Beatrice Black Bear
The World's Wettest Dam Photographer
by John Grandits, illustrated by Brian Floca
Image: There is a picture of a bear, with a camera, standing at the base of a large dam and gesturing towards the top.
Bear says, “I'm taking pictures at Lake Powell in Arizona. That huge wall is a dam built across the Colorado River. It holds back the water to create the lake.
“Dams do a lot of work. They help make electricity, and people use lake water for drinking and farming.”
Image: There is a picture of a bear with swimming goggles, and overlays of a person sailboarding, and of three children playing in the water.
Bear says, “But when the work is done, it's time for fun! The lake is great for sailboarding… or swimming with your friends.”
Image: There is picture of a bear water skiing in a human pyramid. The women on the bear's shoulders have started to fall.
Bear says, “Water skiing is the best, but it's not as easy as it looks!”
- What would happen if people put trash or oil into Lake Powell?
[anno: They would pollute the water. People and animals could get sick if they drank the water.]
- Imagine you live near Lake Powell. Make a poster that tells why it is important to keep Lake Powell clean. Draw pictures to show what would happen to the people, plants, and animals if the lake had oil and trash in it. Draw other pictures to show those people, plants, and animals when the lake is clean.
[anno: Posters will vary but should show two sets of pictures for people, plants, and animals. One set should show them to be healthy, and the other set should show them to be sickly.] | <urn:uuid:ff44c13f-3dfb-4850-a09d-29a48d06ccee> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.eduplace.com/parents/hmsc/1/c/cricket/cktcontent_1c72.shtml | 2014-08-31T00:23:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500835844.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021355-00274-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970433 | 390 |

Several days ago, I talked to my Canadian niece that is born, Hanan Mansoor, in her 5th year, was a first year college registration Ontario, at Pringle Public school Whitby. On my mission what she would want to be when grownup. She responded, “I will turn into a tutor.” I had been stunned why and just how this child, in this era sufficient reason for this type of class that was minimum coverage, was motivated by her teacher. I really could not more examine what definitely encouraged as I may suppose she reflected the treatment and focus given to her her to be always a teacher. Clearly, now educational inspiration is reflected by her intellectual faculties cant. Perhaps a psychologist may help with a much better reasoning, if so. Quickly, I was shed in to my own past and tried to connect my prior schooling with this specific scenario that was childs to school moment. I pondered what had encouraged me to attain as much as my profile’s orgasm? Was there any role-model showing within my academic raised?
Home has 52 unused goods lying around worth $ 3.
The overview of this review is specified in the following phases: Junior and basic Intermediate Level: In my own primary schooling, I dont remember if I was personality or ever satisfied wise determined by any educator being a role model. Maybe, one purpose might be that I had people with in your family who were welleducated and located at increased jobs. On my mentioned purpose while in the family shadowed as such their ruling. Another risk could possibly be the school program that I attended was not expertly articulated to stress pupils-instructor interaction. We didn’t have female educators in college that is boys. Also the elementary school had individual colleges for children. While, some selected socalled British channel universities presented co-education program. There’s however, need to study different examples extracted from circumstances that are different before any conclusion is reached. Our understanding for instructor was merely in relation to often the caliber of kindness or his lesson plan for gentle treatment or lineage mindset.
Recall, greater detail is better.
No persona impression that could have provoked me to be in my every day life like him was quit by none of the trainer. Supplementary/ Intermediate Training Level: Where at least one might judge effectively or undesirable reasonably grown-up phase. None was a driving pressure which may infuse any change within my persona although I had preference for your academics but. I therefore, do not assume there was any role-model in the classroom stars. The influence on me was of our primary. He was remarkable and really energetic persona for many factors. Some of those traits he reflected through his speeches he used-to make every morning in-general construction. Your basic assemblage was unlike Us schools.

There is no PA system supply of communication between individuals and university supervision. All learners were constructed at their given position with their friends making use of their primary/or house variety tutor, managing behind in a open cinema. This assembly theater had centrally located cemented plate-form round the bark of a large and old pine providing level for your key to address the individuals on-key issues or over schedules of daily school company. Each day was started from Mom Quran with terms presentation followed by national anthem performed from the school band type. The owning position of primary, discipline of the complete school in all respect’s key was a powerful impression that’s still appreciated. Ultimately, it had been the control temperament of the main that infused directly into my mind. I’d wanted to resemble him. The weather of his personality were visible within my norms though, I displayed unique functions in my own sensible living nonetheless. I believe this is teacher’s primary affect like a role-model within my living.
Guidelines please be as comprehensive that you can inside your explanation.
Elderly Advanced/Public Sector College-Level: Unlike US- Canadian college program, inside the public education, British education system is still repaired in Southeast Asia. After G-10 in supplementary schools, faculties present 2 years intermediate that is mature accompanied under graduate program by 24 months. The students were expected required uniforms, a blue blazer with faculty crest (group) on the chest pocket. Violators were put through school proctors and charges specified by faculty physique escorted the system. Students own body that was a great illustration of self discipline carried the function that’s done hallway screens and by Vice-Principals in The United States out. At college-level, the discipline that individuals inherited from our university primary was in practice again in akind. Although there was more flexibility and quality of emancipation yet the system of tip and accountability of accountability was in position. At this time, I had been in a position to assess what exactly with my own personal judgement. I’d liberty to decide on programs of my own personal fascination.
Deontology deontology is just an obligation-motivated ethical system.
Maintaining in-view a teacher’s educational report and individual trustworthiness, pupils had an option to change pieces together with the agreement of the college viceprincipal over until the end of enrollment’s primary week. It was of offering choice to be nearer to ones role-model, another means. I had been thus, able to assess instructional brilliance of instructors besides his individuality viewpoint. I perfectly remember these teachers who had become dear tome for their skilled advantage as well as for their focused commitment while in the shift of information. At occasions, adopt teaching after master degree in technology as career and I’d made a decision to become one like them. Debate and I used to speak like my English teacher and of course, some situations, utilized blackboard subsequent lecturing kind of my physics instructor to rehearse my understanding, within an empty class. Their faculties slowly began owning my own personality while in the following methods: Our pursuit to find out more Our power convey and to communicate my ideas Our choice to dress a specialist way instead of casual learners method up. University Degree-Level: In university level registration at Quaid-I-Azam School, I was introduced to a unique although completely different academic life style.
Boost your brainpower by training your ” reveal energy.”2.
I experienced enormous autonomy of thinking. I found most tutors keeping doctoral levels from universities that were global and lots of of these had countrywide reputation for their info that was qualified. I observed some on issues of clinical joy inside the sessions and others while in the auditorium in seminars. It was seminar series’ routine that implanted thought-provoking skill. When I was raised more in following semesters, it was more increased. I’ll want to offer afew samples of role models at university level and reveal how teachers become successful role-model. I never forget a vetnarian, Ali Hashmi Tutor and Dean of Sciences. Later, he emerged as provincial training minister and federal education secretary in one single plan. He was a specialist milestone within my personality.
You can purchase books on different matters.
Being mature put he had several administrative jobs about the university he was form to consider one-hour seminar interval for the category, once-weekly. His huge global experience and kindness to communicate with individuals of 1st year master stage lessons was striking. More, his one-on-one care for pupils to put them on researchable topics of nationwide attention was a great eagerness. I remember it had been 1970-71, nutritional protein deficit, improving populace and likely engine healthy infection incidence were the scary nationwide problems. Dr Hashmi usually-stressed on increasing beef assets through exploitation of milk cow herds, lamb goat facilities, fishponds farms etc. I noticed pamphlets and several reports he passed on to policy maker in the public sector. His instant target however, were fowl facilities heart crops concerning him, these were the short cut and financially feasible groups to academic writing service complement the quick need in the smallest possible time. Subsequently, dog and Place research mentors received research awards from the donor agencies and the government. The pupils were selecting thesis study about the respected topics.
Please be as comprehensive as you are able to within your explanation.
Resultantly, in about a decade, in 1980s, I observed structure of Dry Agriculture University installed. Instruction task and a provincially funded water provided investigation ABAD onland in the overall place, enlargement of fowl network structured by hen farmers association having its origins, reliability of bass on beach and dams stream extended its market through inland fish pond farming. For seed protein places that are alternate, food legume impulses investigation and advancement plans were in place underneath the oversight of Agricultural Research Council. Numerous researchers and producers were trained to enhance over-all nationwide yields of heart plants by presenting high yielding varieties. This was a good example of change, an example of structured innovation that not simply distressed the minds of the pupils for your problems, fairly additionally changed the culture of gardening and clinical group. A became a job model perhaps and for me for many others who specialized in his vision. Like a role model Dr Hashmi left the next changes in my own temperament: Progress understanding for community-building process and nationwide, Expand understanding through aspirations and never restricting to reading that is simple, Take difficulties and cause finish, Collection objectives, layout thrusts, and expand collaboratively. The objective of above product in your mind led me and US where I accomplished a portion of my objective while doing a doctoral level as well as minute master degree, at Kansas State University Ny. At advanced schooling ranges, specially through instructional pursuit’s phases, there are incidences of retreat essentially the being that is most important, as a result of any purpose: Financial (Student loan schemes, or part-time careers aren’t as frequent as in Europe or The United States), Interpersonal (the pupils reveal family responsibilities consequently, any compulsion can lead to fall studies), Learning Impairment (Lack of higher order thinking, poor GPA leading to necessary expulsion.
Concerning the creator cory l.
Instructors helping learners in either of the type that was above out were seen sustained impact on students for duty and their attention. One example of its-kind that I experienced is quoted for example. Quaid-i-Azam before end result of BS was furnished University enrolled me. Since we’d staged a go out in one single report and the Punjab’s School needed to reschedule the assessment. Declining to provide provisional enrollment is resulted by BS was rejected. I obtained the effect card after one term and was currently tentative to participate School being one session senior from my peers, a cultural dilemma. It was a coincident that the school tutor Dr Hussan Chaudhry encountered me. I waited for the coach to home and Tutor headed to College for coaching. Initially, I expected what I do and attempted to cover but he stuck me.
Memorize the location these notes on the keyboard of each.
His one-on-one interaction followed closely by several evenings enrolled me not only for this stage system that was particular, but prepared me to go up for conclusion of 3 additional degrees at North American Colleges in Canada and USA. Ashraf became a task model as my persona was embedded with some of his traits: Caring students and coworker for their particular problems to help learning, Promote individuals and co-workers because of their attributes to develop self confidence, Present options to others for the best exploitation of sources and attain targets, Produce confidence and responsibility to others for collective answer tactic, Target difficulties with bravery and confidence, keep heads-up, put eyeball contact while address others. A leadership position. Never stop trying or retreat.Show as effective and champion even although you are misplaced. Now, that I have worked more than 20 years in study and education, I suppose automatically or inadvertently, I have practiced my role-models in everyday life. In my classroom training, I try and display quality of conduct that is individual, I find it difficult to encourage my students for their outstanding planning in their jobs. I attempt to commit my qualities to the scope that students are encouraged skillfully. Conclusion: I believe trainer could be a role model at-all ranges provided he is ready and dedicated to his responsibility. Reaction here my claim out of this and that their surrounding affects the individuals is immediate online society.
Or, you might just uncover whatnot to do.
School, university, university and for investigation lab and that subject library will be the sites where teachers will be the ones who’ve tremendous experiences of each and every time living that his pupils absence. Perspective of sensible lifestyle when interpreted it must effect the lifestyles of pupils. If a tutor inspire or can not affect students to get a profitable society, he increase his accountability. A while, tome, training looks more missionary support rather than professional training. It’s consequently, essential that its focus is concentrated by the investigation in knowledge on features of academics at various degrees that are instructional. The study outcomes be claimed and picked for general and unique choosing of teaching staff for every degree. | <urn:uuid:2dc1d8c5-ad8e-4c4b-927e-c94179c849ac> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://scca.ba/2018/03/30/scrapbook-paper-storage/ | 2021-09-25T03:59:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057589.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210925021713-20210925051713-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.975944 | 2,702 |
Customer data is the soul of an organization. Quality data is priceless and acts as a driver of high productivity and good decision making. Managing Quantity and Quality parallelly has always been a challenge. Same is the case with data now-a days, as the data volumes grew rapidly, the data quality went down, posing a serious challenge in maintaining the sanctity of databases. This challenge of avoiding data duplicity and keeping the orgs clean is faced by almost every company and although it may seem like a trivial issue, the impact these duplicates have on businesses cannot be looked down upon.
All the marketing and service activities revolve around the customer database that a company has.
Duplicates prevailing in a system means:
- Increased cost for marketing campaigns.
- Bombarding the same customers with the same information multiple times, eventually degrading the brand image in the minds of customers.
- Reduced Operational Efficiency.
- Confusion among the sales reps while processing requests.
- Bad service experience encountered by the clients.
- Bad Data leads to Badly informed business decisions.
- Increased challenges in maintaining the database or moving the current system to a new one.
What causes these duplicates:
- Human error “ Sales Rep entering duplicates
- Multiple sources capturing the same information
- No instrument to restrict duplicates from entering the system
Some pointers on how you can keep your Salesforce org clean:
- Think of all the ways the customer data enters your CRM system: Manual customer data Entry by Sales Reps, bulk customer data upload, Automated Lead Sources like web to lead, etc. and ensure that you have them all covered to avoid duplicates entering your CRM system.
- Keep a mandatory field on each Object which handles your customer data, one which is relevant to your business operation like a phone number or an email on Lead. For Standard fields have your tech. team enable Duplicate Rules & Matching rules to avoid duplicates formation and for Custom fields check do not allow duplicates so that Salesforce won’t accept duplicity against that field on the Object and sales rep won’t be able to create duplicate records.
- If your mandatory field is a picklist field, ensure that you enable restricted picklist for that field as Salesforce allows values coming in from external systems other than the field picklist values also.
- Monitor the data that your CRM system is getting from multiple sources to keep an eye if anything wrong is happening around your data so to handle the situation in time. Generally, companies don’t realize this until they have loads of dirty data existing in their CRM systems and then try to recuperate from the damage.
- Ensure that you have clean data while uploading data in bulk into your system.
- Define all your lead sources clearly and distinctly, this can avoid a lot of confusion when leads start to pour-in from multiple channels.
- Make sure your Sales Reps fill all the necessary customer details in the form and instruct them not to save a half-filled form.
- Cloning the records should not be a general habit of the team, this leads to human error of saving the cloned records without making relevant changes and thus creating duplicates. You can even disable the Clone button from the layout if you want to.
- Use standard Salesforce Reports for tracking duplicates entering your system (if any) are essential to your business or not.
- With large volumes of data coming in your system, some duplicates are anyway bound to enter your database, one way or the other. Use a deduplication tool, this can really make your life easy by keeping your Salesforce org clean of duplicates.
Check out Dupicate Search and Merge “ The Perfect Duplicate management app for Salesforce. DSM solves all your data duplicity problems and can save you time and effort in keeping your org clean.

Gas fell 1.8 percent. The National Hurricane Center said Isaac, in the southeastern Gulf, will become a Category 1 hurricane before reaching Louisiana Aug. 29. About 48 percent of offshore output was shut today, the government said. The Gulf accounted for 7 percent of U.S. gas production in 2011, down from 17 percent in 2005.
“The dependence on the Gulf is so much less,” said Dominick Chirichella, senior partner at the Energy Management Institute in New York. “With the intensity that this thing is projected to have, it doesn’t look like it will result in a lot of infrastructure damage.”
Gas for September delivery fell 4.9 cents to $2.653 per million British thermal on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement price since June 22. Gas has declined 11 percent this year.
October $3 calls, bets that prices will rise, were the most actively traded gas options. They fell 2.9 cents to 6.2 cents on volume of 1,401 contracts.
Isaac was about 280 miles (450 kilometers) southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River with top winds of 65 miles per hour, the Miami-based hurricane center said in a 2 p.m. advisory. The storm may go ashore south of New Orleans with winds peaking at Category 1 strength of 85-90 mph on the five- step Saffir-Simpson scale, the center said. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 went ashore as a Category 3 storm, according to Weather Underground, a website based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
BP Plc and Anadarko Petroleum are among companies that have evacuated offshore personnel from a total of 346 oil and gas platforms and 41 rigs, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said. About 2.17 billion cubic feet of gas were offline.
“Cooling rains and possible power outages are demand-side offsets to what might be” 3 billion cubic feet a day of offshore production losses, Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York, said in a note to clients today.
Temperatures in most of the lower 48 states will be above normal through Sept. 5 with the Gulf and West coasts will see normal readings, according to MDA EarthSat Weather in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The high in New York on Sept. 4 may be 87 degrees Fahrenheit (31 Celsius), 8 above normal, and Chicago may be 5 above normal at 84 degrees, AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania, said.
Cooling demand nationwide will be 20 percent above normal over the next seven days, according to Weather Derivatives in Belton, Missouri.
Gas inventories totaled 3.308 trillion cubic feet in the week ended Aug. 17, 12 percent above the five-year average for the week. Hotter-than-normal weather boosted demand from power plants, helping to narrow the supply surplus from a six-year high of 61 percent at the end of March.
The Energy Department said inventories may end October at an all-time high of 3.954 trillion cubic feet. Increased production from shale formations such as the Marcellus in the Northeast is making up for lower output from less-profitable deposits such as the Haynesville shale in Louisiana and the long-term decline in Gulf production, the department said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook on Aug. 7.

Yesterday we had another full day in Trujillo.
In the morning, Doug Morgan, Luis Diaz and I met with the student leaders of the UNT (National University of Trujillo) School of Medicine. In UNC terms, it was like meeting with the leadership of the Whitehead Medical Society, our student association.
They are an obviously bright and very motivated group of young physicians-to-be. They had planned the medical student congress that was to have been in Trujillo this week, which was unfortunately postponed due to H1N1 flu concerns. It turns out the congress is now going to occur in November. They invited us to come back then, but I'm not sure we all can.
In mid-day, Doug gave a talk to a packed auditorium at the main teaching hospital about his work on gastric cancer in Latin America. He gave it in fluent Spanish but the combination of the very helpful slides and a number of similar words I was able to follow it pretty well.
In the afternoon we visited another archeological site near Trujillo this one is the Temple of the Moon. It is an incredible pyramid site, with very impressive stone work and painted designs.
Last evening we flew to Lima and over-nighted there.
This morning, first thing, we flew to Cuzco. It was the capital of the Inca Empire, and is a major tourist attraction. We spent all of this afternoon visiting various sites around Cuzco and thoroughly enjoyed it all.
But Cuzco is at more than 10,000 feet elevation and I have the constant feeling of lightheadedness and shortness of breath. I've medicated myself some and now feel better.
On one of the stops this afternoon we walked up a long path to see an archeological site and I had to stop several times. I thought I was in pretty good physical shape but the UNC Wellness Center and Cuzco are quite different!
This combination of global health partnership and now a little vacation is really pleasant. It is especially nice that Will is able to join me in all of this. | <urn:uuid:d6168cda-4d26-4d6a-b473-0cee61d95dba> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://roperhealth.com/2009/08/09/trujillo-and-cuzco/ | 2018-01-18T05:32:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887067.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180118051833-20180118071833-00142.warc.gz | en | 0.979866 | 433 |
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, yesterday at Nehru Auditorium, Mumbai, launched the the first look of his film The attacks of 26/11, amidst all the media as well as those policemen who were involved with those attacks and also survivors of the victims.
It is just not a mere trailer but the first 7 minutes of the film, which is based on the Nov 26th 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai. And undoubtedly, the trailer looks pretty intriguing. One can say that RGV has hit the bulls eye this time!
The sequence opens with Nana Patekar taking a pledge in the court room followed by the entrance of the terrorists in the Indian waters. The scenes are shot extremely well as RGV manages to recreate the 26/11 terror on screen.
Check out the video right here:
Produced by Allumbra Production, The Attacks of 26/11 will be distributed by Eros International and will be coming soon in theatres near you! | <urn:uuid:50f2cd4a-1d31-4717-a128-0d2495e556b9> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-news/the-attacks-of-2611-cinematic-representation-of-the-tragic-event-first-look/ | 2017-08-21T19:29:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886109525.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821191703-20170821211703-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.972954 | 199 |

United cuts jobs, planes
The tail of a United aircraft
TEXT OF STORY
Kai Ryssdal: I do hope, for your sake, that you're not flying anywhere any time soon, because today United became the second big carrier to decide it makes more economic sense to keep planes on the ground than up in the air.
The company's been trying to merge with the competition to keep its fuel costs under control, but that hasn't really worked out, so United is doing what American did just a couple of weeks ago: Cutting people and grounding planes.
For United, 1,500 jobs and 100 planes.
Our New York bureau chief Jill Barshay has the story.
Jill Barshay: United Airlines is grounding all of its kerosene-guzzling 737s and a few older 747s too.
Richard Gritta is a professor of economics and transportation at the University of Portland. He says airlines can't cover their costs now that jet fuel is more than $3.70 a gallon.
Richard Gritta: The only thing they can do is get rid of the inefficient routes, which means a lot of small communities are going to lose service and get rid of the older jets, which are not as fuel efficient.
Wave goodbye to United's low-fare airline Ted. It's coming off the beach and casino routes and joining the rest of the airline. Its coach-only planes will now fly to business destinations and United's going to fit them out with new pricey, first-class cabins.
Gritta says passengers can expect more extra charges, like United's new $25 fee for a second bag.
Gritta: So now they've discovered, you know, just fragmenting all the costs and I was joking the other day about what's next. You want to use the lavatory? Well, that's $10 please. You want toilet paper? Well, that's an extra $5.
Hopefully not, but airline consultant Darryl Jenkins says we certainly can kiss low fares goodbye.
Darryl Jenkins: You'll see the bottom 20 percent of fares eliminated. So if you were a traveler who always went to some place like Priceline, Travelocity or Orbitz to buy your tickets, you're going to be very disappointed this year.
There is one silver lining: Fewer flights could mean shorter delays at big urban airports. Good news for those of us based in New York.

Senior midfielder Rebecca Bush recorded a goal and an assist to lead the Fitchburg State University field hockey team past host Becker College, 2-0, in Leicester Thursday.
Following a scoreless first half, Fitchburg State broke the stalemate in the 35th minute when freshman forward Stephanie Stearns redirected a shot by Bush into the lower-right corner of the cage for her third tally of the season.
The Falcons took a 2-0 lead at the 58:23 mark when Bush gathered a feed from sophomore forward Julia Gimenez and fired the ball into the left side of the net for her fourth goal of the season.
Fitchburg State (4-3, 0-2 Little East Conference) netminder Lucy Holewa made four saves to earn her first shutout of the season.
Goalie Taylor Zisk played well in net for 65 minutes before giving way to Marissa Falconer Wednesday.

- Sukhwant Kaur committed this crime when her husband Azad Singh was asleep
- She doubted that her husband had illicit relations with some other woman
- Azad Singh was later taken to hospital as he was bleeding profusely
In the attack, Azad Singh, a resident of Joginder Nagar, was seriously injured and was fighting for his life in a local hospital, they further said.
The woman, Sukhwant Kaur, took this extreme step last night when Azad Singh was sleeping, Jalandhar Assistant Commissioner of Police, Satinder Kumar, said, adding she doubted that her husband had illicit relations with some other woman.
"The woman first hit her husband with a rod when he was sleeping which left him unconscious. Thereafter, she chopped off his private parts with a knife and then disposed them in a toilet," the ACP said.
On a complaint of Mr Singh's father, a case under relevant section of the IPC has been registered against the woman.
The couple have two children from their marriage.

William Blake sought in his art to have humanity manifest its divine nature through mutual forgiveness and selflessness. His delivery of this message was through visionary poems and prints. Blake taught that through the visionary imagination human beings could become divine beings and manifest an ideal, spiritual society (he called this Jerusalem). He was highly critical of materialism, moral virtue, and self-righteousness. Through Blake, the visionary imagination makes possible the attainment of oneness with a supreme being. It is only through the inspired vision that individuals are able to surpass the limitations of their minute particular time, space, knowledge, and become something more than meat. I find the criticisms of Stephen C. Behrendt1 and V.A. De Luca in the book Blake’s Poetry and Designs to be particulary helpful in properly experiencing Blake’s vision.
Stephen C. Behrendt makes the point that William Blake’s use of text with images is so pervasive and dynamic, that his message is ultimately a meta-text that combines illuminations with words. The meaning of his illustrations and text interact to make a combined symbolism. This understanding of Blake’s expression is integral to properly experiencing his art. In addition, the 19th century had different ways of understanding the process of reading than is common in the 21st century. Books in the 19th century were works of art, especially in the case of Blake’s books, and readers were intended to be deeply engaged in the process of reading. Reading out loud and responding to phrases was common.
Blake challenges us to experience his art by spiritually consuming it, and taking it into our beings. It is a sacramental act. Blake’s motivation is to induce a transformative experience. Individual inspiration is first, and then social salvation. As stated before, Blake’s illuminated texts are a unitary whole with images and words playing-off of each other.
Though William Blake’s poems must be experienced visually, I would not categorize his work as visual art. The text and illustrations of individual poems as presented in Blake’s Poems and Designs are meant to be “read” sequentially. Moreover, I would go even one step further than Behrendt’s meta-text analysis, and state that to experience Blake properly, one must be in a state of meditation to imagine the mystical realms he invites us to enter. It is only in reverie that Blake’s underlying purpose of elucidation can be achieved. Just before falling asleep, one goes into a hypnogogic state. In this state, non-determinate thoughts can take on meaning that is not rational. This is similar to the state that is needed to understand Blake. I found myself needing to ponder the poets meaning as I read Blake’s poems and designs. In order to experience the poet’s meaning, one must excogitate each image and word.
As Stephen C. Behrendt notes many of the images and text are contradictory in aesthetic and intellectual content. Blake’s vision is like an optical illusion that evokes an additional image not originally present by staring at a dot in the center of the artwork. We must reconcile this with Blake’s statement that everything he produced was intentional and with a purpose. Sublime means both dangerous and powerful at the same time. Therefore, the artist makes an implied agreement that the observer must construct a superseding interpretation that goes beyond either the illustrations, or the text, to a third realm of symbolic, sublime meaning that the art is only able to approach indirectly because it is a mystical experience. Blake is freeing himself of the limitations of visual and textual media to construct a spiritual language that can be shared among an enlightened community. He also accomplishes this by creating a bible-like names and places that are motivated by the need to have the reader deeply interpret his works as if they were sacral texts.
Blake is requiring the reader to be a participant in his vision. It is also a transcendental communion between the observer, artist, and the innate divinity, where the viewer transcends material existence, limited by sensation, and is transported to a Jungean realm of archtypal vision and imagination. The art is just a vehicle. As Joseph Viscomi notes, William Blake sees himself as a prophet and in his etchings “the drawn line is analogous to the word of God; the inspired line is itself inspirating [sic] and true art is by nature sublime.” Thus, Blake’s art allows the viewer to travel to the human divinity inside all of us through the sublime power of imagination.
In experiencing Blake’s illuminated texts one must build an edifice of understanding. Each stone is a refined unit of understanding of the mutual cooperation between image and text. All additional stones are deeper analysis given the existing structure of meaning. The intellectual and aesthetic meaning of the work as a unity is generated by a continuous loop of re-understanding. It is an act of mystical contemplation.
Blake’s work stimulates a search for meaning by being indeterminate. The reason for the existence of his art is to challenge the observer to “enter” the visionary experience. It is finally a mystical and ritualistic meditation. The work of the observer is to achieve a state of mind in which it is possible to enter Blake’s world. The revolutionary goal of his poetry is to intellectually and aesthetically induce a state of elevated consciousness that allows for a oneness with a supreme being. The juxtaposition of the meta-text of image, word, and subliminal transcendental experience is tangibly represented in his illuminated poetry. Thus, the reader will take out from this experience what they put in to it. It is a meditation on the divine inside everyone.
V.A. De Luca interprets Blake’s poetry as a “wall of words” that symbolizes the monolithic in sublime literature. In my experience Blake’s poetry is among the most challenging to read. De Luca takes this difficulty as his theme and his criticism is important because achieving an understanding of Blake’s meaning is the proper way to experience his poetry. The critic focuses Blake’s work were the meaning becomes obscure and the narrative becomes non-referential, such as in Jerusalem. In poems that have these properties, ideas are not mediated through sensory perception of word or image, but only knowable through a leap of understanding and faith. For a modern reader, this experience is very disconcerting. Again, meditating on the material is absolutely necessary. Jerusalem is such a “wall of words” on which the recursive process of understanding can obtain minimal or no narrative structure on which to build cognition. Why this nondeterminancy? It is an effort of the artist to induce a sublime state of consciousness as a result of viewing.
The critic identifies Blake’s wall of words with the Romantic sublime, in which monolithic forms such as ruins and cliffs are archetypal symbols. For Romantic writers such as Wordsworth, these forms are a blockage to travel, and represent an elevated consciousness above mundane cares that allow sanctuary and recharging of spiritual resources. The sublime process is conceptualized differently based on author. Wordsworth saw it as a diminishing of the senses just as the fearful power of imagination ascends. Blake says that one should construct one’s own system, or be a subject of someone else’s. Blake, being a contrarian, has his own version: “Allegory addressed to the Intellectual powers while it is altogether hidden from the Corporeal Understanding is My Definition of the Most Sublime Poetry.” In Blake’s model, the sublime stimulus directs energy away from limited sensory perception into the liberated intellectual powers. The barrier is needed as a lens to focus visionary force, and this is the reason Blake considers the intellectual powers to be superior to all else. It is the gateway to the human divine.
At the center of the sublime experience is a struggle with a challenging text. William Blake is prolific at producing such a text. The material world produces such sublime objects. I lived and traveled throughout central and South American as a child. At that time I was compelled to run up the steps of Tenochtitlan, and I wandered around the grounds of Machu Pichu, I have felt the power of the sublime and its potential for revealed knowledge. So much so that I was convinced I would be an Archeologist and find my own lost cities. Hiram Bingham’s “discovery” of Machu Pichu fired my imagination. These objects do “beg to be read, blank as they are.” J.R.R Tolkien writes about this experience when in The Fellowship of the Ring Gandalf uses incantations to reveal a hidden door with luminescent Elfin writing in the side of a mountain to escape evil forces. Since then I have been fascinated by ruins and abandoned places. The idea of a place where a rich exchange of life existed previously and now is a place of quiet has haunted my mind. Blake’s sublime poems must be put within the Romantic context of the times. The observer must free the intellectual powers from sensory limitations using the poets symbols as a mystical transport.
How does Blake create a wall of words? He does it with visual composition of image and text with complex interactions, concentration of inscription, distribution of replicated terms, and a proliferation of obscure proper nouns, all of which overwhelm the imagination and provoke the stress needed for the sublime experience. I believe it is helpful to understand that this is a purposeful strategy of the poet, namely to create opposition to discursive decoding, in order to provoke an experience of the divine. Thus, the observer must understand that Blake is taking us on a journey in his works such as Jerusalem of which the ultimate destination is a mystical experience.
What are the intellectual powers and what is on the other side of the wall? The intellectual powers are visionary imagination, and on the other side of the wall is innate divinity. The text is a bridge between the two. In the apotheosis of Jerusalem:
“But if we detach these words from their contextual bed, allowing them to articulate the range of their syntactic and semantic possibilities, they assert a revelation about the Divine Vision itself as nothing other than transcendent writing: the Writing IS the Divine Revelation…God is the Word, but the Word as Written; in the Eternity every Word and every Character is human, but without losing the properties of words and characters…heaven is a form of text.”
Blake categorically denies the unapproachable divinity. He loathes this idea as a “Satanic” church motivated to exploit. God is not the “other.” God is the collective humanity. In the sublime state, there is no separation between God and us. Blake’s text directs to us to use our intellectual powers to recognize God inside of ourselves. His words and images are a manifestation of divinity.
In Blake’s “wall of words,” the intellectual powers decode text as a multitude of potential meanings, some referential, and some autonomous, and all directed toward an experience of transcendence. While reading, the observer’s mind is in as it were a state of suspended animation as semantic analysis is delayed. In that realm of experience, the wall of words becomes an awe-inspiring monument, and every word is an opening to a manifestation of the human divine. In the experience of the sublime, we are able to bypass the Covering Cherub and re-enter a mental heaven.
The 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared that “God is dead.” William Blake, who saw the divine in all humanity, would certainly not agree with him on this thought. Blake was a mystic and Nietzsche a Realist. Nietzsche criticized Western Christianity as a “slave morality,” materialism as decadence, and promoted the triumph of the human will without imposed bounds as an exercise of imagination. In contrast, Blake expressed in his poetry a criticism of all Christian churches as against the basic and to him “true” teachings of Jesus. Therefore, Nietzsche and Blake are both critical of Christianity, but for very different reasons. In addition, Blake valued the fundamental moral message of Jesus. Whereas, Nietzsche would argue that this morality is debilitating. Blake was also against materialism culturally and intellectually because he argued that it denied the innate divinity of humans and what to him was the supreme reality of creation. The two philosopher’s expressions find common ground while still being extremely different in their expressions. Though ultimately, I argue the core meaning of both is strangely analogous, the transcendental power of the imagination to shape existence. William Blake works to illustrate that human beings manifest the innate divine through visionary imagination. While Nietzsche argues that humans act on what exists, and imagine what can be. Though often misunderstood, Nietzsche’s concept of the “will to power” is the animating force of all beings such as plants and animals. However, as conscious beings, individuals are able to direct their will to power to transcendentally create and take control of their existence. Thus, William Blake’s and Friedrich Nietzsche’s work are diametrically opposed in many arguments and expressions, both result in similar conclusions. | <urn:uuid:9ca56122-2052-4518-8e95-76a20c6547a7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://newbohemian.com/archives/2318 | 2022-01-21T07:47:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302740.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121071203-20220121101203-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.960623 | 2,764 |

Hernandez had been charged with the murder of a Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating Jenkins’ sister, Shaneah Jenkins.
While Shayanna stood by Hernandez and attended the trial with his relatives, Shaneah took the side of Lloyd’s family, causing a major rift between the sisters and leaving them estranged.
During an interview with “Aaron Hernandez Uncovered,” streaming now on Oxygen, Shayanna described why she chose the former NFL superstar over her own family.
“This is someone you love ... and you think about your future and what’s happening,’’ she said. “I wasn’t going to let him experience it alone. I was going to stick by his side every step of the way.’’
Shayanna and Hernandez met and began dating while attending Bristol Central High School in Connecticut. Although they broke up when he went south to play for the Gators at the University of Florida, they rekindled their relationship after he was drafted by the New England Patriots.
Shayanna gave birth to their daughter, Avielle Hernandez, just a few months before his arrest on November 6, 2012, which is also Hernandez’s birthday. The couple planned on getting married in 2014 in a California ceremony, but the day never came.
Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2015. That same year, she had her last name legally changed to Jenkins-Hernandez so she could have the same last name as Avielle, reported the Hartford Courant.
Hernandez later went to trial for a separate murder case — the 2012 double homicide of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu — and Shayanna was the only person who showed up during his first week of court.
On April 14, 2017, Hernandez was acquitted of the murder charges, and five days later, the 27-year-old was found hanging from a bedsheet in his prison cell. He left Shayanna a suicide note — along with two others addressed to Avielle and his defense attorney, Jose Baez — writing, “You have always been my soul-mate and I want you to live life and know I’m always with you.”
Following Hernandez’s death, Shayanna sat down for an interview with Dr. Phil and said that in her final conversation with him, he sounded upbeat.
"I felt like we were looking so bright. We were going up a ladder to a positive direction,” Shayanna said. “Our last talk had nothing to do with suicidal thoughts."
Several rumors about Hernandez’s sexuality circulated after his suicide, and Shayanna denied them on Dr. Phil, saying that she “asked him if it were true” that he was gay, and that Hernandez told her “that it wasn’t.”
"I had no indication or any feeling that he was [gay]," Shayanna continued, reported CNN. “I don’t know where this came from.”
Speaking with "Aaron Hernandez Uncovered," Shayanna said that when she discussed Hernandez's sexuality with Baez, it was "very hard because I was confused. I still kind of am."
“When you feel like you’ve kind of had it all with that one individual, it’s just something that took years to build, and now it’s completely breaking down,” she said. “But I would not want him to go through anything by himself. I was the only thing that he had. Hurt or not — and I was hurt — I had to fight through it.”
Shayanna relocated to Rhode Island with Avielle, and in November 2017, she sold their mansion in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, for $1 million, according to The Boston Herald.
In the summer of 2018, Shayanna gave birth to her second child, Giselle Guilmette, with Providence amateur boxer Dino Guilmette.
“I’m going to have my hands full but I’m happy about it,” Guilmette told Radar Online after her pregnancy was announced. “I’m excited ... She will have two sisters. I have another daughter from a previous relationship, and then there’s Shayanna‘s daughter with Aaron. It’s very exciting.”
Shayanna documents her family life on Instagram, and on the anniversary of Hernandez’s death, she posted a gallery commemorating her late fiancé.
“Today we think of you with heavy hearts and positive memories ! Although you aren’t here physically Avielle and I speak about you often and keep you in close spirit,” she wrote in the caption.

A year after winning a court battle against the opening of safe injection sites, havens for people to use heroin and other narcotics with protections against fatal overdoses, the Justice Department is signaling it might be open to allowing them, the Associated Press reports. DOJ said it is “evaluating” such facilities and talking to regulators about “appropriate guardrails.” The position is a drastic change from its stance in the Trump administration, when prosecutors fought vigorously against a plan to open a safe consumption site in Philadelphia. About six weeks later, the first officially authorized safe injection sites opened in New York City in November. The two facilities — which the city calls “overdose prevention centers” — provide a monitored place for drug users to partake, with staffers and supplies on hand to reverse overdoses.
Such sites exist in Canada, Australia and Europe and have been discussed for years in New York and some other U.S. cities and states. A few unofficial facilities have operated for some time. For months after President Biden took office last year, the Justice Department — under Attorney General Merrick Garland — had refused to take a public stance on safe consumption sites. The New York City sites so far have intervened in more than 125 overdoses among more than 640 users, many of whom have made multiple visits, says OnPoint NYC, the organization running them. | <urn:uuid:98a19de1-bf80-47f9-9040-0ce5ccd8ce65> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/justice-department-to-consider-allowing-safe-injection-sites | 2022-10-07T13:49:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030338073.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007112411-20221007142411-00419.warc.gz | en | 0.956513 | 272 |
Entangling alliances or entangling leagues are nothing to the entanglements of cash owing—Keynes
The recent BIS Quarterly Review article "European Bank Funding and Deleveraging" takes a stab at connecting all the dots in the Eurocrisis. It is only 12 pages, but with 8 (triple) graphs, there is a lot here to digest. Let's take a stab.
In the FT gloss of the argument, the whole crisis was caused by the BIS itself, in the form of Basel III requirements to boost bank capital, or rather by the European Banking Authority which more or less endorsed the BIS requirements last October. Here is the origin of the stress.
There were only two ways for banks to meet the new requirements, raise their capital levels to meet the size of their balance sheets, or shrink their balance sheets to meet the size of their capital. The prospect of the latter is what unsettled markets and valuations, since necessitous sellers sell what they can sell, never mind fundamental value. Distortion of asset valuations (even mere prospective distortion) then undermined bank balance sheets, so undermining their ability to fund themselves, in euros but especially in dollars. Capital markets were effectively closed (at any reasonable price) but so were funding markets, and liquidity kills you quick.
From this perspective, the important thing about the LTRO operations of the ECB was that they stopped the downward liquidity spiral by providing the funding that banks needed. The hope now is that, having put aside immediate funding problems, banks can proceed in a more orderly way to raise capital, either in equity markets or more slowly by retained earnings. Maybe so, but maybe not.
Today, Paul de Grauwe connects the dots in a different way. The fundamental problem, according to him, is not bank capital requirements but rather sovereign debt, which threatened to become a bank crisis because banks held so much sovereign debt. ECB intervention does very little to settle the underlying debt markets, or to restore reasonable valuations, since there is no guarantee that banks will use the LTRO funds themselves to support sovereign debt markets. Indeed, nothing prevents a new round of selling, and what will the ECB do then? Even worse, austerity measures now worsen the fiscal prospects for Europe, and so further undermine bond values.
Myself, I am reminded of the words of John Maynard Keynes, in his Economic Consequences of the Peace, written in aftermath of World War I and the disastrous Treaty at Versailles:
The final consideration influencing the reader's attitude to this proposal must, however, depend on his view as to the future place in the world's progress of the vast paper entanglements which are our legacy from war finance both at home and abroad. The war has ended with every one owing every one else immense sums of money. Germany owes a large sum to the Allies, the Allies owe a large sum to Great Britain, and Great Britain owes a large sum to the United States. The holders of war loan in every country are owed a large sum by the State, and the State in its turn is owed a large sum by these and other taxpayers. The whole position is in the highest degree artificial, misleading, and vexatious. We shall never be able to move again, unless we can free our limbs from these paper shackles.
Read the BIS report with this quote in your head, and the graphs tell a different story. Financial globalization has ended with every one owing every one else immense sums of money. That is the big picture, and European bank deleveraging, as well as the European sovereign debt crisis, need to be understood as symptoms of this larger disease. | <urn:uuid:81731af9-3432-4471-9eba-2968cd26f476> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://ineteconomics.org/blog/money-view/eurocrisis-redux | 2014-10-22T09:35:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507446525.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005726-00358-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956927 | 749 |

This is my first Bernette, works great and quiet. I am a fan of mechanical sewing machines, this one is perfect!
Used it straight out of the box. Runs very smooth. Instructions are easy to follow. Only tested on light jobs (Mending jeans, hemming pants etc . . . ). Time will tell how well it holds up under use. So far, so good . . .
Sturdy and easy to use. Excellent machine whether you are a beginner or an old hand at sewing.
I found I love sewing again, thanks to this machine! | <urn:uuid:68b0d03c-5aba-4fad-b38e-32f51335937c> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.sewvacdirect.com/bernette-33-swiss-design-sewing-machine/ | 2019-10-20T13:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986707990.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20191020105426-20191020132926-00169.warc.gz | en | 0.848909 | 783 |

TOO MUCH EXERCISE???
is it possible 2 do 2 much exercise?? plz help im eating healthily and goin 2 the gym twice a wk for 1 hour and doin aerobics and aqua aerobics for 2 hours the other 3 days.. i avnt lost any weight now in nearly 3 wks?? wot am i doin wrong..
Thu. Jul 1, 7:42am
Perhaps it IS possible to do too much exercise, but I would guess that would be an extreme amount unlikely to be your problem imo. Can't help but point out the Biggest Loser participants, where 4 or more hours a day is the norm. As to what you are doing wrong, can you tell us more? How much weight have you lost and how much more to lose? With all these workouts, are you not noticing positive changes in your body that are not necessarily reflected on the scales?
Thursday, July 01, 2010, 7:55 AM
Diet is the biggest part of the weight loss equation. What's a typical day like when it comes to food? Overtraining to the extent of inhibiting weight loss usually comes into play when people are seriously challenging themselves for extended periods and have little to lose.
Thursday, July 01, 2010, 9:05 AM
so far i have lost 9lb i have a further 2 stone to lose. i am losing inches but not very much.
i am doin 1hr areobics 3 times a wk straight after im doin 1 hr aqua fit.. then the other 2 days im goin 2 the gym where i do a 10 min warm up walk 20 mins cardio starting slow 4 1 min med 4 a min and running fat out for 2 mins. i complete this 5 times. i then do 10 leg presses 10 chest presses 10 shoulder presses 10 squats with weights in each hand 10 one arm row with a weight in hand and 30 /60 sit ups and then 20 minutes on the bike with the same sort of idea as the tread mill slow med fast.
i am at present on the weight watchers plan counting my points every day and not goin over them. iv been very tough with myself.
my w.w advisor has told me i could be bulking up with muscle.. and my body could be storing the fat as a backup and should mayb drop 2 days exercise to see if it helps..
im soo confused because i thought exercising and eating healthily would help me lose weight ?? plz help :)
Thursday, July 01, 2010, 10:19 AM
It's not complilcated.
Cut back on food to lose weight, and exercise to keep or bring your body into shape.
Thursday, July 01, 2010, 6:10 PM
didnt do ant exercise this wk... was really careful wot i ate and satyed within my points and lost 2lb..
Thursday, July 08, 2010, 4:59 AM
that is great to hear! Can you share some of what you ate that helped you lose 2 pounds?
Thursday, July 08, 2010, 7:55 AM
I’ve been searching for some decent stuff on the subject and haven't had any luck up until this point, You just got a new biggest fan!..

When it was very, very dark in the house, the unborn child could see as clearly as anyone. She had ears and eyes, fingers and a forebrain and a cerebellum, and she floated in a central place. She already knew the main hungers. Day after day the mother walked around in a stew of desire and guilt, and now the object of the mother’s desire lay three feet away from her. Everything in the mother was poised to melt and shut down at a loving touch anywhere on her body.
There was a lot of breathing going on. A lot of breathing but no touching.
Sleep eluded even Alfred. Each sinusy gasp of Enid’s seemed to pierce his ear the instant he was poised afresh to drop off.
After an interval that he judged to have lasted twenty minutes, the bed began to shake with poorly reined sobs.
He broke his silence, almost wailing: “What is it now?”
“Enid, it is very, very late, and the alarm is set for six, and I am bone-weary.”
She wept stormily. “You never kissed me goodbye!”
“I’m aware of that.”
“Well, don’t I have a right? A husband leaves his wife at home alone for two weeks?”
“This is water under the bridge. And frankly I’ve endured a lot worse.”
“And then he comes home and doesn’t even say hello? He just attacks me?”
“Enid, I have had a terrible week.”
“And leaves the dinner table before dinner’s over?”
“A terrible week and I’m extraordinarily tired–”
“And locks himself in the basement for five hours? Even though he’s supposedly very tired?”
“If you had had the week I had–”
“You didn’t kiss me goodbye.”
“Grow up! For God’s sakes! Grow up!”
“Keep your voice down!”
(Keep your voice down or the baby might hear.)
(Indeed did hear and was soaking up every word.)
“Do you think I was on a pleasure cruise?” Alfred demanded in a whisper. “Everything I do I do for you and the boys. It’s been two week since I had a minute to myself. I believe I’m entitled to a few hours in the laboratory. You would not understand it, and you would not believe me if you did, but I have found something very interesting.”
“Oh, very interesting,” Enid said. Hardly the first time she’d heard this.
“Well is is very interesting.”
“Something with commercial applications?”
“You never know. Look what happened to Jack Callahan. This could end up paying for the boys’ education.”
“I thought you said Jack Callahan’s discovery was an accident.”
“My God, listen to yourself. You tell me I’m negative, but when it’s work that matters to me, who’s negative?”
“I just don’t understand why you won’t even consider–”
“If the object is to make money–”
“Enough. Enough! I don’t give a damn what other people do. I am not that kind of person.”
Twice in church the previous Sunday Enid had turned her head and caught Chuck Meisner staring. She was a little fuller in the bust than usual, probably that was all. But Chuck had blushed both times.
“What is the reason you’re so cold to me?”
“There are reasons,” said Alfred, “but I will not tell you.”
“Why are you so unhappy? Why won’t you tell me.”
“I will go to the grave before I tell you. To the grave.”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
This was a bad husband she had landed, a bad, bad, bad husband who would never give her what she needed. Anything that might have satisfied her he found a reason to withhold.
And so she lay, a Tantala, beside the inert illusion of a feast. The merest finger anywhere would have. To say nothing of his split-plum lips. But he was useless. A wad of money stashed in a mattress and moldering and devaluing was what he was. A depression in the heartland had shriveled him away the way it had shriveled her mother, who didn’t understand that interest-bearing bank accounts were federally insured now, or that blue-chip stocks held for the long term with reinvested dividends might help provide for her old age. He was a bad investor.
But she was not. She’d even been known, when a room was very dark, to take a real risk or two, and she took one now. Rolled over and tickled his thigh with breasts that a certain neighbor had admired. Rested her cheek on her husband’s ribs. She could feel him waiting for her to go away, but first she had to stroke the plain of his muscled belly, hover-gliding, touching hair but no skin. To her mild surprise she felt his his his coming to life at the approach of her fingers. His groin tried to dodge her but the fingers were more nimble. She could feel him growing to manhood through the fly of his pajamas, and in an access of pent-up hunger she did a thing he’d never let her do before. She bent sideways and took it in her mouth. It: the rapidly growing boy, the faintly urinary dumpling. In the skill of her hands and the swelling of her breasts she felt desirable and capable of anything.
The man beneath her shook with resistance. She freed her mouth momentarily. “Al? Sweetie?”
“Enid. What are you–?”
Again her open mouth descended on the cylinder of his flesh. She held still for a moment, long enough to feel the flesh harden pulse by pulse against her palate. Then she raised her head. “We could have a little extra money in the bank — you think? Take the boys to Disneyland. You think?”
Back under she went. Tongue and penis were approaching an understanding, and he tasted like the inside of her mouth now. Like a chore and all the word implied. Perhaps involuntarily he kneed her in the ribs and she shifted, still feeling desirable. She stuffed her mouth and the top of her throat. Surfaced for air and took another big gulp.
“Even just to invest two thousand,” she murmured. “With a four-dollar differential–ack!”
Alfred had come to his senses and forced the succubus away from him.

Maybe the pleasures of a swing set, likewise of sky- and scuba diving, were tastes from a time when the uterus held you harmless from the claims of up and down. A time when you hadn’t acquired the mechanics, even, to experience vertigo. Still luxuriated safely in a warm inland sea.
Only this tumble was scary, this tumble came accompanied by a rush of bloodborne adrenaline, as the mother appeared to be in some distress–

“Oh, I’m so unhappy about this!” Enid quietly wailed.
Worst was the image of the little girl curled up inside her, a girl not much larger than a large bug but already a witness to such harm. Witness to a tautly engorged little brain that dipped in and out beyond the cervix and then, with a quick double spasm that could hardly be considered adequate warning, spat thick alkaline webs of spunk into her private room. Not even born and already drenched in sticky knowledge.
Alfred lay catching his breath and repenting his defiling of the baby. A last child was a last opportunity to learn from one’s mistakes and make corrections, and he resolved to seize this opportunity. From the day she was born he would treat her more gently than he’d treated Gary or Chipper. Relax the law for her, indulge her outright, even, and never once force her to sit at the table after everyone was gone.
But he’d squirted such filth on her when she was helpless. She’d witnessed such scenes of marriage, and so of course, when she was older, she betrayed him.

One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive.
(Hieroglyph found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.)
Properly Combined Foods
Plants and animals living on our planet offer us a huge variety of foods. The fundamental question is how to choose products that are really essential for our body. One of our most common and serious misconceptions is the idea that combining many different products in our meals helps us maintain good health. It is also a common belief that meals rich in animal proteins are nutritious. Ironically, this kind of food is often the source of our discomfort and illness.
For example, our meal often consists of a soup, steak, fries, and a sweet beverage, fruit or some other dessert. As we know, all of these products require different digestion times and different digestive juices. They create a mixture that is hard to digest and our stomach does not know where to start. Fruits start decomposing in the stomach and produce poisons such as alcohols and acetic acid. The combination of meat and potatoes produces solanine - a highly toxic substance. It all happens in our stomach, where it is humid and warm. It is no surprise that such meal causes gas, stomach pain, and the feeling of heaviness in our entire body.
We often behave as if our stomach was a bag able to accept everything thrown into it. In reality, that bag becomes ill and weak. Our body starts resembling a time bomb that is going to explode by the time we are fifty and may cause the following health problems: heart disease, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, blood clots, asthma, allergies, digestive system disorders, hormonal disorders (females), and impotency (males). To avoid all these health problems, we should carefully analyze mistakes we make in preparing our meals.
Food products can be divided into the following groups: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fruits and vegetables. The principles of combining these food groups are described below.
Table 2: Combining food products
|PROTEIN RICH FOODS
||FATS AND "LIVE" PRODUCTS
|Meat and meat soups, fish, eggs, eggplant, beans, Windsor beans, nuts, sunflower seeds, plain yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, buttermilk
||Grease, butter, vegetable oil, fruits (raw or dried), vegetables (raw or dried, except potatoes), fruit and vegetable juices. It is better to always consume milk, dry wine, melon and banana separately from other products
||Breads and other flour based products, grains, potatoes, sugar, honey, products containing sugar, pasta, jams, candies|
Foods in the middle column can be combined with either protein foods in the first or carbohydrate foods in the third column, but foods in the first and the third columns should never be combined.
These rules for combining foods may be hard to accept for some people, because they are used to eating meat with bread, buns, potatoes, or rice.
If you try observing the rules for just one week, you will notice that you eat less and have a lot of energy. You will require less sleep to feel well rested. Your mood will be balanced, and you will feel calmer. The rules for combining food products are not complicated. It is a good idea to pay attention to them.
The principles of eating protein rich foods
- If you combine proteins with fats (e.g. meat fried in vegetable oil), always eat plenty of vegetables. Large amounts of vegetables prevent fats from impeding the digestion of proteins.
- It is better to eat only one kind of protein food at a meal - e.g. only meat or only fish or only peas.

View Full Version : quick question about anthropologie capelet
06-16-2007, 01:09 PM
I know a lot of people have done this - has anyone done the increases on the knit side instead of the purl side?
I just got almost to the ends of the sleeves and had to rip back bc one of my rows of increases was slanted in the wrong direction...
It was sort of like this:
/ | |center| \ \
Instead of a straight line, it was slanted to the side. Now, I think the ones in the back should be, but not the front right?
Does that make sense?
Anyway, I thought the mistake might be bc I never did an increase on a purl stitch before and maybe I messed it up.
06-16-2007, 02:35 PM
It should look more like this --
| / slv\ /back\ /slv\ |
I think... you do yo, p1, yo between the back and sleeves, don't you?
06-16-2007, 02:39 PM
I've been following the pattern exactly and it still doesn't seem to look right to me...
It looks right until you get to the end, the side of the sleeve, and then it looks like it's slanting the wrong way...
I just started the body again a little while ago and it looks just like it did before I ripped it... maybe it's right and I'm just confused?
06-16-2007, 02:47 PM
Here's a finished one - http://peonyknits.blogspot.com/2005/11/anthropologie-inspired-capelet-fo-and.html - take a look; the front edges appear to slant but it's because of the increases at the sleeve `seam'. The pattern is also there, go over the increase row carefully to see that you're doing them in the correct order.
06-16-2007, 04:02 PM
Okay, I'm gonna keep at it, because I am definitely following the directions. Hopefully it's just in my head.
06-20-2007, 12:58 AM
Each of the seams should slant a little as you increase.... i'd make sure that you're not missing a stitch... for the increases to be straight you'd be yarn overing at the very same point you did it last time, thats not right you want to be one more stich over when you do it the next time. You're not knitting two together at any point are you??
did that make any sense at all LOL :) cos it makes sense in my head | <urn:uuid:c6fd685e-35ee-4274-b109-555ce697038d> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.knittinghelp.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-60441.html | 2013-12-12T16:21:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164645800/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204134405-00036-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959166 | 556 |
he's out, she's in
"I agree with Governor Cuomo's decision to step down," Hochul tweeted on Tuesday. "It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers." She added that she is "prepared to lead as New York state's 57th governor."
In his resignation, which will take effect in 14 days, Cuomo described Hochul as "smart and competent," and said her transition must be "seamless." A native of western New York, Hochul joined Cuomo's team in 2014, but has "largely been cut off from his inner circle," The New York Times reports. Following the release of the state attorney general's disturbing 165-page sexual harassment report, Hochul called Cuomo's behavior "repulsive," and suggested her loyalties to him had waned, per the Times. | <urn:uuid:fcf5f3a8-a28b-4d45-af69-a34e66220bca> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://theweek.com/andrew-cuomo/1003572/kathy-hochul-to-become-new-york-states-first-female-governor-following-andrew | 2021-11-30T06:56:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358953.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130050047-20211130080047-00332.warc.gz | en | 0.989852 | 178 |

To early to tell: It really is too early to tell by a pregnancy test if you are pregnant. Home pregnancy tests are generally 99% accurate.The most common problem with hpt kits is a negative result because the test was performed too soon after the expected onset of menses. If pregnancy is suspected despite a negative test, the test should be repeated in one week. ...Read more

The : The first thing to do is make sure you are not pregnant.

Anyone who has ever done a home remodeling project knows that you never know what you’re going to find until you start tearing out the walls. This makes it very hard to estimate the actual work involved in a project, since you can’t quantify what you don’t know.
A long-standing website can have many of the same structural challenges as an old house—it’s been managed by different people, with differing levels of skill, over time. Those various owners also had different tastes in décor, so one owner’s beautiful wallpaper is the next owner’s eyesore to be removed or covered up. And change has been made in a reactive rather than proactive way and expedience often wins over doing the right thing. When the roof is leaking, you patch what’s there, putting off the inevitable larger project of replacing the whole thing.
When we approach a website that has structural, content, and design issues, the expedient thing is to make the easy changes, slap a new coat of paint on, maybe move the furniture around a little, and call it good. But just like our old house, our old website really needs and deserves a thorough renovation. Where do we begin?
What Lurks Inside
Start your redesign project with a content inventory. Just as you don’t know what’s behind those walls until you tear them away, you don’t know what’s on your site unless you do an inventory. Fortunately for us, gathering all that information about a site is something we can do quickly and easily—not to mention more cleanly!—than taking sledgehammer to drywall (or lath and plaster). Run an inventory using the Content Analysis Tool (CAT). In a matter of minutes, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with in terms of quantity and type of material on the site. Starting out with that rich set of data--pages, images, media, metadata, word count, analytics information—gives you the bones of what you’ll have to work with in designing the blueprint for your new site.
When you’ve inventoried and started your analysis, layer in your own observations about the content—read it for quality, accuracy, voice, relevance, and all those other characteristics that make good content. (I’ve written elsewhere about conducting content audits, see the Resources page at content-insight.com for a series of articles on the topic.)
Your audit will help you decide what you’re going to keep, what you’re going to remove, and what you need to do with the content to bring it up to your new site standards. Just as in an old house remodel, while you’re in there looking so closely, you’ll want to take the opportunity to clean things up, put in the additional wiring to support current needs and think ahead to expansion—what do you need to build to future-proof your design? Will the structure you’re building support the growth of content and addition of features? It’s cheaper to do the preparatory work now than it will be to go back in later, so take the time to think ahead.
When you’ve done your cleanup and revision, you’re ready to reassemble the site into the new architecture.
The Cost of Poor Communication
Unless you’re a one-person web team, you’re probably working with a group of people who bring other skillsets to the project. Just like on a home project, where you bring in the specialists like plumbers, electricians, framers, drywallers, and painters, you will likely be working with project managers, business analysts, user experience designers, creative directors, and technical folks. Maintaining good, open lines of communication, including documented architectures, content models, and designs is critical to ensuring that the final structure looks and works as it should. If the information architect designs a navigational model that doesn’t map to the actual content or the developer builds templates that don’t support the content model, tearing out and starting over is a much more expensive proposition than making sure up front that everyone understands how the final product is supposed to look and how it will work.
That New Site Smell
Walking into a newly renovated house, admiring the easy flow from room to room, smelling the fresh paint and trying out the new furniture is a great feeling. Launching a beautiful, functional, engaging new website is similar. And just as we need to do regular maintenance on our new home, we need to carefully govern our new site to make sure that it continues to run smoothly and doesn’t accrue ROT— redundant, outdated, and trivial content and features—over time. The ongoing investment to keep things ship-shape will pay off in the long run when the next remodel is just an update rather than a complete teardown. | <urn:uuid:6f4823e5-2841-4400-a578-d22b45f0c5b8> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://strategiccontent.com/blog/tag/content+audit | 2019-07-15T17:58:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195523840.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715175205-20190715201205-00233.warc.gz | en | 0.936177 | 1,033 |
Through its Geospatial Excellence Awards, the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) recognizes individuals and organizations that advance the capabilities of geospatial technology, and promote NSGIC’s goals of efficient and effective government.
At NSGIC’s Annual Conference this September, two of the national geospatial excellence awards (see all) went to Utah-led initiatives.
Champion Award: Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development
Utah’s Governor’s Office of Economic Development, through its Broadband Outreach Center and Office of Outdoor Recreation, has championed the use of GIS and enterprise mapping initiatives to deliver value to Utah citizens and businesses. Projects include residential broadband mapping, commercial broadband availability, trail and recreational amenities GIS data layers, partner funding for high resolution aerial photography, and locate.utah.gov - Utah’s award-winning state economic development interactive map. In particular, Kelleigh Cole, Director of GOED’s broadband center, has been an active, supporting, and connecting partner to Utah GIS for the past 6+ years.
Catalyst Award: Utah Land Information Records (LIR) Initiative
The Utah Land Information Records workgroup, a multi-agency partnership of state and local government was formed and facilitated by Evan Curtis, the State Planning Coordinator in the Governor’s Office. Over several months, the group defined a best practice for the voluntary sharing of annual, detailed tax parcel data.

So, I’ve just seen The Avengers and indeed it is awesome. Maybe starts a little slow, but then someone loses his temper and from there on in it’s fantastic. Here’s my review; it contains spoilers, although I’ve kept them to a minimum as there are a few moments which you really don’t want to know about in advance. Also, I’ve chosen to review it through the medium of song…
Technically The Avengers is a sequel to most of the films Marvel has released since Iron Man, but in many ways it’s mainly tied to Thor – the lead villain is Thor’s adopted brother Loki, and the main plot McGuffin was introduced in the earlier film’s end-credit sequence. Loki’s desire for power (and Thor’s decision to use power to protect innocents) sets events into motion and leads to some nice moments where that is punctured – in one comedy moment, which is too much fun to spoil, but also in a scene in Germany, where Loki’s demands that people kneel before him is challenged by a lone, elderly man. Given that even the actions of some of the good guys are driven by a fear of power (Sam Jackson’s organisation is scared that the growing superhero population is getting too strong to contain). Thor himself doesn’t get that much to do, other than be a powerhouse who gets to beat up other powerhouses, but Thor beating up powerhouses is fun. Everyone knows that extreme property damage is one of the guilty pleasures of the comic book industry.
The Hulk gets the majority of the big-fun bits, but of all the actors, it’s Robert Downey Junior who’s the biggest scene stealer – not that you were expecting otherwise. Effortlessly poking and prodding the other characters, and generally coming across as the guy who knows he’s the smartest person in the room, he owns his scenes. It’s interesting that he gets to deliver a threat to Loki, pitching cut-glass English sarcasm against smart-ass Tony Stark. He’s not developed a whole deal, probably because there’ve already been two Iron Man films and therefore he’s the most established cast member anyway, but that doesn’t matter. No-one does the funny and charismatic thing better.
Well, no Axl, he’s not. Captain America is great in this – he’s the straight-laced one who (almost) everyone respects and loves, and while this might not sound particularly interesting, it works. As someone says, Cap may be old-fashioned, but maybe the world needs a little old-fashioned. Of all the characters, he’s probably the one genuine good and decent guy there. The film respects that – he’s the only one of the core three Avengers who doesn’t get undercut by a moment of slapstick. That’s a smart move – Thor’s Shakespearean pronouncements are crying out for a pratfall, and it’s always fun to see Iron Man suddenly paying for his cockiness, but if you mock Captain America too much, you lose the moral heart of the movie.
Well, he couldn’t, so it’s a good thing Superman isn’t in this movie. But when people tell you that the Hulk steals the show, believe them. I know that’s hard to get your head around – the Hulk has been a difficult character to translate into movies – but he’s great as a supporting character/looming threat. Kudos also to Mark Ruffalo, who makes the nervy, quiet, restrained Bruce Banner an almost-likeable character who nevertheless you want to keep at arm’s length. The ever-present idea that he could lose control and create mayhem is played with genuine menace by the other characters, especially Scarlett Johansson, to the point where the Hulk’s inevitable emergence is almost a relief. Because that’s when the smashing starts!
In short, go see it. There isn’t really a weak link in the whole thing – Hawkeye gets a little punked, but there’ll be room for him in any sequels, and while I’ve concentrated on the more showy characters, it’s worth mentioning the Black Widow’s inventive use of a chair and Agent Coulson’s baseball card collection. I’m a DC fan, and my big disappointment of the night was that there wasn’t a trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, but Marvel are knocking their movies out of the park at the moment, and anything that gives superheroes a chance to shine is fine by me. | <urn:uuid:bfedfc5b-745d-443a-bddc-5dec0ea76c8d> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://matthewhyde.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/yet-another-avengers-review-but-with-added-rock-music/ | 2018-01-20T07:02:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084889473.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180120063253-20180120083253-00292.warc.gz | en | 0.951523 | 998 |
The Personal Cost of Shyness
Has someone nearby been sending you emails rather than calling or meeting you face-to-face? When you do get together, does she or he stand back, avoid holding eye contact, or speaking up?
While there are many possible reasons for their behavior, that person may, in fact,
be a victim of what has become "the third most prevalent psychiatric disorder"
according to Dr. Lynne Henderson, a director of The Shyness Clinic. Yes, shyness.
Along with Dr. Phil Zimbardo of Stanford University, Henderson has been studying
what they believe is a growing social epidemic. In their research, nearly half of
Americans describe themselves as chronically shy. Another 40% considered
themselves as previously shy and only about 5% believed they were never shy. Dr.
Zimbardo intends to draw more public attention to this disorder in his role as the
new president of the American Psychological Assocation.
Shy people tend to smile, touch and speak less. In social situations they experience
symptoms such as rapid heart beat, perspiration, and butterflies in the stomach . . .
often. Henderson and Zimbardo say that shyness is a form of excessive self-
preoccupation. Shy people think more negative thoughts about themselves, are
more likely to expect to be rejected and perceive others as less approachable than
less shy people.
They are even more likely to forget information presented to them when they
believe that they are being evaluated. In short, the world looks like a
scary, unfriendly place, so, ironically, they prove themselves right and often look
At what cost? Shy people obviously have more trouble meeting people, conversing,
forming relationships -- participating in life. Professor emeritus Thomas Harrell of
Stanford University examined Stanford M.B.A.'s over a 20 year period to elicit their
"success" factor and found that,"The number one factor linked with success was
social extroversion, the ability to speak up, something that shy people are least apt
The bad news continues. In addition to the pervasive loneliness which shyness
engenders, two potent, negative consequences of shyness are
1) greater health
problems because shy people tend to have a weak network of friends and are thus
less resilient to illness and less likely to even tell give doctors sufficient information
to be treated, and
2) likely to make less money, live up to their potential at work or
feel appreciated for their contributions.
Metaphorically, shyness is a shrinking back from life that weakens the bonds of
human connection. In her book, "That's Not What I Meant", Dr. Deborah Tannen
wrote that, "Little of what we say is really important, relative to the words that are
used, but it is the conversation itself that shows involvement."
Why are more American describing themselves as shy?
Is it our growing social isolation? Machines are replacing humans in many of our
everyday interactions, from bank ATMs to gas stations to Email. Dr. Henderson
believes that, "The growing context of indifference to others means a lowered
priority is being given to being social." With less time spent in face-to-face
interaction people are feeliing less comfortable with their ability to connect when
they do want that closeness, turning modern-day shy.
What can you do to reach out through your shyness? Shyness expert, Jonathan
Berent, offers four pieces of advice which I have paraphrased:
1. When you feel safe you do not feel shy.
Seek out and create safe environments to experience the non-shy parts of yourself,
where you can be completely yourself without fear of judgment or negative
2. You are responsible for your actions, not your feelings.
A natural instinct is to be driven to get rid of uncomfortable feelings. But you can
remove feelings or control them. You can only feel them and then move onto what
you want to feel or do next.
3. Your feelings are not within your control, but your follow-up thoughts and
Trying not to feel shy leads you to trying not to feel at all. Try stuffing
your feelings and you may turn compulsive, obsessive, addicted to something or
someone and/or withdraw.
If you try to stay with your feeling of shyness and see the worst that you can feel,
then, over time, you know that you can survive, and even thrive in situation that had
4. Shy people are often attracted to those who do not return the affection which is a
very painful way of creating safety.
Knowing this, you can become more aware of people who are comfortable enough
to reciprocate your reaching out.
One final personal note. Most of my childhood I was quiet and kept to myself,
mostly because I enjoyed daydreaming and reading. But most people thought that I
was shy. In fact a school therapist diagnosed me as "phobically shy." I saw how
isolating their view of me could make my life if I did not learn to reach out more so
that people would be comfortable with me when I did want to connect.
We all know from harsh experience that, while everyone yearns to be known and
cared for, not everyone knows how to show appreciation in the face of caring. You
"say it better" to connect and care, not because those gestures will always be
acknowledged, but because, it is your brave and warm expression of how you want
to live your life. Yes?

Massachusetts Child Custody & Massachusetts Child Support
As in family courts around the nation, Massachusetts courts strongly urge parents to cooperatively work out a resolution to raising children that is in the children’s best interests. If parents are unable to agree, the court will get involved and decide issues of custody, visitation, and support with the best interests of the children in mind. The following are the laws governing child custody and support in the state of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Child Custody:
Massachusetts courts will prioritize lessening the emotional impact on children of the divorce above all else. If the parents cannot agree on a plan for custody, the courts will decide what is best for the children and will give importance to such factors as a history of violence or abusive conduct of either parent, as well as the willingness of each parent to encourage the maintenance of a relationship between the children and the other parent.
Massachusetts Child Support:
Child support in Massachusetts is determined in accordance with the Income Shares Model for child support, where each parent's income is considered in relative proportion. The support amounts calculated from each parent then help decide which parent must pay the other in order to maintain the correct proportion and provide for the needs of the child.
These guidelines are not always followed, but a decision to follow a different standard will require supportive evidence showing 1) all the factors that affect the parties financial obligations differently, and 2) how applying a standard other than the Income Shares Model will more effectively preserve the best interests of the child.
The factors that can be considered here are numerous, and include but are not limited to the following:
- Pre-dissolution or pre-separation standard of living that the child enjoyed
- Monetary support provided for other family members
- Debts arising during the marriage for the child's benefit
- Imputed income to a party who is voluntarily unemployed for the child's benefit
- Court-ordered payments for health care and education for the child's benefit
- Children's independent financial resources, if any
- Education, training, and/or career opportunities of the parties and/or ability to pursue those things

The Timex Nail Watch: Get the Time on Your nails
We have seen many different types of futuristic watches with strange shapes and design but none so unique as this. Now lets welcome the Nail watch, that can be worn on the thumb. You may have never seen a watch that can be worn on the thumb but times are going to change thanks to Timex. Timex, in collaboration with Core77, held a global design competition called 2154: the future of time design. So what we are seeing here is the TX54 concept which was a runner up there.
Thanks to a translucent body, the design blends seamlessly with the nail while a selection of text color options and a glow feature activating on command make it supremely functional as well. Press the end of your thumbnail, and the watch will light up for you. A perfect blend of appearance, user interface, and technology, the nail watch passes most standards of modern design with flying colors thanks to its functional and minimalist appeal. The watch looks stylish and chic and has a touch of Geeky style as well. The downside of this watch is that it is disposable. So with so many stylish watched being available now, it will be hard for it to survive in the market. Though it is quite innovative with a minimalist design, but it won’t last long on your finger.
No details about the availability or the price of this watch has been released by Timex. But since it is tiny and disposable, I don’t expect the price to be high. | <urn:uuid:c86ed1b0-be9f-4356-a11d-52512777548d> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.techzug.com/watches/timex-nail-watch-get-the-time-on-your-nails.html | 2020-12-03T16:50:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141729522.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20201203155433-20201203185433-00225.warc.gz | en | 0.961496 | 313 |

Summary: PCR of GC-rich DNA

Here is a summary of the ideas sent to us about using high GC DNA as a
template for PCR. We didn't say, but the product was from a defined region, ie
to subclone an intergenic region, so the "pick a low gc area to prime from"
posts missed the mark a little. We have no problem doing PCR up to 5kb
normally on the same organism, using 50% GC primers and Taq Extender.
>In our lab we have a gene that is 73% GC, more or less across the whole of the
>gene. This means that primers have a melting temperature of around 70-75
>degrees C, even for 17 to 18 mers. We have had no success from amplification.
>Does anyone have any suggestions for PCR conditions/protocols for
>amplification of a 900-1300bp fragment?
Try using deaza dGTP in your nucleotide mix. Start with a 75% dGTP/25%
deaza dGTP mixture with normal dATP, dCTP, and dTTP concentrations. The
only disadvantage to this procedure is that the product will not stain
well with ethidium bromide. Therefore, you must visualize the produce
using radioactivity that you incorporate or using labeled primers. The
deaza dGTP method has been used successfully to amplify across high GC
regions for several years in our laboratory.

University of Alabama at Birmingham
You might try including 10% DMSO in the PCR. We found this was required
to amplify a GC rich alternative exon in Drosophila Troponin I.
Ohio State University
You might wish to consider the use of 7deaza2deoxyguanosine
in your PCR. The reference for this is NAR 16:9869 (1988).
Try adding 10% glycerol (the Herpes lab next store has to do this because the
Herpes genome is 70% GC!) to the rxn
I've had good luck amplifying GC rich sequences from M.paratb. (see Vary et
al, J.Clin.Micro 28:933-937, 1990) but the shorter the better. Besides
mycobacteriologists, other people with related problems include those trying
to amplify long cgg repeats in affecteds with fragile-X syndrome (watch that
literature. You may want to try 200bp sequences for diagnostics but if you want
to isolate a big piece you may try picking primers that are as c-poor as
possible (ie whose binding sites are as g-poor as possible) and loading up on
Just a few suggestions:
1] Try 5-10% DMSO [fresh]
2] Try Stratagene's Pfu DNA polymerase- although you'll probably have to play
around with the buffer a bit. Pfu can withstand the higher annealing
temperatures and DMSO which tend to decrease Taq's efficiency. We've had
excellent results with amplification of GC-rich targets by incorporating
You need hot start(addition Tag before heat to 100 C after down
to primer Tm after addition Tag after run next cycle)
second suggestion is two step PCR use 94 C-72 C cycle

I was working on Dopamine D4 which
has a similarly (ridiculously!) high GC content. We found Stoffel fragment
of Taq was the only thing that could get PCR's to work. It's from Perkin
Elmer (no, I don't work for them!). Hope this helps

[Image via Tlönista in this comment thread at Flip Flopping Joy.]
One unfortunately common response to marginalized people saying that there’s a problem is the “Educate me NOW” demand from “well-intentioned allies” who totally mean well, but they just lack education on these issues and so just can’t understand what the fuss is all about.
I am using the following example not to appropriate from the awesome anti-racist work that Jessica Yee and the fabulous Racialicious crew (and countless bloggers around the web!) do on a daily basis, but rather for two specific reasons: 1.) I have already talked about my personal relationship with this oft-used derailing tactic rather extensively, and could probably talk about it ’til I’m blue in the face; 2.) anti-racist activism and disability activism are not completely separate, independent social justice strains — many of us who are involved in these activist projects are, in fact, fighting similar (though NOT completely analogous) battles. For me, claiming an identity as a feminist disability activist has entailed doing my best to fight racism and white privilege alongside fighting for disability rights. This is because disability and race intersect in many, many ways — sort of like how disability and gender, and race and gender, intersect. In other words, this is not just a disability issue, or a feminist issue, or a trans* issue, or an anti-racist issue; it affects many of us in the social justice blogosphere, if in differing ways.
The “educate me now because I want to learn, marginalized person!” response played out, yet again, fairly recently in the comments to a post on Bitch authored by Indigenous activist and writer Jessica Yee. Jessica had written a post on white hipster/hippie appropriation of native dress and why it’s not only ridiculous, but racist. Makes sense, right? (If it doesn’t, you might be at the wrong blog. Or go read this. I don’t know.) Overall, this piece seems like it would fit right in on a website for a magazine that is dedicated to showcasing “feminist response[s] to pop culture.”
And then the comments started rolling in, and so did the “but you have a responsibility to educate people who mean well!” trope:
I’m sure this is in fact extremely annoying. However, you might consider that when people bring that up, they’re not saying, “Hey I’m just like you and I totally understand what you deal with,” they’re trying to make a connection and learn something. Ignorant people are a pain in the neck, but they’re mostly not trying to be ignorant on purpose.
I‘m merely suggesting that if this is a cause you deem worthy of championing, then you should have a prepared source of information for them—be it this blog, book titles, or documentaries. Encourage them to learn more about THEIR history and perhaps you’ll draw a new soldier to your army.
It seems somewhat contradictory to put stickers on your laptop that indicate a Mohawk heritage and then rudely dismiss a stranger who expresses an interest in your advertisement. Perhaps a better way to accomplish your agenda (whatever it is) would be to engage in polite and open-minded conversation with those who mistake your stickers for an invitation.
Thea Lim at Racialicious pretty much nailed it in her recent post on what went down, entitled “Some Basic Racist Ideas and some Rebuttals, & Why We Exist” (which I highly recommend that you read in full, by the way). An excerpt:
This kind of hey-let-me-help-you-achieve-your-goal-by-suggesting-you-be-more-radio-friendly response totally misunderstands (and appears disinterested) in the anti-racist project, because it assumes that anti-racism is all about convincing white people to be nice to people of colour. In other words, it assumes that anti-racism revolves around white folks. Like everything else in the world.
Anti-racism and people of colour organizing is not about being friendly, being appealing, or educating white folks. While individual anti-racist activists may take those tacks to achieve their goals, the point of anti-racism is to be for people of colour.
I completely agree with Thea here — and I believe something similar applies to disability activism. That is: Those of us with disabilities are not here to make abled people feel comfortable, to hold their hands as they have a Very Special Learning Experience (most often, it seems, at our expense), or to make them feel good about themselves. I, personally, don’t care how “good” your intentions are, or that you reallllllly wanna learn, or if you think I’m being mean by not dropping everything to educate you when you demand it. While I definitely don’t want to speak for Jessica, Thea, or any of the Racialicious contributors — or for people of color who do anti-racist work — I suspect that they may feel similarly about white people who come into PoC, WoC or other anti-racist spaces and demand that whoever is doing the activist work must halt whatever discussion is going on and educate them, now, because they are good “liberal” white people and have such good intentions, and you PoC want white people like me as allies, right? And if you don’t drop everything and rush over to educate me, well, you’re just a big meanie who must not want my support after all (such “support” is often conditional, and based upon whether the marginalized person can make the non-marginalized feel comfortable at all times), or you just want an excuse to be racist toward white people! Or some other ridiculous thing.
For me personally, the willingness that I “should” have to help well-meaning folks learn is also an energy issue. I am a person with disabilities, several of which I have written about at length on this website — and one of which is a pain condition subject to flare-ups. Thus, I have to manage my time and energy extremely carefully. Having to explain basic concepts over and over again to strangers on the internet because they’ve deigned to tell me that they “want” to learn — and some of whom may think, by extension, that they are somehow entitled to my time and energy — takes work. Writing takes work; additionally, a lot of bloggers do the blogging and responding to comments thing for free, on their own time.
And sometimes, those of us with conditions that intersect with our ability to do this work end up burnt out, frustrated, or we lose our patience. Though these end results are often nothing personal, they might read like it, and we end up paying the price energy-wise only to have that person who realllllly wanted to learn petultantly respond with something like, “You must not want to educate me, then, if you’re not up to answering all of my questions!” and leaving in a huff. But they reallllly want to learn. . . that is, if someone else does the brunt of the work for them and/or gives them good-ally cookies for just wanting to be educated about all this social justice stuff. Merely wanting is not enough; you have to actually follow through for your good intentions to matter.
There is, thankfully, a solution to this problem: those people who say, or comment, that they realllly want to learn must take responsibility for their own learning. There are several ways that this can be accomplished, among them lurking on blogs for a while before one starts commenting, reading a site’s archives (and most sites have them!), picking up a book (or two), reading articles online or off. Certainly, there are a lot of things that are privileged about this assertion; of course, not everyone has the time to read about social justice, lurk on blogs, or take similar steps. But what is also privileged is the putting the responsibility for your own 101-type education onto someone else — someone who might not have all of the energy, time and patience that you might. | <urn:uuid:06b727d9-e8e4-4fb5-8ecd-8d1e4c02f7ca> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://annaham.net/tag/internet/ | 2015-08-02T08:14:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989018.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00328-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964341 | 1,751 |
Being a music teacher is the most incredible, creative fun
I’m spoilt for choice, and spoilt by choice. I have everything I need, and not quite what I want. I can have it all but I really need much less.
OK, so I sound like a petulant teenager. I’m not, I promise. Actually I’m an excited, inspired, passionate teacher who loves to create. I fell into teaching because as a ‘classical’ composer there aren’t many jobs around and composer-in-residence at a school with one of the most innovative music programs in the world seemed like a good way to pay the rent and support the family.
Then I discovered how completely wonderful teaching is. On nearly every level (well, yes, apart from all the paperwork and dealing with the fallout from when you get the paperwork wrong), be it interacting with young, uninhibited and open minds, or reopening defensive, self-concious adolescent ones. Be it passing on (often more by enthusiasm than any great wisdom or pedagogical innovation) some of the magic that is in music or finding out something I didn’t know from someone a third of my age. Brilliant.
Thanks to technology
And do you know what? Technology has made teaching just as creative as composing. I mean it. Really. I love spending a week in my studio working on a new piece of repertoire, but I also love preparing lessons. Because every lesson I publish my ideas as teacher to the learning management system (LMS). The students publish their own thoughts and reflections on what they’ve learned to their blogs. I don’t use the LMS as a textbook, although sometimes it does have that function when students haven’t listened to spoken instructions, but instead as a scaffold over which I will ‘perform’ in the classroom (and ask my students – yes, it’s a performance).
Every lesson in music involves my own research, revision and practice. I do sometimes use the same material but rarely, and when I do, I adapt it and make it better, like Bach and one of those cheeky themes you find in 3 or 4 different works. I might grab some source HTML off one page of the LMS, paste it to a new page for a different class, and repurpose the task. Or take the original structure and screen capture some new tutorials on how to make a drum beat in the X style that is current.
Heck, you know what I do, because I publish bits of it here on my website. It’s so fun for me, it’s so creative, and the students get to be creative back, like we playing a piece of music together even though we might be doing some musicological study or each writing our own solo over a given ground bass. (Yes, I get to write the ground bass, too)
Form and format
So, what is it I don’t have that I want? Or I have too much of? Formats. Or is it form? Perhaps both. I just want the perfect form for sharing this stuff. At the moment I can put it everywhere in any form and nowhere in any one form. Is this not getting clearer? I’m sorry, I’ll explain further.
The information I share with my students is a combination of four formats. It’s text, it’s image, it’s audio and it’s video. I’d love to be making animated games and lessons too, but hey, I’m trying to finish my PhD before I’m 50. There are nearly limitless ways you can share text, image, audio and video. In fact you’re reading in one such format now – whether you’re reading this in a web browser on your laptop, desktop or a mobile device it’s likely that it can also support any images, audio and video I want to share with you. In fact WordPress are even nice enough to reformat this page nicely if they detect you’re using a mobile device, so the format fits. There are also a gazillion other ways on the Web2.0 that I can publish these formats, be they blogs, wikis, whatever… all will use some HTML and possibly some other whizzy web-plugins to do that.
I’ll tell you why that’s not enough in a minute. The main point for now is that the information is in those 4 formats and I want it to be readable on any digital device, in one form. Good.
The next demands I have with my content are numerous. And they move past the content itself and the delivery medium into how I create them and how they are received. As well as publishing my text, images, audio and video, I want to be able to do it very quickly and for it to look absolutely beautiful. This means templates, and really good ones.
Then, to completely contradict myself, when I need total control over the layout, because it’s important and I’m prepared to spend time on it, I need that too. It needs to be robust and technical.
Layout is also important outside digital media. Believe it or not, there is a time when it’s best printed out and stuck in a scrapbook or given as a worksheet to fill in with analogue media (pens, pencils). But while it’s got to look good printed, it also has to be entirely viewable online, on any of the devices mentioned above, and if a student needs to take it with them it needs to be downloadable and useable offline (because, whatever the researchers tell you, the internet is not ubiquitous, even in rich inner-city student lives).
We’re getting closer now. I create all sorts of useful things for my students, and they’re made in a combination of text, image, audio and video. It’s incredibly easy to make but also very customisable and powerful; it looks beautiful on any kind of screen or printed to paper, and can be accessed online but also stored and accessed again offline locally. Piece of cake, right?
Ten years of nearly getting there
In just short of ten years teaching in a 1 to 1 school (yes, 1 to 1 for ten years, and wirelessly networked for that time too) I’ve nearly got there many times. We started with HTML. We were writing in code or using Dreamweaver, although you wouldn’t describe either of those as quick and easy. But once you’d developed some skills they were tolerable. What was horrible was the way your content looked so different from one browser to the next, and usually unrecognisable if you printed it. Yes, the advent of standardisation and CSS has helped much of this in recent years, so we’ll come back to HTML below: I’m just telling you why I abandoned it as the be all and end all publishing form first.
Next I went to PDF. PDF was, and still is in many ways, very cool. It looks exactly the same on many platforms, and has good mobile device support. You can put links between pages in a PDF document so it is navigable like a website as long as the PDF reader in question supports links. Text – check. Images – check. Audio – check, although it doesn’t seem to be as easily embeddable in the CS4 version I have of Acrobat Pro as it did in Acrobat 4 and 5. Video – hmmm – embedding video in PDF still seems to be a challenge, in that it wants to have separate video files, so sharing becomes a bit of a mess. Worse than that, doing these funky things in PDF now assaults you with a series of paranoid questions “Are you sure you want to play this media?”, “This document is trying to put itself into full screen mode and if you let it who knows what will happen”… Yuck! But – PDF is the king when it comes to printing, digital paper as it is. I had a lot of fun with PDF, and you can still see a big linked PDF which was part of my masters on David Ahern on the website. Local saving should be possible on all devices, too, so PDF is still not off the table, and any PDF pros reading this may be able to correct me on the problems I’ve had – but then I wonder how embedded media will be handled on each platform, if at all. And the publishing process can be a pain if you want to revise the original document after you’ve added extra elements in Acrobat…
Quicktime is another one we’ve played around with. Quicktime files don’t just have to be movies, they can have buttons and they can be podcasts with slides and all sorts. That’s pretty exciting when you consider how easy it is to build them with a program like Keynote or Pages. But you can’t print Quicktime movies, and some funny things seem to happen to some of the formats when they get shared around different platforms.
Flash. This will be the year I learn Flash. Honestly. I’ve got a book and everything. If I manage to get my head around Actionscript, I think Flash could do much of what I want it to do (I’m told you can even print or export pretty good images), but the chances of getting my head around it seems unlikely, being a programming language as it is. You can’t easily save Flash locally, either (well OK yes you can, but you’d need two downloads), so running it offline is going to be a pain, especially on mobile devices. In addition, without entering the current Apple vs Adobe argument and the rights and wrongs of all that, it’s not supported across all platforms and its performance is at least questionable, so it’s arguable that it’s not worth a huge investment of time yet – we may know the answer to that one in another 6 or 12 months.
Podcasting is not a form per se but a good way of delivering the text, image, audio and video formats all together in one place. I can create a podcast and podcast any mix of these kind of files under the one heading. It’s not beautiful but with a bit of structure – a PDF first to explain how it all fits together, and the following files in a sensible order – it’s a good way of delivering files which will naturally then be stored locally (and updated automatically) on any device. Close to iTunesU. Except, it turns out, that not all software on all devices will sync everything through a podcast. In my Apple-centric life I find that while iTunes is happy to receive a PDF in a podcast it will not sync to my iPhone. I would imagine other operating systems may well have similar quirks. Either way, it’s there, but not quite there.
Back to HTML
And so I end up back where I started with HTML, which is of course what our LMS is. HTML today is bloody brilliant. Yes you can now print HTML and it will look pretty good. Yes there are dozens of really great WYSIWIG HTML editors with beautiful templates and plenty of power behind the scenes if you want to customise. Yes there are a whole load of ways I can deliver video and audio in HTML and the most popular ones (eg MP3 and YouTube embedded) are supported by every mobile device I know.
So why on earth did I start this rant, when HTML does everything I want? Well, it’s the offline thing, you see. Yes, I know that there are programs that will download a site for you to view offline, and some browsers do an OK job on that too. Some will even cache the folder structure deep enough to make it really useful – though whether they cache flash movies and all linked resources I don’t know. But there doesn’t – so far – seem to be a mobile browser that does it, or a way to send folders of files linked by HTML through to mobile devices for offline browsing easily. And it’s important – students can’t afford to download 20Mb of video on a 3G connection. Cityrail doesn’t have wireless and I don’t think it’s coming. So I need some kind of container that bundles a site and all its media together and delivers it for offline viewing.
Or I need a completely new … thing …
Back to the future?
At our school we’re blessed with having a number of in-house developers building said LMS as well as working on things like a virtual learning space in Second Life, the school database and world domination. Every now and then they let the sunlight in on their office and I pop by – last week, having a look at an imported iPad, they asked what we wanted. I told them pretty much what I’ve written above, the MLC-mega app, that would allow me to publish my wonderful content to anything and everything, online and offline, quickly and easily and beautifully. Their answer – that I should become a developer. Yes, OK…
But isn’t this designable? I mean, I’m not saying our guys have time to do it (in fact I’m sure they don’t), but surely someone does out there. And I bet it’s not just educators looking for this magic combination. It could be simply a way of handing HTML and a number of media files within HTML, both offline and online. Or it could be a proprietary format, with an authoring program that would need to support Windows, Mac and Linux, and reading programs that cover… well, everything. They’d have to think hard about how to deliver content to closed systems with no file structure (eg iPhone, iPad), but from what I’ve seen already of viewing apps like iDisk and Dropbox this isn’t too hard – you download within the app and then it’s local for future viewing.
Would it really be that hard to build the thing that I need, the everything and the onething?
Or perhaps it already exists and I just don’t know it. If you do, please share in the comments below…

I don’t know why you’re bothering learning flash. HTML5 will make sure of it’s demise.
Well, that’s what Steve Jobs would have us believe! And certainly, if the future of HTML is that it will support media, animation and the kind of stuff you can do with Actionscript then yes, he’s right. But the developers who I’ve spoken to say it applies to media playback but won’t really be there for animation for around 5 years.
Everyone’s guessing, I suppose. That’s half the fun!
Back to my Literacies for Learning essay 😉
Sent from my iPad
I was doing a bit of reading on the Flash vs HTML5 debate last week and found this site created all in HTML5 as a proof of concept.
From what I’ve read, it seems that while HTML5 is still far from being ratified, the process will be much faster as more developers jump on board. I found a great article that explained this point but, of course, I didn’t bookmark it and now I can’t find it. Oh, hang on, I was using Firefox.
Nup, I can’t remember what it was called but here are some sites of interest I found. | <urn:uuid:e6caf38d-ae9e-4de9-ba9a-c29f5e817a12> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://humberstone.org/2010/05/26/all-about-the-format/ | 2023-03-25T23:36:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945376.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20230325222822-20230326012822-00336.warc.gz | en | 0.951012 | 3,358 |
Burpee Design Tool Provides Insight into Consumer Choices, Containers Recipes
Since its launch earlier this spring launch, Burpee Home Gardens’ new mobile design tool “My Garden Designer” has helped create more than 3,000 mixed container recipes for home gardeners across the country.
The new tool is also uncovering consumer gardening habits, color choices and preferences.
“The new ‘My Garden Designer’ tool not only makes garden design easy for home gardeners right from their mobile phones, but it is also providing some incredible insight on consumer gardening habits,” says Diane Hund, director of marketing for Burpee Home Gardens. “We’ve gathered input on color popularity, garden size, as well as planting preferences. Understanding the types of container recipes that the consumer ‘makes on her own’ is unchartered territory. This is really the first time we can get a glimpse into what combinations consumers are planting in pots or in the ground.”
This spring, gardeners have used My Garden Designer almost equally for both garden bed combinations (50%) and container/basket combinations (50%). The tool has also uncovered that 75% of gardeners created combo recipes for sun locations and 25% for shade.
Large garden beds still seem to be a popular project, taking the largest share of the overall recipes. For planting in garden beds, it was large (>6 ft.) that received the most choices at 56%, followed by medium (4-6 ft.) at 29% and small (2-4 ft.) at 15%. In containers, a mid-size container (16-24″) is the most prevalent at 52%, followed by large (>24″) at 31% and then small (10-16″) at 17%.
“We continue to add new consumer-driven recipes everyday, and anticipate topping 10,000 before the end of the season,” Hund says.

Center for Justice and Peace
Institute for Justice and Peace (under establishment)
The center will primarily engage the Justice and Peace Commission at the National level, in the dioceses the diocesan Justice and Peace Coordinators, employees and volunteers. We will also admit any other civil society organization which need strengthening the capacity on conflict transformation. It will be a center for training those who will serve the Justice and Peace Commissions and various civil society organizations who will apply. They Center will develop to target as well the civil servants. The Civil Servants: The current conflict demonstrated that South Sudan needs institutions that promote peaceful coexistence in the places of work. Evidence of colleagues fighting and targeting each during in the current conflict taught us the lesson that we need to build better relations among our civil servants, of harmony and reconciliation. Justice and Peace will invite civil servants to apply to Justice and Peace Institute and carry out conflict analysis and foundations of strong and cohesive institutions.
The primary focus of the institute is building the capacity of the grassroots organizations, starting with the Justice and Peace Commissions and other CSOs at that level. The Institute will start as a three months program by training the Justice and Peace Officers. This is a pilot, once it is successful then, it will be launched. It will also be combined with the Historical Memories Project to form the Justice and Peace Institute.
The University through the Institute of Applied Research and Community Outreach (IARCO) organized public lecture series under the title: Restoring South Sudan: Discussions on Reconciliation, Justice and Healing. The following topics were deeply discussed in the lectures series: initiative to organize this lecture series follows the recent launch of Bishop Barani Eduardo Hiiboro’s book “Reconciliation, Healing and Peace in South Sudan. Reflections on the Way Forward”, and further explores some of the main themes that are addressed in the book: peace mediation and settlement; reconciliation as a collective responsibility; justice and accountability; trauma and healing. These themes are highly interconnected and are separated in this lecture series for the purpose of a deeper exploration of both historical and contemporary experiences with, perceptions on and approaches to these issues.
The lecture series brought together academicians, civil society, religious leaders and politicians. It provided an open and constructive platform for a wide generational, gender and ethnic spectrum of South Sudan society. Each of the lectures consist will exist of a main presentation and invites various discussants to present and debate original and analytical ideas and viewpoints.
In the first lecture critically analysed the peace mediation and settlement process overseen by the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and place the negotiations in a wider socio-historical context. Matters of inclusivity of other stakeholders beyond the principal parties to the conflict, collective ownership and sustainability were raised and debated.
In the second lecture explored reconciliation as a collective responsibility. It discussed stopping the cycles of violence, reconciliation in an environment of deprivation, prejudice, mutual distrust and attaining moral reparation. Third Lectures concept of Justice was debated in the context of death and destruction, displacements, sexual violence and mass human rights violations and asks what different understandings of justice exist in South Sudan. Restorative justice in the context of multi-ethnic realities in South Sudan
In the fourth lecture Trauma, Vulnerability and healing was deeply discussed with the participation of the Morning Star Team from USAID.
In the fifth lecture a facilitator engaged the different speakers and audiences in dialogue on the more practical steps that followed from the lecture series. | <urn:uuid:4f41e823-d501-4313-a34b-abcd19ac2f60> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://cuofss.org/centerforjusticepeacecu.php | 2019-02-21T01:12:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247497858.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221010932-20190221032932-00448.warc.gz | en | 0.935728 | 720 |

A Manly Challenge
Jim DalyJim Daly is president and chief executive officer of Focus on the Family, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families thrive.
- 2011 Dec 16
Speaking on behalf of most men, I can say with confidence that guys love the thrill of a challenge. And although it might pale in comparison to summiting Mount Everest or running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, today’s radio program features a special invitation to all married men to “man up.”
First, some context:
On today’s show we’re talking with authors Bill and Pam Farrel, who have written the bestselling book, Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti. The Farrels work confirms what many of us instinctively know – that men tend to compartmentalize their lives while women are more likely to simultaneously integrate every facet of theirs.
These behavioral differences between the sexes can cause significant tension, but they can also create a very positive dynamic within the marital relationship.
Which brings me to the challenge.
As you’ll hear on the program, the Farrels encourage men to deliberately pursue their wives. You can’t just tell your wife that you love her, you have to show her by being attentive and spending time together.
To that end, can you commit today to doing something special for your wife every single month for the next year? It almost sounds so easy as to be ridiculous. But life with children and work and a hundred other responsibilities can quickly distract.
What you do for your wife is up to you. But maybe it’s treating her to a quiet dinner, a night on the town, a walk in the woods or sending her a series of love notes.
Just so long as it’s deliberate and thoughtful and lets her know how valued she is.
It’s important that guys hold each other accountable. So, my co-host, John Fuller, and I are going to keep checking on the other and report back next month and every month thereafter. We’ll share the results with you.
For now, you might be thinking, “Look, it’s December. I’m too busy! I’ll start next month.”
There is no time like the present. Please let us know what you have in the works, knowing that your contribution might very well help another guy get started. Now, if you’ll excuse, I have to start working on my notes to Jean...

MADRID.- The BBVA presents photographs that Ugo Mulas took in the 60s of such famous people such as Marcel Duchamp or Lucio Fontana. The exhibition presents in Spain one of the most famous journalist of Italian photography who performed works of a high conceptual implication.
Few artists in Italy have made as great a contribution to the evolution of photographic language as Ugo Mulas, who experienced and studied all its possible facets. From his first works in the nineteen fifties until his early death, he was able to show photographys potential as a medium and a language, inspiring profound reflection within the contemporary art world.
During the twenty years his career lasted, Mulas, who was totally self-taught, produced an impressive number of photographs as he tried out various fields from photojournalism to portraiture, fashion and advertising until achieving works with great conceptual impact as represented by the Verifiche series (1972), on which he worked during the last years of his life. His subtle ability to innovate, the result of his constant search and curiosity, can be perceived in this exhibition, which comprises 120 black-and-white photographs in various formats. His photographs of artists and the portraits taken during his trip to New York in an era of artistic effervescence brought him fame as an extraordinary portrait photographer who faced up to the nature of the work of art with all its implications, never limiting his role to that of chronicler.
Ugo Mulas (Italy, 19281973) studied law in Milan where he came into contact with artists and intellectuals. During his youth he worked making advertising and fashion photographs and collaborating with magazines such as Pirelli, Domus and Strehler. His work has been shown in international institutions such as the Prada Foundation, IVAM, the Reina Sofia Museum and the Museo dArte Provincia di Nuoro. | <urn:uuid:513a7369-3047-4532-a466-098e9f61f65e> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://artdaily.com/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=31182&int_modo=2 | 2017-04-29T05:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123276.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00110-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984278 | 385 |
As a Medium I act as a channel for contacting and communicating with the spiritual realm which may include communicating with the spirits of those who have passed and also other divine spirits such as spiritual guides and angels
As a clairvoyant it means I see things clearly beyond the normal senses. I may see energy, images and visions not only with my mind’s eye but also through the veil of matter, space, and time
As a clairvoyant medium I have been blessed with a strong intuition so that I can clearly envision the sequence of events that may have brought you to where you are right now, I can also bring to your attention pathways to follow and those to avoid I can teach you how to harness the energy of all circumstances to assist you in healing and transformation.
Our lives are continuously in flux and though we may fear change once we can welcome and embrace it we become more fully empowered.
What I ask is that you come with an open mind to your sitting so that you may hear what spirit wishes to reveal during your reading, it is in being open and without expectation that allows information to flow freely so that I may receive and give the messages without hindrance.
Whilst I am based in Sydney I do travel throughout the year to various festivals etc and will be in Tasmania for in person Readings at the body and soul festival in Launceston 20th -22nd March 2015 and also afterward for three days at Alices Cottages Launceston 23rd – 25th March 2015

|Gay News From 365Gay.com (Vancouver, British Columbia) Jane Rule, one of the pioneers of lesbian fiction, has died complications from liver cancer. She was 76.|
Born in New Jersey on March 28, 1931, Jane Rule was raised in the American Midwest and California.
In 1952 she graduated from Mills College and moved to Canada four years later, settling in British Columbia. Rule taught intermittently at the University of British Columbia until 1976 when she moved to Galiano Island to devote her full time to writing.
She is celebrated internationally for her fiction and her non-fiction.
Her career began in 1964 with the publication of her novel Desert of the Heart. One critic at the time wrote of the lesbian themed book: "But all the time you keep turning to the photograph of the author on the jacket and wondering how such a nice looking woman could ever have chosen do distasteful a subject."
But that is why Jane Rule was so important. Rule was one of the first out-writers to write openly about being a lesbian in major fiction.
But, it was her 1975 book "Lesbian Issues" that catapulted her onto the world stage. Rule attempted to set down what it means to be a lesbian. To do this, she beautifully measured her own attitudes toward sexuality against the images made by other women writers including Gertrude Stein, Willa Cather, Radclyffe Hall, Vita Sackville-West and others.

|The Canadian Press: 25 years after AIDS exploded, cases among gay men on the rise: "The commentary looks only at trends in western countries, where men who have sex with men have always made up the lion's share of people living with HIV-AIDS. They noted there was a 13-per-cent increase in American MSM living with HIV-AIDS between 2001 and 2005. A 10-fold increase in syphilis cases among MSM in the United States over the same period is further evidence of an increased frequency in unprotected sex, the authors said. HIV-AIDS rates among men who have sex with men are also in the increase in Canada."|

The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela
| From Chasing Sass la Petite : The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela is a feature film by Mr Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, an Icelandic director. This film claims that it is a feature film about a Filipina transsexual prostitute, but in reality it's about every one of us.|
I'll not write my full review yet because it will spoil the raw beauty of this film. Moreover, I'm too overwhelmed to write it yet. Here are some of my views about it:
1. This film made me smile, cry, sad, depressed, optimistic, pessimistic, angry, laugh, and think (a lot). This film did everything to me EXCEPT lie.

|GlossLip » Oscar De La Hoya May Or May Not Like Frilly Things: "We’ve been waiting for conclusive word on the whole “Oscar The Drag Queen” (sounds like a very special Sesame Street episode) controversy, and it seems we might never get to the bottom of it. Fortunately, ETonline is on the case and has obtained high res versions of the alleged photos featuring boxing champ De La Hoya in racy outfits, appearing with an “adult entertainer.” ETonline contacted forensic photo expert, Jeff Sedlik, and here are his findings: “Now that ET has provided me with access to high resolution images, I have been able to more carefully analyze the images,” says Sedlik. “In this instance, I can’t find any conclusive evidence that they have or have not been retouched, but if they were retouched, this was done by a skilled professional. Retouching and head swapping is a pervasive practice, in everything from car ads, to movie posters, and even in wedding photos. Photography these days is a house of mirrors. You can do anything. It is Alice in Wonderland, and we’re in the rabbit hole.”"|

|Dear Ask a Fag Hag:|
I'm a girl with a lot of queer friends that I just adore and love to hang out with. While hanging out at a gay bar this past weekend, the go-go boy we spent most of the night staring at gave me his number after his last dance. But I'm a little confused, if he's a gay man dancing for money from other gay men, isn't he therefore, gay?
I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to date this guy but I don't think I want someone who might go around and boink another dude behind my back. But if he really is gay, why did he give me his number saying "Call me?"

The controversial remark came Monday afternoon in the 18th hour of the live national telecast, when a visibly weary Lewis, 81, was joking on stage, pretending to introduce members of someone's family as he mugged for the camera. 'Oh, your family has come to see you. You remember Bart, your oldest son, Jesse, the illiterate fag ...,' Lewis said, as he apparently caught himself and ceased the gag in mid-sentence, turning on his heel away from the camera."|

|AP: Craig reconsiders decision to resign - Yahoo! News: "BOISE, Idaho - Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening. 'It's not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign,' Sidney Smith, Craig's spokesman in Idaho's capital, told The Associated Press. 'We're still preparing as if Senator Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we're able to stay in the fight — and stay in the Senate,' Smith said. Craig, a Republican who has represented Idaho in Congress for 27 years, announced Saturday that he intends to resign from the Senate on Sept. 30. But since then, he's hired a prominent lawyer to investigate the possibility of reversing his plea, his spokesman said."|

|Bedazzled!: Anti-Gay Politician Says Blacks Responsible For Soliciting Gay Sex Charge (Tampa, Florida) State Rep. Bob Allen (R), a longtime foe of LGBT rights in Florida, has a bizarre excuse for being charged with offering a male cop $20 for oral sex in a washroom at a park.|
He was busted last month in a sting at Veteran's Memorial Park in Titusville, Florida. (story)
In taped statements made by Allen to police following his arrest and released by the force Allen admits to soliciting the male officer but claims that it was the result of being nervous by the high number of black men in the park.
"I certainly wasn't there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn't there to exchange money for it," Allen told officers.
Of the arresting officer Allen said in the tape, "This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park."
He claimed he feared he "was about to be a statistic" would have said anything just to get away.

|ScienceDaily: Are Homosexual Civil Unions A 600-year-old Tradition?: "Science Daily — A compelling new study from the September issue of the Journal of Modern History reviews historical evidence, including documents and gravesites, suggesting that homosexual civil unions may have existed six centuries ago in France. The article is the latest from the ongoing 'Contemporary Issues in Historical Perspective' series, which explores the intersection between historical knowledge and current affairs. Commonly used rationales in support of gay marriage and gay civil unions avoid historical arguments. However, as Allan A. Tulchin (Shippensburg University) reveals in his forthcoming article, a strong historical precedent exists for homosexual civil unions. Opponents of gay marriage in the United States today have tended to assume that nuclear families have always been the standard household form. However, as Tulchin writes, 'Western family structures have been much more varied than many people today seem to realize, and Western legal systems have in the past made provisions for a variety of household structures.'"|

Baseball notebook: January 31
At a baseball media event today, coach Mike Fox and several of the UNC baseball players talked to the media about the upcoming season, which begins Feb. 14 against the College of Charleston. Here are some of the notes from the day:
Young infield is the biggest concern
Fox said North Carolina’s infield was the biggest defensive question mark for the team this year. After looking at the changes that will come in between the bases this year, it’s not surprising why that is.
The only returning regular infield position player is junior shortstop Michael Russell. Landon Lassiter is expected to take the primary third base duties after Colin Moran was taken in the first round of the MLB draft, Korey Dunbar will be the new starting catcher, Joe Dudek has won the team’s starting first base spot, and Fox said he doesn’t know who will start at second base. Freshman infielder Wood Myers is considered one of the favorites to land this spot, though, and Fox mentioned him as one of the incoming players who would have an impact on the team and play right away.
Players think No. 17 is too low, Fox not concerned
Several players said they thought the Tar Heels were ranked too low in Baseball America’s recent preseason rankings (UNC was ranked No. 17). Trent Thornton said he thinks the Tar Heels are a top-10 or top-15 team. Center fielder Skye Bolt also mentioned the ranking but said he doesn’t pay attention to those kinds of things. He did note the difference in being ranked lower this season and No. 1 a season before and said it puts a chip on the team’s shoulders.
Fox said he didn’t worry about the rankings, but he thought No. 17 was about right. He said he did like the fact that players were disappointed with it, though. He said he wants them to play like they are the best team in the country.
Weather limiting preparation
Fox said the Tar Heels weren’t where he expected them to be at this point in the offseason because they haven’t been able to take the field as much as they’ve wanted to. There was snow outside of the foul lines Friday afternoon. However, Bolt said the weather wasn’t an excuse to not be ready for the season because of the great facilities that the team has at its disposal.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- The Internal Revenue Service said U.S. pop icon Michael Jackson's estate owes $505 million in taxes and $197 million in penalties.
Jackson's executors said the late musician's net worth at the time of his death in 2009 was slightly more than $7 million, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
The IRS said his net worth was closer to $1.125 billion.
The discrepancy was so wide, the IRS said, it qualified for a gross valuation misstatement penalty, allowing the government to double the 20 percent penalty for underpayment.
"I've never even heard of the gross valuation misstatement penalty being asserted," said Andrew Katzenstein, an estate tax expert at the law firm Proskauer Rose in Los Angeles. | <urn:uuid:a2d93413-9d4f-47ea-85ad-ccd437043dab> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/2014/02/08/IRS-Michael-Jacksons-estate-owes-702M-in-taxes-penalties/UPI-90551391880648/?spt=mps&or=1 | 2016-06-27T04:24:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783395620.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154955-00183-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957612 | 164 |

I spent some time watching the NFL draft this past weekend. For those who aren’t sports fans, the draft is an annual event where professional teams take turns selecting college players to join their roster. It’s a huge event (the 2014 NFL draft drew a record 45.7 million viewers). The NFL is so popular that an event where someone reads names off a paper had higher ratings than two basketball and two hockey playoff games, combined.
The draft is the culmination of a process where students who have been working to prove themselves in a competitive amateur environment are picked and contractually obliged to implement their skills on behalf of a professional organization.
Sound familiar? It should. In many ways, the draft is analogous to the residency match.
One of the most interesting features of draft coverage is that analysts offer scouting reports on players. They talk about how some are “athletic and instinctive” while others “need more polish but can eventually be a starter.” They discuss strengths and weaknesses and how players will perform at the next level.
Watching the scouts evaluate players got me thinking more about selection processes. Every field, whether it’s football, medicine, finance, or technology, has some criteria by which it evaluates prospective members. Intuitively, you might assume that the way the NFL looks at students would be different than medicine.
But as I thought about it more, I realized the fields have a lot in common. The similarities between the NFL and residencies highlight a model for how organizations evaluate talent.
Broadly speaking there are two types of information that organizations use to assess ability. One type is objective data, which I will term “measurables.” Measurables are standardized metrics that have a generally accepted meaning. The other type is subjective assessment, which I will refer to as “intangibles.” Intangibles are qualities that don't appear on a resume but are critical to a person’s effectiveness, whether it's on the field or in the hospital. Intangibles are therefore determined not by accomplishments, but by subjective evaluations, recommendations, and interviews.
Standardized testing: The first measurable is perhaps an obvious one. In medical school, there are few moments more anticipated than the board exams. Standardized tests are consistently rated as the most important factor in students’ residency applications.
Similarly, football players must complete a battery of standardized performance tasks. These are workouts for the most part (but include a multiple choice test too). Just as a medical student’s likelihood of matching to a certain program can dramatically improve or decline based on a Step 1 score, an athlete’s stock can turn on his 40 yard dash time.
Prior performance: Past performance is one of the most popular indicators for future potential. If a student performs well on medical school rotations, it’s reasonable to expect them to continue as a resident and attending. Grades are used to measure performance on rotations, with better grades suggesting more skill.
Athletes also display their skills in a collegiate environment. Their statistics reflect their ability to perform at a high level. If a player can set touchdown records in college, the hope is that they can do the same as a pro.
School reputation: A reasonable complaint regarding the “prior performance” metric is that medical students and college football players don't compete in a uniform environment. Contextual factors dictate what it means to perform at a high level. Stanford’s athletic conference, the Pacific 12, is one of the best in the country. Stanford football therefore competes against more talented opponents than many other teams. Success in this environment is that much more impressive.
While medical schools make an effort to standardize curricula, different institutions, and even different attendings within the same institution, have variable expectations for students. As a result, the same grade can mean different things depending on where it came from.
Since there is no perfect way to evaluate competitors across these different contexts, NFL teams and residencies often use a student’s school as a proxy to gauge performance expectations. Players coming out of top tier football programs or students coming out of prestigious academic institutions tend to get the benefit of the doubt.
Leadership: As I mentioned previously, intangibles are more difficult to assess but can be equally important in determining someone’s ultimate success. Leadership is one of the most sought after intangible traits, whether in medicine or football. Both residencies and NFL teams judge leadership skills through personal interactions (e.g. interviews), references (letters of recommendation or assessments from scouts/coaches), and by identifying examples of leadership qualities.
Examples of leadership can take many forms. In medicine, it often involves leadership roles in extracurricular activities, but it can also mean advocating for a patient or managing a complex case on rotations. Football players can display leadership in multiple forums as well, whether it is community engagement or guiding a team in a high pressure game situation.
Work ethic: It’s hardly a surprise that any competitive field values people that work hard. Even so, I think both medical students and athletes sometimes underestimate the importance of demonstrated work ethic.
In both medicine and football, the pool of people who meet a threshold level of skill is larger than the pool of people who will match into a competitive residency or who will be drafted. Organizations can therefore use work ethic as a differentiating factor to determine who is worth taking.
As with leadership, demonstrating work ethic can take many forms. It can be an attending or coach commenting on someone’s drive. It can take the form of a football player showing up to run drills after practice. Or it can manifest as a medical student completing one research project after another even while busy with school.
Fit: Lastly, organizations use “fit” as a somewhat undefined but important selection criterion. Certain residencies look for specific types of applicants. For instance, a very academic program may look for a student with an interest in research, while another program may want an applicant with geographic ties to the area.
For NFL teams, fit often refers to a positional need. If a team desperately needs a quarterback, they will likely draft a quarterback even if a supremely talented linebacker is available. In both the case of medicine and football, fit includes acknowledging and accepting an institutional culture.
This is necessarily an incomplete framework – an exhaustive list of the factors that go into judging medical students and college football players could fill several books. I also recognize that many of the metrics listed here are imperfect at best.
Regardless, it encompasses many of the key features that organizations use to evaluate talent, whether it's residency or an NFL team. With so many similarities, perhaps it’s only a matter of time before ESPN starts televising the drama of the match.

Katharine Weber is the author of the award-winning novel, “Triangle” about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Her new novel, “True Confections,” plays with the characters’ and readers’ sense of truth. In the spirit of protagonist Alice Tatnall Ziplinsky, the narrator of “True Confections,” the following interview may not have happened exactly as written. But these words nevertheless record truth and were approved by Weber.
Beth Kissileff: How did you become a writer?
Katharine Weber: I taught myself to write by being a reader. I wanted to be with other writers and did many journalistic interviews with writers. After an interview with Erica Jong, she said to me: “You’re a writer. I’m a witch about these things, and I think you’re going to be successful.” It was a brilliant thing for her to say to someone who was going to write a profile about her! Another time, I was writing a profile of Philip Roth. He wanted to approve all the quotes, everything I put in his mouth. I made up some; they were things he was saying or meant to say, I just helped him to say them. And he approved all of them!
I do want to acknowledge that this is not good journalism, it’s fiction writing, and when I did this I recognized that it was time to be a fiction writer and stop skating along this dangerous edge.
I was working on a novel, but it went on the list after other things, after my journalistic work, packing lunches, cleaning the cat’s litterbox. The world was not waiting for my novel. I sent a story to The New Yorker in 1993 and got a rejection. I rejected their rejection. I thought it was a good story, so I sent it back. A different reader read it, liked it and took it to Daniel Menaker (then fiction editor), who loved it. After it was published, I told Menaker the story and he thought it was hilarious! They made a mistake.
Tell me something about the identity shifts in the novel.
All the characters become something different. The first generation founder [of fictional Zip’s Candies] Eli Czaplinsky changes himself from a Hungarian Jew to an American, and when he moves from New York to New Haven, Connecticut he remakes himself again. Alice, the narrator, leaves her family and identity as “arson girl” to become a Ziplinsky [Note: We won’t spoil the plot by explaining]. There is a runaway from Africa who shifts his identity. Julius Czaplinsky, in Madagascar, goes native.
Does Alice change over the course of the novel?
She is, by the end, more Ziplinsky than Tatnall.
Do you have a careful plan for your novels?
You write fiction wanting to be surprised. If you have a plan, deviations are fruitful. If there is no deviation, something fails. All this is true even more with an unreliable narrator. It is usually desirable for an author to know the truth about a character’s motives. But I don’t know what happened with the accident [Note: A fire set by Alice, the narrator]. It is generally bad for an author not to know, but here the ambiguity is necessary. In my earlier novel, “The Music Lesson,” are two characters really cousins or not? I am raising questions, not answers. Alice is a character who is willing to be a victim.
I’m fairly well versed in Jewish history and I haven’t heard of the Madagascar Plan. Is it real?
All the factual information in the novel is real. If I were going to write a book on it, I’d call it “The First Solution.” The Third Reich wanted to relocate 4 million Jews to Madagascar, but they didn’t win the Battle of Britain. The Third Reich thought they would win, and then they would have the British fleet at their disposal. This is a crucial turn of events in the history of the Madagascar Plan’s failure battle with Britain, [that they] didn’t have the resources for transportation. The other thing about Madagascar is that cacao is grown there. All the places cacao grows are 20 degrees from the equator.
How much do you live in your invented world?
I went to candy conventions, twice. The articles about them are on my Web site. The second time I went, I felt as if I could have hallucinated the Zip’s Candies booth there on the convention floor. I wanted to tell all the people around me: “You’re in my novel! I invented you!” Each time you write a novel, you have to learn how to write that novel. They’re all different.

The recession has left some state and local governments desperate for new sources of money. That's giving a boost to an idea public-health types have been pushing for a while now: taxing sodas and other drinks with added sugar.
New York's governor has called for a penny-per-ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, and Philly's mayor wants one that's twice that high.
Some public-health experts argue that taxes like these could slow the rise in obesity rates. The beverage industry has called it "a money grab, pure and simple," and says it's a "myth" that taxing one type of product will affect obesity rates.
For both sides, there's a fundamental economic question here: How much would a tax drive down consumption?
Economists call this issue "price elasticity of demand" -- how much demand goes down as price increases. Price elasticity of demand is different for different products.
A study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine used data from a 20-year study to estimate that a 10% increase in the price of soda would lead to a 7% decrease in the amount of soda calories people consume.
A recent paper in the American Journal of Public Health pooled results from 14 previous studies and concluded that for the broad category of "soft drinks," a 10% increase in prices would lead to an 8% decrease in consumption.
Sodas, sports drinks and the like only cost a few cents per ounce. So a penny-per-ounce tax could lead to a price hike of about 20%.
Price elasticity isn't totally linear -- a price hike of 20% wouldn't reduce demand by exactly twice as much as a hike of 10%. Still, those recent studies suggest that a penny-per-ounce tax could drive down consumption of sugary beverages by well over 10%. | <urn:uuid:51330c3f-a284-4894-be10-fb2b467d75cb> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2010/03/how_much_would_a_soda_tax_chan.html | 2020-02-27T21:14:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146809.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200227191150-20200227221150-00366.warc.gz | en | 0.971661 | 376 |

Grant Underwood, “Insights from the Early Years: 2 Nephi 28–30,” in Second Nephi, The Doctrinal Structure, ed. Monte S. Nyman and Charles D. Tate Jr. (Provo, UT: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 1989), 323–39.
Insights from the Early Years: 2 Nephi 28–30
From time to time Latter-day Saints hear an interpretation of scripture that is edifying, yet different from their own, and think, “That is an interesting idea; how did he/she come up with that?” They probably realize, with Nephi, that if scripture is to be for people’s “profit and learning,” it must be “liken[ed]” unto them (1 Nephi 19:23), and they probably also understand that different life circumstances permit different interpretive perspectives. In that spirit, our purpose here is to step back into the past and respectfully review the ways in which Saints during the lifetime of Joseph Smith understood and applied the words of Book of Mormon prophets. Aside from learning more about and from our pioneering predecessors, we shall also come to realize just how historically accurate Moroni’s statement was that the Lord showed unto him “that day when [the Book of Mormon] shall come forth” (Mormon 8:34). During the years before the Saints came to Utah, few portions of the Book of Mormon drew as much attention as “Chapter XII” of 2 Nephi, now known as 2 Nephi 28–30 (see Underwood, “Book of Mormon Usage,” for database). Early Mormons found these chapters, which will be the focus of this study, brimming with prophetic meaning for their day. They were impressed both by the detailed descriptions of their age as well as by the grand visions of Israel’s future which they encountered in these chapters.
One early reference summed up chapters 28 and 29 with the words “State of the Gentiles in that day” (References to the Book of Mormon, i; hereafter References; see also Underwood “The Earliest Reference Guides”). As we shall see, the Saints were both comforted and motivated by Nephi’s eloquent testimony of the apostate condition of Gentile Christendom. In their index to the first European edition of the Book of Mormon, Brigham Young and Willard Richards singled out 2 Nephi 28:3–4 with the summary that they “Teach with their learning & deny the Holy Ghost” (Book of Mormon 638). Remembering what sent Joseph Smith to the Sacred Grove and recognizing that many converts expressed similar concern over the multitude of competing sects, it is easy to see how such verses, by predicting the exact state of affairs in which the Saints found themselves, would have not only explained the religious world around them, but would have also confirmed the authenticity of the Book of Mormon.
The contrast between the “learning” of men and the “utterance” of the Holy Ghost apparent in these verses was particularly important to early missionary efforts. The Latter-day Saints proclaimed the restoration not only of true principles but also of divine power. The gifts of the spirit, such as prophecy, visions, healings, tongues, etc. were felt to be the right and privilege of every earnest seeker properly baptized. These were the ‘signs following faith’ promised in the Gospel of Mark. In 2 Nephi 28:5–6, Nephi predicts the Gentile response to this message of power: “If they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord, believe it not; for this day he is not a God of miracles; he hath done his work.” Ever since Tertullian failed to persuade the late second-century Catholic Church that denying contemporary revelation meant that “the Holy Spirit was chased into a book,” belief in plenary inspiration has been relegated to the minority fringes of Christianity (Shelley 80).
In 2 Nephi 28:7, Nephi continues prophetically to pan the “state of the Gentiles:” “Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.” In verse 8, Nephi notes that others, while making a pretense at piety and recognizing that they may have to suffer briefly in the next life for their wrongdoings, will nonetheless go on committing sin, falsely assuming they will be saved anyway. General histories of early America amply confirm the presence of such attitudes (see Turner, Wilson and May). In the minds of the devout in the early 1800s, one of the most disturbing developments in the previous generation or two had been the rise of liberal religion or “deism,” as it was popularly labeled. By whatever name, denial of the miraculous in human history, including the rejection of a future resurrection and day of reckoning, seemed to threaten the very foundation of Christian morality. As Lehi had earlier remarked, where there is no “punishment affixed,” righteousness could not be brought to pass (see 2 Nephi 2:10).
Second Nephi 28:12 indicates that the teachers of such doctrines would have churches of their own. Early Latter-day Saints may have seen in these phrases allusions to the Universalist church, which was a popular, early nineteenth century denomination espousing belief in the ultimate salvation of all regardless of earthly behavior (see Miller). References (ii) labeled as “universalian” Nehor’s similar teaching “that all mankind should be saved at the last day, and that they need not fear nor tremble” as if their salvation hung in the balance. Instead they should “lift up their heads and rejoice; for the Lord had created all men, and had also redeemed all men; and in the end, all men should have eternal life” (Alma 1:4).
Whether it was understood as referring to “liberal” religion generally or Universalism particularly, the Book of Mormon takes quite seriously the fact that there will be a price to pay for ungodly living. Torment, hell, and condemnation are very much alive in the Book of Mormon and were very much alive early in this dispensation. Despite the portion of an 1830 revelation (D&C 19) redefining “eternal punishment” and “endless torment” as simply “God’s punishment,” without connotations of duration, Latter-day Saints, before the late Nauvoo years, generally maintained a traditional commitment to the reality of hell, the validity of postmortal punishment, and the occasional need for eternal retribution (Underwood, “‘Saved or Damned’”). As Oliver Cowdery remarked in answer to a Universalist preacher who visited Kirtland in 1835, “. . . if no such principle exists as damnation, and that eternal, . . . [God] has spoken nonsense and folly” (151). No matter how soothing the thought to liberal religionists, mercy, in that striking phrase from the Book of Mormon, could never be allowed to “rob justice.”
Later in chapter 28, Nephi included additional examples of apostate deception resulting from the liberal Christianity of Joseph Smith’s America. Early Mormon Robert Crawford singled out 2 Nephi 28:22: “And behold, others he [the devil] flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none-and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance” (2 Nephi 28:22). Recent studies of nineteenth century theological controversies concerning hell and eternal punishment as well as the history of popular belief about Satan make clear that such thinking was definitely on the rise at the time of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon (see Rowell, Russel, and Turner).
Beyond irreligion, hypocritical religion was also felt by the Saints to be graphically foretold in Chapter 28. Charles B. Thompson concluded his lengthy volume, Evidences in Proof of the Book of Mormon, with an appendix entitled “A PROCLAMATION AND WARNING TO THE GENTILES WHO INHABIT AMERICA.” At one point he declared, “wo, wo, wo unto the inhabitants in all this land,” and then quoted 2 Nephi 28:11–16 as his explanation (191, 231–32). These verses describe religionists who “rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries,” “persecute the meek,” “wear stiff necks,” “are puffed up in the pride of their hearts,” “commit whoredoms,” “turn aside the just for a thing of naught,” and “revile against that which is good.”
In their 1841 index Young and Richards also cited the passage about “Rob[bing] the poor” (638). That they would have targeted such abuse seems natural when it is remembered that at the time they created the index they were living amidst the grovelling poverty of the manufacturing district of Manchester, England. Converts and investigators alike, whose working class slogan was “We want more bread and less Bibles, more pigs and less parsons” (Arrington 85) would have resonated with Nephi’s description of the oppression exercised by the clerical elite.
This rather dark picture of establishment Christianity may seem harsh to modern ears, but it was fully in keeping with the image of total apostasy so common to early Mormon literature and preaching. Furthermore, since jeremiads, or impassioned cataloguings of contemporary corruption, had been a staple of American life for nearly two centuries, people were less likely to be put off by such rhetoric. It was part of the catharsis before conversion. In early 1833, Joseph Smith composed his first description of the LDS faith for public consumption in a letter to the American Revivalist and Rochester Observer. “For some length of time I have been carefully viewing the state of things as now appear throug[h] out our christian Land and have looked at it with feelings of the most painful anxiety.” He went on to describe the “vail of stupidity which seems to be drawn over the hearts of the people,” and asked in language reminiscent of the passage just quoted from the Book of Mormon, “Has not the pride highmindedness and unbelief of the Gentiles provoked the holy one of Israel to withdraw his holy spirit from them and send forth his Judgments to scourge them for their wickedness; this is certainly the case. . . . distruction to the eye of the spiritual beholder seemes to be writen by the finger of an invisable hand in Large capitals upon almost evry thing we behold-” (Jessee 270–72, original punctuation and spelling retained).
This sobering prophetic analysis stood in sharp contrast to the ill-founded optimism of Christendom generally. As Nephi predicted in verse twenty-one, the cry would be heard “all is well in Zion, yea Zion prospereth.” Despite its usual modern application as an in-house warning to the Saints, the context for this verse is one which describes latter-day Gentile attitudes. Furthermore, and often unknown to modern Mormons, the word “Zion” was also in common usage among Protestant groups in Joseph Smith’s day as a synonym for the church or the cause of religion generally. With the rapid expansion of their foreign missions and the spread of domestic revivals during the Second Great Awakening in the early nineteenth century, Gentile churches did indeed confidently proclaim the prosperity of Zion or what they took to be the cause of God. The famous revivalist, Charles G. Finney, told a Rochester, New York, audience in the late 1820s that if believers would exert themselves, the earth could be Christianized and the Millennium brought on within three years (see Johnson and Ahlstrom).
The Latter-day Saints, however, knew better. As Sidney Rigdon remarked, “The ignorance of the religious teachers of the day never appeared more glaring in any thing, than in an attempt to create a Millenium by converting this generation” (163). With Joseph Smith, the spiritually enlightened knew that things were bad and that they were only going to get worse. Jesus said, and the Saints often reiterated, that as it was in the days of Noah, so it would be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man (see Irving). Rather than widespread conversions, the Saints learned from Nephi that the latter-day followers of Christ would be “few” and that the “dominions” of his Church would be “small” “upon . . . the face of the earth” (1 Nephi 14:12). For the majority of the Anglo-American world, the future, though not predestined, was predictable. Parley P. Pratt quoted the first part of 2 Nephi 28:32 to the Methodist detractor La Roy Sunderland: “Woe be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts; for notwithstanding I shall lengthen out my arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me” (Truth Vindicated 14).
A final declaration in 2 Nephi 28 that attracted attention was verse 31: “Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.” Along with other Christian primitivists, W. W. Phelps found the creedalism of the mainline denominations distasteful and saw in this passage a pointed repudiation of such practices. “The world,” said he, “endeavors to worship the Lord by wisdom . . . and thousands risk their souls from year to year, on the saysoes, creeds and covenants of men, when it is written, Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man . . . [2 Nephi 28:31]” (“Church of Christ” 74). Amidst the bewildering babel of conflicting voices, man needed something authoritative-the voice of inspiration.
On one of his many missionary tours, Heber C. Kimball wrote, “We delivered our testimony to many [ministers] who with one consent said ‘we have enough and need no more revelation;’ thus fulfilling a prediction of the Book of Mormon [2 Nephi 29:3]” (507). This passage seemed to be fulfilled at every turn of the corner in early Mormon experience. “The vanity, the unbelief, the darkness, and wickedness of this generation,” explained the editor of the Messenger and Advocate, “has caused many to fulfill the predictions of Nephi” (“Beware of Delusion” 251). Predicted in prophecy, the book’s frequent rejection thus ended up promoting faith rather than sowing doubt.
In verses seven and eight Nephi reminds the Gentiles that there are more nations than one and that together the testimony of two nations is a witness to God’s divinity. Benjamin Winchester, an important early missionary and publicist in the Church, felt this passage was quite significant, especially for illustrating how the Jews would ultimately be converted. “There are many of the House of Israel,” he remarked, “that do not believe that Christ is the true Messiah . . . but when the Book of Mormon is presented unto them they will discover that it is the testimony of another nation that was secluded from those of the Eastern continent.” Winchester remarked that the Book of Mormon’s agreement with the Bible fulfilled Nephi’s prophecy of “the testimony of two nations” that have “run together, both affirming Christ to be the Son of God. This,” he noted, “will be a testimony that will not be easily dispensed with [by the Jews]; consequently they will search deep into the matter, and perad-venture learn that Jesus is the true Messiah. Hence we see the utility of the Book of Mormon” (129). Significantly, a decade ago when proselyting lessons for the Jewish people were introduced, they proceeded on this very premise that the Book of Mormon, as Winchester early recognized, would be the special key to their conversion.
In the final portion of chapter 29, the early Saints found several other ideas that impressed them. “For I command all men,” declared the Lord in verse eleven, “both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written” (v. 11). Brigham Young and Willard Richards, for example, called attention to this passage for its corroboration of the Biblical doctrine of accountability and judgment. A different application of the same verse was made by Times and Seasons editor John Taylor, who used it to prove that since islands were specifically mentioned, there must be “a remnant of the house of Israel, somewhere on the Islands of the sea” (“Notice” 426). For those committed to the complete gathering of Israel, the elect were to be hunted out wherever they might be hidden.
Parley P. Pratt concluded the penultimate chapter of his classic A Voice of Warning and Instruction to All People by citing the closing verses of 2 Nephi 29. His chapter title-”THE DEALINGS OF GOD WITH ALL NATIONS IN REGARD TO REVELATION”-identifies his interpretive purpose. According to Pratt, God “has granted unto all the nations of the earth the privelege [sic.] of feeling after him and finding him . . . whether they were in Asia, Africa, Europe, or America; or even upon the islands of the sea. Now, we will suppose a case; what if any nation, in any age of the world, or in any part of the earth should happen to live up to their privileges; . . . what would they obtain? I answer, Revelation.” He continued, “. . . if they did obtain revelation, it was their privilege to write it; and make a record of the same, . . . and this record would be sacred . . . no matter whether it was written by the Jews, the ten Tribes, the Nephites, or the Gentiles” (193–94).
Just such a scenario is provided for in 2 Nephi 29:12, and verses 13 and 14 explain how each people would have the words of the others and that just as the house of Israel would be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions, so would God’s word also “be gathered in one” (v. 14). Thus after quoting the famous prophecy from Isaiah that “The knowledge of the Lord is to cover the earth, as the waters do the sea” (11:9), Pratt queried, “Now, I ask how this great overturn is to be brought about; and I know no better way to answer this question, than to quote the prophecy of Nephi” (Voice of Warning 201–2). He then cited the verses just discussed.
To the uninitiated, early Mormon rhetoric occasionally sounds harsh, almost vindicative. This, however, is due in large part to the Saints’ firm belief in the inevitable and complete fulfillment of God’s word, including less than flattering scriptural descriptions of the wicked and their fate. It is also important to point out that theirs was no morbid monomania, for they also noticed the glimmers of hope embedded in scripture. References for example, in one of only three citations for the entire section under discussion, made certain, after the dismal scene of the previous chapters, to call attention to 2 Nephi 30:1–2 with the phrase “Mercy yet for the Gentiles” (i). Here Nephi cautions that “because of the words which have been spoken ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed. For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord.”
From the beginning, the Saints showed interest in reports of Jewish conversions and emigrations to Palestine. Their interest was shared by most Protestant denominations and was particularly strong in Britain. There, by the 19th century, religious impulses mingled with political desires to shore up a waning Ottoman empire and generated considerable enthusiasm for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. When the apostles arrived in England in 1839–40, they found themselves in the midst of widespread discussion on the topic. Famed Christian Zionists such as Lord Shaftesbury as well as Jewish Sir Moses Montefiore were prominent in the effort to bring about the restoration of the Jews through human instrumentality (see Sharif). An observant millenarian like Parley P. Pratt could hardly miss the excitement of the times and included occasional reports of it in his England-based Millennial Star. The year before Pratt’s arrival, British Secretary of the Admiralty and devout millenarian, Henry Innes, sent a “Memorandum to the Protestant Sovereigns” on “behalf of many who wait for the redemption of Israel.” This document implored the European leaders to act as ancient Cyrus had and allow the Jews to return to Palestine, and it was published in all the prestigious papers of Britain. Pratt called attention to it in his paper, as well as to reports of Jews who had or who were about to convert to Christianity, and then remarked, “Thus is fulfilling a prediction of Nephi: ‘And the Jews shall begin to believe in Christ, and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land’ [2 Nephi 30:7]” (19).
In the early years following the Reformation, Protestant commentary was almost united in the belief that the conversion of the Jews would precede their gathering. By the eighteenth century, however, and especially in the 19th when Christian Zionism mixed with politics, spiritual restoration was no longer considered a prerequisite to territorial restoration. While both opinions could be found among the Saints, most went along with Wilford Woodruff, who wrote in his journal, “If the Jews ever go to Jerrusalem [sic.] they will not go as Jews but all Christians as Christ[‘]s body &c.” (2:271). This also seems to be how Pratt was reading verse seven which juxtaposes the conversion and gathering of the Jews.
The restoration of Old World Israel, however, always took a back seat to the restoration of New World Israel, the Indians. During the lifetime of the Prophet Joseph Smith, one of the most frequently cited of all Book of Mormon passages was 2 Nephi 30:3–8. In answer to La Roy Sunderland’s Mormonism Exposed, Parley P. Pratt introduced these verses by declaring: “The Book of Mormon contains many Prophecies, yet future, with names, places and dates, so definite, that a child may understand; indeed, it is one of the peculiar characteristics of the Book of Mormon, that its predictions are plain, simple, definite, literal, positive, and very express, as to the time of their fulfillment. Notice a prediction of Nephi . . .” (Truth Vindicated 13). Among other events, the passage Pratt referred to foretells the coming forth of the Book of Mormon and its role in restoring the Lehite remnant to a knowledge of their true identity.
“The Indians are the people of the Lord,” wrote W. W. Phelps in his famous series of letters to Oliver Cowdery, “and the hour is nigh when they will come flocking into the kingdom of God, like doves to their windows; yea, as the book of Mormon foretells-they will soon become a white and delightsome people” (“Letter No. 11” 193). Reflecting on the passage describing how the Indians would gain a knowledge of their spiritual heritage through the Book of Mormon, Phelps enthused, “And how much is the joy of our hearts enlarged, when it is known the ‘poor Indians,’ are to be raised from their low estate, and miserable condition, by the everlasting gospel; even the fullness of the gospel contained in the Book of Mormon, and other books of God?” (193; emphasis in original).
As with the Jews, the early Saints also anticipated a territorial restoration for the Native Americans. From the revelations to Joseph Smith the Saints had learned that Zion was to be built in western Missouri, and portions of 3 Nephi were read to mean that the Lamanites would exercise a prominent role in building and settling the New Jerusalem. In this interpretive climate, the concurrent U. S. Government policy of relocating the Indians just west of the revealed Missouri site struck the Saints as too coincidental not to be providential. For those who could read the handwriting on the wall, it was clear that Jehovah was using Andrew Jackson just as he had used Cyrus the Great to facilitate the gathering of his people. Numerous comments to this effect are found in the Missouri-based The Evening and the Morning Star. “Last week,” wrote the editor in the December 1832 issue, “about 400, out of 700 of the Shawnees from Ohio, passed this place for their inheritance a few miles west, and the scene was at once calculated to refer the mind to the prophecies concerning the gathering of Israel in the last days. For the instruction of our readers, we make a quotation from the Book of Mormon” (Phelps, “The Indians” 54).
Aware that not all the Indians may have been happy recipients of such assistance, the editor earlier commented, “Notwithstanding the Indians may doubt, or even fear the policy of the government of the United States, in gathering and planting them in one place, &c.-they may be assured, that the object is good, and they will soon be convinced that it is the best thing that has come to pass among them for many generations” (Phelps, “Remarkable Fulfillment” 32). Occasionally this grand vision of the restoration of Indian Israel could get a little carried away, as in a particular excerpt which Parley P. Pratt later deleted from the second and all subsequent editions of his Voice of Warning. Pratt urged the Indians to tolerate the Removal Act as a kind of reward, for the injuries you have received from [the Gentiles], for the very places of their dwellings will become desolate; except such of them as are gathered and numbered with you; and you will exist in peace, upon the face of this land, from generation to generation. And your children will only know, that the Gentiles once conquered this country, and became a great nation here, as they read it in history; as a thing long since passed away, and the remembrance of it almost gone from the earth. (191)
By the late Nauvoo years, however, the Mormons were disappointed with the actual results of Indian removal, and the partnership between God and government no longer seemed so apparent. “As to what the [other Christian] missionaries do for the Indians, they have their reward,” wrote John Taylor in Times and Seasons; “they are hirelings—All they have done, and all they will do, will be as a drop in the bucket” (“Indian Affairs” 829; emphasis in original). Lest readers get the wrong impression, Taylor continued,
That we may not be accused of a want of charity, we will state, no doubt, the government officers do what they consider humane and praiseworthy in removing the Indians; and the [C]hristian clergy suppose they are rendering God a little service in preaching to and teaching the rude sons of [the] forest; but from the results . . . it appears he has never given authority to any to act for him without direct revelation, it will be sufficient for our purpose, to say when the deliverer comes out of Zion, he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. (830)
This was the crux of the issue for the Latter-day Saints. “It will be seen,” explained Taylor, “that God, and not man, has the power to bring Jacob to his glory again.” In support of this he goes on to quote 2 Nephi 30:3–6.
So what is to be learned from all this? How does a review of early understandings of the Book of Mormon broaden our horizons? If nothing else, we should have noticed that the Saints followed the admonition of Nephi to “liken” the scriptures unto themselves. That modern Mormons would not necessarily subscribe to every interpretation encountered in the literature of the 1830s and 40s is of no greater concern than the fact that in the process of creating contemporary relevance for their day, Joseph Smith and Paul occasionally used the same Old Testament passage differently. This leads to a second observation. When Moroni declared in Mormon 8:34, “The Lord hath shown unto me . . . that day when these things shall come forth among you,” he may have been more specific than some people realize. Our survey of early understandings of 2 Nephi 28–30 makes clear that the religious landscape prophetically described by Nephi for the time of the Restoration certainly matches the early nineteenth century with uncanny accuracy. Finally, we should note that while a given interpretation of scripture may bless a particular generation, it may not so serve a future one. Thus, we must not tether scriptural interpretation too tightly to the times but must remain responsive to the ongoing influence of continuing revelation. By so doing we will continue to view the Book of Mormon as the “most correct” book on earth and our greatest guide to drawing near to God.

At a glance:
Made for independent tots. These super soft, absorbent pull up pants with anti-leak leg cuffs, to help toddlers adapt to life without nappies. These pull up nappy pants are designed with easy on and off soft tear-away sides, a super absorbent core to keep your toddler dry and leg cuffs to help prevent leaks - all to help your growing tot through potty training.
Would you recommend this to other mums?
Gemma: I would recommend this product to a friend or fellow mum. The nappies were really reasonably priced, which is important when you are using a lot of nappies. They were easy to use and my son seemed comfortable wearing them. They also gave a nice slim fit under his clothes, even when he had been wearing them for a few hours. They served us well during the day and overnight. I find some disposable nappies have quite a chemical smell, but I didn't find that with these, even after a whole night.
Clare: Yes I would recommend this product. We did not have any leaks or accidents which is amazing, particularly at night when the nappy is worn for longer periods of time. From a hygiene and convenience perspective, this nappy is really good. It is reasonably priced compared to some other brands. The design and the ease of use are very similar to other nappies I have used.
Rebecca: I would defiantly recommend these to my friends. I have told everyone about these nutmeg nappies - how absorbent they are, how well they fit and especially the price of them. Around the legs of the nappies are very stretchy to catch any little leaks. The design on these nappies is very bright and colourful. You can always make a conversation up and talk about the pictures.
How did this product make your life easier?
Natalie: I would not usually choose Morrisons products so when they arrived I was slightly apprehensive. As soon as I opened the pack and felt the nappy I was shocked at how soft they were. They seemed very similar to more expensive brands but at a fraction of the cost. Some of the cheaper brands have been a pain to use as we’ve woken up with leaks after a full nights sleep. With Morrison’s nappies, we certainly didn’t have that problem! I was really pleased with them.
Lindsey: The Morrisons Ultra Dry nappy exceeded my expectations. I didn’t think that the absorbency of another brand would match that of my normal ‘premium’ brand. They last well through both the day and the night and I haven’t experienced any leaks. My daughter has sensitive skin but hasn’t had any rashes from these nappies. The tabs secure well and do not tear.
Gayane: I've never considered Morrisons as a nappy brand but now I DO. What a pleasant surprise! I have tried many nappies and all of them have a few issues. Nutmeg is a really good quality nappy. It's soft, comfortable, easy to put on and NEVER leaks. I'm 100% happy and will switch.
Would you choose this product to win?
Louise: I would choose this nappy above others based on the fit. Both my girls have very ample bottoms and chunky legs making some nappies not fit correctly. However, these fit them both perfectly. Based on that I do believe this nappy brand should win. I like this brand as both my toilet training two-year-old and my chunky seven-month-old can wear these. I don't have to search the aisles for different nappies, I pick up two packs of exactly the same thing and they work perfectly for both of my girls.
Bekki: The nappies are attractive and seemed to fit well. The fit is what stands out compared to previous nappies we have used. They can be worn for longer periods of time without leakage, including through the night and remain well fitted during active play. They are very good value for money.
Jessica: I would definitely buy them again. If I was in Morrisons and needed more nappies I would definitely consider buying these again and would be interested in trying their version of pull up nappies. My little boy is not a fan of lying down for too long now and so the pull up nappies are easier to use on him.
What changes would you make to this product?
Gemma: There is not much to change about this nappy. It is well designed and I was very happy with it. However, if I could make it biodegradable I would feel much more comfortable using it. I appreciate hardly any disposable nappies are biodegradable, but someone has to lead the way. I miss the wetness indicator at the front of the nappy. This brand features this in the smallest sizes and I still find it useful to have that, even at my son's age.
Rebecca: ith these nappies there are two things I would change. The first thing is the back of the nappy has no elastic which may restrict your baby's movement. I would also add a wetness indicator as that makes it easier to quickly check them.
Gayane: The only thing I would change is a wet/dirty nappy indicator. I did not realise there was something changing to show this so it needs to be clearer. | <urn:uuid:40ee455a-7433-4762-98a9-6232a5a8e891> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.motherandbaby.co.uk/reviews-and-shop/toiletries/disposable-nappies/morrisons-nutmeg-ultra-dry-nappy | 2019-02-21T22:21:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247511174.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221213219-20190221235219-00423.warc.gz | en | 0.98393 | 1,150 |

Workshop on Drift and Long-Term Morphosyntactic Change, to be held at the ICHL 2011(Osaka, Japan)
Frequently a language undergoes a set of changes that seem to be related to one another. These may occur together quickly, but, frequently, such changes span hundreds of years. The phenomenon was identified as 'drift' as long ago as 1921 by Edward Sapir, who famously noted that 'language moves down time in a current of its own making. It has drift.' (Sapir 1949 ) The notion of drift is paradoxical since it seems to fly in the face of elementary facts: native speakers have no inbuilt knowledge of the history of their language, and cannot possibly know how to change their language in the direction 'determined' by history.
Explanations for drift, or the more neutral concepts of 'long-term change' or 'long-term development', have a long history in typological approaches focused on limiting the possible pathways between typologically consistent language states (Hawkins 1979, 1990). There has been a resurgence of interest also among formally oriented linguists, with the idea of 'cascading parametric change', embedded within a theory of markedness (Biberauer and Roberts 2008). Other factors that have been suggested as causes of long-term change include markedness, economy and the need to reestablish a synchronically motivated stable system (cf. also markedness, Andersen 1990).
Conveners: Ioanna Sitaridou & David Willis (University of Cambridge)
Call for Papers:
We particularly welcome contributions that address the following issues:
(a) Is drift different from other processes of change, such as analogy, grammaticalisation and/or parametric change? If yes, how?
(b) Is drift the system's reaction to asymmetry?
(c) Can there be short-term drift? Or should drift be viewed as the opposite of 'catastrophic' (parametric) change?
(d) Is the notion of drift compatible only with a deterministic approach to language change?
(e) Is drift unidirectional?
(f) How can drift be reconciled with random variability? Can random factors cause drift?
Papers that compare or reconcile different approaches are particularly welcome.

Rosicrucian Writings Online
Questions AnsweredBy THE IMPERATOR
[H. Spencer Lewis]
[From The Mystic Triangle September 1927]
(Important questions may be sent to the Editor of the Triangle and each month a few of them will be submitted to the Imperator for his personal answer. If questions refer to any point in the lecture, please give number of lecture and page. Questions which anticipate points in future lectures will not be answered.)
Q.--I have received a letter from a friend of mine in
A.--This report is typical of what may be received when one asks a stranger to investigate a matter with which they are not familiar. It is true that the new branch in
Q.--I have just read about the new Rosicrucian Manual. I want one by all means and I find that nearly all the members in our Lodge desire one. There are two questions I would like to ask about it. First, is it an absolute necessity to such an extent that one cannot proceed with the work without it? Secondly, is it true that the AMORC was not the first to issue such a manual?
A.--The new Manual is not an absolute necessity to the study of the regular lessons, but it includes matter and helps not in the lectures and which are not a part of our regular work but found to be helpful to all, through the thousands of inquiries sent to us. This Manual, costing just a few cents over two dollars, will save the average member ten or fifteen dollars in books, for we have found that sooner or later the average member is tempted to buy some books in order to secure light on various subjects which become of interest to him while studying. Many of these subjects are covered in the Manual. In answer to your second question will say that AMORC put out a Manual in 1918, which was the first to be issued in this country. It was very small and was practically limited to the officers of our Order. It was soon exhausted and the present one is our second edition, greatly enlarged. There have been some attempts to put so-called Rosicrucian Manuals on the market, but AMORC has issued but two, and these are genuine.
Q.--Have the Rosicrucians ever taken a definite stand in regard to the correctness of the Christian doctrines?
A.--Certainly not. It is not within our province, either as a college of the philosophies and sciences, or as a non-sectarian fraternity, to take any stand in regard to any religious doctrines. The AMORC is not a religious school or a school of religion. That it includes the theological principles in its teachings does not make it a theological seminary. Just what bearing the Christian doctrines can have upon the subjects we teach we cannot see. We have as many devout Christians in our membership--even as officers--as we have persons of all the other religious denominations combined. We have a very high regard for the Christian church and the Christian doctrines.
Q.--What do you think of the claim made by some former Christian Science leaders that Mary Baker Eddy will return to life?
A.--Since we are convinced of the truthfulness of the fundamental doctrines of reincarnation--which are not contrary to any of the religious doctrines of the various churches--we are convinced that Mrs. Eddy will return to earth again and live again in a body. Whether she will continue the great work she started, or take up a newer and higher line of humanitarian activity, we cannot tell--nor can any of the other humans now living on this plane. At any rate, her future coming is nothing for the self-appointed apostles of the future to build upon for their own aggrandizement.
Q.--My little girl does not like to say the prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep," and takes special objection to the words, "if I should die," because she has heard us say that there is no death. Can you give us another short prayer for children to say at night?
A.--Yes, there is a typical Rosicrucian prayer for children to say at night, as follows:
"Now I close my eyes in Peace
With this thought my troubles cease!
As I rest in sleep Profound,
With my heart to God close-bound,
I will know no sin or pain
And hope for morning's life again.
Bless thy children here on earth,
And fill them all with joyous mirth.
Bless our parents, too, dear God,
While they guard and sweetly nod.
All the world is good and right,
Guided by Thy Loving Sight.--Amen."
Q.--Lecture No. 6 of my Grade has proven to be a valuable lecture indeed. By way of recapitulation we have brought before us the salient features of the work thus far in the Third Grade. I note in paragraph four, of page one, another reference to the doctrine of reincarnation. I feel, somehow, that this doctrine is a very satisfying one indeed. I enjoyed the articles on Reincarnation in the Mystic Triangle. It is a doctrine that, as I learn more about it, I would like to introduce from my pulpit. I have discussed it with a number of our clergy and the consensus of opinion is that it is lacking in Biblical support. I would like to know if, in your opinion, the authors of Matthew 17:10-13 and Mark 9:11-13 inclusive had such a doctrine in mind and if it was taught by the Master Jesus.
A.--The doctrine of reincarnation is today the oldest and most universal of all religious doctrines and is held by more persons and found in more religions than any one other doctrine. In fact, while only 34% of the people of the world are Christians, and less than 60% of the people of the world adhere to any strict religious principles, fully 75% of the people of the world adhere to the doctrine of reincarnation, either as an ethical principle (in which form it existed for many centuries) or as a fundamental of all religious doctrines. As for Biblical support, there is one question asked by Jesus of His Disciples: "Whom do they say I am?" The question and the answers given cannot possibly refer to anything other than the popular belief that every great Son of God or Messenger must have lived before and, as some other personality, once before appeared to man and did God's work. Jesus wanted to know with whom, in the popular mind, He was associated; which one of the previous Messengers of God the people believed Him to be. There can be no other interpretation to His question, and it plainly indicates His knowledge of the principles of reincarnation, His knowledge of the people's belief, and the importance of the matter. That more references do not appear in the King James version of the Bible becomes understandable as one studies the many passages which have been deleted. The doctrine of reincarnation would have been an "inconvenience" in the early days of the church, but would now prove to be its greatest aid. Many clergymen have adopted some of the reincarnation principles in their sermons and the writer has spoken on the subject on a Sunday night in one of the largest Episcopal churches in
Q.--I would like to know more about the Great Pyramid; who built it, why and when, and the secrets it contains. I have a very intellectual friend, a Pastor of the
A.--If the Pastor said he knew, we have no reason to question his statement, for it is possible to know of past incarnations, as thousands of our members do know. Many have journeyed abroad to find verification and have gone to the old cities, towns and hamlets where they had once lived, and even to the tombstones of those with whom they had been familiar in the past. So your Pastor may have been an Egyptian scholar at some time in the past and, as such, assisted others in exploring the great stone at the top wherein was contained a chest of records. We cannot, however, at this time give you all the facts you ask for in connection with the Great Pyramid, for that would require several whole issues of this magazine. Our lectures contain some facts and some day we will publish some articles about the Pyramid. You seem to be a little surprised that a Baptist minister should be interested in the doctrines of reincarnation. It is a fact that more orthodox clergymen accept reincarnation today than is known--and many of them freely touch upon it--when their congregations do not object. As soon as a clergyman finds that his congregation is not biased about the matter he is generally very happy to be able to speak what he knows. Do not blame the clergyman for holding back many truths; it is not due to ignorance or bias on their part, but to the intolerant and biased attitude of those sitting on the first rows and singing God's praises the loudest.
Q.--When can we expect to see published in the Triangle the address made by the Master K. H. at the International Rosicrucian Congress in
A.--We have hesitated to print this address because we find that some other occult organization has been copying and using matter regarding this Convention, taking extracts from the Triangle and attempting to give the impression of some connection with the Convention. The address is too important to be mutilated by deletions and additions so as to make it fit some other purposes. For these reasons we have withheld it for a while.
Q.--What percentage does heredity count in the life of a human being?
A.--We are prone to think of heredity as pertaining to the physical part of man solely. We inherit certain tendencies through blood, it is true, but we also inherit certain other tendencies through the soul consciousness or psychic consciousness. If we unite these two forms of heredity, I would say that heredity affects us largely in youth--perhaps to the extent of 75%--and environment and education 25%. Later in life, unless trained to give heed to the dictates and urges of the soul and psychic consciousness, the very reverse is true.

Tragedies that seared back into memory following the death of at least 230 on Sunday at the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria, Brazil, preventable tragedies that could have been mitigated or stopped altogether by adherence to fire safety laws.
Joining us now from member station WEAA in Baltimore is Raymond O'Brocki, assistant chief of administration for the Baltimore Fire Department. Until just a couple of weeks ago, Chief O'Brocki served as Baltimore's fire marshal. Good to have you with us today.
RAYMOND O'BROCKI: Thank you, Neal. Good afternoon.
CONAN: And when you hear about terrible fires like that one in Brazil, I wonder what goes through your mind.
O'BROCKI: I think back to exactly the fires that you talked about: the Coconut Grove, Happy Land social club in the Bronx in the '90s, the Station, you mentioned, and even the Iroquois Theater fire back in Chicago in 1903. They're such recurring themes over and over and over again with these fires; lack of egress, overcrowding, combustible wall coverings, a lack of a notification, a crowd that doesn't know where the exits are, exits that are locked and blocked.
This is a recurring theme. And that you - people just don't expect that it's going to happen to them, so their reaction time is very much slowed down. These are the thoughts that come immediately to me that codes aren't the problem. Code enforcement is the problem.
CONAN: And I think of - obviously, every town has places that are well-established and that obey all the rules and have all the sprinklers and all the exits. But new music and new entrepreneurs always are setting up in, you know, warehouse districts, in places that never had clubs before.
O'BROCKI: Oh, that is certainly the sort of the profile of the most of the code offenders. It's the economic modals. They're not doing this because they're mean. They're doing it because they're trying to make a buck and they're being a little irresponsible. Overcrowding is probably the biggest factor, the one we find most often.
One big problem in Baltimore city has been these after-hour clubs that don't have liquor license that fly under the radar, the bottle clubs, they call them, where people come in - and usually when we find underage - I mean, we find overcrowding, that's usually coupled with underage drinking. That's why we've linked arms with the liquor board in Baltimore city because when somebody has an economic mode of not to follow the fire code, they usually don't follow the liquor laws as well.
CONAN: We're talking with Raymond O'Brocki in Baltimore, the former fire marshal there. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
And that economic incentive it is, you say, you know, really hard to say, I'm sorry, you, 50 people outside who are waving dollars in my face and want to come in, you can't come in.
O'BROCKI: Yes. That's why we do spot checks. Lot of cities have inspectors that are 9 to 5 business hours guys, and we used to be that way. And we just ran complaints - you know, the spot checks were basically complaint-driven. When we started to do spot checks and we reworked inspector schedules so they would be on the weekends and at night.
And we also - we bolster up our forces on days we know the clubs are historically crowded. The day before Thanksgiving is one of those sort of unwritten or unknown-about days where clubs are packed, that most people wouldn't think. Obviously, New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day, Super Bowl Sunday. So these are days we know they're going to be packed.
We also try to get out in the community, work with the businesses as business partners. And many times, we'll have club owners, responsible club owners tell us about irresponsible club owners. And another factor with The Station and with the fire in Santa Maria was the introduction of pyrotechnics into an enclosed space. Probably wasn't permitted, it wasn't authorized. And then you couple that with the combustible decorations and furnitures. This is what happened to Cocoanut Grove in 1942, not the pyrotechnic part but the flammable interior wall coverings. In that one, it was supposed that a busboy, trying to change a light bulb, held a - it was dimly-lit club as well. And that's another factor with many of these - held a lighter...
CONAN: It was speakeasy. Yeah.
O'BROCKI: Yeah. And held a lighter up to change a light bulb and then caught this sort of - the Cocoanut Grove, as you can imagine, had an island theme to it - and caught palm trees and this really dry and flammable wall covering on fire. That's why we have standards about what you can and can't put in a club nowadays.
And nowadays, with the bottle clubs and the night clubs, there is this move to put sofas in the clubs, which I haven't seen but - in the last couple years. And we make them show a fire rating for that so if, well, many of them don't have it but there are chemicals that you can treat of this with. And then we make them display the chemicals and it shows a log of when they apply it and when they reapply it.
CONAN: You talked about the Cocoanut Grove and overcrowding. The number killed in that fire exceeded the number allowed into the club and hundreds of others were injured. But this recur, as you say, and we learned the lessons in Rhode Island before The Station fire. The inspector failed to notice the foam that was being used for insulation was flammable and, well, they now have one of toughest sets of regulations in the country.
O'BROCKI: Yeah. We had - we've had problems. You know, there is always this tension as the fire marshal between allowing, you know, people to operate their business the way they want to. And also not just that, but free expression. I had a go-around with a young lady who wanted fire dancing in this club. And I just - we simply do not allow pyrotechnics and/or this fire dancing-type of deals. And she was pretty adamant about her First Amendment right to free expression, and I fully support that. But there is a time, manner and place for things that we can put on that.
CONAN: And how - what kind of pushback do you get when you say I'm sorry? You need to put sprinkler system. You need to have three more exits. This costs a lot of money.
O'BROCKI: Well, usually the pushback is in the planning stages, and that's where it has to start, in plans review. We have a pretty solid relationship with our housing and building departments, liquor licensing. So before these clubs can even open, they have to go though this process, and that's where we get the, you know, the economic argument.
And I always say that, you know, you wouldn't open a restaurant unless you considered the price of a stove to put in that restaurant. Then, you know, if you're going to open in my club - and ever year the threshold for sprinkler systems gets more restrictive. It was 250, occupancy of 250. Now, it's 100. I foresee a time in the future when you open any public assembly - which is public assembly is any place that holds more than 50 people for entertainment purposes - that you're going to have sprinkler it.
So business planners, business - prospective business owners need to factor in sprinkler systems into the price of doing business. And it is beneficial in the long run. And most responsible business people understand that that is for the end game, the long run, it is in their best interests. It's sort of the short-term guys, the new folks that come in to this world...
CONAN: Excuse me, Chief. I just want - we just have a few seconds left and I want to give Suzanne just a moment to get on the air. Suzanne is with us from Carson City.
SUZANNE: Hello. My name is Suzanne. I'm from Carson City, Nevada. I am the mother of the one the victims of The Station Fire in Rhode Island 10 years ago. And I tried here in Nevada to get one of my legislators, a local representative, to change the fire code here because we had had a fire at a residence hotel, which killed six or eight people. And nothing could be done because nobody wants to spend the money.
CONAN: Well, it is sad that maybe another tragedy will have to occur before people tighten the regulations there in Nevada. Thank you very much, Suzanne, for the call. And we're sorry that - well, again, this all may have come back to you with that news of that fire in Brazil.
SUZANNE: Thank you very much.
CONAN: Appreciate it. And, Chief O'Brocki, thank you very much for your time.
O'BROCKI: Thank you, Neal.
CONAN: That is Raymond O'Brocki, who served as assistant fire chief of administration for the Baltimore Fire Department and fire marshal till earlier this month, with us from WEAA in Baltimore. This is the TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. I'm Neal Conan in Washington.

Everybody makes mistakes. We’ve all had those moments in life when we wish could just put the clock back, get a grip on ourselves, and change things ever so slightly so we don’t end up with the proverbial egg all over our proverbial face. But in competitive motocross, the stakes are just that little bit higher. Australia’s Meghan Rutledge found this out to her cost at the X Games LA 2013.
Commentators, spectators and riders alike knew that Rutledge was the one to beat. Although only 18 years of age, she had competed in a similar tournament in her home country against the under-19 men, and at the X Games LA 2012 was able to finish in fourth place despite a broken wrist. Impressive stuff, and from the off Rutledge maintained a comfortable lead ahead of her competitors. In fact until the final lap it appeared as if the fiercest competition would be for the silver medal, as Italian first-timer Kiara Fontanesi and Jessica Patterson of the USA both made American Vicki Golden work hard for her position in second place.
But an ill advised mid-air fist-pump from Rutledge as she flew over the final steel ramp changed everything. Unable to steady herself as her bike began to nosedive, and with her hand too far from the throttle to power back onto the course once she hit the dirt, she was left dumbfounded as Golden steadily passed her by to take victory in the final seconds. As they say in motocross, ouch! It’s all captured in excruciating detail here, so have a look if you enjoy a side portion of schadenfreude with your electrifying motocross action. | <urn:uuid:cb54e445-172e-48a5-a49c-c1c00a4b5255> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://mpora.com/motocross/x-games-la-2013-womens-moto-x-racing-final/ | 2021-12-02T00:26:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361064.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201234046-20211202024046-00120.warc.gz | en | 0.9724 | 350 |

Ever wondered how an exhibit is put together? Josephine Butcher, a National Trust volunteer, shares her experience of being involved in the careful preparation of a special 19th century display at Grossman & Brough House.
Two beautiful and rare garments from the Grossmann House collection are now on display in the Textile Room — a man’s banyan house coat, c1840, and a wedding dress, c1858, worn by Emma Maria Stack in Calcutta — belie the creative work behind the scenes that ensure the mannequins portray the details about the garments’ style, shape and history and bring to life the physiques of the people who would have worn them over 180 years ago.
I was fortunate indeed to witness, and in some small way assist, the work of Lindie Ward, who travelled from Sydney with Rebecca Pinchin, the National Trust (NSW) collection manager, and Yulia Belan, a collection volunteer, to dress and display the garments. Lindie, formerly the textile curator at the Powerhouse Museum, a superb professional artist, now retired. She created the polyethylene wire mesh flexible mannequins used in the Textile Room. Clothing is usually adjusted to match the mannequin’s lines, but here it was the reverse with the mannequins manipulated to fit the smaller 19th century garments.
Once the garments were taken from the storage boxes and unwrapped from the acid-free tissue paper, various measurements were taken of the garments, the height of the stand was adjusted and the mannequin was attached to the rod with cable ties. The wire mesh frames were first covered with protective layers of acid-free tissue paper and soft polyester wadding, then cotton material was stitched over the shoulders, then came jersey material fashioned to drape the mannequins, which had been skilfully made by Ruth Edwards, sister of the Friends of Grossmann House collection coordinator, Lynn Morris. All these layers are required, not only to protect the garments from the wire mesh frames, but also to soften the look. The draped material is cinched at the waist with cotton tape for shaping.
The magic begins
These precious garments were reverentially carried from the collection storage room to the Textile Room for dressing. Lindie travels with a sewing box of assorted items including tools and cottons for stitching and adjustments to the undergarments. Pins are not allowed near the rare garments.
The male mannequin was dressed in a black jersey undergarment, hand-stitch-hemmed to the required length, and only then was the banyan coat placed on the mannequin. Lindie explained that the banyan, or ‘ten shilling’ dressing gown in this case, was styled after garments worn by Indian revenue officers who conducted business under banyan trees. The banyan coat is made of sturdy Indian cotton gingham and is very rare, as the common ones are not, as a rule, kept and collected – more often it is the rich brocades and satins that are preserved.
‘Socks’ of polyester wadding were inserted into the arms of the coat and more wadding used to fill the chest area. Lindie made adjustments by either squeezing or expanding the wire frame to the shape of the garment and a cotton ‘hook and eye’ sewn to fasten the front sides together, so that eventually it fell elegantly on the mannequin and the garment was once more given a life. Next, we found items from the collection to complement the display. These included a small elegant table, an inkstand with a feather pen (even the colour of the feather in the pen had to be decided upon!), and a 19th century original invoice used in Grossmann House. The gentleman’s display was complete!
The perfect fit
Attention then turned to Emma’s wedding dress — a beautiful and exquisite gown and a contrast to the more homely banyan coat. Excitement buzzed around the room. Lynn brought in a cotton under-petticoat and several gathered stiff tulle petticoats — these creating volume to give shape to the gown — which were tied in place onto the mannequin. Lindie, aided by Rebecca, carefully draped the gown over the mannequin.
Originating in India, the white gown is of fine hand-sewn muslin, decorated extensively with skilled white embroidery. It has a gathered bodice on a classic medium scooped neckline.
Lindie noted that the bodice had been altered as it originally would have extended to a point at the front of the waistline. The waist is also gathered to fall into a full skirt highlighting the embroidery work. Hooks and eyes are used to fasten down the bodice back. The dress has short sleeves of plain muslin.
Lindie’s professional eye was not quite satisfied as she viewed the model. She spied some black material and, to my amazement (watch and learn!), she skilfully used a lacquered chopstick from her sewing kit to tuck it into the gown and over the white under-fabric round the neckline. The resulting black décolletage against the white purity of the wedding dress’s neckline was dramatic and oh so stylish.
Further adjustments were required in the skirt as an extra piece of tulle was sewn onto the petticoat waist to balance the fullness. My comment as to the model’s lack of a bustline was soon remedied by Lindie with a little careful moulding of wadding giving further accents to the very slim waistline. A matching shawl of the same fabric and embroidery was gracefully draped over the shoulders to cascade down the back and sides to further complement and enhance the spectacular garment.
The finishing touches
To accompany this display Lynn drew on her extensive knowledge of the Grossmann collection to suggest many accessories for Lindie’s professional appraisal. After considerable discussion the final selection consisted of wedding accessories from many eras, the white kid shoes (c1830-40), a floral head garland of wax and silk flowers (c1890), kid gloves (c1910) and an exquisite silk handkerchief with Maltese bobbin lace border (c1880).
I was truly humbled and overjoyed to witness the professional artistry, craft and passion Lindie employed in dressing these two garments. After many, many hours’ work the human being inside the garments once more came to life. May I recommend readers come and view these wonderful rare garments and pause awhile to contemplate the workmanship involved in their presentation.

Doing makeup for shows can be very intimidating, especially if you are new to doing make up, but it doesn’t have to be. I have put together a video of my basic makeup look that is very versatile and can be used with many different colors as well as gives the ability to get creative with your color combinations. For my basic gradient look I usually use a black shadow, white shadow and 3 different shades of a color.
There are lots of things to consider when choosing the right costume. It’s even more complicated when you have to come up with something that works for an entire group.
What is the style of dance?
How will the different styles/silhouettes look on the different body types within the troupe?
What is the budget of the troupe and each of the members?
Do you want eclectic or matchy-matchy?
These are just a few questions that will come up.
Why do we enjoy movement arts? There are so many answers to this questions and every person you ask will answer with something different. There may be trends and similar reasons but for the most part people will have unique answers. This is one of the many reasons I love movement arts! It evokes passion in people in an infinite amount of ways.

Partial explanations are everywhere. That is, explanations citing causes that explain some but not all of an effect are ubiquitous across science, and these in turn rely on the notion of degree of explanation. I argue that current accounts are seriously deficient. In particular, they do not incorporate adequately the way in which a cause’s explanatory importance varies with choice of explanandum. Using influential recent contrastive theories, I develop quantitative definitions that remedy this lacuna, and relate it to existing measures of degree of causation. Among other things, this reveals the precise role here of chance, as well as bearing on the relation between causal explanation and causation itself.

Design and Styling
The Cyan stylists researched the initial look and feel – creating detailed style boards and design proposals for the clients approval. The designs were developed to present the bathroom products in contemporary room sets that reflected the quality of the products and the company’s brand phiolosophy.
As this set of images were to be produced exclusively using CGI technologies there was no forward planning needed for logistics, purchasing of props or physically setting up the shots, equipment, lighting etc. Individual product elements, props and walls and floors were created by referencing the product designs and specifications, using CGI wire frames and modelling followed by some post production on the renders.
The resulting images are photo realistic interpretations of the actual products that are visually and technically correct. Complemented by the imaginative room sets, the project was a complete success. Hudson Reed are very happy with the results and will be coming back for more CGI wizardry! | <urn:uuid:4da08e93-a680-4676-bf84-a523af8804aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cyanstudios.co.uk/cgi-bathroom-room-sets-hudson-reed/ | 2022-08-14T19:42:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00177.warc.gz | en | 0.956119 | 186 |
I’ve been busy this past few days with new mirrors, and here are the fruits of my labours. Mariposa
is the Spanish word for butterfly and I thought it made a nice motif and name for this lady. As with Morwenna
, this “magic mirror” is roughly 25 centimeters square (that’s ten inches, Americans) and made of wood with a small mirror in the centre. One of the joys of working with wooden surfaces is the way you can scumble layers of paint over the grain, and every time a new layer goes on, a bit of the previous colour shows through. I start with a dark base coat (in this case Prussian blue) and work lighter and lighter layers on top. The last stage is working gold wax gilt into the surface, giving the whole thing a rich glow, which I am sure this photo does not represent well. | <urn:uuid:b770fb3e-66f4-42b4-8728-f084450f3cb4> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.teresaflavin.com/what-im-working-on-now-2/ | 2019-05-20T14:40:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256040.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520142005-20190520164005-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.938411 | 187 |

Demographic Variables and Ownership of Motor Car
G.Suryanarayana Reddy and P.Govinda Reddy
Management Matters, Volume 1, Number 2, March 2001
The aim of this research work is to investigate if demographic variables such as family income, occupation of father, occupation of mother, religious affiliation and food habits affect in any significant way the ownership of motor car.
We sampled 300 students pursuing M.B.A. programmes in different colleges affiliated to Madras University for data collection. A questionnaire was developed and data were collected from these students by administering questionnaire to them.
Ownership of motor car is most affected by family income. People with family income equal to or greater than five lakh rupees consider motor car as a status symbol. It is necessary for them to maintain class affiliation with their own group and class differentiation with lower income groups. Among the religious groups, Christians seem to be fond of owning motor cars. There is something in the sub-culture of Christians that goads them to own motor cars, which is missing in other religious sub-cultures. Next dominant demographic response that affects ownership of cars is occupation of father as professionals or businessmen. People with these two occupations are more prone to own motor cars, than people with service as occupation. Also, our results point out that people with omnivorous food habits are more likely to buy cars than people with pure vegetarian food habits. | <urn:uuid:d5a1c805-88d4-49d1-af73-08ed3197bb4f> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://anthropology-updates.blogspot.in/ | 2016-08-31T23:24:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982954852.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200914-00030-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964598 | 290 |
