When it comes to repairs around the house there are certain jobs that we have to hire a professional to do the job for us. In such circumstances you would generally prefer to get someone good for the job. Someone who can be reviled upon to get the job done right. This is true especially when it comes to doing work relating to electricity. The consequences of messing up are rather steep so you really want someone who knows his trade to do the work. Through the course of this article I shall discuss some pointers with you which may be useful in finding someone suitable and trustworthy for the job.Regardless of whether you search online for http://www.westwingelectrical.com.au/secret-harbour or get recommendations from fiends and family there are certain things you need to check and be certain about before hiring someone. The first thing is to confirm that the person you are considering hiring is a licensed individual. In Australia each state has a separate license that needs to be obtained. You should also check whether said license is indeed under that person’s name. There are people who try to operate under other peoples licenses. Next is to make sure that they are properly insured. The work they do is highly dangerous, to them as well as to you.
You need to be sure that in case something goes wrong that you are protected. Worst case scenario a part or whole of your house might catch fire and burn down. You should also ask for references. If they have been around in the business for a while they should definitely have customers who have been satisfied enough with their work to recommend them to others. Make sure you get some details and actually follow up on it and call those people. This is something you have to do especially if you are going to hire an Casurina electrician for a big project such as the construction of a house or some major remodeling.There are also people who are specialized in this trade to do certain tasks. If you want a specific job done you should ask if they are specialized in doing that specific tasks. However keep in mind that such specialist may sometimes be on the expensive side. You should also ask for an estimate at the very beginning as to how much it is going to cost. You don’t want them to add additional hidden costs later on. Finally make sure that the person you talk to and get the details of is the person who is actually going to do the work. All in all in you need to be very careful when selecting someone. | <urn:uuid:fbb5b7b4-0ea4-4095-850a-7286b784496c> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://iceglue.com/commercial-residential-services/30/ | 2019-08-24T16:02:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.980533 | 505 |
Whoa Oh Oh Oh?: Reviews Of Recent Releases By Local Bands, Pt. 88
Redness - Killer Bees - not on label - 6 songs - 12"
This is a reissue of a 7" that originally came out in 1980 as the sole release on Non Records, to my knowledge. I'm not sure how official this release is, but it's cool to have nonetheless. I usually seem to see Redness listed as a "punk" band, but that's really not the case. It's maybe art-punk and there are a few tracks that could definitely be called no wave, but it's more of an experimental, artsy, DIY kinda sound. The title track has a synthesizer emulating constant bee-buzzing over a jazzy track while a guy screams about killer bees. Bizarrely, it reminds me a lot of Fossil Fuel, and you can try and figure that one out. "Gran Torismo" continues the sorta art-jazz style with a story about the titular car while someone in the background does a ridiculous performance of "Dead Man's Curve." Now, as far as Cleveland "punk" bands with jazz influences covering "Dead Man's Curve" goes, it's not as good as the version by the electric eels, but it's still pretty cool. The last track on Side 1 is "Little Debbie," which is the first one you'd certainly call no wave or art punk. Continuing that theme, the first song on Side 2 is "Creme Rinse," which is punk but also bossa nova or something like that. It might be my pick for the best one on here. "Backwards, Forwards" goes back to the weird artiness and fades out halfway through one of the lines, which leaves me really wondering what it is he said. Finally, "Primitivjam," as the title implies, is a short instrumental noodling freakout song. I'm not quite sure what to make of all this, especially since the band is apparently a complete mystery. Is it serious? Is it a punxploitation kind of thing but making fun of a far more obscure genre? I really don't know. If you're into the weirder side of things, this is a good one to check out. 3.5/5
(Due to this release's dubious officialness, I don't know where the best place to get a copy is. Try a local record store.)

Yesterday at Voodoo, I carried a light jacket in case I needed it; tonight, I fear a light jacket won't be enough, and that we'll enjoy the pyro in Metallica's show for the excitement and radiant heat it generates. Hmmmm, toasty.
Here's where Team Milk plans to be today. For those who planned on seeing K'Naan at 3:45, his set has been moved up to 2 p.m., flipping spots with The Revivalists, who'll now play at 4 p.m. It's right on the schedule on Voodoo's website. | <urn:uuid:c10966be-d53a-402c-8c4f-5f77f0eb404e> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://myspiltmilk.com/tags/festival?page=3 | 2019-08-24T16:17:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.962039 | 123 |
New York City Council Testimony
Committee on Education
November 5, 2003
Jonathan Goodman, Professor of Mathematics
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
New York University
Let me begin by thanking the Committee for holding these hearings. I am a Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, which is ranked number one nationally in applied mathematics. I co founded the Courant Institute program in Financial Mathematics. My two kids attended New York City Public Schools.
With all due respect to the organizers, these hearings are more a sign of what's wrong than a path to the solution. These hearings were convened to discuss whether the fuzzy math curriculum chosen by the Department of Education is best for our kids. Yet, all the panelists support this curriculum. Is this the world's only controversial issue with only one side?
In my expert opinion, and the opinion of the vast majority of mathematical experts in New York City who have examined the issues, the mathematics curricula and teaching strategies being implemented this year are far from the best possible. Curriculum decisions are being made not on the basis of expert analysis of the possibilities, not on the basis of scientific evidence from systematic studies of what works or doesn't work, not on the basis of what it takes to prepare kids to succeed in college and technical careers, not even on the basis of what is cost effective, but by an ingrown clique of educrats whose unscientific opinions are being discredited around the country, from California to Massachusetts, and whose last major stronghold, alas, is New York City. The sooner we follow these states and implement a rigorous curriculum and oversight process, the better off New York City kids will be.
I'm sure my two minutes are up. If you want to learn more, consult the web site www.nychold.com. Thank you.

Saab has signed a multi-year framework agreement with the U.S. Government, which allows the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines and U.S. Special Forces to place orders for up to USD 445 million (approximately SEK 4.2 billion) during a five-year period.
The recently signed framework agreement allows the customer to place orders for Saab’s AT4 disposable weapon system and ammunition for the Carl-Gustaf® recoilless rifle. A first purchase order of USD 83 million (approximately SEK 771 million) was released at the signing of the agreement.
“This framework agreement further strengthens our relationship with the U.S. Armed Forces, who have been users of our ground combat systems for decades. We see these continued investments as a clear proof that the customer values the flexibility and effectiveness of our systems,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab business area Dynamics.
The order was booked in Q2 2019.
Both Saab’s AT4 and Carl-Gustaf (designated MAAWS in the U.S.) have long track records in the U.S. Since 1987, Saab has delivered more than 600,000 AT4s, both directly and under license, to U.S. forces. The Carl-Gustaf system has been a program of record in the U.S. since 2013 and in 2018 it was announced that U.S. Army will acquire the latest version of the system – the Carl-Gustaf M4 (designated M3E1 in the U.S.).

Porcupine Tree In Absentia 180g 2LP
2002 Breakthrough Album On Limited Edition 180g Vinyl 2LP!
Remastered By Steven Wilson!
Includes "Trains", "The Sound Of Muzak" & "Blackest Eyes"!
Two of the most popular Porcupine Tree releases, In Absentia and Deadwing, have been acquired by Kscope and will be given reissues on vinyl, with new CD editions to follow later in 2018. For the first
time since their original release, they have also been remastered by PT
songwriter and frontman, Steven Wilson. The new mastering has considerably less
compression and limiting for a more dynamic listening experience.
In Absentia was the band's seventh studio album, first released in 2002, and was
the first in a run of 3 albums that for many represent the pinnacle of the
band's artistic achievements. It was something of a breakthrough for the band,
selling three times more than previous releases. Following on from 2000's
Lightbulb Sun it had a distinctly heavier tone, partly due to the addition of
legendary drummer Gavin Harrison, and was also their first for major label Lava
/ Atlantic Records. In Absentia features many of Porcupine Tree's most loved
songs including "Trains", "The Sound of Muzak" and "Blackest Eyes". While not a
formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial
killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, and observations of the modern world,
setting a template for many of Wilson's future songs.

FIBA U17 Oceania Championship logo pays homage to New Caledonia culture
Noumea (New Caledonia) - FIBA is proud to unveil the logo for the 2019 FIBA U17 Oceania Championship.
The logo of the championship paid tribute to the indigenous culture of New Caledonia which features the "Ridge Arrow", a strong symbol of the New Caledonian Kanak history.
The ridge is a sculpture carved in the wood of a Giant Houp tree (found only in New Caledonia), which adorns the roof of large ceremonial huts and embodies the chieftaincy of the founding ancestors of a clan, which in Kanak society represented the body of the chief and the antiquity of the origins.
The 2019 FIBA U17 Oceania Championship will take place from 19th to 25th of August, 2019.

Bassein is the westernmost part of the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) stream in Burma's Burmese deltas and flows into the Andaman Sea near the Bassein harbour.
Irrawaddy Flotilla Company steamships travelled the Rangoon-Bassein waterway. Bassein County became part of British Burma in 1852, and the steamship was an officer ship used by the Chief Commissioner of Burma, Charles Umpherston Aitchison, between 1882 and 1887.

Name: Rachel Smith
Astrological Sign: Gemini
Occupation: I'm a visual artist (acrylic painting/ watercolor), a nature photographer, and seamstress!
Which Goddess or Goddess Archetype do you most identify with and why?
I most identify with two Goddesses: Yemaya and Oshun. Seeing how I have a deep connection to water and aquatic life, it's befitting that I would see myself in these two Goddesses. Yemaya is the mother of the ocean. She invokes these feelings of self-acceptance, unconditional love, and nurturing for all. While Oshun represents everything I am now. She is romance, healing, magick (witchcraft), and beauty. Yemaya is who I aspire to be, Oshun is my present. Although, I don't see myself gaining Yemaya's maternal instincts anytime soon, haha!
How do you get in touch with/unleash your inner goddess?
Locking myself in the bathroom and taking long hot showers. Being in water, just opens this door within me that allows for my healing to take place. I'm pretty big on rituals nowadays so lighting white or blue candles and burning incense helps set the mood for my goddess to unleash. I can sit in the water for hours, talking to myself. Yes, I totally talk to myself just like everyone else. But it's more like I am speaking with my Goddess, my guides,my oracles, my mermaids, who are essentially within me. During these times, I hear their voices as if they are my own thoughts and it brings me clarity.
What is your Goddess superpower?
That's so hard, but I'll have to go with healing. Emotional and verbal healing. I've always had this ability to say the right words during the right moments, and in turn activating this spark within the people who listen. A spark that opens up something within them that's been closed for so long. I don't think there's a word for it but being able to speak these magical words that could help others. It's all the work of my Goddesses, speaking through me I suppose! | <urn:uuid:eeda98c9-a01b-4921-a96a-8bc08f7bfc61> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://www.thehoodwitch.com/blog/tag/yemaya | 2019-08-24T16:23:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.966859 | 445 |
Spicy Miss Jessica was asking for favorite Etsy shops last week so I thought I would post some of mine here and see if anyone has more to add.
Please don't hate me when I say I'm done with my Christmas shopping. I am obsessive like that. Sorry. It's just the way God made me. There are maybe a few things to pick up locally but for the most part, the major stuff is taken care of. This year, I tried to find as much as I could first on Etsy. I LOVE ETSY! I know you do too. It's amazing the incredibly talented artists that you can find there.
First stop, The Fig and Thimble:
Next is this sweet little toy shop located in the hill country of Texas, Hill Country Woodcraft:
Beautiful toys, baby gifts and personalized too! Can I tell you how much I love their stick horses, especially the ones with colorful yarn hair?! Adorable! You know, the one thing that annoys me about Etsy is that sometimes you find something beautiful and then find out it ships from Lithuania or the Ukraine. Grrrrrr argh. Well, never fear, because Hill Country Woodcraft is located in the great state of Texas and ships, well… from the Texas Hill Country. If you don't know what that is, I'm sorry. So very, very sorry.
And speaking of following people, if you follow this here little blog, you might also want to follow my brand spanking new Etsy shop that just opened, um… like yesterday. It's called Waltzing Matilda Makes…. So, what does Waltzing Matilda make? Not sure right now, just a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I have no big plans for it immediately. But I like the idea of having a place to offer some extras from the fun we have making over here (quilties, dolls, decorations) and maybe a place for Sunshine to offer some of her hand knitted creations eventually (she's totally stoked about that idea). There are only a couple of little items in there right now but I'm working on a few more. I'd love to know what you think of the shop and what things you might like to see offered there in the future. I make no promises!

Time Machine Jewelry for your favorite Doctor Who fans!

The Big Island
June 1, 2018
While the island of Hawai’i is the largest of the Hawaiian archipelago, hence its nickname, Big Island, it is also the youngest. Approximately 500,000 years old, the island was thought to be discovered first by the Polynesian voyagers of the Marquesas Islands around 1,500 years ago. The history of the Big Island is as diverse as its landscape- from the snowy peaks of the now dormant volcano, Mauna Kea, to the misty Rainbow Falls, to the rocky coastline made of lava rock at Honaunau Bay. The island is known as the birthplace of King Kamehameha I, and as home to the sugar plantations and cattle ranches that became prime industries in the 20th century.
To this day, the Big Island continues to uphold its culture, traditions and history, while providing a rich experience for visitors. As you learn about and experience all that the Big Island has to offer, check to see if you can use your HawaiianMiles card to earn while you eat, drink and shop. Since its beginning in 1983, the HawaiianMiles program has been awarding frequent flyers of Hawaiian Airlines with miles and other benefits for 35 years.
The history of the Big Island is as diverse as its landscape- from the snowy peaks of the now dormant volcano, Mauna Kea, to the misty Rainbow Falls, to the rocky coastline made of lava rock at Honaunau Bay.
Here are 3 places to learn about and experience on the Big Island, from Hawaiian Airline’s Island Guide.
- Puuhonua O Honaunau
“Meaning “Place of Refuge of Honaunau” this puuhonua is where ancient Hawaiians fled for safety or to seek absolution after breaking kapu (laws). Located in South Kona, Honaunau was the original seat of the Kona chiefdom and the ancestral home of the Kamehameha dynasty. A sign on Highway 11 points out the park’s turnoff.
Under a canopy of palms trees, this quiet, seaside site evokes a sense of peace and forgiveness. No commercial filming or modern-day beach toys, coolers, etc. are permitted. Sitting atop the lava flats of the Kona Coast, the 180-acre park is considered a sacred place with landmarks chronicling over 400 years of Hawaiian history.
Visitors can walk through the grounds and see stately kii (carved wooden images) surrounding Hale o Keawe, where the bones of 23 Hawaiian chiefs are interred.”
- Akaka Falls
“A short yet memorable trek, this trail allows visitors to view the remnants from the violent 1959 eruption of Kilauea Iki.
The half-mile hike features both a paved path as well as an off-road trail and begins closer to the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park entrance.
This route is laden with cinders from the 60-plus year old eruption that is just beginning to show new signs of life as grass and shrubs take root and flourish amid harsh conditions – one should be prepared for anything from blazing heat to torrential downpours.
When one takes a closer look at the ground, volcanic debris in the form of glass-like droplets and strands are present. These deposits are called Pele’s Tears and Hair and are named after the native Hawaiian Goddess of Fire.”
- Two Ladies Kitchen
“Those in the know make sure to visit Two Ladies Kitchen when they’re in Hilo (and they always call in their order first). The hole-in-the-wall mochi shop makes what some call the best mochi and manju in the Islands.
The Two Ladies and their helpers make fresh mochi, the Japanese rice cake delicacy handmade from mochi (rice) flour, and fill them with local delights like coconut and lilikoi (passion fruit). It’s high-end mochi, fresh and delicious, nicely presented and a great omiyage (gift) to take home to friends and family.
Two Ladies Kitchen is known for its strawberry mochi, which is mochi around a large, whole, fresh strawberry with a bit of sweet azuki bean paste. The grape mochi has a real grape inside, and, seasonally, you can order fresh nectarine or poha berry mochi.”
We are proud to announce that 2 HawaiianMiles per $1 spent can now be earned on your purchases of $11 or more at all 7-Eleven Hawai'i locations when you use your Hawaiian Airlines® MasterCard® or Bankoh Hawaiian Airlines® Visa® Debit Card*

2017 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 0-60
I need to say that sticker is essentially higher than I would have speculated. I was intuition something in the $17K territory thatd be a pleasant cost for say a youth searching for their first new wheels out of school or something.
It isnt so much that I dont care for the auto. I for the most part do. It has Golflike fastened Germanic taking care of and the 1.4liter turbofour is a decent one.
Incidentally is it truly called the Jetta 1.4 SE with Connectivity? How weak is that? (Ed note Yes. Also exceptionally.)
The inside feels enormous the secondary lounge is gigantic just like the storage compartment. It beyond any doubt is conservatively composed in there however and the materials are just so. There is heaps of hard sparkly plastic. The new Golf has a greatly improved looking higher quality lodge.
The previous 2.0liter base motor was planned around the season of the Roman Empire and its gone now this current autos 1.4liter turbo supplanted it. Its a pleasant minimal speedy revving and smooth motor with great quickening and high mileage numbers (the indash mpg number demonstrated I arrived at the midpoint of 30 on my drive).
Despite the fact that VWs most recent Jetta doesnt ride on the corporate MQB design its on the more established New Compact Sedan stage –the ride/taking care of blend is fine. The little car travels pleasantly over the Detroit scars with nary a crash or crash and a decent controlled body. Guiding is light and exact.
So I have blended sentiments by and large. I like the way the auto makes yet am not wild about the lodge or the sticker cost. Id take the Mazda 3 and additionally VWs own particular Golf over this throughout the day.
A couple of years prior the Jetta may well have appeared like a much needed refresher with its spotless basic inside direct gadgets genuinely fresh assuming light controlling and made taking care of. In the event that the Volkswagen ever was a benchmark auto however it appears that everybody has had room schedulewise to make up for lost time … and afterward outperform the vehicle when it comes down to esteem.
A 2016 Honda Civic LX for instance offers a comparative suite of components directly down to Apple CarPlay/Android Auto network for three thousand less. Likewise the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze LS programmed which additionally gets that CarPlay/Android Auto tech.
What of the engine? Its not needing given the autos suburbanite prepared expectation but rather dont expect a 1.4liter turbo execution astonish. Sufficient for the financial plan cognizant driverbyneed it will doubtlessly leave you a nononsense lover wishing you went for the GLI. Or if nothing else the 1.8liter which I have not yet attempted.
I didnt see efficiency in accordance with the expressed 32 mpg joined however I accelerated it hard (and I speculate I wasnt the only one in that) and hit 30 mpg. Drive all the more conservatively and VWs stamp ought to be achievable. Yet That doesnt really sound fun at all.
While my scholarly partners above drove the awesome Connectivity bundle for $23145 I out in L.A. managed with the insignificant SE at $20915. I dont know why theyre crying about sticker value so much Volkswagen is for all intents and purposes paying you to drive these things off the parcel. Merchants around here – Galpin Volkswagen for example – has a $129amonthin addition to assessment bargain on a Jetta 1.4T S with Technology. I say in case youre a youthful undergrad or a simply beginning graduate and you cant think of $129 a month you presumably should take the transport. So contentions about the cost of these appear to be disputable. In any event to me.
Whats more heres something else I adored the treatment of this little urban squirter. It made typical flat city driving a unique little bliss. Turn the guiding haggle du lieber the front tires turned! Also a considerable measure faster than they would with some contender auto. What contends with this? A Corolla? Center? Cruze? Those are about an indistinguishable size from the Jetta however they cost less so perhaps Raynal has a point. In any case in driving feel the Jetta is by a wide margin additionally engaging even and particularly when youre simply putting around the city. Whats more that makes the Jetta worth the additional coin on the off chance that you ask me. I didnt take it out on any truly intriguing streets so Im simply accepting it would be more enthusiastic and amusing todrive than contenders. Yet it was absolutely vivacious and enjoyable todrive amid the week I had it. Furthermore I say that means something particularly to Autoweek perusers who are not your normal heartless workers.

For those of you into Polo, you’ll recognize Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, the Argentine polo player who is one of the top players in the world. What you may not know is that he and Prince Harry are very good friends.
The international Polo player said that he didn’t think he had any “right” to offer relationship advice, but he definitely approves of Suits star Markle. “I can say that I’m very happy for him [Harry],” Figueras told Hola USA. “If he’s happy, I’m happy. He’s a guy who I like very much and he deserves the best.” | <urn:uuid:f67f928e-30f7-48d0-9db0-ec36ea1d3e69> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://constative.com/lifestyle/meghan-markle-prince-harry-royal-wedding-3/29/ | 2019-08-24T15:26:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.967857 | 163 |
So, last week, I kind of brought up the question of where Groundhog’s day came from. I was planning on writing this post last week, but life happens. I’m in AP English IV (where I have to read twelve books by next Friday), among other classes that I have. But now, on with the history.
The first Groundhog’s day was February 2, 1887 at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsatawney, Pennsylvania where there is, to this day, a three-day celebration with the Punxsatawney Groundhog Club and that Phil’s (the first ground hog used) line is the only one that can actually “see the future” when it comes to the weather. The tradition behind it is that if a groundhog’s sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. The omen about there being six more weeks of winter sounds strange, but with the habits of groundhogs, it actual makes some sense.
Winter, according the the calender, ends two weeks into March in the Northern Hemisphere, which is six weeks after the prediction via groundhog. Groundhogs are hibernating animals which means that they sleep through the winter. Male groundhogs leave hibernation in early February and search for a mate. After this, they go back into hibernation until March, which fits the timeline of the prediction.
Although the Groundhog’s prediction falls into the hibernation schedule, the tradition of tracking the days until the end of winter did not start there.
In ancient Christian tradition, there was a holiday known as Candle-mas Day. This is the day where the church’s clergymen bless and distribute candles needed for the rest of winter, marking a milestone. In was believed that the weather present on that day, indicated the season. It was believed that if the day was dry, winter was still among the land, but if it was a wet day, spring had come. This tradition was then brought to the Germans, by the Roman people, who assigned the hedgehog as the animal to predict the weather. When those people started to migrate to America, the groundhog looked similar to the European hedgehog, so they decided to make the groundhog the new animal predicting the weather.

Film Studies For Free is grateful to Peter Suber of Open Access News for the tip-off that YouTube has launched a new channel to facilitate access to video material submitted by universities and colleges: YouTube EDU.
The new channel makes it much easier than before to search for and access high-quality scholarly material related to film and media studies, FSFF has found. As Wired Campus also reports, 'The new section makes it possible to find out which college-produced video is most popular'.
The winner in the popularity stakes so far just happens to be an interview [embedded above] with a University of Minnesota [physics] professor discussing the science behind the new movie Watchmen.' In the video, Professor James Kakalios discusses how he was asked to add a physics perspective to the upcoming Warner Brothers movie, Watchmen. Kakalios explores how quantum mechanics can explain Dr. Manhattan's super human powers in the film, and how he came to become an expert on the topic of the physics of superheroes (click here to read an excerpt from Kakalios's book on this topic).
Film Studies For Free has browsed further Film Studies highlights from YouTube EDU and embedded two more of its top quality educational videos below:

A Des Moines-based direct-care agency has developed an in-house mobile documentation application that could also provide a less-expensive option for other care agencies. HOPE Agency, a nonprofit community-based provider of holistic care for children and adults with special needs, recently rolled out Quik Cliks, a documentation app that it built for its staff using an off-the-shelf platform from Salesforce.com.
“Having served in the direct-care field for almost 15 years, we wanted to find a solution to the time-intensive process that staff go through on a daily basis when spending hours documenting their visits with members,” said Amy Wallman Madden, who co-founded the agency in 2004. Her staff helped develop and beta-test the app over an 18-month period, with assistance from Jacki Askelson of TandemCRM, a Johnston consultant who specializes in working with nonprofits on Salesforce applications.
Because staff are able to complete documentation in real-time while providing services, the quality of the documentation increases because they are able to include more specific, accurate and goal-related information, said Julie Horton, a long-time staff member with HOPE Agency. “The time saved is also a huge plus,” she said. “Your free time is not spent working on documentation.” The agency currently serves about 65 clients with a staff of 40.
Madden said her agency is now in discussions about how to market the app, and wants to make it available to other direct-care agencies. For more information, contact Madden at email@example.com or call her at (515) 331-4142. | <urn:uuid:8f89f3fc-f53a-4fda-8780-0e595640e46a> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://innovationia.com/2018/04/26/hope-agency-develops-documentation-app-for-direct-caregivers/ | 2019-08-24T17:03:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.95318 | 348 |
In the beginning of 2013 I jumped on the running band wagon and decided I was going to run a 5K by April. I froze my butt off getting up super early before work, in the dark, to run on icy snow covered side walks. I bought a pair of $120 custom fit running shoes and started the couch to 5k program. I didn’t think I was out of shape by any means. I go to the gym on a regular basis and lifted weights. I’m not the fittest person, but I am in okay shape. When it came to running though I discovered I was a beginner. Nothing AND I MEAN NOTHING for me was harder then running. The Couch to 5k program was amazing as it slowly pushed me to run more and more not too quickly. Investing in a foam roller was the best thing I could have done as I was sore ALL of the time. After a few weeks I built up my stamina and started pushing myself. I averaged a little over 11 miles a limit, but for me that was good enough. My goal was to run a 5k and try to keep it under 30 minutes. My husband and I signed up for the Zombie Run in Philadelphia in April of 2013. Basically, you run through a course trying to avoid zombie that are trying to steal and pop balloons tied to your waist.
So for 4 months I busted my butt and was finally able to run a full 30 minutes, slowly but, I could do it. I won’t like, I HATED running. Yet, once I started I felt unstoppable. It hurt (in a good way) but it felt so good to push myself. If I had a crappy day at work I’d put on my running shoes and run it out. Afterwards I felt absolutely exhausted physically, but so much better emotionally.
We ran the 5k and I came in a little over 30 minutes. I had a hard time pacing myself since it was a bit hard to dodge zombies and run in a group of a few hundred people. I tended to try to keep up with others who ran faster then myself. Regardless, I ran the full race and was incredibly happy with myself.
Next, I wanted to tackle a 10k and then my goal was to run a marathon by the time I was 35. I thought 5 years was a reasonable amount of time to train.
Then this happened…
Minor foot fracture as well as some torn muscle in my ankle. I was in a bit of pain before I gave up and went to the doctor. I decided to “run” through it. Bad idea. I blamed it on my shoes or the fact that I was running too much on pavement and tried to cut back as much as I could. Eventually the pain was so unbearable. After three MRI’s 2 doctors, I was put into a boot air cast and prescribed physical therapy. To this day my ankle does not feel right. I stretch, ice, and massage it but the lump above my ankle does not seem to go away. I think it may be scar tissue. It bothers me from time to time when I go for a brisk walk or use the elliptical for a long period of time, but I just deal. I’ve come to the conclusion it will never be 100% and most likely my “running days” are over. It saddens me as I never felt so physically challenged before. I imagined time and time again crossing the marathon finish line, exhausted, in pain, all while shedding tears of happiness.
In order to keep myself motivated I save several quotes that got me through those tough times, so I thought I’d share them. They can be applied to anything, running, life, or just achieving any goal. | <urn:uuid:1108b1be-9dbd-4b2f-a861-69875e0e6515> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://jamielwiley2.wordpress.com/tag/injury/ | 2019-08-24T15:51:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.987839 | 777 |
What is hypertension?
An elevated blood pressure level in a child is defined as a blood pressure that
is above the 90th percentile for age and sex. Although the finding of
an elevated blood pressure on physical examination constitutes an abnormal sign,
it does not mean that hypertension (i.e., sustained blood pressure elevation) is
persistent. Most pediatricians recommend that for a child to be diagnosed with hypertension
the blood pressure must be abnormal (above the 95th percentile rank of
age and sex) on at least 3 separate examinations over a 6- to 12-month interval
(see table). The only exception is if at the time of the initial examination the
child has signs and/or symptoms commonly found with severe hypertension (e.g., heart
muscle enlargement, headache, dizziness, seizures, eye and vision damage).
Table: Levels of Severe Hypertension (95th Percentile) for Boys and Girls
What causes hypertension?
Once a child is diagnosed with hypertension, its cause must be determined. The two
major types of hypertension are as follows:
- Essential hypertension (i.e., without any identifiable cause) occurs in 50%
to 60% of children with hypertension. The majority of these children will be obese.
- Secondary hypertensionThe common causes of secondary hypertension include
renal (kidney) disease, cardiovascular (heart and vessel) disease, endocrine (hormone
or metabolism) disorders, and other miscellaneous conditions.
How is secondary hypertension diagnosed?
A thorough history and physical examination is essential in evaluating a child with
In the history, the following significant points should be addressed:
- Symptoms suggesting associated disease (e.g., unexplained fever - in kidney infection;
leg pains with exercise - in coarctation of the aorta [see Coarctation of the Aorta
article]; weight loss and tremor - in hyperthyroidism; sweating, night terrors,
and palpations - in an adrenal gland tumor)
- Medications or chemicals that can raise the blood pressure (e.g., birth control
pill, steroids, amphetamines)
- Any history of trauma
The physical examination should include the following:
- Blood pressure and pulse should be taken in both the upper and the lower extremities.
(A difference in pressure and pulse between the arms and the legs is diagnostic
of coarctation of the aorta.)
- A careful abdominal examination should be performed to detect masses (e.g., polycystic
kidney disease, where the kidneys are too large because of multiple cysts; tumors)
and abnormal pulses (e.g., renal artery stenosis, where the vessels supplying blood
to the kidneys are abnormally narrow).
- A careful examination of the skin should be performed (e.g., cafe-au-lait spots
or brownish spots in neurofibromatosis, striae or skin stretch marks, hirsutism
or male hair growth pattern of Cushing's syndrome).
- A thorough eye examination should be performed.
The only routine laboratory tests that should be performed are as follows: urine
dipstick, blood electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine. Other laboratory
tests should be ordered based on both the history and the physical examination.
How is childhood hypertension treated?
All children with significant, sustained hypertension should be treated. The treatment
of hypertension is divided into two major categories: hypertensive crisis and chronic
- Hypertensive crisis is defined as life-threatening hypertension that is associated
with hypertensive encephalopathy (changes in the brain and neurologic function due
to the increased blood pressure) and/or acute heart failure. The calcium-channel
blockers amlodipine and nifedipine are very effective in treating hypertensive crisis.
Other medications used include diazoxide, nitroprusside, and minoxidil. No matter
what medication is used, once acute blood pressure reduction is achieved, other
medicines need to be added to maintain long-term blood pressure control.
- Chronic hypertension
The ideal therapy for chronic hypertension is to treat, if possible, the underlying
disease that is responsible for the hypertension. If this is not possible, then
nonpharmacologic (not using medications) and pharmacologic (using medications) intervention
- Nonpharmacologic treatment Dietary management should be the initial form
of therapy in all children with hypertension. Weight loss is the treatment of choice
for the obese adolescent with essential hypertension. Lowering salt intake also
can be helpful. In addition to dietary management, other nonpharmacologic therapies
include quitting smoking, not taking oral contraceptive pills and other vasoactive
drugs, and avoiding heavy alcohol consumption. Daily physical activity should be
- Pharmacologic treatment
In pediatric patients, the first line of antihypertensive medications are angiotensin
converting enzyme inhibitors and calcium channel blockers. The most common side
effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors is a chronic cough. If a chronic
cough requires the child to stop taking the converting enzyme inhibitor, an alternate
therapy is angiotensin receptor antagonists. The most common side effects of calcium
channel blockers are a rapid heart rate and fluid retention.
Until recently, diuretics and beta-blockers were the most commonly used drugs to
treat childhood hypertension. However, most pediatricians are now reluctant to use
them because of evidence suggesting that these agents may adversely affect plasma
lipids and insulin sensitivity. Beta-blockers also can cause depression and impair
Other antihypertensive agents used to treat refractory hypertension include centrally-acting
drugs (e.g., Clonidine, Guanabenz), alpha-blockers, and vasodilators (e.g., hydralazine,
What is the goal of hypertension treatment?
The goal of therapy is to keep the child's blood pressure below the 90th
percentile for age and sex. Parents must be taught not only to monitor their child's
blood pressure at home, but also to monitor for signs of medication-induced side
Successful therapy should not interfere with the child's academic performance, involvement
in sports, or interest in social activities. Participation in team sports should
be encouraged unless there is clear evidence of heart dysfunction.
Once the child's blood pressure is under good control, the child should be evaluated
(at least) on an annual basis to assess cardiac status, physical growth and development,
and sexual maturation patterns.

Aside from criticism, I am not one to talk about myself, but if you have found my blog and are reading this, I want you to know who I am, why I do what I do, and my views and insights into the world of Enterprise Architecture, software development, .NET, SQL Server and the C# language.
Everyone has a story to tell, past experiences to share, and at least one thing about which they are passionate. A life without some type of passion is dull, dreary, and leaves you without a true sense of purpose. I can’t imagine living everyday without the passion that is within me and the energy that drives me to seek continuous improvement with everything that I do. I believe that to be successful in the field of Information Technology, you must first be a problem-solver. Software development tools are merely things that we use to solve problems. It’s that simple!
I have been in the world of Information Technology for over 20 years and have held every position from Programmer/Analyst to Director of Information Technology. I have been a passionate developer and architect for most of that time and have a diverse background. I spent 12 years in developing and managing manufacturing software systems and the remaining 8+ years building mission-critical enterprise software systems for State and Federal government agencies. Every position that I’ve held and every client for whom I’ve worked has provided me valuable experience and insight into the dynamics of not just development and architecture, but also business process re-engineering and the qualities of successful organizations.
Since 2000, I have been a passionate advocate of the Microsoft .NET Framework and C# has been and still is my language of choice. I have a solid background in Java, C++, Visual Basic, RPG, and COBOL, though the last two I haven’t thought of in many, many years!
I love teaching, and the experience and knowledge that I have gained has provided me with the privilege of being able to expose many people to the wonderful world of .NET and C# and the benefits of object-oriented development. I intimately understand the challenges one faces when learning a new programming language.
I truly enjoy building and guiding development teams, and there is nothing that can replace finding the perfect mix of people, talent, and personalities to form an effective working group. If a team or organization is truly effective, there is never a need to mention the word “synergy”. When you have it, you know it! When you don’t have it, you talk about it and meet in an attempt to find it.
As a bright-eyed, young developer of about 25 years of age, I have to admit that at times I had an unfounded confidence and had the belief that I knew a lot more than I really knew. Age, time, and experience have softened this cockiness and having finally reached my 40s, I have evolved into someone who profoundly understands that the more I learn, the more that I realize there is so much more that I don’t know! It’s a daunting task to keep up with ever-evolving technologies, and there is no such thing as complacency and living within a comfort zone for too long. Though I love new tools and technologies, I never lose sight of the fact that a development teams job is to produce and deliver products that meet the customer’s needs.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems from Troy University in Troy, Alabama and I am a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD), Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD), and a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP). I hold a CompTIA Security+ certification which I update every three years, and I hold a VMware VTSP certification.
Though I think credentials and certifications are important, I believe that they are merely designations that prove you studied, passed tests, and have at least a minimal level of knowledge. Truth be told, everything I know now I’ve learned on-the-job either through trial and error and self-study. There is just no substitute for that! | <urn:uuid:92eb7c83-c4ac-4a55-bd69-cf3a60efb359> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://johnlnelson.com/about/ | 2019-08-24T15:37:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.961585 | 849 |
One of our servers here at ONE/Northwest (which, among other duties, hosts this blog!) has been acting a little flaky over the past few weeks. The SCSI disk subsystem was throwing intermittent clusters of CRC errors, which seemed to be causing the filesystem to go into read-only mode to protect itself. Which would of course bring down pretty much all of its processes, requiring a restart and an fsck disk check. Not good at all.
After Googling around a bit, and pondering the hassles of SCSI driver upgrades, I decided to just get a can of compressed air, disconnect all the drive cables, blow everything out, then carefully reconnect everything.
Twenty-four hours later, and not a single error. Another day or two and I’ll be satisfied.
It’s nice when the easy fix works. | <urn:uuid:2ca268f6-9a21-4545-8020-d6884ef711e8> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://jstahl.org/what-to-do-when-you-start-getting-scsi-disk-errors/ | 2019-08-24T15:27:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.938245 | 182 |
On a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, several International students visited me. One girl said, “I have a gift for you.”
I said,”What is it?”
She held up two fingers, ‘I was saved at the Chinese Church. I have new birth two days ago.” Several times she repeated her claim of being a two-day-old newborn. We hugged. I was so happy for her.

Hi guys! Chrismas is coming! Today after work I visited the Christmas market 2014 (Weihnachstmarkt) which had opened its gates just before. We started our tour at Schlossplatz. Look at this beautiful Christmas tree. It is located right in front of Königsbau.
We made our way over to Schillerplatz and strolled through the stands of Christmas market 2014.
Check out the decoration on top of the stalls! This sort of decoration on a Christmas market is actually special to Stuttgart. And each year, the stall with the most beautiful decoration wins a price.
Then we headed over to Marktplatz and the city hall.
Fun fact: Can you spot the numbers in the windows? Each December, the city hall (Rathaus) turns into a huge Adventskalender. From the 1st of December until the 23th one number will convert into the coat of arms of one of the quarters of Stuttgart. A choir from this quarter will perform for free on the stairs in front of the Rathaus. These mini concerts always start at 6 pm. Well worth visiting!
Now it was time for mulled wine. If you haven’t already, try white “Glühwein” ! It’s delicious! Hot chocolate with rum is nice, too by the way 😉
When you visit Stuttgart’s beautiful Christmas market 2014, you shouldn’t miss:
-having a Glühwein
–eating Magenbrot (which translates literary into stomach bread…. but is in fact very yummy biscuit, like gingerbread)
-buying at least one very cute but also very unnecessary piece of Christmas decoration
-visiting the Finnish Christmas Village at Karlsplatz
–having your picture taken of you next to the big nutcracker at Marktplatz
The Christmas Market 2014 will be on until the 23rd of December from 10 am till 9 am (on Sundays from 11 am until 9 am). So you have 28 days, make the most of it!

Modlite 18350 Body Package
This package includes one 18350 body and two 18350 batteries.
The Modlite light 18350 body is designed as a direct replacement body for Surefire® Scout Light M600DF weapon lights and the KE2-DF head. This is the only Surefire® light head that it is compatible with. It is approximately 1.25 inches shorter and about 1.5oz lighter than a M600DF body with battery. This allows for additional rail space especially on SBR and pistol builds.
The Modlite 18350 light body is compatible with Surefire® z68, Modlite TCC tailcaps along with Surefire® UE and DS00 tail caps. It will also fit in any aftermarket Scout mount, as it retains the mounting holes and square lug interface on the underside of the light body. Modlite recommends and sells the Arisaka Defense mounts which can be found here.
This light body accepts 18350 cells only. Lithium CR123 cells are not supported and if used will cause the CR123 cells to heat up and possibly explode or catch fire. This package includes two 18350 cells. If you need a charger please take a look at our Li-Ion chargers here.
Run time is about 35 minutes with the KE2-DF head and a freshly charged battery. | <urn:uuid:b837d698-be43-4b30-841c-e5642ef48399> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://modlite.com/products/18350-body-package | 2019-08-24T15:46:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.911598 | 272 |
#MomsDinnerHacks #MomsSavingTime #LessDishesForMommy #KidFriendlyFood
Let’s save time making dinner for the family! Let’s reduce the number of dishes, avoid the ‘short-order-cookism’ of serving each person their own special meal that meets their every whim and desire… basically let’s make this communal, perhaps fun (okay depending on the age of your kids), nourishing family time without all of the complexity of making dish-intensive, complicated menus or worse, planning ‘dinner’ on the fly each night.
To quickly recap — I save considerable time, at least 1 to 2 hours (of prep, clean up, shopping and mental energy) each week by:
- Repeating a basic ‘formula’ of how dinner works (protein + grain + 2 or 3 vegetables)
- Choosing meals that are very quick to prepare (i.e. less than 30 minutes) during the working week (see previous post with my go-to list of weeknight vs. weekend grains, vegetables and protein choices).
- Cooking at least 2 meals a week that feed my family two times (2X meals)
- Making one dinner that works for everybody, with some minor variations to make the ‘grown up’ servings more interesting and the kids’ versions more ‘kid-friendly’ (i.e. nothing touches each other, no spicy sauces, de-saucing items cooked in sauce altogether, etc.)
I’m also a dish minimalist. I go to extraordinary lengths to reduce the amount of pots, pans, cutting boards, etc. required for each meal. I enjoy the cooking part and want to reduce the dish washing and clean up (the joyless) part. Most of my meals and menus are designed with this in mind.
Here’s what we had for dinner, starting April 9th.

A comprehensive article on the Skill India plan, and how to register for it.
Opposition doesn’t utter a word about inflation as it has remained always under control, even when interest rates have slashed and fuel prices hiked.
The statue not only emboldens the role of the Iron Man of India in shaping up the country but also signifies a Change, a change in governance, a change that neither Congress nor its supporter can live with; and had to downplay it.
The government should try to provide the best government not the maximum government.
With Yogi at the helm of affairs, knowing the state from within, U.P. will lead the GSDP list in next 10 years.
Recognizing a family as the key unit of governance can have a spectacular transformation in the domain of governance.
Government has taken concrete steps to improve areas like Infrastructure Development, Sanitation, Electrification and Financial Inclusion. While social sectors like Education, Healthcare and Environment seem to be overlooked. | <urn:uuid:b957b40d-7323-4062-8998-28d5684f6490> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://myvoice.opindia.com/tag/good-governance/ | 2019-08-24T16:09:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.947828 | 204 |
SHE LOVED COKE!
I offered a friend one of my juicy cherries, which she declined!
She explained that she was on the keto diet and that fruit isn’t allowed!
Fruit, not allowed?!
But that wasn’t all of it…
It was what she did next that astounded me!
She drank a bottle of coke. Yup, coca cola! If you thought I meant cocaine, you might need some help 😉
WTF!!! I told her. You can’t eat fruit, which grows on this earth, but you can drink coke, which is a manmade factory concoction??
Diet coke may have less calories, zero calories in fact, and no carbohydrates, meaning zero sugar… but…
Let’s look at the facts:
Cherry ingredients = Cherry
Diet coke ingredients = Carbonated water, caramel colour, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, natural flavours, citric acid, caffeine!
Hmmm, sounds healthy, doesn’t it?
Do you even know what most of those ingredients are? Do you even care?
I remember when I didn’t care…
I ate what I wanted without any thought of how what I ate impacted my body.
The damage doesn’t show up immediately, it can take months and years, decades even!
So, it’s easy to dismiss the long-term impact of what we eat today.
I get it but, trust me prevention is better than cure.
I’m talking from experience here.
The food I used to eat, was ruining my health!
For the record I’m not against the keto diet but I do encourage you to think wisely about the foods and drinks you consume.
Personally, I want the foods I eat to be as close to its natural state as possible, unrefined and unprocessed.
Let’s take one of the ingredients of coke as an example…
Aspartame has been linked with; headaches, seizures, depression, dizziness and weight gain as well as cancers, lupus, Alzheimer’s disease and MS!
The jury is still out but personally?
I’m not prepared to take the risk.
I want the foods it eat to be found naturally on this earth and not ‘created’ in a factory.
Give me whole foods every day of the week.
I want honest, simple and healthy foods!
Food was once one of the main contributors to my poor health, an autoimmune thyroid condition, but these days food is my medicine!
You really are what you eat, so eat wisely! | <urn:uuid:6cb83440-5917-461f-b7be-5580820f8a39> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://natalieshaul.com/2018/10/18/she-loved-coke/ | 2019-08-24T15:32:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.945949 | 576 |

When spring comes and our chickens start laying more, I get out my favorite egg recipes.
This is a great way to use up leftover veggies and extra produce. It’s a big hit in my house!
Sprinkle cheese on bottom of baked pie crust.
Arrange tomato slices on cheese and spinach over slices.
Add basil & salt to eggs and beat in with a fork.
Pour over spinach and lightly stir so spinach is all wet and covered. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Top and crust should be lightly brown. Let sit for 10 minutes before eating.
Here are substitutes you can use for either the tomato or spinach:
If you love garlic, add 1 or 2 cloves to the egg mixture. If you like fluffier quiche, try 1/4 cup milk and 1-2 less eggs.
When adding extra veggies, you may need to extend cooking time by 5-15 minutes. Slide a knife in the middle and peek to the bottom. If you see liquid, cook longer in 5 minute increments.
These have all worked well for me. | <urn:uuid:488048ed-991f-4dd1-a7f9-076eeef0b7e2> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://naturaloilmom.com/jennis-basil-quiche/ | 2019-08-24T15:45:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.879735 | 232 |

The Mets just played the Padres at Citi Field a week ago, so instead of posting the same thing again, or rewriting it in pirate non-sense, here’s a link to last week’s preview of San Diego, which covers most of the basics. But let’s get on with the updates here:
1. Petco Park, where this series will be played, is the most extreme pitcher’s park in the majors. According to Seamheads’ excellent ballpark site, the Padres’ home reduces run scoring by 18%, and it’s absolutely brutal on lefthanded home run hitters. It’s a nice place to pitch as a fly ball righty, but none of the Mets pitchers this series, R.A. Dickey, Dillon Gee and Jon Niese, fit that bill.
2. Switch-hitting, smooth fielding Chase Headley, the Padres’ best player (they don’t have many good players), is still sidelined with a fractured finger. Prospects James Darnell and Logan Forsythe have manned third base in his absence; both of them have torn up Triple-A, though neither has hit well in the majors as of yet. Catcher Nick Hundley is back in action behind the plate after missing the last series.
3. The Padres, who scored the fewest runs in the league before the All Star break, lead the NL in runs scored since the break. The complete offensive turnaround has been fueled mostly by Jesus Guzman, the career minor leaguer who played in just 17 games in the first half: He’s hitting .371 with a 1.018 OPS and 26 RBI as the starting first baseman in the second half. Cameron Maybin has helped too, scoring 23 runs in 28 games and going 18 for 19 stealing bases.
4. While the offense has reversed course, the Padres are still just 14-16 since the break because their pitching has also made a 180-degree turn. The Padres’ had a 3.24 ERA in the first half, a number that’s jumped to 4.13 in the second half — mostly because, for whatever reason, they’ve started serving up lots of home runs. The Padres allowed 57 home runs in 92 first-half games, but then 31 long balls in 30 second-half games. The main offenders are Tim Stauffer, eight longballs (five in his last start) and a 5.40 ERA in six starts, and Chad Qualls, five homers allowed and a 7.90 ERA in 15 relief outings.
5. The Mets, with Mike Baxter, are playing in San Diego this week, then play Milwaukee back in New York over the weekend. Thus, this is officially the Anchorman week of the season, and you’re all given express, written consent by the office of the commissioner to watch the movie on Thursday’s off-day:

Thank you all for all of the extra special love and care you took w/ me and part one with my teeth. I have to admit, I had my doubts, but I was wrong, it was pretty much pain-free. I am the majority of people who are afraid of Dentists, and their procedures. But after a couple days of everyone working as a team on me, and really being considerate of any and all pain, it worked out great. I never thought I would be able to go back to the Dentist without being afraid, but all of you enabled me to get over the hurdle of fear I once had.

Great doctor, friendly staff. He’s very knowledgeable. I travel a great way to see him, I’m glad to have him as my pain management doctor.
I was very happy seeing Brian Bannister, MD. He was a really nice guy and very understanding. I will continue seeing him and would recommend him to my family and friends.
Wow, Dr. Bannister is an EXCELLENT Doctor. I’ve been on pain opiates for many years, and Dr. Bannister has helped me wane off these terrible drugs. I feel better than i’ve felt in over 5 years! HIGHLY recommended! | <urn:uuid:0aae0e09-d619-4364-b8fd-818a6bbb257b> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://progressivepain.com/testimonials/ | 2019-08-24T16:40:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.98702 | 277 |
A building construction blueprint from Richard Lester's 1980 superhero sequel Superman II.
Superman (Christopher Reeve) foils the plot of terrorists by hurtling their nuclear device into outer space, but the bomb's shock waves free the Kryptonian villain General Zod (Terence Stamp) and his henchmen Ursa (Sarah Douglas) and Non (Jack O'Halloran) from their imprisonment. Traveling to Earth, they threaten the planet with destruction at the same time that Superman decides to renounce his superpowers in order to live a normal life as Clark Kent with his new love, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder).
This blueprint is of a Metropolis building and street layout for the ‘Battle of Metropolis’ sequence. It includes several different views of the building and street and features other production information. The designs were drawn by Terry Reed, who was a supervising model maker on the project. The print exhibits wear including creases, tears, stains and yellowing from age but nonetheless remain in good, production-used condition.

The National Education Union is to ballot its members on a potential SATs boycott next year after delegates at the union’s annual conference voted in favour of the action.
Following a heated debate in which different union factions clashed over whether a 2019-20 ballot is achievable within the time available, and after a re-run of the vote following complaints about how the voting process was run.
The motion commits the NEU’s executive to “ballot all primary members for a boycott of all high stakes, summative testing within primary schools for the academic year 2019-20”.
It follows votes in favour of ballots at the conferences of the National Union of Teachers and Association of Teachers and Lecturers, which have now merged to form the NEU, in 2017. Today, members expressed frustration that those votes did not result in a ballot.
Today, despite attempts to propose a survey of members before a formal ballot, NEU members voted to approve plans to ballot primary staff for a boycott in spring 2020. | <urn:uuid:e31b88a5-2cb4-4f6a-91c1-5e6c341b130a> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://schoolsweek.co.uk/neu-will-ballot-for-sats-boycott-in-2019-20/ | 2019-08-24T15:50:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.961225 | 208 |
It’s all over me. Pulling me down. Wrapping all around me. A heavy fog of numb.
HAVE to escape. Now! Shake it off. Break free.
I felt that. Train + Window Pane + Bang… vibrating in my fingers, up my arm, echoing in my ears.
Trains in both hands now. A tingle of energy moving from deep inside out to the very edges of me.
Bang! Bang!! BANG!!!
Jumping. Laughing. Feeling.
Hands snatch the trains from mine. Even that feels good. Anything better than the dull nothing.
Words. Close to my ear.
“…blah, blah, gentle, blah…”
I pick up the basket at my feet.
Feeling the toys rolling off my belly, my legs, my feet… then the glorious clatter onto the floor. I make things happen. Me! I am powerful.
Mommy bends down, pressing toys into my hand, pointing to the basket. We drop them in. Small bang. Meh.
“…blah, blah, time to go… van.”
Van! I love the van! I love to GO! Coiling my body, ready to run to the door… until it catches my eye. Catches me, body and soul.
On the edge of the table. My favourite thing. The best thing. So many buttons. So many colours and noises and games. So much everything.
And, she’s looking away. Quick! Feet skittering across the floor, arms and legs climbing frantically, heart pounding… Got it!
She sees me! Now throwing myself off the table, prize clutched to my chest, down the hallway – the chase is on! Running. Laughing. Feeling.
More! More! More!

Today is exactly 1 year since our adoption was finalized, and the boy became ours for good, forever. It’s been exhausting and overwhelming at times, but never, ever, boring. At least not for long.
It’s been pointed out that “Gotcha Day” (which many adoptive families use to describe this day) sounds creepy and vaguely kidnap-y.
“Signed the Paperwork Day” doesn’t really capture the sentiment either. Nor does “You’re Stuck With Us Now Day.” We’ve finally settled on:
“For Keeps Day.”
Definitely worth celebrating! And yes, there will be cake.

So here’s us, where we’re learning to make room for: fun, impulsive, hyperactive, sensory seeking, rough & tumble, and being a boy. | <urn:uuid:d03a7a7a-26c5-4a13-a865-6cb6a218e29c> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://soheresus.com/2014/02/04/parenting-spd-sensory-seeking/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-08-24T16:09:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.90099 | 587 |
What is rock bottom for the Texas football program? They’ve been taken so many huge hits in a season plus under Charlie Strong it’s getting hard to distinguish what terrible really is for them, as the job security of the head coach seems solid, although things can change quickly if the negative momentum can’t be changed.
The Longhorns have had success against Oklahoma when heading into the Red River Rivalry as huge underdogs. They’re 5-2 since 1989 when going in as unranked. Oklahoma are #10 on the AP Poll right now, putting up an impressive performance in their win over West Virginia this weekend, their first conference win of the season. Considering how badly we’ve seen Texas get beaten against TCU and Notre Dame this season, two of the three ranked teams they’ve faced, it’s hard to feel optimistic about their chances against the Sooners.
Bryan Curtis of Grantland wrote an interesting article about the current situation for Strong in Austin, offering both support and a pessimistic outlook. On one hand, Strong is trying to deal with the awful recruiting job Mack Brown did during his final years as the head coach, resulting in Strong’s freshmen being the best players on the team. But it’s not just Brown’s recruiting. It’s the culture of the program, and also working with a very different attitude compared to his predecessor not just with his players, but also with high school coaches and his own administration.
There’s still plenty of support from the university and boosters. Texas just fired its Athletic Director which means things aren’t exactly going well in more than just football. Rick Barnes, who coached the basketball team for 17 seasons was fired at the end of last season, replaced by Shaka Smart. It’s hard to compare what success and failure are at both sports, but these are too many changes happening at once for such a proud, arrogant establishment.
It’s hard to believe Strong will get fired this season, but can we still say “regardless of what happens” considering how bad things are? The Longhorns are 1-4, and likely to be 1-5 by the end of next weekend. TCU, a team that hasn’t scored more than 30 points against Texas since 1956, have now scored 98 points in two seasons against Strong’s Longhorns. The changes to the playcalling and the attempt to almost by will change a program that is in dire straits haven’t been doing any good. Not in the short run.
The question is whether Strong “survives” enough to see the long run. To put in another good recruiting class. To make this program entirely his. There’s still support and patience for the process to be completed, but patience isn’t infinite, not at Texas, and not with the results being more than bad; they’re catastrophic, and maybe causing Strong to doubt his own direction, and once that begins to happen, it always ends in the same way. | <urn:uuid:ba91dea4-df65-4b19-b4c3-afe0e16320f0> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://sportige.com/college-football-rumors-texas-longhorns-running-out-of-reasons-to-not-fire-charlie-strong-92015/ | 2019-08-24T15:42:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.976338 | 635 |
Bossypants is definitely this generation’s Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret. This book made me laugh until I cried. I have re-read it many times, it’s sooo good!
Then the torch was handed to sweet Mindy Kaling with her hilarious Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me?
It was one of those books that you don’t want to end. I laughed so loud
…but every sequel needs the last chapter, The Return of the Jedi, the Phillips to the Wilson, right? So the obviy person to pen her magnum opus would be…
Amy fucking Poehler!! Hooray! I am so stoked to read it. Her book is being described as “An illustrated, non-linear diary full of humor and honesty and brimming
with true stories, fictional anecdotes and life lessons, the book will
be a unique and engaging experience from one of today’s most talented
and beloved stars.” This lady rocks my boat.
So, Project Runway is back…are you lovelies watching? It’s teams this year, yikes, they are really trying to make these people kill each other. One thing I love about PR is they love to eliminate s’s on the end of word
s! A nude LIP, a cool slim PANT or a clunky HEEL. At least this year they are giving them a Lexus. I remember season one got a Saturn, and I think he turned it down, haha! I really want this dude to win.

Gilda Susan Radner (June 28, 1946 – May 20, 1989) was an American comedian and actress who was one of the seven original cast members for the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL).
In her routines, Radner specialized in parodies of television stereotypes, such as advice specialists and news anchors, and in 1977, she won an Emmy Award for her performances on the show. She also portrayed those characters in her highly successful one-woman show on Broadway in 1979.
Radner’s SNL work established her as an iconic figure in the history of American comedy. She died from ovarian cancer in 1989. Her autobiography dealt frankly with her life, work, and personal struggles, including those with the illness. Her widower, Gene Wilder, carried out her personal wish that information about her illness would help other cancer victims, founding and inspiring organizations that emphasize early diagnosis, hereditary factors and support for cancer victims.
She was posthumously awarded a Grammy Award in 1990. Radner was inducted into the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame in 1992; and she posthumously received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003. | <urn:uuid:8046d6a7-d658-45bf-8dad-415f40bd0de4> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://vintagenewsdaily.com/25-candid-photographs-of-gilda-radner-in-the-1970s-and-1980s/ | 2019-08-24T17:03:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.981539 | 240 |
Infiniti Driver’s Seat VR app gives you the keys to the Q60 and QX30 concept cars with two immersive VR experiences.
Today Infiniti is giving driving enthusiasts a new look at their concept cars with the launch of their Driver’s Seat VR app, now available on iTunes and Google Play (no longer available). The app gives users the choice of two VR experiences, which can both be viewed on Google Cardboard or in standard definition.
One of the two VR experiences within the app for launch, “Dream Road”, allows viewers to transport to the driver’s seat of the Q60 Concept. In a full 360-degree short film, “drivers” can experience the performance of the coupe on some of the world’s most exciting drives, including Italy’s Stelvio Pass and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean road in Norway. YouTube trailer below.
The second virtual reality experience “From Pencil to Metal” introduces viewers to Infiniti Executive Design Director Alfonso Albaisa while he takes guests on a guided tour of the QX30 Concept design. Beginning with the very first pencil sketches drawn in thin air, which eerily reminded us of Tilt Brush on the HTC Vive, viewers experience the QX30 Concept design story unfold around them in three-dimensional space, moving to CAD files, clay modeling, and lastly, the final model. The experiences were created by Infiniti’s creative agency of record CP+B and media agency of record OMD.
Taking VR on the Road
In addition to the app launch this week, Infiniti will be bringing the virtual reality experiences to the 2015 Pebble Beach Automotive Week, giving driving enthusiasts the opportunity to not just see, but actually feel what’s its like to get behind the wheel of both concept cars. According to Infiniti, for the “Dream Road” experience, they teamed up with CXC Simulations and professional drivers to replicate the real-world physics of every bump, acceleration, and turn when driving. A custom simulator recreates G-forces and tilt, providing a fully-immersive VR experience.
Guests visiting the Infiniti Pavilion at the Pebble Beach Concours Plaza will receive a complimentary special edition headset inspired by Google Cardboard so they can download the free mobile app and relive the experience at home.
Word is that Infiniti will also be utilizing both “From Pencil to Metal” and “Dream Road” short films as centerpieces for the first-ever YouTube 360 automotive advertising campaign. The campaign is set to launch August 15, 2015 and we will provide additional updates when we get them.
If you want, you can download the app on iTunes or Google Play.

He made me say them, then. i felt like i was back in kindergarten.
Those of us who play in formal settings… at clubs, in dungeons, in public and semi-private spaces… we know the drill. We know what the safewords mean and we understand the importance.
He and i had never played before. i’d watched him play with others and he knows my Master. We’d also engaged in nice banter online and discussed our boundaries for scenes via private messages on Fet.
It was important to him… clearly important from his tone and affect… that i not only understood that he would respect me and my use of a safeword, but that he could trust that i would use the damn things if they were needed.
i told him that i would. i assured him that i would.
He reiterated…. Nothing was going to happen unless i was on board, nothing would continue if i wasn’t still on board all along the way, and i’d better use the words if i needed the words.
i assured him again that i would. i know all too well how hard it is to use them, to feel like you are tapping out too soon but i also know that it is important to know my body and, well, that body belongs to Master. i know that there’d be hell to pay if i didn’t respect myself; i’d be sorry if i didn’t respect his property.
We scened – it was pretty intense. There was electrical play like none i’ve had before (He’s got some toys that are antique and wicked as shit). There were knives and a machete and there were whips. i “yellow-ed” three times that i can recall and each time he slipped in close… toy or tool at rest… to ascertain what was happening… to ask a question… before he shifted to another spot or simply let me catch my breath… before resuming play.
When the scene ended, it was because he felt it was time. i’d had enough, he surmised. i was surprised when he made that call because i felt as if i could have gone longer but i respected his decision and after -as i settled into the fog and then came out of it – i thought his choice was probably a good one.
So, why this? Why write about this?
i feel like i should pause her for a moment to say that i’m not butthurt over this, nor do i believe that anyone intentionally said anything to hurt me. i was surrounded by loving, caring people with whom i share a healthy dose of respect.
But not from one, or two, but three separate people (nearly a quarter of the people present, actually) … i got a light teasing about yellow-ing out. Was it good-natured ribbing? i think that’s likely how it was intended. Was it malicious? i didn’t get that sense at all. i couldn’t help but think, though, that we do a real disservice to each other as bottoms/subs/slaves when we tease each other about that sort of thing.
my sense of self is not completely wrapped up in the perceptions of others, but i still care what people think far more often than i probably should. i’m lucky to have a Master that nurtures my growth as an individual… a Master that encourages me to set healthy boundaries. He expects His slave to maintain – and demand that others respect – those boundaries.
Not everyone has that sense of self.
A top in a scene can hope that their bottom uses safewords when appropriate. They can demand it, even. The likelihood that a bottom will actually code out? Sadly, that is seriously diminished when they know that’s going to be met with derision of any sort from their peers.
i coded – i didn’t like doing it. i never do like to do it. Ah, but i’m not the least bit ashamed that i did. Twice was simply because of the pain; i was experiencing some new “toys” and the area they were being applied to was new as well… and i had to seriously pull back and do a body-check to see where i was. The other time i coded was because i was having trouble catching my breath. No, i do not think that anyone needs to hear a justification for me shouting/growling/moaning “Yellow!” but i’m making the point that it was a GOOD choice for me to make.
Our tops need to be able to trust us. How horrible for them if they do harm to one of us because we feel like we have to push past what feels right or safe in order to be “suzee the super sub” or some variant of it.
Let’s cut ourselves some slack, m’kay? And If i’ve been guilty of doing this to any of you? If i’ve ever teased you about whipping out a safeword? i sincerely apologize.
Proud to be yellow… when yellow is what i should be | <urn:uuid:401c73f4-87dd-4564-bfaa-5b8a4273d904> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://wawbat.com/2014/03/24/yellow-bellied-bat/ | 2019-08-24T15:45:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.98425 | 1,092 |
You have decided that now is the time to make a move. The market is brisk but theproper preparation will make the difference between a good transaction or a very disappointing one. First you have some work to do. Then you have to contact aknowlegable Real Estate Profession to help you. He or she will know the market you are looking in and and make the search much easier.
1) Get your finances in order. Calculate your monthly payments and determine the amount you can comfortably pay on a mortgage. It is nice to own your dream home but if you are house poor, it can tarnish your enjoyment. A Mortgage Specialist can help with this.
2) Save for a Down Payment. If you are a First Time Home Buyer there are special considerations. Be informed. Your job is to have the funds available.
3) Research the interest rates and decide on the term you are most comfortable with. For instance, if you have a 20 year mortgage and you double your payments you can pay it off in approximately 7 years.
4) Prepare for property taxes. If you are moving up in homes or into a new area, you may find the property taxes are substantially more than you are paying or more than other areas you are researching. Always consider this in you monthly costs.
5) Get pre-approved for a Mortgage. Again, your Mortgage Specialist can help with that. This is dependent on your credit rating and will help narrow your search.

7) Consider renovations costs and determine if you want a move-in ready home or one that needs some upgrading. if you are not handy and have to hire for every improvement this may not be the way you want to go.It can be costly.If you can do the work yourself, have the time and are patient, the costs of renovations will be considerable less and you may be able to get more house for your budget.
8) Decide on the neighborhood that best suits you or your family needs.Consider amenities such as waterfront, golf courses, proximity to the downtown, shopping, banks, schools.

Re: Commitment to Aitchison College
The College makes a very considerable commitment to providing unmatched facilities for sport, which is a core part of our educational offering. Involvement is not just a personal responsibility (and advantage), it underpins the whole enjoyment and success of what we do. It also justifies the Board of Governors providing money for developing our sports and activities.
Boys who play outside and who do not commit to College teams (or even practice) when they are either selected or would be if available, are simply not upholding the expectations of Aitchison. I sometimes hear that boys are better off playing outside if they wish to make representative teams. As a former national representative, I can attest to the superior value of playing with good school teams, primarily because these are irreplaceable memories one can never get back, once gone. It is, therefore, tragic that some boys will only have memories of a classroom. It is wise to consider that talent will always force its way into representative teams; as they say, the cream rises to the surface. Schooldays are relatively short and it is very sad to notice some boys losing out.
Notwithstanding, Aitchison will never stand in the way of a boy playing (or swimming) representative sport, but a boy’s first commitment is to the College. This is the condition on entering Aitchison. In simple terms, this means it is unacceptable to absent from school sport without permission from the Principal and certainly without explanation to the relevant coach. It is also bad manners and pays scant respect to the practice sessions held, the efforts of coaches, other team members, and the inestimable value of the impact talented sportsmen can have on those around them. In everything there is a balance.
Boys who absent without advice or explanation from sport when selected will not be considered for leadership positions. Genuine reasons are always accepted, but silence is not. | <urn:uuid:ebfa0d1c-c618-484f-812d-28f5c186fcb1> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.aitchison.edu.pk/ac-principal-news.php?id=29 | 2019-08-24T16:48:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.958754 | 394 |

Kern County's first sheriff's deputies didn't have it easy. Back then, the Winchester lever-action rifle was advanced weaponry, understanding of DNA was generations in the future and horsepower didn't go beyond one. Outlaw gangs, Indians and the elements (the invention of the first modern air-conditioning system was more than 30 years away) were just a few of the things with which they had to contend.
Slowly, change occurred.
A small, learn-as-you-go group transformed into a force of hundreds of men and women who must complete six months of training before they can serve. Radios and computer systems provide rapidly updated information, helicopters can outpace any fleeing suspect and advances in DNA technology and fingerprint analysis have made it easier than ever to secure a conviction.
When he first joined the Sheriff's Office in 1972, Sheriff Donny Youngblood was told to go buy a gun and uniform and show up for work at Lerdo. There was no such thing as paid overtime; you just worked the OT without reimbursement.
In those days, a blue light on a hill flashed when there was a call for service in Mojave, Youngblood said. He couldn't recall if there were even pay phones in that area back then.
The sheriff has seen plenty of changes in his 40-plus years on the job, modes of transportation included.
"I don't ride a horse as much as I did back then," Youngblood said with a laugh last month.
And while it's easier than ever to convict criminals, he said it has become much harder to work with the unions and reach common ground on what they think is important.
"It used to be if you told your sergeant you weren't going to do something, you were fired," he said.
He isn't sure what advances the future holds for law enforcement.
"What I do know is I wish I could live 50 more years to see what it would be like," he said.

Tadem Hitch for bikes
The tandem hitch is a device to attach the child's bike to your own bicycle. It allows you to safely manoeuvre your bike and its attachment through dense traffic and to make an exit off the roads without a tandem clutch. Stiftung Warentest and the ADAC found the tandem clutch to be recommendable in 2010 with grades of 2.5 and GUT, respectively.
Safe cycling with the whole family
With the FollowMe Tandem Clutch, you can cycle with your child and your cone, and you can easily cross even heavily trafficked roads. They are always on the road safely at all times and uncouple the tandem clutch in no time at all. Children are quickly and safely introduced to independent cycling and have a lot of fun. The clutch is not limited to individual wheel sizes and can therefore also be used when the children grow older.
Installation is quick and easy
Assembly of the driving aid is child's play. You prepare the assembly once by attaching the hub and brackets to the adult and children's bikes. At the parent's wheel this is done in a matter of seconds by means of quick-release clamps. All you need on the child's bike is a clamp on the down tube. The clamp fits all shapes and designs. The wheels are then connected to each other without tools. Children's trailer coupling or wheel stands do not represent an obstacle.
FollowMe is compact and easy to store
The clutch is quickly removed from the bicycle and can be folded away in wind-ropes. The FollowMe tandem coupling can be hung comfortably from the saddle or luggage carrier by means of snap hooks. In no time at all, a tandem becomes a conventional bicycle that can also be used in everyday life such as shopping. At no time are you restricted by a second child seat or shopping bag on the carrier. So you can do the shopping on your own or have your child docked to your own bike in a few seconds.
Safety is a top priority with the FollowMe tandem hitch
The hub-height suspension is attached at two points and provides safety, stability and driving comfort. As with conventional fixation points on the seat post, leverage cannot occur. With the FollowMe coupling you have a safe and space-saving leisure device, which can also be used perfectly in everyday life. It is perfectly stowable in the car, cellar or train. Children from 3-9 years old are suitable for a ride. The quick-release wheel mount allows mounting on all types of adult bicycles such as city, racing and touring bikes. Adapters are available for wheels with wheel hub gearshift or full axle. | <urn:uuid:75a6873f-592c-4aa7-b96e-4f676def6bb6> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.bikebox-shop.de/en/bike-trailers/tandem-hitch/ | 2019-08-24T16:00:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.952933 | 539 |

Trump's tariffs threaten progress on U.S. trade deficit
By Drew Johnson
America's oil and gas boom is responsible for lowering the trade deficit by about $250 billion over the last decade, according to a new report from research firm IHS Markit.
Unfortunately, this economic success story might not last much longer. President Trump's "Section 232" tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are already threatening our energy exports.
The president has long promised to close America's trade gap. If that's truly his goal, he needs to call off his trade war before it does real damage to our most globally competitive industries.
America's surging oil and gas exports are the direct result of a historic domestic energy renaissance. New technologies have enabled the energy industry to extract previously inaccessible stores of fuel from shale rock formations through hydraulic fracturing, better-known as "fracking."
Thanks to these breakthroughs, domestic oil and gas production has increased by nearly 60 percent since 2008 — making the United States the world's leading producer of petroleum and natural gas for the past five consecutive years.
Not surprisingly, this glut of in-demand energy resources has spurred our export economy, as the IHS report makes clear. Between 2007 and 2017 — a period in which trade deficits for other goods exploded — the deficit for petroleum products actually plummeted by more than 75 percent, the report concluded.
Over the next five years, the report projects the trade imbalance for petroleum exports will fall by another $50 billion.
The Trump administration's tariff policies threaten this progress. This is especially true of his import duties on steel and aluminum. In imposing these tariffs, the president claims he is exercising powers granted to him under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which authorizes the executive to levy import duties in the interest of national security.
In reality, these tariffs run directly counter to our national interest by weakening some of America's most competitive industries, including the energy sector.
It's often impossible for energy firms to "buy American." Many pipeline projects require pipes so large and wide that not a single American steel firm can produce them. All told, over three-quarters of the steel used in oil and gas pipelines is imported.
Thanks to 232 tariffs, "most oil and gas pipeline construction projects would be delayed or stalled," according to global consulting firm ICF.
The administration's protectionist tariff polices are also harming U.S. trade relations with some of our biggest petroleum customers — like China.
In June, China threatened to impose a 25 percent retaliatory tariff on American crude oil. Although the country has yet to make good on that threat, it did suspend purchases of U.S. crude this August.
China is buying less U.S. LNG and diverting shipments to other countries. Between January and April, 14 U.S. LNG vessels reached China. May and June saw just one.
President Trump's tariffs are also already jeopardizing energy investment in the United States. Worried it won't be able to secure enough Chinese buyers, an Australian company is delaying its decision to invest in an LNG terminal project near Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Instead of closing the trade deficit, Trump's policies are weakening one of the few industries where net exports are on the rise.
For now, the best way to bolster domestic industries, including energy, is to roll back the 232 tariffs and let the global market for U.S. goods continue to thrive.

Facility size: €2,000,000
When an independent farm was acquired by new proprietors, it secured an invoice discounting facility. The business faced cash flow problems having suffered some financial challenges under previous ownership; it needed an immediate cash injection to continue to trade.
Close Brothers analysed the firms balance sheet and forward-looking business strategy, and saw that although the firm has experienced some losses, it remained profitable overall and had a healthy potential. The new owners had invested heavily in the farm and all bank debt had been cleared, with a plan in place which would mean invoice discounting would be the business’ sole funding route going forward.
Invoice discounting allowed the business to manage cash flow more effectively. As soon as an invoice is raised, this facility gives immediate access to up to 90% of the cash owed. Then, payments are collected from the customer as usual, so the facility remains entirely confidential.
The farm chose to use Close Brother’s market-leading online platform, IDeal™. As the funding needed to supplement the owners’ investment, this technology was the perfect fit. It provides a real-time view of availability and access to cash from unpaid customer invoices 24/7, from anywhere in the world. | <urn:uuid:9ad06ca0-59e7-43d4-92d3-ddf20d8ac4e9> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.closecommercialfinance.ie/invoice-discounting-becomes-sole-funding-facility-agribusiness | 2019-08-24T16:07:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.972387 | 257 |
Don't batteries suck? I mean, either they blow up in your face, or in the case of Apple's iPod, their lifespans just don't cut it--especially when you're watching video. I mean, what good is a portable video player if it can't get you through a flight from New York to L.A.?
Enter the Sonnettech Volta, a battery add-on that you strap onto your iPod like a backpack. If it works, it'll keep your iPod's video player going for 16 hours or recharge the little guy up to three times. Just think--you could make it through all three "X-Men" movies and have some time left over for the DVD bloopers!
If it works. That's always the big uncertainty.

Dotser are the online technology partner to the Gorey Agricultural Show and this is their 159th show making them one of the oldest agricultural shows in Ireland.
The Gorey Agricultural Show uses the Dotser ‘Super Show’ system to manage competitions and trade stands at the show. The Super Show system has improved effectiveness and considerably reduced administration time and costs while simplifying show procedures.
Dotser have developed Super Show, a one stop solution that simplifies and automates the application and payment process for trade exhibitions and show competitions.
The Gorey Agricultural Show is one of the most recent to adopt the Super Show system, along with a new website based on Dotser’s Content Management System. Over 600 competitors registered 1,000 entries in nearly 300 classes in the numerous show categories including cattle, horses, sheep, arts and crafts, cookery, and other skill competitions.
Over 70 trade exhibitors registered and paid for their exhibition space through the online system providing company information, along with product details, special requirements and attaching insurance documentation.
This allows the show runners to easily add content to their website to keep it up to date, and came with a new look for their website.
With the onus on the applicant to submit the information into a secure integrated system, huge pressure is lifted from the organising committee. Applications can be searched, approved and processed very easily which reduces the time spent on both management functions by at least 70%.
The Super Show system manages the competitions and payments in an efficient and professional manner and frees up show personnel to focus on other vital issues.
Full details of the Dotser Super Show Management System can be found on www.supershowmanagementsystem.com

A platform that allows individual private sellers and landlords to list their properties alongside those from professional agents says it’s not in the business of rivalling or bringing down established portals like Rightmove and Zoopla.
Last week we revealed that TheHouseShop - a long-standing website once known as The Little House Company - valued itself at £10m when it pitched for additional investment on the crowdfunding website Crowdcube.
Now, in a statement from its co-founders, it says its policy of allowing individuals and agents to advertise homes for sale and to let is what “modern consumers” want to see,
Founders Nick Marr and Sebastien Goldenberg say the site has an “Amazon-style marketplace designed to work equally for everyone involved in the market.”
Marr says that traditionally, estate agents have been reluctant to work alongside private vendors and landlords but insists that times have changed.
He says that PropTech companies “have focused on working with the power of the portal duopoly, TheHouseShop have created a platform that is designed to sit alongside the titans of the industry – without trying to take them down.”
Marr continues: “Unlike the big agent-only portals, we work with both private individuals and professional estate agents. We wanted to make sure that our offering to agents was just as attractive and valuable as our offering to the general public. We believe that traditional estate agents still have a crucial role to play in the market and we want to help agents grow their businesses and reach an alternative audience by working with us.
“Unlike many of our competitors, we are all about inclusivity and we don’t exclude any section of the market. This means we’ve created a truly unique marketplace where consumers can see all their options in one place and have a safer, cheaper and fairer way to transact property.”
The site is crowdfunding for £500,000 and has so far raised around half that sum.
“Demand for private landlords is at an all-time high and we’ve seen the number of DIY landlords using our platform sky-rocket over the past two years. Without a doubt, the private rental market will be a key growth area for the industry over the next five to 10 years – and we are perfectly placed to take full advantage of this” explains Goldenberg. | <urn:uuid:f8cee3c6-fd54-4c9c-ac41-99caf6175620> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.estateagenttoday.co.uk/breaking-news/2018/11/were-not-bringing-down-rightmove-or-zoopla-says-website-seeking-investors | 2019-08-24T15:25:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.96327 | 490 |

Training children and teens proves complicated for many coaches. You’re constantly battling for attention, balancing desires of parents, and training around busy schedules. On top of that, parents usually come to strength coaches when they’re ready for their child to go to the “next level,” regardless of what that child’s body says. Stick to a few best practices in youth training to keep them healthy while making them stronger, faster, and better at their game.
Keep it simple
When training kids, it can be tempting to jump on the latest gadget or machine. After all, you want them to be entertained and keep their parents happy. Rather than try out the fancy tricks, keep it simple and stick to tried-and-true methods.
Trying to get a young athlete on complicated movements leads to poor form, lack of results, and ultimately wasted time. Stick to fundamentals through multiple planes of motion and progress linearly from there.
Address the “big rocks” first, then you can fill in the holes. Young athletes need to develop a strong core and body control before anything else. Don’t fall prey to pressures of parents and coaches to make them train like a professional athlete. Instead, teach things like solid positioning in a plank, landing technique, and proper push-up mechanics. Keep hammering the basics until they can do them without thinking.
Take home point: Tackle form and movement issues first and don’t rush progress just because you feel like it.
Children (and their parents) want to hit the ground running right away, looking to improve performance as quickly as possible. Don’t just toss a new athlete in with a group without performing an assessment first, no matter how ready they seem.
Along with a general movement screen, some important questions to ask include:
● Injury history
● Days/time spent at practice for their sport
● Previous weight training experience, if any
● Goals and timelines
An assessment allows you to notice which areas need technique work before increasing the intensity. Otherwise, bad habits will build early. On the other hand, some athletes might have skills beyond their years. Don’t hold them back by making broad assumptions based on age or first impressions.
Finally, many coaches ignore mobility when training youth. Maybe they assume kids are pliable and can spring back from anything. While they might not have the limitations as older clients, lack of focus on mobility and flexibility decreases potential performance. A comprehensive training program addresses all elements of conditioning, including mobility, to prevent injury and allow proper recovery. Identify potential mobility issues during assessment and throughout training by devoting individual attention to each athlete.
Take home point: Assess athletes early, create a tailored program for their needs, and continue to reassess as they advance. Progress only comes through long-term, consistent effort.
Long-term athlete development
Proper youth training considers an athlete’s development over the course of a lifetime, rather than overtraining to the point of burnout at a young age. The long-term athlete development model identifies distinct stages of a young athlete’s career after around age 6. As kids leave the first stage of learning how to move, they progress through the following:
-Stage 1: FUNdamentals
Children at this stage learn basic movement skills such as agility, balance, and coordination in an age-appropriate environment. Emphasize exploratory activity over structured instruction to improve ability through repetition.
-Stage 2: Learn to train
Here, youth training focuses on more sport-specific skills. In the gym, this means skill-based drills to refine movements, such as cutting, jumping, landing, and throwing. Strength training should be geared to developing a balanced body in concert with the demands of sport. And above all, keep it fun!
-Stage 3: Train to train
At the onset of a growth spurt, or when kids reach something called their Peak Height Velocity (PHV), they can begin a more regular and periodized program. PHV occurs at different times in different athletes, usually around the early teenage years, and marks enough emotional and mental development to stick to a structured plan. General movement proficiency migrates to a warm-up while strength building becomes the main focus in the gym.
-Stage 4: Train to compete
The final stage of youth training comes when athletes are completely performance-driven. Athletes in this stage may be moving towards collegiate athletic participation or already in a year-round, high-intensity team or competition in their chosen sport. Recovery and management are key elements here, as they’re likely putting more hours in to practice than their body is ready for. Rather than exacerbate the issue by killing them in the gym, balance their strength and conditioning with their sport-specific training. Think tougher off-season and pre-season mesocycles and lighter in-season loads.
Take home point: While biological age doesn’t correlate exactly with a stage of long-term athlete development, it is vital to identify an athlete’s stage of progression.
Careful consideration should be taken at each stage of training to emphasize good progress while avoiding overtraining. In order to guide young people towards a sustainable lifestyle, keep it simple at the start. Fundamentals never get old but get to know when to advance your athletes by consistently assessing their mental, physical, and emotional readiness. Many coaches of youth training may never coach athletes with aspirations to compete nationally and internationally. As such, treat each case with care and truly get to know your athletes as people. Their goals and aspirations should be their own, and make sure it always stays fun. | <urn:uuid:4a9408e6-2bd4-43a1-8990-faefe69418cc> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.fit-pro.com/article-4498-Coaching-Young-Athletes.html | 2019-08-24T16:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.955715 | 1,164 |

Our 2010 Ice-Fishing Forecast
October 04, 2010
Let's take a look at what's in store for winter fishermen and how things are shaping up for the 2010 season. (December 2009)
Empire State anglers have no need to spend the winter hunkered down by the woodstove. There's plenty of hardwater fishing action out there! New York boasts more than 7,500 lakes and ponds and many are open for ice-fishing. Ice-anglers can target walleyes, northern pike, pickerel and panfish this winter, and many waters throughout the state remain open to the harvesting of brown trout, lake trout and landlocked salmon.
Hemlock Lake is a good ice-angling destination for lake trout, browns and rainbows, landlocked salmon, largemouth and smallmouth bass, some good-sized pickerel and black crappies.
The Empire State allows jigging and the use of tip-ups. Allowable baits vary from water to water, as do regulations on specific species, so always be sure to check the current fishing regulations before drilling any holes.
Ice-fishing is a great way to while away these cold winter days -- just be certain there's a safe amount of ice before venturing out. Look for a minimum of 4 inches of solid ice, and remember that ice thickness varies throughout any given water body. Avoid areas of moving water, including inlets, outlets and dams.
There's ice-fishing potential nearly everywhere an angler looks, from Lake Ontario to inland ponds and lakes swimming with stocked trout or big, toothy pike.
Here's a roundup of some of this year's best bets for hardwater action near you:
The New York Department of Environmental Conservation's Region 8 (west-central New York) offers ice-anglers a wide variety of options.
There's no way to talk ice-fishing without a bow to Lake Ontario. This Great Lake gives ice-anglers 326 miles of shoreline in New York state offering excellent fishing for white perch, yellow perch, walleyes, northern pike and panfish.
Some bays worth exploring this winter include Braddock Bay, Cranberry Pond, Long Pond, Buck Pond and Round Pond. At Irondequoit Bay in Irondequoit and Webster, fishing is noteworthy for white perch, yellow perch and walleyes.
Lake Ontario is managed under special regulations, so be sure to check the rulebook before heading out.
Check DeLorme's New York Atlas and Gazetteer maps 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 and 83 for shoreline details and access points to Lake Ontario.
Conesus Lake is the most westerly of the 11 Finger Lakes. The lake covers 3,420 acres, is eight miles in length and about one mile wide. Two miles west of Livonia, Conesus is a drinking water source for several towns. Ice-fishing shacks are prohibited here by local health ordinances.
Conesus is an excellent warmwater fishery, offering hardwater action for northern pike, walleyes, largemouth and smallmouth bass and panfish.
Fisheries biologists report that the walleye population is on the rise in response to annual stocking, and yellow perch numbers are also increasing. The lake has been stocked with tiger muskellunge since 1991.
The Finger Lakes are managed under special regulations, so be sure to check the current rulebook before heading out.
There are several public access sites, including one on East Lake Road near MacPherson Point, about four miles south of Route 20A. Access is also available via the Conesus Inlet Wildlife Management Area off West Lake Road at the south end of the lake. Or, try Pebble Beach at the northwest corner of the lake. There's additional access at the north end of the lake off Route 20A at Sand Point.
Hemlock Lake, also in the Finger Lakes chain, is the water supply for the city of Rochester. A self-service permit is required to fish here.
The lake spans 1,799 acres and is one of only two Finger Lakes with an undeveloped shoreline. Robust populations of smelt and alewives result in excellent trout growth rates. The lake is stocked annually with lake trout, browns and rainbows. There's also a population of naturally reproducing rainbow trout here that originate in Springwater Creek.
Canandaigua Lake's 10,558 acres are in Yates and Ontario counties. This is the fourth largest of the Finger Lakes, with Honeoye, Canadice and Hemlock all nearby to the west.
Canandaigua is an excellent trout fishery. Lakers and brown trout are stocked, and there is a naturally reproducing population of rainbow trout that come in from Naples Creek and its tributaries. The lake also offers excellent angling for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and has enough panfish to keep younger, less patient anglers happy.
Access sites include the Canandaigua Lake State Marine Park off routes 5 and 20 in Canandaigua and a parking area for 80-plus vehicles in Woodville on Route 21, about three miles north of Naples.
Honeoye Lake, 10th in size compared with the other Finger Lakes, is in southwestern Ontario County. This is an excellent fishery for walleyes, largemouth and smallmouth bass and chain pickerel. Walleyes are stocked annually. Access may be had at the southeastern corner of the lake off East Lake Road. There's also access off Sandy Bottom Road at the northwest corner of the lake.
Canadice Lake is the smallest of the Finger Lakes and may by fished by permit only. The lake is regulated by the Rochester Water Department. Thanks to these limitations and the lake's undeveloped shoreline, Canadice offers a remote fishing atmosphere reminiscent of the Adirondacks.
Canadice is home to stocked lakers, browns and rainbow trout and the occasional batch of surplus landlocked salmon. Ice-anglers will find largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel and panfish in the shallower portions of the lake. Access is on the east side near the intersection of Canadice and Birch Hill roads.
Park Station Pond in the Chemung County Park in Erin is stocked with rainbow and brown trout. Trout may be taken here all year, with no size limit and a daily bag of five fish. Public access is off Laurel Hill Road, about three miles north of Route 223.
Ice-fishing opportunities in central New York are no less attractive. Whitney Point Reservoir on the Otselic River in Broome County is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control project. Historically, a 1,200-acre "recreation pool" has been maintained from May through November, and a 900-acre "conservation pool" is maintained through the winter. However, keeping the pool at
1,200 acres was slated to become permanent in 2009, except during summer droughts.
When ice thickness allows, Whitney is the site of the Whitney Point Sportsman's Association's "Almost Annual Ice-Fishing Derby," which targets the lake's abundant crappie population. The lake is also home to walleyes, largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, carp, channel catfish and bluegills.
Walleyes are managed under special regulations, with an 18-inch minimum length and a three-fish daily limit. Fishing is allowed from the first Saturday in May through March 15.
Access is via Dorchester Park off Route 26 about one mile north of the Whitney Point Reservoir Dam. There's also access in Triangle, off county Route 13 at the Upper Lisle bridge (with limited parking) and along Keible Road.
Arctic Lake's 60 acres are within the Oquaga State Park in Sanford. The lake offers good ice-angling for rainbow trout and panfish. Trout may be taken year 'round from this Broome County lake. The daily limit is five fish, with no more than two longer than 12 inches.
Region 7 also offers miles of excellent hardwater fishing along the deep holes and backwater areas of the Chenango and Susquehanna rivers when there is safe ice.
Both rivers are managed under special regulations for muskellunge and tiger muskies. The season is open from the first Saturday in May through March 15, with a 30-inch minimum length and a bag limit of one fish of either species per day.
Anglers should fish the Chenango for northern pike, muskies and walleyes, the Susquehanna for those species plus tiger muskies.
Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 48 for Chenango information, Map 46 for Susquehanna details.
The Salmon River (Redfield) Reservoir in Orwell and Redfield offers hardwater anglers 2,660 acres of opportunity for rainbow and brown trout, walleyes and panfish. Special regulations are in place on walleyes.
The lake is also home to largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch and black crappies. Access is available off the Orwell-Redfield Road, onto the CCC Road, 4.5 miles west of Redfield.
Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 84 for area details.
Perch Lake in DEC Region 6 offers north-central New York anglers a unique opportunity because only ice-fishing is allowed. The Jefferson County lake was added to the Perch River Wildlife Management Area in 1950. The lake was closed to public fishing for over 45 years, and was opened for ice-fishing only in January 1995. Fishing is allowed from Dec. 1 to March 1.
Perch Lake is about 10 miles north of Watertown. The 545-acre lake is most productive for northern pike and yellow perch in winter, but is also home to largemouth bass, black crappies and bluegills.
Don't overlook the St. Lawrence River this winter. If safe ice forms, the St. Lawrence is an excellent warmwater fishery for largemouth and smallmouth bass, muskellunge, walleyes, northern pike, yellow perch, crappies and bullheads. This 1,200-mile river flows out of the northeastern tip of Lake Ontario all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
Access sites are multiple. Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 92 for details.
DEC's Region 5 includes Lake Champlain and all the icy waters of the Adirondack region. How lucky can an angler get, with not one, but two "great" lakes to choose from?
Champlain is home to trout, salmon, northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleyes, yellow perch and muskellunge.
Special regulations are in place on most species in Champlain, so be sure to check the current rulebook before heading out.
DeLorme's NYAG, maps 39, 40 and 54 offer details of the lake's multiple bays and access points.
Lake George in the Essex County town of Ticonderoga is open for landlocked salmon year 'round with an 18-inch minimum length and a daily limit of two fish.
Lake George is also home to lake trout, rainbows and brown trout, pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass and plentiful panfish.
Special regulations apply here for the various trout species. Live bait is allowed, but the use or possession of smelt is prohibited.
There's public access south of Ticonderoga off Route 3.
For details of this and other access sites, see DeLorme's NYAG, Map 89.
For a nice session of fast panfish action and the potential for big northern pike, check out Carters Pond in the Carters Pond Wildlife Management Area along county Route 338 in Greenwich, about four miles west of Salem.
For details, check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 81.
Great Sacandaga Lake in Edinburg and Day is considered one of Saratoga County's best smallmouth bass waters. The lake is also home to walleyes, northern pike, chain pickerel, brown trout, rainbow trout, yellow perch and black crappies.
Special regulations apply to some species.
Fishing the tributaries from the lake upstream to the first highway bridge is prohibited from March 16 until the opening day of walleye season in May.
For access details, see DeLorme's NYAG, Map 79.
Other Region 5 waters worth a look this winter include Moreau Lake, Round Lake and Saratoga Lake. Moreau, in the town of the same name, is considered one of the county's best largemouth bass destinations. The lake is also home to trout, chain pickerel and yellow perch. Trout may be taken here all year, any length, with a daily limit of five fish.
Round Lake in Malta is one of the region's better waters for largemouth bass and northern pike. The lake is also home to tiger muskies and panfish.
Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 66, for details on Malta Lake access.
Saratoga Lake in Saratoga Springs offers ice-anglers opportunities for rainbow trout, walleye, northern pike, chain pickerel, yellow perch and bluegills.
Special regulations are in place on sunfish, which may be taken all year with no minimum size, but there is a 15-fish daily limit.
Public access is adjacent to Route 9P at the northern end of the lake. Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 80, for specifics.
DEC's Region 3 encompasses the Hudson Valley and Catskills areas of New York. This southeastern area of the Empire State offers hardwater anglers plenty of action for trout and all the warmwater species.
Morgan Lake in the city of Poughkeepsie covers 12 acres and is a popular winter trout hotspot. Trout may be taken here year 'round, any size, with a daily limit of three fish.
Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 37 for details.
Silver Lake is located north of Letchworth State Park in eastern Wyoming County. This 836-acre lake in Clinton has plentiful yellow perch, black crappies and bluegills, largemouth bass, walleyes and a naturally reproducing population of northern pike. Northerns here can exceed 35 inches, but most anglers take fish in the 18- to 25-inch range.
Thanks to an ambitious stocking program, Silver Lake walleyes are now self-sustaining as well. The average walleye taken from Silver Lake is between 15 and 25 inches, but some 8-pound whoppers are caught here. Largemouth bass have good growth rates, and there are good numbers of them in the 12- to 15-inch range.
Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 102.
Wappinger Lake in the Dutchess County town of Wappingers Falls provides 87 acres of hardwater fishing for largemouth bass, chain pickerel and pumpkinseeds.
See DeLorme's NYAG, Map 37, for area details.
Orange County ice-anglers can head over to Palisades Interstate Park for a variety of hardwater options. This park boasts several small lakes including Cohasset, Barnes, Kanawauke, Massawippa, Silver Mine, Stahahe, Summit and Lake Tiorati. These lakes, all near Tuxedo, offer good winter fishing for largemouth bass, chain pickerel and panfish.
Round Lake in Monroe is open for trout fishing year 'round with no minimum size and a daily limit of five fish. The 95-acre lake is also home to largemouth bass and panfish.
While in Monroe, plan to drill a few holes in Walton Lake. This 118-acre lake is also open for year-round trout fishing and is stocked with brown trout.
Walton Lake is also home to largemouth bass, chain pickerel and panfish.
Check DeLorme's NYAG, Map 32 for details on both waters.
Chodikee Lake, near the Ulster County town of Lloyd, is another good warmwater fishery, offering ice-anglers a shot at largemouth bass, chain pickerel and panfish.
Access to the 63-acre lake is about five miles east of New Paltz off Route 299. Go north on Chodikee Lake Road for about a mile, and then bear left onto Camp Stuts Road.

New Zealand rapper Scribe will take part in a documentary on the war against methamphetamine, despite facing sentencing for possessing the Class A drug.
Scribe, whose real name is Malo Ioane Luafutu, has been placed on six months' supervision after he admitted to breaching a protection order and wilful damage in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday.
He was earlier found to be guilty of possessing methamphetamine, and is set to be sentenced for that charge in April.
The rapper's defence counsel Elizabeth Bulger told Judge Tom Gilbert how his drug issues have been widely publicised.
"He himself thinks there is something for him to contribute in the war against methamphetamine," Ms Bulger said.
"He has resolved to take part in a documentary which will do just that."
The rapper has now been clean for four months, and hopes to kick-start his music career again.
Scribe also thanked Judge Gilbert, who put him in custody, for the change it's made in him.
Scribe found fame in the early 2000s. His debut single 'Stand Up' won Single of the Year at the 2004 New Zealand Music Awards. | <urn:uuid:e34f08b4-cd76-4a65-a47c-65a15646cf8c> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.georgefm.co.nz/home/culture/news/scribe-wants-to-join-the-war-on-meth-in-an-upcoming-documentary.html | 2019-08-24T16:45:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.982477 | 236 |

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Houston attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

5 Tips for New Scuba DiversSimon Vetterli
I remember it like it was yesterday — my first open-water ocean dive. I was in the Bahamas, and intently listening to the divemaster’s briefing. He explained we’d be making our first dive at the top of a wall. We were to meet at the mooring at about 35 feet and then we’d gradually make our way to the edge of the wall, dropping down to about 90 feet.
Wait, what? Ninety feet, as in 9-zero feet?
I looked around. No one seemed concerned. In fact, people were happily gearing up, and quickly getting into position to giant-stride off the boat.
So I said nothing, even though I had never been deeper than 60 feet, which had seemed plenty deep enough. I concentrated on memorizing the color of the divemaster’s fins, resolving to stay no more than a fin’s length from him.
During the dive, I realized a few divers, including my buddy, were swimming a few feet above the divemaster, though still trailing him. I soon joined them, and my anxiety disappeared.
Back on the boat, my buddy told me he preferred to stay shallower for a couple of reasons: (1) he conserved air and (2) he often found there was just as much to see, if not more, in shallower water.
Now that I’ve got hundreds of dives in my log, I know my anxiety — and my silence — were due to being new. Since then, I’ve learned to ask questions and to let the divemaster know things about me, such as explaining that it takes me a while to clear my ears as I descend.
So, if you’ve just earned your C-card, we’d first like to welcome you to the dive tribe! And we offer you these five tips:
1) Get organized the night before. Check the dive operator’s website for any special instructions, such as what time to be at the boat; what extra gear you’ll need, such as a dive light or surface signaling device; and what’s not permitted on board (some dive operators don’t permit bananas, for example, as superstitious seamen believe they bring bad luck). Read our Dive Boat Survival and Etiquette Guide. Create a checklist of everything you want for the next day’s dive, from your scuba gear to other essentials like a towel and sunscreen. Invest in a dry bag to keep your towel, change of clothes, car keys, money for the crew’s tip, etc. protected from wet gear and ocean spray. Set up a staging station in your living room and pack everything on your checklist. Don’t forget your C-card!
2) Don’t be afraid to ask — anything. Listen carefully to both the boat and dive briefing. You don’t want to be the person who rinses her mask into the camera rinse bucket or who enters an area of the boat that’s off-limits. The crew should cover all the basics, but if they miss covering any detail — from something as basic as where to stow stuff you want to keep dry or something more crucial such as whether you’ll be diving as a group — ask. Chances are someone else on the boat wants to know, too.
3) Get to the boat early. This way, you have plenty of time to set up your gear and get your station organized. Stow stuff you don’t need under the bench or where the crew directs you.
4) Hire a dive guide. If you’re diving solo and you’re nervous, pay a bit more to have a dive guide be your buddy. It’s not that a divemaster won’t be attentive; it’s that he or she has several divers to monitor. A dive guide can give you one-on-one attention, help you relax, and give you tips on improving your skills. And along the way, you’ll be developing confidence.
5) Don’t forget to use your hand signals. It’s easy to remember the OK signal. But when your buddy, divemaster or guide “asks” you if you’re OK, and you’re not, signal to them what the issue is — for example, if you’re struggling to clear one of your ears, waggle your hand and then point to your ear. A good buddy will pause, ascend a few feet and allow you the time to sort out your issue. There are a ton of signals that experienced divers use to “talk” underwater, conveying everything from “I’m cold” to more serious issues such as “I’m low on air.” You can review them in our Scuba Hand Signals video.

The California Supreme Court held a lively oral argument session this morning (May 4, 2016), at 9:00 a.m. in its San Francisco courtroom in the case of Friends of the College of San Mateo Gardens v. San Mateo Community College District (Case No. S214061), which was live streamed for “real time” viewing on the Court’s website. This post attempts to convey a general sense of the Court’s questioning and counsel’s argument in the hour-long session; any mistakes in “translation” are mine, and I apologize for any such errors in advance. (For my prior post briefly describing the case’s facts, legal issues and significance, see “Supreme Court Set to Hear Important CEQA Subsequent Review Case,” by Arthur F. Coon, posted April 26, 2016.)
The questioning at oral argument was dominated by the newest Governor Brown appointees – Associate Justices Kruger, Cuellar and Liu – as well as Associate Justice Werdegar, the current Court’s longest-sitting jurist.
Inquiring of counsel for the petitioner College District, Sabrina Teller, Justice Kruger asked whether, in light of the presumption of finality accorded CEQA review after the time for challenge lapses, it matters how “fulsome” the initial review was, i.e., in terms of a negative declaration versus an EIR. She also inquired (consonant with the issue on which the high Court granted review) whether the College District’s counsel conceded there is a threshold “new project” test where Public Resources Code § 21166 applies and, if so, what criteria would apply to such a test. Ms. Teller responded that there was no such threshold test that could be grounded in the statute or articulated as a matter of law. In response to similar questions from the Chief Justice and others regarding the “fulsomeness” of negative declaration review, Ms. Teller emphasized that negative declarations are subjected to public review and scrutiny, are required by CEQA when an EIR is not, and are not “second class citizens.”
Justice Werdegar inquired whether, if there is “no such thing as morphing into a new project,” a lead agency is free to characterize project changes as a new project “yet a court can never do that?” In response to similar questions from Justice Cuellar about whether the Court should “jettison” Moss v. Humboldt (a case that held as a matter of law that expiration of a tentative map does not convert an identical subdivision proposal into a “new project”), Ms. Teller distinguished Moss on its facts and seemed to indicate that any “internal step” taken by an agency in deciding whether proposed changes amounted to a new project would, if challenged, be subject to deferential substantial evidence review.
Justice Liu – who appears to be enamored with the “fair argument” test, even if not intimately acquainted with its practical consequences – questioned whether Guidelines § 15162 was a “valid, gap-filling” measure, and remarked that its extension of Public Resources Code § 21166’s subsequent review standards to mitigated negative declarations seemed to authorize an “end run” or a “very big loophole” that agencies could potentially exploit.
In response to the Chief Justice’s inquiry whether any case law held that negative declarations and EIRs are “not of equal dignity,” Ms. Teller cited the Benton and Abatti opinions and reiterated that negative declarations “are not second class citizens” under CEQA. In response to Justice Cuellar’s question about whether lead agencies “could take advantage of [a deferential standard of review],” Ms. Teller argued that position impermissibly “presumes bad faith” on the part of agencies and that the reality is that “needs change, land changes hands,” etc., often requiring project changes and modifications after the original approval as a practical matter. She further emphasized that the statute’s proper focus is the “increment of change in the environment” between the already approved project and the changed project, and that if a court could decide the project is “so different” that the agency should go back to a “fair argument” standard, it would likely require the agency to do a subsequent EIR even applying the substantial evidence test to the factors of Public Resources Code § 21166 and CEQA Guidelines § 15162. However, Justice Liu noted such a test “gives agencies more leniency in decision-making.”
Susan Brandt-Hawley, arguing for the respondent Friends group, when asked by Justice Liu whether negative declarations were “second class citizens,” acknowledged that they are “certainly valid” under CEQA, and that 90% of projects may proceed under such documents, but also asserted they are “very different” from EIRs and that “the whole negative declaration process relies on the fact that there is no fair argument [of environmental impact].”
In response to Justice Cuellar’s questioning, she argued that the Lishman decision got the result right, but should have held that Public Resources Code § 21166 did not even apply to negative declarations. Much questioning ensued from the Justices as to whether this argument – which Ms. Brandt-Hawley characterized as being raised “in passing” to the Court of Appeal – had been properly raised and preserved below. Justice Kruger characterized the argument as appearing to be a “substantial shift” from the issue on which the Court had granted review to resolve a split in authority. Ms. Brandt-Hawley further asserted that Lishman was correct in positing a two-part test under § 21166 in which the “new” versus “modified” project question is the threshold inquiry. Regarding the threshold question under such a two-part test, Justice Cuellar pressed: “If you had to write the rule, what would you put in the rule?” Ms. Brandt-Hawley responded with an example she saw as fitting the facts of the instant case; i.e., where the first project is to “save or preserve an environmental asset” and then the subsequent project “destroy[s] it.”
Justices Kruger and Cuellar both questioned the “practical legal differences” between the tests being advocated, with Justice Kruger asking whether proper application of the factors of § 21166 would be sufficient to address any concerns with the adequacy of the initial document. Ms. Brandt-Hawley responded that the statute distinguishes between EIRs and negative declarations, and that there is no presumption of validity for a negative declaration when a “fair argument” is presented.
Justice Liu appeared to toy with the notion that Guidelines § 15162 could be upheld as a “valid, gap-filling measure” while invalidating tits application of the substantial evidence standard of subsequent review in cases where the initial document is a negative declaration. Ms. Brandt-Hawley insisted that Guidelines § 15162 needed to be changed to remove all references to negative declarations, and that the seminal Benton case “created the problem” because it was “incorrect and led to the improper Guidelines language.” She also attempted to cast doubt on the legal validity of the use of “addendums” to EIRs and negative declarations, arguing they were solely a “creation of the Guidelines” and did not provide for a public review process.
Justice Werdegar pressed Ms. Brandt-Hawley on how a “new project” test would be applied (as in this case) to components of a “huge” project: “How do we break it into parts?” When Ms. Brandt-Hawley responded that a new project would be found where there is a “180-degree” change as to a component – i.e., an area previously slated for preservation is to be demolished – Justice Werdegar asked: “What if [that is viewed as] a substantial revision that has new environmental impacts?” In summarizing her position, Ms. Brandt-Hawley repudiated any such “effects based” test, arguing that the “new-project” test she advocated should depend “not [on] the scope of the environmental impacts, but [on] whether [the modified proposal] was within the scope of the earlier EIR.” Stating “I don’t want to say intuitively,” she indicated that her proposed test for a modified project would be satisfied where it is “basically the same project but with a few changes.” The Chief Justice appeared skeptical and remarked: “We would need to define a new test.” In response to Justice Werdegar’s questioning, Ms. Brandt-Hawley confirmed she was, indeed, arguing that whenever a negative declaration is approved or amended – including in the subsequent review context – the “fair argument” standard of review must be applied.
In her rebuttal, Ms. Teller pointed out that even if the challenges to Guidelines § 15162 now being argued by Friends had been preserved, a “clearly unauthorized and erroneous” standard applies to such questions and had not been met. Further, in response to Ms. Brandt-Hawley’s arguments regarding CEQA’s statutory language, she pointed out that Public Resources Code § 21080.1 applies a presumption of finality and conclusiveness to an agency’s determinations on negative declarations as well as EIRs. Ms. Teller pointed out that no court has held the relevant Guidelines sections invalid and indicated there had been much reliance upon them over the years by courts and agencies.

Activist shows support for ban on sunscreens that may harm coral reefs
One of the world’s sunniest spots just took a stand on two sunscreen chemicals that scientists have said are hurting the coral reef ecosystem in the Florida Keys.
By a 6-1 vote Tuesday night, the Key West City Commission banned the sale in the city limits of sunscreens that contain the ingredients oxybenzone and octinoxate. The ban will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2021.
The ban represents an effort to protect the only living coral reef in North America. Researchers have documented how the chemicals have been harming the reef, leading to bleaching, DNA damage and death of the corals.
“We have one reef, and we have to do one small thing to protect that. It’s our obligation,” said Mayor Teri Johnston before the vote, which came at 10:41 p.m. Tuesday.
City Commissioner Greg Davila was the lone dissenter, saying, “We’re not giving residents the freedom to choose what sunscreens they want to use.”
The vote came after more than a hour of public speakers on the issue. Almost all were in favor of the ban.
“Oxybenzone is an oil and it floats on the surface,” said Patrick Rice, chief science and research officer at Florida Keys Community College. “These items should be banned as they have no place in our waters in the Florida Keys.”
Hawaii last year became the first state in the country to ban over-the-counter sunscreens that contain the two chemicals, with the new law taking effect Jan. 1, 2021.
Many who support the ban say it’s a step in the right direction to preserve the reef.
“It’s not really not an emotional issue; it’s really just science,” said Joe DiNardo, a toxicologist who worked on the Hawaiian ban. “It’s hard to do something about global warming. We can do something about chemical pollution today and that’s what the whole concept is about.”
Each year, between 4,000 and 6,000 tons of sunscreen washes off into reef areas, according to the National Park Service, which recommends sunscreens that contain titanium oxide or zinc oxide, two ingredients that have not been found harmful to corals.
Like Hawaii’s leaders, Key West city commissioners heard quite a bit from Craig Downs, whose 2015 peer-reviewed paper documented how the two chemicals were helping to destroy the corals.
“At the very least, it’s an incremental stressor in a system that’s already stressed beyond its capacity,” said Rivah Winter, curator of Aquarium Content and Marine Science in Miami.
“At this point, there’s enough evidence to suggest it might be causing some additional stress,” Winter said. “These coral reef systems are incredibly valuable ecosystems that are already stressed. If there’s any little thing we can do like this to make a difference, I think it’s worth pursuing.”
But some branches of government have yet to tell beachgoers to avoid oxybenzone and octinoxate.
Oxybenzone, first approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a sunscreen ingredient in 1978, is recommended in a 2018 traveler’s guide by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as something to look for when choosing a chemical sunscreen to block ultraviolet A rays.
The multibillion-dollar sunscreen industry fought the ban in Key West, sending in a scientist who said more studies were needed to decide whether the chemicals harm the coral reef.
Some dermatologists and industry lobbyists showed up to say banning the sale of such sunscreens would increase rates of skin cancer and likely discourage people from using any at all.
“That’s just a scare tactic they’re using,” said Dora DeMaria, education coordinator for the group Reef Relief, a Key West nonprofit. “We’ve had sunscreen for a very long time and people are still getting skin cancer.”
“We see this as a public health issue,” said Carlos I. Gutiérrez, of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, which urged the commission to defeat the proposal. “Whether you vote for the ordinance or vote it down, you’re not going to see coral thrive in Key West unfortunately.”
Governments should be encouraging greater use of sunscreen, he wrote in a letter to commissioners.
A study published last year in the American Academy of Dermatology acknowledged there is “emerging evidence that chemical sunscreen ingredients” could affect coral reefs, but said further study is needed.
The CHPA and the Personal Care Products Council, both trade associations, put out a statement before the Key West vote.
The groups said they “urge Key West City citizens and Commissioners to halt the proposal for a sunscreen ban, and encourage the city to conduct more research to understand the real causes of coral decline, such as global warming, pollution, overfishing and agricultural runoff.”
But a scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the research documenting the toxicity of oxybenzone on corals is already extensive.
In a 2017 letter to Hawaii state Sen. Will Espero, Cheryl Woodley, of NOAA’s Coral Health and Disease Program, said enough evidence shows oxybenzone is toxic to coral and threatens overall coral reef health.
“Additional research on the impacts of oxybenzone should not be a prerequisite to management action,” she wrote. | <urn:uuid:2b123d57-49b6-44bf-af2c-82b5fe064f05> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/florida-keys/article225224305.html?utm_source=STAT+Newsletters&utm_campaign=9b1ad42649-MR_COPY_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8cab1d7961-9b1ad42649-150441797 | 2019-08-24T15:40:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.938957 | 1,186 |

African Diaspora Accent (Hazel Holder & Joel Trill)
The African Diaspora Accent (ADA) focuses on accents and dialects born or evolved through the presence of diasporan ethnic groups, in particular, those of sub-Saharan African descent. The programme began in 2017, and actors have already been able to take advantage of Nigerian, Ugandan, Jamaican, Trinidadian and African American accent workshops. The workshops are designed to be inclusive, dynamic and playful, and so incorporate a plethora of activities that facilitate discussion, analysis and embodiment of this broad and rich variety of accents and dialects.
Exploration of the different types of RP (Deborah Garvey)
This workshop offers a chronological practical exploration of four accents which fall under the umbrella heading of Received Pronunciation or RP: Period or Heightened RP; BBC 50's English; Standard RP; and Modern Chelsea Set. Selected dramatic texts and recordings will be used to practically explore and interrogate common and distinctive features of each of the selected four accents.
Refining an Accent - Intonation Patterns (Mary Howland)
A lot of time is given to speech work and to text work, but an element of vocal communication that is often overlooked is intonation.
It can be the element of accent work that can make it sound fully authentic, and the element of text work that can make the text sound spontaneous and fully owned.
It is an element of English speech that can be the unlocking of fluency in second language speakers - or first language speakers, come to that.
This workshop will be looking practically at how to decipher intonation - how to accurately describe what it does, where it does it, and how it varies, depending on thought, emotion and accent. It will help you to explain why ‘downward inflections’ are not always appropriate, the usefulness of ‘uptalk’, to be more accurate than ‘it goes up and down a bit’, and to help connect thought and breath to word, especially in sight reading and classical text.
Singing in an Accent (Anne-Marie Speed)
Why do so many British performers find it hard to sing in their own accent? Learning how to sing in your own accent as well as learning how to sound authentic when singing in another accent is an essential skill for MT performers and CCM artists. Singing in your own accent is often neglected while the influence and impact of singing in another accent on your own sound is often underestimated. This workshop will address how to sing anything in your own accent and also how to maintain your own sound when singing in a different accent.
Space Exploration (Edda Sharpe)
seeing, hearing and feeling your resonant space.
We all know how tricky it is when we ask clients to ‘raise the back of the tongue’. And let’s be honest, it can even be tricky for voice professionals, too! And what about when a vowel is not quite right, but you just don’t know, or can’t explain why? What strategies do you have to correct it?
Having a strong sense of the inner workings of the resonant space is a key skill when it comes to being able to transform our own speech patterns into those of another accent, and even more so when we are teaching and coaching others. It can also revolutionise the way we experience and explore sound.
In this workshop participants will develop a strong auditory-visual-kinaesthetic map of the resonant space in their mouths. We will identify 8 ‘stopping points’ or landmarks in that map, (also known as ‘cardinal vowels’) against which all other vowels can me mapped. We will take away the distracting resonance of the voice, so that our sense can concentrate on what’s really happening with the resonance in the mouth.
The session will be pulled together by applying the skills to a wonderful, uplifting Proclaimers song.
Accent and Voice - developing individual vocal potential (Barbara Houseman)
Thankfully the days are fading fast when one accent is seen as better in terms of vocal quality, range or expression. Less and less students are expected to conform to an single idea of a good voice. How then do we find more objective criteria for fully developing voices in a way that keeps their individuality?
This practical workshop will explore aspects of voice training and question how we can ensure that we develop voices in a way which respects and reflects the individuality of each voice?
Original Pronunciation Workshop (Tim Charrington and Yvonne Morley-Chisholm)
Yvonne and Tim will time-travel through a few centuries to consider and explore Original Pronunciation. Their main focus will be on the OP that Richard III would have spoken while also considering Chauceran and Shakespearean OP. There will be opportunity for participants to try it out for themselves and there will be time for discussion and questions.
Joel Trill & Hazel Holder
The Case for Speech Training (Anne-Marie Speed)
Many voice teachers lack both the skills and confidence to lead classes in effective speech training. This is partly due to a misunderstanding of what ‘good’ speech is when considered outside of the parameters of accent and the absence of classes in speech training in most voice teacher education programmes. Clear speech is not the sole preserve of one particular accent and its role in acting and singing as well as performance value is seriously undervalued. This session will outline the case for a reappraisal of the role of speech training within drama schools and identify the clear benefits it brings to all actors and singers, regardless of genre or accent.
How has the African Diaspora Accents project supported actors in training and performance?(Joel Trill and Hazel Holder)
In this presentation/paper, Joel and Hazel discuss how the ADA project was born from a shared desire to support actors who identify with multi-ethnic and or African diasporic heritages. They will also discuss, the ways in which the concept of a ‘safe space’ has shaped and informed their approach to the work, thus far; prompting them to make a commitment to offering their clients, and participants alike, place of ’radical openness’!
Accent and Identity (Aundrea Fudge)
How does the way we speak determine our identity? Can changing your accent change your identity? In this presentation we'll explore the basic fundamentals of sociolinguistics, language/accent acquisition, and cultural theory in an attempt to better understand the social impact of language and accent. Does the way you speak determine the way you see the world or is it the world that determines the way you speak?
A Voice for Richard (Yvonne Morley-Chisholm and Tim Charrington)
Yvonne and Timwill present the research that is currently in progress to give voice to the late King Richard III. The presentation will also include a brief sample of the Ricardian Original Pronunciation. | <urn:uuid:8de51605-8eff-47d6-920c-9c54af6bb185> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.midlandsvoiceconference.com/Conference-Details.php | 2019-08-24T15:45:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.92587 | 1,574 |
What our customers say about us...
Everybody at Motorlux was really nice. The process quick and easy and my questions were patiently answered. Would recommend.
2nd September 2017 - Nieves C
We have just purchased a car from Motorlux Ford. Ian was friendly helpful and professional and that made the experience reassuring and easy.
26th August 2017 - Michael F
This is my first experience of buying a car through a dealer/garage rather than an individual and I found the process easy and efficient. They were flexible when I first went in and I had changed my mind on the car I wanted to test drive. The process was clear throughout and they were helpful with the various options I could get with the car in terms of service packages and warranty.
14th August 2017 - Christopher F
I found the experience of buying a car from Motorlux in Wantage was exceptional. On entering the dealership, the staff were totally professional, I had made an appointment with the salesman and he, was prepared for my visit. His approach was very friendly and made you feel comfortable. He took me through each stage of the transaction and nothing was too much trouble. On the day I collected my car again everything had been done from collecting the car to it being valeted. I also had a follow up call asking if I pleased with the car and if there was anything else I needed help with.
1st August 2017 - Wendy R
Have visited many car dealers but this was the best. Ticked all the boxes when buying a car. All the sales people were friendly and very helpful. Bonus garage mechanics on site. Excellent.
26th July 2017 - Sandra R
Very easy to deal with, staff had good knowledge of the cars and no pushy sales pitch stuff. They did offer me GAP and Warranty extension but in a casual manner and didn't push it too hard. I would recommend them.
10th July 2017 - Andrew C
We recently bought a car from Motorlux and we were extremely pleased with the service we received. Ian was really helpful and very easy to talk to. It was the smoothest experience I have had of buying a car and I would definitely use Motorlux again and recommend them to friends and family.
3rd July 2017 - Claire C
Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable, friendly and great prices.
7th April 2017 - Mark L
Accurately described and well priced. Service was relaxed and not pushy. Left to consider all options offered in a pleasant and relaxed manner. Well satisfied.

In a great combination of timing and coincidence for the Nationals and their fans, Monday is Military Appreciation Night at Nats Park.
The event, which was scheduled prior to Sunday’s historic announcement of Osama bin Laden's death, will now have deeper meaning to many fans.
The team will pay tribute to members of all five branches of the Armed Forces, as representatives from each division will take part in the following pregame festivities:
- Ceremonial First Pitch: U.S. Army
- Lineup Card Delivery: U.S. Marines
- Starting 9: Representatives from the Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Navy, ANG and ARNG
- Game Ball Delivery: U.S. Air Force
- Play Ball: U.S. Coast Guard
- National Anthem: U.S. Navy
- Color Guard: U.S. Army
There will also be a pregame flyover by the U.S. Coast Guard, while videos of active duty service members in Iraq will air on the scoreboard throughout the game. The Nationals will debut their blue patriotic uniforms -- which feature the stars and stripes “Curly W.”
Thousands of complimentary tickets will be donated to military personnel and their families prior to the game. Military personnel can receive four complimentary tickets with a valid ID, available for pick up at the Grand Staircase Box Office beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Tickets may also be picked up prior to the game at the Main Box Office during non-game hours.
We’re not going to wax poetic about the role the military has played in the progression of recent world events. But if you’re at the game and cross paths with some of our brave men and women in uniform, consider thanking them. They deserve it. | <urn:uuid:134cc9fe-c70c-4545-a7cf-0762726c8f3a> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.nbcwashington.com/blogs/capital-games/Nationals-Military-Appreciation-Night-Is-Well--Timed-121090939.html | 2019-08-24T17:11:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.951162 | 371 |
Posted: 05/10/2010 | May 10th, 2010
While there, I saw a Canadian girl checking out of the hostel. The girl had not one, but TWO Canadian flags on her backpack. As the summer backpacking season begins in Europe, I’m seeing a lot more Canadians and Americans traveling… and thus, Canadians wearing their flag.
And, also, a lot of Americans pretending to be Canadian.
Now, I don’t begrudge Canadians for putting their flag everywhere. If Canadians want to show their patriotism, let them. Everyone should be proud of where they are from — good or bad, your home is your home.
Except, sometimes, I don’t think it’s always patriotism that prompts Canadians to put the flag everywhere. They say it’s patriotism but I don’t fully buy that argument. Everyone is proud of where they are from but have you ever seen another nationality wear their flag in such great numbers as Canadians? No, you don’t.
I really think it’s a secret desire to say loudly to the world, “I AM NOT AMERICAN. STOP CONFUSING ME WITH THEM!”
I’ve been in hostels long enough to know that anyone with a North American accent is assumed to be American. And thus, I think Canadians over the decades must have gotten a little annoyed by this and decided that if they have their flag everywhere, no one will make that assumption. I think it’s a bit silly (New Zealanders are always mistaken for Australians, but they don’t wear the flag everywhere!), but to each his own.
It’s now a tradition.
It’s just what Canadians like to do.
While I may find it amusing that Canadians love to wear their flag, what I really take issue with is Americans…specifically, Americans who say they are Canadians.
While playing poker at the casino later that same night, I was surrounded by two Americans, some Dutch folks, and some Iranians. The New Yorker to my left and I struck up a conversation, and he mentioned that he never tells people he’s American. He always says he’s from Canada. The world apparently hates Americans, and he’s always been afraid he would be on the wrong end of some American bashing or kidnapping. Or maybe a beheading. He wasn’t quite sure what was going to happen, but he was adamant that “the world hates America.”
This is one of the most vicious misconceptions in America, and it really grinds my gears.
As a world traveler since Bush was in office, I can tell you that the world does not hate Americans. It’s not anti-Americanism, but anti-American governmentism (read: Anti-George Bushism and now Anti-Trumpism) that exists in the world. Sure, some people might hate Americans and America, but 99.99999% of the people I’ve met and discussed this issue with don’t. Even if they start off saying they do, when pressed, they usually admit it’s the government they don’t like — not the people.
Turning to the Iranians, I asked them where they were from. Without hesitation, they said Iran. With Iran in the news lately for its nuclear program and the memory of the election crackdown last year, Iran doesn’t have a very popular image in the world. I asked the Iranians if, even though most of the world has bad things to say about Iran, they ever would say they were from somewhere else. Again, without hesitation, they said no. And why should they? Their government may not be great, but that doesn’t mean the country and the people aren’t. The Iranians love their culture and their history and would never hide from their identity, no matter how bad their present situation may be.
The American travelers I meet might be ashamed of our government, but many also seem to be ashamed of just “being American.”
On the road, you face a barrage of questions about government policy and are expected to repent for all its sins. It gets annoying. I’ve answered the “Why did you elect
Bush?Trump” question more times than I can count. But I’ve never told someone I was Canadian. I never would. Imperfect as America is, it is still a great place to be, and it is still my home. I am an American. Even if I spend my life in France, I will always have my American roots with me.
When I meet American travelers who say they tell people they are Canadian, it boils my blood like no tomorrow. I usually end up saying something to them. If you are so ashamed to be American and would rather claim to be Canadian, move to Canada. By lying, you are perpetuating the myth that the world hates America and that we should all be afraid.
More importantly, as an American traveler, you have a chance to dispel the myths about America.
By being an ambassador for your country, you can show the world what they see on the news about the states is not correct. You can show them we are great people. That we aren’t who is in office. We are more than that.
I don’t like the Iranian government. I think they do awful things.
But I’ve met a lot of Iranians over the years, and I think they are wonderful people. And every travel report I’ve heard from Iran always speaks about the immense hospitality of the people there. The Iranian people dispel the myth that “Iran is bad.”
At that poker table, I asked the Iranians if they ever thought about lying about where they were from.
They gave a resounding no.
“Persians are proud of our heritage,” they said.
So dear Americans, your interactions overseas can help dispel the myths about our country. It’s your chance to show people we aren’t the loud, obnoxious, crazy, gun-wielding, obese idiots the world thinks we are.
Telling people you’re Canadian destroys that chance.
But, more importantly, it creates the image that America is a place to be ashamed of and that we would rather pretend to be Canadian than be proud of our home. It’s a cop out, plain and simple. If you are too embarrassed to say where you are from, then maybe you shouldn’t live there.
One of the ways travel changes the world is by breaking down barriers. But telling someone you’re a Canadian when you aren’t just reinforcing negative stereotypes and myths.
If you want to avoid politics, avoid it. Change the subject.
But don’t lie about who you are.
This is your chance to educate and connect.
Don’t ruin it because of the American media’s myth of a hateful world.
Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks
Book Your Flight
Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner or Momondo. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.
Book Your Accommodation
You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the largest inventory. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels. I use them all the time.
Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. I’ve been using World Nomads for ten years. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

According to a new survey report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 84% of organizations are now using social media for recruiting, up from 56% in 2011. These survey results add detail and paint a picture of what has become obvious: more and more, employers are posting job openings and information for job seekers on social media. And when these posts are not accessible, employers may be missing out on top talent.

The CCPA is pleased to introduce our 2016 Calendar: An Agenda for Social Change. This is about more than keeping you organized – each month identifies and describes key dates in Canada’s social justice history. Each day readers have an opportunity to explore how debates about equality, gender, environment, First Nations, labour, trade, and social programs shape our development and identity.
It’s an accessible way to learn about the creation of key programs such as health care, paid maternity leave, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Readers will also learn the history behind the underfunding and dismantling of other initiatives such as the Court Challenges Program, Status of Women, and the Kyoto Accord. This is an innovative and original resource that provides an opportunity to remember our achievements (and where we need to keep working) on a daily basis while still being a functional – and beautifully illustrated – way to stay organized (and aware!).
This year's calendar is packed with interesting historical facts and accessible story lines for each key date. Pick up one for yourself and another for a friend: it’s guaranteed to change the way you look at our history and the debates and decisions that continue to shape it.

Sister Mary Rose of Lima
1873 - 1939
On June 3, Sister Mary Rose of Lima (Catherine Crowley) died at St. Vincent de Paul Hospital, Brockville.
Soon after profession Sister was appointed Secretary at St. Vincent de Paul Hospital, an office which she faithfully fulfilled for many years with marked ability and success. As Local Superior she spent six years at St. John’s Convent, Gananoque, when that mission was first opened.
Returning to St. Vincent’s she gladly resumed light duties and responsibilities, which her health would permit. Finally as an invalid she was subject to years of suffering and privation in spite of the care and devotion of her Sisters in religion. Here where her last days were spent, she was a helpless invalid, both physically and mentally, a sad contrast to her former activity of body and mind. | <urn:uuid:4e7a8e1a-de68-41d9-a0fb-2429e173d093> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.providence.ca/our-story/obituaries/sister-mary-rose-of-lima-crowley/?return=%3Flocation%3Dgananoque%26page%3D2%26startrow%3D11%26nextnid%3DB5021C46-155D-11DA-0090C740546C854A | 2019-08-24T16:17:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027321160.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824152236-20190824174236-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.979535 | 179 |

Ultracapacitor Offers 75-Foot Read Range for Passive Tags
Storing energy from a small solar panel enables the passive UHF S/Cap tag to perform like a battery-assisted tag.
Jun 29, 2011—Enable IPC, a technology-development startup located in Madison, Wisc., has announced the availability of its new passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tag, known as the S/Cap tag, which it claims can be read from a distance of 75 feet. The tag, designed for asset-tracking applications, performs like a battery-assisted tag, but instead of a battery uses an ultracapacitor to boost the inlay's read distance.
An ultracapactitor is a very powerful capacitor—a device used to store an electric charge, which can be utilized with or without a battery. Ultracapactitors can take and release a charge faster than batteries can, as well as withstand more charges and discharges than batteries can accommodate.
South Korean tag manufacturer RF Camp provides the EPC Gen 2-compliant UHF passive RFID inlay used in the S/Cap. RF Camp has also announced plans to resell and distribute the S/Cap tag in South Korea. EM Microelectronic supplies its EM4324 integrated circuit for the inlay. The ultracapacitor is connected on a circuit board to both the tag's chip—via a bonding pad originally designed to mount a battery to the chip for a battery-assisted passive (BAP) tag—and its antenna.
The S/Cap tag is the first in a line of RFID tags that Enable IPC plans to produce, all using ultracapacitors (also known as supercapacitors) rather than batteries to extend the tag's range.
The ultracapacitor still requires a power source to obtain the energy it stores, the company notes. The S/Cap employs a small solar panel mounted on the tag's face to power the ultracapacitor. This means it works well outdoors, says David Walker, Enable IPC's CEO. However, he says, the solar panel can still generate power from indoor light. Even if the tag is placed in darkness for many days, he adds, it will still remain readable, since it is a passive tag that receives energy from a reader—but the extended range, made possible by the solar power, will be lost.
In the presence of light, Walker explains, the S/Cap tag has a read range of 75 feet. Metallic surfaces or other conductive materials, he notes, can detune the RF antenna and reduce the range, as with an ordinary UHF tag, but the company is currently developing a metal-mount version, designed to overcome this limitation.

War voyeurs: Israeli tourists watch Syria battles from safe distance (PHOTOS)
In this day and age, whale watching apparently just doesn’t cut it any longer.
It’s far more entertaining to watch your neighbors bomb and shoot the living daylights out of each other – from the safe distance of, say, the Golan Heights.
This is, apparently, the latest craze among Israelis, who flock to vantage points near the country’s border with Syria to observe the ongoing clashes, according to the Times of Israel.
Armed with binoculars and cameras, throngs of Israeli and other tourists have been seen heading to Golan Heights. Live action enthusiasts were hoping to catch a glimpse of the savage fighting, which have been steadily increasing in the 17-month Syrian conflict.

But the distance, apparently, is far too great to get a full scope of the carnage, so the spectators have to be content with the sounds of gunfire and explosions.
The trend was unwittingly started by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who visited the Golan Heights to assess the level of danger to Israel’s IDF from the conflict in Syria. Images of the minister broadcast on TV seem to have triggered an unexpected reaction among both Israelis and visitors to the country.
In fact, the draw of the conflict is so great that tour operators are reportedly thinking about putting Syrian conflict-watching on the list of available itineraries.
Those most concerned about the situation appear to be Israeli security forces, who say they’re doing their best to keep the war-watchers away from sensitive army installations along the Israeli-Syrian border.
