en | N/A | N/A | it's a match made in heaven!i strongly encourage anyone who loves blonde redhead and mike mills to check this out. it promises to be amazing!
i know there may be someone out there that cherishes this book as much as i. off and on, since i was a kid, i have thought about this story. i had read it when i was very young and every now and then it surfaces in my mind, just like its enigmatic main character. i always wondered if i would ever come across it again.i purchased it at this online used bookstore called abe booksthe story is about a lonely french boy named pascal, who befriends a red balloon as his companion for the day. the adventure follows as the two float through the old streets of france, the marketplace, the boy's school and among his friends there. i remember there being a horribly sad but beautiful tone to the whole thing.the film version has no dialogue just amazing lo-fi music playing in the background.spoiler alert: the balloon ends up flying high over the parisian rooftops and away from the heartbroken pascal and he is again alone in the big city. sad...come to find it was written by albert lamorisse, a french filmmaker who made it into a short. the film won the grand prix at the cannes film festival in 1956 as well as an oscar the following year. pascal, i believe, is his son.un tehran in the '70s, while filming what would be his last contribution to the film world, le vent des amoureux (the lovers' wind). other titles of his films include: voyage en balloon, fifi la plume, and crin blanc.albert apparently has a fascination with all things aviary. it's tragic that he died flying but maybe meant to be(?
i found this amazing website of polaroids from all over the world called polanoid.net. it reminds me of a time when i was about four or so. and my dad's friend was sleeping on the couch. my parents were still together. i remember it like yesterday or maybe even a couple days before that sometimes, when i'm not so awake. he worked the graveyard shift.i found a polaroid on the coffee table. it was some time in the '70s. if i told you my exact age, maybe you wouldn't be interested in this story any more. so we'll just say "sometime" in the '70s so i can remain a mystery. isn't that the way it works?is that why people never like to tell each other their real age?i wanted him to see the picture. i woke him up. he was wearing a white t-shirt. i pushed the picture up into his face and i said, "look!" that's when i learned the concept of focus. i put it too close to his face.he said, "i can't see what it is. you are holding it too close to my face!" he was mad. i was hurt because how was i to know that it is so hard for people to see things when they are right in front of their face?
just like juliana hatfield used to say, it is dangerous to idolize anyone. in fact, anything for that matter. but as long as we know this, does it make it ok for me to be obsessed with electrelane?
this is a blog for you and me.welcome to my attempt to document these times - an archive of past and present music, art, gossip, literature, magazines, zines, culture, my life, your life, our life, and anything else that sits in this space i call my mind, which is more like a place where things get lost, forgotten, and purposefully and unintentionally ignored all at the same time. basically, this will serve as an extension of my memory...at last.thank you for listening and i look forward to both amusing and annoying you. i promise i will try not to be as irritating as i know i am capable of being and show you good things you will like and probably dislike, too.i hope to impress you or make you not like me... |

Share the post "W" </s> Tuaca, the niche spirit that has become one of the most popular drinks in Brighton, has been relaunched a year after US-based distributor Sazerac purchased it.
The 35% abv brandy-based spirit hails from Italy and was apparently created for Lorenzo the Magnificent, who ruled the Florentine Republic in the 15th century.
Gaetano Tuoni and Giorgio Canepa gave it a proper launch it in the 1930s and got their portmanteau on to give the drink its modern name.
It was discovered by US troops stationed in Livoro during World War II and it began to be imported back to the States after that.
When he got back to Brighton, Jensen tracked down the family distillery in Tuscany distillery, which was run by Enrico Tuoni, a descendent of founder Gaetano.
His mother was fluent in Italian so he put her on the phone and a couple of cases were flown over for a cost of £466.
Berry and Jensen soon took over the St James Tavern in Brighton and it quickly became their bestselling drink. They wholesaled it to various bars across Brighton and it has gone on to become a cult drink in the seaside city, with celebrity fans including Fat Boy Slim.
In March 2016 Brown-Forman sold Southern Comfort to Sazerac, and Tuaca was thrown into the deal. So now the challenge falls to Sazerac – which counts Buffalo Trace and Fireball among its brands – to roll Tuaca out nationwide, and make all of Britain as ‘twackered’ as Brighton.
The liquid has been tweaked, but it is still infused with citrus and vanilla. Sazerac said the taste ‘delivers notes of buttery caramel, citrus, dried fig, and honey, with a medium body and a long, warm finish’. It believes Tuaca is best served as an ice cold shot, but its versatility also makes it ideal for a range of mixed drinks. </s> .
The industrial revolution acted as a catalyst for the creation of cities. Large urban areas became economic powerhouses.
Slowly but surely, the internet is chipping away at the mantra of centralization and bigger is better. Small really is the New Big.
The impact of online technology on the financial services industry shows the extent of change. Hardly any bank customer visits a bricks and mortar bank branch for executing daily transactions. Bank transfers, deposits, withdrawals and all manner of services are conducted at convenient locations through ATM machines. Can bank branch?
Several decades ago the securities markets were the preserve of a few well heeled and connected investors. Today, anyone with a laptop can effectively manage a hedge fund out of their living room.. </s> Then my infertility reminded me that there's no way I can be that much of a contributing member of society.
Monday morning's clinic visit revealed that my ovaries decided to stop by the site of an experimental gamma bomb testing sometime earlier in the week without my knowing. In spite of a relatively low dose of follistim this cycle, those little suckers decided to pop out ELEVEN follicles this month.
And they offered us a IVF conversion. |

My uncle was a wood turner and I helped sell his wooden clocks and ornaments. It was a great job and I met so many interesting characters!
I worked at Midland Bank (now HSBC) for 31 years straight from school. You name the department - I’ve probably worked there! Following redundancy, I wanted to stay in finance but work somewhere smaller – less corporate. So jumped at the chance of joining Ginkgo.
Like most people, I want to live in a nice house, knowing that my children are happy and secure.
My absolute dream is to be able to spend time just sitting with elderly people chatting to them. My dad spent time in a care home and I saw first-hand the difference having chatty people around can make to residents.
I actually did ask a group of my friends! And the 4 words that popped up a lot were loyal, positive, supportive and kind. I couldn’t pick which one not to mention so can I have all four?
Definitely to have more confidence in your own ability and to give yourself more credit.
I love the family feel at Ginkgo. Everyone here really does care about the clients and the rest of the team. Everyone has been so welcoming and caring, I couldn’t ask for a more supportive team! |
en | N/A | N/A | Over the past couple of weeks, the new coronavirus strain known as "Super COVID" has been racing through the UK and making headlines all over the globe, but scientists insist that the new mutant COVID strain in South Africa is potentially much more dangerous.
Just like "Super COVID" in the UK, there is evidence that the South African strain spreads faster, and South Africa's health minister has warned that there is "anecdotal evidence" of a. But the biggest reason why health authorities are so concerned about this particular strain is because it has mutated so dramatically that the current vaccines that have been developed may not work against it. The following comes from a Reuters article entitled "U.African coronavirus variant"…
At this moment, we do not know if the current vaccines will be rendered useless by this new mutant strain or not.

en | N/A | N/A | Who would have thought one year ago that the election for president this year would be between John McCain and Barack Obama? During the primaries only Gov. Mike Huckabee seemed to reach out to the conservative Christian base, which was slow to support “one of our own”–a man who heartily agrees with the biblical positions on life and marriage I’ve discussed here many times. Though Huckabee got further than anyone thought, it was clear by March that McCain would be the Republican choice. Because he’s strongly pro-life, supports traditional marriage and strongly supports Israel, I was relieved.
It took a few months for Obama to keep Hillary Clinton from getting from what she and the pundits felt was hers for the asking–the Democratic presidential nomination. Then something astounding happened–Obama began reaching out to the Christian community by emphasizing his own faith in Christ on his Web site, saying he wanted people of faith to be a part of the political process and inviting 43 Christian leaders to meet with him in early June in Chicago.
I was surprised to be invited to the meeting and attended out of curiosity. As I’ve reported in two Strang Report blogs, the gathering was polite and Obama came across as sincere. I asked the only question about abortion, and his answer was pretty standard for a Democrat–he doesn’t like abortion, but a woman should have the right to decide, and it’s better for the procedure to be legal than for women to be forced to get so-called back-alley abortions.
He talked about the need to prevent unwanted pregnancies and to take care of the children after they’re born–nothing I could disagree with. But it is obvious he isn’t going to change his view, and if he is elected, when it is time for him to appoint justices to the Supreme Court, he will choose those who will work to keep abortion legal.
The Christian leaders in the room were mostly from more liberal denominations or were “moderate” evangelicals for whom the environment and other issues are as important as the “litmus-test” issues for which the religious right has become known.
In contrast to Obama, McCain seems to have distanced himself from conservative Christians. In a knee-jerk reaction to some media criticism, he rejected endorsements from John Hagee and Rod Parsley–a big mistake, in my opinion. I’ll let you know if I get an interview with him. Obama has already agreed to an interview with Charisma.
One African-American leader phoned me to complain that in my Strang Report on the Obama meeting, I said a Christian couldn’t vote for Obama because of the pro-life issue. I didn’t say that. But he said I should understand that blacks vote Democratic because they believe Democrats are more concerned about social justice and problems in the black community.
Another African-American leader at the Obama meeting rattled off a list of things Christians shouldn’t like about McCain, including the fact that he’s been known to swear in public and left his first wife to marry a younger woman. Also, McCain apparently is not comfortable talking about his religious faith.
This leader challenged us about the inconsistency of being pro-life yet supporting the Iraq war. He seemed to be asking, “If Christians can vote for a flawed candidate like McCain, what is wrong with voting for someone such as Obama?”–who supports what the Democratic party has supported for a long time: abortion rights and, more recently, civil unions for gays and lesbians.
Personally I feel it’s time America elected a black president. On a personal level, I found Obama very likable. I began to understand why some people are enthusiastically behind him.
But for me, the pro-life issue trumps all the other important issues in this election. Though my comments are not an official endorsement of McCain, the facts don’t allow me to vote for anyone other than him.
You can read more about the meeting in Chicago and the strong opinions my remarks elicited by going to obamameeting.charismamag.com. Be sure to sign up to get the Strang Report approximately once a week and add your comments to the blogs.
If reaction to my Strang Reports is any indication, this is going to be a long and divisive election season. |

RAIMUNDO DE MADRAZO
Roma, 1841 – Versailles, 1920
Lady laying in a divan
The year after Raimundo was born, the Madrazo family moved from Rome to Madrid. From his childhood, the painter assiduously attends the famous studies of his grandfather, José de Madrazo and his father Federico de Madrazo - whom he would always consider as his best teacher[1] -. Protected by his illustrious last name, but also by his undeniable talent, he soon joined the Higher School of Painting and Sculpture in Madrid.
In 1855 he travelled to Paris - accompanied by his father - to visit the Universal Exhibition, where he experienced his first direct contact with international pictorial trends. In addition, take the opportunity to copy the drawings of the windows of the Sainte Chapelle, designed by Ingres. Back in Madrid, he resumed his studies and painted his first painting: The transfer of the remains of the Apostle Santiago, very much in the purist romantic line[2].
Later, in 1862, he settled definitively in Paris. There he studied at. In the capital of art, he befriends other Spaniards such as Joaquín María Herrer and landscape architect Martín Rico, with whom he travels through the main museums; highlighting the Louvre, where he will copy the Venetian masters[3]. As he consolidates his position as a portraitist in Paris, he makes a trip to London where he permeates the English variants of the genre.
In 1865 he returns to Spain and visits Toledo, reaffirming his passion for El Greco, of whom he will make several copies. In the same way, in Madrid by Goya's work, also reproducing some of his works. From the hand of his great friend and brother-in-law Mariano Fortuny he moved to Granada in 1872. A stage of incessant activity for both painters - influencing each other - where we observe a penchant for the landscape in Madrazo's work, whose refined qualities remind us of those of Fortuny.
The influence of Catalan is prolonged in his later work, with gender compositions influenced by "Japonism"; which he combines with his famous portraits, always personal, that evolve towards an increasingly impressionistic line. Such is the proximity between both painters, that, after the death of Fortuny, Madrazo will be one of the organizers of the sale of his brother-in-law's goods at the Hotel Drouot in Paris in 1875.
1878 will be a year of great recognition for Raimundo de Madrazo, receiving the first medal in the Universal Exhibition of Paris, as well as the badge of the Legion of Honor. Two years later he was appointed corresponding academic in France, and in 1884 he was granted a special room in the Hall, by the French Government.
Cosmopolitan artist, from the last decade of the century travels to the United States and Argentina, where he would achieve great success by portraying the elites. The result of this incessant American activity is his appointment in 1905 as a member of the Hispanic Society of New York, to which he donates an important collection of his works[4].
In the work presented here, we greatly appreciate the enormous refinement that consolidated Raymond of Madrazo as one of the main painters of the "great world" in the Paris of the Belle Epoque. Through the eastern censer of the foreground, we introduce ourselves - as spectators - in an intimate and enveloping scene in which a lady, lying on a couch, watches her dogs at the other end of the composition.
With a very refined technique, it presents great chromatic delicacy, according to the softness of the modeling, as well as the elegance and aristocratism of the protagonist. The diagonal arrangement of the young woman is used intelligently by the painter to recreate plastically in the fall of the folds of the dress, as well as in the sheets of a book of prints that clutter over her.
The preciousness in the tactile qualities of the foregrounds contrast with the sketched character of the background, in which a Japanese print is figurated. A loose execution, a prelude to Impressionism, that characterizes the work of Raimundo de Madrazo as he assimilates the technique of his brother-in-law, Mariano Fortuny - who, in addition, was especially influenced by Japaneseism.
In any case, the Fortuny footprint is also evident in the decorative sense of this interior scene, as well as in its meticulous invoice and in its descriptive character. The result is as anecdotal as it is delicious, capable of satisfying the hedonistic desires of the bourgeois clientele of the end of the century; who demanded these frivolous scenes in order to bring an exotic and luxurious note to their new urban widening apartments.

en | N/A | N/A | The list of information that Amazon is taking from you is shocking, Disclosure.!
Allegedly, Amazon collects personal information of all users and uses it for sales. This was raised by Ibraheem S. Samirah, a Virginia lawmaker and native of Virginia. This information was released during a study on the Internet and privacy issues and how to manage the personal data collection of technology companies. He was stunned when he learned the full details of the information Amazon had gathered from him.
He had over 1,000 contacts on the phone. Growing up as a Muslim, he recorded over the phone exactly what part of the Qur’an he had heard on December 17 last year and bought a book called ‘Progressive Community Organizing’. The company was aware of all the searches he conducted on the platform, including sensitive health inquiries that he considered private.
Ibraheem S. Samirah, was one of the few Virginia lawmakers to oppose the business-friendly, state-privacy bill drafted by Amazon earlier this year. At Reuters’ request, Samirah was asked to disclose data collected from Amazon as a customer. The Company is collecting extensive information about its US customers (Amazon customers in the US).
These data reveal the company’s ability to collect close-up pictures of individual customers. Amazon collects customer data through its Alexa Voice Assistant, e-commerce marketplace, Kindle e-readers, audible audiobooks, video and music platforms, home security cameras and fitness trackers. Alexa devices make recordings in people’s homes, and ring security cameras capture each visitor.
Such information reveals a person’s height, weight, and health. Their racism (through the clues contained in the voice data) and their political leanings; Their reading and buying habits; Amazon collects information about where they were on any given day, and sometimes who they met. A reporter revealed that between December 2017 and June 2021, Amazon cs. The recording even included details such as the reporter’s baby names and their favorite songs.
Amazon caught kids asking how to convince parents to ‘play’ and receivedparents to buy them video games. According to Amazon’s website, Alexa often collects information from more than 180,000 articles using information from a third-party program called ‘WikiHow’, which Alexa uses. But Amazon says they do not have WikiHow, but Alexa sometimes responds to requests from websites.
Some recordings include conversations between family members using tools that Alexa uses to communicate in different parts of the house. Children who apologize to their parents after discipline have copied several recordings. Amazon claims that their Alexa products are designed to start with the trigger word ‘Alexa’ and end when the user’s command ends.
Amazon said in a statement that scientists and engineers are working to improve technology and avoid erroneous triggers that speed up recording. The company said it was warning customers that recordings would be stored when they set up Alexa accounts. Amazon said it collectsices and to customize them for individuals. When asked about the recordings of Sameera Quran listening on Amazon’s audiobook service, Amazon said it allows customers to retrieve such data from where they left off from a previous session.
The only way for customers to delete most of this personal data is to close their account, Amazon said. The company said it still holds certain information, such as the purchase history, even after the account is closed to meet legal obligations. they collect. For example, Alexa users can block Amazon from saving their recordings or delete them automatically from time to time. Additionally, they can disconnect contacts or calendars from their smart speaker devices.

I disagree, The Premiership has only 3 good teams and 17 average teams. Prem teams outside the top 3 always give the ball away. Imo Spain has a better league.
Spain and Italy are stronger but English is the best to watch.
English is the strongest in my opinion, love watching it.
Italian footie is sooooooooooo boooooooooring all the do is keep possession in defense and score from set-pieces! |

We really need a returner.
Might as well let Douglas be the returner. He isn't doing anything at receiver, get some use out of him.
The Falcons have not scored an offensive touchdown, btw.
But don't worry, just have keep feeding Turner for that negative-3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust like Moose said.

LDPPlastics #1, which is normally used for mineral water bottles and soft drink bottles, could be dangerous to use too. These bottles should be recycled after one time use.Plastic bottles with code #1 was built by polymer Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Researchers in Italy found that(2003), water inside the PET bottles will release a chemical called Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) slowly after the bottle is being used for 9 month. DEHP could cause cancer and might have negative effect on male’s testicle. When a male’s body was high in DEHP level, the number of sperm inside will decreased and the it will damage the sperm’s DNA too.
Plastic #2 bottle that is also safe to use , which you can see it on baby’s milk bottles and plastic bags. It can stand the water heat up to 120C.
Plastic bottle #5 is the safest to use, . It can sustained heat up to 135 degree Celsius, so don’t worry to use it to contain hot waters, while #1 PET bottles can’t go further than 70C.
Made with Bis phenol A(many of the feeding bottle companies like Avent faced big issues because of BPA )trogen so its Bad .
Most of the baby feeding bottles are made by Polycarbonate (Plastic #7). So please don't use plastic feeding bottles, use only glass bottles.

Caroline Brooker, Headteacher of North Walsham High School, said: "This email sent to a young girl was repulsive and extremely explicit. The sender seemed to be enticing the girl to respond. If it hadn't been for Securus software, this incident may never have come to our attention. All schools need some form of computer protection – it helps to keep pupils on task, prevents them from accessing harmful material on the internet but most importantly, it protects young people from predators."
Eaton Hall School in Norwich, the only school in Norfolk to cater for students specifically with emotional and behavioural difficulties, was one of the first in the county to trial Securus. Barbara Lawson, Teaching Assistant at Eaton Hall School, comments: "We were finding that there was a growing trait among pupils to deliberately try to outwit the filtering system while knowing they could not generally be caught, nor their actions proven. Since Securus has been running on the system the number of attempts to visit inappropriate sites has been dramatically cut. Pupils now know their computer use is being monitored and that hard copy evidence of their wrongdoing is recorded."
Securus not only picks up the activities of bullies and predators but also helps to identify students who are depressed and may be at risk of harming themselves. Chris Bell, Network Manager at Framingham Earl High School in Norwich, comments: "Unfortunately the Internet makes it all too easy for young children, who may not be fully aware of their actions, to retrieve data of an extreme nature. We discovered that one student had been researching on the web how to slit his wrists. We passed the incident on to our pastoral team and they gave the boy counseling."
Bill Jenkins, Founding Director, Securus Software Ltd, said: "Issues such as cyberbullying, predator grooming and racism in all their insidious forms are a real and growing concern and schools need all the help they can get to control the problem. Schools need to be vigilant about protecting pupils and preventing them from accessing unsuitable material." |

en | N/A | N/A | Well just how much is CRN enjoying engaging in the recruiting front?
I was talking to UCLA football coach Rick Neuheisel last week about recruiting, and what it is like being in Los Angeles. He said one adjustment is always knowing coaches from other staffs are in the area, "You're in a house, and another staff comes in right behind you and they say they slammed you,'' Neuheisel said. "War strategies could be plotted off of this; where your army is, how you're moving your troops. It's really kind of fascinating.''
One of the main reason Petey was successful at South Central against Dorrell (let's try to ignore for a second all his shady baggage that keeps getting heavier by the day) is he always projected a sense of confidence (until this recruiting season). Petey was like a pitbull. He always relentlessly flaunted how much he loved to recruit while we would hear nothing out of Westwood. Well that whole game has changed. Don't you think?
Specifically, BruinsNation.com has a bone to pick with this piece written by Maya where he reports that he "heard Te'o informed Bruins offensive coordinator Norm Chow during a conversation Wednesday morning he wouldn't be attending UCLA.. Someone who said he knew of the exchange said Chow, the recruiter assigned to Te'o and a fellow member of the LDS Church, then supposedly told Te'o that that was fine as long as he didn't go to USC."

en | N/A | N/A | A home-brewed bottle of greengage wine, encased in an edible sugar bottle or a compostable papaya membrane, purchased via iris recognition and delivered instantly by drone.
This scenario isn't fodder for a science fiction novel, but how we ourselves might expect to consume wine in the not-so-distant future, according to new research.
To celebrate its 30th birthday, specialist wine merchant Armit Wines has partnered with food and drink 'futurologist' Dr. Morgaine Gaye to predict the future of wine and to "gaze into the crystal ball of vinification". The trends she has predicted are both practical and fantastical.
Compostable, non-plastic glasses made from corn starch will come to the fore
This applies, as she shows, to the wine industry. So, from home-brewed wine to edible wine bottles and shiraz ice-cream, here's how you can expect to enjoy wine over the next three decades...
Edible glasses and bottles
"When it comes to packaging, c. The 'glass' is fully-compostable, so festival-goers can drink on the go while doing their bit for the planet. Edible bottles will also help counteract packaging waste," explains Dr Morgaine.
Iris recognition ID vending machines
"Shops and websites will no longer be the only way we will buy wine. Premium vending machines, similar to those in Japan, will dispense alcohol using iris recognition-technology to identify if the consumer is of legal drinking age.
"After the first purchase, the machine will record personal preferences, to make recommendations for future purchases.
New flavour profiles
"In the trajectory of wine, we've got a lot more oaky and smoky. Younger females are now more interested in whisky - that peaty taste was once very unpopular, but now it's sought after.
Label-less bottles
"Replacing traditional information labels, brands will produce label-less bottles that smartphones can scan to get detailed information on how, when and where it was made, using QR codes and AR [augmented reality]. We will also see a greater variety of shapes, sizes and materials that will enable brands to become much more distinctive and give greater stand-out on shelf.
We're inundated with information - there's so much to read all the time. The information we actually want is almost lost - with wine, we really just need to know the grape and the percentage in the first instance."
"This will thrive in the hospitality industry as restaurants and bars look to order at times convenient to them, such as after service. Oenophiles with cash to flash will also have instant delivery of fine wines to exotic locations at a moment's notice.
The British will drink less alcohol but enjoy better-quality products that are produced locally. "We have clearly seen the trend for drinking less, but better," explains Kirsten Kilby, managing director of Armit Wines.
Dr Morgaine agrees: "Our palettes are changing. We're more sensitive and developed, and looking to look for distinctions and nuances in wine. The same goes for chocolate: we're looking for the distinctions between different beans and different grapes, and we want to know about the different ways food and drink is made, from vine-to-glass as well as from bean-to-bar. Any old bottle of plonk won't cut it anymore - the new generation just won't buy it.
"We're seeing more wine poured over ice, and more interesting wine cocktails. There's a crossover with drinking vinegars and the lines are blurring between all of those things. The ways in which wine can be used is changing and becoming wider: we're seeing chardonnay ice cream, Shiraz cocktail nuts - wine is showing up in food in lots of new ways, which isn't typical. It's a step beyond rum and raisin. Previously, we wouldn't have expected that tannic profile to be found in ice cream." |

However, since it was a two-part question, the answer to the second half was not supplied until after John had done answering the first. So, at the 55:19 minute mark, the solution arrives three minutes later.
After the site was redesigned, the rich results were removed.
Many anecdotal examples exist of site redesigns that fail, succeed, or remain neutral with no change in rankings.
They checked their schema markup to see if it had any technical issues, but it passed all of them.
Because it’s difficult to mend anything if you don’t know what’s wrong, the individual who asked the inquiry just wants a notion of where they should go with this.

Part two of a two-part question is as follows:
Whll?”
It’s possible that the loss of rich results is just coincidental.
John Mueller responded to the inquiry, implying that modifications to the site may not have been the cause of the loss of rich results.
One possibility is that we re-evaluated the general quality of your website about the same time you made those adjustments.
If that’s the case, it’s probably more of a coincidence.
We normally don’t provide any rich results if we aren’t ”

Mueller concluded his response by saying:
“So it’s not like there’”
It’s more like… e’s a technological problem.”
“It’s not perfect, but it’s close.””
The Site Query Exploit
The following is an example of a site query:
site:example.com Keywords as an example
Google’s standard ranking algorithm isn’t used in a site query. It’s unclear what it employs, but it’s clear that it’s not the same as a standard search query, as is the case with all advanced search inquiries. It’s simply a straightforward website search.
Rich Results Can Be Removed Due To Poor Site Quality

en | N/A | N/A | ABRAHAM or IBRAHIM?
I was going to write a blog in essay-format arguing a case for the logic of I wanted to first preface that by explaining the background issues briefly, namely the Sunni/Shiite split and the Arab/Non-Arab split. I will probably do that later today but instead wanted to post something I rediscovered while looking for a precise definition of Arab (in trying to explain, for example, Iran is Muslim but not Arab.) What I came across was a story from the Book of Genesis about Abraham. Abraham is accepted as the patriach of Judaism, Christianity and Islam; and the story offers how the divisions began. Here is the story brieafter God created the world but before the Land of Israel was settled, there lived a man named Abraham in the city of Harran (modern Turkey.) One day God spoke to Abraham, and directed him south to Shechem, where he promised Abraham that his son would inherit and rule the land.Wishing to fulfil his pact with God, Abraham got busy with his wife, Sarai, but to no avail. As these were the days before fertility pills, they had very few options. Desperate to keep his end of the agreement up, Abraham came into an "agreement" with his wife, who urged him to turn to the housekeeper, Hagar (Genesis 16:2).And thus Abraham impregnated Hagar, while still wed to Sarai, which as expected created some very tense and extremely akward situations. But soon Hagar gave birth to a son, Ishmael!They all began to raise Ishmael together and apparently Abraham was still physically intimate with his barren wife because out of the blue she became pregnant, and soon gave birth to their son, Isaac!Well to sum it up, things were just too tense in that house, Abraham having a child with both the his wife and the housekeeper and them all trying to live together. Being Abraham's actual wife, Sarai put her foot down and got Hagar and Ishmael to leave.Ishmael went east and became the father of the Arab people, Isaac stayed local and became father to the Jewish people, one of of whom many years later started an offshoot of Judaism that was called Christianity.And still today Christians, Jews and and Muslims all regard Abraham as the patriarch of their peoples, one of the most important prophets in all three religions. And as fighting in the Middle East rages today among people, Muslims Christian and Jews, who all agree that they are all descendents of the Prophet Abraham, they may want look a little past the family fighting and estrangment between Abraham's two children Ishmael and Isaac, and what happened at the end of the story of Abraham.Although they had fought eachother as enemies and lived apart for years without ever speaking, Isaac and Ishmael came together one last time to fulfil their responsibility as brothers; and that was to bury and mourn their father,

Great review! I'm in the middle of reading this and I love Sawyer, Julietta, and Wolfe! </s> Thet’s call it “downtown”When choosing a location, firms must balance the cost of land against the benefits of clustering, access to markets, and proximity to workers. For some firms, cheaper land and the presence of a labor pool outside the city center may outweigh the benefits of being near other businesses they deal with. According to this simple view, firms would decentralize in part to gain shorter commutes for their workers, expecting that to translate into reduced wage costs.
Of course, the real world cannot be explained by this simple theory. Consider three further complications.
First, workers are less likely to choose where to live based on job proximity if they know they’ll change jobs, if the location of their next job is uncertain due to job decentralization, or if their household has more than one worker. The choice becomes a gamble. Since it’s costly to move, workers may hedge their bets by locating at some intermediate spot, say somewhere between the city center and the suburbs, to reduce their long-range commute and moving costs. For households with two or more workers whose current and expected future jobs are in different places, finding a place to live near work may not even be possible. In either case, decentralization of jobs might increase commute distances.
Second, firms may not choose to locate in suburbs solely to be near their work forces. They may enjoy other benefits from decentralization, including underused transportation capacity in outlying areas, better access to external markets, lower taxes, and proximity to suburban customers. If these factors are important, then job decentralization will not necessarily produce shorter commutes.
Third, households clearly think about more than just job location when choosing where to live. They also consider access to shopping and other nonwork activities, the quality of the neighborhood, schools, and other public services, and the resale value of the property (which reflects all of these). In general, the higher priority they give other considerations, the less likely it is that people will reduce commute length when firms decentralize.
Other research using data on individuals has found that decentralization lengthens the commute under some circumstances or for particular household groups. For example, in his UC Berkeley dissertation and subsequent research, Jonathan Levine found that commutes of low-income households increased in distance as employment suburbanized, in part due to shortages of affordable housing nearby. This finding raises a further complication: although land tends to be cheaper in the suburbs, regulations on the construction of higher density, cheaper housing units may reduce the available supply in many areas.
This line of research remains in its infancy. Behavioral data typically are either too aggregated or are limited in some other way, making it difficult to explore individual choices; and statistical models are insufficiently developed. Although empirical relationships may be too complex ever to be fully understood, it is certainly possible to understand them better.
For information on individuals and their commute distances, we use data from 1985 to 1997 from the American Housing Survey (AHS), a large, nationwide survey administered every two |

The project is meant not just for young people interested in a theater career. “Collision is not designed to make ‘Broadway babies,’ but to create active, engaged citizens, to use the creative experience to become more engaged in the world,” McColery declares. Cleage says many participants have later become part of the Alliance extended family in different capacities, such as instructors or patrons.
Likewise for the students, it gives them a connectivity they might not have had before, Cleage feels. “This project helps them to look around and they do. They meet a range of people they might have never met, that they would have never bumped into, and through this they can provide each other with a sense of community.”

en | N/A | N/A | After introducing me to iris folding, Judibug (her user name on the PcCrafter message board), then sent me a beautiful tag card – you can see this card in the gallery. I didn't get hooked right away because I just had my baby then. Well, of course, as soon as I was able to, here I go again, copying her, LOL!My tag card is a more humble version – but of course, you can add as much or as little embellishments as you want!
When the tags were all "dressed up" I cut "hinges" from a med. weight cardstock so it would fold nicely. I attached all of the front side tags together in a row using the "hinges". Leaving a small space between each tag (so there would be room for each tag edge when it is folded) I put all front tags together, side by side. After scoring the hinges down the middle I used glue pens from Sam's Club to apply the adhesive. You could use double stick tape. I tried running stuff through the Xyron but it was just too sticky for this project....after all hinges were attached to the tags, I flipped the "chain" of tags over. Then taking the rest of the tags, being mindful of keeping them in the correct order, I used double stick tape on the back of the tags and adhered them to their respectful fronts. This makes the hinge almost invisible as it is "caught" in-between the front and back tag. At this point I punched a hole in each tag pair using the pair before it to place the hole at the same place in each pair. Then I put several yarns and ribbons in each in each of these holes....it folds up like an accordion and if one chooses it will stand on a flat surfaces all by it's self while it is slightly folded....that is all there is to it...sure didn't take as long to write about it as it did to do it....I hope all of these instructions are helpful... |

Cape Town - An affirmative action case by union Solidarity against the Western Cape correctional services department was postponed in the Labour Court in Cape Town, the union said on Friday. “The case was postponed today (Friday) on condition that the posts applied for by the applicants and those that have not been filled, remain vacant. The trial will resume on 29 July until 9 August,” the union said in a statement. Solidarity said it brought the matter to court on behalf of the department's staff members - Linda-Jean Fortuin, Christopher February, Andre Jonkers, Geo-nita Baartman, Pieter Davids, Derick Wehr, Jan Kotze, Desiree Merkeur, Deidre Jordaan and Teresa Abrahams. “In each case, the persons concerned were the best candidates for pon they have not been appointed,” the union said. “Solidarity maintains that the department's blatant policy of absolute racial representation is unfair, irrational and unlawful.” In all the cases, the department argued that the national demographics had to be used as the criterion, said Solidarity. Geo-Nita Baartman, who has worked for the Correctional Services Department for over 13 years, believes she has been overlooked for promotion. Photo: Brenton Geach
It said coloured employees were overlooked because of the department's affirmative action policy. Fortuin, a coloured woman with 26 years of service at the department, was one of the employees who were allegedly dealt a blow by the policy. “She applied for three posts, but as a result of affirmative action, was passed over for all three. She was later appointed to one of the posts, that of Area Co-ordinator at Pollsmoor, with effect from 1 June 2012.” February, a coloured employee with 16 years of service, applied for the post of senior state acc “However, the director for equitable employment argued that the recommendation was not in line position. She, however, had already accepted another position, and the post was re-advertised.” Teboho Mokoena, deputy commissioner of human resources at the department, said his department followed the requirements of the Employment Equity Act. Freddie Engelbrecht of the Correctional Services Department. Photo: Michael Walker
“In terms of senior management posts of director and chief director levels in the Western Cape, there are five coloured males, two coloured females, five African males, five African females and one white male - there are no white females or Indian males or females in senior management,” said Mokoena. “Coloureds therefore comprise more than one third, or 38.89 percent, of senior managers.” Mokoena said Minister Sibusiso Ndebele convened a ministerial consultative forum in February, designated to resolve any problems that may exist between the department and recognised trade unions. “The department and the unions have structures in place to address issues related to the employment equity plan.” “Solidarity does not serve on these structures, due to the fact that it is not recognised within the department, as per rules of the collective bargaining council.” - Sapa Related Stories

Teams are ready to launch their race plans as the 8-hour and 24-hour rest periods come into view. But first, they must run the longest stretch of the race between checkpoints and make it through the early race with their teams intact.As the sun went down Tuesday, Nicolas Petit staked his claim as the first musher to the Yukon River. He receives $3,500 in ones and a five-course meal prepared by chefs at the Lakefront Hotel. But first, he needed to find a guest. Martin Buser, the musher who arrived 36 minutes after him wasn’t up for it.“The Yukon River dinner? I might? Otherwise, I may have to find someone else,” Buser said. “I have to go to sleep; I don’t like all of that hoopla.”Nicolas Petit and Tanana resident Blanche Edwin enjoy the five-course meal Petit won for being the first musher to the Yukon River.

en | N/A | N/A | In an earlier article, I showed how to make a system dual-boot Windows Vista and Debian Linux through GRUB. This was fairly straightforward, even with the new boot loader (BCD) that ships with the latest Vista builds. All of that happened in a reasonably simple environment – I used Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 SP1 to run Vista build 5342 and Debian.
This time, things are bound to get a little bit more interesting: I am installing Vista build 5342 on a Sun Ultra 40 AMD workstation. The other OS is – obviously – Solaris 10 01/06 (Update 1).
The overall procedure is very similar to what I have described before:
1. Install Windows Vista
2. Install Solaris and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as described here.
STOP: Solaris is not quite as smart about the boot loaders as GRUB and does some strange things to the MBR – OR – Vista x64 has a different behavior about writing its boot records. At this point, I could start Solaris by default. Vista did NOT boot for me – it was complaining about \Windows\System32\Winload.exe missing.
As such, I ran the System Recovery option from the Vista boot DVD, which reinstalled the Vista boot loaders. To be sure, I ran the bootsect.exe with switch /nt60 on the SYS volume.
For the restore options it is very important that you decline to have the boot problems fixed automatically .Just say “No” and click “Next” and you will be taken to a menu where you can get a full Windows shell – this is MUCH better than the recovery console.
3. Reboot into the Windows shell on the Vista Install DVD.
4. bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
5. bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
6. Run d:\boot\bootsect /nt60 c:
If you screw up GRUB
Now back into booting Solaris by throwing the Solaris install DVD into the drive, going to the command prompt of grub and specifying
Great. Solaris boots. Now run installgrub(1M) with the following arguments:
installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 -m /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/
NOTE: After you re-install GRUB, you will need to go back to the Vista Recovery console. |

The breaking-in period isn't a huge issue as much as it was. However, it still exists (the need for a break-in). How long you take is up to you. They advise ~500 miles,
. The reason is to seat the rings (like said above). And city driving is preferred to do that. Because a constant rpm is only going to seat the rings at that speed, not the rest (over-simplification). Opening her up once of twice isn't going to kill it. In fact, it may help out the break-in process.
Also - as I think was mentioned above, get an oil change earlier than you're supposed to. Because the first round of oil is gonna get REAL crappy, real fast with all the wear on the brand new parts (mainly the rings).
So: change the oil early. Don't go road racing for AT LEAST 200 miles (imho), and vary the revolutions (minimize highway driving).

en | N/A | N/A | When is a house a home and when is it not?
Comments Off on When is a house a home and when is it not?
The question of whether a home is a home or not has been a contentious issue in India for centuries.
Thd home is.
Home, for instance, is not a property.
In other words, a house is not the same as a building.
So, a property can’t be considered a home, since it’s a structure that has its own boundaries.
But a house can be considered to be a place, because it’s an integral part of a community or a structure, or, if that’s not enough, a community can be said to be comprised of many houses.
The definition of a home has been debated for centuries, and has been interpreted and debated for the past 100 years.
The debate over the meaning of the term home is part of the history of the country.
A large part of that history comes from the 18th century, when Englishman Charles Dickens created a series of books that explored the lives of people living in the country and the problems that they faced.
The stories were aimed at helping people in India feel better about their condition.
For many, the books were a means to better understand and understand the country, which is still a place that some people would describe as being on the wrong side of history.
Today, the country has seen a lot of progress in the past century.
However, the term house has remained controversial.
While some have claimed that a house should be defined by its exterior, others argue that a home can be defined only by its interior.
In any case, there is no consensus about the definition.
In India, there are two distinct concepts for what constitutes a home.
The first is the house itself, which refers to the living space that houses the family, friends, and property.
A house is usually the main living space for a family.
The second is the property that the family owns, which can be a building, a building or even a shed.
The concept of a house in India is very complex.
Different states in the north and west have their own definitions of the concept, while in the south and east, it is more complicated.
Aa single crime in a house includes a murder, robbery, rape, burglary, arson and any other criminal act committed against a house.
According to the Crime Survey of India, the number of crimes committed in a single house varies from state to state, but in general, the total number of murders committed in an entire state is less than 1 per 100,000 population.
But the numbers for other crimes are much higher, as the number is usually far higher.
According for instance to the National Crime Records Bureau, a, the figure for murders per 100 million population is 4.7, while the figure of rapes is 3.7.
For all crimes, the maximum punishment is death.
In the northern states of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, the rate of murders is 8 per 100 and rapes is 9.5 per 100.
The maximum punishment for murder is life imprisonment, while for rape, the punishment is 10 years imprisonment.
For a crime that is committed against an entire family, there can be different punishments depending on the victim and the accused.
For example, in a case where two women are killed by their husband and his two sons in a private house, the accused can be hanged, while a family can get the death penalty.
The Crime Survey Bureau said that only in Uttar Pradesh, in which there is a large number of Muslim-majority population, the sentence for murder or rape is death, while other crimes, like robbery, are punishable by life imprisonment.
In Bihar, in Bihar’s northeast, the same case is the same, but the maximum penalty is death for the accused, while if the crime is committed in the same district, the death sentence is the life term.
In Kerala, in Kerala’s south, the state where the BJP has come to power, the crime rate is higher, but this is not surprising.
In a survey conducted in 2015, it was found that in the district where the state BJP has its stronghold, the murder rate was about 8 per 10,000 people, while it was higher in the neighbouring district of Andaman and Nicobar, where the Congress party holds a minority.
The state BJP is currently in power in Kerala, while its coalition partner in Andaman is the Left Front.
According the Crime Prevention Commission of India (CPI), a crime committed in Uttar (the state whn) has a of 15 years.
Similarly, in Andhra (the largest Muslim-dominated state in the state) the maximum sentence is a life term with a maximum sentence of five years.
In Maharashtra, a murder is punishable by up to life imprisonment and a rape is punishable to life in prison with a term of 10 years.

<issue_comment>username_0: At the minimum - two flags on the falcon executable that would set minimum throughput barriers for reading and writing. They could be default-"off" but you do need them.
<issue_comment>username_0: For later - here is how many of these "enforce throughput" exceptions we have noticed since we started running the test code (last Thursday):
![slowloris50782551-a2675f00-12a8-11e9-942f-137740168694.png)
I am going to try to integrate this with the limit queue by putting a few around conditionals on the `write` of the body meanwhile.
<issue_comment>username_1: I've released `async` v1.13.0 which changed the internal timeout API to raise the `Async::TimeoutError` exception and I'm preparing an update to `async-io` which includes a per-socket `timeout_duration`:
https://github.com/socketry/async-io/blob/e9e7c268324002dc9e4db0f18a93bc4a0a26b38b/spec/async/io/socket_spec.rb#L87-L100
I'm not sure where is the best place to set `timeout_duration`, but perhaps the endpoint or `accept_each` could do it as an option.
This should catch connections that simply stop responding.
It won't catch connections that are maliciously slow though.
For that, we need more advanced throughput calculations.
@username_0 thanks so much for all your detailed feedback, it's really really awesome.
<issue_comment>username_1: BTW, I haven't realised `async-io` v1.18.0 yet because I don't know if it's the right design or not. So,first step - we need to try it live to find out.
I believe it is more than doable to implement a throughput calculator that can be controlled from the writing sid0abd93788293b1ab54cfa1b706570317
as long as there is some guarantee that sockets that did not get `select()`ed for a long time get forcibly closed and evicted. For example here https://gist.github.com/username_0/f9e1ac1fda26ddc6fb58b024d548c866 I included socket evicition on the condition that a socket was not selected for more than N.
I do not thoroughly understand _yet_ whether calling `close` on a `Writable` will lead falcon to close the socket immediately, without waiting for the client to accept the entire body. Basically what worries me is that I'm missing the understanding of how do you get rid of stale and/or maliciously slow connections. Maybe there is a need for some "command bus" attached to a `Task` or to the `Writable` - something like `force_abort!`?
<issue_comment>username_1: If `Body#read` raises an exception, it is likely to kill the entire connection.
There is no mechanism for doing this with any of the default implementations, but you could certainly do it yourself... when clients go "silent", does that not eventually trigger TCP keep alive timeouts within the kernel? Why is it necessary to do this within the application, assuming that one could set the TCP keep-alive timeouts to something smallish (like, say, 2 minutes). This would avoid the requirement of doing it in application land, which is probably a slight overhead.
I can clearly see the benefit of some application side timeouts, but if this can be done in the kernel would it not be a good idea too?
<issue_comment>username_0: Ok, that gets us somewhere. But since I only `write` into the body from the "emitter" task, how do I ensure the next `read` will raise short of subclassing the `Body` for these needs. And more importantly will `read` get called even if the socket was not `select()`ed by NIO just prior?
<issue_comment>username_1: Any body wrapper can raise in `#read`. If an IO is unresponsive for long enough, eventually the timeout will kill it.
This only applies to HTTP/1. HTTP/2 multiplexing connections might be more tricky. HTTP/3 with UPD will require protocol-level timeouts to free resources.
<issue_comment>username_1: I've just released falcon v0.20.0 which includes a 30s timeout by default for read/write/connect operations.
I've also released an update to async-http v0.37.10 which handles timeout failures for http/2 correctly.
More specs/tests welcome.
<issue_comment>username_0: 🎉 There will be. Incredible where we are getting here 🎉
<issue_comment>username_1: Blocking the reactor could be causing issues, I'm thinking of adding logging to tasks which are hogging the event loop. Did you make any progress on using `async` replacements?
<issue_comment>username_0: We did find out a ton of connections in TIME_WAIT when we were investigating but our last testing round was cut short. We will try to figure out where the leaks come from.
<issue_comment>username_0: Alright, we finally got to doing another round of tests. This time we elected to remove nginx from the picture entirely and opened bare falcon to the outside. We served prod traffic from one machine to a few hundred clients again, and observed the results. On the whole it was really nice: as predicted we did peg as many cores as the number of falcons we launched, which is fine, and we reached pretty high bandwidth numbers even though these went up and down. For managing writing I have used the following subclass of the writable body: https://gist.github.com/username_0/5d93a77e06d9418399cddfcd4368d9c7 which did indeed raise the SlowLoris exception a few times. We did also adjust the kernel keepalive setting to kick out dormant sockets. We did however get into trouble on one front. Here are the graphs for the machine we were using. This is the TCP connections:
![ds_tcpconns2904259-cfa11880-3229-11e9-863a-8417e38cd970.png)
The two "rocks" are two time periods when we were running falcon. As you can see, we have pretty continuous growth of sockets in CLOSE_WAIT. When we look at the memory usage we see that these sockets _also_ consume system memory - curiously enough falcon is great with userspace mem use, can't commend your buffering strategy enough 💯
![ds_mem82-10992d00-322a-11e9-942a-5cb7c5c30b82.png)
We have also encountered multiple warnings about TCP memory buffers being too low for the number of sockets open from the kernel, and we had to use sockstat to raise the number of pages from the default. It did not help much. Neither did adjusting keepalive. When we were exhausting that memory completely the net throughput on the box would grind to a halt, painting the following picture:

en | N/A | N/A | Many people believe they need the assistance of a professional financial adviser to properly manage their money. The truth is all you need is the right type of information. As far as dealing with personal finances goes, knowledge is power. You can make progress toward a sound financial future with the information below.
When you are investing in the Forex market watch the trends. Keep on top of things so you can buy at a lower price and sell high. Don’t ever sell when there’s an upswing or a downswing. You must have a goal, and stick to it during these wild trends.
There is more to the subject of personal finance than just dollar bills. In reality, it requires a good dose of common sense. Managing your finances smartly is a learned behavior and too often people learn the hard way. Take the following tips seriously and try to implement these changes into your finances to experience a happier and stress free life.
You can save both time and money by buying bulk packages of lean protein. If you end up using everything you bought, you could drastically reduce your expenses. Grill up plenty of chicken in advance, then you’ll have it ready for several days’ worth of quick meals.
TIP! In these turbulent times, spreading any savings you have around multiple locations is sound strategy. Here are some of the types of accounts and investments you should consider: straight savings account, standard checking account, stock investment, high interest bearing accounts, gold investment.
Instead of using a single maxed-out credit card, aim to use two or even more cards. Having to pay interest on two different cards will be a lot lower than paying a maxed out one. This should not have as bad an impact on your score as a maxed card would. You could possibly help your score through managing the cards wisely.
When you’re having trouble getting rid of credit card debt, avoid adding new charges. Cut your spending and do everything you can to avoid maxing out any of your credit cards. The best thing to do would be to pay off your card before you use it again.
If collectors are harassing you for repayment of debts, try and do some negotiating with them. They may have purchased your debt for a low price. You could end up only paying a fraction of your debt. Use this fact to your advantage and negotiate a lower settlement.
Credit cards can be a good alternative to a debit card. Using a credit card on topical purchases like gas and food, as compared to big purchases is a good idea. Earning rewards can get you cash back for the things you normally purchase.
TIP! Take a little money out of each of your pay checks and put it into savings. If you plan to save whatever money is left at the end of the month, it will never happen.
Look into all of the services which your bank offers online, like alerts. Banks utilize modern technologies, like e-mail and text messages, to keep you updated about your account. You should especially utilize security related alerts that notify you of events that could create a risk of overdraft, or be related to fraudulent activity. For example, you can set up alerts for when your balance reaches a certain minimum, or when a large withdrawal is made.
Personal finances are handled differently by everyone, and you are the only person who knows what is right for your life. It is hoped that you now feel more informed and eager to grapple with your finances and win. Post reminders of the things you’ve learned in your home, wallet or desk. You will see a positive outcome if you use the above advice.

A credit repair company may guarantee they can improve your credit report, don’t believe them. A lot of credit repair organizations will make broad, general statements about what they can do for you to clean up your credit. Everyone has a different credit report and needs a different solution to fix it. It’s simply not a case of ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to credit repairs, so there can be no guarantee of success.
Prepare your personal finance with the right insurance policy. No matter who you are, it’s possible to get sick at any time. Because of this, it’s important to have good health insurance. Bills for medical care can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Bills of this nature can ruin you financially without health insurance.
TIP! To improve your personal finances, stop paying the retail price on your purchases. Saving with coupons should be more important to you than brand loyalty.
If Christmas time has typically meant a lot of cash spending, then consider making your gifts instead. You can end up saving a lot of money if you give people handmade gifts instead of store bought ones. Making use of your own creative faculties cuts your costs and protects your net worth.

Never sell when you aren’t ready. If you are making a good profit on your stocks, hold on to them for the time being. If certain stocks are doing poorly, decide if you want to sell them.
Market trends are important in forex trading. You must keep up to date on the movement of the market so that you are able to buy at the lowest point possible, but sell when profits are the highest. Avoid selling on down and upswings. Make very clear goals when you choose to not completely ride out a trend.
TIP! Don’t keep buying things that promise quick money. This is one thing that happens to many marketers.
Wherever you go, bring along a small envelope. Put store receipts and things like business cards in it. It’s a great way to capture these items in a safe place to record them later on. These may come in handy, especially on the off chance that you end up double charged.
Do not fall for scams promising you a better credit score by changing your report. A lot of companies exaggerate their ability to improve your credit. There is no fix that will work for every situation, and these companies are not being honest with you. There is no way to guarantee success in credit repair and if anyone says otherwise, they are being dishonest.
TIP! If you want to save money while traveling, eat at local places rather than tourist restaurants. Hotel restaurants should only be your last resort.
Savings should be the first thing you take from each check. It’s too easy to spend now, and forget to save later. Additionally, setting it aside right away prevents you from spending the money on things you do not need. You will know what you need money for before your next check comes.
Buying in bulk is only smart if you are using all of the product before it goes bad. The secret to stocking up is to buy things that you use regularly and use it before it expires. Purchase realistic quantities to make the most of the bargain prices.
You have to get out of debt before you can rebuild your credit score. Cut back on spending and pay off debts, loans and credit cards. There are a variety of ways to save money, like making your own meals. Taking your own lunch to work and not eating out on weekends can save you a lot of money. If you’re serious about repairing your credit, you’ll have to commit to reducing your spending.
As mentioned in this article, by taking care of your finances now and leaning how to save effectively, you will be able to afford larger purchases in the future. This article can help you be ready to make smart decisions with your money.

What I do not believe is acceptable are the fairly pervasive comments among Southern Baptists who explain their actions toward churches that call women as pastors by suggesting that they are defending "the gospel." In the Herald's article, Bobby Harrell, pastor of First Baptist Church of Leesburg, Ga., is quoted as saying: "This is a very big deal within the Baptist church because Scripture tells us that a woman shall not teach a man. Our church has gotten away from biblical faith. It's a watered-down gospel, and we are preaching sermons that tickle ears."
When I read such claims, I wonder when the gospel became "women are not permitted to serve as pastors?" When did Jesus proclaim, should not teach men, should not be senior pastors and should remain silent in the presence of men?Did I miss this the last time I rea?
And why does Harrell not assert that the gospel is also watered down when women in Baptist churches practice other behaviors forbidden in 1 Timothy 2, such as braiding their hair and adorning themselves with gold, pearls and expensive clothing?Why are these behaviors not a basis for disfellowshipping a church?
Moreover, if the good news, the gospel, of Jesus is really thattheir presence, one wonders why Jesus didn't jump in the bushes to hide himself from the women who came to his tomb on the morning of his resurrection until "appropriate" male messengers arrived who were qualified to go and tell others that he had risen?
This begs the question: Do Harrell and Southern Baptists who think like him really believe that the gospel can be equated with the subjugation of women to men?Do they really believe that the good news of Jesus can be equated with the belief that those fortunate enough to be born with one reproductive organ instead of another are the only people qualified to serve as church pastors? |

Three years ago, when we came to the end of our lease of a Toyota Auris hybrid, we tried to get another one. For one reason or another (poor customer service, delays on shipping from Japan) that didn’t happen. So we bought a 2013 diesel Volvo V60. It’s a lovely car, but it’s now at the age where it’s started to need things doing to it. Things that cost £££.
I used a carbon calculator to work out that driving 12,000 miles in our car emits 2.96 tonnes of CO2 per year. As we don’t have a drive and there’s no EV charging points on the road where we park, we’d have to go for a hybrid such as a Toyota Corolla. We literally couldn’t plug in a fully-electric car.
From what I’ve read, it can take up to two years or 50,000 miles for a fully-electric vehicle to ‘pay off’ the increased manufacturing emissionFor hybrids, that figure will of course be higher.
So although we’d love a new car, it doesn’t make much sense to get a new one right now. We’ll be hanging onto our Volvo V60 for the foreseeable, even if it does have a diesel engine. Sometimes the best thing for the environment might to hang on to what you’ve got and keep it going.

This reminds me of the phrase, ‘The most sustainable garment you can wear is the one already in your wardrobe.’ I have also been considering an EV as my car passed 100,000 miles earlier this year, but it still seems to have some go in it, so why change? My aim is to start getting the bus to work instead, to prolong the life of what I’ve got, although this may necessitate a new coat… |

en | N/A | N/A | Radio Hosts: An Overlooked Social Connection Craved During Quarantine
At the pandemic’s height, experts across a number of industries worked tirelessly to provide essential services, updates, and information to those who remained isolated or quarantined from their friends, family, and other loved ones. While sectors such as hospitals and local governments certainly helped to spearhead this dissemination of information, one overlooked sector that also helped contribute to this is that of radio and talk show hosts.
Wendy Wild is one such radio show host. Based in New York City, NY, Wild was present to witness the pandemic’s onset in her home city and how it affected the lives of not only herself and her colleagues, but millions of other residents; many of whom were regular listeners on her own shows heard in New York, but also other markets such as Fort Myers, Salt Lake City, Miami or her “What’s Up With Wendy” segment heard on the nationally syndicated, The Weekend Throwdown With Jagger.
“The pfor all of us,” says Wild, “as radio and talk show hosts, we are someone who not only plays music and talks between or over songs, but also someone who feels like and acts as a friend to our listeners. We’re relatable and stay on top of the news and pop culture, but also understand the grind of everyday life.”
“We had to quickly pivot,” Wild adds, “and our workflows changed. Not only did we have to maintain our program production, but we had to also provide crucial information for listeners hungry to stay updated on pandemic-related news. My team and I quickly noticed that more and more listeners were tuning in to our programs, likely as a result of so many of them being forced families and searching for ways to stay connected when they otherwise couldn’t.”
This growth in listeners was not felt solely by Wild and her other colleagues in New York, however. In an interview last year Michael Dujardin, channel manager for the largest commercial radio station in Flanders, Belgium, stated that his company’s online streaming listener numbers increased by more than 50% during the pandemic compared to the year before.
Similarly, a Nielsen study conductedt the majority of those surveyed were listening to radio, podcast, and other talk showc, with an increase between 10-26% of listeners tuning in on their computers, smartphones, or smart speakers from home.
That same study also predicted that, with so many people stuck in their homes, media consumption was projected to increase by some 60% across the board—a figure that, a year later, seems to remain on-trendith roughly 28% of Nielsen’s study participants reporting that they have and/or continue listening to radio broadcasts more during the pandemic.
radio and talk show hosts such as Wild have remained driven in their passion to continually engage listeners, acting as a kind of virtual parasocial friend for them when they needed (and continue to need) access to vital information and social interaction more than ever before.

en | N/A | N/A | glaciers. This unique combination has made Iceland's landscape otherworldly.
The coolest things you can see in Iceland
1. Black beaches
Reynisfjara Beach, where the currents are deadly
Some of the best black-sand beaches to visit include:
Stokknes – Further along the South Coast near the town of Hofn you'll find an area called Stokknes. While the weather can be wild and windy here, you'll find a long black sand beach with views of Vestrahorn mountain.
In fact, it was here that the word “geyser” was coined. The Great Geysir was the first geyser known to Europeans, with the word “geyser” being adapted from the Icelandic “geysir,” which means “to gush” in Old Norse.
(This is a popular stop along Iceland's “Golden Circle” route.)
3. Waterfalls you can walk behind
One of the most famous waterfalls along Iceland's South Shore is Seljalandsfoss. The thin stream of water flows year-round, and visitors who don't mind getting wet can walk under a cliff overhang and hang out behind the waterfall.
This waterfall is fairly easy to access (you don't need a 4WD car to reach it, and you don't have to hike that far), making it one of the more popular waterfalls in Iceland to visit.
4. Glaciers on top of volcanoes
5. A rift between tectonic plates
Separating tectonic plates
6. Elf houses
7. Lava tube caves
Lots of volcanoes of course means lots of lava. And lava is a pretty powerful thing.
8. Caves made of ice
But a handful of tour operators have popped up in South Iceland to offer tours to the biggest and best ice caves each season, so take advantage if you're visiting at the right time of year! (Here's a tour to Crystal Cave.)
Iceland's geothermal activity means that there are tons of natural hot pools all over the country. Some are marketed as tourist destinations (like the Mývatn Nature Baths or the Secret Lagoon in Fludir), while others are truly natural and usually just stumbled upon or found by people in-the-know.
10. Viking horses
Icelandic horses are so pure-bred, though, that if they ever leave the island for breeding or horse shows, they can never return to Iceland for fear of the spread of disease.
11. Northern Lights and Midnight Sun
12. Ancient moss
This moss is hundreds of years old!
Even though it's not covered in ice like it's name would imply, Iceland's landscape is still pretty stark. There aren't really forests or large tracts of farmland in Iceland – but that doesn't mean you can't find great swaths of green there.

By Soccer Blog | Apr 2, 2012
Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina was red carded for his headbutt on Newcastle United’s James Perch in the Reds’ 2-0 loss to Newcastle on April 1, 2012.
Perch disrupted Reina as he was on the way to release the ball and the Spanish keeper, offended, decided to do a Zidane on him. The headbutt really didn’t connect but Perch went down easily, as the video the headbutt will tell you. The referee Martin Atkinson gave Reina a red card, (meaning that he will miss Liverpool’s FA Cup semifinal against arch rivals Everton) and Perch a yellow.

The cool collected Pepe I’ve beenbeen watching for almost a decade would only go off on someone who rightly deserved it! Perch is a pussy and should be called out for the trip on Reina. The sport has gone to the the dogs when a tiny altercation like that results in a straight red. LONG LIVE THE “LIVERPOOL KISS”!!!! I’m sure Shankley is rolling over in his grave!
Sam April 15, 2012 5:01 pm
Yeah he is a twat for going down way too easy I completely agree but you should never attempt or actually carry out a head butt on any player whatsoever. You cannot justify a head butt. To me it’s a red for Reina but Perch shouldn’t have fouled him in the first place but it’s not worth a red card. Very mature comments I see!! Do any of you actually play football or just like to think you can?? In support of women’s football. KIKK Ladies FC!!! Champions!!!

en | N/A | N/A | Duigan Family ArchivesCHICAGO -- Jason Hammel gave up one hit and drove in the go-ahead runs in Chicago's 5-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at rainy Wrigley Field on Saturday afternoon. The win was the fourth in the row for the Chicago (39-15) and put the Cubs a season high 24-games over .500.
Hammel (7-1, 2.14) pitched aced while giving up just one hit. That one hit, however, was a two-run homer in the first by Jake Lamb that gave the Diamondbacks a 2-0 lead. The Cubs would cut the lead in half when Dexter Fowler, the Cubs tied the game with an RBI double by Jorge Soler. Then after an 2-out intentional walk to David Ross to get to Hammel, he lined a pitch up the middle that hit second base and bought home two runs. Hammel now has a career-high seven RBI this season, which is most among Cubs pitchers and is second-most in the majors behind Adam Wainwright’s eight RBI.
The Diamondbacks threaten to take the lead after Yasmany Tomas hit a solo home run in the eight inning and then the Arizona loaded the bases. However, Travis Wood got pinch-hitter Tony Weeks Jr on a 3-2 count to line out to second to the rally.
Chicago added some insurance in the bottom of the eight with Anthony Rizzo's solo home run. It was Rizzo's 13th home run of the season.
The Cubs will go for the 3-game sweep on Sunday with ace Jake Arrieta (9-0, 1.56) facing Patrick Corbin (2-5, 4.96) at 1:20 p.m. CT winning 5 of 6 so far.

Mr Fagan said the program was also the perfect support model to the local Auskick program.
“Over the past decade, the Devonport soccer and basketball clubs have been extremely successful at attracting large numbers of primary school children to their sport through junior programs. Aussie Rules has taken much of a back seat with this age group,” he said.

The two new stadiums in both locations will open in the 2020 season with Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, where the Rams and Chargers will play, while the Raiders will call Allegiant Stadium Las Vegas home.

en | N/A | N/A | Billions of people play mobile games.
Mobile gaming is larger than many consumers realize. Games on various mobile devices have garnered over 50 percent of all gaming revenue. These stats are taken from 2020, and it was taken on a global scale, meaning it considered every country in the world.
There are 2.69 billion mobile gamers as of 2022. The revenue for mobile games in 2021 was over 6 billion dollars. The pandemic shut down many things around the globe and people were bored and needed entertainment.
This need was satisfied by the accessibility of mobile games, including puzzle games, gacha games, RPGs, and more.
About 84 percent of the world, or 6.6 billion people, own a smartphone of some kind. This means a majority of the world has access to mobile games.
As time goes on and the pandemic still impacts countless lives, the need for entertainment continues to increase.
Now that big companies, like Roblox, the quality is improving. With the quality improving, so are ratings. Ratings lead to more players, and more players lead to more sales, thus making the mobile gaming industry a huge success.
With gaming events such as esports gaining more popularity, it’s safe to assume mobile gaming will rise with it.
There are billions of mobile gamers. Additionally, statistics show that by 2023, the total revenue is set to surpass the 100 billion dollar milestone.
Gaming companies have moved many of their console games to mobile to increase profitability. Examples of this include Fortnite and PUBG. They wouldn’t do this if they didn’t see a future in the mobile gaming industry.
Additionally, game developers are creating large, impressive games with mobile in mind. Take Genshin Impact for example. The game is ridiculously polished. And that polish is paying off for the game’s developer, HoYoverse. Their 2021 revenue was nearly $2 billion.
Look at console and PC gaming as a comparison. All other platforms combined still haven’t made as much revenue as mobile gaming. There is an estimated 75 percent increase in gameplay activity that will remain and possibly grow over the coming years.
Gaming is not like the car market where it’s very unpredictable. Gaming is a staple in modern culture, and mobile gaming is becoming a part of that. Worldwide, gaming is extremely popular and that will not be slowing down anytime soon, if ever.
All these factors point to gaming staying a worldwide phenomenon, and mobile gaming is going to follow suit due to the accessibility and the entertainment value the mobile industry possesses. |
en | N/A | N/A | Not Pakistan, Indira Gandhi’s India escalated military action before 1971 war
Srinath Raghavan Updated: 3 December, 2018 11:17 am IST
It became increasingly difficult to deny Indian military involvement alongside the Mukti Bahini in Bangladesh.
On returning to New Delhi [in mid-November 1971], the prime minister [Indira Gandhi] ordered a further escalation of military action along the borders with East Pakistan. From early October, the Indian army had been supporting attacks by the Mukti Bahini on Pakistani border posts. This initially took the form of artillery fire on Pakistani positions and the participation of small numbers of Indian troops in the offensives. In the second week of October, the army’s eastern command ordered its formations not only to defend the border but also to carry out offensive operations up to ten miles inside East Pakista The captured territory was, however, held by the Mukti Bahini, with Indian troops retreating behind the borders.
The prime minister claimed in parliament on 24 November that “it has never been our intention to escalate the situation” and that “ except in self-defence.” She dismissed as “propaganda” Pakistan’s claims that India was “engaged in an undeclared war”: “This is wholly untrue.” The speech was, in fact, part of India’s propaganda. Over two weeks back, Sydney Schanberg of the New York Times had filed a story quoting Indian officials as admitting that their troops had crossed into East Pakistan. Indira Gandhi had been in Paris when the piece was published and had been “deeply concerned at this leakage and desire[d] it to be thoroughly investigated.” She instructed Indian officials “not to indulge in making statements which are politically damaging to our cause.” As the tempo of operations rose, i. In the last week of November, the prime minister gave the go ahead for a full-scale attack on East Pakistan. The D-Day was set for 4 December 1971.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan army was watching the escalating conflict in the east with mounting disquiet. On the evening of 22 November, the chief of general staff briefed the president on the situation and urged him to order the attack on the western front. Yahya Khan told Gul Hassan Khan that “seised.” Yahya was hoping that the UN Security Council would take cognizance of the fighting and intervene in the crisis…
Also read: Had US used its economic power over Pakistan in 1971, Asia could have avoided a war
By this time [26 November], Yahya’s hopes for great power intervention had been deflated. The only major power that was inclined to raise the matter in the Security Council was the US. The Soviet Union made it clear that it would block any move to prematurely summon the Security Council. Britain, too, conveyed to the US that it wished to stand aloof…
D.P. Dhar was on the prime minister’s aircraft travelling with her from Calcutta when the pilot informed them of the Pakistani air strikes. “The fool has done exactly what one had expected”, he tersely remarked. Mrs. Gandhi landed in New Delhi at around 10.45 pm and was received by the defence minister. She drove straight to the army headquarters where General Manekshaw briefed her on the actions taken on the western front and sought permission for launching the operations in the east. A little later Mrs. Gandhi met the rest of her cabinet.In the wee hours of 4 December 1971, the war for Bangladesh formally began.

Inwomen with the respect they deserve, especially concerning the priesthood. An article in the Ensign, “ discusses three ways in which women and men can better understand women’s important connection to God’s priesthood power.
Understand the doctrine behind women’s connection to the priesthood. God uses the priesthood to accomplish his great work of salvation (Moses 1:39). All women have a role in accomplishing God’s work and have access to the power of the priesthood through callings, through the temple endowment, and through their role as presiders in their homes.
Avoid the stumbling blocks that keep women and men from recognizing women’s connection to priesthood power. Men are not the priesthood; they are holders of the priesthood. We should not refer to men as “the priesthood” because both men and women are blessed by and operate in the Church using the priesthood. It is equally important for both women and men to study the priesthood to understand their connection to it. We should not limit women based on traditions or false opinions: women can lead, teach, and inspire.
Act and study. Be aware of current teachings regarding women and the priesthood. Help everyone understand the role that women have in helping God in his work of salvation. Listen to the counsel of male and female leaders of the church. In stake, ward, and other councils, women should have an equal role in the discussion.
When women and men both understand women’s connection to the priesthood, all will be able to serve without limitations and find joy in their service.
For more insights and details on this topic, read the full article by Barbara Morgan Gardner.
Read more about women’s role in God’s work of salvation in Elder M. Russell Ballard’s talk “Men and Women in the Work of the Lord.”
Understand more about the priesthood by reading Elder Dallin H. Oaks’s talk “The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood.”
