(Golding 82). Jack publicly makes fun of the littluns. Jack disrespects the other boys' feelings, making them feel inferior and acting as if their fears are a sign of weakness. The younger boys' feelings of inferiority force them to follow Jack's orders, for fear of being punished or threatened if they go against his ideas. Jack's second anarchist method of leadership is made up of his passion for brutal hunting.
This is evident in their building of the windmill. They stupidly think that they are working for themselves, not realising that they are only working for Napolean. Also, the element of fear on Animal Farm contributes to their lack of questioning Napolean. The pigs utilise fear by telling the animals that if they do not obey, their old, cruel master Jones will return. In one particular case, the animals grumble
Zyana Xing ENG1D 05 Mr. Heleno October 7th, 2014 The Woeful Truth of Human Nature: The Demonstration of Evil in William Golding’s Lord of The Flies Every human being is evil. Humans believe they are not evil, but evil is hidden deep in everyone’s heart. In William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, Jack Merridew as the Protagonist demonstrates the devolution from civilization to savagery. When the boys first arrive on the island, Jack and Ralph are in agreement. They want democracy.
William Golding’s tragic novel Lord of the flies is a story about a couple of boys who get stranded on an island. Depending on good or bad choices will determine their survival in a life or death situation. It took place on a remote island near England during World War 2. In Lord of the flies, the symbols the conch and Beelzebub help convey Golding’s beliefs that it takes fear and order to run this world of ours. One of the most significant symbols in Lord of the flies is The Conch that serves as a sign of order and authority.
Chaos and savagery come as a result of men trying to find pleasure without making sacrifices. Order are situations in which humans are forced to suppress their instincts and follow rules to attain their goals. 4D. The subject ive chosen is sort of a broad idea that can be grasped by looking deeper into the idea. By looking at the fact that Golding is trying to explain that all humans are evil can tie into the Chaos on the island.
The other animals are powerless beneath him. This shows that Napoleon is power hungry by stating “the puppies wagged their tails to him in the same way that the other dogs had done to Mr Jones.” This indicates that Napoleon has raised the puppies to be his secret weapon and to do all the appalling deeds that Napoleon; himself. Civilization Although Golding argues that people are fundamentally savage, drawn toward pleasure and violence, human beings have successfully managed to create thriving civilizations for thousands of years. So that disproves Golding’s theory about human nature being savage, right? Wrong.
Analysis: Chapter 7 Idea: Strength of Pig’s “indoctrination”. Hate for Mr. Jones vs. Happy lives. The foundation of the Pig’s indoctrination of the farm animals mainly consists of nurturing the hatred for Mr. Jones and their desire to have a free human farm. In addition, the belief that the pigs have the power to repel the humans makes them as supreme authority figures and Napoleon is almost God-like to some, which makes his words become the animal’s laws without much argument.
This makes the speech much more personal towards the animals as it makes it easier for them relate to because part of the speech is directed at them. The second idea is that man is a threat, not just to the wellbeing of the animals but to their very lives as ‘no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end’. The hens’ eggs do not hatch into chickens, the pigs will “scream” their lives out at the block, when boxer’s muscles give out he will be sent to the knackers and when the dogs grow old ‘jones tires a brick round their necks and drowns them’. This idea is threatening towards the animals which gives them one more reason to agree to the revolution as they would feel threatened an uneasy if they did nothing to prevent their fate that the old. |
Gillespie, Kidd & Coia's celebrated St Peter's Seminary—once voted Scotland's best modern building—has for too long been a victim of fate, left to decay after it was abandoned just 20 years after its completion. Fortunately, plans are well underway to restore the building. This article, originally published by Metropolis Magazine as "Ruin Revived," explains how even in its ruined state, the dramatic brutalist structure is already showing its value as a cultural destination.
Modernist architecture, it used to be said, was inadequate because the machined materials of modern buildings wouldn’t lend themselves well to picturesque ruination. What, minus the taut skins of glass and plaster, could these stark, boxlike carcasses possibly communicate to future generations?
St. Peter’s Seminary in Cardross, Scotland, is a forceful rejoinder to that jibe. Built in 1966 and abandoned 20 years later, the seminary has settled into a state of pleasing decrepitude. Glass and plaster are long gone. The concrete remains largely intact but stained, spalled, and spoiled. Entire roofs and staircases have caved in. The only fresh signs of life are the aprons of graffiti draped all over the “interiors.” Yet, the sense of the place lingers, its noble forms still remarkably assertive—jutting forth from the dense surrounding forest—and optimistic.
In recent years, the heritage-protected site has been marked for redevelopment, with one highly publicized scheme calling for the erection of luxury housing grouped around the seminary’s concrete husk. It fell through in 2011, but another, more unconventional proposal forged a few years before—to partially restore the main building and convert it into an arts and education center—recently secured the funding for its implementation. “Standard regeneration wouldn’t work here,” says Angus Farquhar, creative director of Glasgow-based public arts group NVA, which will stabilize the structure and maintain sections as ruins. “We’re going to open the space to the public so that they’re able to see the bones of the building. It’s about building up a sense of ownership for the public.”
In late March, over a ten-day period, some 8,000 visitors were given the chance to experience the dilapidated compound up close, albeit by night and with the structures transfigured by light and sound. Led by glowing walking sticks, the visitors ambled through bramble and forest, damp ground underfoot, and pushed up a hill toward a concrete rampart—the Brutalist muzzle of the erstwhile classroom block and reverberant crackles of sound, akin to musique concrète, signaling the way. They then met with the broad curving wall of the ear-shaped side chapel and, upon entering, shuffled up the long ramp that winds its way to the triple-height chapel, where priests once held mass. The space staggers in both directions: Above, the former residential floors terminate, midair, in a ziggurat formation, while the platform below drops down into a shallow chancel.
At Hinterland, as the event was called, this depression was filled with water, which reflected the flashing red, blue, yellow, and green lights and rippled when tread upon by spooky hooded figures presiding over the scene. Prerecorded choral music enhanced the darkly cinematic atmosphere. “It’s sort of walking through a [Stanley] Kubrick movie, but better,” Farquhar enthused at the time of the installation. “You’re not seeing a performance—it’s all about the building. It’s the building playing itself.”
St. Peter’s was designed by architects Andy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, a venerable Scottish firm seasoned in Modernist churches (several of which have, unfortunately, been demolished). Built to house 102 priests, it began its decline nearly as soon as it opened. The conciliatory reforms of Vatican II, which directed that priests be trained in their communities and not in isolation, threw the seminary’s purpose into question. Despite operational costs and some design defects, it clung on until the 1980s, when it briefly served as a drug rehabilitation center and then was vacated altogether.
Architects have ventured in pilgrimage to the Modernist masterpiece ever since. MacMillan and Metzstein lifted heavily from the postwar volumes of L’Oeuvre Complete, Le Corbusier’s self-produced monographic series, pilfering shapes from the chapel at Ronchamp and La Tourette convent. The Maisons Jaouls, too, provided unlikely inspiration, that project’s network of tight vaults reworked at St. Peter’s with great imagination. The floating Breuer-esque ark of the classroom block, however, appears as a non sequitur—a jarring, if not unwelcome, intrusion into this reliquary of Corbusian form.
Visitors didn’t need prior knowledge of Le Corbusier, nor of the handful of secondary architectural references embedded in the seminary’s design, to probe the mystery of Hinterland. The well-attended happening, which kicked off the yearlong Festival of Architecture, is a placeholder of sorts and powerfully suggests just how the site might eventually be used for exhibitions, installations, and performances. “NVA’s project has really captured the public’s imagination,” says Neil Baxter, secretary of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and a festival organizer. “They have taken this high Modernist architectural model and turned it into one of the most successful cultural events ever organized in our country.”
For Farquhar, the fulsome public support of Hinterland, coupled with the awarding of the funds needed to continue the project, comes as a relief, if not “emotional fireworks.” Plenty of work lies ahead, with the last stages of clear-up due to begin and the restoration (by Avanti Architects) following thereafter. Just as crucial is an upcoming public assembly to establish the principles of the center. “It will be an agora, a setting in which free people can debate,” Farquhar intimates. “Fifty years ago when they built this place, they were optimistic about the future, but now the world’s become tougher. I want to use this place to celebrate human values but also to have a debate—a good rammy.” |

Building collapse investigation: Developers behind $50M project couldn't pay fine for illegal dumping
The developers behind a $50 million parking ramp and hotel project in downtown Sioux Falls did not have enough money to pay a $20,000 fine for illegally dumping asbestos in the Sioux Falls Regional Landfill.
Norm Drake and Aaron Hultgren are both personal guarantors of the $50 million project known as Village on the River that the Sioux Falls City Council approved earlier this month. Both were also key players in last year’s Copper Lounge building collapse.
Following the Dec. 2, 2016, collapse, the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources levied a fine of $20,151 against Hultgren Construction and the Drake-managed investment group that owned the building.
More:City took no action for asbestos dumping
More:Company illegally removed, dumped asbestos in landfill
The department accused the companies of illegally removing asbestos from the Copper Lounge, trucking it through town and then dumping it among common construction debris.
But Hultgren Construction and the company managed by Drake “demonstrated to DENR an inability to pay all or part of the penalty amount,” according to the settlement agreement the companies reached with the department in May.
Rather than pay the penalty, the companies were required to comply with asbestos laws in the future.
At the same time the companies were demonstrating an inability to pay the fine, Aaron Hultgren and Drake were negotiating with the city to build Village on the River.
The 13-story building will be built adjacent to where the Copper Lounge stood. Drake and Hultgren were both listed as personal guarantors for the project, which calls for using more than $21 million in public money to build the parking ramp portion of the project.
The revelation that Hultgren and Drake's companies were unable to pay a $20,000 fine raises questions about their guarantee for the Village on the River project, which the City Council approved earlier this month at the request of Mayor Mike Huether’s administration.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into the Copper Lounge collapse, which claimed the life of Hultgren Construction employee Ethan McMahon.
That investigation comes on top of a separate investigation by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration that resulted in nearly two dozen fines totaling more than $200,000 against Hultgren Construction.
Hultgren Construction appealed the OSHA fines, but that appeal has been postponed pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
This story has been updated from its original version.

Missouri State rolls past South Dakota State at Sanford Pentagon
With South Dakota State having picked up a pair of wins over power conference foes in the previous week, a sizable contingent of Jackrabbit fans in Sioux Falls came to the Sanford Pentagon anxious to get a glimpse of one of the hottest teams in mid-major basketball on Saturday night.
Turns out the timing for that wasn’t so good, as the Jacks laid an egg in front of more than 2,000 fans, ending up on the wrong end of a 73-53 stomping at the hands of Missouri State, the preseason favorite in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Bears big man Alize Johnson had 20 points and 14 rebounds to lead the way, as MSU led the game front to back, outshooting, outrebounding and outworking the Jacks.
For a team that had built serious momentum with wins over Iowa and Ole Miss, among others, it was a disappointing way to greet friendly fans in a different venue.
“It’s definitely really disappointing,” said guard Tevin King, who led the Jacks with 13 points and added five rebounds. “We were really looking forward to this, and the fans came out and supported us. (MSU) played really hard and made plays. It wasn’t a good night for us.”
The Bears aren’t exactly known for hot outside shooting, but drilled nine first-half 3-pointers to take a 43-26 lead at the break, including three from Johnson. In the second half the Bears moved inside, and continued to keep the Jacks at arm’s length. A 3-point play by Brandon Key cut the lead to 10 seven minutes into the second half, but that was as close as the Jacks would get.
“It was a butt-kicking from start to finish,” said Jacks coach TJ Otzelberger. “They were the more aggressive team, the more locked-in team, they moved the ball better and they rebounded better. They just outplayed us.”
Reggie Scurry had 14 points for MSU (7-2) and Jarrid Rhodes had 12 (hitting 4-for-4 from deep), but the story was the Bears’ success in holding down Jackrabbit post Mike Daum.
Daum came in averaging 20.1 points per game after averaging 25.1 last year, but the Bears held him to seven points on 3-of-14 shooting. The 6-9 junior had some good looks that just rimmed out in the second half, but it was still jarring to see the Summit League MVP struggle like he did.
“On the ball screens and transition that we usually run, they jammed the screens so they could stay attached to him so he didn’t have any room to move, and that was effective,” Otzelberger said. “We got him some touches in the interior and had a couple close looks he missed. We want him to be aggressive, and he wasn’t quite as aggressive as we’d like him to be, but (MSU’s) size and length is real and they make you take a little bit tougher shot than you’d like to.”
The Jacks (7-3) have another big mid-major challenge this week, as they travel to Wichita State on Tuesday night. SDSU had been playing so well prior to Saturday that it might be tempting to just forget the loss to MSU, but the Jacks coach isn’t taking that approach.
“No, we have to take this and learn from it,” Otzelberger said. “You don’t want to have the highs and the lows. We need to be able to consistently depend on defending people and rebounding the basketball. That has to be part of our DNA. It’s not just about making shots.”

Why should drugs be and stay illegal?
What are some good arguments against legalization of drugs like weed, heroin and meth?

- Top AnswerI think marijuana should be legalized and sold in shops that can probably provide to to consumers for less money than on the street and collect some tax money to perhaps fund treatment for more addictive drugs. Also, when doctors can fairly easily prescribe cannabis and chemically similar drugs, they have a very effective pain killer in their arsenal that's much less dangerous than opioids (the kind of prescription pills that have become street drugs) because in overdose, they don't depress lung function like opioids. Not breathing makes it very difficult to revive someone who has overdosed.
For me, a reason to control heroin and meth is simply the cost in human misery, healthcare expense, and crime related to people financing a drug habit, and then add the costs of the penal system. The reason these drugs are different from marijuana is because of how highly addictive and destructive they are. I don't think the methadone program for heroin addicts is effective . Be cause it's so addictive, methadone mostly just ends up as a supplement to their regular habit. I think it's much better to sentence people to prison or to throw methadone at them.
- I've recently viewed anecdotal stories on tv about the various benefits of cannabis. In the US, cannabis is a schedule 1 controlled substance, which is supposed to denote that there is no medical benefit to its use. Unfortunately, it appears that this view stays prevalent because the only research allowed in this country on cannabis is done to document the negative addictive properties of it, and not to highlight the possible benefits. If nothing else, the US should change its policy to allow medical research on the possible benefits of cannabis.
It is my understanding that the two main active ingredients of cannabis are THC, which is the psychoactive agent, and CBD, which is the agent that seems to have, at least as far as I can tell, most of the medicinal benefits of cannabis. The growers in the states that have legalized cannabis cross-breed strains to get different levels of these active ingredients. I'm sure growers worldwide are doing this as well. Those that are growing the strains high in CBD are producing CBD oil and selling it for medicinal purposes. There have been claims that this CBD oil can do everything from controlling seizures in epileptics to curing cancer to treating mental illness to alleviating pain, all without the side effects of other medications. I don't see harm in people having access to this, especially if the psychoactive (and I assume addictive) nature of cannabis doesn't exist in this form. Until more research on the positive effects of cannabis are allowed, we will never know for certain whether it is a miracle drug or just a bunch of hype. Personally, I think it's the former.
In addition, I think that a lot of the money that we are spending on enforcing laws against cannabis would be better served by treating addicts in a clinical setting.
- I do not think weed should be illegal.
I have a harder time with legalizing harder drugs like heroin and crack.
When DC decriminalized and then pretty much legalized marijuana, there were two unintended side effects. 1) gang turf wars spiked. Weed was now legal, and gangs were making money and wanted to protect their position, their corners their layers. 2) Weed became a cheap drug and it's only a matter of time before the District opens up pot shops to combat gang crime and to make a ton of $$ selling weed. So the drug cartels in Mexico, always a step ahead, started pushing heroin much harder. Heroin is highly addictive and there's a serious epidemic in my corner of MD. A coworker of mine lost a brother to a hot dose last year. It's tearing communities apart.
Doctor's are prescribing pain pills like it's nothing. People quickly become tolerant to percocet and vicodin. They gradually get to heroin...I think government's should certainly focus more heavily on treatment as opposed to prison for addicts, but they need to get at the dealers hard core.
- @Kingslayer: Agreed. I think weed should be legalized and sold at retail.
I think heroin and other such drugs should remain illegal, but decriminalized for users.
People who sell the drugs illegally should be prosecuted and fined/imprisoned, but people who use or become addicted to the drugs should only face rehab, if anything.
- As long as you're not hurting anyone else you should be able to put anything in your body that you want to. If you hurt someone while under the influence, you get punished for that.
There are so many good arguments for legalization it's just stupid.
Crime goes down when gangs are no longer fighting over territory (because you can legally buy in stores) and when people no longer have to steal to support their habit (since prices are not artificially inflated due to black market conditions).
Fewer drug-related deaths when people can get help they might not have gotten before (for fear of arrest) and quality controls are in place (from regulation).
Violent criminals will get the prison sentences they should have when prisons are not overcrowded with non-violent drug offenders.
Non-drug users suffer now as well. No more no-knock warrants, stop-and-frisk because you look suspicious, or unethical asset forfeiture laws (do you know that your assets can be seized if you are suspected of drug crimes and they can be sold by the arresting agency before you are convicted, and they often get to keep the money even if you are exonerated?).

- Google image search "krokodil" some place other than work. (And I don't mean the reptile.)
(That said, pot should be legal and taxed like hell. The harder drugs should stay illegal, but addicts should be treated as though they have a disease rather than made into criminals.)Edited by the author |
.Stephen Springs, Senior Principal, Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects
Here are five determinations to make internally before the first meeting with your architect:
1. Define your project budget
Seems like a no-brainer, doesn’t it? But I’m not talking simply about an overall budget; I’m talking about a specific breakdown. We often receive budgets featuring only a few line items: construction cost, professional fees, and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), for example. Rarely do we see a breakdown of what is assumed within these line items. Often, there are hidden costs in site development and utilities. If this is a renovation or expansion project, have costs for demolition, phasing and ongoing operations during construction work been considered? Are separate budgets available to pay for things like technology, A/V, moving and startup costs, software licenses and other expenses? If you don’t have all these answers, don’t fret, and if you don’t know what all to consider, the kick-off meeting is the perfect place to ask. It’s critical to know as many costs as possible early in the process — while you still have the ability to be nimble with budgeting and design.
2. Define your design program
The word “program” means something different to recreation professionals than it does to an architect. To a rec professional, a program is a class, sport or activity you offer people to help improve their lives. To an architect, a program is a list of spaces with the requisite square footages and descriptions of functions in those spaces. All spaces, plus a “circulation factor,” equate to the overall building’s square footage. If you haven’t already commissioned a study defining an architectural program, expect to go through such an exercise with your architect to determine how to reconcile your needs and desires with your budget. The more you already know about those needs and desires, the less time this exercise will take, so you can move into the fun part — design.
3. Define your schedule
One of the first discussions to have with your architect should involve a 30,000-foot view of your schedule and its feasibility. This conversation could also include the consequences of or benefits to speeding it up or slowing it down, if applicable. Most times, the critical path involves a targeted opening day, such as the start of a semester or a season. Has such a target been established? Is it flexible? This is especially critical in renovation projects, where interruptions in operation lay in the path, or for projects where an interim milestone is critical to the overall schedule. A project comes to mind in which a long-tenured retiring mayor wanted a project to be his swan song; therefore, it had to be open before the next election. What drives your project schedule?
4. Identify your decision-makers
For most significant building projects, clients designate a project manager, who oversees a project committee. Many times, our clients have a facilities group, which runs projects on behalf of their users, such as a city parks and recreation department. Whatever the arrangement, it’s best to keep the number of committee members manageable, which helps avoid disagreements. Most designers prefer to take direction from an individual or a small group. More often, this group reports to boards, commissions, councils and other entities that may have influence over design. As best as you can, determine how often those bodies must be consulted and include their meeting schedules on a project calendar to which both client and architect have access.
5. Ask for cellphone numbers
It may sound like a pick-up line, and — in a way — it is. You’re entering a long-term relationship with someone, so it’s best for both sides to get used to being accessible. Asking for phone numbers, if you don’t already have them, also marks the perfect transition to a discussion about communication preferences. Cellphone, email or text? How often do both parties want updates from each other? Who should lead communication efforts on each team?
Taking the initiative by following these five steps before a kick-off meeting will help empower a client to steer a new project in the right direction from the very beginning — significantly reducing the likelihood of unforeseen snags later in the process.. |

Things to Consider When Buying AMSEC Gun Safes
Size
We made sure to present you all sorts of different safes that are designed and produced by AMSEC. So the first thing you need to consider and think about is what type of safe you need and how big storage space you want it to have.
There are small safes designed to be portable and suitable for one handgun only, those medium ones adequate for commercial usage, wall safes with quite the capacity, and large vaults that can welcome a great number of firearms.
Bear in mind that they are all equally quality made and that they all come with great security features.
Fire and water rating
The second thing you should decide is whether you want your safe to be fire-resistant. That’s the feature, not every safe has, and even if it does, the time period during which the safe can withstand the heat from the fire will be different.
This aspect is very important if you plan on keeping documents, money, and guns inside of the safe.
Another thing is the ability of the safe to withstand the water, so some of them, in case of a flood, will keep your belongings intact.
Locking mechanisms
Every safe manufactured by AMSEC has a reliable and trustworthy locking mechanism, but there are some differences. You can choose from e-locks that are based on a keypad, safes that work on Simplex push-button mechanism, those with changeable key locks, etc.
They all have their benefits and disadvantages, so it’s up to you to decide the one you find to be the best for your needs. The safes with electronic digital locking system are the most popular ones, at least when it comes to this brand, and their keypads can be made in the old fashioned way or integrated into the LCD touch screen display.
They are usually illuminated so you can enter the right code during the night.
Safety features
Make sure to check with the manufacturer what are the safety features that each safe comes with – are they pry-resistant, how many live and deadbolts there are, how thick the walls are, how thick the door is, what are the materials used in the process, how firm the construction of the safe is, etc.
You should take all these factors into consideration before you make a decision, especially if you are looking for a vault that will keep your belongings safe from intruders.
Conclusion
It should be pretty clear by now that AMSEC designs safes that are worth your money and your trust. The fact is this brand creates outstanding safes that can keep your belongings protected from burglary and fire.
They are suitable for all sorts of things and needs – you can keep them in your home, office space, in your car, or bring them with you when you travel. Not only that your weapons will be stored the proper way, but also all your other valuables like money, documents, jewelry, electronic devices, medications, etc.
So waste no more time, we guarantee you will be pleased with each one of these vaults we presented to you. It is time to invest in your future and make sure everything you believe has some value to you is safely stored under the lock. |

The Teleport Filter (TikTok) is a cool way to experience what teleportation may be like.
Teleportation might be possible in reality also, in the far future if we are being really optimistic but you can experience the next best thing which is the effect of teleportation on TikTok.
This filter allows users to ‘teleport’ or rather disappear and appear at a new place. While it may seem simple, the filter has gotten immense popularity. As a matter of fact, millions of people have used the effect, and even more, have viewed the videos made from it.
It has also been used in a more era-appropriate way when people teleport from present-day earth to an apocalyptic plague-stricken version of the earth that doesn’t seem too far off of what is possible.
Teleport Filter On TikTok: Explained
This filter allows users to change the background of their video while a “sci-fi like” array of beams covers the video creator during the transition or during the teleportation. Variations of the use of the filter have popped up everywhere as reported by this source.
Further, the filter has an option to use any background you want which makes it more interesting when users show their creativity. Like people teleporting from modern Los Angeles to the 1800-era Southern USA while Old Town Road plays in the background is just the tip of the iceberg.
Some celebrities like Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown have also taken part in the challenge which added to the appeal towards the sci-fi crowd.
@milliebobbybrown
did not know i had this effect on. this is why I’m not meant for tok tik
♬ deuces x wet – rapidsongs
Due to the interesting nature of the filter, it has gathered immense popularity. As a matter of fact, the filter’s hashtag (#teleport) has amassed a staggering 2.7 Billion as of August 2020. The timing of the filter could not have been better as people were stuck at home in quarantine when it blew up.
People made all sorts of videos imagining where they would go to next right from the comfort of their home. From more common travel destinations to sarcastically commenting on 2020 by ‘teleporting’ to a restaurant, this trend really was made for the pandemic.

How To Get Teleport Effect: Step By Step Guide
TikTok’s filter is the easiest way to teleport, as of 2020 that is, all you need is a cell phone and an internet connection. With those in place, follow these easy steps to get the teleportation filter:
- Find a video with the #teleport tag or any of the TikTok videos listed here, then open the video and make sure you are using a mobile app to open it.
- In the TikTok video locate the teleport effect which should be listed above the username of the creator whose video you are watching.
- Open the effect and use it in your video, you will have to hold out your hand for the teleportation effect to work. In other words, you will be teleported if you hold out our hands.
- If you can’t find the effect use a VPN to change your location to where TikTok is supported, it is kind of ironic that the teleportation filter is not available in all locations.
Alternative Method to Get Teleport Filter On TikTok
Another alternative way to get the effect according to JYPSY, is by finding it from the camera section, open the camera from TikTok, and find the effects section. There you will see a special effects section, locate the special effects, when you click on the teleport effect, it will show you some background you can use or an option to add your own background.

According to recent reports, more and more companies are turning to the cloud to spur innovation, increase efficiency, and cut costs.
In one report, 84% of the 137 IT executives surveyed said they plan to move more workloads to the cloud within the next two years. According to the report, cost savings was a driving factor behind the switch. In the survey, 94% of respondents said the cloud would reduce setup and maintenance costs, and 47% said their IT costs would drop by 30-50% from the use of cloud infrastructure and apps.
Cloud services can be beneficial for a wide range of businesses. This includes the engineering sector where cloud service providers are helping to reduce costs. Whether it's having a SaaS backup solution to protect critical data, the use of cloud computing in production environments, or utilizing the cloud for development and testing, engineering firms are seeing substantial cost savings.
That’s due in part to the cost-savings inherent in adopting cloud platforms. According to the report, 47% of IT executives like public cloud budgeting flexibility that lets them avoid large capital expenditures. Additionally, in the survey, 47% cited usage-based pricing models that enable infrastructure decisions based on business needs.
Let's take a look at how engineering firms are utilizing cloud service providers to reduce costs.
IT personnel and infrastructure
Cloud service providers can help reduce IT costs by allowing companies to scale down their internal IT workforce. It also enables IT personnel to redirect their efforts to core engineering duties. For example, engineering firms can utilize cloud services like desktop support to reduce the overall burden on IT support. This enables IT personnel to prioritize other tasks like engineering analysis.
Outsourcing IT functions to cloud service providers also reduces the need for certain kinds of IT infrastructure. According to a report, 47% of respondents cited a desire to avoid capital expenditures on hardware, software, IT support, and security as a driving factor behind their decision to shift to the cloud. Instead of expending valuable internal resources, engineering firms can enlist cloud service providers to maintain necessary hardware and infrastructure.
Production, development, and testing
According to a recent report, 40% of IT professionals said they are using the cloud in production environments, while 33% said they were using it for development and testing. That’s because cloud services can be essential components in driving innovation and cost savings in production, development, and testing environments.
Engineering firms are using cloud service providers to optimize their computing resources at a lower overhead cost than if they had to continuously invest in up-to-date hardware. For example, firms that use computer modeling and simulations in the cloud see a significant decrease in the cost of installing, running, and maintaining simulation software. Other avenues for cloud computing in engineering firms include cloud-based acoustic modeling and system-level failure analysis.
Disaster recovery
According to one report, 20% of organizations are using cloud infrastructure for disaster recovery. For example, utilizing a cloud-to-cloud SaaS backup solution to safeguard your data can ensure your engineering firm is protected in the event of a data breach. Cloud service providers often employ multiple data centers to protect your data, which provides firms with the peace of mind of knowing their data is safe.
Utilizing a third-party SaaS backup solution ensures your data is protected against accidental or malicious deletion and helps you maintain business continuity, thereby minimizing the cost for engineering firms. For example, Backupify’s automated cloud-based SaaS backup platform protects and secures data to help companies quickly recover from cyber attacks. Our solution ensures a seamless recovery with minimal downtime, giving engineering firms the ability to focus on other areas of their operation.

Ronald G. Hughes: Barbadian Sugar Plantations 1640 to 1846 index was compiled from deeds, wills, maps, census, newspapers, surveyors’ plans and correspondence.
The basis of this listing was Ronnie Hughes seminar paper 1977/78, Department of History, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, titled: “Barbadian Sugar Plantations 1640 to 1846“. Over the ensuing years this listing was added to by both Ronnie Hughes and Mary Gleadall.
The data in this listing was originally produced by the late Ronnie Hughes who gave Mary Gleadall permission to use and reproduce the information on her website plantations.bb. Mary Gleadall has kindly allowed us to re-publish this reference data here where it can be searched.
Although extensive, it is recommended that this listing be used in conjunction with the Barbados Plantations and Sugar-Works Handbooks 1912 – 1914 Handbook (also on this site) and Barbados Almanacs: Plantations & Sugar-Works 1848 – 1871 (also on this site).
Further information can be obtained from the Barbados Archives and the Shilstone Library who have copies of the combined Hughes / Queree Papers.

Once again, America finds itself facing another drug addiction epidemic. As usual, the nation’s teens would seem to be the most vulnerable to what’s taking place from shore-to-shore. Unfortunately, kids are operating under a series of myths about drug and alcohol addiction. That’s precisely why the nation observes National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week (NDAFW) every year. About National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week In January of each year, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) co-sponsor events to dispel addiction myths.

There is a lot of difference in being a ‘tourist’ and a ‘traveler’ . On our every tour we try to come out of our comfy ,secure ‘tourist zone ‘ at least on one day . We keep one extra day aside to explore some unusual places or to do some random things . In other words we try to be ‘travelers’. This ‘Tiracol Fort ‘ is also a kind of ‘out of the way ‘ place for routine tourists of Goa.
Tiracol Fort was sooooooo….uncommon that even our hotel staff were clueless when i inquired about this place. Google maps showed just 53 km if we use a better road ( from candolim) . But it took us more than 3hrs as we had many ‘pauses’ in our journey . We started on bike at 11 am and decided to have our lunch by 1 pm. But surprise……… there were no restaurants not even dhabas .It took us more than 1 and 1/2 hour to locate at least one decent restaurant. Even there the waiter kept saying ”sorry mam” for almost half of the dishes . Finally he settled us with one ‘over spicy hyderabadi biryani ‘ and one ‘tasteless pasta’ .
One can find small tea stalls,cool drink shops en route . Petrol bunks were spaced with long distances.
After about 3 hrs of journey ( with 45min lunch break) we came to a dead end at tiracol river .We were gobsmacked . Sign posts and maps were still showing the same direction. We lost our hopes and took an ‘ about turn’ . On our way back we asked one elderly women ,just in case . She too was directing us to same spot and then said we needed to cross the river on ferry. She even offered us ferry timings. We could catch a ferry just at the spur of leaving which was the slowest form of transport i have ever used. I made friends with one localite aunty who offered me a place to sit .She belonged to ‘Tiracol village’ travelling with husband . The ferry operators were friendly and showed us the route to Tiracol fort.
Finalyyyy………. we were at Tiracol fort . It had two security people and two more tourists .It used to be a resort once but when we were there resort was shut down . There was nothing much to see except for the breathtaking view of Tiracol river joins the Arabian sea . We enjoyed that for few minutes before i injured my self while hopping. My husband insisted on leaving the place did not look safe with only occupants being 4 unknown men.
But this time we again took a chance by not taking ferry and choosing one alternative route . That turned out to be one of the ” scariest bike journeys” of my life as we could not find a single human being or animal for 25 mins in that route. I was making up my mind to encounter some dons or dhakus as the place looked so deserted and gloomy . It was almost like the road in English movies where we expect the couple to get lost on their holiday and find themselves ‘face to face’ with a psychopath or devil or both . I took my breath peacefully only after i saw one women waiting at small village bus stop after 25 mins. Rest of the journey was uneventful .
I am really sorry for not writing much about Tiracol fort but you can read on wikipedia ,here

Ha Ha! This is the kind of travel experience that is so unexpected, but gives us stories for a lifetime..I am glad you came out of it safely..sometimes, we are just afraid because it is a place not familiar to us…but fear can also be justified..better safe than sorry, right?

Advocacy dos and don’ts
Advocacy from the perspective of someone who has been on the receiving end of it in national and local government.
Earlier this month, BEFS launched an advocacy toolkit designed to give organisations and individuals the information needed to confidently speak up for their local built environment with politicians and councillors. Coinciding with the launch and ahead of the local government elections in May, BEFS organised a workshop on advocacy for its membership. We invited former Labour MP for Edinburgh North & Leith and former Councillor, Mark Lazarowicz, to share his perspective. The aim of the workshop was to hear about the dos and don’ts of advocacy from someone who has been on the receiving end of it for over 30 years, both in local and national government. We were also joined by Museums and Galleries Scotland’s Relationships and Partnerships Development Manager, Devon McHugh, who shared ideas and her experience one year into an advocacy campaign of behalf of approximately 400 museums across Scotland.
By the end of the afternoon, our speakers had clearly identified a number of key messages on successful advocacy, including the importance of building relationships with politicians, the need to involve constituents and ‘keep it local’ and that the time for advocacy head of the local elections is now!
Mark Lazarowicz kicked off the discussion with pragmatic and practical advice on contacting your local politicians. The most effective advocacy is from constituents. Therefore, if you are an organisation, get your members involved. He emphasised the importance of contacting the politician responsible for the issue in hand; do not address local politicians on national policy and vice versa. Remember that both local and national politicians have full time jobs, so do not turn up unannounced or unprepared. Be practical in your approach. Bulk emails do have their place and a high volume of emails from constituents may well get an issue on the agenda. Summarise key points and link to further information as opposed to sending large chunks of text. Invite all your local representatives to your events, to meet your group or organisation, to visit that historic site or exhibition, as ahead of elections they will likely welcome the opportunity to meet constituents. Mark also stated that the role of cross party groups and providing evidence to cross party committees at a national level should not be underestimated.
In relation to the upcoming elections, this is the time to get pledges of commitment from your local politicians to champion your local built environment interests. A good option for making contact with politicians is at larger cross party hustings. Provide evidence and data to support your key points and link with human stories and the impact on communities and people. You can also contact your representatives via social media. Politicians often manage their own social media accounts and will follow discussions on local issues or respond to your questions. Remember that local party manifestos and councillors’ pledges and commitments are managed at a local level. There is no central party line. So, develop key messages based on local interests and the impact of the built environment on local communities.
Ultimately, both guest speakers highlighted that engagement with politicians and councillors is not only feasible but also expected. Politicians and councillors expect to be at the receiving end of advocacy ahead of an election and if invited to events in their local area or ward are often delighted to attend. Politicians are interested in and beholden to their constituents. Therefore, advocacy needs to be about people and communities not just things. As Devon put it, lead with the work you do, how it is important, and how it makes people’s lives better. Build relationships with your local politicians, approaching them with a positive message or invite them to an event or to meet your team. This will make them more receptive when an issue arises. Finally, tailor your advocacy to local needs and interests.

I’m upfront at our first meeting in the courtyard. If Lilist is going to reject me because of my shortened lifespan—and she has all the right to, as the others I’ve met before her—I’d rather she do it sooner. Before I begin imagining what the future could be.
“I’m not really first-mother material,” I say, looking down into my tea. Has she already noticed the starry scent of dragon feathers clinging to my robes? Does she think the tremble in my hands is due to nerves or the fatigue of harnessing fire all day?
She places her cup back into its saucer. This is it, I think, but she smiles and says, “What a relief.”
Women who are destined to be first mothers want to make families with other aristocrats. Occasionally, one will decide they want the comfortable pace of life that comes with marrying a craftswoman from the flatlands. “No one wants to make a family with a fire keeper,” I say because in my months of seeking a partner, this is the resounding impression I’ve internalized.
I have loved life in the monastery. I was born there and never wanted any other life. For most of us, the fire is all the warmth we need; the companionship with fellow fire keepers all the relationships we’d want. Among us, there is no strangeness in looking skyward and dreaming of outer worlds.
My hands are clattering the teacup against its saucer. It’s nerves now, I’m sure. I set it on the table between us. She’s not staring at the cup or my hands. Her gaze is locked on mine.
“I might want to, Olin.”
I have talked to wild dragons and seen them eclipse the moon. I have caught the fire of their breath in my hands and taken its power into myself. Yet suddenly I feel fear speeding my heart as I face this woman who could have anything else but claims she wants to have a family with a fire keeper. People in Vel do not remarry. Choosing a fire keeper as a partner means spending most of one’s marriage always knowing that time is against them; that one day very soon, they’ll be alone.
She reaches across the table and strokes the swath of scar tissue on the back of my hand. “It’s an old injury,” I tell her automatically, as if her touch was a question. “From when I was young. The first time I tried to hold a dragon’s breath. My control slipped.”
Her voice is soft when she speaks, as if anything louder could aggravate my old wound. “Is it common? Burns like this?”
“All of us have a story. Most of us, more than one.” A pause. Perhaps Lilist, a poet, is more inclined than most to listen to the stories of someone like me. “Am I the first fire keeper you’ve ever talked to?”
“There aren’t many of you compared to us. Most don’t choose your life.”
From the mouths of some, this may have been an insult. With her, it’s an observation. She keeps stroking my scar, and I watch the trace of her fingers.
“I think your work is fascinating—what I know of it, anyway,” she says next, and I’m so hypnotized by the delicate pressure of her fingertips that I almost miss what she’s said.
Two first mothers glide by our table—I can tell they’re firsts by their embroidered silk capes and measured strides, the crystals braided into their long hair. They glimpse Lilist’s hand on mine, blink, bend their heads towards each other. I have not left the monastery in weeks, not since the last rejection. I wonder what I look like to them in my muted colors, with my long but singed hair. Foolish of you to grow it out, my teacher had admonished. You can throw off your cloak if it catches fire, but long hair is an unnecessary hazard. The short hair, though—it gives us away as fire keepers when we come down from the mountain. That’s what the first woman I talked to said.
Lilist watches the two retreating first mothers, then fully grasps my hand. “Let’s walk,” she says.
I cling to her like she is living fire.
Lilist and I marry against the advice of her parents and sister, when I have, at best, five years left to live.
“What will you do when I’m gone?” I ask her when we’re secure in the dark of our room one night. Lilist’s bed is piled with beaded and embroidered cushions and wide enough to fit two more people. If not for her weight against me, I would have felt insecure in its opulence. “People say life feels colder after their fire keeper dies.” Her head is pillowed on my chest, and I know she must hear how my heart races.
I cannot see Lilist’s face. Eventually she says, “Then you will just have to show me how to tend the fires as you do.”
She finds my hand again like at that first meeting, and I offer to share the final piece of my life with her.
When I travel to the monastery for the first time after our marriage, I bring Lilist with me. She has traded her silk gown and velvet cape for wool and furs at my advice, and only a jeweled broach, hairpin, and rings betray her status. The wind in the mountains is harsh without the shelter of the monastery’s walls and the heat of dragon breath. Thankfully, though, there is a well-traveled path. When I tell her of it, Lilist insists on bringing her horses, saying that I might be fit enough to scale mountains on my own strength but that she is not used to the exertion. So we ride.
“Are you more used to riding dragons?” Lilist asks as we begin our journey, and I can’t help my laugh.
“Is that what you all think down there in the city?”
“Fire keepers do have a reputation for being...”
“Daredevil fanatics?” I suggest.
I intended it as a joke, but she says, “I’m sorry. There are so many rumors. I should know better than to put stock in any of it.”
“If any of us could tame and ride a dragon, we’d have mighty spirits indeed. What would stop any of us from going off to the stars with them, visiting other worlds?”
Lilist falls quiet in that thoughtful way she has. When she speaks again, she says, “Tell me if I am out of line for asking, if these are secrets of your order, but— Where do the dragons come from? Why are they here?”
These are the questions the highest of our order have asked since the first contact with dragons. I tell Lilist this, that we haven’t yet learned their tongue but can interpret the vague outline of their will through sharing fire. They say they have come from another star system. They say their star went out, devoured by one of their kind, and their world became intolerably cold. We cannot yet interpret from their account why the devourer did this.
“The most concrete thing we have learned from them is the star map,” I finish.
Nightfall brings a clear sky. I locate the halfway alcove and we make camp, watering and feeding the horses and ourselves. With the mundane tasks done, I withdraw the flask of fire I keep next to my heart. Lilist still marvels at how the flame dances without fuel, how its container is merely warm to the touch.
“Do you have a bit of parchment?” I ask, because of course she, a poet, would have thought to bring parchment on a trip into the mountains.
She nods and fetches a roll from her things. I spread it flat on the stone.
“The star map looks best at night,” I explain. “It’s beautiful. I want to show you.”
I have never worked fire outside of the company of the other fire keepers, much less in front of someone uninitiated into our world of heat and smoke. Most people, still wary of the dragons and the ones who associate with them, do not want to witness one of us working fire, but Lilist’s eyes are bright in the darkness as she watches me unstop the flask and inhale the flames.
I have missed the burn in my throat, my mouth, my lungs. I am careful to avoid looking too closely at Lilist as I sink into the ritual. Although I do this for her, I cannot allow myself to think of her. A trace of anxiety can ignite a flare, set off an eruption that would swallow us all in flame, and so I imagine that I am alone while I brew the fire. Despite the wind, I’m sweating. Suddenly, I need to shrug out of my cloak. It falls heavy at my feet, and I gaze past Lilist up into the stars and let the dragon’s memory become my own. I exhale the smoke, as my training has disciplined me, and let the fire inside grow. Many apprentices, at this stage, will expel the fire before it can brew its magic, but I know the point at which my body will blister and ash, and I’ve learned to banish the fear of that possibility.
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice that Lilist has drawn her furs tighter around her, is staring at me with something I don’t have the space to name if I’m going to control the fire. The horses are whinnying, snorting, pawing at the ground. Lilist thinks to go to them and soothe them.
Spark. That is the way we’re all taught to recognize when the fire has brewed the magic to its peak. Ironic, when you have an entire inferno coursing through you, that you’d recognize anything so nuanced as a spark, but it makes intuitive sense. I feel it as a prickle along my spine. I seize it and visualize its shape. I kneel to the paper and blow a tame lick of flame. The parchment catches, crisps, and blackens as the flames dance over its surface. I exhale smoke once more and breathe the fire back into the flask. By the time I’ve wiped my brow and gulped down the clear air, the parchment has fully ashed and the map has set. I beckon Lilist over to see.
Some of the ash has crystalized into a spattering of starry flecks burned into the stone at our feet. Through them, a gossamer trail charts a course. I point up at our stars and show Lilist where they are on the scale of this map, where the tiny galaxy spirals out to represent stars we can’t see with our own eyes. I show her the course the dragons took through the eternal night, and she sits back and looks at me and then at the map again.
“I feel so small,” she says. “Everything feels so small.”
I don’t expect her to say this. “For us, the dragons make us feel connected to the potential of all the other worlds they’ve visited on their way to us. Their fire grounds us in our bodies and to the earth in the way nothing else has ever done or could do. None of us would ever give up the pain of fire, because it brings so many gifts,” I say. I need her to see how beautiful this is, why I do not hate my scars, why the wildest among us devote ourselves to this life. Sometimes one is born with a spark to draw the terrifying unknown to themselves and confront it and at least gain contentment by knowing the depth of the mystery.
“I understand, Olin,” she says in the too-fast way of someone who doesn’t truly understand. She strokes the scar on my hand as she looks back to the star map.
Her gesture is kind, but for once, it doesn’t reassure me. Maybe that’s because of the sudden exhaustion that comes with working fire, or maybe it’s the memory of a lifetime defending our study to outsiders, but I feel an old weariness that threatens this precious moment. I grip the flask of fire with my free hand. An unconscious gesture. A comforting one.
Lilist knows it well by now. She squeezes my hand, and I have her full attention. “It’s beautiful, Olin,” she says. “Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with me.”
The weariness abates, and it comforts me that, soon, Lilist will see the monastery. When she does, I know she’ll understand.
None of us in my lifetime have ever brought partners to the monastery. It is not forbidden, but it is rare; rare enough for one of us to marry, and rarer still for us to want to return in the company of an outsider. Uncertain of the etiquette, I sent a letter ahead of us, introducing Lilist and asking for my old teacher’s blessing. Her response was curt, in keeping with her usual manner, and confirmed that she wouldn’t stop someone from scaling the mountain if it was in their heart to do so.
“She didn’t say yes,” Lilist had pointed out, pacing with the letter in hand. “I wouldn’t want to be an imposition.”
“It’s a yes.”
“How do you know?”
“I know her.”
And so we’d gone. Certain that everyone would adore Lilist as much as I, I hadn’t worried—not until the familiar shape of the monastery’s buildings came into view.
Those walking the upper paths have already seen us approaching on Lilist’s great mares, and a small gathering, all drab cloaks and close-cropped hair, welcomes us. In the time I’ve been gone for the wedding, some of the youngest already have new burns or have earned their own flasks of fire strung around their necks. I embrace each person there, and if they have their own fire, it warms my chest as we touch. When I reach my old teacher, she smiles her usual tight, controlled smile and remarks that my hair is growing ever longer.
In the silence that follows, I turn back to Lilist, still sitting high on her horse. Silhouetted against the sun, she appears more imposing than I ever remember her being. I go to her to help her down, and she moves as if to hold her skirts out of the way, then remembers herself. Except for this trip, I’ve never seen Lilist in trousers.
An entirely different kind of heat, the uncomfortable kind, rises in my face as I turn to introduce my wife to the people who, in any way that matters, have been my only family. They kiss her cheeks and compliment her pretty jewels, glittering things that ceased to catch my attention the longer I spent in Vel. Suddenly, I see her again as I saw her that first day, as they must see her—a cautious aristocrat too pampered by life to see its mysteries.
My teacher does not kiss her cheeks as the others have done, only looks at me and says, “She must be cleansed with smoke before she comes any farther,” then retreats in the direction of the sanctuary, leaving me standing amid the silent stares of my peers.
The ceremonial smoke clings to Lilist’s hair and clothes, and I love the smell on her. With ash smeared across the bridge of her nose, she looks like one of us, a new initiate. I show her the monastery grounds, carefully avoiding the sanctuary and my teacher and the dragon who sleeps there during the day. Everyone is eager to tell her the history of not only our modest quarters but the entire mountain, and the youngest of us clamor after her, asking for stories of Vel. I stand back and admire how they dote on her.
The night will be clear again, and I suggest that we stay up and watch the dragon’s lunar flight. The night-lights are brightest at the top of our mountain, and on a full moon like tonight, the lunar eclipse brought on by the span of the dragon’s wings is even more stunning. So we huddle in the courtyard with the others in the too-cold night on the iced-over snow. Lilist shivers against me, and we all hush when we sense midnight. The ground shakes. I know how to brace for it but, in my familiarity, I have neglected to warn Lilist. I steady her before the next shake and whisper an apology. My teacher appears from the dark mouth of the sanctuary, striding easily towards us over the trembling ground. She acknowledges us all with a nod, and we wait.
Lilist grips my hand when the dragon’s head emerges from the cover of the sanctuary. Each step makes the mountain below us tremble, but we are staring up, lost in the dewy glisten of the dragon’s silver feathers and the opal glint of their horns. Their great head lowers to us and they turn one colorless eye to Lilist, who watches, steadily, in return. The dragon’s mouth parts, and Lilist stumbles back against me in alarm, but only a warm smoky breath washes over us, insulating against the chill for a few precious seconds. The others try to suppress giggles and fail as Lilist sags against me. My teacher smiles a real smile.
From their perch atop the rocky point of the sanctuary, the dragon summons the currents that will buoy them into the night sky. They circle above us, a low, fast shadow. As they circle higher, we can track their progress by the trail of stars disappearing and reappearing, renewed and brighter than before. When they circle low again to confront the moon’s light, I hear Lilist breathe in and keep her breath until the moon is freed from shadow of wings and the dragon’s feathers carry the faint glow of the moontouched. Now, I think, she understands.
I might have thought my living space modest before, but it appears severely austere after spending time in Lilist’s rooms in Vel. We squeeze together on my narrow bed, and I tell her stories of what we’ve gleaned from the dragons, breathing out smoke images to illustrate the strange things the dragons have told us of: that the celestial lights we call stars are far-flung suns much like ours, that planets of gas and ice and eternal storms also circle our sun, that in the cold dark of space, collapsed stars become light-eating voids.
“That’s terrifying,” says Lilist, curling closer to me. “Are you sure the dragons aren’t speaking in metaphor?”
“It’s real. I’ve witnessed it through fire.”
“The same fire that shortens your life,” she says. Not accusatory, just fact. “Our bodies were never meant to hold power as untamable as fire, and you pay dearly for it.”
She’s quiet for a moment, and though I know our relationship has passed the point where many others would have shunned us for our heretical beliefs, I still feel the prickle of worry that comes with divulging draconic wisdom to an outsider. In Vel, most tolerate our presence when we come down from the mountain to trade for goods, but when one of our order long ago tried to share what we’d learned of starfire and the properties of dragon feathers, they were violently driven from the city for daring to—in the Velians’ words—“proselytize the teachings of offworlders.” Now, we are careful what we say about our lives and the structure of the universe.
“I understand,” Lilist begins slowly, “why you would trade your time for such precious truths.”
“Just as a poet seeks truth, if I understand your craft correctly.”
This draws a smile from her.
She combs the tangles out of my hair, smooths the kinks with flower oils, and braids them into intricate swirls across my scalp. When I marvel at myself in her mirror, she says that perhaps my teacher will stop scolding me if it’s held back.
“Maybe,” I say and thank her.
“Do you think,” she starts tentatively, “I could talk to the dragon as you do?” When I am too surprised to respond, she hurries on to say, “It was just so beautiful. Tonight. And it’s not as if daughters of families like mine even have the chance to consider becoming fire keepers.”
I repeat to her the first lesson my teacher taught me. “To meet a dragon for the first time requires a gift. Take some time to consider what of value you might give.”
On the last day of her visit to the monastery, Lilist settles on a gift. It is not any of her jewels but a piece of parchment I have seen her laboring over far into the night.
Under the watchful eye of my teacher, we enter the sanctuary together, the warmth of the space immediately banishing the outside chill that had settled into us on our way. A great pyre lit by dragon’s breath burns in the center of the cavernous space, and in the shadows, the dragon looks up as if seeing the sky through the rock above us, white eyes radiant with the light of lost stars.
Lilist slips the rolled parchment from her sleeve and bows before the dragon. They blink as if the greeting has jolted them from their starward trance. With the patient slowness of one who has seen ages, they bend their head so that they no longer tower over Lilist and can meet her gaze as an equal.
“I am a poet, and I have written a song for you,” she says. The dragon shifts, settling their head upon clawed feet. They wait.
Lilist sings, and it is not a song for noble halls or ballrooms. The words are in our tongue but not organized in our way. Rather than telling a story, she weaves a suggestion among us, an emotion like longing. She sings as if breathless, and as the song unravels, I never hear her inhale. The song grows like a fire given all the fuel it has ever hungered for, and I think of wings, although she does not mention them. I feel the possibility of weightlessness, the threat of the vast dark.
Lilist is shaking when she’s done, and she offers the parchment that holds her words. The dragon considers it, then whispers its breath over one corner of it, setting it alight. Lilist doesn’t startle at the fire and waits fearlessly as the dragon opens its fanged mouth to take her words and swallow them whole. They press their nose into Lilist’s hand and close their eyes, as one does when letting a drink warm them from the inside on a winter night.
Lilist otherwise holds still but turns her head so that I can see her smile. The restrained joy of it is a precious thing, and I also fight my expression into something befitting the weight of the moment. My old teacher hums her approval, the closest she ever comes to praise. The dragon has accepted both Lilist and her offering, and she now has a new home here with my peers and I in the sky.
Because of Lilist, we begin to feed the dragon our stories. Whenever I come down from the monastery to visit her in Vel, she has a roll of parchment for me to take back to the dragon who likes her stories best. She encourages other poets to write to the dragon so that our stories might not be lost, so that Vel may travel the cosmos in the belly of a dragon. Soon, I am making my way back up the mountain with satchels overflowing with parchment, and people are making pilgrimages to visit the dragons who were once so feared.
We birth a child who is preternaturally warm. Lilist says this is because the child grew in my belly and learned to hold fire before they knew anything else. That first winter after their birth, Lilist will not let them go, holding selfishly to their warmth. There is fear in that grasp, but I do not name it aloud. I understand how looming death would make one cling to life. I make the dangerous winter climbs to the mountain alone.
My years are burning down to embers when we finally return to the courtyard where we first met. It is summer now, and despite the heat, Lilist still clings to the child. We sit among the verdant plants and guess at what names the child might take for themself when they’re old enough to choose, but Lilist quiets when the reality that I won’t see that moment with her comes drifting back. Time beyond the next moon has gradually stopped existing for us. Lilist is always so careful not to talk about years; holidays—anything that marks the passage of time—turn her somber. I can no longer clear the smoke from my lungs, and I cough with every other breath. Heat has made my tongue unable to enjoy the rich foods we used to savor together. I haven’t told her this. I eat and drink and describe, based on memory, how wonderful it is. I am sure to smile across the table at her.
“Will you show me how to make the star map?” she asks.
I look at her, and she has so much fire in her eyes for someone who has never harnessed dragon’s breath in her body. “You can’t,” I say. I do not tell her she could learn. There are things even I am still afraid of. I have loved this life, but I do not know if I want Lilist to follow me into it. I don’t want to wonder how the fire will deteriorate her body after I’m gone. “And I have shown you the star map before. You remember it?”
She sits back. Watches the baby in her arms. “I couldn’t forget,” she says.
“When our bodies are ashed, the dragons take us up into the stars,” I say, and I do not know why I’ve said it, only that it feels suddenly urgent. On their wings, we are dusted among nebulae; raw elements to be folded into the formation of new worlds.
“Won’t you ask them to leave some of you here on earth with me?”
I cough and say, “For you, the dragons would do anything.”
I take the flask of fire from around my neck and breathe without its weight against my chest for the first time since it was bestowed on me. At my death, this fire will be returned to the dragon and they will have my memories, just as I have held theirs. I have loved this life. Years ago, I wouldn’t have thought it would mean so much to me for someone outside the monastery—someone other than the dragon—to remember it too.
I study the dance of the flame and fold its flask into Lilist’s free hand. She looks at her fist as if it’s a star map, as if it’s something that needs discerning. When she returns her gaze to me, I breathe another unburdened breath and tell her, “When the time comes, I want it to be you who returns my fire to the dragon. They’ll see my life—our love—and know your wish to keep some of me here with you.” |

Five talking points from the Russian Grand Prix
Updated: Oct 30, 2021
Well, we’re back to snoozefest central appears. Lewis Hamilton is back to his whiny best. And I can’t help but be excited for the future of the sport. How is all that possible? Read on to find out.
Classic Hamilton returns From being moody and whiny, to thanking ‘the best fans in the world’, we were witness to some classic Lewis Hamilton this weekend.
Hamilton rightfully received ten seconds worth of penalties for his strange decision to do two practice starts in fairly dangerous areas of the track before the race, and then followed this up with a race full of complaining on his radio in what used to be a fairly characteristic showing by the multiple World Champ.
(Photo by Mario Renzi – Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images)
What makes it all the more baffling for Lewis is that this was something completely of his own doing, and yet when given the opportunity after the race to explain why he did it, he completely baulked at the question posed to him by Johnny Herbert and went back into thanking ‘the greatest fans in the world’, something which I’m sure he was desperate to do.
This in itself is somewhat questionable considering Russia’s less than exemplary human rights record over issues Hamilton is known for speaking so prominently about, it really was a weird weekend for our soon to be World Champion yet again.
All on a weekend in which he was being hyped up over the prospect of him equalling Michael Schumacher’s 91-race win record, it was just odd and strange one for Lewis. But hey, we all like a bout of nostalgia from time to time right?
The Schumacher legacy lives on for now… and the future As a self-appointed Michael Schumacher obsessed superfan, seeing Hamilton not equal the record was something of a happy moment for me.
Yes, it will happen next race. Or the race after. Or the race after that. It is, like Thanos famously said, inevitable.
But for now, the record remains intact. However one person who may just go on to break the new record Hamilton will eventually set is none other than Michael’s son Mick, who came out as the driver of the round in Formula 2 over the weekend with his second F2 race win of the season (third overall) and another podium to solidify his lead on top of the standings.
Mick has found himself in some strong form in the Formula One support category and looks set to get a call up next season to Alfa Romeo and bring back the Schumacher name to the sport nine years after it last appeared. And a telling quote from Mick in an interview on the weekend gave all of us Schumacher fanboys hope that the name will return to the record books in the future.
When asked about his thoughts on Hamilton potentially equalling his dad’s record on the weekend, Mick told reporters in Sochi “”One sentence my dad always used to say was, ‘Records are there to be broken.’ It’s everybody’s aim in this sport to do that. I think Lewis had a very, very good run. He had a very consecutive and positive run. It’s good for the sport. … the next aim would be then I guess for me, if I do make the step (up), to break that again.”
If that sentence doesn’t get any Schumacher fan excited, nothing will. Bring it on Mick, bring it on.
Bottas is an underrated character So much do you read about how ‘boring’ Valtteri Bottas is. People claim he has no personality. That he is nothing but a whipping boy and solid number two for Lewis.
But there is just something about him that I can’t help but enjoy. From his slightly awkward but actually amazing social media posts (seriously, look up his boot transition post from the weekend) to his often awkward but gangsta race win quotes over the radio, Bottas is weirdly fun.
Sure, he isn’t probably as ‘cool and hip’ to the kids these days such as drivers like Lando Norris, George Russell and Alex Albon who have their own unique way of catching the eye of the young generation, but I can’t help but admire the way Bottas handles himself sometimes, especially with the constant pressure and criticism he gets.
He’ll never win the Mr Popularity award in Formula One, but I for one want to start advocating for his weirdly awkward and underrated fun personality, which clearly is a Finnish thing right? Just ask Mika and Kimi…

Ricciardo is all class Can Lewis Hamilton take some inspiration from our own Dan? Seriously. Look at their two differing reactions to penalties this weekend.
Lewis spends a whole race complaining about it and then refuses to talk about in the race afterwards. Daniel Ricciardo owns up completely to a mistake, owns that he gets a penalty and promptly announces that he will simply “drive faster” in order to make up for it. Incredible.
The sooner Dan gets back into a winning car and has the ability to fight for the Championship, the better. What an ambassador for Formula One around the world he would be.
For the first time in my life I might be actively rooting for McLaren to succeed as of next year. Yikes…what is happening to me?
Stroll poleaxed, Latifi was there… I think Sadly nothing much to report on my regular Canada watch. For my man Lance, it was a second retirement in a row through no fault of his own.
An absolute brilliant start from Stroll from, 12th to seventh was looking good for him for the race on lap one, however Charles Leclerc had other ideas, punting Stroll into the wall in an incident that was incredibly lucky not to receive a penalty for Charles.
For Latifi, well, he finished 16th, and beat his teammate George Russell. So, that was good right? That’s unfortunately all I have to add. Hopefully better luck will come their way in two weeks’ time.
For the first time this season we don’t have a back-to-back race to enjoy after a two-week break. Gives us enough time to hope for another exciting race in two weeks’ time at the Nurburgring! Bring it on!

Global markets
It was a relatively muted week on global markets following the flurry of excitement around the Fed’s taper intentions over the previous week. All up, the story remains that equities continue to grind higher, helped by still solid growth in earnings and broadly steady interest rates. The major highlight again came on Friday with a much weaker than expected U.S. payrolls report, which appeared to reflect both a delta-related slowdown in employment demand and lingering employment supply bottlenecks. Either way, the upshot is the new dose of economic uncertainty likely killed off any chance of the Fed formally announcing taper plans at the September policy meeting, which should further lessen the risk of any untoward rise in bond yields any time soon.
Also of note last week was an encouraging bounce back in Asia/emerging market themes, helped by signs that the region could be getting past the worst of the latest COVID outbreak. The resignation of embattled Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga clearly helped, which has increased talk of new Japanese stimulus and/or a better COVID response. Chinese August service sector data was also weak, reflecting delta-related restrictions – which in turn has increased talk that China might relent on recent policy tightening.
In an otherwise data-light week, one focus will be what the usual parade of Fed speakers think about tapering in light of last week’s payrolls miss. The European Central Bank’s Thursday meeting might also attract more than usual scrutiny given recent murmuring from some officials suggesting it should also start to think about tapering bond purchases. U.S. producers prices on Friday will also be of interest given the simmering concerns over inflation. All up, however, I don’t expect any of these events to be especially worrisome for markets – with bigger hopeful news being signs of a global cresting in the delta COVID wave.
Australian market
Australia got a rare bit of good news last week with a better than feared Q2 GDP result. As I suspected, given strength in several partial indicators, GDP growth was positive, at 0.7%. Of course, Q3 GDP will be deeply in the red and we still can’t be confident Q4 won’t be negative also until we see more clarity around a post-vaccine easing of restrictions. Either way, the equity market continues, admirably, to look through the mayhem, helped by a still solid global equity outlook and very poor alternative investment choices!
The confluence of events last week – solid local data, weak U.S. data and an improved Asian outlook (as reflected in strong iron-ore prices) helped boost the beaten-down $A – at least for now.
The focus this week will be on whether the RBA delays its planned tapering of bond purchases at Tuesday’s policy meeting. For the record, I think it will delay, not that I think the decision will affect the economy or markets too much either way. Given heightened economic uncertainty, however, it’s just hard to see the RBA blithely proceeding on with a planned policy tightening – though it always retains the capacity to surprise!
We’ll also learn more about the resilience of business sentiment with the National Australia Bank August business survey on Thursday. It’s hard to imagine an especially strong result, though the fact that smaller states outside of New South Wales and Victoria are not in lockdown (much less living in caves) should help at the margin. |
Self-Isolate with Boccaccio The Decameron in 2020 by Matthew Gurewitsch Arts Intel Report, airmail.news April 11, 2020 The book I can't help thinking about right now is The Decameron. Penned by Giovanni Boccaccio at the dawn of the Renaissance, in street Italian rather than learned Latin, this doorstop tome incorporates 100 tales, or novelle, taken from a bewildering variety of far-flung sources, some dating back over a thousand years. Going forward, The Decameron would become a source in its own right. As retold by Boccaccio, the stories inspired greater and lesser lights for centuries, among them Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Keats. The single best-known feature of The Decameron is its construction. The stories are told over the course of 10 days (as the title, from the Greek, implies). There are 10 narrators, seven women and three men collectively known as the brigata. Each day one of them presides as King or Queen, in which capacity all but two—Pampinea on Day I and Emilia on Day IX—dictate a narrative theme for all to follow. The yield of good stories day to day is wildly uneven. Altogether too many—happily not all—are preoccupied with the recreational, guilt-free, extramarital sex that accounts for Boccaccio's racy reputation. My list of keepers totals perhaps two dozen. The earliest, in order of appearance, is the so-called "Legend of the Three Rings," told third on the first day. Symbolizing Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the rings are impossible to tell apart, just as it is impossible to determine one "true" religion. The single richest day is the last, under the aegis of Panfilo. His theme of munificence triggers five winning entries (stories 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10). The very last of Boccaccio's one hundred tales, told by Panfilo himself, fetishizes wifely obedience past the point of all understanding. Even wrapped in the ravishing melodies of Vivaldi's Griselda four centuries later, the heroine's infinite patience in the face of humiliation evokes the inscrutable—and, to many, infuriating—Book of Job. As retold by Boccaccio, the stories inspired greater and lesser lights for centuries, among them Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Keats. On Day IV, Filostrato calls for tragic love stories and elicits four for the anthologies (3, 5, 6, and 9). In his own, the ninth, a lord betrayed by his wife takes revenge over a grisly dinner. On Day V, Fiammetta parries with a request for love stories in which tragedy is averted. She, too, has an ace up her sleeve, involving a prize falcon and its noble owner, gone bankrupt in pursuit of an indifferent beauty (9). Apart from Fiammetta's classic, three other of the day's contributions hit the mark (1, 8, and 10). Beset by breaking headlines from newsrooms worldwide, focusing the mind for the long hauls of Proust or Tolstoy or the latest Cromwelliana from Hilary Mantel is a tough ask. Boccaccio's bits and bobs make gentler demands on the distracted attention span. But what propels The Decameron to the head of the queue today is not the entertainment value of this episode or that episode. It's the Armageddon context. Filled as it is with pleasant walks, conviviality, dance, poetry, and birdsong, the brigata's countryside idyll is no mere Tuscan holiday. This little Eden is their (perhaps not impregnable) safe haven from the Black Death that rages back home. Above all, it's the opening section of The Decameron that haunts me today. This Preface to the Ladies, as Boccacio calls it, takes place in his native Florence in the plague year of 1348 and is painted from life. Contagion strikes high and low, shredding the social fabric. Casualties are mounting by the day, the faint-hearted despair, quacks profiteer, the sainted render aid and comfort as they can, mindless hedonists carouse on the edge of the volcano. After mass, off in a shadowy corner beneath the vault of the virtually abandoned sanctuary of Santa Maria Novella, seven well-born ladies fall into conversation. Pampinea, the eldest, has an idea: why not self-isolate out of town? But won't they need male protection? Presto, three likely gentlemen appear, and the die is cast. If only life were that easy in 2020. Our whole planet is Florence now. Related Topics: Books receive the latest by email: subscribe to matthew gurewitsch's free mailing list en |

Andrology
all male sexual problems, will be addressed here by the andrologist.
Andrology is the speciality that deals with problems unique to men, like reproductive Health Problems and urological problems. It is the science of men. Many men across the globe suffer from problems that may cause infertility. Andrology is the branch of Science that deals with health problems related to men like erectile dysfunction, infertility etc.
Andrology- male infertility
Male infertility refers to the situation where a man is unable to impregnate a fertile female. It accounts for 20% of causes for infertility. Normally infertility is measured by sperm count in semen of male. And a low count (<5 million/ml) of sperm causes infertility. There can be different reasons which might cause infertility in males. Obesity, long term use of alcohol and drugs, tobacco smoking etc. are some of the main reasons for decreased fertility level in males.With advancement in modern science, success rates are increasing for infertile couples to have a child.
Treatment of infertility in males
Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): ICSI refers to the situation where single sperm is made to enter cytoplasm of a mature oocyte in laboratory. This procedure is a part of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle, providing an effective method in assisting fertilization in men with low sperm count.
Testicular extraction of sperm ( TESE) : If a man is completely unable to ejaculate sperms in his semen, then he has to under go this process. Sperms can be sometimes removed manually from the testis with the help of minor surgery under local anesthesia. If Sperms are found and extracted from testis, they will be subjected to ICSI and their success rate won't be very different from IVF. Thus men with no sperm in ejaculate can have potential to be father of a child.
Risks related to treatment
Most patients who undergo these treatments will have no major complications. There are a few to no risks involved for men, depending on the procedure adopted. While women who have adopted various methods of Artificial fertilization may have seen a few complications like infection, damage to blood vessels and reproductive organs. OHSS is a life threatening complication that can occur during artificial fertilization. But there is evidence that children of couples who became pregnant after IVF or ICSI showed slightly high rate of chromosomal or congenital abnormalities. These risks shall be discussed with a infertility expert. But for now couples can be assured that these abnormalities are very rare and infertility can be treated in most of the cases. |

A heavyweight bout no one asked for hopes to avoid depressing us this August 1, 2015 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Match Up
Heavyweight Stefan Struve 25-7 vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira 34-9-1-1 NC
The Odds
Heavyweight Stefan Struve -165 vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira +145
3 Things You Should Know
1. Big Nog's KO loss to Roy Nelson is very indicative of where he's at in his career. Don't be surprised if Struve toe tags him too.
I'll be perfectly honest. It sucks to have to preview this fight. Big Nog was MMA's early 21st century Rocky.
Balboa vs. Thunderlips his fight with Bob Sapp ain't.
Sapp was a veritable beast back then. The punishment he's taken throughout his career has clearly taken its toll on him. So yea, this fight sucks. I hate to preview this like it's a funeral, but is there a silver lining if Nog beats Struve? Not really. Nog would feel empowered, maybe even acknowledging that if Mir and Arlovski could be relevant "why can't I?", and that's not really a good thing. Still, on its own, it's a less cringe inducing matchup than say, Nog vs. Travis Browne or something.
2. Struve is winless in his last two, getting knocked out in both losses to Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt. If there's a 27 year old alive who could actually rival Nog's decline, Struve is actually a good candidate.
Youth is mercurial in prizefighting. Struve may be young, but he's at a point on his career where youth no longer guarantees durability. Granted, he's been knocked out by some of the hardest punchers in the division. But this shouldn't be a caveat. Getting knocked out is usually just a proxy for bad defense. Before you know it, opponents don't need power. They just need accuracy.
Struve isn't washed up or anything, so don't mistake me. But for all of his physical talents, he has yet to make sense of it.
3. Unfortunately all I see here is what a Nog fight with Semmy Schilt would look like in his current incarnation.
Struve is obviously way less talented than Schilt. That goes without saying. But Struve is pretty violent. He likes to exchange strikes, opting for a very heavy right hand.
While Struve has solid mechanics, and is capable of boxing, his flaws always go back to his defense, and desire to brawl. Much is always made about his "physical talent". I'd argue that it's his lack of talent that makes him so flawed. Yes he has height. But he doesn't have fluidity. He's dynamic; possessing a strong grappling game to go along with raw power in his strikes. But he doesn't flow.
Nog would have picked him apart in his prime. Just watch his fight with Sergei Kharitonov to see how good his boxing actually was in his prime. We know this. The question is whether or not even the residue of Big Nog's shadow can be enough to outbox Struve.
It'll be interesting to see how much of this fight ends on the ground. Struve is so offensively gifted that he can lucksack his way into great position. Just look at the Mario Neto fight. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Struve give Nog a submission scare or two.
Prediction
Struve hits hard enough that even with Nog winning early exchanges, Struve will just bull passed Nog's offense, and land the only one or two straight hands he needs to in order to end the fight, and likely Nog's career. And yea it's painful writing that. Stefan Struve by TKO, round 1.

Why is water damage restoration important?
One of the most important steps in water damage restoration is removing all the standing water. If not, the remaining water can cause mold and mildew to grow. A professional company will use industrial pumps to extract the water from the property. They will also conduct a thorough review of the area and make any necessary repairs. If there is any structural damage, a team of professionals can determine whether the property can be remodeled or if it needs complete demolition.
The first step in water damage mitigation is stopping the flow of water. The contractor should be able to locate the shutoff valve either inside or outside the building. If the valve is located inside the building, it is best to call a water damage restoration company. If you are unable to determine the source of the water, you can try to clean it up yourself with a wet rag. If the water is coming from the sewer line, however, you will need to hire a professional water damage restoration company.
What are the steps in claim settlement procedure?
Once the square footage of the property has been determined, you can schedule work. Before any work begins, you should consult with your insurance adjuster and discuss the job scope. If the contractor has to work around the structure of your home, they will need to obtain approval from your insurance company before they can begin. You can take photos of the damage and explain to the insurance adjuster the extent of the repair. It will help them determine if the restoration company can handle the additional cost.
If you are planning to remodel your home, consider hiring a water damage restoration company. Getting the wrong contractor may cost you more in the long run. It’s also possible that a city permit is needed for the work. A good company will have a plan in place before the construction process begins. If you don’t want to be stranded without a place to stay, consider hiring a reputable contractor who specializes in this type of work.
What is included with water damage restoration?
You can hire a water damage restoration company to clean up the water after a flood. They will guide you through the process and make sure that your home is restored to its pre-flood condition. The process can take weeks or even months, depending on the extent of the damage. Regardless of the scale, a water restoration company will be able to restore your home safely. And if it takes a little longer than you expected, it will be easier for you to afford it.
During a water damage restoration repair project, you can choose the company you think will best meet your needs. The insurance company can also recommend a water damage restoration company. But you should always keep in mind that the insurance company will not pay for a company that has been recommended by your insurance company. Usually, the best option is to find a trusted restoration company that is reputable and has a good reputation. When choosing a company, you can be sure that you’ll get the best service possible.
When should I call insurance after water damage?
Before hiring a water damage restoration company, you should contact your insurance provider to see if they’ll cover the damages. They can tell you how much coverage you need to have the project completed and how much money they are willing to spend on it. You should also ask your contractor about the cost of a water damage restoration estimate. In addition, you’ll need to make sure you have sufficient funds to pay for the service.
Once you’ve found a company that’s trustworthy, the next step is to select a contractor. A water damage restoration company should be able to offer a written estimate before work begins. Often, this process can be a lengthy process. Depending on the amount of water and how much building materials are affected, water damage can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But if you hire the right company, you’ll save a lot of time and money. |
DARTMOUTH — ”Seeing is more convincing than reading,” wrote artist and designer Norman Ives in a 1960 edition of Industrial Design magazine.
But for Ives, who died in his mid-50s in 1978, the impulse to read was an avenue toward seeing. Using letterforms as building blocks, he made work that paves synaptic pathways between symbol and image. The artist is the subject of “Norman Ives: Constructions & Reconstructions,” curated by John T. Hill, author of a book by the same name, at the CVPA Campus Gallery at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Ives was a first-year graduate student at Yale in 1950, the year Josef Albers arrived to revolutionize the university’s art department with Bauhaus notions marrying aesthetics to utilitarianism. Such thinking elevated commercial art to the cannier field of graphic design, and Ives was a standout. In 1967, the Museum of Modern Art celebrated him, along with Massimo Vignelli and Almir Mavignier, in “3 graphic designers.”
The tension between letter and image fascinated Ives from the get-go. This show begins with a 1951 print of a Victorian house made with hand-stamped 19th-century wood fonts — “S” filigrees along the eaves, an “A” forming the roof. Ultimately, Ives left pictures behind and let letters speak for themselves. They roared and jabbered, never turning into words.
Advertisement
His method was simple, reassembling letterforms on grids, swapping their context from reading to seeing, from the left-to-right on a page to the more holistic picture plane.
In a painted facsimile of a 1963 mural, pieces of black letters fill squares, interlocking with the off-white background. The familiar serifs, angles, and curves are so magnified they’re impossible to read. Still, the brain strains to — an invigorating effort. In the 1973 screen print “Centaur,” Ives arrays sans serif letters on a spiral set over a grid. They topple, tilt, and overlap, colors changing where they intersect. It’s breathtaking, an alphabetic tumbleweed.

Ives understood the power of symbols. His 1960 book, “8 Symbols,” details his thinking behind eight logo designs, on view here. They add layers of visual nuance to letters, building meaning. In his art, he strips meaning away. Letterforms cling to their symbolic import like strangers in a strange land, and a new kind of reading is born.

Draw a diagram to show the stages that stars follow in their life cycles.
How are protostars formed?
• A cloud of dust and gas, a nebula, is drawn inwards under the force of its gravity.
• It begins to rotate increasingly rapidly.
• The centre becomes hotter.
• A hot, dense protostar is formed.
How do protostars develop into main sequence stars?
• Protostar's increasing force of gravity pulls in matter.
• As the star's volume increases, its density does too.
• Pressure therefore increases, causing more collisions.
• When the temperature gets high enough, hydrogen nuclei undergo nuclear fusion to form helium nuclei.
What event causes protostars to become main sequence stars?
When nuclear fusion starts to happen.
Main sequence stars typically last several million years, because they are stable. How are they stable?
There is an equilibrium between the gravitational collapse of a star and its expansion due to the outward pressure of fusion energy.
What eventually causes a main sequence star to become unstable and turn into a red [super]giant?
The hydrogen supply dwindles to less that 50%, causing the star to swell.
Small main sequence stars swell into ___ ___ and larger ones turn into ___ ___.
1) Red giants 2) Red supergiants
The colour of a star indicates what?
Its temperature.
List the colours of the hottest to coolest stars.
• Blue
• White
• Yellow
• Orange
• Red
What happens to stars in the red giant stage?
• Fusion of elements beyond helium produces less energy each time.
• Eventually, the core will not have a high enough temperature or pressure to fuse the next element.
• The star's outer layers drift away (to form a new nebula)
• The core remains very hot and dense, becoming a white dwarf.
What happens to a white dwarf after some time?
Eventually, it will emit less and less energy, and cool to a brown or black dwarf.
What do stars do in the red supergiant stage?
• They glow brightly as they fuse elements up to iron.
• Fusion of iron doesn't produce any energy, removing the outward pressure.
• The core collapses; protons and electrons fuse to produce neutrons.
• Causes a shockwave through the outer layers of the star.
• The star explodes into a supernova, forming all elements heavier than iron and ejecting them into the universe.
Where do all naturally occurring elements beyond iron come from?
Supernovas.
What happens once a red supergiant has become a supernova?
• The supernova ejects its outer layers of dust and gas into space
• Leaves a very dense core - a neutron star.
• If this star is dense enough, it becomes a black hole.
What is a black hole?
An object with such a strong gravitational field that it can even act on photons - i.e. no light can escape.
How many planets are in our solar system?
8
What do objects have to do in order to be classed as planets?
• Orbit a star
• Clear their neighbourhoods, i.e. have gravity strong enough to pull in nearby objects.
What is the name given to an object orbiting a star which can't clear its neighbourhood?
A dwarf planet.
What are natural satellites?
Moons that orbit planets.
Give an example of an artificial satellite.
The ISS.
What are asteroids?
Objects made of metal and rock-like material, which orbit stars in highly elliptical orbits.
What are comets?
Objects made of rocky material, dust and ice which vapourise as they approach stars.
What galaxy is our solar system part of?
The Milky Way.
Planets orbit stars in ___ orbits.
Circular (acually elliptical - but say circular).
If an object moves in an [almost] circular orbit, it is constantly changing ___, and therefore also ___.
1) Direction 2) Velocity
If an object moves in an [almost] circular orbit, it is constantly changing direction, and therefore also velocity. For this to happen while the object is at a certain speed, it must be ___. There must therefore be a __ __ acting on it, generated by __.
1) Accelerating. 2) Centripetal force. 3) Gravity.
Explain how, for circular orbits, the force of gravity leads to changing velocity, but not changing speed.
• If an object moves in a circular orbit, it is constantly changing direction, and therefore also velocity.
• For this to happen while the object is at a certain speed, it must be accelerating.
• There must therefore be a centripetal force acting on it, generated by gravity.
• The object keeps accelerating to what it's orbiting, but its instantaneous velocity (at a right angle to acceleration) keeps it in its elliptical orbit.
Why do objects in closer orbits to a star/planet need to orbit it faster?
The closer an object is to a star/planet, the stronger the gravitational force it experiences, the faster the object needs to travel to remain in orbit (and not crash into what it's orbiting).
For an object in a stable orbit, if its __ changes, the __ of its orbit must do as well.
1) speed 2) radius
What evidence do we have that the universe is expanding?
When we record light from distant galaxies, the wavelengths are longer than previously recorded; they are shifting towards the red end of the spectrum - called red-shift. Suggests the source of the light is moving away from us -the galaxies are receding quickly, from every direction. |

August (4 of 5)
Beverning and Vande Perre to Adrian Van Hooghe at Middleburg.
[August 19/29, 1653.]
Vol. v. p. 218.
In Swoulds Bay lay, the 20th of August, four ships; at Aldburgh lay general Monck on the day aforesaid with fifty eight ships, which are making ready to set sail very suddenly, there being two hundred and fifty English wounded; and most of those ships would go to sea within ten or twelve days, and the rest at the end of this month, or the 8th or 10th of September next new stile. Thereabouts at the same time have cruized upon the coast twenty frigats, coming every foot near the shore, and might be seen now and then from thence, in all likelihood to discover the sea, and to secure the ships that lie there, which might be otherwise assaulted with apparent success, there being amongst those twelve, that were not in the last encounter, but were press'd out of the river at that time, and had lain ever since at Dover. And this day we received further information, and do understand, that the said twenty frigates, and forty or forty two of the said fifty eight were out at sea, but with no full certainty.
At Yarmouth there were no other the 21st of this month but coal-ships, which were bound for London. In that place there were about five hundred wounded men.
At Harwich there lay the 25th of this month thirty five ships much torn and shattered; twelve without any mails, some without any rigging, some without their boltsprits, others much damnified elsewhere; and some of them cannot be fitted out again in six weeks. On others they work hard. In that place there are one hundred and forty wounded men. In the river of London there was come in at that time four or five ships very much torn. In and near the said place is a strict watch set to keep their men from running away. The last encounter came and arrived here an hundred and twenty two or an hundred and twenty three ships; and as we can learn out of several captains there were seven or eight of those ships lost. The fire had also taken hold of vice-admiral Pen, Andrews, and the Triumph, but was quenched again by the assistance of other frigats, who assisted one another.
Two ships with masts, pitch, and Tarr, coming out of Norway, and belonging to Sweden, as its thought, are brought in or came into Yarmouth even just before the arrival of the fleet there, without whose help the said twenty five ships at Harwich, for want thereof, would have been forced to have come for London, with many more inconveniencies and loss of time, the same being laid now very near the wall in a very secure and sit place to be repaired.
There is great store of great guns sent to the said ships, so that many of their guns were dismounted in the last encounter.
The number of the dead is uncertain, by reason the same is kept secret, and concealed as much as is possible; it being said by some three hundred; others eleven hundred. In the town of Ipswich were the 21st aforesaid three hundred wounded, whereof men die daily.
There were as many more wounded men carried into the country. The number of the wounded is said to be twelve or thirteen hundred. Many persons that were in the English fleet declare, that the Dutch fought most couragiously and like valiant soldiers, and that their victory was not near so great, as it was made and reported to be.
They do count the damages suffered here in their ships to amount at least to two hundred thousand pounds. Men are very scarce and not to be had, especially experienced men.
The men are taken out of those ships that are torn, and are put on board of those ships, that lie ready to set sail.
As many ship-carpenters as can be gotten are sent to repair the damnified ships.
Many soldiers are ordered out of several garrisons, and commanded up to London.
There is great lamentation made amongst the women for their husbands, that are either slain or wounded.
Beverning and Vande Perre to the lords states of Zealand,
Vol.v.p. 222.
High and mighty lords,
We advised your high and mighty lordships in our last of the condition of divers of our prisoners here, and all that hath been done by us already about them, and what can be done by us for the future for their good. The lord of Nieuport without doubt hath reported to your high and mighty lordships what the elders of the Dutch church here and we have contributed towards their relief. Since is the hired ship at last gone from hence, transporting the released prisoners. There are as yet at least eighty more of our stoutest men, that are happily past Gravesend, as we are informed; and we do hope, they will make a clear escape, notwithstanding here is a very great number remaining behind; and there are daily others brought up hither, that were taken in the last encounter but one, which have been dispersed up and down the countries, to work for their living. There are also divers prisoners, that were taken in the last fight, and were set on shore; and others that swam on shore, who go begging up and down the countries. They are most of them stout, able, and willing lads, who would be glad with all their hearts to serve their country again. We had yesterday at least one hundred before our door; we instructed them how to divide themselves, and we have sent away this day to Ostend ten by provision, and shall continue herein after the manner comprehended in our last, unless it be your high and mighty lordships pleasure to the contrary, which we do expect to receive with a very great desire. The prisoners at Chelsea are now reasonably well, and the sickness much decreased. The captains that are kept there likewise do make new addresses to us every day, to get them released; as also those that were taken in the last encounter, and are in hold at Ipswich, whose names are, according to their letters and marks, Cornelius Evertson, Adrian Banckert, Claes Janssen, Andries Fortuyn, Gerbrant Schatte, John Johnson de Haes, and Cornelis Taelman. We have underhand some hope given us, that they will release all of them, as also the common seamen, for a reasonable price of one or two months pay, but we do not know how this will be accepted of by the government here; and likewise we dare not venture to yield to any such thing without your high and mighty lordships express order. The shortest way would be to make an exchange, if so be your lordships have any prisoners to offer in lieu of those, as is said here you have some, that have been taken by private men of war and others. This week there were put into the tower three or four persons of quality, who are said to have promoted the service of the king; as also they do write out of Scotland of a truth, that divers persons were likewise secured there. The major general Harrison hath been very ill at his country house; he is said to be now on the mending hand again.
The business lieutenant col. John Lilburne will be in all likelihood, and it may be not to his advantage, determined this day. Many soldiers marched up and down the town to day, to prevent insurrections and disorders, which are very much feared every where. We pray God to bless and prosper your high and mighty lordships.
High and mighty lords,
your high and mighty lordships humble servants,
Beverning, Vande Perre.
Westminster, 29/19 Aug. 1653.
Vande Perre to mynheer Van Vrybergen pensionary of the town of Tolen.
Vol.v.p.210.
Mynheer,
I Do long to hear what hath been done since the arrival of our commissioners, and what discourse hath past about mynheer Beverning's and my abode here till further order from their high and mighty lordships, and especially how all businesses are resented in the assembly of the lords states of Zealand, and what hath been done upon my distinct letters and other inclosed papers; to all which I shall expect by the next post an answer. What captains are taken, and in what posture the fleet is in here at present, is to be seen in a letter, which I have writ to pensionary de Bruyn: for the obtaining and getting to the knowledge thereof mynheer Beverning and I have been at no small charges, whereof Holland is to bear the 2/3 part, and Zealand the remainder. Thus we have agreed it amongst ourselves after a provincial manner, which I shall be willing to observe for the future, if the like occasions should require it, so it be with the pleasure and good liking of their lordships.
Your servant
Vande Perre.
Westminster, 29 Aug. 1653. [N. S.]
Beverning to Nieuport.
Vol.v.p.212.
My Lord,
I Am glad with all my heart; that our separation is well taken and resented by the assembly of the states of Holland; but I long to hear and understand, what the States General say of our separation. I am informed underhand, that if we would agree to an union after the same form as we have in the United Provinces amongst ourselves, that we should be soon agreed. Be pleased to think upon it; but notwithstanding the pains I have taken, I have not been able to speak with his excellency Cromwell since, so that I have not much to advise, only I desire you to remember our poor prisoners, and my account to their high and mighty lordships, that they would be pleased to order the payment thereof. I am sorry to think, that there are some, who are not satisfied with what we have acted here in relation to our public duties, as if we had been negligent and careless in the performance of our duties; and that they should say, that they did expect better content and an account for the future than what they have had formerly; which I shall answer in a word, that we have fully performed our trust with all faithfulness according to our instructions.
19/29 August, 1653.
Vande Perre junior to Mr. Conradus Coene, lodg'd in the Hague at colonel Crom-well's house.
Vol.v.p.221.
Sir,
I Have with joy understood, that our fleet consisting in seventy two ships is ready again to set out to sea; whereof we should be glad to hear the effect. The business of col. John Lilburne is appointed to be determined this day; and as all the world believe, and many fear, it will be adjudged to his prejudice. For fear of some insurrections, which might be caused by him and his party, which is said to be very great, having many favourites both here and in the countries to prevent them, they have filled this town with soldiers, and a grievous combustion there is about him. We are informed, that two Swedish or Hamburgh ships arrived at Yarmouth, laden with pitch, tar, and masts, just at that time that the English fleet was driven in there, all torn and mastless, as if the Devil had brought them there, to come just at that time, when they stood most in need of them. They do intend here to block up our ports and harbours again with twenty five of their ships, which were least damnified; but I hope they will be first entertained by us.
London, 19/29 Aug. 1653.
Beverning to the lord Van Renswode.
Vol.v.p.217.
My lord,
I Must fall troublesome unto you with a small request in favour of the earl of Clare, who is sending two of his daughters to Utrecht, that they may be free there of some inconveniences and troubles, which they may be subject unto here. That lord is much troubled, that the inconveniencies of this war in time may spread itself over all particular persons, and those young ladies be arrested or molested in their persons, by reason of the ill usage, that is done to some of ours here. Therefore the said lord desired me, that I would procure of their high and mighty lordships, as also of the lords states of Utrecht, if it be possible, an act of safe-conduct or safe-guard in the names of Maria and Eleonora Holles, daughters of the said earl of Clare, aged eleven and twelve years; that they at any time, with two chambermaids, may transport themselves again for England; which I hope will not be refused them. I write likewise to their high and mighty lordships about it. Your lordship will hereby very much oblige me to serve you in the like upon all occasions.
19/29 Aug. 1653.
Vande Perre to the lord Joos Vander Hooghe at the Hague.
Vol.v.p.216.
My lord,
I Desire of your lordship, that you would be pleased to advise me what hath past in the assembly of their high and mighty lordships; as also in that of Holland upon my lord Newport's report concerning the parting of the commissioners of their high and mighty lordships to this commonwealth. The coming over of the said lords, and of two staying here, was resolved, it may be, amongst some beforehand. Great endeavours are used here to set forth their torn fleet to sea again. We are daily informed more and more, (although they do nothing else here but study how to colour and conceal the business,) that the damage on this side, set the death of admiral Tromp aside, is far greater than that, which our fleet hath suffered; and although we are informed to the contrary, yet they will make us believe, that we have lost thirty or forty ships. I do hope, that those may be punished accordingly, who were the occasion, and still are of our continuing in this luctuous war.
August 19/29, 1653.
Beverning to John de Witte, raedt pensionary of Holland and West-Friesland, at the Hague.
Vol. v. p. 225.
My lord,
I have writ to you every post: I hope mine come sase to hand without inspection. I have caused the resolution of their lordships to be translated into English, and conveyed it to the hands of several of the government, and one to his excellency himself, who do very much commend the care and courage of their lordships. If the other provinces were in the same esteem here, our work would be soon at an end. What hath past here since the departure of my lord Nieuport, I have desired him to communicate unto your lordship.
My lord,
your lordship's,
Beverning.

Vande Perre to my lord de Bruyne raedt pensionary of the lords states of Zealand at Middleburgh.
Vol. v. p. 226.
My lord,
My last to the lords states of Zealand was the 23d day of this present month. Since my lord Beverning and I have received divers letters from several captains, prisoners at Ipswich and Colchester, desiring that they might be permitted to go abroad upon bail, for which there appears little likelihood; that they will grant any such thing here; but notwithstanding my lord Beverning and I will do our utmost endeavours, and neglect no occasion to accomplish their desires, if it be possible. In the mean time we have received a certain memorandum, whereof a copy is here inclosed, containing the certainty of the present constitution of the fleet, that is come in here, and of all that depends thereon; for which end we made use of a person expresly, whom we rewarded well for his pains, and gave him six pounds over and above for a gratuity; that so when we come to make use of him again upon the like occasion, he may be the more willing and ready to serve us. He is a person both active and able for such designs. Furthermore you will receive by a third hand a character to open a lockt chest 12. 5. 13. 26. 7. 9. 9. 10. 7. 77. 17. 5. 3. 8. 8. 7. 24 and that, which may make for my security. I desire you would keep it safe.
Also this morning early I was offered by the English merchants, that they would get the council of state to release twenty four prisoners of Zealand or others, in case in Zealand the twenty four persons mentioned in the inclosed order of the council of state might be released. If that you release them there, the like will be done here.
Lieut. col. Lilbourn was this day brought to his tryal again, but deserred till further time. It is thought, that the gallows in short or in long will be his foreland. This day here came very strange news, how that the queen of Poland had sent for 150 nuns out of France for the edifying of a convent, and were taken at sea and brought into Dover. It is very considerable, how they will put to sale this kind of commodities for the best advantage of this state. I shall expect by the next an answer to the points of the deliberation in mine formerly comprehended. I remain,
My lord;
Your humble servant,
Vande Perre.

An intercepted letter of Doleman to sir R. Stone.
Vol. v. p.213.
Worthy sir Bobby,
We expect here with impatience some new instructions from your side; for till they come, we must be silent here; and if Holland will close with England, as they desire, and as far as I conceive, will be much for their advantage, we shall soon be good friends. I am resolved now to see the end of it, which I hope will be speedy. Here is little news. Lilburn's business, as it is thought, will be ended this day; but he hath saved himself so often, that till they see him hang, none will believe it. Adieu.
London, 19 Aug. 1653.
An intercepted letter of Doleman to his wife.
Vol.v.p. 214.
My dear goosy,
If you knew how unsatisfied I pass my time here, I am consident you would pity me, and can assure you, that no particular business in the world, of what advantage soever it might have been, should have kept me so long from you. I must consess, I never intended any thing so heartily as this treaty, that is now on foot; and can without vanity say, that if it succeed happily, as I for my part believe it will, I have had my share in contributing unto it. This sending back of two of the deputies will retard our business for some time, at least till the middle of next month; and I am resolved now to see an end of it, which I hope I may do, and yet be with you within six weeks at the furthest. Adieu, my dear heart.
19 Aug. 1653.
P. S. Since I sealed my letter, I received yours. I wonder you will interest yourself so much with any news, as to dispute any thing with any body. In my opinion you should do best not to trouble yourself at all, and not to care whatever side gain. In all your letters you speak of settling ourselves here. Pray undeceive yourself, and be confident, here is nothing to be gotten for us; and if Holland fail us, as bad as it is, Lord have mercy on us. You would be here, and every body here would be glad to be there. Pray send me no more of those complaining letters, for I have chagrin enough here besides.
Jacob Boreel, son to the Dutch ambassador at Paris, to the Dutch deputies at London.
Vol. v.p. 228.
My lords,
By reason my father (fn. 1) for these four or five days hath been most vehemently assaulted with an ague, he hath not been able to write to their high and mighty lordships, and because his sickness doth still continue, he is not able to write to your lordships. I hope in God he will be able to do it against the next week.
(fn. 2) The differences risen between the cardinals Barberini, a Frenchman, præfectus Romæ, and Antonio, do increase more and more; by reason whereof it is thought they are now in earnest, and Antonio had declared himself publicly to stand for the king of France's interest, and that he was a French cardinal naturalized, and that the king had given him the bishoprick of Poictiers, and had made him great almoner of France.
The earl of Oignate, who hath the command and management of the king of Spain's businesses in Catalonia, hath sent thither from Naples several gallies laden with provisions, ammunition, and men; and don John of Austria was also to come for Catalonia with 4000 men to his assistance.
The siege of Gironne doth not go on so luckily as was well hoped for. There comes continual news, that the French have been beaten off from before the town by assaults from within; that they only hold it blocked up at a distance, not daring to venture any more near it.
The Venetian army doth still block up the Turks fleet within the port of Rhodes, where they consume their provisions, not daring to make any assaults upon the Venetians.
Upon the great complaints, which the duke of Mercœur hath made about the plundering and stealing that the French troops do use, who of late have plundered and pillaged the towns of Montalvo, Nice, and de la Paille in Montserrat, the king hath thereupon sent for the earl of Quince, who commanded them, to come to him, and in his place hath sent the marshal de Grance. The Spanish army is yet in the Garonne about Royan. On Monday next the king and the whole court goes for Compiegne, and from thence it is said he is to go further to be crowned. Great preparations are making here for that purpose; but the place and time when, is yet uncertain. They have here by letters given to understand to all the princes of the blood, and also to the prince of Conde, to be present in person at the time of his coronation. Here hath been nothing further done in our treaty since our last. I remain,
My lords,
Your lordships most humble servant,
Jacob Boreel.

Dr. Frazer is come over out of England to the king of England, and he is much better since he came, but keeps his bed still.
Letter of intelligence from Hamburgh.
Stockholm, 20th August, 1653.
Vol.v.p.235.
There is much dispute here about the last engagement between the two differing commonwealths, the Hollanders being persuaded by a young countryman of theirs, who is come hither, and prosessing to have been in the fight himself, affirms, that he saw twelve of the English ships burnt, and that many more were sunk; so that they with the rest were to retire toward England. But for all their boasting it is believed here, and I myself did hear, that a skipper of this country, who with two more did leave the fleet on the 6th instant, reported unto the lord ryx-chancellor's son, grave Erick Oxenstiern, that the Hollanders now were forced to retire themselves in the Texell with great confusion, being soundly beaten; but the just number of those ships lost was not certainly known. Her majesty is to pass hence to morrow with the most part of the nobility unto Wadstena for the burial of duke Adolph's princess, where it is thought she will continue at least fourteen days.
Regensburgh, 7th September, N. S.
From hence no news for the present, his majesty the emperor being absent, and not expected here within these eight days; yet by reason we have advise here, that some days ago his said majesty hath left Munchen, and is gone to perform his devotions at a place called Old Oettinghen, and from thence to return hither, the ryx-sessions in the mean time are continued very earnestly. His highness the duke of Wirtemberg having on Thursday last took his leave very solemnly of his imperial majesty, and all the honourable assembly here, is departed hence and gone home, having left his ambassador here to supply his place.
Copenhagen, the 6th ditto. N. S.
We have notice here, that some thirty Hollands merchant ships are arrived in the road before Dantzick, whereof some are to lade corn there, and others to go to Riga and Queensborough, there to lade hemp, flax, pitch, deal, timber, and then to make all expedition that may be for the Sound, where they are to meet with a convoy of their own ships. All their merchant ships, which lay there, are gone for Holland, upon notice that the English ships were gone from their coasts; only the East India ships remain here still, beginning to unlade some of their best goods; which they send to Lubeck, intending to send them thence in small boats to Amsterdam by the Watts.
Dantzick, the 2d of September. N. S.
From the Polish leaguer no news at all for the present. The plague much increaseth in this city, there dying 700 or 800, which is much for this small place. About thirty Holland merchant ships are come into this road, some whereof came from Amsterdam, others out of France. It is thought they will go to the Sound, and there expect a convoy of theirs to bring them home. The Hollanders here do verily believe, that the English were so beaten in the last fight, that they shall not be able to get men to man another fleet, and the rather, because of these ships, which came from Amsterdam; their agent at Copenhagen being not so urgent for those men of war as formerly, so that he lieth still, the Dane letting the Hollanders do what they please in the Sound.
The commissioners at the Helder to the States General.
Vol. v.p.244.
High and mighty lords,
We should have sent out to sea as yesterday the lord vice-admiral de Witt with those men of war, that lie ready here, and the merchant-men; had we not been prevented and hindered in our designs by the stormy and tempestuous weather. As soon as the soul weather is over, we shall dispatch them away without any delay, for they are there to join with those merchant-men that lie ready there, and to convoy them to the Sound, and to convoy back from thence those merchant-ships that lie there. Furthermore we have ordered the said vice-admiral in his instructions to give notice to the lord Keyser at his first arrival, and to desire a letter back from his lordship, that so he may observe and perform what he shall advise him; and so accordingly to govern himself, in order to the conjunction of the king of Denmark's ships with the fleet of this state. Concerning your high and mighty lordships further orders and instructions, we shall endeavour to put them in execution as fast as we can; and as for the sending of eighteen captains up to your lordships to attend the corpse of admiral Tromp to his grave, we here shall govern ourselves therein, according to your lord ships resolutions. Furthermore we humbly desire, that as soon as the ships are gone to sea, your lordships would be pleased to send for us home, for we conceive ourselves no longer serviceable where we are, when the ships are once gone, lying here at great expences of the state; for the remainder of the ships will require some time first before they be ready, and here are commissioners of the respective colleges of the admiralties to give order for their dispatch.

A letter of intelligence.
Rome, the first of September, 1653. [N. S.]
Vol. v. p. 231.
Sir,
I Received yours of the 31st of July, in answer of which I return what occurrents I have. We hear from Poland, that the Chmielinsky sent deputies to that king for peace, who propounded articles to the purpose, the Cossacks would not accept of. We hear also the Muscovites did besiege with eighty six thousand the cities of Smolencho, Poloschi, and Vicoy, and did dispatch twenty thousand towards the siege of Caspio against the Tartarians and others; and that the king of Persia did cause all Muscovian merchants to be slain in the city in Ispahan for commercing of false silks at unjust rates.
From Venice, eight ships of twelve laden with victuals and other provisions going from Alexandria to Constantinople were taken by the Venetians. The Turkish army went from Rhodes to Solono, whereabout some slight encounters they had with the Venetian army, which for to be provided of water in the nearest islands to that place: thence the Turkish army sailed towards Canea in succour thereof, being followed by the Venetian, resolved to fight wheresoever they meet. In the kingdom of Cyprus there is greater alterations, by reason of some new taxes imposed, as also in Constantinople for the like cause, where some houses were burned by the tumult.
The son and heir to the basha of Scio in Turky was here christened last Sunday by mons. Vicegente, cardinal Antonio being his godfather, who bestowed upon him a chain of four hundred crowns worth, the said prince being in a good condition, and in all possibility keeps a good house. By reason of our sterilous harvest here it was ordered, that all wheatmerchants should have their magazines opened, and sell the aubio of wheat at eight crowns, which gives us good hopes to have bread in plentiness.
From Naples, the elected by the people accompanied by the chief heads of the city did visit that vice-roy with great demonstration of grief for the departure of that vice-roy Conde de Ognate. He the said elected and all the nobility offering to write to his majesty of Spain for to leave him as yet: so all thinking he will depart, they do but search favours for Conde de Castrillo, who they think will come to govern Naples; but I am not sure of it, and do believe Ognate will not be removed in case the king's council of state hear his letters do arrive before Castrillo be imbarked. Three capibanditi, named Conclubet, Matheo Christiani, and Demiano Rossi, betrayed by the famous Marselli his nephews, were put to death in Naples. A muster was made of eight hundred Spaniards in the Arsenall, being all reduced to three companies, whereof one is to go to the garrison of Piombino from Genoa. Five warlike Holland's ships and a Zealander merchant arrived there from Cadiz, and with those ships the certainty of being with child the Spanish queen. From Milan, the Spaniards and French met at Castella Novo, and Brigatts with the loss of the French; the circumstances are not come yet. From Naples, to Milan monies were sent to give each soldier thirteen payments. The packets from Flanders were robbed by Modena; that cardinal of Modena is coming from Rome: his holiness is now better in health, sed senectus ipsa est morbus: some hopes we have of new cardinals, having seven caps vacant. Of the English navies in their seas I hear nothing but well of their scouring in the Holland coasts; as all of the dexterity and marvellous capacity of the lord general Cromwell in all his dispositions, and especially in the last settlement of government; at which omnes stupent. The packet from Germany also was taken away with the same of Flanders. The consistory is just now ended, where we hear nothing to have been resolved. This is all at present from

The number thirty-eight ring a bell?
That would be where Ricky Seals-Jones would rank among tight ends in receiving yards.
The tight end position has been dismal this season for the 6-9 Cleveland Browns.
Part of the problem is that David Njoku has only played in three games this season due to a wrist injury.
Njoku has looked like a backup tight end since his return, totaling one reception for four yards since December 8th.
He was also benched recently for a reported altercation with head coach Freddie Kitchens.
Olivier Vernon inactive forever Browns because of knee. David Njoku a healthy scratch 2d week in a row.
— Tony Grossi (@TonyGrossi) December 22, 2019
On his contract, Njoku has one more year of service, and a club option for a fifth year.
Currently, his stock is low enough for the Browns to trade him, and maybe get a sixth-round pick in return.
Worst case scenario, the Browns keep Njoku for a contract year, and let him prove his worth.
Instead, the Browns should try and cut a deal for any three of these tight ends.
Trey Burton-Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears are likely done with Trey Burton.
His 2019 has been odd since the start of the calendar year.
Burton was a late scratch against the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs.
Since then, it has been an odd season.
After coming off a career-high of 54 receptions and 569 yards last season, Burton has struggled with injuries and inconsistencies as he has just 14 receptions for 84 yards.
Burton has not recorded a catch since October 27th after being placed on the IR on November 11th.
What makes Burton appealing is that the Bears appear to be done with him, but do not want to release him.
According to NBC Sports’ JJ Stankevitz, the Bears “would have little reason to release Burton before 2020’s offseason program-per Spotrac.”
The Bears would only save $1.05 million if Burton was cut after June 1st.
Burton has two years left on his contract, which makes a clean swap of Burton for Njoku a perfect change of scenery for both parties.
Austin Hooper-Atlanta Falcons
If the Browns were to make a splash in free agency, Austin Hooper would make a lot of sense.
The Browns will have an estimated $52 to $55 million in cap space this offseason.
By signing Hooper, you add an offensive upgrade over Njoku, or pair Hooper alongside him.
Let Njoku play for a little bit, and then trade him to a team in need of a tight end for a draft pick midway through the 2020 season.
Hooper could command a salary similar to the likes of Zach Ertz, Kyle Rudolph, or Jordan Reed, who all make between $8-$9 million.
Hooper is having a career year with 68 receptions (needs only four receptions to pass his career-high), for 742 yards and six touchdowns.
Hooper is 6-foot-4, 253 pounds, and a big target that the Browns have lacked all season.
If the Browns could swing both Hooper and a healthy Njoku, now that’s even better.
Jack Doyle-Indianapolis Colts
Jack Doyle is set to be an unrestricted free agent after seven years with the Colts.
His future appears to be with a different team.
At the age of 29, he only has a few more prime years left.
Doyle has consistently been in the shadow of other tight ends in the past, most recently Eric Ebron the last two seasons.
When needed in the passing game, Doyle has shown upside. In 2017, Doyle finished the season with 80 receptions on 107 targets, 690 receiving yards, and four touchdowns.
At 6-foot-6, and 262 pounds, Doyle would be a consistent touchdown target.
Doyle would also be cheap.
His season stats, for now, are 42 receptions (81st in the league), and 442 receiving yards (87th in the league).
Eric Ebron-Indianapolis Colts
What about Doyle’s teammate?
Eric Ebron is set to be a free agent and is a prime candidate for what Mayfield likes in a tight end.
At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, Ebron has been a red-zone target in the past.
Ebron was named to the Pro Bowl last season after recording 66 receptions for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns, which led all tight ends in the league.
After being placed on the IR on November 26th, Ebron would also likely be a cheap option.
Ebron will be 27 next season, which means that he still has plenty of prime years to come.
OJ Howard-Tampa Bay Buccaneers
OJ Howard was once reported to be on the trading block midseason, via Matt Miller of Bleacher Report Insider.
If the Browns are looking to save their money and trade draft capital, Howard could be a prime candidate.
Howard has not lived up to expectations after being drafted 17th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.
The former Alabama product has just 34 receptions for 459 yards and one touchdown.
A chance of scenery could be beneficial for Howard, especially since the Bucs are likely moving on from Jameis Winston.
Howard would likely only cost the Browns a sixth-round pick, something the Browns can certainly afford.
Tyler Eifert-Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are looking like a franchise that is about to be on a path towards full rebuild, which means that it would make little sense to keep a 29-year old tight end.
Tyler Eifert is 6-foot-6, 255 pounds, and someone that is familiar with the division.
Eifert would be a rebuilt project of his own, which makes him very cost-effective.
After a Pro Bowl season in 2015, where Eifert had 13 touchdowns, three straight injury plagued years followed.
In 2016, he played in eight games due to a lingering back issue, and then in 2017 he had surgery for his back. In 2018, Eifert suffered a broken ankle. Due to these injuries, from 2016-2018, Eifert only played in a total of 14 games.
It has been a bounce-back season for Eifert in 2019 though.
Despite playing for a 1-14 Bengals team, Eifert has 41 receptions for 402 yards and three touchdowns.
A healthy Eifert could help a contender with the right quarterback and this pairing of Eifert and Mayfield seems like a healthy relationship.

A Ph.D. degree isn’t meant for everyone. Sometimes, people think that obtaining this degree is just a time waste. But, bigger rewards are waiting for those who’ve achieved a Ph.D. degree in life. Still, the traditional process of attaining this degree is pretty strenuous. There is so much hard work and dedication that one has to put in to obtain a degree. Besides, there are accommodation costs, admission fees, and other miscellaneous expenses that one has to bear as well. However, in today’s time, there are better alternatives to a traditional way of earning degrees. One can simply choose a relevant degree and buy it online to yield its advantages. Let’s look at a few reasons behind buying a Ph.D. degree online instead of earning it through the traditional process,

The best part of buying a Ph.D. degree is that there will be no limitations when it comes to choosing the research topic. Generally, in a Ph.D. degree, students have to choose a research topic on which they get the specialization. After attaining the degree, the student is considered an expert in that particular field. But, traditionally, there is a lot of hard work that goes into earning this specialization. One has to spend his precious time studying, preparing, and researching the topic. However, people who’re wondering where to buy Ph D degree should note that there are no limitations to choosing the research topic. They can choose any sector where they’re most interested in and buy the degree instantly.
2. Instantly Impress Your Recruiters
There’s no denying that the job market is getting fierce every day. The number of aspirants is increasing constantly while the number of vacancies is constantly degrading and this is the primary reason behind this cutthroat competition. During this time, it’s important for candidates to make their resumes stand out to the recruiters. After all, the resume is the only thing that demonstrates one’s ability, hard work, and patience. So, it’s the primary source to make an employer satisfied. When one showcases a Ph.D. degree on their resumes, it creates a great impression on the employers. Aspirants can instantly make this great impression without undergoing the struggle of five years. They can simply place an order for buying this Ph.D. degree and wait for the delivery.
3. Save Yourself From Attending The Boring Lectures
Students can save themselves from attending boring classroom lectures by buying a Ph.D. degree online. Generally, in the traditional educational process, people need to attend classes on a regular basis. There is immense pressure when it comes to finishing the assignments on time. But, purchasing a degree can simply eliminate all these hassles.
In conclusion, these are the three reasons behind buying a Ph.D. degree online. There will no requirement for students to invest in long five years in attending the boring lectures anymore. This is an ideal way to uplift one’s career with minimum investment. |
The Candle Factory Destroyed By The Kentucky Tornadoes Wouldn't Let Employees Leave, According To A New Lawsuit
The lawsuit claims employees were threatened with termination when they asked to leave early due to the impending tornado.
Crews clear the rubble at the Mayfield Consumer Products candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, after it was destroyed by a tornado, on Dec. 13, 2021.
Survivors of the tornado that destroyed a Kentucky candle factory have filed a class action lawsuit against the company, claiming it behaved with "flagrant indifference" to the lives and safety of its workers by refusing to allow them to leave early when the first tornado warnings were issued.
Tornadoes tore through six states on Friday, Dec. 10, leaving destruction in their wake. So far, at least 88 people have been reported dead; 76 of those victims were from Kentucky, the state hit hardest by the disaster. Among them were at least eight people who were inside the candle factory.
The lawsuit alleges that Mayfield Consumer Products, the company that owned the candle factory, had more than three hours' notice that the building was in the path of a tornado but failed to act to ensure the safety of the 110 employees working at the time — and even threatened employees with termination if they left before their shift ended.
"The Defendant knew or should have known about the expected tornado and the danger of serious bodily injuries and death to its employees if its employees were required to remain at its place of business during the pendency of the expected tornado," according to the civil complaint.
The case was filed on behalf of 18-year-old employee Elijah Johnson and "others similarly situated," defined as "natural persons over the age of 18 years [who] were working the night shift for the Defendant... when the tornado hit and destroyed the Defendant's place of business caused their injuries."
On Wednesday, lawyer Amos Jones told the Courier-Journal that the other plaintiffs "are not being identified by name because of real-time reprisals that already have begun."
Fifteen factory employees, including Johnson, told NBC News on Monday that they asked their managers if they could leave as the tornado approached and were rebuffed.
"I asked to leave and they told me I’d be fired,” Johnson said. He told NBC News that when he asked his manager, "Even with the weather like this, you're still going to fire me?" they answered, "Yes."
Mayfield Consumer Products spokesperson Bob Ferguson denied the employees' allegations in a statement to the network, calling it "absolutely untrue."
“We’ve had a policy in place since COVID began," he said earlier this week. "Employees can leave any time they want to leave and they can come back the next day.” BuzzFeed News has reached out to Mayfield Consumer Products for comment on the lawsuit.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Mayfield Consumer Products CEO Troy Propes said that the company was engaging "an independent expert team” to conduct a review of the actions taken by managers and employees in the hours before the tornadoes hit.
"We’re confident that our team leaders acted entirely appropriately and were, in fact, heroic in their efforts to shelter our employees,” Propes told the AP. “We are hearing accounts from a few employees that our procedures were not followed. We’re going to do a thorough review of what happened.”
On Wednesday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said that state investigators will conduct their own review of what happened and the factory's tornado safety practices.
"Everyone is expected to live up to certain standards of both the law, of safety, and of being decent human beings," he said. "I hope everybody lived up to those standards."

Facts vs stories
Politicians spin, brands whitewash and culture comes to us filtered by a partisan media.
Two major developments have made this post-truth world possible: declining public trust in brands and experts, and the explosion of contradictory information available at a click online. Should we really only trust ourselves and our experiences?
It only takes a look at the news to see that facts count for less than stories. The US Presidential election is a case in point. Given his dedicated pursuit of the gloriously untrue and illogical, it wouldn’t be totally surprising if Donald Trump responded to Hurricane Matthew hitting Florida by screaming ‘We’re at war with Atlantis!’ and promising to deport the manatees from the Everglades.
Outrageous? Perhaps not from a man who claimed his Republican rival Ted Cruz was pals with Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, that Mexico sends the US its rapists and criminals and that Putin called him a ‘genius’. All bizarre, all easily proved to be untrue. But all part of shaping a narrative that sells the Trump brand.
Globally famous athletes spin doping scandals into ‘poor me’ tales of woe, while brands dip into their pot of corporate greenwash at a sniff of environmental scandal. We manage our personal brands on social media, editing and crafting the reality of our lives into a product for consumption.
Do actions really speak louder than words?
It would seem it’s not what you do that matters. It’s what you say.
And as we’re exposed to more and more media, we get better at unconsciously filtering what we consume to match and reinforce our tastes. We build our own echo chamber that handily confirms our likes and dislikes – hardening our subjective opinions into objective ‘truths’ that we’ll defend to the death because emotionally we feel them to be correct.
But there’s a contradiction in this landscape where everything comes with a side of side. People crave authenticity. But what’s deemed authentic doesn’t have to be real.
The influence of the mirage
Take Instagram influencers like YesJulz or vloggers like Zoella: that they resonate with their audience isn’t in doubt, but their authenticity is entirely a product of the distancing effects of the screen. You can’t get close to them; they’re mirages shimmering beautifully at a tantalisingly unbridgeable remove.
At least these influencers are real people behind the social handles. For the 65,000 Instagram followers of Louise Delage, not so much. Delage was a creation of BETC Paris for Addict Aide, an organisation seeking to raise awareness of alcoholism in young people. Her 150 posts all pictured her with a drink, showing how addictions can be hidden in plain sight. Clever stuff.
The campaign was a metric success (doff of the cap, BETC), but what’s really interesting is the emotional response to the fact that Delage was a model and a few hashtags, not an actual Gallic boozehound.
Her followers wanted more photos of her – with or without alcohol. They liked her, and the world created for her. She was cool. They identified.
And because the emotional connection was forged through a screen, they didn’t care that she never really existed.
Virtually real
The problem is that if nothing is ever quite real, it’s easy to feel disconnected and disinterested. Everything is passively consumed before being easily dismissed with a click, a left swipe and a tap of the home button.
That’s why experiential is the secret weapon for brands in the post-truth world.
If our culture is composed of narratives and personalities we know aren’t real – whether we care or not – something tangibly experienced has a lot of power. Every touch, sight, smell, taste and sound is ours, unmediated by someone else’s filter.
The brand might be what draws us in, but it can’t control our response to what’s in front of us. We might love it. We could think it’s rubbish. Either way, it’s unarguably happening right here, right now.
Lessons to learn
For us marketeers, the lesson should be to make our clients’ messages as real as possible. Cut through the cynicism to give them something of real value – a physical experience that undeniably and uniquely happened to them.
We recently created an event called The Floating Gaardens for Hoegaarden, a barge packed with experiences that surprised the senses of our audience as they sailed through Hackney Wick’s canals.
It worked because it didn’t tell the brand story: it showed it. The barge itself wasn’t concerned with being authentic, but every little touch that went into creating it was designed to give the people on board something they could interact with personally and turn into their own ‘authentic’ story of the night.
After all, there’s always one source of information you can trust – and that’s yourself.
(Oh, and if your event looks amazing on Instagram, that’s just a happy coincidence, right?)

There is no doubt that there has been tension between many students and college administrators about how their schools handle sexual assault reports. This year, there have been more federal investigations about this issue than ever before, and throughout the country, students have been speaking out against their campus’s faulty policies. Many have even filed complaints against their schools for violating federal laws, like Title IX and the Clery Act.
In the midst of all this controversy and the many debates that have happened across campuses such as James Madison University and Amherst College, Sally Rappaport, a sophomore at Wesleyan University, started a project that fights against victim blaming. Naming it Project “Not Asking For it," Rappaport created a video that promotes the idea that clothing, dance moves and body language are not invitations for sexual assault.
The video starts with a message: “Victims of sexual assault were never ‘asking for it.’ Clothes and dance moves are not consent.” Still frames and clips of dancing Wesleyan students, wearing anything from baggy pants to a mini skirt, are shown as Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop” plays in the background. At the end, there is a call for other schools to create their own videos to help spread the message.
Rappaport started this project because she thought much of the public was misinformed about sexual violence and assault. Before going to college, she, like a lot of her friends from home, did not really know how to identify it.
“There were far too many incidents where people were the victims of assault, and they didn’t even know it or acknowledge it because the retort would be like, 'You were asking for that,'” Rappaport said in an interview with Campus Circle. “That was something that hurt me and I lived with.”
After finally understanding the seriousness of the incidents her friends went through in high school and even in college, she realized that she had an opportunity to finally do something about it. Inspired by a photo of a topless woman taken at SlutWalk, a widespread movement against rape culture and victim blaming, Rappaport decided to launch her own project against sexual assault.
Through support and positive feedback from her friends and peers, Rappaport created the video in April, hoping it would go viral and spread to other schools. And, it did.
By reaching out to her close friends at other colleges and through multiple shares of the video on Facebook, Rappoport's project reached schools in and outside of the U.S. Some of the schools have joined in on the project and created their own videos.
In the Claremont Colleges’ video, creators Shira Feifer and Sydney Fiona added more meaning by also listing various situations when people are “not asking for it.” Beyond saying clothing and dance moves aren’t invitations for assault, sentences like “My gender doesn’t mean I can’t be a victim,” “My intoxication is not ‘asking for it’” and “My flirting is not ‘asking for it’” are shown with the clips.
To many students involved in the project, the rape culture and attitudes towards sexual violence survivors at their schools really need to change. Feifer decided to participate because of this very reason, even though she attends a very liberal and progressive college (Pitzer College).
Eliza Callahan, one of the coordinators of the video created at Columbia University, joined in on this effort because she believes that it promotes safer communities. “People need to feel safe in wearing the clothing they choose to wear and however they choose to present themselves,” she said.
So far, the project has been successful in reaching and informing many students and viewers not involved in the videos. “I had friends come up to me and say that they had never really thought about these ideas surrounding consent before and are now much more aware,” said Josie Hodson, the coordinator of the Stanford University project. “This video is just one piece that raises awareness and keeps the topic fresh on people’s minds.”
With the start of the new school year, seven other colleges—including George Washington University, University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Kansas—are expected to release videos in the fall. Rappaport is also planning on pushing this project even further by either starting a club on her campus or creating another social media project.
“I don’t want these videos to be the end,” she said. “I am determined.”

FDA approves the first targeted therapy to treat a rare mutation in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Today, and acting director of the Office of Oncologic Diseases in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Clinical trials showed a high response rate with almost 85% of patients experiencing tumor shrinkage with this targeted drug.”
GISTs arise from specialized nerve cells found in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. One or more mutations in the DNA of one of these cells may lead to the development of GIST. These cells aid in the movement of food through the intestines and control various digestive processes. More than half of GISTs start in the stomach. Most of the others start in the small intestine, but GISTs can start anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. The activating mutations in PDGFRA have been linked to the development of GISTs, and up to approximately 10% of GIST cases involve mutations of this gene.
The FDA approved Ayvakit based on the results of a clinical trial involving 43 patients with GIST harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, including 38 patients with PDGFRA D842V mutation. Patients received Ayvakit 300 mg or 400 mg orally once daily until disease progression or they experienced unacceptable toxicity. The recommended dose was determined to be 300 mg once daily. The trial measured how many patients experienced complete or partial shrinkage (by a certain amount) of their tumors during treatment (overall response rate). For patients harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, the overall response rate was 84%, with 7% having a complete response and 77% having a partial response. For the subgroup of patients with PDGFRA D842V mutations, the overall response rate was 89%, with 8% having a complete response and 82% having a partial response. While the median duration of response was not reached, 61% of the responding patients with exon 18 mutations had a response lasting six months or longer (31% of patients with an ongoing response were followed for less than six months).
Common side effects for patients taking Ayvakit were edema (swelling), nausea, fatigue/asthenia (abnormal physical weakness or lack of energy), cognitive impairment, vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, hair color changes, increased lacrimation (secretion of tears), abdominal pain, constipation, rash and dizziness. Ayvakit can cause intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding that occurs inside the skull) in which case the dose should be reduced, or the drug should be discontinued. Ayvakit can also cause central nervous system effects including cognitive impairment, dizziness, sleep disorders, mood disorders, speech disorders and hallucinations. If this happens, depending on the severity, Ayvakit should be withheld and then resumed at the same or reduced dose upon improvement or permanently discontinued.
Health care professionals should advise pregnant women that Ayvakit may cause harm to a developing fetus or newborn baby. Additionally, the FDA advises health care professionals to tell females of reproductive potential, and males with female partners of reproductive potential, to use effective contraception during treatment with Ayvakit and for six weeks after the final dose.
The FDA granted this application Breakthrough Therapy designation, which expedites the development and review of drugs that are intended to treat a serious condition, when preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapies. Ayvakit was also granted Fast Track designation, which expedites the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Ayvakit received Orphan Drug designation, which provides incentives to assist and encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.
The FDA granted approval of Ayvakit to Blueprint Medicines Corporation.

presumption that it’s Hillary Clinton’s race to lose.
But some party insiders and opinion leaders are starting to float the idea that California Gov. Jerry Brown should run for president, and the idea may be catching on.
Democrats have a history of nominating …
Read the full column at OORegister.com
Brian Calle is the opinion editor for the Orange County Register
Oh Dear God – We have all had enough of Jerry Brown and his ridiculous liberal BS – When are people going to wake up!!!!?????? He has destroyed CA and now you want him as a President?????????
Yes, for the dog catchers of America. For President of the United States? Not NO, but HELL NO.
With his obsession in securing his legacy in history, he would seriously attempt to build a stairway to heaven, despite all opposition and financial costs at taxpayers expense.
Well we must consider that someone or a group managed to get enough votes to elect (I use that loosely) our present POTUS and as many have observed that California is the pattern for the downfall of America based off the results of the past 40years it could be possible that the uninformed voters will continue to enable the Tax and Spenders.
Brown has made a mess of California, he spends money like a drunken sailor, We have a Fast trans rail system that will never be paid for, and will be subsidized by the Tax payers as long as its been in existence. He has demonstrated that he knows nothing about infrastructure, otherwise we wouldn’t have water storage problems now. Plus at any given opportunity he raises taxes. And check his record on the exodist of businesses…..
he should be running from a hangman’s noose!
Run? He can run that new rail system on which he is wasting our money.
State taxpayers certainly are not getting services they pay for, such as
DMV efficiency, well maintained highways The dual narrow tracks down state routes are like trying to drive on rails. They’re tire- wide, with the rest of the road going unpaved. Tire tracks. Then there is the lack of water storage dams where the north must give all to the lower state, starting at San Francisco and on down.
Plus this moonbeamer is so like Obama, I wouldn’t wish him on the rest of our poor nation.
YES!!! In Mexico…or Honduras…or Guatamala….or Nicaragua…there are too many ex-pats in Costa Rica so they won’t want him down there!
He LOVES those people so yea…..go on down there and campaign and take your illegal voters with you!
Absolutely NOT. His second time around as our governor has destroyed California. Moon Beam Brown would do the same for our country.
Jerry Brown should run, that would get him out of California and the rest of the people could suffer also.
The Dem Primary has all the potential of turning into a classic Clown Show:
Shrillary, Fauxcahontas, Slow-Joe, Moonbeam, and now possibly Lurch.
Oh darn, I just duplicated your post, sorry.
Jerry Brown belongs in prison not serving public office.
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! HE IS A TERRIBLE GOVERNOR…WHY LET HIM INFECT ALL OF AMERICA WITH HIS INEPTNESS! COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT MAKES MORE SENSE, PLEASE!
Please NO!! Enough of these old hacks. We need new people ..
Holy Cr___ what an insane suggestion!!!. Brown is despised in California by everyone except illegals and his Sacramento cronies and some nut jobs in the Bay Area who would live in Communes if asked.
He bankrupted the State…THREE times. Destroyed our Agriculture (once known world wide as the Bread Basket of America)), has built more debt than any three governors. given education, licenses and medical to illegals, unemployment is at a REAL 11+% and THIS is called success?
Governor Moon Beam’s inability to grasp cause and effect in this once great Industrial/Agricultural giant, has driven a record number of businesses OUT OF CALIFORNIA…… even TOYOTA!!. The jobs he has sent overseas due to his Moon Beam regulations are immeasurable….
PLEASE ANYONE tell us what ONE thing he has done to increase the QUALITY of education, the management of water (of which we have plenty to feed So Cal if the moron would buck the environmentalists, regard living HUMANS with the same dignity and remove the Ca Smelt from Sacramento’s Pump station No 3…instead of dumping BILLIONS of gallons of potable water into the Ocean???????), the deregulation of businesses, the reduction of State Taxes, and the reduction/ elimination of benefits for Illegals. NOT immigrants…ILLEGAL immigrants.
PLEASE tell the idiot at the OC who wrote this black comedy piece that we sincerely hope he is kidding and print an apologetic retraction of his piece to the remaining working people of California…NOW.
This state is sinking in debt and he wants to build a Hi speed train to NO WHERE to put his name on as he has FAILED inn every other lame azz project he has attempted.
Brown would make Obama look like a Tea Party Conservative.
Yes he should run for President that would get him out of our hair at least for a while in CA. If by a very very very small chance he would be elected he would be worse than Barry Soetoro . On second thought I don’t think moonbeam should run the way Dem’s vote he would fit right in with Barry to totally run our country in the grown. Vote no way Brown.
YES YES YES, it’ll be comedy hour between Fauxohauntis, Moonbeam, Unkle Jo-Jo, Hitlery, ID10T Kerry.
Yes – president of Cuba !!!!!!!!!!!!
Moonbeam has caused problems enough in California without unleashing him on t he U.S. of A. Please convince him to quit while we still have a chance, albeit very slim, of recovery here in California..
Puke.
He would be worse than Obama
In a state where public employee democrats rule Brown is safe . Perhaps the rest of the country is trending to a California like values is an open question.
Brown definitely should not run for president. Isn’t he Obama’s father? |
>> Lyons
Season stats: 1-0, 8.64 ERA, 27 G, 16.2 IP, 24 H, 3 HR, 8 BB, 19 K, 5.02 FIP, 1.920 WHIP, 10.3 K/9, -1.0 bWAR
Hero/Goat: Goat 2
Overall grade: D-
Positives: Still had a strong strikeout rate, with a double-digit K/9….was not charged with a run in 18 appearances, though in fairness few of those were full innings….allowed just 26% of inherited runners to score….had a 0.00 ERA in June (one inning)….his OPS was 200 points lower against lefties….batters had a .751 OPS in Busch Stadium….had a .538 OPS against when he was ahead in the count….had a .429 OPS against when pitching on two days’ rest….the club thought enough of him to retain him in the organization after he cleared waivers in July….had a 2.49 ERA in Memphis with a .149 BAA against.
Negatives: Unfortunately, there’s a long list of them….was charged with multiple runs five times, including four in his next-to-last outing against the Cubs on July 21….righties had an OPS of 1.108 against him, so the fact that lefties were 200 points less isn’t quite as notable as it first appears….batters had a 1.274 OPS away from St. Louis….his home ERA was 5.59 and that was much better than his road mark….in three games in the second half of the season, he allowed five hits in nine at bats and walked two batters….if batters swung at the first pitch they had a 1.071 OPS….if they hit the first pitch the OPS rose to 1.909 and two of his home runs came on the first offering….the first batter he faced slashed .360/.370/.720….batters hit .480 with runners in scoring position….batters had a .867 OPS in late and close situations….allowed a .300 average in high leverage situations….gave up a 1.022 OPS with zero days’ rest.
Overview: You know how much this season from the Patron Pitcher of the Blog pained me, I’m sure. Health was an issue with Lyons some this year, but it couldn’t explain just how terribly wrong things went. When the Cardinals released him as part of the late July shakeup, there was really no argument against the move. I was glad to see that he stayed in the organization, hoping that maybe he could find what he was missing in Memphis and get another chance, but even though he pitched better (and made three starts for the Redbirds), there just wasn’t a spot on the 40-man or in the bullpen to let him get another major league crack.
Outlook: Lyons elected free agency at the end of the season and while it’s still possible he’d return to St. Louis, you have to figure he’s going to look for a spot where the road to the bigs isn’t quite as clogged. Which means that this is likely the last we’ve seen of the Patron Pitcher of the Blog. Perhaps not the title–we’ll see who gets the coveted #70 in the future–but Lyons has been a sentimental favorite around these parts since his debut and I definitely will miss him. If he returns to Memphis, great, but if not, I wish him the best and I hope we get to see him in the bigs with someone else sooner rather than later. |

Spotting These Typical Online Poker Tells Will Certainly Make You a judi online
The texas hold’em boom has actually decreased, however the increase of players that proceed inhabiting the online poker spaces is startling. On-line casino poker players have the deluxe of hiding behind their avatars.
Nonetheless, live texas hold’em players are confronted with a collection of obstacles. Every breath is thoroughly gauged by your opponents.
In fact, every move you make at the poker table will be scrutinized by wise players. Fortunately, you can make use of these judi online actions to your benefit.
Detecting these usual tells will certainly assist you win much more when playing casino poker genuine cash.
When a Player Is Performing Extremely Melancholy
Gamers are constantly trying to veil their real feelings in the casino poker areas. That can make it exceptionally testing to put some players on a hand.
When a player is sitting on killer cards, they do not want you to get the truth that you will get pounded.
Envision sitting throughout from a player that sees the flop, derive from their chair, and begins dancing around the table. You ‘d probably fold up, as well as there would likely be some extreme words traded.
When a gamer has a strong hand, the last point they desire is for other players to fold their cards. They ‘d prefer that you are positive enough to not just inspect; they want bets.
If an opponent can get you betting by making you believe they’re weak, it’ll be far too late when you understand your blunder.
Expect players that are sagged over acting entirely beat. You can make a little wager to push them out of the hand when they are truly beat.
Nonetheless, take time out if they reluctantly call or attempt to check-raise you.
Preventing Eye Get In Touch With Is a judi online
The eyes are often referred to as the home windows to the spirit, and also this is especially real at the texas hold’em table. Players will put on mirrored sunglasses and also pull their hats low to cover their eyes.
When players obtain strong beginning hands, they tend to attempt to act extremely nonchalant. I have actually captured myself looking at the table or viewing the televisions beyond of the casino poker areas with monster hands.
Pocket Aces Texas Hold’em Hand
It’s hard to battle the urge to prevent taking a look at your other gamers. So, if you find yourself in a hand with an opponent that is going out of their method to appear indifferent, proceed with care.
Preventing eye call can be a double-edged sword. Novice players may do the precise same thing when bluffing.
I believe this is a result of online poker getting so much tv insurance coverage over the past twenty years. Regardless, if your opponent instantly has that thousand-yard gaze, something is happening under the surface.
Unsteady Hands May Represent a Strong Hand
Adrenaline is a funny thing. We have this immediate thrill. Our bodies often don’t know what to do with every one of the judi online energy actually rushing through our blood vessels.
Such as the situation when a player tosses their contribute with noticeably trembling hands, you have actually most likely experienced this type of nervous energy.
Worried energy comes from our core, an internal reaction that dates back to the very first amongst the human race: battle or flight. Nevertheless, in this case, it’s all fight as well as no trip. You have to understand that distinction. Numerous texas hold’em players assume that unstable hands show anxiety. So, this unstable player should be bluffing you off a hand.
In reality, the gamer is trembling with expectancy of a phone call or a raise. I keep in mind playing my first “big money” game in university.
I was playing hands against some of the very best casino poker gamers in the state, guys that had been around the casino poker block more than once or twice. I flopped capacity aces over jacks and also immediately really felt the irrepressible rush. As I went to select my chips as much as bet, I observed my hands drinking visibly.
To me, it felt like I was shaking a martini, but it appeared to go undetected due to the fact that two players followed me in wagering.
I won the hand as well as a significant pot, yet the lesson was more valuable. By controlling your breathing, some of that power can be dispelled.
Absolutely nothing will boring the edge of that sharp spike-like having fun hundreds of poker hands. Consider just how your judi online is placing their bets in the pot. There’s useful information being offered free of cost.
Review Your Challenger’s Face Shade
I’m positive that blood hurries to my face under the best conditions, and also there’s a subtle enhancement of color.
The right conditions can create a spike in blood pressure, and I have actually never ever been excited regarding a garbage hand. It comes from catching a hand that can make or damage a session or competition.
When you have seen a challenger bet with a bit of added color showing through their impassivity, wage care. My brother-in-law won’t ever before enter into a pot with me.
Poor person’s face transforms beet red whenever he’s sitting on a game-changing hand.
Consider Just How Your Opponent Carries Themself
How your challenger provides themselves can show you fairly a great deal about their poker design.
For instance, if a player is squared away with a sharp appearance, they typically play an elegant game. They will focus on the percentages and chances to assist their decision-making.
Alternatively, a gamer that takes a seat to the table looking disheveled as well as unkempt might be much more proper to play loose and cost-free.
judi online 4 of a Kind
The exact comparisons can be attracted in between just how a gamer piles their chips. Efficient neat heaps indicate a precise kind of gameplay. Careless as well as chaotic heaps might be an indicator of a looser style of play.
Observe just how a gamer responds to their opening cards. Often, this can be the strongest indication of what cards your opponent has.
Seeing your challenger react to their opening cards is especially crucial during cash money games where you’re bordered by fish.
Certainly, you ought to never judge a publication by its cover– unless you go to the texas hold’em table.
Waiting With Bated judi online
Breathing is undoubtedly of utmost relevance, yet we seldom take it right into consideration. This is a fantastic way to evaluate when a player is sitting on a wonderful hand or bluffing.
Players that are bluffing will make added efforts to slow their breathing as well as appear trendy and collected. The last thing they’ll desire you to do is to call, and also they are under the impact that you’ll fold up by remaining tranquility.
However, it’s actually when a player has an excellent hand that their breathing rate rises. This is an involuntary action that can be tough to detect however may pay significant returns.
Many gamers think that when a challenger gets on a weak hand, they begin to take a breath extra swiftly to accommodate their enhanced heart price. This may hold true in some but not all circumstances.
Still, typically, a gamer taking brief fast breaths has a solid hand.
Players Will Attempt to Job the judi online of Their Hand
There’s one constant for all types of poker gamers. Players are continuously attempting to task that they have the reverse of what they’re holding.
So, when a gamer is acting solid, they usually have a weak hand. The gamer is trying to terrify you out of the pot due to the fact that they understand they’re beat or else.
That’s not true every hand played, however it’s an excellent indicator that an opponent has weak cards. They could attempt to gaze you down or make a statement about calling.
The latter is in terrible taste, but I have actually been “alerted” not to call many times to go on and win an easy hand.
Online poker Chips on a judi online
It’s actually the gamer’s showing a weak hand that is the genuine problem. If you have actually got the table beat, the last point you wish to do is tip anyone off.
Usually, these players might limp right into the pot after an unnecessary hold-up. They’ll attempt to offer themselves as having an inferior hand that might capture a longshot draw.
Watch when a challenger is seemingly heading out of their way to make it seem like they have a horrible hand. An overwhelming bulk of these hands suffice to defeat you.
When you have the nuts versus a gamer that is acting weak, milk them for every single buck readily available. These are the rare hands when you can make a session rewarding or reach money in an event.
Is Your Opponent Monitoring Out Stacks?
When you have weak cards, the last thing you’re going to do is look around to compute a bet. Those unusual circumstances when you have actually obtained a beast, you’ll be looking around at chip heaps to formulate a wagering strategy for the hand.
Focus on players glancing around the table at everyone’s chips. These gamers likely have a strong hand and also wish to know how much they can judi online without frightening gamers off.
To prevent yourself from succumbing this tell, examine chip heaps between hands. That need to offer you a rough idea of where everybody at the table rests.
Area A Lot More Tells in Your Next Poker Game
Online poker is amongst one of the most interesting and satisfying gambling establishment video games on the planet. You must take these nuggets as well as remember them when you’re creating your casino poker design.
Identifying these common texas hold’em informs will make you a champion. It will additionally give you a strong foundation of things to avoid while at the casino poker table, translating into larger victories in the future.

A plea bargain is made between a prosecutor and defendant in a criminal case where the suspect pleads guilty or nolo contendere to a charge in return for a concession made by the prosecutor.
What Type of Legal Representation Is Best For Prisoners?
Cell Block Legendz Does Not Own The Rights To This Image.
A prisoner, just like a freeman, is entitled to legal representation among other constitutional and administrative protections although they do not have full constitutional rights. But, What Type Of Legal Representation Is Best For Prisoners? Lawyers and public defenders play a major role in prisoner litigation and legal defenses. They investigate the necessary information, help in the commutation of sentences, and provide alternative modes of representing disputes.
As of 2016, it was recorded that about 2.2 million Americans have been incarcerated at one point or the other. This means that for every 100,000 people in the US, there are 655 inmates. This has resulted in prison congestion and also generated a lot of revenue for the government.

Robert Forward’s Indistinguishable from Magic is a genial and absorbing read, a collection of essays and fiction illustrating some of the scientist’s most memorable ideas. And while gigantic lightsails driven by laser beam to other stars always come to mind when Forward’s name is mentioned, it’s fascinating to page through his thoughts on antimatter, black holes and time machines. Long a Forward admirer, I was pleased to see that another of the concepts discussed in this book recently made an appearance at this month’s solar sail conference in Brooklyn.
‘Statites’ are a Forward construct, a word he coined to describe a spacecraft that uses a solar sail to hover over a region rather than orbiting the Earth. Let Forward describe what he calls a ‘technique for hanging things in the sky’:
.
You can see where Forward is going with this. This is a solar sail that isn’t designed for transport but for station-keeping, and it offers options that other kinds of satellite do not. But maybe satellite is the wrong word:’).
Forward always noted that he had made no money from his patent, but said he didn’t want to make the mistake Arthur C. Clarke did when he failed to obtain a patent on his idea of the geosynchronous communications satellite. In a short story included in Indistinguishable from Magic called ‘Race to the Pole,’ Forward writes about a statite called the ‘Hovering Hawke’ that uses a kilometers wide square lightsail to support a powerful broadcast satellite. Such a ‘polesitter’ would, by Forward’s calculations, need to be too distant to serve as a communications satellite, but direct broadcast or weather surveillance would be robust applications.
Just how distant would a polesitter have to be? In this passage from the story, a scientist explains the difficulty a statite would experience maintaining a stable position as the Earth’s seasons change:
“The control problem of keeping the [statite] balanced over the pole is very tricky, especially during the summer season of that hemisphere when the polar axis is over on the sunlit side of the Earth. That’s why ‘pole-sitters’ have to be placed so far away from the Earth. If they get any closer than 250 Earth radii, they become unstable during the summer.”
Forward’s patent ran out in February of this year, but his idea is beginning to gain traction. At the Second International Symposium on Solar Sailing, which ended just last week, Matteo Ceriotti reported on work with Colin McInnes describing what Forward called ‘displaced orbits’ that would allow geosynchronous telecommunications satellites to be deployed to the north or south of the Earth’s equator. Working with graduate student Shahid Baig, McInnes (University of Strathclyde) has published a new paper that shows the viability of displaced orbits. Says McInnes:
“Satellites generally follow Keplerian Orbits, named after Johannes Kepler – the scientist who helped us understand orbital motion 400 years ago. Once it’s launched, an unpowered satellite will ‘glide’.”
Image: Analog‘s December, 1990 issue contained an article by Robert Forward describing the ‘polesitter’ concept, one of many innovative ideas the scientist introduced to a broad audience. Credit: Condé Nast.
No, we’re not in ‘polesitter’ range, not yet, anyway. But these displaced orbits would allow solar sails — McInnes is interested in hybrid sails complemented by electric propulsion systems — to be displaced between 10 and 50 kilometers from the equator. As we continue our work with solar sails, finding ways to make them robust enough to handle polar stationary orbits seems like a reasonable expectation. Another Forward concept thus moves into sharper definition. I can only imagine how much the late Dr. Forward would have enjoyed sitting in on the relevant session at the solar sail conference, and reading the McInnes paper.
The paper is Baig and McInnes, “Light-Levitated Geostationary Cylindrical Orbits are Feasible,” Journal of Guidance, Control and Dynamics, Vol. 33, No. 3 (2010), pp. 782-793 (preprint). You’ll also enjoy reading the non-fiction piece Robert Forward wrote for Analog. It’s “Polesitters,” published in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact Vol. 110, No. 13 (December, 1990), pp. 88-94.
It’s a really cool idea, and I am a huge Robert Forward fan.
however, I really don’t believe someone should be allowed to patent something without showing the capability to build it. Arthur C. Clarke for instance didn’t patent the geo-sync satellite, and we have lots. How much worse off would we be if he’d been a money grubber who only licenced them to the highest bidder, and we now had 4 or 5 because that was how he made most money?
Just a thought
250 Earth radii is 1.5 million km, way further than the moon. Seems not nearly as useful an orbit as GEO or the Lagrange points.
Not to detract from Forward’s genius, though, I am a fan myself.
I think patents last 20 or 25 years. So, given the snail pace of space things, a lot of them will be expired by the time one gets around to use them.
This is particularly true for grandiose schemes well ahead of their time.
One of the conditions for a patent is “enablement”. The description should enable “those with ordinary skill in the art” to “practice the invention”. That would seem very difficult if the inventor him- or herself has never “practiced the invention”. Maybe I am misunderstanding, but it indeed seems that Mark is right and this type of patent should not be granted. Nevertheless, you can find quite a lot of issued ones. I find this one is particularly interesting:
Hi Paul
Love that book. My local library had a copy but then sold it off as an ‘old book’ when I wasn’t there to snatch it for a bargain price. C’est la vie.
Adam, if you haven’t already bought a used copy elsewhere, very cheap (including postage) copies of “Indistinguishable From Magic” are available from numerous AbeBooks.com-affiliated booksellers (see: ).

“Indistinguishable from Magic” is available as an ebook download dirt cheap from Baen Books too. |

Albin Hillert reports from Colombia on how the Lutheran Church is helping former combatants to build purposeful lives
The sociologist Ana Eloísa Gómez leads a workshop in the community centre at San José de León
“IT’S LIKE building a new life again, like starting to dream again — to believe that there is a possibility of leaving the life you have lived behind; to close the book you were reading and open a new one,” Luz Alcira Ocampo Gómez, a former revolutionary combatant in Colombia, says.
It has been two years since the Colombian government and FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) guerrillas signed a peace treaty in Havana (News, 2 September 2016); today, Ms Gómez is one of a group of former FARC combatants who have settled down for a peaceful life in the valley of San José de León, in the region of Urabá, Colombia.
The two-year-old community, which does not yet have a name of its own, exists in an area that serves as a corridor for trade into Central America, and ex-combatants live a fragile peace: the arms trade and drug trafficking keep armed groups active locally. But, in San José de León, a strong collective has come together.
A group of 27 ex-combatant families first purchased the lot of land, moving from Córdoba near by to settle alongside the 50-or-so families of farmers already living in the area. Today, that number has almost doubled to 50 ex-combatant families. The area has a small restaurant and various committees for community organisation and development, and cultivates the land through agriculture, and poultry and fish farming.
“My dream it is to see this country in peace,” says Joverman Sánchez Arroyave, formerly known as Rubén Cano, a commander in the FARC.
“SO, WHAT do we mean by forgiveness? And what do we mean by reconciliation?” Ana Eloísa Gómez, a sociologist leading a workshop in the community centre, asks, as we arrive in the valley.
“We know that there are many things that hurt, that keep us apart. But maybe we can also think of things that unite us, that help keep us together as a nation?” she asks the 40 or so workshop participants.
She explains that her work is part of a project run by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia, De la Guerra a la Paz (“From War to Peace”).
Part of the ecumenical initiative of the Lutheran World Federation, “Waking the Giant”, the Church offers training in trauma-management to those working to build peaceful lives, as well as guidance on legal issues, particularly relating to ownership of land. Supporting more than 300 families in the larger Antioquia area, they seek to alleviate the risk of re-victimisation, or relapse into violent conflict, by offering support to both ex-combatants and the communities into which they are reintegrating.
ALBIN HILLERT/LWFLuz Alcira Ocampo Gómez is active in the work of both gender and health committees in the community of San José de León, north-west Colombia
A key aspect of the 2016 peace treaty was the promise of access to lands for guerrilla combatants who laid down their weapons: first, as a transition, and then through permanent ownership. But progress has been slow, and, in the wake of this year’s election — won by Iván Duque, a conservative who has argued that the peace deal is too lenient on former guerrillas — there are concerns that the government will not deliver on its commitments.
“In one way, one of our biggest threats today is the State,” the president of the community board of San José de León, Maribel David Galiano, explains. “For example, as we are in an area that is very rich in clean water, to make sure the State doesn’t allow mining companies or others to exploit or damage this resource.
“But also that people know about the reality of life in our communities, that we are people who want to work, live in peace, who want our communities to develop.”
MS GÓMEZ explains that she is active on both a gender and a health committee in the community, working to change norms. “It’s like having a vision — both frightening, and like you really want to continue, to hope, and to build something new,” she says.
She describes efforts to find an equilibrium in what has traditionally been a strongly male-dominant culture. “I remember, when I was a child, that before I was 12 years old I knew how to embroider, I knew how to cook, and I knew how to take care of a home. Why? Because even going to school was a problem for me, unlike for my brothers and my male cousins.
Every RC bishop in Chile offers to resign; Woman archbishop elected in Canada; Melanesian Anglicans hold Decade of Evangelism; Nicaraguan Church convenes national dialogue; Algerian Christians fined in crackdown, CSW says
“This doesn’t mean that the men have always treated us badly, but that we must reflect on why they think like that, why they’ve thought for so long that women should be subordinate or just remain in the home without the right to move or think freely.”
A lifelong struggle comes to the surface, to create space for women to do things only men have traditionally been allowed to do.
“In one way, this is more about a balance than a struggle,” she explains. “At the same time, it’s like you’re now trying to become part of a context where you haven’t been included before, where women haven’t been considered capable of contributing in all areas, and where you’ve often heard the word todos [“everyone”] about people in general, and known that you’re not really included in the meaning of that word.
ALBIN HILLERT/LWFThe community gathers for a meal after the day’s workshop
“At least now, as a result of our work, we see that our struggle for gender equality has achieved a more inclusive language. Today, we talk about not only being todos, but that we are both todas and todos.”
She concludes: “Even if there are some physical differences between men and women, that we are different, we are still all equal as human beings, we all have feelings — some are more emotional than others, and if a man is romantic and caring, this doesn’t make him any less of a man. On the contrary, he is twice as much a man as the others.
Rights violations reported. Despite Colombia’s 2016 peace agreement, “Violations of human rights, including attacks on the civilian population and severe restrictions on religious freedom, continue or have grown worse in many parts of the country,” a report published last week by Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) says, writes Madeleine Davies.
Violations documented include prohibition of, or severe restrictions on, religious activity, and threats, extortion, assassination, and forced displacement of church leaders. This includes the murder of a 55-year-old pastor by an illegal armed group.
The FARC, the National Liberation Army, right-wing neo-paramilitary groups, and criminal bands are all responsible for the violations, CSW says.

CIDON REMODELS THE HOTEL MELIÁ VILLAITANA
CIDON Interior Design & Contract, experts in interior architecture and decoration, as well as in equipment management of FF&E and OS&E for the hotel sector, has been in charge of the integral remodelling of the interior of the Meliá Villaitana hotel for HI Partners.
Inspired by the Mediterranean villages, the Meliá Villaitana hotel in Benidorm combines quality services, exquisite gastronomy, two golf courses and activities for the whole family. Located on the beautiful Costa Blanca, this holiday complex has modern facilities, elegant and bright rooms and a wide range of restaurants of the highest standard.
In 2017, the hotel management company HI Partners (Blackstone Group) acquired the hotel complex and took over its management. In order to adapt this hotel to the needs of the current clients, HI Partners is working on the repositioning of the hotel with the help of different suppliers. CIDON was in charge of remodelling the interior of the complex.
A 360º remodelling that preserves the essence of the hotel
The interior design project of this Costa Blanca hotel has been carried out by CIDON in an integral way. Carried out in different phases, it started in December 2017 and will be practically finished in May 2019.
With a moderate investment in FF&E of between 3 and 4 million euros, the result has far exceeded the expectations of all players involved in the project, which entails a great execution value, having achieved a very good result and meeting tight deadlines to meet the opening times of the hotel.
CIDON has been in charge of the remodelling of the 455 rooms of the Meliá Villaitana hotel, including those corresponding to The Level at Meliá Villaitana, the 5-star area of the hotel complex.
The Hotel Meliá Villaitana offers its clients a wide gastronomic offer with a selection of the freshest products on the market, the basis of a Mediterranean cuisine that combines local recipes with creative cuisine. Its guests can enjoy, without leaving the hotel, an exquisite gastronomic bet in an attractive and welcoming atmosphere.
CIDON has also remodelled all the F&B areas of the hotel complex, taking charge of the complete aesthetics of four restaurants in the Villaitana: Casa Nostra, Papa Mambo, Mosaico and Botanic.
The work developed by CIDON has managed to preserve the original Mediterranean look of the hotel, in line with the new corporate image of Meliá, with a modern air that merges with elements of the local culture, all integrated into the environment. The new decoration is fresh and welcoming, balanced in the spaces, respecting the individuality of the hotel and its continent.
After the success achieved in this first joint project, HI Partners has contracted the services of CIDON for new hotel projects to be carried out in the coming months.

The biggest move made at the biggest position of need (guard) was that the Cincinnati Bengals re-signed Quinton Spain.
Sure, you can spin that into optimism, as Spain only joined the team mid-season, but fans were hoping for dramatic improvement from the position that failed quarterback Joe Burrow on his season-ending injury.
As NFL Draft talk heats up and pre-Draft trades go down, it seems more and more likely that the Bengals will be in position to draft the gifted and massive Penei Sewell, a 20-year-old tackle out of Oregon who opted out of last season.
For as athletic as he is, Sewell could still benefit from the opportunity to refine his technique as a tackle in the NFL. The Bengals have an outstanding offensive line coach in Frank Pollack, who will help Sewell get there eventually. In the mean time, though, the team may choose to ride with Riley Reiff and Jonah Williams as its tackles.
So where would that leave Sewell?
It is possible that he could begin his professional career as a guard. While that switch doesn’t work for every player (see Fred Johnson last year), our John Sheeran explains why he thinks Sewell can make the transition in the video below:
You can also listen on iTunes or using the player below:
“If Sewell is here, ideally you want to get him on the starting field. You don’t want to have him sit behind those two tackles,” said Sheeran. He continued to say, “I think you could theoretically play him at guard just to clean up some of the issues he has, and he does still have issues. We’re not talking about a clear plug-and-play Pro Bowler from day one.”
So what does it take for a tackle to move to guard?
“It’s a lot about athleticism and size,” said Sheeran. “I think with Sewell, he’s a mammoth out there. He’s got 35” arms, and he played around 330 [lbs] at Oregon, so he has plus-athleticism for that size. The main difference is how wide and how long are your sets in pass protection, because you’re not really getting out there and running around edge rushers, so it’s a little bit more compact. And if you have the length and athleticism to get out of your stance in run-blocking sets, you should be fine. Obviously, Sewell’s never played guard before. If they just drill him in throughout the entire offseason to start him there, I think he’ll be fine. But obviously it is a projection, and it is a transition.”
And why would this be different from Johnson’s (failed) transition last year?
“Leverage is very important when you’re playing more inside, because you have smaller defensive tackles who can get under your pads, and that’s how Geno Atkins won all the time against other guards. So he has to make sure he has his pad level correctly. That’s why Michael Jordan has struggled. At 6’6”, he has terrible pad length, unfortunately. He can’t get lower, and he loses leverage, and that compounds a lot of other issues.”
Still, Sheeran doesn’t think it would necessarily be Sewell who makes the move:
“I think it comes down to whomever amongst Riley Reiff and Penei Sewell is more comfortable at guard, that is where you should go. And I think if you want to have Sewell at right guard for a year and then move him out to right tackle, kinda like what they did with Andrew Whitworth back in the day before they moved him out to left tackle, I think that’s fine. But if you want to have Reiff just there as your stopgap right guard and have a guard to develop behind him later in the Draft, that’s also a viable option.” |
Defining all the recurring themes in one place.. We see stupas being built for the first time during the time of Ashoka. He is believed to have commissioned the construction of 84000 stupas.
The components of a Stupa are shown in the diagram below
For the uninitiated, the practitioner does not enter the stupa, it is a solid object. Instead, the practitioner circumambulates (walks around) it on the pradakshina path (refer above) as a meditational practice focusing on the Buddha’s teachings.
The following video of circumambulation will give you some idea.
2. Chaityas and Viharas
Buddhist rock-cut architecture was primarily Chaityas or Viharas. Chaityas were congregational prayer halls while viharas were places for monks to rest.
The video explains them in considerable depth.
Further, students can refer to this presentation for an in-depth analysis.
3. Pillars
During the reign of Ashoka many monolithic stone pillars were built to preach his Dhamma. Each pillar has 3 components – the prop (which is buried under the ground), the shaft – the straight column and the capital – which has the seated animal. Watch this video to understand in detail the components of the Sarnath Pillar.
Characteristics of the pillars are as follows
- Monolithic meaning carved out of one stone.
- 2 kinds of stones used – Chunar sandstone, Varanasi and Spotted-red sandstone, Mathura
- Highly polished surfaces – known as Mauryan polish.
- These pillars are plain and undecorated.
- Capitals – Capitals are the crowning element atop the pillar. This capital is also termed as the ‘bell capital’ which resembles an inverted lotus.
- Abacus – Platform over which the seated animal rests.
- Crowning animal – The topmost portion contains a crowning animal. Various animals are used on different pillars.
These pillars were inspired from Achaemenid pillars of middle-east.
- It has been suggested that Ashoka got the idea of inscribing proclamations on pillars from the achaemenids.
- The polished surface.
- Capital design including motifs like inverted lotus and the animals.
- The stiff heraldic pose of the lions is seen as further evidence of western influence.
However they significantly differed from them in many ways. They were monolithic pillars carved out of a single stone while Achaemenian pillars were made by placing bounders one on top of the other.
4. Bodhisattva
Related to the Mahayana sect, Bodhisattva is buddha in his previous birth. It has all the qualities to enable him attain nirvana but sacrifices doing so by choice to let his disciples have a chance at attaining it.
The Jataka tales contain a vast body of folklore in which the Bodhisattva, whether in human or animal form makes great sacrifices in order to help others. These are represented across different buddhist architectures.
The most common Bodhisattavas are Avalokiteshvara & Vajrapani found in Ajanta cave paintings. You can read about various boddhisattavas in our Ajanta and Ellora Case study.
An exhaustive list of various Bodhisattvas and where they belong can be found here –
A must-watch video for more on Bodhisattavas.
5. Mudras of Buddha
Buddhas and Bodhisattavas are shown with their hands forming a number of different ritualized and stylized poses (Mudrâs). Each by itself and in combination with others have specific meanings. Abhayamudrâ is the most common mudra.

5 Brilliant Uses of Chatbots That Would Leave You Surprised
Technology has made it a lot easier for us to complete our daily tasks. From ordering food to booking flights, everything can be achieved at the click of a button.
But what happens when we need assistance or face a problem with any of these? We turn to the customer support. Now what if I told you that this service does not necessarily have to be manned by a human being?
Enter chatbots.
A computer program that is designed to stimulate conversation with a person. How does this help? It communicates with a customer just as a customer support executive would. It answers questions, handles requests and astonishingly, mimics human decision-making!
Chatbots have evolved since their inception and have found use in multiple industries. Let’s take a look at some chatbot implementations that would amaze you.
Erica – Bank of America
Bank of America has launched a virtual assistant that goes by the name of Erica. Erica can help the bank’s customers manage their finances through the bank’s mobile app. Erica can provide balance information, pay bills, answer banking-related queries etc. It also has a predictive feature that provides advice on savings too!
Zootopia Bot
We all remember the comedy-adventure movie Zootopia. Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde uncover the mystery of the missing predators. You would be surprised to know that a Facebook Messenger bot was released for the fans of this Disney movie where they could engage in a one-on-one mystery-solving game with Judy Hopps. This inquiry-based bot allowed fans to investigate different mysteries through questions and the bot would respond accordingly. Sadly, the Zootopia chatbot lasted only for 16 days.

Endurance Chatbot
Endurance Robots, a Russian-American technological startup, has come up with a chatbot designed to communicate with patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. This was designed to overcome the challenges that dementia-diagnosed patients face in communicating with their family members.
This chatbot acts as a virtual companion to such people and can converse with them on topics like weather, movies, news, music etc. It has the ability to keep track of the dialogue history to maintain coherence in the communication. It can also identify any deviation in the conversations. Its cloud-based nature enables it to inform the patient’s doctor and family members about this deviation.
H&M Bot
One of the most popular uses of chatbots is in the retail industry. H&M has launched a bot that helps customers pick their outfit by asking about their preferences and providing suggestions based on that. It can also display accessories from the H&M’s catalog to match an outfit that the customer has chosen. No doubt, such chatbots can easily pull in a lot of sales in this e-commerce-powered world.
DoNotPay
What surprised me the most during my research for this article is that I found a chatbot that actually enables people to appeal their parking tickets. What’s more amazing is that this was created by a 19-year-old student, Joshua Browder.
This bot comes with a sign-in feature. It asks questions to the user to learn the details of his/her parking ticket case and analyzes if the user is eligible for an appeal. If s/he is, it will generate a legally-sound appeal letter that can be brought to the court. DoNotPay has contested 160,000 parking tickets successfully in New York and London – that too, for free. True to its purpose, it has been named as the worlds first robot lawyer.
Later, this chatbot’s functionality has been extended towards airline delays as well.
Now, the question that pops up on our minds is, will chatbots replace human conversations? Considering how fast things are moving, it could. And this would help businesses immensely by automating mundane tasks and saving time to focus on other core areas.
There is no doubt about the fact that chatbot is the next disruptive trend that will stick for years to come. Now the question is, how would you leverage it to help your business? |
Peasant Rebellion 03 – Do You Still Need Blue To Win?
December.
I’m pretty sure I speak for the majority of Commander players when I say that Blue is the most powerful color in the format. I know a lot of folks like CommanderCast’s own Matt who believe that Black and Green are vying to stay in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, and struggle to remember that Magic even has a fifth color. As a Green mage at heart, I hate to say it, but the reality is that if your general doesn’t have Blue in it’s color identity, it’s probably going to be an uphill battle against one who does (and this is coming from the former owner of a completely broken Ghave, Guru of Spores deck that can at least hold its own against big bad blue).
So, what to do if you’re like me and want to play non-blue generals? Yes, a less nonsensical ban list (and yes, it does deserve a double-negative) would no doubt help, but let’s face it, blue is broken, and it isn’t likely to change anytime soon. Blue’s inherent advantage is definitely one of the motivators for my vacation to Pauperville. I was thinking, “maybe a format without Consecrated Sphinx will be more fair!”
Well, there’s no Consecrated Sphinx, but there is Rhystic Study. And Mulldrifter. And Capsize. Believe me, the list goes on. No other color can match the sheer number of Commander playables at common (think Trinket Mage, Foresee, and Deep Analysis). And yes, if something is good in Commander, odds are that it is a Pauper staple. Even on our vacation to Pauperville and Peasantown, Blue is king.
So, are non-Blue generals screwed in Pauper formats just like in standard Commander? (Waiting for lightning bolt to strike….and we’re good) I had a foot in that camp after my Karador, Ghost Chieftain G/B/W deck took repeated bashings from our group’s standard bearer, the Damia, Sage of Stone G/B/U Good Stuff we discussed here featuring the aforementioned nastiness along with stalwart mechanics Buyback and Transmute. Buyback is particularly brutal against non-Blue decks that are unable to answer with counter magic and forced to rely on things like instant sacrifice triggers or spot removing their own creatures to answer a Capsize. How about uncounterable tutors to fetch your Capsize? Perplex and Drift of Phantasms, thank you very much. Then it’s, “Capsize and buyback?”, which is almost as annoying as its Rhystic Study counterpart, “did you pay for that?” And then they do it again. Was my vacation to Pauperville to be ruined by the very evil I thought I was escaping?
After considerations of throwing up the white flag and working with my Esper deck instead, I remembered something I had forgotten after playing so much Commander these past couple of years. See, when I used to play more Magic that relied on skill rather than on who has Sol Ring in hand, like post-Skullclamp and pre-Jace, the Mind Sculptor Standard, rogue decks could win. They didn’t always, but they could. Why? Because the options were diverse enough, but at the same time limited enough, that serious deckbuilding effort sometimes resulted in wins against the “best” decks.
The concept is this: synergy trumps power. Through incremental card advantage generated by certain cards’ particular interactions with other certain cards (think archetypes like tribal, tokens), a wide variety of decks should be able to compete as long as enough deck building skill and resources are invested.
So, is that the case in Pauper? Can synergy trump power? Or are we headed toward a big bad blue world even here on our vacation?
After a bit of searching, both on the web and in the old noggin, I remembered that Graft and Persist are pretty good together in light of rule where +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters cancel each other out. Those abilities, rules text side by side, should be enough to see some potential:
Graft X (This creature comes into play with X +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever another creature comes into play, you may move a +1/+1 counter from this creature onto it.)
Persist (When this creature is put into a graveyard from play, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to play under its owner’s control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)
In other words, if a Persist creature with no -1/-1 counters and a Graft creature are on the battlefield together, and the Persist creature goes to the graveyard via removal, sac or combat, the persist guy comes back at full strength while the graft guy only loses a counter. The Persist/Graft interaction is particularly exciting in a format where pure card draw is scarce, and repeated card advantage from a single card is even more important than in standard Commander (where this is a more regular occurrence, *cough* Consecrated Sphinx *cough*).
A quick search yielded four Persist creatures at common in these colors: Safehold Elite, Rendclaw Trow, Aerie Ouphes and Kithkin Spellduster. Because I was initially trying to use Gift of the Deity as a quasi-Wrath effect and since Shield of the Oversoul is amazing, the Elite and the Trow were at least somewhat palatable (the Trow more than the Elite). But the Ouphes and the Spellduster would allow for repeated sacrificing without relying on token creatures, if I just happened to want to do that for some reason (read: c-c-c-c-combo).
It should be mentioned that the quick search for Persist really was quick because I played a TON of limited during Shadowmoor/Eventide, and I owned and was familiar with all the relevant Persist creatures all the way up to Woodfall Primus. But I hardly played during the last half of Ravnica, so I couldn’t even name one Graft creature and only had a vague idea about Graft’s specifics. So when it turned out that common Graft creatures grant two of the most important creature abilities in the format, namely trample and regeneration, I was pleasantly surprised. I bring to you:
Sporeback Troll
Cytospawn Shambler
Add those to the reach-enabling Aquastrand Spider, and we have three playable graft creatures in color.
So at this point, we could get the Kithkin Spellduster on the field with a Graft guy and control the board’s enchantments for {W}1 until the Graft counters run out, or control the sky with Aerie Ouphes under the same conditions. Any Persist guy makes for an intimidating blocker. Plus, Karador obviously would allow us to replay our guys to replenish the counters and reset Persist.
The most obvious conclusion to draw is that the Persist creatures have become extraordinarily, well, persistent. Beyond combat, we can take advantage of this resilience with a sac outlet or two. This is where Fanatical Devotion comes in. In a format where most mass removal is based on damage, and there is lots of targeted removal, regeneration is good. This card gives it to your whole army. And although Ashnod’s Altar (printed at common in Chronicles) has become as prevalent as Lightning Greaves in my standard Commander builds, it makes an appearance here based on synergies alone; saccing automatically recurring creatures for 2 mana a pop seems good. All you Johnnys out there can see where this card really takes us, but we’ll get there in a minute.
Finally, if things are going to the graveyard, it would be nice to have something benefit us for doing so. Although picking are slim, there surely is Sadistic Glee, another card from Tempest that along with Capsize, should have been a rarity or two higher. Combine that with the in-color and usually awesome Totem-Guide Hartebeest and Auramancer, and we have ways to find and recur this key piece.
OK, time for some fun, specific interactions. Keep in mind that even though the majority of the deck’s wins are due to creature beats on the back of the aforementioned persistence, the following are a possibility every time you shuffle up:
Graft creature on battlefield (i.e., Cytospawn Shambler)
Enchant graft creature with Sadistic Glee
Play Aerie Ouphes
Activate Ouphes for infinite sac triggers and infinite (and instant) damage to fliers.
Throw in a Soul Warden or something like it and you have infinite life. Or how about:
Golgari Rot Wurm on the battlefield
Graft creature on the battlefield
Persist creature on the battlefield
Golgari Rot Wurm becomes pretty dangerous when he can damage opponents equal to the number of available black mana you have every turn.
The last truly funny thing about this concept involves Fertilid and Festercreep, both of which are good enough on their own to merit consideration in this format. But with Graft or maybe a Spike Colony, those two can pull off their effects a few more times than your opponents are interested in seeing. Or how about this: put Sadistic Glee on the Festercreep, sac some stuff, and the Creep controls the board until he’s offed.
Once these synergies went into effect, blue didn’t seem so scary anymore. Turns out creative card advantage can go toe-to-toe with blue card draw when you don’t have to worry about Consecrated Sphinx.
But what if we wanted to add five uncommons for Peasant? Seems the best use of those slots might be to expand into themes already in place in the Pauper deck. Sadistic Glee was the only card of its ilk at common, but at uncommon we get the new Lumberknot, an improvement on past creatures with their own built-in Sadistic Glee. Given that shroud and hexproof are really hot in Pauper, where mass removal is weak, this guy has sweet potential in a deck where infinite sacrificing is a relevant goal.
Another thing we’re lacking at common is free sacrifice outlets, although Fanatical Devotion and the Altar are certainly more than serviceable. How about one of my faves from a deck from my youth, Martyr’s Cause? In that deck, I sacrificed Sacred Mesa tokens to keep me safe; here, I sac recurring persist dudes. Oh the times, they are a changin’.
Two more cards specific to the deck would be Kitchen Finks and Simic Basilisk. It is nice to keep the same ratio of graft to persist creatures, and each of these are more than playable. Giving your team deathtouch in a format where Viridian Longbow is a major player seems relevant. And Finks is Finks, but is particularly good here for synergy.
Skullclamp. Hard not to play that one, no? I guess the only drawback is that you have to spend mana to use it, but Fecundity spreads the fun around a little too much for this deck’s liking.
I know this makes a sixth card, but these are just suggestions anyway, and how could we build a black deck in a format with painfully few WoG effects and not mention Ichor Explosion? Generally terrible everywhere else, it has simply been awesome every time I’ve seen it played in this format.
Bonus courtesy of my man WriterofWrong: Juniper Order Ranger. Even better than Graft combined with Persist, as the Ranger keeps getting bigger while the Persist guys keep coming back at full strength. I used to run this in my Ghave deck, and I still forgot about him. But he’s getting a slot ASAP. Probably over the Simic Basilisk.
So Pauper or Peasant, these concepts form the basis for competitive, non-blue decks. As for finding people to test against, it’s funny, but it seems it’s not too hard to convince people around here to play a game that’s still Magic, won’t involve spending much cash, and will involve a vacation from Consecrated Sphinx.
I’ll see you next time for a discussion on the value of generals who create their own card advantage and some specific suggestions as to who you might recruit to lead you Pauper army. |

General George S Patton, Spring 1944
The first thing we want to make sure we do is find a way to gain entry into the postseason and the best way to do that is winning the American League Central and we feel we are positioned to do that. The other thing we’ve demonstrated over time...is we’ll look at opportunities to fine-tune & adjust our roster as the season moves on & I’d expect that to be the case this year if we’re again in the position of being a contender around the Trade Deadline or later in the season.
Chris Antonetti, January 25th 2019
Look:
I know it’s not fair to compare the President of a baseball team with a Prime Minister or general during war time. Yes, sports arouse in us a mild flavor of ferocity and tribalism, but no one is going to die if the Cleveland Indians fail to make the postseason or lose the World Series. At least, I don’t think anyone will.
I know that the front office of the team is still looking at ways to improve the roster before the regular season begins. None of us really want to trade Corey Kluber, and we would revolt if the return for a deal wasn’t delightful. They just re-signed Oliver Perez today, and there have been a few small deals that may pay off. However, this off-season is a far cry from flipping prospects for the game’s best reliever and doling out for a power bat after nearly winning the World Series.
I know that baseball is a notoriously difficult beast to tame. Players get injured, suddenly lose all of their abilities, or suddenly find them after going to another team. You can’t predict the motions of this wild game, let alone slip a collar around its neck. Antonetti and the rest of the front office is doing the best it can with the resources available. I won’t belabor the point, but those resources aren’t as plentiful as some other teams in the league.
I know that the organization doesn’t want to mortgage the entire future in the present. There’s nothing fun about rebuilding a baseball team from scratch unless you’re a divisional rival (Everybody wave at the Royals! What are they doing? Aren’t they cute?!). It takes years. It depresses attendance and fan loyalty. I’ve also heard that players don’t like losing 90-ish games for a few seasons. It’s understandable that they want to balance the desire to bring helpful free agents in against the hope that prospects develop well and contribute now and down the road.
That being said, there’s one bit of this here quote that I can’t let go.
[I]f we’re again in the position of being a contender around the Trade Deadline or later in the season
I’m sorry. If?
The Indians arguably own the best starting rotation in all of baseball. The left side of the infield is the greatest anyone’s seen in a generation, and possibly ever. I understand everything I wrote above, but how can you look at the talent on the roster right now and be content with the possibility of maybe being in contention?
I’m sure that he’s not content. I bet on some level he’s livid about giving remarks like this. Antonetti may never have a team with this opportunity again, and if he could have re-signed Josh Donaldson, or sign Bryce Harper; or hell, even AJ Pollock, I think he would have.
It’s one thing to acknowledge that the team can still be improved upon from its current state. It is another entirely to admit that the best strategy we can come up with is to coast across the surface of the weakest division in the league toward the playoffs. We’ll hope for some wind at our backs and that fortune favors us upon our arrival, but yeah, sure, this crew is probably good enough to make the voyage. Aye aye, captain.
I’m not looking for the man to top “once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more / Or close the wall up with our English dead.” Still, as Indians fans, I think we’ve got every right to be pretty pissed off at the idea of the team holding its position — this position — while the rest of the league goes over, under, and through us. |
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/69734976/usa_today_16574711.0.jpg)
Normally a back-and-forth game is fun. But a back-and-forth game between two bad teams? Not so much. And make no mistake, the Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins are both bad. That much is clear after watching nearly four hours of these two teams in a tightly contested struggle that ended with the Twins prevailing, 5-4, in the tenth inning.
After the Guardians squandered their own scoring opportunity in the top of the tenth, the Twins went to work making the most of theirs. With Ryan Jeffers standing on second base to start the inning, Nick Wittgren gave up a single to Nick Gordon and intentionally walked Max Kepler to load the bases before Rob Refsnyder grounded into a 5-2 double play. With two outs, Jorge Polanco lined an RBI double into right field to give the Twins the walk-off win.
Cal Quantrill, who took the mound Monday night boasting a 0.95 ERA in the month of August, wasn’t quite his dominant self. His command came and went throughout the game, especially with his four-seam fastball, which was made clear after he left a 3-1 fastball over the heart of the plate to Max Kepler to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Kepler feasted on it, taking him deep to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead. To his credit, Quantrill grinded out five innings of work, relying heavily on his slider. His final line was far from terrible: 5 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K.
Quantrill didn’t have his best command, but I would argue that the Guardians’ middle infielders had worse command of their mental faculties. In the third inning, the Twins were able to tie the score at 2-2 on a two-out Josh Donaldson RBI single because Amed Rosario wasn’t paying attention as Jorge Polanco was rounding third base, having sprinted from first. Rosario had to rush the throw and the one-hopper to Austin Hedges allowed Polanco to sneak past him for the score.
In the fourth inning, with runners on first and second and no one out, Andrelton Simmons grounded a double play ball to Rosario, but the Guardians’ shortstop could only get the out at second. The go-ahead run scored from third on the next play with another groundball to Rosario, but neither he nor Andres Gimenez was near second base. Gimenez had to sprint there and barehand the toss from Rosario to at least get the out at second.
But as I said at the beginning, it was a back-and-forth affair and the Guardians kept up their end of the bargain. Bradley Zimmer’s two-run bomb in the second inning erased the Twins’ early lead and gave the Guardians a 2-1 advantage. With one out in the fifth inning, Cleveland trailed 3-2 when Amed Rosario
tripled doubled and advanced to third on an error by Jake Cave in center field (according to the official scorer), scoring on a Jose Ramirez RBI single to even the score.
Austin Hedges came through in the clutch in the sixth inning, dropping a two-out RBI double near the foul line in left field to score Owen Miller and push the Guardians ahead, 4-3. Andres Gimenez tried to make it 5-3 but was thrown at out home trying to score from first. Unfortunately, Justin Garza surrendered a solo home run to Ryan Jeffers in the bottom of the sixth to even it up. |

On Wednesday, December 15, 2021, Bobby Neider, age 54, of Austintown, OH, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, after a 2 ½ week battle with Covid. He was born on August 1, 1967 to Robert and Shirley (Gentile) Neider in Youngstown, OH. Bobby was the eldest of 5 children.
Bobby leaves behind his very beloved and adored wife of 9 years, Carla Elliott-Neider; step-son, Ean Elliott; mom, Shirley Neider of Poland, OH; siblings, Heather (Ed) Hall of Fallston, MD, Bill (Amber) Neider of Struthers, Matt (Annissa) Neider of Austintown, Jonathan Neider (Amanda) of Struthers; nieces, Quinn Hall, Chloe Neider, Mya Neider and nephews, Ty Hall and Micah Neider. Bobby was preceded in death by his dad, Robert Neider, Sr.
Bobby was a very kind and hardworking man who lived to fix things, help those in need and give unselfishly to others. Regardless of how many hours he had worked that day, if anyone called with a problem, he was there. His strong work ethic, patience to teach, and willingness to share his skills and knowledge were just a few of his many wonderful qualities. Bobby truly loved and spoiled his animals and have a treat for others' dogs. A 1985 graduate of Struthers High School, he went on to work as maintenance tech with Simco since 2009, several years at the Boulevard Club in Boardman and the last four years at Greenbriar in Austintown. He and his wife also had their own business, Handyman with Handywife, working for residential customers and many condo associations.
Bobby requested no flowers, instead please donate to an animal rescue shelter, such as Angels for Animals or the Trumbull County Animal Welfare League.
With the knowledge that Bobby's passing was a result of Covid-19 Pneumonia and concern for those in attendance who may be at risk, it is respectfully suggested that visitors wear a face covering.
Viewing and Visitation will be held on Monday, December 20, 2021, from 4:00pm until the time of Prayer Service at 6:00pm at Cremation & Funeral Service by Gary Silvat Inc, 3896 Oakwood Ave., Austintown, OH 44515.

Finding your footing: 8 great hikes within 30 minutes
[slideshow_deploy id=’8730′]
Note: The earlier you get to any of these trails the better, especially on weekends. Trails are not written in any particular order. Parking scales are based on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being easy parking and one being hard parking.
Since March, the places and things that you could do have been limited. Gone are the days of parties and shopping malls. Despite all of this, it is still important to take care of yourself mentally and physically. Even though you might not be able to go to the gym anymore or swimming pool, hiking trails and parks are still open. Within the Washington, D.C metro area, there are tons of different hiking trails that you can visit. From short, flat walks to challenging steep hikes, there is something for everyone.
Scott’s Run Nature Preserve
McLean, VA
Distance from W-L: 21 Minutes/8.2 miles
Parking 3/10
Scott’s Run is an enjoyable trail that takes you through a forest, past a creek, and to the Potomac River. With a combination of different terrain and scenery, you really get to see it all. Depending on what path you take, you can walk alongside the Potomac for an easy flat walk. For a more challenging hike, you can venture up some of the steep hills in the forest. To get to the Potomac area of the park, you must cross a creek using stepping stones, proving a unique element to the park. However, if you wish to go on the weekend to the park, I highly recommend you try to get there before 8 a.m. There is very limited parking, and it fills up very quickly. The park does allow dogs, but if your dog cannot cross a stream, has trouble with uneven terrain and [depending on what route you take] cannot go up steep hills, I do not recommend bringing them. Scott’s Run has a variety of trail difficulties and paths to explore, so you will never get bored.
Great Falls Park
McLean, VA
Distance from W-L: 27 minutes/12.2 miles
Parking 8.5/10
Great Falls Park is a national park that is located on the Potomac River, where you get a stunning view of the river’s rapids. There are several trails within the park that run alongside the Potomac, and there are a few overlook points where you can view the falls. The park has restrooms (which are now closed due to COVID-19) and picnic tables. Depending on which trail you take, you can go on a slightly flatter or rockier trail. They have several parking lots, so you should be able to go anytime during the day, but if you don’t want to park super far away, get there early to be safe. Parking does cost $20 for a car. If you want stunning scenery and a relatively easy traill, this is the place for you.
Huntley Meadows Park
Alexandria, VA
Distance from W-L: 32 minutes/15 miles
Parking 10/10
Located in Alexandria, Huntley Meadows Park takes you on a boardwalk through the wetlands and looping back around through a surrounding forest, the area is blooming with life. Several different species of turtles, frogs and birds can be seen in the wetlands and surrounding areas. The trail is flat with no hills, making it perfect if you want a relaxing, peaceful hike. The parking lot is never full, even on holiday weekends, making parking a breeze. However, dogs are not allowed on the boardwalk. If you do want to bring your dog, you must stay on the forest trail. In the summer, it can get very bright and hot while on the boardwalk, so I recommend you bring sunglasses or a hat. This walk is great if you want an easy, peaceful and animal-filled walk.
Burke Lake Park
Fairfax, VA
Distance from W-L: 33 minutes/24.7 miles
Parking 7/10
Burke Lake Park is located out in Fairfax around Burke Lake. With stunning views of the lake, camping opportunities and kayaking, this park has something for everyone. The trail is relatively flat and loops around the lake. Dogs are allowed, and there is a relatively big parking lot. This park is very popular, so there are lots of people around and parking fills up quickly. There is also an ice cream parlor and mini golf inside the park. This trail is perfect if you want an easy walk with beautiful scenery.
Turkey Run Park
McLean, VA
Distance from W-L: 13 minutes/6.3 miles
Parking 8.5/10
Turkey Run Park is located off the Potomac River and George Washington (GW) Parkway. This park has multiple parking lots and is very accessible. Use the exits on the GW Parkway, because your GPS may take you to the wrong spot. The park is covered by trees in a dense forest, and has several hills to walk up and down. With the ability to cross streams and see a miniature waterfall, the hike is very scenic. You can bring dogs, but proceed with caution as the terrain is not even. This trail is great if you want something a bit challenging.
Theodore Roosevelt Island
Washington, DC.
Distance from W-L: 12 min/5.5 miles
Parking 3/10
Roosevelt Island is located off of George Washington Parkway, and is an island on the Potomac River. The longest trail takes you around the island, through the forest and onto a boardwalk through a marsh. This is a very popular place (for good reason), but it can get crowded and their parking lot can fill up fast. This flat trail will take you through a variety of landscapes. The park is dog friendly, including on the boardwalk. This trail is great if you want an easy trail that takes you past some historical monuments on the island.
Riverbend Park
Great Falls, VA
Distance from W-L: 29 minutes/16.3 miles

Steps to make Dabs (Low-Cost and simple) Do At Home!

From the method that is tried-and-tested of to topical remedies and edible treats, boundaries have now been pressed and experiments undertaken. With that in mind, let’s take a look at a trendy and new way of consuming cannabis: dabbing.
What exactly is Dabbing?
Dabbing could be the training of utilizing a little dab of potent and concentrated resin this is certainly obtained from cannabis. It’s frequently vaporized or smoked, and it’s also ingested.
The results are generally more powerful and are more durable when compared to other designs of cannabis utilize. Numerous dabs are manufactured with a high concentrations of THC, making them more appealing to recreational marijuana users. Whensmoked, less is inhaled, while still producing a intense and prolonged high.
You may have previously run into dabbing without realizing it, since it’s described by a variety of names, including: wax oil, hash oil, honey oil, shatter, and just wax. In this guide, we’ll get rid of the distinctions and explain making and make use of your dabs that are own.
Popular Forms Of Dabs
Even as we mentioned previously, there are a true quantity of various names attached to the practice of dabbing, with a selection of dabs offered to buy or make in the home. Each kind has its own set that is unique of, benefits, and drawbacks.
Right right Here a look is taken by us at 8 of the most extremely popular:
1. Shatter
Talking about amount of glass-like concentrates, it is easy to understand exactly exactly how shatter got its title. Although various types of shatter are breakable, some are gluey to touch, although some may be smooth. Shatter is quite popular cbd oilglobal Thanks to its reputation for quality and purity.
To keep shatter, carefully put it in parchment paper.
2. Crumble
With all the consistency that is driest of all of the specializes in this list, crumble truly matches its name. (have you been sensing a layout?) And this consistency Makes it a little easier to both use and handle in comparison with other dabs.
Whenever storing crumble, choose a cup or silicone container by having a lid.
3. Budder
Considering that it boasts a consistency much like compared to peanut butter, budder is remarkably user friendly as well as a pun that is terrific. It’s created by whipping resin or heating shatter into a smooth substance.
Budder may be kept in a sealed container or covered with parchment.
4. Wax
Unsurprisingly, wax dabs are gluey and may simply be managed with on a clean dab tool. In the event that you don’t heed this caution and attempt to utilize the wax along with your hands, you’ll be having a mess that is sticky. Although shatter is usually thought to be the purest dab around, the sappier wax can include high degrees of THC or CBD.
Much like budder, you are able to keep wax in both a sealed container or parchment.
5. Oil
With numerous different ways of extraction, some concentrates can be obtained as natural oils, in place of a form that is solid. These oils are generally obtainable in a syringe for simple and easy application that is practical in addition they generally taste differently as a result of the method the oil was removed.
Oil dabs should really be kept in a syringe or perhaps a sealed silicone container.
6. Resin
Resin is actually the trichomes that are sticky1) on the flowers and leaves of mature female cannabis plants. Also referred to as ‘sap’, resin is created by drying out and curing the trichomes. It’s a obviously created substance, utilized as a way of protection from predators that might eat the plant before it reproduces.
Resin may be kept in parchment or even a sealed container.
7. resin that is live
Needing a laboratory and trained specialists, real time resin isn’t something you are able to create in kitchen area. a fairly brand new kind of focus, it involves an extended and process that is complicated of freezing freshly harvested cannabis flowers. Real time resin is recommended by those looking for the possible medicinal great things about marijuana. But, due to the technical manufacturing process, it is typically more costly as compared to other people with this list.
8. Rosin
Created by drying and cannabis that are curing, before making use of stress and temperature to discharge resin full of THC, rosin is a secure and easy-to-produce focus. Unlike real time resin, you possibly can make rosin in kitchen area, because it does not require solvents and it is cheap to create.
Comparison of Shatter, Wax, and Rosin
Regarding the concentrates in the list above, shatter, wax, and rosin are undoubtedly the most well known among dabbers. The primary differences when considering shatter and wax are:
Wax will generally degrade at an even faster rate than shatter.
Wax is commonly livlier than shatter.
Shatter is generally purer than wax, however it’s harder to create.
Shatter is extremely difficult and brittle to accurately determine.

It’s a guilty pleasure, but who of us hasn’t dropped into a McDonald’s drive-thru on the way home from work?
You can load up on burgers, fries and milkshake without stepping out of your car, the ultimate in lazy living.
Us Brits want even more though with a survey by Euro Car Parts finding that nearly a quarter of us would like a drive-thru parcel collection point, while 17% feel the need for a fast-pharmacy. Just over one in ten fancy an ice-cream parlour with window service, slightly ahead of those that fancy the dangerous sounding drive-thru off-licence.
Happily, it’s more than just food and drink that you can get from behind the wheel though, with guns, weddings and even spiritual intervention all available at motor friendly outlets…
Something Fishy: Fish and chips is the classic British dish, and now residents of Wakefield can get this traditional Friday night treat on double-quick time at The Empire – without even having to leave the car.
Shot Glasses: Guns and drinking – not the most common pastimes of driving. However, in Schulenburg, Texas, you can get exactly that at the creatively named Double Shot Liquor & Guns Drive Thru.
Highway to Heaven: Residents of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, can now find solace and prayer on the drive home from work at the Christian Life Center Divine Drive-Thru. Every Friday, the church’s prayer team join motorists behind the wheel in prayer, taking convenience to a ‘higher’ level.
Get Shucked: Oysters are the aphrodisiac ‘fuel for love’. At least that’s what Get Shucked oyster farm says, where the Bruny Island, Australia, firm started selling oysters through their drive-thru window.
Daiquiri Driving: Despite drink-driving definitely not being a legal option, the rather loose laws in New Orleans mean that the Daiquiri Bay Cafe in Metairie, Louisiana, is ready to serve commuters a strawberry daiquiri after a long hard day at the office. Just make sure you have a cup with a lid, and no straw.
Wedding Bells: This Las Vegas chapel has been the number one pit stop to get hitched quickly since Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow married in 1966. A Little White Wedding Chapel is most well know for it’s ‘Tunnel of Love Drive-Thru’ costing just $50, and they even offer an on-site Elvis Presley impersonator.

Are You Responsible For Property Damages To A Neighbor’s Home?
Residential property damages in Daytona Beach should be reported to your insurance company immediately. Your homeowner’s coverage will generally cover the costs of repairs, but what happens when incidents involving your property end up impacting neighbors? Find out more about your liability in this type of situation.
Personal Liability Coverage In Your Homeowner’s Insurance Coverage
The Florida Department of Financial Services offers a homeowner’s insurance toolkit that provides extensive information regarding the common types of coverage available from insurance companies in our state and what your policy is likely to cover. In addition to protecting you against personal losses, it also helps you avoid being held liable for damages suffered by others. Personal liability is typically included as a provision and can prevent you from facing a claim or civil lawsuit in the following types of situations:
- When invited guests to your property are involved in accidents, such as slips and falls;
- When delivery people, mail carriers, and other visitors suffer personal injuries due to potentially hazardous conditions on your property, such as low hanging tree branches or uneven walkways;
- When someone’s car or other personal property is damaged while visiting at your home;
- When a neighbor suffers damage to their home or land as a result of your negligence.
Negligence is a legal team that means taking actions that put others at risk or failing to take the appropriate precautions to prevent them. For example, failing to warn a neighbor about moving their car prior to cutting down a tree that is close by could be considered an example of negligence, as could failing to properly trim branches or remove diseased limbs.
Having an otherwise healthy and maintained tree land on your neighbor’s property due to a lightning strike or heavy winds is generally not an example of negligence but rather an ‘act of God’. This means you would not be liable for their damages and instead, they should seek compensation for the cost of repairs through their own insurance policy.
Reducing Personal Liability Risks
Taking preventative measures to help ensure conditions on your property do not cause damage to others is part of being a good neighbor. It is also part of your legal duty as a property owner under the Florida Statutes and reduces your risks of being held liable either through an insurance company claim or a civil lawsuit. This includes:
- Regularly trimming low-hanging branches and removing dead or diseased trees;
- Replacing worn shingles and other loose objects, which could become projectiles;
- Draining ponds prior to storms and taking other steps to prevent flooding;
- Maintaining walkways and landscaping to prevent accidental injuries.

My aunt loves telling the story of me one Easter, after having overindulged in too many Red Tulip Easter Eggs… telling her I was “Tick in de tink.”
Obviously I was very young and without the ability to enunciate ‘s’ or ‘th’. Not to mention guilelessly nonchalant about admitting to spewing after too much chocolate.
I’ve oft-admitted here to having no ‘moderation’ button. It’s all-or-nothing in my world, and while I’m slowly trying to change that I’ve accepted that my best bet is to try to manage it.
I’m doing Weight Watchers at the moment – though decades of bingeing/dieting behaviour (yes… again all/nothing) means I’m aware that ‘diets’ don’t work. Doing WW for me means being aware of what I’m eating and tracking it, but still being able to eat almost anything.
However… I’ve kept a few trigger foods off-limits. Corn chips or hot chips haven’t been on my shopping list (but I’ve eaten them out) and chocolate has been completely off the agenda for about three months.
Because – however – I’m working hard to avoid the notion of deprivation, I planned for some Easter indulgences.
And I did – I will confess – overdo it a bit.
My gorgeous mother ensured my Red Tulip chocolate fetish was sated.
And… as planned I made the most decadent rocky road I could imagine.
And now… After finishing off the rocky road for brekkie… I am again chocolate-less. And that’s ok.
My biggest fear was that this sudden indulgence would give me an increased hankering for junk (and binge/trigger) foods; but… I’m actually feeling okay about the resumption of ‘normal programming’. The chocky was yummy, but I also felt quite crappy afterwards. And a tad ‘tick‘.
In an ideal world I would add a small amount of chocolate into my regular diet. And I know a more moderate person would eke the goodies out for days (as my brother did when we were young) but… let’s face it. I may never be capable of that. And, do you know what? That’s ok. I just need plan for it and work around it.
Best of all I don’t actually feel guilty. The idea of a ‘fast’ or detox entered my head briefly but… thankfully I dismissed it just as quickly. I’ve already planned my menu for today and coming days and feel fine about continuing as I have done over the past three months of Weight Watchers.
Did you indulge this Easter?
Do you ‘eke’ out your treats?
Disclaimer: I have been given a free six month online membership to Weight Watchers but my thoughts, opinions and words here are my own. Please check out the program for yourself before making any decisions.

Yes, I got a couple of surprises as well. But… oh well… 😉 |
Aboyne Highland Games receives National Lottery funding
Aboyne Highland Games has received a National Lottery award from The National Lottery Community Fund to help improve the safety and security of its future events.
Organisers of the popular Aberdeenshire event were awarded £10,000 in grant funding towards the cost of purchasing new Heras security fencing. The new temporary fencing is a major investment for Aboyne Highland Games and will bolster security at the annual August event, while also being more stable, and safer to erect and dismantle.
Over 800m of Heras fencing is being purchased thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund grant. That is the distance around the perimeter of Aboyne Green, the venue for Aboyne Highland Games. The new metal fence panels will replace rolls of wooden chestnut pale fencing that have historically been erected to secure the green for games day.
Scotland’s winter economy is set to benefit from the old chestnut fencing being reused. Aboyne Highland Games has donated it to the Lecht Ski Centre for use on its slopes, where it will be installed to help form ski runs.
It will be August, 2022, before the new metal fencing takes pride of place at Aboyne Highland Games. Earlier this year it was confirmed that the 2021 Aboyne Highland Games had been cancelled due to continued uncertainties resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. Plans are currently being finalised to mark the event online on what would have been games day on Saturday, August 7. This will include online piping and fiddle competitions.
Traditionally held on the first Saturday in August, Aboyne Highland Games injects an estimated £450,000 into the Deeside economy each year. With a packed programme of 95 traditional events, including solo and massed piping, Highland Dancing, light and heavy athletics, tug o’ war and fiddle competitions, it annually attracts a crowd of around 10,000 visitors from across the United Kingdom and around the world.
Alistair Grant, chairman of Aboyne Highland Games, said: “The committee is very pleased to have secured this funding. It is an investment for the long-term future of Aboyne Highland Games, and I look forward to seeing the fence erected for the first time next August and it gleaming in the sunshine, heralding the return of the games.
“It was needed to improve the safety and security of the event and will certainly give the games a different look from the roadside. Many locals will have fond memories of seeing the old wooden chestnut fencing going up, knowing it signalled the countdown to games day and also the arrival of the funfair.
“It is great that the old fencing is gaining a new lease of life, being repurposed on the ski slopes. Donating it to the Lecht Ski Centre illustrates the ways that local businesses and organisations such as Aboyne Highland Games can assist one another to bolster the economy.”
The National Lottery Community Fund, Scotland Chair, Kate Still, said: “In these unprecedented times, it’s heartening to see the way Scottish communities are coming together to provide each other with support.”

EIB supports IE University with a financing plan of up to €30 million to boost educational digitalisation, infrastructure and sustainability
-
- -This project is supported by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the main pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has approved a financing plan of up to €30 million for IE University, an educational institution recognised across Europe with students of 140 nationalities on its Madrid and Segovia campuses. The EIB financing, supported by a guarantee from the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the main pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe, amounts to €15 million in an initial tranche, which could be extended by another tranche for the same amount in 2022.
Educational digitalisation and innovation
Investments financed by the EIB include upgrading state-of-the-art equipment to boost the digitalisation of the institution. IE University will expand the liquid learning methodology that enables students to attend class in-person or online with the same immersive and academic experience. The EIB financing, subscribed with Instituto de Empresa, an educational group to which IE University belongs, will facilitate the design of academic materials, data management and analysis, and the use of new technological tools applied to education.
Infrastructure
Under this agreement, IE University will promote the renovation of facilities on its María de Molina campus in the financial district of Madrid. It will also cover the fitting-out of IE Tower, the institution's new headquarters and one of the few high-rise university campuses in the world, located in the north of Madrid and set to open in September. The investment plan will also target restoration works at the Convent of Santa Cruz de la Real in Segovia, a 15th-century building that houses the historic campus of IE University, as well as the renovation of the Palacio de Mansilla, also in Segovia, which will be transformed into a university residence.
Energy efficiency and social cohesion
The EIB funds will also accelerate the implementation of IE University's strategic plan for sustainability. The institution will improve energy efficiency in its facilities and promote the use of alternative energies and the modernisation of air conditioning and ventilation systems on its Madrid and Segovia campuses.
The financial plan will also contribute to meeting the European Union's objectives of convergence and social cohesion, helping to reduce regional differences, in this case through investment support in Segovia. In addition, the operation is expected to have a major impact on employment, contributing to the creation of new jobs.
Valdis Dombrovskis, Executive Vice President of the European Commission for An Economy that Works for People, said: “With EIB financing supported by the Investment Plan for Europe, IE University will improve its digital learning projects, energy efficiency and campus infrastructure. This agreement will contribute to the green and digital transition of the education sector. It is certainly good news for students, teachers and the environment.”
EIB Vice-President Ricardo Mourinho Félix, who is responsible for the EU bank's operations in Spain, said: “This operation highlights EIB financing for education and how it can be used to achieve key EU objectives in this sector, including innovation, modernisation and the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings. We are very proud to support the investment project of IE University, a leading institution in its field, providing better academic resources for both students and teachers.”
“IE University's investment projects for the coming years are long-term initiatives that we can strengthen thanks to this agreement with the EIB, which has facilitated the process with its management team. It has demonstrated great flexibility and understanding about our institution and the uniqueness of the education sector,” said IE University Chief Financial Officer Jaime Úrculo.
Additional. The projects and agreements approved for financing under EFSI have so far mobilised €546.5 billion in investment, a quarter of which is going to research, development and innovation projects.
IE University aims to drive positive change through education, research and innovation. It offers a technology-driven learning ecosystem for leaders who make a real difference in the world through innovation, global vision, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a unique focus on humanities. It has a faculty of more than 500 professors who teach students from 140 countries on its master's, PhD and executive education programmes. IE's alumni network comprises more than 60 000 graduates in some 165 countries. More information is available at. |
Remembering Ted Williams, the 'Splendid Splinter,' on the centennial of his birth
The self-proclaimed greatest hitter of all-time would turn 100 tomorrow.
Theodore Samuel Williams aka “The Splendid Splinter,” “The Kid,” “Teddy Ballgame.” Born in San Diego on Aug. 30, 1918, he blossomed in Boston for decades on his way to Cooperstown. He was a genuine original, a one-of-a kind, bigger-than-life hitting machine. Gruff, especially with the media, but passionately generous.
Things you might not know about Ted Williams:
*He was part Hispanic. His mother was Mexican.
*Prior to his senior year at Hoover High in San Diego, he went to a tryout camp for the Cardinals in Fullerton, California, but didn’t impress and was not signed. Imagine a St. Louis team with both Williams and Stan Musial!
*His first professional contract was with the San Diego Padres of the old Pacific Coast League. He signed for $150 a month.
*His first big league manager Joe Cronin, himself a Hall of Famer, called Williams “Meathead.”
*Of his many other nicknames, Williams preferred “Teddy Ballgame.”
*The player he replaced in Boston, Ben Chapman, was the racist manager in the Jackie Robinson movie “42.”
More:Taylor Ward describes wild first week in MLB: 3 hits, 2 plane rides, 1 rare triple play
More:Eric Hosmer, Yu Darvish just two baseball free agents that didn't pan out in 2018
*He averaged less than 50 strikeouts a season. For his career, he walked 2,021 times and struck out only 709 times.
*During Joe DiMaggio’s epic 56-game hitting streak in 1941, Williams hit .412 while DiMaggio hit .408.
*In the season-finale doubleheader in 1941 when Williams was about to hit .400, he went 6 for 8 to finish at .406.
*Williams won the MVP award twice, but should have won it more. In 1942, for instance, he hit .356 with 38 homers and 137 RBIs, but lost out to Yankee second baseman Joe Gordon who hit .322 with 18 homers and 103 RBIs. One writer didn’t put Williams in the Top 10. Even a 10th-place vote would have given him the MVP, but Ted had a volatile relationship with the media. He also finished twice to Joe DiMaggio and again was the runnerup at age 38 in 1957 when he hit .388.
*Williams missed four full seasons and part of another while serving as a pilot in World War II and Korea (where he was a fighter pilot). His average homers per year would have given him another 166 and he would have finished with 687 home runs rather than the 521 he had. His WWII absence was particularly damaging as he was at the height of his career, ages 24, 25 and 26.
*He was an All-Star every season he played in the majors except his rookie year – when he .327 and drove in 145 runs!
*He was lifelong friends with teammates Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr and especially Dominic DiMaggio, Joe’s kid brother, who Williams always called “Dommie.”
*He lobbied hard for African-Americans to be included in the Hall of Fame even going so far in his induction speech to single out Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson as two deserving blacks that should be enshrined. (They both were years later).
*He won the triple crown twice, the only player to do so, and finished with a .344 batting average, 8th best of all-time, but by far the best over the past 80 years.
*The best hitter ever? Probably.

A carpeted floor with ample space around all gear will go a way that is long soundproofing your room. If possible, try to incorporate a outside wall into your design for maximum quietness when working out at night or early in the morning before your partner wakes up.
A lot of of windows:
When possible, design your gym to have wall of windows that will allow sunlight to come streaming in throughout the day. Well-placed lights could be used aswell to help keep things brightly lit and well-lighted for those morning that is early late night workouts. Residence gyms are great for those which do not desire to spending some time commuting and would work out at rather home instead.

and/or life habits…sometimes successfully and long term. Other times the changes are short lived.
You’ve tried to start something like obtain more business or improve your health or your mood.
You’ve perhaps been engaged in marketing or business development.
You’ve invested in free and paid resources such as books, webinars, coaching etc….
You’ve had great results and you’ve had mediocre results.
You’ve been focused and you’ve been scattered.
You’ve been disciplined and on point; you’ve been inconsistent and wanted to give up.
You’ve tried so many strategies and perhaps you have quit almost as many as you’ve started.
Are Our Efforts Making a Difference?
Even in our role as service providers, therapists, coaches or consultants, we sometimes harbor doubts about whether or not someone will improve.
Whether or not someone will achieve their goals and whether or not we can help… we begin to doubt ourselves.
We begin to question “Do I know enough? Am I skilled enough to help?”
We don’t always trust the process.
We want things to sometimes be easier for people than they are.
The truth is, to having lasting results with any endeavor, we have to work at it everyday…
yes…everyday…
yes…everyday…
That means that when we are helping others a big part of our role is supporting them in their personal agency; helping people take ownership of their life, their challenges, their opportunities and their solutions.
It doesn’t mean that we leave them alone with what they came in for help with…but we recognize their role…we learn their story…we respect their truth…we honor their pain…we watch our own tendencies…we pick a method that aligns with our best therapeutic self and with the client’s needs and then we need to stay focused and trust the process.
They Know What They Need, Just Like You Know What You Need
Clients are very accurate about what they need help with, even if they appear resistant… resistance is part of growth…people need to make change their own.
It doesn’t matter to me if the change you are focused on is adding multiple streams of income or helping someone battle depression or anxiety. The keys to success involve FOCUS and CONSISTENCY.
We must trust the process. For example, everyone isn’t going to do therapeutic assignments (homework)…
Just like every business owner isn’t intended to blog or video cast or be a social media giant.
So don’t make the conditions of therapeutic change be about doing homework.
And don’t make the cornerstone of your business development something that you don’t like to do or won’t do…because let’s face it…if you did do it, it probably wouldn’t turn out well under those circumstances.
What is Focus?
Focus doesn’t mean that you are inflexible.
Focus means that you stay connected to the end goal, as it relates to therapy or coaching…you allow the process to unfold at its natural pace.
If you don’t allow a natural pace and you switch strategies frequently, you are virtually guaranteeing that the client can’t trust the process and thereby sabotage their ability to put themselves in your hands and trust you.
We are talking about the basic trust that comes with the confidence that “this person knows what they are doing.”
Change and growth are hard enough where trust exists…be trustworthy…be consistent enough…not perfect…but consistent enough to be a trusted and reliable asset.
Your lack of focus begins to mirror the mental or relational confusion that they (the client) themselves may be experiencing.
It is the same in business development, if your services are not consistent then your customer base has no opportunity to hear about your services, find you, go through the procurement process, and begin their experience.
If they can’t do all of that, then they cannot achieve the benefits and results from what you provide.
They also will not be able to recommend your services to others. This is the best and most reliable marketing…clients achieving results and telling others about you.
Can’t Someone Else Do It?
In my daily work as a supervisor of beginning therapists or as a consultant and coach to colleagues, the number one challenge I observe involves people putting forth a lot of effort with limited results.
Sometimes people want to “hire it out,” and “get someone else to do it.” Let someone else create my content. Let someone else develop my brand, etc…
As it relates to clients there is a sense of overwhelm so they may want to “refer out,” this person is “too difficult.”
The truth is that results come from consistent action and intention.
If your intention is to have a life that feels balanced, where you are available to yourself and your family/friends while also building a practice or a service, etc….then there is a common trap you must avoid.
If you can avoid this trap, then you are unlocking the door to a far less stressful existence. In addition, you will increase your effectiveness. Do you know what the trap is?
It’s saying “yes” because you are afraid that an opportunity won’t come around again.
It is also saying “yes” because you think “I’d be stupid to say no to this opportunity.”
Or saying “yes” because you are afraid you will get fired.
Or saying “yes” because you want others to like you or think a particular way about you.
Or saying “yes” because someone close to us thinks we should.
There are countless reasons why we are saying “yes” when we should be saying “no.”
It culminates in the same result…
Muted results from scattered efforts because you are trying to do and be too many things all at once. Because the “intention” about who you really are and what you really want is not front and center.
Don’t add more work when you are not achieving your intended results in your life or work.
This is not the same as never making a change. Instead, I am suggesting that you really invest in a change only when it is truly more aligned with your work/life goals; be it a new job or a new opportunity…I’m suggesting that you let go of one thing fully to start another thing that you are certain is necessary – but only after you have gained clarity of purpose.
Is This Truly Mine to Focus On?
Know the answer to these questions:
- Am I switching gears without having fulling invested myself in what I have already set out to do?
- Is what I am considering doing instead fully aligned with my work and life goals?
- If the answer to #2 is yes, consider this…if you are already doing work aligned with these goals, is it necessary to add more right now?
- How does adding more right now impact your quality of life?
Just as I talked about trusting the process of change in therapy (coaching, consultation, or training)…
You must have faith that you can simply do the work that is in front of you; and not add to your work load in a frenzy to get to some desired outcome more quickly.
It is focus that gets you there…not being everything…to everyone…all of the time. It is consistency of effort that gets you to your end goal…not scattered bits of effort with little or no time for reflection or integration.

Magnum explosion momentarily blurred the vision of himself
falling gracefully, but hard, dead to the ground, the target of
the bullet he had just fired. For he was the target, and the
target was him.
Emmett fought to keep from trembling at the sight which now
lay only a few feet away on the ground, twitching the last nerves
of life from his body. He looked at the buck and saw himself, and
watched as the animal's spirit left the creature still, and saw
how it would be when the time came for him, and he waited
silently and allowed the splendid buck to unsufferingly die in
peace and in private.
The hollow-point bullet exploded inside the creature's brain
and killed him instantly, but that instant was eternal for
Emmett. He moved slowly toward the downed buck, after he was
satisfied that the magic of his death had ended. Now kneeling
beside him, Emmett sensed an overwhelming oneness with the deer.
He slit the animal's belly neatly open and gutted him like a
young surgeon performing an abdominal operation on a live body
for the first time. Then he tied first the front and then the
hind legs of the deer together as he'd been told to do by Little
Bird, using some stringy, cordlike sinew he removed from the
stomach along with the rest of the entrails. He paused for a
moment to look again at the strong beauty of the buck and to let
the poetic harmony of the song he learned from his Pueblo Indian
brother beat throughout his being.
The past month he spent stalking in the woods and climbing in
the mountain forests had strengthened his body to a point where
he could feel the difference in himself. By using all of this
built-up strength and by exerting all of his pent-up energy,
Emmett was able to hoist the slain stag onto his shoulders. He
stood calmly for a moment afterwards to adjust the weight on his
back and to achieve a snug one-to-one balance with the
two-hundred-pound animal he now had to carry all the way back
down to the cabin in El Rito. When he was satisfied with the way
the deer sat on his shoulders, he picked up his .22 and slid it
through both the pairs of corded legs, resting his forearms over
the butt and barrel ends of the rifle to apply just enough easy
pressure on the coupled legs which were folded over his round,
bony shoulders and down against the upper part of his heaving
chest. With his arms hanging loosely in this position, Emmett
felt he would be able to keep the animal braced easily in place
and maintain the even distribution of its weight across his back.

Green valley in Ireland
Ireland is definitely a highlight in Europe. The country offers amazing sights, a wonder of nature, diverse culture sub-cultures and historic places. At the same time, it is easy to do a lot of outdoor sports. Therefore, Ireland represents the perfect country for your next road trip. There is 84.000 km of streets in good condition. In a short amount of time, it is possible to visit a lot of different cities and villages. Explore the gälische culture by yourself. Pick-up your care right after your arrival at the airport! Independence immediately after your arrival.
The Airport Knock is also known as the Ireland West Airport Knock. Between the village knock and the small international airport, there are 20 km. The airport counts around 800.000 passengers each year, most important destinations are London, Mallorca, Cologne, and Faro in Portugal. As soon as you arrive at the airport, you will be able to pick-up your hired car at one of the stations of our partners at the airport and start your journey in Ireland.
Interesting places and their distance from the airport
In Ireland, you will need to drive on the left side of the road. Furthermore, the steering wheel and the manual gear shift is on the opposite side than you are used to. Therefore, if you pick up the hired car after your arrival in Ireland, you should be careful while becoming used to this new way of driving. Choosing an automatic car makes driving a lot easier for you, like this you can concentrate fully on the traffic and you won’t need to pay attention to the gearshift.
Please also take care of the following things:
You should also take care of the speed limits so that you do not risk any danger or penalty. There are also some speed cameras in Ireland which are not cheap. On motorways, you will have to pay tolls, which average approximately €6 per 100km for a 3.5-tonne vehicle.
From home, you can easily book a hired car online. Driveboo offers you different options from various partners. First of all, you should enter the location where you would like to pick up the hired car in the search bar. We recommend picking up the hired car at the airport so that you can start your journey as soon as you arrive at the airport. However, some tourists prefer to take a short break after arrival. Like this, you can recover from the flight.
You can cancel your booking free of charge up to 24 hours before the rental. Some hired car companies only allow you to cancel the booking up to 48 hours before the start of the rental period, so please read the conditions of your offer while booking it. To cancel, please send us an e-mail and contact us by telephone 72 hours before the start of the rental period to ensure that the cancellation goes smoothly.
The one-way rental allows you to specify two different locations as pick-up and drop-off locations for your journey. Like this, you can easily plan a road trip. Imagine you land at the airport in Knock and hire your hired car there. Afterward, you enjoy your round trip through Ireland and return your hired car a few days later in e.g. Dublin. Of course, you have to indicate this in the search bar.
Many people travel to Ireland in summer because the temperatures are the highest and the number of rainy days the lowest, but this also increases prices and there are tourists everywhere. Peak season is in summer, but whether this is the best time to travel to Ireland is questionable. Of course, many people want to escape the rain, but is it worth travelling with thousands of other tourists? .So why not travel to Ireland during the off-season? This does not just save you money. The best time to travel to Ireland is in April, May, early June, and early October, because at these times the peak season is over or has not yet started.

Wayne H. Mori, DMD is based out of Portland, OR. Wayne H. Mori, DMD values your feedback and has received 9 reviews with an average rating of 5.0 from patients. Click on the Post Review button to share your comments.
Note: Your comments will be posted on this website with your first name and last initial.
I had my first visit to this office today. It has been 3+ years since I have seen a dentist due to falling behind and then Covid. I am new in Portland and chose this office due to all the 5 star reviews. I could not have chosen better. The 5 star reviews are spot on! The whole team and Dr. Mori were incredible. The mood of the office/clinic is highly professional and all seems state of the art but there is a cozy, relaxed hominess too. Very clean and a spectacular view of the city from every chair (I asked.) Dental assistant, Michael, was so competent, pleasant and reassuring. Not a fan of dental visits up until today. My teeth feel clean and great and I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to know I have a great dentist!
I was referred to Dr Mori through a friend and have some complex mouth issues. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable about my options and a better bedside manner than any dentist I have had in the past. His staff is excellent and also helps to coordinate care impeccably. Also, kudos on diversity! I now have a plan that makes sense and hope for maintaining my future smile.
I’ve been a patient of Dr Maori’s for almost 15 years now, and I simply can’t endorse his work enough. He is gentle and caring- he remembers personal things about each patient and genuinely cares about them, beyond their dental health. His staff is simply unsurpassed- from the wonderful warmth at the front desk to the exceptionally skilled hygienists he has employed over the years, this is a truly professional operation of the utmost skill-set. I adore Dr Mori and all his collaborators. Special thanks to Mandy, who is certainly the most gifted and thorough hygienist I’ve ever had in my 45 years. What a wonderful group of dental professionals!
I’ve seen three dentists in Portland trying to find a really good dentist. Happily, my search ended after seeing Dr. Mori. He and his team are a well oiled machine that deliver the best dental experience. Every procedure is fully explained beforehand as well as while you are undergoing it. This dental practice is the best I’ve EVER found (I’m 43 and have lived in three metropolitan cites).
Dr. Mori is kind, careful, thoughtful, and genuine. He has not been like any other dentist I've been to. He does my cleanings, he hasn't once tried to sell me something, add on services, or even demand I get X-rays (I've asked to skip them). The front desk lady is awesome, and his assistant is kind and caring. I will continue to go here so long as it continues to be like this. What a refreshing experience.
Dr. Mori and his staff are amazing. I feel like I know everyone and I've only been there a few times. They are so easy going but very professional. I've had to reschedule a few appts due to my job, but they're always so good about fitting me in when it's the most convenient. Aside from that, Dr. Mori and the hygienist are very thorough during my exams and cleanings. I couldn't have found a better team! Thank you all.
I have been going to Dr. Mori's office for over 4 years. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist. Very nervous. But I'm not afraid to go to the dentist any more because of Dr. Mori and his staff. All of them are just wonderful. They have made going to the dentist a very pleasant experience. I am so happy that Dr. Mori is my dentist.
Dr. Wayne mori and the entire staff are amazingly friendly! You can really see that they care about their patients and want what's best for you. They will always try to look through your insurance and make sure you are getting the best price possible as well which I appreciate. 10/10 recommend!
Thank you for Submitting your request. Our Office will get back to you. |

Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding AKA as hydro mulching or hydra seeding is a planting process that uses mulch and slurry of seed. This technique is often used for erosion control on construction sites. In addition, it is an excellent alternative to dry seed sowing and broadcasting.
This seeding method is cost-effective and ensures fast-growing. And moreover, it provides great control over erosion. High-quality wooden fibers are used along with grass seeds. This creates an organic blanket that can provide ideal conditions for seed germination and growth.
In most cases, a significant level of lush growth is seen within one week of seeding. This is an excellent means for the traditional management of the lawn. In short, it is an ideal solution for planting on sloped and hillside areas, where erosion is a major concern.
Hydro mulching is very useful for starting a new lawn on barren land. These areas often need erosion control and soil coverage. The quality of turf can be greatly maintained with hydro mulching techniques. We use only top quality seeds, mulches, and fertilizers. Above all, they aid in the development of a strong and healthy root system for proper lawn development.

By keeping the real challenges in mind, we provide a wide range of options to control erosion problems on a sustainable basis.
In low to medium flow land spaces use of heavy-duty silt fencing is an excellent option to stop deterioration. Similarly, plant residues and mulches can offer great resistance against erosion.

For example, it restores vegetation at golf courses and provides hillside stabilization. Hydroseeding allows even distribution and is a faster process. It is termed as sustainable, as installation costs are minimum. To sum up it ensures long term benefits, without any footprints on the environment.
Fast Growing Grasses
In the hydroseeding technique, the slurry is used along with quality fertilizers, that ensure excellent growth of grasses. A combined application of desirable fertilizers according to soil quality and growing conditions is also possible. This can be greatly personalized according to soil type.
For instance, different soil properties offer different rates of nutrient availability to the growing vegetation. Before growing, or applying fertilizers, it is essential that soil is properly tested to know the nutritional status. This directly determines which application of nutrients to utilize in soil and their movement to growing plants.

Some people say you have to use KWFinder while some say you have to use SEMrush to get higher rankings.
Which one is the best for SEO? Which one should you use?
It’s a question that drives you nuts.
And you just can’t figure it out.
Well, the answer depends on the level of your SEO knowledge, your budget, and the job you’re looking to accomplish.
In this article, I’ll compare KWFinder vs SEMRush to see which one you should go with, and why.
Short on time? Here’s a quick verdict for you.
KWFinder vs Semrush: Short Verdict
KWFinder is primarily a keyword research tool, while SEMrush is an all-in-one SEO tool for experienced SEOs to do competitive analysis, keyword research, content marketing, PPC, and much much more.
Which One is Easier to Use?
First, I decided to see which tool is completely beginner-friendly. Let’s see who came out on top.
KWFinder Ease of Use
KWFinder is very easy to use and no one can beat it in terms of ease of use. It’s the most beginner-friendly solution and what makes it even more beginner-friendly is its user-friendly interface, color coding, and intuitive dashboard.
The reason it is one of the easiest SEO tools is that it is developed especially for keyword research and fewer options mean much faster to get used to. This doesn’t mean that it can do only keyword research, it has some other cool helpful features as well.
But not as compared to SEMrush.
SEMRush Ease of Use
SEMrush is also easy to use but KWFinder is generally more beginner-friendly. It has so many more advanced features than KWFinder, so it’ll take you a little longer to get used to it.
Winner – Ease of Use: Fewer options make KWFinder an easy to use product overall and you can get used to it even if you’re a complete beginner, whereas SEMrush takes a little longer to get used to. So the ease of use battle goes to KWFinder.
Which Tool Is More Accurate & Best for Keyword Research?
Keyword research plays an important role in SEO as oxygen in human living and everyone agrees with that.
However, everyone has a different opinion. Some say “Content is KING” while some say “Backlinks are the most important ranking factor than anything else.”
But in my opinion, keyword research is 50-60% of SEO. I’ll give you the proof as well, just keep reading.
Now let’s compare both tools in terms of keyword research. You might be thinking, how do I am going to compare them?
I’ve always believed in transparency with my blog readers so the best way to compare them is by sharing this site stats with you.
I’ll enter some keywords I rank for on both tools and show you what suggestions both tools are giving us.
I mean the keyword difficulty, the volume, etc., and then show you how much traffic I am actually getting from those keywords and how hard it was for me to get on #1 of Google’s first page for that specific keyword.
In this way, you’ll have a better idea of which one is more accurate and good for keyword research.
Sounds interesting? Let’s start with…
KWFinder Keyword Research & Accuracy
One of the keywords I rank for is “Is Mercari Legit” so I am going to enter this keyword in KWFinder and see what suggestions it gives.
You can type the exact keyword to see the current overview of this keyword or find profitable keywords for your blog.
I entered “Is Mercari Legit” and here are the suggestions for this keyword by KWFinder.
- Keyword Difficulty: 24
- Global Monthly Search Volume: 3,600
SEMrush Keyword Research & Accuracy
Let’s take a look at this exact keyword in SEMrush, and here’s the keyword overview.
- Keyword Difficulty: 72% (Hard)
- Global Monthly Search Volume: 3,000
The actual result I got with this keyword…
So you’ve seen the results of that keyword on both tools, now let me show you the exact results I got with this keyword.
Here are the actual results by ranking on my target keyword, “Is Mercari Legit.”
As you can see, In the last 30 days from now I got “2,794” visitors by ranking on the first spot.
You’ve seen the visitors stats but, Is this topic very hard for me to rank as SEMrush says?
Well, not hard for me because there wasn’t detailed information about this topic at that time meaning not high competition so I just wrote a detailed guide to help users and ranked with 0 backlinks.
The result proves that the KWFinder keyword difficulty metric is much more accurate than SEMrush, while the SEMrush keyword volume metric is much more accurate than KWFinder.
According to Ahrefs’ study, the average #1 ranking page ranks well for about 1,000 other relevant keywords.
Maybe you think that you can’t compare both tool’s accuracy and volume metrics on only one keyword, you’re right.
But you know what?
I’ve tried some of my other keywords as well, and the results are mostly the same.
In short:
KWFinder = Accurate keyword difficulty metrics but not the search volume one as compared to SEMrush.
SEMrush = Accurate search volume metrics but not the keyword difficulty one as compared to KWfinder.
Winner – Keyword Research: Well, it depends on which is the more important metric to you. If you’re not very good at checking the keyword competition manually, then KWFinder is a better choice for you.
On the other side, if you’re good at reviewing the keyword difficulty manually and want to know the accurate search volume metrics, then SEMrush is the winner for you.
However, when it comes to keyword research SEMrush has some cool unique features as well like:
- Keyword Magic Tool
- Keyword Manager
- Keyword AD History
Try both for free to get a better idea.
When you select any plan of KWFinder that doesn’t mean you’ll only get access to Mangools’ KWFinder only but all the other ones as well.
- SERPWatcher (Rank Tracking)
- SERPChecker (SERP Analysis)
- LinkMiner (Backlink Analysis)
- SiteProfiler (SEO metrics & Insights)
So I think I’ll also compare the backlink analysis feature of both tools so you’ll know which one is best when it comes to analyzing backlinks.
SEMrush vs Mangools: Backlink Analysis
I think you’ll agree with me when I say:
Getting high-quality backlinks to your site improves your search engine rankings.
One of the effective ways to get backlinks is to analyze your competitor’s backlinks, and then you can replicate their links.
There are tons of backlink analysis tools but, which one is better in the SEMrush vs KWFinder battle?

nice detailed info..please do ahref vs semrush
Hey Vaibhav, You’re welcome. Maybe I’ll write on Ahrefs vs Semrush as well 🙂 |
As a curious coda to my previous post, in which Kew’s Plant Health and Quarantine Officer, Sara Redstone, notes the frequent mismatch between biological and political borders and discusses the role of quarantine in creating an artificial biological boundary, I was intrigued by this post on the Foreign Policy editors’ blog, Passport, reporting on political borders that have created biological effects.
The story starts with researchers at the University of Haifa, who partnered with Jordanian colleagues to study “a variety of reptile, mammal, beetle, spider and ant lion species on either side of the border in the Arava region.” According to the university’s press release, the team “set out to reveal whether the border – unknown to the species – could affect differences between them and their numbers on either side of the frontier, even though they share identical climate conditions.”
The question, in other words, is whether a border that exists only as a line drawn on a map, rather than an impassable physical boundary, can somehow become instantiated as biological fact?
IMAGE: Satellite image of the Israel–Jordan border in the Arava desert, via Google Maps.
The research team, led by Dr. Uri Shanas, found substantive differences in the numbers, diversity, and even behaviours of animals on either side of the border:lion population in Israel is unmistakably larger than in Jordan.
These differences were then analysed to find evidence of a hypothetical “border effect.” Dr. Shanas concluded that although the yard-high strand of barbed wire tracing the political demarcation “is not capable of keeping these species from crossing the border between Israel and Jordan,” it nonetheless “does stop humans from crossing it and thereby contains their different impact on nature.”

I’m fascinated by the fact that differing land-use practices, environmental legislation, and agricultural technology on either side of the political border have shaped two distinct and separate ecosystems of out what would otherwise be a shared desert environment.
Human activity has imprinted a virtual division onto the biological landscape, creating an immaterial, yet effective, behavioural border.

Came looking for this post after a comment on my blog by Matthew Battles got me thinking about these issues again.
Also realized that there are shades of Bruce Sterling’s notion of involuntary parks, especially the Korean DMZ which is uninhabitable by humans and so has become a kind of nature preserve.
that’s incredible. the borders must affect human development and evolution, too.
have you found any similar research on the human side? |

Understanding ARM startup code (__scatterload stuff)
<< < (4/4)
abyrvalg:
Looks like a licensing problem. Armclang has tons of optional features controlled by a huge license config file - code size restrictions, various optimization options enabling, output formats restrictions etc.
simonlasnier:
--- Quote from: westfw on October 20, 2021, 08:12:05 pm ---For CM23, I'd start to expect that some build environments would have some support for the "trustzone" features that ARM is pushing. Maybe adding overrun protection to the stack in addition to "just set SP to some place in memory", and/or "protecting" un-allocated memory.
--- End quote ---
Funny you are mentioning this - it seems the TrustZone is optional for Cortex M-23 -
And I cannot figure out whether it is implemented in my GD32E230 or not :-//
Looking at the datasheet - - it only mentions this:
--- Quote ---* Internal Bus Matrix connected with AHB master, Serial Wire Debug Port and Single-cycle
IO port
* Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
* Breakpoint Unit(BPU)
* Data Watchpoint and Trace (DWT)
* Serial Wire Debug Port
--- End quote ---
If I compared with the datasheet of the GD32E505 f.x. which has a Cortex M-33 (also with optional TrustZone) - - this one mentions a lot more like the DSP, FPU, MPU and ITM f.x. which are all optional for Cortex M-33.
So my guess is since the TrustZone is not mentioned anywhere it is not implemented in neither of these MCUs?
westfw:
It looks like even "baseline" ARMv8 have some non-optional stack limit checking:
--- Quote --.
--- End quote ---
I am, alas, not surprised that the 76-page datasheet you have is not very complete WRT the information it provides :-((although I've really come to like the section I've seen in SOME datasheets where they go "here are the Cortex-M0+ configuration options, and how they've been set in the particular chip. It doesn't seem very common, though. :-( )
[attachimg=1]
abyrvalg:
This[/url] GD32E230 launch note says “Subsequent products can also benefit from TrustZone® technology”, so it looks like “not this time”.
simonlasnier:
@westfw: Ha ha yes that would be perfect :)
And just FYI the stack limiting in Cortex M-23 is obligatory in the Secure Mode (if TrustZone is implemented), and not at all possible in non-Secure Mode (or without TrustZone). In M-33 you have MSPLIM and PSPLIM for non-secure mode.
@abyrvalg: well spotted - that confirms it then ;)

EMC announces its 100th Academic Alliance Partner, St. Paul University of Iloilo City and offers courses in Information Storage & Management, Cloud Computing, Data Science & Big Data Analytics and Backup & Recovery Services
St. Paul University aims to develop skill sets in engineering graduates in leading areas of IT and make them industry ready.
Expected enrolment of 2,500 students for EMC courses in the next two years in the current 100 EMC Academic Alliance institutions.
The EMC Academic Associate recognition will endorse skills of students in high demand sectors of Cloud Computing and Information Storage & Management and enhance their employability
EMC today announced its landmark 100th EMC Academic Alliance (EAA) partner in the Philippines. St. Paul University has joined the EMC Academic Alliance (EAA) program to offer courses in leading areas of technology including Information Storage & Management, Cloud Computing, Data Science & Big Data Analytics and Backup & Recovery Services to engineering graduates.
The partnership with St. Paul University marks a true milestone for EMC and the EAA program in the Philippines, having forged alliances with its first EAA partner, De La Salle University, in 2008. To date, EMC has trained over 1,140 students in the Philippines and more than 300,000 students in over 70 participating countries since its inception in 2006.
According to a recent survey by EMC, almost 46% believe that getting I.T. staff trained to keep pace with the implications of technology megatrends will be a challenge for their organization over the next few years. The EAA program seeks to bridge the skills gap in the industry and make the students industry ready, thereby enhancing their employability.
As part of EAA, EMC will provide St. Paul University with Instructor Training, Curriculum, Teaching resources and course materials to enable the institute with expertise and knowledge in line with the latest industry trends. In addition, EMC will conduct four five-day instructor-led training programs in Cloud and Big data in Manila, Davao, Iloilo and Cebu in 2015 for 120 university instructors.
Through the EMC HYPERLINK “” Academic Alliance program, EMC collaborates with leading educational institutions worldwide to address the emerging knowledge gap in the industry developing a resource pool of skilled, certified and industry-ready professionals. This is the only program in the industry that offers unique ‘open’ curriculum based education for students.
EMC also launched the new EMC Academic Associate recognition that would validate skills of EAA students in the high demand areas of Information Storage Management and Cloud Computing. The recognition which involves evaluation by EMC shall prove their skills and industry readiness to potential employers in the industry. It also endorses the students’ skills to be at par with their global counterparts. The recognition will be rolled out to all 100 EAA partner institutes across the country over the year.
To achieve EMC Academic Associate recognition, students are required to complete a highly technical online test available at zero cost. The globally standardized test provides objective validation to the EMC Academic Associate of his/her knowledge. The EMC Academic Associate recognition would also enable the students to join a large and diverse EMC technical community, where they can network, seek and give advice, and learn more through online forums such as the EMC Proven Professional community. The recognition can be promoted by students through the use of the Academic Associate logo and credential on resumes, email signatures, and in social media.
The online test for students is created by EMC technical subject matter experts who have developed EMC’s ‘open’ curriculum, ensuring strict alignment to the course materials and strong relevance in the industry. EMC Academic Associate is expected to benefit 2,000 students in the Philippines in 2015.
Mr. Krishna Kant, Head, EMC Academic Alliance, South Asia, Russia & ANZ
“The EMC Academic Alliance Program is aimed at cultivating talent globally and we are working with the best universities and technology education institutions in the world. We are happy to extend our expertise in emerging areas of technology to students of St. Paul University who play a major role in the emerging IT sector in the country.
Through the EAA program and EMC Academic Associate Recognition, we are focused on bridging the skills gap in the industry and validating the skills of the students which will significantly enhance their employability.”
Ronnie Latinazo, Managing Director, EMC Corporation Philippines
“The Philippines is one of the largest suppliers of IT talent in the region. The IT skills shortage both locally and globally, coupled with the growing adoption of cloud computing in the market presents many opportunities for skilled Filipino students to advance in the field.
Through the EMC Academic Alliance Program, we aim to help engineering graduates develop the required skill sets in leading areas of IT to make them industry ready. This is an important landmark for EMC and we look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership addressing the skills gap in the Philippines”.

When it comes to picking a workout, many people are left baffled as well as don’t understand what to choose. There is very little in the means of major distinctions between the terms, though it can be handy to know a little bit about every one. Essentially, there’s a noticeable distinction between the terms: exercise is real physical activity done with the goal of generating an effect in the present, right here right now. Every exercise is provided for that single function: to produce a response that pleases the exerciser’s immediate need: either burning up some calories, coming to be sweaty, or energized. And also, the result, whatever that might be, is always geared towards some sort of positive end result.
When people are asked what they do to remain fit, a a great deal of them will claim, “boxing.” While it holds true that some boxing does entail some physical activity, the overwhelming bulk of individuals experiencing persistent conditions and other bodily conditions state their recreation tasks are sedentary. Their “exercise” is viewing television or listening to the radio. They have not had an exercise program considering that secondary school. t nation website
The key word right here is “utilize workout” or “compound workout.” You need to make an aware effort to utilize exercise daily to stay healthy and balanced as well as recover. (An excellent workout program is not something you do arbitrarily and then quit when you do not feel like it.) For the majority of people, the most effective exercise schedule for use work involves a mix of cardiovascular exercises and also muscle-strengthening stamina training for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time two or three times a week.
Some individuals feel they can work out much longer or much more often than this, but the body’s natural action to raised workout strength is to raise heart price and utilize even more power in the short-term. For a person who frequently works out, the very best means to boost the amount of muscle mass tissue she or he can develop during a solitary workout session is by enhancing the strength and regularity of his/her workout. A typical cardiovascular workout session includes three to 5 minutes of cardiovascular workout, which is executed on a regular basis. This is complied with by a few minutes of compound workout, which normally includes leg expansion or squatting, bench pressing or pull ups. These exercises enhance the heart price as well as the quantity of pressure created by each muscle mass group during the exercise session.
Muscle mass strengthening works by utilizing muscle mass a lot more actively, which creates it to get more snugly. Like cardiovascular workouts, it calls for a lot more effort to move weights and lengthen muscle mass throughout a compound exercise than it does to simply exercise them. For instance, if a male weights himself down with his hands, he is functioning both his upper and also lower body – just the muscle mass that he made use of to do a bench press 5 years back. This type of movement boosts muscular tissue growth because the effort called for to finish the exercise demands a lot more energy. However, if he had simply held his hand or fingers in position while doing bench presses, then he would certainly have used his non-dominant hand (his more powerful arm) for every one of the job.
Another benefit of resistance training, which can be made use of either in your home or at the health club, is enhanced sleep high quality. Body builders as well as other weightlifters comprehend this, which is why they pick to do their workouts at the health club rather than in your home. The gym enables them to do a detailed program that integrates aerobic exercise, stamina training and a correct diet regimen. With a full routine workout program, most individuals find that they experience much more energy and far better sleep top quality, which brings about more efficiency at the workplace. t bar row explained
Of course, not everyone requires to do a full-body workout program to gain from its benefits. As an example, if a person experiences chronic discomfort from a previous injury, after that he should not do exercise when his pain is present. Nonetheless, doing routine workout can help reduce or eliminate the requirement for prescription discomfort medicines.
Lots of people suffer from chronic conditions and some also consider it a dependency. If you are one of the many individuals suffering from chronic diseases or have actually just recently fought cancer cells, after that you might intend to consider engaging in normal physical activity as a way to deal with or avoid chronic illness. Even if you have not experienced a current physical issue, you may have the ability to gain from a regular exercise routine. Routine exercise assists lower high blood pressure and also can also reduce the progression of some types of cancer. Ultimately, some research studies have shown that individuals experiencing persistent disease might be able to gain from a normal exercise regimen. Despite your existing health and wellness or current physical state, you ought to think about taking part in a little of exercise on a daily basis to reap the benefits.
A great way to begin would certainly be to see your neighborhood gym and also have a talk with the gym instructors. Inquire about the types of exercises they choose and whether you can do that in your home. Generally, your health club will have an exercise program made especially for novices. Look for one that has exercises that use primarily compound workouts so that you can focus on creating your muscles as they are being dealt with. Additionally, the programs generally have suggested quantities of repeatings and also sets and also will tell you just how often you must work out. When it pertains to building muscle mass, it is actually best to begin slowly and develop to harder degrees.
Obviously, it do without saying that when you see a fitness center for your exercises, your diet regimen needs to be inspected too. When it comes to slimming down, having a healthy and balanced diet plan is equally as crucial as having the appropriate workout program. It will not just make your exercises easier as well as much more effective, but will certainly additionally prevent any type of possible difficulties in the future. The famous body builder and also instructor, John Carlton Phillips, frequently claims that individuals who wish to lose weight needs to start consuming healthy and balanced food initially. l a fitness personal trainer
The something that remains continuous when it come to exercises is the reality that you need to continuously work your legs as well as various other core parts of your body. This is why crouches continue to be one of the most popular workouts today, especially amongst the women population. However, there is still far more research study that requires to be done on these exercises and exactly how they can assist you create the muscle mass you want. All the same, it is suggested to consult your medical professional prior to undertaking any kind of workout program. She or he will certainly be able to suggest an exercise routine that will certainly be risk-free for your type of body as well as will certainly offer you favorable results in the end. |

Environmental mechanics impact the behaviour of cells, which in turn modify their surroundings. These bi-directional cell-tissue interactions have important consequences for gene expression, cell fate and function and give rise to transient and permanent tissue modifications. These processes are key for immunity and homeostasis, but also play a role in pathological processes as they are critical for fibrosis, inflammation and cancer metastasis.
This symposium will focus on the interplay of cells with their environment and will bring together clinicians, cell biologists and material scientists interested in mechanobiology at the molecular, cellular and tissue level to approach its role in human physiology and pathology from different perspectives and scales. We will specifically discuss new technological approaches from the field of material sciences that enable the study of mechanobiology in vivo and in vitro, keeping in mind their potential use in a more applied context.

“suppose you are not the kind of individual who enjoys desired to have sexual intercourse all the time, parohac seznamka but your spouse are. Will you become individual state just because There isn’t these goals you can’t keep these things either?” she said. “I became released to it through a non-sexual lens. Within my friend group, I am really the only polyamorous individual and I also experience the least gender.”
Some people come in for sex but rest become for mental intimacy or a combination of the 2, Davis stated.
Addison added: “many people who will be asexual and/or aromantic may diagnose because polyamorous too, however their descriptions and borders around their own affairs will probably be private and self-defined when it comes to those matters.”
Confidence is key for polyamorous relations
“used to do issues that I mentioned I would never manage as I was in my fits of jealousy,” Smith stated of their pre-polyamorous existence. “That helped me recognize just how much i must take a step back and run my self.”
Experts within the field agree the single thing that’s needed most importantly of all in polyamorous interactions try believe.
“believe is vital,” Davis stated. “That sits on establishing the norms . following stronger and transparent communications about requirements, which could evolve. Talking through jealousy, instead wanting to curb it, is vital.”
Addison mentioned jealousy should not be seen as a hurdle.
“prevent considering jealousy as something to ‘combat,’ she stated. “It’s an emotion. Feelings cannot always sound right, but feelings usually would. Feelings may be the smoking that states there is a fire somewhere.”
Usatynski included: “informing someone to fight jealousy is a bit like telling them to walk out the windows and ‘combat’ the power of gravity.”
Effy Blue, a connection advisor, advised tactics to fight envy while in the “Red Table Talk” event:
- Quiet yourself.
- Figure out what’s causing you.
- Confer with your companion.
- Meet needs yourself.
- Know compersion (joy for an individual else’s pleasure that doesn’t pertain to your) versus jealousy.
Davis mentioned polyamory is renewable possesses inherit value for a few people.
“Many people are not emotionally or literally satisfied by anyone due to their whole lives,” she said. “I can not think about any non-religious reasons why folks must be happy one people.”
What if I am nevertheless doubtful about polyamory?
That is okay! Even though somebody else does it doesn’t mean you must.
Usatynski is a skeptic and thinks many people aren’t well-suited for training.
“I believe that polyamorists has lots of information regarding what they feel they should be able to perform in interactions and what they contemplate as an ‘enlightened’ connections, but these options travel facing basic evolutionary and neurobiological science,” she stated.
She brings that many folks would believe threatened if their unique lasting spouse planned to end up being mentally or intimately intimate with some other person, and therefore when force concerns push polyamorous affairs were difficult to uphold – especially when young ones and the regular chaos of lives are participating.
“to be honest, it-all drops apart in tension, needs and duties of contemporary lifestyle,” she extra.
Cannot scoff during the idea of it totally, though.
“most proposed monogamists is better offered by freely taking on polyamory,” Davis argued. “As soon as we glance at the numbers of so-called monogamists exactly who search extra relations, it might be the case that monogamy is not necessarily the majority orientation we feel it’s.”
Jada Pinkett Smith merely desires her girl to love by herself.
“As long as you is understanding how to experience the greatest love affair with Willow, I’m okay with what you may do,” she said on “Red Table Talk.”
Banfield-Norris echoed an identical sentiment: “As I’m sitting right here i am acknowledging it isn’t really actually all those things very important to me to read . it’s important that I have the ability to listen without view and let you analysis thing.” |
Fashion brands know experimenting with tech is imperative, whether it be to enhance the retail experience or introduce fans to the concept of virtual reality. For Gap Inc., which, in addition to its eponymous label owns Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta and Intermix, technology has never played a major role in its business strategy. But as the company struggles with declining sales, it's trying to find creative ways to engage with customers. That's where Gap's "DressingRoom" app will come in when it launches in the coming days.
The application, built in collaboration with Google and San Francisco-based startup Avametric, uses augmented reality to let shoppers "try on" clothes without having to step into a store. After you add information such as her height and weight, DressingRoom places a virtual 3D model in front of you and lets you see how different items would fit. If you like the way a garment looks on you, or at least looks on the mannequin based on your measurements, you can purchase it directly from the app. While retailers have been experimenting with virtual try-ons for years, Gap is among the first to add an AR twist to the idea.
As compelling as the idea may be, it does have its limitations. For starters, it's exclusive to Google Tango smartphones, and right now there are barely any of those available. So far, there's only Lenovo's Phab2 Pro, and ASUS isn't expected to release its ZenFone AR until later this year. Gap says that for the time being, it's focused only on making its application work on Google's augmented-reality platform. That's great news for the search giant, which needs more willing partners like Gap in order for Tango to be a success.
The other issue is that some people, myself included, would prefer to physically try on the clothes before making a decision. I'm probably not the only person who feels this way, although as a techie I'm curious to give it a shot. Avametric, whose tech powers the app, says it's already working with other brands and retailers on similar projects, but, unfortunately, the company couldn't disclose much beyond that.
When asked why choose AR over VR to build DressingRoom, Avametric CEO Ari Bloom suggested augmented reality has a gentler learning curve. He says the hardware and software required for virtual reality has more "immediate barriers," because you have to learn new behaviors to interact with things around you. Mixed reality, meanwhile, continues to be an appealing technology for many developers, with the success of Pokémon Go being perhaps the most prominent example.
Gap's DressingRoom app will soon let you 'try on' clothes from home.
DressingRoom likely won't solve all, if any, of Gap's problems. The company has been struggling in recent years, having suffered seven consecutive quarters of declining sales, according to Investopedia. It has logged strong holiday numbers this winter, but by that point Gap had already announced it was closing more than 175 of its namesake stores. Gil Krakowsky, VP of strategy and business development for Gap, says DressingRoom is just one of initiatives his team is working on to lure shoppers back in -- particularly those who don't visit its brick-and-mortar locations.
Gap isn't the only mainstream retailer in a slump. Last month, Macy's revealed it will cut 10,000 jobs after mediocre sales during the holidays. The company blamed some of its troubles on tech giant Amazon, which has won over customers with its own fashion section, low prices and expedited shipping for Prime members. As a result, Macy's had to close 100 stores and said it would start focusing on its "digital business," though it's not clear what that means. Macy's declined to comment for this story, but one could assume this means placing more resources on its online site and apps.
As for Gap, Krakowsky says it's too early to know if DressingRoom will have any positive financial impact. He says his team will see how customers respond to the app, which is set to launch on Google Play soon. "The fashion industry," he says, "has not traditionally been geared toward helping people understand how clothes will actually fit," and he believes DressingRoom is an opportunity to change that. We'll see how that turns out. |

Because I've been living the aquarium life for nearly a year, I happened to be awake shortly before dawn on Friday to watch Vice President Kamala Harris exercise the one constitutional duty a vice president has that doesn't also require the president's becoming dead. The Senate was on a 15-hour parliamentary bender with its waferish new Democratic majority trying to pass budget bill that would clear the way for passage through reconciliation the president's proposed $1.9 trillion COVID relief package. A little after five on Friday morning, Harris broke a 50-50 tie and gave the White House and congressional Democrats the go-ahead to pass the relief package with those same 51 votes. Harris is going to be doing this a lot over the next two years. Being VP isn't all beer and state funerals, pilgrim.
If you needed further proof that the stakes of the 2020 election were even more monumental than they were made out to be over the past two years, this one vote, and the ones that come after it, should be all the evidence anyone needs. Democrats won this vote because the Biden-Harris team won the presidential election and because they also hit the two-senator parlay in Georgia. From the Washington Post:
With the budget resolution nearly complete, Congress can turn in earnest to writing Biden’s expansive pandemic relief proposal into law — and push it through the Senate, without Republican votes if necessary, under the special rules unlocked by the budget legislation. That process will take weeks, with Democrats eyeing mid-March as the deadline for final passage of the relief legislation because that is when enhanced unemployment benefits will expire if Congress doesn’t act first...Despite Biden’s campaign promises of unity and bipartisanship, now that Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the White House they appeared ready to leave Republicans behind. Republican senators accused Democrats of hypocrisy and argued that, after already devoting $4 trillion to fighting the pandemic, including $900 billion in December, there was no need to spend another $2 trillion on what they termed a wish-list of liberal priorities.
And the White House and the Democratic majority told them to take a seat. Enhanced unemployment insurance, more money for vaccines against the pandemic? These are a "wish list of liberal priorities?" None of the old spells and incantations work any more. The country's had a good look for four years at what happens when "small government" conservatism is handed a major national disaster. And another indication that times and circumstances have changed, and that some people are discouraged by this, is the fact that Larry Summers apparently has made another ungainly dive for relevance. In 2009, Summers was one of the most vocal proponents of going big on a relief package to help Americans get through the Great Recession. Now, however, according to Tiger Beat On The Potomac, Summers finds the Biden relief proposal too big for his comfort. From TBOTP:.
When, at some future date, the Smithsonian builds its Museum Of The American Collapse, this item will figure prominently in the exhibit dedicated to the Washington press corps in general, and TBOTP in particular. The country is facing two massive crises simultaneously today, at this very damn moment, and Larry Summers picks this time of all times to give us an ant-and-the-grasshopper lecture, and he isn't mocked into a fine powder by every reporter and pundit in the galaxy?
The 2020 elections were not fought and won by the faint-hearted, or by Washington Wise Men who feel lost if they're not consulted every 20 minutes. Got a problem with that? Take it up with Madame VP. She has the hammer now. |
