Mt. Ama Dablam is popularly known as “Matterhorn of the Himalaya”, which is located in the Himalayan range of Eastern Nepal. The overhung glacial mass on the southwest face of Mt. Ama Dablam resembles a ‘Dablam’- the sacred ornament box used by Sherpa women, thus the name “Ama Dablam” or “Mother’s necklace”. Mt Ama Dablam, is located within the Khumbu region, south of Everest and Lhotse and is 6,856m/22,494ft in height. The mountain stands above the famous Tengboche Monastery traditionally visited by climbers to the region. Mt. Ama Dablam expedition provides the ultimate challenge to the world’s most technical peak.
Mt. Ama Dablam: The technical mountain
Mt. Ama Dablam is climbed from the south-western ridge which is the same route followed by the climbers of NZ, UK and US who reached the summit for the first time in 1961. Mt. Ama Dablam Expedition is a very technical endeavour thus, climbers require solid skills in ice climbing, rock climbing, adequate high altitude experience and technical prowess.
All three camps are just below the right side of the hanging glacier, or “Dablam”. We set the Ama Dablam Base Camp tents at the height of 4600m/15,088ft. Ama Dablam Base Camp is very safe from extreme weather and avalanches. From Camp 1 to Camp 2, it gets very technical because we pass through narrow edges of the ridge and climbing between and through rocks faces. Further on, the climb gets more technical and risky from Camp 2 to the Last Camp because of the high chances of falling rocks and ice debris. From The Last Camp to the summit, chances of avalanches are high and we need to climb completely on the ice surface. After summiting, we return to Camp 2.
If you possess any previous climbing experiences and wish to join contact us. You will be joining as a Himalayan Global Expedition team member to one of the world's most admired mountain, Mt. Ama Dablam.

How to Drain an Inground Swimming Pool
From AAA Pool Service
Most people don't realize that draining an inground pool can be potentially dangerous. A catastrophic accident can easily occur if a swimming pool is completely drained at an inopurtune time. Given the exorbitant rain experienced recently throughout the Country, this article is particularly important to heed.
Here is an excerpt from the post: | <urn:uuid:1508df48-065a-49ae-b726-a874742af5ba> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://platinumpoolcare.com/item/category/residential-pool-service | 2019-03-20T21:26:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202471.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190320210433-20190320232433-00212.warc.gz | en | 0.936035 | 81 |
OKLAHOMA CITY – In the wake of numerous instances of citizens being scammed by criminals claiming to be collecting money and goods for tornado victims, state Rep. Mark McBride is encouraging anyone who believes they have been the victim of fraudulent activity to contact the Attorney General's Office of Public Protection.
"Unfortunately there have been many reports of fraudulent collection of money and goods in our state that is allegedly collected for disaster relief for the storms in May," said McBride, R-Moore. "It is shameful that people concoct schemes to take advantage of the kindness of Oklahomans, but, unfortunately, this is the world we live in. We want to make sure people know how to avoid being victims and who to contact if they are."
McBride said citizens should be ready to ask questions and investigate any person or organization who attempts to solicit donations from them.
"Ask them questions about where or to whom the money or goods will go or if they have a website or identification card," said McBride. "You can also research organizations online. Legitimate non-profits will have a federal 990 form that they file with the IRS."
McBride said that citizens who believe they are being scammed should contact the Attorney General's office at 405-521-2029 immediately.
McBride also wanted to convey that there are many legitimate organizations that are collecting money and goods on behalf of disaster victims.
"There are many wonderful organizations around that are out there doing incredibly good things for our community," said McBride. "I am proud of those organizations, and their work is made easier and more effective when criminals who are doing illegitimate solicitation are exposed and prosecuted." | <urn:uuid:cd7cab32-12de-433b-9129-ea4a797005e3> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.ardmoreite.com/article/20130724/NEWS/130729911/-1/Super%20Bowl | 2017-10-22T06:45:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825147.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022060353-20171022080353-00582.warc.gz | en | 0.970078 | 342 |
The singer has released a cover of Bob Marley's classic "Redemption Song" online to benefit relief in the earthquake-stricken nation.
She performed the track on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Wednesday, telling Oprah, "I feel the people of Haiti need to hear something inspiring.
"This song, for me, any time there was a difficult situation, I always listened to this song. It's so liberating," she continued.
Rihanna will also be among the many musicians performing on the "Hope for Haiti" telethon on Friday evening, joining Jay-Z and U2's Bono and The Edge for a special performance.
All performances from the telethon will be available for purchase for charity, while still more artists are planning on doing benefit songs for the island nation – according to the Daily Mail, "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell is gathering talent for a British effort, while The Hollywood Reporter's Showbiz 411 blog reported that Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are planning a 25th anniversary re-recording of "We Are The World."

Tackling the problem head on, ISO has just published ISO 19095, a new series of standards that gives guidelines for evaluating the adhesion interface performance of plastic-metal assemblies. This is a big step as there were no international test standards on the subject and existing methods only apply to the measurement of adhesive properties between adherends of the same kind. Yet the performance of these new materials needs to be tested and assessed in an appropriate environment.
So what does the series cover? Dr. Ritsuo Iwata, Project Leader of ISO 19095, Plastics – Evaluation of the adhesion interface performance in plastic-metal assemblies, gives us an insight: “The new International Standard will provide the experimental data supporting the applicability of the test methods proposed to the evaluation of adhesion interface performance of metal-plastic assemblies.”
The methods set out in ISO 19095 are intended to ensure that the integrity of the joint is realized through the interface and that traceability of the value improves data comparison. The adhesion interface performance is tested on tensile strength, tensile shear strength, peel strength, bending strength, impact strength and sealing properties. The new suite of standards will now allow quantitative and objective evaluation as well.
“With the progress of bonding technologies, we expect to see an improvement in the strength of the whole-body structure by using high-strength plastic-metal assembly technique as well as high-strength structural adhesive technology and, as a result, lighter, thinner and higher-value-added products will be created for a wide range of applications,” enthuses Dr. Ritsuo Iwata.
ISO 19095 will help manufacturers determine the correct values, enhance the traceability of these values and improve the comparability of data between different kinds of materials. It will lead to the rapid spread of products and assembly parts made of plastics and metals into international industries, such as the automotive sector, electronics, aircraft and spacecraft, to name a few.
The ISO 19095 series of standards was developed by technical committee ISO/TC 61/SC 11 on plastic products, whose secretariat is held by JISC, ISO member for Japan. The standards can be bought from your national ISO member or through the ISO Store. | <urn:uuid:202a6b35-1cac-4cc2-bad7-855eff9d3e1c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://committee.iso.org/news/2015/09/Ref2007.html | 2020-07-04T13:11:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886121.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704104352-20200704134352-00577.warc.gz | en | 0.922025 | 458 |

Comprised of members Forest Knauff (vocals/guitar), Logan Bishop (harmonizing vocals/guitar),Austin Perkins (bass), and Kyle Misencik (drums), the band has been creating music together since 2014, and are making a name for themselves within Colorado’s eclectic music scene. In 2015, they debuted their self-titled album Coastal Wives, which was the more playful
predecessor to their 2016 release Traditions.
Coastal Wives have played with acclaimed bands such as The Shelters, Astronauts, etc., Cayucas, Trails and Ways, Holy White Hounds, Telekinesis, and The Donkeys. They’ve continued to play at well-known venues throughout the Denver area, and have made an appearance at Denver’s Underground Music Showcase.

"Denver’s ironically named indie rock foursome Coastal Wives meets youthful energy with gritty guitar-ridden angst in their latest single “Ramen.” An ode to the beloved discount noodles/college kid meal of champions, the song digs into some coming of age themes and the clumsy growing pains that come with them. The band identifies their sound as blues rock, however, the full essence of Coastal Wives is much more complicated than that. It’s easy enough to pick up on the band’s folksy influence via their meandering guitar lines, alongside a bit of an emo edge, garage fuzz, and surfy twang. Get a feel for their sound with “Ramen” below, and find the band’s full discography on their bandcamp.

“Their sound has a gentle depth to it, and haunting qualities that place you into flashbacks of the storyteller. With vocals that are just the right amount of raspy, and lyrics that you can sink your teeth into, Coastal Wives take indie rock into their own hands and bend it like putty.”
BolderBeat - 5/19/16
Dawn Raymond - Writer
“It's a kind of "love at first listen", which might be because the vocals are reminiscent of another band and another time, or it might be Coastal Wives’ heartfelt lyrics and tightly knit instrumental execution. Whatever it is, it works.”
Indie Apex - 6/25/15
“Neither coastal nor wives, Coastal Wives is a crisp sound from the Colorado music sphere. The group comes together to form your perfect outdoor summer jam, with an album that has just enough variety yet consistency to show off the array of talents and stay engaging.” | <urn:uuid:98cf3977-cc63-482c-a206-fd85199dd18b> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://coastalwives.com/about/ | 2018-12-15T22:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376827137.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20181215222234-20181216004234-00284.warc.gz | en | 0.947498 | 665 |

Optional day in Oslo
Our adventure begins with a tour of the beautiful ancient city of Oslo. Divided into two distinctive areas; Oslo, is a vibrant and expansive city of old and new. The new Oslo (albeit, still over 350 years old) was originally called Christiania and was built after a tragic fire tore down the original city in 1624. As Christiania grew and enveloped the old Oslo, the city was once again christened Oslo and has been known as such ever since. Touring through Oslo, one can clearly see a difference in the architecture between the two ages of the city. In the early 2000’s, Oslo was the fastest growing city in Europe and had a huge influx of immigration. Along the tour of this wonderful city, you will see the many cultural varieties this growth has brought.
After the city tour in Oslo we will check in to our accommodation and enjoy a delicious welcome dinner. Your guide will tell you everything you need to know about your coming arctic adventure and give you an introduction to our main attraction for the week, Aurora Borealis. The incredible arctic light show, high in the night sky, that is best observed at this time of the year.

Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie hit up Public nightclub, owned by their pal Guy Pelly, in London on Friday, emerging after the evening of partying looking like they both may have spilled drinks on themselves. It's been four weeks since Harry acted every bit the gentleman and supportive brother at Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding, and since then Harry has been getting back to his regular routine of hitting up the city's hot spots in his free time. He's Britain's most eligible bachelor at this point, and Prince Harry chatted up Charlize Theron at one of his polo matches, though he's rumored to still be going strong with Chelsy Davy. As for his brother, the newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed the Obamas to the UK earlier in the week, which marked their first official duties as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The government has approved the amount of GHC559 to be paid as monthly allowance to National Service personnel.
Payments of the upward adjustment start from April 1, management of the National Service Secretariat has said.
Acting NSS Executive Director, Ussif Mustapha, in a statement Thursday thanked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the approval.
He said this will empower service personnel to be committed in the discharge of their duties.
The NSS allowance was increased by President John Mahama in his last days in office.
The allowance was moved from GHC350 to GHC559, nearly two years since it was last increased.
Payment was scheduled to commence in January, however, it did not take place due to the failure of the previous government to factor it in the interim budget for 2017.
Service personnel threatened to march to the Flagstaff House to petition President Akufo-Addo over the delay. They accused the new government of trying to undo the achievement of the previous administration.
Mr Mustapha commended the personnel for their “patience and fruitful periodic engagements and discussions” which led to government’s approval.
“Management wishes, therefore, to urge all national service personnel to reciprocate this gesture by further committing themselves to working even harder to support the government’s effort at improving the economy. | <urn:uuid:48deb0ab-c3ba-4dd6-87f4-dfa52f6be840> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://sunshinefm.de/?p=1838 | 2018-09-26T12:34:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267164925.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180926121205-20180926141605-00193.warc.gz | en | 0.965574 | 285 |
February 27, 2008
I just wrote up some notes toward a talk at the Codework workshop at WVU. I figured I’d drop them in here, for those interested in the aesthetics of programming and the relationship of programming and creative writing.
I start with a difference between computer programming and what is traditionally called creative writing: Code has both a human meaning and a formal machine semantics, while creative writing in the usual sense has only human meaning — it cannot be compiled and executed on a computer.
By “machine semantics,” I mean that the program has a meaning because of how it runs on a machine, a computer. This idea is a commonplace of research in programming languages. A specific formulation of this type of semantics, for instance, is the operational semantics, which can be used to prove properties of programming languages. I am not claiming that the computer is a device that makes meaning for itself or that programs are meaningful to computers, only that they have this different sort of meaning because they are instructions that cause machines to operate.
In using the term “human meaning,” I am stating that a person can read a computer program and make sense of it. To do this, the person must run the program in his or her mind to some extent, simulating what the computer would do and understanding it. This relates to the program’s machine semantics. But there are also features of the program that have no meaning in terms of how the program operates, but which do signify to people. Variable names, the names of functions, subroutines, methods, labels, and so on, and comments are some of these features. The choice of a particular way of writing code when there are several equivalent options (using “while” instead of “redo” in Perl, for instance, or a more or less “Pythonic” way of doing the same thing in Python) also allows programmers to determine style and signal meaning to people.
Programs are typically read by many people. They will certainly be read by the programmer as the program is initially written, expanded, refactored, and revisited. They will be read by managers and collaborators. They will be read by people working to port the program to a new platform, package it for distribution, or fix bugs. And of course they may be read by people learning about programming or just curious about the workings of the particular program. Given this readership, the human meaning of code is not insignificant on a practical level, and programming practices have acknowledged this.
Because these two aspects are present and are particular to code, the interplay between them is particularly interesting, and, in fact, I believe it is the locus of a new type of creative writing practice in which code itself is the thing written. That is, programming does not inform creative writing or vice versa; the same activity is, completely, both a programming practice and a creative writing practice.
Here are some programming practices and a description of how they engage these two levels of meaning:
Refactoring. The process of revising a program so that it is streamlined, clear, and meets coding guidelines or “best practices.” This mainly engages the level of machine semantics, at least in most of my refactoring, but it also deals to some extent with the level of human meaning because comments may be added and the program may be reorganized for the purpose of better understanding. However, the changes being made in refactoring are usually straightforward, aimed at better engineering and adherence to standards. There may be an art of programming, but it is hard to see refactoring as an imaginative or poetic process.
Compression. This is undertaken by those participating in Perl Golf, where the object is to write a program in as few “strokes,” or keystrokes, as possible. The problem to be solved is fixed and the goal is to accomplish a solution with extreme economy in program size. This mainly engages the level of human meaning — and then, only as a side effect. Compressed programs must all do the same task, so their machine semantics must be the same, but shorter ones will often (not always) be significantly harder to understand. Analogies can be drawn to constrained writing and competitive traditions of poem-writing, but, for different reasons than with refactoring, it is difficult to see this practice as highly expressive or poetic.
Obfuscated coding. Competitors are invited to write short programs that do anything they like while making the code for these programs intentionally hard to understand. Both levels are deeply engaged, with programmers having the option to pursue unusual machine function and to cloak the human meaning of their programs in clever ways. Although making programs intentionally hard to understand is not the only interesting way to code with regard to human meaning, it is an effort that resists the usual values of elegance, simplicity, and clarity. In many of the best obfuscated programs, the visual appearance of the code relates interestingly to its fuction — in some cases, the code itself is used as data by the running program — and obfuscation is achieved both my making the program’s workings byzantine and by choosing very difficult-to-understand means of implementing these workings. Obfuscated coding is one type of programming that is a writing practice and is also highly creative. | <urn:uuid:653df2b7-1cb6-4e13-ae40-dc7717bf3a28> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | https://grandtextauto.soe.ucsc.edu/2008/02/27/imaginative-aesthetic-executable-writing/ | 2016-05-29T22:55:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049282275.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002122-00040-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969383 | 1,096 |

- ICT, Science education
Nowadays, the digital technology is a wildly use in education. There are many educational proposes from ICT such as teaching, learning, assessment and evaluating. Science is one of the problematic knowledge about nature, phenomena, substance, theory, and law. Also, it concerns in science process skill practice and attitude toward science. This study is to analyze what is the properly ICT using in the science classroom. The main ideas of how to apply ICT at any stage of teaching explain in term of technology and pedagogical content knowledge for teachers and the learning process for students. The summarise is help the facilitator to categorize ICT and choose the right one to implement in all aspect of the classroom.

A team led by Ian Wong of Caltech have announced observations of the hot Jupiters WASP-19b and HAT-P-7b, looking at infra-red light using the Spitzer Space Telescope. By observing the planets around their entire orbit they detect the transit, caused by the planet passing in front of the host star, the secondary eclipse, when the planet passes behind the star, and the “phase curve” caused by the changing visibility of the heated face of the planet.
The figure shows the infra-red light (“heat”) of the WASP-19 system in two pass bands (3.6 microns and 4.5 microns). The middle panels are expanded to show the phase curve, while the lowest panels show the residuals about a fitted model (the red line).
By fitting all three features, the authors can constrain the temperatures of the “day time” heated face of the planet (which faces towards us near the secondary eclipse) and of the “night time” face of the planet (which faces us near transit). From there they can estimate the “recirculation”, how efficient the planet is at redistributing heat from the day-time face to the night-time face.
Such short-period planets are phase-locked by tidal forces, and so always present the same face to the star. Thus redistribution of heat energy requires powerful winds circling the planet.
An interesting plot by Wong et al shows the recirculation in different hot Jupiters against the albedo (the fraction of energy that is reflected).
There appear to be two groups of hot Jupiters: ones with albedos near 0.4, such as WASP-19b, and ones with much lower albedos, such as WASP-14b and WASP-18b. So far there is no simple explanation for this difference.
Further, the recirculation efficiency also appears to be different in different systems. Wong et al suggest that the hot Jupiters experiencing the highest irradiation, such as WASP-19b, are least efficient at redistributing heat, while
longer-period, less-irradiated hot Jupiters such as HD209458b and HD189733b are better at redistribution. | <urn:uuid:5d3f9386-1aa7-415a-b393-8acb6aa6d0bf> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://wasp-planets.net/2016/01/04/energy-recirculation-in-the-hot-jupiter-wasp-19b/ | 2018-11-17T02:19:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743248.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117020225-20181117042225-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.923674 | 490 |
Over the holidays I picked up two of the limited edition L’oreal Paris Collection Exclusive Pure Red Lipsticks and I fell a little bit in love. After reaching for those lipsticks over and over again, I thought I would finally try out the original Collection Privee Nude Lipsticks that started the whole craze.
The Collection Privee Lipsticks were inspired by L’oreal’s best selling line of True Match foundation, concealer and powder. L’oreal was one of the very first drugstore brands to recognize the need for a greater shade range at an affordable price and over the years their line has expanded to include the most variations of undertone and colour combinations available. L’oreal realized how massively successful their True Match line was and decided to release a line of nude lipsticks inspired by 6 of their spokeswomen including – Julianne Moore, Doutzen Krouse, J-Lo, Eva Longoria, Freida Pinto and Liya Kebede. These 6 lipsticks are designed to flatter and highlight the complexion and preferences of their respective poster girl. They offer the “perfect” nude lip for each of these complexions and the subtle differences between each shade make them suitable for all skintones from very fair to very deep.
Of the 6 lipsticks, I chose the two lightest offerings – Doutzen and Julianne. The lipsticks themselves are absolutely stunning, two beautiful pinky nude tones in gorgeous matte black tubes with gold accents and accompanying signatures. Both lipsticks are on the sheer side with more of a glossy sheen and light wash of colour. Doutzen is a pale, slightly frosty baby pink and Julianne is the perfect everyday “my lips but better” pinky nude. They glide on well with only a little bit of bunching on dry skin and they feel quite nice and subtly hydrating. Lasting power is not the best at 2 -3 hrs but for a lipstick that doesn’t require much effort to apply, that’s more than satisfactory. Overall, I quite like the Collection Privee lipsticks, they come in a shade for everyone and are the perfect everyday throw on and go lipstick.

Old School WWF Legend “Magnificent” Don Muraco celebrates his 69th birthday today.
At times also referred to as “The Rock” Don Muraco, he was under World Wrestling Federation contract from 1981 till 1988.
Most Old School fans will certainly remember the series of skits he and his manager Mr. Fuji did, that aired on WWF Tuesday Night Titans (WWF TNT), called “FUJI VICE”, a parody of the legendary 80s crime series Miami Vice.
In 2004, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by fellow WWF legend Mick Foley.

By Mark Davis
It’s not as lonely as you’d think up here behind the picket fence. Many have gathered on this unrealistic grassy knoll and, if I didn’t know better, I’d say they were willing me to shoot. Aim low and true, back and to the left…
I can’t speak for the others who find themselves here, but I can say why I ended up looking through a crosshair as a motorcade moves slowly from the safety of Euston onto Elm and then approaches me along a devastating Dealey Plaza.
He is good. He is really, really good. He’s tearing us apart. I’m sat at the top of the Main Stand at Valley Parade in awestruck silence. It’s a cold late December afternoon and Rochdale are playing some of the best football I’ve seen in League Two. Four brilliant goals in 40 odd first-half minutes have arrived thanks to a fluidity of movement and speed with the ball that I’m no longer used to seeing in the hoofball league. Most away sides come here with five across the middle and hope to frustrate us. Not this Rochdale side.
They are hugely impressive this afternoon and there is one man at the centre of almost everything they are doing. He’s commanding the middle of the park and springing up everywhere. His touch is great, but his awareness and precision of pass is destroying us. Who on earth is their number 7? He’s just what we need.
Who is he? Jason Kennedy.
I am thrilled when he signs for us several months later. My mind recalls that late December afternoon and I can’t wait to see him play alongside the combative leadership of Gary Jones; to see him read the game as well as Nathan Doyle. He’s probably Championship quality, so he’s going to be just the improvement we need to compete in League One. Exciting times.
Who is he? Because that is not Jason Kennedy.
It’s now a cold afternoon in January. I’m stood looking on in disbelief at a first half display from a City side I do not recognise. The faces are familiar, but that’s it. Bramall Lane sees over 3,000 of us in attendance; testimony to the belief bestowed in us by the on-field and off-field events of 2013; testimony to our joy at being a league higher for the first time in over a decade; testimony to the faith the vast majority of us have in what Phil Parkinson is building at our club. The new culture of positivity he’s created is breath-taking when set against those suffocating days in League Two.
But this first half is genuinely shocking and we are playing some of the worst football I’ve seen for a long time. We have no shape, no structure, players are chasing the same ball, or losing the same player, leaving so much space in the middle of the park it’s frightening.
Seeing Gary Jones look around him at team-mates hiding on the pitch, misplacing easy passes and shirking tackles (that’s you Mark Yeates) is just heart-breaking. New signing Aaron McLean turns away and shakes his head, as Yeates decides against challenging for a 50/50 ball out wide and the Blades break on us yet again. We’re already 2-0 down and by the end of this we could be onto a real hiding that will de-moralise us even further.
As I reflect on that first half, although he is by no means the only one under-performing, there is one man at the centre of almost everything we are doing wrong. He’s all over the place, but not in a good way, either tracking the wrong man or giving up tracking the right man. His touch has deserted him, only dimly aware of what he’s meant to be doing. At one point he seems to jockey an opponent, only to unfathomably step aside and allow the Blades man to charge past him.
His indecision is destroying us, none more so than when he makes no attempt to clear the ball from our goal-line as the Blades score a second. He’s simply in the way as McLaughlin tries to get a hand to it. He should have attacked the ball positively so that our ‘keeper isn’t needed. It’s his post, after all, and schoolkids know you always take charge if it’s your post.
Who is he? Despite myself, it is Jason Kennedy.
So, this is how I find myself stood on the grassy knoll. There are plenty of others gathered here. It hurts to be stood here and I can’t conceive of us actually going through with it… assassinating Kennedy is never, ever justified. Surely? But as I stand here, I can’t shake the thought that – for all the talk of Davies and Wells over the last 15 odd games of decline – it’s undoubtedly our midfield that has struggled.
Our midfield is too easy to play against. Attack us with any pace through the middle and we’ll crumble; if we do win it back, we’ll bypass that same midfield with a high-ball to Hanson, or a wide-ball for someone (anyone) to chase.
Right across the middle everyone is seemingly undroppable, but for the wrong reasons. Who’s going to replace them? I don’t believe that Parkinson can’t see this too. He knew this was going to be a problem and he addressed it. He signed proven quality in Yeates, De Vita, and Kennedy. And they are badly letting him down. And that hurts too.
He was meant to be a big solution to this – the brilliant Jason Kennedy from Rochdale. His guile, tenacity and precise football intended to complement Jones and Doyle. Yet not since the dark days of Darren Morgan have I seen a midfielder wander around in the City shirt allowing games to pass them by so inexplicably.
The motorcade is right in front of me now, and it seems there’s plenty of people stood around me who think it’s time to fire the metaphorical bullet and call time on his controversial term in office.
I’m holding fire, hoping that a glowing performance will come forward, remind us of why he was elected, and we can pack up the countless rifles that have seemingly gathered here and simply walk away.
I don’t want to go through with it, but it is now time to talk me down…

When you expand to foreign markets, you expect growth in website traffic, a new base of customers, and finally, an increase in sales. What if none of this is happening, despite your efforts? Let’s talk about a few ways that will help you improve your localization strategy and really nail your global conquest.
#1. Review your content
Remember that not all of the elements of your brand might be suitable for everyone and any region. If you want to improve your localization strategy, you need to analyze the research results of your targeted audiences and make sure to adapt the content for localization accordingly.
If you translated everything without checking up on your content first, start over with a research on your target market. Reviewing your content may include UI changes, changing paragraphs of text, or even excluding some content and images which may be considered offensive in a certain area.
#2. Hire local professionals
When translating into another language, trust local professional translators and native speakers. For example, if you are translating from English to Spanish, but the target market is Ecuador, a local translator from Ecuador will have a better understanding of the culture and local customs than a translator from Spain. Marketing campaigns that are targeted to one specific region often cannot be applied to a different country without adjusting it.
#3. Don’t just translate, localize
Ignoring the local culture and failing to understand customs in certain regions may have a catastrophic impact on your marketing campaign. Whether you translate marketing materials or an app or website, localization requires adapting this product to the target audience and not only translating it.
Improving your localization strategy and localizing the content the right way includes the research on your target audience, language variation, and the culture. By doing this, you will avoid loss of potential customers, rejection of products in certain regions, reduced revenue and even eventual legal charges in some countries.
#4. Review translations, the proper way
The internal review can really improve your localization strategy by adding a tremendous amount of value to the translated content. However, let’s not forget that an internal translation review is not simply a quick check-up of a translated content.
An in-country reviewer must make sure that the translation represents your company in the local market and properly reflects all specific aspects and nuances of your products and services. Every advanced translation solution should offer a dedicated editor for in-country review tasks. This is the case at Text United, where the reviewing process is made extremely easy.
#5. Don’t forget about SEO translation
SEO translation deals with translating not only what the human eye can read, but also what search engines like Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and others see. These invisible texts need to be carefully treated, making sure to properly adapt and optimize them according to your target market.
In fact, translating website keywords usually require transcreation instead of translation, which means that the localization expert needs to transfer the meaning of a certain term to another language while maintaining its intent, style, tone, and context.

This is our busiest time of year. With so many games launching at the same time, it’s hectic to get all our reviews out on time. However, even during these busy times, we somehow make time to play on our handheld devices, if only while sitting on the throne. Here’s how we occupy those few moments of downtime.
Despite his miserly tendencies, Darryn has a secret – he loves slot games. It’s fake gambling, which is probably the best form. He has a range of games that he plays, almost all of them with a lucky 7 in the title. However, his favorite is Hit it Rich from Zynga. From The Wizard of Oz to Terminator, these are some of the most popular games that you can get on mobile. Just be careful of the “mium” in Freemium – there are in-app purchases that can easily drain your wallet.
Geoff claims that he isn’t playing anything at the moment, but considering the fact that he keeps rubbing his high scores in my face, I know it’s a lie. Geoff is actually playing Threes – a game I adored that only costs $2. It could be the music, or the unique puzzling nature of the game, but it’s addictive and fun and I’d highly recommend it. Also, Geoff’s high score is 62427. He must be lying, right?
Gavin: Logos Quiz
In what sounds like the lamest game out there, Gavin has been playing Logos Quiz. Guess the names of hundreds of logos from different companies, until they run out, it seems. I’d much rather do the Logo quizzes on Quizzup, but I suppose that’s just me. No judgement for Gavin’s way of life.
Our tallest Porra says he isn’t playing on his mobile much at the moment. Instead, he’s making use of his handheld devices, alternating between his Vita with MGS3 and his 3DS with Super Smash Bros. Considering how much he loved SSB, I guess I’m not too surprised that he’s still playing it.
Alessandro has also been playing Threes in his spare time, but he is far less successful at the game. While I also don’t come close to Geoff’s high score, Sandy’s is quite sad – he wouldn’t give me the exact figure, but he estimated it was about 1700. That makes my high score of 22 800 seem way better. I also find I play way better on iPad than iPhone – anyone else have this with games across their mobile devices?
Zoe: Cook, Serve, Delicious!
I blame this squarely on Geoff. I normally use my tablet for Kindle reading, playing tower defense games, playing threes or checking twitter when I have a few minutes to kill. However, after mentioning my love of Cook, Serve, Delicious! on Steam, Geoff said that he only ever played it on iPad. I had never played it with touch before, and the game was certainly built for it. If you have a mobile device and are prepared to confront your OCD, you need to play the best restaurant simulator out there. Plus, it only cost me R60.
Any of these choices surprise you? What casual games fill your time?

17 Oct A Molewa’s Kitchen recipe: Gluten free beetroot and kohlrabi tart with goats cheese and kale pesto
This recipe was provided by Molewa’s Kitchen in our recent FaithfulFood Challenge.
This is my absolute favorite recipe for a pastry crust. I use it for a variety of sweet, as well as savory dishes; apple pie, tarts or quiches. Whereas the sweet version requires 100 grams of icing sugar, the savory version does well with some rosemary and parsley. Now, the exciting part about this recipe is that it doesn’t matter whether you use gluten-free all-purpose flour or ordinary cake flour.
I prefer to stay away from wheat and therefore like to opt for wheat- or gluten-free. I like to mix my own gluten-free all-purpose flour though because I can be sure to know what’s in it and secondly it’s just so much fun making use of all these fabulous gluten-free flours and starches that are out there. Just forget all your fears about gluten-free baking and let’s play.
Here’s the golden rule: 40% whole-grain gluten-free flours (millet-flour, chickpea flour, brown rice flour buckwheat flour etc.), mixed with 60% white starches (white rice flour, potato starch, corn-starch, tapioca starch etc.)
Nut flours or seed flours belong to a different category, they are oily, work differently and cannot be used for every purpose. Hence, let’s forget about them when making a classic gluten-free all-purpose flour for a shortcrust.
What you need to make 1kg of gluten-free all-purpose flour
300 g of tapioca starch
300 g of potato starch
200 g of millet flour
200 g of brown rice flour
*shake well and keep in an airtight container in a dark and dry place
for savory shortcrust
500 g of homemade gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 eggs (I use pasture-reared eggs from Usana Farm)
Small handful of chopped rosemary and parsley
Dash of ethically sourced full-fat milk
250 g of butter
*whatever is left over, keep wrapped in cling-wrap in your freezer
Filling for 2 tarts
1 kg finely sliced beetroot ( I source mine from my local vegetable farmer Comrade Carrot)
500 g finely slices kohlrabi (I source mine from the ERF 81 market at Tyisa Nabanye)
200 g goats feta
100 g locally sourced grass-fed labneh
Organic Black Cumin Seeds to sprinkle
Crede Organic Olive Oil to drizzle
To make the savoury shortcrust
1. Sieve flour over a large clean surface, add cubes of cold butter and herbs.
2. Mix the eggs and milk in a separate bowl.
3. Knead the butter into the flour as if you are trying to make crumbles.
4. Once everything is crumbly add your liquid mixture and knead gently while forming a ball.
5. Dust ball with a little bit of extra flour, wrap in cling wrap and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
6. Then roll out and fit into your oven dish or spring-form. Here I have used enamel pans, befitting the style of this lunch.
To make the filling
I have a fantastic and simple recipe for a fragrant kale pesto here, which I love to use a lot for all sorts of occasions. The only thing that I did different today was that I used toasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds instead of nuts and olive oil. Each time, I make it by hand, as I find using the mortar and pestle meditative. For this recipe, I mixed a big spoon full with a generous dash of ethically sourced labneh from the Camphill Village. Now, I smeared the inside with a thick layer of this creamy mixture to add a lovely herby flavour to my tart. | <urn:uuid:b3499074-6f6c-4309-8281-3e217999f54c> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.faithful-to-nature.co.za/blog/molewas-kitchen-recipe-gluten-free-beetroot-kohlrabi-tart-goats-cheese-kale-pesto/ | 2021-04-15T23:38:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038088264.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20210415222106-20210416012106-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.888982 | 864 |

If you notice, the aircraft is painted Tactical Grey, the purpose of which is to subdue the aircraft in both daylight and nighttime...if you missed a part or two, you risk creating a contrast point, thus making you visible
It seems like many USAF aircraft became Tactical Grey around the time of Desert Storm, and never went back Before that, stateside (non-fighter) aircraft tended to wear the classical USAF colors-light grey on the bottom, white on top, yellow cheat line, with the stars and bars in color (and all paint was glossy). Aircraft stationed in Europe tended to get green camoflage, and sometimes stateside transports would get camo schemes for war game exercises.

Panorama Ed Social-Emotional Learning Platform Adds Student Reports
Panorama Education, a company known for its survey platform and educator resources, has introduced a new feature to its online platform that assesses social-emotional learning (SEL) growth for individual students.
New student SEL reports offer actionable insights into individual student progress, enabling teachers to personalize instruction and students to take charge of their learning. Image Credit: Panorama Ed.
The Panorama for Social-Emotional Learning online platform offers SEL assessments and data analytics to schools and districts, focusing on three areas: student competencies; student supports and environment; and teacher skills and perspectives. It launched last year, according to the Panorama Ed blog post announcement, and thousands of schools have been using the platform’s data analytics tools to measure SEL progress among students at the school and district levels.
Now, the company has launched student SEL reports, which provide actionable information and insights for each student, so that educators can give individualized support to students.
“As districts turn to better data to personalize academic instruction, Panorama’s student social-emotional learning reports enable principals, teachers and counselors to ensure each student is getting appropriate, personalized support around social-emotional learning skills, such as grit, growth mindset, social awareness and self-management,” according to the blog post.
Reports can be developed for online and print. Students can also track their SEL growth on the platform, taking control of their own social-emotional learning.

The movie starring Alia Bhatt and Shahrukh Khan in the lead role movie is now in theaters. Gauri Shinde directs dear Zindagi. The character of Alia Bhatt plays a role of a dubbing director, “Kiara”. According to Kiara, her dream job is totally out of her reach, she is stuck in a rut, her landlord asks her to leave her apartment, which is in Mumbai as they think single women shouldn’t be allowed to live alone. Even her love life is also in a mess. Her parents are based in Goa. Kiara is very much like so many of us like right after breakup when a guy leaves you for no reason but just because of some other girl and you again continue with your life as if nothing ever happened but in case of Kiara she faces problems while sleeping and so she takes a break for a month in Goa from her busy schedule. On her break time she reaches to the doorsteps of Dr. Jehangir Khan i.e. Jug character played by Shah Rukh Khan for a therapy at his mental health awareness gathering. His way of dealing with the people suffering from mental health, issues surprise Kiara. Alia plays an affable Kiara role. The film is all about living life happily with the problems and dealing them without worrying about bad situations. Alia can only portray the rawness of a women’s life aside from all this her character in this film gives a major sense of déjà vu comparing to the last bit of her screen timing same as Highway. The film has nothing much new too many scenes are very much familiar with repressed feelings, the letting goes message etc. Shah Rukh Khan played his inimitable charm; he knows when to bring Alia as a lead and when to step ahead. The supporting cast includes Kunal Kapoor, Angad Bedi, Ali Zafar and Yash was in Dayama they all did their job well.
Director Gauri Shinde has done quite a decent job with this film. Her first film English Vinglish left an unforgettable impression and that film might not have left you with a smile or tears. Therefore, expecting too much from Shinde after her first film was obvious. The film could have been better from being much like a protagonist who is stuck in a trench. Songs are quite breezy by Amit Trivedi as his music is lighter. Looking at the shots of the film, he did very job by staying tuned with the way of film. The song loves you zingadi is a likable brain worm.
It’s a one time watch movie. Watch this film for Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan’s onscreen friendship. The movie will take you on an emotional journey but will end up as a joyride which will not cost you any harm to watch it once.
Dear Zindagi movie cast:
Alia Bhatt, Shah Rukh Khan, Yashwasini Dayama, Ira Dubey, Kunal Kapoor, Ali Zafar, Angad Bedi

Measure the communication ability of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who have no or limited speech
Nancy Brady led the team that produced a beta version of the Communications Complexity Scale (CCS) in 2012. The CCS is a unique measure for researchers and clinicians to assess the communication status of children and adults with disabilities as diverse as autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, deaf-blindness and cerebral palsy, including those who are nonverbal or have very limited speech.
This year Brady received support from NIH to take the promising measure to the next level over five years. She will be collaborating with LSI assistant scientist Kandace Fleming, LSI assistant research professor Kathy Thiemann-Bourque and Connie Kasari, professor of psychological studies in education of the UCLA Center for Autism Research and Training to hone the validity of the CCS.
“With current measures, an intervention could make a big difference in an individual’s social communication, but that would never show up in the data if an individual wasn’t talking yet, said Brady. “The CCS may be able to show progress much earlier.”
The CCS is based on well-established “presymbolic” stages of communication development in typically developing children from birth, beginning with an infant crying or smiling, followed by eye gaze, gesturing and vocalizing directed at another person, to using “symbolic” communication, typically, spoken words.
Brady says that clinicians and family members sometimes give up on people who are nonverbal making any progress after early childhood. “But it is not unusual for someone to start doing new things as an adult when they have a need to communicate.”
The CCS may also be able to measure degeneration in communication as in the case of individuals with Down syndrome who start aging early.
“The CCS will help clinicians describe an individual’s current communication status, much like the Rancho Los Amigos Scale does for people with traumatic brain injury,” Brady said. “Then, appropriate therapies can be selected based on that level.” | <urn:uuid:72311248-12e6-4ba6-8cbf-2dc8f9ea3e0b> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://lsi.ku.edu/news/measure-the-communication-ability-of-people-with-intellectual-and-developmental-disabilities | 2021-01-25T23:16:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704792131.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125220722-20210126010722-00389.warc.gz | en | 0.950209 | 438 |

WHAT IS THE OOA?
In the Spring of 1974 a seed was planted, which would grow and turn into one of Denmark's most tenacious grassroots movements. Since then there were anti-nuclear marches from Stevns and Gylling NĘs (2 out of 15 locations reserved for the building of nuclear power stations). Hundreds of thousands of smiling suns have in the form of badges and stickers said firmly, but friendly: "NUCLEAR POWER? - NO THANKS". Leaflets to the Danish people, "Denmark without nuclear power", distributed by voluntaries, were sent through the letterboxes of every Danish home in the Winter of 1979/80. There were marches against Barseb”ck, the Swedish nuclear power station situated only 20 km from Copenhagen, the Danish capital. Such activities have characterized the OOA as a popular and effective movement being independent of party politics. Several people believe that OOA activities have indeed been instrumental in increasing the opposition to nuclear power so that we do not have nuclear power stations in Denmark today.
The Movement on Energy and Environment - OOA was originally called The Organization for Information on Nuclear Power, the objective of which has been all along to encourage:
- a critical assessment and information about all the problems connected with the use of nuclear power
- an increase in research in other forms of energy and a renewed assessment of these alternatives
- the drawing up of a long-term energy policy, being socially and ecologically justifiable.
The OOA is registered as an organization. The OOA has local groups and contact persons spread all over the country. There are two national congresses every year. "The national congress" constitutes the supreme authority of the OOA. The work of the OOA is dependent on voluntary work and on economic contributions from many individuals.
HOW DOES THE OOA WORK?
Through the publication of leaflets, preparation of documentation materials, direct, non-violent actions, exhibitions, lectures, hearings, reader's letters, distribution of information material, etc. the Movement on Energy and Environment - OOA emphasizes a broad, popular information on energy and environmental questions.
The OOA has from the very beginning emphasized the establishment and the running of a comprehensive public library on energy and environmental problems. This library embraces 18,000 Danish and foreign books, documents, reports and pamphlets, including a big selection of magazines from all over the world.
WHAT IS THE OOA BUSY DOING RIGHT NOW?
The work in the OOA has in the past few years above all been influenced by the break-down of the Wall between East and West. We have especially concentrated our work on the problems with the old nuclear power stations in Eastern Europe and the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe in 1986, which is now clearly making itself felt. However, also the work involved in dealing with problems with our "radiating neighbours" has monopolized the major part of our resources. In the past year the OOA has been especially busy dealing with problems on the Barseb”ck nuclear power station.
PROBLEMS WITH NUCLEAR POWER IN EASTERN EUROPE AND WESTERN "AID"
The Danish press has especially dealt with the serious problems on East European nuclear power stations, notably the problems with nuclear reactors of the Chernobyl-type (the so-called RBMK reactors), such as the Ignalina situated in Lithuania. There has been much talk about how to solve these serious problems.
Even the most advanced and costliest attempts to improve the safety on these reactors, all situated in Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania, will not make them safe as the reactors are fundamentally malfunctioning due to engineering errors. It is therefore irresponsible to point at safety improvements as a solution to the threat which these reactors constitute for the whole of the European population. The only responsible thing to do is to close them down as soon as possible. With extensive West European economic and technical/scientific aid, the countries in question should thus be obliged to make decommission plans for that type of reactors. The East European countries have vast potentials for technical energy saving measures and enormous resources of bio fuels and natural gas. Plans should be worked out at once together with the requisite safety improvements, both in technical and manpower terms, on the reactors pending their closure.
The OOA has repeatedly urged the Danish Government and Parliament to put pressure on the governments in Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania to stop all future operation of these nuclear power stations. Simultaneously, we have urged our Government to see to it that efforts be made to find, in an international context, an integrated, sustainable solution to the energy problems in the East European countries.
In the OOA we are very much aware of the development which is now taking place in Eastern Europe. Various East European groups being critical toward nuclear power but lacking information about the problems of Western nuclear technology, keep contacting us. It is a problem for them that the Western nuclear industry is currently doing a lot of fierce lobbying in order to penetrate the East European energy market. Therefore, the sensible energy and environmental groups have difficulties in getting through with information about alternative, sustainable energy solutions. This work is high on the agenda in the OOA.
Ever since the Chernobyl catastrophe in May 1986, information work about the consequences of the catastrophe has been high on the OOA agenda.
Many victims from the Chernobyl catastrophe today need help and recognition of the injuries and problems with which they have been afflicted. Collecting and publishing information internationally, critical analytical work and identification of the long term effects of the catastrophe would help these victims to achieve recognition of their injuries, to get medical treatment, recreation or being evacuated, and to obtain the money damages to which they are entitled.
The OOA has therefore chosen to give the information work about the Chernobyl catastrophe high priority. The chief tasks of the OOA in this Chernobyl work is to act as an intermediary as far as information is concerned, both between the earlier Soviet and Denmark, and within Denmark, to collect and systematize information about the catastrophe and the ensuing consequences, to make analytical work, coordinate initiatives in progress and participate in the establishment of an international contact net.
In the OOA we hope that the experience from the Chernobyl catastrophe will act as an eyeopener for the responsible politicians all over the world and help them realize that nuclear power is not any acceptable source of energy.
OOA's campaign work in the past few years is based on the experience stemming from Chernobyl. It is while bearing Chernobyl in mind that we approach the Danish emergency force and politicians saying: "It does not suffice that we succeeded in avoiding nuclear power in Denmark, because within a distance of 150 km from Denmark there are six nuclear power stations. These power stations constitute a direct, serious threat to the Danes. No matter how many emergency plans are worked out, they will not protect the population adequately in the case of nuclear accidents. The only responsible thing to do is to request that Denmark's "radiating neighbours" close down!
The Swedish nuclear power station Barseb”ck is on top of the list as it is closest to Denmark and only situated 20 km from Copenhagen. The debate about Barseb”ck and Swedish nuclear power has flared up again in the last years. The OOA has worked very intensively with Barseb”ck since September 1992 when it became known that the emergency cooling system in the two reactors of the Barseb”ck power station had engineering errors. To our mind, we have contributed in launching this debate, which has persisted and been taken seriously. Moreover, we have seen to it that the Danish politicians have taken the matter seriously. Many initiatives are still ongoing, several possibilities have still not been tried out, and arguments are still being elaborated. But the most important thing is that the Swedish government is still being pressurized to close down Barseb”ck. There is every reason to resent that the Swedish government ignores the request on the part of the Danish government and 73 per cent of the Danish population to close down Barseb”ck immediately.
The leading principle of the Movement of Energy and Environment - OOA is the conviction that things can work out if you make an effort in the right direction - and the campaign against nuclear power in Denmark is a good example of that. But we still have other tasks to accomplish.

...thin frost layers.
All over the image, dark dunes and dune fields can be found, in some areas covered by a thin frost layer. Interestingly, the fields follow a yardang-like morphology indicating the prevalent wind directions, influenced by the morphology of the surface. The provenance of the dark material on Mars is still poorly understood. It is believed that it derives from ancient buried layers of volcanic eruption materials. It can be found globally all over Mars. In some regions, individual dark spots can be found in the image. These spots could be a hint at another distribution process of dark material, specific to polar areas on Mars: CO2 jets formed by sublimation beneath translucent ice slabs that then eject geyser-like fountains of dark dust. Constant monitoring of these zones helps to understand the processes that steadily alter the appearance of the surface in the polar regions on Mars. | <urn:uuid:e031900a-ac92-45b6-adac-960d7d8fb49e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.geo.fu-berlin.de/en/geol/fachrichtungen/planet/presse/2022_Ultimi_Scopuli/_content/faq_text/part4.html | 2023-12-11T02:05:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103464.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211013452-20231211043452-00404.warc.gz | en | 0.893433 | 183 |

Supergrip (UK) Ltd have completed a number of projects for the design and manufacture of dynamic and static bend stiffeners for major cable manufactuers both in the UK and Europe.
All products were designed in-house by our Orcina trained engineers to determine the bend stiffener profile and the internal interface adaptors were subjected to Finite Element Analysis.
Following a formally controlled manufacturing procedure each stiffener was then subjected to bend testing on our in-house test machines which are capably of providing load test results for static systems and cycle testing of the dynamic alternative.
Darren Blackburn, Supergrip director stated “Bend stiffeners, both dynamic and static, are proving to be a core product of our business. The industry has experienced problems with insert pull-out and it is critical that this component is designed correctly to ensure long term design life of the product. We pride ourselves on our technical and manufacturing response as well as thorough product testing prior to offshore installation. As an example we successfully won and executed one project on a bespoke design as we had the capability of supplying 4-off units within 3 weeks, something our client was unable to achieve with other manufacturers”. | <urn:uuid:78320b4f-53a6-45be-97ac-ef72606dab57> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.supergripuk.com/supergrip-uk-deliver-a-range-of-dynamic-and-static-bend-stiffeners/ | 2021-05-11T19:20:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989856.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210511184216-20210511214216-00582.warc.gz | en | 0.961396 | 241 |
If the Republican party does not change it risks extinctionby Diane Roberts / February 22, 2012 / Leave a comment
At the 1858 Illinois state Republican convention, Abraham Lincoln declared: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” He was, of course, speaking of the rift between the slave states and the free states, the South and the North, which three years later ignited the bloodiest conflict in American history. While the United States is certainly not heading for another civil war, the long and increasingly nasty presidential election of 2012 reveals deep dissonance within America’s political parties and American society itself.
The Republican party used to be unified and disciplined. This year the contest over who will be nominated to stand against Barack Obama has been anything but gentlemanly. The New York Times calculated that in the week before the Florida primary on 31st January, 92 per cent of the political adverts were negative. Newt Gingrich charged Mitt Romney and his company, Bain Capital, with destroying jobs. Romney lambasted Gingrich for lobbying on behalf of the troubled federal mortgage guarantor “Freddie Mac.” Running to the right of both Gingrich and Romney, former senator Rick Santorum blasted his rivals for failing to see that America’s problems are moral as much as economic, while the Texas Congressman Ron Paul blamed the whole apparatus of government for the nation’s ills and his rivals for being part of that apparatus. The “super-PACs,” which can raise unlimited money for a candidate as long they don’t co-ordinate directly with his campaign, were much more vicious in their adverts. They reminded voters of Gingrich’s serial adultery, Romney’s rich boy gaffes (“I’m not concerned about the very poor”), Ron Paul’s newsletters (which prophesied “race war”) and Santorum’s support for big spending bills in Congress. The Republican candidates for president are so busy accusing each other of violating various of the Ten Commandments that they’ve forgotten Ronald Reagan’s famous Eleventh: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”
The Democrats, on the other hand, have never been renowned for discipline and unity. As humorist Will Rogers once said, “I belong to no organised political party: I am a Democrat.” With an incumbent president as the undisputed candidate in 2012, you’d think Democrats would be solidly together, ready to give Barack Obama a second term. But the Occupy Wall Street movement has exposed disaffection on the left, especially amongst the twenty-somethings who were so enthusiastic about Obama in 2008. While they direct most of their ire toward the big banks and corporations, which they see as crippling American opportunity, they are also unhappy with Obama’s cosiness with corporations, his approval of offshore oil drilling and relaxation of air pollution rules, and his continuation of George W Bush’s draconian terrorism policies. Some Jewish voters, usually reliable progressives, think Obama is insufficiently pro-Israel, and some Roman Catholic Democrats are upset with his healthcare program, especially his recent ruling that hospitals and educational institutions owned by the church must provide contraception as part of their employee insurance package. Latinos are unhappy over record-high deportations and Obama’s failure to enact immigration reform. Even some African Americans, who had been the president’s most reliable base, grumble that he has forgotten them. Most are not as miffed as the African-American Princeton professor Cornel West, who called Obama “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs,” but they are disappointed that he has not done more to address the needs of the working class which may not bode well for voter turnout in November.
Six months ago, everyone thought this election would be about the economy. Unemployment was at close to 10 per cent and Barack Obama couldn’t seem to do anything about it. Mitt Romney, a successful Republican businessman who had such crossover appeal he’d once been governor of the notoriously liberal state of Massachusetts, would be the nominee, the Chamber of Commerce-approved safe pair of hands to lift America out of recession. Now rising job rates and increasing consumer confidence have robbed mainstream Republicans of their strongest issue. So they’ve revived an old favourite: the culture wars. But all they’re doing is splintering the party.
Newt Gingrich, a veteran of the ugly battles over social issues in the 1990s when he was Speaker of the House of Representatives (he once called Bill Clinton the “enemy of normal Americans”) represents the rage-fuelled Tea Party faction. They despise “elites”—Ivy League graduates, coast-dwelling readers of the New York Times, travellers to Europe (Gingrich ran a campaign advert slamming Romney for speaking French). The Rick Santorum-Michelle Bachmann contingent is militantly evangelical, obsessed with forbidding gay marriage, restoring the “traditional” family, and banning abortion under any circumstances. Santorum has said he’d like states to have the power to outlaw contraception. Ron Paul and his libertarian brigade loathe government so much their goal is, as anti-tax activist Grover Norquist once said, to shrink it down so small you could “drown it in the bath tub.”
None of this bodes well for Romney, who has two degrees from Harvard, sponsored the Massachusetts healthcare plan on which Obama based his national scheme, and on abortion, used to be pro-choice. He tried to address the charge that he is one of those despised “moderates,” a RINO (Republican in name only), in a speech at February’s Conservative Political Action Committee, insisting he was not merely conservative but “severely conservative.”
Nor is the party’s demographic future looking good. Republicans are overwhelmingly white, older, male and Southern. African Americans and Latinos make up only about 11 per cent of the party and Republicans have done little to appeal to them; indeed, the Republican party has been alienating minority groups ever since Ronald Reagan raised the inflammatory (and false) image of “welfare queens” driving Cadillacs to collect their dole money. Republican-controlled states such as Alabama and Arizona have passed stringent laws allowing police and other authorities to demand Latinos prove they’re in the country legally. Latinos, not surprisingly, resent Republicans’ depiction of them as interlopers who will dilute “American culture,” never mind that Latinos were America’s first European immigrants, never mind that their numbers are booming in traditional Republican strongholds such as Texas. Latinos are the fastest-growing segment of the population: the US Census Bureau projects that they will be in the majority by 2050. Outside of the still-loyal Cuban exiles in Florida (though younger Cubans increasingly say they’re Democrats or Independents), Latinos are registering as Democrats. It may be that the determination to beat Obama at all costs will unite Republicans in November. But what happens after that? If Republicans don’t change, their party will go the way of the Whigs, the Know-Nothings, and the Bull Moose—all extinct.
BUT DIVIDED WE FALL?
If one thing unites the Republican party other than the desire to beat Obama, it’s the fear of American decline. American politicians have long feared national eclipse, but Republicans have been particularly keen to jump on the declinist bandwagon in 2012—some in more colourful fashion than others:
“America is not destined to become a decaying city in a hole, but rather a shining city on the hill… It’s time for members of Congress to put down their shovels, and walk away from their hole-digging hell.” Mike Lee, Utah Senator
“We must decide if we are prepared to… recede and become just like everybody else… that is the choice. It’s not a choice between a person we like and a person we don’t.” Marco Rubio, Florida Senator
“Just because we followed Greece into democracy doesn’t mean we need to follow them into bankruptcy.” Tim Pawlenty, ex-presidential candidate
[In response to government mandates intended to save water with toilet flushes] “We’ve become a nation of double-flushers with our designer plungers because of the activities of the Stasi police of the regulatory government. I want my liberty back! Steve King, Iowa Congressman
“Internationally, we have witnessed a weakening of our military and a decline in our standing in the world.” Mitt Romney, presidential candidate
“There is doubt in the minds of Americans that we will continue as this great, exceptional nation.” Michele Bachmann, ex-presidential candidate
“We are on the precipice of an abyss.” Colin Hanna, president of Let Freedom Ring?
Obama hit back in his State of the Union address: “Anyone who tells you that America is in decline or that our influence has waned, doesn’t know what they’re talking about.” | <urn:uuid:b643f19f-80cf-4fa6-91ed-6e6e47a51d0f> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/divided-we-stand-republican-party-rifts | 2019-04-19T05:08:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578527135.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190419041415-20190419063415-00170.warc.gz | en | 0.955818 | 1,913 |
Why Hello Lovelies,
Do you remember the movie Bride Wars? It's been ten years since it opened in theaters and audiences watched, with bated breath, as BFF’s Liv and Emma (Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway) descended into madness as they battled each other for their “dream wedding”. Liv and Emma's experience of their friendship being nearly destroyed by wedding planning happens more often than people like to chat about. So what is the best way to keep a friendship healthy, in such a dysfunctional situation as sharing the same wedding date? Glad you asked…
Last week I promised alternatives to booking vendors by attending bridal shows. Undoubtedly, bridal shows are one of the most popular ways. But, it’s easy to see how bridal shows may not be for everyone, considering all the work involved.
Sure it seems simple enough, all you will have to do is:
Happy New Year!
With all of the positive energy associated with the dawning of the new year, how can one not be enthusiastic for what the next 365 days will bring? But perhaps this year, more than most, I want to share this excitement with the world.
Late 2018, I did something I longed to do- launch AssortedArtistries.com. This marks the beginning of the next chapter of keeping the celebration of life’s many wondrous events. Not only will AssortedArtistries.com let me share with the world all of the services we offer, it can also allow our clients to share with their family and friends about the celebration.
Anika Fullum is a Jill of all trades and master of some. She's a hopeless romantic who wants to see her clients have the best possible celebration. | <urn:uuid:c75bce27-5db4-49e2-848d-1cd94047d9eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.assortedartistries.com/blog/category/wedding-planning | 2020-05-29T13:04:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347404857.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200529121120-20200529151120-00324.warc.gz | en | 0.95206 | 360 |
Autumn decorating preview 1 staying warmer for longer
As we continue to enjoy the last of the summer months, it can't be ignored that a new season is upon us. The air will become cooler, the night sky darker - but with the negatives aside, autumn brings with it some wonderfully new ideas for decorating your home. We don't want to speed the clocks up, but we do want to give you a preview of what's to come and help you to prepare your home for the months ahead.
For some of you, Autumn will be your favourite season, whereas others will desperately try to retain some of the warmth and brightness of summer. Our first post will appeal especially to the second group, as we give tips and advice on how to stay warmer for longer. This will not only cover warmth in the literal sense, but how certain decorating tricks can make the home more cosy and welcoming in general.
- In the lounge, cushions and throws are used for both comfort and to help achieving a visually pleasing space. For optimum levels of snugness, choose pillows that are packed with the softest of down mixes and place one or two more on the sofa than usual. Warm and rich colours such as chocolate browns, golds, deep ruby reds or earthy oranges will give the sense of a warmer atmosphere.
- Textiles in general are great to make quick changes throughout the home. They can bring in new patterns, colours and textures to suit the changing seasons. We tend to feel more cosy with the addition of a few more layers - sofa throws, rugs, curtains, table runners, blankets for the beds and so forth. Look for those that are knitted or crochet – a patchwork duvet cover is also a welcoming change to the autumn home.
- Make the fireplace a focal point if isn't already. By drawing the focus towards the fire, a room feels instantly warmer and cosier. You might want to rearrange furniture or add some comfy seating near to the hearth - extra large floor pillows are a nice idea (just remember to stay safe with a guard). You could also paint the wall of the hearth in a spicy colour to really heat things up.
- As you are happily going from room to room, layering extra textiles on the bed and sofa - don't forget about your windows. A thicker and fuller length of curtains will help to prevent unwanted drafts, but they are also another excuse for adding more seasonal colours and patterns to your interiors. During the transitional period, you might want to keep your white Venetian blinds up to let through the last of the suns rays and together with your chosen curtains they will offer a unique and contemporary look. | <urn:uuid:892f8f01-031a-49ad-8de0-015cad5b2a6c> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/blogs/main-blog/autumn-decorating-preview-1-staying-warmer-for-longer | 2022-05-28T19:20:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652663019783.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220528185151-20220528215151-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.949265 | 558 |
Are you wondering how you can take anything positive from 2020? Do you feel apprehensive about facing 2021?
Well to help you get your heads around 2020 and look forward to 2021, Laughology has got a webinar just for you! We’ll be looking back at some of the human behaviours we’ve adopted throughout this pandemic, as well as observing the quirkier habits we’ve assumed and exploring what we can learn in a sensitive but fun way.
No one would have believed the headlines of 2020 if they had been presented to us at the start of the year. A global pandemic, clapping for nurses, Brexit, the defeat of a TV reality president... not to mention the great bog roll famine!
There are so many lessons that we can learn from this year, from the ways we approach our work to the way we lead our lives. How to be more inclusive. Not just to say ‘black lives matter’, but to really mean it in what we say and do. Never to take hugs, family or friends for granted and, most importantly, to turn your camera off when you go to the loo.
As we move into 2021 however, it’s not all Zoom and gloom. There’s hope around the corner. With a vaccine on the horizon, we can look forward to the joy of breathing in someone’s armpit on a packed train again. We’ll be able to go for work drinks without socially distancing or having to order a scotch egg as our substantial meal. We can spend time with people other than the ones we’ve been stuck indoors with since March.
Everyone has mixed views and opinions about 2020. Looking back, it’s important we take some positives and learn lessons from these new ways of living and thinking. We must not just go back to how things were because that’s the way we’ve always done it.
We all feel differently and it can be tricky to navigate your way through the different opinions, thoughts and ideas, without offending people. Humour can be a great tool to break down barriers regarding some of the more difficult subjects. It’s a fantastic way to bring people together again - to talk about the things we want to take forward, leave behind or just look at and decide at another time.
So, join Stephanie Davies, Laughology’s Founder and Head of Happiness, along with Dave Keeling, Lead Happiness Consultant, as they take you through a fun-filled 50 minutes of:
Lines will open from 12.20 to allow people to join early.

IN a studio at WKCR-FM, the music roars and Phil Schaap, the New York jazz disk jockey, is ablaze with the eternal present. His long fingers wiggle, slim hips waggle, the chin bops and bobs. Here come the drums. ''Go, Sam, go!'' he yells. ''Yeah, yeah, yeah!''
His eyes gleam: the piano pushes forward, as Paul Gonsalves's tenor sax grabs the moment by the throat for 18, 21, 27 choruses! A May morning, New York City 1999, disappears; it is after midnight, July 8, the Newport Jazz Festival, 1956. An anonymous blonde in a little black dress, whom a photographer will memorialize as an icon of jazz euphoria, gyrates before the stage. ''Seven thousand people are starting to go crazy!'' Phil shouts, ecstatic. The Duke Ellington Orchestra is making a soaring comeback, and the recording of the concert will be Duke's best-selling album ever.
Phil Schaap has been to this concert thousands of times. Last week, he revealed to the jazz world that ''Ellington at Newport,'' the album said to have been recorded that night, is not what it seems.
In addition to being a jazz broadcaster, Mr. Schaap is a Grammy Award-winning jazz detective who hunts down and remasters vintage recordings. For the Duke's centennial, he is working on 11 Ellington reissues for Columbia/Sony Legacy.
Perhaps the most remarked upon will be the crisp, thrilling ''Ellington at Newport 1956 (Complete),'' with Mr. Schaap's notes, which retell the tale of that festival night when the orchestra kicked away all traces of being a big-band has-been. But recording and musical flubs were made, and the next day, the orchestra went into a studio to rerecord some tracks. Applause was layered in. Duke even read scripted stage announcements. The public was none the wiser.Continue reading the main story
For decades, a second recording that had a clearer version of the Gonsalves solo, made by the Voice of America, which broadcast the concert, was presumed lost. Then, a mother lode of tapes arrived at the Library of Congress. The Legacy team negotiated for three years. The reissue includes the original concert, now in stereo, plus studio tracks with the dubbed applause removed.
Mr. Schaap, who has a mania for completeness and veracity, dismisses critics who suggest that the first record in fact represents the intentions of the Duke, a shrewd packager. ''I'm a confident individual,'' he says, by way of understatement.
It is ill advised to debate Mr. Schaap, not only because he has been researching such disputes since childhood, but also because, given a sliver of an opening, he will unloose tidal waves of jazz tidbit talk.
As a jazz evangelist, he does seven shows a week on WKCR (89.9), most notably the morning Charlie Parker program ''Bird Flight,'' teaches jazz history at Princeton, and lectures widely. Friends who revere him as a living archive nonetheless wish that he would occasionally put a lid on it.
''They're right!'' Mr. Schaap, who wears a grown-up tie and Bugs Bunny socks, says brightly. He has the pallor of one who has spent his entire adult life in windowless rooms, having started at WKCR, the Columbia University station, in 1970, as a freshman. Sitting in a studio at Riverside Church in upper Manhattan, he explains how his radio monologues have evolved, from extended biographies to ''the thought process of jazz examination.'' Pause. Concession. ''I may be talking more now.''
HIS show might otherwise be unbearably ear-glazing -- he has an unparalleled appetite for outtakes -- but for Mr. Schaap's tone of boyish celebration. At 48, he peppers his talk with Phil-isms like ''foombah'' and ''gaboochie,'' dances with students while giving jazz finals, and answers the phone: ''Congratulations for calling the WKCR hot line! The temperature is currently 70 degrees. Which way would you like us to change it?'' He is, of course, a man joyously in thrall to his first love.
Philip Van Noorden Schaap grew up in Hollis, Queens, the only son of a family whose relatives include music performers, teachers and scholars. His mother, a librarian, was a bohemian jazz fan who smoked a corncob pipe; his father translated French jazz writers and befriended New York's inner circle of musicians.
The neighborhood would become a jazz enclave. Mr. Schaap, who says he became a fan at 6, grew up knocking on the doors of Lester Young, Lennie Tristano, Budd Johnson and Roy Eldridge. ''I was a pest,'' he says.
Black musicians were amused by this tall, skinny, insatiable white kid who, at 14, was sneaking into Manhattan jazz clubs almost nightly. He inhaled their stories. These days, older musicians, interviewed on his program, ask how he knows about gigs they can't recall. ''You told me 25 years ago,'' he will reply.
Then, as now, his contemporaries saw him as an odd duck. ''Because I grew up with friends 40 years older than me, they're mostly dead,'' Mr. Schaap says. ''I'm in the awkward second half of my life and I'm lonelier now. But that's the deal.''
Not quite. Almost two years ago, to the surprise of his musician friends, who assumed his marriage to jazz would always be monogamous, he wed Ellen Smith LaFurn, a kindergarten teacher who has also been a jazz musician. ''Her drummer was Gus Johnson and that knocked me out, because Gus didn't take no stuff,'' Mr. Schaap recalls. A look of wonder crosses his face. ''And she was interested in me,'' he adds, ''and that knocked me out, too.''Continue reading the main story | <urn:uuid:7256204b-e963-4ac1-a393-af192d1309b5> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.nytimes.com/1999/05/19/nyregion/public-lives-jazz-detective-unravels-an-ellington-puzzle.html?src=pm | 2018-06-22T02:04:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864337.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622010629-20180622030629-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.96743 | 1,277 |

CIA Agents to Troll Alternative Media Sites in Huge Propaganda Program
The CIA is expanding an existing program that influences mainstream media outlets to promote fake propaganda stories, by having agents troll internet forums, social media, and website comment sections – in an effort to disrupt alternative media sites.
In an expansion of Operation Mockingbird, the agency are now creating fake user accounts on various internet forums and social media channels, arguing politics with real users in an attempt to stifle and subvert genuine communications between users.
According to RT news, agents have up to “10 fake shill accounts” used to troll and create the illusion of having a genuine network of friends.
“They will defend current administration decisions with relentless irrational stubbornness that one can only be paid to do.”
Are you chatting with a CIA Agent on-line? It’s possible you may already have.
Abby Martin, from RT’s “Breaking the Set,” reported on an up to date Operation Mockingbird with the sole purpose of misleading the public on-line.

There’s a lot of messy, nasty work involved restoring a home to a normal state after its been abandoned for two years. Sometimes you just need a little break from all that yucky work so we took one. Even though this is still work, it’s fun building something new.
After a long wait, the kitchen cabinets arrived from Cabinets To Go. Naturally we were anxious to see what they looked like assembled. So we decided to have a little fun and put one together. Well, actually, I watched, retrieved tools and took a few snaps.
It’s true that putting the cabinets together yourself adds one more thing to the ‘to do’ list, but the money saved is well worth it. Also, the cabinets are all wood, (no fiber board) and they cost less than half what you’d pay in the store.
The sides of the cabinet boxes are plywood, the fronts, drawer boxes and frame are all solid wood. In our case, cherry. Overall, the quality is excellent! Assembly went pretty smoothly and as with all projects of this nature, by the time we get to assembling the last cabinet we’ll have it down to a science.

Trump tweeted that, while the United States "may be in the process of leaving Syria ... in no way have we Abandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters."
The president has faced harsh criticism from across the political spectrum -- including from usually staunch Republican allies in the Senate -- for the White House's announcing Sunday night that the United States would stand aside while Turkey proceeded with an operation in northern Syria.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pointedly warned Trump to “exercise American leadership, while GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, usually a strong Trump supporter, called the decision "shortsighted and irresponsible." Fellow Republican Sen. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a member of the House GOP leadership, called it was "a catastrophic mistake."
Graham and Democratic Sen.Chris Coons sent a letter to McConnell Tuesday requesting a briefing "as soon as possible" from the State Department, Pentagon and the intelligence community.
“The President’s decision will have severe consequences for our strategic national interests and reduce American influence in the region while strengthening Turkey, Russia, and Iran,” they wrote.
“We are concerned that this was an abrupt decision taken in the face of reported opposition from military and diplomatic advisers, and that thousands of hardened ISIS fighters and thousands more ISIS supporters currently in detention may become free to fight again as their Kurdish captors turn to defending themselves against a Turkish incursion,” they said.
Trump and the Pentagon on Monday tried to clean up that statement -- which made no mention of the Kurds, who have been fighting ISIS alongside the United States -- by praising the Kurds and clarifying the United States did not endorse a Turkish operation. Trump threatened to "totally destroy and obliterate" Turkey's economy if the country "does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits."
On Tuesday, Trump attempted to keep that delicate balance between supporting Turkey, a NATO ally of the United States, and the Syrian Kurdish fighters, whom Turkey considers terrorists.
While he reissued a threat to Turkey -- saying that "any unforced or unnecessary fighting by Turkey will be devastating to their economy and to their very fragile currency" -- he also noted the United States has had a "very good" relationship with Turkey and that he had invited its president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to the White House next month.
Trump also noted Turkey had been a "big trading partner of the United States" and had freed an American pastor imprisoned there. While he noted Turkey participates in the F-35 fighter jet program, the United States actually announced this year it would be kicking Turkey out of that program for purchasing a Russian missile defense system.
Meanwhile, in the Turkish capital Tuesday, the Turkish vice president said his country would not give in to threats over its Syria plans, apparently responding to Trump's Monday comments, according to the Associated Press. "Where Turkey's security is concerned, we determine our own path but we set our own limits," Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said, according to the AP.

Panthers fall to top team in New England
PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Sophomore Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, Calif.) and freshman Corinne Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) combined for 24 kills Tuesday evening as the University of Massachusetts Boston defeated Plymouth State University in straight sets in a Little East Conference women’s volleyball match at Foley Gymnasium.
The Panthers kept the match close but could not take a set from the Beacons, the defending conference champions who are ranked No. 1 in the New England Women’s Volleyball Association’s weekly poll. UMB won by set scores of 28-26, 25-20 and 25-23, posting its fifth straight win and improving to 23-2 overall and 6-0 in LEC matches. PSU, which lost to UMB in last season’s LEC championship match, dropped to 16-12 overall and 4-2 in conference play.
Thompson recorded 13 kills for the Beacons while Porter added 10 and junior Molly Rattigan (Dorchester, Mass.) chipped in with nine. Thompson also contributed a team-high 12 digs, while sophomore libero Bethany Rossoll (Colorado Springs, Colo.) finished with 10 digs. Junior Casey Hanneman (Denver, Colo.) and sophomore Frana Burtness-Adams (Fairbanks, Alaska) shared setting duties, finishing with 19 and 12 assists, respectively.

Freshman Allie Jones (Canton, Mass.) and sophomore Casey Stoodley (Salem, N.H.) led the way for the Panthers, Jones with a team-high 12 kills and Stoodley with her 14th double-double of the season with 11 kills and 14 digs. Junior libero Danielle Stoodley (Salem, N.H.) recorded a team-leading 15 digs, and junior setter Sarah Cady (Holliston, Mass.) contributed 12 digs and 32 assists.
It was both Senior Night (right) and “Dig Pink” night at Foley Gym, as PSU recognized senior Kelsey Petty (Salem, N.H.) before the match and both teams wore pink as part of their uniforms before and during the match in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
The first set was tight all the way. It was tied at 21-all, and neither team won two in a row until the Beacons pulled out the match with two straight points with the scored tied at 26-apiece. The visitors went ahead 13-9 in the second set and never relinquished the lead. PSU stayed within four points until the Beacons pulled ahead 24-18 and finally won, 25-20.
The third set was close just like the previous two. The teams were tied at 17-17 when the Beacons rattled off four straight points. PSU tallied four of the next five points to pull to within one at 22-21, and the teams traded the next four points to give UMB match point, which they won on a Panther attack error.
PSU wraps up the regular season on Saturday with an LEC match at Rhode Island College. UMB will face Keene State on Thursday for the Little East regular season title.

During the process of writing a book, so much material inevitably gets written, cut, added back to the book, and then cut again. It’s sorta maddening. This gem of a story was edited out of the final version of my memoir, Notes on a Banana, for space reasons. But I thought the innocence and playfulness of my childhood friend Gail Martin and I pretending to grocery shop deserved to be shared with others. We were all of six years old when this took place. I hope you enjoy it. By the way, that’s not me in the photo above. I couldn’t find a picture of me rummaging through trash cans—go figure.—David Leite
The alley beneath my window connected Brownell Street to an interior asphalt courtyard of tenements and the back of the Terminal Bakery. Mr. Jeff, who lived in the house next door, was a meticulous man. His trash cans, shiny and with “135” painted in two graceful arcs on each side of the handles, sat beyond reproach at the back of the alley. One summer morning, after being shrugged off by our mothers and told to “go play in traffic,” Gail, my neighbor from across the street, and I headed for the alley to play supermarket. Mr. Jeff, besides his incredible orderliness, was blessed with uncanny hearing, so we had to be cat-burglar quiet.
I lifted the trash-can lid and placed it on the ground. Gail and I then began picking through the garbage for our quarry: food containers in mint condition.
“I found one!” I whispered, pulling out an empty milk carton.
“Ohhh, that’s not fair.”
Gail began rummaging in earnest, determined to get her share. When she plucked out a frozen dinner box, jealousy seized me.
Deeper and deeper into the can we leaned, tipping it down until we’d ravaged its contents. And there at the bottom was the gem. I nabbed it before Gail could. She was so in awe of it, she didn’t even attempt to fight. I held it out and we just beamed.
“Luh soo-uh,” she said.
“It’s not ‘luh soo-uh,’” I said, deeply offended.
“How do you know?”
“’Cuz Dina’s French, and she pronounces it ‘ler sewer,’” I said, covering the garbage can and placing the opened can of Le Sueur peas on top.
I became a lifelong Francophile because of Dina. My mother would pick up brochures from the local travel agency, for some trip she’d never take with my father, I guess, and when she was done, she’d let me play with them. I’d sit on Dina’s lap in her rocking chair as we looked at all the pictures of France. It wasn’t until I was in seventh grade and wanted to practice my French lessons with her that I learned that she not only didn’t know a word of la langue Française, she wasn’t even French. Dina was Portuguese and French-Canadian. Her family was from the South End of Fall River—the very wrong end, my mother would say. But back then, before I knew any of this, I adored her because she shunned anything Portuguese. French people, French style, French food were superior.
Once Gail and I had our inventory, we went to work lining up the items against the foundation of Mr. Jeff’s house by sections: dairy, frozen foods, packaged foods, and finally our Holy Grail, canned goods, with the Le Sueur peas at the end. It was a paean to the American packaged foods of the early ’60s that I wasn’t allowed to eat. With our supermarket now opened, Gail and I would shop, making idle husband-and-wife chatter down the aisle.
I’d never been in Mr. Jeff’s house, but if his garbage was any indication, he was a man of varied and exotic tastes. I’d never seen any of his colorfully packaged foods in our kitchen. Instead of moping in front of plates of blood sausage, purple octopus stew, or whole fish with hundreds of bones, I imagined myself at the table with my parents, me in a jacket and tie, because I was convinced that’s how French children dressed for dinner. In front of me would be one of Mr. Jeff’s TV dinner—out of its tray, because separating your food into sections was for babies. Or for old sick people in the hospital. Instead, the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and carrots would be artfully arranged on the plate by our cook, who slept on the tub-less bathroom floor because, well, she was a servant, and the spare bedroom was reserved not for our most recent hollowed-eyed relative from the Old Country but rather for visiting dignitaries from Europe, who brought me chocolate and cheese balls from their countries, hoping to curry favor with the local government. Being Fall River’s biggest child TV star, I would deign to act as a cultural attaché.
“Get the hell out of there!” Mr. Jeff was rapping on his window. Then his screen door slapped shut. Gail and I fled, she back home, me to the Terminal Bakery.
“Goddamn sonofabitchin’ kids! If I find you here one more time, I’ll wring your scrawny little necks! You hear me?”
As I turned the corner of the alley leading down the steps to the bakery, I looked back. Mr. Jeff was bent over, muttering to himself as he kicked down our carefully arranged supermarket, and I cried. | <urn:uuid:3417d248-1c3c-4cc1-83c0-e19b1b8262ff> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://leitesculinaria.com/108864/writings-trash-can-alley.html | 2020-01-20T20:43:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250599789.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200120195035-20200120224035-00144.warc.gz | en | 0.972558 | 1,271 |

Construction industry Christmas cards are the perfect way to display your company's name as they let clients and friends know who you are and what you do while extending holiday cheer. From architect to heavy equipment operator, construction Christmas cards let everyone know you’re on the job and ready to get working on the projects that make our lives better.
After the blueprints have been drafted and handed off to the project manager who readies the workers to perform their required tasks, Christmas cards for construction remind us all of the hard work that is carried out daily. The bulldozers, cranes and dump trucks that help clear the way for the building to begin are reminders of the great effort that is put forth by everyone who contributes to the project’s completion.
When you send Christmas cards that display workers in hard hats holding the tools of their respective trades, or the men and women hoisting heavy steel girders into place to be secured by skilled welders, it shows the pride you take in the product or service you offer to your clients.
Holiday cards are always a great way to offer the people who are important to your company’s achievements heartfelt gratitude and best wishes for the season. So as the holidays approach, make sure you have plenty of construction industry Christmas cards on hand to send to all those individuals who have helped make your business a success! | <urn:uuid:5fb8339a-6c11-4553-a7fa-842a0a16ce1f> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.gallerycollection.com/christmas-cards/Construction.htm?location=christmas-cardsleftnav | 2019-10-23T15:12:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987834649.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20191023150047-20191023173547-00331.warc.gz | en | 0.95376 | 275 |
Valentine's Dinner Date
Valentine's Day I spent as a married woman went as follows: no one
takes charge because one of us is a guy, we drive around town and
find out that a)driving after 6 on
is a death wish, and b)every single
has a 4 to 6 hour wait. (At what point, by the way, should
they stop taking names and just tell customers to proceed to the
nearest gas station?) I haven't been that hungry since I
tried to eat at Disney Land.
Since that night, my husband
and I have created the Stay-at-Home
Valentine's Date Tradition, and I look forward to it every year. We
put our kid's to bed early with strict instructions (read: threats)
to stay in bed. Then we light some candles, eat a fancy meal, and
relax the night away.
I mix up the menu every
year, but the main idea is fancy main course, something interesting to
drink, and lots of dessert. This date has never failed, and I highly
recommend it to anyone who hates traffic as much as I do! | <urn:uuid:7ee79404-b586-47a7-b959-2778d7020375> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://theperfectchocolatechipcookie.com/occasionvalentine.php | 2015-02-27T04:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936460472.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074100-00299-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961815 | 249 |
Hyperloop One is hoping to be building freight lines starting in 2018 and begin moving freight by 2020, maybe 2019, with the first passenger trips starting in 2021.
But it looks like Hyperloop One is soon going to have competition from Musk himself.
Elon Musk introduced the idea for the hyperloop in 2013 in a white paper, authored by Musk and his team at SpaceX .“I don’t have any plan to execute because I must remain focused on SpaceX and Tesla,” Musk Said at the time.
Well now it looks like it’s time to execute. Musk said in July that he had received “verbal government approval” to construct an underground passenger hyperloop between New York and Washington, D.C. using his Boring Co., that would cover the trip in just in 29 minutes.
Musk has repeatedly denied wanting to construct his own hyperloop company, but Bloomberg reports that a source close to Musk says that his plan is to build the entire New York to Washington, D.C. system, including the hyperloop and not partner with existing companies such as Hyperloop One.
The news that Musk has changed his mind and is now building a hyperloop himself has left executives at the three main hyperloop startups in shock.
The Boring Company, founded by Musk last year, claims it will be able to vastly increase increasing tunneling speeds and drop costs by a factor of 10 or more.
SpaceX owns the trademark for “Hyperloop” but says that “We encourage and support all companies that wish to build Hyperloops and we don’t intend to stop them from using the Hyperloop name as long as they are truthful.’’
Musk plans to hold another hyperloop competition at SpaceX later this month. “We are interested in helping to accelerate development of a functional Hyperloop prototype,” a statement read.
The statement also read “We are not developing a commercial Hyperloop ourselves.” , this sentence has since been removed form the website. | <urn:uuid:380b6ce8-d545-4ee4-a1db-c43163aaa4f2> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.singularityarchive.com/hyperloop-one-plans-start-operating-2021/ | 2018-01-19T19:23:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084888113.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20180119184632-20180119204632-00746.warc.gz | en | 0.976991 | 422 |

We offer one to one baby massage sessions where you will benefit from being the only pupil in class.
In a one to one class you will learn the entire massage routine from start to finish, as well as a specific colic routine and winding techniques. Because of the nature of one to one lessons, we can tailor your learning to make sure we concentrate on the techniques and strokes you feel your baby needs the most.
Sometimes it can be very nerve-wracking leaving your home with a newborn, especially if they have a colicky episode. While I would always recommend attending weekly classes, as you will receive support from other new parents, sometimes learning in the comfort of your own home is the best option.
One to one classes are 1.5 hours long and are suitable for babies from 8weeks- crawling. Because they are subject to my availability, please contact me to book. | <urn:uuid:b6b99577-0f4d-4e99-ba25-9fc5aeb8dab3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.sweetpeasbaby.co.uk/one-to-one/ | 2022-01-19T23:19:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301592.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119215632-20220120005632-00053.warc.gz | en | 0.957627 | 180 |

What is Impostor Syndrome?
Have you ever felt that you were a fraud? Have you worried that even though on paper you have all the requisite education and experience for a job or new role, you only got to where you are based on luck? Have you felt afraid of being found out that you actually don’t know what you are doing? If this resonates with you, you may experience impostor syndrome.
If impostor syndrome is something you deal with, know that you are not alone. Impostor syndrome is very common. A review article published in the Journal of Behavioral Science estimated that 70% of the U.S. population has experienced impostor syndrome (see link below).
Also, you should know that impostor syndrome does not discriminate based on the level of success one achieves. According to an article in NBC news, even Academy-award winning actor Tom Hanks and business leader Sheryl Sandberg have experienced impostor syndrome (see link below).
What can you do to manage impostor syndrome?
The next time you start to experience that familiar feeling of panic that you’re a fraud, notice your feeling and recognize it as being impostor syndrome.
You could say to yourself “that’s just my impostor syndrome acting up again.” Or, you could give your impostor syndrome a name, say Fred, and think, “Oh that’s just Fred again. Hello Fred.”
Acknowledging it can help make impostor syndrome feel less scary.
Talk to someone about it
Given that an estimated 70% of people in the U.S. have experienced impostor syndrome, it’s safe to say that other people will likely understand how you feel and can provide support and advice about how they navigated impostor syndrome themselves.
Give yourself permission to ask for help and to not have all the answers
Remember in school when teachers would say “there are no stupid questions?” Try to channel that spirit for yourself. In particular, if you have recently entered into a new role or situation, it makes perfect sense that you will need help figuring out how things work. Try not to equate not knowing with being inadequate.
Change perspective and challenge negative thoughts
Practice shifting your thinking patterns. After having the thought “I must be a fraud because I don’t know what I’m doing!” you could counter with “well, of course I don’t know how to do this yet, I just got here!”
If you find that some areas are particularly difficult in your role, normalize this and know that everyone has areas of relative and strength and weakness. Try to think of it as a growth edge rather than something you will permanently struggle with.
At the heart of it, impostor syndrome comes from being in a self-critical and judgmental space. Hence, it will be helpful to practice self-compassion and work towards being kinder and more understanding towards yourself. Here are a few ideas for how to do so:
Try to talk to yourself as if you were talking to a friend. Ask yourself, would I talk to my friend this way? If not, then shift your self-talk accordingly.
Practice loving-kindness meditation. This is a form of meditation in which you practice sending feelings of love and compassion towards yourself and others. Many meditation apps and online resources provide recordings of guided loving-kindness meditation.
Practice self-compassion statements. When you find yourself barraging yourself with critical comments, stop and instead think about what you could say to offer kindness to yourself in that moment.
For instance, if you are finding that it is taking longer to learn something than you expected, instead of saying “I’m awful. I must be terrible” you could say “May I be patient with myself.”
A final word
If you are struggling with impostor syndrome and want to talk about how to overcome it, feel free to reach out for a free initial consult. | <urn:uuid:12350bb8-f5b9-4778-b0c7-b3f806cc0050> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://goodtherapysf.com/2019-1-1-overcoming-impostor-syndrome/ | 2023-02-09T08:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764501555.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20230209081052-20230209111052-00494.warc.gz | en | 0.963332 | 866 |
Privacy Upstream, Discrimination Downstream: The (Un)Intended Consequences of Data Analytics
Address given at the Reboot 18th Annual Privacy and Security Conference
Victoria, British Columbia
February 10, 2017
Address by Patricia Kosseim
Senior General Counsel and Director-General, Legal Services, Policy, Research and Technology Analysis Branch
(Check against delivery)
As many of you know, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada is mandated to protect and promote the privacy rights of individuals. As data protection authorities, we focus our attention on the collection, use and disclosure of personal information upstream while human rights commissions typically address discriminatory impacts of that information downstream. As an example, the OPC asks whether it’s necessary for insurance companies to collect genetic information for actuarial purposes, whereas our human rights colleagues may step in when an individual has been denied coverage as a result.
Because discrimination is often a function of personal information collected about people – be it individuals or groups – we need to better understand the connection. Never before have we seen such an unprecedented level of data collected about all aspects of our lives, both by humans and machines. The truth is we have all been unwittingly caught up in what one author has called the “digital dragnet.”Footnote 1 We need to look more closely at what can happen as a result – if it’s not happening already – in order to work harder and smarter at the front end to limit the amount of personal information collected and how it’s used in the first place.
I propose we go there today – to the deep, dark underworld of discrimination, so that we can work backwards, deconstruct the journey and figure out how best to address issues before they happen.
What Does “Down the Stream” Look Like?
Imagine you’re at your favourite waterpark, taking a nice leisurely ride down a winding, lazy river. You’re lying on a big, comfy, inflatable tube, slowly bobbing up and down enjoying the relaxing ride. Got your shades on, eyes closed. You’ve no idea where you’re going, blissfully ignorant of the fact that you’re getting sunburnt along the way!
Indeed, a growing number of studies demonstrate the pernicious, downstream effects of data analytics. You may have heard about the work of Latanya Sweeney who suggested there was racial bias in ads connected with certain search terms used by Google. When searching for black-identifying first names, like DeShawn, Darnell or Jermaine, Sweeney found a higher percentage of ads offering services for criminal record checks as compared to searches for people with white-identifying names such as Brad, Jill and Emma. Whether the bias is attributable to race or socio-economic status, we just don’t know.Footnote 2
A similarly troubling result was found in a ProPublica study of risk assessment software used across the US to predict criminal recidivism for parole and sentencing decisions. This study found significant racial bias, falsely flagging black defendants as future criminals at almost twice the rate of white defendants.Footnote 3
Some argue “it is what it is.” Google and Reuters did not set out to develop discriminatory algorithms. It’s purely a function of past search activity, aggregated over millions if not billions of users, that the correlation was made. In other words, the computer, completely agnostic as to race or other factors, just spits back what it was taught to look for. Similarly recidivism tends to correlate highly with employment, education and neighborhood crime rates, against which some groups tend to fare less well than others.
But this argument is flawed in several respects. First, it ignores the role algorithms play in perpetuating and even aggravating discriminatory impacts. Second, it ignores the critical role humans play in designing these algorithms and then interpreting and applying their results. And third, it’s nearly impossible to test the claim that algorithms are but neutral and agnostic when they are so opaque and secretly guarded that nobody outside can see them – a point Frank Pasquale makes in his book The Black Box Society.Footnote 4
Cathy O’Neil, a PhD data scientist from Harvard, jaded from her stint in the finance industry, also supports these counterarguments in her book aptly entitled, “Weapons of Math Destruction.”
Among several examples, O’Neil points to crime prediction software that cash-strapped police departments are using across America to determine in which neighborhoods they should be sending their limited patrol cars to maximize efficiency. These models are designed to analyze historical crime patterns in order to predict where criminal activity is most likely to occur next.Footnote 5
But designers have a choice. They can include serious crimes in their model – homicide, assault, burglary and auto theft. Or, they can also include petty, nuisance crimes like vagrancy and panhandling. By including the latter, they inflate the numbers of some of the most impoverished neighbourhoods, inevitably sending more police cars to those segregated parts of America, thus over-policing them as they try to root out trouble with a zero-tolerance mindset.Footnote 6
Although the model did not set out to target race, the factors chosen turn out to be very close proxies, creating a discriminatory feedback loop. Moreover, by focusing on these models that predict street crime, police are necessarily choosing to put fewer resources into fighting white-collar crime in the financial industry, for example. O’Neil goes on to ask “whether we, as a society are willing to sacrifice a bit of efficiency in the interest of fairness. Should we handicap the models, leaving certain data out?”Footnote 7
The potential for discrimination exists in the for-profit sector too where we see many examples of automated decision-making processes that may be vulnerable to potential discrimination, such as: who to lend money to, who to insure, who to hire or who to accept into college.
O’Neil points to for-profit universities that use data about the most vulnerable in society to generate leads. It turns out the most vulnerable are also the most profitable. Would-be students desperate to improve their lives will go to great lengths to secure government loans to get into university. With this in mind, some for-profit universities use algorithms and data analytics to segment their market and target their predatory advertising campaign to: ‘Welfare Mom with Kids’; ‘Recent Divorce, Death or Incarceration’; ‘Low Self-Esteem’; ‘Drug Rehab’; ‘Dead-End Jobs’; ‘No Future’. And the computer models they use set out to find just that.Footnote 8
But there too, there are trade-offs to make between fairness and efficiency, and choices to make about which data to collect or just leave out. Take the emerging sharing economy. In the early days of online marketplaces, the anonymity of the parties to a service transaction made it hard for sellers to discriminate. It seemed that the sharing economy had the potential to end discrimination that was often present in in-person transactions. But then platforms began requiring information such as names and photos, leaving open the possibility of reintroducing racial bias into the online marketplace.
Similar to Sweeney’s study, researchers from Harvard Business School found that AirB&B requests from people with black-sounding names were 16 per cent less likely than those with white-sounding names to be accepted. The point is, sharing platforms make design choices. They can choose not to require surnames or photos at all, or if they do, could require this information only after other salient aspects of the transaction — such as price and availability — have been agreed to.Footnote 9
Somewhat like the US symphony orchestras in the 1970-80s, that made a ‘concerted’ (no pun intended) effort to increase diversity by auditioning musicians behind a screen wall. By reducing the amount of information available to conductors up front (such as physical characteristics), this change resulted in a 160% increase in the female success rate.Footnote 10
Resetting the Voyage: Heading Upstream Again
Now that we know what downstream looks like, let’s head back upstream to explore what course corrections can be made at the outset.
This time, let’s change our little thought experiment. We are no longer lazily bobbing up and down on our inflatable dingies at the waterpark, heading “somewhere down the crazy river.” We’re about to sail across the Atlantic, from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean – the same route Christopher Columbus once took and my sister and brother-in-law just recently completed in their 46-foot alloy sailboat.
For nineteen days, I followed their journey, anxiously reading their daily sailblog for news, praying for their safe arrival on terra firma. This was no lazy river ride! “Gybe the jib to starboard”, “lower the mainsail to windward”, “set the staysail to leeward”… and so it went with technical words I barely understood. Between the two of them - daywatch and nightwatch - they stayed vigilant throughout the journey, constantly adjusting their sails, charting and correcting their course according to weather, currents, wind speed and direction.
How can we begin to address the adverse downstream effects of discrimination and work proactively and diligently up front to remedy, if not avoid them altogether? How can we regulate: the data we feed into algorithms, the algorithms we design to interpret the data, and the societal decisions we make based on their results so as to minimize their harmful impacts?
These are questions being asked around the world as we come to realize that privacy laws alone may be too crude and limited as instruments. Increasingly, there is a sense that we need to develop robust ethical frameworks and bring to bear our best interdisciplinary thinking to fill in the gaps, so to speak, and help guide complex and value-laden decisions at a more granular level.
For example, in 2014, the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners adopted a unanimous resolution calling on all parties to be able to demonstrate that decisions based on Big Data, including the results of profiling, are fair, transparent, accountable… and ethical.Footnote 11
In 2015, the European Data Protection Supervisor issued an Opinion on Digital Ethics, urging the need to consider the ethical dimension of data processing so as to address deeper questions about the impacts on human dignity, individual freedom and the functioning of democracy.Footnote 12
And the 2016 World Economic Forum Report on Global Risk suggests that ethical frameworks and norms need to guide technological innovation if we are going to keep pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.Footnote 13
Many in the business, academic and scientific communities have begun heeding that call. For today’s purposes, I have grouped the different responses into four categories: Organizational Ethics, Robot Ethics, Designer Ethics and Integrated Ethics.
Many are actively advocating in favour of ethical frameworks to help guide organizational decision-making at the front end. Before deploying big data initiatives or new IOT devices for example, some are proposing various means for companies to broaden their perspectives of potential harms and benefits beyond the bottom line.
International advocacy groups and think tanks have turned some of their best minds to this question.
The Information Accountability Foundation (IAF) has proposed a Unified Ethical Frame as means by which organizations can more systematically and more meaningfully balance the full range of individual, societal and business interests when evaluating a proposed Big Data use against certain core values.Footnote 14
The Centre for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL) has proposed the notion of enhanced organizational accountability to evaluate the appropriateness of data processing based on fairness and an ethical framework, taking into account risks of harm to individuals and benefits to the organization, individuals and society at large.Footnote 15
Scholars associated with the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) have suggested the creation of consumer ethics boards, modelled after research ethics boards in academia, as a way of recalibrating the asymmetry between individuals and big business and systematically reviewing proposed data uses from the consumer’s viewpoint.Footnote 16
What this first group of initiatives all have in common, is some way for organizations – either internally or externally – to enhance their decisions by augmenting their profit-making motive, with more thoughtful consideration of potential harms and benefits from multiple perspectives other than their own.
Another proposal – a little more out there – is to download onto computers, not only the analytical work they can do far more powerfully than humans can, but also the ethical decision-making processes that go along with it.
Can we teach robots to make ethical choices?
A UK research study found that we are not there yet. They programmed a robot to follow Asimov’s first ethical rule of robots, that a robot may not injure a human being or allow a human being to come to harm. They found that when the robot was capable of saving a human surrogate, it did so 100 per cent of the time. However, when it was faced with the trolley problem — the ethical dilemma of saving one but not the other — it failed nearly half the time to rescue either. It became paralyzed with indecision, constantly changing its mind or “dithering” from one to the other.Footnote 17
Somewhere, in robotics labs around the world, someone is working to perfect this experiment and the robot’s ability to make ethical choices. But no sooner than they do, they may need to reprogram their robot to take into account new rules some have suggested be added to Asimov’s first three.
In addition to:
- A robot may not injure a human;
- A robot must obey the orders of a human; and
- A robot should protect itself except if that means injuring a human or disobeying an order;
Marc Rotenberg, from the Electronic Privacy Information Centre, has proposed that:
- A robot must always reveal the basis of its decision (concept of “Algorithmic Transparency”); and
- A robot must always reveal its actual identity (to identify the human, organization or state behind a drone for example).Footnote 18
A third group of proposals – more technical in nature – is to embed ethical values and principles into the very design of the system.
For example, the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers has recently proposed draft ethics principles to guide the design and development of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. These are to: embody the highest ideals of human rights, prioritize maximum benefit to humanity, and mitigate risks and negative impacts. They present a number of draft recommendations for the technical community to build these values into their systems, guide their research methodologies, maximize accountability and transparency, and recalibrate the data asymmetry that exists between the individual and the system.Footnote 19
In a Harvard Business Review article, “Fixing Discrimination in Online Marketplaces,” authors Fisman and Luca list a number of concrete features that can be built into the design of online platforms to avoid, or at least minimize, potential discrimination.Footnote 20
A good example of some of these choices in action arose just this week when Facebook announced three design changes to its platform. In response to another Propublica study that uncovered some not so pretty things last year,Footnote 21 Facebook:
has adopted an explicit policy against discrimination and will get advertisers to explicitly certify acceptance of the policy before joining its ad network.
It is restricting any housing, employment or credit-related advertisers from using audience selection tools based on certain personal characteristics.
And, with machine learning it hopes to perfect over time, it will begin automatically detecting and taking down ads that violate its policies.Footnote 22
Then, there are those who advocate a broader, more integrated, interdisciplinary approach to addressing the ethical, legal and social issues of algorithms, much like we did in the ’80s at the outset of the Human Genome Mapping Project. The Human Genome brought tremendous promise, yet unknown consequences, and the world was both excited and greatly apprehensive about it.
James Watson, the first Director of the NIH Human Genome Research Institute, announced that a certain percentage of research funds would henceforth always be directed to studying the ethical, legal and social implications of the human genome – otherwise known as ELSI research. This spawned a whole new generation of similar programs in the UK and Canada as research funders came to realize that good science must not only be technically reliable, but also socially robust.
Just as the quest for the human genome became re-contextualized within the broader society and better grounded in what we collectively accept as being just, equitable and fair, so too must the future of the Digital Revolution. Computer scientists, like genomic scientists, must work in tandem with social science colleagues in law, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and others, to anticipate and address the broader, downstream impacts of their work on society.
Kate Crawford, visiting scholar at MIT and Ryan Calo, from University of Washington, suggest something like this: a social-systems approach in the field of artificial intelligence that is more proactive than after-the fact technical corrections and broader than ‘how to’ decisions. This approach is a multi-disciplinary and multi-pronged analysis at every stage of the AI innovation process — from conception, to design, deployment and regulation — to ensure that we get a more holistic understanding of its potential societal impacts and critically assess its net benefits before even being adopted at all.Footnote 23
There are many who think Canada has great potential to become a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence, including Steven Irvine, a former Facebook executive who recently returned to Canada to start a new AI company. According to him, we have the academic heavyweights, as well as the “entrepreneurial talent and strong business leaders” to make this happen. Positioning Canada as an AI leader could have significant economic benefit to the country. Some predict that AI could add $17.5-billion to our annual GDP and create170,000 new jobs by 2025.Footnote 24
But pursuing this opportunity is not without risks:
Futurist Yuval Harari imagines a not too-distant future which challenges our homo-centric view of the world in favor of a data-centric one. He foresees the rise of dataism in which authority shifts from humans to algorithms, and engineers are reduced to chips then data, as we approach the day when the Internet of all Things will completely subvert the human agenda. What will happen, he asks, to society, politics and daily life, when non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms get to know us better than we know ourselves?Footnote 25
If Harari’s future is not plausible enough for you, consider China’s new social credit rating tool it hopes to launch by 2020. The goal is to create a nation-wide “social-credit” system that compiles digital records of citizen behaviour, based on everything from fare cheating and jaywalking, to internet activity and violations of family-planning rules. The system would give individuals an overall rating that determines what services individuals are entitled to and which blacklists they are put on. Should the experiment succeed, the state will get to decide an individual’s worth in society based on algorithms that not only claim to know them better than themselves, but also rate them morally in relation to fellow citizens.Footnote 26
This central question of the role of human agency in a technology-driven world lies at the core of our strategic priority work on the Economics of Personal Information. About a year ago, our Office launched a consultation paper on the role that consent plays in increasing Canadians’ sense of control over their personal information and enhancing their trust in the digital economy.
We received 51 written submissions, held stakeholder meetings in five major cities, and this week, our Commissioner is on the road, listening in on focus groups with individual Canadians across the country — all with a view to issuing a policy position in mid-2017.
It is quite a daunting task, come to think of it. Here we are, setting out on a journey to increase individual control, when technology, like a formidable current, is pushing us in the opposite direction.
Perhaps the consent process as we currently know it (reams and reams of pages of legalese nobody reads), can be made more meaningful through creative legal, policy and technological ways. Perhaps, society will accept alternative modes of protection in certain circumstances and under certain conditions when individual consent is otherwise not practicable. What should that alternative protection look like and what role different actors play in providing that protection (individuals, organizations, regulators and legislators), will be the subject of our reflections over the next few months.
We need to tackle these issues head-on; certainly we can’t be complacent about them. But we will not resolve them by limiting ourselves to the here and now. We need to address them with courage and strategic foresight, by imagining and transposing ourselves into a plausible future, and working backwards from there to enable the pursuit of exciting possibilities while avoiding potential harms.
In conclusion, we cannot simply lie down on our inflatable dingies, with eyes closed, sailing down the lazy river, wherever the market and technology currents take us. Like early explorers, we need to be active navigators on this journey, charting our course, adjusting the sails, adapting to changing winds, correcting our sail plan, anticipating bad weather — and avoiding pirate territory — as we head into the great unknown.

Tips For Bug Patching
Environment: localhost with PHP, Node.js, and Grunt
jQuery Mobile uses Node.js and Grunt to automate the building and validation of source code.
The Demos depend on PHP running locally, so make sure you have the following installed:
- A web server with PHP support (any will do, such as XAMPP or MAMP)
- Node.js (includes NPM, necessary for the next step)
- Grunt (install with:
npm install -g grunt-cli)
Build a Local Copy of jQuery Mobile
Create a fork of the jQuery Mobile repo on GitHub at http://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile.
Change directory to your web root directory, whatever that might be:
$ cd /path/to/your/www/root/
Clone your jQuery Mobile fork to work locally.
Note: be sure to replace
[USERNAME] with your GitHub username.
$ git clone email@example.com:[USERNAME]/jquery-mobile.git
Change to the newly created directory.
$ cd jquery-mobile
Add the official jQuery repository as a remote. We recommend naming it "upstream".
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile.git
Get in the habit of pulling in the "upstream" master to stay up to date as jQuery Mobile receives new commits.
$ git pull upstream master
Install the dependencies.
You can run all the test suites by running the following command:
$ grunt test
You can choose to run only a subset of the tests by adding the
--suites option like:
$ grunt test --suites=button,checkboxradio
will only run the tests under
You can also specify which versions of jQuery you want to test jQuery Mobile with by using the
$ grunt test --jqueries=1.11.1,git
Often times when working on a feature or bug fix branch it's useful to pull in the latest from the parent branch. If you're doing this before submitting a pull request it's best to use git's rebase to apply your commits onto the latest from the parent branch. For example, working on
new-feature branch where
upstream is the remote at
git checkout new-feature git pull --rebase upstream master ## ... here you may have to resolve some conflicts ... ##
You can now push to your own fork and submit the pull request. Keep in mind that it's only a good idea to do this if you haven't already submitted a pull request unless you want to create a new one because your origin remote (your fork) will report a discrepancy. Again, please refer to the chapter in Pro Git on rebasing if you're new to it.
Thank you for contributing to the jQuery Mobile project! | <urn:uuid:8ad26b46-0a0e-4235-81d1-bce25e2c8589> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md | 2016-08-31T23:50:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982954852.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200914-00272-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.86787 | 1,501 |
Most respondents were able to quickly the man in the center as former Queens Borough President, who served from 1971-1986 and was forced to resign under a cloud of allegations that he was involved in a number of kickback schemes. Shortly thereafter, he committed suicide while on hold with his psychiatrist by stabbing himself in the chest with a kitchen knife.
The president of the Central Queens Historical Association, Jeff Gottlieb, identified the man second from the left as former city comptroller, who served in the office from 1974 to 1989. The former Bronx state senator also ran for mayor in 1989, but was defeated in the Democratic Primary by David Dinkins.
Several people also identified the woman on the far right as Carol Bellamy, including William Aiello of Howard Beach and Larry Penner from Great Neck.
Bellamy was the first woman to be elected president of the New York City Council, a position that no longer exists, but was once one of the most powerful posts in the city.
Prior to that, Bellamy served in the State Senate from 1973 to 1977. In 1985, she waged an unsuccessful campaign for mayor, and in 1983 she considered running for governor.
Following her career in politics, Bellamy would be appointed director of the Peace Corps by President Bill Clinton and later serve as executive director of UNICEF from 1995 to 2005.
Mr. Gottlieb also offered an educated guess that the man next to Bellamy is Saul B. Cohen, a former professor of geography at Hunter College who also served as Queens College president from 1975 to 1985, which would certainly coincide with the terms of the elected officials present in the photo.

The BLACKCAPS have taken first blood in the National Bank, Chappell/Hadlee series, beating the highly fancied Australian team by two wickets at McLean Park in Napier.
The scene was set
A colossal BLACKCAPS Twenty20 victory over Australia in Christchurch three days earlier was the ideal appetiser to the One-Day series - Perfect Napier weather, a good-sized McLean Park crowd and a pitch threatening a landslide of runs.
The tone for the duel was well and truly set by the Christchurch performance with both teams playing some exhilarating cricket. The Napier crowd was primed and ready for more of the same, and they weren’t disappointed.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, the Australian’s leapt out of the blocks, with opener Shane Watson taking 14 from off the opening Tim Southee.
Watson, supported by Brad Haddin, was playing some glorious shots and Australia’s total shot to 50 in just six overs.
Ross Taylor, making his debut as captain after a neck twinge forced Daniel Vettori out during the warm up, marshalled his troops well with the wicket of Haddin, bowled by Shane Bond, allowing New Zealand to start applying the brakes.
Watson was next to go at 58, skying a Jacob Oram delivery to Peter Ingram for 45 and Clarke departed soon after for 22 when he edged a Tuffey ball to the keeper.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting looked threatening during his innings of 44 before falling to a magnificent reaching catch by Guptill, handing James Franklin his first wicket.
The trend continued with Cameron White (33) the next Australian to go after getting a start, with Tuffey knocking over his stump and effectively slowed the Australian innings.
James Hopes (33) and Michael Hussey (59) steadied the ship for the Australians before they were both bowled by Southee and Bond respectively.
The BLACKCAPS lost Jacob Oram to a freakish fielding injury. The tall all-rounder was stretching to field a ball and over-extended his leg, injuring his knee and had to be assisted from the field.
In the end Australia managed 275 for eight on a ground that most predicted a score in excess of 300, just to be competitive.
Tuffey finished with three for 58 while spearhead Bond took two for 50 with all of the BLACKCAPS bowlers toiling honestly and with purpose.
New Zealand’s response started well, with Brendon McCullum and Peter Ingram racing to 75 in just 11.2 overs before Ingram was caught for in the deep for 40 off the bowling of Mitchell Johnson.
Australia made another breakthrough with the score on 90, this time McCullum, bowled Bollinger for 45.
After a decent start, the BLACKCAPS batsmen struggled to dispatch some very controlled and accurate Aussie bowling in the middle stageS with the departure of Martin Guptill for nine off 30 balls highlighting this.
With the run chase floundering the BLACKCAPS desperately needed to up the run-rate. A partnership between Ross Taylor and James Franklin managed to re-build momentum before Franklin departed for 12 with the score at 175 for four.
Taylor built nicely and accelerated past 50 to put his team in control of the match. When he holed out for 70 the match changed once more with the Australians wrestling back the momentum.
Neil Broom and Tuffey didn’t stay long, setting up a tense finish with Styris left to bat with the tail.
Things got heated towards with end of the innings as Styris hit Johnson for back to back boundaries leading to the pair facing off in the middle of the wicket.
The drama continued with Tim Southee being run out in the 47th over bringing Bond to the crease with 20 still required and the injured Oram the only man back in the shed.
Great batting by Styris reduced the runs required to 12 from 12 deliveries with Australian’s go to man Shane Watson brought into the attack. But it was Bond who took it to the visitors striking two boundaries, leaving one required off the final over.
Styris wasn’t content with nudging one – he boomed a huge six down the ground to seal the two wicket win and finish unbeaten on 49 off just 34 deliveries.
The wash up
Stand in captain Taylor singled out the experienced Styris as the key performer, “he played an outstanding role. I guess when you’ve played over 150 matches you know what to do in different situations and the way Scotty came out there and batted, we hope he can continue that form in the next few games.”

April kicks off a nationwide effort to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving, and to eliminate preventable deaths and injuries on our roadways.
Studies show that while sending a four second text, traveling at 55 mph, a person would travel the length of a football field, all the while having your eyes off the road and on your phone.
To prevent distracted driving, motorists are urged to:
-Turn off electronic devices and put them out of reach before starting to drive.
-Parents, talk to your teens about responsible driving and be the driver you want your teen to be.
-As a passenger, speak up if your driver uses an electronic device. Offer to make the call for the driver, so his or her attention stays on the task of driving.
In an effort to combat distracted driving, the Department of Transportation will be running it's first ever advertising campaign, "U Drive. U Text. U Pay". Meanwhile, law enforcement nationwide will be joining in on the effort to remind the public of the deadly consequences, as well as the the penalties for getting caught violating the state distracted driving laws.
Secretary Foxx of the DOT reminds drivers: "If you're caught texting while driving, the message you receive won't be from your cell phone, but from law enforcement - U Drive. U Text. U Pay." | <urn:uuid:a12259e0-e749-42f3-acb7-33e2f68dab03> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.montgomeryinsagency.com/blog/distracted-driver-awareness-month.aspx | 2019-06-20T21:03:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620210153-20190620232153-00523.warc.gz | en | 0.960947 | 272 |
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a commonly performed orthopedic procedure with more than 100,000 reconstructions performed annually in the United States. Despite improved surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure rates range from 5% to 25%.
In an opioid epidemic that currently claims an average of 91 lives per day, there have been many paths to addiction. For some, it started with a fall or a sports injury, a trip to a nearby emergency room and a prescription for a narcotic pain reliever that seemed to work well in the ER.
Except for increased anterior-posterior knee laxity, results from this study indicated female athletes and male athletes were not similar with regard to predictors for first-time noncontact ACL injury.

Excess weight can cause dislocation of your knee and may even lead to a complication that results in amputation of your leg.
A new study attributes a surge in dislocated knees to the U.S. obesity epidemic.
Creating a program to prevent hamstring injuries in minor league and major league baseball players might be a possibility say researchers presenting their work today at the American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine’s (AOSSM) Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs, CO.
Patients with rotator cuff tears experience fatty infiltration increased percentages of most likely caused primarily by muscle atrophy and a single image slice did not capture 3-D muscle measurements, according to recently published data.
Athletes such as Tiger Woods and Rafael Nadal are rumored to have undergone a relatively new treatment that involves injections of platelet-rich plasma. Proponents say the therapy offers cutting-edge treatment for previously debilitating injuries, including painful knee problems due to osteoarthritis.
Older men with an increasing number of specific risk factures combined with decreased bone mineral density at the femoral neck are at elevated risk for hip fracture, according to study findings.
A torn anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is one of the most common knee injuries. Approximately 200,000 Americans experience a torn ACL each year, and more than half undergo surgical repairs. Now, researchers have developed a model to show that a newer surgical technique results in a stronger, more natural ACL repair.
Results from this randomized controlled trial showed both low- and high-intensity plyometric exercise for rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction positively affected knee function, knee impairments and psychological status among patients after 8 weeks of intervention. | <urn:uuid:365c84ad-1d7b-4767-8147-c946b010bc30> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.kevinkaplanmd.com/articles-pl334-9.html | 2020-07-15T04:26:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657155816.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715035109-20200715065109-00449.warc.gz | en | 0.936132 | 512 |
back to the circuit in Figure 30, we see that
the last rank of full adder gates are also hysteresis
gates that maintain their state between wave fronts
just like the asynchronous register gates.
Since the wave front state is maintained by the
adder gates there is really no need for a separate
rank of gates just to maintain state (i.e.,
a separate asynchronous register). We can
connect the acknowledge line directly to the last
rank of processing gates and integrate the asynchronous
registration function directly into the combinational
circuit as shown in Figure 32.
With both input meanings and the acknowledge control
signal going into the last rank of gates their
threshold must now be 4.

distinction between the two domains disappears.
NULL Convention Logic is a uniform, consistent
and general language for the expression of asynchronous

of asynchronous design where the traditional Boolean
logic based approaches have failed to deliver. | <urn:uuid:dde713e7-c0b5-4574-8bea-4659bec60d61> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://theseusresearch.com/NCLPaper24.htm | 2018-03-18T19:28:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645943.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318184945-20180318204945-00123.warc.gz | en | 0.874313 | 234 |
When my husband and I entered the adoption arena, we sat in an office answering questions, just sticking our toes in the water, so to speak. We had no idea the ride we were about to take. As I answered questions about my past and salty tears slid down my cheeks, I could not take my eyes off the bulletin board on the wall. It was covered with photos of children who had been adopted. So many faces. So many new beginnings. Families in red matching Christmas sweaters smiling awkwardly at the camera. Toothless cheesy grins. Vacation photos with everyone freckled and pinked by the sun. What glorious word pictures. Then….Jerry and I were handed a stack of articles to read (as homework) about adoption. Adoptions gone wrong. Children sent back. Aggressive behaviors. Reactive Attachment Disorder. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. It was just. Just. Too. Much. Negative. So, I vowed, from that time on to be a spokeswoman for the positives about adoption. Yes, all of the above do exist in the adoption world. Yes, it is hard work. Yes, there is a semi truck or two full of ‘doing it afraid’. In spite of all of the above, the positives do outweigh the negatives. So, what is so positive about adoption?
Adoption gives a child life. When a birth mother chooses adoption over abortion, she chooses life. And that’s a good choice. Children adopted from orphanages also have life chosen for them. Often the conditions of the orphanage, or the medical treatments available (or not) can cause an early mortality rate. Thus adoption gives a child a chance at life.
12 Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.(A)
13 For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.-Psalm 139:12-14
Adoption gives a child a family. Or in the case of my adopted children, it gives a sibling group a family and the ability to keep part of their family intact. Foster care is wonderful and often it leads to family. But, adoption ensures a family. An institution or group home is no place for a child to grow up, being wards of the state until they age out of they system. Everyone needs a family, no matter what age they are. Family is who you bond with, celebrate birthdays and holidays with, go on vacations with. Family is who you come home to.
God places the solitary in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.- Psalm 68:6
Many foster children age out of the system without a hope or an idea for a future. The same is true with children in orphanages. Adoption gives them that hope. It gives them choices in education. It gives them security and with that the child can find their gifts, their talents and try them out. Have you ever had a hope? A dream? Did you see it come to pass? Some children have the dream of having their own clothes or owning some sports equipment. Some have dreams of eating three meals a day. With those three meals a day in their bellies, they can dream about other things, art, reading literature and maybe becoming a scientist.
When my children first came ‘home’, I cried many times while I was preparing dinner. The thought that these kids now had enough food on a regular basis overwhelmed me. They had a future to think about when their needs were met. Were they going to build with Legos or watch a video. Were they going to read a book or make up a puppet show?. They had choices. Good ones. Not hungry bellies.
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.- Jeremiah 29:11 | <urn:uuid:d04c6d49-66ca-4b9d-bb46-b9f0714b450b> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://thewholehouse.org/2015/03/17/whats-so-positive-about-adoption/ | 2019-12-13T08:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540551267.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20191213071155-20191213095155-00507.warc.gz | en | 0.971867 | 875 |
Three mobile service operators provide Bulgaria with almost 100% 2G and 3G network coverage both on its territory and on territorial waters.
There is also internet coverage almost everywhere in the country. In the larger towns and cities, there are wi-fi spots with free internet access. These are located mainly in the trade centers, railway stations and bus stations.
Communication operators in Bulgaria are the following:

This (captioned) video made me realize how using my voice puts all the burden of communication on me because normal hearing people don't view me as deaf. They forget I don't hear like they do, because I sound like a normal hearing person. If you identify as deaf, but your speech is clear and easily understandable, are you "voice-off" in public or "voice-on"? Have you changed your method of communication with people you've known or only with new people? Or - like Dr. G here, do you think of speech as a gift to be used only with people you trust?

- Servings: 4 with leftovers
This recipe is from Fruit: Recipes That Celebrate Nature by Bernadette Wörndl, with photography by Gunda Dittrich (Smith Street Books, © 2018, hardcover, 240 pages, 110 color photographs, $35).
Wörndl writes in the recipe's headnote:
"Traditional, simple and good. At the peak of the fruit season, there's nothing more quick and simple than this sweet pudding. For the cherry stones to impart their almond-like flavour, the stones should not, or rather must not, be removed from the cherries. Just remember to point this out to your guests before serving!"
- Butter, for greasing
- 120 g (4½ oz) caster (superfine) sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) milk
- Scraped seeds of ½ vanilla bean
- Pinch of salt
- 3 eggs
- 50 g (1¾ oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 teaspoon cherry schnapps or orange-flavoured liqueur
- 250–300 g (9–10½ oz) cherries
- 50 g (1¾ oz) icing (confectioners’) sugar
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) (conventional). Grease an ovenproof dish with butter and sprinkle with the extra sugar.
- Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla seeds and salt in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until the sugar is dissolved but the mixture is not yet boiling. Mix one of the eggs with the flour in a bowl until smooth. Add the remaining eggs and mix again until smooth. Stirring constantly, slowly add the egg and flour mixture to the hot milk. Add the cherry schnapps or orange liqueur, then pour the batter into the prepared dish. Press the cherries into the batter.
- Bake the clafoutis for 30–35 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the oven and sprinkle with the icing sugar. Switch the oven to the grill (broiler) and heat to 250°C (480°F). Return the clafoutis to the highest shelf and caramelise the top for 5–8 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly; it is best enjoyed warm. | <urn:uuid:560424bb-f00d-402a-98bf-a806e16aea30> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.thecitycook.com/recipes/2018-07-11-cherry-clafoutis | 2019-09-20T05:47:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573832.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190920050858-20190920072858-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.844659 | 491 |

Luckily, he decided to join Matthew instead of helping the girl and immediately thrust his cock up her little pink.
She tried to run away, but her legs would not move.
Jacob was extremely angered when this girl came back to the dorm from the party.
She was drunk, she was smoking and she was dressed like a cheap slut.
Pleasure turned in astonishment and then in fear, when his thick finger popped her cherry, but his strong hands didn\'t let her go until he has fully enjoyed her gorgeous flesh!

I (24) stayed at this hotel for 6 nights with a friend (23). Here are our findings and recommendations:
The room was rather small, BUT as you are only in your room to sleep and take a shower, this is not a problem!! The shower is great and the room is very clean with nice floors. The bed was very comfortable, though rather short. This was not a problem for us, but if you are a tall man, the bed may be a little too short. There was also a tv and a fridge etc. Overall, a modern and cleam room!
Hotel: The location of the hotel was perfect ! It's very central, right in the middle of ocean drive. You just have to cross the street to get to the beach and there are so many restaurants nearby! We had a room on the 3rd floor, facing another building (not the street side), so we didn't had noise problems. They do, however, provide earplugs. The staff at the front desk was very friendly.
Overall, choose this hotel if you go to south beach, cause everything (restaurants, beach, shops, ...) is in walking distance!! I think this hotel is perfect for couples (young and old) and friends. | <urn:uuid:bbdba5cc-cba3-4ed5-b0b6-d6d00bd65347> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34439-d85065-r197387166-Room_Mate_Waldorf_Towers-Miami_Beach_Florida.html | 2015-07-06T12:44:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098196.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00091-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984951 | 259 |
There's another Aussie trait he can't shake, nor does he want to - a sense of humor that may be somewhat peculiar to what used to be a British penal colony. "Paul Hogan is my comedy inspiration," Gillespie announces. Really? "No, not at all. He was just the Benny Hill of Australia. Didn't mean a thing to me." That's it right there. There's an Aussie style of humor, Gillespie explains, and "it's just very dry. There are two ways to tell a joke: You can be chuckling through it as you come up to the punchline, or you can be completely deadpan so the punchline just comes out of left field. That's the Aussie way; straightfaced delivery, you don't see it coming."
One thing we do see coming is Gillespie, on his third year with production hotshop MJZ, as a major commercials funnyman with a future. He was a 2001 DGA Best Commercials Director nominee on the strength of yock-infested campaigns for Holiday Inn Express and Citibank, from Fallon/Minneapolis, and broad, sight-gag successes for SBC and Goodby, Silverstein. His hilarious streak began well before that, however, when he was at Coppos Films, where his 1997 JWT/Chicago, Kraft Miracle Whip spot, "Man's Best Friend," was shortlisted at Cannes. This bit of inspired lunacy, in which a dog makes a sandwich for his master, was something of a mixed blessing, as Gillespie sees it. "That got a lot of attention, but not really the attention I was looking for, because it's so effects oriented. Dog humor would be a bad pigeonhole. I try to stay away from animals. I really didn't find my legs until H&R Block." That would be the following year, and this Y&R/Chicago campaign was also shortlisted at Cannes, as well as winning One Show Gold. Gillespie still has an H&R Block spot on his reel, which supplies the impetus for the photo setup seen here; a guy decides to do his own taxes, and over the course of several weeks becomes a deranged insomniac with a foam ceiling full of sharpened pencils. "Basically, I was trying to find my own style," recalls Gillespie, and with the Block campaign, he more or less did. "I can equate it to art school, where you study drawing and try to master various styles, then you develop your own. So I experimented with different techniques and studied the work of all the directors I admired at the time - guys like Sedelmaier, Fincher and Michael Bay during his 'Got Milk?' phase - and I finally found my own voice. I found that what I enjoyed above all was dealing with actors and comedic timing."
That art school reference isn't coming out of left field, Aussie humor aside. Gillespie was attending the School of Visual Arts in Sydney - "There was a tiny, dinky branch there," he was surprised to discover - and he won a scholarship to the New York flagship. Did he have an early interest in advertising? "Not really. I'd already dropped out of university in Sydney, where I was studying stuff like economics. Art school was about all that was left. It was a four-year scholarship to New York and every year I thought would be my last, but I ended up staying the whole way through. I started with illustration, moved on to graphic design, then on to advertising. It was a good school and I got what I needed and went right into advertising." Gillespie, in fact, put in a decade as a New York art director, starting at JWT and working his way through DMB&B, Ammirati & Puris and BBDO, finally landing at Deutsch - for eight weeks. "I was told I'd be able to direct stuff, so I went in as an ACD on Ikea. A lot of guys had gone this directing route in the past through Deutsch. What I wasn't told was that Ikea wasn't doing any TV for the next year and a half. That's when I shot the serious spec." Earlier, he'd shot the not so serious spec. "I actually was interested in directing very early on in my agency career," Gillespie explains. "It just took a long time to make it happen. Back when I was around 22, I used to shoot stuff with a producer friend, we'd rent cameras. A few years later I had four spec spots, 16mm handheld, two were comedy. I went to somebody at a production company, I was pretty excited about it. He watched it, he shrugged and said, 'I know 200 DPs who could do that for me.' So I made two more spec spots on 35mm, built sets, went the whole nine yards. They cost about $20,000, which was a lot of money to me. They were for a friend of mine who had a pizza place in Pennsylvania. Comedy, yes, but you want to cover all the bases: storyline, dialogue, performance. And I got signed after that." That was at the late Fahrenheit Films, which led to Coppos. We've all heard about the advantages of being a former creative when you get behind the camera; are there any disadvantages? "The only one might be, in the beginning people will say, 'So what? He was an art director last year.' But as you get away from that, it's all advantages."
As for the fairly momentous move from Coppos to MJZ, "it was very ironic," recalls Gillespie. "One week I was talking to [president] David Zander about joining MJZ and he was saying it wasn't a good time, he'd just hired some comedy guys. The next week I was bidding against [MJZ's] Rocky Morton on H&R Block, and I got it. Six months later I came to MJZ. And I'm very happy here, I have to say. I just have a fabulous relationship with Zander. It's great to have somebody's opinion that you can respect. We have very similar tastes and we both push just as hard on the projects that we care about. Probably half the shop is comedy now, but I think that's good. It's all just inspiration to me. And I've got good relationships with agencies that I love working with, like Fallon and Goodby, so it's like dominoes. They're great creatives, they work with great editors and music houses - it makes it all better."
Better yet, Gillespie appears to be scoring all over the comedy map, possibly rendering him niche-proof. He even has a frenetic Chevy car-chase spot, which he says was inspired by John Frankenheimer's Ronin, that looks like his ticket to an action feature. How does he characterize his work? "I just try not to get pigeonholed. I go for jobs that inspire me somehow, then I figure out the best way to execute them. I'm consciously trying not to fall into old routines. If your goal is to find the best way to tell this joke, you'll be varying film styles and camera moves and what have you, since the likelihood is there'll be a different best way for each project. All my work is varying degrees of comedy, but it's all comedy. I find it hard to take a spot too seriously. If it's just beautiful, for instance, it gets a little too self-involved for me. By the end of the spot, I'd have to make a joke of it." | <urn:uuid:947729a2-6d4f-4603-8cc4-9ce1d2419d38> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://adage.com/article/tech-page/pencil/91663/ | 2016-09-28T10:31:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661349.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00047-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990802 | 1,572 |

Prof Mazzucato was a panelist at US Senate Forum on middle-class prosperity
Mariana Mazzucato, RM Phillips Professor in the Economics of Innovation at SPRU, in the University of Sussex, gave evidence to a US Senate Forum of the Middle-Class Prosperity Project, convened by Senator Elizabeth Warren and Congressman Elijah Cummings, in Washington DC on Monday 27th July, 2015.
Mazzucato was invited as a panelist at the hearing, to talk about her work on the role of public investments in fuelling innovation led growth, and the problems associated with the mainstream narrative about who the ‘wealth creators’ are. The Middle-Class Prosperity Project is examining the issue of declining middle-class incomes in America, aiming to focus greater congressional and public attention on the challenges facing the middle class, and to formulate and implement concrete policy changes in order to address these challenges. Previous panellists included Joseph Stiglitz and Jared Bernstein.
A shorter video of the debate starting with Prof Mazzucato is also available.
In June 2015, the New York Times’ Eduardo Porter wrote a piece about Professor Mazzucato’s work on how the US could better share both the risks and rewards of innovation, concluding that “Professor Mazzucato’s proposal is worth pondering…. Taxpayers have a large, unacknowledged role in the nation’s innovation. They deserve some credit. And perhaps more, if that’s what it would take to power innovation’s future.”
A new US edition of her book, The Entrepreneurial State: debunking public vs. private sector myths, with a new introduction, will be published by Public Affairs in October this year. In 2014 Foreign Affairs published an article by Professor Mazzucato on the Innovative State. In May 2014 the book was discussed at a hearing of the US Senate Appropriations Committee when it was cited by Dr Francis S Collins, Director of the National Institutes for Health. | <urn:uuid:71fee164-cb2f-40fb-ae7b-8a7353df8c2d> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.sussex.ac.uk/spru/newsandevents/2015h/talks/mazzucatosenate | 2017-04-29T13:16:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123491.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00315-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957876 | 416 |

Jackson State athletic director Ashley Robinson has a knack for picking great head coaches
He also gave head coaches at Prairie View A&M and Florida A&M their first shot at top jobs
Ashley Robinson is a baaaaad man when it comes to hiring football coaches, and he knows it.
Understand, finding a football coach is the most important hire any athletic director makes because the football coach is the face of the university at most schools.
Facts: Robinson has hired three of the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s best coaches.
As Prairie View A&M’s athletic director from 2013 to 2018, he hired Willie Simmons and Eric Dooley. As Jackson State’s athletic director, he made the nation’s boldest hire by landing Deion Sanders.
Prairie View A&M (7-4), coached by Dooley, and Jackson State (10-1), coached by Sanders, will play Saturday in the SWAC championship at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. Florida A&M, coached by Simmons, made the FCS playoffs on Nov. 27 with a 9-2 record.
Before losing to Southeastern Louisiana in the playoffs, Florida A&M had only lost to Jackson State in the Orange Blossom Classic and South Florida.
“With Coach Prime, Coach Simmons and Coach Dooley all doing really well,” said Robinson, “it just shows that a little boy from Mississippi knows how to hire coaches.”
So how does Robinson keep surveying the landscape and finding the right coaches? First, he’s always paying attention.
With Sanders, he heard the Hall of Fame cornerback mention his interest in coaching during an NFL Network interview.
Robinson was bold enough to believe he could hire him. The result has been impressive.
Jackson State, which has its first 10-win season since 1996, won a SWAC divisional title for the first time since 2013.
Jackson State hasn’t won the SWAC since 2007.
“Coach Prime was the biggest hire in the country, and it shows now,” Robinson said. “I don’t care whether you were at the Power 5 level or the FCS level.
“The goal was when you turn the TV on to see Jackson State and when you turn the radio on to hear about Jackson State and when you open up the newspaper to see Jackson State, and Coach Prime brought that to Jackson State.”
Robinson watched Simmons’ offense produce prolific numbers at Alcorn State, including a 77-48 win over Prairie View A&M in 2014.
Alcorn State averaged 44 points a game in 2014 and led the SWAC in seven offensive categories with Simmons as coordinator.
“I’m indebted to him because [Robinson] took a chance on me when nobody would,” Simmons said. “He’s kind of a head coach whisperer.
“He gave me my first job. He gave Coach Prime his first job and he gave Coach Dooley his first job.”
Dooley was a veteran coach with 21 years of experience in the SWAC.
He had been Grambling’s offensive coordinator when the Tigers won three consecutive SWAC Western Division titles and went 33-2 against SWAC competition.
“I can’t put in words what he has done for me,” said Dooley, “to give me the opportunity to be sitting in this chair right now.”
After Robinson targets a coach, due diligence occurs.
Robinson picks up his cellphone and starts calling folks ranging from other athletic directors to coaches to former players.
It’s an information-gathering process that might require 15-20 calls for one coach.
The first phone call, said Robinson, is always the most important.
Robinson’s first conversation with Sanders lasted so long that the battery on his cellphone nearly died.
“You want to make sure it’s the right fit for that institution,” Robinson said. “Can they fit in with the alumni? Can they fit in with your supporters? Can they fit in with your city?
“All universities are different. You have to check the box on all of those things before you hire a coach.”
The job, of course, is only beginning once a coach is hired.
Robinson calls himself a “support” athletic director, which means he gives the head coach as much latitude as he needs to run the program.
He stays out of football decisions unless asked for his opinion.
His job is to give the coach whatever he needs to succeed, so there are no excuses for not winning championships.
“It’s not just about making a hire and saying I’m done with it,” he said. “The work starts when you make the hire.
“Putting things in place to make them successful. Honoring their requests and understanding how they like to do things.”
Last summer, Jackson State contemplated spending $125,000 to have players stay in a hotel the night before games during their four-game home spring schedule.
Sanders said he preferred to keep the players housed in the dorms if Robinson would take $25,000 of the money to get a new set of helmets.
That’s the type of cooperation each coach says is needed to win at the highest level.
“Ashley pursued me when I didn’t even fathom this and he called, he called, he called and he called and he did his homework,” Sanders said. “He would call and say things like, ‘How did Bossy play?’ I would be like, ‘How do you know I call my daughter Bossy?’
“He did things that endeared me to him and we have such a wonderful relationship and we’ve learned so much from each other, it’s unbelievable.” | <urn:uuid:822c3fa3-4214-44b9-a12e-38f9e8558c41> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://theundefeated.com/features/jackson-state-athletic-director-ashley-robinson-has-a-knack-for-picking-great-head-coaches/ | 2022-01-21T11:10:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303356.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121101528-20220121131528-00112.warc.gz | en | 0.974492 | 1,258 |
A few weeks ago I stopped at my local farm stand - a dangerous move for a gardener/cook/shopper. While peering though the endless rows of geraniums & local veg, I found something new. These dazzling pink pom-poms were popping out from the end of the row. Instantly, I fell in love with these flowers. English Daisies are low-profile, flower non-stop, and are with standing the recent lack of rain & cold nights. In my book, that's a keeper.
They come in red too!
None of the pollinating insects - butterflies, lady bugs, honey bees, etc...- have taken an interest, yet. But the recent chilly nights have probably kept them away. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any buzzing around in the front yard either. To get a better sense of what to expect out of the daisies, I did a little research. According to the Washington State University Master Gardener program, these beauties are a weed! Arg! Sounds like they are similar to dandelions. Which I don't despise, but I don't cultivate them either. The WSU article offers many different ways to remove the flowers, should they take over your lawn, including numerous applications of herbicide. I don't recommend using any herbicides. Put on a pair of gloves and remove whatever is taking over your space. Herbicides have a nasty habit of getting into ground water and the soil we grow our food in.
We'll see if they survive the scorching mid-Atlantic summer. If not, marigolds will easily take their spot. Weed or not - these flowers were a welcome burst of color during our odd spring. I hope that I can save the seeds and grow them again next year! | <urn:uuid:9739f552-1f6b-4c07-baff-621d214c3e82> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.thesoffritto.com/blog/in-the-garden/english-daisies | 2017-06-26T14:03:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320763.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626133830-20170626153830-00009.warc.gz | en | 0.955164 | 371 |

Kia Motors America and B.R.A.K.E.S. Expand Hands on Defensive Driving Education Throughout Southern-California
Due to overwhelming public interest, B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe) and Kia Motors America (KMA) are expanding the Teen Pro-Active Driving School throughout Southern California in an effort to help reduce the high rate of motor vehicle accidents involving teenage drivers. In a region with approximately 750,000 potential new drivers between the ages of 16 and 20,[i] B.R.A.K.E.S. training programs will be conducted beginning late May in Costa Mesa, Pomona, San Diego and Fontana. According to a recent study, teens who complete the B.R.A.K.E.S. program are 64 percent less likely to be involved in an accident in their first three years of driving,1 and 84 percent of all B.R.A.K.E.S. graduates since 2011 had no crashes.1
“The leading cause of death for American teens is motor vehicle crashes, and our mission is to prevent injuries and save lives by providing young drivers with the real-life driving experience they need in a safe and controlled environment,” said Doug Herbert, founder of B.R.A.K.E.S. and recipient of the Peter K. O'Rourke Special Achievement Award from the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). “Teaching young drivers how to manage potentially dangerous conditions gives them an advantage should they ever encounter similar situations on the road.”
Participating teens and their parents will receive hands-on defensive driving education from B.R.A.K.E.S.’ team of highly skilled professional instructors, which includes former race car drivers, stunt drivers and secret service agents. Instruction, in vehicles provided by Kia, includes a distracted driving course, handling emergency braking situations ─ utilizing anti-lock braking systems, evasive maneuvering and skid-control practice. The program adheres to a low three-to-one student-to-teacher ratio to ensure personal attention is provided to every driver. Parents also participate in the courses to ensure proper driving techniques are reinforced long-term after the training is completed.
Kia is the Official Vehicle and presenting sponsor of the B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School and provides a fleet of more than 40 vehicles. With Kia’s support, B.R.A.K.E.S. continues to increase the number of schools offered and expand into new markets.
“Kia places a priority on vehicle safety, and our partnership with B.R.A.K.E.S. reflects our commitment to keep drivers safe on the road, which begins with practical, hands-on driving experience,” said Tim Chaney, vice president of marketing communications, KMA. “The B.R.A.K.E.S. program has been proved to improve driving skills and help teens make better decisions when behind the wheel. Even if one accident is prevented as a result of this training, that’s a win.”
The B.R.A.K.E.S. Training Curriculum includes the following:
- Accident Avoidance/Slalom: This forces students to make a split-second decision to execute a quick, evasive lane change when encountering an unexpected object without losing control of the vehicle. Students must navigate their vehicle around cones while focusing on weight transfer, hand positioning and eye scanning.
- Distracted Driving: The course demonstrates the danger that cell phones, text messaging, and other distractions can pose while driving.
- Drop Wheel/Off Road Recovery: The drop-wheel recovery course teaches students how to effectively recover when one or more of their wheels veers off the road surface and onto the shoulder, regaining control of the car and safely returning to the roadway.
- Panic Stop: The panic-stop course instructs students on proper braking techniques to help stop a vehicle in the shortest distance possible while maintaining control. Students and their parents experience firsthand the pulsating brake pedal effects of Antilock Brake Systems (ABS) and how to control the vehicle when ABS is engaged.
- Car Control and Recovery: A wet skid pad simulates wet-road conditions. Students learn how to recover from both oversteer (rear wheel) and understeer (front wheel) skids.
- Other learning experiences vary by school but can include an eye-opening view from the driver’s seat of a big-rig truck with a discussion about safe zones and blind spots, as well as demonstrations from police and fire-rescue agencies. | <urn:uuid:99948c8b-767c-4b06-8de8-9900437c4eb3> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.thenewsmarket.com/global/kia-motors-america/kia-motors-america-and-b.r.a.k.e.s.-expand-hands-on-defensive-driving-education-throughout-southern-/s/0450553d-f105-42eb-b221-602759892943 | 2017-09-21T23:15:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687938.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921224617-20170922004617-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.929503 | 1,000 |
In 1984 SPRED came to Glasgow.
St Andrews & Edinburgh
SPRED started in St Andrews & Edinburgh in 1997 with groups meeting in the Centre. Over time these groups grew and expanded until now, when there are 12 groups around the archdiocese with 6 being in the training centre, 1 being within the city and the other 5 in towns in various deaneries.
Over a fourteen year period 5 dioceses in Scotland provided volunteers who were prepared to do the training and make the commitment to make SPRED a fixture in parish communities. It is a long process but worth every minute of it. Perhaps the other dioceses will take up the challenge and make SPRED part of their organisations. | <urn:uuid:7e135f39-e9ae-4784-8351-7715ab315ede> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://spred-st-andrews-edinburgh.org.uk/about-us/our-history/ | 2019-07-22T18:14:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528208.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722180254-20190722202254-00457.warc.gz | en | 0.963823 | 144 |
