san francisco district attorney’s office agrees to withdraw twitter subpoenas
Last month, the San Francisco District Attorney’s office issued subpoenas to Twitter for tweets, photos, and other information related to the accounts of two activists, Lauren Smith and Robert Donohoe. The District Attorney’s office previously charged Smith and Donohoe with offenses stemming from a Columbus Day demonstration last year. After the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a brief in support of the activists’ motion to quash the subpoenas, the District Attorney’s office agreed to withdraw them.
Unfortunately, authorities are increasingly attempting to obtain account information from Twitter. In the case of Malcolm Harris, for example, prosecutors obtained damning tweets related to an Occupy march on the Brooklyn Bridge in October 2011. According to yesterday’s article by ACLU staff attorney Linda Lye,
In a disturbing trend that can have a chilling effect on free speech, law enforcement agencies around the country are seeking wide-ranging information about the social networking activity of political activists. … A district attorney’s decision to prosecute is not an invitation for the government to engage in intrusive fishing expeditions into a criminal defendant’s beliefs and interests, let alone the beliefs and interests of third parties… By issuing the subpoenas, the San Francisco DA sent an intimidating message to protesters everywhere.
prosecutors in brooklyn bridge case obtained damning account information from twitter
Yesterday Malcolm Harris, one of approximately 700 people arrested during an Occupy march on the Brooklyn Bridge in October 2011, pled guilty to disorderly conduct. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. obtained Harris’s Twitter posts in September, because the District Attorney’s office argued that the tweets could show whether Harris knew about police orders he allegedly ignored. Judge Sciarrino reviewed the posts and turned over a few pages – the portions relevant to the disorderly conduct prosecution – to the District Attorney’s office.
According to today’s New York Times article, the prosecutors were right:
“They tried to stop us, absolutely did not want us on the motorway,” the writer, Malcolm Harris, posted during the march on Oct. 1, 2011, according to passages read by a prosecutor in court. “They tried to block and threaten arrest. We were too many and too loud. They backed up until they could put up barricades.”
The approximately 700 arrests are also the subject of a class action lawsuit still pending against the police.
authorities increasingly attempt to obtain account information from twitter
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. decided on Monday that Twitter must turn over an Occupy Wall Street protester’s tweets from a period of roughly three months. Judge Sciarrino will review the tweets and provide those portions that are relevant to a disorderly conduct prosecution to the District Attorney’s office. The prosecution resulted from an Occupy march on the Brooklyn Bridge last October.
Twitter righteously fought the DA’s office’s demand for the tweets. Yet prosecutors argued that the tweets could show whether the protester, online magazine editor Malcolm Harris, knew about police orders he allegedly ignored. The arrest was one of approximately 700 on October 1, 2011, which are the subject of a class action lawsuit still pending against the police.
Also on Monday, Twitter released its first Transparency Report, which listed the U.S. government as having requested user account information 679 times since January 1, more than in all of 2011. Twitter produced some or all of the requested information three-quarters of the time. “We notify affected users of requests for their account info,” the report says, “unless we’re prohibited by law.” | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5222 | {"url": "https://activistdefense.wordpress.com/tag/malcolm-harris/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "activistdefense.wordpress.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:44:10Z", "digest": "sha1:LNHIASFNMXVPWUPUHWBWY3JWQO5R3E3Y"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3906, 3906.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3906, 5150.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3906, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3906, 58.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3906, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3906, 254.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3906, 0.3490701]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3906, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3906, 0.0640197]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3906, 0.21360419]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3906, 0.17359187]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3906, 0.15081564]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3906, 0.09172053]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3906, 0.0640197]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3906, 0.04432133]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3906, 0.05170822]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3906, 0.04155125]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3906, 0.00858369]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3906, 0.14449213]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3906, 0.47474747]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3906, 5.46969697]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3906, 0.00286123]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3906, 5.15907158]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3906, 594.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 98, 0.0], [98, 642, 1.0], [642, 955, 0.0], [955, 1503, 1.0], [1503, 1589, 0.0], [1589, 2150, 1.0], [2150, 2223, 0.0], [2223, 2539, 1.0], [2539, 2650, 1.0], [2650, 2726, 0.0], [2726, 3143, 1.0], [3143, 3512, 1.0], [3512, 3906, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 98, 0.0], [98, 642, 0.0], [642, 955, 0.0], [955, 1503, 0.0], [1503, 1589, 0.0], [1589, 2150, 0.0], [2150, 2223, 0.0], [2223, 2539, 0.0], [2539, 2650, 0.0], [2650, 2726, 0.0], [2726, 3143, 0.0], [3143, 3512, 0.0], [3512, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 3.0], [20, 98, 10.0], [98, 642, 80.0], [642, 955, 45.0], [955, 1503, 82.0], [1503, 1589, 11.0], [1589, 2150, 84.0], [2150, 2223, 11.0], [2223, 2539, 57.0], [2539, 2650, 18.0], [2650, 2726, 9.0], [2726, 3143, 64.0], [3143, 3512, 58.0], [3512, 3906, 62.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 98, 0.0], [98, 642, 0.0], [642, 955, 0.0130719], [955, 1503, 0.0], [1503, 1589, 0.0], [1589, 2150, 0.01265823], [2150, 2223, 0.0], [2223, 2539, 0.01644737], [2539, 2650, 0.02752294], [2650, 2726, 0.0], [2726, 3143, 0.0], [3143, 3512, 0.02216066], [3512, 3906, 0.02088773]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 98, 0.0], [98, 642, 0.0], [642, 955, 0.0], [955, 1503, 0.0], [1503, 1589, 0.0], [1589, 2150, 0.0], [2150, 2223, 0.0], [2223, 2539, 0.0], [2539, 2650, 0.0], [2650, 2726, 0.0], [2726, 3143, 0.0], [3143, 3512, 0.0], [3512, 3906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.05], [20, 98, 0.0], [98, 642, 0.04963235], [642, 955, 0.05111821], [955, 1503, 0.01277372], [1503, 1589, 0.0], [1589, 2150, 0.04278075], [2150, 2223, 0.05479452], [2223, 2539, 0.0221519], [2539, 2650, 0.00900901], [2650, 2726, 0.0], [2726, 3143, 0.05035971], [3143, 3512, 0.02168022], [3512, 3906, 0.02538071]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3906, 0.9513551]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3906, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3906, 0.79608941]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3906, -250.75169952]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3906, 103.47635461]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3906, -61.73117208]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3906, 29.0]]} |

Fleshlight Girls Buy 2 Get 1
October 6, 2022 by adkinsloudermilk.com
Fleshlights are made of flesh-like material that mimics the appearance of a real woman’s genitalia. You can find these toys in many sizes and shapes. Some models can be redesigned to look like female porn stars. The packaging is similar to clothing, and they may even look like an actual human being.
The original Fleshlight was invented by a former Los Angeles County police officer named Steve Shubin. It was designed to be discreet and provide the most realistic feeling to the user. Both of these goals were achieved by the inventor. It was the first mass-produced fake vagina. It was made of phthalate-free Real Feel SuperSkin that simulates the feel of sexual activity.
You’ve found the best fleshlights available. Based on many factors, such as user ratings, we have compiled a list of the top Fleshlights. We keep our list up-to-date with the latest products and new releases.
The size of your Fleshlight is an important consideration. It should be small enough to transport but not too big that it makes the light difficult to use. Because it’s half the size of a regular fleshlight, the Quickshot Vantage is a great choice for everyday use. It is also modeled after Jenna Haze (porn star) and one of the most affordable fleshlights available.
Fleshlight Girls are one of the most popular types of sex toys on the market today. Products by the company feature the genitals popular porn stars. They are created to give a real experience. The dolls come in many sizes and colors, and have a variety features.
There are many sizes and textures available for the Fleshlight Girls dolls. One of the options is the Stoya Fleshlight sleeve, which has the most intense texture. It closely resembles Stoya’s tight pussy. The texture starts with a small canal and expands to include larger bumps and fangs. Then, there are two additional sections of fangs, and finally, a sleeve that feels lifelike.
FeelRae is another option. Although it’s a mild stroker this product can stimulate the penis throughout your entire shaft.

Freemasonry is a centuries-old tradition that has played an important role in preserving Western culture. Drawing its inspiration from ancient mystery cults, Freemasonry evolved as a way for stonemasons and other craftsmen to meet and socialize. Today, Masonic rituals are still used to celebrate various aspects of life, such as friendship, strength, and morality. Freemasons also work together to support charitable causes. As one of the oldest and most widespread fraternal organizations in the world, Masonry holds considerable importance not only within its own circles but also within broader society.
The symbolism and meaning of Masonic rituals is one of the most important aspects of Freemasonry. Masonic rituals are designed to represent a number of important concepts and values, including brotherhood, progress, and justice.
Some of the most common symbols used in Masonic rituals include the square and compass, the pentagram, and the triangle. These symbols represent various aspects of Freemasonry, including geometry, geometry, and architecture.
Other important symbols used in Masonic rituals include the Bible, the sword, and the gavel. The Bible symbolizes knowledge and wisdom, while the sword represents strength and courage. The gavel represents authority and justice.
Masonic rituals also often include references to other important figures in Western culture, including King Solomon, Shakespeare, and John Locke. These references help to symbolize the importance of Freemasonry in preserving Western culture.
One of the most important roles that Freemasonry has played in preserving Western culture is through its ritual rituals. Masonry traces its origins back to the Middle Ages and its rituals are steeped in symbolism and meaning. While many of these mysteries have been lost over time, Freemasonry continues to play an important role in preserving traditional values and customs.
Masonic lodges are typically designed with a central square (the lodge room) around which other rooms (the library, dining room, etc.) are arranged symmetrically. Each Masonic lodge also has a Grand Lodge affiliated with it that governs the order's formal proceedings and manages membership. In addition, each constituent country or region has its own Grand Lodge with jurisdiction over only masons residing within that country or region.
Each Masonic lodge also maintains records dating back to 1717 documenting the order's descent from one English grand master to another. This archive provides valuable perspective on not only British history but world history as well as western culture more broadly.
For example, it is clear that Freemasonry had a significant impact on developing concepts such as liberty, philanthropy, and democracy – all Principles of Freemasonry!
Freemasonry has had a profound impact on modern society, through its influence on politics and culture. In politics, Freemasonry has long been seen as a route to power and influence. Many leaders in both the political and military arenas have been Masons, including George Washington, who was one of America's first Presidents. Masonic lodges also continue to play an important role in American politics by sponsoring events and fundraising for candidates. Beyond politics, Freemasonry's impact can be seen in other aspects of modern life. For example, many prominent businessmen were Masons, such as Andrew Carnegie and Joseph Kennedy. This tradition of success has helped contribute to the rise of America as a global economic power. Additionally, Freemasonry within the United Kingdom has played a role in preserving British culture. For example, during the 19th century, Freemasonry helped to create the modern police force. In addition, many of Britain's most famous landmarks, such as Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square, were built by Masons. Finally, Freemasonry has had an impact on modern culture through its influence on art and architecture. Many notable artists have been Masons, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Their experiences within the lodges have helped shape their artistic expression. In conclusion, Masonic lodges continue to play a significant role in both American and British politics and society, as well as in art and architecture.
Freemasonry has a long and rich history that has had a significant impact on modern society. Freemasonry has played a role in preserving Western culture and has helped to shape the way that we live today.
Masonic rituals have been used for centuries to help members learn about the principles of morality and brotherhood. These rituals also help members connect with their heritage and explore their own personal beliefs. Freemasonry has also played a role in promoting democracy and social justice.
Masonic symbols and traditions have become commonplace in everyday life. Freemasons often use these symbols to represent important values such as tolerance, honesty, and courage. Freemasons also use these symbols to promote brotherhood and solidarity among members of the fraternity.
Masonic rituals have long been used throughout the world as a way to preserve Western culture and traditions. Freemasonry has played an important role in preserving numerous languages and religious ceremonies, and it continues to play a significant role in education today. Masonic ceremonies are often used as a way to teach important moral values, such as accountability, responsibility, and brotherhood. Masonic ritual also provides an opportunity for members to connect with each other on a deeper level. Freemasonry is often seen as a source of community support and strength, which is why it has been so widely embraced by people throughout the world.
Much has been said and written about Freemasonry over the years, but misconceptions abound. Some people believe that masons are in league with the devil, while others think that the oaths taken by new members make them accomplices to crime. In this article, we'll explore some of the more common misconceptions about Masonry and see how they've impacted society.
One major misconception is that Masonry is a secret organization with sinister intentions. In fact, Freemasonry is one of the most open organizations in existence today – anyone can join without requiring anyspecial qualifications. The only requirement is a willingness to adhere to Masonic principles and obligations, which include charity work and promoting ethical behavior.
Another misconception concerns Masonic oaths: many people assume that new members must swear an oath of allegiance to the Freemasons' highest authority, the Grand Lodge. in fact, most Masonry oaths are symbolic and have no bearing on a member's relationship with the organization. In fact, some Masonic lodges even prohibit their members from taking any binding oaths at all!
In conclusion, while Masonry may sometimes be associated with secrecy and hidden agendas, its true purpose is to promote moral values and live up to its principles. Thanks to Freemasonry's rich history and traditions, society as a whole has benefited enormously. We should continue to celebrate these positive contributions by exploring Freemasonry more deeply – it might just change our perceptions about this venerable organization for the better!
One of the most noticeable and enduring aspects of Freemasonry is its ritualistic nature. From its origins in medieval Europe, Masonic rituals have been adapted and transformed over the centuries to reflect the changing needs and values of its membership.
Today, Masonic ceremonies remain an important part of many members' lives, not only because they provide a meaningful way to connect with others within the fraternity, but also because they serve as powerful symbols of Western culture. Masonry's tradition of preserving history through ritual has played an essential role in shaping modern society, from fostering unity among disparate groups to promote morality and tolerance. As the world continues to become more complex and multicultural, it is inevitable that Freemasonry will continue play a significant role in preserving our shared heritage and traditions.
The power of Masonic rituals and traditions is undeniable. The ancient customs of Freemasonry have connected people from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life over the centuries, providing a strong foundation for many aspects of Western culture to survive and remain relevant today. From its origins as an exclusive fraternity based upon brotherly love, relief and truth to its abundant influence on societies worldwide in the modern day, Freemasonry has played a significant role in preserving the culture and traditions that make up our shared history. As we continue exploring these unique practices we gain greater understanding into the true meaning behind them; ultimately forging a path forward together with common purpose enriched by tradition. |

Open- vs. Closed-Angle Glaucoma: What’s the Difference?
by ECS Ohio | Jul 9, 2021 | Eye Health, Glaucoma, Vision Loss
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases, and each type is different. The two most common forms are open-angle glaucoma, and closed-angle glaucoma. These two types of glaucoma in particular have several things in common: High eye pressure is the greatest risk factor They... | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5227 | {"url": "https://affinityeyecaregroup.com/tag/common-form-of-glaucoma/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "affinityeyecaregroup.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T10:45:43Z", "digest": "sha1:CI3FC4JGF5K4RUZONCWWMDT2YTIAUOK3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 387, 387.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 387, 2422.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 387, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 387, 131.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 387, 0.9]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 387, 288.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 387, 0.28235294]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 387, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 387, 0.125]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 387, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 387, 0.01176471]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 387, 0.33333333]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 387, 0.24705882]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 387, 0.72580645]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 387, 4.90322581]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 387, 0.01176471]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 387, 3.66010481]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 387, 62.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 56, 1.0], [56, 118, 0.0], [118, 387, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 56, 0.0], [56, 118, 0.0], [118, 387, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 56, 7.0], [56, 118, 11.0], [118, 387, 44.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 56, 0.0], [56, 118, 0.09259259], [118, 387, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 56, 0.0], [56, 118, 0.0], [118, 387, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 56, 0.10714286], [56, 118, 0.16129032], [118, 387, 0.01858736]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 387, 0.00360143]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 387, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 387, 0.00013745]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 387, -35.06756874]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 387, -10.18258916]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 387, -17.63867204]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 387, 5.0]]} |

SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES: Form-finding of tensile surface structures through 3D printing on pre-stressed fabric
Textiles have been used in architecture ever since humankind began to build. Already nomadic tribes have used their tensile strength, flexibility and adaptability to build their first shelters. Nowadays, the development of highly engineered fibers with growing strength-to-weight ratio as well as new production technologies […] | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5230 | {"url": "https://agatakycia.com/category/physical-form-finding/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "agatakycia.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:17:10Z", "digest": "sha1:WJBZM6DLGGQKK6MB562E4QPB33GSJUSP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 819, 819.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 819, 3331.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 819, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 819, 99.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 819, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 819, 282.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 819, 0.30985915]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 819, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 819, 0.01461988]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 819, 0.02816901]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 819, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 819, 0.16901408]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 819, 0.77192982]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 819, 6.0]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 819, 0.01408451]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 819, 4.33541256]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 819, 114.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 68, 0.0], [68, 382, 0.0], [382, 491, 0.0], [491, 819, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 68, 0.0], [68, 382, 0.0], [382, 491, 0.0], [491, 819, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 45, 6.0], [45, 68, 3.0], [68, 382, 46.0], [382, 491, 13.0], [491, 819, 46.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 68, 0.0], [68, 382, 0.0], [382, 491, 0.00961538], [491, 819, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 68, 0.0], [68, 382, 0.0], [382, 491, 0.0], [491, 819, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.04444444], [45, 68, 0.13043478], [68, 382, 0.04140127], [382, 491, 0.19266055], [491, 819, 0.00914634]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 819, 0.02267843]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 819, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 819, 8.46e-06]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 819, -40.4582174]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 819, -1.93816584]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 819, -1.18060806]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 819, 6.0]]} |

Lab Releases New Research on Effectiveness of Agile Strategy
By Liz Nilsen | July 5, 2017
Last week, we released a paper and a presentation at the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) conference. From 2013-2016, we worked with the Pathways program of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter). Pathways was an effort to create a “tipping point” for including innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) in undergraduate engineering education. Fifty schools participated from 2013 until 2016 (although a somewhat informal “community of practice” persists). In addition to opportunities to learn about effective approaches to I&E, teams from each institution received training and coaching in Strategic Doing as a way to organize their work together.
As a part of our Hacking Engineering initiative, we invited the schools to be part of follow-up research, and 33 were accepted. The research explores questions about team composition, leadership structure, environmental factors, and the use of agile strategy. To tease out the factors that are most critical to this kind of work, 24 of the schools (those that were in the initiative for at least two years) were divided into quartiles according to the number of new collaborations they had completed (e.g., a new course, a maker space, a student IP policy). We then compared the highest quartile with the lowest to see if any patterns emerged.
The consistent use of Strategic Doing stood out as one of the strongest predictors of team productivity. The teams in the highest quartile had about 8 of the 10 Rules of Strategic Doing consistently, while the teams in the lowest quartile used 2.
The full paper is here; a summary of findings is available in our AgileDoc (the first of what will be a series).

Tofino, British Columbia
A few years ago I took a road trip with the final destination being Tofino, BC. Tofino is a beautiful small surf town on the west coast of Vancouver Island surrounded by ocean and rainforest. While in one of the shops I bought some little round shell buttons and decided that I wanted to incorporate them into a quilt that commemorated the trip and the landscape.
Apart from hanging out around town, we also surfed, hiked, and tried our hand at paddle boarding. Paddle boarding is an amazing experience; to float on the surface and look down into the water and see little fish, coral, urchins, and starfish was definitely an inspiration for this quilt. I also wanted to incorporate the landscape. It rained quite a bit when I was there and you would get these huge expanses of grey sky and grey ocean, which intensified the surprise pops of colour found under the water.
A grey day in Tofino.
West coast marine life.
Originally I had planned to make a full sized quilt but I have quite a collection around here now so decided to do a wall hanging instead (33″ x 38″). My plan was to sew the fabrics I’d picked into a geometric pattern with no real tangible link to the real world. Something about that idea wasn’t grabbing me though and I was having trouble committing to it and begin cutting. It wasn’t until I took some time and rethought about what I was trying to achieve that I began to form a picture of what the quilt would finally become. This happens to me quite a lot and this process can mean that the idea either ruminates in my mind for days or weeks, or in the case of a quilt still to come—years, or result in me sketching out multiple ideas until I am satisfied. Even then a quilt will evolve as I go, as in the case of “A Painting for a Quilt”.
Tofino inspired quilt.
In the end I came up with something more recognizable to reality but still abstract enough that I could shape the movement and reflection of the water, and the brilliant colours underneath it, amongst the stillness of a grey day. The design also allowed me to incorporate the shell buttons, giving them a defined sense of place. The buttons embody the ubiquitous nature of sand on the ocean floor and the makings of a beach but also as representations of shelled ocean creatures.
To hang the quilt I used a method similar to what I saw being done at the museum when hanging textiles and used two small loops of fabric sewn to the back top of the quilt a few inches in on either side. I made sure that the loops where big enough for the wooden slat I was using and slid the slat through the loops, screwing the edges of the wood into the wall. I do notice a bit of a difference between the top and the bottom in how it hangs as the top of the quilt is stabilized and lays flat against the wood while the bottom is more free to hang and tapers a bit towards the bottom. I guess if I really wanted to keep everything flat I could have added a slat to the bottom as well. I’m not sure how this will affect the longevity of the quilt over time so I will have to ask a few of my conservator friends their opinion on the matter! | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5233 | {"url": "https://agnesandpark.com/2016/12/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "agnesandpark.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:49:56Z", "digest": "sha1:7K4SSESFXUFM7LMIBBHITCWB53IG7PZH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3131, 3131.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3131, 4380.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3131, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3131, 78.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3131, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3131, 314.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3131, 0.49459042]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3131, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3131, 0.01201923]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3131, 0.01201923]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3131, 0.0088141]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3131, 0.04636785]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3131, 0.07882535]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3131, 0.48229342]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3131, 4.20910624]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3131, 5.02000649]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3131, 593.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 389, 1.0], [389, 896, 1.0], [896, 918, 1.0], [918, 942, 1.0], [942, 1787, 1.0], [1787, 1810, 1.0], [1810, 2290, 1.0], [2290, 3131, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 389, 0.0], [389, 896, 0.0], [896, 918, 0.0], [918, 942, 0.0], [942, 1787, 0.0], [1787, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2290, 0.0], [2290, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 25, 3.0], [25, 389, 66.0], [389, 896, 89.0], [896, 918, 5.0], [918, 942, 4.0], [942, 1787, 166.0], [1787, 1810, 3.0], [1810, 2290, 83.0], [2290, 3131, 174.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 389, 0.0], [389, 896, 0.0], [896, 918, 0.0], [918, 942, 0.0], [942, 1787, 0.00480192], [1787, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2290, 0.0], [2290, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 389, 0.0], [389, 896, 0.0], [896, 918, 0.0], [918, 942, 0.0], [942, 1787, 0.0], [1787, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2290, 0.0], [2290, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 25, 0.12], [25, 389, 0.03021978], [389, 896, 0.00986193], [896, 918, 0.09090909], [918, 942, 0.04166667], [942, 1787, 0.02130178], [1787, 1810, 0.04347826], [1810, 2290, 0.01041667], [2290, 3131, 0.01307967]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3131, 0.41980076]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3131, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3131, 0.03540778]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3131, 15.56616272]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3131, 33.97435389]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3131, -155.87533589]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3131, 24.0]]} |
Purim 2017 is Today –Sunday
Posted on March 12, 2017 by ahabiblemoments.com
Book of Esther… (Purim 2017 is March 11th and 12th)
In the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on its thirteenth day … on the day that the enemies of the Jews were expected to prevail over them, it was turned about: the Jews prevailed over their adversaries. – Esther 9:1
And they gained relief on the fourteenth (Adar/March), making it a day of feasting and gladness. – Esther 9:17
[Mordecai instructed them] to observe them as days of feasting and gladness, and sending delicacies to one another, and gifts to the poor. – Esther 9:22
Purim is a time of recalling the story and bible history of Haman, Mordechai, Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus; aka: Artaxerxes. As Jews of Judaism sit to eat and drink, there is no limit to how much they drink as long as Jews/Judaism do not misbehave (i.e. sin) for if they are drinking to fulfill the mitzvah, a mitzvah should not cause them to sin. There is no limit to how much they can sing, dance or relate insights into the strange but true story that took place a bit more than two thousand years ago. Purim centers on those who descended from the Babylonian captive Jews who did NOT RETURN to Jerusalem after being released from Babylon captivity; at that time called New Persia.
Ad d’lo Yada means that Jews/Judaism can drink until they no longer know the difference between blessed in Mordecai and cursed in Haman. Drinking to the point of being drunk is a point that Judaism is at odds with most other religions. In some religions alcoholic beverages are strictly forbidden and in other religions being drunk is forbidden. Judaism however makes it a mitzvah (which means only on this one day) and indeed Jews/Judaism must understand why!
The origin of Purim and the mitzvah of the festive seuda meal dates back to the majestic banquet that King Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes or Artaxerxes) made in the capital city Shushan; see Daniel 8:2. Ahasuerus was the king of one hundred and twenty-seven countries or city-states. He ruled the world from India to Africa. This banquet lasted one hundred and eighty days (six months!) and was to celebrate King Ahasuerus unification of his kingdom. Drinks were set out and all participants could enjoy as much as they desired; no one was forced to drink or to stop drinking.
The king drank so much that he became drunk. In his drunkenness he boasted of the beauty of Queen Vashti. He ordered her brought to him and his ministers naked, that all should realize that indeed she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Vasti not being drunk of course refused. The king was incensed that she refused his (drunken) request and he ordered her to be eliminated. How, we do not have those details but she is never again mentioned in scripture or secular records. We can use culture of that time to speculate. If one even dared to enter the presents of the King without being asked, it meant instant death.
JIV NOTE: Many modern day women libbers point to this instance of denying the request of a husband as creating the right of other wives to do the same thing as at this time in history. Those in the king’s court feared that would happen in Persia and demanded a quick and threatening punishment for Vasti. We still do not know of her punishment but knowing the now Arab and Islamic world from this same area, it was probably very severe even though she was probably right.
After her elimination the selection of the king’s new bride began (and subsequent queen). We know this was Esther. Mordecai was Esther’s uncle. After Esther was established as the queen he heard of a plot to kill the king. He reported it to Esther who reported it to the king who investigated and found it to be correct. The king had the would-be assassins executed. But somehow he ‘forgot’ to give a reward to Mordechai.
In the meantime, the wicked Haman the Amalekite, the greatest anti-Semite in his generation, had become appointed Prime Minister of the greater Persian Empire. He was a descendant of Amalek who had no historical love for the Jews having attacked them when they left Egypt; i.e. Amalek was a Canaanite descended from Ham.
Note that knowledge from our Old Testament college course connects a few dots with this information from the Book of Esther; i.e. Egypt, Israel, 12 spies in Promised Land, Amalekites giants and the wandering of Israel.
Haman had a huge ego and he wanted all to bow down before him when he became Prime Minister of Persia. Mordecai was the only one (and only Jew) that refused. This of course infuriated Haman. Haman began a plot to exterminate not just Mordechai, but also his people the Jews of Persia/Babylon.
Mordecai told Esther that she should realize that the reason God anointed her to become queen was in order to rescue her people. It was up to her to do something. She knew that the king’s weak spot was a good brew and although they did not have Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker in those times, they did have strong wine. She held a drinking party for King Ahasuerus and Haman. King Ahasuerus wondered why she invited Haman. He also noticed that Haman was feeling quite pleased with the high status accorded to him by the royal family of Persia (formerly known as Babylon; now Iran).
The king asked Esther the reason for the party and she declined to tell him telling him that at another party she will reveal her purpose. In the meantime the king went back to his palace a bit suspicious or at least quite curious of Haman.
The Old Testament tells us that very same night, the king could not sleep; Esther 6:1. He requested his scribe to read to him from the Persian archives. When the reader mentioned Mordecai and how he saved the king’s life he asked what reward had he been given. The reply was nothing. Ah ha, the king reasoned because he did not reward this man, no one has come forward to tell him what is going on between Esther and Haman. He wanted to know why Haman was invited to Esther’s party!?
Haman had other plans for Mordecai the Jew who would not bow before him. He built a high gallows to hang him. Unfortunately for himself and fortunately for the Jews of Persia (today’s Iran), at the next drinking party that Esther arranged for Ahasuerus and Haman, she revealed to the king that Haman planned to kill her. She being a Jew was under the wicked Haman’s death decree to eradicate all Jews.
The king became infuriated. Being bit tipsy ran out of the room to think. Haman realizing his personal jeopardy and difficult predicament fell to his knees in front of the queen to beg for mercy, but being also a bit tipsy fell onto Esther. That was just as Ahasuerus re-entered the room. Imagine the shock of Ahasuerus to see his top minister lying on top of the queen! He did not hesitate one moment to call for the guards to take Haman and execute him immediately. As the Bible tells us in the book of Esther, Haman was hung from the very gallows he planned to publicly hang Mordechai. This was between 486 and 465 B.C. This is recorded in the bible and Persian records.
The events described in the Book of Esther began around the years 483–482 BCE, and concluded in March, 473 BCE. This is the same location from where Daniel had a vision (Daniel 8:2).
A quote from my Levite Priest friend in Tel Aviv: “Thus through drinking and drunkenness the Jews were saved from destruction. Therefore to commemorate the miracles that happened then, we today imbibe more than normal. Jews are generally not drinkers and therefore this is a difficult *mitzvah to perform. But when one considers that G-d directs the entire universe even to the point when each leaf that falls off from a tree it is guided by G-d to where it will land, we must realize that G-d will protect us if when we drink our desire is to fulfill the mitzvah of Ad d’lo Yada.”
*Mitzvah means “for one day only.”
P.S. Like manmade denominational rules, this is a Jewish celebration not ordered or sanctioned by God.

Cagliari City
Find your dream home in the beautiful city of Cagliari and experience the charm of Sardinian living....
Cagliari City is a 24hr metropolitan location where much of the islands non-touristic comercial, education and political activities take place and is the most populus area in Sardinia as well as the capital. The Sardinian name for Cagliari is Casteddu and means castle and you will find many old fortified areas in the center of the city including the old town with its beautiful architecture and narrow cobblestone streets.
Things to do and see
Visit the Castello, a castle located in the old part of the city. It offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding region.
Explore the historic center of Cagliari, known as the “Marina District.” This area is home to several landmarks, including the Roman Amphitheater, the Cathedral of Santa Maria, and the Bastione of Saint Remy.
Visit the Cagliari Archaeological Museum, which houses a collection of artifacts from the Phoenician, Roman and medieval periods.
Try some of the local cuisine, such as suckling pig, culurgiones (stuffed pasta) and seadas (a type of dessert).
Go shopping in the Via Manno and Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, two of the main shopping streets in the city.
Cagliari is the capital and largest city of the Italian island of Sardinia. It has a long and rich history, having been settled by the Phoenicians, Romans and Byzantines, among others. Here is a brief history of the city:
The Phoenicians established a trading post in Cagliari in the 9th century BC. The city was later conquered by the Romans, who named it “Caralis.”
During the Middle Ages, Cagliari was ruled by a series of dynasties, including the Pisans, the Aragonese and the Spanish.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cagliari underwent significant industrialization and modernization.
During World War II, Cagliari was heavily bombed by the Allies, resulting in significant damage to the city.
In the post-war period, Cagliari experienced rapid economic growth and development, becoming a major cultural and economic hub in Sardinia.
There is a diverse range of property types as you would expect with many apartments and townhouses. Further afield you will come across traditional Sardinian ‘Campidanese’ style houses, these houses typically consist of a large walled courtyard with rooms on 2 or 3 sides of the wall all with doors and windows facing into the central courtyard area and normally connected by a porch the runs outside of the rooms. In the past extra rooms would also be used for livestock or workshops.

Understanding A World of Madness
January 8, 2018 August 3, 2018 ~ Katrina
I was debating about whether to address or talk about this situation at all until I remembered that I created this blog to document the highs AND lows of recovery. Unfortunately, recovering from any mental illness is never a straight road and it would be naïve of me to not address the bumps and slips that are inevitable to happen – it’s all part of the recovery process. For those who have kept or been in contact with me recently will know that the past 5 months have been an absolute rollercoaster from hell. So much has happened and changed since I last posted and due to a number of key and traumatic events accumulating, one day I just broke and I have relapsed.
Though the situation I am currently in is not great, I thought that this would be a good opportunity to try and shine some light on the illness and what it’s like from a sufferer’s point of view. As everyone is unique, everyone’s relationship with their disorder is unique so these points are not facts, just my own views and feelings from my personal experience with the illness. It should also be said that understanding anorexia is not straight forward. Even after having it explained to you, most people still don’t really understand and some people never will. But I think that’s a good thing; I don’t think people should be able to easily comprehend why you’d starve yourself to the point where you’re lying on a hospital bed with a tube up your nose. A rational mind should not be able to make sense of it, but hopefully this will be an eye-opener to some of you:
It’s not all about the food. This may be surprising to a lot of people, but for most anorexics, the cause behind their illness is to seek a sense of control or purpose, rather than to just “look skinny”. We know that people would find us more attractive if we put on weight, but this illness is not spurred on purely by vanity, even if it was at first.
Anorexia isn’t something that you suddenly wake up with. It’s not something you have one day and it’s gone the next, or visa versa. I personally believe that anorexia is something that once manifested, stays with someone forever. The effect to which the illness affects you can vary, e.g. someone could happily live their life without anyone suspecting they have a previous history of anorexia, but I do think that it’s not something that you can ever ‘fully recover’ from. The demon will always be sitting there, it just depends how much and what impact that demon has on your current situation. So some advice would be to refrain from ever asking someone if they’re ‘all better now’ after having a tough time with their mental health problems – it’s not that simple.
Anorexia is also not something you choose. You don’t wake up one morning and think “Hey! I’m going to be anorexic today!” It’s a deceiving illness that creeps it’s way into your life without you even realising. It acts as your comfort blanket but is also a snake of poison that you can’t get away from.
It’s not that we don’t WANT to eat, it’s that we don’t feel like we’re ALLOWED to eat. We’re going against the voice inside our head that is telling us not to eat and that we are failures if we do. We can’t “just eat”. It is like saying to someone who is afraid of heights, “just jump out of the plane”. However just because we won’t eat the food, doesn’t mean we don’t want it, crave it or have been thinking about it all day. In all honestly, we probably think about food more than you do.
Anorexia goes hand in hand with other mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. It is also very common for sufferers of anorexia to suffer with body dysmorphia, which is when a person is preoccupied with an imagined physical defect that others cannot see. This is why we usually perceive ourselves to be bigger than we actually are.
No one can help if you don’t want to get better yourself. Makes sense right? But people may be confused as to why you wouldn’t want to get help in the first place. Surely if you’re ill, you want to get better? This is where it gets complicated. As I said before, the illness usually stems from the need to feel in control and therefore getting help means losing what made you feel in control and safe in the first place. It’s letting go of your best friend (and enemy), the one thing that made you feel safe and losing something that gave you a sense of purpose. It’s scary.
You do not have to be underweight to suffer with anorexia. This is an extremely common misconception and is so far from the truth. You can be ANY weight and suffer with anorexia. Anorexia is a MENTAL health problem with physical side effects. The misconception that you must ‘look’ a certain way to suffer from the illness is extremely harmful as it makes sufferers feel as though if they don’t look underweight, that they are not ‘sick enough’ and can prevent them from seeking help sooner. This is just wrong on so many levels. It’s awful how much weight people lose to just feel like they’ll be believed, so please get the imagine out of your head that you have to look like some emaciated skeleton to suffer with anorexia.
You cannot ‘look’ like an illness. You would never say, “she looks cancerous”, so why is is so normalised to say things like “she looks anorexic” or “you look depressed”? Mental health disorders should not be used as adjectives.
BMI is bullshit. People have died from the effects of anorexia with a higher BMI than of someone who has a lower BMI and is still active. BMI does not take into account one’s bone structure and natural functioning weight. For example, Person A has a natural BMI of 19 and Person B has a natural BMI of 23. Both patients develop an eating disorder and lose weight as a result of this. Person A goes down to a BMI of 17.8 and Person B goes down to a BMI of 20. The effect and power anorexia has is more dominant in Person B, but because they are still classed as within the ‘healthy range’, they are not considered to be as ill as Person A. It’s literal bullshit. You cannot base the seriousness of a MENTAL health problem on a PHYSICAL number, however this is how our system works.
Weight restoration or reaching a healthy weight doesn’t mean you’re recovered. In fact, this is where it get’s really hard. Due to the above misconception that to suffer from anorexia you should look a certain way, people feel as though because they have now gained back the weight, that everyone suddenly expects them to be ‘better’. Just because someone is physically recovered does not mean they are mentally recovered. So comments such as “you look so much better” are the worst. As you know, anorexia is a mental illness with physical side effects, thus you saying that we ‘look better’ for us implies that you think we’re now recovered just because we’ve put on weight. It makes us feel that for people to realise and understand that we’re still struggling, we have to ‘look’ a certain way. We know it is not said with these intentions, but eating disorders aren’t very good at the whole rationalising thing.
Every day is a battle. Everyday you are fighting your own mind and I think that’s the hardest part. You’re fighting the irrational half of your brain that’s telling you to do the opposite of what your rational brain is telling you to do. It’s a absolute mind fuck and it is exhausting. With it also being January, you are bombarded with all the “new year, new me!” sayings and the word ‘diet’ being hurled around like a boomerang which makes fighting the thoughts in your head even harder. *Side note: I will hopefully be getting round to do an anti-diet rant/post soon but if you haven’t already, check out my blog post here, about what being ‘healthy’ really means.
I know I have only really talked about anorexia rather than eating disorders as a whole, or any other mental health illnesses for that matter but it is something I would like to do as there are a myriad of other eating disorders that most people don’t even know about and there are lot more myths and misconceptions that I want to get busted!
Anyway, I hope that these points were helpful or at least insightful and please spread the word if you have learnt anything that you think would be beneficial for others to know. We need to change our attitudes towards talking about mental health and be more open – I am passionate about removing the taboo and stigma around mental health disorders so please never hesitate to get in touch or be afraid to ask any questions.

There are a few ideas you may apply if you want to sell your motorbike. The first piece of advice is to avoid putting a “firm on price” advertisement. Because most buyers anticipate bargaining, a “hard on price” listing will attract fewer bidders.
Customization boosts both performance and attractiveness.
Obtaining records of service
Revealing all of your motorbike knowledge
Using the internet to sell bikes
Selling a motorbike legally on Craigslist
A few changes to your motorbike might increase its performance and make it more appealing to prospective purchasers. According to the 2015 Motorcycle Market Facts Study conducted by Foremost Insurance, 33% of motorcycle owners spend at least $100 on personalizing their bikes. Over $3000 is the average amount of customization. While you shouldn’t go crazy when personalizing your motorbike, adding one-of-a-kind details might appeal to a certain set of consumers.
Obtaining service records may make a significant difference when selling a motorbike on Craigslist. Having these papers available when a buyer requests them demonstrates that you are serious about selling your bike. You should create these papers even if the buyer does not request them. It will shorten the back-and-forth between you and your buyer and demonstrate that you are serious about selling your motorbike.
When selling a motorbike on Craigslist, it is critical to check that the buyer is genuine. You want to avoid fraud and assure that the customer will pay for the motorbike. You may do this by obtaining a bill of sale, which is effectively a sales receipt. Following the transaction, the buyer must file for a new motorbike title in the state where he or she resides.
One of the most effective strategies to sell a motorbike on Craigslist is to reveal all relevant information about it. This covers the model and year, mileage, aftermarket modifications, and whether or not the vehicle has been involved in an accident. It’s also a good idea to incorporate a fun narrative about your bike. People often forget to provide their contact information on Craigslist, but it is critical to include as much information as possible in your ad.
When selling a motorbike on Craigslist, be mindful of the payment methods you accept. Some consumers choose to pay in installments or with a personal check. It is, nevertheless, preferable to sell your motorbike using cash from a bank account. This will protect you from dishonest purchasers and your motorbike from theft.
Using internet tools to sell bikes on Craigslist might be an excellent approach to reach a large audience. Craigslist is a renowned online marketplace that provides hyper-local search. Its listings are organized by area, so you can choose the region you wish to target with your motorbike advertising. Craigslist used to be free for motorbike postings, but it altered its regulations in November 2016 and now charges a $5 listing fee. Despite the price, Craigslist is still significantly less expensive than other selling platforms, and it’s an excellent choice for selling a bike. However, it’s important to note that Craigslist has a history of predatory conduct, so proceed with caution.
If you’re looking to sell a motorbike for cash, consider utilizing eBay as well. This online marketplace is renowned for selling bikes, and it allows you to access consumers all around the nation. eBay, in addition to providing countrywide reach, safeguards merchants against fraud. You may also publish a starting price or a fixed selling price on eBay and sell your bike for cash. You may also restrict your sales to local pickup or provide shipping alternatives, depending on your area. Remember that eBay imposes a 1.5 percent fee on the selling price of your motorbike.
There are several things you should know before selling your motorbike on Craigslist. First and foremost, you should always report any flaws with your motorbike. While it is not always straightforward, it is critical to inform the customer of what he or she will get before completing a purchase. This will protect you legally and prevent any misunderstandings with the customer.
Second, have a bill of sale ready. Before you sell your motorbike, be sure you have a signed copy. Also, before concluding the purchase, allow the buyer to test-drive your bike. Most merchants will be more than happy to do so. It is also a good idea for the buyer to pay with cash rather than a credit card.

Winnie the pooh eeyore
Eeyore (/ˈiːɔːr/ EE-or) is a character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books by A. A. Milne. He is generally characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey who is a friend of the title character, Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore quotes
Disney adaptations
Casting history
Eeyore appears in chapters IV, VI, VII, and X of Winnie-the-Pooh, and is mentioned in a few others. He also appears in all the chapters of The House at Pooh Corner except chapter VII. His name is an onomatopoeic representation of the braying sound made by a normal donkey, usually represented as "hee haw" in American English: the spelling with an "r" is explained by the fact that Milne and most of his intended audience spoke a non-rhotic variety of English in which the "r" in "Eeyore" is not pronounced as /r/.
Physically, Eeyore is described as an "old grey donkey." In Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, he appears to be about chin-high to Pooh and about hip-high to Christopher Robin. He has a long, detachable tail with a pink bow on the end, of which he is very fond, but which he is also prone to losing (Owl once mistakes it for a bell-pull). Christopher Robin is able to reattach the tail with a drawing pin.
In The House at Pooh Corner, Eeyore's level of literacy is unclear. When Christopher Robin shows him the letter "A," Eeyore does not understand its meaning, knowing only that "it means learning," something he desperately wants to be seen as having, but he angrily destroys the letter after finding that Rabbit (who is quite literate) knows about it already. Nevertheless, he spells his own name "eoR" when signing the "rissolution" that the animals give to Christopher Robin as a farewell present in the final chapter. Eeyore also wrote the awkwardly-rhymed poem called "POEM", which appeared on the "rissolution", making him the only character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books other than Pooh himself who attempts to write poetry (a fact that Eeyore himself notes). When Pooh humbly declares that Eeyore's poetry is better than his own, "really believing it to be true," Eeyore vainly replies that "it was meant to be."
Eeyore has a poor opinion of most of the other animals in the Forest, describing them as having "No brain at all, some of them", "only grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake" (from chapter 1 of The House at Pooh Corner). Eeyore's favorite food is thistles. He lives in the southeast corner of the Hundred Acre Wood, in an area labeled "Eeyore's Gloomy Place: Rather Boggy and Sad" on the map in the book. He has a stick house therein called The House at Pooh Corner. Pooh and Piglet built it for him after accidentally mistaking the original house that Eeyore built for a pile of sticks. On Eeyore's birthday, he is given an empty honey jar from Pooh for keeping things in, a popped red balloon from Piglet to keep in the pot, and a note from Owl.
Eeyore is also surprisingly good at the game Poohsticks, winning more times than anyone else when it is played in the sixth chapter.
Eeyore appears in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons popularized by The Walt Disney Company. He is somewhat less caustic and sarcastic in the Disney version than in Alan Milne's original stories. Though often a supporting character, Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore focuses on him. He is physically one of the stronger animals and is often treated as a pack animal whenever a plot calls for one. His house is regularly knocked down, but he always rebuilds it. He usually expects misfortune to happen to him, accepts it when it does and rarely even tries to prevent it. His catchphrases are "Thanks for noticin' me" and "Ohhh-kayyy".
Despite his depressive nature, Eeyore is capable of great compassion, whereas in the books he is more apathetic. Several episodes of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episodes exemplify this, including "Donkey for a Day", "Stripes", "Home is Where the Home is" and "Eeyi Eeyi Eeyore". Eeyore is usually one of the core group of animals, along with Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit and Tigger. Of these five, he is the most reluctant to go along with their plans or adventures, but does not oppose them because he believes it to be futile to try.
In the adaptations, Eeyore has developed a close friendship with Tigger. Despite their opposite personalities, Eeyore's passive nature and Tigger's optimism and outgoingness help them to accept each other's flaws and understand each other better. Their closeness begins at the end of Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore and continues in later works such as The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving and the Winnie the Pooh film.
His tail was not always fixed to him by a nail, although Disney has chosen this as part of his permanent image. When Eeyore lost his tail, Owl found it and used it as a bell-pull beside his door before Pooh found it for Eeyore. Christopher Robin then pinned it back on. According to Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, this was possible because Eeyore is full of sawdust. In Disney merchandise, Eeyore sometimes has an uncharacteristic smile. In animation, Eeyore is colored his natural grey, though he is coloured blue with a pink muzzle in merchandising. He appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts for meet and greets.
Eeyore was voiced by Ralph Wright in the original featurettes, although Ron Feinberg filled in as his voice in the short film Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons. Ron Gans took over the role for Welcome to Pooh Corner and was succeeded by Peter Cullen in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh through My Friends Tigger and Pooh. Although Cullen was still active when the film Winnie the Pooh was in production, Eeyore was voiced by Bud Luckey for the film. In reference to this, Cullen re-enacted a scene at BotCon to demonstrate a scene where his character Optimus Prime meets Eeyore. Gregg Berger voiced Eeyore in the Kingdom Hearts series and Kinect: Disneyland Adventures.

Panettone, the Christmas treat with a Catholic history

V. M. Traverso - published on 12/11/20
The development of the popular cake can be traced back to a Renaissance-era papal chef and a 16th-century Catholic boarding school.
There are a few things that symbolize “Christmas” all around the world. In many countries, people trim trees, celebrate with Christmas carols, and create intricate Nativity scenes to herald the coming of the baby Jesus.
But to Italians, Christmas would not be the same without Panettone, the iconic dome-shaped Christmas cake. Dating back to Roman times, this soft, sweet loaf cake stuffed with raisins, nuts and candied fruits owes much of its development to Catholic figures.
As many as 54 million Panettone are sold in Italy each year.

We know from historical evidence that ancient Romans used to bake a type of leavened bread (panem triticum) with eggs, honey and raisins for celebrations. But it’s not until the Renaissance that we have proof of a Panettone recipe akin to that of contemporary patisseries. Sixteenth-century cookbooks by Bartolomeo Scappi, a chef who served Pope Pius V, show that a loaf cake filled with raisins was part of the refined menu he put together for the Head of the Church. Panettone, made up of the words “panetto” (loaf) and “one” (big), was also featured in a 16th-century painting by Pieter Brueghel the Elder.
The personal chef of Pope Pius V (1504-1572) kept a recipe for Panettone in his cookbooks.

Thanks to these historical clues, we know that an ancestor of today’s Panettone was common during the Renaissance. But when did it become a Christmas cake? As with many iconic foods, legend and myths have developed about the origin of Panettone as a Christmas cake. The most popular legend has it that Panettone was invented on a Christmas eve of the 15th century at the court of Ludovico il Moro in Milan. The chef had prepared a Christmas pudding that got burned. But the dinner was saved by the ingenuity of a servant, Toni, who stuffed a loaf of bread with raisins, sugar and nuts. Ludovico il Moroliked the bread so much that he called it “Pan de Toni” (bread of Toni).
Whether true or not, the legend seems to be rooted in some reality. Thanks to records kept by a Catholic boarding school, the Borromeo school of Pavia, we know that by the 1500s Panettone had become a Christmas tradition.
Records kept by the Catholic boarding school “Collegio Borromeo” show that students were served a “Christmas bread” made with butter, raisins and spices in 1559.

Founded by Milanese Cardinal Saint Carlo Borromeo in 1561 and defined as “the palace of knowledge” by art historian Giorgio Vasari, the Borromeo College hosted promising students of disadvantaged backgrounds. Students were housed and trained by Catholic priests and professors and many notable theologians, doctors and lawyers graduated from this school. The meticulous records kept by its administrators show that in 1599 students were served a “Christmas bread” made with butter, raisins and spices.
Moreover, records dating to the 16th century show that Milanese bakers used to make Panettone in the weeks leading to Christmas. Breaking from the traditional habit of baking white bread for rich customers and millet bread for poorer ones, Panettone was distributed to rich and poor alike.
During the 18th century, Panettone was named by Pietro Verri as a typical Christmas tradition in his “History of Milan.” But it wasn’t until the 1920s that the famous cake got its current dome-shaped look. We owe that to Milanese baker Angelo Motta, a member of the The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, who mimicked the kulic, a traditional Russian cake usually baked for Easter.
We owe the current shape of Panettone to Milanese baker Angelo Motta who shaped it after kulic, a popular Russian Easter cake.

Today, as many as 54 million Panettones are bought during the holidays in Italy alone, and Pope Francis has become a fan of the tradition. Since his papacy began in 2013 he has been receiving a special Panettone, created for the pope by Sicilian chef Nicola Fiasconaro. It is baked with “manna,” the famous biblical substance found in the bark of ash trees.

Dept. of Ed Says Title IX Does Not Apply to LGBTQ Discrimination
01/12/2020 | Inside Higher Ed
The United States Department of Education’s Office of the General Counsel published a memorandum on Friday that states that LGBTQ students are not expressly included in protections under Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination at federally funded institutions. Questions about how Title IX applies to LGBTQ students surfaced after the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in June, Bostock v. Clayton County, which cemented protections for LGBTQ workers under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the law that prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, sex, religion or national origin. The Supreme Court determined that “sex” under Title VII should be interpreted to include LGBTQ people, when they face discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Legal experts and some of the justices themselves suggested the ruling could have consequences for other laws that apply to sex discrimination, including Title IX. The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, or OCR, overseen by former education secretary Betsy DeVos, has since signaled that it would investigate some Title IX complaints that allege discrimination based on homosexuality or transgender identity, but that some exceptions remain for Title IX enforcement. For example, the department said in previous letters that it is not discrimination against transgender students for a school to maintain separate sports teams based on biological sex.

Abductees Mothers Association rally statement protesting against worsening conditions of abductees and detainees amidst cold spell.
Association Statements / December 19, 2021 December 19, 2021
More than 620 of our abducted, arbitrarily detained and forcibly disappeared sons have been suffering worsening conditions at prisons all over the country, especially amidst the cold spell, which makes them vulnerable to winter illnesses while being deprived of medical care.
According to the figures of Abductees’ Mothers Association, the current numbers of abductees and arbitrarily detained persons are; 507 abducted civilians, 3 of whom are women, are held by Houthi armed group, 85 arbitrarily detained and forcibly disappeared persons held by STC-controlled Security Belt in Aden, 21 detainees held by the government in Marib and Taiz, and 11 abductees held by the Joint Forces at the west coast. The conditions of all abductees and detainees have deteriorated, especially the winter becomes much harsher.
At Alsaleh Prison in Taiz, which is run by Houthi armed group, officers take the blankets and clothes provided by abductees’ families, but they are never given to the abductees inside prisons while at Central Prison in Sana’a only a little bit of food is provided to abductees, and no blankets are allowed inside Political Security Prison in Sana’a. At Security Belt’s Prisons in Aden, arbitrarily detained individuals are not allowed to leave their cells for sunlight and warmth.
Additionally, many cells of the government’s prisons are not equipped with mattresses and blankets while at west coast’s prisons families are not allowed to provide any food or medications for their abducted relatives.
At Abductees’ Mothers Association, we rally here by the office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Sana’a to show our protest against the inhuman detention conditions in all prisons, and condemn the medical negligence and prevention of providing clothes, blankets, medications and food at prisons. We demand the ICRC to visit prisons in order to take care of detainees’ wellness, especially the ailed ones.
We call upon human rights organizations and activists to support our abducted, forcibly disappeared and arbitrarily detained sons, and stand behind their case until they are released and their suffering is ended.

American Spaces Exemplify the United States Commitment to a core tenet of democracy: the citizen’s right to free access to information. With nearly 650 Spaces worldwide, American Spaces provide access to the latest, in-depth information about the United States, connecting Americans and host country citizens in engaging discussions on United States policy, society, culture and values.
SPACES for conversations
Hosted in embassies, schools, libraries, and other partner institutions worldwide, American Spaces provide welcoming environments where foreign visitors can connect and learn about the United States. U.S. experts, U.S. government officials, and other Americans engage visitors on U.S. policy and society. Alumni gather to share experiences and reconnect with America.
SPACES for information
American Spaces are platforms for teaching skills providing information. Visitors can find answers to questions about U.S. and issues of global concern. They can connect to the U.S. on sensitive but important issues such as HIV/AIDS and human trafficking – through digital programs. Poster shows and other exhibits illustrate the diversity of American society. IIP-managed online database, publications, videos, photos, and speakers are key resources.
SPACES for Engagement
A multifunctional platform for public diplomacy programs, American Spaces Promote open dialogue, counteract negative preconceptions, and build bridges of understanding. Often located outside of capital cities, they introduce the U.S. to residents who have limited exposure to American culture and ideals. Foreign Service Officers speak to local audiences, and field-based Information Resource Officer corps provides professional guidance to host institutions, identifies appropriate information resources, and trains both embassy and local staff on current methods to reach out to their audiences.

How does our body tell us where we are?
A lot of the time, I have patients that come in to us here at Amplify EyeCare Manhattan, and they have balance or dizziness issues. I talk to them about some of the aspects that create balance or dizziness issues. But first, you have to know how those systems work together to tell you where you are in space. Our body receives input from three different systems, each acting like a leg of a tripod to help keep us balanced. Without the proper input from one of these systems a person can feel like they're uncomfortable walking without worrying that they're going to fall, or maybe have fallen in the past. Some patients feel like they are not walking on stable ground like the concrete might feel soft.
The First System: Kinesthetic System
Some feedback we get from the kinesthetic system is from walking. When we're feeling the ground, our feet give us the signal that we're walking on something hard or soft. So that's one leg of this tripod that our body relies on, to be able to tell us where we are, which directions up and where are we in space and where things are in space.
The Second System: The Vestibular System
The other two systems are much more important and our body relies on them a lot more. One is the vestibular system, and that's in the inner ear. And it's a regulating system that tells us which direction is up. It lets us know where we are in space. And it's relied on for balance.
The Third System: The Visual System
The third prong of this tripod of balance is your visual system. When your eyes work together, they tell your body where things are in space and where you are by pointing at them and localizing how far away that object is. It's called stereopsis or depth perception. Our eyes kind of work as a team to coordinate to tell you this thing is 10 feet away, this thing I think is two feet away. (Unlike car mirrors, which always appear further than they actually are). The visual system relies on good vision in both eyes. But more than that, it relies on an agreement between the eyes, the eyes, working together in tandem, to tell you where things are in space. If you're having a vision issue, you can create huge problems with dizziness and balance, and usually those problems can be helped with either a special type of glasses (prisms), or vision therapy to help your eyes learn how to work as a team better.
Should I visit an eye doctor if I have balance or dizziness issues?
I always recommend that if anybody's having balance or dizziness issues, they should be checked out for an underlying vision issue. This is specifically tested by a developmental or behavioural optometrist that will look at things that go beyond the health of your eyes. This exam will look at how your eyes work together as a team, and how your eyes work in different positions of looking. Those things kind of allow us to look inside the component of vision that is through the brain, enabling the eye doctor to see how it is functioning.

Paving the Way for Positive Change Paving the Way for Positive Change
Islam has been a source of inspiration for millions of people around the world. From the earliest days of the religion, Muslims have been working to make positive changes in their communities and in the world at large. In this article, we will explore some of the most inspirational Muslims who have made a difference through their work in various fields.
One of the most influential Muslims of the modern era is Malala Yousafzai. She rose to prominence in 2012 when she was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for girls' education in her native Pakistan. Malala survived the attack and went on to become an activist and advocate for education rights for girls around the world. In 2014, at the age of 17, she became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Another Muslim who has made a significant impact on the world is Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens. After achieving success as a singer-songwriter in the 1960s and 1970s, Yusuf converted to Islam in 1977 and left the music industry. He has since become an advocate for peace and has worked to promote interfaith dialogue and understanding.
In the field of science, Dr. Raja Easa Al Gurg is an inspiring figure. She is the first Emirati woman to have a Ph.D. and has made significant contributions to the fields of healthcare and education in the UAE. She has also been a vocal advocate for women's empowerment and has worked to break down gender barriers in her country.
In the world of sports, Mohamed Salah, a professional footballer from Egypt, has become an icon for Muslims around the world. He has used his platform to speak out against racism and Islamophobia and has been an ambassador for Islamic values on and off the pitch.
The Halal Economy: A Growing Market
The Halal economy is a rapidly growing market that includes a wide range of products and services that comply with Islamic principles. The Halal market is estimated to be worth over $2.3 trillion, and it is expected to continue growing in the coming years.
Halal products include food and beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and financial services. These products are produced in accordance with Islamic dietary laws, which prohibit the consumption of pork and alcohol, and require that animals be slaughtered in a specific way.
In addition to catering to the needs of Muslim consumers, the Halal market also appeals to non-Muslims who are interested in ethical and sustainable products. Halal certification ensures that products are produced in a way that is environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
The Halal market has also created new opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Many companies have begun to specialize in Halal products and have seen significant success in the global marketplace.
Muslim Matters: Addressing the Issues Facing the Muslim Community
Muslim Matters is a platform that provides a voice for Muslims around the world. The website covers a wide range of issues that affect the Muslim community, including politics, social justice, and interfaith dialogue.
One of the most pressing issues facing the Muslim community today is Islamophobia. Muslim Matters has been a vocal advocate for combating Islamophobia and promoting understanding between different faith communities. The website has also provided a platform for Muslim activists and leaders to share their perspectives and experiences.
Another issue that Muslim Matters addresses is the representation of Muslims in the media. The website has worked to counter negative stereotypes and promote accurate and positive portrayals of Muslims in the media.
Muslim Matters also covers issues related to gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and mental health within the Muslim News Muslim community. By providing a platform for diverse perspectives, Muslim Matters is helping to create a more inclusive and compassionate community for Muslims around the world. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5251 | {"url": "https://andersonbxasq.digiblogbox.com/43060201/paving-the-way-for-positive-change-paving-the-way-for-positive-change", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "andersonbxasq.digiblogbox.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:37:17Z", "digest": "sha1:IGEK724DZHKML3DWZBKYNJ4F5WJBMA3O"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3980, 3980.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3980, 4645.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3980, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3980, 49.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3980, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3980, 78.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3980, 0.40559441]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3980, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3980, 0.08251834]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3980, 0.01772616]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3980, 0.01528117]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3980, 0.02139364]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3980, 0.01742054]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3980, 0.00559441]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3980, 0.1034965]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3980, 0.44617785]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3980, 5.10452418]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3980, 4.96758567]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3980, 641.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 426, 1.0], [426, 844, 1.0], [844, 1193, 1.0], [1193, 1524, 1.0], [1524, 1788, 1.0], [1788, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2081, 1.0], [2081, 2356, 1.0], [2356, 2638, 1.0], [2638, 2849, 1.0], [2849, 2915, 0.0], [2915, 3133, 1.0], [3133, 3468, 1.0], [3468, 3684, 1.0], [3684, 3980, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 426, 0.0], [426, 844, 0.0], [844, 1193, 0.0], [1193, 1524, 0.0], [1524, 1788, 0.0], [1788, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2081, 0.0], [2081, 2356, 0.0], [2356, 2638, 0.0], [2638, 2849, 0.0], [2849, 2915, 0.0], [2915, 3133, 0.0], [3133, 3468, 0.0], [3468, 3684, 0.0], [3684, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 70, 12.0], [70, 426, 61.0], [426, 844, 74.0], [844, 1193, 58.0], [1193, 1524, 60.0], [1524, 1788, 46.0], [1788, 1824, 6.0], [1824, 2081, 44.0], [2081, 2356, 39.0], [2356, 2638, 42.0], [2638, 2849, 31.0], [2849, 2915, 9.0], [2915, 3133, 34.0], [3133, 3468, 48.0], [3468, 3684, 33.0], [3684, 3980, 44.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 426, 0.0], [426, 844, 0.02444988], [844, 1193, 0.03508772], [1193, 1524, 0.0], [1524, 1788, 0.0], [1788, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2081, 0.00796813], [2081, 2356, 0.0], [2356, 2638, 0.0], [2638, 2849, 0.0], [2849, 2915, 0.0], [2915, 3133, 0.0], [3133, 3468, 0.0], [3468, 3684, 0.0], [3684, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 426, 0.0], [426, 844, 0.0], [844, 1193, 0.0], [1193, 1524, 0.0], [1524, 1788, 0.0], [1788, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2081, 0.0], [2081, 2356, 0.0], [2356, 2638, 0.0], [2638, 2849, 0.0], [2849, 2915, 0.0], [2915, 3133, 0.0], [3133, 3468, 0.0], [3468, 3684, 0.0], [3684, 3980, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 70, 0.11428571], [70, 426, 0.01404494], [426, 844, 0.02870813], [844, 1193, 0.0286533], [1193, 1524, 0.04229607], [1524, 1788, 0.03030303], [1788, 1824, 0.16666667], [1824, 2081, 0.01945525], [2081, 2356, 0.01090909], [2356, 2638, 0.0177305], [2638, 2849, 0.01895735], [2849, 2915, 0.10606061], [2915, 3133, 0.02293578], [3133, 3468, 0.0238806], [3468, 3684, 0.02777778], [3684, 3980, 0.0472973]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3980, 0.50998425]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3980, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3980, 0.74678814]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3980, -94.17725326]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3980, 81.14555438]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3980, 76.28119406]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3980, 36.0]]} |

Are there ANY ordinary people Ed Miliband hasn’t met? The Week.
By Annalisa Barbieri, September 24, 2013
ED MILIBAND walked onto the stage at the 2013 Labour Party conference wearing a new shirt so white it dazzled. He seemed relaxed and confident as he proceeded to deliver a speech of an hour’s duration with neither notes nor autocue.
He started as he largely went on, with anecdotes of the ordinary people he stresses he represents. We first heard about Ella Phillips whom he helped when she fell off her bike. He explained how she had called him suave and a super-hero, how she had said he was “actually quite attractive” in real life. This was goofy, and not in a good way. My fingernails dug into the palms of my hands.
Miliband seems to have met so many ordinary people, at one point I wondered if he was going to say he also works as a newspaper seller on a street corner. This was before I remembered that hardly anybody buys newspapers anymore.
There was Molly Roberts from Doncaster who asked how he could understand the needs of the people when he wasn’t brought up around there (when he became MP for Doncaster). Then there was a scaffolder who presumably shouted off his scaffolding and asked Miliband where his bodyguard was (answer: he doesn’t have one), which was a clumsy peg for talking about energy companies.
And there was a 17-year-old girl who had written to him about mental health issues. This latter segued into a mention of the NHS and how important – yet ignored – mental health issues were. It was a brave, brave move and a little part of me loved him for it.
It was also one of two parts of the speech it seemed no one was expecting (the other was that 16 and 17-year-olds should get the vote) and stunned the conference hall into hand-twiddling silence. As Miliband rightly said of mental health: “It’s an issue we all like to brush under the carpet”. I found myself wondering who he knew who has a mental health problem but applauding him talking about it.
There should have been more of that and less of what he knows will make good “pull quotes” because what I hate about public speeches is how manipulated I end up feeling. A bit like with music in films that tell you when to feel tense, when to cry. Thus it was that I became really annoyed with the chorus of “We’re Britain, we’re better than that” which was, supposedly, meant to see me air-punching. It didn’t, and Miliband used it at least 12 times too many.
At various points I thought he must have been watching the poet and spoken word artist Hollie McNish as he started riffing, almost rapping. “We’re working for harder for longer for less,” was one such.
He crammed everything into this speech – the only umms and ers came when he made a joke and over-egged it – but it was a bit too ‘tick box’, reminding me of people who send you 20 pictures of their dogs or children, when five hand-picked ones would have made more impact.
All the obvious poll winners were there, but some were rather glossed over. For example, he offered wraparound care for parents of school-aged children with breakfast clubs and after-school clubs, but made absolutely no mention of better and longer maternity packages. He talked about care for the elderly after talking about mental health, but made it sound as if all old people need is a grab rail installed in their house. Considering there are 10 million people over the age of 65 in the UK, all of whom can vote, this seemed a bit of an oversight.
The big question is not whether Miliband can give a good speech – he can, though it was 20 minutes too long – it’s whether he can win an election. More than once, he talked about the 1945 election in which the unassuming Clement Atlee won against the more charismatic Winston Churchill. I wondered if this was Miliband acknowledging that he knows he doesn’t have the political artistry of Blair, or even Cameron, but reassuring us that where it matters, he is headboy material.
Miliband always wears trousers that seem a bit too big for him: too long, too baggy, as if they belong to someone else. And all the way through his speech, I couldn’t help wondering if this was a metaphor for his entire political life. ·

PARALLELOGRAM

Well, if you're trying to fit it into a circular hole, I would have to say the Square, Rectangle and Parallelogram dont fit, but the circle does.

The circle does not fit because it is the only one which is not a parallelogram (in the broad sense), or even a quadrilateral (or even a polygon). However, you could also say that: - the parallelogram does not fit, because it is the only one without a symmetry axis. You could also consider the properties of the words themselves: - the parallelogram does not fit, because it is the only one with a double consonant in its name. - the parallelogram does not fit, because it is the only one without a "e" at the end of its name. - the parallelogram does not fit, because it is the only one with two "r"s in its name (instead of one). - the square does not fit, because it is the only one without a "l" in its name. - the circle does not fit, because it is the only one without a "a" in its name. - etc...
Circle, because it has no pointy things.

Eric Cantor says almost 50 percent of Americans don't pay income taxes
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has been unequivocal in demanding a "real" deficit reduction plan if House Republicans are to consider raising the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.
Cantor, R-7th District, recently appeared on CNBC’s "Squawk Box" to talk about various crises: namely the "debt crisis," the "spending crisis" and the overall fiscal crisis the nation might face if we don’t cut spending.
Entitlements must be addressed, said Cantor, who last month voted for a House Republican budget plan that would redesign Medicare and Medicaid. Cantor rejected increasing tax rates. But he acknowledged the need for a "pro-growth tax proposal" that would eliminate some special interest tax deductions and loopholes to modestly increase revenue.
"We also have a situation in this country where you're nearing 50 percent of people who don't even pay income taxes," he said.
Is it true that half of all Americans pay no income tax? Let’s take a look.
First, a technical note. When Cantor says people, he means "tax-filing units," which refers to individuals or couples that either file a tax return or would have if they had earned enough income, according to his staff.
To support his assertion, Cantor’s camp provided a variety of studies and media reports that do indicate about 50 percent of U.S. households owed no federal income tax in 2009 -- the most recent year tax data are available.
In 2009, for example, the Tax Policy Center projected 47 percent of people would pay no income tax that year, up from previous estimates of 38 percent -- largely due to additional tax credits through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009.
Still, that’s a bit dated. Anything newer?
The Joint Committee on Taxation, sent a letter to Congress on the matter only days after Cantor’s "Squawk Box" appearance.
Using 2009 tax data, the committee estimated that slightly more than 50 percent of tax-filing units actually paid no income tax.
"In summary, for tax year 2009, approximately 22 percent of all tax units, including filers and non filers, will have zero income tax liability, approximately 30 percent will receive a refundable tax credit, and approximately 49 percent will have a positive income tax liability," the letter reads.
"That’s consistent with the numbers we’ve come up with," said Roberton Williams with the Tax Policy Center.
"The main reason is the fact that we don’t specifically use the tax system to collect taxes; we use it for tax collections and to deliver social policy," he said. "Because of that we end up giving people money that could be provided to them through spending programs."
But because the U.S. uses the tax system to distribute money, it reduces the tax liability for 51 percent of tax filing units to, or below, zero.
Williams said that’s largely due to popular tax breaks, or tax expenditures.
"There are lots and lots of them. We estimate they total more than a trillion dollars a year in reduced taxes and in fact the bulk of those go to the top end of the income distribution," he said.
Even so, because high earners have so much income liability, the breaks still don’t bring them down to zero. But popular lower and middle income breaks like earned income tax credits, child credits and mortgage interest deductions do get a majority of the population off the hook.
So let’s look back.
Cantor acknowledged the need for eliminating certain tax loopholes and deductions while also pointing out that "we also have a situation in this country where you're nearing 50 percent of people who don't even pay income taxes."
Not only are we nearing that situation, but as the Joint Committee on Taxation pointed out shortly after Cantor’s statement, we moved beyond it. So we find the Majority Leader’s statement True.

A Brief Visit from an Old Nemesis

Last night I snuggled in and turned on the TV for my Sunday drool fest of watching Bill Paxton in Big Love. About half-way through I found my stomach not feeling so hot. I tried to ignore it and follow the plot, but it got stronger and stronger. Dagnamit! I think I am getting what my two petri dishes had the latter part of the week!
I finished the show and headed upstairs and went to bed. I laid there negotiating with my new visitor, but old nemesis, Linda Blair who was sitting on my bed, that since I had hyperemesis (extreme morning sickness) during both of my pregnancies for a combined 50 plus weeks that I paid my dues of having stomach ailments and that she needs to move along to another house, preferably to the a-hole that cut me off in the rain driving like a jackalope.
She stayed and proceeded to move closer and closer to me. I practiced meditating (that by the way is a total crock and don’t waste your time), breathed through the nausea and prayed that I was not going to be reliving the wonderful Sunday dinner I made that night.
Now she is sitting on top of me, just like she did when I was pregnant! I am sweating, the room is spinning and my stomach is on fire, but I am determined I am not going to toss my cookies. That only pissed her off and now she has somehow managed to reach in and twist my insides and jump up and down on my stomach at the same time. ” Uncle! Uncle!”, I screamed as I sprinted to the bathroom and . . . I don’t need to get that graphic, you all get what just happened.
That whole scenario went on four more times until the around 4 am. Finally Linda Blair lost interests in me and headed off to bother some other petri dish infected house or newly pregnant woman.
I laid there exhausted and a little traumatized that I did this day in and day out 24-hours a day for weeks months on end and one of the pregnancies I was caring for an infant/toddler without help outside of the hubs that had to work everyday and leave me with that wretched Linda Blair, my IV bag and my infant who turned into a toddler while I was still going through it. I found out this morning, the hubs laid there traumatized reliving our hell in his head too.
This morning when I woke up I had that same stomach flu nausea feeling that set the pace for each and every waking minute of my day while incubating my two kids. With two miscarriages with no symptoms of being pregnant, I knew both times with my two viable pregnancies that they were sticking by how sick I was. I had a moment of confusion and can I say dispair, was I pregnant again? That can’t be, I shut the plant down during the birth of PD2!
Borrowed from blog buddy,Your Personal Super Hero!
I looked at the bottom of my bed and she was not there, Linda Blair that is. Oh, thank God! I am at the tail end of the stomach flu! I got up, got dressed and forced myself down stairs and started my day and even mopped my floors.
I feel pretty crappy and my stomach is pretty unhappy, but hey, I not only survived Linda Blair last night, but I survived her for over a year and half of my life with both pregnancies combined. Nothing could ever be that bad, so Linda Blair may of won last night, but she is not going to win today!
Free 2 Work!

I have a good friend that has humanitarian as part of her DNA. She is a child psychologist that focuses on PTSD in children and young adults. She has led teams to Shir Lanka 6 weeks post the devastating tsunami and then did follow-up six months later. She has traveled the world working with oppressed and traumatized people. Recently she headed off to South East Asia to work with orphanages and safe havens for those that are fighting to stay off the radar of human trafficking and sold into sex and other forms of slavery. This developed a passion that she is taking on and doing something about.
Currently she is trying to raise around 40k to build a safe haven for those that have their mark on them to be sold into the sex industry of South East Asia. This is a place where these kids will live, grow up and be educated and protected from those, mostly family members, from being auctioned off for pennies on the dollar to be prostituted out at young as the age of five.
Unfortunately, it does not just stop in the remote parts of the world. It is here in the US in a very serious way. There is a big question of the millions of illegals that are in the this nation, how many are here against their will with death threats to themselves and their families if they do not comply with those that they fell into the hand of for trafficking and slavery. There have been several sting operations that have been successful in my county alone within “massage” parlors and drug houses that is clear evidence that this is happening here on our soil.
It just does not stop there with the US and the world having some responsibility in this issue. Companies that take their business overseas or across the border for a higher profit are not holding up their end of the deal on ensuring a realistic work environment that ensures safety and humane working conditions. They are not holding up their end of the deal to ensure that children are not being born into indentured families and having to work in insane work environments as early as the age of five or seven years of age.
Free 2 Work is an organization that is slowly setting up a resource for consumers to be able to make informed decisions on the products they are chosing to buy and be able to boycott the ones that are not holding up their end of the deal of ensuring safety and humane treatment of the people who make or are a part of the manufacturing of that product. It is graded from A-F on the US standards of manufacturing. Obviously we can’t hold other countries to our standards, we can’t even do that without killing the profits of a company (that why is we send a vast majority overseas or across the border to be manufactured). However, this website seems to be realistic in the fact that an A to a C- rating are companies that we can still do business with. Those lower than that, need to get their act together and stop looking away from crimes on humanity.
They have developed an application for your smart phone where you can scan an item and get a rating, that can help with making informed choices and not being part of enabling companies being able to profit and get away with bad horrifing business practices.
This is something we all should think about; it is our fiduciary responsibility as consumers to think about it. If you knew for a fact that the shirt or sneakers you are wearing were made by a child that was 5 years old or anyone of any age for that matter, working 16-18 hours a day, never seeing the light of day, beaten, on machinery that exposes to radiation and/or no safety guards in place where there are daily amputees and serious injuries would you really want to support a company’s profits and wear that?
Learning about this has changed our household and how we look at products before we buy them. I wanted to get a Leap Frog toy for my child, and I will not now that I know they have a D- rating. I love Carter’s children’s clothing, especially their jammies, but they get an F because they will not respond or communicate their business practices (which means they don’t feel they have a responsibility to be transparent to the consumer providing them their profits).
Free 2 Work is a good starting point on trying to make a difference in how consumers of the world hold companies accountable to just being humane.

Today is Veteran’s Day and since I am a daughter of a Vietnam Vet, I sit and really think about this day and what we are truly observing. I will never fully understand what the Veterans of this nation from any war has gone through and are currently going through, but I have a compassion and honor towards each and every one of them. The below post is a piece of something I have been working on for over ten years. It is the birth of a book.
I remember walking in the cold and rain past the Korean War Memorial and its frozen majestic metal soldiers. The dogwoods were in bloom and blossoms were falling with the steady sprinkle of the rain. I caught one in mid-air before it could reach its final resting place; it was delicate and perfect. I placed it behind my ear under my hood and continued on my journey. My purpose was to pay respects to a man who had fought for this country beside my father.
As I made my way up the sidewalk I saw a black structure ahead. It seemed to grow in size as I drew closer, and suddenly I was enveloped in an ocean of black stone walls with numberless engravings. I was unprepared for this; I had heard that The Wall was big, but that was a gross understatement. I had no idea where to start among the many flags, flowers, family pictures, unopened letters, and poems left at the base of The Wall. Then I noticed a kiosk a few feet away where there were directories. I flipped through one as if I were trying to look up the local pizza parlor. Eventually, I found the name and location code. I was on a mission, still very detached from what I was doing; it was exactly like solving a puzzle.
As I walked down the sloping sidewalk, the wall seemed to grow even larger and the engravings became recognizable as individual names. My heart beat faster; I felt hot and sweaty beneath my raincoat and my throat tightened. I was beginning to understand that this was not just one of the many tourist attractions of the Nation’s Capitol, but was instead a horrifying reminder amidst this beautiful setting of manicured dogwood parks, majestic granite, and immaculate walkways; a perfectly evanescent of Viet-Nam.
I could not grasp the sheer number of names on that Wall. It seemed to go on forever, with each name representing a family, a wife, a lover, a friend, a son, an enemy never reconciled with… but most of all a life never truly lived unto its fullest. How did this happen? How did it get so far out of hand? Those were the questions that ran through my mind as I finally found the name for which I was searching. It was too high for me to reach; I found a step stool provided by the groundskeepers, pulled out a pencil and a scrap of paper and began taking an impression (never suspecting that when this mere scrap of paper, when presented to my father, would cause him to fall on his knees and weep as no one had ever seen before).
As I rubbed, I began thinking about his family and those who survived him. How they must have felt so robbed and betrayed by death, the Government, and the senseless war he fought. He was very young — in his prime — and it never should have happened. It never should have happened to any of them.
I left the dogwood blossom that I had caught earlier on the ground just beneath his name, and an undeniable truth suddenly occurred to me: The Wall is not big enough… it is missing numberless names, and for countless reasons! Most particularly, the names of the survivors with whom these men and women took their last breaths. My father is one such survivor. The guilt that he bears on that account is just another death sentence awaiting execution at any time. He is only the least bit better off than those veterans who have lost their minds, their self-respect, and who sit outside the local grocery store hoping for a handout. Likewise the veterans who didn’t make it even a decade past the war, whether death was by their own hand, or drugs, or alcohol, or violence. And you must include the veterans who cannot cope without substance abuse or some toxic relationship to dull their pain. Their widows, their ex-wives, their estranged family members, their forgotten high school classmates, their neglected children who forfeited childhood because their fathers lost all enthusiasm, compassion, understanding, and their once responsible outlook on life… they must be included in the list of casualties.
At that moment, standing in the rain and looking at my reflection in The Wall, the child of a Vietnam veteran, I knew that this Wall did not only memorialize the tragedies of those engraved upon it. I realized that this Wall was only prologue to another war that will be fought for generations yet to come. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5257 | {"url":

Biden should not visit Saudi Arabia, meet crown prince, Democratic Rep. Schiff says
Posted: Sunday 06.05.2022 2:00 pm Revised: Monday 06.06.2022 2:00 pm The Arab American News U.S.A, World
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Biden should not visit Saudi Arabia or meet its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who approved an operation to capture or kill murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to U.S. intelligence, a leading Democratic lawmaker said on Sunday.
Khashoggi, a U.S. resident who wrote opinion columns for the Washington Post critical of the prince’s policies, was killed and dismembered in 2018 by operatives linked to the prince in the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul.
Asked if Biden, who on Friday acknowledged the possibility he may visit Saudi Arabia soon, should go to the oil exporter and meet the crown prince, its de facto ruler, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said, “In my view, no.
“I wouldn’t go. I wouldn’t shake his hand. This is someone who butchered an American resident, cut him up into pieces and in the most terrible and premeditated way,” Schiff, who chairs the House of Representatives intelligence committee, told CBS’s “Face the Nation” program.

Saudi Arabia has denied any involvement by the crown prince in the killing and rejected a February 2021 U.S. intelligence report that assessed that he “approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill” Khashoggi.
“Until Saudi Arabia makes a radical change in terms of (its) human rights, I wouldn’t want anything to do with him,” Schiff said of the crown prince, often called MBS.
He also rejected arguments that Biden should visit Saudi Arabia to try to get it to increase oil production and lower U.S. gasoline prices, a problem for Biden and his fellow Democrats ahead of the November midterm congressional elections.
While saying he understood Saudi influence over oil prices, Schiff said he viewed that as “a compelling argument” for the United States to wean itself off oil “so we don’t have despots and murderers calling the shots.”

Faroe Islands Education Centre
The new Education Centre in Marknagil is situated on a hillside on the outskirts of Torshavn, to serve as a base for coordination and future development of all educational programmes in the region. As the largest educational building project in the countrys history, the institution combines Faroe Islands Gymnasium, Torshavns Technical College and Business College of Faroe Islands in one building, housing 1.200 students and 300 teachers.
Located on a hillside, 100 m above the sea level with a panoramic view overlooking the sea, mountains and harbor of Torshavn, the project is designed as a vortex, radiating out towards its surroundings while at the same time focusing in on the schools inner landscape for learning the lessons of life. Each institution is organized as a school in a school with ideal conditions for each, while creating a sense of community for learning and life. The generous surroundings provide unique opportunities to shape the school from the inside out as a functional sculpture formed by the schools internal needs.
Each school will function independently comprising the space it requires with room to grow in the future. Additionally by combining the three schools under one roof they will create the synergetic effect of a vertical campus. At the schools heart is an open rotunda space, creating a natural gathering point across floor levels and academic interests. A stepped interior reflects the undulating Faroese landscape with its alternating plateaus, stairwells and terraces serving different social and academic activities.

Edward Ford Plate Glass Company
Existence: 1899 (date of establishment) - 1930 (date of merger with Libbey-Owens Sheet Glass Company) - 1930
During the 1860s entrepreneur John B. Ford developed interest in an area of glass manufacturing where no American glass company had gone before: plate glass. In the United States at the time of the 1860s all polished plate glass was being imported from Europe. There was neither equipment nor skilled technicians in the U.S. to produce plate glass. Captain Ford, aware of the competition in glass bottle and window production, made the move to import plate glass making equipment and technicians from Europe.
In 1869 the first American plate glass factory was established by John B. Ford in New Albany Indiana, with help from his sons Emory and Edward. In 1880, the two Ford sons built a plate glass factory in Creighton Pennsylvania. This plate glass factory was reorganized and renamed as the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. After John B. Ford sold his interest in Pittsburgh Plate Glass in 1897, Edward Ford founded the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company in Rossford, Ohio in 1899. The Edward Ford Plate Glass Company was producing roughly one fifth of all the plate glass in the U.S. by the time of Edward’s death in 1920. Edward operated the factory until his death.
In 1930, the company merged with two other great glassmaking companies: Libbey and Owens. Edward Libbey founder of the Libbey Glass Company, and Michael J. Owens of the Owen Bottle Company had already formed a partnership as the Libbey–Owens Sheet Glass Company. The three companies came together to form the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company, one of the largest glass manufacturers in the world. Today the company is part of Pilkington North America.

Our mission is to provide an ethical choice for improving the lives of artisans and producers in Nepal, while enriching the lives of local consumers with quality and sustainable products.
Ark was born in 1985 when Noah our founder took a break from his University studies to do some soul searching and backpacking in Nepal. He became enamoured with the unique style of clothing, accessories and housewares he saw in the streets of Kathmandu and wanted to bring them back home to Canada. He began importing shortly after and he's been doing it ever since.
Responsible and ethical practices have been a part of our ethos from the very beginning. Our manufacturers and suppliers overseas often refer to Noah as "half hippie, half businessman" because he never put profit above the welfare of any of our artisans and producers. It has always been important to him that anyone who works for Ark has safe working conditions and equitable wages. For the past 38 years Noah has personally travelled to Nepal twice a year and visited our artisans, producers and manufacturers to connect with them and ensure that their working conditions are safe. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5264 | {"url": "https://arkfairtrade.com/pages/our-story", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "arkfairtrade.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:43:47Z", "digest": "sha1:TZLEQQ65CAERMEA2HTRSI4YPVRLVRCV3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1138, 1138.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1138, 10412.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1138, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1138, 433.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1138, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1138, 229.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1138, 0.47115385]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1138, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1138, 0.01716738]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1138, 0.02145923]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1138, 0.08173077]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1138, 0.625]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1138, 4.85416667]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1138, 4.50040375]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1138, 192.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 188, 1.0], [188, 555, 1.0], [555, 1138, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 188, 0.0], [188, 555, 0.0], [555, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 188, 30.0], [188, 555, 65.0], [555, 1138, 97.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 188, 0.0], [188, 555, 0.01108033], [555, 1138, 0.00347826]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 188, 0.0], [188, 555, 0.0], [555, 1138, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 188, 0.0106383], [188, 555, 0.02179837], [555, 1138, 0.01372213]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1138, 0.39630979]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1138, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1138, 0.08482331]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1138, 11.75361732]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1138, 24.53211211]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1138, -3.12729384]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1138, 8.0]]} |
Climbing the Mountain: Cengiz Çandar and Ted Bogosian will share with us their personal journeys
Civilitas Foundation
Armenian and Turkish societies still perceive each other either solely through the prism of history, or based on myths and lack of knowledge.
Any cross-border dialogue that takes place is limited to a recurring group of a few hundred individuals. Their relationship and discussions are not amplified among the respective publics.
This program places a pair of individuals, one from each society, to engage in a moderated conversation about their “personal journeys” dealing with historic and political tensions and their own views on the way forward.
Ted Bogosian is an American-born documentary filmmaker. He traveled to Mardin 25 years ago to prepare the documentary, AN ARMENIAN JOURNEY.
Cengiz Çandar is a journalist and public intellectual, a personal friend of Hrant Dink, and a consistent civic voice advocating more open exploration of the past and consideration for the future. He has lived and worked in Lebanon and is familiar with Armenian Diaspora sentiments.

Detroit store owners provide space for artists to sell their work
When all of the art fairs and showcases were canceled during the coronavirus pandemic, three Detroit women decided to create the Leaf and Blossom store, which serves as a space for artists to sell their artwork and products.
Mother and daughter Lillian Li and Victoria Li, both of Grosse Pointe Shores, along with their friend, Maggie Mazzara, of Grosse Pointe Woods, are all local artists. They opened Leaf and Blossom, which also is a place for the public to participate in art classes. In the store, you can find anything from handmade birdhouses to photography, and even get a tarot card reading while you’re there.
“I kind of figured — well, what if I do something that I like to do and have my own store,” said Victoria Li. “I originally was just going to sell tea, since I was a tea blender. But then we came across Maggie, and Maggie introduced the art part of it as well. So it just became this giant store idea of helping other artists promote their art and also help them push forward in this really difficult time.”
There are 26 other artists who sell their work in the store. The bright green space is located at 14832 Kercheval Ave., in Detroit, and the owners say the store brings in Grosse Pointe Park and Detroit residents, since the space is near the two cities.
“It was the perfect fit for our neighborhood,” said Lillian Li. “It was so important to make sure that we engage the artists in the community to be a part of our store.”
They also expanded outdoors and started a community garden for children.
“We want children to be engaged in art and I feel like art is this lost thing in schools,” said Lillian Li. “For us, we feel art is an essential part of somebody’s growth as a person. … It was a matter of making sure kids knew that art is something that comes in all different realms that they can enjoy.”
Like many other businesses in the last three weeks, Leaf and Blossom experienced flooding, which has created a few struggles. But they’re still pushing forward to support the artists who sell their work in the space.
Even though art fairs and showcases are returning, like the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, which took place last weekend, the effort put into working at the fairs is a lot to Dustin Waldo of Harper Woods, an artist who sells his artwork in Leaf and Blossom.
“When you do an art or craft show at a location …,” said Waldo, “first, you’ve got to pay like $100. You’ve got to come with your own tent, your own table and your own chairs. And you’re kind of committed to stay there because you can’t leave until the event is over.”
With Leaf and Blossom, “it’s perfect, it’s wonderful. I don’t have to sit in a chair for 12 hours in the sun or the pouring rain.”
At All Things Marketplace, a store in Detroit’s Corktown, owner Jennyfer Crawford, 41, spends much of her time hosting large events that before the pandemic would typically bring 14,000 people to shop in partnership with local businesses. Crawford, a Detroiter, also is the creator of the company Ask Jennyfer, which provides consultations and platforms for small businesses, and All Things Detroit marketplace at Eastern Market. She is known for curating a few markets in downtown Detroit, as well.
“During COVID, there were a few businesses that were really slammed with a lot of orders,” Crawford said. “(After) having to cancel an event two weeks prior to … the shutdown, I started to ship packages and assist (businesses) with shipping packages. While I was helping them ship packages, I’m like, ‘OK, I have an online platform. How can I transform our online platform to help the businesses with shipping and fulfillment during this process?’ “
She reached out to Build Institute, a center for business development. She now uses their pilot space for her All Things Marketplace store and shipping center, which is located at 1620 Michigan Ave., in suite 120 off Trumbull in Detroit. The store, which opened in November, sells artwork and apparel created by 37 local businesses.
“By (businesses) giving us the products, I think it was a way that they didn’t have to worry about it,” Crawford said. “It was pretty easy for them to give us their products and for us to sell them and ship them out.”
“This space has … opened it up, where they can send someone to a location. Some people really like to ship in person, so they can touch it, they can smell it, they can see it. By the small businesses not having brick-and-mortars, us having this space as a hub for them — not only for shopping, but also for shipping and fulfillment — has really been a success.”

The store is set to launch a new website this week and it is also expanding to a new store soon.
Spaces to sell artwork is a necessity
Art fairs and craft showcases bring people from all over the country together to support artists, view their artwork and possibly leave with a few items. But the pandemic caused art shows and showcases to come to a halt and many artists didn’t know what to do.
Artists and craftspeople moved toward e-commerce websites, like Etsy, to sell their work. Others opened stores and collective spaces, like Leaf and Blossom and All Things Marketplace, which have both online and in-person experiences to meet people where they’re at.
Shoppers returning to things they love as coronavirus restrictions are being lifted are looking for multisensory experiences at art events, said Julie Sailus, owner of Disco Walls in Hamtramck, which is a creative space for live performances, photographers and artists to use.
Sailus said that many Detroit-based artists didn’t know how to market themselves prior to the pandemic. They had had to learn how to get comfortable with online sales and marketing on social media. And now, the community is looking for more in their art experiences.
“I think it was bad for people that weren’t ready to make the change,” Sailus said. “But I think it was good because people leveled up on some stuff and got really good with their online presence and the way they were marketing themselves. … It definitely was a huge shock to anybody in the art community. I was booking galleries before COVID and it just kind of stopped. It was really depressing.”
Art fairs and showcases are returning, and Sailus said she believes artists will continue to make sales and connections online. She also thinks the popularity and demand for collective spaces, galleries and pop-up shops will keep growing.
“I definitely feel there’s quite a bit where people are trying to do art fairs, but they’re not always promoting them the best,” Sailus said. “That’s why I think some of these groups that are doing these events, it’s basically turning into the local neighborhood coming to support, but that’s not always going to be the group that buys that artist’s art. The artists, at the end of the day, want people to see their art, but they want sales.”

“Clocks slay time; time is dead as if clicked off by little wheels, only when the clock stops does time come to life.” ~ William Faulkner
Time is an amazing concept, isn’t it? We chase time. We run away from time. Moments tick by so quickly these days, especially if you have children, there are moments when we wish we had the power to make time stand still. Perhaps what I love about writing historical fiction is that I can make time stand still. Even better, I can transport my readers to another time, another place. And that is what WHISPER IN THE WIND is about.
Earlier this week, I announced on Facebook that my Historical Romantic Time Travel titled WHISPER IN THE WIND had been released in Kindle format. A few hours later, I received notification that it had made the Top 100 Best Seller List for Time Travel in Digital format on Amazon. Of course, the numbers and ranking change moment-to-moment, but to see the response it had already received in such a short time was amazing. And I hope after you’ve read this post, you will want to read WHISPER IN THE WIND, too.
WHISPER IN THE WIND is the first book in the Windswept Texas Romance series. It is the story of Molly Magee, a 21st century young woman and Jordan Blake, a former Texas Ranger and Pinkerton detective from the late 19th century. Yet, as the tag line for this book states, “Sometimes finding the love of your life is often just a matter of…Time.”
Here is the ‘blurb’ or description of the book from the back cover:
When Molly Magee is suddenly swept back in time, she finds herself in the Old West with gunslingers, high stakes gamblers, Victorian ideology toward women, and a Pinkerton detective named Jordan Blake. As she tries to understand what happened to her and find a way home, danger seems to follow her at every turn. Survival is a daily challenge, but it’s a hundred times worse when–to avoid answering questions from a persistent and seductive Pinkerton–she fakes amnesia. She soon realizes the biggest threat of all is the one Jordan Blake poses to her heart.
Jordan Blake has lost everyone he’s ever loved. As a Texas Ranger turned Pinkerton detective, Jordan has become a cynic about people and justice, and is ready to walk away from a life that has lost its meaning. He never knew that a prayer whispered in the wind would bring him an angel of mercy, and a love he’d never hoped to find.
From the open splendor of 1885 Texas to dark decadence and murder in New Orleans, Molly and Jordan learn that when fate takes a hand, finding the love of your life is often just a matter of…Time.
WHISPER IN THE WIND is a sensuous, unforgettable Historical Romance Time Travel. Now available at a special introductory price of $3.99 in digital format for Kindle. The EPUB version is also available on Nook.
With a stunning cover by Ramona Lockwood, beautiful interior illustrations by Elissa Marie, and a compelling, passionate love story that I believe will touch your heart.

**A PEEK INSIDE THE PAGES!**
With a sigh of frustration, Molly marched down the street. Stopping short, she turned to find him close at her heels. “Let me tell you something, Mr. Detective. Just because I had a weak moment this morning doesn’t make me a floozy. You know absolutely nothing about me, so stop assuming you do.”
“Did I say you were a floozy?” he asked in a low voice.
“Well, no.”
“No,” he repeated then shook his head. “I’m trying real hard to understand, Molly. You tell me you’ve lost your memory. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my doubts about that. I’ll just have to take your word for it. But what I do know is you’re scared. And it would be easier for me to help you, if you told me why.”
Tears blurred Molly’s vision. “Let’s see. I’m in a strange place. I have no family, no home, and no income. It’s probably over a hundred degrees out today, and I feel like I’m wearing thirty pounds of clothing which, by the way, just happens to be twenty years out of date. The sheriff could care less if I live or die. And…well…as grateful as I am that you want to help me, you have a job and, like you said, your next assignment could come anytime. I need to be able to survive on my own and time isn’t on my side. So, yes, Jordan, I’m scared.”
He said nothing, but kindness and concern returned full force to his eyes and proved her undoing.
God, help me, I could fall in love with Jordan Blake all too easily.
The realization hit hard. She’d spent a lifetime dreaming about a man like Jordan Blake—strong, handsome, and solid as an oak. The kind of man you could depend on through thick and thin, loyal and true, compassionate toward those in need and willing to give his last dime if you needed it. He was also sexy as hell.
“Molly, I know what it’s like to be lost and need a friend as if your life depends on it.”
“You do?”
“Let’s just say someone helped me a long time ago.” A faint smile touched his emerald green eyes. “And if it hadn’t been for that person, I wouldn’t be here today.”
His eye color darkened, as if the memory still haunted him. Perhaps that was what they had in common. Painful, private secrets. Memories of a past that now shadowed their lives.
After a moment more of awkward silence, Jordan gruffly cleared his throat and looked up at the sky. “You’re sure right about this heat. It’s hot as Hades today. Let’s get you a room and some practical clothing. Then, we’ll see about finding you work.”
“I can’t let you do that.”
“I can.” He took hold of her elbow.
She refused to budge. “Jordan, I don’t want to embarrass you but, well, I know why you only had coffee for breakfast this morning. It was because you didn’t have enough money to buy a meal for both of us. Granted, I don’t know what a Pinkerton earns, but it can’t be that much. You’ve got expenses of your own. And, on top of everything else, we both know it isn’t proper.”
Seductive warmth shined in his eyes; in fact, they almost twinkled down at her. “Molly, for your information, I drank about two quarts of rotgut whiskey yesterday. Black coffee was just fine with both me and my belly. And as for things not being proper, well, the way I see it—you and I have been nothing but improper with one another from the moment we met.”
“I know, but—”
He put a finger on her lips to silence her. “I’m not some dirt poor cowboy, sugar.” Leaning down he whispered in what sounded like an authentic and very formal British accent. “Indeed, my dear Miss Magee, I am exceedingly wealthy.”
She frowned. “What happened to your Texas drawl?”
A slow grin curved his lips, the deep dimple on his left cheek more pronounced than ever.
“Does that mean you’re not going to tell me?”
The mischievous way he looked at her made her stomach flip-flop. For a moment she thought he might even kiss her. Instead, he leaned forward and whispered against her ear. “I’ll tell you my past when you tell me yours.”
Thanks for stopping by, everyone. And I hope you’ll take the time to check out WHISPER IN THE WIND today. ~ AKB | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5267 | {"url": "https://ashleykathbilsky.com/tag/best-seller-uk/", "partition":

The Arab Spring from Iran’s perspective
By Admin Aspenia On Jul 25, 2011
Ever since the revolutionary advent of its Islamic government, Iran has aspired to spread its worldview across the Islamic world, but first and foremost across Arab lands. The hope was to establish Iranian hegemony in the Gulf, foster Shi’a ascendancy across the Sunni world, and gain the leadership of an anti-American, anti-Western and anti-imperialist struggle. Yet for all its efforts to export its combustible blend of the subversive and the divine, in the three decades of its existence, the Islamic Republic of Iran has only had limited successes – it has established a firm foothold in Lebanon; it has become the chief sponsor of resistance movements in Gaza and the West Bank; and it has cemented strategic relations with Syria, the last Arab nationalist government of the region, and Sudan. Across the region, US backed regimes resisted and effectively repressed Islamic movements’ efforts to seize power; and countries formerly aligned with the Soviet Union have gradually edged closer to the US. In short, before 2011, Iran’s ambition to export its revolution failed to materialize. In fact, for several months between June 2009 and February 2010, it almost appeared as if a popular uprising might unseat Iran’s clerical regime and establish democracy in Iran.
By the time Arab protesters took to the streets in Tunis, Cairo, Manama and other capitals across the region, Iran had managed to crush its internal opposition and neutralize its challenge to Islamic governance. What Iranian regional subversion and support for Islamic movements had failed to achieve in three decades, people power now appeared set to do – topple the hated monarchies and the other rulers and replace them with regimes potentially friendlier to Islamic forces and more hostile to American interests.
While the score board is by no means all in Tehran’s favor, the turmoil currently engulfing the region has created more opportunities than challenges for Iran. For the first time in thirty years, Iran sees a chance to reduce American influence significantly as the rise of Islamic forces closer to Iran’s worldview and foreign policy ambitions is now a distinct possibility.
The Arab Spring has significantly affected only six countries so far – Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya and Syria – albeit in very different ways. All other Gulf, Levant and North African countries experienced only limited upheaval, were able to quell it or pre-empt it through a mixture of repression, reform and cash handouts. Though change is still a distinct possibility, in places like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Algeria or Morocco, unrest has not significantly influenced the course of foreign policy. Elsewhere however, popular stirrings have either undermined traditional US allies (Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen) or strengthened Islamic forces (Egypt, Tunisia and possibly Libya) and only in one case they have clearly cornered an Iranian proxy (Syria).
People-power enthusiasts have emphasized the analogy between Eastern Europe in 1989 and the Arab Spring, forgetting three important differences: first, the hated superpower behind the regimes that protesters wished to oust, in five out of six cases, were Western democracies (Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Yemen), not their ideological adversary; secondly, Western liberal democracy is not the universally shared aspiration of protesters – in the Arab world, Islamism remains still by and large the strongest, longest standing and best organized opposition force (and idea) and one whose political model was not yet tested (with the notable exceptions of Afghanistan, Iran and Sudan notwithstanding due to historical and cultural reasons). And thirdly, the highly segmented ethnic and religious mosaic of some of these societies further complicates matters. In places like Bahrain, Libya, Syria or Yemen, turmoil could lead to disintegration and chaos rather than regime change and transition to democracy – more like Yugoslavia in 1991 and Iraq in 2003, less like Czechoslovakia in 1989 and 1992.
These differences create opportunities for Iran.
Despite the much touted Sunni-Shi’a divide, Iran has much to gain in electoral victories for Islamic forces in upcoming elections in Egypt and Tunisia, given their readiness to shift their countries’ foreign policy towards a less pro-Western and more Non-Aligned Movement worldview. A shift in Egypt may mean a major crack in the loose regional alliance against Iran – and the current state of lawlessness in Egypt-nominally controlled Sinai has already enabled Iran to increase its military support to Hamas in the Gaza strip, both qualitatively and quantitatively. A move away from secularism and a pro-Western foreign policy in Tunisia also bodes well for Iran. And finally, while Libya has little strategic significance for Iran, there are three remarkable advantages for Iran.
The first is the distraction caused by the Libya crisis for Western foreign policy establishments; the second is the damage to the image of the West as a superior military power, as NATO takes months to defeat a vastly inferior force armed with Soviet-era obsolete weapons and largely cut off from supply lines; and the third is the lesson for nuclear negotiations that can be drawn from the Libya experience. After all, Libya’s dictator, Muammar Gheddafi, had won friendship in Western capitals thanks to his decision to renounce his nuclear weapons program in 2004. The nuclear deal did not save him, ultimately (at least from a military operation whose outcome is uncertain to this day). In any case, the Libya precedent is now a vindication of Iran’s intransigent posture in its nuclear negotiations with the West.
Events in Bahrain, by contrast, offer a mixed bag for Tehran. Iran benefited in two ways. First, the accusations against the Shi’a opposition of conniving with Iran were used as a trigger for repression and Saudi military intervention, but may end up radicalizing a Shi’a population whose grievances were genuine and whose demands were reasonable. Secondly, the resulting rift between Saudi Arabia and the US which resulted – and which was compounded by Saudi anger at the US for its treatment of Egyptian former president, Hosni Mubarak – has convinced the Saudis that the US umbrella may no longer be a sufficient guarantee to the monarchy’s survival. The consequence is not just the newly found assertiveness that led Saudi troops into Pearl Square, but also a readiness to find an accommodation with Iran over Iraq (as the US troop withdrawal looms) and other regional disputes.
There have been drawbacks too. Tensions in Bahrain may have radicalized the opposition, but the popular uprising’s failure to gain a solid foothold in the island and Iran’s acquiescence to Saudi military intervention have damaged Iran’s standing among the Gulf’s Shi’a minorities, as they highlighted Iran’s inability to come to the rescue of its natural allies in the Gulf.
In Syria the jury is still out but Iran’s reported active involvement in helping Damascus quell the revolt is proof of the high stakes involved. A defeat of the ruling Assad dynasty and the potential descent of the country into civil war would permanently remove Iran’s most important, longest-standing and most reliable ally from Iran’s sphere of influence. A collapse of the regime in Damascus would have negative repercussions for Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, Iran’s proxies in the Palestinian territories. If nothing else, it would deprive Iran of a contiguous border with its ideological bane, Israel, and an ability to wage war against its Zionist nemesis in conventional ways. A Syrian civil war along sectarian lines could spill over into Turkey, a country whose government has invested significant political capital to improve relations with Tehran and who is now slowly recognizing the downside of sacrificing its friendship with Israel and the West in favor of good relations with Syria and Iran.
On the other hand, the descent of some Arab countries into ethnic slaughter could offer Iran an opportunity to intervene on the side of those forces that are likelier to share Tehran’s interests – Shi’a minorities and Islamic movements and, in places like Yemen, undermine America’s influence and presence.
The Arab Spring is by no means a uniform phenomenon. It is still in its early phases and it will most likely become even more diverse in its manifestations and outcomes from country to country. For Iran, there is a clear benefit in seeing Egypt open the door to an Islamic presence in government and realign its foreign policy to reflect a less pro-Western stance than during the Mubarak era. There is an opportunity across the region as timid reforms and freer elections may give Islamic forces a chance to rise to power and change the course of their countries. And there is a hope that new governments will realign their foreign policy – thereby reducing American influence – to placate the strong anti-American sentiment that still looms large in the Arab world. But there are also dangers – and the loss of Syria would, above all, cause the most significant setback to Iranian regional ambitions in the last three decades.
Western policy makers should therefore take notice.
The speed by which Mubarak, America’s longest serving ally in the region, was abandoned in favor of the unknown contrasts significantly with the hesitancy shown later by Western powers to help Syrian protesters remove Bashar al Assad from power. Yet, Western interests would have been served by precisely the opposite approach – one where allies were gently forced to pilot gradual democratic transitions while adversaries were energetically pushed aside. With an eye to Iran, it is not too late to readjust our approach.

The megaliths and after
by Guy Gervis
Three important new books to be added to the Bibliography:
1. ‘After the Ice: A Global Human History 20,000 – 5000 BC’ by Steven Mithen, published by Weidenfeld 1 Nicholson 2003.
A fascinating book which I found of great value in trying to understand what the Mesolithic people had to face up to in the way of climatic and environmental change after the Ice Age.
2. ‘Facing the Ocean: The Atlantic and its People’. By Barry Cunliffe, published by Oxford University Press 2001.
A wonderful summary of research on this interface, which is wide ranging and includes a very good section on boats. He does, to my mind however, not provide adequate explanations to my two base problems: what stimulated the construction of the megalithic monuments and an understanding of the evolution of the Indo-European languages.
3. ‘Britain BC’ by Francis Pryor published by Harper Perennial 2003.
Vivid and interesting discussions on a wide range of important British archaeological sites presenting a great deal of information. For me it was also important because there was a reference to the LOIS study which I discuss next.
‘LAND – OCEAN INTERACTION AND ENVIRONMENT CHANGE AROUND THE NORTH SEA’
by Ian Shennan and others, published by the Geological Society as Special Publication No 166.
At first sight this is a high tech study showing that the North Sea, rising after the end of the Ice Age, covered all previous land areas, apart from some coastal strips by 6000 BP, 4000 BC which would put paid to most of ‘The Megaliths & After’. However a more careful reading of the paper shows that this need not be the case.
The first point is that, perhaps not surprisingly, the possibility of man made dykes protecting a substantial island within the North Sea has not been considered. The next point is that while a microscopic examination of some of the cores taken from the seabed indicates quite clearly the period when the sea took over from the land, the ‘transgression’, many of the cores do not for some reason give this information. Most of the cores lacking this information seem to have been taken away from the coast, which is where the island of Lacuna would have been , although there is not precise information about where many of the cores were taken. It is suggested that the reason why some cores lack evidence of transgression might be the effect of erosion on the seabed. If Lacuna ended in a devastating flood with the destruction of the protecting dykes in around 2500 BC, 4500 BP, this would certainly have led to erosion. The computer modelling programme presumably would have deduced from other information, such as the relative levels of land, that the sea would have arrived around a certain date, but the lack of consistent coverage of core data to support this does leave a query.
It appears that further and more sophisticated modelling processes are intended. For instance the present study does not include sediment erosion and deposition, which must be of considerable import in this area. Nor are the historic river routes indicated which would have been of great importance for the evolution of Lacuna.
There also seems to be uncertainty relating to tidal predictions which, according to the model, should not have changed much after 6000 BP, but apparently there is other information suggesting that there were subsequent changes. Certainly if the dykes protecting Lacuna had existed until 4500 BP, their destruction would have been sufficient to effect the tidal pattern. In the paper it is suggested that this problem may go back to the computer modelling of the ice sheet.
So it seems reasonable to raise a query with regard to the possibility of Lacuna on the basis of the current LOIS study, but it should be stressed that a sophisticated computer modelling programme, such as been employed for this study, might be the way to test whether the Lacuna hypothesis is feasible, and perhaps even whether Lacuna did exist. The likely form of Lacuna would be sketched in by identifying the points likely to have been defended initially against the advancing sea, probably between 9000 BP and 8000 BP, and the extension of the dykes from these points could be followed as the water level rose. It would however be necessary to have positioned the river courses at these early dates. The maximum height of the dykes, believed to be of the order of 30 metres, could also be checked against the sea level at 4500 BP.

PHOTO: HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY / TOR JOHNSON
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE of the audit was to form an opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the financial statements for the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The audit was conducted by Accuity LLP.
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ended June 30, 2021, HTA reported total revenues of $46.1 million, along with $5 million in transfers from other state departments, and total expenses of $49.2 million. Revenues consisted of $38 million from TAT, $5.8 million from charges for services, and interest and other revenues of $2.3 million.
Total expenses of $49.2 million consisted of $36.4 million for contracts, $7.9 million for depreciation, and $4.9 million for payroll, administrative, and other expenses.
As of June 30, 2021, total assets and deferred outflows of resources of $320.3 million exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of $13.5 million, resulting in a net position of $306.8 million. Total assets and deferred outflows of resources included (1) cash of $104.6 million, (2) land and net capital assets of $192.9 million, and (3) other assets and deferred outflows of resources of $22.8 million.
HTA RECEIVED AN UNMODIFIED OPINION that its financial statements were presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
About the Authority
The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) was established by the 1998 Legislature to serve as the State’s lead agency for strategically managing tourism. State law requires HTA to develop a tourism marketing plan that includes statewide promotional efforts and programs, targeted markets, and other marketing efforts with measures of effectiveness and documentation of HTA’s progress toward strategic plan goals. HTA is also responsible for the Hawai‘i Convention Center. The primary source of funding for HTA’s operations is the Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) collected by the State. HTA is governed by a board of directors comprised of 12 voting members, each of whom is appointed by the Governor, and is placed within the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism for administrative purposes. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5273 | {"url": "https://auditor.hawaii.gov/summary/financial-audit-of-the-hawaii-tourism-authority-2021/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "auditor.hawaii.gov", "date_download": "2023-03-21T10:32:09Z", "digest": "sha1:WSD5FCUAVVDW4V3FOTXDLT2CYAX2CHYO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2360, 2360.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2360, 6876.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2360, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2360, 103.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2360, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2360, 145.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2360, 0.27941176]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2360, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2360, 0.1661442]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2360, 0.1400209]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2360, 0.1400209]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2360, 0.03239289]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2360, 0.01306165]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2360, 0.03552769]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2360, 0.05433647]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2360, 0.05882353]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2360, 0.27941176]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2360, 0.46994536]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2360, 5.2295082]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2360, 4.60606521]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2360, 366.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 115, 0.0], [115, 149, 0.0], [149, 195, 0.0], [195, 441, 1.0], [441, 763, 1.0], [763, 934, 1.0], [934, 1357, 1.0], [1357, 1532, 1.0], [1532, 1552, 0.0], [1552, 2360, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 115, 0.0], [115, 149, 0.0], [149, 195, 0.0], [195, 441, 0.0], [441, 763, 0.0], [763, 934, 0.0], [934, 1357, 0.0], [1357, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1552, 0.0], [1552, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 66, 11.0], [66, 115, 7.0], [115, 149, 7.0], [149, 195, 6.0], [195, 441, 44.0], [441, 763, 52.0], [763, 934, 24.0], [934, 1357, 68.0], [1357, 1532, 23.0], [1532, 1552, 3.0], [1552, 2360, 121.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 115, 0.0], [115, 149, 0.1875], [149, 195, 0.0], [195, 441, 0.02489627], [441, 763, 0.06270627], [763, 934, 0.06369427], [934, 1357, 0.07808564], [1357, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1552, 0.0], [1552, 2360, 0.00755668]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 115, 0.0], [115, 149, 0.0], [149, 195, 0.0], [195, 441, 0.0], [441, 763, 0.0], [763, 934, 0.0], [934, 1357, 0.0], [1357, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1552, 0.0], [1552, 2360, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 66, 0.10606061], [66, 115, 0.10204082], [115, 149, 0.08823529], [149, 195, 0.80434783], [195, 441, 0.10569106], [441, 763, 0.07453416], [763, 934, 0.00584795], [934, 1357, 0.0070922], [1357, 1532, 0.17142857], [1532, 1552, 0.1], [1552, 2360, 0.0519802]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2360, 0.00110728]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2360, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2360, 0.28304982]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2360, -224.06576761]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2360, -17.61870837]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2360, 8.29909017]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2360, 27.0]]} |

Enemy of my enemy: Re-evaluating the Islamic State's Relationship with the Ba'athist JRTN
IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Monitor
https://aymennjawad.org/16692/enemy-of-my-enemy-re-evaluating-the-islamic-state
Since the full-blown revival of Iraq's Sunni insurgency at the beginning of 2014, there has been much misunderstanding of the relationship between the Islamic State and insurgents of Baathist orientation, principally represented by the Jaish Rijaal al-Tariqa al-Naqshabandiyya (JRTN). Much of the discourse on this subject attempts to tie the JRTN to the Islamic State, arguing that a so-called 'alliance of convenience' between the two groups has been key to the Islamic State's maintenance of power in areas outside of government control. Linked to this theme is the portrayal of the Islamic State as somehow Baathism reincarnated, most commonly noting the former careers that many leading figures in the group had in the security apparatus of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's government. As such, it is worthwhile to trace the relationship between the JRTN and the Islamic State from the initial emergence of the former until the present day, primarily focusing on the aftermath of the United States' military withdrawal from Iraq at the end of 2011, in order to highlight that the common notion of the 'alliance of convenience' is mistaken and that there is a clear dividing line between the two groups. Whatever co-ordination that took place in mid-2014, in particular, soon dissipated as the Islamic State consolidated power and local territorial control at the JRTN's expense, so that the JRTN has largely descended into irrelevance. Consequently, whatever the veracity of claims by Shia militias that the JRTN leader and former aide to Hussein, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, was killed in mid-April 2015, the JRTN's impact on Iraq's security situation in the face of the wider Islamic State threat is minimal.

Battle of Britain ( 17123 views )
The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England, literally "The Air Battle for England") was a military campaign of the Second World War, in which the Royal Air Force (RAF) defended the United Kingdom (UK) against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe. It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces. The British officially recognise the battle's duration as being from 10 July until 31 October 1940, which overlaps the period of large-scale night attacks known as the Blitz, that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941. German historians do not accept this subdivision and regard the battle as a single campaign lasting from July 1940 to June 1941, including the Blitz.The primary objective of the German forces was to compel Britain to agree to a negotiated peace settlement. In July 1940, the air and sea blockade began, with the Luftwaffe mainly targeting coastal-shipping convoys, ports and shipping centres, such as Portsmouth. On 1 August, the Luftwaffe was directed to achieve air superiority over the RAF with the aim of incapacitating RAF Fighter Command; 12 days later, it shifted the attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure. As the battle progressed, the Luftwaffe also targeted factories involved in aircraft production and strategic infrastructure. Eventually, it employed terror bombing on areas of political significance and on civilians.The Germans had rapidly overwhelmed France and the Low Countries, leaving Britain to face the threat of invasion by sea. The German high command knew the difficulties of a seaborne attack and its impracticality while the Royal Navy controlled the English Channel and the North Sea. On 16 July, Adolf Hitler ordered the preparation of Operation Sea Lion as a potential amphibious and airborne assault on Britain, to follow once the Luftwaffe had air superiority over the UK. In September, RAF Bomber Command night raids disrupted the German preparation of converted barges, and the Luftwaffe's failure to overwhelm the RAF forced Hitler to postpone and eventually cancel Operation Sea Lion. Germany proved unable to sustain daylight raids, but their continued night-bombing operations on Britain became known as the Blitz. Historian Stephen Bungay cited Germany's failure to destroy Britain's air defences to force an armistice (or even outright surrender) as the first major German defeat in World War II and a crucial turning point in the conflict. The Battle of Britain takes its name from a speech given by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the House of Commons on 18 June: "What General Weygand called the 'Battle of France' is over. I expect that the battle of Britain is about to begin."

Catapult ( 21408 views )
A catapult is a ballistic device used to launch a projectile a great distance without the aid of explosive devices—particularly various types of ancient and medieval siege engines. In use since ancient times, the catapult has proven to be one of the most effective mechanisms during warfare. In modern times the term can apply to devices ranging from a simple hand-held implement (also called a “slingshot”) to a mechanism for launching aircraft from a ship.

Cavalry (from the French cavalerie, cf. cheval 'horse') or horsemen are soldiers or warriors who fight mounted on horseback. Cavalry were historically the most mobile of the combat arms. An individual soldier in the cavalry is known by a number of designations such as cavalryman, horseman, dragoon, or trooper. The designation of cavalry was not usually given to any military forces that used other animals, such as camels, mules or elephants. Infantry who moved on horseback, but dismounted to fight on foot, were known in the 17th and early 18th centuries as dragoons, a class of mounted infantry which later evolved into cavalry proper while retaining their historic title. Cavalry had the advantage of improved mobility, and a man fighting from horseback also had the advantages of greater height, speed, and inertial mass over an opponent on foot. Another element of horse mounted warfare is the psychological impact a mounted soldier can inflict on an opponent. The speed, mobility and shock value of the cavalry was greatly appreciated and exploited in armed forces in the Ancient and Middle Ages; some forces were mostly cavalry, particularly in nomadic societies of Asia, notably the Mongol armies. In Europe cavalry became increasingly armoured (heavy), and eventually became known for the mounted knights. During the 17th century cavalry in Europe lost most of its armor, ineffective against the muskets and cannon which were coming into use, and by the mid-19th century armor had mainly fallen into disuse, although some regiments retained a small thickened cuirass that offered protection against lances and sabres and some protection against shot. In the period between the World Wars, many cavalry units were converted into motorized infantry and mechanized infantry units, or reformed as tank troops. However, some cavalry still served during World War II, notably in the Red Army, the Mongolian People's Army, the Royal Italian Army, the Romanian Army, the Polish Land Forces, and light reconnaissance units within the Waffen SS. Most cavalry units that are horse-mounted in modern armies serve in purely ceremonial roles, or as mounted infantry in difficult terrain such as mountains or heavily forested areas. Modern usage of the term generally refers to units performing the role of reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA).

Ceremonial weapon ( 5633 views )
A ceremonial weapon is an object used for ceremonial purposes to display power or authority. They are often used in parades and as part of dress uniforms. Although they are descended from weapons used in actual combat, they are not normally used as such. Their form and, especially, their finishing and decoration are typically designed to show status and power and to be an impressive sight, rather than for practicality as a weapon. Quite often, ceremonial weapons are constructed with precious metals or other materials that make them too delicate for combat use. With ceremonial swords, an example of this is that the sword may be poorly balanced. Historically, however, many ceremonial weapons were also capable of actual combat, most notably in the military. Maces, halberds, daggers and swords are the most common form of ceremonial weapons, but in theory almost any weapon can become ceremonial. The Sergeant at Arms in some parliaments carries a ceremonial mace. The Swiss Guard in the Vatican carry both ceremonial weapons (halberds and swords) and 21st century weapons (semi-automatic pistols). Mid 20th century rifles such as the American M14 and the Russian SKS, fitted with polished wood stocks, chrome plating and other decorative finishes, are common ceremonial weapons for honor guard units. Another example is the use of a firearm to signal the start of a race. Guns are also used in celebratory gunfire.

A chariot is a type of carriage driven by a charioteer, usually using horses to provide rapid motive power. Chariots were used by armies as transport or mobile archery platforms, for hunting or for racing, and as a conveniently fast way to travel for many ancient people. The word "chariot" comes from the Latin term carrus, a loanword from Gaulish. A chariot of war or one used in military parades was called a car. In ancient Rome and some other ancient Mediterranean civilizations, a biga required two horses, a triga three, and a quadriga four. The chariot was a fast, light, open, two-wheeled conveyance drawn by two or more horses that were hitched side by side, and was little more than a floor with a waist-high guard at the front and sides. It was initially used for ancient warfare during the Bronze and Iron Ages; but, after its military capabilities had been superseded by cavalry, as horses were gradually bred to be bigger, the chariot was used for travel, in processions, for games, and in races. The critical invention that allowed the construction of light, horse-drawn chariots was the spoked wheel. The earliest spoke-wheeled chariots date to ca. 2000 BC. The use of chariots peaked around 1300 BC (see Battle of Kadesh). Chariots had lost their military importance by the 1st century AD, but chariot races continued to be popular in Constantinople until the 6th century.

Chariot racing ( 11502 views )
Chariot racing (Greek: ἁρματοδρομία, translit. harmatodromia, Latin: ludi circenses) was one of the most popular Iranian, ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine sports. Chariot racing was dangerous to both drivers and horses as they often suffered serious injury and even death, but these dangers added to the excitement and interest for spectators. Chariot races could be watched by women, who were banned from watching many other sports. In the Roman form of chariot racing, teams represented different groups of financial backers and sometimes competed for the services of particularly skilled drivers. As in modern sports like football, spectators generally chose to support a single team, identifying themselves strongly with its fortunes, and violence sometimes broke out between rival factions. The rivalries were sometimes politicized, when teams became associated with competing social or religious ideas. This helps explain why Roman and later Byzantine emperors took control of the teams and appointed many officials to oversee them. The sport faded in importance in the West after the fall of Rome. It survived for a time in the Byzantine Empire, where the traditional Roman factions continued to play a prominent role for several centuries, gaining influence in political matters. Their rivalry culminated in the Nika riots, which marked the gradual decline of the sport.

The English language terminology used in the classification of swords is imprecise and has varied widely over time. There is no historical dictionary for the universal names, classification or terminology of swords; a sword was simply called "sword" in whatever language the swordsmen spoke. Historical terms without a universal consensus of definition (i.e. "arming sword", "broadsword", "long sword", etc.) were used to label weapons of similar appearance but of different historical periods, regional cultures and fabrication technology. These terms were often described in relation to other unrelated weapons, without regard to their intended use and fighting style. In modern history, many of these terms have been given specific, often arbitrary meanings that are unrelated to any of their historical meanings.

Club (weapon) ( 14123 views )
A club (also known as a cudgel, baton, bludgeon, truncheon, cosh, or nightstick) is among the simplest of all weapons: a short staff or stick, usually made of wood, wielded as a weapon since prehistoric times. There are several examples of blunt-force trauma caused by clubs in the past, including at the site of Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, described as the scene of a prehistoric conflict between bands of hunter-gatherers 10,000 years ago. In popular culture, clubs are associated with primitive cultures, especially cavemen. Most clubs are small enough to be swung with one hand, although larger clubs may require the use of two to be effective. Various specialized clubs are used in martial arts and other fields, including the law-enforcement baton. The military mace is a more sophisticated descendant of the club, typically made of metal and featuring a spiked, knobbed, or flanged head attached to a shaft. The wounds inflicted by a club are generally known as strike trauma or blunt-force trauma injuries.

Cold War ( 19412 views )
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union with its satellite states (the Eastern Bloc), and the United States with its allies (the Western Bloc) after World War II. A common historiography of the conflict begins with 1946, the year U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan's "Long Telegram" from Moscow cemented a U.S. foreign policy of containment of Soviet expansionism threatening strategically vital regions, and ending between the Revolutions of 1989 and the 1991 collapse of the USSR, which ended communism in Eastern Europe. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, but they each supported major regional wars known as proxy wars. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the Soviet Union and the United States as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. The USSR was a Marxist–Leninist state led by its Communist Party, which in turn was dominated by a leader with different titles over time, and a small committee called the Politburo. The Party controlled the state, the press, the military, the economy, and many organizations throughout the Second World, including the Warsaw Pact and other satellites, and funded communist parties around the world, sometimes in competition with communist China, particularly following the Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s. In opposition stood the capitalist West, led by the United States, a federal republic with a two-party presidential system. The First World nations of the Western Bloc were generally liberal democratic with a free press and independent organizations, but were economically and politically entwined with a network of banana republics and other authoritarian regimes throughout the Third World, most of which were the Western Bloc's former colonies. Some major Cold War frontlines such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Congo were still Western colonies in 1947. A neutral bloc arose with the Non-Aligned Movement, which sought good relations with both sides. Notwithstanding relatively isolated incidents of air-to-air dogfights and shoot-downs, the two superpowers never engaged directly in full-scale armed combat. However, both were heavily armed in preparation for a possible all-out nuclear world war. Each side had a nuclear strategy that discouraged an attack by the other side, on the basis that such an attack would lead to the total destruction of the attacker—the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD). Aside from the development of the two sides' nuclear arsenals, and their deployment of conventional military forces, the struggle for dominance was expressed via proxy wars around the globe, psychological warfare, massive propaganda campaigns and espionage, far-reaching embargos, rivalry at sports events, and technological competitions such as the Space Race. The first phase of the Cold War began in the first two years after the end of the Second World War in 1945. The USSR consolidated its control over the states of the Eastern Bloc, while the United States began a strategy of global containment to challenge Soviet power, extending military and financial aid to the countries of Western Europe (for example, supporting the anti-communist side in the Greek Civil War) and creating the NATO alliance. The Berlin Blockade (1948–49) was the first major crisis of the Cold War. With the victory of the Communist side in the Chinese Civil War and the outbreak of the Korean War (1950–53), the conflict expanded. The USSR and the US competed for influence in Latin America and the decolonizing states of Africa and Asia. The Soviets suppressed the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The expansion and escalation sparked more crises, such as the Suez Crisis (1956), the Berlin Crisis of 1961, and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, which was perhaps the closest the two sides came to nuclear war. Meanwhile, an international peace movement took root and grew among citizens around the world, first in Japan from 1954, when people became concerned about nuclear weapons testing, but soon also in Europe and the US. The peace movement, and in particular the anti-nuclear movement, gained pace and popularity from the late 1950s and early 1960s, and continued to grow through the '70s and '80s with large protest marches, demonstrations, and various non-parliamentary activism opposing war and calling for global nuclear disarmament. Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, a new phase began that saw the Sino-Soviet split complicate relations within the Communist sphere, while US allies, particularly France, demonstrated greater independence of action. The USSR crushed the 1968 Prague Spring liberalization program in Czechoslovakia, while the US experienced internal turmoil from the civil rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War (1955–75), which ended with the defeat of the US-backed Republic of Vietnam, prompting further adjustments. By the 1970s, both sides had become interested in making allowances in order to create a more stable and predictable international system, ushering in a period of détente that saw Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and the US opening relations with the People's Republic of China as a strategic counterweight to the Soviet Union. Détente collapsed at the end of the decade with the beginning of the Soviet–Afghan War in 1979. The early 1980s were another period of elevated tension, with the Soviet downing of KAL Flight 007 and the "Able Archer" NATO military exercises, both in 1983. The United States increased diplomatic, military, and economic pressures on the Soviet Union, at a time when the communist state was already suffering from economic stagnation. On 12 June 1982, a million protesters gathered in Central Park, New York to call for an end to the Cold War arms race and nuclear weapons in particular. In the mid-1980s, the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev introduced the liberalizing reforms of perestroika ("reorganization", 1987) and glasnost ("openness", c. 1985) and ended Soviet involvement in Afghanistan. Pressures for national independence grew stronger in Eastern Europe, especially Poland. Gorbachev meanwhile refused to use Soviet troops to bolster the faltering Warsaw Pact regimes as had occurred in the past. The result in 1989 was a wave of revolutions that peacefully (with the exception of the Romanian Revolution) overthrew all of the communist regimes of Central and Eastern Europe. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union itself lost control and was banned following an abortive coup attempt in August 1991. This in turn led to the formal dissolution of the USSR in December 1991 and the collapse of communist regimes in other countries such as Mongolia, Cambodia, and South Yemen. The United States remained as the world's only superpower. The Cold War and its events have left a significant legacy. It is often referred to in popular culture, especially in media featuring themes of espionage (notably the internationally successful James Bond book and film franchise) and the threat of nuclear warfare. Meanwhile, a renewed state of tension between the Soviet Union's successor state, Russia, and the United States in the 2010s (including its Western allies) has been referred to as the Second Cold War.
Dominance (ethology)
Combat ( 8602 views )
Combat (French for fight) is a purposeful violent conflict meant to weaken, establish dominance over, or kill the opposition, or to drive the opposition away from a location where it is not wanted or needed. Combat is typically between opposing military forces in warfare. Combat violence can be unilateral, whereas fighting implies at least a defensive reaction. A large-scale fight is known as a battle. A verbal fight is commonly known as an argument. Combat effectiveness, in the strategic field, requires combat readiness. In military areas, the term is applied also to personnel, that has to receive proper training and be qualified to carry out combat operations in the unit to which they are assigned. |

St. Kitts All-Inclusive Vacation Packages, Resorts & Hotels
All Inclusive Resort Vacations to St. Kitts!
Today, over 400 hotels in the Caribbean and Mexico are either all-inclusive or offer all inclusive packages. As the name implies, an all-inclusive vacation package includes everything needed for a fun vacation.
Beautiful locations
Can be for families, adults only, or couples
Most all-inclusive resorts include the following amenities in the price of the room:
Beverages (alcoholic and non)
All tips and gratuities
Activities like non-motorized watersports (scuba varies by resort)
They can save you money

A closer look at Hadrian
Today was the closing performance of Hadrian, the new opera by Rufus Wainwright and Daniel MacIvor, presented by the Canadian Opera Company at the Four Seasons Centre.
After tonight’s display of healthy nearly-naked male bodies in a homosexual love story, tomorrow I’m off to see Opera Atelier’s display of nearly-naked bodies of both genders in their pair of love stories.

Tonight was my second trip through Wainwright’s score, a closer look because I was sitting in the second row. This vantage point is a mixed blessing. One can’t easily see the surtitles (not necessary in Hadrian which is mostly in English), at times the orchestra can be so over-powering as to drown out soloists, and if you want to be taken in by the illusion, you can often see how the magic is accomplished from these seats.
But at this distance one is more susceptible to a good performance, unable to resist the magic. I was again captivated by Ambur Braid’s acting, subtle nuances I couldn’t see from afar. Thomas Hampson was even more persuasive. Karita Mattila enacted a version of a singer’s nightmare; imagine you’re in a foreign country, your words sung in the language of the audience complete with surtitles of what you’re supposed to be singing (oh terror!).
I was very impressed with a lot of the singing, even if I’m not 100% confident that I’m identifying the parts correctly. Anna-Sophie Neher as Lavia (if I’ve identified the right role & person) was wonderful in her singing, and often the most interesting person to watch onstage, in a somewhat thankless role, always making something happen. Ditto for Ben Heppner as Dinarchus, who is such an honest singer, never taking a short-cut but giving his all. David Leigh as the aptly named Turbo was even better up close, the voice strong, the intonation perfect, and his macho presence always a force to be reckoned with. Alas with a new opera, one may not be as clear as to what is being accomplished by the singers who I want to appreciate for their strong work throughout, even if I’m not mentioning them all by name.
I can’t tell if Isaiah Bell was over-parted in the role of Antinous or it was simply the location of my seat, within a few feet of the conductor. Was the role cast based on visuals and the chemistry between the principals? Bell looks the part, but perhaps Wainwright didn’t expect that he’d written for a heavier voice, perhaps requiring a heavier body as well to cope with the heavy orchestration.
Speaking of Antinous, it’s something I noticed on opening night and ignored, but mention now on closing night. There were at least three people in the cast who pronounced “Antinous” as a four-syllable name, while the chorus and most everyone else made it a three-syllable name. There is presumably a right way to pronounce it, and whatever that is should be decided upon by someone in the production, and then it must be adhered to as a guiding principle by all.
Up close I liked most of the opera much better. But the last five minutes still had me squirming, astonished that they would let it reach the stage. I am frankly astonished that so much of the opera is good, and then it ends on such a weak over-blown sequence. I wondered if it was maybe politics, especially on a day like today, when the frequent references to “The Jews” gave me the shivers, in consideration of the unfolding news story from Pittsburgh. Was the ending left in this bizarre shape due to politics, some kind of pressure or interference? I can’t help thinking maybe that’s what happened, although it’s funny that the whole gay eroticism of the piece –which is so much stronger up close—still hit me as wonderful, beautiful, perhaps the best thing about the production. Choreographer Denise Clarke created something quite wonderful for her dancers. I’m very happy to live in a city so relaxed about eroticism in opera that this is almost an after-thought.
After a second hearing, part of me wonders if the key was simply knowing how to listen. I think it’s mostly operatic especially now that the cast seems so much more confident in the material, so much more familiar with the music & the text. No question, they were better today than they were two weeks ago. The highlights this time were very much the same as last time, namely
Two arias from Braid as Sabina
The two dance numbers in each of Act I and II
The sextet drinking scene in Act III
I am curious to see what they make of this opera. I hope the weakness at the end is truly the result of politics and not the actual intention of Wainwright and/or MacIvor. (I could be wrong of course!)
At the same time, I am very conflicted about the music. While sometimes RW showed a melodic gift, we often encountered scenes where one or more personages onstage sang the same note over and over, so much so that the repeated note could almost be a leit-motiv. But what might it signify? For someone reputed to have a melodic gift it was odd that so often the melody was in the orchestra while the singer was pinned to the same note over and over.
I will be interested to see what he writes for his next opera. In the meantime, Opera Atelier continue Actéon and Pygmalion until next weekend, and the COC continues Eugene Onegin, also running until next weekend.

A quarter century of ‘A League of Their Own’
Written by: Bill Francis
It was 25 summers ago, on July 1, 1992, that the much-celebrated film A League of Their Own was released in the United States. Based on the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which began play in 1943 and lasted a dozen years, the Midwest circuit thrived during World War II and lasted until 1954.
The film, directed by Penny Marshall, focuses on the Rockford Peaches, one of four clubs that made up the AAGPBL in its first season. The fictionalized story deals with the combative relationship between team’s catcher, Dottie Hinson, portrayed by Geena Davis, and her sister, Kit Keller, the pitcher, played by Lori Petty. It also stars Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up former big league slugger turned skeptical team manager, and Madonna as Mae Mordabito, a street-smart and wisecracking outfielder.
Also cast in A League of Their Own as member of the Peaches was actress Anne Ramsay, who, in a recent telephone interview with the National Baseball Hall of Fame from her home in California, looked back on her role portraying first baseman Helen Haley.
“It was personally thrilling for me,” Ramsay said. “I’ve always been a champion of women and I always loved sports. So for me, this film, when I heard it was coming up, I got an audition. It was just like a perfect fit. And then to get the role and to be able to be a part of this rich history that I didn’t even know about. And thanks to Penny Marshall, everyone gets to know about these amazing women from that league. That was just a wonderful way to start a career for me.
“Also, the women themselves from the league, a few of them we would get to meet on the set as they were consultants and would help us all out to make it authentic. Just meeting them and getting to spend time with them and hearing their stories was just a rich experience, as you can imagine.”

Ramsay would add that the reaction to A League of Their Own from women of all ages was both gratifying and emotional.
“After the film came out, little girls would come up to all of us all excited because they finally had something that would represent them, that they could look up to,” Ramsay said. “Little girls and young women starving for that. It was amazing to be a part of. And still is, but to a lesser extent now. But I play beach volleyball with people younger than me and some of them are like, ‘Gosh, when I was in high school we would play that film to get psyched up for our games.’ It just brings tears to my eyes. It’s a beautiful thing that I got to be a part of and carry on that message of what those women did. Lucky me.”
While the audition process was daunting, Ramsay remains overwhelmed that she was able to take part in what many consider a film favorite.
“Every actress my age got an audition. Luckily for me, the athletic part, the sports end of it, was in me already,” Ramsay said. “I really wanted that film because of how the script resonated within me. Penny brought me in like six times to audition. She wasn’t sure where to put me. She had me read for all the different parts and then she ended up creating a part for me because she wanted me on the film. Then she found out I was left-handed and she was like, ‘You’ll play first base.’ I cried that night.
“I remember I was offered a limo ride to the airport when I was going to go off on location to start shooting the film, but I declined because my girlfriend offered to take me and I wasn’t going to see her for a long time,” she added. “And we get to the airport and I started crying and my girlfriend asked me why. I told her I knew I was going to be changed by this film. It was just something I knew was going to be a big deal. We went off and did the film and it was everything and more than I ever could have dreamed of. On the plane ride home after filming wrapped, I’m looking out the window and I’m crying because I didn’t want it to be over.”
With an estimated budget of $40 million, it has been reported that A League of Their Own has earned $107 million.
“I was thrilled with the reaction to the film. Honestly, I was surprised but I couldn’t be prouder that I’m part of a classic film. I thought it would be a great film but I didn’t know it would be this beloved,” Ramsay said. “It was just a magical experience. I’ll never be able to adequately articulate what it means to me.”
A working actress since the 1980s, Ramsay was also a regular cast member in the hit 1990s television series Mad About You, where she portrayed Lisa Stemple, Helen Hunt’s sister.
“Mad About You, which I got cast in after A League of Their Own, both of those experiences are unparalleled in my career so far,” she said. “Hopefully I’ll have some more experiences on that level.
“I’ve been very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time with the right skillset. The fact that I could be an actress and make a living off of it all these years is remarkable, but to be involved in A League of Their Own, about women, was meant to be I guess.”

Signs in the Heavens
Home/Newsletters/Signs in the Heavens
Looking Ahead and Looking Up in 2014
“Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.” Mat 16:1
Willful Spiritual Blindness
This incident occurred following the feeding of four thousand people from seven loaves, and the healing of many people from diseases. The implication contained in the demand by the religious leaders is that these were merely “earthly signs.” No doubt they were thinking of the prophecy of the prophet Joel.
“And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Joe 2:30–32a
Jesus’ rebuke to them is twofold: He first condemns their hypocrisy in that they could discern the weather, but you “cannot discern the signs of the times.” Everything Jesus had done spoke of His identity (see Isa 61:1–3), which they refused to acknowledge. Second, He declares that this hypocrisy was the outward fruit of their inward corruption. They were an “evil and adulterous generation” (Mat 12:39). The word evil speaks of that which is spiritually malignant and harmful in its effects. The root cause of this was their blatant unfaithfulness to the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” The uniqueness of the nation of Israel was that they were “the elect”—a nation betrothed to Jehovah. However, like a faithless bride, the nation had turned to whoredom, forsaking the vows of her youth (read Ezekiel 16).
Therefore, from the root of willful unbelief came the twin fruits of evil and hypocrisy. The religious leaders of Israel were morally twisted and had a harmful, malignant effect on all around them. Since unbelief in the face of the light results in spiritual blindness (Eph 4:17–18), they could not see what was clear to the common people, though they were considered experts in all things spiritual. Jesus told them they would have but one sign from heaven—His death, burial, and resurrection—“the sign of Jonah” (Luk 11:29). Yet even when these words were fulfilled, they continued to harden their hearts against the truth.
America and Israel, 2014
Conditions in America now mirror those of Israel in the time of Christ. Religious leaders cater to the crowds’ demand for emotional stimulation and empty religious entertainment. The serious teaching of the Bible is nearly gone from the land. America—following in the train of other western nations—is entering the time of famine for hearing the Word of the Lord (Amo 8:11). At every conference, we see the words of the prophet fulfilled as people “wander from sea to sea, and from north to east [and] run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord” (Amo 8:12). Yet few seem able to discern the signs of our times.
Many of you will be aware of the extremely rare occurrence of the four “blood moons” which will begin on April 15. Let me quote from Pastor John Hagee in his book Four Blood Moons. (By the way, before I get flooded by emails, the recommendation of a book does not endorse everything in the book, nor everything the author teaches. It simply commends to you some food for thought!)
“The occurrence of a lunar eclipse is common … the occurrence of a total lunar eclipse is less common. The occurrence of a Tetrad or four consecutive Blood Moons (total lunar eclipses) is rare … A Tetrad with a total solar eclipse that is significant to Israel’s history and the Jewish Feasts is very, very rare. The occurrence of a Tetrad with a total solar eclipse historically significant to Israel and Jewish Feasts that includes a Shemittah (Sabbatical) year within its series is very, very, very rare. But a Tetrad with a total solar eclipse, historically significant to Israel and falling on the Jewish Feasts with a Shemittah year that corresponds with the Feast of Trumpets (the Jewish New Year) within its series is astronomically rare!” (pp. 235–236)
Signs and Seasons
One of God’s declared uses of the sun and moon is that of “signs and seasons” (Gen 1:14). Specifically, signs and seasons relate to Israel and her history and destiny. This is why Jesus told His disciples they had no need at that time to know “the times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority” (Act 1:7). Being at the beginning of the Church Age, these things were not of immediate concern. The Church inhabits a period of time known as “the mystery” (see Eph 1:9–10, Eph 3:1–7), which depends not on the presence of signs, but rather the presence of a Person: the Holy Spirit of God. This unique age was inaugurated on Pentecost (Acts 2), and will continue until the Rapture of the Church. We are not to “seek for signs” because we do not need them. We have, in the completed Canon of Scripture, the “mind of Christ” (1Co 2:16) to guide us in faith and conduct.
But the Church is inextricably linked to Israel, both as the fruit that grew out of her root (Rom 11:17–19), and then as the guardian of her spiritual treasures (Rom 9:4–5), until the time of her regeneration, beginning with the 144,000 Jewish evangelists (Rev 7:1–8). The coming blood moons have interest to us as believers because of what they portend for Israel and, therefore, what they mean by implication for the Church.
The present-day departure from literal and dispensational interpretation of the Bible puts people in the same boat as the disciples in Act 1:7! The tragedy is that later revelation through the Apostle Paul clarified the issue of “times and … seasons” (1Th 5:1). Once the dispensation of the Church is properly understood, God’s plan for Israel becomes clear, and “the day of the Lord” (the Tribulation, followed by the Second Coming) is put into perspective. Those who reject the biblical doctrine of the Rapture of the Church (1Th 4:13–18) find themselves in a quandary. They are looking for the Second Coming, and the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecies to the Church, which in their view has replaced Israel. The problem is, history continues to baffle them as the little nation of Israel just will not go away! How is it that Israel continues to fulfill the ancient prophecy that in the last days she will be a “burden to the nations” (Zec 12:3) when in their view God is done with Israel? And how do we explain the fact that the prophecy declares that this will be the condition just before the Lord’s return, when “the house of David … will look on Me whom they pierced” (Zec 12:10)?
The Signs of the Times
The coming Tetrad of blood moons is a sign specifically relating to Israel. Only three times in the last five hundred years have similar heavenly signs occurred. Each time, the Jewish people were greatly affected. The first, in 1493–94, was during the Inquisition, when the Jews were driven from Spain. The next occurrence was in 1949–50, when Israel had become a nation after nearly 2,000 years of dispersal. Third, in 1967–68 during the Six Day War, when Israel reclaimed Jerusalem. Again, I refer you to Hagee’s book if you want to get specifics. What God is doing with Israel is of concern to the Church-Age believer because of the implications it has in regard to the Rapture of the Church.
I do not suggest that the Rapture will occur this April 15. What I am suggesting is that, if these unusual heavenly events are those foretold by the prophet Joel, then the “day of the Lord”—the Tribulation—is soon to begin. By deduction, we can then conclude that the time of our gathering together to meet our Lord in the air is near.
From what I have been able to gather, a Tetrad of blood moons will not occur again for many thousands of years. Either the Rapture of the Church and the Tribulation are near, or they are a long, long way off. I think we would be wise to bet our hopes on the closer prospect. There is simply no downside to living expectantly!

Crop Insurance Innovations to Build Trust in Financial Services for Agriculture in Ethiopia
MRR Innovation Lab researchers have partnered with the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative (R4) in Ethiopia to test innovations that improve the accuracy and responsiveness of index insurance, including crop simulations that incorporate farmers’ management practices and a picture-based insurance that contributes to fail-safe audits.
Building Trust in Index Insurance with Picture-based Crop Audits in Ethiopia
In a new feasibility study, MRR Innovation Lab researchers are testing whether smartphone pictures of crops before and after damage can help implement fail-safe audits in Ethiopia.

Manuscript Processing
Upon initial submission of the manuscript, the author will be acknowledged of the receipt via e-mail. Initially an article will be reviewed by one member of the Editorial team to judge the quality of the paper. Articles written in poor English language or not conforming to Biosc.Biotech.Res.Comm guidelines will either be rejected or returned to the authors to rectify the shortcomings. Manuscripts deemed proper are then forwarded to at least two subject experts to provide their unbiased input.
Articles submitted to Biosc Biotech Res Comm are evaluated according to their intellectual merit, without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, political philosophy, or institutional affiliation of the author (s).Editorial decisions on manuscripts submitted to our journals are based on independent, anonymized peer review reports. The journal is committed to an editorial process that is not compromised by financial or political influence, thereby actively seeking and encouraging submissions from underrepresented segments of the global scholarly communication ecosystem.
Incomplete studies and manuscripts not in strict compliance with the journals policies will be strongly discouraged and rejected. Each type of article has a special format and should comply with the updated Biosc Biotech Res Comm Instructions for authors / submission check List, published in its issues. All articles in Biosc Biotech Res Comm are published under a Creative Commons License, International Attribution 4.0 BY-CC, meaning thereby a free unlimited use of the articles for academic purposes without any embargo.
We are particular in demonstrating conformance with established industry guidelines and best practices promoted by professional scholarly and academic quality publishing organizations such as: Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.
Acceptable manuscripts will be checked for data analysis and verification of references before the author will be notified about the status of the paper with any suggestions for modifications. Finally accepted articles will be forwarded to the printer for typeset and formatting, etc. and the proof will be sent to the authors for proof reading, before publication, to be obtained in a time bound frame..
2. Peer Review Policy
Unbiased, independent, critical assessment is an intrinsic part of all scholarly work, including the scientific process. Peer review is the critical assessment of manuscripts submitted to journals by experts who are not part of the editorial staff, and is, therefore, an important extension of the scientific process. Each article submitted to Biosc. Biotech. Res. Comm for publication is reviewed by at least two specialist reviewers of the concerned area. The dual anonymized review process is strictly followed and in certain controversial cases, the opinion of a 3rd reviewer can also be sought.
3. Conflict of Interest
For Authors:
All manuscripts for articles, including the original research data based articles, reviews, editorials, perspectives, comments and letters that are submitted to Biosc. Biotech.Res.Comm. must be accompanied by a conflict of interest disclosure statement or a declaration by the authors that they do not have any conflicts of interest to declare. All articles that are published in the journal must be accompanied by this conflict of interest disclosure statement or a statement that the authors have replied that they have no conflicts of interest to declare.
To facilitate this policy, all authors must privately disclose ‘ALL their potential conflicts of interest’ to the editor of Biosc. Biotech.Res.Comm. at the time of submission. Authors should also disclose any conflict of interest that may have influenced either the conduct or the presentation of the research to the editors, including but not limited to close relationships with those who might be helped or hurt by the publication, academic interests and rivalries, and any personal, religious or political convictions relevant to the topic at hand.
Type of Declaration
If you are submitting your article to Biosc. Biotech.Res.Comm. make a ‘Declaration of Conflicting Interests’, please include such a declaration at the end of your manuscript, following any acknowledgments and prior to the references, under the heading ‘Conflict of Interest Statement’.
If no declaration is made, the following will be printed under this heading in your article: ‘None
Declared’. Alternatively, you may wish to state that ‘The author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest’.
4. Plagiarism
According to Oxford University Dictionary, plagiarism is defined as using some ones else’s ideas, words, data, or other material produced by them without acknowledgement. It is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and representing them as one’s own original work and Biosc Biotech Res Comm condemns all forms of plagiarism, following a very strict and vigilant policy of removing this malady. Within the academia, it is considered dishonesty or fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure.
Plagiarism can be unintentional or intentional, reproducing academic material without appropriate credit to the original authors (Citations / References). Similarly self -plagiarism is the re-use of significant, identical or near identical portions of one’s own work without citing the original work. This is also known as recycling fraud. Worst form of plagiarism is to steal the whole article from some journal and publish it under one’s own name in another journal.
Plagiarism, fabrication, unethical or redundant publication grossly violates the editorial policies of Biosc Biotech Res Comm. which follows best practice guidelines given by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), as mentioned in the Instructions for Authors of Biosc Biotech Res Comm.
All authors submitting their MS to Biosc Biotech Res Comm must complete and sign the ethical statement form and append the Plagiarism Check Certificate of their MS along with copy-right form (www.bbrc.in) failing which, their MS will not be processed further.
The Editorial Committee of Biosc Biotech Res Comm will take appropriate action against any author found to be guilty of intentional plagiarism or exceeding the standard limits of plagiarism / similarity levels of the text matter in their MS. The name of author(s) committing plagiarism or using similar text without appropriate citations will also be disseminated to concerned authorities.
We do not tolerate plagiarism in any of our publications, and we reserve the right to check all submissions through appropriate plagiarism checking tools. Submissions containing suspected plagiarism, in whole or part, will be rejected. If plagiarism is discovered post publication, we will follow our guidance outlined in the Retractions, Corrections and Expressions of Concern section of these guidelines. We expect our readers, reviewers and editors to raise any suspicions of plagiarism, either by contacting the relevant editor or by emailing at editor@bbrc.in.
5. Ethical Issues
Clinical trials and studies conducted in animals (or not) must have been approved by an Institutional Review Committee (IRC). In the absence of such a formal ethics review committee, the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 and/or the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, as adopted and promulgated by the United States National Institutes of Health or Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) India must be followed. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.

Should I join the Premier Club?
I am running out of time to decide. I think it closes at midnight tonight. I have the money for the "deposit", but all the problems people have been having with the models they're getting, plus the cost of the models themselves...and if you opt out of one you're out of the club the rest of the year. But they've been doing some pretty nice ones this past year that made me wish I was in it, like Latigo and Carrick. I'm still hoping to get them on the secondary market. I've tried buying Latigo twice, but ended up having to back out for one reason or another.
The first model for the new club year is called Wyatt
The molds that come out for the Premier Club are brand-new, never-been-released before and while I don't particularly care for Wyatt, he is starting to grow on me. And if I decide I don't like him after-all, it seems like there's a few people in Blab-land who DO want him and aren't in the club that maybe would be willing to buy him. In addition to the neat new molds, they often come with concept drawings that are kind of cool
I would say maybe I should sleep on it, but I think I have to sign up today. It says "by January 1st 2014" but I don't know if that means I can do it up until tomorrow or if it has to be done today...And in addition to the deposit of $100 I would have to pay an additional $20 to make my Collector Club membership "current". I am a current member, but since it's not from after August 2013, I'd have to re-subscribe. <sigh> I think I'm talking myself out of it. hahaha. I think it's really stupid that you have to have the membership be from August or later. As long as it's current it should be fine. I think that alone might be enough to make me not do it.
Today is the last day of 2013. Where did the year go? I have no plans for tonight. I'll probably take a couple of sleeping pills and sleep through the fireworks my neighbor is likely to shoot off. They're illegal in my city, but people still shoot them off. Just like they still use their fireplace/woodburning stove on No-Burn Days. Oh well. I have tomorrow off. Yay! I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Year's.

Back at work...
Well, after having all of last week off, which was really only an extra 3 days since we had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off already, I am back at work today and super busy. I start at 7am and my first break is at 9:30. Usually I'm not very busy first thing in the morning, but since I'm covering for a co-worker who is out all week, I was pretty busy. Only 3 of us know how to do this particular type of work and only 2 of us are supposed to be doing it. If both of us are out then the 3rd person, who used to do it all the time, will step in and cover. I'm not complaining, mind you. I was out all last week so "T" had to cover for me. We don't get anything on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so it won't be so bad. We're also going to be down 2 more tomorrow so that'll make a total of 3 people out tomorrow and since we are a pretty small unit, that's going to "hurt". Oh well. We've been down 4 people before. We can do it. We all have Wednesday off.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I think I already mentioned I got to new models. I took pictures, but I don't have my camera to upload to my computer because there's something else I want to take a picture of for a planned blog post. I enjoyed having the week off from work, but it went too quickly and I didn't get anything done that I'd planned to. I did go horse hunting on Friday, like I'd planned, but that will be another blog post.
So, over the weekend I found this group on Facebook called "As Seen Through Horses' Ears" and it's for people to post pictures taken from the saddle. The very first post on the group, the one you see Every. Single. Time. you go to the group page is about how the only allowed photos require the horse's ears in the picture. It even gives example photos of what is allowed and what isn't. Even with that at the top of the group page, there's still a lot of pictures being posted that don't show any of the horse, they're just scenic. It's annoying when people don't follow the rules of a group. Oh well. Anyway, I spent much of the weekend looking at all the pictures that had been posted. Many of them were taken in Europe, but every now and then there's one from the US and today someone posted one they'd taken last December
She said it was taken at White Sands, New Mexico. I didn't know you could ride there and I posted asking her how she was able to ride there. Now I feel kind of stupid because apparently, the missile range is only PART of White Sands, not the ENTIRE thing. Oh well. Hahaha. What can I say? I had a friend whose parents were into hot air ballooning and she told me they did a festival at White Sands one year and the area was opened to them to be able to do it, but they had to follow all sorts of rules and stuff, which enforced my belief that White Sands was closed to the public. Their festival actually took place on part of the missile range. The balloons were allowed to land there but the chase vehicles had to get them out the moment they landed. I think it would be pretty cool to go riding at White Sands, don't you?
I don't guess, though, that it would be much fun for the horses. Not in the areas with lots of sand anyway. Maybe there's more flat areas where it would be easier for them.
Well, I guess I'd better get back to work. Yay! Happy Monday.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. I got two Breyers...my first ones at a holiday in I don't know how many years. I'll post about them later.

Peter Stone Sneak Peaks...
Happy Soggy Friday! It started raining last night at about 6:30 and has been raining off and on since then. Let me just say, I'm glad my brother has use of our mom's Jeep Cherokee as an alternative way to work so he doesn't have to ride his motorcycle.
Anyway, on with the show.
Until recently, I'd read people on Blab mentioning seeing sneak previews on Facebook of different Peter Stone models as they're being completed and sometimes have even caught a glimpse of one they've ordered. I'm on the official web page for Stone and I'd never seen any previews so I was confused as to how they could see them. Then I found out about a different page where you have to "friend" in order to see the pictures so I sent them a friend request and Viola! I can now see the previews. Well, yesterday they posted a bunch of pictures and so I decided to share some of them here...Some are real neat and others have me scratching my head.
Ready? Here we go.
The first thing that caught my attention about this photo was the angle of the head and the "in your face" feeling to it. Almost like someone was trying to take a picture of the ones in the background and this little fellow popped up and said "Hey, look at me! Ain't I cute?" The model horse version of a photo bomb. hahaha
Then someone mentioned the antlers and I was like, oh yeah. He's got antlers. I'm not real sure of the purpose of having antlers on a horse, but to each their own. He's still cute. Another model had antlers, too...
Next we have this line-up of Arabians. Quite a nice line-up of pretty colors, but that isn't what caught my attention about these lovelies...it's the fact that they alllllll have the same 2013 blaze on their faces. And I imagine that's why they were lined up together because they'd all gotten their blaze at the same time. Well, not exact same time, but maybe just one person paints the blazes and so if the models have a similar or identical marking they stay together. Most of them also have two low socks in front. Only one has a slightly higher right front and nothing on the front left.
And finally there's the hopefully still un-finished ones...
I say 'hopefully still un-finished ones' because of the tails on the two closest to the camera. I can't imagine having a horse with a tail with such abrupt coloring like that. Like it was dipped into ink or something. I'm hoping more color will be added to the top half and blended in with the black bottom half because it looks bizarre the way it is now. No offense if these are your horses and you're in love with how it looks...it's just not my taste.
I don't think they've even started, yet, on my DAH I ordered last week, but when they do I hope I'm able to catch a glimpse of him here. He shouldn't be too hard to pick out. I had ordered the 2012 Equilocity Appaloosa with the 2013 blaze and one medium sock with hoof stripes, but until yesterday I thought I'd ordered him in black. Well, I called Stone yesterday to make sure they'd gotten my email about wanting the short m/t ISH because I hadn't heard back and while I had her on the phone I wanted to verify they had the correct options and I said black and she said they had me down for Silver Bay. Huh? Oh yeah! I'd forgotten that was what I'd ordered. hahahaha. So, if you're "friends" with Peter Stone Horses on FB and you happen to catch one of their preview photos of a Silver Bay 2012 Equilocity Appaloosa with a 2013 blaze and one white sock...that's probably mine!
Well, I guess I'd better get to work. I have quite a few things to wrap up today since I'm out next week (yippee!). Have a great Friday!
Still here...
Hi gang. I know I've been kind of quiet lately, but I haven't really had much to blog about. Thanksgiving was nice. We had a turkey and several sides. My brother invited a buddy of his over. Then everyone took naps and I was left to clean it all up. That didn't make ME very Thankful. But I was Thankful for another year of relative good health for my mom and brother and myself.
Last week, my brother found out he has Bell's Palsy and was out of work for about a week because he works customer service and talks on the phone, but he couldn't talk very well so he couldn't go to work. He finally was able to go back yesterday, but when I left the house this morning he still wasn't up so I don't know what's up with that. He starts a new job in mid-January so I know he's not real eager for his current one, but considering last week he said he'd rather be at work than home with BP, I don't know...Not much is known about Bell's Palsy so we don't know if this was a one-time thing or if it's something he'll have to deal with on into the future. I hope not. But if it was just a "simple" inflammation, why give it a scary name that has the word "palsy" in it? He's super sensitive about it, too. I've always made strange expressions with my face and now when I do he asks if I'm mocking him. I don't even realize I'm doing it because I've been doing it for so long. I just don't know.
On the horse front, last week I decided to order another Peter Stone Design-A-Horse to make up for not being able to get anything at the warehouse sale due to my car deciding to get a flat tire. I went for the $10 Equilocity pattern from 2012
but ordered it in black with the 2013 blaze and one medium sock on the front left leg with hoof stripe. I never get glossy. Anyway, so yesterday I get an email from someone at Stone saying I had selected "Custom Body" from the drop-down menu but didn't select a body and if I just reply back to the email or call them with my body choice, she can PayPal me an invoice. What? I don't think so. So I replied back saying I assumed the pattern came on the short mane/tail ISH body and that's what I wanted and was it going to cost me extra because they've already charged my debit card for what I've ordered. I'm not going to pay another $50+ for a custom body. So now I'm waiting to see what the answer to that question is. For shits and grins I went back and ordered the same thing but selected the short m/t ISH and it gave me the same price I already paid so we'll have to see. If it's going to cost me extra hopefully they'll let me cancel the order. I want the horse and I could afford a minor charge, but it'd be on principle. I need to stop impulse buying models. hahaha. I was treating myself, though, because I worked OT last week and felt I "deserved" a new pretty. hahaha.
So, Christmas is next Wednesday. I have the entire week off. We already had Tuesday and Wednesday off from work and I won my unit's lottery to get the rest of the week. I was going to go to Tucson on Sunday, but my credit card decided it was the perfect time to charge me the yearly fee so there went those plans. I'm going to try to clean up my model horses...literally. Dust them. Plus organize them. Try to get all my Stablemates in one spot, too. On Thursday or Friday I'll go horse hunting again. Hopefully I'll have better luck than my last trip. Not even the domestic horses cooperated for pictures. Oh well. That happens now and then. I did get a Tonto Pass, though, so now I don't have to worry about getting in trouble for not having one when I enter the national forest areas.
Our weather has really warmed up, too. It was 79 yesterday. Ugh. I really dislike Arizona sometimes. I want snow!
Stone Warehouse Sale...
Well, tomorrow Stone Horses is having a warehouse sale. It's predominantly for people who can attend in person, but they will have people available to take phone orders. I looked at the horses they were going to have available and was all fired up when I saw the Ideal Stock Horse models they were going to have...
Aren't they pretty? I just want all of them! The first two are probably going to be more expensive than the second two, but I'd take any of them. And I was hoping to buy at least one of them...until this morning. I was driving to work and was making a left turn from one road to another when suddenly my tire felt bumpy. Knowing it was under warranty, I still wasn't too worried. I pulled off the road into a parking lot and called the auto club. Yes, I can change my own tire, but it was 39 degrees outside and I just didn't feel like it. Besides, I work in an office and I don't think they would've appreciated me showing up smelling like I'd been working on a car because while I can change a tire, it takes me awhile and I would've worked up a sweat doing so. So why not let the auto club do it? Since my spare tire is only a donut, I had to go to the tire place right away. I had already called work and told them I'd be late, but the tire place didn't open until 8 and it was 6:30 when all this was happening. So I got to sit in the parking lot of the tire place for an hour. Fun! Fortunately, though, my next door neighbor is one of the service writers and as soon as they were open he came out to help me (he'd seen my car when he'd gotten to work). Anyway, the bad news was that my tire was worn down and not eligible for free replacement. I would need a new one for $64. Not a major deal, but apparently my other front tire was wearing down the same way and would need to be replaced soon, too. I should also look into having my alignment checked. Great. The dollar signs just kept adding up. I told him that would have to wait until pay day (they don't do that there anyway) and he said he'd see if they had any used tires if I was willing to get those. Sure. No problem. Then he remembered he had two tires at home that would fit my car and he didn't need them and he didn't want them to go to waste. So he ran home and got them. I did end up having to spend $53, though, when he asked if I wanted to convert my donut tire, which was wearing out, too, to a full-sized spare. Sure! So, while I lost my pony spending money for tomorrow, I got two new/used tires for free and I now have a full-sized spare. Yay! Not to bad. And I ended up only being 2 hours late for work. No big deal.
I'm bummed about not being able to do the warehouse sale tomorrow, but maybe the 4 models above will eventually go into "Overstock" or something and I can buy one of them there. We'll have to see. I shouldn't be spending that much money anyway. And no, buying the tire didn't take all my money from my bank account...I'm not that broke. hahahaha. But I need money for other things, you know? Oh, the joys of being a grown-up.
The weather is supposed to be cold all weekend. I wonder if we'll turn on the heater at all. I thought it would've been warranted this morning, but...It was supposed to only be a high of 47 on Sunday, but now they're saying it'll be 52. We'll see which one it'll turn out being. I don't have any major plans. Grocery shopping on Sunday as usual.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will leave you with pictures of some really beautiful horses. I forget if they're Hanoverians or American Warmbloods. I know I was looking at pictures of both...

December 5th...
I couldn't think of a good enough title so the date will have to do. I know I've been kind of lax in blogging lately, I just haven't had much to say. Thanksgiving was last week. My mom made a turkey and a bunch of sides. My brother had a buddy of his over. We've always had "strays" when we've hosted dinner at our house, and occasionally when it was at my parents' house up north. It's just the 3 of us now and my mom lives with us so there is no alternating homes for holiday dinners. Christmas dinner is usually just family, though. Last year we had prime rib and I think that's what's on the menu this year, too. I hope so. hahaha.
Today is the annual holiday buffet at work. I didn't go. I haven't gone in several years. I just don't enjoy getting there and getting my food then trying to find a place to sit. If I find an empty table, I grab that one and other people come and sit down, but they don't socialize with me. I'm in a different location than where the buffet is held so I don't know them and they don't know me. They talk to their co-workers and friends and I just sit there. If I'm not able to find an empty table then I have to try to find a place to sit and I'm quite shy about stuff like that. It's just easier not to go. The people in my unit, they have their little groups and they don't invite me to join them. Oh well. I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, just explaining why I don't go. The food isn't that good anyway and I don't like having to ride the bus they hire to take us from my building to the other one up the street. Oh well. My unit is having its own holiday gathering. We're ordering from NYPD Pizza and we're going to watch a movie. We're also going to do a Secret Santa. Usually they do a White Elephant and I don't participate in that because I don't like the concept of being able to take away someone else's gift if you like that one better than one you might get. So I'm glad we're having a regular Secret Santa and everyone who is participating has a list up at their desk. The first things on my list are probably the least likely I'll get because they have to be ordered from a web store. It's one I order from often and have been wanting these items but decided to put them on my list. One of the items is a cute cell phone holder...
and the other is a bento box from Amazon...
The third item is also a bento box from the same website as the cell phone holder. On my list I put the web address and the name of the items so hopefully they're easy to find. We'll see. I know I will be happy with whatever I get. I also put on there gift cards for Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes. The only thing I can use the iTunes on is my iPad mini since my mp3 player is by Sanyo and my laptop doesn't like iTunes. hahaha.
I have a confession to make...I'm addicted to horse pictures. Even though I have tons of them, I keep looking for more. Several times a week. And when I have enough of them built up, I have them printed. Originally I started collecting them to use as inspiration to get back into riding shape, but now I can't stop myself from collecting them and having them printed. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all these pictures. I'm rather picky about them, though. I prefer the shots taken from the saddle with the horse's ears visible, but there has to be a certain amount of the ears visible
(gee whiz info: I know the girl in the middle)
I don't like too much of the head showing or just half the head/neck because the horse is off-center. Now I've started collecting ones that are a bit different and interesting...
(wild horses from the Salt River herd)
I wish I could stop myself from looking for the pictures and having them printed because I really don't know what I'm going to do with them. <sigh> Oh well.
Today the weather has been really cold the past couple of days. It's only supposed to get to be 56 today. It was 46 when I left for work. They're getting snow up north in Flagstaff, which is only about a 2 1/2 hour drive from where I live. I wish it snowed more often at 2500 feet because that's close enough for me to drive to without having to worry about lots of hills and my car potentially breaking down. It's supposed to get colder in the coming days. I can't wait!

I want one!!!!!!!!
The Fresno Chaffee Zoo in Fresno, CA is having a cool fundraising campaign right now called Change for Cheetahs. They're trying to raise money to help build a new multi-species exhibit for African animals and an anonymous donor will match up to $1,000 of all change collected during the first week of Zoo Lights. The new exhibit will be:: (from their Facebook page)
"A series of new African exhibits, many multi-species, that together will emulate the African plains and savannas. African Adventure will be a brand new, state-of-the-art home for a pride of African lions, a family herd of African elephants, white rhinos, a brand new giraffe feeding station with 360 degree views of the savanna, a new dine-in restaurant called Kopje Lodge and, of course, cheetahs complete with a cheetah run!"
Very cool! Especially about the Cheetahs and Cheetah Run. I got to see the original Cheetah Run Safari at the San Diego Wild Animal Park a few years ago and it was amazing.
Anyway, fundraising isn't any bit new thing for zoos. Since most of them are non-profit, they always seem to be having some sort of fundraising going on to help improve the lives of the animals in their care. What Fresno Chaffee is doing that makes it a bit unique is their method of collecting money...
They had these "little" paw print banks made and when you fill it up you take it to the zoo to turn in the money then fill it up some more. At the end of the campaign, you get to keep the bank. I wrote on their FB page that I wanted a bank but was outside the area but I'd still be willing to raise money for the new exhibit. I doubt they'll give me one, but I'd LOVE to have one. They're so cute and I'm a sucker for Cheetahs!
Kiburi
If I knew someone who lived in that area I'd ask them to get me one, but...I know nobody in Northern California. Oh well. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll be willing to send me one.
Anyway, they're supposed to break ground for the new space next month with a completion date of Summer 2015. I've been wanting to go back to the Bay Area and now I've got good motivation to save for it. I don't know that Fresno Chaffee currently has Cheetahs so that would be neat to have another zoo with them. And I've never been to that zoo or any of the others in Northern California. My zoo travels have really taken a nose dive. For awhile there I was visiting a bunch of different ones, but it's been a couple of years since I've been to a new one. If my friend comes out from Utah next month maybe I can talk her into a drive up to Bearizona...I know she's been wanting to go since I told her about it. It's been open for about 3 years now and I have yet to visit, but with someone else driving (it's about a 3 to 3 1/2 hour drive) I think I can handle it. hahaha.
Today's Blog Post is Brought To You By the Letter..."R"
"R" is for rain, which is what we're having today and I didn't want to bring my camera from my car to the building where I work as I don't have adequate protection for it. Yes, I have an umbrella, but it doesn't work very well when it's windy and pushing the rain sideways.
I had yesterday off and went out horse hunting...I took this picture with my cell phone...A cute little Section D Welsh Cob I found near one of the lakes in Papago Park...
It's supposed to rain for most of the weekend. Oh joy! Today we're very short-staffed. Double oh joy! The owner of No Line Farms blog, Christine, posted a photo for me on her blog of a horse in a field being snowed on...they're getting snow and I'm getting rain. We're getting snow about 2 1/2 hours north of us in Flagstaff, but all we have is rain. Where's the justice in that, I ask you?
I'll hopefully have more pictures from yesterday's exploits for you on Monday...Have a good weekend.

Hurray! There's horse pictures!
Yup. I brought my USB cord from home and plugged my camera into my computer at work and voila! Pictures! The ones I've been promising since last week. Sorry it took so long to get them up, but hopefully it'll be worth it.
Okay. So. Here's the story I said that went along with these pictures. I found a Facebook page about the Salt River herd and on it was some locations to find the horses that I didn't know about so I decided to head out to one of the locations in hopes of spotting them. When I got to the river, though, there was no sign of them. I was bummed, to say the least. I might have hung around a bit to wait and see if they showed up, but there were signs all over the place stating you needed a Tonto Pass if you planned to park your car and I hadn't been able to get one so I didn't want to stay in one place too long and potentially get a ticket. So I left and got back out on the road, which led me to my discovery...as the road curved around towards the Beeline Highway, I happened to look over and...O.M.F.G!!!!! A BIG herd. But I didn't stop right away. Don't ask me why, but I didn't. I got out on the Beeline heading back south towards Fountain Hills and where I'd seen the other herds but I kept thinking about the big one I'd just seen and how there was a nice big place to park on the side of the road so I got turned around and went back. Because I didn't want to startle them, I parked a little ways down the road and got out to walk in on foot. They were in a little small gulley and there was a wire fence near the road so I just stayed up on the road. There were a couple of youngsters. This foal and its mom were a little ways away from the herd...
They were more towards where I'd parked so I got pictures of them first. They were just hanging out. Didn't seem too disturbed by my presence. I tried to be as quiet as I could and they didn't even twitch. Then I went to check out the rest of the herd and I saw my first greys. I'd seen pictures of them, but had only seen chestnuts and bays up until that point so I was quite excited to finally see some greys...
Again, I didn't want to disturb them so I took a bunch of pictures then left them to their eating. I was smiling soooo big that I didn't care when some idiot pulled off the road east of me then honked when they drove by. I went back by two more times during the day and the 2nd time they were still there, but the 3rd time they'd left, but that was okay since I'd seen them already and had plenty of pictures. I tell you what, though, that was such an amazing experience! They all looked healthy and decently fed. There's plenty for them to eat out there.
Usually when I'm off work for the day and go out and about, I try to find domestic horses to shoot, too. I usually find a place that looks like it has horse property then follow different roads. Sometimes I get lucky and find horses near the fence and sometimes there's no horses or they're too far away. I try to find horses that I can shoot through the fence without getting out of my car because I don't want the owners to think I'm harassing their horses, but sometimes that's not always possible and I'm getting bolder about getting out of my car so I can shoot over or through a fence. Most of the time the horses ignore me...
but every now and then I encounter ones that are friendly and come over looking for attention or snacks...
Don't worry...I don't feed them or touch them. I know better than to touch horses that don't belong to me and the chestnut on top is at a show barn so I wouldn't want something happening to him just because I couldn't keep my hands to myself. hahaha. Both photos were shot from the inside of my car.
Well, there you have it. Finally, huh? I hope you enjoy the pictures. I'm off work tomorrow again so I'll be out hunting. This time I'm going to get a Tonto Pass because not only do I want to be able to safely hang out at the river in case there's horses there, but I don't want to have to worry about encountering a Sheriff's deputy like I did last time. He was just sitting there and probably not paying any attention to me, but why risk it? Happy Wednesday!
Pictures of Wild Horses!!!!!!!
Well, not quite. I brought my camera to work so I could upload the pictures to share...
but would you believe I didn't make sure I had the right USB cable to connect it to my computer? I have several in my desk drawer, but the part that goes into the camera is either too flat or just plain too small. I'm sorry. I tried. I really did. So tomorrow I'll have them for sure. In the meantime, I have proof that I have the pictures on the camera...you know, in case you're beginning to doubt their existence...hahaha. I apologize in advance for their crappiness, but it's the best I could do using my cell phone. Tomorrow. For sure I'll have the pictures up to share tomorrow. I'd better since I'm going hunting again on Thursday...depending on the weather. If the weather is rainy like they're saying then I may not be able to. I took the day off, but depending on how heavy it's raining I may do something else. We'll have to see. Anyway, on to the crappy photos!
The last photo is a group of 3 or 4 grey horses. Most of the herd was bay and chestnut but there were a few greys and this was my first time seeing them. I'll share the whole story about it when I put the real photos up tomorrow.
In case you're curious, the camera is a Canon 40D. I've had it for....4 years? When my great uncle died he left me a small inheritance and I used some of that to buy the camera. Okay, I just looked it up. I've had it since May 2008 so that's 5, going on 6 years. It still does quite well, too, except the flash won't stay down anymore. hahaha. It's been dropped a couple of times and has had waves of 55 degree salt water splashed on it many times. I guess you could say it's like a Timex watch...takes a licking but keeps on ticking. I have no idea how many clicks it has on it and I know digital cameras have a shelf life, so to speak, so I imagine it's only a matter of time before it stops working. I use my smaller Kodak C182 more often since it's so portable, but for some stuff I use this one. Especially if I need the reach. Attached to it is a Canon 70-300mm IS lens and a battery pack. The battery pack adds weight to it, but makes it more stable as well.
New Uniden Scanners...
So, as I mentioned in my blog post on Friday, there was to be a launch party on YouTube by Uniden for at least 2 new scanners. They said it would start at 12pm CST, but when I went to the link at the appropriate time, they were doing a 5 minute countdown, which was a little odd especially since it turned out it wasn't really a live broadcast but rather a taped video. Anyway, the broadcast started and we were introduced to the new BCD436HP
and the BCD536HP
Initially I was pretty excited, especially about the handheld one. The unit size is about the same as my Pro-106, but the screen is much larger
It also looks like a radio that police and fire use, which is pretty cool. On Saturday I had been looking at the Uniden Home Patrol-1
because I could take it with me and be able to program any zip code in and instantly listen to what was in the area where I was...perfect for traveling. But then it turns out the new scanners are sort of a new version of the Home Patrol, which is what the "HP" means at the end of the model numbers. Not only can you program your scanner by hand but also through the computer or you can enter the zip code of where you are and listen in. Like the current Home Patrol, you can hook a GPS device and literally be able to drive from California to New York and never have to touch the scanner because the GPS will "talk" to the Home Patrol and change it as needed for each area you pass through. Pretty cool. The base unit of the 536 also comes with a wifi set-up where you can put it in one room and listen to it via a microphone throughout your house. Pretty cool. I'm not sure what the range is so you can probably go outside and do yard work and still be able to hear what is going on. Unfortunately, that little feature comes with an additional cost and it's not something you can elect to have or not have. If you want the 536HP, you have to have the wifi feature. So, I figured I'd just get the 436HP when it came out in January. But then, I was able to get my hands on the preliminary users guide and my excitement started to lessen. I'm not a programming expert of digital scanners by any stretch of the imagination and even with using the computer to program it, it still looks VERY complicated. Add to that the WEEKLY database updates and I'm thinking I'm not liking this thing so much anymore. Sure, I can use just the zip code feature to find what I want to listen to, but I'd still have to update it weekly and I don't want to do that nor do I want to spend that much money on something I can get for almost $100 less (the Home Patrol). Then...someone who lives in Arizona expressed concern on how it would handle Phoenix PD's Regional Wireless Cooperative (RWC) radio system. The RWC is made up of 19 police agencies across the county and each has their own radio tower system and talk groups. It can get quite confusing. The guy expressed concern that the new radios could even handle it because of the interoperability, which made me start to get concerned, too. I'm not real sure where his concerns lie since you can use the software to program it like you can the Pro-106, but the whole thing is enough to make me wait to see what Whistler Group comes up with. It's already been said there will be a replacement radio made for Radio Shack's Pro-106, it's just a matter of when...and for how much. Whistler bought out GRE and GRE made the radios for Radio Shack and their first scanners to hit the market will be to replace the two digital and two analog radios that were most sold at Radio Shack. I guess we'll have to see.
At any rate, I'm anxious for these scanners to get going and hit the market. The new Unidens won't be out until January 2014 and I have no idea when the new Whistler ones will be out other than the first quarter of 2014.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine wasn't too bad. Nothing too exciting happened. Did my laundry on Saturday and took a nap. Went to breakfast with my mom Sunday then went grocery shopping. Took a nap. Hahaha. I have such an exciting life!
I had wanted to upload those wild horse photos I mentioned last week, but I was running late for work today and so I'll get them up tomorrow. :)

TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE
Got your (front row center) tickets yet? Instead of getting blitzed in the parking lot before the ASU game, come meet the Cheerleaders in the Student Store, for a Natural High that will last through the whole game
Yeah, yeah, we know what you’re thinking: “Why can’t we do both?” Okay, sure — We aren’t advocating alcohol or drugs, but, yeah, you could do have a full-on “tailgate” session in Lot 8 first; Just make sure to allow time to drop by the UCLA Book Store, well before the game starts. The heart-warming feeling of euphoria that you get will have less to do with the parking structure intoxicants, and much more to do with the genuine kindness, friendliness, and “breathtaking-ness” of these girls.
Why not come in and personally have social intercourse with the girls that you have virtually watched come of age here over the last four years? As we have stressed before, they are NOT stuck-up phonies, like you might expect when dealing with girls this good-looking (or with mediocre-looking trojans); The Bruin Girls are down-to-earth students who truly appreciate the support that they have been receiving since starting this new tradition. Their smiles are sincere, and as soon as you are there for two minutes, you can see that.
Now is the best time to go, as the tradition is still new, so the lines haven’t become a problem yet. At worst so far, the wait has been just a couple of minutes, and the view while you wait makes the time go by so fast you don’t even realize that you have waited at all. We expect the word-of-mouth, along with another Final Four run, to make these events more and more popular, so this Thursday night is your best bet for some quality face time. And speaking of quality faces, if you use your own camera to take photos, make sure to use your flash, or prepare to live with really dark results that will just kill you, because they would have been SO GOOD with a flash.
And just so you know, we have no vested interest in these gatherings, or the posters that they sell. We aren’t involved in any way. We just have had a couple of chances to talk with the girls, and are more and more impressed with each occasion. If you don’t believe us, come down and talk to them. You will be impressed too, and we’re just talking about personalities. As far as their sheer, eye-popping beauty, well, you already know about that. It’s the quality of their personalities that we can’t capture in photographs.
So come on down, buy a $6 poster (if you WANT, it’s NOT MANDATORY) and be prepared to agree with this entire article. Here are a couple of shots from the last pre-game mini-event. They are similar to previously-posted shots, but are new, and slightly different from the others (that’s for the people who “collect” all the photos onto their hard drive).
Then after those photos are some photos of legendary Bruin Gymnastics Coach Valerie Kondos-Field. Someone claiming to be her Brother (and we believe him, or we wouldn’t have spent the last 6 hours working on this project) is now a poster on the UCLA Internet Message Board Bruinzone, so we wanted to share with him (and with her?) some of our best shots of her from over the last few years. It’s hard to get good shots at Gymnastics Meets, because they don’t allow flash photography, and because the arena lighting is woefully low. But we still found 29 semi-decent pics, of which the Top 5 are presented below. We hope that she is not made to feel uncomfortable by these shots, which are meant as a TRIBUTE to one of the Finest Coaches in Sports History, with the Banners to prove it.
And one last note, speaking of banners: Congratulations to Kevin Love, who won his THIRD Pac-10 Player of the Week Award, after his dominating performance on the road in Oregon.

Thanks JP. We are really, really sorry for the prior misidentification. This is EXACTLY why we avoid using names — because we screw ’em up too often!

Pele funeral plans and location
Pele funeral plans and location -The funeral services for the legendary football player Pelé will take place on Monday and Tuesday at the stadium at which some of Pelé’s most memorable matches were played. Pele funeral plans and location
A public wake is scheduled to take place on Monday, and Pele’s remains will be carried to the stadium in Santos where he established his name.
The legendary Brazilian football player, who passed away Sunday night at the age of 82, will be transported from the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo to the Estadio Urbano Caldeira in the early hours of the first day of the new year. The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed.
After that, his casket will be put on the pitch during the public ceremony, during which spectators will have the opportunity to pay their respects to the three-time champion of the World Cup. The event is slated to begin around 10:00 in the morning.
A procession will take place through the streets of Santos, a satellite town of Sao Paulo, on Tuesday after a wake that will linger for twenty-four hours. It is anticipated that millions of people will take to the streets of towns all across Brazil to pay their respects to the former Santos striker who passed away on Thursday from colon cancer.
There is evidence that preparations for the event have already begun, since there are photographs that purport to show stands being constructed at the stadium in Vila Belmiro. The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed. Pele funeral plans and location
The city of Santos, Brazil, where Pele played the large bulk of his professional career, is marking a week of mourning at this time. The club has recently added a crown to its crest, and in 1962 and 1963, with his assistance, they were victorious in the Intercontinental Cup, which is represented by the stars below the crown. The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed.
It is becoming more unclear how the rest of the football community will pay respect to the guy who the vast majority of football fans agree was the best player in the history of the sport. The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed.
Yesterday evening, a moment of silence was observed in the Championship, and it is likely that Liverpool will do something to commemorate his death before their match against Leicester today. Pele funeral plans and location
The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed.
Pele, the Brazilian icon who won the World Cup three times, passed away recently at the age of 82, and since then, tributes have been pouring in.
The former star of the Brazilian national team, who passed away on Thursday after a battle with colon cancer, is widely regarded as one of the best players in the history of the sport.
As a result of Pele’s prominence as one of the most recognisable characters in football, the sport as a whole has come together in grief, and teams from all around the world have paid tribute to the departed forward. Pele funeral plans and location
Champions of both LaLiga and the Champions League Real Madrid expressed their sympathies to the athlete’s family and paid homage to the legacy that the player will leave behind. The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed.
In a statement, Los Blancos said, “The legend of Pele will stay eternally in the memories of all those who love this sport, and his legacy makes him one of the great myths of international football.” Pele was one of the greatest players of all time.
Competing giants from Spain Both Barcelona and Liverpool, who were both in the running for the Champions League last year, referred to the Brazilian as a “football icon.” Barcelona remarked that the Brazilian “made football better than ever.” The funeral arrangements and location for Pele have been revealed.
The Portuguese club Benfica was one of the many teams who remembered Pele with a message that included some of the sport’s other all-time greats. They did this by posting a photo of Pele with the late Portugal hero Eusebio.
Ajax put Johan Cruyff, another one of the game’s great players, alongside the Brazilian in their picture, while West Ham added former England captain Bobby Moore in their image following their epic clash at the 1970 World Cup. West Ham and Ajax played against each other in the World Cup.
There have also been calls from certain supporters for FIFA to change the name of the World Cup trophy.

Hugh Hefner’s Death: Playboy Founder to Be Buried Next to Marilyn Monroe
Hugh Hefner, who died on September 27 at the age of 91, will be buried next to Marilyn Monroe’s crypt in the Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California.
The Playboy magazine founder bought a crypt next to Marilyn Monroe’s in 1992, for $75,000.
Now, the situation has divided public opinion, with some seeing a touching gesture and others a sleazy intrusion.
Hugh Hefner fans on social media praised him for appreciating the iconic actress – his first cover girl, who died in 1962.
However, others pointed out that while Hugh Hefner launched his brand and his lifestyle off the back of that first Playboy issue in December 1953, Marilyn Monroe was embarrassed by the shoot that appeared in it – and feared for her future career.

In 1949, Marilyn Monroe had agreed to pose as a young woman, short on acting work and desperate for money. She received $50 in modeling fees.
Four years later, Hugh Hefner paid a Chicago calendar company $500 so he could show Marilyn Monroe with “nothing but the radio on” – and sold 50,000 magazines almost overnight.
In Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words, the actress wrote: “I never even received a thank-you from all those who made millions off a n**e Marilyn photograph. I even had to buy a copy of the magazine to see myself in it.”
Hugh Hefner never met Marilyn Monroe – though he said they had talked once by phone.
“I’m a sucker for blondes, and she is the ultimate blonde,” he said.
Speaking of his post-mortem plans, Hugh Hefner told the LA Times he had many friends buried in the Westwood Village Memorial Park. Screen favorites Natalie Wood, Dean Martin, and Farrah Fawcett are among its celebrity residents.
“I’m a believer in things symbolic,” he told the paper.
“Spending eternity next to Marilyn is too sweet to pass up.”
Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner has died at the age of 91.
According to Playboy Enterprises Inc, Hugh Hefner passed away peacefully at home in Los Angeles, from natural causes.
Hugh Hefner began publishing Playboy in his kitchen in 1953. It became the largest-selling men’s magazine in the world, shifting 7 million copies a month at its peak.
His son, Cooper Hefner, said he would be “greatly missed by many”.
Cooper Hefner paid tribute to his father’s “exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer,” and called him an advocate for free speech and civil rights.
Playboy magazine made Hugh Hefner a multi-millionaire, spawning a business empire that included casinos and nightclubs.
The first edition featured a set of photographs of Marilyn Monroe that Hugh Hefner had bought for $200. They had originally been shot for a 1949 calendar.
The silk pyjama-clad mogul became famous for his hedonism, dating and marrying Playboy models. In his later years he threw decadent parties at the luxurious Playboy mansion in Los Angeles.
“I am a kid in a candy store,” Hugh Hefner famously said.
“I dreamed impossible dreams, and the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine. I’m the luckiest cat on the planet.”

From 2005-2010, a reality TV show called “The Girls Next Door” showcased Hugh Hefner’s lifestyle – and the harem of young blonde women who shared it.
In 2012, aged 86, Hugh Hefner married his third wife Crystal Harris – who was 60 years his junior.
Announcing its founder’s death, Playboy tweeted on September 28: “American Icon and Playboy Founder, Hugh M. Hefner passed away today. He was 91. #RIPHef”
The magazine’s most significant interviewees included civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, and Fidel Castro.
Its huge sales were certainly driven by glossy color pictures of “playmates”, but it also developed a reputation for fine writing, with Norman Mailer, Kingsley Amis, Kurt Vonnegut, James Baldwin, Vladimir Nabokov and Ray Bradbury among its contributors.
Their contributions allowed men to say they did not buy the magazine only for the pictures.
President Donald Trump appeared on the cover in March 1990, with the tag-line: “Nice magazine, want to sell it?”
In the 1980s, Playboy‘s circulation decline, and Hugh Hefner himself suffered a stroke in 1985.
His daughter Christie took over Playboy Enterprises four years later, and Hugh Hefner retreated to his mansion, living with a bevy of women. Cooper Hefner took on a major role in the company in 2014 after Christie stepped down in 2009.
Last year, a neighbor of Hugh Hefner bought the Playboy mansion for $100 million, but agreed Hefner could continue to live there until he died.

You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me.
– Deuteronomy Chapter Five, Verse Nine
Most of you probably don’t know much about Dez Bryant, so I’ll give you the quick version. He is a very good athlete, his childhood seems to have been a collection of every stereotypical horror conceivable for a ghetto product, and he gesticulates excessively. The reason I’m interested in Mr. Bryant, however, has very little to do with these background facts and much to do with an unusually stupid, exceptionally self-righteous sports column.
You see, three years ago Jeff Ireland, the general manager of the Miami Dolphins football team, asked Mr. Bryant if his mother was a prostitute. Mr. Bryant, unsurprisingly, took offense at this line of questioning. Mr. Ireland’s defenders, almost exclusively Dolphins fans incidentally, explain that the question made perfect sense in context. When Mr. Ireland asked Mr. Bryant about his family, these people say, Mr. Bryant responded by saying that his father was a pimp and that his mother “worked for him.” Frankly, it doesn’t matter which version of events is true because the entire premise of Mr. Ireland’s question is ludicrous.
What could he possibly have learned by asking that question? Everyone knew Mr. Bryant came from a horrible family. It was common knowledge that his mother, 15 at Dez’s birth, would pump out three kids by the time she was 18, would go on to an incredibly unsuccessful drug dealing career and dabble in PCP. It was equally well know Mr. Bryant’s father had been a forty something year-old statutory rapist and pimp at the time of Mr. Bryant’s conception. More importantly, why the hell was Mr. Ireland attempting to judge Mr. Bryant’s character based on the actions of his family? Have you ever fielded questions about your mother at a job interview?
For answers to these questions, I think it is best we look into the unusually stupid, exceptionally self-righteous column in question. It is evidently okay to ignore a prospective employee’s actual choices and judge him by his family if, after the fact, the 22 year old in question once got kicked out of a Dallas business establishment for inappropriate attire and cursing, because all inappropriately dressed 22 year olds are made of evil. It’s okay to ask him if his mother’s a whore because he spent $55,000 throwing a party for his teammates at a steakhouse, since hosting your friends at a big fancy meal is a sure sign of moral decrepitude. It’s also okay if Mr. Bryant buys jewelry, because expensive jewelry also means you are a bad person. And hey, if there was an unsubstantiated rumor he pushed his mom once, well, it’s pretty clear we are dealing with the very personification of Satan.
Mr. Bryant, despite having no family or home to speak of after the third grade, has never been convicted of a crime. Mr. Bryant, despite drugs in the house and mommy in jail, pulled his once hopeless academic scores high enough to earn a college scholarship. Mr. Bryant, despite this chaotic upbringing, had the courage to seek anger counseling from his freshman year in high school. It’s hard to imagine a more Republican story of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps.
So why does he get so much hatred? Let’s look at the comments fans left.
You have done nothing to show that you are a good citizen or a good person. Bryant is nothing but a hood rat who eventually will end up broke and in jail. I guess the Rookie Symposium did not make a dent in his bad attitude. He will wind up like TO, Packman and all the rest that have no money and an entorage to support. I never wanted Bryant or Marshall, you can not fix bad people.
What would a trade cost for a ho crack addict slapper ? Two bath salt sniffers and a used jock ?
In context Ireand was right to ask, and right not to disclose the detail. Bryant has shown his true colours and he is a thug. Giving him a multimillion dollar contract is like throwing pearls so swine.
C’mon with all that Ireland’s racist crap!!!! Bryant came off like so many of these kids trying to be “hood” anwith swering of the questions!
Give me a break! If there was equal rights for all…whites would be able to recieve welfare like all the other free riders. Try making your own money…it’s rewarding.
Dez Bryant will be either broke or dead in a few years so why waste time talking about this thug. He was a bad guy in college, he is a bad guy in the NFL, I think if anything Ireland by not taking him proves that he has some good judgement. Let him be Dallas problem.
And perhaps most poignantly –
It is not a racist question, the next time a white guy has a Daddy who is a pimp and a crack selling Momma that worked for him he will also ask him if his Momma was a ho. It is just that most pimps are of the dark persuasion, that is not racist just fact.
Actually just saying that most pimps are black is not racist. A racist is a person that thinks that their race is superior or discriminates against a race. Saying that most pimps are black is an observation not a racist statement.
It would be easy, and uninteresting, to simply call this racism and move on, but I think it’s at least a little more complicated than that. There are lots of stories of black athletes from horrible backgrounds leaving said horrible background (preferably with the help of a middle class savior) and becoming “an inspiration to us all.” Nobody, after all, is calling Michael Oher a thug when he draws a holding penalty. And honestly, watch the way Mr. Bryant plays, the things he says in interviews and on the sidelines, and I get the very strong sense that this is a guy who tries and tries in the most desperate sense of the word.
There are lots of little reasons I think we hate Dez Bryant. He’s a wide receiver and wide receivers are “prima donnas” in sports yack. He plays for the Cowboys, who lend new meaning to the word dysfunction. He dances in the end zone – which is bad(?). But I suspect that the big reason we hate him is because of what he hasn’t left behind.
Look back at those comments and really pay attention. Most of them are not attacks on black people per se, but they are unanimous in their contempt for a specific type of black culture. The ghetto bunnies who take welfare and sell crack, the hordes of uneducated boys destined to spend their lives in prison, the girls who have three kids by the time they’re 18, the fact that a disproportionate number of pimps are, in fact, black men from inner cities. And it’s not just conservatives who have reason to hate this subculture, gangster rap is the only mainstream form of entertainment where men – you stay classy Lil Wayne – can perform, with impunity, lyrics like this. “Real niggas, fuck these haters, These hoes got pussies like craters, Can’t treat these hoes like ladies, man… Pussy, money, weed, codeine. She say my dick feel like morphine. I hope my name tastes like sardines to these niggas.” Anyone who likes women would be at least uneasy with the ghetto subculture, and they should be. It’s the same for anyone who really wishes we’d stop referring to black men as niggers.
I wonder if we hate Dez Bryant because he hasn’t abandoned his mother. I wonder if we hate Dez Bryant because we see him as representative of violence, decay and pride of a very icky sort. I wonder if we still secretly believe in the sins of the father.

First of all I have to state that I don’t hate this man simply because I’ve never heard of this man. That said, however, I fully understand where you are coming from, and being a product of the inner city and a dysfunctional family with far too much experience with psychological disorders, and being a survivor of three attempts on my life by the time that I was 8 years old, and living with PTSD that was left untreated between the ages of 8-45, I can sympathize extremely with the man you have introduced me to here. As such, I have no trouble believing that a large percentage of the people who do know who this man is, and are at least somewhat aware of his back-story, may indeed hold some negative feelings towards him. Why? Because exactly as in my case, unless a person has first-hand experience with the horrors that some people unfortunately have to grow up with, and attempt to overcome in their lives, they simply find themselves disbelieving the reports, which makes the one doing the reporting out to be a liar, and nobody likes a liar. Besides, rather than have to deal with the question of how such terrible things could possibly have happened to an individual without someone taking notice, and putting into place preventative measures, and then having to deal with the matter of whether or not this grown-up individual who now has no skills whatsoever at dealing with the world around him should rightfully be able to expect some help from the same society that let them down so badly in the first place, it’s just much easier to label that individual as a trouble-maker, or a liar, or a thug, or any other category that allows the average person to justify continuing in their failure to meet that individual’s needs. So, I don’t really think they hate him, they’re just doing what they have to do, so that they won’t have to be the one’s who are asked to help him.

Excellent point. I think you are, in essence, describing the fundamental attribution error, which I agree is a huge part of the problem people like Dez Bryant face.

My Mom was not the best. She was smart enough to allow me to be adopted by my aunt and uncle. Upstanding, hardworking, christian,middle class from a small town. I thank God everyday she made that choice. I had a great childhood and I forgave her and we got along well all the way to her death. I came to love her.
That was very brave of your mother.

His story makes me both incredibly sad, and also incredibly proud of the man he’s become. ITs so easy for folks to judge without ever wondering who might they be today had they walked a mile in his shoes.

Is C Major Pentatonic the Same as A Minor Pentatonic: The Scale Notes & Tab on Harmonica & Guitar
If you have been playing an instrument and started learning some scales, you may have noticed that a handful of scales have some shared notes. In fact, there are some that end up suspiciously similar to others. A minor (Am), for example, is incredibly similar to C Major. Taking a look at their Pentatonic Scales, they have all the same notes. So you may be asking: What is the Difference between C Major vs A Minor Pentatonic Scales?
The difference is the starting note, or the root note. In music theory, this is the 1. All other notes in the key must have some relation with this root note, this number 1. For C Major Pentatonic Scale Notes, A is the 6th note.
So they have different starting points, different homes. What we want to know is this: Is C Major Pentatonic the Same as A Minor Pentatonic?
The easy way to answer this is by acknowledging that they are basically the same, except for different home points, or root notes.
The more complex way of looking at it is by observing the different purposes of having each of these keys. Where C Major tends to be a pretty standard, happy, and chime-y key, A Minor is a bit more melancholy feeling. Though their notes are the same, different purposes, intended sounds, and home notes suggest that they are technically different, though if you discount technicalities, they are basically the same.
How to Play Pentatonic Scales on Harmonica
Enough about the differences we can dialogue about; let’s look at some of the things that may change as you play.
Here’s how you would play a diatonic harmonica in a major key for the pentatonic scale, playing one note at a time:
And here is how a diatonic harmonica in a minor key would be played for the pentatonic scale:
How to Play Pentatonic Scales on Guitar
The sound is the same, and for guitar, the shape is the same as well. Here is the scale in C Major:
Compared to the A Minor Pentatonic Scale:
Seeing the tabs on guitar can bring clarity to why people thing the two scales are the same.

Things to do in Marseille
As the second largest city in France, there are plenty of things to do in Marseille to keep you entertained when you visit.
As the oldest city in the country, you may not be surprised to know that many of the things to do in Marseille include discovering the destination’s impressive history.
Located on the sunny and sophisticated French Riviera, Marseille is a popular spot for those searching for a break that is both stylish and classy, and with a number of beaches, eateries, and a great nightlife on offer it is easy to see why so many people travel here.

Explore Impressive Buildings
One of the most fascinating things to do in Marseille is to explore some of the impressive buildings that are scattered around the city. Due to its age, you will find examples of a whole range of different types of architecture from a number of periods in Marseille which make it especially interesting.
The Notre Dame de la Garde sits on top of a hill overlooking both the city and the sea, so not only is the building impressive itself, but the views it offers are simply amazing too. The interior of the basilica has been decorated with mosaics, murals, and coloured marble, plus there is a 9.7m tall gilded statue of ‘La Bonne Mère’ on a 12m-high pedestal to admire.
Marseille Cathedral, or Cathedrale de la Major, is also worth a visit as it is a national monument of France and the only cathedral built in the country during the 19th century. The building itself is fascinating as it is actually made from two buildings combined: Old Major and New Major. Old Major was built in the 4th century so has survived for many years, and the cathedral can hold 3,000 people which tells you just how large and impressive the building is.
Discover Marseille’s Culture
Marseille’s rich history means that every part of the city has a story to tell, and you can easily immerse yourself into its culture by visiting some of its most vibrant and energetic areas.
No trip to Marseille is complete without a trip to the Vieux Port, the old port, which is the perfect place to sit and relax while you watch the world go by. Each day you will see fishermen bringing in their haul to be sold at the seafood market, and there are plenty of lovely restaurants where you can indulge in delicious seafood dishes which have been expertly cooked for you.
Another area of Marseille where you will find lots to see and do is Le Panier, a lively and atmospheric place that claims to be the oldest urban quarter in Marseille. Spend time wandering around boutiques and craft shops, explore museums, admire impressive street art, and even see where Napoleon used to live.
Museums in Marseille
You’d expect the oldest city in France to have a number of museums to explore, and Marseille doesn’t disappoint. One of the most interesting museums in the city is the MuCEM, which covers everything you could ever wish to know about Mediterranean culture and history. The museum offers information through exhibitions, short films, and lectures, and is spread out across three buildings, the newest of which has a modern and contemporary design.
Art fans shouldn’t miss the chance to visit the Musée des Beaux Arts, which is full of paintings, drawings, and sculptures created between the 16th and 19th centuries, including work by some of the greatest Italian and French Masters. The museum also boasts a number of temporary exhibitions, and a park which is one of the few green areas in the city so can get busy during the summer months.
Les Calanques is a national park located along the coast between Marseille and Cassis and offers a very different experience to that of being in the city. With its limestone cliffs and picturesque bays, Les Calanques offers a great place to relax, and can only be reached via boat or kayak unless you are a confident hiker!
Nature lovers will be fascinated by the plants that have made the limestone cliffs their home, and you will be able to spot a number of different animals during your time here too. The park is closed mid-summer due to a risk of fire, but it is a beautiful place to visit any other time of the year.

Updated: Bike Commute Data Released
September 29, 2014/Ken McLeod
UPDATE: We’ve released an extensive analysis of the new bike commuting data in a new report called “Where We Ride: An Analysis of Bicycle Commuting in American Cities.” Click here to download it (PDF), or scroll through the report below.
This morning, the American Community Survey (ACS) released new data on bicycle commuting in the United States.
The ACS is a major data source used by communities throughout the nation to plan investments and services. These figures estimate the number of commutes by all transportation modes and does not estimate non-commute trips.
According to the ACS, 0.62% of commutes are made by bicycle in 2013, which represents a modest 0.5% increase from 2012. In total, the Census Bureau estimates that there were 882,198 bicycle commuters in 2013.
Since 2000, ACS data shows a 62% increase in bicycle commuting. According to a report from the Census Bureau released this spring, bicycle commuting is the fastest growing commuting mode in the last decade.
Looking at the gender breakdown, the data shows the total number of women bike commuters in 2013 grew to 238,052 — a slight increase from 2012. According to ACS data, 95,569 more women regularly commuted by bike in 2013 than in 2006.
In coming weeks, we’ll share additional data and details on the demographics of bike commuting in different types and sizes of communities. Today, check out our listing of the 70 largest cities with the highest share of bike commuters, with data going back to 1990. Download it here.
Congratulations to New Orleans, Houston and Pittsburgh — all of which saw significant year-to-year jumps in bike commuting.

"Training at the Knight Campus takes a very different approach than other institutions. Starting with Impact Week, trainees find themselves in a safe and fun environment where they can develop cohort cohesion while mastering the art of storytelling. Through the Research Immersion system, students can also take time to explore research in other labs, helping them diversify their skill set while establishing connections for future collaborations. "
Hometown: Marietta, Georgia
Undergraduate Major: Biomedical Engineering, Mississippi State University (2022)
"A few of my favorite courses during my undergrad were my mechanical engineering classes. For an unexplainable reason, they just made perfect sense to me. Bone is where our bodies get their structure and operate similarly to the scaffolds in the buildings around us. I am interested in learning how to apply my mechanical and biological engineering backgrounds to regenerate bone tissue and explore how various external forces affect its integrity."

"I am interested in applying 3D printing to medical technologies. At an early age I had strong interests in both mechanical engineering and medicine, and I looked forward to the day where I could do meaningful work that combined these areas. Upon discovering 3D printing, I knew I had found the perfect area for me. It was only fitting, seeing as I recall explaining to my fellow 5th graders what a RepRap printer was. I found that the Knight Campus is the home of several labs that work with 3D printing in bioengineering applications. I also had the opportunity to visit before committing and I discovered that there is a strong sense of community and collaboration here, which are important to me as I pursue my PhD and career in academia."
Hometown: Moscow, Idaho
Undergraduate Major: Biological Engineering, University of Idaho (2022)
"One of the biggest takeaways from my first visit to the Knight Campus was a genuine feeling from faculty and staff that I mattered. Faculty didn’t just care about my potential to conduct good research, but they also engaged in my own personal and future interests. My overarching passion is to provide better treatments and strategies for helping people suffering from osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease), through the application of immunomodulatory cells, regenerative rehabilitation, and innovative biomaterials."
Hometown: Seattle, Washington
Undergraduate Major: Biochemistry, Western Washington University (2021)
"I am fascinated by the potential to manipulate cell signaling cascades on the protein structure level. By rationally designing protein structures using protein design software, we can tune and manipulate pre-existing proteins in the body to function better, or to even have entirely new functions. My goal is to engage in therapeutic research to develop new methods for manipulating cell signaling cascades."
Hometown: Dhaka, Bangladesh

"The Knight Campus has the best diversified programs, advanced learning systems, excellent research opportunities in different labs and exceptionally beautiful learning environments and that is why I chose Knight Campus for my coming four years. Oregon is such a beautiful place to live. I love the combination of hills and sea coming together, and the waterfalls like Silver Falls State Park and Multnomah Falls. I have interests in microfabrication, material characterization, and electrochemistry. I've had previous experience on nanofabrication and microscopies, but that was simulation-based and not much advanced. Therefore, I want to learn about and do experiment-based research."

"While the beautiful campus and state-of-the-art facilities played a role, I chose the Knight Campus because of the people. In my conversations with both faculty and students, it was clear that the Knight Campus is filled with driven scientists who focus on translational research for societal impact. I am interested in tissue-engineered disease models to better understand the factors that affect disease progression and treatment across wider populations."
Hometown: Salt Point, New York
Undergraduate Major: Biomedical Engineering, Stony Brook University (2022)
"I chose the Knight Campus for its emphasis on collaboration and scientific advancement. I am interested in regenerative rehabilitation and immunomodulation. As someone who has led an active lifestyle, I have always been intrigued by the concept of movement as medicine and am excited by a field that harnesses rehabilitative movement to improve the outcome of bone and muscle injuries. When I’m not in the lab, I can be found on my road bike exploring the hills southwest of Eugene."
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Undergraduate Major: Psychology, University of Minnesota (2016)
"While doing my Master's in Bioinformatics and Genomics at the University of Oregon. I worked on a computational protein-protein interaction prediction project with Dr. Parisa Hosseinzadeh. I enjoyed working with her and wanted to stay at the Knight Campus for my doctorate. My research interests are in using machine learning and computational tools to speed up the production of therapeutics. Particularly in-silico de-novo cyclic peptide design. I want to take these newly developed computational tools we are creating in the lab and apply them to neurodegenerative diseases."

"Graduate training programs at other universities have academically established approaches to teaching research integrity and inquiry. The Knight Campus, on the other hand, has been eager to break tradition, instilling students with an entrepreneurial ambition and an impact-driven mentality that typically characterizes much more established scientists. As an undergraduate, my involvement in research at the Knight Campus trained me to be analytical, curious, and hungry for new opportunities, whether that be in the form of collaboration, outreach, or science communication. I am looking forward to continuing that journey and transitioning into a more independent role as a graduate student."
Hometown: Glen Rock, New Jersey
Undergraduate Major: Mechanical Engineering, University of Rochester (2022)
"I’m interested in any research relating to the human body’s locomotion from the micro scale to the macro scale. This usually manifests itself in biomechanics, tissue engineering, and musculoskeletal research. Athletics has been a massive part of my life and I want to help make being active safer for the general population through the use of medical devices and technologies developed in the lab. After graduation, I’d like to work in the crossroads between sports engineering and bioengineering, trying to advance the safety and accessibility of sport through the reduction and regeneration of long-term injuries."
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
Undergraduate Major: Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Tech (2022)
"The innovative and collaborative spirit of the Knight Campus is unavoidable. It’s the perfect place for aspiring scientists to hone our skillsets, accelerate our careers, and maximize our potential for real-world impact. A lot of my time running Cross Country and Track in college was spent dealing with injuries, which made me realize how important physical well-being is for every other facet of human health. This experience led to my passion for Regenerative Rehabilitation, where we combine physical rehabilitation regimens with bioactive molecules, stem cells, and biomaterials to enhance functional recovery from chronic musculoskeletal diseases and injuries."
Hometown: Mission Viejo, California
Undergraduate Studies: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Michigan State University (2021)
"I was drawn to the one-of-a-kind training in entrepreneurship and translational research training at the Knight Campus. Then, when I visited, everyone was in a happy mood and the environment was very welcoming. I’m most interested in protein engineering and design, and drug discovery. Therapy discovery has been a slow process. It can take as long as 10 years to get a new therapy to market! The computational methods that both Dr. Hosseinzadeh and Dr. Hettiaratchi are implementing can be a game changer in speeding up the therapy discovery process. After graduation, I want to work at a biotech start-up, because that’s where I feel like I can have the most influence and impact on the company’s direction and growth."

Category: BLAST
A wide range of formats exist for representing the comparisons of different sequences to each other: blast tabular, blast xml, psl, pslx, SAM/BAM, BED Most of these formats can be converted from one format to another. Sometimes the format is lossless allowing for the original data to be perfectly converted without the loss of information. […]

650,000 Volt Stun Gun iPhone 4S Case For Personal Protection
Richard Darell 11 years ago
I feel sad even having to write an article like this. The crime rate in the world seems to go up each day, and people are arming themselves just to be able to walk out the door, or even while staying inside. It’s bad, and even though the majority of people don’t want any of this, there will always be people who tread outside the law in order to get what they want. It is a stressful environment for many people to live in, and feeling safe is no longer a guarantee unfortunately. If you are against firearms or anything that is designed to kill, there are of course other options that could potentially make you feel a whole lot more safe in your environment.
There are plenty of iPhone cases that cater to your protection, but few pack a punch as powerful as the Stun Gun iPhone 4S Case – Yellow Jacket. It is an iPhone case equipped with a battery capable of a 650,000V jolt. That is enough to incapacitate any villain and give you enough time to call for help or even run away. This badboy is something that a lot of people have been waiting for. No longer do you need to carry around a firearm or a knife to make you feel safe.
It just came out of development, and with a pledge (in order for the developers to be able to launch the case nationwide) of just $100, you will get your very own case once it reaches its goal. You can find even more information about it on IndieGogo, which is the official product page at the current time. The case is quite robust, but not too bulky, and it is not something that will hinder you if you find yourself in the midst of a robbery attempt. We have long wished for more personal security accessories when it comes to the iPhone, or any smartphone for that matter, and now it seems the world has started to see the iPhone’s potential both through its exterior and interior features.

So last week I went to HR to try to figure out my maternity leave. I had no idea what to expect because I had been told everything from six weeks to six months of leave. I was (obviously) hoping for the six months. The meeting was very, very strange. It was myself, three other very pregnant women, and a very strange little man who seemed to lack basic social and communication skills. He walked us through a one hour long powerpoint presentation during which we asked tons of questions and I became more and more confused.
At the end of it, I asked him, “So you’re saying we can take UP TO six months off, but that 'it depends?'”
He nodded. “Exactly!”
"But, 'it depends' on what?”
"On what your doctor recommends after the birth."
"But how will I know what she's going to recommend before it happens?? What do doctors typically recommend?"
"Welllll I can't really say. Some women only take six weeks, some are able to extend their leave much longer."
Me: “Listen, take the money out of it, just tell me how long I can take off, without losing my job?”
Him: “It depends.”
Me: "So you’re trying me that when my clients ask when we’ll resume therapy, I should tell them, 'it depends??'
Him, smiling: "Pretty much!"
Basically, I walked out feeling like an idiot. I mean, I have a Ph.D. and I could not figure out for the life of me, how long I will be having off nor how much I will be getting paid while I’m gone (if anything!). After more research of my own, this is what I came up with: I can take four weeks off prior to the birth and then six weeks off after (8 weeks if c-section, but I’m not planning on that!). If there are any “complications,” my post-birth time can be extended up to 16 weeks. This is all covered under Pregnancy Disability Leave. Don’t ask me what I’ll get paid exactly during this time, but I’ll be paid something. THEN, I can take Family Medical Leave (covered under California Family Rights Act) for another 12 weeks. So, if you take the total amount of time off, it equals six months. Unfortunately, according to my midwife, by the very nature of having a baby at a birth center, I am a “low risk” birth, which means highly unlikely there will be complications to extend the disability leave. Which leaves me instead with the minimum, which is 18 weeks (4.5 months).
Now I know that’s not bad, and that’s better than what a lot of women get, but damnit, I wanted my six months off. I wanted six months to just be with my baby and to not have to work and not have to think about things other than just…being. So, frankly, I was disappointed. I’ve heard from co-workers who somehow miraculously extended their leave while out, simply by calling in and saying they didn’t “feel ready” to come back yet, but I’m not sure I’m ballsy enough to do that. I’m such a rule follower. If, after 4.5 months, I’m emotionally and physically ready to come back, I can’t imagine bending the truth to say I’m not??
As I was voicing my frustration to B that I wanted my full six months off, he looked at me in disbelief and said, “You realize you’re trying to work the system right? You’re trying to say you have a disability that makes it so you need to be paid to not work?” I thought this was interesting. First of all, I’m lucky enough that we’re in a position that if I had to take the full time un-paid, we could work it out. So no, I’m not trying to extend disability pay. I just want time with my baby and then have a job to come back to. But it did really get me thinking. Why does the state pay women disability to have a baby? Why isn’t it just recognized as a needed time to bond with your baby? Why is the US so backwards in this?
Also, I started realizing that me pouting over an extra 1.5 months is ridiculous. Many women only get six weeks off and many more don’t even get that. So, even though my 18 weeks off is protected through the federal and state programs, it only applies to you if you are lucky enough to work at a large enough establishment to provide you with this luxury. Additionally, your disability pay is figured based on a percentage of your salary. So this too is imbalanced and pushes some women to go back earlier simply because it is impossible to live off of their disability pay check. Now, I’m not political at all and I am quite ignorant when it comes to comparing political systems, so not sure if I’m arguing for socialism or communism or WHAT here, but doesn’t it seem that birth should be universally recognized as something that all families should be able to take the time to celebrate it?
Then I thought, “Well huh, in a way, it is interesting how much birth actually is recognized as something valued in our society.” Because, if we look at the flip side of things, the fact that federal programs protect maternity leave says something, doesn’t it? It says that we are going to give women the luxury to take time off in order to do a very important thing – bond with their baby. You don’t get six weeks off for other major life events – marriage, divorce, not even a death in the family. (Although, yes I know you can use family leave for these things, but there is no specific Divorce Disability Leave Act).
So what does this date back to? Why does society still recognize having a baby as something special that deserves to be given its due time? Honestly, I think it relates to the fact that, unconsciously, human beings understand that on a spiritual, biological and evolutionary level, having babies is freaking important. If we didn’t reproduce, we’d be screwed. So, even though people try to talk about it in terms of intellectual or metaphysical or god-knows-what terms to define it, I think at some level we as humans, regardless of culture, recognize that babies are very important and the mothers carrying those babies deserve some respect.
Also, I think it’s a nod to something that most people really don’t realize consciously, but again, maybe at some unconscious level. The fact is, for a woman to get pregnant and carry a baby to term, SO many things have to go right. SO many variables have to be exactly right. I mean, not to sound religious here, but it really is a miracle. Sometimes we take it for granted. But…it’s absolutely amazing when you think about all that happens to create that baby. So maybe, in its own not-so-sufficient way, the United States of America is recognizing that miracle by granting women six weeks off to recognize it.
So, to go full circle, I still am depressed that I can’t “work the system” to get my full six months off, but I realize that I am lucky to even have my 4.5 months. And…I’ll take it. I’ve worked my entire life, from high school on, and so I will cherish those 18 weeks and appreciate them. Even if I’m exhausted and cranky the whole time. Oh, and since I’m not even sure yet what money I’ll be getting paid, I’ll cherish whatever small paycheck shows up in the mail as well!

A Grey Place
First of all, I want to respond to comments on my last two posts.
I really loved everyone's comments on my post about what purpose blogging serves for us. I was surprised by how much everyone responded to this post and had so much to say about it. I think I hit on something close to us all and everyone wanted to share their own reasons for doing this. What is interesting is, it seems that most of us started blogging in order to find a community of people with similar interests or similar struggles. A way of connection. What does that say about whether we're disconnected from people in our non-virtual lives? I think it likely has to do with the fact that we all entered specific phases in our lives and the people around us just weren't going through the same things. I too started the blog as an outlet for my thoughts so as not to overwhelm those around me with my own obsessions. And, like many of you, I was pleasantly surprised by how supportive and helpful it was to find other people through my blog. Finally, most people said they like reading blogs where the voice is "real." I completely agree. I think blogs that are more personal, less structured, and put some thought (just some, not much is needed) into their reading style are the ones who attract me the most.
I also want to respond to comments on my last post about my recent midwife appointment. After reading the comments, I had to go back and re-read the post. Many of your comments made me realize that, first of all, I am terrible at writing sarcasm. I don't have anything against kale and I definitely don't have anything against baby wearing. I already know I'm going to spend way too much money on wraps and carriers. Also, my midwife wasn't really that bad. She didn't really mention chakras or energy fields or anything that bad. That's just me being sarcastic. B says I have a tendency to exaggerate. Apparently in text it doesn't translate well. So, when your comments prompted me to re-read my post, I realized...wow, what is wrong with me? I chose this approach on purpose. The only reason the midwives give me a hard time about my diet is for my own good. They are very clear that my baby is fine and is getting all the nutrients I need. They just want me to feel energetic and healthy. Soooo was all of that teasing and those jaded comments really necessary? Maybe I should shush the skeptical side of me and accept the fact that people are just trying to help me. I know I won't always succeed in this, because I do have a duality to my personality, but I'm glad I re-read my post, because it gives me something to work on. By the way, I did not make a smoothie this morning. But I did buy one from Jamba Juice. I made sure it had only fruit (no sherbet or ice cream) and I had them add whey protein. But (sigh) I couldn't bear to add the Kale.
Whatever made me so jaded on Wednesday is still going on this morning. I woke up in a grey place. I just couldn't bring myself to care. Getting dressed? Ha. Ended up with black leggings and a long black tank top that makes me look like I'm going to yoga. Threw a long wrap and a sparkly necklace on and now I just look like a person who did some yoga and then dressed it up a bit. I couldn't bother to make a lunch or a breakfast this morning because I didn't care (thus Jamba Juice and a bagel). Before I left the house, I crawled back into bed with B and just felt like crying. So stupid. Nothing. Absolutely nothing is wrong. I just feel so over getting up and going to work. I really only have a bit over two months left of work and so I just feel completely unmotivated and unfocused. I know that's not fair to my clients and I do care about leaving them all in a good place before I end, but I could care less about meetings or paperwork or my colleagues. Wow, I sound like a spoiled brat. I think...I think I'm just tired.
Have I mentioned that no one ever talks about how freaking hard pregnancy is??
And I should say that this is no where near as hard as the first trimester. That was pure hell. I'm feeling okay, really. A bit of nausea creeps back in the mornings. My back is sore in the evenings. I am having a lot more trouble sleeping at night. But really, overall, I feel fine. And I like being pregnant. It's just hard today I guess.
Sorry for the dreary Friday morning blahness. I hope you all are having a better morning than I am. Please have a mocha for me and send me some positive thoughts to stop being such a prima donna. OH, hey, here's a positive: Less than 100 more days until I meet my little boy!

Have Some Kale With That....
Disclaimer: Back when I was agonizing about whether to switch from OB care to the midwife model I explained how there are two sides to me. There is the hippie, granola girl who was raised by my liberal parents. And then there is the side of me who seeks rationality, research and, as B puts it, "proceduralism." Those two sides have clashed when it comes to my prenatal care. But, when I realized the OB care model encompassed 6-7 minutes of clinical care and the midwife model focuses on holistic, supportive care, the scales tipped. In this post, however, I am afraid to say that the skeptic in me wins out.
We had our most recent midwife appointment yesterday. We arrived a bit early, I peed on the stick to test my protein (at this clinic, you test your own protein...feels like a bit too much responsibility to me), and then we sat down to wait. A few minutes later, a Mommy and Me class finished up and a horde of women flooded into the clinic. B dubbed them the "backwards-backpack-baby-wearing-mafia." I tried to explain to him that they are called "baby carriers," but he was stuck on the "backwards-backpack-baby-wearing-mafia." To his credit, when a woman walked in wearing a Maya Wrap, he said "Oooh, those are cool, let's get one of those."
I instantly stereotyped the women and fit them into cliche categories in my mind. I think it was in reaction to the fact that I instantly felt so "out of the club." Not only did I not have a backwards-baby-backpack (or the baby to go in it), but I felt too uptight, not cool enough, and too out of touch with my "mommyhood."
Overheard conversations from the Mommy Mafia:
Mom 1: "What have you been up to lately?"
Mom 2: "Oh you know, just Being A Mom. I've had such good energy lately..."
Mom 3: How have you been feeling?
Mom 4 (pregnant and holding a two-year-old): Oh, so much better since I hit the 2nd trimester!
Mom 3: It's too bad, I was wanting to start your pilates class again...
Mom 4: Oh no, I'm totally still teaching the class. With my last baby, I taught right up until delivery!!"
Receptionist to Mom who was buying Acai-berry-granola clusters: "Oh my god aren't these SOOO addicting??"
Then the midwife wandered out of the mafia crowd. She is a midwife we haven't met before, newly licensed, and I tried not to extend my judgement to her based on her newness. From the start, I didn't click with her as well as the last midwife. She was just a bit more stilted. But still very calm and steady and nice. We discussed braxton hicks contractions (yes, I'm having those), signs of pre-term labor (nope, not having those), and maternity leave (ugh, that is an entirely different post). Oh, we also discussed movement. Is this stressful to anyone else? I sometimes don't feel him as much and then I get a bit nervous. I asked if this could be due to my anterior placenta. I feel like some days he hangs out back behind it and then I don't notice him as much and then other days he lays crosswise and he is unavoidable (for example, he loves to kick my right elbow when it rests on my stomach during therapy sessions. it's a fun little secret conversation that my clients don't know is happening). But this is where I felt like her "newly licensed status" maybe didn't serve me as well. Instead of saying "oh it's fine! that's totally normal!", I feel like I got a more textbook response about drinking sugary juice to get him moving, calling if concerned, etc, etc. Oh well.
THEN we covered my favorite topic - diet. If you remember from my last midwife appointment, the midwife got on my case a bit for how much pasta I've been eating. And I.....well, I got a bit defensive. Ha. Everytime you go in they ask you what you had to eat that day. Unfortunately, yesterday I failed miserably in eating healthy. I had a breve hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant for breakfast, canned Progresso soup for lunch, and snacked on grapes, tomatoes, popcorn and a peach. Not terrible, but not great. The midwife practically cringed in horror. So I immediately started trying to explain what I eat on a normal basis and even B jumped in to say, "Yes really, she normally eats much healthier..." But she just "Hmmmed" a lot at us and looked concerned. Then she came out with her profound recommendation to change my life - "You should start having a smoothie for breakfast every morning. When I was pregnant, I would combine some yogurt, fruit, protein powder, and almond or coconut milk to make a great smoothie. Oh, and you should definitely throw some Kale in. Kale is wonderful. It will really help you so much. "
Ok, guys, let me tell you how I feel about Kale. It's fine. It's a leafy green vegetable, halfway between spinach and broccoli that I am totally fine with eating. But, unlike most LA residents, I don't think Kale will cure all health problems and bring me inner peace. I swallowed my annoyance about the Kale and suggested that I'm not really a "breakfast person." (Funnily enough, Amanda at Poppies and Ice Cream asked me to write a post about breakfast. You can read more about how my relationship with breakfast is tentative at best.) She frowned at me and rambled on a bit more about how easy it is to make a smoothie and how Kale will rearrange my inner chakras or something and then I just couldn't help myself and so I asked, "But my typical breakfast is greek yogurt with fresh berries and granola mixed in. Is that really so different than a smoothie?" Apparently, it is.
Then, we got to my favorite part of the appointment. Where we play with my belly and listen to the heartbeat. But, even that was a bit disappointing. First of all, she didn't feel around as much and didn't tell me how he was laying in my uterus (pout). Then, she thought it would be cool to listen to the heartbeat with the fetal stethoscope instead of the doppler. Which means only one person can listen at a time. She listened, checked the heart rate, then B listened, then I listened. But I couldn't hear a thing! By the time it had gotten to me, it must not have been in the right spot, so I heard nothing. I said, "I hear nothing." She smiled patiently and did nothing. The stethoscope was really hurting my ears, so I just said, "Oh ok....there it is." Blatant lie. HA. Anyhow, the best part of the exam was that as she was measuring my uterus, he kicked her really hard in the hand. Cute baby :)
The take home story is the appointment was fine. I am healthy (except apparently low blood pressure?), baby is healthy, my uterus was measuring exactly 26 inches at 26 weeks (nature is crazy!), and all is good in pregnancy-land. I think that I just realized that the skeptic in me doesn't let me blindly gulp down the koolaid as some of the better kale-eating, baby-wearing converts out there. Sometimes I just have to call bullshit.
When I started this blog, I wrote a post questioning what the point of blogging was. I think I came to the conclusion that a blog was a place to share my thoughts as well as explore something I used to really enjoy - writing. Now, when I think about what this blog has become, I'm not sure it's what I expected. When I was in college, I used to think of myself as a "writer." Then I went to graduate school and they beat the creativity out of me and taught me the horrors of "technical writing." So does this blog allow me to delve back into words and phrases and twists of thoughts?
So far, not so much.
There is very little delving into creativity, deeper thinking, or profound moments. In fact, when I try to write posts like those, they tend to get less views and even less comments. Instead, my blog is filled with pictures of my bare belly and comments about water intake and oh-my-gosh-I'm-having-a-baby. And those posts get the comments and views.
So what has this blog become? I think it fits into a place. A place in a small community of other women who are going through the same thing as me and need an outlet to find sameness in someone else. For me, it allows me to throw my silly little thoughts on "paper" so I don't drive everyone (aka my non-pregnant friends) around me crazy talking about burp cloths. So, yes, the blog definitely fills a niche for me. I am surprised by how much your comments mean to me and how much your advice helps me. I remember the outpouring of sympathy when Monte was diagnosed with cancer, or when we lost Indy, or when I was in the hospital in Mexico. I cherished the advice you all gave me when I couldn't decide about the midwives versus doctors or when I was struggling with first-trimester-apathy. Basically, this blog helps me.
So, am I happy with what it's become? I think so. It's good for me. But, I am a little disappointed that I haven't used it as the creative outlet I hoped it would be. And that my Blog Reading List has dwindled from a range of interesting blogs about a variety of topics, to a slimmer community of people. I guess...I guess I should accept that this is where I'm at right now. Pregnancy is exhausting and all encompassing. So, I write about it. I write about it and don't try to make very many pretenses about writing about deep and meaningful thoughts. Because this is what I need right now.
So my question to you is - Why do you do it? What do you get out of writing your own blog? What do you get out of reading others' blogs? What are your favorite types of blogs? Do you think blogging is narcissistic or is it insightful? Have your reasons for blogging changed over time? Give me your thoughts.
Oh, and specifically, if you haven't commented before (ahem, lurkers...), I'd love to hear from you. I'm particularly curious about the silent readers. What do you get from reading?
Oh, and on a closing note, and so I can keep with my all-encompassing-pregnancy-theme, I am going to throw a few more narcissistic photos of my belly at you. The witty and clever Sarah at Fallopian Groove asked me a question about what I am wearing to work. Oh Sarah, you had no idea what you were getting yourself into did you? But here it is - a photo montage of what I wore to work last week (yes, I only work FOUR days in a week...forty hours in four days). All of these are maternity clothes except the striped maxi dress. Dresses are my friend now.
I have got to stop buying so many things with stripes!
Little Boys and Dinosaurs
Today Becky at Kearney Keepings wrote about having a Boy. She based her post off of an article about 20 Things You Should Know When You're Raising a Boy. Her post got me thinking. Even though I have completely settled after my shock of finding out my girl was actually a boy, I was surprised to find my gut reaction to be a tinge of jealousy when I found out our friends just had a little girl.
Even though I am now totally attached to my little boy, I realized I'm still adjusting to the part about not having a girl. I mean, I know, I know the second time around we could have a girl. Same chances as we had this time. But...right now, we're having a boy.
So, in honor of my little boy and being a Mom to a Boy, I am going to take my image of my Little Girl....
....and put it on a shelf in my brain.
And replace it with these....
In related news, I have been wanting to buy a "rocking horse" since I first found out a was pregnant. Now, I now it's silly, because a baby can't even use a rocking horse, but I want one in the nursery. It symbolizes childhood and nostalgia to me. It didn't have to be a rocking horse, but any type of cute, cuddly animal who rocks. Today, I found a sale on rocking horse-esque animals. I selected a cute little monkey, a giraffe, or an adorable elephant. Then I asked B's opinion. His eyes lit up when he saw the dinosaur. He said something along the lines of, "Now THIS is what a little boy would like!"
So I bought the dinosaur rocker.
I hope he likes it.
p.s. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a picture of a little boy with a horse. Versus the MILLIONS that show up when you search for a girl and a horse.
Little Reminder
This morning, I was composing a post in my mind. I was cringing to even think about it, much less write it. The post was filled with fear and grayness because the last three days I have been feeling sick again. And worse than sick, I've been feeling the same lack of motivation and apathy that I felt in the first trimester. This morning I had the nostalgic feeling of almost throwing up on my drive to work. The post also was going to include a tongue-in-cheek, slightly humorous, slightly depressing description of the fight I got into with my poor husband last night. In this fight you would have learned about my I-am-so-importnant moment revolving around MY baby shower and MY birth experience. In which my husband (who WAS annoying me) was doing his best to placate me, feed me dinner and not lose his temper at me. These are all the things you would have learned about if I had written this post.
But I was dreading even writing the post, and therefore I'm sure my few kind readers would have been dragged down into my blahness just by reading the post.
Luckily, you all were saved from that fate by a five-day-old newborn.
Tonight, after work, B. and I stopped by our friends' house to see their new little daughter. This is the couple who just gave birth at the same Birth Center as us. In fact, they are the reason we switched to the birthing center in the first place. It's funny, because we don't know them that well, but I'm thinking timing may bring us very close together.
I am so grateful we stopped by their house today. I was so pitiful and pathetic. But, seeing the three of them together was amazing. Both of the new parents were in a the new-baby-endorphin-high and were just so amazed by everything their daughter did. These two people who were not parents a week ago were now handling it all with such confidence and awe. B. held the baby for about 30 minutes and she looked so absolutely tiny and content in his arms and I had a hard time focusing on the conversation occurring around me because I was distracted by the image of my big, strong husband comforting this tiny baby.
Oh, and you might wonder if I held the baby? Hmm. Well, I'm sad to admit I'm a bit terrified of holding babies. I'm great with kids. But babies? Not so good. There is no maternal magic that clicked in when I got pregnant. I just don't have this natural ability to know how to hold a baby and comfort her the way B. does. I did try. Really I did. But I think after 30 minutes with B. and not enough time with mama's breast, she just wasn't having it.
Baby holding aside, we also got to hear about their experience with the midwives. Being self-focused, this was high on my list of priorities. Their birth is my dream birth. No drama, no panic, no fear. Just the two of them, holding each other, slowly going through the experience. The midwives checked her every 20-30 minutes to make sure the baby was okay, but other than that, they stayed in the background until needed. She said they did a good job of giving her enough information to keep her calm and then when it was time to get serious, they settled her and told her it was time to push. What impressed me most about the story was there was no mention of pain. They used words like "intense," "primal," "disconnected from reality" and "strong." But no one said "pain."
And so, I left their house feeling inspired, energetic and amazed. That's what I want. I want a intense but calm birth experience resulting in an amazing little baby that I can share with my husband so we can be amazed by the way he wrinkles his nose at us. Does it matter that the nausea may be coming back? Does it matter that there is a chance the next three months could be a flashback to the first three? Not really. Not in the big picture of things.
Do me a favor, ok? Remind me of that when I start bitching again.

Getting Things Done
What a day.
First of all, B.'s friend and his wife had their baby this week. They had their baby at the birthing center we will be using. I got to be there (just by chance) when she was at home going in to pre-labor and I was amazed by how much it affected me. Two things stood out. First of all, she was SO calm and it inspired me and gave me hope. Secondly, I was so excited by what was about to happen to her (and later on, to ME). I haven't heard the whole birth story yet, but they told us that it was amazing, beautiful and exhausting. Oh, and they had a girl. They were one of those couples who waited to find out and as soon as I found out it was a girl, do you know what my gut reaction was? Jealousy. Yes, I know. I thought I was over this. I felt guilty for feeling jealous. But then I realized I wasn't hoping MY baby was a girl, because he's my boy and he's my baby and there was no way in hell I would ever want to change him now. But just a strong feeling that I want to have a girl someDAY. Hoping for the next time.
We got a lot done today. First of all, we bought a dresser.
It's from IKEA, so the price is right. I'm going to use the top as the changing table, which also leaves room for a diaper caddy and maybe a cute decoration. The top drawers will work wonderfully for holding clothes or diaper changing accessories or who knows what. What do babies need? Also, I love the blue color.
We also bought a crib.
It's hard to tell from the picture, but the crib is a dark grey-ish blue-ish color. I love the color. It's really solid and strong feeling. I also like the shorter size without the back. Is there a name for that type of crib? Anyhow, we looked at different stores and this is the only crib that's jumped out at us. So we decided not to agonize further and just buy it. Then, we found out it's back ordered. Ooops. For ten weeks?? Damn. That means I'll be 35 weeks pregnant when our crib shows up. Now, I know it doesn't matter and that we won't even need the crib in the beginning, but I just want to have it all set up and ready. Anyhow, we BOUGHT it and I like it and I'm glad that decision is made.
Then tonight, I had a productive night. I made chile verde chicken salad for dinner, verde chicken enchiladas for dinner tomorrow, chopped up a bunch of fruit for the week, organized my mail and cleaned up the house a little. I also made a jar of my family's amazing marinara sauce for the new parents. It was hard to figure out what to make them, since she is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. Wow. I actually had to buy her gluten-free pasta, which is a bit sacrilegious to me, but oh well. It's the thought that counts.
Oh! And I almost forgot! We bought two absolutely adorable outfits at a baby boutique near our house. They were probably too expensive considering how short of a time they will be worn for, but they are soft as a cloud and oh-so-cute. If you look close at the yellow onesie, you will see those are actually dachshunds holding pretzels. What the hell is that? How can you not buy that?
Anyhow, it was a nice, normal weekend and I feel like I got a lot done. I'm proud of myself. What did you get done this weekend?
One more thing... It's been too long since I showed you a true "bump shot," so here you go.
In this order: 6 weeks, 13 weeks, 24 weeks.
A Day in my Pregnant Life
I wake up.
I wake up separated from my husband by a giant white pillow and I think, I need to pee. I need to pee right now.
After a near-orgasm-inducing pee, I don a goofy grin to check out my belly and breasts in the full length mirror. I prod my belly button with a creeped-out expression on my face. I check my weight. I brush my teeth with an electric toothbrush, even though I'd rather be lazy and use a regular one, because my dentist has scared me to death about dental hygiene during pregnancy. I choke down two prenatals, two cranberry pills w/D-Mannose, and a fish oil capsule. I wonder why I am so terrible at swallowing pills.
I get dressed and marvel at how much easier getting dressed is now that I'm pregnant. I don't know if it's the lack of options, the pleasure of wearing maxi dresses to work (just slip out a blazer and you're work-ready, right?), or the simple joy of having another opportunity to gaze at my tummy in today's outfit.
I eat something. I try to be healthy, but it's usually something way too heavy in carbs. I wish for a vanilla latte and settle for steamed milk with vanilla flavoring.
I walk into work and smile a secret smile when the receptionist greets me because, I'm still pregnant and she can't help but notice. I log into my computer to check emails. This takes about 7 minutes because my computer is from the Jurassic period. While it loads, I check one more day off the calendar. One more day closer.
I spend the day with my clients, discussing behavioral problems, sexual abuse, coping skills, and relaxation techniques. I field awkward questions about how I'm doing and try to act professional by not jumping into diatribes about my baby and how great he is.
I don't get much paperwork done. I spend too much time googling cribs/mobiles/nurserylighting, researching random important questions (such as, why does my ankle hurt? can I eat soft serve ice cream? how much wine can I drink while breastfeeding?) and hanging out in the bathroom. Seriously, hanging out in the bathroom is really fun. It means I can be peeing (a favorite pasttime) or standing in front of the mirror (an even more favorite pasttime).
My days are stressful. My clients have a lot of problems and they need a lot. I am always behind. I stare at the piles of files to be sorted. But you know what? Most of the time, it's okay because I have something more important to think about.
Then I drive home. I flip on the seat heater for my aching back and unhook my bra while driving. I try not to make stupid mistakes on the freeway (so far I've backed my car into the parking garage pillar and got lost twice on my daily commute). I daydream.
Then...I don't know what happens to the next few hours. I am on a current Grey's Anatomy kick in which I am re-watching every episode from Season 1 on. I eat something and wish I had the energy to cook something more exciting. Or more healthy. Sometimes we take the dog for a walk.
Then slowly, the pregnancy monster takes over my body. The one that converts me from a 5-month-pregnant-lady into an 8-month-pregnant-lady. In other words, I go from having to pee once an hour to once every fifteen minutes. My stomach seems to swell in size and get rock hard. I walk around holding it like an old lady. I get breathless. I complain a lot.
Finally, I crawl into bed. I crawl into the Giant White Vagina Pillow and prop myself up for some serious baby bonding time. I am someone that usually needs to be overstimulated at all times so as not to get bored. But not during bonding time with baby. I love feeling him move.
Let me speak to this for a minute here...movement is a funny thing. At least for me. It's exciting because...well, that's my baby! It's also reassuring because it means he's ok (is that where the term "alive and kicking comes from??"). It's also fascinating because...holy hell, there is something alive in there! And, honestly, it's kinda creepy because, again, there's something ALIVE in there!
Anyhow, after spending some time with the baby, I begin to snuggle myself into my pillow nest. I moan and groan a lot. I prop up parts of my body. I wonder how the hell I can do this when I'm 8-months-pregnant. B. comments that maybe, just possibly, I'm exaggerating?
Then I find the perfect spot. I am supported, warm and comfortable. I can breathe. I am content.
I sigh and close my eyes.
I open them. I have to pee.
Every year we spend the 4th of July in Montana. B.'s parents own a house right on Flathead Lake (the most beautiful lake in the world) and I think, for his family, the 4th is more important than Christmas. All of the kids and grandkids come home and we spend the days swimming, boating, jetskiing, floating on innertubes and laying around in the sun. The nights are filled with s'mores, starry skies, and bonfires. It's pretty much heaven.
This year, we had a ton of people. My husband's family - his parents, sister and her three kids, brother and sister-in-law and their two kids, and random relatives and friends dropping by. My dad and his wife and their adopted kids also come along. My sister was there from LA and we invited other friends to make the trek up to Montana with us. Not to mention, each person seemed to have invited a relative, boyfriend, or friend who then brought their friend, relative or child..... So basically, a gaggle of people. Overall, everyone got along wonderfully. It was especially fun to see all of the kids (everyone seemed to bring at least 2-3) running around and playing in the lake. Of course, there is always some frustration (solely on my part) with the in-laws, but I don't think anyone notices but me and B., so it's just life, I guess.
This trip was missing my Micheladas during the day and glasses of wine in the evening. But I made up for it by floating my pregnant self around in a too-little innertube. Picture this - you couldn't tell I was wearing bikini bottoms because my belly filled the entire center of the tube. Funny.
For B. and I, the trip sparked the whole "Where Do We Want to Live" dream. Which basically means, "we can't live in LA that much longer, can we??" I posted about this before and how our dream is to relocate to Sonoma area. In that post, I said something along of the lines of relocating to MT wasn't an option due to the lack of opportunities, lack of diversity/culture, and dark, dreary winters. But, while we were there, while we were breathing in the fresh air, gazing at the sun-drenched mountains, and listening to birds singing, it's easy to be sucked in. We thought about how easy it would be. We could afford to live there without stretching ourselves. Without trying so hard. We could just breathe and be.
Of course, this line of thinking stressed me out. But what about our Plans? What about....What if...But.....AGH. But then I realized, I don't need to stress so much. I don't need to know what is coming next in life. The exciting thing is that we have options and dreams. And we, thankfully, share those dreams.
And so, today, I found myself excited by the vision of our life spreading out before me in a million tributaries. I'm not sure yet which we will choose, but I am going to try to be content to wait and see.
Waiting is a theme right now. I have four more months of this pregnancy and I am happy/excited to be waiting. Four months seems like nothing. Especially when I look at how planned out they are and how much I still have to do. July includes baby shopping, a trip from my Mom, and catching up on normal life. August includes a trip to Sacramento to see friends, a possible trip to Napa/Sonoma (chasing dreams), and our BABY SHOWER! September is jam-packed with baby classes (childbirth, hypnobirthing, baby care, breastfeeding) and prepping the nursery. And October? October is just about waiting and preparing to meet our son.
So I guess, waiting doesn't really sound that bad.
Ripe Peaches
A long time ago, I wrote a post about the things I would miss if I got pregnant. All I could come up with were horseback riding and wine. Up until very recently, I haven't missed either. And then slowly, as I started to get better, I started to miss them a bit more.
Horseback riding? At first, I agonized over this. I debated how long to keep riding (some women ride right up until they can barely straddle the damn saddle) and stressed over whether I needed to stop. But then, right after I made the decision to stop, I started to get so sick that there was no way I could have gotten anywhere near a horse, much less stayed on. But now, I do find myself starting to miss it. I miss it because it was my special thing I did for myself and I miss the quiet time with the horses and the pushing myself to do something physical and mental at the same time. But it's not really that bad. I know I will have it again in my life and I feel content to wait on it.
My beautiful, amazing horse and I, in college days.
But wine?? Well that's another story. First of all, similar to horseback riding, there was no way in hell you could have gotten me near a glass of wine (or any type of alcohol for that matter) for the first 16-18 weeks or so. But lately, now that I'm feeling pretty damn great, I find myself craving the wine. Seriously. I'm craving the ritual of pouring the much-anticipated-glass at the end of the night, or sharing a bottle with my husband by a campfire, or spending a day wine tasting and slipping away into nothing but the flavors. Mostly, I'm missing the instant relaxation the glass of wine gives me. Now, I know you all are probably thinking, so, just have a glass of wine...it won't kill you (or the baby). In fact, when I was going through the stress of the Mexico-incident, my midwife recommended a glass of wine. But, in ironic contrast to my love of wine, I am also strongly against imbibing it during pregnancy. Please don't get me wrong. I won't judge you if you decide to partake. It's up to you. But I've just dealt with too many kids with cognitive disabilities to chance having to live through the guilt of even the remotest chance.
So I abstain. And each day, I miss it more and more. I think it's because, right now, I don't feel pregnant, I just feel normal. Normal enough to get stressed over stupid things, normal enough to feel healthy and strong, and so I keep thinking...hey, you know what would be good right about now?? You know what is funny about it? Everyone who knows me keeps asking, So, how's it been without any alcohol? And I think to myself, Wow, they must really think I'm a lush. So far, I can honestly say it hasn't been too bad at all. But as time goes on, I may have to admit my inner wino is screaming.
Oh, but my midwife ALSO recommended a glass of wine during labor. Now that (for some odd reason), I CAN get on board with!
In the same post where I mentioned that I would miss horses and wine, I also said something flippant like, "I know I won't miss my non-pregnant body. I'm willing to sacrifice that." Later, after I wrote it, I thought that might have been a little naive of me and I might find myself eating my own words.
But, so far, at 22 weeks with a COMPLETE shift in the shape and look of my body, I am not going back on my words. Now, I know things could change later on when I blow up like a balloon and am criss-crossed with the calligraphy of stretch marks, but right now? Right now, I am loving my pregnant body. I love the roundness, the femininity, the sexuality, the ripeness...oh god, I sound like I'm either describing sex or a really ripe peach. But honestly, I love it. I love to look at myself in the mirror (clothed or unclothed). I love to touch my own stomach and breasts. I like wearing clingy dresses and I'm even not minding bikinis.
Now, before you get up in arms and start to hate me because you're picturing a pregnant fertility Barbie doll or something, let me tell you, I have plenty of things I could focus on not to like. Such as, love handles that are prominent in ANYTHING I wear, including (probably) a completely padded snow suit. Enormous, itchy, stretched out thighs. And arms that have turned into soft pillowy tubes of dough that seem to expand by the day. But it's okay because, well, I LIKE it. I feel like I look like a real woman. (Have you ever seen Real Women Have Curves?) As someone who's been pretty thin her whole live, I like oozing this curviness. So far, I feel good about myself.
I will check back in with you all when I am 37 weeks and see if I am still loving my body. Oh, and post-partum body? I am not looking forward to looking like a wrinkled, deflated peach. Oh well.
Oh, and ONE more thing that I miss. Something I didn't mention in my previous post because it seemed trivial and insignificant (what was I thinking??). This is something that I didn't realize was a silent friend getting me through my mornings and afternoon slumps. The thing I turned to when I needed to get through a mountain of work and needed something to boost me up and get me through. Have you figured it out yet?? CAFFEINE, oh how I miss you!!
And to end this post in a sufficiently random, disjointed way (oh, so me), I just wanted to update you that I achieved a hurdle this weekend that I would have never been able to accomplish in my first trimester. I went to Disneyland! And I'm serious people, this is a big deal. I even wrote a post in the first Trimester about how the Happiest Place on Earth could go fuck itself, or something along those lines. But now? The magic is back! My friend was visiting from out of town with her husband and 2-year-old and 2-month-old daughters. How could I pass it up? It was 90+ degrees at DL, but I did okay. I was SO proud of myself. I was also completely fascinated by her newborn and how amazing she was. She kept the baby in a wrap most of the day and I left convinced that I needed at least three Moby Wraps, in 3 different colors, since I would probably be wearing my baby at all times. Who needs a Bugaboo stroller anyway??

Houston ( (listen); HEW-stən) is the most populous city in Texas and in the Southern United States. It is the fourth most populous city in the United States after New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago, and the sixth most populous city in North America. With a population of 2,304,580 in 2020, Houston is located in Southeast Texas near Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is the seat and largest city of Harris County and the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth-most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the second-most populous in Texas after Dallas–Fort Worth. Houston is the southeast anchor of the greater megaregion known as the Texas Triangle.Comprising a land area of 640.4 square miles (1,659 km2), Houston is the ninth-most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties). It is the largest city in the United States by total area whose government is not consolidated with a county, parish, or borough. Though primarily in Harris County, small portions of the city extend into Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties, bordering other principal communities of Greater Houston such as Sugar Land and The Woodlands. The city of Houston was founded by land investors on August 30, 1836, at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou (a point now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city is named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had won Texas's independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of Allen's Landing. After briefly serving as the capital of the Texas Republic in the late 1830s, Houston grew steadily into a regional trading center for the remainder of the 19th century.The arrival of the 20th century brought a convergence of economic factors that fueled rapid growth in Houston, including a burgeoning port and railroad industry, the decline of Galveston as Texas's primary port following a devastating 1900 hurricane, the subsequent construction of the Houston Ship Channel, and the Texas oil boom. In the mid-20th century, Houston's economy diversified, as it became home to the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, home to the Mission Control Center.

Does Your Small Business Provide More Than a Place to Get a Paycheck?
September 2, 2014 / by Paige Gilbert
We don’t get to say we don’t want to work. We all need a job. We all need a salary. You probably started your business for the same reason many do – to make a living doing something you’re good at; to provide for yourself and your family. But you can do better. You can have a more profitable company without adding stress and worry. You need systems that work well and generate the provision you need.
When someone says “I can’t provide for my family,” they don’t mean they don’t get to go to the movies or out to dinner. They mean their basic needs aren’t being met. They can’t pay their rent or mortgage, they wonder how they’re going to buy food, and they don’t have access to healthcare any longer. That’s having or not having provision. But there are two sides. The other is the basic needs of life that money can’t buy directly. Safety. Stability. Trust.
A job that gives you a paycheck, in a stable environment, where you feel safe, and you experience a level of trust – that’s provision.
Your first goal when starting your company was to provide for yourself and your family. Now you run a successful small business that is profitable enough to meet your financial needs as a business owner, both personally and professionally. You have what you need to survive. Well done! You achieved that goal. Now you have opportunity to make your business even better. If you have employees or are getting ready to hire your first, then your next challenge is to make your company profitable enough to provide for their families too. Your company is growing and your provision is growing.
In order to have provision for your entire small business you need to start by paying attention to working ON your business. This means you understand the craft of running a business and all the details it involves. You need a plan. Your next goal should be to evaluate all the pieces of how to run a business and discover where your gaps are:
Business Goals/The Big Picture
Innovation/Creativity
Client Fulfillment
Half a Bubble Out can help you do this. If you’re ready to have a conversation, contact us below!
Provision is what your small business needs to survive and you can start today. If you’re not willing to settle on a company that just generates provision, subscribe to our blog so you don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about having a job you love, that engages you – that’s passion.

Our family would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Thank you so much for allowing me to capture moments in your life this past year. It is always a joy to meet new friends and photograph the love you share. In 2012 we will be redesigning our website as well as integrating my personal blog with the photography blog. Hopefully this will allow you all to get to know me better and feel more comfortable with the person you’re allowing to capture a special time in your life. My personal blog is pretty much always about my family in some sort of way, so I hope you enjoy. Here is a link to my personal blog to check out my post on Christmas if you feel like reading:)

Financing Your Mortgage
Second Home Mortgage
Teamwork: Why a First-Time Homebuyer Needs a Mortgage Broker and Realtor Who Can Work Together
Roger Odoardi
When looking for that inaugural home-buying opportunity, one of the best tips for first-time homebuyers we can give is to assemble a team of professionals who’s sole mission is to find the perfect home under the perfect conditions. Whether it’s selecting a mortgage broker who can handle all of the intricacies of buying a home or choosing a realtor who knows the ins and outs of the local real estate market, it’s vitally important to build a roster filled with talented individuals.
But before you go assembling this first-time home buying squad, be sure that all members of your team are capable of working together throughout the long and sometimes arduous home-buying process. There may be nothing worse than getting into the weeds of buying a home and realizing that your mortgage broker and real estate agent aren’t on the same page and are incapable of working together on your behalf.
Perhaps the most important reason a first-time homebuyer needs a mortgage broker and real estate agent who can work together is:
Having a mortgage broker and real estate agent who are familiar with one another and are capable of communicating across all channels is hugely important. A recent first-time homebuyer who used Blue Water Mortgage told us she could rest easy at night knowing that her broker could easily pick up the phone and call the real estate agent for any issues, questions, or brainstorm sessions. And because things in the home buying business can change so rapidly, it’s good to have a broker and real estate agent who are comfortable touching base — no matter what time of day or night.
It’s also important for your mortgage broker and real estate agent to have:
A broker and agent who have experience working together in the past may have developed the perfect type of synergy that ends up making the first-time home buying process that much more comfortable. While buying a home is and should be all business, having members of your team who can make light of certain situations and can get you to crack a smile can go a long way — especially during the most stressful times of the first-time home buying process.
We can’t stress enough how critical it is for a mortgage broker and real estate agent to work together throughout the home-buying process. We can think of many scenarios when a broker may need to get in touch with a real estate agent, such as making sure there was follow through on certain stipulations agreed upon in the purchase and sales agreement or scheduling an appropriate date and time for a closing.
With over 150 years of collective mortgage experience at Blue Water Mortgage, we have learned the key to mastering the first-time home buying process is to develop not only a good working relationship with our clients, but also with listing agents and buying agents. Because, let’s face it, without all members of the team on the same page, a first-time homebuyer can and will feel lost and disenfranchised.
To learn more about why a broker from a mid-sized mortgage company like Blue Water Mortgage may be a good fit for your first-time home buying team, check out our recent blog post: Why a Mid-Sized Mortgage Broker May be a Better Fit for You. Also, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about the home-buying process — no matter if you’re a first-time homebuyer or you’re shopping for a second mortgage.

T. FRITZ/M. Kecmanovic
THE MODERATOR: Another win for you. You are the first American player in the Indian Wells semifinal since Andy Roddick.
TAYLOR FRITZ: That’s amazing. This being my home tournament, obviously. There’s no place I’d rather have these results than here. It’s, like, the place that I grew up coming to. It’s definitely really special to kind of achieve that back to back.
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. There’s these moments after you win here the last two years, I notice you do that thing where you turn around and put the arms out. There’s a look on your face, a real joy. What are those emotions like?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Yeah, it’s awesome. Obviously a lot of it is just the crowd is so on my side here, always kind of going for me. I just want to, like, arms out, smile, just kind of like take it all in.
Those are the moments, the reason why I play tennis, the reason why I wanted to be a professional athlete as a kid. It’s the reason why I do it, is that moment when you win, you can just kind of finally relax, let it all out. Especially with the crowd, I’m taking it in.
Q. A little different than other places?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Exactly. Exactly. That’s what I mean. Just the energy is completely different. I’m just kind of enjoying the moment, taking it in.
Q. You have a lot of other great things happening in your career, getting past the third round, top 20, top American, Davis Cup, coaching situation. Do you think you’re getting to the top? Do you think you’re making some good progress?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Yeah, obviously things are starting to come together. I said it my last press conference. I feel like my level as a player has gone up a ton. I’ve served really well this week. But outside of my serve, from the ground and everything, I haven’t played amazing, I definitely haven’t played bad either.
It’s a really good feeling getting to where I am in the tournament, having such a good result, kind of just playing pretty solid, not having to play amazing tennis like I did last year.
My level, my average level, has definitely gone up. I think that’s what defines a lot of us as players, is how we do when we’re just playing our normal level.
I’ve put in a lot of work. I think I need to keep working. I’m excited because I have a lot of things I can still improve on. Kind of just see where that takes me.
Q. What was the situation with the three double-faults back to back? Has that ever happened before?
TAYLOR FRITZ: What are you talking about (smiling)? I don’t know what situation you’re talking about, honestly.
No, for real, I have no idea what that was. I’ve never done that in my life. Like, I actually have no idea. I literally forgot how to play tennis for a game.
I really could have easily let that bother me a lot, let it affect me in the third set. I kind of just tried to laugh it off and forget about it. Kind of embarrassing. I think a lot of people saw that (smiling).
Yeah, I just regrouped in the third. I just told myself it was a fluke, that’s not going to happen again. Told myself I had lots of chances to break serve in the second set. He only had the one where I literally forgot how to play tennis.
I told myself to regroup, do the same thing I did in the second set, take care of my serve, win those break points. That’s what I did.
Q. What are your thoughts of coming up against Rublev? Conditions are so different than Paris.
TAYLOR FRITZ: Yeah, of course. I did win that last match. But conditions are so different. The one other win I have over him is here. So long ago. You can’t even think about it.
He’s been hot lately. He’s been on a long match win streak. I always feel like I play really good tennis when I play against him. I hit, I don’t know, well off of his ball. It’s a lot of big hitting back and forth. I know I’m going to have to serve like I’ve been serving. I’m definitely going to have to step it up from the baseline.
Q. Can you briefly talk about the evolution that both of you guys have gone from 2018?
TAYLOR FRITZ: It’s crazy. I mean, especially me and Andrey have so much history playing each other in the juniors so much. We had several meetings in the juniors. He took me out on grass one time. I got him in the finals in Mexico one time. He got me in the finals of the junior masters. We’ve gone back and forth so much.
It’s crazy just to think back. You go back to 2018 when we played here. I’m thinking back when we were 17 years old playing in the juniors, just like before either one of us were having any kind of professional results. It’s really cool to see how we’ve come up together and the kind of results we’re producing now.
Q. Even though you are still young, I think you have gone through ups and downs in your career already. If you pick one or two big wins or big tournaments as a turning point, what would that be?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Maybe it’s too early to say but I’d say the turning point was Indian Wells for me last year. I was kind of struggling on the year, a lot of semifinals on the year. To kind of break through, get a higher ranking, I was going to need bigger results. I kind of just kept losing, kept losing that next match that I needed to win throughout last year. I was struggling.
Just kind of out of nowhere, really good week here. Semifinals. Started putting a lot of things together. Game started clicking. A lot of things started clicking for me, especially my forehand.
Since then it’s easily been the best six, seven months of my career, since Indian Wells last year. I’d definitely say that was the turning point.
Q. If I have it right, you’ve been down here three times for events since October. What do you like best about the Coachella Valley?
TAYLOR FRITZ: I mean, like I said, I have a lot of family here. I played a lot of tournaments here when I was younger, just like southern California tournaments. I played Easter Bowl here when I was a kid. A lot of history. My dad is the coach at College of the Desert here. I’d come here when I was a kid for the tournament.
Just a place I’m really familiar with it. It feels like a second home really.
Q. Did you seek autographs?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Absolutely. I wasn’t into tennis, to be honest. I didn’t watch any matches. If someone was carrying a tennis bag, I tried to get their autograph.
Q. Whose?
TAYLOR FRITZ: I remember watching Andy Murray’s match when he was younger. They had him on, hard to believe, one of the side courts. I remember that, getting his autograph.
I specifically remember in the grass area my dad calling over Tomic. He came over, he was super nice. He came over and signed my ball and my friend’s ball, which I thought was really funny. Now obviously I’m on tour and know Bernie.
Q. A question about the match. First set breaker, you were up 5-1, quickly it was 5-5. Do you see that as an example of your ability to overcome adversity?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think what kind of happened in that breaker, I was 5-1, I hadn’t really done too much. He made a lot of mistakes at the beginning of the tiebreaker. I played 5-1, 5-2, 5-3 points very passively. I just didn’t want to give him anything. It was like if he’s going to make mistakes, maybe I should just let him make mistakes. He played really solid points and I didn’t do too much.
5-All I kicked it back and said, I’m going to have to make it happen here. After a long point, I got a look at the backhand line which I really like, so I pulled the trigger on it.
6-5 I didn’t serve body the whole entire set. He was standing pretty close, so I thought this was a really good opportunity to use it, give myself a safer serve that I had a chance of getting him on. It worked.
Yeah, I kind of had to change up the strategy after he showed he was going to not give me the breaker, like he was making mistakes in the beginning. I had to adjust tactically. Absolutely, it’s something I’ve been doing a lot better lately, turning it on and making it happen when I needed to. Same thing at 5-All, down 15-40, in the first set I played some solid points as well.

← Two ears, one mouth. Let that simple math guide you
A change in perspective to move two parties closer together →
When my idea, and your idea are the same, then we have each won the other to our way of thinking
Posted on March 16, 2015 by Bobby-C
“It’s amazing what we can get done when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit” (A Former Director where I work)
About 13 years ago I was asked to join a new team at work. It was a team that was charged with setting standards for Project Management that would eventually become the basis for all of the project management discipline for the entire company. In the beginning there were only a few of us, less than 10 people. Our director had a vision for how he wanted us to develop the standards and implement them, and he knew it would take some years to get them all in place.
One morning we were in a meeting with him. We were discussing some of the tools that we were evaluating, and some of the processes we were looking to adopt. It wasn’t like no one was doing project management in the company. In fact, part of why we existed as a team was that the opposite problem existed. Everyone was doing PM work, but all in their own way.
Our director wanted us to find which of the processes that already existed were the best fit to the standards we’d been studying. He wanted us to implement that process and move things forward. One process in particular I thought was good, but needed some modifications. The director looked me square in the eye and asked what about implementing it without changes did I not understand? Well, nothing of course.
It wasn’t that day that he uttered the quote above, but it was that day that I realized how he meant it. By choosing a process that was already in place with one of our major departments, and implementing it, we would gain instant credibility and momentum. It didn’t matter that the process had flaws, what mattered was that we would have buy in from that department, and they would become our advocates for change.
As time went on, we did implement that process without changes. Over time, as it became a standard practice, we used a disciplined change process to address the flaws. Today it is a robust process that works very well.
Or skunk works team had worked hard on understanding industry best practices. We knew what would be the best way to do that process and others. But the 7 or 8 of us didn’t have enough voice to implement change. At best we would get compliance, but not cooperation. When we let the very programs we were leading believe that what they were doing was the right process, and we needed to communize it, our momentum grew. It didn’t matter whose idea it was, it mattered that we were all working together toward the common goal.
Very often we all have great ideas about how to accomplish things. And we know that if the other person, or group would just see it our way, we could make headway. Too often we try to be bull-headed and push our idea, when the better thing to do is to present the facts, and let people draw their own conclusions. When we do this, when the other person is involved in getting the idea moving, then they have ownership for the change. Once that happens with enough people, all we have to do is sit back and witness the magic.
I have had people ask me “But, what if I have the great idea, and someone else takes credit for my work?” To them I say that it is important to make sure your management knows what your ideas are, and how you implemented them by letting others come to the same conclusion. In the end, your organization will benefit from the idea, and those that matter will know the role you played in not only having the spark of the idea, but helping it to germinate in the organization.
This set of principles is about Winning People to Our Way of Thinking. When our way of thinking and their way of thinking are the same, we have hit pay dirt!

3 Things We’ve Learned About Life from the COVID-19 Pandemic
https://bobbygenovese.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/BGSIGNATURE_bahamas24-682x1024.jpg 682 1024 BOBBY GENOVESE BOBBY GENOVESE https://bobbygenovese.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/BGSIGNATURE_bahamas24-682x1024.jpg June 29, 2020 April 5, 2021
While acts of altruism are nothing new, the pandemic has inspired people to be involved in ways they never dreamed possible.
Grappling with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world can seem pretty grim. We are in a constant state of disbelief while hoping for good news, but more often than not we are filled with a sense of helplessness. Still, countless acts of kindness and goodness are taking place everywhere. And although the world has changed it is important to remember that people are still kind, generous and caring at heart.
As some parts of the world begin to ease stay-at-home orders aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19, it’s insightful to reflect on how people have reacted to the past three months of lockdown. Here are just a few of the positives demonstrating the best in people as a whole.
1. Healthcare workers are the true superheroes
Doctors, nurses, caregivers, first responders and all of the workers on the front lines who have put their own lives at risk to help others — these are the people who deserve our utmost thanks and gratitude.
I’ve read numerous stories about healthcare workers who left their husbands, wives and children behind to volunteer their services at New York City’s hardest hit hospitals. Despite facing the grave risk to their own lives, they knew that patients needed help as did the healthcare workers who were falling ill themselves.
Talk about being a real superhero? To these men and women who offered the ultimate sacrifice, saying “thank you” is not enough.
2. Acts of altruism can be found everywhere
Hardly a day has gone by where we haven’t heard about someone’s willingness to help others and to be selfless at a time when most people are thinking of their own safety and well being.
Instead of exhibiting a “me first” mentality, we have witnessed many acts of generosity from our neighbors and friends; from assisting the elderly with grocery shopping to volunteering at a food bank. Each of those acts has not only benefitted the recipients of their efforts but has served as an inspiration and a call to action to others.
While these acts of altruism are nothing new, the pandemic that we are all experiencing on a global level has inspired scores of people to be involved in ways they never dreamed possible. Suddenly the obstacles of time and money have been removed and people who have never volunteered before are devoting their time, energy and resources to this precious human act.
3. We’re getting to know one another — again
Ironically, while the act of social distancing is keeping us apart in many cases it has brought us closer together with our own families, friends and colleagues.
With couples often apart during the day at their respective jobs, and children off at school, modern families typically have had a minimal amount of daily interaction. But now, under lockdown, families are together virtually all of the time — and growing to appreciate one other in a whole new light.
Parents and their children are enjoying bonding moments over home cooked meals, family movie nights, and even home schooling. People have found alternative ways to have “happy hour” through telephone calls and Zoom video meetings.
The saying, “We’re all in this together,” has taken on new meaning and relevance as we move through these days, weeks and months together. The unity and warm feelings that many people are now feeling have opened up a conversation that may not have otherwise occurred. And, one wonders: Will these unique experiences continue or will this collective happening of unity be forgotten?
I’d like to remain optimistic that life as we knew if will be forever changed by this experience of togetherness and introspection, and that we will all emerge will a clearer appreciation for our lives and this world.
Perhaps the experience of social distancing will ultimately help us all realize how important we are to one another and why humans have a deep, innate need to share experiences. It is true that people who are more connected lead happier, healthier lives. Now we know why. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5313 | {"url": "https://bobbygenovese.com/3-things-weve-learned-about-life-from-the-covid-19-pandemic/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bobbygenovese.com", "date_download": "2023-03-21T10:03:41Z", "digest": "sha1:XUK6CHRNWPLQZO7TDP7AQXFQOK2OBH56"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4375, 4375.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4375, 5228.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4375, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4375, 63.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4375, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4375, 275.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4375, 0.45804196]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4375, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4375, 0.02695115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4375, 0.04828748]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4375, 0.04828748]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4375, 0.04828748]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4375, 0.04828748]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4375, 0.02695115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4375, 0.00842223]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4375, 0.01179113]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4375, 0.0095452]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4375, 0.01048951]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4375, 0.14801865]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4375, 0.49790795]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4375, 4.9679219]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4375, 5.34840618]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4375, 717.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 304, 0.0], [304, 429, 1.0], [429, 847, 1.0], [847, 1123, 1.0], [1123, 1170, 0.0], [1170, 1378, 1.0], [1378, 1700, 1.0], [1700, 1828, 1.0], [1828, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 2058, 1.0], [2058, 2399, 1.0], [2399, 2765, 1.0], [2765, 2810, 0.0], [2810, 2972, 1.0], [2972, 3273, 1.0], [3273, 3504, 1.0], [3504, 3886, 1.0], [3886, 4104, 1.0], [4104, 4375, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 304, 0.0], [304, 429, 0.0], [429, 847, 0.0], [847, 1123, 0.0], [1123, 1170, 0.0], [1170, 1378, 0.0], [1378, 1700, 0.0], [1700, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 2058, 0.0], [2058, 2399, 0.0], [2399, 2765, 0.0], [2765, 2810, 0.0], [2810, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3273, 0.0], [3273, 3504, 0.0], [3504, 3886, 0.0], [3886, 4104, 0.0], [4104, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 61, 10.0], [61, 304, 14.0], [304, 429, 21.0], [429, 847, 72.0], [847, 1123, 50.0], [1123, 1170, 7.0], [1170, 1378, 37.0], [1378, 1700, 51.0], [1700, 1828, 22.0], [1828, 1872, 8.0], [1872, 2058, 35.0], [2058, 2399, 58.0], [2399, 2765, 62.0], [2765, 2810, 9.0], [2810, 2972, 27.0], [2972, 3273, 51.0], [3273, 3504, 35.0], [3504, 3886, 63.0], [3886, 4104, 38.0], [4104, 4375, 47.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 61, 0.05084746], [61, 304, 0.22429907], [304, 429, 0.0], [429, 847, 0.00490196], [847, 1123, 0.00743494], [1123, 1170, 0.02222222], [1170, 1378, 0.0], [1378, 1700, 0.0], [1700, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 1872, 0.02380952], [1872, 2058, 0.0], [2058, 2399, 0.0], [2399, 2765, 0.0], [2765, 2810, 0.02325581], [2810, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3273, 0.0], [3273, 3504, 0.0], [3504, 3886, 0.0], [3886, 4104, 0.0], [4104, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 304, 0.0], [304, 429, 0.0], [429, 847, 0.0], [847, 1123, 0.0], [1123, 1170, 0.0], [1170, 1378, 0.0], [1378, 1700, 0.0], [1700, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 2058, 0.0], [2058, 2399, 0.0], [2399, 2765, 0.0], [2765, 2810, 0.0], [2810, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3273, 0.0], [3273, 3504, 0.0], [3504, 3886, 0.0], [3886, 4104, 0.0], [4104, 4375, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 61, 0.18032787], [61, 304, 0.20576132], [304, 429, 0.008], [429, 847, 0.0215311], [847, 1123, 0.02536232], [1123, 1170, 0.0212766], [1170, 1378, 0.00480769], [1378, 1700, 0.01552795], [1700, 1828, 0.015625], [1828, 1872, 0.02272727], [1872, 2058, 0.00537634], [2058, 2399, 0.0058651], [2399, 2765, 0.00546448], [2765, 2810, 0.02222222], [2810, 2972, 0.00617284], [2972, 3273, 0.00664452], [3273, 3504, 0.01298701], [3504, 3886, 0.01308901], [3886, 4104, 0.00458716], [4104, 4375, 0.01107011]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4375, 0.22474241]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4375, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4375, 0.38574845]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4375, -182.12989141]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4375, 57.52879293]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4375, -234.33138176]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4375, 36.0]]} |

It is also the last year of professor Coleman Silk's life, whose own tragic exposure is played out against the background of the Clinton revelations. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5314 | {"url": "https://bookends.ae/products/be500451851749", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bookends.ae", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:58:06Z", "digest": "sha1:K42KCNW4IVDSJLL54MR72UVFG4W7ZVBI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 343, 343.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 343, 4219.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 343, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 343, 245.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 343, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 343, 313.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 343, 0.38571429]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 343, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 343, 0.05818182]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 343, 0.09454545]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 343, 0.14285714]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 343, 0.65]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 343, 4.58333333]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 343, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 343, 3.46581751]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 343, 60.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 37, 0.0], [37, 53, 0.0], [53, 70, 0.0], [70, 343, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 37, 0.0], [37, 53, 0.0], [53, 70, 0.0], [70, 343, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 21, 4.0], [21, 37, 3.0], [37, 53, 3.0], [53, 70, 3.0], [70, 343, 47.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 37, 0.0], [37, 53, 0.0], [53, 70, 0.0], [70, 343, 0.01498127]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 37, 0.0], [37, 53, 0.0], [53, 70, 0.0], [70, 343, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.19047619], [21, 37, 0.1875], [37, 53, 0.125], [53, 70, 0.17647059], [70, 343, 0.02564103]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 343, 0.00081885]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 343, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 343, 0.00076926]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 343, 0.72846255]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 343, 6.99611912]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 343, 12.5343777]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 343, 2.0]]} |

Henry the Sixth, Part 3, is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed written in approximately 1590, and set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England. It prepares the ground for one of his best-known and most controversial plays: the tragedy of King Richard III (Richard III of England). It continues the action from Henry VI, Part 1 and Henry VI, Part 2, though they may not have been written in that order

Gulliver's Travels Into Several Remote Regions of the World
Independently Published, 2019 M03 2 - 340 páginas
Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.
Gulliver's Travels Into Several Remote Regions of the World: In Words of One ...
Apparently doomed to an obscure Anglican parsonage in Laracor, Ireland, even after he had written his anonymous masterpiece, A Tale of a Tub (c.1696), Swift turned a political mission to England from the Irish Protestant clergy into an avenue to prominence as the chief propagandist for the Tory government. His exhilaration at achieving importance in his forties appears engagingly in his Journal to Stella (1710--13), addressed to Esther Johnson, a young protegee for whom Swift felt more warmth than for anyone else in his long life. At the death of Queen Anne and the fall of the Tories in 1714, Swift became dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. In Ireland, which he considered exile from a life of power and intellectual activity in London, Swift found time to defend his oppressed compatriots, sometimes in such contraband essays as his Drapier's Letters (1724), and sometimes in such short mordant pieces as the famous A Modest Proposal (1729); and there he wrote perhaps the greatest work of his time, Gulliver's Travels (1726). Using his characteristic device of the persona (a developed and sometimes satirized narrator, such as the anonymous hack writer of A Tale of a Tub or Isaac Bickerstaff in Predictions for the Ensuing Year, who exposes an astrologer), Swift created the hero Gulliver, who in the first instance stands for the bluff, decent, average Englishman and in the second, humanity in general. Gulliver is a full and powerful vision of a human being in a world in which violent passions, intellectual pride, and external chaos can degrade him or her---to animalism, in Swift's most horrifying images---but in which humans do have scope to act, guided by the Classical-Christian tradition. Gulliver's Travels has been an immensely successful children's book (although Swift did not care much for children), so widely popular through the world for its imagination, wit, fun, freshness, vigor, and narrative skill that its hero is in many languages a common proper noun. Perhaps as a consequence, its meaning has been the subject of continuing dispute, and its author has been called everything from sentimental to mad. Swift died in Dublin and was buried next to his beloved "Stella.

NelehStar Thread
I work in a call center. About two weeks ago I got a man on the phone looking for an address related to the business. The first thing he tells me is that he was born blind, something that went wrong during his birth, but that he was psychic. I proceeded to roll my eyes, and went on with the call. We chatted a bit, and he talked a bit more about some random things, and then he said, "I'm a Gemini. Are you a Gemini?" Indulging him, I said, "Nope, I'm a Libra", which is true. Then he said, "Oh silly me, of course. Your birthday is the 10th of October. That's on a Friday this year you know. "
The 10th of October is indeed my birthday. I didn't say a damn thing for about 10 seconds. He only knew my first name and that I'm a Libra. This was about 2 minutes into the call. I struggled with wanting to hang up on him or ask him more questions about my future. I was pretty freaked out. | 2023-14/0410/en_head.json.gz/5319 | {"url": "https://boomlin.de/findings/spooky/2hqjp8_0051-NelehStar-0001.md", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "boomlin.de", "date_download": "2023-03-21T11:18:53Z", "digest": "sha1:I2HP5ETCS3W6J2EKPJKDC5OG3ZK52UIU"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 904, 904.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 904, 916.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 904, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 904, 3.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 904, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 904, 212.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 904, 0.46636771]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 904, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 904, 0.01315789]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 904, 0.02631579]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 904, 0.04678363]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 904, 0.04484305]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 904, 0.17488789]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 904, 0.57458564]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 904, 3.77900552]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 904, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 904, 4.38543654]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 904, 181.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 613, 0.0], [613, 904, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 613, 0.0], [613, 904, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 17, 2.0], [17, 613, 120.0], [613, 904, 59.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 613, 0.0035524], [613, 904, 0.01766784]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 17, 0.0], [17, 613, 0.0], [613, 904, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 17, 0.17647059], [17, 613, 0.0352349], [613, 904, 0.03092784]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 904, 0.1321466]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 904, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 904, 0.0205183]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 904, 48.0880356]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 904, 21.6491853]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 904, -79.98078351]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 904, 16.0]]} |
What is Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib)?

What do black mamba snakes, saltwater crocodiles, and Ventricular Fibrillation all have in common?
They can all kill you…Quickly.
(GIPHY)
Because that is terrifying, you should know a great deal about this arrhythmia. The most concerning fact about V-Fib is the heart can only sustain this arrhythmia for 6 minutes before cardiac arrest and death occur…
I want you to think about what you can do in 6 minutes.
Take a Buzzfeed quiz
Eat a roll of smarties
Write a Mad Libs story
I could go on, but my point is that 6 minutes is not a lot of time. During that six minutes, you do not want to forget what you should do. Your patient appreciates if you are on top of your game and keep them safe.
So, in the spirit of safety and all those who are alive, let’s dive into the Great White Shark of Arrhythmias.
Ventricular Fibrillation (AKA Vfib or VF) is a life-threatening arrhythmia with disorganized chaotic electrical activity coming from the ventricles that cause the ventricles to quiver. The main cause of this chaos is a lack of blood flow to the heart. So think about what can cause a lack of blood flow to the heart? Some of the major reasons are:
The literal definition is decreased blood flow to the heart causing death to the cardiac muscle tissues, so yeah, it can cause VFib.
The cardiac muscles become hardened/thickened/ridged and scar tissue ensues, causing decreased ability to pump correctly, which decreases blood flow to the heart.
Septic shock leads the body to a major decrease in blood pressure and adequate blood flow to the body and the heart
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
The blood vessels that give blood supply to the heart become clogged up and no longer deliver blood to the heart adequately.
This arrhythmia causes the ventricles to not pump properly, thus the heart is receiving less blood flow.
The lack of blood flow to the heart cells causes them to spasm/quiver and the heart is no longer pumping blood to the other parts of the heart. When the ventricles are quivering, they are not pumping any blood to the rest of the body. Which, as you can imagine, is problematic, and why death ensues so quickly.
Because there are so many things that can cause VFib, I am not going to sweat remembering them all and you shouldn’t either. Instead, you should be thinking about the outcomes of your patient’s situation and be aware of the signs and symptoms of VFib. So if you have a patient who is complaining of chest pain, be mindful that one of the scary causes of chest pain is decreased blood flow to the heart. It will then lead you to what happens when the blood flow to the heart slows down, which is eventually VFib.
Signs and symptoms of Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib)
Because the body is not circulating blood, the person will not be conscious, so the biggest sign of Ventricular Fibrillation is loss of consciousness. The next obvious sign of VFib is that the patient will not have a pulse. Before the patient goes into ventricular fibrillation, they will likely have the same signs and symptoms of a heart attack: Chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness in the arms or legs, etc.
After you think your patient might be in VFib, you should get an EKG/ECG to confirm, and also get the crash cart and place the patient on the defibrillator. To confirm VFib, you will need to know what it even looks like, so…
What does Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib) look like?
Note: There aren’t any P, Q, R, S, or T waves, just pure chaos of varying shapes and sizes.
This rhythm is the easiest, in my opinion, to recognize. You don’t have to measure anything, because there isn’t anything to measure. If you struggle with recognizing ECG/EKG arrhythmia’s I recommend you carry this pocket guide around with you!
In Ventricular Fibrillation, the heart rate can be anywhere from 150 beats per minute to 500 beats per minute… yup, you read that right.
So how does this translate from the EKG/ECG to the what the heart is doing?
Well, myocytes are normally homogeneous in behavior. However, stress, injury, or any type of damage to one cell, or even a group of cells, causes them to behave differently. If the electrical current running through the cells gets all jumbled it can cause re-entry of electrical current.
The EKG/ECG that you see in VFib is a bunch of electrical circuits re-entering the heart at various points causing multiple contractions.
FYI: You can also shock a patient INTO Ventricular Fibrillation when they were not in Vfib to begin with. This occurs if you send a shock right at the beginning of the T-wave. That is why it is vital to synchronize the defibrillator to the R wave when cardioverting. A patient may have synchronized cardioversion if they are in Supraventricular Tachycardia, Ventricular Tachycardia, unstable Atrial Fibrillation, Atrial Flutter, or any other atrial tachycardia. So knowing how to use the defibrillator is pretty stinking important.
Nursing interventions/Considerations for Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib)
In V-Tach you needed to check a pulse first, but in Vfib, you jump on the chest and start CPR while shouting for help. The most important thing is to get the defibrillator on the patient ASAP and deliver the shock. The shock will be what gets them out of Vfib and the chest compressions are what will help sustain them long enough until you can deliver the shock.
Remember: Ventricular Fibrillation is a true emergency and you need to act quickly.
Something to note is that the EKG/ECG becomes smaller/finer the longer Vfib persists, leading to flat line. Thus if someone is in Vfib with tiny little waves, you need to act super quick because your time is almost up.
Treatment: Meds/Tests/Imaging for Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib)
Each facilities code protocols are different, so know your facilities protocols, particularly if you are a travel nurse! In general, however, you will follow the BLS and/or ACLS algorithms. So, you are going check for a pulse while simultaneously calling for help. There won’t be a pulse if they are in VFib so you will start chest compressions while help arrives. Next, defibrillator pads will be placed on the patient. Complete a rhythm check as quickly as possible, which will enable you to deliver a shock earlier and increase the patient’s chance of survival.
Initially, Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) and defibrillators confused me. To clarify, a simple AED will just tell you if the rhythm is shockable or not with one big button that says “Shock” for you to push. This is what we train on for our BLS certification and they can be found in the general public.
Unlike in the general public, in the hospital, you will have a defibrillator that can either defibrillate, cardiovert, or pace. Depending on where you work and what your certifications are, you may have a defibrillator that can only function like an AED. If you work with critical care patients, you will be Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certified. This will require you to know how to switch between defibrillation, cardioversion and pacing modes.
Defibrillation is when you deliver a shock in life-threatening arrhythmias, it is delivered whenever the AED is charged rather than on a specific wave or at a specific time.
Cardioversion is when you deliver a shock at a specific time or on a specific wave to convert the patient out of the non-life-threatening arrhythmia they are in.
Pacing mode is used when a patient is super bradycardic and needs multiple shocks delivered continuously on the R-wave to keep the heart rate high enough to sustain life.
Another difference between BLS and ACLS providers is the ability to choose the amount of Joules delivered in each shock. BLS providers use the AED and the shock delivered is the standard amount of Joules for that brand of AED. ACLS providers can choose the amount of Joules to deliver in a shock. Usually, you start between 120J and 200J but depending on the person’s size and the situation. Defibrillators are capable of delivering up to 360J. It can be harmful to deliver too small of an amount of Joules so when in doubt deliver a higher amount.
The goal of treatment is to bring the patient back to a rhythm that is compatible with life.
If the cause of the VFib is unable to be reversed then an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is an option, especially if the patient is able to be sustained long enough to have one surgically implanted.
Extended care for patients with Ventricular Fibrillation (VFib)
Patients who survive VFib, need to be discharged with education on when to call 911, how to perform CPR (especially the family members), and a clear plan on their medications as well as check up appointments. You should urge the patient strongly to change any behaviors that may have contributed to VFib. Such as quitting smoking or dietary changes.

Parenting a young child with behavioral, emotional, or social difficulties can be stressful and challenging. Oftentimes, caregivers are unclear whether their child’s behaviors are “normal” for their age and adopt a “wait and see” approach hoping that the behavior will eventually resolve as their child gets older.
In addition, caregivers are oftentimes concerned that anxiety, mood, stress, developmental delay, attention deficits, school-based problems, or learning issues may be contributing to their child’s behavior.
If a child’s behavior is causing concern and impairment in any aspect of their life, an evaluation may be warranted to gain a better understanding of the issues and, more importantly, to develop an intervention strategy that is focused on improving the overall well-being of the child and their family. Research has continuously demonstrated that early intervention leads to more positive outcomes and a better quality of life in the both the short-term and long-term.
BCSC’s Young Child Services team offers comprehensive assessments designed to better understand your child’s strengths and weaknesses. With Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) serving as the primary treatment for young children between the ages of 2-8, BCSC works with families to determine whether other services are also appropriate (neuropsychological testing, school consultation, group therapy, individual therapy for older children, etc.).
Our overall mission is to offer comprehensive and research-based assessment and state-of-the-art treatment in a sensitive, caring, and collaborative manner. We strive to provide short-term, solution-focused strategies that will provide a child and their family with clear and concrete strategies that can be implemented across settings. To determine progress, we continually monitor and assess behavior.
