The five men charged with illegally importing 661 pump-action rifles into Nigeria will open their defence on April 6, 2019 after the Nigerian Government on closed its case against them on Monday.
The defendants in the charge filed before the Federal High Court in Lagos are Mahmud Hassan, Oscar Okafor, Donatus Achinulo, Matthew Okoye, said to be at large, and Salihu Danjuma.
They were first arraigned on June 14, 2017 before Justice Ayokunle Faji.
After calling its ninth witness on Monday, the prosecuting counsel for the Federal Government, Julius Ajakaye, told the court that the prosecution would be closing its case.
The judge adjourned till April 4 for the defendants to open their defence.
In the charges against them, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice said the accused brought 661 pump-action rifles into the country from Turkey through the Apapa Port in Lagos, using a 40-foot container, which they falsely claimed contained steel doors.
To facilitate the illegal importation, the accused allegedly forged a number of documents including a bill of lading, a Form M and a Pre-Arrival Assessment Report.
According to the prosecution, in order to evade payment of Customs duty, the accused allegedly forged a bill of lading issued at Istanbul on January 9, 2017, falsely claiming that it was issued at Shanghai, China.
In the forged bill of lading, they allegedly filled “steel door” as the content of the container instead of rifles.
They were also said to have allegedly offered a bribe of N400,000 to an official of the Nigeria Customs Service attached to the Federal Operative Unit to influence the said officer not to conduct a “hundred per cent search on the 40-foot container with number PONU 825914/3.”
The prosecution also alleged that the first accused, Hassan, corruptly gave N1m to government officials at the Apapa Port in order to prevent the search of the container by Customs officials.
In the last count, the Federal Government alleged that the defendants had between 2012 and 2016 illegally imported several double-barreled shotguns, pump-action rifles and single-barreled shotguns into the country through Lagos.
The eight counts pressed against them border on conspiracy, importation of prohibited firearms, forgery, uttering of forged documents, and bribery.
The offences were said to be contrary to sections 1(2)(c), 1(14) (a)(i) and 3(6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2014. | <urn:uuid:d3ec0d86-b637-451b-9d41-075a32303bae> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://shipsandports.com.ng/alleged-importers-661-pump-action-rifle-importers-begin-defence-april-4/ | 2020-10-23T02:57:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.963428 | 548 |

Hi darlings, another weekend, another batch of links to help combat Sunday Night Blues. Blog posts about Beyonce, New York City, and lipstick coming this week, plus some thoughts on body modification, unintentional five-year planning, and second hand shopping coming to a blog near you. I’m trying to flex my writing and creative muscles again after far too long a hiatus. Here are your links, let’s talk about creative droughts and social reform in the comments.
First and foremost, the US news has been horrible this week. Just awful. The violence against black lives, the angry retaliation, the desperate, desperate need to build trust between communities fractured by decades and centuries of confrontation and animosity… Get involved. Volunteer with organizations that speak to you. For gods sake vote. Speak up. The only thing that is going to make a difference in changing an entire culture is by intentional action. Meanwhile, this piece on one of the shootings, is required reading.
Notable #girlgang moments from June, rounded up for your reading pleasure.
This tumblr find of the week highlights the glory and the crazy of the online make up fandom. Mostly the crazy. And bad spelling.
Great piece from Monkey See on the ridiculous standards of women in the public eye to be both ethereally and unnatural beautiful, and still seem approachable and (if you’re a heterosexual male, generally speaking) sexually attainable.
I made these (ridiculously easy) “tacos” this week and the recipe gets the seal of approval. | <urn:uuid:0152f9f4-8e38-4d5f-9b69-17af294fb08a> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://smalldogsyndrome.com/2016/07/10/weekend-links-34/ | 2020-10-23T01:46:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.940676 | 353 |

Edinson Cavani admits he was flattered to receive praise from the like of Robin van Persie and Rio Ferdinand after completing his deadline day move to Manchester United.
The vastly experienced Uruguay international was released by Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season and received a number of lucrative offers from Europe’s heavyweight clubs.
After assessing his options, the 33-year-old decided he could no resist the temptation to test himself in the Premier League and signed a two-year deal worth £200,000-a-week on Monday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the luxury of being able to choose from three of the most exciting young forwards in Europe with the likes of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood all at his disposal.
The nous and goalscoring instincts of Cavani will hand Solskjaer a different option, however. Van Persie, whose goals inspired United to their most recent league title seven years ago, had been championing the signing of the former Napoli forward as far back as February, while Ferdinand also revealed he had contacted the player in an effort to sound him out.
Responding to Van Persie’s recommendation, Cavani told United’s official website: ‘These are the kind of pleasant things that football can give you.
‘When a players of that ilk and players of that quality within the game, give you a… how can I put it, make a comment, or express their opinion about me and speak in those terms.
‘I thanked him the first time he’d spoken about me, I thanked him on social media. And he replied to me and also showed his kindness, his appreciation and his admiration as a footballer.
‘These are the nice things that come out of football, that you take on board, and they are useful to you as motivation for what lies ahead.’

First principles: It is currently impossible to know how many people are infected, where they are or who they are. The safest and most cautious thing to do is to assume that any person with whom you have contact may be capable of passing the illness to you. It is vital to understand that the point of these precautions is not only to safeguard you and your family members, but equally important is the need to “flatten the curve” to slow the epidemic so that everyone (including the most vulnerable) are protected and so the health care system doesn’t get overwhelmed with sick patients.
Here are ten basic things that everyone should be doing all the time, starting today:
- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water, rubbing all parts of your hands for 20 seconds (especially after you cough, sneeze or blow your nose). When you can’t wash your hands, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. If you can’t find any hand sanitizer in stores, make your own using this recipe.
- Put alcohol-based hand sanitizer by the front door of your home and in your car. Try to make it a regular habit to have each person in your household use it each time they go in or out of the house or car.
- Bump knuckles or elbows in public instead of shaking hands.
- Avoid contact with high-touch surfaces in public places, such as doorknobs and handles, handrails, shopping cart handles, elevator buttons, light switches, and public transport seats. Use your elbow (or a gloved hand) to open doors.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, your sleeve or your elbow.
- Try not to touch your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth (unless you wash your hands first).
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick (especially if they are sneezing, coughing, or have runny noses).
- Avoid crowds, especially in closed, indoor spaces. Limit unnecessary travel and contact.
- Regularly clean and disinfect your home to remove germs, especially on high-touch surfaces with disinfecting wipes or a solution of bleach and water. Wiping surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, handles, toilets, faucets, cell phones, countertops and steering wheels once a day is recommended (more if someone in your household is sick).
- If you feel sick, take your temperature with a thermometer and stay home. Don’t go to work or school. Call your doctor, report your symptoms and ask for advice. Do not go to the emergency room or urgent care center unless it is an emergency. If you find you are having trouble breathing, have chest pain or have sudden confusion, don’t wait, call for help and dial 9-1-1. | <urn:uuid:781758f5-a8c4-4ba5-8ce0-a0af32883a79> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://thomasglassphd.com/covid-19/everyday-precautions/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-10-23T03:08:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.935275 | 593 |
On mods.tikiwiki.org (soon to have new theme) I have a star system there based upon users groups. Whilst Ive modifed the smarty routines to automatically display and select the correct one. Im guessing to change the colour of text or items your going to need to introduce some new CSS classes or new fields in users_users and do some serious template working to get them to display correctly.
With the forums I guess you could check the first character of each line for a > sign and work on the level and enclose it into a span tag.

Can you maintain a hybrid car in the Philippines?By maigne on March 26th, 2020
Is it possible to maintain a hybrid car in the Philippines?
- It’s similar to maintaining a gas engine
- Battery care and maintenance
- Keep your car cool
- Less overall maintenance
You dared to move away from the conventional car and got yourself a sustainable hybrid in its place. And as you enjoy the smooth, quiet ride and the large chunk of savings from what used to be piled gas bill receipts, you start to wonder: is this really sustainable for me? Can I maintain a hybrid car in the Philippines? The answer is a resounding “yes”! It may seem from the get-go that a hybrid car is too complicated or too uncommon, hence it will be a real pain to fix and expensive to keep functioning optimally. Check below for a few insights on why you shouldn’t worry about keeping your hybrid car in tip-top shape.
It’s Essentially Just the Gas Engine
Most of the maintenance you need to do is the same as a regular car. The majority of the things you need to watch out for are not on the electric motor, but still on the Internal Combustion Engine (or ICE). You have to do the rudimentary inspections and check-ups for that side of the engine, so it will be a familiar and very similar process as with any regular car and auto repair shop. So dispel the fears that tell you “it’s expensive to maintain a hybrid car” because it really is essentially the same deal.
Battery Care and Maintenance
It’s more about adjusting and re-learning your habits on car care when it comes to a hybrid vehicle. To charge your batteries correctly, you have to charge it only once every two weeks. During the time that you leave if juicing up on electricity, ensure that all the electrical accessories of the car are switched off – the air conditioning and the radio/audio devices. This will help you prevent draining the auxiliary battery excessively.
For added safety precautions, you should disconnect the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery before you start cranking it up for your next drive. And watch out! Check that the tailpipe is connected to an exhaust hose before starting the hybrid system in an enclosed space (like an indoor garage). This will help you avoid creating a possibly dangerous build-up of fumes.
Now for your car’s hybrid battery, the interval between charging the system is once every two months. Then, do the same routine and necessary safety steps as with the auxiliary battery.
For an optimal charge level, you should try your best to keep it between 40 to 60 percent charge, avoiding extreme drainage and overcharge. This will let your car perform best and make the system run efficiently.
Additionally, your vehicle should have a standing warranty on the battery, so if any problems arise, just head to your dealer and simply have it replaced.
Keep Your Cool New Car Cool
One thing to watch out for with an electric battery pack is that it can generate large amounts of heat from powering its regenerative braking system. Monitor the temperature of the clamps, pipes, and hoses of the electric motor. Also, with our climate and especially during the peak summer seasons, try to keep your hybrid vehicle parked indoors or in a shaded garage.
Less Overall Maintenance
Because of the dual nature of the hybrid car, the fuel engine and electric motor share the workload on the road, which in turn effectively balances the wear-and-tear of the other. Functioning correctly, your hybrid vehicle can switch off the ICE engine to a complete stop and run at limited speed or cruise using only its electric motor. So that also means that the internal parts of the hybrid vehicle have better overall longevity, and makes the need to maintain a hybrid car less frequent.
The regenerative braking feature of hybrid cars can off-set the need for higher levels of friction and heat from the traditional brakes. Of course, as mentioned earlier, you should also get used to the regenerative braking system when you drive for you to enjoy less wear-and-tear on your brake pads.
You won’t need to do as many oil and air filter changes as they typically have better lifespans in the standard make of hybrid electric vehicles. All this said, you need fewer routine check-ups for your hybrid car, as its system is built to be more self-sustaining.
Check-in With Your Technician
But if you do happen to run into some engine trouble, it’s best to go straight to the specialists to avoid any electrical hazards and to ensure that the interconnected I.C.E., electric motor, and transmission are tended to as one integrated component, with professional equipment and tools.
Having a hybrid vehicle allows you to enjoy less strenuous maintenance and less frequent need for check-ups, especially when coupled with adjusted driving habits to maximize its features. Worry no more because now you know that it is certainly possible to maintain a hybrid car here in the Philippines. | <urn:uuid:5ba85217-b9f6-482f-9a13-db307f772ad3> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://toyotaquezonavenue.ph/blog/maintain-hybrid-car-philippines/ | 2020-10-23T03:32:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.946065 | 1,044 |

In addition, participating property owners sponsored their doors to help pay for a portion of the installation costs to help stretch the BLINK Program funds, and increase the amount of doors that were able to be included in this inaugural outdoor gallery
Starting May 8, pick up a collectors Guide at the Downtown Madison Visitor Center by Lisa Link Peace Park, or at the Visitor Booth at the Top of State Street. See if you can find them all. #DowntownDoors

Egypt has a sincere political will to reach a binding agreement with Ethiopia and Sudan and it hopes that US mediation will lead to positive results, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said.
Shoukry accepted the invitation of the US administration to a meeting in Washington to facilitate negotiations and resolve disagreements, expressing Egypt’s hope that this meeting will lead to a binding legal agreement that fulfills the interests of the three countries and guarantees Egypt’s water rights.
Shoukry said in his speech during the plenary session of the Arab Parliament in Cairo Thursday that Egyptian national security is an integral part of Arab and African security, calling for concerted Arab and African efforts to stimulate Ethiopia to reach a just and balanced agreement that achieves the interests of the three countries.
Egypt is one million square kilometers and has a population of 104 million people. The per capita water share is 750 square meters and is expected to decline to 550 square meters by 2020. He added that Egypt is one of the countries suffering from severe water poverty, and the Nile River is a lifeline for this problem, meeting 70 percent of the country’s water resources.
Egypt has been engaged in intensive negotiations with Ethiopia and Sudan since the unilateral announcement by Ethiopia to start the construction of the dam in early 2011. Negotiations aim to reach an agreement on the rules for filling and operation the dam, Shoukry mentioned.
Ethiopia’s unilateral declaration to start building the dam violated international law regarding international notifications and the need to conduct environmental studies and assess the impact on downstream countries prior to the commencement of the project, he added.
President of the Arab Parliament Meshaal bin Fahm expressed the solidarity of the Arab parliament and its keenness to protect Egypt’s water security and its legal and historical rights to the Nile.

The renaissance of South Beach started in the early '90s and is still continuing as classic cuisine gives in to modern temptation by inevitably fusing with more chic, nouveau developments created by faithful followers and devotees of the Food Network school of cooking. The ultimate result has spawned dozens of first-rate restaurants. In fact, big-name restaurants from across the country have capitalized on South Beach's international appeal and have continued to open branches here with great success. A few old standbys remain from the Miami Vice days, but the flock of newcomers dominates the scene, with places going in and out of style as quickly as the tides.
On South Beach, new restaurants are opening and closing as frequently as Emeril says "Bam!" Even in an economic downturn. And, ironically, most are upscale. As it's impossible to list them all, I recommend strolling and browsing. Most restaurants post a copy of their menu outside. With very few exceptions, the places on Ocean Drive are crowded with tourists and priced accordingly. You'll do better to venture a little farther onto the pedestrian-friendly streets just west of Ocean Drive.
Inexpensive -- Don't miss the South Beach branch of the Gold Coast's fun and tasty Taverna Opa (36-40 Ocean Dr., 1 block south of 1st St.; tel. 305/673-6730) in South Beach.
Miami Beach to North Miami
The area north of the Art Deco District -- from about 21st Street to 163rd Street -- had its heyday in the 1950s when huge hotels and gambling halls blocked the view of the ocean. Now, many of the old hotels have been converted into condos or budget lodgings, and the bayfront mansions have been renovated by and for wealthy entrepreneurs, families, and speculators. The area has many more residents, albeit seasonal, than visitors. On the culinary front, the result is a handful of superexpensive, traditional restaurants as well as a number of value-oriented spots.
North Miami Beach
Although there aren't many hotels in North Dade, the population in the winter months explodes due to the onslaught of seasonal residents from the Northeast. A number of exclusive condominiums and country clubs (including William's Island and Turnberry) breed a demanding clientele, many of whom dine out nightly. That's good news for visitors, who can find superior service and cuisine at value prices.
Downtown Miami is a large sprawling area divided by the Brickell Bridge into two distinct areas: Brickell Avenue and the bayfront area near Biscayne Boulevard. You shouldn't walk from one to the other -- it's quite a distance and unsafe at night. Convenient Metromover stops do adjoin the areas, so for a quarter, it's better to hop on the scenic sky tram (closed after midnight). Thanks to the urban renaissance taking place in downtown, a lot more hip, chichi, and bona fide foodie-caliber restaurants are starting to pop up. The Shops at Midtown Miami, 3401 N. Miami Ave. (tel. 305/573-3371; www.shopmidtownmiami.com), for instance, is the quintessence of urban revival, featuring anchor stores like Target and Marshall's and some really good restaurants including a branch of NYC's mod Mexican spot Mercadito and Sushi Samba's hipper sister, the tapas-oriented Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill. That said, while it's safe(ish) to walk the Shops at Midtown, surrounding areas not so much. Perhaps one day soon, it'll be safe to walk through the city at night from one hot spot to the next. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but then again, South Beach used to be unsafe as well.
The main artery of Little Havana is a busy commercial strip called SW Eighth Street, or Calle Ocho. Auto-body shops, cigar factories, and furniture stores line this street, and on every corner there seems to be a pass-through window serving superstrong Cuban coffee and snacks. In addition, many of the Cuban, Dominican, Nicaraguan, Peruvian, and other Latin American immigrants have opened full-scale restaurants ranging from intimate candlelit establishments to bustling stand-up lunch counters.
Key Biscayne has some of the world's nicest beaches, hotels, and parks, yet it is not known for great food. Locals, or "Key rats" as they're known, tend to go off-island for meals or takeout, but here are some of the best on-the-island choices.
Coconut Grove was long known as the artists' haven of Miami, but the rush of developers trying to cash in on the laid-back charm of this old settlement has turned it into something of an overgrown mall. Still, there are several great dining spots both in and out of the confines of Mayfair or CocoWalk.
Getting Back Into the Grove -- Aging hippies may recall Coconut Grove as a hub of all things peace and love. When the '60s ended, the beatniks made The Grove a retro-fab kind of town. Then came the '80s, and the Grove was as dead as Joplin and Hendrix. The '90s saw a resurgence with CocoWalk, whose sole purpose was to attract tourists, locals, and college students to its open-air debauchery, which went bankrupt in 2009 but still continues with Fat Tuesday's (tel. 305/534-1328) and Hooters (tel. 305/442-7283). Cafe Tu Tu Tango changed things a bit with its then-unique tapas-only menu and excellent sangria, but it closed in 2008. So did Dan Marino's, a sports pub and grill owned by the former Miami Dolphin. Unbelievably, so did the Cheesecake Factory. Today, Hooters is alive and well, as is Fat Tuesday's and Cheesecake Factory. Joining the group is a Chili's (tel. 305/772-5472). It's nothing innovative or spectacular, but it may suit this town well, like an old Crosby, Stills & Nash song.
Coral Gables is a foodie's paradise -- a city in which you certainly won't go hungry. What Starbucks is to most major cities, excellent gourmet and ethnic restaurants are to Coral Gables, where there's a restaurant on every corner, and everywhere in between.
South Miami & West Miami
Though mostly residential, these areas nonetheless have several eating establishments worth the drive.

He may still be looking at jail time.
It's been a two year battle between 40 Glocc's attorneys and Minnesota prosecutors. In 2017, the California rapper was attending a funeral when he was shot twice. A month later, undercover officers reportedly arrested Glocc in a prostitution sting in connection with an unidentified woman. According to reports, a "client" contacted a woman they'd seen on the now-defunct Backpage.com. The person was put in contact with male individuals who orchestrated the meet-up, and Glocc allegedly drove the woman to the location. Unbeknown to Glocc or the woman, the entire meeting a ruse by the police department.
After dropping the woman off, The Game's longtime foe reportedly tried to speed away but was later apprehended. He was arrested and charged with promoting the prostitution of an individual, engaging in the sex trafficking of an individual, and fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle. The case has dragged on for years, but according to TMZ, it will soon be over as the rapper has struck a plea deal with the prosecution.
The outlet reports that 40 Glocc has pleaded guilty to one felony count of promoting the prostitution of an individual. The plea deal won't get Glocc out of serving time but he will be able to lessen the blow as he's looking at anywhere between four to twelve months behind bars. | <urn:uuid:9fc4f5d2-7e6f-4227-8640-1b30f27fcd09> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/40-glocc-secures-plea-deal-in-prostitution-sting-case-report-news.93893.html | 2020-10-23T03:06:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.974819 | 279 |
The menu: PORK LOIN WITH A CRANBERRY PORT WINE REDUCTION. PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ROASTED YUKONS. WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH GARLIC AND PINE NUTS. FIGS TWO WAYS: FLOATING DRUNKEN FIGS ATOP CREAM CHEESE/RICOTTA CUSTARD WITH HIMALAYAN SEA SALT, AND DRUNKEN FIG AND BLUE BERRY HAND PIES.
I'm not sure how we got to the point where we had to theme every night of the week for eating or drinking. Maybe it started with TGIF and went down hill from there. Really, can't we just take it as it comes? Do we always need a favorite, a title, a process to help us choose which food we eat which night? (Is my voice getting higher???)
My husband grew up eating spaghetti every Wednesday and of course fish every Friday, and I'm pretty sure there was a pork chop that came around most Mondays. And now I can't get him to do anything regularly. It ruined him forever. He makes sure EVERYTHING is different every day. Sure, I had roast most Sundays, and I regularly requested lemon meringue pie for my birthday, but overall, food was an adventure in my house, and there WERE NO RULES.
Which is why I kind of hesitate to post a TACO recipe I created on a TUESDAY. Aaacckk. How did that happen? At least it isn't a MEATLESS MONDAY recipe. Those make my eyes roll. (Unless it's one I have downloaded, repinned, or "hearted" on Instagram, you're excluded of course. Ha!) I mean what's next? WAGYU BEEF WEDNESDAYS, THUMBPRINT COOKIE THURSDAY and heaven forbid, FLOURLESS FRIDAYS?
But then I realized, I am breaking my own rule, the one about there being no rules. So whatever happens on Tuesdays is fine, even if I have inadvertently followed a culinary acronym that gives me a shiver. Heck, this came together in minutes and was fun, spicy and fresh. You might even want to try my BLACK BEAN AND ARTICHOKE TACO CUPS WITH MANGO DRESSING AND HERBED RICE to see for yourself. And if you make it, you might fill the tortillas with something else, and not even call it a TACO, so what the heck and I freaking out for????
Let's just say, my husband is waiting for SILENT SATURDAY -- with a side of SHHHHH...ain't gonna happen.
My Dad is a huge fan of my cooking. Suffice it to say he IS MY groupie when it comes to what I put on a plate. Certain I should be hanging among the culinary superstars, there is a perpetual insistence I have my own show, my own food line, and my own restaurant.
Maybe someday, but for right now, "bless his heart!" (And isn't that how you should be viewed by your Dad?)
To let him know how much I appreciate his fabulous, if not somewhat biased view of me, I invited him over for a Father's Day Brunch that featured all the manly, rich, buttery, and meaty food he loves so much. But -- with a girly twist so I could have a little fun, too.
At the starting line are the eggs. MAN VERSION: Lots of buttery scrambled eggs and cheese, with onions. GIRL VERSION: A light Frittata featuring peppers, scallions, squash, chevre cheese and fresh rosemary and thyme. Maybe even dotted with fresh raspberries?
Next is the bread. MAN VERSION: A hot, flaky southern biscuit that is barely recognizable under the butter that is slathered upon it, and is eaten is seconds. GIRL VERSION: Bite sized, garlic and Parmesan biscuits to dip into the maple syrup...more on that later. (BTW, all I did was add a handful of fresh grated parmesan and some pureed roasted garlic to the Bisquick Recipe for biscuits on the box and then a little extra milk.)
Finally, the meat!!! MAN VERSION: Anything from the pig! And then give me something gooey to dip it all in like a great, sugary syrup. GIRL VERSION: Hot Sausage Mini Medallions finished with a Thai sweet chili syrup.
Finally we have to have something with oranges. I mean, who doesn't start their Sunday breakfast with oranges? MAN VERSION: Squeeeeze those oranges and let me gulp it. GIRL VERSION: Delicate and composed into a piece of art with a chocolate graham crust beneath a thick, sweet Valencia orange pudding that is topped with a decadent cocoa cream mousse.
Okay, and the resulting opinions are -----
MAN VERSIO....ooops. It's already gone. Please excuse yourself after you burp.
GIRL VERSION: Ah, the juxtaposition of flavors and textures! Sharp and tangy, creamy and crunchy, colorful and artistic! Oh my how the goat cheese pairs wonderfully with the sweet onions, raspberries and syrup. The vegetables are brought to life by the rosemary and the thyme and the sausages floating in that hot, sweet syrup are the bomb! Uuuurrrp. -- Ooops. Guess I liked it too.
Folks fuss formidably over what to fix for friends. They're finicky and fretful; fawning over a flambe, flummoxing over fake frills, and fumbling fricasseed fowl for feckless festivals that fail. They're fugitives from folly, forthright in their fanaticism that it takes forever for food that's fetching.
I am fond of formality, yet to this formula I say, "foo-foo." I'm a Frau, whose frisky filosophy is this: forty-minutes + fish = FABULOUS.

Charlotte, NC is slowly evolving into a more sophisticated location for outstanding restaurants. One of my favorites, and a darling of southern fare is Tupelo Honey. This is their second restaurant, the first enjoying phenomenal success and fame in Asheville, NC. Fresh, and inventive, dozens of southern favorites dominate the menu. I love it all.
Last Sunday we brunched our way through a few dishes and I ordered their sweet potato pancakes. That is a bit of an understatement as the two flapjacks were more like loaves. Easily an inch or more thick and sporting a diameter that would make a Frisbee jealous, they were dotted with pecans, and served with a crunchy granola. The only problem, and it was only a problem seeking a solution, was the fact that I had about 4 bites and I WAS FULL. I couldn't imagine leaving them behind, and no one at the table wanted these tempting manhole covers in their fridge. So, I packaged them up and waited for inspiration.
Not long after reaching my kitchen, and peering in to the paper to-go container, I realized these would make a fantastic bread pudding. I had a bit of french bread left over to stretch them, and eggs, sugar and cream always fix everything. Take a look at this YUMMY repurposed dessert, my SWEET POTATO PANCAKE BREAD PUDDING WITH MAPLE BRANDY CREAM.
A fork is one of those amazing inventions. Important in a way that transcends most tools it elevated us from caveman fingers eaters to full blown snooty diners. Tines, (I love that word,) are to food what Cupid's Arrows are to hearts and what sugar is to chocolate - transformational.
My latest tine tale begins with a cantaloupe that although appeared fine when wrapped upon by my knuckles in the produce aisle, turned out to be too ripe and a bit too mush even for an uber-loupe-lover like me. Then, while using my fork to create some pretty marks on the inside of my pie crust one day, it hit me that a Granita was the answer to my fruit woes. Cool, refreshing, colorful; this is a the grown-up answer to the Sno-Cone and you'll have so much fun serving it.
It was easier than I ever thought, and although it's a little high maintenance; scraping through the frozen tundra of orange mush every 30 minutes, it produced a very WOW-worthy dessert. Tine-ly Tenacious of me, don't you think?
For the longest time, I had a rather unsentimental view of beets. Fed to me from a can, warmed to a slow death on my school lunch tray, and enemy of all white apparel; these were my deeply held beliefs and what I thought were valid reasons to take the long way around the buffet line. Of course things change, and you are introduced to the finer side of a beet. That included having them on a salad, or with pickles and chicken breast. Not very sophisticated but at least a step in the right direction.
Soon I had my first brush with the elegance of this misunderstood tuber and delved into a plate of roasted beets, thinly sliced, and sprinkled with delicious condiments one might find ONLY in a very snooty restaurant...and I was hooked.
My first salad of this genre was at a farm-to-fork restaurant The Local Dish in Fort Mill, SC. And it was there that I was served my first "golden" beet. Later I began to see it prepared by some of my favorite TV chefs, read about it in Food and Wine, and saw it featured in nearly every hot spot. Gosh, it appears this little item was no menace after all. In fact, it was the darling of low maintenance veggies. Subtle in flavor, tolerant to cooking and favorable to so many accompaniments.
Dang it all, it was time for me to create a dish of beets myself.
Washing a fresh beet and the long leafy stalk is like laundering the great, purple train of an exotic European costume. The graceful greens are variegated and intensely patterned. Their texture, soft and velvety. At the end is this beautiful claret pearl whose shape is somewhat reminiscent of the clever swirl at the top of a Dairy Queen soft serve with the tendril at the end extending several inches outward, as though its search for water was insatiable. I almost hated to cut it off. But even better rewards were in store.
After a good bath, and a snip at top and bottom to create the easy-to-love orb, I wrapped it in foil, pierced each with a sharp blade about three times, and put them in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. When I removed them from the oven and then from the foil, they retained their beautiful shape even after sitting for about 10 minutes to cool slightly. Never yielding to the wilting heat, they gave up their skins willingly, cleanly, and without effort, yet the insides were bright, smooth and soft, without being mushy.
When cooled, the art began. I sliced them thinly, arranging them carefully around the perimeter of a dish; one gold, one red, one gold...and so forth. Then I layered them with paper thin slices of white sweet onion. Then, drizzled a mild olive oil on them, and ladled a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. I then scattered julienned strips of fresh garden basil. After that, was a smattering of chopped salted cashew pieces? Finally I gave them a fine dusting of cracked pepper, a loving arrangement of pink Himalayan sea salt, and then in the middle, spooned a lovely, white dollop of Greek yogurt. To make it pretty, I put a series of long, blanched green bean along the corner, slit lengthwise to reveal the delicate little pea-shaped seeds in the middle.
Then, oh yes. Then...I grabbed my fork and ate like a crazy woman. Well! I was hungry! And, pretty darned proud. I can honestly say that now it is my NEW favorite salad - SERIOUSLY it is GOOD.
There was something in the air today. I felt it, my family felt it, my friends felt it, too. It was just hopeful. Colors were brighter, and it seemed all was right with the world. Add to that a carton of bulgingly beautiful blueberries and you have the makings of a berry good day.
As I improve my craft, baking has always been on the back burner. But today I came up with a mix for these LEMON THYME BLUEBERRY MUFFINS without missing a beat. And they turned out spectacular. Adding a bit of inspiration from the garden, my recently planted lemon thyme smelled and tasted like it would add tremendous flavor that wouldn't overbear or even be recognizable. And instead of any oil, some light sour cream and moist brown sugar brought it all together. Once out of the oven, I confess. I couldn't wait for them to cool. Popping one in my mouth I first tasted the warm brown sugar. Then the lemon zest and blueberries were almost perfumed yet balanced with the addition of the thyme, and allspice. In total, it was just was I had envision on my tongue.
To serve I topped it with lemon juice and powdered sugar mixed together, made even more tantalizing by squirting a small but meaningful amount of vanilla into its white folds. Laying a small sprig of deep green lemon thyme across the top, and my dish was complete. Ooh! Aahhh! MORE! That IS was a GOOD day sounds like.

Languages – Spanish
The number of pupils studying Spanish has increased greatly in recent years, partly as a result of the national trend, and partly as a result of the infectious enthusiasm and expertise of a thriving department here at King Edward’s.
The teachers in the department, many of whom are native speakers, have an in-depth knowledge of the Spanish language and of Spanish and Hispanic culture, and their passion is readily transmitted to their pupils. There are also two Spanish Language Assistants who work with pupils at all levels of the School.
We have successful and well-established links with Spain: a regular visit to Cataluña for members of the First and Second Years, a Homestay and language lessons programme in the Third and Fourth Years, and an annual study week in Salamanca for Sixth Formers. | <urn:uuid:68d21893-e42a-4903-9146-6960fa54bd5e> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.kes.hants.sch.uk/academic/curriculum/languages-spanish/ | 2020-10-23T02:28:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.975496 | 166 |
Indonesia - Jun 11 - Jun 30, 2019
Ayu did a perfect job planning our 3 weeks Indonesia trip (Bali, Java, and Nusa Penida).
She was very responsive to our needs and requests, and her choices of drivers and guides were excellent. About half of the trip was in various parts of Bali, and we only had a driver in that part. Our driver's name was Agus, and in our view he did a very exceptional job with our trip. The only reason he was a driver and not a guide was, his English is a bit limited, but it was more than enough for us. (Agus knows Japanese and is often a guide for Japanese groups). Agus was very informative and friendly, and at the end of the trip he was a dear friend to all of us. The remaining guide/driver choices of Ayu were also excellent; we had no difficulties during the entire 3 weeks(from landing to Bali to taking off). I highly recommend both Ayu as a travel specialist, and Agus as a guide/driver. | <urn:uuid:87b29e00-7e67-42cb-ad80-9e187b0bcf53> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.kimkim.com/trip-reviews/LgL9BMzv | 2020-10-23T02:36:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.995103 | 222 |

14th March 2018
An online panel discussion with Hayley Newman, Richard Parry and Morgan Quaintance.
The short panel debate will take place during DACS’ Annual Strategy Day, as we think about the context in which artists are currently working and how best DACS can support artists and artists’ estates in the future.
The event will be an opportunity for you to join a discussion about the political, social and cultural complexities around artists’ engagement with art institutions and the art market. Our panel of speakers will be exploring questions of power, transparency and the circulation of capital in the art world and how these impact artists.
The debate will be followed by a short Q&A. Get involved. You can tweet us any questions for the panel before or during the event @DACSforArtists. | <urn:uuid:b4d95f70-99b5-4e1b-9603-632c34161c3c> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.lewishamarthouse.org.uk/artist-development/richard-parry/ | 2020-10-23T02:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.942181 | 168 |
Enlarged prostate can be effectively treated with surgery
A common rite of passage for men as they age is an enlarged prostate gland, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). "As the prostate enlarges, it starts to encroach on the urinary canal. That makes it more difficult for urine to come out freely, making the bladder work harder to get the urine out," explains Lawrence Sigler, MD, chief of urology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital.
"So, most men as they age can expect some increase in urinary symptoms, which include nighttime urination, slower flow, more difficulty emptying the bladder and a more urgent need to urinate." Men may also experience a need to urinate more often, urinary tract infections and reduced kidney function, depending on the severity of symptoms.
Left untreated, BPH tends to worsen over time. Doctors initially use medications such as alpha blockers, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, and antimuscarinics to treat symptoms. "We always try medicine first. There are also minimally invasive procedures that can be done in a urologist's office," says Dr. Sigler. However, he adds, "Surgical options are going to give the best results. Surgical procedures have a better success rate because you're actually removing a significant amount of tissue. With minimally invasive procedures, you're not removing as much."
The gold standard of surgical treatment for BPH is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Here, doctors shave away extra prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow, thereby increasing the urine channel and allowing men to more easily empty their bladders.
Lawrence Hospital surgeons also have expertise in performing TURP with lasers. "We have several different lasers that we use," says Dr. Sigler. "These bring somewhat less trauma to the prostate, so patients get out quicker and with potentially less blood loss," he notes. And Lawrence Hospital may be the sole New York hospital with dual wave laser surgery for BPH."This gives better control of bleeding for more accurate treatment," notes Dr. Sigler.
For TURP and its variations, patients typically spend one or two days in the hospital. "Post-operatively, they can get back to work within a week or two but have to refrain from heavy activity for about a month," says Dr. Sigler.

Jon Day, previously one of the directors with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) —the agency tasked with overseeing the grandfather of modern marine-protected areas (MPAs)—says that while passing the Marae Moana Act is an important step on the journey to responsible ocean management, it is just the first of many steps.
“Oceans are a vitally important part of how the health of the world continues, especially as oceans cover over 70 per cent of the surface of our planet,” Day says. “Large MPAs can play an important role in the conservation of these areas. But just because you set aside a large area for conservation doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be well-managed.” In other words, closing the gap between intention and action takes a lot of work.
Day became involved with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) in 1986, a decade after the Australian Parliament passed the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act. In 1975 when the Act was proclaimed, time was of the essence because mining and drilling projects were being proposed and the public was concerned.
Initially, the Act did little more than set an outer boundary within which a marine park could be declared; it would be 13 more years before the park was spatially managed, or zoned. Similar to Marae Moana, the GBRMP is a multiple-use MPA, meaning various activities, including different types of fishing, are allowed in various zones.
Before the Cook Islands passed the Marae Moana Act, Day advised Jacqui Evans, now the director of Marae Moana, that the best course of action would be to “just start somewhere”. He explained that though every place is different, in his experience the process of zoning a large area of ocean took years, was controversial, and depended on genuine engagement with the community.
“We zoned the GBR Marine Park in stages over many years,” Day recalls. “We didn’t do it all up front. We zoned just a small part and learnt lessons and then zoned another. … When I spent time with Jacqui in the Cook Islands, I suggested they might try to set the park up in stages. [I said] follow the Great Barrier Reef model—put in place an outer boundary with a long-term vision and then spend time working with the community, bringing them along on the journey.”
Day has documented the lessons he learnt working with the community. In 2017, he published a paper in the journal Coastal Management identifying 25 ways park managers can truly engage. In the paper, Day describes the tools that were useful in the Great Barrier Reef zoning process, including a simplified fact sheet written in layman’s terms and devoid of terms like “biodiversity”, telephone polls to find out what “the silent majority” was thinking, a visually appealing brochure, and making maps and zone coordinates widely available.
Among the most effective tools were the well-advertised community information sessions held at various locations, during which planners and park managers would be stationed at a school or another public place between 3pm and 7pm, available to answer questions.
As a result of these tools, public participation led to “ huge changes during the planning process”, according to Day’s paper. In the end, park managers took into account the best available science as well as more than 31,000 public submissions.
Even now, decades after being zoned, the GBRMPA continues to face some opposition. Day says park management is often about compromise.
“Fishers and environmentalists both have a legitimate interest in the resources within an area,” he says. “The best method is to ensure that both can co-exist while minimising the impacts on the other. You’re rarely going to have a win-win for everyone. It sounds lovely but it’s almost impossible. You have to aim for the best possible compromises.” He adds that once a marine park is zoned, it must be continually and carefully managed.
“Information changes, the distributions of species change, threats change and social attitudes also change… so you have to periodically adapt management and update the way you interact with people,” he says. “Today we recognise that some of the measures we put in place years ago were no longer adequate. The ocean is a huge, fluid, interconnected ecosystem. It changes daily with the tides but also with the seasons and with climate change so there is a need to continually review management to see what’s working and what needs to be improved.”
The Marae Moana Technical Advisory Group has been tasked with preparing procedural regulations for the spatial planning of Marae Moana; this will represent the next major phase of planning the Cook Islands’ multi-use marine park.
“Based on the GBRMP model, we can see that it takes years to develop a good marine spatial plan that is accepted by most,” says Evans, who is working with a committee to determine the most effective and sustainable financing mechanisms for Marae Moana. “We’re aiming to do ours by 2020. This is a very ambitious deadline because a lot of our marine space is deep ocean and it’s very expensive to collect deep ocean data.”
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. government has offered financial support for this work. Further support could come from NIWA, New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Evans says. The Seabed Minerals Authority will be contributing any data collected by companies who procure a licence to explore the Cook Islands’ seabed. –Release | <urn:uuid:170eaf59-2a38-48bd-b220-c0416e17d41a> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.maraemoana.gov.ck/news/marae-moana-act-just-the-first-step/ | 2020-10-23T01:54:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880519.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20201023014545-20201023044545-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.9613 | 1,196 |

Vanessa posted a photo of the new ink via Instagram on Tuesday (October 13). She got her family's names tattooed on her foot in cursive handwriting. The tattoo also includes the names of her two other daughters, Bianka and Capri. Tattoo artist Mister Cartoon created the elegant tribute.
"#MiFamilia Thank you @misterctoons," Vanessa wrote in the caption alongside a red heart emoji along with the Los Angeles Lakers' signature purple and gold hearts.
See the photo, below.
This isn't the first tattoo Vanessa has gotten since Kobe and Gianna's tragic passing. In February, she got a "sweet message" from Gigi tattooed on her wrist. "Shoutout to @nikkohurtado for coming over and helping me get my Gigi’s sweet message transferred on me," she wrote in an Instagram post. The video filter makes it unclear what exactly the message reads.
Vanessa also got a tattoo of a message from Kobe on her neck. It was done by the same tattoo artist, Nikko Hurtado. "I wanted my boo boo's @kobebryant sweet message transferred on me," she wrote on Instagram. "@nikkohurtado came through for me. Thank you! #inked."

SPIRIT HEALTH RETREAT
27 May to 31 May 2021
hosted by Madhavi & Debbie -
Woman Only -
in Algarve nestled away in a Natural Park near famous Coast of Aljezur -
a 20ha offgrid brand new eco retreat centre that will bring
peace & inner health.
Highlight of the retreat :
Madhavi & Debbie will come down from the seat of a teacher and open their hearts to invite you in. We deeply understand from experience as mothers & entrepeneurs that we are all women going through stages in life in a force that can reveal sometimes the unpleassant. Sometimes a 'time out' seems so far away for a healthier holistic living, or worse, we even sometimes think we can not be missed in our conditioned routine & habits. Getting a likeminded group of women together that seriously like to invest & retreat to realize via daily dialoque about the deeper philosophy of life.
Where the heart is full the cup is waiting to be shared.
Madhavi & Debbie have walked many years a path of self realization that offered by their spiritual teachers with a stable daily meditation- & yoga asana practice. They share ancient wisdom from the Yoga Philosophy, in a down to earth way, that can easily be implemented into your daily life. Long refreshing beachwalks along the ancient coast lines of Monte Clerigo and going off the beaten track into the famous trails of Costa Vicentina Natural Park. And of course we didn't leave out the food. You will be treated and inspired by the amazing local young lady Ana. She will cook 3 vegan meals a day to keep us vibrating and healthy.
We aim to give you a backpack full of inspiration for a yoga way of living!
Madhavi & Debbie met 7 years ago at a Yoga conference in Munich. They became instant friends. Over years this became closer and they shared many deep realizations on motherhood, setting up their own individual business, read the same books and ofcourse also about their relationships, this with many laughters and tears on all topics. Always highlighting the best qualities of the other in the end of every conversation to summarize and remind the other we are spirit souls living in a demanding material world. They started to dream about hosting a retreat to empower other woman on living a more simple life with this higher conscious way of thinking. Sharing this lifestyle seems more then essential in the time we are living.
Madhavi lives in Ingolstadt-Germany with her husband and two kids. She practices Bhakti Yoga for almost 15 years, which includes Mantra recitation and singing, vedic philosophy and lifestyle. She is teaching Harmonium and Mantra in private classes and workshops on a regular basis. For the last 4 years she loves and shares doTERRA essentials oils professionally.
At the retreat Madhavi will lead daily Mantra Meditation and she´ll share her experience and knowledge about the healing power of essential oils and how they can bring balance and healing for body, mind and spirit.
is building a retreat centre / permacultural farm in Algarve together with her husband and daughter Jeya. She is also founder of OHMat and Yoga teacher for many years. She has been teaching in Holland, Bali and now in Algarve.
Her teaching are gentle in a Hatha flow with much attention to the subbtle energy and inner peace. Just like Madhavi she practices Bhakti yoga now for 7 years. She will bring the teachings of the asanas and guide the circle ceremonies in a dialogue, aiming to bring the uniqueness of every person on the retreat outward through Yoga philosofy, Bhagavad Gita using day to day situations that we all go through. There is always unity to find through duality of every single being.
Our Vegan cook Ana
Ana is a gorgeous local young woman. She is a plant-based chef with her own local guesthouse. She just recently came back from Bali studying in Ubud at a place that was one of Debbie’s favorite at the time she was living there. Ana’s plantbased food is made with a heart of sincere love for cooking and mother Earth. When you lay your eyes on her food, your mouth becomes a waterfall ready to jump in and benig swept away by your own tastebuds! She can cook macrobiotic, vegan and makes her own vegan cheese too.
We can’t wait to indulge in the local, seasonal & organic meals, 3 times a day

Facility & Accomodation:
The retreat center is a family run project that was born out of the desire to live in harmony with nature and with ourselves. Nestled in 20 hectares of native woodland and off the grid, we aim to provide a beautiful and inspiring stay in nature, far from the busy pace of modern life.
Motivated by our own life experiences, we host holistic, educational retreats and courses; and we promote a conscious lifestyle. We are situated in the countryside of Aljezur, Portugal. A short drive away from the breathtaking, unspoiled beaches of Southwest Algarve and the famous trails of Costa Vicentina Natural Park.
The hill top accommodation is a newly build Portuguese style country house that overlooks the green forest. And just by sitting on the deck chairs of your wooden veranda decorated with jasmin white flowers, you feel directly the positive effect of being in nature. There is no escape from the serenity and purity that is visual in nature and felt by the Algarve Sun, the chanting birds and a smell of wild herbs that is so unique to this area. October in Algarve feels like a warm Spring compared to the upper part of Europe.
The yoga studio or “Gaia Shala” is a natural, organic clay / wood construction, situated in a magical window view at native old cork trees, which makes it a very special place to practice.
The guesthouse has 4 double and 2 triple rooms, and can host up to 14 people.
All rooms have en-suite bathroom, independent entrance and glass door to veranda with beautiful views. All is build in 2019 and styled in a neutral organic way with white sheets.

Triple room € 599
We ask a non-refundable deposit of € 250,-. If needed we postpone the retreat to 2021 due to Covid-19.

Facebook CEO to appear before Congress on currency plan
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will appear before Congress this month as the tech giant is under pressure from lawmakers and regulators over its massive market power and record of privacy breaches.
Rep. Maxine Waters, the California Democrat who heads the House Financial Services Committee, announced Wednesday that Zuckerberg will testify at a hearing by the panel on Oct. 23. The focus will be on Facebook’s plan to create a digital currency and its role in housing. The company agreed in a legal settlement in March to overhaul its ad-targeting systems to prevent discrimination in housing, credit and employment ads.
Lawmakers from both parties and top regulators, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, have criticized Facebook’s plan for the new currency, expressing concern that it could be used for illicit activity such as money laundering or drug trafficking. There also is concern that the massive reserve created with money used to buy the new currency, to be called Libra, could supplant the Fed and destabilize the financial system, and that consumers could be hurt by Libra losses.
“Mark looks forward to testifying before the House Financial Services Committee and responding to lawmakers’ questions,” Facebook said in a statement Wednesday.
In July, Waters and other committee Democrats sent a letter to Facebook requesting a halt on moving forward with the currency and with the digital wallet, called Calibra, which would be used in the new currency system. House Democrats also have threatened legislation that would block big tech companies from getting into banking.
Waters has called Libra “a new Swiss-based financial system” that potentially is too big to fail and could require a taxpayer bailout.
France’s finance minister said Wednesday that the European Union should not allow Facebook to develop the currency project on “European territory” because it threatens the monetary sovereignty of member countries. “It should not be the role of a private company to try to get a sovereign currency like a sovereign state,” Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said.
Unlike digital currencies such as bitcoin or Ethereum, Facebook’s plan calls for Libra to be backed by real currencies.
David Marcus, the Facebook executive leading the project, told lawmakers over two days of congressional hearings in July that Facebook would not launch the currency project until it had received all the necessary approvals from regulators and secured safeguards to protect the privacy of users’ data. He said Facebook will not control Libra because Facebook will be only one of about 100 companies and nonprofits in an association that will manage the currency.
The plan would open low-cost online commerce to millions of people around the world who lack access to bank accounts, and would make it cheaper to send money across borders, Marcus said. He did not agree to a suspension of the plan or a pilot project, as several lawmakers urged.
Facebook, a social media giant based in Menlo Park, California, with nearly 2.5 billion users around the globe, is under heavy scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators following a series of data privacy scandals, including lapses in opening the personal data of millions of users to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
The Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission and the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee are all conducting investigations of Facebook and the other big tech companies amid accusations of abuse of their market power to crush competition.
Zuckerberg had three days of private meetings in Washington last month with Trump and several lawmakers who, like the president, are critics of the tech industry. He also met with the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to discuss ways to prevent foreign actors from disrupting next year’s elections. In a separate session, Zuckerberg told the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee that the company would cooperate with their antitrust investigation.
Zuckerberg last testified to Congress in the spring, when he was questioned about privacy, election interference and other issues.

There is no "quick fix" to the crisis-hit maternity services in Cwm Taf and sustainable results could take five years, the independent panel set up to look into the problems has said.
An independent investigation unearthed a catalogue of failings at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant and Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.
A Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist report found that dozens of serious incidents - including stillbirths and neonatal deaths - went unreported.
They also found fragmented consultant cover at the two units, inadequate support for trainees, a lack of a functioning governance system and a culture of blame among senior staff.
The Assembly's health committee will hear evidence from members of the independent panel set up in the wake of the discoveries on Wednesday. Chair Mick Giannasi and member Cath Broderick will both take part.
The panel has been tasked with reviewing cases and improving maternity services and rebuilding trust and confidence of patients.
In a letter to the committee in advance of that meeting, they admit they do not know how long their inquiry will take, but say "there is no quick fix and that change of the type which is necessary in Cwm Taf Morgannwg will not be delivered overnight".
"It is also likely to be twelve months to two years before it is possible to say with confidence that sufficient momentum has been achieved".
The panel say that that looking at other trusts or bodies which have needed an overhaul "it is not unrealistic to expect sustainable results to take three to five years to deliver".
Within the letter there's also a warning that improving maternity services could require "a wider organisational and cultural transformation process" which would take "several months" to get in place.
Looking at other bodies where such changes have been needed, including Morecambe Bay and the Isles of Anglesey County Council, they would expect that the "make safe" element of the plan has to be delivered within three to six months of the start of the process.
They also quote a period of up to two years for changes in "cultural or leadership change" to take effect.

- Health board boss admits chances to spot the problems were missed
- Wales' health minister Vaughan Gething survives no confidence vote

The letter warns: "Where those changes need to be underpinned by wider organisational transformation and longer-term investment in organisational capacity and capability, it is not unrealistic to expect sustainable results to take three to five years to deliver".
Since details of the scandal emerged, chief executive Allison Williams has gone on sick leave and an interim replacement put in place.
There were 43 serious incidents in recent years that were not properly reported, 20 of which were at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant and 23 at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.

Rochester City Council President Loretta Scott has begun to issue the first round of subpoenas for an investigation, initiated by Council, into the death of Daniel Prude.
The initial subpoenas were directed at Mayor Lovely Warren’s office, the Rochester Police Department, the city’s Law Department, and City Council itself. They were authorized unanimously by Council members during a brief meeting Friday. The members also authorized Scott and Vice President Willie Lightfoot to issue any subsequent subpoenas requested by Andrew Celli, the attorney leading the investigation.
Rochester City Council members on Tuesday voted unanimously to pay Celli’s firm up to $100,000 to conduct the investigation
During a news conference Friday, Celli said he’s effectively been charged with determining whether there was a coverup of the circumstances around Prude’s death at the hands of Rochester Police officers.
“There really are a number of ways to determine that,” Celli said during a video call with reporters on Friday. “Number one is determining a timeline of events so that we know exactly what happened and in what sequence. That’s our first mission.”
Beginning with the timeline, Celli said the investigation will then analyze what information was shared among members of city government, and what was then communicated to the public. It’s, ultimately, a search for inconsistencies of what was known at the time and what officials said.
“We have no agenda other than the truth, and a good investigation is going to take us where the evidence leads us,” Celli said. “This is not a gotcha investigation, we do not have anyone in our sights, we do not have a target, we are just trying to find out what really happened.”
Two members of Council, Malik Evans and Michael Patterson, have been appointed by Scott to serve as administrators of the investigation. They’ll have no authority over what subpoenas are issued, questions asked, or in the forming of the report.
Last week, Warren released a 325 page report compiled by Deputy Mayor James Smith that contained emails, police reports, and other documents relating to Prude’s death. She cited the report as her basis for firing Police Chief La’Ron Singletary and suspending two key department heads without pay.
“The Deputy Mayor’s report, to its credit, describes itself as a cursory review, essentially a pass looking at documents, and I think that’s a starting point,” Celli said. “We’re going to start from zero, we’re not going to rely on anything that anyone else did. We’re going to go to the primary documents.”
Celli, a Rochester native now based in Manhattan, is not new to working with city government. His firm, Emery Celli Brinckerhoff Abady Ward & Maazel LLP, has represented City Council as it defends the creation of the Police Accountability Board.
Celli emphasized that his team will function autonomously from all levels of government. Also contributing to the investigation are Linda Kingsley, who served as the city’s counsel from 1994 to 2005, and Scout Katovich, an attorney with Celli’s firm who formerly worked with the New York Civil Liberties Union.
“To the great credit of this Council, they not only acknowledged, but insisted that their processes be questioned, interrogated, and investigated,” Celli said. “No one is off limits, their injunction to us what to get to the bottom of it.”
Celli said all steps of the investigation will be made public, including the final report, which he hopes to complete by the end of the year. He committed to making the first subpoenas public as they are issued through Monday.

Hungary to increase spending on research, development and innovation
The Hungarian government plans to increase spending on research, development and innovation to 1.8 percent of GDP by 2020
The Hungarian government plans to increase spending on research, development and innovation to 1.8 percent of GDP by 2020, it has been revealed.
László Palkovics, the minister in charge of Innovation and Technology, said the European Union’s target is 3 percent of GDP by 2020.
The minister revealed that R+D spending by corporations in 2016 accounted for two-thirds of Hungary’s total, adding that their role is expanding.
He said innovation at home is held back by the fact that Hungarian universities currently concentrate on basic research rather than on applied or experimental research.
Hungarian industry is capable of producing high value-added and, among EU members, Hungarian exports have the highest proportion of high-tech. This should form the basis for future developments, Palkovics said.
The minister added that Hungarian firms should seek international partners in order to perform successfully in the field of research and innovation. This is also important because, after 2021, most EU financing will be accessible through cooperative efforts, he said. | <urn:uuid:4ca3920e-9505-488e-b4bf-6b82a8396a1b> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://abouthungary.hu/news-in-brief/hungary-to-increase-spending-on-research-development-and-innovation/ | 2020-10-24T20:40:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.959823 | 248 |

But the thing that I could do all day long...
...is play at this train table. "Choo Choos" are a new favorite thing. I can play for a little while by myself but if you come within a 5 ft radius of me I am going to grab you by the hand and pull you over to come and play with me. I don't really like being alone.
Want to know about some things I do like? This month I like firetrucks, dinos (still), trains (see above) and ducks. Suddenly I am looking for ducks everywhere.. "Quack quack? Quack quack?" Thankfully, we can walk down the road to the zoo and see ducks anytime we want, along with some other fun animals...
I called this one a "nino" (dino) and no one corrected me. I'm pretty obsessed with any type of animal and I'm not scared of anything. This makes Mama really nervous. But I'm a big boy now!
Every day I'm doing more and more big boy things. Right now I have a LOT of opinions. When Mom tells me it's time to get dressed I tell her what I want to wear (Dino, Tractor, Elmo, etc.) When Dad tells me it's time to read a story I tell my him which book I want to read (Quack, Quack this month). If something does not go my way I will tell the perpetrator "no" very calmly at first (giving them the benefit of the doubt...surely they didn't mean to cross me), but if things don't change... it gets ugly.
What else are you gonna do when the world revolves around you?
Another big boy thing I'm doing is saying some sentences! Last month I started to say "Dat Mama" (that's mama....or dino, or elmo, or anything I love). But this month I started to say "Bye Dada" or "Bye Mama" and it is SO sweet (that's what Mama says anyway).
Mostly I am like my Dad but I have started to pick up some characteristics of Mom lately....
Mom is kind of crazy about having all the doors and cabinets shut, so I've started to walk around the house now and close all of the doors for her. I'm a big help like that. I've also started to throw things away (a boy after Mom's own heart!!). Mom and Dad have caught me more than once taking trash to the trashcan and tossing it. They have also found legos in my diaper can in my room. I was kind of done with them.
It's been a good month. Thanks for reading. I'll catch ya next month when I will be 1 1/2!!

This essay is part of the Afrotropes series, which continues with the essay
“‘a salting of sorts’: Salt, Sea, and Affective Form in the Work of Deborah Jack” by C. C. McKee.
From Art Journal 76, nos. 3-4 (Fall-Winter 2017)
The term afrotropes is a neologism referring to those recurrent visual forms that have emerged within and become central to the formation of African diasporic culture and identity, whether the slave ship icon produced in 1788 by the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade in Britain, the nineteenth-century lithograph of an enslaved muzzled woman that became the locus for the cult of Anastácia in Brazil in the 1970s, or the “I AM A MAN” signs famously held up by striking Memphis sanitation workers in 1968.1 As their rich afterlives make clear, afrotropes resonate widely long after their initial appearance. For instance, the “I AM A MAN” sign has served as the basis for a 1988 painting by Glenn Ligon, a sandwich board worn by Sharon Hayes during a 2005 street performance, and a poster wielded by protesters in Benghazi during the Arab Spring in 2011. As this example suggests, afrotropes are often translated across various cultural domains as well as transformed over time and space, accruing particular density at certain moments and seeming to volatilize out of sight at others. Their circulation thus illuminates both how black subjects have imagined themselves and reconfigured the visual technologies of modern cultural formation and image transmission more broadly.
In theorizing the term, we have found inspiration in the linguistic theorist Mikhail Bakhtin’s conceptualization of the chronotope, which “provides the ground for the showing-forth, the representability of events.”2 The chronotope—“literally, ‘time space’”—underlines “the intrinsic interconnectedness of temporal and spatial relationships that are artistically expressed.” For Bakhtin, in the chronotope—and for us, in the afrotrope—“Time, as it were, thickens, takes on flesh, becomes artistically visible; likewise, space becomes charged and responsive to the movements of time, plot, and history.”3 In paying heed to Bakhtin, we also respond to Paul Gilroy’s later call for the study of “new chronotopes” that examine “key cultural and political artefacts in the transcultural formation of the Black Atlantic.”4 Our term is also meant to resonate with Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s pioneering work on troping or figurative turns in black cultural expression and with William Jeremiah Moses’s work on the formation of black intellectual histories in Afrotopia, sources that we aim to mobilize in studying visual modes of performative utterance.5
Returning to, taking up, and crosswiring these terms, we are particularly interested in how afrotropes materially transform as they circulate, appear, disappear, or remain latent in response to the differing social, political, and institutional conditions that inform the experiences of black peoples as well as changing historical perceptions of blackness. Afrotropes do not simply recur over time, but materialize and are about time—its passage and return, its negotiation or reconfiguration by African diasporic subjects. Indeed, these forms often appear communally authored, claimed, or selected, circulating in variously traceable networks and routes. Afrotropes have emerged or waited, quickened or slowed their pace of dissemination, often in response to circumstances that prevent them from taking shape or hinder their circulation. As such, they give form to that which has remained at times unspoken and unseen, enabling a fresh consideration of what is repressed or absented within the visual archive. Afrotropes, in other words, offer a vital heuristic through which to understand not only how visual motifs take on flesh over time, but also to reckon with that which remains unknown or cast out of the visual field. At the same time, afrotropes can function publicly and spectacularly, offering apotropaic means for averting, refracting, or turning against despotic visual regimes. In this way, afrotropes make palpable, as we have previously put it, how modern “black subjects have appropriated widely available representational means only to undo their formal contours, to break apart their significatory logic, or to reduce them to their very substance.”6
While afrotropes may assume any number of guises, the photographic medium has been a central mode of their construction, transformation, and contestation, perhaps because of the intertwined ontologies of blackness and the photographic, which both abet a kind of representational fixing and surface reading. By homing in on the various forms assumed by specific afrotropes, we hope to contribute to thinking on the ways in which modes of cultural transmission come to structure representational possibilities. In this ambition, our conceptualization of the afrotrope resonates with and builds on both classic and recent art historical scholarship—from George Kubler’s The Shape of Time to Christopher Wood and Alexander Nagel’s Anachronic Renaissance—that is concerned with elaborating the complex relationships between the temporal and the material.7 Among such texts, we have found T. J. Clark’s brief essay “More Theses on Feuerbach” to offer a particularly useful framework for thinking further about the afrotrope and its manifestation. “Form,” Clark argues, “is a way of capturing repetitiveness and making it human, making it ours—knowable and dependable”; it is “redundancy made safe,” “endlessness without malignancy,” a contingent vehicle in the search for truth.8
In their turn, these lines productively resonate with and depart from James Snead’s characterization of repetition in black culture: he emphasizes how change, often produced through accident, occasions a perpetual cutting back to the start within African diasporic cultures, at once engendering coverage and rupture.9 Hortense Spillers similarly investigates “‘transfers’ from one generation to another,” pondering whether certain markings of the flesh find their “various symbolic substitutions in an efficacy of meanings that repeat the initiating moments.”10 These and other touchstones of African diasporic studies offer productive models for extending and complicating art historical literatures on form: darkened and deformed through the lens of black history, an afrotropic analytic offers new insights into theories of the object, iconicity, the self, transmission, authorship, appropriation, and chronological narration.11
In 2016 we began collaborating with Art Journal on a series of essays that offer more granular considerations of specific afrotropes, in particular, their meanings, histories, and modalities of transmission. These articles highlight the mercurial flow of the afrotrope across the globe, whether they focus on things (such as chains or a wicker throne), personas (Bob Marley or Steve Biko), representations (like the “I AM A MAN” sign or a map of Africa), specific elements (sugar or salt), or particular visual effects (surface or shine). Rhyming with the distinct temporal and spatial modes of appearance and disappearance of the afrotrope, the articles will appear across time, at different intervals, rather than together as a special issue. Indeed, the very first essay in the series, by Emma Chubb, appeared last year; like the subsequent essays in the journal, including this issue’s contribution by Allison Young, Chubb’s text is marked with the word “afrotropes” colorfully enunciated against a black rectangular tab.12
In the coming years, we will continue to engage with numerous scholars working on and across distinct geographical and artistic areas of expertise. Their essays will expand and critically engage the afrotrope while laying bare how methodologies for investigating the concept are necessarily collaborative, reflecting the “collective intelligence”—to borrow a phrase from Cedric Robinson—that is central to making African diasporic histories and bringing them to light.13
Like the afrotrope itself, this text emerged over the course of ten years of collaborative writing, teaching, and presenting. Accordingly, this introduction draws on many of those sources: the description from our 2011 graduate seminar on the topic, our introductions to panels at the College Art Association and Caribbean Studies Association conferences (2016), the introduction to our special issue of Representations on New World slavery (2011), and a forthcoming interview in October. We are grateful to our audiences and interlocutors on each of these occasions, particularly our students. A special note of thanks goes to Art Journal editor Rebecca M. Brown for bringing this work into print.

Status of Face to Face Master Gardener Activities
It has been 136 days since OSU effectively shut down all face-to-face activities, in response to Governor Kate Brown’s ‘Stay Home, Save Lives’ executive order. As I take stock of Oregon’s Master Gardener Program, today, I can see that we are gradually and cautiously returning to limited face-to-face activities. Please remember, that all face-to-face programming and non-essential travel during the Modified Operations phase must be approved by your regional director, via the Extension Modified Travel and Programming Request form. Please make sure to cc me on your requests, so that I can continue to keep track of the evolving landscape of the statewide Master Gardener Program.
To date, here are the face-to-face Master Gardener activities that have been approved for county Extension offices in the Modified Operations phase are listed below. Please note that these activities represent low-density, outdoor activities, with the exception of low density Plant Clinics in select Extension offices.
- A trial run of a virtual plant sale has been approved, for potential scaling up of a fall, public, virtual plant sale. Master Gardeners are hosting a ‘closed’ sale, open only to other Master Gardeners, to try and identify and work out potential kinks in protocol that may be issues for a larger, public sale.
- There are two Citizen Science projects that have been approved. In one project, select Master Gardeners will travel to help our state partners monitor invasive pests. In the second project, Master Gardeners will travel to an OSU research farm to help evaluate plant that are part of butterfly bush research project.
- One hybrid training opportunity has been approved. Master Gardeners will participate in self-guided plant identification activities, and will ‘meet’ via Zoom for a follow up session.
- Master Gardeners are working in Extension office plant clinics in two counties. Plant clinics at markets, fairs, retail stores, and other high density public venues are still off-limits, at this point.
- Master Gardeners are working in demonstration and community gardens across the state. Unlike the Restricted Operations phase, when only activities that were focused on critical services for food security and/or facilities maintenance, that approvals have been expanded for counties in the Modified Operations phase to include maintenance of compost piles and worm bins.
Creating Opportunities for Social Interactions and Celebrations
On yesterday’s weekly Zoom call, we discussed how we might thank and celebrate our Master Gardener volunteers, while also adhering to public health and safety guidelines. Here is what we came up with:
- Governor’s Proclamation of Master Gardener Week in Oregon, November 2-6 2020
- Celebratory / Thank You Video featuring OSU administrators, faculty, staff. We’ll be asking high level administrators (Anita and Alan) to deliver messages of thanks. We will cut in video of MG faculty and staff, holding up signs with different thank you messages, and points of celebration/resilience. Will ask LeAnn to help storyboard. Am seeking video production assistance from OSU Faculty Multimedia Services.
- Annual State of the MG Program Address (to be delivered by Gail, as a webinar)
- A three-film Gardening Film Festival. Gardeners can live stream films at home. We will arrange for Q&A with directors, as a Zoom webinar or meeting. Potential Films: The Love Bugs (Entomology Focus), Land Grab or Plant this Movie (Urban Ag Focus), and a third movie that should have a plant focus.
- The week concludes on November 6, with the final Board Meeting of the Oregon Master Gardener Association.
Upcoming MG Coordinators Zoom Meeting Topics
- August 13th: 2021 MG Training Plan, including plan for 2020 trainees who could not complete training.
- August 20th: Developing MG Program Priorities & Values (including workshopping DEI training scenario that we did not get to on July 30th)
August 27th: Open to Your Suggestions, but could be focused on planning and progress for the 2020 Oregon Master Gardener week celebration. | <urn:uuid:931d1549-cf58-4919-9dea-5042bbc64768> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/mgcoordinators/tag/master-gardener-training/ | 2020-10-24T20:37:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.932301 | 867 |
Who needs a machete when you have a big thumb? Yeah – I’m looking at you Jason Voorhees. Put the machete down and try using your thumbs like a real man. Michael Myers is a real man, and has crazy thumb skills to further prove that realness.
Due to a long weekend, welcome to Monday Bloody Monday instead of Sunday Bloody Sunday! And since Halloween is only a few weeks away, it seems right to spotlight something from the Halloween franchise. Being that I have thumbs on my mind for some reason, it’s only natural to witness Michael Myers give new definition to the term ‘hands-on’ at the beginning of Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers. Try thinking about what it would feel like to literally have that big thumb pushing into your forehead when you watch the clip. And then go get some Advil afterwards.
Pffft. Bullets are for suckers. As least that’s what Michael Myers thought when he was shoving a shotgun into a helpless Kelly during 1988’s, Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers. And in keeping with the Halloween theme this month on Sunday Bloody Sunday, that’s where we’re going this week.
Michael Myers is a bit of a jokester. True story! See, in the scene he “pretends” to be a deputy while he sits in a rocking chair as Kelly unknowingly brings him a tasty hot beverage. You can click the link below to see what happens next, but as you probably already know, she gets a gut full of shotgun barrel!
I dig this death scene because it’s a little different as far as Michael Myers killings go. He pretty much went bat shit crazy in this sequel that included everything from electrocutions, head smashings, and my personal favorite: a big thumb to the forehead. I have a soft spot for Kelly’s death though, but not as soft as the spot where Michael thrust that shotgun into on her body. Ba-da-dum! Sorry, these shotgun death scene jokes aren’t as easy to come by as you’d think…… | <urn:uuid:da12faef-7d22-49c8-8878-daa62927dc10> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://dirtyhorror.com/tag/best-michael-myers-kills/ | 2020-10-24T20:19:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.948505 | 449 |
Golden Hour and Ganja at the Walt Disney Concert Hall
One of the many locations on my content list includes the Walt Disney Concert Hall. For years I’ve seen shots of the famous Frank Gehry architecture and admired the building’s curves. When I coordinated my recent Los Angeles shoot with Chern, we put this spot on our must-see for golden hour.
The walls work like a giant photo reflector, which is why this place is perfect for a golden hour sesh. Walkways, stairs and solid walls bounce light into the smallest shadows. At one point I felt lucky to be wearing sunglasses as I would literally be blinded by the light.
I whipped out a Raven Grass pre-roll. Sure they’re a Washington brand, but these CBD blends are my favorite for all day shoots. Besides, eight hours of shooting can yield some super stoney eyes by the end of the day.
What’s it Cost to Build a Walt Disney Concert Hall?
The Walt Disney Concert Hall project initially began in 1987, when Lillian Disney, Walt’s widow, donated $50 million. Frank Gehry completed the design in 1991 and construction for the underground parking began the following year. The garage cost $110 million and paid for by Los Angeles County (aka the taxpayers).
No surprise the project went massively over budget and behind schedule. Construction stalled between 1994 and 1996 due to funding. As a result, plans changed and the initial stone exterior was replaced with a cheaper stainless steel. Construction resumed in 1999, and when completed in 2003 the total project was estimated at $274 million.
What I wore
I still can’t believe how epic this look turned out. Beanie is from Urban Outfitters, top is Joah Brown, pants are Pink Dolphin, boots are Gucci and sunnies are a find from the Venice Boardwalk. I packed a few different options for here, but once we purchased these orange shades that morning, I got an outfit vision.
When I posted a first look from this shoot a couple people went out of their way to comment how much they didn’t like my outfit. Guess what? I don’t care. Genuinely, I do not care if you do not like my outfits. I wear what makes me happy. I express myself through fashion. I do this for myself, not for the followers.
Checked This Location off the List
Am I the only one who’s got a list of spots saved to shoot? No? I’m so glad I got to experience this Insta-famous LA location during my time in town. We couldn’t have asked for better weather.
Want to see this spectacular sight for yourself? Plan to arrive about 90 minutes prior to sunset for optimum light. The Walt Disney Concert Hall can be found at 111 South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles and don’t worry, there’s a multi-million dollar structure for you to park in. | <urn:uuid:e491ccb1-7570-4656-8105-bdf600b03419> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://imcannabess.com/walt-disney-concert-hall/ | 2020-10-24T20:25:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.940173 | 617 |
Although metastasis is the leading cause of death among people with cancer, for the most part, researchers are stumped about which molecular signals allow malignant cells to leave primary tumors and start new ones. Two studies published in Nature this month highlight roles in metastasis for an unexpected group of molecules—lipids.
Donor stem cell–derived retinal epithelial cells whose immune proteins correspond to those of a recipient are tolerated following transplant into monkeys’ eyes, according to a report published today (September 15) in Stem Cell Reports. In an accompanying paper, the team also reports that such immune-matched retinal cells derived from humans prevent immune responses in cultured human lymphocytes.
After scientists infected a pregnant pigtail macaque with Zika virus, the primate’s fetus developed brain lesions similar to those observed in some human babies born to Zika-infected mothers, the team reported yesterday (September 12) in Nature Medicine.
“Our results remove any lingering doubt that the Zika virus is incredibly dangerous to the developing fetus and provides details as to how the brain injury develops,” study coauthor Kristina Adams Waldorf of the University of Washington School of Medicine said in a statement.
The benefits of the cholesterol-reducing drug statins are underestimated and the harms exaggerated, a major review suggests.
Published in the Lancet and backed by a number of major health organisations, it says statins lower heart attack and stroke risk.
The review also suggests side effects such as muscle pain do occur, although in relatively few people.
But critics say healthy people are unnecessarily taking medication.
Statins reduce the build-up of fatty plaques that lead to blockages in blood vessels. According to the report authors:
About six million people are currently taking statins in the UK
Of those, two million are on them because they have already had a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular event
The remaining four million take statins because of risk factors such as age, blood pressure or diabetes
Up to two million more should possibly take statins
The Lancet review, led by Prof Rory Collins from the Clinical Trial Service Unit at the University of Oxford, looked at the available evidence for the effects of taking an average 40mg daily dose of statins in 10,000 patients over five years.
It suggested cholesterol levels would be lowered enough to prevent 1,000 “major cardiovascular events” such as heart attacks, strokes and coronary artery bypasses in people who had existing vascular disease – and 500 in people who were at risk due to age or other illnesses such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
IMM-101 drug has extended lives of people with metastatic pancreatic cancer and appears to have no side-effects
A new drug that “wakes up” the immune system to attack cancer has extended the lives of people with metastatic pancreatic cancer and has no side-effects, raising hopes for a new and powerful tool against the most intractable form of the disease.
The drug, IMM-101, is considered groundbreaking because pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body usually kills within a few months.
The patients who were given the new immunotherapy drug actually felt better than those who were on standard chemotherapy, said Angus Dalgleish, professor of oncology at St George’s, University of London, who led the research.
Dalgleish is excited by the potential of the immunotherapy drug, although the trial is relatively small, involving 110 people. Only 18% of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer are alive after one year and 4% after five years, so new treatments for the disease are badly needed.
Study found a gap between resources, potential need in the case of a U.S. outbreak
As summer drew near, the nation’s health officials took stock of whether they could handle a surge in demand for Zika diagnostic tests if disease-carrying mosquitoes began to proliferate.
A survey of state and local laboratories found enough capacity to perform 3,500 to 5,000 tests a week for the Zika virus. But that wouldn’t be enough to meet demand under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s worst-case scenario for a domestic Zika outbreak.
The gap was “considerable,” said Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious diseases for the Association of Public Health Laboratories, which conducted the April survey.
The finding set off a rush to expand lab capacity that continues as Zika’s foothold in the U.S. expands. In recent months, dozens of public health laboratories—which work with the government to monitor public health and screen for disease—bought equipment, stockpiled supplies and trained employees needed to start Zika testing, said state and local health officials.
Twelve California public health labs are preparing to start performing Zika tests; five others already do. The health department in Houston conducts one type of Zika test and will perform a second “as soon as we can get the equipment in the door,” said Larry Seigler, director of the city’s health labs.
The recent regulatory approval of the first hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell gene therapy (HSPC-GT) signals the start of a new era for gene therapy and highlights the potential contribution by high-throughput cell culture technologies in propelling HSPC-GT from curing rare diseases to curing more common diseases.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the “fountain” for all blood cells that circulate in our bodies throughout life. Arguably, no other cell type has more profound and far-reaching influence on our well-being than HSCs. They reside in our bone marrow and continuously produce a variety of cells with vital tasks, for example, oxygenation via red blood cells, termination of bleeding via platelets, and immunity via leukocytes, which also provide immune defense to the central nervous system.
There is, however, a flipside to the pre-eminence of HSCs. When faulty HSCs emerge, devastating outcomes can ensue, such as autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and blood cancers like leukemia. Thankfully, a solution to these life-threatening indications is well at hand because HSCs can be removed and replaced with healthy HSCs using HSC transplantation (HSCT)—a highly effective procedure pioneered by Nobelist E. Donnall Thomas over five decades ago.
Donald Henderson, who has died aged 87, was the American epidemiologist in charge of the decade-long campaign to eradiate smallpox worldwide; the most significant public health initiative of the twentieth century.
The impact of the smallpox virus on the history of human development is as disastrous as it is incontestable. By the mid-eighteenth century the disease was endemic in Europe, with outbreaks affecting up to a third of the total population. For those who became ill, the mortality rate stood at around 30%. Though the arrival of effective vaccination methods precipitated a steep decline in the number of cases throughout Europe and America, attempts to replicate the effects elsewhere had been largely piecemeal until the late 1950s, when Henderson began to develop surveillance programmes for endemic diseases as part of his work with the Communicable Disease Center (CDC), stationed in Atlanta. | <urn:uuid:d3618cb9-234d-414f-a97d-b2cc80f7ee3a> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://www.cambridgebiomed.com/tag/health/ | 2020-10-24T20:39:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.95698 | 1,509 |

Was just doing some late-night channel-surfing before going to bed, and I ran across an infomercial for the “Heatsurge Fireplace.” Apparently, “the Amish painstakingly handcraft each Heatsurge fireplace,” which uses “fireless flame technology,” allowing you to set up a portable fireplace anywhere with an electrical outlet. This short YouTube clip will give you a taste, though it’s not quite as hilarious as the full infomercial:
I don’t know what to call this other than Amish-sploitation. On the full infomercial, there are even more references to the brilliant craftsmanship of the Amish, including a testimonial from one satisfied customer who bought it because he knows “the Amish make great products.” The whole thing is hilarious on too many levels.
But here is my favorite quote from the infomercial (sadly not in the Youtube clip) – and I wrote this down word for word, it was so perfect in its brilliance:

A SHORT, SHARP global recession, driven by the coronavirus is a real risk according to the CEO of one of the world’s largest financial advisory organisations. He is urging investors "to take steps now to build and protect their wealth".
The warning from Nigel Green, the chief executive and founder of deVere Group, comes as confirmed cases rise and governments and central banks around the world are taking increasingly aggressive measures to try and combat the economic impact of the outbreak.
Among the steps being taken on Tuesday, the US Federal Reserve announced that it would slash interest rates by half a percentage point. Meanwhile, the Bank of England is drafting an action plan to deliver a “powerful and timely” response to the coronavirus outbreak, and Australia signals it may resort to Quantitative Easing.
“The outbreak is developing and evolving quickly and no-one accurately can predict what will be the economic fallout," Mr Green said.
“However, I believe that based on what we currently know, the risk of a coronavirus-driven short, sharp global recession this year is significantly growing.
“The epidemic has already dented anaemic global economic growth this year and it can be expected to slow further, then contract, as the fear of the virus takes hold.”
“The outbreak has already sent the stock market into bouts of volatility not seen since the 2008 financial crisis, severely disrupted global supply chains, shuttered factories, grounded flights, closed attractions and cancelled major events. Entire powerhouse cities in Asia and Europe are nearly shut down.
"Multinational companies have warned that coronavirus will severely hit profits. Workers are being evacuated and forced to work from home and to avoid travelling," Mr Green said.
“We can see both supply and consumer demand are already being impacted in key sectors, such as travel and tourism, hospitality, manufacturing and retail, and it is going to extend to others.
“This scenario is then likely to feed on itself: a lack of consumer confidence and spending, lack of business investment, more job cuts, which means even less spending and demand, which leads to further job cuts.
“Unfortunately, companies already on the edge are likely to fold as we have seen this week.
“Against this backdrop, we should prepare for a short-term but severe global recession," Mr Green said.
“However, the world economy is likely to bounce back strongly. We could even see revived global growth as economies rebuild and adapt; and especially so if central banks and governments step in to actively kick-start growth.
“The short-term economic impact of coronavirus is likely to affect capital markets, which in turn affects investor returns.
“Coronavirus has shifted the landscape. Investors are urged to review their portfolios to ensure that they are still on track to create, build and generate wealth.”
The deVere Group is one of the world’s largest independent advisors of specialist global financial solutions to international, local mass affluent, and its high-net-worth clients. It has a network of more than 70 offices across the world, over 80,000 clients and $12 billion under advisement. | <urn:uuid:fc1d503c-04b9-4dd9-b209-37a1ee3c7604> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://businessacumen.biz/news-overview/4699-risk-of-coronavirus-driven-short-recession-investors-urged-to-take-action-by-devere-group | 2020-10-24T19:45:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.965503 | 662 |

THE BENEFITS OF ACTING
Do you want more joy in your life? Try acting!
“Life is but an act” – and when you create a conscious play within it, it is even more fun!
Shortly before Christmas, Finn and I were invited to participate in a wonderful play: “To be or not to be … human?” written by Romana Ercegović and Kim Seppälä. We immediately said “YES!” The theater group has the beautiful name, The Royal Shaumbra Theater.
The actors come from different countries, Finland: Iiro Riihimäki, Kim – now living on Malta. Germany: Isabel Gonzalez and Jascha Beck. Slovenia: Romana, and Finn and I from Denmark.
An international group – at least for Europe. So, the rehearsals took place via Skype until we around the Easter time met in person at our place in Denmark.
And what a time we had!
Being with Shaumbra that you resonate with is such a joy, and when you to that add the whole process of creating together, and the creation being a comedy – well, the experience is almost beyond words!
Finn and I have been acting in our teaching, both with children and with adults, and it certainly brings a lot of joy, understanding and awareness. Not to mention the joy of teaching something that we both feel has depth and value to it.
And still, acting in a play like this is different. When you are teaching you always have to have some of your attention on the children /attendees in your workshop. In a play, you can more fully dive into your role and the interaction with the other actors. That offers you a deeper feeling of your own role, and certainly also of your co-actors’ roles. You can see and feel how they fit together. One role would not exist, if you didn’t have somebody playing along with it. Just like in “real” life.
It is also a possibility of integrating the roles that are played. Your own as well as those played by others. The feeling of compassion for each role – seeing that you also know this aspect, and that you may invite it back home.
Being in this creative flow of energy is an amazing experience. We had a script of course, but as we worked with it, it kept changing. New ideas were added, scenes changed – and the wonderful part of it was, it happened in the now from the energy of all the participants – all having great ideas about how to enhance the play. Even the fact that we would have to pay to the organization of musicians, if we wanted to use music written by other musicians, became a push to create our own music! – Finn actually did it.
We have a few more days of rehearsal in Munich before the premiere June 3rd at 20.00, so who knows how many other changes that might happen…
So, if you are in Munich at that time, don’t miss the opportunity to come and watch us!
Tickets will be sold in the breaks during the Shoud on Saturday the 3rd.
We wish you all a wonderful month of May! | <urn:uuid:0667ed83-74c5-4ab5-a0ca-2c8d6a1bfef5> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://consciousnesstheater.com/may-newsletter/ | 2020-10-24T20:11:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.973712 | 781 |
A unique project to produce Neera and Palmgur has been rolled out by the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) in Palghar district of Maharashtra. The KVIC launched project aims to promoting Neera as a substitute to soft drinks along with generating self-employment opportunities for Adivasis as well as traditional trappers. Indian state Maharashtra is home to more than 50 lakh palm trees.
As a part of project, KVIC distributed tool kits to local artisans for extraction of Neera and making palmgur. The tool kit comprised of canteen burners, perforated moulds, food grade stainless steel Kadhai, along with other equipment namely knives, rope and axes.
Neera is a nutrient-rich health drink consumed in many Indian states, and is extracted from the palm trees before sunrise.
Important takeaways for all competitive exams:

Adolescents’ challenges could be effectively addressed by treating their parents. Prior evaluations of CONNECT, an attachment-based program intervention for parents of adolescents at risk, indicated that improving parenting skills and the quality of parent-adolescent relationship may result in decrease of adolescents’ behavioural problems.
The present study is part of a longitudinal research involving three Italian centres (Pavia, Milan, Pisa) aimed at investigating whether helping parents reduce their reliance on coercive or unproductive parenting strategies and understand changes occurring during adolescence from an attachment-based perspective would reduce their adolescents’ externalizing and internalizing symptoms. One-hundred and eighteen parents of adolescents (Mage = 15.26 years, SD = 1.49; 64% boys), randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 66) or to the wait-list control group (n = 52), reported on their perceptions of their adolescents’ externalizing and internalizing symptoms (using the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire-parent version; Goodman, 1997), as well as attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety (using the Adolescent Attachment Anxiety & Avoidance Inventory; Moretti and Obsuth, 2009) prior to
treatment (t0), within a two-week period following the final treatment session (t1) and at a four months follow-up (t2). Parents attending the CONNECT program reported significant reductions in their adolescents’ externalizing symptoms, and slightly significant reductions in their adolescents’ internalizing symptoms by a reduction of anxiety and avoidance attachment strategies.
The findings add evidence to the importance of investigating mechanisms of change underlying the effectiveness of CONNECT program, providing further indications on its application in therapeutic contexts.

Dear Daddy –
Rec’d five letters Mon. but none yesterday or today. It always helps to write the daily when mail had been rec’d. I am sitting on the couch and so is David – He likes to tease me by getting close to the edge. I’ll say, “David, you will fall” – and he just looks at me and grins. I talked to Lucile and she is going to bring Jimmy Ed out after his nap and I am going to cut his hair. She went with Ed to Monticello Monday to visit a few days but came back home. There are a few typhoid cases there and quite an epidemic in Peru and surrounding country. As close as Reynolds there is eight cases and has been one death. If it gets closer I am going to talk to Dr. M. about taking shots. I think Mrs. Roberts said they there were
[page 2] taking shots, so it must be around there too – I suppose if it gets worse or closer the school will take some action.
I didn’t know how cold it is out of doors until I started out with D. The wind was so sharp I came back in. He didn’t seem to mind. He usually is glad to ride but I think the wind took his breath a time or two. At present he is throwing things on the floor. Something just hit my poor leg. I don’t know how I am going to break that habit of his. His impulses seem so spontaneous and he enjoys throwing things. I know the last isn’t any excuse for allowing him to continue. When I started to write I had a few things in mind I thought would make an interesting letter but the interference on the couch with me has broken my train
[page 3] of thoughts. I brought a bunch of books up from the basement and have been trying to read to him. He likes the pictures but reading doesn’t interest him yet. He likes to play with roller skates. I tied a heavy cord to one and he pulls it around.
There is some kind of program children’s concert at Purdue the 18th that John wants to hear, in fact a number of his class want to go so I promised to take our car and take four besides John & I. I think I’ll let them out at P. and go on into town and shop. David will soon need a new pr. of shoes & other things. He is growing so fast. The little suits he had last fall look like he is poured into them. I have a few I thought he could wear in the spring but I am afraid they won’t do. I believe I’ll try my hand at some sewing, if I can find the right materials.
[page 4] Paul Yost is back. He and Betty Barce are being married. I don’t know many of the details except he flew back to have more time with his bride. I knew she wrote to him but didn’t know it was this serious. She has been working in Laf. since the family moved back to Fowler. I haven’t heard anything about Ed recently. I don’t believe he gets much publicity from here – either paper.
Lucile has been here and gone. I cut Jimmy’s & David’s hair. They both squirmed a lot but D. was worse than J.
It seems to be getting colder today. We are wishing for a good snow but it doesn’t look very promising now. It has been so dry a good snow would be very welcome.
I must get this finished and go get a few groc. & paper. No paper delivery now so we get ours from the drug store.
Love – Mother

What is the number one, singular, “most bestest” thing about McDonald’s? That’s right, breakfast! And I’m not talking about some new fangled pancake-McMuffin concoction that all the kids are eating these days. I’m talking old school man, the originals. Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin, Sauage McMuffin with Egg, and the king of them all……the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Biscuit! So when you are done with an appointment at the US Consulate that you have waited an eternity for, the “Golden Arches” are a welcome sight. That explosion of flavor that is ready in 5 minutes or less is a perfect idea! So we stop at the corner gas station with the infamous “M” on the wall, find the cute little “mini” McDonald’s inside, step up to the counter, ask if they are still serving breakfast, and……..
…….DENIED! “Kein Frühstück*!” No breakfast whatsoever. What a rip off, man. A classic case of fraud. How can this impostor be allowed to pass itself off as a McDonald’s? Call the Polizei* and have these people arrested. I say life in prison!
In all seriousness though, what a bummer. That would have been the perfect finish to a perfect visit to Frankfurt, and all we got was a cup of scalding hot coffee. Oh yeah, the coffee was the best part of the whole deal. Well, the person that served us the coffee anyway. After she denied us our god given right to a joyful breakfast, she decided to be the possibly rudest person I have ever encountered behind a McDonald’s counter. After she mumbled her way through most of the transaction while looking completely annoyed that we were disturbing her morning, she served us 1 coffee and said “bitteschön*”. I responded by politely informing her that we had ordered 2 coffees, at which point she just looked at me like I was a complete moron. So I said it again, because in that situation “bitteschön” means “here is your order”. Your ENTIRE order. And that was obviously not our entire order. Then she mumbled “Yeah, there’s another one coming!” in the snottiest German you can imagine and turned around to wait for it. Well excuse me miss thang, I didn’t mean to ruin your morning by ordering some coffee. Why don’t you take your ass to a German language class before getting all offended! Sorry, I was ranting again. I guess good help is hard to find these days.
So what’s the moral of the story kids? A McDonald’s just isn’t a McDonald’s if it doesn’t serve breakfast. And don’t be impatient at the mini McDonald’s near the Frankfurt Consulate!
- Kein Früstuck = No breakfast
- Polizei = Police
- Bitte schön = Here you go (in this situation anyway, bitte and bitteschön are very versatile words in German that are used in a myriad of ways) | <urn:uuid:1b6218b3-f9c1-4eb5-a113-16599f7d0c24> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://germericandenglish.com/2014/01/01/dont-trust-a-mcdonalds-that-hides-in-a-gas-station/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-10-24T20:51:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.947711 | 707 |

Malneirophrenia are a trio consisting of piano, cello and electric bass that used to call itself Medectophobia (but that was probably too difficult to pronounce). They play “horror punk cabaret” that feels like silent cinema soundtracks with a transfusion of Hitchcockian tension.
Each track is a physical bipolar swirl that starts with a slow, ominous build up before cacophonous tearing noises akin to a pack of wolves with chainsaws start tearing away inside the speakers. It does occasionally veer towards hokey jauntiness, but I could definitely see these guys performing the soundtrack to a Halloween showing of ‘Nosferatu’.

Back in March, when Granger called for a recount after the Mingo debacle – which he could not deny because the entire western block had witnessed his perfidy – we wrote bluntly, “The recount is just a ploy.” We still do not see Granger letting go of power even now that the recount has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that the PPP won the elections.
We pointed out that Granger and the PNC are using a strategy called appropriately in game theory and politics, “gambling for resurrection” (GFR). Here, leaders who see defeat staring them in the face of competition or conflict, take high risk actions that would be considered “irrational” in normal circumstance because the high costs of defeat “objectively” outweigh the low probability of victory.
But in this specific instance, the Gambling for Resurrection PNC leaders, Granger and Harmon, figure that while high, the risks are not insurmountable. First of all, they had already polarized its African-Guyanese constituency with their mobilization strategy during the campaign: exploiting historical fears of being “swamped and subordinated” by “circling the wagons” against the PPP, who are presented as devils literally planning to exterminate them. They have deployed classic tactics like personalising their hatred, not only onto their Indian Guyanese ethnic rivals, but moreso onto their leader Bharat Jagdeo. The talk-show hosts have migrated from the local TV screens to the far more powerful social media platforms from where they whip up ethnic fears of their group. Granger and the PNC have the support of their core group.
Secondly, Granger and the PNC know that domestically, the PPP are in no position to challenge their illegal squatting in office. They occupy the seat of authority (the government) and have the ethnic loyalty of all the power centres of the state: the Police Force; the GDF; the Peoples Militia; the Civil Service; the Government corporations where they have appointed ex-army squaddies as Heads of Department plus even supposedly independent institutions like GECOM etc. And just as importantly, they can always call out the lumpen urban elements who have historically rioted on their behalf, such as the post-1997 ethnic riots , to intimidate the Indian-Guyanese business class, who are considered as financial backers of the PPP. It for these reasons that the PNC can confidently announce that they will not “allow” the PPP to return to office.
The only fly in the ointment in the PNC’s gamble is the position of the international community – especially the US. Back in 2011, just before the elections of that year, some PNC-friendly academics, such as Ivelaw Griffith who was later to be appointed VC of UG as a reward, had crafted a document on the “Strategic Culture of Guyana”. This posited that the PNC better satisfied that criterion, which the US was using to evaluate allies after the fall of international communism. This conclusion had been presented to the US administration, especially the US Army Southern Command, which is closely affiliated with the sponsoring Florida International University. The US, in fact did tilt towards the PNC in the 2011 and 2015 elections, when the latter captured office in coalition with the AFC.
The more even-handed approach of the US Administration in the subsequent years can only be attributed to the PNC coalition’s inept handling of the domestic situation – especially the economy and politically, with its obdurate refusal to modify its policies to practice consultative coalition politics. The US must have concluded “this is déjà vu all over again” as they remembered the disaster the PNC under Burnham had wreaked in Guyana. The PPP, on the other hand, had demonstrated they were not going to challenge US interests locally and hemispherically and they were better suited to maintain stability in a country that neighbours the strategically vital Venezuelan oil reserves.
Granger had carefully phrased his commitment on the recount on Chairperson Claudette Singh’s declaration. Going by his history, he would have already gamed the system in his favour. In this situation the PNC leadership is gambling for resurrection by taking on the Americans and the west which have consistently called for the results of the recount to be respected.
As such Granger and the PNC are almost certainly taking the country down the road to sanctions – most likely personal. This will not end well. | <urn:uuid:8ad84b36-6ddd-4764-8f24-8a1ae791145f> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://guyanatimesgy.com/granger-is-still-gambling-for-resurrection/ | 2020-10-24T21:15:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.975137 | 930 |
Honey Glow™ is a company based in the DC metro area that makes skin and personal care products based on beeswax and other natural ingredients. The company was not even a gleam in our eyes when we obtained our first honeybee hive in 2007. My husband and daughter were concerned about the decline in honeybees due to colony collapse disorder, and they wanted to work together to raise honeybees.
During our research on honeybees, we discovered the healthful benefits of honey and beeswax, and we were surprised by their many healing factors. During our first year of beekeeping, our daughter made a lip balm from natural ingredients and gave them out to her friends. She had many positive replies from her gifts and that was our inspiration!
As an avid gardener, I have had many bouts with dry, cracked skin on my hands, which was the motivation for creating our Honey Glow™ Hand Salve (a Maker’s Mate!). I have been overjoyed with how well our hand salve provides relief. I went on to make a goat’s milk body lotion that is full of vitamins and nutrients and is free of potentially harmful ingredients, such as parabens, alcohol, and petroleum.
Our family wants to share all our products with you so you can also experience the benefits of the bees and natural ingredients. We have grown our hives ten-fold now and our youngest son has gotten involved with the business also.
We look forward to spreading the word about the magic of honeybees and the importance of nature and a healthy eco-system. Part of our mission statement includes educating our community about honeybees. We work with the local PTA and Beta club as a group effort to teach the students about organic gardening and how important the honeybees are to the kid’s food supply. Honey Glow™ is a board member of our town's Green Team providing educational events to our community.
We continue to create other products based on natural ingredients that will help keep your skin healthy and beautiful. Keep tuned to our progress through our blog, "The Buzz"! You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest! | <urn:uuid:cfdd9b66-4c71-4f8f-b340-2d7661b7c857> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://honey-glow.com/pages/about-us | 2020-10-24T20:06:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.973295 | 439 |
With Joomla 4.0 beta being released a few weeks ago, we enter into a phase of stabilization. Joomla! 4.0 is feature complete, that means, no new features are going to be added to Joomla 4.0. The focus is on fixing the last bugs to get Joomla! 4.0 out as soon as possible.
But what will happen until the release and afterwards? Obviously we don’t want to stop new feature development, which is why we would like to refine our development strategy for upcoming versions. Whenever we start the work on a new minor version, we plan to define the subsequent two minor releases This results in a more reliable release cycle and a more consistent road map.
In general, our development strategy stays the same. As we have strived for in the past, we want to release a new minor version every 6 months. For example, 4.1 should then be released 6 months after 4.0 and Joomla 4.2 another 6 months after. This however results in timing issues, Realistically, a new feature would have to be ready and merged 3 months before the actual release in order to iron out all bugs and test it properly.
What does that mean? If we start the development of new features after the latest minor version has been released, we have less than 3 months left to finish everything. That is in most cases not enough to implement bigger functionality. So the plan is to have a jump start and define the base features for the next two releases while the current development version is in beta state. Concurrently we also plan to start the development process of aforementioned features.
More specifically, we’re going to develop more than one minor release at a time. In fact we have started development on Joomla! 4.1 already. That gives us a little bit more time to work on bigger features for a minor release.
We will announce the features of a version in time, as well as the responsible Release Lead, who manages the development and maintenance of a version. Following the announcement, every developer is welcome to join a prepared working group in the Joomla! Enhancement Development Team and help to implement the planned features.
While we described how we now want to explain the of features in new releases. Historically we had good experiences with a minor release which is related to one major feature and maybe a few smaller ones. Think of the GDPR features of 3.9 for example. We want to build on this experience by defining one major feature per minor release. We then also want to define approximately two additional features that generally improve Joomla.
Additionally, every minor release should also work towards the identity of Joomla!: We consider Joomla to be at the front of the list of accessible CMS and to be a runner-up in being very usable for the end-user. To improve on these qualities, we want to work on at least 5 accessibility improvements and 5 useability improvements for every minor release.
Of course, that does not mean that minor releases are limited to this defined structure. You should see the approach as the absolute baseline of the future. So if you have your own idea and functionality to implement, feel free to get in touch with us and we for sure are open to additional features from the community. We are investigating/considering a more structured way of contributing and discussing ideas. More to follow.
Joomla 4.1 (6 months after 4.0)
Main-Feature: Improved Media Manager
With Joomla! 4.0, a completely rewritten and better version of the media manager was implemented. The major feature of Joomla 4.1 will be an even more improved media manager. Right now the media manager is mainly used for uploading images, but we want to extend it to a true media managing facility. Consider image management with different sizes and metadata, handling and specifically playback of video and audio and support for documents.
Currently Joomla! Updates are not secured by signatures. Signing Update would ensure the legitimacy of the installed update. We plan to implement The Update Framework (TUF), a heavy security improvement by delivering signed updates to make sure that no contaminated version of Joomla! and its extensions is installed.
Poor mans CRON
There are some hoster that do not offer server cron jobs, so we want to implement an internal cron job system. See: A first implementation is done here which could be a base for further enhancements https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/25022.
The following accessibility features are planned:
- Allow to Hide/Unhide columns in list views per user
- Allow to turn off/on the user notes feature to reduce elements on the screen.
- Improve accessibility of media manager
- Make Toolbar accessible
- Add keyboard navigation to list and edit views
The following usability features are planned:
- Change the state of an item in the list view by AJAX call instead of reloading the page.
- When creating a new menu item, load the (in this session) last used menu type by default.
- Allow default menu items in different languages in the same menu.
- Images/Links as custom fields
- Dedicated “trash” icon/button for navigation.
Joomla 4.2 (12 months after 4.0, 6 months after 4.1)
For Joomla! 4.2 we have a rough idea about the main feature, but some minor features are to be defined [TBD]. We are seeking collaboration with marketing and we would like to ask you as the community to give us your ideas and wishes.
Implement a multi-Domain/Site functionality into Joomla! we are forming the team at the moment, if you’re interested to help please contact the Multidomain working group.
Allows to edit/change content without publishing yet and publish it (e.g. via the workflow) later.
A page to check the integrity of your Joomla! files and database structure (also for 3rd party extensions).
Features to be defined
- Accessibility features
- Usability features
Please feel free to contact production department with any ideas
What happens with existing PR?
Joomla! 4.0 is feature complete, that means, no new feature will be implemented there. All open PR will be changed to target the Joomla! 4.1 branch
Is there a chance to implement new features not listed in the roadmap above?
Yes, all community contributions are very welcome. The list above is a baseline we want to implement. So more is always possible.
When will Joomla! 4.0 be released?
The maintainer team has a clear message here.
Join the fun
We hope that this outlook into the future of Joomla has whetted your appetite and makes you as excited as we are for what is to come. However, Joomla is not a closed project. Joomla depends on the participation from all of us. So if you can help develop code, test features or find bugs, we would be glad to have you on board. And while we have been talking about future Joomla 4 releases here, this all hinges on the release of Joomla 4.0. If you want to help out, please contact the Joomla!

The Western is a genre of fiction. Westerns tell stories that are set mostly in the second half of the 19th century in the American Old West, hence the name. There are also stories about Western-type characters set in other times. These include Junior Bonner (set in the 1970s) and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (set in the 21st century).
The genre has been popular since the beginning of the movie industry. One of the very first commercial movies was the 1903 silent western, The Great Train Robbery.

Mailing Lists with NAICS Codes
Targeting Businesses by NAICS Codes
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. Searching by NAICS codes essentially allows you to find any business in North America through a six digit classification code. For instance, if you wanted to search for Bakeries, you would search for the NAICS code for Bakeries, find that it is actually two codes, 311811 and 311812, and use that information to search more in depth for bakeries in your area. NAICS codes allow for a higher level of comparability when looking for a certain type of business in your area.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the "Company", or “VR”, is pleased to announce that it has successfully Closed the recently announced Acquisition Agreement for the Reveille silver property in Nevada (see terms in previous News Release dated June 22, 2020), and plans to commence exploration on the ground immediately.
VR has been evaluating the Reveille property in the field for nearly two years. It covers an historic primary silver camp that dates back to the 1870’s, but lacks any modern exploration or drilling. The following photos and maps are from various field visits, and the integration of private exploration data into our regional database developed during the past 5 years for our epithermal gold exploration in the Big Ten caldera nearby to the northwest:
Figure 1. Scale. The Reveille is property is large at 2 x 3 km’s, covering a district of silver showings hosted in a sequence of Paleozoic limestone in the outer ring complex of the Tertiary Goblin Knobs caldera.
Figure 2. Complete CRD mineral system. This is the first time that modern exploration technologies and current mineral deposit models will be applied systematically across the Reveille Property. The CRD model (Carbonate Replacement Deposit) unifies the numerous surface showings of high-grade silver in vein stockworks, manto replacement bodies and chimney-style breccia pipes. The model also underscores a new, large scale and high value target at Reveille, namely the root of the numerous vertical breccia pipes and vein stockworks observed but virtually unexplored in the central part of the property. Evidence for the stock shown schematically in the cross-section as the root of the CRD mineral system includes: 1. mapped phyllic alteration in rhyolite tuff both on the northern and eastern margin of the property, and; 2. altered, porphyritic dykes exposed at several showings.
The dimensions of the individual showings at Reveille are large, replacement is intense and silver assays are high:
- Photo in Figure 3. Silver Ace showing. Metre-scale breccia pipes with associated quartz vein stockworks occur within completely altered limestone at the Silver Ace and Saddle showings, where quartz veins observed at surface up to 2 m wide contain coarse-grained freibergite and up to 1,100 g/t Ag in grab samples. Silver-bearing tetrahedrite is also disseminated in altered limestone country rock.
- Photo in Figure 4. Lincoln showing. A series of mineralized, chimney-style breccia pipes at Lincoln span 900 m of strike and 300 m of vertical relief in the valley. Six grab samples of brown-red silica with freibergite in semi-massive replacement of breccia range from 306 – 2,810 g/t Ag.
- Pete & Zebra showings. A breccia body at Pete has a continuous chip sample with 320 g/t Ag across 12 m. The breccia is anchored along a radial fault with 1,500 m of mapped but untested strike length potential (Figure 2), with the Zebra breccia at the other end. The fluid history at Zebra is dynamic: both the fragments and the matrix of the breccia are altered, and there are local mantos of massive, zebra-textured replacement and mineralization, with grab samples of brown silica and sulfide with up to 1,000 g/t Ag.
VR will evaluate each silver showing at Reveille on its own merit via detailed mapping and sampling in the coming weeks, but VR will also “step back” to evaluate the potential for a large-scale, sub-surface root to the CRD mineral system as a whole, something that has never been done before.
From VR’s CEO Dr. Michael Gunning “Our regional data base from our Big Ten Tertiary epithermal gold project is ready for this expansion, and we are keen to take our learning curve from that caldera to Reveille, with the goal of providing our shareholders with a pure play on silver with greenfields, blue-sky discovery potential. We believe in the stand-alone potential of the silver grades in the massive mantos and breccias at surface at Reveille, but we are perhaps even more excited to be the first group to explore for the root of the vertical breccia pipes and stockworks in the center of the property, and the central overall driver to the mineral system which produced a near-complete alteration of virtually the entire ridge & mountain of host limestone. To that end, we intend to throw every modern exploration tool in the tool box at Reveille this summer, starting immediately with high-resolution airborne magnetics, EM and hyperspectral surveys.
I would like to thank the vendor for both his patience in working with VR during the past couple of years, and more to the point, his efforts towards consolidation of a land package that captures an entire mineral system which provides VR with an opportunity for a high-grade silver discovery with scale. We continue to advance our permitting on the Amsel gold target, and our plans remain firm for a first-pass drill program later this summer. In the mean time, we look forward to providing additional updates as we advance our exploration of the high-grade silver system at Reveille during the next few months, on the ground!”

The Reveille property is located approximately 90 km’s east of Tonopah, Nevada. Access is via Highway 6, with local roads and trails in and around the property itself.
The Reveille property consists of 57 mineral claims in one contiguous block covering 1,157 acres (468 hectares) over an area of approximately 2 x 3 km’s. The property is on federal land administered by the BLM, and are outside of the BLM’s broadly defined area of sage grouse protection. There are no underlying annual lease payments on the property, nor are there any joint venture or carried interests on the property.

The concept of smart building includes the optimization of energy usage in a building. One of the possible solutions for this is to adaptively adjust appliances utilization according to activity level in the building. Thus, an intelligent activity estimation system needs to be developed. However, massive annotated dataset is necessary to train the system. Therefore, we propose a system that enables rapid data annotation to collect the massive dataset. The interface of the system is designed to encourage the annotator for a fast annotation process. With the proposed system, an image can be annotated within 4.8 seconds in average.

A bloke who had been missing for four days was found less than a hundred yards from his home after a bizarre gardening accident.
Jonathan Ceplecha was trapped when a large oak tree fell on him as he was trimming branches. He fell down down a steep ravine and remained pinned under the tree for more then 100 hours.
“In a split second … both of his legs were suddenly pinned down under an immovable log and his upper torso was now semi-twisted as he sat upright on the ground,” wrote Jonathan’s son Miles on a GoFundme page launched to help pay his medical bills.
“His legs were broken instantly and he was in enormous pain, but with no phone on him and because he lives alone, there was nobody to hear or see him,” he continued.
The trapped schoolteacher survived, he said, by eating insects and plants, and drinking his own sweat. He covered his head with his shirt at night to keep the insects off as he slept.
Jonathan, 59, lives alone and it was only after he failed to turn up for work for two days running that the alarm was raised.
Eventually the exhausted army veteran was found by his ex-wife – just 100 yards from his home.
Redwood County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Mark Farasyn told a press conference that Jonathan was alert and conscious” when he was found, adding: ”Not many people could have survived that.”
He said it was likely that Jonathan’s combat experience in Iraq had probably given him the skills he needed to survive: “It was probably something I’ve never seen in my 30 years and probably will never see again, he had the will to live, and he wasn’t ready to go,” he said.
The falling tree broke both of Jonathan’s legs. Miles wrote on GoFundMe page: “It is likely that both of his legs will be saved, but he faces a long road to full physical recovery and his feet are still in bad condition.”
He told local news site Kare 11 that his dad kept his spirits up by “meditating and inventing rhythms to follow from dawn to dusk”.
“I was with him Monday in the hospital and he was kind of getting how he was able to keep from panicking,” he explained, “which was by breaking up the days into hours and then breaking up the hours into five-minute segments so that he could have little victories throughout the day that would give him little pieces of hope.
“He just tried to keep his mind distracted, and he did this hour after hour for 100 hours.” | <urn:uuid:10d27aaf-c924-4868-80b0-2d6fd0de8fac> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://selectnews91.com/bloke-trapped-under-tree-for-four-days-survived-by-eating-plants-and-insects/ | 2020-10-24T20:29:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.995273 | 567 |

It’s been a long couple of months, with the majority of the world doing their very best at staying isolated and social-distancing, and the small percentage of mouth-breathing idiots who are still letting their children play on public play structures and throwing parties and gatherings (I’m looking at you, Karen!). For the most part, the world has been doing what they have to.
Here in Canada, penalties and fines have been issued against quarantine violators in some of the more serious circumstances, and Provincial borders remain closed at most locations. Slowly but surely, governments are beginning to reopen certain semi-essential services, such as dentists, eye doctors and such, mostly on a Provincial basis. Back in New Brunswick, my family reports restaurants reopening with limited seating and families being permitted to travel to each other’s homes. No such leniency has taken place here in Saskatchewan.
But despite the progress that’s been made, it may still be a while before we can all romp in the outdoors and mingle with members of public like we used to. In fact, many believe that this may be the beginning of a new phase of society that could become permanent, with video meetings and working from home becoming the norm.
Despite the closing of businesses, suspension of many jobs and the financial strain that many are feeling as a result of the current pandemic, the aspect that people seem to be having the greatest difficulty adapting to, is self-isolation. Today’s society in general doesn’t do well with being told they HAVE to do something (a fact I’ve learned all too well over the past ten years), which is why we continue to have people who smoke in public places, litter and use their cell phones while driving. But I digress…
The point is, faced with the difficulty of being cooped up inside their homes on a near-constant basis with spouses and children has begun to take a toll on many, with things like cabin fever and quarantine fatigue becoming very real concerns. Emotions and frustrations are rising and the especially important detail of trying to keep children occupied and entertained when they don’t have school and can’t go play at the park can be a real challenge. And trying to stay Zen throughout it all can feel like scaling a mountain with a shard of glass in your boot…
First of all, people need to understand the difference between “quarantine” and “isolation.” I’ve been hearing folks use them interchangeably, but they both have distinctively different meanings. A “quarantine” is defined as a strict isolation imposed t prevent the spread of a disease. This usually involves isolating people who are known, believed or suspected to have, carry or could spread the disease, whether symptomatic or not.
“Isolation”, whether self-imposed or not, is a bit simpler in terms that it’s the separation of a person from others. That’s it. You don’t have the disease (that you know of) but you’re keeping yourself indoors to prevent its spread. Which is great, but it doesn’t mean you can’t step outdoors and it can have detrimental effects on your health if you don’t take steps for your own mental well-being.
The internet has done what it usually does, when something serious of this nature arises and expressed its displeasure with the propagation of memes, jokes and overall lack of seriousness for the whole thing. But the reality is that some families are ACTUALLY having difficulties being isolated together for long periods of time when the norm has been to have their own separate periods away form one another.
But what’s important to remember is that despite terms such as “quarantine” being thrown around, if you are simply self-isolating and aren’t asymptomatic or trying to recover from a serious illness, there’s plenty you can do to help stem the tide of building pressure within your household. Go take a walk. Many people take this possibility for granted, but there’s nothing stopping you from heading out and taking a nice long walk. Fresh air, alone with your thoughts and some mild exercise, it can go a long way towards saving your sanity.
Even just spending time outside, even if you aren’t doing anything, will be very helpful. Fresh air can be an incredible asset. Meditation and Zen can be difficult in a contained environment, especially with small children involved since they don’t understand when mommy or daddy need some “quiet time.” This is one of the reasons I enjoy cycling. Besides the challenge of racking up as many kilometres in as short a time as possible, the fresh air and the time to be alone with my thoughts allows me to engage in a sort of moving meditation.
So be sure to get out there and find yourself something that works for you. Even if you don’t practice Zen, everyone inevitably NEEDS Zen. Finding some balance and peace during uncertain times is important to everybody, and remember that no matter what responsibilities your shoulders may bear, everybody needs/deserves some time to themselves. Even during a pandemic. ☯ | <urn:uuid:c9679918-e296-49f0-a913-79efe441b39f> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://thebloggingbuddhist.com/2020/05/18/zen-in-the-apocalypse/ | 2020-10-24T21:17:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.964977 | 1,090 |
Credited with kick-starting Volvo’s design renaissance when it appeared for your 2016 product 12 months, the 2020 XC90 stays one of essentially the most fashionable options amid luxurious SUVs. It can be run by amongst 3 distinctive four-cylinder powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid, and might be experienced in six- or seven-passenger configurations. Inside, prospective buyers will find a cabin that epitomizes Scandinavian luxurious, highlighted by high-quality materials for instance nappa leather-based, real wooden trim, and tasteful chrome accents.
A vertically oriented infotainment touchscreen supplies controls for that greater part in the XC90’s units and configurations, plus a driver-facing 12.3-inch display screen serves to be a electronic gauge cluster. Just like all Volvos, the 2020 XC90 is concentrated on basic safety approximately it’s on luxury, as well as a host of driver-assistance functions are regular throughout the board.
The XC90 gets a visual freshening for 2020 by way of a different grille and front bumper; Volvo also has restyled the XC90’s wheels. Base Momentum products now come with low-profile roof rails and built-in tailpipes whilst sporty R-Design versions swap matte silver exterior trim for gloss black. All XC90 models now arrive regular using a 12.3-inch electronic gauge cluster, R-Design and Inscription trims get entrance parking sensors as typical, and Volvo has tweaked the procedure of the two the rear cross-traffic warn aspect and included active-steering help for that Metropolis Security driver-assistance element. Inside of, Momentum types now is often purchased with Black Ash wood trim, R-Design models come with nappa leather upholstery, and T8 Inscription models activity a restyled shifter created from Orrefors crystal. Equally the Momentum and Inscription types will now offer a six-passenger structure with second-row captain’s chairs. The T8 plug-in hybrid product now will come having a larger eleven.6-kWh battery; the ultra-loaded (and ultra-pricey) Excellence trim is no longer presented.
best experienced together with the mid-range T6 engine-a 316-hp turbo- and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder-and dressed in Inscription trim. For the $6500 boost versus the mid-range R-Design, the Inscription adds a bunch of characteristics that we assume luxurious SUV buyers will have on their shorter record, which includes ventilated entrance seats, lane-keeping guide, a Harman/Kardon audio technique, and 20-inch wheels, and also a statelier exterior layout.
Engine, Transmission, and General performance
The XC90 can be experienced in a few versions, all of these riffs on the concept of Volvo’s 2.0-liter turbo 4. The base product, which we have nonetheless to check, capabilities the 250-hp turbocharged T5 engine paired with front-wheel drive. The more highly effective T6 variation provides supercharging to the turbocharging procedure to cause 316 horsepower. It’s optional from the base Momentum trim and conventional in Inscription designs; the motor only pairs with all-wheel drive. The 400-hp plug-in hybrid XC90 T8 begins with the T6 powertrain and adds two electric powered motors and also a charging port within the exterior. Our check vehicle showcased Volvo’s optional air suspension, which provides Eco, Ease and comfort, Off Road, and Dynamic drive modes coupled with separately customizable suspension settings. That suspension supplied a pleasing, insulated ride, and it dealt with most street circumstances well.
You might be forgiven if your words “three-row crossover” you should not accurately spike your notice. Getting this kind of a car is often driven by a need rather then a want. But luxury automakers have carried out an admirable occupation of making these family-haulers much more pleasing by stuffing them with premium elements, hewing their metal into eye-pleasing designs and engineering relaxing driving experiences.
Get, for instance, this 2019 Volvo XC90. A far cry from the boxy 850 wagon you keep in mind from your youth, this Volvo provides massive doses of premium-ness in all places you appear. Though it is really quick to select fault with it in the few areas, overall this XC90 ranks extremely on our gotta-have-it record.
One particular reason we like the XC90 a lot of is that it is really significantly prettier than any of its competitiveness. It really is uncomplicated for your three-row crossover to turn out as a dull box, but Volvo’s designers regulate to drape delicate sheetmetal around the XC90’s bones inside a way that draws the eye. On this tester, the graceful Denim Blue bodywork contrasts from chrome and brushed-metal accents. Bold lighting elements, with LEDs and also the well-known “Thor’s Hammer” running lights, also insert control attractiveness. It really is an understated and chic seem — rather the opposite of Volvo’s smallest crossover, the brash XC40.
The cabin exhibits just as perfectly because the exterior, and never only mainly because this Inscription product has legitimate walnut wooden trim and soft, brown Nappa leather in all places (even on the critical fob!) and drilled-metal speaker grilles with the optional Bowers & Wilkins stereo. A high seating position and minimal cowl provide excellent forward visibility, when the massive panoramic sunroof keeps things light and airy (you can, of course, occlude the sky by using a run sunshade). The control structure is certainly one of simplicity: just a handful of buttons within the steering wheel plus a several buttons below the touchscreen within the center stack.
The dashboard continues to be uncluttered in part for the reason that almost all the car’s controls and options are stuffed into the 9-inch Sensus infotainment system. That sounds good in principle until you might be fighting to show to the heated seats or crank up the air conditioning right after commencing the car; the touchscreen takes an age to boot up and it is really frustrating to tap the display with no response. The same goes for tweaking common car functions, like the stop-start program or changing active-safety options, requiring much more tapping and swiping than we’d like.
Sensus’ operation and functionality is rather divisive even amongst Roadshow staff, so we’d strongly recommend playing using the procedure on your test travel before committing to obtaining an XC90. Personally, I obtain the crisp, high-contrast graphics layout quick over the eyes and helpful for reading at a glance though driving. Moreover, I discover the arrangement of on-screen controls straightforward and simple to understand.
The display defaults to a four-tile home display that always shows navigation, audio and phone information, with all the bottom-most tile reserved to the most recently used aspect (e.g. fuel economy info, Apple CarPlay). Swipe right to show a dizzying array of buttons for adjusting all from the car’s options, in the aforementioned basic safety programs to things similar to the head-up display options. Swipe left for tiles to switch audio sources, activate apps like Spotify internet radio or pull up menus to the equalizer, trip information or other motor vehicle info. Assistance for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is typical.
Security technology is in abundance, as is the case with all modern Volvos. The Pilot Assist mode with the adaptive cruise control, by way of example, will help steer the XC90 about the highway. Other capabilities include a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, self-parking, precollision warning and brake, lane-keep help and blind-spot monitoring. 1 nice touch: Where so many cars use strident electronic beeps for these systems’ notifications, the Volvo plays pleasant musical chimes for things like parking-sensor warnings.
Like the outside, the XC90’s interior is very elegant but not overly complicated.
Driver and passenger enjoy ample space inside the Volvo XC90, in addition as plenty of space to store their sundries while in the center-console cupholders or door pockets. Likewise, the next row offers a generous amount of room for adult passengers to fit comfortably. Those seats tilt and slide forward easily to allow access towards the sixth and seventh seats, though the resultant gap is a little tight. As with a lot of rivals, the XC90’s third row is stingy on knee- and legroom. You’ll fit kids in here with no problem, but regular-sized adults will start to complain before long. At least headroom is generous and there’s a cupholder for each from the way-back chairs.
Cargo space suffers the same fate: It can be a little cramped with all three rows of seats up, but expands dramatically when the third row is folded down, and even much more so when the 2nd row is folded flat. This XC90 has a power liftgate using a kick-to-open function, but in practice, only a small percentage of kicks lead to an opening. At least you can pop the hatch in the essential fob or by just grabbing the handle.
Another checkmark about the XC90’s goes to its lovely driving dynamics — it perhaps doesn’t push quite so sweetly as an Audi Q7, but it gets pretty darn close. The satisfaction begins with this tester’s T6 powertrain, which is Volvo-speak for any 2.0-liter inline-four boosted by both a turbo and supercharger. With 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque available easily through the rev range, you’ll never want for power.
The turbocharged and supercharged engine is very strong but didn’t always deliver its top fuel economy ratings.
Volvo says you can reach 60 miles per hour in six.1 seconds, which feels believable from behind the wheel and is certainly additional than quick enough for this type of auto. Unfortunately, the engine sounds a little gruff in its operation, especially when pushed. The attendant eight-speed automatic is generally eager to downshift and performs its duties without much fuss.
The 2019 XC90 T6 has EPA mileage ratings of 19 miles per gallon town, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. I ended up averaging only 22 mpg even however I took several highway trips. The typical stop-start function is a little rough when it relights the motor; turning it off requires swiping right to the touchscreen and locating a small virtual button.
It is really worth noting that you can also opt with the XC90 with its T5 powertrain, which uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter rated for 250 horsepower. Provided with either front- or all-wheel travel, it returns about 21/29 mpg in EPA testing. A far more expensive choice is the T8 plug-in hybrid, which will allow a fully charged XC90 to push 17 miles on battery power alone.
2019 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription
The Inscription trim level benefits from high-quality details like legitimate wood and leather-based, plus drilled-metal speaker grilles.
Otherwise the driving experience is greatest described as just-right. Sure, the steering is light, but its reasonably quick ratio makes dicing up the Target parking lot simple. Nevertheless not accurately thrilling, the XC90’s handling balance is perfectly competent for these kinds of challenges as cloverleaf interchanges. While using the various protection systems providing a watchful eye, and great visibility out in the large windows, day-to-day commuting barely ruffles the XC90.
The sole letdown in terms with the driving experience is the ride quality. Prior XC90s I’ve tested have experienced air suspension, which has glided about rough roads without significantly trouble. This one particular has the normal steel-spring suspension and is more of a mixed bag. Nevertheless generally pliant and well-judged, the trip becomes brittle and jarring in excess of rough roads. The 21-inch wheels’ low-profile tires indubitably never help. Although not a deal-breaker, it really is enough to make me think I’d option my personal XC90 with smaller wheels and/or air suspension.
That said, the Volvo XC90 is the type of vehicle I’m happy to travel anytime, anywhere. It really is easy to live with and does a lot of things perfectly; what sells it truly is its all-around excellence. From layout that won’t bore you to a driving experience that won’t frustrate you, to a practical interior as well as a full complement of basic safety technology, the XC90 is the sort of crossover that’s a pleasure to live with day-in, day-out. It can be one among just a number of exciting entrants in an frequently boring segment.
The Volvo XC90 is a superb luxury sport-utility, and this second-generation model launched with the 2015 model yr, is a major competitor from the premium crossover class thanks to high-level technology and sharp styling.
Little has changed to the 2018 design 12 months, except for earning Apple CarPlay and Android Auto regular. 4 trim levels are available: Momentum, R-Design, Inscription, and Excellence. The XC90 may be fitted with any of a few turbocharged two.0-liter four-cylinder engines, which include a plug-in hybrid.
The bottom T5 motor produces 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. In T6 designs, a supercharger is extra for the turbo configuration, resulting in output of 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet.
While in the T8 plug-in hybrid, a 10.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and electric motors team together with the T6 gasoline engine, yielding 400-horsepower total technique output. Not just is the T8 probably the most fuel-efficient variation, it is the swiftest.
Each engine mates using a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. Base T5 variations come with regular front-wheel drive. All-wheel push is regular on T6 and T8 editions, but optional for that T5.
Two- and three-row seating configurations are available. Rear occupants in the T8 Excellence get individual seats separated by a long console.
As expected from a brand long acknowledged for emphasis on protection, the XC90 has an impressive listing of regular advanced basic safety attributes. Techniques include blind-spot monitoring, lively lane control, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, road sign recognition, and rear collision mitigation. A rearview camera also is typical.
Each XC90 includes Pilot Support II. This semi-autonomous method can operate the vehicle, steering lightly and braking, with no input from the driver beyond holding the steering wheel.
Crash-test scores have been superlative. The National Highway Visitors Safety Administration gave the XC90 five-star ratings total and for both frontal and side impact. It earned a four-star score (typical of tall crossovers) for rollover protection, which is a calculated figure.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Basic safety gave it Good ratings for side-impact crashes, also as the two small and moderate frontal overlap incidents. Frontal crash protection was deemed Superior, if an appropriate option is installed, but headlights were rated Marginal.
T5 Momentum ($46,900) has front-wheel drive and includes a power tailgate, four-zone automatic climate control, power entrance seats, synthetic leather-based upholstery, and 18-inch wheels. A vertically-oriented 9.0-inch touchscreen includes navigation. Five- and seven-passenger cabins are supplied.
T5 AWD Momentum ($49,100) includes all-wheel push. (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.)
T5 R-Design ($51,900) has a sportier glimpse, such as 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille, and heated entrance seats. Volvo offers five- and seven-passenger versions. T5 AWD R-Design ($54,100) substitutes all-wheel drive.
T6 AWD 7-Passenger Momentum ($54,350) will come with the supercharged/turbo engine, conventional all-wheel push, leather upholstery, and three-row seating. T6 AWD 7-Passenger R-Design ($57,950) is equipped similar to T5 R-Design, but with T6 motor. T6 AWD 7-Passenger Inscription ($59,450) provides a digital instrument cluster, wood interior surfaces, upgraded audio, Nappa leather upholstery, all-wheel drive, and active noise cancellation.
T8 eAWD Plug-In Hybrid 7-Passenger Momentum ($64,950) is equipped similar to regular Momentum, with plug-in hybrid powertrain. T8 eAWD Plug-In Hybrid 7-Passenger R-Design ($68,500) is equipped similar to regular R-Design. T8 eAWD Plug-In Hybrid 7-Passenger Inscription ($70,050) is equipped similar to T6 Inscription. T8 eAWD Plug-In Hybrid Excellence ($104,900) includes an air suspension, 21-inch wheels, top quality Bowers & Wilkins audio, heated/ventilated four-passenger seating, massaging function, a beverage cooler, crystal gearshift, head-up display, and panoramic moonroof. | <urn:uuid:f7ae34bb-1868-47f5-937f-0cf15c2a0694> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://vonworley.net/2019/12/23/buying-kw-volvo-xc90-trakai-lithuania-vonworleyreconsideration/ | 2020-10-24T20:05:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.917856 | 3,728 |

Three Bears' Takeaways from loss to Packers
|Monday, December 16, 2019 10:42 AM- -|
All good things must come to an end sometime, and for the Bears, a couple of hopeful things ended on Sunday against the Packers. Not only did Green Bay put an end to the Bears three-game winning streak 21-13, but any hopes of the playoffs for Chicago faded in the dust later when Minnesota ousted the Chargers out west 39-10.
Now sitting at 7-7, the Bears have nothing but pride to play for but could play spoiler for Minnesota in week 17 depending on what happens in their game against Green Bay in week 16 and whether the Rams can win out. That would be a nice consolation prize for a team that had postseason on their mind should they be able to spoil the postseason for a division rival. Here are some takeaways from Sunday’s gut-wrenching loss.
Sometimes, football is a game of inches, and for that, Bears that happened on a few occasions in the first half. Whether missing a wide-open Anthony Miller on the first possession of the game or having a horrible kick catch interference call lead to a Green Bay touchdown, the Bears had some chances to win, but couldn’t cash in on the opportunities they had.
That is something you cannot do against winning teams or teams already in the playoff mix if you expect to win. Much of the game, Chicago appeared very pedestrian on offense, and when they had a chance to do something, they were not able to capitalize. That included a third and five pass that went to Cordarrelle Patterson, which looked like a first down inside the five only to see he stepped out of bounds before making the catch. That led to another field goal instead of a possible touchdown as just one of the missed chances on the afternoon.
Outside of a very rough third quarter for Chicago, the Bears did a great job containing both Rodgers, and the Packers offense as Chicago managed to get the offense going in the fourth quarter. However, it was a little too late as the Bears ran out of time on their final drive having to settle for a miraculous play that fell three yards short of the endzone.
Why no field goals early on
Whatever the case may be, neither the Packers nor the Bears wanted anything to do with their kickers on Sunday as neither team wanted to attempt a field goal. Given the weather conditions, it may not have been easy, but at some point, you need to take the chance instead of going for it on fourth down all the time.
If you make the kick, it is three points for your team, and if you miss, the same result happens when you turn the ball over on downs, so what was the big deal early in the game. Eddy Pinero has been better than what the Bears had in Cody Parkey, but he still hasn’t been consistent enough to be trusted in key spots. Not to mention, he was struggling to make kicks beyond 45 yards in warmups, putting the Bears in a tight spot all game long.
At some point, you need to put trust in your kicker and give him the confidence that the coaching staff has his back. Who knows, maybe he would have surprised you by making a kick or two which could have affected how things went on the final drive of each half.
What happened on the last lateral:
With one play to go in the game, it was touchdown or bust for the Bears as their season was on the line. After settling for a 15-yard check down, the Bears began the laterals as they looked to keep the play alive. After fumbling the ball, Mitch Trubisky was able to recover and make something happen before pitching one last time.
With the ball inside the 10, Chicago had both Tarik Cohen and Allen Robinson wide open on the sidelines where they could have walked it into the endzone. Instead, a fumble inside the eight-yard line was the last gasp for the Bears as Tramon Williams recovered the ball for the Packers at the two-yard line sealing the Bears fate in 2019.
Look. How. Close. This. Was. pic.twitter.com/GHEWXlx7Hl— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) December 15, 2019
My question I have for all the Bears on the field, why did no one pounce on that ball or try to pick it up once it hit the ground. If you watch the video, once the ball landed on the turf, everyone stared at it and seemed to let it keep rolling instead of trying to pick it up and make something happen.
By NFL rules, if a player’s fumbles on a lateral, the only way Chicago could recover is if that same player recovered the ball. That had to be the reason Chicago stared at the ball, right? Because after watching the replay, the Bears did make a pitch, and it hit the Packers defender in the shin, which caused it to go forward. Is that why it was ruled a fumble?
Regardless of the rules or what Chicago was thinking, they needed to pounce on that ball and let the refs make the final decision in the end. After all, their season was on the line, and it proved to be the final play of their playoff hopes as the Packers managed to survive another late-game defensive meltdown. | <urn:uuid:df6c5b7c-55d3-4b77-8783-de208263dc32> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.chicagobearshq.com/story/football/Three-Bears-Takeaways-from-loss-to-Packers-16229 | 2020-10-24T20:18:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.978865 | 1,110 |
Defective workplace equipment is one of the most pressing dangers for many workers in the state of Pennsylvania, especially those in industries such as construction, agriculture, forestry and mining. Even when workers and employers adhere to workplace safety standards, defective equipment can cause accidents and serious injuries.
If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident in Pennsylvania that was caused by a piece of defective equipment, lawyers from Cordisco & Saile LLC can help you recover workers' compensation and explore taking other legal action.
Types of Defective Equipment at the Workplace
When heavy pieces of machinery are rendered defective, they pose serious risks for the workers who operate them. Some dangerous types of defective equipment are listed below.
- Defective ladders or scaffolding.
- Defective heavy machinery, like tractors, dump trucks, or forklifts.
- Defective conveyor belts.
- Defective construction tools.
- Defective farming tools, such as lawnmowers or balers.
The list above is by no means inclusive – any piece of equipment has the potential to be designed or manufactured with a defect.
Dangers of Defective Equipment
Defective equipment in the workplace is extremely dangerous. If a piece of equipment or machinery malfunctions while in use, workers are at high risk of sustaining serious injuries. Some of the most serious injuries that a worker may sustain when a defective piece of equipment is used include traumatic brain injuries, amputated limbs, broken bones, internal injuries, burns or lacerations, and death. Often, these injuries cause permanent disabilities or disfigurement.
Causes of Defective Equipment
Construction equipment may be defective for a number of reasons. A piece of equipment may have been designed with a defect, for example. Or the equipment may have been properly designed but manufactured with a defect as a result of poor manufacturing standards.
Other times, equipment may be rendered defective as a result of improper maintenance or repair. Regardless of the reason why the equipment malfunctioned, one thing is for sure – the injured worker deserves to be compensated for injuries.
Recovering Compensation Following a Workplace Accident Caused by Defective Equipment
In most states, including Pennsylvania, workers’ compensation law covers most workers. Workers’ compensation requires employers to carry insurance for all employees in the case that a worker sustains an injury while on the job. If you have been injured while working, workers’ compensation should cover your injuries, no matter who is responsible for the accident and injuries.
However, if your injury was caused by a piece of defective equipment, you may be able to file a third-party liability claim. Filing a third-party liability claim allows you to file a personal injury lawsuit for your accident outside of the realm of workers’ compensation law. When a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer, distributor or repair company, is responsible for your accident, you have the right to pursue damages from that third party that may be in excess of workers' comp benefits.
Damages that you may be able to recover include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages if gross negligence was present. Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations is set at two years from the date of injury, according to PA Const. Stat. Sec. 5524.

This is a term many people often come across when they are trying to set up their own website. But as common as it is, a huge number of online users are still confused about what web hosting really is.
Perhaps the simplest and most straightforward web hosting definition is this: web hosting is a paid service that enables businesses, organizations, and individuals to post a website or webpage online so it can be viewed by people from all over the world.
Web hosting companies provide space for websites on powerful special computers called “servers”. They also offer some useful and free add-ons such as email marketing and malware checking.
How online hosting works is quite simple. When online users want to check out your website, they will type your website’s address or URL on their browser. Their computer will then use the internet to connect to the hosting server so your webpages will be delivered automatically to the user's browser.
The amount of space your website needs depends on the volume and quality of its content, which includes texts, videos, and photos. So if your website has lots diverse content, you will need more memory space and a much more powerful hosting platform.
With dedicated web hosting services, you will have an entire server all to yourself. You will get direct and full access to it, so you can install any type of software you want. You will also have the ability to freely change configuration settings and tweak the operating system as well as the language interpreters.
Another major advantage of this type is that you will have sole control and command over the computing resources, and you don't have to worry about asking permission from another account holder if you want to use more of the space and other resources. This way, you can increase your website’s speed and performance without much hassle. Because of these factors, this type is the best choice for websites that require large amounts of memory space. However, these benefits are not necessarily free. They come with a considerable price., and can be quite costly as you will be the only one using the network.
Virtual Private Server or VPS sits right in the middle of dedicated and shared hosting.
With this variety, a web host provider gives your company with your own devoted server, but it will be on a virtual machine instead of a physical one. This virtual machine is grouped together with others like it in a network that shares a huge pool of resources.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that the resources are distributed in a different way. One of the main distinctions is that there are typically 10-20 accounts sharing the pooled resources. This way, the resources are divided more evenly and you will encounter less problems when managing your websites. You will also get to enjoy more bandwidth for a faster loading website.
Another benefit of VPS is that you can conveniently configure and format the network settings to fit your preferences and needs. This comes in handy when you are trying to create custom applications. Last, but certainly not the least, this affordable web hosting service is also very scalable. This means that the resources you’re using can easily be increased and decreased depending on your needs. This makes it ideal for people who are operating software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses.
Cloud web hosting
Cloud web hosting is one of the most widely used hosting platforms these days. But before we got into what it means, let’s first talk about what “the cloud” is.
In the context of website building, the term refers to a large network of servers that are grouped together and provide a huge pool of shared resources. Websites and applications can take advantage of these resources. In this context, this hosting type is just like VPS. The main difference is that the former type offers a significantly larger network of computers. This makes it much more secure and scalable.
If your website experiences a sudden surge in traffic, you will be able to enjoy more computing resources. Companies that provide this kind of WordPress business web hosting service will also help reorganize how the computers are set up in the system so you can maintain optimum performance. This makes it ideal for websites that grow and develop over a long period of time. Another benefit of this type is that it’s more cost-effective. Generally, you will only be charged for the resources you are using. This way, you can save money and avoid paying for space and applications that you are not currently taking advantage of.
Shared website hosting
This is the most common type of product offered by web hosting sites. It’s the top choice for many individuals because it’s easy to manage and is cost-effective. As the name implies, shared hosting means that you’ll be using the network together with other people or account holders. Each account may have multiple websites and all of the files they use, including text and media content, all kept in the same drive and processed by the same computer CPU. They are also delivered to browsers by the same server.
This is ideal for development and test websites. Since it’s very budget-friendly, this can also be the best option for personal websites or blogs. Moreover, small theme websites such as those used for engagement or wedding announcements would also benefit from this type because they don’t require a lot of features or pixel space.
Ideally, websites should be available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This requires computers to operate non-stop and consume a significant amount of energy, which usually comes from carbon-emitting generators and non-renewable sources. To help reduce our company’s environmental impact and save energy, Crazy Domains is using eco web hosting.
Crazy Domains supports business practices that not only help the economy, but also that protect the environment. We operate only equipment that uses renewable energy sources, and are committed to reducing our energy consumption without compromising the quality of the small business web hosting package that we provide to our clients.
We also have a safe and eco-friendly equipment disposal plan to ensure that old computers and other necessary hardware are disposed in a way that does not negatively affect the environment.
Know what your website needs are
Determine exactly what it is you need. How much memory space does your website need? Will you be using a lot of images, videos, and text content? How fast do you want your webpages to load? Are you planning to grow your website in the near future? Do you want to manage the website yourself or do you want someone else to do it for you? Do you want to focus on economy and go for something more affordable or are you willing to spend more money?
To choose the best web hosting product for your website, you must to ask yourself these questions. It would help to take time to sit down and make a list of your needs and goals. Determine which of the items on your list should be prioritised and keep them in mind when you are selecting packages.
Also, make sure you do your research properly. Look at reviews and read up on your preferred variety. If possible call the provider you want and ask some questions from their customer service representatives. This way, you will know exactly what you are getting into before you actually spend your money.
Figure out your website budget
Another important factor to keep in mind is your budget. Determine how much money you are willing to spend on this aspect of your small business. Keep in mind that rates for hosting products can vary depending on the type you choose.
Additional features such as more pixel space, speed, and increased security will also affect the price. But the good thing is that the best web hosting providers in the world offer packages for a wide range of website budgets. And this is exactly what we do here at Crazy Domains.
Our organization is committed to being a provider of top-quality products at affordable prices.

Useful add-ons like email marketing and SEO traffic booster for Google and Yahoo also come free with our web hosting packages.

Determine the level of management
After you’ve identified your goals and set your budget, the next thing you need to do is find out the level of management each hosting type offers. Determine how much time you want to spend on managing the website.
If you feel this will take too much of your time and energy, you can always get your host to do it for you. Here at Crazy Domains, we offer management assistance with our WordPress web hosting packages.

It’s important to find out what these add-on or freebies are as they will help make your investment much more worthwhile.
Make sure you choose the package that offers the add-ons or freebies will fit your goals.

Celebrating Dramaturgy in the UK: The 2019 Kenneth Tynan Award
Founded in 2001, the Dramaturgs’ Network is the only organization in the United Kingdom solely dedicated to supporting dramaturgs and promoting the practice and theory of dramaturgy. Among their chief activities is the administration of the Kenneth Tynan Award, which was established in 2011 to mark the Network’s tenth anniversary. The biannual award exists to recognize and honor dramaturgs who have made an outstanding contribution to dramaturgy in the UK.
Such contributions may include discovering new talent or noteworthy writing, supporting a director or a company on a production, matching the right play with the right translator, curating a notable festival, or, more broadly, helping raise the standard of theatre and/or dance in the UK. The previous winners of the award include Hanna Slättne, Ruth Little, and Lloyd Trott. The candidates for the award are nominated by the public, with the winner chosen by the Kenneth Tynan Award Panel.
Kenneth Tynan (1927 – 1980), after whom the award has been named, is widely accepted as the first dramaturg in the UK. Tynan was a leading theatre critic of his time, but left The Observer to work as Literary Manager at Laurence Olivier’s newly established National Theatre, where he held this post from 1963 to 1974. With his exemplary pen and formidable knowledge of world theatre, Tynan proved integral to the success of this first British theatre to be funded publically. He thus introduced the practice of dramaturgy to the UK and left an indelible mark on British theatrical culture. In evoking Tynan’s name, the award aspires to identify and showcase achievements in dramaturgy that build on his foundational legacy in the field.
Headed by Duška Radosavljević, the 2019 Award Panel included David Harris, Miranda Laurence, Richard Shannon, Sarah Sigal, and Katalin Trencsényi. This year’s award, which entailed a plaque and a check, was sponsored by Oberon Books and supported by the Soho Theatre, where the award ceremony took place on November 17 as part of a daylong program of events. The participants of the program included dramaturgs, theatre-makers, and researchers, who were there not only to find out and celebrate the award’s winner—later revealed to be Suzanne Bell of the Royal Exchange Theatre—but also to attend two panels on dramaturgy, featuring a diverse group of practitioners.
The first panel of the day, titled “International Dramaturgy,” considered models of dramaturgy in various cultural and geographical contexts, and attempted to situate them in relation to the work done in the UK. Chaired by Aneta Mancewicz (Lecturer in Drama & Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London), the panel brought together three dramaturgs with distinctly international experiences: Fiona Graham (Goldsmiths College), Jonathan Meth (The Fence), and Caroline Snape (Theatre by the Lake). For over thirty years, Graham’s wide-ranging dramaturgical practice has nourished close ties with New Zealand. Meth is the curator and founder of The Fence, which is an international network for playwrights and cultural operators. And Snape is a UK-based freelance dramaturg with years of experience in the US.

Happy Halloween you guys! I am currently at a friends house right now charging my phone, because I still have no power. It feels so weird having no electricity and being stranded at home with only candles and flashlights. I've just been catching up on some homework and reading. There's not much else to do. My brother had to leave us since he's in the National Guard, and called us occasionally to let us know that the storm completely destroyed parts of Atlantic City, Hoboken, Seaside Heights, and Jersey City. I hope you guys who were impacted by Hurricane Sandy are all safe and sound. Enjoy your festivities!

When I got a note from Sophia saying Tom Ford's show was having some major Miley Cyrus moments, I dropped everything. At first I wasn't totally clear what she was referring to. Sure, the first looks were styled with sheer thigh-high stockings sexy enough to classify as scandalous in my book (Tom Ford is no stranger to sexy, after all), but it didn't quite jibe with my Dirty Hippie.
But then everything got sexier and sexier. You might recall Miley showing up at Alexander Wang's after-party in high-waisted black trousers and, um, ice cream cone pasties (unless you've blocked it from your memory). Herein lies the Tom Ford connection, as the designer showed several styles, sheer blouses and floor-length gowns included, that covered up the vital bits with pieces so sparkly they practically qualify as statement jewelry.
The nip-concealers weren't his only sultry moment either. There was a definite bondage vibe coming from the sparsely placed stripes on a sheer top, and one long-sleeve, floor-length dress was made up mostly of sheer fabric, creating a feel that was more dressing-gown than red-carpet-ready.
Also, after those crazy bathing suits we saw last week, is bondage a thing for next spring?

CHICAGO, Feb. 8, 2018 – Hyundai today unveiled its redesigned 2018 Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models at the Chicago Auto Show, the largest in the U.S.
2018 Sonata Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid Highlights
The new Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid feature a comprehensive exterior and interior redesign, safety, suspension and new and improved infotainment and connectivity features. The 2018 Hybrid and Plug-in will be produced in Asan, Korea, with Hybrid availability in the first quarter of 2018 and Plug-in availability in the second quarter of 2018.
“Our new 2018 Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in models add appeal in every area, from exterior to interior design, handling, steering, ride comfort, safety and infotainment,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president of Product, Corporate and Digital Planning at Hyundai Motor America. “When combined with Hyundai’s outstanding value and efficiency, the new Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in are sure to attract even more eco-focused buyers.”
The new Sonata exterior design conveys a new appearance from every vantage point, including new wheel designs. On the inside, a new instrument panel center stack, steering wheel, available audio/video navigation system, wireless phone charging and rear USB charge port further enhance the interior experience.
The heart of the 2018 Sonata Hybrid is a 2.0-liter Nu GDI four-cylinder engine coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission that houses a powerful 38 kW electric motor and clutch where the torque converter would normally be found. Sonata Hybrid’s Transmission-Mounted Electrical Device (TMED) delivers the same responsive, engaging driving characteristics Sonata owners expect while improving fuel economy through the use of a larger electric motor.
This innovative transmission uses an electric oil pump, which helps improve efficiency. It is possible for Sonata Hybrid to operate solely on electric power at speeds up to 75 mph by decoupling the gasoline engine from the rest of the drivetrain.
Sonata Hybrid’s Nu engine produces 154 horsepower and 140 lb. ft. of torque. The electric motor produces 38 kW (51 horsepower) and 151 lb. ft. of torque. Hybrid system net power is 193 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. Sonata Hybrid SE has preliminary internal estimates of 39 mpg in the city, 45 mpg on the highway and 42 mpg combined. The Sonata Hybrid’s total range is estimated at more than 650 miles under typical driving conditions.
The lithium-ion polymer battery pack capacity is 1.76 kWh and the battery pack fits under the trunk floor, which allows for a flat trunk floor as well as available 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Sonata Hybrid offers 13.3 cu. ft. of cargo volume, thanks to the compact battery pack dimensions and efficient design. Locating the battery pack beneath the trunk floor helps improve cargo volume and total interior volume with 106.1 cu. ft., the most in its segment.
PLUG-IN HYBRID POWERTRAIN
Although the Sonata Plug-in Hybrid is very technologically advanced, it drives similarly to the regular Sonata Hybrid, but with the additional benefit of extended all-electric range. A 9.8 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack, more than five times larger than the Sonata Hybrid’s battery, gives the Sonata Plug-in Hybrid an EPA-estimated all-electric range of up to 27 miles, and it can recharge in less than three hours with a level-two charger. It offers the best of both worlds by providing the power delivery of a hybrid gasoline engine, perfect for long trips, with the additional benefit of environmentally-friendly all-electric range for commuting. As a result, many consumers will be able to complete their daily commute without using a single drop of fuel, and total estimated range is an impressive 590 miles.
The Sonata Plug-in Hybrid uses a six-speed automatic transmission with Hyundai’s Transmission-Mounted Electrical Device (TMED), a 50 kW electric motor, in place of a torque converter. The 50 kW electric motor is 32 percent more powerful than the motor used in Sonata Hybrid and allows EV operation at higher engine load and speed. A 2.0-liter Nu four-cylinder GDI engine coupled with the electric motor allows the Sonata Plug-in Hybrid to operate just like the Sonata Hybrid once the onboard battery charge is depleted. The Sonata Plug-in Nu engine produces 154 horsepower and 140 lb. ft. of torque and the total system output is 202 horsepower at 6,000 rpm.
2018 Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in come standard with seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag. Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management, Traction Control, ABS and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with individual tire pressure display and a rearview camera are also standard. LED headlamps are optional and LED taillights and DRLs are standard.
Hyundai engineers implemented many active safety technologies for the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in to assist drivers and help prevent accidents. No longer reserved for luxury cars, advanced safety technologies, such as Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert is standard. Available advanced safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist and Automatic High Beam Assist.
The Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in advanced Blind Spot Detection system is designed to alert drivers of an approaching vehicle in the next lane if the turn signal is activated. Drivers are first alerted of a vehicle in the blind spot by warning lights in the side mirrors. When the turn signal is activated, the Lane Change Assist system determines the closing speed of any vehicle in the adjacent lane to determine if the lane change is safe. If the system determines the vehicle in the other lane is closing too quickly, it sounds an audible alarm to warn the driver that the lane change is unsafe. The Lane Keep Assist uses a forward-facing camera to recognize lane markers. If the system detects the vehicle is headed outside the lane markers, a warning on the instrument cluster illuminates and an audible sound alerts the driver.
Rear Cross-traffic Alert (RCTA) is another standard feature that uses advanced technologies from the Blind Spot Detection system. RCTA scans the areas to each side of the Sonata when drivers are backing out of parking spaces. If the system detects another vehicle is approaching from the side, the Sonata driver is given an audible alert. This system is another tool that helps Sonata drivers benefit from active safety technologies.
The Sonata Hybrid delivers the convenience technology one would expect in a luxury vehicle in an incredibly efficient mid-size hybrid sedan. Hyundai’s Hands-free Smart Trunk is available as well as an electronic parking brake with automatic vehicle hold, an Integrated Memory System for driver’s seat and side mirrors, segment-exclusive rear window sunshades, ventilated front seats, power front seats with adjustable driver lumbar support and Smart Cruise Control featuring stop/start capability.
Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in offer an eight-inch color touchscreen navigation system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® smartphone integration, iPod®/USB and auxiliary inputs, SiriusXM® satellite radio and Bluetooth® phone connectivity with phonebook transfer and voice-recognition. Available upgrades include a nine-speaker Infinity premium audio system with subwoofer and external Infinity® amplifier.
The available eight-inch navigation system offers a map and music split-screen display and the ability to record SiriusXM presets one to six. For 2018, this navigation system also adds Bird’s Eye View map perspective capability. Switching to a preset station in the middle of your favorite song won’t be an annoyance any longer; simply rewind up to 22 minutes to listen to the full song or catch up on sports broadcasts. SiriusXM Travel Link® provides access to traffic information, sports scores, weather, stock prices, fuel prices and local movie times.
Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in use the same functional design cues to improve the drag coefficient to an industry-leading 0.24 Cd.
NEXT-GENERATION BLUE LINK® CONNECTED CAR SYSTEM

MYHYUNDAI with BLUE LINK® APP
Owners can manage and monitor the Sonata Plug-In Hybrid remotely via the Blue Link smartphone app. With the app, owners can access real-time data from their Sonata Plug-in and perform specific commands like starting the engine and locking doors. Plus, users can search for points of interest using Google with voice or text and have the directions when they start their Sonata Plug-in.
For Sonata Plug-in owners who will charge at their residence, one of the most useful features of the app is the ability to manage their Plug-in charging schedule. Owners are given vehicle charging options that they can select while in the car, but users can also manage them remotely via their smartphone. Immediate charge is the simplest option, as charging begins as soon as the Sonata Plug-in Hybrid is plugged-in.
A distinctive instrument cluster provides Sonata Plug-in Hybrid drivers with additional information about the vehicle’s functions. A charge indicator is located on top of the dashboard to make it easy to see the state of charge from outside the vehicle.
Individuals that have different electric rates at off-peak times may want to schedule the charge to reduce cost as well as reduce peak demand on the electricity grid. Users can do that with the new app based on time and date. For example, charging could be set to start at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays on a weekly basis.

SONATA PLUG-IN AVAILABILITY AND TAX CREDITS
The Sonata Plug-in Hybrid will be distributed in California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, but customers in any of the other states can custom order the vehicle at their local Hyundai dealer. Sonata Plug-in Hybrid buyers are currently eligible for a $4,919 federal tax credit.

Lying off Tanzania's coast, the Zanzibar Archipelago consists of more than 50 islands, most of which have a long history and a rich cultural mix. The best known island here is Zanzibar (or "Unguja Island", as it is more properly known). It is a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania, which entered into a political union with the mainland after independence.
The larger islands in the archipelago are highly fertile, with many agricultural resources. They're covered with small farms and everywhere the air is thick with the aroma spices – it's an exotic atmosphere. The beaches on these islands are often stunning : many are powdery white sand, shaded by palm trees. The sea is shallow and tropical, and the reefs are great for snorkelling and diving.
We've split Zanzibar up into the following areas :
The heart of Zanzibar Town, Stone Town, is a labyrinth of narrow alleys complete with palaces, mosques, and tiny shops. Come here for a night or two to stay in a small hotel or converted merchant's house – and soak up the atmosphere.
East Coast Zanzibar
The east coast of Zanzibar is lined with long, powder-white beaches; it's very sow and relaxed. We've included here the best small resorts; all quite different !
Or travel offshore to the magical Mnemba Island - for the ultimate private island getaway !
Two or three hours drive from Stone Town, Nungwi has long been a magnet for visitors seeking their slice of paradise. Come for good diving and beaches, and a lively village atmosphere; there's a lot going on here.
Zanzibar's southeast, the Michamvi Peninsula is very similar to the East Coast – small lodges, and the odd larger hotel, on long, stunning, powder-white beaches and palm trees.
South of Stone Town, the Fumba Peninsula is one of the most relaxed and friendly corners of the island – and its very quiet, with few visitors. There are two beautiful lodges here – and offshore is an award-winning eco-resort on Chumbe Island.
See here for day-trips that are possible from virtually anywhere o the island. Talk to us to integrate one or more of these into your time on Zanzibar.
Although part of the archipelago, Pemba is a half-hour flight north-east of Zanzibar. It's a less developed island with a more traditional people, and one smart lodge.
Although not part of the Zanzibar Archipelago, the neighbouring Mafia Archipelago deserves to be better-known, even if we are often glad that it isn't. Come for a handful of great-value tiny beach lodges, and great snorkelling and diving. They're not glitzy or glamorous – but they are good.

Earrings - an important detail for the perfect outfit
For that perfect outfit, a small detail is often missing - the right earrings. The choice is vast. Simple or noticeable, studs or long pendants
- the decision is often not easy because they all have one thing in common - they are simply beautiful to look at.
Make your fellow players envious and impress the male world with just the right earrings, which emphasize the costume of each character.
Filigree and precious
Whether for a wealthy female citizen or for the graceful wife of a nobleman - pretty and precious jewellery lets every woman shine. Whether with a large and striking pendant or as a small discreet stud - the suitable earrings bring each outfit to life. Precisely on a high-necked gown or piece of armour, there is usually no room for chains or bracelets. But for earrings there is always enough room. With the right jewellery you will thus leave behind a lasting impression.
Mystical and dangerous
A winding snake or a complex woven knot is a perfect addition to the character of every witch or magical female herbalist. To show the lineage from a good family or to demonstrate your own business success, silver jewellery is suitable for every LARP event. Thus, with simple means much can be portrayed about your own figure and can allow the character to become even more alive and versatile.
For men and women
Earrings are not only suitable for women; a strong warrior or wealthy tradesman always looks impressive with an ear stud. Whether it is a bronze tree of life or a silver cross - for each character there is the suitable accessory. The chosen costume thus becomes even richer in detail and more authentic. Impress your co-players with a super piece of jewellery so that you will be remembered for a long time to come.
Perfect for every day
But not only at a LARP event can you attract attention with just the right jewellery. Our jewellery is also an eye-catcher for day-to-day wear for every outfit. Whether expensive stud earrings or a striking pendant - with the appropriate earrings each simple garment gains in elegance. A simple everyday look can thus be quickly and simply changed. | <urn:uuid:62dca364-1290-45b0-8a01-fe94f459fa33> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.larp-fashion.co.uk/jewellery/earrings/ | 2020-10-24T20:19:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107884755.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20201024194049-20201024224049-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.94226 | 460 |
