guides in related subjects to be useful as well.
The Classics collection began as a key component of the Library’s founding acquisition, the Berlin Collection of 1891, and subsequent development has been continuous. Ongoing routine acquisitions as well as substantial block purchases and donated collections have built one of the country’s most significant research resources in the field.
In addition to current monographs, the Library receives more than 1500 serials of interest for the study of ancient Greece and Rome. Major editions of classical texts printed from the Renaissance through the 18th century are found in the Special Collections Research Center, which also houses collections of papyri and Greek and Latin manuscripts.
The Classics Reading Room contains a full collection of Greek and Latin texts and commentaries, as well as the epigraphic, art historical and archaeological collections, other basic resources, and it provides a comfortable place to work and study with other classicists.
The following list of resources are available online:
· The Library Catalog can be searched for all materials held by the University of Chicago Library.
· The Classics Serials Guide can be searched for the locations of and information about print and online serials at the University of Chicago Library.
· The Guide to Art History and Visual Arts provides information for art historical and archaeological research.
· E-Journals provides access to individual journal titles available online through the University of Chicago Library.
· The Electronic Full-Text Sources Guide provides links to primary sources.
· There is also a Manuscript Source Guide.
· For helpful resources on historical cartography and spatial analysis as well as digital maps, see the Ancient World Mapping Center and its Antiquity À-la-Carte database, Pleiades, and the Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations.
Museums and Collections
The University of Chicago has access to world class museums and collections of material culture from the ancient Mediterranean world, both on campus and in the broader Chicago area. These include The Oriental Institute, established in 1919 by James Henry Breasted as a premier center of research on the history, art, and archaeology of the ancient Near East. Within the OI is the Center for Ancient Middle East Landscapes (CAMEL), a renowned hub for learning geospatial analysis using historical archives of spatial and archaeological data. The Smart Museum of Art, located north of the Regenstein Library, possesses significant Greek, Roman, Cypriot and other ancient material that can be utilized in teaching, especially through coordination with the Feitler Center of Academic Inquiry, which promotes object-oriented pedagogy through the museum’s collections. These institutions offer several opportunities for student involvement, including internships and research assistantships.
On campus, several institutes, libraries, and centers offer opportunities to engage with exhibitions or colloquia pertinent to the study of the ancient world. Housed within the Regenstein Library, The Franke Institute for the Humanities is a key locus of intellectual activity on campus that often hosts fellows, conferences, and symposia working on ancient material. The Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society regularly presents collaborative research projects that incorporate the visual arts and material culture, as does the David Logan Center for the Arts. The University’s professional Court Theatre also hosts performances and compositions in collaboration with faculty that frequently involve translations, adaptations, and transformations of classical texts.
In addition to the numerous workshops and events happening across campus, students interested in the ancient world can find collegial networks like the undergraduate-run Classics Society and UCAN, the University of Chicago Archaeological Nexus, which provides access and information on events, courses, and current research and fieldwork opportunities for the archaeological community of faculty members, postdocs, and students.
Further afield, the Art Institute of Chicago offers access to renowned collections of ancient art and archaeological material, while the Field Museum of Natural History has acquisitions of Greek and Roman material from its founding and establishes periodic exhibitions of historical objects.
Life at University of Chicago
Campus & Student Life, which comprises 18 offices, exists to help Chicago students and members of the University community navigate living on and around campus. They provide information and resources to learn about everything from academic opportunities to dining options, housing, health and wellness, safety and transportation, and spiritual life on campus.
An additional critical resource on campus is UChicagoGrad, which is dedicated to helping graduate students and postdocs receive training related to teaching, writing support, and career preparation as well as to skills in public speaking and networking. Their website provides important guides for academic support, a database of internal and external fellowships, as well as information on graduate life on campus and in Hyde Park. Prospective and incoming international students may further wish to read the Division of the Humanities' advice for international students. | <urn:uuid:04c9c050-504e-4983-93f5-82bac066e3b5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://classics.uchicago.edu/about/resources | 2022-01-21T05:59:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.92434 | 1,126 |
Airborne surveys of southern Alaska have helped scientists get a better handle on where ice is being lost from this heavily glaciated region. Melting ice from Alaskan glaciers is estimated to be one of the main contributors to global sea level rise.
The maps above show changes to glaciers between 1994 and 2013 in southern Alaska, as well as parts of Canada’s Yukon Territory and British Columbia. Specifically, the maps show the region’s mass balance—the difference between the ice each glacier has gained and lost each year. The change is shown in meters of meltwater equivalent; that is, the depth of water that would result if that ice were melted. In general, red colors show where glaciers have thinned, and blue colors are where they have thickened. The bottom image shows a close-up view of the Wrangell and St. Elias mountain ranges.
Scientists estimated the mass balance from changes in the surface elevation of 116 glaciers, which were observed at roughly the same time every year with lidar instruments mounted on aircraft. They determined that the region lost about 75 billion tons of ice per year over a 19-year period. That’s about 30 percent of the amount of ice thought to be lost each year from the Greenland ice sheet. The results were published in June 2015 in Geophysical Research Letters.
As the maps show, not all glaciers are losing ice equally. “From glacier to glacier, there is a large amount of variability in how each is responding to climate,” said Chris Larsen, a researcher at University of Alaska at Fairbanks and lead author of the paper.
Other Alaskan glaciers lose mass though surface melting and runoff. Though the ice itself never reaches the sea, the meltwater does. This glacier type accounted for 70 percent of the mass loss from the region. Larsen expects that ice loss from surface melt will continue into the future as the climate warms.

Whether you are planning to use the SOMOS 1 or 2 Spanish curriculum for the first time this fall or have been working with it for several years already, I hope that this post will answer most of the ‘big’ questions that you have as you are planning for the upcoming school year. For everything else, try asking in the SOMOS Curriculum Collaboration group on Facebook to get a timely answer.
FAQ #1: How did you choose Core Vocabulary?
Spanish 1: I chose the novels that I wanted my students to read by the end of Spanish 1B (their second year of Spanish) and made a list of the vocabulary that they would need to read it. I ‘sequenced’ it based on importance and which words grouped well together for storytelling and cultural exploration. I originally backward planned from El Nuevo Houdini.
Spanish 2: I looked at the Spanish 2 textbook that the various high school teachers in my district were using (since mine was the first Spanish 2 course offered at the middle school level in my district) and pulled out the grammar that I needed to ‘cover’ in order to be in alignment with them and get my course approved 🙂 I then chose high frequency words that I could use to provide input for each pattern.
FAQ #2: How many units can I expect to get through in a year?
It totally varies. I saw students for 45-50 minutes per day, five times per week.
In the first year (Spanish 1A), I covered Units 1-20 and then finished out the year with a novel. I have found that almost no one gets this far in the curriculum, especially since I have added lots of optional supplements and extensions for each unit over the last few years since I left the classroom. Any time that I find an #authres, a song, or a topic that connects with a unit, I just can’t resist adding it 🙂 The result is that you have LOTS of different things to choose from for each unit, and you don’t need to do everything. Of course you can if you want 😉 I started out Spanish 1B (the second year of Spanish 1) with Units 21-27, then moved on to a novel, then jumped into my Spanish 2 curriculum. I recommend searching the SCC group archives for this question, since it has been asked MANY times.
My Spanish 2 curriculum filled one full year when combined with two novels.
So, my last full year of teaching, I started my Spanish 1As with SOMOS 1, Unit 1; my Spanish 1Bs with SOMOS 1, Unit 21; and my Spanish 2s with SOMOS 2, Unit 1.
FAQ #3: Are assessments included within the units?
In Spanish 1, most units contain reading, writing, and/or speaking assessments. The assessments are always optional, and the optional assessments included with each unit are listed in this document.
In Spanish 2, few assessments are included. Many teachers that are using the curriculum have created and shared assessments for the units in the SOMOS Curriculum Collaboration group (which I will refer to as the SCC group from here on out).
Midterm and final assessments are not included for either curriculum, but I have shared several options on this blog, and teachers have also created and shared options in the SCC Facebook group.
FAQ #4: Do I have to do everything?
No! If you are feeling overwhelmed by all of the things that are included with each unit and feel like you need to move faster (or want to skip something), don’t worry! As long as you find some way to expose your students to the target structures for each unit (a TPRS story, MovieTalk, reading, discussion, storytelling, etc.), your students should be able to handle the following units. You might find that you get to one unit and your students already know all of the structures from non-SOMOS sources (weekend chats or personal especial, for example). Each unit assumes that students are familiar with the structures from all previous units, so I DO recommend spending some time with each set of structures before moving on to the next unit.
FAQ #5: What else do I need?
For Spanish 1, you don’t NEED anything else, but I would recommend teaching at least one novel and/or implementing a Free Voluntary Reading (FVR) program. You will need reading materials in order to do this. You can purchase novels from Fluency Matters, TPRS Books, Mira Canion, Spanish Cuentos, other independent authors, or many other places. To fill a year of Spanish 2, you will definitely need to purchase some novels or find/create other materials to fill your year.
FAQ #6: Which novels do you recommend I use with SOMOS?
- For the first class novel, I recommend using either Brandon Brown dice la verdad or Brandon Brown quiere un perro as a first read. Even high schoolers love them!
- My preferred second novel is Agentes secretos y el mural de Picasso.
- After that, I would recommend teaching Esperanza. Both are highly cultural and engaging.
- From there, I would check out El Nuevo Houdini or Brandon Brown versus Yucatán.
- The best way to decide is to order one copy of each novel that you think might work and read them for yourself. There are many more, excellent novels than I have listed here; these are just my personal preferences. You will be able to make the best decision for your classes once you are familiar with the content, reading level, and pacing of each novel.
- And…if you want to teach a whole-class novel, I recommend stopping everything else and doing ONLY the novel until you get through it. More on that here.
FAQ #7: Does SOMOS work at the elementary level?
I developed SOMOS while teaching at the middle and high school levels. I do not recommend using SOMOS at the elementary level, at least as it is written. The curriculum is content-rich, and assumed background knowledge and maturity level is 6th grade plus. Because elementary programs typically have extremely limited seat time, I recommend choosing a curriculum that is specifically written for programs with those constraints. Four resources that I strongly recommend checking out for elementary Spanish are ¡Hola niños! (a curriculum from Fluency Matters), Había una vez (a curriculum from Amy (Roe) Vanderdeen of The Storyteller’s Corner), resources from Mrs. Spanish (Anne Marie Mitchell, who uses SOMOS with some of her older kids and so her elementary resources typically work well with SOMOS), and Spanish Cuentos.
FAQ #8: What changes should I make if I teach a block schedule?
It is unrealistic to plan to cover two full days of lesson plans from the curriculum in one 90 minute block. You will need to allow time for movement and ‘rest’. I recommend using lots of brain breaks and taking a look at Sara-Elizabeth’s primacy/recency lesson plan template. Look critically at the activities that I lay out for a week, and consider how you might move them around in order to fit into her lesson plan template given that there are two learning ‘episodes’ happening in each block period.
FAQ #9: Are grammar lessons included in the curriculum?
No. I do not include grammar lessons in the curriculum, nor in the bundles. Because we know that explicit instruction does not supersede the order of acquisition, many teachers do not choose to teach explicit grammar lessons and so I would hate to price units for their inclusion when many teachers would not use them. If you are a teacher like me that has chosen to give short grammar lessons following rich, extensive input, you can purchase my grammar lessons separately. Choose when to teach them based on how familiar your students are with the topic (ex: give an -AR present tense conjugation lesson once students have seen lots and lots of different -AR verb endings across several units and you have done pop-up grammar throughout). This will be different for each teacher, and here is a link to the grammar category in my store.
FAQ #10: How can I get by without printing so many activities?
Whether you are desk-less, 1:1, or just don’t want to use a lot of paper, there are several ways to work around printing the many activities that I include in the curriculum. I suggest creating class sets of materials whenever possible. Laminate anything that will be manipulated. You are also allowed to give students access to digital versions of files IF those files are in a password protected area (such as google classroom where each student has a unique password). Replace writing activities with class discussion or have students use individual whiteboards instead.
You can now assign any reading from the curriculum through Garbanzo!
FAQ #11: Can I skip the TPRS story portion of each unit since I am not good at it?
Please see this post about what to do if TPRS is failing. You can also read this post about managing responses and this post about soliciting illustrated responses. Another good post is this one by Annabelle Allen about Story Cubes.
Please also watch this video on NOT Storyasking from Summer 2019:
FAQ #12: What homework should I assign with SOMOS?
I do not assign homework, nor do I recommend assigning homework. If you have to or want to, check out Sara-Elizabeth’s real world homework ideas. Many units include a ‘bonus’ worksheet (storyboard, reading, puzzle, etc) that you could assign as homework, and a group of SOMOS teachers has even collaborated to create at least two such activities for each unit that teachers can use as absent work or homework. It is all in the Drive folder of the SCC Facebook group!
FAQ #13: I need to follow a textbook curriculum and administer textbook exams. Is SOMOS compatible?
If you are tied to a textbook, you will need to do a good bit of manipulating. You will either need to follow the SOMOS curriculum and supplement with explicit vocab and grammar lessons before each textbook assessment, or you will need to follow the textbook and inject lessons and activities from SOMOS where they match the textbook content. It’s definitely not ideal, although there are teachers out there making it work.
FAQ #14: How can I use SOMOS with interactive notebooks?
Check out the Interactive-ish notebooks video in our SOMOS Collaboration Group!
FAQ #15: Is SOMOS compatible with AP or IB?
Teachers that are familiar with these programs and tests say “yes”, although I do not have personal experience with either. Ask in the SCC group for specific feedback from teachers in the know 😉
FAQ #16: Is SOMOS available in other languages?
The first nine units are available in French, and more are in the works. There are no plans for it to be available in other languages.
FAQ #17: Do you plan to release curriculum for Spanish 3 or 4?
No. I recommend teaching a novel-based curriculum for upper levels. Search the SCC group archives for specific suggestions from teachers with experience (I never taught upper levels with comprehension based methods, so my suggestions are all just theoretical, not based on personal experience). Kristy Placido, Carrie Toth, and Kara Jacobs all have blogs and TpT stores with lots of great resources for these levels, and Allison Wienhold and Cynthia Hitz have blogged extensively about using novels and other resources in their upper level classes. | <urn:uuid:f14983e8-219d-4b63-b811-50d32765aa2b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://comprehensibleclassroom.com/2017/08/16/somos-curriculum-frequently-asked-questions/ | 2022-01-21T05:14:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.952798 | 2,429 |

Hello fellow bookworms. Since I finished my ABC book challenge last Saturday I’ve needed something to fill my weekends, and when I saw Six for Sunday run by the amazing Steph over at A Little but a Lot, I knew I had to join in!
This weeks Six For Sunday is all about your favourite Authors. This is going to be incredibly hard to narrow down, simply because I have so many authors whose books I love, but I’m going to give it a go. Do you have an author you would consider your favourite or multiple? Let me know in the comments.
1.Naomi Novik – I fell in love with her work after reading Uprooted for the first time, and since then I’ve tried to get my hands on as many of her books as possible. I loved Spinning Silver, and have recently purchased the first 3 books in her Termeraire series, and I cant wait to dig in. Her writing style is gorgeous, and I just get pulled into her stories head first.
2. Leigh Bardugo – I don’t think there is a book of Leigh’s that I haven’t enjoyed. Her characters are some of my most loved, mainly for their witty dialect and that they’re not always the good guys, yes I’m talking about you Kaz! I’m currently reading King of Scars and I’m so happy I get to read more Nickolai!
3. Jeffrey Deaver – Crime was the first *adult* style genre that I read, and I quickly fell in love with Deavers Lincoln Rhyme series. One thing I like is how even after 14 book in the series, the plots always keep me hooked, and I love the evidence board style investigation, always makes me feel like a part of the team.
4 . Jill Mansell – I wouldn’t class myself as a romance novel fan. but Jill’s books are the exception. She writes such witty and realistic characters, the best way I can describe her books is a really good rom-com in book form. I always recommend her books for anyone in a reading slump, or people looking for an easy but still enjoyable read.
5. Victoria Schwab – I’ll admit to not liking all of Schwab’s books, but her ADSOM series is one of my all time favourites. I adore Kell and Lila, and Lila has some of my favourite bookish quotes. Her world building is fantastic and she drags you into Red London head first. I have Vicious & Vengeful on my TBR, and I think I may have to move them up the list.
6. Harper Lee– She may only have published 2 books but To Kill a Mockingbird is pretty much my all time favourite read. Her writing style is sublime, and I feel it took a lot of guts to write a novel like this at the time it was published. This is one book I recommend to everybody! It should be a staple in any readers bookshelf, and I’ve yet to find someone who didn’t take something away from this book whether they enjoyed it or not.
Well that’s my top 6! There are so many more amazing authors out there whose books I’ve loved. Are there any authors on here who would make your list? | <urn:uuid:1d4cfcdf-4de0-44d3-be9b-bc30b5c49b3e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://crooksbooks.blog/2019/03/03/s4s-favourite-author/ | 2022-01-21T05:48:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.96759 | 712 |
In Pycom’s ESP32 MicroPython port there are no restrictions on what can be done within an interrupt handler. For example, other ports do not allow allocating memory inside the handler or the use of sockets.
These limitations were raised by handling the interrupt events differently. When an interrupt happens, a message is posted into a queue, notifying a separate thread that the appropriate callback handler should be called. Such handler would receive an argument. By default it is the object associated with the event.
The user can do whatever is required inside of the callback, such as creating new variables, or even sending network packets. Bear in mind that interrupts are processed sequentially and thus it is ideal to keep the handlers as short as possible in order to attend all of them in the minimum time.
Currently, there are 2 classes that support interrupts; the
Pin classes. Both classes provide the
.callback() method that enables the interrupt and registers the given handler. For more details about interrupt usage along with examples, please visit their respective sections.
Currently the interrupt system can queue up to 16 interrupts. | <urn:uuid:b9ee8e74-9b96-417c-a446-755383800086> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/notes/ | 2022-01-21T06:14:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.934437 | 228 |
Plectere curve at Van der Valk Exclusive Hotel Deventer
Van der Valk opened its first energy-neutral and natural gas-free hotel in the Netherlands. This new building in Deventer represents an innovative step in the Van Der Valk Exclusive signature.
The historic city of Deventer was a great source of inspiration for the development of this new Van Der Valk Exclusive Hotel. The total concept is based on medieval building styles and textures, and old crafts, including book printing and and weaving. The integration of these crafts into the decorative concept is realized by the contributions of many contemporary Dutch designers. In this project Studio Petra Vonk, Roos Soetekouw, Kamer 465 and Alex de Witte collaborated with the interior designer Marco Bolderhij.
With Plectere curve, Studio Petra Vonk has created visual and acoustic separation of the two meeting rooms in the lobby. In addition to the acoustic effect, the braided felt panels in the beautiful taupe color also have a strong visual effect: privacy is created for the people in the consulting rooms. In addition, the repetition of the pattern and the curved shape of the Plectere panels provides a visual link with the counter, which is located between the two consulting rooms.

At the Minatomirai store, in addition to the same gelato as other stores (starting from 420 yen including S size tax), the store's limited menu "Brioche Congelato" will be offered.
Brioche congelato is a sweet made by sandwiching gelato with bread "brioche" that uses plenty of eggs and butter. It originated in Sicily, Italy.

Extent1 collection (1 file box)
The collection contains correspondence from Harrison Smith to his lawyer, Howard Fischer, and to music publishers; correspondence between Fischer and various music publishers; Smith’s pre-trial memorandum for his lawsuit against RCA in U.S. District Court; miscellaneous notes.
Biographical / Historical
Harrison Smith was a jazz concert promoter and booking agent. Jelly Roll Morton hired Smith as a New York partner in a booking agency whose main office was to be in Los Angeles. Accordingly, they shared an office in New York for a brief period during the late 1920s or early 1930s. The partnership was apparently shortlived but was the basis upon which Smith’s claims of copyright ownership of 20-30 Morton’s compositions were founded. Smith later contested Morton’s will over royalties compositions that Smith claimed were either partly or wholly his own; he also issued claims of copyright infringement to numerous music publishers and recording companies. The County of Los Angeles denied Smith’s claims on the Morton estate but RCA Victor agreed to pay him royalties on various Morton tunes.
Immediate Source of Acquisition

I recall receiving some of the harshest criticism from a leader who also contributed an enormous amount to helping my career. We will all get criticised at times and it is important to consider why you are getting the feedback when you are responding to critics.
Amazing as it may seem not everyone agrees with you. Not everyone likes you. You need to know when and how you can make your point. It is easy to over react when responding to critics and Dan Rockwell provides some guidance. As RBG famously said – “it helps sometimes to be a little deaf..When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken it is best to tune out. Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one’s ability to persuade” Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing”attributed to Aristotle
Reflect Don’t Retaliate
“Arrogance prevents growth, Humility learns and grows”. It is often easiest thing to fire back at someone who has criticised us. The power of reflection might actually uncover what the person was telling you and why.
Seek first to understand the message being delivered before you respond. Is it just critical or was there feedback there? What can you learn from that feedback?
Compliment Don’t Criticise
When you have received tough feedback take the opportunity to appreciate or compliment. For example ‘thank you for the feedback, it is great to understand your perspective’.
Perceive Don’t Pontificate
Critics often spend more time talking about themselves than talking about you. Emmet Fox said, “Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.” Document what you learned about the critic, what are the triggers for criticism and how might you harness that energy for your support in the future.
Fuel Up, Don’t Fall Down
There are always going to be critics, don’t let critics stop you being the best version of you that you can be.
Psychology Today suggests ways to deal with criticism at the time it is being given.
- Recognise your defensiveness – learn to catch yourself before you react. When we are defensive, we are tense and find it hard to listen or absorb new information.
- Breathe – Take slow deep breaths to calm down.
- Listen – only to understand – don’t interrupt, or refute. Save any corrections for a later date.
- Apologies for your part – by taking responsibility for your actions it can defuse the conversation, moving from combat to collaboration.
- Let the critical or angry person know you will continue to think about the conversation – by acknowledging that you are taking the commentary seriously you can move forward even if the issues are not resolved.
- Don’t listen when you can’t – when we are too overwhelmed by emotion or too tired, it is much more sensible to defer to the conversation to a time when you can both focus.
- Speak your own truths – It is likely you will have a different perspective. Often it is better when responding to critics, to leave providing your own truths and perspective to a later point so as to ensure you get a fair hearing.
- Draw the line at insults – While people can explode at times, there is no good from taking a serve of insults. It is better to explain you are keen to work with them to understand the issue but only through mutual respect.

The risk of children around the world being abused and trafficked is growing as more countries, particularly poor ones, impose lockdown measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Limits on movement mean children are more at risk of abuse at home and online, according to separate reports from United Nations and European agencies.
With kids suddenly spending a lot more time online, “sexual offenders are taking advantage of this situation and more children are likely to be groomed online and become victims of sexual extorsion,” the Council of Europe’s George Nikolaidis and Christel De Craim said in a statement.
As governments focus on curing those infected with coronavirus and maintaining law and order, much less attention is paid to the mental and physical well-being of kids. With the number of medical cases appearing to be peaking in places like Italy and Spain, psychologists and other child-care experts want more focus paid on vulnerable children.
Governments should ensure that 24-hour toll-free hotlines, texting services and mobile shelters are fully staffed to ensure kids can report abuse or flee an abusive home, U.N. rapporteur Maud de Boer-Buquicchio said in a report. The risks are even greater in psychiatric and social care institutions, orphanages, refugee camps, immigration detention centers and other closed facilities, where abuse is likely to go undetected, she said.
“As community ties are weakened due to the crisis, we must all remain alert and report any suspected child abuse,” said De Boer-Buquicchio. “We can make sure that children’s dignity and rights are protected and that no child bears the collateral consequences of this unprecedented pandemic.”

5. Wine Facts For Dummies: Anyone can learn the formula for wine tasting.
Wine is first evaluated by sight, then by smell. Sommeliers also make sure the conditions for tasting wine are suitable, so most wine tasting events aren’t loud and full of people. This makes it easier to concentrate and notices the nuances in what you’re tasting.
6. Just because no expiration date exists doesn’t mean your wine can’t become corked.
If you’ve had a bottle of wine at home for a while, you may think it’s OK to drink since wine doesn’t have an expiration date. However, corks can contain chlorides, which are typically found in bleach.
Before consuming your wine, always make sure it doesn’t smell like wet cardboard. If it doesn’t, it hasn’t been tainted.
What are the Health Benefits of Wine?
Just so we’re clear — this is about moderate drinking. Problems with alcoholism are not a part of these stats. There are numerous health benefits of drinking wine, and these are some of them.
7. Drinking moderate amounts of wine reduces your risk of dementia, shows most research since 1977.
(Medical News Today)
Dementia can often lead to Alzheimer’s, and your risk is reduced thanks to a compound called resveratrol. It helps keep blood vessels open and flexible as resveratrol is a natural antioxidant.
However, don’t take this as a green light to drink three or more wine glasses daily, as that will only increase your chances of developing cognitive impairment.
8. Red wine health benefits include improved stomach health.
Polyphenols help create more good bacteria in your stomach, and luckily for you, red wine and grapes are full of them. Not only do polyphenols increase the number of bacteria, but they also work well together to promote gut health.
9. Recent red wine facts indicate that cardiovascular health can be improved with red wine consumption.
Here is where resveratrol comes into play again. Aside from helping your blood vessels, the compound has also been found to lower stroke risk, hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction.
10. Regular wine consumption can lower your risk of incident depression.
Moderation is essential for lowering your risk of depression as much as it is for reducing your risk of other cognitive impairment. If you want to drink wine preventatively, don’t have more than two to seven glasses a week.
Global Wine Industry Statistics
Who produces the wine to fill all those beautiful bottles we encounter on shelves? How was the wine industry affected by the pandemic? These are just some of the questions we’re about to answer.
11. Italy was the worldwide leader in wine exports in 2019 with 21.6 million hectoliters sold.
Spain was in second with 21.3 and France was in third place with 21.3 million hectoliters sold. The US was lower on the list, only exporting 3.6 million hectoliters.
New Zealand, though, had the lowest export rate with only 2.6 million hectoliters.
12. Between the years 2000 and 2019, South Africa produced the most wine in 2014 (1.181.086 gross liters).
In the same period, wine production was lowest in 2001 (746.485). The years 2018 and 2019 are similar to each other, with 960.156 and 973.552 liters produced, respectively. This might indicate stability or growth of the industry, judging by the rest of the production pattern in the 19 years.
13. According to the global wine sales statistics, the US produced 888.58 million gallons of wine in total in 2017 — 716.3 million of that was produced in California.
California wine statistics show that this state has been the leading producer of wine in the US since as far back as 1995 (around 397 million gallons out of about 437 million in total for that year). This might be most noticeable in 2010 when California produced approximately 606 million gallons of wine out of the total 677 million produced.
14. The export value of Italian sparkling wines was the highest in the US between January and July 2020 (193 million euros).
Wine sales statistics put the UK’s export value in second place with a value of 155 million euros. A value of 56 million euros puts Germany in third place. In France, the export value for the same sparkling wines equaled 43 million, while that number was lowest in Russia, amounting only to 18 million euros.
15. The Ukrainian wine production volume was highest in 2016 (1.2 million hectoliters) for the last five years.
2016 notes the only spike from the year prior (0.9 million hectoliters in 2015) in production volume for the last five years. The same wine industry statistics show that years 2017 to 2020 share 1 million hectoliters’ production volume. It should be noted, though, that the data for 2020 is only preliminary.
16. France was the leading importing country for wine in the UK in 2019, with the import value reaching £754.2 million.
This was remarkable because French wines managed to surpass the Italian wine import value from the previous year (£700 million). The value of Italian imports in 2019 was also lower than the same value for the previous year- £684.8 million.
17. Wine Tourism Statistics: Argentina opened a total of 245 wineries for wine tourism in 2017.
Most of the wineries were opened in the Central-West region (165). The North-West region numbered 44 new wine tourism wineries, while the New Wine Regions saw 36 unique wineries.
18. The volume sales of the domestic wine market of white wine equaled 4.426 liters in British Columbia.
The volume sales of red wine for the same period (fourth quarter of 2019/20) weren’t too high behind with 4.369.54 liters. The same data shows that Canadians don’t prefer local Rose as much as white and red wine, as only 302.32 liters were sold in the same period.
Wine Fun Facts for Wine-Lovers
In the end, we give you some trivia info for those of you who are real wine lovers. Or those of you who fear wine. But we guess that you love wine, given that you made it this far into the article.
19. Italy boasts its first wine fountain in the region of Abruzzo.
The Dora Sarchese Vineyard built this wine fountain. Abruzzo is a beautiful region on its own, but now it will appear more to tourists and locals alike as they’ll be able to pour wine for free 24/7.
20. One of the key wine tasting facts tells that the most obvious sign of aging wine is the color change.
(Iowa State University)
White wine becomes golden in color as it ages, but it can turn brown if it’s left to age for too long. Red wine starts with violet and purple tints, which change to brick red and orange as it ages.
21. One of the lesser-known wine facts is that the fear of wine exists; it’s called Oenophobia.
(Let in Wine)
Even though you’ve probably never met someone who has it, this phobia is very much real. People who have it can become irrationally scared when they see wine bottles, spilled wine, or if they come in contact with wine in any way.
22. Ever wonder why it’s called “toasting”? The charred toast was regularly dunked into wine in ancient Rome.
Toasting during meals started to celebrate the health of Emperor Augusts in ancient Rome. We’ve upheld the tradition by toasting someone’s health, but we don’t routinely drop charred toast in our wine anymore. Aside from routine, this was also often done to make the wine taste better.
Why does wine not have nutrition facts?
Though you’d expect to find nutritional facts on a wine bottle, much like on any other food or drink, you won’t because of historical reasons.
The end of the prohibition made many alcoholic drinks and wine fall under TTB’s jurisdiction instead of the FDA’s. The Tobacco Tax Bureau has never required nutrition labels, hence why you won’t see them on wine.
Who buys the most wine?
According to data from 2019, the US buys and consumes the most wine. Americans consumed 33 million hectoliters. Australians are on the opposite end of this list, with only a 5.9 hectoliter consumption for the same year.
Is the wine industry growing?
Despite the current state of the world with Covid, the wine industry is projected to grow by 2027. Right now, the global market has an estimated worth of $326.6 billion, and it’s projected to grow up to $434 billion.
How many types of wine are there?
The wine industry is significant, and there is a type of wine for every palette. The main types are white, rose, and red. Rose can be either fortified or sparkling, and it slides down the most easily during summer. The difference in taste between red and white wines is noticeable reasonably easily, as white wines are citrusy and refreshing, while red wines have a more dark fruit flavor.
How many grapes are in a bottle of wine?
One vine of grapes produces approximately ten bottles of wine. For one bottle, you will need between 400 and 500 grapes.
What is the most popular type of wine?
When it comes to the American population, red wine is the most popular as 69% prefer it. White wine is a close second on the American list of favorites, with 65% choosing it as their drink of choice. Only 55% prefer Rose.
Hopefully, these wine statistics and facts have enlightened you a little. If you aim to be a sophisticated gentleman, you’ll benefit from this knowledge greatly. You’ll know exactly what bottle to choose, and you’ll finally understand all the differences between the types, brands, and prices. | <urn:uuid:72ca822e-2701-4eb5-a541-c8776c6d74cf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://moderngentlemen.net/wine-statistics/ | 2022-01-21T05:21:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.959451 | 2,938 |
This month’s audio and visual highlights.
Vancouver has doubled up as the thick forests of Maine in fantasy drama Once Upon A Time and a zombie-filled Los Angeles in Fear The Walking Dead, while Toronto is often the location for TV series set in New York.
Although Canada has long been used to film glossy US dramas, its own TV sector is scaling up its ambition to produce its own edgy thrillers to compete on a global level. Commercial broadcasters CTV and Global lead in the ratings and although both acquire and simulcast a slew of US series, the battle for Canadian eyeballs is increasingly focused around original content.
The influence of Scandinavian dramas such as Forbrydelsen (The Killing) and Bron (The Bridge) is rubbing off on CTV: one of the network’s priorities for next year is The Disappearance, a dark drama centred around a 10-year- old who vanishes on his birthday during a treasure hunt. The series, filmed in Montréal, is the first English-language series produced by Productions Casablanca. Meanwhile Global, owned by Corus Entertainment, is banking on Ransom (see below) and Mary Kills People, following Dr Mary Harris, an angel of death to terminally ill patients.
Public broadcaster CBC, which airs over 90 per cent local content compared to about 40 per cent for the commercial networks, also has a number of edgy titles on its slate. The Council is a Fortitude-meets-Trapped-style Arctic crime drama that tracks the ritualistic murder of an environmentalist near the Canadian hamlet of Resolute, while Caught, an adaptation of Lisa Moore’s novel, is a six-part drug-smuggling drama set in Nova Scotia and Latin America.
However, it’s not all edgy up north. The public broadcaster has also committed to two more instalments of family period drama Anne of Green Gables starring Martin Sheen.
Alias Grace: Netflix has partnered with CBC for this adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel. The six-part series stars 11.22.63’s Sarah Gadon as a domestic servant convicted of murdering her employers in 1843.
Ransom: Global is developing this drama based on the life of renowned crisis negotiator Laurent Combalbert. Game of Thrones’ Luke Roberts leads a team, including a hacker, a therapist and a black belt, handling international crises.
Studio Bell, the new home of the National Music Centre, functions as a museum, education centre and concert venue and is dedicated to telling Canada’s music story. “We hope to not only preserve and celebrate music in Canada but also instigate its future,” says president and CEO Andrew Mosker. The complex consists of nine interlocking towers and has five levels housing studios, broadcast facilities and a 300-seat concert hall. The building has open spaces and lookouts throughout and was inspired by the shape of instruments.
From stage-left enters an unusual piece of Canadian engineering, dreamt up and developed by none other than the sometime digital refusenik, full-time genius Neil Young. The PonoPlayer is a high-resolution, distortion-free digital-music device shaped, tantalisingly, like a miniature bar of Toblerone. Plus, according to Young, “It’s the same as the iPod but sounds like God.”
In our own test at Monocle headquarters it made Muddy Waters sound like he was alive and well and playing live between our ears, allowed Jenny Hval to sound even more ghostly beautiful than usual and Young himself sound like, well, his own surname. It comes with all the usual inputs and gear for the future and also, beautifully, buttons. And did we mention that it sounds like God?
Based in Toronto, Frontier magazine is a celebration of the fearless bravado that every entrepreneur must possess. Founder Paddy Harrington also runs a design studio that helps nascent companies establish their brand identity.
Why the focus on entrepreneurial risk-taking?
We believe that the world needs more creative risk-takers. We’ve all had the experience of believing passionately in something but being put off by the fear that comes from job insecurity and financial worries. But it’s often more risky not to take a risk. We want to share the stories of people who have taken this step and then hopefully inspire others to take a risk of their own.
You have a design studio and a ventures group supporting start-ups. Why the need to start your own magazine?
The magazine is how we explore the world of design and creativity and learn more about people and projects we admire. It’s also us putting our money where our mouth is: starting a magazine from scratch is no easy business. We believe in it enough to keep making it better.
How do you choose which stories to feature?
It can get tricky because sometimes our clients have stories that excite us but there’s a risk of crossing the line between editorial integrity and advertising. But we work with people that we admire and if they happen to have a story worth sharing, we tell it. And since we’re all designers, strategists and writers we have an inside track on many great stories because we’re passionate about our subject. | <urn:uuid:846b1d97-ee59-4261-93c8-6dca432efdb9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://monocle.com/magazine/issues/98/media/ | 2022-01-21T05:54:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.9499 | 1,116 |

In prep for today’s (or next week’s) Criterion announcements, I was going through names associated with the films on my Criterion Wish List to search for possible phantom pages on the official Criterion web site. I was searching through, mostly struck out, until….
I noticed Faye Dunaway has one. Of course Faye Dunaway has a terrific career associated with many great films, so that wasn’t a sure thing. But then I searched for and discovered a phantom page for Diana Scarwid (the actress who plays Christina Crawford as an adult). And then Steve Forrest (who plays Joan’s boyfriend Greg) plus the film’s director Frank Perry.
From these, it seems pretty clear that Mommie Dearest is coming to the Criterion Collection. It might not necessarily be this month’s announcements (there’s tons of phantom pages swirling around) but there must be plans to release it eventually.
A few have commented that it’s a bad fit for the Collection, that it doesn’t qualify, etc. I’m too young to have been around when it was first released in theaters, but as a millennial I can first-hand vouch for the cult phenomenon that this film has evolved into. It’s not quite Rocky Horror status but you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know of the famous “wire hangers” scene, not to mention the countless quotable oddities the film offers (“Tina!… Bring me the axe!” “Don’t f*** with me, fellas!” to name a few).
Mommie Dearest, on its own merits, is not really a work of art or groundbreaking filmmaking. But the way audiences have embraced it and turned it into a riotous comedy, and even inspired live stage shows and countless drag performances, it certainly has become an “important” film – not on its own terms, but through its legacy. | <urn:uuid:1ede6e9f-f13c-4a15-b436-d25c93e78e58> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://popculturepundit.wordpress.com/2016/01/15/mommie-dearest-going-criterion/ | 2022-01-21T05:29:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.96006 | 436 |

“ On the recommendation of our friends, we approached PPHS to do several jobs for us on our newly acquired house, which needed much updating.

Bragr Live at Engelsholm Castle
Go' Danish Folk
Review by Chris Nickson
Live albums can create and cement an artist’s reputation. When they manage to fully capture the intense, sweaty atmosphere of a gig, they’re electrifying, as James Brown discovered decades ago. While the audience can make a live disc with their energy, sometimes their enthusiasm can be go over top – as it does here with the clapping out of time that opens this album from the Danish/Swedish quarter Bragr.
It’s unfortunate, but once it passes, the music really takes over and soars. It’s certainly an ambitious gesture to record a live concert for your second release, but musically it pays off handsomely. Their debut was as a trio of fretless acoustic bass, percussion, and nyckelharpa/cister (a six-string lute). Since then they’ve added pianist Kristian Bisgaard, who proves an idea foil for Perry Stenbäck’s strings (and he is a master, highly in-demand as a guitarist and voted Musician of the Year in last year’s Danish Music Awards). It gives the band more texture, and they have more instruments that can take the lead individually or play off each other.
Hearing them live, it quickly becomes apparent that Bragr are actually jazz musicians in folk clothing. They use the largely original compositions as springboards for improvisation, as with “Dovretollet,” where the music spirals, dancing so far on the edge that it almost comes apart, before gathering itself to swoop back down.
There’s a great deal of delicacy here, too, and some genuinely surprising touches, like the overtone singing from bassist Jesper Frost Bylling that adds delicious filigree to “Trall/Kong Humble,” with Bisgaard and percussionist Christine Dueholm handling the vocals.
"Hommage Til En Spelman"
The members all have some background in folk music, making it the starting point and giving them the restraint to do justice to a tune like “Hommage Til En Spelman” without the need to add more.
Throughout, the mood crackles, and they all perform out of their skins, nigh on perfect; the gamble of recording a live album definitely pays off; the freedom of a gig truly suits them. It’s when they can cut loose, even on a slow piece like “Gladlåten” and let themselves break out from being folk into the jazz that’s at their heart (with some very tasty cister playing) that it becomes superbly distinctive.
And they do indulge the crowd with "Hornfiffen," a hornpipe that keeps pushing faster, and gives solo space to the players; it's just a shame there's no mute button for an audience clapping out of time again. At least, by the breakneck ending, with Stenbäck forcing the pace all the way to breakneck, they can't keep up – but they do, justly, demand an encore, and the softness of "Vintertur" sends everyone home happy.
The music is wonderful. It lifts the heart.

Every year, when I travel to all-star games, I get to talk to the people that make up the business. Scouts, agents, financial planners, trainers, players and their parents — they all have different perspectives on the game. That’s part of what makes football so fascinating.
Here are a few things I found of interest this week:
- I had a long talk with a scout who’s been in the game for more than 30 years. In the course of our talks on the business of player evaluation, he talked about how busy he is from August to November, and how, even when he’s home on the weekends, he’s mainly finishing up reports. He told me the secret to driving four hours after a full day of work (without falling asleep) is to adjust your seat so the backrest is at a right angle to the seat. It’s not so comfortable, but it keeps you alert. Makes sense to me.
- He also said his ‘laundromat’ during a two-week trip is usually the hotel sink. So let’s see: 12-hour days followed by four-hour drives; washing your undies in the sink; and staying so sleepy that you have to drive bolt upright in your seat. Still want to be a scout?
- One school that takes agent registration, prospect education, and the selection process very seriously threatened to bar one of its players from its pro day when he signed with a contract advisor who’s not registered with the school. I’m not sure if I’m in favor of that, but I do know that if all schools had that policy, and followed through with it, the recruiting process would be a lot more orderly.
- I’ve always been a guy who believes teams should cover every all-star game of every stripe, no matter how low on the food chain. They should also make sure they’re keeping tabs on all the other leagues, like the CFL, Arena League, etc. However, I had an interesting conversation with a scout this week who disagreed. He looks at a scouting department as a tablecloth that’s a little too small. You have to make sure the biggest part of the tablecloth is covering the key parts of the ‘table’ (mainly the FBS teams and the better FCS teams), and accept that there may be a few crumbs left here and there. You have to play the odds, basically. Even when you’re an NFL team with 10-12 area scouts. There’s just too many players.
- We had one more (friendly) disagreement. He likes the idea of the Pacific Pro Football League, and thinks it will attract a number of talented players that have no interest in attending school and who are willing to spend their three post-high school, pre-NFL eligibility years making $50,000 per year. My feeling is that most players worth considering for such a league will still see colleges as their best path to NFL riches, even if it means they’re essentially indentured servants for three years.
Those are the highlights from Week 1. More next week. | <urn:uuid:124b0c52-124f-44e5-bd72-3936ac8f994a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://succeedinfootball.com/2017/01/13/notes-from-the-road/ | 2022-01-21T05:13:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.981404 | 664 |
For some players, January is the perfect time to seek a loan move after warming the bench all season.
Disgruntled or fed-up footballers will look to start afresh this month and use the rest of the campaign to get back up to speed with some playing time in another environment.
And this month has already been busy, with Jermain Defoe leaving Bournemouth to join Steven Gerrard’s Rangers on a temporary basis, as well as Jason Puncheon hopping from Crystal Palace to Huddersfield until the end of the season.
But there are still many who could move elsewhere – below, talkSPORT.com looks at a player from each of the 20 Premier League clubs who needs a loan move to reinvigorate their campaign…
Latest Football News
Arsenal – Eddie Nketiah
The 19-year-old broke through the ranks under Arsene Wenger in the cup tournaments but has found his playing time limited by Unai Emery.
Having made just a solitary appearance in the Premier League as substitute, a move away for the youngster could be beneficial for both parties.
Arsenal fans will tell you the striker has bags of potential but he will not be displacing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette any time soon.
Bournemouth – Jordan Ibe
The Cherries winger was once hailed as a player with bags of potential when breaking onto the scene at Liverpool.
However, he was sold to Bournemouth and his career hasn’t taken off as expected on the south coast.
He is playing second fiddle to Ryan Fraser and Josh King, and a loan move away would be best for the former Wycombe Wanderers player to remind Eddie Howe of his talent.
Ibe has made just nine league appearances this season.
Brighton – Bruno
The Seagulls skipper has been a brilliant servant to the club, making 219 league appearances for the south coast outfit and captaining them in their promotion to the Premier League.
However, at the age of 38, Hughton has started to restrict his appearances in the first team.
His age seems to be catching up with him with little injuries cropping up in recent months.
A loan move away could be beneficial for the defender before calling it a day on a long career, although after making his name as a legend for the club he will likely see out his contract.
Burnley – Joe Hart
The goalkeeper seemingly got his career back on track at the start of this season after sealing a permanent move away to Burnley in the summer.
But after a poor run of games and the return of Tom Heaton from injury, Hart has once again found himself surplus to requirements at his club.
The former England shot-stopper looks to have past his best, but could seek one final move away in the hope of having one more shot at regaining some good form.
Burnley’s Championship neighbours Preston are reportedly offering Hart a Turf Moor escape route until the end of the season.
Cardiff – Lee Peltier
The defender has made 120 league appearances for the Bluebells but this season he has found himself on the sidelines for Neil Warnock’s side – having made just six appearances.
Centre-backs Sean Morrison and Sol Bamba has seen Peltier’s minutes limited and he may wish to move away to get some regular playing time.
At 32, he could be a useful player at the back for a Championship side with the experience he possesses.
Chelsea – Davide Zappacosta
The Italian full-back signed for Antonio Conte’s Chelsea in 2017 for £23million from Italian side Torino but has failed to break into the starting XI for the west London side.
Having made just 24 appearances for the Blues in almost two years, a loan move away could be best for the Italian in order to get regular playing time as he reaches the peak years in his career.
He was not even in Maurizio Sarri’s matchday squad against Newcastle on Saturday and must seek a loan to prove his worth to his new manager.
Crystal Palace – Joel Ward
The right-back had been a regular for the Eagles since their Premier League journey began in 2013.
But the emergence of rising star Aaron Wan-Bissaka has restricted the full-back to just two Premier League appearances this term.
The right-back signed a new three-and-a-half deal at Selhurst Park but will want more game time.
At the age of 29, a move away could be beneficial for the Englishman rather than sitting on the bench for Roy Hodgson’s side.
Everton – Oumar Niasse
The Senegalese striker is reportedly keen on a move away from Goodison Park.
Cardiff City are reportedly interested in signing Niasse and he is also attracting interested abroad from Turkey, with Galatasaray willing to take him on loan.
Niasse has proven he can score goals in the top flight after netting eight times last season, but he has struggled this term having not scored in his six appearances.
Fulham – Marcus Bettinelli
Bettinelli earned an England call-up earlier this season but his fortunes have changed since then.
The keeper was instrumental in the Cottagers’ promotion to the top flight last season but has found himself replaced by summer recruit Sergio Rico since Claudio Ranieri took over.
At just 26, Bettinelli will need regular game time if he is to be rewarded with another Three Lions call-up and there will be many takers for the shot-stopper.
Huddersfield – Tommy Smith
Terriers boss David Wagner preferred Florent Hadergjonaj on the right side of his defence last season and this has not changed this term.
Smith has made just four league outings so far this season and should now seek a move away after spending a season-and-a-half as a back-up.
After captaining Huddersfield to promotion, many lower league clubs will be interested in his signature.
Leicester – Adrien Silva
The Portuguese midfielder joined Leicester 16 months ago for the healthy sum of £25million – but his Foxes tenure got off to the worst possible start when his registration was withheld after missing the transfer deadline by 14 seconds.
Since then it hasn’t got much better for the playmaker, who has only made 20 appearances in almost a year and half with the club, and it has been reported he could be on his way back to Sorting Lisbon this month.
Turkish side Fenerbache are also said to be interested in Silva.
Liverpool – Alberto Moreno
Since Andrew Robertson’s arrival from Hull City Alberto Moreno has found himself regularly warming the bench for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The Spaniard has made just two Premier League appearances and last month he hit at out at his coach for not playing him at all after his ankle injury.
The left-back reportedly has several offers to leave the Reds permanently, including back to Sevilla, but Klopp is unlikely to sell him permanently with no direct replacement for Robertson.
Manchester City – Phil Foden
Although Foden has undoubtedly had his playing time increased by Pep Guardiola this season, and in recent matches scored his first goals for the club, a move away on loan could really aid the youngster.
As seen by Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson’s success abroad, the teenager could seek a move away with many top European clubs keen to bring him in.
He has featured in eight league games this season but did not make their starting XI in the 9-0 victory against Burton – a game he really could have started.
After extending his City deal until 2024, a loan move could help Foden’s development significantly.
Manchester United – Andreas Pereira
The Brazilian midfielder has been with the Red Devils since 2014 but has struggled to break into the first team.
He has been on two loans with Granada and Valencia and had reasonable success in both of them.
But he is not in Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s starting plans and did not impress in Man United’s 2-0 FA Cup victory over Reading.
Newcastle – Jacob Murphy
Unlike his brother, Josh, at Cardiff, Murphy has struggled to adapt to life with the Magpies.
Rafael Benitez signed the winger from Norwich in 2017 for £13million and there was excitement over his arrival.
But he has failed to make an impression for the Tyneside club having scored just once in 34 top-flight appearances.
Southampton – Mohamed Elyounoussi
Saints fans have been a little disappointed with their summer recruit, who signed from Basel for £16million by Mark Hughes.
The Norweigan winger has made 12 Premier League appearances and failed to record a goal or an assist so far this season.
He also seems to be out of favour with Ralph Hasenhuttl, and could be moved out on loan this month after his unsuccessful spell.
Tottenham – Vincent Janssen
The Dutch striker has struggled with injury this term but recently stunned Spurs fans with an appearance for the Under-23s as they thought he had left the club.
The forward was signed from AZ Alkmaar and was seen as a player with a lot of pedigree after winning the Golden Boot in the Eredivisie.
However, he is not in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans and could be a handy loan acquisition for a relegation struggler for the rest of the season.
Watford – Heurelho Gomes
The former Spurs keeper was a regular last season but was eventually replaced by Orestis Karneziz in the second half of the campaign.
Ben Foster has now become Watford’s No.1 and has been standout performer for the Hornets.
A loan move away for the Brazilian could be a good way for Gomes to have one last go as a club’s No.1 as he reaches the end of his career.
West Ham – Adrian
The keeper has been playing second-fiddle at the London Stadium since the arrival of Lukasz Fabianksi from Swansea.
Fabianski has been brilliant between the sticks for the Hammers and Adrian has a monumental task to displace the Pole.
The Spaniard has shown glimpses of quality with West Ham and should seek a loan move as he is now 32-years-old and needs regular game time.
Wolves – Leo Bonatini
The Brazilian striker was a key member of Nuno’s squad in their promotion last season, notching up 12 goals as Wolves topped the Championship.
But he has had his playing time cut with the arrival of Raul Jimenez, who has been lethal in front of goal this season.
Bonatini hasn’t started a league game this term and he’ll undoubtedly be a target for many a Championship club as a proven goalscorer in that league. | <urn:uuid:aabf2159-6b94-43eb-8a9e-128a4b0baefd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://talksport.com/football/473445/premier-league-january-loan-transfer-move-tottenham-liverpool-manchester-united/ | 2022-01-21T06:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.979956 | 2,306 |
RAID in Cloud Website Hosting
The SSD drives that our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform uses for storage function in RAID-Z. This type of RAID is developed to work with the ZFS file system that runs on the platform and it uses the so-called parity disk - a specific drive where information kept on the other drives is copied with an additional bit added to it. In the event that one of the disks stops working, your websites will continue working from the other ones and after we replace the problematic one, the information which will be copied on it will be recovered from what is stored on the rest of the drives along with the data from the parity disk. This is performed in order to be able to recalculate the elements of every file correctly and to confirm the integrity of the info copied on the new drive. This is an additional level of security for the information which you upload to your cloud website hosting account together with the ZFS file system which compares a special digital fingerprint for each file on all of the drives in real time.
RAID in Semi-dedicated Servers
The SSD drives which are used for keeping any website content uploaded to the semi-dedicated server accounts which we provide work in RAID-Z. This is a specific setup where one or more hard drives are employed for parity i.e. the system will add an additional bit to any data cloned on this kind of a drive. In case that a disk fails and is substituted with another one, what information will be copied on the latter will be a combination calculated between the data on the other disks and that on the parity one. This is done to make sure that the info on the new drive will be accurate. During the procedure, the RAID will continue functioning normally and the faulty drive won't have an effect on the normal operation of your Internet sites by any means. Using SSDs in RAID-Z is a great addition to the ZFS file system which runs on our top-notch cloud platform with regards to preserving the integrity of your files as ZFS uses special digital identifiers referred to as checksums to prevent silent data corruption.
RAID in VPS Servers
All VPS server accounts which our company provides are created on physical servers that use SSD drives working in RAID. At least one drive is employed for parity - one additional bit is added to the data duplicated on it and in case a main disk breaks down, this bit makes it easier to recalculate the bits of the files on the damaged drive so that the right data is restored on the new drive included in the RAID. In the mean time, your Internet sites will stay online as all the data will still load from at least one more drive. In the event that you add regular backups to your VPS package, a copy of the data will be saved on standard disk drives that also function in RAID since we would like to make sure that any type of content you add will be protected all of the time. Employing multiple hard disks in RAID for all of the main and backup servers enables us to offer fast and reliable web hosting service. | <urn:uuid:7f88ee6f-2c86-405c-b65e-bbb693096cc8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://the-commongood.com/definitions/raid/ | 2022-01-21T05:18:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.950963 | 631 |

Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun. – Jim Bishop
I don’t think I have the temperament for golf. The pace of the game is too slow except when it’s your shot. Then everyone else seems to become impatient. Take my annual game at Glen Abbey this past month. I was the guest of my friend, Tom. We were on the fairway of the eleventh hole, not far from each other. To make par, the next shot would have to clear Sixteen Mile Creek which carves the fairway into two parts. The green looked tiny from where we were standing. Tom used a 7-iron and made a perfect shot to the back of the green, just short of a row of tall red maple trees behind the hole. I pull out my 7-iron out of his bag. Tom did warn me “You’re going to be short and land in the water.”
I ignored him. I wanted to make the same perfect shot and sure enough, the ball didn’t carry far enough. It hit the bank on the far side of the creek and bounced back into the murky water. I just stood there staring at the creek with a pained look on my face. If only that damn greedy creek would spit my ball onto the green. Tom tried to console me and patted me on the shoulder. “Just drop your ball on the green.” I ignored him again and dropped a new ball on the fairway, right in front of the creek. I decided to use my 9-iron and chip it over the water. Unfortunately, I swung too hard and the ball sailed past the green. I could hear it make a rustling sound as it passed through the dense group of maple trees and then it disappeared for good. I slammed my club on the ground. It bounced off the spongy turf, pulled out of my hands and landed in the creek. I stared in disbelief at the hideous brown water that had swallowed my $130 custom-fitted club.
My frustration continued. On the thirteenth, I overshoot the green and my ball landed right next to the green on the sixteenth hole. I drove the cart over to the ball and got to make my next shot. I glanced behind me and saw only an empty fairway and blue sky. As I begun my back swing, I heard a thunk as a ball bounces off my cart. I turned around and yelled. “Hey asshole! You’re supposed to yell fore!”
A middle-aged man pulled up in a cart. “I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t see you there. Are you alright?”
“You almost hit me. You probably drive your car as bad as you drive golf balls.” Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have said it but I was pissed.
“I beg your pardon? You know you are a jerk.”
The other golfer approached me with an iron in his hand. His face was as red as a rare piece of meat.
I had to defend myself so I grabbed my oversized driver for protection. “Horseshit. What do you know about being Canadian? My family’s been in Canada for over a hundred years.” Both of us were eyeing the other and waving our clubs in the air.
Fortunately, Tom arrived just in time to prevent a modern version of jousting from breaking out. He pulled us apart and dragged me back to the cart.
By the eighteenth hole, I was a broken man. The hole was a short par five and I was tempted to try to get on the green in two shots but there was a water hazard the size of a lake in front of the green and large bunkers behind it. As I lined up my second shot, I remembered how in the 2000 Canadian Open, Tiger Woods had made an incredible 218-yard, 6-iron shot from a fairway bunker over the water and onto the back fringe of the green. I sighed. I’m no Tiger. I took aim for the front of the water acknowledging that making par would at least allow me to finish the day with some dignity.
Tom finished the day with a respectable eighty-eight on what is a challenging course. I finished with a score over a hundred, and a bag that was considerably lighter with a 9-iron at the bottom of the creek, a bent driver left at the fourteenth and eleven balls sucked up by the water hazards and the trees. | <urn:uuid:b880c1b9-e66c-4c19-9302-c18c04c87351> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://williehandler.com/2016/07/11/the-game-i-love-to-hate/ | 2022-01-21T06:15:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.975599 | 950 |
Wonderspaces Adds Three New Installations in Time for Their Summer Season!
Wonderspaces Philadelphia (27 N 11th St.) announces the debut of three new installations coming to the Philadelphia Fashion District just in time for summer. Starting Wednesday, June 30th, Wonderspaces welcomes Our Top 100 by Jody Servon, Erupture by Nicole Banowetz, and Micromonumental Mapping: The Essence of Creation by Limelight. The new exhibits join other recent additions and continuing installations, such as Submergence by Squidsoup, Body Paint by Memo Akten and Thank You Bags by Reed van Brunschot. Wonderspaces continues to be a unique, interactive and socially distanced activity for locals, neighbors and visitors in the heart of Center City.
Wonderspaces is currently operating at reduced capacity, making the experience even more personal and intimate. Timed with the launch of these new installations, Wonderspaces will expand capacity to 20 people per every fifteen minutes. Masks are required for all visitors who are not fully vaccinated. Hours are Wednesdays to Fridays from 4:00pm to 10:00pm, Saturdays from 10:00am to 10:00pm, and Sundays from 10:00am to 9:00pm. Wonderspaces is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Tickets for timed slots are on sale now at philadelphia.wonderspaces.com/
“Wonderspaces Philadelphia continues to bring extraordinary work by international artists to the city of Philadelphia,” said General Manager Jenn McCreary. “Our goal is to continuously evolve our experience and gallery. What the evolution looks like is shaped by our local Philadelphia team and it is based on the feedback we get from the community members who are attending the show each and every day. We plan to continue the evolution as we move through our second year, with additional new pieces coming later this summer and fall.”
After a members-only preview, Wonderspaces officially launches the three new installations starting on Wednesday, June 30th. The additions come just as Center City Philadelphia continues to fully open after the easing of restrictions. This is the third time Wonderspaces has introduced several new works to its 24,000 square foot permanent Philadelphia home.
Our Top 100 by Jody Servon is a community-built playlist consisting of songs and memories about songs shared by participants in specific cities and towns. People have shared stories of love, loss, travels, sadness, celebrations, families, and much more. In both physical places and through social media, Servon aims to provide opportunities for people to consider their memories, experiences, and surroundings and hopefully enhance their human experience.
Servon said, “My projects rely on the participation of others. Behind each image, object and handwritten notation is the voice of a person sharing something personal about themselves. Although inspired by my experiences, my works are collections of personal histories shared by others. In my socially engaged projects, I provide prompts for people to respond to in a variety of ways. Their responses range from recalling a memory attached to a song to sharing a photograph and text about an object that they have saved from a deceased loved one.”
For Erupture, artist Nicole Banowetz created a giant inflatable sculpture that depicts a surreal landscape of microscopic lifeforms. Their enlarged presence makes the installation feel calm, comforting, yet disorienting. The arrangement of these inflatables recalls dioramas from biology class, with large groupings of these odd forms bursting at delicate seams. The artist, Nicole Banowetz sewed the work entirely by hand, sharing the vulnerability between the artist, viewer, and the installation as a whole.
“We are thrilled to add Erupture to our current lineup of work currently on view in Philadelphia,” said McCreay. “Erupture is part of a series of massive inflatable sculptures which represent microscopic lifeforms in a macroscopic way. Denver-based artist Nicole Banowetz sewed the work entirely by hand while navigating through a breakup, and has created an unexpectedly intimate environment for visitors to experience through sight and touch.”
Micromonumetal Mapping: The Essence of Creation by Limelight was originally created to be displayed on the Opéra de Lille in France for the Lille Video Mapping Festival that was set to take place in April 2020. Due to COVID 19, the festival had to be postponed so the artists decided to downscale and project it onto a 1:40 3D model of the building. Inspired by the national divinity of the Greeks’ Apollo, who has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, war and death, the artwork conveys this complexity by using the symbolic and physical elements of the building.
Limelight said, “If we can’t make it big, we’ll go micro. We were commissioned to create an artwork for the Lille Video Mapping Festival. Despite the event being cancelled, we are determined to show the world our artwork, so we decided to downscale and project it onto a 1:40 3D model of the building. We believe in the transformative power of art, and that our souls need it now more than ever. We are here to stay.” | <urn:uuid:2e4ec225-a3fd-43a7-80d3-902d6da76115> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://wooderice.com/wonderspaces-adds-three-new-installations-in-time-for-their-summer-season/ | 2022-01-21T05:18:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.955305 | 1,109 |
- Ed Carpenter Racing will enter Iowa Speedway this weekend as the defending race winning team, returning with the goal of making it two in a row in Newton, Iowa. After a commanding victory in 2016 and a successful test at the .875-mile oval last week, drivers Ed Carpenter and JR Hildebrand are hopeful for a repeat of the team’s result from last year.
- In a dominating performance, Josef Newgarden made it look easy as he secured the win for Ed Carpenter Racing in the 2016 Iowa Corn 300. Newgarden led 282 of the 300 laps, taking the lead on Lap 1 and relinquishing it only for green flag pit stops. It was ECR’s seventh victory since being formed only five years prior.
- One week ahead of last year’s race, Hildebrand tested the No. 21 Fuzzy’s Vodka Chevrolet at Iowa Speedway for Newgarden. Hildebrand’s assistance allowed Newgarden extra time to recover from injuries sustained in a crash at Texas Motor Speedway less than a month before. Stepping back into the No. 21 for the race weekend, Newgarden cruised to his first oval track win after utilizing a set up refined by Hildebrand during the test.
- Team owner Carpenter qualified 7th for last year’s Iowa Corn 300. He was comfortably running in the same position when he was unable to get the car into gear following a routine pit stop on Lap 119. The No. 20 Fuzzy’s Vodka crew changed the entire gear stack and Carpenter was able to continue, but was relegated to an 18th place finish.
- Carpenter has competed in all but one Verizon IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway, with nine total starts to date. Four of Carpenter’s last five races at Iowa Speedway have concluded in Top 10 finishes, the exception a consequence of last year’s gear stack change. His highest result occurred in 2013, when he finished 4th after qualifying in the same position.
- Hildebrand has only competed at Iowa Speedway twice in an Indy car, most recently in 2012. Hildebrand’s best start and finish at Iowa is also 4th, his results from 2011. In addition to running on the tri-oval in last year’s test, Hildebrand also turned laps alongside Carpenter during a team test last week on Tuesday, June 27.
- While road and street course driver Spencer Pigot competed with Hildebrand for ECR in the latest event at Road America, Carpenter’s most recent race was at Texas Motor Speedway on June 10. Both Carpenter and Hildebrand were collected in a seven-car accident on Lap 152 of 248. With neither car damaged beyond repair, the No. 20 and No. 21 crews worked feverishly to fix both Chevrolets. Because of the attrition on track, by resuming the race Carpenter earned an 11th place result while Hildebrand finished 12th.
- This season, Hildebrand’s best finish to date occurred late April at the first short oval race of the year. He was a part of a podium celebration for the first time in his Verizon IndyCar Series career with his third place finish at Phoenix Raceway. During the same event, Carpenter gained more positions than any other driver in the field, finishing 7th after starting 21st.
- NBC Sports Network will carry coverage of the 2017 Iowa Corn 300. Qualifying will be air live from 3-4:30 pm ET on Saturday, July 8. The race will also be broadcast live, beginning at 5 pm ET on Sunday, July 9.
ED CARPENTER (No. 20 Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka Chevrolet): “I am always excited to race at Iowa Speedway and be a part of the Iowa Corn 300! It has been a track where I have always been comfortable and enjoyed racing. It is an important race for us as we won the race as a team last year and we hope to repeat that feat in front of our Fuzzy’s Vodka fans!”
JR HILDEBRAND (No. 21 Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka Chevrolet): “I am really looking forward to getting back to Iowa Speedway where we expect to have a strong weekend. I’ve always enjoyed it there and feel like I have a pretty good handle on it, so I’m very ready to get on track and get to work with the Fuzzy’s Vodka 21 car guys.”

For us at Baba+Boo our community is everything. From our amazing cloth bum mums and dads to the makers who sew our nappies, we’re proud to be surrounded by such an amazing bunch. Our community is what makes us, so whenever we get the chance to give back, we grab it with both hands.
We’ve worked hard to find a manufacturer who shares our values and ethos and it’s vital to us that our nappies are created by happy hands. We know how important festivals are in Chinese culture, so when we knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming up, we took this opportunity to celebrate too. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of the moon being at its brightest and fullest in the sky which coincides with the Autumn harvest. We heard from Fred, our manufacturer, that this is a time of huge importance for his workers, and a time when they can come together with their families in celebration.
Traditionally, mooncakes are eaten and lanterns are used to symbolise prosperity and good luck. We wanted to show our manufacturing team just how much we value them, so we arranged with Fred to gift every one of his employees a special box of mooncakes.
We were so moved by the photos they sent back and it was incredible to see how a small token could have such a lovely impact.
Here are a few words from our Fred:
"I'm really touched! First of all, on behalf of all our makers, I would like to express my most sincere thanks and blessings to you. Thank you very much for your care for all the workers in our factory, including their families. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival after the Chinese New Year. This day happens to be the night of the full moon, and the Chinese take this to symbolize the membership and integrity of the family. Therefore, it is usually on this day that the family gather together to enjoy the food and feel the warmth of home.
“I have distributed the gift moon cakes to everyone in our team. I translated and printed your words onto the colourful papers and put them into the envelopes. I must say thank you again! Our workers are very very happy! The sister who took the photos was even moved to tears. Everyone was clapping at when she read "We are so grateful to you for your hard work."
We’re so grateful for our manufacturing team and we can’t thank them enough for all their hard work and their dedication to create products that are kind to our planet. | <urn:uuid:7ccaee00-f04f-46e5-80fd-51ac170d7aeb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.babaandboo.com/blogs/news/a-gift-for-our-amazing-manufacturers | 2022-01-21T04:53:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.978997 | 534 |

HARTFORD, Conn. (Oct. 4, 2021) – Eminet Abebe Gurganus is joining the Connecticut Health Foundation as director of grantmaking, bringing years of experience working to advance equity in children’s health.
Before joining the foundation, Gurganus served as a health policy associate at the Child Health and Development Institute of Connecticut, where she took part in efforts to improve pediatric care and early childhood services. Her work included co-leading efforts to advocate for pediatric primary care payment reform.
Gurganus also held several roles at the Office for Community Child Health at Connecticut Children’s, where she conceptualized and implemented community health projects in response to gaps in the child health system and directed a quality improvement program for pediatric care providers.
Gurganus has Bachelor of Arts and Master of Public Health degrees from Yale University and is a PhD candidate in human development and family sciences at the University of Connecticut.
“Eminet is a phenomenal addition to our team,” said Tiffany Donelson, president and CEO of the Connecticut Health Foundation. “She brings expertise in health systems and how they can better meet the needs of families. The insights she gained from developing and implementing programs, coupled with her strong commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of people of color across our state, will be enormously valuable to our grantmaking work.”
“I have long admired the Connecticut Health Foundation’s strategic, data-driven, and collaborative approach to advancing health equity through systems change,” Gurganus said. “This work is of deep personal importance to me, and I am excited to join the team and contribute my skills to the pursuit of a healthier future for all Connecticut residents.”
Gurganus’ first day at the foundation is Monday, Oct. 4. | <urn:uuid:612377a9-56df-4576-b190-b88c2599b44f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.cthealth.org/latest-news/news-releases/eminet-abebe-gurganus-joins-chf/ | 2022-01-21T04:22:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.960757 | 377 |

Surfing world mourns loss of Aussie star John Shimooka, found dead at 51
Kelly Slater has led countless tributes to former world No. 19 John Shimooka, who was found dead on Monday morning.
The surfing community has paid tribute to former world No. 19 John Shimooka, who was found dead in his Sutherland Shire home on Monday morning.
He had recently turned 51.
Originally from Hawaii, Shimooka won a tour event in Japan in 1995 and was runner-up to American surfing icon Sunny Garcia at Bells that same year.
As reported by The Daily Telegraph, he moved to Cronulla in 1999 and has worked for Surfing NSW as a general manager of partnerships since 2018.

Shimooka’s wife tragically passed away in 2019, and the couple leaves behind 21-year-old son Brandon.
The WSL is saddened to learn of the passing of John Shimooka. A former CT surfer, industry executive, commentator, and coach, he made a major impact on the surfing world. Our hearts are with his family and friends. RIP John (1969 - 2020). pic.twitter.com/GgYzQcbYQG— World Surf League (@wsl) November 16, 2020
Surfing NSW announced Shimooka’s passing on their Instagram page.
“The team at Surfing NSW is deeply distressed at the passing of one of our own, John Shimooka, in the early hours of Monday morning,’’ the statement said.
“A talented former world tour surfer, commentator and Jiu Jitsu black belt, ‘Shmoo’ was a much loved member of the global surfing community and the Surfing NSW family.
“He will be remembered for his passion for the lifestyle as well as his energy and enthusiasm.
“Everyone in our organisation joins his son, Brandon, immediate family, and his extended worldwide network of friends, in grieving his loss.
“It is our saddest day.
“We will commemorate and celebrate John’s life in the days and weeks to come.’’
American surfing great Kelly Slater posted an image of himself alongside a smiling Shimooka to his Instagram.
“My heart’s ripped out. I’m sorry, Shmoo,” Slater wrote. “I thought we had this.”
Australian surf legend Tom Carroll responded: “No sense. I thought so too. Shmoo RIP.”
Four-time world champion Lisa Anderson posted: “I’m lost for words. Hope you are at peace.”
Countless other professional surfers paid tribute to Shimooka on social media, including Mark Mathews, Ronnie Blakey and Cory Lopez. | <urn:uuid:226162f0-0484-40ab-81f5-d7450b6b606b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/surfing-world-mourns-loss-of-aussie-star-john-shimooka-found-dead-at-51/news-story/bdf7c458776130b4ae1b17341bfe48a8 | 2022-01-21T04:33:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.970518 | 622 |
Super Bowl Odds for Each Team Entering the 2020 Season
Incredible as it may seem, Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season is finally upon us. After an uncertain offseason, the NFL will take to the field this week, starting on Thursday night.
All 32 teams are driven by a single goal -- to capture the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LV.
|Kansas City Chiefs||+650||10.4%|
|San Francisco 49ers||+900||9.2%|
|New Orleans Saints||+1200||8.5%|
|Tampa Bay Buccaneers||+1500||3.9%|
|New England Patriots||+2300||5.0%|
|Green Bay Packers||+3100||3.8%|
|Los Angeles Chargers||+4000||1.3%|
|Los Angeles Rams||+4000||2.8%|
|Las Vegas Raiders||+6000||0.7%|
|New York Giants||+8500||0.3%|
|New York Jets||+8500||0.4%|
Our odds come courtesy of our nERD metric -- which measures the number of points we'd expect a team to win by against an average opponent on a neutral field. At present, the Baltimore Ravens have a nERD rating of 5.90. This tops the league and reinforces their betting status as favorites to win the Super Bowl.
By contrast, the Cincinnati Bengals are all the way at the opposite end of the nERD scale. They have a -6.23 rating, the lowest among all 32 teams despite Cincy having shorter betting odds than the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A lot can change in a year, especially in the NFL. Comparing these odds to 2019, a few things jump out. Two of the very best teams in the league -- the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers -- were viewed in a much different light 12 months ago. We gave Baltimore a 4.2% chance to win last year's Super Bowl while San Fran was down at 1.1%.
On the flip side, the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots have headed the other way. Prior to Week 1 last year, we handed New England an 11.5% chance to win it all while the Bolts had 7.8% title odds.
These odds won't remain the same throughout the year, of course. As more games are played, more teams will fall out of contention while other teams will make more forceful statements with regards the likelihood of them being the ones to lift the trophy at the end of the season. I'll be checking every week for the changes to these odds and will report back on the biggest movers and shakers as the season progresses.

Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness MonthWritten by The SAFE Alliance
Advocates, survivors, law enforcement, and members of the Family Violence Task Force gathered Jan. 31 at Commissioners Court to receive a proclamation from Judge Sarah Eckhardt and commissioners recognizing February 2017 as Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Month.
Throughout February, students in Austin and surrounding districts will participate in activities to promote safe and respectful relationships. Expect Respect will distribute I Expect Respect Toolkits, which include posters, morning announcements, and lesson plans to schools and youth agencies.
Teen relationships can be intense, emotional, and sometimes, volatile. Many times parents are unaware or underestimate how intense the relationships have become and may miss signs that the relationship has moved beyond a healthy dating relationship. It’s easy for anyone — young people in particular — to confuse jealousy, excessive contact, or other controlling behaviors with love. Expect Respect is a program of SAFE that helps teens learn about and build healthy relationships.
The Family Violence Task Force consists of advocates, educators, law enforcement, court personnel, and other community members who work to prevent domestic violence and increase responsiveness to victims and their families. | <urn:uuid:5546e953-9321-4593-a186-18415b22b11e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.safeaustin.org/tdvpam/ | 2022-01-21T04:58:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.943532 | 233 |

After coming out of the wettest Winter on record, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the summer is going to be a wash out as well. However, latest weather reports have suggested that this weekend is going to be warmer than anticipated leaving us wondering – how do we deal with the British weather?
With the seasons constantly shifting, it is possible to now see snow in March and sunshine in October. This is a marketers worst nightmare as it makes planning for promotional gifts very difficult. You could end up investing in thousands of ice scrapers in winter to find yourself in the warmest winter for years. Similarly, you could invest in baseball caps for summer but find it's a washout! So which products can you invest in which will be useful, whatever the season?
With the weather being so unsettled, there is plenty of opportunity for companies to send out weather related items to their customers. For example, branded umbrellas which will always be useful. Many people like to have an umbrella handy – whether it be in their car, office or at home. It's inevitable that you will need an umbrella at some point due to the British weather, so this is going to be a well used item.
Another idea for products is items to do with spring cleaning. As we're now into March, people are going to gradually start the annual spring clean of their home. This means they are likely to require more cleaning supplies, or cleaning products to make their jobs easier. Why not provide your customers with promotional dustpan and brushes or similar?
There are many positives to providing promotional items such as umbrellas and dustpans as you know these are going to be used on a regular basis. Whatever the time of year, they can be used or kept by for use. They also have a fairly large printing area available which means a relatively big printing space is available.
Many marketers are now thinking about summer products, such as suntan lotions and face spray. Whilst most summer items are seasonal, many companies aren't likely to purchase them as they are only going to be used for a couple of months of the year.
What products have you noticed work well in the past? Seasonal or unseasonal? We'd love to hear your thoughts over on our Social Media pages. | <urn:uuid:82f9aa36-bf44-4dc3-8a33-6e9917809bf9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.totalmerchandise.co.uk/news/article/surviving-the-crazy-british-weather | 2022-01-21T04:48:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302723.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121040956-20220121070956-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.978523 | 466 |

After brainstorming for a bit during class, our team of three rejected the idea of developing a text-based Sherlock Holmes thriller. It was too cliché according to us, and after much thought, we decided on a game, central plot of which is based in a locked cabin. A player finds himself trapped inside a coffin, his hands handcuffed. Is this too dark for you already? Wait for it! He gets out of the coffin only to find his helpless friends across the transparent walls. The time has already begun, and if he does not act fast enough, his friends are going to die in the weirdest of ways. But what if he turns out to be a self-absorbed person? After a certain period of time, a dragon enters the cabin and eats him alive.
Initially, the player would need to move the coffin to find a key to unlock the handcuffs. Our team is figuring out the details of the story. This is where working collaboratively proves to be an advantage. Each one of us has read or watched related works, such as The Exam and the best-selling thriller And Then There Were None, which has helped us think about our plot right from the onset.
For further motivation, Tong is looking into existing room escape games on various platforms, such as mobile applications and web-based 3D games. Her critical thinking ability is greatly valued, and alongside Julia, she plans to sketch the storyline, set up puzzles, and determine the player’s superpowers, if any. As a Computer Science & Engineering major, my objective is to gauge the feasibility of our design, build a minimum viable product (MVP), and see if advanced features can be incorporated successfully. In addition, Julia will oversee our progress and critique the project as and when appropriate. I think our biggest challenge while working as a team would be finding time to meet, given that all three of us have packed schedules.
So far, our work resonates with the writing process of The Unknown in which the authors “began with a general scenario, but … there was little conscious agreement about how the plot(s) might proceed.” (Rettberg, S., Stories and Storytelling in the Digital Age, pg. 192) Nevertheless, we agree to review each other’s contribution to get a sense of the “context” before proposing any changes. As we look at other similar games, we try to decipher what designers of these games have encoded for their players. In the process, we may draw parallels with how we envision our game to function, and “in turn generate crossover fiction.” (Thomas, B., Harry Potter Fanfiction and Narrative as a Participatory Process, pg. 212) This is especially fascinating to me because we are acting as reviewers and authors (or designers) of texts simultaneously.

As I spend far too much of my time saving old computer tat from landfill, is was inevitable
that I'd throw together some sort of website to show all 3 of you what I do.
You just can't beat the
old 8bit machines.... Keeping them alive can be as addictive as keeping vintage cars on the road, but with less rust, unless
its a Commodore Pet.
If you've got an old sick computer that you'd like to reseraect, drop me a line!
You'll also notice, that I have a slight leaning towards Commodore machines.. But I still find time to fiddle
with all maner of other makes and models of vintage computers.Back Story... Shortly
after the earth cooled...
My first computer was a Vic-20, second was an Amstrad PCW8256 (took
it back a week later tho, third was a C128 (yay!).. The list went on and on.. Till I finally switched from Amiga 4000 to PC
Thanks to being a bit mental, and a thing called ebay.. I have managed to fill my house with all
kinds of vintage computer greatness..I
also offer a repair service for Commodore Vic-20 C64 C128 C16 Plus4 and Amiga, as well as Sinclair, Amstrad, Oric, BBC,
Atari and Dragon computers.. Also free advice for those who want to fix it themselves! Check out the Repair pages as
well as the forums.
Hey, this website is work in progress.. The last
time I did anything close to this was a bulletin board way back in 1826.. Just after tea time, but before Eastenders. -
I'm working (very slowly) on a new website... So you won't have to put up with this "Knocked up in shed"
version for much longer!

On Wednesday Salisbury University begins its defense of their status as two-time NCAA Division III Men’s Lacrosse National Champions. The Sea Gulls (16-3) have won ten in a row and enter the 2018 NCAA Tournament ranked #7 nationally. Salisbury’s only loss in regulation was March 24 at York.
Eight Sea Gulls are playing the final contests of their college career. The senior class has the opportunity to achieve a third straight title. It has occurred one other time in program history (2003, 2004, 2005).
“Hopefully we get a couple of breaks here and there and that we will have an opportunity to be competing a couple of more weeks and that objective becomes a reality,” head coach Jim Berkman said. | <urn:uuid:9aff58b5-f72b-4f29-8672-72f3f066ff72> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://sports.wboc.com/featured-sports/the-road-to-a-national-championship-three-peat/ | 2022-01-22T15:41:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303864.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122134127-20220122164127-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.974348 | 158 |

My parents tell me I always liked to read. As a kid, long before I could actually read, I would be sitting on the couch, thumbing through a book, staring intently at the pages. When my mom would ask me what I was doing, I would tell her I was "reading."
I don't remember this personally, of course. My earliest memory of books is thumbing through--scratch that, actually reading--several Classics Illustrated books. I remember reading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (which doesn't actually sound right, as it's a fairly gruesome book near the end, but that's what I remember). Later, there was the Scholastic Book Club one sheet order forms we got in school, which lead to a lot of classics, including an abridged Journey to the Center of the Earth. Someone (a fellow student? or was it in our English text?) introduced me to Encyclopedia Brown, which lead to Alfred Hitchcock's Three Detectives stories. Later, the fateful day in middle school library where I ran across The Hobbit...which led me to beg my parents to buy my own copies, and then, somewhere during my third read-through, have them cover the paperbacks with contact paper to protect them. Later still, when I found a Stephen King book in my high school study hall desk, my fate/addiction was sealed.
Somewhere during my growing reading obsession, I started to fall in love with the books themselves. Given the option, I would look for hardbacks over paper. I started to prowl Chamblin's Book Mine (the world's best used book store) for cool, unexpected titles, all the while wondering why anyone would not just keep their used books yet still being thankful for their oversight whenever I made another discovery.
My love became more obsessive and ornate. I used to drive up to the recently opened Barnes & Noble and spend whatever was left over in my paycheck. Whenever I found a leather-bound (or even pleather-bound) edition--particularly if on the bargain bin tables--I would swipe it up. Much of these visits was spent staring longingly at the leather-bound and lavishly illustrated Lord of the Rings collection, but I could never bring myself to pull the trigger. I would go to see whatever obscure writer my university would bring in, buy a book, and get an autograph. Eventually, I started dreaming of owning a house mainly so I could have my own library (wood-paneled, of course) of leather-bound and hand-signed editions...you know, a gentlemanly room in which I could dwell when I retired, maybe while wearing a tweed jacket and enjoying a snifter of cognac.
When I moved from Florida to Ohio, a good half of my U-Haul was paper boxes full of books. I had bookshelves in my living room, bedroom, and study that first year in my new apartment. Then I had to get a roomate, so there was a contraction...some books went to a used bookstore, others went for sale online. After another roommate, my then-girlfriend moved in with more stuff, so another contraction. Pulled by the allure of washer and dryer hookups, we moved to a smaller house...and another contraction. The more stuff we acquired, the more books went bye-bye. When we started to turn the study into a nursery, it brought on (you guessed it) yet another contraction.
Too many books have, through the years, gone away. I realized long ago I'm never going to have the wood-paneled library...hell, I'm probably never going to own my own house and certainly will never be able to afford to retire, so the lack of a library in which to hang isn't really a big deal. I still have a lot of those old and leather-bound editions, but I never read them. Hell, I hardly even think of them. Instead, when I think of books, I think of my fourth copy of Neuromancer, my second copy of Snowcrash, or my still-contact paper-bound Lord of the Rings set. I can and quite often do close my eyes and recall scenes, lines, whole passages from each. I can, however, do the same with the Bill, The Galactic Hero series and about fifty other books, all of which are considerably more low-brow...and all of which, unfortunately, are lost in the book-contraction breeze.
This year for Christmas, my parents bought me a Kindle. I'm relatively broke, so I immediately downloaded a ton of out-of-copyright classics. It now has tons of Twain, Burroughs, Verne, and Wells residing on it, just waiting to be (quite literally) thumbed through. Immediately, though, I thought about buying a copy of Neuromancer, my perennial candidate for best novel ever. It would be nice, I considered, to have a copy whose binding would never break. And then get copies of all my other personal classics. And then get copies of all the goofy sci-fi and horror I've plowed through. I could, on this one little device, hold the library of my dreams and the library of stuff I've actually read.
Then it occurred to me: if I could have every book I've ever wanted on this one device and back up said library on the computer...what did I need books for?
Artifacts are going away. I've already moved into a post-artifactual music collection. While I have some dvds, they usually remain in storage, as my dvr is a much better storage medium. My papers and teaching material have long been digital. I now store lyric and music ideas on a hard drive rather than cassettes and notepads.
What is my world going to look like when I finally make the complete move to virtual storage? My stuff is losing its tangibility...and I'm surprised to find myself perfectly fine with that. | <urn:uuid:abc235b4-8f9d-4ce7-85c8-9d5dd3ba090e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.themikedubose.com/2012/02/goodbye-artifacts.html | 2022-01-22T15:54:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303864.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122134127-20220122164127-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.977868 | 1,241 |
It was a day of rejoicing.
As we concluded our appointment at North Side, there were a lot of things to process, but I will keep it where it needs to be – Jesus has been so very faithful to our family and we love the people of North Side. He loved each of us while we were still sinners, and I refuse to get over that!
Loved the way that our entire worship team led, and so thankful for how the worshipers went after it. I was amazed at how much the church jumped into the new song “For the Glory.”
I love, love, love you people.
We are very thankful for the drop-in that you guys are throwing for our family. We will see you at 4-6 today.

The Subaru Forester definitely evolved a lot in the past 2 years, gaining many fans and a whole lot of praise for the car-like refinement included and the utilitarian personality exhibited. In the 2015 model we see minor updates as compared to the complete 2014 redesign, but that only pushes the SUV towards being a very interesting bargain. We can say that the vehicle is now even more practical, all with a price hike of just $225.
In the Subaru Forester 2015 2.0 XT Touring we have the backup camera included as a standard, quite a useful feature when you carry a lot of cargo. Your center stack will get a multi-function color display and you will appreciate EyeSight, being paired with All Weather Package (only on demand – standard on 2.5i Premium models).
Everything that made the 2014 Subaru Forester a success is included in Subaru Forester 2015 2.0 XT Touring. You have a six speed transmission, 170 hp and the torque you gain access to is 174 pounds per feet.
The body style of the SUV is Sport Utility and we have all-wheel drive included. 6 standard colors can be chosen and can take advantage of the automatic transmission included, with manual mode possibility. Fuel consumption is at 23-28 city/highway.
Out of the exterior features, you will like the inclusion of power windows, rear defrost, privacy glass, different possible moonroofs, a rear spoiler and a maximum trailering capacity of 1500 lbs.
The interior is quite cozy with various features that are included as standard like cruise control, the above mentioned back-up camera, an anti-theft system, steering wheel controls, variable speed intermittent wipers, leather wrapped steering wheel, power drive mirror and passenger vanity mirror. If you pay a little more you can also get keyless start, luggage rack, interior cargo shade, fog lamps and remote engine start (keyless start).
When referring to the safety features, you get a 5 airbag system and the breaks have 4 wheel disc brakes and 4 wheel ABS. The driver can take advantage of brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, daytime running lights and child safety locks.
On the whole, the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.0 XT Touring stands out as the one trim that will be the most appreciated as it caters to most SUV owners out there. It is just a minor upgrade when compared with the 2014 Subaru Forester but the price hike is so small that it is a very good idea to opt for the 2015 model. | <urn:uuid:2af4f23a-35f5-4f5a-8bea-df4203c889bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.whatissuv.com/subaru-forester-2015-2-0-xt-touring-review/ | 2022-01-22T15:01:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303864.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122134127-20220122164127-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.93096 | 524 |
Johann Huber & Uta
The Stettner Hof was founded in the 17th century. In the 18th century it was owned by the Huber family and has since been handed over in sucession.
The 26-hectare farm is managed by Hans Huber as a part-time business and has it’s main focus in the production of fodder, as the family business focuses on horse breeding and rearing. In addition to horses, you can also find sheep on the farm and not to forget: the agriculture with oats for Barnhouse
Since 1978 the farm has been converted to organic farming and was first a member of Demeter, then changed to Naturland in 1995. Hans cites the birth of his eldest daughter as the motivation for the change. Like many other organic farmers, he wanted an agriculture that was sustainable and that made the world a little better. | <urn:uuid:130b508c-75c4-49d3-b29d-70f6476da206> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://barnhouse.de/en/partnerlandwirt/johann-huber-uta/ | 2022-01-22T14:18:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303864.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122134127-20220122164127-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.987395 | 182 |
