Have you ever come across Mallika’s blog, Quick Indian Cooking? It’s one of my favourites. Not only does she make me laugh with tales of yoga classes and mothers and the Tube and hazily remembered nights out, she also continually posts recipes that I desperately want to try out.
Those of you unfamiliar with Indian food may be wondering what paneer is. Similar in taste to ricotta but much denser, paneer is a mild tasting Indian white cheese. Living in London, I doubt very much that Mallika has difficulty in finding an Indian food shop that sells fresh paneer. Up here in Inverness, however, it’s a different matter. The only paneer I’ve found on sale is some dodgy longlife stuff that felt like rubber in my mouth and tasted like… well, nothing. There was only one thing to do: make my own.
And I did. Like making ricotta, the process was very simple and took under an hour. An hour very well spent, I say. 🙂
(enough for two helpings of Paneer Bhujia)
1 litre full fat milk
4 tblspns white vinegar
- In a heavy based pan, bring the milk up to a boil slowly.
- As soon as the milk begins to boil, add the vinegar, reduce the heat and stir slowly.
- At this point the curds and whey will seperate making the milk look green-ish grey with lumpy white bits. Perfect.
- Line a colander with a tea-towel and pour the mixture into it. Leave for 20 minutes to let the whey drain off.
- Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and shape the cheese into a patty. Tie the cloth with an elastic band around it. Place the cheese parcel on a board with another board on top of it and weigh this latter board down with tins to squeeze out more moisture.
- After another 20 minutes your paneer will be ready. Unwrap and eat immediately or store for up to 24 hours in an airtight container wrapped in the same damp tea-towel. | <urn:uuid:cc3c7ce3-6da4-493d-95c6-0ad1636ee715> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://aweebitofcooking.co.uk/2008/07/17/home-made-paneer/ | 2021-03-05T22:43:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178373761.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305214044-20210306004044-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.952122 | 449 |

Today I want to actually emphasize on highly seen but moderately treated "Gouty Arthritis". Gout which is also known as "BIG TOE" in our laymen terms is actually the joint disease caused by increase in the uric acid levels. When this increase in the particular uric acid levels exceeds than the normal, it leads to the formation of small crystal which gets deposited on the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint. This might further lead to combined inflammation causing pain and limitations of the movements.
- Recently i came across two cases of gouty arthritis.
- The first case was of a 43-year old man experiencing gout.
- The second case was of a 14 year old teenager.
- The symptoms of pain and inflammation were seen on bilateral lower extremities 1st metatarsophalangeal joints.
- The sufferer reports of difficulty in performing heel rise or standing on the toes.
- The patient also reported of pain on hyperextension of the 1st MTP Joint (metatarsophalangeal joint).
Physical Therapy: The most likely goal to be achieved over here is to cut the symptoms of pain and inflammation. To be able to combat pain, physical therapists can use numerous modalities like muscle stimulation, hot packs and gentle mobilization for the joint range improvement. Recently i tried the contrast bath way of the joint pain relief. I could clearly see that the patient confirmed 75% distinction in his complain of pain. The pain lowering might be due to the vasodilation and constriction mechanism due to the contrast bath method. The other technique which I found really attractive as well as worked to my surprise is "Stretching". I found that performing the stretching of peroneus longus proved quite effective for the patient. The patient reported decrease in the pain from 8/10 to be able to 6/10 on the visual analogue scale. The heavy tendons tissue massage also created a positive response in the patient.

Well as we have normally seen gout in the middle age patients I recently came across an article that states that younger patient who are obese can also have problems with gout. The article is presented by Demarco et al (2011). This indeed opens up the options for evidence based research. The research evidence suggest that obesity is not only associated with gout, but young obese patients are also at high risk for the onset of gout.

So How Does this Imply in Our Physical Therapy Practice
If you get an obese young patient with the symptoms of pain and inflammation in the MTP joint, are you going to ever consider other consequences associated with the symptoms? PT's normally come across younger patients with the the signs of pain and inflammation in the foot, ankle, knee and so on. We rather likely take outdoor games as one of the reason for the signs. Whereas for now it is important for us to look back to the symptoms which can be the likelihood of other pathologies and not simply outdoor games.. "Broad Thoughts and pondering out of the box will be an important step in today's PT practice"

The motion resolved to set up a war committee with powers to use spies and to purchase “weapons of war” in order to achieve the “elimination of Magdalen military capacity”.
This motion came in retaliation of a “brutal and unprovoked” attack by Magdalen College in which one member of Catz JCR, Brother Shankar, was allegedly attacked with a shard of glass.
The JCR noted that “his wounds filled the moat with blood”, though this claim has not been verified.
The attack was reported to have occurred after a night out at Bridge after Shankar cut his hand on a piece of glass outside Magdalen.
Shankar commented that the injury “was sustained in a reconnaissance mission after a Catz rally meeting in Park End”.
“I am unable to reveal the details of the operation, but the wound was sustained by a glass bottle, which may or may not have been planted by rival Magdalen agents. The intrigue continues, and this act has become a symbol of our defiance,” he added.
The motion was passed after a rousing speech which called for “solidarity and combat” to stop Magdalen “expanding in a brutal quest for lebensraum”.
The JCR motion included a clause stating: “We will fight them in the car park. We will them on the bridges. We will fight them in the library and in the music house. We will fight them in hall – we will never surrender.”
This spirit was embodied by Sownak Bose, a fourth-year physicist, who commented that “too long have we played the part of the neglected younger brother and lived in Magdalen’s shadow”.
He added: “Resilience will be fierce. I hope this instils renewed solidarity amongst those at Catz.”
Pacifists who opposed the outbreak of war were quickly met with accusations that they were merely Magdalen spies sent to undermine the war effort.
Chris Starkey, the proposer of the motion, commented that the success of his crusade was of utmost importance to the wellbeing of Catz JCR. “It was a necessary step, and I think now that we are in a state of resistance more and more funds need to be diverted to the war effort,” he said.
When asked how Starkey proposed to fight the war he commented: “The next move is to extend the hand of allegiance to neighbouring colleges to try and triangulate then.”
A number of concerns were expressed including fears about the funding of the conflict, but it was resolved that: “Spoils of war can replenish the funds of the war budget.”
A further consideration was the impact hostilites might have on the wildlife caught in no-man’s-land between the two military camps and so the JCR resolved to adopt Magdalen’s deer so as to “save them from the slaughter”.
At the outbreak of war Catz members seemed confident that total victory would be achieved in a matter of weeks. One JCR member commented at the JCR meeting: “We are a larger college and should not be underestimated.”
Matt Reynolds, a combatant from Catz, agreed: “Of course the College will have to suffer somewhat, rationing won’t go down well but I’m sure the Catz spirit will endure, just like it did in the Catz-Univ conflict of ’94. Long live the Republic.”
Both Magdalen and St Catz college officials declined to comment on the impending bloodbath. | <urn:uuid:b3f34f8a-0ab3-45c5-801a-6ee044c1a619> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2013/02/14/st-catz-declare-war-on-magdalen/ | 2022-01-18T16:14:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300934.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20220118152809-20220118182809-00611.warc.gz | en | 0.975111 | 788 |
UA Eller College of Management's MBA program ranked top 50
Matthew Fulton / Arizona Daily Wildcat
Sophomore business students Ahmed Elhag and Henri Crockett study in the Eller courtyard on Wednesday, March 20th.
The UA Eller College of Management’s full-time MBA program is now ranked in the top 50 in the nation.
The program rose from 57th to 44th in the 2014 graduate rankings complied by U.S. News and World Report. The 13-slot climb makes Eller the program with the greatest increase in the top 50 this year, ratifying the title of “MBA Program on the Rise” it was awarded last year.
“We’ve worked really hard to make that change, so it’s great to see that success from all of our hard work,” said Jennifer Bublitz, assistant dean of the Eller MBA program. “We took a look at what they were looking at in the rankings to really understand what could we influence.”
When ranking the nation’s full-time MBA programs, U.S. News and World Report considers peer and recruiter reputation, average GMAT scores, average starting salary, percentage of students employed upon graduation and many smaller factors, according to the website.
“The big changes we made were in the quality of the students we enrolled in our program, specifically measured by the GMAT,” Bublitz said. ”By attracting and enrolling higher quality students, we provide a better experience for all of our students in the classroom.”
Last year the MBA program recruited the strongest incoming class in several years, based on GMAT scores and work experience, and the program promises to keep improving its national ranking by providing students with access to the best jobs on the market through contacts, job postings and networking, Bublitz said.
“I expect that the incoming class for next year will be even stronger than ours was this year because as the rankings improve, stronger students are going to be drawn to this program, which is just going to further strengthen the national ranking of the Eller MBA,” said Carly Gordon, a first-
year graduate student in the MBA program.
The increase in the MBA program’s ranking not only caught the attention of graduate students in Eller, but also sparked interest from undergraduates in the Eller College of Management.
“The ranking definitely influences my decision,” said Dean Avrahami, a sophomore in the Eller undergraduate program, when discussing his plans to apply for an MBA program. “It would definitely influence me because I know that Eller is an amazing school and worldwide, it’s a great
The full-time MBA program was not the only Eller graduate program to be nationally ranked. The evening MBA program ranked 46th overall and Eller’s strongest programs, the Department of Management Information Systems and the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship, ranked 4th and 11th overall, respectively.
Bublitz and Hope Schau, associate dean of the Eller MBA programs, said they hope to continue this upward trend in the national rankings far into the future by setting a high standard of excellence and quality of experience in their programs.
“Hope [Shau] has a vision to deliver an excellent experience to our students and to continue to increase the quality of our incoming classes,” Bublitz said. “We need to just communicate the experience that we offer to a larger number of people so that they know about the number of great programs we have here.” | <urn:uuid:c8925d86-b7d3-4c31-9e60-7a51f11d7a52> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2013/03/ua-eller-college-of-managements-mba-program-ranked-top-50-on-to-us-news-and-world-report | 2017-03-25T09:41:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218188914.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212948-00167-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952191 | 751 |
Why's a 2-player game with "win by two" rule = Gambler's Ruin where each player starts with $2? Why N = 4?
Why can this problem "be thought of as a gambler's ruin where each player starts out with $2"?
Please see my red arrow. Why is this exponent 4? I quote op. cit. p 73.
Example 2.7.3 (Gambler's ruin). Two gamblers, A and B, make a sequence of \$1 bets. In each bet, gambler A has probability p of winning, and gambler B has probability $q = 1-p$ of winning. Gambler A starts with $i$ dollars and gambler B starts with $N-i$ dollars; the total wealth between the two remains constant since every time A loses a dollar, the dollar goes to B, and vice versa.
- Calvin and Hobbes play a match consisting of a series of games, where Calvin has probability p of winning each game (independently). They play with a "win by two" rule: the first player to win two games more than his opponent wins the match. Find the probability that Calvin wins the match (in terms of p), in two different ways:
(a) by conditioning, using the law of total probability.
(b) by interpreting the problem as a gambler's ruin problem.
(b) The problem can be thought of as a gambler's ruin where each player starts out with $2. So the probability that Calvin wins the match is

Not my sight but your sight be won!
I was on a drive today realizing I need to quit losing. I need to quit losing my vision by my own limitations. You've heard the sound biblical advice "not my will but yours be done", well let's also say it is just as applicable to say "not my sight but yours be won" in my life. I need to stop seeing things so differently than you see them, Lord. I need to see heaven on earth and be aware of your heart. There are those in this life that have the eyeglasses of heaven or if you prefer contacts, then they can have the contacts of heaven (no, this kind do not pop out and you have to dig one out of the questionably clean sink and ponder if it is a good idea to put it back in---where?). Those that have this heaven vision shine it in their writing, in their choices, in their faces, they act different, they sound different. When they do something it is new. When they say something it makes you stop and listen. They have wisdom and counsel as if they are learning right from heaven's teaching. Why do we think this is not possible for all? It is attainable depending on what our "seekers seek".
For me to become a seeker of sight, I need to let go of anxiety and the need to be in control.
There was a book written in the 1960's about two social groups and their status, do remember it? Both cliques were at odds with each other over their perceived status. Both groups had their turf and their status and both were trying to figure out who they really were. There is one character who was different and tried to help both sides and be fair to both. She was even misunderstood but her intent was genuine. This story could probably be written about many high schools across the ages and the country, however.
What if we forgot about these unwritten social rules and just were free to be? Why do we have to have such an "outside dominant" focus anyway? What is real and what is truth, who knows unless we act real. Our vision get's muddled by slop on our windshields. Like the poor soul walking in some really nice clean outfit and a truck powers by hitting a mud puddle spraying the poor one completely from head to toe...life dictates to us how we should be in much the same way. This slopping effect in life "teaches" us not to do_____ anymore, not to wear_____ anymore, not to _____...you name it, we are encouraged negatively by others just as we are positively supported. Some teaching by group is good; we learn that our friends are not always right. We learn not to eat with our mouths open, we learn that gossip keeps us from being trusted, but we can also learn how to hide the genuine out of exclusion or fear and lack of acceptance.
What rubs off from others can build us up with new skills, encouragement and knowledge but it also has the potential to undo the best of us if we let it in a negative sense become a measuring bar.
Many are the punishments and tactics charged of us for not fitting into the mold, that was meant to be broken.
If the rules are unwritten and not "golden" maybe they were meant to be broken.
What I mean by the above is that people are meant for people, we are meant to help each other, lift each other, two are better than one because they can keep warm, catch each other when they fall and fight back to back against adversaries. However, if the influence is not genuine what rubs off can remove what is good in us, it can shut down the good in us meant to be uncovered. There is a cost and a punishment some groups of people or persons dish out if we try to be ourselves, whether teasing, holding back some treatment, words or thing to influence something from within us. This kind of behavior comes from weakness and not strength and these people are not being genuine. The golden rule is to treat others as we would want to be treated, if a rule or standard someone is holding you to or judging you by is not of life importance, a value or a biblical truth it probably is not worth worrying about. For example, in my high school certain brand names were the rule, if you didn't wear them you were not "in". Who cares, I don't see their status better off now for the jeans they wore then...it didn't carry them anywhere better now.
But when we learn to somehow measure ourselves by what "they" say, think or believe and we start to make little neat piles arranged for others and not ourselves, that becomes a problem. When we cannot remember what we love, that becomes the problem. When we are so lost within ourselves that we forget reasons, that becomes the problem. We cannot believe lies. We were meant to excel in truth. We were created to be real and be unique. Cookie cutters are not unique. Gingerbread men are all baked at 350 for 10-12 min. and they get frosted and end with the same fate, getting ingested. We are not cookie cutter people. Why is it some in the "limelight" do something crazy different and it is the acceptable but in small town USA someone tried to be themselves and they are made fun of, tormented in their own minds for not measuring up or even cast away?
The first time I heard Jesus died for the likes of me I was one confused girl who was in hiding and not wanting to be found. Please know if you are reading this and feeling stuck in a one size, cookie cutter world- that was not the Creators intent. You were created to be uniquely you, one of a kind, worth dying for. Yes, the Creator sent His one and only son so you might live and live abundantly. This I have seen with my own eyes and it is truth. Chains are broken in Christ if we trust Him and ask Him for His life and His eyes...this vision He has which is beautiful, amazing and worth waiting and living for is available for everyone.
If you would like, pray this prayer with me:
My life feels dry like leaves scattered everywhere...there are always reminders swirling around me that make me feel brittle, I am reminded of my failures, my limitations and my hindrances. However, I hear that you want more for me. I can believe with my mind and heart that you are different and you are not like this world and it's works. I submit my life to you and your ways, to your creative power and Holy Spirit. Lord, take my life and blow it all apart! Take the dry places and remove them in your majestic power. I confess I will stop the work of my arranging and striving to make something out of what I have and I chose to surrender it all; good, bad and beautiful to you. You can make me whole, You can restore the truth. Take all the negative words spoken to me and blow them away in your truth, take all the negative deeds done to me and mightily strike them down in your breath, speak your beautiful words of adoration so I can hear them, let me accept the gift of your life given for me. Take what I see and remove the pieces so that I see heavens view on earth as you see it. Let me stop judging myself and submit my heart to your processes. After all I can never measure up but I can trust you, and I simply gain your acceptance by believing in you, (not by doing or being anything more than what I am right this second). Lord your promises are true and I choose to lean on them and not my own understanding. Take what I have known apart and rebuild me according to the beauty you promise, I choose to believe.

You are covered, even while on the peach (inactive) tablets as long as you took all of the white tablets with no misses. You dont ovulate when you are on the Pill, so if there is no egg released, there can be no pregnancy no matter how many sperm are present. If you miss pills, there can be a chance to ovulate but as long as you took your white pills properly then you are covered even when taking the peach ones. You are protected against pregnancy after you have taken seven consecutive days of active (white) pills or better yet, a full cycle (or month). Does that make sense to you and answer your question?

Apparently, the recent CitiGroup breach was due to an insufficient authorization error. Can you explain a bit about...
how this error works and how to prevent it?
The recent CitiGroup breach was due to insufficient authorization within one of the company's Web applications, and is a common Web security error. However, it can be difficult to identify with automated tools. “Failure to Restrict URL Access” is one of the OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks, and prevention of such attacks is mandated by PCI compliance. The exploit works because the Web application doesn’t check to see if a direct Web request is authorized to access certain data for authenticated users. Basically, the Web application assumes that, if a user is authenticated, the user is authorized to access the webpage and data. Thus, the attacker can manipulate the URL used in the Web application by changing the account number encoded in the URL. In the case of the CitiGroup breach, when the attacker changed the account number, he or she was able to access the data.
Methods to prevent Web application authorization attacks can be broken down into at least two different types: Web application changes and system-level changes. System-level changes could include adding limits to the number of requests a client system can make of a Web app in a short period of time, which could slow the attack and give an organization more time to detect it. Web application changes could be more complicated, since it may not be possible to be automate them. Preventing this specific type of attack requires following the OWASP recommendations and checking authorizations for all page accesses, both of which are possible, but are easier said than done.

My mom and I went to a wedding yesterday for a couple who married later in the age game.
Their parents have all passed away, but they were not forgotten at the wedding Mass. The siblings of the bride and the groom lighted candles in honor of the deceased parents. The names of the parents were listed in the wedding program, with their birth dates and death dates.
And the couple had invited several older friends of the parents, including my 90-year-old mother, in order to have an elder presence there, since their parents could not be. People in the crowd came up to my mom and other elders to pay respect and to reminisce about the couple's deceased parents. Those parents were there in stories, in spirit and in the living who knew them long ago. | <urn:uuid:959ec507-ce96-45e7-a72c-164a144f901a> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/endnotes/2011/jul/24/memory-candles-wedding/ | 2017-12-13T11:51:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948522999.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213104259-20171213124259-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.989578 | 159 |
Paph. sanderianum - close.
What a sad story. An entire stand destroyed in one fell swoop.
These are highly prized Paphs in the trade! These can command up to $300 or more for a good sized specimen!!!
What a waste, that colony would've made the prices of these orchids drop significantly in a very short order of time had some of them made it into the trade via the plants themselves or by seeds. Relocating them to another nearby location can be done fairly easily too. They would've eventually been taken off the endangered species list, because then they'd not only be prevalent in nature, but they'd be plentiful in the trade as well.

I admit it. I don’t want to, but I admit it. I get angry. Some days I get so angry I want to scream. My son has ADD and he does not seem to make the best choices and he has trouble controlling his impulses. This usually gets him in trouble and leads to me getting angry. Most moms do not like to admit they get angry. I am one of them. Admitting I get so angry I need to walk away feels like I am admitting I am a bad mom. But there are times every mom feels overwhelmed and out of control. What can you do to make sure you do not get to that stage? Here are some helpful hints to help you regain yourself and manage anger.
Walk away. This sounds simple enough yet when we are embroiled in a battle of wills with our child we do not want to seem weak. Walking away may be what you need for calming down and thinking about the situation.
Do not argue with your kids. I can see moms rolling their eyes but it works. My mom was the master of not getting caught up in arguing. Her answer was final, her resolve was steel and she would say, end of discussion and we knew no amount of arguing was going to sway her so we didn’t argue. Getting rid of arguing is one of the best ways for handling anger I know of.
Recognize your triggers. I know what my triggers are. When I start to clench my teeth that is when I walk away because I know what comes after that and it is usually not a pretty sight. Everyone is much better off when I recognize my limits and take time to calm down.
Take time for yourself. Try to schedule a few minutes a day for meditation, exercise, communing with God or nature, listening to music, reading a good book or an extra long shower. Taking time for yourself endures that your batteries are recharged. Recharged batteries lead to better communication, more patience and the ability to handle anger better.
Have a support system in place. I have a great support system. My mom raised my brother who is an awful lot like my son. It is wonderful that I can vent to someone who has lived it and knows what I am going through. A support system helps me manage my anger and vent when I have had enough or when I need a break to recharge.
Ask for help. This one seems to be a tough one for moms. We do not want to admit we are not super moms and therefore need help. It is amazing though what help does. I am going back to school full time as well as being a stay at home mom. I started asking for help and telling the family that we all need to help out because I could not do it alone. Families are for helping one another and they get it now. Instead of getting angry because my husband does not put away his laundry or getting angry and putting it away myself, I simply ask him to put it away and he does. Asking for help leads to feeling more appreciated and less stressed and overwhelmed which makes a happier family.
Laugh. This is a big one. It is amazing how the power of laughter melts the stress away. I usually like to watch Gabriel Iglesias, aka the Fluffy Guy. One hour of nonstop laughing puts me in a much better frame of mind. | <urn:uuid:34cde437-9b61-4419-b97f-a5182cf8a7f0> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://momslivingthrifty.com/2011/07/managing-anger-for-moms/ | 2015-11-29T17:39:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398459214.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205419-00295-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979496 | 688 |
The minute I discovered heather growing in Scotland, I fell in love with the little plant. Ok, anything having to do with Scotland I fall in love with, but that’s beside the point of this post. I have a few stalks of it in a frame in my office from when I plucked it in Scotland a few years ago, and we have three bushes of it planted by our mail box so I can always watch it grow.
The other day I was researching how to make heather rope for my WIP and stumbled across this beautiful little story of the stalwart heather:
When God first created the world, He cast His eye upon the barren hills of Scotland and decided to cover it with a beautiful flower. He first turned to the mighty oak and asked if he would grow upon the bare hills, but the oak said the ground was far too rocky for his roots to grow and stretch. God then turned to the fair honeysuckle with her bright petals and sweet fragrance and asked if she would like to spread her tantalizing smell across the slopes, but the honeysuckle replied that she needs a wall or fence to grow up and a hill would be quite impossible. At last, God asked the most beautiful and delicate flower of all, the rose, if she would grace the hills with her splendor. The rose explained that the harsh wind and cold would destroy her and so she could not grow upon the hills. Disappointed, God turned away from the oak, honeysuckle, and rose and came across a low-lying green shrub with tiny purple and white flowers. A heather. God asked the small plant if she would like to grow upon the hills when all others had turned Him down. The heather considered the rain, cold, and rocky soil and was unsure she could do the job, but if God wanted her to then she would like to try. Pleased beyond words at the heather’s willingness, God granted her the strength of the oak, the fragrance of the honeysuckle, and the sweetness of the rose.
– the bark of the heather is the strongest of any tree and shrub in the whole world
– it’s fragrance is used in soaps and perfumes
– it’s a favorite of bees
– can be used to construct walls, roofs, mattresses, ropes, pot scrubbers, and baskets
– provides warmth if stuffed in clothes
– fuel for fires
-can make ale, whisky, tea, and honey
– plant badges for the clans | <urn:uuid:19cf9705-3041-4d65-9a4e-9b0654e37c00> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.jnellciesielski.com/?p=970 | 2018-11-21T19:48:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.969602 | 524 |

Jia LanpoArticle Free Pass
(born Nov. 25, 1908, Hebei province, China—died July 8, 2001, Beijing, China), Chinese archaeologist who , was internationally known for his work as director of the Peking man excavation at the Zhoukoudian cave complex near Beijing. In 1929, while still a graduate student, Jia was named interim overseer of the excavation; he became director in 1935. At the site, Jia helped unearth the first Chinese hominid fossils ever discovered; the Peking man fossils, which were about 900,000 to 130,000 years old and belonged to the Middle Pleistocene Era, included 14 skullcaps, several mandibles, facial and limb bones, and the teeth of about 40 individuals. Though many of the fossils were lost during World War II, Jia had made casts of all of them and had taken some 2,000 photographs of the excavation site. He later directed excavations at other Pleistocene sites in China. A prolific writer, Jia published more than 180 scientific articles as well as two highly regarded books, Chinese Homo Erectus (1950) and Early Man in China (1980).

Lieutenant Yuan Bao-Kang
In October 1937 Yuan Bao-Kang served in a provisional group consisting of the remnants of 3rd, 4th and 5th PG.
On 12 October the Air Raid Warning Net phoned in a report of two floatplanes flying from Shanghai, apparently on a reconnaissance mission. Colonel Kao Chi-Hang's flight met the two Type 95 floatplanes from the seaplane carrier Kamoi over Chiang-yin. The Chinese Hawk IIIs dived into the attack. Lieutenant Yuan Bao-Kang in No. 2404 got a little too aggressive and collided with one of the floatplanes. The Type 95 crashed in flames but Yuan managed to force land in Chang Chow minus his lower left wing and part of his right upper wing. Yuan suffered only a black eye on landing. The other Type 95 was badly shot up and tried to land on the Yangtse. The Hawk IIIs strafed it until it sank. Both sets of crews, including Lieutenant Commander Nambu, the Squadron Leader, were killed.
Yuan Bao-Kang ended the war with 1 biplane victory this one being claimed while flying Curtiss Hawk IIIs.

Menstruation is the part of every woman’s life. It involves the vaginal bleeding that happens every month. This menstruation cycle takes place only in case when pregnancy does not occur and the lining of uterus sheds in the form of blood as well as tissue particles through vagina. These are the top 10 Things Each Woman Faces Every Month during Her Periods
It takes one month for the lining of uterus (endometrium) to build up again in the form of tissue full of blood which is required for the implantation and growth of fertilized egg to be developed into baby. But, this uterus lining sheds off from the uterus when no pregnancy occurs during that one month. This is known as menstrual cycle.
The menstruation cycle or periods starts at the age between 11-14 years and stops at the age after 50 years (known as menopause). Generally, menstruation (or vaginal bleeding) occurs for 3-6 days and the number of days of cycle varies from woman to woman according to the thickness of uterus lining. 10 Things Each Woman Faces Every Month during Her Periods
Besides the bleeding for atleast 3-6 days every month, women also face many other problems during menstrual cycle or periods. Generally, these 10 Things Each Woman Faces Every Month during Her Periods are different according to the body composition of every woman but broadly these following given problems are same.
- MOOD SWINGS
Mood swings or unaccountable change of mood is the most common problem during periods. These include irritation from surrounding environment, instant anger, depressive state, sadness leading to crying, oversensitivity to every reaction from others and nervousness.
They are the outcome of the estrogen fluctuations during menstruation. 10 Things Each Woman Faces Every Month during Her Periods
Prevention strategy: Mood swings could be prevented during periods by following:
- Exercise can be very helpful for improving mood.
- Small and frequent meals can contribute to prevent mood swings.
- Avoid caffeine as much as possible as it can increase anxiety, nervousness and insomnia.
- Try stress management exercises. Select permanent stress management exercises every time you face mood swings involving extreme sadness and crying.
- MENSTRUAL PAIN
Menstrual pain (or dysmenorrhea) is the major problem faced by maximum number of females during menstruation cycle. The body parts affected due to pain during menstruation includes legs, lower tummy (belly) back and inner thighs. Menstrual pain occurs because of muscle contraction in the uterus.
Prevention strategy: The menstrual pain can be minimized during periods by following strategies:
- Hot water bottle: Hot water bottle can provide extreme relief for the pain.
- Caffeine containing food products should be avoided.
- Rest as much as possible.
- Pain reliever medications are also suggested in some cases when the pain becomes unbearable. These medications should only be consumed after consultation and prescription by doctor.
- IRREGULAR APPETITE
Some of the women also experience loss of appetite or extremely high appetite during their menstrual cycle. It has been observed that the fluctuations in progesterone and estrogen in brain influence the capability of females to under eat as well as over consume food.
Prevention strategy: The irregular appetite during menstrual cycle can be controlled by managing food intake. The food to be consumed for whole day should be properly noted and consumed accordingly instead of craving for food. This will help manage irregularity in food intake as well as solve weight loss or weight gain problems.
- HEADACHE, NAUSEA & VOMITING
These three problems in menstrual cycle are associated with each other. Headache is most commonly observed problem in women during their periods. Headache is associated with menstrual pain, heavy bleeding or low bleeding and lesser food intake too. These problems give rise to extreme headache. When headache persists then it gives rise to vomiting and nausea.
The instant decrease in estrogen and progesterone just before periods triggers headache which is known as menstrual migraine. 10 Things Each Woman Faces Every Month during Her Periods
Prevention strategy: This condition can only be prevented by prescription pain-killer medicines. Such medicines can also provide relief from menstrual pain. These pain-killers medicines help you get sound sleep to avoid the feeling of nausea and vomiting.
- DISTURBED STOMACH FROM LOOSE MOTION
This problem is a part of premenstrual syndrome in major female population. Some females experience loose motions 1-2 days before their periods every month.
During monthly cycle, cells of the uterus lining produce prostaglandins to help form the lining. The excess of prostaglandins cause loose motion by stimulating the large intestines and bowels to contract and expel their contents.
Prevention strategy: There is no such prevention strategy for this. As the periods takes place, the lining of the uterus starts shedding expelling the cells as well as prostaglandins, relieving the body from loose motions as well.
If excessive loose motions take place, then, doctor can be consulted for this who will prescribe medicine for this problem.
Heavy bleeding or menorrhagia during menstrual period is also faced by some females. Bleeding during periods is considered as heavy if it is affecting normal life and causing severe problems such as extreme weakness and drop in hemoglobin. If you face following problems, then, it is regarded as menorrhagia:
- Regularly experience flooding, when blood leaks on to your clothes or bedclothes.
- Clots are passed during bleeding.
- Feel the requirement of double sanitary protection.
- Feel restrictions in normal lifestyle due to heavy bleeding.
- BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS
It is normal in menstrual cycle that the blood pressure fluctuations take place. Females generally face high blood pressure as premenstrual syndrome and face sudden drop in blood pressure during the menstruation. This pattern of fluctuating blood pressure is due to the fluctuations in hormonal profile.

General Motors will invest $174 million in Kansas plant
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — General Motors will invest $174 million in its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kansas, to pay for new equipment and technology to produce the 2016 Malibu, company officials announced Monday.
Production of the midsize sedan, which was unveiled in early April in New York, is scheduled to begin at the plant later this year.
The investment will not mean any new jobs at the plant, which currently employs 3,230 hourly and 270 salaried workers building Malibu and Buick LaCrosse models.
The Fairfax plant investment is part of a $5.4 billion investment in U.S. plants over three years that GM announced last week to build next generation vehicles.
CEO Mary Barra and GM North America and Global Chevrolet President Alan Batey were at the plant Monday to announce the investment and celebrate as the company noted production of 500 million vehicles in its history, about 12 million of them at the Fairfax plant.
"During 2015, we expect to sell more than 1,000 new vehicles per hour, 24 hours per day," Barra said in a news release. "This adds up to nearly 10 million vehicles, the most in our history."
The company surprised Iraqi war veteran Trent Brining with a symbolic key to a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, which will be built at the plant later this year. Brining, of Overland Park, Kansas, was injured by a rocket-propelled grenade in 2005 in Baghdad. The retired Army corporal has undergone 23 surgeries and earned a Purple Heart. Brining is one of five customers who will be notified within the next two days that they are receiving a new General Motors vehicle. | <urn:uuid:4eb8dceb-90b2-4a2e-b3da-245de235391f> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.columbusceo.com/story/business/2015/05/04/general-motors-will-invest-174/22953698007/ | 2022-06-29T09:06:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103626162.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20220629084939-20220629114939-00583.warc.gz | en | 0.966308 | 355 |
Allegations of Selling Unsafe Vehicles at Southern Honda Powersports
Southern Honda Powersports in Chattanooga, TN, is being investigated by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, The U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Tennessee Attorney General's Office for allegedly selling unsafe motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes. Southern Honda Powersports is the largest Honda motorcycle and ATV dealership in the United States. As Tennessee neighbors Kentucky, it is possible that some of the allegedly unsafe motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes were sold to Kentucky residents.
These accusations were made by a former marketing consultant for Southern Honda Powersports, Ernest "Pug" Vickers III. He reportedly made claims to federal agents in 2007 that this dealership failed to follow industry procedures in assembling the motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes. Additionally, Southern Honda Powersports allegedly sold unsafe motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes under federally mandated safety recalls without making the required repairs. Finally, the Honda dealership is accused of falsifying documents including vehicle repair and sales records. Many of Vickers claims are backed up by affidavits from former employees of Southern Honda Powersports. Vickers alleges that as many as 25,000 motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes were involved. The Honda dealership is denying the allegations.
One concern is that improperly assembled dirt bikes, ATV's and motorcycles are more prone to accidents and injuries. Injuries from defectively assembled motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes may have (and still could) result in serious injury or death. If you feel that a Kentucky accident resulting in injury or death involved a Honda motorcycle, ATV or dirt bike purchased through Southern Honda Powersports, you may want to talk to a Kentucky attorney. These investigations are in the early stages, but an attorney can assist you by answering your questions. Brett H. Oppenheimer is a Kentucky attorney who will consult with you and help to determine if you have a valid claim. You can contact Brett here or by phone at: (502) 242-8877. | <urn:uuid:cc135d9c-f002-41cb-88c4-08052bdacb99> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.bluegrassinjury.com/practice-areas/personal-injury/southern-honda-powersports/ | 2017-10-20T19:37:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824325.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020192317-20171020212317-00588.warc.gz | en | 0.961797 | 405 |

Hi, I'm just getting started in Mainstage, and wish to use it as an effects pedalboard add in. I have a small pedal board, and will insert the signal loop in via a BOSS LS-2. Got a bunch of questions being a newbie... http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=150 Using a MacBook Pro 2.66 GHZ core 2 duo, and 8 MB Ram & mainstage 2.13. I have 2 different Audio input interfaces to the Mac - Presonus Firebox, and an Apogee Jam (will be experimenting what's the best). Is the headphone out good for this purpose on my mac? Any known gotchas I should look out for? Also, I'm finding I really don't know how to use Mainstage for setting it up - can someone lead me to a good tutorial? I don't want to add any amp simulation, just effects, and perhaps a looper for playback/play along. Also, does anyone know why Mainstage seems to be hogging up CPU? Should I be in 64 bit mode? Logic Pro runs so much smoother/optimal.

'Offseason' is an exploration of manipulated landscapes and purpose-built spaces that are inherently seasonal in their function, but photographed at a time of year when they are essentially dormant.
Much of my work explores how physical spaces yield evidence of the intentions and actions of the people who move through them, and in particular how those spaces breathe and take on their own 'personality' when no one is around, and often produce scenes of accidental and unexpected beauty. In 'Offseason' I want to push that idea further by seeking out spaces that, while still capable of serving their intended purpose, have built in to their existence a period of hibernation, often of considerable length.
The project is not about death or decay, but an exploration of the idea of seasonality, both natural and man-made. Many of these landscapes look familiar, except that the qualities that make up the natural seasons — light, temperature, weather patterns, plant life — are somehow off, lending the images an odd and otherworldly tone. Layered on top of that are the temporary manipulations that have been made to these places by humans for the period of their hibernation. Ultimately I want the viewer to be able to draw something of value and beauty from environments stripped of their intended purpose. | <urn:uuid:4782564c-8797-41de-b0e3-bfd9cf8b3864> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.fotovisura.com/user/kshimoda/view/offseason | 2014-07-22T23:26:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997869720.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025749-00035-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965886 | 256 |
My knee jerk reaction to yesterday's big up day was to want to get bearish. Big up days on Federal Reserve news and Apple earnings have a tendency to mean revert. However, when I looked at the data there was little supporting evidence for much more than a small move lower.
The market has been choppy for weeks so one big up day does not make it overbought. As I have recently outlined sentiment is cautious. One day is not likely to change sentiment all that much. The bears have some positives going for them. Seasonality is neutral for the next few months after being very favorable for half a year. We still haven't seen a swing to extreme pessimism after 6 months of optimism.
Yesterday's trading does not change my outlook all that much. I still don't see any great advantages, long or short. I believe its better to wait for the bulls or bears to push this too far in either direction. | <urn:uuid:f3905741-ab28-4e56-a53b-ea75e337d68e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.capitalobserver.com/2012/04/mixed-feelings.html | 2020-09-28T17:48:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401604940.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928171446-20200928201446-00527.warc.gz | en | 0.979962 | 190 |
Ford Mustang attained an appalling two stars in the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). The European version of the Mustang missed out on some safety equipment which is available in American spec and this was the major cause for the disappointing results for the American muscle car.
The Mustang is truly a global product from Ford and hence it needs to adhere to different crash tests around the world. The Euro NCAP results were contradictory to the crash tests carried out by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in America, where the Mustang was awarded full five stars. It also scored ‘acceptable’ rating in tests conducted by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The American muscle car scored poorly in both adult and child safety category with 72 and 32 per cent respectively. According to NCAP, the driver and passenger airbags were insufficiently inflated to restrain the occupants, seatbelt pre-tensioners and load-limiters didn’t work effectively, and the curtain airbag failed to provide enough cushioning in the frontal offset, full-width frontal and side-impact tests. The omission of safety equipment like Pre-Collision Assist, Forward Collision Warning system, lane assist and rear seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters contributed further as it scored only 16 per cent in safety assist category.
The facelifted Mustang, which was showcased a few days back, will start making its way in Europe late this year. Ford promises that it will get several safety features as standard. The new Mustang can hopefully fare better when it undergoes the Euro NCAP next time. | <urn:uuid:caa4a440-ac02-4472-9419-bd93b6357b33> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://afcauto.com/ford-mustang-scores-two-stars-ncap-crash-test/ | 2019-08-24T17:02:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.962005 | 325 |
Harvard Law Faculty not too long ago made an enormous change to its admissions policy with the hopes of broadening its pool of applicants. Law schools throughout the nation have been demanding that the Law School Admission Council, which administers the LSAT, increase the variety of take a look at instances and make the check pc-based, he added, however nothing has come of these efforts. Nonetheless, Josh Woods LAW ’19, who majored in chemistry in school, said students with backgrounds in STEM excel on the LSAT.
McEntee said he saw the ABA’s effort as a response to law schools’ complaints of the Law College Admission Council’s resistance to change. While this appears excellent for those who would possibly battle to pay for such an costly exam, there are just a few ways in which Harvard is making an attempt to profit from the change.
After all, so long as most law faculties require the LSAT, students applying to a wide range of applications would still must take the take a look at. Arizona James E. Rogers Faculty of Law was the primary accredited law school in the country to simply accept the GRE as an LSAT different, last 12 months.
The change is also meant to encourage college students who have not pursued a conventional pre-law course of research to use as a result of the GRE is extra acquainted and accessible to a wide variety of scholars. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that being accepted to Harvard Law College will get any easier.
Soban declined to say whether or not she thinks other faculties will fall in keeping with Harvard Law. Right this moment, ninety two percent of U.S. business colleges accept either take a look at, and candidates adapt their admissions strategies to up their possibilities of success. And the New York Occasions stories that since then, around 150 law school deans have expressed assist for making the change as properly. | <urn:uuid:1c7cb81d-08f8-43ec-8241-421764a4a1c9> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://highpointfamilylaw.com/harvard-law-school-accepting-the-gre-might-lead-to-sweeping-modifications.html | 2023-11-29T01:45:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100047.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129010302-20231129040302-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.971579 | 389 |

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross makes a surprise (virtual) appearance at Cubs' alternate site
It was a few minutes before the start of a simulated game at the Chicago Cubs’ alternate site a few weeks ago when a surprise face popped up on the videoboard at Four Winds Field.
Chicago Cubs skipper David Ross had been brought into the game through Skype and to make sure all the players knew he was watching, his face was broadcast onto the board for everyone there to surprisingly see.
“I think everybody kind of took a deep breath and was like, ‘Whoa, that’s David Ross — it looks like he’s in the major league clubhouse having lunch,” said Matt Dorey Chicago’s senior director of player development. “It was great.”
The Chicago Cubs are doing whatever they can to keep their young talent ready while they work out at the team’s alternate site in South Bend, Indiana. But it hasn’t been easy with Chicago’s roster always dealing with transactions.
Whenever the Cubs do have to make a move, they can call up a player from the alternate site, which is where the remaining players on Chicago’s 60-player pool who are not on the active roster, have been training.
Dorey compared the setting to spring training with players arriving early for workouts and strength and conditioning training. They typically end the day with a simulated game in the empty park, which is home to the South Bend Cubs, the organization’s Class-A affiliate.
“The length of that just depends on how much pitching we have for that day,” Dorey said.
Pitching hasn’t been the only problem for the roster which is always evolving. Dorey said the team has been short on position players, as well.
To help fill the gaps, the staff has gotten creative.
Dorey said they’ve sometimes played with a full outfield but no infielders. Other times they’ve had to fill the outfield with coaches. Myrtle Beach manager Steven Lerud and Iowa assistant hitting coach Will Remillard, both former catchers, have caught during games. Cubs minor league hitting coordinator Chris Valaika and assistant director of baseball development Jeremy Farrell have also played. They’ve even enlisted the help of a clubhouse employee to play the outfield.
“You just have to be really creative of trying to simulate game-like environments as much as possible,” Dorey said.
Dorey said they’ll do that by scripting situations on the scoreboard. They've also done tributes on it and even pump in crowd noise since fans and media members can’t attend the workouts. It's all done to add the feel of a regular season game.
While the simulated games don’t count, they do matter since the Cubs’ front office is getting daily updates on how things are going and sometimes tune in. To emphasize that point, they brought Ross in on a game.

- Norwalk native Matt Dermody living the dream pitching for Cubs
- Inside the last game that featured an MLB team in Iowa
“We just wanted to create some more atmosphere, pressure,” Dorey said. “And just making sure that everybody knows that all these games are being watched. It just gave them all a visual that that is really happening.”
The experience at the alternate site hasn't been ideal, with the Minor League Baseball season being canceled. But Dorey said players and coaches have made the most of the unique experience.
"I think the theme that will stick with me forever in a positive way is how much deeper we really got to understand one another and where we've come from and how the entire pandemic in baseball and away from baseball is affecting everybody," Dorey said. "It made us grow closer and have a better appreciation and perspective for how fortunate we are to work in baseball and help young players reach their goals."
Dorey knows things could get more challenging with more roster moves likely coming. He said some more unique situations could play out at the site.
"Stay tuned," he joked.
Here's what Dorey had to say about some of Chicago's young players:
Who have been the biggest surprises? Chris Morel and Brennen Davis, both being younger guys, stepping into this environment, have really stepped up to the challenge. I think both of them have made a lot of strides around these position players and really fit right in, both from a performance standpoint and just from a maturity standpoint. Those two guys have really turned a lot heads here. We all knew they were really good but they're facing Triple-A type pitching or major league depth pitching every single day. That's a huge step for them developmentally."
Who has taken advantage of the time? "We've had a lot of pitchers that have really thrown the ball well. I think Justin Steele's been doing really good, exciting things. Tyson Miller, who I know you guys had in Triple-A for a little bit last year and obviously got his major league debut. (Adbert) Alzolay has been really sharp. Some of the other guys that I think are really close are Michael Rucker and P.J. Higgins has been great. We all know of his defensive versatility but he's been swinging the bat really well."

Elite colleges have largely abandoned military history, but there are signs of life at some major universities.

Reaching its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, poliomyelitis (polio), also known as infantile paralysis, infected and crippled hundreds of children across North Carolina. The disease terrorized the general public, and, in response, North Carolinians successfully mobilized their money and time to assist polio victims statewide. North Carolina’s mandate on polio vaccines, coupled with its citizens’ philanthropic efforts, played a significant role in eradicating the disease from the state’s population.
Signed into law on May 12, 1933, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) was a New Deal government-spending program established to give direct cash assistance to the impoverished. Different from work relief agencies such as the National Recovery Administration and the Public Works Administration, which created jobs for the unemployed, FERA offered only short-term subsistence support. FERA’s poor design coupled with its low per capita grants failed to assuage the effects of the Great Depression in North Carolina. | <urn:uuid:c3dfe83f-7afa-4cd8-acde-f3d4ba22731a> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://northcarolinahistory.org/author/david-j-koon/ | 2017-07-25T06:46:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425082.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725062346-20170725082346-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.945726 | 235 |

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products introduces the Aristo™ Feed 3004 with U82 Plus remote pendant. This easy-to-use arc welder, designed for MIG, TIG or Stick welding, offers ESAB’s SuperPulse™ technology for exceptional heat control and provides the ability to select up to 230 synergic lines, allowing ”one-knob” set up for easy welding with solid wire, cored wire, metal-cored wire and various gas mixes. It also offers memory for 255 parameter sets. The user simply selects the process, such as MIG or MIG Pulse, wire diameter, wire type and shielding gas, and the machine sets all other parameters. This allows even inexperienced welders to produce quality welds with ease.
The Aristo Feed 3004 also offers creep start, gas pre-flow and hot start functions to provide a soft and more direct start with less spatter. Crater filling, adjustable burn-back time and post-gas functions provide a smooth finish, extend the lifetime of the contact tip and eliminate cracking at the end of the weld run. Pre-programmed synergic lines ensure optimum settings with a wide choice of materials, wire dimensions and gas combinations.
Other features include pulse and synergic pulse welding capabilities, 2/4 stroke, quick connectors for short set-up times, and ESAB’s TrueArcVoltage™ system that measures the correct arc voltage value independent of the length of the interconnection cable or welding torch.
A sturdy galvanized metal casing makes this welder ideal for use in tough environments. Electronically controlled feeding ensures an accurate and stable arc, while the four-roll feeder mechanism with grooves in both the feed and pressure rolls provide a stable feed with low wear on the wire. All adjustments are made on the man-machine communication panels of the feeder, which provides a good overview of the settings for easy use. The feeders feature rolls of 30 mm diameter for wires up to 0.062 in. (1.6 mm) diameter.
To maximize the functionality of the Aristo Feed 3004 with U82 Plus panel, ESAB offers three new power sources for its new line of multi-purpose arc welders. The three power sources feature well-proven chopper technology for high reliability and outstanding welding performance. Designed for MIG/MAG and Stick welding and carbon arc gouging with CO2 and mixed gas, these power sources feature digital (CANbus) communications and control system that use fewer cables to increase operational reliability. Other features include stepless inductance control and idle mode fan and pump.
Each unit is constructed with a strong metal casing to withstand harsh environments. The large wheels, sturdy lifting eyelets and an undercarriage designed for transport by forklift makes the unit easy to move. An optional re-useable dust filter handles tough and dirty environments and prevents grinding dust and metal particles from entering the chassis. The Mig 4002c provides 400A @ 60% duty cycle; the Mig 5002 c provides 500A @ 60% duty cycle, and the Mig 6502c provides 650A @ 60% duty cycle.
The Aristo Feed 3004 is part of ESAB’s new line of arc welding equipment. Each model can be purchased as a ready-to-weld package or customers may “mix and match” wire feeders, control panels and power supplies to customize the equipment for their applications. If the user wants to increase the functionality of the equipment in the future, this can be easily accomplished by simply upgrading the control panel or power source. The Aristo Feed 3004 comes with a three-year warranty.

Time for Action: Support Expires for Windows 2000 in Industrial Automation
12 May 2010
All things come to an end. And so it is with Microsoft® Extended Support and Security Updates for Windows 2000, which will cease this year in July 2010.
Any manufacturer with industrial applications based on Windows 2000 may wisely be considering a newer operating system right now, in order to remain in production with the needed security support.
Migrating to a new operating system can be time-consuming, disruptive, and expensive.
Are there any better alternatives? This article presents one proven solution.
Microsoft Windows operating systems are widely used for networked industrial automation equipment.
Unfortunately, these industrial Windows applications, like their counterparts in office networks, are also vulnerable to known and new Windows security loopholes that keep being discovered and can be exploited.
Microsoft’s Lifecycle Policy for business and developer products provides 5 years of Mainstream Support and 5 years of Extended Support, during which time necessary Security Updates are available for a total of 10 years. The lifetime of industrial machinery and other capital equipment, however, is often 20 or more years of useful operation. The much shorter lifecycle of software suggests that it will usually not survive as long as the equipment it serves.
Mainstream Support for Windows 2000 ended in June 2005. In July 2010 the Extended Support for Windows 2000 will also expire.
Planned obsolescence is a key element of software product management and marketing.
There are several historical examples. While Windows 2000 has enjoyed a ten year run, other earlier operating systems did not. Support for Windows 95 expired in December 2001. Support for Windows NT 4.0 expired after eight years in June 2004. And support for Windows 98 expired in July 2006. Common sense, good business judgment and IT security policies dictate planning ahead for the demise of current software support.
What Should be Done?
Proceeding with “business as usual” while keeping both eyes firmly shut is not a recommended course of action. Worms, viruses, Trojans, and hacker exploits are problems not to be ignored.
The widespread popularity of Microsoft operating systems has made them an all too appealing target for malware creators. In 2008, Microsoft issued thirty-six Security Updates relevant for Windows 2000, including nineteen classified as “Critical,” the highest classification. Another sixteen Security Updates were classified as “Important.”
Then in 2009, Microsoft released an even larger number Security Updates, forty-eight for the nine year old system, thirty-one of them “Critical” and again sixteen “Important”! In fact, in every month of 2009, at least one additional breed of malware had to be dealt with by a new version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool distributed with the other monthly system updates.
The notorious Conficker worm proved to be a particularly troublesome issue, as well as the dangerous and versatile Trojans Waledac and the Bredolab downloader, ushering in a plethora of evil malware and spyware from servers hosted mostly in Russia and China. The expiration of support for Windows 2000 means the end of available and automated security updates against these kinds of threats.
An obvious solution, of course, is the upgrade to a newer operating system with current support, now and for the near future.
Innominate mGuard® security appliances protect Windows systems used in Industrial Automation. Available in various forms, they are cost-effective, transparent in operation, and simple to install.
But upgrades are costly. New licenses need to be purchased and new software installed. And as new versions of Windows tend to be ever more hungry for resources, they often require the acquisition of new hardware and infrastructure as well.
That is when the dreaded “unanticipated consequences” begin to occur, involving considerable extra work and expense. Certified systems and automated manufacturing processes typically require reiteration of an expensive approval process when altering any of their components.
As a result of production complications greater than those in the office environment, significant upgrade expenses can quickly accumulate. And who wants the responsibility of triggering that cost avalanche when it is very difficult to calculate the potential security risks and the risks of unforeseen glitches that can affect production? Common sense and demonstrated logic often dictate “if it’s not broke, let’s not ‘fix’ it.”
Protection by Retrofitting Distributed Security Appliances
What virtually all software security risks share in common is that they are based on the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of network protocols and services. Hacker exploits and malware use these weaknesses over an IP-based network to gain access, control, and opportunities for damage and proliferation.
If security updates against newly discovered vulnerabilities are no longer available, there is an increased risk to the unsupported system, which must continue to communicate with other network nodes, and often with portions of the outside world (engineering and programming consultants, remote maintenance services, etc.)
The days of a truly isolated production network are rapidly disappearing. But while vital system interconnections are obviously impossible to eliminate, most other types of potential network communication can be blocked as a means to reduce the risk of infections.
It is the purpose of firewalls to control and selectively filter unrestricted Ethernet and IP-based communications on the network.
In addition to front office firewalls, there are industrial network security appliances that are needed to provide “defence-in depth” on the factory floor. This method of protection is better, faster, cost-effective and easily installed by technicians rather than network administrators.
Availability is in various industrial-rated designs; for DIN-rail mounting, for 19 inch rack mounting in cabinets, as PCI cards or as dongle-style patch cords. An example is the family of mGuard® products from Innominate Security Technologies, Phoenix Contact, and select others.
As a result of a patented “Stealth Mode,” these products are completely transparent, automatically assuming the MAC and IP address of the equipment to which they are connected, so that no additional addresses are required for the management of the network devices. No changes need to be made to the network configuration of the existing systems involved.
Yet the devices operate invisibly and transparently, monitoring and filtering traffic to the protected systems by providing a Stateful Packet Firewall according to rules configured via templates from a centrally located server. And thanks to their bi-directional “Wire Speed” capability, mGuard appliances will not add any perceptible bottlenecks to a 100 Mb/s Ethernet network.
If required, the security of networked equipment may be further enhanced by additional mGuard features. Configuration of specific user firewall rules can restrict the type and duration of access for authorised individuals, who may login and authenticate themselves from varying locations, PCs, and IP addresses.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) functions provide for secure authentication of remote stations, and the encryption of data traffic. The unique mGuard CIFS Integrity Monitoring functionality protects Windows file systems against unexpected modifications, of executable code by malware, for instance. Common Internet File System / Server Message Blocks (CIFS/SMB) are the protocols behind Windows file sharing.
Thus customers, in the automotive industry and others, have already used the mGuard system with excellent results in providing security for older production systems using Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT.
Never Touch a Running System: Security for Non-patchable Equipment
There is always a substantial concern that a reckless, blanket implementation of software patches and security updates will inadvertently affect the operation, stability and quality of production, without extensive (and expensive) certification tests prior to implementation. Thus “never touch a running system” is the dominant principle in production.
The costs of certification and risks of warranty claims against machinery and equipment suppliers are such that many embedded PC systems are operated without software patches and security updates. So they are treated as non-patchable, long before the end of their Extended Support. All of these non-patchable systems can also be provided with enhanced security by the same method of retrofitting Stealth Mode security appliances to them, as described in the previous paragraphs.
The clock is ticking. In a few months, untold numbers of Windows 2000 systems will no longer have access to Extended Support and Security Updates, when these end in July 2010. Nor may there be adequate time for analysis and evaluation of alternatives, decision making, planning, preparation and implementation of a new operating system. The right time to act is now. There are proven “defence-in-depth” security products available to provide protection for industrial networks.
For more information about current threats to networked industrial equipment, a comprehensive 18-page White Paper “Hacking the Industrial Network,” including footnotes, clickable Internet research links and detailed references is available for download at www.innominate.com.
The mGuard® industrial network security appliances have been used to protect automotive production machinery and equipment using older Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT operating systems.

I want to first apologize to anyone that regularly reads my blog and some of the babble I throw on lessthandot.com while I learn SQL Server and grow as a DBA. My family recently moved into our new house and time has been very limited. Things are going well and the hectic schedule I call the SQL Pump is slowly coming back into its normal stride.
Why don’t you know this?
This is an extension of “Finding SQL Server Support – Become an expert yourself” much more personal discussion than other topics that I typically write about. In my efforts to be useful to the SQL Community, I have often met SQL DBAs and Developers who are just hanging around the sidelines, completely unaware of how much SQL Server help and support are out there. Surprisingly, although they sort of know that they can find answers online, they really don’t know the lengths to which respected people in the SQL community will go to help them.
Some have not even heard of community and support tools like LessThanDot.com, the MSDN forums, or even the SQL community on Twitter. Those who do know about them are hesitant to actively engage the community or the community’s leaders. Reasons include shyness, fear, a bad experience with someone egotistical dude in a forum, or simply a reluctance to waste someone else’s time. Guess what though, simply put, there’s really nothing to fear.
Get over the fear
Approaching people can be daunting. Engagaging experts can be downright intimidating. It takes some courage to take that first step, to join a community where everyone seems to know more than you do, or to directly ask someone, whose name you saw in the front cover of a SQL Server book, a question.
Before, I was in the same boat. I thought brilliant minds like Brent Ozar (blog | Twitter), Buck Woody (blog | Twitter), Paul Randal (blog | Twitter), Jonathon Kehayias (blog | Twitter) or Denis Gobo (blog | Twitter) would laugh me out of my cube if I asked them a SQL Server question. Are you kidding me? Do I dare ask about a simple issue and risk them thinking that I’m not smart enough to figure it out? I realized a few things when I got over the fear and took the first step. First, there’s no such thing as a simple problem and if there was, there really are worse things than being told it’s simple or easy. Second, almost everybody I know will attempt to help you and no, you’re not wasting their time. The same people I was scared to approach in the past are now the same people I call friends and are people I know I can rely on when I need a hand. The SQL Community is full of people that look across the room at eye level with each other . Don’t worry, nobody will belittle you and most are willing to help and welcome you to the community.
Walk up and talk to us, Please!
Go ahead and take that first step. Join the SQL community now, do not hesitate to approach anyone, and ask questions. I personally welcome opportunities to make new friends and will be willing to jump in with you on troubleshooting sessions.
My Recommendations then
So where is the SQL Community? How do I find it and jump in? Truly, it is all around us. If you look around your area you will probably find SQL Server User Groups formed and meeting regularly. That is the first step. Get face to face with other SQL people. Wait, did we just make a community together?
Other places I recommend and find myself monitoring through the day are listed below. Special mention should be noted for the still very young Twitter hash tag, #sqlhelp. If you throw a tweet up on Twitter with the tag #sqlhelp, you will find several replies coming back your way quickly for assistance with SQL Server. Check out a great example of this in action by David Taylor (blog | Twitter), “Twitter #sqlhelp WORKS!”
Check the MSDN forums on SQL Server. It is frequented by MVPs, Microsoft team players and many other experts in SQL Server. Answers very seldom go unanswered. Follow along on LessThanDot and some of the SQL experts we’ve had the pleasure of being around and writing for us. SQL Server Central is a huge repository of SQL Server information. Sign up for Database Weekly. The list that goes out weekly of the authors around us is an excellent way to start the week off learning new and different ways of working on SQL Server. While going through all of these and other locations that you will find regarding SQL Server, take note in the handles and names of the people helping out. Go to Twitter and see if you can find them. Start following them! The information being poured into this tool is unbelievable at times. If you find yourself following along in a troubleshooting session on Twitter, don’t be afraid to jump in or start your own. SQL Community has open arms and doesn’t frown upon anyone.
Another resource that is a great starting point was put together on the PASS (Professional Association of SQL Server) web site listed as the PASS Blog Directory. Most of the names listed are on twitter and visit forums actively. | <urn:uuid:60d65ef3-e826-46cb-950e-97ebed9011e5> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://blogs.lessthandot.com/index.php/itprofessionals/ethicsit/hey-sql-dude-help-me/ | 2017-07-26T00:38:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425737.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170726002333-20170726022333-00334.warc.gz | en | 0.955932 | 1,107 |

Chris had just informed Kelli that he wouldn’t be able to move to Atlanta because he had spent his entire life in Detroit. While Kelli wanted to try it, she worried about Tana, her business partner and boyfriend.
Tana said that although she supported Kelli as a friend, she didn’t want to lose her as a business partner, because their matchmaking university relied on them both to work together. Tana admitted she was an emotional mess. She went on to say that she had been overcome with emotion since they prayed for this. But the Love Match Atlanta star was still unsure about the future of their business. She said they had come up with a strategy together, but weren’t sure how it would be executed if Kelli moved to Detroit.
Kelli said that this proposal required her to prioritize her personal life. Kelli said that despite plans with Tana, things changed. Love Match Atlanta airs every Sunday night at 9:30 PM ET on Bravo.

So I'm sitting here...in my new apartment...realizing its been a while since I've written on here and SO much has happened. We were finally able to move into the apartment on January 23rd and I've been slowly moving all my stuff in, little by little. It's been such an experience. A good one, but definitely an experience. Its interesting meshing your things with someone else. I am grateful for this wonderful time in mine and Clint's lives, and I know that I'll cherish this experience forever. I mean, we're finally doing it! We're finally getting our lives together started!
We've had so many great things happen for us in the last few weeks. To start off, all the help that we've received from family members in helping us get our little apartment set up. See, I had next to nothing in the way of furniture. And Clint had not too much more than I did! But somehow, we were able to come out of this with an L-shaped couch and chair (thanks James and Paulina!), a washer and dryer (Ben and Sara - you guys rock!), and a table and two chairs (courtesy of my lovely sister Hannah!). Next, the little things - my sister offering to help move the rest of my stuff in, my mom and sister watching Chase so that I am able to come up here every day and get a little more set up in the apartment. And lastly, a special thanks to my wonderful fiance Clint. How else would I be able to do this if it weren't for you?
But the best part about LIFE right now is going to happen in just 10 days...can you believe we're getting married that soon! I have never been more excited for anything in my ENTIRE life! Finally, we will be a married couple and be able to enjoy our lives combined.
--More pictures to follow of the apartment/set up process and hopefully the wedding too!!! :)--

We got an apartment!! I can't believe it, seriously! We got one!!! :)
It's in Atascadero, which sucks a little bit because of the drive to work. But whatever, because its ours!!! So Clint will move in now (or whenever the move in date is) and then as soon as we get married, Chase and I will move in...yeeeeeeahhhhh!!! This is amazing news and I've been on cloud 9 ALL DAY LONG!!!! Here's some pictures of the complex:
They all look Adobe style like this...this is two and three bedroom apartment style, they have a garage. Ours is one bedroom with no garage, but the outside looks similar.
So this is what the stairs look like. What a cute place...I'm so stoked right now, no joke!
And this is what the floor plan for our apartment looks like. The kitchen is ginormous!!! And the bedroom is spacious, which is AWESOME! Great thing: WASHER/DRYER HOOKUPS!!! Ahhhhhh!!! Can't wait for that!
So anyway, needless to say...our lives are going to be way different now. We have a place and the wedding will be happening very soon! YAY FOR US!!! :) | <urn:uuid:b4b62d5f-4707-459f-87cb-f040f184603b> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://theerdmanfamily.blogspot.com/2009/01/ | 2017-09-25T20:45:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818693363.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20170925201601-20170925221601-00599.warc.gz | en | 0.976752 | 675 |

The Eclipsing Myth of ‘Safe’ Aquaculture
Cooke’s tale is that high tides blamed on the eclipse caused the release of 5,000 fish. Their lies were shut down by the data: higher tides occurred every month this year and the current was not exceptionally strong. As more and more of the invasive fish are turning up, it has become clear that Cooke downplayed the numbers of released fish a huge amount. How can the public believe anything they say? How can the State or the Federal government believe anything they write in a permit application or say to an agency official? The simple answer is: they cannot.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is urging the public to attempt to clean up Cooke’s mess by catching as many of these invaders as they can. In the aftermath, it will be the native salmon who pay the long-term price. The number of released invasive salmon is unknown, but the results could be disastrous for our vulnerable Pacific salmon, the fishermen that rely on them, and the tribes who have fought to sustain the runs that have historical and cultural significance.
While this event is saddening, it is not surprising. These risky net pen operations have long been known, criticized and challenged. Fish farms threaten the economy, the environment, and salmon biodiversity. The impacts of finfish net pen farming to our critically important native salmon stocks are well known, including the spread of disease, genetic contamination, and (as we may soon learn), the potential reestablishment of perpetual invasive populations that compete with native stocks.
Escapement is widely considered the biggest danger of these operations and can lead to the devastation of native populations. This escapement event threatens our native salmon with predation and competition. The farmed fish, which are larger than typical Atlantic salmon, will prey on juvenile native salmon and compete for their habitat and food. True, there are no previously documented successful crossbreeding’s between Atlantic and Pacific salmon. But, the destruction of the genetic pool this could cause is enough of a threat that, as Washington scientists have said, “we don’t want to test the theory”.
Cooke Aquaculture has claimed that the released fish were not diseased and have downplayed the significance of this event. Would we expect anything else coming from a company with expansion on their mind? IFR has been saying it for years and we’ll say it again: net pen aquaculture is too risky. Keep it out of the Pacific!
This escapement event has renewed attention on Cooke’s expansion plans for a new, larger site in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The site would sit at the mouth of Puget Sound, a location wild salmon cannot avoid when coming inland or returning to sea. While arguing for this new site Cooke cited their “30-year track record of success”. Well, Cooke, time to reset the Accident Clock to ZERO.
These net pen operations cannot be trusted with the fate of our wild Pacific salmon. If a long-anticipated celestial event, or worse, normal conditions can lead to an equipment failure threatening ecological disaster, who knows what unexpected surprises lie ahead and what they might due to our fragile Pacific salmon runs. It’s a risk salmon fishermen and the people of the West Coast cannot afford to take. Keep it native, keep it wild, or keep it out of the ocean. | <urn:uuid:f1af629d-4e09-4a8e-86c1-c80b3539341d> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.ifrfish.org/the-eclipsing-myth-of-safe-aquaculture/ | 2017-11-20T07:29:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805923.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120071401-20171120091401-00219.warc.gz | en | 0.958288 | 702 |

Ten Hollywood stars fired off a letter to the CEO of McDonald’s asking the company to establish a 100 percent cage-free purchasing policy for their egg suppliers. As the largest egg buyer in the U.S., the message reminds McDonald’s it has the power and “moral responsibility” to change the inhumane way hens are treated.
The “I’m Hatin’ It” letter was sent to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner on December 19 by celebrities; Ryan Gosling, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Deschanel, Alicia Silverstone, Maria Menounos, Kristin Bauer, Ed Begley, Jr., Wendie Malick, Bryan Adams and Steve-O at the request of animal rights organization, Mercy For Animals.
It says, “On behalf of compassionate people everywhere, we implore you to help end the needless suffering of these animals by adopting strict and meaningful animal welfare policies worldwide, including the commitment to prohibit the purchase of eggs produced by hens who spend their miserable lives crammed into tiny wire cages.”
The appeal comes after a video shot in November, showed several locations of Sparboe Farms performing acts of “unconscionable cruelty” to hens.
The investigation prompted McDonald’s to quickly cut ties with the factory farm, but Mercy For Animals and the celebs say the company failed to make any significant changes to their egg buying policy. They merely changed the suppliers they buy from.
The letter points out:
“While McDonald’s has already established a 100% cage-free purchasing policy in Europe, your U.S. restaurants continue to support egg factory farms that confine hens for most of their lives in cages so small they can’t even spread their wings. These poor birds never get to walk, run, perch, roost, dustbathe, build nests, see the sun, breathe fresh air, or do nearly anything that comes naturally to them. Common sense tells us that animals with legs and wings should be given the basic freedom to move.”
“Sadly, there is not a single federal law to protect hens from cruelty from the time they hatch to the time they are killed. While McDonald’s brags about the “billions and billions served,” millions of hens exploited for your restaurants are being grossly underserved. In fact, these animals are being abused in ways that could land your egg suppliers in jail, if dogs or cats were the victims.”
The letter concludes:
“It’s a good time for some great changes at McDonald’s. As the largest egg buyer in the entire country, McDonald’s has the power – and the moral responsibility – to ensure that the eggs in its Egg McMuffins don’t come from rotten egg suppliers.”

Name: Jeremiah (3) & Mia (15 months)
Location: San Antonio, TX
Color Inspiration: During my second pregnancy, I was having major trouble committing to a color scheme that was both pleasing and would suit a boy and a girl equally well. Couple that with a gradual loss of income, and this room is what you get. It was when I decided to give up that this space started to speak for itself.
Color Inspiration continued: The deep blue accent wall had been previously painted, by me, while pregnant with my son, and the neutral bedding was purchased not long after. As far as the rest of the room? There's the obvious, a bed, bookshelf , and a crib. This is where things get really crazy... We let the toys do the talking. Any color goes in a room without the boundaries of a color scheme!
Tip for Using Color: I often found myself stressing over color options. Buy things you and your kids love and stop worrying so much about whether or not it "goes". Nine times out of ten, it will... Eventually.
Colors Used: For the blue wall, my pregnant self walked (waddled) up to the wall of paint chips, picked the richest blue that could be seen, and that was that. But a better question might be, what colors haven't been used?

Highway now a waterway: 31 miles of Interstate 29 north of Fargo closed due to flooding
ARGUSVILLE, N.D. - This community just north of Fargo was the scene of two water rescues Sunday as flooding in the area forced the closing of 31 miles of Interstate 29 and prompted officials in nearby Harwood and Casselton to the southwest to halt water use.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation Sunday afternoon closed I-29 between exits 69 and 100 until further notice after several inches of water began coursing over 12 miles of highway between mile markers 72 and 84.
A detour sent traffic through Casselton and Blanchard between Cass County Road 20 just north of Fargo and North Dakota Highway 200 just south of Hillsboro. The detour is about 33 miles longer than the stretch of interstate it replaces.
Before the highway was closed early Sunday evening, the flooding was causing an hour delay for northbound traffic, according to Bob Walton, district engineer for the department of transportation.
The expanse of water in the area reminded one highway official of Devils Lake:
"As far as you can see, it's water," said Bruce Nord, maintenance superintendent for the transportation department.
Nord said the stretch of highway hasn't experienced severe flooding conditions since the early '70s. The affected portion of the interstate had been rebuilt in recent years, but not raised.
Nord warned that the interstate in this area could be closed for several days. | <urn:uuid:50874679-18ec-4961-8965-7e6d7d513fcd> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.parkrapidsenterprise.com/content/highway-now-waterway-31-miles-interstate-29-north-fargo-closed-due-flooding-0 | 2015-10-06T14:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443736678818.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001215758-00199-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9727 | 300 |

Sturbridge was first settled in 1729, by settlers from Medfield, and was officially incorporated in 1738. New Medfield and Dummer (after Governor William Dummer) were considered as town names, before the town was named after Stourbridge, England.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 39.0 square miles (101 km2), of which 37.4 square miles (97 km2) is land and 1.5 square miles (4 km2), or 3.95%, is water. Sturbridge is bordered by Charlton and Southbridge to the east, Union, Connecticut and Woodstock, Connecticut to the south, Brimfield and Holland to the west, and Brookfield and East Brookfield to the north.
U.S. Route 20 runs through Sturbridge, and the junction of Interstate 90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) and Interstate 84 is located there. The Wilbur Cross Highway (Connecticut Route 15) formerly ended in Sturbridge; locals sometimes call Haynes Street and portions of Mashapaug Road "Old Route 15". Haynes Street ends at Main Street (Massachusetts Route 131), which connects Sturbridge Center with Southbridge; on the west side of town, Massachusetts Route 148 connects Fiskdale with Brookfield.
The northwestern portion of the town, Fiskdale, is a census-designated place with its own post office and ZIP-code assignment.

Commonly known as Pigeons, Rock Doves are often considered a nuisance city and farm bird.
Introduced into North America from Europe long ago, these birds have been associated with humans for thousands of years.
Rock Doves are thought to have been the first domesticated bird, raised for meat as far back as the time of the ancient Egyptians.
Pigeons have different colors due to breeding by humans. They are the descendants of the wild Rock Dove of Europe.
About 13 inches in length with a dark gray head, iridescent neck, with a light gray back and 2 dark wing bars.
Pairs are monogamous, often breeding in consecutive seasons for as long as both birds of a pair live.
Most will attempt to raise several broods each year. Sometimes as many as four or five broods will be raised in a single year.
The breeding season of these birds can be all year provided climate conditions allow. There seems to be some slowing down during the winter months.
The nesting habits of these birds are a bit unique. The male chooses a site in view of the female, selecting one stick and bringing it back, lays it in front of his mate.
The female who stays at the nesting site accepts the sticks the male brings to her and places them underneath her.
The nest of the these birds can be found along building ledges, rafters, beams, and under bridges or inside barns.
The nest is saucer-like in shape and made of stems and leaves.
The female may sit on the nest a day or two before the first egg is laid. Generally 2 white eggs are laid.
Both the male and female will incubate the eggs although the female does the incubation during the night.
Incubation last for about 18 days and the young will leave the nest in 25 to 29 days after hatching. This time frame is considerably longer than most birds.
This is 10 - 15 days longer than most of our backyard birds.
Young pigeons in the nest are referred to as "squabs"
Initially, the squabs are fed what is referred to as crop milk. This is a regurgitated thick liquid food that comes from the parents crops.
At about 10 days the squabs are fed increasing amounts of solid food such as caterpillars.
Pigeons may live 3 - 6 years in the wild with the average being 3 - 4 years. In captivity they have lived as long as 15 years.
The primary preadators of pigeons include: man, peregrin falcon, and cats.
According to Professor Richard J. Herrnstein at the Harvard Psychological Laboratories they are. Pigeons were smart enough to learn all the letters of the english alphabet.
In another study, Pigeons were able to recognize themselves in a mirror. This makes them one of six species and the only non-mammal to be able to do so.
So yes, Pigeons are a pretty smart bird.

Do you aspire to the kinds of beautiful interiors which feature in magazines and on design websites, but feel panic and despair every time you attempt to plan a redesign of your own place? If you appreciate aesthetics and love beautiful design the problem is likely that youfind something to love in almost any scheme or style you see. Narrowing it down to the right scheme – the perfect scheme for you – becomes an impossible challenge.
Faced with choice overload, you might seek comfort in choices which essentially avoid making proper decisions by playing it so safe that the result is simply bland and boring. Or worse, you become paralysed by indecision, and postpone indefinitely a redesign of any description, leaving you dissatisfied with decor well past its sell by date. (Think you might be a fellow sufferer of design indecision? Check here to see if you any of the indicators ring true for you.)
Why is it so difficult?
A fundamental mistake for indecisive designers is trying to design a scheme all in one go. This idea might be a revelation. Certainly my advice here is the complete opposite to what you probably imagine as the confident approach to interior design.
It’s true that if you were a professional interior designer commissioned to remodel a room for your client, then you would likely start with a blank sheet (more or less). Based on the client “brief” you’d develop an inspiring mood board, presenting a beautiful, covetable design which the client probably couldn’t have imagined in their wildest dreams, but which they instantly recognise as the perfect choice for them. With the client on board, you’d rip out the old and remodel from start to finish, ending in a big ta daaa reveal, ideally reducing the client to tears of joy at the mind blowing transformation. We’ve all witnessed this magic countless times on home makeover shows. It’s hard not to be impressed by the impact of a professional redesign. No wonder this is how we try to approach designing our homes on our own.
However this, absolutely, is not the best way to redesign your home. Here’s why:
1. It dates
If you put a scheme together in one go, you are likely choosing from the same trends and the same era. This is a recipe for a scheme which will look stale and outdated in quick time. Kimberly Duran at Swoonworthy, explained recently why an eclectic style drawing from different looks and eras creates a timeless design.
2. It’s easy to make mistakes
When you’re designing from scratch, you’re having to rely a great deal on your imagination and powers of visualisation. It takes a lot of skill, practice and ability to be good at this. If you haven’t trained as a professional designer (and perhaps even if you have), it’s likely you’ll find this difficult. This can easily lead to making decisions that you’ll regret when you see the the results later in situ.
3. Mistakes are harder to rectify
When you’ve taken a big bang approach to room design, you’ll have picked items which all work together. But what, for example, if you’ve already ordered your sofa, and picked up a rug and accessories to work with your paint colour choice, only to find that you hate the colour on the walls?
4. It requires a big capital outlay
To completely redo a room including decor, furniture and accessories, is an expensive business, even if you’re a savvy shopper and doing the decorating yourself. It’s the sort of expenditure which most of us have to work hard and save for. The need for a big wad of cash might put a room redesign entirely beyond reach. However, if you can stretch to it, the fact that it’s a big financial investment adds to the pressure and making decisions event becomes even harder for fear of getting it “wrong”.
The Incremental Designer
So what’s the alternative to the instant total room makeover? My advice is to become an incremental designer. This means an end to thinking in terms of a blank sheet approach involving throwing out everything you’ve got and starting again. Instead, design and implement your scheme in stages, taking time to reflect and plan between each bit.
Begin by asking yourself which element of your room is the one you’d most like to change. If it’s a major revamp you’re after, then think about the highest impact components of the room’s design first – most probably the walls and the floors, followed by the window treatments and the biggest bits of furniture. Start with decisions about some or all of those.
However, if these bigger (and more expensive) decisions are the ones causing the stress, it can be just as effective to start with something small. Thinking about incorporating some mid century elements in your design for example? Why not start with an art print, or a vase? Test it out in your room. If you love it in the way you think you will, you’ve got the launch point of a scheme already sorted. See this post for more detail on using this strategy to get started with developing a scheme.
Once you’ve got the start of your new scheme in place, you can take your time to consider the next additions, perhaps replacing the pendant light, or a coffee table. Then just continue to add to the scheme a little at a time – a picture here, a vase there. You can do this over any period of time, taking account of your budget, and how quickly you feel comfortable with making more decisions. Building up your scheme in this way means you’re less likely to make a mistake. Any choice you’re not happy with? Back to the shop it goes and take time to rethink.
Ok, so admittedly, by taking this approach you’re sacrificing the opportunity to wow your friend with “the big reveal”. But, realistically, have you ever really been confident enough in your choices and bold enough in your design to achieve that?
By limiting your decisions to one or two items at a time, you’re significantly simplifying the decision-making process, vastly reducing the associated pressure and the stress, and greatly increasing the chances of making good decisive design choices. By focusing on elements of the design individually, you’re more likely to choose things because you love them in their own right, rather than simply because they fit the look – a much better basis for a long term future together. You don’t need to save up for a one-off capital outlay. You can start your redesign today! And best of all you will create a look that is effortlessly timeless and unique to you.
Are you already an incremental designer, or are you too much of a devotee of the big reveal to give that up?

Qatar is secretly supplying anti-tank weapons to the Libyan rebels as part of its strategy of working to overthrow the Gaddafi regime, it has emerged. Officials in Doha confirmed that the Gulf state's military had been shipping French-made Milan missiles to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem, made clear on Wednesday that UN resolutions on Libya permitted the supply of "defensive weapons" to opposition forces struggling to fight Libyan armour.
Qatari government officials were tight-lipped about the deliveries, which are being organised by the joint chiefs of staff and probably made by sea. "We need to send the Libyans equipment so they can defend themselves and get on with their lives," one senior source said. "These are civilians who have had to become fighters because of the situation."
Britain's foreign secretary, William Hague, and colleagues from the 21-nation Libya contact group endorsed Qatar's position. Hague insisted the UK would supply only non-lethal equipment. France's view is similar but both countries – which are leading Nato air strikes in Libya – accept that arming the rebels is legal.
Gaddafi's government has repeatedly complained that the Qataris are supplying the rebels. Khaled Kayim, Libya's deputy foreign minister, claimed on Wednesday that about 20 Qatari specialists were already in Benghazi. Rebel spokesmen have said they are in talks with "friendly" countries, including Qatar and France, to obtain weapons.
Arms deliveries are consistent with Qatar's overall policy. The emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, is the only Arab leader to recognise the interim national council in Benghazi. Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are the only Arab states to participate in Nato-led military operations in Libya, although the Arab League supports the no-fly zone.
Sheikh Hamad was in Washington on Thursday for talks with Barack Obama that were expected to include the Libyan situation.
Mustafa Alani, of the Gulf Institute of Strategic Studies in Dubai, said the shoulder-launched weapons were a significant addition to the rebel arsenal because Nato aircraft could not target Libyan armour in built-up areas without risking collateral damage. Helicopters could do so but there is evident reluctance to deploy them.
"These missiles need minimum training. It's aim and shoot," Alani said. "They are effective especially against the old generation of Soviet-made T72 tanks." Journalists in eastern Libya last week reported seeing rebels armed with Milan missiles for the first time.
Qatar's armed forces are themselves equipped with the Milan but Alani said the weapon could have been bought by the Qataris directly from France for delivery to the Libyans.
Qatar is tiny but immensely wealthy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, and pursues a famously independent foreign policy that allows it to maintain good relations with Iran while hosting key US military bases, as well as discreet links with Israel and its Palestinian Islamist enemy Hamas. Al-Jazeera satellite TV, based in Doha, is hugely influential.
It is also assisting a rebel satellite TV operation broadcasting from Doha and providing other support for Libyan opposition groups. It has agreed to market crude oil produced from eastern Libyan fields no longer under Gaddafi's control. This week Qatar's state-owned marketing company delivered four shipments of oil products to Benghazi. | <urn:uuid:a2260689-ff94-41b0-86cb-a0aec7a10edf> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/14/libya-rebels-weapons-qatar | 2020-02-21T03:42:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145438.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221014826-20200221044826-00092.warc.gz | en | 0.973121 | 683 |

After a very busy round at Sandown only a month ago running in the Australian GT and the Porsche Carrera Cup followed immediately by the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge round at Phillip Island, the MR crew are having a very busy back-end to the 2015 season.
As per usual Warren Luff was on hand as Driver Coach to get the most out of our drivers and share his experience of the ‘Mountain’ in-between his duties as Co-Driver for Garth Tander in the #2 HRT V8 Supercar.
We've had a great run of success at the legendary and unforgiving Mt Panorama Circuit winning three of the previous four Porsche Carrera Cup rounds.
We were also joined by our Australian GT McLaren driver Tony Walls returning to Carrera Cup for one round in preparation for next year’s Bathurst 12 Hour GT race.
Matt was able to secure his second successive Carrera Cup pole position.
In the opening race he got a great start and led David Russell for 6 laps until a safety car period.
After the restart he pushed a little hard into turn 1 allowing Russell to get by on the way up Mountain Straight and take the line for turn two.
For the remaining three laps Matt searched for a way past the much Russell’s ‘wider’ car showing much speed in the process.
Race 2 was cancelled due to torrential rain making the conditions unsafe and no points were recorded.
In race three Matt produced the most forceful and decisive performance of his amazingly short career.
After holding second position for three laps he pulled-off a courageous pass into the high speed ‘Chase’ corner which allowed him to simply drive away from the field collecting a new lap record on the way.
Shane also qualified on pole in the Tag Heuer Challenge Class.
Unfortunately he collected a wall on what was going to be an even better lap during qualifying giving Timmy and the crew a massive challenge to get the car back-together in time for Race 1 on Friday afternoon.
In race 1 after some stern discussions about ‘Championship Management’ from Luffy and his crew Shane did a really solid job to win Challenge class ahead of Bates and Championship challenger Steven Grove.
In the third race he did another great job to lead Bates and Grove and it looked like he was going to win both races back-to-back until he was touched-up from behind by Tony Bates dropping him into second.
Bates was later penalised by the officials but we were already quite happy to have banked some Championship points against Grove.
Shane now leads the Championship by 47 points heading into the final round in two weeks at Surfers.
This was Wallsy’s first and only Carrera Cup race in 2015 and he exceeded our expectations to qualify a very impressive 4th in the Tag Heuer Challenge Class.
In race 1 he did very well to adapt to the car after driving the mighty McLaren GT car with traction control and ABS brakes this season. After a measured race he finished 4th ahead of category regulars Samadi and Cini.
In race 3 he did a great job on the first lap to avoid some spinning cars and other distractions to get ahead of Grove and be running 3rd in class.
If not for an ambitious pass by a Pro Class driver attempting to recover some positions we are confident that Wallsy would have stayed ahead of Grove for 3rd which would have given him 3rd for the round and his second Carrera Cup podium.
There are so many highlights from Round 7 of the Porsche Carrera Cup Championship for us.
We lost a great friend Mark Porter at Bathurst in 2006 so we are well aware that this place can bite very hard when things go wrong.
On the flip-side, when things go well, there is no greater circuit or stage to perform on.
Needless to say we are very proud to have now won four of the last five Carrera Cup rounds at Bathurst.
To have our protégé Matt Campbell win his first Carrera Cup round in such emphatic style on Sunday morning is one of the highlights for MR since our first season back in 2009.
Shane Smollen managed to increase his Championship lead despite a heavy accident in qualifying, again showing the ability of the ‘MR machine’ to never surrender and just get stuck in and fix it!
Having Wallsy back in Carrera Cup for the weekend was a great sense of deja vu but and he thoroughly enjoyed throwing the Cup Car around the awesome circuit.
Of course congratulations to our great mate, team works driver and driver coach Warren Luff for finishing on the podium with Garth Tander in the 'big one' proving that MR has the right bloke dishing out the advice to our drivers!
We have the final Carrera Cup round at home on the Gold Coast in less than two weeks and we are really looking forward to it as the street circuit always provides some great racing as well as a great vantage point for Motorsport fans.

Forgotten Books: The Complete Films of William S. Hart - Diane Kaiser Koszarski
Since I wrote about William S. Hart's final film, TUMBLEWEEDS, a couple of weeks ago for Tuesday's Overlooked Movie, that got me interested in reading more about his life and career. There really hasn't been a lot written about him and his films, but I found a copy of this book and enjoyed it. THE COMPLETE FILMS OF WILLIAM S. HART is just what it says it is, a listing of Hart's films including a synopsis of each one, contemporary reviews of them, and several photographs from each. This must have taken a lot of work, since many of Hart's films are pretty obscure. Diane Kaiser Koszarski also contributes a long biographical introduction about Hart's life, including some behind-the-scenes pictures. I would have liked a little more critical analysis of some of the important pictures from Hart's career, like THE RETURN OF DRAW EGAN and HELL'S HINGES, not to mention TUMBLEWEEDS itself. But even so, this is an entertaining book and a worthwhile look at a towering figure in the early movie business. It's made me want to watch more of Hart's films, so with any luck I'll get to that soon. | <urn:uuid:6600b311-9e87-4871-9bf4-ab838aa8ae75> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://jamesreasoner.blogspot.com/2016/06/forgotten-books-complete-films-of.html | 2016-12-09T17:25:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542714.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00145-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972109 | 277 |

For over seven decades, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival has been the beating cultural heart of the city known as the Pearl of the Adriatic.
Bringing together national and international artists across music, theatre, dance and film, the festival takes place over 45 days using Dubrovnik’s beautiful and historic Old Town and landscapes as backdrops for each magical performance.
Adding a performance at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival to a Croatian land tour program in July or August is a brilliant way to ensure an unforgettable experience of Dubrovnik for any traveler.
2022’s festival program marks a return to ‘normal’ for production with the famous opening ceremony returning to its home in front of the Church of St.Blaise on July 10th. Visitors to the Old Town that night can expect packed stone streets luminated by torches and an impressive firework display as the ceremony ends. It’s a date that’s marked in locals’ calendars; a night to see and be seen, and to welcome the summer to the city.
Across venues that include the island of Lokrum, Lovrijenac Fortress, Park Gradac, Bunic-Kaboga Summer Residence and Rector’s Palace, visitors are able to enjoy classical music concerts, opera, dramas, children’s theatre, exhibitions and ballet. This year’s program will see four-time Grammy nominated Cory Henry bring his R&B stylings to Dubrovnik, renowned soprano Nuria Rial will perform with Accademia del Piacere and Shakespeare’s Hamlet returns for its second year with Frano Maskovic in the lead role.
For full program details and tickets visit the Dubrovnik Summer Festival website.

AKA gives back to young hip-hop artists
Johannesburg- While the rest of us were watching movies and eating popcorn, AKA spent his Sunday afternoon mentoring young hip-hop artists on social media.
The rapper's weekly Twitter campaign called #ComeUpKingdom had our notifications blowing up.
AKA gives young artists the chance to send him their Soundcloud links, from which he selects three tracks to listen to, discuss with followers and gives them a rating, as well as advice on the track.
Not only is this a once in a lifetime opportunity, the track also gets a lot of traction on social media, after Mega Doro tweets it.

This problem is not solved. I have called Sprint at least 4 times in the past three months and they are unable to provide a concrete solution to the problem.
If you have this problem, PLEASE contact Sprint and let them know. They can only do something when a group of people are having the issue.
My time is limited so I send an email through their site versus sitting on the phone. If we all keep notifying them of this problem, they will HAVE to address it.

Each New Moon I analyze the chart for that day to help focus intentions to flow with that planetary energy, thus increasing their potency.
New Moon in Libra - Oct. 4
It's the first day of October as I write. Here in New Hampshire I'm starting to see (for my first time) the colors in the trees just starting to change. Nine days ago was the Fall Equinox, the beginning of Libra's time in the astrological spotlight. And now our October New Moon takes her powerful place (at 11 degrees Libra) on the 4th, at 8:35 PM EDT.
Staying in tune to the Moon's cyclical rhythms helps us ground emotionally and spiritually. In the three-day period of the New Moon it's good to picture life slowing down and offering us a chance to go deeper, to take some quiet time to reflect on where we are. This is valuable because it seems that insights and intentions seem to have more power at this phase.
So what is Libra's energy all about? Ruled by Venus, Libra is always looking for balance and harmony, especially in relationships of all kinds. They are the peacemakers, the diplomats, the ones who try to reconcile opposites. And so this is the kind of focus and energy that sweeps in like a fresh breeze at this time.
How am I doing on the scales of my personal needs vs. those of loved ones, or of taking action based on my personal values and beliefs vs. trying to be all things to others so they will appreciate me? And how much time do I reserve for exploring/really encountering the natural beauty around me? Do I allow time for artful expression, which can be a doorway to contact with higher energies?
If you plan to set intention on the New Moon these kinds of questions can spark you to find your way to your own core issues. I suggest locating 11 degrees of Libra on your natal chart to discover which of the 12 houses it falls into. If it should be the 7th, the House of Marriage, then this would be a clear indicator that the issues of balance between self and other could use a looking at. For me this degree of Libra falls in my 8th House. I will be looking for ways to bring more harmony into the way I share myself and my resources with others, both on the giving and the receiving ends.
When choosing an image for this month's blog I looked for a card image in my Soul Speak Oracle Deck that reflected the energy of Venus.
On the New Moon's chart Mercury is in Scorpio and will remain there for 2 more months. This give us all a chance to open our minds to hidden truths. During this period we have a strong ability to understand the unstated motives of others. We may feel a renewed desire to experience a deeper level of honesty and vulnerability in our close relationships. There is a retrograde period from October 21 to November 10 which could make looking inward even more fruitful.
Saturn is still in Scorpio (now 9 degrees) and won't be done with this sign's energy until 2015, so those of us who are feeling the effects by House placement or transit will just have to find more patience and willingness to learn whatever it is Saturn is showing us. For each of us there is some area of our lives that feels slower. This lack of forward motion helps us to see more in present-time. Many are experiencing a desire to cut out waste and a livened appreciation of things that are useful in nature. On the deepest level Saturn, the task master, is always encouraging us to take more responsibility for ourselves, our health, the state of our energy level, our emotions, our attitude.
It's helpful to know where this transit is located by House. Some possible Scorpio issues are: fear of loss of control, fear of sharing ourselves with others, fear of loss of support from someone we have relied on in the past. What do we do when we feel overwhelmed with our own negative emotions? Do we have a strategy that allows our feelings to be acknowledged, at least to ourselves? Do we trust that feelings are always an opportunity for knowing ourselves more honestly?
Now that the days are becoming shorter than our nights we know we are heading towards the dark time of winter. I once read some author referring to this dark time as "the fruitful darkness." Sounds a bit dramatic but it emphasizes the positive aspect of the dark. Autumn is only the cusp of this dark season but we start to anticipate it now. I will try, as the season progresses, to add a positive spin on this phase of the yearly cycle.

20th-22nd September 2018
I didn’t sleep too well the night before leaving. Partly because I knew I had to get up early, and I think I was also excited and a little nervous too. I have done high-altitude treks before (such as Langtang Valley in Nepal and, more recently, the Quilotoa Loop) but during those, there were lodges to stay at.
This was my first time going it alone, carrying everything I needed to survive upon my own back. Still, Santa Cruz is supposed to be quite safe as far as altitude treks go, and it is also quite popular, so I knew I was likely to meet people along the way…
By 4am, I gave up on sleep. It was only an hour till I needed to leave anyway, so I showered, checked my backpack one last time to make sure I wasn’t leaving anything behind, and headed for the bus station.
I first had to catch a colectivo to Yungay, and then I transferred onto a minibus. The road to Vaquería – where the trek began – was rocky and narrow. It twisted through the Andes like spaghetti and took over three hours just to reach a distance no more than 40 kilometres away as the crow would fly. The views were incredible but unfortunately, we only made one stop during the whole journey, when a group of climbers departed, destined for something much more adventurous than myself. I took a photo of this view of Orkoncocha and Chinan Cocha Lagunas.
Once the bus pulled up into Vaquería, me and the other gringos got off and began hiking. A German guy called Simon seemed to have a similar pace to myself so the two of us walked together.
Most of that first day was a steady upward climb. We passed through a village and then into a valley. We reached Paria (the campsite most people stay the first night) at around 2pm and decided that, as there was plenty of daylight left, we would go further to give ourselves a head start for the next day.
The trail became steeper. The last hour was gruelling, but eventually we reached a campsite. An unofficial one recommended by previous hikers on the app Maps.me. A Spanish couple was already there, and later on, we were joined by a pair of Canadians.
I was feeling dizzy, so the first thing I did was make myself a big cup of cocoa tea with ginger. It made me feel better, but the altitude was affecting me. I discovered – after speaking to the others – that everyone else who had hiked this far up the mountain the first day had been in this area much longer than me, and some of them had even done other hikes. Two days ago, I had been in Lima (which is at sea level). I had jumped to over four thousand meters.
We ate supper together. They laughed when they saw my sleeping bag (which only had a comfort temperature of 4-8 degrees) and saying I wouldn’t survive the night, but the cold wasn’t a problem. I happen to know that an inflatable mattress – when inserted into a sleeping bag rather than placed beneath it – adds a few degrees of warmth.
No. The cold was the least of my worries that night…
As soon as I got into my tent, I had a splitting headache. I couldn’t sleep because my brain was all fuzzy. I realised I had altitude sickness. Which surprised me as I have broken the rules for acclimatisation much more dramatically in the past and always got away with it. I had a temperature too. I actually panicked for a while, because I took out my thermometer and it gave me a reading which was off the scale, but then I realised it must be broken. Otherwise, I would already be dead.
I took a paracetamol, but it didn’t seem to help. Later, I remembered that the Spanish couple had altitude sickness pills, so I woke them up. That made me feel a little better, but it was the early hours of the morning by then, and I realised I had passed almost the entire night without sleep.
By dawn, my headache had gone and I no longer felt short of breath. I had begun to acclimatise. I ate a breakfast of porridge and began to get ready. It rained during the night, so I had to pack away my tent still wet.
Simon and I carried on up the mountain. It was a steep two-hour slog up to Punta Union Pass – the highest point of the entire trail, at 4750 meters. We passed many lagunas on the way.
When we finally reached the top, we took a break and admired the view from both sides. I believed, back then, that most of the hard work was over.
The views were spectacular that day. Towering white summits surrounded us as we made our way down the valley. We saw the iconic Artesonraju, the peak said to be the one used on Paramount Picture’s logo.
We reached Taullipampa campsite at around lunchtime. It was very windy, so putting up our tents was a frustrating process, but they needed to dry.
Being able to leave our things at Taullipampa that afternoon was a blessing, as it meant we could make the side-trek to Laguna Arhuaycocha with a much lighter load. This part of the Santa Cruz circuit turned out to be both a highlight and one of its most difficult challenges…
Skirting around the side of a mountain, we passed through into a grassy plateau. Beyond the trees, in the distance, I saw a steep incline ahead and I began to feel weary. I realised we were going to have to climb it.
The altitude was giving me a hard time again and I kept having waves of dizziness and having to catch my breath. I told Simon to go on ahead. I would catch up. I considered giving up a few times, but I wasn’t going to have come all this way to just turn back.
It was worth it in the end. I reached the official mirador and looked for Simon, to see him waving at me from up a steep ridge he had climbed to appreciate the view from a higher angle. I wasn’t well enough to join him so I rested for a while and watched the lake. Every now and then, I kept hearing loud noises as chunks of ice from the glacier fell into the water. It sounded like thunder.
Simon stayed there a little longer than I did. I decended, hoping the lower airs would clear my head. We reunited by a stream in the plateau and refilled our bottles using my filter before heading back to camp.
After another cup of cocoa and ginger tea, I was feeling much better. I made a dinner of quinoa, sweet potato and peanuts in a spicy sauce, and ate it all. I climbed into my tent and slept very well that night.
I had to pack away my tent wet again in the morning. And I couldn’t be bothered to make porridge or tea, so I ate a breakfast of bread and cheese. Simon and I carried on making our way down the valley. Cashapampa – the village at the end of the trek – was just over twenty kilometres away but it was all downhill, so it was possible I would be drinking beer back in Huaraz that evening.
I passed through many different landscapes that day. Deserts. Moors. Forests. Dried up lakes filled with reeds. Even the remains of old villages which had been abandoned. The icy peaks of the Cordillera were replaced by waterfalls cascading down the steep ridges of the valley.
At some point, Simon and I parted ways. He wanted to camp by the river and relax for a day before returning to civilisation, whereas I decided to keep on going. Cashapampa was only a couple of hours away, and the weather had cleared. I wanted to see the rest of this valley while the sun was still shining and it was at its most picturesque.
I reached Cashapampa in the afternoon and bumped into a tour group who had just finished too and were having a celebratory drink outside a hostel. They had space on their minibus heading back to Huaraz and offered me a ride.

This is a true story and I will do my best to tell it from my memory…
Presenting to a group of staff and students in an Australian school, with them all in the same room (which was something that I think we should do a lot more of!), I talked about the notion of “Digital Footprint”. In this talk, I shared some of the negatives of being online, but also discussing the huge potential you can have by understanding your own digital footprint and leveraging it as well.
I was actually quite surprised when one of the teachers had stated in front of the students that she would never go on Facebook because she would “lose her job” because of all the stuff (she actually didn’t say “stuff” but another ‘s’ word in front of the kids…wow) she didn’t want others to see in her personal life. As I challenged her on this statement that simply being online does not mean you will lose your job, she backed off but you could see she still did not see that being online in any way could be a good thing for our students, even if they are properly guided.
Then I said, “Okay, how many students in here are going to go offline because of what I shared with you today?”
Not one hand raised.
Then I asked, “How many students in here are going to rethink how they do stuff online because of what I shared today?”
Almost every single hand went up in the room.
As much as many would like it to happen, the Internet is not going away. In fact, being active and social online is only going to grow. Are we educating our kids to understand both the positives and negatives? And…are we talking from experience or from what we see on TV or read in a newspaper?
I am going to keep doing my best to prepare our kids not only for their future, but for their present.
It reminds of a powerful statement I heard from Gary Stager:
Less Us. More Them
We can’t continue to deny the world we live in.
(If you are interested, here is a google doc I created to work on with others regarding their “Digital Footprint”. Please feel free to use to work with your staff and your students.) | <urn:uuid:394312ac-e797-4293-85be-464626920f2f> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/3446 | 2016-12-06T16:02:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698541910.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170901-00052-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98325 | 486 |

November 21 – December 19, 2009
Steve Turner Contemporary presents Nothing New: Amir Zaki Selects Vintage Photographs of Southern California, 1870-1950. This marks the first exhibition in the gallery’s new program, Artists Select, in which contemporary artists curate exhibitions by selecting works from local private collections.
Nothing New features more than one hundred photographs that Zaki selected from a large private collection of vintage photographs documenting the growth of Southern California. In a nod to New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, the seminal 1975 exhibition mounted by Eastman House, (a reinterpretation of which is currently on view at LACMA), Zaki has selected images depicting the Southern California landscape as changed by man, images that were created decades before >New Topographics. These photographs depict such buildings as banks, schools, churches and storefronts. They are presented in stylistic and topical groupings and make the case that the New Topographics photographers drew upon a rich history. While Walker Evans is often cited as a source of inspiration, it is photos such as these-many by anonymous photographers-that inspired Evans. Such works, often in the format of the photo postcard, were hugely influential and were the basis for much later work. In addition to the photographs on display, there will be a computer terminal set up so that visitors can view the database of over 3000 images that Zaki saw when he made his selections.
Amir Zaki is an artist living in Southern California. He received his MFA from UCLA in 1999 and exhibits his photographs and videos nationally and internationally. Zaki has had solo shows at the MAK Center Schindler House, West Hollywood; Perry Rubenstein Gallery, New York; James Harris Gallery, Seattle; and Roberts and Tilton, Los Angeles. In his studio work, Zaki creates photographs that introduce new, unexpected forms into the familiar Southern California architectural landscape.
Steve Turner Contemporary is a contemporary art gallery based in Los Angeles that represents the work of emerging and established contemporary artists. Gallery hours: Wednesday-Saturday, 11- 6. Please contact the gallery for further information.

I had so much fun doing the Clean & Simple Stamping FTL76 last week that I wanted to play again! This week's sketch (FTL77) shows an image stamped on the right side of the card. Instead of stamping I decided to use my SU! Manhattan Flower folder. I've been a big fan of letterpress printing lately so I used the flowers "pushed in"/debossed on this card.
The second card has the flowers "pushed out"/embossed. There was no room for the sentiment so I cheated on the sketch by putting the sentiment (A Muse 3-872B) at the top - and since I was already cheating I decided to round the corners. The patterned ribbon is from Making Memories (Hillary from the Noteworthy collection) and the patterned paper is from Dream Street Papers (Chamomile from the Carma Collection). | <urn:uuid:88fd2d7c-e7da-46d4-ad02-5758c42c3538> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://msmathey.blogspot.com/2010/02/ftl77-debossedembossed-flowers.html | 2018-03-21T04:54:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647576.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321043531-20180321063531-00646.warc.gz | en | 0.961546 | 186 |
Rapid induction of ageing character in brandy products : ageing and general overview
CITATION: Van Jaarsveld, F. P. & Hattingh, S. M. 2012. Rapid induction of ageing character in brandy products : ageing and general overview. South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture, 33(2):225-252, doi:10.21548/33-2-1122.
The original publication is available at http://www.journals.ac.za/index.php/sajev
Ageing is one of the most important and most costly factors determining the quality of distilled beverages. As part of a broader study that investigated techniques for the rapid induction of a desirable ageing character in brandy products, the effect of maturation for eight months at room temperature and below 0°C in glass bottles, and the relationship/correlation between treatment, chemical composition or wood-derived congener concentrations and pot-still brandy sensory quality, are reported on. Extracts representing different oak types (American or French), levels of toasting, suppliers (i.e. cooper or commercial), types of medium (ethanol or water), concentration types (open or reduced pressure) and concentration levels (by 45, 65 or 85%) were added to pot-still spirit and stored for eight months in glass containers. Matured and unmatured (control) pot-still brandy samples were analysed for wood-derived compounds by means of HPLC and GC. The different treatments brought about chemical changes with a noticeable impact on the acceptability of oak extracts and the overall quality of pot-still brandies. Through application and selection of the correct oak type and treatment combinations, it therefore was possible to rapidly produce good quality brandies without the use of expensive oak barrels. Maturation in glass bottles had a lesser impact on further improvement of the final product, not the same as the reported improvement from ageing in wooden barrels. The production of good quality brandies and the rapid induction of the ageing character through certain treatment combinations, with little need for further maturation, therefore was achieved in glass. The complexity of brandies aged in glass rather than wooden barrels might be different, since ageing in wooden barrels brings about all the characteristics, complexities and flavours that characteristically evolve over time under the more oxidative conditions in wooden barrels. Future research should focus on a combination of both technologies, using certain oak treatment combinations together with traditional barrel maturation for the improvement and rapid induction of the ageing character in brandy products. | <urn:uuid:295a0785-f0fe-48da-b6b1-e07999f52b2f> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://scholar.sun.ac.za/handle/10019.1/81448 | 2018-10-21T07:53:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583513804.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181021073314-20181021094814-00284.warc.gz | en | 0.930719 | 514 |

The made-for-television movie, originally a product of economic necessity that combined the efficiency of the B-movies of the '30s and '40s with a low-risk way of testing prospective TV series, has always struggled for the prestige granted its theatrical competitors. Although producers of TV movies argued that their smaller scale allowed them to claim a territory of intimate personal drama that big-screen movies had abandoned, it also created a niche for safe and predictable dramas barely distinguishable from the repetitive network programming that surrounded them. As much as the networks love to advertise the occasional small-screen appearances of big-screen personalities and talk about their "commitment to quality programming," most TV movies -- for cable as well as for the networks -- are little more than filler for the holes in their weekly schedules. For every The Day After or Lonesome Dove, there are dozens of Danielle Steel adaptations and contrived thrillers like Baby Monitor: Sound of Fear.
In recent years, cable networks like HBO and Showtime have entered the made-for-TV field, widening the scope a little with films like And the Band Played On and Paris Trout, but these, too, are the rare exceptions. As two new and highly publicized productions premiering this month illustrate, the traditional broadcast networks no longer have a corner on banality. The BET Movies/Starz! co-production Funny Valentines and Showtime's Free of Eden are both strategically placed to debut during Black History Month, though race is only a marginal issue in them and history virtually nonexistent. Both have strong performances from players better known for their work in theatrical films, and in both cases the stars receive credit as "executive producer," a sign of the importance of attracting name talent to TV product. Both are ambitious and overplotted, wandering into stray subplots and trying too hastily to tie everything up in the last 30 minutes. Though one nearly succeeds in spite of its faults and the other is a total failure in spite of its brief flashes of charm, both ultimately run for the cover of trite, feel-good conclusions. Both are, in a sense, representative of the average made-for-TV movie's notion of "quality programming," still more of a marketing gimmick than an actual method of production.
Funny Valentines, based on a short story by J. California Cooper, is about friendship and family ties, about small-town life and traditional values, encouraging the viewer to simultaneously view its characters with a nostalgic respect and feel superior to their parochialism. The always watchable Alfre Woodard plays a Manhattan housewife who abandons her unfaithful husband to rediscover her Southern roots, taking her two daughters (one a typically sullen teenager) to visit the small Southern town and the beloved, mildly retarded cousin (Loretta Devine) she hasn't seen in years. Why haven't these two once-inseparable friends stayed in touch? You don't even have to follow the hazy flashbacks to guess that deep, dark secrets are due to be revealed, lost memories will be recovered and old wounds will be reopened and finally healed. Though Woodard and Devine are both very good, their friendship often genuinely moving, the film winds itself through one melodramatic twist after another (rape, romance, a death in the family, even a snakebite), all of them forecast so clearly that the audience spends most of the film waiting for the characters to catch up.
What makes Funny Valentines disturbing and even painful to watch is an unspoken cynicism lying beneath its sentimentality, a sense that audiences won't be troubled by the predictability of the drama. This even extends to the selection of the director. In 1992, when new black filmmakers were as fashionable as "independent" ones are today, Julie Dash made one of the most acclaimed films of the decade, Daughters of the Dust, but her only subsequent jobs have been as director of Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" music video and as a contributor to the HBO anthology Subway Stories. To the producers of Funny Valentines, Dash isn't much more than a name they can exploit, and despite the attractive cinematography and fine performances, her contributions are diminished by the sheer triteness of the script. She's allowed a few flourishes here and there, but the film itself is duty-bound to plod its way through its tiresome plot paces. If its own lazy storytelling and uninspired plot resolutions weren't bad enough, it's also proof of the fickle nature of film culture, where the independent voice heralded in one season becomes just another employee clocking in in the next.
(Julie Dash isn't the only director whose faded promise is exploited by made-for-TV producers. Steve James, who directed the acclaimed Hoop Dreams and followed it up with the barely released Prefontaine, is represented by another cable premiere this month, TNT's Passing Glory.)
Showtime's Free of Eden, directed by Leon Ichaso, is in most respects even more contrived and unbelievable than the psychodrama of Funny Valentines, yet the film itself is far more entertaining. The story is simple enough to pass as an Afterschool Special with rough language, and a handful of unnecessary subplots -- including those involving a murder in a restaurant and a woman in prison for murdering her abusive husband -- are barely distractions, but the film survives on the strength of its two central characters. Sidney Poitier plays a successful businessman, while his daughter Sydney Tamiia Poitier plays a girl from the Brooklyn projects who decides that her only way out is to convince the older man to give her a basic education.
This contrived situation, the stuff of a screwball comedy, is muddled and its "Reading Is Fundamental" message a familiar one, but director Ichaso manages to avoid the story's potential to become "My Fair Lady meets Clockers" and allows the central performances of Poitier pere and fille to hold centerstage. Sidney Poitier is, of course, an extraordinarily compelling, if frequently underrated, figure, and his daughter holds her own against him, never suggesting that hers is a vanity casting. The film itself is self-conscious and didactic but in a way that recalls Poitier's own work as a director in the '70s. In dramatic terms, Free of Eden cheats, compressing too many plot points into a quick conclusion, but you can almost forgive it, thanks to the complexity Poitier brings to it through sheer iconic strength. A banal message is redeemed by the power of his personal presence.
Funny Valentines shows at 7 p.m. Feb. 20 on BET; Free of Eden premieres at 7 p.m. Feb. 21 on Showtime. | <urn:uuid:89b74893-cfb6-4fe6-9b45-18cfcc8652c4> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.riverfronttimes.com/1999-02-17/news/home-movies/full/ | 2013-12-13T02:19:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164805405/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204134645-00066-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960406 | 1,429 |
int scanf ( const char * format, ... );
Read formatted data from stdin
Reads data from stdin and stores them according to the parameter format into the locations pointed by the additional arguments.
The additional arguments should point to already allocated objects of the type specified by their corresponding format specifier within the format string.
- C string that contains a sequence of characters that control how characters extracted from the stream are treated:
- Whitespace character: the function will read and ignore any whitespace characters encountered before the next non-whitespace character (whitespace characters include spaces, newline and tab characters -- see isspace). A single whitespace in the format string validates any quantity of whitespace characters extracted from the stream (including none).
- Non-whitespace character, except format specifier (%): Any character that is not either a whitespace character (blank, newline or tab) or part of a format specifier (which begin with a % character) causes the function to read the next character from the stream, compare it to this non-whitespace character and if it matches, it is discarded and the function continues with the next character of format. If the character does not match, the function fails, returning and leaving subsequent characters of the stream unread.
- Format specifiers: A sequence formed by an initial percentage sign (%) indicates a format specifier, which is used to specify the type and format of the data to be retrieved from the stream and stored into the locations pointed by the additional arguments.
A format specifier for scanf follows this prototype:
Where the specifier character at the end is the most significant component, since it defines which characters are extracted, their interpretation and the type of its corresponding argument:
Except for n, at least one character shall be consumed by any specifier. Otherwise the match fails, and the scan ends there.
|i||Integer||Any number of digits, optionally preceded by a sign (+ or -).|
Decimal digits assumed by default (0-9), but a 0 prefix introduces octal digits (0-7), and 0x hexadecimal digits (0-f).
|d or u||Decimal integer||Any number of decimal digits (0-9), optionally preceded by a sign (+ or -).|
d is for a signed argument, and u for an unsigned.
|o||Octal integer||Any number of octal digits (0-7), optionally preceded by a sign (+ or -).|
|x||Hexadecimal integer||Any number of hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f, A-F), optionally preceded by 0x or 0X, and all optionally preceded by a sign (+ or -).|
|f, e, g||Floating point number||A series of decimal digits, optionally containing a decimal point, optionally preceeded by a sign (+ or -) and optionally followed by the e or E character and a decimal integer (or some of the other sequences supported by strtod).|
Implementations complying with C99 also support hexadecimal floating-point format when preceded by
|c||Character||The next character. If a width other than 1 is specified, the function reads exactly width characters and stores them in the successive locations of the array passed as argument. No null character is appended at the end.|
|s||String of characters||Any number of non-whitespace characters, stopping at the first whitespace character found. A terminating null character is automatically added at the end of the stored sequence.|
|p||Pointer address||A sequence of characters representing a pointer. The particular format used depends on the system and library implementation, but it is the same as the one used to format %p in fprintf.|
|[characters]||Scanset||Any number of the characters specified between the brackets.|
A dash (-) that is not the first character may produce non-portable behavior in some library implementations.
|[^characters]||Negated scanset||Any number of characters none of them specified as characters between the brackets.|
|n||Count||No input is consumed.|
The number of characters read so far from stdin is stored in the pointed location.
|%||%||A % followed by another % matches a single %.|
The format specifier can also contain sub-specifiers: asterisk (*), width and length (in that order), which are optional and follow these specifications:
|*||An optional starting asterisk indicates that the data is to be read from the stream but ignored (i.e. it is not stored in the location pointed by an argument).|
|width||Specifies the maximum number of characters to be read in the current reading operation (optional).|
|length||One of hh, h, l, ll, j, z, t, L (optional).|
This alters the expected type of the storage pointed by the corresponding argument (see below).
This is a chart showing the types expected for the corresponding arguments where input is stored (both with and without a length sub-specifier):
Note: Yellow rows indicate specifiers and sub-specifiers introduced by C99.
|length||d i||u o x||f e g a||c s [^]||p||n|
|hh||signed char*||unsigned char*||signed char*|
|h||short int*||unsigned short int*||short int*|
|l||long int*||unsigned long int*||double*||wchar_t*||long int*|
|ll||long long int*||unsigned long long int*||long long int*|
- ... (additional arguments)
- Depending on the format string, the function may expect a sequence of additional arguments, each containing a pointer to allocated storage where the interpretation of the extracted characters is stored with the appropriate type.
There should be at least as many of these arguments as the number of values stored by the format specifiers. Additional arguments are ignored by the function.
These arguments are expected to be pointers: to store the result of a scanf operation on a regular variable, its name should be preceded by the reference operator (&) (see example).
On success, the function returns the number of items of the argument list successfully filled. This count can match the expected number of items or be less (even zero) due to a matching failure, a reading error, or the reach of the end-of-file.
If a reading error happens or the end-of-file is reached while reading, the proper indicator is set (feof or ferror). And, if either happens before any data could be successfully read, EOF is returned.
If an encoding error happens interpreting wide characters, the function sets errno to EILSEQ.
/* scanf example */
int main ()
char str ;
printf ("Enter your family name: ");
printf ("Enter your age: ");
printf ("Mr. %s , %d years old.\n",str,i);
printf ("Enter a hexadecimal number: ");
printf ("You have entered %#x (%d).\n",i,i);
This example demonstrates some of the types that can be read with scanf:
Enter your family name: Soulie
Enter your age: 29
Mr. Soulie , 29 years old.
Enter a hexadecimal number: ff
You have entered 0xff (255).
Particular library implementations may support additional specifiers and sub-specifiers.
Those listed here are supported by the latest C and C++ standards (both published in 2011), but those in yellow were introduced by C99 (only required for C++ implementations since C++11), and may not be supported by libraries that comply with older standards.

With a new decade, comes fresh innovative interior design ideas, and where better to promote your contemporary and energizing ideas then in a busy office in Beijing that will no doubt catch the attention of clients.
Its futuristic, inspiring and pristine white combined with an open-plan essence and exciting shimmering floors. The design leaped into action after the first architect failed to meet the high standards of the Swedish client, but with a doubt this design cannot be matched but rather used as a template for offices tempting its way into a bold concept.
With sensational views, the interior had to either marry up or complement the surroundings, but rather than fit an existing design into the exterior, the architect instead conceived the office according to the location. The offices are situated at a busy intersection in a central part of the Chinese capital, with the CCTV building providing an interesting landmark to the northeast and more perfunctory element: a main highway running in an easterly direction. With this in mind the architect thought it would be essential to capture this unique and dynamic urban scenery into the workspace.
Transparency was the primary component for this office: with the city scenes forming the busy background for the reception, meeting rooms and the offices. False ceilings were removed to expose all features which were later painted black, and mirrored louver’s were added to add a real sense of theatre.
Fluorescent tubes illuminate the office, whilst giving the lighting a touch of randomness which in turn acts as a foil to a rigid ceiling grid. Closed cellular offices are specifically designed to look like small pods, which continue the outer-space aesthetic, along with the glossy epoxy floors throughout.
New technology has made an appearance or in some cases, showcases the beautiful landscape in the case of glazing which can be electronically turned opaque when privacy is paramount or transparent when the views can inspire the workers.
Ease of communication was at the utmost importance for the design, which is why circular closed rooms and rows of workstations are interspersed with one another, so the 20 or so workers can interact relatively free of boundaries. Using these techniques along with welcoming views spread around the office; give the sense of a light and airy environment for all workers- not just the executives.
Whether it is solely down to the refreshing commercial flooring, spacious pristine white walls, or perhaps even the well-designed curved offices one thing is certain: this office sets the benchmark for competitors out there striving to create the next big idea. | <urn:uuid:f65e550b-60cd-410c-a5f1-7bde48107782> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://webstersworld.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/the-office-that-is-rivalled-by-no-other/ | 2017-03-29T21:01:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218191396.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212951-00272-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959217 | 504 |
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Ryan Succop kicked a 53-yard field goal into the wind as time expired Sunday to give the Tennessee Titans a 19-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on a frigid afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium.
Succop, who spent the first part of his career with Kansas City, came up short on his first try at the winner, but Chiefs coach Andy Reid had called a timeout just before the snap. Given a second chance, Succop knocked it through with a couple feet to spare as the Titans poured off the bench to celebrate.
The Titans’ rallied from a 17-7 hole, and Derrick Henry’s second touchdown got Tennessee (8-6) within 17-16 with just over three minutes left. But Titans coach Mike Mularkey went for the 2-point conversion and the lead. Marcus Mariota was pressured immediately and his pass never reached the end zone.
But the Chiefs (10-4), trying to clinch a playoff spot, were unable to pick up enough first downs to run out the clock and Tennessee got the ball back with a minute left. With no timeouts, Mariota calmly found Rishard Matthews for 19 yards and Delanie Walker twice to set up Succop’s field-goal attempt.
The dramatic late-game turn came after Tennessee squandered plenty of chances early in the game.
Matthews fumbled within sight of the goal line in the first half, ending the Titans’ streak of four straight games without a turnover. And Mariota, a Hawaii native, had plenty of trouble dealing with the cold weather, fumbling the ball away and throwing an interception to Ron Parker .
It was 1 degree at kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium, with a wind chill of minus-19, making it the coldest game in Kansas City since the franchise began keeping records in 1994.
Still, the Chiefs got off to a hot start in the cold weather when Tyreek Hill faked like he was running an option play and took an inside handoff instead, running untouched 68 yards for a first-quarter touchdown.
It was the sixth touchdown for the dynamic rookie in the last four weeks.
Smith added his touchdown later in the half, and Cairo Santos knocked through a field goal, but the Chiefs blew a couple of opportunities. They were repelled twice at the 1-yard line and came away without any points, and Smith threw an interception in the end zone early in the second half.
Succop hit from 39 yards early in the fourth quarter make it a one-possession game, and the Titans promptly got the ball back and marched the other way, twice converting on third down and once on fourth to set up Henry’s 1-yard TD plunge. The 2-point conversion attempt was a disaster, but it wound up being moot.
The Titans’ defense and Succop’s strong right leg made sure of it.
The record for coldest game at Arrowhead Stadium had been 9 degrees before Sunday. It was so cold that the fuses in the west scoreboard freeze, blanking out a large section of it for much of the game.
The Titans lost safety Da’Norris Searcy to a concussion and cornerback Jason McCourty to a chest injury in the first half. Defensive tackle Karl Klug left with an ankle injury in the second half.
Chiefs play Denver on Christmas night.
Titans visit Jacksonville on Saturday. | <urn:uuid:578d63d3-2863-4105-a985-368a3c1d41be> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://ksn.com/2016/12/18/succops-53-yard-field-goal-gives-titans-19-17-win-over-kc/ | 2017-01-22T22:29:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281649.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00191-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965777 | 718 |

We are winding down the fall, just like that. Hard to believe that just a few newsletters ago I was posting about 4v4, such is life.
The 0-30 Squad hosts the League 2 semi-final on Sunday at 3pm. Somewhere, somehow the 0-30’s became horribly effective, and strung together a nice winning streak to position themselves at the top of the table. Not only are they in the League 2 semi-finals, but they have secured a promotion to league 1, where I would only assume they’ll be put in place back to the levels of mediocrity. Nonetheless, Sunday, 3pm, White township fields, good soccer?
Winter League Sign-Up:
And now the moment all of you have been waiting for. Winter League Sign Ups. Judging by the number of e-mails, texts, and singing telegrams I’ve received along the lines of:
– when does indoor start
– when is the draft
– what team am I on
– can I be on joe’s team this winter
– did you post about indoor yet
– do you know when indoor starts
– indoor, make sure I’m on a team
and my favorite:
– I hate indoor, do you know when it starts
Means you’ve all been anxiously waiting for direction. Therefore, I announce. Draft day will be Sunday November 9th at Brunzies Taproom. Futsal League kickoff will be Sunday November 16th with matches starting (tentatively at 11, 12, 1, 2.)
This year we will have a full draft with all players signing up on the public online sign up sheet hosted by google.
League info, sign ups, etc can be found on the Winter League Page. | <urn:uuid:319daa28-2f6f-4d40-b47f-ccb412dff6f5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://indianacountyfootballclub.com/weekly-newsletter-2014-11/ | 2022-10-06T23:14:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337889.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006222634-20221007012634-00224.warc.gz | en | 0.945311 | 384 |

All runners inspire us
I look forward to our Timeout Tuesday runs, and this morning, Erica and I were met by other runners, including a runner with her 3 month old in her running stroller, along with her running buddy who is also an avid runner. Our run started out as a walk/run until baby was situated, then we managed to finish 3 miles on the Prairie Path as the baby slept with the steady soft patterning of running shoes hitting the path and the comfort ride of the BOB running stroller rocking her to sleep. She proceeded to tell me she enjoys her runs so much, that she ran all through her pregnancy until maybe the 6th month and now is running with the baby. She was so happy to find a running group that would accommodate her schedule, and go at her pace. And to me, she is an inspiration because even with the change in life that a newborn brings, if you still love running, you can still go out and do it. And we will continue to meet with her at our Timeout Tuesday runs on Tuesday mornings at Prairie Path Foot and Ankle.

Hi I am a newly set up bookkeeper and have finally got my first client which is wonderful, but...his accounts for his limited company are a bit messey and I would be very grateful for any advice on the best way to sort them out. Moving forward he's setting up as a sole trader instead.
Company set up in June 16 by my client and his working partner, both directors of the company. (Plasterer / Kitchen fitter)
Started trading Dec 16 then in May they fell out and other director went off to do his own thing but refuses to resign as director.
They had an initial meeting with an accountant when they set up but nothing further happened (e.g. Formal engagement). My client has been under the impression that the accountant was working for him but of course as they haven't nothing has been done. I have now filed the Confirmation Statement for him (late) and crossing fingers.
They did not know they had to register for Corporation Tax either so I will be doing that shortly when I get the rest his details to log in.
The company is not registered for VAT and there will be very little left in terms of profit, if my client is lucky.
Subbies - he has used a number of sub-contractors, some invoiced, some just paid cash but of course had no idea he should have been deducting CIS. How on earth do I go about sorting that?
Directors salary - there is nothing posted in the accounts (he has been using FeeAgent) to suggest either director has taken out any money at all! Certainly not as a salary. If they really haven't taken anything out then is it ok to just split whatever is left in the company between the directors as long as it is under £5000?
Having said that, as the other director has clearly not been acting in the interests of the company and has not fulfilled the duties of a director, is my client still liable to pay him. They both own 1 share each in the company.
I'm meeting with my client tomorrow morning and hope to get to the bottom of the company's finances and go through with him the next steps in getting the accounts sorted. (Oh the fun I shall have going through all his expenses in Freeadent and re-coding them! 😉 )

The New Octavia Estate: Space At Its Finest
MLADA BOLESLAV, CZECH REPUBLIC – Feb 20, 2013: ŠKODA continues its model offensive with the new Octavia Estate. Only a few weeks after the launch of the Octavia Hatch, the third-generation Octavia Estate celebrates its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show from the 5th to the 17th of March, 2013.
ŠKODA’s Octavia sets new standards in the compact segment and reaffirms its unique position in this class. The Octavia Estate offers unrivalled space, functionality, innovative safety and comfort systems, fuel efficiency, and many ‘Simply Clever’ ideas at exceptional value for money.
“The ŠKODA Octavia is at the heart of the brand and our most popular model by far,” said ŠKODA Chairman, Prof. Dr. h.c. Winfried Vahland. He continued: “The Estate represents all good ŠKODA values and has a large share in the success of this model range. With the third generation, the Octavia Estate takes a huge leap forward. The car really is in a class of its own; offering mid-class quality at compact-estate prices.”
The new ŠKODA Octavia Estate has grown significantly, boasting a dynamic and elegant design. ŠKODA Chief Designer, Jozef Kabaň, and his team have redesigned the car from head to toe. Never before has a ŠKODA Octavia Estate been so dynamic and yet timelessly elegant, distinctive, sophisticated and confident on the road as the third generation of this best seller. An outstanding amount of space, fuel efficiency, innovative safety and comfort systems as well as many ‘Simply Clever’ ideas make up the ŠKODA genes that set it apart from its competitors.
Dynamic loadmaster with precise design
The new ŠKODA Octavia Estate is 90 mm longer and 45 mm wider than its predecessor. The wheelbase has grown by almost 11 cm, resulting in record room and space. “Our ŠKODA Octavia Estate offers rear-seat passengers lots of legroom – 73 mm in front of the knees – the highest in its segment. And at 610 litres, the size of the boot sets a new record for its class,” said Dr. Frank Welsch, Škoda Board Member for Technical Development. By folding the rear backrests down, the boot space of the Estate increases to an impressive 1,740 litres.
There are also numerous ‘Simply Clever’ details shared with the Octavia Hatch, including, double-sided boot floor mat, the comprehensive net restraint system, multiple bag hooks, a waste bin and numerous bottle holders, multimedia device holders, an ice scraper in the fuel tank opening and a warning-vest holder under the driver’s seat. In addition, the new Estate offers a host of smart solutions which make life easier, including a coat rack and a remote fold-down function for the rear-seat backrest.
The folding passenger seat makes transporting long objects easy. There is space for a luggage compartment retractable parcel shelf and roof bars under the adjustable and retractable variable boot floor.
The design of the Octavia Estate is the epitome of clarity, precision and perfect proportions. “The new Škoda Octavia Estate is the perfect combination of form and function,” said Dr. Welsch.
The front view is identical to the new Hatch. The clearly structured side view of the new ŠKODA Octavia Estate works through a dynamically flowing silhouette. Additionally, the closed, clear-cut side graphic is distinctively emphasised by the high Tornado line. The roofline of the Estate slopes gently towards the rear and passes elegantly over into the D-pillar. The rear lights extend far into the side rear section and are the final points of the tornado line.
The rear is also clearly and precisely designed. The new Octavia Estate is instantly recognisable as a ŠKODA from the back view because of the C-shaped taillights as well as the characteristic triangular elements in the tailgate. Just like the Hatch, the ŠKODA Octavia Estate has two C-shaped light strips in each taillight which enhance the graphical impact.
Innovative assistants, fuel-efficient engines
There are modern safety assistants available upon request onboard the new ŠKODA Octavia Estate such as the Automatic Post-Collision Brake, Front Assistant with City Emergency Braking Function, the Driver Activity Assistant (fatigue detection), the Crew Protection Assistant or the Lane Assistant to keep you inside the lanes.
If an accident does occur, a comprehensive passive safety package ensures the best possible protection of the driver and passengers, including up to nine airbags.
The new Octavia Estate has numerous electronic comfort systems that have so far only been seen in higher class cars. These include the new Adaptive Cruise Control, an automatic distance control, and the Intelligent Light Assistant, a high-beam assistant. There is also a range of completely new generation radio and radio-navigation systems.
The newly developed engines of the third-generationŠKODA Octavia Estate are up to 17% more economical than the previous generation engines. In the UK, two petrol and two diesels are available. A fuel efficient GreenLine version will reach a consumption of only 83.1mpg and CO2 emissions of only 89 g/km.
Also to be seen first at the 2013 Geneva Motor show is the ŠKODA Octavia Estate 4×4 with a newly developed all-wheel drive and fifth-generation Haldex clutch. | <urn:uuid:2abb6103-cf8f-4a88-a097-928aeffd815a> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2013/02/20/066783-new-octavia-estate-space-its-finest.html | 2014-12-23T04:28:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802778085.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075258-00097-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.928206 | 1,203 |
Applications Top 27,000, Setting a New RecordContact: Janet Sassi
Three years ago, Fordham was shattering its applications record with a pool topping 20,000.
Today, undergraduate applications at the University have surpassed the 27,000 mark, setting yet another high.
|Graphic by Nicole Weinbrom
As of Feb. 1, the undergraduate applications pool had hit an unofficial tally of 27,377—a 14 percent increase over last year.
This marks the 19th consecutive year that the number of students seeking admission to Fordham has increased, said John W. Buckley, associate vice president for undergraduate enrollment. Applications have doubled since 2003.
“Fordham is a school that has had terrific momentum for a while now,” Buckley said. “It has always had a fine reputation, but that reputation has been enhanced in recent years. In my conversations with counselors, many of them refer to Fordham as a ‘hot school.’”
The record-breaking number was helped by an all-time high in early action (EA) admission applications, which increased 17 percent over last year. In addition, Fordham logged huge increases in its EA applicants from outside its traditional regions of activity, especially from the distance markets of Illinois, California and Texas.
Buckley noted that the trend among EA applicants is also mirrored, to a degree, in the traditional admissions pool, which logged healthy applications increases over last year from the Plains/Rockies states, the West and the Southwest states.
This year’s crop of EA applicants represented one of the most diversified application pools ever, with a 49 percent increase in Asian Americans and 36 percent increases in both African Americans and Hispanics.
The number of international applications jumped 26 percent this year. SAT and ACT scores and class rankings also have crept slightly higher among EA and traditional applicants, Buckley said.
While the traditional Northeastern admissions pools are expected to wane over the coming decade due to demographic shifts, Buckley said that this cycle’s traditional markets still look very strong.
He attributed the across-the-board increased interest in Fordham to successful direct marketing campaigns that focused on students who are “a good fit” for the Jesuit University based on test scores and self-reported academic information. In addition, Buckley noted that the open house visits to the Lincoln Center and Rose Hill campuses logged 2,200 students, up 9 percent over last year. Such visits, he said, are a critical part of the process.
“Once we have the students and their families on campus, we know that we have a much stronger chance of eventually getting them to enroll,” Buckley said.
All student acceptance notices will be sent out by April 1.
“Last year, Fordham enrolled an academically talented freshman class that was above our target,” Buckley said. “Now, we face the challenge of replicating that success.”
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to approximately 14,700 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in Westchester, the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College in the United Kingdom. | <urn:uuid:db2c8724-0c3e-4192-afcd-50aae52e815c> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.fordham.edu/campus_resources/enewsroom/archives/archive_1767.asp | 2014-03-07T05:25:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999635916/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060715-00062-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962007 | 694 |
Your article about the dangerous conditions at Spring Grove Hospital was an accurate description of what has been happening in our public psychiatric hospitals ("At mental facility, staffers besieged," March 3).
I was a staff psychiatrist at Spring Grove Hospital for 25 years until June 2013, when the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene decided to close the two assisted living units on the hospital grounds. This was an unfortunate decision since those units served as chronic care for many patients who could not get community placements.
Most of our patients were forensic cases who already had been adjudicated as "not criminally responsible" or "not competent and not dangerous." Because of that, the courts had no say about where and when we discharged such patients into community housing.
Your article correctly pointed out that the mental health courts have changed the patient population at state psychiatric hospitals in such a way that they have now become "forensic" hospitals. None of the remaining state psychiatric hospitals are free to take voluntary or even civilly committed patients unless a judge commits them from the bench.
Consequently, dozens of patients languish in emergency rooms and jails, waiting to get into a state psychiatric hospital. Basically, judges in the mental health courts have used the pre-trial status of defendants to detain them indefinitely at state hospitals.
The judges will not allow the defendants to go to trial, even after an evaluation has been done, if they aren't satisfied with the aftercare plans. That means that most defendants must have unrealistic aftercare plans, such as supervised housing that does not exist. So they wait in the hospital despite not needing that level of care.
Mental health courts have become an instrument of social engineering from the bench. What is overlooked are the right to a speedy trial of the psychiatric patient-defendants.
When my unit closed, I was offered a position as a ward, psychiatrist but I chose to retire rather that put myself at risk of being attacked by a patient. The judges bear responsibility for the dangerous conditions at Spring Grove, as well as for the unavailability of hospital care for the many non-forensic indigent patients who no longer can get into state psychiatric hospitals.

Rather, a strong understanding of managed care operations and change-management mindset would most important aspect in this role. | <urn:uuid:a8497d84-6758-4123-9c7a-d21483bc8f46> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://grantcooper.com/job/vice-president-medical-management-operations/ | 2020-02-17T18:11:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143079.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217175826-20200217205826-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.927202 | 413 |
Sometimes simple is best.
Over the Christmas holidays I overloaded on financial business news. How do I know I was overloaded? I got confused. Like a pilot flying by the horizon on a cloudy day and not by his/her instruments, I was off course and started to stall.
Do you get like this sometimes especially about the financial markets? You want to take everything in. You want to hear from all the so-called experts and go through their PowerPoint decks. But at the end of the day…. what are you left with? What information should you weigh more than others? Speaking for myself I simply get confused and locked in a world where doing nothing, or worse, thinking I should go to cash is the result even though I know it’s not the optimal course of action.
Then I return to my world of MPT [Model Price Theory] and everything starts to make sense to me. All stock prices and index values look logical and rational. And a simple aphorism usually leaps out of nowhere from my subconscious that guides me on the right course. And in this instance it came to me in the form of a question.
“Is the tide coming in or out?”
Yes, I know I’m from the east coast – where tides rise and fall 35 to 38 feet, 40 minutes from where I grew up – but I think this simple question will help you distill all the financial analysis that is currently out there.
If you have seen me on television you know I’m a big fan of the US dollar. (If not see my blog here on ‘King US Dollar Returning’.) So what does a strong US dollar have to do with anything? Well if the world is purchasing US dollars they need to purchase something with these dollars…yes? A lot of these dollars usually end up in the bond market, US Treasuries as a matter of fact. However some of these dollars do end up in the equity markets. And like the US Treasuries the instrument of choice for most foreigners is the S&P 500 Index ETF or what is known as ‘Spiders’.
Also big moves in currencies usually take a while to occur, that I like to call ‘secular’. How long is ‘secular’? Probably five (5) years a least. So as the US dollar floats upward this usually begets more buying further increasing the value of the dollar.
So, is the tide (in the value of the US dollar) coming in (up) or out (down)?
The tide is certainly coming in! And will do so for a ‘secular’ period of time. What will that do to US assets as a whole? US assets will go up, again over time.
How simple is that? “Pretty, pretty simple!” as Larry David would say.
And I like simple.
As usual in these monthly blogs, let’s have a look at our Model Price chart on the S&P 500 Index to see what is going on.
S&P 500 Index with weekly price bars andEBV Lines (colored lines).
As a reminder we aggregate all companies in the S&P 500 Index into one chart on a market capitalized basis (like the S&P 500 Index itself), so we can see where the market – S&P 500 – is trading relative to its EBV lines.
As you can observe the US market, as defined by the S&P 500, is still in the middle of the zone bookmarked by EBV+3 and EBV+4. If the market rallied to EBV+4 (2217) this would represent a gain of some 8.2%. If the market corrected back to EBV+3 (1773) investors would be suffering losses of almost 14%.
For people new to Model Price Theory [MPT] the index value or price can move within an EBV zone with no real consequence. However when a transit occurs – index value or price crosses one of our parallel lines – an EBV line, either positive or negative this gives Model Price users a signal that fundamentals are improving or deteriorating, respectfully.
Having another look at our long-term model price chart of the S&P 500 Index.
I haven’t published our long-term model price chart for a while, so let’s have a look.
S&P 500 Index with monthly price bars and EBV Lines (colored lines).
As you can appreciate this long-term chart highlighting monthly price bars doesn’t change very often however I find this chart interesting to look at every once and a while.
What I like to draw your attention to are points ‘A’ and ‘B’ that I have annotated on the above chart. Roughly between 2002 and 2007, 5 years, the S&P 500 Index travelled along EBV+4, finding price support and resistance, along our calculated EBV Line.
Could this happen again?
Absolutely! Investors should consider all possibilities and probable market outcomes including the possibly of the slow upward gird. Less thrilling and won’t sell financial news impressions (‘clicks’) or link-bait but very profitable for investors who are long equities.
Is EBV+4 exceedingly expensive in terms of valuation?
Not really! Certainly the S&P 500 Index travelled this path before with higher interest rates and the US in the middle of raging two very unpopular wars – viewed in hindsight.
Were there scary moments over those 5 years – between 2002 and 2007 – that investors worried about holding equities? Again, I’m sure there were but the market still barreled forward in terms of gains, matching the compounding of book value of companies, included in the S&P 500, but not increasing the valuation of the overall market.
During this time period 2002 and 2007 the US dollar was in general moribund. The ‘action’ or money flows was directed to commodity countries (Canada and Australia) and of course the BRICs. Currently, with positive US dollar fundamentals this ‘tide’ will lift all boats, if you will. Economic fundamentals will count, of course, but money flows will help companies not only maintain valuations but also help during periods of economic and industrial rotations and/or dislocations. In other words, market corrections should be shallower and brief.
I don’t know if it’s me but the financial stuff I’m reading on the Internet is unusually bearish. And as I preface this blog even I get bogged down in the negativism that seems to be everywhere. But don’t be fooled, money flows into the US dollar are now positive – the tide is coming in! This very important and infrequent occurrence will help support the market’s valuation and may help increase valuations, maybe to EBV+5, as our global economic issues dissipate as national governments and central bankers adjust to new economic realities.
There are now millions of financial websites and I’m guessing here but most seem to be negative in orientation. Everyone viewing these sites on a regular basis can get caught up in their own ‘echo chamber’ of regular and recurring negative news even in good equity markets!
For me, this endless series of bad news and market factoids not only clutters up my thought process and at worst a major time waster. But sometimes, like over Christmas vacation, one does, and I did, take a peek to see what’s out there – guilty, your honor! Thank goodness for MPT [Model Price Theory]. At least I (and you) can run back to a world we have created that valuation of equities make rational and economic sense. | <urn:uuid:d6e425c7-358b-47af-a978-900081a1d0ba> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://modelprice.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/january-2015-sp-500-market-strategy-update/ | 2017-05-29T19:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612537.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529184559-20170529204559-00178.warc.gz | en | 0.939314 | 1,623 |
