-{"text": "*sigh* Fundamentalist community, let me pass on some advice to you I learned from the atheistic community:\nIf you have set yourself on fire, do not run.\nOkay? Okay?? Please?\nLook, D, you had two months to say to Harvard in private emails, \"Im sorry, I shouldnt have been using that animation in my paid presentations. I wont use it again. I really do like 'Inner Life', though, and would love to use it in classroom presentations, from the BioVisions site, if that is acceptable.\"\nI sat here, for two months, waiting for that to happen, anything to happen, and it didnt. Two months, on your own terms, you could have written a similar post to yesterdays. I would have given you the benefit of the doubt-- maybe you didnt know the credits werent visible to the audience, and I wouldnt have said a word beyond this, as its Harvards problem, not mine. This would have been a funny joke to those of us involved in dealing with you people, but it would have been a PR non-issue for you.\nBut after you set yourself on fire, you didnt douse it out with a bucket of ice cold reality and accountability. You ran. And youre still running.\nWhy not just state \"I screwed up. Sorry everyone.\" and move on? Why the excuses? Why the denial? Why the passive language? Why the vague words and cryptic capitalizations? Why the writes and rewrites of your 'press release'? We know it wasnt written of your own volition, or it would have been done *before* Harvard had to take action. And, your behavior before this, regarding this issue, is not indicative of someone who made an innocent mistake. Its weird.\nSo what with this frantic running? Is the inability to say \"I was wrong\" a pathological feature of Creationists? Or are you hiding something? Or is it both? Or is it more?\nAnd now we get Casey weighing in on the issue, according to cre8id at AboveTopSecret.com-- PBS/NOVA online - Intelligent Design on trial:\n...to my knowledge, Discovery Institute has neither authorized nor received nor is making use of any presentation that used that animation. We have had nothing to do with creating or selling a DVD of that animation, nor do we have anything to do with placing that presentation on Google Video.I dont know what he is talking about with that last part, but the first part sounds similar to DIs claims post-Dover (\"WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DOVER!\"). Maybe Luskin is telling the truth. Maybe this was a magic non-science Creation-friendly narration with convenient edits that AiG or ICR would have killed for... but only Dembski could find it... but he cant tell us where... and he didnt share it with anyone... and its subsequently disappeared from the Internet...\nBut that simply isnt what Ive been told. Maybe this was all a silly Dembski mistake, blown out of proportion due to his decision to remain silent... But what if we find more videos of more DI fellows, presenting this animation?\n*shrug* If youve set yourself on fire, do not run, DI.

-{"text": "Free the Cans! Working Together to Reduce Waste\nIn a blog about how people share, it’s worth the occasional reference to the bizarre ways that people DON’T SHARE. Is it safe to say we live in a society that places great value on independence, private property, personal space, and privacy? Even sometimes extreme value? Is that why people at an 8-unit apartment building in Oakland, CA have separate caged stalls for eight separate trash cans? I know it’s not nice to stare, but I walked by these incarcerated cans and could not help myself. I returned with my camera, so that I could share my question with the world: Why can’t people share trash cans or a single dumpster? Or, at the very least, why can’t the cans share driveway space?\nThe Zero Waste Movement has come to the Bay Area and it calls for a new use for these eight cages. Here are my suggestions:\n- Turn two of those cages into compost bins. Fill one with grass, leaves, and vegetable scraps, let it decompose for six months, then start filling the second bin in the meantime.\n- Put in a green can, which is what Oakland uses to collect milk cartons, pizza boxes, yard trimmings, and all food to send it to the municipal composting facility. If your city doesn’t do this yet, tell them it’s a great idea and they could be as cool and cutting edge as Oakland.\n- Put in one or two recycling cans for glass, plastic, cardboard, paper, aluminum, etc.\n- Put out a FREE STUFF box for unwanted clothing and household items. The neighbors could sort through it each week, and later put it out on the curb for passers-by to explore. Take what’s left to Goodwill or a comparable donation spot.\n- Put in a few small bins for various items that can be recycled, such asbatteries and electronics, which can then be taken to an electronics recycling center every month or two. Styrofoam can be brought to a local packaging store or ceramics business that accepts used packaging material. Or, if you accumulate a bunch of plastic bags,take them to a store or to some other place that accepts used ones.\n- Put in ONE trash can. By the time you compost, recycle, re-use, redistribute, and take a few other measures to reduce your waste, you’ll have almost no trash each week.\n- Install a bicycle rack or locked bicycle cage.\n- With the leftover space, put in a container garden and a bench where neighbors can gather and chat. A much more pleasant alternative to the garbage can jailhouse ambiance, wouldn’t you agree?", "char_count": 2467, "token_count": 616, "k_exact": 2.4172, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8623, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "ORLANDO, Fla. — While the Rapid Recall Exchange, the 2-year-old industry recall portal, has signed up more than 600 manufacturer and retailer subscribers, it still lacks the “critical mass” of suppliers that would make it a primary source of recall information, according to trade association officials and retailers.\nManufacturers use the exchange to communicate timely and accurate product recall and withdrawal notifications to retailer and wholesaler headquarters, which in turn share the information with individual stores. The exchange's retail membership represents 85% of U.S. grocery volume — including 21 of the 24 largest supermarket chains based in the United States — but it still lacks key suppliers, especially in the fresh food sectors, said Pat Walsh, senior vice president, industry relations, education and research for Food Marketing Institute, Arlington, Va.\n“We have good penetration [among manufacturers] on the dry grocery side — though it needs to be better — and need to expand in other fresh food verticals like meat, produce, deli and bakery,” said Walsh, who participated in a session on the RRE at the U Connect Live conference here earlier this month.\nMajor food distributors in the exchange, including Kroger, Wegmans and Wakefern, have recently sent letters to their vendors explaining that the only way they will accept recall information is via the RRE, noted Brian Lynch, senior director of business and industry development for the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Washington, who also participated in the U Connect Live session. In an April letter posted on www.rapidrecallexchange.org, Kroger asked all of its suppliers to subscribe to the exchange by July 1.\nMichael Roberson, director of corporate quality assurance for Publix Super Markets, Lakeland, Fla., said in the U Connect Live session that the chain is “disappointed” in the number of manufacturers using the Rapid Recall Exchange.\n“Only 222 of our grocery suppliers are signed up, and more than 1,000 have not yet joined,” Roberson said. “We need to have the entire food industry collaborating on the Rapid Recall Exchange.”\nLast year, of the 300 recalls Publix experienced, fewer than 50 went through the RRE, he said, adding that industrywide only 15% of recalls were submitted to the RRE. A total of 65 recalls have been issued through the exchange industrywide since its September 2009 launch.\nFor recalls that went through the RRE at Publix, Roberson observed “the absolute excellence in the information that was communicated,” including product GTINs (global trade identification numbers), the reason for the recall, and photos. “If we get this information from our trading partners using RRE, then we eliminate most of the [internal] steps because everything works together through this tool,” he said. By contrast, for recalls that don't go through the RRE, “nine times out of 10 we're going back to trading partners and seeking out additional information.”\nPublix has been proactive in urging manufacturers to join the exchange, Roberson said. In addition, Publix has expanded its supplier scorecard to monitor and rank suppliers on whether they leverage the RRE.\nThe RRE was created by FMI and GS1 US, Lawrenceville, N.J., which will be issuing a new version of the exchange, 2.3, in August.", "char_count": 3303, "token_count": 825, "k_exact": 3.6611, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.865, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Augustana finished second with 55 points while Wisconsin-Whitewater, the seventh ranked team in regional poll, placed third with 88 points. Olivet Nazarene took fourth (138), Truman State was fifth (150) and Greenville placed sixth (263).\nThe field also included a couple of ranked teams in the Division III Central Regional poll. Cornell College, ranked ninth, finished tenth in the team scores with 307 points. Grinnell, the number one ranked team in the Central region, finished 16th with 415 points.\nBowman led the way for Augustana with with a fourth place finish and a time of 25:10 over the 8,000 meter course. The Vikings had ten runners run a time of 26:01 or faster. Tim Thornburg of Wisconsin-Stevens Point won the individual race with a time of 24:58 while teammates Terry Witkowski and Joel Heroux finished second and third with times of 25:00 and 25:10, respectively.\nEarlier this year, Bowman finished second overall at the Western Illinois Invitational in a time of 26:11 leading the Vikings to a team victory over a field that included Western Illinois, a Division I school. The next week Bowman was the second Viking runner to cross the line at the Illinois Intercollegiate Championships. He finished in a time of 25:49, which was good for a 26th place finish in a field made up of the top college runners in the state of Illinois.\nAugustana, which has only lost to two NCAA Division III schools this year –North Central at the Illinois Intercollegiate meet on September 17 and this past week to Wisconsin-Stevens Point at the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational on September 24 – will have a weekend off before they head to Waverly, Iowa to run at the Wartburg Invite on Saturday, October 9.\nBowman, the son of Gary Bowman of Geneva, Illinois and Linda Bowman of Elburn, Illinois, is an art history major.", "char_count": 2744, "token_count": 686, "k_exact": 2.3992, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8711, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

With the economy recovering, about half the nation's states are dealing with reduced federal funding, forcing them to make staffing changes.\nAlso, President Obama's 2009 stimulus act doled out even more money to help cover states' increased unemployment benefits caseloads. But those funds have pretty much dried up.\nSo even states where the jobless rates are still high are forced to make changes.\nIn California, which has the nation's third-highest unemployment rate at 10.7%, the state has shifted unemployment workers to disability insurance and tax processing after losing federal support.\nRhode Island, meanwhile, laid off 65 workers, most of them on temporary assignment, after running out of stimulus funds. This comes even as the state still battles a 10.9% unemployment rate, the second-highest in the nation.\nThe state would need $4.6 million to keep them on for another year, said Laura Hart, spokeswoman for the Department of Labor and Training.\n|Apple set for showdown on Capitol Hill over corporate taxes|\n|Tesla's fight with America's car dealers|\n|Why I'm protesting against Gap over Bangladesh|\n|The biggest merger you didn't hear about today|\n|Overnight Avg Rate||Latest||Change||Last Week|\n|30 yr fixed||3.67%||3.62%|\n|15 yr fixed||2.80%||2.76%|\n|30 yr refi||3.65%||3.61%|\n|15 yr refi||2.80%||2.76%|\nToday's featured rates:\n|Latest Report||Next Update|\n|Home prices||Aug 28|\n|Consumer confidence||Aug 28|\n|Manufacturing (ISM)||Sept 4|\n|Inflation (CPI)||Sept 14|\n|Retail sales||Sept 14|", "char_count": 2804, "token_count": 701, "k_exact": 1.7412, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7433, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "A week ago, talk about Nebraska's running game centered on its stable of talented running backs. Now, you have to throw the quarterback into the mix as well. After redshirt freshman Taylor Martinez gashed Western Kentucky for 127 yards and three touchdowns on just seven carries last Saturday, the Huskers' ground attack became even more dangerous that it already was to begin with.\nConsidering NU faces an Idaho defense that gave up 148 rushing yards to I-AA North Dakota last week, Martinez and backs Roy Helu, Rex Burkhead and Dontrayevous Robinson should once again put up some big numbers on the ground this week.\nNU Pass Offense vs UI Pass Defense\nWith Martinez getting the start once again today, it will be interesting to see if he's able to do a little more through the air against a Vandal defense that ranked 116th nationally in pass defense last season. Last week, Martinez completed some nice passes, but he also got away with some risky throws that arguably should have been picked off.\nIdaho held North Dakota to just 122 passing yards and picked off two passes last week, but then again, it was against North Dakota. Nebraska's wide receivers will be some of the biggest the Vandals' secondary will face all season, and there's really no reason why the Huskers can't be a little more aggressive against such a physically inferior defensive backfield.\nUI Rush Offense vs NU Rush Defense\nThe 155 yards and a touchdown Western Kentucky's Bobby Rainey put up against Nebraska last week were definitely reasons for concern, especially considering NU didn't give up that many yards against any of the talented backs it faced all last season. However, the players and coaches have insisted Rainey's big day was more a result of communication and alignment issues on their part and not because they were physically beaten up front.\nThe good news for the Husker defense is that Idaho doesn't present nearly the challenge WKU was in the run game. Sure, they rushed for nearly 150 yards and three touchdowns against UND, but the Vandals still lost four starting offensive linemen from last season, and their pass-first mentality doesn't necessarily do much for the running game either. Also, word is that sophomore Eric Martin will get the start at linebacker over Alonzo Whaley, so NU should be even more physical against the run.\nUI Pass Offense vs NU Pass Defense\nIf there's one area where Nebraska should genuinely be concerned about going into today's game, it's how they're going to handle Idaho's explosive passing attack led by quarterback Nathan Enderle. The Huskers' secondary is considered one of the biggest strengths of the defense, but it certainly wasn't tested much at all last week.\nThat definitely won't be the case today, as there's no doubt that the Vandals will come out slinging the ball all over the place. Enderle and Co. passed for 399 yards and three touchdowns last week, but the passing game definitely wasn't perfect. North Dakota racked up four sacks in the first half alone and also added an interception.\nSpecial Teams, What If's and The X-Factor\nAs usual, Nebraska gets the edge on special teams primarily because of senior kicker/punter Alex Henery and punt returner Niles Paul. Henery didn't really have to do much last week, and Paul came oh-so-close to breaking a couple of punt returns. In addition, kickoff specialist Adi Kunalic and kickoff returner Tim Marlowe did excellent jobs. Kunalic put two kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks, and Marlowe averaged 34.5 yards per return. Idaho return man Justin Veltung is a threat on kick returns, but Kunalic should be able to make him a non-factor.\nNebraska Will Win If:\nIt continues to dominate in the run game and finds a way to put pressure on Enderle all game. Though Idaho's offensive line weighs in at an average of roughly 340 pounds, Nebraska's defensive line is much faster and more athletic, and it should be able to put some serious heat on Enderle and at least throw him off his rhythm. And if Martinez pulls off another performance like he did last week, then it's pretty much game over right there.\nIdaho Will Win If:\nIt can force Nebraska to pass the ball and create some turnovers while also putting up some points through the air. Enderle is one of the better quarterbacks in the country right now, and if he can get enough time in the pocket to go through his reads he should be able to find some holes in NU's coverage, especially considering the inexperience at linebacker and safety.\nThere's no question that the one element Nebraska has that Idaho doesn't is a natural playmaker like Martinez. What he lacks in experience and his sometimes questionable decision making he more than makes up for with the ability to score every time he takes a snap. Add in Idaho's recent defensive struggles, and Martinez could be in for another highlight reel performance, which will only further separate himself from the rest of the pack as clear cut starter at quarterback.", "char_count": 4977, "token_count": 1244, "k_exact": 3.3226, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9181, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Amazon.com (AMZN) will have a difficult time meeting analyst expectations this quarter given its several significant headwinds. The two most prominent headwinds relate to revenue, namely the imposition of state sales taxes on Amazon e-commerce revenue and the large increase in federal taxes impacting consumer demand. There is another additional key headwind that is rarely discussed in relation to Amazon, but has and will continue to have a significant impact on operating income - the price of gasoline. While it should be no surprise that gasoline impacts shipping costs, this article enables the reader to accurately predict the impact of gasoline price changes on gross margin, operating income and earnings per share.\nWhile Amazon is quite stingy in the investment information it releases to investors (missing are tablet units, impact of sales tax, streaming users, 3P total merchandise value, AWS COGS, etc…), they do let us know their gross and net shipping expenses. Figure 1 charts gross shipping expense as a percentage of e-commerce revenue against average US gasoline prices in the quarter (regular unleaded, average of all formulations and areas). The chart illustrates that shipping expense had increased steadily from about 7.5% of revenue to 8.6% - 8.9% during 2012. This occurred while Amazon was spending billions of capital on tens of new fulfillment centers closer to the customer to reduce shipping expenses. In order to understand this divergence, I dug a little deeper to determine what is driving the much faster than revenue increases in shipping expense even as shipping distances are being reduced.\nFigure 1: Amazon Gross Shipping Cost as a % of E-Commerce Revenue and Average US Gasoline Prices\nThrough regression analysis of Amazon and government data, I built a shipping expense growth model that demonstrates high correlation to two obvious independent variables: The price of gasoline and what Amazon refers to as \"Paid Units Sold\" (Amazon defines \"Paid Units Sold\" as \"physical and digital units sold\" that \"are paid units and do not include units associated with certain acquisitions, rental businesses, web services or advertising businesses, or Amazon gift certificates\"). The Coefficient of Determination (R2) of this regression was a convincing 0.98, displaying that these two variables alone account for the variation in shipping expense growth. As a note, I thought paid unit growth of 1P units only would be a better predictor as not all 3P units are shipped by Amazon, but the total paid units had a better R2, so I stuck with that.\nWhat does the Statistical Analysis Tell Us?\nHere is the key takeaway: Every 2% increase in gasoline price reduces Amazon's overall gross margin by 10 basis points (BPS). At $16 billion in revenue, every 10 bps of margin reduction results in a $16 million reduction in operating income, or about 2.5¢ in earnings per share reduction. While 10 bps may not sound like a lot, 2.5¢ represents 28% of the analysts $0.09 consensus estimate for Q1. So a minor 2% shift up in gasoline costs can shift earnings lower by 28% in Q1.\nLet's look at this in the wider context of future earnings potential. Amazon bulls like to point to 2009 Q4 as a shining example of Amazon profit potential as they achieved 4.0% net margin and $0.85 per share of earnings. They claim that once all of the current investments subside, Amazon will either return to or exceed those peak margin levels on much higher revenue. Here is a dose of reality for the bulls: If gasoline prices per gallon in 2009 Q4 were what it is today, Amazon would have earned a measly $0.02 per share instead of $0.85! That means given today's energy environment Amazon faces nearly 4.0% net margin headwinds from its prior peak performance.\nHas The Fulfillment Center Build Out Strategy Had Any Positive Impact At All?\nThere is one other interesting result of the analysis to note: the model generated an additive constant term of negative 8.8%. That means that with zero unit growth and no gasoline price change, Amazon shipping expense would shrink by 8.8% Y/Y. This is the positive impact of the distributed fulfillment center strategy and is already baked into the current numbers - you just can't see it in Amazon's financial results due to higher gasoline prices and much higher unit shipments than revenue growth over the past four years. The end result is that although Amazon management recognized they need to do something to stem these two major headwinds, they have only lost ground. While they have increased fulfillment expense as a percentage of revenue by 270 bps, shipping expense has increased 120 bps as a percentage of revenue, thus reducing net margin by 400 bps over the past four years. Based on these trends it seems Amazon will need to continue to invest heavily in fulfillment expenses over the next several years just to return to 2009 shipping expense percentage levels of e-commerce revenue.\nIs There Hope For Gasoline Prices to Return to 2009 Levels?\nThis is highly unlikely as the global financial crisis scared the energy markets into a severe dip (60% drop) at the end of 2008/early 2009. Gasoline prices have begun an exponential run up over the past few weeks and have well surpassed both the prior quarter and year ago quarter's level seven weeks into the quarter (Figure 2). Oil prices tend to lead gasoline prices by 4 to 6 weeks, so look for gasoline prices to continue to rise significantly into the end of Q1 to near all-time high levels ($4.11/gal) as oil continues to print new 9-month highs. That could mean all time high shipping expense as a percentage of e-commerce revenue for Amazon in Q2. The current White House Administration's tough policy approach on fossil fuels coupled with the Fed's QE infinity program should continue to pressure oil prices higher through at least 2015, leading me to wonder why Amazon is considered a \"risk-on\" trade with its strong inverse earnings sensitivity to oil prices. Not only does an increase in gasoline cost increase Amazon's shipping expense, it also lowers consumer's discretionary income, thus providing an additional headwind to revenue - a true double whammy.\nFigure 2: Weekly US Gasoline Prices for Q/Q and Y/Y Comparisons\nCore to Amazon's value proposition is the convenience of shipping product directly to your door. That service currently reduces operating margin by 870 bps (up from 750 bps three years ago) and is directly correlated to the cost of gasoline. For every 2% increase in gasoline cost, Amazon gross margin declines by 10 bps. This relation has reduced Amazon net margin by 400 bps to zero over the last four years. While spending billions on new distributed fulfillment centers has attempted to reduce the impact of soaring gasoline prices, shipping expenses as a percentage of e-commerce revenue continues to climb as Amazon paid units shipped far outpace revenue growth and gasoline price increases continue to override any Amazon efficiency gains. In the current money printing and political environment, energy costs are skyrocketing, thus having a direct and meaningful impact on Amazon profit potential for 2013 and beyond.\nNote: Additional information on the model, data and analysis can be made available through my consulting practice.\nDisclosure: I am short AMZN.", "char_count": 7313, "token_count": 1828, "k_exact": 3.2788, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9182, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The state's special antlerless deer season is just around the corner. Scheduled for Dec. 22-24 and Dec. 29-31, these opportunities allow hunters to harvest does outside their combined season limit.\nAccording to Mike Shaw, wildlife research supervisor for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, hunters across the state have already harvested 104,346 deer in 2006, surpassing the previous record of 102,100 deer taken in 2000. That total stands to increase with the remainder of archery and special antlerless seasons still to go. Shaw said other factors will raise the numbers as well, such as final counts from controlled hunts and Deer Management Assistance Program cooperators.\nShaw said a number of circumstances have led to the record harvest, such as the good hunting weather and peak rutting times that fell right in line with this year's rifle season.\nBut even with the record numbers, Shaw encourages hunters to participate in the special three-day antlerless hunts.\n\"We need to really focus on increasing the number of antlerless deer harvested, especially in areas that have less desirable buck-to-doe ratios,\" Shaw said. \"And participating in the special antlerless deer season would be an excellent way to do that.\"\nThe first three-day period of the special antlerless season will be limited to the northcentral and northwestern portions of the state, excluding most of the panhandle.

Sandy Hook faculty will report that day to their new location at Chalk Hill School in Monroe to meet and reorganize, followed by an afternoon open house at which teachers, students and parents can reunite.\nChalk Hill has been made over to replicate Sandy Hook Elementary as it was before the shooting of Dec. 14, when 20 students and six educators at the school were killed, including Principal Dawn Hochsprung.\n\"In one room I visited (at Chalk Hill School), the children's pens and pencils are on the desks, their coats behind their chairs,'' said board member John Vouros, a retired Newtown teacher. \"It's as if time stood still.''\nSchools Superintendent Janet Robinson announced last week that based on teachers' requests, she opted for a soft opening at Chalk Hill on the first day after the holiday break, with instruction to resume on Jan. 3.\nRobinson agreed that teachers need time alone to reassemble as a staff. They will be lead by former Principal Donna Page on a temporary basis. The teachers also wanted time to greet and assure children and parents that they are safe as school begins anew.\nOn Wednesday, Robinson said some Sandy Hook families have already walked through Chalk Hill School, and that has provided some \"comfort'' that the school will be ready for instruction and be safe. Extra security will be on duty, Robinson said.\nThe timing of the shooting, just before the holiday break, left teachers without time to do much more than attend funerals for their students and staff, Robinson said.\n\"It's been overwhelming,'' she said. \"They need a chance to be together and organize themselves.''\nOnce staff and students are back to their routine academic schedule, Robinson said, the healing can truly begin.\n\"Children are amazingly resilient, more than we are as adults,'' she said.\nRobinson said she said she is proud of all the \"heroes'' in her district who did that horrid Friday what they pledge to do every day -- take care of their students.\n\"The talk of heroism, this is not mythology,'' Robinson said. \"They were doing what teachers would do to protect their children.''\nIn time, Robinson said, she hopes the school will erect a mural or a quilt of some kind as a memorial.\nAs for Sandy Hook Elementary School's future, Robinson said she expects a community conversation on that topic to begin shortly.\n\"That will be a town decision,'' she said.", "char_count": 2630, "token_count": 657, "k_exact": 2.0353, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8112, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

But we got through the game with no injuries and we got the win.\"\nThey had the win after the first period, in which they outshot Denmark 19-3 and built a 4-0 lead, but there were, unfortunately, two more periods to play, which can best be described as a half-interested cat pawing at a half-dead mouse.\n\"Maybe not our toughest competition,\" understated Ryan Strome. \"But we have to continually strive to be better. None of the games are getting easier from here on in so we have to keep getting better ourselves.\"\nThey'd have to play corpses for the next game to be any easier, but all you can do is play who they put in front of you and the Canadians are 3-0 so far, having beaten Finland 8-1 and the Czech Republic 5-0 for a 23-2 margin of victory so far.\nThree straight blowouts might not be the best way to prepare for the biggest games of their lives, but what can you do?\n\"People can look at it however they want, but we've been tested,\" said Brett Connolly. \"The Finns were a great team, the Czechs gave us a good battle, too. We're a good team.\"\nAfter scoring more goals in the first (four) than Denmark had shots (three), Canada eased up in the second but still managed to score its fifth, sixth and seventh goals of the night.\nAnd that was it, the other team was Dane like dinner.\n\"It was a tough one for Denmark, coming up from the B pool,\" said winger Boone Jenner. \"But we just tried to keep playing our game, just play simple hockey.\"\n\"It's not like we were trying to run up the score,\" added forward Brendan Gallagher. \"We've been on the other side of those, all of us have, and it's not a good feeling.\"\nThe Canadians spent the third period trying not to get injured and that was all the opening Denmark needed to strike back. Nicolai Meyer sniped one past Mark Visentin to break the shutout and eight minutes later Emil Kristensen added a second Danish goal.\nAt that point, Canada got serious again and scored its eighth and ninth and 10th.\n\"We knew on the bench that we had to get back to work,\" said Gallagher. \"We were a little sluggish and they took advantage of us. They didn't stop working for the whole game. We just went back to the things that made us successful and were able to score some more goals.\"\nSo the Canadians are 3-0 so far, with one game left in the round robin -- a New Year's Eve date with the Americans that could either be for first place in the pool, or rendered entirely meaningless if the U.S. loses to the Czech Republic on Friday.\n\"We'll be ready to roll on New Year's Eve,\" said Jenner. \"It should be a fun game to play in, and a competitive one.\"\nFor a change.", "char_count": 3431, "token_count": 857, "k_exact": 2.3625, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8473, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "It’s Time to Panic — The Great Chicken Wing Shortage May Wreak Havoc with Your Super Bowl Plans\nOkay, America. We have some news that will profoundly affect how you watch the Super Bowl. Brace yourself.\nNo, scientists still haven’t figured out a way to teleport you there under the cloak of invisibility, so you still need a ticket.\nIt turns out a shortage of chicken wings may be on the horizon\nWhat the cluck is that about? That’s like playing a Super Bowl without a football.\nBefore you go loco, keep in mind the very fake-sounding, but very much real National Chicken Council chimed in to explain the reason behind this biggest national disaster not involving the name Manti Te’o. And while the economics behind it are more convoluted than the 49ers defensive scheme, it comes down to this:\n“Demand for wings this year is at ‘an all-time high’ due to decreased wing production caused by the high cost of corn and feed prices. Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast, up 12 percent from last year.”\nThe council says 1.23 billion wing segments – they don’t sound as tasty when called “segments” do they? — will be wolfed down during this year’s big game, about 12.3 fewer than we gobbled up last year when the New York Giants managed to wipe the smirk off Bill Belichick’s face.\nShort of Beyoncé deciding to lip sync (again!) during halftime, this may be the most scandalous thing to hit this year’s game. The Super Bowl is the second biggest day for food during the year, trailing only Thanksgiving, and wings are the most consumed item on this most sacred of Sundays.\nA spokesman for the National Chicken Council did manage to alleviate everyone’s worst fear, though, by saying wings will be available. He added that although they may cost a bit more, “The good news for consumers is that restaurants plan well in advance to ensure they have plenty of wings for the big game.” Phew. Bullet dodged.\nGood to know because without wings, we’d be left only to eat pizza. And sliders. And Doritos. And M&Ms. And pigs in a blanket. And fried chicken. And subs.

Bergeron might figure it out. Hejda may be a player. One of Smid, Gilbert, Syvret or Young may be ready.

Problem is the guy I like, Rafalski, has an expensive number on his contract and I'm not sure if Matvichuk or Lukowich add much more then what we have.\nSo, why the Plager brothers up above? Because while the Blues may have, in some estimations (Lowetide again and Mudcrutch as well) have had a nice summer, I think they aren't even close to being back.

Only Detroit, Jersey and Dallas are older.\nAnd they have three young Dmen - Brewer, Backman and Jackman.\nCould we pry either of the latter two away for a young forward or two?

If you can mark it on a map, then this is the place to talk about it.\nThere are some really cool places in the world that I'd love to see synths of, but for lack of time and money haven't been able to make it to (yet). Here's my list. What about other people, what would you like to see?\n• Shiptons Arch, China\n• Angel Falls, Venezuela\n• Nazca lines, Peru\n• Bungle Bungles, Australia\n• some bones in dinosaur national monument, Colorado/Utah\n• Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe/Zambia\n• K2/Baltoro Glacier, Pakistan http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=35.759607~76.548615&style=h&lvl=11&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&cam=-54.055532~-37.330167&scene=-1&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1\n• Deer Cave, Malaysia\nThe Ice Hotel!\n[Insert large cavern system here] preferably shot both as a walk-through (and back!) but also as panoramics in areas of interest so we get lots of donuts.\nAnother one high on my list would be an aerial synth of the Grand Canyon, preferably done about 200' below the altitude of the rim so you're down in it the whole way. Ideally, photograph it using a hemispherical array of cameras all synchronized to a single shutter control so you get instant donuts every time an exposure is taken.\nBut you know what would be tops on my list? For the Mars rover teams to submit their pictures as massive synths. MWAHAHAHAHAHAA! I'd love to boldly go where no man has gone before. Ok, so little wheeled robots have, but...\nI realize I'm posting things that aren't likely to be picked up by someone local to the place who says, \"Sure! That's easy enough!\" but these really are the places I'd love to see synthed.\nHow about New Zealand. Not exciting? I'm talking about someone Synth'ing their Bungie trip from the walk up, to the jump off, the way down, and the bounce back up.\nThat camera had better be strapped onto their helmet...\nFracture - this thread was meant to be list of all the places in the world we'd like to see a synth of where we currently don't have one. We actually have OK coverage of NZ, but havent seen any taken while bungie jumping. That would be fairly cool, skydiving as well.\nCan you guys think of any more places/situtation we need synths of?\nSon Doong Cave In Vietnam\nWhile I was replying to a thread about collaborative synths, this came to mind:\nI know Photosynth won't synth water, but a closer statement would be that it won't synth the water's surface. Underwater there are loads of fixed points to tie images together. Soooo...\nI'd love to see a synth of a coral reef. That would be a BLAST.\nEven better, I'd love to figure out a way to tie the below-water images to the above-water shots and have someone on the reef and someone else on shore doing a collaborative synth. You'd be able to \"stand on the beach\" at the beginning of the synth, and \"dive underwater\" to see the reef.\n(Oh PLEEEEZE tell me someone is interested in doing this! I don't have an underwater housing on my camera!!)\nI think Tom's onto something here. I think the transition from above water to below water would be the absolute hardest part, but I too would LOVE to see this.\nA good polarizer and a really careful choice of angles might work. I've had underwater features show up in a couple of synths I've done this way. It might be enough to tie the two, though the other direction would be a LOT harder.\n(Anyone on the Big Island with an underwater housing for their camera? I'll do the dry-land photography!)\nCave systems in halong bay/Cat Ba island Vietnam would fit your suggestion TBenedict, and I'd love to see them\nhttp://images.google.com/images?q=halong bay cave system&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7HPEA_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi\nAlso synths of reefs.. excellent idea. There are a huge team of underwater photographers in Egypt and some awesome dive sites I'm sure the Devs here could fire off some emails to camel divers & they could use it for promo work ;) ;) One possiblility would be the use of a glass bottom boat to ease the transition from land to water?\nI'd particularly like to see some underwater wrecks, starting underwater at the boat near a shallow reef and descending down. Some well phrased emails would definately start off a few clusters of this type of synth!\nAny series of photos from space... The saturn mission has some good stuff going around Titan - their pictures are already in the public domain as well, I reckon they might be up for some synthing..\nI honestly think you're right, the above/below beach/reef synth should ideally be done by underwater photographers.\nI REALLY like the idea of the glass bottomed boat for the transition. That or something similar on a smaller scale.\nI'm still interested in doing this, but I hope an honest to goodness underwater photographer beats me to it. It will be far better done.\nYour mention of space synths (of which I think NASA has done several) gave me an idea... I'll try to get this one done later in the week (time permitting.)\nOkay, I'm now obsessed with large scale underwater reef synthing... Underwater photography is tough, normally holiday divers don't have the equipment to balance the red shift (deeper water has less blue light) it's a pain to have to add/remove coloured slides for every photo.. (sorry--going off topic there)\nI emailed one dive centre in Sharm el Sheik but they haven't responded so I have sent emails out to dive centres I have worked at in the past suggesting they make a synth map a part of their dive master/master scuba diver course or make a synth to use for promos, there are centres where professionals dive the same reefs month in month out, 20 photos per dive, 70 dives per month... Anyways, I'll let you know if I get any success synth fishing :D\nAlso, to return to the thread topic - I'd love to see a synth from the front of a train, some rapid fire photos might do the trick from trains both ways?\n*deeper water has less red light... doh!\nGlad to see you taking point on this, Mister_Blondie! I don't even qualify as a holiday diver, and my equipment is nil. I really like the direction you're taking with that, especially the idea of using photos from centers where professionals are in there all the time. I'd really like to see how that turns out!\nI don't know about the front of a train, but a while back Darius posted a link to a \"drive through\" synth where someone was taking pictures from inside a car, coming and going. The technique works quite well. At the speeds most trains go, though, you might need a pretty high frame rate to pull that off. Glad you thought of doing it both ways. For the viewer to be able to turn around and go back, that's essential.\nNo dice on the space synth I hoped to do this week. I'll have another chance next week, so I'll give it another go then.\nA sculpture park. A whole big sculpture park...\nHere's an fantastic attempt at a sculpture park: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=97153326-97b4-4df7-ba8d-aaf9851fa34d\nThis is pushing the upper limit of the synther as it is, so a park larger than this would be very difficult. The overhead view in this one is great.\nawesome, thanks :)\nI'd like to see some Mt Everest base camp synths.\nThis takes a step out of the realm of the real world, but I'd absolutely love to see Michael Chesko's miniature model cities thoroughly synthed.\nHe's worked on models of New York City, but also has a fictional city of his own design, entitled 'Britannica'. I happened to bump into his work on Robyn Miller's blog some time ago and have been hooked on the idea of synthing his models ever since.\nYou can find one of Robyn's Britannica posts here: http://tinselman.typepad.com/tinselman/2008/08/stop-and-smell.html\nUnfreakin'real. I second that, Nathanael. I'd be willing to be there are no small number of photographers who would be ready to jump at the chance.

-{"text": "Was The Race To The Moon Real?; June 1994; Scientific American Magazine; by Logsdon, Dupas; 8 Page(s)\nTwenty-five years ago, on July 20, 1969, Neil A. Armstrong took the first footsteps on the surface of the moon. That event marked a political and technological victory for the U.S. in its cold war rivalry with the U.S.S.R. In the years that followed, the Soviet government insisted that the Soviet Union had never planned a lunar landing. Hence, it argued, the contest to send humans to the moon was a onesided exercise. The reality is otherwise; recently declassified information from that era and testimony of key participants in the Soviet space program under Khrushchev and Brezhnev prove that the moon race was indeed real.\nNew evidence reveals that personal rivalries, shifting political alliances and bureaucratic inefficiencies bred failure and delays within the Soviet lunar-landing program.

-{"text": "HOULTON, Maine — A compliance check recently conducted in Aroostook County to ensure that businesses that sell alcohol are complying with Maine’s liquor laws produced disappointing news, as nearly half of the establishments targeted were cited by police.\nDeputy Kris Malmbourg of the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Department said earlier this week that 33 establishments, including restaurants and stores, around The County were checked for liquor law compliance as part of the Underage Drinking, Adult Consequences campaign. Of those, 13 were summoned for violations.\nAroostook County was selected last month as one of only four sites in the nation to participate in the underage drinking project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.\nCommunity Voices, a countywide organization that works to curb substance abuse among youths, was awarded a $325,000 grant, which it is using to work with 11 law enforcement groups on a pilot project to get alcohol out of the hands of minors.\nMalmbourg said the most recent compliance checks were part of the initiative and are being conducted to reduce the number of underage drinkers and the number of underage drinking and driving fatalities in The County. They also are being conducted to deter those who provide alcohol to youths.\nAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, teens are at far greater risk of death in an alcohol-related crash than the overall population, despite the fact that they are below the minimum drinking age in every state. Thirty one percent of 15- to 20-year-old drivers who were killed in crashes nationally in 2006 had been drinking.\nAccording to Maine’s office of substance abuse, a 2008 statewide survey reported that 48.8 percent of Maine students in grades seven through 12 had tried alcohol. Research also has shown that 40 percent of children who begin drinking before age 15 will develop alcohol abuse or dependence at some point in their lives.\nMalmbourg pointed out that 142 people died in Maine from 2006 to 2010 as a result of a crash involving a 15- to 20-year-old driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.01 or above. In 2010 alone, 22 percent of 15- to 20-year-old drivers involved in traffic fatalities in Maine had a blood alcohol content of 0.01 or above.\n“One careless decision by a young person can end and destroy lives,” Malmborg said. “We know we have more work to do, but if we got across to just one teen who might have otherwise chosen to drink and drive, we’ve accomplished something and hopefully changed lives. And if we’re able to reduce their access to alcohol, that’s tackling the first part of the problem.”\nAlong with the 13 establishments summoned for noncompliance, the additional road patrols in Aroostook resulted in youth transportation and possession of alcohol citations, as well as citations for adults furnishing a place for minors to consume and alcohol for minors to consume. Other violations not alcohol-related were dealt with as a result of the increased patrols, ranging from driving violations to drug violations, according to Malmbourg.\n“Local enforcement officials and community partners came together for this campaign, and we believe it was a tremendous success,” he said. “Hopefully, the teens in our community now know we will not tolerate underage drinking, and just as importantly, the adults and organizations who provide the alcohol know they also face serious consequences.”\nThis is not the first time that compliance checks have revealed that not all County businesses are enforcing the state’s liquor laws. In March 2011, the Sheriff’s Department oversaw an operation that had minors attempt to buy alcohol at 43 businesses stretching from Macwahoc to Fort Kent.\nTwenty-three of the establishments sold alcohol to the minors and were summoned for the violation, according to Sheriff Jim Madore.\nDuring the summer of 2010 in Caribou, the Police Department selected 12 local businesses where alcohol is served.\nFifty percent of the businesses failed the test and sold the minor alcohol, according to Caribou Chief Mike Gahagan.\nGahagan said at the time that he was stunned by the results, especially since the department offers free responsible beverage training to businesses in the city.\nMichelle Plourde Chasse, Community Voices project manager, said Friday afternoon that she also was disappointed with the results. She noted that compliance checks that were conducted in January revealed an almost 50 percent failure rate. That rate is slightly lower this time.\n“I wish there was a magic button because I would push it,” she said. “We will continue to offer training twice a year to businesses in this area and we are going to continue with compliance checks.”\nThe project manager said she believes that it would be helpful to immediately list the names of businesses that were summoned in order to let parents and others know that they were cited. But the names have not been released in the past until the cases were settled in court, and Plourde Chasse did not have the list of businesses that were cited during this round of checks.\nPenalties for the violations can result in a fine, license suspension or both. Fines for stores start at between $550 and $1,500 for a first violation, depending on the number of offenses.\nThe next wave of compliance checks will start this month and the enforcement campaign will continue throughout the year.", "char_count": 5463, "token_count": 1365, "k_exact": 3.5949, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8705, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "|Page (1) of 1 - 07/10/12||email article||print page|\nToday, News Corp. officially announced plans to split into two separate publicly traded companies. One of the companies will focus on News Corp's booming film and television assets, including 20th Century Fox film studio, Fox News Channel, and Fox broadcast news. The other company will include News Corp's publishing assets, such as the Wall Street Journal, The Times of London, and HarperCollins book publishing. The company's publishing assets have struggled recently in the wake of a phone hacking scandal in Great Britain. In News Corp's last quarterly earnings report, entertainment revenues came to $6.2 billion, while publishing assets only brought in $2 billion. Chief Executive Rupert Murodch will serve as chairman of both companies. He will also be CEO for the entertainment-focused company. No word yet on who will serve as CEO on the publishing side, but Murdoch has dismissed fears that the publishing company will not be able to stand on its own. The transaction will take roughly a year to complete. News of the split's possibility caused News Corp shares to rise sharply over the past couple of days. At the moment, however, shares are down slightly 1.52% at $22.07 a share.\n|News Corp Confirms Split|\nSource:GrabNetworks (c).

-{"text": "22 September 2011\nBig changes coming to Facebook: Timeline and verbs\nThe Facebook f8 keynote speech by founder Mark Zuckerberg started about 30 minutes ago. Outside of the first 10 minutes of cheesy jokes by Saturday Night Live comedian Andy Samberg, the rest of the talk has seen Zuckerberg painting a picture of a big new overhaul of profiles called ‘Timeline.’\nTimeline was described by Zuckerberg as: “All of your stories, all of your apps, a new way to express who you are.” It will also integrate with mobile, to create a more seamless user experience from mobile to web. Timeline will be progressively rolled out over the next few months, and will initially look quite bare.\nThe new Facebook Timeline will be more visual and include a ‘Cover’, which is one big image to visually \"express who you are\" – which doesn’t replace the profile picture. Users will also be able to be more easily go back into the archive of content and conversations since they joined Facebook. They will receive weekly or yearly Reports, which will give them a summary of events and activities they have done. The Timeline will also enable a user to Highlight an important event, update or piece of content in order to flag it up on their Timeline.\nFacebook have spent the last year working on the Open Graph protocol, which they believe will make it possible to build a completely new ‘social class’ of apps than ever before.\nThe Open Graph will open up to two additional areas. Currently, its communication, and games and will now open up to media (TV, music, movies, news and books) and lifestyle apps (cooking, eat, emotions, fashion, fitness etc.).\nOne announcement that almost got a round of applause from the audience, was that users can be engaged with an app and never have a pop up again to authorize and ask if they want to share it on their news feed again. With the new integration of Timeline and Apps, it will presume that if you want to use an app that you want to publish it on your Timeline, which is what Zuckerberg is calling a \"frictionless experience.\" Developers will be able to implement the 'add to Timeline' button on through Open Graph straight after f8, which will work immediately across all platforms.\nThe ticker feature also enables you to have a \"serendipitous experience\" with friends, particularly when it comes to music. The founder demonstrated how with Open Graph and music social network Spotify, you can listen along with friends; you see in the ticker feed that your friend is listening to Up, the new single by James Morrison you can simply hover over the alert and listen along. This will also be the case with launch partner, iHeartRadio.\nFacebook has also announced the addition of verbs so you will be able to ‘read a book’ or ‘watch a movie.’\nThere's still a whole day of seminars to go at f8, but I'm off to do some knitting and eat dinner.

-{"text": "Some of us can recall the helpless feeling of being in a vehicle driven by someone who is intoxicated. If you're like me, you don't want to cause a scene unless the driving is really erratic. But there comes a moment when you need to say: Stop the car. You're going to hurt someone. Hand over the keys.\nWe have a political system that is the equivalent of a drunk driver. The primary culprits are the House Republicans. They are so intoxicated with their own ideology that they are ready to drive the nation's car off the road. I don't know if the sequestration that began Friday will produce a little crisis or a big one; the sad fact is that the Republicans don't know either, yet they're still willing to put the country at risk to make a political point.\nI'm no fan of the way President Obama has handled the fiscal crisis. As I've written often, he needs to provide the presidential leadership that leads Congress and the country toward fiscal stability. In my analogy, he should take the steering wheel firmly in hand and drive the car toward the destination where most road maps show we need to be heading — namely, a balanced program of cuts in Social Security and Medicare and modest increases in revenue.\nInstead, Obama has chosen to be co-dependent, as the psychologists say about those who foster the destructive behavior of others. He double-dared the reckless Republicans by proposing the sequester back in 2011. And rather than stepping up to leadership since his re-election, he has triple-dared the GOP hotheads with a partisan inaugural address and weeks of what the Republicans rightly have called a \"road show\" of blame-game politics. Doesn't he see that the GOP is addicted to this showdown at Thunder Road? This is all the power the GOP has these days, really — the ability to scare the heck out of everybody and run the car into the ditch.\nMuch as I would criticize Obama, it's wrong to say that both sides are equally to blame for what's about to hit us. This isn't a one-off case of the Republicans using Obama's sequestration legislation to force reckless budget cuts. It's a pattern of behavior: First the Republicans were prepared to shut down the government and damage the national credit rating with their showdown over the debt ceiling; then they were careening toward the \"fiscal cliff.\" This isn't a legislative tactic anymore, it's an addiction.\nWhere did this recklessness come from? Only a few years ago, George W. Bush was the compassionate conservative and John McCain won the GOP nomination as the Republican who knew how to govern across party lines. What happened to that Republican Party? Today's Republicans seem to suffer from what's sometimes known as Obama Derangement Syndrome, in which their hatred of the president blinds them to the country's interests. To be honest, this malady is eerily similar to the Bush Derangement Syndrome that afflicted Democrats during the previous decade. The Democrats were so incensed back then they stopped caring if America succeeded or failed in Iraq; the Republicans are so angry now that they don't care if the economy goes to hell.\nSo how can we get these incapacitated drivers to stop before they do any more damage? If this were really a case of chronic drinkers, the answer would be an intervention to keep them off the road. In politics, the public gets to intervene through elections. We just had one, and the Republicans lost, big time. Yet it didn't seem to make much difference. The House Republicans are still grabbing for the wheel and the car is rumbling toward trouble.\nObama tries everything to gain control — except a clear, firm presidential statement that speaks to everyone onboard, those who voted for him and those who didn't — that could get the country where it needs to go.\nThe weird thing is that, politics aside, there is every reason to be optimistic about America's future. The country's financial markets are resilient; the housing slump finally seems to be ending; a new era of low-cost shale oil and gas is beginning and, as a result, the U.S. is becoming a competitive manufacturing economy again.\nThere's one ruinously dysfunctional part of the American story, and that's the breakdown of our political system.

-{"text": "Lake Orion, Mich. – Part of defending champion Olin Browne’s preparation for the 2012 U.S. Senior Open will be competing in the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club. In addition to negotiating Olympic’s ubiquitous slopes and confounding doglegs, Browne hopes to be distracted by following the progress of his son, Olin Jr.\n“O” – as Browne calls his son – is attempting to join his father at a U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 4. Several days before the qualifier, dad still didn’t know whether he would go watch.\n“It’s a difficult position to be in,” said the elder Browne at Senior Open Media Day on May 30. “I don’t want to show up and put that kind of heat on him. On the one hand, it’s nice to support for your kid. Whether I’m there or not, he knows that, I love him and support him and I’m pulling for him to do the very best he can.”\nIf the younger Olin qualifies, the Brownes will be the first father-son duo to play together in the U.S. Open since Jay and Bill Haas achieved the rare feat in 2003 and 2004.\n“It would be unbelievable,” said Browne Sr. “He’s thinking about it; he knows I’m thinking about it. He’s got probably a one in 10 chance of making it. So it’s up to him to prepare himself properly. It’s part of the learning process.”\nIf there is anyone who could impart good advice about sectional qualifying, it would be the elder Browne, who shot 59 at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md., to advance to the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.\nQualifying presents one set of challenges; the championship itself offers others. Despite having the type of controlled game that would seem like a perfect fit for the U.S. Open, Browne’s performance in the championship – one top-10 finish in 11 starts – was less successful. He has fared much better since turning 50, and has yet to finish out of the top 10 in three U.S. Senior Opens, capped by last year’s victory.\nThis delayed success is fitting for the late bloomer, who didn’t pick up the game until he was 19. Browne didn’t play his first U.S. Open until he was 35, but has felt comfortable on golf’s biggest stage.\n“Overall, the USGA setup is fairly consistent, in which every facet of the game is a component of good play” said Browne. “You have to drive the ball well, strike irons consistently, control ball flight, play smart and manage your game well. It’s more of a marathon.”\nAfter getting a glimpse of Indianwood Golf & Country Club, the site of the 2012 U.S. Senior Open, Browne came away with a similar sense of comfort that he possessed last year at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.\n“The course is sensational,” said Browne. “I love these kinds of greens that are open in the front.”\nLast year, Browne withheld a charge from Mark O’Meara by playing the final 10 holes in one under. It was the culmination of a journey that began when he was just starting to learn the game at the driving range accompanied by his girlfriend – now wife – and they would daydream about winning the national championship.\n“We’d talk about the U.S. Open,” Browne recalled. “We didn’t talk about the PGA or the Masters or the [British] Open Championship. It was always the last hole of the U.S. Open. That was my reference point.”\nNow that dream has become reality, Browne is relishing his status and basking in the benefits his victory has borne, such as the rare opportunity to potentially share an indelible U.S. Open memory with his son.\n“Here we are, 11 months later, and [the U.S. Senior Open win] still has legs,” said Browne. “It’s a source of great pride and it’s a privilege to be seen as a USGA champion.”\nHunki Yun is a USGA senior staff writer.

-{"text": "You have to admit, trends are unavoidable. Some are so stealthy, maybe even ubiquitous, that it’s hard to tell if something is considered “classic” or if it’s actually trendy.\nSometimes one piece is a classic over the long term, but comes in and out of popularity throughout the years, taking it from something standard to something really trendy and eventually back again.\nOne of the more recent examples I can think of is the Sperry Top-Sider… a shoe which has resurged in popularity over the past several years, but was actually invented back in the 30s for the sole (pun intended, kinda) purpose of making it safe to run around on a boat deck.\nAccording to some, Top-Siders first gained popularity as an everyday “fashionable” shoe choice in the 80s. Soo… trendy or classic?\nDepends on who you ask, I guess. I say classic, considering its history… but if you ask a 14-year-old who first learns of boat shoes at Urban Outfitters, he might consider it trendy.\nCould it be both?\nAnyway, all of this just to say that it doesn’t really matter. Some things are trendy, some are classic, some are classic that become trendy and go back to being regular ol’ classics again.\nWear what you like\nOne thing I always tell people who are still figuring out their personal style: Wear what you like. Who cares what other people think, seriously. We’re not in 6th grade anymore. You should wear what you love and what makes you feel good.\nAt the same time, it’s smart to learn what actually makes you look awesome and shows that you’re an adult with good taste. You may love and feel good wearing garbage bags, but that’s not exactly striking the balance between feeling good / comfortable, and being perceived as a grown ass man with, you know, taste… and a job.\nBefore I go too far off on a tangent\n… here are three ways you can embrace trends (and incorporate them daily) without completely victimizing yourself.\n1.) One trendy thing at a time\nAny more than that and you approach #menswear peacock status.\nLet me be more specific. If it’s a significant piece of your wardrobe (i.e. Go-to-Hell pants), then tone it down on all the other trendy items on your bod that day.\nIf they’re more subtle, you can probably get away with two or three. So if we’re referring to this photo from GQ, wrist decor like a watch, bracelets, etc, bold socks, and a pocket square are all technically okay to wear at once. It’s when you include all 18 things on this list that you start to peacock the F out, and things just get weird.\n2.) Mix your trends with classic styles\nSo the overall idea here is to be classic and understated, but with a few pops of “F you” and “Go To Hell” here and there.\nThe #menswear peacock in the image above is classic to a certain extent (traditional silhouettes with a modern slant, overall good taste) but then he takes it to a whole different level with the way he’s executing it: Loud colors, over-accessorizing, and including every imaginable up-to-the-moment trend.\nAgain, it’s cool rocking a few of these things (max) at a time, just keep it understated overall.\nThink about when you buy a really awesome garment, and you discover a hidden detail the designer included that no one knows about but you. You want to treat your accessories and trends that way. Do it, but don’t be obnoxious about it. A peek of color here, a crazy brogue paired with a quiet outfit. You get what I’m saying?\n3.) Do the complete opposite\nAre fedoras and trilbies the “in” headgear at the moment? Rock your dad’s old baseball cap. I just whipped out this old Polo Sport cap from my closet back home—much to K’s dismay—and I’m rockin it all the time as if it’s 1996 again.\nEveryone has 10+ bracelets on their wrists? Wear your best watch, and that’s it.\nGo the opposite direction of wherever the trend is headed. Oftentimes trends balloon to excessive proportions before they’re dialed back down again, so forge your own path and do whatever everyone else ISN’T doing.\nJust to clarify, I’m not saying put on your old JNCO wide leg jeans and cheap leather square-toed shoes… that’s a path no one should ever go back down.\nYou can and should adopt certain trends as long as you do it in moderation.\nSo let me open up the floor to you guys: what other ways can you embrace trends without looking like a complete #menswear peacock / fashion victim?

Shortly afterwards, Rainz’s account was banned from the beta test for previously exploiting bugs rather than reporting them (infamously used by his character Aquaman to kill many player characters, a purported griefing incident). According to Origin, he was not banned for the assassination but rather for previous complaints against his account that were brought to light as a result of this attention. The massive amount of lag, caused by the stress test, was a factor in Lord British’s death, as well as the guards being deactivated in the area, which allowed Rainz to steal, avoiding immediate death. 99% of the players were at Lord British’s castle. Only the few at Lord Blackthorn’s castle were the lucky witnesses to this historic event. Those known to have been present besides Lords British and Blackthorn were their jesters Chuckles and Heckles and the following players; Rainz, Dr.Pepper, Mental, DemonSoth, Haaaaaach, Helios, Phobos, Gildoreal, Wind Lord and Kylan.\n3) The Epic Heist – EVE Online – November 2005″\nThis was published in September’s 2005 issue of PC Gamer UK. It is a detailed account of what has to be one of most beautifully executed in-game scams in a MMORPG ever pulled. It breaks all previous world records for ‘virtual crime’.\nThe game in question is Eve Online, where corporate espionage and political intrigue have become an integral part of the game.\nThe perpetrator of the heist was the Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC) corporation (a corporation being similar to a clan in Eve); a freelance mercenary outfit that offers their services (which usually involves corp infiltration, theft and assassination) to the highest bidder. Over a year in planning, the GHSC infilitrated their target’s corp with their own members and gained their trust, as well as access to the corp hangers, with time. It all concluded in a perfectly timed climax, with a massive theft in multiple corp hangars synchronized with the in-game killing of the corporation’s CEO, the primary target of the contract.\nWhat’s most interesting and impressive about this operation is that it was entirely ‘legal’ and within the game’s own rules, and the mastermind and his agents pulled it off together flawlessly, all the while staying in character. The estimated real-life value of the items stolen is, according to PC Gamer, $16,500 US. The in-game value of course is much, much higher as the things stolen would take years and years to aquire.\n4) Plague Outbreak – World of Warcraft – September 2005\nThe Corrupted Blood plague incident was one of the first events to affect entire World of Warcraft servers. Patch 1.7 saw the opening of Zul’Gurub, the game’s first 20-player raid dungeon where players faced off against an ancient tribe of jungle trolls under the sway of the ancient Blood God, Hakkar the Soulflayer. Upon engaging Hakkar, players were stricken by a debuff (a spell that negatively affects a player) called “Corrupted Blood” which would periodically sap their life. The disease would also be passed on to other players who were simply standing in close proximity to an infected person. Originally this malady was confined within the Zul’Gurub instance but made its way into the outside world by way of hunter or warlock pets that contracted the disease.\nWithin hours Corrupted Blood had infected entire cities such as Ironforge and Orgrimmar because of their high player concentrations. Low-level players were killed in seconds by the high-damage disease. Eventually Blizzard fixed the issue so that the plague could not exist outside of Zul’Gurub.\n5) Death of the Sleeper – EverQuest – November 15-17, 2003\nThe guild Blood of the Spider on The Rathe server was the first guild system-wide to kill Ventani (the fourth warder) on July 28, 2001, and therefore wake the sleeper. The event caused a stir on the server when Kerafyrm went into multiple zones, including Skyshrine, killing everyone and everything in his path.\nOn November 15, 2003, on the Rallos Zek PvP server, the three top guilds (Ascending Dawn, Wudan, and Magus Imperialis Magicus) assembled over 180 players with the intent to wake and kill The Sleeper. This was in response to an attempt to wake The Sleeper by an Iksar monk named Stynkfyst, who partnered with the largest random-pk guild of the time. Having been a former member of uber-guild Ascending Dawn, he had the knowledge the random pk guild needed to wake The Sleeper. The top guilds did not assemble their forces until word of Stynkfyst’s intentions had spread, and it became clear that he intended to wake The Sleeper, forever preventing future guilds from farming the old loot table. Until this point, waking The Sleeper had not been seriously considered by any guilds, as it was believed that waking The Sleeper would make the offending guild’s players kill-on-sight to the other guilds of the server. After 3 hours and 15 minutes, at 26% health, Kerafyrm disappeared (despawned). The players talked with the EverQuest Game Masters, and there was a general consensus that a bug had caused the problem, although some suggested (backed by statements from one GM) that higher-ups at SOE had purposely despawned Kerafyrm, because it was not intended to be part of the story.\nThe following day, the players logged in to find that Kerafyrm was back in his “sleeping” state, ready to be triggered again. There was also an apology on the official EverQuest forums from SOE, explaining that they had stopped the encounter because they feared the players were engaging the boss in an unintended manner. Although annoyed (the players pointed out that the reasons SOE gave could not have occurred, and felt lied to), they attempted to battle Kerafyrm once again.\nOn November 17, 2003, after a nearly 3-hour battle, Kerafyrm was defeated. He had between 100 million and 400 million hit points, likely around 250 million (most EverQuest bosses have 2 million at most), was immune to all spells except wizard’s manaburn spell and Shadow Knight’s Harm Touch, possessed two death touch abilities (abilities that automatically killed players), and attacked players for 6999 damage per swing. By using the cleric’s epic weapon and other resurrection spells, the players were able to bring their dead characters back into the battle faster than Kerafyrm could kill them all.", "char_count": 6948, "token_count": 1737, "k_exact": 2.4531, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8783, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Today's verse in Proverbs 15:21 says:\n\"Foolishness brings joy to those who have no sense; a sensible person stays on the right path.\"This verse very much applied to Nabal and Abigail! What struck me in this passage is the fact that Abigail is ready to leave all her wealth behind and become the wife of a chased-after ragtag band leader. How can that be? Well, Abigail recognizes that David is God's chosen shepherd. She recognizes that he will lead the LORD's people and become the chief-shepherd of His flock. As Jesus says in John 10: \"My sheep recognize my voice\", so Abigail recognizes God's voice through David and wants to follow him.\nI want to become sensible like Abigail, to recognize the voice of the Shepherd in the midst of a dire situation. I want to be forward looking to the time when he will come back to earth a second time, to judge the Nabals of this world, and to gather his flock to take part in the wedding feast.\nDear Heavenly Father, give me 'sense' like Abigail had, and help me to avoid the foolishness and selfishness that Nabal displayed. I want to hear your voice and follow you alone. In Jesus Name, the chief Shepherd. Amen.\nToday Pentecost is celebrated across the world, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Since it is often difficult in highly endemic floras with large numbers of threatened species, such as the Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR), to research conservation of all threatened species, one approach is to concentrate effort on a model species. Here, we use Drakaea elastica, a nationally threatened, sexually deceptive orchid endemic to the Swan Coastal Plain, Western Australia. The aim of this project is to determine the multi-scale habitat requirements of D. elastica, along with that of its obligate thynnid wasp pollinator, Zaspilothynnus gilesi. This will be complimented by an investigation of population genetics of D. elastica. In addition, a mark-recapture study on Z. gilesi will yield information on movements and vital rates of the wasp, which in turn can affect gene-flow of D. elastica. This research will allow the compilation of a habitat suitability model to guide conservation, such as the designation of protected areas.\n8.

-{"text": "What is services marketing?\nA service is the action of doing something for someone or something. It is largely intangible (i.e. not material). You cannot touch it. You cannot see it. You cannot taste it. You cannot hear it. You cannot feel it. So a service context creates its own series of challenges for the marketing manager since he or she must communicate the benefits of a service by drawing parallels with imagery and ideas that are more tangible.\nA product is tangible (i.e. material) since you can touch it or own it. A service tends to be an experience that is consumed at the point where it is purchased and cannot be owned since it quickly perishes. A person could go to a café one day and enjoy excellent service, and then return the next day and have a poor experience. Marketers talk about the nature of a service as being inseparable, intangible, perishable, homogenous and variable.\nInseparable - from the point where it is consumed, and from the provider of the service. For example, you cannot take a live theatre performance home to consume it (a DVD of the same performance would be a product, not a service). The consumer is actually involved in the production process that they are buying at the same time as it is being produced, for example an eye test or a makeover. One benefit would be that if you are unhappy with you makeover you can tell the beautician and that instant feedback means that the service quality is improved. You can't do that with a product. Another attribute is that services have to be close to the person consuming them i.e. goods can be made in a central factory location which has the benefits of mass production. This localization means that consumption is inseparable from production.\nIntangible - cannot have a real, physical presence as does a product. For example, motor insurance may have a certificate, but the financial service itself cannot be touched i.e. it is intangible. This makes it tricky to evaluate the quality of service prior to consuming it since there are fewer attributes of quality in comparison to a product. One way is to consider quality in terms of search, experience and credence.\nSearch quality is the perception in the mind of the consumer of the quality of the product prior to purchase through making a series of searches. So this is simple in relation to a tangible product because you might look at size or colour for example. Therefore search quality relates more to products and services.\nExperience quality is easier to assess. In terms of service you need to taste the food or experience the service level. Therefore your experiences allow you to evaluate the level and nature of the service. You remember a great vacation because of the food or service, but by the same token you remember an awful vacation because of the hopeless food or poor service.\nCredence quality is based upon the credibility of the service that you undertake. This is down to the reputation of a dentist or of a decorator. Credence is used where you have little knowledge of the topic and where you rely upon the professionalism of the expert.\nPerishable - in that once it has occurred it cannot be repeated in exactly the same way. For example, once a 100 meters Olympic final has been run, there will not be another for 4 more years, and even then it will be staged in a different place with many different finalists. You cannot put service in the warehouse, or store in your inventory. An interesting argument about perishability goes like this, once a flight has taken off you cannot sell that seat again, hence the airline makes no profit on that seat. Therefore the airline has no choice but to price at peak when it sells a seat at busy times in order to make a profit. That's why restaurants offer vouchers to compensate for quieter times, and it is the same for railway tickets and matinees in Broadway during the middle of the week.\nVariability- since the human involvement in service provision means that no two services will be completely identical, they are variable. For example, returning to the same garage time and time again for a service on your car might see different levels of customer satisfaction, or speediness of work. If you watch your favourite/favorite music group on DVD the experience will be the same every time you play it, although if you go to see them on tour when they are live no two performances will be identical for a whole variety of reasons. Even with the greatly standardized McDonalds experience, there are slight changes in service, often through no fault of the business itself. Sometimes Saturday lunchtime will be extremely busy, on other days you may have to wait to go via the drive through. So services tend to vary from one user experience to another.\nHomogeneity is where services are largely the same (the opposite of variability above). We considered McDonald's above which is a largely homogeneous service, so now let's look at KFC and Pizza Hut. Both of these businesses provide a homogeneous service experience whether you are in New York, or Alaska, or even Adelaide. Consumers expect the same level of service and would not anticipate any huge deviation in their experience. Outside of the main brands you might expect a less homogeneous experience. If you visit your doctor he or she might give one interpretation, whereas another doctor might offer a different view. Your regular hairdresser will deliver a style whereas a hairdresser in the next town could potentially style your hair differently. Therefore standardization is largely embodied by the large global brands which produce services.\nRight of ownership is not taken to the service, since you merely experience it. For example, an engineer may service your air-conditioning, but you do not own the service, the engineer or his equipment. You cannot sell it on once it has been consumed, and do not take ownership of it.\nWestern economies have seen deterioration in their traditional manufacturing industries, and a growth in their service economies. Therefore the marketing mix has seen extended and adapted to create the services marketing mix, also known as the 7P's or the extended marketing mix - physical evidence, process and people.", "char_count": 6229, "token_count": 1557, "k_exact": 3.1553, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.942, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "BELATEDLY, assessments in New York City rose in the mid-80's to reflect the growth in market values. And now, again belatedly, they have begun to drop to reflect the decline.\nThe 7 percent drop in overall assessments may have been the most significant news embedded in the tentative assessment roll for the 1992 fiscal year made public at City Hall last month. It has been overshadowed for the moment by the awkwardly timed effort by the Dinkins administration to raise as much as $800 million more from the property tax than it is producing this year. To do that, tax rates will have to rise.\nHomeowners on average would find their taxes going up about $300 a year from the average bill of $1,340 in the current year. Taxes on apartments -- rentals, co-ops and condominiums -- would on average go up about $230 a unit from a base of $1,430.\nThe biggest blow would fall on commercial property in Class 4, where billable assessments are still rising from past assessment increases on which taxes are being phased in. Additionally there would be a tax-rate increase of about 12 percent if Mayor David N. Dinkins's fiscal plan is fully enacted.\nProperty taxes in Class 4 would reach a level approximately double what they were in 1987, according to the Real Estate Board of New York. The year-to-year increase averages out to $1.28 a square foot. For a 10,000-square-foot office tenant, this is a $12,800-a-year rent increase, since tax increases are passed on under standard leases.\nApart from the anomaly of falling assessments and rising property taxes, however, the roll has an interest in its own right. It is the first to be produced under the leadership of Carol O'Cleireican, an economist, as Finance Commissioner. She has pledged a new openness and fairness in the property assessment system. On the first point, she has already made a notable contribution. But on the second, well-wishers may be permitted skepticism. Unfairness in terms of the ratios of assessed values to market values is legislatively built into New York City's assessment system. An argument can be made that the situation is growing worse.\n\"I know that reform will not be easy,\" said the Commissioner in a statement that accompanied the publication of the roll, which will become final following adjustments made by the Tax Commission after an appeals period. \"But every long journey begins with a first step.\"\nThe first steps toward openness have already been taken. This year the Finance Department disclosed to the owners of income-producing properties the figures known as capitalization rates that assessors assign to categories of income-producing property. The assigned rate reflects their judgment of the current value of a building's income stream, or rents after operating expenses are deducted, to a buyer. Rates are influenced largely by geographic location and building age. The lower the rate, the higher the presumed value.\nFor example, if the net income is $100,000 and the assessors use an 8 percent capitalization rate, the assessed value would be $1.25 million. But if they use a 12 percent rate the valuation would be $833,300.\nLast year, owners of so-called Class B office buildings -- older buildings in nonprime locations, including many in Manhattan that were upgraded or changed from manufacturing to office use in the 80's -- organized themselves as the Property Tax Fairness Coalition and commissioned a study by a Los Angeles consulting firm with a Manhattan office, Hamilton Rabinovitz & Alschuler.", "char_count": 3506, "token_count": 876, "k_exact": 2.478, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8835, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "At midday a light snow began to fall; the white was a welcome sight. While parts of the country are shoveling out, we here in southwest Wisconsin have needed only a broom. The ground here has been bare most of the winter. It's been great for the farmers who try to get their corn and soybeans harvested before the snow flies.\nBy late afternoon there was an inch of new white snow on everything--the ground, trees, fence posts, bushes, everywhere. It was nice to see something bright. In Wisconsin, winter just doesn't seem like winter without some snow. I've been itching to slide down a hill on a sled, but I need at least three or four inches before it's soft enough to cushion these old bones. The birds at the birdfeeders seemed extra busy this morning. Blue jays called and flew off in several directions. A pair of cardinals flew by me as I stood in the snow. A gang of black crows sailed high overhead, calling out to me as they passed by.\nI noticed a pair of jay-sized birds coming at me from the south and passing right over my head. There was no doubt they were robins. This was a nice treat, even though I saw them for only a few seconds. I think the birds knew there was snow on the way, and when they are busy, they tend to add more life at the start of a day. I broomed the snow off the woodpile and picked up three heavy chunks of split hickory. As I climbed the steps, I wondered where those two robins were headed and where they have been. I can't remember the last time I didn't see a robin in the winter, but it's been at least five years. Seeing the first return of a robin in the spring is not so shocking when you know a few are hanging around all winter. These winter robins are shy and rarely will come to the bird feeders. They prefer to fend for themselves, and they are good at it. They will gladly eat the nutritious berries of chokecherry, wild grapes, serviceberry, and highbush cranberry, but the winter robins' favorite food is the seed found in the dark red tops of the sumac.\nOver the years I have shared many winter stories with my readers--stories of the tracks in the deep snow as the landscape turns white. For me it meant a chance to write about how the wildlife survives in a snowy world. So I, for one, am looking for more snow.\nAn Amish farmer told me the other day about seeing a large white bird on top of a fence post in a hayfield. This, of course, made me very curious, so I had to ask him some more questions. He said the bird was over a foot tall, but seemed to be huddled down over the top of the post. The bird was a hundred yards away, but it looked like there may have been some black spots on its white feathers. The farmer's excellent description was of the great white owl, also known as the snowy owl.\nIt's always a wonderful treat to see one of these magnificent birds from the far north. Life can be very harsh on the Canadian tundra, and the snowy owl is used to cold winter weather. In the spring and summer they raise their young on the treeless landscape. Food is plentiful and the owls catch voles, lemmings, and flightless young birds. When winter comes, their true hunting skills surface, and they look for hares and ptarmigan. If the hunting is bad, many of these large white owls migrate across the northern boundaries of the U.S. in search of food.\nWith their large, keen yellow eyes, snowy owls can spot their next meal at a great distance. On huge and silent white wings, they glide low to the ground and surprise their prey. The female great white owl is larger, and her feathers may be heavily barred with black, while the smaller male is lightly barred or pure white. When everything is covered with snow, the great white owl is perfectly camouflaged to blend with its surroundings. With no snow on the ground, though, the snowy owl stands out like a sore thumb. I've spotted them a mile away, sitting motionless in a tree or on top of a fence post. They truly are one of nature's most beautiful and mysterious winter birds.\nAll art ©2013 Organic Valley", "char_count": 4027, "token_count": 1006, "k_exact": 1.5936, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7184, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "SCOTTSDALE -- The Arizona Fall League has long been recognized as Major League Baseball's \"graduate\" school, and on Saturday Paul Konerko picked up his honorary doctorate.Konerko was inducted as the 27th member of the AFL Hall of Fame in ceremonies prior to the Mesa-Salt River game at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, and his No. 34 as third baseman of the 1996 Sun City Solar Sox was retired by the 20-year-old league. Ryan Howard, a member of the 2004 Phoenix Desert Dogs, is inductee No. 28 -- technically. The AFL doesn't formally induct honorees without their presence, and the Philadelphia first baseman is recovering from an operation on the Achilles tendon he had torn on the final play of the National League Division Series. Howard will be honored next year. So the 2011 spotlight shone solely on Konerko, a Scottsdale resident who became the first local product enshrined in the permanent Hall of Fame displayed in Scottsdale Stadium's concourse. \"I'm probably also the first member of the Hall of Fame who came to the games as a kid,\" said Konerko, whose family moved here from Rhode Island when he was 11. Considering about 3,400 prospects have played through the AFL -- more than 1,200 of them on their way to the big leagues -- inclusion among 28 Hall of Famers is certainly a prestigious honor. One definitely not bestowed upon Konerko for his play in the AFL. \"I wasn't too good when I played here,\" Konerko said, and the record books bear him out, as the Solar Sox's third baseman batted .212 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 44 games. At the time, Konerko was a top prospect in the Dodgers' system, and he also paused in Cincinnati prior to arriving in Chicago, where he made his mark on the South Side. The five-time All-Star recently finished his seventh season with 30-plus homers and his ninth with at least 90 RBIs. Konerko called his induction into one of the few Hall of Fames one may enter while still active \"a most pleasant stepping stone.\" \"The AFL has grown up, with more stadiums now, but the core of why it started is the same,\" Konerko said. \"Every organization sends a handful of guys, they're all put together and given a chance to see their best competition. \"They grow and become polished together. Ninety percent of these guys will be playing against each other for the next 10 years,\" added the first baseman and captain -- but not manager -- of the Chicago White Sox. Konerko admitted being taken by surprise by White Sox general manager Ken Williams' admission -- after having already chosen Robin Ventura to replace Ozzie Guillen -- that he had considered Konerko as a player-manager. \"That was never even mentioned,\" Konerko said. \"I saw it in the paper, then got a million phone calls, but it was never something that was brought up to me before the manager was announced. \"To tell you the truth, I've never thought about managing, not really. It was definitely flattering, but I really have no desire to do that. But I guess it was a compliment.\" Did being mentioned in that context put Konerko on the map as a future candidate to manage? \"In my opinion, I do not see myself ever wanting to do that,\" he said. \"But if you go back to 10 years ago, Robin Ventura probably would've said he doesn't want to manage, either, so you never say never. But as of right now, I don't see myself managing in baseball at any level when I'm done.\" That will come as a disappointment to Roland Hemond, a former White Sox executive and a principal founder of the AFL. During Saturday's induction ceremony, Hemond looked forward to \"taking great pleasure in seeing this man's career continue.\" And when the time was right, Hemond said, Konerko \"would make a great manager in the Arizona Fall League.\"", "char_count": 3732, "token_count": 933, "k_exact": 2.9405, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9589, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Psalm CXXVI. 5492\n1. …How man had come into captivity, let us ask the Apostle Paul.…For he saith: “For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.” 5493 Behold whence we became captives; because we were sold under sin. Who sold us? We ourselves, who consented to the seducer. We could sell ourselves; we could not redeem ourselves. We sold ourselves by consent of sin, we are redeemed in the faith of righteousness. For innocent blood was given for us, that we might be redeemed. Whatsoever blood he shed in persecuting the righteous, what kind of blood did he shed? Righteous mens blood, indeed, he shed; they were Prophets, righteous men, our fathers, and Martyrs. Whose blood he shed, yet all coming of the offspring of sin. One blood he shed of Him who was not justified, 5494 but born righteous: by shedding that blood, he lost those whom he held. For they p. 604 for whom innocent blood was given were redeemed, and, turned back from their captivity, they sing this Psalm.\n2. “When the Lord turned back the captivity of Sion, we became as those that are comforted” (Psa. 126.1). He meant by this to say, we became joyful. When? “When the Lord turned back the captivity of Sion.” What is Sion? Jerusalem, the same is also the eternal Sion. How is Sion eternal, how is Sion captive? In angels eternal, in men captive. For not all the citizens of that city are captives, but those who are away from thence, they are captives. Man was a citizen of Jerusalem, but sold under sin he became a pilgrim. Of his progeny was born the human race, and the captivity of Sion filled all lands. And how is this captivity of Sion a shadow of that Jerusalem? The shadow of that Sion, which was granted to the Jews, in an image, in a figure, was in captivity in Babylonia, and after seventy years that people turned back to its own city. 5495 …But when all time is past, then we return to our country, as after seventy years that people returned from the Babylonish captivity, for Babylon is this world; since Babylon is interpreted “confusion.”…So then this whole life of human affairs is confusion, which belongeth not unto God. In this confusion, in this Babylonish land, Sion is held captive. But “the Lord hath turned back the captivity of Sion.” “And we became,” he saith, “as those that are comforted.” That is, we rejoiced as receiving consolation. Consolation is not save for the unhappy, consolation is not save for them that groan, that mourn. Wherefore, “as those that are comforted,” except because we are still mourning? We mourn for our present lot, we are comforted in hope: when the present is passed by, of our mourning will come everlasting joy, when there will be no need of consolation, because we shall be wounded with no distress. But wherefore saith he “as” those that are comforted, and saith not comforted? This word “as,” is not always put for likeness: when we say “As,” it sometimes refers to the actual case, sometimes to likeness: here it is with reference to the actual case.…Walk therefore in Christ, and sing rejoicing, sing as one that is comforted; because He went before thee who hath commanded thee to follow Him.\n3. “Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation” (Psa. 126.2). That mouth, brethren, which we have in our body, how is it “filled with joy”? It useth not to be “filled,” save with meat, or drink, or some such thing put into the mouth. Sometimes our mouth is filled; and it is more that we say to your holiness, 5496 when we have our mouth full, we cannot speak. But we have a mouth within, that is, in the heart, whence whatsoever proceedeth, if it is evil, defileth us, if it is good, cleanseth us. For concerning this very mouth ye heard when the Gospel was read. For the Jews reproached the Lord, because His disciples ate with unwashen hands. 5497 They reproached who had cleanness without; and within were full of stains. They reproached, whose righteousness was only in the eyes of men. But the Lord sought our inward cleanness, which if we have, the outside must needs be clean also. “Cleanse,” He saith, “the inside,” and “the outside shall be clean also.” 5498 …\n4. But let us return to what was just now read from the Gospel, relating to the verse before us, “Our mouth was filled with joy, and our tongue with delight:” for we are inquiring what mouth and what tongue. Listen, beloved brethren. The Lord was scoffed at, because His disciples ate with unwashed hands. The Lord answered them as was fitting, and said unto the crowds whom He had called unto Him, “Hear ye all, and understand: not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” 5499 What is this? when He said, what goeth into the mouth, He meant only the mouth of the body. For meat goeth in, and meats defile not a man; because, “All things are clean to the clean;” and, “every creature of God is good, and none to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving.” 5500 …\n5. Guard the mouth of thy heart from evil, and thou wilt be innocent: the tongue of thy body will be innocent, thy hands will be innocent; even thy feet will be innocent, thy eyes, thy ears, will be innocent; all thy members will serve under righteousness, because a righteous commander hath thy heart. “Then shall they say among the heathen, the Lord hath done great things for them.”\n6. “Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already, whereof we rejoice” (Psa. 126.3). Consider, my brethren, if Sion doth not at present say this among the heathen, throughout the whole world; consider if men are not running unto the Church. In the whole world our redemption is received; Amen is answered. The dwellers in Jerusalem, therefore, captive, destined to return, pilgrims, sighing for their country, speak thus among the heathen. What do they say? “The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we rejoice.” Have they done anything for themselves? They have done ill with themselves, for they have sold themselves under sin. The Redeemer came, and did the good things for them.\n7. “Turn our captivity, O Lord, as the torrents in the south” (Psa. 126.4). Consider, my p. 605 brethren, what this meaneth.…As torrents are turned in the south, so turn our captivity. In a certain passage Scripture saith, in admonishing us concerning good works, “Thy sins also shall melt away, even as the ice in fair warm weather.” 5501 Our sins therefore bound us. How? As the cold bindeth the water that it run not. Bound with the frost of our sins, we have frozen. But the south wind is a warm wind: when the south wind blows, the ice melts, and the torrents are filled. Now winter streams are called torrents; for filled with sudden rains they run with great force. We had therefore become frozen in captivity; our sins bound us: the south wind the Holy Spirit hath blown: our sins are forgiven us, we are released from the frost of iniquity; as the ice in fair weather, our sins are melted. Let us run unto our country, as the torrents in the south.…\n8. For the next words are, “They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy” (Psa. 126.5). In this life, which is full of tears, let us sow. What shall we sow? Good works. Works of mercy are our seeds: of which seeds the Apostle saith, “Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.” 5502 Speaking therefore of almsgiving itself, what saith he? “This I say; he that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly.” 5503 He therefore who soweth plentifully, shall reap plentifully: he who soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly: and he that soweth nothing, shall reap nothing. Why do ye long for ample estates, where ye may sow plentifully? There is not a wider field on which ye can sow than Christ, who hath willed that we should sow in Himself. Your soil is the Church; sow as much as ye can. But thou hast not enough to do this. Hast thou the will? 5504 As what thou hadst would be nothing, if thou hadst not a good will; so do not despond, because thou hast not, if thou hast a good will. For what dost thou sow? Mercy. And what wilt thou reap? Peace. Said the Angels, Peace on earth unto rich men? No, but, “Peace on earth unto men of a good will.” 5505 Zacchæus had a strong will, Zacchæus had great charity. 5506 …Did then that widow who cast her two farthings into the treasury, sow little? Nay, as much as Zacchæus. For she had narrower means, but an equal will. She gave her two mites 5507 with as good a will as Zacchæus gave the half of his patrimony. If thou consider what they gave, thou wilt find their gifts different; if thou look to the source, thou wilt find them equal; she gave whatever she had, and he gave what he had.…But if they are beggars whose profession is asking alms, in trouble they also have what to bestow upon one another. God hath not so forsaken them, but that they have wherein they may be tried by their bestowing of alms. This man cannot walk; he who can walk, lendeth his feet to the lame; he who seeth, lendeth his eyes to the blind; and he who is young and sound, lendeth his strength to the old or the infirm, carrieth him: the one is poor, the other is rich.\n9. Sometimes also the rich man is found to be poor, and something is bestowed upon him by the poor. Somebody cometh to a river, so much the more delicate as he is more rich; he cannot pass over: if he were to pass over with bare limbs, he would catch cold, would be ill, would die: a poor man more active in body cometh up: he carries the rich man over; he giveth alms unto the rich. Think not therefore those only poor, who have not money.…Thus love ye, thus be ye affectioned unto one another. Attend not solely to yourselves: but to those who are in want around you. But because these things take place in this life with troubles and cares, faint not. Ye sow in tears, ye shall reap in joy.\n10. How, my brethren? When the farmer goeth forth with the plough, carrying seed, is not the wind sometimes keen, and doth not the shower sometimes deter him? He looketh to the sky, seeth it lowering, shivers with cold, nevertheless goeth forth, and soweth. For he feareth lest while he is observing the foul weather, and awaiting sunshine, the time may pass away, and he may not find anything to reap. Put not off, my brethren; sow in wintry weather, sow good works, even while ye weep; for, “They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy.” They sow their seed, good will, and good works. “They went on their way and wept, casting their seed” (Psa. 126.6). Why did they weep? Because they were among the miserable, and were themselves miserable. It is better, my brethren, that no man should be miserable, than that thou shouldest do alms.…Nevertheless, as long as there are objects for its exercise, let us not fail amid those troubles to sow our seed. Although we sow in tears, yet shall we reap in joy. For in that resurrection of the dead, each man shall receive his own sheaves, that is, the produce of his seed, the crown of joys and of delight. Then will there be a joyous triumph, when we shall laugh at death, wherein we groaned before: then shall they say to death, “O death, where is thy strife? O death, where is thy sting?” 5508 But why do they now rejoice? Because “they bring their sheaves with them.”\n11. In this Psalm we have chiefly exhorted you to do deeds of alms, because it is thence that we ascend; and ye see that he who ascendp. 606 eth, singeth the song of steps. Remember: do not love to descend, instead of to ascend, but reflect upon your ascent: because he who descended from Jerusalem to Jericho fell among thieves. 5509 …The Samaritan as He passed by slighted us not: He healed us, He raised us upon His beast, upon His flesh; He led us to the inn, that is, the Church; He entrusted us to the host, that is, to the Apostle; He gave two pence, whereby we might be healed, 5510 the love of God, and the love of our neighbour. The Apostle spent more; for, though it was allowed unto all the Apostles to receive, as Christs soldiers, pay from Christs subjects, 5511 that Apostle, nevertheless, toiled with his own hands, and excused the subjects the maintenance owing to him. 5512 All this hath already happened: if we have descended, and have been wounded; let us ascend, let us sing, and make progress, in order that we may arrive.\nLat.

To provide access to its peer support service the organisation now has:\n- Skype Video Conferencing and\n- Online Chat capabilities\nThis important service enables people to decrease social isolation and increase social connection by having a touch base chat about their day or week.\nPeople with the dual disability of mental illness and deafness are some of the most isolated in our community. \"To be able to provide peer support to our colleagues in the deaf community is not only exciting it is very sorely needed\".\nPhone Connections is not a crisis line, nor a clinical or counseling service. Peer support is based on equality, mutuality, hope and understanding and is a complimentary pathway to clinical services. Phone Connections has been operating for 5 years and is very highly regarded both by consumers who access the service and other providers. At this stage we can only offer this much needed service to people with the dual disability of mental illness and deafness one evening per week (Fridays).\nAccess to Phone Connections is FREE and the person can remain with the service for as long as they like. The peer support staff is very experienced and very highly trained. \"To receive a touch base phone call can make all the difference to a person's day. It may be the only call the person receives for the week to let them know that someone cares about them\", Ms Casey, Executive Officer said. \"Even when not at home the fact the staff leaves a message lets the person know that someone is thinking about them\".\nWhilst providing this highly sought after peer support service to the deaf community is new, this exciting and innovative initiative taps into the technology that is available for the whole community. This population group has been largely ignored by the overall mental health community for far too long.\nSkype video conferencing will be available where the peer support worker can make the conference call within a designated time frame, just like CAN's other Phone Connections staff who ring people via phone. All the person has to do is request a Skype video conference call during the Friday evenings of operation. This can be undertaken by:\n- Registering online\n- Sending an email\n- Requesting a friend or relative to ring on 02 9114 8150 (Sydney metropolitan) or 1300 135 846 (Intra and Interstate) callers and leave a message; or\n- Touching base via the Online Chat\nFor more information go to the CAN website http://canmentalhealth.org.au or email email@example.com", "char_count": 2796, "token_count": 699, "k_exact": 2.4846, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8618, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Claims over $150 million will be dealt with through a specially mandated Cabinet process.\nTiming | Under the Specific Claims Tribunal Act, certain claims will be eligible for filing with the Specific Claims Tribunal as of 16 October 2011.\nFederal policy divides Aboriginal land claims into two broad categories: specific claims and comprehensive claims. Specific claims arise from the alleged non-fulfillment of historic treaties between First Nations and the Crown, or improper administration of First Nations lands and other assets by the Crown. Comprehensive claims are based on the assertion of continuing Aboriginal rights and title that have not been dealt with by treaty or other legal means. This overview focuses on the specific claims process.\nBetween April 2010 and April 2011, 18 specific claims were settled at a total value of approximately $666 million. The monetary value of the claims settled in this period ranged from $134,283 to $231.4 million. As of 5 April 2011, 503 specific claims remain in the federal inventory of claims under assessment or in negotiations.1\nOver the past several years, the federal specific claims process has been the subject of legal and policy reform initiatives intended to reduce the backlog of outstanding claims. In response to a 2006 report of the Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples, which highlighted the need for reforms to the specific claims process in several areas, the federal government launched Specific Claims: Justice at Last – Canada’s Specific Claims Action Plan in June 2007. The reforms proposed in the action plan included an independent tribunal to make binding decisions on claims that cannot be resolved by negotiations, dedicated funding for specific claims settlements, and practical measures to improve the processing of both small and large claims.2\n|Location of Specific Claims Under Assessment or in Negotiations (as of 5 April 2011)|\n|Source: Figure prepared by the Library of Parliament using data obtained from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.|\nThe Specific Claims Tribunal Act was introduced in the House of Commons on 27 November 2007 and came into force on 16 October 2008. The Act creates the Specific Claims Tribunal, an administrative tribunal composed of Superior Court judges with authority to make binding decisions on claims and to award monetary compensation up to a maximum of $150 million per claim.\nThe Act stipulates that a First Nation may file a claim with the tribunal if the claim has been previously filed with the minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and if:\nIn effect, the Specific Claims Tribunal Act introduces three-year timelines for the assessment and negotiation of specific claims. As a result of these timelines, certain cases will become eligible for filing with the tribunal as of 16 October 2011.\nWith this deadline in view, the Specific Claims Tribunal is currently preparing for the commencement of operations. Between November 2009 and November 2010, several Superior Court judges were appointed to the tribunal, and Justice Harry Slade was appointed as its chairperson. Draft Rules of Practice and Procedure were made public in June 2010 and are currently under review by the Department of Justice. The tribunal’s first annual report, dated 30 September 2010, provides a synopsis of work undertaken to that date and of anticipated activities through the current and following fiscal years.3\nThe introduction of the Specific Claims Tribunal Act in November 2007 was accompanied by the signing of a political agreement between the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. The political agreement provides for additional discussion on improvements in the resolution of specific claims not directly addressed in the legislation, including matters related to claims that exceed the monetary cap of $150 million.

It matters like a guy on The Titanic needed to figure out how to survive The Great Depression. It mattered like calling the right play for the Washington Generals matters.\nThis will be a relic of Fred Wilpon's very late career as owner of the New York Mets. There's no realistic financial path forward for him.\nLet's stipulate the following: no one can predict the future. But when the Mets were in fourth place on September 1 of last year, 13 games out, no one treated it like a coin flip whether they'd make the playoffs or not. It wasn't going to happen, in all likelihood. And it didn't.\nAnyone who tries to tell you the Wilpons don't face the same kind of odds to hold onto this team, be it Fred Wilpon or anyone else, shouldn't be taken seriously. Let's be clear: if the long-discussed minority owner is found to give the Wilpons (or more accurately, Sterling Equities), that is reported to be, best-case, $200 million. With losses expected to be $70 million this year, a $22 million debt balloon payment due on Citi Field in June, and $25 million due back to Major League Baseball by the end of the season, that leaves around $85 million over, assuming no other expenses, planning for 2012 losses, or the next debt balloon payment on Citi Field.\nBut let's say the Wilpons hold onto that entire $85 million, and apply it toward the lawsuit they face from the Trustee for the Bernie Madoff victims, Irving Picard.\nPicard wants $1 billion. That's a lot more than $85 million.\nAnd let's paint the rosiest scenario- somehow, though Picard has been settling with people for 99 cents on the dollar, the Wilpons convince the bankruptcy judge to see things their way regarding Picard's allegations that they should have known Madoff was a fraud. (Remember, every time you hear the Wilpons or allies declare publicly that they didn't know, it doesn't matter. That's not the standard here.)\nEven then, the Wilpons owe $300 million in the cash in minus cash out formulation Picard has created for net winners. That's been litigated by Picard, regarding Madoff, before this bankruptcy judge.\nSo where are they getting that money in an absolute best-case scenario? And remember: they can't sell 49 percent of the team twice and still hold ownership.\nI suppose the absolute best-case scenario calls for all that, plus the judge ruling against himself, or Irving Picard having a change of heart, or the Sterling partners winning Powerball. And then again. And then again.\nBut every time you read a story about the financials of the New York Mets, if the Wilpons don't look like they are in fourth place, 13 games out, with a month to go, that reporter isn't paying attention, either.\nSo take Fred Wilpon's comments accordingly. They are shockingly stupid in terms of the effect on team morale and attendance. But financially, it is impossible to see how the Mets can afford Jose Reyes either way, and around the league, other teams already knew this. Carlos Beltran was a goner anyway. And David Wright, one hopes, will be more accurately evaluated by the new owner.\nWho is coming.

Though the young man eagerly joined Elvis in hotel rooms to receive groupies, he comes across as stolid in later life, blithely carrying on as a minor solo act.

Perhaps the group was jinxed; perhaps brother-sister acts came to seem cornball; or perhaps the bitch goddess of Fame is simply a false idol.\nBass's Maxine proclaims that the Browns opened the gates for such glorious successors as Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn, and that Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks both owe her thank-you notes.

-{"text": "Bucholz McEvoy Architects\n- Award Type:\nRegional Award 2005\n- Location: Connacht\nWestern Over €3,000,000\nThe speed with which office development happens in Ireland often produces buildings which have no relationship to their environment. They are placed and constructed from so-called ‘practical’ or ‘utilitarian’ reasons. Given specific time constraints and specific environmental and functional constraints how can architecture be created from purely utilitarian interpretation of these constraints? That is the problem we had to solve in the design of SAP Galway’s building.\nThe building had to be completely designed before site selection was finalized; therefore it was decided to treat the function, a workplace with a specific task for a software company, and the environment, Longitude 9° W and Latitude 53° 15’ N, as the site. A building optimized to these conditions could fit in any site. The building is designed to create a balanced environment for employee comfort and working, which used the minimum amount of energy from non-renewable resources. The building environmentally is a high density occupancy building with high ventilation demand and high cooling load. Free cooling using outside air is the only cooling source utilized. An atrium separates office floor-plates which are connected via bridge structures.\nOn the floor-plates are the work spaces, and on the bridges are the relaxing zone. The atrium is the driving environmental force for the building and obviates the need for mechanical extraction systems. The concrete frame is exposed pre-cast structure, the façade and atrium have been designed to optimize natural light, shading, and ventilation of the office space.\nSAP’s Galway facility is a ‘Contact Centre’: a place where direct technical queries are received and dealt with on the telephone. This is SAP’s first contact centre internationally, therefore it was important that the building be both flexible, and tailored for the work-culture.\nThe age profile is young, 19-21, post leaving cert: at this age people have little or no experience of working in an office. This being their first office experience it will condition their performance and expectations vis-à-vis workplace etiquette, practices, the relationship between what they do and the environment within which they do it.\nLanguage is controlling feature of team composition. Teams deal with a specific language or language groups, therefore the overall composition of the office is highly international.\nProductivity is key; knowledge sharing may happen between people, however due to the fact that they answer queries over the telephone they will not ‘overhear’ conversations about similar problems. It is anticipated that similar issues will be dealt with by circulating them via email. 6min. response time means that people must think on their feet, and generally should not need to consult directly with colleagues.\nInnovative and technically accomplished- this is a \"prototype\" office building designed for a site of an assumed orientation. Its elegant form and construction derive from clear rational planning, meticulous detailing and flawless construction.

-{"text": "Will county give low-income seniors the tax break OK'd by voters?\nPublished: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.\nLast Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.\nLike many local residents Irvin Curtin was looking for a break — a tax break, to be specific.\nCurtin recently approached the County Commission to request implementation of Amendment 11, a newly passed provision to the state Constitution that grants certain low-income senior citizens a reduction in their property tax rates.\n\"I've lived a long time. I've seen so many property tax increases, and other kinds of tax increases, that it just boggles the mind. And I think this is a worthwhile thing,\" the Belleview-area retiree told the board.\nOne commissioner agreed, and one didn't, clearly indicating his opposition.\nWhich means any hope of relief for Curtin and other senior citizens in his situation are pinned on all three remaining commissioners being convinced to open another loophole in an already well ventilated property tax system.\nAmendment 11 authorizes cities and counties to enact a homestead exemption for people 65 and older who meet the following criteria: They must have a household income of less than $27,030; own a home whose market value is less than $250,000; and have lived in that home for at least 25 years.\nProponents say its passage would effectively eliminate property taxes for qualified homeowners.\nIn Marion County the reduction in revenue from enacting Amendment 11 would be miniscule. A county report estimates that qualified taxpayers collectively would save $162,234.\nCritics of Amendment 11 maintain that local governments just could not afford another tax break as revenues keep declining.\nAccording to an annual report Property Appraiser Villie Smith compiles about local land values, the state has authorized 38 tax breaks for property owners.\nThat includes exemptions for both land and for personal — or tangible — property.\nThe homestead exemption, which slashes up to $50,000 off the taxable value of residences, is the best known and most popular. It is claimed by about 93,000 homeowners in Marion County.\nOther tax breaks contained in Smith's report cover nearly 5,000 parcels of publicly owned land, including schools; 1,008 parcels owned by churches and charitable organizations, including health care providers; 11,146 parcels owned by widows and widowers; 6,816 parcels owned by the partially or totally disabled and the blind, including military veterans; 42 parcels set aside for environmental conservation; and 10 parcels owned by deployed military personnel.\nAcross the county, those exemptions reduced the overall taxable value of property by $6.4 billion in 2012.\nThose property tax breaks saved taxpayers across Marion County about $45.3 million last year. That's about $800,000 more than the $44.5 million the county budgeted for property tax revenues for 2013.\nIn his pro-Amendment 11 pitch to the County Commission, Curtin pointed out that he collects about $1,100 a month in Social Security, while his property taxes ran about $1,400 per year.\nHe added that he once used his federal income tax rebate to pay his property taxes, but could no longer do so after retiring.\nCurtin had an advocate on the board, Commissioner Earl Arnett, who dropped Amendment 11 on his colleagues on Tuesday as his first big policy issue.\nArnett argued that the public had clearly voiced its preference by overwhelmingly supporting Amendment 11.\nThe amendment was one of just three proposed changes to the Florida Constitution to pass last November. The other two also were property tax-related, providing breaks for families of military veterans or first responders.\nAmendment 11 received 61 percent of the vote statewide and 61 percent within Marion County.\n\"The voting public has told us, as commissioners, that they would like to see this exemption for our seniors,\" Arnett said.\n\"Most of our seniors that have owned a home for 25 years are responsible. They pay their taxes. They pay their mortgage. They just don't have the funds left for the nutrition that they need and for the prescriptions,\" Arnett said.\nYet Commissioner Stan McClain announced he would oppose Amendment 11 — as, he said, he has opposed other property tax exemptions.\nEvery new tax break, McClain said, requires other taxpayers \"to pick up the slack\" and creates a demand from other groups for even more tax exemptions.\n\"Pretty soon, there's going to be a small amount of people paying property tax,\" McClain said. \"We end up in a circular firing squad when we do this.\"\n\"It's not fair to everyone else.

-{"text": "Justin Hamilton and Christopher Stern, co-owners of Hamilton Stern Construction LLC, finally can put their feet up and relax.\nAfter completing renovations on their headquarters in Pittsford, the duo have settled into the new home of their full-service construction management company.\nIn just more than two years, Hamilton Stern Construction has completed or begun work on a variety of commercial, health care, industrial and residential projects, ranging in cost from $25,000 to $5 million. Those projects include building renovations to the Niagara Falls Air Force Base, the build-out of Savers thrift store in Henrietta and the corporate offices of Chaintreuil Jensen and Stark Architects LLP.\nHamilton and Stern's dream of owning a business together began in 1998, when they met as teammates on the basketball team at Rochester Institute of Technology. They clicked instantly.\n\"We kind of knew right then and there that one day we would be working together,\" Stern said.\nBoth Stern and Hamilton were civil engineering majors. After graduating in 2003, they worked as project engineers at MLB Construction Services LLC in Ballston Spa, Saratoga County, before pursuing separate ventures.\nStern went to work as a project manager for LeCesse Construction Services LLC, a commercial construction management company with offices in Henrietta. Hamilton became a project manager for Mazzarella & Cannan LLC, a real estate development and property management company in Rochester.\nBoth Hamilton and Stern said the contacts they made working for those two companies served as the building blocks for their construction firm. The duo formed the company in early 2010, with two other employees.\nHamilton Stern Construction took shape in a temporary office on Humboldt Street in Rochester. The company's first major project came in May 2011, a 7,000-square-foot addition and renovation of Tire World Auto Service Center in Penfield. The renovations, completed in October, included a new showroom and an expansion from five to nine service bays.\nAs the project wrapped up, Hamilton Stern Construction was moved into its 5,000-square-foot office and warehouse space on Monroe Avenue in Pittsford. Stern and Hamilton spent the first few months working together in a small office in the building while their construction team completed renovations.\nThe space, which previously housed the Three Crowns gift shop, now features their offices, a spiral staircase, conference area and kitchen. Hamilton said the next step is hiring a receptionist as business picks up.\n\"We're growing to the point where we need help,\" Hamilton said. \"That's a good thing.\"\nThe firm has 12 employees, but each client still gets the services of either Hamilton or Stern.\n\"We're very hands-on. Either Justin or I will see each project from start to finish,\" Stern said.\nHamilton said the company owes its early success to word-of-mouth marketing, several repeat customers and the chemistry between its 32-year-old co-founders.\n\"I tell people Chris is like my brother from another mother,\" Hamilton said. \"We're able to bounce ideas off each other.

-{"text": "In the golden age of the worker, when worker’s rights were freshly won and the unions were widely respected as groups that helped tip the scales away from the bourgeois and towards the proletariat, one of the greatest threats to the newly rejuvenated working class was automation. “One day, the robots will come and destroy everything we’ve worked for in the name of profit,” they would say. Instead, the robots came and made things more efficient, safer and increased productivity greatly. Then, the politicians and the upper class came and destroyed everything they worked for in the name of profit.\nIn our time, it is a pretty safe bet to say it is no longer a golden age for the worker. It is, however, seemingly a golden age for independent games. Enter Vessel, the fluid based puzzler and first game from the liberated ex-EA employees over at Strange Loop Games. Vessel approaches the automation issue from a steampunk perspective, where liquid based lifeforms called fluros have been invented by the game’s protagonist, who looks a surprising amount like Bruce Campbell, M. Arkwright. These creatures have become prevalent in society, taking over the majority of factory and manual labor jobs in almost every industry. As the story progresses, you come to find out that these formerly mindless creatures have begun to evolve and pursue their own goals. In the process, they’ve stopped a multitude of important machines. Ever the scientist, Arkwright decides to investigate the fluros’ evolution, repair the machines and find a way to bridge the gap between humanity and the fluros.\nThis story, like many indie games, is told in a very minimalistic way. There is no dialog, really, with the protagonist’s thoughts conveyed through journal entries that offer a small bit of insight into the game’s world – although they mostly exist to give you a basic rundown of the various mechanics that come into play. This leaves the real story, and especially the fairly surreal ending, mostly up to your interpretation. There are times where that can be a cop out, but this is not one of those times. I always found that games, and really all forms of entertainment, that use an “up to interpretation” story only work when the content is strong enough to prop it up, and Vessel’s certainly is.\nThe gameplay here absolutely shines. Strange Loop created their own engine from the ground up in order to handle the fairly complex fluid physics present here, and the attention to detail shines. The engine’s ability to handle dynamic liquid simulation puts Vessel a sea apart from its competition. The multiple different liquids all flow, accumulate, evaporate and react in a completely logical manner. Containers can fill up, overflow and be emptied. Pretty much anything you can do with water, you need to do in Vessel to make your way through its large amount of varied, and progressively more difficult, puzzles.\nI can’t put enough emphasis on how well designed those puzzles really are. Vessel is very well paced, and the way it introduces the game’s concepts steadily is novel. It doesn’t give you many clues as to what you should do with the knowledge it gives you, and there aren’t any big red arrows or signs saying “HIT THIS BUTTON” or “MAKE STEAM HERE” so you’ll have to do all the leg work yourself. Like the minimalism in the story, the minimalism in feedback given to the player works because of the way the game is made. Of course, a scientist wouldn’t need, or even want, everything spelled out to him easily. He would want to experiment, document and improve on his methods to solve these problems. Vessel, and its emphasis on the player figuring out the interactions between not just fluros and the environment, but fluros and other fluros, is as close to the scientific method as we are going to see in a puzzler.\nThese interactions between the various types of fluros, as well as the various types of material they can be made out of, comprise the bulk of the problem solving. Some levels will see you needing to open up a number of doors so you can place a fluro on a button, while others will need you to find ways for two fluros of differing materials to collide so that the gas or steam they create can open up a different area. It is quite a rewarding experience when you finally do get all your little water creatures and lava creatures and “You Can’t Do That on Television” slime creatures to do what you need them to do.\nEven Vessel’s aesthetics are exceptional. I always felt that, despite my “gameplay before graphics” attitude, it was the experiments with art direction indie games tend to take that really drew me to them originally. I was always a retro gamer. Even as games got more and more advanced, I still clung to my love of the 16 bit era. When the AAA console games started moving towards realism and billions of polygons, I was quite happy to find people creating 2D games still. The advancements in tech, and even in artistic ability, within the gaming industry have been so large that these 2D platformers and puzzlers end up looking just gorgeous. Vessel – with its colorful backgrounds and great lighting – is as good a looking as any indie game has ever been. The music even shines, as it features a number of pieces from well-known composer Jon Hopkins, all arranged adaptively. The music adjusts to what you are doing and it ends up adding so much to the game’s feel.\nWhile this all might sound entirely perfect, I have to burst the bubble a bit. There are some issues that show that Vessel is slightly wet behind the ears, with a handful of problems that break the fluidity of the game’s flow. Sorry, I’m way under my quota for liquid puns here. I have to catch up or else they revoke my membership to the Shitty Pun of the Month club.\nWhile the puzzles are legitimately among the most well designed I’ve seen in quite a while, the platforming elements fall a bit short. The controls aren’t always as responsive as you would like, and jumping can be a bit iffy in some situations. Also, for people who aren’t really used to using the brain pathways that lead to being good at puzzle games, Vessel’s lack of hand holding might be a significant barrier to enjoyment. Most stages are intuitive enough that you’ll figure it out, but some take a significant amount of experimenting. There are even a few that suffer from design choices, like one type of fluros that will follow you around and hit switches but is frustratingly slow, or a puzzle where you know exactly what you have to do but simply can’t get the fluros to cooperate.\nCompared to the rest of the game, these problems are barely spit in the ocean of awesomeness. Vessel is easily one of, if not the best, indie games of 2012 so far. It is well designed, gorgeous to look at, and incredibly entertaining. Strange Loops has created a game that is more coheisive than most, with absolutely everything – from the graphics to the music to the puzzles – combining to put emphasis on the setting and mood. It is even a good ‘bang for your buck’ purchase as it offers you around 10 to 12 hours of squirting entertainment, which would usually cost you way more if you were looking for squirting entertainment on the internet. Hell, I was so engrossed in it I pretty much sat down and played the whole thing in a single sitting.\nI really have to pee.\nHere’s the Rundown:\n+ Well paced and intelligently designed puzzles with incredibly well done physics\n+ Great to look at and listen to\n+ Long for an indie game, and well worth the money\n- Lack of hints or overt direction could turn off some gamers\n- Occasional technical issues, including a save bug that is in need of a patch\n- Some puzzles can become frustrating due to hiccups with the fluros\n8 and 8.5 represent a game that is a good experience overall. While there may be some issues that prevent it from being fantastic, these scores are for games that you feel would easily be worth a purchase.\nVessel was developed by Strange Loop games and published by Indie Loop for the PC, and eventually for the XBLA and PSN . The game was released on March 1, 2012 with an MSRP of $14.99 on the PC. XBLA and PSN release dates have not been confirmed yet. The game was purchased by my main squeeze because she is a goth chick and thus immediately attracted to anything steampunk. It was played for around ten hours until completion. Specs of the PC used are as follows: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83ghz, Nvidia Geforce 570 GTX GPU, 8GB RAM, and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

-{"text": "Barbara Ehrenreich – a Situationist\nPosted by The Situationist Staff on October 14, 2009\nFrom a related Time Magazine article here’s a brief sample of her writing on the topic of optimism.\n* * *\nIf you’re craving a quick hit of optimism, reading a news magazine is probably not the best way to go about finding it. As the life coaches and motivational speakers have been trying to tell us for more than a decade now, a healthy, positive mental outlook requires strict abstinence from current events in all forms. Instead, you should patronize sites like Happynews.com, where the top international stories of the week include “Jobless Man Finds Buried Treasure” and “Adorable ‘Teacup Pigs’ Are Latest Hit with Brits.”\nOr of course you can train yourself to be optimistic through sheer mental discipline. Ever since psychologist Martin Seligman crafted the phrase “learned optimism” in 1991 and started offering optimism training, there’s been a thriving industry in the kind of thought reform that supposedly overcomes negative thinking. You can buy any number of books and DVDs with titles like Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude, in which you will learn mental exercises to reprogram your outlook from gray to the rosiest pink: “affirmations,” for example, in which you repeat upbeat predictions over and over to yourself; “visualizations” in which you post on your bathroom mirror pictures of that car or boat you want; “disputations” to refute any stray negative thoughts that may come along. If money is no object, you can undergo a three-month “happiness makeover” from a life coach or invest $3,575 for three days of “optimism training” on a Good Mood Safari on the coast of New South Wales. . . .\n* * *\nAmericans have long prided themselves on being “positive” and optimistic — traits that reached a manic zenith in the early years of this millennium. Iraq would be a cakewalk! The Dow would reach 36,000! Housing prices could never decline! Optimism was not only patriotic, it was a Christian virtue, or so we learned from the proliferating preachers of the “prosperity gospel,” whose God wants to “prosper” you. In 2006, the runaway bestseller The Secret promised that you could have anything you wanted, anything at all, simply by using your mental powers to “attract” it. The poor listened to upbeat preachers like Joel Osteen and took out subprime mortgages. The rich paid for seminars led by motivational speakers like Tony Robbins and repackaged those mortgages into securities sold around the world. . . .\n* * *\nBelow are some excerpts from the introduction of her new book explaining that, optimism notwithstanding, Americans are not necessarily better off.\n* * *\nSurprisingly, when psychologists undertake to measure the relative happiness of nations, they routinely find that Americans are not, even in prosperous times and despite our vaunted positivity, very happy at all. A recent meta-analysis of over a hundred studies of self-reported happiness worldwide found Americans ranking only twenty-third, surpassed by the Dutch, the Danes, the Malaysians, the Bahamians, the Austrians, and even the supposedly dour Finns. In another potential sign of relative distress, Americans account for two-thirds of the global market for antidepressants, which happen also to be the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States. To my knowledge, no one knows how antidepressant use affects people’s responses to happiness surveys: do respondents report being happy because the drugs make them feel happy or do they report being unhappy because they know they are dependent on drugs to make them feel better? Without our heavy use of antidepressants, Americans would likely rank far lower in the happiness rankings than we currently do.\nWhen economists attempt to rank nations more objectively in terms of “well-being,” taking into account such factors as health, environmental sustainability, and the possibility of upward mobility, the United States does even more poorly than it does when only the subjective state of “happiness” is measured. The Happy Planet Index, to give just one example, locates us at 150th among the world’s nations.\n* * *\nBut of course it takes the effort of positive thinking to imagine that America is the “best” or the “greatest.” Militarily, yes, we are the mightiest nation on earth. But on many other fronts, the American score is dismal, and was dismal even before the economic downturn that began in 2007. Our children routinely turn out to be more ignorant of basic subjects like math and geography than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. They are also more likely to die in infancy or grow up in poverty. Almost everyone acknowledges that our health care system is “broken” and our physical infrastructure crumbling. We have lost so much of our edge in science and technology that American companies have even begun to outsource their research and development efforts. Worse, some of the measures by which we do lead the world should inspire embarrassment rather than pride: We have the highest percentage of our population incarcerated, and the greatest level of inequality in wealth and income. We are plagued by gun violence and racked by personal debt.\nWhile positive thinking has reinforced and found reinforcement in American national pride, it has also entered into a kind of symbiotic relationship with American capitalism. There is no natural, innate affinity between capitalism and positive thinking. In fact, one of the classics of sociology, Max Weber’s Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, makes a still impressive case for capitalism’s roots in the grim and punitive outlook of Calvinist Protestantism, which required people to defer gratification and resist all pleasurable temptations in favor of hard work and the accumulation of wealth.\nBut if early capitalism was inhospitable to positive thinking, “late” capitalism, or consumer capitalism, is far more congenial, depending as it does on the individual’s hunger for more and the firm’s imperative of growth. The consumer culture encourages individuals to want more — cars, larger homes, television sets, cell phones, gadgets of all kinds — and positive thinking is ready at hand to tell them they deserve more and can have it if they really want it and are willing to make the effort to get it. Meanwhile, in a competitive business world, the companies that manufacture these goods and provide the paychecks that purchase them have no alternative but to grow. If you don’t steadily increase market share and profits, you risk being driven out of business or swallowed by a larger enterprise. Perpetual growth, whether of a particular company or an entire economy, is of course an absurdity, but positive thinking makes it seem possible, if not ordained.\nIn addition, positive thinking has made itself useful as an apology for the crueler aspects of the market economy. If optimism is the key to material success, and if you can achieve an optimistic outlook through the discipline of positive thinking, then there is no excuse for failure. The flip side of positivity is thus a harsh insistence on personal responsibility: if your business fails or your job is eliminated, it must because you didn’t try hard enough, didn’t believe firmly enough in the inevitability of your success. As the economy has brought more layoffs and financial turbulence to the middle class, the promoters of positive thinking have increasingly emphasized this negative judgment: to be disappointed, resentful, or downcast is to be a “victim” and a “whiner.”\n* * *\nFor a sample of related Situationist posts, see “Self-Serving Biases,” “The Motivated Situation of Inequality and Discrimination,” “Thanksgiving as “System Justification”?,” “Cheering for the Underdog,” “Ayn Rand’s Dispositionism: The Situation of Ideas,” “Deep Capture – Part X,” “Promoting Dispositionism through Entertainment – Part I, Part II, & Part III,” “The Unconscious Situation of our Consciousness – Part IV,” and “The (Unconscious) Situation of our Consciousness – Part III.”", "char_count": 8076, "token_count": 2019, "k_exact": 2.7378, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8972, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "LISBON, Mar 22 (IPS) - The huge impact of the economic crisis on male employment in Portugal has led to a sharp increase in the proportion of women who have become the main breadwinners in their families. But that has not translated into progress towards equality.\n\"Today there is more male unemployment than female, because the crisis has especially affected the civil construction industry,\" said Anália Torres, a professor at the Technical University of Lisbon's Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences.\n\"With less economic activity in that industry, which traditionally employs men, the male unemployment rate has climbed, while in sectors that generally employ women, unemployment grew much less,\" Torres said in an interview with IPS.\nThe European Commission expects unemployment in Portugal to reach 17.3 percent in 2013. But opposition parties and trade unions project a rate of 24 percent.\nProfessor Anália Torres at the Technical University of Lisbon's Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences. Credit: Mario Queiroz/IPS\nThe gap between the figures is explained by the thousands of people who have stopped registering at the government employment centres or have moved abroad, mainly to other European countries or to the former Portuguese colonies of Brazil, Angola, Mozambique or Macau.\nAmong those who only have a primary school education, \"the woman always earns less than the man,\" Torres said. \"And as the educational level increases, the difference between the incomes of men and women grows. A woman with a doctorate earns much less than a man (with the same degree).\"\nIn areas like education and health, where women earn 20 percent less than men, it is men who are most often laid off \"because they are more expensive.\"\nAnother factor that puts women in the position of bringing home the bacon \"is that many remunerated activities carried out by women are in the informal economy, undeclared or unskilled work, such as cleaning or babysitting in the homes of the well-off,\" the academic said.\nIn Portugal, the 1961-1974 colonial war in the country's overseas territories in Africa – Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique – \"led to large numbers of women replacing men (in the workplace),\" Torres said.\nSince then, \"the idea of the working woman who helps support her family has remained in place,\" she added.\nDuring the war, Portugal maintained a permanent force of 220,000 military troops – an enormous figure compared to a population at the time of 8.8 million (10.6 million today).\nIn the 1960s, one million people from Portugal moved abroad for economic reasons or to avoid being sent to war in Africa. Women, Torres said, \"took on a central role in a country with very few men of working age.\"\nNevertheless, \"the predominant sexism persisted, and men continue to make a show of unacceptable machismo today,\" she said.\n\"By refusing to help do things around the home on the argument that ‘I am a man, I don't do that kind of work', which also causes serious domestic violence problems, men show that the sexist culture is still in place.\"\nWomen are sometimes the target of violence, often with tragic results, because many men \"base their masculinity on their wage-earning power, even though both men and women have been working and supporting the family for a long time now in Portugal,\" Torres added.\nBetween January and November 2012, 30 women were killed in Portugal by their partners or ex-partners, according to UMAR, one of the largest women's organisations in the country.\nThat makes Portugal the country with the largest number of femicides – gender-related murders – in the European Union, in proportion to the population.\nBut \"working is also a kind of insurance against machismo, in the sense of women being aware that they are making a living and don't need men,\" Torres said.\nSociologist and researcher Sofia Aboim of the University of Lisbon's Institute of Social Sciences said that in the last eight years, the proportion of couples in which the woman is the main breadwinner has risen from two to 16.5 percent.\nIt is \"obvious\" that many men \"have suffered a strong blow to their self-esteem, because their masculinity is traditionally associated closely with supporting the family,\" she wrote in the newspaper Público about the conclusions of a study on the subject.\nAboim said this situation was seen especially in couples with low levels of education and in older couples, especially between the ages of 51 and 65.\nBut Torres said discrimination against women is also deeply rooted among more educated segments of the population, even though \"there are many women with excellent educations - teachers and professors, for instance.\"\nIn general, \"the highest-level posts are filled by men, even though, for example in the academic world, studies show that there is no difference in the production of research or articles. But women are not heads of institutes and are not on the boards of universities, with very few exceptions,\" she said.\nOne big exception is the Centre for Judicial Studies, which provides training for future judges and prosecutors. Because the centre accepts lawyers on the basis of competitive examinations, \"80 percent of those who have been accepted for training as magistrates in the last decade were women, because they scored higher than men.\"\nThe problems plaguing Portugal affect everyone, \"but in the crisis, women face greater difficulties, aggravated in cases in which their husbands are unemployed, because they still have to take everything on their shoulders.\n\"The worst thing about this government (of conservative Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho) is its complete insensitivity and indifference towards the plight of the people,\" Torres said.\nThis is especially serious in Portugal and other countries where sexism is predominant, she said, because \"if a woman has work and her partner does not, she continues to do the housework, unlike what occurs in other places, where men participate in the housework when they are unemployed.\"\n© Inter Press Service (2013) — All Rights ReservedOriginal source: Inter Press Service\nLatest News Headlines\nRead the latest news stories:\n- U.S. Strategy on Water, Development a “Major Advance” Wednesday, May 22, 2013\n- Stressed Ecosystems Leaving Humanity High and Dry Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Organic Cooperative Proves that Agriculture Can Prosper in Cuba Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Indigenous Brazilians Learn to Fight for the Right to Food Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Seeking Justice for Dictatorship Victims – Two Continents Apart Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Tackling Crime Takes on Import As Urban Populations Rise Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Q&A: Guantanamo 'Has No Right to Exist' Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- UNFPA Focuses on Contraception for 222 Million in Developing World Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Caribbean Farming Gets Its Roots Wet Tuesday, May 21, 2013\n- Zimbabwe’s Ruling Party Militias Spread Fear of Voting Tuesday, May 21, 2013", "char_count": 6956, "token_count": 1739, "k_exact": 3.8866, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8054, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "PARKERSBURG - Despite the economic downturn of the past few years and rising and falling fuel prices each year, local officals believe local tourism has responded positively for the most part.\nThe summer season in the Mid-Ohio Valley includes a variety of pubic events, tourism locations and other activities for people living in the local area and those visiting from elsewhere.\nAttendance has remained generally positive for events like the area homecoming festivals, fairs and other events, while attractions like Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park continue to see people interested in visiting.\nDespite rising and falling gasoline prices over the last few years, local tourism attractions and events have reported positive attendance and are looking forward to a good summer this year.\nMatthew Baker recently was named as the new superintendent for Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park. Baker spent the last two years as superintendent of Cooper's Rock State Park near Morgantown and spent the five years prior to that as assistant superintendent at Blennerhassett Island.\nFrom his own experiences, Baker believes increases in fuel costs have actually brought about increases in attendance and usage at the local state parks.\nIn both locations over the past four years, he said he saw fewer out-of-state visitors making use of the parks, but that was offset by an increased usage by in-state residents and those who live in the immediate region.\nBaker believes the \"stay-cation\" trend of the last several years is continuing.\n\"Not only are state parks close to home, they offer very economical activities,\" he said, citing camping as the most common example.\nIn his last two years at Cooper's Rock, which offers camping, Baker said he saw a lot of return visitors, but also saw a lot of new people who have turned away from long-distance vacations to see what is available in their home territory and are giving it a try.\nTeresa Turner, executive director of the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce which organizes the Belpre Homecoming Festival, said she has been finding that people aren't traveling as far, so they are more interested in finding out what is available to do within their local communities and regions.\n\"We haven't really noticed anything being down due to gas prices,\" she said.\nThis year's Belpre Homecoming will be Aug. 2-4 at Civitan Park in Belpre. Turner said attendance has remained positive for the event, even when the economic downturn was at its worst locally about three years ago. While the general recovery has been slow, Turner is expecting that positive trend to continue this year during the summer tourism season.\n\"I think it's going to be a fantastic year,\" she said of this year's homecoming.\nMark Lewis, president of the Greater Parkersburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, said he hasn't seen any specific trends regarding the impact of fuel prices on local tourism and he doesn't think there is enough data at this point. However, one piece of data involving increased hotel stays in the area does seem to be a positive indicator for the local area.\nLewis said the CVB reported there were 17,174 room nights reported for this May compared to 16,289 for May 2011. Year-to-date, room nights through the end of May were 71,122 compared to 64,944 last year, a 9.51 percent increase year to date.\nSince the downturn has been going on for four years, Lewis thinks people are adjusting to the prices. He believes there is a lot of pent-up demand for travel for many people and at this point thinks people are more willing to make travel plans with less concern about fuel costs and similar issues than the past few years.\nHe is optimistic due to the increased room sales for the local season.\n\"We're looking forward to a positive tourism season,\" Lewis said.", "char_count": 3807, "token_count": 951, "k_exact": 4.1756, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.7757, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Many of you reading this are over the age of 27. Why is this important you ask, well of late Gaila and I have been trying hostels to save money. I think the average age is about 22 to 25 but who knows. Haven’t really asked, just observing. But safe to say I have definitely been one of the more “seasoned” guests at all the ones we have stayed at. You know what? Who cares! Truth is we have had very nice stays. Just like we have couchsurfing, camping and cheap hotels. I must admit, some of the hotel stays have been less than pleasant. Some down right disgusting to be perfectly honest. Part of The Bad, if you will.\nWhile writing this I am curled up in a hammock on the Pacific Ocean hugging the Nicaraguan coast just west of Leon. We are doing a weekend stay here at Quartzal Playa Hostel http://playa.quetzaltrekkers.org/ after two awesome nights at Lazybones Hostel http://www.lazyboneshostelnicaragua.com/?lg=En in Leon. I really am liking the vibe. Not only do we have clean and functional rooms, but we are getting for well under $30 for private rooms. If you are willing to do the dorm thing, most are in the $7 to $15 dollars a night range. Best of all however are the locations and the facilities. In Leon it was all about location, patio and pool. Here it is the garden, hammocks and ocean waves. Yes, we change the age curve, but who cares! Most of you are young at heart too and can get a dose of youthful enthusiasm from the 20 something guests. We are.\nWe did a couple in the US and they were fine, but I think our expectations were wrong. Now that we are south of the border these relaxed accommodations seem to fit right in. Now, before you think everyone is wet behind the ears, that is simply not true. Last night we shared the Lazybones with a few German couples that were definitely in their late 50′s or 60′s. Even a family with a small 1 1/2 year old baby were there with us. They, like us were in the private rooms. Our motorcycle friends Mark from Idaho on KLR, Marco from Canada on F650GS single and Pedro from Redmond https://www.facebook.com/pages/Redmond-to-Rio/523014447726275 with his Vstrom DL1000 all elected to do the dorms and save even more money. Since you can’t sleep together those are not the best options for us.\nFour things impress me about the hostel experience:\n1. Better than expected rooms\n2. Super friendly people excited to have interesting conversations (not to mention Gringos)\n3. Cheap food and beverages\n4. They are well connected with the locals and can set you up with good tours, adventures & etc.\nOK, 5 things…just a general sense of happiness and well being. Yes it is true most are backpacking, but even the older folks we met in Honduras and here too all seem to have the same zest for life and inquisitive souls.\nAs such, my advice is this: If you are young hurry up and get out there as the world is waiting for you. If you are middle aged and strapped for cash at the moment and who isn’t, then just go this budget route you will be happy you did. Indeed, at the moment I am sitting between a 30 something couple from North Carolina, 20 somethings from Germany and some 50ish ladies from somewhere TBD. If you are perhaps retired, use this as a way to stretch your financial resources and get a shot of youthful enthusiasm at the same time. All of the hostel hosts have been super gracious and very helpful. Telling us about hidden gems like Canyon Somoto and others. Today is yet another day in paradise and I sure am looking forward to our tree house hostel near Granada. After that, we will be looking for our next deal on Isla de Ometepe (a two volcano island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua) then Costa Rica and Panama! Oooooops, almost forgot to mention hostel in Honduras which is sort of a hotel/hostel/brewery. Seriously, if you get a chance go to D&D Brewery. What a unique place and Bobbie the guy that owns and runs is really excellent.\nHere are some that we have stayed at so far and can fully endorse & recommend:\nLastly, Lonely Planet is full of good suggestions that have been pretty spot on as far as we are concerned.

-{"text": "Blogger: Steve Rowland, Public Affairs Manager\nSpring seemed a long way off last week as I took my lunchtime walk through the woods, the leaves on the trees were yet to unfurl, the ground was bare and covered in a mulch of last autumns dead leaves, and a light, cold wintry rain drizzled down.\nAnd yet I realised that my mind had picked up on the subtle changes in the quality of light and drawing out of the days. I became aware of a slight tightness in my ears, an unconscious straining and heightened alertness to the bird song around me. And I thought that after more Springs as a birder than I care to remember, my brain was quietly and unobtrusively saying to my ears to be alert for couple of unremarkable notes of bird song one up followed repetitively by another down, up and down in short bursts, from a bird that takes its name from these two notes of song, the chiff chaff. (photo below).\nNaming a bird after the sound it makes is known as onomatopoeia and two other species that occur in the UK the cuckoo and the kittiwake also take their names from their calls.\nI will acknowledge here that chiff chaffs are not blessed with the most captivating of names or musical of songs. But for me they compensate for that with the charisma that comes from being the first of our returning migrants to fill our bare Spring woods with their song, perhaps a month before the other returning warblers have got back from a winter spent south of the Sahara.\nChiff chaffs like many of our other warblers, might at a glance appear a little drab and indistinct. In particular at first you might easily confuse a chiff chaff with its close relative the willow warbler. (photo below).\nA rough guide to telling them apart is that a willow warblers legs are a light flesh colour whilst a chiff chaffs are black and a chiff chaffs has a more olive coloured plumage (being a birder you carry a veritable colour palette in your head to describe shades of green and brown feathers).\nBut the surest way to tell these cousins apart is to listen to them singing. Compared to the chiff chaffs repetitive two notes, willow warblers have a to my mind a much nicer song, a lovely tinkling sound that seems to gently descend a set of musical scales before being hauled by the bird back to the top only to descend down them once more.\nWillow warblers arrive from their wintering grounds in Africa a little later in the spring than chiff chaffs which tend to spend the winter in the Mediterranean. So my brain wasn't tipping my ears off to listen out for a willow warbler practicing its scales, but for that starting gun of the season, a simple two note Chiff then Chaff song that would light up the woods and put a smile on my face, a sign of the end of winter and the beginning of natures headlong rush into spring.\nI didn’t hear a chiff chaff last week but I’ll be out again for a lunchtime walk in the woods this week, listening carefully for those two notes. If you have some time to spare over the next week or so why don’t you go out and see if you can hear a chiff chaff and then tell us here.\nPhotos credit John Bridges (rspb-images.com)\nBlogger: Kate Blincoe, Communications Manager\nLook out of your window. The catkins are swaying in the spring breeze, the blue tit is hunting out caterpillars for its young family and an early bumblebee buzzes by. Nature is busy all around us.\nWhat if pound signs were flashing over all these beautiful, natural events? If you look on these living things as paid workers for us then the catkins tree is capturing carbon, the blue tit is performing pest control on your garden and the bumblebee is a professional pollinator. All these creatures are in fact performing tiny actions that in sum, add up to a healthy environment and hence healthy economy. In simple terms, if they didn’t do it for free, we’d have to pay to find a technical replacement.\nLet’s look at some of the massive ways in which we benefit financially from nature. Carefully managed wetlands reduce the risk of flooding to our homes and businesses. Salt marshes, such wonderful habitats, provide protection from sea level rise, acting like big sponges. Forests and peat bogs store carbon for us, helping in the battle against climate change.\nThe list doesn’t end there: It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees pollinating crops. Of course, beautiful places with charismatic wildlife also equal booming tourism and lots of visitor spend – especially in our stunning region.\nWhat about you and me and a walk together in the bluebell woods? Does that have pound signs attached to it? Yes. It will reduce our stress levels, increase our heart rates and hence improve our health. It’s a proven fact that nature is good news for the NHS budgets. For children, time spent in nature can even improve their behaviour and performance at school.\nAs a bit of a nature loving ‘tree hugger’, a part of me screams at this reduction of wonder and marvel to pounds and pennies. Wildlife means so much more than that and has a basic, intrinsic right to exist. I believe that is the case, however, when so many political arguments are made in financial terms, it doesn’t do us any harm to be able to speak that language too.\nIn a troubled economy, the need for a new development or construction project is often justified by saying growth is critical for our financial future. However, if we trash our special habitats and lose incredible species then, even in crude monetary terms, we risk jeopardising so much more than we gain. We overlook the function that the environment plays in our economy at our peril.\nThe bottom line is this: We need nature more than it needs us.\nArticle in Eastern Daily Press on Saturday 10 March 2012.\nPhoto by Mark Sisson (rspb-images.com)\nBlogger: Jane Warren, RSPB in the East Green Team\nAs we edge along towards spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s worth sparing a thought for the climate. Today is the beginning of Climate Change Week (12-18 March), and there are easy ways for us all to get involved. Many of us are already doing our bit, but it’s always good to be reminded! So here are three things to do this week:\nGet cooking with Climate Week cuisine: Make food part of the solution to climate change by eating a low carbon meal during Climate Week. Just follow one or all of these three tips: eat less meat or dairy, eat local and seasonal ingredients, and eat leftovers.\nWalk, cycle or use public transport: Use Climate Week as an opportunity to use more sustainable ways to get to where you are going. Take the train or bus instead of driving. Take advantage of the spring weather (!) and walk or cycle, getting some additional exercise!\nSwap, recycle or upcycle old things: Eliminate waste by finding a second life for things that would otherwise be thrown away. Host an event to swap unwanted items, such as books, toys or clothes, with friends or colleagues. Recycle unusual things like batteries, or electrical goods such as old mobile phones.\nYou can even recycle through Ebay, by taking up the RSPB’s Ebay for charity challenge. Do you have something lurking in a loft, back room, garage or shed? Something that you know has some saleable value but you have never got around to selling? This could be your chance to do just that and step up for nature at the same time! Please do get in touch with suggestions of what you might have to sell, and we can check if it is worth us getting our fabulous Ebay volunteers to sell it on the auction site for us. Please do not send anything to us without checking first and please note that we can’t accept electrical goods! (It’s worth repeating that so that our collector Matt Howard isn’t locked in the cellar as punishment along with the potential deluge of books, CDs, DVDs, autographed Barry Manilow LPs etc.) Matt is looking forward to hearing from you at email@example.com Tel: 01603 697515.\nOur thanks to Climate Week for ideas and tips. Check out their website at www.climateweek.com and get inspired to create a sustainable future!\nBlogger: Gena Correale-Wardle, Community Fundraising Officer\nDo you remember in January when I blogged about the great partnership the RSPB had with Dozen Artisan Bakery and Pulse Cafe Bar, two great independent eateries in Norwich? I bet you’ve been waiting with baited breath to see how we got on....\nWell, today I went to see the lovely manager of Pulse, Helen, as she presented us with a great big cheque (literally – see the photo!) for £86.50. That equates to 173 starters, mains and desserts eaten in aid of the RSPB. Dozen Artisan Bakery sold their field loaves for nature too – another £91 and 91 satisfied tummies and smiles on faces! Wouldn’t it be nice if all fundraising could be that easy?!\nThe lovely people at both outlets also hosted pin badge boxes and gave out lots of leaflets to promote Big Garden Birdwatch, raising awareness of the project as well as raising even more money (over £40) through pin badge donations. A win-win all round!\nWe are really glad to work with such great local, independent businesses in the area and hope we can do more with them in future. We are always looking for ways to get businesses involved throughout the whole of the Eastern England region so if you have any links or want to promote your business and raise money for nature in the process, do get in touch!\nThe money raised will help the RSPB save and protect wildlife supporting schools and families through field teaching programmes and schools visits as well as directly managing habitats for wildlife at our amazing nature reserves.\nThank you to all of you who ate great food and saved nature at the same time. Here’s to more fab little initiatives like this in the future! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.org or call me on 01603 697521.\nBlogger: Adam Murray, Communications Officer\nLast June you may have remembered my Swift, Swallows & House martins - I am a bit clueless blog post, well just as think I have nailed some of my bird ID skills I recently went on my hols to Osea Island.\nWe went as a family with my brother and his gang and spent the time walking the island when the causeway (as seen on the Woman in Black movie) was covered by the tide. The island was a perfect tonic as there were no modern day distractions that seem to fill our free time usually. This meant that we had an excuse of not doing very much at all – just what I needed after the crazy hustle bustle of the RSPB Eastern Region office in Norwich.\nEach day we would spend many hours in wellies walking the island. In the interior we spotted dancing flocks of skylarks, eyeing foxes in the distance and then the adventurers inside us would walk alongside the beaches and salt marshes to circumnavigate our little piece of Essex. If we were lucky enough to get the tides right we would see vast numbers of birds coming into feed or queuing up ready for the seafood frenzy. The rest of my family were happy to spot a “funny looking goose” or distinctive oyster catcher with their carrot beaks. I on the other hand, trained zoologist and bitten by the RSPB bug, realised that I wasn’t just seeing a few species of animals out there on the mud flats but dozens – all ever so slightly different. However, this is my question to you – how on earth are you supposed to tell the difference? I am now going to give it a go. The keen ones amongst you, feel free to correct me, I won’t take it personally ;)\nDunlin: Little fella, grey wings, white belly, slightly curved beak\nTurnstone: Little, black wings, white belly, red legs\nCommon sandpiper: brown body, straight beak, black eye stripe\nCurlew sandpiper: if you squidged the two sandpipers together\nGreen sandpiper: dark, white bellied sandpiper that is not green\nGrey plover: a more speckly version of a turnstone\nCurlew: This one I get, bendy beak and big as a chicken!\nRedshank: Medium sized, red legs and red beak near face\nSpotted redshank: red legs, black top beak, red lower beak\nSo, can you see why I was confused. It doesn't help that when I was reading the information on my RSPB i-phone app it told me that these are the winter plumages of these birds - so as new species come in for the summer I will have to learn this all over again. I did however figure out that the bird call I has associated with the wilds of southern Ireland ( a previous family holiday) was not the charismatic oyster catcher but the close neighbours the curlew.\nI guess the beauty of this whole thing is now, once I get my eye in, I realise how many different species find the eerie and beautiful Essex coast a perfect tonic, just what they need.", "char_count": 12672, "token_count": 3168, "k_exact": 3.5304, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8707, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Companies do sometime make bad decisions. One of the worse bad decision it might bet the company on something that did not pay off. It is part of the risk companies take.\nHowever, when it involves selling off part of the business that you are famous and in the lead for because it is dull and to pursue more sexy business that the company is not in the lead, that will not be sound decision. One knows one is doing it if there is a lot of opposition or surprise when one announces the decision. I call this selling off the crown jewels.\nSo far, of the three examples I heard of in the tech industry, two failed, and one is not doing as well as it would.\nThe first example is Marconi. It decided to sell its defense and wireless equipment business to concentrate on the telecommunication business. That was made at the height of dot-com boom and almost tanked the company when it burst.\nToday we have the second example in HP. When one thinks of HP, one thinks of its test equipment business mainly, followed by electronic parts business. Computers? Not in a million years. When Fiorina tried to sell off the crown jewel to concentrate on computers. That shocked a lot of people. It met opposition from at least one descendent of the company’s founder. Unfortunately for HP, it happened. Today, we heard that it is throwing away the computer business to concentrate on the IT business. That’s a sad situation for a company that sold its crown jewel. Probably the only lucky thing is the spin out company that got HP’s crown jewels, Agilent Technology, is still a leader in the field.\nThe example that is not doing that well is Motorola. It’s well known for its semiconductor business. Telecommunication equipment? We know it exists but a world leader? No. After the spin off the business to Freescale Semiconductor to concentrate on telecommunication, Motorola’s finances were up and down. Unlike Marconi or HP, at least it has its high moment when Motorola Razr was the rage and the spinning off of its crown jewels looks like it might be paying off. Today, like the other two, it is a shadow of itself, having split itself yet again and sold the mobile business to Google recently.\nThe new, diminished HP and Motorola now wants to emulate IBM by concentrating on business computing solution. That field of business computing, i.e., the place I lump consultancy, software writing and large scale computing equipment purchase together, seems to be a favourite dumping ground for companies past its former glory.

Reminds me of my retirement last year.... I just had to walk away from the work world and leave it up to the younger people to figure it all out now. So let all of them and the regulators do the hasseling about this and let us know in about another year or 2 how it turns out. America seems to have fallen in love with regulation, or at least they voted for it in 2008.

Regulation is just wonderful.\nAnd to other posters about the GP taking 50% of the cash flow and then we get the other 50%: we get the declared distribution rate and that's the deal that we pay for. Love it or leave it. If Kmp was selling at half the price, we would then be getting the same rate on our investment as double that 50%. So the fault is the current purchase price....it gives a distributon rate of about 6%. But most anybody knows that the standard rate of return on most business including pipelines is above 10%. Limited partners in our case only get the declared agreed rate depending upon when we purchased the shares.\nfurther, on acceptable distribution rate, if you had bought Kmp like I began doing in 2009 when it was below 50, you would now be getting over 10% rate of return on your investment, more with reinvested shares. That is why the analysts have been saying lately that it is the future growth rate of the rate of pay out that will make the biggest difference in your stock shares.\nRegulations are a neccessary evil. No one likes them, but we can't have a society without them. Would you like Nuclear Industry without NRC? Don't forget defunding of regulatory oversight was the cause of Credit Default Swaps run amock. Look at it as a cost of doing business, you pay for Insurance not because you want to collect on it, but because things happen when there is no one monitoring. Many died operating Boilers till ASME framed rules and regulations, how would you feel if there was no EPA and chemicals dumped to pollute your groundwater. Sadly, we hear the negatives of how regulators prevented progress, but we never hear the catastrophe they prevent. Republicans love to criticise regulations I consider them opportunistic by telling you they do nothing. have we not had enough BANK and FINANCIAL disasters yet?\nThe difference between the Russian nuclear explosion, the Japanese nuclear meltdowns, and Three Mile Island meltdown is levels of regulation.

-{"text": "Jewish World Review August 30, 2002 / 22 Elul, 5762\nhttp://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | If you haven't seen enough footage of the Twin Towers coming down, if you haven't heard enough back-stories of the people who were killed, if you haven't watched enough rock and roll singers and movie stars paying their respects, if you haven't cried enough tears, then stay tuned ... this coming September 11th is for you.\nThere will be memorials...lots of memorials. Every radio and television channel will be honoring those who died last year. The networks will be doing 9-11 shows all day and all night. The cable channels will be going around the clock too. Every single station will be doing something, the Food Network, Court TV, MTV, Turner Classic Movies -- when I say every channel, I mean every channel.\nEvery American city (and most major foreign cities) will be holding some sort of commemoration. There'll be marches, parades, testimonials, candlelight precessions, and moments of silence. There'll be fireworks and stirring patriotic songs. Drivers are being asked to turn on their headlights on the anniversary of that fateful morning. Politicians from the President to township councilmen will be all over the place giving speeches and unveiling memorials.\nWhen I typed \"September 11 Anniversary\" on the Google Internet search, it listed no less than 1,050,000 web sites! You have no idea the scope of 9-11 celebratory events. Every agency in the federal government has something going, not to mention all state and local governments. There are church memorials planed, Jewish memorials, Islamic memorials, even atheist memorials. Homosexual, lesbian and transgenered activities will be held to honor those homosexual, lesbian and transgenered victims of 9-11.\nCelebrities will be doing more specials to honor the victims and the victims' families. Music videos, symphony orchestras, poetry readings and sing-a-longs. There will be even more money collected for the families of the victims (when will there be enough, already?). We will see photos of the victims again. Hear their tragic stories again. We will remember the heroes and honor them again. People will cry again. We are in danger, actually, of drowning in our own tears. Remember September 11th? Has anyone in the world ever stopped remembering? It's good to remember, but maybe it's time to stop crying.\nWe have just had a massive media blitz in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's \"death day.\" This is a relatively new phenomenon. Yes, we have remembered Pearl Harbor on December 7th for decades, but we never embraced it to the extent that we embrace anniversaries of \"death days\" now. Thanks in part to television, we have become a society that wallows in it's tragedies. Even good intentions can be overdone.\nMeanwhile, we get closer to expanding our war on the Islamic terrorists that attacked us one year ago. Vice President Cheney has made it clear that the administration is preparing to liberate Iraq and take out Saddam Hussein. It's about time. In order to destroy terrorist networks like al Qaeda we need to overthrow the regimes that support them. As long as there are terrorist states like Iraq, Iran and Syria -- governments that harbor, train, and encourage terrorists -- we can never expect to completely succeed in our war against terror. The terrorists need to live somewhere -- we must do what is necessary to severely limit their housing options.\nIf we really want to honor the memory of those who were incinerated last year we need to do something truly spectacular -- something that not only shows proper respect for their lives, but also sends a message to the world that all of America has taken their deaths extremely personally. Yes, we need to do something spectacular.\nDo we sing patriotic songs? Do we shoot off fireworks? Do we wave millions of American flags? Do we light 3,000 candles? Do we release 3,000 doves? Do we walk outside and hold hands with our neighbors? Do we weep collectively along with the victims' families? No -- none of the above.\nWe've sung a year's worth of patriotic songs -- we finally know most of them by heart now. We've flown our flags from our homes, our cars, and our businesses until they became tattered and frayed -- then we bought more. We've worn our flag pins on our lapels and our hearts on our sleeves. We've heard the stories of horror and heroism. We've praised the firemen, the police, the military. We've given money to help the victims. We've gotten mad at the terrorists. We've cried and cried and cried. We've cried enough now.\nSo how best to commemorate the first anniversary of the attack on September 11, 2001? How about with a triple-header -- simultaneous bombings of Baghdad, Damascus, and Teheran on September 11, 2002?\nEnjoy this writer's work? Why not sign-up for the daily JWR update. It's free.

-{"text": "So first, my apologies for taking a month to write another post. The end of February was filled with craziness (read: my 32nd birthday) and March got off to a smashing start when I managed to slice my thumb open with a dull boxcutter blade and ended up in the hospital getting stitches. Plus there’s been basketball, and as a University of Kansas alum, it’s something akin to a religious experience.\nThat said, I got the stitches out today, so I popped a bottle of wine when I got home. Here’s what I’m sipping right now:\nRegion: Monterey County, CA\nGrapes involved: Merlot, Cab Sauv and Syrah\nFood pairings: The first thing that comes to mind is a turkey sandwich. You’ll see why. Otherwise, go for something that would work with a slightly sweeter red (*not* a *sweet* red, but an off-dry-ish red), like brie covered in berries or something. Plus, I’ve got this sort of obsession with any kind of Syrah blend and a hunk of fresh mozzarella. I don’t know, it’s just lovely.\nThe wine, if it isn’t apparent in the photo, is a nifty pretty sort of mulberry color, bright and rich and jewel toned. It smells like cherries, carnations, a hint of pepper and lots of berries. It’s a fairly fruit-forward scent - not the raspberry jam bomb of a lot of Zins, but still pretty fruity.\nTasting it, I get cranberry jelly. Absolute, total, no-questions-asked cranberry jelly. Hence the desire to put this with a turkey sandwich: my first few sips made me think of Thanksgiving like woah.* It’s got all the components: tons and tons of bright, tart, very red berry, a hint of clove and allspice, the barest hint of cinnamon, something reminiscent of orange peel. It’s backed up by a hint of vanilla (read: oak), a touch of rose petal and a bit of strawberry and red raspberry. The mouthfeel is soft and luscious and medium-bodied.\nSo this is pretty much the consummate red blend that’s uber-popular right now. It’s bright and fruit-forward, slightly (but not overly) sweet, has very soft tannins, and is possessed of the requisite (sorry, y’all) annoying name.**\n*I missed Thanksgiving last year due to a badly-timed massive stomach bug, the details of which I won’t share here. So thinking of Thanksgiving makes me alternately really happy (because it’s my favorite holiday ever) and slightly sad (because I missed stuffing my facehole with stuffing last year and I still have 8 months to wait before the next Thanksgiving facehole-stuffing extravaganza).\n**I’m not kidding. Red Blends have some positively nonsensical names: Apothic, Hey Mambo, Rex Goliath Free Range Red, and (I wish I were kidding) Yellowtail Sweet Red Roo (y’all, my head about exploded. That said, the label resembles a bright red disco ball, and I am totally on board with that). I never thought I’d love Blackstone for anything, but the fact that they’ve named their red blend nothing more than “Red Blend” makes me adore them right now.", "char_count": 2899, "token_count": 724, "k_exact": 2.9528, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9568, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "\"This makes about 30 pints of mincemeat. Have on hand 30 pint canning jars with brand new rings and lids. Reusing old lids is not recommended. A delicious way to use green tomatoes. The recipe came from my Grandfather, and our family has been making it forever! Use straight from the jar for pies, cookies, muffins etc. You can also use 1 cup of oil instead of the beef suet.\" — April\nWatch video tips and tricks\ngreen tomatoes, minced\nminced, cored apples\ndistilled white vinegar\ncandied mixed citrus peel\norange, peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size\nlemons, finely chopped\nThis is really great! I scaled the recipe back to 4 servings to make and see if we liked. I didn't have any oranges so I put in more lemon. I used it to bake a pie and it was awesome. I plan to make more and freeze it instead of canning. I did cook uncovered for the last hour because it was really juicy.\nI made this recipe today. I have not put it into any baked goods yet, but when I do, I think I will be inclined to mix it with store-bought mincemeat. The smell is lovely, but it did not cook up like I expected. The texture is more like \"real\" mincemeat, which is how my family refers to mincemeat with meat in it. I found the recipe difficult to figure out, as per my earlier posting. Weight for the tomatoes and apples would have been much more helpful. I had no idea how many to use. In the end, I went with what my soup pot could hold. I used 3 kilos of tomatoes and 3 kilos of apples. I cut everything else in half except the raisins. I used all the raisins. When I saw how full it was at that point, I cannot imagine what size pot one would need for twice as many apples and tomatoes. I also added about 1/2 lb currants and 1 lb each of red cherries and green cherries. We'll see how it bakes up in tarts or muffins. If I have any further tips after I do that, I will post again.\nThis is just like my mother's recipe which I lost! Thank you for posting so I can make mince again. I use butter instead of suet. Great way to use up green tomatoes!\nWhat a great recipe! I had an abundance of green tomatoes and didn't want to fry all of them or let them go to waste. I love mincemeat pie and will love giving jars of mincemeat for Christmas. I scaled it back to 40 servings, and used all of the ingredients called for. I sampled it before I canned and am anxious to make a pie come Thanksgiving or Christmas. It may need a little thickening before putting in a pie as filling.\nThis is a great recipe for using up the last of your tomatoes that won't ripen by the end of the gardening season. It is great as a pie filling but we like it as a pancake, waffle,or ice cream topping too. ******You don't HAVE to add the suet to this recipe and it is still great.****** I am not opposed to adding suet,it is just my personal choice and it keeps the recipe vegan friendly.\nThis is great stuff. I adjusted the recipe to the amount of my tomatoes for a total yield of 13 pints. Chose to use butter rather than suet. I made this 6 weeks ago and have made two pies with it in the last week (testing for the holidays). For a more traditional flavor, added a shot of brandy to the second pie. Again, this is great stuff. Thanks!\nMy tomato plants got caught by the frost, and I was left with \"tons\". I used the calculator to cut it in half and got 14 pint jars. I used the suet, and added a lb. of currants.I was very, very pleased with the flavour and plan on giving some away for Xmas gifts. I have a meat grinder, and put everything through the meat chopper using a 3/8\" blade. It was perfect. I boiled it the 3 hrs. and then processed in a boiling water bath. Don't be afraid to try it!\nWow! I made this yesterday omitting the suet and candied fruit, since neither was readily available. Instead, I added a bit of fresh ginger and some orange peel granules I found at our coop.\nThen today, I tried it out on a pie. I was concerned it was a bit runny, so I added 2 T of tapioca, a diced apple and a handful of raisins. I have made pies all of my life, and I truly think this is my favorite. Thanks for posting the recipe.\nI only made a quarter recipe since I wasn't sure how it would come out, but I'll definitely be making a bigger batch next weekend.\n* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.\nGreen Tomato Mincemeat\nServing Size: 1/120 of a recipe\nServings Per Recipe: 120\nAmount Per Serving\nCalories from Fat: 18\nThis green tomato relish is a perfect sidekick to sandwiches or entrees.\nSee a terrific tomato preparation for sauces, stews, soups, and chili.\nFresh homemade tomato sauce is easy and deeply flavorful.", "char_count": 4611, "token_count": 1152, "k_exact": 1.8743, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7458, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The Commonwealth of Virginia abolished parole and reformed sentencing for all felony offences committed on or after January 1, 1995. To examine the impact of Virginia’s change in legislation on reported crime rates from 1995 onwards, we perform an intervention time series analysis based on structural time series models. We empirically find that the change in legislation has significantly reduced the burglary rates and to a lesser extent the murder rates in Virginia. For other violent crimes such as rape and aggravated assault the evidence of a significant reduction in crime rates is less evident or is not found. This empirical study for Virginia also provides an illustration of how an effective intervention time series analysis can be carried out in crime studies.\n|Item Type||Reports/Papers (Discussion Paper)|\n|Creators||Vujić, S., Commandeur, J. and Koopman, S.

-{"text": "After speaking with Matt Kenseth via phone on Wednesday afternoon, I feel like I have a better grasp on why he made the decision to leave Roush Fenway Racing for a yet-to-be-named team (likely Joe Gibbs Racing).\nWhile Kenseth can't or won't say everything that led to his decision, he was very forthcoming about the details he felt he could talk about.\nHere are some common questions from you and a few answers that might help you understand the move:\nKenseth doesn't have a full-time sponsor at Roush this year and might not have had one next year. Was stability the reason he left?\nThe stability of just having a job and staying in the sport ranks \"almost on the bottom\" of his priority list, Kenseth said.\n\"Winning races and trying to race for championships is on the top of my list, because you never know how long you can do this stuff,\" the 40-year-old said. \"You never know when your last race is or your last lap is or your last win is or any of that.\"\nReading between the lines on everything that's happened, it seems like the decision to leave was Kenseth's -- though it certainly doesn't hurt Roush to move one of its younger, cheaper drivers in Ricky Stenhouse Jr. up the ladder into the Sprint Cup Series.\nIf Kenseth is having such a solid year and leading the points, why did he go looking for another team?\nHe didn't. Other teams knew Kenseth was a free agent who was unsigned past this season, and the driver said he was approached by one who had an opportunity that intrigued him. As recently as a month or two ago, Kenseth planned on being at Roush for his entire career -- just as team owner Jack Roush said he did.\nWhen he got the initial phone call expressing interest, Kenseth said he didn't think, \"Yeah, that's what I'm going to do for sure.\"\n\"But after some talking and getting to know some people and some things that were happening, I think it just felt like it was the right thing to do,\" he said. \"You look back and you're like, 'Oh man, I hope this is right.' But I felt really strongly it was the right thing to do and that was the place for me and the time to go do that. And I still feel like that.\"\nWas there a behind-the-scenes argument at Roush that we don't know about?\nNot according to Kenseth, who said he knows the lack of \"one great reason\" makes it harder for reporters and fans to understand his decision.\n\"It's a combination of a lot of things and timing,\" he said. \"There's nobody that was mad. There wasn't a fight, there wasn't a disagreement or somebody not doing something. There wasn't really any of that. I know that doesn't sound like a good answer, but that's really the truth.\"\nKenseth said there was \"no resistance from anywhere,\" and that it felt like all the pieces just fell into place for his move to happen. It certainly helped Kenseth to know Roush wanted to get Stenhouse Jr. into a Cup car.\n\"I really think things happen for a reason and things line up like that sometimes,\" he said. \"When they do, that's how it was meant to go – and that's what happened here.\"\nOK, but this is all about the money, right?\nKenseth has always been sensitive about his contract situation and won't discuss financial details. And this year, it's worth noting, Kenseth wouldn't even publicly acknowledge his free agent status.\nIf he was going for a big payday, he perhaps could have used the media to gain leverage -- either with Roush or potential suitors -- but instead, he kept quiet about it the whole time.\nSources told SB Nation that Kenseth might actually be taking a pay cut with his new team rather than scoring a bigger deal. If he'd remained at Roush, though, he may have gotten even less due to the sponsorship situation there.\nRoush will save millions per year by signing Stenhouse Jr. instead of Kenseth, which will lower the price point for sponsorship.\nWhy can't Kenseth and his new team (again, likely JGR) just announce their deal now? Are there sponsorship concerns still to be worked out?\nKenseth said he simply couldn't talk about the details of where he's headed in 2013, even the reasons why an announcement can't be made yet. He said the news will be made public \"hopefully sooner than later\" and all sides had already reached an agreement, including his new sponsors.\n\"Everything is set; everything is in place,\" he said. \"I think we're good there. I feel good about '13 and beyond. I don't think it's any of that.\"\nThe driver said his new team -- which he called \"another very winning organization\" -- is a good fit for him and he believes he can be successful there.\nIsn't Kenseth getting kind of old to start over with a new team?\nNot at all. Though Kenseth is 40, that's not old for a race car driver. Tony Stewart just won the championship at 40 last year, and Mark Martin is still racing competitively at age 53.\nKenseth said Wednesday it's impossible to say right now how much longer he plans to race.\n\"I just don't know,\" he said. \"And by saying 'I don't know,' I feel like that means I'm so far away from the end or when I want to walk away that I can't even fathom when that is. I sure hope to be driving for a long time.\"\nWhy can't the media just respect Kenseth's decision and leave him alone?\nKenseth knew there were questions about his move and wanted to fulfill interview requests for as many reporters as possible. It was his decision to talk for so long.\nHe spent three straight hours on Wednesday afternoon doing phone interviews with 13 different reporters and answering mostly the same questions the entire time.\nI'm still confused. Will all the details about Kenseth's decision come out eventually?\nNot if the driver has his way.

When looking back over the years at earlier passive components and assemblies, it is not so much the pure electrical performance that is striking as much as the advances in packaging that have taken place over that time.\nIn 1980, for example, one of the leading suppliers of microwave mixers, Watkins-Johnson of Palo Alto, CA, made news with their M4 series of flatpack mixers. The products included the model WJ-M4A with local-oscillator (LO) and RF range of 10 to 1500 MHz and intermediate-frequency (IF) range of DC to 1000 MHz.\nDuring the same time period, a company still going strong, Mini-Circuits, was selling coaxial power dividers for only $39.95 each. The firm's ZAPD line of power dividers included models from 0.5 to 1.0 GHz, 1.0 to 2.0 GHz, and 2.0 to 4.2 GHz (Fig. 1). The insertion loss was 0.2 dB for all models, still considered good today.\nAnother company still going strong, ARRA, Inc., of Westbury (now Bay Shore), NY, offered a line of miniature continuously variable attenuators in 1968. Available for applications from 2.0 to 12.4 GHz, the attenuators handled 5 W average power and 3 kW peak power with maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB.\nAn article in March 1968 by members of the technical staff of the Microwave Department of Sylvania Electric Products, Inc. of Woburn, MA detailed how a new type of diode, the beamlead Schottky barrier diode (Fig. 2), appeared to be a more electrically efficient device than point-contact diodes for frequency-conversion applications. The article compared the performance characteristics of both semiconductor devices, and showed how a microwave mixer could be formed using a beam-lead Schottky diode pair (Fig. 3).\nAround the same time, Bill Marshall, Switch Marketing Manager for Transco, demonstrated his firm's modular approach to waveguide switch assemblies (Fig. 4). Using a variable waveguide switch design, the assemblies performed transmitter switching to 18 GHz under full-power operation. They provided switching speed of better than 50 ns.\nThe Micro State Electronics Operation of Raytheon in Murray Hill, NJ was working with advanced stripline, leading to the group's development of a switch/driver assembly for applications from 1020 to 1100 MHz (Fig. 5). It achieved hot switching of 10 kW peak power in only 150 ns.\nFor those who doubted digital technology existed five decades ago, Daico Industries offered a pair of digital variable attenuators with integral TTL (model DA0295) and CMOS (model DA0285) drivers. Switching under 7-b control, the digital attenuators (Fig. 6) provided 63.5-dB attenuation control ranges from 30 to 500 MHz with least significant bit (LSB) of 0.5 dB. They could handle input power levels to +13 dBm with nominal switching speed of 5 s.\nLast but not least, Systron Donner was among a group of companies promoting their capabilities in \"supercomponents.\" These were essentially compact assemblies that combined the functions of multiple components. One of the company's supercomponents was an assembly designed for X-band radar (Fig. 7), with a low-noise mixer and Gunn diode LO. The LO provided a 40-MHz tuning range around 9.375 GHz.", "char_count": 3315, "token_count": 828, "k_exact": 2.6998, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9292, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Business Pundit has a post today about a new auction site named jittery.\nOne thing BusinessPundit mentions is that the new site will have a\n\"Buy Offer\" feature, which I believe gave him the idea in the first place. Basically, instead of buyers competing over an item and raising the price, buyers specify what they want to buy, which features are important, what prices they want to pay, and sellers compete to give them the best deal.\nI am extremely skeptical that this would work. As background, I ran the marketplace portion of Mercata, that similarly tried to bring a different, more buyer focused model to table and failed fairly spectacularly. We found that you can be as innovative as you want, but you need a lot of traffic to your site, and building such traffic takes a lot of time or a lot of money or both. You also need to provide a value proposition for both buyers AND sellers.\nA LOT of people have tried some sort of reversal of the auction process, where buyers specify the goods they want and sellers bring them to the table, bidding against each other (ie lower and lower prices) to get the business. FreeMarkets made some hay with this in the B2B world, but from the beginning the auctions were never really the money maker, but were a Trojan horse for supply chain consulting, which helps to explain why they merged with Ariba.\nThe only people to make this model work in the consumer area is Priceline. However, what most people fail to realize about Priceline is that it fulfilled a real business need for SELLERS, even more than for buyers.\nAirlines have a classic fixed cost pricing problem. They want to sell as many tickets at a high price as possible, but an incremental passenger costs them nothing, so if the plane is not full, getting even $50 for a passenger to fill an empty seat at the last minute is profitable to them. The problem is somehow offering the $50 fare only to the passenger who would not fly otherwise, and not cannibalizing the customers who are willing to pay $300.\nThe problem is, if they offer the $50 fare to anyone, they can't hide the fact very well. The airline industry, as most know, have very transparent computer systems that let everyone know their prices on every route every minute of the day. If an airline cuts prices on a route, everyone knows - so that competitors can match the cut immediately and customers can switch from the higher to lower fairs. Airlines protect themselves somewhat with limited availability of certain fares and advanced purchase requirements - so that people, particularly business travelers, who need to maintain flexibility, have a reason to pay higher fares.\nHowever, advanced purchase requirements were not providing enough protection. What airlines really wanted was a way to cut fares for one person who might not have flown otherwise, and let no one else see them do it. And Priceline was the answer. Yes, airlines had to tell the Priceline computers what the lowest bid they would accept from a customer for a flight was, but this did not constitute an official price that went into the reservation systems. So, the airlines could cut their price (via Priceline), but only the customer who got the price ever saw it.\nIn fact, the story is even better. At the time Priceline came around, one airline had a particular problem they needed to solve. When TWA got a loan from Carl Icahn, an almost unnoticed part of the deal was that a certain travel agency owned by Icahn, small at the time, would be guaranteed TWA tickets at a healthy discount off the lowest published fares. This agency, with this boondoggle, grew to enormous size as Lowestfare.com. TWA, beyond the reasons listed above, therefore had a second reason for not wanting to publish their lowest possible fare. Normal limitations that most airlines could set on how many seats would be available at their lowest fare could not be enforced by TWA. If they offered a new $100 fare, Lowestfare.com could blow out an unlimited number of tickets at $80 or less and TWA would have to accept it. Therefore, by offering discounts unpublished via Priceline, TWA prevented the travel agency from getting inventory even cheaper. And so, a huge portion of the early Priceline inventory was TWA. (ironically, after the American Airlines acquisition of TWA killed the deal, the Lowestfare.com URL was bought by ... Priceline.\nAnyway, I just don't see how reverse auctions can work in the consumer world, particularly if the customers are allowed to specify price and quality and features, etc. The transaction costs for suppliers would be just too high wading through this stuff -- in fact, many companies in the B2B world, where transaction sizes are in the millions, have come to this same conclusion - for a variety of reasons, they are choosing not to participate in reverse auctions (here too).\nMarketplaces must offer value to both buyer and seller. If you don't offer honest value to sellers, then no products appear on the site and it will fail.\nBasically, there are two gorilla's in the online marketplace arena - eBay and Amazon. eBay had the head start in building a brand and community in the marketplace space, but Amazon has brought some really nifty technology to the table.\nAs a user of both, I welcome a new competitor, sortof. I hope that there will be competitors who force eBay to adopt some overdue new features (e.g. auction sniping protection and better search features on past auctions) but I don't really want any to be successful enough to create a third or fourth or fifth major platform out there, because that just increases my search costs and time when I want to buy something.\nI missed pointing out one bit of irony. The Internet is generally attractive to consumers because it increases product information, and particularly increases knowlege about market pricing. However, in this case, Priceline's attractiveness to airlines was that it decreased pricing transparency in the market.\nWelcome Carnival of the Capitalists readers.

-{"text": "This sophisticated, medium-bodied white was aged for 11months in French oak and offers elegant yet concentrated notes of pink grapefruit, lemon/lime zest and slightly under ripe Golden apples. Its supple and polished texture is framed by racy acidity and notes of flint, meal and lanolin.\nEstablished in 1944, this benchmark estate has produced wines of elegance and finesse for over half a century. Founded by Mick Brajkovich, his wife Kate and son Mate, this 74 acre property is located in Kumeu, a subregion of the Auckland wine district on New Zealand’s North Island. The winery is currently managed by Mate’s wife, Melba and their children, Marijana, Michael, Milan and Paul. Marijana manages the financial and accounting side of the business, Milan oversees vineyard management and viticulture, Paul runs sales and marketing and Michael is the winemaker. Although the winery is situated well north of New Zealand’s other viticultural regions, its proximity to the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean ensures a moderate, maritime microclimate. The clay and underlying sandstone base soils of the area have superior water retention qualities, thereby eliminating the need for irrigation. All vines are grown in a sustainable manner and to take advantage of the long growing season are trained on a “Lyre” trellis. During harvest, the grapes are picked by hand and sorted in the vineyard. Michael was New Zealand’s first Master of Wine and 2012 marks his 31st consecutive vintage with Kumeu River. Not content to rest on his laurels, this humble winemaker perpetually searches for ways to improve his wines. Through trial and error, he has developed a regimen that includes whole cluster pressing, minimal use of new oak, wild yeast fermentation, completion of malolactic fermentation and extended barrel aging sur lie. Kumeu River was also the first winery in New Zealand to bottle exclusively in screw cap closures. The family’s hard work and commitment to the Brajkovich legacy has been duly recognized – their Chardonnays are considered amongst the best in the world and they have been consistently named in the Top 100 Wines of the world by Wine Spectator. Kumeu River wines balance wonderful raciness with great concentration and structure – a characteristic that has become the hallmark of this emblematic estate.\n|Kumeu River Wines was established in 1944 in the small country settlement of Kumeu, about 20 km northwest of Auckland.\nAt Kumeu River Wines, the winemaking philosophy is simple. We endeavour to grow grapes of the highest standard and then treat them with respect when we turn them into wine. In this way the potential quality is maximised, and we are able to produce wines that are truly representative of our land.\nTo this end, yields are kept low to improve the concentration of aromas and flavours in the grapes, and we harvest all of our grapes by hand. The white grapes are all whole-bunch pressed, which is time-consuming but gives us the best quality results. The reds are destemmed and crushed gently before being transferred to fermentation tanks. No yeasts are added.\nOak barrels from France play a significant, but never dominant, role in our wines. The white wines undergo fermentation in barrels, and the flavour nuances that are derived from this phase are crucial to these fine wine styles. The red wines are fermented for a prolonged period in stainless steel tanks, but they are also later matured in oak barrels to promote the development of bouquet and to soften the tannin structure of the palate. These are wines of great flavour intensity and complexity, but also with subtlety and elegance, and the potential to develop with further age.\nWe promote the malo-lactic fermentation in both our red and white wines. This bacterial transformation reduces and softens the acidity, and rounds out and complexes the flavour.\nThe Brajkovich Family is committed to ensuring that all Kumeu River wines are not only properly and correctly produced, but also possess characters of aroma and flavour that give our customers a great deal of drinking pleasure.", "char_count": 4088, "token_count": 1022, "k_exact": 2.7484, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9291, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Last time I checked, which was yesterday morning, not only was the United States not at war with Pakistan, but Pakistan had finally reached a truce with Maulvi Nazir, which had the promise of finally stabilizing portions of North Wazirstan with its attendant benefits of stabilizing the tribal regions in a way that might have also brought a political solution to Afghanistan. OK, Nazir was a no-goodnik and he didn’t like most Americans (who does?), but he was fast becoming a force of stability for one or our allegedly allied nations. Oh, and collateral damage of 12 people too, let’s not forget that.\nI know that the people on this blog who used to argue that Congress did not give W a blank check for the war in Afghanistan apparently intended to give a blank check to Obama, who was still working through the Peter Principle at the time (2001) to attack and kill criminal suspects in Pakistan. But did Congress really intend Obama to have the power to kill someone working with one or our allies, which happens not only to be experiencing growing frustration and anger with Americans, but which also possesses nuclear weapons and has deferred from nuclear proliferation partly out of goodies received from its American ally? And whatabout the credible argument that for every questionable militant killed by a drone Obama is creating 100 more recruits?\nI’d like those folk who support Obama to explain this foreign policy to me–where Obama has the power to continue killing people in Pakistan over the objections of the allied government, and why this policy makes any political, military, legal or ethical/moral sense.

-{"text": "US reviews Mediterranean military presence\nRegional instability could drive increased attention\nSenior U.S. military officials are considering increasing the American military presence in the Mediterranean because of what they see as growing instability in recent months.\n\"This is post-Benghazi,\" one military official told CNN. \"We're looking at instability in Libya, Egypt, Syria and now Israel and Gaza.\"\nThe official who has direct knowledge of the discussions declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information.\nThe Pentagon is looking at a number of options, according to military officials. The easiest would be to extend deployments of Navy ships passing through the region.\nThe Navy just extended by at least 10 days the tour of three amphibious ships carrying more than 2,000 Marines, Harrier jets, V-22 tilt rotor aircraft and a variety of helicopters, as CNN first reported last week.\nThose tours were extended as a result of the conflict in Gaza as a precautionary measure should there have been a need to evacuate Americans from Israel. A cease-fire was reached on Wednesday after a week of violence.\nThe Pentagon is focusing on the eastern Mediterranean, where the ships will stay, the military official told CNN.\n\"From there, you can get to a lot of places in a short period of time,\" he said. \"What we are looking at is what is our presence in the region and what should it be.\"\nThe Navy also previously announced that four warships capable of providing ballistic missile defense will now be based at Rota, Spain, putting them closer to potential threats from Syria and Iran. They are the USS Ross, the USS Donald Cook, the USS Carney and the USS Porter. Four other ships are stationed off the coast of Israel as a hedge against any ballistic missile launch from Iran.\nShort of being ordered into combat, the Navy is looking to beef up its presence in order to conduct humanitarian assistance missions and training exercises with other nations in the region, the sources said.\nBut clearly more ships and aircraft also give the military an increased capability to evacuate Americans from a hotspot or put forces on the ground to conduct security operations to protect embassies.\nThe developments come amid increasing concern about weapons being smuggled into Gaza. U.S. and Israeli officials say some of those weapons are coming from Libya where arms stashes have been ransacked after the fall of Moammar Gadhafi.\nA U.S. official told CNN that the current assessment by the intelligence community is that surface to air missiles from Libya have made their way into Gaza after being smuggled through Egypt.\nCopyright 2012 by CNN NewSource.

He may have been cold, but he was dry.\nThe field at Yankee Stadium remained uncovered three hours before the scheduled 7:57 p.m. ET first pitch of Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on FOX, as a threatening forecast appeared to be holding off and increasing hopes that there would be baseball in the Bronx.\n\"When I looked this morning, it looked grim,\" Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. \"Now I look at it and I think we've got a pretty decent shot of playing. I know the percentages went down. It seems like it might be like it was yesterday.\"\nGirardi and Angels manager Mike Scioscia are scheduled to meet with representatives from Major League Baseball at 7 p.m. to discuss the forecast for Saturday's game. The two clubs fit in nine innings of action on Friday, with the Yankees defeating the Angels, 4-1, despite raw conditions.\nThe Yankees opened the gates for Game 2 as scheduled at 4:30 p.m. ET.\nIn the event that Game 2 could not be played on Saturday, an effort would be made to play the contest on Sunday before both clubs travel across the country. Game 3 of the ALCS is scheduled to be played at 4:13 p.m. ET on Monday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.\nAs of 7:30 p.m., Weather.com -- the official Web site of the Weather Channel -- had raised the chance of precipitation to 55 percent for the first pitch of Game 2, with temperatures around 47 degrees and northeast winds at 15-25 mph. The chances of precipitation jumped to 60 percent at 10 p.m. and 70 percent overnight.\nThe National Weather Service continues to predict that Game 2 will see a 100 percent chance of precipitation, with a low around 41 degrees and a northeast wind between 14 and 20 mph, and gusts as high as 33 mph. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half-inch are possible.\nAccuWeather.com was predicting a 67 percent chance of precipitation between the hours of 7 and 10 p.m. on Saturday, with a light, intermittent rain and drizzle becoming steadier rain as game time nears.\nThe scheduled starting pitchers for both clubs -- Joe Saunders for the Angels and A.J. Burnett for the Yankees -- are aware of the forecasts and the possibility that they may wind up pitching on Sunday instead of Saturday, or enduring a delay of some length.\n\"For us, it's just a matter of taking care of business, and whatever the weather throws at us, we have to deal with it, just like the Yankees have to deal with it,\" Saunders said. \"They're just as cold as we are.\"\n\"The weather is not going to be a factor,\" Burnett said. \"And if I need an extra day because of the weather, I'll do what I have to do to be ready for Sunday.\"\nIn the event of a postponement, Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo said that the tickets for Game 2 would be honored when that game is played. For example, if Saturday's game is pushed to Sunday, the tickets would be accepted at Yankee Stadium gates then.\nMajor League Baseball has made no official announcement as of yet concerning a start time if Game 2 were to be moved to Sunday.\nThe Yankees have invited all fans interested in weather updates concerning future home games to check out Yankees.com/weather.\nBryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com.

-{"text": "by Ted Manna\nAmerican Reporter Correspondent\nColorado Springs, Colo.\nSeptember 7, 2008\nPALIN: OUT OF THE PLANE AND INTO THE FIRE\nCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 6, 2008-- This is how it starts, this elaborate electoral dance with the country's voters. Republican candidate for president Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin stepped off their brightly-lit Straight Talk Air chartered jet last night, into a cool mist visible in the blazing headlights of the happy caravan that waited to carry them straight toward their date with destiny - Election Day.\nIt won't be cool and misty around Gov. Palin for long, however.\nThe campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has already sc`ored her for attracting some $300 in earmarks for every man, woman and child in Alaska - compared to the national average of $30 per person in other states.\nShe quickly struck back on Saturday, though, saying Sen. Obama had won more than abillion dollars in earmarks for hi Illinois constituency. \"Just wait till John McCain puts a stop to that,\" she said. McCain pleaded in his acceptance speech last Thursday night to end the coveted earmarks that cost American taxpayers billions of dollars each year but individually benefit just a few in their home states.\nThe long-distance exchange as she related it was nonetheless enough to spark wild cheers and applause from an appreciative audience. In the words of one campaign worker, she \"has ignited this campaign like a California wildfire.\"\nThe nominees brought their \"Road to Victory Rally\" to this Rebublican bastion in the shadow of the mighty Pikes Peak Friday afternoon, and the 10,000 tickets distributed didn't come close to meeting the demand.\nThe 85,000 voices cheering for the Democrats' presidential pick, Sen. Barack Obama, 60 miles north in Denver, had barely died away before the reverberations of McCain's stunning vice-presidential selection reached the Rocky Mountains.\nIn this sprawling city at the foot of the Rockies that is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy and widely known for its conservative voters, Palin took the occasion to blast Sen. Joe Biden, who has said she will be a \"formidable\" opponent in upcoming vice-presidential debates despite little experience to compare to Biden's 30 years in Congress, where he chairs the Senate Foreign Relations committee.\nThe rally was a remarkable contrast to one a near here a month ago, when McCain stood before just 300 workers at a Colorado company to ask for their votes. After his startling choice of a running mate seized the media spotlight, this afternoon to an overflow crowd of 13,000, and many more were turned away for lack of space.\nAs thousands waved American flags inside a cavernous hangar, Palin called Sen. Biden \"a fine man\" but one flawed by his Establishment ties, according to Newsday.\n\"Senator Biden can claim many chairmanships across many, many years in Washington. He certainly has many friends in Washington's establishment,\" Palin said.\n\"But most of his admirers,\" she said, \"would not call him an agent of change.\" But, she said, \"Senator McCain has called us a ticket of mavericks.\"\nThis was the third stop together in the 72 hours since McCain accepted hia party's highest accolade in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn., the site of the Republican National Convention, after brief stops in Wisconsin and Chicago.\nBarely pausing at the top of the stairway of the campaign plane \"Straight Talk Express,\" McCain, accompanied by his wife Cindy, and Alaska's Gov. Palin, were loaded into a waiting black SUV and their accompanying entourage quickly sped off.\nFlanked by U.S. Secret Service vehicles, local police cruisers and motorcycles, the motorcade's flashing lights flared briefly, not even causing a ripple on the Ronald Reagan Highway, the name given to Interstate 25 in staunchly Republican El Paso County - home to the evangelical Christian congregation Focus on the Family's and former GOP presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo.\nIt's probably not coincidence that the first major stop on the campaign trail was here, the home of McCain's most vocal detractors in the GOP ranks. Rev. James Dobson, who heads Focus on the Family has stated previously he would not support the Arizona senator's presidential bid, but that stance softened sowmewhat after the convention. The strong conservative base is sure to jump on the Palin bandwagon however, given her opposition to abortion and contraceptives in high schools.\nThe campaign did not respond to The American Reporter's query on the timing or location of the first stop on the Road to Victory tour, but it is sure to benefit from media coverage of scores of adoring Palin fans, who themselves are reminiscent of the kind of attention Obama first generated here in his primary battle.\nThe allure of the first women Republican vice-presidential candidate seems to match the response to the country's first African-American nominee for President.\nJoe Shea contributed to this story from Florida.", "char_count": 4987, "token_count": 1246, "k_exact": 3.3296, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9035, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "What can you do to create a healthier personal environment?\nAssess your nest.\nWorking with a home inspector, public health professional, contractor, or other construction expert as a guide, ask yourself some questions to evaluate your current house or apartment's environmental health:\n- Are you free of the \"big three?\" Radon, mold, and lead are all common home toxins. Radon testing is widely available, and best practices exist in new construction to minimize radon entry into the property. Check for moisture problems that act as hotbeds for mold growth, and look into mold testing if necessary. Finally, lead is present in many older homes' paint and pipes. Call your local public health department for information on testing for and eliminating lead in your home.\n- How well-ventilated is your home? While solid construction decreases your home's energy loss, a home that is too airtight can seal in indoor air pollutants. Proper ventilation also helps control moisture and reduce risk of mold and other environmental health concerns. Simple fixes to increase ventilation include installing ceiling fans and operable skylights and windows.\n- Does your landscaping contribute to your environmental health? Large lawns traditionally require greater pesticide use, and increase air and noise pollution generated from mowing. Consider planting perennial groundcovers, native foliage, or other low-maintenance landscaping. Even better, landscape with edible plants and devote a portion of your yard to organic vegetable gardening.\nBefore you rent or begin new construction, consider these additional questions:\n- Will your new space support recycling/reuse with storage space for cans, bottles, paper, and other items?\n- What is your potential home's proximity to major noisemakers like airports, railroad tracks, or highways?\n- What will keep you warm? Although most mainstream commercial insulations are considered safe, check out some healthy alternative insulation, including those made with recycled denim and other cloth, wool, icynene and nanogel.\n- How big is your planned home? Small is good. A well-planned home with less square footage uses fewer building and maintenance resources.\nClear the air.\nConsider these steps toward improving indoor air quality:\n- In your home, radon and mold tend to be the most serious barriers to indoor air quality. Relatively inexpensive tests exist to assess your home's mold and radon levels.\n- The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offers guidelines about common workplace air quality complaints, which usually focus on temperature, humidity, lack of outside air ventilation or smoking. Find out more .\n- For employees in farming and industrial fields, on-the-job outdoor air quality is also a concern. Each state has a department of environmental health within its main health department that can advise workers and employers on outdoor air quality regulations. To find your state's health department, visit the Centers for Disease Control site.\n- If you smoke, stop. If you live with someone who smokes, insist on a strict outdoor smoking policy. Approximately 3,000 American adults die of lung cancer each year due to secondhand smoke exposure. In young children, secondhand smoke increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and asthma.\nKnow your H20.\nIncrease your water quality with these tips:\n- The longer water has been sitting in pipes, the more lead it may contain. Run or \"flush\" your tap for up to two minutes, depending upon how long it's been between uses.\n- Since hot water is more likely to contain lead, only drink, cook and make baby formula with cold water.\n- The only way to be totally certain about your home's water quality is to have it tested. This is especially important for people in high-rise buildings, where \"flushing\" the pipes may not be as effective. Your local water supplier, health department or university can offer information about credible testing resources.\n- Water filters have been shown to increase purity. Filters can range from simple pitcher-based systems to more elaborate reverse-osmosis home units.\n- Remember that bottled water is not necessarily of higher quality than regular tap water. And according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, 60 million plastic bottles a day are manufactured, transported and then disposed of in U.S. landfills, compromising your community's environmental health.\nGreen your cleaning.\nAre your cleaning products messing up your health? While we're far from knowing the health impact of all chemicals used in cleaning agents, you can easily (and very inexpensively) create your own house-healthy cleaners. Some tips:\n- Mix either vinegar or baking soda with warm water in a spray bottle, and you've got an effective, all-purpose cleansing agent.\n- Bypass commercial air deodorizers, many of which contain formaldehyde. Instead, add cinnamon, essential oils, cloves, or any herbs you like to a pan of boiling water, and let the sweet steam deodorize.\n- On laundry day, reach for Borax (sodium borate). This natural mineral acts as a stain-remover, bleach alternative and detergent booster. Baking soda can remove stains and deodorizes, and cornstarch absorbs greasy stains and starches your clothing. Lemon juice can also double for bleach.\n- Salt (sodium chloride) is a mild abrasive for cleaning bathrooms and kitchens.\n- Consider hiring a \"green\" cleaning service, or ask your traditional housekeeper to use the methods and products you find healthiest.\nIncrease your chemical awareness.\nWhile it's impractical to try to have no contact with chemicals, you can reduce your chemical exposure in relatively simple ways:\n- Some beauty products contain chemicals that are anything but pretty. For example, nail polish, body lotions, and perfumes often contain phthalates, a controversial substance linked to birth defects in animals and possibly humans. Shampoos that attack dandruff might also play havoc on your health; the active ingredient selenium sulfide is a neurotoxin and possible carcinogen. Hair dyes often have coal tar, another chemical linked to cancer. So read labels, and choose a product that will be as lovely for your health as it is for your appearance.\n- Don't create toxic trash. If you're tossing old medications, resist flushing them down the toilet, where they can invade water supplies. Also consider calling your local recycler, many of which accept old cleaning products, paint, oil and other chemicals that create even more treacherous landfills.\n- Be sure to air out your garments after a trip to the drycleaners. Dry cleaning employs a chemical called perchloroethylene, which is actually toxic to humans. Some environmentally conscious cleaners use methods that do not contain \"perc;\" seek them out. Better yet, when possible choose clothing that only requires a trip to your laundry room, not a professional cleaner.\n- Be mindful of plastic use. Some plastics contain bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogen-like chemical potentially linked to cancer. Experts also advise against microwaving food in plastic containers; although research is inconclusive, the heating process is thought to release chemicals from the plastic into your food. Reusing plastic bottles is another source of controversy. Some experts think reuse is safe if you carefully wash and dry the bottles between each use, while others feel that wear and tear on the plastic causes toxic chemical leakage. An always-safe alternative is glass. Finally, you can reduce the amount of plastic produced by recycling. Look at the bottom of your plastic container for a number from 1-7. Items labeled 1 or 2 (usually soft drink, jjuice, water, milk, and detergent containers) are eligible for curbside recycling. Numbers higher than 2 are either unrecyclable or require special drop-off at a recycling center.\nReduce the roar.\nDecrease sound pollution at home and work with these simple suggestions:\n- Employ low-tech solutions like earplugs and heavy curtains to block street noise.\n- White noise machines and noise-cancelling headphones also create quiet.\n- Double-paned windows reduce outdoor noise, including jet traffic.\n- Before you begin new construction projects, communicate with your architect and/or contractor about noise reduction options. Some building materials and methods offer greater sound absorption or masking than others.\n- When you are engaged in construction projects, or if you work in construction or another noisy trade, always wear hearing protection on the job.\n- Be mindful about your personal noise production. For example, are you really watching your television, or is it simply on as \"background noise?\" Could you use a push mower instead of a power model, a shovel rather than a snow blower? Could you bike instead of drive? Select \"vibrate\" rather than the latest ringtone? Even small actions increase the peace.\nRaise your EMF awareness.\nIt is important to note that research on EMF exposure is ongoing. But these easy actions just might improve your wellbeing:\n- When possible, use a land line rather than your cell phone.\n- Use a hands free device or speaker phone function if using a cell phone.\n- Do not stand directly in front of your microwave oven while it's in use, or simply use your conventional oven.\n- Limit your computer time.\n- Use manual versions of personal care tools: an old-fashioned toothbrush rather than an electric model, or a razor instead of an electric shaver.\n- Don't sleep under an electric blanket.\n- Sit several feet from your television screen.\nEnjoy local and organic foods.\nThe foods you choose not only impact your health from a nutritional standpoint, but from an environmental angle as well. Think about these fast facts:\n- Eating locally grown produce means less transportation is required to get that apple from the tree to your table. This translates to reduced air and noise pollution in your community.\n- Organic farming doesn't employ the pesticides often used in non-organic methods. That means that eating organic produce may reduce your ingestion of chemicals, and that pesticides will not leach into local water supplies. Joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) food plan might \"cleanse\" your diet and help your water supply.\n- Research indicates that raising livestock increases greenhouse gas emissions, pollutes water supplies, and contributes to land degradation and deforestation.

-{"text": "In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the town of Rinteln underwent an economic boom, and the period saw the founding of the Ernestina University. Most of the half timbered buildings standing today date from this period. Rinteln's prosperity was severely affected by its involvement in the in the Thirty Years War, and by the plague which killed off half of the population. During the eighteenth century, the town twice fell to the French army, and on one occasion was almost completely destroyed on the orders of Napoleon. The coming of the railway in 1875 saw a return to economic growth, and the beginning of a large glass manufacturing plant. Rinteln managed to survive WWII without any serious damage. The centre of Rinteln retains its medieval character, with its timbered houses situated with in the old town walls.\nThe Historic Walk starts on the Rinteln market place with the beautiful half timbered houses. The most splendid building at this market place is the Ratskeller, the former Rinteln townhall (until 1900).\nOn foot or by motobike, either way one can discover Rinteln's beauty and its loveliest hilly landscape just by following the paths or routes along the Weser river, which do remain beside the river from the beginning on.\nThe night watchman patrolled through the city and watched out of fires. Today you can still see the night watchman as statue at the market square. But there's also a night watchwoman! She's still alive and you can see her once a month. More info:\nNext to one of the towers of the fortifications you find the district of \"Hinter der Mauer\" Once the poorest part of Rinteln it is now the nicest in my eyes. Please compare the size of the house with the size of the car! Unbelievable, there are still living people in the house!\nThis church is the only survival edifice of the former convent. In here, in 1621 the Rinteln University was founded. After the university was removed to Marburg in 1820 the building was used as a classical secondary school. In 1875 it was newly built.\nThe Ratskeller was until 1900 the town hall of Rinteln. It was built in 13th century and between 1598 and 1604 it was remodeled in Weser-Renaissance style. Today it is used for events and in the groundfloor a restaurant can be found.\nThis richly decorated half timbered house has been a museum for a long time. it is one of the oldest buildings in Rinteln.\nThe Church of St. Sturmius was built in New Gothic style between 1884 -1888. It is dedicated to St. Sturmius, a student of Holy Bonifatitius.\nAt this shady park was once located the old fortress It was razed in 1807 and one year later a park was planted there..\nThe Archivhäuschen was constructed in 1565 by colonel Hilmar von Münchhausen.

-{"text": "The Bottom Whisperer: Freak Like Me\nGreeting fandome! Hope everyone is having an awesome week. Happy hump day! Follow me on facebook and twitter if you aren’t already. If you’re lucky I might go all Chris Brown and tweet pictures of my junk (not really).\nCheck out last week’s column just in case you missed it.\nDear Bottom Whisperer,\nI recently came out of the closet after being away at college for my sophomore year. I made friends at school who helped make my coming out experience really great. My family has also been very supportive since I came out to them. I recently went on a few dates with a guy from one of my classes. On our third date we went back to his place and got it on. Once we got down to our underwear and were making out on his bed he stopped for a second and with a kinda embarrassed look said to me “I just want you to have a heads up so you aren’t disappointed, I am not very hung. Don’t worry tho, I am totally cool just being the bottom sexually.” This really took me off guard and kinda killed the mood. We made out some more but then I told him I had to head home.\nI feel weird now because we had a nice time together. So many things are going through my head. Do less hung guys have to be the bottom? If I’m not hung do I have to apologize to the guy I’m with? This whole situation just kinda blew my mind. I feel awkward around him now and I think he is into me and wants to keep seeing each other.\nTrying Out Playing Sorry\nThere is no gay rulebook, and if there were, it would not have a rule that you have to apologize if your member isn’t “above average”. This guy clearly has some insecurity about what he’s packing downstairs, not your issue to deal with/take on/worry about. There are plenty of guys out there who are average and not hung who are tops. Your old pal The Bottom Whisperer can vouch that there are some bottom boys out there packing some serious heat downstairs. Unless you run your sex life like a communist work program, people should be welcome to do whatever they want (within reason) in the bedroom. Not every hung guy wants to be a big old top daddy, not every average guy wants to bite the pillow.\nGood on you for seeing how ridiculous this way of thinking is. I hope your dinner friend can have a similar moment of clarity. Yes there are people who fetishize hung guys, just like there are people who fetishize certain body types, ethnicity, body modification, etc. Don’t allow yourself to be put into a box because of your physical features. Never apologize for being the way that you are (unless it’s drunk and you just spilled on a really nice piece of furniture) and feel good about you! If you want to top, bottom, both, neither, in a car, in a bar, with a star…. Go for it. There are no rules, besides rules are just there to be broken. Happy humping!\nDear Bottom Whisperer,\nI’m a twenty-something, educated, professional gay man living on the West Coast. I have been seeing a guy romantically for a couple of months now. We really enjoy each other and are about at the point where we should discuss seeing each other exclusively. But there is one thing that has been weighing heavily on my conscience as of late. My awesome gentleman-friend is very close to his ex-boyfriend. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue for me but it is pretty obvious that his ex still has some serious feelings for him. I don’t bring it up because I don’t want to let it affect what we have going on. I will say that I have caught his ex meddling in our affairs a couple of times such as checking up on me with mutual friends. I can’t help but think this is part of a much greater plan to get me out of the picture and get back with him. I’m not an insecure person but this is bothering me and I am looking for a way of resolving it while also keeping this great thing going with my beau. Advice please?\nShouldn’t Consider Reciprocating Alleged Manipulation\nThanks for the great question! You say that you don’t want the influence of a shady ex to interrupt or affect what you have going on. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it already is. I think it is great that you haven’t flipped and asked your man-friend what is up or to pick one of you, because that would just make you look bad. It is possible your guy is a bit of an attention whore and loves having 2 hot guys pine after him, he could also be completely clueless. Either way, don’t let this guy’s actions sweat you because he is just trying to get a reaction out of you, and if you give it to him, you give him the keys to the Porsche. He will know he can get a stir out of you and then it is game over.\nNow if he continues and even becomes more brazen with his attempts to manipulate you or your guy, you’re gonna have to put the ball in your man’s court. A simple “Maybe we should take a break so you can work through some of the stuff you have hanging around from your ex.” Should do the trick. If he likes you he will get the picture. By allowing his ex to meddle with your business you are not setting healthy boundaries with your new guy. These situations happen quite a bit and it is very difficult as the new person in the dynamic to come out of it looking like a class act. Most people wanna get all Jerry Springer and start a screaming match. Don’t stoop so low. If this guy is a good fit and meant to be, he needs to reel it in and get his ex in check. I’d even advise you to save that conversation about being exclusive until that very thing happens.

It was achieved by lifting one silicon atom out of a group of six using a scanning tunnelling electron microscope, and replacing it with the phosphorus atom.\nThe structure includes markers that allow researchers to attach contacts to it and apply a voltage.\nThe single phosphorus atom in its well in the centre\nof a silicon crystal, shown in this Purdue simulation.\nWhile the transistor exists as a single phosphorus atom, the entire structure is a little bigger: the atom has to be confined in a well or channel in a silicon crystal.

-{"text": "- Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy - http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com -\nEaster Brunch SGCC-Style\nPosted By Susan On April 1, 2012 @ 4:31 pm In Holidays,Recipes,SGCC Rewinds | 13 Comments\nOf the great triumvirate of Christian holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter), Easter is my favorite. While I love eating myself into oblivion at Thanksgiving, and Christmas (the gifts are nice too), I actually enjoy the fact that Easter isn’t as food-centric. I find it to be a much more relaxing and low-key holiday than the others, which in turn means less stress for me. And, I’m all about less stress these days! While, it would be unthinkable in my family to have Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner in a restaurant (gasp!), the same does not apply to Easter. Unless we’re invited to someone’s home, we almost always enjoy our Easter meal at one of our favorite restaurants.\nOn the other hand, if your family is anything like mine, they will be clamoring for food long before the time a 4:00 dinner reservation rolls around. To stave off the hungry horde, I always prepare a few dishes ahead of time that can either be warmed up in the oven or simply served cold that morning. Here are some great “stress-less” brunch ideas from the SGCC archives for a lovely, laid back, Easter Sunday brunch.\nFresh, ripe strawberries are blended with yogurt, sour cream, lime juice and honey to make this rich and lush chilled soup. It’s like a cross between a mousse and a smoothie. Frozen berries can also be used in a pinch. Whip it up a day or two in advance, although it may not last that long.\nChicks in a Nest \nChicks in a Nest is a great dish to serve for a brunch buffet. Each serving is completely self-contained and can just be picked up and popped on a plate. The “nests” are made from shredded potatoes that are baked in a muffin tin, which are then served filled with scrambled or poached eggs. You can shred your own potatoes or use a bag of the pre-shredded kind, like I did. The potato nests can be made a day ahead and crisped up in the oven before serving.\nA strata is casserole made with bread, eggs and whatever cheese, meats or vegetables you feel like putting into it. Think of it as a savory bread pudding. This one is filled with onions, ham, mozzarella and Swiss cheese. The best thing about a strata is that it’s meant to be made in advance. In fact, it really must be put together and allowed to sit for several hours or overnight before baking. For your trouble, you’re rewarded with a puffy and golden mass of cheesy, meaty, eggy goodness.\nA kugel is actually a Jewish dish, commonly served on holidays and special occasions. It’s a baked casserole, sweet or savory, that is usually made with egg noodles or potatoes, and often with cottage or cream cheese. In this savory version, I’ve blended cottage cheese, sour cream and a velvety chevre with noodles and assorted vegetables for a sumptuous dish with a subtle tang. A dusting of panko crumbs on top gives it a little crunch and extra texture. This kugel is best baked up a day ahead and served at room temperature.\nThis light and luscious chicken salad is chock full of fresh and dried fruits and nuts bathed in a creamy dressing punctuated with fresh herbs. You can use any combination and quantity of fruits, nuts and herbs that you like, and it always turns out great. Served in big, juicy, hollowed out tomatoes, pineapple boats or avocado halves, this Tutti Frutti Chicken Salad really sings Springtime!\nThis lovely little salad features crisp tender green beans, potatoes, sweet grape tomatoes and thin slivers of red onion. I pair it with a zesty vinaigrette, accented with Dijon mustard, lemon, garlic, honey and fresh herbs. Serve it either warm or chilled and topped with some chopped hard boiled egg for extra richness. It makes a lovely complement to any meal.\nThis pasta salad is quick and ridiculously easy to put together. And, it’s full of zesty, bold flavors. The dressing is simply a mixture of mayonnaise, lemon juice and store bought pesto sauce – the kind you find in the refrigerator section at the supermarket. You can serve it as is, or punch it up by mixing in some poached chicken, tuna or tasty little salad shrimp. Any way you serve this Presto Pesto Pasta Salad, your guests will be dishing out the complements!\nPizza Rustica \nOf course, no Easter Sunday brunch at Chez SGCC would be complete without a few traditional Italian Easter pies, like this Pizza Rustica. It’s a big, cheesy, meaty, creamy hunk of a pie stuffed to the gills with six different kinds of cured and fresh meat. Yes, I said SIX! One slice is pretty much a complete meal in itself. A Pizza Rustica does take some time to put together, but trust me, it is worth the effort. Plus, it can be made a few days in advance and is best served at room temperature.\nTorta di Riso \nTorta di Riso is a rich and creamy egg and ricotta based dessert pie filled filled with cooked Arborio rice and delicately flavored with the essence of orange. Think of it as rice pudding in a crust. This pie is usually made using a traditional rolled pie crust. But, I’ve made it a little easier to make and more interesting to eat by using layers of paper thin phyllo dough to envelope my filling. The phyllo gives this torta a delightfully crispy, buttery crust that shatters beneath your teeth as you bite into it. It’s simply amazing!\nAnd, we certainly can’t forget dessert, especially when it’s a luxuriously rich and creamy cheesecake like this one! My version of this Italian classic is made with both ricotta and mascarpone cheeses, giving it a super silky smooth texture. I flavor it with the heady combination or pure vanilla and a splash of orange flower water, that is sure to make both you and your guests swoon.\nButtery Lemon Bars \nLemon Bars are a quintessential Springtime treat. This version boasts a rich and buttery shortbread crust topped with an ultra-lemony curd that is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. These are honestly the best lemon bars I’ve ever eaten – bar none!\nArticle printed from Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com\nURL to article: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2012/04/01/easter-brunch-sgcc-style/\nURLs in this post:\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/easter-brunch.jpg\n Sumptuous Strawberry Soup: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2008/06/18/summertime-an-the-livin-is-easy/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/strawberry-soup.jpg\n Chicks in a Nest: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2009/07/31/breakfast-at-tiffanys-roundup-chicks-in-a-nest/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ChicksinaNest1.jpg\n Anytime Ham, Cheese and Egg Strata: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2011/08/10/anytime-egg-ham-and-cheese-strata-recipe/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Egg-Strata-2.jpg\n Vegetable Noodle Kugel: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2009/01/29/savory-vegetable-noodle-kugel-for-rfj/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/kugel-23.jpg\n Tutti Frutti Chicken Salad: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2009/08/25/tutti-frutti-chicken-salad/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/chicken-salad-1.jpg\n Green Bean and Potato Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2011/07/28/green-bean-and-potato-salad-with-dijon-vinaigrette-recipe/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/green-bean-dijonnaise-2.jpg\n Presto Pesto Pasta Salad: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2011/06/28/presto-pesto-pasta-salad-recipe/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pesto-pasta-salad-4.jpg\n Pizza Rustica: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2008/03/15/baking-with-mom-part-1-pizza-rustica/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pizza-rustica.jpg\n Torta di Riso: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2010/03/24/sgcc-encore-torta-di-riso-for-easter/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/torta-di-riso.jpg\n Italian Ricotta Cheesecake: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2011/02/20/la-tavola-della-mia-famiglia-italian-ricotta-cheesecake-recipe/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ricotta-cheesecake-1.jpg\n Buttery Lemon Bars: http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/2011/03/20/buttery-lemon-bars-a-recipe-in-pictures-or-what-was-i-thinking/\n : http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lemon-bars-1.jpg\nCopyright © 2009 StickyGooeyCreamyChewy.com.", "char_count": 8555, "token_count": 2138, "k_exact": 2.3858, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8489, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "If you're a \"Breaking Bad\" devotee, news that the Sundance Channel will begin airing Seasons 1 through 4 of the show (beginning tonight at 11 PM) is a welcome chance to rewatch one of (if not the) greatest TV dramas of all time.\nAnd for you \"Bad\" newbies … we envy you, because you have the chance to experience for the first time the unfolding of an incredibly written and acted story, led by two Emmy-winning actors (Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul) and an Emmy-worthy supporting cast.\nWith the last eight episodes of the series scheduled to premiere on AMC this summer, Sundance's off-network airings will run back to back every Monday night for the show's first 46 installments. Here, five moments every \"BB\" fan -- new and old -- should catch during the Sundance run (oh, MAJOR SPOILERS ahead):\n(Warning: The following clips contain violence and adult language.)\n1. Workin' at the car wash\nMake that not working at the car wash. In the series premiere, meek, fed-up high school chemistry teacher Walter White (Cranston) -- who has to work a second job at a car wash just to make ends meet for his family -- does his best Johnny Paycheck when he tells his gruff, bushy-browed car wash boss to take his job and shove it, while referencing the eyebrows, slapping around some air fresheners, and throwing in a crotch grab for good measure. It's the first moment Walt really lets go of years of pent-up frustration, though it's certainly not the last.\n2. The birth of Heisenberg\nSeason 1, \"Crazy Handful of Nothin'\"\nAs Walt's partner in crime, Jesse (Paul) would later proclaim, \"Yay, science!\" In this case, that science is fulminated mercury, which Walt uses to get the attention -- and the business -- of drug lord Tuco. Old Walt, meek Walt, would never have had the nerve to stand up to the menacing Tuco (Raymond Cruz), but Jesse has been beaten up and Walt's had to shave his head for chemotherapy. And in his new, emboldened state, his alter ego \"Heisenberg\" strides into Tuco's headquarters, blows the joint up (using the mercury), and demands that Tuco buy his special brand of crystal meth. With payment upfront.\n3. What would you do?\nSeason 2, \"Phoenix\"\nWalt had a choice in this episode, the penultimate installment of the season, when Jesse's new girlfriend, Jane (Krysten Ritter), was choking to death after a drug binge with fellow addict Jesse: Walt could save her life … or, he could save almost a half-million dollars in cash, and make sure Jane was no longer around to influence Jesse. It took the series' ability to shock -- and Walter White's conscience -- to a whole other level, and led to even more shocking fallout in the season finale.\n4. \"I am the one who knocks\"\nSeason 4, \"Cornered\"\nSkyler, realizing fully what danger Walt's enterprise has put her and the kids in, pleads with him to turn to the police to protect them. They're in danger, she argues. But Walter, fully believing his own Heisenberg hype by this point, just gets annoyed with her insistence that he's in danger, and that the bad guys are going to come knocking on their door. \"I am not in danger, Skyler, I am the danger … a guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!\"\n5. Blown away\nSeason 4, \"Face Off\"\nNot even \"The Wire\" or \"The Sopranos\" put forth a more complicated, calculating, villain than Giancarlo Esposito's Gus Fring, who found out in a very just way in the Season 4 finale that he was smarter than almost everyone … except Walter White. It was part of a Season 4 ender that was so satisfying it could have served as the \"Breaking Bad\" series finale (though we're very happy it didn't).\n\"Breaking Bad\" airs on Sundance Channel Mondays at 11 PM and midnight.", "char_count": 3708, "token_count": 927, "k_exact": 2.4087, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8514, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Dt 8, 2-3, 14-16 Ps 147, 12-13; 14-15; 19-20 1 Cor 10, 16-17 Jn 6, 51-58\nMOSES URGES the Israelites: “Remember, the Lord, your God.” Their memorial is meant to keep them mindful of God's specific saving acts. Moses responds to the all-too-human inclination to forget the Lord, to overlook His redemptive works in our life, to neglect His offer of mercy and disregard God altogether.\nThat we, too, might remain mindful, Jesus gives us the great memorial of the Eucharist. And just as God guided the Israelites in the desert, so He guides our memory as we make our way to Him in the Eucharist. He does this in three ways:\nThe Eucharist responds to the human experience of hunger. God allowed the Israelites to “be a afflicted with hunger” in their desert wandering. But He does so in order to feed them Himself, with the miraculous food of manna, and to persuade them that “man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” That is to say, thanks to divine Providence, the experience of hunger leads us back to God.\nHunger makes us cherish what really matters most in life— the Word of God. It rekindles our commitment to rely on God to provide what we need to make it through our own vast and terrible deserts, our own struggles with slavery. Hunger reminds us that the craving of our bodies is satisfied only by the human body of Jesus—the Word that proceeds from His mouth, offering us His flesh as food: “He who feeds on my flesh &hellips; has life eternal.”\nHunger, then, tests our intention to keep God's commandments, which is the surest sign of our love for Jesus (Jn 14, 21). Hunger makes us ���true to his Word” (Jn 14, 22) as we accept the Eucharist—not as mere bread—but as “the best of wheat” filled with God's promise: “Anyone who eats this bread shall live forever.” The Eucharist satisfies hunger with the sustenance of hope.\nAt the same time, the Eucharist recalls how God glories in doing the impossible. The crowd quarrels: “How can He give us His flesh to eat?” But as we live by faith, we experience how the efficacy of the Eucharist transforms contradiction into grace-filled affirmation. Our sharing in the Body of Christ radically changes the way we look at things. Just as every occasion at table reminds us of our sharing in the Body and Blood of Christ, so, too, does every encounter in life prompt us to see the real presence of Jesus, who is at work in our midst as “the life of the world.”\nAnd the Eucharist reminds us how we are to regard ourselves. Jesus gives us His flesh and blood as real food and drink, so that we might become His Body. In Communion, Jesus promises to remain in us and we in Him. We are to look beyond the flaws and defects of our human bodies to discover within us the love of Jesus who transforms us into Himself.\nFather Peter John Cameron, who teaches homiletics at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, N.Y., is a Register contributing editor.", "char_count": 2935, "token_count": 733, "k_exact": 2.0514, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8162, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Shi'ite radical Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army may have been bloodied by recent confrontations in Basra and Baghdad, but he is cranking up the heat on the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki with a new political-military program carefully tailored to the preferences of Iraqi public opinion. At mosques around Iraq on Friday, his acolytes read a statement outlining new marching orders for his Mahdi Army militia aimed at maximizing his political support ahead of provincial elections scheduled for the fall.\nA select group of Mahdi Army fighters would continue to bear arms and use them against U.S. forces as long as they remain in Iraq. \"Weapons will be in the hands of this group exclusively and will be directed only at the occupier,\" Sadr's statement said. The rest of the militia, believed to number some 60,000 members, would focus on civic projects and religious initiatives that serve the needs of the Shi'ite community, Sadr said.\nThe new policy signals an end to Sadr's patience for the tattered unilateral cease-fire, which nominally restrained his men against U.S. troops this spring even as heavy fighting unfolded in southern Iraq and eastern Baghdad. More significantly, however, his new guerrilla approach seemed to exempt Iraqi government forces from attack by the Mahdi Army, while pitting his legions in a head-to-head political battle with al-Maliki for the hearts and minds of Iraqi voters ahead of the provincial elections. And continuing to fight U.S. forces seems to reflect an awareness that their long-term presence in Iraq is resented by a majority of Iraqis a resentment that also appears to have caused a stalemate in negotiations between the Iraqi and U.S. governments over a security agreement providing for a long-term American presence in Iraq.\nSadr has good reason to concentrate on the election his followers are poised to take the majority of open seats in southern Iraq and in large parts of Baghdad But two things could derail a massive victory at the polls: One would be a public relations disaster like the bloody firefight Sadr's fighters sparked outside a venerated Shi'ite shrine in Karbala roughly a year ago, the episode that led Sadr to declare a cease-fire in the first place. Sadr's new humanitarian drive appears aimed at shoring up his public image in the months before the vote by upstaging al-Maliki's predominantly Shi'ite government, which has struggled to provide basic services even in areas where his supporters live.\nThe second danger is a campaign by government supporters to keep the Sadrists off the ballot, which could spark a new confrontation in the months ahead. Sadr's followers are confident in taking on the government at the polls, but they are already accusing the government of laying the groundwork for a rigged election that would hand provincial power to the Sadrists' main rivals, the government-aligned Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council and its own militia, the Badr Brigade.\n\"They know that the Sadrist movement will win in the south,\" said a senior official from the main Sadr office in Baghdad who spoke on condition of anonymity. \"I don't think we're going to have a chance.\"\nIraq's Independent High Electoral Commission has vowed to ensure a fair contest and avoid the problems that troubled the last round of provincial balloting in 2005. Haider al-Furaijy, the deputy commissioner, says there are no signs of foul play aimed at the Sadrists or anyone else. \"So far I don't think this is true,\" al-Furaijy said. \"We are going to take all the necessary procedures to keep the votes clean.\"\nAl-Furaijy acknowledged, however, that the government is blocking \"militias\" from the electoral process and that term is code for the Sadrists, despite the government keeping the Badr Brigade in its corner. If the Sadrists are kept out of the coming elections, Sadr may once again order his people, armed and unarmed, onto the streets to confront the Iraqi government a scenario that, given the massive support Sadr enjoys among the Shi'ite urban poor, would almost certainly end the relative calm that has settled over Iraq in recent months.", "char_count": 4118, "token_count": 1029, "k_exact": 3.3671, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9178, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Presiders of the rites of initiation, be they clergy or lay people, have options at hand to assist them in making liturgy as effective as it can be. This section confirms the need to be flexible.\n35. Celebrants should make full and intelligent use of the freedom given to them either in Christian Initiation, General Introduction (no. 34) or in the rubrics of the rite itself. In many places the manner of acting or praying is intentionally left undetermined or two alternatives are offered, so that ministers, according to their prudent pastoral judgment, may accommodated the rite to the circumstances of the candidates and others who are present. In all the rites the greatest freedom is left in the invitations and instructions, and the intercessions may always be shortened, changed, or even expanded with new intentions, in order to fit the circumstances or special situation of the candidates (for example, a sad or joyful event occurring in a family) or of others present (for example, sorrow of joy common to the parish or civic community).\nThe minister will also adapt the texts by changing the gender and number as required.\nIt’s been my observation that many priests tend to include adaptations more easily in the homily. At a funeral, for example, the homily time may involve recounting the life story of the deceased. That time might, to use one imagined example, refer to the person’s military service, or the person’s volunteer time, or that a person was a good husband, father, etc.. Rarely does this witness transfer to something like the general intercessions.\nWhen liturgists are not involved in funeral or in RCIA these sorts of adaptations (some would just call it common sense) don’t often get made. The homily becomes a eulogy. At RCIA, the homily might become a time of celebrating individuals. The alternative is a cohesive integration into the text and prayer of the liturgy. If a catechumen, for example, has become recently engaged, it would make sense for a prayer for engaged couples to be included in the intercessions of the rite.\nSometimes the adaptation of the minister goes completely out of the text. If a group of catechumens were having a particularly difficult time, one might consider the adaptation of taking extra silence during the rite to allow a more careful pace and avoid the sense of being rushed or railroaded.", "char_count": 2360, "token_count": 590, "k_exact": 2.8495, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9404, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

From the Pacific Northwest headquarters of the order at St. Ann's Academy, directly across Humboldt Street from this building, they gradually expanded their missionary work in Victoria to include a school, a convent, a novitiate program, and nursing services to better serve the educational, medical, and spiritual needs of the population for over a century.\nArchitecturally, the historic place was designed and built in stages, but it is the 1908 addition by Thomas Hooper and C. Elwood Watkins that is most prominent in today's configuration. The first phase of St. Joseph's Hospital was built on Collinson Street (now renamed Fairfield Road) in 1876 under the leadership of Sister Mary Providence and Dr. John Sebastian Helmcken. In 1888, an additional 48 beds were added, and in 1897, another 67, bringing the total to 150. The 1908 addition was designed to face Humboldt Street. With its Edwardian solidity and strong Neoclassical features, it serves as a foil to the Hooper wing at St. Ann's Academy and further reinforces the significance of the Order in Victoria's development. A historic chapel on the northeast of the structure has been preserved and provides a visual link to the religious past. Several interior features have been retained, further enhancing the historic importance of this building. It has been rehabilitated for use as seniors' housing with units for transient accommodation.\nIn addition, the grounds contribute to Victoria's natural environment. The building is surrounded by a manicured lawn with mature plantings that create a park-like setting. The presence of this greenspace so close to downtown Victoria, coupled with the St. Ann's Academy grounds and Beacon Hill Park just to the south, provides a counterpoint to the hard urban landscape of the city core.\nSource: City of Victoria Planning Department\nKey elements that define the heritage character of St. Joseph's Hospital include:\n- its monumental scale\n- characteristics of the Neoclassical Edwardian style, such as the front entrance porch with paired Ionic columns, balcony above with stone and cement balustrade, multi-hipped roof with gabled front extension, stone corbelling under eaves, circular light in gable peak, slender turret with Christian cross at peak, front extension over porch\n- semi-recessed second storey bays arcaded by pilasters\n- form and pattern of fenestration\n- design and detailing of the 1908 addition, attributable to Thomas Hooper and C.

-{"text": "Crown Complex, Southbank\nNobu is among the most famous japanese restaurants in Melbourne. The story behind the success of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa is a pretty inspiring one. With a striking experience in Peru, you can see its influence in Nobu’s menu with modern dishes that mix south american and japanese cuisine.\nHowever, when I heard about the “franchise” Nobu (with 25 restaurants in the world) one question came immediately to my mind: is Nobu (the person) still a chef or became a businessman? To answer this question, I went myself to this renown restaurant to test its reputation…authenticity? creativity?\nWith a range of prices of this level, I was expecting a beautiful interior decoration and a very intimate dining experience. The decor was indeed appealing but the whole atmosphere was not adequate for a personal dining experience.\nThe first feeling my girlfriend had when we went downstairs to the dinning room (upstairs being the bar) was “are we in a yumcha place?”. The place was packed with not much space between people and loud music in the background. When the waitress was speaking, we could barely hear what she was saying. I had to lean on the table or yell to chat with my gf. Because everyone has to speak up in this noisy basement, we could almost hear the conversation on the table beside…For this range of restaurant, Coco offers a more personal ambiance for a delightful experience.\nService was pretty good. We arrive on time for our booking but the table was not ready yet. Complimentary champagne helped to wait on the ground floor with the view on the Yarra river.\nDespite the busy period, dishes came without a long wait, our waitress was efficient and explained us the dish ( when we could hear it). With such prices, you would expect excellent service and I think Nobu does not fail here. The only thing I would recommend is for the non-japanese staff (most of them I think) to work on their japanese pronunciation. Hearing “irashaimase” with so many different tones and mispronunciations is not a good start to show authenticity to customers. It felt so weird; like the restaurant was overdoing to convince (themselves?) it is indeed a japanese restaurant.\nValue for money/taste\nPrices are very high and excellent service is not enough to justify such values. I need to be impressed at the first mouthful, to get a “woah” effect, to be blowed away, to levitate at the end of the meal. During most of the meal, I didn’t levitate a single nanometer above my chair. I’ll describe each dish we had and then put the price at the end so YOU can put this in perspective\nOyster with a trio of sauces (6 pieces)\nOysters were very fresh and tasty. Not too big but this doesn’t bother me, I prefer small and delicious oysters. The 3 sauces were interesting as they exhibit distinct flavors The first one with lemon, coriander and a bit of chili. This refreshing south american flavor matches with the oyster in a “classic” way (lemon juice/oyster) with a little kick at the end as the chili leaves a nice after-taste. The second one, more japanese with ponzu sauce is a classic japanese dressing for oysters that I really start to enjoy. It doesn’t replace my french favorite shallot vinegar with a dark bread, salty butter and dry white wine. The third one was made with an onion dressing that reminded me of how oysters are cooked or baked in Mainland China with more intense flavors. Quite interesting one.\nI was expecting a lot from this dish. Being in Japan for 6 months, Toro (fatty part of the tuna) is something you fall in love instantaneously. Unfortunately, no nostalgia hit me during this dish, served in a micro serve. We had a tea spoon to eat this, the caviar…well you can probably count them with the fingers of your hands and I’m not kidding. The tuna was tender but it didn’t melt the way I remember back in Japan with a strong tuna flavor that transports you into the sea.Tthe sauce is just an improved soy sauce with wasabi. That was merely at the level of a good negi-toro from a kaiten sushi in Japan but at least in Japan I wouldn’t have to pay…..$45! Yes, $45 for this! This is really crossing the line, this is really overpriced. I know toro is a rare item here but it doesn’t justify $45. If you can’t find a descent toro, either lower your price or just don’t serve it. With the overfishing of tuna, I would vote for the latter option.\nScampi Inaniwa pasta salad tossed in ceviche dressing and creamy mentaiko\nThis dish was the best savory dish we had this night. The scampi were fully seasoned and very creamy, the perfect way to eat scampis. A full lobster-like flavor from each bite was something I would have enjoyed even more if the pasta or udon were not that bland. Ceviche dressing, you mean lemon juice? I have the chance to have a chilean girlfriend and I had plenty of ceviche (fish cured in lemon juice and herbs). I didn’t get any feeling of having a taste of ceviche mixed with these udon. So is “ceviche dressing” just a fancy name for lemon juice for non-initiated customers who are easily impressed with names they don’t understand but are willing to pay the full price?\nBeside this, I couldn’t taste much from the mentaiko (fish roe). I really enjoyed the texture of the udon and its firmness harmonises nicely with the scampi but I’m not sure if the chef was looking for a light citrus flavor to cleanse our palate or was just in lack of inspirations (and seasonings).\n$40…..I wouldn’t pay that much for this dish, again, it’s because scampis are rare and highly seen as a small lobster but the dish needed more depth to justify $40. By the way, no need to remind you that there was ONE scampi.\nSoft Shell Crab with Umeshu Amazu Cherry Tomatoes, Peach Aji Amarilo Salsa\nA failed attempt to mix Asia and South America. The soft shell crab was nicely fried (not difficult from all the soft-shell crabs I ate) but there was no magic with the sauce. Just pieces of peach mixed with white wine or umeshu ( I couldn’t tell to be honest) sitting beside. With a beautiful presentation, the sauce and the crab were two distinct items with no consonance on the plate leaving me baffled for…$28\nI actually went there with this insurance. I have a friend who highly recommended the desserts at Nobu and I was honored to met Chef Yuko to receive a description of her piece of art. This is truly remarkable (and don’t forget I ate a lot of dessert in France and in Japan). There is too much happening on one dish but I’ll try my best to describe it:\nGreen tea financier – like a small compact sweet madelaine with delicious bitter contrast at the end with the green tea flavor\nA japanese donut filled with melting chocolate and banana to die for and surprisingly not too heavy\nA chocolate fondant and green tea ice cream – the chocolate used for the fondant is a high class french chocolate delivering full dark chocolate flavors. The fondant was served warmed with a melting core of chocolate in the middle. The cool green tea icecream is a delicious alternative to vanilla icecream with chocolate fondant.\nSweet light pudding with infused fruits and a little crispy biscuit.\nMandarin and mango sorbets were so refreshing, a good cleanser between these flavors.\nA sort of green tea and peach parfait was also a delight with crispy crumbles contrasted with peach and green tea mousse.\nMy favourite was the Suntory whisky cappuccino layered with crunchy coffee crumble, coffee crème, milk ice cream and whisky foam. The whole coffee was visually recreated with so different layers all surprising in texture and in taste. Fantastic!\nOnly $28! I really don’t get it. For the whole meal, there were single dishes above $40 and here, we have a symphony of desserts for $28. I think they need to lower the savory dish prices if they want a consistent menu.\nHard one to score. It’s a weird mix. Dishes were trying to be creative but failed in my opinion. The cooking staff must be japanese from what I tasted. Fortunately, Chef Yuko is able to show you the beautiful dessert you can find in Japan, a patisserie inspired by France but well balanced with light textures and japanese green tea flavors.\nI would never go back to Nobu. You want a high class japanese restaurant? Continue your walk in Crown to go up in the towers for Coco. Your money will be better spent there. With such high prices, nothing has succeeded in impressing me beside the desserts of Chef Yuko.\nLet’s face it, Nobu is a business, not a restaurant. The place is packed to make profit and forgets about the unique dining experience it should deliver. Nobu should visit Melbourne and do a bit of cleaning in how he envisions his melbournian restaurant. Nobu are for people who doesn’t know about japanese food and who is just looking for a place to impress by its reputation, people who are more focused on appearances than authenticity.\nIn my experience (it’s going to sound very funny and probably not politically correct), if you enter a japanese restaurant with non-japanese waiters, there is a high chance it’s either very tasty but very pricey or simply bland dishes covered by excellent service…Nobu is unfortunately a bit of both", "char_count": 9157, "token_count": 2289, "k_exact": 2.7076, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8931, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "It’s hard to say how popular Chrome OS, Google’s browser-centric operating system, really is. There can be little doubt, though, that Google is quite serious about this initiative. Today, Google launched the latest developer version of Chrome OS and this update sports the first major redesign of the operation system’s interface since its launch in late 2010.\nIn this new version, Chrome OS almost looks like a traditional OS, with a full-blown desktop and window manager instead of just a browser and tabs. Aura, as this hardware-accelerated window manager is known, is Chrome’s next generation user interface framework and it is making its public debut in this new developer version of Chrome OS.\nThis update is quite a departure from Chrome OS’s origins. Until now, Chrome OS basically just gave users access to a single browser window at a time (you could already have multiple browser windows open on separate virtual screens) and launching new apps meant you first had to open a new tab and then look for the app you wanted to start. Now, Chrome OS features a Launchpad-like app launcher, as well as a Windows-like taskbar (Google calls it a “shelf”). Apps, it is worth noting, still start in a browser tab and not as stand-alone windows, though.\nIn short, Chrome OS now looks and behaves a lot more like the desktop operating systems it set out to challenge.\nIn a way, this almost feels as if Google is admitting defeat here. When Chrome OS launched, Google’s Sergey Brin argued that traditional PC operating systems were “torturing users.” Chrome OS was supposed to be all about “speed, simplicity and security” and Google wanted to use it to “re-think what operating systems should be.” This new version, however, does away with a bit of this simplicity in favor of greater functionality. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, and may just help Chrome OS gain more mainstream acceptance as new users will surely find it to be a more familiar experience.\nWhile Aura is obviously the star of this update, it’s worth noting that the latest version also introduces support for files compressed in the .tar, .gz and .bzip2 formats, as well as better support for multi-monitor setups.", "char_count": 2194, "token_count": 548, "k_exact": 2.495, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8771, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Bronner, Distinguished Professor of American Studies and Folklore and director of the American studies doctoral program at the Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg.\nThe book is published by the University of Mississippi Press. Both the Pull and Nykerk are competitions between members of the freshman and sophomore classes. The Pull marked its 115th year earlier this fall. Nykerk, a Hope tradition since 1936, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3, as part of Parents Weekend. Over the years The Pull in particular has found its way into the national and even international media, from The Guinness Book of World Records (1995) to Sports Illustrated (twice--in 1966 and 1996); from a magazine in Japan (1983) to Australian television (1996).\nBook Descriptive from Mississippi Press\nFrom their beginnings, campuses emerged as hotbeds of traditions and folklore. American college students inhabit a culture with its own slang, stories, humor, beliefs, rituals, and pranks. Simon J. Bronner takes a long, engaging look at American campus life and how it is shaped by students and at the same time shapes the values of all who pass through it. The archetypes of absent-minded profs, fumbling jocks, and curve-setting dweebs are the stuff of legend and humor, along with the all-nighters, tailgating parties, and initiations that mark campus tradition--and student identities. Undergraduates in their hallowed halls embrace distinctive traditions because the experience of higher education precariously spans childhood and adulthood, parental and societal authority, home and corporation, play and work.\nBronner traces historical changes in these traditions. The predominant context has shifted from what he calls the \"old-time college,\" small in size and strong in its sense of community, to mass society's \"mega-university,\" a behemoth that extends beyond any campus to multiple branches and offshoots throughout a state, region, and sometimes the globe. One might assume that the mega-university has dissolved collegiate traditions and displaced the old-time college, but Bronner finds the opposite. Student needs for social belonging in large universities and a fear of losing personal control have given rise to distinctive forms of lore and a striving for retaining the pastoral \"campus feel\" of the old-time college. The folkloric material students spout, and sprout, in response to these needs is varied but it is tied together by its invocation of tradition and social purpose. Beneath the veil of play, students work through tough issues of their age and environment. They use their lore to suggest ramifications, if not resolution, of these issues for themselves and for their institutions. In the process, campus traditions are keys to the development of American culture.\nMississippi Press Website", "char_count": 3022, "token_count": 755, "k_exact": 3.0939, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9345, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The more serious the interview, the quieter she got. When she replaced Meredith (Vieira), I tried to adjust and accept, but she just didn't work for me. Katie (Couric) and Meredith were relatable, empathetic and funny. Ann just seemed out of place.\"\nExecutives at NBC were quietly reaching the same conclusion and moved to replace Curry with Savannah Guthrie.\nThen came June 28, 2012, Curry's last day as co-host. She cried in bewilderment at her perceived failure at losing the job she had sought for years, as her uncomfortable\nSuddenly, a problem for NBC became a BIG problem. Even people who didn't particularly like Curry loathed the way she was dispatched. Except for two weeks during the Olympics, \"Today\" hasn't sniffed first place in the ratings since. During the first six months of 2012, \"Today\" averaged just under 5.2 million viewers each weekday. Since July 2, the audience has dropped to 4.59 million, according to Nielsen, the company that measures TV audiences. Without the two weeks of the London Olympics, the average is 4.3 million. That's a stunning drop, even accounting for typical lower viewership in the summer.\nAn informal survey of three dozen viewers who have left or are considering leaving \"Today\" turned up various explanations, including a feeling that the show had leaned too far in the direction of lighter, pop culture fare. The Curry dismissal was clearly a tipping point, however.\nWilliam Runge, a manager at an educational cable network who lives in suburban Winston-Salem, N.C., likened the treatment of Curry to \"a public flogging.\"\n\"The PR machine at NBC spent an enormous amount of time and effort convincing me that the 'Today' show team was actually part of my family, 'America's First Family,\" said Runge, 46, citing the show's advertising slogan. \"Guess what? They were right. These did feel like family members. So this is how you are going to treat a member of your family?\n\"You can debate for hours whether Ms. Curry was right for the role,\" he said. \"That's not the point. She was doing her job and was barely 11 months into it when they canned her in the most humiliating way possible.\"\nThe move was \"heart-wrenching,\" said Isabelle Langelier, a 40-year-old manager at a drug company from Montreal. \"It made me feel sick for her. And it made me turn the channel, probably permanently.\"\n\"While I thought Ann Curry's interviews were a little hokey at times, she is clearly the most genuine person in TV news,\" said Sarah Rosenthal, 53, a graduate student and mother of three from West Chester, Pa. \"After her unceremonious dumping, I turned it off. I have nothing against Savannah, and adore Natalie Morales, but there is just a different tone to the show.\"\nEven worse for NBC, a significant number of viewers appear to blame co-host Matt Lauer for the move. The network has consistently denied tabloid reports that Lauer was unhappy with Curry. \"Today\" Executive Producer Jim Bell said late last month that Lauer was being treated unfairly. Firing Curry was Bell's decision, he said.\nSome awkward public moments haven't helped. When Curry reappeared on \"Today\" during the London Olympics to introduce a story she had done, Lauer twice remarked that it was good to see her again. Curry didn't return the sentiment to the man she worked with for 15 years.\nTwo years ago, Lauer's positive \"Q\" score was 23—meaning 23 percent of people who knew him considered Lauer one of their favorite broadcasters, according to Marketing Evaluations Inc., a company that measures public sentiment toward well-known personalities. Now his positive score is 14. At the same time, \"Good Morning America\" co-host Robin Roberts' positive \"Q\" score jumped from 20 to 27.\nLangelier felt there was a perception that Lauer was \"king\" and others on the show aren't equal to him. Lyle Nelson, 40, a salesman from Avondale, Ariz., said Lauer was \"not someone I'd like to have a beer with.\"\n\"There is something about Matt Lauer, whether or not he was the reason for Curry's firing, that has changed and I do not like watching the show anymore,\" said John Friia, a 20-year-old aspiring journalist from Malverne, N.Y.\nFortunately for NBC, viewers don't seem to be taking out their unhappiness on Guthrie.\nProducers often say that viewing decisions for morning television can be intensely personal, since people are essentially inviting these personalities into their homes at an intimate time of day when they were getting ready for work. Feeling a part of the TV \"family\" they see on air is part of it, and sometimes the reasoning seems strange. Nelson said, for example, that he didn't like the couch on \"Today\" because it looked uncomfortable.\n\"In today's doom and gloom news programs, the 'Today' show gave me a lift to get my day started,\" said Taren Robin, 48, from Paris, Ky. \"I don't get that lift anymore, and I am in mourning over the fact. I haven't found anything I like better to take its place.\"\nAt least one-third of people who responded to a Twitter request to discuss the show cited its content for their discontent.\n\"I used to be a regular 'Today' show viewer but got tired of their formula,\" said Dan Laufer, 35, a sports marketer from Washington, D.C. \"Five minutes of hard news followed by an animal rescue story, the Kardashians and then pop culture or fashion. It's OK with me—in moderation.\"\nJoan Pierce is a 64-year-old retired nurse from Oklahoma City, Okla., who watched \"Today\" for 40 years. Now she says: \"I don't care what Lindsay Lohan does.\"\n\"I was fed up with the lack of actual news reporting, and more intense focus on silly, irrelevant things like women's fashion or the newest celebrity's recipe for a dinner I could never find the time or money to cook,\" said Zach Beale, a 23-year-old college student in Savannah, Ga.\nBiting as they may be, at least those complaints offer \"Today\" the seeds of potential recovery. \"Good Morning America,\" particularly in its second hour, has an even greater pop culture emphasis. Bell said his show will try to draw a greater contrast with its ABC rival in coming months. A recent ad with Lauer touts the \"informative\" nature of the show. Curry, who has kept her job with NBC as a hard news reporter, appeared on \"Today\" during the past month interviewing Libyan President Mohammed Magarief and reporting from Syria.\nCBS has already tried to position itself as a newsier alternative in the morning. Because \"Today\" has a richer history and often twice as many viewers, it would be in better position to reach people who want this.\nNBC announced this week that Willie Geist, an engaging and popular member of MSNBC's \"Morning Joe\" team, will join \"Today\" as a co-host of the 9 a.m. hour and occasionally appear earlier.\n\"What I loved about the show were the hosts, reporters and the stories,\" said Miriam Sajecki, a marketer from Staten Island, N.Y. who has watched \"Today\" for more than 20 years. \"It was always delivered in a friendly, engaging and informative manner. Some of that has changed in that I miss the chemistry that was displayed with the prior hosts ... and some of the stories 'Today' was known for. It has evolved into forgettable reports without giving me the important news and educational stories.\"\nStill, Sajecki is a loyalist. \"I will continue to watch the 'Today' show and wake up to it every weekday,\" she said.\nNBC needs devoted fans like Sajecki to turn things around.\nIt will take some time.", "char_count": 8072, "token_count": 2018, "k_exact": 2.9279, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9423, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Huffington Post released an article today that looks at the impact of sewage overflow from Superstorm Sandy in New York and New Jersey. The article points out how storm surge will result in overflow events and how rising sea levels will only exacerbate these events resulting in more severe discharges.\nThe 11 billion gallons of untreated or partially treated sewage spilled due to storm surge in New York and New Jersey must be seen as a warning for all coastal cities. We must consider this warning as we rebuild Miami-Dade’s sewage system. As sea levels rise storm surges will increase in intensity and frequency. Miami-Dade’s facilities must be built to withstand these storm surges to avoid the kind of spills seen in the northeast.\n“Princeton, N.J.-based Climate Central said that future sewage leaks are a major risk because rising sea levels can make coastal flooding more severe…The collective overflows – almost all in New York and New Jersey and due to storm surges – would be enough to cover New York City’s Central Park with a pile of sewage 41 feet high, Climate Central said.”\nRead More Here:\nSandy Sewage Report: 11 Billion Gallons Of Untreated or Partially Treated Waste Was Released. www.huffingtonpost.org\nOn April 9, 2013 Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper, along with 131 other organizations, undersigned a letter to the United States Senate urging them to oppose advancing the Water Resources Development Act of 2013 (S. 601). This letter, put together by the Water Protection Network, points out significant problems in this bill:\n“Particularly troubling are the streamlining provisions (Sections 2033 and 2032) which will force agency staff to make uninformed decisions, to rubber stamp unacceptable projects, and prioritize deadline compliance over effective review. They do this by:\nRequiring the Corps of Engineers to carry out the shortest review possible; Establishing arbitrary and unreasonably short deadlines for the public and resource agencies to comment;\nEstablishing arbitrary deadlines for resource agency decisions and recommendations;\nAllowing the Corps to elevate multiple technical and substantive disagreements all the way to the President; and\nDirecting the Corps to impose multiple and ongoing fines on resource agencies that miss deadlines or disagree with the Corps on issues fully within the expertise of the resource agencies.\nThese provisions also could give the Corps control over reviews that are clearly outside of its jurisdiction, including consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, review under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and reviews under laws governing activities in coastal areas and public lands.\nAdditionally, the bill threatens to exacerbate our nation’s fiscal deficits by rolling back long- established cost-sharing rules and expanding federal responsibilities into areas that have been the financial responsibility of non-federal project sponsors. If enacted as reported, the bill will result in overspending, overcapacity, and substantial and unnecessary damage to the nation’s major estuaries and harbors. Title VIII of the bill would immediately more than double spending on harbor maintenance without assurance of the cost-effectiveness or true need for the dredging. In addition, the Title eliminates the current 50 percent non-federal cost share for maintaining deep draft harbors from 45 to 50 feet of depth, making these costs 100 percent federal responsibility. The provision also makes dredging and maintenance of all approach channels to berths along federal navigation channels and all upland confined disposal of contaminated dredged sediments a 100 percent federal responsibility, rather than the current 100 percent non-federal responsibility. No one has ever even estimated the costs of such an expansion. This would likely cause increases in dredging of contaminated areas that otherwise never would have been contemplated, increasing toxic releases into the nation’s bays and estuaries. We strongly urge rejection of this title as representing a major setback for the nation’s water policy that will be both environmentally-damaging and represents an improper shift of spending and water project responsibility to the taxpayers.”\nFor more information on the 2013 WRDA see: http://www.waterprotectionnetwork.org/sitepages/downloads/WRDA_2013_NWF_Memo_EPW_Committee_3-18-13_Final.pdf\nIt is difficult to consider ourselves surrounded by nature in Miami, FL. In the city, on the interstate, or in the supermarket it is easy to think of ourselves removed from the nature of Muir’s Yosemite or Thoreau’s Walden pond. An essay called “Thirteen Ways of Seeing Nature” by Jenny Price, suggests that we reconsider how we think about nature in our city. She writes about nature in L.A., but her message applies to all cities.\nMiami is confronted with a decrepit sewage system and the problems that this system is causing for the health of our environment. Our connection to nature is real whether we recognize it or not. We must consider difficult questions like “how are we connected to the nature around us?”, “how do we affect the health of the nature around us?”, and “how do we depend on the nature around us?”. As we move into a future full of challenges like Climate Change these questions are going to become more and more important.\nI would encourage everyone to read this article by Jenny Price:\nAs Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper reflects on a successful clean-up this past week-end, it seems appropriate to consider another clean-up that happened two weeks ago.\nOn Sunday, March 3rd, Sean Bignami, was jogging on Virginia Key and came across an enormous pile of trash left over from the 9 mile music festival the night before.\nSean spoke with staff who where standing around the festival site who said they could not pick up the trash because the wind was blowing it around. Sean took pictures and videos of the scene with his phone and posted them online along with a request that people join him the next day to help clean up the area.\nFour graduate students joined Sean the following morning and picked up enough trash to fill 25 garbage bags!\nSean was unable to get a satisfactory response from the festival supervisor or the Miami parks department regarding accountability for this trash or penalties for the negligence on the part of the festival organizers.\nThe systems in place that are designed to prevent the festival from leaving piles of trash failed, and it is unclear if the festival will be held accountable. Regardless of this failure, the immediate response from concerned residents must be seen as a message to institutions who ignore the sanctity of our Bay. Biscayne Bay is home to concerned stewards, like Sean Bignami, who will not stand quietly while polluters leave trash on our shores.\nBiscayne Bay Waterkeeper wishes to celebrate the stewardship shown in this story. Thank you Sean, and all who came out to help clean up after the 9 mile festival left their trash to be blown into the Bay!\nSee the article Miami Newtimes blog posted about this story here:\nOn Sunday, March 17, 2013, Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper and Sierra Club put on a clean-up at Peacock Park in the Grove.

By state regulation, the Florida Department of Health is required to issue an advisory to inform the public in a specific area when this standard is not met.\nAn advisory for Dog Beach on Virginia Key has been issued because two consecutive samples collected at the beach exceeded the federal and State recommended standard for enterococci (greater than 104 colony forming units per 100ml for a single sample).\nAdditional beach water samples at the Dog Beach on Virginia Key have been collected and further results are pending.\nThe advisory issued recommends not swimming at this location at this time. The results of the sampling indicate that water contact may pose an increased risk of illness, particularly for susceptible individuals.\nThe Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County has been conducting marine beach water quality monitoring at 17 sites, including Dog Beach on Virginia Key, weekly since August 2002, through the Florida Healthy Beaches Program. The sampling sites are selected based on the frequency and intensity of recreational water use and the proximity to pollution sources. The water samples are being analyzed for enteric bacteria enterococci that normally inhabit the intestinal track of humans and animals, and which may cause human disease, infections, or illness. The prevalence of enteric bacteria is an indicator of fecal pollution, which may come from storm water run-off, wildlife, pets and human sewage. The purpose of the Florida Healthy Beaches program is to determine whether Florida has significant beach water quality concerns.\nFor more information please visit the Florida Healthy Beaches Program Website: http://www.doh.state.fl.us and Select “Beach Water Quality”, from the A-Z Topics List.\nWe just posted the second edition of the Paddle Out Guide.

We are honored to have shared the stage with such great organizations.\nThousands of people attended the festival, many of whom camped along the water. We are happy such a festive event took place amidst the beauty of our Bay.\nVirginia Key and Key Biscayne are barrier islands which are, by their nature, exposed to the elements.\nOn February 15, 2013 the Village of Key Biscayne sent Carlos Gimenez, Mayor of Miami, a letter asking Miami-Dade County to take another look at the plans to improve the central wastewater treatment plant located on Virginia Key. Key Biscayne is concerned that the plans do not adequately consider the impacts of climate change, such as increased sea levels and stronger storm surges, and do not include funding for flood mitigation. Considering Virginia Key is a barrier island, and therefor more vulnerable to weather and flooding, makes these oversights in planning for a wastewater treatment plant on this Key particularly alarming.\nKey Biscayne supports the County’s immediate plans to address Clean Water Act outflow violations, deteriorated conditions at the Virginia Key facility, and of sewer lines identified as being at risk of rupturing, including the 54 inch under-bay line from Miami Beach to Fisher Island to Virginia Key. At the same time, the Village of Key Biscayne, situated just south of Virginia Key, is relying on the County to protect their natural environment. As long as infrastructure improvement plans do not address these long-term issues the residents of the adjacent island community of Key Biscayne will be understandably concerned for their quality of life. Key Biscayne is already plagued by foul odors from the central wastewater facility and occasional sewage spills.\nCommunity voices like key Biscayne, calling for better sewage infrastructure, are the impetus for Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper’s legal initiatives for this issue. If the County will not address the concerns of local residential and business communities, or the needs of our fragile natural resources, then legal action may be the only way we can ensure that the County properly address these issues.", "char_count": 13022, "token_count": 3255, "k_exact": 3.919, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8144, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The final tournament was hosted for the first time by Poland and Ukraine, between 8 June and 1 July 2012, after their bid was chosen by UEFA's Executive Committee in 2007. Euro 2012 set the record for both the highest aggregate attendance (1,440,896) and the highest average attendance per game (46,481) under the 16-team format (since 1996).\nThe final tournament featured 16 nations, the last European Championship to do so; from Euro 2016 onward, there will be 24 finalists. Qualification was contested by 51 nations between August 2010 and November 2011 to determine the remaining 14 finalists. The tournament was played across eight venues, four in each host country, five of which were newly built for the tournament. Aside from venues, the host nations have also invested heavily in improving infrastructure, such as railways and roads, at UEFA's request.\nThe tournament opened with a 1–1 draw between Poland and Greece at the National Stadium in Warsaw on 8 June 2012. The final match took place 23 days later on 1 July 2012 at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, where Spain defended their title with a 4–0 win over Italy. Spain became the first team to win two consecutive European Championships, and the first international team to win three straight major tournament titles (Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012). Since Spain had already gained entry to the 2013 Confederations Cup by winning the 2010 World Cup, the runners-up Italy qualified.\nEuro 2012 was the second consecutive European Championship (after Euro 2008 held in Austria and Switzerland) in which neither of the hosts emerged from the group stage,[a] as both Poland and Ukraine were eliminated.\nBid process \nThe hosting of the event was initially contested by five bids representing seven countries: Croatia–Hungary, Greece, Italy, Poland–Ukraine, and Turkey. After an initial consideration of the bid data in 2005 by UEFA both the Greek and Turkish bids were eliminated from the process to leave three candidates. This was followed by a second round of the selection process which among other included visits by UEFA to all candidates. On 18 April 2007, the Poland–Ukraine bid was chosen by a vote of the UEFA Executive Committee at a meeting in Cardiff.\nPoland–Ukraine became the third successful joint bid for the European Championship, after those of Belgium–Netherlands (2000) and Austria–Switzerland (2008). Their bid received an absolute majority of votes, and was therefore announced the winner, without requiring a second round. Italy, which received the remaining votes, had been considered favourites to win the hosting, but incidents of fan violence and a match fixing scandal were widely cited as factors behind their failure.\nThere were some later alterations from the initial bid plan, regarding the venues, before UEFA confirmed the eight host cities in 2009. During the preparation process in Poland and Ukraine, UEFA repeatedly expressed concern about their preparation to host the event, with different candidates reported as being alternative hosts if they did not improve; however, in the end, UEFA affirmed their selection.\nThe draw for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying competition took place in Warsaw on 7 February 2010. Fifty-one teams entered to compete for the fourteen remaining places in the finals, alongside co-hosts Poland and Ukraine. The teams were divided into nine groups, with the draw using the new UEFA national team coefficient for the first time in order to determine the seedings. As defending champions, Spain was automatically top seeded. The qualifying process began in August 2010 and concluded in November 2011. At the conclusion of the qualifying group stage in October 2011, the nine group winners qualified automatically, along with the highest ranked second placed team. The remaining eight second placed teams contested two-legged play-offs, and the four winners qualified for the finals.\nTwelve of the sixteen finalists participated at the previous tournament in 2008. England and Denmark made their return to the Euro, having last participated in 2004, while Republic of Ireland returned after a twenty-four year absence to make their second appearance at a European Championship. One of the co-hosts, Ukraine, made their debut as an independent nation (before 1992 Ukraine participated as part of the Soviet Union). With the exception of Serbia – according to UEFA's ranking at the end of the qualifying stage – Europe's sixteen highest-ranked teams all qualified for the tournament.\nQualified teams \nThe following sixteen teams qualified for the finals:\n|Country||Qualified as||Date qualification was secured||Previous appearances in tournament1|\n|Poland||Co-hosts||18 April 2007||1 (2008)|\n|Ukraine||Co-hosts||18 April 2007||0 (debut)|\n|Germany2||Group A winner||2 September 2011||1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)10 (|\n|Russia3||Group B winner||11 October 2011||9 (1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2004, 2008)|\n|Italy||Group C winner||6 September 2011||7 (1968, 1980, 1988, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)|\n|France||Group D winner||11 October 2011||71960, 1984, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)(|\n|Netherlands||Group E winner||6 September 2011||8 (1976, 1980, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)|\n|Greece||Group F winner||11 October 2011||3 (1980, 2004, 2008)|\n|England||Group G winner||7 October 2011||71968, 1980, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004)(|\n|Denmark||Group H winner||11 October 2011||71964, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004)(|\n|Spain||Group I winner||6 September 2011||81964, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)(|\n|Sweden||Best runner-up||11 October 2011||4 (1992, 2000, 2004, 2008)|\n|Croatia||Play-off winner||15 November 2011||31996, 2004, 2008)(|\n|Czech Republic4||Play-off winner||15 November 2011||71960, 1976, 1980, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)(|\n|Portugal||Play-off winner||15 November 2011||51984, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008)(|\n|Republic of Ireland||Play-off winner||15 November 2011||11988)(|\n1 Bold indicates champion for that year.

The hour-long ceremony was hosted by Olga Freimut and Piotr Sobczyński, television presenters from the two host countries.\nAs was the case for the 2004 and 2008 finals, the sixteen finalists were divided into four seeding pots, using the UEFA national team coefficient ranking. The pot allocations were based on the UEFA national team coefficient rankings of the sixteen finalists at the end of the qualifying competition in November 2011. Each nation's coefficient was generated by calculating:\n- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying stage.\n- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and final tournament.\n- 20% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying stage and final tournament.\nAside from the coefficient, three teams were automatically placed in Pot 1. Ukraine and Poland were both assigned to Pot 1 as the two host nations, despite the fact that their rankings were the two lowest in the tournament; this also occurred in 2008 when the co-hosts Switzerland and Austria were also ranked below all other qualified teams. As defending champions, Spain were also automatically assigned to Pot 1, though their UEFA ranking at the time of the draw was coincidentally also the best.\nIn the draw procedure, one team from each pot was drawn into each of the four groups. The draw also determined which place in the group teams in pots 2–4 would take (e.g. A2, A3 or A4) to create the match schedule. With Poland were automatically assigned in advance to A1, and Ukraine to D1, Pot 1 only had two teams as Spain and the Netherlands were to be drawn into position one in either group B or C. The balls were drawn by four former players who had each been part of European Championship winning teams: Horst Hrubesch, Marco van Basten, Peter Schmeichel and Zinedine Zidane.\n1 Co-hosts Poland (coefficient 23,806, rank 28) and Ukraine (coefficient 28,029, rank 15) were automatically assigned to A1 and D1, and therefore were not in the draw.\n2 Defending champions were automatically assigned to Pot 1.\nEight cities were selected by UEFA as host venues. In a return to the format used at Euro 1992, Euro 1996 and Euro 2008, each of the four groups' matches were played in two stadiums. Host cities Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, Kiev, and Lviv are all popular tourist destinations, unlike Donetsk and Kharkiv, the latter of which replaced Dnipropetrovsk as a host city in 2009.\nIn order to meet UEFA's requirement for football infrastructure improvements, five new stadiums were built and opened in advance of the tournament. The remaining three stadiums (in Kiev, Poznań and Kharkiv) underwent major renovations in order to meet UEFA's infrastructure standards. Three of the stadiums are categorised as UEFA's highest category stadiums. The transport infrastructure in Poland and Ukraine was also extensively modified on the request of UEFA to cope with the large influx of football fans.\nUEFA organised fan zones in the eight host cities. They were located in the centre of each city, with all 31 matches shown live on a total of 24 giant screens. The zones enabled supporters to come together in a secure and controlled environment. The Warsaw Fan Zone occupied 120,000 square meters and accommodated 100,000 visitors. In all, the fans zones had a 20% increase in capacity compared to Euro 2008.\nA total of 31 matches were played during Euro 2012, with Ukraine hosting 16 of them and Poland 15.\nBuilt for tournament\nBuilt for tournament\nBuilt for tournament\n|3 matches in Group A\n(incl. opening match),\n1 quarter-final and\n|3 matches in Group C and\n|3 matches in Group A||3 matches in Group C|\nBuilt for tournament\nBuilt for tournament\n|3 matches in Group D,\n1 quarter-final and\n|3 matches in Group D,\n1 quarter-final and\n|3 matches in Group B||3 matches in Group B|\nTickets for the venues were sold directly by UEFA via its website, or distributed by the football associations of the 16 finalists. Applications had to be made during March 2011 for the 1.4 million tickets available for the 31 tournament matches. Over 20,000 were forecast to cross the Poland–Ukraine border each day during the tournament. Over 12 million applications were received, which represented a 17% increase on the 2008 finals, and an all-time record for the UEFA European Championship. Owing to this over-subscription for the matches, lotteries were carried out to allocate tickets. Prices varied from €30 (£25) (for a seat behind the goals at a group match) to €600 (£513) (for a seat in the main stand at the final). In addition to individual match tickets, fans could buy packages to see either all matches played by one team, or all matches at one specific venue.\nAccording to UEFA requirements, TP ensured approximately 2х70 Gbit/sec data communication speed from Polish stadiums and 2х140 Gbit/sec between Poland and Ukraine. This was required due to the fact that the matches were broadcast in HD quality. The multilateral production utilised 31 cameras to cover the action on and around the pitch at every match, with additional cameras following activities around the game, such as team arrivals at the stadiums, interviews, and media conferences. The official Euro 2012 broadcasting centre was located at the Expo XXI International Centre in Warsaw. The tournament was broadcast live by around 100 TV channels covering the whole world. 150,000,000 people were expected to watch the matches each day.\nMatch ball \nThe Adidas Tango 12 was the official match ball of UEFA Euro 2012. The ball is named after the original Adidas Tango family of footballs; however, the Tango 12 and its variations have a completely new design. Variations of the ball have been used in other contemporary competitions including the Africa Cup of Nations and the Summer Olympics. It is designed to be easier to dribble and control than the reportedly unpredictable Adidas Jabulani used at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.\nTeam base camps \nEach team had a \"team base camp\" for its stay between the matches. From an initial list of thirty-eight potential locations (twenty-one in Poland, seventeen in Ukraine), the national associations chose their locations in 2011. The teams trained and resided in these locations throughout the tournament, travelling to games staged away from their bases. Thirteen teams stayed in Poland and three in Ukraine.\n|Team||Arrival||Last Match||Base camp||Group stage venues||QF venues||SF venues||Final venue|\n|Croatia||5 June||18 June||Warka\n|Gdańsk and Poznań|\n|Czech Republic||3 June||21 June||Wrocław||Wrocław||Warsaw|\n|Denmark||4 June||17 June||Kołobrzeg||Kharkiv and Lviv|\n|England||6 June||24 June||Kraków||Kiev and Donetsk||Kiev|\n|France||6 June||23 June||Donetsk||Kiev and Donetsk||Donetsk|\n|Germany||3 June||28 June||Gdańsk||Kharkiv and Lviv||Gdańsk||Warsaw|\n|Greece||3 June||22 June||Jachranka\n|Warsaw and Wrocław||Gdańsk|\n|Republic of Ireland||5 June||18 June||Sopot\n|Gdańsk and Poznań|\n|Italy||5 June||1 July||Kraków||Gdańsk and Poznań||Kiev||Warsaw||Kiev|\n|Netherlands||4 June||17 June||Kraków||Kharkiv|\n|Poland||28 May||16 June||Warsaw||Warsaw and Wrocław|\n|Portugal||4 June||27 June||Opalenica\n|Kharkiv and Lviv||Warsaw||Donetsk|\n|Russia||3 June||16 June||Warsaw||Warsaw and Wrocław|\n|Spain||5 June||1 July||Gniewino\n|Sweden||6 June||19 June||Kiev||Kiev|\n|Ukraine||6 June||19 June||Kiev||Kiev and Donetsk|\nFor the list of all squads that played in the tournament, see UEFA Euro 2012 squads.\nMatch officials \nOn 20 December 2011, UEFA named twelve referees and four fourth officials for Euro 2012. On 27 March 2012, UEFA issued the full list of 80 referees to be used in Euro 2012, including the assistant referees, the additional assistant referees, and the four reserve assistant referees. Each refereeing team consisted of five match officials from the same country: one main referee, two assistant referees, and two additional assistant referees. All of the main referees, additional assistant referees, and fourth officials were FIFA referees, and the assistant referees (including the four reserve assistant referees) were FIFA assistant referees. For each refereeing team, a third assistant referee from each country was named to remain on standby until the start of the tournament to take the place of a colleague if required. In two cases, for the French and Slovenian refereeing teams, the standby assistant referees took the place of one of the assistant referees before the start of the tournament. Continuing the experiments carried out in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, the two additional assistant referees were used on the goal line for the first time in European Championship history with approval from the International Football Association Board.\n- Final referee; only referee assigned to four matches.\nUEFA announced the schedule for the 31 matches of the final tournament in October 2010, with the final confirmation of kick-offs times being affirmed following the tournament draw in December 2011.\nGroup stage \nThe teams finishing in the top two positions in each of the four groups (highlighted in tables) progressed to the quarter-finals, while the bottom two teams were eliminated from the tournament.\n- Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;\n- Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;\n- Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;[c]\n- Superior goal difference in all group matches;\n- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;\n- If two teams tie alone (according to 1–5) after having met in the last round of the group stage their ranking is determined by penalty shoot-out.\n- Position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system;\n- Fair play conduct of the teams (final tournament);\n- Drawing of lots.\nGroup A \nGreece were placed above Russia based on their head-to-head record (1–0).\nThe Czech Republic became the first team to win a European Championship group with a negative goal difference\nGroup B \nGroup C \nGroup D \nUkraine were placed above Sweden based on their head-to-head record (2–1).\nKnockout stage \nThe UEFA Technical Team was charged with naming a squad composed of the 23 best players over the course of the tournament. The group of eleven analysts watched every game at the tournament before making their decision after the final. Ten players from the winning Spanish team were selected in the team of the tournament, while Zlatan Ibrahimović was the only player to be included whose team was knocked out in the group stage.\nA total of €196 million was given to the 16 teams competing in this tournament, an increase from the €184 million in the previous tournament. Each team received an initial €8 million and then received additional money, based on their performances. Spain, the winners of Euro 2012, were awarded a total prize of €23 million for their performance. The maximum prize achievable (for winning all group matches and winning the final) was €23.5 million. Complete list:\nExtra payment based on teams performances:\nBesides money, commemorative plaques were given to all participants together with special plaques for semi-final losers and finalists. Gold and silver medals were awarded to the winners and runners-up, respectively, whereas both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals. The trophy given to the winners remains in the ownership of UEFA; however, the winning nation, Spain, received a full-size replica.\nIn the final tournament, a player was suspended for the subsequent match in the competition for either getting red card or accumulating two yellow cards in two different matches. UEFA's Control and Disciplinary body has the ability to increase the automatic one match ban for a red card (e.g. for violent conduct). Single yellow card cautions were erased at the conclusion of the quarter-finals, and were not carried over to the semi-finals (so that a player could only be suspended for the final by getting a red card in the semi-final). Single yellow cards and suspensions for yellow card accumulations do not carry over to the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament matches. The following players were suspended during the final tournament – for one or more games – as a result of red cards or yellow card accumulations:\nApart from discipline measures for yellow and red cards, UEFA fined the football associations of Croatia, England, Germany, Portugal, Russia and Spain a total of €417,000 for spectators incidents.[e] Furthermore, the Portuguese association was fined €5,000 for delaying the start of the second half of the game against Germany. In addition to these, Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner was fined €100,000 and given a one match ban (to be applied in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament) for revealing his sponsored underpants, violating UEFA regulations, during the celebration of his second goal in the match against Portugal.[f]\nPenalty kicks \nNot counting penalty shoot-outs, four penalties were awarded during the tournament. Giorgos Karagounis was the only player who failed to convert his penalty, which occurred in the match against Poland.\nTrophy tour \nThe Henri Delaunay Trophy began a journey through the host cities seven weeks before the start of the tournament. A hundred days before the first match a 35.5-metre-high (116 ft) hot air balloon in the shape of the trophy was flown in Nyon, Switzerland and visited 14 cities throughout the host countries, reminding spectators of the impending tournament. On 20 April 2012, the trophy tour started and visited the Polish cities of Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Poznań, Kraków, Katowice and Łódź. After the Polish cities, the trophy visited seven Ukrainian cities: Kiev, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, and Odesa.\nLogo, slogan and theme songs \nThe competition slogan, Creating History Together (Polish: Razem tworzymy przyszłość, literally, \"Together we are creating the future\", Ukrainian: Творимо історію разом, Tvorymo istoriyu razom), was announced along with the logo. The official logo for the tournament was unveiled at a special event at Mykhailivska Square, Kiev, on 14 December 2009. Designed by Portuguese group Brandia Central. It takes its visual identity from Wycinanki or Vytynanky, traditional form of paper cutting practised in rural areas of Poland and Ukraine. The art form symbolises the nature of the rural areas of both countries. As part of the event, landmark buildings in the eight host cities were illuminated with the tournament logo.\nThe official Euro 2012 song is \"Endless Summer\" by the German singer Oceana. In addition, UEFA has retained the melody that was composed by Rollo Armstrong of Faithless on its behalf for the 2008 tournament. The Republic of Ireland has also produced an official song: \"The Rocky Road to Poland\" recorded by a collaboration of Irish performers has already reached number 1 in Ireland. In Spain, the broadcasting company Mediaset España commissioned the song \"No hay 2 sin 3\", performed by David Bisbal and Cali & El Dandee and produced by RedOne.\nThe tournament has also been associated with the song \"Heart of Courage\" by Two Steps From Hell, which has been played in the stadiums during the entrance of the players (before the national anthems); but also \"Seven Nation Army\" by The White Stripes, in this case after every goal.\nMerchandise and mascots \nUEFA signed a worldwide licensing agreement with Warner Brothers Consumer Products to help promote the tournament. The agreement involved licensing to third parties for a variety of other merchandising items.\nAlso designed by Warner Bros. were the official tournament mascots, \"Slavek and Slavko\", twins that wore the national colours of the two host nations. The mascots were unveiled in December 2010, and named following an online poll.\nUEFA announced ten global sponsors and, for both Poland and Ukraine, three national sponsors as shown below. These sponsorships together with the broadcasting revenues were estimated to earn UEFA at least US$1.6 billion.\nConcerns and controversies \nAfter Poland and Ukraine were chosen by a vote of the UEFA Executive Committee as host countries for Euro 2012, several issues arose, which jeopardised the Polish/Ukrainian host status.\nIn Ukraine there were financial difficulties related to stadium and infrastructure renovation related to the economic crisis. In Poland, issues arose related to corruption within the Polish Football Association. In April 2009 however, the president of UEFA, Michel Platini announced that all was on track and that he saw no major problems. After a UEFA delegation visited Ukraine in September 2011, he stated the country was \"virtually ready for Euro 2012\".\nEspecially in the UK, there were allegations of racism in football in both host countries. The main cause of discussion was the BBC current affairs programme Panorama, entitled Euro 2012: Stadiums of Hate, which included recent footage of supporters chanting various antisemitic slogans and displays of white power symbols and banners in Poland, plus Nazi salutes and the beating of South Asians in Ukraine. The documentary was first echoed in much of the British press, but was then attacked for being one-sided and unethical: critics included other British media outlets; anti-racism campaigners, black and Jewish community leaders in Poland; Polish and Ukrainian politicians and journalists; England fans visiting the host nations and Gary Lineker.\nIn response to Yulia Tymoshenko’s hunger strike and her mistreatment in a Ukrainian prison some European politicians and governments announced that they would boycott the matches in Ukraine.\nUkraine came under criticism from animal welfare organisations for killing stray cats and dogs in order to prepare for Euro 2012. Ukrainian Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and Minister Of The Environment promised to take action to prevent killing animals but it still remains unclear how these measures will be enforced. The ministry's comments also suggested this would only be a temporary measure, drawing further criticism.\nOther minor important issues were associated with FEMEN’s group protests against prostitution and sex tourism in Ukraine, and enormous increases in hotel prices by many hoteliers in the country.\nSee also", "char_count": 25115, "token_count": 6278, "k_exact": 3.2922, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9167, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

That's why it can be used without problems even on small or out-dated systems. It performs at least as well as the common web servers available on the market.\nAbyss Web Server features a native 64-bit edition for a maximum performance on modern systems. The installation packages contain both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.\nOn Windows, the 64-bit edition is automatically installed if a 64-bit Windows systems is detected. On Linux, the 64-bit edition is used if a 64-bit operating system is detected.\nAn intuitive web management interface called the console makes the web server configuration as easy as browsing a web site. No need to edit configuration files, the console helps you setting the server parameters in an effortless manner and can be accessed from a local or a remote computer. It is available in many languages such as English, French, Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish.\nAbyss Web Server is based on the APX architecture. APX (which stands for Anti-crash Protection eXtension) was created, here at Aprelium, to make the server crash-proof. If it happens that the software causes a critical error and crashes (which is by the way very improbable), a report will be generated if possible and the server is automatically restarted. The downtime in such a case won't exceed 1 second!\nSecurity is the #1 priority in Abyss Web Server. In addition to its advanced URL decoding engine which rejects malicious and suspicious requests, it features an efficient anti-hacking system which detects at an early stage hacking attempts or denial of service attacks and bans dynamically their originating IP addresses.\nIt is also equipped with an anti-leeching system to automatically prevent other web sites from directly linking to your images or files.\nAbyss Web Server supports the standard eXtended Server Side Includes directives to help you create dynamic HTML pages with the least effort and without requiring the use of a scripting language. Advanced directives such as #if, #elif, #else, #endif, and #set are available to enable flow control as well as variables setting and substitution constructs.\nAbyss Web Server supports the automatic compression of its responses when it dialogs with modern browsers which understand HTTP compression. This contributes to the reduction of bandwidth consumption and makes your sites load faster for most of your visitors.\nAbyss Web Server supports file names and URLs written in any human language.\nAbyss Web Server features a native support for ASP.NET 1.1 as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions of ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 on Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Home Server, 2008, 7, 8 and 2012. You can install your ASP.NET applications and ASPX files and start serving them immediately with no performance loss and no incompatibilities issues.\nAbyss Web Server's ASP.NET support is not limited in anyway and can execute small test scripts written in C# or VB.NET as well as large applications which use the advanced capabilities of ASP.NET such as custom web controls, database access, authentication, web services, XML processing, MVC, AJAX, or RIA/Silverlight.\nAbyss Web Server has been specially designed to make using scripts the simplest possible even on Windows platforms.\nThanks to its CGI and ISAPI extensions interfaces, Abyss Web Server supports various scripting languages such as PHP, Perl, \"Classic\" ASP, Python, Ruby, Rebol, and TCL.\nLanguages which interpreters are FastCGI-compatible (such as PHP) will even experience a significant processing speed boost on Abyss Web Server while reducing in the same time your system load.\nWhether you are going to test a simple script or install and run a complex database-driven web application, Abyss Web Server is the best choice in terms of ease of configuration and optimal performance.\nAbyss Web Server can act as a reverse proxy to provide content transparently from another Web server behind it (commonly called a back-end server.) The proxied server can be another Web server or an application server with a restricted or even a trivial HTTP support that has to be shielded from external clients.\nReverse proxying is also the recommended way to take advantage of JSP (Java Servlet Pages) and Tomcat/Jetty Web applications.\nAbyss Web Server can run Web applications based on the Ruby on Rails framework. Their execution speed will be optimal thanks to the use of the FastCGI interface.\nInstalling Ruby on Rails has also been made easy on Abyss Web Server: clear instructions and full Ruby + Ruby on Rails packages are provided to make deployment of the framework quick and straightforward.\nYou can configure the total bandwidth that Abyss Web Server is allowed to use when answering the requests. You can also configure the bandwidth that is allowed for every visitor.\nFiner bandwidth control is also available in Abyss Web Server X2 and can be used to configure the allowed bandwidth per file, per directory, or per group of files or directories.\nPassword protecting files or directories has never been easier. You can define users and groups of users and create advanced access rules with a few clicks.\nWith Abyss Web Server, you have a total control over the layout and the look and feel of your directory listings. You can define a template using simple SSI directives or you can write in your preferred programming language your custom directory listing script.\nAbyss Web Server can serve more than one web site from the same computer. This is often called virtual hosting or support for multiple hosts. Each defined host has its specific configuration and is completely independent from other hosts. Virtual hosting is only available in the professional edition Abyss Web Server X2.\nAbyss Web Server supports the SSL and TLS protocols and is able to accept secure connections with strong cryptography (up to 256-bit keys) to protect your visitors' sensitive data from flowing in clear form over the Internet. SSL/TLS support enables you to host E-commerce sites and accept credit card data with the highest level of security available in today's industry standards.\nDeclaring, self-signing, and requesting SSL certificates has never been easier. With Abyss Web Server, you have not to use external tools and type lengthy commands to generate keys, certificates, and CSRs. Every task related to SSL certificates can be carried out using the console (the remote Web configuration interface).\nHave you ever wondered how to have the same site available with http:// and https:// URLs at the same time? With Abyss Web Server, such a setup only requires an extra click when declaring your host. You can even configure it to serve some parts of the site (for example login protected areas) only with https://. In such a case, Abyss Web Server will handle automatically the redirection from the http:// to the https:// URL. Dual hosts support is only available in the professional edition Abyss Web Server X2.\nAbyss Web Server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 Internet protocols for a maximum interoperability with both legacy and modern networks.\nAbyss Web Server includes a URL rewriting engine conforming to industry standards. It can help you hide the complex URLs of your Web applications and make them look more user friendly.\nAlthough URL rewriting is usually considered as an advanced feature, it remains easily controllable in Abyss Web Server through the comprehensible user interface of the console.\nAbyss Web Server can be configured to act as a Windows System Service, MacOS X Startup Item, or Linux daemon. In such a case, you do not have to start it manually. It will be automatically launched immediately after your computer startup, even though no user is logged in, and will operate in the background.\nYou do not need to be a system wizard to make Abyss Web Server operate in this mode.

-{"text": "Bosch Rexroth Corp. CEO Berend Bracht held a formal presentation Wednesday April 23 reporting solid growth in 2007 and offering an upbeat double-digit growth forecast for 2008. Design News Editor-in-Chief John Dodge quizzed Bracht over the phone about the state of this “Drive & Control” company and on the engineering profession.\nDN: Is Bosch Rexroth an engineering company?\nBracht: There’s no doubt BR is an engineering company. Even those in our sales force have engineering degrees (check out Bosch Rexroth’s unique Fun Facts and Creative Diversions humor pages for engineers).\nDN: Of the 3,150 jobs Bosch Rexroth added last year, how many were engineers?\nBracht: I would have to get that for you (later in the day, a spokesman could only say 75 percent of the new jobs were in production).\nDN: Is BR partial toward a particular type of engineer? Would that be a mechanical engineer? I know that’s your background.\nBracht: That might have been the case in the past, but the electrical engineering side is gaining or might be the highest numbers today. Electro-hydraulics is the future with proportional valves and electric drive pumps and motors. We get into the connectivity [before] the mechanical work.\nDN: How well do you think engineering graduates in the U.S. are prepared for the working world?\nBracht: Being able to apply automation products is lacking a little bit. That’s why we have that push to help with these colleges. At Texas A&M, we donated equipment and they opened up an additional lab for automation and [offered] courses for the student, which in the long term is very beneficial for our industry (BR rival Rockwell Automation made a gift of nearly a $1 million in cash and equipment for an automation lab in 2000). Overall, there could be more of a push toward integration of what the industry needs as opposed to what the colleges are offering to the students.\nDN: Is giving students experience in the working world while they are in college a good idea?\nBracht: In Germany, you have two semesters [in the working world]. It’s a very good idea and helps you grow up. A lot of [college] students are quite young. It gives you better feedback on what the real world is like and helps you make the decision that this is not the right field for you and you should choose something different. Or you get the idea you love it and it’s the right thing and you go back to college with a higher level of commitment.\nDN: How important is mechatronics to Bosch Rexroth?\nBracht: It’s been here for some time and we’re going away from the [single] component fields. The need to understand electrical, mechanical, pneumatics and hydraulics in a system approach is here. That focus is increasing. We are going away from only having [single] component sales to integrated modules and components that unify two, three or four parts of these different technologies.\nDN: [In your formal presentation] you showed a slide of a “mechatronics assembly cube.” What is that?\nBracht: We are basically integrating the linear technology with other [technologies]. More and more, linear, automation, electric drives and controls have to be connected in smart and efficient ways. We also have open architecture so we can link to our competitor’s products. (A spokesperson added the mechatronics cube is used for education to teach students about mechatronics. Bosch Rexroth has relationships with about five technical colleges in North America. Besides Texas A&M are Illinois State, Tri-County Technical College, Lake Superior State University and Niagara College Technology Technical Centre).\nDN: What is the impact of rising energy costs on Bosch Rexroth’s business?\nBracht: That’s a difficult question. It’s a benefit because in the oil industry, there are lots of Bosch Rexroth products such as pumps and motors. The higher the oil price, the more investment that will take place. Of course, there is a cost factor to us and on the transportation side, we see the hit. That translates back to a flowing economy. The less the consumer is buying, the less that is being produced.\nDN: What is the answer to the energy problem?\nBracht: Your guess is as good as mine.\nDN: What are the hottest growth areas?\nBracht:Hydrostatic Regenerative Braking(watch the video) is something we have in development and we have contracts with refuse truck users (in his formal presentation, Bracht said the technology promises to reduce diesel consumption by up to 25 percent in hybrid hydraulics). On the wind, we have different pockets. Germany is high [in usage] of wind mills (see related blog post).\n(In his formal presentation Wednesday, April 23, Bracht mentioned a $247 million investment in a new wind turbine gear plant in Germany, industrial automation in the U.S. lumber industries, several solar initiatives including panel positioning via hydraulics and U.S. plant expansions.)\nRelated Podcast: DN Editor-in-Chief John Dodge interviewed Bosch Rexroth Corp. CEO and President Berend Bracht yesterday about the quality of American engineers coming out of school and about the business outlook for 2008. His assessment is upbeat, especially about wind turbines, solar and regenerative braking for hydraulically powered vehicles.\n|Bosch Rexroth Corp.

-{"text": "Sweet Tooth is a literary spy novel, both in the sense that it's an espionage story told by a literary writer and because it's an espionage story that, at its heart, is about literature. Set in the early 1970s against a backdrop of IRA bombings, Cold War anxiety, and labor unrest, the book follows a young, pretty MI5 recruit named Serena Frome who gets sucked into a decidedly low-stakes intelligence caper. Anyone looking for John le Carré-style intrigue will be disappointed. There's no clandestine slink through East Berlin, no sniffing out of Soviet moles. Instead, Frome embarks on an unremarkable undercover mission to financially support a young writer who's shown flashes of unfashionable anticommunism.\nIt quickly turns out that the budding novelist and soon-to-be love interest, of course has an awful lot in common with McEwan himself. As things inevitably get complicated, McEwan has a lot of fun digging into (and taking digs at) his own past, even enlisting old pal Martin Amis, first publisher Tom Maschler, and early mentor Ian Hamilton as characters. Sweet Tooth offers enough atmosphere and forward motion to compensate for the story's slightness (and for an unnecessary twist ending that feels forced). It also provides McEwan with plenty of space to ruminate on writers, writing, and the power of stories both the kind in books and those that we spin in real life.

-{"text": "Free the Trucks\nBy Bill Gerdes\nFrom the Shrimp Pimp to Bacon Mania to Border Grill, the food truck phenomenon is the culinary zeitgeist of the moment. Contestants on Top Chef have competed in food trucks, there’s the Great Food Truck Race on the Food Network and Food Truck Revolution on the Cooking Channel. Mobile cooking is the new molecular gastronomy with chefs scurrying to throw away their beakers and fire up the trailer in their backyard. In Southern California we’re lucky to live in the Mecca of mobile cooking and one can find a solitary food truck or a whole slew of them at various locales, with many trucks operating seven days a week. Chef Roy Choi’s Kogi trucks are the breakout stars of the movement, often drawing lines of up to an hour for the fusion-filled Korean-Mexican tacos. Choi’s success has helped spearhead a culinary movement that has redefined how we enjoy food in the area—unless one lives in the IE.\n“A Nation Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand”\nThat’s due to the fact that Riverside and San Bernardino counties are the only two in the state with a ban on most food trucks. We’re the only citizens in the state unable to enjoy trucks with such names as Fishlips Sushi, the Buttermilk Truck and Chomp Chomp Nation. We’re the only people deprived of Dogzilla Hot Dogs and the Flying Pig truck. Lincoln famously said that a nation divided against itself cannot stand. Is it fair that most of the state gets to enjoy some of the most creative cooking going today while those of us in the Inland Empire content ourselves with the occasional food truck festival, currently the only way most of us in the area get to sample what the rest of SoCal takes for granted?\nThe festivals themselves are great, and there are an increasing number around the area. There’s the I.E. Food Truck Fest happening Oct. 8 at the Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, another at the Fairplex in Pomona Sept. 11; there were a couple of huge ones in June and another in downtown Riverside, the belly of the beast where the trucks got banned in the first place. While the festivals are unique, and one gets to sample a slew of varied grub, having to wait for a festival to try a truck taco becomes a tad irksome. If I loved the Grilled Cheese Truck do I really have to wait for the next festival? Or drive an hour to Los Angeles? The real question here is whether this explosion of festivals is a sign that San Bernardino and Riverside counties may soon be legalizing the trucks? That we’ll get a taste of what L.A and the O.C. have been blessed with during the truck binge? This food writer sure as Hell hopes so—how many mediocre burger shacks can one guy endure?\nRoach Coach vs. Gourmet Eatery\nRiverside County officially banned most food trucks in 1980. At the time the ban may have made sense. The popular image of the “Roach Coach,” a dilapidated and skanky trailer that serves up gamy egg-salad sandwiches was already popularly ingrained in the American psyche. And the Board of Supervisors at the time was no doubt acting to insure that food borne pathogens kept their literally filthy claws off the good voters in the county. Despite having wretched air quality, horrible commutes for many of its denizens, potholes the size of Buicks and a lower life expectancy than Orange or L.A. counties, Riverside officials are quite safety conscious—witness the ban on firework sales. Or food trucks for that matter.\nHence the 31-year blockade on mobile eateries. The money shot in Ordinance No. 580 reads, “It is the purpose and intent of this ordinance to prohibit the operation of certain types of mobile food facilities . . . in order to safeguard life, limb, property, and the general welfare of the public.” Lynne Wilder, Program Chief for the health department in Riverside County, agrees that the ban came about through legitimate health concerns. One concern she expressed is that water tanks often run dry and then employees are no longer able to clean up or wash their hands. Wilder also suggested that too much food in a small space without sufficient refrigeration could become a problem.\nThe Truth and the Myths\nJethro Naude, who owns and runs the Slapfish truck along with Chef Andrew Gruel, sees these health concerns as outdated and based on old stereotypes. As he puts it, “Food trucks are misunderstood and leagues above the old roach coaches.” They also, he points out, offer up some of the freshest and healthiest cooking around, the occasional truck focusing on the deepest of fried notwithstanding. While we’re talking, Jethro lets me sample a “Lobsticle,” basically half a lobster tail on a skewer, along with possibly the best shrimp burrito I’ve ever eaten. My only health concern at the moment is that I’m eating too much, and I leave the shade of the Slapfish truck happy, full, and convinced that Jethro Naude is right about the healthy quality cooking going on inside these admittedly small areas.\nEdward de la Cruz and his brother Joseph Ramirez run Los Hermanos Lonchera Sin Fronteras, a Riverside-based former food truck company. The brothers now operate a catering company that uses mobile grills when they cater at various functions, including parties. De la Cruz maintains that having to drive to Irvine every day to run the food truck eventually became to stressful and caused them to take a different direction with the business. He’s also no fan of the truck ban saying that he “never understood it,” and that it was “unfair.” De la Cruz also mentioned a few rumors he had heard regarding the origins of the ban, the first being that Riverside and Norco were more agricultural back then and feared the trucks would be inundated with flies. Another more macabre tale concerned a possible former food truck employee who had mysteriously burned to death in a hot oil fire started in a food truck. The Weekly couldn’t confirm either rumor, but both possibilities are far more prosaic than fears of E. coli or local restaurants fretting about competition.\nThe Middle of the Road\nThat fear, one of food trucks parking outside stationary restaurants and poaching potential customers, hovers slightly below the radar in any food truck conversation ban. Wilder mentioned this as a possible reason for the original ban saying it may have been a worry that they would take business away from stationary restaurants. Certainly Jeff Mineo, who works for Farmer Boys Inc., thinks so. At the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors meeting to determine if the truck ban would be lifted Mineo mentioned unfair competition since the trucks are mobile. Yes, although unfair competition for Farmer Boys might not be such a terrible idea.\nThe San Bernardino City Council wound up adopting a “middle of the road” compromise according to Supervisor Janice Rutherford’s communications director Scott Van Horne. Supervisor Rutherford who, along with Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt, has been an early proponent of opening up San Bernardino County to trucks, saw her efforts to truly free them up somewhat curtailed. Instead the board will allow the trucks at festivals and some special events but only with the approval of the particular city involved. While stressing that middle-of-the-road option was not her first choice Supervisor Rutherford went on to say, “It will—at least—open the door for more food trucks and food truck-related businesses here in our county.” Rutherford also gave an All-American rationale for her support of lifting the ban in the first place saying, “I supported lifting the ban on food trucks because I support free enterprise.” Free enterprise, innovative cooking and healthy food—who could really be against such wholesomeness? Well, I mean besides Riverside and San Bernardino counties of course.\nFull and Happy\nOn a recent Saturday I slunk out of Riverside intent on committing what in the IE might be considered a crime, aiding and abetting a mobile kitchen facility. Yes, I was going to actually eat at some food trucks. I drove west on the 91, through Corona, steely and determined not to make eye-contact with anyone lest they grasp my nefarious plan to eat food cooked in a trailer. In Yorba Linda, I was almost out of the woods; still a brief moment of paranoia as a highway patrol officer came up on my right, but then I was in Anaheim. I had made it. I was free.\nWell, free to attend a food truck gathering at Servite High School, a gathering that may or may not have been a fundraiser for the football team—I was too busy eating to find out. As I walked across the track field there were trucks of all colors and cuisines. The blue Bacon Mania truck, the graffiti inspired Brats Berlin and the ultra-chic Barcelona on the Go. I sampled yummy savory crepes from Crepes Bonaparte, bacon-wrapped dates from the Barcelona truck and a roast pork taco from Dos Chinos. I didn’t get sick, just full and happy.\nAnd I suppose that’s the point really—the bans in the Inland Empire would make sense if people were getting ill or worse from eating at these trucks. But the most people could come up with about sickness was a rumor about someone being burned alive with cooking oil. Even Wilder failed to come up with any concrete stories of anyone in other counties getting ill from eating at a truck. And people get sick from eating at regular restaurants. Living in the IE can be rough enough at times with scorching temperatures, jokes about “Rivertucky” and Ken Calvert. It’s time to free the trucks and let the good times roll.", "char_count": 9475, "token_count": 2368, "k_exact": 3.6634, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.853, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Fans pack McCovey Cove for Derby\nWild scene behind right-field wall at AT&T Park on Monday\nSAN FRANCISCO -- The All-Star Home Run Derby is always a hot ticket, but to hear one longtime Giants fan and personal watercraft enthusiast tell it Monday, ducats for the Derby were easier to score than a spot in McCovey Cove.\nWhen Denny Bahr, a self-described \"40-year-old Bay Area half-beatnik,\" says he missed the boat, he's speaking literally.\nBahr, who said he floats in a kayak beyond the right-field wall at AT&T Park during \"about 20 or 30\" games a season, was among the Cove regulars who were unable to secure the proper registration required for entry into the \"security zone\" in China Basin Channel.\n\"I'm not mad about having to register at all; I understand the security issues and all that,\" Bahr said while looking down on the Cove from the right-field Arcade as Ryan Howard of the Phillies took his first-round hacks.\n\"I'm mad at myself. We don't need to register for regular games, but I knew we did for the All-Star stuff, and that the space was limited, and that it was free to register. I just forgot, man. And by the time I remembered, all the permits were gone.\n\"Gone like Bonds.\"\nQuick note: The right-field Arcade from which Bahr was looking down -- with palpable sadness -- on the colorful armada below is inside AT&T Park.\n\"I'd rather be down there,\" he said. \"I'm not alone, either. I've heard that a bunch of people who are out there a lot during the season did the same thing. Doesn't make me feel any better, though.\"\nNor did it make him feel any better that the bobbing flotilla -- kayaks, canoes, surfboards, boogie boards, rafts and at least one pair of giant foam waterskis -- saw but one ball drop into their aquatic playground during the entire contest.\nIt was a foul ball, however, so it didn't count. Brewers big man Prince Fielder's drive barely cleared the Portwalk that separates the outside wall of the ballpark and the Cove, and was pulled from the greenish murk within three seconds by a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing man who didn't hesitate to dive off his Giants-orange kayak for the coveted orb.\n\"Did you see that guy, Mommy?\" gushed Scotty Kendrick, an 8-year-old from Boston who was clearly awed by the Hawaiian plunge. \"He's gonna be really cold in a little while.\"\nKendrick's mother, Janis, said, \"Well, it must be worth it to him. That ball might be worth a lot of money, I guess.\"\nActually, Bahr noted, the ball likely wouldn't fetch much.\n\"I'm guessing the balls for this have an All-Star logo [they do], but there's still going to be a lot of them out there on whatever market there is,\" he said. \"And bro, I don't think people are out there on the water trying to make money. Sure, we'd all like to get a Barry Bonds homer, especially a milestone shot. I'd take that golden nugget to the bank, no doubt. But I'm out there because I love the water, I love the people, I love the scene.\n\"It's a scene, man. That's what it's all about.\"\nIt certainly was a scene Monday, as people occasionally bounded from craft to craft, beverage in hand. Think MTV's Spring Break spectacles at Lake Havasu, Ariz. -- only the cavorters are about 15 years older and wearing, for the most part, a lot more clothes.\nSpeaking of clothes, there is no dress code in the Cove. The sartorial splendor Monday evening included jerseys, swimsuits, wetsuits, fleece jackets, lifejackets, bikinis, board shorts and a couple of pirate costumes.\nNot Pirates uniforms. Pirate costumes.\n\"No way those people are locals,\" sniffed Andy Cannon, an 18-year-old from San Francisco who spent the second round strolling the Portwalk, alternately rubbernecking co-eds and joining the spontaneous derisive Dodgers chants that came up from the water every 15 minutes or so. \"You see those weak hats? San Fran comes stronger than that.\"\n\"But I am jealous of the pirates. I'll admit that much. They're in the Cove and I'm not.\"\nMychael Urban is a national writer for MLB.com.

June 22, 2011\nIn base theatre better than tour I have seen the Blue Man Group three times. Once in Chicago, once in Las Vegas and once on tour. Out of the three the performance of the one at the theatre in Chicago was the best. The Las Vegas one was good too, but the tour lost some of the magic. The one in Chicago was awesome because it is a smaller more inmate then the other two. Also since they have a long term lease on the theatre and they are they only ones that performer there they made the space all theirs. The one in Vegas was great it was back when they used to be at the Luxor. So I can't say anything about their new digs Venetian. But this show was most special to be because I proposed to my wife back stage after the show with the cast and crew. The tour I feel is still good but loses some of the magic. So I recommend if you see them go to one of their base theatres in Chicago, New York, Las Vegas, Boston, or Orlando. July 1, 2011\nNon-stop entertainment Saw BMG in Chicago for the 1st time. Theater is small and every seat is a good seat. Their performance was awesome -- such creativity!! This 3 man group is adept at musical and acting skills. Their facial expresssions \"speak\" volumes.

Children (ages 10 and up) as well as adults are kept in rapt attention, looking forward as to what the group will do next. BMG interacts well with audience and selects a couple of people to go on stage with them -- this makes the show even more hilarious. Tickets arent't cheap, but you certainly get your money's worth!

-{"text": "A Life Nearly Lost\nby Bryan Gibson\nI had been asleep for nearly two hours when I received the phone call. My sixteen year-old niece, Valerie Baker, had been in a terrible car accident, leaving her in critical condition. As soon as I got off the phone, I started praying, something I’m sure other family members were doing at the same time. The next day I received word that she was going to pull through, although there was the possibility that she would lose her left leg. Three days after the accident, her left leg was amputated from the middle of the knee joint. The following day successful reconstructive surgery was performed on her right knee, which had also been badly damaged in the accident. At the time of this writing, Valerie is experiencing the normal “lows” associated with an ordeal like this, but she is very thankful to be alive. I’ve done a lot of thinking over the last week about some lessons we can learn from this whole situation.\n§ Life, although a precious blessing, is very fragile and uncertain.\nAs I mentioned earlier, Valerie has had some low moments, but she is thankful to be alive. The state trooper who investigated the accident was amazed that someone survived this accident. Actually, two people did. The girl who was a passenger in the car Valerie was driving escaped with hardly a scratch, even though the car hit a tree, was split in two, and flipped a couple times. Most accidents of this magnitude do not have a “happy ending.” Every day people die suddenly from traffic accidents and from other causes. In other words, life is fragile; it can be taken from us in the “blink of an eye.” We must consider each day a blessing from God and make the very best of it (Psalms 118:24). What we must do with each day is get ready for THE DAY. Because life is so uncertain, THE DAY may come sooner than any of us expect.\n§ Life is full of sorrow (Psalms 90:10).\nI have seen more tears shed in this past week than I have seen in a long time—from Valerie, from her parents, from other family members, from many of her friends who had come to check on her. It triggers a lot of emotion when you see a sixteen year-old girl lying in intensive care, with tubes running everywhere from her body. This life can be very good at times, but it can also be awfully cruel. It should make us long for that place where God will wipe away all tears, where there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying (Revelation 21:4).\n§ Suffering can bring out the best in people.\nIt is too early to say with certainty how Valerie will react to all that has happened to her. But what I do know about her gives me confidence that this whole ordeal will strengthen her character. This physical “weakness” may prove to make her stronger spiritually (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). What happened to her was a bad thing, but God has the power to make it work for good (Romans 8:28).\nThis accident has already brought out the best in other people. There is simply no way to measure the amount of compassion that has been shown to my niece and to our family. Prayers have been said, words of encouragement have been spoken, food has been cooked, money has been raised to help with expenses, and the list could go on and on. A long time ago, God showed us the true meaning of love (1 John 3:16). How comforting it is, how encouraging, when others demonstrate that same kind of love. I spoke with Valerie on the phone before writing this article. She told me she loved me, and then she said, “tell Aunt Lynn and all your family that I love them too.” I suspect Valerie understands the meaning and value of love more than she ever has in her entire life.\n§ We should be thankful that we have a powerful, loving heavenly Father who hears and answers our prayers (1 John 5:14-15).\nWe sometimes make the statement in certain situations, “well, all we can do is pray.” We should instead say, “the best thing we can do is pray.” Word was spread about my niece’s accident to faithful Christians in many other places, and they all petitioned the throne of God on her behalf. Yes, I know she lost part of her leg, but she is alive, and I sincerely believe that we have God to thank for that. We can also give thanks to Him that she did not sustain any head injuries. In time, with the help of a prosthesis, she will be able to walk again, even run and jump again. Overcoming a brain injury would have been much tougher. Wouldn’t it be terrible in a situation like this to not be able to pray with confidence, because we knew our lives were not pleasing to God—to know that we so desperately needed God’s help, but not have the confidence that we would receive it? (1 John 3:22).\nValerie is now out of intensive care—but only in one sense. She remains under the intensive care of God.\nEditor’s update: Valerie went on to finish high school, and then college, and is now in the midst of her first year of teaching. She is a faithful Christian and plans to marry another faithful Christian this summer (2008).", "char_count": 4990, "token_count": 1247, "k_exact": 1.8769, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.776, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "The U.S. Capitol is reflected in its reflecting pool / Alex Brandon, AP\nThe mandatory, across-the-board budget cuts from the federal sequestration are causing little noticeable effect on most school campuses, but schools for Native Americans are already feeling the pinch.\nJacquelyn Power and her students have been living with less since last November. Power is both superintendent and principal of the tiny Blackwater Community School on Arizona's Gila River Indian Reservation, one of about 1,300 school districts nationwide that receives federal Impact Aid for schools that can't collect local property taxes. So they're preparing for a hard school year, perhaps one of the hardest since the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs built Blackwater in 1939.\n\"We have this amazing little school that is beating the odds,\" she said, \"but you can't continue to keep it up with no funding.\"\nSchools located both on federal Indian land and military bases receive Impact Aid, but children on Indian lands account for nearly half of Impact Aid dollars, even though they're outnumbered by military kids by more than three to one. While federal funding generally accounts for about 10% of most school districts' budgets, in schools like Blackwater, it can account for one-third or more of the budget.\nWhen Powers' annual check arrived last November, it totaled only about 70% of what she was expecting. Anticipating the mandatory cuts originally due to hit this past January, federal bookkeepers cut her a check with a $62,000 hole in the middle. \"That's a huge amount of money in our budget,\" she said. Add to that the first round of anticipated federal cuts for both poor and disabled children and she expects class sizes to rise. She has already spent most of her emergency fund.\nA few hours east, Window Rock, Ariz., Superintendent Deborah Jackson-Dennison confirmed, \"We're already under the sequester, right now.\" As she spoke Thursday, principals were gathered in a conference room down the hall from her Fort Defiance, Ariz., office, trying to figure out how to select teachers for pink slips. Thirty-five teachers have already said they'll leave the district this spring, but Jackson-Dennison needs to trim another 17. She began the school year with 179 teachers and can afford only 127 next fall. \"The word has been out about this,\" she said. \"People are leaving on their own.\"\nShe plans to close or consolidate three of her seven schools.\nJohn Forkenbrock, executive director of the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools, said he's getting phone calls and e-mails from superintendents looking for help putting together their 2013-14 budgets, but uncertainty about how the sequestration will play out means he can't really help them. Districts could get a little relief as the federal budget process plays out. Power's 70% could eventually rise to 80% when final numbers are in. \"We have to think that the glass is still half full.\"\nJackson-Dennison said she's not sure where her laid-off teachers, 80% of whom are Navajo, will find work. Albuquerque is a three-hour drive and that district is feeling the sequestration's effects too. \"They've been here for centuries - they're from here and many generations have been here,\" she said.

-{"text": "A city in northwest Broward County is joining three in west Broward in trying to control pit bulls, a breed of dog known for violent tendencies.\nThis week, the North Lauderdale City Council voted to ask Broward County to increase the minimum amount of liability insurance it requires owners of dogs declared as ``vicious`` to carry.\nUnder the city`s proposal, the minimum insurance coverage would be raised from $100,000 to $500,000.\n``Everybody is doing it, so to speak,`` said council member Steve Hillebrand, who brought the proposal to the council. ``We`re asking the county to upgrade its insurance requirements.``\nNorth Lauderdale operates under the county`s ordinance controlling ``vicious dogs`` as opposed to making specific provisions for pit bulls.\nHillebrand said he also wants the county to amend the ordinance, identifying pit bulls as vicious dogs.\n``That`s a gray area right now,`` he said. ``But these dogs can bite with 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, stronger than a German shepherd or Doberman pincher, and that`s dangerous.``\nThe issue of safety is paramount, council member Ben Sonnerreich said.\n``We have an awful lot of kids in this town. If a pit bull gets into a group of kids, it can cause a lot of damage,`` Sonnerreich said. ``Let`s see that the kids are all (protected).``\nThe west Broward cities of Sunrise and Lauderdale Lakes recently passed ordinances aimed at controlling pit bulls and other vicious dogs. The ordinances require that owners leash, pen and muzzle their animals, and have at least $300,000 in liability insurance.\nOn Tuesday, Lauderhill approved a dog-control ordinance that says a dog may be termed vicious after one biting incident instead of three.\nNorth Lauderdale officials did not discuss enacting their own pit bull ordinance. But they said they want the stronger county measures as a precaution.\n``I don`t recall any complaints of (pit bull) attacks off hand, but there is growing concern in the county,`` North Lauderdale City Manager Eric Soroka said. ``We keep reading about people getting maimed by these dogs.``\nAlthough higher liability insurance is part of each city`s legislation, pit bull owners in all cities may find insurance hard to get.\n``We can`t insure a home if the family owns a pit bull,`` said Dan Sawyer, a local agent for State Farm Insurance. ``The number of claims makes writing that kind of policy prohibitive.\n``We don`t want to deny anyone insurance, but we have to in these cases,`` he said. ``I don`t know any major company that writes these policies.``\nMost homeowners have $100,000 liability policies, and a $300,000 policy would cost only about $20 more per year, Sawyer said. ``But if the (pit bull) insurance was available, it would cost a fortune.``\nSamuel Goren, the city of North Lauderdale`s city attorney, said the insurance problem may make any ordinance against vicious dogs unenforcable.\n``If you can`t get insurance, the law is diluted. You can`t enforce it,`` Goren said. ``It`s an interesting problem.``\nGoren said he would prepare the pit bull resolution for the North Lauderdale council`s meeting on Thursday.\nIn other action, the council:\n-- Set aside $17,723 to expand its summer recreation programs.\n-- Granted a zoning variance allowing a 12-foot diameter television dish at 6560 SW Seventh Court.\n-- Approved the installation of three game machines in the Value Cinema in the 1300 block of South State Road 7.\n-- Declared some city property, including cars, trucks and two-way radios, as surplus, making them available to be auctioned off on June 10.", "char_count": 3570, "token_count": 892, "k_exact": 2.2485, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8457, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "PM and Montek rubbish Sibal's telecom proposal\nBy Sps Pannu\nPrime Minister Manmohan Singh has trashed telecom minister Kapil Sibal's proposal to unilaterally amend the government's licensing agreement with existing telecom companies and force them to pay auction-determined prices for the spectrum they currently hold.\nThe PM put his stamp of approval on the finance ministry views in response to a draft note circulated to various ministries in preparation for a Cabinet meeting scheduled for Tuesday.\nSibal seems to be buffeted between the PM and Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, who has similarly raised Cain over amending the licensing agreement.\nOpposed: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia\nAccording to sources, Sibal's proposal would have gone against the interests of dual technology companies Tata Teleservices and RCom and benefited GSM operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone.\nThe licenses of dual technology companies are valid till 2021 and beyond, while those of the GSM players are due for renewal a good seven years earlier in 2014-15. The dual technology companies would, therefore, end up losing a lot more than the GSM players if the department of telecommunications (DoT) proposal is pushed through.\nThe PM has, as finance minister, made it clear that the sanctity of contracts need to be weighed carefully, thus implying that this would not be the case if the DoT proposal of unilaterally amending the licence was to be implemented.\nCabinet Minister for Human Resource Development (HRD), Communications and Information Technology Kapil Sibal\nThe finance ministry has pointed out that the government has allotted the start-up spectrum and contracted spectrum to the existing players and by doing so has acquired certain contractual obligations for the duration of the licence.\nThe PM has come out in favour of a careful assessment of the impact on investor sentiment that frequent changes in contract terms may have. The impact on foreign investors is also considered important and has come up for special mention.\nThe Sibal-headed DoT, on the other hand, appears to be banking on the \"level playing field\" argument for old and new players in its proposal to charge auction- determined prices.\nThe finance ministry's logic is in sync with the views of the Planning Commission, which has gone into the issue in considerable detail.\nThe Commission has also stated that the terms of the unified access (UAS) licence give the government the power to change the terms at any time.\n'This is indeed a wide ranging power, but is usually meant to be used in an extreme case. If it is interpreted to mean that any change can be used at any time, it becomes to open ended, leading to uncertainty. It is doubtful that banks or other investors will finance telecom investments if the terms of licences are subject to such open ended certainty,' it concludes.\nAccording to the Planning Commission, the only rationale for the change seems to be that there should be a level playing field between new and incumbent operators. It has observed that all industries see new entrants entering at different times.\n'New entrants always incur different costs and very often face different tax environments from what the incumbents faced. For example, if interest rates have risen at a time when new incumbents are investing, they have a disadvantage over existing incumbents but interest rates are rationalised retrospectively on all outstanding loans of existing incumbents. New entrants in telecom are entering a field where the advantage of existing incumbents are known and it will be reflected in the competitive bid for the spectrum,' the Planning Commission further argued.\nMeanwhile, agriculture minister Sharad Pawar on Monday evening recused himself from heading the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) on telecom, three days after he replaced Pranab Mukherjee in the job.\nPawar, who was scheduled to chair the first meeting of the new EGoM, postponed the meeting and then wrote to the Prime Minister recalling how attempts were made in the past to drag him in the 2G controversy and that it would be appropriate for him to recuse himself.", "char_count": 4229, "token_count": 1057, "k_exact": 3.5771, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8682, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Pobst All the Way in Monterey Pirelli World Challenge; Cunningham, Lamb Take Class Wins\nMay 11, 2012 - MONTEREY, Calif. - Randy Pobst, of Gainesville, Ga., led all the way to win the Pirelli World Challenge Cadillac Sports Car Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, piloting his Volvo S60 to the GT class win. Peter Cunningham, of Milwaukee, Wis., captured the GTS win, while Todd Lamb, of Atlanta, Ga., won in Touring Car.\nRandy Pobst leads the field into Turn Two at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (Weber Image)\nStarting from the pole with his No. 6 K-PAX Racing Volvo S60, Pobst got the holeshot on the standing start, built a 3.5-second lead over teammate Alex Figge, of Denver, Colo., by lap three and was never seriously challenged to win at the undulating 11-turn, 2.358-mile circuit for the third time, and first since 2006. It was Pobst’s first series win of the 2012 season, the 27th of his career.\n“This is the combination of so much hard work by the K-PAX Volvo racing team and this track and the Volvo working well together,” Pobst said after the race. “The car’s better than ever. We had some trouble keeping it running last year. I think they’ve got it sorted out, though. We’re going to have some good races with these guys for the rest of the year. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is just right for the Volvo with its all-wheel drive, especially coming out of Turn 11. It just rocks off that corner!”\nPobst set a new lap record during the race, with a 1:27.491 (92.087 mph).\nFigge started third in his No. 9 K-PAX Racing Volvo S60, but launched into second at the start around the No. 8 Cadillac Racing Cadillac CTS-V of Andy Pilgrim. From there, he maintained second for the duration of the 28-lap, 62.664-mile contest, closing twice under caution, but never forcing the issue with his teammate.\n“A great day for the team and for Volvo,” Figge said. “Andy Pilgrim was really a gentleman, as he always is, driving clean and his own race. That made it a lot more fun for me as well as we had a little dice on the restart. Other than that, it was just about putting laps in and making sure we had a one-two for the guys.\n“The restarts were the only places to maybe try something, but the cars don’t run really well in traffic, even behind a similar car. Yesterday, in qualifying, it was Randy’s day and he had the pace today. It wasn’t going to be some easy move to go by Randy, so I think it was better to run a clean race, take the points and the one-two.”\nPilgrim was happy with his third-place run, and had to hold off a charging Lawson Aschenbach at the finish, who started from the rear of the field in his No. 1 TruSpeed/Privacy Star/EnTrust Porsche 911 GT3 after missing qualifying.\n“Manufacturers points is all we care about,” Pilgrim said. “Of course, I was going to try and get to Alex Figge, because I wanted him to be a cushion between us and the Porsche. It just really kept me focused. Lawson raced me fair and really close. The brakes on our car made it for us. He didn’t make anything on us on brakes.\n“It was a really good run. It was an elastic-band effect with Volvo. They were slow going into the corners and rockets coming out. I had the best shot on restarts, to try and get Alex. He was very clean, we were bumping, but it was clean. He gave me room and I gave him room. But once I got to the end of the corner, they took off. I tried, really, because I wanted to put him between me and Lawson. Having Lawson behind me, holy smoke…I had to just be perfect for those four or five laps at the end. Luckily, we were.”\nFor his efforts, moving from 15th on the grid to finish fourth, Aschenbach earned the Optima Batteries Best Standing Start award (advancing five positions on the opening lap) as well as the Cadillac CTS-V Move of the Race.\nSteve Ott, who started sixth but moved to fourth on the opening lap, running closely behind Figge and Pilgrim for the first 10 laps, finished fifth in the No. 85 Racing For Our Heros/Loctite Porsche 911 GT3 to equal his career-best.\nMike Skeen (Chevrolet Corvette), Johnny O’Connell (Cadillac CTS-V), Justin Marks (Porsche 911 GT3), Tomy Drissi (Porsche 911 GT3) and Bret Curtis (Porsche 911 GT3) completed the top 10 in GT.\nCadillac drivers sit one-two in the Championship point standings, with O’Connell on top, with 573, followed by Pilgrim, with 559. Pobst moved to third, with 502, followed by Aschenbach (427) and Sofronas (409), who retired with a mechanical problem on the front straight to bring out the race’s first caution on lap 15.\nCadillac also maintained the Manufacturers Championship lead over Porsche 37 to 33, with Volvo closing the gap, with 25, followed by Chevrolet, with eight.\nCunningham started from his fourth-consecutive GTS class pole position in the No. 42 Acura/HPD/RealTime Racing Acura TSX, but saw Jack Baldwin’s No. 68 Voodoo Ride-Invoice Prep/Hot Wheels Porsche Cayman S get the jump from the second starting spot. It wasn’t long, though before Cunningham made the Invisible Glass Clean Pass of the Race to put his Acura back up front, a position he held from lap two until the finish to capture the first win of the new V-6 powered Acura in Pirelli World Challenge GTS competition.\n“I was pleased we had such good speed at the start,” Cunningham said. “We were able to get a good run out of six. We went side-by-side up the hill and we touched a little, but we ended up in the lead there. From there, it was a controlled pace for a while. I could do my laps and still be nice to the tires. Then those two yellows, of course, we’ve been there before so we know what can happen. The first restart was great, and I had a good advantage after the first lap. Of course, then the yellow came out again. After the second restart, Jack was coming and he was doing a great job and pressuring pretty hard and I managed to just stay ahead of him to the checker.”\nWith the win, and coupled with the retirement of pre-race point leader Justin Bell, Cunningham took over the Championship point lead, with 602 to Baldwin’s 552. Bell was running in the top five in his No. 50 eBay Motors Ford Mustang Boss 302S but was involved in a heavy incident coming out of the last corner with Touring Car polesitter Tristan Herbert’s No. 33 HPA/RennGruppe/Brimtek/SG Racing Volkswagen Jetta GLI, which brought out the race’s final caution on lap 21. Neither driver was injured.\n“When I came around and saw Justin in the wall, that was awful,” Cunningham said. “Justin is a good friend, and you don’t want to get points because the friend was in the wall so that’s a bummer for that team. We’ve had our days, too, so it was a good day points wise for RealTime and Acura and for the drivers points. We’re proud to get these points and carry on now to Detroit.”\nCunningham also set a new track record for GTS during the race, with a fastest time of 1:34.137 (85.585 mph).\nAaron Povoledo, of Toronto, Canada, finished third in the No. 26 CapaldiRacing.com Ford Mustang Boss 302S, passing the No. 34 Acura/HPD/RealTime Racing Acura TSX of Nick Esayian on the final lap of the race. Andy Lee brought the No. 20 Best IT Chevrolet Camaro home fifth.\nLee now sits fourth in GTS points with 502, 24 behind Bell. Michael Galati finished sixth in his Kia Optima and sits fifth in points, with 391.\nAcura took over the Manufacturers Championship lead, with 32 points to Ford’s 31, Chevrolet’s 20 and Kia’s 13.\nTouring Car had the biggest shakeup in its race, both from the starting grid and related to the Championship.\nHerbert started from the pole, but was jumped by the Honda Civics of Compass360 teammates Todd Lamb (No. 71 National Karting News/HPD) and Ryan Winchester (No. 72 Ligon Industries/HPD) at the start. Point leader Michael Cooper, who started fifth in his No. 03 Mazdaspeed Motorsports MAZDASPEED3 had contact off the start and immediately had a flat tire, necessitating a trip to the pit lane, dropping him to last.\nLamb led the entire way, but had to deal with a charging Jeff Altenburg, of Ellicott City, Md., in his No. 43 HPA/RennGruppe Brimtek/SG Racing Volkswagen Jetta GLI in the race’s closing laps. Their battle was broken off in the end by a slower GTS car that separated the two and allowed Lamb to open up more of a gap to the checkered flag.\n“Toward the end, we got a couple of yellows and bunched up the field a little bit,” Lamb said. “I tried to conserve the car for the first part of the race knowing that, toward the end, we’d definitely be getting a yellow and there would be a battle. We’ve struggled against the turbos all season, so we knew they were probably going to conserve tires and come on strong at the end. It was a shame to see Tristan get taken out there, but at the same time we’re here to get some points. I had a pretty good battle with Altenburg there at the end, we raced nice and clean but I definitely had to be defensive and hold him off. It was tough.”\nIt was Lamb’s second Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car win of his rookie season, and the former SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup Champion took the point lead over that series’ defending Champion Cooper, 771 to 755.\n“It was a great points day,” Lamb added. “It’s nice to win races, but we’re here to win the Championship for Honda. A huge step in the right direction today, so we should be close to leading the points.”\nAltenburg scored his best finish of the year at a track that he has twice won previously.\nWinchester finished third, his fourth-consecutive podium result, but his car failed post-qualifying technical inspection, promoting Patrick Seguin and his No. 80 Theberge Homes/capsparts.com Volkswagen GTI to third, followed by Shea Holbrook’s No. 67 TrueCar.com Honda Civic Si. Cooper salvaged a fifth-place finish after his pit stop. Seguin was also the Sunoco Hard Charger for most postitions improved throughout the race.\nHerbert now sits third in points, with 515, followed by Gustavo Michelsen (476) and Winchester (463).\nHonda leads the Touring Car Manufacturers’ Championship, with 48 points, to Mazda’s 35. Volkswagen is third, with 26.\nToday’s race will be broadcast Sunday, May 27 at 11 p.m. (EDT) on NBC Sports Network.\nThe series next travels to Detroit for the Cadillac V-Series Challenge at Belle Isle, part of the IZOD IndyCar weekend, June 1-3.\nFull results and points are available at www.world-challenge.com.\nFollow World Challenge on Twitter @WCRacing.

-{"text": "One of the biggest difficulties of city gardening is the mess of getting started. When you're gardening in pots and containers you need to fill them up, turn the earth, water it and plant seeds or small seedlings. This is hard work, and messy. How do you get those unwieldy bags of potting soil home? What about your three-story walkup?\nHere are a few tips for the logistics of city gardening. We have muddied our kitchen floor a few times, playing in the dirt, and it's always worth it in the end. But there are a few things that can help you keep the process manageable - even in a small apartment.\n• Buy smaller bags of dirt - Obvious, yes, but sometimes we get carried away at the garden center and forget that we are going to have to sling those giant bags of dirt around all by ourselves at home.\n• Take a friend - Go in with a friend on all your container gardening shopping; you can split things that you don't need, and you can keep each other from getting too excited by all the plants you could grow! Sometimes it helps to have a reality check when confronted by eight kinds of tomatoes and five kinds of lavender.\n• Have a party in the park - Meet up with other friends and a few bags of potting soil in the park or a green public space. You can fill pots and trade plants there, leaving any extra soil behind where it won't be a mess. You'll need a cab and a lot of help to get home, though; those filled pots can be heavy! This works best with small pots of herbs and other houseplants.\n• Use your bathtub - The tub is the most contained spot in the house for dumping soil, filling pots, and washing them down. Yes, you'll have to clean the tub afterwards (and make sure that no gravel or thick chunks go down the drain) but if you have no outside spot to garden, then this is the best. It keeps all that wonderful yet messy dirt well contained.\n• Start and end on the same day - One of the best tips we have for keeping gardening manageable is to buy dirt, plants and seeds - and get them all set up right away. The longer that our gardening stuff sits around, the less likely we are to do actually use it. It also takes up a lot of space in a small city apartment. Make your plans so you can buy dirt, fill pots, start seeds, transplant herbs and get everything done that you can in just one day.\nWhat other tips do you have for handling the logistics of gardening in the city?", "char_count": 2393, "token_count": 598, "k_exact": 2.0948, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8025, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Hacker collective Anonymous attacked the websites of Syrian embassies, and the Syrian military relocated chemical-weapons stockpiles, prompting the United States to threaten intervention. In Hillah, Iraq, bombings at a roadside campsite for Shia pilgrims left at least 29 dead, and in Bahrain police fired teargas on protesters condemning Kim Kardashian’s visit to promote a new branch of her milkshake franchise. The United Nations held a day of solidarity with Palestinians, on which its general assembly voted 138–9 to recognize the state of Palestine. In response, Israel announced that it would build 3,000 new homes in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, and would withhold more than $100 million in tax revenue raised for the Palestinian government, dealing what U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called an “almost fatal blow” to the prospect of peace.

Iceland exported over two tons of ram penis to China, and North Korea’s state news agency reported the discovery of a unicorn lair in Pyongyang.\nPresident Barack Obama introduced a proposal to prevent the United States from falling over the “fiscal cliff.” The plan, which includes such measures as higher tax rates on wealthy citizens and a $400-billion cut to federal health programs, caused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) to burst into laughter. “Right now, I would say we’re nowhere, period,” said House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), outside whose office nude activists protested potential cuts to HIV programs. “I think it’s important Congress acts now, I mean right now,” said Vice President Joe Biden at the opening day of the first Costco in Washington, D.C. “I’m looking for pies.” Obama and Mitt Romney met for the first time since the U.S. presidential election, over a luncheon of turkey chili at the White House. eBay pulled a listing for Obama in Pee Pee, an artwork by conservative television host Glenn Beck that features a bobblehead of the president purportedly submerged in Beck’s urine, and Bill Clinton disclosed that during his presidency he sent only two emails, one to troops in the Balkans and the other in response to a message sent from space by astronaut John Glenn. “We have gone almost a third of the way around the world in the time it has taken me to write this letter,” wrote Glenn. “The rest of the crew is waiting.”\nScientists determined that lying increases the temperature of one’s nose, that having a lot of Facebook friends leads to anxiety, and that hyperparasitic wasps, which lay eggs in parasitic wasps that lay eggs in caterpillars, are sometimes parasitized by other hyperparasitic wasps. Germany moved to criminalize sex with animals, leading zoophilia lobbyist Michael Kiok, who lives with an Alsatian named Cessie, to threaten legal action. “We see animals as partners and not as a means of gratification,” said Kiok. “We don’t force them to do anything.” A Florida woman was arrested after she assaulted her boyfriend for climaxing first. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge[*] announced that they were expecting a royal baby, and a lexicographer published arguments that Robert Burchfield, a former Oxford English Dictionary editor popularly credited with overcoming the dictionary’s Anglocentrism during the 1970s and 1980s, had actually expunged thousands of English words with foreign origins. “If a word gets into the OED, it never leaves,” said the lexicographer. “If it becomes obsolete, we put a dagger beside it, but it never leaves.” The Associated Press eliminated homophobia from its stylebook, and four gay men filed suit against JONAH, a Jewish conversion-therapy office in Jersey City, New Jersey, for defrauding them of thousands of dollars spent on such allegedly curative techniques as visiting bathhouses and beating effigies of their mothers with a tennis racket. “Our therapy,” said JONAH’s co-director, “is very conventional.”\nDear Harper’s Magazine,\nI am a fervent subscriber (if there can be such a thing) to your excellent magazine: we have nothing equivalent in England, and I am very grateful to you for being so challenging and thought-provoking.\nHowever, the English pedant in me is reeling at your otherwise excellent Harper’s Weekly in which you announce that “Prince WIlliam and Princess Kate” are having a baby.

-{"text": "Principal Proposed Natural Treatments\nWho among us has never had a nosebleed? Whether a dab of blood on a tissue or a terrifying flood, a nosebleed can arise from many causes: dry winter air, colds, injuries, or the common if unsavory habit of picking one's nose. In many cases, no cause can be identified with certainty.\nSometimes nosebleeds arise more frequently because of faulty or weak collagen , a strengthening protein present in blood vessel walls and the surrounding connective tissue. Collagen problems may lead to nosebleeds in people who take corticosteroids and those with a condition called \"fragile capillaries.\" Corticosteroids, including nasal steroids used for allergies, can thin the collagen in the mucous membranes lining the nose. In fragile capillaries, weak or defective collagen in blood vessel walls may contribute to bleeding. People with such collagen problems may have problems with bleeding gums, heavy menstrual periods, and bruising in addition to nosebleeds.\nRarely, the cause of nosebleeds and other bleeding lies in the blood itself. Anything that reduces blood clotting may lead to nosebleeds. Drugs such as warfarin (Coumadin) or heparin , or regular use of aspirin, decrease the blood's tendency to clot. Caution : if you are taking such medications and begin to experience nosebleeds, talk to your doctor. Even natural substances such as ginkgo , policosanol , high-dose vitamin E , and garlic may increase the tendency to bleed.\nConventional treatments for nosebleeds include various maneuvers for stopping acute bleeding, followed by the diagnosis and treatment of any underlying problems. Sometimes a physician can prevent future nosebleeds by cauterizing the blood vessel responsible.\nPrincipal Proposed Natural Treatments for Nosebleeds\nOne supplement that may help prevent nosebleeds is citrus bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids (or flavonoids) are plant substances that bring color to many fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits are a rich source of bioflavonoids, including disomin, hesperidin, rutin, and naringen.\nFor more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full citrus bioflavonoids article.\nOther Proposed Natural Treatments for Nosebleeds\nRelated chemicals called anthocyanosides are present in high concentrations in the herb bilberry . Like OPCs, anthocyanosides may strengthen capillaries through their effects on collagen. Proteolytic enzymes (such as bromelain ) are also thought to possibly help stabilize capillaries. However, no studies have directly addressed the potential value of either of these treatments for nosebleeds.\nVitamin C is vital for the development of normal collagen. People with scurvy (severe vitamin C deficiency) may bleed easily from the nose, as well as developing spontaneous bruises and other bleeding symptoms. However, there is no evidence as yet that vitamin C supplementation helps to decrease nosebleeds in the absence of true scurvy, a condition that is rare today.\nThe herb shepherd's purse ( Capsella bursae pastoris ) has been traditionally used as a topical application to control nosebleeds, although scientific evidence of its effectiveness is lacking. The herb should not be used during pregnancy because it is thought to stimulate uterine contractions.\n- Reviewer: EBSCO CAM Review Board\n- Review Date: 09/2014 -\n- Update Date: 09/18/2014 -", "char_count": 3354, "token_count": 838, "k_exact": 3.703, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8401, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The story unfolds in its original late-19th-century Russia high-society setting and powerfully explores the capacity for love that surges through the human heart, from the passion between adulterers to the bond between a mother and her children.

Wright's last two films, The Soloist and Hanna, were both a step away from what we have typically seen from the director\nby Eric Eisenberg February 24, 2012 comments\nExclusive: James McAvoy Still Unsure On Anna Karenina, Talks Welcome To The Punch\nWright has been very vocal about wanting McAvoy for the film, but it's been unclear if McAvoy's schedule would cooperate; based on what he told me it seems that's still very much up in the air.\nby Katey Rich April 13, 2011 comments\nBenedict Cumberbatch And Kelly Macdonald Join Joe Wright's Stunning Anna Karenina Cast\nCumberbatch actually makes this even more of an Atonement reunion, having played the actual rapist who goes off scot free when Ronan's character Briony accuses McAvoy instead. The British actor has been working steadily for years in all kinds of films you might recognize him in\nby Katey Rich April 7, 2011 comments\nJames McAvoy And Saoirse Ronan May Also Join Joe Wright's Anna Karenina\nThough Hanna, a modern-day action thriller with strong fairy tale elements, is a bit of a departure from the polished period world of Atonement, Anna Karenina gets Wright back to what he established early as his wheelhouse. It's a classic story that's building a phenomenal cast\nby Katey Rich April 2, 2011 comments\nJude Law Might Join Knightley, Johnson In Anna Karenina\nIt's still a little unclear which role he might potentially be attached to in the eight part novel. There's Anna husband, twenty years her senior, which might work considering Law is thirteen years older than Knightley\nby Mack Rawden March 19, 2011 comments\nKick-Ass Aaron Johnson Considering Tolstoy And New Oliver Stone Flick\nIf he chooses both of these projects, studios should start getting a pretty fair handle on Aaron Johnson’s bankability. All the acting talent in the world doesn’t make you a leading man\nby Mack Rawden March 17, 2011 comments\nJoe Wright Hints That Keira Knightley Will Still Star In His Anna Karenina\nThough Wright says he's \"not sure yet\" who the star will be, he also admits \"it's fairly obvious\" and \"I'm loyal to my actors,\" and is only holding back because \"she hasn't signed on the dotted line.\"\nby Katey Rich March 2, 2011 comments\nAround The Web", "char_count": 14561, "token_count": 3640, "k_exact": 3.0149, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9535, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Import tolerances (Maximum Residue Levels or MRLs) for Bayer CropScience’s Movento and Ultor insecticides have been established on certain commodities intended for export to Japan, effective immediately. The recent announcement by Japan’s Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare establishes MRLs for spirotetramat, the active ingredient in the Movento and Ultor brand insecticides. The regulatory approval and establishment of MRLs followed a comprehensive safety review by Japanese regulatory officials.\n“We are thrilled that Japan has established the MRLs for commodities treated with Movento and Ultor,” says Kevin Adam, product manager for Bayer CropScience. “Japan was the last major export market to give their go-ahead. This is tremendous news for growers of grapes, citrus and other label-approved crops who want to incorporate Movento and Ultor treatments into their integrated pest management programs on their crops bound for Japan.”\nMovento and Ultor had already earned regulatory approval from the U.S., EU, Codex, Canada and Mexico with the establishment of MRLs by regional and national authorities there. A comprehensive list of established Maximum Residue Levels (MRL) can be found here.\nOn October 15, 2010, Movento and Ultor received registration from the EPA for a second time, giving U.S. growers back a sorely missed tool for the management of their toughest pests.\nCrops listed on the product container labels for Movento and Ultor remain the same as under the prior registration, and include grapes, citrus, lettuce and apples, among others. For a complete list of approved crops, please refer to the most current product label.\nGrowers have come to depend on Movento and Ultor to protect their crops against a broad spectrum of damaging sucking insects such as aphids, mealybugs, scales and many others.\nThe efficacy demonstrated by Movento and Ultor is based on its two-way transport within the plant. After application, Movento and Ultor move upward and downward through the plant tissue, ensuring even and continuous distribution and better overall protection of young shoots, leaves and roots. Movento and Ultor target sucking pests specifically, and have minimal impact on beneficial insects which makes them a good choice for use in an Integrated Pest Management Program.", "char_count": 2299, "token_count": 574, "k_exact": 3.0805, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9577, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

If they wanted to collect triglobulin from the bodies, why leave them behind on the ship at all? Surely it would make more sense to take them with you, precisely to avoid having somebody stumble across them and interfere, as Archer does in this episode. Also, when Archer asks Hoshi if she transmitted his message on a rotated frequency, she says she will \"try it again\". But she only waits a grand total of four seconds before reporting no response. Archer's message was much longer than that, so Hoshi apparently gave up after the first couple of sentances.|\n|Great Moment :||Enterprise hitting it's first target.|\n|Body Count :||Fifteen on the Axanar ship, plus an unknown number on the \"space vampire\" ship.|\n|Factoid :||The Axanar species seen here have been mentioned before - in TOS, Captain Garth won a great victory at Axanar.|\nReed, meanwhile, is struggling to get the ship's spatial torpedo systems fully functional. Archer agrees to drop out of warp for a little target practice, but it does not go well - the torpedo bounces off the asteroid they are aiming at and careens back towards Enterprise, causing more frustration. Indeed the only person who seems to be having a good time in Phlox, who is fascinated by the behaviour of the crew.\nEventually, they chance upon an alien spacecraft sitting in space. There are biosigns aboard, but attempts to contact the ship fail. T'Pol suggests ignoring it, reasoning that the aliens must not want contact, but Archer insists on stopping to investigate. He leads a boarding party to the ship, including Hoshi even though she complains that the environmental suits make her feel claustrophobic. Once aboard, they make a horrific discovery - the crew are all dead, hung up on hooks and connected to some sort of device that seems to be draining fluid from them. T'Pol suggests abandoning the ship, reasoning that the crew are beyond any help. Archer reluctantly agrees and continues on course.\nHoshi feels guilty about her performance on the ship, pointing out to Phlox that she \"screamed like a twelve-year-old\" on seeing the alien bodies, something nobody else did. Phlox wonders if perhaps she would be better off going back to Earth, though Hoshi is reluctant to do something so drastic.\nArcher is also having second thoughts, wondering if leaving the alien bodies in the ship was the right thing to do. He feels like they turned tail and ran when the right thing to do was stay and get involved. Although T'Pol argues that doing so would be against the code of behaviour the Vulcans have, Archer points out that Humans also have a code of behaviour - one he broke. He orders Enterprise back to the alien ship.\nThey return tot he alien ship and check it over more carefully. Hoshi is able to work out a way to send a distress call in the alien language whilst Phlox investigates what is being done to the alien bodies. He finds that whoever conducted the massacre was apparently trying to collect a substance called triglobulin from them.\nAs they investigate, a powerful alien vessel arrives and attacks. It disables the Enterprise's engines, brushing aside their attempts to stop it. T'Pol scans it and finds that the power signature matches the devices draining the bodies on the ship they have been investigating. It seems the perpetrators of the massacre have returned. As the ship approaches, another vessel drops out of warp - this one matching the technology of the first ship they encountered. The newcomer communicates with Enterprise but seems to be angry - Hoshi thinks that the Captain is blaming them for the attack on his comrades, rather than the real culprit. Hoshi tries to talk to him but her translation program won't work, and the attempt only leads to more anger and confusion. Her confidence is shaken but Archer insists that she disregard the computer translations and try to talk directly to the alien Captain. She does, overcoming her doubt and convincing him to scan the alien ship and compare the power signature of the alien equipment to the attacking vessel - proof that it rather than Enterprise is the aggressor.\nBoth the alien ship and Enterprise attack the \"Space Vampire\" ship, and their combined attack destroys it. The ship remains in the area for while, making a friendly First Contact with the aliens - a species called the Axanar. Afterwards they continue on course, making a small detour to find a suitable planet to drop Sluggo off in a new home.\nThese are meant to be the brave and bold pioneer days of Humanity. Surely it would have been better to depict them as being overly brash and confident, as being the kind of people who go out determined to kick over all the anthills and stick their noses in where they shouldn't - only to learn over time that a bit of discretion now and again is the way to go.\nThe Space Vampires are also kind of silly. Their MO is absurd - they disable a ship and attack it, fair enough. They kill the crew, fair enough. But why leave them aboard their own ship and just go away? The Vampire ship is pretty big, surely it has more than enough space to hang the bodies up somwhere and do your thing to them. Then you can just continue on your way to look for your next victims, no need to tie yourself down to coming back to the scene of the crime, so to speak. It's a stupid way to do things, and it's only like that so that they can spin out the story they want with Enterprise being blamed in a showdown finale.\n|Copyright Graham Kennedy||Page views : 6,755||Last updated : 12 Apr 2013|", "char_count": 5819, "token_count": 1454, "k_exact": 2.2541, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8256, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Imagine a human spacecraft crew voyaging through space. A satellite sends a warning; energetic particles are being accelerated from the sun's corona, sending dangerous radiation toward their spacecraft, but the crew isn't worried. Long before their journey, researchers on Earth conducted experiments to accurately measure the hazards of space radiation and developed new materials and countermeasures to protect them.\nTo ensure the safety of spacecraft crews, NASA biologists and physicists will perform thousands of experiments at the new $34 million NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) commissioned today at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y. The laboratory, built in cooperation between NASA and DOE, is one of the few facilities that can simulate the harsh space radiation environment.\n\"Scientists will use this facility as a research tool to protect today's crews on the International Space Station and to enable the next generation of explorers to safely go beyond Earth's protected neighborhood,\" said Guy Fogleman, director of the Bioastronautics Research Division, Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR), at NASA Headquarters in Washington.\nSpace radiation produced by the sun and other galactic sources is more dangerous and hundreds of times more intense than radiation sources, such as medical X-rays or normal cosmic radiation, usually experienced on Earth. When the intensely ionizing particles found in space strike human tissue, it can result in cell damage and may eventually lead to cancer.\nApproximately 80 investigators will conduct research annually at the new facility. \"The NSRL will enable us to triple the ability of researchers to perform radiobiology experiments and the resulting science knowledge,\" said Frank Cucinotta, the program scientist for NASA's Space Radiation Health Project at Johnson Space Center, Houston. \"Scientists at universities and medical centers across the nation will use the facility to investigate how space radiation damages cells and tissues such as the eyes, brain and internal organs,\" he said.\nFor each experiment, an accelerator produces beams of protons or heavy ions. These ions are typical of those accelerated in cosmic sources and by the sun. The beams of ions move through a 328-foot transport tunnel to the 400-square-foot, shielded target hall. There, they hit the target, which may be a biological sample or shielding material.\n\"Physicists will measure how specific particles interact with shielding material, \" said James Adams, the program scientist for the Space Radiation Shielding Program at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. \"We can use this knowledge to improve our ability to predict the effectiveness of various materials and to develop and test new materials.\"\nAt NSRL, the radiation health team will perform extensive tests with biological samples placed in the path of the radiation. They will use the information to understand mechanisms of radiation damage to cells, predict risks, and develop countermeasures that mitigate radiation effects. \"Advances in radiation detection, shielding and other radiation-mitigation techniques may be applied to workers in space and on Earth and may lead to improved use of radiation to treat disease on Earth and prevent radiation-induced illnesses,\" Fogleman said.\nSince the 1970s, NASA has been using particle accelerators to understand and mitigate the risks of space radiation. The NSRL will take advantage of the high-energy particle accelerators at Brookhaven National Laboratory, a DOE facility established in 1947. Construction of the new facility began in 1998, and was funded in part by NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research.\nFor more information about NASA on the Internet, visit:\nFor information about Brookhaven National Laboratory, contact: Mona S.

-{"text": "When former Town manager Roy Keane released his new book this week, there was frantic media attention. Peregrine Cuttlefish, society columnist for the East Anglian Daily Times from 1871 – 1903, occasional Turnstile Blues contributor, and the only man to have spent three solid hours flicking rubber bands at Charles Dickens’s nose, instantly recognised the potential for a meeting of wizened minds, and was first in the queue for an interview. We are proud to present the full text of what can quite literally be described as a historic encounter. Transcribed by Gavin Barber.\nPeregrine Cuttlefish: Thank you, Mr Keane, for agreeing to an interview. When I read your book I realised that we should meet. We have each spent our lives at the very forefront of history: living and shaping the moments that define our respective eras.\nRoy Keane: You say that. I could agree with it or not agree with it. It doesn’t matter.\nPC: One notices straight away your antipathy towards Sir Alex Ferguson, a man whom you chastise for being distracted by horses. This instantly reminded me of Thomas Hardy, who was notorious for tearing up drafts of his latest novel if he saw a moth in the room. A little-known fact is that Far From The Madding Crowd was only completed because me and a troupe of jobbing performers from the Lambeth Music Hall were on a 24-hour patrol outside his study, swatting moths with our banjos lest any should disturb Hardy’s concentration. Did you ever meet him?\nRK: Thomas Hardy? Aye, a miserable fuck. Sure he could pull a sentence together but why be so bitter about everything? I look back on what I achieved as a footballer and see no acknowledgement of that in Hardy’s work. None at all. That to me seems disrespectful. I’ve no time for the man.\nPC: There’s a passage in the book in which you say that Sunderland chairman Ellis Short spoke to you “like you were something on the bottom of his shoe”. I remember Queen Victoria herself saying this after an unfortunate encounter with the King of Norway. What are your views on the dowager empress?\nRK: Queen Victoria? Ah, listen. She’s achieved a lot, there’s no doubt about that. But I don’t get the need to be flouncing around with the big black dresses and the moody face. OK, so the guy with the knob-ring died. Get over it, move on. The way I see it, you look back over some of the proper monarchs, your Henry Vs and what have you, and they never saw the need for that sort of showboating. They just got their heads down and got on with the business of oppressing people. I just don’t get why Victoria had to show off like that. Why the flouncing? Can’t be doing with it.\nPC: Thinking back over my own time as one of the leading lights of the literary circuit, I recall a cocktail party in Woodbridge in which Lady Login-Error of Shotley caused quite the stir by reading to the assembled company from her diaries. She shocked the guests by revealing that she had tapped a servant-girl across the ankles for insolence. Your new book reveals several such confrontations. Is this a regular feature of your life?\nRK: Listen, I’m no different from anyone else. People think I’m this kind of monster, always getting wound up and fighting people, but I’m just a normal guy. Yeah, I’ve had a few rucks. Jon Walters and Pablo at Ipswich, that’s in the book. Schmeichel at Man United too. And yeah, it happens occasionally. I was in the hotel this morning and there weren’t enough hash browns at the breakfast buffet. I don’t even like hash browns. It shouldn’t matter to me. But it’s about standards of professionalism. So, yeah, I smashed up the kitchen and pinned the chef against the wall. But it’s just part of life. Happens to anyone.\nPC: You’ve said in the book that when you were a player you had a ‘character’ that you got into, and that all sports professionals are, to an extent, playing a role. I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the company of your fellow countryman George Bernard Shaw. Like you, he was perceived by some as a troublemaker: in reality he was studious and diligent, but with a playful side. I remember one occasion when we were dining at White’s with Horry Walpole: Shaw carefully arranged all the peas on his plate into a perfect pyramid, then toppled it just as the Prince of Wales walked past our table. The bumbling royal lost his footing amidst the leguminous sea, and clattered face-first into the Duke of Fife’s sherry trifle. Shaw was roaring with laughter. Which of the classical thespians did you follow in developing your role as a footballer? I thought I could see Stanislavski’s influence in the fight with Alan Shearer in 2001 which got you a red card.\nRK: Sure, there’s an element of acting there. Stanislavski is nonsense though. Method acting? Don’t give me that. You’re either in character or you’re not. What business do you have calling yourself a professional if you’ve got to immerse yourself for hours? Get in there, do the job, get the fuck off the stage.\nPC: And finally Mr Keane: a contemporary of mine was Charles Darwin, who like you attracted disdain, opprobrium and horror in his own time, only to be regarded as a visionary in later years. What are your views on human evolution? Have we reached optimum physicality or can we adapt further? Do you think it will ever be physically possible to…\nRK: Stick it up your bollocks.\nRoy Keane’s new book, Stuff That Makes Me Cross When I Think About It, is out now. Peregrine Cuttlefish’s memoirs are due to be published just as soon as he remembers the details of that hilarious thing that Edward Elgar once did with a goldfish.

-{"text": "This lively rock musical of the final days of Jesus Christ is a supercharged rendition of a superstar. The idea of putting His life on the stage and screen in this manner was and continues to be offensive to some people. To others, however, it is exactly what needs to be done with the story of Jesus. We need to have people see and feel the electricity of this spiritual story.\nThe movie is shot on location in Israel and benefits substantially from the wonderful natural rock formations in the desert as well as the ancient Roman ruins that are used as backdrops for the film.\nThe opening scene shows us a group of actors arriving on location and getting into their costumes and the final scene is of these same persons getting back on the bus and leaving.\nThree key characters dominate the movie and sing most of the songs. They are Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Judas. Mary is portrayed loving and accepting---she has been powerfully changed by Jesus' message even though she doesn't fully understand why. Judas is doubting, cautious, scared, and accusatory---he wants to believe but feels Jesus should pay more attention to Judas' warnings. It is only at the end, after he has already betrayed Jesus, that he realizes how much he loves him. At this point he sings the song that Mary sang earlier in the film about loving Jesus but not understanding why.\nAlthough we know the ending and that this movie is about very important spiritual issues and ultimately about pain, suffering and death; it is told in an exciting, joyful manner through the vibrant music. Another wonderful touch is the scene where Jesus is taken before Herod. All of a sudden the music is no longer with a rock beat. Instead it is ragtime and the scene is played for laughs. It is a way of reminding us all that we must nourish our lightness, our sense of humor is essential if we are going to get through the darkest of moments.\nMusic is one of the most important ways that humans can get in touch with their spiritual dimension. This musical helps to do just that and more. By balancing Judas and Mary in the script, it is also helping you see the importance of overcoming your resistance to change and the need to let go and change even when you don't quite understand what is happening to you. Not all things are explainable. Sometimes you have to act on faith.\nClearly the story of Jesus Christ is worth singing about. We have written a thousand hymns in his honor to glorify God. The idea of putting the story into the rock idiom helps us more fully appreciate the idea of remembrance of Him through breaking of bread, His body, and drinking of wine, His blood. We need to build spirituality into our everyday lives. We need habits and rituals to assist us in not forgetting to value our spirit, to nurture that spirit, to love that dimension of what being human is all about.\nI also like the movie as it is a way of saying that each and every one of us can build God and spiritual dimensions into our profession lives just as these musicians and artists have done in their creation of this movie.

Pick up a copy today from Amazon.com!\nThe Exorcist (1973)\nI cannot stand listening to either William Friedkin or William Peter Blatty talk about The Exorcist. They have a tendency to speak at great length, not about what they intended, but what the film means to audiences everywhere. How it shakes the foundations of their faith, makes them question their reality, and turns their view of good and evil on its head. It sounds very nice, but even assuming that what Friedken and Blatty say is true, such statements limit the effectiveness of The Exorcist specifically to those people with a strong monotheistic religious bearing. Personally, however, I find it difficult to recommend the film to much of anybody.\nThe problem with The Exorcist is that it's a horror film made by someone in denial of the genre. It's never a good thing to outright deny the type of film you're making. The film will still be made, but it's either going to apologize for itself constantly or it's going to emphasize all the wrong things. The Exorcist does both.\nRegan MacNeil (Linda Blair), the twelve-year-old daughter of actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn), hasn't been feeling too well lately. In fact, she's taken to urinating at her mother's parties, flailing violently, and screaming obscenities. Chris seeks medical and psychological help at every level, but when Regan's bed begins bucking of its own accord and random items fly about the room, it's obvious that the problem isn't in Regan's body or mind, but in her soul. Some demon (or the devil himself) has taken hold, and it won't let go until she's dead and rotting her grave. Desperate, she contacts troubled, self-doubting priest-cum-psychiatrist Father Karras for an exorcism. Karras, in turn, calls the only man alive to have performed a successful exorcism, the wizened Father Merrin (Max von Sydow).\nBreaking down The Exorcist shot-by-shot would actually reveal a treasure trove of directorial moves. There's no disputing that the director Friedkin is talented -- one need only watch The French Connection to know that, and there are a few sequences in The Exorcist that also attest to his skill. Observe the scene where Detective Kinderman (Lee J. Cobb) questions Chris MacNeil regarding a murder that took place in Regan's room. Note how the camera closes in and pulls out on the two participants, and the see-saw of meanings that the movement takes for each (a push in is a trapping box for MacNeil, but a rapidly approaching clue for the detective, for instance).\nSuch intricate analysis is only useful when the film being scrutinized is worthy of it. Sadly, The Exorcist is not. For all the shots worthy of diagramming, they just don't hold up a story. Friedkin's oft-celebrated \"documentarian\" approach to the subject matter leaves gaping holes in character arcs or strands our interest in a muddle of mundane dialogue. Often the film will simply shift moods, pulling us from one scene of high emotion (Regan writhing and screaming) to another vastly understated one (Father Karras jogging and discussing movies with Detective Kinderman). These shifts disrupt the momentum, jarring whatever tenuous hold the film had built since the last mood shift. Further, most scenes that take place without Regan are so understated that it's difficult to believe that the characters are dealing with such a overwhelming supernatural problem.\nThe understatements only serve to highlight and magnify the vulgarities of the \"devil\" scenes. The possessed Regan spins her head 180°, smacks her mother in the face, and masturbates with a crucifix, all while screaming phrases like \"Let Jesus f**k you\" and \"Your mother sucks c**ks in hell.\" I may have a strange sense of humor, but I find that sort of thing very funny coming from a pre-teen, even one in grotesque Dick Smith makeup. She even spews green pea soup. We usually only get that kind of action in splatstick comedies. Sadly, Friedkin and screenwriter Blatty (who also wrote the original novel) cannot see the humor in what they create, nor do they seek to create melodrama by giving the devil some purpose for his gibberish. The few times we see an unpossessed Regan, she is such a blank personality that it is impossible to be too concerned for her well-being. The result of all of the above is that Regan MacNeil, possessed girl, becomes nothing more than a cacophony of pseudo-horrific blather, blaring so loudly above the otherwise low-key soundtrack that she becomes incomprehensible.\nWhat's worse than that is what Regan's possession represents to the horror genre as a whole. The being inside Regan is the Devil, Satan himself. Not only that, but Old Scratch appears to have no plan. He just wants to sit inside the little girl until she dies. Since he shows himself to be perfectly capable of escape should it become necessary, the fact that he lies in wait of an exorcism seems, well... stupid. Basically, Friedkin and Blatty have taken the Big Bad, the Ultimate Evil and they've made him into a ridiculous fool who corrupts the body of a pre-teen girl for poops and giggles. While that's all well and good for his ultimate defeat (so to speak), it doesn't do much for the genre itself. Good horror typically requires a credible threat. If you go and make a concentrated statement with millions of dollars of backing that not only is the Devil weak, but he's also stupid, you hamper the effectiveness of our villains. One could argue that Friedkin's undercutting of horror's most mythologically powerful antagonist directly contributed to the rise of the slasher genre later in the same decade.\nThere is, however, an argument to be made that Satan actually has a plan. The argument relies heavily on the fact that Friedkin spends the first 10 minutes of the film following Merrin as he discovers portents of evil in Northern Iraq. The sequence does not appear to have much to do with the film as a whole, although it is unsettling occasionally, if only because xenophobia is difficult habit to shake. It is possible that this prologue is in fact the only truly significant part of the film, as it speaks to the Devil's true intent -- the murder of Father Merrin during Regan's exorcism. The Devil's constant cries of Merrin's name during emotional duress further support this theory. However, accepting it leaves the film with two major problems. One, most of the character-driven scenes that take place outside of Regan's bedroom become useless and inert. Second, it raises the question of why we are being presented a film about the fulfillment of a long-held grudge without getting much detail on the grudge's origin.\nIt would be foolish of me not to acknowledge that my thoughts here fly in the face of most common critical wisdom. I am aware of The Exorcist's vaunted position in the history of horror. I am not denying that it holds power for thousands, even millions across the world. For that fact alone, it should be viewed with some amount of reverence, if only to acknowledge its overall effect on what was to come. I feel largely the same about Friday the 13th. That I cannot recommend the film personally does not mean that it is without merit. If this seems a contradiction of what I've said before, then very well, I contradict myself. The genre is large, it contains multitudes1.\nJane Fonda and Shirley MacLaine were approached to play the mother role that eventually went to Ellen Burstyn.", "char_count": 7734, "token_count": 1933, "k_exact": 2.3798, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8661, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "is the restaurant and lounge in the new Four Seasons Hotel. The building also houses private, luxury condominiums. The restaurant name comes from the hotel and restaurant’s proximity to the Seattle Art Museum. Many of the dishes are served in ways evocative of painting or other creative endeavors. Kerry Sears, the former chef/owner of Cascadia is now at Art after closing his own place. We miss Cascadia but are happy that he continues to bring his creative combinations to to the table.\nThursday before starting our stroll through galleries and studios open for Seattle’s First Thursday Art Walk\n, M and I stopped by for sustenance to fuel our walk. The lounge (and I believe the dining room, too) are on the West side of the building where there are views of Puget Sound broken by some industrial buildings along Western Avenue. I liked the yin/yang of this arrangement, sitting in a plush lounge while looking at a nitty-gritty view, as I think it’s a part of what makes Seattle, Seattle.\nWe arrived for the start of happy hour in the lounge, which offers several small plates and drinks for $5. Always a sucker for an interesting sounding cocktail, I ordered a Bellini Martini which combines elements from both drinks into one peachy libation. Made from vodka, pureed peaches and Prosecco it was refreshing and tasted of summer. M had a lemon drop (not on the happy hour menu) and said it was wonderful, too.\nFor our first course we sampled the Blue Shrimp which is served with Horseradish and Bloody Mary Dressing. The combination was outstanding. The shrimp was so fresh it tasted as if it had been just brought in especially for our order. Horseradish is finely grated over the shrimp (be careful if you are not a horseradish fan) and the dressing is served in a tiny little glass, complete with a sprig of celery. I actually took a little swig of it and it would have made a perfect aperitif, too.\nIt was hard deciding what else to choose but we opted to try the tuna roll and sliders, something Kerry was famous for at Cascadia.\nOf course everything here comes with it’s own little twist. The tuna roll was elevated with jalapeños, crisp garlic, daikon shoots and wasabi cream. The presentation was beautiful as was the tuna and the overall taste combination. We ended with a plate of sliders, which are available in either beef or in a vegetarian style. The condiments for the sliders were served as if they were paint on a pallet, which was both beautiful and fun. The only slightly disappointing note of the evening was that we’d ordered a side of mushrooms with our sliders and they were overlooked. Not a big deal at all, but I call it out only because I think the servers here had a few too many tables to handle which showed in a couple of other small ways, too. It’s understandable that with the low prices for this quality food that Art is watching costs.\nOverall, I thoroughly enjoyed Art. The ambience of the lounge is plush without being fussy. I think it will be a nice, cozy place to hang out when the darker days of winter set in, too. Happy hour is an outstanding deal. I’ll need to get back to sample an actual dinner here some time soon.\nLocated in the Four Seasons Hotel\n99 Union Street", "char_count": 3216, "token_count": 804, "k_exact": 2.3444, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8221, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

But coming back from 3-1 down against the Indians in the American League Championship Series was still an impressive accomplishment that will go down in the annals of franchise lore.\nHow have the Red Sox -- a team once identified by late-season disappointment -- transformed into the team that always seems to come back in October?\n\"I just think when you're in this kind of pressure cooker, you can either fold and kind of implode, or you can relax and be yourself,\" said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. \"That's what our guys do: they relax and stay themselves.

We've got to play one pitch at a time, literally. We have to create our own opportunities. We've got to outplay our opponents.\"\nThe Red Sox turned Varitek into a prophet.

So did core players like Lowell, Kevin Youkilis and rookie Dustin Pedroia.\nAnd in dire situations, sometimes even Manny being Manny can help. Ramirez is no media darling, but he decided to turn into one once the Red Sox got into that 3-1 deficit. While some of the national media jumped on him for his carefree words, his teammates appreciated the levity.\n\"I think Manny put it really well,\" said Sox right fielder J.D. Drew. \"There was always next year in his mind. That just kind of shows you how relaxed we were, the worst case [being] we were going home and the best case, 'Hey, we're moving on to the World Series.'\"\nSure, the Red Sox lost three in a row to the Indians to fall in the 3-1 hole, but they never lost their resolve.\n\"Nobody got down on each other,\" said Pedroia. \"We kept battling. We knew if we won [Game 5] in Cleveland, we'd have a chance. Josh went out and we all jumped on his back, pretty much. He carried us through that game. Once we got back here, Schill did great and everything came together, and here we are -- we're still playing.\"\nIs it character or talent that helps a team perform so well when the margin for error is zero?\n\"I think you have to have both,\" said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. \"If you have one without the other, you're not going to make it. We managed to play ourselves into a deficit, but we managed to play ourselves out if it. I just think the mentality is always the same, every day. You play nine innings or whatever it takes.\"\nTo a man, the Red Sox seemed to agree that the biggest key to the comeback was to look at each at-bat, inning and game as an almost individual entity.\n\"We were not going to give up until the last out,\" said Lowell. \"I think we did a great job of taking Game 5 as the most important game and not looking ahead. And then Game 6 and then Game 7. We weren't worried about [Fausto] Carmona when we had to face [C.C.] Sabathia. I think we were very focused in that sense. But it starts with the pitching. Josh did it, Schill did it and Daisuke [Matsuzaka] did it, for the most part.\"\nIn truth, it takes nearly everyone playing a role to win three successive must-win games.\n\"It's exactly like '04, just a different team,\" said Wakefield. \"Your back is against the wall and you had to win. You had to win the first night to get to the second night, and that's the philosophy we all took.\"\nOnce again, that philosophy was executed to perfection, and the reward was a trip to the World Series.\nIan Browne is a reporter for MLB.com.

Could someone suggest what design pattern is suitable to perform the sorting?\nKyle, Unfortunately, this is what I am doing. Since I don't know the list size until runtime, I use nested vectors. The outer one contains a list of individual (last name, first name, date of birth,...), and the nested one contains a list of addresses(current address, previous address, ...). You indicated my code is smell. Could you give me some suggestions or point me to the document where I can clean it up.\nFor the sorting, I had a class that implements comparator and used Collections.sort(List, Comparator) method to perform the sort. My pseudo code for the compare() method 1. Compare last name, first name, date of birth,... for the outer vector. 2. If decision cannot be made (they are all equals) then a. Sort the inner lists (the address vectors) b. Loop through the list and compare street num, street name, city, ...\nWhat I am asking is the design pattern. Do you know any design pattern I can apply?

Each individual, in turn, can contain zero or more addresses. I would like to sort the master list. Master List 1------>* Individual 1------>* addresses\nIndividual contains last name, first name, middle name, gender, date of birth and a list of addresses. Address contains street number, street name, apartment, city, state ,zip\nAt runtime, a user can specify the fields to be sorted and the sort order.\nSay a user wants to sort the master list in this order: last name, first name, city, and state.\nIf last name and first name of two individual objects are different, compareTo() method will return either negative or positive number. If they happen to be the same, then city and state in the address objects are compared.\nIf I understand correctly, you really only need to sort the outer list of individuals; the fact that each individual may have multiple addresses might not really matter.\nIn this case, I would have the class used for the individuals implement methods like get_primary_city(), get_primary_state(). Then when you write your comparator, it first compares the names of the individuals, and if those are the same, it compares primary city or state, &c.\nAlternatively, your comparator can first compare the names of the individuals, then compare the address arrays of the individuals using whatever method you choose (e.g., whoever has more addresses goes first or whatever, if tied, use information from the first address, then the second, or whatever).\nJoined: Apr 20, 2001\nThe columns to be sorted are known at runtime. They can be just columns in individual object, columns in both individual object and address objects, or just columns in address object. If they are just city and state, the sort will be performed just on the nested object (address object).

-{"text": "BAGHDAD: Iraq’s move to inspect Iranian aircraft flying to Syria may appease the United States but also shows how the crisis in Damascus has pushed Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki into an ever more delicate balancing act between his two main allies. When Maliki’s faced a parliamentary revolt this year, he could count on Tehran to pull strings of influence over restive fellow Shiite politicians in Iraq’s majority community that saw the Iraqis quickly fall in line again behind the Shiite premier.\nBut after the United States complained publicly that Iran was using Iraqi airspace to fly arms and men to help President Bashar Assad fight Western-backed rebels, Iraq’s government has told Washington it will inspect Iranian flights at random.\nNine years after U.S. forces ousted Iraq’s Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein, and nine months after they finally pulled out of the country, Maliki is heavily reliant on Tehran, Washington’s enemy. He leans on Iran for political support at home and for backing in a Sunni-dominated region where he has few friends.\nBut he still needs the Americans, too – for military aid, in part, but also as Iraq seeks global investment and trading access for an oil industry it is struggling to rebuild.\nAnd all the while, with the Syrian civil war inflaming historic confrontations in the Middle East between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, and between Arabs and Persians, Maliki is trying to carve out space for Iraq’s – and his own – interests.\n“We are trying to take an independent position, based on our national interests,” Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari told Reuters recently in explaining Iraq’s Syria policy. “We are trying to differentiate ourselves. Things are not black and white.”\nIraq says it has a policy of non-interference in Syria – but stays close to Tehran’s position by refusing to endorse Western and Arab League demands for the removal of Assad, whose Alawite minority faith is an offshoot of Shiite Islam.\nFor Maliki – who once found refuge in Syria and Iran as a Shiite Islamist activist fleeing Saddam – a defeat for Assad that put Damascus under the control of Sunni Islamists could add to the threat he already faces from a Sunni insurgency blamed for the kind of attacks that killed over 30 Iraqis Sunday.\n“We reject attempts to bring down the regime by force, because it will leave a wider crisis in the region,” Maliki has said.\nThat concern, rather than any pressure from Tehran, appears to drive the Iraqi premier, diplomats and Iraqi officials say.\n“Maliki is fundamentally looking after Maliki’s interests,” one diplomat involved in the region said. “Relations with Iran may be part of that. But I don’t think Iran’s interest will trump Maliki’s domestic interests.”\nMaliki is keenly aware of the benefits of keeping Iran on board. Tehran helped secure his premiership into a second term in 2010 by persuading fractious Shiite parties to join forces and outmaneuver Sunnis, Kurds and independent groups.\nAt the same time, Washington’s sway over a leader whom it once saw as more mindful of U.S. interests than other Shiite candidates had faded, even before the troop withdrawal. Maliki, aware of nationalist sensitivity, said Iraq could not support a small U.S. force staying on by extending troops’ legal immunity.\nHowever, Washington still has weight it can pull with Maliki, as the appeasing move on Iranian flights to Syria demonstrated.\n“Maliki will never risk his relationship with the U.S.,” said Iraqi Shiite lawmaker Amir al-Kinani. “But he will send a message saying they must support him to stay in power ... This has nothing to do with religion, for Maliki or for Iran – it’s about interests.”\nWashington has allowed $2 billion in weapons sales to Iraq in 2012 alone, including a recently completed purchase of U.S.-made tanks. Baghdad will soon take delivery of more than 30 F-16 fighters that will be the backbone of its new air force.\nU.S. military officers engaged in training programs also still operate out of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.\nWith President Barack Obama campaigning for re-election, some in the United States have suggested pressing Iraq harder to distance itself from Iran. But U.S. diplomats are wary of exerting pressure that might have the opposite effect on Maliki. The State Department rejected a call for aid to Baghdad to be threatened if Iraq did not block Iranian flights to Syria.\n“Maliki has a variety of reasons for wanting Assad to stay in power. The fact Iran shares this preference will tend to promote stronger relations,” said Stephen Biddle, professor at George Washington University.\n“That does not mean Maliki will ignore U.S. preferences ... He wants help wherever he can get it, and the United States can provide arms of the kind and quality Iranians cannot.”\nSyria’s crisis, and how the increasingly sectarian turmoil develops there, remains a major question mark over how Maliki will manage future relations with Washington and Tehran.\nAlready Maliki’s relationship with Assad is complex.\nAt the height of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq, Iraqi Shiite leaders slammed Damascus for letting foreign militants, including Al-Qaeda fighters, slip over their desert border. Members of Saddam’s Baath party, long estranged from the Syrian wing of the movement led by Assad, also found refuge in Syria.\nHowever, Maliki has since developed a more pragmatic relationship with Damascus, not least as the prospect grows of Syria falling to a hard-line Sunni revolt that could the reignite Iraq.\nHow Maliki manages Syria now depends on whether – or how – Assad’s regime falls. More Western and Arab intervention in Syria that might ease Assad out in favor of a broad-based Syrian government could be a relief for Baghdad.\nBut a messy collapse, and the rise of a hostile Sunni regime next door, may drive a threatened Maliki closer to Iran; Tehran in turn may increase its focus on Baghdad if it loses Damascus.\n“I suspect the Iranians are going to be very dismayed by the collapse of Syria and the loss of their ally and will redouble their efforts in Iraq,” said Kenneth Pollack at the Brookings Institute’s Saban Center for Middle East Policy in Washington.\n“Both those things are probably going to make it harder for Maliki to chart an independent course.”", "char_count": 6255, "token_count": 1563, "k_exact": 3.0109, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9528, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Oxbow upsets Orb in Preakness\n“He don’t want any?” a man asked, considering jockeys usually shower their horses, too.\nStevens shook his head from his perch atop Oxbow, the wire-to-wire winner of the 138th Preakness.\n“Ain’t even tired,” he said.\nStevens, a 50-year-old grandfather who came out of a seven-year retirement at the beginning of the year, used a daring ride to clinch an anti-climatic second leg of the Triple Crown at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday.\nHis win gave trainer D. Wayne Lukas, 77, a 14th win in Triple Crown races, setting a new record. His first one also came at Preakness, in 1980 with Codex.\nAsked if he appreciated this one more, Lukas said quickly, “Yes, yes, definitely. At 77, I do. Yes. The first one, I thought I was going to win quite a few more.”\nOxbow ran the mile-and-three-sixteenths in 1:57.54 and never faced a serious challenge. He won by 13/4 lengths. Going off with 15-1 odds, he paid $32.80 on a $2 dollar bet to win, $12 to place and $6.80 to show.\nItsmyluckyday was second ($7.80 and $5.00), and Mylute finished third ($5.20).\nHeavy favorite Orb, the Kentucky Derby winner, ended up being unable to overcome having to start along the rail. He began his move along the backstretch and briefly moved into third place, but jockey Joel Rosario could not swing out into open space.\n“I just think he got himself in a position where he wasn’t real comfortable,” Orb’s trainer Shug McGaughey said. “And without the pace scenario in front of him, where they weren’t spread out a little more, that probably affected him more than anything.”\nOrb was vying to become the 13th horse since 1978 to go to Belmont with a chance to become the 12th Triple Crown winner. Affirmed last achieved the feat in 1978.\n“I get paid to spoil dreams,” said Lukas, whose last Preakness winner, Charismatic, had won the Derby but finished third in the Belmont.\nLukas had been tied for most wins in Triple Crown races with “Sunny” Jim Fitzsimmons, but he hadn’t won one since 2000. He never lost faith — or stopped entering his horses. His Will Take Charge finished seventh Saturday, while Titletown Five was ninth after moving ahead of Orb going into the second turn, which seemed to make the colt uncomfortable.\n“The thing about it is, you get up every day and look for that one that you maybe can do something with,” Lukas said. “As long as we’ve got something to work with, we’re going to be around.”\nOxbow also returned Calumet Farm, the dominant racing outfit of the middle of last century, to the Triple Crown. The farm had produced eight Kentucky Derby winners from 1941 to 1968, including Triple Crown winners Whirlaway (1941) and Citation (1948), as well as seven previous Preakness winners. It campaigned Alydar, Affirmed’s chief rival, but has declined since then and was nearly lost to development in the early 1990s.\nIt is now run by Brad Kelley, a billionaire who made his fortune in tobacco and is one of the top five landowners in the country, according to Forbes. He leases the 800-acre property from the Calumet Investment Group, which bought the farm for about $40 million last year. The members of the ownership group have not been named.\nKelly did not attend the race, and he was represented by his daughter, Erin, who declined to speak with reporters beside a brief television interview after the race.\n“What a story this is,” Lukas said. “I’m happy for Gary and I’m just happy for Mr. Kelley. He’s trying to revitalize Calumet, and now Calument is back in a Classic race. That’s just very gratifying.”\nStevens won his third Preakness; he’s also won the other two legs of the Triple Crown three times each.\nThough Lukas said he’d given Stevens no specific instructions except to react to the race in front of him, Oxbow’s two other wins had come after going to the lead early. In the Kentucky Derby, Stevens said Oxbow got closed off down the stretch but was “breathing fire” after crossing the finish line in sixth. That gave him confidence that Oxbow, a smallish bay colt bought as a yearling for $250,000, could handle the Preakness.\nAs Stevens came around the turn, he thought his horse would tense due to late-closing challengers — the horse usually knows before the rider — but instead he went easily over the finish line.\n“I came into the stretch so loaded,” Stevens said. “I couldn’t believe that no one challenged me going into the far turn, but when no one did I said, ‘I think everybody’s in trouble right now.”\nAching knees forced Stevens into retirement in 2005, and he worked as a racing analyst, jockey agent, trainer and actor. Spurred on by the success of 47-year-old friend Mike Smith, he began training late last year and dropped 25 pounds to come back.\nHe teamed with Lukas — who saddled him for his first Triple Crown win, the 1988 Kentucky Derby — again as both faced questions about their fading careers. Lukas won the Belmont in 2000; Stevens won both the Preakness and Belmont in 2001.\nStevens found early success in California this year, but he won just three races in the highly competitive Keenland meet leading into the Kentucky Derby. At Churchill Downs, he was shut out.\n“I thought maybe my business was lacking, maybe this was a mistake,” he said. “I’ve been questioning myself.”\nBut Lukas felt good about Oxbow’s chances and relayed that message to Stevens, who did not arrive in Baltimore until late in the week. Lukas told reporters, too, that he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t think he could win.\nEach morning, Lukas hopped on his pony and accompanied his horses to the track. That has been his life since the 1970s, when he left a career as a teacher and basketball coach to get into the horse racing business.\nDivorced five times, he joked after the Preakness that it is impossible to hold a training licenses and marriage license at the same time.\n“Dedicate yourself completely to the game, and if you work, it will probably come,” he said.\nLukas said he planned to take his horses back to Louisville on a van leaving Baltimore at 4:30 a.m. today, with only a few stops at Wendy’s planned along the way. Always tanned and appearing in crisply creased shirts and expensive boots, Lukas has said he has no plans of doing anything with his life but sticking to the routine he has kept for four decades.\nAs he walked away from Stevens — whose comeback is now unlikely to sag as it did in Kentucky — Lukas raised a hand and said he’d be in touch.\n“I love you,” he said.\nStevens said the same thing back.\nOur new comment system is not supported in IE 7.

-{"text": "| || |\nIn Case You Aren't Hibernating...\nJanuary 4, 2013 - Jim Price\nIt’s generally acknowledged in the live music and bar venue business that the busiest night of the year is usually Thanksgiving Eve, the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. That is when more people tend to be out and about frequenting venues, and more venues stage live music performances.\nI have no facts or figures to back this up, but based on my own observations over a quarter-century of covering the area live music scene, it seems that among the slowest nights of the year tend to be the first weekend in January immediately following the New Year’s holiday. People are generally burned out after the holidays, and venues are catching their collective breaths after the holiday season, which is often a busier time of the year for business. Thus there's usually not much going on.\nAnd so it goes that this weekend’s live music happenings are a little thin, with only a few performances taking place around the area. But it is activity nonetheless, so if you haven’t done so already, put that New Year’s resolution to support live music into action and get out to catch a show!\nAmong this weekend's options...For connoisseurs of the heavier-rocking arts, Aldo’s hosts a pounding metal/punk/hardcore triple-bill on Saturday night, featuring the tenacious and volatile NailDriver, the driving punk of Up Your Arsenal and the brutal-edged sounds of Williamsburg quintet Assault Method.\nIf pounding the dance floor is your thing, those veteran northeastern PA party stalwarts the Giants Of Science return to the 4D’s Lounge this Saturday night. Frequent flyers on the 4D’s stage, the Giants reliably generate the party with their upbeat mixture of pop and rock song favorites, with an emphasis on ‘80s-era pop/rock. Through various incarnations, the Giants Of Science have consistently been doing their thing since 1995. And you just never know when the urge will again strike this group, and they decide to break out their legendary facepaints and white labcoats!\nAltoona party trio 7th Gear also will provide ample reasons to dance at the Belmar Hotel this Saturday night. The seasoned trio of singer/guitarist Brendon Burns, bassist Kelly Montgomery and drummer Randy Servello keeps the beat and mood up with their wide-ranging mixture of current and classic rock and party song favorites.\nIf you wish to chase your daytime skiing or snowtubing fun at Blue Knob Ski Resort with some post-skiing live music, the Blue Knob Clubhouse has you covered throughout ski season. This weekend, The Backyard Rockers provide acoustic fun Friday evening, while R2B2 brings the full band party excitement on Saturday night.\nIf colder temperatures and the slight prospects of mountaintop snow showers won’t dissuade you from exploring live music activity in the nearby higher elevations this Saturday night, Cambria County rocking party favorites Locked and Loaded bring raucous good times to Clair’s Ashville Inn in Ashville, Williamsburg hard-hitters Saving Jake provide the dance floor fun at Magoo’s in Cresson, and Altoona guitar legend John McKelvey and A.X.E. light up the stage of Ebensburg’s Castle Pub. John’s bow-on-strings display on Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” has to be seen to be believed!\nAnd for fans of acoustic sounds, Born & the Beanstalk is in action this Friday night at Bellwood’s Celtic Knot (formerly RJ’s Tavern). And Disorganized Crime – featuring singer/guitarist Rick Ramsey and hand percussionist Ed Hofer – entertain in Ebensburg this weekend at Jay’s Place on Saturday night and the Castle Pub on Sunday night.\nSo while a limited slate this weekend, live music is still there for the enjoyment…Support it, and if you plan on partying hardy, designate a driver!\nHere is a full listing for live music on area stages this weekend and the coming week:\nAnEmergencyScene presents Post Season, The Tried and True, Crash City, Forbearance, SPRRWS and Brittany Morganrose at Archway Center, Altoona (all ages, starts 5 p.m.)\nStephen Johnopolos at Raphael’s Steakhouse, Altoona (starts 6:30 p.m.)\nBorn & the Beanstalk at the Celtic Knot, Bellwood (starts 7 p.m.)\nFelix & the Hurricanes at the Heidelberg Club, Altoona - CANCELLED\nThe Backyard Rockers at Blue Knob Clubhouse, Blue Knob Ski Resort (starts 8:30 p.m.)\nDoug Whitfield at Raphael’s Steakhouse, Altoona (starts 6:30 p.m.)\nNailDriver, Up Your Arsenal and Assault Method at Aldo’s, Altoona\n7th Gear at Belmar Hotel, Altoona\nGiants Of Science at 4D’s Lounge, Altoona\nR2B2 at Blue Knob Clubhouse, Blue Knob Ski Resort\nLocked and Loaded at Clair’s Ashville Inn, Ashville\nSaving Jake at Magoo’s, Cresson\nA.X.E. at Castle Pub, Ebensburg\nDisorganized Crime at Jay’s Place, Ebensburg\nFelix & the Hurricanes at Shaw’s Bar, Altoona\nDisorganized Crime at Castle Pub, Ebensburg\nTy Ayers (acoustic) at 4D’s Lounge, Altoona\n7th Gear at 4D’s Lounge (upstairs), Altoona\nOpen Mic/Jam Night at Pellegrine’s, Altoona (starts 9 p.m.)\nOpen Mic/Jam Night at Mug Shots, Gallitzin (starts 8 p.m.)\nSteve Summerhill at Jethro’s, Altoona (starts 7 p.m.)\nBorn & the Beanstalk at Belmar Hotel, Altoona\n(More shows may be added to this list as information becomes available.

The attack on Asif was followed a month later by the violent murder of blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider.\n“That a government will arrest people for exercising free speech and expression when those people are themselves under threat from religiously-inspired criminals is a tremendous injustice and an outrage to humanity,” said AAI President Carlos A. Diaz. \"This is contrary to basic human rights and Bangladesh's own constitution.\" The arrests of the bloggers, three of whom were paraded in handcuffs at a press conference on 2 April, came after pressure from Islamists, who have organised a march to the capital on the weekend of 6/7 April to demand the death penalty for atheist bloggers. “That the government has caved-in to a violent sectarian movement, by arrests and shutting of websites, does not bode well for the country’s future,” Diaz said. “The state should act to ensure a vibrant civil society by protecting free expression, especially the expression of minority viewpoints.”\nAAI calls on the international community, concerned individuals and organisations to take a firm stand in supporting freedom of expression and freedom of conscience. Religious tolerance and pluralism are strongest when freedom of expression, including freedom to challenge religious viewpoints, is protected for all peoples.\nPlease contact the Bangladesh Embassy in your country to express your outrage at this situation and call for the bloggers to be freed and their personal safety protected. You can contact the Bangladesh embassy in the US here. AAI's letter to the US embassy is below:\nDear Ambassador Qader\nI am writing to express my serious concern at the arrest of four atheist bloggers in Bangladesh - Subrata Adhikari Shuvo, Mashiur Rahman Biplob, Rasel Parvez and Asif Mohiuddin. As I expect you are aware, these arrests follow the murder of blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider in February.\nBangladesh has a responsibility to protect the freedom and safety of its citizens. These men have been arrested for nothing more than expressing their lack of religious belief. Whether you agree with their views or not, they are citizens of your country and human beings. The deserve the basic human rights of self expression and personal safety, no matter who agrees or disagrees with them. I urge you to act to free these men immediately and work to ensure that Bangladesh is a country where people can be free to be religious or not as they choose, without fear for their personal safety.\nAAI has released a media statement on this issue, which you may read at its website, atheistalliance.org.\nCarlos A.

-{"text": "TOPEKA, Kan. (2/26/08)--Kansas credit union supporters answered the last questions of a Senate subcommittee Friday in response to SB 535, a bill introduced by the Kansas Banking Association (KBA) that would change how credit unions are regulated and whom they can serve. The subcommittee will begin work on the bill Wednesday. The bill or a modified bill would then proceed to the full Senate Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee for consideration, said the Kansas Credit Union Association (KCUA). In a press release, KCUA said it could only speculate about the specific impacts the banker-backed bill will have on the state's credit union industry but added the bill is clearly directed at reducing consumer access to Kansas credit unions. \"At this time, the process is in full swing, and we have placed our faith in the legislative process in Kansas,\" said Jerel Wright, assistant vice president of governmental and public affairs at KCUA. \"We are asking that legislators make the right decision for credit unions and consumers in Kansas.\" If the bill were passed without revisions, it would fundamentally change the way Kansas credit unions have operated and been regulated over the past 80 years. It also would dramatically increase the regulatory burden placed on state-chartered credit unions by requiring extensive public notification and appeals processes for branching, merging and field of membership changes, said KCUA. \"In effect, this bill would effectively eliminate the benefits of being a Kansas-chartered credit union because the bill adopts federal law regarding field of membership and state banking law for branching and mergers,\" said KCUA. \"This is truly a consumer issue, and consumers should have the right to choose where they conduct their financial business,\" said Marla Marsh, president/CEO of KCUA. \"When consumers are facing an economic and credit crisis, would we want to restrict or constrict access to a consumer-friendly alternative?\" Marsh asked.", "char_count": 1991, "token_count": 497, "k_exact": 2.9505, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9718, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Individual differences |\nMethods | Statistics | Clinical | Educational | Industrial | Professional items | World psychology |\nAIDS dementia complex (ADC; also known as HIV dementia, HIV encephalopathy and HIV-associated dementia) has become a common neurological disorder associated with HIV infection and AIDS. It is is a metabolic encephalopathy induced by HIV infection and fueled by immune activation of brain macrophages and microglia. These cells are actively infected with HIV and secrete neurotoxins of both host and viral origin. The essential features of ADC are disabling cognitive impairment accompanied by motor dysfunction, speech problems and behavioural change. Cognitive impairment is characterised by mental slowness, trouble with memory and poor concentration. Motor symptoms include a loss of fine motor control leading to clumsiness, poor balance and tremors. Behavioural changes may include apathy, lethargy and diminished emotional responses and spontaneity. Histopathologically, it is identified by the infiltration of monocytes and macrophages into the central nervous system (CNS), gliosis, pallor of myelin sheaths, abnormalities of dendritic processes and neuronal apoptosis.\nADC typically occurs after years of HIV infection and is associated with low CD4+ T cell levels and high plasma viral loads. It is sometimes seen as the first sign of the onset of AIDS. Prevalence is between 10-20% in Western countries and has only been seen in 1-2% of India based infections. With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the frequency of ADC has declined in developed countries. HAART may not only prevent or delay the onset of ADC in people with HIV infection, it can also improve mental function in people who already have ADC.\nDementia only exists when neurocognitive impairment in the patient is severe enough to interfere markedly with day-to-day function. That is, the patient is typically unable to work and may not be able to take care of him or herself. Before this, the patient is said to have a mild neurocognitive disorder.\n- Marked acquired impairment of at least two ability domains of cognitive function (e.g. memory, attention): typically, the impairment is in multiple domains, especially in learning, information processing and concentration/attention. The cognitive impairment is ascertained by medical history, mental status examination or neuropsychological testing.\n- Cognitive impairments identified in 1. interfere markedly with day-to-day functioning.\n- Cognitive impairments identified in 1. are present for at least one month.\n- Cognitive impairments identified in 1. do not meet the criteria for delirium, or if delirium is present, dementia was diagnosed when delirium was not present.\n- No evidence of another, pre-existing aetiology that could explain the dementia (e.g. another CNS infection, CNS neoplasm, cerebrovascular disease, pre-existing neurological disease, severe substance abuse compatible with CNS disorder.\nWhile the progression of dysfunction is variable, it is regarded as a serious complication and, untreated, can progress to a fatal outcome. Diagnosis is made by neurologists who carefully rule out alternative diagnoses. This routinely requires a careful neurological examination, brain scans (MRI or CT scan) and a lumbar puncture to evaluate the cerebrospinal fluid. No single test is available to confirm the diagnosis, but the constellation of history, laboratory findings, and examination can reliably establish the diagnosis when performed by experienced clinicians. The amount of virus in the brain does not correlate well with the degree of dementia, suggesting that secondary mechanisms are also important in the manifestation of ADC.\nAIDS Dementia Complex (ADC) is not a true opportunistic infection. It is one of the few conditions caused directly by HIV itself. But it is not quite as simple as that because the central nervous system can be damaged by a number of other causes:\n- opportunistic infections - there are many\n- Primary cerebral lymphoma or metastasis of other AIDS-related cancers\n- direct effects of HIV in the brain\n- toxic effects of drug treatments\nMany researchers believe that HIV damages the vital brain cells, neurons, indirectly. According to one theory, HIV either infects or activates cells that nurture and maintain the brain, known as macrophages and microglia. These cells then produce toxins that can set off a series of reactions that instruct neurons to kill themselves. The infected macrophages and microglia also appear to produce additional factors chemokines and cytokines - that can affect neurons as well as other brain cells known as astrocytes. The affected astrocytes, which normally nurture and protect neurons, also may now end up harming neurons. Researchers hope that new drugs under investigation will interfere with the detrimental cycle and prevent neuron death.\nADC stage characteristicsEdit\n- Stage 0 (Normal) Normal Mental and Motor Function\n- Stage 0.5 (Subclinical) Minimal symptoms of cognitive or motor dysfunction characteristic of ADC, or mild signs (snout response, slowed extremity movements), but without impairment of work or capacity to perform activities of daily living (ADL). Gait and strength are normal.\n- Stage 1 (Mild) Evidence of functional intellectual or motor impairment characteristic of ADC, but able to perform all but the more demanding aspects of work or ADL. Can walk without assistance.\n- Stage 2 (Moderate) Cannot work or maintain the more demanding aspects of daily life, but able to perform basic activities of self care. Ambulatory, but may require a single prop.\n- Stage 3 (Severe) Major intellectual incapacity - cannot follow news or personal events, cannot sustain complex conversation, considerable slowing of all output. And/or motor disability - cannot walk unassisted, requiring walker or personal support, usually with slowing and clumsiness of arms as well.\n- Stage 4 (End Stage) Nearly vegetative. Intellectual and social comprehension and responses are at a rudimentary level. Nearly or absolutely mute. Paraparetic or paraplegic with double incontinence.\nReferences and notesEdit\n- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Gray, F., Adle-Biassette, H., Chrétien, F., Lorin de la Grandmaison, G., Force, G., Keohane, C. (2001).

The special one-night-only performance presents Alban Berg's operatic masterpiece of musical Expressionism, Wozzeck. The composer adapted the libretto from an incomplete 19th-century play's unordered scenes, and created important roles for the orchestra as well as the singers: onstage there is a marching band for a military parade and a boozy dance band – including guitar, accordion and a deliberately out-of-tune upright piano – for the tavern scene. The international cast includes German soprano Angela Denoke as Marie, the role she sang in her Salzburg Festival debut.\nThis is the first time Wozzeck has been performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall.\nEsa-Pekka Salonen commenced his fifth season as Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Philharmonia Orchestra in the 2012/13 season. He has held the title of Conductor Laureate of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 2009, after 17 seasons at its helm as Music Director. Salonen's artistic collaboration with the Philharmonia Orchestra has been dominated by landmark multi-disciplinary festivals, exploring the music of key 20th-century composers and musical movements in their widest possible cultural, social and historical context. The 2012/2013 season will see Salonen appear in more than 30 cities worldwide with the Philharmonia Orchestra, with projects including a Beethoven Symphony Cycle and a focus on the works of his mentor Witold Lutos?awski, marking the centenary of the composer's birth.\nThe Philharmonia Orchestra is one of the world's great orchestras. Acknowledged as the UK's foremost musical pioneer, with an extraordinary recording legacy, the Philharmonia leads the field for its quality of playing, and for its innovative approach to audience development, residencies, music education and the use of new technologies in reaching a global audience. Together with its relationships with the world's most sought-after artists, most importantly its Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Philharmonia Orchestra is at the heart of British musical life. Today, the Philharmonia has the greatest claim of any orchestra to be the UK's national orchestra. It is committed to presenting the same quality, live music making in venues throughout the country as it brings to London and the great concert halls of the world. The Orchestra's extensive touring schedule this season also includes a Beethoven Cycle at the Bonn Beethovenfest (October), a tour of the U.S. featuring a three-concert residency at Berkeley, California and performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall, and Lincoln Center, (November); and a tour to Japan (February), all conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen.\nThe concert concludes the LA Phil's Visiting Orchestras series for the 2012/13 season.\nBoth concerts of the LA Phil's Visiting Orchestras series this season were led by former LA Phil Music Directors – the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra led by Zubin Mehta and featuring Yuja Wang appeared in October.", "char_count": 3219, "token_count": 804, "k_exact": 3.0239, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9621, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Other government and private health plans would see costs rise as would-be Medicare recipients seek care elsewhere.\nThe proposal, which President Obama in a Bloomberg interview signaled a willingness to consider in talks over a deficit-reduction deal, would fail to address Medicare's more pressing fiscal issues.

Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. \"We haven't updated the law to reflect that.\"\nCongress agreed in 1983 to increase the retirement age for full Social Security benefits to 67, a change that doesn't take complete effect until 2022. Seniors would accept a similar gradual alteration to Medicare, Republicans say.\nThe savings to the federal budget would depend on how much the age is lifted and how quickly. While Boehner's proposal doesn't offer specifics, House Republicans called for increasing eligibility to age 67 in their fiscal 2013 budget. Medicare spending would be cut $148 billion over a decade if eligibility increased two months each year to age 67 in 2027.\nSavings to the government would accumulate slowly as Medicare began paying benefits to fewer people. The Treasury would collect more in Medicare payroll taxes because many seniors previously eligible for the program would keep working instead, to retain their health insurance. By 2035, the change would reduce projected Medicare spending by 5 percent, according to the CBO.\nGovernment spending would increase elsewhere as many erstwhile Medicare beneficiaries became eligible for other health-care programs. Some would join Medicaid, the federal- state insurance program for the poor. Others would receive subsidies to buy private coverage under Obama's health-care overhaul, the Affordable Care Act. That would reduce the federal government's net savings to $113 billion, the CBO said.\nThe number of uninsured people would rise, Keckley said, because some seniors would forgo purchasing insurance and wouldn't be eligible for Medicaid, particularly in states that decline to expand that program.\nTwo-thirds of seniors would see their health-care bills climb by $2,200 if lawmakers immediately raised the age to 67, according to a study last year by the Kaiser Family Foundation of Menlo Park, Calif. Employers' costs would grow by about $4.5 billion, Kaiser said, because their health plans would cover more elderly workers with health problems.\nFormer Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz- Eakin said that shouldn't be a concern.\n\"I don't see why it's a presumption that the federal government should pay for everyone's health care,\" said Holtz- Eakin, a one-time adviser to President George W. Bush. \"The real cost shift is when people go on Medicare and make everybody else pay for their health care.\"\nThe proposal would squeeze spending on some of Medicare's cheapest beneficiaries - younger recipients tend to be healthier so they place fewer demands on the program - without addressing older, more expensive seniors.\nAverage Medicare spending among those between the ages of 65 and 75 amounted to $5,887 in 2006, according to Kaiser. The program spent more than twice that, $12,059, on those ages 85 and over. Spending on those in their last year of life represented 28 percent of all Medicare costs in 1999, according to the program's actuaries.\nAARP, the advocacy group for the elderly, sent volunteers yesterday to warn lawmakers of the additional costs.\n\"There are lots of other things we can do to reduce health-care costs without passing the buck onto beneficiaries,\" said Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee.\nOur new comment system is not supported in IE 7.

In particular, this invention relates to a method and system for collecting and transmitting video record rental data to a processing device at a remote location for revenue-sharing purposes.\nIn the business of renting video tape records of movies, distributors such as motion picture studios normally sell the tape cassettes at relatively high prices to the rental stores. As a result, the rental store owners are required to make a relatively large capital investment in order to buy enough tapes to meet their customers' needs. Often the owner can not afford to purchase the quantity of video tapes required to satisfy the demand. The result is that both the distributors and the rental stores lose revenues, and some members of the public do not get the opportunity to rent the movie of their choice.\nIn response to these problems, video tape revenue-sharing rental methods have been proposed and developed. In one such method, a video tape store owner may obtain a video tape from a studio or other distributor for a relatively small initial cost. Thereafter, each time the video tape is rented, the distributor receives a certain percentage of the rental income. After a video tape has been rented a certain number of times, or after a predetermined time period has passed since the video tape was first offered for rent, the video tape may be offered for sale to the public and the proceeds divided between the store owner and the distributor.\nAll parties benefit from such an arrangement. The public has more copies of a movie available to rent, the store owner can reduce the amount of capital tied up in the tapes, and both the store owners and the distributors earn more revenues from the added rentals. This may induce the motion picture studios to release movies on video tape much sooner, or even simultaneously with the movies' release to theaters, so that a greater portion of the public can enjoy the movies sooner and at a lower cost.\nThe above-described rental method preferably is carried out by a computer system such as that shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,029,034, issued Jul. 2, 1991, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,050,031, issued Sep. 17, 1991. Both of those patents are assigned to the assignee of the present patent application.\nThe system shown in those patents is highly advantageous; it enables the transmission of rental data from many different retail rental store terminals to a central computer or processor. This system computes the shares of video rentals earned by the retailers and distributors, prepares reports regarding rental transactions, and otherwise handles the accounting for the transactions electronically, as it is described in greater detail in those patents.\nThe system shown in those patents has the advantage that the speed and cost of collecting rental data is greatly improved. If desired, \"counting cassettes\" also can be used to count the number of plays of a video record by the customer, and the rental charge can be based on the number of plays.\nIn one known commercial system using one embodiment of the invention shown in those patents, all of the transaction data including rental and sale information of each store is transmitted to the central computer from each rental terminal. A problem with that arrangement is that many stores sell other products such as sweatshirts, candy, etc. in addition to renting or selling video records. Therefore, the video record business forms only a portion of the business of many rental stores. This is particularly true where the store is one which primarily sells other merchandise, such as supermarkets, department stores, etc. Therefore, there is a substantial amount of data which must be sorted out from the record rental information. This sorting should be done in the stores before the transmission of data to the central computer to prevent overloading the central computer equipment, thus increasing its cost, and also increasing the cost of data transmission and processing. For this reason, special features presently are required in the software used in the rental store to sort the extraneous data out before transmission to the central computer. Without such features, the software is incompatible with that of central computer.\nAnother problem is caused by the diversity of different point-of-sale computers and software which are used by video record retailers. Only a relatively few of the software packages have been modified to make them compatible with the central computer. Therefore, in order for retailers to participate in the revenue-sharing program, they often are required to buy relatively expensive compatible software to replace that which they already have. Also, they are required to re-train their employees to use the new software.\nAnother problem exists even with rental stores which have compatible software in that they may not have a compatible local area network operating software.\nAnother problem is that some rental stores do not have any computerized point-of-sale equipment at all. Therefore, even the smallest rental store is forced to acquire relatively sophisticated and expensive computer equipment in order to be able to participate in the revenue-sharing plan.\nIn either of the foregoing circumstances, the relatively high cost of acquiring new computer hardware and/or software is a significant deterrent to participation in the revenue-sharing plan.\nAccordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide equipment and methods for merchandise distribution data processing which overcomes or substantially alleviates the foregoing problems.\nMore specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide equipment and methods for use in video record revenue-sharing which significantly reduce the cost of entry into the revenue-sharing plan.\nAnother object of the invention is to provide a data collection system and method which can be used with a wide variety of computers and software without significant modifications.\nIt also is an object of the invention to provide a relatively low-cost and compact point-of-sale input terminal.\nThe foregoing objects are met by the provision of a data collection means and method, operating on signals used to display data in the local computers, to collect data for transmitting to a central computer. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the data is video record rental and sale data from retail distribution locations.\nIf desired, the rental data is segregated from that relating to the sale of other merchandise, and the data for revenue-sharing rentals is identified so that it can be further segregated by the central computer. Alternatively, if desired, the revenue-sharing data can be segregated locally so that only it will be sent to the central computer. Optionally, the revenue-sharing data can include pay-per-play data developed by the use of play-counting cassettes.\nThe invention is capable of segragating rental transaction data from sales transaction data. Additionally, revenue-sharing rental transaction data can be segregated from non-revenue sharing data. Further, if desired, sending of transaction data to the central computer can be controlled on a product or title ID basis.\nSelecting data from that used by display devices in the local point-of-sale (\"POS\") systems has the advantage that the data collection equipment used can be largely standardized and need not be customized to be compatible with each of the multitude of hardware and software systems now used as point-of-sale equipment. The data sent to the display device (display screen or printer, e.g.) almost always is in ASCII code. Therefore, a device responsive to that code will be useable with almost all such equipment.\nThe invention includes a method for integrating into a data processing network, POS equipment which has incompatible software. A display data analyzing device is connected to the POS equipment to separate out and transmit to the central computer the data desired. Since the original POS equipment and software need not be changed, the cost of entry into the revenue-sharing plan is reduced significantly.\nDisplay data sent to the display screen and/or printer of the usual POS system is formatted by the system software so that predetermined data usually appears in a predetermined location on the screen and/or printed invoice, or receipt or other business form. In the present invention, advantage is taken of this fact to provide a relatively fast, inexpensive means for selecting data.\nThe data is selected on the basis of its location on the display. Preferably, this is done by forming movable outlines of variable size on the display and capturing any data which falls within the outlines. In addition, recognition marks are placed on the display to identify that display as one which contains data to be captured; for example, data pertaining to the rental or sale of video records.\nAdvantageously, the recognition marks and the location and size of the windows can be varied individually in each POS system, either locally by relatively simple manipulations of the POS system controls, or by a command downloaded from the central computer. Thus, each data collection device may be customized to accommodate the individual needs of the POS system. Moreover, this can be done by an ordinary installer who need not be a computer programmer.\nChanges made in the data collection system or POS system after installation similarly can be accommodated easily. For example, if the retailer decides to start renting play-counting tape cassettes such as those described in the above-identified patents, and therefore must capture data indicating the number of plays, the changes in the data capture procedures can be made relatively quickly and inexpensively.\nA novel small-footprint data entry terminal is provided to reduce the cost and size of the POS equipment used by the retailer.\nThe small-footprint terminal has a keyboard with substantially less than a full complement of alphabetic character entry keys. Preferably, the keyboard has no such keys; rather, it has numerical keys and dedicated but programmable keys for entering specific data relating to video record transactions. This saves the cost and space required for a full keyboard, and makes the recording of a transaction faster and simpler.\nPreferably, the small footprint terminal has a relatively small display using segmented elements, for example, dot matrix elements, to form the characters. A two-line, forty-character, LCD display is preferred. This small display provides all the display capacity needed, while saving the space and cost of a large video display.\nThe small-footprint terminal is operated as a slave from an ordinary personal computer used as a master in a local area network.\nOther objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in or apparent from the following detailed description and drawings. In the drawings:\nFIG. 1 is a block diagram of a video record rental revenue-sharing system constructed in accordance with the present invention;\nFIG. 2 is a schematic, partially perspective drawing of one embodiment of the point-of-sale system of the invention;\nFIG. 3 is a schematic, partially perspective view of another embodiment of the point-of-sale system of the invention;\nFIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C-1, 4C-2, 4D-1 and 4D-2 comprise flow charts for computer programs utilized in the invention;\nFIGS. 4E, 4F, 4G, 4H, 4I and 4J represent respective screens which may appear on a CRT display;\nFIGS. 5 and 6 are schematic, partially perspective views of further embodiments of the point-of-sale system of the invention;\nFIG. 7 is a schematic circuit diagram of a \"data tap\" or collection device constructed in accordance with the invention;\nFIG. 8 is a block diagram of the circuitry of a small footprint data entry terminal (\"SFT\") constructed in accordance with the invention;\nFIG. 9 is a schematic circuit diagram of a LAN adapter constructed in accordance with the invention; and\nFIG. 10 is a perspective view of the small-footprint data entry terminal (\"SFT\") whose circuitry is shown in FIG. 8.\nFIG. 1 shows a video tape record revenue-sharing distribution system 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention. FIG. 1 is schematic and shows only a small part of an actual system which typically would be used commercially.\nThe system 10 includes a central computer or processor 12 which communicates with a point-of-sale (\"POS\") system in each of a large number of individual video record retail stores. Only three such stores, Stores No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are shown in FIG. 1, by way of example.\nThe POS equipment in Store No. 1 is conventional prior art equipment. It comprises a local area network which includes a personal computer 14 used as a server. The server 14 uses programming compatible with that of the central computer. Also included are two slave terminals T1 and T2. The server or PC 14 is connected to a dial-up modem 13. The server 14 through the use of the modem 13 periodically calls up the central computer 12 and transmits accumulated rental transaction data for the store to the central computer over telephone lines 31, which if it is a long distance call would preferably be through one of the long distance systems such as \"Tymnet\", \"Sprint\", \"MCI\" or \"AT&T\". Alternately, the central computer 12 may periodically call up the modem and cause it to transmit the accumulated rental transaction data for the store to the central computer over the telephone lines.\nThe central computer or processor 12 processes the data it receives by first separating the data regarding revenue-sharing cassettes from all of the other data it receives. Then, it computes the shares of the revenues due to the cassette owners or distributors and to the retailers. Reports and funds are sent to the respective participants in the revenue-sharing program according to a formula previously agreed upon. If desired, reports can be transmitted through a modem 30 and telephone lines to computers such as S1 -S4 at the places of business of the cassette owners. Alternatively, reports can be sent by ordinary mail or telecopier, etc.\nPayments from the retailers can be made by conventional means, or by means of electronic fund transfer banks B1, B2, B3, etc., as it is more fully described in the above-identified patents. Payments can be made to the entity owning and operating the system 10, which then pays the cassette owners and retains its share of the revenues.\nAs it is indicated in FIG. 1, many other stores in the revenue-sharing system communicate over other telephone lines 34 with the central computer 12. Each of those other stores can have point-of-sale equipment and software such as that shown in one of Stores No. 1, 2 and 3, or other combinations shown herein, or in any other desired combination.\nThe point-of-sale (\"POS\") system in Store No. 1 includes, in addition to the modem 13, server 14 and terminals T1 and T2, a cash drawer 15 or 17 for each terminal T1 or T2, and a printer 16 which is connected to one of the terminals T1 and T2 to print receipts and other matter in the normal transaction of retail video store business.\nEach terminal has a bar-code reading wand 18 or 19 to read bar-coded product identification numbers and other product data into the terminal. A credit-card reader (not shown in Store No. 1) often is used with each terminal.\nThe server 14 also can be used as a sales terminal, and can have its own cash drawer, bar-code reader, credit card reader and printer, if desired.\nThe server can have local area network (\"LAN\") adapter equipment, file servers, and other equipment used in a local area network. Each terminal T1, T2 usually has a video display screen, a keyboard, hard disc and/or soft or floppy disc drives, etc., as in conventional personal computers.\nOf course, if only one sales terminal is needed, the PC 14 can be used, together with a printer, wand, cash drawer, etc., as the only input terminal.\nIf needed, further terminals can be added, as indicated by the dashed line 20.\nAs it has been stated above, point-of-sale systems like the one in Store No. 1 are in widespread use in video stores throughout the United States and elsewhere in the world. However, in order for such systems to operate with the central computer 12, the software they use must be compatible with that used in the central computer. Specifically, the software should segregate the video record transactions from the others into separate files which may be then transmitted to the central computer in pre-defined data record formats. Further, video record titles which are used in the store are matched to the standard titles as defined by the central computer.\nOnly a few of the software packages designed for video rental store use have been modified to be compatible with the central computer software in the known revenue-sharing system in the U.S.A., the one which is operated by Rentrak Corporation. Therefore, the owners of many stores having point-of-sale computer equipment are forced to buy expensive compatible software and re-train their employees to use the new software in order for the retailer to participate in the revenue-sharing program. This is daunting and creates a substantial impediment to the growth of revenue sharing and its benefits.\nStore No. 2 has exactly the same point-of-sale equipment as store No. 1 except that its software is not compatible with that of the central computer 12. However, it has been adapted, in accordance with the present invention, to be operable with the central computer 12 without replacing the incompatible software already in use.\nIn accordance with the present invention, three novel devices called \"data taps\" 22 are used together with a LAN adapter card 21, a master PC 25 and software stored in the server 14, terminals T1 and T2 and in the master PC 25. Each data tap 22, as will be described in greater detail below, separates the information regarding video record rentals from the data which is sent to the printer or the display screen of the terminals T1 or T2 or the server 14, and sends the information to the master PC 25 which stores the information until it is transmitted through the modem 13 to the central computer 12.\nThe three data taps 22 are connected together in series in a \"daisy chain\" sequence. There is one data tap for each terminal T1, T2, etc. and for the server 14 in the POS system.\nFIG. 3 is a partially perspective schematic view of an adapted POS system 60 which is the same as that used in Store No. 2 of FIG. 1, except that the terminal T2 and the server 14 are not shown, and only one data-tap 22 is used.\nThe server 14 and each terminal T1, T2, etc. is a separate personal computer whose software is not compatible with that of the central computer. The LAN adapter card 21 and modem 13 shown in Store No. 2 of FIG. 1 are inside the master unit 25 and are not visible in FIG. 3.\nAs shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, each respective data tap 22 is connected to the terminals T1, T2 and the server 14, and is further coupled through the LAN adapter 21 to the master computer 25. One of the data taps, for example, the data tap connected to terminal T1 is also connected to the printer 16. The data tap 22 is adapted to receive and temporarily store all data displayed on the display screen of the terminals T1, T2, and data to be printed on the printer 16. The captured data is thereafter supplied through the LAN adapter to the master computer.\nA \"TSR\" program disc 52 is shown in FIG. 3. As it will be described in greater detail below, the TSR program is used in each terminal T1, T2, etc. to facilitate data selection and processing in accordance with the invention.\nApplicants have taken advantage of the fact that, regardless of the brand of the computer, data which is sent to the display screen or display device such as the printer 16 consistently is in ASCII code. Therefore, the hardware of the data tap can be standardized so that one type of device can be used with a wide variety of computer hardware and software.\nThis is highly advantageous. It minimizes hardware and software costs and facilitates modification of existing POS systems to lower the cost of entry into the revenue-sharing plan. Also, the store employees need not be re-trained to use new software, because they can simply continue to use the software with which they are familiar. This minimizes any business interruption which might be caused by entry into the revenue-sharing plan.\nStore No. 3 of FIG. 1 is an example of a store that has no computer equipment to start with. Since such a system has no incompatible software, compatible software can be used from the very start. However, since it might be a major expense to the store owner to purchase a prior point-of-sale system simply for the purpose of enrolling in the revenue-sharing plan, applicants have provided hardware with minimum cost and size so that the store owner's investment is kept to a minimum.\nIn particular, the system in Store No. 3 includes a master PC 25, a LAN adapter 27, a printer 16 and cash drawers 15 and 17. Also included are optional credit card readers 28 and 29, as well as bar code reader wands 18 and 19.\nIn accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the POS system also includes two simple, low-cost data input \"Small Footprint Terminals\" (\"SFT's\") 23 and 24. The small footprint terminals will be described in greater detail below.\nWith the use of the small footprint terminals, if needed, and the advantageous software of the present invention, the store owner of Store No. 3 can install a system which will keep track of inventory, and all sales transactions, and also will automatically separate out the data for video record transactions and transmit it through a modem over a telephone line 32 to the central computer, all at a relatively modest cost.\nFIG. 2 is a partially perspective view showing an integrated POS system 40 like that used in Store No. 3 of FIG. 1, except that only one SFT terminal 23 is used instead of two.\nThe master computer 25 is a conventional personal computer such as one made by IBM, or an IBM compatible personal computer. It has a full keyboard 42, a video display screen 44, an internal hard-disc drive (not shown), and a floppy-disc drive whose input port is shown at 46.\nThe master computer 25 is programmed to be compatible with the central computer 12. It also is programmed to perform the data capture functions similar to those previously described with reference to the data tap 22.\nIn addition, certain other features are provided by the software, as it will be described below.\nThe printer 16 is a standard dot-matrix, ink-jet, laser or other printer connected to the printer port of the computer 25.\nThe cash drawer 15 is conventional, as is the credit card reader 28 and the bar-code reader 18.\nThe modem 26 and the LAN adapter card 27 of FIG. 1 are physically located inside the housing of computer 25 and are not visible in FIG. 2.\nThe small footprint terminal (\"SFT\") 23 is a compact, relatively inexpensive data entry terminal with a keypad 50 and a two line LCD display 148, each line having 40 characters. The SFT 23 will be described in greater detail below, and is shown enlarged and in its preferred form in FIG. 10.\nEach of the master computer 25 and the SFT can be used at a separate check-out counter or station in the store. Another SFT can be added for each other station in the store.\nActually, the cash drawer 15, bar-code reader 18, card reader 28, the LAN adapter card, and the SFT 23 are not absolutely necessary to enable a store without a computer to participate in the revenue-sharing plan. The store only needs to acquire a master computer 25 with the compatible software described herein, and a modem and a printer.\nAs it is explained in the above-identified patents, most video tape cassettes bear information which is in both human-readable and bar-code form identifying the title of the work, a serial number for the cassette, etc. The bar-code reader 18 can be used to read this information into the computer 25 quickly. However, the store clerk can input the same information by means of the keyboard 42. Other products sold in the store also have similar identification information which is entered into the master computer 25. If one or more SFT terminals is included in the system, each such terminal can be used to enter the same information into the computer 25.\nThe computer 25 preferably is programmed to provide functions other than simply entering sales and rental data. For example, it can be used to order video tapes from an on-line revenue sharing catalog which may be periodically downloaded from the central computer 12. Additionally, the computer 25 provides information useful in operating the video tape rental store, including lists of video tape rentals by title, over-due video tapes, current video tape inventory, purchase order status, etc.\nOther functions which can be performed by the master computer 25 are described in the above-identified patents.\nThe SFT 23 communicates with the master computer 25 by way of a local area network (LAN) which is implemented using the LAN adapter card 27 (FIG. 1). By way of this communication, the SFT 23 is able to receive price or other information from data bases stored in memory in the computer 25. Upon completion of each business transaction, the SFT 23 transmits the information relating to the transaction to the computer 25, which processes the information, and may cause the printer 16 to print an appropriate record of the transaction, such as an invoice.\nThe master computer 25 separates the data regarding rentals or sales of video records from other information, stores the video record data, and, at a predetermined time, transmits it to the central computer 12. The cassette identification numbers for revenue-sharing cassettes are known and can be identified by the central computer 12 to compute revenue shares. If preferred, only the revenue-sharing cassette rental information is collected, stored and transmitted to the central computer.\nThe computer 25 through the use of the modem 26 periodically calls up the central computer 12 and transmits accumulated transaction data for the store to the central computer over telephone lines 32, which may be one of the long distance systems previously described with reference to telephone lines 32. Alternately, the central computer may sequentially dial the telephone numbers assigned to each of the master computers in the separate stores in the system 10 at respective predetermined times, and cause the stored revenue-sharing data to be transmitted from each computer through its modem. Previously-stored orders placed by the store for revenue-sharing tapes also are transmitted to the central computer by this means.\nThe central computer 12 also transmits data to each master computer 25 in the system while it is connected to it. By this means, the central computer transmits updates to the catalog of available revenue-sharing properties, and other communications to each store. It also can transmit re-programming instructions to each local POS system.\nAlthough the cash drawer, barcode reader, printer and credit card reader are connected by cables to the master computer 25, the SFT 23 also has receptacles in the rear panel (not shown) into which those devices could be connected, if it is more convenient to do so.\nEach SFT terminal 23 is specially adapted for use as a POS terminal. Therefore, extraneous features needed in a general-purpose computer are not included. By this means, the cost of each SFT is minimized. This reduces the cost of the POS system in a store requiring more than one sale terminal.\nFIGS. 5 and 6 show other examples of adapted POS systems; that is, existing POS systems which are not compatible with the central computer 12 but have been adapted to be compatible without replacing the existing software.\nFIG. 5 shows an existing POS system which includes a personal computer 202 used as a file server, work stations 208 and 210, and printers 212 and 213. Work stations 208 and 210 communicate with the server 202 by way of a conventional local area network package such as that sold under the trademark \"NOVELL\" by Novell, Inc, or \"LANTASTIC\", by Artisoft, Inc. Each package includes software and LAN adapter hardware. To adapt such a POS system to be compatible with the central computer 12, there is added a master computer 25, software programs, data taps 204, 205 and 206, the LAN adapter hardware and a modem (not shown) in the master computer.\nAs it is shown in FIG. 7, as well as FIG. 5, each of the data taps has a serial input port 230, a serial output port 232, and parallel ports 240 and 242 to allow the data tap to be connected to other equipment through either serial or parallel ports, as the equipment might require.\nEach data tap also includes a LAN input connector 236 and a LAN output connector 238.\nThe master computer 25 is connected through cable 220 to the data tap 204 through LAN input terminal 236. Data tap 204 is connected through port 238 and cable 223 to the next data tap 205, which is connected to data tap 206 through cable 225. The three data taps thus are connected together in \"daisy chain\" fashion. This facilitates adding further data taps and workstations at the end of the \"daisy chain\", as the store and the POS system grow.\nThe server 202 is connected to the data tap 204 through the cable 221 and the parallel input port 240. Similarly, the printer 212 is connected to the data tap 204 through parallel port 242.\nEach of the workstations 208 and 210 and the server 202 may be a full personal computer with a video display 246, a full keyboard 248, and may have a hard disc drive and/or a floppy disc drive 250. Each of these units 202, 208 and 210 has both serial and parallel ports and can be connected to the data tap through its serial input port 230. As an example, workstation 210 is connected to parallel port 240 of data tap 206 through cable 226.\nPrinter 213 is connected to parallel port 242 of data tap 206 through a cable 227.\nThe printer 212 is connected to serve both the server 202 and the first workstation 208. Printer 213 serves the second workstation 210. If desired, a separate printer can be provided for each data entry station.\nIt should be understood that the LAN adapter 21, modem 13, cash drawer, bar code readers, etc. shown in store No. 2 of FIG. 1 have been omitted from FIG. 5 for the sake of clarity. However, the POS system will include the adapter and modem, and usually will include the other items as well.\nA program disc 214 is shown above each of the server 202 and the two workstations in FIG. 5 to indicate that a TSR program is stored in the unit and is used in the manner to be described below.\nThe POS system shown in FIG. 5 continues to use the software already used in the pre-existing LAN, and thus avoids the need to purchase new software and re-train employees to use the new software. The master computer 25 and data taps 204-206 operate independently, with compatible software, to gather and transmit the data needed for participation in the revenue-sharing plan.\nA POS system utilizing a UNIX operating system as illustrated in FIG. 6. The existing POS system includes a UNIX server 302, slave data entry terminals 304 and 306, and printers 308 and 310. To adapt such a POS system for use with the revenue-sharing system shown in FIG. 1, a master computer 25 and three data taps 312, 314 and 316 are utilized. The master computer 25 is connected to the data taps via cables 320, 325 and 327 in a \"daisy chain\" sequence like that shown in FIG. 5.\nThe connection of the terminals 304 and 306 to the server 302 is similar to that described above and shown in FIG. 5, except that, in the UNIX POS system, a separate cable 323 or 324 connects each slave terminal 304, 306 to the server. Accordingly, each data tap is connected between the server and one of the terminals, through cable 326 or 330.\nWhen a printer is connected to a server or terminal, additional parallel connections are used. For example, printers 308 and 310 are respectively connected to the parallel ports of the data taps by cables 322 and 330 and from there to the server 302 and terminal 306 by way of the cables 321 and 329.\nA program disc 303, which bears a program which is substantially similar to the TSR program 214 of FIG. 5, is loaded into the UNIX server 302 so as to enable the server to capture data displayed on the display screen of the server and/or sent to the printers and to supply such data to the respective data taps.\nEach of the terminals 304 and 306 is a so-called \"dumb\" terminal; that is, it is a terminal having limited processing capabilities, and which depends on the server to process the data input at the terminal and define the display on the screen of the terminal.\nThe master computer 25 communicates with the data taps 312, 314, and 316 in a manner substantially identical to that previously described with reference to FIG. 5.\nThe computer programs used for data selection and storage are highly advantageous.\nIn general, a \"teacher\" program is used to create stored \"templates\" and \"trapper\" routines in each POS system.\nThe \"templates\" are routines for recognizing data appearing in predetermined locations on either a display screen or a printed invoice. The locations are set to match the specific formats used for invoices and/or screen displays in each store.\nIn an integrated system which has no data taps, the template(s) is or are stored in the master computer 25, (which also may be the only computer, in the smallest POS system).\nIn POS systems using data taps, the templates can be stored in the data taps, to save computer storage capacity, or in the master computer 25, or in the smart terminals of a system such as that shown in FIG. 5 or in the servers such as those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.\nThe \"trapper\" routines which are created by use of the \"teacher\" program use the template(s) to separate and identify data to be stored and sent to the central computer 12. The \"trapper\" routines are stored in the master computer 25, and also may be stored in smart terminals or servers.\nIn the trapper routines, a unique combination of characters called \"landmarks\" is used to distinguish each type of display from the others. When a display is identified as one containing desired data, that data is selected by use of a template, stored in the master computer, and eventually uploaded to the central computer.\nThe \"teacher\" program is a program which is stored in the master computer, smart terminals and servers. It can be used by authorized personnel, such as an installer, to create the templates and trapper routines in a given POS system.\nThe templates for use with display screen data are created, in the manner to be discussed in detail below, by forming outlines or windows around specific areas of the screen, and enabling the detection of data when it appears in the windows.\nIf the data is selected from that which is transmitted to the printer to print business forms such as invoices, and if the data appears on the display screen on the computer 25, etc., in the same format as on the printed form, then the same technique can be used in establishing the template(s) as when screen data is used.\nHowever, if the format of the data displayed on the screen does not match that of the printed data, a different technique is needed. For example, the invoice can be placed on a digitizer tablet, and the areas of the invoice from which data is selected can be outlined by the use of a digitizing pen.\nPreferably, however, the data tap is programmed to have a \"pass-through\" mode in which data, for example, invoice data, is simply passed through to the master computer and stored on disc. Then the data for a typical invoice is put in the location required by the invoice, and pased through to the master computer, recalled, and displayed on a terminal screen. The data capture areas then are set to cover the areas occupied by the displayed data.\nIn either case, regardless of whether screen data or printer data is analyzed, the trapper program works in substantially the same way to detect and select data to send to the central computer 12.\nThe trapper and teacher routines are \"terminate and stay resident\" (TSR) routines; that is, routines which are able to run in a computer at the same time another portion of the main program is being executed.\nThe trapper and teacher programs will now be more fully described with reference to FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C-1, 4C-2, 4D-1 and 4D-2. In this description, as an example, it is assumed that the programs are used in the terminal T1 of store no. 2 of FIG. 1.\nThe trapper program is initiated at step S10 of FIG. 4A.\nProcessing then proceeds to step S20 in which a determination is made as to whether the trapper program has already been loaded. This determination prevents multiple copies of the trapper program from being executed. That is, if the trapper program has already been loaded, as indicated by a \"Yes\" at step S20, an indication representing that the trapper program has already been loaded is displayed and further processing is terminated, as indicated by steps S21 and S22, respectively.\nIf, on the other hand, the trapper program has not already been loaded, as indicated by a No at step S20, processing proceeds to step S30. At step S30, processing associated with the existing or \"old\" clock subroutine is redirected so as to include processing of an additional or \"new\" clock subroutine. This new clock subroutine is initiated by a clock interrupt signal which typically occurs at a rate of 18 times per second, and will be more fully described later. Processing then proceeds to step S35.\nAt step S35, the template file for the trapper program is read. The template file resides on disc in the terminal and contains a template which previously was created by use of the teacher program, as it will be described below.\nAt step S40, the status of the trapping process is set. At this time, data is not being trapped. Flags may be utilized for indicating the trapping status. For example, a \"0\" flag may be set at step S40 to indicate a \"trapping nothing\" status. Processing then proceeds to step S50.\nAt step S50, an indication that the trapper program has been properly loaded is supplied to the display screen of the terminal T1 so as to notify the operator. Thereafter, the trapper program is placed in a \"terminate and stay resident\" (TSR) mode as indicated in step S60.\nUpon the occurrence of a clock interrupt signal, processing of the new clock subroutine is initiated in step S70 and then proceeds to step S80. At step S80, a determination is made as to whether the new clock or old clock subroutine is currently being executed. If the determination at step S80 is affirmative, processing proceeds to step S110. At step S110, the processing returns to the old clock subroutine, so that the normal processing of the application software is continued.\nIf, on the other hand, the new clock subroutine is not currently being executed, as indicated by a \"No\" at step S80, then processing proceeds to step S90. At step S90, the \"trapper\" subroutine is executed. The trapper subroutine of step S90 is shown in detail in FIG. 4B.\nReferring now to FIG. 4B, the trapper subroutine starts at 125 and proceeds to step S130, in which a flag is detected, if it is present, indicating that video cassette rental data was being selected or \"trapped\" during the previous interrupt cycle. If the determination in step S130 is affirmative, processing proceeds to a series of steps S131-S134 for determining when the data on the terminal screen has changed, and for saving cassette rental data.\nAt step S131, a determination is made as to whether the previously selected \"landmarks\" have changed. \"Landmarks\" are selected certain portions of the data displayed on the terminal screen during the processing of video cassette rentals. They are unique in terms of their content and/or their location on the screen. Any screen having these marks is identified as a screen containing video cassette rental data.\nIf the recognition marks have changed, as indicated by a Yes at step S131, processing proceeds to step S132. At step S132, a \"trapping nothing\" flag is set for the next interrupt cycle. This indicates that the display has changed and that the next display must be tested to see if it has cassette rental or return data.\nWhen the landmarks have changed, this indicates that the screen being displayed has changed, and the next screen must be tested to determine whether or not it is one which has rental or return data. After step S132, processing proceeds to step S133, in which the data saved from the areas of the display selected by the template is sent to an output buffer. Thereafter, processing proceeds to step S170, wherein processing exits the trapper subroutine and returns to step S100 in FIG. 4A, where one packet of data is sent to the output port of the data tap or computer in which the program is operating.\nIf, however, the landmarks have not changed, as indicated by a No at step S131, processing proceeds to step S134. At step S134, the rental information which has been trapped is saved, updated during subsequent interrupt cycles, and ultimately sent to the output buffer at the end of the display. Thereafter, processing returns to step S100 to wait for the next interrupt cycle.\nIf the determination in step S130 is negative, processing proceeds to step S140. At step S140, a determination is made as to whether the selected information pertains to the return of video cassettes to the store after a rental. If the determination in step S140 is affirmative, processing proceeds to steps S141-S144, which are the same as steps S131-S134 except that they are performed for return data rather than rental data.\nIf the determination in step S140 is negative, meaning that neither a \"trapping returns\" or \"trapping rentals\" flag has been set, processing proceeds to step S150. At step S150, a determination is made as to whether landmarks have been detected which match. This comprises the first identification of the display as one having video cassette rental data. If there is such a match, as indicated by a Yes at step S150, then rental data is trapped and stored in the memory at step S151. Thereafter, at step S152, a \"trapping rentals\" flag is set to indicate that video cassette rental data is being trapped, and the process returns to step S100 in FIG. 4A to await the next interrupt cycle.\nIf, on the other hand, there is not a match of video cassette rental landmarks, as indicated by a No at step S150, then processing proceeds to step S160. At step S160, a determination is made as to whether cassette return landmarks have been detected. If there is such a match, as indicated by a Yes at step S160, then processing proceeds to steps S161 and S162, whereupon processing identical to that of steps S151 and S152, respectively, is performed, except that a \"trapping returns\" flag is set up and return data is saved.\nIf there is not a match of video cassette return landmarks, as indicated by a No at step S160, then processing returns to step S100 in FIG. 4A.\nThe trapper routines are repeated once for every clock interrupt signal, which has a frequency of 18 interrupt cycles per second.\nWhen each new display is created, it has neither a \"trapping rentals\" flag nor a \"trapping returns\" flag. The display is first identified as one containing data to be saved in step S150 or S160. Thereafter, during each subsequent interrupt, since the status flag has been set at step S152 or S162, the determination of step S130 or S140 is affirmative. As a result, processing proceeds to step S131 or S141 so as to determine if the landmarks have changed. If the landmarks have not changed, thereby indicating that the same screen is still being displayed, video cassette rental information continues to be trapped and saved.\nThe next time in which the trapper subroutine is executed, since the status flag set in step S152 or S162 has not changed, the determination at step S130 or S141 is again affirmative. Processing then proceeds to step S131 or S141. At this point, assume that the display screen has changed. The determination at step S131 or S141 is then affirmative. Since the screen has changed, video cassette rental information is no longer being trapped and, as such, the status flag is set accordingly at step S132 or S142. All of the trapped video cassette transaction information, which had been saved at steps S151, S161, S144 and S134, is supplied to the output data buffer of the terminal at step S133. Processing then proceeds to step S170.\nReferring again to FIG. 4A, the data stored in the output data buffer at steps S133 and S143 at the termination of a screen is supplied by way of the output parallel printer port of the terminal T1 to the data tap 22, or are sent directly to storage in the master computer 25, in a system having no data tap. Since only a certain limited amount of data can be transmitted during each interrupt cycle, one packet of data is transmitted during each cycle until all of the data has been transmitted. By transmitting the data in this manner, a slowdown of the POS processing is not noticeable. The data waiting to be transmitted is stored in memory, for example, the RAM, of terminal T1.\nPrior to transmitting this data, a unique character or characters are added at the beginning and the end of the data stream. These characters provide a means for the data tap 22 to distinguish between data which is trapped as a result of the trapper program from data to be printed by the printer 16. That is, upon detecting these unique characters, the data tap is alerted that the data identified by the unique characters is trapped data to be sent to the master computer, and is not to be printed.\nAfter step S100, processing proceeds to steps S110 and S120 as previously described.\nReferring now to FIGS. 4C-1 and 4C-2, the \"Teacher\" program is initiated at step S210. Thereafter, processing proceeds to the determination step S220. The processing performed in steps S220, S230 and S240 is substantially similar to that of steps S20, S21 and S22, respectively, and therefore will not be further described.\nIf the teacher program has not already been loaded, as indicated by a No at step S220, processing proceeds to step S250 in which the signals produced by pressing the keys on the keyboard of the terminal T1 are modified or \"redirected\" in a \"new keyboard\" routine.\nSubsequently, in step S260 a template file is loaded from disc into memory. This template file may be a default file as, for example, represented by the windows located on the right side of screen No. 4. Alternatively, the template file may be one that had been previously modified, and may be similar to that represented by the windows shown in screen No. 6.\nAfter step S260, in step S270, an indication that the teacher program has been loaded successfully is displayed. Thereafter, the program is placed in a terminate and stay resident mode (TSR) at step S280.\nStep S290 is initiated to bring the target application onto the screen. Because teacher is not active, the new keyboard, as in the step S300 routine, executes the old keyboard function. In step S310, the application responds in a normal manner to a key press. In step S320, a determination is made as to whether the key pressed terminates the application. If not, the loop formed of steps S300, S310 and S320 are repeated as the application responds to each key press. Once the desired screen is brought to the display, so-called \"Hot Keys\" are pressed and the teacher is activated.\nThe \"new keyboard\" portion of the teacher program utilized for creating the trapper template will now be described.\nReferring now to FIG. 4C-2, the new keyboard routine is initiated by a key press. As previously mentioned, while the teacher is not active and prior to a hot key press, the old keyboard routine is executed in step S350 and processing then proceeds through steps S360 and S370 to step S450, which completes the routine. Once the hot key is pressed, while the teacher is inactive, step S350 executes the old keyboard routine. Processing then proceeds through step S360 to step S370, whereupon the hot key press is detected.\nAt step S380, a status indication or flag is set indicating that the teacher program is active. Thereafter, processing proceeds to step S390, in which an initial status indication or flag is set indicating that neither landmarks nor data areas are currently being set or learned. Processing then proceeds to step S400, in which the currently displayed application screen is saved in a memory of the terminal T1. Thereafter, processing proceeds to the teacher subroutine of step S410.\nThe teacher subroutine of step 410 is expanded as shown in FIG. 4D.\nReferring now to FIGS. 4D-1 and 4D-2, the processing of the teacher subroutine starts at step S460 and proceeds to step S470. At step S470, the installer may select a key from the displayed main menu. As an example, in the preferred embodiment, selecting the \"Alt\" and \"1\" keys initiates processing of the trapper template for the video cassette rental landmarks and data, whereas selecting the \"Alt\" and \"2\" keys initiates processing of the trapper template for the video cassette return landmarks and information data. After selection of the key or keys in step S470, processing proceeds to step S480.\nAt step S480, a determination is made as to whether the escape key has been pressed by the installer. If the escape key has been pressed, as indicated by a Yes at step S480, processing proceeds to step S482.\nAt step S482, a determination is made as to whether areas for either rental or return landmarks and data are being set or learned. If the determination in step S482 is affirmative, processing proceeds to step S484. At step S484, the status indication or flag is set to indicate that neither rental or return information is being learned. Thereafter, processing returns to step S470. If, however, the determination at step S482 is negative, processing proceeds to step S486, whereupon the teacher subroutine is exited and processing is returned to step S420. Thus, after the learning processing has been initiated as described later, the escape key needs to be pressed twice in order to exit the teacher subroutine.\nIf, on the other hand, the escape key has not been pressed, as indicated by a No at the Step S480, processing proceeds to step S490. At step S490, a determination is made as to whether the key(s) selected in step S470 initiates learning of the video cassette rental landmarks and data information. That is, in the preferred embodiment, were the \"Alt\" and \"1\" keys selected in step S470.\nAs an example, assume that the \"Alt\" and \"1\" keys were selected in step S470. As a result, the determination in step S490 is affirmative. Processing then proceeds to step S492 in which areas to be used for landmarks and data information are displayed as well as functional information used for identifying the landmarks and data information. Processing then proceeds to step S494, in which the status indication or flag is set to indicate that rental landmark or data information areas are being set. Thereafter, processing returns to step S470, for selection of key from those identified in the sub-menu.\nProcessing then proceeds through steps S470 and S480 to step S490. At step S490, since a key from the sub-menu was selected in step S470 and not the learning rental or \"ALT\" and \"1\" keys, processing proceeds to step S500. Similarly, processing proceeds through step S500 to step S530.\nAt step S530, a determination is made as to whether the learning of rental landmark and data information areas is currently being performed. If the determination in step S530 is affirmative, processing proceeds to step S540. In this situation, since the flag was set in step S494 indicating that rental learning is being performed, processing proceeds to step S540. At step S540, the landmark and data areas are selected. These areas may be selected by using, for example, cursor locating or arrow keys (↑, ←, ↓, →) to move shaded areas to the desired positions, thereby forming a rental template. After completing this rental template, processing returns to step S470.\nSince the rental template is completed, processing proceeds from step S470 to step S480, whereupon the escape key is selected. Thereafter, processing proceeds to step S482. Since the flag set in step S494 still indicates that rental landmark and data information areas are being learned, processing proceeds to step S484.\nAt step S484, the flag is reset to indicate that rental learning is no longer being performed. Thereafter, processing returns through step S470 to step S480. Upon pressing the escape key again, processing now proceeds through step S482 to step S486, thereby exiting the teacher subroutine.\nIf landmark and data information areas pertaining to video cassette returns had been desired, the \"Alt\" and \"2\" keys would have been selected initially at step S470. In this situation, the processing of steps S500, S510, S520, S550 and S560 would have been performed. Since the processing performed in these steps is substantially the same as that performed in steps S490, S492, S494, S530 and S540, respectively, they will not be described further.\nReferring again to FIG. 4C-2, after the teacher subroutine ends, as indicated at S420, the landmark and data information areas are saved in a file entitled the \"template file\" in memory. Then, as indicated at S430, the application screen saved at step S400 is displayed.\nProcessing then proceeds to step S440 where the flag initially set in step S380 is changed to indicate that the subroutine is no longer active. Processing is then returned to the application software at step S450.\nIf the new keyboard is called while the teacher is active, processing proceeds through steps S340, S350 and S360 to completion at step S450.\nThe following description illustrates the operation of the teacher program. Sample display screens are reproduced for use in the description. The screens were produced using a data format produced by an existing POS program. This illustrates how the invention easily can be used with a variety of existing video retail store software packages.\nIn the interest of brevity, the following description will be limited to the use of the teacher program to set landmark and data capture areas for video record rentals only, with the understanding that the teacher program also can be used for video record returns and sales, etc. Similarly, the teacher program may also be used in the rentals, returns and sales of non-video record items.\nUpon loading the teacher program into the memory of the terminal T1 or other computer, display shown in Screen 1 illustrated in FIG. 4E appears on the CRT display.\nNext, a display for use in renting video records is selected, and screen 2 illustrated in FIG. 4F appears.\nThe information appearing on screen No. 2 illustrated in FIG. 4F will now be described, beginning at the top of the screen and proceeding to the bottom.\nThe top line of Screen No. 2 includes an invoice number for the rental transaction, the time and date, and the term \"CAP\". The invoice number displayed in this example is No. 1. The time and date represent the time and date of transaction. The \"CAP\" term indicates the lock function of the keyboard.\nThe second line from the top of Screen 2 includes identification of the cashier/drawer, the customer file number and \"items out.\"\nThe cashier/drawer entry identifies the cashier operating the terminal or workstation or the cash/drawer being used with the terminal or workstation.\nThe customer file number allows tracking of customers between different stores of the same chain.\nThe term \"items out\" indicates the current number of video cassettes and video players which this customer has not as yet returned.\nThe third line from the top of Screen 2 includes a sales person identification number, customer identification, and total rentals.\nThe sales person identification is entered into the terminal or workstation by the sales person and stored in memory prior to initiating any business transactions. The customer identification may be in the form of a number, and the customer's name and/or phone number. In this situation, the customer identification is \"1 J. Smith\".\nThe total rentals (TOT RENTS) indicates the number of rentals which this customer has rented over a predetermined time period. In this situation, this customer has previously rented one video cassette during the last week.\nThe fourth line of Screen 2 includes the term \"DAYS OUT\", \"MEMBERSHIP FEE\" and \"CREDITS DUE\".\n\"DAYS OUT\" refers to the rental period and is typically set by the store owner. In this particular example, the store owner has set the standard time period for the rental of a video cassette to be one day.\nThe \"MEMBERSHIP FEE\" term indicates the total expenditure paid by the customer for his or her membership in the video store club. In this example, since the customer is not a member (as indicated by the pricing type \"O\") the customer has not paid anything towards a membership fee.\nThe \"CREDITS DUE\" term refers to a credit in terms of a number of free rentals which may be owed to the customer. In the example shown, the customer is not owed anything.\nThe fifth line from the top of Screen 2 includes the terms \"DAYS CHARGE\", \"MEMB PRICING TYPE\" and \"ITEM NUMBER\".\nThe \"DAYS CHARGED\" term refers to the number of days charged to the customer for the video cassette rental. As with the previously described \"DAYS OUT\" term, the charge is set by the video store owner. In this example, since the video cassette is rented for one day, the number of days charged for also is 1. If, however, the customer were to rent a video cassette on a Saturday evening and the store were to be closed on the next day, a Sunday, the \"days out\" term would indicate 2, but the \"days charge\" term would still be 1.\nThe \"MEMB PRICING TYPE\" term stands for \"membership pricing type\". This indicates one of four pricing classifications in which the customer has been placed. As an example, the store owner may provide discount memberships to senior citizens or full-time students, and so forth.\nThe ITEM NUMBER term is the actual identification number of the item being rented or purchased. As previously described, this item may be entered by use of the bar code wand 18 to read it off of the tape cassette being rented, or by use of the keyboard of the terminal or workstation. While the item number is being entered, the number appears on the line to the right of the colon (:). Upon entering a valid item number, the number to the right of the colon is omitted and the number is placed in parenthesis as shown to the left of the colon.\nThe sixth line from the top of Screen 2 includes the headings \"NO.\", \"DESCRIPTION\", \"RSCF\", \"DAY O\", \"DAY C\", \"CHARGE\", \"DUE DATE\", \"DUE TM\" and \"A/P\".\n\"NO\" is a number assigned to the item which is being sold or rented, and corresponds to the above-described item number. More specifically, upon entering the item number from the fifth line, the number corresponding to this item number, which is stored in the database of the master computer, is recalled and displayed. In this example, the number in the master computer's database corresponding to the entered item number of the fifth line is 1001.\nThe \"Description\" column provides a description of the item being rented or sold. In this situation the item is a movie, as indicated by the term \"MOV\", and is entitled Gone With The Wind.\nThe RSCF column refers to the type of the transaction. That is, \"R\" indicates a rental, \"S\" indicates a sale, \"C\" indicates a credit and \"F\" indicates a free transaction, such as for a free replacement.\nThe \"Day O\" column indicates the number of days which this movie is rented for, which, in this example is one day.\nThe \"Day C\" column indicates the number of days for which the customer is to be charged for this rental which in this situation is one day.\nThe \"Charge\" column indicates the cost of the rental.\nThe \"Due Date\", \"Due Time\" (TM) and A/P columns indicate the day and time in which the video cassette is to be returned. In this example, the cassette is to be returned no later than 4:00 pm on Sep. 24, 1991.\nThe eighth line of Screen 2 includes membership pricing type (MEM TYP) and account balance (ACT BAL).\nThe membership pricing type is identical to that displayed on the fifth line and is merely redisplayed at this location.\nThe account balance indicates the outstanding balance which the customer owes. In the example shown, the balance is 0.\nThe ninth line of Screen 2 includes total rentals (\"TOTAL RENT\"), membership fee (\"MEMB FEE\") and sub-total.\nThe total rentals is the amount charged for all video cassette rentals for the current transaction, which in this example is $7.00.\nThe membership fee indicates the amount towards a membership which the customer is currently paying. In this situation, the customer is not paying anything towards his or her membership fee.\nThe sub-total indicates the amount of total rentals, sales and miscellaneous charges prior to any applicable sales tax.\nThe ninth line from the top of Screen 2 includes \"TOTAL SALE,\" \"SALES TAX\" and \"NOT-RESERVED\".\nThe \"TOTAL SALE\" indicates the total amount of video cassette sales, and thus lists sales separately from rentals. The sales tax entry is self-explanatory.\nThe \"NOT RESERVED\" message appears indicating that the cassette being rented was not previously reserved by the customer. If the cassette is rented at the same time as it was reserved for, and if the customer renting the cassette is the one who reserved it, a \"MATCH\" message will appear. If the same customer reserved it for a different time, a \"SEMI-MATCH\" message appears.\nThe eleventh line of Screen 2 lists miscellaneous charges (\"MISC CHRGS\"), \"TOTAL\" and [Esc]=END.\nThe miscellaneous charges indicate the non-video cassette items such as candy, cigarettes, etc. which have been purchased.\n\"TOTAL\" is the grand total of the current transaction, including tax.\nThe [Esc]=END prompt reminds the operator that upon completing the transaction the \"ESC\" key is to be pressed to end the transaction.\nThe last two lines on Screen 2 list the function keys F1 through F10 and their respective functions.\nF1 and F2 move the cursor to be moved in an upwardly or downwardly direction, respectively, inside the area of the screen dedicated to the transaction information. That is, these keys, in combination with the keyboard, allow the operator to edit a line.\nFunction keys F3 and F4 may be used by the operator to enter a Days Out and a Days Charge which may be different from that set by the store owner.\nKey F5 informs the terminal or workstation that a check-in or video cassette return is to be entered. By pressing function key F5, the screen is changed to a screen for handling the returns of video cassettes.\nThe customer key F6 is used to modify the customer number/name or phone number of the third line.\nThe total key F7 is used to calculate a re-total. The miscellaneous or function key F8 is used to enter price information for miscellaneous items, such as popcorn, etc.\nPressing function key F9 allows the cursor to move to the portion of the screen containing the No., description, RSCF, Day O, etc., terms.\nUpon pressing the function key F10 the transaction currently displayed on the screen is aborted.\nIn accordance with the present invention, upon pressing the \"hot keys\" on the keyboard, that is, the \"Alt\" and the left \"shift\" keys, the main menu of the teacher program is displayed in the shaded area at the bottom of the display as shown in Screen 3 illustrated in FIG. 4G. The main menu allows the installer to select processing for either \"rentals\" or \"returns\".\nBy pressing the \"Alt\" and \"1\" keys, the operator displays the sub-menu of the teacher program for rentals in the shaded area at the bottom of the display as shown in Screen 4 illustrated in FIG. 4H.\nThe sub-menu in Screen 4 includes ten terms which are used for identifying the landmarks and the data capture areas.\nTerms LM1, LM2 and LM3 are used for identifying three landmarks. Similarly, the next seven terms are used to identify rental transaction data, that is, the invoice No. (\"Inv\"), customer (\"Cust\"), type of transaction (\"Type\"), the number of days desired to rent the video cassette (\"Qty\"), volume identification or the number of the volume (\"Vo Id\") of the item being rented or sold, title of the video cassette (\"Title\") and the price or charge for the rental or sale (\"Price\").\nAlso displayed on the right side of the screen is a row of 10 rectangular shaded areas, each of which corresponds to one of the 10 terms displayed in the sub-menu. The top-most shaded area is reserved for landmark No. 1, the next shaded area below is for landmark No. 2, and so forth, down to the bottom shaded area which is for the price data. The operator can move the shaded areas and change their sizes to cover the desired landmark and information areas as described below with reference to Screens 5 and 6.\nAny of the terms in the submenu in Screen 4 can be selected by pressing \"ALT\" plus one of the keys 0 to 9 on the keyboard. When this is done, Screen 5 illustrated in FIG. 4I appears.\nEach of the shaded areas on the right side of the screen can be moved to a desired location to cover the area where certain data appears. The shaded areas can be moved by using the cursor or arrow keys (↑, ←, ↓, →). The size of each area can be modified by using the \"Shift\" key together with the desired arrow key.\nThe technology for creating, moving and enlarging these areas is well known in the art and will not be described here. For example, such technology is utilized in a number of word processing programs which are commercially available.\nAs shown in Screen 5, the areas containing the \"INVOICE NUMBER\", \"CASHR/DRAWER\" and \"NO. DESCRIPTION\" have been selected as the three landmark areas. This has been done by moving the three uppermost shaded areas in Screen 4 to the left, as shown in Screen 5.\nThese three areas were selected because collectively they contain data which is unique to the rental screen in terms of content and location. Therefore, later, during use of the \"trapper program\", if each of the terms \"INVOICE NUMBER\", \"CASHR/DRAWER\" and \"NO. DESCRIPTION\" is detected in these landmark areas, then the screen being displayed is identified as a rental screen from which data is to be saved for transmission to the central computer 12.\nScreen 6 illustrated in FIG. 4J is the same as Screen 5, except that the data capture areas have been fully defined.\nThe manipulative steps involved are illustrated by the following example.\nThe operator presses the \"Alt\" and the \"4\" keys to activate the fourth shaded area from the top in the right portion of Screen 4. Then, this capture area is moved by use of the arrow keys so as to cover the \"1\" following the \"INVOICE NUMBER\" term on the top line of the screen. This area then is reduced in size, by using the \"SHIFT\" and the arrow keys, as it has been described above, so as to cover only the area reserved for the invoice numbers.\nSimilarly, the other data capture areas are moved and re-shaped to cover the customer number, the type or RSCF column, the quantity or days out column, the volume identification No. column (i.e., the column entitled \"NO.\"), and the title and the price or charge column.\nLater, during operation of the \"trapper\" program, the data in these seven data captures areas is saved for later transmission to the central computer 12.\nThe pattern of data capture areas shown in Screen 6 is referred to in this patent application as a \"template\".\nUpon completing the template for the video cassette rentals, the operator presses the ESCAPE key. As a result, the teacher program exits from the sub-menu and returns to the main menu display shown in Screen 3 above.\nUpon pressing the ESCAPE key a second time, the operator restores the rental screen normally displayed by the application software, Screen 2 which is shown above.\nThe teacher program can be used in the same manner to set or adjust the landmark and data capture areas for other screens, such as for returns, etc.\nFIG. 7 is a block diagram of the data tap 22. The data tap includes a microcontroller 102, a memory segmentation and selection circuit 104, a programmable serial I/O circuit 112, a parallel I/O circuit 116, a local area network (LAN) I/O circuit 120 and a data, address and control bus 110.\nThe data tap 22 is connected to the master computer 25 by way of the LAN I/O circuit 120 and a cable as shown above in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, etc. (not shown in FIG. 7). This allows communication between the master computer and the data tap. In a preferred embodiment, both transmitted and received communications are differentially driven by utilizing RS-422 or RS-485 interfaces. The use of these interfaces allows effective communications over relatively large distances. That is, an RS-422 or RS-485 interface allows effective communication up to a length of approximately 5,000 feet, whereas a standard RS-232 interface typically restricts the effective length of a communication path to only about 50 feet. The LAN I/O circuit 120 is preferably configured so as to allow \"daisy chain\" connections between multiple terminals or work stations, as described above, and as it will be described in greater detail below.\nThe parallel I/O circuit 116 includes two parallel ports 240, 242 in which one of the ports 242 is adapted to function in a bi-directional manner as either an input or an output port. This bi-directional port 242 is connected to the printer, 212 as shown in FIG. 5. The other port 240 may be connected to a terminal, a server computer or a workstation, also as shown in FIG. 5.\nThe programmable serial I/O circuit 112 contains a dual universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (Dual UART) integrated circuit. This I/O circuit has two serial interface ports 230, 232, in which one of the ports 232 is connected to a POS terminal and the other port 230 is connected to its server computer, for example, a Unix server, as shown in FIG. 6.\nThe microcontroller 102 is adapted to control the data processing functions performed by the data tap. As an example, the microcontroller may be an 8-bit microcontroller such as model no. MC68HC11A1 manufactured by the Motorola Corporation. This microcontroller is limited to controlling 64 k-bytes of data, which is entirely adequate for the task.\nThe memory segmentation and selection circuit 104 includes a EPROM 106 and a RAM 108. This circuit is adapted to apportion areas of the EPROM and RAM as required. Since the preferred microcontroller is limited to controlling 64 k-bytes of data, the total available memory in the EPROM and RAM is also limited to 64 k-bytes, As a result, in a preferred embodiment, the EPROM has 32 k-bytes of memory capacity in which 8 k-bytes are available and the RAM has 64 k-bytes of memory capacity in which 56 k-bytes are available. The RAM is adapted to receive an operating program from the master computer 25 and to store the same within its 56 k-bytes of available memory. A boot code program is stored within the 8 k-bytes of available memory in the EPROM. Predetermined subroutines may also be stored in the EPROM.\nA power supply 122 receives power from an external power source, for example, a 115 V., 60 Hz outlet, and transforms the 115 V. power to 5 Vdc which is used to power the data tap 22. Alternatively, the power supply may be configured so as to receive other input power which, for example, may be 230 V., 50 Hz, or other power available in other countries.\nA unique serial number circuit 114 is provided. It includes an integrated circuit and is adapted to generate a unique 48-bit number. This unique number is supplied via the bus 110 and the LAN I/O circuit 120 to the master computer 25. The master computer supplies this 48 bit number to the central computer 12. Alternatively, this number is replaced with a smaller unique number, for example, an 8-bit number, which may be supplied to the central computer. This number provides a means for identifying the data tap and the corresponding POS station.\nAs an example, the central computer can identify a malfunctioning POS station to the store owner through use of the unique identification number. Further, in the event that a POS station is disconnected, either intentionally or unintentionally, the central computer can identify the disconnected POS station by use of the identification number.\nThe data, address and control bus 110 provides a means for a controlled data transfer between the microcontroller 102, memory segmentation and selection circuit 104, programmable serial I/O circuit 112, unique serial number circuit 114, parallel I/O circuit 116, LEDS 118 and 119 and LAN I/O circuit 120.\nWhen power is applied to the data tap 22 from the power supply 122, the boot code program stored in the EPROM 106 is executed by the microcontroller circuit 102. As a result, the main operating program is downloaded from the master computer 25 into the RAM 108. The microcontroller then executes the program which was recently stored in the RAM. The subroutines stored in the EPROM may be addressed during execution of the main program.\nAs previously described, the data tap 22 is connected between a printer and a data entry terminal by way of the parallel I/O circuit 116. Further, the data tap is coupled to the master computer 25 by way of the LAN I/O circuit 120.\nAs it has been indicated above, a data template can be used to capture data either from the data displayed on the screen of the input terminal, or from the data sent to the printer to prepare a printed record of the transaction.\nAssuming that printer data is to be captured, printer data is sent from the input terminal to the data tap, where the data is temporarily stored in the RAM 108. While the data to be printed is temporarily stored in the RAM, the data tap executes the trapper routine so as to determine if the data to be printed contains relevant video record transaction information. As an example, if this determination indicates that the document to be printed is an invoice, then data appearing at specific locations, will be captured. That data typically includes the invoice number, the video title, etc. The data captured is temporarily stored in the RAM and later is transmitted to the master computer for storage until it is uploaded to the central computer.\nThe stored data also is supplied through the parallel I/O circuit 116 to the printer in a regulated manner. Therefore, the data tap also functions as a data buffer for the printer.\nIf it is screen data which is being captured, and if the POS system uses a data tap, the captured or trapped data is sent to the data tap where it is temporarily stored. By detecting the unique character or characters which are placed at the beginning and the end of the trapped data by the trapper program, the data tap is able to distinguish trapped data from data which is to be printed. This prevents the trapped data from being mistakenly supplied to the printer and then printed. The data temporarily stored in the data tap is subsequently supplied to the master computer 25.\nThe master computer repeatedly polls all of the data taps in a POS system in sequence to determine if they have data to be transmitted to the master computer. If a data tap has any such data, the master computer signals the data tap to transmit it. The data is transmitted in separate data packets, one for each polling cycle, as it is commonly done in computer networks.\nStill referring to FIG. 7, light-emitting diodes (\"LED's\") 118 and 119 are used for providing information relevant to the operation of the data tap 22 to the operator. The activation of the green LED 119 indicate that the master computer is attempting to communicate with the data tap. The activation of the red LED 118 indicates that the data tap is properly communicating with the master computer.\nAdditionally, the LED's 118 and 119 are utilized for fault isolation or error detection by causing the LED to blink.\nFIG. 10 is a perspective view of the small footprint terminal (\"SFT\") 23, and FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the circuitry of the SFT. The SFT 23 also is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.\nThe SFT, as shown in FIG. 10, includes a housing 500 with an upper surface 501. A display 148 and a keypad 50 are located on the upper surface 50.\nThe SFT circuit shown in FIG. 8 includes a microcontroller 140, a memory segmentation and selection circuit 142, the display 148, a keypad controller 150, the keypad 50, a data, address and control bus 154, a programmable serial I/O circuit 156, a parallel I/O circuit 162 and a LAN I/O circuit 164.\nThe memory segmentation and selection circuit 142 includes an EPROM 144 and a RAM 146. Circuit 142 controls the configuration of the EPROM 144 and RAM 146. In a preferred embodiment, EPROM 144 contains 64 k-bytes of which 8 k-bytes are available and RAM 146 contains 64 k-bytes of which 56 k-bytes are available. A boot-up program is stored within the EPROM 144.\nPreferably, the microcontroller, EPROM, RAM, I/O circuits, power supply and memory control circuits are the same as in the data tap 22 so as to take advantage of standardization as much as possible.\nThe display 148 is adapted to display operator requested data. The display also may provide the operator with other useful information. For example, in the event that network communications with any of the master computer 25, the printer 16, the bar code reader 18, the credit card reader 28 or the cash drawer 15 are interrupted, an error message will be displayed. To aid during the installation of the system, installation messages may be displayed. Further, if the printer runs out of paper or if input data is in an incorrect format (e.g., the data does not contain the required number of numerals), an error message will be displayed. Furthermore, prompts to assist in the use of the credit card reader and the cash drawer also may be displayed.\nReferring now to FIG. 10, as well as FIG. 8, the display preferably is a two-line by 40 character wide reflective dot matrix liquid crystal display (\"LCD\"). Alternatively, the display can be a two-line by 24 character wide LED or vacuum fluorescent display, or one of a number of known, relatively inexpensive and compact displays.\nThe keypad 50 has keys of the type having a tactile feel, with graphic overlay.\nThe keypad 50 has numeric keys 534 which include ten keys for the numbers 0 through 9, and a decimal point key 523. These keys allow entry by the operator of rental, sale and customer identification numbers, quantity, discount information and price changes, and other numerical information.\nThe keyboard has five edit keys which include a Clear All key 502; a Clear Item key 504; a Scroll Up key 508; a Scroll Down key 510; and a Back Space key 524.\nPressing the Clear All key 502 clears all items or entries in the current transaction, and returns the display 148 to a ready state. Any data which was displayed on the display 148 is not forwarded to the master computer 25.\nThe Clear Item key 504 clears the customer identification, item identification and/or the price of the item currently being displayed. This allows a revised customer identification, item identification and/or price of the current item to be entered and displayed.\nThe Scroll Up and Scroll Down keys 508 and 510 change the lines which are displayed. As a result, when a customer has changed his or her mind about a transaction, or when an error has occurred, the operator is able to go back to a line which had been previously entered so that the operator may revise the line as desired. The backspace key 524 moves the operating display cursor (not shown) one space to the left each time this key is depressed. In so doing, the character occupying this space is deleted.\nThe keypad has programmable function keys which include a Tape Return key 506; a No Tax Total key 512; a Print key 514; a Sell key 516; a Quantity key 518; a Discount key 520; a New Price key 522; a Customer key 526; a Rental key 528; a Total key 530; and an Amount Tendered key 532. The functions of these keys will be explained below.\nThe small footprint terminal 23 is surprisingly versatile for a unit so small and inexpensive. It can be used to enter video record transactions and the sales of widely varying merchandise which also might be offered in the same store. It can be used to enter the sales of goods and beverages; clothing; hardware, and many other items as well as the sale, rental or return of video records.\nThis versatility facilitates the installation of video record rental counters or departments in retail food stores, grocery stores, hardware stores, and many other types of stores which often do not rent video records, thus increasing the income of the stores, and expanding the distribution outlets for the video records.\nWhen the terminal is used as a part of a revenue-sharing video record rental it also facilitates the participation of the user in the revenue-sharing plan.\nThe use of the SFT to enter such a wide variety of transactions now will be described.\nWhen power is first applied to the POS system including the SFT, the microcontroller 140 (FIG. 8) provides an operator message or \"prompt\" display via bus 154 to the display 148. The \"prompt\" is shown in Display 1 below. ##STR1##\nDisplay 1 instructs the operator to enter the customer number, or the Item identification number, or the price. If the transaction is a video record rental, the customer number is entered. The item I.D. or price is entered for other transactions.\nAll of this information can be input by use of the keypad 50. The Item identification can be entered by use of the bar-code reader to read the number off of the product, or by use of the keypad. In the situation in which the price is to be entered, as later described, the price will be input by means of the keypad.\nFollowing is an example of the use of the SFT to record a rental transaction in which two video cassettes are rented to one customer.\nIn response to Display 1, the operator enters the customer's identification number, which is 1234567. Then, Display 2 appears, instructing the operator to press the appropriate function key, ##STR2##\nThe proper function key is the Customer key 526 (FIG. 10) which is pressed to indicate that the number is a customer number. Then, the SFT displays the customer's name and any late fees which the customer owes, as shown below in Display 3. In this example, the late fee owed is zero. ##STR3##\nNext, the identification number of the first video cassette of the two to be rented is entered, by means of the keypad or bar-code reader. Upon entering this number, the operator is instructed to press the appropriate function key, as shown below in Display 4. ##STR4##\nSince this video cassette is being rented, rather than sold, the Rental key 528 (FIG. 10) is pressed. As shown below, in Display 5, pressing the Rental key causes the title, rental return date and price of renting that cassette to be retrieved from memory in the master computer and displayed on the SFT display 148. ##STR5##\nNext, information relating to the rental of the second video cassette (\"Title 2\") is entered and displayed using the same steps as those described above for the rental of the first video cassette. These steps are shown by displays 6 and 7 below. ##STR6##\nNext, the Total key 530 is pressed. As shown below, in Display 8, pressing this key causes the total amount, including tax, to be calculated and displayed. Further, individual subtotals of the rental charge; charges for any sales included in the transaction; and tax amounts also are displayed. ##STR7##\nAssume, at this point, that the customer gives the operator $5.00 in payment for the rentals. The operator enters \"5.\", and is instructed to press the appropriate function key, as shown below in Display 9. ##STR8##\nThe operator presses the Amount Tendered key 532, which causes the amount of change owed the customer to be computed and displayed, as shown below in Display 10. ##STR9##\nNext, signals are supplied to the drivers 157 and 158 (FIG. 8) so as to open the cash drawer and activate the buzzer 159. The buzzer warns the operator that the cash drawer is open.\nIf the POS system is configured to automatically print a customer invoice, a data signal containing certain portions of the information relating to the transaction is supplied from the microcontroller 140 via the bus 154 and the parallel I/O circuit 162 to the printer. Upon receipt of this signal, the printer prints a customer invoice. If the POS system is not so configured, an invoice can be printed by pressing the Print key 514.\nIf the transaction is the return of a rented tape cassette, the operator again inputs the customer's identification number in response to Display 1. Alternatively, in this situation, the customer identification number need not be entered.\nNow, the operator presses the Customer key 526, and then the Tape Return key 506. In response, the program of the SFT causes the display of the title of the rental cassette; the due date for its return; and any late fees due for late return of the rental cassette.\nThe Total key 530 and the Amount Tendered key 532 can be used in the manner described above to complete the transaction, and the Print button can be used to print an invoice for the further fees.\nIf a video record is being sold, rather than rented, the operator enters the cassette identification number in response to Display 1, and presses the Sell key 516 this identifies the transaction as a sale rather than a rental. Preferably, the data regarding this transaction, as well as the record rental data is captured, saved and eventually uploaded to the central computer.\nThe sales transaction is concluded in the same manner as the other transactions described above.\nSales of merchandise other than video records can be handled in the same way as for record sales, where the product has an identification code.\nSales of merchandise which has no product code, or sales where the store does not use product codes for merchandise other than records, can be handled in another fashion. When Display 1 appears, the operator simply enters the price of the item together with a decimal point (e.g. \"10.\"), and the program recognizes this as a sale, and the price and the words \"DIRECT SALE\" are displayed.\nThe sales transaction then is completed in the same way as other transactions.\nIn sorting the data concerning video record rentals or sales from other transactions, the identification numbers on the cassettes are used to identify the product as a video record. This causes the data for the transaction to be arranged in a predetermined format. A template is used, in the manner described above, to identify the display, and to data capture selected parts of the data, and to save and upload the data to the central computer.\nVarious other function keys are provided to assist in recording rental and sales transactions.\nThe No Tax Total key 512 is used to calculate a subtotal without including sales tax. Upon depressing this key, \"NO TAX TOTAL\" and the corresponding cost is displayed on the display 148.\nThe Quantity key 518 can be used to enter quantity of the item being sold or rented, where more than one such item is being sold or rented. The resultant cost (i.e., quantity x unit price of the item) is displayed.\nIf the item is being rented, the Quantity key 518 is used to input the number of rental periods, for example, the number of days, for which the customer desires; to keep the record. In this situation, the due date and the price are displayed.\nThe Discount key 520 can be pressed after either an item has been entered, or the Total key 530 has been pressed. In the former situation, the discount entered is applied to the associated item to reduce its price. In the latter situation, the discount entered is applied to the total cost of the transaction.\nIn either situation, the discount value is interpreted by the SFT 23 as an actual discount amount, if the decimal point key 523 is used. However, if the decimal key is not used, then the discount is interpreted as a percentage.\nThe Change Price key 522 is used to override the stored price and manually enter a new price of an item. This allows incorrect or outdated rental or sales prices stored in the data base of the master computer 25 to be corrected. This key may also be used to modify a late fee. However, this key can not be used to change either the total amount of the transaction or the applicable tax.\nAs it is shown in FIG. 10, the keys on the keypad 50 have been arranged optimally. For example, the four most frequently used function keys (that is, the Customer, Rental, Total and Amount keys) are arranged in an array located on the right hand portion of the keypad and in a sequence which is anticipated to be that most often used in a rental transaction.\nThe numeric keys 534 are arranged in a pattern substantially similar to that of most calculator keypads. Further, the more frequently used keys such as the Customer, Tape Return, etc. keys are wider or higher than the other keys and also are identified with distinctive colors.\nThis arrangement makes the keypad 50 very user friendly. As a result, daily operations are relatively easy to perform. Further, training time for new operators is minimized.\nThe SFT achieves its compact size and low cost in part by the elimination of the 26 letter keys of the usual keyboard. It also uses a display of greatly reduced size and cost to achieve those results.\nDespite the lower cost and smaller size, the terminal is versatile and reliable. More over it is not \"dumb\"; it has its own \"intelligence\" and storage capacity, and programming which helps it achieve versatility.\nReferring again to FIG. 8, the keypad controller 150 preferably is a microprocessor, such as the model number 16C54 microprocessor manufactured by the MicroChip Corporation. The chip 150 contains a ROM. Stored in this ROM is a program used for controlling the keypad operation. The keypad controller is adapted to \"debounce\" the keypad in a conventional manner, and to transmit data corresponding to the operator-selected keys to the microcontroller 140.\nCircuits 156, 157 and 162 provide tke respective interfaces for the bar code wand 18, the cash drawer 17 and the printer 16.\nThe programmable serial I/O circuit 156 contains a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) integrated circuit device and is adapted to provide a serial interface for the bar code wand. As a result, data received from the bar code wand is supplied to the microcontroller 140.\nThe driver circuit 157, in response to a predetermined signal from the microcontroller 140, supplies an enabling signal to the cash drawer 15 which causes the cash drawer to open. An additional predetermined signal is supplied from the microcontroller 140 through a driver circuit 158 to a buzzer 159. The buzzer 159 is activated to inform the operator of the opening of the cash drawer.\nThe parallel I/O circuit 162 is adapted to enable data transfer between the SFT 23 and the printer 16. Circuit 162 includes a parallel port which may function in a bi-directional manner, that is, as either an input or an output port.\nThe buzzer 159 is also actuated if one of the previously-described error messages is displayed, or when a function is completed which has taken longer than a predetermined time, for example, a few seconds, to complete. In this latter situation, the use of the buzzer helps to reduce operator fatigue, by allowing the operator to direct his or her attention away from the SFT 23 during relatively long processing time periods.\nThe buzzer also is activated if a key is pressed out of the correct sequence. In this situation, the display 148 will display an \"INVALID KEY\" message for a predetermined time period which, for example, may be approximately one second.\nThe data, address and control bus 154 is connected to the circuits of the SFT 23 as shown in FIG. 8. This bus provides a controlled path by which data may be transferred between the circuits of the SFT.\nThe unique serial number circuit 160, LAN I/O circuit 164 and the power supply circuit 166 are substantially similar to the unique serial number circuit 114, LAN I/O circuit 120 and power supply circuit 122, previously explained with reference to FIG. 7 and, as such, will not be further described.\nUpon applying power to the SFT 23 through the power supply circuit 166, the boot-up program stored in the EPROM 144 is executed by the microcontroller 140. This causes an operating program from the master computer 42 to be downloaded into the RAM 146. Thereafter, the microcontroller 140 executes the operating program stored in the RAM 146.\nAs with the EPROM 106 of FIG. 7, the EPROM 144 may contain predetermined subroutines which may be referenced in the operating program. When this occurs, such subroutines will be read from the EPROM 144 and executed during the execution of the operating program by the microcontroller 140.\nThe SFT 23 is enabled to receive incoming data from the master computer 25 via the LAN I/O circuit 164. The SFT may also receive incoming data from the bar code reader 18 or the credit card reader 28 via the programmable serial I/O circuit 156.\nThe SFT also receives operator-input data from the keypad 50. The SFT, through use of the microcontroller 140, provides data to the printer 16 and the display 148, and provides enabling signals to the cash drawer 15. The SFT also supplies data relating to completed transactions via the LAN I/O circuit 164 to the master computer 25.\nCable connectors (not shown) are provided at the rear of the SFT 23 for cable connections to each of the bar code wand; the credit card reader; the printer; the cash drawer; and the LAN.\nThe small footprint terminal provides a relatively simple, compact and inexpensive sales terminal for POS systems in general, and particularly for video record rental and sales activity. By recognizing that the full keyboard, video screen and other features of a full-feature input computer are not necessary, applicants have lowered the cost and space requirement for entry into the efficient computerized business operations, and revenue-sharing video record rentals.\nFIG. 9 is a block diagram of the LAN adapter 27. The LAN adapter enables data communications between the master computer and all units which are connected to the LAN adapter, including, for example, SFT's and data taps. The LAN adapter circuitry preferably is configured to be mounted on a single printed circuit board which may be inserted into an expansion slot of the master computer. Upon being inserted into the expansion slot, the LAN adapter card is connected to the master computer's bus. This enables power to be supplied to the LAN adapter and enables data transfer.\nThe LAN adapter includes a microprocessor 180, a memory segmentation and selection circuit 182, a programmable serial I/O circuit 188, a LAN I/O circuit 190, a dual port arbitration circuit 192 and a dual port RAM 196.\nThe microprocessor, I/O circuits, and memory circuits preferably are the same as corresponding components in the data tap and SFT, to obtain the benefits of standardization.\nThe memory segmentation and selection circuit 182 includes an EPROM 184 having 32 k-bytes of memory capacity and a RAM 186 having 64 k-bytes of memory capacity. The circuit 182 is adapted to function in a manner similar to that of the previously described memory segmentation and selection circuits 104 and 142. That is, the EPROM 184 is adapted to store a boot code program. This stored boot program is executed by the microprocessor 180 when power is applied to the LAN adapter or when the microprocessor is reset.\nAs a result of executing this program, a main operating program is downloaded from the master computer into the RAM. The main program is then executed by the microprocessor. This program enables the LAN adapter to perform a rapidly repeating polling of the units connected to the LAN adapter. The results of this polling are supplied to the master computer, and the master computer responds accordingly. For example, as previously described, data taps are periodically polled to determine if they have data for the master computer. If they do, then the master computer may request such data be transmitted to the master computer by way of the LAN adapter.\nThe dual port RAM 196, which in a preferred embodiment is an 8 k-byte dual port RAM, enables the LAN adapter to communicated with the master computer in an asynchronous manner. Utilizing such a dual port RAM increases the amount of data transfer between the adapter and the master computer by eliminating the need for hardware interrupts. However, only one of the LAN adapter and the master computer may access the dual port RAM at a given time. Controlling which of these devices has access to the dual port RAM is performed by the dual port arbitration circuit 192.\nThe dual port arbitration circuit 132 generates a control signal which indicates when the dual port RAM is activated. This control signal is supplied from the dual port arbitration circuit to the master computer. In response to this control signal, neither the LAN adapter nor the master computer will attempt to access the dual port RAM while the dual port RAM is in use. That is, whichever first accesses the dual port RAM asserts an arbitration/bit flag so as to deny the other access until the bit is reset.\nThe dual port arbitration circuit all. so sets the address range of the dual port RAM. Since in the preferred embodiment the dual port RAM contains 8 k-bytes of memory capacity, the dual port RAM only requires an 8-k address range. However, the master computer is typically adapted to address a memory from within a 24-bit address range and the LAN adapter is adapted to address a memory from within a 16-bit address range. To accommodate this difference in address ranges, an 8-bit memory offset address switch 194 is utilized. That is, this offset address switch shifts the 8-k address range of the dual port RAM within the 24 bit address range of the master computer as required.\nThe LAN I/O circuit 190 is adapted to transmit and receive data to and from the devices connected to the LAN adapter such as a data tap and a SFT. Communications between these devices and the LAN I/O circuit are differentially driven by using, for example, RS-422 and RS-485 interfaces. This LAN I/O circuit operates substantially similar to the previously described LAN I/O circuits 120 and 164 and, as such, will not be further described.\nThe programmable serial I/O circuit 188 is adapted to transform data between serial and parallel format. In a preferred embodiment, the programmable serial I/O circuit contains a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART).\nA LED 191 is coupled to the LAN I/O circuit 190 and is adapted to provide an indication of the current operating status of the LAN adapter. For example, a lit LED indicates that the LAN adapter is being addressed.\nAs shown in FIG. 9, the data, address and control bus 198 enables controlled communications between the microprocessor 180, memory segmentation and selection circuit 182, programmable serial I/O circuit 188 and the dual port arbitration circuit 192. Communication between the programmable serial I/O circuit 188 and the LAN I/O circuit 190 is by way of a bus 199. Likewise, communication between the dual port arbitration circuit 192 and the dual port RAM 196 is by way of a communication bus 197.\nThus, the LAN adapter performs polling of the attached slave units and processes commands received from the master computer for transmission to the respective slave units.\nBy performing the polling function in the LAN adapter, instead of the master computer, the demand on processing cycles is reduced in the master computer. As a result, a master computer having slower processing speed may be utilized, thus reducing the costs. Alternatively, the master computer may use the processing cycles saved in performing additional functions.\nBy utilizing the RS-422 or RS-485 interfaces, data communication over a relatively long path can be accommodated.\nIf only one POS station in a store is needed, without SFT's or data taps, the LAN adapter is not required. However, if additional check-out stations are added and one or more SFTs or data taps is added, the LAN adapter can be installed easily in an expansion slot of the master computer.\nIn some personal computer operating environments, such as those supporting a graphical user's interface (GUI), for example, WINDOWS® from the Microsoft Corp. and OS/2® from the Microsoft or the IBM corporations, screen displays may be controlled on a bit-by-bit basis. In these circumstances, the TEACHER and TRAPPER programs may be modified so as to be used therein. These modified versions may be responsive to ASCII or other standard coding methods. However, the ASCII representations are not typically written directly to the display controller, but would be otherwise communicated within the operating environment in a way that is easily accessible by the TEACHER or TRAPPER.\nAlthough preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail herein, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that many modifications and variations may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.", "char_count": 114469, "token_count": 28617, "k_exact": 3.1719, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.895, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Oooooweeeeeeooooo. Scary, huh? Well, to a poor, unsuspecting, newly-recovered from the flu Ob/Gyn, it is the scariest prospect around. You see, for the first time (and I do mean, the very first time) in 4 years, I was oh-so-fortunate to have an entire 3 weekends off...in a ROW! The audacity! The outrage! Ohhhhh, and the payback. You see, 2 of those weekends were included on my vacation, which was less vacation, and more \"how much activity can you cram into 10 days?\" This was spent in the southerly regions and in Newville, the site of our pending relocation. The third weekend was Easter weekend, by some stroke of luck, I was able to convince OMFH to grant me the holiday off, to visit with Mr. Whoo's family in the Great White North. Easter weekend marked the beginning of the the Whoo Family's dalliance with \"The Flu.\" It started with Bean, quickly moved to me, and took out CindyLou later on in the week. Mr. Whoo is the only one left standing, and he's starting to get that characteristic hacking cough. Surely, I thought in my fever-fogged brain, out of all that glorious time off, some of my patients would deliver in my absence. Much to their delight (and my relative dismay), they did not. Other Doc, throughout the whole of my vacation and time off, did not deliver a single patient of mine.\nInstead, they all waited for me. So this week, between popping Day.Quil, Ny.Quil, and Mot.rin, I have been exceedingly busy. The day that I returned from vacation, I had an induction for post-dates (41 weeks and 6 days). She had received cervical ripening overnight and actually was really contracting well. About 5 minutes after I hit the floor, she SROM'd the thickest meconium fluid I had ever seen, this was followed by a 10 minute trip to the 60s for the fetal heart rate. I checked for a cord, couldn't find one, tried everything possible to get the kiddo to recover, and eventually went down for an emergent cesarean. The baby was out in less than a minute, and needed a little transition time, but ended up doing very well. Not the best way to start the morning. After finishing up the paper work and talking to the family, I saw a familiar patient roll up to the nurse's station...in obvious distress. She was supposed to have a repeat C-section later that week, but, she was in labor today. Back we went to the OR, where I delivered a 9.5 pound baby boy. I finally made it to the office that day around 3 o'clock.\nThe rest of the week continued in a similar fashion. There was a severe IUGR baby, born to a couple that struggled with fertility for a very long time. She was only 37 weeks, but the baby was measuring 32 weeks. We had watched the growth for the last few weeks, and it had steadily plateaued. The patient received only cerv.idil, but quickly labored and delivered a healthy, 5 pound baby girl. The placenta was incredibly calcified and quite small, so I felt confident the correct decision to deliver had been made. Unfortunately, there were a few inductions, one for preeclampsia and one for post dates that ended in late night cesarean sections. Both moms and babies did well, but I hate to have failed inductions. It makes me feel as if I have failed those patients.\nOh, and then the \"weekend\" came. My first weekend back since vacation, and, let's face it, I was already dragging from a busy week and a lingering illness, and OtherDoc had a similarly bad week. There were a million patients to round on, and about half a million circs (my favorite! Not.) I got the first call a little after midnight about patient at term with SROM. I had a little hope, as she did not want an epidural (score 1) and was only 2 cm when she was admitted (score 2!) Between my sick kids and being paged every hour from patients and from labor and delivery, very little rest was had between her admission and the call telling me that she was 8 cm at 4:00am. I arrived at the hospital right as she was beginning to push. Blessedly, it was a very nice, smooth delivery. No tears and a healthy baby. I'm sure my patients didn't appreciate being rounded on at 5 am, but I certainly wasn't coming back later! I did my umpteen circs, rounds, discharges, and spent the rest of the day trying, unsuccessfully to catch up on rest.\nIn the late afternoon, another \"rule out labor\" came in to triage. She had not changed her cervix, but she was post dates, and I decided to keep her for observation. I communicated several times with the nursing staff before I went to bed, and was assured she was \"doing nothing.\" I took a Ny.Quil and was in bed no later than 10:30. Imagine my surprise when I received a page at 3:30 am telling me she was completely dilated. It was an all-too-familiar dash to the hospital in the middle of the night. I arrived, broke the bag of water, and she pushed out a beautiful 8.5 pound boy over an intact perineum. Once again, it was circs at 4:30 am, and rounds at 5 am. I have spent the rest of the day trying to recover. I am just now starting to feel human again. I really can't keep up this pace. I hope that I have done sufficient penance for my time off, and that the pregnant ladies are merciful tonight!", "char_count": 5143, "token_count": 1285, "k_exact": 1.3255, "k_integer": 1, "k_label": "Simple", "ciq_score": 0.669, "is_high_quality": false, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

They know what I've been through. I've been through a lot. It's been great to come back and have an opportunity to play and be with a great group of guys. I'm just ecstatic about that and I enjoy every day.\"\nA three-time Pro Bowl pick in six seasons with Atlanta, Vick has played sparingly with the Eagles. He has two touchdowns rushing and one passing in 12 games.\nThe Ed Block Award honours players who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Each of the 32 NFL teams selects a recipient.\n\"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear,\" Vick said. \"You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't. Probably 95 per cent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.\n\"There's always consequences behind certain things and repercussions behind them, too. And then you have to wake up every day and face the world, whether they perceive you in the right perspective, it's a totally different outlook on you. You have to be strong, believe in yourself, be optimistic. That's what I've been able to do. That's what I display.\"\nThe Eagles were criticized by animal rights activists for signing Vick less than a month after he was released from prison. Dozens of protesters voiced their outrage outside the team's practice facility the day after Vick was signed, and many fans threatened to give up their tickets.\nBut Vick got a warm reception in his first game with the Eagles and by most accounts has been a model citizen off the field.\nThe animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, issued a statement reprimanding the Eagles for giving Vick the award.\n\"The Philadelphia Eagles fumbled when they gave Michael Vick the Ed Block Courage Award, which was named after a man who advocated in behalf of abused children,\" the PETA statement read. \"Michael Vick should not be the person anyone points to as a model of sportsmanship, even though he has now exchanged dogs for touchdowns after serving time for extreme cruelty to animals. We wish him well in educating others, but this is not appropriate and does not mark a joyous moment in NFL history.\"\nVick has spent time working with the Humane Society of the United States, speaking to school and community groups about the mistakes he made in getting involved in dogfighting.\n\"It was a big obstacle proving I'm worthy of a second chance,\" Vick said. \"It doesn't stop here. I have to continue to prove that. I think it's not going to be a day-to-day process, it's going to be a year-in, year-out process. It's a challenge to myself. The thing I told (NFL commissioner) Roger (Goodell) is that four or five years from now, I'm going to come to him and say, 'Everything I told you I was going to do, I'm still doing it.' And that's what I pride myself on and that's my focus and that's my goal.\"\nQuarterback Donovan McNabb called the award \"well-deserved.\"\n\"Congratulations to him for straightening his life around and bettering himself as a human being,\" coach Andy Reid said. \"He's obviously very well-respected by his teammates.\"", "char_count": 3652, "token_count": 913, "k_exact": 1.8715, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7792, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "WEST AMWELL — They call the South Hunterdon vs. New Hope-Solebury High football game “The Battle of the Bridges,” but it took a field goal long enough to clear the Delaware River to finally tilt the outcome in favor of the Pennsylvania contingent yesterday.\nDanny Sutton’s 48-yarder as time expired not only derailed South Hunterdon’s hope for an undefeated home season, 17-14, but put a sad final chapter on a landmark campaign for the Eagles (6-4), who shared the Hills Division title and earned their first NJSIAA Group I Central playoff berth in nine years.\n“A couple of key penalties changed field position,” said Eagles head coach Toby Jefferis, who saw his defense shut down the Lions for most of the second half, only to allow the Lions to move 38 yards over the final 100 seconds to set up Sutton’s epic boot. “We had (quarterback Connor Hayden) sacked with a fourth-and-a-mile, but a (roughing-the-passer) penalty put them in better position. (Another time,) we were driving down the field (in the fourth quarter), but a false start hurt us. Instead of a third-and-short, we had to throw the ball.”\nIn a game that was a classic confrontation, matching South Hunterdon’s power and precision with New Hope-Solebury’s speed and innovation, the Eagles would have only been too happy to run the ball on every down and completed only one pass for 2 yards all day.\nAfter Jason DeVenuto’s 45-yard touchdown reception put the Lions up 7-0 just 2:20 into the game, the Eagles slowed the game down to their ground-and-pound style and appeared to be winning the battle of the trenches.\nAt one juncture, South Hunterdon ran the ball 19 consecutive times and a 14-run, 72-yard drive that not only tied the game at 7-all, but kept the Lions’ defense on the field over seven minutes.\nJake Whitaker’s 52-yard punt return set up Toby Coleman’s 5-yard plunge early in the second quarter, and South Hunterdon appeared in control, up 14-7. But a fumbled exchange four minutes later killed the Eagles’ momentum and continued a disturbing trend.\nThe four of the first five times New Hope-Solebury got the ball at its 45 or beyond, remarkable field position that set up DeVenuto’s second touchdown reception, this from 27 yards, and a 14-all tie at the half.\nIt stayed that way for most of the second half as linebacker Toby Coleman and defensive linemen Kyle Campbell and Daniel Voorhees consistently made sure that Hayden wouldn’t have time to find DeVenuto again.\n“We knew we had to get pressure on him, and we did,” Jefferis said. “He wasn’t able to get as comfortable in the pocket.”\nDespite these adjustments, maybe this was just the Lions’ day.\nOn third-and-10 from his 31 with only 1:27 left in the fourth quarter, Hayden’s pass was tipped and went end over end into Frank Covino’s hands at midfield. Eight plays later, the Lions moved just close enough for Sutton to make a boot for the ages.\nA kicker since fourth-grade Pop Warner and a lacrosse midfielder/defenseman, Sutton has made field goals as long as 55 yards in practice. With no wind behind him, he “knew as soon as he kicked it that he had hit it well.”\nOnly five days after a tough playoff loss to Asbury Park, it was a heartbreaking ending for a South Hunterdon team that earned three shutouts and had two three-game winning streaks.\n“In hindsight, I don’t know if the short week got to us,” said Jefferis, whose JV team played Monday as well. “Without the storm, we would have had a week, 10 days to prepare.

In case of optical instruments or sensors it is a solid angle through which a detector is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.\nHumans and animals\nDifferent animals have different fields of view, depending on the placement of the eyes. Humans have an almost 180-degree forward-facing horizontal field of view, while some birds have a complete or nearly complete 360-degree field of view. The vertical range of the field of view in humans is typically around 135 degrees.\nThe range of visual abilities is not uniform across a field of view, and varies from animal to animal. For example, binocular vision, which is important for depth perception, covers only 114 degrees (horizontally) of the field of vision in humans; the remaining peripheral 60–70 degrees have no binocular vision (because only one eye can see those parts of the field of view). Some birds have a scant 10 or 20 degrees of binocular vision.\nSimilarly, color vision and the ability to perceive shape and motion vary across the field of view; in humans the former is concentrated in the center of the visual field, while the latter tends to be much stronger in the periphery. This is due to the much higher concentration of color-sensitive cone cells in the fovea, the central region of the retina, in comparison to the higher concentration of motion-sensitive rod cells in the periphery. Since cone cells require considerably brighter light sources to be activated, the result of this distribution is that peripheral vision is much stronger at night relative to binocular vision.\nMany optical instruments, particularly binoculars or spotting scopes, are advertised with their field of view specified in one of two ways: angular field of view, and linear field of view. Angular field of view is typically specified in degrees, while linear field of view is a ratio of lengths. For example, binoculars with a 5.8 degree (angular) field of view might be advertised as having a (linear) field of view of 305 ft per 1000 yd or 102 mm per meter. As long as the FOV is less than about 10 degrees or so, the following approximation formulas allow one to convert between linear and angular field of view. Let be the angular field of view in degrees. Let be the linear field of view in feet per 1000 yd. Let be the linear field of view in millimeters per meter. Then, using the small-angle approximation:\nIn machine vision the lens focal length and image sensor size sets up the fixed relationship between the field of view and the working distance. Field of view is the area of the inspection captured on the camera’s imager. The size of the field of view and the size of the camera’s imager directly affect the image resolution (one determining factor in accuracy). Working distance is the distance between the back of the lens and the target object.\nIn remote sensing, the solid angle through which a detector element (a pixel sensor) is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation at any one time, is called instantaneous field of view or IFOV. A measure of the spatial resolution of a remote sensing imaging system, it is often expressed as dimensions of visible ground area, for some known sensor altitude. Single pixel IFOV is closely related to concept of resolved pixel size, ground resolved distance, ground sample distance and modulation transfer function.\nIn astronomy the field of view is usually expressed as an angular area viewed by the instrument, in square degrees, or for higher magnification instruments, in square arc-minutes. For reference the Wide Field Channel on the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope has a field of view of 10 sq. arc-minutes, and the High Resolution Channel of the same instrument has a field of view of 0.15 sq. arc-minutes. Ground based survey telescopes have much wider fields of view. The photographic plates used by the UK Schmidt Telescope had a field of view of 30 sq. degrees. The 1.8 m (71 in) Pan-STARRS telescope, with the most advanced digital camera to date has a field of view of 7 sq. degrees. In the near infra-red WFCAM on UKIRT has a field of view of 0.2 sq. degrees and the forthcoming VISTA telescope will have a field of view of 0.6 sq. degrees. Until recently digital cameras could only cover a small field of view compared to photographic plates, although they beat photographic plates in quantum efficiency, linearity and dynamic range, as well as being much easier to process.\nIn photography, the field of view is that part of the world that is visible through the camera at a particular position and orientation in space; objects outside the FOV when the picture is taken are not recorded in the photograph. It is most often expressed as the angular size of the view cone, as an angle of view. For normal lens, field of view can be calculated FOV = 2 arctan(SensorSize/2f), where f is Focal Length.\n- \"Cascading Milky Way\". ESO Picture of the Week.

-{"text": "The walnut pages on this site include listings of walnut nurseries, growers, sales as well as industry overviews, propagation information, walnut products and a range of other walnut related information.\nOf the 1.5 million tonnes of walnuts produced globally per year, the USA and China are the two major producers. USA (California) is the major exporter and while China is a significant producer. Other countries exporting walnuts include France, Turkey, Chile, Italy, India, Romania, Mexico and Spain. While China is close behind the US in total production, there is a question whether it will remain a net exporter with internal consumption rising to meet total production.\nThe walnut is grown commercially in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales. Smaller orchards are located the Adelaide Hills and Riverland regions of South Australia and in south-west Western Australia.\nAustralian Walnut Industry\nAustralian Walnut Industry Association (AWIA)\nConsultancy Service (Victoria)\nWalnut trees can grow to 25 metres and live up to 200 years. They require a Mediterranean climate but with the inclusion of of a chilling period of 600 - 800 hours below 10°C. Walnut trees don't like frosts mid to late spring (flowering period), nor do they like the temperature to get too hot in summer (I'm a bit the same). The growth of walnut trees may be slowed down if they are located in a windy exposed position.\nThere's an old adage that waluts will grow where apples grow. Traditional soil requirements for walnuts are that it is deep and well drained. A pH greater than 6.0 suits walnuts. More recently walnut trees have been grown commercially in shallow soils that have previously been previously been ripped, hilled and had gypsum and lime added to the soil (Tatura hedgerow system). Nutrients need to be well balanced. It is recommended that a soil analysis and site/variety research be carried out early in the planning stage of developing a walnut orchard.\nTraditionally walnuts were planted on a 16m x 16m grid 940 trees per hectare. Under the \"Tatura' system walnut trees have been grown as close together as 6 metres between rows and 3 metre intervals - again expert advice should be sought. Trees are best planted late winter and early spring. Mulching and weed control are important.\nThe Black Walnut and Butternut walnut are natives of North America. These two varieties have thicker shells than the standard European walnuts. For walnut production, Black Walnut (Juglans niger) seeds or seedlings are often used as the rootstock from which commercial walnut varieties are grafted. J.regia is often used as rootstock for well drained soils while J. niger is sometimes preferred for wetter soils.\nAlthough modern high yielding varieties of walnut trees bear fruit quite early in their lives, it is not until really deemed a harvest until about year 4 - 6. At around year 11 or 12 a walnut tree is in full production.Walnuts are wind pollinated and strategic planting of complimentry varieties will assist with pollination. Wallnuts make wonderful long lived shade trees in a large garden.\nHarvesting and Processing\nHarvesting of walnuts occurs around mid April each year. Timing of the season will be influenced to a degree by the variety grown, location and climatic conditions. Walnuts are usually mechanically shaken from the tree, swept into a windrow and picked up by a harvester. If conditions are damp they need to be picked up on a daily basis.\nWalnuts are then hulled to remove the fleshy shell casing and cleaned and dried as quickly as possible. The moisture level is reduced from around 25% to around 8 - 10%. This usually takes around 2 weeks. For the home garden walnuts can be dried on racks but for commercial purposes a means of assisted drying is required.\nHealth and Nutrition\nWalnuts are very high in Omega 3 and in monounsaturated oils. They are also contain a wide range of minerals and vitamins. See the Walnut Health and Nutrition page for details.\nPhoto right: Wellwood Walnut Oil\nFor a description of a selection of varieties available in Australia see Walnuts ( Harold H.

-{"text": "July 17 (Bloomberg) -- Chancellor Angela Merkel is riding high for her 60th birthday and it’s not just because Germany won the World Cup.\nWith no successor in sight after almost nine years in office, Merkel is the country’s most popular politician and the longest-serving leader among Group of Seven nations. While she doesn’t want to overstay her welcome with German voters after her re-election last year, she’s leaving the door open to a bid for a fourth term in 2017, according to a person familiar with Merkel’s thinking who asked not to be named because the discussions are private.\nAt her public birthday bash in Berlin today, Merkel signaled she isn’t done yet.\n“I’m told I shouldn’t rest on anything,” she told the roughly 1,000 invited guests, including top officials of her governing coalition. “I’ll take that to heart. There’s one thing I’ve noticed about myself: I have, at least so far, incredible curiosity.”\nMerkel’s treat for the soiree was a lecture by a German academic on globalization, a theme she returns to repeatedly in speeches urging Europe to raise its game and become more competitive. Though she never puts it this way, her message is Europe needs to become a little more like Germany.\n“Her approval ratings can’t get any higher,” Manfred Guellner, who heads Forsa, a Berlin polling company, said in an interview. Images of Merkel hugging Germany’s world-champion soccer players after the World Cup final in Brazil are an added bonus that shows “she empathizes with people,��� he said.\nSuch popularity has pitfalls. It’s leading to speculation by politicians and media about whether Merkel will groom a successor and quit while she’s ahead rather than risk going out with an election defeat.\nShe has told aides that she doesn’t want to end up like Helmut Kohl, her political mentor, whom Germans voted out after 16 years as chancellor in 1998 when he was 68, according to two people with direct knowledge of the conversations.\nMerkel turned 60 while attending a meeting of European Union leaders in Brussels, prompting a German reporter to sing “Happy Birthday” at her post-summit news conference early this morning. “I should have joined in, then it would have been better,” Merkel said with a grin. “But thank you.” Her EU peers toasted her with sparkling wine and flowers, she said.\nRejects New York\nKohl urged Merkel to promote “a united Europe” and defend the stability of the euro, according to a letter published in Bild newspaper today. “When you look back today, you can do so in the knowledge that you made use of the opportunities in your eventful life,” he said in the letter.\nFor now, Merkel is quashing any suggestion that she’ll cut her third term short.\nHer government denied a report in a Luxembourg newspaper in May that she wanted to become UN secretary-general when the post opens up in January 2017, about eight months before Germany’s next regularly scheduled national election. Asked again by a German television interviewer on July 12, Merkel said: “That definitely won’t happen.”\nMerkel tops the latest Infratest poll with an approval rating of 71 percent. Her Christian Democratic bloc, which she led to the biggest election victory since 1990 in September, has as much as 41 percent voter support in national polls, with the Social Democrats, her junior coalition partner, at 23 percent to 26 percent.\nWith approval ratings that her European peers can’t match and influence boosted by Germany’s economic power during the debt crisis, Merkel has reasons to keep going. While she’s criticized in Europe and the U.S. for cautious crisis management and enforcing fiscal discipline, those policies are popular at home. So is standing up to the U.S. for allegedly running spies in German government offices.\n“I don’t see anyone who could replace her right now,” Herfried Muenkler, a political scientist at Humboldt University, said in a talk with foreign reporters in Berlin on July 8. “In Europe’s current constellation, Merkel does really well with her unassuming, unheroic leadership style.”\nPossible successors include Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, a Christian Democratic politician’s daughter, and Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, who knows Merkel from her earliest days in politics after the Berlin Wall fell 25 years ago.\nThough both have held cabinet posts in all three Merkel governments since 2005, she hasn’t publicly anointed either -- nor anyone else. About a quarter of Germans would even like Merkel to be in power for another decade, according to a Forsa poll for Stern magazine taken days before the World Cup final.\nA physicist who grew up under Communism in East Germany, Merkel rose through the Christian Democratic Union’s ranks under Kohl after East and West Germany reunited in 1990. She broke with Kohl after his election defeat and became the party’s head in 2000, the springboard to winning the chancellorship on her first try five years later.\nMerkel and pizzazz don’t mix and her birthday was no exception. The chancellor’s gift to herself was a speech at CDU headquarters by Juergen Osterhammel, a University of Koblenz historian. Merkel read his latest book on globalization, “The Transformation of the World,” according to one of her aides.\nMerkel probably has to decide within a year whether she’ll seek another term or hand over the reins, Muenkler said.\n“The pressure by supporters and party members who fear for their political office could get so intense that she couldn’t step aside,” said Guellner, the pollster. “She would have to run again, even if she doesn’t want to.”\nTo contact the reporter on this story: Arne Delfs in Berlin at email@example.com\nTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Alan Crawford at firstname.lastname@example.org Tony Czuczka, James Kraus", "char_count": 5779, "token_count": 1444, "k_exact": 3.0745, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9411, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Ozirion is an experimental Web browser allowing people and groups to improve their privacy on the Internet by hiding their IP address through a network of virtual tunnels. The current release of Ozirion relies on the Tor technology. It includes a built-in Tor server and provides the ability to choose or ban countries in order to use an IP address from a specific country. The Privoxy local proxy is used for better privacy. Ozirion is totally independent from the Tor and Privoxy projects.\nLiberté Linux is a secure, reliable, lightweight, and easy to use Gentoo-based live USB Linux distribution intended as a communication aid in hostile environments. It installs as a regular directory on a USB/SD key, and after a single-click setup, boots on any desktop computer or laptop. The Internet connection is then used to set up a Tor circuit, which handles all network communication. During first boot, a unique email ID is generated from fingerprints of user's certificate and Tor hidden service key. This persistent ID allows one to stealthily communicate with other Liberté users. The distribution includes image and document processing applications, and can function as a secure Web browsing platform. For developers, Liberté can also serve as a robust framework for mastering Gentoo-based live USBs/CDs. The build process is fully automated with incremental build support, and is more mature and reliable than most of Gentoo's own outdated live CD tools.\nPagekite is software to make servers on \"localhost\" visible to the wider Internet. It can be used by Web developers to show off their works in progress to clients or colleagues, embedded developers who need direct access to devices in the field, or as an alternative to dynamic DNS for individuals/hobbyists who would rather host their own content than rely on 3rd party hosting. It creates and maintains a tunnel between your server on localhost and a remote \"front-end\" (a reverse proxy). Only the front-end has to have a visible IP address; the server itself can reside on a heavily firewalled computer, a mobile device, or even an anonymous node on the Tor network.\nTorTV is a build of the Tor Project maintained to run on TV devices and set-top boxes so that anyone with such a household appliance can contribute to strengthen the Tor network. TorTV does not reimplement nor modify the Tor source code in any way; it provides binary builds for embedded targets and scripted bundles to facilitate their installation. So far, it targets WDTV devices running WDLXTV, but aims to grow to support more hardware in future.\ntxtorcon is a Twisted-based asynchronous Tor control protocol implementation. Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python, and Tor is an onion-routing network designed to improve people’s privacy and security on the Internet. It includes unit-tests with 96%+ coverage, multiple examples, and documentation. There are abstractions to track Tor configuration and state (circuits, streams), launch private instances, support Hidden Service, and more.\nDowse eases the configuration of network routing for a local area network, starting from the setup of ARP-level static entries of known peers, IP-level firewall, DHCP configuration, and local DNS cache, up to an application layer transparent proxy and optional gateways to anonymous networks such as Tor and I2P. It consists of a minimalistic script which can run on any GNU/Linux box and which, from a central configuration point, controls Ebtables, Iptables, and all the daemons needed for such operations: DnsMasq, Squid2, and Privoxy. It comes with a module system for contributed add-ons like DNSCrypt-proxy and HTTPS-everywhere.\nChrubix installs the GNU/LInux distro of your choice - ArchLinux, Debian, Fedora, Kali, SuSE, or Ubuntu - onto a removable MultiMediaCard (MMC) on your ARM-based Chromebook.

-{"text": "Pelosi pre-surrenders to Iran\nI always knew the Democrats were out-and-out wimps when it came to foreign policy, but now they have surprised even me. San Fran Nan Pelosi, Squawker of the House of Representatives, told the press yesterday that President Bush lacks the authority to invade Iran. ”I do believe that Congress should assert itself, though, and make it very clear that there is no previous authority for the president, any president, to go into Iran,” she said erroneously.\nLet's break this one down carefully, because we are dealing with two travesties here, not just one. First, Pelosi has no business, constitutional or otherwise, telling the president how to defend our country. He is the commander-in-chief of our military forces, not Congress, and his job is to protect our troops overseas. The Iranians have been behind a number of attacks on our troops in Iraq. We are gathering proof which addresses this, and if the Iranians don't start making nice, then we have every right to defend our forces by any means necessary.\nSecond, with her empty-headed comments meant to impress liberal voters, Pelosi is sending a huge signal to Iran that she and her fellow Democrats will actively work to prevent the United States from holding Iran accountable for terrorism and nuclear weapons proliferation.\nPelosi thinks she's saying, \"We will not let President Bush go to war against Iran without Congressional approval.\" What the Iranians are hearing is, \"Go ahead, boys.

-{"text": "Advertise Lake Vacation Rentals\nWinchester Lake is nestled in the heart of northwestern Connecticut's elegant Litchfield County. At 229 acres, the crystal clear water of the lake offers visitors and residents plenty of opportunity for fishing and boating. Although the forested shoreline is fairly developed with private homes, visitors can gain access to the awaiting water through a public boat launch on the southern shore adjacent to the Winchester Lake dam.\nWinchester Lake is a manmade lake created by a dam on the headwaters of the East Branch Naugatuck River completed in the late 1920s. The lake averages nine feet deep with a maximum depth of 17 feet. Most of the deep water is in the southern end of the lake near the dam. The northern end of the lake is fairly shallow. Rather than cut the trees in the area when the dam was first constructed, engineers allowed the forest to flood and later cut the tree tops during winter ice. Today submerged trees and stumps abound throughout the lake. Although a bit of an obstacle course for boaters, the lake is known for its largemouth bass and northern pike. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection began stocking northern pike into the lake in 2005. Anglers are now reporting pike exceeding the state's 26-inch size limit, with many of these fish reaching 36 inches. The dam is a popular spot for fishing, but anglers should use heavy line to deal with the numerous underwater snags. Note: Although most fish taken from Connecticut lakes and streams are safe to eat, refer to the Connecticut Fish Consumption Advisory (link below) before eating fish caught from any Connecticut waterway.\nWinchester Lake's beautiful setting, varied shoreline and rocky coves make if a favorite destination for boaters and paddlers. An eight MPH limit on motorboats keeps the water calm and peaceful. Due to the abundance of submerged trees, flat bottom boats, canoes and kayaks will have the easiest passage across the lake. For those who would like to spend some time in the area, vacation rentals and private real estate are abundant as well as additional lodging in the nearby city of Winsted.\nCampers will find several private campgrounds near Burr Pond State Park, southeast of Winchester Lake. Camping is also available in the American Legion State Forest located east of Winchester Lake.\nFor additional outdoor recreation, Dennis Hill State Park is located northwest of Winchester Lake. This 240-acre park offers picnic facilities, hiking, and spectacular panoramic views as far away as New Hampshire. The Mad River Reservoir and Rugg Brook Reservoir are located northeast of Highland Lake and offer wildlife viewing and hiking. Southeast of Winchester Lake is Paugnut State Forest and Sunny Brook State Forest. Paugnut State Forest is part of a 2,410 acre, contiguous park and forest complex that includes Burr Pond State Park and Sunny Brook State Park. Popular activities include hiking, mountain biking, hunting and cross country skiing. Burr Pond State Park is a great place to spend a summer afternoon. Burr Pond offers fishing, boating and swimming and the surrounding area is great for hiking.\nEast of Winchester Lake is the American Legion and Peoples State Forests. These two forests offer camping, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, picnic facilities, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling trails. The West Branch of the Farmington River, designated as a Wild and Scenic River by the National Park Service, is the focal point of the heavily forested land and offers river-based recreational activities including trout fishing, canoeing, kayaking and tubing. East of Winchester Lake is Crystal Lake, a primary source of drinking water for the town of Winchester. The 145-acre sparking lake is also known for its boating and excellent trout fishing. Highland Lake, located just a few miles east of Crystal Lake is a 444-acre sparkling lake known for its bass, salmon and trout.\nThe city of Winsted, located within the town Winchester, lies east of Winchester Lake. The town is noted for its stately Victorian, Greek Revival, Neo-Classical, Ecclesiastical, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes. The Main Street area is lined with unique shops and restaurants. For children there is a skateboard park, a huge Playscape park, ball fields, and miniature golf with batting cages and go carts. Golfers will find a several golf courses in the area. Winsted also provides the area with complete shopping facilities\nLess than a half hour south is the City of Torrington, the largest city in Litchfield County. Visitors to Winchester Lake will find Torrington to be a mix of retail and tourist attractions. The downtown area is as a thriving cultural center, boasting the Warner Theatre and the renowned Nutmeg Conservatory. Antique dealers, art galleries, art deco architecture and small specialty shops make the area appealing for residents and tourists alike. There are also a number of city parks and hiking trails that allow visitors to truly enjoy the beauty of the area.\nNo matter what your reason for visiting Winchester Lake, you are sure to be treated to scenic views and beautiful inviting water.

-{"text": "OPINION / FIKRAD : Successful recovery from two decades of conflict and social strife is not an easy task.Somalia’s civil war has caused much physical destruction and human suffering both of which can be overcome irrespective of the magnitude. Unfortunately, the Long term casualties are the loss of trust between communities (social enmity), the loss of national vision and the erosion of moral values. These are specifically the ones that require a comprehensive planning process which includes all the tools of social rehabilitation and reconciliation twinned with extensive social education programs.\nThe long term effects can also be extenuated by the quality of governance and public administration which represent the catalysts to overcoming conflicts and sustaining the recovery process. Their proper reconstitution is central to overcoming the conflict as they underpin all other recovery programs and if insufficiently attended to will cause the underperformance of all other efforts including those of reconciliation of the society.\nBecause of the compelling evidence from so many examples in our country that a corrupt government and administration only add fuel to an already burning fire of moral decadence and corruption, our cherished desire to install a quality government that brings back sovereignty is exceedingly becoming hopeless. The tug of war between outside forces and the long term casualties of the civil war require that the administrative branches of the government be anchored by individuals with strong leadership and courage to restore moral values and national vision. At the end of the day, the quality of government is the president’s responsibility. The qualities required of the president, as the leader of such government, deserves special scrutiny.\n“In a caravan, the lead camel sets the pace and quality of the journey”.\nProbably the most important aspect of the transition inSomaliais the qualities of the lead “camel” – the president that is. To end two decades of civil war, almost everyone has an expectation of what kind of a person our homeland needs as president. The desirable qualities and character must fit the difficult journey ahead of the nation.\nCompetence, which includes knowledge, efficiency and effectiveness, will rank high in the list of perquisites. The future president must be someone of great character and, as dictated by the testing times, this particular trait may in the long run be more important then all other characters. The future president will also posses modesty, and courage in abundance. Arrogance and the lack of capacity or willingness to listen to others are diagonally opposed to the social traits of an egalitarian society like ours. More than two decades of trial and tribulations makes the people desirous for a leader that empathizes with their inner sentiments and feelings, someone that listens to their wants and wishes.\nAny president must realize that tribalism, the most hated thing inSomaliais at the same time the most trusted and used tool simply because it is the one and only thing that that society can comprehend. It might be effective to exploit it for the benefit of peace-making and reconciliation without succumbing to its demands and becoming hostage to its sinister machinations. Nor should the president use tribalism and its dogmas to run the institutions of the country. In order to end the transition, the country needs a doer not a dreamer; a president capable of uniting the divergent opinions and ideas; a president who can create something that the people can rally around – an object of cohesion. But above all, the president must not be someone who doused his hands with the blood of the Somali people.\nThe future president must be morally and technically a good leader, meaning that he must be above par as far as morality is concerned with equally strong technical competency. He ought to be a person with the right balance of ethics and effectiveness. A president who can, rightly or wrongly, be criticized for decisions made in the course of fulfilling his responsibility; a president that recognizes the cultural transition taking place in the Somali society. We need a president that does not succumb to the biblical Bethsheba Syndrome, the reason being that a morally weak president will surely abuse power in ways unimaginable. Weak morality has been known to bring down powerful individuals and presidents.\nThe president is a team leader and so must understand that, although the final decisions might be in his hand, the ideas of the rest of the team forms the basis of presidential decisions. He must learn to rely on people to fulfill the mandate of his regime.\nAs part and parcel of the leadership, the cabinet must share the qualities of the president. They must also have knowledge of their specific portfolios for which they must possess full powers to plan and implement with proper oversight by the prime minister and the president. Though charged with the responsibility of their portfolios, they must, together, be aware of the interconnectedness of all government departments. Although they may be selected on the basis of the abject and ineluctable 4.5, they should be fully aware of the breadth and depth of the sacred national obligations on their shoulders.\nInstitutions and Standards\n“Progress is nothing but institutions aiming for higher and higher standards”\nAfter all is said and done, the caliber of institutions determines the success or failure of a nation. As the engine that drives the nation, a great deal of attention must be afforded to the reasons for establishing an institution – the laws governing its inner processes and procedures, the quality of staff charged with the responsibility of implementing its mandate and how such mandate is related to the rest of the national institutions.\nInstitutions represent the lifeline of the nation. They are the medium through which the government accomplishes its services to the citizens and the grand vision of the nation, protect the citizens and build the nation. Every sphere of the government has an institution responsible for its function.\nInstitutions aiming for higher standards bring about change in a society. They become pioneers, not only of innovation, technology but also of social well being and development. Nation building is basically institution-building. The requisite for a successful institution-building involves around the provision of concrete plans for each institution that includes a progressive yearly growth. Stagnancy is not an option.\nInstitutions invigorate change and transformation. A transformation, in this case, entails a complete overhaul of how it does its service, a change in the quality of its service. The institution of education is one of them. Without panoptic changes to the way we educate our future leaders, we will constantly fall very short of our potential. The future education system must be based on the experience of our people; how and why we came to be at the bottom of the human hierarchy and the lessons learned. The basic tenets of our future education system must first be local with an international component. Unless we know who we are, and our particular idiosyncrasies and nagging problems, learning about the ways of others will not help us solve our problems. Our institution of education and the learning that it imparts must be grounded on our values – the Somali values. Furthermore, it must encourage students in problem solving, questioning and developing a thoughtful reflection where the teacher is the guide and a partner in forming the foundations of ideas, ideologies and solutions that will become the core of who we are as a nation and not as tribes.\nThe present private and community institutions, especially higher education, can confer nominal degrees but cannot bring about the desired change. Most of these new institutions, fromAmoudUniversity, which was the first, to the last one announced a few months ago, are the monopoly of cynic individuals who do not have the goodwill of the society at heart. They often confound the public with trivialities without following any of the proper rigorous of higher education. Very few are run by individuals with some conscience and accountability. Most, especially the likes of Amoud, have neither academic nor financial accountability. They have become a bottleneck of problems and regression rather than the transformative universities that we require.\nThe future transformation of education must also include how our faith is taught, who can teach it and who can preach it. Without this component, our future social transformation will be dominated by cult controversies and fringe organizations who pry on the unsuspecting society. As is common today and for the past twelve centuries, the study of Islam was largely limited to study circles at mosques. This system became vulnerable to the proliferation of alien ideas and the birth of sects, mostly with political orientations, spearheaded by an inordinately large numbers of unqualified proponents with meritless religious titles.\nA mosque study circle is informal learning. There is no curriculum or analytically progressive and interconnected study involved. The students are not tested on what they have learned and there is no sanctioned legal authority that can testify to the veracity of the teachings or to the knowledge of the graduates. Let us suppose that I have learned and memorize a thousand books on medicine; can I become a medical doctor? Can I lecture at a university? Can I open a practice and prescribe medications? Does the fact that I have memorized a thousand books and I am able to regurgitate the content say anything about my capacity to understand, to reason, or about my intellectual depth or ability to relate one book to the other, one idea to the next and so on? Think about it, Islam is much more profound, deeper and wider than medicine. Why is it, then, that we trust our faith and our national and individual destiny to unqualified “imams”?\n“No nation is sovereign unless it can pay it bills”\nTo improve the economy, the future Somali government has to reverse the economic policies of the pre-civil war era and adopt an open market policy whereby the private sector is the driving force of the nation’s economy. Barring from attention external factors which contribute to economic development, our future government’s policies will have profound effects on economic growth. A country like ours, transitioning to peace, will need to maintain a constant economic growth for many, many years before it can reverse the trend of poverty. With the private sector taking a leadership role and government institutions providing incentives for work, investment in technology and physical and human capital, we may have a chance to emerge out of poverty and human suffering.\nAside from regional and international markets, another factor that helps economic growth is the impact of cultural outlook. A society that consumes more imports, especially food products ends up discouraging its own farmers. Moreover such society becomes victims to foreign market fluctuations, unless their government cushions (subsidies) the wild price variations, in which case, local inflation becomes a real risk. Because Somalis consume rice, pasta and other imports as stable diets, we feel the pressure of price fluctuations more than other nations whose stable diets are locally produced. The government must develop programs that subtly influence the consumption habits and attitudes utilizing a combination of social education and incentives to encourage trust in local products and taxes.\nSocial development, reconciliation and rehabilitation\n“On those stepping into rivers staying the same other and other waters flow”- Heraclitus, Greek philosopher\nThe Greek philosopher is using the metaphor of a river to talk of change. The terrain over which the water flows the same but the water is not the same. That constantly changing water in a fixed terrain is the river. Like a river a society is constantly changing. The ideas of change are the water and the society itself is the terrain. Change can be good or bad. This is where the government comes in. Social change can be affected through a slow, gradual and planned process such as education or by sudden and often harsh process such as civil wars. Harsh social changes, although capable of good change, do not bring about permanent social stability (or at least it takes a long time). The current developments inSomalia, though still in the embryonic stage, can be nudged towards stability to give society a chance to avail itself of two decades of social strife. In order to deepen the roots of stability, it must be intentionally planned. One of the ways to do that is through education – both formal and social education.\nA number of factors associated with social development have to be proliferated in order to gain a change in the way of life. Among the most important of this are human dignity and social justice. There is nothing worse than being undignified and unjustly treated in your own country at the hands of your own authorities. This and this alone, has been one of the root causes ofSomalia’s civil war.\nCommunities demand equity in the delivery of services. It is common for African nations to pour proportionally higher amount of resources into the capital region and, thus, create a one-city-state. The future policy makers, meeting the challenge of a more efficient and strategic allocation of public resources, must invest in all regions of the country.\nThe Tribal States\nDuring the run of the TFG, we witnessed a drastic increase in the formation of “Tribal states”. Galmudug State, Mareeg State, Ceelbuur State, Ximin & Xeeb, Azania, Jubbaland, Maakhir State, Awdal State, Bay State, Khatumo State, Banaadir State, Somaliland, Puntland, Western Puntland and Udubland are examples. Are there any reasons behind the formation of the tribal states?\nIn a tribal society, when the viability of the national government is precariously unstable and its ability to govern and enforce compliance to laws are severely jeopardised she tries to accommodate tribes in varying degrees. States likeSomalilandand Puntland have formed out of the political astuteness of the two dominant tribes who realized the rush way before anyone else.\nThe TFG gave the nod to a number of these tribal states and, in turn, others formed because other tribes were weary of being left out of the political process and thus a piece of the pie. A closer scrutiny reveals that the overwhelming majority of these states are monopolized by one tribe despite the undeniable fact that there is no region inSomaliawhich is exclusively settled by a single tribe. Sadly, the tribe exercising the monopoly of the politics of the tribal state is one that also has had a heavy hand in the prolongation of the Somali civil war.\nThe only exception is Udubland, a region, overlapping parts ofAzania, with a diverse array of tribes all of whom have borne the brunt of the civil war and still continue to suffer under the merciless foot of Alshabab. Udubland is the breadbasket of the county which onto itself is reason enough for alien (non-indigenous to the region) tribes to scramble for its subjugation. As a result, Udubland has been formed to leverage political muscle from the national and international bodies to highlight the suffering of the peaceful agrarian peoples of these regions.\nFor a while, the TFG and the tribal states existed in symbiosis to defeat Alshabab but that relationship is waning as the power of Alshabab waned. Lately, the TFG has been hinting that she will not recognize any of these multitudes of states.\nThe politics of the tribal states involves bothEthiopiaandKenya, with the later devising to create a buffer zone between her and Alshabab yet unable or unwilling to choose sides between the armed Raaskamboni and the proponents ofAzania.Ethiopia, though, is apprehensive of Raaskamboni taking over the area and exporting the armed struggle toEthiopia. In the Central regions, the unabating struggle between Galmudug, Mareeg, Ximin & Heeb and the religious organization, Ahl-Sunna – a splinter of the same tribes in the area and dominated by the same tribe that dominates Galmudug, created a zone ripe for Ethiopian meddling and armed infiltration. Discounting for Ethiopian incursions and influence, the shear friction between a religious and secular political organization will tear the region apart.\nTransformation of tribe into a state has severe consequences for other tribes within the confines of the tribal state boundaries who have not declared their own state within the state. As usurpation of power by one tribe usually ends up in escalation of hostilities because of the inherent unfairness in inter-tribal politics where the tribe holding the monopoly also holds monopoly of state power and resources, the result is a disastrous cycle of social chaos. In a tribal society, there is always an element of tribe in the national state and an element of state in the tribe. How many times have we heard “dawladayada – our government” or “annagaa dalka ka talina – we rule the country”. ‘We’ means the tribal “we”. The situation precipitously goes downhill when the powers of tribal monopoly are certified by the national government, a neighbouring country or even the UN.\nIt will be the unfortunate job of the future government and its president to navigate these infested waters of tribal political rivalry and pertinacious foreign manipulations traveling on the backs Somali marauders who believe that politics is the best profession for seeking undeserved power, fame and control of the gateway to material satisfaction by squandering public resources. The role of tribes and their leaders as actors and influencers of the policies of the state will have profound ripple effects on the administration of the futureSomalia.\nThe tribal state discussion will not be complete without touching on the role of Somaliland and Puntland, the first two tribal states, on the future ofSomalia. Even though they share all the traits of tribal statehood, Somaliland seems to be keen on secession whereas Puntland has always called itself ‘an autonomous state ofSomalia’ despite her relentless search to gain unconventional power and political concessions at the expense of the rest of the country. With the Siiraanyo regime in power,Somalilandhas been sending mixed signals on the unity issue that give some credence to the theory that secession was a bargaining chip. Both states are plagued by dissention from other tribes who are in the boundary of their respective territorial claims. There is also a land dispute between them withSomalilandholding on to the colonial boundary, an issue integral to recognition as perceived by Somalilanders, and Puntland claiming tribal blood lines to the disputed area. IfSomalilandcomes back to the fold of unity, their land dispute will automatically become a mute point, however, if she persists in her current course, the stability of that part of the country is in real peril.\nThe essence of sovereignty is the ability to guarantee security\nThere is no doubt that AMISOM was crucial in the war against Alshabab and creating enclaves of peace in and around the capital city. With its help, the poorly armed, underpaid Somali forces continue to expand the area under the influence of the TFG.\nNotwithstanding there positive contribution and sacrifices, AMISOM’s presence inSomaliais imbued with controversy. In the eyes of a large number of Somalis, they represent an occupying army that gives Meles, Museveni and Mahiga the clout to lord over the Somalis and their affairs, political, social or economical. A corollary branching off from this thought is that AMISOM is a project perpetrated at the expense of the Somali people. It is argued that the money paid by the international donor community (of which only a fraction reaches the soldiers at the front lines, the rest being channeled into the coffers of their countries) could have been better spent by building a Somalia National Army. There are no plans, unfortunately, on the part of the international community, represented by a galaxy of organizations to build or even improve the quality of the ragtag Somali Army.\nIn addition, a few operations on key towns, that came about on the eve of some international events onSomaliagive more and more credence to a “ProjectSomalia”. Baidoa and Hudur were liberated on the eve of the London Conference. Beledwayne was liberated on the eve of the Istanbul Conference. These so-called liberated cities gave unexpected momentum to the events they coincided (or made to coincide with) but once the euphoria died down, the liberation did not bring any fruitful development of sorts. And yet, other African nations keep joining AMISOM so that they also receive a pie of the loot that isSomalia. The latest isKenya.\nKenya’s incursion intoSomaliatakes two steps forwards and two back. It has not produced any tangible military gains apart from the liberation of Afmadow, coincidentally also on the eve of the Istanbul Conference.Kenyais being pulled apart by Raskamboni militia and the so-calledAzaniamanagement who both lobby for control of the area.\nThe heaviest acrimony towards the AU peacekeepers has gained momentum for the three years from 2007 to 2010. During this period, the rise in civilian casualties as a result of AMISOM’s harum-scarum bombardment of heavily populated civilian areas, especially markets, catalyzed negative sentiments towards the peace keepers. Their indifference was highlighted by one of the famous remarks claiming that they had “No choice but to respond to the mortar attacks from Alshabab who are hiding behind civilians”. One would expect AMISOM, an intertional organization, to have higher moral standards than Alshabab, the militia, but when Alshabab fires mortars from inside markets and AMISOM happily and indiscriminately strikes back at the same market knowing that it is a civilian centre of commerce, any claim of higher moral standards by AMISOM simply fades into thin air. For three long years, AMISOM and Alshabab exchanged indiscriminate attacks on civilians andMogadishubled unforgivably and unforgettably.\nOnce the country is in their hands, the future government will deal with AMISOM quickly, decisively and wisely. The AU troops have helped the nation yet, in order to solidify our own sovereignty they must return home to their own countries. Their continued presence reflects a a diminished authority of the national government itself. On the other hand, their role in the death of thousands who died in their hands as a result of care-free bombardments will remain in the social memory forever and can and will surface from time to time.\nThese are all issues that the future government has to sort out. The tight lines that she is going to walk, the compromises required on her part, the opposing ideologies and interests it has to balance and, provided that it is a government loyal to the Somali cause, the hard choices it has to make are the reasons that compel us to require a government lead by people of outstanding character.\nNur Bahal | Toronto,ON | Canada | email@example.com\n____________________________________________________________Share on Facebook", "char_count": 23423, "token_count": 5855, "k_exact": 3.2152, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9101, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "This is wannabe-princesses’ dream: a golden store packed with vintage sundresses, ball gowns, day dresses, wedding gowns, cocktail dresses and every other kind of dress that exists, in every color and from every era from the ‘40s on to the ‘80s. But this store’s asset is not only its vast fund of dresses—bought 15 years ago in the US and still not ebbed away—it’s about the surroundings. The staff is incredibly patient and helpful, the dresses are cleaned (no rotten cotton smell!), fixed and ironed, and the in-house tailor will fit everything to your wishes. The interior supports the staged feeling, making it possible to turn into a ‘50s housewife, a ‘70s hippie or a ‘40s glamour lady.\nOranienburger Straße 32\n+49 30 28096500\nAs a kid she used to like playing optician with her sister, but it wasn’t until just four years ago that the idea of a vintage glasses store became a reality for Uta Geyer. After finishing her studies, Geyer started buying stock from optician clearance sales and vintage furnishing from the 1950’s and opened her tiny shop in the middle of Prenzlauer Berg. This cute gem sells tons of unworn (!) glasses and sunglasses variations for around 100€, as well as vintage cases. Everything is sold by patient women who give professional and personal advice. Since finding the ideal glasses for your face—Geyer says there are the perfect glasses for every face—is not done in five minutes, you should allow youself some time to peruse the stock. Up next is a bigger store on Torstraße, where reprises of old models by traditional companies like Oliver Goldsmith (remember the legendary sunglasses worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s?) will be sold.\nMarienburger Straße 11 10405 Berlin\n+49 30 43739465\n+49 30 2021 5216\nMommsenstraße is second hand paradise for anyone interested in designer labels and vintage fur. We chose Madonna because her selection is always up to date and diverse. The messy interior may not suggest past seasons of Chloé or Matthew Williamson dresses and for a third of the prime cost with dresses from 200€, but just keep digging in between the packed racks and shelves, you’ll find something.\n+49 30 3247632\nTreptow might not have been your first choice for a vintage hunting up until now, but this will surely change when you learn that just off the Landwehrkanal, Schwarze Truhe offers a chest full of carefully selected vintage fashion for men and women. Starting as an online shop for gothic clothing, the manager has turned her focus onto exquisite ball gowns and garments from the 1920’s through the 1980’s (dresses ca. 30€!), presenting her finds in a rather small but nice shop. Her patient and detailed advice is outstanding—if you’re searching for a green cocktail dress, she will go through the racks until she’s found something just right. Though her most breathtaking treasures, like black, floor length silk gowns with expensive pleating from the ‘20s, are kept in the back of the store and are preserved for film, theater and photo shootings, you won’t be disappointed by the diversified choice in this small store, which is certainly worth the trip.\n+49 30 53212305\nVintage stores do not need to be messy and smelly rummage stores in retro colors: Garments in Prenzlauer Berg offers selected second hand pieces in a neat and sleek, but warm and open atmosphere. In front of walls painted in a discreet grey hangs a selected choice of clothing by Miu Miu, Wunderkind and Chloé (dresses ca. 120€), as well as a remarkable assortment of jewelry, like exquisitely crafted sequined bags, delicate brooches (ca. 8 €) and statement necklaces. Everything offered is rarely worn, as most of the collection comes from theater and film costume stores and is still offered at a mid price range with dresses starting around 30 euro.\nStargarder Straße 12\n+49 30 74779919\nJust around the corner from Berlin’s finest avant-garde fashion store, Apartment, Cash offers not only the boutique’s sale items, but also a choice of up-to-date second hand items by designers like Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and Undercover, all sold on commission. The tiny store is packed with funky bomber jackets, leather coats, vintage sheer dresses, shoes, accessories, jewelry of every sort and fashionistas.\nRosa-Luxemburg Straße 11\nIf you sell on commission, it all depends on the suppliers: this basement store is in the perfect Mitte location in which to grab all the garments the creative class shops, wears and then abandons.

-{"text": "High school basketball practices began Monday in Oregon, and here are five questions heading into the start of the season:\n- Who figures among the state's top-tier players?\nIn boys, it starts with Jesuit senior Kyle Wiltjer, a 6-foot-9 forward who has signed with Kentucky. Wiltjer is rated as the country's No. 16 recruit for the class of 2011 by ESPN.com, No. 21 by Scout.com. The state's top junior is at Horizon Christian in Tualatin: Jordan Tebbutt, a 6-5 small forward rated No. 21 for the class of 2012 by ESPN.com.\nOther senior boys who have signed or orally committed include Westview's Austin Kuemper (Oregon), Central Catholic's David Carr (Portland) and Kidus Ephrem (Portland State), Jesuit's Jordan Akwenuke (Portland) and Benson's Andrew Andrews (Washington).\nOthers boys to watch include Central Catholic guard Will Bond, Woodburn post player Andy Avgi and Sunset guard Dominique Ditlefsen.\nIn girls, veterans and newcomers are among the state's elite.\nAmong the top seniors are Clackamas post player Jen Reese, Jesuit forward Elizabeth Brenner, Franklin guard Jude Schimmel and Tualatin forward Emily Ben-Jumbo. Reese has signed at Colorado, Ben-Jumbo at Loyola Marymount and the multitalented Brenner signed for volleyball at Oregon.\nAnother upperclassman to watch is West Albany junior forward Samantha Siegner.\nThe sophomore class has two who could shortly appear on the national radar in Jefferson forward Jordan Reynolds and Central Catholic post player Kailee Johnson.\nThis year's freshman class has three impact players in Jaime Nared of Westview, Leslie Robinson of Corvallis and Lexi Bando of Willamette. Robinson is the daughter of Oregon State men's coach Craig Robinson, and Nared is rated as one of the country's top freshmen.\n- Is there a challenger for Class 6A boys champion Jesuit?\nPosed this question, Westview coach Pat Coons recoiled.\n\"You mean, Jesuit AND Westview?\" Coons said. The Wildcats have a counter to Wiltjer in Kuemper, and they handed Jesuit its lone in-state defeat last season. The Crusaders are a preseason No. 17 in ESPN Rise's national rankings.\nSchools that could challenge the two Metro League powers are Central Catholic, with its threesome of Bond, Ephrem and Carr; Barlow and perhaps Lake Oswego.\n- With use of play-in games, could one league dominate the playoffs?\nThe Metro League in boys and girls and Portland Interscholastic League should benefit with more potential entries into the postseason. Last season, the Metro boys were an overtime loss from advancing all four of its state playoff teams to the eight-team 6A tournament. Coons points to Aloha, last in the Metro the past three years, as a team that could benefit.\n\"Aloha seems like they're 7-0, 7-1 every year in nonleague games, but in the Metro, they struggle,\" Coons said. \"I think the new playoff system is going to be a huge thing for the Metro League.\"\nJefferson boys coach Pat Strickland sees the PIL capitalizing on having each of its schools getting a playoff shot.\n\"Our league is going to be pretty good, and if you have one of the better leagues, you're going to benefit,\" he said.\n- How much does Metro League girls change with a flood of new coaches?\nNo 6A league had as much offseason turnover among coaches as the Metro, including its signature program, Southridge. Coaching the Skyhawks this season is Dave Immel, who succeeds Michael Meek, winner of five state titles while guiding the Southridge program.\nMike McNeal, interim coach at Jesuit last season, takes over at Sunset, while Jesuit is coached by Jason Lowery, former men's coach at Pacific University.\nAnother newcomer is Westview's Edniesha Curry, a veteran AAU coach who played in the WNBA and Europe. Aloha has a new coach in Poeko Waiwaiole, formerly of Forest Grove.\nBeaverton is the only Metro school with a returning girls coach in Jay Ego.\n- How will Portland powers Franklin and Jefferson fare without their high-profile stars?\nJefferson, the three-time Class 5A boys champion, lost an immensely talented senior class that had as many as seven college prospects, including two-time Oregonian Class 5A player of the year Terrence Jones.\nStrickland acknowledges his team won't be as dominant as in recent years, but said, \"I still think we're going to have enough in the cupboard. ... We definitely should be one of the top 5A teams in the state.\"\nJefferson's top players include 6-8 Noa Aluesi and guard Andrew Rountree.\nFranklin's girls move to Class 5A from Class 6A, where the Quakers won PIL titles the past two years. Franklin now has to contend with Jefferson and a roster that no longer includes Sam McCloud or Shoni Schimmel, last year's Oregonian 6A player of the year. Senior guard Jude Schimmel returns as Franklin's top player.\n-- Nick Daschel", "char_count": 4762, "token_count": 1190, "k_exact": 2.335, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8355, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "My family has planned a cruise vacation in February. While I'm excited to visit the Caribbean, I'm unsure about the impact on the environment. How bad is a cruise's carbon footprint?\n- Emmy Silverthorne\nI wish I had better news but cruises are on the heavy side of the carbon emissions scale. Don't get me wrong, we all deserve vacations to exotic places during our mountain winters. When choosing your vehicle of transportation to paradise, consider your carbon footprint.\nNina Rastogi, from The Green Lantern, determined carbon emissions for a seven-day Carnival cruise from Miami, via the Cayman Islands, Honduras, Belize and Mexico, to Florida (a whopping 1,826.5 miles) is equivalent to a personal emission of 2,137 pounds of CO2 (roughly a ton). A round-trip flight on a jet from Miami to Grand Cayman would emit around 340 pounds of CO2. Big difference!\nRastogi points out that a cruise ship provides more than a seat on an airplane - there's also accommodation and entertainment (which leads to a host of additional waste and environmental impacts). Not to mention the flight or drive to the destination of the cruise. That's two strikes on your carbon footprint. Ouch!\nIn between ports, cruise ships serve as a floating hotel and party boat. All that partying and all-you-can-eat buffets leads to more waste. Friends of the Earth found that a 3,000-passenger cruise ship (the average) produced about 210,000 gallons of human sewage, eight tons of garbage and more than 130 gallons of toxic waste on a one-week voyage. I know we like to let loose on vacation but can't we be responsible travelers at the same time?\nIf you remember, only a year ago, the Costa Concordia was grounded off the island of Giglio, along the Tuscan coast. With 2,380 tons of onboard fuel reserves, the damages to the environment and the popular tourist destination could have been catastrophic. As a silver lining, the incident did bring international focus on the operations of cruise lines everywhere. Especially, their impact on our planet.\nInternationally, big-ship vacations have increased in popularity with nearly 20 million passengers cruising in 2012. Even though cruises allow people to see a variety of destinations all on one trip, Responsible Vacations found cruises bring limited economic benefit to local communities and small businesses.\nThe Daily Green reported that a cruise ship generates more air pollution than 12,000 cars in a single day. A frightening statistic when you consider that prior to 2012's new international fuel standards, most cruise lines burned a cheap grade, \"dirty\" fuel. Critics argue that most cruise lines get away with doing the bare minimum, squeezing through loopholes.\nThere are cruise lines that have made some environmental strides like the Cunard Line, which has improved the coating on the hull to reduce air emissions. Holland America purchases electricity when stationed at port, as opposed to burning more fuel. The Norwegian Cruise Line offloads used cooking oil in Hawaii for recycling into bio-diesel. At the Port of Miami, the line has donated approximately 1,300 gallons of cooking oil to an organic farmer. The farmer has converted the oil into 870 gallons of bio-diesel to power farming equipment. Celebrity Cruises has installed solar panels to power the ship's elevators and LED lights, saving up to 50 percent on energy demands.\nThen there's the whale-size impact of wastewater from the ginormous ships. There are three basic types of wastewater on cruise ships. Bilge water is oily, engine run-off and condensation that collects in the bilge of the ship and is eventually pumped out. Grey water comes from onboard showers and sinks. Last is the dreaded black water, which comes from the toilets and drains of the infirmary.\nIn addition to sewage, it is estimated that an average cruise ship generates 1 million gallons of gray water and 25,000 gallons of oily bilge water. Most, if not all, cruise lines now employ onboard wastewater purifying systems. However, they must use mechanical, chemical and biological measures to allow the \"clean\" byproduct to be discharged at sea.\nIf you do choose a cruise, remember it is not solely the company's responsibility to ensure sustainability. Each of us, whether at home or on vacation, has to do our part to decrease our carbon footprint.\nOnboard, be sure to turn off the lights when not in your cabin; don't let your eyes become bigger than your belly while grazing through the massive buffets; and take public transit or walk when at port. Also, the elevators and mechanical doors should be for folks with limited mobility. In addition to saving energy and fuel, using your legs is a great way to avoid the 10-pound souvenir around your waistline.

-{"text": "Twenty Eleven is the default theme for WordPress in 2011. There are tons of really cool improvements and features packed into it — more Post Formats, beautiful new header images, alternate color schemes and layouts, even custom link colors. All those features add up to the best part of Twenty Eleven: just how customizable it is. It looks great as a blog, a showcase of all your posts, and even a tumblelog or photolog.\nTwenty Eleven features seven Post Formats that help the look of your blog posts better match what you’re publishing. Alongside the Standard Format (for traditional blog posts and longer articles) are six additional Formats; Aside, Link, Gallery, Status, Quote, Video, and Image.\nThe Aside Format is for shorter posts of about 1 paragraph. Because they’re shorter and meant to be digested quickly the title of the Aside post is hidden on Index pages.\nThe Link Format looks a lot like the Aside post but if you’re using the Twenty Eleven Ephemera Widget to display a list of your recent Aside and Link posts (found in Appearance → Widgets) the title of your Link posts will point to the URL of the first link in your post instead of pointing back to the post on your blog.\nThe Gallery Format is meant for posts using the Gallery shortcode. Gallery posts will show a thumbnail from your galleries on Index pages.\nThe Status Format is for short personal updates. Each Status post will show the avatar of the post author alongside the content.\nIf you have a post that’s almost entirely a quote, the Quote Format will make those quotes stand out.\nThe Video Format is meant for posting a single video, which will appear with minimal post meta above the post to help your video content shine.\nThe Image Format is meant for posting one image and one image only. Here the post meta, seen below your post, is presented more like a caption for the post.\nLight or Dark Color Schemes\nWith only one click Twenty Eleven will allow you to change your blog’s color scheme from light to dark. You can find the color scheme options in Appearance → Theme Options.\nCustom Link Colors\nFrom Appearance → Theme Options you can also change your blog’s link color to better suit your current color scheme and style.\nThe Twenty Eleven theme features three default layouts for your blog. Two of those layouts feature a typical sidebar, either on the left or right of your content. The third layout does away with the sidebar altogether turning Twenty Eleven into a tumblelog theme. It’s perfect for turning your blog into a photolog.\nIn addition to the default layouts Twenty Eleven also features 2 custom page templates. Either one will take a normal WordPress page and transform the layout. The Sidebar page template is the simpler of the two. It simply adds a sidebar to your page. The Showcase page has more features.\nTo get started with the custom Showcase Page Template you need to create a page for it. Choose the Showcase Template under page templates in any page, save it, and assign it as the front page in Settings → Reading. This will change your site from the standard Twenty Eleven blog look to Twenty Eleven’s fancy showcase. You still have you regular blog list at hand for several views, like categories, searches, and tags and you can specify another page to work as your blog if you want to.\nTo add posts to the Featured Post section, also known as a post slider, just mark some posts as sticky. That’s all there is to it.\nTo have a big featured image you need to use an image that is at least as big as the header image (1000px x 288px). Also, make sure you have a set size for Large image under Settings → Media that allows for such sizes.\nTo populate the sidebars Ephemera Widget you can make use of the Aside or Link post formats when you create a new entry (or convert an old one).\nAnd if you want an introductory text message, just write it in the content of your Showcase page and it will appear on your site. And that’s it!\nThere’s one more layout feature. The Twenty Eleven layout responds and adapts to your browser window. If your visitors are on a mobile device, Twenty Eleven will respond with a custom mobile layout. You can give this feature a go right now just by resizing your browser window on the Twenty Eleven demo site.\nYou can also dress up your posts by pulling images or blockquotes into the margins with a class of “pull” and “alignleft” or “alignright”. With blockquotes you can also add a class of just “pull” if you want a more dynamic blockquote that extends out on both sides. Here are some examples of how to do that in the post HTML editor.\n<blockquote>A normal blockquote</blockquote> <blockquote class=\"pull\">A bolder blockquote that extends into both margins</blockquote> <blockquote class=\"pull alignleft\">A bolder blockquote that floats into the left margin</blockquote> <blockquote class=\"pull alignright\">A bolder blockquote that floats into the right margin</blockquote>\nAdding a “pull” class to your left and right floated images will pull them into the margins as well.\nQuick Specs (all measurements in pixels)\n- The maximum content width is\n- The maximum sidebar width is\n- The header image is\n- The maximum width for images on attachment pages is", "char_count": 5201, "token_count": 1300, "k_exact": 2.7624, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8966, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Tuesday, July 15, 2014\nBerkeley County Council has authorized spending up to $285,000 to settle a federal lawsuit by eight Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office deputies claiming unfair compensation for overtime.\nThe authorization was made during a special meeting of council July 14 after mediations by attorneys led to an agreement.\nBlakely v. Berkeley County was filed in May 2013. Deputy James Blakely filed the complaint alleging the county did not reimburse him for overtime work. The complaint allowed other deputies to join. The deputies are K-9 and narcotics officers.\nAttorney Marybeth Mullaney represented the plaintiffs.\nShe said the lawsuit is in regard to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which ensures overtime pay and holiday pay is compensated. The complaint alleges Blakely and other Berkeley County law enforcement officers suffered damages as a result of FLSA violations.\nThe complaint stated that Blakely regularly worked in excess of 171 hours in a 28-day work cycle and was rarely compensated properly for those hours. Blakely has worked for the county since 2001.\n“My clients are pleased that the county worked with us to resolve this matter and they look forward to continuing to do what they love which is serving the citizens of Berkeley County. It was not an easy thing for them to step forward but they did so with the hope of making positive changes for all similarly situated County employees. I hope that the Sheriff’s Office will recognize them as leaders and that they will continue to grow in their careers with the department,” Mullaney said in a statement released to the Independent.\nDuring the July 14 meeting, county council agreed to pay up to $285,000 with those funds coming from the fund balance.\nThe lawsuit will be settled once Judge Patrick Michael Duffy of the S.C. District Court approves the agreement.\nThe Berkeley Independent is pleased to offer readers the enhanced ability to comment on stories.

-{"text": "This fall, Blair Underwood stars in \"Ironside,\" an NBC reboot of the classic police drama that featured Raymond Burr as a paraplegic detective.\nBut viewers shouldn't expect many similarities between the new show and the \"Ironside\" that aired from 1967 to '75.\nBesides the title, the fact that the title character is a detective and in a wheelchair, \"everything else is re-imagined,\" Underwood told reporters here at the TV critics press tour.\nOne of the chief differences is the personality of Ironside himself. As portrayed by Underwood in the pilot episode, he's a gruff and very intense guy who demands a lot of himself and his team.\n\"He's kind of a bad ass,\" Underwood said. \"In terms of his bad-assness, he's a great character.\"\nThe character is also very self-sufficient. There are no handles on his wheelchair and he doesn't get much assistance in making his way around. That aspect of Ironside, said Underwood, is derived from the show's technical adviser -- a man who was paralyzed at the age of 19 in a skiing accident and has gone on to lead an extremely independent life.\n\"A lot of what you see in this portrayal of Ironside is inspired by him,\" he said.\nUnderwood, who had never before played a character in a wheelchair, acknowledged that the role presented a big learning curve for him.\n\"It's something I had to delve into and continue to delve into,\" he said. \"Our job is to make you believe it and to be as authentic as possible.\"\nAlong those lines, a producer was asked if any actual paraplegics were considered for the role. They were not, he replied, because the series will feature many flashback scenes showing Ironside before his injury.", "char_count": 1660, "token_count": 415, "k_exact": 2.1659, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8112, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "ROCHESTER, Minn. — Bipolar disorder evolves differently in patients who also binge eat, a study by Mayo Clinic, the Lindner Center of HOPE and the University of Minnesota found. Binge eating and obesity often are present among bipolar patients, but the mood disorder appears to take a different path in those who binge eat than it does in obese bipolar patients who do not, the researchers discovered. The findings are published online in the Journal of Affective Disorders.\nUp to 4 percent of Americans have some form of bipolar illness, and of those, just under 10 percent also have binge eating disorder -- a higher rate of binge eating than seen in the general population, says co-author Mark Frye, M.D., a psychiatrist and chair of the Department of Psychiatry/Psychology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) update released this spring recognizes binge eating disorder as a distinct condition, he noted.\nBipolar patients who binge eat are more likely to have other mental health issues such as suicidal thoughts, psychosis, anxiety disorders and substance abuse, the study found. People with bipolar disorder who are obese but do not binge eat are more likely to have serious physical problems such as arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.\nIt was more common for women than men with bipolar disorder to binge eat or to be obese, the study showed.\n\"The illness is more complicated, and then by definition how you would conceptualize how best to individualize treatment is more complicated,\" Dr. Frye says. \"It really underscores the importance of trying to stabilize mood, because we know when people are symptomatic of their bipolar illness their binge frequency is likely to increase. We want to work with treatments that can be helpful but not have weight gain as a significant side effect.\"\nThe researchers used the Mayo Clinic Bipolar Biobank, a collaborative effort by Mayo Clinic, the Lindner Center of HOPE, University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic Health System. More research is planned to see whether there is a genetic link to binge eating disorder in bipolar disease.\n\"Patients with bipolar disorder and binge eating disorder appear to represent a more severely ill population of bipolar patients. Identification of this subgroup of patients will help determine the underlying causes of bipolar disorder and lead to more effective and personalized treatments,\" says co-author Susan McElroy, M.D., chief research officer at the Lindner Center of HOPE.", "char_count": 2547, "token_count": 636, "k_exact": 3.3319, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9236, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Jason Bonham talks Zeppelin\nMany kids dream of following in their fathers's footsteps, but for 41-year-old Jason Bonham, the imagery is more literal than figurative. His late dad, John \"Bonzo\" Bonham, is generally regarded as the ultimate drummer for the world's ultimate rock band, Led Zeppelin. And last year, Jason had a unique opportunity to step in for Bonzo when Zeppelin performed their rapturous reunion at London's O2 Arena.\n\"It was like the penalty shoot-out at the World Cup, but you're taking everyone one,\"Bonham tells the Musician's Union Musician magazine. \"I had to shoot 16 times and get the goal every time.\"\nDespite weeks of meticulous rehearsals (and a lifetime of envisioning such a show) Jason admits that his nerves were shot just before hitting the stage. \"We all arrived separately and didn't communicate with each other until ten minutes before we went on. At that point I don't know what I was feeling. I was breathing deeply trying to keep calm. I knew I could do the gig, but could I do it when it counted?\"\nFans and critics alike praised Jason's enthusiastically reverent interpretations of his old man's moves. For the younger Bonham, the notices have been welcome, although they are \"too much to comprehend, really. A friend said, 'Keep your feet on the ground. You don't believe them when you're crap, so why believe them when they say you're great?' What pleased me was that, in certain reviews, everything I attempted they picked up on. Like the tempos. I was anal about keeping them back to more like the albums. One review said, 'Jason had this funk element,' and I was like, 'yes, they get it. Dad was a funk drummer.'\"\nJason calls the O2 performance \"the test,\" but unlike most exams, he says that preparations, while earnest, were anything but laborious. \"The first week, Robert wasn't there and we had a fantastic time, feeling quite cocky for when he was gonna walk in - 'Have a bit of this…bash!' Then Jimmy broke his finger and that sent me panicking - 'You know what? Maybe this isn't gonna happen after all.' Once it was rescheduled, we got the set list and ran the first three songs every day.\"\nIn a set that was one sustained high, picking a favorite is a difficult task. Jason, however, has no such trouble, citing Kashmir, the closing song before the encores, as his personal best. \"By then I had no nerves, just pure, brutal, 'I'm gonna really go for it.' I'm glad I wasn't afraid because sometimes all those things you wanted to do, you bottle it. So I just went for it with all these big crossing-over time-fills.\"\nFrom the moment Zeppelin left the O2 stage, one question has dogged the band: When are you doing it again? Jason has confirmed his desire to take part in a tour or other one-off shows, and he sees the absence of an O2 DVD as a good omen. \"I said to myself, 'If they release it straight away then that's the end because it takes away the mystique.' It's hard to be in this situation where it was so good and now I'm left in limbo about what's going to happen next. I managed to pull Excalibur out of the stone and, for a short period, I carried the sword but then I was told. 'No, no, put it back in the stone now.'\"\nStill, if nothing more happens, Jason feels at peace, both with the past and present. \"I'm happy with what happened and, if I ask for more, it's me being greedy. There's a sense of accomplishment that Dad has remained my hero, my mentor throughout the last 27 years, and I still used him as my main focus to be able to do the gig.

-{"text": "Working in the press office of the dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, Germany, I have been confronted with media representatives from all over the world in all matter of sorts. Their attitudes have varied from excited enthusiasm during the preview days to defeated exhaustion after hours and miles of contemporary art navigation. It must be said, these nearly 3,000 journalists are troopers. They often come misdirected with maps and muddy shoes having traversed the city in attempts to see the of art dOCUMENTA (13) in a short amount of time. They often come asking for tips. I am asked what to see when one only has two days or two hours, how best to route one’s way through the exhibitions, or most interestingly common, has been the question of where to go to ascertain a good mood.\nDirector Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev gave the dOCUMENTA (13) the theme of “Collapse and Recovery,” and the truth is, it’s an exhausting one to take in. While many of the exhibits are inspiring in their existential explorations, let’s face it: contemporary art can be depressing. When facing topics of mankind’s disconnectedness, ego and destruction, war and terror, human suffering and loss, we can find ourselves feeling defeated. Along with recommendations for gelato and bratwurst, I have been suggesting a walk through Karlsaue Park.\nA sprawling expanse of lush green parted by still canals and tranquil streams, ornamented with classical temples and picturesque bridges, the Karlsaue was originally intended as a pleasure garden. The 16th century park extends for 17 miles and for the 100 days of dOCUMENTA (13), it is a main venue for the exhibitions. Artists have created public sculptures, gardens, sound installations, and interactive mixed media works. As it is described in the guidebook, the park is home to: “a number of detached small houses containing artistic projects, the Grimm brothers’ tales, aesthetics, and politics, and how to be together separately.” While the subject matter addressed in the works of Karlsaue is not always breezy, it focuses perhaps on the “Recovery” aspect of Christov Bakargiev’s theme, and the environment is breathtaking.\nOne might begin a Karlsaue tour at the baroque Orangerie, to view the work of Jeronimo Voss, Eternity through the Stars. Voss’ installation is composed of two parts, one at the planetarium and one in the Cabinet of Astronomy and Physics of the Orangerie. The artist works with light, projection, image, and text in dealing with astronomical processes to document history. From the steps of the Orangerie, one looks onto a green expanse of park and is confronted with the work of Italian artist Massimo Bartolini as well Chinese artist Song Dong’s hard-to-miss creation. Bartolini’s Untitled (Wave), is a minimalist construction of stainless steel, engine, water, and barley: a rectangular pond of water in constant wave-like motion. Bartolini is known for his interest in combining organic with man-made materials, bringing the viewer to observe mechanical constructions in natural environments. Song Dong has also added to the visual landscape of the park with his Doing Nothing Garden, which essentially is an accumulation of organic material and rubble: waste. Aside from being a 20 feet tall mound surrounded by red tubing and dotted by neon Chinese characters that read, “Doing” and “Nothing,” the project fits in with the natural environment. Growing native grasses and flowers, the garden is integrated; it is a thriving organism and it is an artificial landscape, beckoning the question- can doing nothing lead to creating something?\nAs a recommendation for maneuvering the park’s exhibits, I would urge visitors to regard their maps as an afterthought. Much more intriguing (and perhaps appropriate to Christov-Bakargiev’s concept of “non-concept”), is serendipitously happening upon artwork in Karlsaue. Rather than plotting an exact course, how evocative to stumble upon the sound installation, Forest (for a thousand years) of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller in a clearing in the woods or to come across Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle’s Time/Bank in a small wooden house, a bank that stores and exchanges time as a form of currency. On the journey, the visitor may find themselves traversing time and place through encounters with a tent of “women of the Western Sahara” as they cook couscous and make tea, the project of American artist Robin Kahn. Along the way, walking across Christian Philipp Müller’s floating garden one may pick and taste swiss chard on a canal in platoons from the 1950’s.\nThe 52 Karlsaue exhibitions relate to and use their environment, making for an experience in which qualities of art and site are indistinguishable. The combination of natural sound and light in the park with created audio and visual projections, organic matter with mediated material, is fantastic.\nThe exhibitions outside of the park, located in venues such the Neue Galerie, the Friedericianum, and the Documenta Halle, are not to be missed. Performances are taking place throughout the 100 days in various locations throughout Kassel; from morning until night there will never be a shortage of art to be seen. While it is true that contemporary art is not always a walk in the park, dOCUMENTA (13) is equipped with the perfect balancing venue for a break and sensual encounter in its Karlsaue.", "char_count": 5360, "token_count": 1340, "k_exact": 2.3195, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8551, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Most Active Stories\nBrown V. Board of Education\nMon June 9, 2014\nWhat Desegregation Was Like In Miami\nBrown v. Board of Education — the Supreme Court decision declaring segregated schools were inherently unequal — turns 60 years old this year.\nEarlier this week, we brought you memories from students and teachers who were there in the early days of desegregation.\nAnd now, with decades of perspective, here are some of the things they learned from integration:\n\"You don't get black or white from kids\"\nIn 1963, Mamie Pinder was a first-time classroom teacher in the previously all-white Allapattah Elementary School. She taught fourth grade. Eventually, Pinder went on to be the first black woman to run for mayor of Miami.\n“One day I spent the time asking each of my kids — who were black and white now — ‘What color are you? What color are you?’ You get pink, brown, blue. Any color. You don’t get black or white from kids.\nThe kids are taught — it’s a true saying — in the home. Home is the first school of education. What that child is taught in the home is what that child brings into the world. And then once you bring it into the world, that kid has to make a decision what part of the world they want.”\n\"Kids today don't understand the struggle\"\nToday, Retha Boone-Fye is the executive director of Miami-Dade's Black Affairs Advisory Board. A Miami native, she grew up in Liberty City and graduated from Miami Jackson Senior High in 1968. When she started eighth grade at Miami Jackson, she was one of just a couple dozen black students.\n“The legacy was supposed to be equal educational opportunity. But unfortunately that has not happened, because you still have poor people who have poor schools. You still have issues where equal education is not across the board. I wish that it were so. We may be getting better. But that, to me, the legacy has not been borne out.\nI’m a pessimist from the standpoint of I think that we could do better. But I’m an optimist in the hopes that we will. The kids today don’t quite understand the struggle their parents had to go through. And I think that’s a good and a bad thing. The good part about is that they don’t have that background to hold them back. The bad part is they don’t remember to appreciate it in the end. Maybe that’s good and bad.”\n\"It was a rainbow of faces\"\nEllen Elias teaches Brown v. Board of Education in her AP government class at Dr. Michael Krop Senior High. In 1971 she had black classmates for the first time when she started attending JFK Junior High.\n“I think part of it made me into the kind of person I am in terms of how I treat other people — also certainly how I parent my child. She went to JFK Middle School. Instead of sticking with the little Highland Oaks crowd, she went to school with almost all black kids. And at her Bat Mitzvah, it was a rainbow of faces. I think that’s kind of cool that she’s much more exposed to people who are different from her.\nWhen I [teach] the Supreme Court cases, each student presents a different case. We talk about the impacts of those cases and then we look around the room and we’re like, ‘you wouldn’t be here if Brown v. Board of Education hadn’t passed.’ There’s another case — Title IX, women in sports — and I have amazing female athletes in my classes. So we always look at the impact. And the students are very aware of whose shoulders they’re standing on.”\nYou can hear these Floridians talking about what it was like to integrate. Note to listeners: this story contains strong language.\nBrown v.

-{"text": "Range Rover (2013) pictures and hands-on\nA new Range Rover doesn’t come along every day. This is only the fourth full-size Range Rover ever -although don’t forget it’s no longer just a model though, but forms part of a range together with Evoque and Sport. The previous model lasted a full ten years, which made it practically prehistoric in car years. Yet it still looks good as it shuffles off stage left. So what of the new?\nWell, it’s longer, lower and crucially, lighter. A lot lighter. Which should bring some long-overdue benefits in terms of fuel consumption - which has been historically chronic - and of course CO2 figures, which even rich people are apparently bothered about these days. Being lighter it should be better to drive, too.\nBut all that is yet to come, for now our first impressions are limited to how the Rangey looks, what it feels like to sit in and a partial look at what the tech’s like. And, for the most part, we rather like what we see.\nThe Range Rover instantly looks more modern with its more jewel-like details, bigger wheels and a tad more chrome bling. Yet it keeps its signatures of a floating roof, merging grille-and-lamps, clamshell bonnet and split tailgate. Design-wise, it feels familiar, yet looks rather different in the metal. That’s because its proportions have grown and the cabin has more \"lean back\" to it than the upright car it replaces. Whether that’s a good thing or not is tricky to call. It looks more modern, it still looks like a Range Rover, but in our view some of the \"regal\" qualities of the old Range Rover have been lost.\nNot to fret though, because inside is distractingly impressive. You still climb \"up\", into the Range Rover, yet you sit lower – there’s less of a sense of sitting outboard in the car, with the beltline so low, relative to your hips. You feel more ensconced. It still feels big, yet you’re unlikey to be overwhelmed because the cabin design has been cleaned up with a 50 per cent reduction in switchgear. Most of the secondary controls are now driven through a central touchscreen which is verging on tablet-sized. It’s flanked by a series of backlit shortcut keys, which will reduce many of our traditional touchscreen moans. And just three major climate dials can take care of the entire cabin’s ventilation options, including switching on the heated seats - which we like, as they’re really lovely to use and hold.\nThe centre screen though, plays second fiddle to an engorged digital instrument cluster. This, we couldn't see in action beyond the start-up display. But that was enough to notice a massive up-tick in resolution relative to the Jag XJ, which features a similar design. On the centre tunnel, there’s a much cleaner set of dials for the gearbox and four-wheel drive settings, which theatrically rise up when the car starts and sit flush when the car’s stopped – adding to the sense of this being a very clean, spare, yet modern design. The really clever bit though, is that it all feels special - it feels like an event - and like you’re genuinely in something worth a hundred grand and that’s got a real whiff of class.\nAnd it gets even better in the back, where the longer wheelbase - and greater overall length of the Range Rover generally - liberates loads more legroom. For the first time you’ll be able to choose between a three-seat rear bench, or two plush captain's chairs which recline like business-class airline seats and are separated by a thick centre console. Display screens resided in the headrests backs of all the Range Rovers on the Land Rover’s stand in Paris, but sadly weren’t operational. But given the massiveness of the Range Rover’s front seats, these manage to be bigger screens than you might expect. Kids and business men alike are in for a real treat.\nWe’ll get more details - and our first drive - of the new Range Rover come the winter. Expect prices to rise from their current £70k start point and the range of personalisation options, colours and accessories to make it easy to tip your Range Rover well beyond £100k in price.\nEven at that price, we can see it selling well. China and the US particularly are likely to be keen on the extra size and space. It’s just a pity that in its home market it’s now a bit big for the average car parking space. People won’t care – because the Range Rover’s still got class in bags, is still the king of 4x4 and will doubtless make a brilliant all-round vehicle. In the next three years of its life, this car will face some new rivals - such as Bentley’s production EXP 9F and Lamborghini’s Urus. But you’ll have to really want to own that particular brand and everything that goes with it, to overlook the Range Rover. The best 4x4xfar?

-{"text": "By Times staff writers\nPublished November 20, 2004\n5 KEYS FOR FLORIDA\n1. HIT THE GROUND RUNNING: Florida State has the nation's No. 1 run defense while the Gators have the top rusher in the SEC, Ciatrick Fason. Backup DeShawn Wynn is expected to return from a strained groin that kept him out for two games, and Skyler Thornton has played well in Wynn's absence. Florida must rely on those three to get its running game going early. When the Gators have been successful this season, the running game has been a big part of the equation.\n2. HOLD THE LEAD: Florida has lost three games this season in the final minutes and lost last season to the Seminoles in the final minute. No lead will be safe with FSU in its stadium.\n3. HOPE CHRIS RIX REMAINS ON THE SIDELINE: The quarterback has been a thorn in the Gators' side, engineering a late winning drive and having some of his best games against them. So you have to wonder if he has gotten into their psyches. If Rix comes in and has immediate success, who knows?\n4. THE OFFENSIVE LINE: It has been the most steady unitbut hampered by penalties at key moments. With Florida State's stellar defense, center Mike Degory and company have to stay away from the flags, give Chris Leak time to throw and Fason and Wynn room to run. Degory said he expects this to be the line's toughest test. It's an exam the players have to pass. If they can't protect and open the holes, it will be a long night for the Gators.\n5. STAY COOL: There is a lot of emotion surrounding this game. Their coach has been fired. The Gators haven't won in Tallahassee since 1986. This game is highly charged anyway because of the intrastate rivalry, but Florida can't get caught up in the hype. If it plays tight and falls behind early, the uphill climb might be too much.\n- ANTONYA ENGLISH, Times staff writer\nFIVE KEYS FOR FLORIDA STATE\n1. HOME COOKING FOR SEXTON: Quarterback Wyatt Sexton's performances at home vs. the road have been Jekyll and Hyde-like. In five games at Doak Campbell, he has completed 74 of 107 passes (69 percent) for 895 yards and six touchdowns with just one interception. In four road games, he's 51-of-113 (45 percent) for 602 yards, two scores and six interceptions.\n2. QUICK STRIKE: The Seminoles know the Gators will come out inspired to win for coach Ron Zook, so the best way to deflate them is an early touchdown. But then the Seminoles have scored a touchdown on their opening drive just twice (UAB and North Carolina) and haven't scored a first-half touchdown in their past four games.\n3. CONTAIN THE LEAK: The Seminoles have allowed just six passing touchdowns, but coach Bobby Bowden calls Leak the best quarterback the Seminoles have faced this season. Leak leads the SEC in passing yards per game (270.4) and has thrown 27 touchdowns. He also is a threat to run but uses his mobility more) to buy time.\n4. PHASE OUT FASON: Besides leading the SEC, Fason has nine touchdowns. His play has made Leak's job easier. The Seminoles neutralized him last year (21 yards on eight carries) and need to do that again to make the Gators offense one-dimensional. 5. SHORTEN THE FIELD: Willie Reid provided the biggest boost for a struggling offense last week at North Carolina State with his punt returns. He had six for 108 yards, a healthy average of 18 yards (10 is the goal). Slowed by hamstring and groin injuries, he's as healthy as he has been.", "char_count": 3396, "token_count": 849, "k_exact": 1.9544, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7817, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "'I felt I had killed my mate' - Private Paul Warren\n- From: news.com.au\n- September 12, 2013\nPRIVATE Paul Warren suffered a horrific injury while serving in Afghanistan - a buried bomb exploded and took off his leg.\nBut the physical recovery he had to make was nothing compared to the emotional. Private Warren had to come to terms with the fact that the bomb he accidentally detonated also killed his mate.\nIt was a scorching summer day on July 18, 2009 in the Uruzgan province.\nJust six weeks into his first tour of duty, Private Warren and his fellow soldiers had surrounded the compound of a notorious insurgent bomb maker. He had been lying outside on the ground next to his 22-year-old colleague Private Benjamin Ranaudo, behind a mag 58 machine gun, for two hours. He shifted slightly behind his gun and suddenly heard a loud bang.\n\"And I pretty much launched into the air.\"\nHe doesn't remember the pain at first.\n\"No, initially no. Confusion and dust and ringing in your ears, it was just out of control. I crawled for a little bit and I wasn't crawling very successfully and I looked down and my leg was clean gone ... so from then on I realised I was in trouble,\" Private Warren told Channel Ten, for the first episode of current affairs show Revealed.\nHis first instinct was to look for Private Ranaudo.\n\"The pain was out of control. I was asking where Ben was and no one would answer me and it was in the back of my mind, tell me, but no one would,\" Private Warren said.\n\"I can tell you now, the worst moment of my life was waking up from that first surgery and looking to see my mate on a bed beside me and people telling me that he has been killed.\"\nHe felt shattered and guilty.\n\"Honestly me triggering the small one, I felt I had killed my mate.\"\nBack home in Australia, his girlfriend of just four months Dee Acland got the call all loved ones dread. But Ms Acland was not formally registered as Private Warren's de facto - of the four months they'd known each other he had been in Afghanistan for almost two - and the army was under no obligation to help her in any official way.\nPrivate Warren had been flown to Brisbane, to a hospital that could deal with his horrific injuries. When Ms Acland got the call she packed up her home in Townsville and headed straight for Brisbane.\n\"I remember seeing her walk into the room when they got me back to Brisbane and I can't remember what was said that day. I just remember hugging her,\" Private Warren said.\nMs Acland said he was injured and 20 kilos lighter, but she could see that he was \"the same person inside\".\n\"I know of a couple of people that just really questioned whether we'd stay together or not. It might have been too much for such an early relationship. It was still going to happen for us. We just did a lot of our dating in hospital,\" she said.\nThe physical recovery for Private Warren was tough. A two-time Australian Muay Thai champion - nicknamed The Warlord - was now without a leg.\n\"That was the worst time in my life. Not the physical but the post-traumatic stress,\" he said.\n\"I was addicted to the pain medication. I went straight from morphine to endone-type stuff. The doctor's answer was 'here take these antidepressants and fill yourself up'. I can tell you now, that's definitely not the answer. At one stage I thought about just eating whatever tablets I had and never waking up.\n\"I remember being up for two, three days in a row, I just couldn't see at night. I was anxious and almost waiting for something to happen. It's not a nice feeling.\"\nPrivate Warren says he feels personally let down by the army, and thinks Defence should do more to help veterans.\n\"I would like to help them put together some programs. I mean, when I first got back to work, we just sat there. The worst thing you can do with someone with post-traumatic stress is to give them nothing to do, their mind will take over,\" he said.\n\"If you're not busy and have some goals, don't forget these are guys who have come out of such a structured and they are goal orientated and then all of a sudden you can't have them sitting around doing nothing. This is killing people, people are killing themselves.\"\nPrivate Warren has been working through his guilt over the incident, and believes that the best way to honour Private Ben Ranaudo is to live and to be happy.\nNow married to Ms Acland with two children, the couple has honoured Ben by naming their son after him.\n\"Jax Benjamin Warren … yeah, after Ben and, yeah, that's really meaningful to us. We proudly have Ben's photo in our home and the kids will grow up and know about those photos and how much meaning they have,\" Ms Acland said.\n\"Ben's family, they are just an amazing group of people.

-{"text": "The 168s seem to be the latest fad. A lot of people get all googly eyed, (me included) by the high BCs of the VLDs, but they are just fragile target bullets. I would go with the 160 AB. The coefficient is still good at .531, and you get the performance of a premium hunting bullet.\nSorry if this post comes off rude, just take it as kind of a 'forewarning'. I used to be on the Berger bandwagon until I saw their flaws in the field. I will say this though, if you're only shooting targets, they work great! They kill paper very, very well.\nArise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13\nI am glad to hear somebody doesnt like em. I hear nothing but good things and I like to hear honest evaluations. Thank you. Hopefully now I do not share the same opinion as you because of all the range hours I have put in on them. I shoot the accubond now and have a great load worked up for them. It did take 400 rounds down range though. I tried like heck and finally got a result.\nArise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13\nThere are failures with just about any bullet design. I have killed a bunch of critters with Accubonds, and really like their performance. It is usually boom, and the game goes down. However, I shot my biggest bull with 200 grain .308 Accubonds, and it took four rounds. At first, I was disappointed with my own marksmanship. Then, during necropsy, it turns out all four punched holes through the lungs, with fairly narrow wound channels. Usually Accubonds leave the lungs in ribbons. I chalked it up to an anomoly, and the fact the bull was 900+ pounds on the hoof.\nEven after that experience, I would use (and have used) Accubonds with confidence. Accubonds have worked as advertized farm more often than this one-time mediocre performance.\nI also had an acquaintance tell me he won't use Accubonds, because he blew one up on the shoulder of a cow, but I suspect it was actually a ballistic tip.\nI certainly agree hunters should use what they are most confident with.\nBTW, I have never had a Barnes TTSX failure ... but I have heard rumors of them failing to open. They have all been quick one-shot kills for me.\nI appreciate the conversation, Elkoholic307.\nTTSX & TSX up to .25, ABs past that. I do have a 2 .25 cal rifles that like 110gr ABs better than the tsx.\nMy favorite bullets in my hunting rifles:\n.280 Rem is the 140gr AB\n.338-06 is the 210gr Partition\nlooks like i'm the only hornady guy on here, I use 165 grain sst's in my 300 wsm and knocked down my elk at over 500 yards. I also use 87 grain btsp in my 25-06 for antelope and coyotes. Then I use 40 grain v max's out of my 22-250\nI'm a little late getting here, but it was an interesting read.\nI'm on the bandwagon with most. My favorite all around bullet is the accubond, but I've had success with bergers also. One thing I found with the bergers in 6mm (87 & 95gr) is that they seldom exit and the animal loses very little blood from a small entrance wound. They did enough damage that the deer fell right in their tracks or close to it, and left very little blood on the ground to contaminate an area with it's scent. It was nice when letting my girlfriend or neighbors take management deer from my stand sites. I had trouble with them punching through coyotes without much damage at longer ranges also. I plan to keep trying 140gr bergers in my 264WM also, but it's accubonds for me in everything else or for anything bigger than deer. I love how fast accubonds open, even using elk weight bullets on coyotes they open fast and deliver shock instead of burning through but they still retain their weight and penetrate. I've never recovered an accubond from something smaller than an elk that I can remember. The accubond is the most consistent and forgiving bullet I've tried.\nLast edited by mcseal2; 07-18-2011 at 09:31 PM.

-{"text": "September 30, 2013\nYou'll Receive Many Opinions of Your Resume; Rely on 10 Sure Things\nBy Bob McIntosh, Career Trainer\nIn a recent article, I wrote about how seeking the advice of multiple resume\n“experts” may land you in Job\nSearch Purgatory - where you run around from expert to expert, revising and revising your resume, and revising it some more, until you’re at your wit’s end.\nWhose advice should you follow when you’re writing your resumes? Knowing the answer to this dilemma is like having a crystal ball; without it you won’t be 100% sure of who will provide the right answers.\nDo you heed the advice of professional resume writers, recruiters, HR, or hiring managers? They all offer good advice, but their advice will be different. In fact, you can ask 20 résumé experts their opinions on how you should write your resumes, and you’ll get 20 different answers. So who is correct?\nThe answer is, “Who knows?” The person who decides if your resume will get you to an interview\nis the person who invites you in for an interview. Resume reviewers are somewhat subjective when they read resumes, and sometimes there’s no rhyme nor reason.\nWhile one person may like accomplishments listed upfront, another may prefer them listed in your employment section—the easier to know when and where you had your accomplishments. While one person prefers two-page resumes, another might favor one-pagers. While one person may not be concerned with flowery prose in your professional profile, another may hate it, as I do.\nThe point being, you’re the one who needs to decide if your resume is ready to go. Do you want to drive yourself nuts by having a slew of people give you their “expert” advice, revising your resume twenty times over? Or do you want to take your destiny into your own hands?\nNow, there are certain rules on writing effective resumes that you should heed in no particular order. These are ten sure things that need to be in place to offer you the best chance of success.\n1. Quantifiable results are a must. Employers\nare not interested in a grocery list of duties; they’re drawn to significant accomplishments that are quantified with numbers, dollars, and percentages.\n2. Please no clichés or unsubstantiated adaptive skills.\nThe new rule is to show rather than tell. Yes, you may be innovative; but what makes you innovative? Did you develop a program for inner-city youth that promoted a cooperative environment, reducing violent crime by 50%? If so, state it in your profile as such.\n3. Tailor your resume to each job, when possible.\nEmployers don’t want a one-fits-all resume that doesn’t address their needs or follow the job description. It’s insulting. By the way, for all you job board junkies, a resume using the Target Job Deconstruction\nmethod is an adequate alternative to tailoring thousands of resumes.\n4. Your résumé needs to show relevance.\nEmployers are interested in the past 10 or 15 years of your work history; in some cases less. Age discrimination may also be a concern, so don’t show all 25-30 years of your work life.\n5. Keywords are essential\nfor certain occupations that are technical in nature. They’re the difference between being found at the top of the list or not at all. Again, job board faithfuls must have their keywords peppered throughout their résumé.\n6. Size matters.\nSome employers are reading hundreds of résumés for one job, so do them a favor and don’t submit a resume that doesn’t warrant its length. The general rule is two pages are appropriate providing you have the experience and accomplishments to back it up. More than two pages requires extensive experience. In some cases a one-page resume will do the job.\n7. No employer cares what you want.\nThat’s right; employers care about what they want and need. If you happen to care what they want and can solve their problems and make them look good, they’ll love you. So drop the meaningless objective statement that generally reads, “Seeking a position in a progressive company where I can utilize my journalism skills.” Great if the employer cares about your desire to employ your journalism skills. Super great if they need a journalist.\n8. Start your resume with a punch.\nBelow your name and contact information lies your branding title. Within 130 characters or so, you can capture the attention of the employer by stating what you do and in what capacity. Senior Engineer doesn’t do it like: Pharmaceutical Sales Rep | Biopharma | Committed to Increasing Revenue | and Enhancing Product Line.\n9. Make it easy to read.\nYour resume should not only be visually appealing, it should be visually readable. Employers who read hundreds of resumes will glance at them for as few as 10 seconds before deciding to read them at length. Make your resume scannable by writing shorter word blocks, three to four lines at most.\n10. WOW them.\nUse WOW statements in your professional profile section in the form of accomplishments. That’s right, grab their attention with quantified accomplishments early on. Volunteered to assume the duties of website development and design, while also excelling at pubic relations, resulting in $50,000 in savings for the company will entice the reviewer to continue reading.\nAt some point you need to go with what works—a resume that will land you interviews. I don’t care if it’s written on a napkin and delivered in a Starbucks’ cup (it’s been done). If it’s getting you interviews, go with it. If it isn’t getting you interviews, there’s something lacking in your résumé, but carefully chose one or two people who can offer you sound advice. And remember the 10 must have’s on your résumé.\nUpload your resume\nand have employers find you!\nAbout the Author\nBob McIntosh, CPRW\n, is a career trainer at the Career Center of Lowell, where he leads more than 20 workshops on the career search.

-{"text": "Lycopene is a natural compound found in plants. It’s involved in photosynthesis and helps to protect plants from damage due to constant exposure to light. It’s lycopene that gives certain plant foods their vibrant red color including tomatoes, pink grapefruit, papaya, guava, watermelon, goji berries and apricots. These foods are some of the best sources of this strong antioxidant pigment. Humans can’t make lycopene, and it’s not a dietary requirement, but research shows that lycopene may have health benefits.\nBecause of its antioxidant properties and its ability to keep inflammation in check, lycopene may lower the risk of some diseases including heart disease and certain types of cancer. Lycopene is more potent from an antioxidant standpoint than vitamin E, as much as 100 times more powerful. That puts it in a special class among molecules that help to prevent oxidative damage, the type of damage that occurs to cells from exposure to oxygen.\nUnfortunately, most people don’t get enough lycopene in their diet. The best way to get lycopene is by eating tomatoes that have been heated or processed from sources like tomato sauce and ketchup. The lycopene in raw, unprocessed tomatoes can’t be as readily used by the body. There are also lycopene supplements available.\nLycopene also offers skin benefits because of its antioxidant properties. When skin is exposed to sunlight, it causes free radicals to form. Free radicals damage skin cells and cells that produce collagen and elastin. They also activate enzymes that break down collagen. This is one mechanism by which sun exposure causes premature aging and skin cancer. Lycopene, by acting as an antioxidant and a powerful free radical quencher, may reduce this type of damage. It’s well-suited to protect skin cells since it works best in a lipid-rich environment like the skin.\nWith so many people worried about ingredients in sunscreens, lycopene appears to have natural sun protective benefits. In a study published in the British Society for Investigative Dermatology in 2008, researchers assigned participants to a diet high in lycopene for 3 months. Another group ate a regular diet to serve as a control group. The results? The group that ate a lycopene-rich diet enjoyed 33% greater protection against the sun’s damaging rays. That’s the equivalent of a sun protection factor or SPF of 1.3. That’s not good enough to throw away your sunscreen, but lycopene offers additional protection against the sun that goes above and beyond standard sunscreen products.\nWhat’s even more exciting about lycopene is the effect it has on collagen production. When researchers took skin samples from participants in the lycopene study, they found the participants that ate the lycopene-rich diet had higher levels of pro-collagen in their skin. Pro-collagen is the precursor to collagen, a protein that gives skin its support and youthful firmness. Collagen levels decline with age, which is partially responsible for the wrinkling and saggy skin that comes with age. Lycopene may help to replace some of this lost collagen.\nWith all of the good positive news about lycopene and its effects on the skin, it’s not surprising that manufacturers of cosmetics and skin care products are adding lycopene to their products. Some cosmetic products that contain lycopene include anti-aging treatments, facial moisturizers, eye creams, lip gloss and lipstick. In lip gloss and lipstick, lycopene serves as a colorant. Absorption of lycopene from skin creams doesn’t appear to be a problem. It’s lipid-soluble, which makes it easily absorbed across the lipid barrier of the skin. It has a bright orange color and can color the skin if a product contains a high concentration.\nLycopene appears to be safe cosmetic ingredient. In fact, it has health benefits. The Environmental Working Group classifies it as a low hazard cosmetic ingredient. That means you can feel safe putting it on your skin. Lycopene generally doesn’t cause skin irritation, although there are reports of allergies to lycopene. When used orally in supplement form, it can cause mild stomach upset for some people but is usually well tolerated.", "char_count": 4163, "token_count": 1040, "k_exact": 3.5205, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8768, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "How to Make Communication Technology Work for Positive Social Change\nWe live and work in the information age, an era of global knowledge sharing and social networking enabled by a variety of information, communication, and collaboration technologies (or ICCT).\nWhat do we do about it?\nThe rescue of the Chilean coal miners is a fine example of how modern digital technology aided people from around the world to be informed, share practical wisdom, collaboratively problem-solve, and coordinate efforts to deploy innovative solutions. Disparate people from various countries and professions who become aware of the situation and were empathetic to the plight of the miners spontaneously organized themselves into a rescue enterprise. They formed a sociotechnical system that, for a period of time, transcended artificial social and national boundaries to save lives. Human ingenuity was unleashed for the benefit of others. Utilizing information and collaboration technology, a global dialogue was established so needed knowledge, skills, and resources were identified, located, and deployed. Further, because of the world-wide media coverage, significant attention has been drawn to a longstanding critical issues in the coal industry. The challenge now is to act to change working conditions for miners so the safety of their work environments is improved and their lives will not be jeopardized in the future.\nLike this rescue situation, contemporary organizations—for profit, nonprofit and governmental—can be understood as dynamic webs of communication, relationships, and interactivity enabled by digital technology. Being distributed entities comprised of people and technology, they are complex sociotechnical systems where professionals self-organize, communicate, build relationships, make decisions, conduct business, engage in activities, perform tasks, and serve customers without concern of distance or locale.\nThe Internet, cell phones, laptops, Blackberries, and now iPads are creating workplace environments characterized by 24/7 connectivity and a continuous flow of information. Instant messaging, Twitter and Facebook enable social networking where ideas and work experiences are readily and routinely shared. Wikis allow company teams to generate new knowledge and dynamically collaborate even though members live on different continents and in different time zones. Adobe Connect and Cisco’s telepresence systems allow professionals to meet “person-to-person” in “real time” without physically traveling, thus, being more efficient and reducing an organization’s carbon footprint.\nWhile technology holds a promise of a more sustainable and globally networked future, it can also be a threat to such goals. People can become part of an “organizational machine” that never stops. Boundaries between work and personal time can be lost. This can affect the quality of work life and the health of individuals and communities. How can technology be deployed in organizations in a sustainable manner? How can it be utilized so it does not dehumanize workers and impoverish local communities and world societies?\nThe initial step in answering these questions is to identify a set of principles to guide the design of organizational systems that utilize ICCT. A sociotechnical perspective, understanding people and technology as components of one system, can serve as a fine analytical lens. Foundational principles to this viewpoint are:\n- The workplace is a domain in which people actively participate in developing their own work environment. Emphasis is placed on utilizing the appropriate work processes and technology that enhance both workers’ performance and their job satisfaction. Attention is paid to the quality of the work experience.\n- The contemporary organization is a physical and virtual entity that weaves people and technology into an adaptive system while respecting the dignity, physical health, and psychological well-being of the worker. Promoting work-life balance is also a high priority. Technological applications seek to enhance organizational operations and the quality of the work environment. Rooted in users’ particular work styles and needs, they assist in establishing an empowering work environment that fosters ingenuity and builds a creative interdependence between, for example, co-workers or external organizational partners.\n- Society thoughtfully participates in the design and application of technology, understands its advantages and disadvantages, identifies harmful ramifications, and addresses negative aspects prior to deployment. In this manner, society proactively helps to ensure that organizational ICCT is deployed in a healthy manner.\nSuch a human-centric and sustainable approach to technology applications can aid organizations to utilize ICCT for its highest purpose—the improvement of the human condition and the enhancement of the quality of all life.\nNOTE: This post was first published by the blog, Triple Pundit, on December 20, 2010.", "char_count": 5009, "token_count": 1252, "k_exact": 3.2849, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9306, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Talking about McGill University's social usergroup in the Newsletter was invented by Army of GOD on February 8th, 2010. Plug-ins and Addons: Assault Odds by Minister Masket\nSo you've come round to the fact that you're not being cheated by the dice. Excellent. Now you want to get down to the business of winning all those games you joined. Unfortunately, the luck factor means you can't win every game, but there are things you can do to increase your chances. Take the \" Assault Odds\" calculator for example. Now before I start (and if you're interested), do open up the link at the bottom in a new tab or window, because - like the Dice Analyser - it's fairly visual based, so you'll understand the description better if you're looking at the thing. Done? Good. For starters, ignore everything but the top three rows. This is the \"Quick Calculator\" part, and it very handily calculates the odds of success against your opponent(s), as opposed to you doing a quick number-crunch in your head and then subsequentially wondering where it all went wrong. Take the example already there on the calculator. An attacking army of 5 against a defending one of 3 has a 64.2% chance of success. The calculator automatically saves your entries to save you typing them out again, and if you need more, you can click the \"Add Calc\" button just underneath to add more blank rows. You even get a grand total percentage of winning all the battles you add in. Now what is that comma doing seperating the 8 and the 4 in the second row? Well that's how you add armies from different territories to the calculation, and it works with defenders too. Below this we have the \"Pathfinder\" section. Whereas the QC works best for single battles, the Pathfinder calculates your odds of successfully attacking a sequence of territories in the same turn. So firstly you choose the territory you're attacking from from the dropdown menu, then add your army number in brackets. Then you choose the valid bordering territory and add it's defenders. This one step will calculate the odds anyway, and you can add your next moves in the rows below. When you're done, you'll be presented with a total percentage of your chance of winning the lot. Finally, at the bottom we have the \"Statistics\" part. This will use your calculation from the QC part to tell you how many of your attackers are likely to survive, both in \"minimum\" and \"exactly\" columns. Don't get too attached to this part though. They are just numbers after all, not real soldiers. And that's it.

Valentine's Day Advice CC Style by FoxMists\nEarly last year\na.sub started a thread in General Discussion to work on his pick up lines. (Don’t lie, we all know you were really just looking for tips!) I found this to be an interesting idea and delved into what I thought would be moderately amusing and at least give me a heads up for the real desperate sorts that need this sort of help. Well, I was wrong. I was so very wrong. It was not moderately amusing. It was bloody hilarious and as lame as a one legged rabbit (hey! Not that kind of leg, you pervert!). And you know, it’s that time of year! Valentine’s Day! So I now present to you some of the more memorable pickup lines I came across. ( This will also help you avoid certain… people… if you know what I mean) It turned out that some keywords (and names) were practically required usage. \"Want to go back to my place and auto-assault?\" AndyDufresne “Hi there, I'm KingHerpes Free.” Jpcloet (Honestly “freestyle” was probably the most common. So common that I couldn’t force myself to add them here… Seriously. Painful.) And then there were the creative sorts: “Map Edition Sweetie, I know you are wondering where our relation is headed, and I've had 8 Thoughts about it. I would like to enter your Forbidden City, but don't want to move too fast causing you to Duck and Cover. This may sound like Madness, but please let me Land, and Sea where it takes us. You have shown me a New World of romance, I used to always just Battle for a rack. We've already tried a manage a trois, so maybe we can Conquer 4 and listen to the Wales. And if you were my Spanish buddy, I would want to Rail you, ese. What? I've been too vulgar? Baby don't go! Okay, well I will CCU later...” sully800 (We are now taking donations for the “Hobbies 4 Sully” fund!) Some people were kinda cute with their lameness. This was much appreciated. “How would you like to travel world together? I was thinking maybe E2, S3 or A12, as they are all so beautiful this time of year.” Jpcloet “It'll be worth the 72 hour ban for the things I want to say and do to you.” GENERAL STONEHAM \"Babe, I'm not like the other guys. I don't nuke all over myself.\" AndyDufresne “You're the rainbow in my spoils...” MrBenn “my cards arent the only things that are escalating right now ” a.sub And we can’t forget the ladies! Top two from the girls? “ whoops, sorry baby, was a slip of the finger on the button\" clapper011 (We’re guessing she has heard this line before ) AND, “Hey big guy, if you're UP for it, come over here and show me how good you are at Escalating..” Robinette Well. You gotta love a girl that knows what she wants, huh? If y’all are into self-torture, are ridiculously bored, or just plain sadistic, jump over to the thread and share the wealth! Your lameness will be noted and appreciated by others just like you! A Newt's Tale by elfish_lad\nThe Attack of the Clicky-Spiders A couple of months ago I wrote about wanting to expand my horizons from 1v1 Speed Crack (Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!) to team games and game variants. Some call them mutants. The game variants even. It's been an interesting couple of months. Here is an example: I am 8 unique wins away from my first freestyle medal. Which doesn't sound that hard... except that I really, really suck at freestyle and haven't gotten the hang of clickies. At all. Cause I suck. Especially on my laptop. With the small screen. And the stupid mouse pad. And the adrenaline kicks in and then I attack a neutral by mistake after deploying my troops 450 kilometers from where I intended and then I fort 3 senior citizens to their Retirement Villa on an island on the other side of the world, well away from any possible danger. At least with clickies I suck really, really quickly. The Elf's First Date But there was another interesting development recently - I was invited to join a clan. Here is how I think that transpired: I was in a late night speed dubs game with some random dude (another aspect of expanding my horizons) and we were getting smoked. Badly. You know those games. Nothing goes right. Oh, you can blame the dice or whatever, but you just know, deep down, at the back of your primordial cortex, no matter what you do, the fates are against you and soon that big dinosaur is going to be using your femur as a tooth pick. Or your primordial spouse is going to bash your head in with that special pointy rock you found. Either way. End of story. But then The Elf is smacked with the inspiration stick. It doesn't usually work that way. Usually I'm in charge of the stupid stick. That night, even after my random partner was removed from the field of battle, we hammered the other team back and won. Thrilling. Seriously. Here was the other team's response to our come-from-behind victory: \"fuuuu...dge\" It was brief but heart felt I'm sure. Right on suckers! Coming out of that game I think my random partner from that night figured I was good. And handed my name over to a clan leader looking for a good player. Instead they got me. The guy with the stupid stick. But since I didn't have any other invites to the prom I said sure. I hope they don't think I'm a cheap lay! 'Cause I'm not cheap. Kindergarten Zombies Now, this is no reflection on my clan-mates. At all. There are some great players in our clan, including our leader, but I would not be surprised if, in my brief tenure with them, I have recorded only a couple of wins in clan games. But as our clan has been rebuilding and adding a number of mid-ranked players like me here is what I think was happening in our first few games together: we were all reliving the first week of Kindergarten. Your mom drops you off. Another woman with those breast things is there but she doesn't even remotely smell like your mom. You cry for 25 minutes. You realize suddenly that you have just peed your pants. You punch another little boy in the head who just peed himself and won't stop crying. You take a nap. Eat some paint. And as Post My-Parents-Are-Never-Coming-Back Syndrome sets in, you sit on the carpet with 22 other traumatized youngsters, as if you are bit players in a \"Dawn of the CC Dead\" movie. Moaning, gnawing and drooling ensue. Then you break for lunch. I figure our clan will get better. We just need to eat more finger paint together. Not An Intergalactic Kegger?!?! And all of this leads me to my closing observation: there really are no short-cuts here at CC to being a good clan, or a good team, or a well rounded gamer. Just a lot of games and a lot of working things out. This was brought home to be by a partner in a dubs tournament recently. I made some initial moves and my partner sent me a very helpful PM afterward. In the message he/she laid out some different strategies critiquing some of my early moves. Pretty helpful stuff and in hindsight I realized that I should have seen this myself. But more importantly it was his/her closing words that really struck me: Five. Percent. When I first got here I would have figured that was nothing. After being in The Pit for six months now? Five Percent? Man. That is the world. doing it this way could increase your win % on this map by 5%. Huh. Maybe, just maybe, someday The Elf will give up the stupid stick for good! ~sees the skeptical stares~ Well. An Elf and dream can't he?!?! That's it for me. Off to eat some more finger paint! E. More Nukes by stahrgazer\nAbout those nukes... I mean,\nNuclear Spoils. As players investigate the option, some find the setting disturbingly luck based, some find it requires strategy, and others are still choosing to avoid them as though they're afraid of radioactive fallout. For example, the Conqueror's Cup inter-clan tournament is disallowing nuclear spoils, the same as freestyle and speed settings have been disallowed for previous Clan Ladders. Please do not be confused; the Cup is not part of the Clan Ladder, although there exists a potential that the games will count in the ladder. But back to Nuclear Spoils and a few more facts. With this setting, it becomes more apparent that random deals cards like it does the dice: sometimes a terr comes in batches. Whatever terrs are on the map are part of the entire pool, so it is possible for one terr to show up several times in a game, and even possible for the same terr to show up in several or all players' hands; the odds are the same for any card at any time in the game, although I have yet to hear of one player getting the same card twice in one hand. Another interesting point about Nuclear Spoils is that the in-game statistics reveal more than the log will tell you immediately upon blasting an opponent (or oneself) off the map. The log will merely indicate that a territory was nuked, but the stats display immediately shows the number of territories, now reduced by one because of the nuke. The log will not indicate the terr-count change until the player takes the next turn. There are those who believe this is unfair, or untrue to the intention of the stats, which were placed, prior to the Nuclear Spoils setting, with the intention of revealing no more than the log will indicate. Now, the log may be behind the stats for as much as a full round (if you have unfortunately had to nuke yourself); but eventually the log will catch up to the stats display, indicating that the player who had 12 terrs at the start of his previous turn has 11 terrs at the start of the current turn. Is a one-round (maximum) difference enough to make you wish to change something? If so, you can visit the Nuclear Spoils thread and make your point known. I, on the other hand, believe this to be not much different than the ability to read an \"owned\" terr being cashed in a fog game; because of the +2 extra deploy, the log reveals information the ?? leaves in..errrr...question: which terrs does an opponent own? While the stats will display the terrcount, the stats do not indicate which terrs, but that bonus recipient lets one say, \"Aha! Now I know where you are!\" Granted, in that instance, the information is immediate upon the cash but.. well.. the stats info on nuclear spoils is equally immediate upon the cash. The stats were not intended to reveal more than the log; fog setting was intended to make only the number of terrs readable by the log. In both instances, cashing a card can reveal a little more information than was originally intended. And? So? To Nuke or not to Nuke, that is the question. Only you can answer it, for yourself. Bon Bombarding! The Invasion by Deathcomesrippin\nFor those of us who have suffered through bad dice, this one's for you....\nThe Invasion Day 7, Dakar Blue looked out over the shoreline. For the last two days, he had been camped here, with five other blues, awaiting instructions. Africa had been secured a few days ago, and the borders set. Across the stretch of ocean, an entire army of red sat at Sao Paulo, unaware of the plans of the warlords who ran the Great Blue War Machine. On day 5, Blue had been a part of the final push to move Green out of the African mainland completely, although word was they had secured Australia, which could prove to be a thorn in their side for the rest of this damned war. His commanding officer, Blue, had mentioned something to the effect of Flaming going on in some chat between Red and Green. Blue Command was looking to capitalize on this, and hoped to be able to place small amounts of reinforcements on Dakar until the time was right. Then, if all went according to plan, there would be a large influx of six, possibly SEVEN, reinforcements, and the true assault on the bastion of Red would begin. A squawk came over the loudspeakers set up over camp, informing all of the troops that it was time to change the watch. Blue looked one last time towards the ocean, wondering what was in store for him in the next few days. Day 10, Dakar: invasion of Sao Paulo The rumble of the motor came from all around him, causing Blue to think for a moment he was in some sort of living hell. The sides of the plane reverberated with rattling of the stores of ammo, foodstuffs, and other such items, creating a cacophony of clanging and banging. Blue Sergeant stood tall, and told the men about him that this moment would be the turning point, the first of many defeats for their enemies across the water, Red. All told, there were 14 blues on board, a frightening army considering Red's defences was a paltry 6. They were caught completely off guard by this assault. Whispers ran through the ranks of Red being led by a n00b general, a Cook maybe. Blue Command, of course, would never verify those rumours, but a refusal to answer was good enough for the troops. Blue gathered his gear. The final light went off, and the rear door of the plane opened. Below them, there was a field of green, the jungles of South America flowing past. Sao Paulo was lit up like a gigantic casino, flood lights crowding the air searching for the first signs of the enemy incursion. Then, all of a sudden (or so it seemed to Blue), the city was below them, and the order was given. Without another thought, Blue leapt clear of the plane, and freefell into his glory. Combat Results (14 v 6)- RED VICTORIOUS 4, 3, 3 - 6, 4- 2 Blue losses (The screams of the dying will be a sound Blue always remembers…..) 2, 1, 1 - 4, 4- 2 Blue losses (“Dear god, more of them….WHY WON’T THEY JUST DIE?”) 5, 3, 3 - 3, 3- 1 Blue loss, 1 Red loss (“Finally, the turning point. I hope this is where it ends...”) 1, 1, 1 - 6, 2- 2 Blue losses (“Blue’s dead, and Blue, and I saw Blue go down earlier….”) 6, 6, 5 - 6, 5- 1 Blue loss, 1 Red loss (“FALL BACK!!! FALL BACK TO THE BEACH!!!”) 5, 5, 2 - 6, 6- 2 Blue losses (“Blue and Blue were killed in the retreat, sir. Final casualties are still coming in.”) Blue was covered in blue gore. All about him, the bodies of his comrades, blues he had known for his entire life, were scattered like so many dice across a game board. The few left had been lead back to the shore, where they awaited the rescue ship. The fighting had been fierce, but even with overwhelming numbers, It was a lost cause. Out of the 14 who had travelled with Blue, he saw only three and himself. Red, on the other hand, now had an equal number, having only lost two. The first thought for Blue was frustration. The frustration of knowing you had lost, and also, that it might be a loss that you might not come back from. Blue Command was compromised, their troops for the front and borders spent of this assault. Already Green had been making overtures into Europe, and Red was crawling across North America. A bullet snapped sand into Blues' face, waking him out of his daydreaming. He raised his weapon and returned fire, the small sandbar he was by providing meagre cover. The other blues all had the same forlorn look on their faces, like dogs which had lost their masters. Blue hoped his didn't look like that, too. More bullets flew past, and Blue realized Red was making a push. This was it, his final moment. Blue prepared himself, shook the cobwebs out of his head, and tensed his legs for a spring over the sandbar. As he lifted himself up, a blue grabbed his shoulder and pointed out over the ocean. The rescue ship was approaching, slowly yet surely. Day 14, Nairobi Blue stood aside four other blues, the last of his men. Blue Command had given up long ago, and there was talk from the others about going rogue, or \"neutral\" as it was called by some. Blue didn't think less of them for this. After the epic failure of the invasion of Sao Paulo, Red followed through with an assault that pushed aside the meagre defences left in place at Dakar. Slowly, Red pushed further into Africa, taking Cape Town and Johannesburg, then Cairo. Now, only one area stood, Nairobi. The last word heard from the Blue General was \"Red’s Foed\". To the east, in Dubai, a sizable army of Green camped, awaiting orders from their enigmatic leader. To the west, the deadly west, a large force of Red sat at Cairo, looking on with a bit of pity on what was left of the once great Blue Empire. Blue looked back at his men, and at the approaching horde. End game.\nDuring the last couple weeks of 2009,\ncollected nominations for the\nBest Tournament of 2009\n.

Hopefully there will be many exciting ones during 2010.\nThis issue features a pop-quiz that\npulled on 5 tournament organizers along with some of the tournaments currently taking sign-ups. Enjoy!\nTournament Pop-Quiz by amazzony\nThey have had their battles in numerous tournaments; now I decided to test their skill in a quiz. We have 5 participants who agreed to be part of the friendly battle: Tournament Legend\n[OP], unique tournament titan Optimus Prime [Bart], excellent Tournament Director barterer2002 [Lx], top tournament organizers/winners Lindax [HA] and HighlanderAttack [Blitz]. Don't take the results too seriously, it's just a fun quiz where I asked everybody to answer honestly and not use help of forums/friends. If it was done, stays on their conscience and following data is also added just for statistics (which is also considered the biggest lie by some) and not for serious conclusions. What I know is that HA answered me 3 minutes after opening his message, OP Blitzaholic maximum 10 minutes after opening it, Lx took about 25 minutes to answer, Bart maximum 30 minutes and Blitz a bit under 4 hours. These are the questions that I asked and in the brackets is the amount of points received for correct answer(s). Who is the Head Tournament Director?  How many different tournament tags are currently used?  Name Top 3 of Multiple Tournament Winners! [max. 3 - 1 for each name] Name Top 3 of Most Tournament Games Created! [max. 3 - 1 for each name] Name Top 3 of Most Tournaments Completed! [max. 3 - 1 for each name] Name Top 3 of Most Tournament Games Played! [max. 3 - 1 for each name] What type of tournaments have been organised the most besides Standard?  What is the date (month+year) when first 2 tournaments were completed?  What is the date (month+year) when most tournaments were completed? What was the number of tournament completed? [2 - 1 for date, 1 for number of tournaments] Here are the correct answers which are taken from Tournament Hall of Fame [HoF], this topic and Blitz's Tourney LOVERS - most games. Maximum points that can be collected is 18. Night Strike 11 or 3 (as I formed the question badly then there can be 2 answers to this questions: either 11 tags from HoF or 3 tags for joining games: to/tot/game) Blitzaholic, HighlanderAttack, killmanic barterer2002, JoJo123, Optimus Prime barterer2002, HighlanderAttack, Blitzaholic HighlanderAttack, acores2005, amazzony Doubles March 2006 November 2009; 99 (December 2009 is also counted correct because it was mentioned in Issue 23 of the Newsletter that most likely December will beat all previous months).

The melting pot seems more active than ever and the first maps begin to advance through the new process.\nTalking about the process, in this issue, the second part of the Foundry special about the gameplay workshop. Then, we travel again through the History to discover the \"hidden story\" behind one of the maps on Conquer Club. Finally, as always, the maps currently in development.\nVancouver Competition The Winter Olympics come every four years and are a showcase of athleticism. They bring out the best in athletes striving for a bit of gold. In just a few short days, the torch will arrive in Vancouver and the games will begin. From Cyprus mountain to the Pacific Coliseum, the Olympics will also showcase the best of Vancouver, a fine city, worthy of hosting such an event. In order to celebrate this event, the CC foundry is having an contest of its own. Recently, the Vancouver map was put into live play, but now it is having a bit of a revamp. While the original map is a beautiful piece of artwork, the boys in blue thought that it should be spiced up for the games. A contest is being held where mapmakers can take the original Vancouver map, and make it Olympic themed. The winning map will temporarily replace the current Vancouver map in order to coincide with the 2010 Winter Olympics. You can find more information about the contest here. You can find info about the Olympics here. Foundry Twitter feed Are you always seeking the latest news about the foundry? Don't you want to miss anything foundry related?

Third Crusade Map The last update was well received by the community and the new bonuses seem well balanced. With already more than 3000 finished games, the map was finally moved into the viewing gallery. Congratulations to Kabanellas and AndrewB Foundry Special - The Gameplay Workshop by natty_dread\nIntroduction In my last article, I went through the Melting Pot forum where maps are born. In this article we will be focusing on the next step of a map's journey from idea to live play, which is the Gameplay Workshop. Gameplay is probably the most important aspect of a map. A map with balanced and interesting gameplay, even if it is not so interesting graphically, can be a success. But a map with stunning graphics and inferior gameplay will probably be a lot less popular. Of course, the Foundry tries to focus on both aspects of every map. How to start When a map moves from the Melting pot into the Gameplay Workshop, the real development of the map begins. In this phase, most maps already have a clear idea of the direction of development the map is going to take, and a version of the map with all major gameplay features included: territories, bonus areas, legend... In the Gameplay workshop, the whole structure of the map may change several times. This is where the details are honed into perfection. For a beginner mapmaker, the concept may seem frustrating, but it is a necessary part of the Foundry process. First things to consider when designing gameplay for a map are: the number of territories, bonus values, size and amount of bonus areas... which all amount to one thing really: balanced gameplay. Balancing gameplay Balanced gameplay means that games should not be decided by the drop. For example, if you have 48 territories on a map and play a 4 player game, the first one to play his turn will have a clear advantage, as everyone starts with 12 territories, and the first to go can knock one or more players below the limit. But there is more to balancing the gameplay than just deciding the amount of territories on a map. The bonus values need to be considered, and for this several bonus calculators have been developed. Of course the bonus calculator does not give you the absolute truth, and common sense should be used. But it gives the mapmaker an idea where to start. The structure of the map also needs to be considered. Too many bottlenecks for example are not good, but neither is a too open playing field. What can I do to help When it comes to leaving feedback to maps in the Gameplay workshop, mapmakers of course appreciate when you keep your comments to the gameplay side, and ignore the graphics for now. It is not exactly wrong to give comments on the graphics, but gameplay feedback will surely be a lot more appreciated at this point. When giving feedback, think of the map as it would already be in live play. Try to imagine how the gameplay would work on the current version of the map. If you can see any flaws, the mapmaker will surely appreciate you pointing them out, as long as it is done in a polite manner. Iancanton, a moderator in charge of the Gameplay Workshop, has the following to say about leaving gameplay feedback: iancanton wrote:\nAll foundrygoers will have noticed that the main foundry has been split into two workshops: gameplay and graphics. There hasn't been much change of policy, since most maps needed to have the gameplay approved already before the graphics evaluations took place. The split simply makes clearer the current focus of the map: if a map's in the gameplay workshop, then comments on gameplay are most helpful.\nWhat's good gameplay feedback? If you're unsure, then have a look first at the guide to giving feedback that's in the\ntutorials and guides\nsection of the foundry.\nEarly feedback is welcomed by every mapmaker, to prevent him from wasting his time developing something along the wrong lines.\nIf something is wrong with the gameplay, then try to be helpful by suggesting a solution, if you can. The earlier this type of comment comes, the better!\ngameplayfeedback wrote:i live in ruritania. there are no mountains in the western part of the map gameplayfeedback wrote:48 regions is a bad number for 4-player games. can u merge this and that? gameplayfeedback wrote:let the ship bombard all of the ports, which are too powerful gameplayfeedback wrote:make the auto-deploys start neutral gameplayfeedback wrote:the bonuses are unbalanced. there are too many small bonus zones in the north\nNot so useful in the gameplay workshop are comments on things that don't relate so much to gameplay. It might sound obvious, but graphics adjustments are best made in the graphics workshop, after the mapmaker knows that the gameplay won't be changing much. Graphics ideas are still welcome, but be aware that the mapmaker may choose to do difficult or substantial graphics changes after he has the gameplay stamp, so that he doesn't have to redraw a fantastic work of art several times just because of gameplay fixes.\nnotgameplay wrote:the borders are pixellated notgameplay wrote:try using a font which looks more medieval notgameplay wrote:put the legend in a wooden frame Now, with all this, you should have a pretty good idea how to help mapmakers who are working on the gameplay of their map. I'd like to urge every one of my readers to visit the Gameplay Workshop, and browse the map threads. See maps that you like? See maps that you don't like? Give them feedback!

ROUTE 66 - ROLLING STONES LYRICS wrote:e Well if you ever plan to motor west Just take my way that's the highway that's the best Get your kicks on Route 66 U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway, and as \"Main Street of America\" or the \"Mother Road\") was one of the original U.S. highways, Route 66, US Highway 66, was established on November 11, 1926. The famous highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, encompassing a total of 2,448 miles. It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup and performed by the Nat King Cole Trio and The Rolling Stones, among others) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s. More recently, the 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars featured U.S. 66. Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica. US 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name \"Historic Route 66\". It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been re-designated \"State Route 66\", and others bear \"Historic Route 66\" signs and relevant historic information. Over the years, U.S. Route 66 received many nicknames. Right after Route 66 was commissioned, it was known as \"The Great Diagonal Way\" because the Chicago-to-Oklahoma City stretch ran northeast to southwest. Later, Route 66 was advertised by the U.S. Highway 66 Association as \"The Main Street of America\". The title had also been claimed by supporters of U.S. Route 40, but the Route 66 group was more successful. In the John Steinbeck novel The Grapes of Wrath, the highway is called \"The Mother Road\", its prevailing title today. Lastly, Route 66 was unofficially named \"The Will Rogers Highway\" by the U.S. Highway 66 Association in 1952, although a sign along the road with that name appeared in the John Ford film, The Grapes of Wrath, which was released in 1940, twelve years before the association gave the road that name. A plaque dedicating the highway to Will Rogers is still located in Santa Monica, California. Map of Route Route 66 overlaid on Google Maps Route 66 Museum in Clinton, Oklahoma The Birth and Death of Route 66 In 1857, Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale, a Naval officer in the service of the U.S. Army Topographical Corps, was ordered by the War Department to build a government-funded wagon road across the 35th Parallel. This road became part of U.S. Route 66. Officially, the numerical designation 66 was assigned to the Chicago-to-Los Angeles route in the summer of 1926. With that designation came its acknowledgment as one of the nation's principal east–west arteries. From the outset, public road planners intended U.S. 66 to connect the main streets of rural and urban communities along its course for the most practical of reasons: most small towns had no prior access to a major national thoroughfare. Wigwam motel #6 in Holbrook, AZ. Championed by Tulsa, Oklahoma businessman Cyrus Avery when the first talks about a national highway system began, US 66 was first signed into law in 1927 as one of the original U.S. Highways, although it was not completely paved until 1938. Avery was adamant that the highway have a round number and had proposed number 60 to identify it. A controversy erupted over the number 60. Ultimately Avery settled on \"66\" (which was unassigned) because he thought the double-digit number would be easy to remember as well as pleasant to say and hear. After the new federal highway system was officially created, Avery called for the establishment of the U.S. Highway 66 Association to promote the complete paving of the highway from end to end and to promote travel down the highway. Traffic grew on the highway because of the geography through which it passed. Much of the highway was essentially flat and this made the highway a popular truck route. The route passed through numerous small towns, and with the growing traffic on the highway, helped create the rise of mom-and-pop businesses, such as service stations, restaurants, and motor courts, all readily accessible to passing motorists. Due to the efforts of the US Highway 66 Association, Route 66 became the first highway to be completely paved in 1938. Several places were dangerous: more than one part of the highway was nicknamed \"Bloody 66\" and gradually work was done to realign these segments to remove dangerous curves. However, one section just outside Oatman, Arizona was fraught with hairpin turns and was the steepest along the entire route remained as part of Route 66 until 1953. Despite such hazards in some areas, Route 66 continued to be a popular route. During World War II, Route 66, already popular and fully paved, became one of the main routes and also served for moving military equipment. Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri was located near the highway. During its nearly 60-year existence, Route 66 was under constant change. As highway engineering became more sophisticated, engineers constantly sought more direct routes between cities and towns. Increased traffic led to a number of major and minor realignments of US 66 through the years, particularly in the years immediately following World War II when Illinois began widening US 66 to four lanes through virtually the entire state from Chicago to the Mississippi River just east of St. Louis, Missouri, and included bypasses around virtually all of the towns. By the early-to-mid 1950s, Missouri also upgraded its sections of US 66 to four lanes complete with bypasses. Most of the newer four-lane 66 paving in both states was upgraded to freeway status in later years. In 1953, the first major bypassing of US 66 occurred in Oklahoma with the opening of the Turner Turnpike between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The new 88-mile toll road paralleled US 66 for its entire length and bypassed each of the towns along 66. In some cases the new interstate highway not only paralleled the old Route 66, it actually incorporated much of it. In New Mexico, as in most other states, rural sections of I-40 were to be constructed first with bypasses around cities to come later. However, some business and civic leaders in cities along US 66 were completely opposed to bypassing fearing loss of business and tax revenues. In 1963, the New Mexico Legislature enacted legislation that banned the construction of interstate bypasses around cities by local request. This legislation was short-lived, however, due to pressures from Washington and threat of loss of federal highway funds so it was rescinded by 1965. Originally, highway officials planned for the last section of US 66 to be bypassed by interstates in Texas, but as was the case in many places, lawsuits held up construction of the new interstates. The state of Missouri officially requesting the designation \"Interstate 66\" for the St. Louis to Oklahoma City section of the route, but it was denied. In 1984, Arizona also saw its final stretch of highway decommissioned with the completion of Interstate 40 just north of Williams, Arizona. Finally, with desertification of the highway by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials the following year, U.S. Route 66 officially ceased to exist. Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In Life After Death Some states have kept the 66 designation for parts of the highway, albeit as state roads. In Missouri, Routes 366, 266, and 66 are all original sections of the highway. State Highway 66 in Oklahoma remains as the alternate \"free\" route near its turnpikes. \"Historic Route 66\" runs for a significant distance in and near Flagstaff, Arizona. A surface street stretch between San Bernardino and La Verne to the east of Los Angeles retains its number as State Route 66. The First Route 66 associations were founded in Arizona in 1987 and Missouri in 1989. Other groups in the other Route 66 states soon followed. In 1990, the state of Missouri declared Route 66 in that state a \"State Historic Route\". The first \"Historic Route 66\" marker in Missouri was erected on Kearney Street at Glenstone Avenue in Springfield, Missouri. Other historic markers now line the entire 2,400 mile length of road. Many preservation groups have also tried to save and even tried to landmark the old motels and neon signs along the road in different states. In 1999 the National Route 66 Preservation Bill was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, which provided for $10 mln in matching fund grants for preserving and restoring the historic features along the route. In 2008, The World Monuments Fund added Route 66 to its World Monuments Watch list of 100 Most Endangered Sites. Sites along the route, such as gas stations, motels, cafes, trading posts, and drive-in movie theaters are threatened by development in urban areas, and by abandonment and decay in rural areas. As the popularity and mythical stature of Route 66 has continued to grow, demands have begun to mount to improve signage, return Route 66 to road atlases and revive its status as a continuous routing. Along these lines Route 66 has been established as a National Scenic Byway in Illinois, Arizona and New Mexico with National Scenic Byway status pending in Oklahoma and Missouri as of 2007.

As I write about clan wars, I find myself spending more and more time in the “completed challenges” forum, where I have learned a good deal about our clans. In preparing my rankings, I found that the first two spots were easy to fill based on available information. Spots 3-7 seemed to meld together at first and so I had to add more criteria to help me order them. Spots 8-10 were the hardest to fill, there were at least two or three clans that I had to leave off, who perhaps should have made it. So here are the criteria I used to decide who the best clans on CC are: 1. Clan war record. This gives a good indication of how good a clan has been over the life of the clan. 2. Current CLA Season 2 record for the league. This is a good indicator of how good a clan is at the moment, albeit not a perfect indicator. Most of my top 10 list was derived from these two factors and from my own experiences playing these clans. 3. Who the clans won or lost to in clan challenges. 4. Input from experienced clan players. This is important because there are things that I will not have gotten around to looking at, for example people leaving or joining a clan. 5. Win percentage in clan wars. This becomes important when you have two clans who seem very equal. AOD for example lost a clan war to IA by a score of 11-9, that is a lot different then loosing 16-4 and so should not count so strongly against them. Now without further ado, here is (in my opinion) the top ten clans on CC. Top 10 Clans on CC: 1. THOTA THOTA has a 7-0 record in clan wars, by far the best of anyone. Three of their wins were against top ranked opponents. 32-28 over LOW, 53-47 over Imperial Dragoons and 41-19 over Generation 1. The rest are lesser known clans, but its worth noting that their victory over Death by committee was by a score of 35-5. THOTA is also the champion in the first season of the CLA League. 2. TSM The Spanking Monkeys have a 3-0 record, all against top clans. They have defeated The Legion 25-15, Immortal Assassins 22-18 and LOW 34-26. LOW has kind of been the gateway to the top spots, if one could defeat them, then that clan would be ranked in the top 2 or 3 spots. All three of these have been traditionally considered top 10 clans, although The Legion has lost some good players very recently and will not make this top 10 list. The Spanking Monkeys are also leading division 1B in CLA Season 2 at the time of printing. 3. The Odd Fellows Union TOFU has a 3-0 record over some very good clans. They have defeated The Imperial Dragoons 24-16 and Generation 1 25-15. Their third win came over Mythology by a margin of 30-10. I was hesitant to place TOFU so high on the list however because of the fact that they were placed in Division 2 in CLA League. However they have absolutely dominated division 2A (winning 83% of their games!), in a division that includes O&H, EE, and Divine Domination (more on DD below). 4. Immortal Assassins The Immortal Assassins have a 3-1 record in clan wars, including defeats over AOD and BPB. Their only loss is to TSM (above). IA is also in second place in division 1A in this season’s CLA League, ahead of THOTA who is in third place and behind KORT. 5. Legends of War Their 5 wins are pretty impressive. They won a 36-24 match over Empire (ranked 6th on this list) and a 16-8 win over The Untouchables, who would have been considered for the top 10 if the clan were still in existence. LOW also defeated G1 28-12, and crushed PE 25-5. LOW had a record of 5-2 up till recently. Their only losses had come at the hands of the top 2 clans on this list; THOTA 32-28 and TSM 34-26 and are in second place in division 1B, only a half game behind TSM. With all this they might have been 3rd or 4th out of the top 10, however they were recently defeated, and quite soundly, by O&H (see issue 24 of The CC dispatch). With this 3rd loss, many no longer consider LOW to be at the very top. However, as their defeat of Empire, and their cla performance shows, LOW is still a clan to be taken seriously and that is why they earned my number 5 spot. 6. Empire Empire has an impressive 7-1 record including wins over The Legion, The Imperial Dragoons, Nemesis, BSS and a somewhat underrated Agents of Chaos. Empire blasted Nemesis 41-23 handing them their first loss. There are a few other blowout wins, AOC 38-22, The Worlds of the Wort 15-5, however other wins were not so impressive. Empire defeated Black Sheep Squadron 21-19 and The Legion by an even smaller margin 16-15. None the less, had it not been for their loss to LOW, Empire might be ranked in the top 3. Empire has also not been that impressive in CLA League, they currently have a 34-35 record and are 4th place in division 1A. Not an embarrassment by any means, considering that the clan above them in 3rd place is THOTA. Divisions 1A and 1B are filled with most of the best clans on CC, however to be ranked in the top 5 a clan has to be able to shine against this top competition. Empire gets 6th place for me. 7. Knights of the Round Table The Knights of the Round Table seemed to be an all-star team in the making. They recruited many top players and were expected to take the clan world by storm (much in the way that TOFU has). They are leading division 1A, an impressive feat, above IA, THOTA and Empire, however their clan wars have not been as impressive. KORT has a record of 1-0-1. Their first clan war ended in a 15-15 tie against Generation 1, a 3-5-1 clan with most of its losses coming to top clans. KORT came back to win their next clan war over The Brethren of the Fat Mermaid, (see issue 23 of The CC Dispatch) with a score that is currently listed at 38-17 with 5 games still not recorded. The Brethren are a good clan, with players like BoganGod and Draq, however with an 0-3 record it is hard to gauge the value of KORT’s victory over them. For these reasons KORT gets 7th place. Cla aside, they still have not proven themselves to be top 5 quality. 8. Nemesis After jotting down my top 7 clans, it became more difficult to decide who would get the last three spots. So I made a spreadsheet with a few columns. I put a check in one column for every clan that had a winning record in clan wars. Next I put a check next to every clan that had a winning record in CLA. One thing jumped out at me. There were only two clans who were not already on my top 10 list, who had both winning clan records and winning records in the current season of CLA. One was Nemesis, the other was Agents of Chaos (more on them below). Nemesis has a 3-1 record with wins over Mythology, Imperial Britain and Left4Dead; their only loss coming to Empire (above). They also have a 36-28 record in CLA League, good for 4th place in division 1B. 9. Angels of Death Angels of Death (formerly LOD) has an 9-4 record. Their 9 wins are all over mid-level clans, The Brethren or Mythology perhaps being the best of the bunch. Their losses however are mostly to good clans. They were beaten handily 37-23 by The Imperial Dragoons, however their other losses were all nail biters. They lost 23-22 against G1 and 11-9 against IA! Not a bad showing. Their other loss was a 5-4 loss to Freemium Forces in a 9 game clan war which probably should not count. AOD clearly deserves a spot in the top 10 with this record. However their CLA League performance has been less than stellar, 31-33 in division 1A. For this reason, and the absence of any victories over top ranked clans, AOD gets a 9th place rank from me. 10. Imperial Dragoons This was the toughest clan to place on this list. The Imperial Dragoons have a 3-3 record, the only clan on this list that isn't over .500. Surely I couldn’t put ID above Empire (6-1) who defeated ID. Perhaps I could have put them above AOD, who ID had defeated. ID’s losses were all to top clans, THOTA, TOFU and Empire. Their wins were over AOD, Skyforce and a 13 game win over Murder Inc. Overall not bad, and they beat AOD by a margin of 37-23. They also lost to THOTA 53-47, a pretty good showing. However to be considered a top clan one has to win. It’s hard to put a 3-3 clan above a 9-4 clan. Also, ID has a 32-37 record in CLA division 1A, good for 5th place in that division. This tells me that perhaps ID is not as good as they have been in the past. However should they win their current challenge against IA (it's tied at 15-15), I would have to bump them up a couple of spots on the list, perhaps even above KORT. Honorable Mentions: BPB The Bullet Proof Bandits have had an impressive showing in the CLA League, currently 39-25 and in 3rd place in division 1B. On the other hand, their clan war record is a pedestrian 1-1. They have a win over BSS, nothing to sneeze at, but only by a margin of 21-19. Their loss came at the hands of IA, a clan that I think very highly of. In the end two clan challenges just weren't enough to put them above AOD or ID. O&H The Outlaws and Highwaymen officially show a record of 2-2, however their two most recent victories have not been recorded. They will be at 4-2 when their two clan wars finish, including an impressive win over LOW (see issue 24). On the other hand their CLA League performance is a poultry 16-24 in division 2B. Another problem is their two losses. They lost to BSS (a good clan, but not in my top 10) and Divine Domination, a clan playing in their first clan war. O&H would have to be ranked around 11 or 12 at the moment for me. On the other hand, should they win their next clan war against G1 (they currently lead 5-4), this could solidify them as a top 10 contender. AOC I actually consulted some experts on this one. My final two spots had come down to AOD, ID, BPB, O&H, and AOC, and I was seriously considering putting Agents of Chaos in the 9 or 10 spot on the list. They have a 3-1-1 record and are leading their division in CLA League. So why didn’t they make the top 10. For one thing, their three wins all came against very low ranked clans. They had a tie against Mythology, not bad, but Mythology didn’t make the top 10 either. The only top clan that they played was Empire, and they lost that war 38-22. Finally, although they are crushing their division in CLA League (27-13), it is division 2B. For AOC to move up to the top 10, they have to beat a top clan and/or win in division 1 CLA. So although they are a good clan, they still have not proven themselves to be at the very to of CC clan competition. A win against an AOD or Nemesis is probably what it would take to vault them up to the top 10. Rising Star Divine Domination I will end with an up and coming clan to watch for in the future. Divine domination has completed 1 clan war, defeating O&H by a score of 33-27, not bad for a clan’s first challenge. Don’t forget that O&H is the clan that just defeated LOW by a good margin. DD is also in second place in division 2A, with a loosing record albeit (19-21), but every clan in that division has a losing record. TOFU is rolling 2A with an 83% win percentage. However, to be in second place behind TOFU is not a bad spot for a new clan, and they are just a few games shy of being over .500. I suspect that this will be a clan to keep an eye on. Final comments It’s unlikely that anyone will agree on the exact ranking of every clan. Some will place more value on players they know in the clan, or how they think the clan will perform in the future. I went with a system that weighed more on the past and more on winning and loosing clan wars because I felt that one cannot guess how a clan will do in the future. A record on the other hand is something that a clan has proven. And after all, winning clan wars is what we all strive for, not winning percentage. I personally would much rather my clan win 3 wars 21-19 then win 1 war 34-16 and loose 2 wars 19-21. So this is how I graded clans, how many wars did they win and how many they lost. As Bill Belichick, coach of the New England Patriots once said, “Stats are for losers, final scores are for winners”. Conqueror's Cup by laughingcavalier (AoD)\nCOME SHOW WHAT YOUR CLAN IS REALLY MADE OF!! demanded Chuuuuck as he launched the first annual Conqueror's Cup, and within hours he had been joined by CC’s finest, keen to take part in the first knockout inter-clan competition. The contest is on an epic scale with 19 clans competing in a bracket competition. Each contest will constitute a clan war in itself, with 48 games played between clans in the early rounds, and 68 games in each semi and the finals – not to mention games to be played in pre-season qualifiers. Adding all that up, you see the size of Chuuuuck’s vision, and what has got so many clans excited. If all goes to plan, by December over 800 games will have been played. The winners might enjoy a similar status to those who take home the much-coveted title of winner of the only comparable competition, the Clan League. Chuuuuck wrote:One thing is constant in the clan forums, people are arguing over the rankings, who is better than who, and how \"Clan A\" hasn't really played anyone. Everyone seems to agree that the bigger clan wars that most clans participate in are a good way of judging who is better. So I decided a bracket style tournament where clans don't get to choose who they play, and they play each other in larger clans wars might be the best way to settle \"who is the best\". Chuuuuck’s own Empire were the first clan in, soon joined by all but a handful of the top clans. The Cup thread quickly made its’ way to the top of the clan forum, as CC heavyweights, notably Incandenza and Foxglove, helped out with planning, and others (you know who you are) began the all-important trash talk. Chuuuuck appreciates the enthusiasm and the help he has received from those in his own clan and beyond, especially TheSpaceCowboy who came up with the name the \"Conqueror's Cup\" and will be helping with the admin once the tourney gets going. Seeding was decided by vote. Clan leaders ranked the participants, with the results counted together to give each clan their position in the draw. THOTA sit at the top, followed by TOFU, Empire and Immortal Assassins. There were enough surprises to launch a heated debate on where each clan will finish ( Conqueror's Cup Predictions), but all agree they will prove their case where it counts, on the field of battle. Chuuuuck himself is quietly confident about the strengths of his own clan: Chuuuuck wrote:Obviously, I am biased. I think some players feel we are over-rated, but I feel Empire has gotten a lot better over the past year and I personally believe we are under-rated. I feel we will make a strong showing and at least make it to the semi-finals. The first round offers some great match-ups. Legends of War are looking to avenge their recent defeat at the hands of the Outlaws and Highwaymen, while Knights of the Round Table and Generation 1 will play it out for a win after their draw last time up. The pre-season qualifiers kick off on February 17th, as the lower ranked teams duke it out to make the first round proper which is scheduled to start in March. We will be covering the games here. A final comment from the tourney organiser: Chuuuuck wrote:\nA very big thanks to\nfor everything they do for the clan scene, and a big thanks to the clan community as a whole.

-{"text": "Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes has no fear of going out on a limb. In the face of dwindling cigarette sales—the chain has seen its carton sales cut in half over the past five years due to intense competition and painfully high excise taxes—the Canastota, NY-based chain dove headfirst into foodservice in 1999 as a means of ensuring its future.\nThe company began with one subbrand that evolved into another then another, until its stores were a sea of offers with no clear direction. President John MacDougall and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer Fran Duskiewicz knew that even though they had great programs, the programs lacked cohesion. So they hired a \"food Ph.D.,\" Dr. Jack Cushman, as vice president of foodservice. Cushman pulled the entire offer under the Mama Mia’s Classic Pizza umbrella and fine-tuned the offerings. As a result, the company has watched food sales skyrocket to more than $20,000 a week in some stores.\nAt about the same time, the company was looking to revamp its overall store image. Standing at the threshold of a new millennium, the chain wanted to showcase its new and improved foodservice offer, but it also wanted to update the logo and image that customers have embraced for 20 years.\nNice N Easy went off on its own and tried its hand at design. The company made a bold move by tearing down and rebuilding its most profitable store. When the dust settled, the chain realized it had fallen just short of what it had intended to accomplish. Again, the company sought outside help to bring its true vision to life. At the close of what has been a five-year process, Nice N Easy readies to celebrate its 25th anniversary with a decidedly different \"face\" to its customers.\nA helping hand\nThe decision to tear down and rebuild its most profitable store—an interstate location in Tully, NY, that had the highest gas volumes and merchandise sales in the 82-store chain—was driven by a commitment to customers. But good intentions weren’t enough to execute the project as planned.\n\"Tully has always been our No. 1 store,\" says MacDougall. \"It was a big deal when we went to tear it down and redesign it. [The store] was doing really well before we tore it down, but we felt we were under-serving our customers. When we finished with the store, a colleague came in and pointed out that it was a beautiful store, but it didn’t look as if it was complete—there’s a lot of good foodservice stuff in there, but there’s nothing really tying it all together. Honestly, we had to agree.\"\nThe Tully store had the makings of an improved image; the design set off the coolers, the coffee bar (which is on the opposite side of the store) and the foodservice offer with different colors, and wood treatments gave the store a more \"polished\" look. But the colleague was right: The store simply fell short of MacDougall’s grand vision.\nThe experience left Nice N Easy at a creative loss. In the company’s search for the \"wow\" factor, it sought additional help from a professional design firm, Group Red. The outside assistance has made all the difference.\n\"We learned that we’re good at designing programs and nice-looking buildings out of quality materials, but we didn’t have that,\" says Duskiewicz. \"Contractors will build nice, sturdy buildings, but they have finishers come in on all the final details. That’s what we needed. We were building beautiful stores, but we needed to bring a finisher in for all those little touches that would make someone go ‘Oooh, this is nice.’ Those little things mean a lot.\"\nGroup Red rode Nice N Easy’s stores to get a feel for what the chain was trying to accomplish. The company quickly turned ideas into visual images that could be discussed. Group Red kept Nice N Easy focused on the minutiae— exactly what it was missing—until the team settled on a finished look for the inside of the store. In the end, the chain had a brand new reworking of its logo and fonts, and an overall foodservice identity called the Easy Street Eatery, complete with its own logo. Ideas were completed just in time to be implemented in a new ground-up store in Manlius, NY, and Nice N Easy felt that if it liked how it looked, then it would work its way backwards through the company.\nThe Wegmans of c-stores\nThe Manlius store represented another-bold move on Nice N Easy’s part. The company typically focused its stores in rural, middle-income communities, and Manlius was located in a highincome area. If Nice N Easy was going to invest in a whole new look for its stores, it wanted to see if it could cater to a higher-income customer.\n\"We knew [Manlius] was an important store to do this in,\" says Duskiewicz. \"We generally avoided high-income areas—we just never thought customers in those communities would be a good fit for us. But because it was new territory, it forced us to do a lot of research.\"\nThe only competition for Nice N Easy in Manlius was a Wegmans supermarket and a few stores in the village, located at a difficult S-turn where traffic often bottlenecks. Nice N Easy chose a more remote location to give residents a new route for their morning coffee.\nIn an effort to court the upscale Wegmans supermarket customers, the chain felt it necessary to see what they wanted in a Nice N Easy store. The company took a two-pronged approach to getting inside customers’ heads. First came an exchange of information with ACNielsen.\n\"Since we planned on serving Wegmans customers, we actually tried to make a c-store version, so when their customers shopped here they’d feel right at home,\" says Duskiewicz. \"We sell our scan data to ACNielsen, so they made available to us Wegmans scan data along with Home Panel Data, which showed us where the Wegmans customer shopped when they weren’t shopping in Wegmans. Lo and behold, we found these higher-income shoppers were just as interested in bargains as everyone else was: They were shopping in dollar stores. We knew they were looking for deals, so we have a dollar section in this store. But they also like things to look upscale, so we tried to incorporate all of that into this location.\"\nThen Nice N Easy went directly to the customer. It surveyed the community to see how the chain could customize the store to fit consumers’ needs. The survey consisted of 15 questions about services, products, food and car wash. About 2,500 mailers went out to the general community with the promise of a $10 gas gift certificate for those that responded. In the two-year period between when the mailers went out and when the store opened, 1,700 responses came back to Nice N Easy’s office. It was expensive, but MacDougall feels it made all the difference.\n\"The cost of the promotion was about $17,000,\" he says. \"But it’s not unusual to spend anywhere from $5,000 to $6,000 for regular grand opening festivities. This promotion really got the store flying from day one, because they knew this store was made with them specifically in mind.\"\nThe end result\nThe differences between the Manlius store and the Tully store are striking. In the Manlius store, colorful, captivating graphics set off the different sections with color-coded signage, featuring detailed roadmaps of the area. And each section has a phrase like \"satisfy your hunger\" or \"brighten your day\" that the company labored over with its design partner, Group Red.\n\"[Group Red] prodded us until it was perfect,\" says Duskiewicz of the New York-based firm. \"They made us focus on the exact message we wanted to put out there. Then they came back with 10 diffe\nrent combinations with a repeating arc and theme. It’s a small detail, but then again, it’s those details that we needed the most help with.\"\nThe canopy of the Manlius store mirrors the peaked atrium at the front of the store—the brainchild of MacDougall and soon to be a trademark of Nice N Easy. The canopy and store also have shingled roofs, another upscale touch.\nAside from integrating a dollar store concept amid its grocery offer, Nice N Easy also plucked other gems from the Wegmans data and the community input. Nice N Easy has taken its fill-in grocery offer to the next level by offering full meal solutions for customers. From frozen meats like steaks, chicken, shrimp, beef patties and pork chops and sides to accompany it, to frozen pizzas and appetizers, the store provides meal solutions for families at affordable prices.\n\"In many communities, our stores are the only place for folks to shop,\" says MacDougall. \"We want to give them everything they would need to make a meal for their family. And we’re competitively priced—$3.69 per pound for turkey breast, and $4.99 per pound for beef strip steaks.\"\nFor the past several years, Nice N Easy has also begun concentrating on fresh produce. It recently added Produce Manager Samuel A. Magari, Jr. to its foodservice team. He will oversee the fresh produce program now being offered in several Nice N Easy locations.\nOpen beverage cases with juice and single-serve water are another recent addition to both Tully and Manlius, and will be part of the chain’s plans going forward. According to MacDougall, sales greatly improved when they opened the cases up for easier customer access— open-faced coolers filled with low-carb products resulted in at least a 15% lift in sales. Waist-high cases for ice cream and frozen foods run through the store, too.\nManlius is also the first store to offer customers Wi-Fi access in its seating area. MacDougall feels it was absolutely necessary for customers—and well worth the cost he describes as \"not that expensive.\" The chain hopes to have six more Wi-Fi-equipped stores in 2005.\nThe price of success\nNice N Easy spent $1.25 million to tear down and rebuild the Tully store. It will cost an additional $5,000 to give it the finishing touches that are so prominent at the Manlius store, but even now the store has exceeded the company’s expectations. The store opened back up for business in December 2003. So far, it is producing foodservice sales that exceed most other store’s total inside sales, and it has maintained its gas volumes thanks to tourist traffic.\n\"Tully was a huge risk because for years Tully had been our busiest and most profitable store,\" says Duskiewicz. \"And to tear down your busiest and most profitable store can be a scary thing. But we did it and opened up right in time for our new fiscal year—beginning of December last year. And essentially it hasn’t been a problem. Our payroll and sales both went up dramatically, but the difference between the increase of those two more than made up for the increased cost of the building. So we essentially held our profit, which is remarkable.\n\"Tully and Manlius were both completed-[in 2004], and that’s two huge projectsfor us to get done in a year,\" Duskiewicz adds. \"And to take this critical image leap from one store to the next was a ton of work. But we previewed this new image to our 50 franchisees and they’re all real excited about it. So now we’re setting up a retrofit schedule to see how we can take the look and get it in place in as many stores as we can.\"\nNice N Easy’s next generation\nThe Manlius store isn’t just Nice N Easy’s first attempt at servicing a highincome community; it’s also going to be the chain’s first venture in real estate development. For $1.2 million, Nice N Easy President John MacDougall purchased the eight acres the store sits on, with the intention of creating a small retail site on the property as well. To date, a bank is connected to the store’s parking lot by a small access drive. For the future, the chain has a 16,000 sq. ft. space to the side and behind the store pegged for use by other retail tenants. Several companies are interested, one being a drug store that understands there are certain rules to follow.\n\"There are a number of companies that are interested in getting on our lot,\" says Fran Duskiewicz, Nice N Easy’s executive vice president/CFO. \"There’s a local flower shop that is slated to go in the retail site, as well as a candy shop. The site right next door to us is the other big retail site. We’ve gotten unsolicited calls from drug store chains to get on that site, and we said ‘sure’ as long as they’re willing to accept our deed restrictions. And if you get a well-known drug store next to you that’s not competing on some key items, you’ll get a lot of traffic.\"\nBecause Nice N Easy can’t sell liquor or wine in its stores, the chain is also in talks with a liquor store, which could end up being the first Nice N Easy Liquors.\n\"The fact that we opened up and have been hugely successful since day one has made this whole site more valuable to anyone who wants to get out there,\" says Duskiewicz. \"It’s really paid off for [MacDougall]. It was a big investment for the land, but it’s going to work out with the success of the store and the development of retail.\"\nThe property that will one day house the retail site is owned by Little John LLC. MacDougall sees it as \"a little project\" for his family; whatever earnings the retail site garners will go into an account bearing the names of his grandkids.\nGlass and Brass\nNice N Easy delved into foodservice to make up for shrinking cigarette profits.-Beginning with a pizza program that went by the name Mama Mia’s, Nice N Easy then moved onto a breakfast program called Egg On The Go, then On The Go sandwich/sub program, then PJ Dogger Hot Dogs and finally Grand Choice Caf for coffee and bakery. Before long, the chain realized it was inundating customers with too many brand messages. In order to get foodservice under control, the chain followed Sheetz’s example and hired itself a foodservice \"guru\" in Jack Cushman.\nCushman had his work cut out for him. While the existing programs under the Mama Mia’s Classic Pizza umbrella all showed promise, they lacked a certain \"sameness,\" which made them a real challenge to promote.\n\"When I started five years ago, we didn’t want to invent new programs,\" says Cushman. \"These were good, profitable programs that customers responded to. Our stores were simply cluttered with messages along with the typical c-store fare of chips and beer. We wanted to get all the brands corralled under one name so our customers could identify with the programs as a whole.\n\"So we worked to place the brands under the name Easy Street Eatery,\" he continues. \"The menu hasn’t really changed, but the props have. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to just change the name, but when you look at the sales, you see that image and name actually play a big role.\"\nWhenever Nice N Easy adds foodservice to a store, its goal is to have the category represent 25% to 30% of sales. As soon as the changes were made to the Manlius store, it saw foodservice sales jump as high as 36% of in-store sales. The store has exceeded the chain’s pre-construction estimates of $10,000 a week in food sales.\nManlius is the first store to feature the completely redesigned foodservice offer. One of the main design elements that gave Easy Street its edge was what Cushman calls \"glass and brass.\" The food preparation area is separated fro\nBut not every store will bear the Easy Street Eatery brand. The brand is reserved for stores that offer a full-blown foodservice offer, meaning it has to carry all Nice N Easy sub-brands. Most importantly, stores need to offer made-to-order sandwiches.\nAs Nice N Easy proceeds with its retrofit schedule, Cushman would like to see at least a dozen of the chain’s 82 stores fitted with the Easy Street label. Group Red has offered an alternate plan so that the new look can be used in older stores, rather than having to knock them down and rebuild. And with each new build he hopes to improve on the operational flow.\nAnd while Cushman is the \"commander\" of the foodservice offer, Nice N Easy has recruited strong \"foot soldiers\" in each store. Each time the chain puts foodservice programs into a store, it goes out and hires restaurant managers.\n\"They know how to run foodservice because they’ve managed restaurants in the past,\" says Fran Duskiewicz, executive vice president/CFO. \"So [Cushman] and the people who work for him at least can speak the same language.\"", "char_count": 16143, "token_count": 4035, "k_exact": 2.4949, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8901, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Is Dallas a good food town? A debate that has been waged across dinner tables and blog comment sections. No matter which side of the fence you fall on, ask yourself this question: how was the debate framed?\nMost likely, you discussed restaurants. Is our BBQ as good as the Hill Country? Is our Italian up to snuff? Is our sushi really as good as NYC and LA?\nAll valid questions. But restaurants alone do not a food culture make! Markets are an integral part of any food culture. And guess what – Dallas has fantastic independent markets in every part of the city.\nThis is not meant as an indictment of the “gourmet” grocery stores that have sprung up across the Metroplex. They do offer some combination of convenience and quality. But they can’t replicate a market.\nLet’s put it this way: My market, TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market, has been in business 22 years, most of it next to Whole Foods. Clearly someone thinks there is a difference between a grocery store and a market!\nSo what is the difference ?\nMarkets are small businesses which can’t deal with turnover like big corporations. Many of Dallas’ markets have had the same core staff working for years. My first job was at Kuby’s 15 years ago. I still see the same faces when I walk in today. You think there is a jagwurst question they haven’t been asked? Market staffs are experienced and knowledgable.\nIt’s “Farm To Table,” not “Farm To Central Distribution Warehouse To Table”\nGrocery stores tend to order in large quantities. Product often go to a distribution center and then are shipped out to individual stores. Markets tend to order in small quantities right to their location. Produce, meat, dairy…it’s almost always going to be fresher in a market.\nWhere Everybody Knows Your Name\nIt’s damned hard for an independent market today! So you should get fantastic personal service – or the market will be out of business. Become a regular and they’ll probably remember your name. They’ll remember your favorite items, email you when something you like (or they think you’d like) comes in. Walk into Veritas Wine Room a few times and they’ll remember your name – even when you can’t.\nIf You Seek Unique…\nTry finding Miso Happy Chocolate with red miso, tahini and black sesame anywhere but Dude, Sweet Chocolate. Thumann’s natural casing hot dogs anywhere but Hirsch’s Specialty Meats & Sausages. Pastosa Fresh Pasta (flown in from Brooklyn) anywhere but Jimmy’s Food Store. Pure Ground’s Fresh Chevre anywhere but Scardellos?\nSupport our local markets. It’s fun, its old school, its hip, it’s fresh and chances are you might find a new favorite food…or make a new friend who will feed you really well.\nJon Alexis is the owner of TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market and one of the very few fishmongers in Dallas.

-{"text": "It’s a standard piece of cynicism that the addition of a qualifier to a field of study means that said study ends up not being in that field at all. “Social justice” is, for example, quite divorced from the usual standards of “justice”, “social sciences” are not known for their adherence to the strictures of “science”. And it appears that we need to add another to our list, “educational” economics seems not to be about economics. The background is that in Australia there’s a debate about what interest rate ought to be charged to students on the loans they take out to go to university. One “educational” economist has insisted that the idea of fixing that interest rate to that on government bonds will lead to poorer earners paying much more over the life of their loans than those with higher incomes. Something that’s entirely true by the way, as higher earners will pay off the loans more swiftly. But to look at such loans purely on the interest to be paid might be an accounting exercise, might even be a useful banking exercise, but it’s not obviously an economic report.\nThe federal government is expected to ditch one of its most controversial budget measures – the plan to apply real interest rate to student debts – following advice from the architect of the HECS repayment scheme that it is unfair to poor graduates.\nDetailed modelling by leading education economist Bruce Chapman has found poor graduates could pay 30 per cent more for a degree than their high-income counterparts if the government indexes student debts at the government bond rate rather than inflation.\nIn more detail:\nProfessor Chapman’s modelling found low-income graduates (those in the bottom 30 per cent of earners) would amass total repayments of $105,000 from a starting debt of $60,000 under the government’s plan.\nBy contrast, high-income graduates (those in the top 25 per cent of earners) would pay only $75,000 in total repayments on the same debt – $30,000 less than low-income earners.\nGraduates on a median salary would pay around $82,000 in repayments on the same starting debt.\nAll of that is entirely true: simply because repayments are linked to earnings. The more you earn the more you pay back of the debt each month or year and thus the faster you pay off the outstanding principal. And it’s hardly a surprise that the longer you borrow money for the more interest you pay: no one at all complains that we pay more interest on a 30 year mortgage than we do on a 15 year one. But this is an accounting or possibly even a banking treatment of the question, not an economic one, for it manages to miss two highly relevant economic points.\nThe first being that this idea that we want people to go to university is that they will become more productive as a result of going to university. If people take out a loan to become mining engineers and then go and make $200,000 a year in the mines then we think that’s great. Value is being added in the form of human capital and the whole society becomes richer. But if someone takes out $60,000 in loans to then go and become a diversity adviser earning a very much smaller sum then it’s not at all obvious that this is a good deal for society. Has enough value been added to cover that capital investment? And of course it is exactly this difficulty in the valuation of different degrees which leads to the idea that students should borrow themselves for their education rather than taxpayers paying for it all. Put the decision about whether going to university or not, also the one of what to study, into the hands of the person who both gains the benefits and also has to carry the costs.\nWhich leads to us being quite happy with the idea that the costs to do a course that leads to a low productivity career are higher than the costs of doing something more productive. For recall, the more productive all of our fellows are the richer we all are collectively. That’s actually the argument in favour of having an education system at all.\nWhich is our first economics point: we like a system that encourages people to decide upon high productivity courses and careers rather than low productivity ones.\nThe second economic point is that there’s a great gaping hole in the analysis. That hole being “tax”. The point being that Australia has a progressive income tax system. Someone in the top 25% of the income distribution, that person who pays off that student loan faster and thus pays less interest, is going to be paying income tax at a marginal rate of 37 to 45%. That person who is in that bottom 30% of earners will be paying that same tax at marginal rates of nothing through 19% to 32.5%. So because we’ve already got a progressive income tax system we’ve already dealt with the idea that the rich pay more. We don’t thus need to be adjusting interest rates on loans: we’ve already dealt with that inherent unfairness of some people being able to earn more money than others.\nAll of which is where this distinction between “educational” economics and economics itself seems to come in.

-{"text": "The time has come to draw a line in the sand on extreme poverty. We have the resources and the will. What we no longer have is any excuse for inaction. On August 15, I signed into law House Bill 4369, which establishes the Commission on the Elimination of Poverty in the state of Illinois. The stated goal of the new body is to create a plan to cut extreme poverty in Illinois in half by the year 2015. By combining achievable goals with a comprehensive approach to poverty, I believe this Commission can move Illinois even further into the forefront in the national movement against poverty, and establish Illinois as the model state for others to emulate.\nThe Commission will focus on those who live in extreme poverty, defined as 50 percent of the federal poverty line, or an income of merely $11,000 per year for a family of four. According to the Heartland Alliance for Human Needs and Human Rights, 700,000 Illinoisans live in extreme poverty, 150,000 of whom are aged 12-24. Confronting extreme poverty demands more than making up for an unacceptable shortfall in the means required to achieve a reasonable standard of living. It also means we need to stand with those children and young adults whose fragile futures we have the power to shape. To provide opportunities for these families to work themselves out of poverty is both to help provide them what they need stay alive today as well as to provide them with the tools and opportunities to thrive tomorrow.\nEvery person has a right to a safe place to live, adequate healthcare, food, and decent educational and employment opportunities. Because a quality life has so many dimensions, we have structured our new Commission to focus on eight key areas:\n- Affordable housing\n- Food and nutrition\n- Affordable and quality health care\n- Equal access to quality education\n- Dependable and affordable transportation\n- Quality and affordable child care\n- Opportunities to engage in sustainable work that pays a living wage\n- Availability of adequate income supports\nWe already know that you can’t just give people a hand-out and expect them to succeed. These eight areas acknowledge that we need to cover people’s basic needs and, at the same time, that we can never make serious inroads into poverty until we open up to everyone the tried and tested pathways to success.\nA deeper look at rising poverty levels in Illinois shows why we need to take a broader approach: in the last 10 years, low-income students have risen from 36.3 percent to 40.9 percent of the total enrollment and this year alone has witnessed a 4 percent increase in the number of households that receive Food Stamps.\nThese are problems we can conquer, but only if take into account – and address – the many factors of poverty. One reason we are creating this Commission is to ensure that the Illinois has a long-term plan.\nThe political will exists to do something about poverty and so it is equally important to develop an approach that can garner support from both sides of the aisle. When everyone can agree that we must act to reduce poverty, there is no time to let politics overwhelm initiative. This bill, which passed unanimously in both the Illinois House and Senate, mandates that the Commission represent all points of view. I will appoint five members, the Lieutenant Governor will appoint one, and then the House Majority and Minority Leaders and the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders will appoint five each for a total of 26. This gives us confidence that when the Commission does develop a plan, it will be one that all of Illinois can get behind.\nWe have allowed extreme poverty to persist for far too long. I am proud to say that the creation of this Commission is an important first step in remedying that inaction. We have now made a firm commitment to identifying and implementing policies that will greatly reduce the number of Illinoisans living in poverty. I hope that we can inspire other states and communities to follow suit, and pledge to dramatically reduce poverty in the coming years. These goals are not always easy, but they are within reach. It will require hard work and determination to halve the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. Yet it is a deadline that all Illinoisans can now await with optimism and hope.\nViewpoints in this section solely represent the authors’ opinions and not the opinions of \"Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity.\"", "char_count": 4424, "token_count": 1106, "k_exact": 3.2076, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9329, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Ultracapacitors: the future of electric cars or the 'cold fusion' of autovation?\nZENN Motors says its electric car will cruise for 250 miles on a single five-minute charge. Skeptics cry shenanigans.\nIan Clifford wants to start a global revolution by building a practical, everyday car with no gasoline engine, no batteries, and no emissions.\nWhile big Detroit automakers ponder a future plug-in car that goes 40 miles on a battery charge before its gas engine kicks in, Mr. Clifford's tiny ZENN Motor, a Toronto maker of low-speed electric cars, announced in March that it will build a new highway-speed (80 m.p.h.) model that goes 250 miles on a charge – and can recharge in just five minutes.\nHaving no batteries, the new \"cityZENN\" model will use a breakthrough version of a common electrical storage device called an ultracapacitor to store power from a wall socket, the company says. Fuel costs to operate it would be about one-tenth of today's gas-powered vehicle.\nIf that astounding claim is real (and there are many skeptics), it could revolutionize automotive travel by making all-electric cars competitive with gas-powered vehicles and easing the world's dependence on oil.\n\"The big problem has always been the battery and its limits,\" says Clifford, ZENN's founder and CEO in a phone interview. \"This new technology is a 180-degree shift that represents the end of fossil fuel as a transportation fuel.\"\nThat's because the same ultracapacitor technology could be used across the grid to provide cheap electric storage for wind and solar power, he says. In turn, this process could power millions of ultracapacitor vehicles with no emissions at all. With the cars' fast-charge capability, recharging stations could pop up to help make even longer trips routine.\nUltracapacitors – also called supercapacitors – are more powerful cousins of the basic capacitor. With activated carbon at their core to act as a sponge for electrons, ultracapacitors can absorb power – or send a charge – far faster than batteries. They are also far more durable.\nFirst used in the 1960s, ultracapacitors today are widely found in electronic devices such as computers. In cameras, they retract and expand zoom lens. Yet the power stored by today's ultracapacitors is still only about 5 percent as much as a modern lithium-ion battery, far too little to power a car by themselves.\nThe reported breakthrough was made by ZENN's business partner EEStor, a Cedar Park, Texas, firm headed by respected computer industry veteran Richard Weir, who's named on the company's patent. The company is now nearing commercial production of its new \"electrical energy storage unit\" or EESU, Clifford says.\nBut privately held EEStor has had little to say publicly or to the press – and that secretiveness has inspired incredulity among many debating the topic on Internet forums.\nBut in a break with that tradition, Tom Weir, the company's vice president and general manager, responded to e-mailed questions.\n\"EEStor's technology has the opportunity to touch every aspect of daily life from very big to very small devices,\" Mr. Weir writes. \"We also see a whole new generation of products ... based around our technology.\"\nAdded credibility arrived with the January announcement by Lockheed Martin, the big defense company, of an agreement to use EEStor technology for military and homeland security applications. It refers to the EEStor \"ceramic battery\" providing \"10 times the energy density of lead-acid batteries at 1/10th the weight and volume.\"\nIn 2005, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers sunk $3 million into EEStor. ZENN also invested $3 million and will get exclusive rights to retrofit vehicles with the system – and produce new mid-size cars using EESUs.\nAccording to EEStor's patent application, the breakthrough is based on a technically arduous process of purifying and fabricating units with barium titanate, a material known to retain vast amounts of power.\n\"The main feature of the EESU is the charge and dis-charge at electric speed,\" Weir writes. \"This is a key enabling factor for the advancement of the next generation of vehicles. Another feature is the amount of power the EESU can store. Lastly, the EESU is expected to be considered fully 'green.' \"\nBut some bloggers call the purported breakthrough pure hype, today's version of \"cold fusion,\" the still-theoretical energy source announced in 1989.\nAt least some analysts and researchers, though skeptical, seem reluctant to dismiss entirely the possibility that EEStor could be onto something significant.\n\"I'm sure they do have a technology, but skepticism revolves around the fact that nobody knows much about it,\" says Anu Cherian, an analyst who tracks the $100 million global ultracapacitor market for Frost & Sullivan, a growth consulting company. \"The ZENN car looks to be an exciting development. But there's a lot of hype in the market.\"\nOther ultracapacitor experts won't dismiss EEStor's claim despite technical challenges.\n\"It would be unfair to make an analogy between what EEStor is doing and cold fusion,\" says Joel Schindall, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who is using nanotechnology to improve ultracapacitors. \"I don't doubt that they have built a device on a small scale that does store the amounts of energy they are talking about. I just don't know if they can manage the process of scaling it up ... for commercial applications.\"\nDr. Schindall and his colleagues hope soon to demonstrate a fivefold boost in ultracapacitor energy storage to up to 25 percent of the energy storage capacity of a lithium battery – and someday up to 50 percent – using a different approach to the problem.\nSuch significant advances would make ultracapacitors viable in vehicles, though they still fall far short of Clifford's claims about EESU.\nMaking commercial quantities of EESUs could prove challenging since even tiny impurities and defects in manufacturing could result in \"a violent discharge,\" Schindall notes.\nSafety is a huge issue for energy storage in vehicles whether powered by gasoline, ethanol, hydrogen, batteries – or ultracapacitors. High-capacity lithium-ion battery research for cars, for instance, is focused on ensuring those devices don't burst into flames. EEStor has ensured that its new ultracapacitor will be safe if damaged in a crash by \"instantly discharging to ground,\" Clifford says.\nSkeptics don't bother him, he says, because \"we've seen this product with our own eyes.\"\n\"We've had a great 100-year run with petroleum,\" Clifford says. \"But the time has come for all of us to come to our senses now and realize that the electric-powered era for cars has finally arrived.\"\nComments from EEStor\nMuch of the rampant skepticism on the Internet over whether or not EEStor has had a breakthrough in automotive propulsion stems from the company's reticence to speak or to demonstrate its product publicly. Only a handful of press releases have been issued since the company was formed, and press reports have rarely included any direct quotes from company managers. Below are comments from a Monitor e-mail interview with Tom Weir, vice president and general manager, EEStor, Inc.\nCan you offer an idea of what your product could do for automotive transportation and a time horizon for development?\n\"We see our Electrical Energy Storage Unit, 'EESU,' enabling the next generation of electric vehicles. The main feature of the EESU is [its ability to] charge and dis-charge at electric speed. This is a key enabling factor for the advancement of the next generation of vehicles. Another feature is the amount of power the EESU can store. Lastly, the EESU is expected to be considered fully 'green.' \"\nSome have suggested that ultracapacitors will play more of a supporting role – others that it's a \"game changer,\" or even world changing. How would you describe the potential?\n\"EEStor's technology has the opportunity to touch every aspect of daily life from very big to very small devices. We also see a whole new generation of products and services that [are] based around our technology.\"\nHow would you characterize EEStor's contribution to developing new systems to transmit the energy for automotive propulsion?\nEEStor has announced passing an evaluation on purity of its production process. Explain why this is important.\n\"To be discussed in the near future.\"\nWhy has EEStor been so quiet, some say secretive, about what it is doing?\n\"We talk about our achievements through press releases. We talk with our current customers almost daily. We will also talk about more things when the time is right.\"\nDo you see any show stoppers, or is it just a matter of ramping up?\n\"With any start-up you have some speed bumps that come up from time to time. We have no show stoppers.\"\nCompetitors rev their engines\nAt the North American International Auto Show in January, AFS Trinity created a stir by strutting its \"extreme hybrid\" plug-in concept vehicle that uses ultracapacitors to boost battery life and get 150 miles per gallon. The Bellevue, Wash.-based company sees ultracapacitors as a natural fit with new generation lithium-ion batteries that are vital to plug-in hybrids. Company chairman Edward Furia compares batteries to a long-distance runner (providing the stamina a car needs over the long haul) while ultracapacitors are akin to a weight lifter – giving cars that 0-to-60 oomph while minimizing impact on the delicate battery.\nAs oil prices rise, new ultracapacitor research has emerged. Companies like Maxwell Technologies, Panasonic, Nippon Chemi-Con, and others are working on advanced devices with attributes of both an ultracapacitor and a battery, according to a November report from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). But the recent focus is only a continuation of a long-term fascination with ultracapacitors in automobiles.\nA small fleet of ultracapacitor-powered buses began running in Moscow in 1995, and some garbage trucks in the US now use ultracapacitors to efficiently absorb energy from braking – and discharge it for acceleration, the IEEE article notes. Honda's Dualnote concept car in 2002 also showed off ultracapacitors' ability to instantly absorb braking energy and then return it in acceleration. German automaker BMW is also said to be evaluating ultracapacitors in their hybrid vehicles.", "char_count": 10350, "token_count": 2587, "k_exact": 2.715, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9202, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Wrapping Up A Drama-Filled Weekend\nIn a way, I almost enjoy coming to qualifying weekend more than the race…almost. There are so many storylines and subplots that develop throughout the weekend that come to a head in the last thirty minutes on Sunday afternoon. This year was no different.\nThe weather was certainly a factor, as it usually is. As it turned out, it just served to make things more interesting as it created a sense of urgency for several drivers – most notably, Danica Patrick. Say what you will about Ms. Patrick (I know I have), but she showed guts today. When, at one point, it looked like the rain may prevent her from even attempting a run to get into the field today, she was the first out when the track finally dried out. She responded by turning the fastest lap of the entire day and putting her car safely in the field.\nPaul Tracy turned in the fastest four-lap average of the day and put his WIX Filters Dallara on the inside of Row Nine. Ryan Briscoe also answered the bell by putting his car on the outside of the ninth row. Charlie Kimball also solidly joined his teammate, Graham Rahal, who qualified just before the big storm came earlier in the day.\nBut the main story was brewing near the back of the field. I had an idea that there would be an Andretti Autosport driver to not make this field. What I did not expect was that two wouldn’t make it. I suspected that Mike Conway wouldn’t make the race, since he had been slow all month. What surprised me was that Ryan Hunter-Reay didn’t make it either. Marco Andretti was bumped by Alex Lloyd, but bumped his teammate, Hunter-Reay, to get back in.\nHow does this happen? How does a team like Andretti Autosport allow themselves to have all four of their full-time drivers be shut out on the first day and then most of them hanging around the last row on the second day. This wasn’t as shocking as Marlboro Team Penske’s No-Show in 1995, but it was close.\nThe others that ended the day on the outside looking in were Sebastian Saavedra, James Jakes, Ho-Pin Tung, Scott Speed and Rafa Matos. Most experts agreed that one full-time driver would be going home. I don’t think anyone saw three not making the field. This is certainly an intriguing grid. I think that there is now a good chance that the winning car may actually come from a non-Penske/Ganassi stable. I’m a Penske fan, but that could be good for driving fan interest in the sport. So let all the weeklong speculation begin. It’s going to be a fun week.\n* – Note: As soon as this post loads up, we are piling in the car and headed back to Nashville. I must be at work by 8:00 Monday morning. There will be no post here on Monday, but I’ll try to have something up here most days this week leading up to the race.

-{"text": "PLAINVIEW -- The U. S. Naval Academy Band will record \"Oldest and Finest,\" a march composed by Dr. Gary Belshaw, Wayland Baptist University Assistant Professor of Piano Pedagogy. The recording of the march will be included in a planned 4 CD set commemorating the 150 th Anniversary of the Academy Band. Lieutenant Commander Donald H. Keller, leader of the U. S. Naval Academy Band, requested permission to use the piece.\nThe march was composed during the summer of 2002. The idea for the march originated during a visit with members of the band after a performance of Belshaw's doctoral dissertation, \"Wind Sculptures\" for trombone and band. That performance in May 2002 featured Don Lucas, Professor of Trombone at Texas Tech University, and the U. S Naval Academy Band.\n\"Some of the band members and I were dining after the performance, and they told me the band was coming up on its 150 th anniversary. The march is dedicated to the band in honor of its Sesquicentennial Anniversary,\" Belshaw said.\n\"Writing a march is one of those wonderful challenges every composer must face at one point or another. And it was John Phillip Sousa who set the standard. He said that a march 'must be as free from padding as a marble statue.' That's a pretty tough standard. In literary terms, it means there can be no snow job.\"\nThe U. S. Naval Academy Band premiered the march during its Gala 150 th Anniversary Concert on May 9, 2003. Belshaw was unable to attend the performance as he and the rest of the Wayland Music Department were preparing for a mission trip to Spain. During the trip, members of the Wayland Pioneer Band, International Choir and Wayland Singers performed three movements from \"A España\" by Belshaw. The three movements feature scripture verses in Spanish set to music.\nIn addition to \"Wind Sculptures\" for trombone and band, and \"Oldest and Finest,\" members of the U.S. Naval Academy Band's trombone quartet premiered yet another Belshaw composition, \"At A Lake\" for solo trombone and trombone quartet. The quartet was premiered at the convention of the Texas Bandmaster's Association in San Antonio during the summer of 2002.\n\"It has been a real honor just to have my music played by such a distinguished group of professionals,\" Belshaw said.\nThe Academy band provided Belshaw with a recording of the live performance of the march.\n\"The recording of the march sounded amazing,\" he said. \"The band plays with such incredible precision and skill, that I heard the best possible rendition of my music imaginable.\"\nBelshaw is in his fourth year at Wayland Baptist University. He received his Ph.D. in Fine Arts from Texas Tech University in August 2000. He teaches private and class piano, orchestration, piano pedagogy, and he accompanies both students and faculty in recital. He also teaches private piano through the University's Academy of Fine Arts.", "char_count": 2866, "token_count": 716, "k_exact": 2.4452, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8772, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "The Witwatersrand gold rush of 1886 marked the start not only of a century of gold mining in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni but also of massive transformations in the landscapes of these South African cities. Once natural grasslands, the Witwatersrand — Afrikaans for “the ridge of white waters” — rapidly became a region of bustling boomtowns. The Witwatersrand Basin was responsible for over 40 percent of total global gold production and continues to be a major producer of gold. Over the past century a range of factors — fluctuating international gold prices, changing demands for mining labor, the construction of infrastructure and the need to dispose of mining waste — has shaped the development of what is now the most urbanized province in South Africa. In particular, the 80-kilometer mining belt between the two cities is riddled by deep-shaft mines, where companies built an extensive network of underground tunnels and moved large amounts of earth to the surface. These operations have weakened geological strata, disrupted natural drainage patterns and altered ecological habitat. The original semi-arid grasslands ecology is now converted to an urban forest, and sediment from mining waste has blocked natural waterways, unexpectedly creating wetlands with rich bird habitat. Massive mine dumps, many upwards of 30 meters tall, have become landmarks of Johannesburg — or eGoli, “the place of gold,” in Zulu.\nIn the 1970s the gold mines moved from Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni to the rural areas of the Witwatersrand, and informal settlements began to occupy the vacant mining lands in the heart of the city. The end of apartheid, in 1994, brought a large influx of rural residents — mostly blacks or foreign Africans — seeking opportunities in Johannesburg and joining family and friends in existing informal settlements along the mining belt. Currently 25 percent of the population in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni live in informal settlements, and approximately a quarter of them — 400,000 people — are in the mining belt. The settlements range from 100 to 40,000 people, with the largest communities in Ekurhuleni, where the mining companies have expended fewer resources to police the land.\nNot surprisingly, the settlements face myriad obstacles. Local zoning laws prevent them from receiving municipal services such as water, electricity and sanitation. Having no secure right to the land, the settlers construct homes from scrap metal and found wood; and despite such resourcefulness, they’ve encountered degraded environmental conditions that seriously hampered efforts to improve living standards and achieve formal municipal status.\nChanging ownership structures and bankruptcies in the mining industries have made it difficult to determine who is responsible for the environmental remediation of the old mining land (despite strict environmental regulations). Shallowly undermined land — caused by underground mines close to the ground surface — makes it technically difficult to construct permanent buildings and basic infrastructure, while the fine dust from neighboring mine dumps poses health risks such as respiratory disease and cancer. To complicate the situation, new extraction technologies and rising gold prices are enabling the recovery of gold from mine dumps. Massive topographical and hydrological operations have been set in motion once again; the old mine dumps are disappearing, gold slurry and water are piped throughout the region and waste has been transferred to new “super dumps” on the periphery. Newly freed land is being redeveloped for light industry and recreation; yet the population of greater Johannesburg is projected to double over the next 20 years, creating a significant housing shortage. This has created tension over land; but it’s also led to unexpected partnerships between the mining companies and informal settlements.\nIn January 2010 we traveled to Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni to study the rapidly changing mining belt. We visited eight informal settlements, numerous mine dumps, the nearly complete FIFA World Cup Stadium, gold processing plants, and even a defunct-mine-turned-theme-park called Gold Reef City. Through our discussions with informal settlers, non-profit organizations, government officials, academics, real estate developers, mining experts and mine operators, we uncovered a complex web of ecologies that will determine the future of the gold mining belt. Our investigation documents the relationships between the current mining operations, the infrastructure that supports them and the informal settlements that inhabit defunct mining sites. In this slideshow, we hope to show that these relationships open up possibilities for the rehabilitation of a post-gold industrial landscape into a socially, economically and environmentally productive urban environment.", "char_count": 4846, "token_count": 1211, "k_exact": 3.3337, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9217, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The Intercooler is a staple of Nyko's lineup and they are showing one for the Wii. A Power Adapter for the Wii will also be shown but I can't comment on the product until I see it as I don't know what the benefit of this product will be. Zero Wireless comes to the PlayStation 3 with the PS3 Zero providing an alternative to Sony's wireless controller. The most unique product in their announcement though is the Party Station featuring an LCD scoreboard, a fan to cool off hands, slots to hold Wii remotes and SD cards, and even a snack and dip bowl. This I have to see. Look for a lot of these products in the Fall.\nNYKO ANNOUNCES PRODUCT LINEUP FOR E3 2007\nNew Products For Wii, 360, PS3, and DS Lite Headed to Retail This Fall\nLos Angeles, CA - June 10, 2007 - Nyko Technologies(R), a premier peripherals manufacturer, today announced their product lineup for the 2007 E3 Media and Business Summit in Santa Monica, California. The lineup includes new products for the Nintendo Wii(tm) , PlayStation 3(tm), and the Nintendo DS Lite(tm), including a new version of the popular Intercooler for the Wii, as well as all-new products such as the Zero for PS3 and Party Station for Wii. All products are currently slated to ship to retail in Fall of 2007.\nThe Intercooler for Wii is the next installment in Nyko's popular line of console cooling solutions. The unit attaches easily to the back of the Wii, ensuring a perfect fit and cooler ambient temperature levels, thanks to a built-in fan that increases airflow circulation out from the unit's main ventilation slot. For added convenience, the Intercooler also powers on and off with the console itself, as well as features a white finish that matches the original color scheme of the Wii.\nFor the ultimate in Wii party experiences, Nyko's introduces The Party Station. Combining multiplayer conveniences with food and drink storage, the Party Station is one of the most unique Wii products, but also one of the most useful. Multiple LCD scoreboards allows gamers to keep track of multiplayer face-offs, while the Party Station's built-in fan keeps hands cool during the most heated of tournaments. When it's time to eat, the Party Station's built-in snack and dip bowls keep the food coming, while drinks stay upright in four cup holders, including four supplied freezable cup sleeves to keep them chilled. Storage is also made simple with four slots to hold Wii remotes and a drawer to store accessories like SD cards and manuals. The Party Station is designed to maximize the social gaming experience unique to the Wii.\nThe Power Adapter for Wii provides gamers with a simple solution for powering their Wii console. The Power Adapter plugs into any standard wall outlet, and also features a built-in LED to indicate when the unit is connected to AC power as well as a visual modeling that compliments the Wii console.\nAll three new Nyko products for the Wii will ship in the Fall of 2007.\nFor the ultimate solution in PS3 gaming, the Zero Wireless Controller is the final word in wireless and convenient controller options. Continuing the popularity of Nyko's Zero controller line, the PS3 Zero features a unique metal polymer hybrid design putting the most advanced controller into the hands of PS3 gamers. Able to provide up to 25 hours of continuous play with the included removable and rechargeable NiMH battery, the Zero also features a revolutionary wireless chipset that provides a reliable and accurate range of up to 30 feet as well as backlit LED buttons and precision analog sticks, buttons, and triggers for maximum durability. The controller is also equipped with a precise accelerometer that detects six different directions of motion for the most accurate game play experience. The Zero Wireless Controller is available in three distinct color schemes to match the tastes of any gamer.\nDS Lite gamers needing a convenient carrying and charging solution for their portable handheld need look no further than Nyko's Ultimate Kit Lite. The bundle comes in multiple color designs, and each includes a stylish, protective carrying case, matching car charger and DS styli. A supplied carabineer allows the carrying case to be attached to a backpack or belt, while convenient pockets on the case allow for the storage of up to eight DS game cards.\nThe Zero Wireless Controller, and Ultimate Kit Lite will ship to retailers in August of 2007.\n\"At this year's E3 Media and Business Summit Nyko will unveil a number of new and exciting products, each developed to provide gamers with the most advanced gaming solutions available,\" said Herschel Naghi, CEO of Nyko Technologies. \"From the Party Station and its unique social-focused features to the Zero and its wireless technology, Nyko's E3 lineup promises to be our most exciting yet.\"", "char_count": 4931, "token_count": 1232, "k_exact": 2.3749, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8599, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "\"Republicans Held Disaster Relief Hostage Several Times In 2011\"\nTropical Storm Issac continues to bear down on the Gulf Coast on Monday, with the National Hurricane Center predicting that it will become a Category 1 hurricane before it makes landfall. There’s a chance that the storm will hit New Orleans nearly seven years to the day that Hurricane Katrina decimated the city.\nRepublicans have largely canceled the first day of the Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay, Florida, due to the storm, which swiped southern Florida yesterday. But in 2011, House Republicans displayed far less concern for the victims of natural disasters, attempting to slash funds for disaster preparedness and response, as Slate’s Dave Weigel noted at the time:\nAccording to the House Appropriation Committee’s summary of the bill, the [GOP’s 2011 continuing resolution] funds Operations, Research and Facilities for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association with $454.3 million less than it got in FY2010; this represents a $450.3 million cut from what the president’s never-passed FY2011 budget was requesting. The National Weather Service, of course, is part of NOAA — its funding drops by $126 million. The CR also reduces funding for FEMA management by $24.3 million off of the FY2010 budget, and reduces that appropriation by $783.3 million for FEMA state and local programs.\nHouse Republicans several times that year held disaster relief hostage, demanding that the funding be offset with spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. The GOP pulled the same trick when Missouri was hit by a deadly tornado in May, when Virginia was affected by an earthquake, and when Hurricane Irene struck America’s east coast.\nRepublicans eventually struck a deal with Democrats as part of last August’s Budget Control Act that should make it easier to fund disaster relief. However, the House Republican budget reneged on that agreement, setting the stage for more disaster relief shenanigans when the country can least afford political games.", "char_count": 2023, "token_count": 505, "k_exact": 3.5068, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.88, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "This is an article I found interesting on the Gizmodo website, by Andrew Tarantola.\nHead on over to their website, for a daily read!\nSix Ways Autodesk Reshaped The World\nAndrew Tarantola Yesterday 7:30 AM\nAfter three decades on the market, Autodesk’s software has radically transformed modern architecture, science, and art. In downtown San Francisco, Autodesk exhibits a rotating 20-item gallery showing 20 of its most impressive design feats. On a recent tour, Gizmodo saw the stunning range of the program’s capabilities. Engineers use it to plan the most the world’s major buildings, and scientists use it to make scale models of molecules. For an artist, it’s a way to finally design a giant dinosaur made of Lego.\nHere’s a look at a few highlights of the Autodesk Gallery at One Market Street, where tours start every Wednesday at 12:30pm.\nThere isn’t an instruction booklet big enough to explain how to turn a pile of 62,500 LEGO blocks into an 2.6m tall dinosaur sculpture. Instead, Lego combined its Digital Designer software with AutoCAD to develop and test 3D models of the lambeosaurus. The company ensured its structural stability, then starting popping together the pieces.\nWhen it’s completed in 2014, the Shanghai Tower will be the largest building in all of China — a towering 128 stories tall. But at that height, the structure is subject to Shanghai’s famously tremendous winds that, if unchecked, could cause the tower to sway and potentially buckle. So, rather than build numerous small-scale models of the three potential designs and subject them to wind tunnel testing — a labour, cost, and time-intensive exercise — the team erected each in AutoCAD and virtually tested their wind resistance in a computational fluid dynamics model.\nThis allowed the architects to reduce wind resistance in the tower’s final design by 24 per cent, before a physical model was ever made. The 1:85 scale model entered a wind tunnel test, validating the virtual results of the renderings.\nThis 3D-printed 10,000,000:1 rendering of DNA-RNA transcription. They were created using accurate data, fed into AutoCAD, by scientific animation firm Xvivo.\nThe new headquarters for the Masdar corporation, an energy company located in Abu Dhabi, is being heralded as a breakthrough in energy efficiency. To optimise the building’s design, the Masdar designers used AutoCAD software to configure everything — its orientation on the lot, the roof design, the shape of the solar panel array, and the shape of the cooling inlets located at the base of the main support columns.\nAs a result, the Masdar building will consume 70 per cent less water than a similarly sized structure, and it will actually produce three per cent more energy than it consumes — making it the first positive energy building in the Middle East.\nWhen the new eastern span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge was in its design phase, sceptics worried that the world’s largest self-anchored suspension bridge, couldn’t handle the strain of morning commute traffic. To prove that the project could be accomplished, the California DoT created and disseminated realistic models of the proposed span and construction process. The idea was to gain public support and to plan how to minimize delays during lane closures. This technique was so successful that the DoT did the same for the recent Doyle Drive renovation.\n3D Camera Booth\nSure, you can scan physical objects into the virtual realm using laser range finders and such, but where is the fun in that? And what else are you going to use those three dozen spare cameras for? This device, designed and built by AutoDesk CEO Carl Bass, takes a series of photos of the subject, overlapping them slightly. This data is then fed into AutoCAD 123 Make where it is stitched together into a 3D model.\nUsers can then export the model to a 3D printer or a CNC machine to cut the shapes from cardboard. Then it’s just a matter of assembly.

-{"text": "The existing atmosphere surrounding the earth contains a little less than one percent of the inert gas Argon, an approximate total of 6.59 x 1019 grams. The isotope Argon-40 (40AR) is 99.6 percent of the total Argon. The only know source of 40Ar is the radioactive decay of Potassium-40 (40K), of which 11.2 percent decays into 40AR and the remainder into Calcium-40 (40CA). The lithosphere (outer layers) of the earth has been estimated to be 2.59 percent Potassium, of which about 0.01167 percent is 40K. An approximately total of 5 x 1021 grams of 40K in the earth of which 11.2 percent could eventually decay into 40Ar. 40K has a half life of 1.26 billion years (1.26 x 109). To generate the amount of 40Ar in the atmosphere would require in round numbers 250 million years. However the model of an 4.5 billion year old earth would estimate that around 90 percent of the 40K had decayed, so originally there could have been around 50 x 1021 grams which would decrease the generation time to about 25 million years.\nBut 40Ar within the earth is only a small part of the story! Just because you have generated the required amount of 40AR due to decay within the earth does not mean that it will all appear in the atmosphere in a short time. Instead the majority will be trapped within the rocks of the earth until it can some how be released to the atmosphere by some type of volcanic event. When the rocks containing the 40Ar are heated to the molten state the gas will escape to the atmosphere except when it as at considerable depth and then the pressure will allow less of the gas to escape. Since there is at present relatively little volcanic action on the earth, in main that at the mid-ocean ridges and a few other isolated volcanic areas, 40Ar gas is released to the atmosphere at a very slow rate of approximately 2.2 x 109 grams per year. The figure below represents a plot of the rate of Argon release to the atmosphere, called outgassing, that has been proposed by one scientific study.\nfrom ref. http://www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/classes/ Geo656/00notes/656_00Lecture25.pdf\nThese theories provide for a much faster outgassing rate and of course allows the present atmospheric Argon levels to be developed in 4.5 billion years since that is the age of the earth that many scientists propose. The plot of the 129Xe is of interest to us only because the study used the known decay rate of 129Iodine to 129Xe and the present atmospheric content of 129Xe to derive the proposed degassing rate. This is possible because 129Iodine has a short half life of 17 million years and today for all practical purposes no longer exists in the earth. Then using this information along with the known decay rate of 40Ar they were able to arrive at a proposed degassing rate with an initial \"burp\" of degassing with the early earth in a molten state. As the earth solidified the degassing rate then entered a second slower phase.\nThe question is are their any other possibilities that would allow for the atmospheric Argon to be developed in a very short time, less than 10,000 years?\na) Could the early earth have had a much higher level of 40K?\nTo generate the required amount of 40AR in less than 10,000 years would require levels of 40K at over 10,000 times the present levels. And then the short time allowed for decay would result in better than 99.8 percent of these high levels remaining at present. Therefore this option can be ruled out!\nb) Possibly during the early stages of creation the decay mode was different and most all, or a very high percentage, of the 40K became 40AR.\nThis could possibly provide up to about an eight fold acceleration in generation of Argon, but well short of the required 10,000 fold increase.\nc) Could the early earth being in a molten state allowed a very rapid outgassing rate, fast enough to allow the majority of the Argon to be generated on the first day?\nAs mentioned there is an indication of an early \"burp\", but the time required for a considerable amount of 40Ar to be generated in the earth limits the magnitude of this initial outgassing phase. And also \"And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.\" of Genesis 1:2 indicates a earth during day one that had a surface cool enough for liquid water to be present. So if the earth was initially in a molten state it could only be for part of day one. Thus requiring a very long day one or ruling out this proposal.\nd) Some have proposed that the impacts of gaseous comets provided the main source for the early earth atmosphere.\nThe interpretation of the early Genesis record to require creation within 6 literal days would not allow time for these proposed turbulent conditions on the earth to settle down to a reasonable steady state following such catastrophic collisions. For this to have been the source of much of the early atmosphere would again require a long day one.\ne) Some have proposed a very rapid burst of radioactive decay at the beginning of creation, a condition that does not fit the laws of physics as we presently know them.\nSuch a burst could only be present during day one and day two of the creation or it would seem to subject all of the early life forms to a greater than \"Chernobyl\" radioactive condition which would seem to be incompatible with the development of life. \"That variations in the ratio of 129Xe to other Xe isotopes as observed suggests (1) the Earth formed shortly (within 170 Ma) after a nucleosynthetic event (probably a supernova), and (2) a substantial fractionation of I from Xe must have occurred early in Earth's history. So 129Xe variations provide clues to the early degassing history of the Earth.\" These conclusions are contrary to this proposal and is the best science available today. Scientists have experimented and theorized about some means of increasing the isotope decay rate, for to do so might be advantageous say in energy generation, but to date no such method or possible theory has been discovered.\nConclusion: The total amount of 40Ar in the atmosphere today and the results of studying the concentrations of the other noble gas levels in the atmosphere and in the earth is another strong indicator of a old age earth.", "char_count": 6197, "token_count": 1549, "k_exact": 3.4306, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8859, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

We don’t really have any details on that, but that’s what we’re hearing mainly from the community. They’d like a way, independent of our own map schedule, which is obviously slowing down, to be able to update their own maps. We’re going to be exploring that.”\n“We’re looking to give users more flexibility rather than less. We’re just in the scoping process now. I don’t have any other specifics I can give other than the intent we’re going to support it.”\nHi-Rez announced on Reddit earlier this week that its focus had shifted away from Tribes: Ascend, instead falling primarily on its upcoming MOBA, SMITE. It also said that game updates had been effectively suspended indefinitely:\n“There are no major dev updates planned for Tribes: Ascend in the next six months.”\n���For the next six months our primary development focus is SMITE. Beyond that it is GA2. And beyond that a TA2 would be more likely than a major update to TA; but to be clear no devs are currently working toward TA2.”\n“Per the development blog on our forums, the recent TA work has been Kate developing some additional maps. If time allows then these new TA maps (along with some bug-fixes) would be finalized and deployed but no committed date yet.”\n“We continue to support TA servers, online community events, tournaments with prizing, bringing Tribes to offline events like recent RTX and upcoming QuakeCon, and live-streaming.”\nTribes: Ascend — which Game Front named one of our top games of 2012 — has only been officially released since April of that year. A free-to-play title, its business model relies on regular updates and players purchasing small bits of content in order to keep the game going. The focus away from development on Tribes: Ascend has raised questions about the title’s financial success.\nMod tools and a map editor could potentially fill the gap regular content updates leave off, but Harris’ comments are by no means a guarantee, despite how excited players may be to have them. But it does seem there’s hope going forward for new Tribes: Ascend content, even if Hi-Rez isn’t producing it.", "char_count": 2943, "token_count": 735, "k_exact": 3.1263, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9433, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "09.03.2012 03:27 PM\nGrass Valley—Graham Sharp, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development\nQ. What broad technology trends do you think will be front-and-center at IBC2012?\nI think a huge focus will be on multiplatform distribution. With the explosion in connected devices Broadcasters everywhere are trying to figure out how to serve and make additional revenues from these platforms without adding complexity, at a time when they are seeing reducing incomes as advertising revenues get spread across more channels and media outlets.\nAt Grass Valley we believe that the technology is finally advanced enough to enable post production, production and distribution to merge into a single collaborative platform, providing multiple format outputs and increasing efficiency. We call it “Non-linear Content Production.”\n“Non-linear content production” will enable producers to create content once and distribute it across multiple platforms faster and more efficiently than ever before.\nQ. Any thoughts on how the current economic climate will affect the show?\nI think it will be a good show. As I mentioned earlier, the current economic climate is forcing broadcasters to look for solutions that create efficiencies and reduce costs, while at the same time offering the potential to serve new platforms and create new revenue streams.\nIt is an exciting time; nonlinear production helps broadcasters solve these issues and with Grass Valleys’ years of experience in storage and IT infrastructure we believe we can help lead the industry into the Internet era.\nQ. What's new that you will show at IBC2012 and that broadcasters should look for there?\nWe will be showcasing end-to-end workflows within the three segments we focus on: News, Live and Distribution, featuring a host of new products from cameras through to playout.\nIn addition, we will be showing several new production tools including new versions of the K2 Dyno slow-motion controller and EDIUS, the industry’s fastest and most versatile editing platform.\nGrass Valley STRATUS, our media workflow application framework is a key component in each of these solutions and we will be showing a host of new features and tools as we continue the transition to end-to-end nonlinear file-based workflows.\nQ. How is your new product offering different from what's available on the market?\nGrass Valley is the only supplier that can offer complete workflow solutions from camera to playout, along with the services required to successfully install and maintain them. Besides our best-in-class switchers, servers and cameras, Grass Valley STRATUS is really setting the bar in terms of workflow management; and the K2 Dyno S replay controller is faster, more agile and has a smaller footprint than anything else currently on the market. And, did you know — EDIUS is the most-used broadcast news editor in the world?\nQ. Where are you based, and how many employees do you have? Anything else we should know about your company?\nGrass Valley is headquartered in San Francisco, Calif., and employs approximately 1,200 staff. For more than half a century Grass Valley has been the leader in broadcasting solutions, offering our customers the latest innovations and the best performance. Unmatched in the industry, our range of services and solutions leverage the economies of scale of the IT industry with our proprietary core knowledge of media processing and storage.\nQ. Last year I asked whether 3D was Hope, Hype or In Between. This year I want to know similar thoughts on ‘social media and broadcasters’.\nA key differentiator for broadcasters is going to be how they utilize the opportunities provided by social media. Using nonlinear production workflows provides broadcasters with the opportunity to easily insert the metadata that enables content to seamlessly integrate with social media. We are already seeing people posting comments about their favorite TV shows on Facebook and Twitter.\nThe ability to create links to shows and additional content on social networking sites will eventually create lucrative, new advertising streams for broadcasters.\nQ. How many years have you been going to the IBC show and what's your fondest memory? What's your favourite restaurant or pub?\nGrass Valley has been exhibiting at IBC since the beginning and I personally have never missed a year, although with a couple of different companies. My fondest personal memory is from my years in a startup, where we had no money and a bunch of us stayed in an apartment and travelled around on cycles. It seemed less stressful than life in the big corporations! My favourite pub in the past was probably the Jolly Sailor. Now, it is De Wildeman, in the alley behind the Crown Plaza.

-{"text": "The IRS wants to tax your illegal income\nAs ridiculous as it sounds, the federal government requires that money acquired through illegal means be reported and taxed just like legitimate income. It’s right there on the official IRS tax instructions: “Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.”\nNot surprisingly, tax experts say few criminals declare their loot.\nBut some do, often when they’ve either been caught during that tax year or think they are about to be caught, says San Francisco tax attorney Stephen Moskowitz, who has helped several clients document their illegal gains. Their goal is to avoid getting charged twice: once for their initial crime, and again for evading the taxes on their windfall. After all, it was tax charges that ultimately put away Al Capone.\nMany of today’s criminals who choose to declare their illegal income are facing embezzlement charges, according to Moskowitz.\nLike Tom Hughes, a New England accountant who was caught — multiple times — stealing money from his clients.\n“I knew the money was taxable, there was no doubt about that,” says Hughes, who now runs an anti-fraud consultancy called Hire-a-thief. “I had already been caught, and I didn’t want to face federal tax charges.”\nHe paid taxes on his illegal gains in 1999 and 2001, and again in 2004, after he stole from another client. After a nine-month prison stint, Hughes swears he’s now reformed.\nSo how many self-confessed crooks does the Internal Revenue Service deal with each year? The agency isn’t saying. A spokesman declined to discuss the issue, saying only that declaring illegal income “is what the law requires.”\nDocumenting illegal income is tricky, Moskowitz says.\nThe IRS doesn’t require any details on the return beyond an approximation of how much you made. The hard part comes if you get audited. There’s usually no paper trail, so IRS agents will typically ask for the names and contact information for people that may have been part of the illegal transaction, Moskowitz says. The agency will then try to verify your numbers with them.\nIf you tell the IRS you made $1 million from stealing money or dealing drugs, does the agency tip off the cops?\nLegally, it can’t, unless a law-enforcement agency gets a court order granting it access to a specific taxpayer’s return. The IRS isn’t supposed to proactively alert other agencies about misdeeds unless terrorism is involved. In that case, it still needs a court order to disclose anything, but the IRS can initiate the legal process on its own.\nThe rules are all spelled out in an IRS guide to “section 6103,” the law that covers tax-return confidentiality. Like many legal statutes, it’s complex and filled with loopholes. For example, the IRS might not be allowed to share the contents of actual tax returns on its own initiative, but it can divulge supplemental information obtained from outside sources — like witnesses interviewed in an audit investigation — “to apprise federal criminal law enforcement agencies of possible crimes,” according to the agency’s guide.\nIn practice, Moskowitz says he thinks information about illegal activities gets shared.\n“Do they report you to other agencies?” he asks. “Absolutely.”\nOther experts agree.\n“The IRS would most certainly immediately report it to law enforcement,” says Joseph Henchman, vice president of legal and state projects at the Tax Foundation, a think tank.\nThe IRS’ spokesman declined to comment on the issue.\nHere’s one upshot to declaring ill-gotten gains: If taxes are paid on it initially, and restitution is part of any settlement or judgment, that restitution is then tax-deductible, says Moskowitz.\nIf you decide to disclose your illegal loot, make sure to do it with the assistance of a tax attorney, not any old accountant.\n“If there’s anything we suspect is criminal, the first thing we do is tell people to get legal advice,” says Gil Charney, principal tax researcher at H&R Block’s Tax Institute. “We don’t have attorney-client privilege. If The IRS or any law enforcement agency contacts us, we have to provide that information.”", "char_count": 4245, "token_count": 1061, "k_exact": 2.6723, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.908, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Then at the beginning of September, I saw a couple buds:\nAnd then there was an agonizing couple weeks while I waited for them to develop enough to open and hoped that they wouldn't fall off. At some point during this wait, I noticed the plant had grown a lot in the three months it's been here. I hadn't realized how small it was to begin with.\nIt also lost the red color it had when it arrived, as you can see. That was never very likely to last, considering how little light I can offer indoors, though I'm surprised that it couldn't keep the color on the west side of a house, outdoors, in a summer when it almost never rained.\nIn any case, the flower finally opened on 18 September, and it was worth the wait:\nIt's only about 2.5 in / 7 cm in diameter, much smaller than the S. gigantea flower. The smell was similar to S. gigantea: unpleasant, but not strong enough to be detectable outside a fairly small radius of the plant, though flies seemed to find it just fine. (In the ten minutes or so that I had it out in front of the house to get pictures, there were at least five flies buzzing around it. None ever actually landed on the flower while I was taking pictures, which is just as well for my purposes but makes me wonder whether the flower was perhaps not fully charged yet, or something. They may also have just been confused about the location: it was a windy morning.)\nAs is customary with Stapelia blooms, I let Sheba sniff it for a while. She was very interested, and sniffed pretty long and hard, then pronounced it plodding and pedestrian, without the playful, impish notes of squirrel carrion or the complexity and layering of feces. She'd been more enthusiastic about the S. gigantea smell. This will probably be the last time I ask her for a stapeliad review.\nThe back of the flower reminds me a bit of a hellebore:\nThe plant has a good six or seven more buds on it. This is a little worrisome. One flower's smell isn't intolerable, but I don't know what two, or four, might be like. The most compelling reasons to allow multiple buds to open simultaneously would be for 1) pictures and 2) the opportunity to get some seed pods. As for the latter: a quick skim of this page, which goes into considerable botanical detail about how stapeliads are pollinated, only revealed that it's too complicated to figure out from a quick skim.

-{"text": "The combination of watching TPM lately and rearranging my prequel trilogy display cabinet helped me to realize how we could really use new versions of the main characters from both TPM and AOTC. Maybe \"vintage\" isn't the right area for it, but if we can't get them in the basic line I hope that we see the Evolutions concept resurrected. Its been discussed before, but there are several figures that really could use new incarnations. The TPM figures seem pretty dated compared to the ROTS/TSC offerings, and many of the AOTC era figures are in the statue/non articulated style. Some I'd like to see re-done now, whatever line we can get them in:\nThe Phantom Menace\nQui-Gon Jinn - one of my favorite PT characters, and his figures really aren't too stellar. Give us one in the style of ROTS Pilot/TSC Obi-Wan Kenobi.\nObi-Wan Kenobi - Again, his figures just look basic compared to what has been done in recent years. Ditto on the ROTS Pilot version, heck just sculpt a new head and they'd be pretty close.\nPadme Amidala - We can always use more Padmes, so basically take your pick here. A new, well articulated one would be welcome.\nJar Jar Binks - This is one we probably won't see, and not that I'm a big fan of Binks either, but his figure(s) either look dated or really static. A new SA one wouldn't be so bad.\nAnakin Skywalker - Not sure if we need a new one or not, the first version really isn't too bad - just under articulated. We'd probably be surprised at how much better they could make one now though.\nAttack of the Clones\nObi-Wan Kenobi - The Outlander Club one isn't too bad, but again, they could do one (maybe just a new head) in the style of the ROTS/TSC version and we'd be set.\nMace Windu - Either movie really, but we still really haven't gotten a decent version of Mace.\nPadme - Again, tons of version to choose from. I wouldn't mind having a new SA version of the Arena Padme. The \"Factory Chase\" one isn't too bad, aside from the screaming face sculpt. Maybe a new head on that figure would go a ways.\nJango Fett - One that's been mentioned a lot, but the versions we've gotten in the past aren't the greatest. My favorite is probably the \"Kamino Escape\" version, but it could really be improved on. Base it off the VOTC Boba Fett sculpt, and maybe retool/repaint a few things - or maybe an all new sculpt is needed.\nI'm pretty satisfied overall with the ROTS offerings. We've got a good Obi-Wan, the Evolutions Anakin is pretty nice (although it could have been in the basic line too), the Padme we got isn't bad (but we could always use more), and within the basic line and Evolutions sets we got nice versions of Dooku, Palpatine, clones, Jedi, etc. If anything, we could maybe use different versions of Palps that we haven't seen (or that could be improved on), more Padmes, and as always, more clones. As far as the other movies, Anakin might be decently covered through the Evolutions sets (aside from kiddo Anakin), and the Obi-Wans might be able to be done with just new heads on the ROTS/TSC figure. Anyways, this just came to mind again after re-arranging some of those prequel figures recently.

I think he'd rather have us be more \"colorful\" and believe in curses and fate and all of that utter BS. I guess that's easier to write about.\nStill, I think what he did quote should pretty much get the essence of what it means to be a Sox fan to those who might \"get it.\"\n10-01-2004, 08:56 PM\nOne of the best articles I've seen about the subject of White Sox fans. It really got to the core of White Sox fans and you could take his description, compare it against the average Cubs fan and see a stark contrast which leads to the animosity. The article was probably aided by the fact its author was coming from a non-Chicago midwest prospective (Let's be honest with ourselves, most of Chicago stands in contrast to the midwest and in comparison with the more cosmopolitan New York, Boston, San Francisco, etc.). I highly recommend this article.\n10-01-2004, 09:11 PM\nI know I'm in the minority here, but I do believe we are cursed.\nOkay, a long time ago our team was a juggernaut and destined to win it all. But fed up with their cheap boss, they conspired to lose on purpose for cash because they would make more money that way. They were caught and brought to trial in the single ugliest moment in baseball's history, and in the process nearly destroyed the game's integrity completely. All the players involved were banned for life and we haven't won a world series since. It's just a coinky-dink, right? I don't think so.\nThe popular reason for our lack of winning is bad management, which we've had in spades. Sure, it all starts at the top. If you have an owner who won't spend money to improve the team or a stupid owner who tries and fails, you have no chance either way. But did you ever consider that having bad owners is part of the curse? Fate brought Reinsdorf and company to own this team. He was never a Sox fan...if he had his druthers, he'd probably be sipping piña coladas from a skybox at Chavez Ravine. But the Sox were up for the taking, so him and his boys took over.\nIf you think about it WE are the only ones in baseball who've done anything truly worthy of an eternal curse. The cubs wouldn't let some hick bring his freakin' goat into the park. If I were a cub fan and could go back, I'd do it again...get that mangy, stinkin' thing off my property! And the Red Sox traded someone to another team. Wow, what evil b#$#@rds they are. Us, on the other hand, well, we nearly destroyed the game by trading the ultimate prize for extra pocket money. Hey, if anyone is cursed, it's us. It does make me feel a little better thinking that something divine and out of our hands is responisble for our failures. But I don't embrace it. I just acknowledge it.\n10-01-2004, 09:13 PM\nOne of the best articles I've seen about the subject of White Sox fans. It really got to the core of White Sox fans and you could take his description, compare it against the average Cubs fan and see a stark contrast which leads to the animosity. The article was probably aided by the fact its author was coming from a non-Chicago midwest prospective (Let's be honest with ourselves, most of Chicago stands in contrast to the midwest and in comparison with the more cosmopolitan New York, Boston, San Francisco, etc.). I highly recommend this article.I think I had the biggest problem with this:\nI'm a romantic at heart, and maybe that is why I had to leave Michigan, with its soul crushing blue collar pessimism. Suggesting natural law, or fate, cuffs the spirit. You can't beat natural law, you can't beat fate, but you can fight a curse. You can wear the same t-shirt to every playoff game and not eat in the fifth through seventh innings to bring good luck to your pitcher. You can pray to your god, kiss a rosary or hold séances in center field to appease ghosts. Curses are meant to be endured... and broken.\nBaseball, merely a game, is about hope and promise and even silly things like good luck and bad. But the White Sox faithful feel that rally caps and appeasing a dead ballplayer won't beat a mediocre stadium, won't defeat the drawback of trying to attract quality players to the Sox, won't erase injuries, plain or bizarre. Sox fans suffer from the same sort of blue collar angst that keeps places like Chicago's South Side, Detroit, Michigan, and Gary, Indiana in the doldrums, seemingly forever. Good luck won't bring jobs and rebuild a downtown. It won't rebuild old Comiskey. This is life, and that's nothing you can do about it. And that's pretty sad.\nI prefer to think that my view of the Sox has more to do with 50 years of putting up with the same crap year after year after year than it does with the kind of blue collar angst blah blah blah.\nHowever, that's about the only real problem I have with the article...well that and the fact that he seemed to miss the fact that H. Vickery's law is strictly tongue in cheek, my way of satirizing the curses attributed to the Flubs while pointing out that there really is no such thing as luck or curses or anything of the sort. What happens happens. And a lot of what happens to us comes from unfortuitous happenstance orn most often from bad ownership.\n10-02-2004, 11:15 AM\nI thought it was a very good article, except for being over done a bit with the curses I thought it was good at capturing the way we all feel. The roots of Sox fans and just their general nature was captured very well in this article. I thought an excellent job overall.\nvBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.", "char_count": 5978, "token_count": 1494, "k_exact": 2.5869, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8945, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Time flies! Last year around now, I was moving to a completely new city, meeting strangers I would not have otherwise met, and doing lele homework until the wee hours of the morning. No matter how much the 2nd years tried to drill into our heads that jobs are more important, we just refused to buy it. Last night, I was sitting with my buddy Eric in the case rooms applying to jobs. It was dejavu to its max. As I passed by the stuffy hallways, I noticed all the “trees” drawn on the whiteboard. Of course, decision trees! In the spirit of decision trees, I just want to share some 2nd year wisdom with the 1st years. All the things that the 2nd years are telling you right now are for you to not go down that dead node in your decision tree. I understand you all are overwhelmed with information, but take a minute and chew on them. Your ultimate goal for getting an MBA degree is to get that dream job you’ve been longing for. Don’t put off the networking, career coaching until later! When you realize that you have to get back on the job wagon, it’s already too late. I will end with the title of Incubus’s newest album: “If not now, when?”.\nOh man, tonight is the biggest event of the AMBAA. We have a great line-up of student performers and professional performers, each of them bringing a piece of their culture and heritage. On top of that, this entire event is MC’ed by yours truly. I haven’t really done anything like this before, so I’m extremely nervous. Nevertheless I think this is what being an MBA student is about, stepping out of your comfort zone. I see this as a great opportunity to promote the AMBAA’s presence at Smith, and also hone my public speaking skills. Practice makes perfect, I am looking forward to tonight!\nThis event was hosted by yours truly and Karan Arora (also a 1st Year MBA). Karan put together an amazing video recollecting the two Asia trips that took place this winter. We interviewed the participants of the China Business Competition in Beijing, also the Study Abroad Trip to India and put together a short film describing their experiences. We also had a panel with Julie Mullins, Ken Chen, Eric Choi and Pradeep Suthram, they answered many questions regarding business etiquette in Asia and shared interesting tidbits of their trip. Overall the event was a success, it was both informative and entertaining. Btw, the Vietnamese sandwiches were really delicious!\nIn every spring semester at Smith, we dedicate an entire week to celebrate the diversity of the school. We started the week with a Chinese New Year Party at Mandarin Delight. The main color theme of the night was red, which represents good luck in the Chinese culture. We taught everyone how to sing the Chinese New Years song, everyone was really into it and sang along. It was an honor to have Professor Lele and Professor Bailey each heading a team to participate in the dumpling making contest! Professor Lele’s team prevailed, but I am not sure how many dumplings can survive in the boiling water to be eaten afterwards.\nWhat a week! Two internship interviews, internship search, case write-ups, team project meetings, Graduate Assistant meeting, new markets growth fund applications…Luckily, thursday classes were canceled due to the snow. The most difficult part was adjusting my sleeping schedule from 1.5 months time off. The classes for this semester are really interesting, a lot of case based class discussions. I’m looking forward to the exciting opportunities and challenges ahead!\nAfter a much anticipated and lengthy winter break, I am finally back to school. The pre-class jitters have occupied my mind for the better part of week. With all the school work ahead and preparations for interviews, I am very overwhelmed to say the least. But I am looking forward to see my friends from MBA, I want to hear about their winter experiences, whether it’s traveling around the world or internship search etc. I am excited and nervous about my own internship interviews as well, I am trying to prepare for two on-campus interviews that are coming up this week. Wish me luck!\nGrowing up in New Jersey, I have always been curious about what goes on in the skyscrapers in NYC. The concrete jungles were merely blocks with lights that made up the NYC skyline. My goal is to explore what’s inside of those buildings. Luckily, the Finance Association organized a Career Trek for the finance-focuses MBA students to visit some of the biggest players in the financial industry.\nThe Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park is a 1,200 ft (366 m) skyscraper in the Midtown Manhattan district of New York City, in the United States. It is located on Sixth Avenue, between 42nd and 43rd Street, opposite Bryant Park.\nThe US$1 billion project has been designed by Cook+Fox Architects to be one of the most efficient and ecologically friendly buildings in the world. It is the second tallest building in New York City, after the Empire State Building, and the fourth tallest building in the United States. Construction was completed in 2009.\nJPMorgan Chase Tower at 270 Park Avenue, New York\nOne Beacon Court (also called the Bloomberg Tower), is a skyscraper on the East Side of Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It houses the headquarters of Bloomberg L.P. in the lower floors and luxury condominiums in the higher floors. It is located at 731 Lexington Avenue between East 58th and 59th streets. It is currently the 15th tallest building in New York and the 46th tallest in the United States. The building’s zip code is 10022.\nIt was such an eye-opening experience to walk into these buildings and talk with our alumni that work at these perspective companies. Discussing current issues with Senior Bankers and Managing Directors of these big firms seemed surreal, at the same time informative. NY Trek definitely bridged the gap between my goals and reality. I look forward to the challenges that I will face during my internship search in NYC, because dreams are made in these concrete jungles.\nI came to business school for many reasons: advance my education and build a new network of friends to name a couple. However, there has been one benefit that I had not counted on. It never factored into the equation when I was comparing business schools. It never made it into the schedule of major events and classes that I made before attending Smith. It never even entered my mind until orientation. I can only be talking about one thing: flag football. Unless I get a scholarship from Maryland to be their punter, it’s the closest any of us will get to a meaningful sporting event for a long, long, long time. Taking the ride over to the fields, Rick Spadaro (WR, 5’9’’, 165lbs, Drexel University, Strength: Speed, Needs to work on: Humility, Most like: Wes Welker), Anthony Moniello (WR/FS, 6’0’’, 185lbs, George Washington University, Strength: Coverage, Needs to work on: Capturing the Sleeve Monster, Most like: Troy Polamalu), and I (TE, 6’5’’, 250lbs, Washington and Lee University, Strength: Soft Hands, Needs to work on: not making fun of his friends in blog posts, Most like: Antonio Gates) get pumped up for the game by blasting “All I Do Is Win” (that’s right, we haven’t lost a game yet).\nOnce the game starts, we’re like our school: all business (only corny joke I swear). Something happens when you play under those Monday Night Lights. The air feels crisper and the turf causes more raspberries. Our defense is stalwart; our offense, relentless. As the pressure builds, we keep our composure, but still continue to joke about how we’re adding or dropping each other from our fantasy teams. After the victory, we hold our own informal team dinner, whether it is at Cal Tort, Chick-fil-a, or the case rooms doing finance homework. And after our Monday night games, what is there to look forward to the rest of the week? Oh ya, our coed games on Tuesday nights.\nThis week has been one of my busiest weeks here at Smith. The 7-week long core courses had come to an end. We had a final exam in Managerial Economics on Monday and a final exam in Financial Accounting on Wednesday. Our Human Capital & Leadership professor also had “strategically” sandwiched a quiz in between those finals on Tuesday (Professor Chen, I still like your class!). Needless to say my sleep to study ratio was disproportionally magnified during those days. After getting over the post-exam jitters, I had some time to reflect on my first MBA class experience on my drive back to New Jersey. I was astonished on how many topics we covered in those classes. From write-offs, allowance to impairment loss and accumulated other cumulative income (AOCI), Professor Hann has covered the universal language of business. The Swahili-looking balance sheets and cash-flow statements had been translated to meaningful business transactions in my eyes. The asymmetric curves and lines that professor Sampson had drawn in economics class are now tools to describe the market’s supply and demand. Although I sighed with the feeling of relief after those exams, my curiosity has never been so heightened about the more advanced classes that Smith has to offer. Next week, spring registration is set to start. After looking at the elective schedules, I am faced with another dilemma: there are so many classes that I want to take, but there aren’t enough time in the day to take all of them!\nHow best to relax? It was the question I kept asking myself during study breaks the weekend before our Financial Management and Data Models and Decisions tests. I wanted to do something different, and not just celebrate with the cracking of a beer. After brainstorming with a classmate, we decided to go to a Terps soccer game. Initially, I believed this would be a small event, but more and more people kept expressing interest in attending as well, and soon we had about 20 people confirmed. After the tests, we met in a case room to eat some dinner and collectively exhale after a tough day. We deserved a break and a reason to act unlike MBA students. With our brains fried from all the studying, we were in the perfect mood to cheer like hooligans at the World Cup. And to us, it might as well have been. I’m sure the other people around did not enjoy our excessive enthusiasm, but we didn’t care. It was a bunch of people who still didn’t really know each other coming together to root, yell, and (for some) go shirtless in supporting our new favorite soccer team (please don’t tell anyone I still have some allegiances to the opponent that day). As much fun as the soccer game was, I enjoyed the dinner in the case room more – twenty people in a small case room makes for a lot of intimacy. I just can’t wait for the next round of tests to come, because I know we’ll do something similar, yet completely different from the norm to collectively relax.\nAdam is a fellow 1st Year MBA student at the Smith School. He is in the same track as me, therefore we have every core class together. It is great to have Adam in the classroom, his witty and intelligent comments definitely lightens up the classroom. I look forward to more posts from Adam, I hope you are too.", "char_count": 11142, "token_count": 2785, "k_exact": 1.809, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7496, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "BARCLAYS ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS 2012\nDel Potro Intent On Being Part Of The Club In 2013\nby ATP Staff|\nAfter coming up one set shy of reaching the title match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, World No. 7 Juan Martin del Potro shared his goal of competing alongside the ATP’s top trio of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray in the 2013 season.\n“Being in the semi-finals in this tournament is so big for me,” said the 24-year-old Argentine. “It’s still Federer, Djokovic, Murray and me. It was the same four players in the Olympics, and in the US Open - the last Grand Slam - was Murray and Djokovic in the final. So those big names are in every big tournament. Sometimes I can be part of them. It’s going to be my big challenge for the next year.”\nThe 2009 US Open champion once again proved his ability to defeat the world’s best this season. He beat Djokovic in the bronze medal match at the London 2012 Olympics, and posted consecutive wins over Federer two weeks ago in the Swiss Indoors Basel final and on Saturday at The O2. (He has not played Murray since 2009.)\n“These kind of matches give me illusions for the next season,” he shared. “I beat Roger yesterday. I was close to beating Nole today. In the end, they are too good for me, but I’m getting closer every day.\n“Maybe it could be my big challenge for next year, my big goal, trying to fight at all Grand Slams with this group. They win all the Grand Slams: Novak, Federer, Rafa and now Murray. I would like to be part of those names in the Grand Slams.”\nDel Potro reached the quarter-finals at three of the four majors and won a career-high 65 matches in 2012. In addition to his bronze medal, he captured four ATP World Tour titles, including back-to-back triumphs at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna and in Basel over the final weeks of the season to clinch his first trip to The O2 since his runner-up finish to Nikolay Davydenko in 2009.\n“It was so nice for me,” he said of his experience this week. “All the crowd was full for every singles match and doubles matches. The players love that. We enjoy when many people come to see our games and enjoy the games. I have big fans from Argentina who came to watch me here. It’s amazing. I think this tournament is so good to enjoy, and the crowd was fantastic with all the players.\n“Now I close the year at a very good level.

-{"text": "I wonder what Victor Hugo would think of the musical based on his book, “Les Misérables.” The Broadway show has certainly surpassed the book in terms of popularity, to the point that there may be a significant number of fans who have no idea it was ever anything else.\nThe novel is more ponderous, more focused on the plight of the poor and destitute in France at the time, whereas the musical is bombastic and full of elaborate set pieces. This is just as true in the new Academy Award-nominated film. There isn’t much about the film that hasn’t already been covered. It’s certainly good—one of the film best musicals I’ve seen in recent years. But there hasn’t been a lot of recent competition. And while there are several incredible performances in the movie, it is by no means equal to the stage show.\nWhat the film has is a wider canvass on which to paint the setting—it has visual effects that are stunning and vast. It feels like France, despite all the English. I might have enjoyed it more in French, but this is America after all. My only complaint is that the film is a musical and music should take precedence. The settings and costumes should all take a backseat to the songs. There isn’t room for movie stars with mediocre voices.\nFor the uninitiated, the story follows convict Jean Val Jean, who was imprisoned for 20 years after stealing a loaf of bread. He finds that 19th century France is unforgiving of men with a past and flees his parole to start a new life. He is pursued by the unrelenting Javert, an officer who believes that all criminals are doomed to repeat their crimes. Over the course of the film, Valjean takes in the daughter of a dying prostitute and moves from city to city, hoping for peace. However, peace in France is hard to achieve when the masses are starving.\nThe narrative structure of the film is told entirely through song—there is no dialogue. This is an especially difficult form of musical, one that requires absolute professionals. When the film succeeds, it soars. Anne Hathaway is absolutely stunning as Fantine. Her accolades are well deserved. Hugh Jackman, despite his resume as a Broadway performer, is not quite up to the task of Jean Valjean. Valjean is a very difficult part and Jackman is singing at the top of his range, which at times can be grating. Russell Crowe is miscast as Javert—he is a fine actor and a competent singer, but his voice just isn’t right for the part. Luckily, there are other Broadway actors who fill out the company well. Samantha Barks has some especially powerful scenes. However, for a film like this to work, everyone needs to be at the same level and the weak parts of the cast are noticeable.\nI’ll admit that “Les Miz” isn’t my favorite musical. There are only three or four good songs in the entire show, strung together with recitative that doesn’t move or inspire. This is mostly personal preference, however, and doesn’t make the film any less impressive. The staging and scope of the visuals are likely to please fans to no end. The opening scene alone is worth the price of admission. I simply prefer a different style of musical —“Guys and Dolls” for instance, or “Singing in the Rain.” Both of those musicals have wonderful film interpretations and I hope that Hollywood knows to leave well enough alone.\nIf the success of “Les Misérables” is any indication, there may soon be an influx of big-budget Hollywood musicals. The film has exploded in terms of both box office draw and critical acclaim. It isn’t that there is a larger for fan base for the musical —“Rent” likely has more fans—but “Les Misérables” has struck a chord with audiences, as well as the Academy. If this is the beginning of a trend, I hope Hollywood understands that most actors aren’t Broadway quality singers and Anne Hathaway isn’t always available. A bit of caution goes a long way.

We knew that when a break came we could go through.\"\nSo effectively did South Africa hang in that Sarwan and Hooper could add only 57 runs during the afternoon session before Sarwan\nsuccumbed to the pressure and was caught at square leg trying to hook.\nThat started another collapse in which the last five wickets fell for 19 runs.\nPollock said the slow pitch and slow scoring rate added to the intensity of a match in which he said fortunes shifted throughout.\nWest Indian captain Carl Hooper said he was disappointed with the collapse Wednesday morning. \"We had four days of good cricket and\nthen fell away today,\" he said.\nHooper said more application was needed by the batsmen. \"We need to turn 40s into hundreds,\" he said. But Hooper said he was heartened\nthat the West Indies had shown they were competitive during the first two Tests of a five-match series. The first match in Georgetown, Guyana,\nSarwan fell to a spectacular catch shortly before tea. Just when it seemed his stand with Hooper had swung the game back to the West\nIndies, Sarwan hooked Jacques Kallis and Nicky Boje, fielding about 45m from the bat, turned and leaped to hold a fine catch.\nRidley Jacobs, who made 93 not out in the first innings, was the last major batsman and he started aggressively before being run out.\nCalled for a leg bye by Hooper, Jacobs was beaten by the speed and accurate throw of Herschelle Gibbs who raced in from backward point\nto pick up the ball near the batsmans wicket and throw down the stumps at the bowlers end.\nHooper finished with 54 not out after batting for 230 minutes. He faced 172 balls and hit five fours. Kallis finished with four for 40.\nAllan Donald took the first two wickets of the morning after the West Indies resumed at 32 for one.\nSouth African captain Shaun Pollock had Chris Gayle caught behind and Makhaya Ntini claimed the prize wicket of Brian Lara with his first\ndelivery of the innings.\nThe West Indies slide started in the fourth over of the day when nightwatchman Dinanath Ramnarine edged a hard catch to Kallis at second\nslip off Donald without adding to the 11 runs he scored Tuesday.\nMarlon Samuels hit two impressive boundaries but had made only nine when he went on the back foot to Donald and edged another catch to\nKallis at second slip.\nWith several deliveries keeping low, going back was becoming increasingly hazardous but Gayle, after making a solid 23, went back to\nPollock and edged a low catch to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher.\nDonald was rested after a spell of 7-3-8-2 and his replacement, Ntini, struck a crucial blow with his first delivery, dismissing star batsman\nLara for the third time in successive innings.\nLara went back on his stumps and was struck low on the pad. West Indian umpire Billy Doctrove gave him out but replays showed the ball\nhad pitched well outside leg stump.", "char_count": 3722, "token_count": 930, "k_exact": 2.6997, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9291, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

After top ten finishes by Jazzy Hurikino and Kate Chilcott at UCI Gatineau GP in Canada, and podiums from ruth Winder in the UK, Emily Collins went on a rampage scoring a dozen podium finishes and winning Pleasanton Fast and Furious.\nVanderkitten-Focus has continued its winning season, with two squads racing simultaneously on the East and West coasts of the USA this past Memorial Day weekend- and WINNING both races.\nIn California, Maura Kinsella was supported by teammates Starla Teddergreen, Courtney Dimpel and Vanessa Drigo in a hotly contested Memorial Day Criterium presented by San Jose Bicycle Club.\nAfter a race filled with ferocious attacking by the Vanderkitten-Focus gals, Maura put in a massive attempt in the closing laps of the race. Despite a concerted chase from the entire peloton led by the Red Racing Team, Maura managed to hold off her opponents and claim the victory.\nFor a full report in classic MKULTR4 style, read her blog here\nWhile this was going on, Bridie O’donnell, Kathleen Billington, Jazzy Hurikino, Emily Collins and Kate Chilcott were tearing up the east coast at the USA’s longest running race, Tour of Somerville, New Jersey.\nAgainst a stacked field of 65 top shelf crit riders, Vanderkitten-Focus launched multiple attacks to soften up the opposition. In the finale, a stellar, full force lead out by all 5 VK teammies led Ruth to her biggest win to date, edging out Laura Van Gilder in the throw to the line. Emily Collins, who ran 5th, explained “Ruth has got a huge kick! Van Gilder jumped after the great leadout by Kathleen, but when Ruth went as well only 100metres out, she really surprised with her speed”.\nA fantastic win for Ruth as she heads to USACrits Palm Bluffs and Glencoe GP this weekend with Van Dimpel and Teddergreen, while Collins, Hurikino, Chilcott, O’Donnell and Bilington race UCI 1.1 Liberty Classic in Philadelphia on Sunday.\njennifer Reither led the Vanderkitten-Focus to their 11th win of the season by taking out the final leg of the Tour de Grove MOPRO Series in Missouri.\nHere is Jenn’s Race report:\nA weekend at MoPro St. Louis MO.\nThe kittens were in St. Louis this past weekend racing hard and successfully bringing home a WIN!\nLOOP de LOOP\nThe Kittens opened up with a warm reception at Friday night’s Loop de Loop, making their presence known by launching attacks, contesting primes and ripping the legs off the field. The crowd went crazy cheering and screaming GO Vanderkitten! The litter attacks included a purrrrfect launch and time off the front from Ruth Widner. Jasmine “Jazzy” Hurikino, hit awesome counter attacks after Captain Kitten JennX was reeled back in by the pack on a few occasions. The fan’s passion and support paid off as the team delivered kitten Kate “Chilly” Chicott to a 3rd place finish.\n1st Sam Schneider – Tibco\n2nd Sarah Feder – Pepper Palace\n3rd Kate Chilcott\nSaturday’s race in The Grove was another day of attacking and chasing. The pack was a bit more aggressive as this race was part of the National Criterium Calendar and the heavy hitters were out for sprint points and a prestigious win. Vanderkitten raced the windy 1.5 mile course as tactically as possible sending girls off the front and having other team’s reel them back in. The wind took a toll on team VK. Efforts being put in were taking the kick and zap out of each kitten’s legs. We did have the extra kitty power with Maura “MK Ultra” Kinsella joining us with Fresh legs, who chased down attacks and stayed close to sprinter Emily “Mooney” Collins along with her teammate Jazzy. On the last lap, Jazzy strung out the pack for the last 2 while Jr. Kitten, Ruth “1K” Widner took a nice flying and spent a few laps off the front. took teammate Emily “Mooney” Collins through the last corner for the 200 meter sprint, Emily took a chance to sprint the open lane to the right but it was Erica Allar who won from the left lane. Emily held on for 4th.\n1st Erica Allar – Ride Clean\n2nd Sam Schneider – Tibco\n3rd Laura van Gilder – Mellow Mushroom\n4th Emily Collins – Vanderkitten\nWithout a win on the books for the weekend, Sunday’s race in Dutchtown was the last opportunity for VK to bring it home for the team. The plan stays the same… RACE the hell out of your bike. Whoever wins this race will have to put in a lot of work to do so. From the gun “MK Ultra” launches an attack, using her mad TT skill stays away for 10 minutes. Once reeled in “Chilly” hurts that pack on the climb, and then Jazzy launches with another rider on her wheel and stays away till 4 to go. When Jazzy is reeled in I launch a vicious attack getting a 11 second gap quickly, all the while, “1K Widner” and the rest of the kittens are protecting “Mooney” near the front of the pack. Quick side note, while Jazzy was off the front, Ruth railed a corner, flatted, skipped her bike across the pack and STAYED UPRIGHT!!! Mad skills, glad I saw it; no one would have believed her. From here on out the details get a bit vague as I was lacking oxygen, seeing stars and bottles Michelob Ultra (Title sponsor banners). I think people were telling me I had a gap of 20 seconds at 2 to go, but all I could hear was my mind saying, “Frack!! 2 more laps, Mooney better be ready when I get caught”. I think to myself to push just a bit harder to make them chase me and wear out the other sprinters legs. So put it to them I do and never look back. I then had the finish line in sight, thinking that the pack was on my heels I gave it every effort I could to get across the line, and I did, so exhausted that I couldn’t even fist pump my victory. I did finally looked back and wondered where the rest of the pack was, a spectator told me I had a 27 second gap, I was shocked.\nThe plan came together and the Vanderkittens did it as a team. This win meant so much to me, because it meant so much to all of us, Emily, Jazzy, Kate, Maura, Ruth, Bridie, Courtney, Starla, Vanessa, Jono, Dave and the Fans to celebrate another victory for Vanderkitten.\n1st Jennifer Reither – Vanderkitten\n2nd Sarah Feder – Pepper Palace\n3rd Laura Van Gilder – Mellow Mushroom\nEnjoy the photos,\nEnjoy the Ride\nCaptain JennX Fairy Princess\nFor more pics and story, click JennBonics Blog\nYesterday, Aussie powerhouse Bridie O’Donnell rode a fast race at the Amgen Tour of California Womens Invitational TT. The 2009 Australian TT Champion clocked a 44:34 over the windswept 29km course that the Pro men contested directly afterwards. Report and more pics to come!\n3 Time Oceania Champion and 2009 Australian Open Pro Time Trial Champ Bridie O’Donnell has been announced as one of the ten elite women to contest the 2nd annual Amgen Tour of California Women’s TT presented by SRAM.\nThe event, run in conjunction with the Mens Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California in Bakersfield, is set to once again showcase the very top female Time Triallists in the world, with 2008 Olympic Gold Medal Winner Kristin Armstrong (USA) recieving top billing against esteemed company including Sweden’s Emilia Fahlin (Specialized Lululemon) and USA’s Alison Powers (Now and Novartis for MS).\nFor Vanderkitten-Focus, the invite represents an important milestone in the development of the squad as a top tier team.\nAccording to Vaderkitten-Focus Sports Director Jono Coulter: “Vanderkitten has always strived to empower women through athletics, and we are thrilled that AEG and Medallist have once again created an event in which the worlds best female cyclists are showcased alongside the best male riders in the world at their event. Vanderkitten owner Dave Verrecchia has consistently built upon the success of the program every year, and we were thrilled to be a part of the inaugural Amgen Tour of California Women’s Criterium in 2008, where the kitties were among the crowd favourites! Over successive years we have built an International squad capable of competing on the world stage and now, with the inclusion of Bridie, have one of the worlds top Time Triallists on our team. To have Bridie rocking the Vanderkitten-Focus kit in one of the most prestigious specialty women’s events in the USA. We could not be more happy”.\nBridie will race a 2012 Focus Izalco Chrono 1.0 at the event, with Kask K.31 Chrono Helmet giving her an aero advantage over the 29km slightly rolling course.\nVanderkitten-Focus has enjoyed a #kickass first quarter of the year, with Jazzy hurikino scoring the 10th win of the season this weekend at the 39th annual Mikes Bikes Classic in Los Gatos California.\nJazzy was one of the favourites heading into the prestigous event, having won the 2010 edition of the famed hilly criterium as a 19 year old.\nWith Katheryn Curi Mattis Directing and on form Vanderkitten-Focus team behind her, however, Jazzy was unstoppable.\nFrom lap two Hurikino and Kiwi teammie Emily Collins broke away from the pack over the famed 19% power climb, and when a Stevens Pactimo rider, Marley Smith bridged on the downhill, VK’s Kate Chilcott also came across. This made it 3 VK riders in a 4 rider break!\nThe bunch would not give in easily however, and over multiple ascents of the brutal climb, the peloton slowly reeled the breakaway to within launching distance.\nWith 5 to go it was gruppo compatto so without hesitation VK team captain Jenn Reither launched a solid attack and cleared the field, gaining 12 seconds immediately with only 4 laps to go.\nThe chase behind was furious and with 2 to go Jenn X was brought back into the field. no sooner had she come back that it was 3 time Oceania champion Bridie O’Donnell that made a bid for the line. The proven 2009 Time Trial Champion of Australia established a huge gap and the field was reduced to a selection of only the best as\nthey worked to contain the damage.\nWith half a lap to go, the last time up the climb Bridie was caught and this time Jazzy made her move. Within 300 metres she had formed a 100 metre gap to the field and put her head down with only half a mile of downhill to the finish line.\nTo the joy of the assembled crowd and sponsors, as well as Jazzy’s parents who had stepped off an international flight from Australia and made their way straight to the race, crossed the line and threw her hands in the air with exhausted jubilation.\nOnly 2 seconds later her friend and teammate Emily Collins crossed the line punching her fists, with another Aussie, SportVelo’s Bec Werner in 3rd.\nA momentous day for the Vanderkitten-Focus program and all is looking good for the next 2 months of competition that will see racing across the USA and UCI events in Canada and Philadelphia.\nEarlier in the month Vanderkitten-Focus had notched some top performances at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, with Emily Collins 3rd on Stage 1 and Emily and Kate recording top ten finishes in the final Circuit Race.\nThe 2012 Redlands Cycling Classic lived up to its hype as a spectacular kickoff to the Women’s NRC season. Vanderkitten-Focus sent a strong squad of 8 athletes, and although bad luck hit the team early on in the tour, our resilient kitties carried on in brave fashion representing VK in style!", "char_count": 11147, "token_count": 2786, "k_exact": 2.972, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9586, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Logan Miller, a student at Boyertown Junior High West and former student at Pine Forge Elementary, is one day looking to serve his county—and right now he’s trying to help his community.\nIn preparation for applying to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Logan is looking to showcase his interest in community service by bringing the Greater Berks Food Bank Weekender Backpack program to the Boyertown Area School District.\nThe program provides backpacks filled with nutritional foods to needy children every Friday during the school year to help get the child through the weekend.\n“It’s enough food to feed a child for the weekend,” Julie explained. “Nutritious and easy [items] that a child can make themselves if necessary.” Crackers, instant oatmeal and yogurt were among some of the options listed. “Some students have parents that are less than involved; this food doesn’t require a lot of preparation. It’s meant to be easily done with little supervision.”\nFive out of 7 of the district’s elementary schools qualify for the program according to the food bank. To quality, a school must have 25 percent or higher of the student population which qualifies for free or reduced price school meals. The five schools include: Pine Forge Elementary, Colebrookdale Elementary, Boyertown Elementary, Washington Elementary and Earl Elementary.\nAccording to Logan’s mother, Julie Miller, the family has reached out to Boyertown Superintendent Dr. Richard Faidley for support and they received just that. According to Julie, Faidley stated that while there is no money in this district’s budget—he fully supports the effort and will help in any way he can.\nMore than a dozen Berks County schools currently participate in the Weekender Backpack program, according to the Greater Berks Food Bank website.\nIt takes approximately $9,500 to fill all the backpacks for one school weekly for an entire school year. Logan’s ultimate goal is to raise $50,000 in order to feed all of the qualifying students at all 5 qualifying elementary schools for the entire school year.\nAccording to Julie, they plan to fundraise for as long as it takes and will bring it to one school at a time if need be. She added that schools can decline the program, but she’s happy to have the district’s support. The family’s goal right now is to get the word out about the program.\nThere are still things that need to be worked out, such a place to store food and available volunteers to fill the backpacks. The bags would be filled each Thursday to be taken on Friday; students would return them each Monday.\n“We’ve never done fund-raising before; hopefully we can start it and bring to a handful of kids.”\nLogan did all of the research regarding the program and gathered information from the food bank about Boyertown’s qualifications. Following his lead, his family became involved in the effort.\nThey have set up a donation site to try and raise enough money to bring the program to as many students in the district as possible. Donations can be made at http://www.gofundme.com/9zdjiw.\nJulie also made mention of the fact that there is no program during the summer months and was curious whether families took advantage of the various programs and pantries. Looking ahead, she would like to address the hunger that many students likely experience when school is out on summer break.\n“Go big or go home,” she said, in reference to the goals ahead.", "char_count": 3408, "token_count": 852, "k_exact": 2.3839, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8724, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "I was asked to speak to the Quinte Field Naturalists recently about personal steps towards sustainability. I knew this group had a great many “birders” in it, so I was a bit apprehensive. Birders in my area have been very outspoken against big wind. So let me state three things here first.\n- I love wind power. Big, small, local, at my house, in the ocean, in fields, I love wind power. This is my bias.\n- Wind turbines kill birds. Not many, but some. How many is what is relevant.\n- Big wind turbines take some getting used to. Even though I love the look of big wind turbines, I am the first to admit that when 90 of them went up on Wolfe Island, they changed the look of the landscape. I don’t think it’s in a bad way, but many in my province do.\nOntario is blessed with lots of wind power. Big open areas, especially near large bodies of water, are windy. Ontario includes shoreline on Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. They are great lakes indeed. Not only is it a mind-boggling amount of fresh water, it’s a huge potential clean energy resource because the wind sweeps across these large bodies of water.\nOur province enacted “The Green Energy Act” which is one of the most progressive clean power programs in the world. We now have lots of wind turbines and solar panels in service or being planned. The Green Energy Act shifts all the risk for the power generation from the government to individuals and corporations. If you put up a wind turbine, you pay for it, you pay to get the power lines to it, you pay to insure it and all that the province does is commit to purchase the electricity you generate at a fixed price. In a province that is saddled with 10 of billions of dollars worth of debt from our nuclear plants, and 10 of billions of dollars worth of obligations to decommission those plants and dispose of their waste and insure them while they operate, it’s a great deal for taxpayer and ratepayers.\nBut enough of my proselytizing. People in this province don’t seem to like green energy. Or they claim to be supportive of “wind power” or “hydro power” or “solar power,” just not anywhere near where they live. Europe hasn’t had the kind of push back we have in this province and I don’t understand why it’s so strong here. But the opposition is very vocal.\nWe hear a lot about wind turbines killing birds. So when I spoke to this group I was expecting pushback on the topic. I decided that I’d better do some research to share with this group.\nI found a website for the “Fatal Light Awareness Program” or “FLAP” (http://www.flap.org/) They are a group of birders who are concerned by how many birds get killed by large buildings. Their report states that 14,000 migratory birds die every day in Toronto. There’s photo of just some of the dead birds that they have collected. It’s heart breaking.\nUnder their “Birds and Buildings” menu they have this “Hierarchy of Threats” chart. It is backed up by this report from the NRC. (Go to http://www.wind-watch.org/docviewer.php and scroll down to find it on the right-hand side NRC_Wind_Report_050307.pdf)\nAccording to this report, collisions with buildings kill 976 million birds a year, high tension wire collisions kill at least 130 million, and on and on. Wind turbines are about .003% of the total. These numbers are likely to grow as the number of turbines increase and wind turbines do kill birds, but apparently much less than other hazards. I’ve never heard anyone in this province suggesting that we take down power lines, buildings, communication towers or that we ban hunting, house cats or vehicles. And yet these obstructions and hazards are a far greater threat to birds than wind turbines.\nThis website; http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/collisions/index.html, has some American stats.\nAnother important point is that climate change is wreaking havoc on all creatures, especially birds. We had two weeks of summer last March, then the worst heat and drought on record around here. How can that not have a major impact on such a vulnerable creative? Climate change is a far greater risk to birds and wind turbines represent a solution, albeit not the perfect one. I don’t think many people will deny that any more.\nAn article from the November 2, 2012 Toronto Star entitled “Birders swoop in for diverted flights” talked about the many birders who went to Fort Erie for the opportunity to see birds that they’ve never seen before. Hurricane Sandy had blown these birds to the Great Lakes. Some birds will die because they need food that is only available in salt water. Ron Rideout, a biologist for Bird Studies Canada, is quoted as saying “The Atlantic birds don’t get back home because they generally don’t fly over land and may become confused. They fly around in circles and die of starvation or exhaustion.”\nIt is important for wind turbines to be located and built properly to limit their risk to migratory birds as much as possible.\nAfterwards I spoke individually to a number of people and everyone seemed to have stories about birds at risk. One person told me about his friend whose job involves going out early in the morning, before commuters have arrived, to clean up the dead birds from the night before around tall office buildings. Another person had spent two weeks at an East Coast bird rockery this past summer. He noticed that many of the newly hatched chicks died. He mentioned his observation to a government research scientist and the scientist had observed this as well. The scientist suggested that the warming of the ocean water was causing fish to move further offshore which made it difficult for the parents to find food to feed their young.\nI believe those opposed to wind turbines and those in favor of wind turbines share the same desire for a stable climate that birds (and all life on the planet) can thrive in. I sit at my computer and watch birds successfully dodge the guy wires of my wind tower every day. I have never, ever, seen a bird make contact with one of them or a blade on the turbine. I have never found a dead bird or bat at the base of my wind turbine.\nAs I sit at my computer I often hear the “thud” of a bird that has hit one of my windows. Most of the time they fly off but about once a month I find a dead bird below a window that wasn’t so lucky. My window killed it. And don’t get me started on “Lizzie the Terminator Cat.”\nIf I was a bird and my option was extinction because of lack of food or other climate-related fate like getting blown hundreds of miles from home in a super storm, versus having to navigate the blades of a wind turbine, I’d take my odds with the turbine every time.\nPhoto courtesy of Kenneth Herdy/FLAP\nFor more information about Cam Mather or his books, please visit www.cammather.com or www.aztext.com", "char_count": 6795, "token_count": 1698, "k_exact": 2.1136, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7917, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

She was very determined to not let this define her and move on with her life.”\n“He came in and sat by my bedside and we really bonded and he wanted to do anything he could to help, I made a promise to him that I would teach him to dance, it was wonderful to do that,” Haslet-Davis said.\nShe says her injury was a very alien experience, and had a very difficult time coming to grips with it.\n“I hope the special will help other people and be able to encourage others to follow their dreams,” she adds. “I hope that it inspires people. It’s a very honest look at what it’s like to go through something like this.”\n“When I was sitting in her hospital room for the first time, I was amazed at her optimism and her determination to be able to continue her life and continue the things that she loves,” Cooper said.\n“She still wasn’t sure about how she’d recover in those early days, she was still learning about prosthetics, it all happened very fast obviously, and she was stabilized, she was doing OK, she knew she would need a prosthetic… but when you lose part of a limb it’s obviously better to have some part of the leg below the knee,” Cooper explained.\n“In that way she was fortunate,” he said. “It makes a huge difference in terms of what kind of prosthetic you end up getting, so she knew that it was going to be a long process of rehabilitation, she knew it would be a long process of learning to walk again, but I don’t think she fully understood how tough it would be to dance again. It was a desire of her to dance again.”\nCooper stressed to TheWrap how important it was for him to handle Haslet-Davis’ interview with sensitivity:\n“It’s something you certainly learn from experience, when I first started at age 22, I started in wars, you just try to be yourself and be very clear about why you’re there and be very attuned to the other person and you listen a lot. I’m very aware in a situation like this of listening to the person and try to understand why they want to speak and what message they want to get out and I want to help them do that. I’m very cautious and careful in any questions I ask people, even how I phrase questions, I put a lot of thought in it, it’s just being a decent human being and relating to the person as a person and not a reporter asking questions.”\n“I actually talked to people all the time who had been survivors of bombings, who’ve survived combat, who’ve survived natural disasters and earthquakes, in fact, my first job as a reporter ever I snuck into Burma and I met up with some students who were fighting the Burmese government, and they weren’t trained fighters, they had been students the year before and they now found themselves in the jungle. So from my earliest days, I really did end up focusing most of my time on just regular people who have found themselves in situations not of their making or beyond their control and in some ways it’s different than talking to a soldier who has gone into combat, but in the end everybody is a human being and reacts as a human being even if you’re a trained professional or a solider, you’re still a person who has a family and has hopes and dreams for what you’re life is going to be and something like this changes all of that.”\nCooper said that it was an incredible experience getting to follow Haslet-Davis for her recovery.\n“I think when you see something like the bombings in Boston, people pay attention but then people who aren’t from Boston or don’t have family members affected, people’s day-to-day life resumes and people move on and yet for people who have experienced the trauma, it’s not so easy to just move on and this past year has been a completely different year for them than it has been for most other people. It’s rare that you have the opportunity to follow somebody — you’re there for the immediate event and the media moves on as well — so we really wanted to keep going back to Boston and focus on Adrianne and her family and the impact of this event and just remind people of really what happen to somebody that survives. Once everybody else moves on, they’re left with the reality of their situation and they’re left with the difficult moments, and the triumphs and the heartbreaks and we wanted to document all of them show people the reality of what this year has been like for one survivor.”\nJust as he had promised, Cooper got the opportunity to get a dance lesson with Haslet-Davis.\n“I wouldn’t even call what I did ballroom dancing,” he confessed. “But I was sort of shuffling on my feet and trying to not make a complete fool of myself. The first time that I met her, we were in the hospital room and I sort of said in passing, I’d love to take a lesson from you, I was trying to be positive and we were having a fun time together and it just seemed like a nice thing to say and then I realized as she agreed to let us follow her for the year, I suddenly realized, oh my goodness, this means I’m going to have to dance with her but she’s going to hold me to this promise and it’s probably going to be on camera.”\n“I’m not about to audition for Dancing With the Stars anytime soon!” Cooper exclaims.\nAnderson Cooper speaks with Boston bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis on his new special “The Survivor Diaries,” airing Tuesday at 10 p.m.\nWatch a clip:", "char_count": 6536, "token_count": 1634, "k_exact": 2.1314, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7988, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "ICT SATELLITE ACCOUNT\nInformation and communication technologies (ICT) play an important role in the way in which we live and do business. There is considerable interest in the role of ICT as a significant driver of socioeconomic development, for example, in the way that ICT has allowed businesses to increase productivity. For official statisticians, the measurement of these technologies provides significant conceptual and measurement challenges. A key part of the ABS response to these challenges has been the development of an ICT satellite account for Australia for 2002-03. This was preceded by the release in 2003 of a 'pilot' ICT satellite account in respect of 1998-99.\nThe notion of a satellite account was conceived in the System of National Accounts 1993 to expand the core national accounts for selected areas of interest, while using relevant concepts and structures from the core national accounts. An ICT satellite account involves the identification of ICT products and activities within the national accounting framework so that a comprehensive and coherent set of economic data on ICT supply and use can be produced.\nThere are few international examples of ICT satellite accounts, and the concepts and methods used here are largely based on existing international statistical standards for national accounts. Nevertheless, developments from a number of international fora are also incorporated, in particular, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Working Party on Indicators for the Information Society and the OECD Task Force on Software Measurement in the National Accounts.\nThis publication represents the first official satellite account on ICT and its direct contribution to the Australian economy. In particular, it contains data on the contribution of ICT to key macro-economic variables such as gross domestic product (GDP), investment, imports and exports. As this satellite account constitutes an integrated set of statistics on ICT products and services within the internationally recognised Australian System of National Accounts, it represents a valuable policy and research tool with a wide range of applications.\nThis satellite account is the product of development work requiring a number of assumptions and synthetic estimates for some components, and therefore at this stage the estimates should be considered experimental.\nThe Australian Bureau of Statistics welcomes user comments. Comments should be directed to:\nNational Accounts Research\nAustralian Bureau of Statistics\nLocked Bag 10\nBelconnen, ACT, 2616.\nFor further information about these and related statistics, contact the National Information and Referral Service on 1300 135 070 or Peter Comisari on Canberra (02) 6252 5381.\nBACKGROUND TO THE ICT SATELLITE ACCOUNT\nThere has been substantial interest in recent years, both in Australia and internationally, in those products and services known as information and communication technology (ICT) products and services (hereafter referred to as ICT products), in the industries that import, produce or distribute those products and in who uses these products. ICT products are closely associated with the phenomenon of the 'new economy' and with other events such as the 'dotcom' boom and the privatisation of telecommunication service providers seen in a number of countries over the past two decades. Much of the demand for economic data on ICT products has been driven by the interest of economists and policy advisors in the uptake of new technologies and in the role ICT may have played in the productivity surge of the 1990s.\nSatellite accounts, as articulated in the international System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93), allow for an expansion of the national accounts for selected areas of interest while maintaining links to the basic concepts and structures of the core national accounts. The ICT satellite account developed by the ABS uses the national accounts framework to present a picture of the value of transactions in ICT products within the Australian economy. The link with the national accounts enhances the usefulness of the data in analysis because it ensures comparability to, and consistency with, key economic aggregates such as GDP. However, the satellite account does not provide an analysis of the contribution of ICT to productivity growth, nor is it a compendium of all available ICT-related information collected by the ABS or available through other sources.\nThe ABS provides a variety of ICT-related information from its extensive suite of ICT surveys. These surveys include the Information and Communication Technology Industries Survey (ICTIS), the Business Use of Information Technology Survey (BUIT), the Household Use of Information Technology Survey (HUIT) and the Government Technology Survey (GTS). Appendix 1 describes the framework used by the ICT satellite account in which these and other data are brought together and integrated for the whole economy.\nBroadly, ICT products include computer hardware and their peripherals, parts, components and consumables, computer software, telecommunication assets, computer services, telecommunication services and wholesale and retail margins on ICT products. ICT products do not include those ICT goods and services produced and consumed in-house in the process of producing other goods and services. In turn, the 'ICT Industry' is defined with reference to those same products, and includes wholesaling and retailing. Appendix 2 provides a detailed discussion of issues relating to the scope of the ICT satellite account and the classifications used. ICT products in this publication are defined within the ABS Classification of ICT Products and are presented in Appendix 3.\nThe economic value of ICT products is already included in the Australian System of National Accounts (ASNA) in key economic aggregates such as GDP, industry gross value added, gross fixed capital formation (investment) and household final consumption expenditure (HFCE). However, the classifications and data sources used in the national accounts are generally not designed to systematically isolate ICT products, or the industries producing or distributing those products. Similarly, the national accounts do not systematically isolate the use of ICT products by businesses, government and households, although some important aggregates such as business investment in computer software are already separately available.\nThe basic compilation framework for the ICT satellite account is the national accounts 'supply and use' system. It has been adapted to focus on ICT products and the industries producing or distributing those products. Fundamentally, the system consists of a supply table that tracks the supply of ICT products from imports and from Australian producers, and a use table that tracks the use of those products by industries, government, households and for export. It aims to be comprehensive in its coverage. Many different sources of data of varying quality are used to populate the supply and use tables. Appendix 4 provides a description of the various ABS data sources used. In order to satisfy the identity that the supply and use of products must be equal, discrepancies due to deficiencies in the source data have been identified and resolved. A great strength of the framework is that it facilitates this data confrontation and provides a basis for optimising the quality of the overall estimates in the face of deficiencies and gaps in data coverage.\nOne role of the satellite account has been to review and, where necessary, make improvements to ICT data series used in the ASNA itself. These improvements were substantially reflected in the 'historical revision' of the national accounts published in Australian System of National Accounts 2004-05 (cat. no. 5204.0) in November 2005.\nSome satellite accounts use a set of recommended classifications and frameworks developed from international research and discussion over a number of years, with international agencies usually taking the lead. For example, when the ABS developed its satellite accounts for tourism and non-profit institutions there were international guidelines available to guide the work. There are no such guidelines available for an ICT satellite account, although there have been international initiatives on some aspects important to this work.\nInternational experience shows that the measurement of ICT transactions is not easy, particularly given the intangible nature of software, the licencing and leasing arrangements involved and the bundling of ICT products. It was therefore inevitable that a range of significant data and other issues required close attention in producing this publication. Appendix 5 provides detail on the substantial number of methodological issues encountered. Inevitably, a number of judgement calls were necessary to integrate the data and to take a stance on issues for which there is as yet no clear international standard. Consequently, the results contained in this publication should be considered experimental. Appendix 6 provides further comment on the quality of the estimates produced and Appendix 7 describes the relationship between these estimates and certain other ICT-related ABS data series.\nBecause of the large developmental aspect to the ICT satellite account, this publication gives considerable attention to describing the ABS response to the various challenges encountered in producing the published tables. The ABS hopes this will encourage constructive commentary on the issues described and contribute to the development of best practice in statistical measurement internationally.\nThis publication was preceded by a pilot ICT satellite account in respect of 1998-99, the results of which were published as a feature article 'An Information and Communication Technology Satellite Account' in the December quarter 2002 issue of Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (cat. no. 5206.0). On the basis of knowledge gained from the pilot ICT satellite account, the ABS undertook to collect a range of additional data from businesses and government to compile the accounts contained in this publication.\nANALYSIS OF RESULTS\nThe scope of this satellite account was determined by the range of goods and services considered to be 'ICT'. Essentially, ICT products include computer hardware, computer software, telecommunication assets, computer services and telecommunication services. An ICT satellite account details the supply and use of these products and also measures the direct value that ICT products add to the economy through the key aggregates ICT GDP and ICT gross value added.\nICT GDP represents the total market value of ICT products produced in Australia after deducting the cost of goods and services used up in the process of production. ICT accounted for $36.2 billion or 4.6% of total GDP in 2002-03.\nIndustry gross value added is free of the effects of changes in taxes and subsidies on products that can vary between industries and over time and is therefore the preferred national accounts measure of industry contribution to value of production. ICT gross value added was $34.8 billion (4.9% of total gross value added) in 2002-03.\nThe ICT share of gross value added exceeds the ICT share of GDP. Since GDP is equivalent to gross value added plus taxes less subsidies on products, this result simply reflects ICT's relative share of taxes less subsidies on products.\nICT share of the Australian economy, 2002-03\nICT GROSS VALUE ADDED\nThere is no 'ICT industry' in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC). Instead, producers of ICT products operate in a number of ANZSIC industries. Of the ICT contribution to total gross value added of 4.9%, Telecommunication services contributed 2.2 percentage points, Computer services 1.4 percentage points, ICT wholesale 0.7 percentage points, ICT manufacturing 0.1 percentage points and all other industries 0.5 percentage points.\nViewed differently, the most significant industry contributors to ICT gross value added were Telecommunication services (44.3%), Computer services (28.0%) and ICT wholesale (14.8%).\nINDUSTRY CONTRIBUTION TO ICT GROSS VALUE ADDED - 2002-03\nICT gross value added\nShare of ICT gross value added\n|ICT specialist industries |\n|Telecommunication services |\n|Computer services |\n|Total ICT specialist industries |\n|Other industries |\nCOMPARISON WITH 'NON-ICT' INDUSTRIES\nWhen compared with the seventeen conventional ANZSIC industry divisions the ICT contribution to total gross value added of 4.9% in 2002-03 ranked ninth. ICT gross value added exceeded that of Agriculture, forestry and fishing (3.3%), Government administration and defence (4.4%), Education (4.8%), and Personal and other services (2.0%). Among the industries with a contribution to total gross value added exceeding that of ICT were Mining (5.0%), Construction (6.4%) and Finance and insurance (7.4%).\nINCOME COMPONENTS OF ICT GROSS VALUE ADDED\nGross value added corresponds to the income items compensation of employees, gross operating surplus, gross mixed income and other net taxes on production. In the ICT specialist industries, compensation of employees ($17.1 billion) and gross operating surplus and gross mixed income ($13.1 billion) combined comprised 97.5% of gross value added. Among the ICT specialist industries, Computer services contributed most to compensation of employees, and Telecommunication services had the highest gross operating surplus / gross mixed income.\nINCOME COMPONENTS OF ICT GROSS VALUED ADDED - 2002-03\nCompensation of employees\nGross operating surplus/Gross mixed income\nOther net taxes on production\nICT gross value added\n|ICT specialist industries |\n|Wholesale trade |\n|Telecommunication services |\n|Computer services |\n|Total ICT specialist industries |\n|Other industries |\n|na not available |\nAUSTRALIAN PRODUCTION OF ICT PRODUCTS\nThe value of Australian production of ICT products was $65.1 billion in 2002-03. Over 90% of this production took place within ICT specialist industries. The largest single contributor to total Australian production of ICT products was Telecommunication services ($32.7 billion) followed by Computer services ($15.5 billion). Retail trade ($3.6 billion) was the largest contributor among the 'Other industries'.\nINVESTMENT IN ICT\nBusiness and government invested $26.7 billion in ICT products in 2002-03. Computer hardware made up 40.2% ($10.7 billion) of this investment and packaged and customised software 30.8% ($8.2 billion). The Communication services industry ($5.1 billion) contributed 19.3% to total ICT investment - the largest share of any industry. Other major industry contributors to ICT Investment were Property and business services (14.1%), Finance and insurance (12.1%), Government administration and defence (11.4%) and Manufacturing (8.6%).\nIndustry share of ICT investment, 2002-03\nPrivate businesses and public corporations contributed 83.4% ($22.3 billion) of total investment in ICT products in 2002-03 while general government contributed 16.6% ($4.5 billion). The Commonwealth Government accounted for 59.5% of general government sector ICT investment. The largest ICT product investment by any sector was private sector investment in software ($9.2 billion), followed closely by private sector investment in computer hardware ($8.8 billion). General government invested $2.1 billion in software, $2.0 billion in computer hardware and $0.4 billion in telecommunication equipment.\nICT investment, By sector and product - 2002-03\nInvestment in ICT accounted for 13.8% of total investment in Australia in 2002-03. Some industries invest more intensively in ICT, which is reflected in the marked industry-to-industry variation in the proportion of ICT investment to total investment. The Communication services industry had the largest proportion of ICT investment to total investment at 80.7%. This was followed by Government administration and defence (58.2%), Finance and insurance (48.2%), Wholesale trade (30.3%), and Property and business services (27.1%).\nICT investment to total investment, By selected industries - 2002-03\nICT investment as a proportion of total investment\n|Wholesale trade |\n|Communication services |\n|Finance and Insurance |\n|Property and business services |\n|Government admisnistration and defence |\n|All other industries(a) |\n|(a) Excluding ownership of dwellings and ownership transfer costs. |\nAnnual growth in investment for computer hardware and software fluctuated between 1997-98 and 2004-05, though it remained positive throughout this period. The 18.3% peak in growth in software investment between 1998-99 and 1999-2000 reflected Y2K related software spending.\nInvestment in computers, Annual growth - 1997-98 to 2004-05\nBUSINESS USE OF SELECTED ICT TECHNOLOGIES\nThe following table shows recent trends in business use of computers and the Internet, and web presence in businesses. Over the last five years, business use of these technologies has increased substantially, particularly business presence on the web and use of the Internet. In 2002-03, 83% of businesses indicated use of a computer, while 71% used the Internet and 23% had a web presence.\nBUSINESS USE OF SELECTED TECHNOLOGIES\n|Businesses using a computer |\n|Businesses using the Internet |\n|Businesses with a web presence |\n|Business Use of Information Technology, 2002-03 (cat. no. 8129.0). |\nIntermediate consumption is the value of goods and services used up as inputs in the process of production. In business accounting terms, intermediate consumption corresponds to 'business expenses' (as opposed to investment spending). Business and government intermediate consumption of ICT products was valued at $33.5 billion in 2002-03. The largest item of intermediate consumption of ICT products was telecommunication services valued at $18.9 billion, followed by other computer services ($11.0 billion).\nFollowing national accounts conventions, all household spending on ICT products is treated as consumption spending. Households spent $16.0 billion on ICT products in 2002-03. The largest single component was phone carrier services, which accounted for $10.8 billion (or 67.0%) of household expenditure on ICT. Households also spent $1.8 billion (11.4%) on computer hardware, $1.2 billion (7.5%) on telecommunication equipment and $1.1 billion (6.8%) on Internet services.\nHousehold spending on ICT products accounted for 3.5% of total household final consumption expenditure (HFCE) in 2002-03. This was similar to the level of household spending on education services, clothing and footwear and alcoholic beverages and tobacco.\nHFCE, Selected components - Relative to total HFCE: 2002-03\nINTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ICT\nAustralia experienced a deficit of $9.7 billion in net trade in ICT products in 2002-03. That is, the level of ICT product imports ($14.0 billion) was $9.7 billion greater than ICT product exports ($4.2 billion). ICT imports accounted for 8.4% of all imports while ICT exports accounted for 2.8% of exports. Re-exports made up $1.2 billion of total ICT imports and exports. Re-exports are imports which are exported in the same condition or after undergoing only minor transformation which leaves them essentially unchanged. Computer hardware and telecommunication equipment together made up 73.5% of ICT imports. The largest ICT export items were computer hardware at $1.3 billion and telecommunication services at $1.1 billion. In combination, these two items comprised 55.2% of total ICT exports in 2002-03.\nFor analytical purposes ICT employment is defined to include 'computing professionals and technicians' working in both ICT and non-ICT related industries. ICT employment excludes persons employed in ICT related industries in such activities as data entry, call centre and general management and administration.\nComputing professionals and technicians accounted for 2.5% (or 234,700 persons) of total employed persons in 2002-03. Computing professionals dominated this category, accounting for 74% or 174,800 persons. 'Computing professionals' covers system managers, designers, programmers and auditors, software designers, and applications and analyst programmers.\nThe Property and business services industry employed 49.1% of all computing professionals and technicians in 2002-03. The second largest industry employer of computing professionals and technicians was Government administration and defence (9.0% or 21,100 persons) followed by Finance and insurance (8.1% or 19,100 persons).\nEmployed persons, Computing professionals and technicians - By industry - 2002-03\nThis page last updated 28 January 2009", "char_count": 20756, "token_count": 5189, "k_exact": 3.3176, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.901, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

That money can be spent on vet care for an animal, transportation of the pet, or on anything else that will help move the animal out of the shelter.\nFor Diamond, this program was a godsend. Abilene was able to use the Petrie subsidy to move her to The Pawed Squad rescue. After a desperately needed grooming, Diamond revealed herself to be an adorable little Bichon Frise! She also came out of her shell and showed she would make a wonderful companion.\nSoon after rescuing Diamond, the Pawed Squad was able to place her in a loving home that cherishes her every day.

-{"text": "WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn asked congressional colleagues this week to investigate whether the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran a gun-walking program in Texas, the latest in his months-long effort to put the heat on the Obama administration over the controversial Fast and Furious operation.\nHis request came the week after he sponsored a measure in the U.S. Senate that received rare bipartisan support: an oversight requirement that would help bar any future operations like the Arizona-based Fast and Furious. And it got some traction on Wednesday as two lawmakers investigating the program issued another round of questions for the U.S. Department of Justice.\nThe ATF operated Fast and Furious from late 2009 to earlier this year, allowing weapons to cross the Arizona border into Mexico in an effort to trace them to drug cartels. Guns tied to the operation were found near where Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed in 2010.\nIn August, Cornyn raised concerns that ATF may have run a similar operation in Texas, something bureau officials have denied. His letter this week to the two Republican lawmakers leading a congressional probe of Fast and Furious — Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — outlined his concerns.\nThe second-term GOP senator and former Texas attorney general has been one of the most outspoken critics of the now-defunct program and is likely to stay that way as Republicans ratchet up pressure on the Obama administration, particularly U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, whose testimony before lawmakers Cornyn has criticized.\n“We need to do everything we can to make sure that such a reckless operation like this one is not repeated,” Cornyn told reporters last week.\n“If we get the answers and we find out who was responsible and held accountable,” he added in a television interview, “then I think that will be worth the effort.”\nFirst, he asked the lawmakers to investigate whether the ATF ran a similar gun-walking program in Texas, as allegations by an attorney for a federally licensed gun dealer in Houston may have suggested. Cornyn, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, said the Justice Department had not responded to his request this summer to tell him about any Texas-based programs.\nCornyn also asked for an investigation of whether a Texas program “may have been responsible for the murder of” a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, Jaime Zapata, in Mexico in February.\nInvestigators for Grassley and Issa “are anxious to hear the Justice Department’s explanation\" for allegation of a Texas program, a spokeswoman for the Judiciary Committee, Beth Levine, told The Tribune in an e-mail. She said the lawmakers would continue to look into the concerns Cornyn raised in the letter.\nThe Justice Department did not respond to The Tribune’s request for comment.\nOn Wednesday, Grassley and Issa picked up Cornyn's inquiry and ran with it, citing the letter as they asked for answers to a long list of new questions about Zapata's death. They also cited an Oct. 11 response from an assistant attorney general who said \"ongoing criminal investigations\" limit what the Justice Department can say about the issue.\nBeyond the letters, Cornyn's focus on the program has also included his amendment, which the Senate approved last week 99-0, as well as making Fast and Furious a consistent topic in his weekly conference call with reporters, in his public remarks and, of course, in his Twitter stream.\nA Justice Department official told The Associated Press the amendment \"essentially reflects DOJ policy.\"\nSome Democrats have said the ire of Cornyn and other Republicans is misguided. Southern California Rep. Adam Schiff, for example, condemned what he called “politically motivated attacks” on Holder.\n“The evidence is clear and the Attorney General has been forthright throughout — he was not briefed on the details of Operation Fast and Furious until after the serious problems became public,” Schiff said in a statement. “ … If the House majority is truly concerned about violence in Mexico and not just scoring political points, I suggest they support stronger penalties on firearm traffickers who supply vicious Mexican drug cartels with thousands of weapons.”\nTexas Democrats' views on the issue vary. El Paso Rep. Silvestre Reyes told the Tribune this summer that the public shouldn’t yet jump to conclusions about Fast and Furious, while Laredo Rep. Henry Cuellar called for the ATF to “come clean.”\nCornyn's position is bolstered by some ill will toward the ATF in Texas. A San Antonio gun seller sued the head of the bureau over new reporting rules that came in the wake of Fast and Furious.\nIn any case, Cornyn seems poised to keep pushing. In his letter to Grassley and Issa, he said his constituents deserve answers.\n“Though their failure to respond is not direct evidence of malfeasance, the Department’s reluctance to address allegations of additional ‘gun-walking’ schemes in my state raises serious questions,” Cornyn wrote, “and Texans deserve a full accounting of the Department’s role in this matter.”\nKeeping the pressure on the Obama administration accountable also makes Fast and Furious an appealing cudgel for Republicans, including National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman Cornyn, to wield against the administration.\n“Part of it is just to keep the heat on and frankly the bright light of publicity on this so we can get Eric Holder and the Department of Justice to come clean with the facts,” Cornyn told Greta Van Susteren last week after the passage of his amendment.\nBut ultimately, Cornyn told The Tribune in a statement, it’s about the circumstances of two suspect deaths.\n“I think we could all agree that the families of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata deserve nothing less than a full accounting of what happened from this administration,” he said.\nTexas Tribune donors or members may be quoted or mentioned in our stories, or may be the subject of them.

The primary aim of this study is to validate the model for subsequent calculation of patient doses due to secondary neutrons.\nThe Monte Carlo code MCNPX is used here to model the geometry of the beam line. The beam parameters at the entrance of the ophthalmologic beam line are not well known (beam emittance, lateral distribution, and energy spread). Hence, to accurately implement the beam source in the model, we need to calculate and measure these parameters in the first step of this study. Then, we perform comparisons between calculated and measured proton absorbed dose profiles under various scattering conditions.\nComparisons between calculated and measured depth versus dose profiles show discrepancies <0.6 mm (range) and <1.1 mm (beam size and penumbra) for the lateral dose profiles.

Use of a semiconductor detector is necessary for high-resolution measurements.\n5.2 Variation of the physical geometry of the sample and its relationship with the detector will produce both qualitative and quantitative variations in the gamma-ray spectrum. To adequately account for these geometry effects, calibrations are designed to duplicate all conditions including source-to-detector distance, sample shape and size, and sample matrix encountered when samples are measured.\n5.3 Since some spectrometry systems are calibrated at many discrete distances from the detector, a wide range of activity levels can be measured on the same detector. For high-level samples, extremely low-efficiency geometries may be used. Quantitative measurements can be made accurately and precisely when high activity level samples are placed at distances of 10 cm or more from the detector.\n5.4 Electronic problems, such as erroneous deadtime correction, loss of resolution, and random summing, may be avoided by keeping the gross count rate below 2000 counts per second (s–1) and also keeping the deadtime of the analyzer below 5 %. Total counting time is governed by the radioactivity of the sample, the detector to source distance and the acceptable Poisson counting uncertainty.\n1.1 This practice covers the measurement of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in water by means of gamma-ray spectrometry. It is applicable to nuclides emitting gamma-rays with energies greater than 45 keV. For typical counting systems and sample types, activity levels of about 40 Bq are easily measured and sensitivities as low as 0.4 Bq are found for many nuclides. Count rates in excess of 2000 counts per second should be avoided because of electronic limitations. High count rate samples can be accommodated by dilution, by increasing the sample to detector distance, or by using digital signal processors.\n1.2 This practice can be used for either quantitative or relative determinations. In relative counting work, the results may be expressed by comparison with an initial concentration of a given nuclide which is taken as 100 %. For quantitative measurements, the results may be expressed in terms of known nuclidic standards for the radionuclides known to be present. This practice can also be used just for the identification of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in a sample without quantifying them. General information on radioactivity and the measurement of radiation has been published (. , ) Information on specific application of gamma spectrometry is also available in the literature (. See also the referenced ASTM Standards in ) and the related material section at the end of this standard.\n1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use.\n2.

For example, I have no problem with the touchscreen being resistive because it might be the best resistive touchscreen I've ever used. I'm also a little bit surprised with his complaints about the body. It's disappointing that the N-Series development team has not found a way to equal the products created by its E-Series counterparts but I can't go as far as to say that I think the N97 feels cheap (other than maybe the battery cover).\nUltimately, I agree that the phone is not worth the listed $700 price tag. I ordered mine when Nokia accidentally had them listed for $250 off, and I think that is right around a reasonable price for this. But I also remember that the N95 was $750 when it first launched and, initially, it was also somewhat panned. But after a few FW upgrades and price drops, it eventually became one of the most popular Nokia phones ever. I can see the same thing happening with the N97. But Nokia really needs to learn to stop releasing phones with what is essentially the beta version of the firmware.

-{"text": "Yep, I finally made the 30 pounds I wanted to gain after returning from the severe weight loss I suffered in England. Just Kidding. After last night’s 12 oz of prime rib, I may be pushing the pre-England weight (which I have never actually reclaimed). Really though, yesterday was supposedly a momentous occasion. I lived to the ripe age of thirty. So what do I have to account for my birthday? Approximately at 10:08 AM CST I passed the 30 year mark in age. I passed it at school preparing for legal profession. I spent 11 hours at school, my wife picked me up, we went to dinner at a steakhouse, and I ate so much I had to come home and go pretty much straight to bed. Does that sound old or what?\nI guess if we count the dozens of Facebook messages and comments, in-person birthday wishes, phone calls, and e-mails I guess it was a pretty good day. Thanks to Facebook, more people knew about the birthday than I would ever have imagined. Who would have thought Facebook would have changed our lives so much in a few short years of our existence? Really though, I am very appreciative of everyone’s sympathetic mourning. In all honesty, I really don’t feel any older than the day I returned from British soil in December 2000. The only thing physically I may have to mark any passage of time would be the deterioration of my eyes, which I attribute more to law school than I do to age. Age to a guy doesn’t really seem to matter. Unlike women who round it up to the nearest quarter century. (Kinda like guys losing weight in the mirror where women gain it). We wear the same clothes were wore ten years ago and think it really is ten years ago, and that we look it. It really was just another day for me with an excuse to go out to eat something beyond what we really should have paid for.\nMoving beyond the birthday, I have a couple of observations to make. Just some musing and thoughts I can provide, even if not from wisdom.\nThis deals with more of quirky Oklahoma. I had to learn some more of the lingo recently and thought I would share. In church a few weeks back, I was asked to help sweep after classes was done. I agreed and was assigned to sweep each of the classrooms. Dutifully, I went to the janitor’s office and got a broom and dustpan thingy. Each of the classrooms though had carpet! After trying to sweep up the little chunks in the classrooms I finally just went and got a vacuum and then vacuumed each of the classrooms. I made a mental note that I needed to inform the Elders Quorum President that the classrooms have carpet and not floors for sweeping.\nA week or two later we are serving in the temple and find ourselves on the cleaning crew after the last endowment. As I go to the janitor’s\noffice, the lady tells me to sweep the endowment rooms. I then walk towards the broom with a nagging knowledge that the endowment rooms\nhave carpet. I thought, “Wow, these Oklahoman’s sure do things the hard way.” As I went to leave she asked me what I was doing. I said,\n“I am going to sweep the endowment rooms.” She then pointed at the vacuums and said, “Why don’t you take a sweeper, it will be a whole lot\neasier.” Suddenly, a light dawned in my aged mind and I said something like, “you mean you call vacuuming ‘sweeping’?” She nodded with a\npuzzled look and told me to go sweep. As I was sweeping the carpets with the sweeper, I wondered what they called the motion of using a\nbroom on floors. Brooming? Scooting? Brushing? Scratching? I still don’t know. I was afraid of looking like an idiot to ask anyone. I\nwill probably find out soon enough. “Brother Ross, will you go scoot the floors in the far hall for us?” I will be walking to the janitors\noffice looking for something to do some scooting.\nOur sprinkler system continues to go in between the rain clouds. For the most part, much of the pipe is in place and most of the heads are on. In fact, most of the trenches are even filled in. But the rain keeps coming nearly every weekend and the poor sprinkler system people cannot seem to get it finished. Need rain? Put in a sprinkler system. Kinda like washing the car. Do it, and the rains come.\nI have continued to remove the concrete pad in the backyard. It has turned out to be a multiple month workout! Who would have thought a little 8′ X 12′ concrete pad would take 3 months to remove only half? As lazy as that makes me sound, let me add some flesh to this ‘pad’. It turns out that this little pad in the backyard has concrete 9 inches thick in places! Thank goodness the individuals didn’t have access to rebar, but they were kind enough to put a layer or two of fence in the concrete near the bottom. I purchased a 20 pound sledge hammer thinking I could have the thing done in a week. This long later, and I am only half done. I had to buy a spike to break the stuff apart. I had to pull out my little sledges to drive the spike. I had to dig around the perimeter of the pad so as I cracked it, it had somewhere to go. Once I get a crack, I have to take the spike to it and then hope the fence inside will break. As it slowly severs away, I have to bend it back and forth until the fence wire finally breaks. Then I heave the block to the side and start again. This process is painfully slow, exhausting, and in our humidity, draining.\nWhat really justifies my taking so long deals also with the garbage man. With these massive blocks of concrete, I have considerable weight problems. The garbage truck will not pick up a garbage can that weights more than roughly 100-125 pounds. So I can put about 2 cubit yards of concrete in the bottom and I am really pushing the limit. Any extra garbage on the top just might throw me over. There is more though. The garbage truck is like a stinky old man with a hernia though. If the garbage can is overweight, the driver has to rev up the truck to get the hydralics where they need to be. Doing this speeds up something inside the truck and the 3 minutes the truck sits on the side of the road trying to pick it up, or get it all the way upside down leaves a huge puddle of garbage ooze compressed from within the truck. It stinks, looks disgusting, and we pray for more rain.\nI have two garbage cans, but in the past month, two of them have been left for me to reallocate half the load to the other garbage can. Meaning, I lost two weeks in the last month alone where I could not send more concrete to the garbage cemetery. So my little pile beside the pad has continued to grow, week by week. I had another can rejected last Tuesday, so again this Tuesday, I cannot add more to the garbage going out.\nThe sprinkler man decided not to use one of his trenches, so I must confess, it is filling up with concrete chunks. Anything smaller than about 4 cubit inches usually ends up in the trench now. When it is within about 3 or 4 inches of the top of the trench, then I fill it in. The extra dirt will be used to fill the gaping hole where my concrete pad was located. I am going to have to get a load of dirt in to fill this hole I am creating. Geez, if it isn’t one thing or another! Amanda warned me that it was not necessary the concrete pad be removed. Now I wish I had listened.", "char_count": 7163, "token_count": 1790, "k_exact": 2.0362, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7969, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

These establishments give their patrons, often people who live in rented accommodation in urban areas, a chance to interact with animals that they would not be able to keep at home due to a lack of space or strict “no pets” clauses in tenancy agreements.\nIn Korea, however, one particular cafe has upscaled the experience with something much bigger and fluffier than the common bunny, cat or pup. Check out this unique cafe which houses a pair of beautiful, friendly sheep!\nLocated in the Hongdae district of Seoul, Korea, Thanks Nature Cafe is a quaint little cafe that has been attracting crowds with its unusual dwellers, a pair of white woolly sheep.

-{"text": "(Second in a four-part series) When Elizabeth Warren, Teresa A. Sullivan, and Jay Westbrook, co-authors of the 1989 book As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy and Consumer Credit in America, were charged by Rutgers Law School Professor Philip Shuchman with scientific misconduct in 1990, they quickly asked for an investigation to clear their names. Sullivan, who resigned earlier this month as President of the University of Virginia, “immediately asked [her] employer, The University of Texas, to investigate the charge,” as she told me in a letter I received by email from her on June 5, 2012.\nBy 1990, all three co-authors–Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook–were well established fixtures in University of Texas academic and social circles. Sullivan was the Chairman of the Sociology Department at the University of Texas, and would soon become the Dean of Graduate Studies. Westbrook was a long-tenured member of the faculty at the University of Texas Law School. Warren, who taught at the University of Texas Law School from 1981 to 1987, had by this time moved on to the University of Pennsylvania Law School, a top ten school with great prestige.\nWarren’s former colleagues at the University of Texas took pride in her emergence as a rising legal star of the left, a reputation she carefully cultivated. According to some who have followed her career, she was considered a master practitioner of hard-nosed academic political tactics, and her critics in the genteel world of higher education were increasingly wary of her.\nIt was in that environment that current President of the University of California system Mark Yudof (then Dean of the University of Texas Law School) and current University of Texas Dean of Graduate Studies, ad interim Judith Langlois, wrote the April 1991 report for the investigation that Sullivan requested. It was titled University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report: Scientific Misconduct Against Teresa A. Sullivan, Elizabeth Warren, and Jay Westbrook. You can read the full report, provided to Breitbart News by Teresa A. Sullivan here.\nThe document, though riddled with errors, was accepted by University of Texas President William Cunningham on April 22, 1991, as conclusive evidence exonerating Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook from charges of scientific misconduct.\nMark Yudof, co-author of the 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report: Scientific Misconduct Against Teresa A. Sullivan, Elizabeth Warren, and Jay Westbrook, is now the President of the University of California system\nThe lack of serious scrutiny of Ms. Warren’s academic research has continued for the subsequent two decades. Questions about Ms. Warren’s empirical studies have not been fully explored, and specific policies she has promoted–in particular those that led in 2010 to the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act and its onerous Consumer Financial Protection Bureau–have been imposed upon the public.\nBreitbart News is not alleging that Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook engaged in scientific misconduct. We are, however, presenting evidence that suggests the 1991 investigation conducted by the University of Texas into the allegations brought by Philip Shuchman in his scathing sixty page review of the book Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook co-authored in 1989 was neither thorough nor exculpatory. In that review, Shuchman charged:\nThis book contains so much exaggeration, so many questionable ploys, and so many incorrect statements that it would be well to check the accuracy of their raw data, as old as it is. But the authors arranged matters so that they could not provide access to the computer printouts by case, with the corresponding bankruptcy court file numbers, this preventing any independent check of the raw data in the files from which they took their information.\nThe 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report fails to answer Shuchman’s charge that “the authors arranged matters…preventing any independent check of the raw data.” Though Shuchman implies this “arrangement” may have been deliberate, he has no specific basis for the suggestion, other than the suspicious nature of the facts. The effect of the decision by the co-authors was clear, however. It became virtually impossible for other scholars to check their data.\nIn addition, the 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report fails because there are at least five specific factual errors contained in this brief three page report that purportedly “exonerates” Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook.\nThe National Science Foundation (NSF) plays a role in this investigation because it funded the research upon which Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook’s 1989 book was based with a grant in the amount of $109,999 to principal investigator Teresa A. Sullivan, and co-principal investigators Jay Westbrook and Elizabeth Warren for a study of “Consumer Choices in Bankruptcy: Statutory Intentions and Statutory Consequences.” The data in this study formed the basis for the 1989 book. Research began around September 1, 1983 and continued for about three years thereafter. The University of Texas at Austin was listed as the sponsor of the grant.\nFactual Error 1: “NSF has subsequently dismissed Shuchman’s complaint (see letter of March 6 from NSF Office of Inspector General)\nThe Facts: The March 6, 1991 letter from NSF investigator Montgomery Fisher to Teresa A. Sullivan did not constitute dismissal of Shuchman’s complaint of scientific misconduct by the NSF.\nMarch 6, 1991 letter from Montgomery Fisher at NSF to Teresa A. Sullivan\nInstead, it focused narrowly on Shuchman’s request for “access to the original data” used in the study. NSF investigator Montgomery K. Fisher simply confirmed in this letter that he had communicated to Professor Shuchman that Elizabeth Warren and her co-authors were willing to provide a list of the cases they sampled:\n“Prof. Sullivan also says that the names and court file numbers are not, and have never been, part of the file. (There was apparently some misunderstanding regarding the applicability of HHS’s Human Subjects regulation; as you observed in note 249 of your article, this project was probably exempt from the regulation.) They are willing, however, to provide you a complete list of the cases they sampled, should you desire to verify each datum. In these circumstances, I believe Profs. Sullivan, Westbrook, and Warren have demonstrated sufficient willingness to comply with NSF’s policy in favor of openness of scientific communication.” [emphasis added]\nIt was not clear, however, why the authors had not simply documented and archived their data so that others might replicate their results.\nFactual Error 2: “Many of the bankruptcy cases were more than ten years old.”\nThe Facts: The data set was from 1981, which was exactly ten years prior to the 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Investigation Report. None of the data set was “more than ten years old.” The cases were not “resolved” in some instances until several years after 1981.\nFactual Error 3: “We conclude, along with NSF, that Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook did not violate any policy of scientific openness, nor did they engage in scientific misconduct.”\nThe Facts: At the time the April 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report was written, NSF had come to no conclusions on either the matter of scientific openness or the matter of scientific misconduct. NSF did not come to any conclusions regarding the Shuchman allegations until three months later when a sole investigator wrote a closeout memo on July 2, 1991.\nThe closeout memo, like the March 6, 1991 letter before it, did not address allegations of scientific misconduct. Instead, it focused on the narrow question of data sharing and scientific openness.\nCuriously, in circumstances that will be examined in more detail later in this series, the author of the memo notes that in his personal judgment Shuchman’s allegations did not meet the NSF definition of misconduct:\nMy examination of [redacted, most likely ‘Shuchman’s’] review (which was published at [redacted] (1990)) and letters made it clear that the allegations regarding the substance in the book do not meet the NSF definition of misconduct.\n(As subsequent articles in this series will show, it was NSF policy at the time to undertake investigations of allegations of scientific misconduct on the basis of an investigation conducted by a team of experts rather than an examination conducted by an individual investigator.)\nFactual Error 4: “To have provided Shuchman with identifying information would have violated the investigators agreement with our IRB [Institutional Review Board] and with their granting agency, NSF.”\nThe Facts: To the contrary, the NSF closeout memorandum dated July 2, 1991 stated clearly “[i]n her letters [redacted, but probably ‘Teresa A. Sullivan’] had given the impression that the identifiers for the data base against the [redacted] file it had been coded from, existed but that she could not provide the database to [redacted, but probably ‘Philip Shuchman’] with those identifiers included because of HHS’s Human Subjects Regulation (45 CFR part 46).”\nThe NSF called Sullivan’s argument on this matter “bogus, because (A) on the cover sheet of the proposal the [Principal Investigators–Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook] had stated the proposal was exempt from the HSR under 45 CFR section 46.101 (b) (3) and (B) it was in fact exempt under 45 CFR section 46.101 (b )(5).” (Emphasis added.) Sullivan’s failure to disclose this significant change in the methodology to the funding agency, NSF, was problematic at best, and may possibly have been a violation of the original terms of the grant.\nIndeed, the NSF closeout memo is quite critical of the authors’ approach to verification of the data used in the study:\nWhen I talked to [redacted but most likely ‘Teresa A. Sullivan’] however, she said that the identifiers were excluded from the database from the start, because of the interpretation of the HSR by [redacted but most likely ‘The University of Texas’] Institutional Review Board. Thus, they were not refusing to provide the database with the identifiers: they couldn’t because the identifiers weren’t put in to begin with…It is unfortunate that their IRB erroneously compelled them to omit useful information from the database, rendering verification of their data exceedingly difficult.”[emphasis added]\nOne scholar who reviewed this excerpt from the NSF closeout memo, and who spoke exclusively to Breitbart News, noted the impact Institutional Review Boards can have on academic research, suggesting that they have significant power to protect information on human subjects–even when dealing with public records.\nFactual Error 5: “[T]hey [the authors] had an agreement with IRB (and therefore, the National Science Foundation) to treat the information as confidential.”\nThe Facts: Sullivan, Westbrook, and Warren may have had an agreement with the IRB (the University of Texas Institutional Review Board), but the funding agency–NSF–was not party to that agreement. NSF did not learn of it until after Shuchman’s complaint was filed and the NSF inquiry was initiated.\nBesides these five factual errors made in the report, this 1991 University of Texas “investigation” was also flawed for the critical and obvious question it failed to ask: Did Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook intentionally misinterpret HPP federal regulations on “protection of human subjects” in order to persuade the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas to impose what they knew to be uncalled-for constraints on the use of primary data for the purpose of making the data set unverifiable by other researchers?\nA more thorough report would have interviewed the members of the University of Texas Institutional Review Board and questioned them as to why no one had apparently bothered to reconcile the University of Texas’s regulations with the conditions of the NSF grant.\nHere’s how Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook described their methodology, which sampled data from 1981 bankruptcy filings from the 15 federal district courts in the three states of Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois in their 1989 book:\n“Because existing data were inadequate, we had to collect data on the characteristics of bankrupt debtors, their assets, their liabilities, their jobs, their marital status, whether they were homeowners, and so forth. This decision meant we would have to gather an enormous amount of information. We coded over 200 variables for each of 1,529 debtors, generating over 300,000 pieces of information.” (page 342)\nSullivan, Warren, and Westbrook went on to describe their crucial decision–a decision that was unknown to the funding organization, NSF, until after it began to investigate Professor Shuchman’s allegations of scientific misconduct:\n“[A]ll the data were coded by someone with at least a basic understanding of bankruptcy law and procedure. Every coder–indeed every person associated with the project–signed an agreement promising to hold confidential any information acquired about any individual. Although the files we used are public documents, the petitioners, lawyers, and judges had become, for the social scientist, human subjects, and we used normal safeguards for the protection of human subjects. These safeguards included the use of identifying numbers rather than names on all the data tapes prepared, and careful storage, under lock, of any data with identifying information. The names of all debtors and some creditors in this book are pseudonyms.” (page 350)\nDespite an invitation to Warren and her co-authors from officials at Rutgers University and the editors of the Rutgers Law Review to defend themselves publicly against charges of scientific misconduct Shuchman made in his 1990 Rutgers Law Review article, neither Warren nor co-authors Teresa A. Sullivan and Jay Westbrook have ever publicly defended themselves against Shuchman’s charges in an academic journal.\nThey did, however, as subsequent articles in this series will demonstrate, use the cover provided by the University of Texas whitewash report to encourage the unsuccessful attempts by the University of Texas and the University of Pennsylvania to put pressure on Rutgers University to force Professor Shuchman to recant.\nJune 23, 1992 letter from Rutgers Provost Samuels to Texas Provost Monti\nBoth Teresa A. Sullivan and Jay Westbrook continue to defend their 1989 work vigorously, while Ms. Warren has failed to respond publicly in any way on this matter. In a recent email to me, Professor Westbrook stated:\nConcerning the Shuchman article. The allegation of scientific misconduct was false and was found to be false in two independent investigations supported in substance by two universities and the National Science Foundation. The specific claims made by Professor Shuchman about the validity of our data conclusions were obviously wrong, but were part of the usual academic debates about emerging research. Any suggestion the claims were more than typical academic disagreements would be factually false. The many positive reviews of our book in leading legal and scientific publications speak for themselves as does the fact that our work is generally regarded as part of the bedrock of contemporary study of consumer bankruptcy in America.\nProfessor Westbrook’s claim that “the many positive reviews of our book in leading legal and scientific publications speak for themselves” doesn’t tell the entire story of the book’s reception by academic peers. It is worth noting that most of these positive reviews were written by academics with little or no expertise in bankruptcy law. One positive review in Science Magazine was only a page and a half long. The author, Ramona Heck, specializes in home based employment and the family. Another favorable review, mentioned specifically in Teresa A. Sullivan’s letter to me received by email on June 5, 2012, was written by Dr. David Caplovitz, who was described in his 1992 New York Times obituary as a “a sociologist and an authority on American spending habits and misleading sales practices.”\nAll three nationally recognized experts on bankruptcy who reviewed the book–Shuchman of Rutgers Law School, Marjorie Girth of SUNY Buffalo Law School, and economist Michelle White of the University of Michigan–gave it negative reviews. In the final two articles in this series, we will explore the unanswered questions posed by those reviews, as well as the institutional failings of the National Science Foundation and Harvard University and the roles they played in this unfolding scandal.\nMichael Patrick Leahy is a Breitbart News contributor, Editor of Broadside Books’ Voices of the Tea Party e-book series, and author of Covenant of Liberty: The Ideological Origins of the Tea Party Movement.", "char_count": 16844, "token_count": 4211, "k_exact": 2.3607, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8443, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "The Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) was enacted to regulate online speech, and in particular, to protect minors from “patently offensive,” “obscene,” and “indecent” content on the Internet. In the 1997 case Reno v. ACLU, however, the Supreme Court struck down many of the CDA’s content-related proscriptions, concluding that they violated the First Amendment by “suppress[ing] a large amount of speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive and to address to one another.”\nAmong the CDA provisions spared by the Court’s ruling was Section 230, a provision designed to “promote the continued development of the Internet” and “to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market… for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation.” To these ends, Section 230 provides, among other things, that “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Section 230 also contains a broad preemption clause, providing, with certain exceptions discussed below, that “no liability may be imposed under any State or local law that is inconsistent with this section.”\nThe direct beneficiaries of Section 230 have been “interactive computer services”—a term encompassing a wide variety of companies that aggregate, arrange and host user-created content online, including blog- and photo-hosting sites, news sites, social networks, classifieds, auction sites and consumer ratings services. In these contexts, Section 230 has frequently provided complete immunity in litigation arising from third-party content. Accordingly, companies operating in this space should be aware of Section 230’s basic contours and key limitations.\nSince its enactment, courts have construed Section 230 broadly to create a federal immunity to any cause of action that would make websites and online service providers liable for content originating with third-party users. This immunity has foreclosed liability in a wide variety of cases, including in the following:\n- In a 1997 decision in Zeran v. America Online, the 4th Circuit held that Section 230 provided America Online with a complete defense, on a motion for judgment on the pleadings, to liability for allegedly defamatory content posted by third parties on its online bulletin boards.\n- In Gentry v. eBay, the California Court of Appeal held in 2002 that Section 230 insulated eBay at the demurrer stage from negligence and unfair competition claims arising from a third party’s sale of forged autographs.\n- The 9th Circuit held in its 2003 decision in Carafano v. Metrosplash.com that Section 230 applied at summary judgment to absolve an online dating service of liability for defamation, negligence, and privacy torts arising from a false profile created in the name of an actress.\n- In a 2009 decision in Nemet Chevrolet v. Consumeraffairs.com, the 4th Circuit held that Section 230 applied on a motion to dismiss, immunizing Consumeraffairs.com against defamation and tortious interference claims based on third-party consumer reviews.\nThese cases underscore the breadth of Section 230 immunity, but there are limits. Perhaps most critically, Section 230 immunity does not apply if a defendant was (or, at the motion to dismiss stage, is adequately alleged to be) “responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development” of the content. As an example, in a 2006 case, Anthony v. Yahoo! Inc., the Northern District of California applied this limitation, on a motion to dismiss, to foreclose immunity for Yahoo against allegations that it emailed to the plaintiff the profiles of former subscribers to induce him to renew his subscription. Because the plaintiff had challenged Yahoo’s “manner of presenting the profiles” rather than “the underlying profiles themselves,” the court concluded that Section 230 did not apply.\nSimilarly, in 2008, the 9th Circuit withheld Section 230 immunity when Roommates.com required users to express their preferences regarding potential roommates’ gender, sexual orientation and family status with a drop-down menu, allegedly in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The court ruled that, “by requiring subscribers to provide the [unlawful preference] as a condition of accessing its service, and by providing a limited set of pre-populated answers, [Roommates.com] becomes much more than a passive transmitter of information provided by others; it becomes the developer, at least in part, of that information.”\nNotwithstanding cases such as Roommates.com, defendants do not sacrifice their Section 230 immunity by performing so-called traditional editorial functions. As a New Jersey state court explained in 2005, “deleting profanity, selectively deleting or allowing to remain certain postings, and commenting favorably or unfavorably on some postings, without changing the substance of the message authored by another, does not constitute ‘development’ within the meaning of § 230(f)(3).” But because the line between immune editorial activity and non-immune content “creation or development” may not always be obvious, online companies should tread carefully.\nFinally, there are certain areas of law into which Section 230 cannot reach. By its own terms, Section 230 does not limit certain federal criminal statutes, “any law pertaining to intellectual property,” or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Construing the “intellectual property” exception, in 2001, the Southern District of New York refused to grant immunity to a web host, Mindspring Enterprises, against federal and state trademark infringement claims arising from third-party content on one of the websites it hosted.\nOn the other hand, the 9th Circuit, in Perfect 10, Inc. v. CCBill LLC, concluded that the “intellectual property” exception encompasses only “federal intellectual property,” meaning Section 230 may be available, in some jurisdictions, as a defense to claims under state intellectual property law. Online companies should be aware of these statutory exceptions, as well as other potential gaps in Section 230’s protections.\nIn summary, although Section 230’s broad immunity is not unlimited, the statute has given online companies the freedom to innovate and to facilitate speech online—without the specter of facing liability for content created by third parties. These protections have also earned Section 230 an important place in the litigation practitioner’s toolkit.", "char_count": 6527, "token_count": 1631, "k_exact": 3.8305, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.83, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Cristiano Ronaldo netted two goals and set up another to power Real Madrid's blistering attack to a 5-0 demolition of Valencia in the Spanish league on Sunday, while Atletico Madrid chipped into Barcelona's lead by maintaining its perfect record at home.\nMadrid decided the match by halftime with doubles by Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria after Gonzalo Higuain had opened the scoring.\nAtletico, meanwhile, eased to a 2-0 win over Levante despite losing striker Radamel Falcao to injury for its 11th win in 11 home games this season, breathing an inkling of life into the title chase.\nAtletico took advantage of Barcelona's first league defeat of the season the day before to reduce the gap to the pacesetters to eight points.\nMadrid's best performance, and arguably the best first half played by any team in Spain this season, of its otherwise trouble-filled league campaign left Jose Mourinho's team in third place 15 points adrift of Barcelona.\nMadrid finally resembled the side that strolled through the league last season en route to the championship with a record haul of points (100) and goals (121).\n\"We made the game easy by pressuring them hard from the start,'' said Di Maria, whose season had been subdued until Sunday's match. \"We played a great game. On a personal level, I played well and shut a few mouths.''\nMadrid had already beaten Valencia 2-0 just five days before in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal. The two teams will meet for a third time in nine days on Wednesday in the return leg.\nValencia's collapse was complete.\nIts attack was toothless, its midfield sloppy with the ball, and its defense uncoordinated and repeatedly undone with the simplest of through passes into wide open spaces behind its back line.\nMadrid, however, was brutally efficient, quick to recover the ball and clinical in its finishing whether on the break or elaborating an attack against a set defense.\n\"They were completely superior to us,'' said Ernesto Valverde, who had guided Valencia to four wins in five league games since taking over as coach. \"Madrid has an extraordinary counterattack. Each counterattack was a clear chance for them. After the 1-0 we still weren't done, but when the 2-0 and 3-0 came so quickly we just fell apart.''\nHiguain got Madrid rolling in the ninth minute by making up for an earlier miss when he trailed Di Maria and fired his back pass beyond goalkeeper Diego Alves.\nAfter Sami Khedira had squandered a pair of clear looks on goal, Ronaldo doubled the visitors' advantage in the 35th by running onto a long pass, cutting back- first to his right, then to his left- to give Di Maria time to arrive on the far side before crossing for the winger to tap home.\nJust seconds after the restart Valencia was again retrieving the ball from its net after Madrid robbed the ball and in two passes left Ronaldo sprinting free to stab the ball between Diego Alves and his near post to make it 3-0.\nThe flurry of goals left Valencia and the fans at Mestalla stadium shell-shocked. And Madrid just kept pouring it on.\nRonaldo whipped in a vicious volley in the 41st after Mesut Oezil had deftly knocked down Di Maria's lobbed pass. And just before the halftime whistle Di Maria was inexplicably left unmarked on the break to take a pass from Oezil and casually slip the ball under the helpless Diego Alves.\nRonaldo's brace gave him 18 goals in the league, tied with Falcao. Barcelona's Lionel Messi leads the competition with 29 goals through 20 rounds.\nElsewhere, Osasuna beat visiting Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 to move off the bottom of the standings and sink its rival into last place, while forward Oscar Gonzalez scored one goal and set up another to steer mid-table Valladolid to a 2-0 home win over Real Zaragoza.\nEarlier at Vicente Calderon stadium, Adrian Lopez broke through for Atletico by capping a team buildup in the 32nd minute. Jorge \"Koke'' Resurrecion then put the result beyond doubt in the 61st, four minutes after Falcao walked off clutching the upper part of his left leg.\nAtletico coach Diego Simeone said Falcao would be sidelined for around three weeks.\nSimeone's Atletico, whose excellent season has been overshadowed by Barcelona's apparently unstoppable march toward reclaiming the domestic crown, is on a club-record run of 18 consecutive home wins in all competitions. It has also outscored its visitors 17-0 in its last six league matches.\n\"Numbers are important, but we can't pause to admire them,'' Simeone said. \"The most important thing is to keep going forward game by game until we see how far we can go.''\nOn Saturday, Barcelona fell 3-2 at Real Sociedad. Also, it was: Malaga 1, Celta Vigo 1; Getafe 1, Sevilla 1; and Granada 2, Rayo Vallecano 0.\nEspanyol edged out Mallorca 3-2 on Friday.

-{"text": "At some time in ancient Chinese history a powerful nation—the Qidan in what is now Inner Mongolia—simply disappeared. Where did these people go? A question that has perplexed scholars for generations may now be solved thanks to DNA.\nResearchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and others from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have concluded that the modern-day Daur people have a genetic match to the Qidan of ancient China, making them possible descendants of the Qidan people.\nOne of 56 ethnic groups in China with a population of some 121,500, the Daur today mainly live in Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and Xinjiang where they traditionally have engaged in agriculture and hunting, but now also maintain their own industries.\nLiu Fengzhu, a researcher with the Nationalities Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences which first began using DNA technology in its research in 1995, in a recent telephone interview talked about the discovery.\nThe research team first identified Qidan tombs from inscriptions on memorial tablets. From the Yelu Yu family tombs, they extracted DNA from the skull and teeth as well as carpal bone from Qidan woman corpse. At the same time, blood samples of Daur, Ewenki, Mongol and Han people in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were collected. From the blood samples, the researchers extracted DNA.\nAfter sequence testing, they concluded that people of Daur ethnic group are all descendants of Qidan nationality.\nResearchers also found possible links to the Qidan in other regions. They collected blood samples of the people with surnames of A, Mang and Jiang and other ethnic groups in Yunnan Province, who previously had claimed themselves descendants of Qidan rather than the ethnic groups such as Blang and Yi with which they were categorized on the founding of the People’s Republic of China more than 50 years ago.\n\"We found that the people in Yunnan Province with surnames of A, Mang and Jiang have similar patrilineal origins with Daur, so we identified them as descendants of Qidan, too,\" Liu said.\nThe more than 100,000 people with surnames of A, Mang and Jiang who live mainly in Baoshan and Ruili districts of southwest Yunnan were particularly pleased that the DNA test substantiated their earlier claims.\nQidan was a nomadic tribe in ancient north China, living on fishing and hunting. They came into power in the last years of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) as people from central uplands who brought with them advanced agricultural and manufacturing technologies. In the year 916, Yeluabaoji, the chief of the Qidan nationality, became the first emperor of the Qidan State. The Qidan created their own written characters and had an official name of \"Liao Dynasty (916-1125),\" when many ethnic groups banded together.\nRecords about the Qidan nationality suddenly stopped in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), together with its culture, and what happened to them has remained a matter of speculation.\nLiu Fengzhu believes the Qidan people were scattered through war, which explains the presence of their descendants in different areas of China. Liu said the Qidan, like many other groups, would have faced recruitment as soldiers by the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) as they established the Great Mongol Empire which stretched over Europe and Asia.\n“Some continued to live in a big group, such as Daur, so they are preserved. Some were assimilated by the people where they came live, just like ice in the sea. But those in Yunnan Province managed to keep the memory of the original ethnic group.”\nActually, the fate of the Qidan is not so unusual, Liu said. Similar cases can be found among other minority groups. For example, some Uygur people (a major ethnic group of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) now live in Taoyuan County of Hunan Province.\n(china.org.cn by Li Jinhui 08/02/2001)", "char_count": 3920, "token_count": 980, "k_exact": 2.838, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9358, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Holiday ‘Cheer’ and Depression Don’t Mix\nToasting the holidays with a festive cocktail is a tradition for many. A glass of wine or other alcoholic drink can lower inhibitions and help us relax, or temporarily relieve the stress of a difficult event. URMC Therapist Kevin Coffey warns, if you’re feeling blue in the midst of the merrymaking, think twice before downing a few drinks. Alcohol may actually make you feel worse.\nYou may be surprised to learn that alcohol is a depressant. Many people think the opposite because drinking gives them a “pick-me-up.” The truth is that alcohol depresses your central nervous system and brain. That temporarily blunts the effects of stress hormones. But it also slows your coordination, reaction time, and intellectual ability. When the alcohol wears off, there's a rebound effect, bringing on more stress and depression than you felt before the first sip.\nAlcohol and Depression: A Devious Duo\nBoth men and women can have problems with depression and alcohol. With men, the alcohol use usually comes first. Alcohol impacts two brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) linked to depression—serotonin and norepinephrine. The more you drink and raise your blood alcohol content, the more this negative effect increases. In fact, symptoms of depression may occur with blood alcohol content levels as low as 0.03—about one to two drinks.\nSwitch to Soft Drinks\nIf you have any symptoms of depression, skip the alcohol and toast with a soft drink.

-{"text": "Cheesecake Factory, IBM Team Up To Crack The Code Of Customer Bliss\nConsider the following entirely fictitious but totally plausible scenario:\nA diner at the Kuwait City branch of The Cheesecake Factory restaurant chain complains to his waiter that the pickles in his Americana Cheeseburger (American and cheddar cheese, crunchy potato crisps, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles and secret sauce) had a funny texture. The waiter instantly offers to replace the dish, since The Cheesecake Factory is committed to \"absolute guest satisfaction,\" according to Donald Moore, chief culinary officer for The Cheesecake Factory Inc.\nSo the diner opts for the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich (crispy coated chicken breast covered with melted cheese and either spicy Buffalo or chipotle mayo, served on a brioche bun), and subsequently reaches the company's desired level of satisfaction.\nThat very same day, diners at Cheesecake Factory outposts in Wauwatosa, Wis., Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and Pembroke Pines, Fla., also complain about the texture of the pickles on their burgers.\nAre these hypothetical experiences related in any way? And even if they are, is there any way that the people at The Cheesecake Factory's factory would ever learn of these events and connect them together?\nIn the future, the answer will be yes, according to Angela Nardone, chairman and chief innovation officer of N2N Global.\nNardone's company has partnered with IBM to use tools for analyzing big data sets to help the restaurant chain look for potential problems like this.\nWith more than 170 outlets, 300 menu items, and something like a thousand different fresh ingredients from dozens or hundreds of suppliers, Nardone explains, The Cheesecake Factory is blessed/cursed with a lot of data. The new software would allow the company to track whether the pickles all came from the same supplier, and whether other outlets were experiencing the same problem without yet being aware of it.\nNormally, says Nardone, finding out something like that, never mind doing anything about it, can take weeks. With the big data analytical software, she says, the problem can be spotted and solved within a day.\n\"The new system can work bottom up or top down,\" says Nardone.\nThe software might detect a pattern in complaints from the field, as in my fictitious scenario, or a supplier could contact the restaurant chain about a problem with a particular ingredient, and the new software could rapidly disseminate that information to local branches.\nAnd while the system wasn't implemented with public health in mind, it would certainly simplify tracking the culprit in cases of an outbreak of foodborne illness.\n\"We have talked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about this,\" says Nardone.\nThis complex new data analytics system may seem like a fairly expensive way to prevent the occasional mushy pickle from appearing on a burger. But as Atul Gawande wrote in The New Yorker, The Cheesecake Factory does seem to have an extremely high commitment to smooth operations and customer satisfaction for the more than 80 million people it serves each year.\nBut \"absolute guest satisfaction\"? I have to admit, that quest seems a bit quixotic to me.", "char_count": 3226, "token_count": 806, "k_exact": 3.6681, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8501, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The university is asking prospective students to submit a 140-character tweet in place of a second essay.\nThe University of Iowa is joining several others in its attempt to make students get to the point quickly and to improve their social media skills — two qualities that today's Twitter-savvy marketplace demands.\n- Kentucky Fried Chicken offers a Colonel's Scholars Twitter scholarship for $20,000 over four years based on a tweet responding to \"tell us in 140 characters why you deserve a $20,000 scholarship.\" The competition received 2,800 applications last year, says Rick Maynard, KFC spokesman.\n- Scholarship.com, an organization to help students find money for college, offers the Short and Tweet Scholarship, which asks applicants to sum up their college experience in a tweet to win $1,000 or a Kindle.\n- The 140 Scholarship, presented by College Scholarships.org, a website to help students search for funding, looks for a tweet highlighting how to use Twitter to improve the world.

Why not?'\" Dekkenga said. \"Taking the burden off the 800-word-essay was a huge incentive. I am on social media almost every day, so it's more comfortable to tweet than to write an essay.\"\nDekkenga worked on the tweet for five days.\n\"It turns out … having to simplify your thoughts down was much harder than I thought,\" Dekkenga said. \"I sat on the Twitter page and just kept typing things, but I was always 100 or 200 characters over.\"", "char_count": 3275, "token_count": 818, "k_exact": 2.6901, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.923, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Miners’ Rescue Dominates News Interest\nJump in Attention to Midterm Election News\nSummary of Findings\nThe dramatic rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for more than two months dominated the public’s news interest last week, while the media focused on both the miners’ saga and the midterm Congressional elections.\nWith the Nov. 2 elections fast approaching, the percent of the public tracking election news very closely jumped to 33% from 23% one week earlier.\nAccording to the latest News Interest Index survey conducted Oct. 14-17 among 1,002 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, Republicans continue to follow election news more closely than Democrats or independents. Currently, close to half of Republicans (47%) say they are following this news very closely, compared with 32% of Democrats and 26% of independents. The week of Oct. 7-10, 31% of Republicans said they were following news about the midterms very closely, compared with 21% of Democrats and 20% of independents.\nWhile the public appears increasingly attentive to election news, four-in-ten say they followed news about the rescue of the miners – heavily covered and broadcast live on television – more closely than any other news last week. Nearly two-in-ten (19%) say they followed news about the economy most closely; 15% say they followed news about the elections most closely.\nFor its part, the media devoted 28% of coverage to the midterm elections and 21% of newshole to the drama that unfolded in Chile, according to a separate analysis by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ). Roughly 12% of coverage focused on the still-struggling economy – about 8% on the economy in general and 4% on the foreclosure issues causing new problems for the housing market.\nAbout half of the public (49%) says they followed news about the rescue of the Chilean miners very closely. That’s greater than the 33% that said they very closely followed news about a deadly explosion in a West Virginia coal mine this April and comparable to the 47% that said they followed news that closely about the deaths of 12 miners in a West Virginia mine in January 2006.\nWomen generally paid closer attention to the developments in Chile than men: 55% say they followed this news very closely, compared with 42% of men.\nMore than four-in-ten (42%) say they followed news about the economy very closely, while 19% say this was the story they followed most closely. About a quarter (26%) say they followed news about foreclosure problems very closely, while 6% say this was the news they followed most closely.\nA third (33%) say they followed news about the midterm elections very closely, 15% say this was the news they followed most closely. Nearly four-in-ten men (38%) say they followed election news very closely, compared with 28% of women.\nAbout two-in-ten of the public (19%) say they followed news about Obama administration plans to lift the ban on deep-water oil and gas exploration put in place after the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The story accounted for 3% of coverage; 5% say this was the news they followed most closely.\nTwo-in-ten (20%) say they very closely followed news about a federal judge’s decision to block enforcement of the government’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy concerning gays in the military. This news accounted for 3% of coverage and 3% say this was the news they followed most closely.\nWhile young people generally say they are following key news stories less closely than older people, that is not the case with the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” story. More than two-in-ten (22%) of those ages 18-29 say they followed this news very closely, compared with 17% of those age 30-49, 19% of those age 50-64 and 24% of those 65 and older.\nThese findings are based on the most recent installment of the weekly News Interest Index, an ongoing project of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The index, building on the Center’s longstanding research into public attentiveness to major news stories, examines news interest as it relates to the news media’s coverage. The weekly survey is conducted in conjunction with The Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, which monitors the news reported by major newspaper, television, radio and online news outlets on an ongoing basis. In the most recent week, data relating to news coverage were collected October 11-17, and survey data measuring public interest in the top news stories of the week were collected October 14-17, from a nationally representative sample of 1,002 adults.\nAbout the News Interest Index\nThe News Interest Index is a weekly survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press aimed at gauging the public’s interest in and reaction to major news events. This project has been undertaken in conjunction with the Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, an ongoing content analysis of the news. The News Coverage Index catalogues the news from top news organizations across five major sectors of the media: newspapers, network television, cable television, radio and the internet. Each week (from Monday through Sunday) PEJ compiles this data to identify the top stories for the week. (For more information about the Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, go to www.journalism.org.) The News Interest Index survey collects data from Thursday through Sunday to gauge public interest in the most covered stories of the week.\nResults for this survey are based on telephone interviews conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International among a national sample of 1,002 adults living in the continental United States, 18 years of age or older, from October 14-17, 2010 (671 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 331 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 157 who had no landline telephone). Both the landline and cell phone samples were provided by Survey Sampling International. Interviews were conducted in English.\nThe combined landline and cell phone sample are weighted using an iterative technique that matches gender, age, education, race, Hispanic origin, region, and population density to parameters from the March 2009 Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. The sample is also weighted to match current patterns of telephone status based on extrapolations from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey. The weighting procedure also accounts for the fact that respondents with both landline and cell phones have a greater probability of being included in the combined sample and adjusts for household size within the landline sample. Sampling errors and statistical tests of significance take into account the effect of weighting. The following table shows the error attributable to sampling that would be expected at the 95% level of confidence for different groups in the survey:\nIn addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.", "char_count": 7144, "token_count": 1786, "k_exact": 2.5452, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8937, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "4 Common Startup Mistakes To Avoid\nPosted on July 25, 2012 by nina\nPublished by Fast Company\nWith all the startups I’ve seen, and I’ve coached over 700 by now, I’ve become somewhat of an expert on common mistakes startups make. So when I find someone doing it right, I like to share.\nThomas Franchise Solutions is like no other startup I’ve worked with. Peter Thomas, the founder, is not a twenty-something. He is a mature, visionary leader, a man who has learned from his own experience as a serial entrepreneur how to start and run a company aligned with his personal values. He’s very blunt about telling you what those values are: health, happiness, freedom, and integrity. After retiring, he spent the last decade giving workshops and training others in values-based leadership. He donates the proceeds to charity.\nThat’s why, when he came out of retirement this year to start another company (he was bored), he was able to raise $13 million from friends and acquaintances to capitalize it. When he started making phone calls to raise money, he had already avoided the four most common startup mistakes: lack of a clear business model, insufficient market knowledge, not investing in human capital, and taking too much money.\nHave a clear business model: Thomas picked a business at the intersection point of two industries he knew well, franchising and real estate. Real estate is a large part of the expansion of a franchise, because most of them involve brick and mortar. His experience bringing Century 21 to Canada and becoming involved with a massage franchise gave him the franchising experience, while the fact that he developed a luxury hotel in Arizona gave him depth in real estate. He had the business model: find franchisors of a certain size and experience who need to get to the next level, inject some capital into their businesses, and provide the strategic expertise along with the capital. Thomas Franchise Solutions, I’d guess, is a new kind of cross between a private equity firm, a VC and a consulting firm.. The business will have several revenue streams: return on the capital invested, and in cases where the franchisor isn’t ready for investment, strategic advisory services\nDo your market research:Thomas’ first hire spent months exploring the market, actually looking at the competition and what they were doing, examining all the problems of small business finance, and making sure capital was the gating factor for the expansion of franchises. When the company launched, he was sure it would have customers from a numbers perspective.\nHire and develop the best people: At his stage in life, Thomas has no desire to do the grunt work, but he wants the end result to reflect his values. So he engineers that in from the get-go by surrounding himself with the best people. Not only are these people smart, but they are independent. They are not all “hired” either; some are assembled as a boardroom of equals, already independent, who will work on projects where they are needed. This is not the same as outsourcing things that aren’t part of your core competency–rather, it is bringing people to the table who may not be necessary full time, or who prefer not to have jobs.\nDon’t take too much money: The $13 million fund, known as Fund 1, is a minimum viable product, now testing customer acceptance before TFS goes for a $100 million fund in three years. Thomas decided to do the initial market test to determine whether this is the best way to bring the franchise business model into the 21st century. As an entrepreneur with outside investors, he tells his team that its job is to minimize the investors’ risk. A novel perspective.\nTo bring a diverse group of inside and outside people together and put them on the same page so they can collaborate and develop into a team takes both vision and leadership. But in the three months that TFS has been conducting due diligence on its initial deals, I’ve watched the group come together. I’m beginning to think that successful entrepreneurship might take a blend of generations.", "char_count": 4061, "token_count": 1015, "k_exact": 2.5361, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8719, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "At the end of the film “Miss Congeniality,” the FBI agent who has masqueraded as a Miss America contestant, admits she agrees with the rote refrain of the others, saying, “I really do want world peace.”\nEverybody says they “really do want world peace,” while knowing it won’t happen.\nFor a long time, the best available substitute for world peace was the Cold War. The atomic bomb had imposed the possibility of “mutually assured destruction,” and that was reality, not a pious hope.\nSo long as the United States and the Soviet Union could destroy one another, they would back off from confrontations that could lead to the use of nuclear weapons. Perhaps that did not create a golden era with the sun shining all over the world, but it worked.\nNot only did the two super powers stop short of directly going to war, they also restrained other countries from actions that might drag the two major players and the world into a war too horrible to imagine. The threat of nuclear war served as the guarantor of world peace.\nWhile some countries were relegated to the sidelines, many others found themselves in the orbit of one super power or the other. Armed and financed by their patron, they had little ability to act independently.\nThen, the Cold War ended. It looked like the United States was the only remaining super power as it witnessed the breakup of countries, including the Soviet Union. Smaller countries would pose no threat to the United States and presumably, they would be unable to unleash nuclear warfare.\nThe American peace would be an extension of the ability of the United States, during World War II and even during the Cold War, to use its undeniable military and economic power to impose its will on much of the world.\nWhy do Americans now feel a sense of weakness and inability to control events? American power in the world seems to have dissolved.\nIn a highly partisan political climate, it is easy to blame President Obama. His personal style, soft-spoken and sometimes hesitant, seems to favor limits on American action and invite others to disturb the peace.\nSen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who lost to Obama in 2008, almost never misses the chance to propose militant reactions to world events and to criticize the president for not taking his advice.\nEven if you might want more assertiveness from Obama and less from McCain, that may miss the point.\nIt’s possible there are no more super powers, a fact that may be difficult for Americans to accept. Since the beginning of the Twentieth Century, Americans had grown use to calling the shots, but now frustration has replaced self-confidence.\nLook at the Ukraine, Syria, and Israel-Hamas. War rages in all three areas, and the United States seems unable to do anything about these conflicts except to propose cease-fires, which turns out to be a bit like saying, “I really do want world peace.”\nThe Ukraine is torn between Russia, its historic boss, and Western Europe, which offers an opportunity for prosperity. Because the economies of Russia and Western Europe are intertwined, Western Europe took quite a while to agree with the U.S. that Russia should suffer from real sanctions. Finally, the downing of the Malaysian plane got it to act.\nIn Syria, torn by war, the Russians like the current regime and the Americans don’t. Without a real alternative, the U.S. cannot force a resolution.\nAnd the conflict in Syria has deprived Hamas, which controls Gaza, of the backing essential to maintain its conflict with Israel. It is now engaged in a last-ditch, almost suicidal, effort, and Israel responded by going to war in hopes of finishing off Hamas. The U.S. cannot even achieve a ceasefire.\nNone of this is particularly healthy, and it is a poor substitute for peace.\nSo long as nobody is shooting at Americans, which could become a possibility in the next couple of years after the troops leave Afghanistan, why should all this matter to us?\nThe political partisan divide reflects an underlying sense of unhappiness in the country. And that results partly from a recognition that the U.S. role in the world, as the dominant power, has eroded and perhaps been lost.\nRecognizing the world has changed, leaders on both sides of the aisle could seek a new definition of America’s role. The goal would be to develop a consistent policy, attuned to the 21st Century and aimed at restoring American self-confidence in world affairs.", "char_count": 4418, "token_count": 1104, "k_exact": 2.06, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8101, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

(2009) Hyperoxia-induced lung injury in gamma-glutamyl transferase deficiency is associated with alterations in nitrosative and nitrative stress. American Journal of Pathology, Vol.175 (No.6). pp. 2309-2318. ISSN 0002-9440Full text not available from this repository.\nOfficial URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.2353/ajpath.2009.081017\nγ-Glutamyl transferase (GGT) regulates glutathione metabolism and cysteine supply. GGT inactivation in GGTenu1 mice limits cysteine availability causing cellular glutathione deficiency. In lung, the resultant oxidant burden is associated with increased nitric oxide (NO) production, yet GGTenu1 mice still exhibit higher mortality in hyperoxia. We hypothesized that NO metabolism is altered under severe oxidant stress and contributes to lung cellular injury and death. We compared lung injury, NO synthase (NOS) expression, nitrate/nitrite production, nitroso product formation, peroxynitrite accumulation, and cell death in wild-type and GGTenu1 mice in normoxia and hyperoxia. The role of NOS activity in cell death was determined by NOS inhibition. Exposure of wild-type mice to hyperoxia caused increased lung injury, altered NO metabolism, and induction of cell death compared with normoxia, which was attenuated by NOS inhibition. Each of these lung injury indices were magnified in hyperoxia-exposed GGTenu1 mice except nitrosation, which showed a diminished decrease compared with wild-type mice. NOS inhibition attenuated cell death only slightly, likely due to further exacerbation of oxidant stress. Taken together, these data suggest that apoptosis in hyperoxia is partially NO-dependent and reiterate the importance of cellular glutathione in lung antioxidant defense. Therefore, reduced denitrosylation of proteins, possibly resulting in impaired cellular repair, and excessive apoptotic cell death likely contribute to increased lung injury and mortality of GGTenu1 mice in hyperoxia.\n|Item Type:||Journal Article|\n|Subjects:||R Medicine > R Medicine (General)|\n|Divisions:||Faculty of Medicine > Warwick Medical School > Translational & Systems Medicine > Metabolic and Vascular Health\nFaculty of Medicine > Warwick Medical School\n|Journal or Publication Title:||American Journal of Pathology|\n|Publisher:||American Society for Investigative Pathology Inc.|\n|Official Date:||December 2009|\n|Page Range:||pp. 2309-2318|\n|Access rights to Published version:||Restricted or Subscription Access|\nActions (login required)", "char_count": 2760, "token_count": 690, "k_exact": 4.3974, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.6952, "is_high_quality": false, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Stocks Hit Highs While Uncertain Credit Union Members Continue to Save\nThe Dow Jones industrial average in recent days has ended a surge that the markets hadn’t seen in 17 years.\nFor some, it was one more sign that the nation’s economy may be continuing to move along the road to recovery. Industry watchers said the Dow’s ascension, which started at close to 14,254 on March 5 and peaked at 14,514 on March 15, was fueled by several factors, including a spike in gas prices.\nInvestors may have either been spooked by the record rise or made some adjustments to their portfolio mix.\nFor credit union members, who tend to err on the side of conservative, the Dow’s increase might have aligned with their savings, which were up in January, according to CUNA Mutual Group’s March Credit Union Trends Report.\nThe timing of the Dow’s record movement coincides with the latest update from an initiative between CU Solutions Group and SaveUp. According to the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, which owns CU Solutions Group, SaveUp is a free rewards program that encourages consumers to make positive changes to their financial behaviors.\nMore than 40 credit unions have signed on with SaveUp since the alliance launched six months ago.\nEvery time members contribute to their savings or retirement accounts, pay down their credit cards, mortgages or other loans or engage with SaveUp’s financial education content, they earn credits they can use to win prizes from sponsors such as Virgin America, Banana Republic and GameStop, as well as a $2 million jackpot, CUSG said.\nFor the $737 million Northeast Credit Union in Portsmouth, N.H., SaveUp has served several roles particularly with certain member niches and their spending and long-term planning goals, said Andrea Pruna, vice president of marketing at Northeast.\n“SaveUp is a great innovative tool to engage with the Gen Y market, reward positive member behavior and help plan our marketing tactics using its incredibly useful data reports,” Pruna said.\nUnlike their baby boomer counterparts, Gen X and Gen Y have a bit more time to plan for retirement. To target these younger members, SaveUp recently released its first U.S. Consumer Savings and Debt Report with its major findings focused on the financial habits of Gen X and Gen Y.\nWith Gen X, average mortgage debt was $181,706, which was 21% above the U.S. average. Average student loan debt and credit card debt were $44,270 and $8,801, respectively.\nGen Y had less debt averages, according to SaveUp. The average mortgage debt was more than $161,000, which was 7.5% above the U.S. average. Average student loan debt and credit card debt were $40,273 and $4,113, respectively.\n“Our recent data report shows that young people are bearing a disproportionate share of the country’s non-asset debt, and if credit unions can engage younger Americans to offer them better terms, and longer term financial services, there is a real benefit to all sides,” said Priya Haji, CEO and co-founder of SaveUp.\nMeanwhile, despite the Dow’s winning streak and more consumers paying down debt, retiring comfortably remains elusive for some.\nAccording to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s Retirement Confidence Survey, released on March 19, the percentage of workers confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement is essentially unchanged from the record lows observed in 2011.\nWhile more than half expressed some level of confidence, with 13% being very confident and 38% somewhat confident of being able to afford a comfortable retirement, 21% were not too confident, and 28% were not at all confident. The latter figure is the highest level of those not at all confident recorded during the 23 years of the survey, EBRI said.\nOne reason that retirement confidence has remained low despite a brightening economic outlook is that some workers may be waking up to just how much they may need to save, according to EBRI.\nAsked how much they believe they will need to save to achieve a financially secure retirement, a striking number of workers cited large savings targets: 20% said they need to save between 20% to 29% of their income and 23% indicated they need to save 30% or more.\n“Aggressive as those savings targets appear to be, they may not be based on a careful analysis of their individual circumstances,” said Jack VanDerhei, EBRI research director and co-author of the report. “Only 46% report they and/or their spouse have tried to calculate how much money they will need to have saved by the time they retire so that they can live comfortably in retirement.”", "char_count": 4593, "token_count": 1148, "k_exact": 3.4288, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.88, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Common Skin Conditions: Fine Lines and Wrinkles\nCreases. Furrows. Crevices. Cracks. No matter what you call them, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process.\nSo, what causes wrinkles?\nAs we get older, our skin becomes thinner and less supple, and its ability to protect itself from damage is also diminished. From smoking to sun exposure and even smiling, there are many possible causes of wrinkles.1 Whether you see them as markers of milestones or a sign of the mileposts behind you, wrinkles are a beautiful expression of who we are and where we have been—even still, most of us would prefer to keep them to a minimum.\nHow can I prevent them?\nWrinkles affect everyone as they age, but where and when they appear is largely up to you. Limiting sun exposure, or wearing long sleeves and hats when outside, is the best way to help maintain your youthful complexion a little longer. The importance of applying a sunscreen such as our award-winning, PABA-free Nu-Derm® Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 cannot be overstated for its ability to keep signs of skin aging at bay, now and down the road.\nDry skin, often made worse by sun exposure, can also make the appearance of wrinkles look more prominent. Make it a habit to carry a reusable water bottle with you, and sip it constantly. Add a squeeze of fresh citrus like lime, lemon, or even orange to give your water a kick of flavor and some power-packed Vitamin C.\nWhat can I do to get rid of them?\nUnfortunately, wrinkles are just a part of life. Instead of trying to wage an all-out war on them, we suggest starting each morning with something you actually can control: a quick beauty trick that can help tighten the appearance of your skin. Fill a small basin with cold water and ice cubes, and dip your face in for 5 to 10 seconds. Doing this will help to shrink the appearance of pores and reduce under-eye puffiness.2\nFollow that with a 10-minute facial massage to stimulate skin cells and tighten the appearance of the skin. Moisturizer has inherent plumping properties that temporarily smooth out the skin, so be sure to apply your favorite every morning.\nAt bedtime, try a targeted eye-area product such as Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Cream to help diminish the appearance of pesky crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eyes. A humidifier and a good night’s rest can also work wonders to help keep the stresses of the day from showing up on your skin.\nAs you may have guessed, the key to flawless skin is really you: your discipline, your ability to stay young at heart, and your selection of just a few of the right products to bring out the best of every milestone you’ve achieved. Protect and bring out your natural radiance for years to come by incorporating these steps into your daily beauty ritual.\nReferences: 1. Cosmetic procedures for wrinkles.

-{"text": "Islam and Muslims in Beautiful Caribbean\nTwo Islands, One Nation\nSmall, lush, tropical, tranquil, prosperous, free, laid back, vibrant and active Trinidad & Tobago is unlike most other places in the world. It is a set of two islands, one smaller than the other, that together constitute a country and a member nation of the United Nations.\nGeographically, culturally, historically, economically and politically, Trinidad & Tobago is an integral part of the West and yet it is located at a respectable physical distance from both Europe and the United States with large green chunks of the mighty Atlantic separating one from the other.\nBlessed with Allah’s bounties in the form of enormous wealth from oil and natural gas, Trinidad & Tobago is perhaps the most affluent nation of the Caribbean and the West Indies, but it is also a nation, like many other nations of the so-called Developing World, that is widely interspersed with pockets of grinding poverty.\nIt has a surfeit of cars on its roads but is plagued with a rate of air pollution and traffic accidents and fatalities that are alarming. Many of its beautiful beaches are washed over with oil slicks.\nAlcohol flows through the veins of Trinidad & Tobago like water, and crime stalks the nation like a chronic nightmare.\nMidway between the East and the West\nThe people of Trinidad & Tobago are a sensitive, proud, hard working, decent, accomplished and highly educated lot. Literacy is over 90 percent and education is free right through the university level.\nThe spirit of entrepreneurship and personal initiative and enterprise is as common as the national fever for partying, music, fete, frolic, “liming” – hanging out and having a good time – and the annual Christian-secular festival of Carnival that embodies many of these questionable practices.\nIn many ways perhaps Trinidad & Tobago is a midway point between the more fully developed nations of the West and what many people refer to as the “Third World.” It is a nation the origin of most of whose people is the “East” – mostly Asia and Africa – but whose present location, culture and orientation is mostly of the “West.”\nAnd in more ways than one, Trinidad & Tobago is a checkered microcosm of the world and its multifarious peoples, cultures and traditions. It is in closest proximity to South America and yet in many marked ways it is not a Latin American nation.\nOverall, Trinidad & Tobago is a society whose people, leaders and culture are uniquely and amazingly open and sensitive to more than one point of view, whether it is in politics, religion or something else.\nRacial and Religious Harmony\nTrinidad & Tobago is a land in which white, black and brown people of all faiths and philosophies commingle and coexist in peace and harmony with one another.\nToday, religion is being used by narrow-minded bigots and self-serving zealots and charlatans everywhere to exploit society, divide people and the world into hostile camps and visit all kinds of the most unspeakable atrocities on fellow human beings. At a time like this, Trinidad & Tobago has every reason to proudly celebrate its spirit of broad-minded tolerance, peaceful coexistence and racial and religious harmony.\nIt is a land in which Christians, Hindus, Muslims and others live, work and go about their daily business practicing their “religion” with a spirit of mutual respect and accommodation that is reflective of the basic teachings of Islam in this regard. Historically, it is reminiscent of the racial and religious harmony that prevailed for centuries in Muslim Spain before the Inquisition.\nWith the two large African and Indian racial and ethnic groups having a comparable share and a complimentary role in the composition of the society, and with a small white and still smaller Chinese and native Caribbean presence playing the role of salt and yeast in the leavening of this wonderful mix, Trinidad & Tobago is the true melting pot of the world in modern times, even though other societies of the world may have from time to time laid claim to that title and delivered only marginally and meagerly on that claim.\nIn earlier times, it was Islam that taught the world how people of different religious and racial backgrounds must coexist and live in peace and harmony with each other. Islam created the first true racial, religious and cultural melting pot of the world.\nIn more ways than much of the world realizes, and without actually pressing that expression into service or making too much fuss about it, Trinidad & Tobago embodies what some parts of the world recently have come to call diversity – an oblique reference to mutual tolerance, accommodation, negotiation and respect between and amongst diverse population segments representing diverse racial and ethnic categories, cultural groupings and religious viewpoints.\nAn Enlightened Democracy\nTrinidad & Tobago is also a resource-rich society with a great and vibrant present and an even greater and more vibrant future that is full of promise, potential and excitement. It has a higher literacy rate than most societies of the world and an economic base and infrastructure that are geared to propel it in the ranks of the developed societies of the world by the year 2020.\nAbove all, Trinidad & Tobago is a free, proud, self-respecting and enlightened democracy, where freedom strains and rings from every beach, valley and mountaintop.

-{"text": "The final stupid weekend of what was an extremely stupid NFL regular season. I mean, they're all pretty stupid, but this one certainly felt more stupid than usual. Bad calls, bad coaching, bad penalties. Just stupidity all around. Let's summarize for Week 17…\nThe second stupidest officiating moment, Bill Leavy edition\nWith playoff implications in play, Leavy's crew had a rough go in the late moments of the Chiefs-Chargers game. The first example wasn't necessarily a bad call, but it was still poor officiating because Leavy's crew didn't perform their due diligence.\nDeep in their own territory, the Chargers snapped it to Eric Weddle on a fake punt on 4th-and-2. Weddle apparently gained the first down before he fumbled, leading to a Kansas City touchdown. It was ruled by Leavy's crew, though, that his forward progress was stopped before he coughed it up. Again, might have been the right call on a bang-bang play, but why wasn't first-down yardage reviewed? And why was no explanation given? This was a play that had major implications and merited an extra look, but Leavy and Co. ignored all of the options put in place for them to get these calls right.\nThe stupidest officiating moment, Bill Leavy edition\nBut that game might not have even gone to overtime had Leavy's crew noticed that the Chargers had an illegal formation with seven men on one side of the ball when Ryan Succop missed what would have been the game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter.\nThe worst part of this: Two officials—who appear from the tape to be side judge Keith Parham and umpire Ruben Fowler—were staring straight at the line from behind the Chargers rushers before the snap of the ball. They had to see the seven Chargers on the line to the right of the ball, which is illegal. Teams can have only six men on either side of the ball when it is snapped on a field-goal try.\nHad a flag been thrown, Succop would have had another chance from only 36 yards out. In his career, he's an 85-percent kicker from that range. Had the kick been made, Pittsburgh would be the No. 6 seed in the AFC, rather than San Diego.\nThe stupidest officiating moment, Gene Steratore edition\nSteratore doesn't get mentioned here very often because he's a damn good referee. But Sunday night, he overlooked something that could have cost the Cowboys their season. The play clock operator mistakenly gave Dallas only 25 seconds, rather than 40, after a 34-yard completion to Jason Witten in the fourth quarter. It was obvious the Cowboys didn't have enough time, but Steratore blew the play dead when the clock hit zeros and gave them a five-yard delay-of-game penalty anyway.\nNBC's Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels noticed immediately that something wasn't right, but nobody on Steratore's crew did. And the Cowboys never protested. Shockingly stupid.\nThis actually happens quite frequently, but the officials almost always pick up on the miscue from the clock operator and pick up the flag. Not this time, and in a huge moment.\nNow, Dallas scored on the drive anyway and lost regardless, but this was a massive blunder that would have been criticized in a big way had it affected the outcome.\nThe stupidest lapse in coverage, Bengals edition\nSomeone tell the Ravens that A.J. Green is one of the five best receivers in football.\nThe stupidest lapse in coverage, Bears edition\nIt's 4th-and-8 with your season on the line, and you let this happen?\nThe stupidest example of a lack of awareness\nHow often do we see packs of players, or at least individuals, go ape$%#& in attempts to recovery fumbles that clearly weren't fumbles? The one damn time we get a fumble that is actually a fumble on a strange play, and nobody on either Chicago or Green Bay even makes an effort…\nThat might have been the difference in what was the de facto NFC North championship game.\nThe stupidest front-office decision\nDo Jimmy Haslem, Joe Banner, Michael Lombardi and everyone else running the Cleveland Browns really believe the team they put on the field in 2013 was any better than its 4-12 record? Did they expect more from a team that traded its 2012 No. 3 overall pick midseason, lacked a half-decent starting quarterback and was still rebuilding on both sides of the ball?\nI don't understand how an organization gives up on a head coach 352 days into his tenure, but the Browns did exactly that on Sunday night, firing Rob Chudzinski after a 4-12 season. That makes little sense to me, or anyone in the football world not named Haslem, Banner or Lombardi.\nIn Lombardi's defense, he was named general manager after Chudzinski was hired last January.

-{"text": "Tiers for talents\nRather than limit talent choices by specialization, the new talent choices are based on specific options. For example, the first talent tier at level 15 is all based around Charge, which is becoming the fundamental travel ability of all three warrior specs in Mists. This approach, giving talents that are more universally broad in their application, has pros and cons. One of the things I find compelling about this approach is its ability to tailor talent choices to one's own playstyle.\nThe three talent choices here, Juggernaut (a 12-second Charge instead of a 20-second cooldown), Double Time (allowing you to charge twice before the cooldown) and Warbringer (Charge now roots the target for 5 seconds) are all designed to make Charge function the way you want it to. I can imagine a use for any of these talents for whatever role you happen to be playing.\nThe next tier, the survival talent tier, illustrates one of the cons to the current design in that some of these talent tiers are at this moment not as compelling as I'd like. Having Enraged Regeneration as a talent instead of a class ability is fine, but compared to Second Wind (which combines modern Second Wind with modern Blood Craze) and especially the version of Impending Victory, they're all self-heal abilities ... which is kind of bland. (I'm also trying to decide if I would rather have a 30% heal over 10 seconds or a 10% instant heal every 30 seconds, and I'm leaning towards the latter.) Granted, a self-heal is the easiest thing to justify, but a temporary immunity or even a variation of current abilities like Die by the Sword might have been good here, or a magic resistance ability for variety.\nThe level 45 tier was called the CC tier at BlizzCon, but it's not really apt. The three talents listed are all fine talents. Throwdown and Piercing Howl work pretty much how you remember them, while Cripple effectively makes Hamstring apply by your Rend ticks and auto-attacks. There's nothing really wrong with these abilities, but they're not true CC. There's a 5-second stun and two snares, one an AoE, the other single-target but not requiring any effort to apply.\nIt would have been nice for the CC tier to have an actual PvE-focused CC instead of three abilities mostly useful for PvP or kiting. Something as simple as an Impaling Throw that uses your weapon to root someone by pinning them to the ground or walls or something. I mean, we can silence people by throwing weapons at them -- why not?\nThe upper tiers\nAt level 60, we see three talents aimed at silence or interruption effects. Gag Order and Rude Interruption return more or less unchanged, joined by Disrupting Shout. Disrupting Shout is an AoE interrupt that hits everything in 10 yards and locks out any casting in the same school for 4 seconds. I like to call it what every PvP warrior has ever wanted.\nBut it's also probably a solid option for tanks that prefer charging into a pack to trying to silence a caster on a pull.\nMeanwhile, the level 75 talents are all aimed around rage. We mentioned last week that Enrage effects\nwill be purely about rage generation, and these three talents are all aimed at different ways to manage that. Deadly Calm will make HS and Cleave cost no rage. Death Wish will place you in an enraged state and also will increase your rage generation from damage taken. And Bull Rush will enrage you when you charge or intervene. With combat now more about rage-generation attacks that allow you to spend rage later, these abilities could serve either a tank who needs or wants more rage for the larger rage cost cooldowns like Shield Block as well as a DPSer. I'm still sad to see Death Wish go from a pure DPS cooldown in this fashion.\nFinally, at level 90 we get the big three talents, the iconic ones that deal damage and bring flavor to the class ... and two of them are talents you currently have and that you'll lose for five levels, which is kind of weird. I'm not opposed to Bladestorm and Shockwave being big-ticket talents, and I love Avatar, at least in theory. I like the stated goal of making each talent give you the feel of the blademaster, tauren chieftain or mountain king from WC III\n. That said, it's still strange to contemplate losing two of the most signature warrior talents in the current game for five levels once Mists\ndrops. I do love the idea of being able to go arms and take Shockwave for a heavy add fight or Avatar for a single-target fight.What will these talents mean?\nOf course, it's too soon to know what the final forms of these tiered talents will be, although considering how far along the Mists talent calculator\nis, there's certainly been significant work done already. My misgivings on the survival and CC tiers aside, what I really do love about this talent scheme is the ability to take a talent spec based on what you want to do with it. It's easy to imagine an arms spec designed around messing with groups\n, and if we get the ability to switch talents on the fly (mentioned at BlizzCon), you could switch to a single-target spec for DPSing a boss\nI certainly feel that there are some odd artifacts of this redesign. There's not a lot of new\nhere, which really isn't that surprising considering we're only going five levels. More difficult for me to grasp is the idea of having to wait five levels to get back talents I'm used to having a lot earlier. I'm spoiled by Shockwave tanking.\nNext week, leveling a warrior.\nAt the center of the fury of battle stand the warriors: protection, arms and fury.

-{"text": "We determined the temporal dynamics of cambial activity and xylem cell differentiation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) within a dry inner Alpine valley (750 m asl, Tyrol, Austria), where radial growth is strongly limited by drought in spring. Repeated micro-sampling of the developing tree ring of mature trees was carried out during 2 contrasting years at two study plots that differ in soil water availability (xeric and dry-mesic site).\nIn 2007, when air temperature at the beginning of the growing season in April exceeded the long-term mean by 6.4 °C, cambial cell division started in early April at both study plots. A delayed onset of cambial activity of c. 2 wk was found in 2008, when average climate conditions prevailed in spring, indicating that resumption of cambial cell division after winter dormancy is temperature-controlled.

At the xeric site, the maximum rate of tracheid production in 2007 and 2008 was reached in early and mid-May, respectively, and c. 2 wk later, at the dry-mesic site. Since in both study years, more favorable growing conditions (i.e., an increase in soil water content) were recorded during summer, we suggest a strong sink competition for carbohydrates to mycorrhizal root and shoot growth. Wood formation stopped c. 4 wk earlier at the xeric compared with the dry-mesic site in both years, indicating a strong influence of drought stress on cell differentiation. This is supported by radial widths of earlywood cells, which were found to be significantly narrower at the xeric than at the dry-mesic site (P < 0.05).\nRepeated cellular analyses during the two growing seasons revealed that, although spatial variability in the dynamics and duration of cell differentiation processes in Pinus sylvestris exposed to drought is strongly influenced by water availability, the onset of cambial activity and cell differentiation is controlled by temperature.", "char_count": 2101, "token_count": 525, "k_exact": 3.9053, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8261, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

One way to attack is the recovery of supposedly erased data from hard disk or random-access memory.\nShred Agent is designed to protect your privacy. When you delete files in Windows it is possible to undelete or recover them using different file recovery utilities. If you want to make sure that the file you delete cannot be restored by any means, Shred Agent is the right tool for you.\nTo make sure nobody else has access to your private files, you might use some encryption software. But encryption is useless if the original plaintext can be recovered. Wiping is the process of writing some information directly into the space where the old file was located.\nShred Agent works on hardware level, thus wiping the files completely, eliminating the possibility of ever recovering them. What makes it different from most file wiping utilities currently available on the market is the capability to control the wiping of files in the background. For example you can configure the corresponding filters to wipe temporary file created by office programs.\nIf Shred Agent is installed on a server and a remote user is trying to delete a file from the \"Include\" list, Shred Agent will wipe the file via network.\nShred Agent can be customized to suit just your needs.

Nevertheless, Gus-who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat-refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his.\nClint Eastwood and a superb cast hit it out of the park in Trouble With The Curve, a great entertainment filled with heart, humor, family drama and fantastic acting. It's less a baseball flick, and more an engaging father/daughter relationship film that uses America's favorite pastime only as a bridge to get to the real heart of the matter. As an aging baseball scout battling failing vision, Eastwood must compete with computer programs and younger corporate know-it-alls, plus deal with a grown daughter (Amy Adams) who only wants his attention. This smart and extremely likeable outing has the veteran star right where he belongs and should draw his fans and beyond.Excerpt from Box Office.com located HERE\nGeorgia to North Carolina in this sports drama produced and directed by frequent Eastwood collaborator Robert Lorenz. For decades, Gus Lobel (Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in Major League Baseball. But these days his eyes just aren't what they used to be, and as a phenomenal young batter enters the draft, the owners of the Atlanta Braves cast a shadow of doubt over Gus' judgment. Meanwhile, his daughter Mickey ( Adams) is an aspiring partner at a major Atlanta law firm. In the wake of his wife's death, Gus sent Mickey away, and their relationship has been strained ever since. But she knows a thing or two about baseball, and recognizing that her father's job is in jeopardy, she decides to help him -- even at the risk of derailing her own career. Now, throwing caution to the wind (and ignoring her gruff father's objections), Mickey joins Gus for a scouting trip that could keep him in the game until he's ready to retire, as well as repair a father/daughter relationship that once seemed all but lost. Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Robert Patrick, and Matthew Lillard co-star.Excerpt from MRQE located HERE\nImage : NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.\nTrouble With the Curve looks acceptable on Blu-ray from Warner.

-{"text": "Greenpeace Catches Palm Oil Giant Wilmar in Forest Scandal\nSan Francisco, 21 October, 2013 - Household brands that source palm oil through Singapore-based palm oil trader Wilmar International, such as Mondelez (makers of Oreo cookies) and Procter & Gamble (makers of Gillette shaving products) are making consumers unwitting accomplices in the destruction of Indonesia’s forests, and pushing critically endangered species like the Sumatran tiger to the edge of extinction, revealed Greenpeace International today in new investigations.\n“Many people don’t realize there’s palm oil in all kinds of everyday products – from cookies to shampoo. So how would they know that Oreo cookies or Gillette shaving gel are actually linked to rainforest destruction?” Said Dr Amy Moas, Greenpeace Senior Forest Campaigner. “We have evidence that palm oil supplier Wilmar International, which sells to these household brands, sources from companies who are complicit in the destruction oftiger habitat. This must stop before Sumatran tigers go from endangered to extinct.”\nGreenpeace has evidence of trade by Wilmar with companies whose operations include illegal forest clearance and fires on peatland, like the ones that smothered Singapore in smog last summer. The report also documents harvests from illegal oil palm plantations within Tesso Nilo National Park – which is meant to be protected due to its unique plants and wildlife – that have previously been tracked to Wilmar’s own mills and continue to feed into Indonesia’s palm oil supply chain. Palm oil plantations are driving the destruction of Tesso Nilo National Park, of which only a quarter now remains, according to Greenpeace’s mapping analysis.\nGreenpeace’s investigations reveal that household names including Colgate Palmolive, Mondelez International, biofuels giant Neste Oil, Procter & Gamble and several other companies are purchasing dirty palm oil that is laundered onto the global market by Wilmar.\nAlthough Wilmar has undertaken to preserve high conservation value (HCV) forests and peatland on its own concessions, these areas supply less than 4% of the palm oil it trades and refines, with the remainder being produced by third-party suppliers. Wilmar has no proper systems in place to ensure traceability in their supply chains.\nThe palm oil sector is the largest driver of deforestation in Indonesia and the vast majority of the forest cleared in identified oil palm concessions in Sumatra during 2009–2011 was tiger habitat. The plantation sector is the chief threat to Sumatran tigers, with up to 1 million hectares of prime tigerhabitat already allocated to concessions.\n“As the world’s biggest player in the palm oil sector, Wilmar has the power to transform the industry. Wilmar needs to commit to a no-deforestation policy, so that U.S. companies can be sure that they’re not contributing to rainforest destruction or the death of tigers in Indonesia.” Said Moas.\nNote to editor:\n- The report “Licence to Kill” can be viewed at: www.greenpeace.org/licencetokill\nMedia contact / for Interviews with Dr. Amy Moas:\nPhotos & News clipreel available at:", "char_count": 3121, "token_count": 780, "k_exact": 3.9763, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.7988, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Three years ago at age 39, Rob* was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. Fortunately, it was detected in the early stages and was aggressively treated with chemotherapy and radiation. He continues to get good reports at his follow-up visits and has returned to his active lifestyle with his wife and four children. Rob is in sales, and enjoys biking, hiking, and just being outdoors.\nWhat was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?\nI was driving in my car when a bug flew in the window and hit me on the neck. As I brushed it away, I felt a bump. Another thing was that I was always so exhausted. However, the tiredness was such a gradual thing; I didn’t really associate it with something being wrong. For two years I had a rash in the middle of my chest that I thought was just dry skin. I didn’t realize these were warning signs for what turned out to be Hodgkin’s disease.\nWhat was the diagnosis experience like?\nI went to my family doctor first about the bump on my neck. He looked at it and said it was unusual, but wanted to give it a week or two. It didn’t go away, so he referred me to a general surgeon to have it biopsied. The biopsy came back indicating it was Hodgkin’s. The bump was a lymph node that was very close to the surface. The cancer was classified as a 2A (1A being the best and 4D being the worst).\nWhat was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?\nInitially, you think the world is coming to an end. I guess I was nervous, and there was a little bit of fear there. It was hard to believe this was really happening to me. But once we got further into it, I learned that the type of cancer I had was actually considered curable. So I realized that it wasn't so bad. Had I let it go, it could have killed me.\nHow is Hodgkin’s disease treated?\nFirst I went through 4 months of chemotherapy—eight cycles going every other week. The chemo I was given was fairly strong, so I took medication to boost my immune system. I also took medication for heartburn, which was a side effect of the chemotherapy. The side effects of the chemotherapy seemed to get progressively worse. I would feel worse for a longer period of time. By the time I had my last chemo treatment, it would really take my energy away. I would be in bed for 2–3 days following the treatment.\nOne of the drugs I was taking affected my lungs. I would have periods of time where I couldn't catch my breath. They took me off of it for the last two treatments. Then I had six weeks of radiation after that—going five days a week. I've been doing three-month follow-up visits for the first two years, and then six-month follow-up visits this past year. They do a CAT scan and a full exam. After this year, they'll just do an annual check to be sure everything is okay. Other than that, I don't really have to do anything for treatment.\nDid you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to having Hodgkin’s disease?\nAs far as dietary changes, we are much more aware of cleaning fresh vegetables and fruits before we eat them. We soak all our vegetables in a solution to help remove the pesticides. You can see the stuff coming out of the vegetables when you do that. There's usually a film that surfaces at the top of the water. I eat more organic foods and health foods than I did before. I guess the biggest change is that I drink more water. I just try to eat a balanced diet. I don't want to be a fanatic. We have always exercised, so I can't really say that's a change.\nI don't know if this is a lifestyle change, but I think I'm more aware of people who go through something like this. I feel more empathy for them than I used to before my diagnosis. It has also caused me to do a lot more evaluation of my life and my future.\nDid you seek any type of emotional support?\nMy family was real supportive. They were always there for me. I've been blessed with a family that really loves me. Also, my faith in God grew leaps and bounds. It is a very humbling experience, because you aren't in control and you don't know what’s going on with you. It was a great peace to know that my life was in God’s hands. I can't imagine going through it without my family and my faith.\nThere was also a group in town called, “Ribbon of Hope.” They are a support group for people diagnosed with cancer. They called me one day and wanted to know if it was okay for them to come to my house to visit. They came over and talked to me about how I was handling the diagnosis, treatment, and just dealing with having cancer. They invited me to the meetings, but I never ended up going. I guess I felt that I had the support I needed, but if I didn’t, I'm sure I would have gone. It seemed like a really great organization. I've told several other people about it.\nDoes having Hodgkin’s disease have an impact on your family?\nI think my wife and kids were real fearful that they might lose me. We spend more time together than we did before. My wife said the treatments had an impact on my emotions, but I didn’t really realize that. My wife has been a real trooper.\nWhat advice would you give to anyone living with Hodgkin’s disease?\nI would suggest that they make God a priority in their life. Second, I would suggest that they get a support system to help them get through it. It just helps to talk to other people who understand.\n*Not his real name\nInterviews were conducted in the past and may not reflect current standards and practices in medicine.

-{"text": "Med en “lånt” cykel jeg op fra min fætter Mortens lejlighed på Nordre Fasanvej og gjort den velkendte venstre på Mariendalsvej, der ville tage mig til Centrum. Øjebliket jeg ramte fortovet, følte jeg en utrolig følelse, som jeg ikke havde følt i lang tid … jeg var konge af vejen igen. Nå, ligesom alle andre dansker. Mariendalsvej bliver til Ågade, Åboulevard, og derefter Gyldenløvesgade, og kører over vandet, indtil du begynder på HC Andersen Boulevard. Med vinden i ryggen skyde mig over vandet, var jeg overvældet. Min lille genvej er at drejer til venstre på Hammerichsgade, højre på Jarmers Plads til Sankt Peders Stræde, højre til Nørregade, og derefter venstre på Skindergade indtil jeg ankommer på Strøget. Jeg plejer at gå min cykel til springvandet hvis jeg møde nogen, spise, eller gå shopping. Som jeg parkeret nær springvandet følte jeg noget andet velkendt, helt sikkert noget, at hver New Yorker føler … at jeg var på et tidspunkt i midten af verden.\nI had the chance to take two junkets to Copenhagen to visit my cousin this Year and had, as always, the time of my life.\nI wrote above about the borrowed bicycle waiting for me and my nostalgic, familiar trip into the City Center. Having not been back to my second home in a while, I was not only overcome with joy from being back on a bicycle in Copenhagen, but also with a sense of calm, inspired determination from being “the king of the road” on that bicycle on that road. Biking in most other cities is not quite the same, and not just because they don’t have the infrastructure. The culture of being accepted on a bicycle, let alone being possibly the most preferenced mode of transportation, is unusual, and I would argue that\ninfrastructure is secondary to this culture. This is what makes cycling in a city truly great (though bike lanes don’t hurt). Cycling in Copenhagen also produces perhaps the most “local” experience. Everyone cycles, so drivers, straphangers (metro users), and even walkers experience\nthe city in a manner largely unlike a Copenhagener. As a fake local, I rarely have any other experience than on my bicycle, but I won’t forget the few hours I spent one day walking with a friend, and how different the experience was, of such familiar places to me. I felt like a tourist, and I hated it! How very un-Danish, one might argue. On the flip-side, for some reason I also biked around Amelienborg for the first time (it seems that I’ve always walked the area), and that experience was all the more dissimilar, and very special.\nThinking of the distinctions in the development of cycling systems between Copenhagen and New York, the latter of which notably has been fomented by the growth of Citibike – infrastructure in NYC is paramount to this\ndevelopment, as we do not HAVE a cycling culture, let alone yellow cab, UberX, or suburban drivers who yield to cyclists on a given avenue (though Via drivers are mostly very polite). From the limited history of cycling in Copenhagen that I know, it was the *culture* that drove the infrastructure. In New York, we have needed and will continue to need infrastructure to give rise to such a culture, a culture of truly sharing the road. Exactly the reverse process. Thankfully, over the course of this year (nicely summed up in this older article Citi Bike to Begin Service in Queens and Expand Service in Brooklyn and Manhattan ), we began to seriously expand in the Outer Boroughs, including building 79 new stations in Brooklyn and 12 new stations in Long Island City (Queens). Having worked for the New York State Department of Transportation on highway engineering and planning in Long Island City, I can confirm that the neighborhood, exploding with commercial, retail, and residential growth, will substantially benefit from the Citibike option, particularly as\nManhattanites begin to commute there more and more, and vice-versa. Indeed, the Outer Boroughs are the next frontier in NYC’s cycling infrastructure expansion…though far from the final. Just as it’s a bit of a schlep to cycle to Papierun to grab dinner in Copenhagen, it’s even more difficult to get to Main Street in Flushing for the same *exotic* fare. This is quickly changing, though. By 2017 the system hopes to have 12,000 more bicycles in action all over New York City.\nPerhaps bike sharing, as I’ve noted in earlier posts, as a “gateway drug” for cycling in the United States is morphing into a more substantive piece of infrastructure in its own right. This is obviously quite distinct from what went on in Copenhagen. More importantly, even, it is fomenting the growth of a cycling culture beyond that of the participants in the Tour de France (or Bronx, for that matter). Indeed, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams proclaimed to constituents this year that “bike riding is more than recreation…it is daily transportation for an increasing number of commuters…” affirming even in the public rhetoric the robustness of this growing culture. While I may have thought, from a (fake) Copenhagener’s perspective, that bike sharing was incapable of doing much for sharing the road, perhaps bike share programs like Citibike all over the Nation (there are hundreds…) is the most substantive answer to growing our commuter cycling culture, at least in urban areas. The road and regulatory infrastructure still needs to catch up, but if culture leads, it all won’t be far behind.", "char_count": 5397, "token_count": 1349, "k_exact": 2.6438, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8899, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Additionally, she is responsible for recruiting, equipment and scouting of opponents.\nDuring her nine seasons as an assistant at Delaware, Malcom helped pilot the Blue Hens to six 20-win seasons, including three NCAA Tournament appearances and three WNIT berths.\nMalcom was instrumental in leading the 2013-14 squad into unknown territory after losing one of the most memorable and talented classes in school history following the 2012-13 campaign. The Blue Hens bounced back from graduating seven seniors, including 2013 WNBA Rookie of the Year Elena Delle Donne, and a career total of over 6,500 points, 3,200 rebounds and 1,100 assists in remarkable fashion.\nDelaware fielded nine freshmen and sophomores in 2013-14 with just three juniors and seniors, a far cry from the squad that reached the NCAA Sweet 16 just a season earlier. The returning Blue Hens combined for a total of 1,505 minutes (20.8 percent), 383 points (15.8 percent) and 269 rebounds (7.5 percent) in 2012-13. Fellow CAA schools predicted Delaware would finish fifth in the league while just one player (Akeema Richards) was chosen to the Preseason All-CAA Second Team.\nThis all served as motivation for UD as the Blue Hens returned to the CAA Championship game for the fourth straight season and earned a berth into the WNIT following a year where Delaware went 20-11 overall and 10-6 in the conference. The Blue Hens traveled north for a WNIT First Round contest wherein the eventual tournament champion, Rutgers, edged UD, 65-61.\nDuring that noted 2012-13 season, Malcom helped guide one of the most illustrious squads in Delaware history as the Hens saw another record-breaking year. UD finished the season with an incredible 32-4 mark, went undefeated in CAA play for the second consecutive year and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. The Hens finished atop the CBI Mid-Major Poll for the second straight season while receiving a No. 15 spot in the Associated Press Poll and a No. 16 spot in the USA Today/Coaches Poll.\nDelaware also recorded a school-record 27 straight victories, besting the team’s streak of 21 consecutive wins during the 2011-12 slate, and good for third nationally behind Baylor and Notre Dame. Dating to the 2010-11 season, UD has won 37 straight CAA regular season wins, a mark that is good for second nationally behind Baylor and the most in the league since Old Dominion won 95 consecutive contests from 1995 to 2001.\nThe Blue Hens earned a No. 6 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, where Delaware defeated No. 11 West Virginia, 66-53, before upsetting No. 3 North Carolina, 78-69, at a sold-out Bob Carpenter Center to advance to the Sweet 16. UD was unable to make a comeback against No. 2 Kentucky as the Hens ended their run with a 69-62 loss to the Wildcats in Bridgeport, Conn.\nThe 2011-12 Blue Hens collected a record-breaking year with a 31-2 record while going undefeated in CAA play and winning the first postseason game in school history.\nDelaware set a previous school record for wins in a season including a record 21 straight victories and claimed the first CAA Tournament title in UD history. The Hens earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and posted a 73-42 win over Arkansas Little Rock, the first postseason win by a men’s or women’s basketball team in school history. Delaware ended the year ranked No. 14 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll after climbing as high as No. 7 in early March.\nA native of nearby Wilmington, Del., the 6-1 Malcom enjoyed an outstanding high school career at Caravel Academy before arriving on the Delaware campus. She was a two-time All-State selection and was named the state’s Co-Player of the Year in 2001.\nMalcom was a four-year standout for the Hens under Martin, leading the squad to a four-year mark of 89-32, CAA regular season titles in 2003 and 2005 and three berths into the post-season WNIT. Delaware, which went 55-15 in conference action during Malcom’s career, appeared in the CAA Championship game in both 2003 and 2005.\nA two-time team captain, Malcom was a three-time All-CAA selection, earning second team honors in 2003 and 2004 before garnering first team recognition in 2005, when she was named CAA Player of the Year accolades. As the CAA Player of the Year, Malcom led the league in scoring with 15.5 points per game while ranking among conference leaders with 6.8 rebounds per contest.\nMalcom was just the third player in Delaware history to be named the conference player of the year. Additionally, she was named the University of Delaware’s Outstanding Senior Female Athlete of the Year for the 2004-05 season.\nA seven-time CAA Player of the Week, Malcom set school records for career free throws made (535) to lead the CAA at the time and now ranks second in school history and fifth in league history.\nMalcom is also is second in the Delaware record books for double-figure scoring games (88), sixth in games played (121), scoring (1,545 points) and blocks (109) and 11th in rebounding (794). She averaged 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game for her career.\nMalcom was a two-time CAA Dean Ehlers Award candidate for overall contributions on the court, classroom and community and overcame a partial hearing loss in both ears to star for the Blue Hens.\nFollowing her collegiate career, Malcom played professionally during the 2005-06 season in Barreiro, Portugal with the GD ESSA Basketball Club.\nMalcom was inducted into the University of Delaware Athletics Hall of Fame in November 2012 for her contributions.\nMalcom earned her bachelor’s degree in family and community services from Delaware in May 2005 while receiving a master’s degree in higher education administration from UD in May 2011.\n|High School:||Caravel Academy|", "char_count": 6088, "token_count": 1522, "k_exact": 3.2266, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9178, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "As of late, my 5 year old LG Flatron L1752S LCD monitor has been acting strangely. The screen flickers (most noticeable if you pay attention to text on any window) when I scroll down webpages or watch video. It's impossible to play games because of the constant black screens that plague my game-time and it takes longer than usual for the screen to return to full brightness after a full-screen app, such as Far Cry 3, has been closed. And once it has returned to normal, the colors look over-saturated and it really becomes hard for me to look at the screen after a while. Now, the first thing that came to my mind was that my GPU was at fault. I re-installed the driver to my AMD Radeon HD 5770, checked its temperature and fan speed at both idle and running states and found them all to be in perfect order. I also made sure of its cables, if they were firmly in place or not. I did the above with my Core 2 Quad and again, found nothing out of the ordinary.

Games run fine for the first 5 minutes, after which the black screens come and go erratically. While the screen stays black, sound, movement and everything else stay unaffected. After about 10 minutes, the black screen issue becomes frequent enough to force me to close whatever game I'm playing (Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution, Far Cry 3). Also, the black screens come at a lesser rate if I stay still or stare at the sky (this made me assume that my GPU is dying, but evidence says otherwise!). Bringing everything down to low and changing the resolution to 800X600 didn't help. [What I haven't done yet] I haven't tried a different monitor yet. I plan to do so in a few hours.

-{"text": "The breath of fresh air that was the Fiat 500 when in arrived in Canada won the hearts of quite a few people. During the 2012 calendar year, about 8,500 small-car shoppers chose the cheeky little Fiat.\nWell, that love affair didn’t last for very long. In 2015, Fiat 500 hatchback sales amounted to just under 3,000 units in Canada. For what can be considered a niche product, this isn’t unusual. Yet FCA is trying to keep the flame alive by cranking out various special-editions of its minicar, including this charming 1957 Edition.\nThe 1957 moniker obviously refers to the year the Cinquecento was introduced to the world, and this special-edition car is offered in a few pastel colours, including our tester’s Celeste Blu paint. The blue-painted alloy wheels have a chromed rim and centre cap, and they provide a nice retro touch to the car.\nThe interior is pretty chic, with brown leather seats, a cream dashboard and wheel, as well as a mix of both colours on the door panels. New for 2016 is a Uconnect 5.0 infotainment system, a huge improvement over the previous radio in the Fiat. Still, there are some hard plastic trim pieces spread about the cabin, and their fit is questionable in some areas. Nothing repulsive, though.\nSpace is more than adequate up front, but the fact that rear-seat occupants, whether they’re adults or children, won’t be very comfortable riding in back will be a surprise to no one. The hatchback’s 269-litre cargo area is a volume we expect from such a small car, although the split seatbacks can be folded down for extra space.\nThe 2016 Fiat 500 1957 Edition gets the base engine under the hood. That means a 1.4-litre four-cylinder lump that produces a modest 101 horsepower and 97 lb-ft of torque. With the five-speed manual, the car can move along at an acceptable pace, as it weighs in at a scant 2,366 lbs. However, the difference between the manual gearbox and the optional six-speed automatic is significant. The latter makes the little Fiat feel wheezy. If we’re hell-bent on a Cinquecento and need an automatic, maybe the 135-hp turbo engine is worth checking out.\nThe manual transmission also makes the Fiat more efficient by more than a litre per 100 km. Official ratings are 7.6/5.9 L/100 km city/highway, and we observed an average of 6.8 during our test.\nOn the complaints list are B-pillars which create blind spots, especially on the left side, and a hard-to-reach washer-fluid filler neck that requires a funnel to avoid spillage when topping it off. The 1957 Edition’s hefty $24,995 base price is off-putting, but then again, no Fiat 500 comes cheap, and that’s probably one of the reasons sales are in a downward spiral. The Cinquecento is above all an emotional choice in the small-car segment, but if we’re willing to spend that much, we’ll get a stylish and enjoyable little runabout.", "char_count": 2841, "token_count": 710, "k_exact": 2.4364, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8644, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "L.A. Chicano Mural History Documented Via San Bernardino | KCET\nL.A. Chicano Mural History Documented Via San Bernardino\nFresh with a Ph.D. in History from Harvard, Elliott Barkan came to the West Coast and saw a history rising.\nWith the meticulous care of a curious scholar, Barkan began taking photographs of the region as soon as he arrived to teach at Cal State San Bernardino in September of 1968.\n\"I was teaching in the field of early America, but becoming more aware of civil rights,\" he says, recalling showing films about conditions in urban America. After receiving a doctorate in early American history, he shifted focus to to contemporary American situations. It became, what he calls, \"a dual regime of very early America and very modern America.\" He taught those parallel courses for 38 years.\n\"My training in early America gave me a broader perspective for understanding earlier immigration,\" he said.\nHis passion for photographing urban enclaves came while he was a Manhattan cab driver. \"That prompted me to search out other communities in New York City, but especially in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, and Detroit.\"\nThen he found the murals. The history professor may not have completely known all the nuances of all the political subtext of his newly found subject; still, he began scouting for art from San Bernardino to Los Angeles, and as far north as the Bay Area. He knew that it was evidence of a culture's self-identity.\nAt first, there were no murals in the cities he visited, including the parts of Los Angeles he first toured. \"I became aware of the murals in East Los Angeles, and combined my urban photography with a focus on murals. The more I searched, the more dramatic were my findings,\" said the professor of his discovery of the source of California Chicano murals. He claims that this model of mural making was picked up from other communities, both non-Latinos and Latinos, and notably San Francisco.\nBarkan's photographs of the Chicano murals painted by the first wave of Los Angeles artists are now being exhibited at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art at Cal State San Bernardino through May 25.\nThe exhibit, titled \"Chicano Muralists in Southern California, 1968-1985: The First Generation of a Cultural Revolution -- Through the Camera of Elliott Robert Barkan,\" features photographed works from a litany of prominent muralists, including Judith Baca, Charles (Cat) Felix Jr., Gronk, Willie Herron and David Lopez.\nOperating from his academic post at Cal State San Bernardino, Barkan had the opportunity to capture a number of works located away from the urban core of Los Angeles. Many were eventually lost, some by artists that otherwise may never be documented.\nBarkan, now professor emeritus in history at Cal State San Bernardino, recently sent the originals and digital copies of the photographs to the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) to be archived.\n\"Every collection is significant in documenting and preserving the legacy of muralism in Los Angeles,\" said Pilar Castillo, Archivist at SPARC, citing the loss of public funds to commission new works, and muralists' difficulty in producing legal public works since 2002. \"A large percentage of historic L.A. murals have been destroyed, whitewashed and neglected into decay.\"\n\"Public art works these days survive at the mercy of a new generation, the shifting political landscape and the greater elements,\" Castillo continued. \"The only way to ensure the survival of these works beyond our personal memories is to amass collections such as Mr. Barkan's photo documentation,\" adds Castillo, who considers properly archived collections are a \"glimpse into a golden-era of our mural history.\"\nThe year is off to a productive start for Barkan, with two major projects coming into fruition in January. \"I just completed about fours years-plus designing and editing a four volume encyclopedia on U.S. immigration history,\" he said. \"It covers the years 1600-2010, with chapters by over 100 scholars. It's 2,000 pages, and over 1 million words.\"\nA reception for the exhibition will be held Feb. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the The Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art.\n\"Chicano Muralists in Southern California, 1968-1985: The first generation of a cultural revolution - through the camera of Elliot Robert Barkan\" runs from Jan. 26 - May 25, 2013.

-{"text": "eyes that see not\nBy Diogenes (articles ) | Oct 10, 2006\nTo one side of the altar, a white-robed choir; on the other, a half-dozen priests of various ranks, in white robes trimmed with green vestments.\nPerhaps Rod Davis, who wrote that line, recently arrived from the planet Zork. It's in the lead paragraph of his article in D Magazine on factionalism in Episcopalian Dallas. Davis's grasp of Christian churchmanship is, to put it gently, no stronger than it needs to be. He is able to see that Anglican conservatives are upset with Bishops Robinson and Schori, and once that fact is fed into the Journalism Generator the article pretty much writes itself, and misses just about everything that's interesting and important.\nAt most recent count, at least seven of the country's 111 Episcopal dioceses and about 150 of the 7,000 congregations want \"disassociation\" or \"alternative primatial oversight\" -- the debate is replete with esoteric canon law jargon -- in one form or another. Some, like the Dallas diocese, are exploring alignment directly with Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. Others, perhaps not convinced that Canterbury is conservative enough, may seek out Peter Akinola, archbishop of Nigeria, where there are definitely no gay bishops, but there are perhaps 20 million Anglicans. Even the irony of mostly white, conservative American suburban congregations looking to pastoral supervision from African bishops doesn't stand in the way.\nFor Davis, the last sentence is just a throwaway line. A more perceptive author would have seen it as providing a key to the controversy -- and not only to the controversy in the Episcopal Church, but to the startling change in self-understanding that the orthodox in all denominations have undergone in the past thirty years.\nA disaffected congregation splitting off from the main body is nothing new. What is new, and striking, is that these Anglicans are not huddling together for warmth with social and cultural counterparts who share their education, tastes, family connections and politics, but are aligning themselves with -- and even subordinating themselves to -- people of radically different background who believe the same essential truths to be paramount. Moreover, this remarkable venture into \"trans-cultural\" brotherhood is taking place not where we've been taught to expect it, viz., among polyglot, left-liberal cosmopolitans, but among those our betters assured us would be among the last to countenance it. Davis himself can see the sociology in broad outline, but entirely misses its ecclesial significance, as witness his account of the Christ Church parish in Plano:\nGiven its size, conservative demographics and evangelical bent, it's perhaps no surprise that this church should find itself at odds with its increasingly progressive -- or \"liberal,\" to use the pejorative term -- parent. Clearly, the people who worship here have mistaken their denominations. If not Southern Baptists by another name, surely they belong more to Joel Osteen or T.D. Jakes. This is a social church, where people come not only to worship, but also to find friends, to join groups, and to align with \"values.\"\nGot it exactly backwards. If you worship with people because they believe what you believe, strong friendships spontaneously emerge as a secondary side-effect. If you go to a church with the primary purpose of making friends, however, you have to compromise or downplay your beliefs in order to succeed. The fact that the hard core, broken-glass conservatives are connecting with Nigeria to find fellow Anglicans shows they belong overwhemingly to the former group, and cannot be linked to a \"social church\" without violence to the language.\nThe stock progressivist explanation of orthodox Christian teaching on sexuality and the sexes involves some variant of Adorno's vacuous \"fear of the other\" critique (the Anglican Communion Network crew, and Cardinal Medina-Estevez, can't accept Gene Robinson or Terese Kane because they've never been in a restaurant or on an airplane). When suburbanite Texans are willing to go to Africa to find kinship in doctrine, however, it shows that -- for some at least, faith is more important than familiarity. So who, in this reckoning, is genuinely \"conservative\"? Clearly the doctrinally orthodox are, by temperament, far more adventurous than their liberal co-religionists, who live and move and have their being in a world of seamless cultural comfort. Now that's an intriguing turnabout. It's a shame Rod Davis missed it.\nAll comments are moderated. To lighten our editing burden, only current donors are allowed to Sound Off.

Blood glucose control with insulin prevents hyperglycemia but is associated with an increased incidence of hypoglycemia and may not affect blood glucose variability. Implementation strategies of blood glucose control with insulin in critically ill patients have mainly used manually operated whole blood portable glucose meters. These meters are impracticable, possibly unsafe, and time– and blood–consuming. Utilization of subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring has the potential to improve the safety (i.e., prevention of hypoglycemia) and effectiveness (i.e., obtain a higher percent of values in the therapeutic range and less blood glucose variability) of insulin titration in critically ill patients. In addition, utilization of subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring devices is less time– and blood–consuming than the use of manually operated whole blood portable glucose meters. Medtronic has developed a subcutaneous continuous glucose–monitoring system especially for critically ill patients, called the Sentrino®.\n1. The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of subcutaneous CGM glucose measurements as compared with current standard of care blood glucose levels measurements;\n2. The secondary objective of this study is to train healthcare workers to use of the Medtronic Sentrino® system, and to obtain feedback from the users on the usability of the Medtronic Sentrino® system.\nThis study concerns an investigator–initiated observational implementation study in critically ill patients subjected to blood glucose control with insulin, aiming at a blood glucose level between 90 and 150 mg/dL.\nCritically ill patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICU) of the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.\nThe intervention exists of use of Sentrino®.\nMain study parameters/endpoints:\nThe main study parameter is the accuracy of subcutaneous CGM glucose measurements.\nNature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness:\nThe Sentrino® has been tested and validated in a number of pre–clinical and clinical studies in patients outside the intensive care unit (ICU), and has been found to be safe and accurate for trend. Potential benefits include reduced risk of hypoglycemia, and decreased glycemic variability. Burden and risks include local irritations, bleeding and infection at the site of the sensor.\n|- Main changes (audit trail)|\n|- RECORD||30-jan-2013 - 9-feb-2013|", "char_count": 5505, "token_count": 1376, "k_exact": 2.669, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8775, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "provide squash option when merging merge requests\nAdd a checkbox \"Squash into one commit\" below \"Merge\" button of a merge request. The default state of that checkbox should be configurable per instance and per project.\nThe UI would ask for a commit message (defaulting to branch name) and then execute the equivalent of 'git checkout other-branch; git merge --squash this-branch; git commit -m \"commit-message\", close the merge request and delete the branch (if the other checkbox is ticked).\nThis is a common workflow in projects and not supporting it causes a lot of confusion and extra work.\nContinued here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4106\nSanteri Vesalainen commented\nHopefully this gets to Community Edition, at least eventually.\nGithub has just announced similar feature https://github.com/blog/2141-squash-your-commits .\nInteresting comments, had to vote/subscribe.\nBruno Lorenço Lopes commented\nIt would be very nice to have this feature in the community edition!\nIonut DINU commented\nthis would be a grate feature\nDan Cech commented\n+1 on this, it would be great to avoid having a multitude development commits cluttering history in master while still being able to use the web UI to accept merge requests.\nIn that instance I think it is sensible to attribute the commit by default to the user who opened the merge request, but allow the person doing the merge to select a different user to attribute it to if desired.\nThe merge --squash option is used as the workflow in several companies I have worked for. This option would be perfect for an enterprise use of git where committing to the master branch should be a single commit per feature or issue. The developer branch will contain the history and incremental commits but once the code review is completed / merge request is finished all other developers care about is the final changes (not intermediate steps)\nTomáš Procházka commented\nI vote for this feature. On open source project is great if is possible to trace source of commits, especially if multiple peoples work on it. But in company is completely different situation. Author of the pull request is always one user, if reviewer want some changes it produce more useless commits in the origin branch. And result should be only one commit with desired feature.\n@GitLab: maybe this is not what you meant, but just to clarify: `git merge --squash` does not force push and does not touch the source branch: it only creates a new commit.\nAdminGitLab team (Admin, Gitlab) commented\nIn my opinion squashing also changes history, the sha1's and the ordering are now gone from the repo and put into some text. Anything that involves force pushes involves changing history, although I agree that squashing has less of an impact. ^Sytse\nThe question in my mind is: who would be the author of the new commit if the merge request has multiple authors. `merge --squash` just creates a new commit under the current author by default. We can of course make Gitlab chose an author smartly, maybe just chose the one who made the most commits, and if draw take the one who made the earliest commit.\n@Fabio: I believe they are not the same: rabase changes history, and this does not: it creates a single commit on top of the target that is the squash of all new commits.\nFabio Sobral commented\nAs noted by Maxime, this is similar to http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/4289653-rebase-merge-requests-in-the-web-ui.\nNot exactly the same thing, but kind of different ways to implement the same workflow.\nMaybe consider merging both suggestions? IDK how this works.\nSam Gleske commented\nThis would be more useful if GitLab tracked in a single merge-request multiple force push revisions. That is to say if the state of the MR has been changed you should be able to see the old state and the current state as well as N number of changed states. I would submit that as another feedback issue but I'm currently out of votes. Having that capability would compliment another feedback of mine nicely: http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/6306111-more-robust-code-diff-ing-in-mr\nAndrew Meyer commented\n@Gerard \"Once the commit has been pushed, the oppoortunity for squashing has been lost\" That's actually not true. After the code review is complete, you can squash + force push.\nGerard Stannard commented\nHaving to squash locally at the command line means we don't push small commits for immediate code review feedback. Once the commit has been pushed, the oppoortunity for squashing has been lost, so developers tend not to commit until they're ready to squash many small commits.\nJody Mulkey commented\nCurrently, merging using the GitLab UI results in all commits within the source branch being inserted into the history of the target branch. For a large feature or fix with lots of commits, this clutters the target branch with potentially extraneous commits. This clutter can make it difficult to cherry-pick features/bug fixes into and out of other branches (for releases, for example), and build clean release notes.\nThis can be worked around by doing manual command-line steps to merge the source into the target. It would be extremely convenient, however, to do this from the GitLab UI.\nErik Donohoo commented\nI can't stress how important this is. It would be magnificent to have this.\nRyan Shelley commented\nThis would be extremely useful as part of our GitFlow process to be able to create releases of individual features. More importantly, the ability to extract a problematic feature from a release (feature that wasn't completely tested or is buggy).

-{"text": "The major media's account of the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case was typical of the way the case has been misreported from the start. The New York Times headline read, \"Supreme Court Rejects Contraceptives Mandate for Some Corporations.\" Politico led with \"SCOTUS sides with Hobby Lobby on birth control.\" Others were similar.\nThat's not what the case was about, and you'd think that major news organizations might at least get the basic facts straight. The litigants -- the Green and Hahn families, owners of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties respectively -- did not have religious objections to contraception. They might have if they were Catholic, but they weren't, and they didn't.\nThe Hahns are Mennonites and the Greens Christians of no particular denomination. Both families provided coverage for contraceptives in their health plans. Hobby Lobby provided coverage for 18 different methods of birth control. What both the Greens and the Hahns objected to were the regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services that would have required them, on pain of severe fines, to cover four more methods, including the morning after pill, that the litigants (and not just they) consider abortifacients.\nNo matter how many times the press calls this a case about contraception, the truth is that it was about abortion. Neither family could, in conscience, be a party to paying for abortion.\nThe HHS regulations exempted some corporations from the regulations, including churches, some nonprofits and the \"exclusively religious activities of any religious order.\" Religion, the government essentially argued, was something that people do on Sunday mornings or in specifically religious organizations like Catholic Charities. But a for-profit corporation, the government argued, could not possibly \"exercise religion.\"\nYet, as Justice Samuel Alito argued for the majority, people do not lose their free exercise rights when they form for-profit organizations. \"A corporation is simply a form of organization used by human beings to achieve desired ends.\" And just because a corporation is organized to earn a profit doesn't mean that it cannot perform religious or other laudable, nonprofit maximizing goals. Corporations may \"take costly pollution-control and energy conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits.\"\nThere were good constitutional arguments for ruling that the HHS mandate violates the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. The Constitution itself showed deference to the religious objections of Quakers and Mennonites at the time of adoption to swearing oaths. The Constitution accordingly requires that officeholders \"swear or affirm\" their oath of office.\nBut the Supreme Court did not reach constitutional questions, because perfectly clear statutes, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, required the government to give the broadest possible scope to the free exercise of religion.\nRFRA forbids the government from \"substantially burdening\" a person's free exercise of religion, unless the burden is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of achieving that governmental interest.\nThat the Greens' and Hahns' free exercise was burdened was not in doubt. Hobby Lobby, for example, would have incurred fines of up to $475 million per year.\nThe government asserted that its mandates served important, if vague, public purposes, such as \"public health\" and \"gender equality.\" The government did not come close to proving that the mandate was the \"least restrictive\" alternative available.\nAt the heart of the government's case was an attempt to steamroll our varied and, yes, diverse nation into conformity on subjects that remain deeply divisive and keenly felt. Like the Affordable Care Act itself, which was railroaded through on a slender majority, the HHS regulations attempted to crush opposition even among the devout. Can you, in the name of \"public health\" or \"gender equality,\" strong-arm those with religious objections into acquiescing on abortion? RFRA threw a cloak of protection over religious expression in all its forms, and the Supreme Court, by one vote, upheld religious freedom.", "char_count": 4459, "token_count": 1114, "k_exact": 3.1251, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9487, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Thankfully some guys from NeoGAF are kind enough to at least share a few blurry photos.\nSaw these earlier, It looks great as far as I can see. It would be nice to see some in-game HD gameplay though.. Sure we'll see some closer to release.\nWhy didn't they use the Vita's screen grab feature to get photos of the game. It would have been proof since it comes up with Company Trademark/copyright logo. At least most of the screenshots do. It looks good and I can't wait. Its 2010 all over again, except its 4 (NFSMW X2 and both Assassin's Creeds) games and not just 2 (Need for speed:HP & Assassin's Creed Brotherhood).\nThe build probably doesn't have that feature, to protect it from leaks and such. Resistance Burning Skies doesn't support screenshots either.\nYeah but RBS blocked screenshots because the games look ugly and they knew it.\nWow ea wasn't wrong when they said this was a near perfect port. Found some other pics online and they look great.\nO.O And i thought ports were bad. Seriously if they did an extremely good job with a port and bring the full experience to a handheld i really don't see anything wrong with that. There are some people who prefer to play a game like this on the go rather than on a PS3 or a 360. Whats sad is that this game doesn't have cross buy it would be killer if it did. But you have to blame EA for that because it's their decision to make this title with cross buy. Anyways the game is looking great and i can't wait to see more of it. BTW why did Criterion skimp out on the 3DS version? I mean the 3DS has sold over 20 million consoles so i find it strange that they aren't developing this game for that platform.\nHas it defo been confirmed EA won't be making it a crossbuy? Reason I ask is, this game was brought up at gamescom as one of the future crossbuy releases and there are several articles saying EA are considering cross buy.\nSimply stunning!

I read an earlier article that the FPS was fluctuating a bit. Hope they fix that too. Can't wait to see the final product!\nDoes this game have cross buy? I hope so because if its as close to the ps3 version as they say then it's kinda pointless buying both.\nThat was taken from psvitaforums.com, not NeoGAF.

The wait time when changing cars seem to take longer than it takes for the the home console version.\nThis game looks really nice.. Vita is still a baby & its second wave of games will show more of what its capable of.. Launch titles looked good as they were but the power of it will get tapped into as time goes on.. The handheld is a great device & i really dont see why ppl are hesitant to buy it.. Sony should bundle every console w an 8 or 16GB card & drop the price by $50.. as well as permanently drop the price of memory cards by 50%.. That will no doubt make a huge difference in sales.. Them saying its coming nx year will make ppl wait longer I must say tho, if they redesign the vita & it looks more appealing, i will upgrade it.. just like i did with my 3ds to 3ds xl..\nI simply can't pass this up. Even though the screenshots are blurry, it looks fantastic. The 30th is a pretty crowded day of game releases for me. I plan on getting three games that day.

-{"text": "Both blunted osteocytic production of the Wnt inhibitor sclerostin (Scl) and increased T-cell production of the Wnt ligand Wnt10b contribute to the bone anabolic activity of intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH) treatment. However, the relative contribution of these mechanisms is unknown. In this study, we modeled the repressive effects of iPTH on Scl production in mice by treatment with a neutralizing anti-Scl antibody (Scl-Ab) to determine the contribution of T-cell–produced Wnt10b to the Scl-independent modalities of action of iPTH. We report that combined treatment with Scl-Ab and iPTH was more potent than either iPTH or Scl-Ab alone in increasing stromal cell production of OPG, osteoblastogenesis, osteoblast life span, bone turnover, bone mineral density, and trabecular bone volume and structure in mice with T cells capable of producing Wnt10b. In T-cell–null mice and mice lacking T-cell production of Wnt10b, combined treatment increased bone turnover significantly more than iPTH or Scl-Ab alone. However, in these mice, combined treatment with Scl-Ab and iPTH was equally effective as Scl-Ab alone in increasing the osteoblastic pool, bone volume, density, and structure. These findings demonstrate that the Scl-independent activity of iPTH on osteoblasts and bone mass is mediated by T-cell–produced Wnt10b. The data provide a proof of concept of a more potent therapeutic effect of combined treatment with iPTH and Scl-Ab than either alone. © 2014 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.\nPTH; BONE; SCL; ANTIBODY; T CELLS; WNT10B\nMultifrequency atomic force microscopy imaging has been recently demonstrated as a powerful technique for quickly obtaining information about the mechanical properties of a sample. Combining this development with recent gains in imaging speed through small cantilevers holds the promise of a convenient, high-speed method for obtaining nanoscale topography as well as mechanical properties. Nevertheless, instrument bandwidth limitations on cantilever excitation and readout have restricted the ability of multifrequency techniques to fully benefit from small cantilevers. We present an approach for cantilever excitation and deflection readout with a bandwidth of 20 MHz, enabling multifrequency techniques extended beyond 2 MHz for obtaining materials contrast in liquid and air, as well as soft imaging of delicate biological samples.\natomic force microscopy; multifrequency imaging; nanomechanical characterization; photothermal excitation; small cantilevers\nTropical forests are being rapidly altered by logging, and cleared for agriculture. Understanding the effects of these land use changes on soil fungi, which play vital roles in the soil ecosystem functioning and services, is a major conservation frontier. Using 454-pyrosequencing of the ITS1 region of extracted soil DNA, we compared communities of soil fungi between unlogged, once-logged, and twice-logged rainforest, and areas cleared for oil palm, in Sabah, Malaysia. Overall fungal community composition differed significantly between forest and oil palm plantation. The OTU richness and Chao 1 were higher in forest, compared to oil palm plantation. As a proportion of total reads, Basidiomycota were more abundant in forest soil, compared to oil palm plantation soil. The turnover of fungal OTUs across space, true β-diversity, was also higher in forest than oil palm plantation. Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal abundance was significantly different between land uses, with highest relative abundance (out of total fungal reads) observed in unlogged forest soil, lower abundance in logged forest, and lowest in oil palm. In their entirety, these results indicate a pervasive effect of conversion to oil palm on fungal community structure. Such wholesale changes in fungal communities might impact the long-term sustainability of oil palm agriculture. Logging also has more subtle long term effects, on relative abundance of EcM fungi, which might affect tree recruitment and nutrient cycling. However, in general the logged forest retains most of the diversity and community composition of unlogged forest.\nTropical forests are being rapidly altered by logging and cleared for agriculture. Understanding the effects of these land use changes on soil bacteria, which constitute a large proportion of total biodiversity and perform important ecosystem functions, is a major conservation frontier. Here we studied the effects of logging history and forest conversion to oil palm plantations in Sabah, Borneo, on the soil bacterial community. We used paired-end Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, V3 region, to compare the bacterial communities in primary, once-logged, and twice-logged forest and land converted to oil palm plantations. Bacteria were grouped into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at the 97% similarity level, and OTU richness and local-scale α-diversity showed no difference between the various forest types and oil palm plantations. Focusing on the turnover of bacteria across space, true β-diversity was higher in oil palm plantation soil than in forest soil, whereas community dissimilarity-based metrics of β-diversity were only marginally different between habitats, suggesting that at large scales, oil palm plantation soil could have higher overall γ-diversity than forest soil, driven by a slightly more heterogeneous community across space. Clearance of primary and logged forest for oil palm plantations did, however, significantly impact the composition of soil bacterial communities, reflecting in part the loss of some forest bacteria, whereas primary and logged forests did not differ in composition. Overall, our results suggest that the soil bacteria of tropical forest are to some extent resilient or resistant to logging but that the impacts of forest conversion to oil palm plantations are more severe.\nSince the invention of hybridoma technology, methods for generating affinity reagents that bind specific target molecules have revolutionized biology and medicine. In the postgenomic era, there is a pressing need to accelerate the pace of ligand discovery to elucidate the functions of a rapidly growing number of newly characterized molecules and their modified states. Nonimmunoglobulin-based proteins such as DARPins, affibodies, and monobodies represent attractive alternatives to traditional antibodies as these are small, soluble, disulfide-free, single-domain scaffolds that can be selected from combinatorial libraries and expressed in bacteria. For example, monobodies—highly stable scaffolds based on the immunoglobulin VH-like 10th fibronectin type III (10Fn3) domain of human fibronectin—have yielded antibody mimetics that bind to numerous targets for applications including intracellular inhibition,[5,6] therapeutics, and biosensors.[6,8] These 10Fn3-based ligands can be derived from highly diverse libraries using techniques such as phage, ribosome, mRNA, bacterial, and yeast displays.\nantibodies; directed evolution; mRNA; ligand design; selection methods\nModern high-speed atomic force microscopes generate significant quantities of data in a short amount of time. Each image in the sequence has to be processed quickly and accurately in order to obtain a true representation of the sample and its changes over time. This paper presents an automated, adaptive algorithm for the required processing of AFM images. The algorithm adaptively corrects for both common one-dimensional distortions as well as the most common two-dimensional distortions. This method uses an iterative thresholded processing algorithm for rapid and accurate separation of background and surface topography. This separation prevents artificial bias from topographic features and ensures the best possible coherence between the different images in a sequence. This method is equally applicable to all channels of AFM data, and can process images in seconds.\nadaptive algorithm; artifact correction; atomic force microscopy; high-speed atomic force microscope; image processing\nLittle is known of how archaeal diversity and community ecology behaves along elevational gradients. We chose to study Mount Fuji of Japan as a geologically and topographically uniform mountain system, with a wide range of elevational zones. PCR-amplified soil DNA for the archaeal 16 S rRNA gene was pyrosequenced and taxonomically classified against EzTaxon-e archaeal database. At a bootstrap cut-off of 80%, most of the archaeal sequences were classified into phylum Thaumarchaeota (96%) and Euryarchaeota (3.9%), with no sequences classified into other phyla. Archaeal OTU richness and diversity on Fuji showed a pronounced ‘peak’ in the mid-elevations, around 1500 masl, within the boreal forest zone, compared to the temperate forest zone below and the alpine fell-field and desert zones above. Diversity decreased towards higher elevations followed by a subtle increase at the summit, mainly due to an increase in the relative abundance of the group I.1b of Thaumarchaeota. Archaeal diversity showed a strong positive correlation with soil NH4+, K and NO3−. Archaeal diversity does not parallel plant diversity, although it does roughly parallel bacterial diversity. Ecological hypotheses to explain the mid diversity bulge on Fuji include intermediate disturbance effects, and the result of mid elevations combining a mosaic of upper and lower slope environments. Our findings show clearly that archaeal soil communities are highly responsive to soil environmental gradients, in terms of both their diversity and community composition. Distinct communities of archaea specific to each elevational zone suggest that many archaea may be quite finely niche-adapted within the range of soil environments. A further interesting finding is the presence of a mesophilic component of archaea at high altitudes on a mountain that is not volcanically active. This emphasizes the importance of microclimate – in this case solar heating of the black volcanic ash surface – for the ecology of soil archaea.\nThe development of new antiviral compounds active against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has surged in recent years. In order for these new compounds to be efficacious in humans, optimal dosage regimens for each compound must be elucidated. We have developed a novel in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic system, the BelloCell system, to identify optimal dosage regimens for anti-HCV compounds. In these experiments, genotype 1b HCV replicon-bearing cells (2209-23 cells) were inoculated onto carrier flakes in BelloCell bottles and treated with MK-4519, a serine protease inhibitor. Our dose-ranging studies illustrated that MK-4519 inhibited replicon replication in a dose-dependent manner, yielding a 50% effective concentration (EC50) of 1.8 nM. Dose-fractionation studies showed that shorter dosing intervals resulted in greater replicon suppression, indicating that the time that the concentration is greater than the EC50 is the pharmacodynamic parameter for MK-4519 linked with inhibition of replicon replication. Mutations associated with resistance to serine protease inhibitors were detected in replicons harvested from all treatment arms. These data suggest that MK-4519 is highly active against genotype 1b HCV, but monotherapy is not sufficient to prevent the amplification of resistant replicons. In summary, our findings show that the BelloCell system is a useful and clinically relevant tool for predicting optimal dosage regimens for anti-HCV compounds.\nBackground: Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct-writing technique with nanometer resolution, which has received strongly increasing attention within the last decade. In FEBID a precursor previously adsorbed on a substrate surface is dissociated in the focus of an electron beam. After 20 years of continuous development FEBID has reached a stage at which this technique is now particularly attractive for several areas in both, basic and applied research. The present topical review addresses selected examples that highlight this development in the areas of charge-transport regimes in nanogranular metals close to an insulator-to-metal transition, the use of these materials for strain- and magnetic-field sensing, and the prospect of extending FEBID to multicomponent systems, such as binary alloys and intermetallic compounds with cooperative ground states.\nResults: After a brief introduction to the technique, recent work concerning FEBID of Pt–Si alloys and (hard-magnetic) Co–Pt intermetallic compounds on the nanometer scale is reviewed. The growth process in the presence of two precursors, whose flux is independently controlled, is analyzed within a continuum model of FEBID that employs rate equations. Predictions are made for the tunability of the composition of the Co–Pt system by simply changing the dwell time of the electron beam during the writing process. The charge-transport regimes of nanogranular metals are reviewed next with a focus on recent theoretical advancements in the field. As a case study the transport properties of Pt–C nanogranular FEBID structures are discussed. It is shown that by means of a post-growth electron-irradiation treatment the electronic intergrain-coupling strength can be continuously tuned over a wide range. This provides unique access to the transport properties of this material close to the insulator-to-metal transition. In the last part of the review, recent developments in mechanical strain-sensing and the detection of small, inhomogeneous magnetic fields by employing nanogranular FEBID structures are highlighted.\nConclusion: FEBID has now reached a state of maturity that allows a shift of the focus towards the development of new application fields, be it in basic research or applied. This is shown for selected examples in the present review. At the same time, when seen from a broader perspective, FEBID still has to live up to the original idea of providing a tool for electron-controlled chemistry on the nanometer scale. This has to be understood in the sense that, by providing a suitable environment during the FEBID process, the outcome of the electron-induced reactions can be steered in a controlled way towards yielding the desired composition of the products. The development of a FEBID-specialized surface chemistry is mostly still in its infancy. Next to application development, it is this aspect that will likely be a guiding light for the future development of the field of focused electron beam induced deposition.\natomic force microscopy; binary systems; electron beam induced deposition; granular metals; micro Hall magnetometry; radiation-induced nanostructures; strain sensing\nIntravenous zanamivir is recommended for the treatment of hospitalized patients with complicated oseltamivir-resistant influenza virus infections. In a companion paper, we show that the time above the 50% effective concentration (time>EC50) is the pharmacodynamic (PD) index predicting the inhibition of viral replication by intravenous zanamivir. However, for other neuraminidase inhibitors, the ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve to the EC50 (AUC/EC50) is the most predictive index. Our objectives are (i) to explain the dynamically linked variable of intravenous zanamivir by using different half-lives and (ii) to develop a new, mechanism-based population pharmacokinetic (PK)/PD model for the time course of viral load. We conducted dose fractionation studies in the hollow-fiber infection model (HFIM) system with zanamivir against an oseltamivir-resistant influenza virus. A clinical 2.5-h half-life and an artificially prolonged 8-h half-life were simulated for zanamivir. The values for the AUC from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24) of zanamivir were equivalent for the two half-lives. Viral loads and zanamivir pharmacokinetics were comodeled using data from the present study and a previous dose range experiment via population PK/PD modeling in S-ADAPT. Dosing every 8 h (Q8h) suppressed the viral load better than dosing Q12h or Q24h at the 2.5-h half-life, whereas all regimens suppressed viral growth similarly at the 8-h half-life. The model provided unbiased and precise individual (Bayesian) (r2, >0.96) and population (pre-Bayesian) (r2, >0.87) fits for log10 viral load. Zanamivir inhibited viral release (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50], 0.0168 mg/liter; maximum extent of inhibition, 0.990). We identified AUC/EC50 as the pharmacodynamic index for zanamivir at the 8-h half-life, whereas time>EC50 best predicted viral suppression at the 2.5-h half-life, since the trough concentrations approached the IC50 for the 2.5-h but not for the 8-h half-life. The model explained data at both half-lives and holds promise for optimizing clinical zanamivir dosage regimens.\nIn 2009, a novel H1N1 influenza A virus emerged and spread worldwide, initiating a pandemic. Various isolates obtained from disparate parts of the world were shown to be uniformly resistant to the adamantanes but sensitive to the neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir. Over time, resistance to oseltamivir became more prevalent among pandemic H1N1 virus isolates, while most remained susceptible to zanamivir. The government has proposed the use of intravenous (i.v.) zanamivir to treat serious influenza virus infections among hospitalized patients. To use zanamivir effectively for patients with severe influenza, it is necessary to know the optimal dose and schedule of administration of zanamivir that will inhibit the replication of oseltamivir-sensitive and -resistant influenza viruses. Therefore, we performed studies using the in vitro hollow-fiber infection model system to predict optimal dosing regimens for zanamivir against an oseltamivir-sensitive and an oseltamivir-resistant virus. Our results demonstrated that zanamivir, at a dose of 600 mg given twice a day (Q12h), inhibited the replication of oseltamivir-sensitive and oseltamivir-resistant influenza viruses throughout the course of the experiment. Thus, our findings suggest that intravenous zanamivir, at a dose of 600 mg Q12h, could be used to treat hospitalized patients suffering from serious infections with oseltamivir-sensitive or -resistant influenza viruses.\nIn this study, we pilot tested an in vitro assay of cancer killing activity (CKA) in circulating leukocytes of 22 cancer cases and 25 healthy controls.\nUsing a human cervical cancer cell line, HeLa, as target cells, we compared the CKA in circulating leukocytes, as effector cells, of cancer cases and controls. The CKA was normalized as percentages of total target cells during selected periods of incubation time and at selected effector/target cell ratios in comparison to no-effector-cell controls.\nOur results showed that CKA similar to that of our previous study of SR/CR mice was present in human circulating leukocytes but at profoundly different levels in individuals. Overall, males have a significantly higher CKA than females. The CKA levels in cancer cases were lower than that in healthy controls (mean ± SD: 36.97 ± 21.39 vs. 46.28 ± 27.22). Below-median CKA was significantly associated with case status (odds ratio = 4.36; 95% Confidence Interval = 1.06, 17.88) after adjustment of gender and race.\nIn freshly isolated human leukocytes, we were able to detect an apparent CKA in a similar manner to that of cancer-resistant SR/CR mice. The finding of CKA at lower levels in cancer patients suggests the possibility that it may be of a consequence of genetic, physiological, or pathological conditions, pending future studies with larger sample size.\nIt has been proposed that elements of the renin angiotensin system expressed in the arterial wall are critical for the development of atherosclerosis. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is highly expressed by the endothelium and is responsible for a critical enzymatic step in the generation of angiotensin II. However, the functional contribution of ACE expression in the vascular wall in atherogenesis is unknown. Therefore, we made use of unique genetic models in which mice without expression of ACE in the vascular wall were crossed with apoE-/- mice in order to determine the contribution of tissue ACE expression to atherosclerotic lesion formation.\nMethods and Results\nMice expressing either a soluble form of ACE (ACE 2/2) or mice with somatic ACE expression restricted to the liver and kidney (ACE 3/3) on an ApoE-/- background were placed on a standard chow or Western diet for 6 months. Atherosclerotic lesion area in the ACE 2/2 mice was significantly lower than that seen in the ACE 3/3 mice. However, these animals also had significantly lower blood pressure and reduced plasma ACE activity which precluded establishing a specific causal relationship between absent tissue ACE activity and decreased atherosclerotic lesion extent. Therefore, we studied the ACE 3/3 mice which are normotensive and lack vascular ACE expression. In the ACE 3/3 animals, atherosclerotic lesion area was no different from wild type controls despite reduced plasma ACE activity.\nWe concluded that under these experimental conditions, expression of ACE in the arterial wall is not required for atherosclerotic lesion formation.\nangiotensin; atherosclerosis; endothelium\nWe report the first use of ultrasonic standing waves to achieve cell cycle phase synchronization in mammalian cells in a high-throughput and reagent-free manner. The acoustophoretic cell synchronization (ACS) device utilizes volume-dependent acoustic radiation force within a microchannel to selectively purify target cells of desired phase from an asynchronous mixture based on cell cycle-dependent fluctuations in size. We show that ultrasonic separation allows for gentle, scalable and label-free synchronization with high G1 phase synchrony (~84%) and throughput (3×106 cells/hour/microchannel).\nSample preparation is often the most tedious and demanding step in an assay, but it also plays an essential role in determining the quality of results. As biological questions and analytical methods become increasingly sophisticated, there is a rapidly growing need for systems that can reliably and reproducibly separate cells and particles with high purity, throughput and recovery. Microfluidics technology represents a compelling approach in this regard, allowing precise control of separation forces for high performance separation in inexpensive, or even disposable, devices. In addition, microfluidics technology enables the fabrication of arrayed and integrated systems that operate either in parallel or in tandem, in a capacity that would be difficult to achieve in macro-scale systems. In this report, we use recent examples from our work to illustrate the potential of microfluidic cell- and particle-sorting devices. We demonstrate the potential of chip-based high-gradient magnetophoresis that enable high-purity separation through reversible trapping of target particles paired with high-stringency washing with minimal loss. We also describe our work in the development of devices that perform simultaneous multi-target sorting, either through precise control of magnetic and fluidic forces or through the integration of multiple actuation forces into a single monolithic device. We believe that such devices may serve as a powerful “front-end” module of highly integrated analytical platforms capable of providing actionable diagnostic information directly from crude, unprocessed samples - the success of such systems may hold the key to advancing point-of-care diagnostics and personalized medicine.\nSample preparation; Cell sorting; Magnetophoresis; Microfluidics\nHyperparathyroidism in humans and continuous parathyroid hormone (cPTH) treatment in mice cause bone loss by regulating the production of RANKL and OPG by stromal cells (SCs) and osteoblasts (OBs). Recently, it has been reported that T cells are required for cPTH to induce bone loss as the binding of the T cell costimulatory molecule CD40L to SC receptor CD40 augments SC sensitivity to cPTH. However it is unknown whether direct PTH stimulation of T cells is required for cPTH to induce bone loss, and whether T cells contribute to the bone catabolic activity of PTH with mechanisms other than induction of CD40 signaling in SCs.\nHere we show that silencing of PTH receptor 1 (PPR) in T cells blocks the bone loss and the osteoclastic expansion induced by cPTH, thus demonstrating that PPR signaling in T cells is central for PTH-induced reduction of bone mass. Mechanistic studies revealed that PTH activation of the T cell PPR stimulates T cell production of the osteoclastogenic cytokine tumor necrosis factor α (TNF). Attesting to the relevance of this effect, disruption of T cell TNF production prevents PTH-induced bone loss. We also show that a novel mechanism by which TNF mediates PTH induced osteoclast formation is upregulation of CD40 expression in SCs, which increases their RANKL/OPG production ratio.\nThese findings demonstrate that PPR signaling in T cells plays an essential role in PTH induced bone loss by promoting T cell production of TNF. A previously unknown effect of TNF is to increase SC expression of CD40, which in turn increases SC osteoclastogenic activity by upregulating their RANKL/OPG production ratio. PPR-dependent stimulation of TNF production by T cells and the resulting TNF regulation of CD40 signaling in SCs are potential new therapeutic targets for the bone loss of hyperparathyroidism.\nSpontaneous regression/complete resistance (SR/CR) mice are a unique colony of mice that possess an inheritable, natural cancer resistance mediated primarily by innate cellular immunity. This resistance is effective against sarcoma 180 (S180) at exceptionally high doses and these mice remain healthy.\nIn this study, we challenged SR/CR mice with additional lethal transplantable mouse cancer cell lines to determine their resistance spectrum. The ability of these transplantable cancer cell lines to induce leukocyte infiltration was quantified and the percentage of different populations of responding immune cells was determined using flow cytometry.\nIn comparison to wild type (WT) mice, SR/CR mice showed significantly higher resistance to all cancer cell lines tested. However, SR/CR mice were more sensitive to MethA sarcoma (MethA), B16 melanoma (B16), LL/2 lung carcinoma (LL/2) and J774 lymphoma (J774) than to sarcoma 180 (S180) and EL-4 lymphoma (EL-4). Further mechanistic studies revealed that this lower resistance to MethA and LL/2 was due to the inability of these cancer cells to attract SR/CR leukocytes, leading to tumor cell escape from resistance mechanism. This escape mechanism was overcome by co-injection with S180, which could attract SR/CR leukocytes allowing the mice to resist higher doses of MethA and LL/2. S180-induced cell-free ascites fluid (CFAF) co-injection recapitulated the results obtained with live S180 cells, suggesting that this chemoattraction by cancer cells is mediated by diffusible molecules. We also tested for the first time whether SR/CR mice were able to resist additional cancer cell lines prior to S180 exposure. We found that SR/CR mice had an innate resistance against EL-4 and J774.\nOur results suggest that the cancer resistance in SR/CR mice is based on at least two separate processes: leukocyte migration/infiltration to the site of cancer cells and recognition of common surface properties on cancer cells. The infiltration of SR/CR leukocytes was based on both the innate ability of leukocytes to respond to chemotactic signals produced by cancer cells and on whether cancer cells produced these chemotactic signals. We found that some cancer cells could escape from SR/CR resistance because they did not induce infiltration of SR/CR leukocytes. However, if infiltration of leukocytes was induced by co-injection with chemotactic factors, these same cancer cells could be effectively recognized and killed by SR/CR leukocytes.\nSpontaneous Regression/Complete Resistant (SR/CR) mice are a colony of cancer-resistant mice that can detect and rapidly destroy malignant cells with innate cellular immunity, predominately mediated by granulocytes. Our previous studies suggest that several effector mechanisms, such as perforin, granzymes, or complements, may be involved in the killing of cancer cells. However, none of these effector mechanisms is known as critical for granulocytes. Additionally, it is unclear which effector mechanisms are required for the cancer killing activity of specific leukocyte populations and the survival of SR/CR mice against the challenges of lethal cancer cells. We hypothesized that if any of these effector mechanisms was required for the resistance to cancer cells, its functional knockout in SR/CR mice should render them sensitive to cancer challenges. This was tested by cross breeding SR/CR mice into the individual genetic knockout backgrounds of perforin (Prf-/-), superoxide (Cybb-/), or inducible nitric oxide (Nos2-/).\nSR/CR mice were bred into individual Prf-/-, Cybb-/-, or Nos2-/- genetic backgrounds and then challenged with sarcoma 180 (S180). Their overall survival was compared to controls. The cancer killing efficiency of purified populations of macrophages and neutrophils from these immunodeficient mice was also examined.\nWhen these genetically engineered mice were challenged with cancer cells, the knockout backgrounds of Prf-/-, Cybb-/-, or Nos2-/- did not completely abolish the SR/CR cancer resistant phenotype. However, the Nos2-/- background did appear to weaken the resistance. Incidentally, it was also observed that the male mice in these immunocompromised backgrounds tended to be less cancer-resistant than SR/CR controls.\nDespite the previously known roles of perforin, superoxide or nitric oxide in the effector mechanisms of innate immune responses, these effector mechanisms were not required for cancer-resistance in SR/CR mice. The resistance was functional when any one of these effector mechanisms was completely absent, except some noticeably reduced penetrance, but not abolishment, of the phenotype in the male background in comparison to female background. These results also indicate that some other effector mechanism(s) of granulocytes may be involved in the killing of cancer cells in SR/CR mice.\nBoth phenotypic plasticity and genetic determination can be important for understanding how plants respond to environmental change. However, little is known about the plastic response of leaf teeth and leaf dissection to temperature. This gap is critical because these leaf traits are commonly used to reconstruct paleoclimate from fossils, and such studies tacitly assume that traits measured from fossils reflect the environment at the time of their deposition, even during periods of rapid climate change. We measured leaf size and shape in Acer rubrum derived from four seed sources with a broad temperature range and grown for two years in two gardens with contrasting climates (Rhode Island and Florida). Leaves in the Rhode Island garden have more teeth and are more highly dissected than leaves in Florida from the same seed source. Plasticity in these variables accounts for at least 6–19 % of the total variance, while genetic differences among ecotypes probably account for at most 69–87 %. This study highlights the role of phenotypic plasticity in leaf-climate relationships. We suggest that variables related to tooth count and leaf dissection in A. rubrum can respond quickly to climate change, which increases confidence in paleoclimate methods that use these variables.\nSpontaneous Regression/Complete Resistant (SR/CR) mice are resistant to cancer through a mechanism that is mediated entirely by leukocytes of innate immunity. Transfer of leukocytes from SR/CR mice can confer cancer resistance in wild-type (WT) recipients in both preventative and therapeutic settings. In the current studies, we investigated factors that may impact the efficacy and functionality of SR/CR donor leukocytes in recipients.\nIn sex-mismatched transfers, functionality of female donor leukocytes was not affected in male recipients. In contrast, male donor leukocytes were greatly affected in the female recipients. In MHC-mismatches, recipients of different MHC backgrounds, or mice of different strains, showed a greater negative impact on donor leukocytes than sex-mismatches. The negative effects of sex-mismatch and MHC-mismatch on donor leukocytes were additive. Old donor leukocytes performed worse than young donor leukocytes in all settings including in young recipients. Young recipients were not able to revive the declining function of old donor leukocytes. However, the function of young donor leukocytes declined gradually in old recipients, suggesting that an aged environment may contain factors that are deleterious to cellular functions. The irradiation of donor leukocytes prior to transfers had a profound suppressive effect on donor leukocyte functions, possibly as a result of impaired transcription. The cryopreserving of donor leukocytes in liquid nitrogen had no apparent effect on donor leukocyte functions, except for a small loss of cell number after revival from freezing.\nDespite the functional suppression of donor leukocytes in sex- and MHC-mismatched recipients, as well as old recipients, there was a therapeutic time period during the initial few weeks during which donor leukocytes were functional before their eventual rejection or functional decline. The eventual rejection of donor leukocytes will likely prevent donor leukocyte engraftment which would help minimize the risk of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease. Therefore, using leukocytes from healthy donors with high anti-cancer activity may be a feasible therapeutic concept for treating malignant diseases.\nA national survey of medical school admissions administrators was used to assess the acceptability of applicants' qualifications that included degrees earned partly online, partly in a community college, or in a traditional program. A questionnaire was sent from The Florida State University in 2007 to admissions administrators in the 125 accredited allopathic medical schools in the United States. In each of three situations, the respondents were asked to select one of two hypothetical applicants to invite for an interview. The applicants with their coursework taken in a traditional-residential setting were overwhelmingly preferred over the applicant holding the degree earned partly online. Further analysis indicated that online courses were perceived as not presenting sufficient opportunity for students to develop important social skills through interaction with other students and mentors.\nGraduate school admissions; online degrees; acceptability", "char_count": 34833, "token_count": 8708, "k_exact": 4.2328, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.7392, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Charlie's Big Betposted by Scott Engler\nEleven of the nation's elite senior prospects who are still shopping will be on hand Saturday. So will 11 of Notre Dame's 15 committed recruits. And there will be 19 of the nation's top juniors in attendance.Irish Sports Daily reports that some of the top recruits in the country including Seantrel Henderson, Josh Shaw, Louis Nix, Chris Martin and surprise visitor all-world wide receiver and USC commit Kyle Prater will be on campus this weekend. If Charlie can pull it off, he'll likely pull off a top 5 class as well.\nGo big or go home.\nWherever the chips fall, you can't fault Weis for shying away from a big game, he's embracing it. And it's just possible his team may make the jump from being able to win to expecting to win. Weis believes that the mindset is changing as he noted in his press conference.\nOnce again, I'm going reiterate it, I mean, they understand the talent level who they're going against, but I'd say, you know, this is probably the first time since I've been here where the players really believe they're going to win. You know, they might be in the minority but they certainly believe that.While not an absolute must win game for Weis, it's become very important for him to prove he can get more out of his players than the sum of the parts and in the minds of many, this is the game to prove that. A blowout loss to SC might be the end of Charlie's run in South Bend. Weis has to prove he has that leadership intangible or at least that he can nurture it in his team.\nThe problem for Notre Dame is that while the Irish have looked very good on offense to this point, they haven't played one top defense in five games and USC is a top five defense that HAS owned the Irish. Notre Dame hasn't scored a touchdown against USC since 2006.\nOn the other side of the ball, USC has been gashing teams with the run and, unfortunately, teams have have been gashing ND with the run. Before the year started it was easy to see that USC's offensive line against our defensive line would be a mismatch and negate ND's clearest advantage, at quarterback. If SC is running the ball for 5 and 6 yards a carry, Matt Barkley won't be forced into tough decisions.\nThis game will likely be decided, as most games are, up front and on turnovers. If ND's line can protect Clausen, ND can be successful through the air which could open up the ground game. USC's linebackers are so fast, that slow developing plays will be eaten alive, so I hope Charlie's tabled trickery that could go backward. Oregon State beat USC by hitting them up the gut.\nDefense wins big games and right now Notre Dame's defense is woeful. To win this game, ND's defensive line will have to play at a completely different level than it has the first five games. The offense doesn't have to make a ton of big plays, more than it has to not make big mistakes and be efficient. Turnovers against the Irish will end this early.\nIt's been said about other games, but this is Charlie's biggest game. I haven't written very much this season, because I haven't been able to tell very much about this Irish team the first five games.\nEveryone's willing to give Charlie a shot, but in year five with a talented team, it's time to either become great or step aside and Weis has made a very big, possibly career making/ending bet on this game.\nHere's how I see it:\n- Win and the Irish have a very good shot at the BCS and another top five recruiting class.\n- Lose a close one and we're back in purgatory.\n- Lose big and the Gruden, Saban, Meyer, Kelly talk heats up again, recruits drop off and Weis could end up in a death spiral.\nAnd after more than a few notes from Irish supports, the cover of my book has changed from Trojan colors to a more palatable gold and green.

You start off with your sheep scattered throughout different parts of the screen. Each time you touch on the screen will represent you barking at the sheep to try to get it to go where you want it to go. Sheep will try to run away from the bark, so you will need to use this to guide them all the way into the pen. As you go further along in the game, things will start getting more complex, as there will be obstacles that will either distract your sheep or put them in peril such as water, harvesters, and more.\nThe game also features full 3D graphics and a score board where you can see your best times compared to other players around the world.

-{"text": "Is your Champagne flute ready for Valentine’s Day? If, like many others, you plan to celebrate with this bubbly celebratory drink, you should know that it may not be vegan.\nBon Appetit explains that the base for Champagne is typically a dry wine made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, or a blend. Many wines, including Champagnes, go through a process that uses fining agents to clarify their product. These fining agents can include:\n- isinglass (swim bladders of fish)\n- gelatin (animal protein from the skin and connective tissue of pigs and cows)\n- carmine (the bodies of dried cochineal beetles)\n- casein (a protein derived from milk)\n- chitosan (made from crustaceans)\n- egg albumen (egg whites)\nSome champagnes also use sugar in their recipes, and many times this is refined using bone char.\nFinding out whether or not Champagne is vegan simply by looking at the bottle is usually not reliable. Typically the bottle will not be labeled vegan, nor will it state clearly which fining agents are used. The good news is there are vegan Champagnes out there! Some popular Champagnes, including Chandon and Dom Perignon are said to be vegan. The website Barnivore is an excellent source to help look up specific champagnes like these, though you should be sure to read the comments from the company (and other commenters) about each product to verify the claim. (Keep in mind that Barnivore does not discriminate between vegan and non-vegan sugar.)\nUPDATE: After looking more closely into this issue, we have since decided that we cannot confirm the vegan status of any particular champagnes.\nChampagnes that might be vegan:\nDomaine Ste. Michelle (Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, Brut, Extra Dry and Luxe)\nChampagnes that are NOT vegan:\nKorbel Natural Champagne (made with sugar refined using bone char, and possibly gelatin)\nFreixenet Sparkling Wines\nGloria Ferrer Sparkling Wine\nHarmony Wynelands Wedding Champagne\nKorbel Brut and Extra Dry\nLouis Roederer Champagne\nYellowglen Pink Champagne\nIf you have a favorite Champagne, the best way to find out if it is vegan or not is to contact the company directly and ask them: “Is your Champagne vegan? Do you use fining agents? What about refined sugar?”\nIf you opt for a different type of drink on Valentine’s Day, there are a number that are vegan, including Grey Goose, Absolut, and Don Julio Tequila.

A DNA sample was taken from the bone sample and put into the nationwide missing persons DNA database.\nIn addition to the DNA sample, police said there were indications that the murdered man was in the military because of his physical description and two tattoos: one with “a bird in flight with a heart in the background and the other being a bulldog wearing a World War I helmet with (the) letters ‘USMC’ printed below it.”\nAs such, a plea for help in the case was put out to the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service Cold Case Unit the U.S. Marine Corps Absentee Collection Unit, the police said.\nIn May, the DNA was “positively identified” as Corriveau’s.\nPolice said when Corriveau disappeared, he was a patient at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital being treated “for a combat related condition,” possibly the same condition that he also received treatment for at the Chelsea Naval Hospital in Chelsea, Mass.\nHe was discovered missing from the Philadelphia Naval Hospital 7:50 a.m. the day he was discovered dead on the turnpike, Nov. 18.\nCorriveau, originally from Lawrence, Mass., enlisted in the Marines in March 1965 and served several tours in Vietnam.\nThe state police are looking for information from anyone who may have served with Corriveau, as well as anyone who may have been staff or patients at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital in October and November in 1968.\nThose with information are asked to contact the state police at 610-268-5158 or email RA-1968MarineDeath@pa.gov.\nAnyone with a tip in the Corriveau case or any other “serious crime or wanted person” can call the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS or visit the website at www.PACrimeStoppers.org\nA reward may be available for tips made.", "char_count": 2847, "token_count": 711, "k_exact": 3.4491, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9013, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

This is a book however that I've spent some time looking through and admittedly have been tempted to buy (mostly due to the hype surrounding it) but every time I move the pages from cover to cover I have the realization that I'm looking at crap and therefore -- when my brain starts working again -- I put it back on the shelf and step away. This has happened a few times and each time I feel the pull of hype and I am able to repel it thankfully even with the sticker on the new edition touting its greatness.\nThe book I'm speaking of is called Empty Bottles by Wassink Lundgren and it won the Contemporary Book Award for 2007 at the Rencontres d'Arles photo festival in France.\nLet me proceed by asking a question. How many photographers does it take to make mediocre photographs of Chinese people picking up empty plastic bottles? In this case it would be two. The photographic duo of Wassink and Lundgren have worked on many books together and Empty Bottles is the latest. Yes, that is right, this is a collaborative effort between two people. Stunning collaboration gentlemen. My question is are there two brains at work here?\nThe first printing of 750 copies sold out quickly after the hype at Arles with a copy now fetching over $400 on the Photoeye auction website. Hundreds of copies were available at the first annual New York photo festival which featured an exhibition of his work curated by none other than Martin Parr.\nNow if you've noticed in the past here at 5B4 Photography and Books I do not particularly enjoy negatively reviewing books. Who would? I don't have axes to grind and I want to share work that excites me in a finely crafted book. In this case, what kept me picking up the book was the design and presentation and had absolutely nothing to do with what I realized was incredibly boring photography. Has photography turned down such a blind alley to where this is an example of something that we are holding up for higher consideration?\nArles or no Arles...don't believe the hype. I hope there is a day when we come to our senses and realize that there is much more to be offered and much more to get excited about.

-{"text": "Yankees prove they have learned lesson by letting Robinson Cano walk\nThe average New York Yankees fan is not going to be pleased that Robinson Cano is not in pinstripes when the 2014 MLB season begins. Those who understand the game of baseball can rest assured that some of the best deals a team makes are the ones it doesn’t make.\nCano reportedly agreed to a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Seattle Mariners on Friday. The Mariners will likely make up most of that money in merchandise and ticket sales, but they are going to regret the contract from a baseball standpoint. No team was going to land Cano without paying an absurd amount of money, but massive contracts like the one Cano signed have gotten the Yankees into trouble recently.\nLook no further than Alex Rodriguez, who signed a 10-year, $275 million deal with New York back in 2007. A-Rod was 32 at the time. Cano is 31. The deals are fairly similar, and now the Yankees are left praying Rodriguez is suspended for a significant amount of time so they can be relieved of some of the financial burden.\nTo give you some perspective, the Boston Red Sox signed 30-year-old Dustin Pedroia to an eight-year, $110 million extension back in July. Is Pedroia the same type of power hitter as Cano? Hardly, but he is the heart and soul of the Red Sox and a former American League MVP. He’s also better than Cano defensively. Somehow, a team felt that Cano is worth $130 million more than Pedroia.\nHow about Albert Pujols? He signed an identical contract to Cano’s with the Los Angeles Angels just before his 32nd birthday. While there is plenty of time for Pujols to revert to his old form, he has already battled significant injuries and is undoubtedly making the organization panic about his contract. I’m sure he has several quality seasons left, but there is no way Pujols will hold up over the length of his 10-year deal.\nThe thing that really seems to be irritating Yankees fans is the fact that their team just signed Jacoby Ellsbury to a seven-year, $153 million deal before letting Cano walk. New York probably overpaid for Ellsbury, but you can’t sign top free agents without overpaying in this era. Signing Ellsbury to a seven-year deal has nothing to do with passing on Cano.\nFans may not realize it now, but the Yankees made the right decision. There is always going to be a desperate team out there, and the Mariners proved to be that team. New York did the right thing.

Some people might be scratching their heads and questioning why this is sound money advice.\nFirst of all, gold has outperformed other investments year over year. People that were invested in gold did not get creamed during the stock market dip. No, they profited. Gold continues its upward trend, and I'm still buying. Gold is a historical safe-haven during times of crisis. People who have gold and gold investments can hang onto their savings when their currency falls flat - something that I am predicting will happen to the U.S. Dollar and U.S. Government Bond market. While dollars go down in value, gold goes up.\nAs for corn and wheat... people need to eat. They don't need plasma TV's or that little kitchen gadget that helps you stir peanut butter without making a mess. The population in India and especially China are growing faster than their food supply can handle. What does this mean? American farmers will thrive because the demand of agriculture products will continue to escalate. Prices on corn and wheat will rise, and investments in those areas will flourish. Agriculture commodities are dirt cheap right now, so get them while they are still on sale.\nI also like white by the way... specifically silver and sugar. I really love silver right now.

Remaining tickets may be at the box office one hour before performance ($2 more per ticket). Student, military and senior discounts available for specific performances. The Good Witch, Bad Witch Ladies Night Out Fundraiser is 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 4, at Baldwin Theatre. Advance tickets are $30, available at Stagecrafters.org or at 248-541-6430. Patrons attending opening night Friday, June 6, may attend 7 p.m. pre-glow for hors d’oeuvres and beverages hosted by Blackfinn Ameripub of Royal Oak.\nIf you though the movie was spectacular, just imagine staging “The Wizard of Oz” live on stage.\n“Technically, it’s one of the harder shows ever, with the set pieces and the flying, but it’s exciting,” says Randall Wrisinger of Royal Oak, who directing the musical for Stagecrafters at Baldwin Theatre in Royal Oak. He has been directing theater for more than 25 years — the last seven in Michigan — and previously directed “The Sound of Music,” a youth theater production of “Cinderella” and Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” for Stagecrafters\nHe auditioned 100 youths for this show, casting 15 children ages 8-18 and and 35 adults, plus a dog.\n“I was very lucky — a member of our cast had a neighbor with a rescued Cairn terrier that looked just like Toto,” Wrisinger said. “His real name is Jo-Jo — they work with him, and he and Dorothy have quite a relationship becaase she’s with him all the time.”\nWrisinger’s Dorothy is 15-year-old Gabrielle Phillips of Lake Orion, who acted and sang in Stagecrafters’ “The Sound of Music” last year.\nIt’s based on the 1939 MGM movie starring Judy Garland. It’s so iconic, some of its lines were voted into “The 100 Greatest Movie Lines” by Premier magazine in 2007. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” is No. 24.\n“This is the 75th anniversary of ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and we’re doing the Royal Shakespeare version, but it’s exactly like the movie,” Wrisinger says. “The music is from the movie, the characters are from the movie, and of course the story.”\nStagecrafters is a nonprofit community theater now in its 57th year. Musicians are paid, Wrisinger says, although the cast and technical crew work on a volunteer basis. But everyone strives for a professional level. The show opens on Friday, June 6.\n“We’ll be ready, but that’s a challenge with the professional effects,” he says. “The amount of work on the set and the sewing of costumes ... the costume changes are fast, and the makeup people have their work cut out for them. The casrt works so well together, but the technical crew is extraordinatry.”\nA special event connected to this production is the Good Witch, Bad Witch Ladies Night Out Fundraiser on Wednesday, June 4, at the Baldwin Theatre. This is a themed evening in which patrons dress as their favorite “good witch” or “bad witch,” for a pre-glow of hors d’oeuvres prepared by Café Muse of Royal Oak, drinks including a Flying Monkey Brew, shopping, a raffle, costume contest and preview performance of “The Wizard of Oz.” The event begins at 6 p.m., and costume prizes will be awarded in each category. The fundraiser is sponsored by Credit Union Advantage. “The Wizard of Oz” is sponsored by Miner’s Den Jewelers of Royal Oak.\n“I think that when people think about the movie, they have it in their minds what it’s supposed to look like,” Wrisinger says. “We’re gonna get that, but with a flair. It’s a little bit of ‘Wizard of Oz,’ a little bit of (the Broadway smash) ‘Wicked,’ so it’s ‘Wizard of Oz’ with a twist, and I’m very, very excited to share that.”\nOne of the mysteries of the story is that many characters have dual roles — one in Oz and one at home in Kansas. And so do the actors.\nIn case you’ve forgotten the story, Dorothy is growing up on a Kansas farm with Auntie Em (played by Helen Frizzo of Royal Oak) and Uncle Henry (Bill Glace of Ferndale). A mean neightbor, Miss Gulch (played by Elizabeth Schultz of Royal Oak) claims Dorothy’s dog bit her, and she takes him away. But Toto escapes, and Dorothy decides to run away with him. She meets Professor Marvel (Ron Otulakowski of Eastpointe) who convinces her to return home. When she arrives home, a tornado hits the area and causes her to fall and hit her head.\nWhen she awakes, she finds herself in the colorful Land of Oz, where she meets the people of Munchkinland and good witch Glinda (Randi Hamilton of Ferndale). Dorothy also meets the Wicked Witch of the West (Schultz) who wants the magical ruby slippers that Glinda places on Dorothy’s feet. Then Dorothy sets off on a journey to seek help from the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. Along the yellow brick road, she meets a scarecrow (Matthew Miga of Ferndale, who also plays farmhand Hickory), a tin man (Bradley Ellison of Southfield, also playing farmhand Hunk) and a cowardly lion (Jerry Haines of Berkley, also playing farmhand Zeke). Together, they travel to Emerald City and the powerful wizard. But first, they must battle talking (and in this show, singing!) trees, and the scariest thing of all — evil flying monkeys.\nStagecrafters’ flying effects are courtesy of ZFX Inc. The book is by L. Frank Baum with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, background music by Herbert Stothart, dance and vocal arrangements by Peter Howard, orchestration by Larry Wilcox and adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company.\n“I wanted to do another show that involved youth and adults.

-{"text": "Roger Simon: Republicans reach for the stars, but fall flat on their faces\nA new GOP study designed to theatrically rebrand the party and boldly redirect its future turns out to be 97-page blend of the obvious, the unlikely and the impossible.\nThe study, which contains no fewer than 219 recommendations, was supposed to pull a party that has lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections out of its death spiral.\nIn previewing it on \"Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer\" on Sunday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said of the last election: \"Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren't inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; our primary and debate process needed improvement.\"\nWasn't something else weak, insufficient, behind and needing improvement? Oh, yeah, Mitt Romney. Priebus didn't mention his name, perhaps because he has already forgotten it.\nThe bold and new rebranding of the Republican Party is, in fact, a mélange of old Democratic successes (organize hard with paid staff and new technology across the entire country), old Democratic failures (limit the number of primary debates) and thinking that is so pie-in-the-sky that the GOP might as well stand for Grand Old Pastry.\nTake minorities. The Republicans are now going to study them like they were some kind of new microbe. Priebus is pledging to spend $10 million on the effort.\nI know $10 million sounds like a lot, but in political terms it is a pittance. The two presidential campaigns spent more than $2 billion in the last election, and one Republican billionaire, Sheldon Adelson, gave Romney $33 million in the closing weeks, bringing the total he and his wife gave to the GOP to $95 million. In other words, $10 million is what Republican fat cats find in their couch cushions.\nNo matter. The Republicans need to seek out and woo minorities because so few minorities are already members of the party. Republicans have to study minorities from afar, like astronomers studying distant galaxies.\nThe Republicans are going to establish \"Senior Level Advisory Councils\" for Hispanics, African-Americans and Asian-Americans. They will reach out to women and start doing \"voter engagement at a granular level starting now,\" Priebus said at a news conference Monday.\nPriebus did not explain what \"granular level\" means, but next time you open your sugar bowl, watch out.\nMinority outreach for Republicans is easier said than done, however, and the new report envisions a lot of saying without promising much doing. The GOP doesn't really expect to gain many new black voters in 2014 or 2016, but it is drooling over Hispanic voters.\nAfter the 2000 election, Matthew Dowd, then a senior strategist for George W. Bush, produced a now-historic memo stating that if Republicans continued to underperform among Hispanics, the party would be in serious trouble nationally as Hispanic voting strength grew.\nAnd Hispanics were fertile soil for Republicans. As Dowd told me: \"Hispanics are more like European immigrants of the early 1900s or late 1800s. They are like the Irish: They start out Democratic, but as they become part of the economic mainstream, they become much more valuable to Republicans.\"\nOn the surface, the new GOP report looks good for Hispanics. \"We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform,\" it says. \"If we do not, our Party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only.\" (Which is what Dowd told them a dozen years ago.)\nBut that is as far as the report goes. It does not address what most Hispanics really care about: immigration reform that guarantees a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million in America illegally.\nSome Republicans don't want to reward lawbreaking, and some say: \"Hey, why create millions of new voters who are going to give Democrats 70 percent of their votes?\"\nThis is where outreach becomes tough. When Priebus was asked why gay voters would vote Republican, he replied: \"Sen. Portman made some inroads last week.\"\nAnd, indeed, Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican from Ohio, recently endorsed gay marriage after finding out (two years ago) that his son is gay. And if Portman ever has a black child, maybe Portman will champion civil rights.\nBut don't worry. The GOP is leaving no minority group unturned. The report calls for a \"Celebrity Task Force of personalities in the entertainment industry to host events . and allow donors to participate in entertainment events as a way to attract younger voters.\"\nSo maybe Sheldon Adelson and Taylor Swift could do a happenin' duet.\nRoger Simon is Politico's chief political columnist.", "char_count": 4651, "token_count": 1162, "k_exact": 2.9356, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9504, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Whether a public cloud or private cloud, everyone agrees that cloud computing key benefits include scalability, instant provisioning, virtualized resources and ability to expand the server base quickly.\nHowever, “cloud computing” is still used to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. When it comes to slicing up the cloud taxonomy a little further, there’s still quite a bit of confusion between the public cloud and private cloud computing.\nThe public cloud is defined as a multi-tenant environment, where you buy a “server slice” in a cloud computing environment that is shared with a number of other clients or tenants.\nPublic clouds such as Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud have a number of trade-offs:\n- Utility Model – Public Clouds typically deliver a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay by the hour for the compute resources you use. This is an economical way to go if you’re spinning up & tearing down development servers on a regular basis.\n- No Contracts – Along with the utility model, you’re only paying by the hour – if you want to shut down your server after only 2 hours of use, there is no contract requiring your ongoing use of the server.\n- Shared Hardware – Because the public cloud is by definition a multi-tenant environment, your server shares the same hardware, storage and network devices as the other tenants in the cloud. Meeting compliance requirements, such as PCI or SOX, is not possible in the public cloud.\n- No Control of Hardware Performance – In the public cloud, you can’t select the hardware, cache or storage performance (SATA or SAS). Your virtual server is placed on whatever hardware and network, the public cloud provider designates for you.\n- Self Managed – with the high volume, utility model, self managed systems are required for this business model to make sense. Advantage here for the technical buyers that like to setup and manage the details of their servers. Disadvantage for those that want a fully managed solution.\nThe majority of public cloud deployments are generally used for web servers or development systems where security and compliance requirements of larger organizations and their customers is not an issue.\nPrivate Cloud Computing, on the other hand, by definition is a single-tenant environment where the hardware, storage and network are dedicated to a single client or company.\nPrivate cloud computing also has a number of trade-offs:\n- Security – Because private clouds are dedicated to a single organization, the hardware, data storage and network can be designed to assure high levels of security that cannot be accessed by other clients in the same data center.\n- Compliance – Sarbanes Oxley, PCI and HIPAA compliance can not be delivered through a public cloud deployment. Because the hardware, storage and network configuration is dedicated to a single client, compliance is much easier to achieve.\n- Customizable – Hardware performance, network performance and storage performance can be specified and customized in the private cloud.\n- Hybrid Deployments – If a dedicated server is required to run a high speed database application, that hardware can be integrated into a private cloud, in effect, hybridizing the solution between virtual servers and dedicated servers. This can’t be achieved in a public cloud.\nAs opposed to public clouds, private clouds are not delivered through a utility model or pay-as-you-go basis because the hardware is dedicated. Private clouds are generally preferred by mid and large size enterprises because they meet the security and compliance requirements of these larger organizations and their customers.", "char_count": 3616, "token_count": 904, "k_exact": 3.5474, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.88, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

CRUMRINE LENS MOUNZ Filed July 25, 1939 CHESTER MCQUMP/NE ATIORNE Y Patented June 10, 1941 LENS MOUNT Chester W. Crumrine, Rochester, N. Y., assignor to Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N. Y., a corporation of New Jersey Application July 25, 1939, Serial No. 286,385\nThis invention relates to optical systems and particularly to lens mounts.\nIt is an object of the invention to provide a method of mounting lenses and particularly single lenses or elements, alone or as part of a more complex system.\nIt is a particular object of the invention to provide an extremely inexpensive but highly accurate lens mount which can be safely assembled by simply inserting the mount into a tube provided therefor. The tube may be cylindrical (or conical) with circular, rectangular or any desired cross section.\nBy way of example, the simple cylindrical case which cylinder has a circular cross section, will be considered in detail. If a lens element such as a meniscus glass element is fitted snugly into a mount there is pressure exerted on the element from all sides toward the optic axis thereof. Such pressure is liable to cause occasional break-,\nage of the lenses during manufacture and to introduce strain into the lens which, from an optical viewpoint, is, of course, quite unsatisfactory and which also makes the lenses susceptible to breakage during later use.\nAccording to the present invention, this pressure on the lens is descreased and the troubles caused thereby eliminated by molding a plastic rim onto the periphery of the lens which rim extends axially from both sides of the lens and has an outer surface which is substantially concave toric. In this connection, the word toric is used to include any surface in which the diameter near the center is less than the diameter near the end of the cylinder. of course, in the case of a cone the actual diameter of the rim adjacent to the lens may be slightly greater than the diameter at one end of the rim, but since the chamber into which the lens is to be mounted in a camera would also be conical in this case, the efiective diameter of the rim near the lens is less than the efiective diameter of the rim at either end.\nWhen this arrangement of the rim is used, the rim may be inserted fitting snugly into a cylinder and the pressure of the cylinder on the rim will be exerted mainly on the ends of the rim and not on that portion adjacent to the lens. The lens itself will exert a counterpressure outward on the central part of the rim and the rim will be distorted slightly under these pressures. That is, the rim itself will change in shape so that no excessive pressures will be exerted on the lens element itself.\nThe present invention-is particularly useful with those described in copending applications, Serial Numbers 286,386 and 286,384 filed concurrently herewith by Donald L. Wood and by myself respectively.\nOther objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawing in which- Fig. 1 shows a simple meniscus lens in cross section.\nFig. 2 shows the cross section of the pertinent parts of a molding machine for mounting a lens according to the invention.\nFig. 3 shows one embodiment of the invention.\nFig. 4 shows the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 as mounted in a portion of a camera wall.\nIn Fig. 1 a meniscus lens element Hl having an optic axis H is shown in cross section. The\nsurfaces of this lens have radii of curvature RI 20 and R2 respectively and the axial thickness thereof is T. Since the element as shown is in that stage of manufacture in which it has not yet been centered, the diameter thereof taken from the optic axis is different in difierent directions as indicated by HI and H2.\nIn Fig. 2 the lens element I0 is held by a zonal clamp consisting of members I4 and IS in a molding machine comprising molds l6 and IT. The zonal clamp members l4 and I5 are carried by plungers l2 and I3 respectively, the\nplunger 12 being held in place by a spring I9- and a plate 20 and the plunger 13 being held in place by a screw 2| in a plate 22 having an adjusting knob 23 with scale 24 and index 25.\nAccording to the invention a rim is molded onto the element In by injecting a plastic through an injection nozzle 21 into the chamber 26 around the periphery of the lens. The zonal clamp members l4 and I5 prevent any-of the plastic entering chamber 28 adjacent to the central portions of the lens surfaces. According to the invention, the molding machine is so ar ranged that the outer surface of the rim is slightly concave. This is best seen in Fig. 3 wherein the rim of the lens 10 is indicated as 30. The outer surface 29 of this rim is seen to be concave toric. Incidentally, since the lens [0 is held by a zonal clamp in the mold, the outer periphery of this rim 3'0 is optically centered on the axis H as indicated by the arrows H.\nFurthermore, I have made the surprising discovery, that a rim molded as shown in the drawing, which rim has an axial length greater than its radial thickness and which rim extends axially from both sides of the lens, will have the required concave surface 29 .if it is made by injecting the molding into a mold whose walls are straight and cylindrical. That is, although the mold itself has straight walls the rim when finished and removed from the mold will assume a shape in which the outer surface is concave toric.\nAs shown in Fig. 4, this lens ill in its rim 30 may be inserted snugly into a chamber, for example, in the wall of a camera. The rim 3B is pushed into this chamber until the end surface of the rim comes in contact with an abutment 33 in such a camera wall 32, which is also provided with an aperture 35 which acts as the aperture for the lens I 0.\nThe Fig. 4 illustrates the advantage of this type of rim. As is shown, the rim 30 fits snugly into a cylinder in the housing 32 so that pressure indicated by arrows 36 is exerted on the ends of this rim 30. The fit is snuggest at the ends of the rim. Due to the curvature of the surface 29, there is no direct pressure on the rim 30 adjacent to the lens element I0. On the other hand, the\nelement Ill exerts a counterpressure 31 outward on the rim 30 and together with the pressure exerted at the point 36, this pressure distorts the rim 3!] bending it to or towards a shape in which the Outer surface 29 thereof is perfectly cylindrical and not concave. Actually of course, the surface 29 remains slightly concave even when inserted in 'thech-am-ber' provided therefor. Although the curvature 29 is very slight and the amount of distortion of the rim 30 which is permissible is also very small, this invention succeeds in reducng the pressure on the lens l suf- I ficiently to eliminate breakage during manufacture and strain in the lens after it is mounted in a camera.\nObviously by having the injection nozzle and the line of separation of the mold shown in Fig. 2 at a point opposite to the lens l0 instead of at one end of the rim chamber 26, the mold could be arranged so that the concavity of the surface 29 could beany desired amount. However, I have found that sufficient concavity and in fact an almost ideal arrangement is produced when the surface of the mold H is perfectly flat, or more correctly is perfectly cylindrical.\nIf the radial thickness of the rim 30 is too great, compared with its axial thickness, 1. e., its length, the resiliency of the rim is reduced to a point where little advantage is gained by the invention. However, it is difilcult to state exactly when this advantage becomes negligible, but in general the radial thickness of the rim should not be greater than its length. and of course thelength should be sufllcient to extend axially from both sides of the rim of the lens Ill.\nHaving thus described in detail one embodiment of my invention, 1' wish to point out that it is not limited to the specific structure shown but is of the scope of the appended claims.\nWhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:\n1. A camera lens mount comprising a camera wall having a tubular aperture therein, an abutment on the inner wall of the tubular aperture, a, plastic rim holding said lens in axial alignment in the aperture and fitting snugly in the tubular aperture against said abutment, the outer surface of the rim being concave toric whereby the fit is snuggest near the from and rear edges of the rim.\n2. An optical system comprising a tubular lens mount, abutment meanson the inner wall of the tubular mount, a lens axially aligned in the mount and a plastic rim for the lens fitting snugly in the mount and against the abutment means, the outer surface of the rim being concave in section and the fit between the rim and the mount being tightest at the front amid ear edges of the rim.\nCHESTER W.

-{"text": "DoJ to Brush Cobwebs Off Music Licensing Agreements\nThe U.S. Department of Justice this week said it would review long-held agreements with two major performing-rights organizations with an eye to updating them to reflect the climate of the music industry more accurately.\nThe DoJ's agreements with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music Inc (BMI) have been in place for more than 70 years. The consent decrees were last updated in 2001 and 1994 respectively, long before the rise of streaming music services that can pay less than a cent to an artist each time one of their songs is played.\n\"We don't think [the old rules] fit well with the new business environment,\" Stuart Rosen, SVP and general counsel at BMI, told the E-Commerce Times.\n\"The fact that they're taking a fresh look at things and seeing if there's a way to modernize the decrees is nothing but good news from our perspective,\" he added.\n\"We are gratified by the Department of Justice's decision to open a formal review of the ASCAP and BMI consent decrees,\" said Paul Williams, ASCAP president and chairman. \"Since the ASCAP decree was last reviewed in 2001 -- before even the iPod was introduced -- new technologies have dramatically transformed the way people listen to music.\"\nASCAP and BMI, both of which are nonprofit entities, have pushed for the move. Between them, they license about 90 percent of music played in movies and restaurants, and on television and online services.\nSongwriters use publishers to promote their works, as well as to license, sell and distribute recordings. Publishers and songwriters often turn to ASCAP and BMI to collectively license songs for public performance to music services like Pandora, Spotify and Rdio.\nWhen there's a dispute over the cost of a license, it's arbitrated by so-called rate courts, which were set up in 1941 through consent decrees between the DoJ, ASCAP and BMI. The decrees did not have an expiration date at the time, though they usually expire after five or seven years.\nPublishers need to have an all-or-nothing relationship with BMI or ASCAP. If they wish to work with BMI or ASCAP, they don't have the option to license their works to a radio station but not Spotify, for instance.\n\"What we would like to do, ultimately, is move the rate process to a point where it's a free market -- where, through open negotiations that aren't regulated, we can set what is an appropriate market rate,\" BMI's Rosen said.\n\"We don't think the current model works that way. We think that the results of rate courts are intended to replicate open market negotiations, but we don't think the results back that up. Anything that we can do to create a more free market environment is really what we're trying to get to.\"\n'Current Model Slow'\n\"We think the current model is slow,\" Rosen added.\n\"The current model is expensive. We don't think it allows for an easy way of paying the writers and publishers while the parties are in the middle of a dispute. We think that the results really have not reflected fair market value,\" he explained.\n\"What if we moved the rate-setting model from a court to an arbitration panel? We think an arbitration panel could move more quickly -- it could move more cheaply. We think a panel might have a cross-section of industry experts, business people and lawyers that would achieve a result that would better reflect fair market value,\" Rosen argued.\n\"ASCAP remains committed to working with the Department of Justice and all industry stakeholders to modernize the music licensing system so that it better serves songwriters, the businesses who depend on our music, and the people who listen to it -- not just today, but for generations to come,\" ASCAP's Williams said.\n\"Updating music licensing regulations to reflect the realities of today's music landscape will preserve the benefits of collective licensing to businesses that license music, give consumers greater access to the music they love, and allow the more than 500,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers we represent to be compensated for the true value their music brings to the marketplace,\" Williams concluded.\nEnd to Rate Courts\nASCAP also would like an end to the rate courts in favor of an arbitration process, according to Reuters. Both ASCAP and BMI would like an end to the all-or-nothing model as well.\nThe DoJ will be receiving public comment on the arbitration issue and whether the all-or-nothing model should stay in place.\nThe tussle between the performing rights organizations and music services has on occasion become litigious. BMI, for instance, brought legal action against Pandora last year in search of \"reasonable, market-driven fees\" for the service after negotiations broke down.\n\"In short, a review of the licensing system in the U.S. is long overdue, and my guess is all the players involved on all sides will welcome it,\" Simon Dyson, editor of the Music & Copyright newsletter at Informa, told the E-Commerce Times.\n\"The likes of ASCAP and BMI will benefit from knowing in the longer term what they are able to offer licenses for, given that the music publishers have made it clear that they want to license direct-to-digital services. The worry is that if publishers cannot withdraw their digital licensing rights, then one of the big publishers might pull out of ASCAP or BMI altogether,\" he said.\n\"Digital services might not like having to pay higher rates, if that is what the review eventually suggests,\" Dyson added, \"but the difference between what a publisher/author earns from a digital music service and what record companies earn is way too big, and the review will need to close the gap.\"", "char_count": 5696, "token_count": 1424, "k_exact": 2.322, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8581, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "(Mayor Cahill and Lord Mayor Ó Muilleoir in front of the Skainos Square building in east Belfast. Skainos Square, part of the East Belfast Mission, gives organizations a place to meet, congregate and hold professional conferences with quality, professional space and equipment. Skainos represents transformation and renewal for the community and its functions.)\nLast year, at the invitation of Mayor Jim Cahill, the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, visited New Brunswick. The two mayors recognized that both Cities have undergone major transformations in becoming modern, thriving 21st century urban centers resulting from major redevelopment in the areas of education, business, housing, the arts, hospitality and healthcare.\nFrancis Schott, part-owner of the restaurants Stage Left and Catherine Lombardi here in New Brunswick, points out what is especially unique about these two Cities is that these major redevelopments “are not about buildings, but about people, culture and opportunity.”\nFrancis Schott and Lord Mayor Ó Muilleoir originally met when Mr. Schott received the “Serving America” award from Irish American Entrepreneurs and Mr. Ó Muilleoir was at this same awards dinner as the publisher of the Irish Echo. The Irish Echo is the most read Irish-American newspaper in the United States. From their discussions, Mr. Schott recognized the common pulse of life and energy between the Cities of Belfast and New Brunswick.\nAt the invitation of Lord Mayor Ó Muilleoir, Mayor Cahill recently led a delegation from New Brunswick, comprised of representatives from Rutgers, DEVCO, George Street Playhouse, the New Brunswick Jazz Project, local businesses, and City government, to Belfast. The ambitious agenda of the three day visit was designed for the New Brunswick delegates to meet their counterparts in Belfast to explore the potential of developing mutually beneficial partnerships within their respective areas of interest and expertise.\nBelfast is also a university city. Belfast has two universities: Queen’s University Belfast has approximately 30,000 students and the University of Ulster will soon have 15,000 students on its Belfast campus. Of course, New Brunswick is home to Rutgers University and its now nearly 60,000 students with the merger of RU with UMDNJ and the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.\nParticular initial areas of interest between the higher education communities of both Cities include medicine, cancer and gene research involving diverse populations and specialties in the biomedical fields as well as engineering.\nRichard Edwards, Rutgers University’s Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, described the trip as fantastic. He noted, “The psychology of movement for the elderly and applications for athletic endeavors is currently being researched among a faculty member from Queen’s University and a faculty member from Rutgers University.” Mr. Edwards also toured facilities, specifically Belfast’s Cancer Institute and said, “They are doing cutting edge research and this would be the kind of research that Rutgers would be interested in.” The Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, calling New Brunswick home, makes the educational exchange between Belfast and New Brunswick even more mutually beneficial for educational research and healthcare developments.\nChris Paladino, President of New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO), got to work with both the business and University communities in Belfast. Strong parallels could be drawn from the Titanic Quarter, a massive redevelopment project underway, taking advantage of Belfast’s history as one of the world’s great shipbuilding centers and site where perhaps the world’s most famous ship, the Titanic, was built.\nAnd like DEVCO’s current $300 million College Avenue Redevelopment Initiative, Belfast is soon to experience a several hundred-million dollar project in the development of a new, expanded Ulster University campus. Approximately 20,000 faculty and students, and all activities from the University of Ulster that are currently based out of the nearby suburb of Jordanstown, will be relocated to Belfast by 2018. This is similar to the projects here where biotechnology and engineering companies are encouraged to invest and move to New Brunswick where regeneration is thriving and students are learning and growing. According to Mr. Paladino, “We have already benefitted from the exchanges of professional ideas and see long lasted possibilities for the future.”\nDEVCO’s Belfast counterparts were most interested in the comprehensiveness and diversity of New Brunswick’s revitalization and the key role DEVCO has played in projects like Gateway Transit Village, The Vue, The Heldrich, the renovation of the Post Office and the Middlesex County Courthouse, Civic Square, New Brunswick High School, Lord Stirling School, and many more.\n“Throughout the City of Belfast, its citizens are investing in the community,” said City Council Vice President Kevin Egan. “Run-down buildings are being transformed into activity centers for young people to take part in like skateboarding and areas for the community to come together.” The synergies between Belfast and New Brunswick are so simply stated and emerge through examples like Mr. Egan’s Belfast experience. Redevelopments like the Hub City Teen Center which continues to evolve for youth recreation like the current indoor soccer complex being built to be used for both indoor soccer and baseball, New Brunswick Public Schools working as recreational activity centers after school, and the Promise House sheltering victims of domestic violence and providing services for their success are examples of how “Belfast and New Brunswick remember their past to recreate their future,” said Mayor Cahill or like Lord Mayor Ó Muilleoir states, ‘Building the future Belfast – together.’\nBoth Belfast and New Brunswick understand that the arts are not only good for the heart and soul of a community, but are also good drivers for business as well. Theater, visual and performing artists, historical landmarks, and a vibrant hospitality and entertainment industry bring outsiders in and keep locals coming back for more in both locales.\n“Mayor Cahill and Lord Mayor Ó Muilleoir are two visionary men that have so much in common,” says Mr. Schott. “I am eager to see this relationship continue and being among the first incoming trade missions to Belfast in 20 years is something New Brunswick can take pride in, pushing our City to keep making the community as a whole and each of its working parts of education, business, housing, the arts, hospitality and healthcare working together.”\nMayor Cahill said the participants in the Belfast exchange from New Brunswick will meet again to share a debriefing on each of their respective experiences while in Belfast and to determine and develop areas of future programming that will be of interest and beneficial to New Brunswick, its residents, businesses and organizations.\nBut no one is letting any grass grow under their feet. Already, New Brunswick’s Jazz Project is looking to host and arrange for a concert venue for the 64 member Belfast Community Gospel Choir later this year in May. The New Brunswick Jazz Project is looking at collaboration opportunities with our City’s gospel choirs and other local musicians.\nNo City taxpayer funds were used for the trip to Belfast. Among those in the City delegation were Mayor Cahill, Tom Loughlin (City Administrator), Michael Tublin (Director of International Programs and Co-founder of New Brunswick Jazz Project), James Lenihan and Virgina DeBerry (also of the New Brunswick Jazz Project), Mitchell Karon (New Brunswick Parking Authority Executive Director), David Saint (Artistic Director of George Street Playhouse), Greg Ritter (Chairman of New Brunswick City Market and owner of George Street Camera), Francis Schott, Richard Edwards, Chris Paladino, and Kevin Egan.\n(Picture of Belfast Choir Performing for New Brunswick Delegation)\n(From Left to Right:\nThe Consul General, Gregory S.

-{"text": "Well, this weekend ought to be good. Today we’re just going to be relaxing all day, but tomorrow Brian has to work at his part-time job in the evening and I’m going to be going to a free Christian concert with one of my girlfriends from work. I hate to go without my husband, but he said it would be just fine if I went with my friends.\nLast night we went to Bessie’s house for Friday night movie night and served BBQ spare ribs, bread, chips, cheese, and sushi. It was a great night. Loving on the homeless, prostitutes and gang bangers that we serve. I enjoy my time with my guys and gals, especially when they call me Mama. There’s one young man named Neil, he’s a senior in high school, that I just love to death, he’s like a son to me. Every time he sees me he runs up to me first and just hugs me hard and tells me how much he loves me and misses me, then gives me a kiss on my cheek. Puts a tear in my eye every time. I think he just misses me telling him to pull his pants up. Cause every time I tell him that he pulls them up and laughs.\nAnyway, we talked to an interesting man last night. His name is Sony and he’s been homeless since he’s been 13 and he’s now 36 years old. He got put in the pen when he was 19 and was in for 10 years, didn’t ask him why it’s not my business. 2 years ago on Independence Avenue at a gas station, he was shot in the face and robbed basically for change. But the coolest part about his story was that he knows Jesus and he finds the joy with his life everyday. He said even though the right side of his face is paralyzed, his right eye is blind, and when he speaks, he drools he can still find joy in the life the God gave him, the second chance that the Lord blessed him with. He speaks with such a passion, it brought goose bumps to my skin listening to him speak about his life and how much he loves Jesus.\nPeople like Neil and Sony are who we serve in our Ministry. There are more stories, but those are just 2 from last night that I wanted to share. I love what we do and I wish I could be there full time doing this, but I do work a full-time job. So I help out when I can. Our web page is a little outdated, but you can check it out if you’d like: http://www.hope-outreach.org.\nWell, I think that’s all for today, I have to go pick up my van and we have to go drop off some food.\nGod bless and take care.\nHow kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! ~ Psalm 116:5, NLT\nYep, I have not been around in quite a while. Between work and the ministry, life has been just crazy busy. But last night I did go get my grand-daughter and spend a few hours with her and enjoyed that time. She just makes my heart soar!!!\nWell, since I’ve been working I’ve been trying to watch what I’ve been eating and not following any diet plan. I feel that if I follow a diet plan and fall off of it, I will fail. So if I just do my own thing, I’ll do just fine and so far it’s working. Brian has jumped on in the last 7 weeks also. So we’ve cut out red meat, pork, and basically anything white. We eat a lot of chicken, turkey, fish, and the nothing white is now whole grain/wheat. I quite drinking milk, mainly because it made too much, not to sound gross, phlegm in my throat. Now I drink Almond Breeze. I’m going to also try Coconut milk. Since I’ve been doing this I’m now down 63 lbs. and in the 7 weeks Brian’s been doing it, he’s down 27 lbs. I still have a lot more to go, but I went to my Drs. about 3 weeks ago, and he said he’s very proud of the way I’ve been doing things. I told him what I’ve been doing and what I’ve been eating and drinking, and he’s just ecstatic about it. Especially since how heavy I was, he’s very proud. I go back in June and I’m hoping to have quite a bit more off and also hoping to have him tell me that I can get off my high blood pressure medication. That would be nice.\nToday has been a pretty good day so far. I’ve been in my little cubical working on my payables and receivables and while doing that I have all my music I like, mostly worship music, in my computer. So I’ve been listening to it. I enjoy doing that and just praising my Jesus for the glorious day and life that he’s given me. Is my life perfect? Not by a long shot, but I can find the positive in the negatives. Here at work, I’ve had so many people tell me, ” you always have a smile on your face, what’s up with that?” I tell them, “It’s because the Lord let me wake up another day.” Then I just usually get a blank stare and I just smile and tell them to have a great and beautiful day too.\nTake care everyone and have a great and beautiful day yourselves!!\nI will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. ~ Psalm 9:2, NLT\nBrian and I have spent quite a bit of time together this weekend and it’s been awesome. I have so much enjoyed going out and being able to serve our brothers and sisters in need on the streets. What a joy that is for me. Actually I think it’s more that the Lord has been letting me know that Brian needs to learn to let go of me a little more each time we go out and let me learn on my own. Brian is very protective of me and I know why. I’m his wife, of course he’s going to be protective of me, I have medical issues, MS with left side weakness, high blood pressure, my eyes go blurry, but when I’m serving and doing the Lords will, I’m strong and HE leads me to where he wants me to go and say what HE wants me to say. So I guess if we’re going to be living in the Northeast area, Brian’s going to have to learn that he can’t be with me 24/7. We’re going to be living in a place where the homeless and prostitutes are going to be able to come in, take a shower, wash their clothes, eat, take a nap, watch TV, etc. and I’ll be there too. He can’t keep me guarded all the time. Now our living quarters will be apart from where they will be able to hang out, but still. I just feel that the Lord is telling me that I need to talk to Brian to let him know that he needs to let go a little more than he normally does.\nThat’s only part of what I have. My son told me last weekend that of course for the Labor Day weekend he’d have a 3 day weekend and come see me. Well, I never heard a word from him. I wound up calling him around 5 in the evening on Monday. He never even thought anything about it. Here’s the thing that bugs me the most. He’s living at his best friends dad’s house in the basement cause Lenny lets him. Fine. Well, he seems to care for Lenny and Melissa more than his own parents. I don’t get phone calls, or text messages. I finally told him last night that if I didn’t get even a text message letting me know that he’s OK, I’m going to go sideways on his ass. He kind of laughed and said, “mom you’re so cute.” I wasn’t trying to be funny or cute, I was letting him know how worried I get when I don’t hear from him for days and days. It breaks my heart and it hurts me terribly. So needless to say while I was trying to eat, I was crying. Well that pissed my husband off so he called Lil’ Brian, our son, and said, “I just want you t0 know that your mother is very hurt that you don’t call or come by and while she’s trying to eat her dinner she’s crying.” LB said, “she was fine while I was talking to her.” BB said, “She doesn’t want you to hear her cry or hear her pain that you put her through, you know how strong of a woman your mother is, but she’s hurt and I just wanted you to know so you have a great night Brian, OK? Good night.” Then he hung up. I haven’t heard from him since. It’ll take him a few days to process. That’s how his brain works. He gets told something, and he doesn’t react right away, he has to process. It drives me nuts.\nWell, that’s all I have to say for now.\nHave a great day and God bless everyone!!!\nI finally told my son that he is selfish and only thinks of himself. He really pissed me off this weekend. Not only was I pissed, but I was just down right hurt. I really wanted to spend time with both my kids this holiday weekend and I asked him a couple of times, are we going to see you at all this holiday weekend? His reply each time was “well, I don’t know.” All I said was, “It’d be nice to spend some time with you since it seems we never get to see you any more.” He said nothing. So last night after he got home, I went to my room and folded the laundry. He followed me and asked me what’s wrong. Well, I let him have it. Everytime he has a new girlfriend, which he’s been dating Kara for about 3 months now, he’s in his own world and has nothing, and I mean nothing to do with any of us, let alone even bring any of his girlfriends around us. Personally I think he’s ashamed of us. That just kills me inside. I told him that when I don’t hear from him it scares me cause he’s so irresponsible. I’m afraid I’m going to get a call or a cop show up at my door and tell me that my son’s dead. I asked him if understood my feelings, he said yes, but I said do you really? All I got was him staring at me. I’m hoping what I said will sink into that thick skull of his. Then he goes and stays with his old best friends parents. I’m glad he likes them, but sorry Bud, I’m not going to allow you to have your girlfriend spend the night in the same bed under my roof and I won’t buy your alcohol. They will. That pisses me off. I’ve asked them not to but why would they listen to me. My son is a 20-year-old man. If they let him drive drunk and get in a wreck, I’ll kill them. Apparently, my son is the only one left of their son’s friends that actually talk to them. Last night before I went to bed, I saw my son laying in the dining room area, in the dark, with his arm over his eyes, sniffing, so I hope what I said got to him. He needs to realize how immature and selfish he’s been. His dad and I have bent over backwards to help him out with letting him live with us in our one bedroom apartment, his dad helping him out with his finances to get him on his feet, helping him look for a new job, which a friend of our told us about a really good company that was hiring and he got a job there, so we’re letting him stay with us till his 60 days is up at his new job and he finds a place of his own. He just doesn’t appreciate what he asked us to help him with and we’ve done.\nSorry to rant, but I had to get it off my chest. I know expressing it to him helped out a lot, but I needed to share it with others. I guess my public announcement of how angry I am.\nAlthough yesterday evening I did spend with my daughter. We went to go see Eclipse. I really enjoyed it a lot. But then again, I love the Twilight series. I’ve read all the books and now I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn to come out. I wouldn’t mind reading the Short Life of Bree Tanner. But I really wish that Stephenie Meyer would come up with more in the series. She is a good writer and I really like her writing style.\nAnyway, I better get back to the non-ringing lines here at work. We have about 42 people here at work and there are probably about 15 people here.\nHave a blessed day.\nWell, first off of course I had a great day on Saturday with Miss Isabelle. How could I not. She’s the light of my life. I love spending time with her. She’s growing like a weed, and pulling herself up on everything. Now she’s trying to get the whole walking around things down. It’s fun watching her figure it out, but it makes me sad when she bonks her head, or smacks her mouth on the table, but I guess she has to learn some how.\nThen on Sunday, wow what a day that was. Brian and I headed out to Bessie’s House around 8:30 to be there by 9:00 am. It was so great for me to be there for the first time. Bessie’s is a place for homeless and prostitutes to come in and take a shower, wash clothes, get some food, etc. Anyway, on Sundays they have their own Sunday service outside praising Jesus, they get fed, then Bessie’s House closes down for the day. But I totally enjoyed the day serving and listening to the service and just being welcomed with open arms by everyone that knows Brian and finally got to meet me for the first time they showed me love the way Christ loved the church. It was Amazing. I’m going to go with Brian every Sunday to help serve. I really enjoyed myself and felt at home there. Just seeing a difference from there to where we worship is crazy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with where we worship, but the difference is in the people and how they see Jesus. People on the streets depend on Him more than people who have safety in their lives of living in homes and always having food in their bellies. They just seem to know Jesus more.\nSo be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:6\nHere recently I’ve been wondering about my weight with my MS. I know that my weight is a big issue, I mean BIG!!! Ge’ez, I’m BIG, B-I-G!!! So anyway, I’m looking into Lap Band Surgery. I’m going to go to a seminar on it in July to see what it’s all about. There’s a possibility that my insurance could cover up to 100%. I mean when you go through the list, I’m pre-diabetic, I have high blood pressure, my BMI is over 35, I’ve been over weight (or should I say obese) for at least 5 years, you have to be at least 18 (well I’m 40 so I think I qualify for that), your series of weight loss attempts have been short-term (yep, I qualify for that too). I have to do something so I’m going to talk to my Dr. about it on Tuesday when I go in. We’ve been talking about my weight anyway so it maybe something he might approve of. Maybe he’d even write a letter of recommendation to the insurance company stating that it’s a necessity for my health with my MS and all.\nAnyway, that’s the crap going on in my head these last couple days. But my poor husband has had a stupid summer cold. Now my daughter is getting it and if I get it again, I’m really going to be pissed at someone. I can’t afford to be sick again. I don’t take time off work. The only time I do is to leave early for my Dr. appointments. I accrue 2.3 hours each pay period and after next Tuesday I’ll only have 8.7 hours available. I’m not wasting those. So anyway, I have to keep myself healthy. But an update on my MS meds. I did get the authorization from my insurance company to go with the Copaxone, but I haven’t heard from my Neurologists office yet on when I’ll be starting it or what. But I’m feeling fine since I haven’t been taking anything. That Avonex was some Bad A$$ stuff!!! YUCK!!!\nWell, I better go and sit here at my desk and answer the phones. Take care & God bless.\nWell, I got a call back from my Neurologists office yesterday about my Avonex. I guess hearing me cry about it and hearing the pain in my voice got them to decide to change my treatment. So anyway they’re getting authorization from my insurance company and then I’ll be starting Copaxone. It’s an everyday shot, but it apparently doesn’t have the side effects that Avonex has. Do I want to do a shot everyday? No, but I will if it will make me feel better. Believe it or not, I think my body knows it’s Friday cause it’s tensing up dreading what normally happens tonight. Well, I’m not going to take my last shot, it’s going in the garbage. BYE, BYE AVONEX!!! Good riddance!!!\nI went to my regular Dr the other day and my blood pressure was really high for me. I have always ran normal. Always in the 120/80 range. Not Wednesday. It was 168/102. So needless to say they put me on a HCTZ which is also a diuretic. Yea me, I’ll be peeing a lot!!! LOL Anyway, I let him know that I was going to stop my Avonex and he thought it was a smart idea. I just gave him a look and said ‘really’? He said yea. He said he felt that I should know my body and if it made me feel bad and I hurt with it, then it wasn’t the right “treatment” for me.\nSo this weekend will be fun. I have Isabelle tomorrow and she’s going to the dentist with me. The girls there will be enjoying that. They always loved it when the kids were little and they got to play with them at that time, now they get to play with the grand baby. They still can’t believe that Amanda has a baby. Jeez, I can’t believe Amanda has a baby. LOL. But anyway, it’s never too early to take them to the dentist and show them what it’s like. Get them socially involved with them. So, after the dentist, I’m meeting up with a girlfriend and her kids and going to take pictures of the kids for her. I guess it’ll be one way for me to get my name out there and hopefully get some business for photography and make a little cash on the side. :)\nWell, better get back to work. Take care and God bless y’all!!!\nTogether, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets.

-{"text": "Obeo Releases Obeo Designer 5.0\nLast week, Obeo, released a major update of their Obeo Designer product. One of the key goals of the tool is to give the ability to create domain specific modeling tools, based on Eclipse GMF (Graphical Modeling Framework) without the knowledge of GMF (or EMF, Eclipse Modeling Framework). The tool is based on the concept of \"View Points\":\nThe notion of viewpoints is an abstraction that provides a specification of a system, limited to a particular set of problems. It was introduced in the specification IEEE 1471. In our context, we use to provide our users a set of visual representations focused on a particular concern.\nFor each viewpoint, it is possible to define what to display and their graphic features, tool palettes, and their associated behaviors. The graphical aspects are dissociated of behavioral aspects.Obeo Designers supports the integration between viewpoints, as well as with UML. The UML modeler will be released in the coming months.\nInfoQ spoke with Jerome Benois and Freddy Allilaire from Obeo about this new release.\nInfoQ: why do you think the enterprise needs to ramp up its modeling capabilities?\nObeo: The big idea of modeling is to abstract from the technologies to reach a “human understandable” level. Tools can focus on business problems and not just on technical constraints. With Obeo Designer, business managers and software architects have the ability to define and share a common language. Modeling formalizes and hence facilitates the consistency of their communication. Each role in the company shows a common model and according to its own vocabulary and concerns.\nObeo’s modeling approach is based on DSLs and Viewpoints to raise this abstraction level. We facilitate the development of models that represent systems based on the analysis of requirements and constraints that the system must fulfill. The first modeling tools where “dogmatic” with standards such as MDA and UML. They were not tailored to help align business needs with information technology. In each case, one had to adapt its own semantics to fit in these tools, inevitably with compromises. Tool providers were faced with the difficulty of defining an ever-comprehensive language.\nDSLs offer a dedicated formalism for each domain with as few semantics and concepts as needed. The result is a greater alignment with the business and simplified modeling. But a full DSL approach could be difficult to develop in a large group with several business units that are distinct from each other. It would lead to the emergence of many formalisms for each business units. We believe it is better to define a common language shared by all stakeholders, an ubiquitous language. To be effective and usable by all stakeholders it is necessary to have a projectional approach.The standard IIEEE 1471/D4.1 structures this approach with the concept of viewpoint on a system. Every viewpoint focuses on a given issue. This structure leads to a simplification of the analysis process which is then divided into several concerns clearly defined. Each viewpoint makes it possible to meet a set of questions for a profile given analyst using \"views\" that will validate the compliance of a given architecture to different rules of perspective. This approach is based on the principles of separation of concerns, refining iterative information but mainly on the exploitation of multiple specialized representations of the same model. The model engineering and MDA approaches are most consistent with this kind of approach because they help define the concepts handled accurately and unambiguously and operate a unified models corresponding to these concepts.\nInfoQ: could you share with us some of the problems your customers are tackling with Obeo Designer?\nObeo: Typically, customers use Obeo Designer to collaborate on the design of complex projects subject to many constraints. It allows them to develop a number of tools thanks to a separation with different points of view (logical, physical, safety, etc.) This approach is very generic, recently, we were surprised to see people applying our approach to robotics.\nIn the Business Modeling context, our product is used to for instance to support the production of Insurance Services and Product Catalog . In Finance, we have customers used by financial analysts to define pricing and business rules in a comprehensive language.\nIn the context of Enterprise Architecture, Obeo Designer is used to support Enterprise Transformation. It supports TOGAF with key viewpoints : Strategic, Business, Data, Application and Technology viewpoints. This module supports the core diagrams and matrices define by the Open Group specification.\nIn the System Engineering context, customers use our product to support the system validation and verification based on Hardware / Software Consistency and Functional Analysis.\nIn Non-Functional Requirement Analysis, Obeo Designer is used to support the production of Timing Constraint Analysis and Risk Analysis.\nWe will be adding some new case studies to our web site shortly.\nInfoQ: When would you recommend users to create a graphical designer vs a textual editor?\nObeo: Some people, usually, more technical, have more affinities with textual notations. Computing languages are more natural and efficient to most of us based on a textual syntax. On the other hand, graphical notations support higher levels of abstraction. The business generally prefers using graphical representations. Some graphical representations are natural to human being like a containment represented as a tree or also a sequence represented as several boxes linked each other by an arrow. Drawing is more natural for representing a workflow or to design a plane. Obeo Designer helps you a lot with graphical representations and it is an important asset of the product. However it provides also other kinds of representations like table and matrix. Also you can mix graphical and textual modeling in a same editor in order to take the best of both approaches. We are fully compatible with Xtext (a tool that provides you a textual syntax for your domain model) and EEF (a tool that provides you a form representation for your domain model).\nInfoQ: Code generation has had some difficulties in the past to enter the software construction process, what has changed?\nObeo: The first generations of code generators were mostly based on the black box approach. These solutions were not adaptable to the specific user needs. These kinds of solutions were only practical to generate code skeletons. Of course, the synchronization between your entry point and the corresponding generated code was quickly lost. This yielded little gain from the code generation perspective.\nOne can note that, code generation has always existed ! what is a code compiler? Fortunately now most of the peoples don’t have to write assembly code and this generation is transparent for us.\nCode generation tools (especially those based on modeling) have really progressed and offer a simple syntax, efficient code generation, advanced features on par with modern IDEs like JDT. In Obeo Designer, the solution for code generation is Acceleo. Acceleo is an Open-Source code generation environment based on a pragmatic vision of MDA, hosted by the Eclipse Foundation. It implements the OMG standard: MOF Model to Text Language. It allows the automatic generation of application (or parts thereof) and fit into the agile development movement. A change in the structure of the application can be built much faster than by hand. Acceleo is an adaptive solution with some ready-to-use solutions that fit to specific needs. In addition to Acceleo, Obeo Designer also brings along Obeo Traceability to detect and correct all incoherence and synchronization problems between your application code and your models.\nBut code generation is not the solution to everything. During the development process, software architects should carefully decide if a technical choice belongs to the framework or to the code generator. There is no global answer and it depends of the use case.", "char_count": 8122, "token_count": 2030, "k_exact": 2.4128, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8698, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Not to mention this week’s “Dis-Orientation” activities (a week of student-led events, parallel to, and yet very different from, the administration-led Orientation that new students attend before starting classes).\nFor those of us who never get to graduate, it’s a bittersweet time. We need to say farewell to our favorite students. This year’s version, anyway. I have a few favorites in every graduating class, and while I celebrate their success with them, I’m sorry to see them move on.\nAll of us in Admissions count the students who hang out here among our favorites. Bernie, Katy, Alexis, and Jason have been admissions office stalwarts, conducting interviews, holding down student jobs, running information sessions, and serving as student members of the admissions committee.\nAmong other favorites are some I met through the admissions process. My first interaction with Abdul took place at a reception for admitted students in New York. His enthusiasm for the start of his graduate studies was extraordinary and contagious. As it happens, I haven’t had all that much contact with him during his two years at Fletcher, but it has been very gratifying to see how his enthusiasm has played out – especially in his role as an active member of the Student Council.\nThen there’s our dynamic Sri Lankan duo: Sudila and Nirmalan. In fact, Nirmalan graduated last May, but we were spared from saying good-bye thanks to his admission to the PhD program. This spring he’ll complete his comprehensive exams and return to his legal work in Sri Lanka. Sudila does graduate this May, though he’ll be working in the Boston area and we hope he’ll visit now and then.\nI “met” both Sudila and Nirmalan before they arrived, but not through the admissions process itself. Instead, I handled some of their many post-admission questions. Nirmalan sent so many emails, in the summer before he enrolled, that his application file barely made it back into its alphabetic place before I needed to take it out again. Besides the details of preparing for graduate study, he was attending to less academic issues, such as his wedding. Sudila was admitted after submitting an Early Notification application. He and I were first in email contact when he asked if the school had expertise that might be helpful in his work following the tsunami in December 2004. I made some inquiries and was able to put him in touch with someone at the Feinstein International Center. Together they have made Sri Lanka a very visible island on our mental maps of the world.\nJason and Abdul will give the student commencement addresses. I plan to be there to see what they have to say, and to watch the joyful celebration of achievement that commencement represents. I’ll miss my favorite students, those named above and others in the class of 2007, but I still have favorites among the returning students, and there will be new favorites who start their studies in September. I’ll count on them to make their mark at Fletcher next year, to hang out in the Admissions Office, to learn a lot, and then move on.\nLast week we sat down to review our application. Are we getting the information we want? How can we make our questions clearer? Are we causing our applicants to waste time filling in answers we don’t really use?\nWe gave special attention to the essay questions. At any level, the essays are the most challenging part of an application. When our new application is posted, you’ll see that the first essay – the personal statement – hasn’t changed much. We still want to know what our applicants plan to do after Fletcher, and how their graduate study will help them get there.\nWe played a bit more with the second question. We wanted something new. Our applicants generally write these essays only once, but we read responses to “Describe a challenge you have faced” dozens of times each year, and we have used the same question for several years. What to ask instead?\nWe went back to our goals for the second essay. While answers to the personal statement should be essentially forward looking, the second essay gives applicants a chance to talk about the future, the present, or the past. Our hope is that the second essay will “flesh out” the applicant – will tell us something that helps us see him or her in the context of the Fletcher community. There’s no right answer to any essay question. (In the past, our application had the question, “Describe an object with which you would like to be photographed, and tell why.” The well-intentioned attempts to give us the answer we “wanted” included a majority of photographs with a backpack, hiking shoes, a passport, or a bookcase filled with international relations materials. Ugh.) Applicants should write about themselves, not about some version of themselves that they think Fletcher admissions would like to meet (if only because we’re not that predictable).\nI won’t reveal our new questions just yet. Better to wait until the new application is up and running. I can say, though, that applicants will have a bit more space to share their goals and stories. We’ve increased the word limits – but also will provide a type-size recommendation. Applicants can write a little extra, but we can save our eyesight.\nAs we head into the fall, we hope to put some application “tips” up in this area of the web site.

-{"text": "Rotora Brake System Performance on BMW M3 Racer Car\nSUBJECT: Rotora Brake System Performance on BMW M3 Racer Car.\nI thought it would be a good time to share some race and testing notes with you regarding the Rotora brakes I put on my race car. This is a pretty long post but if you are considering spending the money on a brake upgrade or if you want some insight into brake testing and race car preparation it's worth the read.\nI installed the Rotora BBK Front and Rear brakes on my modified E36 M3 race car. The kit consists of 355mm rotors and 6-pot calipers up front with 330mm rotors and 4-pot calipers in the rear. The E46 M3 kit is the same but comes with 355mm rotors front and rear. The kit comes with all the brackets, hardware, brake lines and pads. I chose the H6 (race) pads rather than the (H2) street pads. Initial fit and finish are excellent and the red calipers look awesome through the race wheels.\nA little background… Half-way through this season I finally had my car well sorted and started to win races (overall). The aero package, springs, remote reservoir dampers and the slicks all really started to work well together. The slicks are amazing and offer so much more grip then the other R-compound tires I was using that my old AP Racing brakes no longer seemed powerful enough for the application. I was also getting a bit of fade nearing the end of sessions.\nI had AP Racing Brakes on the car an was a bit hesitant at first to take them off and replace them with a different brand. I didn't want to have to get larger (Tilton dual) master cylinders to accommodate a huge brake upgrade. The front and rear Rotora BBK brake packages were the perfect solution because they do not require a master cylinder upgrade. Also, the huge AP Racing or Brembo Brakes would have literally cost thousands of dollars more in addition to the cost of the new master cylinders.\nBelow are race and testing notes from the first few times the brakes were used the track. These notes were taken from e-mails I sent to my Rotora contact. I've been working with Richie Ho who seems to be 1 part marketing, 1 part R&D and 1 part engineer. He has come through for me every time I needed something and is a very sharp guy.\nThere is a group buy going on now for the E46 M3. Details on that can be found here… http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=32691\nIf you have further questions for me about my experiences with Rotora brakes, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.org I have beat the hell out of them and they had stood up well in extreme racing environments.\nEvent #1 - BMW Oktoberfest Event July 2004\nThe car finished 3rd overall out of 40 cars at BMW’s Oktoberfest event at Fontana despite being 50hp to 100hp down on power to many of the front runners.\nThe brakes performed very well. Proportioning to my old brakes (AP Racing) was similar. Only minor changes to the proportioning and application needed to be made depending on fuel load and rear wing angle.\nThe pads broke in fine with little to no gassing out and no sensation of uneven pad transfer during break in. Initial bite seemed a bit soft. I like harder pads in general for racing but the softer pads did make it easier to trail brake and the braking \"feel\" was excellent which gave me confidence. The pads did firm up nicely after the first session.\nAfter the event was over and many sessions on the track, the rotors show no sign of wear - amazing. I will measure the pads for you and report back but I can tell just from looking at them that they have worn down a bit. The way they feel and the wear of the pads make me consider them a soft pad – which isn’t always a bad thing. They were quiet and consistent through the temp range.\nThe front rotors did have very slight normal and acceptable stress cracks – the rear rotors had no stress cracks at all. This is probably due to the fact that the front not only got hotter but that they were cooled with brake ducts which creates stress as the rotors go from very hot to cold so quickly and often.\nRotor temps were very low – like “really” low. I did not get a reading over 500 degrees all weekend with the laser pyrometer. I used tempilaq thermo-graphic paint at it indicates a max of 900 degrees – which is nothing (especially for California Speedway). I did have the brake ducts installed up front but will probably pull them for all other tracks other than Buttonwillow and Laguna (the harder braking tracks). When I took my E46 M3 street car to California Speedway last year I got brake rotor readings of 1200F with the stock brakes on the car - yikes!\nI will install a set of Thermax stickers and report back actual caliper temps after the next weekend of racing if you’d like.\nThe Rotora 6-pot front brakes are a bit heavier then the AP Racing 4-pot I was running. They are of course much bigger (something has to give). I’m wondering if the fronts are actually too big for my application. My car only has 280hp and weighs just 2400lbs. The E46 M3 cars have much more power and much more weight so they would benefit greatly from this huge brake kit. If I remove the brake ducting to get the temps up I wonder what the pad wear will be like?\nI think the brakes over all did pretty good in a very tough environment. Fontana is very tough on brakes not only because of the 4 hard brake zones per lap but because you are off the brakes all the way through the oval and by the time you need them most going into turn 3 they have cooled significantly.\nEvent #2 - Testing at Willow Springs with Beverly Hills Motor Car Club\nI instructed at the Beverly Hills Motor Car Club Event last weekend and took the car to test - and to toy with the exotics with (it's so fun to beat up on Ferraris). It took a few laps in the morning to reset brake bias as I have recently switched to even bigger rear slicks and wanted to make them work for me by pushing some of the brake bias to the rear of the car. I also took off some rear wing as well to help with straight line speed.\nThe front rotors never got above 425F as the brake temp paint did not change color from the prior event. I ran the car with no front brake cooling ducts as WSIR is easy on brakes. Again pedal feel was excellent and is important there as the braking for turn 3 is bumpy and the braking for turn 9 is, well… “check your balls time”.\nI was easily under 1:30 there but didn’t have a drafting buddy and didn't want to push it too much at a school. I did have fun playing with the Evosport E46 M3 race car driven by the company co-owner Brad Otoupalik. We always have fun together on the track when there is open passing - I trust his driving. He was on lesser rubber and stock brakes (testing for Grand-AM later this year) and I was able to pass him under braking anywhere I wanted. \"Go Rotora\" but the slicks and my lesser weight gave me the advantage as well.\nAs far as pad and rotor wear is concerned there was very little at that event. There was less dusting this time as well - almost none. I was only on track for about 2 hours total. Total pad thickness in front was .653 with a starting thickness of aprox .663 – so again, very little wear occurred.\nEvent #3 - California Speedway - Touring Car Club\nI was back at California Speedway this weekend for a Touring Car Club race against Ferrari's, Porsches and Vipers. I did have the front brake ducts hooked up as it was a hot day. I was going to take them off as a test but didn't want to take any chances as there was little time to test at this packed event and didn't want to potentially waste a session.\nI had to start last as I skipped the qualifying race to do a family thing. I worked my way through the pack and finished 12th out of 40 cars. A mid-race yellow helped me catch up to the leaders who got quite a lead as I was tending with slow traffic on the opening laps. I totally snaked a Viper and Porsche on the restart - good thing I did because the more I moved up the more difficult it was to pass the faster cars. I'd love to get a chance against those guys at Buttonwillow - they'd fall like a house of cards.\nBrake rotor temps approached 1000F – which is about right for that track and is a bit higher than the event done there about a month ago.\nRotor wear continues to be negligible - which still blows me away. At the rate I'm going I'll never have to replace the rotors!\nI ran the car aprox 125 miles total for the event at full-tilt-bogy. I was doing 1:48s which is my best effort by a second.\nThe starting thickness of the pads was .653” this is the thickness taken after the first event with those pads from Willow Springs. The ending pad thickness measured out to an average of .610” so the car used .043” of pads. The rear pad wear is as expected much less. Overall pad wear is not bad all considering it's the toughest track I know of on brakes short of Sebring.\nI hope the information I’ve been providing you has been helpful.\nVery cool, Ralph, thanks. :thumbup:\nGreat write up - thanks :thumbup:\nI just talked to a shop that sponsor me so I am passing along the saving to you guy.\nE46 M3- 6 Pistons BBK - $2095\nE36 M3- 4 Pistons BBK - $1600\nE36 M3- 6 Pistons BBK - $2090\nNo group buy..anytime as long as Rotora makes them.\nyes..those prices are for front only\nI went to the link for ROTORA BBK discount for E-46 and could not find how to purchase, also I can not find the # for ROTORA do you know??\n|All times are GMT -7.

-{"text": "Design Strategies for Cloud Hosted Services\nThe title phrase was made popular by Adam Savage of MythBusters fame (pictured to the right… the bunny is made of C4). However it is also motto to live by when designing and deploying services to run on a Cloud platform. We of course do not accept failure of our service but instead must insure our service stays despite failure of the Cloud it is hosted on. For the Cloud platform, failure is not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’\nBut what about SLAs?\nSLA (Service Level Agreement) is a legal agreement where the Cloud provider agrees to reimburse you a percentage of what you paid them if the Cloud fails to meet performance and availability criteria. So what? Will this compensate you for the loss of business you incur from an outage in your service? Let’s instead embrace failure, and design to overcome it.\nBe Redundant. If you have a single point of failure, then you are not redundant. For example on April 21, 2011 AWS (Amazon Web Services) had a major outage of their EC2 (cloud servers) and RDS (cloud database) systems. But look!\nWhile Virginia and other regions were down, not everywhere was down. If you took Amazon’s advice to deploy your service to two or more AZs (Availability Zones) you could still be running. I say could, because while Amazon’s guarantee is that failure will be limited to a single AZ, but in this case the failure actually spanned two. So the rewards go the cautious, like SmugMug, who deploy their service to three AZs and was “…minimally impacted, and all major services remained online during the AWS outage”\nThis of course works best when your services are stateless, but then what about your (necessarily stateful) data stores in the cloud? You have essentially two choices:\n- Do not use a relational database. For example NoSQL is a class of databases that are very adept at horizontal partitioning (that is having your data distributed across multiple servers). If you can tolerate eventual consistency across these partitions, which means that in the case of failure of one partition, there is a possibility of loss of data, then this is your solution.\n- Use a relational database if you need immediate consistency. If so, you’ll want to use one such as SQL Azure which supports sharding, which takes care of the horizontal partitioning data across multiple servers for you.\nOf course you can also attempt to roll your own hot-backup system, since most cloud platforms allow you to spin up servers and copy data easily. But this seems more appropriate for a disaster recover scenario, than a business continuity one.\nDesign your services to tolerate variance in responsiveness at any level of the stack. Cotenancy means you cannot control what others are doing with your underlying shared resources in the cloud. Therefore VoIP provider Twilio puts is succinctlym to succeed you need to:\n- Make a request, if that request returns a transient error or doesn’t return within a short period of time (the meaning of short depends on your application).\n- Retry the request to another instance of the service\n- Keep retrying within the tolerance of the upstream service.\nThe consequences of not doing this are slow latencies and lock-ups exposed to your end users.\nOne of the advantages of the cloud is that it is easy to spin up and deploy new instances of your service. SmugMug proudly exclaims:\nAny of our instances, or any group of instances in an AZ, can be “shot in the head” and our system will recover\nBy which they mean services are stateless and individual server instances are disposable and replaceable. When one dies, simply re-spawn!\nEven when all else fails, and your system is unable to respond to a request despite all of your design for failure, you must still respond. Netflix embraces this philosophy.\nEach system has to be able to succeed, no matter what, even all on its own.[…] If our recommendations system is down, we degrade the quality of our responses to our customers, but we still respond. We’ll show popular titles instead of personalized picks. If our search system is intolerably slow, streaming should still work perfectly fine.\nOh yeah, this is a testing blog, right? 🙂\nContinuing with our friends from Netflix, they employee two excellent test strategies for Cloud services:\n- Netflix Tests in Production (yay!) by employing a set of scripts called Chaos Monkey, to randomly disable service instances in their production AWS deployment. This is Destructive Testing. This is Fault Injection on steroids. This is smart since you know there will be failures, better to understand what your system will do on your terms than on the upcoming catastrophe’s.\n- Netflix also tests with full (or near full) scale AWS deployments of their services. The elasticity of the cloud means you can easily spin this up and then divert a copy of customer traffic to it, shadowing your production systems while you learn and investigate on the test system.\nAnd while the Cloud Provider has an obligation to keep you updated on the status of the underlying Cloud. You too have a responsibility to the users of your service. SmugMug considers part of their success at surviving the AWS outage was customer communication and incident management:\nWe updated our own status board, and then I tried to work around the problem…. 5 minutes [later] we were back in business\nThe Cloud offers powerful capabilities and cost savings to service providers. If you want to tap into these, and maintain a reliable and fault tolerant service, then Design for Failure.", "char_count": 5547, "token_count": 1386, "k_exact": 3.0235, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9518, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Posted by champ83 on 1/27/2012 11:23:00 AM (view original):\nI like the concept of being a passing team and switch to run if pass isn't working (i.e. defense is playing Pass defense), and vice versa.\nI would like to see consideration of additional changes as follows:\n1. set defense coverage in Man-to-man (either aggressive press coverage, or conservative off line of scrimmae; CBs are key defenders), or zone coverage (CBs, S, LBs all factor in coverage)\n2. set defense blitz level/type (basic blitz = 1 blitzer, multiple blitz = 2 blitzers, max blitz = 3 blitzers, also have a zone blitz)\n2a. set offensive blitz protection to either basic (no extra protection), moderate (TE/RB chip blocks, they go out for pass if not a heavy blitz), or max protection (TE/RB stay in to block and don't go out for pass)\n3. set defense line style to 1-gap (Defense needs better DL than LBs... DTs try to make plays, LBs have to fend of blocks) or 2-gap (Defense needs better LBs than DL... DTs occupy OL and don't make plays but LBs have free run and make the plays), you can recruit DL/LB to fit your style\n4. set O-line blocking to Zone blocking (OL requires BLK, GI, and Tech) or Man-to-man blocking (OL require BLK and Str), you can recruit OL to fit your style\n5. Offense can call individual plays, by setting a percentage of times they can each be used. Maybe have an inventory of 10 to 15 basic offensive plays. (For example, if there were 10 plays, a SIM team might set all of them to 10% each and run them equally). Called pass plays would determine the primary receiver, if he is covered and QB decides not to throw, it's as if current system is in place and QB makes another pass or scramble. Play-by-play results would need to identify play that was called (ex: \"QB incomplete pass to WR on skinny post\", \"RB rushes for 4 yards on draw\"), so defense could scout as if watching the plays on film.\nExample of play inventory would be:\nRB screen (more effective if defense is rushing the passer),\nBubble screen to WR (more effective when the defense playing off line of scrimmage or CB is poor tackler),\nCrossing pattern (more effective when DB/LB doesn't have GI to pick up in zone or DB doesn't have Speed to follow WR in man-to-man),\nDeep vertical \"go\" routes (more effective when WR has speed and/or DB doesn't),\nStop-and-go, Sluggos/slant-and-go, Out-and-up (WR needs Tech and Speed),\nOut/sideline patterns,can be deep or short (WR needs Tech to get feet in bounds, these also stop clock in hurry-up mode),\nPost/skinny post patterns (up to Safety to make play on WR),\nCurl routes/come-back/slant routes for possession receivers with little Speed/Elus but good hands,\nDraw to RB (more effective if defense is rushing the passer),\nZone read runs (either QB/RB carries, depending if Aggr run defense and DE charges then QB keeps, if Consv defense and thus DE slow plays then the QB hands off to RB),\nBasic RB inside runs (DTs and MLB defend) and outside runs (DE and OLB defend).\nQB draw (effective with running QB and/or blitzing defense)\nQB roll-outs (pass or run depending on GI and play available)\nI think this is my favorite ideas post - great stuff champ83.\nAs for #3) isn't the 4-3 supposed to be a 1-gap and the 3-4 supposed to be a 2-gap??? And if that is the case, it would sure be nice if the game engine took into account the different abilities required of the D-line and linebackers in both cases. Tailoring your O-line to either zone-blockers or man-blockers would also give an alternative to everyone gunning for just BLK-STR O-linemen. Athletic linemen with GI and TQ who had lower strength would then be sought after as well.\nA big problem with right now is that basically everyone is forced to recruit for the same strong cores in all the positions. It would make it a lot more interesting if the Cores at each position was more dependent on your style of offense and defense rather than just being generic as they are now.\nFor example, a WR out of WB or ND-Box sets (think Georgia Tech) wouldn't need great GI or TQ or even Elusiveness to a great degree but would certainly need Speed, Hands, Strength and blocking ability. A shotgun system would require WR's with a lot more GI and TQ and ELU, but maybe wouldn't ALL need as much speed or strength or any blocking to speak of.\nTHis would make recruiting way more interesting without you having to change the recruiting programming at all.", "char_count": 4405, "token_count": 1101, "k_exact": 2.8976, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9518, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "As a neuroscientist, one typically becomes accustomed to thinking outside of the “box.” After all, the brain is incredibly complex and cryptic, and some creative thought is required to develop methods to uncover its secrets.\nFrancis Crick advised that the greatest hurdle standing in the way of neuroscience is the inability to specifically stimulate a single neuron without altering any of its surrounding cells. This daunting task appears to be a thing of fantasy when considering the innumerable intricate connections the brain is composed of. However, Harvard University’s Samuel Lab has made a reality out of a dream with their groundbreaking research involving transgenic C. elegans. Recently published in Nature, the research of Dr. Andrew M Leifer and his team utilizes a manipulatory optogentics technique called ColBeRT to control the nervous system of a worm with the light from a laser.\nOptogenetics is the methodology of employing genetics and visible light to manipulate the activity of living cells. In order for optogenetics to be applicable in the laboratory, the insertion of opsin genes, which encode for light sensitive proteins, into an organism’s genome is necessary. The activity of the resulting opsin-containing cells can be regulated by exposure to visible light. Relative to the work of Leifer et al., optogenetics provides a platform by which the genetically altered motor and sensory neurons of C. elegans can be controlled with the use of a precise laser. Why use C. elegans? According to Leifer et al., “the nematode C. elegans is particularly amenable to optogenetics owing to its optical transparency, compact nervous system and ease of genetic manipulation.”\nThe ColBeRT (Controlling Locomotion and Behavior in Real-Time) technique, which was designed for the optogenetics research being done at The Samuel Lab, provides a way to specifically track a worm’s movement. A video camera with real-time feedback follows an illuminated and moving C. elegans under a dark field. The worm is placed on a motorized stage, which keeps the image of the organism centered in the camera’s view. Once the worm’s movement is recognized and registered by a specialized graphical user interface (GUI) software called MindControl, the image of the C. elegans is processed and the worm’s image is divided into 100 evenly spaced segments. From these segmented portions, specific target cells can be chosen, the locations of which are transferred to a DMD (digital micromirror device). This pattern is then projected onto the worm by the DMD, allowing for the illumination of the targeted points with a laser. This laser can precisely pinpoint the location of a specific target cell by a simple algorithm specifically designed for the movement analysis of C. elegans.\nThe impressive spatial and temporal resolution (~50 frames per second) of the ColBeRT technique makes the system scientifically applicable and valid. The ColBeRT’s spatial resolution of ~30ms allowed Leifer et al. to utilize the technique for a number of manipulatory actions on their transgenic nematodes. When cholinergic motor neurons of transgenic C. elegans were exposed to laser light, forward motor movement was suppressed and either paralysis or backward movement of the worm was propagated. Similarily, single touch receptors of the worms were also genetically modified to be sensitive to light. In a normal worm, a gentle touch will stimulate these receptors, causing the worm to repel in the opposite direction of movement. In transgenic C. elegans, illuminating these specific receptors with the light from a laser was able to affect the direction of the worm’s movement, just as a physical stimulus would have. Even more astounding, HSNs (hermaphrodite specific neurons), which innervate the vulval region of C. elegans, were also able to be genetically modified and stimulated with light exposure. When a thin laser strip was shone on the HSN region of the worms, involuntary egg-laying was evoked.\nAlthough still in its beginning stages, the ColBeRT technique seems to be a promising solution to overcoming one of the primary difficulties standing in the way of neuroscience. ColBeRT not only highlights cell-to-cell interactions, but also identifies the precise actions of specific neurons, something that had never been thought possible in the past. As technology develops further, perhaps we will soon be able to manipulate the cells of more complex organisms and eventually, even mammals. Optogenetics and techniques like ColBeRT may be the key to discovering the subtleties of different neurons and could even potentially help map out the human brain.\nSingle Worm Neurons Remotely Controlled with Lasers – Scientific American\nThe Samuel Lab videos – Vimeo", "char_count": 4756, "token_count": 1189, "k_exact": 2.6977, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.908, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

But when the votes from the Professional Hockey Writers' Association were counted Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason, Anaheim Ducks forward Bobby Ryan and Chicago Blackhawks forward Kris Versteeg\nThe 2009 NHL Awards will be broadcast live from the Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Hotel Las Vegas on June 18 on VERSUS in the United States and CBC in Canada.\nIn addition to being Calder finalists, another common bound among the trio is they want to make a difference for their clubs.\nBased on their play during the regular season, they did just that. All three played important roles in helping their teams make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It's doubtful that the Ducks or Blue Jackets would have made the playoffs without their rookie stars, while Versteeg was the key to the Blackhawks' sharp start this season.\nVersteeg and Ryan have another thing in common, they both believe their team is better off with the puck on their stick. Both are excellent skaters and puckhandlers who like to carry the puck into shooting situations and fire away. Both have had to learn to rely more on their teammates and that has been part of their growth this season.\nMason, Ryan and Versteeg each overcame earlier disappointments to prove their merits in the NHL. Ryan and Mason started the season in the minors. Mason was buried four years ago by a Junior B coach, but switched teams and continued his progression. An impatient Ryan returned two more seasons to juniors after being drafted second overall in 2005, while Versteeg was traded from his drafting club for -- the ultimate putdown -- a career minor leaguer.\nSteve Mason, Columbus Blue Jackets\n-- To put it in historical context, Mason's rookie season rivaled or exceeded those of Calder winners Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Tony Esposito, Roger Crozier, Glenn Hall, Terry Sawchuk and Frankie Brimsek. His 10 shutouts led the NHL, the first rookie leader since Esposito had 15 in 1970.\nMason ranked second with a 2.29 save percentage, eighth with 3,664 minutes, ninth with 33 wins, 10th with 61 games and 11th with a .916 save percentage. He led all rookie goalies in every category except save percentage, finishing second to the .917 posted by Nashville's Pekka Rinne, whose fine season included seven shutouts.\nMason started the season with the AHL Syracuse Crunch after knee surgery last April. He was called up after six games and won his first three starts. Mason was 9-5-1 after stopping 48 shots, his season high, in a Dec. 17 win over the San Jose Sharks. His season best four-game winning streak from Dec. 27-Jan. 2 included three shutouts.\nMason got better as the season went along. He had a 2.72 GAA after five games, but had it down to a season-low 1.66 on Jan. 2. While it rose to 2.29 at season's end, his save percentage remained the same since Feb. 21, suggesting he was consistent and playing a little better than his teammates.\nMason won three games against the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings after the NHL All-Star Game, including a 46-save effort March 7 in an 8-2 victory at Joe Louis Arena that his coach considers the most important in franchise history.\nBobby Ryan, Anaheim Ducks\n-- For three years, the Ducks and Ryan endured the tease: Who was drafted second behind Sidney Crosby in the 2005 Entry Draft and where is he now? Ryan followed the normal progression of two more junior seasons and a year in the AHL.\nNow, he's the first West Coast player to lead the NHL rookie scoring race since Luc Robitaille in 1986-87. Ryan led all NHL rookies with 31 goals and 57 points, and he spotted the field 18 games. Ryan had to start the season in the AHL because the Ducks couldn't fit him into their salary cap.\nAfter producing 5 goals and 10 points in 23 games with the Ducks a year ago, Ryan underwent an intensive summer conditioning program, dropping his body fat from 19 to 7 percent and shedding 20 pounds to 207. He also eliminated the high-risk elements of his game to become a reliable two-way player.\nRyan is a powerful 6-foot-2 winger and he plays a skilled game. He had an impressive 17.8 shooting percentage from 174 shots. Ryan led the Ducks with a plus-13 rating and 12 power-play goals, 17th in the NHL. He was 27th in goals and second on the Ducks behind Corey Perry's 32 goals.\nCoach Randy Carlyle moved Ryan around the lineup, mostly second- and third-line shifts in the beginning, as well as left and right wing, before giving him increased responsibilities. Ryan wound up playing left wing on the first line with Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.\nThe Ducks were 12th in the Western Conference with 10 games to go but got strong performances from the top line down the stretch. Getzlaf had 14 points, Perry 13, and Ryan had 11, including seven goals.\nKris Versteeg, Chicago Blackhawks\n-- For a rising team trying to market a new identity, Versteeg was a Godsend. Of course, his 22 goals and 31 assists, fourth in team scoring was Important, but Versteeg brought an alternately witty and off-the-wall sense of humor into the dressing room. Check the Web for some of his teammate-teasing videos, the teammates' responses, and his dressing-room rap session.\nThere's no question there was tension in Chicago at the start of the season – the Hawks fired coach Denis Savard after only four games -- but Versteeg's early timely scoring and wit helped alleviate the pressure. He had 7 goals and 20 points in the first 20 games. His scoring slowed during the second half, but he finished with three points in the final four games.\nVersteeg is on the smallish side at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds. He's had success playing the wing with center Dave Bolland\nand Patrick Sharp\nVersteeg uses short, choppy strides and unpredictable changes of direction to make room for his outstanding puckhandling ability. He can carry the puck through traffic and resembles a basketball point guard in his ability to penetrate from the perimeter to the net. He learned to use his teammates to greater benefit during the course of the season.\nVersteeg led NHL rookies with 31 assists and was eighth on the Blackhawks. His 22 goals and plus-15 rating ranked fourth among NHL rookies. Versteeg led the Blackhawks and tied for fourth in the NHL with four shorthanded goals. Ryan and Versteeg tied for second among NHL rookies with three game-winning goals.", "char_count": 6475, "token_count": 1618, "k_exact": 2.9392, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9591, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The report finds related increases in asylum claims among Tunisians, Ivorians and Libyans (4,600, 3,300 and 2,000 claims respectively), but overall the impact of these events on application rates in industrialized countries has been limited.\nTaking the 44 countries surveyed in the report as a whole, the main countries of origin of asylum-seekers remained largely unchanged from previous surveys: Afghanistan (15,300 claims), China (11,700 claims), Serbia [and Kosovo: Security Council Resolution 1244] (10,300 claims), Iraq (10,100 claims) and Iran (7,600 claims).\n\"2011 has been a year of displacement crises unlike any other I have seen in my time as High Commissioner,\" said UNHCR chief António Guterres. \"Their impact on asylum claims in industrialized countries seems to have been lower so far than might have been expected, as most of those who fled went to neighbouring countries.

Mica, R-FL, and 39 cosponsors)\nThe Administration strongly opposes H.R 2018 because it would significantly undermine the Clean Water Act (CWA) and could adversely affect public health, the economy, and the environment.\nUnder the CWA, one of the Nation’s most successful and effective environmental laws, the Federal Government acts to ensure safe levels of water quality across the country through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since the enactment of the CWA in 1972, the Federal Government has protected the waterways our citizens depend on by using its checks and balances authority to review and adjust key State water pollution control decisions, where necessary, to assure that they reflect up to date science, comply with the law, and protect downstream water users in other States. H.R. 2018 would roll back the key provisions of the CWA that have been the underpinning of 40 years of progress in making the Nation’s waters fishable, swimmable, and drinkable.\nH.R. 2018 could limit efforts to safeguard communities by removing the Federal Government’s authority to take action when State water quality standards are not protective of public health. In addition, it would restrict EPA’s authority to take action when it finds that a State’s CWA permit or permit program is inadequate and would shorten EPA’s review and collaboration with the Army Corps of Engineers on permits for dredged or fill material. All of these changes could result in adverse impacts to human health, the economy, and the environment through increased pollution and degradation of water bodies that serve as venues for recreation and tourism, and that provide drinking water sources and habitat for fish and wildlife.\nH.R. 2018 would disrupt the carefully constructed complementary CWA roles for EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers, and States in protecting water quality. It also could eliminate EPA’s ability to protect water quality and public health in downstream States from actions in upstream States, and could increase the number of lawsuits challenging State permits. In sum, H.R. 2018 would upset the CWA’s balanced approach to improve water quality across the Nation, risking the public health and economic benefits of cleaner waters.\nIf the President is presented with this legislation, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.\n* * * * * * *\nAssociate Director for Policy Outreach\nWhite House Council on Environmental Quality", "char_count": 2642, "token_count": 660, "k_exact": 3.7539, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8285, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "How did it all begin? We hear that often and the truth be told, there was no great business plan or any plan at all, really, just a comment, a thought, an item on a bucket list. In October of 2011 at a home brewers’ gathering held at the farm of Jane and Craig Deitz, Craig planted the seed with a comment to his friend, Brad Paulson, about a desire to have a micro-brewery on Green Bluff. Brad’s response, “I’m in”.\nAnd so it began. With collectively over 50 years of home brewing experience between them, Craig’s background in chemistry and Brad’s expertise in construction, a friendship became a partnership. Over a beer on a snowy winter’s day, Craig drew a schematic of the lay out of the brewery system. With the help of family and friends, construction of the big barn took place in the summer of 2012. As fate would have it, the building of the barn itself inspired daughter-in-law, Camille Dietz, to suggest the name – “Big Barn Brewing Company”. A soft opening took place for Oktoberfest 2012 and the response to a brewery on Green Bluff was overwhelmingly positive. The summer of 2013 brought home brew enthusiasts to the bluff in droves, arriving in cars, motorcycles, bicycles and limousines. Continuing to brew on two nano systems the two home brewers struggled to keep up with the demand, sometimes brewing five batches a week. With the installation of a seven barrel system in early 2014, Big Barn was able to move into full production that summer.\nOur goal is to be self-sustaining, using farm produce from the Deitzes’ own farm as well as the surrounding farms, and has resulted in the production of such brews as our Blackberry Porter, Pumpkin Ale andour newest addition, a cherry kolsch. With Craig’s original drawing on display in our rustic tap house, Craig and Brad continue to do all of the brewing with their original mission statement always close at heart – to brew the best beer in the world.\nBlack Dog Stout - Pets, especially great dogs, are wonderful gifts in our lives. At our farm we have Nandi, a black lab and Chesapeake Bay mix. This laid back dog loves life, her family and visitors to the farm. Our Black Dog Stout is meant to deliver that same relaxed attitude to those who fill a mug with this deep, rich chocolate, caramel blend. Add a hint of fine brewed coffee and you can’t help but smile.

Our honey lager is a clean, crisp brew which sparkles and effervesces so as to belie the fact that this, too, is a naturally unfiltered Big Barn brew. Washington 2-row barley blends nicely with cascade hops to make this a unique and exceptional lager.\nABV: 5.3% IBU: 22\nBluff Top Belgian - Belgian is a style based on its site of origin. This Belgian is a bluff top original. Our local farm Belgian captures the same country charm which made Belgians unique.

Very lighted hopped, this ale is our lowest in alcohol content but is still big on flavor.

-{"text": "Graham Reid | | 1 min read\nThis unfocused and largely haphazard film -- part travel footage, part film of reggae artists, some political subtext hinted at -- dates from 1980 when French filmmaker Bonn took a camera to Jamaica and the streets of black Britain.\nThere is considerable footage where the camera is looking out the window of a vehicle which travels though the Third World streets of somewhere in Jamaica (presumably Kingston) -- but the real jewels here are Toots and the Maytals captured in a recording studio where Toots is incendiary, and later the magnificent Congos singing Row Fisherman Row on a beach accompanied only by an acoustic guitar.\nThese extended sequences (there is also solo Toots singing deeply soulful blues, interview with Cedric Myton of the Congos and more footage of them singing material from their classic Heart of the Congos album) are the ones to fast-forward to, they are utterly gripping.\nThe interviews on the streets of black Britain seem designed to confirm that the second generation over from Jamaica were having it tough, which was hardly news even then. Linton Kwesi Johnson, Steel Pulse and others had been saying so.\nThe film quality isn't the best and filming people with black skin in dark rooms is never the smartest idea, but the soundtrack and the often impenetrable talk of Jah keeps the attention.\nSo this is uneven and certainly not the lost classic that some may have it. But it does have important period footage of Jamaica -- and those thrilling sequences with Toots and the Congos.

The Federal Reserve and other banking regulators have granted banks a two-year grace period to come into compliance with the Volcker Rule. That's one of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill passed a couple of years ago. It restricts American banks from making trades that put the bank and depositor funds at risk.\nBut as NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports, regulators are struggling to iron out the details.\nYUKI NOGUCHI, BYLINE: The principle of the Volcker Rule - named after former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker - is to restrict a bank from taking too many risks with its own proprietary trading. But as a practical matter, defining what is risky is fraught with more questions. How risky, exactly is too risky? Would, for example, investments in government bonds - once considered very safe, now be considered risky?\nNancy Bush is contributing editor to trade publication SNL Financial.\nNANCY BUSH: It's a nightmare. To me, it just illustrates the degree of complexity and the degree to which quote, \"safe\" activities and quote, \"non-safe\" activities in the banking industry are so difficult to differentiate.\nNOGUCHI: The Volcker Rule and other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act were to go into effect this July.

-{"text": "Since the season ended, I’ve been asked several times whether the Orioles are going to get an ace this offseason.\nMy answer is no. I don’t even hesitate. The reasoning is simple. There are no true aces on the market (Matt Garza? Japan’s Masahiro Tanaka? Hiroki Kuroda?), the Orioles likely wouldn’t offer a five-year-plus deal even if there were an ace available, and they don’t have the farm system to deal for a No. 1.\nIt’s part philosophy and part supply and demand.\nThe Orioles have never given a free-agent pitcher a contract longer than three years. And I don’t see them doing it now. Not with the current ownership and not with the current front office. And not with so many examples of big-money pitchers being worth the money for about half of their contracts and being a financial albatross for the rest of it.\nThe reality is that most teams, including the Orioles, can’t pay for five years to get two or three good years and two or three lost ones from a starting pitcher. Teams like the New York Yankees can bury those mistakes, but most can’t. The majority of teams need to grow their own aces or trade for someone with potential and hope to get lucky.\nThink I’m talking the party line?\nConsider the list of the 27 pitchers who have started a division series playoff game this October (Clayton Kershaw started two):\nDetroit (Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez); Oakland (Bartolo Colon, Sonny Gray, Jarrod Parker); Boston (Jon Lester, John Lackey, Clay Buchholz); Tampa Bay (Matt Moore, David Price, Alex Cobb); Pittsburgh (A.J. Burnett, Gerrit Cole, Francisco Liriano, Charlie Morton); St. Louis (Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly, Michael Wacha); Los Angeles Dodgers (Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Hyun-Jin Ryu); and Atlanta (Kris Medlen, Mike Minor, Julio Teheran and Freddy Garcia).\nOf that group, 15 of the 27 are homegrown and have not been with any other organization. Nine of those 15 were drafted in the first round or supplemental first round by their current clubs. Only one of the 15 was an international amateur (Teheran).\nIt would be 16 of 27 if we threw Ryu into that group, but he was an international professional purchased from Korea (for six years and $36 million), so he’s in a category by himself. Also in a category of his own is Garcia, whom the Orioles sold to the Braves in August because he was in the minor leagues and wasn’t going to pitch in the major leagues for the Orioles again.\nSix others who started games in the division series originally were obtained by their current clubs via trades, including Burnett, who signed one of those disastrous free-agent contracts with the Yankees before they dumped him, and Sanchez, who has since signed a big deal with the Tigers but first went to Detroit in a trade from Miami.\nThat leaves four of the 27 who were obtained via free agency: Colon, Lackey, Liriano and Greinke. Lackey’s free-agent deal was considered a bust before this season; Colon and Liriano were under-the-radar free agents; Greinke’s six-year, $147 million deal was a headline-grabber.\nMy point: It’s rare when those huge free-agent pitching contracts pan out. The teams that get to the postseason consistently are the ones that know how to draft and develop pitching.\nThat, of course, is the subject for another day when it comes to the Orioles.", "char_count": 3319, "token_count": 829, "k_exact": 2.4284, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8454, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Cat PDA Vs. Human PDA, And Other Animal Behavior Explained\nFrom feisty kittens to pacing cheetahs, Vint Virga knows animal behavior.\nA veterinarian who specializes in behavioral medicine, Virga has treated many household pets in his clinic. But for the past five years he has been working mostly with leopards, wolves, bears, zebras and other animals living in zoos and wildlife parks. He deals with such issues as appetites, anxiety and obsessive behavior.\n\"I'm always trying to provide every single animal I come into contact with ... with the opportunity to invent and think and discover on their own,\" Virga tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross.\nVirga's book, The Soul of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human, was recently published in paperback. It explains how animals demonstrate mindfulness, forgiveness and adaptability — and what we can learn from them.\nVirga talks about how house cats, like lions, are more fulfilled when they forage for food — and how animals express affection differently than we might think.\nOn making cats forage for food\nProbably the most important thing I stress to all my clients is to think about what the cat would do if they were living in nature. They would have to actually hunt for food. While we can't put out lizards and mice to run around in our house, we can portion out the food and make it more challenging and interesting for the cat to actually find.\nI take my clients through a program of actually teaching their cats to forage for their food. Yeah, it isn't live, but they've got to go on the hunt or the prowl throughout the house, and the locations in which they're going to find the meal scattered about in the house ... are going to be different every day. And cats find that very stimulating and very interesting — it adds a lot of richness to their lives.\nOn how cats show affection differently from humans\nWe need to step out of what we consider are the appropriate behaviors as humans and try to put ourselves in an animal's footsteps. ... Affection is shown by being cuddly and lovey for a lot of us — not necessarily all of us — [so we often think] that our cats would want to be cuddled and loved.\nInstead, a lot of cats, if you actually watch their natural behavior when they're in groups, the most affectionate cats might be sitting near each other. They might sit with their tails intertwined, rear to rear, but they're not usually face to face, nose to nose, or snuggled up next to each other.\n... That says that cats feel comfort and they express their emotions in ways differently than we do. If that's true, then what behooves us [as] ... their caretakers and human family members, is to learn about what it is that cats think and feel rather than [imposing] what we think and feel upon them.\nOn reading animal behavior at the zoo\nUsually I like to spend a fair amount of time sitting outside an animal's habitat and watching them, without trying to interact with them in any way, so I can understand as much about their behavior as possible — how they relate to other animals in their habitat, what they do in their time.\nIt's one thing to see a wolf, for example, pacing alongside the edge of their habitat at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon when they're starting to anticipate that their afternoon meal might be coming. It's a very different thing if I see a wolf pacing around after their morning meal, before the zoo visitors have started to enter, because they reflect very different behaviors.\nOne, we're talking about a wolf that's anticipating something and starting to get a little bit anxious or excited; and the other, we're talking about a wolf that even after his appetite and hunger needs have been met, he's still choosing to pace. That reflects something very different in behavior.\nOn how zoos have changed to improve the animals' well-being\nI think the most important things that zoos have done in the past 10, 20 years, is that they [have] focused primarily on the animal's well-being. And, depending on their feedback and responses, looked at their behavior, looked at their overall happiness and contentment, and used that as the gauge for what to do for the animal.\nThey've also applied as much [as] science knows about the animals in nature. What that looks like is providing them with a space that's a lot more rich and full than just a place that is an exhibit. So it's really shifting from not a cage, because most zoos don't even have those anymore, but from an exhibit to a habitat. The environment is much richer and more complex rather than flat and uniform, so that we can see them.\n[Zoos are] providing [animals with] opportunities to escape from view of the public — and that can be difficult for a zoo. ... Visitors complain to the zoo if they can't see the leopard, the bear or the lion. But on the other hand, if the lion doesn't have any choice of getting away from the public at times, particularly if there [are] crowds or noisy visitors, then we're taking away their sense of control over their environment.\nOn captive-born zoo animals\nIt is important to realize ... that most animals in zoos nowadays are captive-born. They are not, by and large, taken from the wild. Usually it's a number of generations that we would have to trace back to any type of direct wild animal.\n... It becomes a constant effort by zoos, that is, supervised in a very strict fashion in terms of making sure that these animals are not inbred, to maintain diversity in the population, and yet what we are dealing with [are] ... animals that are to some degree different than their wild cousins.\nThey lose some of those instincts by ... not having predators and the pressures of the world that they're being exposed to — from habitat loss and pollution and so on. They also are gaining other traits in that they're constantly getting this affiliation or connection to humans. I'm touched by the relationships that I witness every day between keepers and the animals in their care.\nTERRY GROSS, HOST:\nThis is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. When Dr. Vint Virga makes his rounds, it's at a zoo. He's a veterinarian who specializes in behavioral medicine. He's treated many pet dogs and cats, but for the past five years he's mostly been working with leopards, wolves, bears, zebras, and other animals living in zoos and wildlife parks.

And, he just seemed to be hungry all the time - and we realized that he probably didn't get fed that much, you know at the shelter. It was a great shelter; but nevertheless. But he would just like, meow constantly, wanting food, and you'd feed him and then - he'd meow - he'd want more food. So we've been trying to figure out what's the best way of starting to, like, regulate his diet. Is it, like, a couple of big meals a day, and then you get no more? Or there's also - a lot of people do the - I think it's called, like, free - free feeding - is that what it's called? Where there's, like, a bowl of dry food out all the time and the cat just eats when he or she wants to, and there's a finite amount of food per day, and that's you get.\nVIRGA: Yes. Well, and you can imagine free feeding is probably the furthest from natural. A feral cat living on a dairy farm, or out in nature would not have a free choice of eating food whenever he or she wanted to. So what I really encourage clients to do, is to at the very least, divide their meals into a number of portions, and spread those throughout different times a day. If we have a kitty that we're dealing with that likes to get up in the middle of the night and wake the family members up early in the morning, that's particularly important to give them a meal as close to bedtime as possible, because you're giving them an option to eat during the night, and they'll probably be a tiny bit less motivated in the morning. But probably the most important things I stress to all my clients is to think about what the cat would do if they were living in nature. They would have to actually hunt for food, and while we can't put out lizards and mice to run around our house, we can portion out the food and make it more challenging, and interesting for the cat to actually find. So I take my clients through a program of actually teaching their cats to forage for their food. Yeah, it isn't live, but they've got to go out on the hunt or the prowl throughout the house, and the locations in which they're going to find the meals scattered about in the house or portioned out in the house. They're going to be different every day, and that - that - cats find that very stimulating, and very, very interesting. It adds a lot of richness to their lives.\nGROSS: So like, where do you suggest hiding the food?\nVIRGA: Oh, my goodness, everywhere from closets, to allowing certain shelves on a bookshelf, behind cabinets, behind the television, or entertainment center. Underneath dressers if there's enough crawlspace, inside boxes that they would actually have to either open, or inside balls that they would roll around and the food would actually drop out. Food can be put in something as simple as a - the cardboard tube inside a roll of toilet paper, and then taped up, punched with a few holes, and the cat would actually have to roll the tube around in order to get the food out.\nGROSS: I guess if you're not vigilant about cleaning up all those places where you put the food, the cat might soon have real vermin to chase (laughing)?\nVIRGA: (Laughing) I guess so. But if you put it in small portions, in five or six different places of the house, most people are - find that the cat is very, very thorough in terms of cleaning up everything. And the food doesn't have to be on a rug, or on the floor. It can be in a saucer, it can be in a cup, it can be in a little bowl, or; as I said before - a ball or a box.\nGROSS: Do you recommend this for all cats, or just cats who are having some kind of eating problem?\nVIRGA: I really recommended it for all cats. And what it is, is it's really just carrying over what I do with zoo animals over to the family situation. Within the zoo, the keepers are constantly looking for new ways to encourage the animals to invent, and explore, and interact with their environment. And consistently, and reliably, what we find is that those are the animals that live the most fulfilled lives, and seem to be the most emotionally healthy.\nGROSS: So how do you make sure you're not reinforcing bad behavior? Like if your dog barks, or whines, and it wants something? Or, your cat meows and it wants something? Part of you wants to give it to them because you love your animal, and you want to make them happy. But then, you don't want to encourage them to be nagging - you know - to be nagging all the time that they want something, and meowing or barking all the time.\nVIRGA: Right. So it really becomes a matter of timing. If we reinforce them, if we give them what they want - even if we don't give them what they want, and we give them just our attention - at a time right after they've done a behavior that they're hoping to get something out of, then what we're doing is reinforcing the behavior. And what instead I recommend is that we actually do our best to hold off on our instinct to respond to them, until they stop. If that behavior's really ingrained, it may take a while for them to stop. It may be just for a moment that they finally stop whining, or barking, or meowing. But at that moment, if we take the opportunity then to reinforce them with affection, or attention, or praise, or food, then what we end up doing is giving them a pretty clear message, and they figure it out pretty quickly, that - ah, so now if I'm quiet, or if I'm not demanding, whatever it is I want, that's when I'm actually going to get it.\nGROSS: Do you think it's a good idea to, like, feed your animal before they're asking for it so that you're not reinforcing the meowing or the barking?\nVIRGA: Yeah. Yeah, that falls in the category of preventing. And prevention is wonderful because what it does is it helps to solve the problem before it's actually happened.\nVIRGA: So that's the same thing as, for example, the cat that's active at three in the morning. One of the things you can do is put out food in several different, hidden spots in the house before you go to bed. And that gives them something to do when they wake up in the middle of the night.\nGROSS: I want to ask you about children. A lot of people have pets and children. And sometimes the pets and the children get along famously; other times, they don't. And sometimes the children can actually scare the pets. And you write about an example like that where a married couple got two kittens, two sisters. And after that, they had a baby, a daughter. And eventually, one of the cats became a hermit, hid all the time. And you figured out that that had to do with the way the daughter was playing with the cats. Tell us what the problem was.\nVIRGA: Well, their daughter was about two years old. And at that age, she was rather rambunctious and energetic. And she had a particular fondness for her kitties. In fact, her kitties were her favorite thing in the whole world. And if she had the - if she had her druthers, she would rather spend time playing with the cats than doing anything else. And the way in which she played was a little bit loud and boisterous and rough. And she hadn't really learned the subtleties and nuances of the signals that her kitties were saying to her - or conveying to her. So one of the cats was very tolerant and accepting of that, but the other cat became very reclusive and hid from her. What was going on was that she was just literally running in every time she saw them and screaming, kitty, kitty, kitty and chasing them throughout the house.\nVIRGA: If you or I were a little cat and we had someone chasing after us that way, we might want to hide too.\nGROSS: So what did you do to solve the problem?\nVIRGA: Well, two things. I helped them to appreciate the nature of the problem. And they didn't quite appreciate how their daughter's love and enthusiasm for the kitties really was bringing about this behavior. So part of it was education. But really, the main two things we did is we gave the cat an opportunity to be with the family without hiding - but be with the family in a safe way. So what we actually gave her was safe, elevated perches that were out of their daughter's reach in the most common places in the household that the family would gather -in the eating area, in the living room and then in the daughter's bedroom. And then, the other thing we did was that we taught the daughter a game that I called Whisper Kitty. And what I actually taught her to do was instead of - taking that incredible enthusiasm she had for her kitties and instead play game of, every time she was excited to see the kitties, she would tiptoe and walk softly and slowly and then whisper to the kitties. And she caught on to this. This, to her, was a marvelous, new game. And the kitties responded dramatically in a very short timeframe.\nGROSS: You know, you write in your book, impassioned cuddles and kisses are human, not traits we see in the feline world. So what does that tell us about how to express our love for our cats and what not to do?\nVIRGA: I think what it tells us, with respect to our cats as well as every species, is that we need to step out of what we consider are the appropriate behaviors as humans and try to put ourselves in an animal's footsteps or an animal's shoes, so to speak. Instead of thinking that for us, affection is shown by being cuddly and lovey for a lot of us - not necessary all of us - that our cats would want to be cuddled and loved. And instead, a lot of cats, if you actually watch their natural behavior when they're in groups, the most affectionate cats might be sitting near each other. They might sit with their tails intertwined, rear-to-rear. But they're not usually face-to-face, nose-to-nose, or snuggled up next to each other a lot. That says that cats feel comfort and they express emotion, their emotions, in ways differently than we do. And if that's true, then what behooves us as being their caretakers and human family members is to learn about what it is that cats think and feel rather than superimposing what we think and feel upon them.\nGROSS: If you're just joining us, my guest is Dr. Vint Virga. He's a veterinarian who specializes in behavioral medicine. He works with pets as well as zoo animals. And he's the author of the book \"The Soul Of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human.\" Let's take a short break here, and then we'll talk some more. This is FRESH AIR.\nGROSS: This is FRESH AIR. If you're just joining us, my guest is Dr. Vint Virga, a veterinarian who specializes in behavioral medicine. In addition to treating cats and dogs, he consults with zoos and wildlife parks on the care and feeding of animals. So you knew when you were young that you wanted to work with animals. You always loved animals, you had cats and dogs as a child - but you're working with zoo animals now and you - you didn't have lions, and tigers, and giraffes, and elephants as a child. How do you learn about the behavior of so many different kinds of animals that there's no - no way you could have been really exposed to outside of visiting them in zoos when you were - you know, before you became a veterinarian?\nVIRGA: Yes well, that's a really good question. When I - when I started in my behavioral medicine residencies at Cornell - part of behavioral medicine residency requires that you spent time with zoo animals. But I came out of that residency program thinking, oh boy how am I going to be able to work with zoo animals. I - I'll stick to what I feel is most comfortable and what I know best. However, when I got an opportunity to see a polar bear at a zoo fairly early on in my behavioral part of my crew, all I could do was take what I knew about behavior of animals in general and - and take it to the polar bear's side to try to figure what was going on with that particular bear. And as I got invited to start visiting more and more animals at zoos, I started to see some rather distinctive patterns and - and that is that they're definitely differences between giraffe behavior and - and leopard behavior - and between wolf behavior and tortoise behavior - but at the same time there're a lot more commonalities than - than we would actually think exists. I can't even to this day tell you that I - I can know what - what I'm going to see when I'm dealing with species that I haven't dealt with. But it's a matter of taking what I do know and then taking the time to - to really observe and listen and - and then put the two together to try to understand what's going on for that animal.\nGROSS: When you're making the rounds at a zoo what do you do? What are you looking for?\nVIRGA: Well, what I love to do if I had my druthers is - is come before anybody else at the zoo. Because I can usually see the animal's behavior a whole lot better than before - than when visitors are starting to come into the zoo. But usually I like to spend a fair amount of time sitting outside an animal's habitat and watching them, without trying to interact with them in any way, so I can understand as much about the behavior as possible - how they relate to other animals in their habitat, how - what they do in their time. It's one thing to see a wolf for example pacing outside - pacing alongside the edge their habitat at about three o'clock in the afternoon when they're starting to anticipate that their afternoon meal might be coming. And it's a very different thing if I see a - a wolf pace around after their morning meal before the zoo visitors have started to enter because they - they reflect very different behaviors. One we're talking about a wolf that's - that's anticipating something and starting to get a little bit anxious or excited. And the other were talking about a wolf that even after his appetite and hunger needs have been met, he still is choosing to pace. That reflects something very different in behavior.\nGROSS: So you've listened to a lot of wolves howl and try to understand what they're saying to each other. What can you tell us about what you've learned about how wolves communicate through howling?\nVIRGA: Well, I think that we think of wolves communicating - if you think of a how, if you try to translate it into words - we can't take animals, including wolves' signals, and try to translate them into sentences. But what we can see for example with wolf howls, is that they vary in pitch, and frequency, and tenor and duration, and they're used between wolf groups to communicate when - when individuals of a pack will - will separate to go on their nighttime hunt - they use it as a way to communicate with each other where they're located, and also where to check in with each other, and to also to reunite at the end of the day.\nGROSS: Something you wrote in your book leads me to believe that you are good at mimicking some kinds of meows, and understanding some of the variations in meaning that accompany it.\nVIRGA: Well - well, yes. So there's been all sorts of scientific studies that have looked at cat vocalizations and tried to categorize them. And I think in general though, what I tell people is you know better frankly than anyone. When your cat does certain vocalizations what they're - what they're saying to you - if there chirping or meowing in a certain way, it's probably because they want your attention. You notice a very different purring type of sound oftentimes when they're content and they are laying on your lap. But to dissect it and break it down into individual vocalizations, while it can be useful, I also don't know how practical it is in the real world.\nGROSS: Does this mean I'm not going to get you to meow.\nVIRGA: (Laughing) If you really want me to, I'll meow.\nGROSS: I really want you to.\nVIRGA: (Laughing) OK. Well, let's see for example I could give an example of our two Norwegian Forest Cats. They're very, very different terms of their vocalization. Our - our male is very quiet - he's a Norwegian Forest cat so is rather big, he's around 16 pounds, which is - which is a big but not heavy size - not overweight size for a Norwegian Forest cat. And when he wants attention he'll go (imitating cat) budururrr, and do little tiny chirps. If he is distressed about something - if I were for example come over and go Fritz, I haven't seen you in forever, I've been on a trip for a week, and I come up to him and instead of stroking him, which I know he likes, I just have to give that little human hug and - and he doesn't like it he most likely is going to go [imitation of cat noise] orrrerrrrow, and you know, run away. Our little girl on the other hand, Clara, when she wants attention she almost sounds a little bit like a yowling Siamese and she will sometimes be up in the - especially if I have been writing for hours and ignoring them, and I'm at my desk, she will go just out of reach in the hallway to where I can't see here and then start going (imitating cat) rowwww, rowwww, rowwww - and she knows very effectively that I'm not going to sit at my desk and - and ignore her. And she does it on purpose that she's just out of sight because she knows if she were in sight, that it wouldn't be nearly as effective at getting my attention. And sure enough I'll put - I'll put down my pen and step away from my desk and go and find her and - which is exactly of course, what I'm not supposed to be doing. Because what am I doing? Reinforcing the attention.\nGROSS: I was going to point that out.\nVIRGA: Yeah, so what I tend to do, Terry, is instead what I - what I like to do if I'm smart and really want to get work done, is I will prevent it as you'd said earlier and give them - give her a totally different part of the house to - to explore, to investigate - give her things to do, give her puzzle boxes and - and hide food and give her a little cat bed that I put maybe on the second or third bookshelf along with some sprinkled catnip. And - and that'll keep her busy until she's exhausted and - and she'll - she'll happily rest and sleep while I work on my - my writing.\nGROSS: What's a puzzle box?\nVIRGA: And puzzle box is like what I was talking about earlier - where you take just a simple cardboard box and you can fill it with shredded paper, or you can fill it with nothing other than food itself. But usually you're putting - what I put in there is either a scent or two like - like cinnamon and clove can be really interesting to cats - or catnip. Or I can put some - some freshly cut catnip branches. Matatabi's another plant that our kitty cats like - that's Japanese Silverthorne I think it's called. Or we can put just - I can just put food - the regular cat food Kibble, or Kibble mixed with a few pieces of freeze-dried fish or chicken. And then the box is - is not completely sealed, but sealed enough that it her a little while to get inside of it - which is just what I would do with a leopard or a lion\nGROSS: Dr. Vint Virgo will be back in the second half of the show. He's the author of \"The Soul Of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human.\" I'm Terry Gross and this is FRESH AIR.\nGROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross, back with Vint Virga, a veterinarian who specializes in behavioral medicine. Although he still treats cats and dogs, for the past five years he's worked mostly with animals in zoos and wildlife parks. Virga is the author of the book \"The Soul Of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human.\" I would imagine that the behavioral disorders that you've seen in a lot of zoo animals have to do with the fact that they're in captivity. What are some of the things that zoos have successfully done to make the zoo environment a little closer to the animal's natural environment that you think - things that you think have helped in terms of the behavior of the animals?\nVIRGA: I think the most important things that zoos have done in the past 10, 20 years, is that they've focus primarily on the animal's well-being and depending upon their feedback and responses, looked at their behavior, looked at their overall happiness and contentment and used that as the gauge for what's going - what to do for the animal. And then, they've also applied as much as science knows about the animals in nature. So what that looks like is providing them with a space that's a lot more rich and full than just a place that is an exhibit. So it's really shifting from - not a cage because most zoos don't even have those anymore - but shifting from an exhibit to a habitat where the environment is much richer and more complex, rather than flat and uniform so that we can see them - providing them opportunities to escape from view of the public. And that can be difficult for a zoo in that visitors complain to the zoo if they can't see the leopard or the bear or the lion. But on the other hand, if the lion doesn't have any choice of getting away from the public at times, particularly if there's crowds or noisy visitors, then we're taking away their sense of control of the environment. So a key part of what zoos do nowadays is give the animal control and choice in their environment by making it a lot richer and fuller and more complex. And then the third thing is environmental enrichment, like we were talking about with cats earlier, is applied to every single animal I work with.\nGROSS: So that there's things for them to do - puzzles...They have to hunt for their food.\nVIRGA: Right. The key that I'm always trying to provide every single animal I come into contact with is the opportunity to invent and think and discover on their own and to provide them with a richness of opportunities to explore their world and interact with it in a entirely new way.\nGROSS: Do you feel more positively disposed towards zoos than you used to when you started in veterinary medicine?\nVIRGA: Absolutely. I used to avoid zoos with a passion. And even when I made the decision that I wanted to try to do a little bit of work in zoos, it was very painful and difficult for me. But I also felt like if I didn't do what I could within the structure of zoos as they existed, they weren't going to go away. So the best thing I could do was do what I could within the organization, within the structure of what existed, to try to make things better for the individual animal.\nGROSS: And you point out that zoos actually have a very important place, now, in the lives of endangered species 'cause a lot of endangered species basically have no natural habitat anymore. And the zoos, at least, can try to reproduce some of that habitat.\nVIRGA: Yeah. And that applies to every - to almost every species out there. If we look at elephants - I don't know what the latest numbers are. But they're devastating, the number of elephants that are in Africa compared to what there were 10 years ago. Those numbers, if we look at them, for a wide number of species out there, reflect a changing world where the habitats are being compromised. Pollution is taking away the quality of life of these animals, encroachment of humans on their environments and poaching, hunting, are all taking away the world of these animals. And zoos can actually be looked at, in my mind, as havens, where at least we're doing the best we can for at least some of the individuals to try to turn around and then bring awareness to those species out there that most desperately need it.\nGROSS: Do you think the animals are changing in the sense that they're getting acclimated to humans? You know, like lions and tigers and giraffes and elephants that wouldn't necessarily be around humans are around people all the time in zoos - the zookeepers as well as the crowds who come to see them. So do you think that that changes the animal, or that the animal becomes more comprehending of humans and maybe more friendly?\nVIRGA: Yes, I think so. It's important to realize, too, that most animals in zoos nowadays are captive-born. They're not, by far and large, taken from the wild. And usually it's a number of generations that we would have to trace back to any type of direct wild animal that was originally captured many generations ago. And so it becomes a constant effort by zoos that is supervised in a very strict fashion in terms of making sure that these animals are not inbred, to maintain diversity in the population. And yet, what we are dealing with, very honestly, are animals that are, to some degree, than their wild cousins. And they lose some of those instincts by constantly not having predators and the pressures of the world that they're being exposed to from habitat loss and pollution and so on. But they also are gaining other traits in that they're constantly getting this affiliation or connection to humans. And I'm touched by the relationships that I witness every day between keepers and the animals and their care, even in some of the most - what would be thought to be solitary, unsocial animals.\nVIRGA: Like something like a takin, that in nature, I think, would keep away from humans as much as possible - or a leopard or lion or tiger. Bears - the bears that I work with are very, very oriented towards the keepers and definitely look forward to seeing them every day. They add a richness, and they add social interaction.\nGROSS: If you're just joining us, my guest is Dr. Vint Virga. He's a doctor of veterinary medicine who specializes in behavior medicine. And he's the author of the new book \"The Soul Of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human.\" Let's take a short break. Then we'll talk some more. This is FRESH AIR.\nGROSS: This is FRESH AIR and if you're just joining us, my guest is Vint Virga. He's a veterinarian who specializes in behavioral medicine and he's the author of the new book \"The Soul Of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human\" and he now works mostly with animals in zoos although he continues to have the cat and dog patients that he had before he spent more time in zoos. So give us an example of a pet or a zoo animal in which you seen repetitive behavior and you had to diagnose what the problem was and tried to treat it?\nVIRGA: An example would be a Doberman retriever I saw a number of years ago and he would get up early in the morning and he would sit in his living room of this house and start to watch for reflections or lights on the wall even though there weren't any lights on the wall and as time progressed over the day he would continue to chase after what appeared to be imaginary objects. We couldn't see any reflections or any images or any insects or bugs that he was changing after. What it all started out with was, actually, a laser pen that one of the children in the house was playing with and he became so intent and focused on the laser pen that he would spend a good part of his day chasing after the laser. Then when the laser was not provided he started finding other things that didn't exist to chase after.\nGROSS: Oh, you're scaring me. I use one of those laser toys with my cat.\nGROSS: Am I going to drive her crazy?\nVIRGA: (Laughing) No.\nGROSS: Make her obsessive?\nVIRGA: In fact, it's very interesting because cats don't seem to show the pre-disposition that dogs do towards developing a compulsive response to the laser pen. They seem to be fully entertained by it. So that's a big difference between canids and felids with respect to that particular behavior.\nGROSS: OK, so you realize that playing with this laser pen caused, you know, repetitive compulsive behavior on the part of this Doberman. What did you do?\nVIRGA: Well, the first thing was to try to prevent any further images, laser pens, reflections from them feeding on the behavior, contributing to the behavior. When we're dealing with compulsive behaviors with animals, as is the case with many people, we end up relying upon medication. Usually training, learning, behavioral conditioning is not sufficient when a behavior reaches the degree of becoming compulsive. So what I did with this particular dog is I put her on an anti-anxiety medication and we were able then by reducing her anxiety level to start giving her other activities that she could spend other time enjoying rather than chasing after imaginary objects and it worked very effectively.\nGROSS: Were you able to eventually take a dog off the medication?\nVIRGA: Yes, we were. There are a couple of times that the behavior started to pop up again and by putting her on a low dose and then weaning her off again we were able to manage the behavior really effectively.\nGROSS: You've had your share of cats and dogs in your life. What's the worst behavioral disorder you've had with one of your own pets and that you've tried to treat?\nVIRGA: Oh my goodness. Well, Katie, our Labrador retriever, developed separation anxiety at a very young age. She, like a lot of dogs with separation anxiety, was at risk - I think greater risk of separation anxiety because of her background of having had previous owner and then been through really dramatic experience. The way in which Katie's separation anxiety manifested is she would destroy the house while she was left alone by three four years of age she was causing massive damage which as a young veterinarian out of vet school that was a lot to deal with especially when I didn't even own in my own home. We'd come home and we'd find carpets torn and shredded. We'd find poop and pee - poop smeared around the house, puddles of pee in all sorts of places. But aside from all that, those manifestations that we saw, think of what Katie must've been going through to cause that type of damage? She was a typical Labrador in terms of orientation towards people, very people oriented and also fairly energetic. But she never caused destruction if she wasn't left alone and before the separation anxiety really started happening she never caused any type of destruction.\nGROSS: How did you deal with it?\nVIRGA: Medication was really the primary answer for her. Alleviating her anxiety to the point that then we could give her other things focus other than when we were leaving her and then it was a process. Once I was able to alleviate her anxiety of helping her to give other things to do. Katie's favorite activities were then left for when we would leave at the beginning of the day to go to work in our respective practices - my wife and I.\nGROSS: And did it get to the point where you could take her off the medication?\nVIRGA: We tried twice with Katie and both times she had relapses so she was one of those dogs that I was never able to get medication completely.\nGROSS: But you're OK with that?\nVIRGA: Well, look at the quality of her life.\nGROSS: Exactly right.\nVIRGA: Yeah, so she ended up being on medication all the way pretty much until she was an old, old dog and wasn't able to get around very well.\nGROSS: So my understanding is most vet behaviors now think that positive reinforcement is much more effective and humane than negative reinforcement when you're trying to shape behavior or, you know, prevent an animal from doing something bad.\nVIRGA: Universally there's 60 some odd behaviorists in North America and every single one of us would say wholeheartedly that that is true. That isn't just in the veterinary behavior community. Most of the members of the zoo community have come to realize, a number of years ago, that the best way we can shape and change an animal's behavior is by encouraging and reinforcing behaviors that we want and not reinforcing behaviors that we don't want to encourage.\nGROSS: So one of our producers has two new kittens, very adorable very lively, but they're from the same litter and they just wrestle with each other and bite each other all the time and now they're starting to do that to the family too - to the family of humans - and they're scratching them and, you know, chewing on them. So what's a good way of getting them to like calm down and stop doing that?\nVIRGA: And how old are the kittens?\nGROSS: Ten months.\nVIRGA: Ten months. OK, so they're still really young. So what I would do with when they're starting to direct any type of attention's to people that's when I would just get up and walk away. I think you can count on the cats at that age not being injured if you were to literally just get up off the sofa and stand if they're on top of your lap. If you're standing and coming into house if you're at a meal and wherever you are the best thing I would say to her is that you should if you're standing and coming to the house if you had a meal and wherever you are the best thing I would say to her is that you should literally just get up and walk away from them so that you're not reinforcing the behavior. And you're also signaling them because they're orienting towards you they're wanting a response from you. You're signaling to them that that is not a behavior that you really want to participate in. On the other hand, whenever they're calm and quiet and acting appropriately, that's the time to lavish attention and praise but not so much that gets them all excited. Some of this they're most likely, very most likely going to outgrow 'cause they're just - they're teenagers at this point, preteens really. So they're full of energy and rambunctious. I would encourage her not to get involved with any conflicts between them unless they become serious and if so, give me a call because chances are they're going to work it out themselves and they will scratch or a little bite here and there is going to be better for them to understand their own limits or the other's limits rather than us trying to inter of the fear and say don't do this. Also if we interfere, all we're doing is getting involved in a behavior that then they're just going to turn around and direct towards us.\nGROSS: So a water gun can be pretty effective in the short term of getting away from you?\nVIRGA: Well, I don't know I see a lot of kitties that habituate to water guns so if you really need to do something aversive I think a compressed air canister, you know, the type you would use to a camera or a computer - not directed at them just sprayed in a cupped hand. The hissing sound will usually send most cats running. And at least what I like about that its not directional. A squirt gun will be perceived by most cats as being from you. What we'd rather have is that God or the universe anytime something like that anytime I do the behavior suddenly lets out this hissing sound that I don't like.\nGROSS: So here's a question for you. I was looking at your picture, you know, the author photo on the back of the book and you're wearing what looks like a leather jacket with a fur collar and I was wondering how you feel about leather and fur or is it faux leather and faux fur.\nVIRGA: It's actually faux.\nGROSS: What they now call vegan leather?\nVIRGA: Yeah. Yeah, which of course raises its own issues 'cause I'm sure it's made from petro-chemicals and everything else but, you know, it's like yeah, there's trade-offs. Yeah, I'm a vegetarian. Yeah, I was raised as a meat eater in undergraduate years I was actually an animal science major where I took other people to the slaughterhouse as a lab assistant so I'm very familiar with the animal production industry. You know, there's choices we make day-to-day and I don't think there's right or wrong personally about it I think the thing I would wish for is that everybody brought up mindfulness to what they're doing instead of just if you love steak and you want to continue eating steak at least recognize that there was a cow whose life was given up, basically, so you could eat the steak and the same thing is true for leather.\nGROSS: What did you do at the slaughterhouse?\nVIRGA: Well, I used to accompany the labs and help the teaching assistant with moving students through the labs and what we taught was what's actually involved with the slaughter of animals from moving them to the stockyard to actually being killed to them - how the body is then processed into what we would identify them as steaks and ribs and the bacon and so forth. And that type of reality is not something that's easy to shake or let go of. That type of familiarity with what's going on. So all I encourage people to do is just be aware and then from that, you know, make choices that feel right to them.\nGROSS: Well, Vint Verga, thank you so much for talking with us it's really been interesting. I really appreciate it.\nVIRGA: Oh, thank you very much for having me.\nGROSS: Dr. Vint Virga is the author of the new book \"The Soul Of All Living Creatures: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human.\" You can read an excerpt on our website, freshair.npr.org.

Outside the boundary, on lands where turkey hunting is permitted on Cape Cod, the season runs from April 28 through May 10.\nIn September, 2003, the U.S. District Court ordered a review of the national seashore’s hunting program. As a result of this review, a final decision was released in October, 2007. The decision will serve as a guide for future management of hunting within CCNS. One aspect of the decision is to permit a spring turkey season within the national seashore. However, in order to permit this, a special regulation must be created.

-{"text": "MyDD’s Googlenuke Campaign\nposted at 11:38 pm on October 22, 2006 by Bryan\nThe utilization of Google Adwords and simultaneous, widespread embedded hyperlinks in order to drive as many voters as possible toward the most damning, non-partisan article written on the Republican candidate in seventy key US Senate and House races. The campaign will run from Tuesday, October 24th until Tuesday, November 7th.\nHow do you define “non-partisan” in this context? There are an awful lot of blogs, for instance, that don’t have paid connections to candidates and therefore don’t meet the usual definition of partisan but are in fact as partisan as can be. The Nation, for instance. Even The New Republic.\nDoes the NYT fit the definition of “non-partisan?” Newsweek? Just wondering.\nAnyway. The astrologer’s club’s campaign is fascinatingly evil:\nThe campaign will proceed as follows:\n* Step One: With help form readers at Dailykos and MyDD, I will compile a list of seventy article, one for each targeted race. Every article will focus on a different Republican candidate, and will be written by as generally trusted a news source as possible. It will also present as unflattering a view on the Republican candidate as possible. All of these articles will be placed into a database that I will maintain with the help of willing volunteers.\n* Step Two: Once the database is complete, BlogPac will purchase Google Adwords that will place each negative article on the most common searches for each Republican candidate. Simultaneously, I will produce an article on MyDD that embeds that negative article into a hyperlink that names the Republican candidate. I will then send a copy of that post out to as many bloggers as possible, who can also place the post on their blogs. One posting of this article will be enough.\n* Step Three: All further discussion of the Republican candidates in question on all participating blogs should include an embedded hyperlink that will increase the Google search rank of the article on the given candidate.\nThe result of this should be that the most damning, non-partisan article written on every key Republican candidate for house and Senate will appear both high on every Google search for that candidate, and automatically as an advertisement on every search for that candidate. BlogPac will cover the costs. The netroots will supply the research.\nIf the nutroots are supplying the research, well, you just know it’ll be reliable. I mean, these are people who can’t even Google “Clinton Iraq 1998” to figure out for themselves that the whole “Bush LIED, people DIED” mantra is itself a lie. These are people who can’t rub two search terms together and get link after link between Saddam Hussein and terrorism. These are the people who are going to build a nuclear Google bomb and drop it on the GOP? For some reason, I feel less threatened by this than I guess I should. Their cyber nuke will probably pack all the punch of that North Korean dud.\nNevertheless, it’s good to expose tactics like these. It takes a devious mind to come up with a convoluted way to rig Google search terms, tie that to Google ads and hope to move democracy your way via online hypnosis.

For a late hand in- if you have not completed your theses within the given time frame, please go to Info for a late hand in.\nThe schedule for the thesis seminars will be sent out via email later on the day of submitting the paper or the next day at the latest.\nThe scheduling is a complicated process where many factors need to be taken into account. It is therefore difficult to accommodate requests from individual students about specific time and date. In order to make sure that you will be able to attend your seminar, please make sure that you are available during the whole period when the seminars take place.\nIn case you have a very strong reason for not being able to attend a certain day during the seminar week (e.g. doctor’s appointment, funeral), please leave a note about this to the thesis coordinators when you submit the paper copies of your thesis.\nRoutines for thesis submission\nThree paper copies are to be handed in. In addition, the thesis must be sent in to Urkund and submitted electronically in LUP Student Papers before 11.00 the same day.\nBefore you submit your thesis you are required to send the final version of it for review in Urkund at thesis.svetlu [at] analys.urkund.se.\nLUP Student Papers\nBefore you hand in the paper copies of your thesis, you should submit it electronically as a PDF document in Lund University Publications Student Papers (LUP), see more detail below. If you experience any problems with the electronic registration, please contact your librarian or the thesis administrators.\nFinally, you hand in 3 paper copies of your thesis to the thesis administrators (see date and time on the lesson plan in Live@Lund).

Almost all computers have Acrobat Reader installed; a program, which makes it possible to view PDF files. If you do not have Acrobat Reader on your computer, you can download it for free though the Adobe Acrobat website. You cannot create PDF files using Acrobat Reader. Here are instructions for creating PDF documents:\n1) If you have the commercial version of Acrobat (Adobe Acrobat) installed on your computer, you can create a PDF by using the print dialog box and selecting PDF file instead of a printer. The exact appearance of the dialog box may vary depending on if you are using Windows, Mac OS or Linux.\n2) There are also a number of shareware programs (eg. freepdfconvert.com), which can create PDF files. Most shareware programs cost money and demo versions may only allow you to create a few PDF files before you are required to register and pay for the software.\n3) If you have a Macintosh computer with any version of the OS 10 (X) creating PDFs is never a problem. There is a button for creating (save as) PDFs in the print dialog box, click on it and you are done.\nN.B It is important that you write your thesis in a single document. The first page, abstract, references etc. should not be saved as separate documents. In order to simplify this process we have made a thesis template.\nSubmitting to LUP Student Papers\nFirst time users: If it is your first time select.

-{"text": "Dating Ukrainian Singles – How to Be the Perfect Gentleman\nDating a guy who is being disrespectful towards their country, traditions or culture is what Ukrainian singles have no tolerance for. You may be only joking, but European women take their nationality very seriously. Therefore, it’s necessary to act like a true gentleman at all times. Here is a little list of things that could help you avoid offending your gorgeous Ukrainian date.\n1. Never Make Fun of Her English Skills\nIf you want to be successful in international dating, you must not make fun of your partner when she makes a mistake or says something wrong. Even if you’re only teasing, it could sound rude to your date and you could end up hurting her feelings. If you’ve never had to learn another language yourself, you’re in no position to criticise someone who is genuinely trying. It’s not easy to learn a foreign language and being teased by a native speaker will not help the process. Instead, be patient when she speaks and try to understand what she’s trying to say. Explain her mistakes to her tactfully and encourage her to speak more.\n2. Don’t Believe Everything You Hear\nIf you’re familiar with the international dating scene, you might have heard the ridiculous and unfair stereotypes about dating Ukrainian singles. If you truly want to impress your partner, you should never ever take these myths seriously. Confidently making statements like all Ukraine women want to find a foreign husband because they want to get a visa for the United States or all of them are communists will only make you sound foolish. You shouldn’t make any generalisations based on someone’s nationality. Always treat all women like they have different needs and wishes.\nIf you want to show off your intelligence, take time to learn some facts about your sweetheart’s country of origin. Have a look at the map and familiarise yourself with the most important events that changed the history of her country. Being able to speak some Ukrainian can be beneficial as well. She will be impressed that you’re making an effort to get to know her better. Moreover, a little extra knowledge has never hurt anybody.\n3. Be Respectful – All the Time\nA real man will never enjoy making fun of someone’s culture or traditions. Even though some Ukrainian singles may even agree with you or find your jokes amusing, they might not be so happy about hearing critique about their beloved country from a foreigner. Show respect all the time and refrain from saying anything about sensitive matters, at least not until you are sure that she won’t take offence. Even then, be very careful with how you bring up this topic. The last thing you want to do is make your partner feel like her country is not good enough for you or your nationality is somehow superior to hers.", "char_count": 2809, "token_count": 702, "k_exact": 2.3796, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8679, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

This month, in addition to my usual class, I signed up to take one to make a reusable Advent calendar. Advent calendars are something my mom gets for me every year as far back as I can remember. There is something so fun about opening up the little door each day to see a picture, read a verse or get some candy. The calendar I made today is of the candy variety (although I could add some random verses when I set it up for us this year).

So, it was a real treat to get to make one for my little family.\nThis is the first year our instructor Jenn, aka Creative Chick, has brought her yearly Advent calendar class to my LSS.

She owns a successful bakery and teaches German literature at the local university. There’s just one tiny problem. She has no self-confidence when it comes to her body. And then there’s the little matter of her being accused of murdering her pole dancing instructor. There’s no way Callie’s going to risk losing her teaching position and thus she embarks, with her best baker bud Anna, on a journey to discover the real killer. Between stripper auditions and a detective who insists Callie is the woman of his dreams, it’s a roller coaster adventure. Cupcakes not included.\nI set my menu down. “You’ve never had sushi? Why’d you bring us here then?”\nHe shakes his head. “When are you going to get it into your head that I’d do anything for you?”\n“The Tokyo earthquake of 1923 brought sushi into restaurants. Before that, sushi was just a street food, but the quake destroyed much of the city and that caused real estate prices to drop so that sushi chefs could afford real restaurants.” I clamp my hand over my mouth when I realize that I am once again spouting weird trivia because Ben’s words unnerve me.\nBen grins and shakes his head. Then, he surprises the daylights out of me by leaning over and giving me a hard kiss. “You are the sexiest nerd on the entire planet.” He picks up his menu again as if he didn’t just rock my world. “So, what should I order?”\nI let his ‘sexiest nerd’ comment drop because there is no appropriate response to crazy. “Is there anything you don’t like?” He shakes his head. “Afraid of raw food?” Another shake. “Okay, let’s order a platter with a mixture of everything.”\nHe sets his menu down and nods. “Sounds good. Do you think it will fill me up?”\n“Well…” I scratch my head and look at Ben’s massive shape. “Maybe we should order some tempura.” The words are barely out of my mouth before I’m taking them back again. “No wait, that’s a bad idea. I shouldn’t be eating that.”\n“Why not? Are you allergic?”\n“No, not allergic. Tempura is fried. I should stay away from anything fried.” I fidget in my seat, uncomfortable with my confession.\n“Why?” He looks genuinely confused.\nI roll my eyes at him. “Because I can’t afford to gain any weight. It’s bad enough I run a bakery.”\nBen captures my hands with one of his enormous hands and grabs my chin with the other one. “I said no more putting yourself down.” I start to protest, but he pinches my chin to quiet me. “You’re gorgeous. I love your curves. You look like a woman should. Man, you’re so sexy, it was all I could do to not drag you into your apartment and have my way with you when I arrived and saw you in that sexy as all get out dress.”\nFinally, he’s quiet and I think I can get a word in edgewise. Ben’s not that easily deterred, however. He leans forward and stops any response I would have made with his lips. He nibbles on my bottom lip like I’m some kind of delicacy. When he thinks he’s made his point, he leans back and releases my chin although my hands are still encased in one of his over-sized mitts.\nI hear a sigh behind me and look over to see Mikki. “Oh man, that was hot. Do not let him go, Professor Muller.” She flips open her order pad. “Now, what do you want to eat?”\nI grew up reading everything I could get my hands on from my mom’s Harlequin romances to Nancy Drew to Little Women. When I wasn’t flipping pages in a library book, I was penning horrendous poems, writing songs no one should ever sing, or drafting stories which have thankfully been destroyed. College and a stint in the U.S. Army came along, robbing me of free time to write and read, although I did manage every once in a while to sneak a book into my rucksack between rolled up socks, MRIs, t-shirts, and cold weather gear. A few years into my legal career, I was exhausted, fed up, and just plain done. I quit my job and sat down to write a manuscript, which I promptly hid in the attic after returning to the law. Another job change, this time from lawyer to B&B owner, and I was again fed up and ready to scream I quit, which is incredibly difficult when you own the business. Thus, I shut the B&B during the week and in the off-season and started writing.

The car was ready at Melbourne Airport according to the agreed (and competitively priced) price. It was an excellent 4WD that had very little mileage and we enjoyed it thoroughly. EasyTerra found us an excellent deal.\nGreetings, Ron and Hitty Krancher\"”\nSimon NanEuropcar Melbourne Airport\n“Nice people and cars”\n“As said before, nice people and car.”\nLocation information for Melbourne\nMelbourne is the capital of the Australian state Victoria. It is a very attractive city: spaciously designed, mostly low buildings (except the central business district), large parks and lakes. The houses the world's second largest botanical gardens, after Kew Gardens in London. In the city centre there are modern skyscrapers, but there is also a part of 19th century Melbourne. Melbourne claims to be the cultural capital of Australia, although the people of Sydney disagree. There is an enormous rivalry between the inhabitants of these two cities (which is why the country's capital - Canberra - is located in between).\nThe city has 3.7 million inhabitants. Like many cities in Australia, most of them are of British or Irish descent, but there are also large groups of immigrants from every corner of the world. Australians have a reputation as sports lovers, and that applies especially to the people of Melbourne. It was in this city that Australian Rules Football was born (a kind of rugby, but with different rules), and the city houses an array of sports facilities.\nThe city is located in the south-east of Australia, some 800 kilometres to the south-west of Sydney. Its origin is on the river Yarra, which flows into Port Phillip Bay. Melbourne is the most southerly city in the world with a population of over a million..\nMelbourne is an important commercial and industrial centre. About a third of the large multinational Australian companies have there head offices in this city (including telecom giant Telstra, mining company BHP Billiton and the National Australian Bank). The largest trade union also has its headquarters in Melbourne. The city has a large seaport (Western Port Bay) with related industries, like shipbuilding and oil refineries. Also, cars (Toyota and Ford) and electronic equipment are manufactured there.\nThe city is also a leading centre of education. The University of Melbourne is considered the best of Australia, and attracts many foreign students. Monash University also belongs to the Top 8 of Australia's universities.\nThere are two airports near Melbourne. The most important one is Melbourne Airport in Tullamarine, 22 kilometres to the north-west of the city. The airport provides both domestic and international connections. There is a shuttle bus (Skybus) between the airport and Southern Cross bus station to the west of the city centre.\nAvalon Airport only processes domestic flights, especially by budget airline JetStar (Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin and Perth). The airport is located 55 kilometres to the south-west of the city. There is a shuttle connection to Melbourne.\nMelbourne has a good and extensive public transport network, consisting of trams, buses and trains. Trams are found primarily in and around the centre, trains service the suburbs, and where there are no trams or trains, buses take over. You can buy one ticket for all these forms of public transport (the so-called 'Metcard'). The city is divided into zones: the centre is Zone 1, the ring around the centre Zone 2, and the suburbs Zone 3. You can buy a ticket with a certain duration (2 hours), a day ticket or a week ticket.\nThere are two free services: the City Circle Tram brings you to the main attractions in the centre, the Mebourne City Tourist Shuttle is a bus line that also goes to attractions further away.\nFrom the combined bus and train terminal Southern Cross, many destinations inside and outside the state of Victoria can be reached. Keep in mind that the travel times to, for instance, Sydney or Adelaide are considerable. Melbourne has a night ferry to the island of Tasmania (10 hours).\nTraffic and Parking\nIn Australia, people drive on the left side of the road, which means the steering wheel of your rental car will be on the right. Keep in mind that Australia is a huge country, and that the distance between the various cities are enormous. The fastest way to get to Sydney is via the Hume Highway (about 10 hours). A more beautiful, though longer route is along the coast, the Princess Highway. Although Adelaide is closer, it is still at least a seven hours' drive.\nMelbourne has an excellent and logical street pattern, but it is a very expanded city. So buy a city map to orientate, the people of Melbourne themselves often use the excellent 'Greater Melbourne' map by Melway. In addition, Melbourne has the so-called 'hook turn': on streets with trams you can only turn right by moving to the left-most lane (\"Right Turn From Left Only\"). This way, the tram in the middle of the street is not blocked.\nThe city has many car parks, which means that it is not hard to find a space. There are 140 parking areas and car parks, with a total of 70,000 spaces. According to the city council, you are never more than 200 metres away from the nearest parking facility. Parking in the street is usually only allowed for a limited time (indicated on the parking meter). In streets with the so-called 'Clearway' sign, parking is not allowed between 7.30 am and 6.30 pm.

Located one block from the Downtown Canal, the $85 million project has been called a win for the city by Mayor Greg Ballard. The jobsite was once a parking lot north of the OneAmerica Tower. OneAmerica sold the ground to Flaherty & Collins. To make up for the hundreds of parking spots OneAmerica will lose to the project, the city will build the insurer a 930-space parking garage paid with $11 million in property tax money from Downtown's tax increment financing district.

Amenities will include a heated saltwater pool, fitness center and three courtyards.\nThe perforated panels on the parking garage were curved on site. The alternating pattern of four shades of blue were chosen to create a wave appearance. Supporting the panels is a subframing assembly unit.

-{"text": "‘Time to bring us into the nation’ through constitutional recognition\nSource: News Corp Australia\n- By: Noel Pearson\n- From: The Australian\n- Date: 13 September 2014\nHAD Galarrwuy Yunupingu and his dilak elders been present at the creation of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, there might have been a scene like this:\nI wait for the new prime minister … An event is taking place at Yirrkala and I have called the leaders of the 13 clans together. No children or young people will participate, only leaders, men and women who have proved themselves: dilak. By my side are Djinyini Gondarra and the leaders of the Elcho clans, Richard Ganduwuy and Dunga Dunga Gondarra, Butharripi Gurruwiwi. Wilson Gan-ambarr, Gali Gurruwiwi, Gekurr Guyula and Timmy Burrawanga are there. Laklak and Dhuwarrwarr Marika are there, too, along with the great old man from Gan Gan, Garrawan Gumana. My cousin Banambi Wunungmurra brings the prime minister down to us. We have a petition for him.\nLearning of the cataclysmic history experienced by Aboriginal tribes in the coastal south and east of the country and the inexorable expansion into the west and the north in the first 110 years of European colonisation, and fearing the time when the Yolngu of Arnhem Land would face the same devastation, Yunupingu might have presented Edmund Barton — along with Samuel Griffith and the other founding fathers of the new nation — with a petition, as he did Kevin Rudd in 2008:\nWe, the united clans of East Arnhem land, through our most senior dilak, do humbly petition you, the … Prime Minister of Australia, in your capacity as the first amongst equals in the Australian Parliament, and as the chief adviser to Her Majesty … to secure within the Australian Constitution the recognition and protection of our full and complete right to:\n• Our property, being the lands and waters of East Arnhem Land;\n• Economic independence, through the proper use of the riches of our land and waters in all their abundance and wealth;\n• Control of our lives and responsibility for our children’s future.\nEVERY nation is a unique creation. All democracies are not the same. Every society that has ever created a constitution has had to deal with a unique history and circumstances. There is no template democracy. There’s no template nation.\nIn 1901, when the Australian nation was created, it reflected the ideas and biases of the time. One bias had as its cornerstone the exclusion of the native peoples of this country. It took a long 66 years before that exclusion from citizenship was remedied in 1967.\nBack when the referendum was crafted and overwhelmingly endorsed by the Australian people — 90 per cent of the country voted in favour of it — there was not one indigenous lawyer in the country, let alone an indigenous constitutional lawyer involved in the drafting of the amendment. Now, leading indigenous legal intellectuals such as Megan Davis are driving these developments.\nEven the greatest democracies are a search for a better unity. National democracy is not just a lapidary achievement. No nation has created the perfect unity. Facing racial conflict, President Barack Obama invoked the idea that the US is on a journey to a “more perfect union”. Ours is a journey to perfect our commonwealth and the unity it is intended to represent.\nDuring my involvement on the Expert Panel on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, set up by Julia Gillard, I became convinced that the basis of our inclusion in Australian citizenship in 1967 was fatefully wrong.\nWe were included as citizens of our own country on the basis of race, and that too reflected the bias of the time.\nIn the decades leading up to the 1950s and 60s, and for a long time after, it was commonplace to talk about people of different races. So it is understandable that in 1967 the basis of our citizenship was determined in section 51 (xxvi) — the race clause.\nIn retrospect, I saw — largely through the arguments of my colleagues on the panel — that our inclusion in the citizenship of the country on the basis of our alleged race was a momentous misstep.\nIt was wrong, in fact. Today we understand that there are no races. And as long as human societies have assumed and perpetuated the idea that there are distinct races across the world, much misery has resulted.\nToday we understand there are no distinctions to be made among peoples on the basis of race. We are a human race. While we do not share a uniform culture, language, religion and ethnicity, we do share one characteristic: we are members of a single race.\nAs long as we have a Constitution that characterises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the basis of race, it will have deleterious implications for their citizenship. It must be removed. With the knowledge of hindsight, we must perfect the basis of our inclusion in the nation.\nI believe the psychological and practical implications of these reforms will be profound. This is not just a matter of symbolism. I think this will be a matter of psychology.\nThe day we come to regard ourselves as people with a distinct heritage, with distinct cultures and languages, but not of a distinct race will be a day of psychological liberation. And it will also be liberating for those in the wider community who treat us as members of a distinct race, with all of the freight that accompanies this.\nI believe constitutional reforms that remove the concept of race will have concrete, practical implications for indigenous wellbeing across this country.\nWe have made many gains since 1967, but we have been significantly hobbled as well. And the chief thing that has hobbled us is the concept of race.\nThis does not mean that when we get rid of race in our thinking, racism will not exist. There will still be discrimination. But such discrimination is based on an illegitimate idea: that people are different according to some racial criterion. So there will be need for protection against the illegitimate concept through the Racial Discrimination Act 1975.\nI see no contradiction in banishing notions of race from our Constitution while at the same time ensuring protection of peoples against the illegitimate use of this distinction.\nON July 15 this year I had the honour of joining Rupert Murdoch and Tony Abbott in Sydney at the 50th anniversary of the founding of The Australian . In my remarks I said that:\nWhen the history of indigenous reform is written, the place of The Australian under the editorship of Chris Mitchell will be plain … Mitchell opened the pages of The Australian to all shades of debate and indigenous leaders and commentators: no other mainstream platform comes close. Like the paper’s founder, the paper’s editor these past 12 years seems impelled by an unremitting sense of native duty to the nation by taking his indigenous brethren with utmost seriousness. Rosemary Neill’s courageous coverage of tragic violence against Aboriginal women. Tony Koch’s pursuit of Mulrunji’s death at the Palm Island watch-house. Paul Toohey’s searing stories of the petrol-sniffing Hades in the centre. These all echo the proprietor’s campaign in The Advertiser in the Max Stuart case in 1959 abolishing the death penalty.\nThe Australian treated these subjects not because it believed the country’s indigenous peoples innocent or guilty, right or wrong, noble or ignoble — but because the paper believed in our humanity, and that we and our affairs should not be left on the woodheap of the democracy. No paper welcomed indigenous writers and political leaders more than this one. The late Charlie Perkins, Marcia Langton, Galarrwuy Yunupingu, Patrick Dodson, Lowitja O’Donoghue, Warren Mundine and more have been regular protagonists in the national conversation in the national paper.\nFor those like me whose reform policies have been steadfastly supported by the paper’s editorials, we have not been spared contrary views and criticism in news reporting and commentary. The dialectic of the national conversation plays out in the pages of The Australian.\nThis was a privilege for me: to witness Murdoch, one of those rare Australians whom the thoughtful senator from Queensland Brett Mason — in a forthcoming book on such figures — correctly identifies as having in some way changed the world, pause to reflect on a 50-year milestone on his journey.\nI think that not to marvel at Murdoch’s colossal media exploits and take some borrowed pride from the fact that, like Don Bradman in cricket or Howard Florey in medical science, he is Australian is as absurd as denying the global impact of Robert Hughes on art or Germaine Greer on feminism.\nThere may or may not be some validity in the suggestion that the levelling instinct of Australians is a salient contribution of indigenous peoples to the national character, but at the heart of that instinct lies a cringe that makes us a smaller nation, with a smaller sense of our own possibilities, when we don’t recognise it as a double-edged sword.\nI suspect our aggressive egalitarianism is the engine that drives individuals to take on the forces of the establishment — witness the “Dirty Digger” taking over the London Sun — but it can also see the rest frantically determined to chop down the very outliers who have challenged and beaten the powers-that-be. This is our psychological, rather than cultural, cringe. One side of our egalitarianism challenges the status quo and the other preserves it through levelling.\nIt was for me a signal event. I tell this story to give a context to my final remarks to that audience, in which I set out how constitutional recognition of indigenous Australians would allow the nation to reveal our true nature and the great hidden architecture of our commonwealth:\nOur nation is in three parts. There is our ancient heritage, written in the continent and the original culture painted on its land and seascapes. There is its British inheritance, the structures of government and society transported from the United Kingdom fixing its foundations in the ancient soil. There is its multicultural achievement: a triumph of immigration that brought together the gifts of peoples and cultures from all over the globe — forming one indissoluble commonwealth.\nWe stand on the cusp of bringing these three parts of our national story together — our ancient heritage, our British inheritance and our multicultural triumph — with constitutional recognition of indigenous Australians. This reconciliation will make a more complete commonwealth.\nThe colonial history that I have revisited in my Quarterly Essay, A Rightful Place is the reason why the relationship between our indigenous heritage and the country’s British heritage has eluded us. As troubled as this history is, and as troubling as it will be for the foreseeable future, these two things are the heritage of Australia. There is no denying it. It is the reality and it is the truth, no matter how much white Australians might want to ignore it or black Australians might want to reject it. Whatever the mutual denial of the past, the future must be one of mutual recognition.\nTHERE are two reasons Australian conservatives should support constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. First, conservatism sees intrinsic value in tradition and inheritance — like our British heritage, indigenous tradition and inheritance is important and should be recognised and maintained. Second, conservatives value national unity. They disavow separatism, collectivism and division among citizens, preferring instead individualism bound by a common sense of national unity and patriotism. That is why they should support the removal of references to “race” that serve to divide citizens.\nIn trying to understand conservative objections to the expert panel’s proposals, it is important to understand the Australian mix of liberalism and conservatism, and the influence of constitutional conservatism — the influential group of Australian constitutional experts whom Greg Craven dubbed the “con-cons”. This group, convening as the Samuel Griffith Society, values liberalism and democracy. They insist on parliamentary sovereignty and are ready to accuse judges of usurping parliamentary democracy. They value the Australian Constitution as inherited wisdom.\nIt is because, as Waleed Aly observed in Quarterly Essay 37, “tradition has its own force and wisdom” that the conservative disposition prefers organic evolution to revolution in society. Conservatives approach constitutional reform with extreme caution. According to Aly, conservatism is “resistant to ideological zeal”: it “eschews utopian designs and adopts far more modest and pragmatic approaches to policy”.\nThis explains conservative resistance to including principles such as “equality” or “non-discrimination” in the Constitution. While valuing free and equal participation in a liberal democracy, conservative pragmatists do not think such ideals can be protected simply by writing them into the Constitution. Such alterations risk giving the judiciary too much power.\nIn their strong aversion to activist judges, constitutional conservatives tend to forget the history that has driven this conversation about constitutional recognition.\nConservatives are concerned with limiting judicial activism, and therefore do not want symbolic words or sweeping “rights” clauses in the Constitution. Indigenous advocates need to take these views on board.\nBut what conservatives in turn need to understand, in an effort to find consensus, is that for indigenous people the movement for constitutional recognition has always been about achieving constitutional protection and recognition of indigenous rights and interests within Australia.\nIt is about reconciling the fact that there were peoples here before the British arrived, and making provision for those peoples and their interests to be recognised within the nation.\nSymbolism and poetry is only one part of it. Substantive change in the national approach to indigenous affairs is the other.\nConservatives need to understand our position, too. Our people lived through the discrimination of the past.\nWe have a legitimate anxiety that the past not be repeated, and that measures be put in place to ensure thingsare done in a better way. If conservatives assert that a racial non-discrimination clause is not the answer, then what is a better solution?\nIn a recent paper, The Australian Declaration of Recognition, Julian Leeser and Damien Freeman assert that the Constitution is a rule book, a practical charter of government that sets out power relationships, such as between the commonwealth and the states. It is not a vehicle for aspirations and symbolism: these can be articulated in a declaration, not in the constitution proper.\nBut if the Constitution is a practical rule book governing national power relationships, then we should also accept that there is one very important national power relationship that it clearly does not address.\nArguably, therefore, the rule book should be amended to make provision for indigenous people to be heard in indigenous affairs.\nAfter all, if unelected judges should not decide what is in the interests of indigenous people, then who should decide?\nIndigenous people comprise only 3 per cent of the population and hardly get a fair say in parliament, even on matters directly concerning them.\nParliaments have never been good at listening to indigenous people. This is why the discrimination of the past has occurred. This is the elephant and the mouse problem that has characterised indigenous affairs.\nWe can find a way of ensuring that indigenous people get a fair say in laws and policies made about uswithout compromising the supremacy of parliament. Perhaps we could consider creating a mechanism to ensure that indigenous people can take more responsibility for our own lives within the democratic institutions already established, and without handing power to judges.\nAs mentioned, conservatives should agree with the removal of racial discrimination from the Constitution. They believe in national unity and dislike internal divisions, separatism and collectivism. They must now also turn their minds to how the Constitution might be altered so that the discrimination of the past cannot happen again.\nWe don’t want separatism: we want inclusion on a fair basis. We want to be inside the decision-making tent. We want our voices to be heard in political decisions made about us. A mechanism like this — guaranteeing the indigenous voice in indigenous affairs — could be a more democratic solution to the racial discrimination problem.\nConstitutional recognition could therefore include removal of the race clauses and the insertion of a replacement power to enable the commonwealth parliament to pass necessary laws with respect to indigenous peoples, and incorporation of a requirement that indigenous peoples get a fair say in laws and policies made about us. A new body could be established to effect this purpose, and to ensure that indigenous peoples have a voice in their own affairs.\nThis is an edited extract of Quarterly Essay 55, A Rightful Place: Race, Recognition and a More Complete Commonwealth by Noel Pearson, available nationally on Monday.", "char_count": 17308, "token_count": 4327, "k_exact": 2.7729, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8939, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

As of right now we have 4 pets.\n2 dogs: 3 year old Chiweenie Tinkerbell and 3 month old Chihuahua Roxy.\n2 cats: Indoor kitty Daisy and outdoor kitty Wickett.\nWe just love our animals.\nHowever, animals do weird things. For one, my Chiweenie Tinkerbell is completely housebroken; that is if it isn't raining. If it is raining when we let her out to potty she will hide on the porch or deck until we let her in. Then she will wait until we aren't paying attention and sneak off to our laundry room and do her business on the floor. It infuriates me to no end. I understand not wanting to go out in the rain but come on.....you're a dog :)\nNow since Tinkerbell is 3 years old and I have raised her and know this about her, I make sure to put puppy pads in my laundry room floor for her when it is raining so there isn't any nasty on the floor. I guess all is well with that but I still get annoyed with her sometimes.\nMy kids can definitely say the dog at their homework. As you can see, there is currently paper all over my living room floor. Luckily, this paper is a graded report so there will be no doing over.\nThis sweet little face is the culprit of the chewed school work. Our new little Chihuahua Roxy. She is so rotten. I just don't know how her little body holds her big ole personality. She chases and wrestles the cats. She loves to sneak attack Tinkerbell and our big outdoor cat Wickett (he comes in to eat because if I feed him outside about 10 neighborhood strays come to eat his food and cat fights ensue). She likes to growl and bark. Her personality is way too big for her little tiny body.\nRoxy has also been testing my patience. She was puppy pad trained by the person we got her from. However, she she will just squat anywhere. Then when we pick her up to put her on the puppy pad she does the pitiful little cower move and then hides and finishes her business. Some days I feel I am constantly on my hands and knees cleaning up little tinkle puddles out of the carpet ( I want hardwood floors lol)\nShe is getting better though. I have puppy pads over her 3 favorite (yes 3!! ugh) areas in the living room and since she refuses the crate at night I have 2 puppy pads in my bedroom where she sleeps. She has hit them more than she has missed them the past few days so I hope to get her to where she will be \"going\" outside soon.\nBeyond all of the frustrations of raising pets, there are so many joys to them too.\nMy puppies have been my constant companions while I have been sick these past two days.\nHere you can see Roxy enjoying my heated blanket with me. And can you see that lump she is looking toward? (it is kind of hard to tell with the brown blanket)\nThat lump is Tinkerbell, on my lap UNDER the blanket.

Most of his favorite sons of Ferdinand are racing vehicles, with only the 550 Coupe and 928 to really stoke his passions. But there's something about the new GT3 RS. It's the most immediately soulful road car Porsche has produced since the 928 left the line. A different beast to be sure, but an assured loin-stirrer it is, even to oddball dorks who've always loved 914s and think 912s are rad. It is an undeniable car, and we constantly castigate people who buy mere GT3s for not going full-awesome and waiting for the RS. We do not say this lightly, but the new GT3 RS is simply one of the coolest cars Porsche has ever built.

Tradition dictates that every other year we fly to the east coast to celebrate Christmas with my family. Anyone who has flown recently can relate when I say that the “friendly skies” are definitely a thing of the past!\nOur flight from Portland to Salt Lake City was delayed by a half hour while the plane was deiced. Since planes do not fly well when their wings are covered with ice and snow, that time was well spent! Upon arriving in Salt Lake City, we discovered that our connecting flight was in another concourse so the cross country hike was on. By the time we arrived at the departure gate, the flight was on final call so we jump aboard just minutes before the door was slammed shut.\nOnce the plane was deiced, we taxied for position in the departure line only to be diverted to a temporary parking area because of a problem with the aircraft's in-flight computer. We sat quietly for forty-five minutes while the pilots and the maintenance guys worked their magic! Since your options are severely limited once the plane is airborne, I am always very thankful when they find and fix mechanical problems before you reach the end of the runway!\nUpon arrival in Boston, we were greeted at the baggage carousel with the tangle of unclaimed luggage from the prior day’s cancelled flights.

-{"text": "Riders 37 – Ti-Cats 0\nI’m well aware that it’s not morning but given my track record did you really expect a morning post after a Sunday evening game? I sometimes struggle when it’s a Friday evening game.\nIn a league that awards a point for missing a FG and punting too far, the Ti-Cats somehow managed to put up a goose egg on Sunday night. I know lots of people will downplay this pummeling by saying that it was against a weak opponent but so what? That’s what’s supposed to happen when really good teams play bad teams. We are a really good team. Hamilton is a bad team with a bad defense, no run game and missing pretty much anything resembling a top flight receiver. We were supposed to beat them and we did… quite handily… the system works.\nBefore I get to the game… by far the highlight of the game was Andre Proulx. In his finest moment he screwed up the penalty call (mixing up offense and defense), paused to shake his head and collect his thoughts… and then top it off by pointing the wrong way while trying to correct himself. Worth the price of admission right there. Bonus points for calling a benalty on number turty tree (even though the actual penalty was on 24).\nBy now you may be sick of borderline crush on George Cortez but you’ll just have to deal with it. I love him and I love our offense! It is firing on all cylinders. Durant seems so comfortable and in tune with it and it is designed to remorselessly pick on any weakness the opposing team is show us. It was clear that Hamilton was dead set on stuffing Sheets so what do we do? Start heaving it up to Rob Bagg (who is back as an impact player) and Dressler, and keep doing it until the defense backs off enough to let Sheets do his thing. We also made really good use of that McHenry leak out. For once our offense is dictating the play to the defense rather than the other way around. I really noticed this game just how in tune Durant and the receivers are with the timing and execution of this offense. One play in particular I saw Durant throw a short pass to what looked like an empty space only to have Bagg swoop in at the perfect time and make the reception. If they keep playing like this we will be formidable to even the best defense… and as Sunday proved, deadly to the one who are defenses in name only.\nOf course no talk of the offense would be complete without mentioning the Dan Clark TD. For the record, last Monday I wrote the following in my sentimonies… “At this rate I’m convinced that our Banjo Bowl offense will revolve primarily around Dan Clark somehow. . The only appropriate thing to say in a situation like a Clark TD is what John Madden said in the Replacements “I love to see a fat guy score, Because first you get a fat guy spike, then you get the fat guy dance”. Memo to Clark: if you plan on scoring again, work on the spike and dance.\nDefensively I think it would have been a slightly different story if Hamilton had had Fantuz in… but not much. Defense came to play. Its hard to imagine them doing much better than they did on Sunday but I’m trying to imagine what would have happened if Harris, Maze and Thomas (i.e. the majority of our starting secondary) had played. Ti-Cats may have found a way to get negative points. When the defense held them without a point with the wind I just knew the Ti-Cats would not be scoring about as much as a math major in college. We brought big time pressure (5 sacks) and limited the big plays. I'm pretty sure we would have help them in check even if we allowed them to field 2 extra offensive players.\nAnother solid effort in all 3 phases in what is becoming a pleasant trend. Not used to being in the position of being the team to beat but I could certainly get used to this… and the way we are playing, likely will.\nOther random thoughts:\n- Willy not starting really hurt “I Heart Willy” T-Shirt sales… only ones I sold were to a guy who asked if it also came in pink with glittered print… and I don’t think he even watched football. It did give me a great idea for a new slogan for the shirts “I Heart Willy shirts: Show your pride, Rider or otherwise.”\n- When was the last time that 130 yard performance by an RB seemed like no big deal?\n- Not sure if you noticed but when Sanders subbed in for Sheets at the very end of the game, after only 1 play (a first down), Sheets tried to sub himself back in by walking onto the field only to have the coaches quickly direct him back to the sidelines.\n- I see Geroy Simon has taken over the “Mandatory Standing Ovation No Matter How Insignificant The Play Was” role… should have at least saved the cheers for his second reception that was actually worth cheering.\n- I really hope McHenry and Fulton are OK after the game. Obviously McHenry was shook up and I noticed near the end of the game Fulton was very, very slowly getting up after plays and clearly in some pain. Both guys are big parts of our O. (Honestly who ever expected that to be written about McHenry?)\n- I was hoping that one Bartel punt would float backwards through the endzone… I wonder what the rule is on that?", "char_count": 5081, "token_count": 1270, "k_exact": 2.0977, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8168, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

I checked mine at 45 minutes and it was still really liquidy so I cooked it longer, it took 1 hour and 10 minutes before the knife came out clean.\n#2: Like I said above the blog stated to “by hand, mix in pumpkin”. But in my experience a batter like this that is sticky and really liquid it is hard to knead by hand.\n#3: When it says dry ingredients it means the spices too lol! When I first made this (I have made 2 loaves so far) I mixed everything in but the spices since it didn’t occur to me they were dry ingredients! So I added them in at the end but before adding the pumpkin!

Elegant, old-fashioned and crammed with lovely books and clever booksellers, these are bookshops as old-school book lovers would like to have them. The hope is that their creator, James Daunt, will bring some of their ethos to the fore as he remodels Waterstone's under the eye of Mamut, its billionaire proprietor.\nHe has already taken some fairly radical steps: dropping the chain's long-running three-for-two promotions, calling for an end to the process whereby publishers pay for their prominence on the shop floor and promising the return of flair in bookselling.

His freshman season, he finished the year averaging over 14 points, grabbing over 7 rebounds, and 1 steal per game.

-{"text": "Kristin Gallegos is a make-up artist and personal friend of mine. Her style has always inspired me. She is one of those people you can't help but love.\nI had the pleasure of meeting Kristin a few years back. If my memory serves me well, we were at an infamous party held at \"Luke and Leroy\". Both of us were new to NYC and shared a 11211 zip-code (Williamsburg, BK). Kristin had relocated to NYC from LA, ready to take the city by storm. Kristin truly is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. I'm glad to have had the pleasure of watching Kristin blossom from a some-what shy girl who only wore vintage, into the dynamic fashion power house she is today. Here's a look at what Kristin is working on now & looking forward to in 2010.\nPhoto by: Hanneli Mustaparta\nWW: How long have you been doing make-up now?\nKG: 5 & 1/2 years in NYC\nWW: What agency are you with currently?\nKG: Bryan Bantry\nWW: Where did you get your training?\nKG: A workshop at Studio Makeup Academy at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood, Ca. But mostly from assisting Dick Page and Lisa Butler, amongst others.\nWW: How old are you? haha, I know you shouldn't ask a lady that!\nKG: How dare you!!! A lady never tells!!!! Just kidding, I am 28!\nWW: What is your favorite color?\nKG: I am known for wearing all black. Although that really isn't a color, its my favorite. If I had to pick an actual color it would be \"Greige\", a mixture of grey and beige.\nWW: What project/s are you currently booked or working on?\nKG: I just shot the Victorinox Swiss Army Campaign with Collier Schorr, V Magazine with Peter Lindbergh, Glamour with Arthur Elgort, and just got back from India where I was shooting Vogue India with Jean Francois Campos!\nWW: How was India? did you get to any out door markets or sight-see?\nKG: India was an amazing experience! It was unlike anything I have ever seen in my life. Being in a third world country really makes you appreciate what you have. It puts everything into perspective. I unfortunately worked most of the time and if I wasn't working I was traveling within the country to the next location. So I didn't get to do much exploring. But I had a lot of fun and had two amazing shoots there.\nWW: Who are you looking forward to working with during Fashion Week?\nKG: Naeem Khan is always a pleasure to work with each season. And my good friend Katie Gallagher. She got a lot of buzz last season for her first show. I think this season will be amazing for her.\nWW: Who are you looking forward to seeing during Fashion Week?\nKG: I always look forward to seeing Carine Roitfeld and Anna Dello Russo! They really know how to bring it! And hopefully there will be a Lady Gaga sighting...\nWW: Are you working overseas this fashion week or just traveling?\nKG: I am not traveling to Europe for fashion week this season but definitely Paris for next season!\nWW: Crazy that we are in a new decade? 2010! What are you excited about this year? Any resolutions?\nKG: I am very excited for the new decade! I think my career is going to go to the next level this year! I am excited for more traveling and working with more amazing people. As for resolutions...I'm already on track with them but I'm not telling!!!\nWW: You've always had such a great sense of style. What are you adding or changing to your style come Spring 2010?\nKG: Oh thank you!! I plan on adding some Spring '10 Givenchy, Rick Owens, Peter Pilotto, Ann Demeulemeester, Hannah Marshall (a friend), Katie Gallagher, and perhaps some Commes! And more white, nude, and grey! I am also open to an amazing print. As you can see I have a little bit of a shopping obsession!\nWW: Honey! obsession is an understatement! I can't help but feel slightly responsible for feeding you to the fashion wolves, so to speak. Please tell me you're feet will be adorning the McQueen 10'' amazingness!!?\nKG: Well you can't take full credit! But you helped me take it to another level. I don't know if the McQueenadillos are even being sold. But I have photos of me wearing them on a shoot! They are major!!! It's like walking in pointe shoes. Lucky for me I have 8 years of crazy ballet training behind me!\nWW: How would you describe your personal style with both make-up and clothes?\nKG: My personal style is very dark. As I said I mostly wear black. I love interesting shapes and silhouettes. I usually wear tight black jeans with some short of amazing shape up top or really short skirts and dresses! And I love a bold shoulder! In make-up I rarely change my look. It's always a strong black smudgy eye with lots of mascara. A natural face and lip. On rare occasion I go completely natural or I will add a red lip. That's always shocking!! My look has been called \"luxury goth\", which I find funny! And I get that I resemble Cher from the 60's a lot!\nPhoto by: http://facehunter.blogspot.com/\nWW: What key make-up looks are you liking for SP '10? & What should be left in '09?\nKG: I loved the bold lips on the runway that we saw at Givenchy, Prada, and Rodarte to name a few. Also the absence or focus on the eyebrow. I also loved the severe eyes at Rick Owen! Stunning!\nKG: What should be left in '09 is the super 80's inspired make-up a la Marc Jacobs!\nWW:If you had a palette of colors that was signature to you, what colors would make up this pallette?\nKG: I definitely use a lot of neutral tones. There would be black, white, terracotta, variety of greys, various taupes, nudes and browns. But I love pops of color as well so I would also throw in some red, pink, purple, blue, green, orange, and yellow! I love it all!\n(Here is a little palette I put together inspired by KG.)\nWW: What are your thoughts about a bold lip?\nKG: I LOVE a bold lip. Not everyone can pull it off though. It takes a lot of self assurance. And some people just don't have the lips for it! I think if you are going to go for a bold lip it has to be the right shade for you as well. And my advice is not to pair it with a dark eye. Choose to focus on your eyes or your lips. Most people cannot pull off a full face!\nWW: Is less more?\nKG: I think for the everyday woman, less is more. Especially on the skin. Most women think they need a full face of foundation when they should really only conceal where needed. Subtle enhancements on the face are always best. But there are exceptions to this as well. People that have \"a look\" and can pull off more, by all means do it. It just has to be well done and appropriate. But, in fashion, sometimes more is more! I love to experiment and really take it there in my work.\nWW: Who/what is inspiring you at the moment?\nKG: What always inspires me is the person in my make-up chair. I work very organically. I have ideas of course but once the person is in my chair and I start working the face in front of me inspires what the outcome will be. And obviously the clothes are very inspiring to me. Editorial is a very collaborative effort. So the styling and hair will also inspire me. It really all depends. In general I am inspired by my travels and the different cultures I have had the pleasure to see. And I am inspired by art, movies, pop culture, and music.\nKG: As far as my personal style goes I am inspired by various time periods like the 60's, 80's and 90's. My style icons are: Edie Sedgwick, Siouxsie Sioux, Patti Smith, Anita Pallenberg, Robert Smith, and Nico.\nWW: What bands are you listening to lately?\nKG: The usual suspects: Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Beatles and The Zombies. I like to stick to the classics!\nWW: And who are you wearing most?\nKG: I am wearing a lot of Rick Owens, Ann Demuelemeester, Margiela and some Givenchy.\nWW:Quote of the moment?\nKG: \"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.\" -Coco Chanel", "char_count": 7756, "token_count": 1939, "k_exact": 1.7958, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7259, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Medical device researchers are encouraged to comply with the medical device vulnerability disclosure recommendations of the FDA and the ISO/IEC standard for vulnerability disclosure\nKennedy Space Center, Fla., and New York, September 20, 2016 – NH-ISAC, National Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center, and MDISS, Medical Device Innovation, Safety and Security Consortium, two leading organizations addressing the global public health challenge of medical device cybersecurity and cyber safety, encourage all medical device researchers to comply with the medical device vulnerability disclosure recommendations of the FDA and the ISO/IEC standard for vulnerability disclosure.\nSafe, effective, and secure medical devices are critical to advancing our nation’s public health. To optimize patient safety while considering a security vulnerability, it is critical that medical device researchers collaborate with manufacturers, the FDA, and ICS-CERT. This collaboration expedites a detailed assessment of a medical device based on sound engineering best practices and enables appropriate risk mitigation.\nDr. Dale Nordenberg, Executive Director of MDISS, notes that “when identifying security vulnerabilities that may pose a risk to patients, it is critical that medical device researchers provide detailed engineering methods to support a timely collaborative peer review process by manufacturers, ICS-CERT, and the FDA of any potential medical device vulnerability.”\nIdentification of potential medical device cybersecurity vulnerabilities, especially those that may impact patient safety, should be disclosed consistent with the FDA guidance, Postmarket Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices (January 2016), and, specifically, per the FDA recognized ISO/IEC 29147:2014 standard noted in this FDA guidance.\nAs the standard states: “Inappropriate disclosure of a vulnerability could not only delay the deployment of the vulnerability resolution but also give attackers hints to exploit it. That is why vulnerability disclosure should be carried out appropriately.” ….and that ….”Vulnerability disclosure is a process through which vendors and vulnerability finders may work cooperatively in finding solutions that reduce the risks associated with a vulnerability.”\nThe ISO/IEC standard states that “the goals of vulnerability disclosure include the following:\na) ensuring that identified vulnerabilities are addressed;\nb) minimizing the risk from vulnerabilities;\nc) providing users with sufficient information to evaluate risks from vulnerabilities to their systems;\nd) setting expectations to promote positive communication and coordination among involved parties.”\nDenise Anderson, President, NH-ISAC emphasizes “While medical device researchers should follow the applicable manufacturer published vulnerability disclosure process; we encourage any medical device researcher to reach out to NH-ISAC for assistance in connecting to manufacturers, as needed, to promote prompt response and patient safety.”\nNH-ISAC and MDISS continue to convene medical device manufacturers, health systems, and other key stakeholders to develop cyber information sharing activities including those that support the FDA postmarket guidance. These activities are open to all stakeholders including medical device researchers.\nNH-ISAC and MDISS will be convening two workshops in Minnesota this month: (1) this year’s fourth medical device cybersecurity workshop at the end of September; hosted by Mayo Clinic and (2) a one-day medical device vulnerability information sharing workshop to support the FDA post market draft guidance; hosted by St. Jude Medical.\nABOUT NH-ISAC – The National Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (NH-ISAC), the official healthcare information sharing and analysis center, offers non-profit and for-profit healthcare stakeholders, such as: independent hospitals, IDN “providers”, health insurance “payers”, pharmaceutical/biotech manufacturers, laboratory, diagnostic, medical device manufacturers, medical school and medical R&D organizations, a community and forum for sharing cyber and physical threat indicators, best practices and mitigation strategies. NH-ISAC is a non-profit corporation funded and owned by its members. Membership is open to any healthcare stakeholder seeking protection of valuable PHI (personal health information) and compliance with Federal HIPAA regulations and standards, driving the assurance of patient health and life safety and fostering continuity of operations. Joining the NH-ISAC is one of the best ways health and public health services firms can do their part to protect the industry and its vital role in critical infrastructure. To learn more about the NH-ISAC or to become a member, please visit www.nhisac.org.\nABOUT MDISS – The Medical Device Innovation, Safety and Security Consortium (MDISS) founded in 2011, is a non-profit public health initiative and patient safety organization focused on medical device cybersecurity, along with practical technology, operations and policy solutions for improved safety of connected medical devices. MDISS was the first organization dedicated to these important medical device cyber health challenges and, in 2015, began to expand internationally. MDISS members bring deep expertise to inform an understanding of technical vulnerabilities; however, MDISS programs also support the development of epidemiologic methods, regulatory science and a public-private partnership model for public health interventions.

While, the average U.S. home price is $181,000 and for more than $130,000 less than that, you can become a homeowner. However, for that rock bottom price tag you may have to sacrifice a few things on your homebuying wish list such as size, location, age and amenities. Let's look at your options listed through Trulia.com:\nA Work In Progress\n3 bed/2 ½ bath single-family home in Grove Park\nLocation: Atlanta, GA\nTo make this your new home you're going to have to either finish it yourself or hire a contractor to finish the work since it's only partially complete. It requires drywall work, electrical exterior painting, countertops, appliances, driveway and more. You may be able to realize a great profit if you can price the work right and you like the location; however it's going to take some major additional cash to make it livable. (Follow this step-by-step guide to make your homeownership dreams a reality. Read Top Tips For First-Time Home Buyers.)\nNot The Best Area\n3 bed/2 bath 1,512 sq ft. single-family home\nLocation: Beaverton, OR\nThis property is a manufactured home in very good, move-in condition and boasts a new roof along with well-rated local schools. Its location (bordered by a major highway and freeway) may be a turnoff for some potential buyers. In addition there are disproportionately more neighborhood homes for sale that are either in foreclosure or are already bank-owned than in nearby areas which may mean that it's a less attractive area for buyers or that prices haven't dropped as much as necessary.\nIt can also indicate that you may be moving into an area that has a glut of vacant homes because former owners have had to move out.\nHistory In the Making\n2 bed/1 bath 897 sq. ft. condo in Hyde Park\nLocation: Boston, MA\nThe upside is that, as a short sale, the property is well under the local median sales price of more than $262,000, and it's located near public transportation for an easy commute into the city; the downside is that it will require a cash infusion to make some much-needed improvements, especially considering that the property is nearly 100 years old. (Don't let a slow real estate market drag you down - steer clear of these pitfalls.

While the property doesn't offer a fenced yard or lawn to speak of, it is located in a thriving downtown suburb with a lower than average crime rate and high number of college-educated homeowners and young families.\nThe cost of living in this area is relatively high so this property may help you afford to reach your goal of homeownership in this area. Similarly-sized REO townhomes are listing for at least five to seven times as much!\nLove It Or Lease It\n2 bed/1.5 bath 1,040 sq. ft. townhome off Military Highway\nLocation: Dallas, TX\nThis property is on a pretty tree-lined street in the Riverview Estates/Bruton Terrace neighborhood in Dallas, just outside the city. The downside is that it's currently leased to a tenant for 12 months; if you can buy and hold until the lease is up and then either move in or rent it again it might be a deal worth considering.

Also, the local crime rate is well above national averages - three times higher overall (for all types of reported crime) and six times higher than the national average for robbery. Safety might rule this sale out. (\nNeeds Some TLC\n2 bed/1 bath 1,006 sq. ft. duplex in Old North Milwaukee\nLocation: Milwaukee, WI\nThis short sale two-family property is located in a nice neighborhood with wide, tree-lined streets but also comes with a long list of needed repairs. If you're intending to move in or use it as an investment property you'll need to drop money on kitchen and bath remodeling, extensive roof and gutter repair, and drywalling work due to old roof leaks.\nHowever if you've got the cash (or elbow grease and skill) you'll get a gem in the rough - the home was built in 1928, has original hardwood throughout and sits on two acres. The home price is 24% lower than the local average list price and 63% lower than the average home price for properties in the same zip code. Depending on the renovation expense it might not seem like enough of a bargain to seal the deal!\nPriced To Move\n3 bed/1 bath 1,528 sq. ft. single-family home in Autumnwood\nLocation: Mobile, AL\nThis brick, ranch-style home is an REO property that is selling for nearly $40,000 less than the last time it was sold - 22 months ago it sold for $85,400. The home was built in 1959 and features wood floors, a fenced backyard, newly-painted rooms and newly-tiled kitchen, and attractively landscaped front lawn. (Don't let buying a home bust your budget. Make sure the house you choose is worth the price you pay. Read 10 Tips For Getting A Fair Price On A Home.)\nThe home is priced to sell - comparable properties in the neighborhood are selling for $30,000 more. And while the area is predominantly made up of families the local crime rate is twice the national average overall and nearly four times higher for certain types of crime including robbery and property crime. Get to know the neighborhood well before you rush to make an offer.\n4 bed/1 bath 2,340 sq. ft. in Granite School District\nLocation: Salt Lake City, UT\nThis property has just entered the foreclosure process, meaning that the person holding the mortgage has defaulted on the loan.\nThe property has been on the market for nearly four months (before the homeowner defaulted on the loan) so that may indicate it's either in poor condition or not a great buy for the location even if it is priced at 72% lower than the average list price for homes in the same zip code.

-{"text": "Plans released in November show commitment to transitioning from coal to clean energy to address air pollution and climate emissions\nThis is part one of a two-part blog covering China’s new 13th Five Year Sub-plans on Climate, Environment and Power, written with Noah Lerner, Princeton-in-Asia Fellow in NRDC's Beijing office\nWith uncertainty hanging over the U.S.’s future climate contributions under the Trump Administration, three new Thirteenth Five Year sub-plans released recently by the Chinese government on controlling greenhouse gas emissions, environmental protection and development of the power sector provide assurance that China will continue to deepen its environmental and climate actions regardless of any change in U.S. policies. These sub-plans add concrete measures and targets to the climate goals outlined in China’s overall 13th Five Year Plan for Economic and Social Development released last spring. (See our previous analysis on that plan). The Greenhouse Gas Control and Environmental Protection plans reinforce what is happening on-the-ground in China as the country is likely to achieve its third year in a row of reducing coal consumption, contributing to a reduction of its carbon dioxide emissions by about 0.7% last year.\nChina’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Control Work Plan and Power Sector Development 13th Five Year Plans (FYPs) came out just as countries convened in November for the COP22 climate negotiations in Marrakesh, Morocco, while its Ecological and Environmental Protection 13th FYP (hereafter referred to as the Environmental Protection 13th FYP) was released later in the month. Covering a comprehensive set of policies, these documents lay out benchmark goals for 2020 that will put China on track to over-achieve its 2030 Paris goals, strengthen enforcement of environmental laws and standards, and continue its transition to low carbon energy. While challenges remain, including addressing the remaining pipeline of planned coal power plants that risk becoming stranded assets under China’s low carbon transition, the policies set a clear direction for continued action that will help reduce China’s and global greenhouse gas emissions, and improve environmental quality and public health in China. In this blog post, we discuss the significance of the GHG control and Environmental 13th Five Year Plans. The climate implications of the Power Sector plan will be covered in a second blog post.\nChina’s Roadmap for Controlling Greenhouse Gas Emissions During the Next Five Years: Strengthening control of CO2 emissions and coal consumption\nThe State Council released its 13th Five Year work plan to control GHG emissions (Chinese) in early November just before the Marrakech COP, reaffirming China’s commitment to do its part in combatting global climate change. The plan begins by reiterating a key climate goal: China will peak its CO2 emissions by 2030 and make its best efforts to peak earlier. To do this, the work plan sets out a range of targets and policies related to controlling and reducing CO2 emissions, including reiterating goals to reduce China’s carbon intensity (CO2 emissions per unit of GDP) by 18% by 2020 compared to 2015, reduce energy intensity by 15%, increase non-fossil energy to 15% of the energy mix (from 12 percent at the end of 2015), and increase forest stock volume and coverage to 16.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) and 23.04 percent, from 15.14 bcm and 21.66 percent as of 2015.\nThe GHG Control work plan also reiterates a total energy consumption cap target of 5.0 billion tons of coal equivalent and a coal consumption cap target of 4.2 billion tons for 2020. This 4.2 billion coal consumption cap target was included in the 2014-20 Energy Development Strategy Action Plan, but this is the first time that a 13th Five Year Plan has included the target. Both the GHG Control work plan and the Environmental Protection 13th Five Year Plan include strengthened policies on controlling coal consumption, given the importance of this task to controlling China’s GHG emissions and its PM 2.5 and other air pollution. The GHG Control work plan notes that severe air pollution regions and cities should continue to reduce their coal consumption after 2017, the final year of the 2013 Air Pollution Action Plan that established the original coal consumption reduction mandates for the Jing-Jin-Ji (Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei), Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu) and Pearl River Delta regions.\nRecognizing that reducing coal consumption is key to improving air quality, the Environmental Protection 13th FYP (Chinese) adds a goal to reduce coal’s share of total energy consumption to 58 percent by 2020, compared to 64 percent in 2015. It also establishes specific coal consumption reduction targets for key air pollution regions: Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and the Pearl River Delta are to reduce their coal consumption by about 10 percent by 2020, compared to 2015; while Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui are to reduce their coal consumption by about 5 percent. Given the significant coal consumption in these regions, this will result in a reduction in coal consumption of about 140 million tons by 2020 if the regions all fulfill their targets. This would be equivalent to eliminating the annual coal consumption of South Korea, thus demonstrating the Chinese authorities’ continued focus on transitioning China’s energy structure from coal to cleaner energy.\nAlso under focus is reducing coal consumption in China’s cities, requiring all prefecture-level cities that do not meet China’s air quality standards to achieve an 18% reduction in their average annual PM 2.5 levels by 2020. The Environmental Protection 13th FYP specifically calls on China’s 10 cities with the worst air quality, to continue to implement their plans to reduce coal consumption. The use of “dispersed coal,” i.e., the coal for residential heating and cooking and small-scale industrial boilers, mainly in rural areas, also comes under aim, given its disproportionate contribution to air pollution. In Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, for example, studies have found that cleaning up dispersed coal emissions could reduce PM 2.5 levels by up to 32%. The GHG Control work plan and Environmental Protection plan set targets to reduce dispersed coal use by replacing it with natural gas and electric heating, expanding district heating and green buildings, and upgrading and phasing out smaller inefficient boilers. Urban areas with district heating and natural gas networks are to ban the use of dispersed coal.\nGiven that China’s coal consumption was 3.96 billion tons in 2013 and has continued to fall in 2014, 2015 and this year, we believe the 4.2 billion ton and 58% coal consumption cap targets can be achieved and even improved upon. The China coal consumption cap project’s research for the 13th Five Year Plan coal cap policy recommends a 2020 coal cap target of 3.5 billion tons and 55 percent of total energy consumption, achievable by reducing excess industrial capacity, expanding energy efficiency and non-fossil energy, and implementing fiscal, tax and market measures to account for coal’s environmental and climate impacts. Strengthening implementation of national, sectoral and local coal cap targets to reduce coal consumption to 3.5 billion tons (compared to the study’s reference scenario of 3.9 billion tons) would reduce PM 2.5 emissions by 1 million tons and prevent 71,000 premature air-pollution-related deaths per year, while helping China contribute greatly to addressing global climate change by avoiding 850 million tons of CO2 emissions.\nThe GHG Control work plan includes several other key measures to address coal consumption and develop low carbon models, as well as address other non-CO2 GHG emissions:\n- Large power generation companies must achieve a fleet-wide average of 550 grams of CO2 emissions per kWh by 2020, which requires that they continue to expand their low-carbon generation resources such as wind and solar while limiting the operation of their coal power plants. This strengthens the 2015 target of 650 grams of CO2 emissions per kWh. According to the 13th Five Year Plan for Electricity Development, Chinese coal power plants in 2015 consumed an average 318 grams of coal equivalent per kWh, emitting 890 grams of CO2 per kWh, while a wind or solar farm emits zero. Based on 2016 electricity generation data, the Chinese electricity system as a whole in 2016 emitted about 620 grams of CO2 per kWh. While the 550 grams of CO2 per kWh is a significant target, there is a need for greater transparency, including a regular scorecard on how power generators are doing in meeting this target.\n- The work plan directs economically developed regions to peak earlier than the national 2030 target, including supporting efforts by the 23 Chinese member cities of the Alliance of Peaking Pioneer Cities (APPC) to set targets and develop plans to peak early. It also sets specific carbon intensity reduction targets of 12-20.5% for each province, and calls for establishing 50 pilot “near-zero emission zones,” expanding the current low-carbon cities program from 42 to 100 cities, and establishing 80 low-carbon industrial zones. It also calls on certain heavy industry sectors to peak their CO2 emissions by around 2020.\n- Finally, the plan notes that China will establish a national carbon market next year, which will cover all enterprises that emit over 10,000 tons of coal equivalent in eight major industries. By pricing carbon, China is seeking to expand the role of market forces in developing, manufacturing and operating low carbon energy sources, technologies and practices. The work plan calls for strengthening monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) at the national, local and enterprise levels, and developing a complete carbon cap-and-trade system by 2020 with active trading, strict management, and transparency.\n- Importantly, China’s GHG Control work plan is looking beyond CO2 to strengthen policies to control other GHG emissions, including methane and HFCs. This includes reducing methane emissions in the agricultural sector and in municipal waste and sewage treatment. In line with the recent Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol, the State Council’s GHG Control work plan also calls for developing an action plan to control the emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), man-made “super greenhouse gases” used as refrigerants and other applications. The plan also sets new targets for controlling emissions of one type of HFC, HFC-23, a greenhouse gas with 14,800 times the warming effect of CO2, requiring that all HFC-23 emissions basically be destroyed according to the standard, and reducing HCFC-22 production and consumption (HFC-23 is a by-product of HCFC-22) so that production in 2020 is 35% less than that in 2010.\nWith the GHG Control and Environmental Protection 13th Five Year Plans, China is showing its commitment to deepening policies to reduce coal consumption, develop low carbon technologies and policies, and pursue a path towards cleaner development. Key to this energy transition will be greening the electricity sector. In our next blog, we review the 13th Five Year Plan for power sector development and the challenges and policies needed to develop a low-carbon power sector.", "char_count": 11356, "token_count": 2839, "k_exact": 3.4622, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8896, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Think we're just trying to faithfully serve our readers? ...okay, the answer to the last one is a definite \"yes,\" but don't think for a second that the head honchos from Sony don't care about what is written about them and their company.\nSCEA president Jack Tretton handled Sony's hour-and-a-half conference at E3, and we must say, he did very well. We've seen him speak before at plenty of other events, of course, and along with the now departed Phil Harrison, we always thought Tretton was both informative and engaging. But as journalists, we have a responsibility to report the bad along with the good, and that includes our own opinions when editorials are involved. So what happens when we interpret some of Sony's news as bad? Well, Tretton says he \"bleeds\" when something like that happens. At the end of a bonus one-hour roundtable after the E3 conference, the last question asked was, \"Do you ever get nervous when you say something and you see all the keyboards light up at the same time?\" Tretton replied:\n\"I get nervous every time that I open my mouth. I'd love to tell you that I don't read everything that gets written, and you know, I do, let them all eat cake. I bleed with every word that's written. You can't make everybody happy, not everyone is going to agree with you. I care about some unknown guy that responds to one of your blogs and trashes something I said. It's tough to make everyone in your family love you let alone everyone in the world. It's the price of admission, but yeah, it freaks me out.\"\nWe often forget how easy it is to sit back and judge from the comfort of our own chairs at home, safe from scrutiny or backlash (for the most part). We always have to appreciate the job requirements for something like \"SCEA president,\" because we sure as heck don't want to be up on that stage! But we still soldier forth in our jobs as he does in his; if Sony doesn't do so well, and the news is bad - 'cough' the PS3 launch 'cough' - we're gonna tell our readers about it. But when things start to go right, guys like Tretton will reap the rewards of our words.

We took this weekend as a chance to get some of our work done.\nThe weekend was really fun, we had a karaoke night at a hostel when we finished our work and then returned to the home the next day. India gate is not as exciting as we had hoped though, we didn’t realise that the cars drive through it!\nOne of the older girls asked us to do 5.30am yoga with her on the balcony on Monday so we woke early & waited for her. She was still asleep and didn’t join us but it was nice to see the area so quiet when usually there are children laughing and cars honking all day. We should have woken a little bit earlier to see the sunrise!\nThis week the girls finished writing the narration for the play and we completed many run throughs of the show.We finished the scenes this week and managed to give the girls an experience of what a professional rehearsal week would be like, using directors notes and fun vocal and physical warm-ups. This is the last week the girls will get the chance to rehearse before the show.\nWe found out that the girls were not to perform their full 20 minute performance so we condensed it to 2 critical scenes. This took some negotiating on the girls’ part but they agreed to perform the alien and jungle scenes. This also allowed for really exciting costumes for the show.\nWe spent a session dedicated to giving the girls the materials to create their costumes for the show. They all had really exciting ideas. We provided feathers, masks, glitter, glue etc. and the home staff provided us with clothes that the girls were allowed to tear apart and sew together to create costumes. They were helping each other out, sticking feathers in each other’s hair, providing each other with needle and thread & really coming together to create the costumes.\nLast week we were very organised about how the structure of the play would be created, they worked in 2 groups to create 3 scenes each to develop a play with 7 scenes and it worked very well. This week we managed to bring the scenes together very well so that they could see each other’s achievements. The main focus was teaching the girls how a play would come together.

-{"text": "The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services User Account Management\nIn this section, we take many of the abstract concepts we learned in the first part of the book and begin to apply them to real-world problems. One of the most common programming activities that most developers will perform against Active Directory and ADAM is user account management.\nActive Directory user management is fairly straightforward once we know all of the basic rules. However, there are many interesting rules and behaviors concerning how attribute values in Active Directory are used to determine how user objects behave in Windows. In order to get the results we want, it is important to learn these rules and behaviors. We try to demonstrate most of them in this chapter.\nTo a lesser extent, we also investigate user account management in ADAM. ADAM is very similar to Active Directory in most respects, but it has a few significant differences worth pointing out.\nWhen we speak of user objects for the remainder of this chapter, we are really talking about the user class in both Active Directory and ADAM. This is the class that acts as a security principal for Active Directory (and often, for ADAM). It is typically the class that we care the most about. The first thing we are likely to want to do with user accounts in Active Directory is find them. Given all that we know about searching from Chapters 4 and 5, this should be easy. Essentially, we just need to know where we want to search and what filter to use to find users.\nLet’s start with the LDAP filter. Our goal is to build an LDAP filter that will find exactly what we want and that will be as efficient as possible. A few attributes in Active Directory distinguish user objects from other object types that we can use to build a filter:\nThe objectCategory attribute has the advantage of being single-valued and indexed by default on all versions of Active Directory. This attribute is meant to be used to group common types of objects together so that we can search across all of them. Many of the schema classes related to users share the same value of person as their object category. While this is useful for searches in which we want to find information across many different types of user-related objects, it is not as useful for finding the user objects we typically care about (which are usually security principals). For example, in Active Directory, since both user and contact classes share the same objectCategory value of person, it alone will not tell them apart.\nThe objectClass attribute seems like a no-brainer, as (objectClass=user) will always find user objects exclusively. The problem here is that in many forests, the objectClass attribute is not indexed and it is always multivalued. As we know from the section titled Optimizing Search Performance, in Chapter 5, we generally want to try to avoid searches on nonindexed attributes, so using objectClass alone in a filter might not be the most efficient solution. This is why we see a lot of samples that search for user objects using an indexed filter like this:\nThis will get the job done, but we can do even better than this.\nOne key difference between contact objects and user objects in Active Directory is that user objects have a sAMAccountName attribute that is indexed by default. Thus, we could build a filter like this:\nThis will separate the contacts from the users effectively. However, another approach is available that can find user objects directly, and it may be the most efficient technique for Active Directory:\nUsing the sAMAccountType attribute with a value of 805306368 accesses a single-valued, indexed attribute that uniquely defines user objects. The only downside here is that this attribute is not well documented, so it may not be recommended by Microsoft. However, in our investigations, it is effective.\nOne piece of good news is that all of these attributes are included in the global catalog, so we can use all of these filters there as well.\nThis should provide a foundation to build on for various user object searches. We may also wish to combine these filters with other attributes to find different subsets of user objects matching specific criteria. We will see some examples of that in the rest of this section.\nFinding Users in ADAM\nThings change a little bit for ADAM, because we don’t have things like sAMAccountName or sAMAccountType on an ADAM user. These attributes are actually from the auxiliary class called securityPrincipal. This class happens to be slightly different depending on whether it comes from Active Directory or ADAM. In this case, the securityPrincipal class does not contain sAMAccountName or related attributes in ADAM.\nThis means that we need to adjust our filters slightly to find our users in ADAM. It turns out that we can use some other indexed attributes, such as userPrincipalName, to find our users. However, since this attribute is not required, we have to be careful and ensure that all of our user objects have set a value for userPrincipalName.\nAs mentioned in Chapter 8, ADAM also includes the idea of a userProxy object that we often will want to return as well. To do so, we should look for common attributes found on both classes that would filter them for our needs. In this case, we know that both the user and userProxy classes contain userPrincipalName, so it is a good candidate for this purpose. We could use a simple filter such as (userPrincipalName=*) if we knew that all of our objects would have a value set for this attribute. However, since not all user or userProxy objects might have a value set for userPrincipalName, we would have to use objectCategory to be safe. For example:\nThe implications here are that if any other class in the directory also shared the same objectCategory of person or userProxy, they would also be returned. In default ADAM instances, this does not occur, but we should always check with our particular ADAM instance. Now, if we want to separate the two classes and treat them differently, we can use objectClass, as the classes are different for each type:\nThe first filter will return only user objects using objectCategory as an index, and the second will return only userProxy objects in the same manner. It is important to remember that we can customize ADAM heavily with application-specific classes. We should never rely on the fact that any particular class will be there or even be indexed. As such, these are only guidelines, and we really need to check the particular ADAM instance’s schema ourselves to determine what is there.", "char_count": 6594, "token_count": 1648, "k_exact": 3.0397, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9705, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "The second and final debate took place tonight between all three candidates in the MA Senate race, Scott Brown R, Martha Coakley D, and Joseph L. Kennedy (no relation). Brown and Coakley jousted intensely throughout the debate:\nBrown promised to be the 41st vote against the health care reform bill pending in Washington, saying the proposed legislation was “broken” and “we need to start over.”\nBut Coakley said, “I’d be proud to be the 60th vote to make sure we get health care reform that we so badly need. ... The status quo is simply unsustainable.”\nThey should have ended the debate, right there…that’s all people need to know.\nThe debate comes as the race is beginning to draw national attention, with some polls showing Brown drawing unexpectedly close to Coakley in a race for a seat long held by a Democratic icon, the late Edward M. Kennedy, in a Democratic-leaning state.\nThe fireworks in the debate came between Coakley and Brown, while independent candidate Joseph L. Kennedy, who is not related to the legendary Massachusetts political family, remained on the sidelines.\nSome of the sharpest exchanges occurred between the two candidates when they were allowed to ask each other questions, with Brown at one point telling the veteran prosecutor as she pressed a question, “I am not in your courtroom. I’m not a defendant.”\nBrown called some of Coakley’s statements “outrageous,” while Coakley told Brown, “You cant distort my record and not be accurate about your own.”\nCoakley criticized Brown for supporting Bush-era tax cuts for higher-income people, saying, “He wants to go back to those Bush-Cheney policies that provide for the very wealthiest.”\nBrown retorted, “You can run against Bush-Cheney, but I’m Scott Brown. I live in Wrentham. I drive a truck. And, yes, it’s 200,000 miles on it now. You’re not running against them. You’re running against me.”\nHe reiterated his previous claim that Coakley’s support for health care reform, among other positions, meant she would saddle taxpayers with tax increases of $2.1 trilllion.\nBut Coakley shot back, “It doesn’t matter how many times you say ‘$2.1 trillion,’ it doesn’t make it accurate, or even close to being accurate.”\n“What I support are, in fact, relief for the middle class, a health care plan that will be self-supporting,” she said.\nThe two candidates also disagreed on how to fight terrorists and President Obama’s recent decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. Brown said he supported the decision.\n“I agree with the president,” the Republican said. “I support his effort to finish the job in Afghanistan.”\nBut Coakley said she felt the United States should “plan an exit strategy” because terrorists are no longer in the country and the US should focus on getting “appropriate” intelligence information and using the “force necessary” to go after terrorists.\nBrown said he felt it was “naive” not to address the “very real concern” of terrorists in Afghanistan.\nBut Coakley said, “I think it’s naive to think that we have the troops to send everywhere and they are the best way to go after people who are terrorists who disappear into the night who do trainings and who get on planes, frankly, with bombs in their shoes and other pieces of clothing.”\nI’m waiting for tonight’s debate to appear on YouTube. In the mean time, you can watch Friday night’s debate, here.\nThe Money Bomb fundraising campaign is still ongoing until midnight.

-{"text": "Battle of Craney Island\nIn June, 1813, the British were cocky. They had only encountered ineffective local militia. They had blockaded Chesapeake Bay and chased the frigate U.S.F. Constellation into Norfolk, VA. At Craney Island, protecting both Hampton Roads and shipyards at Portsmouth and Norfolk, VA, was a small military contingent. In every land battle so far, the Americans had run rather than fight overwhelming odds. The British did not expect much opposition.\nInstead, they planned to capture the island, continue on to the larger Virginia cities, and capture the stranded frigate. According to a lieutenant from the Constellation who visited the blockading fleet under a flag of truce, the British officers said they would strike at the ship soon, vowing that “they must & will have it!”\n“The British became the victims of their own overweening arrogance,” says Maryland historian Christopher T. George, author of “Terror on the Chesapeake: The War of 1812 on the Bay” and editor of the Journal of the War of 1812.\n“They thought they were facing ill-trained rustics. So they rowed in as if they were just waiting to be shot at. They were sitting ducks.”\nGeneral Robert Taylor\nAs General Taylor wrote in his letter of July 4, 1813, to the Secretary of War: “The whole force on the island at the time of the attack, consisted of 50 riflemen, 446 infantry of the line, 91 state artillery, and 150 seamen and marines furnished by Capt. Tarbell. Of these, 43 were on, the sick list.”\nHe added, “I cannot withhold my grateful acknowledgments to Com. Cassin, Capt. Tarbell, and the officers and crew of the Constellation and gunboats, who have in every instance aided our operations with a cordiality, zeal and ability, not to be surpassed.”\nThe ship’s crew helped, but as British Napier lamented in his journal, “A sharp cannonade from the works on the island cost us 71 men, without returning a shot.”\nThe British did not capture the Constellation, and they left the area without attacking Norfolk.\nThe reported number of British casualties varied by source. There were approximately 80 killed, wounded and missing. One barge was captured and at least two more were severely damaged. The defenders did not suffer any casualties in the first major War of 1812 victory on Chesapeake Bay.\n“The British had all the advantages. They had the numbers. They had the firepower — and they should have won,” said former Virginia War Museum director John V. Quarstein.\n“You can’t go visit Craney Island today. It’s not immortalized by a song like the ‘Star-Spangled Banner,'” he adds.\n“But the battle there was the first big American victory in a long string of defeats on the Chesapeake Bay — and it deserves to be better remembered.”", "char_count": 2729, "token_count": 682, "k_exact": 1.7239, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7307, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "This page in brief\nHow do people get to be christians? Do many convert by their own choice, or do most just get born into christian families or christian countries? And what does this say about whether people have good reasons to be christians?\nI couldn’t find good answers to these questions, so I decided to do some research and analyse the data myself. The answers were interesting, and maybe a little surprising – about a third to a half of present day christians are converts.\nSceptics and converts\nCritics of christianity sometimes argue that most christians believe without good reason. This argument is partly based on the “fact” that most people in the world follow the religion of the country they were born into. Therefore, the argument goes, if they were born elsewhere they would believe differently, thus demonstrating that most people’s faith is based on geography rather than good reasons, and few people convert because they are convinced of the truth of christianity.\nTesting the argument\nThe argument raises a challenging point, although it seems to fall short as an argument:\n- Believing in the religion one was brought up in doesn’t make that religion wrong – or right.\n- If a religion grows, as christianity has grown, it must, as a matter of sheer mathematics, start out by making converts. But as it becomes larger, the number of people born into the faith must inevitably increase.\n- Christianity is in decline in most of the traditionally christian countries of the west (mainly Europe and North America), but is growing fast in generally non-christian countries in Asia and Africa. This suggests christianity finds it easier to make converts than to retain those born into a christian heritage.\nBut what are the numbers?\nIf you can’t find it, do it yourself\nI couldn’t find the information I needed online (only one source came close, but as noted below, the information was problematic). So I decided to gather the best information I could find and develop a population model in a spreadsheet. I am not a demographer, but I am familiar with spreadsheet models. A more detailed description of what I did is below.\nHow many christian converts?\nThe spreadsheet modelled christian and non-christian populations in the west (Europe and North America) and the rest of the world, and was calibrated to conform to known data. It produced the following results.\nUsing data on the number of those who self-identified as christians, the model suggested about 30% of christians living today were converts and about 70% were born into nominally christian families or culture.\nI also wanted to see if the result changed if only those who were “active” christians were considered (approximately identified as those who attended church regularly). On this basis, about half of christians living today were converts and half were born into christian families.\nThis model and the history of christianity\nChristianity began in the Middle East, and grew by making converts. Within a few centuries there were more christians in Europe than anywhere else. By 1900, christianity had become entrenched in christian culture in Europe, but it was beginning to lose numbers. So the graph shows that there were then relatively few converts in Europe and North America, and most christians were born into the faith.\nBut the twentieth century also saw the beginning of a massive growth in christianity in Africa and Asia (and a change in the style of christianity in South America). So the number of conversions began to rise again. This growth continues to this day, but inevitably will eventually lead to more people being born into christian families, and the number of converts will probably begun to drop as a proportion.\nClearly many christians (about 30-50%, depending on how “christians” are defined) living today are converts from a “non-christian” background. They clearly had some reason to change faiths.\nMore about the model (for those interested)\nIt is very hard to find reliable and consistent information about population and religious belief. Here are my sources:\n- World population by Pew Forum, Wikipedia, DSS Research, Vaughn’s, Geohive, Worldometers, University of Botswana, ADMC and Facts & Details.\n- Christian numbers by Questia, Pew Forum, Douglas Jacobsen and Why Church\n- Birth, death, conversion and deconversion rates, by World Bank, The Guardian, Pew Forum, Tom Smith and Wikipedia.\n- Church attendance by Church Leaders, Hadaway, Marler & Chaves, Adherents.comClaude Fischer, PBS, Wikipedia, Nationmaster andFranck & Iannaccone.\n1. The model uses 10-year periods from 1900 to 2013. Calculations were done for the west (Europe and North America) and the rest of the world, and then summed to give the global figures.\n2. In each period, the data for the previous period was used to calculate the numbers of births and deaths (for the whole community and just for christians), plus conversions to christianity and ‘deconversions’ from christianity. These allowed the values for total population, christian converts, christians by birth and non-christians tro be calculated for the end of the decade.\n3. The birth and death rates were adjusted as necessary to allow the known populations to be reproduced by the model. This then determined the births and deaths within the christian community.\n4. Then the estimated conversion and deconversion rates were adjusted to accurately reproduce the estimated christian populations.\n5. The percentage of the christian community in the ‘converts’ category could then be calculated from the final populations in 2013.\n6. All this was done for the referenced values for the overall christian populations – this measures what may be termed christian culture, for it is based on nominal beliefs. To determine the results for what may be termed ‘committed’ christian belief, the figures for the ‘christian populations were amended to reflect church attendance. (These figures were generally lower, e.g. in North America, ‘christians’ comprise about 80% of the population, but church attendance is about 40%.) A second spreadsheet then performed the same calculation to give the second figure.\n- The only data that could not be obtained and tested by the model was the initial percentages of christian converts in 1900. But the model was run for a range of likely values, and the model was not too sensitive to the starting assumptions – ranges were 29-36% of nominal christians but 46-53% of church attenders.\n- The results make sense. While christianity in the west is fairly static, it is growing fast in the rest of the world, where about two thirds of the world’s christians now live. I would therefore expect there would be a relatively large number of converts from the rest of the world.\n- The only other estimate I have seen (by the World Christian Database) gives a lower percentage of converts (about 10%) but (i) the result doesn’t actually measure converts, but the residual of conversions – deconversions, (ii) some of the WCD figures were inconsistent, even within themselves, and (iii) there was no way to obtain the populations shown by the data sources using the WCD figures.\n- I am therefore happy that the model makes a good attempt to reproduce established data.", "char_count": 7243, "token_count": 1810, "k_exact": 2.875, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.927, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

But at the end of the day the budget of a sovereign state that borrows money in its own currency is all about spending levels. The proper goals of a budget negotiator are to maximize cuts to bad programs and minimize cuts to good ones. When higher taxes helps achieve the latter goal, that's great.

-{"text": "December 22, 2016\n(++++) IT’S ALL ABOUT THE ART\nDog Man #2: Dog Man Unleashed. By Dav Pilkey. Graphix/Scholastic. $9.99.\nNobody Is Perfick. By Bernard Waber. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. $9.99.\nThe whole point of these books is to be fun to look at – and it’s a pretty good point. Yes, Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man Unleashed has a plot – a convoluted, over-complicated one, in fact – and yes, Bernard Waber’s Nobody Is Perfick has some points to make, rather gently. But neither the story nor the homilies will be the main reason kids will enjoy these books: it is the art that will attract young readers and keep them interested. Pilkey is best known for the Captain Underpants books, “created” by made-up kids named George Beard and Harold Hutchins – this explains the drawing style and a lot of the plot elements. Dog Man Unleashed, a sequel to Dog Man, is cut from the same cloth, then woven and raveled or unraveled to provide much the same level of coverage of all things silly. Dog Man is a dog-headed cop – the stitches holding his head to his body are seen clearly – created when a bad-guy cat blew up a top cop and his top-dog canine helper, killing the man’s head (but not his body) and the dog’s body (but not his head). A touch of magical mystery surgery later and, ta da! Dog Man. In Dog Man Unleashed, our hero has to try to cope with his doggy instincts, which include licking all the bones in a pet shop and preferring smelly dead fish to live ones – and inevitably, one of his instincts, playing with a ball, eventually saves the day. He also has to deal with reporter Sarah Hatoff, rescue dog Zuzu, an evil fish, the continued depredations of Petey the Cat (the evil mastermind who inadvertently led to the creation of Dog Man in the first place), a new and completely flat Petey based shamelessly on Jeff Brown’s Flat Stanley, a reanimated carnivorous dinosaur – well, the list goes on (and on), but rest assured that Dog Man is equal to all challenges, even those coming from Dr. Boog E. Feeva, the local witch doctor, whose prescriptions include “living spray” and “obey spray.” The puns and ridiculous plotting spray pretty much everywhere, and that makes Dog Man Unleashed fun for parents as well as kids (assuming kids will give up this graphic novel long enough for parents to read it). Pilkey channels his inner George and Harold so well that it is hard to be absolutely, 100% sure that Pilkey is real and George and Harold are his creations. It just might be the other way around. We ought to put Dog Man on the case: something about all this smells fishy.\nLike Pilkey, Waber (1924-2013) is best known for something other than the newest release under his name: he was the author of Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile and the series that followed. But back in 1971, in the days well before graphic novels, Waber created a kind of proto-graphic-novel – actually a series of stories – called Nobody Is Perfick, in which every page has a mixture of cartoon drawings and words, and the stories are told through the combination. Waber’s style here is vaguely reminiscent of Jules Feiffer’s: his characterizations come through clearly in these black-and-white drawings, in which the kids tend to be shown in less detail than their surroundings. The expressiveness of the characters’ faces is one wonderful element here. Another is the way Waber captures some of the not-wholly-intentional cruelties of children to each other. “Say Something Nice,” for instance, involves a boy named Arthur talking to a girl named Harriet and saying only things that he knows she feels are not nice, starting with “lizards,” “spiders,” and “creepy things,” and eventually escalating to “monsters” that “are crawling out of caves” and have the kids surrounded. Harriet gets more and more frightened, or seems to – but when her mother calls her to come inside, Harriet tells Arthur how much fun he is and says she wants to get together again the next day, leaving Arthur at the end with nothing to say but, “Grrr.” In “That Was Some Daydream,” a girl doing math homework is determined to focus and not have a daydream, and goes through a series of contortions (some literal) to avoid the daydream that, inevitably, she has anyway. “No Rain Again Today” is a complaint against sunny weather by a boy with new rain gear. In “Sitting Up Straight,” a boy says – and shows – how his best intentions to sit alertly in class gradually turn into a slump. These and the other stories here explore the everyday trials and tribulations of childhood in a way that makes the mundane special. And Waber’s wry humor is everywhere, most clearly in “Peter Perfect: The Story of a Perfect Boy,” which goes on and on telling about and showing all the ways in which Peter is 100% perfect, only to reveal at the end that no such boy is or ever could be real. That will be a relief to readers who rediscover Nobody Is Perfick – or, more likely, discover the book and all its charms for the first time in this new edition.", "char_count": 4979, "token_count": 1244, "k_exact": 2.8536, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9065, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "In the Wall Street Journal, Historian John Q. Wilson writes the speech he thinks George Bush should deliver on Iraq:\nWe are winning, and winning decisively, in Iraq and the Middle East. We defeated Saddam Hussein’s army in just a few weeks. None of the disasters that many feared would follow our invasion occurred. Our troops did not have to fight door to door to take Baghdad. The Iraqi oil fields were not set on fire. There was no civil war between the Sunnis and the Shiites. There was no grave humanitarian crisis.\nSaddam Hussein was captured and is awaiting trial. His two murderous sons are dead. Most of the leading members of Saddam’s regime have been captured or killed. After our easy military victory, we found ourselves inadequately prepared to defeat the terrorist insurgents, but now we are prevailing.\nIraq has held free elections in which millions of people voted. A new, democratic constitution has been adopted that contains an extensive bill of rights. Discrimination on the basis of gender, religion, or politics is banned. Soon the Iraqis will be electing their first parliament.\nAn independent judiciary exists, almost all public schools are open, every hospital is functioning, and oil sales have increased sharply. In most parts of the country, people move about freely and safely….\nThe progress of democracy and reconstruction has occurred faster in Iraq than it did in Germany 60 years ago, even though we have far fewer troops in the Middle East than we had in Germany after Hitler was defeated.\nWe grieve deeply over every lost American and coalition soldier, but we also recognize what those deaths have accomplished. A nation the size of California, with 25 million inhabitants, has been freed from tyranny, equipped with a new democratic constitution, and provided with a growing new infrastructure that will help every Iraqi and not just the privileged members of a brutal regime….\nWe made no mistake ending Saddam’s rule. We have brought not only freedom to Iraq, but progress to most of the Middle East. America should be proud of what it has accomplished. America will not cut and run until the Iraqis can manage their own security, and that will happen soon.\nI got into lots of blog hot water once when I said that much of Bush’s problem is a PR problem. Yes, that was too glib. But I am still amazed that for all the spinning he does, he’s still bad at it. He should hire Wilson as his speechwriter.\n1. I have put my expected gain ahead of the well-being of the people of the United States. In seeking to maximize my wealth and the wealth of my family and close friends, I have ordered our military to invade Iraq. My objective was to grab half the Iraqi oil – worth $50 billion per year, and rising.\n2. In implementing my attempt to grab Iraq’s oil, I have caused the deaths of more than 2000 Americans and uncounted tens of thousands of Iraqis. I have also caused the maiming of thousands of Americans and Iraqis. I have also wasted hundreds of billions of dollars of US Treasury funds in fighting the war in Iraq.\nThis is why wikitorial was doomed to fail.

He went shopping for me something to cheer me up. I thought he was just at the house the entire time. I get to the house and we are getting ready to fix dinner.

-{"text": "Hi readers! I thought I’d take a moment before launching into the post to introduce my sister, Sarah Callahan who will be writing occasional fitness themed articles for my blog! Sarah also went to Mizzou’s J-School and has a journalism background, so she’s a writer at heart. When she isn’t exploring fitness classes throughout the city of Chicago she works in marketing for 120 Sports, a cool new all-sports video network built for the digital generation!\nThese days, everything can be done via an on-demand, concierge-like service. Whether it’s dry cleaning, grocery shopping or an alcohol delivery app, it’s possible to receive all the necessities in life without ever leaving the comfort of your home.\nWhen I was approached to try out RightFit Personal Training, the first thing that drew me in were those very same attributes; ease of service and simplicity we’re all accustomed to and enjoy. RightFit is a personal training service that pairs you with a trainer based upon an extensive online survey process. It is similar to any of the well-known and comprehensive online dating services, but instead of pairing you with a potential mate, they set you up with your perfect personal training match! The more specific you are in your survey, the higher quality matches you receive. The goal is to find you a trainer you are comfortable working with long-term toward your fitness goals.\nThe survey started with a series of basic questions such as ranking your current fitness level, the neighborhood you’d like to train in, a price point you are comfortable with paying per session and if you prefer a male or female trainer. Next, it got a bit more specific to explore your personal fitness goals- what fitness components are you interested in (i.e. muscular strength, flexibility, body composition, etc.) and your short term and long term goals.\nAs the website suggested, I was very honest with my survey and explained my goals: wanting to improve my body composition, decreasing fat and increasing muscle, as well as working on an overall leaner body structure, specifically leaner legs. I explained that though I am currently very active and consider myself to be quite fit, working-out 5-6 times a week and attending a variety of fitness classes, I still have not been able to attain my ideal body.\nLess than an hour after completing the survey, I was contacted by Matt, the owner of RightFit, with a profile on Kim, a trainer he thought would be a great fit based on my needs. Kim’s experience in interval training, kettlebells and strength training definitely seemed like a great match. Since I have a gym in my apartment building, he suggested that she come over to my place for the session. Not having to leave my apartment building and getting a great work-out in? I couldn’t have asked for anything better! If you do want to get out of your home or don’t have an in-home gym for use, there are several gyms to train at in each Chicago neighborhood that they help to coordinate for you.\nKim showed up at my building at 7:00am on the dot Friday morning filled with energy. I was really impressed by how prepared Kim was, bringing extra equipment with her to my apartment including her own mat and resistance bands. She explained that typically the first session is simply an assessment to get to know my body and goals, but since I wanted to get a full review of the service for Beyond ExpecTastetions, she also planned to add in a quick circuit work-out at the end of the session for me to learn and try out.\nThe initial functional movement assessment was immensely beneficial, as I’ve never really explored the strengths and weaknesses of different parts of my body so thoroughly. Kim started off by doing a quick evaluation of my body position- examining the way I hold my head and shoulders all the way down to the alignment of my legs and feet. I really liked that she explained each component of my body and helped with realigning my movements and to ensure I was maintaining proper form.\nNext, we moved on to a movement analysis to assess my ability to maintain proper joint alignment. We did a series of leg balances & leg straightening techniques using a resistance band to assess the alignment of my legs to the rest of my body. It was pretty evident that my hips & legs are a bit uneven since I had a really hard time lifting my left leg up perpendicularly to my body and holding it there in a balance (you can see me struggling in the picture!) Throughout the rest of the session Kim made sure to go back to our key movement techniques to help realign my hips and legs. It was great that it wasn’t something she evaluated at the beginning and then forgot about; we went back to it several times throughout the session. She never made me feel uncomfortable that my body was a bit out of line, reassuring me that she saw this all the time and citing several reasons it may happen and how we can fix it. I was really impressed by her knowledge on the human body.\nFollowing the movement assessment, Kim helped to evaluate my form for several key movements: push-up and planks, as well as dead lifts, squats and dead bug sit-ups (kind of like a combination of bicycle sit-ups and reverse crunches). I was pretty familiar with most of these exercises from my prior fitness experience, but Kim was particularly helpful in correcting my dead lift and squat form. Something that I thought was really cool was that Kim had me remove my shoes for these exercises. When the arches of my gym shoes weren’t constricting my feet, it made it MUCH easier for me to perform each movement (just be careful not to drop the weights on your feet!) Kim made minor adjustments in my posture for both the dead lifts and the squats that made the exercises SO much more effective like keeping my shoulders and butt way farther back then I was used to.\nFinally, we went through the 15 minute circuit Kim had promised me: 5 dead lifts, 5 squats with weight, 10 dead bug sit ups, 45 second weighted walk, as many reps as possible in 15 minutes. I was very conscious to make the adjustments that Kim had suggested in each of the different exercises and felt great running through the circuit. Even though I only performed the circuit for a total of 15 minutes, I definitely felt a burn throughout my body based on the movements Kim chose.\nSome of the best advice that Kim gave me during the session was that it is important to take your time while going through circuits and not to rush. Since I am frequently attending circuit training and HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes at studios throughout Chicago, I am used to quick intervals and rushing from one exercise to the next. I thought it was incredibly interesting that Kim explained that I would see more changes in my body by using higher (heavier) weights and take my time, rather than trying to get in a higher number of reps.\nThe RightFit Personal Training sign up was an incredibly easy process and Kim’s session was one of the most beneficial hours of fitness and training I have experienced in a while. There is no reason not to give an intro session a try (if you’re energetic and love to learn, I definitely recommend Kim!).

-{"text": "Misfit Monday? Nope. This week it’s Tragic Tuesday.\nIt may be a while before I start posting particularly upbeat blogs again. Although, I will share the one bit of good news I have: Aiden is alive. Aside from one broken key (found where to buy replacements) and an A key that is a bit temperamental, all is well with him. So this isn’t in memory of my 4-year-old laptop.\nIt’s in memory of my baby. Sunny, my 12-year-old golden retriever, who was basically a rescue dog when she was 6 months old. I’ll tell you her story, if you care to listen.\nIt starts with Sam. Sam was probably the most energetic, play-driven dog ever. He was hyper. Really hyper. And we didn’t know what to do for him. My parents got the idea that maybe we should get a puppy for him, a playmate. So we started looking, and my mom found an add in the newspaper for a 6-month-old golden retriever puppy that needed a new home. So we took Sam with us to make sure they’d get along, first of all.\nThe moment they met, they were instant friends. Love at first sight, no exaggeration. The family had been trying to take care of her, but with what had been going on, she had basically been suffering from neglect. So we took her home that night, and day after day at our house we watched her become happier and live up to her name: Sunny.\nSam and Sunny were the perfect match. For three years they were absolutely inseparable. And then Sam died very suddenly of what was basically canine sars. The best vets in the state did an autopsy because they wanted to know what killed him and even then it was inconclusive.\nSunny was heartbroken. I thought it was going to be like Where The Red Fern Grows, where Little Ann dies of loneliness and heartbreak after Old Dan is killed by the Mountain Lion. Sunny’s face started turning grey, and she wasn’t even 4 years old.\nWe knew at that point that Sunny needed a friend. So we contacted a breeder we had met when I took Sunny to the state fair in dog obedience for 4H. They also had a female golden named Sunny. My Sunny knew all the obedience stuff, she just didn’t want to do it because she wanted to be with people and make new friends instead. Turns out they had a litter of puppies recently, and we claimed a little boy. When we brought him home, Sunny was like wtf is this little thing? Why does it keep following me? It took her about a week to figure out that it was a puppy, and that she could play with it. He wasn’t Sam, but he would suffice.\nThe two remained together, and although Sunny wasn’t as attached to Skittles as she was to Sam, or as much as Skittles was to her, she returned to her regular, overly happy Sunny state of being. Sunny had various health problems over the years, including a torn ACL which she had surgery on, to another torn ACL which eventually healed up on it’s own (she couldn’t have surgery on this one because of another health problem).\nAnd then late last fall she was diagnosed with kidney disease, which would claim her life over the course of a few months. We kept her medicated and well cared for much longer than could be hoped for, nearly 8 months. She had off days, and last thursday we thought it was just another off day, but as the hours went by, we began to wonder if it was more than that. Friday she was possibly worse, and we rushed her off to the vet. I has to carry her to the car and into the vet because she was too weak to move more than her head and her tail. The vet ran some quick x-rays, and what he suspected based on what we had told him was backed up, although the x-rays weren’t absolutely conclusive. Sunny had a specific kind of tumor that had grown off her spleen and it had ruptured, causing major internal bleeding. Even on young healthy dog, one of these tumors was absolutely fatal. My dad called my mom at work, and the vet explained what was going on, and she said she’d leave work and come in. By the state Sunny was in, I was worried my mom wouldn’t get there in time. But she did, and we spent the next hour saying our goodbyes. A minute before the vets took her into the back to put her to sleep, she gave my mom and I the most hearty tail wag she possibly could, and I’m fairly sure she used the last of her strength to do it, to tell us she loved us one last time.\nI’ve never been part of the choice on whether or not to put an animal down before. I’ve never gotten to say goodbye either. With Sunny, I watched her weaken within the three hours we were at the vet, to the point where I knew she had hours left at best. My mom gave me the option to take her back home, but I didn’t even know if she’d live long enough for us to get her home. It was her time. So we said our goodbyes, and told each other I love you.\nShe’s with Sam again, her soulmate. Running around, playing, like they used to do when I’d take them to a park near here and let them off leash. Her tail is going in circles, because that’s what it does when she gallops along. There are plenty of stuffed animals for her to tote around (we called them her dead ducks), and they all smell like me because the more one smelled like me, the more she loved it. There are plenty of friendly strangers for her to just go up and greet. And there will be mischief to be had, especially with teasing Sam. What may be decades for me will be the blink of an eye for her, when I see her again.", "char_count": 5338, "token_count": 1334, "k_exact": 2.3686, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8486, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "A New Jersey teacher’s lawsuit for alleged national origin discrimination took an unusual turn in a recent court hearing, according to media reports. The plaintiff alleges that she was subjected to disparate treatment and retaliation because of her Palestinian heritage. Hashem v. Hunterdon Cty., et al., No. 3:15-cv-08585, 2d am. complaint (D.N.J., Oct. 19, 2016). During a hearing in early 2017, the defendants reportedly claimed that the case lacks merit because Palestine is not a “nation,” and therefore the plaintiff cannot claim “Palestinian” or “Palestinian-American” as a national origin. While this does not appear to be a prominent element of the defendants’ legal arguments, it captured media attention, and it raises important questions about how U.S. and New Jersey employment laws define “national origin.”\nTitle VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) both expressly identify national origin as a protected category for discrimination claims. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a), N.J. Rev. Stat. § 10:5-12(a). The term “nation” can have multiple meanings, depending on the context. It can refer to a sovereign country, such as the United States, Canada, or Mexico. It can also refer to a group of people with a shared heritage, language, or culture who do not have their own distinct country, like the Indian tribes of the United States, the First Nations of Canada, and trans-national regions like Kurdistan. Palestine, with its limited international recognition and “non-member observer” status at the United Nations, would seem to fit the second definition.\nSince “countries” can come into being and cease to exist, multiple courts have held that “national origin” is not limited to countries in existence at the time of a discrimination claim. In Pejic v. Hughes Helicopters, a court held that Serbians were a protected class at a time when Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. 840 F. 2d 667, 673 (9th Cir. 1988). Serbia had been independent in the early 20th century and would become independent again in the 1990s. The Pejic court cited a district court decision finding that Louisiana Acadian—a/k/a Cajun—is a national origin under Title VII. Roach v. Dresser Ind. Valve & Instrument Division, 494 F. Supp. 215, 218 (W.D.

It follows that the use of sports references or analogies can come in very handy, as they will help people easily connect and relate to your message.\nIndeed, when it comes to G-d and sports, a recent study (see here) found that nearly 30% of Americans say that G-d plays a role in the outcome of sports events.

Truth be told, I am not against watching the game, and although I myself do not have the luxury of dedicating even a few minutes to indulge in watching twenty two men bang and slam into each other-as things go this is one of the more innocuous diversions which someone can chose from.\nHowever, even with acknowledging that the diversion of the Super Bowl is relatively banal, nevertheless a diversion or better said a departure it nonetheless is. Meaning, let us ask ourselves a basic question.\nWhy do so many people spend hours and often much money to sit and watch the game? Indeed, any and every thinking person certainly realizes that none of the players-irrespective of their respective uniform-represents you as an individual.\nThe life style, salary scale, and entire world outlook of any of the players is probably very different than the average viewer of the game, and certainly and hopefully radically different than your Orthodox Jewish game-watcher. So, let’s go back to our original question.\nWhy watch the game?\nThe answer I believe has already been given away.\nThe game is a diversion or better said ‘a departure’.\nFrom what do we want to ‘depart’? We want to depart from many things; however, most surely we want to remove ourselves from the reality of the pressures of life. Life is hard; there is no doubt about it. It is hard to make a living in this world and it is difficult to raise a family. It is challenging to get up in the morning and perhaps even more so to go to sleep on time. Yes my friends, life is hard.\nTherefore, for a few hours on a Sunday evening in February 163 million Americans escape from the lethargic doldrums of daily like and are transformed into the heroes of the stadium.\nFor a few brief hours these couch potatoes become active athletes through vicarious competition. It is nice to escape and perhaps even necessary. Indeed, when I dissolve myself in the virtual world of my writing I escape.\nAnd when I immerse my being into the sea of Torah, I am also departing from the humdrum and pedestrian pace of daily life.\nThere is nothing wrong with escaping; just make sure that the place you depart to is superior to the place you have escaped from.\nPhoto Credit: Malingering", "char_count": 5153, "token_count": 1288, "k_exact": 2.7546, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9056, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "As a basketball enthusiast on both the collegiate and pro levels, it’s always interesting to watch a guy elevate from an amateur in college and be able to watch him throughout his career in the NBA. On the other hand, I’m always amazed by guys who prove to be better in the pros than they were in college. Deron Williams comes to mind. But it’s also very disappointing to see special college players never make it on the next level. The guy who I would’ve most liked to have seen enjoy a long NBA career is Randolph Childress from Wake Forest.\nFor those of you out there who remember Childress, you know what I’m talking about. He could fill it up like nobody’s business. Known mostly for his outside touch, he was still able to put the ball on the floor. He was very unassuming. In his 4 years at Wake, he averaged 14.0, 19.7, 19.6 and 20.1 points per game respectively. That’s pretty impressive. As a senior, in 1995, and joined by sophomore Tim Duncan, he put on one of the best performances, perhaps ever, in college basketball. The 1995 ACC Championship game was epic thanks to Childress. I can’t even put into words the type of show he put on against North Carolina that day. To say that he scored 37 points doesn’t even begin to describe it. Just about everything he threw up went in. The Tar Heels, led by Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse didn’t really have much of an answer for him. Nor did Jeff McInnis. What Childress did to McInnis right here was just straight up disrespectful. There’s really no eloquent way to put it. Especially the way he signals for him to “come here” after McInnis falls. Because of this move, I was never able to take McInnis seriously as a pro because all I could see was was this move.\nI got chills watching that again.\nChildress was drafted #19 overall in the 1995 Draft by Detroit but only hung around in the league long enough for a cup of coffee. A very small cup. Since leaving the NBA, he has played internationally in Turkey, Australia and Italy. He was a tremendous talent and it honestly bugs me that we weren’t able to see him enjoy a long NBA career. Generously listed at 6’2″, what played against him was that he was an undersized shooting guard (I think he was more of a shooting guard than a point). Nevertheless, he was truly a joy to watch. Here’s a full clip of the 1995 ACC Championship game highlights.\nIf you’re looking for your everyday, predictable basketball talk, then go somewhere else, because Kevin Burke of The Kevin Burke Project brings provocative, thought provoking content about basketball as only he can.

-{"text": "Live edge wood slabs, when used in décor, offer an added dose of texture and one-of-a-kind style. Because no two are ever the same, you can rest assured knowing that your piece is completely custom-made. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to turn a live edge wood slab into either a coffee table or a bench that can be changed up on a whim.\nThings You'll Need\n- Live edge wood slab\n- Wood carving tools\n- Sand paper, 40-grit and 100-grit\n1-inch foam paintbrush\n- Clear urethane sealant\n- 4 flat table leg brackets\n- 16 #8 1 1/2 inch screws\n- 4 16-inch wood round tapered table legs with threaded center section and metal caps\n- Drill bits to match the screws and table legs\n- Electric drill\n- Painter's tape\n- 1-inch foam paintbrush\n- Interior paint in your color of choice (orange was used for this project)\n- Felt table leg pads (optional)\nStep 1: Find and Prep a Slab of Live Edge Wood\nTo find a live edge wood slab, visit your local lumber yard. These large warehouses often source all types of wood and will have a section specifically dedicated to wood that still retains its natural edge and bark. Once you've chosen your slab and brought it home, cut off the bark with a sharp carving tool (if desired) and sand both sawed edges and the sides of the slab where the bark was removed with sandpaper—first with a rough 40-grit, and then a finer 100-grit sandpaper.\nThen finish the slab prep process by coating the entire slab with two coats of clear urethane sealant—including the sides of the slab where the bark was cut off—using a foam paintbrush. Allow the urethane sealant to dry for one hour between coats, and allow the final coat to cure for a full 24 hours.\nBe sure to wear thick safety gloves while trimming the bark off your wood slab. You'll also want to wear safety goggles and a face mask while sanding.\nStep 2: Place and Mark Where the Table Leg Hardware Will Go\nFlip the wood slab over and place your four flat table leg brackets where you'd like them to go on the underside of the tabletop. You can use a ruler to ensure an even placement on the wood. For this project, the hardware was placed 1 inch in from the front and back of the table, and 14 inches in from either end.\nHold each bracket in place, and mark through the bracket holes with a pencil. Make sure to mark all four of the screw holes on the corners of the brackets, as well as the center hole where the table legs will be screwed in.\nStep 3: Drill and Screw in the Table Leg Hardware\nUsing drill bits matched to the widths of your screws and to the center threaded section of the table legs, pre-drill all five holes that were previously marked on the underside of the wood slab. Then, use an electric drill outfitted with a Phillips-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the wood with the accompanying screws.\nStep 4: Mask Off the Ends of the Table Legs\nUse painter's tape to carefully mask off the metal caps of the tapered table legs so that they don't get paint on them. Press the tape firmly in place before moving on to the next step.\nStep 5: Paint the Table Legs\nPaint 2 to 3 coats of an interior paint in your desired color on the wooden table legs using a foam paint brush. Allow each layer of paint to dry for one hour between coats and allow the final coat to cure for a full 24 hours. Remove and discard the painter's tape.\nStep 6: Screw in the Painted Table Legs\nSituate each of the four table legs over the center of the metal brackets on the underside of the wood slab, and screw them into place by turning the entire leg over the hole. Make sure that the threaded section on the end of each table leg securely screws into the pre-drilled hole you added in the center of the bracket in step 3 to ensure a tight, wobble-free construction.\nStep 7: Style Your Live Edge Wood Slab as a Coffee Table or Bench\nFlip your completed live edge table over and check for stability. Because live edge wood is often rough hewn and not perfectly straight, you may need to add a felt cushion to the bottom of certain legs that don't quite touch the floor. This will further stabilize the table and prevent it from wobbling when in use. Finish by styling the bench as either a coffee table or bench!\nGet the DIY for the headboard pictured above here.", "char_count": 4241, "token_count": 1060, "k_exact": 3.3302, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8929, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Screenings are sure to sell out quickly this year, so make a list and buy tickets early. These are the movies you don't want to miss.\n- I Am Another You\n3 out of 5 stars\nChinese national Nanfu Wang first started working on I Am Another You when she was a New York University film student on vacation in South Florida. She met a charismatic young drifter named Dylan Olsen and spent most of her vacation following him around to document what his life was like living on the street. If you already think you know how the rest of the film goes from that brief synopsis – the drifter turns out to be less of a free-spirited hero than a manipulative grifter – you're both right and very wrong. After Wang parted ways with Olsen, she went on to make the acclaimed documentary Hooligan Sparrow, about Chinese human rights advocate Ye Haiyan, before following up. The difference between Wang's approach in the first act of I Am Another You, filmed when she was a student, and the latter two thirds, filmed after she had the experience of running from Chinese police in pursuit of Hooligan Sparrow's story, is palpable. Early on, Wang falls prey to the rookie mistake of making herself too much of a subject. But her subsequent investigation into Olsen's past and present ends up – for both better and worse – humanizes him. It's a revealing look at how first impressions – even if accurate – fail to tell the whole story. – TM\n- Honky Tonk Heaven: Legend of the Broken Spoke\n4.5 out of 5 stars\nIf you don't already have a favorite bar in Austin, Texas, you will after seeing Honky Tonk Heaven. The documentary tells the story of James and Annetta White, the proprietors of the Broken Spoke, an old-school country dancehall smack in the middle of trendy South Austin. James White tells stories about the history of the place over its half-century in existence – which included residencies by Willie Nelson and George Strait – while introducing the viewer to the importance dancehalls had in country music culture. Those days are long gone, but the Spoke keeps plugging along, even as modern multi-use apartment buildings spring up all around (sound familiar, Orlando?). With plenty of live music performances and even a little bit of a two-step lesson thrown in, Honky Tonk Heaven is as close as you'll get to spending a night at the Broken Spoke without having to travel to Texas. – TM\nInternational FilmsPop Aye\n3 out of 5 stars\nA touching look at getting older and maintaining a connection to our youth, Pop Aye is the story of Thana (Thaneth Warakulnukroh), a Thai architect who is finding himself to be more and more irrelevant both professionally and in his strained relationship with his wife. But when he has a chance meeting with the elephant he had when he was a boy growing up in rural Thailand, he decides to purchase it and bring it back home. The ensuing road movie is filled with memorable characters like a hypochondriac ascetic, a trans prostitute and a pair of beleaguered policemen. Though the journey sags in the middle, much like the titular elephant, Pop Aye is filled with just the right amount of humor and pathos to make it a recommended watch. – TM\nMidnight FeaturesBad Black\n3 out of 5 stars\nBy any normal standard of filmmaking, Bad Black is not a \"good\" movie. A product of the zero-budget \"Wakaliwood\" film industry of Uganda, Bad Black utilizes amateur production techniques and actors to tell a uniquely Ugandan version of an over-the-top American-style action film. The plot can be hard to follow, but thankfully there's a narrator who fills in gaps while providing MST3K-style commentary about the characters and events on screen. It's a perfect fit for the festival's midnight slot, and will undoubtedly be a hit, especially since this screening is customized for Orlando audiences. – TM\nBirdboy: The Forgotten Children (Psiconautas)\n4 out of 5 stars\nCute animated animals deal with not-so-cute issues in this feature-length adaptation of a Spanish graphic novel. On an island devastated by some unspecified industrial disaster, Birdboy scrapes out an existence in the forest. Like a goth version of Looney Tunes' Egghead Jr., he drags his skeletal, black-suited self mutely through daily horrors – illness; drug use; trying and failing to fly; nightmares of terrifying demons. He's pursued by Dinky, a troubled schoolgirl (schoolmouse?) who wants to escape the island, but doesn't want to leave Birdboy behind. As she and her friends (a bunny who hears voices telling her to do bad things and a tubby, bullied fox) make their way through the scary dump full of mean, violent rats, they confront class warfare, rage, pain, greed and a lot of other stuff that's not usually on the menu for adorable cartoon critters. Psiconautas screens as a midnight movie, but aside from the trippy visuals and occasional flashes of black humor, it isn't average midnight movie fare – these animated characters are more likely to make you cry than laugh, and will stick in your mind for days after viewing. RIYL: dystopia, teen angst, anthropomorphic alarm clocks. – JBY\n3.5 out of 5 stars\nThe festival presents a special screening of Unrest, a documentary about people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). The film is special not just for its topic but because the director and subject, Jennifer Brea, grew up in Orlando. After developing a high fever several years ago, Brea slipped into what is often labeled \"chronic fatigue syndrome.\" But she didn't fight just the condition, she fought for answers – on film.\n\"It was like I had died but was forced to watch as the world moves on,\" she says in the documentary. \"I didn't know what else to do, so I just kept filming.\"\nBut instead of becoming a self-indulgent cinematic exercise, Unrest embraces everyone who has suffered silently with this misunderstood condition (17 million worldwide, 85 percent women) and partially morphs into a medical thriller by exposing the horrible history of \"female hysteria.\"\n\"Central Florida is where I spent all of my formative years, and it's where I spent all of my time, dreaming what I would grow up to become and what I would do with my life, and it's also where I fell in love with film,\" Brea told OW. \"[This screening] rivals how I felt about appearing at Sundance. I'm really excited to be coming home.\"\n\"One of the amazing and I think really beautiful things about filmmaking is that it is a collaborative, creative process,\" she says. \"When I started production, I was almost homebound and almost entirely bed-ridden, and at first I tried to travel to go on shoots, and I would, you know, go an hour from my house and would shoot for a day on location and would spend the next 30 days in bed. ... It took six months to get to six shoot days. ... I started to think about what were some sort of technological solutions that would allow me to have a presence in the field without actually having to travel to set. What I want people to take away [from the film is that] life is fragile and often unpredictable, but I think that it is ... possible to find a way to survive, and I think that's what a lot of the film is about on the deepest level,\" she says.\n\"We are fighting. This is a movement.\" – CM\nCompetition Documentary Features\n- Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape\n4 out of 5 stars\nHats off to the documentary Cassette for handily answering the question, \"Are cassettes still a thing?\" Yes, they're still a fucking thing, and they never really weren't \"a thing,\" for those in the underground interested in transmitting their sounds in an affordable, quickly produced physical medium. At the core of this documentary is the notion that cassettes represented a democratization of sound production and dissemination in a way that no physical medium had before or since. This love letter to the format is all heart – the emotion during interviews with Henry Rollins, Rob Sheffield, Daniel Johnston, National Audio Company employees, and DJs Ron G and Red Alert is palpable. The true coup of this film, however, is extended conversations with Lou Ottens, the inventor of the cassette tape. He talks about his work with a dispassionate lack of nostalgia. And yet, there is one beautiful moment towards the end when Ottens, the slightest smile creeping across his face, confesses fondly, \"The best thing is, it's not over yet ... all those crazy people are still working with cassettes.\" – MM\n3 out of stars\nFor most of us, it's too late to run away and join the circus. But the next-best thing might be watching Circus Kid, a delightful documentary that shines its follow spot not just on the history of the modern American circus but the meaning of family. At just 71 minutes, Circus Kid might seem too slight. And the fact that it's directed and partially narrated by its subject, Lorenzo Pisoni, might strike some as self-promotional. But the stories that Pisoni presents about the famous Pickle Family Circus and the countless clowns and acrobats (including Bill Irwin) it inspired will likely inspire you too, regardless of your opinions of the Big Top. The feature is accompanied by Richard Twice (3 stars), a short, partially animated documentary about a talented musician who walked away from potential fame after a life-altering stage experience in the late 1960s. It's a fascinating yet melancholy examination of how a single event can irreparably alter one's life. – CMFor Ahkeem\n3.5 out of 5 stars\nMost documentaries either report past events or observe unfolding ones. For Ahkeem is a memorable example of the latter, as its camera provides extraordinary access to Daje Shelton, a 17-year-old black girl from the slums of St. Louis. The film, directed by Jeremy Levine and Landon Van Soest, follows her for a year and a half, as she struggles to avoid legal trouble, graduate from high school, raise a baby and maintain a relationship with her boyfriend – while he is trying to stay out of jail. And behind it all is the shadow of the 2014 Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. Though the subjects' actions are undoubtedly altered by the camera, the film is still a memorable and painful portrait of a world that seems hopeless. (The film's executive producer is Jeff Truesdell, former editor of Orlando Weekly, who now lives in St. Louis.) The feature is preceded by a short Florida doc titled The Rabbit Hunt (3 stars), which is exactly what its name suggests. Directed by Patrick Bresnan, it is extremely difficult to watch, especially if you're an animal lover, but it also feels culturally and morally necessary. – CM\nShorts ProgramsInternational Animated Shorts\n3.5 out of 5 stars\nThis annual block is known for filmmakers who push the thematic and technical limits of animated cinema. This year's offering is a mixed bag of quality, but discovering the assorted treats is nevertheless a worthwhile, mind-expanding experience. Most of the 12 films are surreal, absurd or experimental, and the group would have benefited from one or two selections with a traditional narrative structure, to serve as palate cleansers for the stranger fare. In addition, Pussy (2 stars) is better suited to the midnight shorts block. (About a vagina that springs to life and escapes a woman's body to wreak havoc, it is surely President Trump's nightmare.) Most accomplished is the Spanish-language Decorado (4 stars). The only foreign-language film (with subtitles) in the group, it's both laugh-out-loud funny and hauntingly dark. Only slightly less brain-bending are The Absence of Eddy Table (4 stars), Journal Animé (3 stars) and This Is Not an Animation (3 stars), while Fears (3 stars) is the sweetest. But sweet or not, make no mistake: This is an adults-only program. – CMShorts Program No. 2: “Everybody Knows”\n3.5 out of 5 stars\nThis narrative shorts block is titled \"Everybody Knows\" in tribute to Leonard Cohen. And, fittingly, most of the characters in the eight films are either being watched or judged, but ultimately exceed or defy expectations. Cul-de-Sac (3 stars), written by and starring Oscar winner (and Florida Film Festival friend) Shawn Christensen, is well acted, shot and paced but lacks some context and emotional punch. Laurels (3 stars) offers a unique and twisty take on film festivals while providing the block with its only comedy, albeit a dark one. Zaar (3 stars) is an unconventional and touching examination of an act of terror – from the terrorist's point of view. And Zero-Zero (4 stars), about an unlikely bond between a little girl and her seemingly unscrupulous neighbor, is an absolute gem. – CM\n- New Chefs on the Block\n4 out of 5 stars\nLike pictures of food on Instagram, movies about food and chefs are apparently irresistible, and this tale of two restaurants spreading their wings is no different.\nThe film follows Aaron Silverman of Rose's Luxury and Frank Linn of Frankly ... Pizza! from construction to doors opening and through their first year, covering 2013 to 2015.\nViewers who know that 30 percent of restaurants fail in the first year, some even before opening their doors, may be biting their nails wondering whether these places will make it, especially in the challenging Washington, D.C., area, where business slows to a trickle when congress is out of session. Despite some pacing issues, including a slow start full of unnecessary Restaurant 101 info (some of the talking-head interludes are pointless — I don't care if it's Michel Richard saying it, lines like \"You have to focus 150 percent\" are just a waste of screen time), Silverman and Linn eventually emerge as engaging characters, and the filmmakers manage to make viewers care deeply about whether they'll succeed. The two men, and the two restaurants, are very different – Silverman's personal reserve dovetails with the studiedly casual perfection on his plates, while Linn seems like a big goofy kid who just wants to open a slice joint – but both end up surprising us. – JBY", "char_count": 13911, "token_count": 3477, "k_exact": 2.5364, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8804, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Debellish. When I collapsed next to her sparkling languid frame I called upon Shelley and Coleridge and Ovid and Virgil and O’hara and Miller and Penthouse Forum and every French film I saw growing up to get something back to you and…and…every line I composed simply debellished the beauty at hand. Nope, this one was for me and me alone, my friends. My words could do it no justice. No, no mortal soul could relay that info back without the transfer suffering brutally from flawed debellishments. However, when word finally leaked to Veronica and I was subjected to answer that question amidst the assault, “Was it fun!? Well I hope you at least had fun, you scumbag!” how blessed I was to have debellishments and all the lackings that come with them on my side, “No, no, please, Jeez, it really wasn’t. I hated every minute of it.”\n-- Chris Leo\nDesceltic or (di)celcian words are proud and free. They refuse all constraints of icons, phonetics, and borders, yet one way or another their point is always clear. Like shadows that move with stealth from one object to the next, Herodotus believed they came from caves. Like galleys, galleasses, gales, and the bile from the gall, they are both fluid like wind and calloused by toughened skin. When they are runes on rocks in Cork they are Keltic. When they are drunks and goons in Boston they are Seltic. When they are Milanese secessionists who draw their lineage ultimately from Czech they are Cheltic. When they were Keltoi in Greece they used another alphabet entirely. The Mandarin name for China is even Wade-Giles, like Wales-Gael. Like Smurfs they smurf smurfingly. They may conspire (\"with spirits\")at one moment, then turn and conspire (\"against the steeple\")the next, returning \"Eiffel\" to \"I fell\" and abscond on schooners like scoundrel pirates. And speaking of Pirates, Christopher Colombus' boat the Santa Maria was originally named the Gallega yet no one called it that. The Vulgate Bible misprinted certe (\"certain, forever\") as celte and it stuck. They knew. Though they are of one blood, they are from Gaul, Gall, Gael, Galatia, Gaia, Galicia, and Portugal and once spoke some form of Gaelic or Goidelic. When they gallivant in Paris they smoke Gauloise. The sound galno itself once meant “strong” in all of these hamlets, yet the word gall also meant \"stranger\" in all the same households -- yes, all those words are related. If it can be agreed that words mutate fastest on streets and ports, then it’s also worth noting that the Spanish word for “street”, calle, comes from Callaeci, the ancient Celts of the port that became Porto. These stubborn words have gall.\nDiselltious often comes from the Italian “scegliere” which means “to decide” which when then translated back to Latin means “cut off” which when then translated back to English any wise soul should interpret as “stay out of it, this word remains savage, protean, and ubiquitous”.\n\"Goccia\" is Italian for a \"drop\" and may have come from \"Galicia\" or the Portuguese Indian colony in Goa or both. In Galicia a drop is a \"morriña\" which is also their word for \"saudade\", the longing for something distant and unattainable. It's roots are said to lie in the missed feeling sailors experienced after returning home during the age of the great Portuguese discoveries. Not officially all out tears, but a few melancholic drops. These dicelcian words even move away from themselves.\n-- Chris Leo\nDethrowned reigns leisurely at both the peak and valley of the bell curve, yet it can never be dethroned. In Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diaries a young reporter takes a job in San Juan to write an editorial on why so many Puerto Ricans leave the tropics for NYC. Puerto Ricans, having the world's most priveledged duplicitous status of neither sovereignty nor statehood, neither Latinos nor gringos, have chosen only one other exclave as their own, New York City. One Million Puerto Ricans live in New York. Why? Should we not pay attention to the choices of a people graced with a wisdom that comes with such a sweet situation? Why New York then when they could just stay on their better beach and kick it? By the book’s end the only answer Thompson comes up with is “want” -- but if only he went bike riding with me that day last summer when outside of George Washington High in Washington Heights at the northern tip of Manhattan I stopped the dirty ice cart to grab a cup of tamarindo and the perfect Puertoricana who learned something in 17 years women on Madison Ave never learn in 70, that nothing looks hotter than tight jeans and a wife beater in July, asked me what I was doing in the barrio, Thompson may have arrived at a slightly different conclusion and we may therefore have never received The Rum Diaries. I told her I was “fuggin’ diggin’ the fact that between the GW Bridge and GW High in GW Heights our man GW got what he wanted on the same piece of land he was once defeated: nobody speaking the Queen’s English in his rebel state. You know, he was hoping it would be German or French we spoke. If you had told him then it was gonna be Spanish!…shit. So after this I’ll ride back downtown, try and write something smart about it, sell it, and go buy a margarita with my hypothocized earnings, you?” To which she replied, “…White guys, why you always trying to make something of yourselves?” To which, as defeated as Washington once was on this very street corner, I then hopped back on my bike consumed like a skipping record trying to think of a rebuttal for that crafty cunt all the way from Washington Heights to the Gowanus. Upon arrival at home I couldn’t write that smart essay I had hoped to. Upon margarita to my lips I could not put the needle back into the groove. Eventually the breaking rebroke when I looked at my skinny man’s pancha caused by necessary margaritas to keep me in this party I'm always trying to leave and coughed up soot I ingested while trying to get healthy and productive and I got my answer: time to move to Italy and plant my feet. A \"throne\" began in Proto-Indo-European as “to hold firm”, yet something which is \"thrown\" is not held firmly at all. An ascent up the social ladder is generally seen as a good thing, but when it comes at the expense of your accent, when every cent gained is but a seed for a more reputable nascent grade, and every July sunset is not spent with your family, cousins, and friends outdoors in the best city in the world, it is proof that your long questions should start coming in shorter sentences. She dethrowned me.\ndethrowned = relax, wait here and it will come...that is, if you're waiting for it at all. But still, so why New York? If waiting nets the same results moving does, and Puerto Ricans can see things others can't, then what better place to wait than a city where everyone's moving? Don't mix moods though, dethrowning Puerto Ricans does not make them deseatful. On the contray, it is the anxious deseated mover and shaker who's more likely up to some form of deceit or another.\n-- Chris Leo\ndissert, from the Latin dis \"apart\" + the French servir to \"serve\", is one dessert with two spoons for one couple, which is most likely similar to the original dessert which meant \"to clear the table\", to \"deserve\". There's an easy rule to follow with new words: if it doesn't sound like the word it represents it is not a new word. \"de-serve\"Therefore, be careful not to dissect dissert, keep it beautiful, don't desert the goal. Or, if that poses a problem but the old word's grown as stale as a desert and you're looking for something new, try mixing Italian with Italian for \"the true dessert,\" dulcerto (dulce for \"sweet\" + certo for \"correct\"). Just be sure to make no room for impostres (im for \"not\" + the Spanish postres for \"dessert\" = things like pizzert), or have we already disserted (think dissertation) on the topic at length.\n-- Chris Leo\nDivisionary verbs are auxiliary verbs that once supported primary verbs using “have” but now use “of”. They are semi-realized prodigals whose future evolution is obvious though the elder and middle stages are still the only versions in use. “Should have gone”, “might have known”, “could have taken” have become “should of gone”, “might of known”, “could of taken.” “Should of gone” literally means “the should part of gone” as if every verb already holds all possibilities within them. There is a should part of gone, a might part of gone, a could, would, am, was, has, and possibly even a got part already integral to “gone”. Basic verbs (be, give, have, take, keep, etc) being the most ancient verbs means relentless usage through the ages has exposed them to more mutable elements than newer verbs. In every language these verbs are never regular and therefore neither are the sentences and idioms they operate within. Though without fail the mutations of the basic verbs are gorgeous and playful, there’s an ebb and flow that in English is currently drawing them in to a gradual and temporal unirregulation (which is never quite a reregulation, but just a pull back in rather than a push out). Soon these divisionary verbs will close the bridge between the verbs they support thereby antiquating the main verbs while assuming positions of verbs proper themselves. Shouldgone, couldgone, wouldgone, and gotgone etc will solidify their previous slices of the “gone” pie into autonomous actions. Pioneering paths idioms like “how (does it) come?”, “what (does it) gives?”, “I (have) never (heard or anything like that)!” take are referencable for insight into the future evolution of these divisionary verbs before they push back out again.\n-- Chris Leo\nDownstate is not a word. Crack open the frizzy chiznazz and celebrate with River Plates because it is one rare decade indeed when you'll finally here us say, \"no.\" There is the south, down south, down there, lowlands, meridianale, extremadura, and the rainbow of other colorful words we romanticize all things \"south\" with (the best of course being \"Upper Egypt\"), but downstate? No. Put downstate in the same skinny folder with mainlining heroin and studying yoga with the sole goal of autofellatio: things not to do. Please, we will rarely ask you to draw a line. Here, draw a line.\n-- Chris Leo\nDrawer in linguistics is an historical back-formation. An historical back-formation is a back-formation that continues to dig deeper and deeper into the past rather than plow ahead into the future in search of its lost soul. In this case, a drawer is someone who necessarily betrayed someone so the story could progress, or so he’s rewritten. Without betrayal and treason the plot can not curve, he pleads. We need him, the letch whines. Naturally, a drawer feels like a traitor and a traitor feels like a piece of churned mud. What to do then to appease your inner peace while the masses about loathe you, you traitor, you traducer, you plotter! Ration it out. Find the root of the reason for your t-reasoning (\"t\" as a symbol of the Cross) and reduce. Benedict Arnold hands it over to the crowd, “You tell me! You tell me! Why then did I do it? What drives a traitor to be a traitor?” “Traitor”, he argues, comes from the same source as “tract”, “trattoria”, and even “dates” and “tradition” as well as “traducer”, “plotter”, and “dare”. From the Latin “tradere” (“to hand over, to draw out”) do we not kill the fruits of the earth so that we can survive and our story grow? Do we not betray with every full tray served? Is to serve not therefore to survive? In French a traître is a caterer. The drawer keeps going back in his quest for absolution, to the Holy Lands and the Coptic Bible! There would be no resurrection without the most selfless of all saints, Judas Iscariot. Forget not that the “jew” sound of both Judas and Jesus is from the beginning of the almighty Yahweh. Of course the dip (from Old English dyppan, “to baptize”) into the hummus (“earth, clay, mud” out of which He molded us in His likeness) happened amongst trays. What a different course history would have taken if Jesus called himself a \"Coward of Men\" (as a British surname, from \"cow herder\") rather than a \"Shepherd of Men\" (from \"sheep herder\")! The very sound are, the English verb “to be”, in Proto-Indo-European initially meant “to plow”. The drawer, poor guy, therefore simply drew the shortest straw; and “straw” of course comes from the Proto-Indo-European stere, “to spread”, to help our story spread. And the drawer's draws, poor guy, are also often as muddied as this field tilled.\ni.e. “Oh man, this thing was starting to write itself -- boh-ring --I had to be the drawer so we could get to the next episode.”\n“I’m sorry, I don’t follow.”\n“Oh well I just figured, fine, I’d be the scapegoat and rat you out to Sylvia so this thing could progress y’know? No one else had the balls to be the bad guy for the sake of movement. The ease at which you fibbed was losing its excitement to all of us, man? So for the sake of everyone I drew, I drew man, you get it now, no?”\n-- Chris Leo\nDrungry, a relative of hangry, comes from Dubai and refers not only to the mysterious equation that colories from alcohol create a need for complimentary calories from food after, but also to the type of late night/early morning cuisine you might find to satiate said need: \"A'ight, I'd like some aloo motor drungry and my sister would like a bowl of whatever it is you got stewing down there in the drungry.\"\nFolk etymoligists may try and tell you that \"the drungry\" was the lowest hold on pirate ships of the Arabian Sea where they kept their contraband hidden, but when the need actually hits, anyone living through it can assure you that the history of this word is much more direct.\ndrunk + hungry = drungry\n(for more information on the current baby boom of words from Dubai, we recommend anotherfashionblog.blogspot.com)\n-- Chris Leo\nDustriousness is a poster child for back-formations. A back-formation happens when a new word is formed by shortening a longer word when integral syllables mistaken for affixes are removed. The most confusingly disastrous back-formation occured when Prudence raced so hastely through a \"below-job\" it never grew bigger than \"blow job\" again. In this case the logic went: if a busy person is industrious then the opposite would be formed by simply removing the negating \"in\". When the new word looks like \"something which collects dust\" you light one up, call your assumption a fact, and kick back all dustriuoslike.\nindustrious - in = lazy lazy lazy\n-- Chris Leo", "char_count": 14504, "token_count": 3626, "k_exact": 2.7398, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.899, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "It wasn’t long ago that people used only little camcorders for making videos but now we have a lot of options. Many are turning to DSLRs to get the job done. A good DSLR can take high-quality video, operate well in low light situations, accept external microphones, and, of course, also take high-quality still photographs.\nWhile most modern DSLRs have video capabilities, some rise above the rest when it comes to specific features that videographers want. Here we’ll talk about some of the things to look for when choosing a DSLR or mirrorless camera for video and give recommendations for some of our favorites and picks for the best mirrorless camera for video. You can also check out which photos made our list as the best Canon DSLR for any photographer.\nThe Best DSLR for Video\nBest DSLRs for Video\n1. Canon 5D Mark III\n($129 7 day rental, $2,500 retail, body only)\nCanon’s ever-popular 5D Mark III may be a photography powerhouse but it works as a video camera as well. Because of its low light performance, stunning image quality, and 41 cross-type autofocus points, the 5D Mark III is the best Canon DSLR for video (as of this writing) and leads the field when it comes to autofocus points and low-light performance.\nWhile this camera, which was first released in 2012, lacks some of the features (like a flip-out screen and 4K capabilities) of newer models, its superior image quality and robust autofocus system make it worthy of a place in any videographer’s toolkit.\nThis camera’s predecessor, the 5D Mark II, has been used extensively in television and film and was used to shoot the entire final episode of the TV show House. Check out the video above, which was shot in Iceland entirely with a Canon 5D Mark III, to see what this camera can do.\n2. Sony Alpha a7S II\n($171 7 day rental, $3,000 rental, body only)\nWhile we’re focusing largely on DSLRs, they aren’t the only cameras that take excellent video. Sony’s a7SII is a mirrorless camera that excels at videography.\nThis camera has 169 autofocus points and records 4K video on its full frame sensor. Because the a7S II is mirrorless, it is smaller and weighs considerably less than the other full frame cameras on our list. This camera has built-in image stabilization and is known for working exceptionally well in low-light situations.\nVideographers who want the ability to take 4K video, shoot in dark conditions, and don’t want to lug around a DSLR all the time will love the a7S II. A stunning example of the a7S II’s low light performance is above.\n3. Nikon D810\n($148 7 day rental, $2,800 retail, body only)\nThe powerful D810 is the best Nikon DSLR for video (as of this writing). This camera, which was released in 2014, shoots 1080p video at 60 FPS, has a 36 MP full frame sensor, and locks into focus with its 15 cross-type (and 51 total) autofocus points. The D810 competes with Canon’s 5D Mark III—and does it well. Watch the video above to see just how good this camera is.\n4. Panasonic Lumix GH4\n($83 7 day rental, $1,300 retail, body only)\nIf you like the smaller size of the Sony Alpha a7S II but balk at the price, this may be the camera for you. The GH4 is a mirrorless micro four thirds camera that records 4K video at 24 and 30 FPS and weighs only 1.2 pounds.\nIt has a 49-point autofocus system and 3” swivel screen. It’s also the only camera on this list that can record videos longer than 29 minutes, 59 seconds. This camera is an ideal option for budget-minded videographers who want a small but extremely powerful camera. Above is an example of what it can do. Those who want even better performance may consider waiting for the release of the GH5, which is coming out soon and is rumored to have 6K video capabilities!\n5. Canon 80D\n($78 7 day rental, $1,200 retail, body only)\nCanon’s 80D is a favorite among vloggers and videographers as a budget friendly DSLR that takes amazing video. This crop sensor camera records 1080p at 60 FPS and has fast and accurate autofocus thanks to its 45-point AF system. The 80D is a good option for videographers who want good image quality at an affordable price and who don’t need a full frame sensor or 4K recording. The 80D’s beautiful imaging can be seen above.\n6. Canon T6i\n($47 7 day rental, $750 retail, body only)\nCanon’s T6i is the newest member (as of this writing) of the Rebel line and a powerful crop sensor DSLR for aspiring videographers. This well-priced DSLR has a flip out screen, 24 MP sensor, and records 1080p video at 30 FPS. This camera is a good fit for those who like the size and video capabilities of the Nikon D3300 (below) but also want a flip screen and improved autofocus. This video above shows just how good the T6i is.\n7. Nikon D3300\n($39 7 day rental, $550 retail, lens included)\nThe D3300 is the least expensive camera on our list but don’t be fooled by its low price. This camera, which only comes as a kit if purchased (you can get the body alone if you rent), records 1080p video at 60 FPS on its 24 MP sensor. The D3300 is a suitable option for those who want good video quality at a really great price.

It helps to know how, where, and why you plan to use your camera. Thinking about things like whether you will be shooting in low light, if you plan to take slow motion video, and how big of a camera you are willing to carry around will all help make your decision easier. Here are some features to consider when choosing a DSLR for videos:\nAutofocus Type – Modern DSLRs typically have two different types of autofocus points: cross-type and phase detection. Phase detection points are the most common and least powerful. All focus points look for contrast in the frame but phase detection points are only able to detect vertical changes in contrast. Cross-type points are able to detect both horizontal and vertical changes in contrast, allowing them to find focus better and more quickly. Simply put, the more cross-type points you have, the better your autofocus capabilities will be.\nMax Video Resolution – Resolution is simply a measure of how many pixels a video or image contains. The more pixels you have, the sharper your image. 4K video resolution is on the rise but it is certainly not always necessary.\nYou may be surprised to see that two of the top cameras on our list (the Canon 5D Mark III and Nikon D810) only shoot at resolutions up to 1080p. The truth is that while 4K video may be stunningly beautiful, many screens are not able to make the most of all of those glorious pixels. But that’s not to say that 4K video isn’t worth it.\nHaving a lot of pixels to play with gives you more cropping options in post processing, allows you to edit for different views (wide angle, zoomed in, etc.) from the same clip, and lets you pull high-quality still images from your videos. So while 1080p is more than enough (as evidenced by our recommendations for cameras that max out well before 4K), it definitely has some advantages. Videographers who want a camera that captures more data, allows for more flexibility in editing, and produces the clearest videos possible should look for 4K capabilities.\nSize and Weight – A camera may not seem heavy when you first pick it up but after a long day of shooting your hands and arms will feel it. One of the biggest downsides of full frame DSLRs is that they can be heavy. If you are using a tripod or plan to only shoot in smaller chunks this may not be a big deal but if you see long days behind the camera in your future, you may want to take size and weight into consideration.\nMirrorless cameras (like the Sony a7SII) may be the best option for smaller videographers or those who want a lighter setup. It’s also worth noting that size and weight is one of the few places that crop sensor (APS-C) bodies have a leg up on their full frame counterparts. Crop sensor cameras are generally lighter and smaller.\nBattery Life – Recording video eats up camera batteries fast and other camera features like LCD screens and continuous autofocus can drain batteries even faster. While most modern DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have decent battery life, there is some variation across the models. Battery life is typically measured in still shots on one charge but it can still give an idea of how long a battery will last for recording video. You’ll likely need multiple backup batteries for recording a project, and even more to account for lower battery performance in colder climates.\nSensor Size – Modern DSLRs are either full frame or APS-C (also known as crop sensor). A full frame sensor is larger, allowing it to capture more light (for better low light performance), achieve shallower depth of field, and have a brighter viewfinder.\nBut just because they’re the gold standard in photography doesn’t mean full frame cameras are without drawbacks – like being heavy and expensive. APS-C cameras are typically lighter and cheaper than their full frame counterparts. Videographers who do not plan on shooting in low-light conditions or don’t care about achieving a shallow depth of field may want to forgo the extra cost of a full frame camera and stick with APS-C.\nIt’s also important to know that the same lens will appear to have a to have a longer reach on an APS-C camera than it does on a full frame (see diagram above), this may be a bad thing if you like wide angle shots but it’s often appreciated by sports and wildlife photographers. Learn more about this in New DSLR Owners: What You Must Know About Full Frame vs Crop Frame Sensors Before Choosing a Lens.\nI/O Ports – Input/Output (I/O) ports on DSLRs allow for greater flexibility in the way the camera interfaces with your computer, phone, and other external devices. Things like headphones, microphones, and USB ports can give you more options for how you use your camera and what you connect it to. Ideally, your camera should have ports for a microphone and pair of headphones as well as HDMI out (for connecting external monitors, etc).\nSlow Motion – Sports and action videographers may appreciate the ability to shoot slow motion video. A high frame rate is the key to being able to slow the action down. The faster your frame rate, the more you can slow down your final product. A camera that shoots in 60 FPS or above is ideal for those who know they want to include slow motion in their videos.\nLens Availability – It is important to keep in mind that when you invest in a camera with interchangeable lenses you are also investing in an entire system. A Nikon camera cannot support Canon lenses and vice versa (without using adapters, that is, which can have AF and aperture drawbacks). If there is a specific focal length or type of lens that you want to use for your videos, be sure to choose a camera body that will support it.\nStabilization – Taking smooth video, especially if you are shooting handheld, is hard. Image stabilization (IS) helps to nullify the effects of camera shake. This is especially useful for videographers who will be shooting with longer lenses, as camera shake is more noticeable with increased focal length.\nSome cameras, like the Sony a7SII, have built-in stabilization but for most you will want to look for IS in your lenses. This is not as big of a deal for videographers who don’t plan on moving around much or will never use a longer lens but it is something to consider when investing in a camera system.\nThe Best DSLR for Video under $500\nFor those who want to keep the budget down while still being able to take high-quality video, Nikon’s D3300 is the way to go. This small crop-sensor DSLR is a good way to try out videography at an excellent price. It is also a good option for a camera is a perfect way to get started while you rent other bodies to see if a more expensive one is right for you.\nThe Best DSLR for Video under $1,000\nThose who want more features and improved performance without breaking the bank will be well-served by the Canon T6i. With its robust autofocus system, flip screen, and ability to shoot high-res video, this is a camera that will make a budget-minded videographer happy for years to come.\nThe Best DSLR for Video Overall\nFor those who want the best quality and most features regardless of price, the Canon 5D Mark III is the obvious choice. There’s a reason this is the camera so many pros use. Despite its inability to shoot 4K video, its image quality, 41 cross-type autofocus points, and stellar low-light performance make it the best of the bunch.\nThere are a lot of things to consider when it comes to picking a DSLR for videography and few things are as useful as actually getting your hands onto the cameras you are considering. Remember that renting cameras before you buy is a good way to be sure that you are making the right choice.

For example if you are interested in to search for a site which is giving services for dating on line the best keyword will be “online dating”, “date online” or “online dating for singles”. There is lot of search engines including Google, and Yahoo where you could start your search. Including Google AdWords there are some other services which are providing help in searching for the proper keywords.

These companies are giving the full details of the job they offer for, but if still you need to have some more additional information about a job to which you are interested in then do not hesitate to contact them and ask them for the required information.\nWhere to find an online job on the net\nIt is easy to search a job of your choice on the net but still you need some more information which could be helpful to you to come closer to your target. Forums are one of the best examples of it. Forums are one of the best places where you could search your required information more easily. Forums are like the houses of community where people come and sit together. On online forums people discuss and share their views and experiences.

Do most of the members discuss the same as what you are looking for? If the answer is in YES then you may start posting your posts and asking the other members for an online help. Ask them what you need, tell them about your experiences and qualifications. They will definitely be glad to help you. But if the answer is in a NO and the forum is not closer to your requirements then you should join some other one as net if full of the forums on different topics.\nMembers of the forum could give you the information about the website of different companies. These companies are providing complete details of each and every job they are offering for. Most of them provide a form where you could fill in all the required information they are asking for. But again before you fill in their online form you must be very careful and should check the worth of that site on the net. See that what page rank (PR) they are having on the net. There are lots of scam companies which also work in the same way as of a legitimate one and even they offer a better package as compare to a legitimate one.\nSocial networking is also a good source where you can search the job in the same way as what you are searching at the different online forums. Facebook, LinkedIn and google+ are some of the social networking site where thousands of people are available all-the time and are ready to help you.\nEnd credits to Online Jobs are investment free\nI hope that I already have discussed a lot about Online Jobs are investment free.

-{"text": "In his SVG is for Everybody talk at An Event Apart in Seattle WA 2014, Chris Coyier walked through the current state of SVG and how Web designers and developers can use it on their sites today. Here are my notes from his talk:\n- SVG can made from essentially anything \"vector\". You can learn the syntax but you don't need to. If you can open it in Illustrator, you can save it as SVG.\n- SVG will never replace raster graphics (sets of pixels), it is good for icons, illustrations, diagrams, charts, logos, etc.\n- SVG is not new -its been around since 1999. It was designed for the Web but coverage was not great.\n- 10% of sites on the Web are using SVG according to Google.\n- To create SVG, you can hand-craft code or use a vector editing tool.\n- IE 9 does not support gradients but it does support SVG, so you can use it to create gradients in that browser.\n- SVG will resize itself to whatever space it has to fill, without loosing resolution.\n- Images set to max-width 100% will fill the size of their container and not more. With vector images, you can instead set width to 100%.\n- Inline SVG is just SVG code right inside HTML. You can set styles on each element in the markup.\n- Three big advantages to inline SVG. 1) all the elements are in the DOM so they can be styled and scripted. 2) No additional http requests are needed to load the image 3) You can define it once and reuse it again.\n- SVG templating system: sites need a system for icons. Use inline SVG and wrap elements with DEF tags, which makes sure it does not render. Then display: none on the whole SVG element.\n- From that point on, you can reference the DEFs in your SVG throughout the site. Define an object once and reuse it in many places.\n- You can set a folder of SVGs and use Grunt to create the inline code and DEFs you need for it. This is the idea of sprites for SVG\n- Unlike image sprites, SVG sprites are vector based, don't require background positioning code, can be restyled with colors, strokes, etc. (including SVG CSS controls).\n- You can control individual parts of SVG using CSS. You get some of these advantages with SVG images but not all of them.\nIcon Fonts vs. SVG\n- Both are vectors but icon fonts use anti-aliasing rules.\n- Both have CSS control but SVG has lots more: class names, target parts, SVG specific\n- Positioning of icon fonts is subject to line-heights and letter spacing. SVG is a lot easier to position.\n- Icon fonts have weird failures like CDNs/headers, IE6 supports font-face but other versions of Windows phone do not.\n- SVG has better semantics as it is just images instead of images in text/fonts.\n- Accessibility with icon fonts requires a lot of care. SVG is better as it is just an image tag.\n- Icon fonts win at support (IE6+) vs. SVG (IE9).\nDealing with Fallbacks\n- SVG needs fallback for IE 6-8 and Android 2.\n- One fallback is to show nothing. If you are using SVG for icon enhancements, you may not need them on lower end browsers.\n- Multiple background support is basically as good as SVG support so you can use them as fallbacks in background-images.\n- You should also optimize your SVG files like you optimize other Web graphics. SVG-O is a tool that can do that for you.\nSVG also supports animations, filters (including CSS filters), and more.

-{"text": "That day was a watershed in my transition from a talented amateur to a serious artist. I had always subscribed to the mantra \"good enough is not good enough\" in my profession, but until that day I had not done so as an artist. From then on I resolved that I would make things as good as I could in my art, even if that took time and effort.\nWhich is a long way to get to how I spent yesterday afternoon.\nSeveral weeks ago I was well along on quilting a piece when I went to brush away a bit of what seemed to be black lint. Oh, the klong when I realized that the lint was actually some kind of gooey foreign substance that left a spot on the pale yellow of my quilt! Scrubbing it with a wet washcloth accomplished nothing. My next plan was to put the quilt away and work on something else -- maybe the spot would disappear. (I firmly believe that in the entire history of textile art this has actually happened at least once.)\nIn my pre-serious days I would have cussed a few times, then carefully planned my stitching to pass over the spot and hoped that it would be camouflaged from view. I toyed with that idea for several days but this afternoon I realized that I just had to do the right thing, which of course was to cut the spot out and sew in new, clean fabric.\nRather than rip out any of the quilting, I decided to slice right through the spot and piece in another narrow strip of red-and-white striped fabric. I opened a seam so the repair would be as small as possible. I chose to slice the top parallel to a nearby strip so it looked like part of the original design (the ruler runs right through the spot).\nTo make sure I had plenty of fabric for the mend, I cut a new piece of yellow fabric at the same angle as the original piece but an inch bigger in either direction. Then I cut a new piece of stripes and stitched the new piece back into place. It was cumbersome to fold the top away from the batting and backing, and to work so close to the huge bulk of the quilted portion, but with a lot of pins and patience everything worked.\nPS -- note to self -- don't make any more quilts with wide expanses of plain, pale yellow. It's like wearing a white dress to cook spaghetti.", "char_count": 2190, "token_count": 547, "k_exact": 2.2964, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8548, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "I pride myself on being independent and objective and have explored the policies and planks of the three UFT caucuses and have come to some decisions on who I will be voting for in the UFT election. This post critiqued the different caucuses running in the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) elections and how I came to my decision. I hope this guides many of you to make the right choices.\nMORE: This is a dynamic and vibrant organization and many of my favorite educators and bloggers are running under the MORE banner. While I really want MORE to do well, their emphasis on the leftist dogma of \"Social Justice\" is very disturbing to me. I suspect many educators who are \"moderate\" like me will have a problem with MORE's \"Social Justice\" part of their plank and is the main reason I cannot join MORE. Nevertheless, MORE may be the first caucus that could garner enough votes in the high schools to capture a seat or two and maybe more since the hayday of ICE.\nNew Action: This caucus, despite its leftist origin, has drifted into the center and is probably most closely aligned with my own philosophy. While I really do understand why New Action \"sold their soul\" to Unity for some limited power, I would never have made such a deal and despite how closely I identify with the political goals of New Action, I cannot join an organization that sold their \"soul to the devil\".\nUnity: The most dominant caucus and likely winner. However, the Unity caucus is a \"top down organization\" and fails to allow its members to vote on important matters that affect the classroom. I have personally experienced the smug attitude and down right arrogance of the leaders and how they lack democracy and transparency when negotiating member rights. . Examples are the ATR crises which they created from that very same 2005 contract and then changed to make the ATR's life a living hell by rotating weekly to different schools, supporting the badly flawed \"race to the top\" program and allowing the DOE to use Charlotte Danielson's rubric which will have a detrimental effect on the classroom teacher. Who can forget the terrible 2005 contract that made teaching in the classroom a nightmare. I could never join an organization that requires an oath that stifles dissent as a condition of advancement.\nListed below are my picks\nPresident: Julie Cavanagh - MORE While Michael Mulgrew is a step up from Randi Weingarten, his failure to bring more democratic and transparent policies to better reflect member concerns was the determining factor.\nSecretary: Brian Jones - MORE The co-star in\" the inconvenient truth of Waiting for Superman\" really impressed me and he deserves a chance to bring the union into another direction.\nVP Special Education: Carmen Alvarez - Unity. She has done a great job and never replace what works. District 75 in particular believe her advocacy has made their life easier and the driving force to get paid for working on SESIS.\nAssistant Treasurer: Michael Fiorillo - MORE Few teachers are as intelligent and knowledgeable than Michael. The other two cannot compare to Mr. Fiorillo.\nTreasurer: Camille Eterno - MORE Mel Aaronson was a very effective Treasurer but has been long retired. I want an active teacher who understands the present day realities of the classroom to handle my money. Being married to James tells me she is a good decision maker.\nExecutive Board: - High School -\nJonathan Halabi - New Action/Unity He really tries and has been a dissenting voice in the past.\nKit Wainer - MORE Is an effective advocate for the classroom teacher.\nJames Eterno - MORE - The best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be.\nPeter Lamphere - MORE. We all know his story and I hope he wins.\nOther people I will be voting for:\nAmy Arundell - Unity. She really helps teachers. One of my heroes.\nPeter Zucker - MORE. A blogger and a fighter.\nRona Feiser - Unity. A good person to have in your corner.\nNorm Scott - MORE A one person information center and that's important.\nDebbie Saal - MORE. Great teacher, nuff said.\nRichard Skibins - Unity One of the original bloggers.\nAngela Artis: - Unity. She's always helpful, very knowledgeable.\nFransesco Portelos - MORE. Rubberized and we need him to represent those teachers in trouble.\nBy default, I will be voting for MORE candidates when I have not identified a candidate because we need a change, despite their wrong headed \"social justice\" plank. Remember, if you pick a caucus slate by putting an \"X\" on the first page and try to select candidates, you invalidate the entire ballot. Therefore, either pick the candidates individually or select a caucus slate not both!\nOne last point is the absense from the UFT election process is the education deformer sock puppet and \"fifth columnists\" Educators 4 Excellence (E4E) and the reason is that they would have been exposed as a fraud with only the fringe (less than 100 TFA educators) who would actually vote for E4E. My advise to E4E just go away, your failure to participate in the election makes your organization irrelevant to New York City teachers.", "char_count": 5086, "token_count": 1271, "k_exact": 4.0904, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.7504, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Monday morning bus stops will be full of chilly children doing the two-sneaker shuffle dance, hands stuffed in wind breaker pockets, collars turned to the breeze, the air suffuse with old bug spray. These are sure signs of fishermen parents who, forcing the hand of spring, have banished all winter clothing to dark cellar corners, creating precious space for new season valuables. Rods, spare reels, waders, trout nets, selfies with stripers can all reclaim their order in closets and on shelves. Parents will tell their children, “It was so much colder when I was a kid”, “the heat’s on at school”, or “The days are getting warmer anyway”.\nThis annual transfer, which may possibly occur without the agreement of all household members, is a direct result of this weekend’s New England Salt Water Fishing Show in Providence, organized by the Rhode Island Salt Water Anglers Association. These three days of all things fishing is as good an indicator of spring’s arrival as the osprey’s return or the smell of warm waffle cones at Brickley’s. There are over 250 vendors to visit, including our local Snug Harbor Marina, the Lonely Angler and a personal favorite, the Fluke ‘til You Puke Tournament.\nAttending the show is a good logical move as it affords fishermen an opportunity to coordinate networking, purchasing, shipping and even continuing education. We can stock up on staples such as lines and lures, swivels and scum frogs, bunker oil and bait keeper hooks, while conveniently taking stock of new technologies and outdoors-themed fashions. Time should always be allocated for a troll through the worm bar. There really is a worm bar.\nEach day offers seminars on catching wicked tuna with captains from the National Geographic TV show, rod and reel care, rigging plastics and dragging umbrella rigs. You can purchase some nutritious black pepper wild boar jerky to enjoy while appreciating the touring replica of an 18 foot great white shark or Peter Vican’s record 77.4 pound striped bass. It’s a lot like taking your family shopping, to college then out for lunch and an art gallery. Parenting can be very rewarding.\nThis is also a great opportunity to speak with representatives from Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. Our government controls how where and when we fish, so if you have questions about stocking, water access, clean water, licensing or regulation changes, this is your chance. They will be at booths 114 and 115.\nWomen and kids under 14 are free on Sunday. This year kids can practice their casts, discover small gifts as they work through a scavenger hunt and meet the RI Sea Scouts. RISAA folding tables are heaped with used tackle bargains, much of which is just right for young fishermen. The real deal, however, comes when members help kids pick out a rod or lure or offer some assistance with casting. There is a genuine gleam in their eyes. More than just getting together to talk fishing, this group does a wonderful job encouraging young people to be good fishermen.\nOur new world puts pressures on children from angles few of us may have imagined; they benefit from natural outlets that keep them grounded. While a light tackle tarpon Xbox battle is a fine recliner chair challenge, real memories are cast on sandy riverbanks, wearing a silly fly fishing vest-just like your Dad’s- or paddling a canoe through water lilies in total silence. A subtle tug on your rod tip can be the greatest of erasers.\nBased on my admittedly sketchy science, this show may also be responsible for many spring yard sales, much like my hypothesis tying the increase of yard sales to rising bay temperatures. Closets exceeding their safe carrying capacity, bulging with shoes scarves and bags-belonging to either gender, mind you- might be easily bartered for cash over a Saturday morning early bird table. This frees up necessary capital for inventory replacement well timed for the northern striper migration. There may be a low incidence of minor injuries resulting from poor prior communication.\nRegardless, this asset reassignment creates important space for corkers, fly rods, self-help casting books and minnow traps, which over time, develop a patina very similar to fine art. This movement may include a vital collection of camouflaged hats because, for fishermen, there is an obvious difference between too many pairs of shoes and just enough of whatever we need to go fishing in a safe, fully loaded kind of fashion.\nAfter the show there is plenty on our horizon. RIDEM is hosting a public workshop on proposed hunting and fishing rule changes on April 2 at the Arcadia Management Area. US Fish& Wildlife is offering classes on tying cinder worm patterns on Tuesday, April 29th at the Kettle Pond Visitor Center. Snug Harbor has early morning party boat trips for cod and pollock. Finally, alewives have returned to the Saugatucket and even as far north as Massachuck Creek in Barrington; they can be seen with decent sunlight at the Main Street bridge.\nBy Monday, we will have balanced economics, continuing education and art, making for a long but rewarding weekend, while officially welcoming a long overdue season. It won’t be long now until sunrise casting into Deep Hole makes us late for work, squid reappear under the lights and our pickups get that wonderful stale salt water essence. For the bus stop crew, odds are good there is a piece of spicy hot jalapeño turkey jerky in that windbreaker pocket just large enough to take away the chill.", "char_count": 5497, "token_count": 1374, "k_exact": 3.0974, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.932, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Rugby Union is - relative to soccer at least, where a game can be decided by a single lucky shot - a fairly predictable game in terms of results. Big teams are rarely beaten by the smaller teams because of the gulf between professional and amateur rugby. This makes South Africa’s defeat by Japan all the more stunning, particularly to the statisticians, none of whom will have predicted the result correctly.\nThese sorts of results do not, however, suggest that data is of no use in rugby union. It used to be that rugby coaches could get away with using personal experience and gut instinct for decision making. This is no longer good enough for most clubs, with many having adopted an evidence-based approach to performance that relies on data science and analytics.\nWearable technology has vastly increased the number of data points that analysts can use to leverage insights, to optimize both individual and team performance levels level. Players now wear RFID devices throughout both training and matches, so coaches can monitor their fitness levels and ensure they do not suffer from fatigue. They can also monitor areas of their game that need improvement. Such knowledge can help greatly with selection, helping to note which players are fresher and more ready for the game.\nData science has revealed a number of more general points about the game as well, many of which have been long believed by coaches but not proved. For example, teams that use a kicking game tend to be more successful. The less time you spend in your own half, and the more you play in the opposition half, the more likely you are to be successful. This seems like common sense, but by looking at how it is true - running the ball in rugby leads to more collisions and rucks which drain energy, and being turned over near your try line means more tries conceded - you can reinforce methods.\nIn terms of opposition analysis, statistics providers, such as Opta, can reveal a lot about an opponent’s playing style and find areas of weakness that can be targeted. How often a player kicks, the type of kick, and the area of the field that they tend to do it in can help predict their movements. This information does, however, still require a human to establish what the best method of defence should be, although they can look back at the data from past defence and run models to determine exactly how effective this will be.\nData science is also being utilized by the RFU in order to provide fans with as satisfying an experience as possible, installing sensors all across Twickenham to provide statistics in real time that can be aired on television to drive engagement.\nFor many of the sport’s purists, drilling the game down to numbers moving around a screen has become something of a bugbear. They argue that numbers are misleading, and they lead to the game becoming predictable. Teams can be unprepared for deviations from what the data expects, which can be easily exploited. Metrics such as tackle completion can also be misleading, with no consideration taken for power, and whether it is behind the goal line. England coach Stuart Lancaster has denied making substitutions based on GPS data, and the reluctance is understandable. It is also important to remember that sport is first and foremost entertainment, and should it turn into a purely kicking game, it is likely that it will turn many fans off, with most preferring the total rugby style of game where the ball is carried in hand more frequently.", "char_count": 3496, "token_count": 874, "k_exact": 3.4377, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9055, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Home game tournaments are a little more complex to organize than cash games. First of all you obviously have to pick appropriate stakes(this is actually easier than in cash games). Second, you have to set the blind structure. Third, you have to decide on prize distribution. Fourth, you have to run the tournament. Now, how do you do these things:\n1.Deciding on stakes is easy, just ask around before hand how much people are willing to invest and set the buy in at an appropriate amount. Since the amount of money involved doesn't change over time(if you don't have rebuys) like in cash games, this shouldn't be too hard of a task.\n2.How you set the blind structure is totally up to you. You have to decide what blind levels there are going to be and how long they are going to last. This totally depends on you, and what you want. If you want a quick gamble, set the blinds high(relative to the starting stack) and make them short... but if you want some nice deep play set long blind levels and small blinds relative to the stack size. For your convenience I've set three blind structures that you can use for 2-10 players:\nTurbo(30-60min of play):\nStarting stack: 1500 chips\nBlind levels last 5min\nFast(60-120min of play):\nStarting stack: 1500 chips\nBlind levels last 15min\nDeep(4hours+ of play):\nStarting stack: 2000 chips\nBlind levels last 20-30min\n3.Like the blind structure, the prize structure is totally up to you as well. There are a couple of thing you should consider while forming your own payout structure:\n-Number of players\n-Amount of prize money\nWhat I'm trying to say is that if there are more people playing there should be more paid places, if there is little money in the prize pool there should be less paid places, if the tournament last longer there should be more paid places(so players don't feel like they wasted a bunch of time). Again, it's up to you to find a balance that suits your needs, but to help you a little here are some »standard« payouts relative to the number of players playing:\n2-4 players = Winner takes all!\n5-7 players = 2nd gets his money back, 1st takes the rest\n8-10 players = 1st: 50%, 2nd: 30%,\n3rd: 20%(flatter structure) or\n1st: 65%, 2nd: 25%, 3rd: 10%(top heavy structure)\n4. Running a tournament can be pretty hard, but thankfully there are gadgets and apps out there that can help. The beginning shouldn't be a problem, just collect the buy ins and distribute the chips(be careful to put enough small denomination chips in play so that people can easily pay blinds). Later on, when the blinds get bigger, you can also exchange some small denomination chips for larger ones so that collecting pots won't be such a mess every time. Now, the one thing where problems usually arise is keeping track of blind levels. Here are links to some helpful apps and gadgets that will make tracking blind levels easy as pie:\nThat's it! All the magic you need to organize a nice home game tournament. The only thing left is to call your friends and start playing!\nLiked what you just read?

-{"text": "I recently read an opinion piece called “Greatest Long-Term Threat To Boeing Is The Loss Of Talent,” written by Richard Aboulafia for the industry-leading magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology. Last month, aircraft manufacturer Boeing (NYSE: BA) moved many of its defense services and support functions out of Seattle, citing competitive and cost concerns. While the author agrees with the company’s line of reasoning, he says that “it’s also important to remember that when a company takes aggressive action to move jobs and reduce labor costs, it always creates risk. In particular, key skills and experienced workers can be lost, threatening execution and company capabilities.”\nThis article had me thinking about what it takes for a large company like Boeing to retain talent in an increasingly competitive business environment. As the author suggests, companies in a growth phase need to focus on attracting and retaining talent, but a company in a “retrenching” phase needs to focus on costs. The analogy given is Tesla versus General Motors, respectively. This in turn reminded me of a talk I attended a few weeks ago by Brian Welle, Director of People Analytics at Google. In his day-to-day role, Welle “conducts research and designs programs that strengthen Google’s Human Resources initiatives.” One of his primary areas of research is on the “unconscious bias,” a set of factors caused by our environments and experiences that influences our decision-making capabilities. Although Welle’s primary focus is to help Google employees become aware of and reduce their personal unconscious biases, during his talk he frequently mentioned the company’s overall drive to recruit and retain talent. The underlying assumption here is that Google remains in a growth phase – but I wonder what will happen when (or even if) Google reaches a point when it needs to shift focus to cost-based “retrenching” like that referred to in Aboulafia’s article. Obviously, this would require viewing Google as a mature corporation – hardly the case given the growth in the technology industry and Google’s new monetization initiatives.\nFurthermore, I wonder why a company like Boeing doesn’t have a similar human resources structure to Google. This may seem like an outlandish idea, but I feel that many of the human resources functions at Google can be replicated in the wildly different industry that Boeing operates in. Welle’s People Analytics team focuses on organizational behavior (OB) issues as they pertain specifically to Google – so why doesn’t Boeing focus on the OB issues that affect the aerospace & defense industry? In my earlier posts “The Failure of Crew Resource Management (Part I, Part II, and Part III),” I focused on the failure of an OB system in the aviation sector (Crew Resource Management or CRM). I think it would be interesting to see Boeing expand its human resources functions to address industry-wide OB concerns like CRM. In my mind, Google is able to recruit and retain the best talent because its human resources professionals are focused on remedying OB issues that affect the broader industry, such as the lack of women in technology and the unconscious bias in most recruiting decisions.\nAt present, the cost issue remains crucial for Boeing’s short-run competitive strategy. But perhaps a shift towards the Google human resources model could help Boeing with its recruiting and retention issues in the long run. It’s definitely something I want to look into more. In Aboulafia’s words: “Boeing management needs to remember the greatest long-term threat to [Boeing Commercial Airplanes] isn’t the cost of labor; it’s the loss of talent and the erosion of core capabilities.”", "char_count": 3707, "token_count": 926, "k_exact": 3.4449, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8884, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "State of the nation\nStrictly speaking I ain’t gonna talk about the ‘nation’ of the US of A, but just about New York City. I love this town in so may ways. I’ve just had a great evening down Max Fish catching up with folk and it’s been lovely. Before that I had a wonderful, busy day seeing other friends who I don’t get the chance to see often enough. So what’s the beef?\nWell it’s this… A lot of people are thinking of leaving New York at the moment. It’s been a while since 9/11 and the economy has at least stopped it’s tumultuous plummet towards nul points, even if it’s not exactly booming any more. The truth is that many people seem to have lost the belief that New York is an avatar of success and generator of wealth, at least in the circles I move in. People are feeling pressured to live, rather than enjoying the hey day of hard work with good rewards. Now, hard work is stated up front as a minimum requirement to get a job to just survive. And you know what? That’s arse. Pure and simple. People need enjoyment to live their lives. If their jobs don’t provide satisfaction to some level then they look elsewhere and the job becomes an impediment rather than part of a well rounded life. Consequently unhappiness sets in.\nThis is a bad thing.\nCreativity and societal growth can happen anywhere, and maybe it’s simply that the time is not now New York’s, but to my mind NYC is a symbol of all that is good and creative in the US. Yes, money plays a huge part in what happens here, but the truth is that amazing things are made here and people burst with ideas that get proper support to grow. If that doesn’t happen any more then something wonderful has been lost. A symbol that helps not only the US, but a lot of the western world flourish becomes tarnished and less powerful.\nNot only is general creativity in flux, but human aspects of relationships seem also to be stiffled. In the same way that people aren’t investing their financial holdings in the stock market, emotional holdings are being held back for ‘safer’ engagements. Physical interactions happen, but more for the physical comfort fuck aspects than deeper emotional aspects. The art shows here are rife with sexual imagery, with little of the deeper ‘love’ type emotional ties visible in their offerings. Even if the choices of art galleries is not indicative of the current emotional tides then the behaviour in bars is much more obvious – there is a predatory aspect in place that is palpable. People want some form of contact and physical will do, spiritual and emotional can wait for the moment for better times.\nMost likely this is all part of life’s long term cycles of creation and hibernation/recovery. Over time New York will again regain it’s glamour, and not just on a superficial level. For now though, dealing with the emotional fall out of earlier events, and probably the ‘business first’ focus of a new mayor will continue to take its toll. I’m glad that I got to see New York at its best over the years that I lived here, and know that it will be great again when the time is right.

He endowed the super toy with a tiny chip of his mind along with other gizmos.\nIn the tropical resource rich woods on the banks of ancient rivers, human civilization flourished. The clever ones took up the job of learning and teaching. And they marketed their theories in the name of God and under the trade mark of Dharma(religion). They made rules and formulated code of conduct, which was binding on all. However, they kept the knowledge under wraps. This knowledge was only available to their families and caste. ....God's will thus far.\nThese knowledgeable guys enjoyed their status in the society and had little materialistic desires.

Fatigue that occurs with MS is more than feeling tired. It can become debilitating, affecting your ability to work and perform everyday tasks.\nDifficulty walking can occur with MS for a number of reasons:\n- numbness of the legs or feet\n- difficulty balancing\n- muscle weakness\n- muscle spasticity\nOverwhelming fatigue can also contribute to the problem. Difficulty walking can lead to injuries due to falling.\nOther fairly common symptoms of MS include:\n- speech disorders\n- cognitive issues involving concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills\n- acute or chronic pain\nPart 2 of 11\nWhat is multiple sclerosis?\nMS is a chronic illness involving the central nervous system. The immune system attacks myelin, which is the protective layer around nerve fibers. This causes inflammation and scar tissue, or lesions. This can make it hard for your brain to send signals to the rest of your body. Types of MS include:\nRelapsing-remitting MS (RRMS)\nRRMS involves clear relapses of disease activity followed by remissions. Symptoms are mild or absent during remission, and there’s no disease progression during the remission period. RRMS is the most common form of MS at onset.\nClinically isolated syndrome (CIS)\nCIS involves one episode of symptoms that are due to demyelination in the central nervous system. This episode must last for at least 24 hours.\nThe two types of episodes are monofocal and multifocal. A monofocal episode means one lesion causes one symptom. A multifocal episode means you have more than one lesion and more than one symptom.\nAlthough these episodes are characteristic of MS, they aren’t enough to prompt a diagnosis. If lesions similar to those that occur with MS are present, you’re more likely to receive a diagnosis of RRMS. If these lesions aren’t present, you’re less likely to develop MS.\nPrimary-progressive MS (PPMS)\nNeurological function becomes progressively worse from the onset of your symptoms if you have PPMS. However, short periods of stability can still occur.\nProgressive-relapsing MS was a term people previously used for progressive MS with clear relapses. People now call it PPMS. The words “active” and “not active” are used to describe disease activity.\nSecondary-progressive MS (SPMS)\nSPMS occurs when RRMS transitions into the progressive form. You may still have noticeable relapses, in addition to gradual worsening of function or disability.\nPart 3 of 11\nTreatment for multiple sclerosis\nNo cure is available for MS, but multiple treatment options exist.\nIf you have relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), you can choose one of the disease-modifying drugs. These medications are designed to slow disease progression and lower your relapse rate.\nSelf-injectable disease-modifying drugs include glatiramer (Copaxone, Glatopa) and beta interferons, such as:\nOral medications for RRMS include:\nIntravenous infusion treatments for RRMS include:\nDisease-modifying drugs aren’t effective in treating progressive MS.\nOther treatments may ease your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Because the disease is different for everybody, treatment depends on your specific symptoms. For most people, a flexible approach is necessary.\nPart 4 of 11\nEarly signs of MS\nMS can develop all at once, or the symptoms can be so mild that you easily dismiss them. Any symptom can occur first. The following are three of the most common early symptoms of MS:\n- Strange sensations, such as numbness and tingling of the arms, legs, or one side of your face can occur. It’s similar to that of feeling of pins and needles you get when your foot falls asleep, but it occurs for no apparent reason.\n- Your balance may be a bit off, and your legs may feel week. You may find yourself tripping easily while walking or doing some other type of physical activity.\n- A bout of double vision, blurry vision, or partial vision loss can be an early indicator of MS. You could also have some eye pain.\nIt isn’t uncommon for these early symptoms to go away only to return at a later date. You may go weeks, months, or even years between symptom flare-ups.\nThese symptoms can have many different causes. If you have these symptoms, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have MS.\nPart 5 of 11\nYour doctor will need to perform a neurological exam, a clinical history, and a series of other tests to determine if you have MS.\nDiagnostic testing may include the following:\n- MRI is the best imaging test for MS. Using a contrast dye allows the MRI to detect active and inactive lesions throughout the brain and spinal cord.\n- Evoked potentials require stimulation of nerve pathways to analyze electrical activity in the brain. The three types of evoked potentials doctors use to help diagnose MS are visual, brainstem, and sensory.\n- A spinal tap, or lumbar puncture, can help your doctor find abnormalities in your spinal fluid. It can help rule out infectious diseases.\n- Doctors use blood tests to eliminate other conditions with similar symptoms.\nThe diagnosis of MS requires evidence of demyelination in more than one area of the brain, spinal cord, or optic nerves. That damage must have occurred at different times.\nIt also requires ruling out other conditions that have similar symptoms. This includes Lyme disease, lupus, and Sjogren's syndrome.\nPart 6 of 11\nWhat causes multiple sclerosis?\nIf you have MS, the myelin in your body becomes damaged. Myelin is the protective layer that covers nerve fibers throughout the central nervous system.\nIt’s thought that the damage is the result of an attack by the immune system. As your immune system attacks myelin, it causes inflammation. This leads to scar tissue, or lesions. All of that inflammation and scar tissue disrupts signals between the brain and other parts of your body.\nIt isn’t clear what may cause the immune system to attack.\nIs MS hereditary?\nMS isn’t hereditary, but having a parent or sibling with MS raises your risk slightly. Genetics may play a role. Scientists have identified some genes that seem to increase susceptibility to developing MS.\nResearchers think there could be an environmental trigger such as a virus or toxin that sets off the immune system attack.\nPart 7 of 11\nWhat is the prognosis for people with multiple sclerosis?\nIt’s almost impossible to predict how MS will progress in any one person.\nAbout 10 to 15 percent of people with MS have only rare attacks and minimal disability ten years after diagnosis. It’s not a medical diagnosis, but this is sometimes called “benign MS.”\nProgressive MS generally advances faster than relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). People with RRMS can be in remission for many years. A lack of disability after five years is usually a good indicator for the future.\nThe disease generally progresses faster in men than in women. It may also progress faster in those who receive a diagnosis after age 40 and in those who have a high relapse rate.\nAbout half of people with MS use a cane or other form of assistance at 15 years after receiving an MS diagnosis. At 20 years, about 60 percent are still ambulatory and less than 15 percent need custodial care.\nYour quality of life will depend on your symptoms and how well you respond to treatment. Most people with MS don’t become severely disabled and continue to lead full lives.\nThis unpredictable disease can change course without warning. It’s rarely fatal, and most people with MS have a lifespan that’s close to normal.\nPart 8 of 11\nLiving with MS\nMost people with MS find ways to manage their symptoms and function well. You’ll face unique challenges, and those can change over time. Many people with MS share their struggles and coping strategies through in-person or online support groups.\nHaving MS means you’ll need to see a doctor experienced in treating MS.\nIf you take one of the disease-modifying drugs, you’ll have to make sure you adhere to the recommended schedule. Your doctor may prescribe other medications to treat specific symptoms.\nA well-balanced diet, low in empty calories and high in nutrients and fiber, will help you manage your overall health.\nRegular exercise is important for physical and mental health, even if you have disabilities. If physical movement is difficult, swimming or exercising in a swimming pool can help. Yoga classes range from beginner to advanced levels, and some are designed just for people with MS.\nStudies regarding the effectiveness of complementary therapies are scarce, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help in some way.\nThe following may help you feel less stressed and more relaxed:\n- tai chi\n- music therapy\nMS is a lifelong condition. You should focus on communicating concerns with your doctor, learning all you can about MS, and discovering what things make you feel your best.\nPart 9 of 11\nDietary recommendations for people with MS\nDiet hasn’t been shown to impact the nature of the disease, but it can help with some of the challenges. If you have fatigue, for instance, a diet high in fats and simple carbohydrates won’t help.\nThe better your diet, the better your overall health. You’ll not only feel better in the short term, but you’ll be laying the foundation for a healthier future.\nYour diet should consist mainly of:\n- a variety of vegetables and fruits\n- lean sources of protein, such as fish and skinless poultry\n- whole grains and other sources of fiber\n- low-fat dairy products\n- adequate water and other fluids\nYou should limit or avoid:\n- saturated fat\n- trans fat\n- red meats\n- foods and beverages high in sugar\n- foods high in sodium\n- highly processed foods\nPortion control can help you maintain a healthier weight. Read food labels. Foods that are high in calories but low in nutrients won’t help you feel better.\nIf you have coexisting conditions, ask your doctor if you should follow a special diet or take any dietary supplements.\nPart 10 of 11\nStatistics about MS\nMS is the most widespread neurological condition disabling young adults worldwide.\nAbout 400,000 people in the United States have MS, though that’s only an estimate. Doctors in the United States aren’t required to report MS to any agency. According to the National MS Society, there hasn’t been a scientifically sound, national study on the prevalence of MS in the United States since 1975.\nMost people are between the ages of 20 and 40 when their doctor diagnoses them with MS. Women develop MS 2 to 3 times more often than men, a difference that has grown steadily for five decades. MS is more common among Caucasians of northern European ancestry than other ethnic groups.\nRates of MS tend to be lower in places that are closer to the equator. The rates of MS are higher in places farther away from the equator. This may have to do with sunlight and vitamin D. People who relocate to a new location before age 15 generally acquire the risk factors associated with the new location.\nPart 11 of 11\nWhat are the effects of MS?\nThe lesions from MS can appear anywhere in the central nervous system. This means they can affect any part of your body.\nOne of the most common symptoms of MS is fatigue, but it’s not uncommon for people with MS to also have:\n- some degree of cognitive impairment\nAs you age, some disabilities from MS may become more pronounced. If you have mobility issues, you may be at an increased risk for bone fractures and breaks due to falls. Mobility issues can also lead to a lack of physical activity, which can lead to other health problems. Fatigue and mobility issues may also have an impact on sexual function. Having other conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis can complicate matters.\n- About multiple sclerosis. (n.d.).

-{"text": "It's nearing that time of year again - Christmas music playing on the radio and in the stores, halloween decorations being replaced with pilgrims and turkeys and then eventually reindeer and sleighs. As a kid, I lived for these holidays, especially after spending hours drooling over the Sears and JCPenney catalogs.\nNow that I'm an adult (opinions vary on that point), Christmas has lost a little of its charm for me. The presents under the tree for me are more practical gifts like pants and socks, and I gave up the catalog daydreams a long time ago. All of the joy in Christmas that really remains for me is the sparkle in my kids' eyes when they open presents on Christmas morning. And I'm okay with that.\nHowever, what I'm not okay with is the annual anti-Christmas movement that goes on all around the country. Companies and organizations have been distancing themselves from the holiday by not using words like Christmas in their ads and events. Never mind the fact that without Christmas, they'd have no holiday shopping rush (who really is out there doing last-minute Kwanzaa or Hanukkah shopping?).\nThey say it's not inclusive enough. Non-Christians will be offended. I don't really understand this mindset - I was never offended over my Jewish friend's holidays, and Kwanzaa wasn't something I'd ever heard about until the last few years.\nBut every now and then, something beautiful happens. Something that reminds me that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Something like this:\nPATCHOGUE, N.Y. - A famed fireworks company is pulling out of a holiday boat parade because \"Christmas\" was dropped from the event's name.\nFireworks by Grucci won't lend its sparkle to Patchogue's Nov. 23 parade — decorated yachts on the Patchogue River — because the organizers have renamed it the Patchogue Holiday Boat Parade. It was the Patchogue Christmas Boat Parade last year, when the Grucci company donated $5,000 worth of fireworks.\nThe company's vice president, Philip Butler, who has criticized the secularization of Christmas in the past, said parade organizers were \"using all the themes of Christmas and plagiarizing all those themes.\"\nBravo, I say. This is a move that puts the lie to the notion of greedy corporate America. Mr. Butler has principles and has made a stand, profit be damned. I doubt you'll hear any liberals complimenting him on it though.\nAs a consumer, I'm not really a direct customer of a company like Grucci, but if I was on a town committee that organizes fireworks displays, I'd definitely consider throwing them our business.\nSo this December, have yourself a Merry Christmas, and if that offends you, tough shit.

-{"text": "“Shipmates, this book, containing only four chapters—four yarns—is one of the smallest strands in the mighty cable of the Scriptures. Yet what depths of the soul does Jonah’s deep sealine sound! what a pregnant lesson to us is this prophet! What a noble thing is that canticle in the fish’s belly! How billow-like and boisterously grand! We feel the floods surging over us; we sound with him to the kelpy bottom of the waters; sea-weed and all the slime of the sea is about us! But WHAT is this lesson that the book of Jonah teaches? Shipmates, it is a two-stranded lesson; a lesson to us all as sinful men, and a lesson to me as a pilot of the living God. As sinful men, it is a lesson to us all, because it is a story of the sin, hard-heartedness, suddenly awakened fears, the swift punishment, repentance, prayers, and finally the deliverance and joy of Jonah. As with all sinners among men, the sin of this son of Amittai was in his wilful disobedience of the command of God—never mind now what that command was, or how conveyed—which he found a hard command. But all the things that God would have us do are hard for us to do—remember that—and hence, he oftener commands us than endeavors to persuade. And if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves; and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.\n“With this sin of disobedience in him, Jonah still further flouts at God, by seeking to flee from Him. He thinks that a ship made by men will carry him into countries where God does not reign, but only the Captains of this earth. He skulks about the wharves of Joppa, and seeks a ship that’s bound for Tarshish. There lurks, perhaps, a hitherto unheeded meaning here. By all accounts Tarshish could have been no other city than the modern Cadiz. That’s the opinion of learned men. And where is Cadiz, shipmates? Cadiz is in Spain; as far by water, from Joppa, as Jonah could possibly have sailed in those ancient days, when the Atlantic was an almost unknown sea. Because Joppa, the modern Jaffa, shipmates, is on the most easterly coast of the Mediterranean, the Syrian; and Tarshish or Cadiz more than two thousand miles to the westward from that, just outside the Straits of Gibraltar. See ye not then, shipmates, that Jonah sought to flee world-wide from God? Miserable man! Oh! most contemptible and worthy of all scorn; with slouched hat and guilty eye, skulking from his God; prowling among the shipping like a vile burglar hastening to cross the seas. So disordered, self-condemning is his look, that had there been policemen in those days, Jonah, on the mere suspicion of something wrong, had been arrested ere he touched a deck. How plainly he’s a fugitive! no baggage, not a hat-box, valise, or carpet-bag,—no friends accompany him to the wharf with their adieux. At last, after much dodging search, he finds the Tarshish ship receiving the last items of her cargo; and as he steps on board to see its Captain in the cabin, all the sailors for the moment desist from hoisting in the goods, to mark the stranger’s evil eye. Jonah sees this; but in vain he tries to look all ease and confidence; in vain essays his wretched smile. Strong intuitions of the man assure the mariners he can be no innocent. In their gamesome but still serious way, one whispers to the other—”Jack, he’s robbed a widow;” or, “Joe, do you mark him; he’s a bigamist;” or, “Harry lad, I guess he’s the adulterer that broke jail in old Gomorrah, or belike, one of the missing murderers from Sodom.” Another runs to read the bill that’s stuck against the spile upon the wharf to which the ship is moored, offering five hundred gold coins for the apprehension of a parricide, and containing a description of his person. He reads, and looks from Jonah to the bill; while all his sympathetic shipmates now crowd round Jonah, prepared to lay their hands upon him. Frighted Jonah trembles, and summoning all his boldness to his face, only looks so much the more a coward. He will not confess himself suspected; but that itself is strong suspicion. So he makes the best of it; and when the sailors find him not to be the man that is advertised, they let him pass, and he descends into the cabin.\n“‘Who’s there?’ cries the Captain at his busy desk, hurriedly making out his papers for the Customs—’Who’s there?’ Oh! how that harmless question mangles Jonah! For the instant he almost turns to flee again. But he rallies. ‘I seek a passage in this ship to Tarshish; how soon sail ye, sir?’ Thus far the busy Captain had not looked up to Jonah, though the man now stands before him; but no sooner does he hear that hollow voice, than he darts a scrutinizing glance. ‘We sail with the next coming tide,’ at last he slowly answered, still intently eyeing him. ‘No sooner, sir?’—’Soon enough for any honest man that goes a passenger.’ Ha! Jonah, that’s another stab. But he swiftly calls away the Captain from that scent. ‘I’ll sail with ye,’—he says,—’the passage money how much is that?—I’ll pay now.’ For it is particularly written, shipmates, as if it were a thing not to be overlooked in this history, ‘that he paid the fare thereof’ ere the craft did sail.

We will move to initiate support structures for fellowship and strategy, We will act courageously and faithfully to support \"at risk\" parishes. We will creatively redirect finances. We will refocus on Gospel initiatives. We will innovatively move around, beyond or within the canons to \"act like the church God is making us\". Stage 1 will enable congregations/clusters to keep clear use of their buildings for the foreseeable future, and would give critical time to strengthen our leadership circles for what promises to be a turbulent spiritual season.The Via Media groups interpreted the Chapman letter this way;\nStage 2 will launch at some yet to be determined moment, probably in 2004. During this phase, we will seek, under the guidance of the Primates, negotiated settlements in matters of property, jurisdiction, pastoral succession and communion, If adequate settlements are not within reach, a faithful disobedience of canon law on a widespread basis may be necessary.\nThe letter speaks for itself. Property, not piety is keeping dissident parishes in the Episcopal Church. In the longer term, the AAC expects to use foreign intervention to trump American law and the Episcopal Church Constitution and Canons. Its leaders are assuring dissident parishes that the Anglican primates, a consultative body with no governing authority or standing in the United States, will ride to the rescue of Network parishes, negotiate property settlements and transfer the assets of 2.3-million-member church to a group representing perhaps a tenth of that body. The Chapman letter reveals the AAC's \"realignment\" for what it really is -- the overthrow of the Episcopal Church by extra-legal means.The defense was that this was just the opinion of one person, was not the view of the AAC/Network, and various other smoke and mirrors tactics which seemed to have successfully removed this letter from the consciousness of many Episcopalians.\nSince then, more documents have come to light as a result of legal action taken by Calvary Episcopal Church against certain officials of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, including Bishop Duncan. Calvary felt the need to do this because of planned diocesan canonical changes that would allow Pittsburgh not to be bound by the canons of the Episcopal Church, thus allowing the diocese to claim title to all property. This was seen as the first step in a plan by some officials of the diocese of Pittsburgh to leave the Episcopal Church.\nThe court documents used to prove that there was indeed a plan to leave the Episcopal Church are quite revealing. The link is to a rather large pdf file (sorry folks). The entire thing is worth reading, but you may want to jump right to the last dozen pages, which shows copies of the documents placed in evidence. Interestingly, every one of the members of the \"Dromantine Six\" (those lurking about the primates' meeting in Ireland who were chastised by name by PB Griswold this last week) make an appearance in these pages. I'll just mention a few things that jumped out at me.\nThe first piece of evidence is what appears to be a verbatim transcript of an earlier hearing, in which the Chapman letter was dismissed as \"one individual...(making) notes on a piece of paper.\" A bit weak, it seems to me, but ok, let's move on.\nThe next document, which appears to have \"Mainstream Meeting\" scribbled at the top, dated 11/20/03, seems to be from a meeting of Network/AAC bishops. It has quite a few enlightening pieces to it, but the ones that caught my eye were near the bottom; \"D. We intend to cross diocesan boundaries...F. We commit to the guerrilla warfare of the next year.\" Oh, that's what was going on in Ireland; guerilla warfare? Imagine that.\nNext follows a few e-mails. The one from Hugo Blankingship, an attorney, is worth noting. He states, \"John Rees won't listen to anything but our staying in ECUSA.\" Who is John Rees? The legal consultant assigned to the Eames Commission, the body which drafted the Windsor Report. The plan was to have the recognition of a separate province included as one of the recommendations in the WR. Since it looked like that wasn't going to happen (it didn't), plan B was to make sure \"that changes if pressure within the Communion builds up.\"\nThe next rather revealing document is an e-mail from Diane Knippers, President of the Institute on Religion and Democracy, with whom the AAC/Network shared office space, board members and wealthy contributors for many years. To refresh your memory, the IRD started as an anti-communist grant clearinghouse during the Reagan era, focusing especially on Central America (does Iran-Contra and death squads in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras ring a bell?) When they ran out of communists, they turned on the mainline Protestant churches. Knippers begins with this statement; \"...I believe it will be increasingly important for the Network to take on the various functions of a Church.\" Sure sounds like a planned coup d'etat to me. We then see Knipper's continued inclination towards clandestine operations in the last paragraph; \"I'm still on the SCER (Standing Committee on Ecumenical Relations) - but not because I could honestly represent the Episcopal Church in ecumenical dialogue...I'll resign when I need to, but I would like to hang in there as an obstinate and contrary voice a bit longer.\" Infiltrate and be a subversive element; hmmm...that tactic sounds familiar.\nTake a careful look at the \"Draft Proposal for Overseas AEO\" (Alternative Episcopal Oversight). This is where the foreign bishops come in. It's all spelled out in black and white. I wonder how Abp. Akinola is going to feel when it dawns on him he's been merely a pawn in the plan?\nWhat conclusion do you come to when you read this stuff? What I see is a handful of folks, primarily bishops, priests, and attorneys, trying to orchestrate a takeover of the Episcopal Church; building this \"parallel universe\" on the backs of our gay and lesbian members. To the troops, they scream about the bible and tradition. Among themselves, it's all about property and power.\nThe sad thing is, I know quite a few good folks who have bought their...what was the phrase they used?...oh yea; \"road shows,\" and are going to really be hurt when they wake up one day and realize they've been hoodwinked by a band of scoundrels, and in the name of God, no less.", "char_count": 7256, "token_count": 1814, "k_exact": 2.8685, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9438, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The event had a wonderful turnout and attendees enjoyed the chance to celebrate NYC’s fashion week in techsy style!\nBut just who are the brands that attended the event? What’s their take on the event industry? And what did they think of TechStyleNYC? We took the opportunity to interview a few of the attendees and over the next few days will be featuring their interviews, read on for a peek inside the experience:\nWe talked to Sara Shake and Jonna Piira, Co-founders of Kali\nFirst of all, please tell our readers about you – what is the company all about?\nKali is an organic tampon subscription box that donates $1 from every box sold to Girl Up, a campaign that is a part of the United Nation’s Foundation. We are leading what we call the “Tampon Revolution” to educate women about the benefits of choosing organic when it comes to their feminine hygiene products. We shipped our first boxes in December of 2015 and are gaining new Kali Girls everyday.\nWhat were the 3 keys to getting the company off the ground – where did you invest your time?\nWe subscribe to the Traction model, so 50% of our time was spent on discovering the most effective traction channels and 50% of our time was spent on product development. Once we were live, we made adjustments quickly to adapt to what our customers were asking for, which is why almost immediately we implemented customized ordering frequency and started working on additional products (in this case organic cotton pads and liners, due out this Summer).\nJust having participated in TechStyle NYC, what role do live events play in your branding and marketing initiatives?\nEvents give us the chance to connect with our target audience and tell the story of our brand in person. Events have also given us an amazing platform to change the conversation around women’s menstruation and make it a topic that is no longer spoken about in whispers. We also love explaining the concept to men, and have been extremely impressed at how many men are supportive of the products and movement towards organic.\nWhat was a successful social media campaign you hosted that showed great engagement and traction?\nWe have had the opportunity to work with some amazing influencers along the way and have seen many subscriptions come from reviews posted on social media from women like The Goofy Mermaid, NiHao New York, Foxy Boss Life, and The Strong Movement. Initially, we used Thunderclap to launch the Kali website and had a great response.\nFinally, what is your favorite app?\nWe recently did a wrap up of our favorite wellness apps on our blog, right now we are really loving TalkSpace, ZocDoc, and period-tracker, Clue. For travel, you can’t beat the AirBnb app, and of course we live by our JetBlue app.", "char_count": 3132, "token_count": 783, "k_exact": 2.0266, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8088, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Cast-Iron Skillets: Three Reasons They’re Great\nLearn how to care for your skillet and reap its benefits.\nEver wonder what the big fuss is about when it comes to cast iron for your everyday cooking? There are plenty of benefits in using cast iron. Here are the top three:\n- Nonstick properties: When properly cared for, cast iron has a naturally nonstick surface that minimizes the amount of oil you need to cook.\n- Iron Fortified: Cast iron also increases the iron content of food up to 20 times, especially when it’s an acidic food such as tomato sauce. The longer the food has contact with the pan, the more it absorbs. Iron is an important mineral and is beneficial in producing red blood cells.\n- Versatile: Cast iron's third great strength is its versatility. You can use it for sautéing, deep or shallow frying, stir frying and baking. It can be used on an electric or gas stove, on an open fire or in an oven. Another bonus is that the pan evenly distributes heat, promoting uniform cooking.\nTo season your pan properly, follow these simple steps:\n- Hand-wash the pan with hot water. No soap is needed. Never place a cast-iron skillet in the dishwasher due to the detergent’s effect of removing the seasoning.\n- Remove burnt-on food by scrubbing the pan with coarse salt and a nonmetal brush.\n- Dry the pan immediately after each wash and lightly coat the surface with a neutral oil such as canola or coconut oil.\nAlthough there are many benefits in using a cast iron skillet, be aware that these pans are heavy and require a little bit more attention than a typical pan.

The short story is these “perma-temps” where seeking benefits and stability afforded permanent Microsoft employees. Please read here before proceeding further so you have the proper context about what I plan to say.\nMany words have been written over the past two years about the changing nature of the relationship between partners and vendors. My own take is that partners pride themselves as technology and business advisors providing value as consultants to clients. That’s what gets us up in the morning. No doubt about it.\nBut in a quantitative-based “Marketing 2.0” world of measurable metrics, the SMB vendors have become not nice people, viewing us as “resellers” who have no other passion than to sell licenses. Their Jim Crow language about “partnering” and their degrading actions are repulsive and highly offensive to our culture. And they don’t care. It’s all about the monthly pipeline report. Unknowingly they are increasingly biting the hand that feeds them.\nThis sets up the dynamic for considering some type of organization. When relationships are out of balance, there will be a reaction. Just ask the US Republican party in this Fall’s elections. Given over 80% of the SMB Nation tribe self-identifies themselves as MSPs, I’d offer this is a segment you shouldn’t ignore.\nYears ago, under the late Jim Locke, the fledging SMB Technology Network (SMBTN) messaged aspects of organizing as a collective to bargain both against and fairly with the vendors. It was one of its pillars if not mission statement. While its intentions were noble, it didn’t execute broadly to truly organize MSPs to cut better deals with vendors and receive better treatment.\nSo in the spirit of late August crowd sourcing, use the comment section to tell me what you think.

-{"text": "A Lap Puppy Diary by SEMPCAmember Tom Fielitz\nEarly in the 23 year history of the Cannonball One Lap of America race, a competitor was asked what motivated him to come back every year. His response was “You either run with the big dogs or sit on the porch.” Since then, experienced One Lap competitors have been known as Lap Dogs, and One Lap rookies – Lap Puppies. This year, Al Wright and I became Lap Puppies and this is an account of our adventure.\nMost people’s knowledge of this event is limited to the glorified Hollywood movie version titled The Cannonball Run, with Burt Reynolds and friends. The real Cannonball is very different!\nThe original Cannonball was contested on public roads. For the past two decades it has been contested on the top race tracks in the country, linked together in one long week of transit driving from state to state. The 2006 Cannonball race route began in Indiana, ranged west into Iowa, south into Louisiana, east to Virginia and north to Wisconsin before ending back in Indiana. There were 86 cars in various classifications contesting 20 racing events ranging from skid pad to stock car oval and road race courses to drag strip.\nAl and I were entered in his leased 2004 Porsche Cayenne S, an SUV that does normal duty as tow vehicle for his racing Porsche GT2 Turbo. Why would we choose to race the Cayenne instead of the race car? Because it would be more comfortable on the long transit drives and we presumed that the SUV class would not be hotly contested. Our first surprise was to learn that there were six entries in our class. The hottest prospect was an entry by Chrysler’s SRT group of a Jeep Hemi Cherokee with 425 horsepower, carbon fiber body panels and Plexiglas windows, piloted by the SRT test driver, Eric Heuschele. Two other factory entries were Honda Odyssey vans sporting racing motors, brakes and suspensions and driven by professional Honda test drivers. The non-factory entries were equally potent with a Chevrolet S-10 Blazer body cleverly covering a Corvette C4 chassis and Grand Sport engine. The Blazer was driven by a team from the Carolina Speed Shop in their 18th consecutive Cannonball – legends in this race. Finally there was a Ford F150 4X4 entered by Powerworks with a 550 horsepower supercharged engine. Our Cayenne, with its 340 horsepower and 5,300 pounds seemed hopelessly outclassed.\nOur total preparation consisted of replacing the stock tires with the lowest profile, softest compound Bridgestone tires that would fit the rims. It lowered the Cayenne by over two inches and gave it a distinctive “low rider” appearance. We optimistically figured we would make up the performance difference with driving talent and Porsche technology.\nThe only rule in the Cannonball is that “there are no rules.” Our fellow participants drove such things as a Viper race car with a 1,000 horsepower twin turbo Chevrolet race motor and a Porsche 944 with a Corvette Z06 motor. Cost is no object and no car combination is too weird. It should also be noted that driving talent ranged from the casual driving school participant to the career professional racer. This is the “Big Show” of unconventional racing.\nThis was the fastest and most evenly matched group of One Lap competitors that had ever been assembled.\nOur One Lap adventure started on Friday night with a banquet in South Bend. We shared dinner with our Blazer competitors, Glen Dodd, Charles Lovelady, and Michael Stein. They entertained us with their past exploits both on the track and on the road. They became our instant friends and our closest competition throughout the race.\nSaturday morning we all gathered in the parking lot of The Tire Rack. The first event was a skid pad that was soaking wet. A good effort by Al resulted in a second place in class behind the Jeep and 36th overall. That Saturday afternoon we were on the road to Illinois for the first road race event.\nThat was when we discovered that transit stage drives would be every bit as intense as driving on the track. Unfamiliar roads and unpredictable traffic made every transit drive a tension-filled experience. Without the front and rear radar detectors plus the latest computerized route technology, the transits would have been much more difficult.\nThe tracks were also demanding since we had not seen any of these track layouts except on paper. A pre racetrack walk seemed to us to be a poor use of our energy. The race events consisted of one reconnaissance lap followed by three timed laps with results based on cumulative time. Our poor Saturday afternoon race track result put us back in 74th overall and fifth in class. We went from second in class to fifth – all in the same day. The fight was on and we were humbled, but not discouraged.\nThe Saturday night transit took us to Iowa. We arrived at 3:30 a.m. looking for any available motel room. A Warren Buffet Convention had booked every room in Sioux Falls. A $20 bribe to a gas station clerk got us the honeymoon room in a small motel where we indulged in a three hour nap. Our second transit discovery was that motel rooms were essential. Every minute saved on a transit drive became another valuable minute of bed rest. Sleeping during the transits turned out to be too noisy and rough.\nOn Sunday we had two races which we split with our Carolina Blazer team. We were fourth in our class standings, but only barely. With no time to celebrate we headed off on a 1,000 mile overnight express drive to Louisiana.\nMonday in Louisiana we were greeted by oppressive heat and Al’s brother-in-law Rod. Rod surprised us with a huge Cajun lunch of gumbo and stuffed pork roast. Although we struggled to run well at the two races on a challenging track, Rod made our day with cheerful support and good cooking. Our Blazer competitors hit the first of many calamities which kept them out of both race events with electrical gremlins. We took our leftover Cajun food with us on our next transit of 700 miles to Georgia in another all night drive.\nTuesday would be a very busy day with two races, a checkpoint in Midway, Georgia and another 200-mile transit drive to a night race at our one oval track race in Florence, South Carolina. Our day was easy compared to that of our Carolina Blazer team, who literally had the steering wheel fall come off in the driver’s hands at the end of their first race of the day. The normally very composed driver, Charles was much more animated after that incident. In true Cannonball spirit the Carolina team found a junk yard replacement and had it installed in time for the second race! That was typical of many of the Cannonball competitors who were constantly repairing all types of failures from oil pumps to wheel bearings. Our Cayenne maintenance consisted of one quart of oil and swapping the tires front to rear. The grinding under-steer of the Cayenne had worn the Bridgestone name off the front tire sidewalls!\nThe short, banked oval race track in Florence, SC was an unknown track to everybody. Al was picked to drive this race in honor of his 20-plus years of Southern living plus his stock car driving experience. He listened carefully to the track owner describe the nuances of this track and then drove a very inspired race. But it was the big black SRT8 Jeep Cherokee that provided the big show. The driver proved the aptness of his moniker: “Hollywood” by running the oval track with a huge “sprint car” racing wing on the Jeep’s roof. As soon as we could pack up the Cayenne we were on the road again for the 200 mile run to Virginia.\nWednesday was the most difficult race day of all with three races on three different track configurations. With more luck than skill, we bested the Carolina Blazer in two out of the three races. Now solidly fourth in class, we faced yet another all night dash of 675 miles to Indiana and what would be the high point of our Cannonball.\nThursday morning we awoke to a steady rain that would raise the anxiety level of even an experienced Cannonball racer. Track knowledge and the slippery conditions minimized the horsepower advantage of the rest of the field over our Cayenne. The fast cars all slipped and slid to slow times. By the time our turn came to run, the rain had stopped and the racing line around the track was dry. As a result, we finished an astonishing fourth overall on the entire 88 car field and well ahead of everyone in our SUV class. The finishing points brought us right back into competition with one of the Hondas and well up on the rest of our class.\nCancellation of the drag race was good news for our Cayenne team. Canceling an event we were unlikely to win meant extra hours of time to cover a short 215 mile transit leg and a much needed full nights sleep. By this point, distances of 200 miles seemed like mere drives around the block. But in this drive, the temperature plunged to 34 degrees and we faced snow! It must have been a terrifying drive for the team in an open-topped Ultralight. This was a home built car just large enough to hold the driver and passenger but with no windshield, doors, trunk, or roof. Totally exhausted on the transit stage, the team decided to sleep in the car still wearing their helmets. After a while the driver, Kevin Boulton, awoke to what he thought was a passing train. It was the snoring of his co-driver Loren Edwards! After running up and down the road to wake himself up, Kevin fired up the Ultralight and revved the engine to wake Loren. Loren was so shaken that he couldn’t sleep for the rest of the transit.\nFriday in Wisconsin was another terrifying day for most competitors but not for our team. It might have been cold and raining but it was a track that I knew from over thirty years of driving schools. We managed to beat half the field including several Corvettes and a Cadillac CTSV. We were now close in points to third in our SUV class with only one race event left back at the start in South Bend, Indiana.\nSaturday morning everyone was reunited in the parking lot at Tire Rack in South Bend. In just one week we had come full circle; but all the strangers that had gathered a week before in that same parking lot were now fast friends and fellow Lap Dogs. Cars and drivers were posed over and over again for pictures of such an epic moment. On the final skid pad the tables were turned on us and we ran on a cold and damp track first, leaving a dry and warm track to the faster cars.\nIn the final tally, we were a solid fourth in class and not far behind the Honda Odysseys. We were 71st in the overall classification. The winning car for the third year in succession was a Porsche 996 Twin Turbo. They only won one race but never finished lower than third, except for the race in which our modest Cayenne had beaten them! We had spent over $1,000 in gas and $500 in rooms and meals. We averaged only 4 hours of bed rest per night and short naps during transit drives.\nWhen we were preparing for this race we were brave and confident. What could possibly beat a well-prepared and well-driven Porsche? When the race started we were stunned to see the level of factory involvement and competition-prepared cars. We were also humbled to be racing against seasoned and talented amateur and professional drivers. The races and transits were physically and emotionally exhausting. Our hopes were raised at the results of one race only to be dashed at the results of the next race.\nWhen it was over, we both agreed that we were proud of a very good effort, the very best we had in us. I could not have asked for a better team mate or better friend than Al. When you share such an intense experience it cements a friendship. So much so that we will be going back next year in a more competitive Mini Cooper JCW edition and we will be official Lap Dogs.", "char_count": 11778, "token_count": 2944, "k_exact": 2.9645, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9573, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Advised early on by his father that real estate was a wise career, particularly for an African American, Eddie L. Jackson Jr. was recently made a Senior Associate at CB Richard Ellis, the largest commercial real estate firm in the world. “This is an honor and testament to the theory that you can achieve anything you put your mind to,” Eddie says\nBut Eddie Jackson, Jr.’s principles have always placed people first: He attended VCU in the ‘90s, where he majored in Social Work and minored in Real Estate and Urban Land Development. Today, Eddie lives on the Southside of Richmond and enjoys time with his “four wonderfully talented children,” Trinity, 8, Eden, 6, Jordan, 4, and Eddie III, who is 4.\nHow long have you been with CB Richard Ellis?\nI joined the team at CB Richard Ellis about thirty days ago as a Senior Associate. I have had the opportunity to work with and be trained by one of the Richmond office partners for the past 4 and a half years. Transitioning to the firm full time and converting my business solely to commercial real estate was an easy decision. Currently, I am the only African American working for this firm throughout our MidSouth region, which is Fredericksburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Raleigh and Charlotte. Additionally, I am the only African American in Richmond working for any of the “true commercial brokerages.”\nWhat drew you to a profession in real estate?\nMy father gave me the thirst and understanding of real estate and development. As the saying goes, “Since I was knee high to a grass hopper,” this is what I learned and easily established a love and passion for. He added one important fact which helped me focus and learn to go after what my goals are. He shared his thoughts regarding this industry, “Eddie, Real estate is a black man’s ticket to wealth and freedom. If you own land, you can learn to leverage your financial status and lift your family out of poverty.”\nDo you specialize in a particular kind of commercial property?\nI am a jack-of-all-trades, which will narrow down as my career continues to unfold. I have extensive broker experience in the historic tax credit and development side of the business. In addition, I work in the following areas: Industrial office, multi-family and retail. I am able to offer consulting services to business owners who may wonder how to expand their market presence. I am currently working toward the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation. A CCIM is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. A CCIM is an invaluable resource to the commercial real estate owner, investor, and user, and is among an elite corps of more than 9,000 professionals who hold the CCIM designation across North America and more than 30 countries.\nWhat are some of your hobbies, and how do you relax when you have time off?\nMy hobbies consist of looking for new projects to develop mainly. In addition, I spend time with my shared pets, Leonidus, Neapolitan Mastiff, Moses, an English bulldog, three cats, Stella, Memphis and Assar. Oh yeah, and [I have] two very fertile rabbits.

-{"text": "Women’s golf traveled east last weekend for the Wellesley Invitational, a two-day event that became a one-day Sunday tournament due to the heavy rains that blanketed the area. The Ephs played in a field of eight teams at the Nehoiden Golf Course on the Wellesley campus, which is only a nine-hole course. The small course forced the women to play around twice to count for one round. Melissa Barton ’09, Anne O’Leary ’10, Mary Gelber ’10, Aimee Weber ’11 and Kristen Tubbs ’12 represented the squad. At Sunday’s end the women tied for third with Vassar with a team total of 348, following first-place Middlebury (335) and runner-up, Amherst (340).\nThe women began Sunday’s round in the rain which continued throughout the day, but despite the conditions, the team was ready to put on its game face and challenge the competition. Unfortunately, the day’s outcome was not what the Ephs were looking to achieve. Overall the rainy conditions inflated the scores, with only three individuals from the field shooting in the 70s. The Ephs were especially concerned with how they placed in the rankings, feeling that they played beneath their potential. “We have yet to come out of a weekend feeling like we put together four good scores,” O’Leary said.\nLeading the Ephs for the weekend was first-year Tubbs carding an 83, followed by Barton with an 86. Gelber and O’Leary contributed with an 89 and 90, respectively. In the field of 40 players, Tubbs finished eighth individually. Head Coach Kris Herman and the team were excited to see Tubbs making such an impact in her third collegiate event.\nThe individual medalist of the event was from Vassar with a score of 77.\nThis weekend the team will travel to Middlebury for a two-day invitational.

-{"text": "More than 100 Libyan men stood at attention, marched in place and chanted \"God is great\" before a squad of trainers in Benghazi, the epicenter of the opposition-controlled eastern half of Libya.\nThe trainers gave them patriotic speeches before putting them to work cleaning machine gun parts.\nEven while the rebel army tries to bind together its disparate parts to face off against the forces of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, it has to deal with an influx of eager volunteers filled with enthusiasm for a march to Tripoli, but short on real military experience.\nAlready, bands of Libyans have picked up weapons and headed west to help rebels in Tripoli and the nearby embattled city of Masrata, although many have run afoul of pro-Gadhafi forces along the 600-mile (1,000-kilometer) journey, especially in his hometown of Sirte.\nTraining sessions for the volunteers have been set up around Benghazi, but the zeal of the new recruits is being tempered by the caution of the officers _ and the need to clean up some rusty weapons and equipment.\n\"All the Libyan people are volunteers and want to do anything to get military training,\" said Col. Mohammed Rifai, a fighter pilot at the military air base, which has also taken on its share of volunteers. He just shook his head about reports of bands of fighters heading off on their own.\n\"We don't approve. Coordination is the best thing _ but it is a revolution of the people,\" he said with a shrug.\nSo far, the rebel army is just getting organized, with an announcement Tuesday that the Libyan Military Council has been formed to coordinate among the disparate units scattered across the east.\nBenghazi, however, is still gripped by a revolutionary fervor less than two weeks since the rout of Gadhafi's forces and freeing of the east from his control.\nVolunteers are still directing traffic and manning checkpoints into the early hours of the morning to make up for the continuing absence of police and traffic cops and cars still drive around waving the newly adopted flag of the old monarchy.\nThe most fervent are flocking to recruitment centers to sign up as volunteer fighters and already some 5,000 have registered in Benghazi and hundreds elsewhere in the east, according to authorities, despite word that some volunteers have been killed trying to join the fighting in the west.\n\"I would prefer to go immediately,\" said Mohammed Shebeik, 38, as he waited in line in a converted school yard to sign his name, while patriotic songs blared over a loudspeaker. \"I hear at least 20 people died in Sirte, but we are not afraid. All of Libya is one hand.\"\nHe added that like most Libyans, he learned a bit of weapons training in high school.\nFaisal Mohammed, 28, who had already signed his name and sat in the school yard with 100 other recruits waiting for the training to begin, was more blunt.\n\"If there was a group leaving (to go fight), I would go,\" he said.\nNext to the training area, Col. Saleh Ashur supervised soldiers and a number of volunteers polishing the rust off the barrels of anti-aircraft guns and greasing up the individual parts.\n\"Speaking as an officer in the army, I say they have to be organized to attack not just to go out on your own,\" he said, with the weariness of age and experience in the face of all that enthusiasm.\nHe noted the irony that Gadhafi had ordered weapons training for all high school students, and \"now the training is being turned against Gadhafi,\" but he said once their five-day refresher course was complete, the volunteers would be asked to go home and wait for a call.\nAt the school, trainer Ahmed Jibreel ordered his recruits to stand up, march in place, turn left, turn right and shout \"God is great,\" while behind him others patiently scrubbed away at another filthy anti-aircraft gun.\n\"We are getting the guns ready in order to fight, and the guns need to be kept clean for battle,\" he said, when asked why the recruits seemed to be largely reserved for cleaning duties.\n\"Eventually we will use live ammunition in the training,\" said Jibril, who declined to give his rank saying that in the new Libyan army, there were no ranks. \"We are here not to show off but to create fighters to win the battle.\"\nThe rebel army says there are plenty of weapons with which to arm these new recruits, although by most estimates the military lacks up-to-date equipment, heavy weapons and large supplies of ammunition. All the soldiers were wearing different kinds of uniforms and camouflage, including a fair amount of U.S. Army surplus.\n\"Uniforms aren't important,\" Jibril said. \"What's important is the determination which makes the impossible, possible. Gadhafi is a paper tiger.\"\nPaper tiger or not, Libya's rebel military is remaining cautious, even as battles rage across the country's west as Gadhafi tries to retake fallen towns.\n\"We are waiting for the revolution in Tripoli to do something before we move,\" said Ashur.", "char_count": 4917, "token_count": 1229, "k_exact": 3.6123, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.8629, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

If mold remediation is performed with no sense of direction, it will definitely increase the level of airborne mold contaminants. These particles could affect other areas of the home as well. The good news is, you typically wont experience mold in your home unless you have an issue with excessive moisture. This could come in many forms – such as leaking pipes, flood damage, or high levels of humidity. Most species of mold thrive in areas of moisture that is damp for at least a day. The reason why it is so important to call the professionals in the situation of mold is because it can grow anywhere, and in unusual places such as behind walls, in air conditioning systems, insides of walls, and even beneath carpet. Our IICRC trained professionals can spot this expertly. Mold can be identified by its color, and usually a musty odor accompanies it.\nMold and Environmental Cleanup Services Throughout Nassau and Suffolk County NY (631) 449-7240\nWe employ state-of-the-art technology and follow our industry’s standard of care to eliminate mold growth from homes, offices, healthcare facilities, etc. If your home or place of work has been impacted by water damage and ensuing mold growth, our team of experts can take care of it in no time!

In addition to more square footage, each suite will have a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the feeling of even more space.\nElegance and Style\nThe lobby is set to have the elegance of a luxury hotel and will be complemented by the first Buca restaurant outside of Toronto. The high-end eatery will be 4,500 square feet and will serve top quality Italian food to residents in the finest of surroundings.\nIn another innovative move, Transit City won’t have its own gym. Instead, residents will have access to a brand-new, custom-built, 100,000 sq ft YMCA facility, which will be just steps away and part of SmartCentres Place.\nThe building will also be next to a new 9-acre park that will be the focal point of SmartCentres Place. The emphasis on creating wide-open green spaces show the intentions of the developers to create a genuine community for people to live, work and play in. In addition to the park, plans for SmartCentres place include shopping, office towers, a library, a community centre, and other entertainment options.

-{"text": "Thursday, December 17, 2009\nThis old man was the star of many news . I remember seeing him in quite a few places. Now another newsclip has surfaced on the British Pathe Website - titled \"Nehru In Kashmir\", it shows the visit of PM Nehru and various other delegates to Kashmir sometime in November 47.\nOne still from the clip shows the same Prisoner - being examined by Group Captain Arjan Singh DFC (later Air Chief and Marshal of the AF). I do not remember where Arjan Singh was - probably with Air HQ or something, but he is seen in the clip very curious about the tribesman's coat buttons - My guess, the buttons have some kind of an embossed crest that sparked Arjan's interest.\nI do wonder who this old POW was - if he got repatriated, if he went back to his village with tales of his stay in India and all.. etc etc.\nMonday, December 07, 2009\nThe contents of the album were mostly the sights of the NWFP - places like Peshawar, Kohat, Lower Topa find mention. Some are Aerial shots, others are on the ground. Of people, of cattle and the sights. These were interspersed with the odd RAF aircraft photographs. This was what caught my interest.\nThe Upper Left photo shows a pranged Westland Wapiti with the caption \"An Error of Judgement\" - The Wapiti K1294 appears to belong to No.5 Squadron RAF - as indcated by the white fuselage band around the rear part of the aircraft. Other photographs in the series also showed a colour print of \"HMT Dunera\", \"S O P Farnborough 1934\" and a photograph titled \"Lower Topa\". HMT Dunera apparently began its career in 1937 and this sort of gives us a timeframe for the Album. The name of the ship sounded familiar - later I realised that it was the same ship in which Fg Offr Balan Dandapani, a WW2 Veteran that I interviewed in 2007, travelled as part of the British Commonwealth Occupational Foces in Japan.\nIt was the next series of photographs that made me stand up. In the lower right, was the picture of a Westland Wapiti in flight. What sets this one apart was the chequerboard fuselage marking - a marking sported only by the aircraft of No.1 Squadron, Indian Air Force. I do not ever recall seeing this particular picture - and is probably one of the very rare few of an IAF Wapiti in Flight.\nThe next page had a very interesting color drawing - the official crest of Aircraft Depot Karachi. Again, most certainly a post 1937 development. This figures in with above as the IAF unit was initially based at Drigh Road, where the Aircraft Depot was. Other shots include aerial views of Karachi and Manora, Kohat, Peshawar, Lahore etc.\nOfcourse the question still unanswered - where is this album now? If you are the owner and you are reading this, why not drop in a comment ?\nWednesday, October 21, 2009\nAfter downloading two years worth of issues and going through them, some interesting nuggets turned up. Being in Delhi they have access to all the Air Force events and have several photographs from the Parades. One of the is as follows:\nThis is the first time I am seeing a Kh-29 Air to Surface Missile mated onto a MiG-27ML of the Indian Air Force. While MiG-23s and 27s were known to carry this munition, it has never before been seen mounted on an Indian MiG-27 in public before. While the missile itself is on display in the Museum and had been showcased in photographs or republic day parades as a seperate entity, this is certainly the first time it is shown mounted on a MiG-27, and that too a plain vanilla non-upgraded MiG-27.\nYes, the missile does look like an inert example. It had never been shown being fired in any of the IAF's FPD, and any that were acquired in the 80s are probably time expired by now, but hey - lets savour the moment - an ASM on the good old Bahadur - never seen in twenty years but now out in the public!\nTuesday, October 06, 2009\nTuesday, September 08, 2009\nAmong my collector friends (some of them with very deep pockets) , no one has a copy. So I solemnly declare that this is the only copy known to be in the wild. Even USI is said to have only a photocopy.\nI am listing the copies with other Libraries here. Let me know if you run into any stashed away anywhere.\nOh btw.

Vinayak Dutt Shukla has one copy in his collection too - and he sends proof! Its actually in better condition than my copy..\nCongratualations on the great acquisition - Now guard it with your life VDS!\nTuesday, July 14, 2009\nFriday, June 12, 2009\nThe book offers the first critical look at the PAF's role in 65 and offers a honest and dispassionate look at the PAF planning and claims. There are some great stories about 71 too. It would take too long for me to write all about it.. but in short.. go out and buy this book - its money well spent.\nMonday, June 08, 2009\nAt the risk of being accused of blowing my own trumpet, my forthcoming book on the Bangladesh Air War will have more information on the Squadron ops than the Squadron;s official history.\nSunday, June 07, 2009\nNot the whole collection - There are a few more books to be bought and procured. This is from last year. The earlier post which is similar is two years old. Will update a photo from this year shortly as I got yet another half a dozen new books including the elusive \"Touching the Sky\" Coffee table book.\nThursday, May 28, 2009\nFirst about the scope of this book - Contrary to the title, which tends to raise expectations among history buffs like me, the book is about the personal experiences of Air Cmde Rais Rafi (Retd-PAF). who has been in the thick of action in both wars flying missions in B-57 bombers. Rais Rafi was one of the two Squadron Commanders from the 65 war, the other being Air Commodore Najib Khan. Being the Squadron CO, Rafi is in a good position to give a blow by blow account of the operations that he was involved in.\nExpectedly, the book provides a very in-depth minute by minute coverage of the missions flown by him and his compatriots. While most of the major events are covered, a few of the events from the perspective of his compatriots are missed out. Since Rafi was based at Mauripur at the start of the 65 war, the focus is on ops from Mauripur which are well covered. there is not enough info on the initial and later ops of the B-57s from Peshawar. Especially the effective raids on Adampur on the evening of Sept 6th.\nThe coverage of the war improves towards the latter days. The narration is interspersed with profiles of notable B-57 pilots in the PAF, along with their photographs and the details of the actions. There are several snippets of information related to the B-57 tactics that one finds useful. In no particular order\n1. The B-57s used their RB1A all weather radar to map the terrain. key features like bridges clearly showed up on the radar screen . This explains their relative effectiveness as compared to the Indian Canberras in 65.\n2. The B-57s used skip bombing techniques at Ambala during 65, one of which resulted in the bomb bouncing off and hitting the Cathedral near the airfield.\n3. The ac used the wing mounted guns liberally.. i.e use them to strafe airfields once in a while - not just drop bombs.\n4. bomb dropping is done by 'punching a clock' - reference to some bombing computer? on most occasions it appears the pilot would release the bombs manually, but the calculations are done by this onboard computer.\n5. Nice insight is given into the B-57 shot down over Adampur on Sept 14 . It appears that the crew (Altaf Sheikh and Bashir Choudhary) pushed their luck by making multiple attacks on the airfield on the same sortie - the guns finding their mark on the fourth pass. Though nothing is mentioned about the travails of both the airmen on the ground - they were nearly lynched by the Punjab farmers - a very nice anecdote is given on their repatriation and the stark contrast on how they were received in Pakistan versus the reception Indian POWs got on their repatriation in India.\nThe three PAF POWs look on as the Indian POWs get a grand reception in Delhi on their repatriation\nThe book draft was probably finalised in 1989, but it could have benefited from some updating. For example, the author believes that the B-57 lost at Jamnagar crashed into the Sea due to disorientation of the pilot - Rafi was exiting out of the Jamnagar flying area when the ill-fated B-57 was coming in. This information of it crashing in sea could easily have been corrected as enough evidence existed even in 65 that it crashed on land. Several artifacts were salvaged from the crash site by the Indian government - most notably a page from the diary of the pilot.\nThe B-57 force was somewhat reduced by the time of the 71 war and it now comprised only one Squadron (No.8 PAF). They operated initially out of Mauripur and later moved up north. As with the 65 War narration, the coverage of Rafi's personal sorties are covered in great depth. He describes in good detail the launch of attacks on Ambala and Agra on the first day. Amritsar on the second day etc. However the details of many other important B-57 missions are missing - including the mission details on which B57 losses have occurred. Most get only a cursory mention - eg ' a B-57 was lost in the south today'. It is slightly disappointing to note that after describing the 65 losses in great detail, he is unable to do the same about 71.\nRafi's last Sorties were done on 8 Dec so not much is written about other operations till the rest of the war. Absolutely very little info exist on the operations in the southern sector. Details of Mauripur's B57 force do not get any space here - but that is expected because this is a personal account.\nOther interesting facts that come out of the book -\n-Rafi confirms the presence of atleast one B-57 at Rafiqui on the morning of Dec 4th. This was a mystery before as Air Marshal VK \"Jimmy\" Bhatia's article mentions seeing a B-57 at Rafiqui, while the Pakistani contention was always that B-57s were not based at Rafiqui. The book gives in details the a B57 ended up at Rafqiui on that day. and says it was flown out the next morning. - A nice description of the aftermath of the \"Steel Tripod\" attack done by Wg Cdr Gautam of No.16 Squadron on Mianwali. The raid was a surprise to the Pakistanis - it created no damage but was of some nuisance. The date however appears to be wrong (Night of Dec 3/4 instead of Dec 4/5)\n-Rafi talks about the destruction of a B-57 on the ground at Mianwali - and attributes it to a Hunter attack. Previously the PAF had mentioned that this aircraft was lost on the ground during a servicing accident in which it caught fire. This is a revelation. Rafi also claims that the Hunter that attacked the airfield and caused the damage was shot down by Flt Lt Qazi Ahmed Javed. however this claim is not present for this date in the PAF list but is actually on Dec 4. Did he mix up some dates and places? This definitely needs further research. And having seen the number of things that Rafi actually got wrong, I wouldnt pin much hopes of him being correct on this front either.\nWith the scale down of operations after 8th December and the subsequent 'march to surrender' - Rafi writes considerably about the anguish felt by him and his fellow pilots. Till the very last moment they felt they could make a difference - perhaps 'secure a ceasefire on more honoroble terms'. But as we know they never got that opportunity to try.\nThe copy I have seems to have the quality of a good photocopy. In fact it looks like a \"second edition\" that was made up of binding photocopies. The book has no ISBN, which would mean its market is limited - major stores many not carry it. I got my copy via seller ehjaz786 on ebay.com . He just might have more copies with him. If your focus is air wars of the subcontinent, your library should have this interesting addition!\nPost Script: This review was done months ago - based on one of my posts at ACIG/Warbirds Forum, but posted only now. The Author Air Cmde Rafi passed away early this year in Pakistan.\nSaturday, May 02, 2009\nSix and a half squadrons flew this aircraft during the 1971 War, and more than a Squadron's worth were lost in the operations - Aerial Combat, Ground Fire, Accidents.\nWhat is unusual in this photograph is the lack of tail number on the aircraft. The roundel on the front fuselage confirms that this is not an early model but probably one of the batch that was delivered after 1969.\nI dont know the source of this colour photograph other than that it appeared in one of the Air Enthusiast series of magazines. It is also on the cover of Puspindar Singh's \"Aircraft of the Indian Air Force 1933-73\" - thus one can safely assume that this photo predates that book. Air to Air Colour photographs from the 60s are almost non-existant and the origin of this photo is a mystery to say the least.\nSunday, February 08, 2009\nYears ago,I read suggestions that Brewster Buffalos may have served with the IAF (Dan Ford's Warbird Forum) and one example was transferred to the IAF (Joe Baugher) etc. I used to laugh at that suggestion. I was pretty damn sure that the Buffalo never served with the Indian Air Force. But if you ask me today, I am not laughing! The reason, I was emailed some a couple of scans of late Squadron Leader Jehangir Merwan Engineer's logbook last year from his daughter - Mrs Farida Engineer. The logbook discloses that between May and July 43, He served with No.22 Anti Aircraft Cooperation Unit ( a composite RAF/IAF Unit ). (No.22AACU Was formed as an RAF unit out of IAF Anti Aircraft Coop Flights - It was later transferred to the Indian Air Force and became the No.22 AACU, IAF.) .\nRight among the list of types he flew during his stint were two Brewster Buffalos! The first ever record that established Indian pilots flew Buffalos with what was later an IAF unit. The Buffalos in question are W8243 and W8245 (Profiles and Pictures above). I note from elsewhere on Dan Ford's Board that these are two of the six Buffalos that were flown back by 67 RAF sqn from the Burma Retreat. it appears these two aircraft were transferred to No.22 Anti Aircraft Cooperation Unit's A flight in Karachi Drigh Road at beginning of 1943 and were flown by Indian pilots later on. I also noticed that the fate of these two aircraft was marked as unknown in the production list available on other sites and books. if anyone is updating their lists, they can add No.22 AACU andthe period May -July 43 for these two aircraft.\nTuesday, January 13, 2009\nI wrote some basic reviews on Amazon for a few - including Mansoor Shah's Gold Bird, Peter Smith's Vultee Vengeance, Roopinder Singh's Arjan Singh, but there are still a lot more great books that I have read over time that I didnt write about. (Yes I have written about YEAGER! - but that was more of a rant than a review!)\nWithout further ado - the books that I should review in detail .. at the earliest! (In no particular order)\n- The Incredible War - Air Marshal Bharat Kumar\n- Himalayan Eagles - Pushpindar Singh\n- Battle for Pakistan - John Fricker\n- The India-Pakistan Air War of 1965 - Yours truly and Samir Chopra\nThe first two are fairly recent. Frickers book is now three decades old, but still a great read if you know what you are looking for. the last one is my own book - its been five years since its final draft, and with loads of research work in between, there are lot of criticisms that I have about it. well.. some day!\nSunday, January 04, 2009\nThe above photo was taken from Defence Journal Magazine from Pakistan. The original article dealt with the 1959 incident where an IAF Canberra was shot down on a recce mission into Pakistan. It took a letter or two before some reader wrote in saying that the photo doesnt look like a Canberra. Infact it looks quite suspiciously like a Bristol Brigand , a type which the PAF had a lone example of. The Brigand crashed on a ferry flight from UK - I believe outside Basra.\nAnyways - Would this turn out to be a picture of the said Brigand? Did DJ actually uncover a hidden gem unknowingly?

Lake Powell has always been Jordan's favorite place and so it was a little sad not having him there with us this year, but we know he is exactly where he is supposed to be right now.\nWell, the baptism went great yesterday and I was the one who did it but I forgot my camera so I am going to have Elder Gomm email them to me so I will have the pictures. It was such a cool experience. I am so happy that I got to do it. Um, what else, haha. I'm sure the boat is clean enough and that is weird that our family has the least amount of people going to Powell this year. I hope everything goes smooth down there. It is a great place and I am sure going to miss that place this year. Um, the week was great. THis week I get to go on exchanges with Elder Thacker so we are excited about that. Tell Zac to write to me, haha, I miss that kid. Um, I do need some new bread and also if you could ask Abbey's mom about the popcorn balls one more time that would be great. Elder Gomm and I are doing great. We are working hard and finding a lot of people. The only thing is, is that the people aren't coming to church so we don't have any more dates yet. I am kinda frustrated about that because we always have great lessons with them and then Sunday comes around and we call them and they don't answer. We played soccer this morning again. I was not too happy about that. That is so sad to hear about Goza (one of Jordan's teammates from Dixie who hurt his knee). Will you get his address for me. I really love that kid. He is such a stud and I love how he just was so nice to me and helped me out. Well, that is all that I have to say. I am doing great and am so happy that I had amazing parents that raised me the way that you guys did and taught me all of the attributes that I have. I am proud to carry the name of Parkinson along side of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

-{"text": "I would like to take the opportunity of this Valentine’s Day to thank a few people who have been instrumental in my growth as a person in this lifetime.\nMy Dad – He has been the cornerstone of my development as a person. He taught me honesty, loyalty, the power of knowledge, the positive attitude, the ability to laugh, reading, writing, music, cinema, theatre, focus, method and above all love and affection for other people. He was a people man!!\nMy Mother – She has been my vigil teaching me tidiness, the eye for detail, value of time, the need to study hard, healthy living and all above – the ability to keep working towards a goal. She has great resolutions in life that is tough to emulate!\nMy Brother, Shuddhasheel – He is 6 years younger and went through the first part of life doing what he did best, being the good younger brother. But then he transformed and how!! Today, he is a Corporate Trainer and a very good one at that. He has taught me a lot. The Power of Self, Determination, Clear-headed focus, Follow through in a work process, diligence, innovative thinking and team building. He taught me the essence of acceptance.\nVijay Dewan, presently MD of The Park Group – He does not remember me. I do not expect him to. The last time he saw was in 1994. But he has left an indelible stamp on my growth as a person. He taught me the beauty of Systems, Procedures and Continuous Development at work. He was far ahead of his times in thought processes. He taught me, indirectly – as I did not dare ever sit down with him, I was a measly Supervisor when he was a VP, the value of class, design, value to customer, posture management, eye for detail, work competence and zeal or passion for excellence. That sure was incredible!!\nMy Father – in – law – I learnt the art of simplicity, humility and honesty from this remarkably down to earth person who rose up the ladder in Tea Industry only through uncomplicated hard work. I have not seen another person like him!\nJeffrey Shabong – If a combo of knowledge, quest for excellence, hard work, smart work and curiosity can carry a person far…here was one example and I just had to emulate this person. It also helped that he has been my brother – in – law for sometime now.\nSujith Gopinath – An unassuming guy with tons of aptitude towards planning. Whew! I sure learned the goodness of planning from this colleague of mine. Absolute method to counter all madness and emerge victorious!!\nRakesh Upadhyay – A master in the Culinary world and my room mate in college, I still try to keep up to his simple adage in life, ‘Be the best in what you do’. He has lived unto it. He has been a hard act to follow.\nVijay Thombre – A creative thinker who provoked me to new levels of creativity in my profession. People like him have the ability to ignite the minds around them and that has occurred with me too. It is a pity I cannot work with him continuously.\nKiran, My Spouse – Last and arguably the one who has influenced my life most. She has a host of qualities I have emulated – Listening ability, clear and concise thought process, uncluttered mind and unfettered decision-making, thoughtful spending, budgeting, target orientation, target achievement (you should just ask her company), logic usage (in all situations), tidiness, eye for taste, planning, practicality, emotional leadership (she gets her teams to do anything…and I mean anything!!), friendliness and above all the capacity to be unruffled.

-{"text": "Chevrolet has taken the wrapping off its newest iteration of the Camaro. Engulfed in a holy war between the Mustang, the Camaro has always been a bit of an underdog. The original Mustang wiped the floor with the original Camaro, in terms of sales, and has kept going up until 2010 where the Camaro has outsold the Mustang since. The last Camaro was a good looking car, though the design got a bit frumpy as time went on, and in most trim levels was very fast.\nBut, aside from the Z/28, it always seem to lack in the handling and interior departments, compared to its competitors.\nHowever, Chevy seems to be hellbent on rectifying those issues with the new 2016 Camaro. The biggest changes come from under the hood, where the Camaro now offers three engine choices. A 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder is now standard in the base car, while a naturally aspirated V6 is optional as well as a fire-breathing 6.2 liter LT1 V8, sourced from the Corvette, in SS guise. The four-banger will boast 272 horses while the V6 will make 335 horsepower and the V8 will have 455 stampeding horses. All engine choices will be available with 6-Speed manuals and 8-Speed automatics.\nFor 2016, the Camaro has also dropped some weight, around 200 lbs worth. That’s a significant amount, and much needed, considering the previous Camaro was a bit of a porker. The New Camaro is also built upon GM’s latest Alpha architecture, which also underpins the Cadillac ATS and CTS, so it should be a rigid chassis with good dynamics. Another benefit of the new chassis is size. The 2016 Camaro will be 2.3 inches shorter in length, 0.8 inches narrower and 1.1 inches shorter in height. This should give the Camaro a bit more nimble feeling over the outgoing car, as that one felt a bit barge-like.\nBoth exterior and interior have been revised as well. The exterior is a bit of the same, which just a nip/tuck here and there to give it a cleaner, tighter look. The last car looked pretty good, so why fix what ain’t broke, right? But it’s the interior that has gone through the biggest change. With a flat-bottomed steering wheel, much nicer ergonomics and a fancy LCD screen in the gauge cluster, the new Camaro’s interior is miles ahead of the outgoing car. The last-gen’s interior felt like it was built by Fisher Price, but Chevy claims this new one has far better materials.\nAccording to some track drives, the new V6 is responsive with a throaty engine note and the shifter is quick and crisp with a light clutch pedal. It’s also said to have direct steering and a balanced and firm chassis. No word on performance numbers just yet, but expect the Camaro to be very competitive with the new Mustang in comparable trim levels.\nWe won’t know for sure, exactly how the Camaro feels, until we get behind the wheel, but with the success of the ATS and CTS I have a feeling that GM is learning how to make some nice handling cars. So I’m assuming that this new Camaro will be no different.", "char_count": 2961, "token_count": 740, "k_exact": 2.4076, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8613, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "“I believe that the lost secret of human emergence..the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a self-reflecting dreamer..that catalyst has to be sought in these alkaloids in the food chain that were catalyzing higher states of intellectual activity.” — Terence McKenna\nTony Wright and Graham Gynn are authors of Left In The Dark– the book that presents Tony’s research outlining a radical re-interpretation of the current data regarding human evolution and, they contend, our recent degenerated state we call “civilization”. You can read the book for free here. Despite such a young and extreme proposal positive reactions are growing and include such minds as Dennis McKenna, Stanislav Grof, Colin Groves, Michael Winkelman and many others.\nThere are many mysterious anomalies about human evolution yet to be adequately explained. These include the human brains rapid expansion in size and complexity, why this accelerating expansion suddenly stalled roughly 200,000 years ago and our brains have been shrinking ever since, and why our rare glimpses of genius goes hand in hand with our species wide insanity.\nThe following is a discussion with Tony Wright on these anomalies and more, followed by some further information on his theory.\nTS: After two decades of research and radical self-experimentation you’ve come to a synthesis between the ancient data and information coming out of modern science. Paradoxically this all seems to indicate a humongous problem, and simultaneously explains why we would be oblivious to it in the first place: we are all suffering from species wide neural retardation, and are now too deluded to even realize when faced with the mountain of evidence. Is this the general idea?\nTW: Yes. It should be virtually impossible to find any supporting evidence for such a profound theory if there was no real problem with the development and structural integrity of our neural system in the first place. If there were only ancient accounts of the diagnosis, or any supporting biological data, or initial support from some of society’s sharpest minds, then it should at least ring alarm bells. That all those elements exist and in addition our collective behavior has long been thought by many to be insane indicates something really serious just doesn’t add up. If everything is fine then the theory would be a no-brainer to refute, and we should at least have no fear in thoroughly checking it out.\nSo during millions of years of evolution in the African tropical forest we developed a symbiosis with fruit, and your proposing that it is no coincidence the most complex tissue in the known universe evolved during a symbiosis with perhaps dozens of species of the most complex chemical factories on the planet. How did this occur?\nI’m proposing that the accelerating expansion of the neo-cortex was due to a runaway feedback mechanism driven by our own hormone system in combination with the complex plant bio-chemistry provided by our diet. What has been overlooked is the profound effects of flooding our brains 24/7 for thousands of generations with this highly advanced molecular engineering formula. Fruit is essentially a womb-like developmental environment for the seeds and has very unique, highly complex hormonally active chemistry. Our early development is dictated by the transcription process whereby changes in how the DNA is read dictate the type of structures that develop. Steroids like testosterone are the key players here, but by incorporating more and more of these DNA-reading plant chemicals into our diet we basically shifted from a typical mammalian developmental environment to more of a plant developmental environment.\nAlong with regulating gene transcription many of these molecules increase brain activity, modulate the endocrine system including the pineal gland, inhibit mono amine oxidase (MAO inhibitors), are antioxidants and also inhibit the activity of our own hormones such as testosterone and oestrogens. Just altering the activity of these two hormones has a dramatic affect on many aspects of our development, physiology and neural structure. For example, decreasing they’re activity extends juvenility and the window for brain development by delaying the onset of sexual maturity.\nAll this coming together would have many interconnected affects and, being that this bio-chemistry would be present in the developmental environment it would dramatically impact what develops at this most sensitive and rapid stage of brain/endocrine system growth in the uterus.\nThis carried on after birth through breastfeeding, and then afterwards through directly ingesting this highly advanced molecular engineering cocktail we call fruit. Each generation would pass down a progressively modified neuro-endocrine system as a result. So after millions of years of ever more entangled co-evolution nearly all of the transcription chemicals present during our early development and on through life that were essential to our optimal design/functioning were lost and replaced by progressively worse substitutes irrelevant to our evolution.. all the way until we reach today’s ‘junk’ food. Ironically much of this actually has the opposite effect of fruit bio-chemistry on our hormones, causing the unique process to reverse.\nAll of this sounds complex but at its foundation it’s just really basic engineering principles: If you change the design (transcription) and construction materials that a system or technology is built from and fueled by, then the structure and functionality of that system will inevitably change as a result. This logic is obvious when applied to any of our technologies but paradoxically we haven’t applied it to the thing involved in generating our perception, which just happens to be the most complex piece of kit we know. Our perception is directly correlated with and ‘effectively’ a product of the extremely sensitive structure and bio-chemistry of our brain and this has changed out of all recognition in a very short time. (more on this symbiosis)\nMakes sense considering even the slightest alterations in the structure or chemistry of the brain can result in major changes in overall functioning, how we perceive the world, and our sense of self. The powerful effects of taking even a minut dose of a psychedelic being a perfect example of this sensitivity! What happened when we lost this symbiosis?\nEven mild climate change can result in a shrinking of the forest. This would isolate and separate some symbiotic associations more easily than others but a big drying will affect even the most protected non seasonal niches. Eventually we left the forests and were separated from the highly advanced molecular engineering cocktail that we were immersed in for millions of years. The physiological structures most influenced by the symbiosis were the ones most vulnerable to exposure from the re-emerging basic mammalian hormone regime since it was these hormones that prevented their emergence in the first place. The most hormonally sensitive parts of our physiology would be the most affected; such as our reproductive system, immune system and our highly sensitive neural system, especially during its early development in the uterus.\nWhen the symbiosis ended and the archaic steroid regime re-asserts its influence the neocortex stalls and accelerating expansion turns into contraction. The complex neural architecture begins to erode and because the left hemisphere of the brain is more sensitive to steroids this side inevitably erodes at a quicker rate. Some genetic asymmetry and specialization was the primitive norm, and now one side is inevitably reverting back to the primitive type more quickly than the other.\nThe orthodox view suggests each hemisphere has its own specialized capabilities and that the characteristics of the dominant left hemisphere, such as conceptual and rational thought/speech, are some of our most advanced traits. The data indicates that the development of the brain and in particular one side of the neocortex is now incomplete, and paradoxically the most retarded side has assumed control. With a loss of functioning we become less able to experience, understand and know, and with this comes fear. Fear is a powerful emotion that can mask all other mental functions and this played a part in suppressing the more baffling perceptions of the right hemisphere. When we lose any sense fear accompanies this and a growing sense of anxiety and the need for control arose as the left began actively resisting experiences it cannot categorize or understand since they are threatening to its very sense of self.\nThis has severely limited our perception and compromised many abilities. The evidence suggests those abilities as well as a wholly different sense of self lie dormant in the right side of our brain and is only occasionally glimpsed by a tiny minority of people. Unfortunately this also creates a paradox. The dominant side of the brain is assessing itself and so while the concept of specialist abilities appears initially to make some sense on further investigation all is not as it appears and this doesn’t hold up. I have proposed that the abilities and perception facilitated by the left side of our brain are a more primitive and greatly reduced or distorted version of what still remains locked away in the right. Instead of separate senses a unified and highly advanced system that perceives everything all at once without any problems was the norm. These glimpses of synesthesia for example (which some are actually born with) could be a relic of this unified and coherent perceptual capability now well beyond and frightening to the primitive neural architecture of the left hemisphere.\nIt’s interesting then that the myths of a previous golden age and humanities fall into dark times are found all over the world. Even the bible talks about our naked, forest dwelling, fruit eating past. This sort of theme is witnessed among Eskimos, Aborigines, Native Americans, Mayans and dozens of other cultures. Many also talked of a “higher self”. Do you think our ancient ancestors knew what happened? How did they go about addressing the problem? Do we still get glimpses of these right brained states of consciousness today?\nWhen you look at the ancient myths and traditions with all this in mind it becomes blatantly obvious that they all are attempting to describe and address through various techniques essentially the same thing- although both the myths and practices have become inevitably distorted over time from their original purpose as the condition progressed. Of course our tendency today is to dismiss them all as “myths” but in reality they may be more historic account than myth, and this would be expected if the condition was progressive. I’ve proposed that the origin of these ancient practices, such as shamanism, meditation, sleep deprivation, etc, were borne out of techniques to reduce the influence of the degrading left hemisphere and/or engage the abilities of the increasingly suppressed right hemisphere. If fruit was all that was needed to turn around the negative hormonal feedback loop that developed, our ancestors would have figured this out a long time ago. These practices would make a lot of sense if the general condition exists.\nMost of us today don’t escape the confines of the dominant left hemisphere except in dreams and perhaps subconscious glimpses during meditation or similar practices. More direct experiences are possible through supplementing with neuro-chemical analogues found in various psychedelic plants for example but a combination of approaches works best. Many such as prodigies, savants, etc, all display abilities characteristic of more access to the right hemisphere. Although if you were to take all of these abilities and put them together with once in a lifetime athletic feats, and shamanic states of consciousness it may still be only a glimpse of a state of being that our distant ancestors considered “normal”. While there has been a catastrophic loss the idea that we all have a fundamental problem with our neural functioning that is entirely treatable is immensely hopeful given our current situation.\nFood for thought\nThere appears to be a mountain of evidence supporting Tony’s theory. For starters, we are learning more and more about the beneficial properties of fruit bio-chemistry all the time. One tomato for example contains 10,000 different phytochemicals that we currently know about. Many of these chemicals are transcription factors influencing the way the DNA is read and thereby influencing the structures that develop. Is it any wonder then that this can affect brain size? That our brains are shrinking? That poor construction materials can possibly lead to brain damage? Or that what a mother consumes can have a life long impact on the child after birth? For millions of years this unimaginably complex formula was directly influencing what structures develop at the most sensitive stages of growth.\nAs the symbiotic relationship evolved the mammalian developmental environment was slowly infused with ever greater concentrations and complexity of plant hormones. This had a progressive impact on the way the DNA was read in turn resulted in novel structure and function.\nEven if the neo-cortex could be built to the same structural specifications, the major part of its essential neuro-active operating environment was also provided by the chemical cocktail in fruit. There currently is no other coherent and contextual explanation for the accelerating expansion of the brain which suddenly halted and began contracting around the time we left the African forests.\nIn more recent times, the catastrophic loss of essential design specifications (transcription chemicals) and chronic neuro-chemical deficiency has been exacerbated by the use of increasingly poor quality construction materials.\nKatherine Milton’s findings suggest that we have lost around 95% of the complex plant bio-chemistry and nutrients that were present during our evolution for tens of millions of years. When considered within the context of the design, development and function of most complex and chemically sensitive thing we know, these factors in combination can only result in a massive failure.\nThe chemistry of patriarchy\nIt sounds unlikely that our left hemisphere is a dominant yet damaged version of the right, however there is evidence from various fields to support such a seemingly wild notion. Simon Baren-Cohen has discovered evidence that the left hemisphere is more susceptible to testosterone damage and that higher levels of testosterone in the womb are linked to a lower level of empathy and less social skills. His theory is that autism is an extreme form of the male brain; the male brain being ordinarily less empathic than female brains in the first place. Estradiol is made from testosterone by the enzyme aromatase and plays an important part in the “masculinisation” of the brain, or in this case, the damage to the left hemisphere. So the degree of masculinisation is determined by the amount of testosterone available and the degree of aromatase activity.\nThe book elaborates: “As we have already seen (see Chapter Three for the link with oestrogen dependent cancer), the activity of aromatase is inhibited by plant flavonoids and, more importantly, by melatonin. Less melatonin leads to more aromatase activity, which in turn leads to increased masculisation of the brain and, at the extreme end of the spectrum, autism (which appears to be becoming much more common). Our ancestral fruit-based diet would have been rich in aromatase inhibiting factors – and in the past our pineals would have pumped more melatonin too. The degree of masculisation of the male brain we see today, therefore, may well be an aberration that has had huge consequences for us.”\nMales therefore appear to be the most damaged. Where this manifests in a greater degree of left-brain dominance it can be a disaster, as is evidenced by the abundance of fear and control in our male dominated society. Perhaps it is no surprise then that we live in such a patriarchal society where it’s the old men, chronically deficient in plant chemistry and suffering from years of testosterone driven over-masculinisation, who send the young to war and are currently running our society into the ground through they’re greed and lack of empathic understanding.\nCould it just be a coincidence that we see competitive and aggressive behavior all over the place and the biological data seems to predict this sort of behavior in the first place? To make matters worse much of the food we now consume contains the very same hormones that would have been inhibited, along with others that have many detrimental effects.\nIf humanity were a single patient displaying the range of behavior we are collectively capable of and turned up at the neurology/psychology department of a prestigious hospital, what would they think of our mild to severe tendency for self harm and suicide? Or our oblivious destruction of the very environment that sustains us?\nTreating the hundreds of apparently ‘distinct’ behavioral, psychological and perceptual symptoms without at least checking for a general/structural cause would be grounds for serious negligence and a raft of law suits even if there were no smoking gun regarding evidence/mechanisms for a developmental/structural cause? In our case the evolutionary data and biological mechanisms are equivalent to fairly complete cctv footage of a serious accident, and the myths and spiritual traditions of many disparate cultures are eye witness accounts which include, once the dogma is stripped away, methods to treat the condition. Shamanism, psychedelic plants, yoga, meditation, fasting and sleep deprivation are just some examples of these techniques aimed at regaining some of this lost perception.\nPsychedelics and Other Clues\nPsychedelics like ayahuasca seem to be a powerful means of re-accessing these lost perceptual abilities (any wonder our left brained society has made these things illegal?). It’s been said that shamans for example who work with it enough can eventually bring in an altered state of consciousness willingly, without even drinking the brew. The beta-carbolines in ayahuasca alone are powerful MAO inhibitors with psychoactive properties by themselves (along with many other beneficial effects). We’re chronically deficient in not only a complex cocktail of plant MAO inhibitors but also the ones that our pineal glands would have produced in much higher amounts as well, given that flavonoids stimulate this gland. Pinoline is just one example.\nMany other psychedelics can undoubtedly help as a partial treatment. Tony’s mention of synesthesia being a relic of this advanced perception makes sense in light of E.A. Serafetinides research. Serafetinides administered LSD to those who had undergone either left or right temporal lobe removal. He found the perceptual affects were virtually non-existent after right but not left temporal lobe removal– further supporting the idea that the left hemisphere is no longer capable of making use of such profound activity and that this is another psychedelic catalyzing access to the latent functions of the more sensitive right hemisphere.\nOther research by Dr. Allan Snyder has found that by decreasing the dominance of the left hemisphere with magnetic fields the enhanced perceptual abilities of the right can be partially accessed. These include increased visual memory, drawing skills, and other abilities. He cites cases were autistic savants have damage to parts of the left hemisphere and how this results in a decreased ability to suppress the less filtered perceptions of the right hemisphere.\nJust one example of this is Steven Wiltshire, who has astonishing artistic abilities coupled with a photographic memory. Oddly, he cannot add or subtract! His left hemisphere lost its linear processing but this decreased its dominance, opening the door to the rights more advanced abilities. There are many others like Wiltshire with similar stories.\nResearch into Alzheimer’s also supports the idea that we are chronically deficient in the chemicals abundant in a fruit, and that this is just a further symptom. Recently it’s made headlines that hundreds of dementia patients could be helped by a “drug breakthrough”. Dementia seems to be partially halted and reversed by drugs with the same sort of activity we see among these fruit chemicals (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22087826). A quick search on google reveals many fruit chemicals with the same exact properties. If this is the case then when we were flooded by an incredibly rich cocktail of flavonoids way beyond current research parameters then, relatively speaking, our reference points for dementia are invalid.\nInsanity and Hope\nIf there was any indication at all that we had profound abilities locked within us then we should immediately look into this. Especially since it is precisely these sorts of enhancements in perception that are necessary if we are going to get ourselves out of the mess we’ve stumbled into.\nAs Einstein said- “ The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.”\nIf there were any evidence at all for widespread neural retardation would it not be a near certain candidate for the root problem behind our collective insanity and inability to live harmoniously with each other and our environment? If there is a structural problem with our neural architecture then this provides an absolutely amazing opportunity for a species scale ‘fix’ to our current state of literal insanity, and offers immense hope for our dire situation here on earth.\nEven if there was only the slightest indication that this was the case then we should at least check to be sure. Not rigorously checking into such a profound possibility would actually be a symptom, and it should be very easy to dismiss based on scientific methodology.\nThe current reaction to this research is split, but the initial support leans heavily towards the more creative, innovative and intelligent spectrum of society who have been willing to scrutinize with an open mind. Even still, such broad initial support is a conundrum for such a radical new idea. Although the book is not well known as of yet, the Transpersonal Association of Estonia has selected it for translation. Meanwhile it’s being dismissed- often before even evaluating the evidence-by those who cite current or familiar paradigms..exactly as predicted if the condition is real.\nThe consensus among many striving to better our world is that we are collectively engaged in a tightrope act between disaster and a massive shift in collective awareness. Our ignorance is jeopardizing the continuation of not only our own species but countless others and the planet as a whole. We have the physical means to turn things around but it is a crisis of consciousness; and thus our own minds that stand in our way. We are glued into our conditioned behaviors and ways of viewing the world.\nWithout a fundamental change in the way we relate to ourselves, the earth, and our place in the cosmos, we will only see more of the same. History repeats itself and, as we have seen time and time again, attempts to fix any of the individual problems (symptoms) that arise from a deranged collective mind are doomed to fail in the long run unless the damaged equipment generating all these problems is addressed.\nMajor shifts in perception can be accomplished relatively quickly by combining various techniques. It’s straight forward: replace this plant bio- chemistry for the long term and diminish the influence of the left hemisphere while simultaneously engaging the right hemisphere. The trend is very consistent from those who’ve dabbled. The more one explores the more mind blowing and self-evident it becomes. Ultimately it comes down to a choice.\nLook at the evidence, experiment and decide for yourself.\nThis only a glimpse at some of the supporting data. For more information see\nNew book project\nTerence McKenna ~\n“You must cut through the aura of programming and cultural assumptions that surround us from the moment we are able to speak. The only way this can be done is by dissolving the boundaries of ego. Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable…\n..The goal can now be stated. What this is all about is a return to archaism with the lessons learned in history. Thats where we were happy. The fall was a fall..Into a veil of tears..Into a world of limitation, pain, suffering, infectious disease and so forth and so on. It’s a prodigal journey into a lower dimension that can now be ended by a collective cultural decision to commit to this Taoist shamanistic feminized cybernetic caring aware present kind of being.”\nLatest posts by Trevor Smith (see all)\n- The Benefits of Living Foods - Dec 14, 2013\n- Rupert Sheldrake: Are Psychic Phenomena Illusory? - Jun 29, 2013\n- Transcending the Medical Frontiers: Exploring the Future of Psychedelic Drug Research - Jun 18, 2013", "char_count": 25401, "token_count": 6350, "k_exact": 3.7883, "k_integer": 4, "k_label": "Complex", "ciq_score": 0.7998, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Mark it down. Recall it to your grandchildren one day. The week ending Friday 8th January 2016 is when “PC” in Australia sent us all around the twist. As a nation we are a mad house. We’re officially Bonkers!\nIt is entirely possible after considering this post that you, the reader, add Koneko to the list of those who “don’t get it”. The Don’t Get It List is where everyone who doesn’t agree with a yet-to-be officially ratified, Political Correctness School of Philosophy, is banished for speaking out against politically correct philosophical pronouncements (PCPee-Pee).\nNote: At the time of writing nobody can confirm whether an offence has been committed by the use of the term “pee-pee”.\nWhat IS extremely certain is that having a “pee-pee” is problematic nowadays! So what did happen this week that sent us off the PC equivalent of the Richter Scale?\nThe first mistake made was a seemingly innocuous one. We watched cricket on a summers eve (what were we thinking in retrospect? Bad move!) On a day where our forefathers would have packed a Test cricket venue, NOBODY attended a Test Match. EVERBODY, however, tuned in to the Big Bash. The Big Bash is where cricket mad Aussies, instead of hating the Paki’s or the fucking pommie bastards all dressed in white, get to cheer on teams dressed in bright colours. Sri Lankans, South Africans, English, West-Indians, Aussies & others play side-by-side in an atmosphere of camaraderie and high spirits. Personalities we once hated with a passion … such as KP & Freddie Flintoff … now boom into our lounge rooms as comics, entertainers and genuine great blokes (not sure if I can say bloke either?)\nResponsibility for the second mistake falls squarely on the shoulders of the Hobart Hurricanes bowlers. Why-oh-Why did they bowl 14 hapless deliveries that allowed Chris Gayle to plunder 41 runs? THAT interview would never have taken place. Without their misguided contribution we might still be teetering on the edge of sanity. But it happened. Squire Gayle entertained us like Zorro wielding willow and then proceeded to plunge mankind (used deliberately) into a new gender-based Ice Age. If you have just been released from a mental institution and don’t know what I am talking about click here.\nIn summary, the crime was to flirt on television. His punishment = $10k fine. OUR punishment = not getting to see him Down Under ever again? All on top of the pain & suffering we are experiencing as a result of the pandemic known as PC.\nLet me state right now, before I exercise my right of free speech, that I support equality, and I deplore discrimination and domestic violence.\nPlayful flirting and practical joking is NONE of these things. Do not trot out the “but this is her workplace” claptrap. Do you know how many people find their spouse or partner through “the workplace”? And do we really think that this would be the same story if Meg Lanning had propositioned a male reporter during a WBBL mid-match interview? Indeed footage materialised of a female news reporter “chatting up” a bare chested male beach goer. This was deemed fair television. Equality?\nIf the fight is for equality, where is that elusive beast in all of the hoo-ha we are now being subjected to? And where does “freedom of expression” stand? Is it dead? A patron (he was a MAN) was ejected from the MCG at a subsequent BBL game for holding up a banner that read, “#standbyGayle”. In the very same ground a patron was NOT ejected (she was a WOMAN) for holding up a sign saying, “Marry me Marcus Stoinos”. Fancy harassing poor sweet Marcus in his place of work like that? Shame!\nBut it doesn’t end there. No it is only the beginning of the week that was.\nEnter Peter Dutton MP. Most of us will admit to having “drunk text” at some stage and got it horribly wrong. Mr Dutton needs no such lubrication. The technology “Gaff-father” can do it sober as a judge and cock it up monumentally. Not only did he use the incredibly offensive description “mad fucking witch”, he inadvertently text “mad fucking witch” TO the mad fucking witch, which opened up the damned broom closet on a whole new front.\nLet me share the following with you as Exhibit A for PC out of control. The Sydney Morning Herald (referenced below) contained an article entitled, “Witching hour at Peter Dutton’s office as protestors call for sacking over text”. Let me quote …\n“The term ‘witch’ is generally thought of as a gendered insult when used by men to describe women. Feminist author and commentator Jane Caro told Faifax Media: By saying mad fucking witch you are actually painting a picture of something that is very different from “mad fucking idiot”, which would have been fine because it is an equal opportunity insult”\nAn EQUAL OPPORTUNITY INSULT … WTF? Leslie Nielsen (yep Leslie can be a boys name) could respond best. Surely you aren’t serious? I am serious and don’t call me Shirley!\nI can’t speak for you but I do not want to participate in a society that even contemplates an “equal opportunity insult”, let alone one that actually has a name for it! The article goes on to recommend Mr Dutton be sacked … and replaced by a woman (one proficient in the use of mobile technology I presume?).\nIn a parallel Universe, a politician (call him Mr Button) accidentally sent a text (meant for a parliamentary colleague) to a male journalist calling him a “mad fucking warlock”. And, curiously, NOBODY jumped to the journo’s aid by trotting out an “equal opportunity insult” defense. How would it even go? Ahh Mr Button you shouldn’t refer to Barnaby Joyce as a warlock it would be more appropriate and non-gender-offensive to call him a mad fucking idiot?\nMeanwhile, back in our universe, the following occurred:\n- A father drove himself and his 2 young sons off a wharf in SA in a murder-suicide. Details about WHY have been suppressed by the media to protect the public ???;\n- A passenger on a domestic flight in WA groped cabin crew. It was never reported in the media and went unpunished ???;\n- A man committed domestic violence against his wife … and the wife’s mother encouraged her to go back to him ???;\n- A young man dies in an early morning one-punch attack in a Brisbane nightclub precinct;\n- George Pell continues to avoid the Royal Commission into child abuse in the church due to “ill health” but is fit to be in his workplace managing the Catholic Churches finances at the Vatican (talk about a discriminating workplace);\n- AFL player Dustin Martin remains “unpunished” after his accuser WAS prepared to do a TV interview (dentist style and for her employers network) but WASN’T prepared to undertake a formal police interview;\n- Donald Trump offends or discriminates against a new group every day … and continues to be a presidential candidate. [edit as at 20/1/17 he is now POTUS …]\nViolence is violence. Discrimination is discrimination. Abuse is abuse. If you threaten ANYONE with violence THAT is the issue. Not gender. According to the media a woman in a restaurant is a WOMAN but a man is a PATRON or a DINER. What would newspaper articles look like if gender was not allowed to be disclosed? “A patron in a bar alleges that they were threatened by another patron with chopsticks”, reads very differently from “Drunk AFL star threatens woman with a weapon”\nHere is the Ko-down … and it is an incredibly important one. Feminists, activists, PC devotees take note.\nIf you try to push the barrows of equal opportunity and respect for women through the media using controversial sensationalism, then the men who most need educating will shutdown and an opportunity will be lost…\nDo not underestimate the potential for those with a pee-pee to throw the baby out with the bath water. If you want to make a real sustainable difference then keep the message simple, pure, fair and easy to understand … and don’t target sports people.\nThe week where Aussies lost the plot completely just happened to coincide with the first anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo shootings … Liberté, égalité, fraternité", "char_count": 8013, "token_count": 2003, "k_exact": 2.6832, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.8846, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

One hundred years on, the Leopold Museum is dedicating a comprehensive exhibition to the fate of Austrian artists who were active between 1914 and 1918.\nThe war experiences of Egon Schiele, Albin Egger-Lienz and Anton Kolig provide the starting point for the exhibition. »I am a soldier now and have just lived through the hardest 14 days of my life« Schiele wrote in 1915. During his military service he painted Russian prisoners of war as well as his superiors. Anton Kolig reported from the war zone in 1916: »I am painting in great distress«. Albin Egger-Lienz, meanwhile, pondered the »unyielding stride of eternal fate« on the Italian frontline. While war painters depicted the horrors of war, large-scale art exhibitions were organized in Austria and in neutral countries abroad. Even at the height of the war, Kolo Moser painted works of intense coloring. At the same time, Gustav Klimt worked on his female portraits, allegories and late Attersee landscapes. When Klimt died in February 1918, Schiele drew the artist on his deathbed. In October of the same year he captured his fatally ill wife Edith. Both succumbed that same month – shortly before the end of the war – to the Spanish Flu.\nSelected works by contemporary artists from Italy, Romania, Russia and Serbia – the countries that Austria-Hungary fought on the frontlines during World War I – create a connection to the present.

-{"text": "Greetings gamers and gamers to be! I am Kaber Duhn, your DM, and guide through the world of fantasy role playing. For seventeen years now, I have been both a role player and a dungeon master, and yet, the excitement of it all never ceases to amaze me. Follow me while I take you upon a journey, a journey into the imagination. Remember to grab your backpack, pencils, paper and dice for who knows when we will be able to stop for supplies. Come, come, time is awasting.\nADnD, or Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, is among one of the most popular Table-Top RPG or Role-Playing Games today. Most of you are familiar with the term RPG but for those who are not, RPG is defined as:\nMost RPGs today are found in video game titles played on PC, Playstation or other similar game systems. In these games the GM, or Game Master, is played by the computer and the player becomes the main character or characters in a preprogrammed story line.\nTable-Top gaming is quite different, as you are interacting with real people, not computer or video game generated ones. Here the GM or DM, Dungeon Master, creates a story line, a plot that other players interact within. The whole thing is done with paper and pencil, a lot of imagination and the rolling of dice to simulate random events. While there are a variety of different types of Role Playing Games we will focus on one aspect, the fantasy RPG, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.\nDungeons and Dragons Creator Gary Gygax was born on July 27, 1938 in Chicago, Illinois. The son of German immigrants, he began playing games at the age five, starting with card games and then chess. First taught to play by his mother, his discovery of fantasy and science fiction through the works of pulp author, such as Jack Vance and Robert E. Howard, would ignite in him twin obsessions that have defined his life from that point onward -- fantasy and gaming. Those loves would eventually combine in the creation of Dungeons & Dragons, the father of role-playing games.\nGygax and Don Kaye, later joined by Blume and Arneson, formed their own company in 1973 which they named Tactical Studies Rules, after a local gaming club called the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association. This company was formed to market the \"fantasy war game to be played with paper and pencil\" that they renamed Dungeons & Dragons (after a suggestion by Gygax's wife, Mary).\nThe game first appeared at the 1973 EasterCon, had a limited availability throughout 1973, and the first print run of 1,000 copies was officially released (in a white box) in January of 1974. It sold out within the year. The game consisted of three booklets: Men and Magic, Monsters and Treasure, and Wilderness & Dungeon Adventures. It was also recommended that owners get a copy of Chainmail as well as the Avalon Hill game, Outdoor Survival.\nThere were three classes: Fighting Man, Magic-User, and Cleric. The terms were intentionally vague and much research was done to prevent putting anything into the game that actually resembled real-world magic systems. The authors eventually decided to base the game's magic system on the fantasy writings of Jack Vance. There were also four different races: human, dwarf, hobbit, and elf. Objections and legal complaints from the Tolkien estate caused the \"hobbit\" race to be changed to the \"halfling\" race later.\nWhen the game started getting somewhat popular after the first year or so, they decided to publish some of the details of their own campaigns along with some expansion rules for the game. This product was the original Greyhawk . It introduced the Thief character class and had notes on magic, monsters, and more. Then they published Blackmoor, which introduced the Monk and Assassin classes and included the very first module: Temple of the Frog. Then came Eldritch Wizardry, which introduced the Druid class and psionics. The last book of this series was Gods, Demigods, and Heroes, which listed several pantheons for use with the game.\nIn 1975, Arneson and Gygax parted ways, and Don Kaye had a fatal heart attack. Kaye's wife decided, along with Gygax and Blume, to break up the company. Gygax and Blume went on to create TSR Hobbies, Inc. later that year.\nAt this point, the game was comprised of many rules spread throughout numerous books, supplements, and magazines. In addition, Gygax had amassed a pile of campaign notes and new rules that he wished to add to the game. It was decided that a new edition of the game should be released, but instead of calling it a second edition and discontinuing the first, TSR launched Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. This expanded and updated version commenced with the release of the Monster Manual in 1977. It was followed in 1978 by the Player's Handbook and in 1979 by the Dungeon Master's Guide. In 1997, Wizards of the Coast, Inc., publishers of the wildly popular Magic: The Gathering? trading card game, acquired TSR. In 2000, Wizards of the Coast published the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons, the wholly reworked successor to 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Basic Dungeons and Dragons.\nAs you can see, ADnD has quite a history. You can find a complete Time Line in the history of ADnD at DnD Archives\nNow you know a little about ADnD. But what is it really like? How do you play? The answer is right here. While this is not by far, a step by step process it should give you an idea. The game uses a system of Dice of various numbers. A 20 sided dice, or d20, a 12 sided dice, d12, a d10, d8, d6, and a d4. The original DnD only had 6 dice. These dice sets can be picked up at your local game store either individually or together and they vary in prices depending on the type and material of the die. It can be just as much fun collecting the various die as playing the game.\nOh, ok so you have paper, you have a pen or pencil and you went out and got some dice......now what? Well, there are several methods to writing up a character, but they all have the same things in common: a character name, a class and a race. The class represents a characters profession, so to speak. Be they fighters, wizards, thieves, clerics, bards or specialty classes such as Ranger, which is a subclass of the fighter.\nWhile there are several races to choose from the game is biased. Humans are the center of the universe or at least, they have the ability to reach farther than most other races. Still, each race has their oun advantages. Elves are immune to some spells and can see in the dark. Halflings are harder to hit and can be very quiet. Dwarves are tougher and stronger than most races. Half breeds combine some of the abilities of one race with another, though the abilities are diluted. Usually dice are rolled to figure out Ability Scores. These are the numbers that show how strong, or fast, or smart your character is. They often appear in an abbreviated form such as STR for Strength, or DEX for Dexterity. There are six abilities. Strength. Dexterity. Constitution. Intelligence. Wisdom and Charisma. All these things thus far, combined, shape a characters personality and abilities. It is now up to the player, and the DM, to breathe life into the character through role play.\nView Character Description Examples\nBeing a Dungeon Master or DM can be very rewarding, but it also comes with a certain amount of responsibility. You, the DM, must not only keep track of the story you tell (the places and events that happen, the Non-Player Characters, or NPC?s, and how they effect the story) but you must also keep track of how your players play. You must keep in balance a story that is exciting, humorous and challenging while making sure your players do not get too powerful or are kept too weak. Also, while this is a game, and only a game, some people become so enraptured by the fantasy world that they take it with them when they leave the table. You must be certain that you do not encourage activities that are game related to be taken outside of the the game. And still, to be a good DM you must study the real world to learn how things should interact in the game world.\nMagic is a prevalent factor in ADnD, but it in no way reflects how magic works in the real world. And it shouldn?t. As in ADnD, there are people with different world views. Some believe in a god or multiple gods or no god at all, but if you or someone you know worships a deity in the real world, even if it is represented in the ADnD books, you should know that beyond the name, the similarities should end. ADnD IS A FANTASY GAME, NOT REALITY. While it may portray things that happen in the real world, you, as the DM, must be certain that the players understand it is only fantasy. Only a game. With that in mind, it should be noted that there are many different styles of play. 'Hack and Slash' or Role playing are the two main styles. If you find a good combination of both then you will do well, but many still prefer to dungeon crawl and 'hack and slash' then Role Playing or RPing. Practice makes perfect and soon you will know what your players prefer. There are many pre-published adventures available for various levels. As all characters should start at level 1 you will have plenty of time to learn as they grow.\nI present to you here, two examples of the games I DM. Simply follow the links to HACK AND SLASH or my CORE GROUP. If you would like more information on ADnD, how to play or where to get supplies, visit Wizards of the Coast Here you can also find information about MAGIC: The Gathering which I also happen to enjoy, but that is for another day and another page.", "char_count": 9564, "token_count": 2391, "k_exact": 2.493, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8809, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The short answer to the first question is \"not very many,\" and to the second question, \"all of them.\"\nIn a 90-nm tapeout discussion in a recent E-Mail Synopsys Users Group mailing, consultant Kahoo Goyal Edson said she believes there have been around 160 of the 90-nm designs to date, of which about half have taped out. Of these 80 or so tapeouts, she speculated, 30 to 40 have been done in a Cadence flow, 30 to 40 in a Synopsys flow and fewer than 10 in a Magma flow. But, she noted, the real story is hard to find.\nBryan Lewis, semiconductor analyst at Gartner Dataquest, said he was able to find fewer than fifty 90-nm tapeouts last year and expects about 275 this year. He said Edson's guesstimate of 160 designs to date is \"in the ballpark.\"\nBut which EDA vendors? Gary Smith, chief EDA analyst at Gartner Dataquest, said the most popular 90-nm flow appears to include Cadence Design Systems' First Encounter floor planner and CeltIC signal-integrity tool, with Magma Design Automation doing block-level design and Synopsys' Galaxy platform handling the remainder.\nRepresentatives of Synopsys and Cadence agreed that Edson's estimate of 160 designs and 80 tapeouts sounds about right. Synopsys claims that all of these 90-nm designs used Synopsys tools for synthesis, extraction and timing analysis, and half used Synopsys for place and route, with Cadence and Magma dividing the other half.\nCadence claims that about forty 90-nm tapeouts have used Cadence's netlist-to-GDSII flow, and at least a few have used Cadence synthesis. Magma claims to have been involved in at least twenty 90-nm tapeouts, and not just for block-level design.\nThe real story is that big EDA customers shop around. Takashi Yoshimori, technology executive at Toshiba, said his company has done more than ten 90-nm tapeouts to date. He noted that Toshiba's 90-nm flow may include the use of Synopsys' Apollo or Astro, Cadence's SoC Encounter or Magma's Blast Fusion, depending on the project.\nWatch now for Cadence, Synopsys and Magma to each put out press releases stating that Toshiba has \"standardized\" on its implementation flow for 90-nm designs.\nRichard Goering is managing editor of Design Automation for EE Times.", "char_count": 2462, "token_count": 615, "k_exact": 1.9859, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7835, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "TEL AVIV (Feb. 27)\nThe sound of lilting music grows louder as the camera zooms in on a face in shadow. In the corner of the television screen the person’s statistics are flashed: age 25, lawyer, represents Israel abroad. A light is then cast onto the face, revealing a young Ethiopian Israeli woman wearing a business suit. In accentless Hebrew she says with a hint of defiance: “You did not expect to see me, did you? There are many others like me.”\nThe same format is used to highlight other Ethiopian Israelis, including a soccer star, a deputy battalion commander in the army and one who recently earned a doctorate.\nThe ad is part of a campaign launched by the Israeli Ministry of Immigration Absorption and the Jewish Agency for Israel to boost the image of the country’s 100,000 Ethiopians. In the eyes of many Israelis, Ethiopian immigration to Israel has been a failure. Most encounter Ethiopians through the media, where they are depicted as unemployed, poor and plagued by family violence. The younger generation is seen as adrift and drawn increasingly to a life of crime.\nThe campaign aims to show the Israeli public young Ethiopians who have found success such as Maj. Shlomi Vicha, 27, a company commander in the Israeli army. In charge of three combat platoons, Vicha said he feels it is now his time to give back to the country that took him in as a young child who immigrated without his parents — and housed and educated him and his siblings.\n“I have no doubt that the army is the best place for having an equal chance for success just like everyone else,” Vicha added. “Everyone is equal here and whoever wants to succeed will succeed.”\nHe has spent time speaking to Ethiopian youth. “I do what I can to contribute and explain to them about the army and how they can contribute,” he said. “It’s important that there are success stories so the public at large will see the other side and also so there can be models for the schoolchildren so they know that they too can succeed and go forward.”\nThe statistics, however, are discouraging. Research conducted by the Israel Association for Ethiopian Jews has found that among those who are employed, the majority work in blue-collar jobs and live below the poverty line, Ethiopian students drop out of high school at twice the rate of the general population and juvenile crime is rampant.\nThe aggressive advertising campaign, being promoted on television, radio, the Internet and in newspapers, is aimed at casting a positive light on the community by focusing on its success stories. It also marks the arrival of the first major arrival of Ethiopian Jews to Israel 30 years ago.\n“We’ve decided we need to make an overture to the public, to include the public in their absorption,” said Jewish Agency spokesman Yarden Vatikay. He said that he hopes the campaign, entitled, “Thirty Years Since the Aliyah from Ethiopia — Success Depends on Us” will boost awareness about the community and draft Israeli volunteers to help integrate Ethiopians more completely into Israeli society.\nIntegration has been the major stumbling block for the community. The majority arrived penniless, unable to speak Hebrew — and complete foreigners not only to Israeli culture but to the modern, Western world. Most had been raised in an agricultural, subsistence economy and were not all prepared for life in Israel.\nUnlike their highly educated Russian immigrant counterparts, the Ethiopians have struggled to integrate into competitive and aggressive spirit of Israeli culture and many are now dependent on government assistance.\nA phone number is provided in the ads for a hotline that gives information on how Israelis can either “adopt” an Ethiopian family — sharing meals and holidays with them — tutor students or give an internship to a young Ethiopian.\nDaniel Yosef, a 35-year-old architect, is among those in his generation of young Ethiopians who have found professional success. His siblings have as well: among them is a musician, a graphic artist and a fashion designer.\nYosef said he hopes the campaign accomplishes its goal of showing “the other side, the side of success within the community.” But he added that it what is most important to him is not to boost awareness among today’s Ethiopian youth that success is within reach.\n“The campaign is one that has to be within our own society so we can raise our own self-image,” he said. “we need to provide a good example to the youth.”\nEmployment remains a problem. Only some 76 percent of the community is employed, compared with almost 90 percent of the general workforce. Meanwhile, thousands of Ethiopian Israelis who have graduated from college often cannot find work in their fields. Many Ethiopians with law degrees, for example, can be found working in communal organizations or even as security guards instead of in law firms. Only some 15 percent of those with law degrees actually work in law firms, according to Jewish Agency statistics.\nAn estimated 60 percent of Ethiopian Israelis who have academic degrees end up taking working class jobs when they cannot find work in their professions, research has found.\n“The campaign is not the solution to the problem, but part of the process. We want people to ask themselves whether they display racism, and whether they give equal opportunity to people at job interviews, or are they influenced by stereotypes,” said Immigration Absorption Minister Tzipi Livni told the Israeli daily Yediot Achronot.\nDespite the initial jubilation in the country during the airlifts of Operation Moses in 1984-85 and Operation Solomon in 1991, racism and discrimination persist. In September, an Israeli mayor tried to bar Ethiopian students from attending an elementary school in his town.\nAvraham Neguise, an Ethiopian rights activist running for Knesset in a new party aimed at Ethiopian voters, said the ad campaign should show not only the success stories, but also the challenges that face the community.\n“It seems like this is taking a few individuals who really did good work and succeeded which is good. However it looks like it is hiding the real problems,” he said.\nVicha, the army major, thinks the situation for Ethiopians will improve when the younger Ethiopians feel less stuck between cultures and embrace what is good in both Israeli society and their heritage.\n“We need to take from both,” Vicha said.", "char_count": 6373, "token_count": 1593, "k_exact": 2.8904, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9455, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "I always knew I had a bunch of remarkable friends but it was only until we got arrested that I realised the extent to which my cronies dabbled on the borderline of crazy.\nMine is a colourful group – ranging from lawyers, chefs, accountants, beauty therapists, musicians and everything else in between. We have laughed together, cried together, been grounded together, and travelled together. The parentals finally realised that this chosen family could not be separated. And they tried to break up the friendships numerous times over the course of the years until they realised they were only creating difficult tasks for themselves and we were content with our friendship.\nIt all started on a lazy Saturday. Taurai suggested we go and have a braai somewhere. Or did it all start when we found the money? I did mention, ours was an incredible bunch! How we found it is a story for another day.\nAs we were driving to one of our favourite spots after purchasing copious amounts of meat and alcohol, I suggested we have the braai at one of the mansions on the way to our spot. “It’s rich folk houses so they are always empty! How many times have we used this route and we have never come across anybody! How many cars have you heard starting in this area? We need to live a little!”\nThat was all it took. Initially, it was supposed to be a joke but the crew was never one to say no to a challenge and that is how we found ourselves breaking and entering.\nWe picked a house at random and the sight that greeted our eyes as we finally made it through the hedges was breathtaking. Yes, we went through the hedge! The house was enormous. It was made of red brick that seemed to be glaring at us and challenging us to try something, anything! It had huge windows which we watched for a few minutes and convinced ourselves, had someone been home, we would have seen some movement by now.\n“I see this in the movies all the time,” said Frank breaking the silence. He used all his strength to shift a pot plant that was close to the door. “The key will be underneath here!” he declared boldly.\nAlas he found nothing! The entire group burst out laughing! “It’s ok Frank, we don’t need to get into the house anyway. Let’s go round the back and check out the setting there” muttered Sabelo.\nWe all trooped to the rear of the house. The view was astonishing. Big towering trees, well manicured lawns and a fountain set the scene. And there set in a shady corner of the garden close to the pool was the grill station. It was set up with expensive looking equipment and a fully stocked bar. We had hit the jackpot!\nThe boys wasted no time in setting up the fire while the girls got the meat ready. Whatever drinks we hadn’t bought for ourselves, we found at that bar. After a couple of hours, as the drinks started flowing and talk became reckless, Frank feeling like he had to prove a point decided he could get into that house at all costs.\n“It’s not necessary,” the group chastised. Others admonished while others cheered him on. “Go for it buddy. These girls think you are a sissy now. Show them who is in charge.”\nFrank had all the liquid courage he needed and he felt confident. He left the group to go on his mission. As we all suspected defeat, we got back to our transgressions and paid no attention to Frank, determined to enjoy our final moments here.\nThe ear-piercing scream is what reminded us we were on borrowed time. We all turned towards the house and there was Frank. Being dragged by the ear by a man proportionately as humongous as his house.\n“Run for it guys. I’ll be ok,” screamed Frank. We all made a dash for the cars. As trespassers you have to take some precautionary measures as you never know what to expect which is why we had parked our cars outside the gate, a safe distance away from the house. Since we had not waltzed into the yard through the front gate, the thick hedge surrounding the house was our only way out of this madness.\nIt was quite a site.\nWe ran in all directions but the mission was the same and didn’t need to be communicated twice.\nEventually, we made it out, huffing and puffing like old ladies.\nWe drove off to Sihle’s house. Before we had even disembarked the cars, resounding laughter heard ensued. We laughed at ourselves until tears streamed down our faces. And then we faced reality. We had to get Frank back.\nEventually through connections of Sabelo, we found out which police station he had been taken to.\nAs it was my idea I was tasked with going in to bail him out. Everyone else waited a safe distance away from the police station. I got there and played my best damsel in distress dating a silly guy routine and after parting with a considerable amount of cash, I finally got Frank out of the police station.\nAs for Frank, he then explained how it had all gone down. The front door hadn’t been locked. He had just walked in and was so busy admiring the house that by the time he realised he had walked into the bedroom and woken up the owner, it was too late. The owner of the house had dragged him to the police station to report the crime and said there had been a whole herd of us trespassing. Frank had denied and insisted he was alone. The owner had then left Frank with the cops to go and assess the damage back at his property. The cops had strongly reprimanded Frank and threatened to call his parents. We are pretty sure the owner of the house wanted to press charges. But by the time he returned to the station, Frank and the officer who had taken the owner’s statement were nowhere to be seen.

Not only will this help make things better at bedtime, but will help them to sleep better and wake up easier. Switching up your bedtime routine can bring you and your kids a healthier happier relationship and attitude.\nSIMPLIFYING YOUR KIDS BEDTIME ROUTINE\nGet rid of distractions. For at least an hour prior to bedtime, remove distractions like television, toys and video games. Make this a time to get showers, pick out clothes for the next day and snuggle to read a book. Removing distractions will help your child to fall asleep easier.\nCreate a bathroom schedule. For many families, bath time happens in the evenings. If you have several children, you will want to create a schedule of who gets their bath or shower at night, as well as who will each morning. If you skip days with your kids bathing for skin irritation reasons, you can also rotate those days around so there are no longer fights over the bathroom.\nTake the television out of their room. One of the biggest problems with getting kids settled in for a good night sleep comes with the distraction of a television in their bedroom. Not only will they continually ask for just one more show, they can easily get up and turn it back on after you have told them no more.\nInstall darkening curtains or blinds. For kids who have a hard time with the seasonal changes in daylight hours, install some darkening curtains or blinds that will help make their room darker and ease the transition to sleep.\nPick books for bedtime stories ahead of time. Instead of having the hour long choosing of a book at bedtime, have them pick the book out earlier in the day, or simply pick it yourself. Instead of lingering over books and struggling to decide, it is already ready for when you tuck them in.\nCreating a good bedtime routine with your kids is easy when you start simplifying your kids bedtime routine.

Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience.\n|Your Pet's First Wellness Exam|\nYour veterinarian will perform several services essential to the animal's immediate and long-term well being. A typical evaluation will include blood and fecal tests to check for parasites or diseases that might require immediate treatment. Your pet may also be started on medications to prevent pest and parasite infestations. Core vaccinations will also be administered, and spaying or neutering may be recommended for animals more than a few weeks of age. Make sure to schedule this first appointment as soon as possible.\nAdopting a pet brings great joy and excitement to individuals and families, but it also introduces new responsibilities and concerns. Your new family member deserves the same health and safety considerations you would want for the people in your life.\nBefore you even bring your new dog or cat home with you, take steps to \"pet-proof\" your home. Homeowners may need new strategies for dealing with household objects and situations that never posed to a threat to the home's human residents.\nMedicines or household chemicals, for instance, must be put away behind closed and secured doors to prevent the accidental poisoning of curious pets. Even ordinary food items such as citrus fruits, certain nuts, chocolate, garlic, onions, alcoholic drinks and coffee should be kept away from animals, because these products can cause violent illness or other reactions if ingested.\nHide any exposed wires or cables so your new pet won't be tempted to chew on them, or place the cords in PCV pipe, and remove small objects that might pose a hazard if swallowed. Lilies are very toxic to cats, and ingestion of sago palm or oleander can be very serious for dogs.\nA visit to the veterinarian should be among the first stops for your newly-adopted animal. Veterinarians not only provide important initial care to check for existing health problems and guard against new ones, but they can also give you a wealth of advice from home dental care to proper nutrition, especially if you've never owned an animal before. Don't put this visit off; your pet may be vulnerable to serious ailments until vaccinations and other wellness services can be administered.\nIf you already have other pets in your home, you may find that you need to introduce your newest addition to the family with discretion and sensitivity. Dogs tend to assume dominant or submissive pack relationships, so your canines may require time to figure out the new pecking order. (Ideally, you have already assumed the role of \"top dog.\") Cats can be particularly sensitive and stressed when their routine is disrupted by another feline presence. Keep your new cat in an isolated room at first, with his own food bowl and litter box, gradually letting him explore more and more of the home while both cats gets used to each other's smells and company.\nTraining is a great next step for a newly-adopted dog -- not just for housebreaking but also for simple commands such as \"Sit,\" \"Stay\" and \"Down.\" Obedience training helps you enjoy a peaceful, happy, well-socialized pet.\nAmerican Humane Association, \"Pet-Proofing Your Home.\" 2013.\nAmerican Veterinary Medical Association, \"Importance of Wellness Exams.\"\nThe Humane Society of the United States, \"Introducing Your New Cat to Other Pets.\" July 3, 2013.\nNEW ONLINE STORE COMING SOON!\nDr. Kostal is great.

-{"text": "40-year-old outfielder happy to be back for his third incarnation as an Indian\nNever before has a man been cheered like this for lifting a suitcase.\nDozens of fans pressed their faces against the bars of the fence surrounding the players’ parking lot Friday afternoon at Jacobs Field when Kenny Lofton’s car pulled up to the entrance. They hollered Lofton’s name when he opened the trunk. They applauded when he took out a duffel bag. When he lifted a Texas Rangers bat bag and placed it on the ground, they screamed themselves hoarse.\nYes, it’s true. Kenny’s back in town.\n“I missed being in Cleveland,” Lofton said shortly after beginning his third go-round with the Indians. “I’ve always followed the Indians. I’ve always cheered for the Browns, the Cavs ... I’m a Cleveland fan.”\nThe 40-year-old outfielder played for the Indians from 1992-96 and 1998-2001. He began this season with Texas before coming to the Indians in a trade that sent minor-league catcher Max Ramirez to the Rangers.\nFans cheered Lofton while he jogged in the outfield before Friday night’s game against Minnesota. They cheered even more loudly when the scoreboard showed highlights of Lofton’s heyday with the Tribe, including his memorable scaling the center-field wall to rob B.J. Surhoff of a home run in 1996.\nWhen Lofton caught Joe Mauer’s fly ball for the final out of the first inning, fans in the left-field bleachers went crazy, and he showed them a little love by tossing the ball into the stands. When Lofton came up to bat in the bottom half of the inning, the resulting ovation lasted 30 seconds. He removed his batting helmet, lifted it into the air and tipped it toward each section of fans.\nThe six-time All-Star led the American League in stolen bases five consecutive years (1992-96) and ranks 12th on baseball’s all-time list with 620 steals. He has a career .299 batting average and .372 on-base percentage.\nPerhaps the most compelling statistic attached to Lofton, however, is his having appeared in the postseason 10 times in the last 12 years.\n“Our roster isn’t full of postseason experience,” said Indians General Manager Mark Shapiro, who pursued a Lofton trade for about two weeks.\n“He’s been there more than a few times,” Cleveland left-hander C.C. Sabathia said. “He can teach us a few things about how to finish off. Maybe if we had had him in ‘05, we would have made the playoffs.”\nLofton’s experience, and talent, has made him a well-traveled major-leaguer.\n“Sometimes you call guys the wrong name,” Lofton admitted. “I feel bad about that but, man, I’ve been with, like, eight teams in two years. Good thing they’ve got names on the back of the jerseys. I’ll tell them to turn around so I know who they are.”\nThe Indians already have a two-time All-Star center fielder and leadoff hitter in Grady Sizemore, so Lofton will shift to left field and bat second. His only previous experience in left field came during an All-Star game.\n“When the ball’s hit, I’m going to try to get it,” Lofton said. “Of course, it might look a little funny at first.”\nIndians Manager Eric Wedge said the plan is to have Lofton start against most right-handers and Jason Michaels against most left-handers. Michaels and Lofton, oddly enough, were platoon outfielders at Philadelphia in 2005.\nLofton was batting .303 with a .380 on-base percentage at Texas and had stolen 21 bases in 25 attempts.\n“We have a lot more (speed and athleticism) this year because of the people we have, and, with Kenny, we can continue to push that,” Wedge said. “It’s amazing what he’s still able to do.”\nOne thing Lofton is able to do is joke about his age.\n“It’s the new Tribe here,” Lofton said. “But, you have to put a little old with the new. That’s my piece to the puzzle, I guess.”\nRamirez, 22, came to the Indians in the trade that sent closer Bob Wickman to Atlanta last June. He was batting .303 with 12 home runs for Single-A Kinston and played in the Futures Game in San Francisco earlier this month.\nThe Indians will assume the remaining $2.5 million of Lofton’s $6-million salary.\nFans who loved the Indians teams of the 1990s will love the fact that one of the first people Lofton called to tell about the trade was catcher and former teammate Sandy Alomar Jr.\n“Sandy told me congratulations, and he hopes I finally get my championship,” Lofton said.\nReach Canton Repository sports writer Andy Call at (330) 580-8346 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.", "char_count": 4439, "token_count": 1109, "k_exact": 2.2033, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8204, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Born in Dublin in the 1920s, he grew up in what by today’s standards would be regarded as poverty.\nHe was denied educational opportunities, faced many hardships, and never knew his father.\nAt the age of 17 he got on a boat to England, lied about his age and volunteered to fight in the war, joining the RAF.\nLike many of the 10,000 or so Irishmen who decided their country’s neutral stance in the fight against Hitler was at odds with their own sense of right and wrong, he struggled to settle in Ireland after the war.\nAnd so it was he settled in England and embarked on a long career as a manual worker.\nAt the time I was born, he was working in a car factory, liked a drink and the craic, and was still battling with hardship – from workplace racism in the era of IRA terror attacks, to working unsociable shift patterns that kept him permanently exhausted.\nMy earliest memories are of that holiday. Yet it was a never-to-be-repeated event.\nPerhaps it’s better that way.\nAfter working hard to provide for his family, and (much as it pains me to say it) living in a marriage that didn’t always make him or my late mother happy, he retired as a fit and physically robust man looking forward to a long retirement. Which is what he got – around 20 years of it.\nAfter my mother’s death in the late 1990s, he sold the family home and eventually found the love and companionship of a woman who made him truly happy.\nHe had money (although not lots of it), love, and a new large extended step-family network. He took holidays, visited interesting places, rediscovered his faith, did the things that made him happy. Truly happy.\nMy own relationship with him had been strained – practically non-existent in fact – for years.\nThankfully, I saw him not long before he died.\nAfter years of having nothing to do with him, of effectively denying his presence in my life and that of my sons, I felt it was time I took a detour of my own. So in late December I went to see him during one of his increasingly frequent stays in hospital.\nIn many ways he was not a complicated man. Seeing me turn up at his bedside made him delighted – he was overjoyed and seeing that uncomplicated sense of joy moved me.\nWe didn’t make our peace. We didn’t need to. It was unspoken and that was entirely appropriate.\nTwo weeks later, he was gone.\nI didn’t get there in time to say my final goodbye.\nThe journey was too long.

-{"text": "Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal June 1 to make community colleges free to all high school graduates by 2017 raised as many questions as eyebrows.\nGov. Deval Patrick's proposal June 1 to make community colleges free to all high school graduates by 2017 raised as many questions as eyebrows. But more importantly, it served to shine the spotlight on Massachusetts' 15 two-year institutions and the important roles they serve in their communities and the commonwealth.\nThe idea of making community colleges, such as Massachusetts Bay CC, which has campuses in Wellesley Hills, Framingham and Ashland, free to qualified students is not new. In October, higher education officials proposed waiving two years of community college fees and tuition for Massachusetts high school students taking non-remedial and college preparatory courses. Two states - Delaware and New Jersey - offer community college scholarships. Other community colleges in NY offer full scholarships to students in the top 10 percent of their graduating classes.\nBy actually carrying out the plan over the course of the next decade for a free two-year education, Massachusetts would again be setting a national standard for higher education. But as the ideas evolve, policymakers should keep in mind that only one-third of community college students in the state are recent high school graduates. The average age of students at MassBay is 27, reflecting the state average. Nationally, it is 28.\nAnd while community colleges are often seen as the receiving ground for students who don't have the resources to attend a four-year college either academically, financially or both, that is only a small part of the picture.\nCommunity colleges also play a major role in this state's economy, and their students may be the difference between growth and inertia. Jobs are being outsourced almost daily, with positions that could be filled by workers who live and spend locally going to other states or foreign countries if only they received the proper education and/or training.\nThe governor's plan estimates that 20,000 unfilled jobs in the commonwealth require a two-year degree. In the MetroWest area, we are considered a potential growth area for the state, with a significant number of young persons as well as recent immigrants who work hard every day to achieve the American dream.\nAn estimated 220,000 students attend Massachusetts' two-year institutions annually, and more than 90 percent of Massachusetts community college alumni are employed in the state, according to masscc.org. Many students are working adults seeking to advance careers with new skills, who are changing professions or re-entering the workforce. More than 25 percent are ethnic minorities. Ten percent are learning English. Many are the first in their family to go to college, whether they are a recent immigrant or not.\nThe state's 15 community colleges turn out a highly skilled workforce in a short amount of time. When there is a shortage of workers in a certain sector like technology or health care, community colleges are able to create innovative, effective programs to quickly train potential new workers. In a state where one in seven jobs are related to the biotechnology field, MassBay in particular offers a nationally recognized biotech and forensic DNA program. Our goal at MassBay is not only to train people for the workforce so they can earn a living wage, but to also educate the whole individual so they can become lifelong learners as well as civically engaged citizens.\nCurrently, the average cost of community college education in Massachusetts is $3,477, way above the national average of $2,272, and putting even an associate's degree out of reach for some.\nIn many ways, the idea of two years of free college education for anyone who qualifies seems like wishful thinking by a politician seeking some positive headlines. Patrick's proposal, which also includes full-day kindergarten in all Massachusetts districts as well as a longer school day and year, did not include cost estimates or details about from where more money for education might come. That may be something on which politicians and voters will never agree.\nNo one, however, can argue that making a college education available to more people is a bad idea.\nSo whether a free community college education for all high school graduates would take the $180 million estimated by state officials and education advocates or the $25 million to $40 million alternative for some students as suggested by Higher Education Chancellor Patricia Plummer, what we all need to keep in mind is that education at every level - and at any age - is priceless.\nWe now need to work together to find ways that we can implement this progressive dream. Indeed, together we can!\nDr. Carole M.

-{"text": "How did you get to where you are today? Was it meticulously planned out or did it just kinda happen? I’m guessing it was probably the second one, unless you’re Barrack Obama then it’s definitely the first option (he was born with presidential airs and graces I say).\nI have never had a grand plan like you see in the movies. All through my life when people asked me the dreaded “What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?” question I would just palm them off and tell them ”I’m only ten, I don’t know what I want to do yet…’. However 10 soon becomes 13, then 16, then 18 and so on… (I’m not very good at counting it turns out…).\nI still vividly remember when an adult that I looked up to greatly at the time said to me when I was about 19 ”Philip, you really should know what you want to do with your life by now’. This really upset me. I’m a dweller by nature (as all my friends and family will know) and this set the dwell into overload. I’ve always considered myself to be quite mature and super sensible since I was very little, so I felt like I should know what it is I want to do. However it turns out they were a bit of a douchebag and my master plan was actually to be as indecisive as possible until the very last moment (more exciting that way)!\nFor me deciding on what to study at college and ultimately for university felt like a good strong natural opportunity to access where I’m going and to finally force me to decide what I’m doing (oh how you must decide!). Of Course I didn’t, I bottled it and just choose subjects that I was good at and that I enjoyed doing. At college that for me was Physics, Maths and Music. When it came to choosing a degree (I cho cho choose you) I couldn’t decide between the sciency stuff and music. So I fudged it by finding a course that incorporated them both; Electronic Engineering with Music Technology Systems (win win).\nThe only long term-ish plan I ever made was for when I finished uni (it was disastrous). I intended to move home for a bit and find a job in Manchester (so I could be close to my family) working as an engineer in broadcasting, they’d just finished building media city there for the BBC, so it was meant to be right?. Well so began a six month battle to find a job that turned me into the most miserable grouchy git ever. I ended up signing on and then working at a phone store, which I hated (I was bloody good at selling phones though). I had to cast my net a bit further and if I was going to find something I wanted. When I was eventually offered a job I wanted it was in London. In my mind I had no choice but to go for it, I wasn’t waiting another six months!\nI’m happy to say It all turned out for the best cause I have a great job now and I bloody love London. Its like they say, when life gives you lemons, eat them… Then again they’re actually quite sour and eating a lot of them in one sitting is probably not good for you.\nI sometimes think If I’d made a big grand plan I could have avoided all the unhappiness that happened after uni, but then I wouldn’t be where I am now and I can hand on heart say I learnt a lot from those bitter experiences. I should mention that I was lucky enough to have the safety net of having my family around me, so I wasn’t just struggling on my own, it could’ve been a lot worse in that respect.\nOn reflection, as much as I’d like it be, life is not like a book. Its kind of a jumbly wumbly big timey wimey mess. When you’re a kid you think you’re destined to do something amazing (and we still can) buts its not just going happen on it own by magic (I thought there was an outside chance I was the second coming of Jesus and I just didn’t know it yet). Whatever life throws at you, you just have to make what sense of it you can at the time and make the best of it as it all happens. Hindsight is a beautiful thing though and everyone thinks ‘what if?’ from time to time.\nThat’s today’s ramblings done for now.

Okay, granted – there weren’t any acceptable options at the time and your speech writers, definitely, struck a chord but you are proving the adage, “Talk is cheap.”\nI understand budgets and I know that money is allotted to various departments. I understand that if that money is not utilized, the following year, those budgets get cut. This is not license for fiscal irresponsibility. After years of Harper, social spending should have been one of the priorities – NATIONAL social spending. While I support the Clinton Foundation and its numerous good works; the world can wait while your government puts our own house in order.\nThe decision, by the courts, to award Khadr 10 million Canadian tax dollars is beyond absurd. Is this a pay off for information? Is it a pay off for some sort of silence? While his rights were violated; it was not by the Canadian people, yet it is us that are footing this bill, created by the Canadian Human Rights Commission – in this case, a title best described as an oxymoron. If financial compensation was to be awarded; why was it not compensation, in Khadr’s name to Amnesty International or some other global Human Rights organization? An apology on behalf of the government is fine.\nThere are too many victims of human rights abuse in Canada to have a man, who was involved in a war action, to be handed over my money for behaviour directed against the West and as Canada is in the West – against Canadians. He has been granted the privilege of the chance for a new life; that is compensation enough.\nHow many indigenous communities could have been helped with that 10 million dollars? How many veterans who fought for our beliefs could have benefited from this kind of windfall?\nSunny Ways, Mr. Trudeau? No. These are not sunny ways for Canadians. We struggle, daily, to maintain our standards of living and you? You aid in the process of throwing our tax dollars away. Your “sunny ways” are a sham; behind your picture of sun and happy times, the truth will, eventually, rip through. For all Harper’s cold-hearted cuts to social networks, for all his protection of corporate Canada, you and your government are not better, perhaps worse.\nYour government’s donation to the Clinton Foundation is a glaring example of your disconnect with this country. While the Foundation provides opportunities for education in foreign lands, we have communities in your own country that need those opportunities. While the Clinton Foundation helps to provide support for women in the world; there are women in your own country that need those opportunities. Support for artisans in foreign lands – your own country has artisans that need support to help their own communities thrive.\nWhen an indigenous child dies because there is no access to an ambulance, or sickens because of a lack of access to clean water, safe living quarters and over 10 million dollars is shoveled over to a soldier of an enemy? $10.39 for 4 litres of milk in Nunavut? And you give an enemy operative 10 million dollars? How about using Khadr’s name on a Hercules, sent up north with food – create a government store and render the parasites at Northern Stores impotent. Look after your own people first.\nWhen a veteran must struggle to make ends meet, when a veteran cannot afford food and proper housing? You have failed. Your sun has set and the dark clouds are moving in.\nAre you that blind? Are your handlers that successful in insulating you from Canadian reality?\nYou are failing Canada, you are failing your constituents – you are failing Canadians and in a very negative but spectacular fashion.

-{"text": "A Room For Little Miss Monk || Part Two\n(Written while nursing... multitasking FTW)\nTook me a little while to get around to writing this post. I guess having a baby got in the way a bit...\nI don't claim to be a DIY maven by any means but for some reason this nursery (and my need to be distracted) inspired me to DIY all over the place.\nStarting with the closet demolition and painting the entire room myself (at 33 weeks pregnant during a heatwave, mind you) this room was a bit of a never ending, very sweaty project.\nThe closet in our guest room was the biggest issue that needed to be addressed. It was adorned with some seriously hideous, oversized mirrored sliding doors. The doors always came off the track and eventually the track broke. The closet, which was used primarily as a dumping ground and hiding spot for the things that we had no idea what to do with, was more or less useless. I had grand plans to reconfigured this space to accommodate a little built in desk nook, this would the closet small enough that we could have regular size double doors versus giant sliding track doors. After talking to our handyman to try to price this 'little' project, it was clear that it was out of my (nonexistent) budget. So I racked my brain to come up with a creative solution. Much to my husbands dismay, I decided to take off the doors and make the space part of the room. The room is tiny and one whole wall is taken up with a window and another by the closet so this would allow me to space out the furniture a bit and hopefully make the room feel a little bigger.\nI started planning (and pinning). I decided I would paint the inside of the now open closet to create some contrast and dedicate the space to the changing table. I knew I wanted to create a clothing rack out of copper piping that would compliment the rose gold and copper accents in the room (and give me a spot to showcase Willa's seriously cute mini wardrobe, I am a merchandiser after all...). My first idea was to run the pipe all the way across the closet and just hang the clothes on the side that wasn't over the changing table and possibly use the other side to hang planter pots or something decorative. But then I stumbled upon this: DIY Copper Clothing Rack and decided I was up for the challenge.\nOnce the closet nook was done, the decorating began.\nAll of the furniture was from Louie's nursery so I had to work around/with the dark walnut and grey velvet. This was definitely a challenge because I really wanted a bright, light, bohemian feeling room. The walnut wasn't so much an issue but that grey velvet chair and curtains that worked so well for Louie's neutral nursery felt a little heavy. They will be first on my list to replace when some decorating funds become available!\nA few other key items were gifted and/or hand me downs. The Serena & Lily Flokati rug was actually from one of my clients who has it in their kiddo's room at one point but was no longer using. After giving it a luxurious Oxi Clean bubble bath and hanging it out to dry, it was good as new. The West Elm Mongolian Lamb pillows were my moms and had been light grey when purchased and, as I lovingly pointed out, has turned a minty green from the sun. This minty green just happened to match my room perfectly, how convenient! She replaced them with the white version and handed the 'damaged goods' over to me. My bestie, Elle (According To Elle) gifted me the Moroccan pouf because she understands me like no other. So I like to think of this room as a collaborative effort.\nI bought prints for the wall from Urban Outifitters (one of my favorite secret spots to find decor!) along with the copper bulldog clips (cheaper than framing!). The copper shelf is from CB2 and the botanical California print by Platinum Junglewas purchased at my client Maker & Moss in Hayes Valley.\nI also made the copper pipe and wood dowel blanket ladder (more DIY!) because I saw it in about 100 photos of rooms that I love. So easy! So cheap!\nIn the end, the nursery went from the bright bohemian vision I started with to a bit modern-southwestern and a touch girlier than I really wanted but hey, it's all good. And knowing me, it will all change in a year anyway!\nIf you walked into this nursery right now, you probably wouldn't recognize it. Add sound machine, baby monitor, 2 breast pumps, large black fan in the corner, swaddles blankets wadded up in the crib, diaper bin, and nursing pads on the floor.

If we worked a little harder or did something a little bit better than the next guy, it would lead to some sort of victory or success.\nI now believe we would be better served if we changed our focus from competition to creativity. The end result would be that we become happier and more successful. Less stress and more reward.\n\"Competition attempts to be like only a little better\"\nIn competition we analyze our opponents and copy what we think works. Then we try to do a little more or do it a little better. That sounds logical but there is a major flaw in that strategy and flaw is that it breeds sameness.\n\"The great achievers are focused on creativity\"\nCreativity leads to newness. A new way of doing things and not just a slightly better way. A totally new new product or service. To create something is so much more satisfying. It is exciting for you and your customers.\n\"Competition is an outdated model that leads to modest gains\"\nFriday, February 8, 2013\nPssst....if you like this hit the f button below and share it with your facebook friends. It will make us both happy!\nTuesday, February 5, 2013\nWhen we see images of cute little puppies, kittens or babies it triggers a reaction in us that we can't control. It causes us to be happier more protective creative and simply smarter. It is natures way to create the feelings necessary to continue our species. Young and defenseless images of cute innocent babies is just too hard to resist.\nIn one study it was even found that if you had a really cute baby image in your wallet you were twice as likely to have a lost wallet returned with all your cash and credit cards untouched. So these images even create honesty in those who see them. Hey maybe these types of images could reduce shop lifting?\nLooking at these types of images causes people be calmer and happier. So imagine if you were in some waiting room and surrounded by these cute images. You would be much less likely to be upset about the wait.\nCute and funny flood our systems with those feel good chemicals and hormones.

-{"text": "A good video is just part of an overall marketing strategy. It needs to be part of a plan to engage, convert and retain an audience.\nVideo has become an incredibly popular way to engage an audience.\nThere are good reasons for this.\n96% of consumers say videos help them with their buying decisions.\n77% of consumers believe that companies that create videos are more engaged with them and 73% are more likely to purchase a product or service after watching a video that explains it.\nHere are 10 ways to ensure your video strategy works for you.\n1. Know your purpose\nToo often I see organisations talking about making a video without clearly understanding why they are doing that. Being clear on what you are trying to achieve drives the entire production process.\n2. Don’t sell, be helpful\nPeople will watch and share your videos when you help them. Share you knowledge and experience and it will be passed around. You will position your expertise and be seen as a helpful contributor. This will build trust and community. Think “how can I provide valuable content?”\n3. One message per video\nThe days of 10 minute or even 5 minute videos are gone. If you find yourself trying to fit too much information into a video, you will lose your audience. Focus on one message per video. The way in which we communicate has changed. People want easy to consume bite size pieces of information. Keep your videos simple and short.\n4. Let go of the idea of making just one video.\nConsider how to create more engagement by creating more videos.\nDevelop a storyline of content that can be rolled out over time in a series of videos. This will help build your audience and reinforce the value you bring to the marketplace.\n5. Know your audience\nToo often I see clients go off on tangents with their videos and forget about the audience. Be clear right from the outset who should be watching this and what do I need to share with them. The more focused you are on your audience the more cut through your video will have.\n6. It’s not about you\nToo often I see my clients wanting to showcase what they do and how they do it. It’s very common and it’s often where I help my clients refocus on the real issues the viewer is interested in. We are all too close to our businesses and it helps to have an outsider show us the big picture issues that the viewers are more interested in. Talking about yourself is not going to build engagement. Showing how your services or products help the viewer will.\n7. Have a call to action\nJust like every video should have a purpose, there should be a call to action at the end of the video. The video should direct people to the next step. It may not be to make a purchase but it might to be try a sample, make a phone call, visit a website, watch another video. Be clear before you start, what is the next step I want the viewer to take. If they’ve watched to the end of the video the chances are you have them on side and they will be responsive to your request.\n8. How will it be seen?\nHaving a video that no one sees is unfortunately a waste of time and money. Before making your video have a think about how you can get it seen. It’s important to have a plan that extends beyond having the video on your website. Videos are a powerful way to engage an audience and can bring people to your website if distributed well. Check out this post on 30 ways to distribute your video.\n9. Repurposing opportunities\nVideo is rich media. It can be reused in many ways. Tweet key points, transcribe the content to create blogs (use blog as scripts for videos), extract the audio for those who prefer to listen than watch. Create stories around the video in articles that reference it.\n10. Measure and repeat\nWhat gets measured gets managed. There are a variety of ways to measure video engagement – number of views, number of clicks. Ultimately though your best form of measurement is based on the call to action. How much action was taken because of the video and how has that helped your organisation?\nThen when you see what is working, review and redo.\nIf you’d like help to develop a video strategy that engages your audience and gets result please get in touch with me, Geoff Anderson at Sonic Sight. + 61 2 9888 1110 email@example.com\nGeoff Anderson is the owner of Sonic Sight, a video production facility in Sydney.\nHe is an author, presenter and a video producer.\nConnect with him, book him, take his course, buy his book, follow him.", "char_count": 4452, "token_count": 1113, "k_exact": 1.6162, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7125, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "This is my new information gathering m.o.\n- Wake up in the morning and grab my cellphone.\n- Click the Google Plus button and scroll through what’s in there.\n- Start opening links from friend’s posts into the browser tabs, and floating back to G+.\n- Go to Facebook, and do the same thing.\n- Once I’ve gone through all the posts on Facebook, I click to browser and read the articles.\n- Occasionally reshare, like or +1 the article in its home site.\n- Shower (phone playing music from my files)\n- Down to the laptop at the kitchen table, eat breakfast and read any articles I missed from the phone.\n- THEN I check the following sites: BoingBoing, The Atlantic, io9, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, NY Times.\n- Share articles from respective sites to my FB and G+ feeds.\nThis kind of information behavior is becoming the new norm, and that’s what social networking sites are banking on. I’m absolutely certain that Google, the most predominant search engine out there, is upgrading their algorithms to incorporate things like the resharing of articles and +1, to boost the signal on content that is becoming socially relevant to people. That’s more than likely how Sparks is supposed to work, but who looks at Sparks anyway? With all of the awesome things coming through your stream, there’s no need to go out looking for more.\nSharing information between friends has always part of the experience of gathering information. Social networks and availability of online content have expanded that tremendously, but each does it differently due to their policies on how you can add people. Facebook requires you to mutually accept a friend request. This is a barrier designed to focus on the relationship between the people involved. You are acknowledging that you and this other person are friends, and that acknowledgment allows you to see their content. Google+ on the other hand has the option to follow people, and not have them follow you back, thus allowing you to see content from people you wouldn’t normally have acknowledged as a friend, and thus extending your relationships beyond personal acquaintance.\nPart of the reason I go to Google+ first now is because a) I have a vast majority of people who are not necessarily close to me (increasing the complexity of what I’m reading) and b) there is a greater space to contextualize the information being received. So not only am I seeing a wide array of content that I would not be exposed to via my Facebook friends, but I’m also getting a clearer picture of why they���re sharing that content with me and what they believe it means. Twitter has never really felt relevant to me, because I get far too little information from the people posting to encourage me to want to click a shortened URL. They can’t explain why they’re providing the link, or what their pros and cons are with a piece. Facebook at least allows you a little breathing room when sharing a link. But even there you have a limited character space. Google+ affords you the opportunity to practically write a thesis in rebuttal or praise of an article. People who read your post can truly get to the heart of why you’re sharing this content with them. Add to that the fact that resharing a post from the original author incorporates not only his/her massive context, but also allows the resharer to post his/her response to the article. That gives you two extended opinions from two different people as well as the original link to the article online, which vastly increases the trust one has with the content that they’re reading.\nGoogle+ only has about 30,000 people on the network, as opposed to Facebook which has half a billion. And yet blog sites are reporting that G+ is driving a tremendous amount of traffic to their pages, I know that I’ve seen this and loads of other bloggers have to. It’s because it’s built on the very real culture of discussing literature and sharing it with your friends. And when your definition of friend is ever-widening, you see content going viral more often.\nThen again, maybe G+ users are just extremely avid readers, like these folks…", "char_count": 4082, "token_count": 1020, "k_exact": 2.9157, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9405, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "As Believers who are seeking to advance His Kingdom we have the right and privilege to do business with God.\nWhy does He need us to do business with Him?\n1. God has given mankind dominion over the earth. Therefore, we have the authority to release Him to work when we pray. God has never violated the free will that He gave humankind. And He has given dominion over the earth to men and women.\nPsalm 8:4-8 says: \"What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen—even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.\"\nGod does not violate authority. He sits above it, and He judges men when they abuse the authority given to them; and His hierarchy of authority is not the same as we often think it is. (For instance, prayers carry higher authority than leaders' decisions, and so God can turn the hearts of leaders in response to prayer.) However, He does not violate the authority He has given us. To do so would be a violation of our free will. Understanding how Kingdom authority works is absolutely essential if you want to walk in the supernatural.\n2. Why authority and dominion matter in our prayer closets: It matters because God has given dominion over the earth to men. Therefore, if we want Him to move on the earth, we must ask. History is full of stories of God moving when there was prayer. If we want God to move, we must pray.\nPRAYER OPENS DOORS AND PROVIDES A WAY WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY\nFather is so serious about our prayer assignment that He actually gave us the Helper to help us pray! The Holy Spirit of grace and supplication has several specific jobs, but one of them is to move through us in prayer. Romans 8:26-27 says: \"Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the Saints according to the will of God.\"\nEven Jesus came as a baby in response to prayer and intercession. God had told us that it was His will to send the Messiah, and dedicated lovers of God prayed for the Deliverer to come for many years. We have dominion over the earth. If we desire to see God move on the earth, we must pray.\n3. God has always desired to converse and even reason with mankind. God desires the best for us now. Even if some things are stored up for the future, they can be pulled into the present by the prayer of faith.\nPULL ON GOD THROUGH FAITH-FILLED PRAYERS\nThen remember Moses, who interceded before God for the lives of the children of Israel. It was God's plan to wipe them out and raise up a new nation from the offspring of Moses. But Moses reasoned with God, and He changed His mind.\nGod's reasoning is the kind of reasoning that God encourages us to logically present His Word back to Him in prayer. Psalm 138:1-3, \"I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your Word above all Your name. In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.\"\nWhen we reason with God His way, we search out the deep things of His Word to discover His will for our lives individually and for the whole earth. Then, we go boldly before God's throne of grace as the kings over the earth that we are. From that position, we are to present our requests to Him with prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving—based on His own Word. When we pray God's own Word back to Him, we have assurance that we will receive whatever we request.\n1 John 5:14-15 tells us this: \"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.\"\nSo doing business with God means presenting His own will back to Him. It's always His will to establish and expand His Kingdom of righteousness, peace, joy, and power on the earth and in your life personally. It's always His will for you to ask—YES, FOR YOURSELF—for Jesus said: \"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full\" (John 16:24).\nQUESTIONS TO ASK MYSELF:\nHow will I respond?\nWill I set yourself apart to seek Him morning, noon, and night?\nWill I go boldly before His throne of grace, praying specific prayers and expecting specific answers?\nWill I accept the challenge to do business with God on purpose?\nALBERT FINCH MINISTRY", "char_count": 4953, "token_count": 1238, "k_exact": 2.3843, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8505, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Aging Related Differences in Hand Intrinsic and Extrinsic Muscles for Hand Dexterity: An MRI Investigation\nShim, Jae Kun\nMetadataShow full item record\nHand dexterity is crucial for humans to interactions with the external environment. Many activities of daily living (ADLs) such as pressing, grasping, writing and typing would be unattainable without a skillfully and proficiently functioning hand. Sexagenarians and older often experience difficulties in hand dexterity, which seriously impair their ability to perform ADLs. This study described the aging-related changes in hand muscle size and dexterity; and addressed the conflicting literature regarding the extent of atrophy to either the intrinsic or extrinsic hand muscles in the elderly. The overall hypotheses for this study were 1) that elderly adults show an aging-related decrease in hand muscle size and strength, especially a greater decrease in the intrinsic hand muscles, 2) elderly adults show an aging-related decrease in hand dexterity and 3) hand muscle size and strength are positively related to hand dexterity. This study examined hand muscle sizes with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examined hand strength and other functional measures. This study found aging-related decreases in muscle size, muscle strength, hand dexterity. Furthermore, intrinsic muscles showed a greater aging-related decrease in volume and strength as compared to the extrinsic muscles. When examining relationships, muscle strength was positively correlated to multi-finger synergy and finger dependence. Also, muscle size was positively related to performance on clinical hand dexterity tests. This supports the strength-dexterity equivalence hypothesis.", "char_count": 1710, "token_count": 427, "k_exact": 3.3857, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9146, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

The company was also honoured as a ‘Super Partner’ to specialised retailers by the German trade association for restaurant and commercial kitchen equipment GGKA.\nThe German trade association for restaurant and commercial kitchen equipment GGKA recently completed the process of evaluating and grading its suppliers for the fifteenth time. The Board members of the GGKA association, which is headquartered in Cologne, invited 19 prizewinners onto the podium to accept their awards.\nGGKA members rated the candidates in a total of nine categories on the basis of seven criteria – and it was MEIKO that came out on top among the manufacturers of dishwashing equipment.\nOn a scale of 1.0 (best) to 4.0 (worst), the company received an overall score of 2.27 based on the assessment of criteria including quality, susceptibility to faults, sales support and revenue realisation. The comparable average for the category was significantly lower, at just 2.68.\nThis award is seen as particularly prestigious because votes are cast directly by specialised retailers in the industry.\nMichael Mayer, head of sales for Meiko warewashing equipment in Germany, Austria and Switzerland thanked GGKA for the award: “We’re tremendously proud to have been ranked as a ‘Super Partner’, and particularly pleased that we took a premier position in the ‘Large Equipment’ category. We’re grateful to have received such a prestigious award. It will motivate us to solidify our position as a market leader.”\n‘GRÜNE BAND 2016’ sustainability award: MEIKO takes top spot in Water category\nFor the third time, the Intergastra exhibition in Stuttgart played host to the presentation of the prestigious sustainability award from the Huss-Medien Group in the six categories of water, energy, climate, ecology, fair trade/social responsibility and corporate concept. The winners were chosen by an expert jury and the readers of the trade journals ‘Gastronomie & Hotellerie’ and ‘GV-kompakt’.\nSustainability has made major inroads into the hospitality and food service sectors, with concepts such as energy efficiency, environmental stewardship and fair trade becoming firmly established in the market. To remain successful in a competitive market, restaurant and catering managers are now faced with the challenge of creating strategies and solutions which meet both business-focused and eco-friendly criteria. That requires partners from the supplier industry that share the same philosophy and the same determination to offer products that promote sustainable production and consumption patterns.\nNow MEIKO has yet another reason to celebrate. Having already received the sustainability award in 2012, MEIKO has done it again in 2016 in the Water category with its M-iQ GreenEye technology. Achieving reductions of up to 50 percent in fresh water and rinse agent, GreenEye is an innovation which optimises capacity utilisation to maximise savings. Using a smart system of indicator lights, it facilitates teamwork between the machine and its operators and ensures an efficient cleaning process.\nHaving already accepted the Super Partner award the evening before, Michael Mayer was delighted to receive yet another prestigious prize: “Many thanks to all the readers of the ‘GV-Kompakt’ and ‘Hotellerie & Gastronomie’ trade magazines. It’s a privilege to be awarded this sustainability prize in the Water category. Water is truly MEIKO’s element, because achieving reliably hygienic warewashing results would be impossible without it. It is one of the most precious elements on our planet, and something which deserves to be protected. We hope that our ideas go some way toward helping conservation efforts – this award will inspire us to keep working on even better solutions.”\nMEIKO is a value-driven company which has firmly anchored the concept of sustainability in its corporate culture. It follows the maxim that companies should think in terms of generations, not quarters. That belief is reflected both in its product development strategy and its production processes.", "char_count": 4418, "token_count": 1104, "k_exact": 3.2807, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9214, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Is the Chinese government taking down non-state-owned video sites? That seems to be the prevailing view of what caused the Chinese YouTube-like site 56.com to cease operating on June 3rd, according to WSJ. The site, which has received $30 million — a $20 million second round was closed last December — from early backers Sequoia Capital and *Disney* Steamboat Ventures, among others. Visitors to the site are greeted with a message in Mandarin indicating that 56.com is dealing with a simple server problem.\nIt could be the worst server problem in online video site history or… something darker could be at work. Last December, the Chinese government began handing down new rules designed to curtail non-state owned sites, which tended to ignore officials’ censorship demands. In what was seen as possible reprieve, Beijing said that some private video sites could receive licenses, but 56.com was never issued one. Neither has rival Chinese site Tudou, which just raised an additional $57 million two months ago. More recently, another Chinese video site Youku said it secured a $25 million third round.\nThe shuttering of 56.com has caused a great deal of uncertainty about the future of the nation’s quickly growing online video business. The peril that private video sites have been in since December didn’t sneak up on investors, who as the recent fundings show, have expressed confidence that Chinese regulators would not take an iron fist approach to the new businesses — overall, BDA China Ltd., a Beijing tech consultant estimates the top eight online-video sites have taken in at least $250 million funding as of last month.

-{"text": "Hello Pattern Revolution readers! It is Crystal here, from Stitched by Crystal, and today I am sharing my latest sewing project with you...Ellen’s Esplanade bag by ChrisW Designs! It has been a while since I sewed a bag for myself (or anything for myself really) so I was excited try out a new to me designer and sew up a great everyday bag!\nThe description of the Ellen’s Esplanade pattern says it is “the perfect day project” or bag you can “whip up and give as a gift”. And I have to admit I had my suspicions about a bag pattern you can “whip up” as bag patterns can take hours, even days to sew. But it is true! I whipped this bag up in 3.5 hours from print to clipping on my strap in the last step, and that included some seam ripping and re-cutting a couple pieces (measure twice cut once, right?...I will remember that next time!) So this really is a pretty quick sew as far as bags go!\nThe finished bag is a great size for everyday use as a mom with three kids. It measures about 15” wide, 11.5” tall and 5.5” wide. It has a zippered interior pocket and 2 big exterior side pockets that are big enough to fit my water bottle! The bag is lined and has a beautiful clean finish, the hole to turn the bag gets hidden in the interior pocket seam.\nThe pattern only has 3 pages of pattern pieces to print and give measurements for all the other rectangular shaped pieces. There is a fourth page to print that has little labels to cut out for all your rectangular pieces, they really help you keep things organized while you are cutting and sewing!\nThere are fabric requirements included and it states you may need to but more for pattern matching. Make sure you get plenty of fabric, this bag has a seam in the front and the back, I didn’t have quite enough fabric to match the flower on the front of my bag like I would have liked. But that seam could make for some really fun stripe patterns or chevrons if you wanted to get creative with your fabrics!\nYou do need some bag hardware for this project, but it is all pretty easy to find. I found all the hardware I needed at my local fabric store with the exception of the grommets so I ended up skipping those.\nI would say this is an intermediate sewing pattern, mostly because of the zippers. It is a pretty easy sew as far as bags go. I think it would make a great pattern for someone who may have never sewn a bag before and wants to give it a shot! The instructions are clear and easy to follow with clear pictures for each step. And the designer give some great tips along the way!\nMake sure you head over to ChrisW Designs to find the Ellen’s Esplanade pattern!

It was only last month that he won at nearby Royal Durban in an event reduced to 36 holes because of rain.\nPadraig Harrington began his 2013 with a 70, but Paul Casey - winner in Bahrain two years ago, but unable to defend last year after dislocating his shoulder snowboarding - could do no better than 74 like Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke was one worse than that like defending champion Branden Grace.\nClarke's fellow Northern Irishman Michael Hoey would have shared second spot with three closing pars, but instead double-bogeyed the 16th and 18th for a 72.\nHoey reckoned he had drunk too much water. \"I felt bloated and lost so much concentration,\" he said.\nThe former British amateur champion will need his focus back for the second round.

-{"text": "I have been living in my car for three months. The first two weeks, my luggage was kept neatly in bags. Besides opening a trunk instead of a closet, a string of awkward sleeping positions, and the consequences of eating highway food, I feel that I have successfully adapted to road life. I accept the fact that my clothes will always feel wrinkled and wet, my digestive system is perpetually “off” and no simple conversation derives from the confession, “I am living in my car.”\nAdvice for lonesome lady road travelers:\n1) Try to blend in. I woke up and brushed my teeth on a dirt road on the fringes of the French Quarter using the leftover cup of Jack, Coke and melted ice to rinse (yes, like Ke$ha). With no time to shower, I was wearing the same clothes and back on the road. Even after convincing myself that this was a totally average Thursday morning, I learned an important lesson: try to blend in, even at the gas station. Without preparation, you may find yourself approached by a local who suspects that you are not just an innocent traveler. You may think that spraying perfume helps, but in this case, you are probably exacerbating the primary issue, being, party shoes in the morning, at a gas station off I-10 = the wrong kind of attention.\n2) Remember, sanity and health are relative. Driving long hours can be therapeutic and when lost in thought, it is easy to forget that essentially, you have been contained in a 6 x 5 moving box. You have spent hours, days, and weeks consuming ungodly amounts of sugar, fat, and caffeine. The music you think that has been in a steadily changing and random is actually on repeat. You have engaged a philosophical debate with the GPS girl. The voices in your head are no longer ponderous road thoughts, they are actually the sound of you losing your shit.\n3) Don’t tell people you live in a car. This may seem obvious, but I made the mistake of letting it be known that my address is actually my license plate. The first and most common reaction is pity: “Oh no, are you okay?” People have started to believe that I am unintentionally homeless . When I start talking, the Christians are disappointed to find out that I don’t really need to be saved. Then there are the questions, “What are you doing? Don’t you need to work? Why did you leave?” All questions with a series of generic answers that smell spoiled, like the leftovers in my backseat. None invoke any pride. I have also been asked if I need a roommate.

-{"text": "Last Saturday, one of our readers got a $350 Manhattan boutique hotel for $70 INCLUDING tax (check out the screen grab on the left - this is a hotel that costs $350 on booking.com). How did he do it? Short answer, the Hotel Tonight app. Long answer, well, long answers are our speciality:\nFrom a business standpoint, selling a hotel room is more like selling fresh squeezed juice than selling a house or condo. LIke freshly squeezed juice, hotel rooms are perishable. if you haven't sold your fresh orange juice( or hotel room) by nightfall, it becomes worthless. And like food that's about to go off, you can often get a last minute hotel room at a huge discount.\nThe very best way purchase a last minute boutique hotel is with the Hotel Tonight app. Starting at noon every day, the app shows you hotels in any city that will offer you huge discounts on that night only. The prices are already low, but like everything else, Tango in Tahiti has tips to save even more money:\nTip 1. Use a promo code to get $25 off your first booking. We suggest using our code: srobertson23\nTip 2. Douple Dip on Promo codes to get $50 off your second night. If you \"invite\" your husband or wife to use Hotel Tonight and then book under their name, they get $25 off, and you get another $25 credit for inviting them!\nTip 3. Rather than booking two or more nights (which is allowed but usually more expensive) leave your bags in the hotel lobby while you're out during the day, giving you the option of booking whatever hotel is cheapest for that night.\nTip 4. Hotel Tonight works best in NYC. In cities with a plethora of hotel rooms (think Atlanta or Orlando) Priceline.com seems to turn up the best deals. But in NYC, Hotel Tonight is king (if you don't believe us, take another look at the screen grab above to see The Craiginator's $70 score last Saturday night.\nPriceline vs. Hotel Tonight - Could Hotel Tonight be better than Priceline.com for hotels? It's certainly cooler. Priceline is full of big box business hotels like the HIlton and Sheraton, while Hotel Tonight puts you in modern boutique hotels. It's also nice to actually know where you're staying before you pay for your room. But Priceline.com still has one huge advantage, when you use Priceline you can book in advance. Waiting until late afternoon and booking with Hotel Tonight gives you huge savings, but it takes nerves of steel (and it's a pain stashing your bags while you wait).", "char_count": 2439, "token_count": 609, "k_exact": 1.7742, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7306, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

Back in the Bay, she works at the long-established Pask winery, but since 2010 has also been crafting consistently classy wines under her own label, Collaboration.\nBrogden doesn’t own a vineyard or a winery. “For every wine, I think about what attributes I want to see in the final wine, then source sites accordingly.”\nFamily and close friends help with the vineyard work. “I run the bottling line at my main job, so I manage to get my mum, older sister and friends to put the bottles on the line and pack at the other end when I’m bottling my own wine.”\nOther key supporters include her partner, winemaker Richard Painter, who works at the Te Awa winery, and vineyard supervisor Sam – a labrador.\nA feature of Collaboration wines is their lovely labels. After living in a trailer in a Napa Valley canyon, paying US$50 a month, Brogden moved in with a well-known artist, Angela Tirrell – and her world of “entertaining dinner parties, interesting people and, of course, beautiful artwork”.\nConversation turned to the creation of a new range of wines, produced by Brogden and adorned with Tirrell’s abstract paintings.\nThe current releases include the stylish Ceresia Merlot/Cabernet Franc 2013 and the hand-picked, barrel-fermented Collaboration Aurulent Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2013 (5/5 stars, $30), a very youthful, elegant wine.

-{"text": "How To Choose A Wheelchair\nNowadays, wheelchairs can be cheap to purchase and are widely available, so choosing a wheelchair can be confusing. Some people will have been prescribed a specific sort of wheelchair by an Occupational Therapist whilst others might want a wheelchair for when an elderly relative comes to stay.\nSomebody using the wheelchair independently will require a self propelling (large wheels) model they push themselves. A self propelled, or transit wheelchair (smaller wheels) will be appropriate if the wheelchair will be pushed by an attendant.\nA folding wheelchair is a good choice for occasional use as they can easily be dismantled, folded and transported by car. The rear wheels will usually come off, and the back might fold down to save space. These wheelchairs are ideal for those going out for the day in the car, or perhaps for someone who can't walk as far as they once could, but maybe don't need to be in a wheelchair all the time. A dedicated motor can be purchased to turn the manual wheelchair into an attendant controlled powerchair making hills much less of a problem. If you are looking at a wheelchair for occasional use, the lighter it is, the easier it will be to dismantle and put in a car boot. As a very rough guide, folding wheelchairs weigh around 33-44lbs / 15-20Kg, which doesn't sound too heavy, but remember that somebody will be pushing wheelchair, and perhaps getting it in and out of the car.\nFolding wheelchairs are available in various sizes, but often do not offer the specialised features that a prescribed wheelchair can offer. For others, the wheelchair will be used more often, perhaps all day, at work, or indoors, for example. For this sort of wheelchair user, the comfort and manoeuvrability is likely to be much more important than how much the wheelchair costs. These wheelchairs are less likely to be folding models, as the performance and weight of the wheelchair is more important than whether it folds. These rigid, self propelled wheelchairs combine a lighter frame and wheels. They might have a more specialised back, seat cushion, foot rests and arm rests.\nWheelchair users who lead an active lifestyle, which might include playing sports such as tennis and basketball as well as driving and day to day living, will require a different sort of wheel chair again. These users are likely to move away from a cumbersome folding wheelchair, to one that is very lightweight, smaller and stronger than a traditional wheelchair. A sport wheelchair might even be constructed from titanium which is stronger and lighter than aluminium. It probably won't have traditional style foot rests, as these will be incorporated into the frame. It might not have arm rests or handles, as it won't need to be pushed. It is also likely to have customisable front and rear wheels so that the user has the most appropriate wheels and tyres for their needs. The wheels on some rigid wheelchairs can be pushed inwards so that they lean towards the user to provide more responsiveness. The highly adjustable and customisable nature of these wheelchairs means that the user might only needs one wheelchair for all activities - day to day living and sports. These lightweight chairs are easy to put in a car, and the wheelchair user can put their wheelchair in the car from the driver's seat. This means that they don't have to rely on others, and can maintain their independence. These very lightweight wheelchairs are utilising a lot of technology and techniques from mountain bike manufacturers. Indeed, some of these rigid wheelchairs resemble a mountain bike more than a traditional wheelchair, and depending on the model and specifications may only weigh 15-17lbs / 8Kg.\nThe efficiency of a wheelchair can be measured easily in a non-scientific way. The user can simply see how far they move in a given wheelchair, on a given surface in just one push. Because of the number of joints, and weight of the steel of aluminium, a folding wheelchair loses a lot of energy, so a folding wheelchair won't move as far as a rigid wheelchair per push. A titanium sport wheelchair weighs roughly a third of the weight of a standard steel folding wheelchair, and so will move much further per push. This is an important consideration when choosing a wheelchair.\nThe process of choosing a wheelchair can be complicated. The wheelchair manufacturers make this easier by providing a prescription form for some models. This is a step by step method of choosing the right wheelchair, based on the user's condition, daily activities and any other special requirements. Depending on the complexity of the user's requirements, the wheelchair manufacturer may offer the service of a trained expert to help with the prescription. All sorts of situations are considered from whether the user needs to cross roads, to the size and width of the front castors.\nWhatever style of wheelchair you choose, a wheelchair cushion will be recommende", "char_count": 4966, "token_count": 1241, "k_exact": 1.6341, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7327, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
-{"text": "Walks haunt Stingers in loss to Express\nEAU CLAIRE - A severe lack of command was the Willmar Stingers’ demise in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday against the Eau Claire Express, as a 13-7 loss snapped their six-game winning streak.\nStingers pitchers combined to walk 18 batters over eight innings and the Express took advantage, pulling within one game of Willmar for first place in the North Division second-half standings.\nEau Claire jumped out to an 8-1 lead after three innings and extended that cushion to 13-7 through seven.\nWillmar left-hander Connor Herd made his first start of the season and lasted just 1-1/3 innings, as five walks led to an early exit. By the game’s end, Stingers manager Eric Vasquez would go through three relief pitchers and use Caleb Ledbetter -- an outfielder -- for a scoreless eighth inning.\nDespite trailing by 12 runs with six outs to play, Willmar would proceed to make things at least slightly tense for the Express.\nHighlighted by Nolan Bumstead’s three-run double, the Stingers plated six runs in the eighth inning. They then loaded the bases with nobody out in the ninth, bringing the tying run to the hole, but went down quietly to end the game.\nDanny Rodriguez hit a solo home run in the top of the second inning, at the time cutting the Eau Claire lead to 2-1, and tying Bumstead for the team-high with six dingers.\nRodriguez came up again in the third with the bases loaded, two outs and Willmar down 3-1. The Stingers first baseman put together a hard-fought 11-pitch at-bat before striking out on a foul tip.\nWith the Express scoring five runs in the bottom half of the frame against reliever Myles Smith, the next time Willmar would step to the plate, it trailed 8-1.\nThe second game of the doubleheader begins at 7 p.m. with right-hander Cameron Churchill on the mound.Eau Claire 13, Willmar 7Stingers 010 000 060-7 10 2Express 215 120 020-13 12 2Hitting - Willmar: Luke Becker 1-5 r rbi, Marcus Still 0-4 bb-2 r, Nolan Bumstead 2-5 2b rbi-3, Danny Rodriguez 1-5 hr r rbi, Matt Klosterman 1-3 r, Harrison Schnurbusch 2-3 r bb-2, Caleb Ledbetter 1-4 r, Carter Schmidt 1-1 r rbi bb-2, Tyler Reichenborn 1-4 2b r bb … Eau Claire: Zach Ashford 2-4 r-3 rbi-3, Zach Gilles 2-2 bb-4 r-3 rbi-2, Luke Bandy 2-4 rbi-3\nPitching (ip-h-r-er-bb-so) - Willmar: Connor Herd (L) 1.1-3-3-3-5-1, Myles Smith 2.2-4-6-6-4-3, Hayden Petrovick 1-1-2-2-7-1, Jacob Mertz 2-3-2-1-0-0, Caleb Ledbetter 1-2-0-0-1-0 … Eau Claire: Emanuel Castellano (W) 5-6-1-1-2-4, Adam O’Malley 2-2-4-4-5-0, Jake Moebius 2-2-2-2-2-2", "char_count": 2550, "token_count": 637, "k_exact": 2.8176, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9205, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "Every people would like to live well having a good lifestyle. The problem seems not to be so easy as could. At first, to have and get things done, we need to take action for things happen because it has not got by itself. The first way by which it may be possible is through the change of habits setting the mind up for things get better. The greater barrier to getting it sets down in knowing how to manage feelings and limiting beliefs all of us have stuck inside so hard of being thrown out. The change of habits begins through mastering thoughts from which it could be possible to improve and grow the inner or subconscious mind of people.\nThoughts are energetic vibrations, manifestations of intelligence coming from the soul’s power. Through clear and correct thoughts we have a channel to interact with the Universe widening the horizons of our knowledge, and so doing it, strengthening the moral principles along the path of our existence.\nThe power of thought is the great key to getting a good and balanced life. Mastering our thoughts for the good we put them attuned with the Universal Power and Creative Intelligence. Through this channel, we may supply our lives with the Great Force of the Universe becoming us invigorated, stronger and abler for facing our daily struggles for existence.\nWe need to take care of managing our thoughts on the right way, because they set up real environmental climates promoting good health or diseases, joy or sorrow, success or failure and well or ill-being. People are responsible in fact for their lives, acts and thoughts, being them for their own reliable and dependable on whatever may happen in their lifetime. We are what we think and we are the mirror of our choices.\n“As a man thinketh, so he is.” “Man is created by thought; what a man thinks that he becomes.” Think you are strong; strong you become. Think you are weak; the weak you become. Think you are a fool; fool you become. A man forms his own character, becoming that which he thinks. If you meditate on courage, you shall work courage into your character. If you think nobly, you shall gradually make for yourself a noble character, but if you think basely, a base character will be formed. Steady persevering thoughts sets up a definite habit of the mind and that habit manifests itself as a quality in the character. The thread of thought is woven into mental and moral qualities and these qualities in their totality form what we call character. You can build your character as surely as a mason can build a wall, working with and through the law.\nThe first step towards a deliberate creation of character lies then in the deliberate choosing of what we will think and then of thinking persistently on the quality chosen. Soon, there will be a tendency to evince that quality; a little longer, its exercise will become habitual. Thoughts make the character. You spin the thread of thought into your life.\nCarry any kind of thought you please about with you and so long as you retain it, no matter how you roam over land or sea, you will unceasingly attract to yourself, knowingly or inadvertently, exactly and only what corresponds to your own dominant quality of thought. Thoughts are your private property and you can regulate them to suit your taste entirely by steadily recognizing your ability to do so. You have entirely in your own hands to determine the order of thoughts you entertain and consequently the order of influences you attract and are not mere willowy creatures of circumstances unless indeed you choose to be.\nA good thought is thrice bestowed. First, it benefits the thinker by improving his mental body. Secondly, it benefits the person about whom it is entertained. Lastly, it benefits all mankind by improving the general mental atmosphere. An evil thought, on the contrary, is thrice cursed. First, it harms the thinker by doing injury to his mental body. Secondly, it harms the person who is its object. Lastly, it harms all mankind by vitiating the whole mental atmosphere. Every evil thought is bad for the person to whom it is directed. but it is even worse for you because these thoughts rebound mainly upon yourself. A mind occupied by evil thoughts acts as a magnet to attract like thoughts and thus you are the one who more directly suffer from it. Evil thoughts are thrown into the mental atmosphere poison the mental environment.\nThoughts are very contagious. Thought moves. It leaves the soul and hovers about. It enters the minds of others also. A sympathetic thought in you raises a sympathetic thought in others with whom you come in contact. A thought of anger produces a similar vibration in those who surround an angry man. Cheerful thoughts produce cheerful thoughts in others. Thoughts of joy create sympathetically thoughts of joy in others.", "char_count": 4809, "token_count": 1202, "k_exact": 2.1397, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.8269, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

I’ve had an image of her on my wall ever since a good friend of mine gave it to me many years ago (thank you, Harmony!). She has quietly looked over my home, her gentle presence smiling at me and my family.\nI have said her mantra often over the years, opening myself up to her abundance. The mantra is Om Gum Shreem Lakshmi Yei Namaha. I even made a mala for myself to connect with that energy. Recently, I picked up a small statue of Lakshmi that I set up when I am at markets. I even wrote a meditation about her that I will be posting soon!\nWith all of that, I actually know very little about Lakshmi. For research, it is important to me to look at Hindu sources (or websites that draw from Hindu sources). If I’m going to build a relationship with this Goddess, I don’t want to white wash Her.\nI know she is a consort of Vishnu, and another name for her is Shri (or Sri). She is considered by some to be an aspect of the great mother goddess, along with Saraswati and Kali or Durga. She is honored especially at Diwali.\nThis only scratches the surface. I am honestly going to have to do more research, and spend time connecting with her. So that is the task I set for myself – to get to know her, her likes and dislikes, and what offerings she prefers. I’ll let you know what I learn.", "char_count": 1604, "token_count": 401, "k_exact": 1.5498, "k_integer": 2, "k_label": "Basic", "ciq_score": 0.7153, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

-{"text": "After a very long and demoralizing losing streak, supporters of marriage equality have recently experienced a string of victories so sudden and dramatic that it has their heads spinning. Just yesterday, the Minnesota House passed a bill that would make it the 12th state to legalize same-sex marriage. The vote came while the ink was still drying on Delaware’s landmark new marriage equality law, which followed on the heels—five days!—of a similar milestone in Rhode Island. Up until last November, supporters had tasted defeat on 33 state-level measures.\nBut after Election Day, change was in the wind. Voters in Maine, Minnesota, Washington, and Maryland came down firmly on the side of same-sex marriage. You could credit folks like Ellen DeGeneres and NFL punter Chris Kluwe and basketball star Jason Collins—and even a few die-hard Republicans such as Dick Cheney, who has come out in favor of marriage equality—for helping bring about the rapid cultural shift. And no doubt that’s a big part of it. But there’s one force, perhaps greater than any other, that shouldn’t be underestimated: the Mormon church’s political surrender on gay marriage.\nIt’s remarkable what has happened in the marriage fight since the Mormons decided to abandon it. Consider that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the single biggest funder and organizer of the 2008 campaign to pass California’s Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in one of America’s most liberal states. The church is estimated to have directed at least $20 million to that effort, along with significant organizing clout. Documents unearthed by activist Fred Karger showed that the Mormons had 77 people working full time at the church’s Salt Lake City headquarters to get Prop. 8 passed.\nThe church, in fact, had been a crucial (if not always visible) player since the 1990s, when it helped fend off efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in Hawaii and California. As far back as 1996, high-ranking LDS officials were coordinating behind the scenes and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to orchestrate what became the first state-level vote to ban gay marriage in Hawaii. Top church officials were also heavily involved in the creation of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), the primary player over the last decade in the fight to outlaw gay unions.\nBut after the Mormon involvement in Prop. 8 was fully exposed, the backlash was severe—and apparently unexpected. The church became a target for public protests, and lost a considerable number of members who were unhappy with its involvement in a political issue that had caused individual LDS families a lot of grief. In the campaign’s aftermath, a top church leader even apologized to gay church members for the pain they’d suffered.\nThis is not to say that the Mormons have had a change of heart about gay marriage. The church is still adamantly opposed to it. On April 6, during the LDS’s annual conference, Boyd Packer, who is next in line to assume the church’s top leadership post, warned, “We need to be careful of the tolerance\ntrend trap, so that we do not get swallowed up in it. The permissiveness afforded by the weakening of the laws of the land to tolerate and legalize immorality does not reduce the serious spiritual consequence that is the result from a violation of God’s law of Chastity.”\nThat said, the church seems to have returned to focusing on homosexuality as a personal issue rather than a political one. After years of working behind the scenes, hiring lobbyists, and mobilizing its members to fight state referendums sympathetic to same-sex marriage, it appears to have simply dropped the rope. “In the other four states last year that had marriage, you didn’t see the Mormon church anywhere,” says Kevin Nix, spokesman for the LGBT advocacy group, Human Rights Campaign.\nJanet Wallis is the mother of lesbian married daughters who has been working with a group called Minnesotans United for All Families, at first to defeat an anti-gay-marriage amendment last November, and more recently to support the legislation the Minnesota House just passed. One of her daughters used to live in Utah and worked on the 2002 Olympic Committee with Mitt Romney, so she’s well acquainted with the church’s role in LGBT politics. During the marriage fights in Minnesota, she kept wondering where the Mormons were. Catholics have been “so VERY, VERY visible” during these battles, she told me via email, but “there have been no articles, no news stories, not a peep publicly re: being Mormon and how to vote.”\nLast year in Maryland, the church even went so far as to squelch an effort by some Mormons to organize against a pro-marriage initiative on the state ballot. The loss of the church as an ally has been a huge blow to foes of gay marriage, especially given its ability to deploy a host of motivated volunteers. (The efficiency of the LDS church during natural disasters has been compared to that of the German Wehrmacht.)\nIf nothing else, the movement against gay marriage has lost a significant source of cash. In March, the Huffington Post reported that a scant 16 Utah residents (a rough proxy for Mormons) had donated a collective total of $1,264 to four state ballot committees fighting same-sex marriage bills. Back in 2008, more than 800 Utah residents gave $2.7 million to support Prop 8.\nKarger, the California activist who helped call attention to the church’s Prop. 8 role, believes that without the Mormons’ money and organizing clout, the fight has been left to a handful of extremely conservative Catholic groups such as the Knights of Columbus and NOM, none of which has much in the way of grassroots organizing skills. Indeed, a whopping 90 percent of NOM’s funding comes from only about 10 individuals. According to the most recent IRS filings available, it raised nearly $3 million less in 2011 than it did in 2010, a reduction of about one-third. In 2012, according to Human Rights Campaign, gay marriage proponents in four states considering marriage bills outraised NOM by $20 million.\nWhile NOM used the specter of legalization in Rhode Island to raise money, it had a poor showing in the state. The rabidly anti-gay group Mass Resistance complained bitterly, calling NOM “clueless and ineffective,” and noting, “NOM did no serious organizing or strategic planning. Meetings with activists would be set up, then go unattended.” That’s the sort of thing that would never happen if the LDS church had been on board.\n“NOM has always been a shell group, the purpose of which was to funnel money from a shadowy handful of funders directed by the Mormon and Catholic hierarchy,” says Evan Wolfson, the founder and president of Freedom to Marry. “Now that the Mormon hierarchy seems to have pulled back, it exposes the weakness and lack of any real grassroots depth in the opposition.”\nThe pullback of the LDS church may also have the unexpected effect of allowing more Republican elected officials to back marriage equality without fear of suffering at the polls. (Mormons are among the country’s most reliable Republican voters.) Republicans in Rhode Island and Delaware were a key factor in marriage advocates’ success, says HRC’s Nix.\nWolfson is cautiously optimistic. He thinks it’s too soon to know whether the LDS church has unilaterally withdrawn from the marriage fight or whether this is just a temporary cease-fire: “In 2012, part of their tactical reason for pulling back was to avoid any muddying the waters for Romney. That was a higher priority for them than even attacking gay people.”\nBut it would be fair to say that the gay-marriage supporters are thrilled with the rapid about-face. “It’s a new day in the fight for marriage equality, with one victory after another,” Karger says. “I’m convinced that all these wins would not be possible if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had not finally abandoned its 15-year battle to demonize all LGBT Americans.”", "char_count": 7971, "token_count": 1992, "k_exact": 2.9978, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9546, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

They have the credibility and experience needed to deliver the most effective HIV prevention strategies to those who need them most.”\nJonathan Mermin, MD, MPH, director, CDC’s National Center\nfor HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention\n“Community-based organizations have been vital to our nation’s HIV prevention efforts since the earliest days of the epidemic,” said Jonathan Mermin, M.D., director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention. “The organizations we’re funding have a strong foothold in the hardest-hit communities. They have the credibility and experience needed to deliver the most effective HIV prevention strategies to those who need them most.”\nCBOs will use the new funding to deliver high-impact HIV prevention strategies, including:\n- Providing HIV testing to those at high risk to increase the proportion of people who are aware of their HIV status\n- Engaging HIV-positive people in ongoing care and treatment, helping them adhere to antiretroviral therapy, and ensuring they receive prevention and support services\n- Ensuring high-risk, HIV-negative individuals have access to prevention and support services such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), high-impact behavioral interventions, and screening for sexually transmitted infections\n- Distributing condoms to HIV-positive and high-risk, HIV-negative individuals\nFor the first time in its nearly 30-year history, the funding program includes a component that allows organizations to pool their expertise and resources into “Prevention Partnerships.” Of the 90 organizations receiving funding, 30 will serve as the lead of a partnership comprised of several organizations. Through these partnerships, 47 additional organizations will contribute their own unique expertise to help deliver more comprehensive prevention services to those in greatest need.\n“It’s clear that we need to focus our limited resources on strategies that can have the greatest possible impact,” said Eugene McCray, M.D., director of CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. “This funding targets local communities to help maximize the impact of every federal prevention dollar. By delivering powerful prevention tools where they’re needed most, we can have a transformative impact on the epidemic.”\nThe funded organizations are in the 50 geographic areas that reported the highest number of HIV diagnoses in 2011. Each organization has demonstrated experience and expertise working with the populations most affected by the epidemic. Of the 90 directly-funded CBOs, 67 (74.4 percent) primarily serve African Americans and 15 (16.7 percent) primarily serve Hispanics; 64 (71.1 percent) primarily serve MSM. A full list of funded CBOs is available at http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/funding/announcements/ps15-1502/organizations.html.\nCDC provided extensive pre-application guidance and technical assistance to help interested CBOs apply for the funding. Funded CBOs will be required to monitor program impact and behavioral outcomes. Moving forward, CDC will provide technical assistance and support – directly and through funding for its capacity-building partners – to help ensure funded CBOs are successful in meeting key goals associated with the funding, such as increasing HIV testing among those at-risk and increasing the number of people with HIV who are linked to medical care.\n“Birmingham AIDS Outreach has been working since 1985 to reverse the devastating impact of HIV in our community – and now, with this new funding from CDC, we can do even more, along with our community partners AIDS Alabama and the Aletheia House,” said Karen Musgrove, executive director of Birmingham AIDS Outreach. “We’re grateful for and excited about the opportunity to invest in delivering the cutting edge of HIV prevention to those who need it most across the state of Alabama.”\nCBO funding is one critical piece of CDC HIV prevention investments\nCDC supports HIV prevention at national, state, local, and territorial levels, and these awards represent just one part of CDC’s nearly $700 million annual investment in domestic HIV prevention. The bulk of that annual funding goes directly to state and local health departments – and, indirectly, to many additional community-based organizations across the nation – to prevent HIV infection among those at greatest risk.\nThe awards announced today reflect CDC’s focus on a high-impact prevention approach, which prioritizes strategies that are scientifically proven, cost-effective, scalable, and targeted to the geographic areas and populations that need them most.\nNationally, CDC’s approach to HIV prevention primarily focuses on:\n- Identifying undiagnosed HIV infections through increased testing\n- Ensuring that people with HIV receive ongoing care and treatment to improve their health and reduce transmission to others\n- Ensuring those at highest risk for HIV have the knowledge and tools needed to protect themselves\nFor additional information, visit www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom.", "char_count": 5150, "token_count": 1287, "k_exact": 3.3407, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9068, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}

If you personally have any tips or insight on how to manage and get through a bullying situation, please sound off below in the Comments section.\nHow should a parent react to hearing that their child is being a bully?\nDon’t overreact! It is important to communicate with the school in an effort to address the behavior and then work collaboratively to help your child develop the skills needed to avoid bullying behaviors. Set firm limits and clear expectations with your child. Encourage them to make amends for their behavior (for example, replacing a stolen item or apologize to the target). Put into place a plan for close monitoring and supervision of the child so as to avoid future opportunities to bully. Counseling may be helpful to aid in developing more appropriate social skills, self-control, and empathy.\nWhat are some clues that your child may have been or is being bullied?\nUnexplained bruises or other injuries\nMissing items (lunch money, school supplies, personal items, etc.)\nLack of interest in school related activities\nNoted differences in sleeping, eating, and behavior patterns that are uncharacteristic of your child\nDoes not want to attend school, but offers no explanation as to why\nFrequents the nurse’s office without physical symptoms\nWhat are some tips for who kids who are being bullied?\nIf you are being bullied, it is important to tell a trusted adult so that they can help. Know that this is not your fault! It is not okay for someone to treat you this way and you don’t have to deal with this alone.\nIgnoring the bully may help, but it might not work. If it doesn’t, there are other options. Again, talking with an adult about what these options are is important.\nYou’ll want to maintain composure during a bullying incident. Don’t show the bully you are mad, sad or upset. Remember, bullying is about control and power. If the bully wants to upset you and thinks they can every time they bully you, you’ve now just proved that they have the power to manipulate you.\nMaintain self-control and confidence if you plan to respond to the bully. Practice what you might say by role-playing the situation with someone you trust.\nSurround yourself with people you care about. Find a way to meet new friends: join a club, play an instrument, try out for a sport, take a class at the library. Don’t be a loner!\nThis concludes our bullying series with Jackie Summers, Bullying Prevention Specialist for Akron Public Schools. NCES realizes that bullying will never go away, and that in the future it will mutate (just as it has to currently invade cyberspace) again and find another venue for its cruelty.

He rather focusses on his wife, Lucy (Elisabeth Shue) and daughter Jordan (Camila Morrone) who has just been accepted into college. She is also a keen soccer player, and the family show great support for each other.\nThat all changes when two gunshot victims are rushed to the hospital after being viciously attacked in their suburban home. Paul realises that the two victims are, in fact, his wife and daughter. Lucy does not survive the attack but Jordan is operated on and remains in a coma.\nThe police attend the scene of the crime in the form of detectives Kevin Raines (Dean Norris) and Leonore Jackson (Kimberly Elise) who, with perhaps a hundred unsolved murders on their books are totally impotent. But they tell Paul they will continue to search for his wife’s killers.\nWhen a criminal is delivered to the emergency room at the hospital with a gunshot wound Paul recognises the man as a valet he met recently. Putting two and two together he surreptitiously takes the dying man’s gun. Although he seems reluctant to use a weapon initially the audience knows (based on the actions of Willis’ predecessor in the role, Charles Bronson, in the 1974 movie of the same name) it is inevitable that Kersey is about to exact vengeance on his wife’s killers.\nThe movie has generated a lot of controversy in the United States where anti- and pro-gun lobbyists are still hurting over the most recent mass shooting at a school in Florida.\nHowever you feel about guns, there is no doubt most people watching the movie would sympathise (if not necessarily condone) with the actions of the distraught father and husband who was placed in this situation.\nA really good movie with plenty of graphic violence for those who, like me, enjoy a little mayhem in an action film, Death Wish will make you ask yourself what you would do the same given the same circumstances.", "char_count": 2186, "token_count": 546, "k_exact": 2.8995, "k_integer": 3, "k_label": "Mid-Complexity", "ciq_score": 0.9549, "is_high_quality": true, "source": "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb / sample-10BT"}
