Here we give you an overview of what development stages of motor skills occur during the first 20 months.
Please note: every child develops in their own, individual time. Many children will go through the different development phases one after another, others all at the same time. If you have any doubts regarding the development of your baby, please consult your paediatrician.
Age (approx.) Movement
Your baby makes uncontrolled movements that are strongly determined by (involuntary) reflexes. If you give your baby a finger, they will cling to it immediately. If you stroke the sole of their foot, the little foot will curl in as if to grab something.
Your baby can hold his/her own head up when on his/her stomach or sitting. Your baby can hold on to an object briefly.
Your baby begins to turn: first to the side, then from stomach to back and then from back to stomach. Objects are picked up with both hands at first, later smaller objects can be picked up with one hand and transferred to the other.
This is the latest that you should make the flat baby-proof: your child begins to move around independently (crawling, shuffling), and learns to sit. Small objects can be picked up by thumb and forefinger (scissor grip), later your baby can also pick up e.g. a crumb with his/her finger tips (tweezer grip).
Your child can sit up alone and unaided.
Your child learns to pull him/herself up on furniture and move along holding on.
Your child can walk unaided and discovers the world on his/her own two feet.
Your baby will teach him/herself to crawl, sit and walk as soon as he/she is ready to do so. Some children simply leave out one development stage, e.g. shuffling or crawling, others develop their own special ways of moving around, e.g. rolling.
You can encourage your baby in his/her movement by giving your baby the possibility to practice and gather experience. Lay your baby on a blanket on the floor as often as possible and let him/her kick. When your baby is awake, alternate lying it on his/her stomach and back. For a short time your baby can also sit up straight in a baby chair.
Make lots of room for your baby in your flat by getting rid of sources of danger. Your child can now move unrestricted. | <urn:uuid:226898bd-bdd7-416b-8146-04a35afe7a83> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.hipp.ph/motor-skills-language/development-of-motor-skills/ | 2022-01-24T06:57:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.940099 | 544 |

Tampa Bay Downs is taking a break from its stakes schedule this Saturday, with a 10-race card and first post at 12:25 p.m.
The co-feature races are the fourth and sixth, which are both at a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the turf course.
The first race will be on the dirt at 6 ½ furlongs for three-year-olds and up. There is a $17,200 purse and a claiming price of $12,500.
It will be a battle between father and son, as trainers Gerald and Dale Bennett both have entries in the six-horse race.
Gerald Bennett has Roundupthelute and Inaswagger. His son has Media Time.
Gerald Bennett led Tampa Bay Downs trainers in wins in 2015-2016. He is building a commanding lead this season with eleven wins in 22 starts. Chad Stewart and Kathleen Demasi are tied for second with three wins each.
Dale Bennett has two wins and one second place finish in three starts at the Oldsmar track.
They also will have a trainer match-up in today’s fifth race—Gerald with Gadsby Tavern and Dale with Tiz Samurai.
The fourth race, for males three-year-olds and upward, has an optional claiming price of $32,00 and a purse of $23,500.
Lewis Vale, the morning-line 2-1 favorite, stands a good shot if he holds his pace and remains strong until the end.
In his last five races, at tracks in Illinois, he took the early lead. He had one win, two second place and two fifth place finishes in races at levels similar to today’s race.
The 5-year-old gelding is trained by Larry Rivelli who has been the leading trainer several seasons at Arlington Park near Chicago. He will be ridden by Jesus L, Castanon.
Call Will, trained by Demasi, also has early speed and also will be among the favorites.
The field also has three horses that ran at Tampa Bay on Nov. 26 in the first leg of the annual four-race Tampa Turf Test series.
Lighthouse Sound finished sixth on Nov. 26. But he has three wins in six turf starts at Tampa Bay and the highest Brisnet prime power rating in the race. He will be ridden by Daniel Centeno, who leads Tampa Bay jockeys with nine wins, and is trained by Darien Rodriguez.
Tribal Message finished second and Cherokee Colours finished eighth in the Nov. 26 race.
The sixth race will be an allowance for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up, with a purse of $22,500. Morning- line odds of 3-1 favor Conscription. Angel Cruz will ride her and she is trained by H. Graham Motion.
For this race, there a few other potential contenders such as Tyrannical who has been third or better in all four of her career starts and will be ridden by Centeno.
Two others to keep an eye on are Sumfloridasunfun and Yahtzee Queen. Sumfloridasunfun has been strong lately with two wins, one second, and one third place finish in her last five starts.
Yahtzee Queen has shown mild improvement, as well. Ranked first in the prime power, she generally races from back in the pack and has a win and a second place finish in four career starts.
The next Tampa Bay Downs stakes will be the $100,000 Lightning City on Dec. 17. It will be five furlongs on turf for fillies and mares three-years-old and up.

To ensure the Lloyd’s brand is used correctly we have produced a set of brand guidelines for approved coverholders.
Lloyd’s brand is our most powerful asset. Using it correctly helps to ensure it remains recognizable, consistent across the world and retains its value. Using it incorrectly or inappropriately can mislead customers and dilute its value. When using Lloyd’s name or logos, the most important consideration is ensuring the customer understands exactly who is insuring their risk. Products are what companies make. Brands are what people choose and buy. Lloyd's is the strongest brand in insurance.
Lloyd’s brand guidelines for Coverholders are designed to help you understand how to bring the Lloyd’s brand to life in your communications. You may refer to Lloyd’s on your general and product promotional material. When referring to Lloyd’s, it is important that you use specific phrases to clarify your relationship (or your product’s relationship) with Lloyd’s. Your Lloyd's broker or Managing Agent will help you make sure you get your branding right.
Use of the Lloyd’s logos:
- On promotion material:
You may use the Coverholder at Lloyd’s logo on the home page of your website, business cards and letterheads. You may also use it on product promotional material where the product has been 100% underwritten at Lloyd’s.
- On insurance policies and documentation:
You can use both the Lloyd’s logo and the Arms of Lloyd’s on official insurance documentation. These may not be edited or changed in any way.
Please note: Insurance documentation is defined as documents issued with the authority of Lloyd’s underwriters as evidence of an insurance contract, provided these documents identify only Lloyd’s underwriters as the insurers.
Where a document also refers to an intermediary, the relationship between the intermediary and Lloyd’s underwriters must be made clear on the face of the document.
The coverholder brand guidelines do not address local insurance regulatory requirements, including advertising restrictions and prohibitions, which may be imposed in some jurisdictions (including the US), on market participants, capital providers and others.
Certain use of the Lloyd’s name and Lloyd’s logo which might be permissible under these general guidelines might nevertheless constitute a violation of local law. In such cases local legal requirements will always prevail.
To request the Lloyd's logos or if you would like any further information about the Lloyd’s brand, please contact [email protected] or visit the link below. | <urn:uuid:1a2d224e-7a24-43f1-adc0-5dd936e81ef2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.lloyds.com/conducting-business/delegated-authorities/compliance-and-operations/lloyds-brand | 2022-01-24T07:18:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.88411 | 537 |

Zinc-induced moulting: production and physiology
Moulting is a complex process, induced by diet manipulation, which results in renewal of reproductive system and subsequent better production. Conventionally, moulting has been practised by utilising feed withdrawal in many developing countries, however, this has been associated with many drawbacks.
Alternative types of moulting practices have been studied, however, these are not practised widely due to a range of undesirable effects. As a consequence of the beneficial effects on laying hens, better post-moult performance and a less criticised method according to poultry welfare advocates, Zn-induced moulting has been considered superior to forced-moulting.
Different aspects of Zn-induced moulting related to physiology and production, with special reference to immunohistochemistry of pituitary gland as affected by Zn-induce moulting are included in this review.

Bangladesh's most experienced opener Tamim Iqbal opted outof the upcoming India tour as his wife is expecting their second child. Thenational selectors have replaced Tamim with Imrul Kayes.
The 30-year-old opener is also nursing a rib injury and hadinformed the board about his unavailability in the T20 series. It is, however,still not clear if he is available for the Test series or not.
"Tamim had informedus earlier that he would miss the second Test in Kolkata but now he will bewith his wife for the coming weeks," Chief Selector Minhajul Abedin was quoted.
India is hosting Bangladesh for a three-match T20 andtwo-match Test series starting on November 3. The Bangladesh cricketers, whowere on strike, called it off after a meeting with Bangladesh Cricket Board(BCB) officials, who accepted players' pay hike demands.
Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team for the upcoming T20I series as regular skipper Virat Kohli has been rested for the tour. What is also noteworthy is that Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube have been included in the side.
This comes as a huge blow to Bangladesh ahead of the three-match T20I series. The left-hand batter has played 204 ODIs, 58 Tests and 75 T20Is for Bangladesh so far and he has been a consistent performer for the Bangla Tigers. | <urn:uuid:43dbbc37-0896-48f4-bcac-ed41608408d5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.pratidintime.com/sports/ind-vs-ban-t20-tamim-withdraws-from-india-tour | 2022-01-24T07:01:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.982747 | 301 |
There has been a lot of controversy recently around van dwellers in Bristol that have set up home just around the corner from our house in Easton. Newspapers have whipped up hysteria in response to complaints from some local residents (I should add that many have no issue with it), and many questions have been raised. Should campervans be allowed to park long term on residential streets? Should van dwellers have to pay council tax?
I think there is another issue here that is not being addressed. The tens of thousands of campervans up and down the country that sit outside people’s houses for 48 weeks of the year or more. So many people seem to feel the need to own a campervan despite the huge costs associated with buying and maintaining them, and the fact that they spend so much time just clogging up city streets and annoying the neighbours.
By contrast, our campervan Bella is out for 26 weeks of the year. When we are not using her she is off on tours round Scotland, to weddings and festivals and on family camping trips. She’s maintained to a far higher standard than she would be if she was just for our own use and is therefore much more reliable.
We get it. Campervans are a lot of fun. They are a more enjoyable and comfortable way to camp, great if you’ve got kids, the only option in winter and they give you an amazing sense of freedom and the ability to roam and choose your own view every day. But you have to be using it a lot for it to make sense to have your own rather than renting whenever you need one.
As a society we need to shift our thinking away from our obsession with ownership. The ‘sharing economy’ has become a rather overused phrase but it is a rapidly growing sector. For example, our family hardly ever needs a car so we are signed up to our local car club – it seems more expensive for each individual use but of course we save hundreds if not thousands over the course of the year, plus it’s better for the environment and for our neighbours. We need to keep thinking about creative ways to make the most of our resources.
And those people living in their vans by the Greenbank cemetery? Well they are at least making full use of them and leaving a far smaller footprint than most of us. | <urn:uuid:c1e410a9-f4a7-4287-a05d-476488c7db3a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.quirkycampers.com/uk/blog/real-problem-isnt-van-city-bristol-tens-thousands-campervans-sitting-unused-outside-peoples-houses/ | 2022-01-24T07:13:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.974423 | 486 |
Brogramming is the art of looking good while you write code. Inverse brogramming is a silly term that I’m trying to coin for the opposite, but more important, concept: the art of writing good looking code.
At useR2013 I gave a talk on inverse brogramming in R – for those of you who weren’t there but live in North West England, I’m repeating the talk at the Manchester R User Group on 8th August. For everyone else, here a very quick rundown of the ideas.
With modern data analysis, you really have two jobs: being a statistician and being a programmer. This is especially true with R, where pointing and clicking is mostly eschewed in favour of scripting. If you come from a statistics background, then it’s very easy to focus on just the stats to the detriment of learning any programming skills.
The thing is though, software developers have spent decades figuring out how to make writing code easier, so there are lots of tips and tricks that can make your life easier.
My software dev bible is Steve McConnell’s Code Complete. Read it! It will change your life.
The minor downside it that, although very readable, it’s about 850 pages, so it takes some getting through.
The good news it that there are a couple of simple things that you can do that I think have the highest productivity-to-effort ratio.
Firstly, use a style guide. This is just a set of rules that explains what your code should look like. If your code has a consistent style, then it becomes much easier to read code that you wrote last year. If your whole team has a common style, then it becomes much easier to collaborate. Style helps you scale projects to more programmers.
There’s a style guide over the page, here.
Secondly, treat functions as a black box. You shouldn’t need to examine the source code to understand what a function does. Ideally, a function’s signature should clearly tell you what it does. The signature is the name of the function and its inputs. (Technically it includes the output as well, but that’s difficult to determine programmatically in R.)
sig package helps you determine whether your code lives up to this ideal.
sig function prints a function signature.
library(sig) sig(read.csv) ## read.csv <- function(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote = """, dec ## = ".", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", ...)
So far, so unexciting. The
formals functions do much the same thing. (In fact the
sig function is just a wrapper to
formals with a pretty
It gets more interesting, when you look at the signatures of lots of functions together.
list_sigs prints all the sigs from a file or environment.
list_sigs(pkg2env(tools)) ## add_datalist <- function(pkgpath, force = FALSE) ## ## bibstyle <- function(style, envir, ..., .init = FALSE, .default = ## TRUE) ## ## buildVignettes <- function(package, dir, lib.loc = NULL, quiet = ## TRUE, clean = TRUE, tangle = FALSE) ## ## check_packages_in_dir <- function(dir, check_args = character(), ## check_args_db = list(), reverse = NULL, ## check_env = character(), xvfb = FALSE, Ncpus = ## getOption("Ncpus", 1), clean = TRUE, ...)
Even from just the first four signatures, you can see that the
tools package has a style problem.
check_packages_in_dir are lower_under_case,
buildVignettes is lowerCamelCase, and
bibstyle is plain lowercase.
I don’t want to pick on the
tools package – it was written by lots of people over a long time period, and S compatibility was a priority for some parts, but you really don’t want to write your own code like this.
write_sigs is a variant of
list_sigs that writes your sigs to a file. Here’s a game for you: print out the signatures from a package of yours and give them to a colleague. Then ask them to guess what the functions do. If they can’t guess, then you need to rethink your naming strategy.
There are two more simple metrics to identify dodgy functions. If functions have a lot of input arguments, it means that they are more complicated for users to understand. If functions are very long, then they are harder to maintain. (Would you rather hunt for a bug in a 500 line function or a 5 line function?)
sig package also contains a
sig_report function that identifies problem functions. This example uses the
Hmisc package because it contains many awful mega-functions that desperately need refactoring into smaller pieces.
sig_report( pkg2env(Hmisc), too_many_args = 25, too_many_lines = 200 ) ## The environment contains 509 variables of which 504 are functions. ## Distribution of the number of input arguments to the functions: ## 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ## 4 62 117 90 41 41 22 17 14 17 15 10 8 4 6 3 1 ## 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 27 28 30 33 35 48 66 ## 4 5 3 2 4 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 ## These functions have more than 25 input args: ## dotchart2 event.chart ## labcurve latex.default ## latex.summary.formula.reverse panel.xYplot ## rlegend transcan ## Distribution of the number of lines of the functions: ## 1 2 [3,4] [5,8] [9,16] [17,32] ## 1 47 15 57 98 108 ## [33,64] [65,128] [129,256] [257,512] [513,1024] ## 81 58 30 8 1 ## These functions have more than 200 lines: ## areg aregImpute ## event.chart event.history ## format.df labcurve ## latex.default panel.xYplot ## plot.curveRep plot.summary.formula.reverse ## print.char.list rcspline.plot ## redun rlegend ## rm.boot sas.get ## summary.formula transcan

There are hundreds of diets out there, how can you tell which ones will produce the results you want? This post will give you some guidelines that will help you ensure weight loss success.
Here are some simple guidelines given by the Mayo Clinic that can help you decide. I renamed and reordered them so you can remember them, just think of the acronym BEEF:
Check out the U.S. News rankings for best diets as one place to look for ideas.
The Shrinkinguy Diet
People often ask me how I eat and what diet do I follow. First of all, there is no Shrinkinguy Diet. I reject the word diet. On one had it just means the particular food plan you follow, but on the other there is a connotation of a temporary change in the way you eat in order to achieve some specific short-term results. Like "I need to lose a few pounds in order to fit into this dress," so a woman might drastically change the way she eats for a few weeks in order to quickly accomplish that goal. Yes, the goal might be achieved, but not in a sustainable manner. The woman has no intention of living like that forever, and chances are it wouldn't be healthy to live that way anyway. That's the opposite of healthy weight loss.
If the changes you make aren't permanent, then the results you achieve won't be either. Isn't the overall objective to lose and keep the weight off? You need to lose the weight in a manner that you feel comfortable doing for the rest of your life. In addition to the Mayo Clinic principles above, here are some guidelines for eating that I use for myself and encourage others to follow:
There are more tips and advice I could give, but these are some good basic ones. Keeping these principles in mind you'll achieve the weight loss success you seek.

Even with a full moon, eyesight becomes problematic due to a lack of accessible light during the late hours of the day. Fortunately, technical advancement has provided us with a plethora of night-vision solutions since 1930. We are quite excited about the prospect of educating you on the subject of night vision.
Before we get into it, let’s take a look at what makes night vision gadgets operate. We’ll go over the generations with you. In fact, not the entire storey begins with the Vietnam War, but merely the most fundamental principles in order to understand how it works and what distinguishes gen 1 from generations 2, 3, and 4.
In order to form an image, night vision systems rely on ambient light. The most important component is the use of intensifier tubes, which magnify light by a factor of 1,000 times larger than the human eye.
Although it was formerly the most popular technology, we do not advocate purchasing it today because of the low resolution, blurring edges, and reliance on infrared illuminators that it has.
Adding a microchannel plate to the Gen 1 tubes inside the device, which helped increase light gain and resolution, was a key advance beginning in the 1980s and continuing today. The light sensitivity, on the other hand, remained the same as that of the Gen 1 night vision equipment.
Gen 3 devices were the next step in the development of night vision equipment. It is based on the same technology as Gen 2, but it incorporates a chemical inside the photocathode screen of the tube. As a result, the images produced by Gen 3 devices are the cleanest and brightest available. Furthermore, the tube life has been improved to a maximum of 10,000 hours.
PS: Gen 1, 2, and 3 have certain significant disadvantages, one of which is that they are readily damaged by light exposure.
Sure, it’s a step up over Gen 3, but the costs are prohibitively expensive. It performs the same functions as Gen 3, only in a clearer manner. It is suitable for usage at any time of day. This technique generates images that have the highest identification and detection range possible. If you can afford it, or if your life relies on it, invest in a night vision device.
What else will you be needing along with night vision goggles?
Understand what you require in order to obtain the appropriate equipment.
The first and most important piece of equipment is a helmet. Yes, the majority of systems will include a strap head mount. The helmet, on the other hand, is one of those pieces of equipment that makes you appear cool.
As a result, you’ll require a helmet. When making your selection, make certain that the front of the weapon has the standard “shroud” for attachments. Without a doubt, it should be lightweight in order to shed a couple of pounds from around your neck and your cranium.
Mounts for attaching your goggles to a helmet should have excellent adjustment so that you may avoid mishaps where they slip off completely. That’s why mounts were created in the first place! Models that are really simple to use are dependable, but their prices can be too pricey at times. Wilcox mount is a model that we can recommend because the quality is worth the price.
As previously stated, the night vision system magnifies any ambient light that enters the camera. However, what should you do if there is no ambient light? The solution is to get an infrared illuminator, correct? Some versions come with built-in illuminators, but they are not powerful enough to allow you to hunt comfortably and safely at nighttime.
- IR Lasers
We all know how tough it is to see through your sights when wearing night-vision goggles at night. The infrared laser was created to assist you in making a decision about this issue. It operates in the same manner as a visible laser, allowing you to utilise the beam as an aiming point. IR lasers are widely utilised as targets and locational designators all throughout the world, and they are quite effective.
Moving up to the top of the list, a counterbalance is a terrific attachment that allows you to attach anything you want to it (IR marker for example).
We hope you have a much clearer idea about the best night vision goggles 2021 now. You can refer to this article anytime before purchasing an optic goggles yourself. | <urn:uuid:58fd64bf-c995-4aba-b708-a792c278767b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.thenexthint.com/an-a-to-z-buying-guide-for-night-vision-optic-goggles/10462/ | 2022-01-24T06:36:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.957065 | 941 |

Pentecost is the second greatest festival in the Jewish calendar. It was the in-gathering of the harvest and was a great event in the life of Israel. In the New Testament too, Pentecost is a great event for it was the in-gathering of souls which began the first-century church.
Coming fifty days after the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, Pentecost was the fulfillment of the greatest promise that Jesus gave to His disciples before He was ascended to heaven. So He told them to tarry in Jerusalem until they were endued with the power from on high. He said “… you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
1. The crisis of the Crucifixion
The power of Pentecost can be visualized and understood as it is demonstrated in the early church. It was a scene that must be pictured so that it will be engraved in the hearts and minds of believers: Jesus is betrayed into the hands of His enemies; the disciples are bewildered and fearful. He is taken to the Chief Priest and some of the disciples follow from afar. Peter is one of those who sits with the people watching the agonizing scenes of Jesus’ trial.
This is the same Peter who said “I will die with you” but now he is scared of a mere servant girl who says “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.” He denies it with curses, saying, “I don’t know the man!” (Matthew 26:71-74). This was a natural human reaction to the sudden disastrous event that shook very rock bottom of the faith of the disciples. It is not an unnatural scene. When faced with hostile mobs and going through torture, painfully aware that the majority will win and as the minority is crushed, it can be expected that most people will say anything that will save their lives.
However, the friend of Jesus could not be snuffed out by the horrible experiences that he went through. Jesus had made it known to His disciples that He would face many things and would ultimately be put to death. He had also said that He will rise triumphantly; conquering sin, sickness, death, hell and the grave and this was fulfilled on that first Easter morning when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He showed Himself to the ladies who had come to anoint His body And He instructed them to go and tell the disciples that he has raised from the dead. The disciples hearing this ran to the tomb, but Peter out-ran them.
Looking into the open tomb, to his great astonishment he saw that the grave clothes were laid on a side – even the napkin with which His face had been wrapped; he was struck by the lightning of the resurrected Spirit of Jesus – it shook him from head to foot. Afar this Peter obeyed the Lord and went to the upper room with 120 followers of Christ. In the meantime, the soldiers, who had guarded the tomb, concocted a story that Jesus’ body had been stolen by the disciples while they slept, and this was spreading in Jerusalem and causing agitation.
2. Transformed in the Upper Room
Let’s take a closer look at the scene in the upper room group of 120 frightened lambs huddled behind bolted doors – scared to even peep through the keyhole to see the agitated mob gathering again in the sacred city. It is not hard to imagine what was going through their minds. I am sure their hearts were failing them for fear; not knowing at what moment these crowds would storm the upper room and destroy them.
In this moment of great tension, something supernatural began to take place. They heard a sound of a mighty, rushing wind and suddenly they saw something like cloven tongues of fire, descending upon each one of them. They began to praise God in unknown languages, the sound piercing through all the obstructions. The Holy Spirit came upon them and they were all filled with power; the fearful Lambs became courageous and brave like Lions. They opened the door and we see them marching out into the midst of the blood-thirsty pack of wolves that were waiting to tear them apart. Truly God took away from them the spirit of timidity and fear and filled them with the power of the Holy Spirit which had conquered Satan, death; hell and the grave and they were made bold to walk into the hostile, questioning crowd.
True strength then is not in the majority. It is found in the reign of theocracy, not democracy. These men did not go out to make an apology and explain to the crowd that they had believed a lie. Instead, Peter stepped out. Peter, the unschooled Fisherman of the Galilean sea with his weather-beaten clothes smelling of sea salt, his feet stained by mud, his sunburned face now radiant. What amazes us is that this unexpected figure had more than human power, wisdom or ability, he was anointed and clothed with the power of God. He spoke boldly. God can use the base things, the foolish things and the useless things of this world to confound the mighty and to bring to naught the works of the devil.
Speaking with power and authority Peter opened his mouth and with authority and power said to this now bewildered crowd, “God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.” and “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:32, 36) This was a bolt from the blue – they were dumbfounded.
Peter, this uneducated man, began to preach and he was led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus had said, “… When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.” (John 16:13) Peter’s classic, astonishing sermon, quoting the Old Testament and proving the realities of the New Testament, giving evidence of Jesus Christ who was resurrected from the dead, brought great conviction of sin on the people.
I do not want to elaborate on the ministry of Pentecost but I want you to know that Peter’s great, inspiring theological masterpiece brought people under heavy conviction of sin and 3,000 souls were born into the kingdom on that first day of Pentecost. We cannot underrate this outstanding event that is history today, which has given birth to the greatest institution on earth – the Church. It was not built by man, it was built by Jesus Christ Himself who had said: “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” (Matthew 16:18) The Church which was birthed by the Holy Spirit lives by the Holy Spirit and it will achieve its final purpose by the Holy Spirit. The fire that purifies the forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ at his first advent, John the Baptist, told the people “I baptize you with water. …He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” (Luke3:16) It was significant to note that on the first day of Pentecost cloven tongues like fire rested upon those who were waiting and expecting the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
This phenomenal experience did something in them. I think fire is associated with this experience because it has a specific function in the life of the believer. It is true we are cleansed by the precious blood of the Lamb, but it is essential that we be also purified by the fire of God. The final cleansing of pure gold is through fire. Fire penetrates the areas which are hidden even to the natural eye. Therefore the baptism of the Holy Spirit has the important work of purifying the believer so that the Holy Spirit of God can indwell him and make his body the temple of God. This is not just a superficial experience with a natural manifestation. The real work of the Holy Spirit is to make us holy as He is holy because “without holiness, no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14)
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not an award for our holiness but it is the sanctifying power of God to make us holy, for the great function of the Holy Spirit is to form Christ within us and to manifest His attributes throughout lives by the imparting of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is of vital importance in this present day to emphasize this great work of the Holy Spirit – to make men and women to be like Jesus Christ and to become His true ambassadors.
3. Speaking in Tongues
But this experience has become superficial. Many people are not even aware that it is the Third Person of the Holy Trinity who has taken residence within, for they say ‘I have the Holy Spirit because I speak in tongues’ or ‘I have the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit’ and the spirituality of people is so superficial some even feel that if they are not knocked fat by the Holy Spirit they have not received the Holy Spirit; some feel that they must laugh their hearts out as a manifestation of the Spirit; Some feel that they must have gold dust resting upon their hands and body and others say the manifestations of God fills the cavities of their teeth with gold. How can these be an inducement to lead us into this dynamic experience?
How superficial we have become and how much we have belittled the supernatural work of the Third Person of the Trinity, making it a fad. This is the sorrowful state that believers and the church have come to. What does it mean to be filled in the Holy Spirit, with the initial physical evidence that is shown in the Scriptures? As we see in the Scriptures, they “were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” (Acts 2:4) Why is it essential to note that this is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
In James chapter 3 you find that a ship is controlled by a small rudder, a horse is controlled by a small bit and the body by the little tongue. The tongue is the smallest organ, without a bone or cartilage that is fenced behind 28 or 32 teeth, but still has great power, for with this little organ we curse and bless people. Many do not have control over this little ‘muscle’ that operates within their mouth. As the Scripture says, it can set a city on fire; it can tear people to shreds. It has done great harm to people, nations and the countries of the world.
The initial sign of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs when the Holy Spirit gets control of the human spirit, He finally subdues the tongue and it then comes under His control. Thereafter the tongue is yielded to the Spirit and it speaks in an unknown language. The brain may accuse the tongue of speaking ‘gibberish’ but the tongue is no longer in control, having yielded to the Spirit of God. The Scripture says that they “began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” (Acts 2:4)
What does speaking in tongues do to you and me? It is the most important gift because it edifies or blesses the believer forming a line of communication between the Father and His child. It is said, “… anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God.” (1 Corinthians 14:2) It is a time of talk-in mysteries which are beyond the comprehension of the natural mind. Some people belittle this experience. People would ask me “are you also like those people who foolishly jabber in tongues, not knowing what they are speaking?” If I am a fool, the Apostle Paul is the greater fool – for he said: “I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.” (1 Corinthians 14:18) He was a man who communicated with God, understood the mysteries of the Kingdom and unfolded revelation knowledge. I have seen the gifts of God – the manifestations of God – flowing through me, in casting out demons, healing the sick, solving personal and family problems, meeting great financial and other needs, and even raising the dead, but the greatest of all these miracles to me is the speaking in other tongues and having communion with the Father.
I know the devil cannot in-percept this line of communication between God and me where He unfolds to me His very thoughts. It is of vital importance for every believer to build up this wonderful line of communication with God. I cherish and relish this wonderful means of communication which also builds me up in my holy faith. The question Paul asked the Ephesians is still relevant, “have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?” If not today is the day and now is the time to continuously be filled with the Spirit.
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:18-20).

See? They’re not just bad at showing up to work on time and actually, you know, working, they suck at online security, too. What can’t millenials do? Rhetorical question aside, (the answer is everything, FYI), millennials are turning into serial screwups with stuff your company should be worried about—online security.
Your businesses’ online security is no joke, and yet in 2014, 348 million personal accounts were exposed. 594 people were affected internationally, and millenials made up almost half of that statistic. For supposedly being the most tech-savvy generation, my grandpa’s double authentication sure as hell makes them look like the security newbs they are.
Oh, but it doesn’t just stop at their personal accounts, either. This is a business article, afterall, and according to this security survey conducted by T-Systems, the root cause of poor millennial security practices in business is overconfidence. Out of the 2,000 millennial employees that were interviewed, half of the respondents considered themselves to be “very knowledgeable” about cybersecurity.
Here’s the kicker: out of every generation, millennials single-handedly have the worst password reuse habits, they accept social media invites from people they don’t know, they rank highest among employees most-likely to find security workarounds, and, in a nutshell, they don’t care about business security because it’s too time-consuming. (Software Advice, Are Millennials the Latest Security Threat?)
Let’s put that into statistical perspective, shall we?
- 85% of millennials admit to re-using credentials across sites and services.
- 16% accept social media invites from people they never met and do not know.
- 56% admitted they would “very” or “moderately likely” evade restrictive workplace controls.
- Less than 15% of millennials are interested in workplace security training.
Yay millennials! In your young and misguided attempts to save time at work by evading simple security practices, you could potentially cost your place of business and employer an average of $358 per screw-up and about 21 hours wasted in downtime and recovery.
When all is said and done, millennials care more about nostalgia-driven memes and gifs that recall a time in their life when the hardest work they had to do was go to school. And if your not emphasizing business security or employing security guidelines for your company to follow, your millennial employees sure as hell aren’t following any type of common sense protocol.
Never assume your employees are keeping your business protected, and make sure you have a legitimate security policy put in place, because the only thing worse than millenials screwing up online security are the 48% of baby boomers using their personal devices to access all those important work files. But that’s for another article entirely.

When the rich make war,
the poor are suffering
Published on 22 February 2012
Late last year, Italian authorities raided two homes as part of a two-and-a-half-year investigation (Operation Nemesis) into a gang suspected of trade in archaeological artefacts, robbery and fraud. The story was being discussed in Italy back in December, but it has only hit the English art world comparatively recently, The Art Newspaper has a brief reportonline on this story today.
Seven arrests were made and a further seven suspects are under investigation. The charges they face include criminal conspiracy, aggravated robbery, forgery of works of art, fraud and aggravated bodily injury. The thieves were caught because of their dealings with collector Marquis Roberto Bilotti Ruggi d’Aragona from Rome, who had become suspicious of his partners due to the sheer number of rare artefacts he was being offered. He finally contacted the police in April 2010 after he was assaulted and robbed by unidentified assailants who broke into his home to steal an ancient vase depicting the robing of Achilles, an artefact he had repeatedly refused to trade with the gang.
The gang was allegedly led by Edoardo David, a renowned archaeologist who often worked as a consultant for the archeological division of the Soprintendenza for the Lazio region (the local arm of Italy’s ministry of culture), and his two principal associates, Massimo Monaco, a former boxer, and Mariano Capomaggi, all of whom are being held at the Regina Coeli prison in Rome awaiting trial. Four other people are under house arrest: Enrico Corradi, an antiques dealer from Aprilia, near Rome; Massimo Bordo, a ceramics expert, and Massimiliano Congiu, both from Tarquinia, near Rome; and Enrico Diomedi, a nurse.
The Marquis, an aristocratic philanthropist and antiques collector, had hoped to expand his collection and establish his own family museum of antiquities. In the process between March 2009 and April 2010, he spent €600,000 on around 300 works which he bought from the gang. He also says that he exchanged many of his own valuable items, including family heirlooms and antique furniture, with the gang for a number of artefacts. The gang is believed to have acquired by these means more than €1m worth of items from his collection. It seems that many of the artefacts they sold the Marquis were fakes made by members of the gang.
When the police raided two properties belonging to gang members, they found a large number of antiquities, both authentic and fake. There were more than 2,000 authentic artefacts at David’s property, the investigation of their provenances is not yet complete, but some were obtained from the Marquis, and the police have identified many others as stolen. More interestingly, police also found 3,000 allegedly forged Greek and Etruscan artefacts (mostly pots it seems) ready for selling at Bordo’s property.
It is alleged that potter Bordo used methods to avoid the fakes being detected such as grinding authentic antique ceramic material and blending it with the clay from which he would then shape the artefacts. The pots were then irradiated in the X-ray machine of the Tivoli hospital near Rome (reportedly now also confiscated by the police) which was made available by nurse Enrico Diomedi. Supposedly the x-rays were intended to interfere with the outcome of any thermoluminescence testing of the modern pieces (I am not clear how this was intended to work, it would - surely - create a 'modern' date, supposedly what the forgers wanted to avoid).
Despite the length of the investigation, due to the nature of the antiquities market, police have so far been able to establish whether there are any further victims.
Much is unclear from the initial reports, the trial will presumably reveal more about the mechanism of this affair. Above all it is not clear to me what kind of transactions the Marquis d’Aragona believed he was participating in. The gang are accused of forging pots, not the accompanying documentation. Yet if the Marquis really did have plans to show off his new acquisitions in a public museum, he would have needed paperwork to confirm legal origins (even if a Marquis), OR he could have been planning to use the old "been in the family for years" ploy. Was this David's interest in swapping pots with him?
That the Marquis' pots were from a (real) old collection - with whatever implications that would have. He may have realised that some spectacular-looking pots could be traded for the more (in comparison) run-of-the-mill but authentic vessels from the collection, the marquis may have been tempted by the apparent opportunity to 'upgrade' the collection. Not being able to dig up too many genuine grave pots for the swap without attracting attention, David may have hit on the "undetectable fakes" idea and drawn in Bordo and Diomedi. I presume that the antique dealer Corradi was the shop front for the operation. Apparently he had falsely represented himself as the curator of a museum and president of a local "Archeoclub".
Footnote: The case of course produced its crop of anti-archaeological conspiracy theory in the coiney "Heartland": Peter Tompa - 'Italian Archaeologist Arrested for Fakery', Wayne Sayles - 'Archaeologists embrace forgery', Dave Welsh - 'Condoning Forgery'...

Three companies we previously previewed reported results late Wednesday or early Thursday. One of those, Lennar, missed both earnings and revenue estimates, while the other two both beat on revenues and one, Adobe, met earnings estimates and the other, Jabil, beat its earnings forecast. Both Lennar and Adobe stock traded lower early Thursday morning while Jabil traded up.
Wednesday, we previewed earnings due out after markets close Thursday and before they open on Friday: Darden Restaurants, FedEx, Rivian and Winnebago.
Here’s a look at one company that hasn’t announced an earnings date yet, but could report Friday or early next week, along with two companies that have confirmed earnings reports for Monday morning.
Bitcoin miner Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: BTBT) has not announced a date for its earnings report, but several sources expect to hear from the company either on Friday or sometime next week. The stock has added about 16% over the past 12 months, including a spike to a share price gain of around 375% in early January. In mid-November, Bit Digital filed an update on production and mining operations for its September (third) quarter indicating that the company earned 248.36 bitcoin, a sequential decline to its transfer of all its China-based mining to North America.
Only one analyst covers the firm, giving Bit Digital a Strong Buy rating. At a recent price of around $7 a share, the upside potential to the analyst’s price target of $14 is 100%.
Bit Digital is forecast to report third-quarter revenue of $19.6 million and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.14. For the 2021 fiscal year, the analyst expects EPS of $1.25 on sales of $121.7 million. Data for prior years was not available.
Bit Digital’s share price to earnings multiple for fiscal 2021 is 5.6. For fiscal 2023, the multiple to estimated EPS of $0.75 is 9.4. The stock’s 52-week range is $3.97 to $33.00. The company does not pay a dividend. Total shareholder return for the past year was 38.8%.
Blade Air Mobility Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDE) is a first mover in what some call the urban air mobility category. This includes helicopter taxi services and human organ flight services. What’s most interesting about Blade is its commitment to introduce electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) by the middle of this decade.
As of mid-September, two ARK Invest ETFs (Autonomous Technology & Robotics and Space Exploration & Innovation) owned a total of around 5.93 million shares of Blade Air stock. As of Wednesday’s close, the two funds had increased their stake in the company by more than 1 million shares. The company is set to report fourth-quarter and full fiscal year results after markets open on Monday.
All five analysts covering the stock have rated the shares a Buy or Strong Buy. At a share price of around $9.10, the upside potential based on a median price target of $15 is about 65%. At the high price target of $16, the upside potential is almost 76%. Blade Air completed a SPAC merger and came public on May 10. Since then, the stock is up more than 18%. | <urn:uuid:60dd6984-c1a5-4e76-9978-959d05dcd2fd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://247wallst.com/investing/2021/12/16/earnings-previews-bit-digital-blade-air-mobility-carnival/ | 2022-01-25T16:28:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.953888 | 704 |
Our Mission is to protect and to hand on Planet Earth to the next generation. Make sure to be part of the solution.
Everyone is talking about it. These days, avoiding discussions about climate change on media is an impossibility, unless, literally, living in a cave or underground. Even those choosing not to consume media products will be aware of it. Climate change is everywhere around us – we only need to go outdoors, spend time in nature and observe for ourselves that something is changing. Climate change skeptics may refer to natural changes in climate over longer periods of time, yet evidence based upon research indicates that we human beings are causing temperatures to rise across our globe due to burning fossil fuels, leading to increased carbon dioxide levels: NASA Earth Observatory: The Carbon Cycle
In its efforts to improve the state of the world, the UN selected climate action as one of the SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS aimed at transforming our world. A great reminder on the UNITED NATIONS DAY, 24 OCTOBER, which serves as a reminder to all nations and citizens of the world to remember our global commitment to co-operate and to fulfil these goals, all of which are equally important and interdependent. Understanding the effects of climate change upon poverty is rather simple. To learn about climate refugees, take time to read more at UNHCR: Climate Change and Disasters and, as another example, published by Scientific American, The Ominous Story of Syria´s Climate Refugees.
195 states of the world agreed upon, and signed the Paris Agreement in December 2015, legally binding countries to a global climate deal, entering into force in 2020. Needless to say, we all must realize what it takes to reach the goals. Some countries are more progressive than others, and many companies/organizations equally so. Richard Branson´s Virgin Voyages, as an inspiring example, is the first major cruise line co-operating with a re-known clean energy innovator. In Sweden, a recycling revolution takes place, with less than one per cent of household waste ending up in a rubbish dump. Examples are numerous, from small companies taking action in innovative ways, to larger enterprises, municipalities, cities and countries changing business practices and/or general policies.

For climate news, we also welcome you to follow @GCCThinkActTank and @annemariayritys on Twitter. | <urn:uuid:df491940-378a-4435-a041-c14d7335663d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://annemariayritys.com/2016/10/24/make-climate-action-your-top-priority/ | 2022-01-25T17:25:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.932817 | 508 |

Carry-over of salt-laden aerosols into flares at upstream oil and gas production sites is a potentially important driver of adverse flare emissions. However, the frequency of this occurrence at upstream production sites is unknown. Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are abundant in produced water samples and have persistent atomic emission signatures at 588/589 and 766/769 nm. A pair of spectrometer systems was developed to detect these signatures in flare flames as proof of liquid carry-over. Field measurements of 95 flares at upstream oil and gas production sites in North Dakota, Saskatchewan, and Ecuador found 72% had detectable Na or K signatures, suggesting liquid carry-over is surprisingly common. Analysis of the 76 North Dakota flares found that liquid carry-over was statistically correlated with younger wells and increased volumes of produced oil, water, gas and reported flared/vented volumes. These findings have importance implications for the likely severity of global flare emissions. | <urn:uuid:b120606d-ed4d-4cd6-803e-25216785d9b8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://curve.carleton.ca/0ebf4816-4b72-4b16-b7ae-44f329d7eaa9 | 2022-01-25T17:39:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.948363 | 201 |

Going 15 Rounds with Seymour Hersh
“I‘m having a horrible day,” grumbled Seymour Hersh, the 70 year-old Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist, arguably the most revered of his time, and reporter for the prestigious New Yorker magazine.
Almost a week before, I called Seymour Hersh on a lark trying to score an interview regarding his New Yorker article “Shifting Targets: The Administration’s plan for Iran,” an explosive piece outlining the Bush Administration’s strategic and aggressive preparation for a potential attack on Iran. When Hersh writes, everyone reads, and the world pays attention.
Fast forward one week, I’m casually sitting behind my desk with my laptop in front of me, calling Hersh’s office number to leave a message on his machine reminding him of the interview upon his return from the publicity trip.
The phone rings. It rings again. Instead of a soothing, feminine, robotic automated voice message, a surly and flustered voice answers, “Hello?”
“Why do you want an interview? Who are you again? Islamic what? Islamic? Listen, you know I did Jazeera right? Al Jazeera? They’re Muslim (pauses). Oh, God. I mean, so, so what? What, you want an interview or something? Is that what you want? I – I usually do the pimping for my pieces for 2-3 days after they’re published, but once it’s done I move on. I move on, ya’ know? That was last week. This is this week. I got a lot of reporting to do (Sigh, sounds overwhelmed). I got a lot of reporting to do.”

I love being in Epcot at festival time. It doesn't matter if it is the International Flower and Garden Festival or the International Food and Wine Festival. Either one is fine with me.
One of the favorite aspects of the former festival is the display of bonsai trees exhibited in Japan. If I am fortunate enough to visit the park during this this time, I will spend an hour or so enjoying and photography these works of art.
Sadly, I cannot tend or grow bonsai. There was a time when I would buy a tree from Mitsukoshi, bring it home, and do my best to tend it. But within six months the tree was dead. I finally gave up.
Now I simply enjoy the artistry of those who raise these treasures. | <urn:uuid:8f872723-5ee9-4f2c-a14b-5305eacef03f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://disneyobsession.blogspot.com/2017/07/ | 2022-01-25T17:23:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.976748 | 157 |

Visibility in facilities management stimulates value creation and builds C-Suite-Facilities Manager Trust.
Take a moment to think about your existing facilities management department. Can you name your top costs? Do you know what equipment is going to need to be repaired or replaced within the next week, month, quarter or year? Is this information readily available to stakeholders? These questions reflect the importance of visibility in facilities management, and lacking the information to answer these questions will build a cloud of suspicion between your department and members of the C-Suite. However, visibility and facilities management can encourage collaboration between your team and the C-Suite in these key ways.
Data Integration Provides Greater Accuracy in Facilities Spend Forecasting
Data integration between existing and new systems can provide greater accuracy in facilities spend forecasting. Otherwise known as capital planning, a cornerstone of obtaining and maintaining C-suite support for smart building solutions’ implementation and maintenance. Bringing disparate systems together can also give access to relevant, appropriate information to all members of your organization, including members of the C-Suite. By leveraging historical and real-time data, forecasting and capital planning are tighter and less likely to result in over or under budgeting, explains FM Link.
Data Helps Facilities Managers Understand Strategic View Within the Portfolio
The use of data analytics and smart building solutions can also help facilities managers understand the true strategic view of smart building solutions and visibility in facilities management throughout an entire portfolio. Since stakeholders are interested in enterprise-wide benefits, value creation and predictable outcomes, facilities managers that use data to pinpoint their role and impact on the strategic vision of the company can also gain the trust and support of the C-suite, as well as take advantage of better collaboration between the C-suite and the facilities management team.
Blending of Automated and Traditional Systems Prevents Organizational Silos
The blending of automated and traditional systems, such as older HVAC systems and retrofitted systems with smart sensors, will help prevent organizational silos within data and facilities management. Instead of facilities managers responsible for a single location, they can oversee multiple locations, and C-suite executives can access this information in real-time and provide support and advice at their discretion. This effectively reduces the risk for misunderstandings between the C-suite and facilities management team members.
Collaboration Begets Three Key Points of Gaining C-Suite Confidence
To obtain the confidence of the C-suite, facilities managers must demonstrate an thorough understanding of human capital and talent management, operational excellence and use of innovation in all decisions. Empowered with modern, smart building solutions, facilities managers can provide these three keys to obtaining and maintaining confidence with the C Suite.
Gain the Ears of the C-Suite Through Collaboration and Visibility
Imagine how great it would feel to have the full support of the C-suite in your facilities management department. Now, consider how the standards could change when the facilities management department and members of the C-suite work together in tandem to reduce risks and increase cost-savings across your portfolio. Gain the years of the C-Suite, and build confidence in your team with these best practices.

Only one minute walk from JR Ogikubo Station brings you to B-Pump Climbing Gym, where you can experience the bouldering sensation. Bouldering is an activity in which you climb up and over artificial “rocks” on a 4-5 meter wall. On the wall, lots of colorful holds in different sizes are attached to give plenty of options for your climb path.
When you enter the spacious room with its colorful obstacle course-like walls, you might feel as if you were in a different world. Men, women, and children of all ages enjoy bouldering at B-Pump, and the climbing gym has also become very popular among foreign visitors, particularly those from Korea. It’s a great place to make international friends with people who share the same interest.
The above information is for a climbing trial experience. Experienced climbers and those who would like to come regularly will pay a registration fee of 2,200 yen, and then the per-session fee varies depending on time. For instance for students and children the fee ranges from 1,110 yen to 1,650 yen. For adults the fee ranges from 1,430 yen to 1,980 yen. You can rent shoes (220 yen) and chalk powder (110 yen) to prevent slipping, so it’s similar to bowling in that you don’t have to bring your own equipment, however, if you would like some there is a shop where lots of bouldering items are available.

Sick or Absent
Any time a student is absent or needs to be dismissed from school, it is the responsibility of the parent to call the Attendance Office to verify the student's absence within 48 hours.
Dismissal from School
If your child needs to be dismissed from school, please call the Attendance Office and a pass will be given to the student.
Regular school attendance is of the utmost importance during a student’s high school career. A primary goal of the Kearney Public Schools is to prepare students for successful transitions throughout life. The world waiting for our students after high school demands that they be present and on-time to their work obligations. Kearney High School attendance rules have been developed to emphasize the importance of each student being in the classroom for the entire block, as well as arriving on time to school every day.
THE LAW: COMPULSORY EDUCATION AND TRUANCY
The state mandates that students attend school from age 6 to age 18.
If a student’s absence is not excused, the student may not receive credit for any classwork missed during the absence and may be required to make up work and the time missed.
Any administrator, teacher, or member of the Board of Education who knows of any failure on the part of any child of mandatory school attendance age to attend school regularly without lawful reason, shall within three days, report such violation to the Superintendent or such person(s) who the Superintendent designates to be the attendance officer. The Superintendent or attendance officer shall immediately cause an investigation into any such report to be made. The Superintendent or attendance officer shall also investigate any case when, with personal knowledge or by report or complaint from any resident of the district, the Superintendent or attendance officer believes there is a violation of the compulsory attendance law. The school shall render all services in its power to compel such child to attend some public, private, denominational, or parochial school, which the person having control of the child shall designate, in an attempt to address the problem of excessive absenteeism. Such services shall include, as appropriate, the services listed under the “Excessive Absenteeism” and “Reporting Excessive Absenteeism” sections of this Rule.
Students who accumulate four (4) “not excused” absences in a quarter shall be deemed to have “excessive absences”. Such absences shall be determined on a per-class basis for secondary students. When a student has excessive absences, the following procedures shall be implemented:
- Written communication by school officials with the person(s) who have a legal or actual charge or control of any child; and
- One or more meetings between the school (attendance officer, school administrator or his/her designee, and/or social worker), the child’s parent or guardian, and the child, when appropriate, to address the barriers to attendance. The result of the meeting(s) shall be to develop a collaborative plan to reduce barriers identified to improve regular attendance. The plan shall consider, but not be limited to:
(i) Illness related to the physical or behavioral health of the child;
(ii) Educational counseling;
(iii) Educational evaluation;
(iv) Referral to community agencies for economic services;
(v) Family or individual counseling; and
(vi) Assisting the family in working with other community agencies.
If the parent or guardian refuses to participate in such meeting, the principal shall place in the child’s attendance records documentation of such refusal. The school social work has access to various community programs so those will be offered and acceptance/rejection documented. Refusal to cooperate may lead to a truancy referral.
GENERAL ATTENDANCE RULES
Classifications of Absences
The Nebraska Department of Education created a two-category classification system for absences, which KHS will follow:
- Excused: Any of the following circumstances that lead to an absence will be identified as a School Excused absence, provided the required attendance procedures have been followed: (a) Impossible or impracticable barriers outside the control of the parent or child which prevent a student from attending school. The parents must provide the school with documentation to demonstrate the absence was beyond the control of the parent or child. This could include but is not limited to documented illness, court, death of a family member, or suspension. (b) Other absences as determined by the principal or the principal’s designee.
- Not excused: Absences that are not school excused may result in a report to the County Attorney and may be classified as follows: (a) Parent-acknowledged absences are those in which the parent communicated with the school in the prescribed manner that the child is absent and is the parent’s responsibility for the extent of the school day. This includes, but is not limited to, illness, vacations, and medical appointments. (b) Other absences are those in which the parent has not communicated the reason for the student’s absence.
PLEASE NOTE: All absences, excused or not excused, count against the total for “excessive absences”. When a student accumulates 20 days or more worth of excessive absences they will be referred to the County Attorney Attendance Office. The Attendance Officer will review the case and determine if the family has violated the compulsory attendance law.
Any time a student is absent from school, it is the responsibility of the parent to call the attendance office (698-8065) to verify the student's absence within 48 hours. Failure to excuse a student's absence may result in school consequences and/or loss of school privileges. The Kearney High School Attendance Office will attempt to notify all students' families regarding periods of absence via telephone and email two times a day (12:00 pm and 4:00 pm). Families wishing to avoid any inconvenience by the school's automated notification system or a call to a place of business should call the Staff & Student Support Office (698-8065) by 8:00 am to report the student's absence. The Staff & Student Support Office prefers to speak to the parents of students directly but will accept written notes (hard copy or electronic) excusing the student's absence.
Late Work / Make-Up Work
No matter the reason, if a student has missed any type of schoolwork, the course assignments MUST be made up, unless the teacher gives an alternate assessment/assignment. If tests and quizzes have been assigned prior to the absence, students can be required to take them as soon as they return to school. Students will be granted one day for each day absent (maximum of 7 days) to make up work for full credit. After this time, partial credit may be earned based on teacher discretion. Students and parents should refer to the teacher’s classroom syllabus for detailed information regarding late / make-up work.
Checking In or Out of School
Students who return from a prearranged absence must immediately go to the Attendance Office and receive a pass before reporting to class, including if entering or exiting the door to the west lot. A student who needs to leave for any reason must sign out from the Attendance Office prior to leaving school. Failure to do so may result in an unexcused absence.
Pursuant to Nebraska law [see “The Law: Compulsory Education and Truancy” above], Kearney High School has established limits on the number of absences a student may accumulate throughout a grading term. These excessive absence limits are enforced on a “per-class”, “per-grading term” basis. The excessive absence limits are as follows:
These days should be thought of as a bank of days to be used for illness, family emergencies, religious retreats, holidays, and family trips. Excused absences—including medical absences--and not excused absences contribute to a student’s excessive absence count.
The principal shall have the discretion to deny approval for any of the foregoing reasons, depending on the circumstances, such as a student’s number of other absences, the student’s academic status, the tests or other projects which may be missed; and in the case of a family trip, whether the trip could be taken during the non-school time and the educational nature of the trip.
Excessive /Unexcused Absences Procedure and Notification
- All students who are not excused from a class period will receive an automated phone call and email at 1 pm and 4 pm on a daily basis.
- Parents will have 48 hours to excuse the absence by making a phone call to the school and providing supporting documentation to verify the unexcused absence. After 48 hours, the absence will remain not excused.
- Teachers are expected to visit with the students after the THIRD unexcused absence.
- Teachers will be responsible for contacting parents after the student accumulates FOUR unexcused absences. For students who exceed 4 unexcused absences, a letter will be sent to parents/guardians notifying them that their child’s name may be turned over to the county attorney for truancy and that they are close to being placed into No Credit Status.
Kearney High School will mail letters home to parents when a student has reached FOUR unexcused absences in a term in a specific class. The letter will notify the parents that their child is at risk of failing and will outline the process of what will happen if the student continues down the path of non-attendance. Additionally, teachers must call home and explain our no-credit process and seek assistance for regular daily attendance. If a SIXTH unexcused absence occurs in that class, teachers will notify the administration and the administrator or designee will notify parents of their child being placed in no-credit status. Within seven days, a meeting will be called possibly involving the student, parent(s)/guardian, counselor/social worker, teacher, and administrator to develop a plan going forward. The student and parent(s)/guardian will have an opportunity to explain why they have accumulated 6 or more unexcused absences to school. This applies to every class the student is enrolled in. Failure to comply with this meeting will result in an automatic loss of credit at the end of the term.
A tardy is a failure by a student to be in the assigned classroom when the tardy bell rings. Tardy students should report directly to class. Teachers will record tardies in the District Student Information System. If students are seen loitering in the school without a pass, they will be escorted to their assigned classroom by school personnel. Classroom teacher will assign consequences for tardies 1-5, 7-8, 10-11 & 13-14. Tardies at intervals of three (6, 9, 12, and 15) to school or to any class equates to an office referral and the student will be assigned administrative detention(s).
Number of Tardies and Consequences:
Tardies 1-5, 7-8, 10-11 & 13-14: Phone call home from teacher and teacher assigned detention before or after school.
6th Tardy: Referral to office, a phone call home, and administrative detention assigned.
9th Tardy: Referral to office, a phone call home, and two (2) administrative detentions assigned.

Tuesday / Thursday School allows students the opportunity to complete consequences for disciplinary infractions that might normally result in suspension from school. This alternative educational program provides students the opportunity to attend school full-time and take advantage of the education regular school attendance affords. It also gives students the opportunity to complete work usually completed at home. All school rules apply to students while in attendance. Failure to attend your assigned Tuesday / Thursday School may result in an out of school suspension (length of suspension to be determined by the number of repeated violations). | <urn:uuid:904bc9f2-0e6b-463e-9a6e-84bec9709477> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://khs.kearneypublicschools.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1685730&type=d&pREC_ID=1841435 | 2022-01-25T16:44:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.939719 | 2,610 |
Integrated Platform Management System at Heart of Cooperation
On 4 February L3 Technologies announced it will be collaborating with BAE Systems Power and Propulsion Team by providing its Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) SEA5000 programme.
L3 will provide the IPMS, as well as Controls and Instrumentation (C&I) for the nine Type 26 GLOBAL COMBAT SHIPs (GCS) proposed for SEA5000. A government procurement decision is expected in April or May this year, with gross programme value estimated at around A$35 billion (US$27 billion).
The IPMS provides integrated monitoring and control of warship propulsion, electrical, auxiliary and damage control machinery and systems, along with advanced functionality such as onboard training and equipment health monitoring. The IPMS will be implemented in Australia through L3 supported by Australian industry, using technology from L3 MAPPS units based in Canada and the UK.
“This is an excellent example of Australian industry collaboration and innovation to deliver a world-leading solution to the Royal Australian Navy,” commented L3 Technologies Australia’s Managing Director, Alan Titheridge. “This teaming will achieve unrivalled Australian Industrial Capability (AIC) in this niche domain.”
“The proposed system shares its core technology with more than 200 naval ships in 22 different navies, and we are pleased to support BAE’s proposal for SEA5000 with such leading-edge technology,” added Rangesh Kasturi, President of L3 MAPPS.
With a successful SEA5000 bid, L3 will be part of a team prepared to offer power and propulsion solutions for naval shipbuilding programs around the world. | <urn:uuid:dee65e1a-da0d-4089-b901-f106416617d1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://monch.com/l3-and-bae-systems-collaborate-on-ran-sea5000-programme/ | 2022-01-25T16:30:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.929543 | 362 |
Angry protesters outside the Cranshaw family home demand an apology.
Millions of well-meaning adults and one broken-hearted child were left scarred and devastated yesterday after a photograph of a boy holding up a sign reading “I’VE LOST MY BATTLE WITH CANCER” was accidentally “liked” by 930,014,285 – roughly one-seventh of the world’s population – on Facebook.
“Why would they do this to me?” wondered an incredulous Nicholas Cranshaw, 7, of Vancouver.
“I’ve got six weeks left on this planet – is this really how people want me to remember it?”
Michelle Tracey, 36, of Edmonton has been crying non-stop since casually “liking” the picture of the grim-faced boy and his stuffed rabbit during her afternoon coffee break.
“Anybody who knows me knows that I totally HATE cancer,” she pleaded.
“It’s just… couldn’t he have been a bit more clear with his wording? I mean… I only have minutes on my coffee break to get through my entire Facebook feed . And having to interpret every post just takes so long. I really thought I was doing the right thing.”
Legions of panicking, guilt-stricken adults reached out to the Cranshaw family, desperate to apologize.
“Totally unacceptable,” wrote back Mom, in a press release.
“The Cranshaw family wishes to apologize to the Adult Community for Nicholas’s confusing and inappropriate wording. We have taken the liberty of registering him in a Social Media Sensitivity Workshop. The course will take up four of his remaining six weeks. That will give him plenty of time to reflect upon the seriousness of his error.”
While most in the Adult Community begged for forgiveness, Glen Arnold, 47, of Fredericton was having nothing of it. In a press release of his own, he described himself as “miffed”.
“Since joining Facebook in 2007, I’ve “liked” 73 different photographs of children who were actually able to beat cancer.”
“I stand by my record.”

It has become more of a challenge for lenders to stay abreast of compliance than ever before with the Dodd-Frank Act and the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau (CFPB). There has always been a cost associated with compliance, but the unprecedented quantity of recent regulation in conjunction with a new regulator has created an entirely new landscape for the mortgage industry. The mortgage industry quickly became an industry overwhelmed with compliance rules and as a result, the cost to adhere to new, constantly changing rules has skyrocketed costs.
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) has said independent mortgage banks and mortgage subsidiaries of chartered banks reported an average of $743 per loan profit in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $1,528 for each loan originated in the second quarter of 2013. The average production income fell from 75 basis points to 38, marking the fourth consecutive quarter that productions profits have declined.
It is clear that lenders must find ways to operate more efficiently to drive down costs and bring back profitability. One strategy is to leverage technology that incorporates data products like automated valuation models (AVMs), collateral analytics and automated review. These types of products not only save time, but allow lenders to understand what is actually going on in their collateral valuation process.
An AVM is a tool that produces an instant real estate value. AVMs use mathematical modeling to value properties utilizing large amounts of data available from various sources. The majority of AVMs compare the values of similar properties at the same point in time. Over the past decade AVMs have been used sparingly by lenders due to their dependence on public records data, which in some cases has resulted in inconsistent results. Most lenders would limit the use of AVMs to prequalifying the borrower’s property. Today, however, AVMs tap into richer, reliable data sources like those found in Multiple Listing Services (MLS). These MLS powered AVMs are effective, efficient and an essential tool for staying competitive. AVMs can accelerate processes, minimize risk and reduce costs.
Lenders have greatly increased their use of AVMs to confirm property value and streamline the lending process by utilizing AVMs as a solid property value screen in home-equity lending. As the market has grown, so has the number of commercially available AVMs. Each AVM has different performance characteristics, geographic coverage, and confidence scores. To achieve the most potent risk management, lenders must leverage a provider that offers various data products to achieve the best performance of the AVMs they use.
The bottom line is that using AVMs is an effective way to reduce costs, increase profitability and help mitigate risk. However, you have to look for an AVM that has advanced past the older AVM model the industry is used to, which generally relied on less data to value properties. Instead, look for an AVM that is backed by a robust data set that now takes into account more data elements that help considerably in more accurate and constantly valuing a property. Many of today’s popular AVM providers have partnered with other complimentary vendors like appraisal management technology to add even more efficiencies to your daily workflow.

But short of stripping draft picks or prohibiting Los Angeles from signing George, every penalty was going to seem tolerable for the Lakers. Not even the maximum allowable fine – $5 million, per the NBA’s constitution – would have shocked the system.
Did the Pacers – who requested the NBA’s investigation and since traded George to the Thunder for a paltry return – approve of the penalty? Pacers owner Herb Simon was considering suing the NBA and Lakers, according to Peter Vecsey.
It’s a little odd the Pacers responded so strongly to an isolated report from a rumormonger. I certainly don’t mind them setting the record straight, but most teams would just let an erroneous report like that pass by.
I wonder whether the Pacers regret initiating the investigation. Everyone tampers, and now the Pacers will be under the microscope. They might be the one team that can’t tamper for a bit. This statement could be an attempt to remove the counterproductive badge of being the team that broke ranks to complain about tampering. | <urn:uuid:a4828fb9-7edd-4118-bb47-4ed741252ba1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://nba.nbcsports.com/2017/09/06/pacers-vow-not-to-sue-nba-lakers/ | 2022-01-25T18:07:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.930748 | 221 |
Companies are put in a position to systematically show political shapers and decision-makers the market-economy limits of political intervention and to demand a pragmatic, solution-oriented debate. Regulation is an instrument of politics to normatively influence the behavior of companies and consumers. Keywords here are "social economics" or "nudging". This type of behavior-based regulation is gaining more and more influence in policy-making. Such effects are presented in the "Regulatory Impact Assessments", which are also becoming increasingly relevant.
The British government had already created an institution in 2010, the „Behavioural Insights Team“, to push for behavior-based regulation to improve government policy and government services. In the USA, the White House in 2013 launched the „Social and Behavioral Sciences Initiative” All regulatory authorities are required to conduct an evidence-based review of all policy proposals. And the German government has also installed a team of behavioral economists in the Chancellery in 2014 to modernize German policy approaches accordingly.
In May 2015, the European Commission also adopted new guidelines and a reform package (REFIT - Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme) with the „Better regulation for better results – An EU Agenda“. According to this, in future impact assessments („Regulatory Impact Assessments“) are to be carried out throughout the entire legislative process. Parliament and Council are explicitly requested to subject substantial amendments they propose in the legislative process to their own impact assessments.
At the same time, the importance of the one-sided arguments put forward by companies regarding their being affected is declining. Losses in jobs or in value creation are accepted especially in industries with a problematic reputation for the protection of consumers or the environment. In contrast, economic interdependencies and systemic effects on society as a whole are more important.
This is why progressive companies, inspired by the method of "Regulatory Impact Assessment", are moving towards a holistic approach to regulation as such and asking whether a measure is suitable for changing framework conditions in such a way that the associated goals are effectively achieved in the market economy reality.
In contrast to mere opinion debates, such discussions are based on evidence. The advantage here is who can present better founded scenarios, why a measure works or not works to what extent.
In this way, companies are put in a position to face politics at eye level in the area of "regulatory economics". | <urn:uuid:da268fc0-cedb-4dd8-9b3e-6280bd9242ee> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://pivot.re/en/regulierungsmanagement/ | 2022-01-25T16:47:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.939271 | 492 |
During the summer months of June through August, vacationers are met with an unexpected natural treasure as they stroll the secluded sands of Playa Las Tortugas beach on balmy starlit nights. We share our pristine sands with the beautiful Olive Ridley sea turtles during this season as the mothers carry out their centuries-old ritual of laying up to 100 eggs in large self-made nests along the secluded shoreline. Catching a glimpse of these rare ancient sea creatures is an experience not soon forgotten.
Weighing up to 100 pounds and spanning nearly 2 feet in length, these mama turtles have their burden lightened by our volunteers who harvest their recently laid shell-clad offspring, granting sanctuary to these incubating tortugitas until they hatch into their next phase in life. Our turtle camp grants these endangered animals much-needed protection from the threat of animal and human predators who often raid their nests for the coveted sea turtle eggs. | <urn:uuid:5231c636-9a33-4a21-907e-76ba91bb55ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://playalastortugas.com/activities/sea-turtle-camp/egg-collection/ | 2022-01-25T17:48:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.956685 | 193 |
It would be helpful to be able to select one or more person(s) where you can delegate approvals to. For people on vacation it would be very handy to select someone to take care of their approvals when they are on vacation.
Thanks for the suggestion, this is a good idea.
I sincerely hope this is on the Feature Enhancements list for the MS team. I have a pretty intense approval workflow created for Change Requests, and knowing the whole thing will get bottle-necked if someone goes on vacation is giving me serious anxiety. lol
Love the idea, indeed needed.
I see 2 scenarios:
- person does not respond / is out of office
- person actively delegates the decision
Here is the deal: I am approver, I need to go vacations or have to leave for any given reason so I need someone to take over in my absence but I don't want that everyone using Flow has to setup a delegate whenever my approval is needed.
So the idea is that the Approval Center get a "Redirect/Delegate All" config where each approval receiver user have the ability to setup where to redirect all the incoming approvals.
That simple, a centrilized place to setup your delegate.
Why is not already in the approval center MS?
My thoughts exactly. It will be even more powerful and versatile if the person can setup its delegate at his approval center so it is applicable for all the incoming approvals. I created an idea for that one too: Approval Center - Delegate All Config
Agree with @theChantos, this is much needed. This is a great idea, and I've made similar posts here and here. Approvals in general needs more of this type of functionality to support real-life business cases such as people going on leave/being away sick/leaving an organisation!
Looking at using flow and approvals to automate process in our Org - this is a must, otherwise when someone goes on leave the approvals get stalled!
Is this updated now? Can't seem to find the options here. Would love to have this feature as well as soon as possible...
This is a very useful Feature !Any updates on this please ?
Excellent Suggestion !
I have it gets added tothe Flow Roadmap !
I have three separate automation requests where delegation of an approval is a requirement. This is badly needed here.

Emerging Manager Monthly: RVX Finds Institutional Traction With Diversified Approach
RVX Equity Fund Leading Diversified Product Approach
Emerging Manager Monthly, February 2020
RVX Asset Management’s emerging markets equity strategy has gained institutional traction in recent years, leading the firm’s diversified product approach.
CIO Raymond Zucaro launched the Aventura, Fla.-based firm in 2015 with its flagship RVX Global Opportunity Fund, which invests in emerging markets via credit, equity and derivative products across the capital structure, but always knew he wanted RVX to be able to offer a diversified product lineup to allow for multiple avenues of growth.
The firm has grown to roughly $300 million overall across several products including the hedge fund, emerging markets all-cap, emerging markets small-cap and emerging markets corporate fixed-income strategies.
“We’ve been able to get some nice mandates and a diversification of clientele,” Founder and CIO Raymond Zucaro said. “The thesis ever since I started the firm was to have diversification of strategies and clientele.”
Leading the firm in the charge for mandates has been the emerging markets equity strategy, which was launched following the additions of Managing Partners indy New and Robin Kollannur from Mercator Asset Management in 2016. The pair have worked together since 2011.
The all-cap strategy boasts mandates with the Alameda County (Calif.) Employees Retirement Association through emerging manager-of-managers Bivium Capital Partners and the New York State Teachers Retirement System through FIS Group, the latter of which was awarded in November, said Todd Jessup, director of institutional client services.
“Our system is the star,” Kollannur said. “It’s the investment process that really drives our country and sector allocations. We have spent a lot of time enhancing our screening process, which is very unemotional and unbiased. Where our collective experience comes in is the fundamental analysis portion, after we analyze our screening results.”
“The unique part of our toolset comes from having both debt and equity emerging market products under one umbrella, and the collaboration between our xperienced team members,” Zucaro said.
“You’re never going to see us doing Chicago municipal bonds. That’s a stretch because it’s outside of what we do, but if it’s in emerging markets it’s in the capabilities of what we do. We have no problem,” he added.
On the equity side, the all-cap and relative value aspects have provided our strategy with a differentiating factor compared to its competitors, New said.
“For example, a lot of other deep value managers may not have a lot of exposure to many technology companies, but in our relative ranking methodology, we’ll consider some technology or other typically expensive sectors when they look inexpensive.”
The firm’s emerging markets equity strategy tends to be more concentrated than the average emerging markets manager with a stated range of 25 to 50 stocks and low turnover, Kollannur said.
“On the average we’ve been holding our names for two or three years,” he added. “We take a very long-term view on the company.”
Zucaro notes that there are plenty of names in emerging markets on both the equity and debt sides and that signals from team members on different strategies can benefit RVX more broadly.
“We look at the same companies and earnings,” he said. “The idea is we’re all looking at the same company, but let’s look at it in different ways and let’s make sure we’re not missing a signal…and any negative repercussions because of it.”
In addition to the all-cap equity strategy, the firm also has an emerging markets small-cap strategy that hold roughly 50 to 70 names and the goal of securing its first institutional mandate this year, Jessup said.
The emerging manager-of-managers community has been a significant resource for RVX to this point in the firm’s lifetime, according to Jessup, particularly at a stage when other allocators have been less inclined to commit to RVX because of its size.
“We’ve had a tremendous amount of interest, however with no live assets and running a model portfolio many people liked what they heard and saw but said they wanted to track us for a while until we gained some traction. It was a wait and see attitude from them,” Jessup said.
In addition to the all-cap equity mandates, the firm had also recently secured an investment in the corporate fixed-income strategy with emerging
manager-of-managers Progress Investment Management Company through the State Universities Retirement System of Illinois, though the plan is in the midst of replacing Progress as a result of the firm’s impending closure later this year.
“It’s been a slower road than we anticipated, but we believe the momentum’s started and we’re looking forward to it. We will continue to utilize the [emerging manager-of-managers] space because we’re true believers in it and think [the firm’s success] would have been even more difficult without it,” Jessup said.
Jessup said that the firm would likely cap its all-cap equity and emerging markets debt strategies at roughly $3 billion each, the emerging markets small-cap strategy at $1 billion and the hedge fund at $500 million.
While the firm’s success across strategies has helped move the needle with growing, Jessup noted that developing that pipeline in the current institutional fundraising landscape remains an incremental process.
“As your relationships grow, funding starts coming in, and you begin to build a live track record, if that record is good people start calling you in addition to your own outreach efforts. It grows on itself and that is what you hope for,” Jessup said. “However, while it’s certainly very beneficial to meet certain thresholds, as more entities become interested in you, it’s not like an automatic domino effect where clearing one hurdle automatically begets the next. Nothing’s quick in this business anymore.” | <urn:uuid:71200b4c-137a-49ef-adce-67760b016ad9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://rvx-am.com/emerging-manager-monthly-rvx-finds-institutional-traction-with-diversified-approach/ | 2022-01-25T16:44:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.953451 | 1,329 |

Self-driving race cars are a few years away but why not simulate the roar of robotic Formula 1 cars with a little Raspberry Pi magic?
The folks at Piborg are offering the opportunity for hackers and makers to try and drive their own autonomous car brain in a centralized race. They’ve launched a Kickstarter and they’re looking for folks to download the autonomous racing code, modify it, and then race their code against other Raspberry Pi-based vehicles.
$40 gets you a customizable “lid” that will contain the car’s brains. Your mission is to program the car to run the race as quickly as possible while avoiding other cars. Multiple cars with programs from all around the world with complete in a set of exciting, nerdy races.
The cars run on the Zeroborg motor platform and will race on a dedicated track with laser-controlled finishing line.
Obviously this isn’t as exciting as crashing massive cars together at Robo La Mans but I suspect the folks who win at these mini races will soon be programming bigger and better cars. | <urn:uuid:320f981c-4e87-49b9-847f-35599097a952> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/26/program-your-own-self-driving-racer-with-formulapi/ | 2022-01-25T16:15:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.944668 | 222 |

Technology, intelligent buildings, energy-saving systems – these are some ideas that come to mind when we hear the term “sustainable city.” However, this concept covers far beyond the construction sector.
A sustainable city does not only have the proper infrastructure, but also has integrated all actors of society to increase productivity and improve quality of life without sacrificing the welfare of the planet.
The five factors:
- Efficient and safe infrastructure
- Sustainability education
- Business innovation in responsible products and services
- Ecological culture
- Technological employment in favor of the environment
Costa Rica has time and time again been ranked as one of the most sustainable countries on the planet, but there is still work to be done. In 2014, San Jose joined the Emerging and Sustainable Cities Program (ESC), the Inter-American Development Bank’s technical assistance program which provides direct support to national and sub-national governments in the development and execution of city “Action Plans.”
ESC employs a multidisciplinary approach to identify, organize and prioritize urban interventions to tackle the main roadblocks that prevent the sustainable growth of emerging cities in Latin America and the Caribbean. This transversal approach is based on three pillars: environmental and climate change sustainability, urban sustainability, and fiscal sustainability and governance.
Then, at the end of 2015, downtown San Jose celebrated urban sustainability with forums on intelligent cities, an Urban Rally, and a concert. This event was hosted by Costa Rica’s Center for Urban Sustainability. The director, San Gil, gave this quote during the event:
The principal objective is to make a better life in the cities for the people. This can be done from the themes of culture to those of public spaces, from trash management to transportation, from water to local economy. We want to take it a step further than this notion that sustainability is simply to be ‘green’ and work the other colors of the city that need attention too.
“There is a principle that human beings still fail to internalize: nature does not generate waste. What is scrap for one kingdom is taken advantage of by another. Ants have very complex sociological systems. It is worth considering how we can take advantage of everything,” said Kenneth Ochoa, Environmental Engineer at El Bosque University of Colombia.
A sustainable city has various elements that can be considered in such a way; for example, infrastructure and soft knowledge, according to Ana Quiros, president of the Council of Green Construction of Costa Rica (GBC-CR).
The first comprises not only the support systems of the buildings, but also streets, parks, treatment systems, and energy supply, among others. An important issue is mobility. It also includes the ergonomics of offices. This not only refers to energy efficiency, but also adequate conditions for workers, contributing to their quality of life and greater competitiveness. Some suggestions are better lighting and natural ventilation.
Soft knowledge properly refers to the lifestyles of a society, from how one takes advantage of infrastructure to the way in which the population does or does not demand sustainability. In this aspect, the information possessed by a society comes into play. Education campaigns and interfaces make any system operational and able to achieve greater competitiveness.
Furthermore, a sustainable city is closely linked to the positive impact of three dimensions of sustainable development: the social, economic, and environmental.
On the part of social development, it aims to close the gaps of inclusion and poverty, improving access of the whole population to all development opportunities. This is especially important for vulnerable populations, such as refugees and people with disabilities. In addition, this aspect encompasses issues of gender equality.
With regard to the economic dimension, one of the issues of greatest relevance is competitiveness. This implies redefining the role of the private sector, which should be committed to sustainable development and innovative new products and services that favor the environment. Economic development also comprises initiatives related to the promotion of responsible linkages by business leaders and just practices of operation derived from the norm ISO 26000.
Lastly, environmental development implies all actions that are proposed to mitigate the city’s environmental footprint and promote positive consequences for the environment. Examples include raw material replacement for others with less impact and recycling and reduction, among other initiatives. | <urn:uuid:5c880f4a-b0ba-4205-8350-98be53cff563> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://thecostaricanews.com/how-to-become-a-sustainable-city/ | 2022-01-25T17:23:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.945776 | 885 |
Visitors from around the world come to swim in Miami Beach’s tropical waters, experience the famed nightlife, and attend world renowned events like Art Basel and Ultra Music Festival. As one of the state and county’s most profitable industries, tourism revenues are essential to a healthy economy in Miami-Dade County, according to a recent Analysis of Current Economic Trends by the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory & Economic Resources.
More people are coming to Miami than ever before, according to MiamiDade.gov, as last year Miami International Airport carried more than 40 million passengers, setting a new annual record. Add to that the 4.8 million multi-day travelers who took cruises leaving from PortMiami. While many are just passing through, 14.6 million visitors stayed for at least one night in the Greater Miami area in 2014, spending money on lodging and shopping and visiting sights from Lincoln Road to the Everglades. For the first 9 months of 2015, visitation has been up by 7%, according to Rolando Aedo, senior vice president of marketing and tourism at the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The where and why
“Of people visiting Miami-Dade County, roughly half of all visitors are international, and half domestic. By percentage, we have more international visitors than any other part of the country,” according to Aedo. “I emphasize that because international travelers stay a lot longer, and spend more money, and that fuels a lot of other industries in terms of economic impact in Miami.”
Last year, South Americans made up the majority of Miami’s international visitors, with Brazil leading the pack, followed by Canada, Colombia, Argentina, and Germany in that order. Domestically, most tourists came from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Atlanta, in that order. And one in four visitors came to Miami for the first time, according to a 2014 report by the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.
“We’ve hosted a mix of people from all over. We’ve had people from Paris, Toronto, Lima, Taiwan, Germany, Latvia and people from the U.S.,” said Ed Hill, a Pinecrest resident who uses Airbnb to rent out a room in his home. “Right now we have someone from Brazil staying with us.”
Most people who visited Miami did so for leisure and vacation purposes. This means that they were spending more money on hotels, restaurants, and recreational activities, with the most visited areas in South Beach, beaches in general, and Lincoln Road.
“We think of tourists as people coming to the beach, but we see more and more people coming to take advantage of the shopping, especially people from Latin America who want to buy things they can’t get at home,” Hill said. “A lot of people also want to go to the Everglades or go diving in the Florida Keys.”
Tourists spent an average of $279.48 a day and stayed an average of 5.86 nights. With total spending averaging $1,637.75 per person per visit, tourists spent an estimated $23.8 billion while visiting Miami, the majority spent on shopping and lodging.
When compared to other hotel markets around the world, Miami fared fifth in the country in terms of occupancy throughout the year, with a 78.3% occupancy rate — at least 10% greater than the state and national average.
“In our peak season, which starts in early December with Art Basel and goes through March, our average occupancy rate is about 80%,” according to May Mallouh, chief operating officer of The Vagabond Hotel in the Upper East Side. The Vagabond’s hotel and restaurant employs roughly 90 people year round. “We don’t adjust staffing a whole lot throughout the year — but in the busier season we might add extra housekeeping or front desk hours,” May said.
The tourism industry helps to diversify Miami’s investment portfolio, employing a significant number of people in the county, with 11.9% of all employees in Miami-Dade working in hospitality and leisure.
Changing the economy and the culture
“I think we all agree that tourism is Greater Miami’s No. 1 industry. It generates a huge amount of taxes which are reinvested into many of the city and state’s major projects,” Aedo said.
While tourism undoubtedly impacts the region’s economy, it also changes the political and cultural landscape of a city, according to tourism anthropologist, Dr. Kathleen Adams, a professor at Loyola University Chicago.
“Tourism can transform the way in which a local resident views their surroundings — by marking off spaces as ‘special’ through crafting narratives about those places, locals can appreciate those surroundings with new eyes,” she said. In this way, locals “come to feel a sense of local regional or ethnic pride and these are positive dynamics.”
At times, tourist interest in places can even prompt the preservation of a culture or city, as in Indonesia’s South Sulawesi highland cities, where increased tourism opened the door for the region to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, “transforming the area into a point of pride,” Adams added.
In the last 6 months, the GMCVB has begun promoting exploration into Miami’s cultural enclaves, including Little Havana, Little Haiti, and Hialeah. Cultural history excursions like Miami’s Black History Tours and Miami’s Cultural Community Tours are becoming increasingly popular, as visitors seek to engage with the local community, according to Cultural Tourism in the “Tropical Playground”: Issues of Exclusion and Development in Miami.
But as these spaces are viewed by outside eyes and experienced by people from all over the world, officials want to ensure the areas are safe and well-resourced, instituting police forces and drawing property managers along with it. In small cultural enclaves like the predominantly Mexican Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago, or Miami’s predominantly Cuban Little Havana, the “original magnets of tourism can be marginalized and pushed to less developed spaces,” Adams added. These are the cases in which tourism creates all the issues associated with gentrification. As visitors begin frequenting these neighborhoods, improvements move in, property values go up, and people are pushed out, according to Adams.
The way tourism can change a city is unique to each local and regional political landscape, but as developers come in, it’s important to engage with local community leaders to “find out what local stakeholders want to provide resources for things they need as the neighborhood is transformed through tourism,” Adams said.
And for tourists, the best way to visit a new place is to research destinations thoroughly and learn about local cultural classes, economics, and political issues. “Read beyond the tourist guide books, beyond the online brochures and dig into an urban history to prepare for the trip,” Adams said. “Try and patronize businesses that are locally owned by local community and … fosters meaningful interactions with local people.” Adams also suggested that tourists keep a journal and pay it forward back in their own home communities by giving a talk at a local school or library to share their experiences with people who may not be as fortunate to travel as they are.
“In its broadest sense, tourism is about people coming from one community into another — whether that’s for a day, a week, or 10 days. But if you zoom out and think about immigration and how Miami has evolved, it has been people coming from one community to another,” Aedo said. “Miami is a multicultural community with a combination of cultures, sights, and sounds. We want to celebrate our rich black, Caribbean, Hispanic communities — and that combination of cultures and flavors is at the top of the list of what people want to come and see” | <urn:uuid:7439adef-04df-4c3d-a916-cb2b5d43b6e0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://thenewtropic.com/tourism-economy-culture/ | 2022-01-25T16:53:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.954973 | 1,675 |

"What health for tomorrow? When the digital revolution revolutionizes medicine". This book, produced on the initiative and by the members of the Collectif Santé Numérique (Digital Health Collective), offers both an inventory and a presentation of best practices in these fields, as well as ideas for concrete measures to accelerate the penetration of digital technology in health and to make (at last!) the healthcare pathway intelligent.
Synox Group, the Internet specialist in e-health objects and references, has joined the Santé Numérique collective, under the direction of Jacques Marceau. (1)to contribute to the birth of a book on digital health, published on 18 September by Gallimard.
Emmanuel Mouton, President of Synox Group, unveils his vision on new technologies and their uses in the health sector and explains that through connected objects, telemedicine, therapeutic coaching and other data protection and Big Data, the revolution is beautiful and well underway. A fascinating subject, all aspects of which are scrutinized to enlighten and raise the reader's awareness.
While digital technology is everywhere, irrigates everything, and makes an ever-increasing number of everyday objects "intelligent", health still escapes this logic. However, the multiplication of health information systems, connected medical devices and the widespread use of the mobile Internet tend to give the patient a role that he or she has never had before: that of an actor in his or her own health.
It's all there: the technologies and services, the economic players with operational offers, not forgetting the expectations, even impatience, of patients and professionals, all supported by a seemingly unfailing political will.
The explanation for this endemic delay lies in many factors: inappropriate legal and regulatory framework, organization of medical practice into increasingly segmented specialties.
This book offers an inventory, a presentation of good practices in these areas, but also concrete measures that would accelerate the penetration of digital health care and (finally!) make the care pathway intelligent.

Wing Parish Council needs to collect and use certain types of information about the Data Subjects who come into contact with it in order for it to carry out its work. This personal information must be collected and dealt with appropriately, whether on paper, in a computer or recorded on other material. There are safeguards to ensure this occurs as set out in the Data Protection Act 1998
The following list of definitions below of the technical terms used in this document is intended to aid understanding of this policy.
The person, who either alone or with others, decides what personal information Wing Parish Council will hold and how it will be held or used.
Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act):
The UK legislation that provides a framework for responsible behaviour by those using personal information.
Data Protection Officer:
The person(s) responsible for ensuring that Wing Parish Council follows its data protection policy and complies with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Data Subject/Service User:
The individual whose personal information is being held or processed by Wing Parish Council.
What is meant by “consent”?
One of the conditions for processing is that the individual has consented to their personal data being collected and used in the manner and for the purposes in question.
You will need to examine the circumstances of each case to decide whether consent has been given. In some cases this will be obvious, but in others the particular circumstances will need to be examined closely to decide whether they amount to an adequate consent.
Consent is not defined in the Data Protection Act. However, the European Data Protection Directive (to which the Act gives effect) defines an individual’s consent as:
…any freely given specific and informed indication of his wishes by which the data subject signifies his agreement to personal data relating to him being processed.
The fact that an individual must “signify” their agreement means that there must be some active communication between the parties. An individual may “signify” agreement other than in writing, but organisations should not infer consent if an individual does not respond to a communication – for example, from a customer’s failure to return a form or respond to a leaflet.
Consent must also be appropriate to the age and capacity of the individual and to the particular circumstances of the case. For example, if your organisation intends to continue to hold or use personal data after the relationship with the individual ends, then the consent should cover this. Even when consent has been given, it will not necessarily last forever. Although in most cases consent will last for as long as the processing to which it relates continues, you should recognise that the individual may be able to withdraw consent, depending on the nature of the consent given and the circumstances in which you are collecting or using the information. Withdrawing consent does not affect the validity of anything already done on the understanding that consent had been given.
You should review whether a consent you have been given remains adequate as your organisation’s relationship with an individual develops, or as the individual’s circumstances change.
Consent obtained under duress or on the basis of misleading information does not adequately satisfy the condition for processing.
The Data Protection Act distinguishes between:
- the nature of the consent required to satisfy the first condition for processing; and
- the nature of the consent required to satisfy the condition for processing sensitive personal data, which must be “explicit”.
Is a freely given, specific and informed agreement by a Data Subject (see definition) to the processing of personal information about him/her.
Explicit consent is needed for processing sensitive data – see definition below.
Notifying the Information Commissioner about the data processing activities of Wing Parish Council as certain activities may be exempt from notification.
The UK Information Commissioner responsible for implementing and overseeing the Data Protection Act 1998.
Means collecting, amending, handling, storing or disclosing personal information.
Information about living individuals that enables them to be identified; eg name and address. It does not apply to information about organisations, companies and agencies but applies to named persons, such as individual volunteers within Wing Parish Council.
Sensitive Data means data about:
- Racial or ethnic origin
- Political opinions
- Religious or similar beliefs
- Trade union membership
- Physical or mental health
- Sexual life
- Criminal record
- Criminal proceedings relating to a Data Subject’s offences
Wing Parish Council is the Data Controller under the Act, which means that it determines what purposes personal information held will be used for. It is also responsible for notifying the Information Commissioner of the data it holds or is likely to hold and the general purposes that this data will be used for.
Wing Parish Council may share data with other agencies such as the local authority, funding bodies and other voluntary agencies.
The Data Subject will be made aware in most circumstances how and with whom their information will be shared. There are circumstances where the law allows Wing Parish Council to disclose data (including sensitive data) without the Data Subject’s consent.
- Carrying out a legal duty or as authorised by the Secretary of State
- Protecting vital interests of a Data Subject or other person
- The Data Subject has already made the information public
- Conducting any legal proceedings, obtaining legal advice or defending any legal rights
- Monitoring for equal opportunities purposes, eg, race, disability or religion
- Providing a confidential service where the Data Subject’s consent cannot be obtained or where it is reasonable to proceed without consent, eg, where we would wish to avoid forcing stressed or ill Data Subjects to provide consent signatures.
Wing Parish Council regards the lawful and correct treatment of personal information as very important to successful working, and to maintaining the confidence of those with whom the Parish Council deals.
Wing Parish Council intends to ensure that personal information is treated lawfully and correctly
To this end, Wing Parish Council will adhere to the Principles of Data Protection as detailed in the Data Protection Act 1998.
Specifically, the Principles require that personal information:
- Shall be processed fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be processed unless specific conditions are met
- Shall be obtained only for one or more of the purposes specified in the Act and shall not be processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes
- Shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to those purposes
- Shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- Shall not be kept longer than is necessary
- Shall be processed in accordance with the rights of Data Subjects under the Act
- Shall be kept secure by the Data Controller who takes appropriate technical and other measures to prevent unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal information
- Shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects in relation to the processing of personal information
Wing Parish Council will, through appropriate management, ensure strict application of its criteria and controls by:
- Observing fully conditions regarding the fair collection and use of information
- Meeting its legal obligations to specify the purposes for which information is used
- Collecting and processing appropriate information and only to the extent that it is needed to fulfil its operational needs or to comply with any legal requirements
- Ensuring the quality of information used
- Ensuring that the rights of people about whom information is held can be fully exercised under the Act. These include;(a) The right to be informed that processing is being undertaken(b) The right of access to one’s personal information(c) The right to prevent processing in certain circumstances and
(d) The right to correct, rectify, block or erase information which is regarded as wrong information
- Taking appropriate technical and organisational security measures to safeguard personal information
- Ensuring that personal information is not transferred abroad without suitable safeguards
- Treating people justly and fairly whatever their age, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity when dealing with requests for information
- Setting out clear procedures for responding to requests for information
Informed consent is when:
- A Data Subject clearly understands why their information is needed, who it will be shared with, the possible consequences of them agreeing or refusing the proposed use of the data
- They give their consent
Wing Parish Council will ensure that data is collected within the boundaries defined in this policy. This applies to data that is collected in person or by completing a form
When collecting data Wing Parish Council will ensure that the Data Subject:
- Clearly understands why the information is needed
- Understands what it will be used for and what the consequences are should the Data Subject decide not to give consent to processing
- As far as is reasonably possible, grants explicit consent, either written or verbal, for data to be processed
- Is, as far as is reasonably practicable, competent enough to give consent and has given so freely without any duress, and
- Has received sufficient information on why their data is needed and how it will be used
Information and records relating to service users will be stored securely and will only be accessible to authorised personnel and volunteers.
Information will be stored for only as long as it is needed or required by statute and will be disposed of appropriately
It is Wing Parish Council’s responsibility to ensure all personal and company data is non-recoverable from any computer system previously used within the organisation and which has been passed on or sold to a third party.
Data Access and Accuracy:
All Data Subjects have the right to access the information Wing Parish Council holds about them. Wing Parish Council will also take reasonable steps to ensure that this information is kept up to date by asking Data Subjects whether there have been any changes.
In addition, Wing Parish Council will ensure that:
- It has a Data Protection Officer with specific responsibility for ensuring compliance with Data Protection
- Everyone processing personal information understands that they are contractually responsible for following good data protection practice
- Everyone processing personal information is appropriately trained to do so
- Everyone processing personal information is appropriately supervised
- Anybody wanting to make enquiries about handling personal information knows what to do
- It deals promptly and courteously with any enquiries about handling personal information
- It describes clearly how it handles personal information
- It will regularly review and audit the ways it holds, manages and uses personal information
- It regularly assesses and evaluates its methods and performance in relation to handling personal information, and
- All personnel are aware that a breach of the rules and procedures identified in this policy may lead to action being taken against them

Just ten days before the first critical nominating contests, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has taken a commanding lead in Iowa while Bernie Sanders has overtaken Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race.
Real estate mogul Trump led Texas Senator Ted Cruz 37 percent to 26 per cent in a new CNN/ORC poll Thursday in Iowa, where both parties hold their cacuses on February 1. Florida Senator Marco Rubio in third place at 14 per cent was the only other Republican in double digits.
Self styled Democratic Socialist Sanders, meanwhile, opened up an eight-point lead over former Secretary of State Clinton, leading her in Iowa 51 per cent to 43 per cent among likely Democratic presidential caucus-goers.
In December, Clinton led Sanders in Iowa by 18 points in CNN/ORC’s polling, 54 per cent to 36 per cent.
As Sanders shot into the lead Clinton sought to turn his “establishment” attack right back on him-saying he served in Washington much longer than she did.
In a CNN interview, she also attacked his experience and fitness to lead the country, criticising his call during the last Democratic debate to “move as aggressively as we can to normalize relations with Iran.”
Earlier at a rally in Indianola, Iowa, Clinton repeatedly referenced Sanders by name and questioned whether his ideas could ever become reality.
“I am not interested in ideas that sound good on paper but will never make it in the real world,” Clinton said. “I care about making a real difference in your life and that gets to the choice you have to make in this caucus.”
Sanders, on his part, told Time magazine that in national polls “we are defeating Donald Trump, the Republican`s leading candidate, by far more than Hillary Clinton is.”
“So if the question is, can a Bernie Sanders and what he stands for, and the fight for economic and social justice carry over to the general election and millions of working people? I think the evidence is that it can,” he asserted.
Meanwhile, Trump ripped Cruz as a strident and unlikeable figure lacking the skills to negotiate and lead on behalf of the US.
“He had his moment and he blew it,” Trump said at an event in a casino in Las Vegas Thursday after a reading a series of polls showing him surging in states around the country.
“He looks like a nervous wreck,” he added. “He`s going down.” Trump also trashed former Florida Governor Jeb Bush as a “lost soul” and “a maniac.”
“We`ve got a bunch of real dummies, I tell ya,” he said adding, “Jeb is down the toilet and Ted is starting to go down.”
He assured the crowd that if Bush halted his attacks on Trump, he would leave him alone. | <urn:uuid:2734aac2-cb02-4c51-8af1-bbd11d69de0e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.afternoonvoice.com/donald-trump-bernie-sanders-take-solid-leads-in-first-primary-contests.html | 2022-01-25T16:49:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.972868 | 603 |

Position Partners has signed an agreement to distribute Omnidots’ wireless vibration monitoring platform through Australia and New Zealand.
Omnidots provides autonomous vibration monitoring systems for infrastructure and geo physical applications.
Position Partners agreement with Omnidots will see it become the master distributor of its range of products.
According to Position Partners monitoring marketing development manager Andrew Jones said the Omnidots range will complement other deformation monitoring solutions offered by Position Partners.
“The Omnidots solution is unique in its capacity to deliver a fully automated, wireless, and integrated vibration monitoring platform that can be installed and setup in minutes,” he said.
“The Omnidots range complements our other deformation monitoring solutions and has already received very positive feedback from customers using it for commercial construction and infrastructure projects.”
Vibration monitoring allows application to detect if nearby residents, buildings and solid structures could be impacted during blasting before it happens, including heritage structures and buildings.
“Position Partners is well placed to support the Omnidots solution, given the company’s dedicated monitoring team, geographic reach and core customer base across the geospatial, construction and mining markets,” Omnidots chief executive officer Marko Bolt said.
The vibration monitoring solution uses Swarm vibration sensors that can be installed on almost any surface.
The SWARM sensors are designed to be durable and feature wireless and self-levelling technology.
Vibration data is transferred to Omnidots’ Honeycomb web software platform via the internet.
The Honeycomb web platform can provide analysis and reports on vibration data, and can process measurement data into reports. | <urn:uuid:6b3406a5-1ece-45e6-a5c2-15b28ce7f4fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.australianmining.com.au/news/position-partners-delivers-vibration-monitoring-solution/ | 2022-01-25T17:10:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.918105 | 338 |

Firing managers is commonplace in soccer. The quickest fix to a sinking ship or ship floating adrift at sea is relieving the head coach of his command. Maybe its my usual nature to be one of the last to join any coach firing fan contingent, but I feel Hackworth earned at least one more offseason in charge. For as much as I find disagreeable about Hack's managing decisions, I don't believe a Mike Petke or Caleb Porter (two managers who were hired last offseason) takes this team much further teetering on either side of the playoff line.
The most common motivation for firing a manager is if he loses the locker room. That's not the case in Chester. Except when playing for the U.S. Open Cup, the Union's young and old were an irrepressible bunch, fighting tooth and nail to find extra goals at the end of matches or prevent them from occurring. If the Union failed to score or let in a backbreaking goal like Saturday afternoon against Sporting KC, it was usually because of their own talent deficiencies. In the media the players have expressed nothing but one hundred percent backing of Hackworth, even when the team suffered through win-less streaks or when enigmatic midfielder Freddy Adu was exiled from the team. It stands to reason that a large part of Hack's locker room popularity lies in the fact that his Polish predecessor was such an erratic and arrogant gentleman, and Hackworth backs his players in press conferences even to the detriment of his public image.
Working with a limited budget thanks to dead money from buyouts and transfer fees occupying nearly a third of the team's salary cap, Hackworth kept his 2012 offseason transactions stateside and made a few moves (Casey, Le Toux, Parke) that all generated positive results. The Union were left without a first round pick thanks to the failed Bakary Soumare deal, so the Union spent a couple round picks on left backs Don Anding and Stephen Okai. Okai was a bust, but missing out on second round picks (especially in the age of MLS academies) isn't much to fuss over when nearly most of the players don't contribute at all or play in the reserve leagues during their rookie year. Don Anding spent most of the season on loan in Harrisburg, and figures to be part of the Union's 2014 roster.
As soon as the season started, Hackworth's biggest priority was draining the roster of its poisonous contracts created by his Polish predecessor. After reportedly refusing to play Adu and asking him to take a 75% pay cut to stay on the team, Hackworth managed to successfully move Adu's bloated contract to Bahia, but on the condition that the team take Jose Kleberson on loan. While Kleberson is arguably the most decorated veteran on the roster, he's a defensive midfielder, not a box-to-box one (at least at his salary). Going forward I don't think he's the answer for this ailing midfield. In the final month when he played in the central midfield in place of the oft-criticized Keon Daniel, the Union offense still failed to generate good chances in open play. However, there's no question that when he arrived here and after he recovered from a June injury suffered in Toronto that he should've played more.
Next, Hackworth took advantage of the chaos to trade Gabriel Farfan for what-is-now the second pick of the 2014 MLS Superdraft, and then moved Bakary Soumare to Chicago to effectively unload part of his 2013 salary and his entire 2014 salary. Farfan and Soumare both desired more playing time than they were even going to earn this season, and both moves allowed the Union to sign Oka Nikolov, Fabinho, and Gilberto Souza during the summer. While Souza's impact is yet to be known (Hack stated immediately that he wasn't going to feature prominently this season), Nikolov's arrival brought about an immediate step up in Zac MacMath's goalkeeping, and Fabinho brought about mixed results as a speedy winger/wingback on the left side.
Hack's moves have been a moderate success considering his limited budget. However, this winter the Union cap situation will finally clear up, and it'll be time for Hackworth and the front office to prove to fans that they don't have a barrel of money stashed in a dark warehouse next to the Ark of the Covenant. Ricardo Ansaldi has to prove he hasn't spent this year just sipping mates and help this club a potential starting box-to-box central midfielder, left winger, and left back.
The box-to-box midfielder is the most crucial purchase because that'll help this team play a more attractive brand of soccer, another critique many fans have also laid at the feet of Hackworth. The lack of pure, reliable creative midfielders on the roster this season was probably limited to Michael Farfan and Roger Torres.
Farfan had some good moments here and there when he wasn't being played out of position on the wing, though I'd much rather see him come off the bench in the future if he's going to be on the team. Earlier in the season I wrote a fanpost about why I didn't rate Torres nearly as high as most of the fanbase. While most fans see him as the club's most exciting player (and admittedly, the source of my favorite Union goal ever), I see a 140-pound midfielder who's not very quick, gets knocked off the ball too often, and has never played well during a match for more than 30 minutes at a time. In addition, Torres has a tendency to hold the ball in place before delivering a long ball; that element goes against Hack's desire to keep the ball moving. Unless the team needs to a central midfielder to help the team push hard for a goal, I don't see any reason to bring Torres on the field.
It's true the Union has played ugly, unwatchable soccer during much of this season. Part of that has to do with Hack's conservative brand of soccer that relied on goals from counterattacks and set pieces. However, I believe the dearth of talent is the biggest reason the team can look so bad at times. Everyone wishes their team could play like Arsenal or Borussia Dortmund, but a team needs the appropriate players like Mesut Ozil and Marco Reus to execute that playing style. Besides, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea and Real Madrid teams were and have been ultra-conservative at times, but dynamic players like Ronaldo and Juan Mata are able to dazzle and leave fans wanting more. There are creative talents like Dillon Powers stateside and Diego Valeri abroad that can play hard-nosed, physical soccer and exploit holes in opposing defenses regularly. It's up to the front office and scouting unit to find and convince these players to play in Chester.
We knew coming into this season that it would be a rebuilding year. The team had a preseason goal of making the playoffs, but that's merely a bar hanging in the door frame to jump and touch because this team isn't ready for the big time. Perhaps it's this club already entering its 2nd rebuilding phase that has fans frustrated, but that's the price this club pays for letting Polish di Canio run amok on this roster at the beginning of 2012. Perhaps it's the fact that the sports gods have put HARD TIMES on the fans of every team in the Philly metropolis. Perhaps it's the dark doubt of what this ownership is willing to do in order to create a winner. Like it or not, the Union are a small market club. They can't spend dollar for dollar with the Red Bulls, Galaxy, or Seattle Sounders, so they must use methods to acquire quality talent at a sustainable price. Building their own academy high school is a good step in that direction, just as long as the purpose of said high school is to develop them for the senior Union squad or sell them to bigger clubs a la Ajax Amsterdam (and not to build an all-local Union team. Good grief, Nick Sakiewicz.). Such a high priced commitment shows some desire to want to build a future contender.
John Hackworth is a player development coach, and his impact on this roster has been felt on young talents like McInerney, Okugo, MacMath, Hoppenot, and Raymon Gaddis. The problem with development-oriented managers is that there comes a time when the development is less needed and the tactical mind is required to take the team further. That time may come as early as next summer, next November, or maybe not even anytime soon.. Free from the shackles of cap inflexibility, Hackworth has earned a right to find and buy the players that will turn this team into a contender. Next season both local and national eyes will see Hack truly being in a hot seat situation for the first time, and it'll be up to him to prove he can take this club to the next level. | <urn:uuid:0b836df3-ac76-46af-94d1-2d1622703132> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.brotherlygame.com/2013/11/5/5037250/john-hackworth-should-retain-his-job-for-now | 2022-01-25T17:45:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.979902 | 1,835 |
It's always exciting when a feminist icon published a new book, but what is Gloria Steinem's new book about? Apparently, My Life on the Road , due out October 27 from Random House, will be "a candid account of her life as a traveler, a listener, and a catalyst for change." Steinem explains how her itinerant early years shaped her outlook and how her lifetime of travel influenced her activism.
Given Steinem's eventful life and superb writing, her memoir seems likely to be a must-read not only for feminists but also for anyone curious about New York intellectuals in the 1960s and '70s. In addition to covering Steinem's remarkable achievements — including founding Ms. Magazine, campaigning unapologetically for abortion rights, and supporting feminist issues all over the world — it will apparently feature some familiar faces from the period, most of whom were undeniably colorful individuals (insert Norman Mailer joke here).
My Life on the Road also has an impressive, intriguing set of blurbs: bell hooks describes it as "an inspiring work, a call for action" and James Patterson calls the book "a lightning rod to the head and heart." Perhaps the most exciting praise, however, is Jane Fonda's: “Countless times, I had to put Gloria Steinem’s new book down and allow an explosive truth she had just revealed to roll through me."
The memoir will be Steinem's first full-length book since the essay collection Moving Beyond Words was published in 1993. In the interim, she's been focused on international activism, gotten married for the first time, and convinced Alicia Florrick to run for office. Plenty of material for another book, when the time comes. | <urn:uuid:9c8a7642-ccc3-4238-804f-c2887fb7c032> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.bustle.com/articles/113862-whats-the-new-gloria-steinem-book-about-its-going-to-be-epic-so-get-excited | 2022-01-25T17:16:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.958558 | 348 |

Travelers Insurance provides insurance for a wide range of different types of personal property: homes, vehicles, boats, and more. Unfortunately, you may find delays or difficulty in processing your Travelers Insurance claim. When it comes to personal injury claims with Travelers Insurance, we’re here to help. Contact our Chicago insurance dispute attorneys at Abels & Annes today at (312) 924-7575 to learn more about how we can help you negotiate your Travelers Insurance claim.
Auto Accident Claims with Travelers Insurance
Travelers Insurance covers several different types of property. The company offers homeowner insurance, renter insurance, insurance on motor vehicles, and insurance for boats, yachts, and other leisure vehicles.
Auto accidents can lead to a significant insurance settlement, depending on the conditions of the accident. When you’re involved in an auto accident with a vehicle covered by Travelers Insurance, you can expect coverage for:
- Property damage: Damage to a vehicle as a result of your accident. Were you responsible for the accident? If so, your vehicle coverage depends on a comprehensive insurance plan with Travelers Insurance. Was the other driver at fault? The other driver’s liability policy should cover your property damages.
- Medical bills: If you were injured in an accident with an individual who carries Travelers Insurance, the carrier may be responsible for paying for your medical bills. This includes the current cost of your medical bills at the time of the settlement as well as the medical bills that can reasonably be anticipated after your settlement.
- Lost wages: Were you out of work as a result of the accident? If you’re seriously injured, you could be out of work for an extended period of time. If so, Travelers Insurance can be held liable for your lost income.
- Pain and suffering: The injuries from your accident will determine how much you receive for pain and suffering. For example, you may receive a larger settlement if you sustain permanent or long-term injuries in the accident.
- Funeral and burial expenses: If there is a fatality in an accident with someone who carries Travelers Insurance, you can reasonably expect payment for funeral and burial expenses.
Premises Liability Claims with Travelers
Did you suffer an injury due to the negligence of a homeowner or business owner? They could have insurance with Travelers and you could quickly find yourself dealing with a difficult insurance adjuster.
Claims Against a Homeowner
Our injury lawyers often deal with cases where our clients sustain an injury while in someone’s home. For example, a trip and fall while walking down defective stairs that have multiple building code violations. Or an injury from a porch collapse in Chicago.
Claims Against a Business Owner
We often work on claims for plaintiffs that have been injured at a business, such as grocery stores or any other type of commercial establishment. For example, a slip and fall that causes serious injuries. The accident could be due to a wet floor or a spill. Sometimes the condition is caused by a store employee, or it could be another customer. Either way, the business owner has a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for customers.
What Are Common Issues with Travelers Insurance Claims?
Whether you’re dealing with a car accident claim, a premises liability case, or a boat accident claim, there are several common obstacles you may encounter while processing your insurance claim. In many cases, working with a lawyer can be the most effective way to work through a complex claim. An attorney can help ensure that you receive proper compensation. Common challenges include:
Delaying your claim. Significant delay in the claims process can leave you unable to pay necessary expenses or struggling with other issues while awaiting a resolution.
Denying fault. When dealing with Travelers Insurance after an accident caused by a driver they cover, an adjuster may attempt to deny fault in the accident. Insurance companies may provide evidence that suggests their driver was not at fault for an accident. Or they may try to show other factors that could have contributed to the accident.
Offering a much lower settlement than you deserve. Your insurance settlement helps cover your expenses related to an incident, whether it’s damage to your person, or your vehicle. In some cases, Travelers Insurance may provide you with a settlement offer that is less than you anticipated. Significant disputes can mean you may not have the funds in hand to properly account for your expenses. Working with a lawyer is the most effective way to reach a good settlement. Your attorney will know whether the offer is fair, or if it’s a lowball and it’s time to file a lawsuit.
How Much Will a Lawyer Cost Me?
It will cost you nothing up front. When you work with us, we’ll give you a free consultation to learn more about your issues with Travelers Insurance. We work on a contingent fee basis. There is no attorney’s fee unless you win, and we advance the case costs. This allows you to move forward with your life without worrying about how you’re going to pay for a lawyer.

What if a business began that was a series of stores, like Walmart, Target, etc. but smaller versions, and they were called All American? These stores would look and feel just like what we are used to except all products carried would be made in America. This would create many jobs and keep our money here, where it can do us some good. We know job creation is very essential to our recovery as are income, spending, and taxes from the employed, compared to people collecting unemployment insurance.
Where I cannot see a perfect way to make this work is due to the fact that the cost of labor in China, India, and other countries is so much lower that we can’t seem to compete. But what if these stores received tax credits for the difference? Certainly Walmart, etc. would cry foul. But would the positive effect outweigh the negative, if the government gave Walmart, etc. the same deal? When they buy something made in America vs. China, Walmart gets a tax credit for the margin of difference in the cost of manufacturing.
Since the government funds oil giants and agriculture, why not its other “bread basket,” the labor market, the wanting-to-work American? | <urn:uuid:45730c57-2f7b-4d0d-aecb-b37dcf6e75bb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.independent.com/2011/08/18/all-american-chain-stores/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2022-01-25T17:24:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.981395 | 247 |

The New iCloud Passwords App:
Apple’s new, dedicated iCloud Passwords app will provide you with some much-needed new features if you sync your iCloud Passwords with Windows. The software, which is included in the iCloud for Windows 12.5 update, allows you to search through your saved passwords, update them, add new ones, and erase login information you don’t need.
How To Use the New Tool?
Apple’s website describes how to use the new tool to manage your iCloud Passwords, but it’s very simple. You can open the app from the Start menu and make any necessary changes to your passwords. Your Apple devices will be updated as a result of your modifications.
If you switch between Windows and Mac, this upgrade makes utilizing iCloud to sync your passwords much more feasible (or who uses Windows and an iPhone). The ability to see and search a list of your saved passwords provides you more flexibility than the browser extension, and the ability to manage your passwords means you don’t have to use an Apple device.
Although the new tool isn’t as comprehensive as a dedicated password manager (or, for that matter, Keychain Access on Mac), it’s a huge improvement over the limited management options Windows users previously had for their iCloud Passwords.
Are any updates Available?
The 12.5 updates for iCloud for Windows are now available and can be downloaded in the Windows Store. If you don’t already have iCloud Password synchronization enabled on your Windows PC, you’ll need to do so via iCloud Settings before you can use the password manager, but it’s a swift process. | <urn:uuid:b4d7986f-c27d-4fa3-8048-518b4c2966bd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.mideastdiscourse.com/2021/08/17/icloud-passwords-can-now-be-managed-by-windows-users/ | 2022-01-25T16:40:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.881692 | 344 |
Obama is scheduled to make remarks about the law from Maryland on Thursday and host a conference call with mayors and other state and local officials later in the week. Also this week, Vice President Joe Biden is expected to host a call with the nation's nurses, while cabinet secretaries—including HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius—will attend public awareness events in various communities.
The conversation between the two presidents took place 20 years and one day after Clinton delivered remarks to a joint session of Congress about the need to address problems with the country's healthcare system. Acting as the interviewer, Clinton pitched questions to the president about the Affordable Care Act, including several questions about the health insurance exchanges that will launch in January.
Obama explained to the global audience that the exchanges are meant to provide insurance for people who don't receive coverage from their employers, and that the law created this mechanism to pool together those individuals so they have greater purchasing power. He said this pooling has so far “drastically reduced premiums and costs,” as premium rates for the marketplace in New York are about 50% lower than the previous premium rates there, while rates are about 33% lower in California and about 25% lower in his home state of Illinois.
“When people look and see that they can get high-quality healthcare for less than their cell phone bill, they're going to sign up,” Obama said. “The opponents of healthcare reform know they will sign up.”
He also emphasized that the exchanges need broad risk pools if they're going to work effectively.
“If you don't have pools that are a cross section of society, people who are already sick will rush out and buy insurance, people who are healthy will say, 'I won't bother,' and you get adverse selection,” he said, adding that premiums will increase if the risk isn't spread out.
Meanwhile, Obama said, the administration is working to ensure that people have good information and noted that some commercials that oppose the law are a “little wacky.” And he acknowledged, though, that polls suggest the ACA is still unpopular with many Americans. That's because, the president said, healthcare decisions are personal and often the unknown is scarier than the known.
“Rather than trying to disabuse people of every single bit of information,” Obama said, “We're saying: Just take a look yourself.”

Buying certified pre-owned means your model will have more of the modern technology and safety features you’ll want in your next vehicle.

- Vehicle must have a thorough and accurate maintenance history

T-Mobile is taking AT&T subsidiary Aio Wireless to court ... over the color of the pre-paid carrier's logo.
T-Mobile is annoyed because "out of all the colors of the universe, [Aio] chose magenta to begin promoting no-contract wireless communications services in direct competition with T-Mobile."
In a Friday filing with a Texas district court, T-Mobile argued that Aio's "use of magenta to attract T-Mobile customers is likely to dilute T-Mobile's famous magenta color trademark, and to create initial interest confusion as to the source or affiliation of AT&T's subsidiary business."
"T-Mobile needs an art lesson. Aio doesn't do magenta," an Aio spokeswoman said in a statement.
After a quick glance at the Aio website, one might describe its color scheme as plum, while T-Mobile veers into hot pink territory. But T-Mobile says in its filing that parent company Deutsche Telekom developed and started using the magenta color in the 1990s, making magenta "an internationally recognized symbol of DT in the world of telecommunications."
DT started using magenta for T-Mobile marketing materials in the U.S. in 2002. "Through its continuous use and promotion of the Magenta Mark in the United States for more than ten years, T-Mobile also has developed and owns common law rights to the Magenta Mark in connection with telecommunications services across the country," according to the suit.
T-Mobile argued that other carriers have signature colors: AT&T's blue and orange, Verizon's red, and Sprint's yellow.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere took to Twitter today to joke that Aio must have been consulting a crayon box with only magenta offerings.
At the heart of the suit is the fact that Aio competes with T-Mobile, which recently ditched contracts and embraced the "uncarrier" approach. "Like T-Mobile, AIO targets budget-conscious consumers by offering wireless services with all inclusive plans with no contracts," the suit says.
Aio, which functions as a subsidiary of AT&T, launched in early May, offering no-contract talk, text, and data plans to customers Houston, Orlando, and Tampa. It expanded to Naples and Ft. Myers, Fla., and plans to expand to additional markets across the U.S. over the next year.

Bad at this
So this may come off as silly, the whole thing, but I'm just about the worst at figuring out if someone likes me, if they are hitting on me or making a move or hint.
There's this guy, he lives on the same road as me, we went to the same high school for two years. When I was in senior year a couple of years back we started taking interest in each other flirting,I think, both super shy and awkward about it. Both of us not the greatest teenagers, did the usually party teenage thing. We made out one time but I shrugged it off as nothing because we were drunk. I drove him to school a few times and we had great talks. Then senior year ended and I just decided it was all in my head and he didn't care about me, I didn't even believe my cousin who said he told her he liked me. We hadn't talked since I graduated. I still thought about him constantly. We both had a relationship with other people since then and then just very recently he gets in touch with me. We talked for five hours and at the end he said feel free to message me anytime, it was great talking to a friend I haven't talked to in forever.Like I said before,this was gonna be silly. Was that a guy move or am I right and that wasn't a guy move?
Stop overthinking - just go along with it and continue keeping in touch with each other.. talking and hanging out, only then you'll see where it goes. Get to know each other again and only time will tell what happens. You're not silly, you have a crush on him but you need to slow down. He left the door open for further communication down the line, if a guy didn't like talking to you or didn't want to, he wouldn't leave the invite open. Invite him to go somewhere with you, something fun, an activity. Don't stress or make this any complicated than it really is. Have fun and go with the flow. | <urn:uuid:5ab798e7-3ee2-4f47-b35a-bdcb6347be5f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.peoplesproblems.org/showtopic/6413/Bad-at-this | 2022-01-25T18:07:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.99236 | 420 |

Midwestern State ready to open new era of volleyball
Midwestern State volleyball begins the Valerie Armstrong era Friday at the Tarleton State Invitational.
Armstrong was already familiar with volleyball in this area having coached at Vernon College from 2009-12 before being hired to replace Natalie Burton at MSU.
And Armstrong will have two area stars, Bowie's Addy Cook, who missed most of last year with injury, and former Wichita Falls High School and Florida Atlantic player Sarah Eakin, to depend on.
Eakin is looking forward to her second season at MSU. She plays right-side and is excited about the team around her.
"We have a very strong freshman class that just came in as well as a lot of returning players and we are all versatile," Eakin said. "So, I am really looking forward to the season and what coach Val is going to do with our program. I think we are going to keep building and building as the years go on, so we all are really excited about it."
Burton was excited a year ago this time about what Cook was bringing to the team as a freshman when she had a 21-kill outing against Southern Arkansas. But she was injured before the home opener Sept. 22 and lost for the year.
"I've been through 10 months of therapy and surgery and all that," Cook said. "All my teammates have been there for me the whole time. We're all one unit and we can do it all together."
Midwestern State finished 15-16 last year and 7-13 in the Lone Star Conference. The top returnees are senior defensive specialist Kristin Silva, senior outside hitter Rockelle Gholson (2.24 kills per set) and sophomore middle blocker Raven Presley.
“I’m excited about what we can do and how we can run our offense and swing left and right," Armstrong said. "I think it’s a team sport and I think everybody has to step up and just buy into what we are doing depending on the rotation, depending on the team and what we're running offensively. I think everybody has to step up their game and give their very best all the time.”
Predictions: MSU was picked eighth in the LSC. Angelo State is the favorite followed by West Texas A&M.
Welcome home: After tournaments in Stephenville and then Kearney, Nebraska, the Mustangs finally head home to play at D.L. Ligon against Eastern New Mexico on Sept. 7 and the following day against WT. | <urn:uuid:cc96f134-a110-4583-b10a-cba74c5098f2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/sports/college/midwestern-state-university/2018/08/23/midwestern-state-volleyball-valerie-armstrong-addy-cook-sarah-eakin-wichita-falls-division-2-bowie/1065477002/ | 2022-01-25T17:43:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.980448 | 525 |
Gamifying Your Instruction Is Easier Than You Think
Ms. Cooper teaches 5th grade. At times, she wonders if she is genuinely an effective teacher. Her students don’t seem excited about the curriculum or as motivated to learn as she would hope. Students give up easily when faced with challenging assignments and often rely on her guidance when completing classroom activities. However, informally she hears about the latest games her students are playing at home. They devote time and patience to overcoming challenges, using strategic thinking, collaborating with teammates, and investigating resources when learning new skills.
According to the Pew Research Center, the statistics are clear when it comes to kids, gaming, and educational technology. Forty-four percent of children ages 0-11 use a gaming device within their home (Perrin, 2020, July 28). When looking at teens, the numbers are staggering. Ninety percent of teens use gaming consoles, smartphones, and computers (Auxier, Anderson, Perrin, & Turner, 2018, September 17). Many educators like Ms. Cooper are looking to leverage students’ skills and interest in gaming for instructional purposes within the formal classroom. Many are exploring game-based learning to boost student engagement and motivate students while building critical thinking skills and meeting learning objectives.
What is gamification?
Gamification refers to when game design features are applied to non-game activities. The design elements are ones that gamers find motivational and engaging. Knapp (2012) provides an excellent definition capturing all of these features, “Gamification is using game-based mechanics, aesthetics and game thinking to engage people, motivate action, promote learning, and solve problems” (p.10). Educational researchers have investigated numerous games to identify these essential design elements. Most agree that these elements include:
- challenges or levels
- opportunities to make choices
- awarding of points
- obtaining badges or prizes
- competition and leaderboards
- immediate feedback
- storytelling and visual elements
- objectives and goals
- opportunities to try again.
It is when these elements are applied to traditional instruction that benefits students.
What are the benefits of gamification?
Incorporating game-based design into the formal classroom has proved to be very beneficial. Gamification design elements pair nicely with theories on learning (e.g., mastery learning), motivation (e.g., self-determination theory), and engagement.
Benefits of gamification include:
- Increased Concentration – Csikszentmihalyi (2008) coined the term “flow,” where a person enters a state of increased concentration where time doesn’t seem to exist. Observing any serious gamer provides an example of “flow”; however, it is not limited to game-based activity.
- Increased Engagement – Within a gamified context, students must interact and engage in new and unique ways. This might come through increased interaction with tools and resources or through a common interest or topic.
- Solving Problems – Games include various levels and challenges. Incorporating gamified elements provides students with opportunities to hone their problem-solving skills in much of the same way.
- Developing Critical Thinking – In order for gamers to achieve objectives and goals, they must develop critical thinking skills to plan ahead, think strategically, and overcome challenges.
One notable advantage is how the benefits of gamification remain even if they are later removed (Groening & Binnewies, 2021). Therefore, teachers like Ms. Cooper might find gamifying their instruction a more approachable instructional strategy to engage students.
How can you implement gamification?
Don’t Reinvent the Wheel
Investigate the digital tools that are already in use in your classroom. Many of these tools have gamified elements already built-in. For example, Ms. Cooper is likely using a learning management system (LMS) with the capability to award students badges. Pairing 21st-century skills with learning activities provide students an opportunity to master content and earn a grade and recognize other more abstract skills (e.g., excellent communication or skills in leadership and collaboration).
Focus on the Instructional Strategies
Pair the gamification elements with instructional best practices and elevate those approaches. For example, the game design includes opportunities for students to make choices and try again. Ms. Cooper could build opportunities for students to direct their learning through choice. By incorporating mastery learning approaches, students can receive feedback, use that feedback, and try again. When students engage in multiple opportunities for feedback, they perceive this feedback as less critical over time. Unlike many instructional approaches, mastery learning focuses less on the time it takes for learning to occur and instead focuses on what is needed for learning to happen.
Start Small and Collaborate
Consider adding one new element to your instruction rather than a complete overhaul of your curriculum. Lean on your fellow educators and collaborate. Ms. Cooper might consider collaborating with her fifth-grade team to develop a leaderboard to facilitate friendly classroom competition. Sharing the workload not only takes the pressure off of Ms. Cooper, but allows all of the students in the fifth grade an opportunity to experience a gamified classroom. Additionally, consider looking at your current curriculum and repackage one activity to include gamified elements. It might be as simple as changing the language to incorporate game-based vocabulary (e.g., experience points instead of grades) or incorporating storytelling to “set the stage” for a lesson.
Finally, consider this quote, “Games give experiences meaning, they provide a set of boundaries within a ‘safe’ environment to explore, think, and ‘try new things out.’ Games provide motivation to succeed and reduce the sting of failure” (Knapp, 2012, p. xxi). Much of what we do as teachers can already be situated within a gamified context. Many of the game design elements are already in a teacher’s wheelhouse and tied to research-based best practices.

this is copied from a post i placed in another thread
Greetings from Malaysia
I know this may seem crazy, reviving a thread that's more than 10 years old, but I'm really looking for this particular watch, Seiko SLT077 Perpetual Calendar.
The thing is, this is the watch my wife gave me when we got married some 15 years ago. I rarely use it, since it was a wedding present and all. Kept it nice and clean in its box. Unfortunately a few years back our house got broken into and the watch was stolen. Broke my heart... and i've been looking for this watch for a while now. If anybody here has a well kept condition of this watch and willing to let it go do let me know. You can contact me through direct message in this forum (since i can't post my email address here)

Phelps falls just short in 100m butterfly final
Rival Lochte edges Phelps in Arizona
Michael Phelps has lost in the first final of his comeback after a 20-month retirement.
Ryan Lochte beat Phelps in the 100-meter butterfly final at the Arena Grand Prix. Lochte touched in 51.93 seconds; Phelps was second in 52.13 on Thursday night.
Phelps is the three-time Olympic champion and current world record-holder in the event. He was competing for the first time since the 2012 London Olympics.
A giddy Phelps qualified fastest for the 100-meter butterfly final.The 28-year-old swimmer was second at the turn and came on down the stretch to win his heat in 52.84 seconds, easily advancing to the evening final.
"I felt like a summer league swimmer today," Phelps said, smiling, after the heat. "I felt like I should have my heat and lane written on my hand so I didn't forget it."
Lochte was second-quickest, winning his heat in 52.94.
Phelps and Lochte joked with each other behind the starting blocks when Phelps came out early for his heat, which came after Lochte's.
"He said, 'Maybe we should both just mess around and see if we can both get in the 'C' final,'" Phelps said.
Longtime coach Bob Bowman liked what he saw from Phelps' qualifying heats.
"I could tell when he came in that it was going to be good, that he was into it," he said.
The 22-time Olympic medalist was greeted with loud cheers from the packed stands when he came out earlier Thursday for qualifying.
"It really is wild. It's good for the sport," Phelps said about his reception. "This is the sport I've known my whole entire life and loved my whole life. When I heard the roar in the stands, it's amazing."
Retired speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno, the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian, tweeted good luck to Phelps, saying, "Excited to see you back brother."
The three-day meet sold out every session the day Phelps' comeback was announced last week, with a capacity of 1,200 at Skyline Aquatic Center. A pair of $40 all-session tickets was being advertised online for $250. USA Swimming issued 100 media credentials -- five times more than usual. | <urn:uuid:3168f369-53ba-4435-86cf-5edbb9620acc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/phelps-falls-just-short-in-100m-butterfly-final/7086595 | 2022-01-25T17:46:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304859.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125160159-20220125190159-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.982944 | 506 |
Tribes One Step Closer To Fully Managing National Bison Range
The National Bison Range in northwest Montana is one step closer to being fully managed by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The U.S. Interior Department put the 19,000 acres of land into trust on Wednesday.
The transfer of the land out of the National Wildlife Refuge System into tribal control is part of the CSKT water compact passed by Congress last year.
The land will still be owned by the federal government, but placed in trust for the tribes. That means the land will be under management of the tribes for the first time since 1908 when the federal government took the land from the Flathead Indian Reservation.
The tribes began to take over management of the bison range late last year. Tribal officials will manage the range, with operational and financial support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, over the next two years.
CSKT will eventually fully fund management and conservation of the range.

Have you ever wondered why we have two ears instead of one? We don’t say two is better than one without reason.
Try to tie your shoes with one hand or close one of your eyes and try to read. Just like attempting those tasks with one hand, hearing is the same.
It is difficult if we are using only one ear.
Two ears really are more natural. Why do you think humans have two ears?
Basically, it is to widen the scope of your hearing so you can find out where sounds are coming from, and from what distance. In reality it is not your ears that do the listening, but your brain. And to interpret sounds correctly, the information it receives must be as accurate and as detailed as possible.
There are a many benefits when listening with two ears:
We hear speech better when there is background noise
It’s a more natural sound that we perceive with two hearing aids
Better speech discrimination and clarity
Improved localization (to know where sound is coming from)
Comfort is key – with one hearing aid we make the sound much louder than it should be to compensate for the other ear – two ears are just easier!
Studies have shown hearing aid users wearing two hearing aids are more satisfied in comparison to the users only wearing one. The difference is that the users with two hearing aids perceive the sound as more natural and find communication in groups easier.

Apple hasn’t updated its wireless earbuds since 2019 when it released its second generation AirPods. Therefore, we expected the company to finally introduce the next generation of headphones this year. However, until now, the premiere of the third generation AirPods has not taken place, in connection with which there have been rumors on the Web about the postponement of the announcement to next year. However, the sources cited by the DigiTimes portal assure that Apple really plans to release new headphones by the end of the year.
According to insiders, the third generation of AirPods wireless headphones will debut before the end of this year. True, they did not disclose the exact date of the premiere. But, as expected, in the coming months Apple will hold another presentation of its new products, one of which, most likely, will be the AirPods 3.
If the first two generations of AirPods wireless earbuds were alike like two drops of water, then the third generation is waiting for a redesign. The new headphones will be made in the style of AirPods Pro with replaceable ear pads, however, they will not inherit the active noise canceling function from the Pro version. But Apple will improve the sound quality and increase the battery life of the headphones. | <urn:uuid:23127dce-9d7e-43e3-856e-4bde8977ae41> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://ustkamchatsk.ru/airpods-3-will-be-released-before-the-end-of-2021/ | 2022-01-27T03:16:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305052.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127012750-20220127042750-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.96147 | 263 |
March 5, 2013 Tuesday. "Dear Self, remind yourself this" as I doodled on my iPad. It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
This is the "Open" sign at the store, just before I turned the switch off.
This is supposed to be Adobo. But I put too much water. It doesn't look right, but the taste was pretty close.

Interview With Renee Montagne of NPR
Secretary of State
SECRETARY CLINTON: Military action is not enough alone. It has to be mixed with political and development work. And I think everyone has realized, as we did in Iraq, that you have to begin to go right at the insurgents and peel those off who are willing to renounce violence, renounce al-Qaida, agree to live by the laws and constitution of Afghanistan and re-enter society.
QUESTION: Although -- obviously, Afghanistan is not Iraq. And I think there might be those who are hearing this this week, Americans, knowing that American fighting forces are in Afghanistan putting up and just beginning a surge for a big fight with the Taliban. And it would be a surprise and maybe even disturbing to hear that there's now talk of talking to the Taliban.
SECRETARY CLINTON: You can't have one without the other. Only a surge of military forces alone without any effort on the political side is not likely to succeed. Only an effort to try to make peace with your enemies without the strength to back it up is not going to succeed.So, in fact, this is a combined strategy that makes a great deal of sense.
Now, I think underlying your question is the concern of people who say well, wait a minute, those are the bad guys. Why are we talking to them? We're not going to talk to the really bad guys because the really bad guys are not ever going to renounce al-Qaida, renounce violence, and agree to re-enter society. That is not going to happen to Mullah Omar and the like. But there are so many fighters in the Taliban who are there because, frankly, it's a way of making a living in a very poor country where the Taliban pay them a lot more than they can make as a farmer or in some other line of work out in the countryside. So we're already seeing people coming off the battlefield.
There was a big story in one of the papers today about the military working with a whole tribe in effect to give them an alternative to either being on the sidelines or siding with the Taliban.
QUESTION: It's interesting you mention the article that's in The New York Times. The tribe is the largest Pashtun tribe in Afghanistan, something like 400,000 members. And basically, what they said was we are going -- the tribe has pledged, all its leaders have pledged, to fight the Taliban, for as big as it is, quite a first.
The money that came from the American commanders went directly to the tribe, bypassed the government. How do you work out in a sense the tension between going directly to the people who are trying to do something, the tribal groups such as they are in Afghanistan, and also trying to support a government? In this case, the tribal group said they didn't trust the government to help them.
SECRETARY CLINTON : Well, there are two interconnected approaches. The story you're describing was a story of our American military making this decision similarly to what they had done in Iraq where individuals were given incentives to leave the battlefield -- tribal elders, villages.
The second aspect of this is what's called the reintegration fund that will be set up and funded by international donors. A number of countries have made some significant contribution commitments.. And I think that's smart because this has to be agile and flexible and fluid depending upon the circumstances.
QUESTION: Secretary Clinton, you were the first Secretary of State, and I think I'm right on this, who has put a big focus on women's rights. When you look ahead to integrating the Taliban, even those who have renounced violence, which of course they would have to do for that to happen, back into society and into some sort of political empowerment, are you worried about the effect that this might have -- the negative effect this might have on Afghan women?
SECRETARY CLINTON: I am concerned, and I've spoken about it with a number of Afghan women and advocates for Afghan women. If the --
QUESTION: And are they worried about it?
SECRETARY CLINTON: They are. They're worried because they don't know quite what it means and I think that's fair. I don't think there is cause for alarm that the current government or any foreseeable government will turn the clock back like that so long as there is enough power in the state and through the new Afghan security forces to make sure that there is never a resurgence of the Taliban that could come close to taking over large parts of the country. That's what we're preventing.
I don't want us to be so diverted into our military and security efforts or the political peace efforts that we forget this country still needs a lot of development, and the only way, in my opinion, that Afghanistan has a chance to develop is if women are given the opportunity to participate fully.
QUESTION: President Karzai said this week that he expects Western troops to be in Afghanistan for at least another decade. Is that a timeline that makes sense to you?
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I don't believe that most Western troops will be in a combat role, but there are in many countries Western troops who do training of national armies or police. There are Western troops that provide intelligence, logistics, et cetera. But it won't be as it is today where we are putting in thousands more troops -- 30,000 from our own country, 9,000 from other countries. That's not going to be there for 10 years. But I would imagine there will be continuing military assistance and liaison, which is common around the world.
QUESTION: Could you give me -- what would be an example of talking to let's say a mid level Taliban? I mean, will American officials sit down with Taliban? Would they work through -- what is the practicalities of that?
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, Renee, I don't know that I can answer that because I think that this is a very new effort. It's a case-by-case effort. There already have been Taliban who have left and I think it is, for me, just the beginning. And how it goes will be a little bit like jazz. I mean, we're not sure; we can't lay it out completely. But there are a lot of so-called members of the Taliban who want out.
QUESTION: And of course, Western troops in a way want to get out of Afghanistan. Is this an exit strategy?
SECRETARY CLINTON: It's not an exit strategy; it is part of our comprehensive strategy. You have to have a very tough-minded attitude about this. This is not sweetness and light. You're dealing with a very difficult, complex phenomenon. A lot of things are moving in the right direction.
But most wars, most conflicts these days, don't end with a victory on the battlefield. So you've got to go at it in different ways. We found how to do it in Iraq. We've got some of the same people that worked on this in Iraq working with General McChrystal in Afghanistan, and I think we're headed in the right direction.
QUESTION: Secretary Clinton, thank you very much.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you. Good to talk to you. | <urn:uuid:4fd2dc18-991c-49e9-88aa-5c8890b7241b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://2009-2017.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2010/01/136287.htm | 2022-01-27T02:59:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305052.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127012750-20220127042750-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.97824 | 1,526 |

Pneumonia and respiratory failure requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation are the most important postoperative pulmonary complications. The occurrence of these complications has been associated with a significant increase in mortality and hospital length of stay. Pulmonary thromboembolism is another serious complication; prophylaxis against venous thromboembolic disease is described in Chapter 14-02.
RISK FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS
Procedure-related risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications include location of surgery (with highest rates occurring in cardiac, thoracic, and upper abdominal cases), prolonged anesthesia, and emergency cases. Operations not requiring general anesthesia tend to have lower rates of postoperative pulmonary complications, and laparoscopic procedures tend to have lower risk than comparable open procedures. In one series of over 1500 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the pulmonary complication rate was less than 1%.
It remains unclear which of the many patient-specific risk factors that have been identified are independent predictors. Advanced age appears to confer increased risk. The presence and severity of systemic disease of any type is associated with pulmonary complications. In particular, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or HF have at least twice the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications compared with patients without these conditions. As with preoperative cardiac risk assessment, physical debility and poor functional capacity predict higher risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. A summary of risk factors for pulmonary complications is presented in Table 3–4. A risk calculator for predicting postoperative respiratory failure derived from the NSQIP patient database (http://www.qxmd.com/calculate-online/respirology/postoperative-respiratory-failure-risk-calculator) includes the type of surgery, emergency surgery, preoperative sepsis, dependency in activities of daily living, and the patient’s American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification.
Table 3–4.Clinical risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications. ||Download (.pdf) Table 3–4. Clinical risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications.
Upper abdominal or cardiothoracic surgery
Prolonged anesthesia time (> 4 hours)
Age > 60 years
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Severe systemic disease
Tobacco use (> 20 pack-years)
Impaired cognition or sensorium
Functional dependency or prior stroke
Low serum albumin level
Obstructive sleep apnea
Patients with well-controlled asthma are not at increased risk for pulmonary complications. Obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with a variety of postoperative complications, including postoperative pulmonary complications and atrial fibrillation. The STOP-BANG screening questionnaire asks whether a patient has snoring, tiredness during the day, observed apnea, high blood pressure, body mass index greater than 35, age greater than 50, neck circumference greater than 17 inches for males or 16 inches for females, and male gender. The presence of five or more of these findings or at least two STOP criteria plus B, N, or G had a 78% positive predictive value for obstructive sleep apnea and was associated with a doubled risk for postoperative pulmonary complications.

Looking at the long-term horizon
■ Alibaba reported 2Q FY3/22 revenue of Rmb201bn, up 29% yoy. Excluding the consolidation of Sun Art, revenue growth was 16% yoy, below our expectation, mainly because of weak CMR growth in the China marketplace.
■ How ever, Cloud and international business achieved strong revenue growth of 33% and 34% yoy, respectively, in 2Q FY3/22, and the Cloud business continued to achieve positive EBITA.
■ We expect Alibaba’s new initiatives, such as Taobao Deal, Cloud, international business, Cainiao logistics and local retail business, to bear fruit in the future.

A tribal girl from chhattisgarh, Renee Kujur won overnight fame for her striking resembiance to R&B star Rihanna.
Life wasn’t easy for the tribal girl from Chhattisgarh who dreamt of shining in the limelight one day. Money was scarce, her mother worked as a house help. And with her chocolate skin, striking eyes, full lips, she didn’t fit the conventional prototype of beauty. But she was her own kind of beautiful. And she fiercely held on to her dream through the toughest of phases — till it came true.
The FDCI felicitated 33-year-old model Renee Kujur, whose striking resemblance to international R&B star Rihanna made her an overnight sensation, on day two of India Couture Week in the capital. Comparisions to RiRi and surprise at the resemblance are slowly wearing off, and Renee is now well on her way to becoming a supermodel.
For Renee, the dusky tribal girl from Chhattisgarh, the journey of becoming a model was not easy. While she was sure of her dream, she was hurt time and again by society’s reluctance to accept the beauty of dark skin. Recalling one of the many instances when she was snubbed, Renee shares, “At a fancy dress competition in school, when I went on stage, someone from the crowd shouted out, ‘Pariyaan kaali nahi hoti hain’ (angels are not black).” It hurt, but it didn’t shatter her dream. The incident proved to be a catalyst in her life and strengthened her resolve to give wings to her dreams. “These harsh words gave me the strength to fight,” recalls Renee.
Financial constraints was another big stumbling block in her journey. “Belonging to a lower middle-class family I decided not to be a burden on my parents. After completing school, I did odd jobs and saved money for my portfolio. What was more difficult was the fact that I being a tribal girl was expected to opt for a government job and nothing more,” shares Renee, who started her modelling career at 28 but had to wait for quite a while before getting her first break. She recalls, “Two years passed without any substantial recognition. After a photo shoot for JJ Valaya, there has been no looking back.”
Renee is today a celebrity in her own right. Not only has she been covered by over 35 national and international media houses in the last one month, but she is also on her way to becoming the face of a Tommy Hilfiger campaign, a brand for which she worked as a store salesgirl.
Reuniting with her family after years, an emotional Renee shares, “My father was a government servant who rode a bicycle all his life and my mother worked as a maid. But they left no stone unturned to give me a life that I always wanted. Even the house I live in today is bought from their hard-earned money. I now want to buy them a house and proudly say that my mother worked as a maid.”
It is not sheer luck or an accident of fate but grit and passion for one’s dream that makes one taste success, believes Renee, and this is what she advises those who are still struggling to achieve their dreams. “Hard work always pays off,” signs off Renee. | <urn:uuid:1c416092-b3e1-49af-a3d8-bd9c5c117690> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://asianage.com/life/more-features/290718/far-more-than-just-riris-doppelganger.html | 2022-01-27T03:27:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305052.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127012750-20220127042750-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.979213 | 728 |

Other devotional articles and items to ponder are also located there.
I’m Laura Burger. I joined the United Church of Christ of California in 1990 when I married my husband Steven. I am originally from Iowa and was living in Columbia when I met Steven on a blind date! Over the years, I have spent my time as a stay at home mom raising our two sons (Grant and Luke), along with 1st volunteering and then working part-time at the Elementary School along with volunteering for and also leading many different church programs at the church.
Now that our sons are grown and our family has grown to include our daughter-in-law Bailey (married to Grant), I am a housewife and volunteer my time at church. My favorite things to do are spend time with family and good friends, travel, fish, read and jigsaw puzzles. I love the outdoors and working in my yard. Along with leading these two groups, I also teach Sunday School and sing in the Senior Choir.
I started the Prayer Cell group on May 15, 2001. We have faithfully met weekly on Tuesday’s at 9:00 a.m. at the church for the past 18 years. Only rarely – due to a holiday or bad weather – do we not meet The group is all women except Pastor Russ, but both men and women are welcome to join the group. The only requirements in being a member are that you commit to praying daily for those on our Prayer List and keep confidential information. I am currently the leader of R.O.K. which is an acronym for Reaching Our Kids.
Individuals who have felt called to spend time in prayer meet in the sanctuary every Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Prayers are lifted up for those listed in the bulletin along with individual requests given to the group. After updating the weekly prayer list, the group sits in silence to pray. Each member spends time daily praying for those listed. If you have a prayer request for the group, you may contact the church office. All prayer requests given to the group are kept confidential. The group is open to anyone who feels called to pray for others.

My husband, Leroy, and I transferred our church membership to the California UCC in 1980. Along with our daughters, Stacey and Rachelle. Both, who were confirmed and married in this church. Stacey and her family are still members. Rachelle has moved from the area. Our family has been active in Sunday School, Youth Fellowship, and served on most committee’s in the church. Leroy, Stacey, and I have all served on the church Consistory. I also served on the building committee and decorating committees. The California UCC is not just a church to me, it has been our family. We have been very blessed, by God’s guidance. After my retirement, from the Insurance business world, I was able to become an active member of the Women’s Guild.
The Women’s Guild meets the third Wednesday afternoon of each month. We are a group of ladies of all age groups. Our meetings are both inspirational and informative. In 2020 we will be studying the Twelve Apostles. In the past we have studied the Women of the Bible, and most recently the Catechism. We enjoy our study time, brief business meeting, and fellowship. The Women’s Guild offers Celebration of Life Meals to all members, and extended church families. Funded by our monthly contributions. We have two groups who alternate in the preparing and serving. We also support the greater church needs in serving meals and refreshments as requested.
Our group participates in birthday celebrations at the nursing homes, and other community projects like 3MT, Community Service Project, Ministerial Alliance Thanksgiving meal, and Red Cross Blood Drive. We support a monthly benevolence and provide cards, gifts, and prayers for the shut-in church members. Along with flowers for the sanctuary and through-out the church.
Favorite Bible Verse: Ephesians 2: 8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
The women of the UCC of California gather to strengthen their own spiritual life, to nurture the life of our church family, to pray together, and to enjoy the fellowship of believers. They meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 1:00 PM for devotion, Bible study, a mission project, business meeting, and fellowship. Pastor Lovins leads the Bible study February-November. There are also Helpers on Call who are not active participants, but support Guild efforts and projects when needed.
The Guild is active in many projects throughout the year. These include:
Serving celebration of life dinners for church family and friends
Hosting the Confirmation reception
Leading a birthday party for California Care residents
Delivering gifts and cookies to our church family members in care centers
Serving a meal for the annual Community Service Project
Cleaning the kitchen and other such projects as needed
Supporting and promoting the Festival of Sharing with monetary gifts, kits, and Best Choice labels
They also willingly take on other projects in the church as needed or asked to do.
Leader: Abe Rohrbach
Hi, I am a lifelong member of the UCC of California. I have been a farmer my entire adult life. I love being part of this congregation. One of the special things about our congregation is being part of the special organizations available. I started Sunday School at 3 years old and still learn there today. I went to youth fellowship through high school, then joined our Men’s Brotherhood. I enjoy being in choir where we not only sing, we also have great fellowship.The Brotherhood is a group of men of all ages. We meet the fourth Monday of each month. We start with a devotion, usually a short business meeting, then a program of various sorts, quite often a guest speaker with lots of questions and comments from the members. We then take turns at serving refreshments and do lots of visiting. We love to have new people join us. Other activities include Christmas decorating, caroling, a community service project with inmates from the Tipton Correctional Center, and church services at the nursing homes when our church is responsible for services.
Favorite Bible Verse: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
All men of the church are invited and encouraged to be a part of the Brotherhood who meet the fourth Monday evening most months at 7:30 PM. Typical meetings include a devotion, hymn singing, informational and inspirational program, closing with fellowship and refreshments. They take an offering each month to support their various projects around the church and our community.
The Brotherhood are involved in a variety of projects and programs throughout the year. These include:
Community service project with the Methodist Men and Tipton Correctional Center inmates Picture shows Tipton inmate at Sunday worship sharing what the week of service meant to him.
Family fish fry meal with the Central UCC Brotherhood in Jefferson City
Decorate the sanctuary and outdoors for Christmas
Christmas Caroling to care centers and invited homes
They are often involved with the community Crop Walk and help around the church or assist with other projects as requested.
Traditionally, the Brotherhood provides a special anthem during a Lenten service each year.
