“Always plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.”– Richard Cushing. According to today’s scripture, James tells us that we should not make any plans apart from God. We have absolutely no control over our lives or over the events that may happen; we should never boast about our short-range and long-range plans without God in the equation. Our lives and our future are in God’s control and His thoughts and ways are much higher than ours. So, even if we make plans for our future, let us ensure that they are written using a chalk or pencil while asking ourselves the following questions: “Did I have God involved in this plan?” “Will this plan glorify Him or me?” Then let God have the eraser! It isn’t bad to plan, just make sure you are with God and have the right intentions. God Loves Ya 😉 | http://www.simplygod101.com/planning/ | 1,653,393,526 | null |
In the spring of 1960, Vladimir Nabokov was living in a rented villa in Los Angeles’ Mandeville Canyon, hard at work adapting his novel Lolita into a screenplay for Stanley Kubrick.
He wrote in four-hour stretches, planted in a lawn chair “among the roses and mockingbirds,” he later wrote, “using lined index cards and a Blackwing pencil for rubbing out and writing anew the scenes I had imagined in the morning.”
With more than 1,000 cards to work with, the scribe found that his pencil arguably became his most trusted collaborator.
Nabokov isn’t alone in his devotion to the Blackwing 602, without question among the most fetishized writing instruments of all time.
It counts among its cultish fan base some of the greatest creative geniuses of the 20th century, from John Steinbeck (“I have found a new kind of pencil — the best I have ever had!” he wrote) to Quincy Jones (the Thriller producer says he carries one under his sweater when making “continual fixes” to his music) and Truman Capote (who stocked his nightstands with fresh boxes) to Stephen Sondheim, who has composed exclusively with Blackwings since the early 1960s.
The pencil even made its way onto TV’s most object-obsessive series, AMC’s Mad Men, put there by TV director Tim Hunter, who says, “I just had always felt that these folks would be using Blackwings.” Animators, including artists who drew such iconic characters as Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, remain its most die-hard devotees — and earliest hoarders: The Blackwing 602 is becoming increasingly rare as it fast approaches its 80th birthday, with ostensibly only a few thousand in existence among the 13,000 that comprised its last lot in 1998, when the line was phased out.
Since then, Blackwing addicts have had to face the inevitable. “Of all tools,” says DreamWorks Animation’s Jenny Lerew, who blogs about the 602, “a great pencil is meant to be used, and in the using disappears inch by inch from the stocks of old utensil drawers, estate sales and retired artists everywhere. It’s a bittersweet conundrum. A lot of elegance and history will disappear with that last silver stub.”
The first was produced during the early 1930s by a New York City pencil plant, Eberhard Faber, founded by two German brothers in 1861 on the present United Nations site. With the country in the throes of the Great Depression, the company saw an opportunity to cater to the sliver of monied elite who could afford what historian Henry Petroski describes as a “super-premium pencil.” The result was the first edition of the Blackwing 602, with its inky-black hexagonal barrel, gilt hardware, gold-embossed logo and memorable tagline, “Half the pressure, twice the speed.” Explains Petroski: “All the other pencils were yellow, the sign of a very high-quality lead. So to make a pencil black was exceedingly unusual.”
The Blackwing had another unique feature in its rectangular eraser, held in place by a squared-off metal clasp, or ferrule. When the eraser wore down, the user could slide out a small clip, extend the rubber to the desired length and refasten it. The flat eraser offered Blackwing users yet another advantageous feature: The pencil never rolled off the page. But what was under the hood was the real draw as no other pencil produced a line quite as supple, bold and creamy smooth as the Blackwing did despite retaining a point longer than those of its counterparts.
Early adopters who were animators began to spread the word. Walt Disney Studios’ Freddie Moore, the artist behind some of the best-loved Mickey Mouse cartoons, introduced it to animation’s “Nine Old Men,” including Ollie Johnston, who drew Bambi and Thumper among numerous other iconic characters. He cherished his first Blackwing and kept one taped to his studio window until he died.
When Shamus Culhane, who animated the “Heigh-Ho” sequence in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, died in 1996, he was buried with a Blackwing in hand. “We animators have our traditions, and the Blackwing is a cult to itself,” says Tom Sito, a key player in Disney’s animation revival, whose credits include The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.
Then came the dreaded discontinuation: Tim Hodge, who works on Cartoon Network’s Tom and Jerry, discovered a shortage of Blackwings in the Disney animation offices during the early ’90s. “I went down to the lady who ran the supply department, and she said, ‘Oh yeah, they stopped making those,’ ” he says. A sudden panic came on. “I had some stubs in my drawer,” recalls Hodge, “and was trying to gather them all together and see what I had left, like cigarette butts for a last smoke.” Adds Sito: “Some of my friends were downright distraught. It was like when the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn.”
The last Blackwing 602 rolled off the line in 1998. The brand had managed to survive the sale of Eberhard Faber to Faber-Castell in 1988, but when Sanford Corp. bought Faber-Castell six years later, annual sales of the already-rare item fell to 1,100 boxes of a dozen, and the machine that produced the ferrule mechanism broke down.
Fans set about gathering the remaining supply. Says Sondheim, who was inducted into the Blackwing brotherhood by the late playwright Burt Shevelove, with whom he collaborated on A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: “Burt was a stationery geek and believed that if you found a stationery supply that you like, you should buy not just one but a gross because they can become instantaneously obsolete. And I took him seriously.” Sondheim won’t specify how many he keeps stowed in his closet but says he has plenty left and even gifts friends with an occasional box.
The Blackwing’s demise coincided with the rise of Internet culture, which provided its diffuse community of users a place to convene and share gushy stories as well as a marketplace to buy and sell vestigial stock.
Prices promptly skyrocketed, and these days, a single genuine Blackwing 602 easily can run upward of $50 on eBay, while a half-gross from the 1970s, in its original box, is available for $1,999.99. The brand, whose trademark had lapsed, was resurrected in 2010 by California Cedar Products Co., which sells its reissue for $20 a dozen under the name Palomino Blackwing. Opinion among purists is mixed, but the company tries to earn good will by staging events like The Blackwing Experience, a tribute that took place in June at the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity in Costa Mesa, Calif. The location’s namesake — the animation genius behind Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote — drew only with a Blackwing until his death in 2002.
For most Blackwing fans, however, there are no substitutes for the original, pre-1994 602.
Sean Malone, an enthusiast who runs the Blackwing Pages blog, catalogs its every appearance in the pop-culture wilds and has spotted them strewn across the cluttered newsroom desks of All the President’s Men, clenched between Richard Dreyfuss’ teeth in Jaws and perched in the hand of copywriter Paul Kinsey in that episode of Mad Men. (A side note: Hunter, who also helms episodes of NBC’s Hannibal and FX’s American Horror Story, was introduced to the pencil by his Blackwing-loving father, Ian McLellan Hunter, a screenwriter known for fronting the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo, who penned 1953’s Oscar-winning Roman Holiday while in exile in Mexico.)
Malone also is fastidious about who is and isn’t a verified Blackwing aficionado: Igor Stravinsky and Faye Dunaway, yes; Frank Lloyd Wright and John Lennon, purely anecdotal. Fellow blogger Lerew says that despite an industrywide switch to Photoshop about seven years ago, she finds herself returning again and again to her dwindling supply of Blackwings for inspiration: “You go looking for something else, but there’s really nothing else like it.”
Adds Sondheim, now 83 and a songwriter on a Disney feature of his musical Into the Woods, starring Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp, “I’ll be adding two songs to the score via my trusty Blackwing.” | https://emanuellevy.com/review/blackwing-history-of-pencil/ | 1,652,866,336 | null |

In Alabama, hospitals were segregated, as were homes for the mentally handicapped, the elderly, the blind and the deaf. In Florida, a law ordered that textbooks used for black and white children be kept separate, even when they were in storage. In Louisiana, a law regulating circuses and sideshows required separate entrances, exits, and ticket windows, and required that they be at least 25 feet apart.
In South Carolina, a code required that black and white workers in textile factories labor in different rooms, using different water fountains and toilets as well as different stairways and pay windows.
In Atlanta, an ordinance banned amateur baseball games within two blocks of each other if the players were of different races. In New Orleans, ferries, public libraries, and even brothels were segregated. For a time, public education for African American children was eliminated past the fifth grade. On streetcars, there was a movable screen that black riders had to sit behind.
Woodrow Wilson became the first Southern president since before the Civil War. He brought segregation to the federal bureaucracy, setting up all-black divisions within agencies.
Disfranchisement
Within five years of the Plessy decision, most Southern states had circumvented the 15th Amendment and deprived African Americans of the vote by using such devices as literacy tests, property requirements, poll taxes, and white-only primaries. In 1896, in Louisiana there were 130,334 black registered voters; in 1904, there were only 1,342. Proponents of disfranchisement justified it as a way to end electoral fraud and violence and to ensure that only an educated citizenry would take part in elections.
The poll tax was typically a one or two-dollar tax, which was the equivalent of several days' pay. By 1910, all of the Southern states had adopted a poll tax. Turnout dropped dramatically, and in most areas, all-white primaries determined the election of government officials. As late as 1935, the Supreme Court allowed the Texas Democratic Party to exclude black voters from the Democratic primary, even though a primary victory was tantamount to election.
It should be noted that after 1900, Northern states also imposed literacy tests and registration requirements to "purify" their own electorate and to reduce the influence of "ignorant" or boss-controlled votes in urban centers. | http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook_print.cfm?smtid=2&psid=3182 | 1,652,717,794 | null |

You’ve decided to separate from your spouse and think you’re on the same page about sharing time with the kids and dividing up your property. You do not want to spend a lot of money on lawyers and have heard that mediation may be a good way to resolve all issues. Is mediation right for you?
What is mediation and how does it work?
In short, mediation is a confidential settlement discussion between you and your spouse that utilizes a trained neutral third party to assist in trying to resolve your dispute. Parties can choose to attend mediation before going to Court or once their case is pending, and can attend with attorneys or without them. Sometimes both parties are in the same room for mediation sessions and sometimes they are in separate rooms where the mediator moves back and forth to discuss the issues and settlement proposals. If you have a child custody case pending in a North Carolina court, then you are required to attend mediation. If you have financial issues pending, then you are required to complete some form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and mediation is a commonly used option.
Does the mediator represent me and my spouse?
No, the mediator is neutral, cannot represent either party and cannot give any legal advice.
What if my situation is more complicated? What if I am not on the same page with my spouse about parenting or timesharing schedules or who gets to keep which assets?
Mediation can be an effective way to reach resolution even if you’re at odds with your spouse on one or many issues. It’s not surprising that couples who have separated often have contrasting positions. However, through mediation and working with a trained professional, parties can effectively reach compromises that are better solutions than an order from a judge. This is because the parties are directly in control of the outcome in mediation and are in the best position to make such important decisions. Remember that you and your spouse know the most about your family, not a judge.
Dan Lewis is a family law attorney and certified North Carolina Family Financial Mediator. He represents clients in cases involving child custody, child support, equitable distribution, alimony, and domestic violence. He also serves as both a private mediator and court-appointed mediator.

Discover the most effective reviewed Steel Detectors on Amazon , below one web site. As soon as alerted to a goal digging is next up. A small hand trowel is usually all that’s wanted. It is doable to buy ‘steel-detecting’ trowels which can be longer and thinner however I’ve by no means bought one. A easy backyard trowel has all the time completed me proud.
Normally we seek for treasures and coins within the ground full of different disturbances that stop electromagnetic signal from passing from the gadget coil into the bottom. Such disturbances and unwanted indicators share one common time period: soil disturbance.
To do that one has to know lots and be moderately experienced treasure hunter. Furthermore, when the adjustment was carried out wrongly the searching consequence will be zero and, on contrast, professionally carried out floor balancing allows acquiring the best outcome.
It will probably solely be described as an absolute beast in shallow hunting grounds and is comparatively beginner pleasant for such a robust machine. Similar to its older brother, the Fisher Gold Bug 2, depth is not one thing that the Gold Bug Professional is particularly famous for. However, not like the Gold Bug 2, highly mineralized floor conditions do little to decelerate the system.
What’s so ironic about this query is it may be probably the most asked one across the buyer base of steel detectors. Yet, it may well’t even be answered straight up. This question is sort of a math equation that is filled with several different variables. In different phrases, there are too many factors that come into play to supply a direct reply to this query. For instance, the size of time an object rests underground can have severe implications on if the detector can actually detect it. This is because, after a while, the metal will corrode due to the soil.
The detection modes will decide up aluminum, rings and cash so as to filter out the nice finds from the trash. The massive coil means that you can shortly cowl ground on the seaside however it still folds up small and may even match right into a backpack. The telescoping design means you don’t need to assemble any difficult parts. Simply unfold the detector and fold it back up again once you’re carried out. The LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY display is extraordinarily simple to know, making it particularly good for kids and freshmen.
At the identical time, you may make an argument that the mannequin’s increased frequency (8 kHz) is what really makes essentially the most distinction here. It works wonders offering better sensitivity on low and medium-conductivity targets like gold and lead.
Use What are you hoping to find? What you will use your detector for could make all the distinction, as not all are appropriate for all functions. For example, some are suitable to be used for relics and cash, whereas high-finish fashions goal gold and never a lot else. Typically, folks do not want to be sifting by way of tin cans to get to the goods, so they opt for fashions with more choice over what metals they’ll find.
Geared up with preset ground stability settings, you’ll by no means want to worry about mineralization interference, so you may never stumble throughout a false-positive again, while the rugged construction makes it ideal for use in every kind of environments. Along with this, it has three totally different search modes so you possibly can solely discover what you need, whereas the interface is simple and easy to use, and has a target power meter so you’ll ensure when you’re about to hit the jackpot.
The machine has 7 pre-set search modes every of which can be manually adjusted. It is a perfect machine for relics, cash and jewellery looking or any steel you need. A water-resistant eleven inch DD coil comes within the machine set. In metallic detecting, discrimination refers to a detector’s ability to tell the difference between varied objects.
It comes with real-time computerized ground balancing, audio in all metallic discrimination mode, impartial control over threshold gain and continuous ground situation readouts. Being simply moveable, you’ll be able to neglect concerning the back-pain problems that other metallic detectors may trigger.
Whites Spectra Vision V3i can absolutely be thought of on of one of the best metallic detectors. It is outfitted with a colour display that exhibits details about the system performance and about these three frequencies as nicely. By means of a particular program it displays data concerning the target found and the extent of all three frequencies. | http://viz.bl00cyb.org/learn-to-do-metaldetectorshub-like-a-professional/ | 1,653,407,678 | null |

Turnstile Blues began when a small group of Ipswich Town fans, who were concerned about the direction they believed the club might be going in, came together with the idea of writing about their club.
The name Turnstile Blues refers to a statement by the then ITFC Chief Executive, Simon Clegg, that the Portman Road turnstiles had been repainted, a statement that was made during a period when many Town fans were deeply concerned about events on and off the pitch – even the possibility of relegation to the third tier of the Football League.
Having launched a successful issue of a fanzine of the same name, we decided to publish regular blogs and short pieces about ITFC by members of the group. We don’t claim to be speaking on behalf of anyone or representing a particular point of view but we hope you enjoy reading them and are interested in receiving your comments, e-mails and letters.
Following the favourable reception of the first Turnstile Blues, we have decided to continue publishing an occasional printed fanzine. Issue 6 was published on 7th March 2015.
All issues of Turnstile Blues can be obtained from this website. You can choose whether to order a printed copy of the fanzine by post or download a PDF. We are a not-for-profit group and only want to cover our costs.
Turnstile Blues is a celebration of the club we love, but we hope that it also provokes interest and debate. As a group of Ipswich Town supporters, we felt that we had some common concerns about our football club. We don’t agree on everything, by any means, but there is a general feeling that the club is losing something that we value, whatever it is that makes Ipswich Town unique and special.

All handcrafted jewelry is delicate, but can last a very long time if you care for it. Always apply makeup, lotion, hair spray, and perfume before putting on your jewelry to avoid build-up from these beauty products. Avoid rough handling and storing in high humid areas. Do not wear jewelry while swimming, showering, sunbathing, or in a hot tub. If jewelry gets wet, dry as soon as possible. Extensive exposure to saltwater, sunlight, extreme temperatures, or chemicals can permanently damage your handmade jewelry. When not wearing, store in a plastic zip-lock bag to protect and keep safe. Wipe with a soft cotton cloth to remove make-up and skin oils, if needed. Happy wearing! | https://www.twinblissjewelry.com/jewelry-care.html | 1,653,114,510 | null |
The days follow each other and do not look the same! Today I started the day with the repair of a puncture and leave the Aqua Blue guesthouse around 9:30 am. I felt like I was going to save myself from the rain but she caught up with me and my badly repaired puncture was revived… I thought I was able to avoid a full repair by inflating my tire every 20 km but the rain was falling more and more and when I stopped for the second time to re-inflate my tire I realized that I had a broken radius! At that moment, a small black pick-up truck stopped in front of me to offer assistance, an angel arrived just when I needed it. We went down to the seaside at Vrachos beach, where my good Samaritan was dealing with the owner of Tavern Orféas, a charming little restaurant/hotel, or I repaired my puncture properly this time (I found the little piece of glass lodged in the tyre at the source of the problem). All that remained was to find a place to repair my ray. My host took me up the coast on the main path and suggested stopping at Parga to spend the night and do my repair. I opted to go directly to Igoumenitsa because I thought I had a better chance of finding a bike repair shop in this important port city. The owner of the chick Hotel Oscar accompanied me by scooter to the bike repair shop. They're really nice Greeks. | https://marcgauthier.org/2019/05/14/kanali-a-igoumenitsa-9/ | 1,652,998,801 | null |

Hello from my last weekend of dorm life! EVER! Can you tell I’m happy about that? =) Actually, I’m at home this weekend, trying to prepare everything else that I need to bring down to the apartment when I move in Tuesday. It’s all quite exciting… I’ve purchased renters insurance, ordered Comcast internet, scheduled my move-in appointment, and made sure my roomies have paid their rent (2 down, 1 to go :) Now all that’s left is packing, purchasing a mattress/boxspring/frame, finishing my headboard, and paying my rent when I get there to check-in, and meeting up with my summer roommate Hanna! I’m super excited about it all!!!
On a more depressing note, this past week has been absolutely terrible, and I apologize for my lack of a real blog post last week. It’s honestly felt as if the world decided to throw the wildest, most annoying and terrible things at me, all within the span of about 5 days. Thankfully, the worst is over now, and moving in Tuesday will be my last stressful thing for a while, I hope. J
Here’s the quick run-down of everything insane, crazy, annoying, and just plain depressing that’s happened this week:
- Last Saturday I had a major fight with my sister and a small fight with my mom. Things have since resolved, but it was still pretty hard to go through. Things are a lot better now, praise God, but some things unfortunately I don’t see changing.
- Tuesday morning I woke up and noticed a large red bump on my arm, and I had a very itchy back. I didn’t really think about it more than “Hmmm…” until that night when I was lying in bed and became very itchy again. I then realized that I hadn’t been outside for it to be a mosquito bite and, after talking with my mom, we thought that my dorm bed likely had bed bugs. So, at about 10:15 at night, I packed all of my stuff from the dorm apartment and moved it over to another building, where I woke up my new roommate (oops, but it’s better than waking up to someone in your apartment) and had to be completely out of my old room by midnight. Yeah. So much fun. It took until about 12:30am, at which point I didn’t unpack and instead fell asleep. The episode also caused me to fall behind on my online course homework. :( Plus, I have to take all of the necessary bed bug precautions and may need to trash my nice comforter and sheets :(
- Tuesday afternoon at work I also had to give a demo of the program I’ve been working on. While it’s completely functional, it’s WAY too slow. :( So the next three weeks I am dedicated to making it run faster! It was a big disappointment to see it run so slow, though, but I will work to the best of my ability to improve it!
- Wednesday morning I woke up at 7am, unpacked a little, then headed over to the student clinic to be seen. Instead, they couldn’t see me at that time, and I went back later in the day. It’s since been determined it was likely a spider bite, hopefully not poisonous, but it still hasn’t gone away or decreased in size, so it’s still possible it was bed bugs. Also of note: my roommate is ignoring me. I tried being friendly the first day and worked out in the living room in case she wanted to talk, but after a minute of small talk after her work, she retreated to her bedroom. I haven’t seen or heard her since.
- I didn’t get much sleep Wednesday night because I woke up several times with a severe pain and pressure in my right ear. I knew I irritated it Monday afternoon with my headphones, but I didn’t think it would evolve to something so painful. I went to the clinic again early Thursday morning, and the nurse said I had a giant white head taking up half of the inside of my ear. Seriously?! I didn’t even know you could get acne in your ear. That night I had to apply a hot towel, and it kind of popped, but it didn’t really go away until this morning. It’s still kind of there, so hopefully it’s going away.
- I also found out Thursday that my ears have crazy amounts of wax in them, so after my right ear heals, I'm supposed to go back and make 2 days worth of appointments at the clinic for them to clean them. Yuck.
- Thursday afternoon I had an interview for an IT security internship that would be for during the school year. It went fairly well, thank goodness, but the entire time I was just hoping that the pain in my ear would go away.
- Thursday night I had to study for my final in my logic class… at 8am Friday morning. Sigh. I didn’t get to study as much as I wanted because at about 10:30pm that night I developed a major migraine- the kind that you can’t ignore. So I looked for my pain medicine, only to realize that I didn’t have it… and accidentally left it in my other dorm room. I had to choice but to finish my studying quickly (until about 1am) and go to bed, hoping it would go away by the next morning for my final. It didn’t, and I ended up taking my final with the headache, which didn’t go away until 2pm Friday.
So yeah. It’s kind of felt like the world’s been out to get me, especially when you consider during the entire week I was frantically trying to arrange a decision and order renters insurance and internet, as well as make final preparations for moving into my apartment Tuesday. Tuesday night I’ll (hopefully) be able to breathe easier. (fingers crossed!)
Despite all of the crazy mess that happened above, there were still a few good things that happened :)
- Mark and I were able to chat Thursday night! (Yes, when I should have been studying, but I still got the studying done, and the final was fine…) We had to arrange for a special time for us to talk, since when I’m awake, he’s usually sleeping- Bangladesh is 11 hours ahead of Central time. Still, he was willing to wake up at 7am to chat with me on Facebook, despite him having a limited amount of data usage and it being 7am! (Apparently though he couldn’t sleep well that night because he kept waking up and hoping it was 7am. Isn’t he so sweet?! *blushes* ) It was absolutely wonderful to talk with him… I really miss him and am excited to see him in a few weeks, but God is doing amazing work through him in Bangladesh. =D
- My final went well. I’m pretty confident I’ve (for once!) gotten a high A in the class. =D
- I’m almost ready to move into my apartment!!!!!! =D =D =D
- My mom was wonderful throughout my terrible week- she was always willing to listen to me on the phone and always tried to cheer me up. I love her so much! :)
- I MADE IT THROUGH THE WEEK! Honestly, Friday night was wonderful because I essentially just went home, ordered Comcast internet and the renters insurance, and went to sleep.
I think that about covers my week. As you can tell, it’s been absolutely crazy, and the strangest things happened, but God helped me through it all. Actually, it was really wonderful for me to just step back at certain points in the madness and just thank God for the good things in my life and ask his help for the things I couldn’t control.
As for now, I am ready to collapse into sleep again, but I think I’ll go finish my new headboard for my apartment since tomorrow I’ll be busy mattress shopping. Happy Father’s Day tomorrow to all of your fathers- and mine too!
Lastly, for some reason, I’ve been drawn to a lot of music by Pink this week… As I was listening, I was surprised to realize that I actually know a lot more of her music than I thought I did- I didn’t know she’s had so many hits! Here’s one of her singles that you may not have heard… It’s pretty catchy, and it kind of captures a lot of what you think about when you like someone and even though you probably shouldn’t, you just can’t stop liking them, and you wish something would happen... all the while going absolutely crazy! XD Enjoy!
Here’s to a better week and hopes that you all had a much better week than I did! :)
Pink- “It’s All Your Fault”

Wow, what a week! I hope next week goes better, and I'm glad the bad things this week at least brought you closer to God. Way to look on the bright side. =)
P.S. I really enjoy your music recommendations each week. My playlist thanks you.

Thanks guys! Currently the apartment is pretty bare, but once I bring back a few more things, it'll start looking better :) I'm unpacked now, but my desk is still not assembled... I'll take pictures either when I bring my camera from home or when I buy a new camera (on my to-do list). | http://adventurechronicles.weebly.com/blog-archives-2012-2013/i-feel-so-grown-up | 1,653,034,045 | null |
When they say that the DJ makes or breaks a party they aren't kidding! We used 1, 2 Step Entertainment and my guests were on the dance floor all night, they even got my 85 year old Grandpa on the dance floor to a fast song! They have this great online wedding planner where you pick your songs that you want to hear and the ones that you don't want to hear. This is great because i could log in at 2 am in the morning when i couldn't sleep and pick some of our songs that we wanted to hear. They offer unlimited meetings to the bride and groom free of charge! They have a great set up, and they DIDN'T advertise their company name like I have seen at other weddings, how tacky! My guests are still talking about how great the DJ was and some of my friends that are getting married canceled their DJs and are now using 1, 2 Step Entertainment. I will NEVER use another company again! If you want your wedding to be the event of the year you HAVE to use 1, 2 Step Entertainment, I can't say enough good things about them!

Cakes/Candies
We got our cake through Papa Joes after numerous recommendations. We sat down with Chef Ken and were informed that they only do 1 cake a day and that it is made the day of your wedding, and that they will be there 2 hours before the start of your reception. Well imagine my surprise when I get to my wedding and the cake isn't even there, after numerous calls from my bridesmaids they finally rushed my cake over 1 1/2 hours into my reception. It was crooked, and the decorations were awful. They only good thing was that my cake tasted great. When i went in and spoke with papa joes they took 3 weeks to finally get back to me after numerous phone calls, and said that they would give me another cake for free for a bithday or something. I'm sorry but when i paid $1,500 for my wedding cake and they can't even get it their on time let alone make it look like they didn't slap it together in a rush i expect a little more. Before all of this we got all of our cakes through papa joes as well as our groceries, they have lost a good customer. If you want things to run smoothly I would not use Papa Joes.

Caterers
I was very dissapointed with Club Monte Carlo. The food was cold and hard to chew. They cleared the buffet before people were done eating. They made us pay more for bud light after they said that they had it, and then didn't even serve bud light. When I went to speak with them they basically said you can't prove it so there is nothing we are going to do! I would not recommend going with them! | https://www.weddingmapper.com/weddings/0wi1du | 1,653,561,247 | null |
Delio Rossi (born 26 January 1960) is an Italian football manager and former footballer who played as a midfielder. He was most recently in charge as head coach of Serie B club Ascoli.
Playing career
Rossi was born in Rimini. His playing career was not a bright one, as he reached his personal top from 1981 to 1983, playing in the Serie B with U.S. Foggia, where he spent most of his footballing time. He retired in 1989, after a season played with Fidelis Andria of Serie C2.
Managerial career
Early years and Serie A debut with Salernitana
Rossi, a sports science graduate with honours, took his first coaching job in 1990, aged 29, at Torremaggiore, of Promozione league, immediately winning the championship. The next year he joined Foggia as youth coach. In 1993, Rossi signed for Salernitana of Serie C1, and led the team to a Serie B promotion. After an unlucky comeback to Foggia, and a sixth place in Pescara, Rossi returned to coach Salernitana in 1997, leading the team to its second Serie A promotion in history. Rossi guided the team in Serie A too, but was fired in March 1999, as he was unable to lead Salernitana out of the relegation positions.
Minor teams in Serie A and Serie B
A troubled year in Genoa and a poor comeback to Pescara were followed by three seasons with Lecce. Rossi, appointed as Lecce's coach in February 2002, was not able to avoid relegation to Serie B, but led the team back to Serie A just the next season, and maintained a place in the division the next year. He left Lecce in 2004 to be replaced by his maestro Zděnek Zeman, who was head coach at Foggia during Rossi's times in leading its youth team.
In December 2004, Rossi replaced Andrea Mandorlini at the helm of Atalanta B.C., last-placed in Serie A. Despite all his efforts and numerous praises, Rossi was not able to let his team escape from relegation.
Lazio
Despite not saving Atalanta, his good efforts at the helm of the Dea club gained interest from Lazio, who appointed him as replacement for Giuseppe Papadopulo.
His time at Lazio has been a remarkable success for which he has aroused interest from many top Serie A clubs. Rossi guided Lazio to a surprising UEFA Cup place in the 2005–2006 season, only for the place to be lost as part of the Calciopoli scandal that rocked the country in the summer of 2006. Even more remarkable, however, was Rossi's feat the following season. Despite an initial 11-point points deduction (which was subsequently reduced to 3 on appeal), Rossi guided the biancocelesti to an unlikely third place Serie A finish and a place in the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League. However, during the 2007–08 season, he led Lazio to a disappointing 12th-place finish.
On 13 May 2009, Rossi led Lazio to their first trophy since the Coppa Italia triumph in 2004. It was also a Coppa Italia victory, which came after a successful penalty shootout against Sampdoria. On 8 June 2009, Delio Rossi was announced to have left Lazio because of personal reasons allegedly linked to an unstable working relationship with chairman Claudio Lotito. He was replaced by Davide Ballardini.
Palermo
On 23 November 2009, Rossi returned into management as new head coach of Palermo, replacing Walter Zenga at the helm of the rosanero.[2] He immediately managed to turn the fortunes of Palermo, guiding the Sicilians to quickly rise up the Serie A league table also thanks to surprise results such as two 2–0 away win against teams such as AC Milan and Juventus, and ending the season in fifth place with only one point behind fourth-placed Sampdoria who were admitted to the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round at the rosanero's expense. He was consequently confirmed as head coach of Palermo for the 2010–11 season, during which he also guided the club in its 2010–11 UEFA Europa League campaign. Impressive results in the new season included another impressive win at Juventus' home, as well as his abilities in launching youngsters as Javier Pastore, Ezequiel Muñoz, Josip Iličić and Armin Bačinović.
Rossi was sacked on 28 February 2011 by club president Maurizio Zamparini following a record 0–7 home loss to Udinese; he was replaced by Serse Cosmi.[3] However, Rossi returned at Palermo only four weeks later, after Cosmi's Palermo side was soundly defeated by Catania in the Sicilian derby later on 3 April.[4] Following a surprising comeback, he led the club to the Coppa Italia final which the 3–1 defeat by Internazionale. During the pre-season, on 1 June 2011, Rossi resigned as Palermo manager by mutual consent with president Zamparini.
Fiorentina
On 7 November 2011, Rossi returned into management as new head coach of Serie A club Fiorentina, replacing Siniša Mihajlović, dismissed because of poor results. Rossi's debut match as Fiorentina boss ended in a 0–0 home draw against incumbent champions Milan. Afterwards, Fiorentina lost 2–0 to Delio's former club Palermo. He later beat Empoli 2–1 in the Coppa Italia. In the following weeks, he put Fiorentina up to 10th place in Seria A after they beat Roma 3–0. The following games however saw Fiorentina dropping into the table down to 17th place at some point, and thus involved in the fight to escape relegation.
Rossi's time with Fiorentina ended in shocking fashion. On 2 May 2012, during a home game against 19th-placed Novara, Rossi decided to substitute Serbian striker Adem Ljajić in the 32nd minute with Fiorentina losing 0–2. The player sarcastically applauded the substitution as he left the pitch and further gave the coach a sarcastic thumbs up from the dugout, to which Rossi reacted by physically assaulting Ljajić, pushing the youngster from above, then jumping after him into the dugout while attempting to punch him.[5] After the game (ended in a 2–2 draw), the club board announced to have immediately removed Rossi from his position due to his actions, with two games still to go in the league season.[6] The incident also cost him a three-month ban from Italian football, effective from 3 May 2012.[7]
Sampdoria
Rossi was appointed head coach of Sampdoria in December 2012 to replace Ciro Ferrara, becoming the seventh coach to work with both Genoa and Sampdoria. During his coaching tenure with the club, Rossi helped the Blucerchiati avoid relegation at the end of the 2012–13 Serie A season. On 11 November 2013, Rossi was sacked from his post, with Sampdoria in 18th position in the Serie A table having earned just 9 points and won only twice in 12 Serie A matches during the 2013–14 Serie A season.[8] Sampdoria had lost its last three Serie A matches, including a 2–1 defeat at Fiorentina on the day of Rossi's dismissal. Rossi hinted after the Fiorentina defeat that ‘trust’ between himself and the club was becoming an issue. “If there is a time where you do not feel that the trust is there, you should not wait to see how things unfold. I am a man of the world and I think that if the confidence is there, then it is normal that one continues, but if it is not, then it is better to end the rapport regardless of the results,” he said. [9]
Bologna
On 4 May 2015, Rossi was named the new manager of Bologna in Serie B replacing Diego López.[10] He guided Bologna to win the promotion playoffs, defeating Pescara in the finals, and was confirmed for the club's successive Serie A campaign.
He was sacked by Bologna on 28 October 2015 after a string of negative results.[11]
Levski
On 4 August 2017, Rossi was announced as the new head coach of Bulgarian club Levski Sofia. He was presented at a press conference a few days later, on 8 August 2017.[12] After a string of 6 matches without victory, losing the final of the Bulgarian Cup and also a shock exit from Europa League at the hands of FC Vaduz, Rossi was released from his duties on 25 July 2018.[13]
Return to Palermo
On 24 April 2019, he was appointed Palermo manager for his second time.[14] After failing to win automatic promotion to Lecce in his four games in charge, Palermo was subsequently excluded from the subsequent promotion playoffs due to financial irregularities, and he was later not confirmed by the new ownership.
Ascoli
On 29 November 2020 he was named new head coach of Serie B club Ascoli.[15] He was however sacked only less than a month later, on 22 December, after having achieved only one point in six games in charge.[16]

I don't think it's well known, but there is Toshogu Shrine in Ueno Park as well. When I say Toshogu Shrine, I imagine it's in Nikko, but there is one in Ueno. Ieyasu Tokugawa is also enshrined in Toshogu Shrine in Ueno Park, just because it is called Toshogu Shrine. However, I heard that not only Ieyasu but also Yoshimune and Keiki are enshrined here. It is very interesting that the first and last shoguns of the Tokugawa shogunate are enshrined together. Even after becoming a god, I'm worried that Keiki might be scolded by Ieyasu.
The gate of Ueno Toshogu stands quietly in a corner of Ueno Park. As I stood in front of the gate, I saw a man entering through the gate. The man's figure was silhouetted. | https://awazo.com/article/silhouette_on_the_other_side_o.html | 1,653,023,898 | null |
Yeah, I could have gone around New Orleans only looking for all of this kind of stuff. The climate and the lingering legacy of Katrina mean there's plenty of "feral" architecture. But what amazed me about New Orleans (as a Detroiter) is that when you pan back from this sort of thing, it's hard not to include someone working to make the city better. Like here, where a group of workers were rehabbing what they told me was a community center for a non profit:
Riding a bike all around the city, I was so impressed by the sounds of hammers and power saws everywhere I went, even in some of the worst areas, where the sounds of rehabbing buildings mingled with the calls of wild roosters. | http://www.sweetjuniperphoto.com/2011/04/zoomwide-new-orleans.html | 1,653,805,232 | 1,639,273,446 |
From Wikipedia: The Bombay is a highly social breed that loves to be in the company of others. Bombays tend to be attached to their families and crave attention, and for this reason this breed is highly suitable for children. Bombay cats are not independent. They seek attention from their owners and people around them often and dislike being left alone for extended periods of time. Although they like to be around people generally, Bombay Cats also tend to have a certain person whom they pay special attention to in their lives. Overall, the Bombay breed is intelligent, playful, and attention-seeking. They tend to get along well with other cats, as they have an established pecking order in the household. They have a very distinctive purr and love to snuggle. If any of you out there own a Bombay we’d love for you to send in any pictures and stories you might have. In the meantime we hope that you enjoy our wonderful photo gallery of some of the cutest Bombay kittens that we could find.

I try to live a “detox” life daily by staying well hydrated, using an infrared sauna, and getting 7 hours of restorative sleep. When I need a boost I will increase my brassica family vegetables, lightly steamed or raw. Broccoli, cauliflower, mustard greens, collard greens and brussels sprouts all lead to the production of sulforoaphane and boost glutathione, the master antioxidant and natural detoxifier.
– Dr. Joel Kahn, mbg class instructor and author of The Whole Heart Solution
Brazil Nuts
I like to put at least 3 brazil nuts in my smoothie every morning. Brazil nuts are a natural source of selenium, which helps my body manage heavy metals, like mercury.
– Dr. Ellen Vora, holistic psychiatrist and mbg class instructor
Parsley and Celery
Parsley and celery are two foods with some of the highest naturally occurring levels of apigenin. Apigenin has been shown to have an anti-carcinogenic affect on leukemia and breast cancer cells. It has also been shown in scientific studies to increase the growth of new brain cells, and therefore might have implications in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Apigenin has also been shown to have immune-modulating activity that can be applied to hyper-reactive immune system disorders like autoimmunity and allergies.
Parsley has also been shown to help your body detoxify from heavy metals like mercury, lead, and arsenic. These metals are prevalent in our soil and foods, and we are all regularly exposed to them. Adding something like parsley to your diet can help counter the absorption of these metals into your body’s tissues.
Celery also contains chemicals called phthalides which have been shown to improve cholesterol and blood pressure, leading to decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.
So whether you are add these two super foods to your smoothie in the morning, eat celery sticks dipped in almond butter or hummus as a snack, or add chopped parsley to any meal at all, you’ll be doing yourself a huge favor by making them staples in your diet!
– Dr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley Health and mbg class instructor
Apple Cider Vinegar
My favorite detoxifying drink is apple cider vinegar, with lemon. I actually don’t like to eat real food until later in the day so that I give the GI tract a good amount of time to heal, rest and reset. I calculate 12-15 hours from my last meal or drink. Once I do eat, I include a meal that does not contain gut irritants like sugar, grains, or dairy. My fave is spicy Brussels sprouts, avocado and a vegetable soup.

Leafy Greens & Sulfur Rich Vegetables
Make your life a detox. On a daily basis do something that supports healthy detoxification pathways. One of my favorite ways to do this is to support methylation. Methylation is a big biochemical process that happens more than 1 billion times a second in your body and does many important things to keep you healthy, one of those is detoxification.
Some simple ways I make my life a detox and support those methylation pathways is to focus on eating more green leafy vegetables and sulfur rich vegetables like onions and garlic.
I also love adding cilantro and dandelion to my green juices to give them extra cleansing properties.

Reishi Mushrooms
Not typically top of your list when you think about detoxifying foods but this is the mushroom of immortality. Why? It contains the highest level of antioxidants of almost any other food. Reishi mushroom has so many health benefits from it’s adaptogenic properties it’s almost too good to be true! It’s one of those magical foods that can do it all. One of them is detoxification and improving liver function. The best part is they are safe, effective, and well-tolerated by most people. My favorite way to consume them is in powder form which I mix right into my morning coffee.
– Dr. Tiffany Lester, Medical Director of Parsley Health
Pomegranate
Pomegranates are at the top of my list for their enjoyable, crunchy, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, juicy seeds known as “arils.” They are high in fiber, protein, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and potassium – important nutrients for detoxification. But, possibly the most important, unique substances in the pomegranate that hold powerful medicinal properties are: 1) punicalagins – an antioxidant tannin found in the juice and peel of the pomegranate which is three times as potent as the antioxidants in red wine or green tea, and 2) punicic acid – the main fatty acid in the arils, which is a type of conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid that helps with fat loss and improves sugar metabolism. Just as important as its antioxidant capacity is the pomegranate’s incredible anti-inflammatory effects, which in one study on diabetics drinking 250mL of pomegranate juice daily for 12 weeks lowered the inflammatory markers CRP and interleukin-6 by 32% and 30%, respectively.

Anti-inflammatory Foods
I personally don’t like the term detoxifying food, as I try not to have toxins in my body in the first place. Instead I prefer the term anti-inflammatory foods, which are those that increase the diversity and abundance of my gut microbiota, prevent leakiness of my gut and reduce the amount of inflammatory substances reaching my gut based immune system and from there my whole body, in particular the brain.
These foods include different types of complex carbohydrates from various plants and vegetables, naturally fermented foods, and foods high in polyphenols, all of which are beneficial for the health of our gut microbiota. Polyphenols are large, non absorbable molecules which are taken up by the microbes which digest them into metabolites which are then absorbed by our gut, exerting their an anti-inflammatory effect. They are contained in large amounts in olive oil, red wine and berries. Turmeric contains similar anti-inflammatory, non absorbable compounds which act through our microbes. I avoid any animal fat, and sugar and limit the ingestion of meat to fish and organically raised chickens.
In practice, this all translates into a delicious meal of grilled salmon, served with vegetables roasted in olive oil, and a mixed kale salad containing avocados, fresh turmeric, sauerkraut and blueberries.
– Dr. Emeran Mayer, author of The Mind Gut Connection
Avocado With Himalayan Salt
My favorite detoxifying food is avocado, especially with Himalayan sea salt. Avocado is rich in vitamins and minerals, healthy fats, and fiber to help you feel full. The pink sea salt helps add even more vitamins and minerals, plus a zest of flavor. Avocados are easy to eat and digest (minimal chewing!) while providing satiety and loads of nutrients, and the creamy texture can also trick your brain into feeling like you’ve eaten more. Health wise, it can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. They’re also very important for liver health, and the liver is one of our most notable detoxification organs.

Broccoli Sprouts
I keep them in my fridge and eat about one cup per day when I’m detoxing. This counts as one of your servings of vegetables (always eat one pound per day) and provides more sulforaphane for phase one and phase two support in the liver. Among my patients, I sometimes see them detoxing too much. Remember your body is accustomed to periods of detox alternating with periods of retox. | https://theweeklychallenger.com/what-doctors-eat-when-they-want-to-detox/ | 1,652,929,623 | null |
After a truly dreadful month of weather in February, March is shaping up to be relatively warm. I hope you all have power back and are clearing away some snow and ice. The good news is that I’m shipping plants again, so keep an eye out for tracking notifications if you have been waiting (oh so patiently!). My deepest and sincerest thanks to all of you who have been waiting with understanding and without complaint. Orchid people are the best people in the world.
Dendrobium hercoglossum
During this crappy weather, there are still signs that spring is coming and the days are getting longer. I’m seeing lots of new growth on pretty much everything. Flowers are popping up all over, too. Every time you walk in the greenhouse, something else is open. And man, does it smell good in there! There are a lot of pleurothallids open, including a couple Draculas and a number of masdevallias–I’ll get those posted on social media when I can catch my breath. There are some Dendrobiums blooming, including the truly gorgeous Den. trigonopus. I just got some more in, and they are in bloom and bud. In fact, I just got a lot of stuff in from Thailand, so if you were sad to have missed out on some spectacular minis from the last shipment, check for availability again (especially Gastrochilus and Schoenorchis which went like hotcakes).
If it’s still too cold for you to spend much time outdoors (personally I HATE being cold AT ALL), it’s a great time to do some repotting. This is a perfect time to put some new moss on your Neofinetias and take a look at your other plants in moss. Sometimes just the top layer looks kinda scungy, but it’s worth checking. Moss loses its wonderful properties of water retention and airiness when it gets old. I have the super compressed moss back in stock–yea! I’m always amazed at how quickly plants respond to some attention and new potting material.
If you want to see what the greenhouse actually looks like, check out my videos on YouTube. I’m hoping to add more soon–after I get you all your plants! | https://newworldorchids.com/2021/03/spring-is-nearly-here/ | 1,653,622,253 | null |
Winspit is an old disused quarry on the coastal cliffs near Worth Matravers. The stone from this quarry was highly prized and used in various prestigious buildings in London. Some of the caverns are still open to the public but many have been closed for safety and conservation reasons.
Winspit Quarry is a disused quarry on the cliffs near Worth Matravers, on the Isle of Purbeck.
In the eighteenth century there were more than two hundred quarries in Swanage, Langton Matravers and Worth Matravers, which provided building materials for many of the major buildings in London. Stone was quarried from the cliff face and mined using caves and tunnels.
Winspit was used as a stone quarry until 1940, when it was turned into a World War Two naval and air base. After the war the privately-owned caves were opened to the public, although some have since been closed due to safety issues and in order to protect the Mouse-eared and Greater horsehoe bat populations.
Despite formal restrictions, Winspit Quarry is popular with climbers. There are numerous different facing walls interspersed with caves to explore. Fantastic views and a beach that's good for swimming make Winspit Quarry a popular place for tourists. | https://www.dorsets.co.uk/attractions/winspit-quarry.htm | 1,652,988,571 | null |
During the filming of a music tape of 1939 “Wizard of Oz” actress Julia garland, who played in the film the main character Dorothy, were subjected to sexual harassment by her colleagues. This was reported by the third husband of the actress Led Laft in his biographical book, “Judy and I: my life with Judy garland” (“Judy and I: My Life with Judy Garland”).
In the memoir, Led reports that the actors of the dwarfs, who played the Blue country Munchkins were over forty. They believed that no one will pay attention and did not punish them for this kind of leprosy. During the filming, the men would often put her hands under her skirt Julia, but Garlant at the time was only sixteen years old. These shots made her life unbearable, but after the release of the film, she received the youth “Oscar” for this role.
The book Led also says that kinobossy was given to Julia, then still a teenager, special drugs, so she remained slim and was always ready to work. In addition, the diet of the actress consisted only of chicken broth and coffee.
“They wanted so we worked day and night, and gave us some pills to remain on his feet around the clock” recalled Julie demanding shooting. When kinobossy wanted to give the girl to sleep, she was simply given sleeping pills because she can’t sleep she could not.
“What they gave drugs to children, was a big dark secret that was known only close to the Studio”- said in his book Laft.
Julia had gone to another world at the age of 48 in 1969. The author of the memoirs passed away in 2005, but the book of his memoirs, written by the author Randy Schmidt will be available only this year. | https://capelino.com/judy-garland-suffered-from-sexual-harassment-of-actors-with-dwarfism/ | 1,653,798,173 | null |

Quotable Quote “ The seeds of tomorrows brilliance are planted in the soil of today’s activity” John Adams | http://www.greatbaycoffeenews.com/about-2/571-2/ | 1,652,835,174 | null |
For the last few decades, the mechanisms governing the eukaryotic cell division cycle have been the focus of widespread attention, partially because of their central role in tumorigenesis. Proper regulation of the cell cycle and the ability to execute accurate checkpoints is achieved by a well-orchestrated sequence of events, which guarantee the progression from one phase to the next, culminating in cytokinesis and cell division. Despite the cell’s ability to oversee and correct unintended occurrences, occasional errors may pass uncontrolled, leading to catastrophic consequences. The canonical activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) by their respective cyclin partners is one such regulatory mechanism. We have identified major regulators that act on central nodes of the cell cycle in a spatiotemporal manner. In collaboration with Avram Hershko, 2004 Nobel laureate, who spent seven summer sabbaticals in my laboratory, we identified SKP2 as the substrate receptor of a CRL1 targeting p27, a major CDK inhibitor. We also dissected the role of SKP2, β-TrCP, FBXO1 (aka cyclin F), and FBXO11 in the control of other cell cycle regulators, such as p21, CDC25A, CDT2, CP110, claspin, EMI1, REST, RRM2, SLBP, and E2F family members. Moreover, we studied the regulation of centrosome duplication by β-TrCP and cyclin F, and the degradation of D-type cyclins by CRL4-AMBRA1. | https://www.paganolab.org/cellcycleregulation | 1,653,206,953 | null |

Joey Tavernese has become known around the city for his elaborate goal celebrations and Peter Pan spirit. However, alongside his love for the game lies an equally strong passion; giving back. With the opportunity to impact so many individuals through his role as a professional athlete, Tavernese has not shied away from getting involved.
Tavernese’s charitable inclinations were developed in his childhood home of New York City, where his mother instilled the importance of generosity within him.
“My mom is an absolute saint. She donates and gives to everyone and everything. She is an honestly genuine individual. We’ve lived at both ends of the spectrum whether it was on the less fortunate side or the more fortunate side. As I’ve gone along, I’ve seen people who are less fortunate and could use a little bit of help on the way and she was the one that helped me to realize the value of helping out.”
As his professional soccer career commenced, Tavernese found many chances to help out in the community including by volunteering in soup kitchens and with the youth of whatever city he played in.
Now with Utica, Tavernese finds himself fortunate to be affiliated with an organization that shares his love of giving back. Utica City FC is partnered with the Save of the Day Foundation which along with other charitable initiatives helps children and families facing life-threatening diseases.
“I think that life is a rewarding thing, and some have it better than others and helping others who are less fortunate gives a good perspective to all that you have been blessed with. If the players, coaches and staff give back to the kids, the community, and the fans, that makes all the difference.”
One particular charity event stood out for Tavernese: a futsal tournament in St. Louis to benefit children with childhood cancer. Upon going to the event for the first time, Tavernese met someone who did in fact change his life forever.
“In the first year, I met a girl named Keira(pictured at the left in a pink t-shirt) who had been diagnosed with childhood cancer. She was a great kid. She was always so happy and so energetic. She was one of the honorary captains that weekend, so I really got to know her during the games.”
After the tournament, she returned to another charity event that Tavernese participated in. While there, he realized the impact that she had on him.
“She made me realize that whatever is wrong or going bad in my life that it could definitely be worse, and I really learned to appreciate life. She had a lot of reasons to be mad at the world as a young girl diagnosed with cancer, but she was never upset when I saw her. She was always happy and full of life.”
While Joey continues playing in the charity futsal game each year, the person who taught him so much is no longer there. Keira lost her battle with cancer, but her spirit and appreciation for life will forever remain with Tavernese.
“I still have a bracelet with her name on it and the uniform from the charity game where she captained one of the teams. I’ve met countless other kids through the charity event, but she was the first and she really opened my eyes to the reality of life. It’s not always as easy as people want it to be and when little things go wrong in your day, it’s just a minor bump on the road to what will hopefully be a long life which not everyone gets to experience. She really changed my life.”
The passion that Joey carries with him to practices and to games is filled with an unbridled joy that few players his age still possess. This passion, undoubtedly, comes from the memory of Keira smiling down on him.

Amid a pandemic like today, an internet connection is a major need to stay connected with family and coworkers. Some telecommunications operators have increased traffic, mainly for broadband-based services. The same is true for companies that continue to operate normally during the WFH period, although not all employees are deployed. For example, the banking sector still requires employees to serve customers amid a pandemic. Internet networks in related offices must always be active, both at the head office and at the branch office so that the company’s system can still run optimally.
Apart from these needs, where the economy is unpredictable, companies must take strategic steps in managing expenses including in terms of corporate networks. To improve network efficiency, companies can use SD-WAN which can also be applied to WAN (wide area network). However, the selection of vendors or SD-WAN providers is an important thing that needs attention, so that the goal for network efficiency can be realized properly.
Tips on choosing the right SD-WAN vendor
One of the uses of SD-WAN network products is to connect company networks including branch offices and data centers that have large geographical distances. Broad network coverage, especially for companies that have branch offices in various regions, requires proper handling. This is where the role of the SD-WAN vendor is needed to overcome them.
Centralized Management
Networks managed by software will reduce the complexity of the underlying infrastructure. In its operation, SD-WAN offering such solutions must also be easy to use and manage. The system that regulates SD-WAN must also display connectivity that unites all company networks in full.
Orchestration
An effective SD-WAN solution must implement software-based orchestration and business guidelines established across networks, including hybrid WAN, Cloud, and wired or wireless LANs at branch offices. For information, orchestration here is automatic configuration, coordination, and management of systems and software. Simply put, SD-WAN vendors must provide automated services such as WAN optimization based on your business guidelines.
Remote Implementation
The cloud-based SD-WAN concept is needed because users are spread over great distances. Thus, the SD-WAN solution must have connectivity and orchestration structure from the management center to where the user is located remotely. SD-WAN vendors should also have the ability to integrate with existing routers to other equipment capable of providing fast and integrated networks optimally.
Network Visibility
Network visibility has an important role, especially in software-defined networks. We recommend that you choose an SD-WAN vendor that provides integrated tools and provides end-to-end visibility from end-users to the Cloud. | https://www.noisemonter.com/guide-to-choosing-the-right-sd-wan-provider-for-the-company.html | 1,653,202,642 | null |
“You’re still counting calories? That’s SO 1990’s….. Don’t you know that counting macros is more important?”
In all seriousness, now that the internet has become such a prevalent part of our daily lives, we live in a period of information overload. Particularly in the world of health and fitness, there is so much information out there that sometimes it’s difficult to determine what is accurate or helpful. To make the situation worse, we as a society are drawn to instant gratification and quick fixes, so we are susceptible to the latest fitness trend or celebrity diet. Fads with some marketable catch phrases gather lots of followers, but these followers don’t always understand what exactly they’re being led into.
This article is an attempt to clear up some common confusion about something we hear a lot about in the fitness industry: macros.
WHAT ARE MACROS?
“Macro” is a shortening of the term macronutrient. Broadly speaking, the nutritional needs of the body can be divided into two categories: macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The three sub-categories of macronutrients all have their specific roles in the body, and they all provide the body with calories, or energy. Therefore, the term “macros” refers to carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
While foods can be broadly categorized into a protein, carbohydrate, or fat based food, most foods do not consist of only one macronutrient. For example, most meats contain both protein and fat, and most vegetables contain (to a greater or lesser extent) all 3 macronutrients.
What is a carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body. Carbohydrates consist of chains of sugar that are metabolized (broken down) into glucose. These chains exist in varying levels of complexity, which require more or less time to metabolize – thus the terms simple carbohydrates, which metabolize relatively quickly, and complex carbohydrates, which are slower to metabolize. Glucose, the absolute simplest form of sugar, is the fastest source of energy for the body’s cells.
Carbohydrates are mainly found in starchy foods such as grains (including rice) and potatoes, as well as fruits and dairy products. Vegetables and nuts also contain carbohydrates, but in lesser amounts.
What are proteins?
Protein is what makes up most cells. Proteins are used to build new tissues for growth and tissue repair, and they play a role in most body functions. Protein can also be metabolized and used for energy when carbohydrates are not present.
Proteins are found primarily in meat, fish, poultry, and dairy. Proteins are also found in plant-based foods such as nuts and beans, and to a lesser extent, in most vegetables. Proteins from plant-based foods are said to be incomplete because they do not contain all nine “essential amino acids.” (For more information about Essential Amino Acids, please refer to this blog post)
What are fats?
While we have largely been conditioned to believe that fats are to be avoided, fats are actually extremely important to include in a healthy diet. Fats are essential for many body functions, including brain function, hormone production, cell regeneration, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K.
Fats are present in many foods, both animal- and plant-based. Not all fats are bad, but not all are healthy. In general, plant-based fats should be preferred, and common sources of healthy fats are avocados, almonds, olive oil, and coconut oil.
Fats can also be used for energy, both the fat we consume in our diets and the fat that is stored in our bodies. Gram for gram, fats are actually the most efficient source energy, with each gram of fat containing more the twice the calories than carbohydrates or proteins.
What are calories?
The term calorie is a unit of measurement of energy. Simply stated, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used for energy. Carbohydrates may be the easiest macronutrient for the body to use for energy, but fats provide more energy per gram.
Calories per gram of macronutrient:
Carbohydrates – 4
Protein – 4
Fats – 9
Consuming an adequate number of calories is essential for meeting our nutritional needs and achieving our fitness goals. Defining such a number is dependent upon several factors including age, gender, current weight, activity level, and genetics. Broadly stated, if we consistently consume a surplus of calories, we will gain weight, whereas if we are consistently in a caloric deficit, we will lose weight. However, gaining or losing weight is not always quite that simple, which will be discussed in future articles.
Why should I count macros?
Counting macros can be helpful in planning for consistency in both your caloric intake and your macronutrient intake. Of course, eating the exact same amounts of the same foods every day would ensure consistency, but not everyone is willing to do that. Part 2 of this article will discuss ways that one can plan for some variety in one’s nutrition, while still maintaining a level of consistency in terms of calories, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. | https://www.rexiusnutrition.com/blogs/rexius-nutrition-supplement-shorts/marcos-101-part-1 | 1,653,257,970 | null |

I think a good way to break down drills for an engine company is to break down characteristics of on plane, above and below grade fires and then keep the focus of the drill on a few things. In this video, it is an upper-level fire being advanced upon by this crew from below in the stairwell. Here are some things I have found that are worth discussing in quick drills around the kitchen table that help keep tactical discussions from devolving into opinion/confirmation bias.
1: Fire behavior characteristics. In an upper-level fire in a residence, upper floor fires are often clear up to that level that the fire is on. It is important to anticipate this fire behavior for a couple of reasons. First, you are in a great position in these fires to dry stretch to the stairwell as lower floors are clear. This can often shave precious time for us, especially in understaffed crews. The one caveat is that if there is ANY smoke on the first floor, for example, the dry stretch becomes very unlikely. Another reason it is important to have an anticipated picture of the fire behavior characteristics of upper floor fires would be that if and when you do find smoke on the ground floor, you should have alarm bells going off. Did it start in the basement and work up? Was it a fire on the ground level that traveled? Or one of the most common, was it an exterior start like a back deck fire that has worked up and into the building? Getting that read wrong and heading up the stairwell dry can and has spelled disaster for many companies throughout the years. You can have an extremely well involved top floor and will likely have clear conditions on the approach up to the last few steps. Coming up from underneath should be fairly easy as long as that is indeed where the fire is.
2: What is the exposure problem? Obviously here you can watch the fire develop in the common space outside of the room of origin, so you can have some great conversations with crews here about how the interior space outside of the room of origin is deteriorating rapidly. The big problem outside of the seat is the enormous amount of gas/gas flame accumulation in the common area and the room directly across from the seat. From a victim survivability standpoint, things are going south fast and we HAVE to get to them quickly. You can see the wall opposite of the seat take a beating for a few seconds before it starts burning and lights off the gas flame above the staircase. We are moving rapidly from pure convective currents being the driving force to now convective AND radiant/line of sight energy together insulting and degrading survivability and aiding in the spread. Once the fire takes the common space (is now uncompartmentalized) spread rate will start increasing quickly. Also working against the victims often times will be reduced ceiling heights that will allow very fast spread and will drastically affect victims because of the reduced cubic area and ventilation profiles. Although things can get bad for victims quickly up there, do not think for a second that spaces do not exist for people.
3: What is the fire attack plan? Once we confirm it is a fire that started and is working on the upper floor and knowing we will likely be able to stretch quickly to the inside stairwell, we need to get on our horse and go. This is a great video to show the space outside of the room and the beating the common space is taking. You can see that a fire attack that starts from the exterior on this fire when no delay is present (staffing etc.) would do very little if anything to affect the spread into the common area or adjacent rooms. The best hope is to attack from the protection of the stairwell so that the ENTIRE fire area can be covered by the nozzle, driving heat and smoke to the outside of the building, confining the fire and putting firefighters IN THE SPACES where the victims are taking the beating. The convective currents are not affecting the stairwell, only the radiant line of sight. We have the solution to that problem though that erases line of sight energy in an instant and that is an open nozzle.
4: How does the nozzle work this fire? You can see this nozzleman do a great job of starting high overhead and working the common area first before going to the fire room. Often times on these types of fires all you can see is fire overhead from the stairs. It can be difficult to tell which room or rooms the fire is coming from, so as you work the ceiling above your head, pay attention to where the glow is returning from. The fire rooms will keep burning until the stream is inside them, so as the fire disappears overhead, the rooms will reveal themselves so that you know your path of travel you need to take once the top is reached. Building construction identification can also help, like knowing if you are on stairs that are against an exterior wall or if they are in the center of the building.
Spend a few seconds in the stairs letting the water work about above and do not be too eager to move up too quickly. Half stories especially will remain VERY hot so a nice, slow push up will do you well. Once the top is reached, pause and ensure the common area is cooled and then direct the stream into the room or rooms of fire. The same principle applies though, take a hot second to allow the water to work in those rooms as you seal them off with your stream before starting to move forward again. Remember always that you are likely moving twice as fast as you think. Slower pushes remove more heat and hit more surfaces. Lastly, when you get the knockdown you need, hydraulic ventilation is an absolute must. The nozzleman should be ventilation minded upon extinguishing here to improve conditions quickly, and the second person on the line should not hesitate to search as soon as humanly possible. The stairwell will limit search crews’ abilities to search while the fire attack is happening, so often times the nozzle crew is the first crew to be in the space with the victims. The location and removal/isolation of the victims is CRITICAL. Look at how fast things get better here with a slow fire attack and rapid hydraulic ventilation.
Hopefully, your crews find some use out of the video, and a job well done by Ian Bennett, Jesse Ireland and Michael Gustafson putting on the burns here. | https://www.westcoastfiretraining.com/anacortes-floor-2-bathroom/ | 1,653,046,073 | null |

Well things are picking up steam for Black Lightning. After being announced that the CW has picked up its newest Superhero show by Greg Berlanti and Mara Brock-Alim and husband Salim Akil for a full season order, we now have a first look trailer.
The trailer which shows Black Lightning aka Jefferson Pierce (played by Cress Williams) retiring from the crime fighting lifestyle after being shot one too many times and making a promise to his wife to lead a normal life for the sake of his family.
Now with Pierce a high school principal and his daughters coming of age in the same school, we see his city being overrun once again by the street gang known as “The 100”. Throughout the trailer we see the creation of the updated and modified Black Lightning costume as well as Pierce’s two.daughters develop abilities of their own. This is an action packed trailer and has raised the anticipation for this new series.

The create_checkpoint function installs the packages referenced in the specified project to a local library exactly as they existed at the specified point in time. Only those packages are available to your session, thereby avoiding any package updates that came later and may have altered your results. In this way, anyone using the use_checkpoint function can ensure the reproducibility of your scripts or projects at any time. The checkpoint function serves as a simple umbrella interface to these functions. It first tests if the checkpoint exists, creates it if necessary with create_checkpoint, and then calls use_checkpoint.
Usage
checkpoint(
snapshot_date,
r_version = getRversion(),
checkpoint_location = "~",
...
)
create_checkpoint(
snapshot_date,
r_version = getRversion(),
checkpoint_location = "~",
project_dir = ".",
mran_url =
scan_now = TRUE,
scan_r_only = FALSE,
scan_rnw_with_knitr = TRUE,
scan_rprofile = TRUE,
force = FALSE,
log = TRUE,
num_workers = getOption("Ncpus", 1),
config = list(),
...
)
use_checkpoint(
snapshot_date,
r_version = getRversion(),
checkpoint_location = "~",
mran_url =
prepend = FALSE,
...
)
delete_checkpoint(
snapshot_date,
r_version = getRversion(),
checkpoint_location = "~",
confirm = TRUE
)
= "~", confirm = TRUE)
uncheckpoint()
Arguments
snapshot_date
Date of snapshot to use in YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. "2020-01-01". Specify a date on or after "2014-09-17". MRAN takes one snapshot per day. To list all valid snapshot dates on MRAN, use list_mran_snapshots.
r_version
Optional character string, e.g. "3.6.2". If specified, this is compared to the current R.version, and if they differ, a warning is issued. The benefit of supplying this argument is that checkpoint can alert you when your R version changes while you are working on a project; this can just as easily lead to reproducibility issues as changes in third-party code. Consider supplying an explicit value for this argument, although checkpoint will still function without it.
checkpoint_location
File path where the checkpoint library is stored. Default is "~", i.e. your home directory. Use cases for changing this include creating a checkpoint library on a portable drive (e.g. USB drive), or creating per-project checkpoints. The actual checkpoints will be created under a .checkpoint directory at this location.
...
For checkpoint, further arguments to pass to create_checkpoint and use_checkpoint. Ignored for create_checkpoint and use_checkpoint.
project_dir
A project path. This is the path to the root of the project that references the packages to be installed from the MRAN snapshot for the date specified for snapshotDate. Defaults to the current working directory.
mran_url
The base MRAN URL. The default is taken from the system option checkpoint.mranUrl, or if this is unset, Currently checkpoint 1.0 does not support local MRAN mirrors.
scan_now
If TRUE, scans for packages in the project folder (see 'Details'). If FALSE, skips the scanning process. Set this to FALSE if you only want to create the checkpoint subdirectory structure.
scan_r_only
If TRUE, limits the scanning of project files to R scripts only (those with the extension ".R").
scan_rnw_with_knitr
If TRUE, scans Sweave files (those with extension ".Rnw") with knitr::knitr, otherwise with utils::Stangle. Ignored if scan_r_only=TRUE.
scan_rprofile
if TRUE, includes the ~/.Rprofile startup file in the scan. See Startup.
force
If TRUE, suppresses the confirmation prompt if create_checkpoint is run with project directory set to the user home directory.
log
If TRUE, writes logging information (mostly the output from the methods of to the checkpoint directory.
num_workers
The number of parallel workers to use for installing packages. Defaults to the value of the system option Ncpus, or if this is unset, 1.
config
A named list of additional configuration options to pass to See 'Configuration' below.
prepend
If TRUE, adds the checkpoint directory to the beginning of the library search path. The default is FALSE, where the checkpoint directory replaces all but the system entries (the values of .Library and .Library.site) in the search path; this is to reduce the chances of accidentally calling non-checkpointed code. See .libPaths.
confirm
For delete_checkpoint and delete_all_checkpoints, whether to ask for confirmation first.
Value
These functions are run mostly for their side-effects; however create_checkpoint invisibly returns an object of class if scan_now=TRUE, and NULL otherwise. checkpoint returns the result of create_checkpoint if the checkpoint had to be created, otherwise NULL.
Configuration
The pkgdepends package which powers checkpoint allows you to customise the installation process via a list of configuration options. When creating a checkpoint, you can pass these options to pkgdepends via the config argument. A full list of options can be found at pkgdepends::pkg_config; note that create_checkpoint automatically sets the values of cran-mirror, library and r-version.
One important use case for the config argument is when you are using Windows or MacOS, and the snapshot date does not include binary packages for your version of R. This can occur if either your version of R is too old, or the snapshot date is too far in the past. In this case, you should specify to get checkpoint to download the source packages instead (and then compile them locally). Note that if your packages include C, C++ or Fortran code, you will need to have the requisite compilers installed on your machine.
Last accessed date
The create_checkpoint and use_checkpoint functions store a marker in the snapshot folder every time the function gets called. This marker contains the system date, thus indicating the the last time the snapshot was accessed.
Details
create_checkpoint creates a local library (by default, located under your home directory) into which it installs copies of the packages required by your project as they existed on CRAN on the specified snapshot date. To determine the packages used in your project, the function scans all R code (.R, .Rmd, .Rnw, .Rhtml and .Rpres files) for library and require statements, as well as the namespacing operators :: and :::.
create_checkpoint will automatically add the rmarkdown package as a dependency if it finds any Rmarkdown-based files (those with extension .Rmd, .Rpres or .Rhtml) in your project. This allows you to continue working with such documents after checkpointing.
Checkpoint only installs packages that can be found on CRAN. This includes third-party packages, as well as those distributed as part of R that have the "Recommends" priority. Base-priority packages (the workhorse engine of R, including utils, graphics, methods and so forth) are not checkpointed (but see the r_version argument above).
The package installation is carried out via the pkgdepends package, which has many features including cached downloads, parallel installs, and comprehensive reporting of outcomes. It also solves many problems that previous versions of checkpoint struggled with, such as being able to install packages that are in use, and reliably detecting the outcome of the installation process.
use_checkpoint modifies your R session to use only the packages installed by create_checkpoint. Specifically, it changes your library search path via .libPaths() to point to the checkpointed library, and then calls use_mran_snapshot to set the CRAN mirror for the session.
checkpoint is a convenience function that calls create_checkpoint if the checkpoint directory does not exist, and then use_checkpoint.
delete_checkpoint deletes a checkpoint, after ensuring that it is no longer in use. delete_all_checkpoints deletes all checkpoints under the given checkpoint location.
uncheckpoint is the reverse of use_checkpoint. It restores your library search path and CRAN mirror option to their original values, as they were before checkpoint was loaded. Call this before calling delete_checkpoint and delete_all_checkpoints. | https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/checkpoint/versions/1.0.1/topics/checkpoint | 1,653,217,621 | null |

A few years back, these song lyrics captured my heart. While listening to “O Holy Night” the words became experiential for me, they came alive. In this season of advent, we are in a period of waiting. Advent is the time where we wait for the coming of Jesus. For a few years, I struggled to make sense of my faith journey. I walked away confused and wanting answers. What I found from a few years dangling, hanging in the dark, is that the faith journey is about connection- to God, a loving source of newness and love, wanting the very best for us. When we keep the spiritual journey “in our heads” it remains lifeless, not often leading to the kind of change in our lives we are capable of. When we open our hearts to loving-grace, a God that desires wounds to be healed, we are moved out of the habits and self-stories that don’t serve us on a path to renewal.
What I find in this time of year is that rather than experiencing joy- in the faith journey, in close relationships- many people are experiencing pain. In my work I see people struggling to repair strained relationships, struggling to find their own life path, hoping to heal old wounds that still keep them trapped to this day. So, in light of the song lyrics that birthed newness in my own life, I want to offer a Christmas prayer. Read this prayer slowly and allow the words to sink to the deepest parts of your heart: | https://www.rootedtofly.com/post/his-law-is-love-and-his-gospel-is-peace-an-advent-prayer-of-hope-and-renewal | 1,652,704,457 | null |

Shaving has always been a tradition – facial management has claimed to be a regular procedure all the way back in the copper age! (3000 BC). It has been found that even Egyptian priests and Alexander The Great encouraged personal hygiene in their campaigns.
It was recorded that shavers in England were first manufactured in Sheffield in the 1700s, but their popularity in England did not rise exceptionally until the peak of the Industrial Revolution (mid 1800s). At the time, shaver kits for men sparked a general encouragement for self- shaving, as opposed to visiting a barber for a regular shave. Self-shaving was considered convenient, more affordable, and quicker for the hard-working middle class British factories. Below is a breakdown of the components in a typical 1800s shaving kit:
1. The case - A container or box was designed to hold all necessary tools required for shaving, while still being compact enough to be portable. These cases were almost all rectangular (to fit all tools) and were made from light wood. Most boxes were quite thin, with dimension of around 8cm wide and 20 cm long. The box was usually about 5cm in height. Due to their size and expenditure, brushes were the hardest to place in this small box, and as a result, and alternative was to have bristles on the end of the brush.
2. The Cloth - A compact cloth was also embedded in the box, used to wipe excess shaving cream off at the end, and to open pores up before shaving.
3. The Mirror - A mirror was often fixated under the lid of the box so when flipped open, would be angled at the face. Kits that had a mirror were considered more portable, and may not have had as many tools as more home kits.
4. The Razor - Usually the standard grooming kit was equipped with a straight razor, but in the late 1800s they were overrun by the more preferred safety razor, popularised by companies such as Gillette.
5. The Ear Wax Remover - Yes that's right, a small bud like hard stick with a bit of a scoop on the end. This would serve as a tiny shovel that one could scoop out accumulate ear wax.
6. The Comb - a small comb was included to straighten the hairs of the moustache ir beard. Larger kits had one or two combs including one for head hair as well as the moustache.
7. The Nail File - OF course the grooming kit would not be complete without a small nail file. The more expensive and rare kits would have nail files with decorative handles and made of silver. The file section appears to last forever and in general did not need replacing of kept clean of nail shavings!
A number of popular figures who used shaving kits included Former Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court John Marshall, Napoleon, and George Washington.

Where did Croquet go?
16/7/2017
0 Comments
What is known is that the game traveled from Ireland to England around 1851. A Miss MacNaghten observed peasants in France playing a game with a number of hoops made of willow rods and mallets of broomsticks inserted into pieces of wood. She was very quick to make the game her favorite and introduced it in Ireland.
Walter Jones Whitmore was a man who loved to play games and create inventions and in 1860 took up the game of croquet. Being a cunning gamesman, he soon realized that there were no real tactics or any set of rules. So he certainly fixed that and in 1866 he began a write a series of articles on tactics in "The Field". Two years later in 1868, he published them in book form including his own hand colored diagrams. In that publication he also discussed different types of strokes that a player could try. His dedication to evolving the game led to his recognition as the “father” of modern croquet.
In regards to the playing field, in England they needed to find a ground that would suit the game. It was in 1869 that a large area of four acres was leased in Wimbledon. Although croquet gained a little of a following, in 1874 there was a decline in the game among women who felt it had become too scientific! Unfortunately for croque, also in that year a different game was patented called Sphairistrike that was in fact lawn tennis. This new tennis style of game then swept the country within a year. In 1875 a number of Croquet fields were changed to allow people to start playing lawn tennis. Then the Tennis trend was so popular in 1877 the club name was changed to the “All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club”. Then sure enough in July 1877 the first lawn tennis championship was held at Wimbledon. So goes the story that croquet declined in popularity overshadowed by the ever growing tennis industry, which today is one of largest money making sports in the world. At least I have a few original early 1900 croquet clubs and hope to see you playing my version of the game.

The Iconic High Wheel
2/7/2017

So why and when was the iconic large Penny Farthing or High wheel popular? And why was it so enormous? First off, let me put the sheer size of the wheel in context. A bike today may have a circumference of about 0.7 metres. In 1870, a Penny Farthing wheel was around double this size at 1.5 metres.
The primary reason for the wheel size was speed. In 1817s bicycles were new, and in some countries seen as a ridiculous and dangerous invention. Developments like gears, rubber tyres and light building materials were yet to be invented. However, for a few English engineers in 1870, it seemed the only way to achieve the greatest speed was to increase the distance covered per revolution of the bicycle pedals, and this meant upsizing the circumference of the wheel to a ridiculous amount. This increase in size and the timely invention of rubber gave birth to the Penny Farthing and its hugh iconic front wheel. It certainly had a much more comfortable and faster ride than the previous smaller wooden wheeled bicycles.
However, within only about 20 years, smaller chain driven wheels with pneumatic tyres were introduced and considered much safer. With the addition of gear systems in 1902, bicycles were very comfortable with adjustable speed.
So goes the story that the iconic large wheel was short lived due to the danger of riding such a thin and offset bicycle. You could say the Penny Farthing was pedalled out of the market! | https://www.sanjexseratti.com/blog | 1,653,099,927 | null |

Today we spotlight New Brunswick artist, Tina Sharapova. Tina was born in Moscow and grew up in a family where everyone liked to create with their hands. As a child she experimented with a variety of different handcrafts. It was as a child she made her decision to become an artist.
She studied at the Moscow College of Arts and Crafts majoring in carpet and tapestry making. After college she worked as a designer for a carpet company and was instrumental in creating the workshop studio “Donegal” which collaborated with a carpet factory in Ireland, founded by Voycey, a friend and colleague of a famous British designer William Morris.
Before moving to Canada, Tina lived in China and where she was impressed by the culture and the diversity of Chinese art. While she was there she experimented with doll-making, paper clay, and patchwork, eventually discovering felt art. She loved the similarities with carpet making.
Tina says this about working with wool, “It is a wonderful material – you can hold it in your hands for a minute and you will feel that your hands become warmer. Its fibers are soft but strong and can hold any shape. Wool clothes and shoes are lightweight and durable. They are the best to protect you from cold in winter.” She has now been feltmaking for five years.
Tina currently resides in Fredericton where she came to study at the New Brunswick College of Crafts and Design.
She says this about her adopted province, “I like New Brunswick for its nature and indigenous culture. I walk in the parks and try to transfer the scenery to my works. I explore how make trees grow and rivers flow, using wool and creating small pieces of art. I love fish and I make them in various colours and forms. As I think that traditional culture is a very important part of the modern world, I began learning about local indigenous culture. My next project will be inspired by this study.”
Usually Tina buys her felting materials at the college store. This spring she hopes to explore local sheep farms for fleece and wool.
Currently she’s not planning any exhibitions but her art will be on sale at Beaverbrook Art Gallery gift shop from March to May, 2017. In preparation she’s making more fish and small pictures that highlight the beauty of her surroundings. She is also making toys; she loves how toys made from natural fibres feel so soft and warm. | https://www.feltfeutrecanada.com/post/spotlight-on-new-brunswick-felt-artist-tina-sharapova | 1,653,011,554 | null |

May 3, 2021 | Five O'Clock Steakhouse, Stelio Kalkounos
This year, I wanted to do something special for the 75th anniversary of the Five O’ Clock Steakhouse. This restaurant has made it through so much in the last 75 years, and we’re now hoping to again make it through this epidemic safely and successfully without compromising our quality, efficiency, or concept. What a challenge !! “Supply Chain” issues for every category of purchasing has effected our operations, but we still have managed to navigate these hurdles. Despite our economic and logistic challenges, we maintained our commitments to local charities that are near and dear to our hearts at the Five O’ Clock.
For instance, in April, two non-profit organizations that do similar work were honored at the Five O’Clock Steakhouse: Broadscope Disability Services and Milwaukee Center For Independence For several years, the Five O’ Clock has supported Broadscope and their amazing mission, but this year, we felt it was important to support another neighborhood organization with a similar mission. These two groups support our communities in so many ways, it’s hard to chose a single category of service to discuss. One area of life that both of these group support is employment counseling services for adults with disabilities. They also offer a wide variety of training programs to help transition people into the workforce. In this way, they help others be all that they can be, so that these people can find their own way to contribute within their communities. Again in April, I directed a portion of the net proceeds this month go to support these two fine organizations. April is also the month we notice the weather in Milwaukee starting to turn favorable again. Time to get out of the house and let the Five O’Clock Steakhouse pamper you and your guests to an evening they’ll not soon forget. Hang around late for a nightcap in the Alley Cat Lounge on the weekends.
Over the years, I’ve developed relationships with leadership at the local charities close the Five O’ Clock to continue my commitment to community
The Milwaukee Rescue Mission is well known for it work helping homeless individuals re-gain control of their lives. MRM has been a part of the Near West Side community since 1893. MRM started as a group of Christian businessmen that organized to help homeless and alcoholic men on the streets of Milwaukee. Now it is more inclusive, but the mission is the same. The Mission does this work through it’s Safe Harbor program for men and its JOY House program for women. In addition to addressing basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, there are also programs focusing on spiritual rejuvenation and job training. Using the core values of Gospel, Love, Dignity, Community, and Mission Integrity, they have been transforming lives from their location at 19th and Wells for four decades now.
I fully support the good work done at the Rescue Mission and donated a portion of the proceeds in May to their JOY House and Safe Harbor programs. Also new for May, every table received a collectable 75th Anniversary Five O’Clock Steakhouse pen and a chance to receive a $20 gift certificate in a random drawing. Remember, parking is always safe and plentiful with their free valet service. Our valet is available Tuesday – Saturday, as it is complimentary, gratuity is always appreciated.
June 14th was Flag Day in the United States – a minor holiday that was first celebrated in Waubeka, Wisconsin in 1885. What a perfect time to remember our brave men and women in the armed services. In the month of June, the Five O’Clock Steakhouse will be helping two groups that helps vets – Milwaukee Homeless Veterans’ Initiative and DryHootch MHVI has programs to help vets meet life’s basic needs, like food and shelter. DryHootch operations begin with coffee shops where vets can connect with other vets. They focus on issues such as readjustment into society and tackling substance abuse, PTSD, mental health. Together, their aim is to make sure that no vets are left behind, after they return to civilian life. I value and respect the sacrifices that have been made by our troops and am committed to donating a portion of all sales every June to both organizations, plus hosting an amazing car show event !!
Many veterans who own their own classic cars bring their vehicles to show support and enjoy the festivities. It is an intimate event that the Five O’ Clock hosts every year. On Sunday June 6, from noon until 4:00 pm, come to the Five O’Clock Steakhouse to see some of Milwaukee’s hottest cars. American classics, muscle cars, and sports cars will all be on hand for your viewing pleasure. Stick around for a great char broiled steak dinner after 4:00 pm!
My “Commitment to Community” continues well into the end of 2021 and beyond our 75th anniversary !!

There’s only one answer - Terraflex rubber chippings - and you’ll find them flowerbeds, children’s play grounds and equestrian manèges up and down the country.
We’ve been involved in tyre recycling for many years and one of the reasons Terraflex high quality rubber chippings are so popular is the care and attention we put into producing them. Every Terraflex rubber chip comes from our own purpose-built shredding and refining plant. This means they emerge in a consistent size range (10-30mm), evenly coloured (where appropriate) and wire free. And of course we take extra special care with our children’s play surfaces. Terraflex meets ROSPA’s demanding safety standards and provides safe, bouncy surfaces under swings, slides and climbing frames. In fact, my grandchildren play on Terraflex and I wouldn’t trust their safety to an inferior product.
Versatile and robust
There’s so much you can do with Terraflex rubber chippings. Our play surface range is ideal for public areas such as play parks nurseries and it’s equally at home in a domestic play area.
Gardeners love our rubber mulch because it looks good, is easy to manage, retains soil temperature & moisture, repels pests and really suppresses weeds. The fact that it lasts for years is an added bonus.
Then there’s our superb equestrian range, the ideal surface for your arena or manège. Dust free, frost resistant and with exceptional cushioning qualities, Terraflex equestrian chippings have been proven to far outclass traditional silica sand surfaces in terms of longevity and value.
Try Terraflex and see for yourself.
Great value solutions
This website has guides to help you work out the amount of Terraflex required for your application, and clear information on how to apply it. But we’re only a phone call away and we’re always glad to help in any way. What’s more, we can even show you how to combine different Terraflex products to achieve the surface you need….and save money in the process! | https://www.terraflex.co.uk/about-us | 1,652,903,472 | null |
The rich volcanic soil in which Colombian Medellin Excelso Coffee grows produces a coffee that is very well balanced in aroma, acidity and body.

According to the World Health Organization, making sure patients take their prescribed medicines regularly and on time may have a greater impact on a population’s health than other specific medical treatments. This is known as adherence or “pharmacoadherence,” and means how well patients follow their medication plan after agreeing with their doctor to take a prescribed medicine. Up to 65% of people are non-adherent, meaning that they do not take their medication. This can lead to high blood sugar and serious health problems, both short-term and long-term. Taking a medicine at the right time and at the right dose can be challenging, especially for people living with diabetes. There are many reasons why patients may not take their prescribed medications, including medication side effects, peer influences, culture, myths and negative stigma. Fortunately, many new digital health technologies encourage people with diabetes and their health care team to work together to improve medication adherence. Examples of these technologies include smart insulin pens; smartphone apps; wearable sensors for telehealth; and easier access to diabetes education using video, text and chat messages. However, these technologies must be affordable, usable, and helpful. More work needs to be done, but the future is looking hopeful. | https://latinodiabetes.sansum.org/2020/12/09/medication-adherence-diabetes-health/ | 1,653,787,070 | null |

Mmmm...spinach artichoke dip. Who doesn't love it, right? I could have it probably every week, but my waistline would not like me for it. :) It's a classic comfort food, but sometimes it's nice to play around with an old favorite. I decided to try the same basic flavors in pasta form, and it was delicious! Why hadn't I thought of this before?!? It is a heavy pasta, so I would definitely recommend pairing it with a nice side salad and maybe a bruschetta. You could always substitute a 10 oz bag of frozen spinach if you are a little short on time, but I think using fresh spinach always tastes better. I hope you give this a try!
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
20 oz fresh spinach, chopped
16 oz bow tie pasta
2 Tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz cream cheese
3/4 C milk
3/4 C sour cream
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne
14 oz can artichoke hearts, finely chopped
1/2 C shredded Parmesan cheese
paprika, to taste
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach, in batches if necessary, and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool.
Drain the excess water from the spinach.
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Slowly add the milk. Then add the sour cream, lemon juice, salt and cayenne. Stir in spinach, artichoke and Parmesan. | http://www.familyfoodfinds.com/2013/03/spinach-artichoke-bow-tie-pasta.html | 1,653,803,177 | 1,653,554,307 |

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy originally created by Francine Shapiro, Phd. to treat people with symptoms of PTSD. Now EMDR is used to treat symptoms which have some root or learning in the past. These difficult memories are often the source of our negative self-talk and painful symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Every brain possesses the ability to digest negative experiences and transform traumatic memory into growth experiences. EMDR taps into the brain's natural mechanism for processing all memory.
As we sleep, our brains use Rapid Eye Movement (REM) to integrate useful information into already formed memory networks and forget pieces of memory that are not useful. REM causes the brain to activate and deactivate left and right sides of the brain in an alternating waves. We call this bilateral stimulation.
Disturbing events and general stress can interrupt REM, affecting not only the quality of our sleep, but also our brain's ability to process and heal from distressing life events.
EMDR allows us to access past negative memories and uses bilateral stimulation (tapping, tones, or lights) as patients work through their negative past experiences. Through EMDR, the brain is able to keep useful memories and heal from parts of those memories that are still harming us in the present.
While EMDR is a preferred treatment modality for PTSD, it is now utilized to treat a wide array of experience- related disorders, such as fear of public speaking, generalized anxiety, persistent depression, addiction, and compulsive disorders. | https://www.compassionatecorecounseling.com/emdr | 1,652,834,323 | null |

As we progress and move on from the last 18 months, the role of hybrid communication, and use of video content within this, is vital. While business leaders cannot be everywhere at once to provide in person training or communication, video content that has been localised to each region to reach employees both in the workplace and working remotely, will help businesses demonstrate that it values the entire workforce. Whether financial announcements, updates on company stances and policies, or training sessions, it is vital that video is part of the collection of tools used to keep all staff in the fold.
Over 50% of businesses are expected to operate on a hybrid model moving forward, meaning many are adapting long-term solutions that suit its workforce, whether it’s investing in advanced video conferencing software, or technology that ensures a strong company culture across the globe.
Despite the pandemic expediting the move to working from home, this only applies to a percentage of remote workers, and not to the 70% of this group in “deskless” roles. Technology remains vital to reaching people in these roles, ensuring that just because they aren’t sitting in a physical office space, they aren’t missing out on important business communications or training and development opportunities.
While creating the video training content is not a concern, a barrier that many businesses are facing is distributing content that will support the training needs of employees. Remote training organisations such as EduMe are making this easier for businesses to do. Its recent partnership with Uber provides training for driver and delivery partners to develop new skills that will support their personal growth and individual development into “micro-entrepreneurs”. The training has been rolled out across six Latin American countries, ensuring drivers can watch content in their language.
Businesses that are looking to distribute eLearning content are also looking to invest in technology that localises this content. In providing localised training, employers can see an increase in employee engagement, thus positively impacting ROI, with engaged employees creating a 20% increase in business profitability according to a recent Gallup poll. Investing in this technology helps to avoid huge translation fees, as well as removing the risk of leaving employees behind due to their location. By utilising artificial intelligence and synthetic speech, businesses can rely on its pre-existing training content to be effectively dubbed, in order to reach employees across the globe.
Deliveroo knows that when it comes to rider acquisition, it is important to understand your audience, instead of developing a communications strategy based on assumptions. While rider acquisition content in the UK market is mostly in English, company research demonstrated that English wasn’t the first language of the majority of potential riders. This insight allowed Deliveroo to develop a future strategy that focused on enhancing its communications process with new and potential riders who were more likely to engage with content in their native language.
Deliveroo intends to put localisation at the heart of its strategy, pivoting its focus from UK social media to reach potential new riders, to advertising opportunities on more niche platforms that it now knows non-English speaking riders are more likely to engage with. The team plans to focus on localising key content such as video for these platforms, ensuring cultural nuances are adapted, and the content provided isn’t just a static word-for-word translation, in order to build trust with the audiences. In laying out a clear strategy for engaging this new audience, the team will be able to allocate budget for this project efficiently and add localisation to its list of tools to engage with new riders.
The continued growth of Deliveroo is not a coincidence. By effectively using localisation to engage with its audiences both now and in the future, Deliveroo has created opportunities that puts its employees at the forefront of its strategy. If businesses look towards technology to effectively localise its video content, they are automatically taking the right steps to increase employee engagement, and ROI.

DAVAO is now more connected within domestic destinations as Cebu Pacific Air (CEB) launched on Thursday, July 27, at the Marco Polo Hotel Davao two more flights between Davao and the cities of Dumaguete and Tacloban harnessing over 10 million-strong combined market.
The airline, starting last Wednesday, July 26, is now flying three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) between Davao and Dumaguete and four times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday) from Davao to Tacloban and vice versa starting Thursday, July 27.
Department of Tourism assistant secretary Eden Josephine Davaid, in a statement, said with over eight million tourist arrivals in Mindanao, and Western and Central Visayas key areas (Dumaguete and Tacloban) one million combined tourist arrivals, the new connections will serve over 10 million tourists, both domestic and foreign.
“Plus we add Cebu cities and provinces 700,000 tourists and Masbate’s 250,000-strong tourist arrivals, endless opportunities await with this newly-launched route,” David said.
CEB corporate communications director Charo Lagamon said with the new routes, Davao’s position as one of the airline’s hubs in Mindanao is strengthened.
Representing Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang said these direct flights answer the market’s growing need for inter-island connectivity. The routes, he said, is reflective of the competitiveness and reliability of CEB.
“It will not only increase tourists and trade among three cities, it will make the residents closer with each other,” Dayanghirang said quoting Duterte-Carpio.
Davao City Tourism Operations Officer head Generose Tecson said the launching of new routes are a welcome development for all three cities.
“It opens more avenues for business and tourism arrivals, for Davao most especially. Being the gateway in Southern Mindanao, everyone going around has to touch base with our city first,” Tecson said.
Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo, for his part said, the city tourism offices of the cities will work closely to promote tourism in each city, thus, inviting more tourists.
“To cater the growing number of tourists, we will continue to encourage investors to put up hotels, convention centers to accommodate the people,” Remollo said adding Dumaguete has a bed capacity of over 5,000 rooms.
He added that with the air link between Davao and Dumaguete, connectivity between Mindanao and Siquijor will be enhanced.
The flights will be carried by the Cebgo fleet of ATR aircraft.
Aside from the direct Davao flights, CEB also launched flights between Cebu and Masbate, Zamboanga and Cotabato, and Cagayan de Oro and Zamboanga.
Dayanghirang, however, asked the airline to push more routes to and from Davao. One of the routes pushed is the Davao-Bohol air link.
“We hope to launch more routes to and from Davao City,” Lagamon said.
Go Hotels, a sister company of CEB also operates in Dumaguete, Tacloban.
Davao City as Mindanao hub
Lagamon reported that for 21 years, CEB have a seamless network (direct and connecting flights) linking Davao to six hubs, 37 domestic destinations and 26 international routes.
“We are launching 894 flights per week to and from Mindanao,” she said.
This year, Lagamon said, CEB targets to serve 20 million passengers. For the first quarter of this year, a total of 4.8 million passengers were already served by the airline amounting to P6.8 billion revenue, 55 percent of the total revenue are from domestic market share. | https://news.davaostart.com/july-2017/cebu-pacific-launches-new-flights-from-davao.html | 1,652,777,173 | null |

With Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, Los Angeles officials are preparing for the influx of crowds in Inglewood but they’re also ensuring safety measures are in place to combat a possible human trafficking situation. City officials, alongside advocacy groups, are warning people of a possibility of increased human trafficking during one of the biggest sporting event in the U.S.. In fact, campaigning for awareness has already started in LAX airport where information about how to get help was posted on screens in over 400 bathrooms. For the game itself, about 14 activism agencies, the LA Rams, and special agents will work independently to raise awareness and fight against human trafficking. And while studies have shown that there is no direct link between the Super Bowl and the increase of sex work, officials emphasize the difference between consensual sex work, and human trafficking and why it’s an issue.
“If a willing woman is consensually out there working for herself, that is a very different conversation than a 12-year-old being trafficked and what I’ve witnessed — while working with this community — is not adult persons, it’s minors.” Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez tells HipLatina. She adds “They are being preyed on, they are being threatened and they are being trafficked to do this most likely for a male adult to make him money. And that’s the difference. That’s what I’m concerned about.”
The Super Bowl’s hosting city usually always prepares for an increase in crime during the game, but human trafficking is a top priority because it can directly impact children and non-consenting adults. And while LA’s sex workers have argued against the influx of human trafficking during the Super Bowl, the “party, money, competitive” atmosphere of the game can bring out the worst behaviors in already disturbed people. In fact, in 2021’s Super Bowl hosted in Miami, a man was arrested for trafficking a woman across state lines.
Additionally, California is a vulnerable state because of the border with Mexico. California consistently has the highest human trafficking rates in the U.S., with 1,507 cases reported in 2019, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Human trafficking can consist of victims, including children, being forced into prostitution and domestic servitude; including janitorial work, hotel work, agricultural work, and strip club services. The Super Bowl, because of the crowds, the partying and the money it brings, can be a potential preying ground for predators. She shares that women of color and Black and brown youth are the most vulnerable.
One of the major aspects of this year’s Super Bowl campaign against human trafficking is to feature NFL players including Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Johnny Hekker of the LA Rams. The It’s A Penalty campaign alongside city officials and NFL players are tackling the issue by highlighting the fact that men are a large part of the problem. The point of the campaign is to hold men accountable and to ignite the conversation about the dark side of the Super Bowl and how men can also get involved to prevent it. “We need to take advantage of this audience. Even the NFL recognizes this is a problem and it’s a stain on the sport. The majority of the perpetrators are men so it’s important that men can call themselves out because if they are part of the problem, they need to be part of the solution” Martinez says.
Human traffickers tend to target the more vulnerable populations in the country including, Native Americans, undocumented immigrants, runaway youth, the LGBTQ+ community, and low-income individuals. Martinez explains how this is especially harmful to minority communities: “Black and brown youths are very susceptible to the preying of a predator and a sex trafficker. We, unfortunately, make up the majority of the foster care system. A lot of our kids are in the system and they’re not always being protected. They are easy prey for predators.”
Abusers and sex-traffickers use technology to communicate with victims using apps and websites to look for victims, get to know them and follow their daily routine. It’s because of the fact that they’re preying on the vulnerable that oftentimes, trauma bonding happens with victims. “Trauma bonding is an emotional attachment that forms between victim and abuser” Dr. Alix Sanchez, licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in trauma, tells HipLatina. “Often, when an abuser has been gaslighting and manipulating the victim, victims become more susceptible to believing harmful narratives of themselves. The internal voice becomes ‘I’m bad. I’m worthless. I’m not good enough.’ These hurtful narratives lead to experiences of hopelessness, self blame, anxiety, and depression” .
The Latinx community is especially vulnerable to human trafficking with most of the Latinx victims coming from the agricultural sector. Seventy six percent of victims were immigrants and nearly half of all victims were from Mexico regardless of immigration status. Human trafficking usually consists of a power dynamic and that also includes domestic servitude human trafficking. The abuser almost always has something to use against the victim. “A human trafficker will us anything at their disposal to keep their victim from getting help” Dr. Sanchez adds. “So, if you imagine someone who is an immigrant, who is trying to escape poverty, or if they are fleeing persecution, and they are being threatened with being deported if they get help, they’re going to choose survival. And so, trauma bonding, in many cases, is a result of trying to survive a terrible and unimaginable situation.”
It’s important to be mindful of the early signs of someone who is a victim of human trafficking. And with mental health still being a taboo in our community, we have a big responsibility to not invalidate a victim’s story or trauma but to instead, create a space for them. Dr. Sanchez emphasizes the importance of compassion in our community “It’s so crucial to be genuine, and to care, and respect trauma victims. It is important to recognize and honor their resilience in surviving such a trauma. Trust forms over time and so it’s important they learn, overtime, that they are safe again” She adds “Find people in your community, who you feel safe with, to talk to. But most importantly, those of us in the community who are in the position to be brave, speak out and speak up.”
So how is the city working to raise awareness? The It’s a Penalty campaign activities include hotline tags in 2,500 Ubers, the campaign film shown on American Airlines and Southwest Airlines this month, and — for the first time — the campaign will have a booth at the Super Bowl Experience showing the film. “We need to rescue women and children, most of them women of color and children of color, trafficked against their will.” Martinez says.

This clever design by Guy is very fun to sew. Right now I seem to be obsessed with anything chambray, denim or yarn dyed. This project is perfect for these types of fabrics. Having a sturdier outer fabric gives the bag the right amount of structure to hold it’s shape. Definitely one of the best details is the cute gusset that truly mimics the classic brown paper bag. If you peek inside you’ll notice it is flawlessly lined with beautiful seam binding. The cherry on top is the hidden magnetic closure.
So many possibilities for this cute bag. Some students suggested it would be a great gift filled with homemade cookies! For me, I’m planning a spring outfit with this as my clutch.
If you’re in Toronto, you can make one at the workroom this Saturday in our Lunch Bag class!

Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad is on the right track to being a digital bank with a human touch, with nearly half of all its’ clients embracing digital services for their banking needs.
Of Saadiq’s total client base, 45% use digital banking; and of these, 90% of their transactions are done digitally, via online or mobile banking, self-service ATMs and branch or branch automation.
Ali Allawala, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad, said the 45% adoption rate by Saadiq clients is very encouraging.
“This is because the latest World Islamic Banking Competitiveness report by Ernst & Young showed that Islamic banking users have typically lagged behind conventional banking users when it comes to adopting digitalisation,” he said.
According to the report, 38% of conventional banking users surveyed used digital banking, in contrast to only 26% of Islamic banking users.
This is indicative of the way Standard Chartered Saadiq has embraced technology to make banking simpler, faster and better for Saadiq’s clients, Ali said, adding that the Bank’s commitment towards being an agile, digital bank has also won Saadiq the honour of being named ‘Global Finance’s Best Islamic Digital Bank – Malaysia’ 2018 recently.
“Saadiq clients can perform a wide range of services and transactions without ever needing to walk into a physical branch. From balance enquiries and balance transfers, to changing their address or contact information – everything can be performed online via a digital channel,” said Ali.
Standard Chartered is also the first bank in Malaysia to offer a complete range of banking transactions via its mobile app, once the client has authenticated their credentials via Touch ID.
“We are also the first bank to enable Live Bank video banking for online banking. To become a next generation digital bank, we must start with meeting the needs of the next generation of clients,” Ali added. “I am proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but we will not rest on our laurels. Accolades are an honour, but we will never stop striving towards fulfilling our clients’ needs and being Here for good.”
Aside from Malaysia, Standard Chartered was also named Best Islamic Digital Bank in Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Global Finance win brings the total awards tally for the global Saadiq franchise to 35 since the start of 2018. | http://emag.live/standard-chartered-saadiq-embraces-digital-in-a-big-way/ | 1,653,063,367 | null |

Sometimes a song just hits hard. It doesn't matter your age or the amount of heartache you've experienced. For one young Parker McCollum fan, that song is "To Be Loved by You."
At a recent show, one little fan was caught on video singing his heart out in the audience. With his cowboy hat pushed back, the emotions on his face are on full display. At one point, he cradles his head in his hands before throwing his arms out pleading, "What in the hell does a man have to do to be loved by you?"
It's unclear which playground beauty broke this young man's heart, but he's certainly feeling it:
"To Be Loved by You" is McCollum's second No. 1 hit following his debut single, "Pretty Heart."
On March 12, McCollum performed in front of his largest audience to date at the Houston Rodeo. 73,000 fans were in attendance for what was a homecoming show of sorts. The Texas native grew up in the Houston area, which made the show even more special.
Up next, the ACM New Male Artist of the Year will be walking down the aisle. He and Hallie Ray Light are expected to be married before the end of March. McCollum told Taste of Country that although he hasn't been too involved in the process, he knows the wedding is on a Monday and the couple will use George Strait's "I Cross My Heart" as their first dance song. The rest of the planning has been left in his fiancee's hands. | https://b105country.com/parker-mccollum-to-be-loved-by-you-young-fan-singing-along-video/ | 1,652,693,484 | null |
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are designed to provide organizations with the tools and techniques so that they may better manage their environmental responsibilities.
Momentum QMS helps organizations manage and reduce environmental impact by not only allowing employees to monitor and maintain environmental objectives and targets but also to easily report, investigate and resolve any environmental events.
Moreover, the system uses a risk-based approach when evaluating any environmental events and helps employees to plan, implement and monitor corrective actions to ensure that the risks have been addressed.
ISO 14001: 2015 Section
Requirement
Momentum QMS
4: Context of the organization
Understanding the context, the needs and any internal and external factors (Environmental or Non Environmental) that affect the Organisation. Determine the scope and continually building, adapting and improving the OH&S management system.
Provides industry best practices and can be tuned to meet your organization’s unique needs and requirements. For example, Momentum QMS allows you to capture and monitor risks and opportunities (internal or external) that may impact the organization. The system promotes accountability, collaboration and involvement of personnel and stakeholders and yet is very simple to use and maintain.
Furthermore, Momentum QMS is an integrated platform where processes can communicate with one another and the system can be used to map a holistic view of the entire Environmental Management System.
Key takeaways: Flexibility and Adaptability
5: Leadership
Emphasis on top management to engage fully with all aspects of the Environmental Management System..
Documents such as the Environmental policy can be developed with consultation and participation of key personnel. Such documents can be distributed and communicated to the relevant people and acknowledgments and exams can be used to confirm their understanding.
Objectives and Targets can be set with respect to aspects such as Air, Land and Water and accountability can be set to demonstrate commitment and leadership.
Momentum QMS is a centralized software, however, the roles, responsibilities and accountability is de-centralized. This allows leadership to not only communicate, enforce and promote Quality principles but at the same time enable teams to work collaboratively to solve problems.
Key takeaways: Centralized Software, Environmental Aspects and Objectives, Employee Training and Document Control
6: Planning
Risk-based thinking and Planning
Risk assessments can be initiated at all critical decision points within the system.

Accessibility doesn’t need to take all day. And accessibility shouldn’t just be a box-checking exercise to satisfy paperwork requirements.
Ann K. Emery will share 10 quick wins for designing accessible data visualizations. These small edits can have a big impact for our coworkers, board members, and funders who have color vision deficiencies, hearing loss, or learning disabilities--and for all of us who are pressed for time.
For example, you’ll learn how to choose graph colors that are legible for people with color vision deficiencies (1 in 12 men that we work with). You’ll also learn why we’ve got to start removing legends (and what to do instead) and which software settings to avoid because they aren't accessible.
After we cover these 10 quick wins, we’ll practice revamping a graph together. You're welcome to submit your graphs or dashboards ahead of time for inclusion in the session! Just get in touch with the presenter at | https://washingtonevaluators.org/event-4193408 | 1,653,035,493 | null |
When you need a way to sell your home quickly, speak with home buyers in Dallas from Big Texas Homebuyers to find the right solution. If you don’t have the luxury to list your home conventionally and wait for the right buyer to find you, we can offer a faster alternative that will put cash in your pocket immediately instead of in months- or years. Contact our office with basic information about your property and we’ll make you a cash offer you can’t refuse; of course, it’s your decision whether you want to sell to us.
3 Fast Home Selling Tips From Big Texas Homebuyers
1. Keep more of the equity you’ve built into your home by selling to our home buyers in Dallas. A cash offer from our company means:
No realtor commissions or fees
No repairs or home improvements needed
No hidden costs
No closing costs
No long wait to find a buyer
We’ll take care of all closing costs and incidentals throughout the entire process, so you won’t have to worry about out-of-pocket expenses when you sell to Big Texas Homebuyers.
2. Selling a home through the traditional route means you’ll have to pass a bank’s inspection; in most cases, costly repairs and upgrades are necessary to prepare a home for the market. Costly home staging is often a consideration for homeowners who live in a separate residence. If you’re stuck with a home that won’t sell, we can make it possible for you to get out from under the heavy burden of homeownership, and you’ll walk away with cash in the bank to fund the next phase of your life. Call our agency at 214-444-9385 to get started.
3. We’re problem solvers. Homeowners throughout the greater Dallas area sell to us for many reasons:
New job in a different location
Unwanted inherited home
Paying on two mortgages
Too many repairs are needed
Funding for college
Paying for a dream vacation
Home in foreclosure
We can offer a hassle-free transaction if you’re thinking about selling your home- our home buyers in Dallas are honest and trustworthy, so you’ll have peace of mind doing business with us.
We Buy Houses in Any Condition
Realtors are typically picky about the properties they’ll list; on closer inspection, it’s easy to see why. Listing a home that needs major renovations or improvements will mean the realtor has little chance of finding a buyer for the property. With Big Texas Homebuyers, the condition of your home is not an issue- even if it needs multiple repairs, like a new roof, foundation repairs, or siding replacement. We’ll take all of the repairs into consideration before we make a cash offer on your home.
Think about the benefits of selling your home to cash buyers, then contact one of our home buyers at 214-444-9385 to tell us a little bit about your property. If you prefer, send us your communication through our website’s contact form and we’ll be in touch shortly. | https://bigtexashomebuyers.com/bloomfield-hills-realtor-329675/ | 1,653,610,287 | null |
