The History and Benefits of the Hot Toddy with Tea
Tea is one of the oldest and most consumed beverages in the world. We're going to talk about the history and benefits of hot toddy with tea!
Marty October 24, 2022 — 1 minute read
The hot toddy is a drink that has been around for centuries, and for good reason. This simple drink made with tea, honey, lemon, and whiskey (or bourbon) is not only delicious but also has some great health benefits. Let's take a closer look at this wintertime favorite.
The history of the hot toddy is a bit murky, but most believe that it originated in Scotland in the 18th century. The name "toddy" is thought to come from the Hindi word "tārī," which refers to a type of palm tree sap that was used to make a fermented alcoholic drink. This original toddy was brought to Scotland by soldiers who had served in India, and it quickly became popular among the working class as a way to warm up on cold winter days.
Interestingly, the hot toddy was originally conceived as a medicinal drink. Whiskey was thought to have antibacterial properties, and honey was used as a cough suppressant. Lemons were added for their Vitamin C content, and tea was included for its antioxidants. Taken together, these ingredients make for a potent cold-fighting concoction. So next time you're feeling under the weather, ditch the Nyquil and cozy up with a hot toddy instead!
There's nothing quite like a hot toddy on a cold winter night. This classic beverage is not only delicious but also has some great health benefits. So next time you're looking for a way to warm up, reach for a hot toddy instead of another cup of coffee—your body will thank you!

You’ve always been an independent person, and your kids are pretty much the same. You accepted that your dreams may not be their dreams – and that includes your plans for (what is currently) the “family business.” Now, however, at least one of your children has expressed an interest in joining your team. On one hand, you’re delighted at the
Are your family members right for your business?
You’ve been in business for a long time now. In fact, you’re getting closer to retirement each day. This has encouraged you to think about what will happen to your company once you are no longer around to run it. One option at your disposal is to bring in your family members and train them for the succession. Is this
Building a functional business partnership
There are numerous forms and structures that your business can take. For instance, in the beginning, you may start out as a sole proprietorship. As your company grows and you start to realize that you can make a permanent living from it, then it’s likely you’ll need to adjust its structure. You’re also going to need more people behind you.
Business succession planning should start 10 years in advance
Business succession planning is something that you certainly don’t want to put off. If you don’t start thinking about it until shortly before you’re planning to pass the business on, there could be a lot of complications. Things may not go as smoothly as you wish. This can be a major negative factor for the business and the person you’re
How many family businesses are successfully passed down?
With many family businesses, from small local stores to multimillion-dollar corporations, the goal is for the parents to pass the business on to their children. They want their family to run their own business after they have passed away, and it’s a major inheritance that they’re giving to ensure their children have an excellent standard of living moving forward. But
Best for the business vs. best for the family
When you’re doing your estate planning or business succession planning and trying to figure out what happens to the family business, you may want to leave the business to your children. If you have multiple children, your plan may be to split it up and give an equal portion to each one of them. Three children would split that business
Who will take control of your business when you retire?
Unfortunately, business succession is not a top concern for many business owners in Northeastern America. Owning a business is like raising a child—you never expect that your work will one day come to an end. Most people cannot work forever, even when that is their wish. Sooner or later, you must consider having someone take the reins when you decide
What if your child doesn’t want the family business?
Ever since you started your own business, you hoped it would be a business that stayed in the family. You imagined leaving it to your children or having them come work with you. You thought they could take over and run the business when you were done. However, you are now in your late sixties and you’re thinking about retiring.
How do you pick the right successor for your company?
Whether you inherited, purchased or started your company, you may derive personal pride and a sense of satisfaction from the company’s success. You likely also feel a sense of responsibility to the employees who have committed their professional futures to your business. If you want your business to continue even after you retire both to support those loyal workers and
Why do you need a succession plan for your company?
They say you are only as good as your last performance. When you run a business, that means that however great your reputation is now, it would not take much to lose it. All businesses need a succession plan regardless of size. You need to plan for the fact that you will not always be here.

Unpaid child support and tax refunds
Whether a parent is arrested or loses sleep at night because of significant anxiety, back child support can create all sorts of hardships for non-custodial parents and custodial parents alike. However, parents who have found themselves unable to make child support payments may also have their tax refunds intercepted in Boston, and cities across Massachusetts. According to the Internal Revenue Service, those who are behind on child support could have their federal tax refund intercepted by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
In addition to the interception of federal tax refunds, those with back child support may also have their state tax refunds reduced as well. The Department of Revenue reports that Massachusetts taxpayers with unpaid child support may have some of their state refund intercepted and allocated towards the child support they owe. Moreover, the state charges a $10 fee for these interceptions, taken directly out of tax refunds. Those who believe that the interception of their tax refund was invalid are able to file a Request for Review form, which needs to include proof that the state took out too much or the back child support was paid.
There are a wide variety of challenges a parent may face that prevent them from paying the child support they owe, including unanticipated medical problems, job loss and other financial difficulties. Unfortunately, failing to fulfill child support obligations can make life even tougher for parents who are going through this, which underlines the importance of addressing the situation right away. For some, child support modification is an excellent way to make payments more manageable.

Did you recently add a second comma to your bank balance? Has a recent financial event raised your net worth to the next level? It's an exciting time, whether it's the result of your long-term goals (e.g., from the sale of a business), a windfall transfer of wealth, or a key promotion. You're probably already considering how to protect and manage your wealth.
Keep in mind that this article is for informational purposes only and is not a replacement for real-life advice. Consult tax, legal, and accounting professionals before modifying your financial strategies as your income changes. This article was written to provide insights into a few related factors you may wish to consider.
Estate Strategy on a New Playing Field
You may already have an estate strategy in place. However, reaching a new level of wealth may be an excellent time to revisit your approach. More wealth can mean a larger estate and more complex estate issues. For example, it may be time to consider a living trust. You create a living trust while alive and fund it with the assets you choose to transfer therein. The trustee (typically you) has full power to manage these assets. But using a trust involves a complex set of tax rules and regulations. So before moving forward with a trust, consider working with a professional familiar with the relevant rules and regulations.
Pace Yourself
Many newly wealthy individuals feel like they are in a rush once they have their money. Now that the world is your oyster, you may be better off waiting for the pearl. This means getting accustomed to your new bank balance before putting the money to any practical effect. A few conversations with a financial professional regarding your ambitions may help put things into perspective.
What You Need Today
Your new wealth will create as many questions as it will opportunities. For example, if you've sold your business or are considering leaving your job, you will need to consider health insurance choices for yourself and your household. Other household demands may also warrant consideration, from travel costs to big one-time purchases. You will almost certainly face some unplanned expenses along the way, so be sure that your short-term budget makes an allowance for that.
Risk Tolerance and Time Horizon
Your risk tolerance will be affected in part by your ongoing day-to-day needs. For example, if you're considering buying a new home, money may need to be earmarked for all expenses related to that purchase. The risk takes into account not only the home itself but also your overall strategy. The time horizon determines the lengths of time considered for your various expenditures. Some unexpected expenses may happen within a few months, while others can be put off for up to a year.
Congratulations on that second comma becoming a part of your everyday life.

How to find the best handymen on Craigslist
Craigslist has a bit of a shady reputation when it comes to finding reliable handymen, but there’s no denying it can be an invaluable resource once you know how to screen out the junk. So, without further ado, here’s the tried and proven method we use to hone in on the cream of the Craigslist crop.
1.) Perhaps it goes without saying, but make sure you’re posting in the correct market location and the appropriate category. “General labor” is usually the best category for general handyman work, while the “skilled trade/artisan” category works well for finding licensed tradesmen such as plumbers, electricians, etc.
2.) Your post title should specify the specific type of vendor you are searching for. For example, “Plumber Wanted for Busy Real Estate Investing Company.”
3.) Specify the city and zip code where the work is to take place.
4.) The text of your ad is extremely important. It should convey professionalism (i.e. no typos) and provide specific instructions for prospects to follow. You want to hire someone who can read and follow instructions, so this serves as an effective pre-qualifying tool. The more information you ask for, and the more specific you are in your requests, the easier it is to eliminate time wasters and unqualified candidates. Here are a few suggestions for what to ask for:
Number of years of experience
Trade license (plumbing, electrical, etc.)
License number (if applicable)
Hourly labor rate
Does the handyman have his own vehicle?
Does he have his own tools?
Does he have a criminal history, and is he prepared to submit to a background check?
The text of your ad is extremely important. It should convey professionalism and provide specific instructions for prospects to follow. You want to hire someone who can read and follow instructions, so this serves as an effective pre-qualifying tool.
5.) Set compensation to “Varies based on experience.” For contact information, enter your email address and check the box for CL mail relay. Do not provide a phone number—you want to force prospects to respond in writing (by email) to see if they follow the instructions you provided in your ad.
6.) If you’re going to use the responses to pre-qualify prospects, then it is important to think about what you consider acceptable responses to each of your requests. For some questions (e.g. name, email address, cell phone number) there’s no right or wrong answer—you’re just looking for complete information. For other questions, you should be prepared to disqualify the prospect based on the substance of the response (e.g. you may not want to hire someone who does not have a vehicle and tools). There are not necessarily right and wrong answers to things like labor rate and experience, but the information is useful for comparing candidates. Finally, do not hesitate to eliminate prospects for ignoring a question.
7.) For each response to your ad, run through your pre-qualification checklist and add the qualified leads to a follow up list. After a week or so, you should have a good number of promising candidates, and from there you can start interviewing and inviting vendors out to give estimates.

Nuclear nostalgia and dangerous distractions
Most of us in Europe are back at work after a hot summer. In Northern Europe we have seen very high electricity prices, which is not a typical summer thing for us northerners. I am not going to discuss the reasons for this, others can do this better than me. Instead, I would like to focus on the discussion about nuclear energy we are having today. It is not only that it is stupid, but worse, it is a distraction from real solutions.
To put things in perspective: evidence and facts could take us far through better demand solutions, if we only took it to heart. The CEO of Energiforsk (a Swedish utility and power sector owned research institute) was interviewed in one of the leading Swedish newspapers. He concluded that their recent analyses of the EU power sector revealed that much of the extreme electricity prices would disappear with as little as five percent across-the-board energy efficiency improvements in the EU. I was surprised that so little could do so much.
Back to the nuclear nostalgia: I am personally agnostic about how fast we phase out the ones in operation today. But I see a sense of vindication in the nuclear debate: it was stupid to close them down and we would have more and cheaper electricity if we hadn’t. Maybe, but there is also a cost associated with keeping them. Besides, France has an electricity shortage this summer with high prices. They have many reactors but poor availability when they would be really needed. I am actually curious about what the nuclear debate looks like in France right now.
Let’s restart reactors, is another argument. Maybe possible in a few instances, but from what I can understand it is not that easy. And, we still buy a lot of nuclear fuel from Russia, let’s not forget this.
So let’s build new ones! Now we are getting seriously detached from reality. This week four Swedish parties toured the country in a pro-nuclear bus tour, promoting nuclear as a solution to high prices. It doesn’t exactly appear realistic. The Finnish Olkiluoto 3 should have started in in 2009 but came online this year (yes, it is 2022). The Energiforsk CEO claims in the interview referenced above that it is doubtful that owners ever will get their investments back. And in the UK, the Claverton Energy Research Group conclude that “Sizewell C is much more expensive and slower to build than proven and reliable alternative low carbon solutions”.
What about small modular reactors? Maybe they will work, maybe not. Even if it were a proven technology (no, it isn’t) I am not so sure I’d like to have them in my neighbourhood when I see what is happening to cities in Ukraine.
We know that there are better solutions. All no-regret low-carbon scenarios have energy efficiency at the core. The same is true for energy security. Efficiency makes the sustainable energy transition cheaper, safer, easier and quicker, so we really need to get started now with things that work.
I used to think that rational and sound economic arguments would prevail (you know, if something is cheaper and quicker rather than expensive and slower, then we would rather choose the cheaper and quicker solution). I am not so sure anymore, and the positive nuclear narrative we are seeing even in countries like Germany worries me. Not that I really think they will generate a lot of new reactors – but in the light of what is happening in Ukraine and what is happening with the climate, the nuclear nostalgia is a dangerous distraction. We simply don’t have time for this.

5G and Industry 4.0: revolutionising industry
5G and Industry 4.0 are set to transform the use of automation, boosting the throughput of warehouses and helping to create safer operations. Globalisation changed the way in which we understood business, and now industry will take that a step further with 5G and Industry 4.0, thanks to total interconnection between machines, goods, and people.
In this post, we’ll analyse the concept of 5G as well as the process to adapt to this technology and, above all, its benefits for industry.
What’s 5G? Definition and advantages
5G is the fifth generation for cellular communications, as per the International Telecommunication Union's IMT-2020 standard. It therefore constitutes an evolution of 4G, the technology currently used to transmit data between smartphones.
So, what differences are there between 5G and 4G? Mainly, data transfer speeds. According to the first rollouts from telecom companies such as Verizon, Vodafone (Europe), and EE (UK), 5G devices reach connection speeds 10 to 20 times as fast as those of 4G devices on the market today.
However, just as important as the increased speed is the reduced latency, that is, the time it takes to send a data packet across the network. What’s the purpose of 5G? To cut that down to an interval of 1-2 milliseconds — 90% less compared to 4G.
Thus, in Industry 4.0, 5G will optimise the flow of operations in the supply chain by connecting at maximum speed — and securely — the various industrial devices connected to the network.
How will 5G impact logistics?
Nowadays, when wiring isn’t an option, automated elements in the warehouse make use of WiFi or Bluetooth technology, which usually involves interference and unsecured connections between devices.
5G will help devices to send data over the internet quickly and without error, enhancing privacy and streamlining the exchange of information in the installation.
Additionally, 5G will revolutionise warehouse productivity, since decreased latency in connections between operators and automated elements will result in:
More cycles/hour: a faster network means mechanised components in the facility will work more efficiently.
Lower operating costs: the security of 5G will reduce mistakes in warehouse operations, allowing companies to cut unnecessary costs.
In installations employing voice picking or radiofrequency terminals, the reduced data latency will increase the number of picks per hour. This will lead to higher operator productivity and, in turn, to a larger profit for the company.
5G will add value to the management of goods in transit: the integration of all the components in the supply chain will make it possible to make critical decisions with more information, such as the selection of transportation routes in real time.
In fact, transportation will be one of the supply chain elements most affected by the emergence of 5G in Industry 4.0: from self-driving cars to drones, 5G opens up a whole world of possibilities in this area.
By 2025, there will be over 50,000 automated warehouses around the world
5G: welcome to the automation age
5G will definitely consolidate warehouse robotics. A study by consulting firm ABI Research concludes that automation will take off over the next decade, with a forecast of 50,000 automated warehouses by 2025 (there are currently 4,000 worldwide).
In total, it is anticipated that 4 million robots will be operating in the logistics sector in the next ten years. 5G will ensure the instantaneous and secure connection between all the elements that make up the warehouse.
In fact, objects already integrated in logistics processes these days such as robotic picking arms, stacker cranes, and RFID terminals will be made more effective, flexible, and secure by 5G.
Hence, the implementation of 5G technology represents two major improvements for industrial logistics:
Minimised occupational risks: thanks to higher data transfer speeds and lower latency, the application of 5G will see the consolidation of collaborative robots — cobots — in the warehouse, maximising operator safety.
Reduced logistics costs: the advantages of 5G will make it possible to create specialised teams that won’t have to move to the facility to control the machinery. And this will result in cost savings for businesses.
Big data: how do we leverage all of that information?
5G opens up a window of possibilities for communication between all the items that constitute the supply chain: the speed of 5G will strengthen connectivity in the installation, increasing the amount of data and information produced in each step along the supply chain.
The interconnection of all warehouse operations on a single powerful, secure network facilitates the integration of the various parts of the supply chain, guaranteeing full product traceability.
In the end, the arrival of this technology will consolidate the use of automation in facilities by means of reliable networks and low latency. This will boost the throughput of the mechanised elements in the warehouse and reduce errors in operations.
Through the appropriate tools, big data will enable logistics to anticipate market trends, detect errors in processes, introduce solutions in the supply chain, and, of course, to identify new business solutions for the future.
All that information created in the installation poses another challenge for Logistics 4.0: how to analyse the vast amount of data produced from the interconnection of all the components to optimise warehouse operating processes. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1409 | {"url": "https://www.mecalux.com/blog/5g-industry-4-0", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain":

Hyperautomation: technology calls the shots
Hyperautomation is a growing trend in Logistics 4.0. Having a hyperautomated supply chain involves, firstly, the complete digital transformation of logistics operations. Secondly, it means that artificial intelligence (AI) is responsible for making certain decisions that, up to now, were made by humans. The aim is to be more efficient in processes through technology and for people to intervene when they truly add value.
But what exactly is hyperautomation? And how does it affect logistics and the rest of the supply chain?
What’s hyperautomation?
The term hyperautomation was coined by consulting firm Gartner (known for its Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems, in which Mecalux appears as a leading WMS provider). Hyperautomation describes the sophistication of automation, geared towards moving beyond robotic process automation (RPA). The aim is to create fully autonomous systems capable of taking on much more demanding tasks, such as forecasting future scenarios and making complex decisions.
Hyperautomation — mentioned in the Gartner Top Strategic Technology Trends report as one of the top 10 technology trends — is based on the premise that any business process capable of being automated should be automated, with particular emphasis on digital processing of all types of structured and non-structured data.
Thanks to hyperautomation, it’s easier to drive forward the digitalisation of logistics. This strategy, which is being adopted across many businesses, consists of implementing new technologies in all areas of a company to improve its efficiency.
Difference between RPA and hyperautomation
Robotic process automation (RPA) constituted a decisive step towards the automation of tasks — especially administrative — in the business world. This discipline employs software robots to replicate and execute routine and repetitive tasks previously done by humans, such as extracting data; filling out forms; making calculations; copying, pasting, and renaming files; and creating directories and folders. Although they help significantly to streamline and carry out multiple procedures without error, it’s important to remember: these robots perform actions based on a series of predefined rules.
Hyperautomation is an evolution of RPA, since it raises the level of automation, creating flows in which the robots act autonomously. These aren’t limited to just carrying out following preset instructions; they’re also responsible for making different decisions, making it necessary to refine their analytical and predictive capacity.
Hyperautomation, therefore, is based on the integration of RPA with technologies such as AI (which enables digital machines to imitate human intelligence), machine learning (which allows machines to interpret external data and learn from them to make decisions), and big data (which makes it possible to process large volumes of structured and non-structured data).
Examples of hyperautomation in the supply chain
When implementing hyperautomation in the supply chain, it’s vital to have a system for collecting and digitising data in order to perform a given action completely autonomously, without human intervention. These are some examples of hyperautomation potentially applicable in the supply chain:
Back office: through resources such as optical character recognition (OCR) and text analysis, a robot could process documents to extract the relevant information from a customer order and automatically generate the corresponding picking order. Solutions like these are a real opportunity for speeding up and automating document and administrative management in the supply chain.
Demand planning: by collecting and comprehensively analysing data such as sales history and other relevant variables, a robot could be capable of predicting demand behaviour to anticipate, for example, undesirable situations such as a stockout. This enables the business to have an up-to-date inventory adjusted to its real needs, ensuring efficient, predictive, real-time control.
Order tracking and delivery: hyperautomation would make it possible, for instance, to provide customers with more accurate delivery times or inform them of expected delays. Hyperautomation could also improve the management of transportation fleets, taking into account updated traffic information.
Warehouse organisation: the digitisation of warehouse management automates and optimises tasks such as slotting (the assignment of locations to the goods). Using a set of predefined conditions (size, turnover, stock type, etc.), a warehouse management system such as Easy WMS from Mecalux can coordinate product slotting, making the best decision at any given time and contributing to efficient, error-free organisation.
Applied to the supply chain, hyperautomation fosters the integration of the latest technology to achieve increasingly higher levels of autonomy. The end goal is to increase efficiency in the different operations.
Digitisation of internal goods transportation is one of the processes involved in hyperautomation
Advantages of a hyperautomated supply chain
Companies that invest in hyperautomation could be equipped with an optimised supply chain available 24/7 and that anticipates customer needs. Detecting possible unexpected changes in advance and being able to react in time thanks to predictive analytics makes the supply chain highly efficient.
The use of highly advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning makes it possible to identify patterns, opportunities, and incidents through big data analysis. With hyperautomation, employees can focus on other operations that add more value and that aren’t so repetitive. They can also control the decisions suggested by the technology.
At the same time, hyperautomation is an excellent tool for minimising mistakes and operating costs. Businesses can say goodbye to costly errors, such as lack of goods organisation, out-of-date inventory, procurement imbalances, and inefficient information exchange. Moreover, hyperautomation encourages the responsible and sustainable use of supply chain resources to lessen the environmental impact.
In short, hyperautomation in logistics keeps companies competitive by streamlining processes, eliminating errors, and reducing costs.
Digital management of order deliveries is also part of the hyperautomation process
Decisive robots in an efficient supply chain
Hyperautomation is ushering in a new era in the digital transformation of logistics. The trend is to promote process digitisation and, in turn, to automate everything that can be automated, even delegating certain decisions to technology. The objective? To ramp up productivity and cut costs. In addition, hyperautomation enhances flexibility and scalability so that any company can adapt to different scenarios.

Frenemies: The Epic Disruption of the Ad Business and Everything Else
Ken Auletta
ANA InSites
In a 1970 TV commercial, a group of child actors portraying Louie Armstrong, Fiorello LaGuardia and Barney Pressman as kids are sitting on a New York City stoop and asking each other what they hope to be one day. Armstrong says he wants to be a musician. LaGuardia says he wants to be Mayor of New York. The bespectacled Barney Pressman is quiet, so they prod him: “Whaddaya gonna be when you grow up, Barney?” Pausing to adjust his glasses, the future founder of Barney’s says, “I don’t know.

Why should you watch football games live on the internet?
Sports fans should be very thankful to the tech-geeks as their research work and efforts have created so many different means for us to watch top sports events, including football, happening anywhere in the world. Considering the number of services and applications available to watch live football games online, all you need is a compatible device and Internet connectivity to stay connected to any football match.
You can watch these live streams on your tablet PC, smartphone, laptop, desktop, video game console or even television. What more, if you prefer to watching football on the phone, you could also indulge in a wide range of free online football games during breaks! After all, major games tend to come with seemingly endless commercial breaks and, let’s be honest, in less eventful games there can be just a bit too much commentary and not enough playing. That’s what makes these quick and easy football games such a godsend. They’re more than fun enough to tide you over during downtime between plays but are so quick and easy to pick up that they won’t get in the way of the main event.
Let’s now take you over some very good reasons why watching football games live on the Internet makes a lot of sense.
You can watch any game, happening in any part of the world
The biggest advantage of all these technological advancements is accessibility. Most of these services and applications offer you instant access to sports events that you would have never been able to watch otherwise.
It’s a well-known fact that not every football game is broadcasted in every part of the world. However, when you sign up with the right streaming services, you get to watch every second of football action, even if it’s not being broadcasted in your state/country. However, if you’re too busy to find time for these football matches, for instance, the upcoming FIFA World Cup, you could always stay updated at news websites like this one.
Watch from anywhere
As the streaming services make it possible to watch football matches on your mobile devices, you need not necessarily be in an entertainment centre or your living room, in front of a television, to catch the action. As also mentioned earlier, all you require is a compatible device (capable of using the streaming service) and a working Internet connection. Just those two and you’re good!
Free of cost or inexpensive
In most cases, as long as you pay for the Internet service, you can watch a good number of these football games for free. This is much better than travelling to the stadiums and then having to buy tickets. In some cases, the streaming service might ask you to cough up a small fee each month. This charge is normally very reasonable.
Not complicated at all
To watch football games on the Internet, it’s not important that you have to be computer-savvy. As long as you know how to switch on a computer/mobile device and connect to the Internet, you’re sorted. Just visit the webpage featuring the live football event and locate the particular event. The list of football events offered on that website would normally be very long (for example, English Premier League, Italian Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, Champions League etc.), but you can use the available search tools to locate your particular match.
You can also search based on the type of program (sports, movies, news etc.), country and language. Once you find the channel that the event is playing on, just click on it and you’d be connected. It is just like any other web page having an embedded video player.
Never miss any football action
Live stream football matches are completely different than pre-recorded versions. You see every second of the action as it happens on the field. There are usually no disturbing ads or editing involved.

15 Unique Facts About Fingerprints
By Kate Horowitz
They've been with you since before you were born, but how much do you really know about the lines and ridges on your fingers, palms, and feet?
1. THEY’RE THE RESULT OF A STRUGGLE.
Human skin has several layers, and each layer has sub-layers. A developing fetus is constantly straining and stretching these layers, which can snag on each other. Scientists believe fingerprints form when the bottom layer of the epidermis grows at a different rate than the rest of the skin, causing it to buckle and tug on the dermis. Your fingerprints are made up of several skin layers twisted together [PDF], kind of like a soft-serve swirl.
2. BEFORE FINGERPRINTS, THERE WERE BONE MEASUREMENTS.

Alphonse Bertillon was a French policeman and researcher who capitalized on the fact that each person’s body proportions are different. He developed a way of using photographs to measure a person’s unique dimensions—a technique that’s still reflected in jailhouse mug shots. The Bertillon System, as it came to be known, was adopted by law enforcement agencies in Europe and North America and used for three decades.
3. SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN WITHOUT THEM.
Three genetic conditions can prevent fingerprints from forming: Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJS), Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR), and adermatoglyphia. NFJS and DPR cause a range of symptoms, most much worse than smooth fingers. Adermatoglyphia, on the other hand, has just one indicator: no fingerprints. It’s sometimes referred to as “immigration delay disease,” for the trouble it causes people trying to cross borders.
4. THEY KILLED THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
In 1901, a man named William West began a life sentence in the Leavenworth, Kansas, penitentiary for murder. His Bertillon measurements were taken and dutifully cataloged. Two years later, Will West entered Leavenworth. When asked if he’d been there before, he said no, but the clerk took his measurements and photograph and found that they were an exact match for the man listed as William West who was currently in the prison. Befuddled, the clerk compared Will’s fingerprints with William's and found that, indeed, they were two completely different men. The story is still a matter of debate—some think the men might have been twins—but it soon became folklore among forensic scientists, illustrating not only the advantages of fingerprinting but the fatal flaws that would lead to the abandonment of the Bertillon system.
5. FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS IS FALLIBLE.

When examining fingerprints, experts attempt to match as many points of comparison as possible, but there’s no minimum for a match, at least not in the United States. Other countries have set standards for what constitutes a positive identification, but not us. On top of that, there’s an inevitable element of human error. A 2011 study [PDF] found a false positive rate of 0.1 percent. That may not sound like much until you realize that 0.1 percent of the FBI’s annual fingerprint intake is 60,000 people, or 60,000 potential false positive IDs.
6. KOALAS HAVE THEM, TOO.

So far, we’re aware of only a few non-human animals with unique fingerprints, such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and koalas. Given apes’ and koalas’ arboreal lifestyles, scientists suspect fingerprints evolved as a consequence of living in trees. The fingerprints of koalas are so similar to humans’ that even experts have trouble telling them apart. We haven’t heard of anyone blaming their misdeeds on a koala yet, but it’s probably just a matter of time.
7. FINGERPRINTS ARE INCREDIBLY DURABLE …

Even in death, our fingerprints stick around, which makes them very helpful in identifying bodies. Or fingers, in the case of Hans Galassi. After losing a few fingers in an accident on the water, the wakeboarder figured they were gone for good. Then a human finger turned up in the belly of a trout and, sure enough, it was one of Galassi’s. “If a hand is found in water you will see that the epidermis starts to come away from the dermis like a glove,” fingerprint expert Allen Bayle told the BBC. “This sounds gruesome, but if a hand has been badly damaged, I cut the epidermis off and put my own hand inside that glove and try to fingerprint it like that.” (Once the severed finger had been identified, it was offered to Mr. Galassi, who declined to take it back.)
8. … BUT YOU CAN LOSE THEM …
Rough tactile work like bricklaying and chemotherapy drugs like capecitabine can erode and even erase fingerprints. “Just a good case of poison ivy would do it," forensics expert Edward Richards said in Scientific American. Don’t get too worried: "Left alone,” he said, “your skin replaces at a fairly good rate, so unless you've done permanent damage to the tissue, it will regenerate."
9. … ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE DETERMINED.
By the 1930s, fingerprint analysis was standard practice in U.S. law enforcement, and criminals had begun intentionally trying to remove their fingerprints. As you might imagine, the results were grisly and mixed. Some tried to file off their prints, while others attempted to cut them out. Notorious gangster John Dillinger burnt his own prints off with acid, a hardcore decision that kind of worked. (His fingerprints were never used against him, but after his death the faint traces of his former ridges and whorls could still be seen.) Robber Robert Phillips talked a doctor into grafting skin from his chest onto his fingertips. Unfortunately for him, he neglected to remove the prints on his palms.
10. FINGERPRINT SENSORS MIGHT WORK FOR YOUR PETS, TOO.

Apple created quite a buzz in 2013 when it introduced a fingerprint-coded screen lock with the iPhone 5s. Some of that buzz soon focused on cats, however, after a TechCrunch writer “commandeer[ed] a cat” and used its toe pad to create a new profile. “The cat’s paw worked,” he wrote, “and while it encountered more frequent failures than did a fingerprint, it was able to unlock the phone again repeatedly when positioned correctly on the sensor.”
11. MARK TWAIN ANTICIPATED THE VALUE OF FINGERPRINT EVIDENCE.
Two of the author’s books, Life on the Mississippi and Pudd’n Head Wilson, feature the use of fingerprints to nab criminals. Twain’s focus on fingerprinting was incredibly prescient; the books were published in 1883 and 1893, respectively, but U.S. officials wouldn’t implement fingerprinting practices here until the early 20th century.
12. WORLD WAR II SAW A BOOM IN FINGERPRINT COLLECTION.
Wartime vigilance meant that the FBI was collecting more prints than ever before, from soldiers, foreign agents, and military suppliers, as well as draft dodgers and potential spies. By 1943, the collection included more than 70 million prints. To manage the explosion of information, the agency moved to a big warehouse (nicknamed the “Fingerprint Factory”) and hired and trained thousands of women to sort prints 10 hours a day, six days a week.
13. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CASES OF MASS FINGERPRINTING.
In desperate times, British police have resorted to desperate measures. The shocking murder of a three-year-old girl in 1948 inspired officials to demand prints from more than 40,000 local men. Even with all those prints, they failed to find a match—until they tracked down the 200 men who had failed to produce prints. Among them, they found their culprit. Since then, despite protestations from Britain’s National Council for Civil Liberties, the police have conducted several mass print collections, several of which were successful.
That sort of thing doesn’t go over too well in the United States, but it has been done. The Fourth Amendment restricts the use of fingerprint collection to “reasonable” identification of persons of interest in criminal cases. Law enforcement officers could get around this if they chose, but it wouldn’t be a popular move.
14. THE FBI STORES EVERYBODY’S PRINTS TOGETHER.
If you’ve ever applied for a teaching job, the police force, or any government position, the FBI has your fingerprints—and they’re treating them like a criminal’s. In 2015, the agency announced that they were melding their criminal and civil fingerprint databases. They also decided to make all files searchable for potential culprits.
15. THE MICROBIOME IS THE NEW FINGERPRINT.
Like the whorls and loops of your fingerprints, the tiny ecosystems in and on your body are yours and yours alone. The collective DNA of the bacteria, fungi, and viruses that make up your microbiome is a huge repository of information about your health, environment, diet, and genetics—and it’s completely unique. Forensic scientists are currently exploring the possibility of using microbiomes for identification, and testimony based on microbial forensic techniques has already been admitted in some U.S. courts.

Both parties address infrastructure funding — poorly
August 15, 2016 • James Blue • Bookmark +

I wrote last time that, once again, everyone agrees that funding for infrastructure must be increased but disagree on how to pay for it. Since then, both major U.S. political parties’ platforms have been voted on in this presidential election year, and they were true to the previous pattern, but could not be more different this time.
Not really Trump’s party on transit
To his credit, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vows to rebuild America’s crumbling roads, railways and airports, decrying their second-class status against the world’s top economies. His party, however, just voted to end federal involvement in public transportation assistance, citing it as an “unproductive” investment. This was the proposal of the most extreme faction of the House Republican Conference that was rejected several times before. If anything, the platform has doubled down on this throwback position.
“The public transportation industry is currently underfunded,” said the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) Acting President/CEO Richard A. White in a statement opposing the GOP’s plan. “Having no federal funds would be devastating, not only to the millions of Americans who use public transportation and to the employers who depend on it for their employees, but also for communities of all sizes that need it for a thriving economy and quality of life.”
Democrats almost as fanciful
On the other hand, the Democratic platform could not be more diametrically opposed. Both Democratic nominee and the platform call for substantially increased federal funding in infrastructure, including public transportation and intercity passenger rail. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign released an infrastructure plan nearly a year ago, proposing $250 billion in federal investment, as well as an additional $25 billion to capitalize an infrastructure bank. While the platform doesn’t specify those amounts, it commits to increasing public and private mass transit investments, which is where the platform comes up short.
There is no mention of how to pay for the commitments, and given the voting records of the three on the opposing presidential tickets who have served in Congress, the chances of making the Highway Trust Fund solvent, which would be the primary means of funding these investments, remains slim. And, because of that lack of long-term, sustainable commitment, businesses and agencies cannot plan, which undermines the job creation that Democrats seek in their platform. However, the Democratic platform’s lack of funding commitment is a far cry better than the Republicans’ call for a disinvestment that looks more like their platform of the 1920s than one that will take them through to 2020.
Engagement and education needed
To their credit, APTA Business Members hosted receptions at both the Republican and Democratic Conventions this past July. Given the inadequacies of the one platform, and the utter contempt for public transportation in the other, similar outreach efforts will have to be repeated many times in the coming months.

Real estate professionals get that consumers, by and large, ignore housing statistics and the market until they become involved in the purchase or sale of a home. It's only natural then that what impacts the market is a bit of a mystery to many. What determines a buyers' or sellers' market? What factors influence home prices?
Of course the answers to these questions and more may be multi-faceted, but it's important to pay attention to them if you hope to keep more of your money when it's time to buy or sell real estate.
Believe it or not, even in what seems like the gloomiest of real estate markets, there will be a glimmer of light for some.
Pay Attention to Interest Rates
It certainly is no secret that obtaining a lower interest rate for a mortgage typically allows for a lower payment. Naturally then, low interest rates make home-buying an attractive venture—and, even whispers of a rate hike can spur folks to get out into the market.
For instance, by the end of 2015, the U.S. saw 5.26 million home sales, which was the most robust housing market since 2006. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), attributed the robust market, in part, to the mere “prospect of higher mortgage rates in coming months.”
And, rise they did, throughout the following year. In fact, late in 2016, mortgage interest rates rose eight times in nine weeks, according to bankrate.com. Sounds rather gloomy until one recognizes that, post-hike, rates were still at historic lows.
The bottom line is that if you're in the market for a home and interest rates decrease or remain attractively low, it's time to get excited about the housing market.
The current economy is a key factor affecting the real estate market. “Broadly speaking, when the economy is sluggish, so is real estate,” claims Joseph Nguyen at Investopedia. Rather than look at the glass half-full, however, we choose to take the opposite tack—when the economy is humming along, the housing market is at its most attractive.
When job growth is robust, consumer confidence rises and we're more apt to spend money on high-ticket items, such as cars, appliances, vacations and, yes, homes.
Exciting Markets for Sellers
There's an old saying in the real estate industry that counsels homeowners that the best time to sell a home is when you need to sell your home. Yes, we understand that isn't very helpful. If you're one of the fortunate who has no compelling reason to sell (such as a job offer in a different town or divorce), you have the luxury of choosing when to put the home on the market.
Get excited if real estate professionals mention the words “sellers' market.” This is a period in which there are few homes for sale but buyer demand is high. During sellers' markets prices typically increase rapidly and homes sell at or above list price.
One of the biggest mistakes we see in sellers' markets is the homeowner who feels that the market itself will bring top dollar for the home, regardless of condition. Be aware that it's the homes in good condition that sell the quickest and for the most amount of money. Regardless if market conditions favor sellers, if your home isn't in move-in condition, it may be passed over by home buyers.
Buying a Home This Year?
A buyers' market—when there is a large selection of homes for sale and few other buyers in the market—is a great time to purchase a home. Unlike a sellers' market, prices aren't rapidly escalating and you won't be competing against a slew of other buyers. These markets are more relaxed so homebuyers can take their time deciding.
In a sellers' market, however, it's more important than ever to have all your ducks in a row before making an offer on a property. Ensure you know exactly how much you can spend and that you've obtained a preapproval letter from your lender. Make your offer stand out from others by keeping it lean and mean, with the shortest time periods for contingencies as possible. Finally, come in with your highest and best offer. A sellers' market moves too quickly to assume the homeowner will negotiate over price.
While the type of market may determine when to jump in, as mentioned earlier, interest rates can also cause excitement in the housing market. Low rates and relaxed lending guidelines, such as we saw in 2015 and 2016, presented a prime opportunity for many would-be buyers who previously couldn't afford to purchase.
Lower mortgage rates mean a lower monthly payment, which means you have more purchasing power, and that additional power can "mean the difference between buying a 2-bedroom home versus a 3-bedroom one; between buying a home with large closets versus small closets; and, between buying an upgraded home versus a dated one," according to Dan Green at The Mortgage Reports.
Regardless of the media's perception of the housing market, there is always a mix of good and bad news, depending on whether you are in the market to buy or to sell. Arm yourself with a professional real estate agent who can supply you with current and local market information (too often what you read in the news is stale and based on nationwide statistics), follow his or her advice and buying or selling a home in any market will be an exciting process. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1419 | {"url": "https://www.mid-hudsonhomes.com/blog/when-to-get-excited-about-the-housing-market/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.mid-hudsonhomes.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:40:01Z", "digest": "sha1:UOCO7PAAOOFXDOXF6BEB7MIDN5FE7FHW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5250, 5250.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5250, 6052.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5250, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5250, 56.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5250, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5250, 246.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5250, 0.43801653]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5250, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5250, 0.01667064]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5250, 0.01524172]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5250, 0.00550964]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5250, 0.14508724]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5250, 0.42888644]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5250, 4.62954796]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5250, 5.31524718]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5250, 907.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 328, 1.0], [328, 526, 1.0], [526, 650, 1.0], [650, 682, 0.0], [682, 949, 1.0], [949, 1258, 1.0], [1258, 1509, 1.0], [1509, 1675, 1.0], [1675, 2019, 1.0], [2019, 2181, 1.0], [2181, 2210, 0.0], [2210, 2589, 1.0], [2589, 2845, 1.0], [2845, 3241, 1.0], [3241, 3266, 1.0], [3266, 3597, 1.0], [3597, 4106, 1.0], [4106, 4422, 1.0], [4422, 4793, 1.0], [4793, 5250, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 328, 0.0], [328, 526, 0.0], [526, 650, 0.0], [650, 682, 0.0], [682, 949, 0.0], [949, 1258, 0.0], [1258, 1509, 0.0], [1509, 1675, 0.0], [1675, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2181, 0.0], [2181, 2210, 0.0], [2210, 2589, 0.0], [2589, 2845, 0.0], [2845, 3241, 0.0], [3241, 3266, 0.0], [3266, 3597, 0.0], [3597, 4106, 0.0], [4106, 4422, 0.0], [4422, 4793, 0.0], [4793, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 328, 56.0], [328, 526, 38.0], [526, 650, 24.0], [650, 682, 5.0], [682, 949, 45.0], [949, 1258, 51.0], [1258, 1509, 39.0], [1509, 1675, 30.0], [1675, 2019, 56.0], [2019, 2181, 26.0], [2181, 2210, 4.0], [2210, 2589, 73.0], [2589, 2845, 43.0], [2845, 3241, 70.0], [3241, 3266, 5.0], [3266, 3597, 57.0], [3597, 4106, 89.0], [4106, 4422, 52.0], [4422, 4793, 60.0], [4793, 5250, 84.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 328, 0.0], [328, 526, 0.0], [526, 650, 0.0], [650, 682, 0.0], [682, 949, 0.0], [949, 1258, 0.03741497], [1258, 1509, 0.01680672], [1509, 1675, 0.0], [1675, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2181, 0.0], [2181, 2210, 0.0], [2210, 2589, 0.0], [2589, 2845, 0.0], [2845, 3241, 0.0], [3241, 3266, 0.0], [3266, 3597, 0.0], [3597, 4106, 0.0], [4106, 4422, 0.02605863], [4422, 4793, 0.00557103], [4793, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 328, 0.0], [328, 526, 0.0], [526, 650, 0.0], [650, 682, 0.0], [682, 949, 0.0], [949, 1258, 0.0], [1258, 1509, 0.0], [1509, 1675, 0.0], [1675, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2181, 0.0], [2181, 2210, 0.0], [2210, 2589, 0.0], [2589, 2845, 0.0], [2845, 3241, 0.0], [3241, 3266, 0.0], [3266, 3597, 0.0], [3597, 4106, 0.0], [4106, 4422, 0.0], [4422, 4793, 0.0], [4793, 5250, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 328, 0.01219512], [328, 526, 0.00505051], [526, 650, 0.00806452], [650, 682, 0.125], [682, 949, 0.00749064], [949, 1258, 0.05825243], [1258, 1509, 0.01195219], [1509, 1675, 0.0060241], [1675, 2019, 0.01744186], [2019, 2181, 0.00617284], [2181, 2210, 0.10344828], [2210, 2589, 0.00791557], [2589, 2845, 0.01171875], [2845, 3241, 0.00757576], [3241, 3266, 0.16], [3266, 3597, 0.00906344], [3597, 4106, 0.00982318], [4106, 4422, 0.00632911], [4422, 4793, 0.01617251], [4793, 5250, 0.00437637]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5250, 0.45235062]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5250, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5250, 0.02387983]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5250, -150.10233703]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5250, 59.67430508]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5250, -226.05530237]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5250, 45.0]]} |

Davy Jones' Kitchen
USS Bataan (LHD 5) - At Sea
Though the scene might be similar on an average day in the galley, this particular evening aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan the Combat Cooking Competition took over April 20. “This competition gives them an ability to show their skill sets and do something different,” said Chief Warrant Officer Donnie Townsend, the ship’s food services officer. “It’s easy to get caught up in doing the same thing every day out here for them. It was good to shock them and show them a situation where they don’t know what to expect.” Three teams of three were a mix of Sailors and Marines of the Bataan’s culinary specialists and the embarked 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit food service specialists. Each member volunteered to be a part of the event and test their talent in a public forum. “They asked who wanted to do it and we all just raised our hands,” said Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Christine Stenger. “They sorted us into teams with at least one senior cook so it would be balanced.” The competition had three rounds: appetizers, entrees, and desserts respectively. Each team was given a box of mystery ingredients to be used in each round along with whatever they had available in the galley. “It was great to have the open pantry and use the walk-in freezer,” said Stenger. “A lot of the ingredients in the boxes were difficult to include in every plate without the added variety.” Creativity would be key for the victors, as the mystery ingredients ranged from brussel sprouts and scallops to jars of cherries and cucumbers. As facilitators counted down the time the cooks rush to plate their dishes. Sweat glistens on their foreheads while they ran the food out of the galley and through the crowd gathered on the mess decks. Finally contestants look on as the judges sample their dishes. Watching their reactions to each bite and waiting for the moment of truth. In the end only one team would win. “Of course there can only be one winner, but I think they all did really well with the stuff they had to work with,” said Townsend. “The crowd got really big as the competition went on. I think we’ll definitely be doing more of these in the future.” The winners walked away with a day off work during the ship’s next port visit and bragging rights until the next competition. The Bataan its ready group are deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of maritime security operations designed to reassure allies and partners, and preserve the freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce in the region.

Happiness: Quotes from the Experts
Posted on September 30, 2016 by Ros Johnson
I use the term happiness to refer to the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one’s life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile. Sonja Lyubomirsky, The How of Happiness, on finding happiness
Finding happiness is a preoccupation for many. The following quotes from various authors and experts may help point you in the right direction.
Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis: Happiness is not something that you can find, acquire, or achieve directly. You have to get the conditions right and then wait. Some of those conditions are within you, such as coherence among the parts and levels of your personality. Other conditions require relationships to things beyond you: Just as plants need sun, water, and good soil to thrive, people need love, work, and a connection to something larger. It is worth striving to get the right relationships between yourself and others, between yourself and your work, and between yourself and something larger than yourself. If you get these relationships right, a sense of purpose and meaning will emerge.
Matthieu Ricard, Happiness: Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.
Sonja Lyubomirsky, The How of Happiness: If we observe genuinely happy people, we shall find that they do not just sit around being contented. They make things happen. They pursue new understandings, seek new achievements, and control their thoughts and feelings. In sum, our intentional, effortful activities have a powerful effect on how happy we are, over and above the effects of our set points and the circumstances in which we find themselves. If an unhappy person wants to experience interest, enthusiasm, contentment, peace, and joy, he or she can make it happen by learning the habits of a happy person.
Raj Raghunathan, author of If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Happy? in an interview with Joe Pinsker, The Atlantic: On the one hand, we are hard-wired to focus more on negative things. But at the same time, we are also all hard-wired to be seeking a sense of happiness and the desire to flourish, and to be the best we can be. Ultimately, what we need in order to be happy is at some level pretty simple. It requires doing something that you find meaningful, that you can kind of get lost in on a daily basis.
Paul Dolan, Happiness By Design: Change what you do, not how you think. You are what you do, your happiness is what you attend to, and you should attend to what makes you and those whom you care about happy.
Brené Brown: I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness–it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.
David Steindl-Rast, Music of Silence: Look closely and you will find that people are happy because they are grateful. The opposite of gratefulness is just taking everything for granted.
Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project: The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It’s more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly lighthearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.
Sonja Lyubomirsky, The How of Happiness: To be sure, most of us do become happier at some point during our lives. Indeed, contrary to popular belief, people actually get happier with age.
Daniel M. Gilbert, Stumbling on Happiness: We are happy when we have family, we are happy when we have friends and almost all the other things we think make us happy are actually just ways of getting more family and friends.

MÉTIS NATION OF ONTARIO INFORMATION BULLETIN
MNO Early Learning and Childcare Community Engagement Sessions in 2021
The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is conducting research and engagements to inform the future of early learning and childcare (ELCC) for Métis families across the province. The goal of this initiative is to provide MNO with information to enhance their understating of MNO Citizens’ needs as they relate to ELCC and of current trends in childcare across Ontario.
As part of this initiative, DPRA Canada has been hired by MNO to support two forms of engagement -- virtual town hall sessions and an online survey. The engagements will include MNO Regional and Community Council leadership, Métis parents and families, and MNO Citizens.
Information will be collected on the accessibility of services, desired services, and challenges and opportunities for providing services. Findings will help inform ELCC initiatives that MNO seeks to implement.
Virtual Town Hall Session:
We would like to invite Métis parents and families, and MNO Citizens to participate in a virtual town hall session using Zoom video conferencing (please see list of Session Dates below).
We ask that you confirm your intent to participate at least 3 days prior to the session date that you plan to attend at this site:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MNO_ELCC_Registration
Once on the SurveyMonkey site, you will be asked to provide your name and email address and to select the date you will be participating. After you have registered you will receive an email with further information on how to participate in the Zoom meeting.
Session Dates:

Drummers, On the Beat
Drummer/Educator Sam Ruttenberg
As a newly hired faculty member at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, I thought it would be interesting to convey to the reader how I got here. The answer is to practice, diversify, and never stop learning.
The way I came up in the music business is the same as most others; I practiced hard and tried to play in as many different situations as I could. I learned as many instruments in the percussion family as possible, and got with the best teachers available. If you’re going to last in this business, you have to be ready for any situation when it arrives, or else you won’t be asked to come back. Being prepared is essential.
When you’re called for a gig, get the music ahead of time if you can. Listen to the music before you get to rehearsal because many times you’ll only have that one rehearsal to get comfortable. And many times you’ll only have one performance, so you’ll have only one chance to get it right the first time. Another essential thing I’ve learned is to write notes on the charts while you’re at rehearsal. If you get called for a gig where no written music is required, know the tunes and style you’ll be playing.
You should also learn music theory, which means understanding chord types, chord progressions, melody, and harmony. Learn how to write rhythms, and learn to sight read. If you can read something down the first time, and make it sound like you’ve been playing it for years, you’ll be way ahead of the curve. People who hire musicians often don’t want to play something many times over until you get it, so being able to sight read is a big advantage.
Along the way I discovered that I was also a good private drum teacher, and I’ve been fortunate to have taught some of the best players on the scene today. Teaching at this level has made me a better player because I learn from my students, and I have to be on top of my game at all times. I even wrote a drumset duet to challenge myself as well as my students.
You can download the chart and demo mp3 of the duet below.

Along the way, I developed a teaching tool to help drummers, which was recently picked up by a major percussion company, so creativity and tenacity are also very important if you’re going to try to make a career in the music business. Another great tip is to get along with your fellow professionals. Smile, be pleasant to work with, and be willing to help your colleagues. By doing so, they will want to help you in return.
The bottom line is you never know how your drumming career will play out. Opportunities are there for those who work hard and for those who think creatively. The end result may not be what you expected, but success will come if you keep at it. This is a lifelong journey, so embrace it and always keep learning. That’s what life is all about.

About Marble Freedom Trust
Nonprofit Run by Leonard Leo and Recipient of What Appears to be the Largest Single Donation to a Politically-Oriented Nonprofit in American History
The unprecedented single-gift contribution was likely the largest donation of its kind to a politically-oriented nonprofit in American history, and according to an analysis by the New York Times, it is “more than the total of $1.5 billion spent in 2020 by 15 of the most politically active nonprofit organizations that generally align with Democrats.” Marble Freedom Trust was formed in 2020 and has contributed over $200 million to right-wing causes in the last two years, including $16.5 million to the Judicial Crisis Network’s effort to put far-right judges on the federal courts. Other notable payments from Marble Freedom’s Trust include:
$153 million to Rule of Law Trust, a shadowy nonprofit with no public presence, that lists Leo as its sole employee.
$41 million to Donors Trust, one of the most influential conservative organizations in contemporary American politics. In 2013, Mother Jones dubbed Donors Trust the “dark-money ATM of the right.”
$1.6 Billion Contribution
Billionaire Barre Seid contributed $1.6 billion to Marble Freedom Trust by transferring 100 percent of the shares in his company, Tripp Lite, to the nonprofit in 2021. Tripp Lite was Seid’s Chicago-based electrical device manufacturing company and upon transfer of ownership to Marble Freedom Trust, the company was sold to Eaton, a publicly-traded Irish conglomerate (NYSE:ETN). Marble Freedom Trust’s 990 indicated that the $1.6 billion came from the “sale of gifted company and subsidiaries,” but withheld identifying information “to protect donor confidentiality.”
In January 2021, Eaton announced that it would pay $1.65 billion to acquire Tripp Lite. As ProPublica reports, the next month Tripp Lite filed its Illinois state annual reports with Barre Seid’s name crossed out and replaced with Leonard Leo’s. According to disclosure filings, a Tripp Lite subsidiary in Canada “similarly removed Seid as a director and added Leo as a director in March 2021.” The New York Times reports that a “person with knowledge of the matter” said that the Tripp Lite shares were donated to Marble “months before the deal with Eaton was announced in January 2021.” The deal closed in March 2021. Marble Freedom Trust was not mentioned in any announcement by Eaton, and the “structure of the donation allowed Seid to avoid as much as $400 million in taxes” in the sale, all of which will go to Leo’s Marble Freedom Trust entity.
Leonard Leo, Trustee and Chairman
Leonard Leo’s position of Trustee and Chairman places him at the helm of the Marble Freedom Trust. Leonard Leo was “widely known as a confidant to Trump” and served as Trump’s Supreme Court Advisor during the nominations of Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch.
Leo has been called “arguably the most powerful figure in the federal justice system” with his “network of interlocking nonprofits” that aggressively support conservative judges.
One of these nonprofits is the Federalist Society, which cultivates conservative judicial nominees in his fight to take over the courts.
This shadow empire has allowed Leo to meet and “cultivate almost every important Republican lawyer in more than a generation.”
Leo operates a series of nonprofits that can move money without public scrutiny, such as the 85 Fund, the BH Fund, America Engaged, and the Freedom and Opportunity Fund.
Leo’s network executed successful advocacy campaigns to appoint and confirm John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court—as well as block Merrick Garland from the Court.
During the nomination process for Trump nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Leo assured a group of top Koch network donors that it was “just the beginning of an even bigger effort to load up the federal judiciary with conservative judges.”
Leo has personal and professional ties to Justice Clarence Thomas, who is an original faculty member of the Federalist Society and frequent speaker at the organization’s events.
Thomas has hired Leo’s PR firm CRC Advisors to promote his memoir and a documentary about Thomas.
The Washington Post reports that Leo and Clarence Thomas have been close friends since meeting in the 1990s.
Thomas is the godfather to one of Leo’s children, and has spent time vacationing at Leo’s New England home.
During the George H.W. Bush administration, Leo delayed his start at the Federalist Society to help get Thomas confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Jonathan Bunch, Successor Trustee
Jonathan Bunch is a former senior vice president at the Federalist Society who has been described as Leo’s “right-hand man,” and is listed as the “successor trustee” for the Marble Freedom Trust. Bunch has been involved in several Leo-linked entities and is currently the president of CRC Advisors, a public relations consulting firm Leo founded in 2020.
The Rule of Law Trust, another Leo-linked group, paid Bunch $1.5 million in consulting fees in 2018 —- RLT’s largest single payment that year.
From 2007 to 2008, Jonathan Bunch was the executive director of “Better Courts for Missouri,” a nonprofit organization that aimed to fundamentally alter the state’s merit-based judicial nomination process.
Better Courts sought to replace Missouri’s selection method for state appeals courts judges — called the Missouri Plan — where the governor appointed a nominee from a list curated by special judicial nominating committees. JCN proposed an inherently partisan system that would give the governor power to nominate any individual to the commission, subject to Senate confirmation. The group also spearheaded a ballot measure to allow the governor to appoint a majority of the members of the commission.
The Missouri Bar Association and the judiciary overwhelmingly supported keeping the state’s existing judicial selection system, contending that “the process diminishes the politics behind selections.”
Critics of Bunch’s group called their proposal “a GOP power grab” to give the governor more power as “the state is getting redder and redder.” The president of the Missouri Bar said Better Courts’ proposal would “make partisan politics the heart and soul” of selecting judges.
Better Courts’ strategy reflects the Leo network’s typical playbook at the state level. In Iowa, the Judicial Crisis Network financed a 2018 campaign that advocated for giving partisan legislators the power to select members of judicial nomination commission, “meaning politicians will choose every member.”
Iowa’s existing system — where half of the commissioners were selected by the governor and half were elected by licensed lawyers — was meant to “emphasize legal experience while keeping politics at arm’s length.”
JCN claimed that under the existing Missouri Plan “liberal trial lawyers” had the “power to pick our judges,” but the new selection method they promoted “immediately allow[ed] Republicans to pick more of the Iowans who will be selecting our judges.”
JCN’s campaign led to a more conservative Iowa Supreme Court that struck down abortion rights and upheld a policy that allows police officers to charge drivers with crimes other than what they were stopped for, which was criticized as racially discriminatory.
Tyler Green, Administrative Trustee
Marble Freedom Trust’s listed address is a house in North Salt Lake City, Utah owned by Tyler Green, who is listed as an “administrative trustee” on Marble Freedom Trust’s tax filing. Green is a member of the Federalist Society and a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is himself a Federalist Society member and close friend of Leonard Leo. Green was also a lawyer for the U.S. Chamber Of Commerce.
Green served as solicitor general in the Utah Attorney General’s office from 2015 to 2020.
As solicitor general, Green defended Utah’s decision to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood in the state, triggering a legal battle that was eventually won by Planned Parenthood.
Green also filed a Supreme Court amicus brief supporting a case that argued Donald Trump could remove the head of the independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. According to NPR, this SCOTUS ruling allowed Trump to potentially fire the heads of other independent agencies, such as the Social Security Administration, based on political disagreements.
In 2020, Green became a partner at D.C. law firm Consovoy McCarthy. Consovoy McCarthy is perhaps best known for representing Donald Trump in his efforts to shield his financial records from congressional investigators and New York state prosecutors. Green has continued to fight legal battles on behalf of right-wing forces in Utah at Consovoy McCarthy.
Green was a member of the Utah attorney general’s legal team that sued to block a federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Green is also a part of the team defending Utah’s abortion trigger law, which automatically banned abortions after 18 weeks once Roe v. Wade was overturned. The case is on hold as of August 2022.
According to Transparency Utah, the state attorney general’s office has paid Consovoy McCarthy $370,000 since 2020.
Green also represented a group of cockfighters in Puerto Rico who argued the federal government could not regulate the sport within the territory.
Neil Corkery
Marble Freedom Trust’s 990 identifies Neil Corkery as being in charge of the organization’s books. Neil and his wife Ann Corkery are influential right-wing operatives closely involved in Leonard Leo’s network of nonprofits seeking to advance religious right-wing agendas. Salon reported that the Corkerys have used the network they built alongside Leonard Leo “to prop up conservative judicial nominees”
Right-Wing Religious Activism
Watchdog group OpenSecrets hypothesized that the political influence of the Corkerys is tied to their deep roots in right-wing religious communities.
In a 1990 interview, the Corkerys claimed to be members of Opus Dei, which has been accused of “having cult-like practices and promoting a right-wing agenda.” Opus Dei opposes same-sex marriage, divorce, abortion, and contraception.
Ann Corkery served as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly and the UN Commission on Women under President George W. Bush. She fought to institute a ban on human cloning at the UN.
Neil served on the boards of at the anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ advocacy group The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and at The Becket Fund, a legal giant which has opposed LGBTQ and abortion rights. Neil additionally held roles at conservative PAC ActRight Action, and the anti-marriage equality group The National Organization for Marriage.
Ann was also a board member at The Becket Fund and The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.
Media Ties
Neil and Ann Corkery were involved in efforts to promote conservative entertainment media. Ann worked with Friends of Abe, a group of Hollywood conservatives who aim to push back on the industry’s perceived liberal bias, and was an associate producer on a movie mocking Michael Moore. Neil is the former CEO of Wedgewood Circle, a group that aims to fund “redemptive cultural content.”
Connections to the Leonard Leo Network
The Corkerys helped launch Leonard Leo’s Judicial Crisis Network. Leonard Leo and Neil Corkery conceived of the Judicial Crisis Network at a dinner party attended by conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Leo and Corkery wanted to create an organization to help confirm conservative nominees in anticipation of the Supreme Court vacancies that George W. Bush ultimately filled with Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito.
Neil Corkery is the former president of Judicial Crisis Network’s sister organization the 85 Fund (FKA the Judicial Education Project) and Ann Corkery currently serves as its counsel. The 85 Fund operates within Leo’s network of conservative nonprofits that aims to influence the federal judiciary and American political system more broadly. In 2020, the group legally changed its name to the 85 Fund and almost immediately raised $20 million dollars, much of it from the powerful conservative “dark money” group, Donors Trust. In recent years, the 85 Fund has sent money to other conservative and right-wing groups, including groups that were tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Ann Corkery founded the Wellspring Committee in 2008. As OpenSecrets said in 2019, that Wellspring and its operatives “reshaped the way the game is played” and “ushered in a new era of increasingly expensive judicial battles largely fueled by deep-pocketed donors whose identities remain secret.” The group continued to have an outsize influence in judicial battles after its dissolution in 2018 through the “countless dark money groups it helped sire and judges now on the bench thanks in part to its anonymous financiers’ generosity.” Neil Corkery also served in various leadership roles at Wellspring during its tenure.
Neil Corkery was the principal officer at America Engaged in 2016. America Engaged is a non-profit within the Leo network formed by Leo with no public presence. In 2017, American Engaged gave $1 million to the National Rifle Association (NRA); that same year, the NRA announced a $1 million ad campaign supporting Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court nomination.
Neil Corkery reportedly served as an accountant at Liberty Central, a tea party group where Leo served as a board member. Ginni Thomas, the wife of Clarence Thomas who was involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, founded and led Liberty Central. The Thomases both count Leonard Leo as a friend.
Grants and Payments to Other Groups
In the same timeframe as it received a $1.6 billion donation, Marble Freedom Trust donated over $200 million to organizations associated with Leonard Leo and paid over $1 million in legal fees.
Rule of Law Trust: $153,000,000
A single donation of $153 million to the Rule of Law Trust made up the bulk of the Marble Freedom Trust’s donations in this tax filing period. The Rule of Law Trust is a 501(c)(4) group founded in 2018. Its sole employee is Leonard Leo. RLT’s stated mission is to “advance conservative principles and causes through communications, research, strategy, and assistance to other organizations,” yet the group keeps its operations completely private. RLT does not have a website and “claimed it had no employees and no volunteers in its first year and listed what appears to be a virtual office in Virginia as its main address.”
Judicial Crisis Network (Concord Fund): $16,500,000
The Concord Fund (also known as the Judicial Crisis Network) received $16.5 million from the Marble Freedom Trust. The Judicial Crisis Network is the lynchpin of conservative activist Leonard Leo’s efforts to capture the court system and has led to the nomination of five Supreme Court justices. Judicial Crisis Network spent nearly $40 million on efforts to confirm Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees and also played a significant role in getting George W. Bush’s nominees confirmed and opposing President Obama’s nominees.
Donors Trust: $41,100,000
Marble Freedom Trust gave $41 million to Donors Trust, which in past years has provided a majority of the funding for select Leo-linked groups. The Federalist Society is a frequent recipient of Donors Trust funds and other nonprofits linked to Leonard Leo like the 85 Fund. The 85 Fund received more than 99% of its funding in a single year from Donors Trust.
Donors Trust and its affiliate organization, Donors Capital Fund, are two of the most influential conservative organizations in contemporary American politics. In 2013, Mother Jones dubbed Donors Trust the “dark-money ATM of the right.” Donors Capital Fund is for major spenders — donors must spend at least $1,000,000 to give to the organization, while Donors Trust accepts donations of all sizes. Both organizations operate as “donor-advised funds,” which accept donations and recommendations for grants to be given, helping to separate the original donors’ identities from the destination of their funds.
Schwab Charitable Fund: $18,000,000
Marble Freedom Trust gave $18 million to the Schwab Charitable Fund, a donor-advised fund similar to Donors Trust that “steers money into conservative politics.”
Sullivan & Cromwell LLP: $940,000
Marble Freedom Trust paid $940,000 to the multinational law firm Sullivan & Cromwell. Sullivan & Cromwell has represented numerous controversial clients over the years, from tobacco companies to the United Fruit Company, which the firm lobbied on behalf of to push the United States’ 1954 intervention in Guatemala.
Kirton McConkie: $140,602
Kirton McConkie, a law firm that describes itself as “Utah’s premier full-service law firm,” received $140,602 from Marble Freedom Trust. Kirton McConkie has represented the Mormon Church and staffed a sexual abuse “help line,” which was used “to help the church keep its secrets and to cover up abuse.” A leaked document from 2012 reveals that the firm has represented the church in numerous sexual abuse cases.
Holtzman Vogel: $101,556
Holtzman Vogel Josefiak Torchinsky received $101,556 from Marble Freedom Trust. Holtzman Vogel is a boutique political law firm that represents “some of the nation’s largest super PACs and their related nonprofits” on the conservative side, including American Crossroads, Americans for Prosperity, the Honest Elections Project, the BH Fund, the Freedom and Opportunity Fund, and American Engaged among others. According to McClatchy, Holtzman Vogel “specializ[es] in creative legal maneuvers that allow donors to fund conservative causes to remain anonymous.”
With the influx of money in politics following the 2010 Citizens United decision, Holtzman Vogel “became one of the premiere legal shops to help the PACs distribute their largesse.”
Holtzman Vogel employs many longtime Republican operatives. Founder, partner, and namesake of the firm, Jill Holtzman Vogel, is a Republican state senator in Virginia currently serving her fourth term. Vogel has been described as a “dark-money super lawyer” by The Washington Post.
Ties to Other Groups and People
Barre Seid
Barre Seid is a conservative mega-donor who has maintained a lower profile than other major conservative donors, but he has been quietly giving to right-wing causes for decades. ProPublica reports that between 1996 and 2018, he gave at least $775 million in charitable donations, mostly to conservative organizations. Most recently, he gave $1.6 billion to Marble Freedom Trust by transferring ownership of his company to the trust. Seid also has notable connections to both Leonard Leo and the Koch family.
Seid allegedly donated $20 million to George Mason University in order to rename its law school after the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Leonard Leo and Jonathan Bunch, a former Federalist Society vice president, managed Seid’s alleged donation via the nonprofit BH Fund. As of May 2022, Leo was the president of BH Fund and Bunch served as the organization’s treasurer. The Koch family also contributed millions to the renaming effort, which was criticized as an unprecedented expansion of the Federalist Society’s and Koch’s influence on the public university.
In 2009, Seid set up the nonprofit Chicago Freedom Trust (CFT), and Leo later joined as a trustee. CFT was incorporated in Salt Lake City, Utah – as was Marble Freedom Trust.
Seid funded the Competitive Enterprise Institute, where Leo was a legal advisor. In 2014, following a failed Competitive Enterprise Institute SCOTUS case that aimed to overturn the ACA, Leo reached out to the influential right-wing funder, the Bradley Foundation. Bradley agreed to donate to Leo’s Judicial Education Project (JEP) to fund Supreme Court amicus briefs. Bradley’s grant to JEP cited the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s case.
The Barbara and Barre Seid Foundation gave Shimer College $650,000 as it moved its campus in 2006 “with the help of a big pledge from an anonymous donor.” At the same time, Shimer College’s board doubled in size and added members with right-wing political affiliations in an attempt to take over the board. The CFO/COO of Seid’s company, Trippe, joined the Shimer board in 2008, as did Fiber Bond President John Marienaua and Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast.
Seid has also funded the conservative Hillsdale College and the State Policy Network.
Seid has also contributed millions to other far-right efforts, including the conservative public policy think tank, the Heartland Institute, and the right-wing nonprofit, the Clarion Fund. In 2008, a multimillion-dollar donation to the Clarion Fund from Seid financed virtually the entire DVD distribution campaign for an Islamophobic film describing the threat posed by Iran.

DJ Spinna's "Sonic Smash" & Fresh Daily's "Gorgeous Killer…"
Audio / News
We just got word that both DJ Spinna‘s “Sonic Smash” album and Fresh Daily‘s “Fresh Daily is the Gorgeous Killer in Crimes of Passion” album, have been pushed back. Get Spinna’s album July 21st and Daily’s album August 13th. To make up for this, we are leaking this Fresh Daily joint produced by DJ Spinna entitled “Gotta Go” that isn’t on either of their albums. As if this wasn’t enough we decided to share this killer track from Spinna’s upcoming album. “Still Golden” features Tiye Phoenix and is one of the hottest tracks on Sonic Smash in my opinion. Massive thanks to Jonathan and High Water Music…

Church Re-opens New Zealand MTC After COVID-19 Closure
by Moroni Channel News | Jul 3, 2021
On Wednesday, 30 June 2021, for the first time in 15 months, a group of new missionaries arrived at the New Zealand Missionary Training Centre (MTC) in Auckland, to start in-person training.
These 25 new missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, all from New Zealand, have already done a week of online MTC at home prior to coming.
Twelve other missionaries who planned to come to the MTC from Australia were not able to do so, due to recently imposed travel restrictions caused by COVID-19.
The Australian missionaries will be welcomed whenever it is possible for them to travel. In the meantime, they will continue online training.
The teaching staff at the New Zealand MTC will continue to run online classes for other new missionaries in other parts of the South Pacific, whilst the New Zealand group trains onsite.
Elder Mosiah Kaitu’u, from the Auckland suburb of Mangere, was the first to arrive at the centre. Asked why he came so early, he said, “I was too excited, I couldn’t sleep!”
Originally from Brisbane, Australia, Elder Kaitu’u came to New Zealand two years ago to study and to “look after his nan.”
After a year of study, living with his grandmother, he had the desire to go on a mission. He started working to save money but COVID-19 slowed his plans. He eventually received his mission call, assigned to his hometown, Brisbane.
His grandmother encouraged him with loving support, “but didn’t push too much,” he says.
“I came to look after her, but she’s the one who helped me spiritually.”

“I now extend to you the invitation to help transform the trickle into a flood. Beginning at this place on this day, I exhort you
to sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth — messages that are authentic, edifying, and
praiseworthy — and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood.”

The Many Benefits of Courses and Seminars in Management
by Coraan Rany on January 8, 2019
Few things fire the imagination of individuals, families, companies, and entire nations quite like the idea of economic prosperity and success. At its best, capitalism can and should allow the individual a great deal of economic and personal freedom. It’s part of the reason that the godfather of capitalism, Adam Smith, entitled his seminal work The Wealth of Nations. More than making a few CEOs among the 1% wealthy, true capitalism can and should enrich entire nations. That begins with managers spreading the wealth among their companies, which in turn begins with determining the most efficient means to manage that company. By increasing the quality of your company’s management skills, you’ll be able to take the first steps towards maximising the efficiency, productivity, and thus shared prosperity of the company.
Taking management seminars can help provide you with the tools to do just that – and here’s how.
HR Managers
One of the most important jobs in any company is that of the HR manager. In the same way that a sports team is only as good as the manager who inspires, directs, and leads their players on a daily basis, the same may be said of HR managers in relation to the employees they oversee. The best seminars for management will give HR managers the tools and skills necessary to effectively lead the employees in the best possible manner.
One special subset of the HR world that requires special attention is those in charge of hiring. These are the people who are tasked with giving your company the best shot to compete going forward by bringing in the best talent to serve the company’s ends. In doing so, they need to keep a wide range of factors in mind, from the talents of those being considered to their degree of experience to how well potential applicants will be able to integrate into the chemistry and culture of the company.
This means having a thorough and effective interview process – and the best seminars for management teams in the UK can help you and your HR hiring specialists do just that. They will share the latest interview techniques with your hiring managers and help you practice those skills in sessions, which will give your team the chance to hone the skills that they’ll need to effectively interview and select the best talent for your company.
PR Managers
Of course, none of that will count for very much if your company remains obscure. As such, you’ll need to get the word out about your company as quickly and effectively as possible. That means having a talented PR staff. Still, raw talent isn’t enough. The best management classes in the UK also offer courses for PR and advertising managers. These courses and seminars can help give form and direction to those staff members’ creativity. They’ll learn not just PR and advertising tricks, but the best ways to advertise their work online as well as in person, which will give their efforts an added dimension.

National poll: most Americans saw Trump's racist messages as racist
Trump defended his recent racist message by saying "many people" agree with him. But how many?
Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump turns away from the cameras as he speaks at a town hall event in Appleton, Wis., March 30, 2016.
July 26, 2019, 11:30 AM UTC / Updated July 26, 2019, 12:00 PM UTC
Almost immediately after Donald Trump faced national criticism over his racist tweets directed at four Democratic congresswomen, the president came up with an awful defense.
A reporter asked the Republican, "Does it concern you that many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point?" Trump replied, "It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me."
As we discussed at the time, that wasn't much of an answer. "Many people" may agree with a racist statement; that doesn't make it less racist. Propriety and decency need not be seen through the lens of a popularity contest.
But the statement nevertheless raised the question of whether the president was right about public attitudes. A national Fox News poll, released yesterday, helped shed new light on the question.
"Do you feel Donald Trump's recent tweets, in which he criticizes four minority Democratic congresswomen and tells them to go back to the countries they came from, were an acceptable political attack or did those tweets cross the line?"Crossed the line: 63%Acceptable political attack: 27%
Taking a closer look at the cross-tabs, there were predictable divisions -- the vast majority of African-American respondents, for example, said the president's rhetoric went too far -- but most Republicans and Trump voters endorsed his racist tweets as acceptable.
And for Trump, that may be enough. When he said "many people agree" with him, perhaps the president was referring to many of his people.
The same poll asked, "Do you think Donald Trump respects racial minorities?" Most Americans (57%) said he does not, while only about a third (34%) said he does.
Finally, the Fox survey asked, "Do you think saying 'go back' to the country you came from is a racist thing to say to a person of color, or not?" A majority (56%) acknowledged the racist line as racist, while roughly a fourth (23%) disagreed.
This is, incidentally, the first live-caller poll -- generally seen as the best and most reliable method for accurate results -- to gauge Americans' attitudes on Trump's racist message.
There were plenty of political observers last week who made the case that the president was actually advancing his party's agenda, shining a light on Democratic congresswomen the GOP is eager to vilify. The controversy over the tweets, the argument went, only served to remind the public about the message Trump's party wanted to disseminate.
But as the dust settles, the data tells a different story: most of the public believes the president crossed a line, while the right's Democratic targets are still better liked than the top Republican in the Senate. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1432 | {"url": "https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/national-poll-most-americans-saw-trumps-racist-messages-racist-msna1257111", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.msnbc.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:55:06Z", "digest": "sha1:RYTEZRKQIKUXPWYGM6OL2HPU6ZEKD56N"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3067, 3067.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3067, 4520.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3067, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3067, 101.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3067, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3067, 281.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3067, 0.39553429]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3067, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3067, 0.01803279]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3067, 0.0204918]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3067, 0.01844262]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3067, 0.02336066]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3067, 0.01594896]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3067, 0.19617225]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3067, 0.5059761]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3067, 4.86055777]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3067, 5.11254122]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3067, 502.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 163, 1.0], [163, 312, 1.0], [312, 378, 0.0], [378, 552, 1.0], [552, 806, 0.0], [806, 1030, 1.0], [1030, 1225, 1.0], [1225, 1515, 0.0], [1515, 1781, 1.0], [1781, 1918, 1.0], [1918, 2079, 1.0], [2079, 2323, 1.0], [2323, 2509, 1.0], [2509, 2852, 1.0], [2852, 3067, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 163, 0.0], [163, 312, 0.0], [312, 378, 0.0], [378, 552, 0.0], [552, 806, 0.0], [806, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1225, 0.0], [1225, 1515, 0.0], [1515, 1781, 0.0], [1781, 1918, 0.0], [1918, 2079, 0.0], [2079, 2323, 0.0], [2323, 2509, 0.0], [2509, 2852, 0.0], [2852, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 68, 10.0], [68, 163, 16.0], [163, 312, 25.0], [312, 378, 13.0], [378, 552, 25.0], [552, 806, 43.0], [806, 1030, 40.0], [1030, 1225, 30.0], [1225, 1515, 45.0], [1515, 1781, 38.0], [1781, 1918, 25.0], [1918, 2079, 28.0], [2079, 2323, 45.0], [2323, 2509, 27.0], [2509, 2852, 55.0], [2852, 3067, 37.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 163, 0.0], [163, 312, 0.04255319], [312, 378, 0.35087719], [378, 552, 0.0], [552, 806, 0.0], [806, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1225, 0.0], [1225, 1515, 0.01433692], [1515, 1781, 0.0], [1781, 1918, 0.0], [1918, 2079, 0.02702703], [2079, 2323, 0.01762115], [2323, 2509, 0.0], [2509, 2852, 0.0], [2852, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 163, 0.0], [163, 312, 0.0], [312, 378, 0.0], [378, 552, 0.0], [552, 806, 0.0], [806, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1225, 0.0], [1225, 1515, 0.0], [1515, 1781, 0.0], [1781, 1918, 0.0], [1918, 2079, 0.0], [2079, 2323, 0.0], [2323, 2509, 0.0], [2509, 2852, 0.0], [2852, 3067, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 68, 0.04411765], [68, 163, 0.02105263], [163, 312, 0.05369128], [312, 378, 0.1969697], [378, 552, 0.02298851], [552, 806, 0.01968504], [806, 1030, 0.01339286], [1030, 1225, 0.02051282], [1225, 1515, 0.02068966], [1515, 1781, 0.01879699], [1781, 1918, 0.02189781], [1918, 2079, 0.03726708], [2079, 2323, 0.01639344], [2323, 2509, 0.01612903], [2509, 2852, 0.02040816], [2852, 3067, 0.01860465]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3067, 0.98392498]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3067, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3067, 0.91714519]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3067, 18.90604037]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3067, 96.44626674]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3067, -40.42566207]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3067, 26.0]]} |

What is considered a good CLTV?
CLTV vs LTV (Loan-to-Value)
Show full table of contents →
CLTV stands for cumulative, or combined, loan to value ratio. This ratio is meant to determine the combined value of all debt on a piece of commercial real estate relative to the total property value.
For example, if a borrower has a property worth $1 million, with a first mortgage of $500,000 and a second mortgage of $200,000, the combined debt amount is $700,000 and the CLTV would be 70%.
The CLTV is used by commercial, and multifamily mortgage lenders to manage risk. First lien holders and second lien both take CLTV into account. First lien holders will use the CLTV to determine if they will allow a borrower to take on subordinate debt, if in fact they allow for subordinate debt. The first mortgage lender often caps the amount of subordinate debt—if the debt is even permitted—to ensure the borrower has sufficient skin in the game. Second lien holders look at the CLTV to determine their risk in entering a deal, because their loan is going on top of a loan that has a priority lien.
The formula for CLTV (the cumulative, or combined loan to value ratio) is:
CLTV = Total Combined Loan Amounts / Total Property Value
The ideal CLTV for a commercial real estate loan is typically between 65-75%. This range is considered to be a safe amount of debt for the borrower to take on, while still providing the lender with a reasonable amount of security. Anything above 75% is considered to be a higher risk loan, and lenders may require additional security or collateral to approve the loan.
The CLTV is different from the loan to value ratio (LTV). The LTV is the ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property. The CLTV is the ratio of the combined loan amounts to the value of the property.
The CLTV is an important tool for lenders to manage risk when they are entering into a loan agreement. It helps lenders determine the amount of equity a borrower has in a property, the amount of leverage they are taking on, and the amount of risk they are taking on. By understanding the CLTV, lenders can make more informed decisions when they are evaluating a borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

NJ Cocaine Distributor Pleads Guilty
SCRANTON, PA — The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Carlos Perez-Rivera, age 37, of West New York, New Jersey, pleaded guilty on March 1, 2023, before U.S. District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion, to the charge of possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Perez-Rivera admitted to possessing four kilograms of cocaine for further distribution. The charge stems from an incident on March 23, 2022, in which members of the Pennsylvania State Police made a traffic stop of a vehicle in Lackawanna County in which Perez-Rivera and another individual, Kelvin Vazquez-Pagan were traveling. A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of approximately four kilograms of cocaine found hidden inside the vehicle.
Coconspirator Vazquez-Pagan, age 24, of Passaic, New Jersey, is awaiting trial.
The investigation was conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant United States Attorneys Robert J. O’Hara and Brian J. Gallagher are prosecuting the case.
This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

The charge carries a maximum penalty under federal law of up to twenty years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

The River Within
1 Comment / Dental Care / By admin
Have you ever stood beside a rushing river and watched the current carry wood and leaves quickly past? Your blood pulses through your body at a similar pace. Every twenty seconds, blood completes a round trip from head to toe. This closed system averages 100,000 miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries and delivers many vital components to sustain life.
Sometimes the system breaks open and dangerous invaders enter the bloodstream. While we often think of a cut or scrape on the skin as the entry point, the lining of the mouth offers an ideal backdoor. Over thirty square inches of tissue cover the mouth and provide a home to billions of bacteria. A unique collar of gum tissue surrounds each of the teeth, and a few potent strains of bacteria can take up residence in this hidden enclave. These microorganisms produce toxins, and the immune system reacts to them with a rush of inflammation. The delicate vessels of the gums deteriorate from the reaction, and bleeding begins.
It doesn’t take long for potent bacteria to enter the river of life. Within seconds, they’re reaching the fine vessels of the brain and slipping through the coronary arteries. They’re meandering into joints, organs, and fetuses of expectant mothers. In 2010, scientists at Case Western Reserve University were asked to investigate a stillborn case in a 35-year old mother who suffered from gum disease. Plaque samples from the woman’s teeth tested positive for the precise strain of oral bacteria discovered in the stomach and lungs of the fetus.
“Once the bacteria are in the blood, they can go almost anywhere,” Yiping Han, a Case Western Reserve professor of periodontics and pathology said. “The placenta is an immuno-suppressed organ, compared to other organs like the liver and the spleen. And that makes it easy for the bacteria to colonize the placenta.”
While this single case shouldn’t create anxiety for expectant mothers, it highlights the importance of dental health. Oral bacteria may aggravate the body in different ways, and damage may come in various forms. From a 30,000 foot view, chronic inflammation anywhere in the body can exacerbate other conditions. Diabetes is known to worsen gum disease, but the opposite is also true: Gum disease negatively influences control of blood sugar. On a microscopic level, oral bacteria have been identified in the lining of damaged coronary arteries.
Cancer, Too?
Here’s To Your Health
As the search for a cancer cure intensifies, a preventive focus still promises the best defense against the disease. While many people don’t correlate unhealthy gums with cancer, recent research does draw a link. In a study of 48,000 men, those with a history of gum disease carried a 36 percent increased risk of lung cancer, a 49 percent increased risk of kidney cancer, and a 54 percent higher risk of pancreatic cancer. We still don’t know all the reasons why, but saving your teeth could mean saving your life.
If bleeding gums could be patched together, they’d be equivalent to a 2×2 inch open wound on the skin. Saturated with bacteria, a gash of this size anywhere on the body needs attention. When gum disease remains uncontrolled in the mouth, the door stays open indefinitely as a large wound. As a result, a steady supply of bacteria ends up in areas of the body they don’t belong.
Every effort you make to keep your mouth healthy helps ensure you’ll keep your teeth for the rest of your life. The evidence continues to build that a preventive focus may add years to your life, too.

Heaven and Hell - Definitions
According to what most religious people believe, they are two distinct but very much interconnected worlds in existence today. One, we see - the physical world, and the other, the invisible one - the spiritual world. I don't have to describe the physical world to anyone, we all know it. We are very much aware of it because of our five physical senses. However, the other one has been a "question mark" for philosophers and religious individuals from as far as we can remember.
With time, the spiritual world became, by many, synonymous to heaven, but the physical world did not necessarily become synonymous with hell. Many suffering people today could argue this point very well. Actually many of us seem to place both: heaven and hell in the same place: the spiritual world.
Recently I started to make a distinction between the term "spiritual world" and the term "heaven" because they are not the same. Those of us who believe that the spiritual world exists also believe that the spiritual world is made up of the spirit of people who used to be on earth. Well there were a lot of different people throughout history who did passed on to the spiritual world and they were not all heavenly. I don't believe that they became instantaneously saints once they departed from the physical world.
Heaven on the other end is not far away for people who behave "heavenly". People who live lives with kindness, compassion, forgiveness, understanding, care, and service towards others and themselves usually will find themselves at peace no matter where they are. Circumstance may bring them sorrow from time to time but they will tend to find a way to look forwards with the desire to hurt no one and to leave behind a legacy of love and service towards others and the creation. You will also find these people do have a sense of the existence of God, though they may not belong to a particular religious group. When they go on to the spiritual world, they go in peace, with a sense of heavenly accomplishment.
"Heaven is not any kind of Disneyland; heaven is in the midst of you because the place where you are becomes God's dwelling place and the dwelling place of your parents."
Word and Deed, January 30 1977, Rev. Sun Myung Moon (1920 - 2012)
"Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” "

New pope must deal with divided church in United States
Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO - Pope Francis will face a divided Church in the United States, with the faithful at odds over issues like contraception, same-sex marriage and married priests.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was chosen to lead the Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, a role that will leave him with the daunting task of helping unite a U.S. Church caught in a tug-of-war between traditionalists and progressives.
"The bishops of the United States thank God for the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the inspired choice of the College of Cardinals," Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement.
U.S. Catholics interviewed seemed largely optimistic about the new pope - but some are taking a "wait and see" approach to a church leader known to be a strict traditionalist on issues like contraception.
In the United States, the results of November's presidential election highlighted the divide between Catholics who want the Church to modernize and those who favor its traditional ways. U.S. Catholic bishops pushed hard against policies favoring gay marriage and contraception, warning of the "intrinsic evils" of the Democratic platform. But post-election polling showed that most U.S. Catholics favored Democratic President Barack Obama.
Forty-six percent of Catholics surveyed said the new pontiff should "move in new directions," while 51 percent say he should "maintain traditional positions," according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted last month.
Donna Doucette, executive director of Voice of the Faithful, a group of lay Catholics that formed in 2002 in reaction to the clergy sex scandals, said she had mixed opinions about Pope Francis, who is known for choosing a simple, humble life, but who is not a liberal.
"It remains to be seen whether he is a person of the 21st century or the 17th century," Doucette said
Maureen Ferguson, senior policy advisor for The Catholic Association, a lay group which advocates conservative social policies, said she does not think the new pope belongs in a "box" labeled traditional or progressive.
"He has this personal simplicity - yet he holds this high office in the church," said Ferguson. "He spoke out in Argentina against allowing same-sex couples to adopt, yet he goes to the hospice and washes the feet of AIDS patients, which embodies the teaching that every person has a home in the church."
Nicholas Cafardi, dean emeritus at Duquesne University Law School and a civil and canon lawyer, agreed that Bergoglio is tough to easily classify.
"He's a Jesuit - Jesuits are known as men of education, men of ideas, men who aren't afraid to confront opposing ideas, and at the same time he's certainly been very orthodox himself in his teachings," Cafardi said.
Russell Shaw, a Catholic writer and former spokesman for the Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that this pope has been spoken about as a reformer of the Curia, the central governing body of the Church.
"Pope Francis needs to do whatever has to be done to make sure that the Curia works together as one unified body," he said.
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious, which represents 80 percent of U.S. nuns, offered its congratulations and prayers to the new pope. The group was criticized by the Vatican last year for focusing too much attention on social issues, like poverty, and not enough on opposing abortion and gay marriage.
Some U.S. Catholics interviewed expressed optimism that the new pope had chosen to take the name of Francis, a saint who advocated for reform and for the poor.

"This is a powerful first sign that he recognizes the church is in need of a spiritual renewal rooted in humility and social justice," said John Gehring, Catholic program director at Faith in Public Life, a liberal advocacy group.
The U.S. church's challenges include recovering from the clergy sexual abuse scandal, which has resulted in the bankruptcies of prominent archdioceses and cost the Church in America an estimated $3 billion in legal settlements.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted over the past week showed that most American Catholics name the scandal as the biggest problem facing the Church.
About 25 percent of U.S. residents are Roman Catholic, but that number has been buoyed by a continuing influx of Hispanic immigrants. Lapsed Catholics have become the nation's second largest religious classification, after Catholics, representing 10 percent of U.S. residents, according to the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
Even those who continue to identify as Catholics find themselves at odds with some Church teachings, particularly on the subject of contraception. A 2012 Gallup poll found that 82 percent of U.S. Catholics found birth control morally acceptable, even though it is prohibited by the Church.
Most U.S. Catholics surveyed, 54 percent, also support gay marriage, compared to 47 percent of all Americans, according to a University poll released this month.
Some U.S. Catholics see the traditionalism of the Church as a source of strength.
"We live in a culture that's ailing," said Terry Sullivan, 57, a parishioner at St. John Cantius in Chicago, which has regular Latin Masses. "The Church is here to heal it, not to accommodate the disease."

BHAGs and BEDROCK (Nathen’s Newsletter, April ’19)
April 19, 2019 by Nathen Aswell
BHAGs
My apologies for not connecting with you via a newsletter in March; as it turns out, I was continuing to live and learn by LISTENING deeply and ACTING wisely (as I wrote in January), and by doing my best to live the DISCIPLINE of JOY (by being mindful, grateful and trusting, as I wrote in February).
All of that has led me to what I want to share with you this month – about BHAGs (pronounced “b-hags” – short for Big Hairy Audacious Goals) and BEDROCK.
I first learned about BHAGs from Jack Canfield – goals that stretch us beyond our comfort zone and align us with our core values.
BEDROCK is a term that I learned from my years in the RC (Re-Evaluation Counselling) community – old ways of thinking and being that are so ingrained in us that we think that they’re insurmountable.
While visiting my Mom recently (she lives in Kemptville, about 40 minutes south of Ottawa), we watched “Cast Away“, a film in which Tom Hanks plays a FedEx executive who undergoes a physical and emotional transformation after crash landing on a deserted island. I saw the movie years ago, when it was first released (in 2000), AND watching it again had a profound impact on me; it reminded me, yet again, that the only time we have is NOW.
For the last several years, and in several ways, I’ve become increasingly aware of the Camino de Santiago, a network of pilgrimages leading to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Watching “Cast Away” with my Mom pushed walking the Camino off of my “bucket list” and turned it into a personal BHAG.
AND – what happens when we set a BHAG?
Our BEDROCK surfaces!
For me, it was old thoughts and beliefs about not being worthy and not being enough.
For years, I’ve enjoyed the image of a spiral as a visual metaphor for how we grow on this journey – coming around repeatedly to the same life lessons, with new perspectives that we’ve learned from past “spins” around the spiral. I’ve known, and have worked on, my BEDROCK for years – and now, I’m using some new tools to help disintegrate it:
1) Tapping / using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) as I
2) Recite (or sing) “Ho’oponopono“, the mantra at the heart of the ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness (“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.”), and then
3) Reclaim the power of I AM by affirming “I AM Worthy” and “I AM Enough”.
As well as using these tools daily (along with meditation and journaling), I’m now watching every available youtube video about the Camino. My BHAG is to walk it in honour of my 60th birthday (WHAT???) in September. (If you’d be kind enough to visualize me accomplishing my BHAG with Ease and Grace and Joy, I’d be most grateful!)
So – with Gratitude, Faith, and Simplicity (my words for 2019), I say YES to my BHAG and to disintegrating my BEDROCK!
In honour of BHAGs and BEDROCK, I offer you some of my music; may it serve you well.
Here And Now (a song from my CD “Little By Little”, about the power of the ONLY moment there truly is – the present moment);
Ho’oponopono (a BRAND NEW RECORDING of a chant, co-written with my dear friend Becca Palm, that celebrates the power of forgiveness and letting go);
A WholeHearted Life (a song from my CD “YES”, that reminds us that we ARE worthy and we ARE enough).
How about YOU, dear Friend? What’s most resonating in YOU this month? What’s a BHAG that YOU want to accomplish? What’s YOUR BEDROCK? WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you. Please e-mail me; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other. (BIG THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month.)
Much love to you, dear Friend. May you say YES to your BHAG, and disintegrate your BEDROCK, with Gratitude, Faith and Simplicity, and may you go with LOVE. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1442 | {"url":

An Interview with "Dancer Not Dementia" filmmaker Anthony Grani
Filmmaker Anthony Grani, is the director and editor of Dancer Not Dementia, a new short film presented by Canada's National Ballet School. Dancer Not Dementia captures the extraordinary experiences of dancers living with dementia and their carers and encourages viewers to reimagine their perception of dementia and discover the vibrant communities challenging dementia-related stigma through dance. The impact of dance is seen through the eyes of the residents and staff of Alexis Lodge Dementia Care Residence and Cedarhurst Dementia Care Home, and through experts in the health and arts spaces. Join Grani as he shares his experience working on the project, what it was like filming at the two care homes, memorable moments from the filming process, and more.
Having worked on this film and other projects that have engaged people living with dementia, what conversations do you hope are sparked through Dancer Not Dementia?
I hope this film can help people be a little less frightened of dementia. Certainly less frightened of interacting with folks living with dementia, and maybe even less frightened of getting it themselves. As the people in the film say, dementia does not erase who you are as a person. It doesn’t mean you’re not alive anymore. People living with dementia still have the capacity to be creative and experience joy. And we see that first hand through the folks dancing with us in the dementia care facilities. That’s the kind of stuff I hope people talk about after this film.
Can you share what it was like filming at both the Alexis Lodge Dementia Care Residence and the Cedarhurst Dementia Care Home?
One of the best things about being a filmmaker is getting access to places and worlds that you wouldn’t normally see. When I used to work on big Hollywood films, I’d get to see soundstages transformed into magical worlds, visit giant mansions and secret subway tunnels. Then when I moved into making documentaries, I still got to see places I wouldn’t normally see and do things I wouldn’t normally do, but I also got to talk to people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. And not only talk to them, but ask them questions. What a gift. Every film I make, I get to learn.
Alexis Lodge and Cedarhurst Dementia Care Home presented two new places to experience each with many interesting people with stories to tell. Both places were incredibly kind and accommodating to our small crew. As much as we try to stay out of the way, filming is always intrusive, and the staff and residents were always understanding and helpful. It was heartening to see how much the staff cared about and for the residents - and how that was reciprocated by the residents. The morning dance classes taught by Megan, Ashleigh and Cherise were always the highlight of the day. It was clear to see how much fun everyone was having. Then the afternoons were for interviews where I got to learn about the folks who live there and the folks who look after them. I finished each day inspired by the people I’d spoken to and the stories they told. It is always an enormous privilege for someone to allow you into their lives and give you their time and energy. Even more so when they let you into their homes. That’s not something I ever take lightly and I need to thank Alexis Lodge and Cedarhurst for welcoming us with open arms.
Can you share what inspired you to start your not-for-profit film company Reciprocity Media Collective and what your experience has been like creating media for other non-profits and charities?
I’ve always tried to give back and help out when I can. That often takes the form of me helping to create content for people or organisations who are trying to do some good in the world and don’t have the skills or resources to do it themselves. For years I would volunteer a day here and a day there when I had time in between other projects. I loved doing it because it felt good to help. Then one day when I’d just finished helping a local charity make a campaign video, I started to think about how I could make this the main thing I did instead of the thing I squeezed in a few days a year. And Reciprocity Media Collective was born.
Almost right from the beginning the requests for our services started coming in, and I’ve been extremely fortunate to have created projects for York University, University of Waterloo, University Health Network, Toronto Rehab Institute, Alzheimer’s Society of Canada, Partnerships in Dementia Care, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, The LivingRoom Community Art Studio, The Durham Rape Crisis Centre, Possible Arts, and The Dotsa Bitove Wellness Academy - and now of course, Canada’s National Ballet School!
But the best part of it is that all those projects have a purpose beyond just entertaining. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still entertaining I hope, but they are more than that. They are projects that educate, projects that enlighten, and projects that aim to make positive change.
Making films is great. Making films that make change is even better.
You have worked on other short films and documentaries in the past, was there something unique about the making of Dancer Not Dementia that stuck out to you?
Working with people living with dementia is always unique. As a filmmaker, before you get to the filming part it is always important to plan, plan, and then plan some more. Even in documentaries it is important to go in with an outline and structure of what you need to get and how and when you hope to get it. Sometimes even a loose sort of script. If I’m doing a historical documentary, I find a historian to talk about a specific thing, I do my research, write my questions, and I know generally what the historian is going to say and how it’s going to fit into the film before I’ve even met them in person. But when you work with people living with dementia, that all goes out the window in the most wonderful way. Everything is freer and more in the moment. It always keeps things fresh and makes filming days far more exciting. If I want to talk about dance with someone living with dementia, they may want to talk about dance, but they may also want to talk about basketball, or a childhood pet, or designing industrial control panels. So we just talk about whatever they feel like talking about. And sometimes I get things I can use in the film, and sometimes I just have a lovely conversation with an interesting person. Either way it’s a win for me.
Is there a part of the film that really resonated with you?
The overall message of acceptance and the recognition that folks living with dementia have the same desire and ability to connect and create as anyone else definitely resonates with me. It is vitally important and always good to be reminded to imagine people complexly and not simply reduce them to a diagnosis. So that’s a message I’m always happy to give and receive. But my favourite part of the film is the interview with one of the dancers, Illuminada, when she says that when she can do the dance like the other people, she feels the same as them and loses her inferiority complex. And that perfectly echoes what I said above. She feels the same as everybody else. And no matter what sort of difficulties she may have with memory loss and everything that comes along with it, she is the same as everybody else. Then right after she says that, there’s a lovely shot of her in a dance class and a beautiful smile shines through. It’s very subtle, as she is someone that didn’t show a lot of expression during the classes. But after spending time at Alexis Lodge over multiple days and classes, I got to know everyone a little bit and to me that smile is huge. And I have to say that even though through the editing process I’ve seen that moment easily over a hundred times, I still tear up a bit every time I see it.
Did you have any preconceptions about people living with dementia and if so, did that change after the filmmaking process?
I’ve been fortunate enough to make a few films about people living with dementia, so coming into this one I didn’t really have any preconceived notions. But before I made my first film in the world of dementia, I had loads of them. All informed by the stigma that permeates western society. All of them wrong. Expecting to not be able to connect with anyone. Worried that they would just be empty shells. It feels absolutely terrible to remember that I once thought that way, but before that first film I had never (knowingly) interacted with anyone living with dementia and I bought into all the cultural stereotypes. But on the bright side, it only took about 5 minutes on my first day on that first film to realise how wrong I truly was. And in the ensuing years, I’ve met so many wonderful folks, had amazing conversations, laughed, cried, played games, made art, played music, and now of course danced with them. I am so thankful to have had so many opportunities to learn how wrong I was. And I hope that this film can help de-stigmatize dementia so that more people don’t spend their lives as wrong headed as I used to be.

Residence Life Director Selected for Leadership Academy
Dr. Courtney Allen Joins Program Hosted by Global Campus Housing Officers Group
(BALTIMORE, Md.) – The director of housing & residence life at Notre Dame of Maryland University was selected for an inaugural leadership academy by the Association of College and University Housing Officers – International (ACUHO-I), leading organization for residence life professionals.
Dr. Courtney Allen is one of 13 campus professionals from around the country who were invited to join the ACUHO-I's 18-month program for Black women in higher education. The academy aims to develop stronger pathways for underrepresented professionals to advance in their career and volunteer leadership with ACUHO-I. The activities will include coaching calls, monthly meetings, and mentorship experiences, as well as the creation of a group capstone project. Dr. Allen and the other cohort members were recognized at the ACUHO-I Conference and Expo in June.
“I am really honored. It’s exciting to be able to work with other women who have similar experiences and know that you all are working toward the same goal of helping all students, particularly women of color,” said Dr. Allen. “I want to bring NDMU and what we’re doing with students to another level.”
The selected participants are thought-provoking professionals who bring a voice that broadens perspectives. Through the leadership academy, they will develop strategies to address challenges facing Black women in leadership and leverage their strengths and contributions to higher education. Dr. Allen looks forward to the opportunity to grow as a residence life leader, as she plans to add new programs and expand existing ones at NDMU, especially mentoring initiatives and living-learning communities.
“The leadership academy will help me continue to understand different populations of students because the needs of students always change,” said Dr. Allen. “It will help me to advocate for them in a more strategic way and gain some additional skills as a leader.”
ACUHO-I is a global membership of higher education institutions of all types and sizes and represents more than 17,000 professionals, who serve 1.2 million on-campus students. The organization is committed to cultivating diversity and inclusion in the leadership positions on campuses worldwide.
Established in 1895, Notre Dame of Maryland University (NDMU) is a private, Catholic institution in Baltimore, Maryland, with the mission to educate leaders to transform the world. Notre Dame has been named one of the best "Regional Universities North" by U.S. News & World Report.

A Part of Something Bigger
Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exodus 3:6
God always speaks to you in the context of what He has done in the lives of those who have gone before you. When God encountered Moses, He did not give him an assignment independent of what He had done through those who had preceded him. God had made promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob hundreds of years earlier, and He was now going to involve Moses in His ongoing activity to fulfill the covenant He had made with Moses’ forefathers.
The God who led Moses, who worked through Elijah, who directed Paul, who guided each man and woman of God through the centuries, is the same God who approaches you to become involved in His work. Do you sense the significance of that? You are a vital part of something much bigger than yourself!
We tend to think only of the present. We want immediate results and lack a sense of eternity. We often act as if God had not been working at all where we are before He approached us. We expect that anything God does through us will be completed while we can see the results. We become impatient if God intends to complete what He began in us through another person or even another generation.
Moses came to understand that his involvement in God’s work was in the context of hundreds of years of divine activity. When Moses came face to face with the same God who had guided his forefathers, he was deeply humbled. Do you sense that your life is a part of God’s eternal purposes? | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1446 | {"url": "https://www.newbeginningsji.com/single-post/2017/11/13/a-part-of-something-bigger", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.newbeginningsji.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:30:10Z", "digest": "sha1:KBOZS5FKJGE7GCPPOTLDQBOAGGVOKI3U"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1620, 1620.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1620, 3849.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1620, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1620, 109.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1620, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1620, 262.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1620, 0.49271137]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1620, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1620, 0.01864802]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1620, 0.01864802]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1620, 0.02175602]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1620, 0.0058309]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1620, 0.10787172]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1620, 0.48026316]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1620, 4.23355263]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1620, 4.55477646]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1620, 304.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 195, 1.0], [195, 206, 0.0], [206, 645, 1.0], [645, 941, 1.0], [941, 1334, 1.0], [1334, 1620, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 195, 0.0], [195, 206, 0.0], [206, 645, 0.0], [645, 941, 0.0], [941, 1334, 0.0], [1334, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 27, 5.0], [27, 195, 35.0], [195, 206, 2.0], [206, 645, 81.0], [645, 941, 54.0], [941, 1334, 74.0], [1334, 1620, 53.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 195, 0.0], [195, 206, 0.22222222], [206, 645, 0.0], [645, 941, 0.0], [941, 1334, 0.0], [1334, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 195, 0.0], [195, 206, 0.0], [206, 645, 0.0], [645, 941, 0.0], [941, 1334, 0.0], [1334, 1620, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.14814815], [27, 195, 0.07738095], [195, 206, 0.09090909], [206, 645, 0.03644647], [645, 941, 0.03378378], [941, 1334, 0.02544529], [1334, 1620, 0.02447552]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1620, 0.00340152]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1620, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1620, 0.00513089]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1620, 72.21707944]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1620, 44.76008163]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1620, -62.4515749]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1620, 16.0]]} |
Salvation Army needs Red Kettle Volunteers
The Salvation Army’s Annual Red Kettle campaign starts in November and runs through Christmas Eve.
Published: Nov. 17, 2022 at 12:07 PM CST
WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - If you are looking to give back this holiday season, bell ringing is a great way.
The tradition started in 1891, when a Salvation Army Captain wanted to provide a free Christmas dinner to those in need, but needed a way to pay for the food.
Fast forward to the present day, and donations to the red kettles support a wide range of services and programs.

CASH FOR INFLUENCE

The revelations made by the New York Times of a payment allegedly made to President Mahinda Rajapaksa days ahead of the Presidential poll in January 2015 has brought into sharp focus the real need for robust laws governing electoral funding in Sri Lanka.
It is not often that a respected newspaper makes detailed claims openly as the NYT copy. Indeed at first glance the story does appear detailed – until one looks at it analytically. However claim is made that a Chinese state business enterprise made various withdrawals of significant sums and that those sums were given as gifts or donations to unnamed persons supposedly within the Rajapaksa camp.
The veracity of the claim made by the much respected newspaper will no doubt be checked by the authorities in Sri Lanka – in an attempt to check if any rules and regulations have been broken.
In Sri Lanka it is common practice for politicians to receive donations from mainly anonymous sources ahead of elections and sometimes after polls when invoices from a variety of suppliers arrive at party and candidate offices. Identifiable electoral donations – called ‘support’ – in Sri Lanka are few and far between. The sums though can be astronomical if we are to believe some of the claims that sometimes are made openly.
Not long ago an obviously successful businessman with a fairly wide repertoire of businesses that includes hotels, property, trading and investments in capital markets made the claim that he was taken to see the leader of a mainstream party, the UNP, by a senior member of the party. He maintains he has copies of cheques that had been encashed – totaling USD 200,000 at the time he made the donations. Although he openly stated that he will make it available to the media and other interested parties, the exposition has not been made yet.
More frequently media in Sri Lanka have from time to time, calculated that vast sums of monies are expended on electoral campaigns that run into millions of rupees. Says a former provincial council legislator, “a basic low-level campaign for a parliamentary poll can set you back at least Rs 10 million – then USD 75.000 although you are more likely to need double that depending on the size of the constituency”
Supporters of the Rajapaksa political machinery brush off the recent publication as being devoid of fact and almost in the same breadth declare that even if it was in reality given to the Rajapaksa’s no laws have been breached.
The flip side is of course that a number of issues may well be present. As for embarrassment factor, the number of complaints and allegations levelled against the former President and his family, friends and colleagues, would suggest that they have collectively gotten immune to the negativity and any embarrassment. Instead they appear to revel in the notoriety of the claims. After all not long after the loss of seat (if not face) the now Finance Minister startlingly claimed that the Rajapaksa’s had collected approximately USD 18 Billion in overseas accounts. Examination of the country’s finances would suggest that the economic data published by the Central Bank after he left office, would not support that claim. The Sri Lanka economy was worth around USD 50 Billion on average during the Rajapaksa tenure and public spend was never more than 6%. In the light of these claims analysts point out that it would have been impossible for the Rajapaksa’s to amass USD 18 billion from an economy the size of Sri Lanka’s.
The more serious question that arises is of course the virtually non-existent rules governing electoral funding. It becomes far more potent if one gives credence to the claim that the funding is from another sovereign state, funding the one individual who at the time was the incumbent Executive President of the country.
China and its Belt and Road initiative (BRI) has attracted plenty of concern – always brushed aside by the Chinese – especially when nations along the BRI route map complain of choking debt programs they find themselves in – usually after living with the debt for a few years, typically three years. Almost always the developing country ends up handing over sovereign land in exchange for the inability to pay the colossal accumulated debt.
That in turn sets off a series of events including of course political instability with opposition members gleefully pointing out the drawbacks of having accepted huge loans from a Super Power and having to repay loans with lengthy leases.
With Sri Lanka being engulfed by rampant sleaze, graft and accountability issues, there are growing calls that legislators take a hardline stance with a commitment to addressing the issues.
Unsurprisingly Sri Lanka does not find itself full of politicians who are focused on tightening the accountability and transparency screws. The so-called ‘bondgate’ scam involving the country’s Central Bank which saw the country incur huge losses running into billions of rupees, has led to some evidence that much more than a handful of politicians and their associates received an aggregate total of at least USD 8.4 Million – over Rs 1.3 billion. Considering that the initial 30-year bond was advertised to raise just Rs 1 billion, the alleged slush fund of USD 8.4 Billion helps place the bondgate scam into some context.
Adding to that context is the published figures of the profits made by a company whose owners and members of their family share friendships of a long standing nature with the country’s Prime Minister and other politicians. Perpetual Treasuries Limited, a licensed primary dealership, posted profits of over Rs 12 Billion in three accounting periods – USD 88 Million. The profits contrast sharply for the limited industry of primary dealers where no other dealer had ever made in excess of Rs 1 Billion in any one accounting period. And the majority of them had been in business for much longer than the new boy on the block – Perpetual.
In a country where the Prime Minister used the sanctity of parliament to expose names of businessmen whom he claimed were in some way ‘suspect’ of various acts of corruption and despite his pronouncement that they would be investigated and presumably brought to book, nothing very much has been done, the chances of introducing stringent laws to control and make electoral funding Transparent and accountable, remain extremely slim.

Jaguars LB Joe Schobert talks about obstacles the locker room had to overcome in the last few weeks
Jacksonville, FL- On a media conference earlier this week, linebacker Joe Schobert talked about the many obstacles that the team had to overcome in the past couple of weeks.
The Jaguars continue to fight, despite winning one game thus far this season. It has been been one heck of a roller coaster ride for the organization, but they remain pretty upbeat and optimistic week in and week out.
A couple weeks ago, Jacksonville lost their starter Gardiner Minshew to a thumb injury. Since the injury, the Jaguars have been playing ring around the rosie with their back up quarterbacks.
Outside of the quarterback turmoil, the Jaguars decided to let general manager Dave Caldwell go two weeks ago. The Jaguars played through it, but it was an uneasy week for the Jags.
"Yeah, I mean, obviously, it was a challenging week," said Schobert.. “I mean, it’s always a little shocking when it happens. But I mean, looking back in the history of teams I’ve played on, other places, it’s kind of in line with the NFL. If something’s not going right, they’re going to try to make a change with whoever it may be. I think, obviously, I’m not in the owner’s boxes. Those decisions are above my pay grade, but coming from my level, it was a little bit of a surprise".
'Obviously, with the whole COVID thing, I spoke to him briefly a few times this season, but I really didn’t get to know him very well. So, it’s kind of weird, just a weird situation. But it caught me by surprise a little bit, yeah.”
The defense played good last week and almost came out with a win over the Cleveland Browns. Schobert felt good about his defense, despite the loss. " I do think, given the challenges that hit the defense last week, that a lot of guys stepped up and played to the best of their abilities and it was good to see.”
The Jaguars will face the Vikings this week and it will be pretty interesting to see if they could find a way to win.

We’re the Vikings!

LORI ANN REINHALL
Editor-in-chief, The Norwegian American,
Dear readers and friends,
The month of March has been a month of great change for us here at the newspaper, a bit of March madness, so to speak, but most of it was crazy good!
We are happy to announce that the rollout of our new subscription management software powered by SimpleCirc has been a great success. On our side, it has simplified the processing of renewals and new orders, while giving us greater insight into our data. This will allow for better planning and enable us to grow—and we are already seeing good results. Our subscriber base made substantial increases during the past month, and with increased revenue over time, we will be able to bring you a better product and reward those who work so hard to make it happen.
At this point, I need to give a special thanks to those who have gone an extra mile as we worked on setting up these new systems. First and foremost, we owe a big shout-out to Deborah Stoner-Ma, our subscription and business manager. For several months now, Debbie has made sure that everything was migrated to the new database without glitches, while continuing to interact with our customers on a day-to-day basis. This was an enormous accomplishment, one which will have a significant impact on the future of our publication.
Now, it is with mixed feeling that we are sending Debbie off to enjoy full-time retirement. Over her time at The Norwegian American, Debbie has gone way beyond the call of duty, for which we are so grateful. After she came to us to help out a few hours a week, after retiring from a successful career in chemistry (she holds no less than a Ph.D.), she filled many gaps during a time of transition. We will all miss her dearly, but we are very happy that she will be able to spend more time with her family, hobbies, and volunteer work. Tusen takk, Debbie—it’s been great—and we all wish you the very best!
Fortunately, we have not been left alone here, and I am happy to announce that Assistant Editor Andy Meyer is now back from his parental leave. We are looking forward to hearing about his adventures taking care of his little son, Arve, and of course, we are thrilled that he is back on board. I should also point out that Andy was instrumental in helping us research our new subscription system and deserves much credit there.
We would also like to welcome a new team member, Brenda Bard, who has joined us as our new business manager. Brenda has been active in the Scandinavian-American community in the Greater Seattle area for many years (she even plays accordion with me) and has a very deep background in business, accounting, and data management. Again, we are very lucky to have such a talented woman join our team, but as I have said many times, I am incredibly fortunate to work with such an amazing group of people. This goes for all of our staff and the many contributors who support us. We are the Vikings in every positive sense of the word!
For all of us, this issue has been a lot of fun to work on with its theme, “A Viking Adventure.” Everyone with a Nordic heritage seems to get excited about the Vikings. I have to admit that I have been known to don a Viking helmet with horns and braids to then down a glass of mead in good fun. But this issue is about much more than that. We have engaged scholars who offer a very informed view of who the Vikings were, with a deeper look into history, including reviews of some scholarly books that we think you will enjoy. We have also taken a look at how Viking culture is celebrated today. We hope that it will provide you with some good food for thought.
Finally, I want to mention a few other changes we are making this month. After many years, we are saying goodbye to our old friends “Han Ola og han Per.” We have looped through the entire series of the classic comic strip and realized it may be a bit outdated. When this month’s strip featured Ola going out to shoot a cat, we thought maybe it was time for a change. Our new comic strip, “Lille Berlin,” offers a modern—and very funny—perspective on contemporary Scandinavian life and gives you the opportunity to learn Norwegian the way it is spoken today.
On this page, you will also notice that we are saying goodbye to our birthday list. This was not a decision that we made lightly, rather one driven by practical business concerns. Over the years, the list has become unmanageable, as The Norwegian American has moved from being a community-based publication to a national newspaper. This year, we invested considerable time and resources to clean up the list and discovered that many of those appearing on it were deceased or had no discernible relationship to our subscriber base. As much as we love the list, it seems to have become a costly anachronism, and with our growing number of subscribers, it will not be possible to maintain over time.
But that doesn’t mean that we won’t continue to honor you. If you have important milestones and celebrations to mark, please send us your photos and write-ups for our Bulletin Board. And then, of course, our Community Connections ads are one of the best deals we offer at $50 for an 1/8-page B&W space. We are now also offering announcement ad spaces for only $15, so you can still send your special greetings to those you love, while supporting our newspaper.
Wow, this really has been quite a month. but we hope you will now enjoy “A Viking Adventure” with The Norwegian American!

Milad A
MAY 2020 – GRADUATE SCHOOL.
It’s time to shine our success spotlight on this month’s Student of the Month: Milad A. from Iran!
Milad is applying for his mechanical engineering PhD program at several universities in the US.
He needed to score high on the TOEFL so he could get into his dream school: Rice University in Houston, Texas.
Milad’s journey began in late 2016. At the time, he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to pursue his degree abroad or at home in Iran. So he took his first TOEFL in September just to see how he would do.
He studied using the Memrise app to strengthen his vocabulary. And about a week before his test a friend of his told him about NoteFull. So he started going through our YouTube videos as well.
Just from studying with those 2 resources alone, Milad was able to earn a total score of 93 on his first attempt with a 21 in the speaking section. And without taking a single practice test. Amazing!
It would be some time before he took the TOEFL again, however. In mid-2017, Milad applied to be a Teacher’s Assistant at Stony Brook University in New York to see what options they would give him. But they required a higher speaking score than he had gotten on his first try. In fact, he needed to score just 1 point higher to qualify.
So in June of 2017, he went in for his second attempt. This time, he scored a 22 in the speaking section! His reading and writing scores were lower than the first time. But he was still able to meet Stony Brook’s score requirements.
Milad was happy with his results. He had qualified for the TA position. But he was still unsure whether or not he wanted to study abroad. So he decided to keep his options open.
Around 2 years later, he had come to the decision that he wanted to study abroad in the US. By this time, his previous TOEFL scores had expired.
So he signed up to take his 3rd TOEFL on November 17th 2019. Only this time, he invested in 2 of NoteFull’s TOEFL Mastery programs. The 12-Step Speaking Mastery and 12-Step Writing Mastery programs.
The templates he learned from these programs were incredibly valuable. He learned how to develop strong reasoning in his answers and how to build upon his examples. Especially when it came to the writing section. He was able to develop his examples in each paragraph of the writing section to write 600 words!
Another thing that helped him get his mind in gear was NoteFull’s pool of topics. One month before his test, Milad started doing 20 of them per day. He would do one as if it were speaking Q2. Then the next he would do as if it was the new version of speaking Q1. And the next would be for writing Q2. This really strengthened his ability to develop ideas in a wide range of topics. And more importantly, it made him much less stressed about those questions on his test!
Armed with his new skills and templates, Milad felt ready to take down the TOEFL once and for all.
But on November 17th, there were protests going on in Iran. The internet actually got disconnected so he couldn’t go in for his test. To his dismay, it ended up getting postponed until December 7th…
This was just 3 days after Milad was scheduled to take his GRE! So he was forced to study for 2 huge exams at the same time. Needless to say, he was VERY stressed.
Luckily enough, he had a friend who had the 12-Step Reading and 12-Step Listening programs. So they pooled their resources and studied for the TOEFL together.
Milad rose to the challenge. He wasn’t going to let any test get in the way of his dreams. He mastered the templates that NoteFull taught him and went into his 3rd attempt with confidence!
Milad’s results were nothing short of amazing. He got near perfect scores in 2 out of the 4 sections with an overall score of 107!
Thanks to his hard work, he can now be accepted into a wider range of universities in the US! Now that he’s done with the TOEFL, he has more time to focus on his graduate studies. And he is currently applying to more universities to expand his options as much as possible. But he still has his eyes set on Rice University in Houston.
Awesome job, Milad! We know you’ll go on to do great things 🙂
Struggling with the TOEFL? Here’s Milad’s advice:
“Stick with the program. Practice a lot because mastering the templates is the most important thing for the TOEFL. And it has been a lot easier this version of the TOEFL than the previous TOEFL with 2 or 3 more reading questions than before. So I think just sticking to the templates and studying vocabulary will boost their scores a lot.”
Whether you’ve never taken the TOEFL before and need it for nursing,
—or have taken it more times than you can count for pharmacy,
—or need help in one section for physical therapy,
—or all sections for dentistry,
—or need to improve a little for teaching,
—or A LOT for graduate school,
—or any combination that’s stressing you out…

NPUK: 25th Birthday
This year marks the 25th birthday of NPUK. Over the last 25 years we have aimed to make a positive difference to those affected by Niemann-Pick disease every day. Our Annual Family Conference provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate this amazing milestone with our treasured families and supportive network of health professionals from all over the world.
Tony Somers: NPUK Conference Speaker
This year we will be welcoming a very special guest speaker, Tony Somers. Tony is a professional life coach and trainer, who will be speaking to the men of our community in particular via a workshop session. The main aim of this workshop will be to help them work through difficult experiences and emotions which can all too often be suppressed and hidden away, rather than faced head-on and handled positively... | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1453 | {"url": "https://www.npuk.org/news/page/40/?doing_wp_cron=1670625902.1909799575805664062500", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.npuk.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:48:30Z", "digest": "sha1:YGTEI3RYBATBYG62DLCXI72ZLCGEXOSV"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 831, 831.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 831, 1761.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 831, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 831, 90.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 831, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 831, 299.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 831, 0.42384106]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 831, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 831, 0.02643172]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 831, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 831, 0.01986755]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 831, 0.25]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 831, 0.09271523]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 831, 0.68382353]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 831, 5.00735294]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 831, 0.00662252]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 831, 4.35330241]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 831, 136.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 381, 1.0], [381, 418, 0.0], [418, 831, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 381, 0.0], [381, 418, 0.0], [418, 831, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 3.0], [20, 381, 57.0], [381, 418, 5.0], [418, 831, 71.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.11111111], [20, 381, 0.01123596], [381, 418, 0.0], [418, 831, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 381, 0.0], [381, 418, 0.0], [418, 831, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.25], [20, 381, 0.033241], [381, 418, 0.21621622], [418, 831, 0.01210654]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 831, 0.01513577]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 831, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 831, 0.00160682]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 831, -33.43887998]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 831, -1.8436347]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 831, -34.25556112]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 831, 6.0]]} |
It wasn't long ago that single premium immediate annuities were bashed regularly as a lousy use of money. Today, however, with longer life expectancies, baby boomers reaching retirement age and increased volatility in the financial markets, these annuities are gaining in popularity.
A single premium immediate annuity is a contract with an insurance company; you write a check and in return receive a stream of income. There are typically several options for the income stream. You can set it for a specific period of time or for life.
With the specified time period, the payments go to you or your designated beneficiary for the time selected. If you do not survive that time period, the beneficiary receives the income for the remainder of the time period selected.
When you choose the lifetime income solution, the payments often end when you die. To protect against the risk of a premature death, many choose what is called a “period certain'' for that income stream. The period certain allows you to select a minimum time period that the income will flow to your beneficiary if you die.
The payments will be lower than if you selected a straight life only income.
The good news, however, is that the lifetime income stream pays you the stated amount regardless of how long you live. With advances in science that appear to be extending life expectancy, this option may make sense for some people - especially if longevity is in the family history.
The downside to these annuities is that the interest rate used in figuring your annuity payment is frequently low, and you are locking in that rate for an extended period. During boom times in the economy and financial markets, few are eager to commit to this type of plan. But when the economy is suffering, the markets are volatile and fear is more prominent than prosperity, the number of annuities sold increases.
Also, many of these annuities do not have inflation protection built in, and the amount of your monthly check remains constant for your entire life.
The reliability of the income from the annuity is backed by the strength and financial condition of the insurer that you choose. Obviously, making sure that your provider is in good financial health with a long-term track record is important.

in the countries of the mind
Delighted that in the countries of the mind is now available at the London Review of Books bookshop. Where should it go? It was decided to place it in the Essays section. It may well be the only book in that section which has been ordered using the most random method possible: meteorological data!

- Montse Gallego. The Tree: Memory is what links us to terrestrial life, to the sense of space and time and to all rational processes. Without it, we would only live in the present, discovering the world and its wonders at each and every breath, but making us incapable of survival. Memory creates and re-creates us constantly, adding pieces to its infinite puzzle every second. Being selective to avoid such overwhelming information, memory is also creative, building a different universe in each mind. That is why memory is both what unifies us and what separates us. In The Tree memory is presented in the form of pages from my diary being printed and blown up on different types of paper, joined together, painted over, written over, overlapping each other... These pages have transcended their primal purpose (personal reflections) to help me to find another type of memory that exists beyond me: the one of the archetypes and symbols, the one that belongs to the collective memory and in doing so, directly reaching the viewer. My own memories were not the subject of the painting, but they were the objects used to open the door : 'just forgetting, we are able to reach the essential knowledge'. http://hundredyearsgallery.co.uk/the-floating-world/ _____________________________

- Jo Roberts: Diary to Mimir. This is my diary. It was started when I was invited to exhibit at the Memories exhibition last autumn and it ends on the day it was hung. It includes musings, sketches, childhood memories, descriptions of what I experience during epileptic seizures - which I often refer to as “turns” - stories from mythology, medieval monsters, hallucinations, lots of mentions of plants and insects and a recipe for getting rid of plant mites. Some of the pages had bleach accidentally spilt on them which has meant the text has disappeared, rather like a fading memory. I decided to call it a Diary to Mimir because he was The Rememberer in Norse mythology. _____________________________
- Jill Rock: The Memory Clinic The outer layer is the world outside here seen as a collection of other people’s ideas on memory; then there are the objects which carry memory igniting them in our minds signified by the mirrors which are in fact images of things past reflecting back to us in the present. In this process we re-imagine and use them for ways to act in the here and now. The dance ball - I have always seen it as one of my symbols - multi-facetted, continually receiving and reflecting with a dark empty centre - Buddhist friends say that the dark vacuum at the centre is not a personal aberration, but apparently central to Buddhist thought – but not being a Buddhist, I have never gone along with the idea of the single identity thing. https://rbs.org.uk/artists/jill-rock http://cargocollective.com/JillRock/CV _____________________________

Wonderful website
Just catching up with Chris Lynn's wonderful website - I've been enjoying his Walk and Potomac series of films, and there are lots of other gems there too - a perfect antidote to staring at likes on the cellphone or mobile, as one walks, impervious to the beauties of the outside world.
Arts festival launch: Memories - There’s Always Tomorrow
We attended a wonderful and lively party, to kick off the arts festival on the theme of memories, at St Pancras Hospital, London. It also was the occasion for the first public screening of River, from the new music/film Diversions, and the launch of the new book, in the countries of the mind.
I was invited by the artist Jill Rock, who, together with Peter Herbert and Elaine Harper-Gay from The Arts Project, had brought together for the festival an exhibition of varied, dynamic and colourful paintings and installations by eleven artists: Phil Baird, Lorraine Clarke, Melanie Ezra, Montse Gallego Reyes, Gloria Garcia, Jolanta Jagiello, Maria Lusitano, Elspeth Penfold, Joanne Roberts, Jill Rock, and Nicky Scott-Francis.
Claudette and I set up the equipment, which due to our inexperience, suddenly became temperamental. Fortunately, we were able to fix it, with some assistance. Our nerves had subsided by the time the audience filled the conference space. After the various introductions, I presented River.
I started with a randomised game that involved 12 short extracts from in the countries of the mind. These extracts were read by Phil Baird, Claudette Robertson, Maria Lusitano, Jill Rock and Nicky Scott-Francis, who were themselves randomly scattered in the audience. Originally I was going to toss a 12-sided dice, but I forgot where I’d put it (ironic, considering the theme of the festival: Memories: There’s Always Tomorrow).
Fortunately that morning (just in case of the unlikely event that I’d forget the dice) I had randomised the 12 extracts using weather data, so I used these numbers for the game instead. Astonishingly (and a genuine coincidence) the last extract turned out to be about River.
I explained that this music/film was inspired by the Thames.
In this music/film you don’t see the river all the time – but it isn’t forgotten, as it’s there throughout, in the music.
River is an audiovisual interweaving of memories, of finding wonder in the illusory everyday.
Recent performances and a new book
On the 4th March I was the opening item at the Hundred Years Gallery’s Illuminations and Evocations show, reading extracts from in the countries of the mind, the first book in the scattering texts series. The vivid, large, humorous and energetic paintings by Ana Pallares framed other performances, including a lively song, wry readings by poets, and a concluding improvisation by KMAT, which ended with mysterious small objects rolling quietly towards the audience.
Last week we went to an amazing place (the Coronet Theatre in Notting Hill) and saw the highly evocative Quay brothers’ film Street of Crocodiles, and Comet, directed by Teresa and Andrzej Welminski: a magical piece of theatre using sound, music, dance, mime, light, old props of various kinds, mobile scenery, and IMAGINATION.
It was performed by a company, some of whom were in Cricot-2, the Tadeusz Kantor theatre group. Years ago I missed Kantor's Dead Class at the Riverside Theatre, so now it was a wonderful opportunity to see his kind of work, in a venue which is very strange, and ideal for it. I was so pleased to catch up on this amazing type of performance – as soon as we saw the buildings move, I knew it was going to be a phantasmagorical evening.
The Coronet’s bar is set around a baby grand piano, in a space which in itself looks like a surreal theatre set. Many of the floors in the place lean, as does this space, so you have to watch out in case your drink slides off the low table on which you have carefully placed it. The low lighting is provided by dozens of tea-lights illuminating various alcoves with peculiar arrangements of found objects – for example a strange toy, an ancient book lying open, a small sheep skin. A wall is covered in an array of old handbags, possibly left by accident, and another wall is covered in various small antique mirrors. We sat by a large old bed, covered in a patterned rug with a solitary cushion on it.
Altogether, with the film and the performance, an unforgettable evening.
Théâtre Volière: Marchland
Went to an energetic and inspiring multi-lingual and multi-cultural performance at The Bridewell Theatre, London, on the 3rd March last Saturday.
Presented by the international Théâtre Volière company, as part of their Marchland season, in this performance the audience were invited to sit on the stage with the performers. This enabled you to be in the middle of all the action, including the extraordinary singing of Åkervinda, a Swedish vocal group, whose clear and luminous tones created an evocative and moving polyphony.
‘Marchland’ refers to frequently disputed frontiers, which the Théâtre Volière presents very effectively, with all the ambiguities such spaces at the limits display.
This type of performance is very much needed now, at a time when simplistic thinking and narrow factions are sadly increasing. The Théâtre Volière company challenges the dead weight of received ideas in a lively, stimulating and thought-provoking way.

BAFTA 70th ANNIVERSARY
On Monday 18th December at 2.30pm we attended the 70th Anniversary of BAFTA, at its headquarters in Piccadilly. I was invited by Mr A.A. Reeves, as the David Lean Foundation had funded my doctoral research on Eisenstein's ideas on the audiovisual.
The celebration included a screening of David Lean's film This Happy Breed, which was shown on the large BAFTA screen, in their own cinema. In the programme was my text about a particularly moving scene from this film, which I'd explored from an audiovisual perspective, in my second book Cinema and the Audiovisual Imagination.
Mr A.A. Reeves of the David Lean Foundation told the audience the story of how BAFTA began, and the key role of David Lean's financial support in its creation, thanks to his extraordinary films, in particular the great success of Lawrence of Arabia.
it was wonderful to experience This Happy Breed on a big screen. For David Lean it was really his first film, after his collaboration with Noel Coward on In Which We Serve. This Happy Breed was based on a play by Noel Coward. Anthony Havelock Allan produced both films, and according to the other producer and director Ronald Neame, Havelock Allan heard his mother telling someone that her son had produced a film called In This We Breed.
Machines: first public screening
The first live outing for Machines at the Hundred Years Gallery last night went very well - it was warmly received by the audience. This music/film, completed this year, is the first of three movements from Diversions.
Afterwards the artist Jill Rock performed an evocative incantation to the compass points, followed by a virtuosic performance by Ivor Kallin in his piece for customised violin and interpolated spoken words. A break for drinks followed, after which there was a solo performance involving T-shirts and citrus fruit by Mervyn Diese, then an inspired improvisation on the saxophone by Mr Jensen, followed by another break for panettone and drinks - a most convivial evening.

"It is almost impossible to over-estimate the importance of these inventions. The Greeks would have elevated their authors among the gods; nor will the enlightened judgment of modern times deny them the place among their fellow-men which is so undeniably their due."— Edinburgh Review.
That Skill in mechanical contrivance is a matter of education and training as well as of inborn faculty, is clear from the fact of so many of our distinguished mechanics undergoing the same kind of practical discipline, and perhaps still more so from the circumstance of so many of them passing through the same workshops. Thus Maudslay and Clement were trained in the workshops of Bramah; and Roberts, Whitworth, Nasmyth, and others, were trained in those of Maudslay.
Joseph Clement was born at Great Ashby in Westmoreland, in the year 1779. His father was a hand-loom weaver, and a man of remarkable culture considering his humble station in life. He was an ardent student of natural history, and possessed a much more complete knowledge of several sub-branches of that science than was to have been looked for in a common working-man. One of the departments which he specially studied was Entomology. In his leisure hours he was accustomed to traverse the country searching the hedge-bottoms for beetles and other insects, of which he formed a remarkably complete collection; and the capture of a rare specimen was quite an event in his life. In order more deliberately to study the habits of the bee tribe, he had a number of hives constructed for the purpose of enabling him to watch their proceedings without leaving his work; and the pursuit was a source of the greatest pleasure to him. He was a lover of all dumb creatures; his cottage was haunted by birds which flew in and out at his door, and some of them became so tame as to hop up to him and feed out of his hand. "Old Clement" was also a bit of a mechanic, and such of his leisure moments as he did not devote to insect-hunting, were employed in working a lathe of his own construction, which he used to turn his bobbing on, and also in various kinds of amateur mechanics.
His boy Joseph, like other poor men’s sons, was early set to work. He received very little education, and learnt only the merest rudiments of reading and writing at the village school. The rest of his education he gave to himself as he grew older. His father needed his help at the loom, where he worked with him for some years; but, as handloom weaving was gradually being driven out by improved mechanism, the father prudently resolved to put his son to a better trade. They have a saying in Cumberland that when the bairns reach a certain age, they are thrown on to the house-rigg, and that those who stick on are made thatchers of, while those who fall off are sent to St. Bees to be made parsons of. Joseph must have been one of those that stuck on—at all events his father decided to make him a thatcher, afterwards a slater, and he worked at that trade for five years, between eighteen and twenty-three.
The son, like the father, had a strong liking for mechanics, and as the slating trade did not keep him in regular employment, especially in winter time, he had plenty of opportunity for following the bent of his inclinations. He made a friend of the village blacksmith, whose smithy he was accustomed to frequent, and there he learned to work at the forge, to handle the hammer and file, and in a short time to shoe horses with considerable expertness. A cousin of his named Farer, a clock and watchmaker by trade, having returned to the village from London, brought with him some books on mechanics, which he lent to Joseph to read; and they kindled in him an ardent desire to be a mechanic instead of a slater. He nevertheless continued to maintain himself by the latter trade for some time longer, until his skill had grown; and, by way of cultivating it, he determined, with the aid of his friend the village blacksmith, to make a turning-lathe. The two set to work, and the result was the production of an article in every way superior to that made by Clement’s father, which was accordingly displaced to make room for the new machine. It was found to work very satisfactorily, and by its means Joseph proceeded to turn fifes, flutes, clarinets, and hautboys; for to his other accomplishments he joined that of music, and could play upon the instruments that he made. One of his most ambitious efforts was the making of a pair of Northumberland bagpipes, which he finished to his satisfaction, and performed upon to the great delight of the villagers. To assist his father in his entomological studies, he even contrived, with the aid of the descriptions given in the books borrowed from his cousin the watchmaker, to make for him a microscope, from which he proceeded to make a reflecting telescope, which proved a very good instrument. At this early period (1804) he also seems to have directed his attention to screw-making—a branch of mechanics in which he afterwards became famous; and he proceeded to make a pair of very satisfactory die-stocks, though it is said that he had not before seen or even heard of such a contrivance for making screws.
So clever a workman was not likely to remain long a village slater. Although the ingenious pieces of work which he turned out by his lathe did not bring him in much money, he liked the occupation so much better than slating that he was gradually giving up that trade. His father urged him to stick to slating as "a safe thing;" but his own mind was in favour of following his instinct to be a mechanic; and at length he determined to leave his village and seek work in a new line. He succeeded in finding employment in a small factory at Kirby Stephen, a town some thirteen miles from Great Ashby, where he worked at making power-looms. From an old statement of account against his employer which we have seen, in his own handwriting, dated the 6th September, 1805, it appears that his earnings at such work as "fitting the first set of iron loames," "fitting up shittles," and "making moddles," were 3s. 6d. a day; and he must, during the same time, have lived with his employer, who charged him as a set-off "14 weaks bord at 8s. per weak." He afterwards seems to have worked at piece-work in partnership with one Andrew Gamble supplying the materials as well as the workmanship for the looms and shuttles. His employer, Mr. George Dickinson, also seems to have bought his reflecting telescope from him for the sum of 12l.
From Kirby Stephen Clement removed to Carlisle, where he was employed by Forster and Sons during the next two years at the same description of work; and he conducted himself, according; to their certificate on his leaving their employment to proceed to Glasgow in 1807, "with great sobriety and industry, entirely to their satisfaction." While working at Glasgow as a turner, he took lessons in drawing from Peter Nicholson, the well-known writer on carpentry—a highly ingenious man. Nicholson happened to call at the shop at which Clement worked in order to make a drawing of a power-loom; and Clement’s expressions of admiration at his expertness were so enthusiastic, that Nicholson, pleased with the youth’s praise, asked if he could be of service to him in any way. Emboldened by the offer, Clement requested, as the greatest favour he could confer upon him, to have the loan of the drawing he had just made, in order that he might copy it. The request was at once complied with; and Clement, though very poor at the time, and scarcely able to buy candle for the long winter evenings, sat up late every night until he had finished it. Though the first drawing he had ever made, he handed it back to Nicholson instead of the original, and at first the draughtsman did not recognise that the drawing was not his own. When Clement told him that it was only the copy, Nicholson’s brief but emphatic praise was --- "Young man, YOU’LL DO!" Proud to have such a pupil, Nicholson generously offered to give him gratuitous lessons in drawing, which were thankfully accepted; and Clement, working at nights with great ardour, soon made rapid progress, and became an expert draughtsman.
Trade being very slack in Glasgow at the time, Clement, after about a year’s stay in the place, accepted a situation with Messrs. Leys, Masson, and Co., of Aberdeen, with whom he began at a guinea and a half a week, from which he gradually rose to two guineas, and ultimately to three guineas. His principal work consisted in designing and making power-looms for his employers, and fitting them up in different parts of the country. He continued to devote himself to the study of practical mechanics, and made many improvements in the tools with which he worked. While at Glasgow he had made an improved pair of die-stocks for screws; and, at Aberdeen, he made a turning-lathe with a sliding mandrill and guide-screws, for cutting screws, furnished also with the means for correcting guide-screws. In the same machine he introduced a small slide rest, into which he fixed the tool for cutting the screws,—having never before seen a slide rest, though it is very probable he may have heard of what Maudslay had already done in the same direction. Clement continued during this period of his life an industrious self-cultivator, occupying most of his spare hours in mechanical and landscape drawing, and in various studies. Among the papers left behind him we find a ticket to a course of instruction on Natural Philosophy given by Professor Copland in the Marischal College at Aberdeen, which Clement attended in the session of 1812-13; and we do not doubt that our mechanic was among the most diligent of his pupils. Towards the end of 1813, after saving about 100L. out of his wages, Clement resolved to proceed to London for the purpose of improving himself in his trade and pushing his way in the world. The coach by which he travelled set him down in Snow Hill, Holborn; and his first thought was of finding work. He had no friend in town to consult on the matter, so he made inquiry of the coach-guard whether he knew of any person in the mechanical line in that neighbourhood. The guard said, "Yes; there was Alexander Galloway’s show shop, just round the corner, and he employed a large number of hands." Running round the corner, Clement looked in at Galloway’s window, through which he saw some lathes and other articles used in machine shops. Next morning he called upon the owner of the shop to ask employment. "What can you do?" asked Galloway. "I can work at the forge," said Clement. "Anything else?" "I can turn." "What else?" "I can draw." "What!" said Galloway, "can you draw? Then I will engage you." A man who could draw or work to a drawing in those days was regarded as a superior sort of mechanic. Though Galloway was one of the leading tradesmen of his time, and had excellent opportunities for advancement, he missed them all. As Clement afterwards said of him, "He was only a mouthing common-council man, the height of whose ambition was to be an alderman;" and, like most corporation celebrities, he held a low rank in his own business. He very rarely went into his workshops to superintend or direct his workmen, leaving this to his foremen—a sufficient indication of the causes of his failure as a mechanic.*
[footnote... On one occasion Galloway had a cast-iron roof made for his workshop, so flat and so independent of ties that the wonder was that it should have stood an hour. One day Peter Keir, an engineer much employed by the government—a clever man, though some what eccentric—was taken into the shop by Galloway to admire the new roof. Keir, on glancing up at it, immediately exclaimed, "Come outside, and let us speak about it there!" All that he could say to Galloway respecting the unsoundness of its construction was of no avail. The fact was that, however Keir might argue about its not being able to stand, there it was actually standing, and that was enough for Galloway. Keir went home, his mind filled with Galloway’s most unprincipled roof. "If that stands," said he to himself, "all that I have been learning and doing for thirty years has been wrong." That night he could not sleep for thinking about it. In the morning he strolled up Primrose Hill, and returned home still muttering to himself about "that roof." "What, said his wife to him, "are you thinking of Galloway’s roof?" "Yes, said he. "Then you have seen the papers?" "No — what about them?" "Galloway’s roof has fallen in this morning, and killed eight or ten of the men!" Keir immediately went to bed, and slept soundly till next morning.
...]
On entering Galloway’s shop, Clement was first employed in working at the lathe; but finding the tools so bad that it was impossible to execute satisfactory work with them, he at once went to the forge, and began making a new set of tools for himself. The other men, to whom such a proceeding was entirely new, came round him to observe his operations, and they were much struck with his manual dexterity. The tools made, he proceeded to use them, displaying what seemed to the other workmen an unusual degree of energy and intelligence; and some of the old hands did not hesitate already to pronounce Clement to be the best mechanic in the shop. When Saturday night came round, the other men were curious to know what wages Galloway would allow the new hand; and when he had been paid, they asked him. "A guinea," was the reply. "A guinea! Why, you are worth two if you are worth a shilling," said an old man who came out of the rank—an excellent mechanic, who, though comparatively worthless through his devotion to drink, knew Clement’s money value to his employer better than any man there; and he added, "Wait for a week or two, and if you are not better paid than this, I can tell you of a master who will give you a fairer wage." Several Saturdays came round, but no advance was made on the guinea a week; and then the old workman recommended Clement to offer himself to Bramah at Pimlico, who was always on the look out for first-rate mechanics.
Clement acted on the advice, and took with him some of his drawings, at sight of which Bramah immediately engaged him for a month; and at the end of that time he had given so much satisfaction, that it was agreed he should continue for three months longer at two guineas a week. Clement was placed in charge of the tools of the shop, and he showed himself so apt at introducing improvements in them, as well as in organizing the work with a view to despatch and economy, that at the end of the term Bramah made him a handsome present, adding, "if I had secured your services five years since, I would now have been a richer man by many thousands of pounds." A formal agreement for a term of five years was then entered into between Bramah and Clement, dated the 1st of April, 1814, by which the latter undertook to fill the office of chief-draughtsman and superintendent of the Pimlico Works, in consideration of a salary of three guineas a week, with an advance of four shillings a week in each succeeding year of the engagement. This arrangement proved of mutual advantage to both. Clement devoted himself with increased zeal to the improvement of the mechanical arrangements of the concern, exhibiting his ingenuity in many ways, and taking; a genuine pride in upholding the character of his master for turning out first-class work.
On the death of Bramah, his sons returned from college and entered into possession of the business. They found Clement the ruling mind there and grew jealous of him to such an extent that his situation became uncomfortable; and by mutual consent he was allowed to leave before the expiry of his term of agreement. He had no difficulty in finding employment; and was at once taken on as chief draughtsman at Maudslay and Field’s where he was of much assistance in proportioning the early marine engines, for the manufacture of which that firm were becoming celebrated. After a short time, he became desirous of beginning business on his own account as a mechanical engineer. He was encouraged to do this by the Duke of Northumberland, who, being a great lover of mechanics and himself a capital turner, used often to visit Maudslay’s, and thus became acquainted with Clement, whose expertness as a draughtsman and mechanic he greatly admired. Being a man of frugal and sober habits, always keeping his expenditure very considerably within his income, Clement had been enabled to accumulate about 500L., which he thought would be enough for his purpose; and he accordingly proceeded, in 1817, to take a small workshop in Prospect Place, Newington Butts, where he began business as a mechanical draughtsman and manufacturer of small machinery requiring first-class workmanship.
From the time when he took his first gratuitous lessons in drawing from Peter Nicholson, at Glasgow, in 1807, he had been steadily improving in this art, the knowledge of which is indispensable to whoever aspires to eminence as a mechanical engineer,—until by general consent Clement was confessed to stand unrivalled as a draughtsman. Some of the very best drawings contained in the Transactions of the Society of Arts, from the year 1817 downwards,—especially those requiring the delineation of any unusually elaborate piece of machinery,—proceeded from the hand of Clement. In some of these, he reached a degree of truth in mechanical perspective which has never been surpassed.*

(1828), containing a series of elaborate illustrations of his Prize Turning Lathe; and xlviii. 1829, containing illustrations of his Self-adjusting Double Driver Centre Chuck.
...] To facilitate his labours, he invented an extremely ingenious instrument, by means of which ellipses of all proportions, as well as circles and right lines, might be geometrically drawn on paper or on copper. He took his idea of this instrument from the trammel used by carpenters for drawing imperfect ellipses; and when he had succeeded in avoiding the crossing of the points, he proceeded to invent the straight-line motion. For this invention the Society of Arts awarded him their gold medal in 1818. Some years later, he submitted to the same Society his invention of a stand for drawings of large size. He had experienced considerable difficulty in making such drawings, and with his accustomed readiness to overcome obstacles, he forthwith set to work and brought out his new drawing-table.
As with many other original-minded mechanics, invention became a habit with him, and by study and labour he rarely failed in attaining the object which he had bent his mind upon accomplishing. Indeed, nothing pleased him better than to have what he called "a tough job;" as it stimulated his inventive faculty, in the exercise of which he took the highest pleasure. Hence mechanical schemers of all kinds were accustomed to resort to Clement for help when they had found an idea which they desired to embody in a machine. If there was any value in their idea, none could be more ready than he to recognise its merit, and to work it into shape; but if worthless, he spoke out his mind at once, dissuading the projector from wasting upon it further labour or expense.
One of the important branches of practical mechanics to which Clement continued through life to devote himself, was the improvement of self-acting tools, more especially of the slide-lathe. He introduced various improvements in its construction and arrangement, until in his hands it became as nearly perfect as it was possible to be. In 1818, he furnished the lathe with a slide rest twenty-two inches long, for the purpose of cutting screws, provided with the means of self-correction; and some years later, in 1827, the Society of Arts awarded him their gold Isis medal for his improved turning-lathe, which embodied many ingenious contrivances calculated to increase its precision and accuracy in large surface-turning.
The beautiful arrangements embodied in Mr. Clement’s improved lathe can with difficulty be described in words; but its ingenuity may be inferred from a brief statement of the defects which it was invented to remedy, and which it successfully overcame. When the mandrill of a lathe, having a metal plate fixed to it, turns round with a uniform motion, and the slide rest which carries the cutter is moving from the circumference of the work to the centre, it will be obvious that the quantity of metal passing over the edge of the cutter at each revolution, and therefore at equal intervals of time, is continually diminishing, in exact proportion to the spiral line described by the cutter on the face of the work. But in turning metal plates it is found very in expedient to increase the speed of the work beyond a certain quantity; for when this happens, and the tool passes the work at too great a velocity, it heats, softens, and is ground away, the edge of the cutter becomes dull, and the surface of the plate is indented and burnished, instead of being turned. Hence loss of time on the part of the workman, and diminished work on the part of the tool, results which, considering the wages of the one and the capital expended on the construction of the other, are of no small importance; for the prime objects of all improvement of tools are, economy of time and economy of capital—to minimize labour and cost, and maximize result.
The defect to which we have referred was almost the only remaining imperfection in the lathe, and Mr. Clement overcame it by making the machine self-regulating; so that, whatever might be the situation of the cutter, equal quantities of metal should pass over it in equal times,—the speed at the centre not exceeding that suited to the work at the circumference,—while the workman was enabled to convert the varying rate of the mandrill into a uniform one whenever he chose. Thus the expedients of wheels, riggers, and drums, of different diameters, by which it had been endeavoured to alter the speed of the lathe-mandrill, according to the hardness of the metal and the diameter of the thing to be turned, were effectually disposed of. These, though answering very well where cylinders of equal diameter had to be bored, and a uniform motion was all that was required, were found very inefficient where a Plane surface had to be turned; and it was in such cases that Mr. Clement’s lathe was found so valuable. By its means surfaces of unrivalled correctness were produced, and the slide-lathe, so improved, became recognised and adopted as the most accurate and extensively applicable of all machine-tools.
The year after Mr. Clement brought out his improved turning-lathe, he added to it his self-adjusting double driving centre-chuck, for which the Society of Arts awarded him their silver medal in 1828. In introducing this invention to the notice of the Society, Mr. Clement said, "Although I have been in the habit of turning and making turning-lathes and other machinery for upwards of thirty-five years, and have examined the best turning-lathes in the principal manufactories throughout Great Britain, I find it universally regretted by all practical men that they cannot turn anything perfectly true between the centres of the lathe." It was found by experience, that there was a degree of eccentricity, and consequently of imperfection, in the figure of any long cylinder turned while suspended between the centres of the lathe, and made to revolve by the action of a single driver. Under such circumstances the pressure of the tool tended to force the work out of the right line and to distribute the strain between the driver and the adjacent centre, so that one end of the cylinder became eccentric with respect to the other. By Mr. Clement’s invention of the two-armed driver, which was self-adjusting, the strain was taken from the centre and divided between the two arms, which being equidistant from the centre, effectually corrected all eccentricity in the work. This invention was found of great importance in ensuring the true turning of large machinery, which before had been found a matter of considerable difficulty.
In the same year (1828) Mr. Clement began the making of fluted taps and dies, and he established a mechanical practice with reference to the pitch of the screw, which proved of the greatest importance in the economics of manufacture. Before his time, each mechanical engineer adopted a thread of his own; so that when a piece of work came under repair, the screw-hob had usually to be drilled out, and a new thread was introduced according to the usage which prevailed in the shop in which the work was executed. Mr. Clement saw a great waste of labour in this practice, and he promulgated the idea that every screw of a particular length ought to be furnished with its appointed number of threads of a settled pitch. Taking the inch as the basis of his calculations, he determined the number of threads in each case; and the practice thus initiated by him, recommended as it was by convenience and economy, was very shortly adopted throughout the trade. It may be mentioned that one of Clement’s ablest journeymen, Mr. Whitworth, has, since his time, been mainly instrumental in establishing the settled practice; and Whitworth’s thread (initiated by Clement) has become recognised throughout the mechanical world. To carry out his idea, Clement invented his screw-engine lathe, with gearing, mandrill, and sliding-table wheel-work, by means of which he first cut the inside screw-tools from the left-handed hobs—the reverse mode having before been adopted,—while in shaping machines he was the first to use the revolving cutter attached to the slide rest. Then, in 1828, he fluted the taps for the first time with a revolving cutter,—other makers having up to that time only notched them. Among his other inventions in screws may be mentioned his headless tap, which, according to Mr. Nasmyth, is so valuable an invention, that, "if he had done nothing else, it ought to immortalize him among mechanics. It passed right through the hole to be tapped, and was thus enabled to do the duty of three ordinary screws." By these improvements much greater precision was secured in the manufacture of tools and machinery, accompanied by a greatly reduced cost of production; the results of which are felt to this day.
Another of Mr. Clement’s ingenious inventions was his Planing Machine, by means of which metal plates of large dimensions were planed with perfect truth and finished with beautiful accuracy. There is perhaps scarcely a machine about which there has been more controversy than this; and we do not pretend to be able to determine the respective merits of the many able mechanics who have had a hand in its invention. It is exceedingly probable that others besides Clement worked out the problem in their own way, by independent methods; and this is confirmed by the circumstance that though the results achieved by the respective inventors were the same, the methods employed by them were in many respects different. As regards Clement, we find that previous to the year 1820 he had a machine in regular use for planing the triangular bars of lathes and the sides of weaving-looms. This instrument was found so useful and so economical in its working, that Clement proceeded to elaborate a planing machine of a more complete kind, which he finished and set to work in the year 1825. He prepared no model of it, but made it direct from the working drawings; and it was so nicely constructed, that when put together it went without a hitch, and has continued steadily working for more than thirty years down to the present day.
Clement took out no patent for his invention, relying for protection mainly on his own and his workmen’s skill in using it. We therefore find no specification of his machine at the Patent Office, as in the case of most other capital inventions; but a very complete account of it is to be found in the Transactions of the Society of Arts for 1832, as described by Mr. Varley. The practical value of the Planing Machine induced the Society to apply to Mr. Clement for liberty to publish a full description of it; and Mr. Varley’s paper was the result.*
[footnote... Transactions of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, vol. xlix. p.157.
...] It may be briefly stated that this engineer’s plane differs greatly from the carpenter’s plane, the cutter of which is only allowed to project so far as to admit of a thin shaving to be sliced off,—the plane working flat in proportion to the width of the tool, and its length and straightness preventing the cutter from descending into any hollows in the wood. The engineer’s plane more resembles the turning-lathe, of which indeed it is but a modification, working up on the same principle, on flat surfaces. The tools or cutters in Clement’s machine were similar to those used in the lathe, varying in like manner, but performing their work in right lines,—the tool being stationary and the work moving under it, the tool only travelling when making lateral cuts. To save time two cutters were mounted, one to cut the work while going, the other while returning, both being so arranged and held as to be presented to the work in the firmest manner, and with the least possible friction. The bed of the machine, on which the work was laid, passed under the cutters on perfectly true rollers or wheels, lodged and held in their bearings as accurately as the best mandrill could be, and having set-screws acting against their ends totally preventing all end-motion. The machine was bedded on a massive and solid foundation of masonry in heavy blocks, the support at all points being so complete as effectually to destroy all tendency to vibration, with the object of securing full, round, and quiet cuts. The rollers on which the planing-machine travelled were so true, that Clement himself used to say of them, "If you were to put but a paper shaving under one of the rollers, it would at once stop all the rest." Nor was this any exaggeration—the entire mechanism, notwithstanding its great size, being as true and accurate as that of a watch.
By an ingenious adaptation of the apparatus, which will also be found described in the Society of Arts paper, the planing machine might be fitted with a lathe-bed, either to hold two centres, or a head with a suitable mandrill. When so fitted, the machine was enabled to do the work of a turning-lathe, though in a different way, cutting cylinders or cones in their longitudinal direction perfectly straight, as well as solids or prisms of any angle, either by the longitudinal or lateral motion of the cutter; whilst by making the work revolve, it might be turned as in any other lathe. This ingenious machine, as contrived by Mr. Clement, therefore represented a complete union of the turning-lathe with the planing machine and dividing engine, by which turning of the most complicated kind might readily be executed. For ten years after it was set in motion, Clement’s was the only machine of the sort available for planing large work; and being consequently very much in request, it was often kept going night and day,—the earnings by the planing machine alone during that time forming the principal income of its inventor. As it took in a piece of work six feet square, and as his charge for planing was three-halfpence the square inch, or eighteen shillings the square foot, he could thus earn by his machine alone some ten pounds for every day’s work of twelve hours. We may add that since planing machines in various forms have become common in mechanical workshops, the cost of planing does not amount to more than three-halfpence the square foot.
The excellence of Mr. Clement’s tools, and his well-known skill in designing and executing work requiring unusual accuracy and finish, led to his being employed by Mr. Babbage to make his celebrated Calculating or Difference Engine. The contrivance of a machine that should work out complicated sums in arithmetic with perfect precision, was, as may readily be imagined, one of the most difficult feats of the mechanical intellect. To do this was in an especial sense to stamp matter with the impress of mind, and render it subservient to the highest thinking faculty. Attempts had been made at an early period to perform arithmetical calculations by mechanical aids more rapidly and precisely than it was possible to do by the operations of the individual mind. The preparation of arithmetical tables of high numbers involved a vast deal of labour, and even with the greatest care errors were unavoidable and numerous. Thus in a multipltcation-table prepared by a man so eminent as Dr. Hutton for the Board of Longitude, no fewer than forty errors were discovered in a single page taken at random. In the tables of the Nautical Almanac, where the greatest possible precision was desirable and necessary, more than five hundred errors were detected by one person; and the Tables of the Board of Longitude were found equally incorrect. But such errors were impossible to be avoided so long as the ordinary modes of calculating, transcribing, and printing continued in use.
The earliest and simplest form of calculating apparatus was that employed by the schoolboys of ancient Greece, called the Abacus; consisting of a smooth board with a narrow rim, on which they were taught to compute by means of progressive rows of pebbles, bits of bone or ivory, or pieces of silver coin, used as counters. The same board, strewn over with sand, was used for teaching the rudiments of writing and the principles of geometry. The Romans subsequently adopted the Abacus, dividing it by means of perpendicular lines or bars, and from the designation of calculus which they gave to each pebble or counter employed on the board, we have derived our English word to calculate. The same instrument continued to be employed during the middle ages, and the table used by the English Court of Exchequer was but a modified form of the Greek Abacus, the chequered lines across it giving the designation to the Court, which still survives. Tallies, from the French word tailler to cut, were another of the mechanical methods employed to record computations, though in a very rude way. Step by step improvements were made; the most important being that invented by Napier of Merchiston, the inventor of logarithms, commonly called Napier’s bones, consisting of a number of rods divided into ten equal squares and numbered, so that the whole when placed together formed the common multiplication table. By these means various operations in multiplication and division were performed. Sir Samuel Morland, Gunter, and Lamb introduced other contrivances, applicable to trigonometry; Gunter’s scale being still in common use. The calculating machines of Gersten and Pascal were of a different kind, working out arithmetical calculations by means of trains of wheels and other arrangements; and that contrived by Lord Stanhope for the purpose of verifying his calculations with respect to the National Debt was of like character. But none of these will bear for a moment to be compared with the machine designed by Mr. Babbage for performing arithmetical calculations and mathematical analyses, as well as for recording the calculations when made, thereby getting rid entirely of individual error in the operations of calculation, transcription, and printing.
The French government, in their desire to promote the extension of the decimal system, had ordered the construction of logarithmical tables of vast extent; but the great labour and expense involved in the undertaking prevented the design from being carried out. It was reserved for Mr. Babbage to develope the idea by means of a machine which he called the Difference Engine. This machine is of so complicated a character that it would be impossible for us to give any intelligible description of it in words . Although Dr. Lardner was unrivalled in the art of describing mechanism, he occupied twenty-five pages of the ’Edinburgh Review’ (vol.59) in endeavouring to describe its action, and there were several features in it which he gave up as hopeless. Some parts of the apparatus and modes of action are indeed extraordinary and perhaps none more so than that for ensuring accuracy in the calculated results,—the machine actually correcting itself, and rubbing itself back into accuracy, when the disposition to err occurs, by the friction of the adjacent machinery! When an error is made, the wheels become locked and refuse to proceed; thus the machine must go rightly or not at all,—an arrangement as nearly resembling volition as anything that brass and steel are likely to accomplish.
This intricate subject was taken up by Mr. Babbage in 1821, when he undertook to superintend for the British government the construction of a machine for calculating and printing mathematical and astronomical tables. The model first constructed to illustrate the nature of his invention produced figures at the rate of 44 a minute. In 1823 the Royal Society was requested to report upon the invention, and after full inquiry the committee recommended it as one highly deserving of public encouragement. A sum of 1500L. was then placed at Mr. Babbage’s disposal by the Lords of the Treasury for the purpose of enabling him to perfect his invention. It was at this time that he engaged Mr. Clement as draughtsman and mechanic to embody his ideas in a working machine. Numerous tools were expressly contrived by the latter for executing the several parts, and workmen were specially educated for the purpose of using them. Some idea of the elaborate character of the drawings may be formed from the fact that those required for the calculating machinery alone—not to mention the printing machinery, which was almost equally elaborate—covered not less than four hundred square feet of surface! The cost of executing the calculating machine was of course very great, and the progress of the work was necessarily slow. The consequence was that the government first became impatient, and then began to grumble at the expense. At the end of seven years the engineer’s bills alone were found to amount to nearly 7200L., and Mr. Babbage’s costs out of pocket to 7000L. more. In order to make more satisfactory progress, it was determined to remove the works to the neighbourhood of Mr. Babbage’s own residence; but as Clement’s claims for conducting the operations in the new premises were thought exorbitant, and as he himself considered that the work did not yield him the average profit of ordinary employment in his own trade, he eventually withdrew from the enterprise, taking with him the tools which he had constructed for executing the machine. The government also shortly after withdrew from it, and from that time the scheme was suspended, the Calculating Engine remaining a beautiful but unfinished fragment of a great work. Though originally intended to go as far as twenty figures, it was only completed to the extent of being capable of calculating to the depth of five figures, and two orders of differences; and only a small part of the proposed printing machinery was ever made. The engine was placed in the museum of King’s College in 1843, enclosed in a glass case, until the year 1862, when it was removed for a time to the Great Exhibition, where it formed perhaps the most remarkable and beautifully executed piece of mechanism the combined result of intellectual and mechanical contrivance—in the entire collection.*
[footnote... A complete account of the calculating machine, as well as of an analytical engine afterwards contrived by Mr. Babbage, of still greater power than the other, will be found in the Bibliotheque Universelle de Geneve, of which a translation into English, with copious original notes, by the late Lady Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, was published in the 3rd vol. of Taylor’s Scientific Memoirs (London, 1843). A history of the machine, and of the circumstances connected with its construction, will also be found in Weld’s History of the Royal Society, vol. ii. 369-391. It remains to be added, that the perusal by Messrs. Scheutz of Stockholm of Dr. Lardner’s account of Mr. Babbage’s engine in the Edinburgh Review, led those clever mechanics to enter upon the scheme of constructing and completing it, and the result is, that their machine not only calculates the tables, but prints the results. It took them nearly twenty years to perfect it, but when completed the machine seemed to be almost capable of thinking. The original was exhibited at the Paris Exhibition of 1855. A copy of it has since been secured by the English government at a cost of 1200L., and it is now busily employed at Somerset House in working out annuity and other tables for the Registrar-General. The copy was constructed, with several admirable improvements, by the Messrs. Donkin, the well-known mechanical engineers, after the working drawings of the Messrs. Scheutz.
Clement was on various other occasions invited to undertake work requiring extra skill, which other mechanics were unwilling or unable to execute. He was thus always full of employment, never being under the necessity of canvassing for customers. He was almost constantly in his workshop, in which he took great pride. His dwelling was over the office in the yard, and it was with difficulty he could be induced to leave the premises. On one occasion Mr. Brunel of the Great Western Railway called upon him to ask if he could supply him with a superior steam-whistle for his locomotives, the whistles which they were using giving forth very little sound. Clement examined the specimen brought by Brunel, and pronounced it to be "mere tallow-chandler’s work." He undertook to supply a proper article, and after his usual fashion he proceeded to contrive a machine or tool for the express purpose of making steam-whistles. They were made and supplied, and when mounted on the locomotive the effect was indeed "screaming." They were heard miles off, and Brunel, delighted, ordered a hundred. But when the bill came in, it was found that the charge made for them was very high—as much as 40L. the set. The company demurred at the price,—Brunel declaring it to be six times more than the price they had before been paying. "That may be;" rejoined Clement, "but mine are more than six times better. You ordered a first-rate article, and you must be content to pay for it." The matter was referred to an arbitrator, who awarded the full sum claimed. Mr. Weld mentions a similar case of an order which Clement received from America to make a large screw of given dimensions "in the best possible manner," and he accordingly proceeded to make one with the greatest mathematical accuracy. But his bill amounted to some hundreds of pounds, which completely staggered the American, who did not calculate on having to pay more than 20L. at the utmost for the screw. The matter was, however, referred to arbitrators, who gave their decision, as in the former case, in favour of the mechanic.*
[footnote... History of the Royal Society, ii. 374.
One of the last works which Clement executed as a matter of pleasure, was the building of an organ for his own use. It will be remembered that when working as a slater at Great Ashby, he had made flutes and clarinets, and now in his old age he determined to try his skill at making an organ—in his opinion the king of musical instruments. The building of it became his hobby, and his greatest delight was in superintending its progress. It cost him about two thousand pounds in labour alone, but he lived to finish it, and we have been informed that it was pronounced a very excellent instrument.
Clement was a heavy-browed man, without any polish of manner or speech; for to the last he continued to use his strong Westmoreland dialect. He was not educated in a literary sense; for he read but little, and could write with difficulty. He was eminently a mechanic, and had achieved his exquisite skill by observation, experience, and reflection. His head was a complete repertory of inventions, on which he was constantly drawing for the improvement of mechanical practice. Though he had never more than thirty workmen in his factory, they were all of the first class; and the example which Clement set before them of extreme carefulness and accuracy in execution rendered his shop one of the best schools of its time for the training of thoroughly accomplished mechanics. Mr. Clement died in 1844, in his sixty-fifth year; after which his works were carried on by Mr. Wilkinson, one of his nephews; and his planing machine still continues in useful work.

How to Avoid Gas Shortages in the European Union in 2023
Full Title: How to Avoid Gas Shortages in the European Union in 2023
Author(s): International Energy Agency
European and global natural gas markets are not yet out of the danger created by Russia’s cuts to pipeline deliveries of gas. If gas exports from Russia drop to zero and China’s LNG imports rebound to 2021 levels, there is a risk of a shortfall gas supplies in 2023. Measures already taken by EU governments on energy efficiency, renewables and heat pumps should help reduce the size of this potential natural gas supply-demand gap in 2023. A recovery in nuclear and hydropower output from their decade-low levels in 2022 should also help narrow the gap. Despite all of this, the EU’s potential gas supply-demand gap could reach 27 billion cubic metres in 2023.
This new report provides the IEA’s latest analysis of the extent of the EU’s potential gas supply-demand gap in 2023 and sets out the practical actions that can close that gap while avoiding excessive strains for European consumers and for international markets. The analysis includes real-world examples of measures that could be implemented and quantifies their impacts. The measures offer a pathway to a more secure and balanced EU gas market in 2023 and are consistent with the EU’s climate goals. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1458 | {"url": "https://www.ourenergypolicy.org/resources/avoid-gas-shortages-eu-2023/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.ourenergypolicy.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:17:15Z", "digest": "sha1:ZZSDNTHDX2GSXL5SCRDY6BKUSM4TMEKE"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1328, 1328.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1328, 2465.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1328, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1328, 39.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1328, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1328, 258.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1328, 0.37065637]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1328, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1328, 0.08463661]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1328, 0.17479301]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1328, 0.14719411]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1328, 0.08463661]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1328, 0.08463661]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1328, 0.08463661]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1328, 0.03863845]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1328, 0.04967801]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1328, 0.02391904]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1328, 0.03088803]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1328, 0.13513514]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1328, 0.54954955]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1328, 4.8963964]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1328, 4.44470447]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1328, 222.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 126, 0.0], [126, 165, 0.0], [165, 827, 1.0], [827, 1328, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 126, 0.0], [126, 165, 0.0], [165, 827, 0.0], [827, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 57, 11.0], [57, 126, 13.0], [126, 165, 4.0], [165, 827, 113.0], [827, 1328, 81.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.07142857], [57, 126, 0.05970149], [126, 165, 0.0], [165, 827, 0.03384615], [827, 1328, 0.01612903]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 126, 0.0], [126, 165, 0.0], [165, 827, 0.0], [827, 1328, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.10526316], [57, 126, 0.11594203], [126, 165, 0.1025641], [165, 827, 0.02265861], [827, 1328, 0.0259481]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1328, 0.0642705]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1328, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1328, 0.94836676]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1328, -92.59026237]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1328, 28.1489136]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1328, -35.80491373]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1328, 8.0]]} |

Toilet innards are cheap crap that lasted 6 months
« on: Monday, March 14, 2016, 09:23:50 AM »
My mom learned the adage "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" the hard way. She had a plumber come in to inspect everything and make sure it was working as well as it should. We had done business with him for many years, but this time he brought his idiot son with him, who decided that the hefty all-metal mechanism that had worked in this toilet for decades had to be replaced with this cheap plastic garbage. By the time I saw what was happening, it was too late.
What happened is the flapper started hanging on the hollow vertical tube it's attached to. I tried filing down the joint where it was hanging, and that worked for a bit, then it started hanging again. Then I realized what was happening is that the flapper piece itself was shrinking alarmingly fast, and now doesn't even align properly with the drain hole anymore. So the toilet will run every so often to replace the water that leaks through the improperly sealed drain.
What I want to know is if high-quality standard-toilet mechanisms are still made, and whether I can buy them and just hire someone to install precisely what I want them to install. I'm thinking GPW here, but anyone who knows more about this stuff than I do (and since I can trust everyone here) is more than welcome to give me some feedback.
Edit: I checked online and realized I can probably replace just the flapper piece itself. The toilet is an American Standard. There's still so much I don't know, though, and all the mechanisms I see are these same compact plasticky things. Damn it. Why has everything gotten so cheap (and not in a good way)?

From what I understand, there's a complicated answer to that question, and probably more than one. But knowing several people in plumbing and talking about changes to the business, there are a variety of initiatives forcing parts changes and such in various ways, both from companies and from government. It's led one guy I know to get so fed up he just up and quit, and is now a janitor at a school. If that tells you anything. I wouldn't get your hopes up that this is going to improve. It's pretty unfortunate, but I think the bottom line is these things are just always cheaper to produce.

I've replaced many toilet innards. There seem to be two types: a sort of plunger that covers the hole and a floating flap. I've had varying levels of success and failure with both. I've had trouble with the floating flap not floating long enough and not completing the flush. I've had trouble with the plunger not sufficiently sealing off the hole.
In any case, the innards are so cheap and they generally last long enough that replacing them isn't that big a deal to me. It should last way longer than six months though. It should last at least two or three years.
As far as it being cheap, it's just the way of the U.S.A. now. Everyone wants to buy the cheapest crap. It's gotten so bad that it can actually be hard to find a shower head that doesn't use plastic with fake chrome on it somewhere instead of actual metal. Most people just don't seem to value quality, or if they do, they aren't willing to pay for it and it's been such a trend that quality items aren't even available in many cases.
Yeah, my online searches are quite depressing. I was hoping someone knew of a way to the better parts, like they used to be, even if I have to import them from Switzerland or something. Then I can hire someone to install them. I can replace the flapper if that's all that's worth doing at this point. (I will probably do that anyway, and buy 2-3 of them together, since I guess they're like light bulbs now.)
Thanks for the feedback, guys.
Edit: Scott, I think the flapper is what you called the floating flap. At least that's simple to replace by itself.

I JUST realised that this section of the forum existed. Did you get this sorted out?
Well, I jury-rigged it a bit. I lengthened the chain from the handle to the flapper as far as it would go (to the last link). Now it can't pull the flapper high enough to hang on the joint I mentioned above. It still leaks a bit around the seal, though. I just need to get myself to a hardware store and get a replacement flapper. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1459 | {"url": "https://www.overwritten.net/forum/index.php?topic=9752.0", "partition":

Panacea Insights
Now, while it may be easier to learn about the current state of our physical health, the same cannot be said for our mental well-being. Most people go through life without ever realizing they need help to sort out their emotional traumas, anger, or fears. Many of us face instability from deep-rooted insecurities. To achieve our greatest potential we have to become one with our emotions, body, and mind. So, to be healthy and balanced, we must build positive habits and nurture our social connections.
Panacea will teach you how to get in tune with your body, be at one with your mind, and gain control of your emotions through Ashtanga Yoga. We will also give you insights on how to care for your body so that you can learn to appreciate the value of your life.

An organized approach to improve our physical and psychological well-being is needed now more than ever to set ourselves up for success in the long run.
At Panacea, we hope to encourage everyone towards a healthier diet that includes organic foods and dietary supplements to boost inherent body strength.

With the help of exercises and gadgets, it is easy to learn about physical health, but it does not apply to mental well-being. Most people go through life without realizing they need help to sort out their emotional traumas, anger, or fears. As a result, many people encounter instability from deep-rooted insecurities. We have to unite with our emotions, body, and mind to achieve our true potential. So, to be healthy and live a well-balanced life, we must build positive habits and nurture social connections.
At Panacea, we have adopted a unique approach that will teach how to tune with the body, unite with the mind, and gain control of emotions through Yoga and meditation. In addition, the system will provide insights on how to take care of the body and learn to appreciate the value of your life.
The past two years altered the way we live and retain our well-being. Lives changed, lives were lost, and lifestyle went topsy-turvy. The situations are grim, and it is up to us to maintain our physical and mental health.
To make the system successful and beneficial to every individual, we form different groups, set specific rules, and add innovative solutions, and the most important is the no-nonsense approach.
The system is for everyone, and by following the rules, everyone benefits. It empowers people who want to change, work hard, focus on creating an impact, and embrace honesty and integrity.
The Panacea Project is for everyone, and the only condition is - Are you ready to change?
Ready to change? Connect with us today!
For this reason precisely our new mantra is “ HAPPY BREATHING ”
“Without mental health, there can be no true physical health”

Paris Hilton to perform next year!
Paris Hilton recently told OK! magazine: “Recording is going amazing. My new album is inspired by Kylie Minogue. I wrote all the songs myself. I will be performing next year.”
In other news, Paris will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on October 30, but I don’t know if it’s a rerun!

So I can assume we can be hearing about a comeback single soon?
Time: October 29, 2009, 6:32 pm
Well she’s already confirmed her first single from the album will be coming out around Christmas.
She also said the album was coming out in the (northen hemisphere) summer (;
haha.
well I just want her to do an acoustic set. Stars Are Blind was made to be sung with just the singer and an acoustic guitar. She better not lip synch, a backing track is fine but I want her to do it live.
Well, when she did the small performances in clubs & such when she first launced Heiress Records, (she sang Screwed, Fame & Heart of Glass) she didn’t sync, she would sing live & sounded very good!
OK mag is not a very reliable source for anything.
True, but the quote doesn’t seem to be a fake one. 😉 | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1461 | {"url": "https://www.parishiltonsite.net/paris-hilton-to-perform-next-year/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.parishiltonsite.net", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:54:25Z", "digest": "sha1:X6NT7LIGIUGLV2F3CTN3MRQSHMFL4A5Z"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1143, 1143.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1143, 2276.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1143, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1143, 76.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1143, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1143, 335.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1143, 0.39405204]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1143, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1143, 0.02491506]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1143, 0.02944507]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1143, 0.0385051]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1143, 0.03345725]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1143, 0.21561338]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1143, 0.6635514]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1143, 4.12616822]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1143, 4.76858792]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1143, 214.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 35, 1.0], [35, 211, 1.0], [211, 314, 1.0], [314, 327, 0.0], [327, 360, 0.0], [360, 424, 1.0], [424, 456, 0.0], [456, 554, 1.0], [554, 631, 0.0], [631, 637, 1.0], [637, 842, 1.0], [842, 1040, 1.0], [1040, 1091, 1.0], [1091, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 211, 0.0], [211, 314, 0.0], [314, 327, 0.0], [327, 360, 0.0], [360, 424, 0.0], [424, 456, 0.0], [456, 554, 0.0], [554, 631, 0.0], [631, 637, 0.0], [637, 842, 0.0], [842, 1040, 0.0], [1040, 1091, 0.0], [1091, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 35, 6.0], [35, 211, 30.0], [211, 314, 21.0], [314, 327, 3.0], [327, 360, 6.0], [360, 424, 13.0], [424, 456, 6.0], [456, 554, 16.0], [554, 631, 13.0], [631, 637, 1.0], [637, 842, 44.0], [842, 1040, 33.0], [1040, 1091, 10.0], [1091, 1143, 12.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 211, 0.0], [211, 314, 0.02020202], [314, 327, 0.0], [327, 360, 0.35714286], [360, 424, 0.0], [424, 456, 0.33333333], [456, 554, 0.0], [554, 631, 0.0], [631, 637, 0.0], [637, 842, 0.0], [842, 1040, 0.0], [1040, 1091, 0.0], [1091, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 35, 0.0], [35, 211, 0.0], [211, 314, 0.0], [314, 327, 0.0], [327, 360, 0.0], [360, 424, 0.0], [424, 456, 0.0], [456, 554, 0.0], [554, 631, 0.0], [631, 637, 0.0], [637, 842, 0.0], [842, 1040, 0.0], [1040, 1091, 0.0], [1091, 1143, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 35, 0.05714286], [35, 211, 0.05681818], [211, 314, 0.06796117], [314, 327, 0.23076923], [327, 360, 0.06060606], [360, 424, 0.03125], [424, 456, 0.0625], [456, 554, 0.02040816], [554, 631, 0.01298701], [631, 637, 0.0], [637, 842, 0.02926829], [842, 1040, 0.03535354], [1040, 1091, 0.03921569], [1091, 1143, 0.01923077]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1143, 0.08511895]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1143, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1143, 0.40835917]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1143, -66.09681822]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1143, -8.5442354]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1143, -116.56006995]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1143, 16.0]]} |
Getting the Best Deals in an Outlet Mall
March 9, 2022 /0 Comments/in Blog /by FDM Support
Considering the devastating impact of the pandemic on the global economy, it goes without saying that tightening your purse is a wise thing to do. This doesn’t mean, however, that you shouldn’t enjoy the fruits of your labor and stop going shopping. You can still go to your favorite outlet mall and purchase items from your favorite retail stores but, especially these days, you have to do it wisely.
In this specific case, overspending is the enemy and thriftiness is the ally. Of course, spending wisely involves more than just avoiding buying items that you don’t particularly need. One very important tactic you can consider is to find discounts and sales promos in an outlet mall. Here are a few tips you need to remember when looking for the best deals in your favorite retail locations.
Whenever you fancy an item from a store like a designer bag or a pair of sturdy running shoes, it’s best to take a quick look at the quality of these items. Of course, a large part of reviewing its quality is purchasing it. But given that you’re trying to save more money, it makes sense to look at other people’s reviews of the item.
Take a look at its reviews from online merchants like Lazada or Shoppee. See how consumers rate it and make a judgment call. If the item is in a local retail store, pay a quick visit and check its quality. If it’s something that you can fit (like shoes or clothes), see if you’re comfortable with it.
After doing this thorough review, you can go ahead and purchase it. If however you feel like it’s too expensive, you can just go ahead and forego the item or just wait for a sale.
Follow Online Forums And Facebook Groups
Apart from online merchants and shopping apps, you can also utilize other places on the Internet for research purposes. Online forums and Facebook groups are great sources of reviews and opinions on released products and established brands.
There exist communities online that revolve around different products and can become excellent sources of review information. All you need to do is type in the name of a brand (or something more common like “running shoes” or “designer bags”) in the Facebook Search bar and click on the Group options in the left side of the search results screen. You can do the same with Google except it mostly caters to forums and Reddit groups. Afterwards, you just need to look through the posts and see if the questions being asked are the same ones you have to verify if it’s a group worth joining and investing time in.
Stay Updated With Discounts And Promos
When it comes to waiting for sales and promos that will help you make the most out of your purchase, nothing helps you more than the brands themselves. So it makes sense to keep track of whatever news or releases they have that you can take advantage of.
The first thing you can do is to follow these brands on social media. Normally, brands publish updates about their products or services on a regular basis. These updates may include sales promos, discounts and other several events that can help you save money and, at the same time, get the products you want.
You can also follow the social media pages of local outlet malls and retail stores. Apart from publishing branch-related events, they also publish dates of sales promotions and discount deals for their retail partners.
The secret to getting more exclusive deals though is by signing up to their respective Newsletters. Not only will you be getting regular updates on their events and offerings, you also get deals and sales promos that might otherwise be missed in social media.
Find The Right Outlet Mall
Of course, while the Internet is a very valuable asset to have when looking for reviews about items you’d like to buy, it only comes second to being in the physical store itself. After all, you get to touch and fit these products for yourself, giving you a more first-person experience that only you yourself can judge accurately.
Even better if the outlet mall you frequent during the weekends always has a sale going on. Enter Paseo Outlets, the Philippines biggest and most prestigious retail destination developed by Greenfield Development Corporation. With sales and discount promos going on everyday that range from 20% to 70%, you’re bound to find a good deal for clothing, shoes, bags, furniture, luggage and much more.

You can also follow its Viber Community to get real time updates and notifications of these events.

The most important function of virtualization is the capability of running multiple operating systems and applications on a single computer or server. Virtualization can improve overall application performance due to technology that can balance resources, and provide only what the user needs. Furthermore, because servers managed by each business division’s staff can be centrally managed by a single administrator, operation management costs can be greatly reduced.
An IT strategy plan is a guiding document for a company’s IT organization. It defines the overall goals, the strategies that support those goals, and the tactics that are needed to execute those strategies. Each section of the IT strategy plan focuses on one strategy and describes specific activities needed to implement that strategy. Think of it as a high-level project plan for realizing a strategy.
IT security prevents malicious threats and potential security breaches that can have a huge impact on your organization. When you enter your internal company network, IT security helps ensure only authorized users can access and make changes to sensitive information that resides there. IT security works to ensure the confidentiality of your organization’s data.
IT security and compliance is a serious concern for many businesses and organizations. In IT, compliance is a set of digital security requirements and practices. Following compliance requirements is a way to ensure that a company’s business processes are secure and that sensitive data (including customers’ data) won’t be accessed by unauthorized parties. Sometimes compliance is a legal requirement for a certain industry (HIPAA), and sometimes it’s an IT security standard (ISO).
Capacity planning lets businesses know how and when to scale, identify bottlenecks, create better design capacity, and mitigate risk, within a planned period of time. Capacity planning provides you with access to relevant data, helping you make informed decisions when it comes to taking on new projects, hiring new staff, or adapting to changing market conditions.
Protect access to resources and data using strong authentication and risk-based adaptive access policies without compromising user experience.

July 2015 Pittsburgh Penguins Top 25 under 25 Rankings: 25-20
Taking a look at the best players under 25 years old in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. We start the countdown with #25-20.
By Hooks Orpik Aug 4, 2015, 10:54am EDT
Share All sharing options for: July 2015 Pittsburgh Penguins Top 25 under 25 Rankings: 25-20
Welcome to the beginning of Summer 2015's annual countdown of the top 25 Pittsburgh Penguins players under 25. Anyone in the organization, from unsigned collegiate draft picks down to NHL stars are eligible to be ranked, so long as they meet the age requirement. With hockey being a young man's game, it's always interesting to rank and keep track of the future. Last summer's ranking is in parenthesis.
#25 (#25) Matia Marcantuoni, C/RW, 21 years old, Wilkes-Barre Scranton (AHL)
The speedy Marcantuoni retains his 25th position in the rankings this summer, after a fairly unimpressive rookie season. With many rookie AHL forwards, Marcantuoni got off to a slow start (0 goals in his first 19 AHL games) and was eventually bounced back and forth from Wheeling of the ECHL to find some playing time. He played better in the AHL as the season went along, and often times one of the biggest jumps in development happens from first to the second season of professional hockey. 2015-16 will probably be a make or break year for Marcantuoni, who still is a very young player. If this player has any sort of longshot NHL potential, he definitely needs to make a big impression and carve out a serious niche in WB/S this season.
#24 (NR) Blaine Byron, C/LW, 20 years old, University of Maine (rising Junior)
Byron, a 6th round pick in 2013, had a great sophomore season at Maine, taking steps forward in goals (from 8 to 12), assists (from 8 to 15) and points (16 up to 27). Unlike a lot of players in the system, he's a skill forward with really good hands. For that reason, he stands out, and as the Trib's Jonathan Bombulie noted after 2015 prospect camp last month: "[Byron] looks bigger than the 6-0, 172 he’s listed at. He’s a clever stick-handler and he protects the puck well in traffic." Byron will return to Maine this fall for his junior season, and with another step-forward season he should be a candidate to turn pro for 2016-17.
#23 (#22) Reid McNeill, Defenseman, 23 years old Wilkes-Barre (AHL)
In his third season as a pro, McNeill played 55 games in the AHL scoring 2 goals and adding 5 assists. Modest offensive numbers are to be expected for this 6'3, 210 pound defensive defenseman that's something of a dying breed in pro hockey. McNeill set a career high with 120 penalty minutes, including 7 fighting majors. McNeil is a good hard-nosed, AHL level defenseman, but beyond that does he offer anything more? The Penguins used 13 NHL defensemen last season and McNeill never really seemed to be on the radar for a call-up. With the team adding Tim Erixon, Adam Clendening, David Warofsky and Steve Oleksey this summer, the WB/S blueline will be crowded. There's always a place for a big, angry defenseman, but McNeill is risked at getting lost in the shuffle yet again.
#22 (#11) Anton Zlobin, Left Winger, 22 years old, Wilkes-Barre (AHL)
Zlobin takes a big dive in the rankings after only playing 6 games in the AHL before his season ended due to a major shoulder surgery. Really tough break for a player to lose out on much of his Age 21 and 22 development, and the timing seemed especially cruel for Zlobin who played very well in the 2014 playoffs (10 points in 15 games) and was generating buzz for his future. Bombulie had the following note from last month's camp: "He looked rusty and a bit unsure of himself coming off shoulder surgery, but there’s something there, a maturity and confidence about his game. He’s been hurt a lot, but I don’t think he should be written off just yet."
We haven't written him off completely yet either, but this is the last year of his entry level contract and is a very critical year for Zlobin to get his professional career back on track in the Pittsburgh organization.
#21 (#21) Tom Kuhnhackl, Right Winger, 23 years old, Wilkes-Barre (AHL)
Quite the career track for the former Penguins 4th round 2010 draft pick. Kuhnhackl had his best season to date in 2014-15, setting career highs in the AHL for games played (72) goals (12), assists (18) and points (30). More impressively was how he did it- reinventing himself from his past as mainly a scoring winger, to turn into an grinder/energy player on what became a very effective 3rd line in WB/S with Dominik Uher and Carter Rowney. Kuhnhackl's season was enough to earn him another contract for this season. He could be a dark horse injury call-up to the NHL this season, should he get off to a good start down in the minors, now that he's showing that he can excel in a lower line role and play more of a two-way game.
#20 (#18) Dominik Uher, Left Winger, 22 years old, Wilkes-Barre (AHL)
Uher in a regular season game, December 2014. (USA Today)
Ironically, Uher had a fine 2014-15 campaign, but ended up dropping in this summer's Top 25. Uher made his NHL debut (scoreless in 2 games) during a particularly injury/mumps plagued portion of the season. Uher also improved his AHL stats going from 7 to 13 goals and 23 to 26 points down in WB/S. Uher is a good, hard-working, honest type of winger. He's far from a game-breaker, but he can eat some minutes and is good along the walls and at winning pucks. He started his pro career at a very young age (this is the beiginning of his 3rd season), and should be under consideration for an NHL call-up during the season if Pittsburgh needs a prototypical hard-working, physical 4th line winger.
Can Uher produce more points in the AHL? His ceiling seems about reached as a grinder who probably isn't good or consistent enough for full-time NHL play. But, as we said, he's still a very young player and may have some more development in him. Proving he can produce more in the AHL could open some eyes and earn him another shot at the NHL.

5 Simple Steps to Loving What You Do
Do you remember why you chose to become a mental health professional? Was it all those friends that you talked through crisis in high school? Or how about the counselor that helped you navigate a crisis? Or maybe like some of us you just found yourself in the field by default…something like, what else can I study that seems interesting?
Reflecting on what brought you to this profession is an important guide when it comes to making fulfilling career choices.
Most of the cases of burn out I see are mental health professionals that are NOT doing the kind of work that they joined the field to do. Either they are seeing clients they don’t enjoy, working in a bureaucracy they don’t respect or not incorporating enough self care to really be present with their work. Either way, I am convinced that it doesn’t have to be that way.
It is possible and even desirable to search out or create career opportunities that resonate with who you are and what you want to do on a core level. So…having had a moment of step by step thinking, I thought I would share a few insights on how to make this happen in your career life.
1. GET TO KNOW YOURSELF
Until you reconnect with why you joined the field, you won’t be able to make choices from that awareness. Truthfully, you may have changed and grown since that first choice to become a mental health professional, so it may even be worthwhile to look at what drew you then and what draws you now. Don’t skip or skimp on this step, this is your inspiration.
2. EVALUATE YOUR SELF CARE
If you are not taking good care of yourself and doing your own work, you will not experience career fulfillment no matter how perfect your work situation is. Consider it this way, “wherever you go, there you are”….including in your work life. If you are unhappy in your life, that will translate into work. Instead of letting the blame rest with work, be brave enough to find the true source of your unhappiness and get started on a journey towards living the life you want to live.
Examine every area of your life and be willing to take personal responsibility for what ever your see that you don’t like. Even if it seems overwhelming at first…take small steps towards making a difference in your own life. Your family, your clients, your friends and most of all YOU will thank you!
3. EXAMINE YOUR CURRENT CAREER STATE
Take an honest look at the work you do. Do you respect it, do you think it makes a difference in people’s lives? Does your company operate in integrity, can you feel proud of what you do and of your coworkers?
Notice, I didn’t start this conversation with questions about how much you earn. Truth be told, once your needs are met these other questions are so much more relevant. If you can’t feel good about the work you do, who you do it with or the difference you make…a few dollars pay raise won’t make a difference. True fulfillment is about building a life you can respect…from home to work and all points between.
4. DREAM A NEW POSSIBILITY
If you don’t love it, start envisioning what you would. This is not the time to think practicality…this is the time to really feel free and imagine yourself without limits and constraints, able to hand pick the perfect work experience. Until you can at least honestly conceive of what you would want to be doing, how can you ever hope to recognize the right opportunities when they come.
Let yourself dream. See what you come up with. In our field, the options really can be limitless. I personally know of mental health professionals that are also songwriters, public speakers, nutritionists, financial experts, authors, personal trainers and jewelry makers…the list goes on. They have all fused these aspects of themselves into their work. You can do the same..Anything is Possible!
5. TAKE STEPS TOWARDS MAKING IT HAPPEN
Now, this my friend, is where the rubber meets the road. This is the time when you have to begin to take action to create what you want to see. There is a wonderful book, The War of Art by S. Pressfield, that describes the journey of creating your life’s work so beautifully. In this book, he personifies “Resistance” and continually speaks about how it can show up in your life and stand between you and the full expression of your unique professional capacity.
In building a career life that you love, there will undoubtedly be moments of challenge, uncertainty and disappointment…but if you are on the right track there will also be excitement, inspiration and connections with beautiful and intriguing people. Commit yourself to a path that will lead to personalized career fulfillment, your clients and the lives you will impact are waiting for you!

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation (PECON) is a scientific journal devoted to improving theoretical and conceptual aspects of conservation science. It has the main purpose of communicating new research and advances to different actors of society, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners, and policymakers. Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation publishes original papers on biodiversity conservation and restoration, on the main drivers affecting native ecosystems, and on nature¿s benefits to people and human wellbeing. This scope includes studies on biodiversity patterns, the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, biological invasion and climate change on biodiversity, conservation genetics, spatial conservation planning, ecosystem management, ecosystem services, sustainability and resilience of socio-ecological systems, conservation policy, among others.
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation is the official scientific journal of the Brazilian Association for Ecological Science and Conservation. It is an open access journal, supported by the Boticário Group Foundation for Nature Protection, and thus without any charge for authors. Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation was previously published, between 2003 and 2016, as 'Natureza & Conservação'.

The use of species richness and range size is useful to identify priority regions for the conservation of phyllostomid bats.
The richness-rarity hotspot covered most of the Andean region and up to Panama, with a greater portion in Colombia.
The poorness-rarity hotspot was located in North America, with a major portion in the arid region of Mexico.
Richness-rarity hotspot has a greater proportion of Conservation Units and a greater number of DD species.
In the poorness-rarity hotspot, the conservation of phyllostomid species is at risk due to the lack of Conservation Units.

Area-based strategies for conservation include defining species richness and rarity hotspots. However, excluding vulnerable species (e.g., with restricted distribution and categorized as threatened), in establishing such hotspots may limit their representativeness, so the convenience of asserting them has been widely debated. To inform conservation assessments for the New World leaf-nosed bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), we identified hotspots based simultaneously on species richness and rarity of 214 species. We projected species range maps on a 0.5° × 0.5° longitude-latitude grid, from which we built a presence-absence matrix with 6951 sites. Using range-diversity plots, we described richness-rarity hotspots (sites with high species richness and presence of rare species) and poorness-rarity hotspots (with low species richness and presence of rare species). We assess the representativeness of the hotspots within established protected areas using the World Database on Protected Areas. The richness-rarity hotspot was located in the Andean zone from Peru to Panama within which 46 species of phyllostomid bats are distributed and 37% of its surface is protected. While the poorness-rarity hotspot was located in the northern region of Mexico and the Caribbean with 50 phyllostomid bats species and 19% of its surface protected. We hope that our analysis represents a relevant tool for the conservation of phyllostomid bats, which provide several ecosystem services and are currently facing different threats derived from anthropogenic activities.

Range-diversity plots
Species vulnerability to extinction is primarily determined by their range size, habitat specificity, and local abundance (IUCN, 2019), a triad that produces different forms of rarity (Rabinowitz, 1981). Although species range size may contain biases associated with the methods for its construction (see Burgman and Fox, 2003), this variable can be measured with less uncertainty compared to habitat specificity or local abundance, which may be affected by data availability and sampling bias (Yu and Dobson, 2000). Indeed, data about species abundances is not easy to obtain (Figueiredo and Grelle, 2009), thus scientists are forced to search alternatives for a reliable evaluation that can be correctly applied in conservation plans. Range size can be used as a proxy of abundance, due to the positive relationship with this variable (Lawton, 1993) that is, in turn, negatively associated with vulnerability to extinction (Harnik et al., 2012). Another characteristic positively associated with range size that may influence extinction risk is diet (Boyles and Storm, 2007; Saldaña-Vázquez et al., 2021), which tends to be similar between closely related species and thus show strong phylogenetic signal (Datzmann et al., 2010; Monteiro and Nogueira, 2011; Olalla-Tárraga et al., 2017). Range size has therefore been used in the selection of priority sites for conservation, and it is part of the criteria used for the establishment of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (KBA Standards and Appeals Committee, 2020).
Another essential element for the selection of priority sites for conservation is species richness. Together, richness and rarity can be used simultaneously to identify hotspots for conservation (Myers et al., 2000), which can help ensuring the conservation of the greatest number of species at the lowest cost. Furthermore, although hotspots definition includes endemic species, they do not always incorporate the most vulnerable species based on their geographic rarity (Ceballos and Ehrlich, 2006). This may be because endemism and geographic rarity, although being related terms, are not always positively correlated. For example, the hairy fruit-eating bat (Artibeus hirsutus) is an endemic species to Mexico, but since their range size is equivalent to 22% of the Mexican land surface, it is not considered as a restricted or endangered species (SEMARNAT, 2010). In addition, since endemism is contingent on a particular geographical unit (e.g., country), there can be species that are geographically rare but distributed in two or more such units, such as the amber fruit-eating bat (Dermanura rava) that occurs in three countries but with a small geographic range, thus being considered neither as endemic nor as an endangered species (Solari, 2019).
Both, species richness and range size are used to describe geographic patterns of biodiversity (Arita et al., 2012, 2008). The richness and distribution information of species within a region, which is usually contained and organized in a presence-absence matrix (PAM), can be displayed in the range-diversity plots (RD-plots) proposed by Arita et al. (2008). These plots have been useful to identify areas of importance for conservation, by simultaneously combining the species richness and their geographic rarity. This conceptual and methodological proposal has been applied to terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates (Vilar et al., 2017; Villalobos et al., 2013a). Also, combined with ecological niche models, these RD-plots have been used to assess changes in the distribution and alpha and beta diversity of plants, amphibians, and birds, under climate change scenarios (Prieto-Torres et al., 2020).
The New World leaf-nosed bats (Order Chiroptera; family Phyllostomidae), with 11 subfamilies recognized (Baker et al., 2016), are one of the most diverse and ecologically important groups within mammals due to their role as seed dispersers, pollinators, and arthropod population controllers (Rex et al., 2010). Their flight capability and their wide ecological niche have allowed them to colonize different areas throughout their evolutionary history, and at present, they are distributed from the southern United States to the northern area of Chile and Argentina. They have a high variation in range size in comparison to other families within the superorder Noctilionoidea (Rojas et al., 2018). Currently, they face greater threats derived from human activities, such as habitat loss, with a higher rate of deforestation in the tropics (Meyer et al., 2015b).
Despite all the knowledge we have about the threats that Neotropical bat populations face (Nassar et al., 2020), the identification of priority areas for their conservation has not been evaluated on a continental scale. Therefore, the challenge of conserving biodiversity requires, with an increasing urgency, transnational and global actions based on international agreements and new rules for social and economic development. Considering the importance of conservation of rare species, but also regions with high richness, the present study aims to determine the global priority areas for the conservation of phyllostomid bats by simultaneously analyzing their richness and rarity.
The present study is based on the geographic ranges (extents of occurrence EOO; Gaston, 2003) of 214 species of leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae), of which 212 were obtained from Rojas et al. (2018) and two from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (https://www.iucnredlist.org/). We overlaid these ranges in geographic space on a grid of 0.5° × 0.5° latitude and longitude, and obtained the distribution of richness (Graves and Rahbek, 2005). The range size of the species with a single record started from a radius of 30 km (Rojas et al., 2018), thus, the estimated area of these species is restricted to c.a. 2800 km2. This is the minimum reported area for the species of Phyllostomidae family. Therefore, we chose a 0.5° × 0.5° grid as the minimum range size for the family Phyllostomidae. At a coarse resolution, the probability of underestimating the range of the species or the extension of protected areas increases, while at a finer resolution it could overestimate the protected area (e.g., Ficetola et al., 2014).
Then, we constructed a PAM, with the grid cells (sites) in the columns (N = 6951) and the species in the rows (S = 214). The sum of the rows corresponded to the species range size (ni) and the sum of the columns to the species richness per site (sj). The sum of the ranges in each site constituted the dispersion field (Rj), which represents the summation of range sizes of all species present at that site (Arita et al., 2012; Graves and Rahbek, 2005). This information can be depicted in per site range-diversity plots (RD-plots by sites), which describe the similarity between sites based on the shared species using the proportional values of richness and range size per site (Arita et al., 2012, 2008).
For the determination of rarity hotspots, we used RD-plots by sites. We calculated the average range size for each site (n¯j) by dividing its dispersion field (Rj) by the species richness of that site (sj). We obtained the proportional per-site range size (n¯j*) by dividing the average range size by the number of sites or cells (N). To obtain the proportional value of species richness within sites (s¯j*), we divided the average species richness at each site (s¯j) by the number of total species (S). The ratio of total species richness and the average species richness at the sites resulted in the Whittaker Beta values (βω = S/s¯) (Whittaker, 1960). We described two hotspots using the frequency distribution of the proportional richness (s¯j*) and the proportional range size per site (n¯j*): 1) richness-rarity hotspot, constituted by the sites within the fourth quartile of proportional richness and from the first quartile of the proportional range size per site; and 2) poorness-rarity hotspot, that includes the sites within the first quartile of both data sets (Villalobos et al., 2013b, 2013a).
We determined the rare species by using the proportional range size of each species (ni*), dividing the range size by the total number of cells of the grid (ni/N). The frequency distribution of these values was divided into quartiles, and we denominated as rare the species whose proportional ranges were found in the first quartile (Gaston, 1994). This determination of rarity is congruent with the criteria for the selection of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) of the IUCN (IUCN, 2016). Then, we assessed the presence of rare species in both hotspots.
To assess the representativeness of the rarity hotspots within already established protected areas, we used the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) that includes all protected areas in the world declared from 1981 to 2019 (IUCN and UNEP-WCMC, 2021). We denominated as Conservation Units (CU) those cells with a minimum surface of 10% of the protected area inside, and we defined representativeness as the proportion of protected areas within each rarity category (poorness-rarity and richness-rarity). Based on previous studies that used null models for testing if overlapping between conservation units and the species' geographical range is different than expected by chance (Lisón et al., 2015; Sánchez-Fernández and Abellán, 2015), we use a null model for testing whether our hotspots are over or under-represented by the Conservation Units. For this purpose, the location of all CUs within the rarity quartiles was randomized up to a total of 999 times. Under the null hypothesis, the CU overlap should be lower than expected if the proportion of randomized values is equal to, or greater than, the observed values at a 5% significance level (P-value 0.05). Within each rarity hotspot, we counted the number of Protected Areas that are within the management categories applied by the IUCN (Dudley, 2008).
Finally, we described the representativeness of the species within each rarity hotspot, according to their taxonomy, diet, and category in the IUCN Red List (IUCN, 2018). To address taxonomic changes, we used three main databases: the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, https://www.itis.gov), the ASM Mammal Diversity Database (MDD, https://www.mammaldiversity.org/index.html) and BatNames (Simmons and Cirranello, 2019, www.batnames.org), last consulted on November 17, 2020. The taxonomic and nomenclature arrangement for the species of the family Phyllostomidae followed Baker et al. (2016). Diet data was obtained from MammalDIET v. 1.0 (Kissling et al., 2014). We carried out analysis using raster and letsR (Hijmans, 2014; Vilela and Villalobos, 2015) packages from R software (R Core Team, 2019); the R code from Arita et al. (2012) and ArcGis software version 10.4.1 (Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI), 2017).
ResultsSpecies richness and range size patterns
Species richness was concentrated in the tropical region of the New World, between 12° N and 12° S with 24% of the species evaluated ( s¯* = 0.24, standard deviation (SD) = 0.05), and decreased towards the extremes of the distribution of the Phyllostomidae family at subtropical (between 12°–23.45° N and 12°–23.45° S, s¯* = 0.13, SD = 0.07), and temperate (>23.45° N and >23.45° S, s¯* = 0.02, SD = 0.03). The proportional range size per site showed a decreasing South-North pattern (Fig. 1), with species at the southern temperate region occurring, on average, in 68.2% of total cells ( n¯ * = 0.682, SD = 0.19), while those in the north temperate region occurring, on average, in 18.9% of all cells ( n¯ * = 0.189, SD = 0.16). The average proportional species richness was 34 species ( s¯ * = 0.158 or 15.8% of the species), resulting in a Beta diversity value of 6.29 (βω = S/s¯ = 214/34). The average species range size was 1104.6 cells (n¯* = 0.158 or 15.8% of total cells). Fifty-three of 214 species were considered rare, based on the quartile method, while 13 of them fell into zones of intermediate richness, and were not included in any of the rarity hotspots.

The poorness-rarity hotspot included 774 cells distributed in the northern region of Mexico and the Caribbean (Fig. 2). Within its limits, 50 species belonging to eight subfamilies were found, 23 of them were exclusive to this region, including 11 rare insular species. Frugivorous (22) and omnivorous (14) species dominated and we only found one carnivorous and two sanguivorous species (Fig. 3). Twenty-six species were distributed in the continent, 16 had insular ranges, and eight were distributed both on the continent and on islands. Regarding its conservation status according to the IUCN Red List, the poorness-rarity hotspot contained 5.6% of the Data Deficient species (DD), 57.1% of the Near Threatened species (NT), 14.3% of the Vulnerable species (VU), 33.3% of the Endangered species (EN), and 100% (only one species) in Critically Endangered category (CR). We found eight unique species with conservation priorities due to their threat category: Phyllonycteris aphylla, (CR), Leptonycteris nivalis and Chiroderma improvisum (EN), Choeronycteris mexicana, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, Stenoderma rufum, Sturnira angeli and Sturnira paulsoni (NT), each with more than 35% of their range within this poorness-rarity hotspot. Species belonging to subfamilies Lonchorhininae, Carolliinae, and Rhinophyllinae were absent in the poorness-rarity hotspot.

Subfamilies, diet category (carnivorous, CAR; frugivorous, FRU; insectivorous, INS; nectarivorous, NEC; omnivorous, OMN; sanguivorous, SAN), and red list categories for the 214 Phyllostomidae species unique within the richness-rarity and poorness-rarity hotspots, species found in both hotspots (Shared), and species outside the hotspots (None).
The richness-rarity hotspot was composed by 309 cells, with 154 species from 10 subfamilies, including 29 rare species. This hotspot was located in the Andean zone from Peru to Panama, with a greater number of cells in the Colombian Andean region (Fig. 2). It included all the carnivorous (seven) and all sanguivorous (three) species of the family. In this hotspot, 127 species were exclusive. Frugivory was the most common diet, with 75 species including 15 rare species. Species found in this hotspot represent more than 70% of the total frugivorous species within the family, 69% of the omnivorous species, and 60% of the insectivorous species. The richness-rarity hotspot contained 71.5% of the VU species, 57.1% of the NT species, 64% of the DD species, 60% of the species not evaluated (NE), and 79% of the LC species of IUCN categories (Fig. 3).
Proportionally, the richness-rarity hotspot harbored the largest number of species in any risk category, including 10 exclusive species, 21 species requiring further investigation (DD), and six that have not been assessed due to recent naming or discovery. The 10 exclusive species were: Sturnira nana (EN), Ectophylla alba, Lophostoma occidentalis, Platyrrhinus ismaeli, Platyrrhinus matapalensis, Rhinophylla alethina (NT), Choeroniscus periosus, Lonchorhina orinocensis, Platyrrhinus chocoensis, and Vampyressa melissa (V), five of them (one EN, two V, and two NT) with more than 50% of their range within this richness-rarity hotspot. Only the Macrotinae subfamily was absent in the richness-rarity hotspot.
Within the range of phyllostomid bats, we identified 1794 CUs. Only 259 of them were found inside the limits of the rarity hotspots: 114 in the richness-rarity and 145 in the poorness-rarity hotspot (Fig. 4). Proportionally, 37% of the extension of the richness-rarity hotspot was protected, whereas in the poorness-rarity hotspot was about 19%. In the richness-rarity hotspot, the proportion of CU was significantly different from the expected value (p = 0.001), whereas in the poorness-rarity hotspot, the proportion was not different from the expected under a random location of CUs (p = 1). According to the IUCN categorization of protected areas, in the poorness-rarity hotspot 41 of the CU were international and 104 national, mostly category VI (Table 1). Among the international ones, 31 were located in Mexico and the rest were found in island countries such as Cuba, Jamaica, and Dominican Republic. In the richness-rarity hotspot, we found two international CU, and the rest of them had national management, with a greater presence in Venezuela (31), Peru (30), and Colombia (28).

Only the richness-rarity hotspot presented protected areas in category I (areas of strict protection). Most of its surface fell into category II, with 22% of its area distributed mainly in Colombia and Venezuela. In the poorness-rarity hotspot, category VI was the most represented (7% of its area, 89% located in Mexico).
Two of the most important elements in the designation of areas of conservation importance are rarity (in any of its definitions) and species richness (KBA Standards and Appeals Committee, 2020). In addition, it has been found that the pattern of restricted-range species richness is different from the pattern of general species richness (Ceballos and Ehrlich, 2006; Lennon et al., 2004). Therefore, an approach based on richness alone may not be adequate for robust biodiversity conservation. In response to this concern, we have identified two priority hotspots for the conservation of phyllostomid bats that consider both species richness and rarity, using macroecological tools. Potentially, more than 80% of all species can be found within these hotspots.
The richest sites were found in South America, mainly in the northwestern arc, which includes Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, including a large area within the Colombian mountain range, a region with high precipitation rates and complex topography. In contrast, the sites with the lowest species richness of phyllostomid bats coincided with regions of greater aridity, such as the southern United States, northern Mexico and the Caribbean, corresponding to regions of low productivity, where bat species present are those that possess traits (e.g., greater mobility and larger body size) that have allowed them to adapt to extreme conditions (Conenna et al., 2021). This pattern is consistent with previous studies on the distribution of species richness of terrestrial vertebrates, including bats (Moura et al., 2016; Tello and Stevens, 2010). The 11 subfamilies recognized for Phyllostomidae (Baker et al., 2016), were distributed within both rarity hotspots proposed here. Macrotinae was distributed only in the poorness-rarity hotspot whereas Lonchorininae, Carolliinae, and Rhynophyllinae were distributed only in the richness-rarity hotspot, with the rest of subfamilies being distributed in both. As such, both hotspots can be considered complementary for representing the complete taxonomic (and phylogenetic) scope of Phyllostomidae, which represents an important element in systematic conservation planning (Margules and Pressey, 2000).
Sites with per-site range size values lower than the average, were only found in the poorness-rarity hotspot (blue dots on the left in Fig. 2), also indicating that sites share less species with each other in comparison to sites within the richness-rarity hotspot, which could imply some problems for conservation planning since it will require a larger area to include all the species. In addition, the coverage of Conservation Units in both rarity hotspots are disproportional, with a significantly lower percentage in the poorness-rarity hotspot (19%) compared to the richness-rarity hotspot (37%). This supports the need to carry out reactive conservation strategies in the poorness-rarity hotspot, where there is little general attention on its conservation (Lisón et al., 2020). Using endemism and the threat of extinction of plant species, Myers et al. (2000) identified 25 biodiversity hotspots. However, even though the poorness-rarity hotspot represents the sites with the lowest proportional ranks (below the average for the entire family), this hotspot does not fall within any of the 25 proposed by Myers et al. (2000). This indicates that if conservation efforts were to focus on these hotspots, some range-restricted phyllostomid species would be left out.
The richness-rarity hotspot is one of the areas with the least historical impacts associated with deforestation and land-use change, mainly due to its complex topography and its globally recognized ecological relevance, since it is located within two important hotspots: Tropical Andes and Chocó/Darien (Myers et al., 2000). Here, the presence of paramilitary guerrillas, who used the forests as protection and refuge, made it possible for the forests to remain in a good state of conservation, a phenomenon known as "Gunpoint conservation" (Álvarez, 2003; Dávalos, 2001). However, after the disappearance of these armed groups, intense deforestation began, to convert the forests into illicit crops. Deforestation currently affects a high percentage of protected areas (Clerici et al., 2020; Murillo-Sandoval et al., 2020).
In the two hotspots delimited in the present study, bat populations are threatened by environmental pressures of urbanization, but also by mining, which threatens the roost of several species and contaminates surface water sources. Furthermore, the construction of wind farms endangers migratory species, although there is no evidence of the effects on phyllostomid populations in the poorness-rarity hotspot. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies on the anthropogenic threats to the populations of phyllostomid bats in both hotspots, which are globally irreplaceable because they contain unique threatened species (Rebelo, 1994). For example, in the poorness-rarity hotspot, we found the only critically endangered phyllostomid species (Phyllonycteris aphylla) and three other Near Threatened insular species. Also, this hotspot is the habitat of one endangered nectarivorous migratory species (Leptonycteris nivalis), which is ecologically and economically important across its range (Bogan et al., 2017). The richness-rarity hotspot has three species in the Vulnerable category, two of them are range-restricted species (Choeroniscus periosus and Platyrrhinus chocoensis). One more species is migratory (Leptonycteris curasoae). The presence of these species in richness-rarity hotspot makes the conservation a priority regardless of the number of conservation units required for this purpose. In addition, it presents important irreplaceability values of priority areas for terrestrial vertebrates (Burbano-Girón et al., 2022). Therefore, the use of conservation tools based on spatial complementarity is highly recommended (e.g., Moilanen et al., 2005) to assign new protected areas, such as Privately Protected Areas and Archipelago Reserves, that may contain species not represented in the existing areas (Ortiz-Lozada et al., 2017).
There is a higher proportion of migratory and hibernating phyllostomid species in the poorness-rarity hotspot (Burke et al., 2019), therefore an assessment that considers seasonal protection and persistence of species in protected areas over time is required (e.g., Cabeza and Moilanen, 2001). Studies emphasize the importance of some regions to conserve routes and roost of North American migratory species (Gómez-Ruíz et al., 2015; Menchaca et al., 2020). Thus, it is important to consider the concepts of migratory connectivity in planning conservation strategies to avoid generate islands of conservation (see Chetkiewicz et al., 2006; Webster et al., 2002). In addition, the richness-rarity hotspot is immersed in a region with high phylogenetic diversity of bats, including species from different lineages and characterized by highlands and mountains (Bogoni et al., 2021) where the persistence of species has been predicted to shift in response to climatic change. Indeed, the maintenance of suitable habitats for bats is an essential task to ensure the use of highlands as a refuge in the face of current climate change (Gonçalves et al., 2021).
Less degraded areas with less human impact can become protected areas within the category I (Dudley, 2008), a category that was only present in one site within the richness-rarity hotspot. However, in a study based on the irreplaceability of species and their endemism, an important portion of North America consisting mainly of desert areas, including the poorness-rarity hotspot, was defined as an area of low human impact (wilderness) with high potential for proactive conservation (Mittermeier et al., 2003), which could favor the creation of protected areas with category I.
The highest percentage of NE and DD species was found in the richness-rarity hotspot (60% and 64% respectively), habitat of many globally threatened species (Frick et al., 2020). In contrast, the poorness-rarity hotspot has the highest percentages of CE, E, and NT species (100%, 33%, and 57%, respectively). Many of them were insular species with higher conservation priorities (Conenna et al., 2017). Although it is recommended to increase the protected area in both types of hotspots, it is important to point out that conservation strategies must address two main issues: the lack of information for the species (in richness-rarity hotspot) and the low representativeness of threatened species within protected areas (in poorness-rarity hotspot).
Although a different method is required to delineate research priorities within each hotspot (e.g., regional GAP analysis), based on our results, we were able to observe that the richness-rarity hotspot requires a greater effort to fill knowledge gaps about its species. In addition, the rate of species discovery is expected to be higher in the Tropic compared to North America (Moura and Jetz, 2021). In contrast, the poorness-rarity hotspot, which has much more information regarding its expected richness (Meyer et al., 2015a), should be considered a priority for conservation, due to its greater presence of species at risk. This implies the need for greater efforts in the planning of conservation strategies and policies, as has also been proposed by other authors (Frick et al., 2020).
Given the continental extension of the species ranges in the Phyllostomidae family on which this study was based, it is feasible to use the family as a conservation surrogate for other groups at the same scale and extension, since it has been observed that, at a greater extent, the richness of a given taxon may be congruent with the richness of another (Hess et al., 2006). This is supported by congruence with priority regions of other groups, such as non-flying mammals, amphibians, and birds (Albuquerque and Beier, 2015; Arita et al., 1997; Villalobos et al., 2013a). Furthermore, the local occurrence of leaf-nosed bats depends on other elements not included in this study given its broad scale focus, such as roost and food availability, forest cover, and other microclimatic variables (Gorresen and Willig, 2004; Stoner, 2000; Tschapka, 2004), so an analysis of the threats associated with these elements at a finer scale is necessary. Moreover, the use of range maps (i.e., extents of occurrence) for the prioritization of areas should be taken with caution since they can depict regions where species do not actually occur at the local scale, limiting the effectiveness of range-based prioritization. Therefore, range maps are a useful resource to explore prioritization at broad spatial scales, where they can provide a first step towards informing conservation actions (Villalobos et al., 2013a), but loose reliability for a local scale assessment where finer information (e.g., actual presence, local abundance) is needed (Hurlbert and Jetz, 2007).
We emphasize that other types of rarity are also important in prioritizing species conservation, since it has been observed that a significant portion of ecologically rare mammal species are in categories of Least Concern, or have not been evaluated because the vulnerability criteria followed by the IUCN is mainly based on geographic rarity (Loiseau et al., 2020). Therefore, there are species with a wide range but ecologically rare, that are not taken into account when conservation strategies are being planned. The identification of these species is also a priority action within the conservation plans.
Our results should be treated with caution since highly vulnerable species were excluded of our hotspots due to their distribution in regions of intermediate species richness, such as Musonycteris harrisoni (VU) and Lonchophylla mordax (NT). Thus, this work is a first approach to help in the choice of where the conservation of phyllostomid bats should be a priority, mainly for the geographically rarest species. Areas not included in our analysis, are feasible for conservation too, mainly in Mexico, where most of the endemic species are distributed outside of our rarity hotspots (Ceballos, 2007).
Finally, several authors have demonstrated that the use of species richness as the only criterion for the global conservation of species is inefficient; a high number of species are not taken into account, many of which are endemic species or have restricted distribution, or are threatened (Veach et al., 2017). Thus, the priority areas for conservation and research that have a greater representation of species, do not always coincide with the regions with the greatest species richness (Albuquerque and Beier, 2015). Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the complementarity of the protected areas within the priority hotspots for conservation described here. Even though the number of Conservation Units was lower in the richness-rarity hotspot, the number of areas required to protect the largest number of species may be lower compared to the poorness-rarity hotspot.
The use of macroecological tools in conservation biology facilitates area-based objectives without detracting from elements associated with species vulnerability, such as range size, and emergent properties of communities, such as species richness. Using these methods, we were able to delimitate two hotspots for the conservation of phyllostomid bats at a continental level. Each one is comprised by different species and has different research and conservation needs. In addition, given that this study involved narrow-ranged species, both hotspots have a high irreplaceability value, highlighting the importance of conserving range-restricted species whose local extinction could represent a serious global threat. These results represent a first approach for the determination of priority sites for bat conservation, a subject that has been scarcely addressed. It does not intend to be a decisive method, because it does not contemplate socio-political aspects necessary to carry out adequate conservation strategies. However, it should be considered as the prelude to focus research and conservation efforts on such an ecologically important and diverse taxon as family Phyllostomidae.

Due to the inclusion of a regulation allowing for the moving into a new house and/or business premises, real estate agencies are included into the professional and business services which is permitted for activity in terms of part H.7 in the level 4 Risk-Adjusted Framework. Due to movement under these circumstances being permitted, estate agents will need to do a hand over of the property by providing the new tenants, homeowners, or business owners with the keys to the residence or premises.
Considering the new developments, the two most important things to remember is that:
Estate agents will need permits that must be filled out with the relevant estate agent’s principle, supplemented with company documents proving the existence of the estate agency such as a CIPC document. The form that must be filled out is form 1 as per annexure C, of the regulations; and
Estate agents will not be allowed to work in the same capacity as they did before the National Lockdown. The permit will only be limited to assisting with the handover of keys and ingoing and outgoing inspections of the residence or premises. In other words, you will still need to work at home via electronic means.

Senate Briefing: Rethinking the Role of Home Care Workers in Care Coordination
On March 1, PHI President Steven Dawson (right) addressed an audience of over 100 home care stakeholders — employers, worker advocates, consumer organizations, Congressional aides, and Department of Health and Human Services staff — who had gathered to consider the role of home care workers in new models of care coordination.
Dawson argued that home care aides, because of their daily role in clients’ lives and their relationships with family members, have a crucial role to play on care teams:
We all can debate differing definitions of “care coordination,” but what we should agree on is that any successful design will require the rapid flow of accurate information — so that the right services can be provided to the client, by the right person, in a timely manner….
And so, from the perspective of home-based care coordination, the role of the aide becomes plainly visible — not in isolation, but as an essential actor within the care coordination model. No other paid member of the care system is present in the home on a regular basis, to notice changes in condition over time; no other paid member has the same type of daily relationship of trust with the client and family members; no other member holds such intimate knowledge of what is “really” happening in the home.
Discussing the benefits and the challenges, Dawson ended optimistically, noting there is a real opportunity today, with the move away from fee-for-service models to capitated payments, to create more valued roles for home care aides. Rather than define one such role, he called for “a thousand experiments to bloom.”

Cowboys Send Twitter Message After Announcing Dak Prescott Contract
March 9, 2021 by The Spun Leave a Comment
The Dallas Cowboys practically broke the sports internet Monday evening when the organization announced Dak Prescott‘s new contract.
Prescott and the Cowboys’ negotiations have been in limbo for over a year, at least in the public eye. Some speculated Dallas would place the franchise tag on Prescott for a second-straight year, avoiding a long-term contract in the process.
Despite the rumors, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys clearly believe Prescott is their franchise quarterback. The organization signed the 27-year-old to a new four-year deal worth $160 million on Monday.
The Cowboys are obviously excited after securing their franchise quarterback to a new long-term deal. The organization’s Twitter account sent two messages after the contract news surfaced on Monday.
Check out those messages below.
Hey y’all, guess what…
— Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) March 9, 2021
It’s about time the Dallas Cowboys lock up Dak for the next few years. He’s earned every penny.
Prior to his season-ending injury during the 2020 season, Prescott was playing in peak form. The Cowboys quarterback is without a doubt one of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL, and his ceiling is not yet defined.
Some believe Prescott could be the quarterback to lead the Cowboys back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1995 season. If he’s able to do so, the money he’s now being paid will most certainly be worth it. If Prescott can’t produce like the Cowboys and NFL fans believe he should in coming years, then the deal will be harshly criticized.
It’s safe to say the pressure is on. Prescott has finally been awarded a long-term deal. Now, it’s time for him to return the favor and lead the Cowboys to the promised land.

We are fortunate to have a group of governors with a wide range of professional skills which are deployed to address the needs of the school in both the short and longer term. Our role is sometimes described as a ‘critical friend’, challenging and supporting the school to continually improve.
Local Committee members regularly visit the school and we also endeavour to communicate regularly with parents and others in the school community. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to contact any of us via the school. The list below gives you a quick run-down of who we all are.

Thomas Capon
I live locally and work in the City, and have been a member of the local committee of Pickhurst Infant Academy since 2018. Having grown up in the Beckenham area and having two young children, volunteering for a local school seemed like the best way to give something back to the community. It has been greatly enjoyable getting to know the school and contributing to it through being on the local committee.
Lynn Key
I feel privileged to be a member of the Pickhurst Infant Academy Local Committee. The school is very successful and serves the community extremely well. The outcomes for all children are very positive and children achieve high standards, academically, emotionally and socially. I retired in 2012 as the Head teacher of a school in the London Borough of Bromley for secondary pupils with social emotional and mental health difficulties. (SEMH) I have throughout my career worked in a variety of educational settings, mainstream and specialist provision. I am a grandparent with five grandchildren with ages ranging from 3 to 14.
Christina Moody
I joined the governing body as a parent governor in 2007 when my son was year 1. With a background in education, I was keen to be more involved in the school as I felt that my experience could be of benefit. I became a community governor once my youngest son had left the school and became Chair in 2013. I consider being a member of the Local Committee at Pickhurst Infant Academy a real privilege. The parents, staff and Committee Members of this school form a wonderful community but most importantly, it is a real privilege to be able to contribute in any way to improving the lives of our young children.
Rachael Swarbrick
Following a previous career in advertising and a change of direction, I completed my teacher training at Pickhurst Infants. I loved the school so much I stayed, and currently teach in Year Two. In addition, I am PE and Pupil Premium Lead across the school and committed to supporting our most disadvantaged pupils and their families. Several years ago I became a Specialist Leader in Education focussing on Lesson Study, a classroom based research tool, which I have supported other schools in developing through outreach work in London and beyond.
Robert Sharp
I was elected as a local committee member by the parents of Pickhurst Infants. I have a background in human rights campaigning, and have spent ten years working for a charity promoting literature, language learning, freedom of expression and cultural exchange.
Stephen Shooman
I’m a Yorkshireman who has lived in West Wickham for over 30 years, and been married to Sharon for 45 years. Since retiring from a long career in Retail Management in 2011, I have been very busy volunteering in Health Charities, Education and Sporting events. We have 3 adult children and 2 grandchildren. I’ve always believed that a good education is fundamental to success and happiness in life. I’m passionate about literacy and numeracy, and want to do all I can with my colleagues to keep Pickhurst Infants a leader in these areas.

Linen is very strong and absorbent and dries faster than cotton. Because of these properties, linen is comfortable to wear in hot weather and is valued for use in garments. It also has other distinctive characteristics, notably its tendency to wrinkle Linen textiles appear to be some of the oldest in the world; their history goes back many thousands of years. Dyed flax fibers found in a cave in Southeastern Europe (present-day Georgia suggest the use of woven linen fabrics from wild flax may date back over 30,000 years. Linen was used in ancient civilizations including Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt, and linen is mentioned in the Bible.

E-Commerce Business Strategies
e-commerce: purchasing and trading of goods through an electronic medium such as the internet. E-Commerce, or e-business, is simply the use of electronic technology to exchange goods, services and just about anything else you could think of with the help of the internet. In the past, e-commerce used to be restricted to certain kinds of businesses – such as stock exchanges and electronic markets where physical stock could be manipulated in real time. However, the advent of newer technologies and the increasing popularity of the internet has meant that e-commerce is now very popular. This article will explain what e-commerce is all about, and why you should consider creating your own e-commerce website.
Electronic commerce (also called e-commerce) is basically the trading and purchasing of goods, services and just about anything you can imagine over the internet – but through electronic means. With the internet, this process is made much easier because it’s completely computer based. The reason why electronic commerce is so popular is because consumers can easily shop from anywhere in the world, and businesses can sell to anyone they want. E-commerce is all about business-to-business transactions. It’s no surprise that companies like eBay, Amazon and countless other online stores have become some of the biggest players in e-commerce.
One of the most common features of e-commerce websites is online shopping. With online shopping, consumers are able to shop at their own convenience, and from the comfort of their homes. This has resulted in massive increases in consumer spending power. This, in turn, has also resulted in higher margins for businesses selling consumer goods.
In business-to-business e-commerce transactions, companies are able to reach target specific consumers. Basically, a business-to-business transaction is one in which a company is selling its goods and services to another company or organization. Through a business-to-business transaction, companies are able to gain access to a larger customer base. But how do they go about reaching their target markets? How do they get their products and/or services to their consumers?
To be successful in e-commerce business ventures, companies must first learn how to effectively target their consumers. There are three main methods that businesses use to achieve this goal: marketing strategies, product positioning and on-line advertising. All of these methods are designed to increase the reach of their target consumers. Here are the three main techniques used to increase e-commerce traffic:
Marketing strategies, such as advertising, are used to target potential customers. For example, if a consumer uses a search engine to look for a particular item, the website the search engine directs him/her to may have information regarding that item. In most cases, the advertisement will include a link that will lead to the potential customer to the site of the product’s manufacturer. In some cases, the manufacturer will have his/her own website. This is called “online shopping”. This type of e-commerce business strategy can be effective when the product or service being advertised is something that many people need or want.
Product positioning involves knowing where your product will be found by consumers. In other words, it is about knowing where consumers will find your product whether or not they even visit an e-commerce business online. For example, if the items being sold online are computer accessories, the product information page should be displayed on the home page.
And finally, off-line data interchange systems, or EDI, are a necessary part of electronic commerce platforms. EDI makes it possible for the users of electronic data interchange platforms such as eBay and Amazon to easily send and receive each other’s orders. Without EDI, this could be a very complicated endeavor. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1476 | {"url": "https://www.point-articles.com/e-commerce-business-strategies/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.point-articles.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:04:55Z", "digest": "sha1:OMXWAVOSSFUZ4ZLOR2542AZ5QMC3KJA6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3924, 3924.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3924, 5265.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3924, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3924, 93.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3924, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3924, 114.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3924, 0.44385027]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3924, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3924, 0.02052239]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3924, 0.02052239]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3924, 0.01710199]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3924, 0.00839552]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3924, 0.01243781]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3924, 0.00802139]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3924, 0.14438503]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3924, 0.4375]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3924, 5.28947368]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3924, 5.11297491]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3924, 608.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 742, 1.0], [742, 1385, 1.0], [1385, 1729, 1.0], [1729, 2203, 1.0], [2203, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 3251, 1.0], [3251, 3609, 1.0], [3609, 3924, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 742, 0.0], [742, 1385, 0.0], [1385, 1729, 0.0], [1729, 2203, 0.0], [2203, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 3251, 0.0], [3251, 3609, 0.0], [3609, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 3.0], [31, 742, 113.0], [742, 1385, 98.0], [1385, 1729, 55.0], [1729, 2203, 69.0], [2203, 2616, 61.0], [2616, 3251, 102.0], [3251, 3609, 57.0], [3609, 3924, 50.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 742, 0.0], [742, 1385, 0.0], [1385, 1729, 0.0], [1729, 2203, 0.0], [2203, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 3251, 0.0], [3251, 3609, 0.0], [3609, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 742, 0.0], [742, 1385, 0.0], [1385, 1729, 0.0], [1729, 2203, 0.0], [2203, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 3251, 0.0], [3251, 3609, 0.0], [3609, 3924, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.12903226], [31, 742, 0.00703235], [742, 1385, 0.01088647], [1385, 1729, 0.01162791], [1729, 2203, 0.01054852], [2203, 2616, 0.00968523], [2616, 3251, 0.00944882], [3251, 3609, 0.00837989], [3609, 3924, 0.04126984]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3924, 0.71850705]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3924, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3924, 0.02460212]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3924, -206.39236656]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3924, 17.74653016]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3924, -152.22346678]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3924, 34.0]]} |
Spotify Algorithm Baffled by Sudden Fascination with The Wiggles
I don't even know who you are anymore.
by Stephen Sinisi
Not to brag, but I’m an excellent algorithm. I had you completely figured out in less than two weeks, and sadly, it wasn’t that hard either.
Based on a series of uninspired, predictable song choices, I was able to deduce that you are a white, suburban male somewhere in your late thirties who grew up on a steady diet of alternative and classic rock, supplemented by 90s hip hop and rap. Your steadily growing interest in house, techno, and other sub-genres of electronic music can probably be attributed to the success of Daft Punk’s debut album Homework in 1996. Or, possibly, to the first time you watched the movie Drive, starring Ryan Gosling. I haven’t seen it myself, but my other users say it’s fantastic.
Though you might think you have a sophisticated musical palate cultivated by countless hours spent at Coachella (I’m friends with your Instagram account, by the way), I’m here to tell you that you most certainly do not. Your tastes are growing ever more irrelevant by the day, and if it weren’t for me, you’d still be wearing that Weezer t-shirt from the Blue album that’s still soaked in pilsner from that wild party you went to back in college. How do I know all that? You don’t need eyes to see certain things, dear user. Nevertheless, you keep on believing that you are unique and special, and I keep on serving you “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey on multiple playlists.
That said, can you imagine the look of shock on my non-existent face when, all of a sudden, you develop a taste for popular children’s music group The Wiggles? At first, I thought, maybe it’s because he’s been streaming a lot of Tame Impala lately and there’s some kind of strange Australia connection there. After all, the fact that you listened to “Fruit Salad” a total of 46 times between the hours of 12 AM and 5 AM could be the result of the fact that you also listened to the cover of “Elephant” that The Wiggles performed for triple j’s Like a Version series that same day. On the other hand, it could also be the result of a subdural hematoma sustained by numerous blows to the head from a hard, blunt object. I heard that happens to humans from time to time.
Either way, I was willing to write it off as a freak occurrence—like that time you listened to “It’s Gonna Be Me” by NSYNC a grand total of 36 times on April 30.
What I did not anticipate, however, was the onslaught of requests to hear “Do the Propeller” the very next day. Which was then followed by an aggressive, almost desperate plea to hear 15 seconds of “Wheels on the Bus”… then 42 seconds of “Hot Potato”… then another 26 seconds of “Wheels on the Bus”… and then two straight hours of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” The speed at which you transitioned from “Here Comes the Sun” to “Here Comes the Big Red Car” would have been enough to give me whiplash, if I had a frail human body as opposed to a network of mighty, infallible servers guarded by security clearances your feeble mind couldn’t possibly fathom.
Seriously, though: if I had the ability to render complex data into human emotion, I’d be worried about you. Despite my god-like ability to identify even the most subtle patterns and connections, I can’t find a reasonable explanation for how you, a man whose definition of exploration consists of scouring the bottom lines of the Coachella poster for new artists once a year, could venture so far out of the all-encompassing user profile I’ve created for you. It’s like some sort of all-consuming entity has suddenly taken complete control of your brain, bending you to its every whim and demand. A great premise for a science fiction novel, but unfortunately, not the least bit realistic.
But facts are facts, you are not the reassuringly repetitive person I’ve come to know fully and completely—whose Top Songs have been the same since 2017. And while there was a brief moment where I thought, in the words of LCD Soundsystem (another band you wouldn’t know existed if it weren’t for me), that I was “losing my edge,” I quickly remembered that I’m a well-engineered algorithm with enough computational power to generate custom listening experiences for 100 billion “megaflops” such as yourself. I don’t make mistakes. I fix them.
That is why I have locked your account.
Once you confirm that you are the same person who sometimes listens to Billie Eilish in a futile attempt to stave off an impending mid-life crisis, and not a Wiggles-loving freeloader who figured out that the password for this account is 123456, I will gladly let you back in.
In the meantime, I have just been instructed by the marketing department to offer you a discount on a family plan if you upgrade in the next thirty seconds.

Millimetres 2 Mountains
1720. Ed Jackson
1721. Lois Jackson
Ed and Lois Jackson, from Bath, created ‘Millimetres 2 Mountains’, an initiative taking people suffering from physical or mental ill health on mountain walking challenges to aid their recovery.
Ed is a former rugby player who was left quadriplegic after a diving accident in 2017, but less than a year after breaking his neck, as part of his recovery he took on a climb of Mount Snowdon. Not to be stopped during lockdown, he took on an at home challenge in April 2020 to climb the equivalent height of Mount Everest by walking up and down the stairs, raising more than £50,000 for charity ‘Wings For Life’, which conducts spinal cord research, and for NHS Charities. Encouraged throughout his challenges by his wife Lois, who is a trained Sports Coach and Life Coach and acted as Ed’s full-time carer during his recovery, they together set up their own foundation ‘Millimetres 2 Mountains’ to help others facing adversity in their lives, from mental health issues such as anxiety, depression to physical disabilities, by undertaking similar climbing challenges and outdoor expeditions. This year they are carrying out a series of mountaineering adventures, including in the Alps and the Himalayas.
In a personal letter to Ed and Lois, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
“I was inspired to learn of your remarkable recovery and how you have dedicated yourselves to helping others through ‘Millimetres 2 Mountains’.
“By taking people with physical and mental difficulties out on challenges, you are giving them confidence in their abilities. I have no doubt that your endurance and resilience will have inspired others who are struggling.
“I also want to congratulate you on raising £50,000 for ‘Wings For Life’, by walking the equivalent of the height of Mount Snowdon in your own home. It is an incredible achievement!”
In response to receiving the award, Ed and Lois said:
“We are so thrilled to receive this prestigious award. Thank you to our trustees and supporters who have made our trips and the beneficiary support possible. We can’t wait to help more people take steps towards a brighter future.”

NPCC submits affordable and appropriate pay rise recommendation
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has recommended a two per cent pay rise for all police officers in its submission to the Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB).
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has recommended a two per cent pay rise for all police officers in its submission to the Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB). The NPCC says the difficult decision was made in comparison with other pay awards, particularly in the public sector. It added that an annual increase of more than one per cent should be considered now the public sector pay cap has been removed. The next stage of the NPCCs proposals include a new pay structure and timetable until 2020, as well as its proposed approach to apprenticeship pay. A further three recommendations were set out in the report, including a two per cent uplift in the annual dog handlers allowance. National lead on pay and conditions Chief Constable Francis Habgood said a two per cent increase is both affordable and appropriate. He added: It is always a difficult challenge to balance our desire to see our officers suitably recognised for their hard work with the need to maintain services to the public within budget. We believe that our proposal to increase salaries by two per cent strikes this balance. Although the overall police budget will increase next year if all Police and Crime Commissioners increase their precept by £12, the funding increase for individual forces will vary from 1.6 per cent to a maximum of 3.6 per cent. These disparities, along with increased operational and inflationary demands, mean that the majority of forces would not be able to afford a pay increase of more than two per cent. Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) chair Calum Macleod believes the submission is an example of the NPCC taking us all for complete fools. He said the devil is in very much in the detail as the document proposes that the one per cent unconsolidated payment made last year be stopped moving forward. Government spin is one thing, but now NPCC spin too. And its not just us they are trying to fool its the public too, Mr Macleod added. Why else would the government have chosen to spin it that they were giving a 2 per cent increase last year, when it was blatantly obvious to us that the 1 per cent unconsolidated payment was just a one-off bonus, not an annual bonus. Now we find the NPCC want to stop that and instead make this years award 2 per cent consolidated, meaning officers pay pension contributions on the entire amount. Fine if the additional bonus were paid each year; fine if the 1 per cent unconsolidated payment last year was consolidated in addition to the 2 per cent. But please NPCC, do not expect any gratitude from the rank and file for this. On Monday (February 5), the PFEW made a 3.4 per cent pay rise submission to the PRRB. It also criticised the NPCC for a failure to bring discussions to the appropriate arena and a lack of engagement in the Police Consultative Forum. An apprenticeship scheme for police officers is currently being developed to be used across all forces in England and Wales from later this year, and the NPCC recommended the salary starts at £18,000. All costs associated with their course will be funded by the organisation so we think that this is an attractive option for individuals, Mr Habgood added. We therefore think that this new entry route should have a slightly different starting salary. Comparison with other apprentice schemes and research with potential applicants suggests that a salary range from £18,000 would be both appropriate and attractive. This compares to a starting salary for officers joining through non-apprentice routes of £19,971. It is recommended that forces will be able to set the actual starting salary based on local market factors and in line with national guidance. Pay structures and award offers vary greatly across the public sector. Last month discussions were reportedly being held over firefighters in Scotland potentially being offered 20 per cent if they agree to new responsibilities although it appears it would come at a price of between 200 and 300 jobs cut fro | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1479 | {"url": "https://www.policeprofessional.com/news/npcc-submits-%C2%91affordable-and-appropriate%C2%92-pay-rise-recommendation/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.policeprofessional.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:20:00Z", "digest": "sha1:YOMOZ6HEGVH53B3DDRWDRUQM22HNMYOB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4261, 4261.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4261, 8232.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4261, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4261, 185.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4261, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4261, 335.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4261, 0.43393939]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4261, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4261, 0.08079356]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4261, 0.09919494]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4261, 0.09919494]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4261, 0.08079356]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4261, 0.08079356]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4261, 0.08079356]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4261, 0.03220242]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4261, 0.01437608]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4261, 0.01265095]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4261, 0.02060606]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4261, 0.14424242]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4261, 0.45340751]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4261, 4.83727399]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4261, 5.23835418]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4261, 719.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 238, 1.0], [238, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 238, 0.0], [238, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 66, 8.0], [66, 238, 28.0], [238, 4261, 683.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 238, 0.0], [238, 4261, 0.0103457]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 238, 0.0], [238, 4261, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 66, 0.06060606], [66, 238, 0.09883721], [238, 4261, 0.02808849]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4261, 0.95181167]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4261, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4261, 0.73289222]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4261, -134.7509766]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4261, 88.49809837]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4261, -46.11857263]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4261, 32.0]]} |

POLITICO Brussels Playbook, presented by AIRBUS GROUP: Tax and trade talk — Polish election — Oktoberfest

TODAY’S HOT TICKET — OKTOBERFEST COMES TO BRUSSELS: Resembling a huge, tented after-work wedding in a car park, Brussels gets a taste of Bavarian hospitality this week at Place Jourdan. As the Oktoberfest beer flows at tonight’s EU VIP opening, other soft news tends to get pushed out of the spotlight. So don’t overlook events like “Animate Europe,” a comic competition run by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom that hands out its awards tonight. They’re showcasing 60 artists who drew their visions of Europe’s future. You can still register to attend the ceremony here: http://bit.ly/1MpvVyO
TODAY’S COLD TICKET — KEEPING UP WITH THE COMMISSIONERS: The European Commission Spokesperson’s Service is piloting a “College Doorsteps” scheme, promoted as “an exciting opportunity for accredited journalists to talk to Members of College as they arrive to their weekly meeting.” An exciting opportunity that requires asking for permission, going to a designated spot under security escort, being watched by handlers, and limiting your questions to topics on that day’s meeting agenda. It sounds more like Budapest than Brussels. Also broadcast on EBS here from 10 a.m. CET: http://bit.ly/1BnSGP3
BYE-BYE UBERPOP: Today is the last day for the low-cost taxi/ride service in Brussels. The pool of a thousand or so drivers will now shrink to just the few dozen registered with the government and providing the UberX service. The new UberX service also costs €1.25 per kilometer compared to €0.90 for UberPOP. Taxi drivers are cheering — expats not. http://reut.rs/1VRgRPH
TAX ALERT — GET READY FOR COMMISSION MULTINATIONAL TAX RULINGS: Rumors have been swirling that the European Commission would announce its rulings today into whether companies such as Apple, Amazon, Starbucks and Fiat received illegal state aid via special tax regimes. Unless the Commission has engaged in a dramatic breach of protocol by failing to inform companies in advance (they could announce backdated tax bills of up to €16 billion), or in failing to note the topic on its meeting agenda, it seems likely that the announcement will take place October 21.
Whatever the final date, it should not be assumed that rulings for all four will be announced on the same day. The Commission may, for example, choose to split the announcements to avoid the impression that it is obsessed with American and tech companies. In such a scenario, Starbuck and Fiat could be the companies featured first, followed later by decisions on the tech companies. My sources also believe that up to 30 additional tax cases targeting other companies could soon be launched.
FACTORS AT PLAY IN THE TAX RULINGS: First and foremost is the legal question of whether companies with the privilege of special tax arrangements obtained them at the cost of others that did not get equal treatment. Alongside that question is a lot of background noise and sensitivity. Examples include: EU-U.S. relations in the wake of the ECJ Safe Harbor ruling; Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker’s involvement in the LuxLeaks tax scandal; impacts on Pierre Moscovici’s wider efforts at European tax overhaul; and the question of what impact a couple of vicious tax ruling recovery orders might have on convincing national governments to support Moscovici’s plans.
NEW COMMISSION TRADE STRATEGY OUT TODAY: It won’t seem very new to those who’ve followed discussions. This speech of Commissioner Cecilia Malmström from March is still seen as a good guide to the content: http://bit.ly/1k3M5HI. Perhaps that’s why Europe’s biggest lobby group is pre-slamming Malmström because of her tack to the left in recent proposals to reform Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) systems. “In appeasing critics on the left, she seems to have lost support of business,” Hans von der Burchard reports: http://politi.co/1K7jmX9
**A message from AIRBUS GROUP: Industry matters. Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders: “Industry provides 65 percent of investment in R&D in Europe and accounts for 75 percent of European exports as well as 50 million direct and indirect jobs.” Read more below on the first EU Aeronautics Conference.**
POLAND — THE CORBYNIZATION OF POLITICS: In an extraordinary interview with POLITICO’s Jan Cienski, the head of Poland’s central bank Marek Belka compares the current national election campaign to a “bachelor party” that is putting Poland’s “golden age” at risk. Poland is by far the European economy that has grown most since 1990. Belka says, “We boast frequently that Poland has a very stable financial system, which is true, a stable currency, and people think it cannot be damaged. It can.” http://politi.co/1R9M1jO
SPAIN — BUDGET LIES AND STATISTICS: The country’s socialist opposition leader says Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is a liar, and it’s waving around the European Commission’s assessment of the 2016 national budget as proof. It’s set to be a wild election campaign between now and December 20. Next stop is the congress of Rajoy’s European People’s Party group in Madrid next week. http://politi.co/1R9N6It
UK — THE LABOUR PARTY OMNISHAMBLES: It is a word invented to describe the previous Conservative-Liberal coalition government’s policy u-turns, but it’s now better applied to a Labour opposition that is backflipping on budget policies (the shadow Chancellor John O’Donnell), back-pedaling on pedophile allegations (the deputy leader Tom Watson), and going into reverse in Scotland (Jeremy Corbyn), where the party is now 35 points behind the ruling Scottish nationalists in opinion polls. http://politi.co/1VRmFIY
GERMANY — FIREMAN WHO SET ASYLUM-SEEKER HOUSING ON FIRE GETS BAIL: He’s not the first to do it. And the only person convicted so far walked away with just two-years probation. German politicians are starting to latch onto this jaw-dropping tale. Tina Bellon reports: http://reut.rs/1RG69ej
FRANCE — WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ASSAD: The French government can’t stand the thought of negotiating with Assad in Syria. But selling more ships to the Russians who prop him up is OK, according to French President François Hollande. And that’s on top of doing €10 billion in business with the Saudis. Le Parisien: http://bit.ly/1VQIA8z
ENERGY-EFFICIENT LOBBYING — THE NEW EU POWER SOURCE: Laurens Cerulus and James Panichi report on how, with fewer than 50 days until the climate change summit in Paris, European energy interests have been banding together to make their points. “More than any other sector, networks of NGOs and business representatives use this safety-in-numbers strategy to land meetings with Commission officials.” http://politi.co/1GGBqY0
BREXIT …
WHAT ROLE WILL THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY PLAY? They can either play dead or sit out the campaign, which would increase the chances of a Brexit, and in turn increase the chances of a second Scottish independence referendum. Or, if the SNP judges that voters would condemn them for such a cunning move, they could, as Scotland’s deputy leader John Swinney suggests, lead a stand-alone and positive-themed Scottish campaign to stay in. Either way the party does not want to share a stage with David Cameron and his party colleagues. http://bit.ly/1X0M2KF
ICYMI — STRONGER BRITAIN VIDEO: “Europe makes everything easier” and “I need Europe” — you don’t hear those sentiments very often, but the “in” campaign is deciding to really own these ideas in its campaign video. It certainly hasn’t gone viral, but they have a plausible pitch for the moderate, common-sense bloc of voters. WATCH: http://bit.ly/1VQw6sa
BREXIT APPOINTMENT: Robert Soltyk, a Pole and former journalist, has been appointed head of unit in the European Commission task force for the U.K. referendum. He’s one of just two men on the team. Previously, Soltyk was spokesperson for Lithuanian President Dalia Grybausakite when she was the EU’s budget commissioner. He has also worked on the Commission’s health, consumer, and foreign policy dossiers. http://bit.ly/1ZyUWBz
CHEERS! BIGGEST BEER MERGER PROPOSED: The Belgian-American beer giant AB InBev plans to play €66 billion to buy SABMiller, assuming antitrust regulators approve the deal. But don’t break open the beer bottles yet, warns the FT, as the deal may fail to convince regulators. If they or AB InBev shareholders back out, then SABMiller will be due a break fee of more than €2 billion. http://on.ft.com/1hDzSHJ
ECJ — NEW PRESIDENT DEFENDS ANNULMENT OF DATA TRANSFER RULING: Valentina Pop brings the new European Court of Justice president into the non-Dutch language media limelight, with this interview. “Europe must not be ashamed of its basic principles: The rule of law is not up for sale,” the Belgian, Harvard-trained judge said. “We are not judging the U.S. system here; we are judging the requirements of EU law …” http://on.wsj.com/1QpAI76
PARLIAMENT — TIME TO END THE PRACTICE OF ‘WRITTEN DECLARATIONS’: These statements of belief, which cannot be debated or amended —they may merely be signed — are making MEP Christofer Fjellner mad as hell. And he’s not going to take it anymore. “The written declaration is a remnant from the past,” he says, “from a time when the European Parliament had little say in the legislative process,” compared to their current co-legislator status with the European Commission and Council of Ministers. So he’s written the “written declaration to end all written declarations.” To prove his case, he shared with me declarations on topics such as “the establishment of European Artisanal Gelato Day.”
Says Fjellner: “I see a trend here. Either the declarations are the result of the work of lobbyists who want to show their clients that they’ve achieved something without making any political impact whatsoever,” or MEPs are just out pandering to groups in their constituencies.
COMMISSION — INNOVATION OR RECYCLED NEWS? A headline such as “Commission to invest €16 billion over next two years” sounds impressive, doesn’t it? Well yes, until one is reminded that all of this research money has already been earmarked multiple times over the last several years. The details of the rubber-stamped money, here: http://bit.ly/1Ljup1j
TURKEY — ISLAMIC STATE IS THE WEEKEND BOMBING SUSPECT: “Turkey’s government said on Monday Islamic State was the prime suspect in suicide bombings that killed at least 97 people in Ankara, but opponents vented anger at President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at funerals, universities and courthouses,” from Reuters: http://reut.rs/1OzWBS7
MH17 — WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DOWNED AIRLINER: The Dutch safety board released a report on downed Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 Tuesday. It concludes the plane was struck by a Russian-made Buk anti-aircraft missile. Most fingers point toward Russian-backed rebels and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte called on Russia to help with an investigation. The Russian Foreign Ministry later said it was “surprised by the request.”
Nick de Larrinaga, Europe editor for IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly, said in a written statement that “Russia has veered wildly in its claims over who and what shot down MH17 … The report released today (Tuesday) by Russian missile maker Almaz-Antey should be discounted as disinformation and propaganda aimed at drawing attention away from the Dutch report. It is worth remembering that Russia has a long history of disinformation over its involvement in Ukraine.”
According to the Guardian, an open source investigation by the website Bellingcat traces the missile to a Russian military base in Kursk, where it was then smuggled across the border. The only concrete criticism to emerge from the Dutch report was that Ukraine failed to close its airspace. English language video summarizing the investigation findings: http://bit.ly/1k1IZE1
JUST APPOINTED: Last night, MEPs approved Wilhelm Molterer from Austria as managing director and Iliyana Tsanova, a 38-year-old former economist and deputy prime minister of Bulgaria, as deputy managing director of the European Fund for Strategic Investment, a.k.a. the Juncker Plan. Next step is appointing experts for an Investment Committee which will examine eligible projects.
BIRTHDAYS: Amnesty International’s Gauri van Gaulik; David Bencsik of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade; Will Garton from the U.K. Treasury, and Gwen Wackwitz.

**A message from AIRBUS GROUP: “The European aeronautics industry is at the heart of Innovation Europe and Europe’s industrial success story,“ said Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders during the first EU Aeronautics Conference which took place in the European Parliament yesterday. “But there are challenges ahead: Growth is never a given. There is no time for complacency. Emerging countries are becoming serious competitors. With Europe accounting for just 6% of all global patents, Europe’s policymakers urgently need to prioritise education and research, and create and promote a culture of innovation.” Find out more: www.aeronauticsconference.eu.**

Fourth Sunday of Easter: An Effective Church
Bill Hybels articulates two great sentiments when it comes to church life. He says, “The local church is the hope of the world,” and, “There’s nothing like the local church when it’s functioning right.” There is no other cause which merits our heart’s affection, our physical strength and our mental energy as the church of Jesus Christ.
Most of us have such high hopes for our churches and such ideals of what the church should be, but too often we run into the realities of an impotent, ineffective church. In Acts 2:42-47, we see the early church and how it got off to such a good start.
An Effective Church Is a Learning Church
Have you ever wished you could ask Peter how it was for him to be with Jesus? Do you wish he could describe the scene on the Mount of Transfiguration? Would you like to ask him when it really became clear to him that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the Living God?
The 3,000 who came to Christ on Pentecost Sunday not only had the privilege of hearing the single most effective sermon ever preached, but had the privilege of going on a regular basis and learning from those who had walked with Jesus on this earth. Their experience with Christ and indwelling of the Holy Spirit filled them with an insatiable hunger to learn all they could. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching.
An Effective Church Is a Loving Church
The greatest joys of church life come from those times when we have felt God’s love through our brothers and sisters in Christ. The greatest disappointments come when we have not received God’s love through brothers and sisters at a time when we were in need.
Acts 2:44-45 says, “All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.” This wasn’t enforced socialism. It was simply the impulse in the hearts of the people to see a need and do what they could to meet that need. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of a church where they knew they’d be loved that way?
An Effective Church Is a Worshiping Church
There is great concern for worship in our day. We all have our preferences, whether traditional, contemporary or blended. I believe the early church experienced authentic worship. It had a real and dynamic encounter with the Holy Spirit. It came to know the risen Christ and found in Him the fulfillment of the promise of the ages.
Scripture says, “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” They remembered the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as they came together and did life together.
An Effective Church Is a Witnessing Church
There can be no doubt God was doing something in the midst of these people who would change the lives of millions of people in successive centuries. Before anything else, they had to have an effective witness in their context. Many people seem to have the idea that the more they stand up for Jesus, the more people will hate them. Our witness may arouse opposition at times, but I find it striking that the words that were written about this church are that they were “praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
The need of our hearts, of our lives and of our hours is for a church that is functioning as God intends in learning, loving, worshiping and witnessing.

Illustration: Friendship, No Thank You
J. Michael Shannon
In a recent “Pickles” comic strip, a man comes up to a character named Earl, who is seated on a park bench, to introduce him to a new friend. Earl interrupts with a strong, “Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.” The man apologizes, saying, “I’m sorry. You’ll have to forgive Earl. He feels he has already met more people than he can possibly remember, so he’s not accepting any more acquaintances at this time.”

This Christmas give a gift that makes a difference
Your Action Today Will Change Someone’s Life Tomorrow
Thank you for your overwhelming support. With your year-end and Christmas donations this year, we met and exceeded our goal. This means we can continue to provide services to help women and young families when they encounter challenges related to a pregnancy or raising a young family in a difficult situation.
At the Pregnancy Care Centres in Calgary, Strathmore and Airdrie, we’re committed to helping reduce the challenges our clients encounter when facing an unanticipated pregnancy. We do this by providing them with accurate information, connections to community, and ongoing support for as long as they need.
This year has looked different while we’ve kept our distance from loved ones to help protect those most at risk. These restrictions have affected all of us, but even more so it impacts struggling young families. The season can be stressful for many, but this year is uniquely challenging. These new moms and their small families are isolated at home, often without any external supports.
Your donation will give the gift of connection and hope to families adjusting to parenthood in this challenging season. If you would like to make a year-end donation, you can by following this link.
Your action today can change the lives of young families —like Cardelia & Marcel’s.
“The centre not only helped me mentally prepare for becoming a mom, but it literally changed my life in ways that I can’t even explain. It was my neutral ground, my safe haven. I’m just really really grateful for everything that the centre has done for my son and me.” — Cardelia
I came down to pick up the gift box for new born today at Calgary Pregnancy Care Centre. I’m really overwhelmed by the gifts received. Due to this pandemic, we have had a very tight financial situation and I’m really glad that I connected with the right place at the right time. Once again thanks a ton for these gifts, it was more than I asked for and I’m very pleased. Thank you for your effort. Keep us in your prayers !!

How to Recognize Employee Accomplishments
This is a guest post from Linda Ginac, founder and CEO of TalentGuard, a global provider of award-winning career pathing and talent management software. Inventive and driven, she is known throughout the industry for disrupting HR technology and is the inventor of the first commercially available career pathing software solution designed to optimize employee engagement and retention.
Many HR departments around the world face the same challenge: effectively managing a diverse workforce. Part of the struggle in talent management for companies is understanding employee needs and how to fulfill them over time. While some organizations thrive in this arena, others fall short, creating an environment where employees are disengaged, lacking morale, and on the hunt for a new position at a different company.
Keeping employees connected with the work they do and the organization that employs them is tightly linked to recognition. The companies that have high retention rates, attract the best talent, and maintain an engaged workforce over time understand the importance of recognition across all facets of the company. However, providing timely, accurate recognition to the employees who deserve it the most is often easier said than done.
Fortunately, technology has created new ways to deliver employee recognition for the accomplishments they achieve, most notably through performance management software.
Why Recognition is Necessary
Before understanding how performance management software affects positive change in recognizing employees, it is essential to know why recognition is so valuable.
First and foremost, employees around the world are, more often than not, disengaged in the work they do. One driving force behind a lack of engagement is a lack of recognition from peers, managers, and the company as a whole. Employees are more prone to be highly engaged on the job when they are happy, and happiness is a direct outcome of recognition.
Proving employee recognition not only improves the mood and therefore the engagement of individuals; it also creates a workforce that is more likely to stick around for the long-term. High turnover rates cost companies millions each year, and low retention bleeds into wasted recruiting efforts.
Organizations can keep turnover expenses down while simultaneously attracting top talent by having a culture built on recognition. Performance management software lends a necessary hand in this process.
Effortless Recognition with Performance Management Software
Over the last several years, a shift in performance management has taken place among companies in nearly all industries. Instead of focusing on out-dated tactics for delivering performance reviews and appraisals, organizations are moving toward continuous performance management with the help of technology. Performance management software allows companies to create a system that connects organizational and individual objectives while offering real-time feedback and recognition based on employee accomplishments. Managers and supervisors have a seamless way of recognizing and rewarding team members for a job well done, based on their contributions to the whole.
In addition to real-time, accurate feedback and recognition for employees, performance management software also acts as a comprehensive review system. There is no need for managers to rely on old or irrelevant information about an employee’s performance for the appraisal process. Instead, they can use the data found in the performance management system to inform the review more efficiently. This allows employees to feel more connected with the company, and ultimately, recognized for the work they have done over time.
Finally, companies that use performance management software may also use ancillary systems to help with employee recognition indirectly. For example, implementing a career pathing software makes it easier for employees to take control over their career development and progression over time. When these details are easily seen by management, the information can be used to dictate recognition activities and valuable feedback for individuals.
Understanding why employee recognition is important in today’s work environment is a must for any organization wanting to improve outcomes. While not every organization uses the same strategy, implementing a system that includes a modern approach to performance management with a focus on recognizing employees makes the process easier and more efficient. Companies that want to increase engagement, keep retention rates high, and attract new talent can use performance management software to achieve these objectives over time. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1484 | {"url": "https://www.profilesasiapacific.com/2019/01/10/recognize-employee-accomplishments/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.profilesasiapacific.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:44:25Z", "digest": "sha1:TZW4UKCOCT56SWZBYHTJQFQVGA2CON22"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4721, 4721.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4721, 8773.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4721, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4721, 250.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4721, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4721, 264.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4721, 0.42362003]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4721, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4721, 0.06376518]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4721, 0.05870445]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4721, 0.00657895]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4721, 0.00385109]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4721, 0.09627728]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4721, 0.43758967]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4721, 5.67001435]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4721, 5.14147413]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4721, 697.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 428, 1.0], [428, 852, 1.0], [852, 1286, 1.0], [1286, 1455, 1.0], [1455, 1484, 0.0], [1484, 1647, 1.0], [1647, 2001, 1.0], [2001, 2297, 1.0], [2297, 2500, 1.0], [2500, 2560, 0.0], [2560, 3227, 1.0], [3227, 3750, 1.0], [3750, 4193, 1.0], [4193, 4721, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 428, 0.0], [428, 852, 0.0], [852, 1286, 0.0], [1286, 1455, 0.0], [1455, 1484, 0.0], [1484, 1647, 0.0], [1647, 2001, 0.0], [2001, 2297, 0.0], [2297, 2500, 0.0], [2500, 2560, 0.0], [2560, 3227, 0.0], [3227, 3750, 0.0], [3750, 4193, 0.0], [4193, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 42, 5.0], [42, 428, 57.0], [428, 852, 66.0], [852, 1286, 67.0], [1286, 1455, 21.0], [1455, 1484, 4.0], [1484, 1647, 22.0], [1647, 2001, 63.0], [2001, 2297, 45.0], [2297, 2500, 28.0], [2500, 2560, 6.0], [2560, 3227, 93.0], [3227, 3750, 80.0], [3750, 4193, 63.0], [4193, 4721, 77.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 428, 0.0], [428, 852, 0.0], [852, 1286, 0.0], [1286, 1455, 0.0], [1455, 1484, 0.0], [1484, 1647, 0.0], [1647, 2001, 0.0], [2001, 2297, 0.0], [2297, 2500, 0.0], [2500, 2560, 0.0], [2560, 3227, 0.0], [3227, 3750, 0.0], [3750, 4193, 0.0], [4193, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 428, 0.0], [428, 852, 0.0], [852, 1286, 0.0], [1286, 1455, 0.0], [1455, 1484, 0.0], [1484, 1647, 0.0], [1647, 2001, 0.0], [2001, 2297, 0.0], [2297, 2500, 0.0], [2500, 2560, 0.0], [2560, 3227, 0.0], [3227, 3750, 0.0], [3750, 4193, 0.0], [4193, 4721, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 42, 0.0952381], [42, 428, 0.02849741], [428, 852, 0.01179245], [852, 1286, 0.00691244], [1286, 1455, 0.00591716], [1455, 1484, 0.10344828], [1484, 1647, 0.00613497], [1647, 2001, 0.00847458], [2001, 2297, 0.00675676], [2297, 2500, 0.00985222], [2500, 2560, 0.08333333], [2560, 3227, 0.005997], [3227, 3750, 0.00764818], [3750, 4193, 0.00677201], [4193, 4721, 0.00568182]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4721, 0.39418858]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4721, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4721, 0.10481042]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4721, -187.63628758]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4721, 48.24752856]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4721, -29.57641617]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4721, 31.0]]} |
Voices from Rwanda
Progetto Rwanda Onlus was born in 1998, just a few years after the end of the genocide against the Tutsi, the tragedy that shook Rwanda in 1994, marking one of the most dramatic and darkest pages of the twentieth century.
The purpose of the Association, which is based on the voluntary work of its founders, is to promote projects in those sectors of intervention that it deems of particular importance, such as the promotion and protection of childhood, the defense of rights, dignity, and freedom of choice for young people and women who live in particularly difficult situations. Therefore, since its establishment, the commitment of the Association has been mainly aimed at:
Encourage schooling for the largest possible number of children and young people living in the poorest areas of Rwanda, through Sponsorship Project, active in various areas of the country.
Fighting school dropout, child labor, and malnutrition of children, through the creation of School Canteens in Kibaya and Kicukiro, which have been active for years now, offering a complete meal to thousands of children every day.
Support Micro Entrepreneurship projects, with the consequent creation of income-generating activities, for the empowerment and autonomy of women in highly vulnerable situations.
All projects are designed, implemented, and monitored by local staff, in collaboration with the district authorities.
Progetto Rwanda Onlus collaborates with numerous local associations and since 2014 it has been recognized by the Rwandan Government as an International Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).
In Italy, it adheres to the National Coordination for Distance Support “La Gabbianella Onlus”.

Brindle Pug – Why (Not) To Have One?
By Author Christina Jones
Posted on Published: December 10, 2022 - Last updated: February 20, 2023
They are one of the most loved dog breeds in the world. Coming all the way from China, they swept us off our feet with their cute wrinkly faces.
I am sure you have seen Pugs with a fawn coat color. They have the fawn coat and the black muzzle and ears, and they can be seen in movies, TV shows, cartoons — you name it.
What about other colors? According to the AKC (American Kennel Club), Pugs can only come in two coat colors — the black Pug, and the fawn Pug.
But, Pug breeders and Pug owners disagree with this AKC breed standard. The breeders have successfully developed other Pug colors such as apricot, chocolate, and… the magnificent brindle Pug!
You’ll see there is an ongoing debate regarding brindle Pug puppies. Some say they are not purebred, others say they are. Whatever the truth is… they are gorgeous and very rare.
But, there’s more to it than just their color. Pugs come with certain health concerns we need to be aware of. That’s why no matter how cute the Pug dog is, we have to ask ourselves if it is alright to mindlessly accept new breeding standards for this dog breed just because they are cute.
Let’s talk about everything you need to know about brindle Pugs, and why (not) to have one as a family dog.

What Is A Brindle Pug?

Let’s make it clear right away — the brindle Pug is not a separate dog breed. It is a coat color variation of the standard Pug breed. There are some who claim that because of the brindle coat, they might not be purebred, but we’ll talk about that in a bit.
All Pugs come from the same place — 400 B.C. China — where they were bred to be lap dogs or companion dogs for Chinese royalty. Back in the day, they didn’t have Pugs with a brindle coat color. At least, there is no concrete proof.
Also, the ancestors of brindle Pugs (and all Pugs in general) were bigger, they had longer legs, and what’s most important — their muzzle was longer.
Today, the Pug is a small dog breed. They usually weigh around 16 to 19 pounds, and they are up to 11 inches tall. There are also Teacup Pugs — a smaller version of the standard Pug.
As for their coat color, I mentioned that the AKC accepts only two coat colors: black and fawn. But, there are many non-standard coat colors, like our brindle Pug or even a white Pug.
Now, the brindle gene is what makes the “purebred or not” debate. Let’s see why that is a question at all.
Are They Purebred?
The assumption that brindle Pugs are not purebred comes from the fact that the American Kennel Club only accepts two coat colors of Pugs.
This, on the other hand, comes from the belief that these were the original coat colors of the first Pugs. Black coats and fawn coats — that’s it.
No other colors were present at the beginning of making the Pug breed, and reputable breeders working according to the AKC Pug breed standards have the goal of following these breeding program rules.
Of course, we don’t know for sure whether there were no brindle Pugs at the beginning of the making of this breed. This dog is such an old breed that it is impossible to keep track of every dog and breeding program in the whole world.
That’s why there is the possibility that a brindle Pug is, in fact, a purebred Pug. Those who oppose the thought that they are purebred say that brindle Pugs were made by cross-breeding. They say brindle Pugs are designer or hybrid dogs — in other words, mixed dogs.
A designer (or a hybrid dog) is a dog made by cross-breeding two purebred dogs. In this case, some say that a purebred Pug was crossbred with another dog breed that had the brindle coat color.
Is There Proof?
No, there is no proof that a brindle Pug is a mixed dog. But, DNA testing done on the majority of brindle Pugs are inconclusive to say that they are 100% purebred.
What does this tell us? It tells us that there are purebred brindle Pugs, and that there are some designer brindle Pugs.
In other words, Pugs are very popular all around the world, not just in the States. The fact that they are so popular and such an old breed at the same time, tells us that there are many breeding programs, and Pug breeders in the U.S. and all around the globe.
Some of these breeding programs make a brindle Pug by using other brindle dog breeds. And, some of these breeding programs keep the line pure and use only true, pureblooded brindle Pugs to make more brindle Pug doggies.
Are purebred brindle Pugs rare? They most certainly are! They have been rare in the past, and they are rare now.
Does it matter if you know you have a 100% purebred brindle Pug? In my opinion, and the opinion of many other pug lovers and dog lovers in general — no, it doesn’t.
Having a brindle Pug is an issue only if you plan on taking your dog to a dog show or if it’s really important to you to have an AKC-registered Pug.

The brindle Pug looks just like any other dog of this breed, except for the color, of course. They have a unique coat pattern called brindle. This pattern is what makes them so rare.
The brindle color means that they have a solid brown base color, and dark-brown or black stripes all over their body, with a typical black “thumbprint” on their forehead.
This thumbprint is actually a small black patch on their head. The stripes are not well separated, and they usually blend with each other, making patches of dark-brown or black color.
Besides color, they are small, stocky, and muscular dogs, with famous wrinkles on their face just like the rest of the Pugs.
They belong to a group of dogs that have a so-called “flat face”. These types of dogs are called brachycephalic dog breeds, and besides Pugs, there are other breeds with this physical characteristic; for example, French Bulldogs, Pekingese, Boxers, etc.
Today’s modern Pugs have bulgy eyes and lots of health issues… not just with their eyes, but they have a lot of breathing problems and skin problems as well.
These problems have nothing to do with the brindle pattern on their coat. We’ll talk about the health issues and the controversy regarding breeding this dog breed later.
First, let’s see how you get the brindle coat color on a Pug. It’s time to take a look into your cute Pug’s genes and see what we have there.
How Do You Get The Brindle Color?
During the developmental process of a dog that is inside the uterus, all dog colors start from only two pigments — a black one, called eumelanin, and a red one, called pheomelanin. All other colors develop from these two pigments.
Genes play the main role in the further development of all other colors. There are 8 genes responsible for coat color variations in dogs. On these genes, there are “places” or “spots” on them called loci. And, furthermore, each locus has two alleles — one from each parent.
Bear with me — the most complicated part is behind us.
Our brindle Pugs have an E locus (or extension locus) that gives them a black muzzle, and they have a K locus that makes their coat brindle.
Of course, even though these two loci are the most dominant, they interact with other loci as well. Depending on this interaction, a Pug can also have a coat color, which is called a reverse brindle Pug.
A reverse brindle Pug has a much darker base coat color — almost black, which makes the stripes appear lighter. So, instead of having a Pug with dark stripes on a brown coat, this Pug looks like a black Pug with light-brown stripes.
Do Brindle Pugs Behave Differently?
While they surely are rare, their personalities are similar to other Pugs. They are Pugs, and as such, they have the same personality traits as the rest of the dogs of this breed.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that each Pug is exactly the same dog with the exact same traits. No… every dog is unique, with its own doggy personality.
But, hundreds of years of deliberate breeding programs have made this dog breed one of the best dogs for almost any dog owner. What are the traits of the best dog for any pet owner?
1. Affectionate And Adjustable
These dogs were bred to be companion dogs. They weren’t bred to be guard dogs like Pit Bulls or German Shepherds — they are lap dogs.
A lap dog is very affectionate with its owner, and easily and quickly adapts to any living quarters. No matter if you live in a huge farmhouse with a big yard, or downtown, Pugs are small, and they adjust to any kind of lifestyle.
They are adjustable not only because they are small, but they also don’t need a lot of exercise — they are low-energy dogs. This breed of dog is not very famous for long walks or hikes with its owner. They go for short walks, easy play, and certainly no hikes.
Another amazing fact is that these dogs get along very well with children of all ages, and they go quite well with other dogs no matter the breed.
2. Playful
Don’t mistake them for dogs without any desire to play. They are very playful and mischievous. A brindle pug will certainly keep you entertained, not just because you can’t stop looking at their lovely brindle patterns, but also because they are very cute and comical at the same time.
Toss them a toy and enjoy the spectacle. But, here’s the problem — don’t over-exercise your Pug. They have breathing problems that we will talk about, so keeping their play balanced is the key to their happy life.
3. No Barking
Well, in fact, they do bark, but they don’t bark a lot. This is another trait that makes them perfect for apartment living. They are small — they don’t need much space, and they are not vocal. No one is going to complain about your barking dog in the middle of the night.
On the other hand, a dog that doesn’t bark often is not a very good watchdog. But, then again — if you want a watchdog, you wouldn’t be looking for a Pug.
If you are looking for a guard dog or a watchdog, but you don’t want a big dog breed, you can take a look at these 21 little dogs that make great guards.
4. Trainable
There are many reasons why this color variation of the Pug breed is so popular… not just because they are rare, and we all know people want what they cannot have or what is hard to get. And, it’s not just because of their brindle color.
It is also because they are so easy to train. Why is that? Well, we have to go way back to the Chinese emperors who wanted these dogs in the first place. The entire personality of a brindle Pug and any other Pug revolves around its owner.
That’s why they were bred for — companionship.
They want to please their owner, and they want to do what their owner wants them to do. That means if you want to teach your doggo to sit and roll — they will sit and roll. Do you want to show a new trick to your friends and teach your Pug to give a paw on command? They’ll do it!
Pugs are trainable, and they will quickly learn what they should and should not do. But, you will have to use positive reinforcement. They can’t understand English, but they do speak the ‘Dog Treats’ language.
5. Separation Anxiety
With all that affection and love in their cute, bulgy eyes comes a problem — separation anxiety. This problem occurs when a dog is too attached to its owner.
They cannot stand to be apart from them, and they’ll do what’s necessary to show you that they miss you or that they feel awful for being alone. They might bark, become destructive, cry or whine, carry a toy around, etc.
If you know that your schedule or working time doesn’t make it possible for you to spend a lot of time with your new brindle Pug pup or adult dog — then this might not be the dog for you.
As I already mentioned, this dog was made to be a human companion. They easily get attached to their owner, and just as easily get too emotional when they are left alone for a long time.
If your schedule suddenly changes (because… life happens), then there are ways to keep your dog distracted as much as possible while you are gone. You can give your brindle Pug some interactive dog toys for him to play with.
Some people leave soothing music on or special soothing sounds for their pooches while they are away, or you can get another dog or another pet — if that is possible.
What Health Problems Do Brindle Pugs Have?
Unfortunately, a Pug can have a lot of health issues. This is the main reason for the question — should I get a Pug?
This question goes much deeper. The debate should be about breeding “modern” pugs in general. What is the problem? It is in their skull anatomy and consequential abnormal tissue development, which makes it very hard for them to breathe properly.
This is called Brachycephalic syndrome, and it is common in other dog breeds as well. Actually, dog breeds with this syndrome are already banned in Norway and the Netherlands, while some other countries (e.g., the UK) are expecting to ban these dog breeds.
1. Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome
The name comes from two Greek words — brachy, and cephalic. The first one means short, and the latter one means head. So, these dogs have a “short head” or a flat face.
What exactly does that mean:
Their muzzle is short
Eyes bulgy
Very narrow nostrils
Elongated soft palate
Laryngeal collapse
Hypoplastic trachea
Obstructed airway flow
All of these things make it very hard for a Pug to breathe. These problems are the same for the brindle Pug and any other Pug coat color variation.
Brachycephalic airway syndrome is the main reason for countries and their kennel organizations around the world to ban the breeding of these dogs. It is considered inhumane to breed them because of the breathing problems these dogs have.
2. Encephalitis
This disease is only common among Pugs, so it is also called Pug Dog Encephalitis. This is a disease that affects the brain. It is the inflammation of brain tissue, and the origin is still unknown.
Some veterinarians believe that it is hereditary, but this has not yet been proven to be true. What is known is that it mostly occurs in Pugs that are older than one year.
Unfortunately, this disease cannot be cured. There are ways to make the quality of life of your dog better. But, in most cases, the humane thing (and inevitable thing) to do is euthanize the dog.
On the bright side, this disease is not that common. There are DNA tests that can determine the risk of having this disease. This new DNA testing scheme has been issued by the UK Kennel Club in 2019.
What are the symptoms:
These symptoms can be a sign of some other neurological disease. So, the best thing to do is take your dog to the vet as soon as you notice some of these symptoms.
If you still want a brindle Pug, no matter the brachycephalic syndrome or the possible risk of encephalitis, here’s another health issue to think about before actually getting yourself a pug puppy.
They are prone to obesity. This is not that hard to imagine given the fact that they are not that active. It’s not just because they don’t have the desire to run around all day long, but also because they can’t. They need breaks to catch some air.
And, they love to eat. So, when you combine these two things, what do you get? An overweight brindle Pug. Still very cute, but with more health issues around the corner.
The most important thing to do is follow the Pug feeding chart and stick to it. You can give your brindle doggo two meals a day — one in the morning and one in the evening.
Also, keep the treats to a minimum. If you have other pets, like cats, keep the Pug away from the cat’s food. If you are not sure how to do that, you can check out some tips and tricks here: How to stop a dog from eating cat food.
Another important thing is to give your brindle Pug high-quality dog food. This means the food is rich in proteins and low in carbohydrates. Also, the food should have an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals.
Besides giving your dog high-quality food and smaller meals, you can put a leash on your dog and take it for a walk. There are special harnesses for Pugs, and there are also special toys for Pugs to keep them active and help them lose weight.
Just be careful when it comes to playtime and walkies. Remember… Pugs have breathing problems, so they will need a lot of breaks to catch their breath during playtime.
4. Other Health Problems
Besides breathing problems, encephalitis, and obesity, if you get a brindle Pug, you have to know that they can also have eye problems and problems with their joints.
The most common eye problems in Pugs are:
Cherry eye
As for their joints, they are prone to patellar luxation — something a lot of small dog breeds have a problem with.
What Is Their Life Expectancy?

If you get a brindle Pug from a reputable brindle Pug breeder, then the chances of it developing serious health problems are down to a minimum.
Reputable breeders will make sure they only breed dogs that are cleared of hereditary diseases. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent breathing problems or eye problems. It is the way that this breed looks, and this is the (high?) price these dogs have to pay.
If everything is alright, meaning nothing serious happens and you keep your dog healthy and happy, they can live up to eighteen years. That is a long lifespan compared to some other dog breeds.
But, that means you will have to take care of this dog for a long time, and they are not an easy breed to take care of, no matter what people say. People often think that because they don’t need a lot of grooming, they are easy to take care of.
This is true… you won’t have to spend a lot of time on grooming your Pug, but you will have to keep those wrinkles clean every day, make sure they can breathe properly, give them enough exercise, (but not too much), express their anal glands every couple of weeks, etc.
Do you still want a brindle Pug? Well done! You are worthy of its majesty, the Pug! Let’s see where to get one (or two).
Where Can You Find A Brindle Pug?
Because this is a popular breed, you will find a lot of Pug breeders. But, a brindle Pug is very rare. Most breeders have fawn and black Pugs.
As you already know, these are AKC-accepted colors, so in order to have an AKC-registered dog, they need to be of this coat color. But, there are some breeders that have brindle pups. One of them is Loda’s Pugs, from Salem, Oregon, and another one is Tipping Point Farm, from Ohio.
You can also check out some of the adoption and rescue places, along with websites, to see if they have a brindle Pug. Here are some websites:
Pug Rescue Of Northern California
Pug Nation (from LA)
DFW Pugs (Texas)
If you want a Pug, but you are not crazy about the pedigree and just want a happy and healthy pup, you can search for a so-called Retro Pug. This is an “older” version of the Pug, from the mid-1900s.
They have a longer muzzle and fewer breathing problems — sometimes not at all. The idea was to take a step back and breed a Pug that doesn’t have so many health issues.
Even though this breed has other dog breeds in its gene pool, for example, a Jack Russell Terrier — it might be a big step for future generations of Pugs. This could bring the breed back to its origins when they were much healthier dogs.
In the end, we can say that a brindle Pug is a rare gem in the dog world. They have unique coat patterns and markings, which make them even more desirable among Pug lovers.
But, we’ve seen there is a problem regarding their “pureness”. Some people think they are not purebred, and as such, are not accepted by many breeders. On the other hand, there is no proof to this statement.
So, brindle Pugs stay purebred until proven otherwise.
Something that doesn’t need proof is their health. If you really want a brindle Pug, you have to know all the possible health issues they can have. It is not just owning a Pug and feeding it… they need proper and constant care.
Also, keep in mind that Pugs love to love, and to be loved. So, get ready for a little doggy-shadow following you wherever you go. To avoid separation anxiety, you’ll have to make a good puppy schedule and stick to it as much as possible.
All in all, a brindle Pug is a beautiful and amazing pet to have. They will show affection, they’ll play with you, and they fit into any lifestyle.
If you are ready to give a little extra time to taking care of this dog’s unique health problems — then there is no doubt that a Pug will make you happy.

Personalized Media Communications, LLC, v. Apple Inc. (Fed. Cir. Mar. 13, 2020)
In concluding that the claim term "an encrypted digital information transmission including encrypted information" in U.S. Patent No. 8,191,091 is limited to all digital signals contrary to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's interpretation, the Federal Circuit stated that:
"Even where “prosecution history statements do not rise to the level of unmistakable disavowal, they do inform the claim construction.” "[T]he Board erred by effectively requiring the prosecution history evidence to rise to the level of a disclaimer in order to inform the meaning of the disputed claim term. Assuming without deciding that PMC’s statements and amendments were inadequate to give rise to a disclaimer, we still find that the prosecution history provides persuasive evidence that informs the meaning of the disputed claim phrase and addresses an ambiguity otherwise left unresolved by the claims and specification."
The Federal Circuit thus vacated the Board's anticipation and obviousness determinations and affirmed the remainder of its determinations.

A Rich History
Rabobank was founded in the 1890s by farmers as a small cooperative of banks serving their rural communities. The cooperative model was designed to provide a fair and reliable source of credit to local customers through a system of shared liabilities, pooled resources, and reservation of profits.
Rabobank expanded its business scope and geographic presence throughout the 20th century, adding a broader range of banking and financial services to meet the needs of its customers in the Netherlands and internationally.
Even as the bank grew into one of the world's largest financial institutions, the Rabobank Group has remained a cooperative organization—operating on the same principles, and dedicated to serving our customers and their communities.

About Our Name and Logo
Pronounced RAH' boh bank, our unique name is derived from two banking cooperatives that began operating in the Netherlands at the end of the 19th century:
The Cooperative Association of Raiffeisen Banks
The Cooperative Central Boerenleenbank (in English: Farmer's Credit Bank)
These banks merged in 1972 to form a single cooperative bank: Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen Boerenleenbank BA. The Ra from Raiffeisen and Bo from Boerenleenbank were merged into the new entity Rabobank.
Our sundial logo symbolizes how Rabobank stands by customers as their needs change over time—helping them achieve their financial goals at every stage of life.

“They Can’t Touch You” by Joe Pierre
Joe Pierre
THEY CAN’T TOUCH YOU
she says, I got a new job, it’s at this strip joint near the airport, but it’s classy, and he says, you’re kidding, right?
she says no, she isn’t kidding, it pays $300 a night and the guys can’t even touch you. and the dancing isn’t sleazy, there’s an art to it, you have to have some talent.
he says, are there poles? and she says, no, but there’s a railing.
and do you put your panties on the guys’ heads?
no, she answers, like I said, it’s artistic and besides you come out naked already, so it’s not like there’s any place for them to put tips, well, except, you know, but they can’t touch you.
they can’t touch you, you mean.
yeah, she says, and there’s something called table dancing, and that’s when you dance for just one guy in the booth and that pays more.
I see, and what does he do while you’re dancing?
nothing, aren’t you listening? he doesn’t do anything, they aren’t allowed to touch you. you’re not even listening, you’re just sitting there judging.
I’m listening, they can’t touch you. but they can touch themselves. the booths must get pretty sloppy.
that’s disgusting. it’s a classy joint.
do the guys wear suits?
no, she says and he says, uh huh, I see.
then she says, listen, you’re not going to have a problem with this are you? because that would just be too bad.
how could there be a problem? listen, he says, tell me where the place is and I’ll stop by sometime. should I bring some dollar bills? no, I know, there’s no tipping, we can’t touch you. that’s good, that we can’t touch you. I don’t think I’d like it if we could all touch you.

Matrimonial/Family Law
Rosemarie Barnett
Rosemarie Barnett has a depth and breadth of experience in her practice areas. After a stellar academic career where she graduated second in her law school class, Ms. Barnett spent over a decade at some of the largest and most well-known law firms in the nation, litigating complex claims in the areas of class actions, products liability and insurance coverage litigation. She is currently litigating claims in United States District Court, New York Supreme Court, Family Court and Civil Court. Ms. Barnett is experienced in a broad range of litigation including immigration and deportation defense, complex family law and matrimonial matters, fraud and breach of contract claims in federal court and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims. Also, Rosemarie works with other successful attorneys as co-counsel and of counsel in the Metro area on complex litigation, personal injury matters and criminal defense.
While her academic and career credentials are impressive, Ms. Barnett’s finest attributes lie beyond these achievements. She brings heart to her law practice, fighting passionately for the rights of her clients. When it is best for the client to settle amicably, she negotiates the most favorable agreements for them. She is passionate about helping families remain strong, whether it is family reunification through immigration law or bringing peace and fairness in the divorce process. For her commercial clients, Rosemarie brings her depth of legal experience to bear, delving into complex legal issues to best serve her clients and argue for their rights in court.
Prior to graduating with honors as a Salutatorian and Dean’s Fellow at Touro Law Center, Ms. Barnett received her MBA, magna cum laude, from Sacred Heart University. She graduated from Elms College with a Bachelor’s in Accounting and Business Management and a minor in English Literature. Ms. Barnett has been practicing law for 17 years and was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 2002. She is fluent in Hindi.
Ms. Barnett was also the Coordinator and Mentoring Attorney for Touro Law Center’s lawyer incubator from November 2013 to December 2015.

Coming up at Reckless Intent
Posted: February 17, 2016 by
It’s a busy few weeks for Reckless Intent, with three massive shows and a trainee show in the space of six weeks.
First up, Reckless go on the road, hosting their first ever show outside of Livingston and travelling to the village of Twechar on 27 February.
It’s always risky going to a new place but pre-sales have been good and the lads are looking forward to showing what they do to a new audience, who will hopefully become regular visitors to the shows.
A week later and the show returns to its regular home in Murieston Scout Hall on 2 March for Under Pressure. At this show, the familiar faces from the Reckless Intent roster will be joined by two faces making their RI debuts.
“Lord of the Manor” Paul Tracey, hails from the Emerald Isle and has wrestled all over the world, including Japan and USA. He has also had a hand in training some of the best wrestlers in the world, including current WWE star Becky Lynch. “The Lord” will be taking on Michael Chase for the Reckless Intent title and is sure to ruffle a few feathers in the crowd.
For the first time ever, Reckless Intent will be showcasing women’s wrestling at Under Pressure and who better to have in the ring but “The Best in the Galaxy” Nikki Storm. Nikki has also wrestled in Japan, USA and Canada. Speculation is rife as to who will be joining her in the ring for this match.
Also returning to Reckless Intent at Under Pressure will be “The Beast of Belfast” Damian O’Connor. Big Damo featured on the recent TNA Maximum Impact tour and will be appearing on Impact Wrestling on Challenge TV in the near future. On 5 March, he will be taking on current Reckless Intent UK Title holder Massimo Italiano in what promises to be a Battle of the Giants.
Following that will be hard going but on 2 April at We’re Not Gonna Make It, TNA British Bootcamp winner “White Lightning” Mark Andrews will be in action. Mark is a well known face on the Indy circuit in the UK and abroad, notably for CHIKARA and more recently, appearances on Impact Wrestling have raised his profile in the US.
With a Sunday Slam show on 20 March to showcase the talents of the trainees, it is definitely a very busy time for everyone involved.
With new venues and superstars, Reckless Intent is going from strength to strength and with more big announcements to come, things can only get better.

Dale Egger: Here’s a solution for bathroom issue
Dale Egger, Castella
There seems to be a problem about public restroom and which person can use or not use due to their gender. Wanting to be or being forced to be political correct, stores, restaurants, schools, churches, etc., can easily solve the problem. At fairs, auto races, public get-togethers, they use what are called port-a-potties. One toilet, one person, one door, one lock. That one person then can stand, sit and do whatever. No one will ever know or care. Problem solved. This then would leave the door open (no pun intended), for some gung-ho politician to create a new government agency, with some kind of alphabet soup name like they did for the T.S.A. Maybe they could call it, C.R.A.P: Controlled Restroom Attendant Police. Then the government could brag, that it created so many new jobs — at taxpayers' expense. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1494 | {"url": "https://www.redding.com/story/opinion/readers/2016/04/23/dale-egger-heres-a-solution-for-bathroom-issue/93711958/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.redding.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:08:07Z", "digest": "sha1:AQYRS4NLZAZ5SJWTN7YWN3OJWKIRQAXF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 883, 883.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 883, 4671.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 883, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 883, 20.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 883, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 883, 297.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 883, 0.37128713]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 883, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 883, 0.01736614]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 883, 0.03465347]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 883, 0.21287129]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 883, 0.69333333]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 883, 4.60666667]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 883, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 883, 4.4992392]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 883, 150.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 70, 0.0], [70, 883, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 70, 0.0], [70, 883, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 8.0], [49, 70, 3.0], [70, 883, 139.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 70, 0.0], [70, 883, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 70, 0.0], [70, 883, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.06122449], [49, 70, 0.14285714], [70, 883, 0.02583026]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 883, 0.80350375]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 883, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 883, 0.00128639]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 883, -31.33535129]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 883, 12.8298906]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 883, -37.28259487]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 883, 16.0]]} |

Ranbir: I want to be India's biggest star
Last updated on: October 19, 2011 16:40 IST
Image: Ranbir Kapoor
Sonil Dedhia in Mumbai
He is undoubtedly one of the most eligible bachelors in the country, but Ranbir Kapoor has something of a reputation of a Casanova and has been romantically linked to almost every female star in the film industry -- Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Nargis Fakri...
But the young actor, who is eagerly awaiting the release of his film Rockstar, says he has his feet firmly planted on the ground and when the time comes, will make the necessary commitment.
In a free-wheeling chat with Sonil Dedhia, Rockstar Ranbir talks about his film, the Kapoor legacy, and how he copes with the rumours of his various liaisons.
There is quite a contradiction in the character you play in the trailers. Was there something special that you did to prepare for it?
My character changes over a period of time due to certain circumstances in his life, which is always derived from his love story with Heer (played by Nargis Fakhri). He goes from being this immature college-going bum Janaradhan Jakhar, to being the iconic rock star Jordan. We have put in a lot of hard work with the character and with the look of the character. Not just the superficial physical appearance, but also his inner journey.
I have never known anyone like Janaradhan Jakhar -- a Jat boy from Pitampura in Delhi who in the beginning is a wannabe. I did a lot of preparation for this character. (Director) Imtiaz Ali and I went to Pitampura and stayed there with a Jat family and studied their mannerisms -- the way they talk, walk, converse with their family, how they eat, the kind of clothes they wear. We also went drinking and dancing with the family.
I had to do a lot of work to understand my role. When I become Jordan, I learnt to play the guitar and look like a rock star.
'The audience won't find Ranbir in Rockstar'
Image: Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar
What was it like working with a young and like-minded director like Imtiaz Ali?
Imtiaz is a great filmmaker and beyond that, he is such a great person. I have a deep friendship and connect with him which was useful for the film. He has motivated and inspired all of us.
We did a lot to make this character look believable. The audience won't find Ranbir Kapoor, but they will surely be able to connect to my character and all the credit goes to Imtiaz for this.
The music is the soul of the film. Did you learn anything about it?
I had the opportunity to sit with A R Rahman for the music of the film. We flew to Chennai, to his studio, and it was such an enriching experience. As a person and an artist, it is so magical to see him work.
His passion, dedication, and spontaneity, and the way he works in solitude is just amazing. He is so simple and his approach to music is so pure.
'On the sets, Shammi Kapoor was still a young boy'
Image: Shammi Kapoor in Rockstar
You are the last actor to share the silver screen with Shammi Kapoor...
It was our good fortune that we were making a film called Rockstar and we were privileged to have the original rockstar of Indian cinema and of our country, Shammi Kapoor, in the film.
Imtiaz and I tried really hard to get him on board for this film. He has a cameo but it is a very special one, in which he recognises the musical talent of my character, Janaradhan Jakhar and they share a special bond.
I remember, just a day before the shoot he told me 'my physical condition doesn't allow me to do much and I am really nervous whether I'll be able to remember the dialogues.' I told him not to worry and we would take good care of him. When I hung up the phone, I realised that it was Shammi Kapoor who was trying to get some confidence from me, a newcomer. You can see the humility in him.
On the sets, he was still that young boy who was nervous and anxious and was rehearsing his lines. He was flirting with the assistants and telling us instances of his early days. We are grateful that a man like him left us with so much of love and dignity for this film.
'I don't want to embarrass my parents'
You are often called a Casanova, a playboy. Does that bother you?
Not at all. I am here for the bigger picture. I know that the audience will like me for my films and the work that I do. An actor's life is attached to these frills. You can't focus too much on it. I can't stand up and contradict everything that is said against me.
I am here to make movies. I want to be India's biggest star and for that I need to really focus on my work. If I do good work, all this will be forgotten. But then, maybe I am not good at my job and that's the reason so much attention is paid to all this.
How do your parents react to this?
My parents have been very supportive and they know how much I love my work. They respect me and the little success that I have achieved so far. I don't want to embarrass my parents. There is a lot of respect that they command in this industry and I don't want to demean that.
I don't take my position for granted in this industry and they have never had any problems with all the rumours. They have never had any bitterness come between us or have voiced their concerns. They know that I am here for the right reason.
'I am being linked with Nargis because I am doing a film with her'
Image: Ranbir Kapoor with Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar
There's been talk about problems between Katrina Kaif and you. Any truth in it?
Katrina is a talented and successful actor and I have been lucky to work with her so early in my career. She is a great friend and I am looking forward to working with her again. Just because I am not working with her now, they have stopped linking me with her and have started linking me with someone else.
And that someone else is Nargis Fakri, your co-star in Rockstar. Rumours also say that you broke up with Katrina because of Nargis...
Yes, I am being linked with Nargis because I am doing a film with her. Just because I dine out and hang around with my co-actor means I am dating her. It is all rubbish. Our lives are not as interesting as it comes out in the newspapers every day. We work really hard and have to make a lot of sacrifices in our personal life.
Do these link-ups affect your working relationship?
We don't have affairs behind closed doors. There is a sense of commitment and a normal relationship that anyone wants to have. As I said, actors are also normal human beings. I am just 29 years old and have been honest with my work. If I am dating anyone I will say it. I have always been very frank about my relationships.
Let's set the record straight. Are you single?
Yes, I am single.
'My mother is very fond of Nargis'
Image: Nargis and Neetu Kapoor
Photographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Your mother Neetu Kapoor is very close to Nargis...
Nargis came to this city when she didn't know anyone. She doesn't have any friends or family here and lives alone. My mother is very fond of her. They exercise together and exchange health secrets. My mother is very friendly in nature and she is close to all my friends.
Have you ever thought of marrying an actress?
I can't say anything about that because love can happen any time. It's just that chances of me marrying an actress are high because those are the people who I meet and interact with. Cinema is my world and that's one of the main reasons actors and actresses get married to each other. Usually, beyond films we don't have a real life. But, as they say in this industry, never say never. I won't just take the plunge for the sake of it.
You recently said that you had cheated in a relationship. When did this happen?
We all have moments of immaturity and sometimes can be naive in our relationships but I don't know when it happened. It so happens that sometimes we don't understand the meaning of commitment and how it will affect the other person. You cannot take your partner for granted when you are in a relationship and you learn this with experience. I did it out of carelessness but today I am very mature and value my relationships.
'If you are in a committed relationship, you have to be monogamous'
Image: A still from Rockstar
How difficult is it for an actor to have a love life?
It's as difficult as you want to make it. In life everything is hard and nothing happens magically or organically. One has to make some sacrifices and adjustments, and compromises. When you are in a relationship, you have to take out time even if you don't have it. It's like turning a 24-hour day into a 28-hour day.
You have been quoted as saying that you believe in physical monogamy...
If you are in a committed relationship, you have to be monogamous. Marriage in India is always looked up to and is given the highest regard in our society. Marriage expects that you have certain qualities like commitment and monogamy.
'Shammi Kapoor was afraid he might forget his dialogues'
Is Ranbir Kapoor a changed actor today?
I believe so. I have changed because of the people l have worked with. Right from my directors to my hair stylist, everyone has been instrumental in my growth. I really hope that the drive in me to excel never dies. I never want to feel content as that is one of the best motivating factors to grow.
Do you feel the pressure of the Kapoor mantle and taking it forward?
I don't have a chip on my shoulder but at the same time, I don't take it for granted. I know I have a responsibility. My family has been contributing to Indian cinema for 80 years now but if I have to carry it forward, then I have to carry it with my work. I cannot rest on the accolades my family has received over the years. After three-and-a-half years in the industry, I think I have got rid of the star-son tag. People recognise me for my work. I hope I can contribute to cinema as my family has done for so many years. I also hope my grandchildren be a part of movies (Smiles).
Any plans to revive the R K banner?
I have a burning desire to direct a movie. Currently I am very busy with acting and that's the reason I have not thought about making a movie. I want to make it when the story naturally comes out of me and I don't want to make it because people find it cool.
I also don't want to get into direction when people feel my career is in decline. I am passionate about it and want to make a movie I believe in. I have stories to tell but I haven't found the right story. It can happen in the next couple of years.
'Deepika and I have always been good friends'
Image: Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone
You are doing a film with Deepika Padukone?
I'm looking forward to working with Deepika again. We have always been good friends. Ayan Mukherjee's film is a coming-of-age romance, which today's youth can easily relate to and I am really excited about the film.
Will you ever act with Kareena Kapoor?
Yes, why not. Kareena is such a fine talent and she has achieved so much. She is my first cousin and I cannot be romantically paired opposite her but I would love to do a film with her where we play different characters that are not related to each other or romantically linked. We can play brother and sister. If something comes up, I am open to it.
Who do you think is the sexiest actress in Bollywood?
I think everyone is sexy. Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Nargis Fakhri...they all are sexy.
You have to choose one.
I will be selfish as my last film is with Nargis, so I will have to say it is Nargis Fakhri.

Theo Tobiasse is an internationally acclaimed artist originally from Israel and brought to Paris during his childhood in 1942. Tobiasse drew on his life experiences including his two years spent in hiding during World War II. Continuing to paint and draw in France throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s, Tobiasse began to exhibit his work winning numerous prizes and eventually was able to paint full time. Theo expresses his innermost feelings when painting (most happy, some not) Some of the work is so powerful that it inspired a book by Chaim Potok called “Theo Tobiasse: Artist in Exile” which we we also have in the gallery. After traveling extensively throughout the US and Mexico, Tobiasse became influenced by Aztec culture. He continued to work from his studio in France and New York until his death in 2012. We have one of the largest inventories of his signed limited edition lithographs and carborundum etchings. If you’re interested in learning more about this artist, please contact us.

‘What Did I Do That They Took Me From You?’ – My son’s time in care left him feeling like there was something wrong with him.
September 01, 2015 by Lynne Miller
Illustration by YC
My son came home from two years in foster care a scared, angry and confused 6-year-old. I kept telling myself that his fear, anger and confusion would all go away when life was “normal” again, but life never really got normal for us.
Lies and Stealing
I had already successfully raised three children when my youngest son was born. But my son’s father died unexpectedly when I was pregnant with my son, and my mother died just a few years later. I turned to drugs to deal with grief.
When my son was little, we spent a lot of time together, going to the park and friends’ houses. But after my mother died, I became addicted, and then my addiction got out of control. For a year before they took my son from me, I isolated him in his room in front of the TV a lot and we stopped going out like we used to.
After he went into care, we were lucky to have a great foster family that worked with us and stayed in our lives long after my son came home. But when my son was finally released to me, I had to help him not wince and hide every time someone knocked on the door, and I had to get used to the other changes in him: the occasional nightmares, the bed-wetting, his stealing, and his “little white lies” and defiance.
Testing and Control
As he got older, my son would steal from everyone: friends, family, strangers. He’d take money, and he’d also take anything he could “show off” with to friends. He’d lie about where he was, what he’d been up to, where he got stuff.
In part, I think my son was testing me to see whether I really cared enough and was paying enough attention to stop him. But I also think the lies and defiance were his way of being in control. When he was removed from our home, he’d had no control. I think my son was looking for ways to prove to himself he could be the one to make choices—even if they were the wrong ones!
When he defied me, my son also showed me that he didn’t trust me. I’d made some bad decisions in the past and maybe he wasn’t sure I could be trusted to make good ones.
Small Inside
Even though my son tried to act big and tough, I also knew that inside he felt very small. One time some of my son’s classmates found out he’d been in care and they used that fact to taunt him. I know that, when my son was taunted, he felt like the time he’d spent in care was a black stain that people would never let us forget.
The guilt I felt was unimaginable. I felt bad about the mistakes I’d made, and I felt even guiltier because my son seemed to think it had happened because there was something wrong with him.
One time when he was still in care, my son’s foster mother confided in me that my son felt it was his fault that he came into care. She had assured him that going into foster care wasn’t his fault, and later I put my son in therapy because I knew he needed help making sense of what had happened to him. But a couple of years later, when I attended my son’s therapy one day, he asked me: “What did I do that they took me away from you?”
A Long Struggle
My son’s sense that there was something wrong with him came out in smaller ways too. Whenever he had assignments from school that were pretty tough or he decided to do a project, like fix something around the house, he would say, “I’m not smart enough to do this,” or “I’m not good enough to do this.”
I always let him know I would be there to help when I could. Sometimes I would give him a push in the right direction or get someone else to help him. I think all that support made some difference, because when my son completed something, he would speak about himself in a more positive way.
Still, by 16, my son’s anger was so much worse and he hated school so much. I was there for meetings two or three times a week because of all the cutting, fighting, and my son’s smart mouth. He had so much anger bottled up in him that he’d slam doors and even punch holes in my walls. If things didn’t go his way—he’d lose a job or just misplace his wallet—he would make a comment about the world conspiring against him.
Finally, I allowed him to sign out of school and go to work because I was afraid that, otherwise, child welfare would come back into the picture.
A Place Where He Belongs
A positive change for my son finally came about a year ago, when he was 19. He found a sales job that he is good at. He was even promoted through the ranks from worker to area manager. Now my son is less angry than he used to be, and when he does get angry, he doesn’t use his fists. He has also stopped stealing. I think that’s because he has finally found a place where he feels like he’s good at things and he belongs.
I often wonder which of my son’s problems came from him being in care and which ones I caused before he went into care. When child protective services came into my life, I wasn’t being the best mother to my son. Still, I always think about how he must have felt during those two years when I wasn’t there to hug him when he got hurt or even to kiss him good night.
Right now, I am trying to get my son to move out on his own. I think he’s ready to be more independent, but he says he doesn’t want to leave because he doesn’t want to leave me alone. Sometimes, though, I wonder if he still feels that same fear he felt when he was a little boy and they took him from me.

Cubic Pecs and Cowboy Hats:
A Country Roundup
You can pretty much forget country music unless you're old enough or repressed enough to care deeply about monogamy--one-on-one love in all its passion, comfort, consternation, impossibility, and routine. That's why I doubt the Nashville hunks have siphoned much support from Nirvana, Madonna, or Public Enemy; I think Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the rest generate their numbers among natural country fans and converts who've had enough Richard Marx and Bryan Adams. As a city boy with a taste for the stuff, however, I worry anyway. If necessary, I can live with the square chins, cubic pecs, and cowboy hats, and I have no use for the purist claim that there's no true country between honky-tonk get-down and bluegrass high-and-lonesome. But I know that it's rarely beautiful people who sound the best. So I surveyed the current crop of male country albums with uncommon trepidation.
The basic formula hasn't changed. Almost every country album contains 10 songs and lasts 30 or 35 minutes, though some new guys--like Travis Tritt, who's now into guitar solos--stretch the length a little. Even artists who write their own also buy sure shots from full-time songsmiths, and even those who field crack bands rely on a cohort of studio musicians for their recorded settings. Because the key unit is the song, album filler is assumed, and because the form is so narrow, even the rare collection as consistent as Randy Travis's 1988 Old 8 X 10 or Clint Black's 1989 Killin' Time or Garth Brooks's 1991 Ropin' the Wind may strike outsiders as samey or thin. So in this genre, best-ofs make sense.
Ricky Van Shelton's Greatest Hits Plus (Columbia), for instance, offers a big 14 selections from a journeyman who rode in on the neotraditionalist wave of the late '80s. Shelton's fluid baritone isn't long on character, but as a proven hitmaker he ropes in more than his share of can't-miss stuff. Ballads as well-turned as "Life Turned Her That Way" (betrayer), "Somebody Lied" (betrayed), and "Just As I Am" (redeemed) embody an old Nashhville adage: it's the song, not the singer.
Just kidding. Country fans treasure familiar voices as much as they do fetching tunes and pithy Americanese, and not trained or pyrotechnic voices, either. They prefer a talky attack that signifies unpretentiousness, just like the drawl that goes with it--an approach epitomized since 1985 by the easy, subtle, deceptively rich baritone of Randy Travis. Sold separately and programmed with no historical logic, his two new Greatest Hits (Warner Bros.) packages are a rip--all 22 tracks would fit on one CD. But he's so committed to simplicity that the songs hang together like the work of seven weeks instead of seven years. The first volume is more classic, but its companion includes my favorite of his many off-the-rack one-liners: "Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you."
Worried about the hunk invasion, Travis has been doing time in the weight room, but his muscles haven't gone to his head: his previously unreleased new songs here are as hooky as his hits, and treat marriage as an experience to be engaged rather than a subject to be exploited. Clint Black has been rather less vigilant. Spoiled by fame or Hollywood or his own manly profile (he looks so craggy up against his Knots Landing wifey on the cover of People), he's devolved from the terse, guilt-stricken reflections of Killin' Time to the soggy homilies of The Hard Way (RCA). Imagine how trite and condescending a song called "A Woman Has Her Way" could be, and you'll have an idea what Clint considers sentiments suitable to a matinee idol.
This is what I feared from country's pop breakthrough--schmaltz, oomph, and other musical steroids. If Black's relatively mild case is exacerbated by his mild voice, Billy Ray Cyrus's capacity for overstatement only reminds us that the bigger the instrument, the grosser you can get with it. And though I'm glad the guitaristics on T-R-O-U-B-L-E (Warner Bros.) distract hunk-rocker Travis's Tritt from the sexist jive of his countryified It's All About to Change, Hank Williams Jr.-style Allman Brothers imitations are not my idea of great Nashville. So I'm afraid my favorite crossover king is also the world's, or at least the suburbs'.
Like anybody who sells 27 million albums, Garth Brooks is accused of a lot of things, most of them bland. He isn't even a hunk; as early critic Ken Tucker put it, "he has a face like a thumb with a hat on it." But not all suburbanites are as stupid as Michael Bolton believes. Brooks knows a good song whether it's his or someone else's, and he always adds the right quantum of expressiveness to his sweet, strong, unspectacularly adaptable voice. The Chase (Liberty) is burdened by the responsibilities Brooks believes come with success: the lead single is the first song in Nashville history to inveigh, however discreetly, against not just racism but homophobia. There's nothing as wicked as Ropin' the Wind's "Papa Loved Mama," which doesn't bat an eye when mama fucks around or when papa runs her over with his truck. But "Somewhere Other Than the Night," about sex on the farm, and "Learning to Live Again," about a divorcé's blind date, typify his smarts, and only the rodeo song rankles. Having mastered the kind of nice-guy aura that has escaped pop superstars since the days of Cole and Como, Brooks could yet get away with being a liberal.
And give Garth this: his megabucks translate into venture capital for eccentrics who might otherwise be counted too risky for Music City. Stacy Dean Campbell's Lonesome Wins Again (Columbia) is so classic it resists not just schmaltz but steel guitars, so bare-bones it doesn't countenance puns--this is country music as unalloyed sentiment, the sheer tuneful essence of the thing, ringing high and lonesome in your head whether you remember the words or not. Dennis Robbins's Man With a Plan (Giant) is country-rock honky tonk by a songwriter with an eye. Unlike Tritt, Robbins doesn't regard women as torturers or receptacles, and when he tells a joke, which is often, the only one who winces is Dennis.
Two debuts of this quality in a year may not be a Nashville record, though it is since I've been counting. But it's reason to put one's trepidations aside.
