It is difficult to determine whether a wine is natural or not, since every winery has its own approach. Some prioritise a holistic approach; others focus on a lifestyle or on a work philosophy.
In any case, calling a wine or sparkling wine natural implies a very low level or no added sulphites – sulphurous acid. You will find fruit and only fruit in the wine. The main work is carried out in the vineyard, not in the cellar.

Monday 3rd January 2022
I am on a roll with keeping up with my journal.
I am absolutely cream crackered this evening! I planned to get up early this morning, but that didn’t happen – probably because I woke up in the middle of the night and struggled to get back to sleep.
Once I finally got out of bed, I made a cups of tea and some breakfast – bacon and scrambled eggs, before getting dressed. I spent a little while faffing around on my laptop avoiding all of the things I need to do.
My assignment deadline is tomorrow and I have been putting it off to the extent that I had the whole thing to do today. It took all day but I managed to get it don. It isn’t the best but at least it is submitted.
I had a video call with my Mum and I also took my prescription to the doctors.
I am on earlies this week in work and I am not prepared for my alarm in the morning.
Tuesday 4th January 2022
I feel like a zombie today as I woke up at 3am and couldn’t get back to sleep no matter how much I tried.
The day started with trying to get my work laptop sorted but I had to wait for the tech team to start.
In between speaking to various different tech support people I spent time trying to get all of the video footage I wanted to edit together. This meant shuffling things between several different hard drives.
By the time my shift finished my brain was fried and I was SO ready for a hot shower. Whilst I was in the shower I decided to try out having a cold shower after I had washed my hair. It was actually quite refreshing – probably more suited to the morning and helping you wake up.
This evening I am going to watch some telly and read my book before trying to fall asleep at a reasonable time.
Wednesday 5th January 2022
It has been a funny kind of day today.
I was meant to be working however due to my work laptop issues I have been waiting for various different people to call me throughout the day.
Once I had checked in with work and I ate my breakfast and drank a cup of tea. I also sorted my washing out and had a video call with my parents. After that I watched some videos on YouTube before finishing off a blogpost I have been writing.
I have spoken with several different tech people about the issue with my work laptop and it has now been passed on to someone else.
After work I walked down to the post off to send my uncle’s birthday card. I also popped into the shop and bought some cookies for my study sessions.
I also made a start on decluttering a few things . I had a ridiculous amount of reusable shopping bags so I picked a couple which had nice designs and got rid of the rest.
Bev had made a roast dinner tonight which I ate whilst doing some of my uni reading.
I started editing a YouTube video and had several issues with the software crashing.
I had a quick shower before tidying up a little bit.
I plan to read for the rest of the evening . I am so glad I don’t have an alarm in the morning.
Thursday 6th January 2022
I REALLY wish I knew why I keep waking up at 3am and not being able to fall back to sleep
I finally managed to get up at 8 am and made myself a cups of tea whilst having a chat with Keith.
I also had confirmation I am getting a replacement work laptop which is a bit of good news.
I have spent all day changing my room around and getting rid of stuff that I don’t need or use. I definitely prefer my room set up like this as it feels much bigger. There is still some bits I need to sort through tomorrow but I have done the majority of it today.
I am hoping to have a proper nights sleep tonight.
Friday 7th January 2022
I was absolutely out of it last night. Which makes up from the night before. I also had a bit of a lay in which was nice.
I got up and had my morning cups of tea with some toast before carrying on with sorting my room out.
I didn’t have as much left to do compared to yesterday. I t has taken me pretty much all day to go through the last bits and pieces. Although it is one of those things I have been wanting to do for ages and am really glad I have done. I also really like the way my desk is set up now as it feels as though there is more room around it.
This evening I ate my dinner and watched Stay Close on Netflix. I also had another cold shower which I have been enjoying the last few days.
Saturday 8th January 2022
Well today has not gone to plan at all.
I felt a bit off this morning, I started coughing, as well as feeling unusually cold so I decided to do a lateral flow test. It came back positive so I booked a PCR test for during my lunch break.
My head has been pounding on and off all day, my chest hurts and my cough comes and goes. All of this has wiped me out and made me feel SO tired.
On the plus side I still have an appetite.
I have had a message from track and trace to say my isolation will end on the 15th January.
Sunday 9th January 2022
I slept for SO long. My body just couldn’t wake up and I just slept for as long as I needed to.
My PCR has come back positive… Covid round 2 here we go.
The cough is harsh and hurts my chest. It also gave me a headache this morning, not fun at all.
I managed to get myself in the shower as I got really hot in the night and felt gross.
I keep going hot and cold and crawling back into bed. | <urn:uuid:cb7a1fa5-ff9f-4b53-9f7d-121bf6c1cb15> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://staceylipowski.com/2022/01/10/weekly-diary-3rd-9th-january-2022-covid-round-2/ | 2022-01-28T11:44:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.988694 | 1,227 |
Pattern Recognition: Impact of Exercises Modes on Developing a Small Ball Throwing Skill in Boys Aged 8
The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of exercises modes on developing a small ball throwing skill in boys aged 8.
Materials and methods. The study participants were 21 boys aged 8, who were randomly divided into three groups of 7 people. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment.
The study examined the influence of the number of repetitions on the effectiveness of teaching boys aged 8 throwing a small ball at a target. A pedagogical experiment examined the influence of 6, 12, and 18 repetitions with a 60-second rest interval on the increase in the level of proficiency in exercises of boys aged 8. In the first group, the boys repeated the task 6 times with a rest interval of 60 s, in the second group – 12 times with a rest interval of 60 s, in the third group 18 times with a rest interval of 60 s. When teaching throwing exercises during the class, the study evaluated the level of proficiency by the alternative method (“performed”, “failed”) and calculated the probability of exercise performance (p = n/m, where n is the number of successful attempts, m is the total number of attempts).
In teaching boys aged 8, the method of algorithmic instructions was used. The next exercise started after three successful attempts. Throwing a ball at a vertical target was taught.
The study materials were processed by the IBM SPSS 20 statistical analysis software. During discriminant analysis, a prognostic model for group membership was created.
Results. Discriminant analysis made it possible to determine the impact of the number of repetitions on the effectiveness of developing the skills of throwing a small ball at a target; answer the question as to how significantly the modes of repetitions differ by the effectiveness of motor skills development, what class the object belongs to based on the values of discriminant variables.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis of group centroids, it was found that in boys aged 8, six repetitions of the exercise (6 sets one time with a rest interval of 60 s) significantly influence the increase in the level of proficiency in exercises during physical education lessons.
The results of group classification show that 85.7% of the original grouped observations were classified correctly.

How Big SEO Changes rel=nofollow, rel=sponsored, rel=ugc Links Impact SEO?
The SEO world was thrown for a loop when Google announced major changes to how Nofollow links should be marked. While the modifications were useful in terms of helping Google comprehend the web, they also generated some uncertainty and sparked a lot of questions.
The importance of links in SEO cannot be overstated. Without trusted links Google, Bing, Yandex and other major search engines may not crawl your pages or consider they are unimportant. However, there are occasions when you may want Google to ignore the link.
Alternatively, you might inform search engines that a particular URL is sponsored or has been added to your page by a visitor or user.
What will happen with that? And how do you put this into action on your website? Find out everything you need to know about sponsored, nofollow, and ugc links right here!
Google made three significant announcements starting on March 1, 2020. And Google already supports all attributes. They have radically altered the SEO practice. They are as follows:
- The rel=”nofollow” attribute Google search engine will see as a suggestion rather than a strong signal.
- The rel=”sponsored” link attribute is a new one that highlights sponsored and affiliate links.
- The rel=”usg” link attribute is a new link attribute that is used to emphasize links in user-generated content.
Sure, this is surprising!
Let's take a closer look at what this means for SEO and the World wide web. So keep reading!
Search Engine Optimization and Links
Search engines can be counted as a 'vote' to your linked pages by connecting to another website. As a result, pages with a large number of such ‘votes' from authoritative and reliable websites may rank higher in the search results. Because they in turn will become more trustworthy by search engines. For this reason, now links become a tradeable commodity.
That's why a smart SEO plan should always examine how your content marketing and PAGE RANK efforts will persuade other trusted websites to link to you.
However, what if, without a vote for the page, you want to link to it? And what prevents other webmasters from finding ways of cheating the system like posting links on your website, forums, social media profiles or forms for comment?
In these cases, a specific type of link needs to be used to tell the search engines not to rely on it.
The nofollow Attribute
"Nofollow" is an attribute that says "Don't follow this particular link" to Google. Through such links, PageRank was not transmitted.
Once you added other’s website URL in your blog post and wanted Google to ignore that link, you should use rel="nofollow" attribute.
The most common use of rel="nofollow" is:
- By large publishers who did not want to consider every single outgoing link in large numbers (handy but arguable).
- By sites with links that are sponsored.
- Webmasters, anxious or unwilling to share their PageRank with other websites.
The Sponsored Attribute
The ‘sponsored’ attribute is being used to classify links that are expressly the product of a paid placement. Such as sponsored placements, advertorials, and paid links.
According to Google, the sponsored attribute should be used on any advertisement or link that is paid for in some form. The reason behind this, Google considers links to a page to be an endorsement. And when you add a link to an article as a useful resource you want to share it with your users. When you are paid to put a link to another website on your website, your motive is different search engines examine that particular URL.
However, it is possible that you wouldn't link to it if you weren't compensated. Google can tell the difference between these "unnatural links" and regular links because of adding the sponsored property.
We recommend adding the ‘nofollow’ tag to this type of link as well because many other search engines don't recognize this sponsored attribute yet.
rel="sponsored" is a brand-new attribute for links that are in any manner sponsored.
This attribute is applicable to the following purposes:
- Links that have been sponsored
- Advertisements with affiliate links
- Direct Ads
The UGC Attribute
The 'ugc' attribute should be used to isolate user-generated URLs. When users of your website freely produce content or leave active links on it, such as on the website or blog’s comment section, you should utilize the 'ugc' property.
If you're using WordPress, you won't have to worry about this property because WordPress automatically applies an ugc attribute and a nofollow attribute. And Blogger platform users need to use manually in their theme.
the author links in a comment form that aren't inherently trusted or endorsed by the page's publisher.
rel="UGC" user Generated Content (UGC) refers to content submitted by users.
The following are some common examples:
- Comments on a blog (example: comments to this post)
- Sites and forums dedicated to Question and Answers (for example Quora, Google Webmaster Forum and other QandA websites).
- Platforms for blogging (Blogger, Medium etc.)
Combination of the Attributes
Yes, you may use several rel values on a single link. Although each of these properties describes a particular type of link, many rel attributes can be used in a single link. A sponsored and nofollow attribute, for example, can coexist in the same link:Example link:
<a href="https://www.example.com" rel="nofollow sponsored">example link</a>
The main reason behind using 2 attributes together, not all search engines accept the two new rel elements. So using the nofollow attribute in combination with the sponsored or ugc attributes is recommended.
rel="ugc sponsored" is a totally legitimate property that indicates that the link is sponsored and originates from user-generated content.
You can use nofollow with the new attributes, such as rel="nofollow ugc" to be backwards-compatible with services that don't support the new characteristics.
Example link:<a href="https://www.example.com" rel="nofollow ugc">example link</a>
While there is no convincing reason to do so, every SEO must make their own judgment.
Having said that, it shouldn't hurt to make the switch as long as you mark paid links appropriately with "nofollow" or "sponsored". For example, The BloggerSpice Blog may alter the comment links rel="nofollow" to rel="ugc" or, more likely, rel="nofollow ugc" in the future.
Finally, if you use the "sponsored" attribute, putting paid links then your blog will become safer and not going to get any Google penalty. | <urn:uuid:58136ace-2267-4f4d-ad0a-23c235668b18> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.bloggerspice.com/2021/07/nofollow-sponsored-ugc-attributes.html | 2022-01-28T11:40:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.927215 | 1,471 |

It was pretty obvious when Max Pacioretty went down for 3-4 weeks after emergency surgery, but Alex Galchenyuk was informed today that he won't be riding buses around Ontario ever again.
It only took 4 games, 1 goal and 2 assists, for the Canadiens to know that Galchenyuk is ready for the show. The third line of Brandon Prust, Galchenyuk, and fellow rookie Brendan Gallagher has been exciting every time they step on the ice, and they've already developed some serious chemistry.
The line is being managed brilliantly by Michel Therrien, Each player getting between 56.3 and 61.1% offensive zone starts at even strength, creating an offensive exploitation line that Therrien uses much more often when the team is up by a goal or two.
This usage means that the line is much more subject to score effects than other lines. As you can see here if you sort by situations, the Canadiens have been solidly in the top 1/3 of the league in Fenwick Tied and Fenwick Close, and absolutely dominant when they get one goal.
However they sit back like crazy when up by two goals, which is normal, but also a big reason why Prust, Galchenyuk, and Gallagher are getting blitzed on possession. Most of their even strength ice time has been after the team is up by 2.
It's difficult to gain much knowledge out of possession stats after just 4 games, but Galchenyuk is actually facing some solid competition, with a positive Corsi Relative Quality of Competition rating of 0.433, higher than David Desharnais.
The Galchenyuk line is getting some unsustainable luck though, with a shooting percentage as a line around 18% at even strength, and a .950 save percentage from Carey Price.
With two rookies on the line though, it's quite possible that they will improve their possession enough during the year that a regression to the mean won't make them look too bad.
For now, the line is exciting, and I'm looking forward to seeing another 44 or more games of Galchenyuk. | <urn:uuid:bf5842a3-446b-464f-bca0-c218ca6c8587> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2013/1/28/3924632/alex-galchenyuk-to-remain-in-the-nhl-with-the-montreal-canadiens | 2022-01-28T11:31:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977861 | 436 |
KATHLEEN "KATHY" TESSITORE MCCARTER
December 28, 2020
McCarter, Kathleen Tessitore, “Kathy”, of Hingham, died peacefully, on Monday, December 28, 2020 at the Pat Roche Hospice Home in Hingham. She was 73.
Born in Boston on March 21, 1947, she was raised in Dedham and was the daughter of the late Francis and Eleanor (Sbardella) Tessitore. Kathy attended local schools and graduated from Dedham High School with the Class of 1965. After high school, Kathy continued her education at Boston College, where she earned her undergraduate and master’s degree in Counseling. Kathy worked as a mental health counselor for many years and enjoyed the relationships she built throughout the years.
Kathy was a selfless, devoted, intelligent and loving person. Beautiful inside and out, a consummate wife, mother, homemaker and hostess, she was an exceptional cook, avid gardener, spirited reader and most of all a loving wife and life partner of her beloved husband Barry and devoted mother to her daughter Jenna.
Kathy loved to laugh and had a knack for making people feel happy and welcome. She was very artistic and loved putting her skills to work creating a beautiful environment, both inside and out, for the home that she loved. She loved creating beautiful gardens and habitats for the birds. She particularly loved decorating her home for the Christmas season, her favorite time of the year.
In her spare time Kathy enjoyed gardening, playing tennis, golfing, and skiing. She was a member of the Hingham Garden Club and the Cohasset Golf Club for over thirty years.
Kathy will always be with her family in the memories of foods and floras’ and the home she created, in her pride of their being, in the celebrations of life, the Christmas extravaganzas; and notably in the silence and quiet of life. Her family was central to her being and she always set an exceptional example while caring for those she loved. Her life lessons and examples are part of her legacy that continue through her family. She will be dearly missed by all the lives she touched.
Kathy was the beloved wife of Barry J. McCarter. The two married on March 17, 1985 in St. Paul's Church in Hingham. Together they shared 35 wonderful years of marriage. She was the loving and devoted mother of Jenna P. McCarter of Hingham and is also survived by many loving cousins, extended family and friends.

Medically Reviewed by Dr. Mohammed Saeed, MD.
Fentanyl is an opioid, often prescribed by doctors to control serious chronic pain. Because fentanyl can have severe, even life-threatening side effects, it is not usually prescribed unless other remedies have failed. It’s most often used to treat pain experienced by cancer patients, and for those for whom other opioids are no longer effective. Fentanyl users are at high risk for abuse and dependence and must be closely monitored by medical professionals.
How Do Opioids Affect the Brain?
As with other opioid drugs, fentanyl affects the opioid centers of the brain, altering how your body experiences pain. It affects how pain messages are sent throughout the body, both throughout the spinal cord and the central nervous system. Even though fentanyl mimics natural opioids in the body, its effects are much stronger.
The purpose of the body’s natural opioids is to trigger feelings in the body of relaxation and well-being. Opioids also control the pleasure and reward center of the brain. Opioids do this by causing a rush of dopamine – the feel-good hormone – throughout the body. Fentanyl, and other opioid drugs, trigger these pleasure reactions at much more intense levels than would happen naturally. Repeated use of opioids makes the brain less sensitive to their presence, so more is needed to achieve the desired effect, leading to dependence and abuse.
What are the Physical Effects of Fentanyl?
Although fentanyl is effective at relieving pain, the side effects can be life-threatening. Fentanyl users are at increased risk of respiratory depression, causing slow, shallow breathing, which can be fatal.
Fentanyl abuse is often characterized by euphoria, drowsiness, and lethargy, and can include many other symptoms, some quite severe. The following side effects can occur even when the drug is used as prescribed:
- Dry mouth
- Extreme fatigue
- Dizziness, feeling light headed
- Trouble concentrating
- Vision Problems – constricted pupils, difficulty seeing
- Stiff or rigid muscles
- Urine retention
- Severe Constipation
- Itching or hives
- Nausea and vomiting
- Appetite loss
- Weight loss
- Insomnia, bad dreams
- Sweating, often while sleeping
- Swollen or inflamed arms and legs
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 70,000 drug overdose deaths were reported in 2017. Synthetic opioids were responsible for 67.8% of those deaths. | <urn:uuid:61a25d89-4326-4161-a38e-81924f66653a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.intoactionrecovery.com/what-does-fentanyl-do-to-your-body/ | 2022-01-28T10:53:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.941052 | 550 |

Dana White Listens to Joe Rogan, Beats C*VID, and Has Message to Haters: 'What Doesn't Make Sense to Me...'
Dana White is not a doctor. Neither is Aaron Rodgers. Joe Rogan is double not a doctor. Yet, for inexplicable non-CDC approved reasons (click here for what the CDC wants you to know) the way Joe Rogan treated his 'rona worked. Dana White tried it, and he beat the 'rona in twenty-four hours. "The science" would rather you isolate for ten days and pray for the best. I'm not a doctor, just like Dana White isn't. In my non-doctor opinion, he makes a lot of sense when it comes to making viruses tap out.
Dana White Says He's COVID-19 Free, 'Thank You, Dr. Joe Rogan' | TMZ Sports youtu.be
"What doesn't make sense to me is, here's the alternative... [They] tell you go isolate yourself in a room for ten days away from everybody. And if you start to die, go to the hospital."
Note to "independent" "fact"-checkers, Dana White was being sarcastic about the dying part.
One of the things Dana White did was take what CNN reports is "horse dewormer." After pointing out how Dr. Joe Rogan got CNN's Chief Medical Content Creator to admit that CNN lied, White brought up a point more people need to bring up. With every other illness, there are multiple ways to treat it. Yet for this one illness, there is only one way. And if you do anything else, the fangs come out.
"It's crazy. 500 people have different remedies for the common cold. Nobody attacks anybody."
It's almost as if there is something else going on other than a virus. It is less about beating a virus or getting healthy, and more about you shutting up and doing what the government tells you. But that's crazy talk.

Born and schooled in Budapest, active in Haifa until 1957 and later in Paris, Yona Friedman, like many of his contemporaries, has concentrated on the scale of the city as it has evolved. His proposed ideal architecture is open in character, as this drawing for his Spatial City Project shows. The Spatial City is a unit that can be repeated ad infinitum. All of the structural elements connected to the individual user, such as walls, floor slabs, and partitions, are radically mobile, and the architecture deliberately avoids committing itself to any particular style or pattern of use. Versatile and free as Friedman's composition is, however, it is contained by a superior order, on which it relies: the wide grid of pillars and slabs on which it stands. Friedman called this grid the "spatial infrastructure," and designed it for collective use. The user's determination was to play as important a role in it as the architect's: "Mobile architecture looks for techniques which don't impose a preconceived plan. . . . It is the user who makes the project with a potential 'designer's participation.'" The design of Friedman's ideal city is only perfected in its use.
The concept of mobile architecture was Friedman's contribution to the tenth International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM) in Dubrovnik in 1956. It was during this session of the congress that modernism was famously called into question as an outdated, static scheme inappropriate for new global realities. Friedman's concept highlighted the relationship between social dynamics and architecture in the proto-postmodern world, and suggested to architects how they could include that relationship in their thinking about the future.
Publication excerpt from an essay by Paola Antonelli, in Matilda McQuaid, ed., Envisioning Architecture: Drawings from The Museum of Modern Art, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2002, p. 128.
The Spatial City (Ville spatiale) is an unrealized theoretical construct inspired by the housing shortage in France during the late 1950s and by Yona Friedman's deep belief that housing plans and structures should allow for the free will of the individual inhabitants. Not wanting to displace the city below, Friedman raised a second city fifteen to twenty meters above the existing one. The framework was to be erected first, and the residences conceived and built by the inhabitants inserted into the voids of the structure. The layout of each level would occupy no more than fifty percent of the overall structure in order to provide air and light to each residence as well as to the city below. The project was designed for construction anywhere, and meant to be adapted to any climate.

Not every home can accommodate a wall bed, especially older homes with original walls.
By definition, wall bed needs to be secured to the wall, so that tension from the bed frame being lowered is absorbed by the fasteners, and bed doesn’t tip over. We designed this conversion kit to add extra support to the front of the wall bed so it doesn’t need a strong bond with the wall, or even none at all.
2 steel support legs are attached to the bottom front of the wall bed on both sides to provide stability while it’s being open.
The kit can be used with all Multimo wall beds. It is strongly advised to be extra cautious and still secure a bed to the wall, especially with vertical beds. Most horizontal beds will be stable enough with just support legs.
|Heavy use||The wall bed is built to be used daily in hotels, dorms, rental properties etc.| | <urn:uuid:1c79f0b5-b1b7-46f1-8eca-a97042ecc430> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.multimobeds.com/free-standing-wall-bed-support-conversion-kit | 2022-01-28T11:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.91241 | 221 |
At Kayal Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists, we are dedicated to helping you achieve optimal skin health at every stage of life. However, we also value the importance of helping patients feel confident in their skin too. Our cosmetic services are designed to do just that. Our Marietta dermatology practice is proud to extend our full menu of noninvasive cosmetic procedures to include the innovative CoolSculpting technology. With CoolSculpting, patients can safely reduce unwanted fat without needles or surgery. In fact, our advanced fat freezing methods are convenient and comfortable, requiring no social downtime or painful recovery.
If you have stubborn areas of fat that seem to be resistant to diet and exercise, CoolSculpting could be an excellent solution for you. Dr. Kayal is an experienced and highly respected dermatologist that only invests in proven technology that is safe and FDA approved. The Zeltiq CoolSculpting technology is considered a breakthrough treatment for those that want to get rid of unwanted fat in problem areas such as the abdomen, flank area (“muffin top” or “love handles”), thighs, chin or upper arms.
How Does Fat Freezing Work?
CoolSculpting is a highly advanced technology that relies on cryolipolysis, a proven scientific idea that uses cold to target and destroy fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin or tissues. CoolSculpting involves a safe and controlled cooling application to gently target fat cells underneath the skin. During the treatment, patients can comfortably read, take a nap or scroll through their smartphone as they wish.
After the procedure, the treated fat cells are crystallized or frozen, which causes them to die. In the coming weeks, your body will naturally process and eliminate these dead fat deposits, creating a more confident and sculpted you. While full results won’t be attained until about 90 days after your CoolSculpting session, you can expect an effective, long-term solution from this fat reduction technology.
Are you a candidate for Zeltiq Fat Freezing using CoolSculpting technology? Contact Kayal Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists today to schedule your consultation. CoolSculpting relies on sound science and is backed by years of research and multiple peer-reviewed publications by the country’s leading doctors. | <urn:uuid:6b948c91-0ea0-4856-b6b2-b4d28458bf83> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.nwgadermatologists.com/coolsculpting/ | 2022-01-28T10:56:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.939329 | 484 |
Up to 80 percent of Americans living in Mississippi and throughout the country have some form of debt. However, for some, that debt may become too large to manage in an effective manner. To start the process of lowering credit card and other balances, it is important to understand the different options available to achieve that goal. One such option is to apply for a personal loan.
Personal loans allow individuals to consolidate a variety of different debt balances into one payment. Typically, these loans come at a lower interest rate than credit card companies charge. This results in lower monthly payments and the ability for an individual to improve his or her credit score. Another option for those with credit card debt is to transfer balances to to a new credit card with a lower interest rate.
It is important to understand that zero percent interest offers only apply for a limited time. After about 12 to 14 months, the interest rate on a remaining balance could be up to 15 percent. Individuals who can’t or don’t want to make use of those options could choose to work with a debt relief company that will negotiate with lenders on a debtor’s behalf. Instead of sending payments directly to creditors, payments are made to the debt relief company instead.
There are many ways in which a person may be able to overcome financial challenges. In addition to debt consolidation or working with a debt relief company, it may be possible to file for bankruptcy. Depending on a person’s income and asset levels, debts can either be discharged immediately or discharged over a series of three or five years. An attorney may describe the pros and cons of using bankruptcy or other debt relief options. | <urn:uuid:ce17c144-9177-4f69-a6a8-fd68fc053c41> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.obrienfirm.com/blog/2018/05/different-ways-to-obtain-debt-relief/ | 2022-01-28T11:58:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.958126 | 333 |

Hospital Restructuring: Implications for Patient Outcomes and Workforce Policy
The Problem. In an effort to contain rapidly rising health care costs, many U.S. hospitals have changed the way in which treatment and care are delivered to patients and the way nurses' work is organized and managed. Cost-cutting measures, such as employing fewer and less-experienced nurses, and working them longer hours, may be compromising quality of care, experts believe. How can hospitals address these systemic issues so that nurses can effectively deliver the care that patients deserve?
Grantee background. In Gainesville, Fla., where Linda Aiken grew up, local life centered on the University of Florida, and getting in was her "number one goal." Born in 1943, she was part of an era "when most women who went to college were planning to become either teachers or nurses. In retrospect, that's probably why I didn't think of med school. But it worked out better this way."
At a time when most nurses were still being trained in three-year hospital-sponsored diploma programs, the university offered an ambitious four-year nursing baccalaureate, and Aiken found herself being closely mentored by a group of medical professionals who emphasized the importance of evidence-based practice and careful research. They fostered what Aiken later described as a crop of promising young "troublemakers" intent on remaking the profession.
Her first job after graduating cum laude in 1964 was in the heart surgery unit at Shands University of Florida Hospital. After a year in the trenches, she went back for more training, getting her master's degree as a clinical nurse specialist in heart surgery. In 1967—now married, and the mother of two small children—she moved to the University of Missouri Medical Center, where she spent three more years "nursing the sickest patients in the ICU" and instructing student nurses in their care.
While at Missouri, Aiken began to get an uncomfortably up-close view of the contradictions and limits of hospital culture. No matter how dedicated an individual nurse was, or how many extra hours she was willing to work, it was clear to Aiken that real improvements in patient care would never come without profound institutional changes.
"I realized that there was something broken about the environment," Aiken says. "The environment makes it almost impossible to provide good nursing care—terrible communications, never enough staff. And as soon as you'd dream up a new solution, there'd be a budget cut. It was a constant process of putting band-aids on big problems."
Her experiences in the field pushed Aiken to broaden her understanding of the larger forces at work in the health care system. In 1970, when her husband took a job at the University of Texas at Austin, Aiken pursued a PhD degree in sociology, with a concentration in demography. After graduating in 1974, she landed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Her mentor at Madison was David Mechanic, PhD, who had received one of the first grants funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Since 2000, Mechanic has headed the Foundation's Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research program.
Founded just two years previously, RWJF was looking for new program officers, and Mechanic recommended Aiken, who became an early RWJF staffer—at the time one of only a handful of women and the only one with a background in nursing. It was a challenging career change with a steep institutional learning curve, but once again, Aiken found herself surrounded by mentors. She moved up through the ranks, becoming a vice president of the Foundation in 1981, a post she held until 1987.
Aiken's research training and clinical perspective positioned her to advocate persuasively for major new programs to improve the quality of nursing. In the early 1980s, she helped launch the Clinical Nurse Scholars Program, modeled on RWJF's Clinical Scholars Program for physicians, and the Teaching Nursing Home Program, designed in response to the exposure of widespread abuses in the nursing home industry.
Returning to academic life in 1988, the expertise she gained at RWJF readily translated into an endowed professorship at the University of Pennsylvania where she is the Claire M. Fagin Leadership Professor of Nursing, professor of sociology, and director of the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research. "I really got my education in health policy at RWJ," Aiken says.
Research on the culture of hospitals. In 1989, she set up the center to explore organizational effectiveness in health care with the potential to affect patient outcomes. One of the first large studies the center undertook, starting in 1991, was a national study of dedicated AIDS units to test her theories about the impact of hospital culture on nurses and patient care.
Aiken and her research team developed "a survey-based measure of the culture and context of care delivery" that was based on an earlier instrument developed by Marlene Kramer in the 1980s called the Nursing Work Index (NWI). It was designed to measure nurses' satisfaction with various aspects of their work.
In preparation for the national AIDS study, Aiken modified the NWI to create a new research instrument called the Revised Nursing Work Index (NWI-R), which would make it possible to empirically measure and describe the quality of the nursing work environment itself. With NWI-R, nurses rate the culture of their own hospitals and the context within which they deliver care. Survey responses are then aggregated to create a map of hospital work environments. (Over time, subscales of the NWI-R were refined and five of the subscales became known as the Practice Environment Scale, which the National Quality Forum endorsed as a nurse-sensitive measure of hospital quality.
Outcomes of the research. One of the most important outcomes of the NWI-R study was Aiken's realization that "we needed a different research strategy that did not involve recruiting hospitals." In the center's next big study, funded by the NIH Institute for Nursing Research and launched in 1996, "we used the same survey instrument but instead of recruiting hospitals, we surveyed 50 percent of all nurses licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and asked them to provide the names of their employing hospitals."
With this innovation, they were able to "create a unique database on all 210 hospitals in Pennsylvania without having to recruit any hospitals directly," adding to the information nurses provided about these hospitals by linking their nurse survey data with patient discharge outcomes reported to a state agency.
Over the last decade, Aiken and other researchers have made rich use of this mother lode of data to pinpoint crucial interactions between nurses and their patients and other medical staff—from monitoring vital signs and managing pain to ensuring that precautions against infection are scrupulously followed. They have been able to map out the consequences of understaffing, budget cutting, extended shifts and nurse burnout. Study after study, says Aiken, "shows that the greatest single major change a hospital could make [to ensure quality care] would be to improve the nursing environment."
Role of Aiken's Investigator Award. In 1998, Aiken received an award from the RWJF Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research program. Her project focused on how aspects of human resource allocation and hospital organization might be modified or shaped to yield better outcomes given financial constraints.
Aiken credits the Investigator Award with helping her to move her "program of research to the next levels of national and international impact." In the course of her project, she learned how to translate research findings for general and policy audiences, and to "craft a more succinct message than is generally the case in scientific writing—and the impact of our publications increased significantly as a result." The grant also helped make it possible over time to greatly expand the scope of the center's research efforts.
Findings. Among the findings made possible by Aiken's work cross-referencing data from nurses with patient outcomes:
- "Patients cared for on units that nurses characterized as having adequate staff, good administrative support for nursing care, and good relations between doctors and nurses were more than twice as likely as other patients to report high satisfaction with their care, and their nurses reported significantly lower burnout." Vahey DC et al. "Nurse Burnout and Patient Satisfaction." Medical Care, 42(2, supplement): 2004.
- "The likelihood of making an error increased with longer work hours and was three times higher when nurses worked shifts lasting 12.5 hours or more." Rogers AE. et al. "The Working Hours of Hospital Staff Nurses and Patient Safety." Health Affairs, 23(4): 2004.
- "In hospitals with higher proportions of nurses educated at the baccalaureate level or higher, surgical patients experienced lower mortality and failure-to-rescue rates [death following the occurrence of an adverse event during hospitalization]." Aiken L et al. "Educational Levels of Hospital Nurses and Surgical Patient Mortality," Journal of the American Medical Association, 290(12): 2003.
- The odds of dying following common surgical procedures are reduced by 19 percent in environments that nurses rate better for nursing practice. Aiken L et al. "Effects of Hospital Care Environment on Patient Mortality and Nurse Outcomes, Journal of Nursing Administration, 38(5): 2008.
Moving forward. Aiken believes the accumulation of research has changed the nature of the debate about nursing shortages and their consequences, and about the outcomes of hospital restructuring.
As evidence she points to the Institute of Medicine's study of the nurse practice environment and patient safety presented in Keeping Patients Safe: Transforming the Work Environment of Nurses (2004).
Aiken and her team are now extending their research on nursing and quality of hospital care to 12 countries in Europe, as well as to other regions of the world, to gain fresh insight into the interplay of nurses and the quality of care and to help frame the next set of research questions.
"Most countries spend less and get better results than we do," Aiken says. "How do they deploy their workforce to achieve these better outcomes at lower cost?" One answer is they don't shorten hospital stays.
"The U.S. keeps trying to reduce costs by reducing the length of a hospital stay. Remember in the old days, how you came in the day before surgery to be prepped? Now everything is concentrated in one high intensity day." She notes that this requires a higher ratio of nurses to patients. "There's a 1 to 5 nurse-to-patient ratio in the U.S.; in the U.K., nurses take care of 10 patients." Shortening patient stays is a false economy, says Aiken, because "to keep care safe, we have to have more and more nurses."
Yet another issue that threatens to undermine the quality of American nursing is one close to Aiken's heart—the shortage of senior nurses qualified to teach the next generation. Not only is this bad for patients in hospital, she says, but "unless the majority of nurses get baccalaureates, and a significant number go on and get masters, there won't be sufficient faculty to meet the demand for skilled nurses in the future."
My main challenge," Aiken says, "is to get people to understand that all medical issues"—from quality of care, to broad-based health reform—"involve nursing."
RWJF Perspective. "One of the important criteria for selecting investigators is the likelihood that their work will inform health policy," says Lori Melichar, PhD, RWJF director.
"Equally important to being selected is the promise of the investigator's proposal to rejuvenate the field of health policy research by asking innovative questions, applying innovative frameworks and using innovative methods." | <urn:uuid:9db9804c-2bf8-4976-bb06-5e2f753e51cd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/articles-and-news/2010/10/hospital-restructuring-implications-for-patient-outcomes-and-wor.html | 2022-01-28T12:02:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.96797 | 2,415 |

Mat Irvine: The Titan IIIC is a reissue of a kit first released in 1970, and with the Vostok, was unique in being primarily a static model, but one that could also fly with the aid of an Estes-type solid-rocket motor. I wrote the text for the box bottom (below). Well, most of it…
The original booklet (below middle) is reproduced for this reissue.
Parts layout (below). Note that this is a test shot, so the runner at bottom right has yet to be chromed.
What a difference a decal makes. The original set (below) next to the much larger and better new sheet that is now supplied. Only the US stars and bars remain the same. The lettering is now correctly printed in black, not red.
One method of support is to drill holes in the boosters, then fit them to rods attached to a wood base.
First time round, here is the portrait-format box (below) as supplied for the original kit.

Bond (noun, “BOND”)
In chemistry, a bond is an attachment between atoms. Bonds form because atoms are made of particles with electrical charges. The center of an atom contains particles with a positive charge, and particles with no charge. The particles around the outside of an atom each have a negative charge. Have you heard the saying “opposites attract?” It applies in chemistry, too. The attraction between negative charges in one atom and positive charges in another is the basis for a chemical bond
Chemical bonds between individual atoms form molecules. Bonds can also form between the atoms in molecules and other atoms or molecules nearby. Chemical bonds form every solid thing on Earth — from huge boulders to the cells in your body.
There are many kinds of chemical bonds. All of them require energy to form, and energy to break. Every chemical reaction involves a change in chemical bonds as atoms get added or removed from molecules. That’s why all chemical reactions involve energy.

Bonds between hydrogen atoms might help explain why hot water freezes faster than cold water. | <urn:uuid:f0ca7468-aba5-4eb5-8f63-fed8547840b3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/scientists-say-bond | 2022-01-28T12:02:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.934927 | 229 |
My friend Aleisha confessed to me that she had been attending an unusual "club"… for decluttering! There has been an interest around here in minimalism, capsule wardrobes, & the like, so I asked Aleisha to share her experience with us.
What in the world!? How did you end up in a decluttering club? Is that a thing?
Last fall, my friend Ronda invited me to join her "decluttering group." She's an insightful, interesting woman, and I knew that whatever she was into would be legit — thought out, and definitely not a waste of time. Quite honestly, she had me at the thought of coming over for coffee and treats on aFriday morning!
It turned out to be an amazing, re-energizing experience that quite frankly was one of the most valuable things I did all year — and this is coming from a mom of 3 young kids... time doesn't grow on trees in this stage of life.
What is decluttering?
As you may or may not know, decluttering is a "bit" of a movement. (insert sarcasm)
Just peruse the magazine section at the grocery store to see "49 Tips for Decluttering Your Home," or " 365 Decluttering: Daily 15-Minute Missions," or my favourite, "60 Things to Toss Out in the Next 60 Days." It's kind of everywhere.
Overall, "decluttering" is about clearing out the clutter and having less stuff.
For me personally, it wasn't about being organized or tidy (a worthwhile pursuit), or spending less money on stuff (also noble), but really about exploring this philosophy of having "enough." [ed. note: we are interested in that, too!]
What resources did you use?
The group followed a weekly video series by Joshua Becker, called "Uncluttered". The series is based on his book The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own, so I suppose you could get a lot of the same info out of the book or even his blog. But, the course had videos that we watched together, and a bunch of extra resources to help practically apply the theory of it all.
One of his main philosophies is that we, as a society, no longer pursue having "enough", but rather, have been mistakenly led to pursue "excess." When you pursue excess, you will never be able to be satisfied, because our new definition of enough is unachievable.
The reality, he states, is:
"...we already have enough. Once we train ourselves to recognize this truth, we are freed from the pursuit of more, we are liberated from the bondage of discontent, and we begin to experience true freedom in our lives.
Best of all, once we realize we already own enough, we are freed to pursue more worthy endeavors than the accumulation of excess."
Is this like a “book club” where it’s really about drinking wine? Did anyone successfully declutter?
Don't get me wrong — it wasn't perfect! There was a week where we all planned to bring our "excess" to Ronda's, as she had planned for a Goodwill pick-up. It may have slightly turned into yardsale on her front lawn... like, "Oooh, what is that I see in your pile there?!" 😂 Most of us did not go home empty-handed that day!
But, of course, nobody is perfect, and that wasn't the goal. Overall, yes, there was a lot of successful decluttering and a lightening of the load, so to speak, in all of our homes.
What are the outcomes you have experienced in your own life?
Well, Josh Becker & the awesome group of gals in the group helped me to see that our 950 sq. foot home didn't need literally half of my wardrobe, two-thirds of our games and toys, some over-sized furniture, unused kitchenware, and multiple books I'll honestly never read again (or even read once, for that matter).
I live in a (culturally) small home for my family of 5, so there is a natural amount of paring down that is just a necessity of a small space. But, honestly, I was shocked at how much I had that I didn't use or didn't need.
It's not like decluttering has solved all my life problems! But overall, I'm starting to see that I have enough. And a tidier house isn't exactly a downside. :)
Thanks for sharing, Aleisha! Continue the conversation & ask Aleisha anything about her experience in our Facebook group. And: Happy decluttering!
It feels so disappointing to me and, well, financially gross, when I’ve spent money on clothes that turn out to be a complete dud. The sweater that gets pilly and gnarly after a couple wearings; the jeans that distort as I wear them or rub down the knees in months.
Conversely, one of my great delights is enjoying clothes that are made well, fit nicely, and hold up because of good workmanship and materials.
But, here's the rub... good quality clothes, made from solid materials, constructed to last: they cost money!
I love to read, and I love to read memoirs. There are loads of lists out there of great memoirs, and, well… this is another one.
Some titles will be familiar & common, though I’ve left out some faves that I’ve already mentioned (many times) before — Born A Crime, The Glass Castle, Bossypants — in favor of other titles [though, truth to tell, I have also mentioned some of these before.]
I hope that you can find something to read over the holidays! Happy Reading!
I've said before that while I advocate for shopping thoughtfully & being slow... I love gifts! Actual, tangible, pull-the-wrapping-off gifts.
We want to make the gifts that we give worth it. Worth the money, the materials, the effort... So, how to choose a thoughtful gift that will be meaningful to the recipient? | <urn:uuid:101bca87-659b-47d2-ae2a-971e2211b144> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.shopdignify.com/blogs/shopgoodblog/decluttering-club | 2022-01-28T13:02:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.97079 | 1,284 |
May your days be happy,
complete with a deep knowing
that you are a child of the Universe,
unique in every way—
and that you are loved.
– Grand Master Lu
Life is meant to be happy. Because of everything we take on and all of the pressures around us, we bog down our daily lives with details. When we get caught in the details, it becomes difficult to look beyond and see the bigger picture. So, today, take a moment to reflect on the larger picture: the knowing that you are a unique and important part of the swirling Universe. Your life and your spirit have an impact on those around you.
Tread lightly. Walk through your days with a smile. Search within for the things that make you happy and help you to feel complete. The answers to happiness, love, prosperity and health will always be found within. | <urn:uuid:5f630e97-d037-4c4d-93de-5b35677a94f4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.tcmworld.org/daily-dose-happiness/ | 2022-01-28T12:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.957725 | 178 |

Recognize This! – Givers find energy when they give in self-protective and personally meaningful ways, and when they are recognized and reminded of how their contributions matter.
It’s not just about giving and taking anymore.
Recent research by Adam Grant and Reb Rebele shows that the type of giving matters – specifically whether you are a “selfless” or a “self-protective” giver.
The selfless types often give indiscriminately, without regard for their own limited resources or time. They can easily become overloaded with requests and are at greater risk of both “generosity burnout” and less effective performance.
“Self-protective givers” – those on the lookout for high-impact, low-cost opportunities to give – can avoid some of those risks. They prioritize requests based on importance, focusing in areas that play to their strengths and contributing in ways that are often personally meaningful.
Consequently, self-protective givers tend to invest more of themselves in the contributions they make, in turn allowing them to make greater contributions.
What kind of giver are you? Take this online assessment to find out.
As Adam and Reb point out:
Article Continues Below
As giving aligns with your interests and skills, it becomes less stressful for you and more valuable to others. Rather than feeling pressured to help, you’re choosing to help, which is good for your motivation, your creativity, and your well-being. Instead of being known as a jack-of-all-trades, you’re seen as a master of a few. That frees you up to focus on helping where you have the most impact — which replenishes your energy by reminding you how much your contributions matter.
As I wrote recently on Compensation Café, that last bit reminded me of a conversation I had recently with a colleague. He recounted something his spouse, a palliative care physician (and a fan of Adam’s work), had told him about giving in a healthcare setting: When you give, it is more than giving your time, resources, or even “capital” — fundamentally it’s about giving of your whole self.
Giving in self-protective and mindful ways, we all are more personally invested and find greater meaning in the help we provide. When we are recognized for that investment and reminded of how our giving matters, we are rejuvenated.
Recognition plays an important role in sustaining the energy of givers, particularly as the level of personal investment and meaning increases. Through a strong culture of recognition, the organization is poised to benefit from the positive spirals of self-protective givers.
How does your organization support giving and the recognition of those givers?

Chinese truck maker SinoTruk has told China Daily that it is targeting strong growth in its export sales in coming years and it has targeted Australia as one of the markets it will be targeting.
SinoTruk has had some limited forays in Australia in the past with several trucks being used in a Chinese owned mine in the Kimberley in the late 2000s.
While saying that it will be consolidating its position in Africa and Southeast Asia, Sinotruk says it will be making forays into developed countries, including Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.
SinoTruk or China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Corp as it is more formally known. is betting big on the overseas market, with the expectation that half of its total sales will come from outside of China by 2020, according to the company.
The Shandong province-based manufacturer exported 33,700 heavy trucks to overseas markets in 2017, which accounted for around 11 per cent of its total sales for the year.
Rising demand in Africa and countries involved in China’s Belt and Road Initiative, has seen SinoTruk receive export orders for 19,356 heavy trucks in the first quarter this year, an increase of closer to 19 per cent year-on-year.
“This is a good start, and we are optimistic about our export sales goal of 40,000 units this year,” said Yang Zhengxu, president of SinoTruk International, the subsidiary dedicated to its overseas operations.
SinoTruk was one of China’s first heavy vehicle manufacturers to begin exploring overseas markets.
“We made it a corporate strategy to go global as early as 2004, and we have been China’s largest heavy truck exporter for 13 years in a row, totalling more than 300,000 units,” Yang said.
SinoTruk has offices in close to 70 countries and is selling trucks in around 110 countries and regions around the globe.
The company also has 15 assembly plants in nine countries, including the Philippines, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Vietnam.
Lan Junjie, general manager of the manufacturer’s international department, said SinoTruk has set a firm goal to increase its presence in developed countries in the future.
“In five to 10 years, we hope that we can compete with rivals like Volvo or Man, technologically,” Lan said.
SinoTruk has also invested heavily in research and development. In China, it has a technology centre in Shandong that said to be one of the best and most advanced of its kind in the world.
Lan said that SinoTruk has been looking closely at new energy vehicles, connectivity and autonomous driving as part of its R&D efforts.
The company is also preparing to establish research and development facilities overseas.
Sinotruk acquired a stake in an electric motor maker in Colorado in the United States in 2017 and the two sides are in discussions to set up a research center dedicated to studies on new energy vehicles, Lan said. | <urn:uuid:8efa21a5-891e-4445-89b5-9b60db249eb8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.truckandbus.net.au/chinese-maker-sinotruk-says-it-could-target-australia/ | 2022-01-28T11:07:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.966937 | 640 |
“Dumb ways to die” set some new records.
It won the most Cannes Lions ever. On YouTube the spot has 51 Million views – not bad for an initiative from Australia for people to watch what they’re doing around train stations etc.

The song made it into the iTunes top 10 within 24 hours, the campaign generated around 50 Million in media coverage and the app was a huge success. Therefore, well done to McCann Melbourne, Australia.

Michael Matthews has been in love with Katherine Moore since the second grade. In Michaels mind there is absolutely nothing that will ever be able to keep the two of them apart. The night Michael is set to propose to Katherine the evening is interrupted by an unexpected tragedy that tears the two of them apart for good.
Three years have passed since that fateful night when Katherine, now known as Kate meets Daniel. After an awkward start sparks fly between them. Daniel and Kate fall hard and fast into the most passionate and intense love affair of their lives. In three years a lot can change, Michael knows he made the biggest mistake of his life when he left Katherine and he will do anything to get her back. Asking his best friend Daniel for help is his first step in righting the wrongs he made so many years ago. Unfortunately, neither of them realizes that Michaels long lost love Katherine is Daniel’s true love Kate.
While attending the engagement party of a mutual friend, all of their paths collide. How is Kate supposed to choose between the two men that mean the most to her in the world? Kate has to push past her heartache and put some serious thought into what comes next. One wrong choice and not only could she lose them both but Daniel and Michael may never recover their friendship.
We only talked a few days ago about the possibility of me putting myself out there again and he’s presumptuous enough to think he can fix me up on my first date in ages? Of course he is; he’s Connor fucking Houston. As pissed off as I am, I have to admit a bit of morbid curiosity as to who it might be.
Over the past year, I have heard all about his best friends Daniel, Jake, Mike, and April. I have yet to meet any of them in person, although I sort of feel like I already know them from Connor’s stories. Connor Houston is HOT! Scott Eastwood hot. Melt in your mouth hot. ‘Yes, you can fuck me right here, right now, in this room full of people just because you looked at me with come fuck me eyes and I don’t even know your name’ kind of hot. I can only begin to imagine what his friends look like.
Jess glares at me and I know I overstepped—she’s upset. “Kate, I’m going to try and ignore the fact that you basically just called me superficial because you and I both know that nothing could be further from the truth. I met the guy two seconds ago and he is HOT, and you, my friend, need to get laid. You haven’t had a relationship in over three years. I want to see you happy. I want to go on double dates. I want to swap sex stories with someone who is actually getting some, but most of all, I want to see that sparkle that has been missing from your gorgeous eyes for the last three years. I know how broken you’ve been, and you have every right to grieve your losses, but it’s time to move on. My god, Katie Grace, you met the man all of ten minutes ago and have already decided he’s a jerk. Maybe he’s nervous. If I were you, I would give it an open mind and see where it goes. If it’s awful, well, you wasted a night. But if he’s great? God, Kate, if he’s great maybe you can be happy again. Besides, I don’t think Connor would set you up with a jerk. He’s way too over protective of you to put you in that kind of situation. When they come back, I’m going to ask Connor to show me around and you need to play nice with Daniel, if for no other reason than to do me a favor. Can you please do that for me?”
His lips are almost brushing against mine, so close I can feel his breath caress my lips… it’s intoxicating. Daniel places one hand on the back of my head, pulling me forward to close the small gap between us as his perfect lips meet mine for a gentle, yet utterly heart-stopping kiss. This is the first kiss fairytales are spun from. My heartbeat is still rapid, my pulse is still racing, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why I have waited so long to find him. This man was obviously made just for me. Daniel stops kissing me, resting his forehead against mine.
I reach up and run my fingers through his hair, and I feel him suck in his breath as he slowly he moves his lips to mine. Gently kissing me, he parts my lips with his tongue, making his way into my mouth. When his tongue caresses mine I feel butterflies in my stomach. What the hell? The feeling is exceptional; it’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. I’m lost in it and to it.
I'm a wife, a mom and a dog lover. I'm also a taxi, problem fixer, extreme multi-tasker and my kids biggest fan in anything that they do. I love to write, so when my career suddenly derailed I turned back to my love of writing. I married my high school sweetheart... how cool is that? Margaritas and sarcasm make me happy.

I am sure this type of question gets asked weekly, but I am not having much luck finding an answer for my specific question here on Reddit or on Google:
Which cross-platform (Windows and OSX) terminal/SSH/connection emulator client do people use?
I have been a long time user of SecureCRT, but after using mobaXterm for a few days, I am realizing that SCRT is really outdated. Programs like mXt seem to do WAY more than SCRT (file transfers, RDP, scripting/macros) ... and they look much better!
The only feature that SCRT had over mXt was cross-functionality between Windows and Mac. SCRT allowed me save my sessions to cloud storage and have them available on my laptop, desktop and my many, many jumphosts. I am in Windows vs Mac about 60/40.
My enterprise license for SCRT is for an older version only, so my manager agreed to let me upgrade to anything of my choice. So far, I have heard Zoc is good, but I haven't looked into too much yet. However, besides SCRT obviously, there really doesn't seem to be too many other options.
I would appreciate people's advice and feedback - you'd think the options would much better in 2017! Thanks. | <urn:uuid:f2005462-e648-4d4e-aec6-b1ea409e9d73> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://andylaw.co/vssh-lite-download/ | 2022-01-17T11:40:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.927604 | 904 |

Toronto City Council
Toronto City Council
Unicameral city council
New session started
|December 1, 2018|
since December 1, 2014
|Seats||25 plus Mayor|
Length of term
|Authority||City of Toronto Act, 2006|

Toronto City Hall
Toronto City Council is the legislative body of the municipal government of Toronto, Ontario. It comprises 25 city councillors, who are elected to represent various wards throughout the city, and the mayor of Toronto – presently John Tory – who is elected city-wide, and serves as head of council. Toronto City Council currently meets at the Toronto City Hall, at 100 Queen Street West.
|Part of the series on|
|Politics of Toronto|
|Federal election results|
The current decision-making framework and committee structure at the City of Toronto was established by the City of Toronto Act, 2006 and came into force January 1, 2007. The decision-making process at the City of Toronto involves committees that report to City Council. Committees propose, review and debate policies and recommendations before their arrival at City Council for debate. Citizens and residents can only make deputations on policy at committees, citizens cannot make public presentations to City Council. Each city councillor sits on one committee. The mayor is a member of all committees and is entitled to one vote.
There are three types of committees at the City of Toronto: the Executive Committee, various standing committees and other committees of council. The City posts agendas for council and committee meetings on its website.
The Executive Committee is an advisory body chaired by the mayor. The Executive Committee is composed of the mayor, deputy mayor, and the chairs of the seven standing committees who are appointed by the mayor and four "at-large" members appointed by City Council. The role of the Executive Committee is to set the City of Toronto's priorities, manage financial planning and budgeting, labour relations, human resources, and the operation of City Council.
The Executive Committee makes recommendations to city council on:
- strategic policy and priorities
- governance policy and structure
- financial planning and budgeting
- fiscal policy (revenue and tax policies)
- intergovernmental and international relations
- Council operation
- Human resources and labour relations
Several committees report to the Executive Committee:
- Budget Committee,
- Affordable Housing Committee, and
- Employee and Labour Relations Committee.

Current members of the committee:
- Paul Ainslie
- Ana Bailão
- Gary Crawford
- Denzil Minnan-Wong
- Frances Nunziata
- James Pasternak
- Michael Thompson
- John Tory (Chair)
Following the sudden decision by the provincial government to reduce the size of City Council in summer 2018, the committee structure is currently under review; what follows describes the structure up to December 1, 2018. There were eleven other committees that reported to Toronto City Council. The seven standing policy committees were:
|Community Development & Recreation||Social inclusion and undertaking work to strengthen services to communities and neighbourhoods.|
|Economic Development||Monitors and makes recommendations to strengthen Toronto's economy and investment climate.|
|Government Management||Government assets and resources; monitors and makes recommendations on the administrative operations of the city.|
|Licensing & Standards||Consumer safety and protection; monitors and makes recommendations on the licensing of business and the enforcement of property standards.|
|Parks & Environment||Monitors, makes recommendations and undertakes work to ensure the sustainability of Toronto's natural environment.|
|Planning & Growth Management||Urban form and work related to good city planning; monitors and makes recommendations on the planning, growth and development of the city.|
|Public Works & Infrastructure||Delivers and maintains Toronto's infrastructure; monitors and makes recommendations on Toronto's infrastructure needs and services.|
There are four other committees that report to Council:
|Audit Committee||Considers and recommends to Council the appointment of external auditors for the City and the Auditor General's office; the annual external audits of the financial statements of the city, its agencies and the Auditor General's office; the Auditor General's reports, audit plan and accomplishments.|
|Board of Health||Ensures that Toronto Public Health delivers programs and services in response to local needs; determines and sets public health policy and advises City Council on a broad range of health issues; recommendations with citywide or financial implications are forwarded to City Council for final approval.|
|Civic Appointments Committee||Considers and recommends to Council the citizens to appoint to agencies.|
|Striking Committee||Recommends councillor appointments to fill the positions of city boards, agencies and advisory committees; makes recommendations to Council on the meeting schedule for Council and Council Committees.|

All members of Toronto City Council serve on a community council. Community councils report to City Council but they also have final decision-making power on certain items, such as front yard parking and appointments to local boards and Business Improvement Areas. The city is divided into four community councils. Their meeting locations are as follows:
- Etobicoke and York – Etobicoke Civic Centre
- North York – North York Civic Centre
- Scarborough – Scarborough Civic Centre
- Toronto and East York – Toronto City Hall
2018–2022 City Council
The current council term began on December 4, 2018.
Starting January 1, 2017, the mayor's salary was increased to $188,544 and Councillors to $111,955, a 2.1 percent change.

Vacancies in a council seat may be filled in one of two ways, either by the holding of a by-election or through direct appointment of an interim councillor chosen by the council in an internal vote. Normally the council is allowed to decide which process to follow in each individual case; however, if the vacancy occurs after March 31 in the year of a regularly scheduled municipal election, then the vacancy must be filled by direct appointment as provincial law prohibits the holding of a by-election in the final six months of a council term.
The process often results in public debate, however. The by-election process is widely seen as more democratic, while the appointment process is seen as less expensive for the city to undertake.
When the appointment process is followed, people who are interested in the appointment are asked to submit their names to the local community council for the area where the vacant seat is located; the community council then evaluates and interviews the applicants, and submits a recommendation to the full city council for a final vote. The full council can, however, reject the community council's recommendation and choose a different candidate instead; in 2013, for example, the city council passed over former member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Chris Stockwell, the recommended candidate of the Etobicoke Community Council, in favour of Peter Leon.
Normally, a condition of the application process is that the appointed interim councillor does not run as a candidate in the next regular election, so that he or she does not gain an unfair incumbency advantage. There have, nonetheless, been instances in which appointed interim councillors have tested the rule; most notably, Paul Ainslie did so in 2006 by running for re-election in a different ward than the one where he had been appointed, and after the ward boundaries were adjusted in 2018, former ward 28 councillor Lucy Troisi ran in the new ward 13 against the former ward 27's elected incumbent Kristyn Wong-Tam. Peter Leon considered registering as a candidate in the 2014 election following his appointment as an interim councillor in 2013, but ultimately did not do so.
If a full byelection is pursued, however, then the winner of that byelection is not barred from running in the next regular municipal election.
Three vacancies occurred during the 2010-14 council term. Doug Holyday resigned from council in 2013 after winning election to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in a byelection, and was succeeded by Peter Leon. Adam Vaughan resigned from council in 2014 to contest a federal byelection for the House of Commons, and was succeeded by Ceta Ramkhalawansingh. Peter Milczyn resigned in 2014 after winning election to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2014 election and was succeeded by James Maloney.
Since amalgamation there are four instances that a councillor died while in office:
- Frank Faubert - ward 16 councillor and former mayor of Scarborough died in 1999 (after about a year and a half into his council term). The seat was filled with by-election: filled by former Ward 43 councillor David Soknacki.
- Rob Ford - ward 2 councillor and former mayor of Toronto died in 2016, one year and three months into his council term. The seat was filled with by-election: won by Ford's nephew and former Ward 1 public school trustee Michael Ford.
- Ron Moeser - ward 44 councillor and former Scarborough councillor died on April 18, 2017. The seat filled by an appointment with former city staffer Jim Hart.
- Pam McConnell - ward 28 councillor died on July 7, 2017, after being hospitalized for a health complication. The vacancy was filled by voting by members of council, who selected Lucy Troisi over rival Michael Creek.
City Clerk of Toronto
The city clerk is the senior administrative officer of the municipal government of Toronto. The city clerk is charged with building public trust and confidence in the city government.
There are five divisions in the Clerk's office:
- Corporate Information Management Services - Executive Director and Administrative Assistant, two analysts
- Council and Support Services
- Elections and Registry Services
- Protocol Services
City clerk staff are seated in the horseshoe shaped table located in front of the speaker's podium in the council chambers.
City Council has a sergeant-at-arms, who is present at each council and committee meeting as per Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 27-50 to ensure order and safety of all members. In 2014 a second post was created to have two sergeants-at-arms present during council meetings. They are posted on the floor or near the entrances beside the speaker's desk.
Original ward system
Toronto was divided into a group of wards, each named after a Christian saint. In 1834, the city had five wards and the number of wards would expand to nine by 1891. While out of use for over a century, these ward names continue to appear in neighbourhood names and subway stations and, until the 1990s, provincial electoral districts. The old wards and their boundaries in their final form, used from 1871 to 1891, were:
- St. Andrew's (named for Saint Andrew)- bounded by Dufferin, King, Queen, and Yonge Streets – St. Andrew's Church (Toronto) is located within the ward
- St. David's (named for Saint David) – bounded by Ontario, Don Mills Road (now Broadview Ave), Bloor and Queen
- St. George's (named for Saint George) – bounded by King, Yonge, Dufferin Streets and lakefront
- St. Lawrence's (named for Lawrence of Rome) – bounded by Queen, Yonge, lakefront, McGee
- St. Patrick's (named for Saint Patrick) – bounded by Bloor, Bathurst, Queen and College Streets (now part of Trinity-Spadina) – St. Patrick's Church is located within this ward
- St. John's (either for John the Apostle or John the Baptist) – bounded by Yonge, University, Bloor and Queen. The area would continue to be known as The Ward up to the mid-20th century.
- St. Stephen's (named for Saint Stephen) – bounded by Bathurst, Bloor, Queen and Dufferin Streets
- St. Thomas's (named for Thomas the Apostle) – bounded by Jarvis, Ontario, Bloor, Queen Streets
- St. James's (named for James, son of Zebedee) – bounded by Yonge, Jarvis, King and Bloor – Cathedral Church of St. James is located within the ward
By 1891, there were 13 wards, with three aldermen elected per ward: St. Alban's, St. Andrew's, St. David's, St. George's, St. James's, St. John's, St. Lawrence's, St. Mark's, St. Matthew's, St. Patrick's, St. Paul's, St. Stephen's, and St. Thomas's.
When Yorkville was annexed in 1883, it became St. Paul's Ward (named for Paul the Apostle or Saint Paul). When Riverdale was annexed in 1884, it became St. Matthew's Ward (named for Matthew the Apostle or Saint Matthew). Brockton was also annexed in 1884, and it became the ward of St. Mark's (named for Mark the Evangelist or Saint Mark). When Parkdale was annexed in 1889, it became St. Alban's Ward (named for Saint Alban).
Post-1891 ward structure
In June 1891, the city approved a re-organization to Council changing the number of wards to six; each ward was known by a number. Each ward elected four aldermen. Over the next three decades three new wards were added, one each in the north, east, and west, as new areas were annexed to the City of Toronto. In 1896, the Board of Control executive branch of Council was established to handle all daily council business and report to Council. Mayor Robert John Fleming presided over the first Board of Control.
Eventually, the numbers of aldermen was reduced to two aldermen per ward as the number of wards was increased. When a higher level of municipal government, Metro Toronto, was introduced in 1953, the alderman with the most votes of the two elected councillors from each ward was also a member of Metro Council.
Until 1955 municipal elections were held annually, either on New Year's Day or on the first Monday in December. In 1955 council moved to two-year terms, and in 1982 three-year terms were introduced. Along with the other municipalities of Ontario, Toronto moved to a four-year municipal term in 2006.
Starting in 1904 the Board of Control was elected directly. Until 1969 there was a four-person Board of Control in addition to city council. The board was elected at large across the city, and its members had considerably more power than the city councillors. In 1969, the Board of Control was abolished and the four controllers were replaced by four new councillors from two new wards. The ward map was rebalanced to give more equitable representation.
In 1985, the system of electing Metro councillors was changed so that two separate ballots were held in each ward, one for the city the other for Metro. In the next election, a separate set of wards was established for Metro councillors. Each Metro ward consisted of two city wards, each electing only one councillor.
With the amalgamation of the City of Toronto with the suburban municipalities of Metro in 1997, the councils of the six former cities were abolished. The new council for the "megacity" kept the ward map of Metro Toronto but doubled the number of councillors by adopting the system of electing two councillors from each ward. East York had only one ward and was thus greatly underrepresented. Former East York mayor Michael Prue lobbied successfully for a third councillor to be elected from that ward, and this was implemented mid-term.
This system was only used for the first megacity election. In 2000 a new ward map was devised based on the federal ridings (electoral districts) that covered Toronto. Each riding was split in half to create the current system of 44 wards.

When the City of Toronto was incorporated in 1834, a city council was created. It provided direct representation in the government of Toronto to the population. The Town of York had been governed by the then-province of Upper Canada, with electoral representation in the Upper Canada assembly.
The first councils were elected yearly. Each of the five wards elected two aldermen and two common councillors by the votes of male householders. The first councils were dominated by two factions: the Family Compact and its loyalists; and the reformers under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie, Member of Parliament for York. Mackenzie won election to Council and was elected by Council as the city's first mayor, but was defeated in the next election, after proposing increased taxation. After the defeat of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837, the reformers were marginalized, as several were executed for treason, and others, such as Mackenzie, went into exile.
For the next century, the Tories dominated Toronto municipal politics, as they did the other levels in "Tory Toronto". The Tories were associated with staunch Protestantism, shown through membership in the Orange Order, and support for the Lord's Day Act of Ontario.
In the 1930s, various forms of left-wing opposition arose to the Tory-dominated council. The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) was founded in 1932. The pro-labour social democratic party found support in various working-class areas of Toronto and several of its members were elected to city council. Unaffiliated anti-poverty activists like May Birchard also were elected to Council in this era. An important faction in Toronto politics in the 1930s and 1940s were the communists. There was considerable communist support in the downtown areas covered by Ward 4 and Ward 5, especially in the heavily Jewish areas of Kensington Market and the Garment District around Spadina Avenue and further west along College and up to Christie Pits including what is now Little Italy. The peak of communist influence was in the 1946 election when leader Stewart Smith was elected to the Board of Control and three other communists won seats on city council. With the beginning of the Cold War and staunch opposition from the other political groups, the communist presence quickly disappeared. The last communist alderman lost his seat in 1950.
The first part of the 20th century was the era of the newspaper slates. Each of the daily newspapers would endorse a full slate of candidates for office. The two most influential were the right-wing Toronto Telegram and the more left-leaning Toronto Daily Star. In the early parts of the century, the duelling papers ran the communications portion of the campaign of the candidates they supported, using yellow journalism to extol those they supported and denigrate those they opposed. The newspaper slates did not have a unified ideology: all the papers claimed to be seeking a balanced council, making sure that groups such as labour and Roman Catholics had representation on the council. Beyond these few exceptions, the slates of all the papers were largely made up of male, white, Conservative, Orangemen. Many candidates also appeared on the slates of several newspapers. With the exception of James Simpson, who became Toronto's first socialist mayor in 1935, the city's mayors were Tories in the first half of the 20th century.
The character of Toronto politics began to change in the 1950s and 1960s as the Anglo Tory lock on power faded in the increasingly diverse city. In 1952, Orangeman Allan Lamport became the first Liberal elected mayor in over 40 years. He resigned to become TTC chair and his administration was implicated in a municipal corruption scandal. In 1954, Leslie Saunders, another Orangeman became interim mayor. His staunch defence of Protestantism became an issue in the 1954 election. Nathan Phillips, a long-serving Jewish alderman, was elected mayor. He was a staunch Tory. His religion was an important issue in the election, in which his opponent proclaimed himself to be running as "Leslie Saunders, Protestant". The Orange Order influence dropped sharply. Only seven of 23 councillors elected that year were members of the Orange Order. Phillips was dubbed "Mayor of all the People" and governed in a non-partisan manner. During his term, Phillips enraged the Order by accepting funding from O'Keefe Brewing for the new O'Keefe Centre auditorium. In 1956, Phillips initiated the international architectural competition for a new City Hall.
In the late 1960s and 1970s, a new division arose on city council between two groups that became known as the "Reformers" and the "Old Guard". Both groups crossed party lines and were divided by their approach to urban issues. The Reform faction arose in opposition to the urban renewal schemes that had been in favour in the previous decades. Two key battles were over the proposal for the Spadina Expressway and the replacement of the Trefann Court neighbourhood with a housing project. The Reformers opposed the destruction of existing neighbourhoods and followed the urban theories of recent Toronto arrival Jane Jacobs. The Old Guard supported new highways and housing projects, in part because of their close ties to the development industry. The debate between the two groups became the central issue of the 1969 municipal election with mayoral candidate Margaret Campbell running on an explicit reform platform. Campbell lost the mayoralty, but on City Council, six veteran members of the Old Guard were defeated.
One example of the close ties was revealed in 1971; a conflict of interest case of alderman Ben Grys, who chaired the Buildings and Development Committee. His wife Gladys, bought properties in the High Park area, then resold them to a developer. Grys then helped get rezoning for the area to allow developers to increase the number of units they could build, without disclosing his interest. Alderman John Sewell learned of the Grys purchases through a resident of the area. Grys launched a lawsuit against Sewell but it was dropped. Grys was defeated in 1972, the same election that Reformer David Crombie was elected mayor. Crombie was mayor until 1978 and during his term, the city enacted a holding by-law to curb the development industry. In 1978, Crombie was succeeded by Sewell as mayor.
In 1980, Liberal Art Eggleton was elected mayor. Eggleton was mayor until 1991. During his term, Council enacted a new official plan to control redevelopment within the city. Council approved the redevelopment of the railway lands south-west of downtown. Eggleton negotiated the agreement to administer Toronto Island Airport, allowing scheduled airlines, but disallowing jets. Social housing was built and environmental programs were introduced by the city during that period.
In 1998 the Metro Toronto Council was merged with Toronto City Council. The amalgamation added the councillors from the other cities of Metro. The first mayor of the merged council was Mel Lastman, former mayor of North York. The council spent the term working on merging the departments of the various municipalities and working on funding for the increased services downloaded by the province. In 2003, David Miller became Toronto mayor. A new City of Toronto Act was enacted by the Province of Ontario and Council used the opportunity to introduce new tax measures to increase revenues for city services. A planned bridge to the Island Airport was cancelled.
In 2010, Councillor Rob Ford won the mayoralty on promises to cut taxes. During his term, Council cancelled the vehicle registration tax, the Toronto transit plan, made various department 'essential services' and out-sourced some garbage pickup services. Council removed some of Ford's mayoral powers following the disclosures of Ford's drug abuse, giving powers to the deputy mayor. Although Ford ran for re-election, ill-health forced him to drop out. The mayoralty was won by John Tory, former leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives.
In 2017, after a petition to Council under the City of Toronto Act, Council initiated a process to revise its ward boundaries. The final result of the process was an increase to 47 seats. This was opposed in Court by several councillors, who ultimately failed in their challenge. In 2018, a newly elected Ontario government passed a bill, after the municipal election had started, to override the ward revisions and impose a 25-person council. This was overturned on September 10, 2018, after City Council and several private respondents challenged the law in Ontario Superior Court. The judge found that the Ontario government erred constitutionally in making the change during the election campaign, thus depriving voters and political candidates of their "freedom of expression" rights. After this decision, the provincial government decided to appeal the judge's decision, and prepared a new version of the bill that would invoke the Notwithstanding clause to overrule the judge's decision. On September 19, 2018, a 3 court panel of the Court of Appeal for Ontario unanimously granted a stay on the lower court's ruling, thus setting the number of wards to 25, and removing the need to invoke the Notwithstanding clause. The decision was ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada in Toronto (City) v Ontario (Attorney General).

Introduction The use of corticosteroids to reduce the post-operative sequelae of lower third molar surgery namely pain swelling and trismus has been well studied by many experts over the past 6 decades. on all sequale 2 reported the outcome on swelling and trismus and another 1 on swelling and pain only. In 16 of the studies corticosteroid use resulted in significant reductions in pain after third molar removal. Twenty-two out of 29 studies reported reduced swelling against unfavorable control while 18 out of 25 studies reported improved mouth opening. Fourteen studies reported the benefit of corticosteroids on all 3 sequelae with 71.4% resulted from the use of methylprednisolone. Conclusion Although there are some conflicting effects the results of this analysis shows in general the benefits derived from short-term use of corticosteroids in relation to pain swelling and trismus following third molar surgical extraction with no side effects observed. Funding This work was supported by the University or college of Malaya’s High Impact Research grant UM.C/625/1/HIR/MOHE/05. Keywords: Corticosteroids Pain Surgery Swelling Third molar Trismus Introduction Surgical removal of impacted lower third molars is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in any dental surgery worldwide. Although it is a minor surgical procedure the common sequelae which are pain swelling and trismus can severely affect patients’ quality of life during the immediate post-operative period . These sequelae arise as a result of tissue inflammatory process with cardinal indicators of inflammation that include pain (dolor) warmth (calor) redness (rubor) swelling (tumor) and loss of function (function laesa) . You will find considerable variations from patient to patient in the occurrence and severity of the inflammatory symptoms. In the past AZD6140 many different methods including drains laser therapy and medications with enzymes AZD6140 muscle mass relaxants or corticosteroids were clinically evaluated in an effort to minimize these post-operative sequelae [3-6]. The last agent namely the corticosteroids have shown encouraging results. Corticosteroids are available as two main groups the MDK glucocorticoids and the mineralcorticoids. It is the glucocorticoids that are of interest here because of their anti-inflammatory activities with little or no effect on fluid and electrolyte balance. The term corticosteroids will AZD6140 subsequently be used in this study to denote the former group of brokers. Corticosteroids are a class of chemicals that includes natural steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. They are 21 carbon compounds using a cyclopentanoperhydro-phenanthene (steroid) nucleus and were first purified by Dr. William C. Kendall who later on together with Drs. Phillip S. Hench and Tadeus Reichstein received a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. In 1948 Hench et al. successfully used cortisone and adrenocorticotropic (corticotropine) hormone to reduce the inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis . Following this success various other forms of corticosteroids have been synthesized as scientists found that the biologic properties of corticosteroids can be altered quantitatively and selectively by the substitution of certain chemical groupings and by minor configurational changes in molecular structure . Dehydrogenation at the 1 position of the steroid nucleus gave rise to prednisone and prednisolone. This increased anti-inflammatory activity four to five occasions. During 1957 Arth et al. synthesized dexamethasone (9-alpha-fluoro 16 which is a synthetic analogue of methylprednisolone in which a methyl group has been added at the carbon 16 position and a fluorine atom at the carbon 9 position [8 9 The addition of fluorine at the carbon 9 position greatly enhances the anti-inflammatory activity of the new compound. Dexamethasone has a milligram activity 5-10 occasions of predisone and prednisolone and 30 occasions that of cortisone . Corticosteroids are classified according to their period of action. Short-acting glucocorticoids include cortisol (hydrocortisone) and cortisone with duration of action less than 12?h and anti-inflammatory potency of 1 1. Intermediate acting glucocorticoids have period of action of 12-36?h. They include prednisone and prednisolone with anti-inflammatory potency of 4 and 6-methylprednisolone and triamcinolone both having AZD6140 anti-inflammatory potency of 5. Dexamethasone and betamethasone are long-acting glucocorticoids with period of action greater than. | <urn:uuid:8842a811-efad-42c4-a358-72e58507a721> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://congresoendocrinologia2016.com/introduction-the-use-of-corticosteroids-to-reduce-the-post-operative-sequelae-of/ | 2022-01-17T10:36:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.92643 | 1,012 |

Easter Seals Ready to Celebrate 100 Years of Impact and Being Absolutely UnstoppABLE® in Canada: A Centennial Birthday Celebration from Coast to Coast
Easter Seals is getting ready to celebrate a milestone birthday, its 100th year of operations in this country, and to share details of this celebration nationwide. Over the entire course of 2022 in every region of Canada, provincial and territorial organizations will host events bringing together the community, participants, families, sponsors, supporters, and regional stakeholders.
Chief Executive Officer, Dave Starrett, says, “We are a network of provincial and territorial associations across our great country – 10 strong – that have come together to celebrate the 100 years of impact that Easter Seals has had across Canada in communities nationwide. We look forward to toasting our successes while leading the path forward for the next century.”
Highlights of the year include a renewed focus on advocacy at the federal level; a birthday party in Ottawa in spring of 2022 to mark Easter Seals Month in a very special way; and regional awareness gala events and awareness activities. Major public landmarks around the country will be illuminated, and there will be a month devoted to celebrating the role of alumni in Easter Seals history. The organization is focused on embracing digital by design in its approach for the future and will be completing over 9 social and digital media campaigns on several topics, including inclusion and diversity.
As it looks to build towards the next 100 years, Easter Seals will also be launching a school educational program in fall 2022.
“This is a time for celebration, for appreciation and applause, but also a time when we need to be a stronger voice than we have before. COVID-19 has changed our world, and we know that we need to tell our story with greater impact in the years ahead. The pandemic has created challenges for those living with disabilities in our country and we know that being UnstoppABLE®, as our community is, will be a critical part of the next 100 years.”
All COVID protocols will apply to regional events depending on local public health outcomes: events will have digital, hybrid and in person opportunities.

Launching an innovative online coding bootcamp in Berlin
garage: Please give us a short intro about yourself!
My name is Peter Fabian, I originally come from Hungary but I’ve been living in Berlin for almost 10 years now with my family. I am an economist and a teacher by trade, and I’ve been building and managing cutting-edge digital products and services for most of my career. I am deeply interested in identifying and contextualising future market opportunities that emerge from technological and societal change.
.garage: What is data engineering?
Data engineering is one of the most essential yet overlooked functions in the data ecosystem: data engineers are responsible for designing, building and maintaining data infrastructures — they solve data-related engineering problems, and talk a lot along the way. They are responsible for making sure that data is available for use by data analysts, data scientists, or basically anyone relevant inside and outside of a company.
.garage: Why is data engineering so important for the future?
Today, organisations are betting on moving systematically towards more data-driven decisions, meaning that they acquire and collect data from various different sources, and do their best to generate actionable insights leveraging it. The amount of available data has been exploding with the number of sensors and digital interfaces that we carry around in our pockets. In order make use of it, companies need people who are able to manage the complex and constantly changing nature of this ecosystem. This trend is unlikely to change anytime soon, therefore with Pipeline Academy we’ve created an accessible way of learning data engineering with sustainability and pragmatism as the main focus.
.garage: How did the coaching contribute to the founding of Pipeline Academy?
I am a first-time founder, and as it turns out navigating the quirky bureaucratic labyrinth of the German administrative system when founding a company comes with a bunch of challenges that are difficult to anticipate. The professional experience of the coaches at the .garage was indeed very useful when tackling the first hurdles, and an external perspective can come in really handy when you are being so focused on getting the ball rolling. Also, some connections that have been made there turned out to be pivotal for our success.
The biggest challenge
.garage: Tell us about the biggest challenges concerning the founding of Pipeline Academy.
2020 was a challenging year for most of us. The uncertainty resulting from COVID forced everybody to constantly adapt to the ever-changing rules of the game called life, and try to predict what comes next. In our case changing how our service is delivered, how our marketing is executed, and how we deal with managing our private lives and work in parallel were the biggest concern that kept us (and still keep us) on our feet.
.garage: How did COVID impact the industry you are in? How did you adapt?
Initially the plan was to go with the traditional classroom-experience (so basically a classic three-month coding bootcamp training) and move towards digital platforms at a later stage. Yet COVID has forced us to go fully online, and I am glad to say that we’ve made it work. This format enables people to join our course from across the globe, and works for demographies (e.g. parents, people with a full-time job) that would not be able to attend it otherwise as well.
.garage: What are your plans for the future?
We’re working on making sure that more people get to have access to the benefits of learning data engineering. These competencies are extremely sought-after in today’s job market, and my task is to make sure that with new formats and corporate cooperations Pipeline Academy enables motivated individuals to put themselves in a better socioeconomic position than before. To give you an example: given the increasing demand coming from the US, we are launching a part-time program starting January 2022.
.garage: What are you the most proud of when it comes to Pipeline Academy?
There are plenty of things I am grateful for: first and foremost our graduates, who have trusted us, played along, and ended up in amazing positions after the course; my partnership with my-cofounder Daniel, who has been nothing short of brilliant and strong throughout this journey; the fact that we’ve built a really unconventional, forward-thinking indie school from ground up that produces real positive impacts on the life of others. I am very grateful for the support that we’ve received from parts of the data engineering community (some of whom are our regular guest speakers the course), and my family’s constant encouragement. It’s truly rewarding.
.garage: What kind of advice would you give other people thinking about founding their own business?
Do your research, start small, don’t try to reinvent the wheel, expect the unexpected and get used to leaving your comfort zone… I have a lot more of these platitudes. But on a more serious note: if you have the opportunity to build something new, do your diligence first, keep an open mind, listen to what the market is telling you, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride. | <urn:uuid:a68d453c-42b8-4488-bc49-cc74398ae896> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://garageberlin.de/interview-with-peter-fabian-co-founder-of-pipeline-data-engineering-academ/ | 2022-01-17T09:25:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.962145 | 1,065 |

Thursday late morning and afternoon, January 31, 2019
The Colca River is the longest river in Peru, stretching from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean. On its journey, it creates the deepest canyon in the world, over 2.5 miles, more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. This area was inaccessible by road until the 1940s. Even then, the outside world was not aware of the canyon, which was first navigated in 1981 by a Polish rafting expedition. The expedition suggested that this canyon was the deepest in the world, and that was later verified.
We drove from Colca Valley to Colca Canyon, through a tunnel that was built as part of the Majes-Siguas irrigation project in the 1970s that built a 63 mile long aqueduct to bring water to the dry lands around Arequipa.
The Andean Condor is the largest flying bird in the world, considering both wingspan and weight, with a wingspan of almost eleven feet. It is the national symbol of Peru. This bird is considered near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Condors don’t make nests, as they can’t carry anything. They prefer rock ledges or caves on mountain faces, with wide open spaces. They use thermals that rise and spiral off the cliffs to soar for hours, looking for carrion. They rip open the tough skin of their kills, making it easier for other animals to feed on the carrion as well. Andean Condors have been known to prey on small live animals, but their short talons are not well adapted for hunting.
The condors mate for life, and can live up to 100 years, and lay one or two eggs per year. The young will stay will the parents for several years, as they don’t reach maturity until about age 5. The young have brown feathers. At about age 8, the feathers turn black with with patches on the wings and a ruff of white feathers. The male has a crest on its head which distinguishes it from the female.
Cruz del Condor, about a mile above the river, is an excellent place to view these magnificent birds. The total elevation here is 12,416 feet. We waited for a while, constantly scanning the skies around us, until we were rewarded with our first sight of a flying condor. Our trip in the cold was rewarded!
While not a pretty bird, the Andean Condor is magnificent, especially in flight. There were three condors perched on a nearby mountain that we watched for a while. We saw several flying, took too many photos, and decided to return to our vehicle. On the way, we saw people pointing and shooting photos, so we checked it out. First, we saw two on a ledge, then we saw three, then four, and finally six. There were two adults, and four juveniles. The ledge may be where their home cave is located. We watched as they fluffed their feathers, communicated with each other, and soared.
On our way back to the lodge, we stopped at a few more lookout points, and I bought a Cabana hat.. We went in to the village of Chivay, to do some shopping. The center square and the Main Street have some statues that reflect the local cultural dances. Chivay is the largest village in the Colca Valley, with about 7,000 people. Twice a week, there is a large market where people come to sell their goods, and the population doubles. It was delightful to watch the people, many of whom were dressed in their local attire, with lots of layering of skirts. There were so many beautiful hats, belts and dresses, colorful and with lots of bling. I did get my Cabana hat, and I was looking at some of the embroidered jackets, but resisted them (I’m kind of regretting that now.)
As we left Chivay, a thunderstorm was approaching. It was still raining when we reached the lodge, but we went to the hot pools anyway. Ahh – so very relaxing. | <urn:uuid:e1ed525d-17cb-42d6-8189-7eb0d8c17b7c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://kcbontheroad.com/2019/02/15/colca-canyon-and-the-andean-condors/ | 2022-01-17T11:45:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.98392 | 849 |

This article is a follow-up of an older one 🇫🇷, where I wondered myself what software I should use to manage my cameras & lenses collection. Back then, I explained I chose Omeka, an open-source solution developed by the Center for History and New Media, George Mason University, and broadly used by cultural institutions across the world.
Really, that was well meant and I totally wanted to catalog all my cameras but, actually… I never saw this through to the end. I stumbled on the lack of dynamic linking between items and dynamic list of properties.
Add to this my own lack of motivation, procrastination and the song of all those sirens/cameras calling on my shelves, and you’ll understand why I did not pushed further.
But everything changed at the end of 2017, when Omeka S was released… | <urn:uuid:c3558fb5-3300-4776-9e7a-39a4b4a8c846> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://manondamoon.com/tag/software/ | 2022-01-17T11:37:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.957694 | 179 |
Dr Chakwera was speaking on Tuesday, at a dinner he hosted for SADC Heads of State who are in Malawi to attend an extraordinary summit of the grouping.
The Heads of State and Government at the dinner included South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa, who is also the current chair of the SADC Troika Organ Responsible for Defence and Security.
Mozambique's President, Felipe Nyusi, whose country is at the centre of the main agenda of the extraordinary summit was also in attendance.
The summit seeks to assess progress made so far in defusing extremist attacks in the Cabo Delgado Province of Northern Mozambique.

The first PPV event for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since their explosive debut on weekly network TV, AEW presents Full Gear, live from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Officially, the main event will feature Chris Jericho defending his AEW World Championship against Cody, in a match where Cody has vowed to never challenge for the AEW title again if he is not successful. For this championship bout, if the 60 minute time limit is reached, three judges will decide the winner. Unofficially, once this match has concluded, AEW will have an unsanctioned Light Out match between The Best Bout Machine, Kenny Omega, and the demented Jon Moxley. Anything goes in a Lights Out match, with no disqualifications or countouts, and AEW management will have no responsibility for what the two men do to each other.
Elsewhere on the card, the AEW Women’s Champion, Riho, will defend her hard-won title against the woman who trained her, Emi Sakura. The current Tag Team Champions, SCU (Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky) will have a busy night, as they defend their gold against both the teams of The Lucha Bros (Rey Fenix & Pentagon Jr) and Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen). Rounding out the card are three huge grudge matches, as Shawn Spears seeks to put down Joey Janela, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) face off against Pround N Powerful (Santana & Ortiz), and PAC and Hangman Page square off with potential championship contention ramifications for the winner.
+ Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley (Lights Out Match): in the end, this was definitely enjoyable, but it was kind of strange; it was not extreme enough to be a Game Changer (hilarious pun intended) but it was too extreme to be a ‘I’m the better man than you’ situation for the winner, so it almost felt like it was only on the card because they didn’t have any other hardcore stuff. I strongly prefer Omega as the marathon man, and as much as I love seeing CZW’s Moxley back in hardcore action, this never reached the heights he is known for. Still, this was enough to send the crowd home happy with an interesting if somewhat unnecessary ending
+ Chris Jericho (c) vs Cody (AEW World Championship): as far as championship matches go, this was really, really good. It was absolutely not a NJPW-eque marathon, nor was it the kind of plodding affair WWE has become known for, so frankly if AEW keeps up this sort of pacing, story, callbacks and ending sequences, they may carve out a niche of their own. Jericho is the best bad guy in the world right now, because as much as you may love him, you still want him to lose. Cody, meanwhile, isn’t quite the underdog hero I think he wants to be, but against Jericho, anybody would look like a good guy
+ Riho (c) vs Emi Sakura (AEW Women’s Championship): except for the length of the match, this was great (note: I mean it went on too long). Riho looked good, and she got the crowd in the palm of her hand by the end, as she always does, but it’s interesting that she is the underdog in the AEW Women’s division, because she is the champ. Sakura was an obvious choise for Riho’s first PPV defense, and it did make for an engaging match. There are some clear similarities in style between Riho and Kenny Omega, if you look closely
+ PAC vs Hangman Page: Hangman has really been lacking in AEW so far, despite being one of the first contenders for the top title. PAC is a long time favourite of mine, and Hangman has slipped a bit as of late, following his loss to Jericho. Ostensibly, the winner here is probably going to challenge for the AEW title in the near future, and both were good options, and it made for a good match overall. I’ll keep saying it: PAC is so good at all aspects of wrestling
+ The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) vs Proud N Powerful (Santana & Ortiz): this was pretty good overall, and one way or another, I am glad there was a clear winner. Matt Jackson once again seemed to be the standout for me, and while I do enjoy the former-L.A.X. team, this whole match was a pretty standard ‘good tag team match’. I never felt like it was the grudge match AEW wanted it to be (see my two thoughts in the third section below)
– SCU (Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky (c) vs The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix) vs Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) (AEW Tag Team Championships): overall, I did enjoy this, despite a fair bit of sloppy stuff. Fenix was an absolute star, as he always is, and Kazarian is really underappreciated in my view for how solid, if not particularly flashy, he is. Most of the untidy offence did come from either the Lucha Bros trying some fancy offense, or simply the relative inexperience of the Private Party duo. The hit-and-miss accuracy of the movies does stop this from being listed as a positive, but it was not quite as bad as that may make it sound
– Joey Janela vs Shawn Spears (w/ Tully Blanchard): didn’t really do it for me, despite the fact I do like both guys in their current roles. Spears has not quite clicked as the big bad guy they clearly want him to be, but at least the association with Blanchard is starting to be a bit more effective. Still, middle of the road match for a mid card feud
> It was somewhat strange to have a Bucks/PNP match treated as a blood feud (in the same way Cody/Jericho was treated as this really big deal) when really, they have only been feuding on TV for some five weeks. Of course there is all the supplementary stuff like the Youtube shows and/or past history, but it kind of felt like making a big deal out of very limited stuff.
> It may sound like a strange complaint, but some of AEW’s matches are too good. By that I mean, as much as the Bucks/PNP match was an important one for their story, they did too much cool stuff, and it took away from the (in my opinion, objectively) more important Tag Team Championship match later. Similarly, PAC/Hangman was good, but they did so much stuff they could save for either the main event guys to do, or another PAC/Hangman meeting somewhere down the road
Should you watch this event: Overall, this was a very good show, with lots of easy to watch matches, most of which had some big implications. Even the two matches I didn’t enjoy as much were good in one way or another, but it is the non-match quality related issues I am still having trouble adapting to. | <urn:uuid:7d115ff8-2a84-418b-b7fb-94a53e178eba> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://moshfishreviews.com/2019/11/12/wrestling-review-aew-full-gear-2019/ | 2022-01-17T11:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.97509 | 1,524 |

David Picton's Latest Latin Jazz Composition
Thursday, September 29, 2011 8:40 PM
David Picton writes:
One of my latest latin/jazz compositions,"Bicycle Ride" (afro/cuban style) will be performed this Saturday, October 1st, at 2:30, as part of the American Music Festival, held in Sag Harbor, Long Island. This performance is FREE.
The performers are oboist Keve Wilson and pianist Mamiko Kituara, who is Monica Mancini's pianist. Mamiko and Ms. Mancini will be headlining the Festival at 8PM September 30th, as a tribute to Henri Mancini. Randy Brecker is also performing at this Festival.
Keve and Mamiko will be playing music by Henri Mancini, Astor Piazzolla, and Cole Porter, as well as myself.
*** Unfortunately, I will not be present for this event. When the opportunity came up for me to have my piece played in it, I had already had another gig booked.
But Picton's song "Bicycles" will indeed be performed, so go if you can, and enjoy yourselves. If you've ever been to Sag Harbor, you'll know it's a beautiful little sea town out in the Hamptons, all the way at the south/eastern end of Long Island. What could beat that?
Besides...

Who are those 4 Kings everyone is talking about ?
Raja Ampat (The 4 Kings) is a group of 4 main islands (Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati et Misool) and some 600 other small ones, cays or shoals, located in Indonesian West Papua, next to Sorong.
Raja Ampat is all about biodiversity! It’s said to be one of the few hotspots of underwater biodiversity on earth. In the whole area scientists have counted more than 1800 different species of animals, more than anywhere else in the world!
Some of its remarkable inhabitants are the Carpet Sharks (Wobbegong), several species of Pygmy Seahorses living in stunning colorful reefs, and not forgetting the graceful Manta rays, whose 2 species (reef and oceanic) can be found here.

Over 10,000 desks-benches for 500 government schools
Once Covid restrictions are lifted and normalcy returns, “we will be taking our Africa Medical Mission to Ethiopia led by PRIP Rajendra Saboo, who has conceived this signature project of our district. Unfortunately, we could not travel last year, but plans are in full swing,” says Ajay Madan. Ten new clubs, and 2,000 Rotarians will be added to take the total number of Rotarians to 5,300 by the year-end; 20 new Rotaract clubs and over 1,000 Rotaractors are his target.
Over 10,000 desk-benches will be donated to around 500 government schools. During his installation RI President Shekhar Mehta will hand over 2,000 desk-benches to some schools. “We will take up fresh WinS and Happy Schools projects after completing the ongoing ones by around 15 clubs,” he added
A four-day Rahat medical camp will be held in the upper hills of Uttarakhand to screen at least 50,000 tribals who have no access to hospitals or healthcare. The district clubs will install 10 PET bottle crushing units in Shimla, Mussoorie and Solan, which are big tourism hubs. “We are working out a global grant project for constructing check dams in Shimla, Nahan and Mussoorie. In 45 days from July 1, we will be planting two million saplings of different native species across the district. For this we have procured 100kg of bamboo seeds; each kg can sprout 3,500 saplings,” says Madan. For TRF giving, his target is $1 million.
He became a Rotaractor as a college student in 1984 and graduated to Rotary in 1993. “Just to have fun and enjoy fellowship, I joined Rotaract. But slowly, I got attracted to Rotary and started to get involved in mega projects,” he recalls.
Empowering girls is his priority
As RI President Shekhar Mehta hails from his district, “we will focus on some of the thrust areas like literacy, empowering girls and membership growth through Each one bring one that he is championing to take Rotary to the next level,” says Prabir Chatterjee. He is confident of inducting over 1,000 new Rotarians, and starting 20 new clubs, taking the total number of Rotarians past 5,000; and clubs to 190 in the district.
Thirty new Rotaract clubs and 500 new Rotaractors are his target. “I plan to do a number of projects to empower girls through awareness programmes, events on cervical cancer and MHM (menstrual hygiene), which will be held in schools, colleges, urban and rural clusters,” he explains. Self-defence techniques will be taught in schools, colleges and RCC venues through workshops titled Rotary Virangana to boost the confidence of girls. “We plan to hold at least 10–15 Virangana sessions in a month across the district. Our 14 Rotary eye hospitals will do 40,000 surgeries for needy patients.”
Over 25 Happy Schools will be done through a mix of global grants and club donations. His target for TRF giving is $400,000. With Mehta branding the current DGs as ‘changemakers’, “we need to empower the underprivileged through literacy, healthcare, water and sanitation projects. In fact, Rotary is ushering in peace by Serving to Change Lives.”
Chatterjee joined Rotary in 2000, thanks to his Rotarian friend, only to “enjoy the fellowship and networking. But later on, inspired by the amount of good work being done by the clubs I became proactive and took up projects to serve the people.”
Medical centres in NCR; check dams in Rajasthan
A couple of catechisms, namely, Do more, grow more and Each one, bring one as coined by RI President Shekhar Mehta will be the cornerstone for devising projects and doing public image initiatives. Comprising Delhi and NCR, his district has 122 clubs and 3,800 Rotarians, and “we hope to start 25 new clubs and add 1,000 new members,” he says. His Rotaract goal is 30 new clubs and 600 new Rotaractors, to take the total to over 2,600.
He will be starting a 15-bed ICU Covid centre at the Vardan Multi Specialty Hospital in Ghaziabad through a $120,000 GG. Two dialysis centres (GG: ₹1.2 crore) will come up at the Asha Kiran Hospital and Shri Tirupati Hospital, both in Ghaziabad. A diagnostic centre (₹1.20 crore) having an array of ultrasound, X-ray and CT scan machines will be set up at Noida; and a special CT scan unit will be installed at the Shri Jagannath Charitable Cancer Hospital, Ghaziabad at a cost of ₹1.6 crore.
Among the global grant projects are 20 check dams (₹60 lakh) which will be constructed at villages in Rajasthan. “We will do 10 Happy Schools in Sonipat, Haryana, and five PHCs there will be upgraded with modern medical facilities. These two projects will be done through global grants.” The Asha health workers at the PHCs will be trained by the clubs. His TRF goal: $600,000. Aggarwal joined Rotary in 1996–97 with the help of his friend Rtn Anil Sharma.
Rotaractors and healthcare, his focus
Due to lockdown restrictions, all the 65 clubs in the district are holding weekly zoom meetings to interact and chart out projects with their members. “Once the government relaxes the lockdown norms, we will take up field activities with renewed vigour. I plan to start at least 20 new clubs and induct 1,200 Rotarians to raise the headcount to 3,900 in my year,” says Sanjay Malviya. All clubs will be asked to sponsor at least one Rotaract club. At present there are about 350 Rotaractors across 12 Rotaract clubs, “but we hope to add over 1,000 Rotaractors through promotional events.”
The clubs will take up over 10,000 cataract surgeries and renovate government hospitals in major cities. “District hospitals will get a facelift through a mix of DDF, sponsors and member contributions.” More than 100,000 saplings will be distributed to give a green push. “We have been doing WinS projects for over three years and this year, clubs will take up Happy Schools events at 100 institutions in which their basic amenities and classroom facilities will be revamped,” explains Malviya. A mammography bus (GG $100,000) will be introduced in September to screen rural women in Rajasthan. “We hope to invite CM Ashok Gehlot to flag-off this project as it will boost our public image.” His target for TRF is $400,000. He wants Rotary to become an attractive platform for “people to give back to society what they have learned and earned in life.” His father Rtn Ram Narayan Malviya inspired him to join Rotary in 1999.
Concentrating on healthcare, green and water projects
A series of NCD camps under Project Positive Health will be conducted reaching out to at least 100,000 patients, says Sundharalingam, who has lined up diverse projects across the seven focus areas of Rotary. “We have plans to construct five check dams through a mix of global grants and club donations. To provide safe drinking water, we will install 12 RO plants on the premises of Rotarians’ houses. These will be accessible to the local community,” he explains.
Distributing 1,000 terrace garden kits to Rotarians and the public to usher in a green environment is on his to-do list. “Each club will donate a milch cow to a rural family to ensure a sustainable livelihood, and free mammograms will be done for needy women.” He has also urged clubs to take up Miyawaki forests wherever possible “depending on the availability of land given by the government and donors.” Over 150 solar lamps to tribal villages, an artificial limb centre and an oxygen tank to the Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Hospital in Salem, for which the district has donated ₹25 lakh to Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin, are in the pipeline.
Ten new clubs and 1,500 new Rotarians; chartering 50 community-based Rotaract clubs, and adding 500 more Rotaractors are also planned. His target for TRF giving is $750,000. In 1994, he along with his friends started a community-based Rotaract Club of Silver City. However, due to business commitment, he left it in 1997, and after a gap joined Rotary once again in 2005. | <urn:uuid:97ba218d-7290-4ac9-83db-7d062f504452> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://rotarynewsonline.org/meet-your-governors-august-2021/ | 2022-01-17T11:09:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.959944 | 1,924 |
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Tad bounces around in time and watches mankind grow and change. He loves humanity and helping when he can. However, his job isn’t conducive to helping people—he’s an Angel of Death.
Doug is a fun-loving drama queen. He’s an amazing drag queen and hairstylist with big dreams, but despite his witty exterior, he has a dark history and is prone to self-destruction.
When Tad pushes the boundaries of his duties too far, his wings are stripped away from him, and he is sent to New York City to live as a human. Lost and alone he ends up meeting Doug, and they start a friendship that shapes them both and may last a lifetime. But nothing is simple when you’re dealing with a former Angel of Death and a Drag Queen. Could these two cause the fabric of our world to collapse or will they manage to keep the future as it should?
I readily admit I struggled with this review for T.A.D.: The Angel of Death by M.D. Neu. It is at times incredibly moving and at others very narratively dry and drawn out. It can swing from the haunting and angst to the huh and almost boring. It can be lyrical and yes, downright mundane. So how to meld the two?
It’s hard because I hold this writer in high esteem. His other works, like The Calling or The Reunion are amazing examples of writing and high flights of literacy. I see moments of those here, especially in that Prologue.
For those of you out there for whom 9/11, even the words, is still that enormous traumatic tragedy that wounds you still, leaves you in tears. Well, that Prologue will be hard to read. It was for me. That is the sort of writing I expect from this author.
But it’s not sustained as the point of view switches from the Angel of Death (one of many) to Doug, a hairdresser and Drag Queen. For some reason, Doug is the character that removes the life from the story rather than sparks it. It really should be the other way around. Doug should have the pizazz, the zing, and heft as it were to carry this story. And in my opinion, Doug just doesn’t. At least not until the end. At the end? Everything suddenly came together with a twist and I was bawling my eyes out.
But for about one third or more of the story something was missing. The very life that TAD found so special, so precious, so worth sacrificing for. And I couldn’t help by feel that the author did;t telegraph that in his characters or storyline. He came close in certain scenes. But never enough of them strung together. The novel felt “talked to”, or drawn out when it should have felt lively.
There is no romance between the main characters here. It’s not that sort of story. Doug does find love, a romantic love. And love does abide. It’s just of another kind.
And that ending? Well, yes, as I said, many, many tissues and a twist I didn’t see coming. So well worth it. If only I hadn’t had to “walk : a long, sometimes long trail to get there.
I love drag queens, I love terrific endings, and the writing of this author. But all together in this story. I’m still puzzling that one out. I;ll leave it up to you.
Cover art: Natasha Snow. What a great cover. Full of elements pertaining to the storyline and visually captivating.

Closing on your home is the moment when you will become the official homeowners of your new home. But, as first-time homeowners, do you know everything that will be expected of you at your date of closing? We believe that its incredibly important for you come to your closing meeting prepared.

That’s why today, we want to share with you everything you’ll need to know about the closing process. We hope that this helps smooth your transition into homeownership.
There are certain things that you, as the home buyer, are responsible for bringing to the closing day. Double check before you go to your closing that you have everything you need to bring.
Bring the following things to your closing date:
Every closing is different. It is entirely possible that you could get your keys on closing day. However, for many people, they will get their keys on a different day, as negotiated in the contract. Make sure that you speak with your real estate agent if you have specific questions about getting the keys to your new home.
On the day of your closing, it might seem like you are signing a ton of legal documents. (That’s because you will be!) But don’t be intimidated by the amount of paperwork. You’ve made it this far in the process and you are almost done!
We believe that it’s important for our clients to understand what papers they are signing. We never want you to feel confused in the process. As a good rule of thumb, if you’re signing it, you should know what it is!

If you’re using your astrological sign for your daily readings, stop.
There’s a new horoscope in town and his name is Noodles. He’s a floppy, old pug ready to determine what kind of day lies ahead.
Starting in August 2021, owner Jonathan Graziano started posting TikToks every morning of his elderly pug, Noodles. Jonathan would wake Noodles from his slumber and stand him up. If Noodles would stay standing, then it was a Bones Day! If he flopped back over then it was a No Bones Day, meaning you should go easy on yourself for that day.
“It’s not that you can’t accomplish things, but you need to make sure to take care of yourself, that’s what Noodle does,” said Graziano in an interview with The Washington Post, regarding a No Bones Day being labeled as a “bad day.”
Gaining traction on TikTok, with 4.4 million followers and over 44,000 on Instagram, Noodles captured the attention and hearts of everyone.
“My whole day revolves around how Noodles is feeling,” said Olivia Wotherspoon, an Agua Fria senior.
People started making fan accounts, one being “NoodlesBonesDay” on Twitter where they post every day what the readings are.
Even though Noodles is adorable, some people aren’t a fan of his craft. More so they don’t understand it.
“It’s definitely getting on the chuegy side of the internet, the more basic part of it,” said Brittany Spanos, the co-host for Don’t Let This Flop in an article for The Rolling Stones magazine. (“Chuegy” is a term for when somebody is trying too hard).
Other people just feel like poor Noodles just needs a break, one being Grammy-winning artist Miss Dionne Warwick. “That dog has earned no bones every day as far as I am concerned. Let the dog rest,” she tweeted.
Now that Noodles is an influencer, if you love him enough you can buy his merch. He has a whole website! In fact, he just released a line of holiday sweaters! Prices range from $6 for stickers to $25 for clothing. Some items say, “I can’t, it’s a No Bones Day,” and others are just cute pictures of Noodles sleeping away in his bed peacefully.
From Grumpy Cat to Pudgy, pet influencers are nothing new to social media. Noodles just brings something new and different to the table. We hope the daily bones readings don’t stop soon, because if you’re like me you need to know how to plan accordingly. | <urn:uuid:20d4d821-a61e-4490-b9e2-d692a483db6b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://theowlfeed.com/8784/lifestyle/is-it-a-bones-or-no-bones-day/?print=true | 2022-01-17T09:47:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.946762 | 618 |

Whilst football may carry the power to unite a nation, it’s also proven itself too capable of dividing an audience. I wasn’t the only one with a headphone pressed to my ear until the last minute before David Sedaris stepped up to the centre spot (it was unclear whether the prohibition on drinks inside the auditorium was to protect against the risk of cascades of lager in the event of a goal), but England’s early lead made for a reassuring context in which to settle in for an evening in the company of Sedaris’ wit and charm.
Rather than tackle the conflict of loyalties head on, Sedaris instead diffused attention with an opening reference to his choice of outfit: a pair of oversized polka dot culottes. For a man whose voice is so familiar from the waves of Radio 4, there’s a natural curiosity to see if the visual matches up with the audio. Sedaris takes a wicked delight in a surprise and so once his sartorial choices were hidden behind the lectern the audience were teased and provoked with selections from his latest book that he wasn’t allowed to broadcast on the BBC, “probably for good reason”. These range from the charming to the filthy, the whimsical to the scatological, of which the full range are perhaps best encapsulated in a story of the competing challenges of a gastro-intestinal virus versus dogged commitment to meeting his daily FitBit target. The perky pitch of Sedaris’ voice brings a lightness to even the most difficult topics, but its his willingness to approach these both via a satirical curve or an honest head-on that make him special.
Sedaris’ endearing humanity takes a break during the closing Q&A part of the evening, for which he completes the transition to full-on (and impressive) stand-up. But there’s something very telling about the book signing that follows. Over the past decades his listeners and readership have been entrusted with all of the most intimate and (in)glorious moments of Sedaris’ life, and in return he has built an audience eager to spill their most personal anecdotes with an old friend, but new face. With every signing, Sedaris’ choice of repertoire grows the richer.

Counting one’s blessings is always a healthy and humbling thing to do. This year I’m thankful for a handsome new husband, a healthy and expanded family, sweet friends, puppies, yummy food, free time and so much more. I always think of Thanksgiving as a passage into six weeks of holidays and it’s lovely to be on the front end.
A happy girl is a pretty girl, don’t you agree?
(what i wore: dress – thrifted, peep toe booties – forever21, sunnies that are both round & cateye – ebay)
Oh hello. I was feeling blue yesterday because I’ve given up hope of staying sweat-free on my wedding day. At least everyone will be dripping wet when it’s 105 degrees at 8pm. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!!!
People might mistake my tears for sweat beads if I get a little emo (….I got a good man, anything could happen when someone tells me I get to keep him forevs). I hit a weight loss goal so the slightly gigantic hair is in honor of that. Or something. And yes. I am wearing sunglasses in the bathroom just because I wanted to show them off. I also couldn’t get anyone to go outside long enough to take a picture of me in a more sunglass-appropriate sitch.
It is THAT HOT.
I’ve had a really tough week at work. I can’t pin down exactly what the problem is. I’m sure it’s a combination of work/life/wedding stress that’s effecting my attitude. Anyway, something made me laugh today and I instantly felt better. It truly is the best medicine.
I hope something makes each and every one of you devastatingly happy this weekend.
I’ll be relaxing, celebrating a dear friend’s upcoming baby girl and continuing to nest in the new place.
My wedding dress comes in next Thursday, then it’s off to New Orleans for my bachelorette celebration with college friends. Don’t we all have so much to look forward to?
As of Friday morning (the same day I woke up at 4am to watch the royal wedding) there was nothing packed in either Robert’s or my house. As of today, we are living in the new house. So… a lot went down over the last few days. There was rain, there was 40 degree weather, there were floods and not everything is complete… BUT! we spent the night there last night! I cannot put into words the relief I feel today as I think about my new home with the guy I love and our little doggies. More to come about decorating and the like…
I hope you had a good weekend!
Hi friends! I hope you had a good weekend and are settling in for a short week. xx
Ro and I are headed south this afternoon to attend a funeral. So it will be a short week for me. While I’m gone, enjoy some of what I’ve been loving lately.

Payton Rosenzweig has been wearing high heels since the age of two. She was brought up in Fayetteville, Arkansas with two younger brothers by a very stylish mom. In her youth she refused pants and wore vintage to school dances. After graduating from Tulane University in 2007, she moved back NWA but is still involved in a love affair with New Orleans. Payton has always loved cosmetics and now works in the beauty industry for a mass brand. As of late, her blog prettypay, has gotten over 1,000 views per week and is focused on fashion, style, music, food, décor and beautiful things. She is newly engaged to a very handsome young man and they are planning an August wedding. She loves champagne, hats, dinner parties, fresh flowers, platforms, live music, dresses with cinched waists and bargain hunting. Payton tries to find inspiration in everything she encounters and always likes to dress for the occasion – whether it’s the theater or the rodeo.
Payton tends to gravitate towards classic feminine silhouettes by Chanel, ODLR and Prada but also likes to switch it up with menswear, vintage and utilitarian. Her favorite styles right now include strong shoulders, peter pan collars, cigarette pants, cat-eye sunglasses, dapper men and (as always) reinvention. | <urn:uuid:b1aa0b01-456b-4f4f-926e-2f9fb325f0d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://thewindowshopper.com/tag/self-reflection/ | 2022-01-17T09:27:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.952218 | 1,248 |

Writer’s Note: Before we can go about the business of social change in our country, we need to know and accept fully that our American society is based on racism. Racist attitudes and actions by white people against Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous people continue to be systemic in every social structure, and every organization, governmental or private. Racism is present in the full light of day in the actions of many white citizens of our country. And, as much as we hate to admit it, racist thoughts lurk in the minds of the majority of every other white person in America, including myself. Although we know how difficult it will be to actively combat this racism, especially in our own minds, we must be diligent and vigilant. Our efforts will not be perfect. I/we will make mistakes. But, we must learn from those mistakes and then move forward again in faith that our efforts are just.
Race Relations and the Color Divide
About a decade ago, I began thinking of race from the point of view of an artist. Here’s why. Artists often compose with color in their work. They understand that white is a color just like every other color including every version of black, red, brown and yellow. As artists apply it, white isn’t invisible, it’s not a lack of color, it’s not a section in a composition that is unnoticed or forgotten. If we extend this thought, we also notice that, although white is not the same as the other colors, it is not any more or less valued in a composition. It shares in the development of the artwork, sometimes moving to the fore, sometimes into the background, sometimes absent altogether. “White” is not one color, it has many shades: ecru, off white, eggshell, bright white, etc.
Let’s agree that using white is a choice that an artist makes when, in their mind, the composition requires it. White, like any other color, can be symbolic in the hands of an artist. Like any other color, it can be used to convey meaning. But, using white in a composition can also be devoid of symbolism; political or religious opinions, or emotion. Because I’m an artist, I know that sometimes, the choice of using a color in a composition is completely devoid of any extraneous thought altogether. It may simply be a reaction to what I see in front of me or in my mind as being appropriate.
From those thoughts, I arrived at the phrase to describe a human as being, “a color other than white” instead of a “person of color.”
Thoughts of “the Other”
The reason that I have an issue with the phrase, “a person of color,” is that the phrase still reeks of division and the comparisons that have led us to the untenable situation we find ourselves in now. The phrase still perpetuates the concept of the “other.” Looking at and thinking of someone as the “other” is the slippery slope that allows us to add additional attributes to that “other.” Attributes such as, “they aren’t as smart as me, they aren’t as honest as me, they aren’t as successful as me, they don’t deserve to have what I have, I don’t need to respect them as much (or at all!) as people who look like me, they don’t share my values”, and on and on…. All of these false attributes that we stick on the “other” inevitably lead to, “I’m afraid of them.” Thinking of someone as the “other” also allows us to think of our fellow humans as beneath us. It allows us to devalue them. It allows us to not bother learning about them. Worst of all, it gives us an excuse to disrespect them.
A Chance for Change
The point of this phrase, “a color other than white” is to understand that although we may seem different in many ways from someone else, deep down we are all the same. I don’t mean just in our bodily structure and functions. I mean that we all need and want the same things. We want ourselves and our families to be safe which includes living in a safe place and the freedom to move about without fear. We want to feel happy most of the time. This includes being well-fed and in good health. We want the best for those around us including the best education possible and engaging, well-paid work that leaves us feeling good about our contributions.
Swapping out the phrase “a color other than white” for “a person of color” (You could also swap out the word “white” and use the word “brown,” or “black” for example.) does not mean everyone has to be the same. It means that we MUST respect each other and agree that everyone on the planet should have what they believe is the life they and their families deserve. We must see each other as more alike than different and respect the differences as being valuable and worth learning about. We must accept that our diversity adds wonder, completeness and depth to our human family.
But, since we are obviously not equal, and our society is not respectful, or offering the same opportunities to everyone, or truthfully coming to terms with itself, those of us who are privileged to have the freedom to pursue what others are denied, must actively work to lift up folks who are a color other than white. We need to bend thoughtfully, ardently and energetically to the work of making sure that EVERYONE shares equally in what WE have, to learn about their lives and above all, to extend the respect to them that every human deserves. Realizing that we humans are fundamentally the same, and therefore should be respected as equally valued, must be the foundation of our efforts.

Acknowledgment of Paternity
When is an acknowledgment of paternity necessary?
If the parents of a child were not married during the pregnancy, only the man who acknowledges his paternity may be entered as the father to the child's Hungarian birth certificate, regardless of the contents of the US one. The acknowledgment may be signed before the birth.
When is the acknowledgment of paternity not possible?
A man cannot acknowledge his paternity if
- the mother was married during her pregnancy,
- or she divorced, and less than 300 days passed between the day of birth and the day on which the divorce took effect.
In the above cases, the legal presumption is that the husband or the ex-husband is the father. This presumption can only be contested at the court. There are some special rules for children born via an in vitro procedure. For clarifications, please send us an email at [email protected].
It is also impossible to acknowledge the paternity if a court has already passed judgment on paternity.
Who must give consent to the acknowledgment?
The consent of the
- the legal guardian of a minor, and
- child if he or she is at least 14 years of age
are necessary for the full effect of the acknowledgment.
If the mother or the child is deceased or is permanently hindered, consent may be given by the Hungarian guardianship office. A statement on the family name of the child is part of the acknowledgment and consent.
What special rules apply to parents under 18?
If the parents of the child are under 18, their legal representatives should appear in person as well. For the validity of the voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, the father should be at least 16 years older than his child.
How can paternity be acknowledged in the US?
How much is the fee?
You find information on the fee for the acknowledgment and any applicable fees (service fee for applications submitted during extramural consular days; also, consular assistance fee is applicable in certain cases) HERE. All fees are payable only by debit or credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover). We don't accept cash or check payments.
Which form do I need to fill out?
Pay attention to statements on the form that needs to be underlined.
Do not sign the forms, only in the presence of the consul!
What other documents are necessary?

Poker Burnout | Cutting Edge Interview 2017
Michael: Hi, I'm Mike Shackleford with the Wizard of Odds and I am at the 2017 cutting edge table game conference at the Paris Casino in Las Vegas. I'm joined again by Angel Espino. You may remember Angel from last year who was demonstrating his game, Blackjack Burnout.
What do you got for us this year, Angel?
[00:00:30] Angel: Well, this year we have a poker variation and it's called Poker Burnout and it's similar to Blackjack Burnout because you have the opportunity to burn a card that you don't want.
It goes with the theme and that's a beauty of the name of the game
You get three cards, but you can only keep two so you got to burn and make a decision and burn a card. We're going with the theme of Blackjack Burnout and Poker Burnout.
[00:00:54] Michael: All right. Well, I'm excited to play. Can I play a few hands?
[00:00:56] Angel: Yes. I'll walk you right through it.
[00:00:58] Michael: All right. Thank you.
[00:01:00] Angel: Everyone, place your bets
The blind here gets the player three cards. Each player gets three cards. There will be a flop, a turn, and a river. The whole objective is to try to get a three of a kind or better. Now, after the blind, you pay the ante to see the flop. You do the ante, everybody got the ante? Now, you get to see reveal the flop.
At this point, you want to do the call bet but you have to decide which card you want to throw back. You've got to burn a card before you see the turn and the river.
Here's where you want to make a decision…
…where you go for a flush or you want to go for the straight.
[00:01:42] Michael: Supposing I want to keep all my cards, is that an option?
[00:01:46] Angel: It's not an option because this is called poker burner. You got to burn one. There you go, and then all you do is place it there and then you put your cards here.
Now, I reveal…
…what we do is pick up the burn card, then we reveal the last two, the turn and the river. Now-- you just need the call bit there.
[00:02:08] Woman: Sorry.
[00:02:09] Angel: We're hoping here for a straight so you just got eight. Nope. No straight there. You take the money and then here we go. We got three of a kind.
Now, here's a really cool thing about it
The back pays even money and the front pays you six to one there. Got 30. There you go. Even the money on the call bet, ante, and six to one on the blind. The whole objective is to get a three of a kind or better. It'll pay the highest hand only. If you have a straight and a flush, it will pay the highest hand.
We'll reveal your hand
We have Jack and eight, so we have the straight there. You're using the best five out of the seven cards and you can also play the board. Here, you're playing one card and four community cards and that gets you the straight, even in the back, $80 in the front on the blind.
Good job. That's a good hand.
[00:03:14] Michael: We can have another hand?
[00:03:16] Angel: All right. Everybody place their bets. Good luck. Everybody gets three cards and good luck. Good luck. Good luck.
There's a flop…
…and we have a turn, and a river. The whole objective here is to get a three of a kind or better and we always recommend it to bet the ante so we can see the flop, because you never know what's going to happen on the flop. It's always recommended by the math to see the flop. Here we go. We're about to reveal the flop.
Now, we have the option to call and burn a card
You can burn a card. Burn a card, everybody burns a card. Dealer collects the cards and then now reveal the turn and the burn. There we go. We'll show the hands. You got two-pair, you need three of a kind or better. That comes down. Over here, we have two-pair eights and nines and over here we have a full-house, full boat, sevens full of nines.
On the back pays you even money…
…in the front is 20 to one so that is 200 on the front bet. Good job. 200 in the front and you get the full-house. Sevens full of nines. That's to use the best five cards out of the seven.
You can also just play the board if there's something on the board or you don't necessarily have to use your two hole cards.
[00:04:53] Michael: Angel, thank you so much for showing me the game. I liked it so much, can I play it anywhere?
[00:04:57] Angel: Not right now. Right now we're just introducing it to the public today. Today, we're revealing it. We're getting ready for early next year for a field trial and then that would happen in Black Hawk, Colorado.
Shortly after that, you'll be able to play it.
[00:05:11] Michael: All right. Thanks again.
[00:05:12] Angel: You got it. Thank you, Michael. Appreciate it. | <urn:uuid:136d2562-b2f0-439d-a1a9-28092e1144cb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://wizardofodds.com/video/poker-burnout/ | 2022-01-17T10:05:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.959092 | 1,247 |
Having lived in Cape Town for most of life, particularly in the leafy southern suburbs, I am no stranger to Hout Bay. With a vibrant community that is a true melting pot of many cultures, Hout Bay is famous for its fantastic mountain walks, big wave surfing, seals, fishing and all things to do with the sea! However, somehow its all-too-often overlooked by tourists who visit the Cape and I can’t figure out why. Ideally placed between two of Cape Town’s most scenic drives and within spitting distance of the Constantia Winelands and Kirstenbosch, it is, in my opinion, one of the best places for travellers to stay while still maintaining a truly authentic atmosphere.
That is why when I was recently invited to spend a night in Hout Bay at the Riverside Boutique Hotel, I jumped at the opportunity! A sleepy sheepdog sat on the veranda of the old Cape Dutch farmstead and welcomed me to my home away from home. And that is exactly what it was. My new fluffy friend was just one of seven pooches who welcomed me to the hotel, immediately making me feel relaxed and comfortable.
Venturing into the warm interior of the property, well-loved carpets and overstuffed furniture added to the feeling that somehow I had just gone to stay with a friend, or a long lost gran, rather than at a hotel!
From the comfort of my plush abode, I looked out onto 5 acres of sprawling gardens, home to no less than three swimming pools, while the dogs sat in the warmth of the setting sun!
And with a full weekend booked including market visits, beer tasting, seal snorkelling, sailing and even an e-bike ride along the coast, I knew I had found a place I could call home at the end of the day… I only wished I had time to linger longer… | <urn:uuid:32f44bb7-bc91-4145-8466-eb0cb89aceb0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.5starstories.co/our-stories/a-hop-skip-and-a-jump-to-hout-bay/ | 2022-01-17T10:01:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.968438 | 391 |

Heartbreaker BanquetWillie Nelson's Luck, Texas, Thursday, March 14
Willie Nelson's Luck, Texas, was originally built in 1986 on his ranch in Spicewood to serve as the film set for Red Headed Stranger. Legend says the original script had the town burning down, but Nelson wouldn't allow it. Good thing, as the Heartbreaker Banquet, now in its second year, provides the perfect respite from the South by Southwest madness, and one of the most unique events during the week. Organized by local video and production company Robot Fondue along with Electric Lady Studios in New York, the all-day party packed the ghost town with talent between an outdoor main stage and intimate altar in the tiny chapel. Austinites Lonesome Heroes and the Happen-Ins opened the day, the former laying their cosmic country inside and the latter dropping perfect Southern soul jams in the afternoon sun. Canadian quintet the Treasures and Indiana's Houndmouth both unloaded country roots that hearkened further south than their origins, as did the Brooklyn bluegrass of Spirit Family Reunion. While John McCauley's super indie quintet Diamond Rugs raucously demanded "Gimme a Beer," complete with threepiece horn section, the afternoon's standouts were Samantha Crain's Oklahoma folk, and the stunning blues inflected turns of Memphis' Valerie June as she previewed songs from her upcoming debut. Rising star Elle King's brassy vocals struck Janis Joplin touches in delivering "Good to Be a Man" and her lascivious cover of rapper Khia's "My Neck, My Back," and Phosphorescent's Matthew Houck serenaded the sunset with Willie Nelson's "Reasons to Quit," voice cracking perfectly in the dusty air. South Carolina duo Shovels and Rope pounded like an Americana Matt & Kim, and although Michael Kiwanuka's smooth soul salved the main stage as the night came on, it was Shakey Graves who may have worked the most fervent crowd, overflowing the 50-person capacity chapel. The local songwriter brought the congregation to their feet in a stomping and clapping furor as he moaned through "Unlucky Skin" and "Roll the Bones," veins popping from his sweat-streaked neck. If Shakey Graves threatened to quake the church with power, Austin's Monster of Folk Will Johnson caved the walls with reverence, a hushed crowd leveled by "Flashes and Cables." Jim James' cosmic, spiritual wanderlust closed the town, strobe lights uncannily flaring against the wooden facades as he explored Regions of Light and Sound of God. Only in Texas – Luck, Texas. | <urn:uuid:d74b0524-5063-42e6-98ae-0a77a690b5a7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2013-03-15/heartbreaker-banquet/ | 2022-01-17T11:32:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.958033 | 575 |

She has absolutely nothing left to prove. She doesn’t have to deal with overbearing parents, or discipline problems, or players’ academic issues, or bad refs, or late nights that turn into sleepless nights after tough losses.
But that can’t keep Shelly Dearden away from coaching. She is ready for a dose of all of that once again.
On Oct. 26, the Mercer County legend was approved by the school board to take over the Ewing High basketball team for a second time.
And that can only be a good thing for the Colonial Valley Conference in particular and New Jersey basketball in general.
The 1981 EHS graduate has won state championships in three different sports—girls soccer and girls and boys basketball. She has burned out twice in her 36-year career and taken two years off both times, only to return both times.
Having won all there is to win, what is this magnet that pulls her back?
“I just want to be with the kids,” said Dearden, who began tryouts Nov. 22. “I always loved and enjoyed coaching them, so it was just wanting them to come back and be with the kids again. You enjoy being with them and you enjoy their success when they move on, whether it’s in sports or in life.
“I still keep in touch with so many alumni and they tell me what they’re doing; if they’re married or having kids, or getting promoted in their jobs. A lot of them come back and watch the games. They enjoy the traditions we instilled here and they want to see the traditions continue.”
OK, so it’s the kids. But there is also the intangible of “I have kids, your team has kids, let’s see whose kids are better.”
“It’s also the competition,” Dearden continued. “I’m competitive with everything I do. The competition is definitely a plus when it comes to coaching.”
And oh how Dearden competes. She did it as a player and she does it as a coach.
While attending Ewing, Dearden played soccer, basketball and softball. She was a 1,000-point scorer in hoops and All-State in basketball and soccer. She moved on to Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey) where she scored 1,000 points and won a national title in softball.
After extremely successful softball and soccer coaching stints at Mercer County Community College, she became the Blue Devils girls’ soccer coach in 1989. In seven years, she won seven CVC titles, four NJSIAA sectional championships and one state title.
By then she was already head girls basketball coach and in 14 years she produced nine 1,000-point scorers, five CVC crowns, three Mercer County Tournament champs, four sectional titles and 1999 state title.
She stepped down after the 2002 season to recharge the batteries. Two years later, players and parents asked her to apply for the boys job. She did, and despite questions about a woman coaching boys, Dearden continued to grind out champs.
From 2004 to 2019, she molded four more 1,000-point scorers, won an MCT title and six state sectionals. In 2012, she became the only coach in the nation to win state championships in three different sports, and the first woman to win a girls and boys state championship.
If Dearden is not the symbol of Ewing High athletics, she is certainly prominent on its Mount Rushmore.
And while all her success is fun to experience, the work it takes to get there takes its toll and Dearden retired from teaching and coaching in 2019.
“I was very tired; I was exhausted,” Dearden said. “You go pretty much all year-round, seven days a week, 24 hours a day for 15 years, I was just exhausted. I did the same thing with the girls and just needed a rest.
“I was going seven days a week. In the off-season, that’s where you get better, so you gotta put your time in then. That was every day. I’d take one week off in August to spend time with my family, that’s the only time I turned off my phone to not talk about basketball. You’re going 51 weeks of basketball, basketball, basketball.”
Dearden and her husband, John, moved to their condo in north Florida and Dearden climbed into a no-hoops bubble.
“I didn’t even watch basketball the first year I gave it up,” she said. “I didn’t want to hear basketball, talk basketball; nothing. I know it sounds funny but I didn’t really do anything pertaining to basketball. I’m talking about any level -- college, NBA, high school. I just shut it off for at least a year.”
Nothing lasts forever, and after a while Dearden began to watch again. She would call Ewing girls coach Dan Montferrat to see how his team was doing (quite well, in fact), and would watch the live video stream broadcasts of boys games provided by Pennsylvania radio station WBCB.
Slowly, exhaustion turned to anxiousness.
“You get that itch, and that’s where I’m at,” Dearden said. “I got the itch and here I am.”
No one is happier she scratched that itch than Trey Lowe, one of Dearden’s assistants along with Brian Dudeck. Lowe is one of Ewing’s all-time greats and the CVC’s career scoring leader, and Dudeck coached formerly at Ewing and Princeton Day School.
“Shelly coming back is a big thing,” Lowe assured. “Bringing her back is like re-running the history we had.
“She’s a great coach who brings along a great philosophy and knowledge to the game. These new players will be in for something special and exciting.”
Dearde feels the same way about Lowe, who was headed for a nice career at Temple University until an auto accident derailed him.
“It’s really nice to have him back, he’s very enthusiastic and can’t wait for the season to start,” Dearden said. “We’ll see what he brings to the table when games and practices get here. I’m sure he’s already talking to the kids that they have to have that shirt and tie and dress pants (on game day); that looking sharp kind of thing. He knows what it takes to put the work and time in, he’s been doing it his whole life. It’s just gonna be on the other side of the line now.”
The coaching staff inherits a program that has struggled since Dearden’s departure. After going 15-10 her last season, the Devils dropped to 4-15 and 4-10 the past two years. The new coach is familiar with several of the seniors and juniors that are returning, but with little to go on other than what she saw on a few video stream games, everyone is starting fresh.
“They all have a clean slate and a shot at making the team,” Dearden said.
And whoever is on the team, she will work hard to make sure they improve.
“Everybody thinks Ewing has so much talent and Ewing has this and that,” Dearden said. “They are correct. We do have a lot of talent. But you also have to mold role players and basketball players. You have to get them on the same page you’re on, trying to get across the philosophies you believe in and make them believe in them.”

IT IS already being described as the moment when America’s “pivot” to Asia was seen to have gone awry. Not the shock when Rodrigo Duterte, the new president of the Philippines, an American ally, caused titters by calling Barack Obama the “son of a whore”—but when he called a few days later for an end to American military assistance, including joint patrols in the South China Sea. “China is now in power,” he declared, “and they have military superiority in the region.”
China is chuffed. The Philippines, after all, had brought a landmark case against China’s activities in the South China Sea to an international tribunal at The Hague. In July the tribunal rubbished China’s territorial claims and criticised its construction of artificial islands. Outraged, China swore to ignore the ruling. America insisted it must be binding. Its interest in the South China Sea, it has always said, is in upholding international law. So imagine its embarrassment now. The vindicated plaintiff appears to be saying to China, “Go ahead, help yourself.”
The intention of the pivot was to reassure America’s allies in the region. Admiral Harry Harris, the commander of American forces across Asia and the Pacific, boasted last week that, in terms of American military hardware, “Everything that’s new and cool is coming to the region.” That includes the first of the Zumwalt class of destroyer, with looks straight out of “Star Trek” and a captain by the name of James Kirk. Yet although America has boosted its strength in the Pacific, its defence budget is severely constrained. Chinese military spending, meanwhile, has been growing by 10% a year, much of it on naval, satellite and cyberspace programmes designed to deny America access to the airspace and seas around China in any conflict, and to undermine America’s commitments to its Asian allies.
America still has the world’s strongest armed forces, and even the most fearsome military presence in East Asia. Yet the alchemy of power involves more than iron force, as Admiral Harris underlined by stressing another vital aspect of the pivot: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a 12-country free-trade pact foundering in Congress. In August the prime minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, called TPP’s ratification “a litmus test” of American credibility in Asia. With both presidential candidates opposed to TPP, and Mr Obama’s chances of pushing it through the lame-duck Congress looking ragged, it is a test America will probably fail.
And yet it is still too early to call time on the pivot and declare China the next Asian hegemon. China remains far less adept as an alchemist of power—though not for want of trying. Its diplomacy towards its neighbours is full of “mutual respect”, “win-win” relationships and “common destiny”. President Xi Jinping makes much of his “One Belt, One Road” initiative to create infrastructure tying Eurasia closer to China by land and sea. Meanwhile China lavishes aid and state-led investment on smaller countries in South, Central and South-East Asia.
China’s munificent approach towards its periphery, as Evelyn Goh of the Australian National University points out, is supposed to make it harder for countries drawn into China’s economic embrace to maintain a system of regional security with America at the core. Some already see a new order asserting itself, with China again at the celestial heart of things, and neighbouring states orbiting like planets around it. Mr Duterte’s own pivot would seem to be a case in point.
It all sounds very benign, especially since China’s courtship emphasises a shared approach to development. That, in turn, rests on continuity in neighbouring states, reinforcing political elites and their existing priorities. Who would argue with that?
Well, for a start, anyone who opposes the prevailing political order in the courted countries. China’s close involvement with the ruling elites in such places only adds to local resentment. In 2011 widespread animosity, even within the regime, led the head of Myanmar’s military government, Thein Sein, to halt construction of a huge dam being built by Chinese state companies. The weakened junta subsequently ceded much of its power to Aung San Suu Kyi, who now heads an elected government, further diminishing China’s influence. An own goal, in other words.
In Sri Lanka last year the surprise electoral defeat of the strongman president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, happened in part because his family had openly courted Chinese investment and benefited from it. The defeat put China on the back foot and opened the way for Indian re-engagement with the island. Tiny Laos is increasingly unhappy at being a Chinese client state, with locals chafing at Chinese loggers and plantations. The closed, communist country gave Mr Obama a hearty welcome earlier this month.
Next door in Cambodia, the flagrant cronyism from which key Chinese businessmen profit may prompt a backlash as soon as the ageing and thuggish ruler, Hun Sen, is seen to be ailing. Even in the Philippines, a provocation in the South China Sea, such as the start of construction on the Scarborough Shoal, from which China dislodged the Philippine navy four years ago, might cause Mr Duterte to tack back to the United States. Ordinary Filipinos, after all, are wildly pro-American.
Losing sight, losing its cool
China has two blind spots, Ms Goh concludes. The first is its tendency to downplay what she calls the “autonomous agency” of small neighbours. Any discomfort with its embrace is mistakenly ascribed to the machinations of America. The second is its failure to grasp how aggressive behaviour—not least in the South China Sea—undermines China’s more benign efforts to win influence. The gap between growing material power and lagging status and clout is the “dissonance” that so frustrates Chinese leaders. And so the concern in the next few years is not that China gets its way, but that it doesn’t, and proceeds to vent its spleen.

Want more gifts for coffee nerds? Read this.
A word of advice: if you want to give a coffee person a coffee gift, don’t try and buy them coffee beans. Instead, pay for their beans and let them choose. Such is the flexibility Trade’s new gift program affords. You select how many bags you want to pay for (they run about $20 a bag), provide an email (yours or the giftee’s) and your coffee-loving friend is sent to Trade’s coffee matching program to identify which bags best suit them (or they can just pick from around the site).
If you’re a coffee person and you’re unfamiliar with Trade, familiarize yourself. The site connects more than 50 of America’s best coffee roasters under one roof, allowing you (or lucky friends and family) access to all of them.

There are two deadly ways to fish a chewing gum worm; under an indicator or as a single fly on a floating or sinking line.
In flat calm conditions, we find the best way to fish one of these worms is on a 10-15ft leader, simply cast out, let the fly sink to the desired depth and slowly figure of eight back, as if you were fishing a team of buzzers. When fished slowly, the limpness in the material gives this fly a lifelike appearance, as if it were crawling or wriggling through the water. If the fish are in a chasing mood, it’s also worth fishing these flies quickly on a sinking line.
If there is a slight wind with a ripple on the surface, the chewing gum worms can be deadly fished under a bung especially in the winter months (Check out these top 5 tips for fishing the bung). Once you’ve found the feeding depth of the fish, set your worm at the desired depth below an indicator. Cast out, and let the fly sink. The ‘legs’ of the worm will tend to stand and wave as it’s falling through the water, and once fully sunk, the slight ripple on the water will lift the bung every so slightly, forcing the legs to gently lift and fall due to the buoyancy of the material. In a flat calm, the legs may just become limp with no movement at all unless inflicted by a short pull on the line or twitch of the rod tip.
Another advantage of the Chewing Gum worm is that it has not been produced through an extruded process making it legal for certain competitions, where the likes of the squirmy worm may well be banned. | <urn:uuid:d02162ac-d38b-4d54-bf69-d5d1a3cbceaf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.granitecityfishing.co.uk/product-category/chewing-gum-worms | 2022-01-17T09:31:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.94649 | 352 |
Born the son of an Italian banker in 1649, Henri de Tonti has illustrious relatives. His father, Lorenzo de Toni, was the governor of Gaeta and invented the tontine life insurance plan, where the initial investors split the returns until all but one dies. His brother Alphonse de Tonti was one of the founders of Detroit. His cousin Duluth went onto explore Minnesota and the city of Duluth is named for him. Henri is best remembered as the right hand man of French explorer, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. However, he has quite a story in his own right.
The family was originally from Naples, but fled to France after a failed rebellion against the Spanish viceroy. Once in France, young Tonti joined the French military at a relatively young age and served in seven campaigns. During the Sicilian wars, he served with the French Navy and had his hand was blown off in a grenade explosion. There are legends which say when he saw the mangled mess of a hand, Tonti just hacked it off himself. Much like Gottfried “Götz” von Berlichingen before him, he went with it and improvised. (For more on Gottfried “Götz” von Berlichingen, please see this post: http://www.historynaked.com/gotz-iron-hand/ ) Tonti had an “appliance” put on the stump and wore a glove over it. Some stories say it was iron hook, while others sources say it was an actual iron hand. His fellow soldiers gave him the nickname “Iron Hand”, and his ability to knock a person unconscious in one blow impressed Europeans and Native Americans alike in his later career. The Iroquois much later named him “Thunder Arm”, which in my opinion sounds much cooler. One historian refers to him as a real life Captain Hook, and his portrait bears out the comparison.
In 1678, Tonti ’s regiment disbanded after the treaty of Nymwegen. He returned to Versailles and cast about for something to do. Fate took a turn, and Tonti was recommended to La Salle by the Prince de Conti to assist in La Salle’s exploration of the New World. La Salle had already been exploring lands in North America and was fascinated with the Seneca tales of the “father of waters”, a great river which ran to the “Vermilion Sea” in the east. He made it as far as a waterfall on the Beautiful River (the Ohio), but was unable to get to the Mississippi, which was eventually discovered by Louis Joliet and Father Pierre Marquette. He was in charge of the improvement of Fort Cataracqui, which was the oldest military establishment in Ontario. Under his direction, the renamed Fort Frontenac, after the new governor of Canada Count Frontenac, was well received in Paris. Flush with success, La Salle decided his next endeavor would be to build a sailing ship on the upper Great Lakes above Niagara falls. After much grumbling, he convinced the Seneca to allow this to happen so he dumped Tonti and some voyaguers at Cayuga Creek during the winter of 1678 and told them to get to building. It was not that easy. The men lived in bark huts and survived on little food and and had less than adequate materials to build their ship. The only entertainment was sing Gregorian chants on Sundays and holidays. Although they had permission from the Seneca, they were always lurking around and there were attacks. Despite it all, they completed the ship which they named the Griffon, after the coat of arms of Count Frontenac. By August 1679, the Griffon was sailing across Lakes Erie, Huron and through the Straits of Mackinac to Lake Michigan. Unfortunately, the long sought after ship sank on the voyage home.
La Salle, however, did not know this and continued his voyage south to explore the Mississippi Valley. The explored to the source of the Illinois River, and built a fort at the site of present day Peoria they named Crevecoeur. They spent the winter with the Illinois tribe, where a group of deserters tried to poison them. La Salle only survived because of an antidote brought with him from France. Despite this, they decided to built yet another fort, they called Starved Rock, and another ship. La Salle returned to France by way of Ontario leaving Tonti to literally hold the forts with few men and fewer supplies. While inspecting progress at Starved Rock, the men at Fort Crevecouer mutinied and stole all the supplies they could get their hands on. Tonti sent back to La Salle for reinforcements, and in the meantime was reliant on the Illinois tribe for supplies and support. As if on cue, messengers came that the enemy of the Illinois, the powerful Iroquois, were marching to attack with La Salle with them. The furious Illinois were about to take care of their Tonti problem with a quick hit the back of the head, when Tonti offered to prove the loyalty of the French by negotiating peace or leading the attack on the Iroquois. The Illinois tribe reluctantly agreed.
Tonti decided the best move was to try to negotiate so he strolled out to the Iroquois holding a necklace in his hand, as a sign of peace. They were nothing but surprised, but had the presence of mind to stab him in the chest severing one of his ribs. Not taking the hint, Tonti decided to threaten them with war with France. While the chiefs were deciding whether to scalp him or burn him to death, he puttered off back to his fort despite “the great quantity of blood I had lost, both from my wound and my mouth”. The stunned Iroquois decided this guy must be crazy and signed a peace treaty to placate him. Tonti and five survivors made it to Green Bay in late 1680.
La Salle and Tonti were back at it as soon as Tonti recovered from his wounds. The two travelled south again and established a settlement on the Illinois River called Fort St. Louis. The two of them journeyed all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi where La Salle claimed all the land it touched for France. Tonti was witness many ceremonies claiming the land for France, including one at present day Arkansas Port National Memorial at the mouth of the Arkansas River. There he established a trading post with the Quapaw Indians he named Poste aux Arkansas. He declared himself “Seignor [sic] [of] the City of Tonti and the river of Arkansas” or the Lord of the Arkansas River. The trading post had some issues because it was difficult to reach and Louis XIV put the kibosh on beaver pelt trading south of Canada. As feudal lord, Tonti had to enforce the king’s will, which angered Native Americans and French traders alike. Settlers were few and far between and money was tight.
After financial difficulties, he had to return to Montreal, but was bitterly unhappy about it. Eventually, Tonti was able to return to the lower Mississippi with an expedition headed by Pierre Le Moyne, sieur d’Iberville. Tonti was chosen to broker a peace between the warring Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. He was active in exploration of the Gulf region until he died of yellow fever at Old Mobile in 1704. Legend has it Tonti’s remains “were laid to everlasting rest in an unknown grave near Mobile River, and not far from the monument erected in 1902 to commemorate the site of old Mobile.” In the words of the Mississippi historian B. King, “Tonty [sic] was without question the most intelligent pioneer France ever possessed in America.” | <urn:uuid:585cc1ad-c96c-4b58-8b6a-eff59566878e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.historynaked.com/chevalier-henri-de-tonti-thunder-arm/ | 2022-01-17T10:20:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.983828 | 1,664 |

The sides are slightly shorter than the front and back pieces, making a slender gap on the prime of the nest box for airflow. The left side of the nest field opens for cleansing, utilizing a simple hinge. A small Fledgling Shelf mounted to within the nesting box allows the baby kestrels to look out of field whereas ready for their parents to arrive with their next meal. | <urn:uuid:0653b512-3fbd-4e8a-a451-3f62cc3c2d3e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.homeinsur.net/new-american-house-plans-at-dream-house-supply.html | 2022-01-17T09:50:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.931379 | 437 |

Unless you already live in a cave or you are a complete and total mindless follower of the establishment media, you should be able to see very clearly that our society is more vulnerable now than it ever has been. This year there have been an unprecedented number of large earthquakes around the world and volcanoes all over the globe are awakening. You can just take a look at what has happened in Haiti and in Iceland to see how devastating a natural disaster can be. Not only that, but we have a world that is full of lunatics in positions of power, and if one of them decides to set off a nuclear, chemical or biological weapon in a major city it could paralyze an entire region. War could erupt in the Middle East at literally any moment, and if it does the price of oil will double or triple (at least) and there is the possibility that much of the entire world could be drawn into the conflict. Scientists tell us that a massive high-altitude EMP (electromagnetic pulse) blast could send large portions of the United States back to the stone age in an instant. In addition, there is the constant threat that the outbreak of a major viral pandemic (such as what happened with the 1918 Spanish Flu) could kill tens of millions of people around the globe and paralyze the economies of the world.
But even without all of that, the truth is that the U.S. economy is going to collapse. So just think of what will happen if one (or more) of those things does happen on top of all the economic problems that we are having.

Agri produce exports
“In the third quarter of 2020, South Africa saw a record quarterly exports of US$3.2 billion, which is an increase of 5% on a year-on-year basis. The growth in agricultural exports was primarily underpinned by citrus, wine, maize, nuts, deciduous fruit and sugar cane. These products will continue to support South Africa’s agricultural exports in the last quarter of 2020” – Wandile Sihlobo, chief agricultural economist, Agriculture Business Chamber SA Weekly Agricultural Viewpoint
“Apricot: The apricot season is expected to be up 23% compared to last season. The increase is due to better winter rain and a cooler spring. The season is estimated to be 7—10 days later. Apricots inspected and passed for export YTD week 44 = 226 eqv. cartons compared to the previous season.”
“Nectarines: A projected increase of 11% is expected for nectarines compared to last season’s volumes.

Victories by Australian Institute of Sport/NSW Institute of Sport scholarship holders Holly Crawford and Nathan Johnstone in the men's and women's halfpipe finals follow Alex "Chumpy" Pullin's historic gold in the snowboard cross, leaving Australia on top of the medal tally at the FIS Snowboard World Championships.
For 26-year-old Crawford and 20-year-old Johnstone, both from NSW's Perisher resort, the World titles are their career-best achievements.
Crawford not only had to battle against her competition, she also had to contend with a severe bout of food poisoning that left her extremely lethargic going into the final.
But not even food poisoning could prevent Crawford from getting caught up in the excitement of the biggest victory of her career.
"I am overjoyed and extremely happy," Crawford said.
"The important thing today was staying calm. A number of the other girls looked like they were pushing it a little too hard. I remained relaxed and did the basics as well as possible, which is what we have been focusing on in practice."
Johnstone said that he used the prospect of winning the World Championships as a goal to spur himself on during his eight-month recovery period after breaking his ankle and missing the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.
"Winning today means a lot," Johnstone said. "I've been training really hard this season and targeted this event to do well. I'm stoked."
Johnstone is not going to rest on his laurels and has set himself the goal of winning the 2010/2011World Cup tour.
Halfpipe head coach Ben Alexander said that the cornerstone of Crawford's and Johnstone's titles are linked to keeping the "fun" element in training.
"Obviously hard work is important but we have been concentrating on making sure they continue to enjoy their snowboarding," Alexander said.
"It's important to keep it simple and keep going big. Today they had good amplitude and great execution."
Crawford set up the World Championship title by grabbing the lead in her first run with a stunning performance overcoming a howling wind that caused havoc for most of the other athletes.
She finished on 26.7 points, 3.3 points ahead of Swiss rider Ursina Haller with China's defending World Champion Jiayu Liu making up the other podium place with 22.5 points.
Johnstone also won his title with his first run and, like his teammate, handled the conditions better than the other 11 finalists finishing on 26.8 points, 0.6 ahead of Switzerland's Iouri Podladtchikov. Fin Markus Malin was in third place, a further 2.5 points behind the Australian.
Crawford, a veteran of nine years on Australia's national team and 11 World Cup podiums, now adds a gold medal to the silver she won in the 2009 World Championships in Gangwon, Korea.
Crawford and Johnstone will not have long to savor their wins - they head to Aspen, Colorado, in the United States, to compete in the X-Games within two days. | <urn:uuid:8c2097a5-ac46-4780-9213-ccce0caff4ab> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.owia.org/park--pipe-news/australia-wins-world-championship-double | 2022-01-17T09:46:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.976396 | 638 |

Musicians are barely getting a slice of music industry revenue, largely eating off of live performances instead. For ‘Tour Tales,’ we dig into the rider requests, delayed shows, diligent preparation, and future of touring by talking with the multitude of people that move behind the scenes. Record executives, photographers, tour managers, artists, and more all break down what goes into touring and why it’s still so vital to the livelihood of your favorite artists. What happens on tour stays on ‘Tour Tales.’
Barry “Hefner” Johnson has been one of the central guiding forces behind the careers of EarthGang and J.I.D. years before they achieved Dreamville fame. So, he is keenly aware of what it takes to become an in-demand hip hop act.
“Them boys spent three to five years away from their families for small to medium to big-sized money. I also think they felt like Atlanta was so heavily trap rap at the time that they weren’t going to get their just dues at home right now,” Johnson told REVOLT.
In this installment of “Tour Tales,” the SinceThe80s co-founder talks about sacrifices EarthGang made to tour with Ab-Soul, performing at a festival during the pandemic, and Dreamville planning a special performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Read below.
What was the first EarthGang and J.I.D. show you attended?
The first show I saw from them was a Spoiled Milk show, a curated show. They had [Young] Thug on it. They had Rich Homie Quan, as well… I had just met them and was coming to see their performance to see if I wanted to get in business with them… I remember when I pulled up, I had my camera because I wanted to get the footage of their show to study it and see how their performance was… J.I.D., Hollywood JB, and Jordan Bryant performed. They were trying to put the whole Spillage Village on this little 15-minute set. By the time EarthGang got to perform, their time was up. So, they never got to perform. I just saw their stage presence and their energy. I was highly pissed off because I was coming for EarthGang, but that was also when I saw J.I.D. perform and I was like, “Damn, this little nigga is amazing too.”
What did you notice they needed to adjust for their live performance?
I watched a lot of shows and I’ve seen a lot of rap performers, and I instantly knew they were better than everybody. They were captivating from out the gate. You may not have heard of their music, but when they left the stage, you were going to be like, “Who the fuck was that?” We were actually talking about this recently. We had big conversations with AEG and Live Nation about these tour deals they sent over for the guys. We were telling them that their strength was their stage presence, energy, and how captivating they were. Their weakness was they didn’t know how to put a set together. They didn’t understand how to curate their shows. At the time, I don’t think they knew crowds, energy, and how to curate a show in the sense of how to include your short songs that people can get. I remember at one point in time, they used to never perform one of their biggest songs. They had to learn how to not just include songs they thought were the best songs, but also songs that actually move the crowd.
One of their first big tours was on Ab-Soul’s “These Days Tour” in 2014. What show did EarthGang win the crowd over?
Every fucking night. You have to realize, we weren’t getting paid for those shows. That was money I took out of my pocket, and we went across the country for two and a half months in a Chevy Traverse opening up. It was really an opportunity. At that time, TDE was the biggest. I don’t think Dreamville was really in the picture for us at that time. We were all just cool with them. EarthGang always felt like Atlanta fucked with them but they had to prove themselves outside the city to come back. Every night they showed their ass for 15 minutes and they had to. They were the underdogs. They were the ones trying to get their name out there… The most impressive show was in New York because we had technical difficulties and they fought through that to keep the crowd engaged. New York will boo your ass. I think they freestyled and all types of shit because it felt like somebody was sabotaging us at the time. The sound went out and shit wasn’t working. It was weird.
What was that backstage camaraderie like between EarthGang and Ab-Soul?
We were the baby act. We were the opening act. We were the niggas in the Chevy Traverse. Bas and Ab-Soul were on the bus. We didn’t have any tour bus or anything. A lot of times when we got off stage, we had to get rest because niggas were driving. We had one hotel room in every city with six niggas sleeping in that motherfucker. We really had to use our time wisely. The first two to three weeks of the tour, we didn’t really have any camaraderie with Ab-Soul. He was on his bus. He would say what’s up, but we didn’t start vibing with him until a few weeks on the road. Once niggas started kicking it, they started inviting niggas on the bus and shit. It was really relaxed energy. We were really close with this nigga Doe Burger. He was coming through fucking with niggas.
How important is it for you to see a live performance before you decide to manage an act like EarthGang?
It depends on the type of artist you’re dealing with. We all want to put artists into groups. If you rap, then they say you’re a rapper. We try to put people in certain areas because it makes it easier for us to identify. In actuality, there are certain artists who do certain things. My thing has always been about the strength of the artist. To develop an act from the ground up that doesn’t already have a base, performance is key. You have to be able to get in front of people and win people over. How do you leave an impact on somebody when the airwaves are too noisy with too many releases for you to catch people’s attention? How do you catch people’s attention when you’re not the type of artist willing to get on the internet to entertain and clown via IG or something? The performance will always be key.
No more than three years after you started working with EarthGang and J.I.D., they were touring overseas. What do you attribute to that leap from opening act to headliners?
It was just the vision we had for one another as a team. When I first started managing EarthGang and J.I.D., we sat down as a team and talked about global domination. We talked about sacrificing certain things early in their careers to have later in their careers. Everybody we brought on to the team, we made sure they knew these were the things we wanted to do. We felt if we did the things nobody was willing to do, eventually, we’ll be bigger than everybody, especially on that touring front. I tip my hats to them because them boys spent three to five years away from their families for small to medium to big-sized money. I also think they felt like Atlanta was so heavily trapped rap at the time that they weren’t going to get their just dues at home right now. In order for them to really do it, they had to impact everywhere else and then Atlanta would start paying attention.
EarthGang has performed almost everywhere, and you’re doing a big Dreamville at Red Rocks concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater in October. Have you all ever done that stage?
Nope, we never have. Mac Miller used to kill that shit and used to have that shit rocking. I’m interested in seeing how we perform. They both have new music on the way and they’re looking for every opportunity to test out new shit before it drops. Both of their albums will probably be out before the concert.
I was telling [Ibrahim ‘Ib’ Hamad] the other day that we can focus on the storytelling and put on a really amazing show. I want it to be a legendary night. Coming off these albums that will be out by that time, it would be amazing. We all haven’t been on stage together in two years almost because of the pandemic.
What are J.I.D. and EarthGang’s tour hits?
For J.I.D., “Ed, Edd & Eddy” goes stupid. “Westbrook” goes stupid. I’ve seen people mosh pitting to J.I.D.’s shit and I didn’t understand. “All Bad” is a tour hit. People love when he sings that. Those are low-key joints. “Off Da Zoinkys” go crazy. For EarthGang, they have a lot of music. “A.W.O.L.” used to go crazy. “Liquor Sto’” used to go crazy. “MACHETE” used to go crazy. “Momma’s Calling” used to go crazy. Anything off of their EPs. One of our favorite songs that people like from those EPs is “So Many Feelings.” People love to dance to those records. They’d invite people on stage to dance.
EarthGang left their families to perform at the Bay Dreams Festival in New Zealand in January during the pandemic. What went into that decision?
We put a lot of work in around the world. Those guys — for four to five years — have done nothing but tour. That was the plan because we knew if you don’t make hits, you have to figure out how you attack the business from another route. You can’t finesse people. That decision was made because of their love of what they do. They love their fans. They were dedicated to being on the road and performing. Doc has a son. To him, it was like, “When I come back, it’s going to be something they can talk about. It’s going to be something where my son can see how dedicated I was at my job.” This was an opportunity to not only show people we will get back to normalcy but also spread positivity.
They have some of the most dedicated fans. What are the most interactions you’ve seen on the road?
I remember when we first started, EarthGang was signing titties every night. It got so crazy to the point where the dudes were like “Sign my forehead.” They were signing people’s heads and titties. I was confused because that wasn’t that type of music. Those girls were super dedicated to that shit. J.I.D.’s fans just think he’s a rockstar. I remember they were bringing paintings for J.I.D. He was signing shoes. He was doing all of that shit. When Doc from EarthGang got the “No More Bad Karma” tattoo, a lot of people started to get NBK tattoos.
What moments do you feel strengthened your bond with EarthGang?
I hated them niggas when we first toured. They were hard-headed. I just had my son, so I was the person trying to be the adult. It was my first time driving around the country, as well. I was trying to keep us safe. One thing I will say about touring, you will learn a lot about a person… They wanted to smoke everywhere and shit. That process brought us closer together because if you can survive with someone on the road for two and a half months, you do get to see a lot of things about that person. That road will tell you if you’re really made for this shit or not. I saw that even though we aren’t where we are yet, they’re willing to do what it takes to get there. That’s all I needed to know about them at the time. | <urn:uuid:dfcc1d34-1723-4fcf-a7e7-19962088e71f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.revolt.tv/article/2021-06-22/50851/tour-tales-barry-hefner-johnson-knows-what-j-i-d-and-earthgang-sacrificed-for-world-domination/ | 2022-01-17T09:50:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.988816 | 2,695 |
With the above factors in your thoughts it will be a lot simpler so that you can handle your property. Property typically involves complicated authorized points which could possibly be best averted if we take the assistance of management firms.

Actual property brokers often personal a company or a franchise, and they are accountable for organising earnest money accounts and for approving remaining contracts. States require brokers to take considerably further lessons and to move extra exams than agents. Brokers work for brokers, and so they minimize up their commissions with these supervisors. A realtor is a member of the Nationwide Affiliation of REALTORSÂ As of Dec. 31, 2017, the group reported that it had greater than 1.three million members. Each brokers and brokers could also be realtors. (For extra, see: What Are the Variations Amongst a Real Estate Agent, a Dealer and a Realtor ).
Basics of economic rent comparability.
Managing a rental property is not only all about realizing find out how to take care of it and understanding the concept of your administration. In taking part in the function of a rental property supervisor, you will need to also know the issues that you could be encounter in managing your property. Usually, a rental property business fails due to the two widespread issues, which are the shortage of contact and relationship along with your tenants and the shortage of inspection and maintenance providers.
Another necessary issue is the properties temperature in and out. Air conditioning and ceiling followers are necessary in a hotter climate and heating is necessary in a cooler climate. Tenants will know if they are looking at an apartment or townhouse and the bedrooms are upstairs they will be scorching in summer season and chilly in winter. They may search for issues like a separate air-con unit in the master suite or a minimum of ceiling fans. If the principle residing area in the house has the recent sun beating in on that facet of the house all day long in summer season they will in all probability anticipate an air conditioner. The identical applies to exterior, is there a patio and if that’s the case is it large sufficient that the tenants can comfortably entertain below and never so small they need to sit inside when their relations or mates visit. The home must also be safely ventilated and have enough windows to seize the breezes as this can save on their energy prices for tenants as properly.
How do they handle slow or nonpaying tenants?
For a former tenant that refuses to depart upon eviction, it is not really a case of squatting. This situation calls for authorized involvement. It’s not likely the police will intervene in case you call 911. Nevertheless, going via the correct authorized (courtroom) channels will help guarantee legal enforcement (and possibly forced removal) of the eviction and former tenant.
3. File every part in writing. As manager of any actual estate, words spoken are not value very much and normally will not hold up in court. So just be sure you write the whole lot down including lease increases, promises to pay, renewals, or improvements or repairs that you just or the tenant have agreed to carry out.
Some sprout from seeds and grow, flower, produce seed and die within one season. If at all you do occur to come throughout any sort of issues, you’d certainly rent legal professionals that can assist you combat your case. As told earlier, managers can handle property management professionally. | <urn:uuid:a37a283d-c358-4d2d-8575-7ed7c0479ac7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.richardlandlive.com/the-mysterious-secret-in-to-property-management-agent-discovered.html | 2022-01-17T10:50:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.951424 | 740 |
