{"context":"Dynamic security limits the power transfer capacity between regions and therefore has an economic impact. The power modulation control of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) links can improve the dynamic security of the power system. Having several HVDC links in a system creates the opportunity to coordinate such control, and coordination also ensures that negative interactions do not occur among the controllable devices.\\nThis thesis aims to increase dynamic security by coordinating HVDC links, as an alternative to decreasing the transfer capacity. This thesis contributes four control approaches for increasing the dynamic stability, based on feedforward control, adaptive control, optimal control, and exact-feedback linearization control. Depending on the available measurements, dynamic system model, and system topology, one of the developed methods can be applied. The wide-area measurement system provides the central controller with real-time data and sends control signals to the HVDC links.\\nThe feedforward controller applies rapid power dispatch, and the strategy used here is to link the N-1 criterion between two systems. The adaptive controller uses the modal analysis approach; based on forecasted load paths, the controller gains are adaptively adjusted to maximize the damping in the system. The optimal controller is designed based on an estimated reduced-order model; system identification develops the model based on the system response. The exact-feedback linearization approach uses a pre-feedback loop to cancel the nonlinearities; a stabilizing controller is designed for the remaining linear system.\\nThe conclusion is that coordinating the HVDC links improves the dynamic stability, which makes it possible to increase the transfer capacity. This conclusion is also supported by simulations of each control approach.\\nDue\\nThis paper presents a method for designing a centralized coordinated controller for several HVDC links. The controller increases the damping of the power oscillations by modulating the current through the HVDC links in a coordinated fashion. To design a centralized coordinated controller a reduced order open system model is estimated. The open system model of the power system is estimated using the Numerical Algorithms for Subspace State-Space System Identification (N4SID) algorithm which is a black-box system identification technique. The current set-point change through the HVDC links is the set of input signals and the speeds of the generators are the set of outputs. This controller design method increases the damping significantly, which is shown for a small power system. CIGR\u00c9 Nordic 32-bus system including two HVDC links. The case study demonstrates that accurate low-order state-space models can be estimated and validated by using the described method to accurately model the system's power oscillatory behavior.\\nThis paper deals with optimal coordinated control of several high voltage direct current (HVDC) links based on an estimated model of large power systems. The model of the power system is estimated by using subspace system identification techniques. An optimal controller is designed based on the estimated model with the aim to improve the damping in the system. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a new method which uses global Phasor measurement units (PMUs) signals for coordinated damping control of multiple HVDC links. The input signals are the controllable set-points of the HVDC links, the output signals are the speed signals of selected generators obtained from PMU. The PMU signals are used to estimate the current state of the model, i.e., the state of the system, an appropriate control action can then be applied to dampen the system. The benefit of the method is that the used output signals, i.e., the used PMU signals, are independent of the system equilibrium and therefore makes it possible to use state-feedback control, i.e., coordinated control. The method is applied to the Cigre Nordic 32-bus system including two HVDC links. The consistent results show that the damping can be significantly increased.\\nQC 20120503.","question":"What are the four control approaches for increasing the dynamic stability in a power system as mentioned in the thesis?","answer":"The four control approaches for increasing the dynamic stability are feedforward control, adaptive control, optimal control, and exact-feedback linearization control."} {"context":"Company\\nServices\\nProducts\\nCompany\\nServices\\nProducts\\nBackground\\nView9 Pty Ltd (View9) is the owner and operator a website located at\\n(Site).\\nBy using the Site, you (the user) agree to be bound by the Terms of Use as published below, and which can be amended at anytime at View9's discretion.\\nYour use of the Site indicates your acceptance of these Terms of Use.\\nSecurity\\nThe transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure or error free.

The internet has been around for quite a while now. For some of us older teachers, the internet was a new exciting land we discovered mid-way through our careers. It certainly presented many great opportunities, but also presented many challenges. For example, how could we incorporate using the internet into our lesson plans? or, would people stop studying English with teachers and just learn online? I think it's safe to say at this point that English teachers are here to stay. The simple fact seems to be that motivation is key and, unless you are highly self-motivated- it's impossible to learn only online. Students need teachers to help discuss misunderstandings, learn more context, and generally hold their hands as they go through the difficult, but exciting process of learning a second (or third, or fourth) language. I'd say this is just human nature. <\/p>

<\/p>

I've had the good fortune to spend many years in the classroom, as well as provide materials online and work with many companies that provide English instruction online. I've learned quite a few lessons along the way, so I'd like to share some of my "Pros" and "Cons" concerning online English language learning.<\/p>

Pros<\/h3>

Generally, the internet works great as a means to expand upon what you're already doing to teach or learn English. The main thing is contact with English and the internet provides that in spades. However, teachers are key in helping students navigate their way through the learning process. No matter how cool the technology is, without a teacher it's all overwhelming. Teachers provide the filter, can point the way, and can help untangle the knots.<\/p>

- When it comes to reference, nothing beats the internet.<\/strong><\/p>

Sites like Urban Dictionary and Thesaurus.com provide reference tools that students and teachers can use that are a lot more user friendly than reference books.<\/p>

- If you need something general, but ready-made to fill in the gaps, you'll find plenty of materials.<\/strong><\/p>

There are plenty of sites with general English learning materials including , grammar activities and more. The only problem is that there are so many sites, that finding something you like can be a bit overwhelming. <\/p>

- It's the best place to find authentic, niche-specific learning materials, and especially useful for English for specific purposes learners.<\/strong><\/p>

I think this is one of the very best things about using the internet. Using sites like the US students can find out detailed information and become used to .<\/p>

- You can find something to engage EVERY student no matter how unmotivated they are.<\/strong><\/p>

Admittedly, sometimes keeping students engaged seems to be more baby-sitting than teaching. However, for those hard to please students, you're bound to find a YouTube video or silly quiz that will keep them busy when they are fed up with standard learning materials.<\/p>

- For prepping lessons, there are tools such as concordance websites that make delivering tailored made content really easy.<\/strong><\/p>

This is related to the reference issue, but I'd like to stress how much concordance websites can help with isolating key vocabulary when using the lexical approach.<\/p>

- There are some great tools that are free online.If you are willing to pay, there are incredible tools and resources that can whip up worksheets on the fly.<\/strong><\/p>

Pay-up that's all there is to it. The free tools are great, but advertising gets in the way and there are many limitations on free software. <\/p>

- Translation tools abound, but it's a double edged sword.<\/strong><\/p>

It's great that students can translate on the fly. On the flip-side, students can easily become obsessed with understanding each word and don't make enough headway towards fluency.<\/p>

Cons<\/h3>

- The internet is very passive.<\/strong><\/p>

Acquiring a language is both active and passive. The internet is great for providing the learning content, but not so good when it comes to actively using the language. Of course, there are classroom blogs, chat sessions and so on, but teacher engagement is key to getting students to use these opportunities. For someone on their own, the internet still seems to be very much a place to consume content. Admittedly, people do use English to communicate on Facebook and other social forums, so there are plenty of opportunities for written practice. However, when it comes to speaking it's not easy to find the opportunities. <\/p>

- Advertising is out of control<\/strong><\/p>

It's often very difficult to distinguish between usable content and advertising copy. This confuses both teachers and learners.<\/p>

- Software will always promise the moon<\/strong><\/p>

Software companies make huge promises. They often deliver amazing results, but the investment required is often too great for your average learner. Once again, teacher assistance is key to helping students become motivated and actually use websites \/ apps \/ programs in a meaningful way.<\/p>

- People suffer from short attention spans on the internet<\/strong><\/p>

This is probably one of the greatest challenges. No matter how cool and useful a website, application, or other internet based activity, the fact is that most people get bored and start looking for the next cool thing long before they've actually been able to learn much of anything. <\/p>

The cons, however, include the internet being very passive, the overwhelming presence of advertising, software often promising more than they can deliver, and people suffering from short attention spans on the internet."} {"context":"MANSON, Wash. - A Chelan County fire chief says a couple was.\\nLink to the story.\\nIt's not often you get to read a story that is as equally sad and hysterical as this one.

Master the art of delegation to help your business expand without loosing focus from the big picture.\\nJust as with any new business, Cerius Executives went through growing pains in its early days. Founding partners Pam and Kristen recount some of the lessons they learned and the impact the art of delegation can have in the success of business growth.\\nThe art of delegation: Don\u2019t hesitate in handing over the reins\\nWhen a business is starting out, the budget is small and business owners can\u2019t afford to hire professionals in every department. That leaves them doing most everything on their own. They do a lot of work in areas with no previous knowledge or experience, learning on the job.\\nEven though business owners count down the days untill they can hire others to do the work, they aren\u2019t always ready to step back when the time comes. Because they\u2019ve built the company from scratch and know it inside out, they consider it their baby. That\u2019s how Pam and Kristen felt when handing over roles they had built and developed to better qualified people.\\n\u201cIt feels like the business is our baby, especially the areas of the business that we focus on,\u201d says Kristen. \u201cIf you ever take management of marketing away from me, I\u2019m done. I love it. I absolutely love the team I get to work with. At the same time, I do realize that as we grow we are going to be hiring more and more people on to do it, but that\u2019s a tough one. That\u2019s my baby.\u201d What if they don\u2019t do it the same\u2026 not the same way as me, but the way that my head has it. I have a vision for how I want it to work. I\u2019m not the best at communicating that vision, it\u2019s easy to communicate to myself. I see it in my head. But now I\u2019ve got to communicate it to somebody else.\u201d\\nThe art of delegation: Trust new ideas and suggestions\\nIt\u2019s tough for entrepreneurs to find and hire the right people. Not for lack of talent, but for lack of trust. Because business owners are so used to their own vision it can be challenging to be open to new ideas and suggestions.\\nPam says they had a tough time hiring people in the beginning, \u201cWe\u2019re just like every other entrepreneur out there. When we start the company, we\u2019re pretty opinionated. It\u2019s all about what we want to do and which way we want to move and how other people have suggestions. Maybe we take them, maybe we won\u2019t. So we had to find somebody that we trusted and we would agree to listen to and go along with their ideas. Because if we didn\u2019t trust them, we were going to override them on every opinion they had.\u201d\\nThe art of delegation: Communicate and share information\\nHigh executive turnover is a problem faced by many organizations. They wonder why talented people who seem to fit into the company culture so well at first want to leave 6 months or a year later. The reason usually is because they\u2019re not getting enough information from the owners or the CEO.\\nThe lack of communication doesn\u2019t allow them to move onto the next step or understand the company\u2019s direction. Because they don\u2019t know enough about the company\u2019s vision they\u2019re unable to steer the company in the right direction and get frustrated when their performance suffers.\\nPam advises, \u201cYou don\u2019t want to lose people because of you. If you\u2019re going to lose people because they\u2019re not doing the job, it\u2019s on them. But if you lose talented people because you\u2019re not communicating correctly, it\u2019s going to cost you a lot of money and you just won\u2019t make the progress in the advancement of your company that you want.\u201d\\nThe art of delegation: Delegate as much as you can\\nIf you reach a point where every waking moment is spent either at work or thinking about it, you\u2019ve reached your limit. Working to the point where you can\u2019t think about anything else is damaging to you personally and your company. Being engrossed in day-to-day tasks takes your mind off the big picture and makes you lose sight of your long-term strategy and vision.\\nWe\u2019re not talking about secretarial positions where you get assistance in any kind of office activity. Identify important areas in your organization that could benefit from better expertise and more time from an experienced person. Out of survival, entrepreneurs can tend to be controlling and try to do as much as possible themselves, thinking they can do it better than anybody else. That\u2019s not always going to be true.\\nWith the large amount of freelance talent in the marketplace, business owners can get quality work done for tasks and projects of any size.

During the children probably wanted to ask god something.\\n____________________________________________________\\nThe key events\\nAn important event is The children gathered in Cologne then they traveled up the Rhine river over the alps into Lombardy and went to the Genoa sea and many of them died traveling to the Genoa sea.They did that because they wanted God to split the Genoa sea so the could get to the promised land without getting wet. When the sea didn't split many of them lost their faith. They tried to get back home but the pope in Rome didn't let them go home on his ships. So they went on slave traders ships where the slave traders tricked the kids where they killed and raped the kids. They got home by using slave trade ships but very little of them did the ones who actually made it home, their parents were disappointed in their children and disowned them. The children felt very bad because they thought it was the work of the devil and many of them lost their faith.\\n___________________________________________________\\nResults + impacts-\\non the way to their destination (genoa) the kids passed through villages some of the people in the villages gave them food.then when the children reached genoa the thought God would Part the sea so they could get through. But the sea never did. When that happened the children broke apart. Children were hungry, and suffering from excessive heat. When the crusades fell apart. Kids scattered. The kids that went to get on boats many bishops refused to let the kids on but some that did, crashed, killing all. Other boats were owned by Muslim trade markets. The kids were often raped and killed. Kids who did make it home ended up lost, sick, and lost their religious fervor. The kids also lost their faith in God. But ones that got to Rome where freed from vows by the pope. The pope claimed that the things that happened to the kids where the work of the devil. Also the pope quoted \"these children put us to shame they rush to recover the Holy land while we sleep\"\\n___________________________________________________\\nStephen of Cloyes\\nIm going to be writing about the child who invisioned jesus.\\nIn France there was a young 12 year old boy by the name Stephen from Cloyes who one time visioned jesus who claimed to see jesus in a poverty stricken pilgrim outfit\\nInspired 30,000 children and could perform miracles.. The second movement was led by a twelve-year-old French shepherd boy named Stephan of Cloyes, who said in June that he bore a letter for the king of France from Jesus. Large gangs of youth around his age were drawn to him, most of whom claimed to possess special gifts of. A few of those who initially joined him possessed his activeness; it is estimated that there were less than half the initial 30,000 remaining, a figure that was shrinking rapidly, rather than growing as perhaps anticipated.\\nAt the end of June 1212, Stephan led his largely juvenile Crusaders from Vend\u00f4me to Marseilles. They survived by begging for food, while the vast majority seem to have been disheartened by the hardship of this journey and returned to their families.\\n___________________________________________________\\n_______________________Editors______________________\\nBrady-\" I have a degree in hypo sociology and that means that I specialize in the crusades.

Never would you think that someone achieving teleportation to another city is real. I must say though, Science has come a long way in such a short space of time. Asking if teleportation will ever become reality, is a good question to ask.\\nTeleportation\\nThe idea of teleportation is to change a physical object into a signal and transmit this signal to somewhere else where it is then reassembled. This has already been done\u2026kind of. By altering this definition by a small amount we have been able to teleport, yes.\\nTeleportation in REAL LIFE\\nIn fact, this altered definition of teleportation has recently allowed for scientists in China to teleport a photon from Earth into Space. Although a photon is not a physical object, it\u2019s a start, and could revolutionize all sorts of things which I will discuss later on. First, we must dive back into the realm of Quantum Physics to understand how this teleportation actually worked.\\nThe Alien World of Quantum Physics\\nIt doesn\u2019t sound nice, I know, but I will make this as understandable as I can for you readers. The problem with Quantum Physics, is that it defies logic. They say that if you believe that you understand Quantum Physics, then you don\u2019t understand it at all. The more you learn about it; the more it confuses you. Quantum Entanglement is certainly not an exception.\\nQuantum Entanglement\\nHaving said how crazy quantum can get; quantum entanglement is when you have two particles that are physically separated from each other \u2013 yet they still have some sort of connection between them [1]. This connection allows them to influence each other instantaneously \u2013 on any scale you want. Imagine you are here on Earth; and on the other side of the Universe you have a person who is \u2018entangled\u2019 to you \u2013 If you clap, the person on the other side of the Universe also claps\u2026 instantaneously.\\nSounds completely alien right? Surprisingly, it has been proven with quantum particles over and over again. This is incredibly shocking, as on a large scale of distance, this passage of information would break the fastest possible speed in the Universe \u2013 the speed of light. This defies the laws of Physics. So how does this relate to how the scientists in China managed to teleport a photon 300 miles, from Earth into Space?\\nQuantum Entanglement and Teleportation relation\\nThis teleportation that the Scientists did, was not quite the disappearing of something that reappears elsewhere, magically \u2013 but the production of an exact copy of that something with its information, by the means of quantum entanglement. Let me explain.\\nImagine looking into a mirror. If you wave your hand at it, your reflection waves back. In quantum entanglement terms; you are entangled with your reflection (\u2018entangled\u2019 means you are connected in a \u201cspooky\u201d way no one knows of yet) \u2013 so by altering your information (by waving), due to this entanglement, your reflection alters theirs instantly \u2013 producing an exact copy of your wave, thus, your reflection waves back at you. As a result, your waving hand has teleported to your reflection. Still don\u2019t get it? This very short video will definitely help you out.\\nThis is how the photon was teleported into Space by the scientists. Mind bending, right? That\u2019s the Quantum world for you.\\nWill teleportation on a large physical scale ever occur?\\nWith the technology we now have, probably not. By using quantum entanglement \u2013 teleportation has been done with atoms, but not with anything bigger. It becomes too complex as you can imagine, but by no means am I saying it is impossible \u2013 it could be done.\\nWhat can this quantum teleportation help us with if we were to achieve it?\\nIf we can\u2019t teleport a McDonalds directly to our beds, what\u2019s the point of this so called \u2018achievement\u2019 \u2013 why is it a breakthrough? Turns out, this form of teleportation has a huge impact \u2013 especially in the world of computers. If data was teleported from computer to computer using quantum entanglement, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to hack that signal since it is nowhere in between the two computers, at all \u2013 therefore, you cannot grasp it [2].\\nThis is a significant step into developing a quantum internet, which is an internet that is impossible to hack, an internet which transmits data instantly across the world. An internet where downloading and uploading speeds do not become a problem anymore. No more kicking your internet router \u2013 bid farewell to lag.\\nThe innovation that is to happen in the future is very uncertain, and we are at the brink of doing amazing things we never thought of doing.

The genus includes dozens of species of leafy shrubs often planted as borders or hedges. Fast-growing and vigorous, elaeagnus (pronounced el-ee-AG-nus) thrives in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 though 9. Some species, such as silverthorn (Elaeagnus pungens) grow to large mounds 15 by 20 feet; others like oleaster (Elaeagnus macrophylla) stay smaller and upright. All prefer a sunny site with well-drained soil and propagate well from cuttings.\\n1\\nTake semi-soft cuttings from either deciduous or evergreen species of elaeagnus in autumn when the wood is reasonably firm and the leaves mature. Summer cuttings also root readily -- but a recent study undertaken by the International Society for Horticultural Science established that fall cuttings have the highest rate of rooting.\\n2\\nIdentify healthy, vigorous elaeagnus plants that show no signs of mineral deficiency such as yellowing foliage. Choose young plants that have not been heavily fertilized and water them well the night before taking cuttings.\\n3\\nAct in the early morning when the plant is turgid. Cut 8-inch sections from the ends of lateral shoots with sharp garden clippers. Avoid taking sections of wood containing flower buds; alternatively, snip off all buds on cuttings.\\n4\\nWrap the cuttings in moist paper towels and place them in a plastic bag immediately after you take them. Avoid exposing them to direct sun. Move the bag to the refrigerator if you are not able to plant immediately.\\n5\\nDisinfect a sharp, thin-bladed knife by wiping the blade with a rag soaked in denatured alcohol. Trim the cuttings to 4 to 6 inches with the knife, making the basal end cut on a sharp diagonal. Clip off the leaves on the lower half of the cutting with scissors and cut off the outer half of each of the remaining leaves.\\n6\\nFill a planting tray with a moist mixture of 1 part peat to 1 part perlite. Dip the base end of each cutting in IBA rooting hormone. Tap the cutting to remove any excess hormone and then insert it 2 to 3 inches into the growing medium. Place the cuttings sufficiently far away from each other so the leaves do not touch. Spray them with a mister immediately after planting.\\n7\\nCover the cuttings with a sheet of plastic wrap, a dome seed-tray cover or a similar repurposed, clear plastic cover. Position the tray indoors in indirect light. Water the cuttings twice a week to keep the soil moist but not wet. Mist the cuttings every other day until new growth appears.\\nThings You Will Need\\n- Garden clippers\\n- Paper towels\\n- Plastic bag\\n- Thin-bladed knife\\n- Clean rag\\n- Denatured alcohol\\n- Kitchen scissors\\n- Planting tray\\n- Peat\\n- Perlite\\n- IBA rooting hormone\\n- Water mister\\n- Plastic wrap or dome\\nTip\\n- Avoid wasting your rooting hormone by risking contamination. Instead of dipping cuttings into the open container of hormone, pour a little into a saucer and dip the cuttings into that supply. Throw away any rooting hormone that remains in the saucer when you are finished.\\nWarning\\n- Check out elaeagnus species before you plant, since some are invasive in different parts of the country.

No, not election to the presidency (yet). Recently the Minnesota House passed a bill that will allow voters to cast their ballot for an amendment to the state constitution to ban gay marriage in Minnesota. The legislation was first proposed by Bachmann as a state senator in 2003. It now stands as a major test for both social conservatives and gay rights activists in the debate over same-sex marriage.\\nFor decades, the state of Minnesota has defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The state supreme court has even upheld this traditional definition. But supporters of the proposed amendment say an explicit prohibition of same-sex marriage needs to be written into the constitution to prevent it from being imposed by either judges or lawmakers down the road.\\nPredictably, the bill has sparked a heated political confrontation. After a nearly six-hour debate, two DFL (Democrat) legislators voted for the bill and four Republicans voted against the bill, which will appear as a referendum on the November 2012 ballot. Though the bill passed 70-62, a May 13 Minneapolis Star Tribune poll asked people if they \"would favor or oppose\u2026 amending the Minnesota Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.\" Fifty-five percent answered \"oppose.\" Conservative Star Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten blames the outcome of the poll on the negative language; the actual ballot language uses more positive terms: \"Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota.\"\\nAlready, several groups like OutFront Minnesota and Minnesotans United For All Families are gearing up for an 18-month long campaign to ensure the Minnesotans vote \"no\" on the amendment. Local and national organizations are predicting millions of dollars will be spent to sway voters either way. Tom Pritchard of the Minnesota Family Council believes organizations like his will have to roll up their sleeves to guarantee the amendment passes, but he's optimistic it will.\\nWhile lawmakers hope for a civil debate among Minnesotans for the next several months, that might already be wishful thinking. Bradlee Dean, a local radio-show host and preacher who has made anti-gay comments in the past, opened the day before the vote's session in prayer in the house chamber and questioned President Obama's faith. That comment, coupled with his previous statements regarding gays, incited an immediate uproar. The speaker of the house, Kurt Zellers, expunged Dean's prayer from the record and released a statement apologizing for Dean's presence.\\nThough Bachmann has represented Minnesota in Congress since 2006, she didn't hesitate to show excitement over the bill's pending passage. Before it passed in the house, she Tweeted: \"As a MN state senator I introduced a constitutional marriage amendment; 8 years later it's finally coming up for a vote.\" Bachmann's involvement was no doubt critical in its initiation, but the passage of the bill is due largely to the new Republican majority in the legislature.\\nStill, not every Republican was on board. One of the two Republicans to break with his party and oppose the marriage bill was Rep. John Kriesel, an Iraq war veteran, young lawmaker, and family man. In his five-minute speech declaring why he would \"Press the hell no button, if there was one,\" Kriesel said equality took precedence over party. He told the story of a fellow veteran who died this year in Afghanistan and who was gay. He couldn't fathom telling this person's family their loved one was good enough to fight for his country but wasn't \"good enough to marry the person [he] loved.\" Stories like that are at the root of the gay marriage debate. No doubt they will abound as the vote draws near.\\nIndeed, the outcome of the vote could serve as a temperature gauge for the country's opinion on social issues. Though fiscal issues will probably trump debate over social ones next fall, the nation still remains divided on gay marriage. A recent Gallup poll found 53% -- the first time the majority of Americans -- support gay marriage. Yet 31 states (including California) have amendments to their constitution like the one Minnesotans will vote on next cycle. While legal in five states (including Iowa), gay marriage has never been approved by popular vote. (Or has been rejected by the voters everywhere it has been put on the ballot.)\\nTime will tell how Minnesotans feel about a constitutional amendment over such a controversial issue. For now, credit is due to Bachmann, but to especially the Republican (and few Democrat) legislators responsible for giving the people of Minnesota the chance to voice their opinion on the matter once and for all.","question":"Who introduced the bill to amend the Minnesota constitution to ban gay marriage?","answer":"Michele Bachmann introduced the bill to amend the Minnesota constitution to ban gay marriage."} {"context":"This season has dealt many surprises to Fantasy Basketball GMs. Let's check out some of the bad ones.\\nTag: Luka Doncic\\n7 Rookies to Target Before it\u2019s Too Late\\nDoc goes over 7 Rookies to target via trades or the waiver wire before they truly break out.

My name is Will and if you have questions\\nor would like to\\ncontribute projects or ideas you can contact me\\nWhen it comes to sword making there are a lot of important things to consider. And most important of them all is the steel.\\nThis is because there are a thousand different steels. And while they are all \"steel\". Only some are actually good for a sword.\\nIn this tutorial I explain to you some good guidelines and rules of thumb for steel and sword making.\\nAnd I make a sword using a low carbon steel much to disastrous results.\\nI also have a video at the bottom of the page.\\nWill has a youtube channel with over 700 videos on projects you can make. Check it out right here\\nSo, what exactly is Steel?\\nThere is a very simple answer. It is Iron that has carbon added to it during the smelting or forging process. The iron is heated and small amounts of carbon are added. These carbon atoms bind with the Iron atoms to form steel.\\nThat is simple enough to understand but it can get a bit more complicated. This is because you can add more and more carbon, binding more atoms. And as you add more carbon the properties of the steel change. It gets harder and harder and tougher and tougher. This is of course what makes steel so amazing - it's toughness and its hardness.\\nBut... the steel will get to the point where it no longer has flexibility - It can crack or shatter easily.\\nSo, there is definitely a range of steel that is suitable for sword making. And this range is typically called High carbon steel.\\nAround .6 percent carbon in the steel is about right for swords. That can vary a bit , let's say from .5 percent to as much as 1 percent carbon in the steel. This percentage change can depend on whether the steel has other elements included such as vanadium, manganese, or chromium. The percentage difference can also be manipulated and made usable for swords by a blacksmith or swordsmith during the heat treatment phase of making the sword.\\nCarbon Steel\\nThe type of steel we have been talking about is called Carbon steel because it has carbon added. And as a rule of thumb there are three categories of carbon steel: Low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.\\nLow carbon steel - ( also called Mild Steel) is not suitable for swords (In the video below I make a sword using low carbon steel). It is too soft and malleable. It will not hold it's shape well and it will not hold an edge well. Low carbon steel typically contains between 0.04% to 0.30% carbon. And it generally isn't heat treated. It doesn't harden well under heat treatment.\\nMedium carbon steel -\\nIt typically contains between 0.31% to 0.60% carbon. It also contains a small amount of manganese. Medium carbon steel is heat treatable but still too soft and malleable for sword making. Although when we get to abouit the .60% range we can have a very suitable sword.\\nHigh Carbon Steel - We are looking at the lower range of this for sword making. It ranges from .61% to 1.50 percent carbon and it is also known as tool steel. In th elower range it is excellent for sword blades and it can be heat treated very well. It retains good strength and can keep a good edge. But once we start going over 1% the steel is too hard and rigid for swords.\\nIn the video below I make a low carbon steel sword. Learn about it and watch what happens to the sword when we apply pressure to it.\\nThe video is here:\\nWould you consider a donation of $1 to support my work? Paypal makes it very easy and safe.

Considering I was commenting on the fact that you said, and I quote, \"Chrome doesn't offer any such thing... it's offered for use on Firefox\" your response to me means absolutely nothing. AdBlock Plus IS available for Chrome, even though you sit there and say it is not.\\nNow, would you like to respond to what I actually said to you, and not come up with some garbage about how it is junk, which has nothing to do with what I said to you?\\nSeptember 15, 2012 at 1:40 am\\nBoyd, Brian just doesn't understand. And his comment of \"if you have a problem with ads online then you shouldn't be online\" is a garbage argument. It's one where the person has absolutely nothing of relevance to say, so they say something that makes themselves feel better.\\nI'm all for no ads online. I don't need to see ads online. I will never see any ad online that will make me want to buy something. I know all I need to know by my own research. No ad will push me in one direction or another.\\nSeptember 15, 2012 at 1:47 am\\nAww, you're kinda touchy, aren't you?

I called you out about Adblock Plus being available for Chrome. Your response to me wasn't even close to mentioning anything about it being available for Chrome.\\nAgain, next time you want to tell someone that something is or is not a certain way, you should research before saying anything. Don't want to look like an idiot now, do you?\\nSeptember 15, 2012 at 2:01 am\\nOk, last time I try to explain this to you. I said NOTHING about ads. Not a thing. I mentioned one thing, that Adblock is available for Chrome, countering what you said, that it was NOT available for Chrome. When you responded to me, you didn't say, \"Yes, you were right\" or \"No, you're wrong,\" you started in about how it is junk. I never said anything about whether it was junk or not. I never said anything about if ads should be blocked or not. I just said, \"You're wrong, it is available on Chrome.\" Seriously, look back up, and see what I said, then look at what you said! You didn't say anything back to me about it being available, not until a few comments later!\\nWow man, I think I'm done with you. You really do NOT understand.\\nSeptember 15, 2012 at 2:08 am\\nYou need explain ANYTHING to me. I need not read back. You didn't need to specifically mention ads, you implied them by mentioning AB(P). I know I stated it's junk, because it is... and it's a valid factor in such a discussion as this.\\nThe fact remains... I DO understand.\\nSeptember 15, 2012 at 2:17 am\\nUnderstandable Boyd... and I thank you for having the respect to not only state but imply more specifically that it's time for this to end. However, there's technically no debate. I realize that advertising is simply part of life. It's everywhere. As far as online advertising, I know PLENTY about how it works and don't appreciate my true and factual knowledge, although stated in my own words, being disrespected (especially with harassment as a result).\\nI've not done nor said anything wrong... thus, it's not my responsibility to cease this nonsense. That is, despite the fact that I have PLENTY better (and more important) things to do.\\nSeptember 15, 2012 at 2:28 am\\nSo now you've harassed me again, Boyd.

For 60 years, biologists have documented population shifts and interactions between gray wolves and moose at Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. Much of the data is collected during winter, when scientists use planes to observe the wolves forming packs, battling over territory and killing moose, but the team is shut out of the park.\\nThe seven-week mission isn't dead yet, but prospects fade daily.\\nThe loss of a season's worth of data would be \"devastating,\" said Rolf Peterson of Michigan Technological University, the co-leader. \"Continuity is what's at the core of a lot of observational science, especially long-term projects. At some point, the loss of continuity degrades the integrity and value of the work itself. And there are things that don't come around a second time.\"\\nThe timing is particularly bad because the park recently began a multiyear effort to replenish its wolf population, which had fallen to two. Four were flown to Isle Royale from the mainland last fall \u2014 one later died \u2014 and researchers planned to relocate several others this winter. Peterson's group also wants to dart 20 moose and fit them with radio collars to gauge their reaction to the arriving wolves.\\n\"Both of these projects, while partially supported by other funds, require National Park Service personnel and facilities to operate,\" agency spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet said. \"Until there is an approved funding source to support those functions, both operations are suspended.\"\\nAlso at risk are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's aerial surveys of endangered Mexican gray wolves in Arizona and New Mexico, which usually happen in late January and early February.\\nA California mission to gather data on fish and study how climate change is affecting oceans, which began 70 years ago, also is in limbo. A research ship was reserved for this winter's operation, carried out by a federal, state and university partnership. But because it's owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the San Diego-based vessel is off-limits until the shutdown ends. No suitable replacement is available, said program director Brice Semmens.\\nData gaps from a lost mission would be harmful because \"the ocean is changing so rapidly now,\" he said. \"We need to understand how these changes are going to affect populations we care about, like shellfish or Dungeness crab.\"\\nThe shutdown also is taking a toll on the next generation of environmental researchers.\\nFederal scientists teach and monitor graduate students' projects at universities nationwide.

These scandals periodically emerge because in today\u2019s political landscape, elected officials use money designated for nonprofits to buy and keep political influence. Not surprisingly, then, they do everything they can to keep this money free from oversight.\\nNearly 15 years ago, the city\u2019s Financial Control Board identified the growing problem when it released a blistering report on the city\u2019s contracting of services from nonprofits. The report pointed out that New York was failing to keep accurate records of its dealings with these organizations and doing little to ensure that nonprofits receiving city dollars fulfilled their contractual obligations. In many cases, the city government awarded contracts without competitive bidding, and it rarely evaluated the nonprofits\u2019 performance.\\nIn the wake of the report, city agencies reformed some of their contracting practices. But City Council members managed to keep a big pot of money safe from the new, stricter contracting requirements. This money, reserved for so-called \u201cmember items\u201d (a euphemism in many cases for pork-barrel spending) and for so-called council \u201cinitiatives\u201d (discretionary spending that the speaker doles out), has been at the center of various funding controversies in the past.\\nThe underlying problem is the central role that nonprofits now play in politics, which has been shaped by the huge pots of money that government steers their way. Decades ago, nonprofits were known by their old-fashioned name: charities. They derived most of their income from private donations and based their agendas on the needs of those they wished to serve. Then the Johnson administration\u2019s War on Poverty, begun in the mid-1960s, turned the charities into government agents who would run programs designed to help the poor. The feds allocated billions of dollars to nonprofits through direct grants or via money funneled through state and local government agencies. In the process, the federal government paid nonprofits to do everything from running homeless shelters and rehabilitation programs for drug addicts to opening job training centers and designing and operating preschool programs. In just a few years, the money turned many charities into government contractors, reliant on public funding and serving an agenda set by Washington or local governments. The sudden availability of so much government money also prompted enterprising individuals to get into the public-contracting game and create new nonprofits of their own.\\nThe subsequent growth of the nonprofit sector has been considerable. In 1975, about 52,000 jobs in New York City were devoted to private social services. Today, though the city\u2019s population has increased only slightly since the mid-1970s, social-services jobs number more than 160,000, making them one of the fastest-growing sectors. Indeed, private social services now rival Wall Street as one of Gotham\u2019s biggest employers; three times as many people work in private social agencies as in publishing. But while these service jobs are counted as part of the private sector, they\u2019re financed almost entirely with government money. The industry continues to rely for its growth on expanding government budgets, fueled by tax collections.\\nFurther, many nonprofits have become political power bases, replacing the local political clubhouses of the 1960s. Executives and founders of nonprofits have used their agencies as launching pads for political careers, so that today a job in the nonprofit sector is as likely a route to the City Council or the state legislature as being a lawyer and member of a local political machine once was. And channeling money into nonprofit groups is a sure way for a legislator to win friends and influence people.\\nTo do that, of course, legislators have to be free to contribute to groups they favor\u2014and that means ensuring that taxpayers\u2019 money is not subject to rigorous bidding procedures, which might exclude the favored groups. Three years ago, for instance, councilwoman Margarita Lopez sparked controversy when she gave hundreds of thousands of her member-item dollars to a detoxification program for 9\/11 workers that was run by Scientologists and that, experts claimed, had no basis in legitimate science. Lopez had made the grants using council funds that carried no requirement for competitive bidding or evaluation of program effectiveness. Eventually, members of the church made more than $100,000 in donations to her campaign for Manhattan borough president.\\nWhen oversight is so thin, bad things can happen to taxpayers\u2019 money. In the latest scandals, two council staffers face indictments for allegedly embezzling money channeled into a nonprofit that one of them created and controlled. New Yorkers have also learned that for at least seven years, City Council staffers have created phony nonprofit groups and allocated money to them as a way of parking cash that could be dispensed later.\\nBecause of the powerful role that nonprofits now play in the political process, council members are resisting new efforts to regulate their discretionary giving. They\u2019ve opposed Mayor Bloomberg\u2019s call to move all but the very smallest council grants\u2014those of $10,000 or less\u2014into the city\u2019s competitive-bidding process. Council members claim that ceding that control to the mayor threatens their \u201cindependence.\u201d Experience tells us, however, that allowing the council to continue its broad discretionary use of public money threatens something else\u2014the fiscal integrity of New York\u2019s budget process. Taxpayers deserve better.","question":"What was the controversy involving councilwoman Margarita Lopez?","answer":"The controversy involving councilwoman Margarita Lopez was sparked when she gave hundreds of thousands of her member-item dollars to a detoxification program for 9\/11 workers that was run by Scientologists and that, experts claimed, had no basis in legitimate science.

He remembers finding toads the size of dinner plates in and\\namong the sword ferns and goat\u2019s beard in the garden of his childhood home. Well, maybe saucers. Great warty beasts that Papa always encouraged because of the damage they inflicted on his garden archenemy, the common slug. Those toads, however, did nothing to help in his constant battle with his other garden enemy, the neighbor\u2019s cat.\\nNow the cane or marine toad is another story. This six inch long toad, native to the Rio Grand south, was introduced to Florida after several tries where they have become, well, pests, famous for their gustatorial habitat of cleaning up Fido\u2019s and Kitty\u2019s uneaten pet food. Cane toads are voracious omnivores. Although they aren\u2019t big enough to eat a cat, they have the where-with-all to kill one. Like many amphibians, their skins are toxic, toxic enough to kill a curious dog or cat. The toxin is produced by their parotid glands, the large warts back of both eyes. After handling a cane toad, be sure to wash your hands. Fortunately for the State of Jefferson, cane toads are sensitive to cold, which makes their presence on Wizard Island unlikely, the specter of global warming not withstanding.\\nBut back to Bufo boreas. Toads on Wizard Island were unexpected. How did they get there? What do they eat? Insects and other Arthropods? Slugs? Many questions. They probably over winter by crawling down in the spaces between the large clunky chunks of lava rock that makes going anywhere on Wizard Island, except on trails, difficult.\\nNature Notes knows from childhood experience that handling toads can be a hazard, for the handler and the toad. Handler gets peed upon when an overexcited toad looses a precious supply of fluid laced with toxins manufactured by glands in their bladder similar to those in its paratoid glands. In a relatively dry environment, toad has a rehydration problem. The handler just gets wet, unless he licks his fingers.\\nContrary to popular belief, handling toads will not give you warts, peed upon or not. Warts are cause by viruses not present in toads. While Googling around for this piece, Nature Notes was surprised to learn that a duct tape bandage on a wart causes it to disappear. Better than silk threads and stump water, he bets. And finally, Nature Notes wonders what might happen if a truly desperate princess kissed a Wizard Island toad.\\n\u2014 Dr. Frank Lang","question":"What is the potential danger of handling a cane toad?","answer":"The skins of cane toads are toxic, toxic enough to kill a curious dog or cat.

I would love to to be able to not buy any books until my goal is reached but that isn\u2019t really realistic for me.\\n- Read more. Basically I want to read more books this year than I have in the past. I tend to average 50-60 books per year. Last year my goal was 75 but I only ended up reading 54.

So, my goal for plotting is to do at least two chapters per week. However, if my writing is faster than my plotting I will do more.\\n- Editing: in the past I have completely stopped writing in order to edit. That book was never finished. So, this is more of a limitation than a goal. I am allowing myself one day a month to dedicate to editing.

However, in corporate responsibility terms, a good chunk of the story belongs to Ryder, a U.S. truck company with deep roots and a broad reach.\\nRyder is partnering with Nikola for nationwide distribution and maintenance of the new Nikola One truck. The new relationship provides a good demonstration of how older, legacy companies can turbo-boost their way into the low-carbon business model of the future by seeking out opportunities to adopt new technologies.\\nThe company issued its first sustainability report in 2009, and in 2011 it signed on to the Obama administration's Clean Fleets pollution initiative.\\nRyders's carbon-reducing efforts include an emphasis on fuel efficiency and compressed natural gas. Both of those angles can result in strong progress within a relatively short period of time in terms of reducing tailpipe emissions. However, both of them continue dependency on fossil fuels. That leaves Ryder exposed to supply chain issues, like those recently underscored by the Dakota Access pipeline protests and the earthquake swarms in Oklahoma.\\nIn that context, the Nikola partnership represents a real game-changer for Ryder.\\nNikola One is an all-electric drive vehicle powered by a lithium-ion battery pack via a fuel cell, for a range of up to 1,200 miles per fill-up. In addition to ditching diesel fuel, the electric drive provides an almost noiseless ride and delivers far more torque, all with a weight savings of 2,000 pounds on the chassis.\\nAside from contributing to fuel efficiency, the vehicle's regenerative braking system also enables faster stopping. That's an important safety improvement over conventional brakes.\\nAnother important safety feature is the truck's lower center of gravity, a direct result of removing the diesel engine, transmission and emissions equipment and replacing them with batteries, electric motors and a fuel cell.\\n.\"\\nThough Nikola is clear on its intent to build solar farms for renewable hydrogen, the future could also bring other forms of renewable energy for water-splitting into play, such as wind power or tidal power. Renewable hydrogen can also be sourced from biomass.\\nAuto manufacturers face a chicken-and-egg dilemma regarding hydrogen fuel cell EVs. Few people want to buy them, partly because there are very few places to fuel them up. Meanwhile, hydrogen fuel stations are not being built because practically nobody is driving a fuel cell vehicle.\\nAs part of its launch, Nikola released plans to build 364 hydrogen fuel stations around the U.S. and Canada in an initial round of construction, with \"many more to come,\" the company said. The Nikola One truck lease package includes free hydrogen for the first million miles of operation. All 364 stations would also be available to the general public.\\nThat's a colossal leap forward for hydrogen fuel stations in the U.S. The Energy Department has been working in California and three Northeastern states to kickstart the hydrogen fuel infrastructure through the public-private H2USA partnership. So far only a handful of fueling stations are open to the public, and only a few dozen are in the planning stages.\\nNikola anticipates that it will begin building fuel stations in 2018. If and when these 364-and-counting fuel stations come about, Ryder can take partial credit for unblocking the hydrogen bottleneck and helping the U.S. to accelerate its transition out of fossil fuels.\\nThe bottom line is that fleet owners are already lined up to place their orders for Nikola One. Nikola says it has received reservations for almost $3 billion in future orders. The company expects trucks to start rolling off the assembly line in 2020.\\nThe plan is for the experienced truck builder Fitzgerald Glider Kits to assemble the first 5,000 vehicles according to Nikola's specs, with all-Nikola parts.\\nAs for where that assembly line might be, Nikola is not saying yet, but the company has ambitious plans for that as well:\\n.\"\\nImage: via Nikola Motor Company.","question":"What is the significant contribution of the partnership between Ryder and Nikola Motor Co. to the future of low-carbon business models?","answer":"The partnership between Ryder and Nikola Motor Co. is significant as it allows Ryder to adopt new technologies and transition into a low-carbon business model.

\\nAs the social media giant prepares for its upcoming initial public offering, here are seven ways Facebook just might be good for you.\\nSpending time on Facebook can help people relax, slow down their heart rate and decrease stress levels, according to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Milan.

\\nIn a study published earlier this year<\/a>, researchers studied 30 students and found that a natural high was sparked when they were on the social media network that led to the relaxed heart rates and lower levels of stress and tension.

\\nIn the study, the students were monitored in three situations: looking at panoramic landscapes, performing complicated mathematical equations and using Facebook. While the first situation was the most relaxing to students and the math problems were the most stressful, the time on Facebook uncovered high levels of attractiveness and arousal.

\\nThe findings support the researchers' hypothesis that Facebook's success, as well as that of other social media networks, correlates to the specific positive mental and physical state users experience.\\nWith a number of businesses already using Facebook research to rule out potential employees during key hiring situations, studies show they may soon be using it to determine who the best candidates are.

\\nA study by researchers at Northern Illinois University revealed that impressions from time spent perusing a candidate's Facebook page was a stronger predictor of their likelihood to excel in a job than the personality and IQ surveys many companies require potential employees to complete.

\\nLead researcher Don Kluemper said the study consisted of asking \"raters\" to evaluate job candidates based on both Facebook pages and personality tests.

\\n\"Our raters could look at the tone of a subject\u2019s wall post, note the number of friends they have, peruse their photos to see how social they were and assess their tastes in books and music,\" Kluemper told NIU Today in February<\/a>. \"We were able to conclude that after a five-minute perusal of a Facebook page, raters were able to answer questions regarding the subject about as reliably as would be expected of a significant other or close friend.\"

\\nWhen the researchers asked the candidates' current employers to evaluate them six months later, they found the initial Facebook evaluations were a more accurate predictor of success than other tools like personality and IQ tests.\\nSpending time on the social networking giant also makes people feel good about themselves, according to research.

\\nA study conducted by researchers at Cornell University was the first to show a psychological benefit to using Facebook, revealing that people get a self-esteem boost just by looking at their Facebook wall.

\\nResearcher Jeffrey Hancock said the results are most likely the effect of Facebook users being able to put their best image forward by choosing what they reveal about themselves. In addition, the positive feedback friends and family bring to a Facebook wall also contributes to the self-esteem boost.

\\n\"Unlike a mirror, which reminds us of who we really are and may have a negative effect on self-esteem if that image does not match with our ideal, Facebook can show a positive version of ourselves,\" Hancock told the Cornell Chronicle<\/a>. \"We're not saying that it's a deceptive version of self, but it's a positive one.\"

\\nHancock said the study was one of the first to show a psychological benefit to using Facebook.\\nFacebook isn't just good for your physical and mental health. It also can be good for your investments.

\\nA study last year by Pace University researchers found that the more popular a company was on Facebook, the better its stock price<\/a> seemed to be.

\\n\"The study suggests a relationship between the popularity or greater numbers of people thinking and posting comments or sharing experiences about brands and the economic performance of the brand,\" said Pace University researcher Arthur O'Connor. \"If everyone is thinking about and talking about your brand, that may mean something in terms of your stock price or corporate performance.\"

\\nO'Connor said the results create the potential for new applications of social media popularity metrics as economic indicators.\\nWhile many may argue that social media networks only distract employees, research shows the opposite may be true.

\\nResearch from Keas.com found that a 10-minute Facebook break makes employees happier<\/a>, healthier and more productive.

\\nThe study examined workers in.

\\n.\\nFacebook may help students get the college degree they've been seeking.

\\nConducted by researchers at Abilene Christian University, a study found that students who were active on Facebook were less likely to drop out of school<\/a> than those who don't use the social network.

\\nThe research examined nearly 400 first- and second-year college students. Most of the students that returned for their second year were significantly more active on Facebook than the ones who did not.

\\nThe study also revealed that students who are active Facebook users show more enthusiasm for their college environment.\\nFacebook is also in the business of matchmaking.

\\nResearch shows that nearly 60 percent of singles will friend someone new on Facebook after meeting them in person. If they like what they see, 25 percent are likely to contact their new love interest via Facebook<\/a>.

\\nOnce the courting is over, nearly 40 percent of those social networking adults will update their relationship status on Facebook, with just 24 percent telling their friends first.

\\nFacebook use between couples will continue through the dating process, the research shows. Throughout the day, 79 percent of couples said they send partners Facebook messages or chat on the social network. In addition, more than 60 percent would post romantic messages on their significant other\u2019s Facebook wall.

\\nWhen the relationship ends, more than half of those surveyed immediately update their status to single, which automatically sends out a notification to their friend list to start the dating cycle over again.>

Frontrunners include Mason, Oakley and The Banks development on Cincinnati's riverfront. GE hopes to break ground this summer.\\nCincinnati Mayor John Cranley hailed the announcement as \"awesome news for our region,\" but declined to confirm that The Banks and Oakley are frontrunners. Cranley, a Democrat, credited Republican Gov.

Joseph Fuqua II\/The Enquirer\\n\"My first choice is anywhere in the city of Cincinnati,\" Cranley said of the location for the new offices. \"I don't play favorites inside the city. I've told them we will help them if they go to The Banks, Oakley, Price Hill, wherever.\"\\nStill, Cranley noted: \"Everyone recognizes that the city has been greatly revitalized in recent years with a 24\/7 Downtown, and I believe that is attractive to a lot of people.\"\\nCity officials have been working on the deal for the past month. Tax incentives for the move have been discussed \"hypothetically,\" Cranley said, with nothing put in writing yet. He declined to give details.\\nGE officials said the company's strong ties to Ohio and especially to Greater Cincinnati played a big role in the decision to locate here and gave the region an edge in the competition with other states, including Texas, for the new shared services center.\\n\"Ohio was the most attractive,\" said Joe Allen, general manager of GE's U.S. operations center. \"The relationship with the state, and the talent we've had from our employee base, is a big benefit.\"\\nAllen confirmed Mason, The Banks and Oakley all are \"in the running\" for the center and said a choice will be made within 90 days. Until the new office is complete in 2017, up to 650 GE employees will move into temporary quarters in the Atrium buildings on Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati.\\nMost of the new employees will relocate from elsewhere in the United States, but about 300 new jobs also will be created, Allen said. Most will work in human resources, accounting, information technology, procurement and other \"back of the business\" support operations.\\nAllen said cost, parking and the attractiveness of the development all would be part of the decision on where to locate the new center. Once built, the center could house as many as 2,000 employees, he said.\\nJobsOhio, Kasich's privatized economic development group, helped recruit the GE hub to Southwest Ohio over several other locations around the U.S., Minor said. GE already has 15,000 employees in Ohio -- more than in any other state -- with the largest concentration of those employees in Southwest Ohio. GE Aviation, for instance, has thousands of employees in Evendale and other locations throughout the region.\\n\"The company knows the Greater Cincinnati area is an excellent place to be because of its long-time, successful GE Aviation operation and we're thrilled with the confidence this move shows in the people of Ohio,\" Kasich said in a statement. \"It's great to see more jobs created by JobsOhio's efforts.\"\\nGE is seeking as much as 400,000 square feet of office space for the expansion here, sources said.\\nCompetition among the possible sites for the new GE office will likely be fierce. A project involving so many jobs would be a boon to any of the communities on the list.\\n\"GE jobs are incredibly sought after. They are higher-paying jobs and better for the economy,\" Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann said Wednesday.\\nThe Banks project has been looking for a signature corporate tenant for years and could anchor the next phase of the project to a new office building.\\nOakley is home to several new economic development projects, most notably Oakley Station, which includes a Kroger, a movie theater, about 300 apartments and other stores. Mason, in Warren County, has been one of the region's fastest-growing suburbs for two decades and already is home to many corporate offices.\\nThe company may move some employees to downtown Cincinnati early next year while it waits for its new offices to be built at the new location, sources said.\\nGE is based in Fairfield, Conn., and is one of the world's largest companies, with more than 300,000 employees and sales of more than $147 billion.\\n\"GE knows that our region is an ideal place to live and work, and\\nwe're excited to again be part of its plans for the future,\" said Matt Davis, interim executive director of Regional Economic Development Initiative Cincinnati.\\nThe company produces aircraft engines, household appliances and high-tech equipment for power generation, water processing and medical imaging.

Others have faced the lost opportunities and life-long stigma that follows them with a criminal record.\\nAccording to the FBI\u2019s Uniform Crime Report, police made 659,700 arrests for marijuana-related violations in 2017 alone \u2014 that\u2019s more than 21 percent higher than the total number of arrests for violent crimes in the same year.\\nOur outdated marijuana laws also target communities of color. The racial disparity in marijuana-related arrests, despite similar usage across demographics, is just one indication of the systemic inequalities that we must address.\\nIn a day and age when more than twenty percent of the population live in states which have legalized the marijuana market, and in an era where nearly every state has enacted some legal protections for the use of medical cannabis or its extracts, the time has come for federal lawmakers to end this senseless and cruel prohibition that ruins lives.\\nMedical Reforms\\nWe are calling for common sense reforms that are long overdue. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests the medicinal benefits of cannabis, including its ability to prevent epileptic seizures, mitigate pain, reduce anxiety, and even halt the growth of cancer cells. However, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Congress still erroneously classify marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, ignoring the fact that 33 states, including my home state of Hawai\u2018i, have already accepted the medical use of marijuana under state law. It is simply ludicrous to argue that marijuana belongs in the same category as heroin, or that it is more dangerous than cocaine.\\nStates that have legalized the use of medical marijuana have seen lower rates of opioid abuse and mortality, and that it does not negatively impact workplace safety, teen use, or motor vehicle safety. As the opioid epidemic continues to ravage communities across the country like mine in Hawai\u2018i, we must explore all alternatives to save lives.\\nJob Creation\\nJust this week, a new report found that there are over 211,000 full-time jobs in the legal cannabis sector. This total increases to 296,000 jobs when supplementary employees are included.\\nThe contradiction between state and federal laws on marijuana has created a serious problem for small businesses and stunted further economic growth. Federal law discourages banks and credit unions from offering any type of financial services to businesses or individuals whose financial transactions have anything to do with marijuana. In the states that have recognized dispensary owners and their employees, these businesses are still unable to open a bank account or get a loan.\\nWe must pass The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act to ensure that marijuana consumers and state-licensed marijuana businesses are protected from undue federal interference. It will help reduce the strain on our criminal justice system, amend federal law to agree with cannabis\u2019 changing cultural status, recognize the plant\u2019s therapeutic benefits, and reduce contradictions and confusion between federal and state marijuana laws.\\nPlease join me in urging your lawmakers to support this effort.\\nThank you for your unwavering dedication to this issue and for strengthening our democracy through your participation.\\nMahalo,\\nTulsi","question":"What was the purpose of the bipartisan bill introduced by Tulsi Gabbard in 2017?","answer":"The purpose of the bipartisan bill introduced by Tulsi Gabbard in 2017 was to end the federal prohibition of marijuana by removing it from the Controlled Substances Act."} {"context":"Abstract\\nThe gastrointestinal tract presents a formidable barrier for pathogens to initiate infection. Despite this barrier, enteroviruses, including coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), successfully penetrate the intestine to initiate infection and spread systemically prior to shedding in stool. However, the effect of the gastrointestinal barrier on CVB3 population dynamics is relatively unexplored, and the selective pressures acting on CVB3 in the intestine are not well characterized. To examine viral population dynamics in orally infected mice, we produced over 100 CVB3 clones harboring nine unique nucleotide \u201cbarcodes.\u201d Using this collection of barcoded viruses, we found diverse viral populations throughout each mouse within the first day postinfection, but by 48 h the viral populations were dominated by fewer than three barcoded viruses in intestinal and extraintestinal tissues. Using light-sensitive viruses to track replication status, we found that diverse viruses had replicated prior to loss of diversity. Sequencing whole viral genomes from samples later in infection did not reveal detectable viral adaptations. Surprisingly, orally inoculated CVB3 was detectable in pancreas and liver as soon as 20 min postinoc-ulation, indicating rapid systemic dissemination. These results suggest rapid dissemination of diverse viral populations, followed by a major restriction in population diversity and monopolization in all examined tissues. These results underscore a complex dynamic between dissemination and clearance for an enteric virus. IMPORTANCE Enteric viruses initiate infection in the gastrointestinal tract but can disseminate to systemic sites. However, the dynamics of viral dissemination are unclear. In this study, we created a library of 135 barcoded coxsackieviruses to examine viral population diversity across time and space following oral inoculation of mice. Overall, we found that the broad population of viruses disseminates early, followed by monopolization of mouse tissues with three or fewer pool members at later time points. Interestingly, we detected virus in systemic tissues such as pancreas and liver just 20 min after oral inoculation. These results suggest rapid dissemination of diverse viral populations, followed by a major restriction in population diversity and monopolization in all examined tissues.\\nKeywords\\n- Coxsackievirus\\n- Dissemination\\n- Evolution\\n- Viral pathogenesis\\n- Viral population dynamics\\nASJC Scopus subject areas\\n- Microbiology\\n- Immunology\\n- Insect Science\\n- Virology","question":"What does the study suggest about the dynamics of viral dissemination in the case of enteric viruses like CVB3?","answer":"The study suggests that the broad population of viruses disseminates early, followed by monopolization of mouse tissues with three or fewer pool members at later time points.

I've not read the book but now I want to! It's got pretty much an all-star cast, and Reese Witherspoon is particularly amazing. It's even got the guy from Revenge in it which I did not see coming?!

The show is based on the book #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso (i.e. Nasty Gal Vintage) and the brilliant Britt Robertston plays Sophia who is all the cool I wish I was but at the same time love to hate because she's pretty mean. The fashion is in-cred-ible, and now I'm seriously thinking about whether or not I want to get a fringe and channel the look that 5-year old me rocked in the 90s.

Lindsey Kelk is one of my favourite writers, because I find her books so uplifting and happy, even when things are rubbish. Pretty much the entirety of the 'I Heart' series were my comfort blanket when I was travelling around the States, and you can definitely count on her for a good girly read. So far, this is no exception and I am thoroughly enjoying what's happening, as well as the classic Friends reference in the title. It's about a couple called Liv and Adam who are basically meant to be getting married but EVERYTHING is preventing them because they don't know how each other are feeling and aren't speaking properly.

At this point, I genuinely have no ideas as to who it'll be, but if this fan theory about AD being Aria is true, I will not be happy. #ezriaforever\\nLittle Thoughts Blog\\nI came across this wonderful blog fairly recently, and it's so bloomin' refreshing to see people talk about mental health in such a welcome, open light. I know there's a growing MH community online, which is amazing and one day I hope to be part of it, but Hannah's blog is so inspiring to read. She runs a Twitter chat called #talkMH and I need to get involved ASAP because it's so nice to be able to speak to people who just get it without a lot of explanation! Anyways, check out her blog at - it's really useful particularly if you don't know a lot about some or all of mental health conditions and want to know more!

The only missing thing is to integrate them better with record declaration syntax. Having to rely on TH and then write a makeLenses splice is just too much friction to have lenses added everywhere automatically. TH makes compiles more fragile and slower, and worst of all introduces a declaration order constraint in the source file. So I declare by hand, but even at one line per lens, it's still too much friction, because after all they don't start saving you lines until you want to update a nested field. In addition, I can't use unqualified names because I would want to import only the record lenses unqualified, not the rest of the module. So I'd have to move all the data types into individual modules, because giant long import lists is definitely way too much friction. But the separate module is no good, because that in turns doesn't let you preserve invariants by restricting exports. So if I were doing the GSoC thing, here's what I would do: 1 - Add an option to add a 'deriving (Lens)' to record declarations. That makes the record declare lenses instead of functions. That's already most of the problem solved, for me, because it removes the TH friction. 2 - The next step is to allow 'deriving (ClassyLens)', which declares lenses plus the typeclasses to allow shared names. Then when you write 'import M (Record(..))', the (..) will import the stuff generated by 'deriving (ClassyLens)', i.e. the class methods. Now you can drop the record name prefixing and import unqualified to drop the module name qualification as well. It's still not ideal because you would have to add the unqualified 'import M (Record(..))', but is better than having to write out the list of fields every single time. And actually I'm not sure I could use even that, because record field names are usually the same as what you want to name the variable, e.g.: \"name = parent.name .^ person\". A hardcoded record field thing like SORF has the edge here because you can write \"name = person.parent.name\" without 'name' clashing. But in every other respect, lenses fit much better into the rest of the language and are much more powerful for much less (i.e. none!) ad-hoc language level complexity to support them, so to me they clearly win at power to weight ratio. But I don't mind always qualifying, e.g. 'name = Person.parent . Person.name .^ person' and avoiding the whole classes and unqualified import hassle, so just step 1 is basically problem solved (in fact, this is what I already do, just without the automatic lens generation). Alas, not everyone shares my attitude towards qualification. In fact, I'm probably in a small minority (hi Henning!). Which is sad, because just doing #1 would be so easy! Maybe I should just go do it myself, it's not like it would conflict with any of the other proposed extensions.","question":"What are the two steps proposed to solve the record problem with lenses in programming?","answer":"The two steps proposed are: 1 - Add an option to add a 'deriving (Lens)' to record declarations, which makes the record declare lenses instead of functions, removing the Template Haskell friction. 2 - The next step is to allow 'deriving (ClassyLens)', which declares lenses plus the typeclasses to allow shared names.

While Ukraine is embroiled in a revolution, CEE finds itself in a state that can be hardly described as anything else other than its own devolution.\\nCentral and Eastern European countries have in the recent weeks and months done their best to demonstrate why democracy should not be taken for granted. Perhaps more so than other cases, Hungary sticks out as a sore thumb. The latest changes to the Hungarian constitution as envisaged by the current Orban government have been heavily criticised by the European Council and European Parliament (see report here), mainly concerning the limiting of judiciary independence, religious discrimination of churches not recognised by the state, and the government party making it extremely difficult for opposition parties to gain access to the media. One might add that in a system which is consistently searching for enemies, both from within and out, any criticism coming from the European and other institutions is not well received. And thanks to the rhetoric of the Prime Minister and his party it further feeds anti-EU sentiment.\\nWhile Hungary has been busy falling out of love with the EU, our fellow European citizens in the Czech Republic have finally put forth a legitimate reason as to why it is that the country is so attractive for Hollywood film makers.

Luckily for the Czech Republic, the early elections which were held in late October have given birth to a coalition which is in the process of making a legitimate cabinet that will soon take over. But even the election itself was not scandal-free. However, the Social Democrats who won the poll fell short of expectations, sparking a rebellion from within its own ranks and almost resulted in the party splitting itself in half. It has been alleged, to no one\u2019s surprise, that the rebellion was inspired \u2013 if not directly orchestrated \u2013 by the power grabbing president Zeman who has proved that he is not shy of going beyond his competences and mandate.\\nAnd if that wasn\u2019t bad enough for the region, neighbouring Slovakia has pulled off a stunt which is unprecedented in the country\u2019s modern history. In late November, one of the country\u2019s regions shamefully elected a far-right candidate to its highest office. A political apathy and simple packaging of complex issues (aka populism) has resulted in a situation that is a painful reminder of what is at stake if we ignore the next year\u2019s European Elections.\\nMoving on to the Balkans, and in case you thought that democracy is by no means a tyranny of the majority, the Croats and their referendum on the definition of marriage as a marriage between one man and one woman will make you think again. We have reached a stage when fundamental rights are being decided by a majority vote and under the principle that being loud also means being right. Better still, stretching the definition of democracy even further, the Romanian MPs have recently passed a legislation in which they\u2019ve put themselves outside the remit of the law as far as corruption is concerned. In other words, political corruption for Romanian MPs has been, with a stroke of a pen, decriminalised. Problem solved. And it would appear that the same attitude of denial has been accepted as their own by MPs in neighbouring Bulgaria where people have been staging protests for months on end in their effort to rid themselves of corrupt politicians.\\nAnti-democratic forces have been recurring all across Europe. Rolling back our democratic principles is by no means a phenomenon restricted only to the CEE countries. We have now witnessed, for example, the rise of the extreme right both in Spain and Greece which is to some extent a result of the devastating economic policies pursued in this part of Europe. Democracy, as it appears, is a very fragile concept, and of all the principles that we in Europe hold so dear, democracy in particular should not be taken for granted. Anti-democratic elements such as extremism are creeping into our systems and minds with only the most cursory glances from most observers. It is our responsibility to not only report on these developments but equally to address these issues head on. The very least we can do is to turn up and vote at the upcoming European elections earlier next year. Let us restore reason into our public sphere because as we know, and to paraphrase Edmund Burke, evil triumphs when good men and women do nothing.\\nJoin our mailing list to receive the latest insights from EuropeanPublicAffairs.","question":"What changes have been criticized in the Hungarian constitution by the European Council and European Parliament?","answer":"The latest changes to the Hungarian constitution that have been criticized by the European Council and European Parliament include the limiting of judiciary independence, religious discrimination of churches not recognised by the state, and the government party making it extremely difficult for opposition parties to gain access to the media."} {"context":"00 + Click Les than 3 weeks for Marine 17 July 13, 2017 Under 3 weeks to go before the who\u2019s who of the Australian Marine Industry gather together, at the newly developed ICC Sydney, for 3 days of inspiration, collaboration & networking.\u2026 Read More + 00 10th Annual Bellingham Calendar Photo Contest June 29, 2017 Bellingham Marine, worldwide marina design-build construction company, has announced that they are now accepting entries for their 10th annual photo calendar contest.

And during the first three months of the year its $1.1 billion in repurchases cost the company $217 a share.\\nWith that in mind, the second three months of 2014 were tough from a stock standpoint for Visa. As shown below, Visa traded below what it paid for its stock every day during the first three months of the year:\\nAs a matter of fact, half of those days witnessed the stock being traded for less than $208 per share.\\nSo having said all that, it will be interesting to see exactly what Visa thought of its own shares. Did it boost its repurchases as its stock fell? Or did it lower its own valuation?\\nThere is the possibility it simply executed the same amount regardless of the price, but it will be worthwhile to take note of what it thinks of its own stock.\\nWhat exactly is it investing in?\\nWhen discussing the first three months of the year, one of the most interesting remarks from the CEO of Visa, Charlie Scharf, came when he said Visa continues \"to make substantial investments in products and services that will drive our future growth.\"\\nAnd just last week there was the announcement of Visa Checkout, what it describes as \"a quick and easy payment service that enables consumers throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia to pay for goods online, on any device, in just a few clicks.\"\\nIn short, it replaces V.Me by allowing individuals registering their credit or debit cards and their shipping information under a single username and password, and check out across a variety of sites.\\nEarlier this month I wondered exactly what Visa was doing with V.Me, and just a few days later we learned the answer.\\nMany have suggested the payment industry is poised for rapid change, and Visa Checkout appears to be one very good way to do this. But instead of saying the company is making \"substantial investments,\" in these areas, it would be fascinating to know not only what it is doing, but how well these innovations are succeeding.\\nCan the growth continue?\\nMany people assume since Visa is such a big name, its days of massive growth are behind it. Yet as shown in the chart below, the growth of its total volume of transactions on a constant dollar basis -- excluding inflation -- has only continued to rise over the last year:\\nSource: Company Investor Relations.\\nWith that in mind, it will be important to see how this growth -- and the corresponding impact to its bottom line -- is progressing. Since Visa is such a common product and a household name -- not to mention it facilitated $7.1 trillion in transactions over the last 12 months -- many have thought its days of impressive growth are well behind it.\\nBut if its volume continues to grow faster and faster on both a dollar and percentage basis, then it could mean its future growth runway is even longer than any of us imagined.\\nThere is a lot to like about Visa and the prospect of its future if it thinks highly of its own stock, continues to innovate, and exhibits impressive growth, and these are the three things I'll be watching when it announces earnings this week.\\nYour credit card may soon be completely worthless\\nThere is one thing that could scare Visa in the future. And that's the reality the plastic in your wallet is about to go the way of the typewriter, the VCR, and the 8-track tape player..","question":"What are the three things investors need to keep an eye on when Visa announces its earnings?","answer":"The three things investors need to keep an eye on when Visa announces its earnings are what Visa thinks of its own stock, what exactly it is investing in, and if its growth can continue."} {"context":"- $468 shopbop.comSimilar itemA single breasted J Brand blazer with a slim peaked lapel. 3 welt front pockets.

If we do those things, we will have surrendered our chance to participate in forming the future...

I just picked it up again, having felt a distinct lack of courage lately, for creating included. I'm usually the Pollyanna of prickly situations. I can usually figure out a way to see how \"bad things\" can have \"good\" consequences, and vice versa. Like the zen parable of the farmer and his son: Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows? Sometimes it's more of a challenge. It's felt like we've all been traveling on the dark side of the moon these days. Luckily a couple of more experienced artist friends gave me a good wake up shout. \"It's time to get to work,\" they said. \"This is what artists were made for.\"\\nI started by looking at art from other times of flux in our history. Especially appealing were wartime posters, and of those especially the ones calling women to work. And this one in particular by artist Adolph Treidler for the United War Work Campaign and the YWCA in 1918:\\nNot just because of her rocking overalls with the ample pockets for doing things that take serious tools, but her posture of steely determination, victory, and with one foot forward as if to say, \"I'm moving on ahead, no matter what is happening.\"\\nAs usual, I let these things sink in to my subconscious while I occupy my mind with something else, like the incessant cleaning of my work space. Then I get cozy somewhere and let my hands do the thinking. I try to keep my thoughts out of it and see what comes.\\nThe star came in conversation with the former blue \"Y\" triangle, and the year appeared unexpectedly. The heroine arose with more of an expression of hope and joy than I anticipated. Which was encouraging-- to find out I had some of that still somewhere inside.\\nI've been watercolouring directly onto my original sketches in my brown paper sketchbook, and I did that here too. First, the figure, then I scanned her into photoshop to work out a background palette, then went back to water media to finish the it by hand from my tiny mobile studio box that I've been working out of in the zen center cabin. (I'm getting used to this downsizing.)\\nScanned in again to take out some of the paper buckling shadows via stamp tool. I adjusted the lettering a bit, but not too much. I'm not after slick graphics anymore. Showing the hand-done-ness of things is important.\\nI worked on her in between traveling and my zen duties for three weeks. During the process I came to the idea that our work as artists now isn't to convince the public that we are a crucial part of any society, but instead reminding each other that we are a crucial part of every society; to the strengthen the conviction we need to do the work in a world chilly to our efforts.\\nCourage 2017 is the new print this week in the Polly Sonic Etsy shop.

With Grendel's cancer and death, the question became more acute.\\nMy trio, Grendel, Rhiannon, and Maebh, have been such an intimate part of my daily existence for 10 years (or 9\u00bd considering that Maebh came six months after I adopted Rhiannon) that I could never imagine any other pet situation than them. I figured at first that I would wait until all had died before I reconsidered a new cat (or cats). Then, after Grendel died, I figured I would wait a few months at least.\\nBut like the serendipity of adopting Grendel, it seems that destiny took a hand.\\nI adopted Grendel from PAWS Cat City in Seattle in 2006. I went to their website to look for information about sponsoring a cat kennel in Grendel's honor. While there, I looked at the adoptable cats (as one must). There I saw a familiar-ish face. One of the cats was a 2 year old cow cat name Onyx, Jr. The face was vaguely Grendeloid, as if he were a son or younger brother. I was intrigued, even if I wasn't ready.\\nI wanted to stick with my idea of waiting at least a few months (or not adopting at all). I thought the girls might bond better if there were just the two. I wondered too if my career as a standard-issue bipedal humanoid cat-minder unit was on the wane and I should just let it run out. (But then I'd have to rename my blog I Lived with Cats.)\\nI halfheartedly decided to go down to Seattle on Saturday and take a look at Onyx, Jr. He sounded nice from the description on the website and I wanted to see him, even though I figured he may not even be there when I came.\\nAfter mass on Saturday, I stopped by for a bite of breakfast at Alexa's Cafe in Bothell, WA. The shelter didn't open until 11:00 and I had time to kill. While there, a friend of mine from the parish showed up unexpectedly and we ate breakfast together. She commented on Grendel's death and mentioned her own cats. I didn't know she was a cat person until then. I told her about my intentions and misgivings about adopting again so soon. She provided just enough encouragement to get me to the shelter.\\nI was not disappointed. Onyx, Jr. was there, but before I could visit with any cat, I had to fill out a form and be interviewed by a shelter volunteer. I told the volunteer about Grendel (and cried), and about my remaining two. Apparently, they found me worthy.\\nOnyx, Jr. turned out to be a sweet cat. I found him lounging comfortably with a few of his fellow felines in one of the small cat rooms. It was hard. I found myself wanting to take him home, but still conflicted. I wasn't sure how the girls would react to a newcomer, I wasn't sure if I was ready for a new cat, I felt that adopting so soon after Grendel's death might be either a betrayal of him or an impetuous action resulting from my grief (Onyx, Jr. looked so much like Grendel).\\nI asked if they would put a 24-hour hold on him while I made up my mind. They would and I arranged to return early Sunday afternoon.\\nI went home and started sort-of preparing my den to be where he'd be isolated from gen-pop while he acclimated to the new home. I was still just 80% sure about this. I also spent a lot of time thinking it through. I was afraid that Rhiannon would go ballistic, but I was also confident that Maebh would love a new pal. She'd been such good friends with Grendel.\\nAfter mass on Sunday, I headed back down to Seattle still in my Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes. I went in to visit with Onyx, Jr. a bit more and all doubts were dispelled. He was a sweetheart and I figured that everything had come together so well that it was kismet. Just a short while later and I was headed home with a cat in a box.\\nI'd been sussing out a name for the new cat. I thought about sticking with a name from medieval literature. I thought about branching out to other sources and considered \"Bonaparte\" or \"Charlemagne,\" but they sounded a bit hifalutin'. Finally, I decided on \"Bogart.\" It took a few days to settle with me, but it fits him now, even if he still doesn't respond to it.\\nMy fears about Rhiannon proved to be unfounded. While she didn't exactly welcome him, her reaction was more of cool indifference, i.e., no drama. My expectations about Maebh proved to be equally fallacious. She took one sniff of Bogart and deemed him unfit for feline companionship.\\nI kept him isolated for most of the first few days. Whenever he was out, Maebh would dog him growling and hissing. Her hostility made me wonder if I shouldn't have named him C\u00fa Chulainn. She's come down a bit and Bogart's out in gen-pop now whenever I'm home, but it can still be dodgy.\\nOtherwise, he's settling in. He's found some favorite places, but he has yet to get cuddly with me, even though he's very affectionate. When I work at my desk upstairs, he loves to sprawl right in front of me in classic Grendel fashion.\\nHe took to the high ground right off and I've fixed him a bed up there.\\nHe's made a pretty thorough inspection of the house. He approves the library.\\nHe loves the big glass door (one of Grendel's favorite places).\\nHis full personality has yet to appear. So far, he's sweet and gentle, but Maebh's hostility has him a bit apprehensive. He loves to play. He tries to make nice with the girls, but so far without luck. He has a quiet little squeak for a meow. Once Maebh has settled down and accepted him, things will move forward. I'm looking forward to how things turn out.","question":"What was the name of the new cat adopted after Grendel's death?","answer":"The new cat adopted after Grendel's death was named Bogart."} {"context":"Move).\\nWATCH: 'Teen Mom' Farrah Unhappy With Kim Kardashian Comparisons\\nWhile later discussing the feud in a group including \"The Talk\"'s Aisha Tyler, Kendall said she was definitely Team Nicki.\\n\"I don't really agree with a lot of Farrah's decisions in life so that's why I would just say: I'm on Nicki's side...

I guess it's sort of a marrying of two concepts I absolutely loved growing up: giant robots and giant monsters. My favorite all-time kaiju is definitely showa Mechagodzilla...but Mogera from The Mysterians (1957) is definitely up there, too!\\nIn my opinion, this movie is highly underrated. Sure, it's campy goodness with cheesey special effects, but that camp and those effects are done right! Toho created something special with this flick. It's a classic alien-invasion story, where the Earth needs to fight off a dying, but powerful, race called \"the Mysterians\". Can't get much better than that!\\nWell, it just so happens that among this race's super-weapons is a giant tunneling mechanized mole called the \"Mogera\". Now, it's not too clear in the movie how many Mogera's the Mysterians possess, but it's clear that they have at least two--after the first is destroyed, a second is seen burrowing through the ground during the desperate final battle.\\nThe effects involving this kaiju and other battle scenes in the movie are pretty amazing for the time. Many of the scenes take place in broad daylight, as opposed to more common nocturnal fights in contemporary monster films, where shortcomings in special effects are often conveniently obscured by the darkness. Instead, the makers of The Mysterians opted for clear, well-lit, elaborate effects that involved some of the best miniature work Toho has ever produced.\\nMy buddy, John Groff of KaijuZoo, was seven years old and living in Japan as a USAF brat at the time this film came out. He's got some great memories of this film! In fact, it was his own custom glow Parababy Mogera that inspired me to create mine! Anyway, this fun tokusatsu adventure is definitely worth checking out. [Click here for Amazon.com's page for Tokyo Shock's US dvd release of the film.]\\nNow, this particular toy started out as Marmit's unpainted glow Parababy Mogera that I picked up from Y!J for short money. Precious few vinyls exist of the final film version of this kaiju. The classic Bullmark sculpt of this character actually depicts the early concept\/prototype version that was obviously modified quite a bit by the time the movie was filmed. Finally, earlier this year, Marusan released a standard-sized film version Mogera (including a glow version that you know I picked up!)...but for the longest time, the only non-deformed, standard-ish sized, glow-in-the-dark game in town for movie Mogera was this Parababy.\\nAnd I was not to be denied.\\nThis was actually a really fun project for me! Obviously, my love for the subject is pretty clear. The smaller size of the figure (6\" or so) made for simpler masking and quick spray sessions. My primary tools included my precious Parafilm M for precision masking, and glow hand- and spraypaints from Ready Set Glo.\\nI kinda dig the results! Essentially, I wanted to recreate the movie colors of the kaiju as closely as I could with the glow spraypaints--which was NOT easy! The upper portions of the limbs and the back carapace had a greenish hue in the movie, so I obviously hit them with green. The feet, hands, and head were primarily gold\/bronze, so I used yellow. The antenna, main body, and circular saw blade on the back were silver....so I gave them a quick, uni-directional spray of blue up from the bottom. The last paint application was aqua hand-paint used on the eyes, surrounded by black acrylic paint (to simulate the look of the kaiju when firing its eye-beams in the movie). Finally, I sealed everything up with Minwax Polycrylic semi-gloss spray.\\nBelieve me when I tell you this: the figure glows bright as hell! And this is coming from a guy who owns well over a hundred glowies. It's pretty crazy--glow paint on glow vinyl is just deadly. The glow paint, itself, adds to the glow of the vinyl...and actually enhances it. Not only does this figure now glow much brighter than a regular glowie, but it actually glows much longer! Unfortunately, it's tough to capture the color difference among the different paints while glowing due to camera limitations, but they really do appear very distinct. The yellow and green paints glow different shades of green, but the blue glows a very vivid medium blue...and obviously, the aqua eyes look absolutely electric!\\nI actually had to tone down my exposure time for the glow shots! Normally, I use a 15-second exposure time for glowies...I tried that with this figure and the shots ended up looking like a ridiculous, bright-green blob. Cutting down the exposure time to 5 seconds did the trick!\\nWell, that's pretty much it for this figure. I finally got my movie-style glowie Mogera and all is right with the world! The Mysterians, The Mysterians, The Mysterians!!\\nTokyo Shock's release of this movie is really a must-have. If you told me 5 years ago we'd have region 1 DVD's of non-Godzilla Toho flicks I'd have said you were crazy,yet now we have Varan,Yog,Matango,and this,and I believe they're doing War of the Gargantuas,too.And these aren't the PD VHS's of yesteryear,folks,these are high quality releases.\\nWar of the Gargantuas would be slamming. Incidentally, it'd be nice if Classic Media got back on the ball with releasing the Godzilla films. I hear the next batch is going to be way outta order...Godzilla's Revenge and The Terror of Mechagodzilla.\\n*Sigh*\\nBut at least Tokyo Shock still seems to be going strong--I just picked up Latitude Zero...corny as hell, but how can ya go wrong with Caesar Romero!? ;)\\n--\\nSanjeev\\nCollectionDX, CollectionDX logo and site contents are \u2122 and \u00a92008 CollectionDX.com","question":"What is the name of the giant tunneling mechanized mole in the movie \"The Mysterians\"?","answer":"The name of the giant tunneling mechanized mole in the movie \"The Mysterians\" is \"Mogera\"."} {"context":"I recently ordered a pair of shoes from eBay to try on my iMDA 2.6 as she is in between a Pukifee and Littlefee foot size . . . 3.3mm from back of heel to tip of big toe.

Take the trail to the right following the white blazes. In 250 m at a T-intersection, take the side trail to the left and follow the blue blazes. This is the Eldred King Side Trail although it is not marked as such. The trail widens to a gravel trail through the woods and soon becomes very sandy. At waypoint (002) intersection, the Eldred King Side Trail heads to the right.\\n002 - 003 | 0.93 kmThe trail now becomes narrower as it heads north. Continue to follow the blue blazes of the side trail. Numerous side trails head off to private property gates on the right. Continue straight ahead on the trail which becomes wider alternating between sandy loam and hard packed earth as it passes through an area of relatively young heavily wooded forest with dense undergrowth. At waypoint (003) the trail heads downhill to the left.\\n003 - 004 | 2.7 kmAt the bottom of the hill is another intersection with the blue trail blazes indicating a turn to the left. (To the right there are a number of posts in the ground blocking off the area.) The trail arrives at a large pond straight ahead but keep left crossing over the bridge. The trail now climbs a slope showing considerable tornado damage due to a storm in the summer of 2006. The trail continues ahead arriving at a large metal fence and a road. This is the intersection of Faulkner Ave and McCowan Rd, or waypoint (004).\\n004 - 005 | 5.4 kmThe trail makes a U-turn and goes off to the right and continues to follow the blue blazes. Do not take the trail that parallels the road. The sandy path widens to near road size passing through woods with a slightly more mature growth. At a T-intersection the trail goes off to the left -follow the blue blazes. At the top of a long gradual hill the trail turns left and narrows through the woods. At a wide opening T-intersection, the trail heads to the right. Soon a T blaze can be seen on a tree marking the end of the Eldred King Side Trail. This is waypoint (005).\\n005 - 006 | 5.8 kmThe trail now goes straight ahead keeping right at the intersection. Now follow the white blazes seen on a tree under the ORTA (Oak Ridges Trail Assoc.) sign as the trail becomes doubled and hard packed. At a gravel pile and an open field turn right and continue to follow the white blazes along this main ORTA trail. At the Hall Tract Side Trail (waypoint 006) go straight ahead keeping right to follow the blue blazes of the side trail. (The trail to the left passes through a fence opening -you will return on this trail later.)\\n006 - 007 | 8.9 kmThe trail descends along sandy trail narrowing considerably at the bottom where it passes through an area of coniferous and deciduous trees. Arriving at an intersection the trail goes off to the left meeting a number of other trails. Take the trail to the left with the blue marker on the tree. At another T-intersection, the trail goes off to the left heading downhill. At a Y-intersection watch for the trail going off to the left with the blue blaze on a pine tree. Soon another blaze indicates the trail goes off to the right at another intersection. Take care at all these intersection to look for the blue blaze markers and follow them. It is very easy to get lost if you are not paying attention. The trail now heads downhill through an open meadow with pine trees on both sides of the trail. At the bottom of the hill stop and watch for the trail markings. The trail goes to the left and circles around the trees beside you and continues along a narrow grassy path. This open meadow is a good lunch spot.\\nSoon a post in the ground appears with blue blazes indicating a turn to the right uphill. At the top of the hill the trail goes right passing through an area of old pine trees that have lost their needles on the lower branches.

At another cross intersection continue straight ahead following the blue blazes. At a T-intersection take the trail to the right. Immediately after this at a Y-intersection take the trail to the left and then at a T-intersection go left. After a long climb up a gradual hill at another cross intersection continue straight ahead on what looks like the less travelled trail.

But Iott, like other students, said he didn\u2019t sense the same level of enthusiasm on campus as in 2008.\\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if there was that same passion but I know that people did care,\u201d said Iott, a senior at GVSU who serves as president of the Student Senate.\\nWhether that perceived drop in enthusiasm translated into fewer GVSU students voting is a difficult question to answer.\\nAlthough some students may have cast their vote in Allendale, others undoubtedly did so by an absentee ballot. And with the largest percent of the university\u2019s students coming from Kent and Ottawa counties, it\u2019s also likely many students return home to vote. Combined, that makes sizing up the youth vote at GVSU difficult.\\nIn an effort to boost turnout, student groups on campus held voter registration drives and tried to get the word out about how to vote by absentee ballot. Representatives of Michigan\u2019s Secretary of State office visited campus in September to, among other things, register students to vote.\\n\u201cI would probably say voter turnout was better in '08 at Grand Valley,\u201d said Kyle McMillen, president of GVSU\u2019s College Democrats and a double major in history and political science. \u201cI just think there was more of an effort to get out the vote in '08 than 2012.\u201d\\nFifty percent of young people \u2013 those between 18 and 29 \u2013 voted in the 2012 Presidential election \u2013 virtually the same number as in 2008, according to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.\\n\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a lot of people who aren\u2019t involved campus-wide,\u201d Rachel Doane, a member of the GVSU College Republicans, said of voter turnout. But \u201cit depends on where you look.\u201d\\nAllendale Township Clerk Candy Kraker said there was a noticeable difference in the number of young voters who turned out to the polls in her township.\\n\u201cFour years ago we had masses of students from Grand Valley \u2013 they were busing them into vote,\u201d Kraker said. \u201cWe had quite a few (this year) but they came on their own and their counts were way down.\u201d\\nIn the township\u2019s 5th precinct \u2013 the territory where Kraker said many off-campus student apartments are located -- turnout was 55.7 percent, according to the Ottawa County Clerk\u2019s website.\\nFour years ago, turnout was pegged at 68.5 percent. That\u2019s nearly 13 percentage points higher than this year\u2019s election.\\nStill, it\u2019s difficult to say whether the fluctuation can be attributed solely to students.\\nIn addition, Kraker also said there was fewer voter registration materials turned into the township this year than in 2008.\\n\u201cFour years ago there were massive registration drives, and honestly they would come in with stacks of registrations for us to process,\u201d she said.\\nIott said the Student Senate hosted several registration drives, primarily geared toward students from Ottawa and Kent counties, over a three-week period this fall.\\nAnd while the Student Senate had provided transportation for students to the polls in the past, the same wasn\u2019t done this year because the number of students who took advantage of the service was relatively low, he said.\\n\u201cStudents weren\u2019t changing their permanent address to be able to vote in Allendale,\u201d said Iott, who traveled to his hometown of Milford, near metro Detroit, to vote.\\nSo what needs to happen to boost youth turnout at GVSU?\\nMcMillen, of the GVSU College Democrats, said participation, in part, boils down to how connected students feel to the candidates and whether they think their vote counts.\\n\u201cA lot of college students, I think, think their vote didn\u2019t count,\u201d McMillen said.\\nIott said it should be easier for students to vote absentee and from their temporary address.\\nMichigan residents who are first-time voters and register by mail or a voter registration drive must vote in person in their first election, according to the Michigan Secretary of State\u2019s office.\\n\u201cHonestly, I think students would vote more the day of if they were registered and could wake up and vote from anywhere,\u201d Iott said.","question":"What was the perceived change in student voting enthusiasm at Grand Valley State University between the 2008 and 2012 elections?","answer":"The perceived change in student voting enthusiasm at Grand Valley State University between the 2008 and 2012 elections was a decrease.

All that changes at game time.\\n\"When the lights came on and it was time to go to work he was pretty intense,\" recalled Steve Warren, his high school coach in Abilene. \"He was great at it.\"\\nIt looks like he still is. And Potts will need every bit of that intensity when the Red Raiders travel to No. 2 Texas on Saturday night. Tech has lost the past four games in Austin and this game has a big subplot.\\nThe Longhorns will be seeking revenge after Texas Tech stunned them 39-33 last year, beating the nation's top-ranked team on a final-second touchdown in Lubbock. Texas fans, and players, believe the loss cost them a shot at a national championship run.\\nPotts grew up about 25 miles from Texas quarterback Colt McCoy's hometown of Tuscola. The two never played in high school. Their schools were in different classifications - Potts played at a larger school than McCoy, who was a year ahead of Potts.\\nSports Channel\\nTexas Tech coach Mike Leach is a fan of Potts' leadership style, going so far earlier this season as to compare his swagger to John Wayne.\\n\"I think he does a good job as far as leading the group, and I think (is) steadily improving, from the experience standpoint,\" Leach said. \"He's picked it up pretty fast.\"\\nWarren remembers Potts' short memory. He shrugs off the good and the bad in equal measure. The two spoke after Potts' debut as a starter this season, a 38-13 win over North Dakota during which he threw three interceptions - one more than he'd thrown in two years as backup to Graham Harrell.\\nPotts asked Warren's advice.\\n\"Throw it to the open guy,\" Warren replied.\\n\"I think he's really good at\" keeping things in perspective, Warren said of his former player. \"He makes really good decisions.\"\\nPotts didn't play in last year's win over Texas. It was his second season spent pacing the sidelines as he awaited his shot at leading Texas Tech, which for eight of the past nine years had quarterbacks lead the nation in passing in Leach's spread offense.\\nThe waiting was probably hard for Potts, whose mother said he's never been a good spectator. But Leach didn't leave him languishing without feedback.\\n\"There was respect from him,\" Potts said before the season (Leach did not make Potts available to reporters this week). \"He offered up confidence to me. He said good things to me, encouraging things. He kept my spirits up.\"\\nPotts has little interest in statistics but knows big numbers come with Texas Tech's dizzying aerial barrage.\\n\"I've only been one to care about wins,\" he said. \"I think if you win 12 ball games they're going to be more praising of your 12 wins than they are your 5,000 yards passing or something like that.\"\\nWarren helped Potts understand that a strong, accurate arm isn't all a quarterback needs. He needs touch. So far this season, Potts has completed 70 of 105 passes (67 percent).\\nWill Muschamp, Texas' defensive coordinator, anticipates his secondary will be challenged.\\n\"He's got arm talent,\" Muschamp said. \"He can make all the throws.

The aggressive gum disease with which I was diagnosed in the middle of the year is showing no signs of making a dramatic improvement. Is it genetic or is it because I took a couple of whacks as a teenager? Who knows? Hey ho. We are where we are.\\nCareer Change\\nI took voluntary redundancy from my long-term career at the end of August. I\u2019d wanted that for some time, and I still think it was the right decision. A bit scary, and I\u2019ve been busier in the last few months than I have been for a long time, but, actually, I\u2019m loving it. It\u2019s a massive learning curve, doing all the things I\u2019m trying to do, but it\u2019s amazing.\\nI love writing and I\u2019d love to make my living from that, but I\u2019m not there yet. However, I can do it alongside all the other things I\u2019m doing. I have a novel and a few non-fiction books on the go. The plan is to get at least one published in the next few months.\\nI started a life coaching course in September, as well as an NLP practitioners course.

Davis said that means leadership makes it part of their organizational routine to continually look at and identify ahead of time the risks of the workplace. That includes off-duty time, and combat or contingency operations. They can then use what they have identified to find ways to minimize that risk.\\nThe Army has a cadre of safety professionals, Davis said, who must manage the Army safety and occupational health program efficiently and effectively. That too is a goal outlined in the plan.\\n\"Our safety professionals in particular are providing tremendous dividends for our Soldiers both at home when they are in garrison doing training and preparatory activity, and when they forward deploy on contingency operations,\" Davis said.\\nEnsuring career paths, career planning and training for those professionals is important, Davis said. Also important to safety program management is the process of fielding a single reporting system to the entire Army that will assist leaders and supervisors at every level in doing a better job of reporting accidents when they occur. Until now, the Army's had as many as eight systems for accident reporting, Davis said.\\nFinally, the reduction of the accident and illness rates in the Army is a very broad goal included in the plan. That goal is accomplished through programs at every installation and organization within the Army, Davis said.\\n\"The Safety Center down at Fort Rucker has developed a host of leading edge initiatives in the areas of privately owned vehicles and driving safety to motorcycle safety in particular\" to further the Army's accident reduction goals, Davis said, adding that there's good feedback coming from those programs.\\nThere were 299 accidental fatalities among Soldiers in fiscal year 2005; that number dropped to 240 in 2006, rose slightly to 250 in 2007, dropped again to 210 in 2008, and then dropped again to 173 in 2009. So far this year, there are 99 accidental fatalities in the Army -- less than the number of deaths at the same time each year since 2005.\\n\"We're doing better now than we did last year, not by much, but I think that we'll continue to show progress,\" Davis said.\\nOf the 99 accidental deaths so far in fiscal year 2010, 27 have been on-duty deaths and 72 were off-duty. Davis said that the number of on-duty accidental deaths is stabilizing and that the number of off-duty accidental deaths in the Army is decreasing.\\nThe largest number of those off-duty deaths this year are from accidents in privately owned vehicles -- and those numbers are broken down by vehicle type: 28 from sedans, 16 from motorcycles, and 11 from other vehicles such as vans, SUVs, mopeds or all-terrain vehicles.\\n\"The motorcycle area is one where we spend a lot of time and effort,\" Davis said. \"We have seen a big push at every level within every organization that really focuses on motorcycle safety. There are a lot of Soldiers that ride motorcycles.\"\\nDavis said that Army efforts for motorcycle safety focus on training and certification for Soldiers to ride motorcycles. To ride a motorcycle on an Army installation, for instance, a Soldier must have first taken a motorcycle safety course. The Army also has programs to pair new riders with more experienced ones.\\n\"A lot of time when you're dealing with motorcycles, one of the key factors there with fatalities is experience,\" Davis said.\\nOther large risk factors involve non-motorcycle POVs. \"There's two things: speed and seatbelts,\" Davis said. \"As we look at the accident reports that come in, it just shocks you that probably in the range of 25 to 35 percent of those fatalities involve Soldiers that weren't wearing their seat belts.\"\\nFor on-the-job safety, the Army is also making efforts, including aviation safety and ground safety. On-duty safety can be improved with training, Davis said. One such example is with the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle program. The Army is working to designate more MRAPs for training purposes so Soldiers can learn about them before they deploy.\\n\"We're working to get the MRAP out at home station training and also the combat training centers so Soldiers will have the opportunity to enhance their driving skills and become more proficient in operating these vehicles,\" Davis said.\\nThe same efforts were made for the up-armored Humvee, three to four years ago, Davis said. Those vehicles were top-heavy, and training was needed to help Soldiers learn to deal with that and to know what to do in a rollover.\\n\"They would enhance crew coordination when you have a rollover and we just had more of the vehicles that were available at home station, installations and combat training centers for Solders to actually drive and become proficient in operating,\" he said.\\nCrew coordination continues to be an essential element of aviation activities, Davis said. And the Army has also increased training for high altitude operations, in light of the high altitude conditions Army aviators operate under in Afghanistan.\\nAnother big factor in safety, Davis said, is leadership and peer-to-peer engagement.\\n\"Soldiers themselves can really help one another, whether it's preparing a mortar round to be fired or setting head space and timing on a .50-cal machine gun -- everybody is watching one another,\" he said. \"At the end of the day, if the headspace and timing is not set properly, it could injure not only the person firing but other people.\"\\nSoldiers can also ask themselves over the summer if drinking a six-pack of beer is a good idea before boating or getting on a jet ski. Or if it's safe to take a 12-hour drive after working a 12-hour duty day. Davis said the impact of the loss of even one Soldier is far-reaching.\\n\"Whether he was a member of a fire team, a Bradley crew, a tank crew or some other team, it can have a devastating effect,\" he said. \"And not just from a readiness standpoint -- by not having a Soldier there -- but there is an impact on the mental readiness of other Soldiers as well. They've lost somebody who was a member of the team, the Army family -- it's hard to recover from that.\"","question":"What are the four broad goals of the Army's strategic plan to improve safety?","answer":"The four broad goals of the Army's strategic plan to improve safety are the incorporation of safety and occupational health into Army culture, ensuring proactive and systematic management of risk, managing the Army safety and occupational health program efficiently and effectively, and the reduction of the accident and illness rates in the Army."} {"context":"I have been scouring left and right, from local boutiques to Etsy shops, in search of new discoveries that can't quite be found in mass retailers.

In spectacles, there are four key dimensions that ought to be considered before making purchase decisions. Let us now help you choose the perfect size spectacles frames that suit your face, with a few pointers and tips.\\nFrame Measurements\\nThe easiest way is to read the code on your old chasma frames, or measure the following distances using a ruler-\\n- 1) Eye Size- Eye size refers to the width (in millimeter) of one of the lenses, using the farthest points on both sides of the lens. Usually, the eye size lies in the range of 40 to 60 mm. If the eye size is less than 50 mm, small-sized glasses frames will work well for you. In case the eye size is between 51 mm and 54 mm, you can opt for a medium-sized chasma. If your eye size is more than 55 mm, we recommend you choose large-sized eyeglass frames.\\n- 2) Bridge Size- Bridge size refers to the distance between the two lenses, measured at the closest point between them.\\n- 3) Temple Length- The length of the temple is measured from one end of the temple to another, including the bend.\\n- 4) B Length- B length is the height (in millimeter) of the lens of the glasses. It is measured from the tip of the lens aperture to the bottom of the lens aperture. This parameter is usually ignored, except in cases of multi-focal or progressive lenses.\\n- 5) Total frame width- The total frame width can be gauged by using a ruler to measure the distance from one end of your glasses to the other.\\nFace Measurements\\nBefore considering the frame sizes of the specs, you can measure the size of your face and find the perfect fit. Here's how - In front of a mirror, hold a ruler horizontally across your face. Measure the distance between the left and right sides of your face, across the temples, in inches. If your face size is less than 4.5 inches, a small-framed chasma would look good on you. If your face size lies between 4.5 and 5.75 inches, we are sure that eyeglasses with a medium frame will suit you well. If your face size is more than 6 inches, we recommend large frame sizes.","question":"What are the four key dimensions that should be considered when choosing the size of eyeglasses frames?","answer":"The four key dimensions that should be considered when choosing the size of eyeglasses frames are Eye Size, Bridge Size, Temple Length, and B Length."} {"context":"Pochettino: \"I could never coach an archenemy like Barcelona\"\\nThe Tottenham manager spoke to Onda Cero's El Transistor programme about life in London and Guardiola's problematic remarks about SpursChelsea - Barcelona U - 19 live: UEFA Youth League final\\nTottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino spent a short while chatting to Onda Cero radio programme El Transistor last night.

However, I do like to partake in bathtime and smell pretty. Unfortunately, this is what has driven me to writing this review. I purchased this in a small and rather useless pharmacy that insisted I spent \u00a35 when all I wanted was some Tixilix for the girls as they had kennel cough - I bumped up my original purchase with a blank greetings card and a bottle of this gel because it sounded nice and I was in a rush - plus at \u00a31.09 for 250ml, it seemed a reasonable price.\\n~~*~~ It's a shower gel ~~*~~\\nI'm not going to invest in separate shaving foam so my shower gel gets used for that (and for de-griming Puddle the Irish Water Spaniel when she's dipped herself in cow poop). A dollop the size of a \u00a32 piece will lather up enough to cover my big ol body and will generally cover the whole of my dog when mixed with her curls - interesting stuff if you too have an 80's perm effect on your noggin.\\n~~*~~ Energising, my butt ~~*~~\\nIt proclaims to be 'energising' presumably due to the inclusion of mint - the fact that there is a distinct lack of mint smell may attest to the fact that I do not feel energised after use. Neither does the Puddle. It does smell very orangey when using it but soon after, it fades and after a day's work it smells like stale sweat. I know I probably smell of stale sweat anyway in my rather pongy job but this is a strange sickly smell that I don't like. On a plus note, it doesn't seem to dry out my skin but it isn't as moisturising as other shower gels. It's a fairly nice smooth consistency without being too runny or having those horrible scratchy bits in it, and comes in a bright orange colour to prove it has seen an orange, once.\\n~~*~~ Ingredients and other rubbish ~~*~~\\nActually to list the ingredients would be futile - does anyone really care or know what they mean - the only interesting one is glucose but since it states on the bottle that you're not allowed to drink it, this probably won't be of benefit to those in need of a sugar fix. The bottle is not particularly attractive but has an easy to use flip-top lid. This is a Timotei product from the aroma gel range - I may be tempted to try another flavour but won't be bothering with this one again. If however you'd like to make your own mind up you can find it pretty much anywhere - notably in poundland where I believe it was selling for a pound.\\nUnilever UK,\\nFreepost,\\nAdmail 1000,\\nLondon,\\nSW1A 2XX\\n0800 085 1548\\nThanks for reading.\\nReview will most definitely appear elsewhere.\\nCaroline, Pig & Puddle\\nSeptember 2011\\n\/\/ TIMOTEI SHOWER GEL \\\\\\n--------------\\nTHE PRICE\\n--------------\\nI picked this up from Wilkinson's whilst it was on sale for 99p, the usual price is around \u00a31.70 - \u00a31.90 mark.\\nI think this is a reasonable price for a reasonable shower gel.\\n----------------------\\nTHE APPEARANCE\\n----------------------\\nThe shower gel comes in a curved clear plastic bottle with a orange plastic lid.\\nOn the front of the bottle is the Timotei logo and some more information, along with a large picture of a sliced orange and a little circle which contains a picture of mint.\\nOn the back of the bottle is the usual information, how many ml you have, ingredients, what it does ect.\\nThe gel itself is orange in colour.\\nOver all, a decent looking bottle but nothing special.\\n--------------------\\nMY EXPERIENCE\\n--------------------\\nThe shower gel claims to be energising, I have to be honest though, it didn't make me feel any more energised.\\nThe gel is orange in colour and has a jelly like texture, when you squeeze the bottle it does actually come out like jelly, it isn't smooth and runs out, its quite thick and breaks up as it comes out.\\nThe smell of the shower gel is very nice, if you open up the lid and just squeeze the bottle to get a whiff it spells like pure orange juice, no sign of mint when you do this though, it actually smells good enough to drink, this probably being why on the back it tells me it isn't drinkable!\\nWhen the shower gel is applied onto my puff and put onto my body, the mint comes through very strongly the first few seconds it hits the skin, it blends perfectly with the orange and they both are a match in heaven, but after the gel has been on your body the strong smell of the orange and mint fades, with the mint fading the most and being non existent. You are then basically washing with a plain wash.\\nThe gel does lather up quite nicely and smells nice for the first few minutes, afterwards when dry the smell is no longer on the skin and I don't feel more energised. It does clean you though!\\nOver all, a decent product.","question":"What are the main ingredients of the Timotei Energising Orange and Mint shower gel?","answer":"The main ingredients of the Timotei Energising Orange and Mint shower gel are not specified in the context, but it mentions the inclusion of mint and orange."} {"context":"By Eric Spitznagel on May 24, 2012\\nDespite Maron\u2019s swagger, he\u2019s just the guy who sells Sheen wristwatches. \u201cHe has incredible taste,\u201d says Sheen, who\u2019s made Maron a co-executive producer on his show. \u201cHe\u2019s the most astute player in the game. He truly is, in my opinion, the market maker.\u201d\\nMaron specializes in brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe, and makes a convincing case for spending more on a watch than on a house.\\n\u201cYou can drive a Ferrari, but you can\u2019t drive it into a board meeting,\u201dhe likes to say.\\n\u201cYou can put a beautiful Warhol on your wall, but you can\u2019t take it to dinner with your friends.\u201dAnd he has countless stories that prove that spending a fortune on a watch is the best investment you\u2019ll ever make.\\n\u201cA client I worked with, one of the first hires at Dell (DELL), he bought 22 vintage Paul Newman Daytonas from me 10 years ago,\u201d Maron says. \u201cI thought he was nuts. I remember the highest price I ever charged him for an individual watch was $16,000. A few years ago I ended up buying his collection back. I bought 20 of his watches for a million and a half bucks. He got the last laugh.\u201d (No, Maron did. He only bought the watches, he says, because he knew he could sell them for $2 million. \u201cAnd I did.\u201d)\\nMaron, 52, has been buying and selling watches since 1982, and the market for watch collecting, he says, has never been stronger. Christie\u2019s, the New York auction house, reported watch sales of $116.3 million last year, a 28 percent increase from 2010. Global Industry Analysts, a San Jose publisher of market research, predicts the worldwide market for watches could reach $46.6 billion by 2017.., has certainly benefited from the increased interest in collectible watches. Most of his customers, he says, buy in bulk. The serious collectors will buy anywhere from 40 to 200 watches. As for what that translates to in actual earnings, Maron won\u2019t get into specifics. \u201cWe sell million-dollar watches,\u201d he says. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to do a lot of math to realize we\u2019re doing tens of millions of dollars of business.\u201d He says profits are up 20 percent so far in 2012.\\nMaron seems to enjoy cultivating an air of mystery in everything he does. He declines to name most clients. \u201cI deal with some of the most well-known icons in the business world,\u201d says Maron at his office. \u201cI\u2019m constantly on the phone with somebody from Goldman Sachs (GS) or \u2026.\u201d He pauses, whispering to his associates, Paul King, chief financial officer, and Rob Spayne, sales and marketing manager. \u201cLet\u2019s just say when a guy sells his business for a couple hundred million bucks, his money usually finds its way to me.\u201d\\nWhile Maron\u2019s corporate clientele prefers discretion, he has a high-profile customer pool of celebrities, including musician John Mayer and actors Orlando Bloom and Jennifer Aniston. , lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. \u201cI recently contacted him requesting a very rare Rolex made in 1962 as a present for one of my band mates. Within days it was delivered to my hotel room in New York. He\u2019s the rock star of watch dealers.\u201d\\nSheen has been buying from Maron for almost a decade, through good times and bad. The engraved Patek Philippe Calatrava that Sheen used to propose to real estate investor Brooke Mueller in 2007? That came from Maron. And when Sheen tore apart his room at New York\u2019s Plaza Hotel in 2010 looking for his cherished $165,000 Patek Philippe Ref. 5970, the watch he accused adult film performer Capri Anderson of stealing, it was Maron who helped him find a replacement. Maron also sold him the original and was out with Sheen the night before it disappeared.\\n\u201cHe partied a little harder than me,\u201d Maron says. \u201cDinner turned into drinks turned into 4 School of Law during the late 1980s and early \u201990s, he paid for his tuition by buying and selling vintage timepieces. It was a low-stakes hobby he did mostly for fun. In 1999. \u201cI just started telling him how magnificent the watch was,\u201d Maron says. \u201cI basically didn\u2019t stop talking till he said \u2018yes.\u2019 \u201d With that sale, he graduated into the big leagues.\\nThere\u2019s very little Maron won\u2019t do to beat a competitor. He\u2019s flown to Las Vegas on his wedding anniversary, his wife in tow, to wine and dine an Italian race car driver who wasn\u2019t quite ready to part with his Patek 130, a model that sold at a Christie\u2019s auction in 2008 for $213,833. (\u201cI ended up getting the watch,\u201d he says.) He\u2019s driven out to a hippie commune in Joshua Tree National Park to inspect a rare Patek a difficult seller. \u201cThe guy told me, \u2018I want a cashier\u2019s check for $50,000 by 5 p.m. or I\u2019m considering other offers, and I\u2019m not flexible on this,\u2019 \u201d Maron remembers. \u201cIt was 3:30 in the afternoon, and he was 140 miles away.\u201d Maron made it to the seller with minutes to spare.\\nFor all his success, Maron still has a Great White Whale of timepieces: the Patek Philippe Ref. 3449. Only three were made, and two are publicly accounted for. One was sold in 2004 for $1.4 million at an Antiquorum auction and the other in November 2011 at a Christie\u2019s auction, fetching \u20ac1.2 million (approximately $1.5 million). As for the third, Maron is either still searching for it or already has it; he won\u2019t say. \u201cPeople have insisted that I\u2019ve found the third,\u201d he says, without elaborating on who these people might be. \u201cI\u2019m not going to confirm or deny it.\u201d He laughs. \u201cThe world will find out if I own it if I offer it for sale,\u201d he says with a grin. \u201cLet\u2019s leave it at that.\u201d\\nYour comments are always appreciated","question":"What brands of watches does Maron specialize in?","answer":"Maron specializes in brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe."} {"context":" it's this!!!\\nHonestly one of the greatest fights in anime history and my favourite from naruto\\nwhich do you guys like? :D\\nThis is by far one of my favorite Naruto pages it really knocked Itachi off his high horse and gave Kabuto recognation.\\nEpicness, this page also won me 20 dollars :D\\nOriginally Posted by Deadai\\nThis is by far one of my favorite Naruto pages it really knocked Itachi off his high horse and gave Kabuto recognation.\\nToo bad it was all just part of Izanami, Itachi told Kabuto how to stop the affect of the jutsu but he still failed lol\\nSorry guys but the best one :\/ Is right here\\nOriginally Posted by Hipster Deidara\\nSorry guys but the best one :\/ Is right here\\nlmao +rep\\nAll of them\\nThis one was the coolest just because:\\nMine is when sasuke when susanoo and wheb tosiro used his bankai\\nLast edited by -Frost Knight-; 10-09-2012 at 04:59 AM.\\nAny page with Lord Sasuke on it.\\nthis is some awesome stuff\\nAnd if I had to be serious, it'd be:\\nLast edited by Thane; 10-09-2012 at 07:24 AM.\\nOriginally Posted by Lilvic92\\nEpicness, this page also won me 20 dollars :D\\nI have to wonder how many times I've looked at this page and just stared in awe.

He's supervised some of the Feds' highest-profile recent prosecutions, including NFL quarterback Michael Vick and convicted 9\/11 co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.\\nAfter keeping pace with the Rocket Docket's notoriously taxing calendar, Chuck had the sense to take a three month break, and go on \"a lot of walks with my wife\" before coming to private practice three weeks ago. The soft-spoken prosecutor joins the white collar and investigations group helmed by Ty Cobb. (We're resisting a baseball joke; oh wait, does that aside count?)\\nChuck says he took a \"terribly unsophisticated\" approach to his job search. The simple reason for his choice: \"The folks here seemed to be very nice.\" Don't be fooled by the nice guy act: Tose boxing gloves are a gift he got after restraining a defendant who tried to flee the courtroom upon his conviction. Chuck left a previous stint in private practice (Hunton & Williams) to serve the country after 9\/11, which led to roles as counsel to FBI Director Bob Mueller and counselor to AG John Ashcroft.\\nEnvironmental guru David Weinberg of Wiley Rein tells us we may see an interesting legal development on climate change. During his campaign, Obama took the position that the EPA has authority under existing legislation\u2014the Clean Air Act\u2014to address CO2 emissions. With no climate change legislation on the horizon due to the economy, the Prez will likely test that theory. Once the agency gets staffed, David says, the EPA will try to regulate big emitters like utilities and refineries. If the CAA is unable to provide authority, the attention should increase pressure to change the law.\\nAnother avenue around legislation: state regulation. Just after our interview, Obama urged EPA to review whether California should be granted a waiver from the CAA to implement its own auto-emissions standards (legal challenges have failed). Some of the stimulus bill will tie to \"green\" projects, but David tells us the next legislation directly affecting greenhouse gases will be this spring's expected bill bailing out Detroit's Big Three, which could contain support for green vehicles. Meanwhile, David's own concern is a 9th Circuit appeal, United Farm Workers v. EPA, on the relationship between pesticide regs and the Endangered Species Act.\\nAttorneys from Ballard Spahr (550 lawyers in 12 offices) descended on the Willard Friday for the firm's annual meeting, with a focus on new practice opportunities arising from the changing economy.

He spent the entire season on PUP after getting a knee scope before minicamp. I don\u2019t see any way he makes the roster; in fact, I\u2019m not sure why they are even keeping him now. If he comes back and then gets injured the team could be on the hook for his entire 2014 salary.\\n\u2014Jason Hatcher, Stephen Bowen, and Leonard Hankers were all put on PUP.

Stevona Elem Rogers, a New Orleans-based writer who identifies as a womanist, appropriated and tweaked the quote to build her brand Black Women Are for Grown Ups, or BWAFGU (pronounced phonetically). Rogers' slogan asserts that this same grownness, seemingly a class-based ackright, makes someone eligible to own a black woman. And lots of black women agree with her. The statement shirts and chapbook sell. Two Dope Queens named an episode after the brand when Lavar Burton wore the shirt as a guest on the show.

If this was the case, we would want to ensure that the sample we selected had a proportional number of male and female students relative to the population. Therefore, the total number of male and female students included in our quota would only be equal if 5,000 students from the university were male and the other 5,000 students were female. Since this is unlikely to be the case, the number of units that should be selected for each stratum (that is, the number of male and female students selected) will vary. We explain how this is achieved in the next section: Creating a quota sample.\\nTo create a quota sample, there are three steps: (a) choosing the relevant stratification and dividing the population accordingly; (b) calculating a quota for each stratum; and (c) continuing to invite cases until the quota for each stratum is met.\\nIf we wanted to look at the differences in male and female students, this would mean choosing gender as the stratification, but it could similarly involve choosing students from different subjects (e.g., social sciences, medicine, engineering, education, etc.), year groups, or some other variable(s).\\nThe number of cases that should be included in each stratum will vary depending on the make-up of each stratum within the population. If we were to examine the differences in male and female students, for example, the number of students from each group that we would include in the sample would be based on the proportion of male and female students amongst the 10,000 university students. For example, if there were 6,000 male students (60% of the total) and 4,000 female students (40% of the total), our sample would need to be made up of 60% males and 40% females. If our desired sample size was 100 students, this would mean our sample should include 60 male students and 40 female students.\\nOnce you have selected the number of cases you need in each stratum, you simply need to keep inviting participants to take part in your research until each of these quotas are filled.\\nQuota sampling is particularly useful when you are unable to obtain a probability sample, but you are still trying to create a sample that is as representative as possible of the population being studied. In this respect, it is the non-probability based equivalent of the stratified random sample.\\nUnlike probability sampling techniques, especially stratified random sampling, quota sampling is much quicker and easier to carry out because it does not require a sampling frame and the strict use of random sampling techniques. This makes it popular in undergraduate and master's level dissertations where there is a need to divide the population being studied into strata (groups).\\nThe quota sample improves the representation of particular strata (groups) within the population, as well as ensuring that these strata are not over-represented. For example, it would ensure that we have sufficient male students taking part in the research (60% of our sample size of 100; hence, 60 male students). It would also make sure we did not have more than 60 male students, which would result in an over-representation of male students in our research.\\nThe use of a quota sample, which leads to the stratification of a sample (e.g., male and female students), allows us to more easily compare these groups (strata).isation.\\nIt must be possible to clearly divide the population into strata; that is, each unit from the population must only belong to one stratum. In our example, this would be fairly simple, since our strata are male and female students. Clearly, a student could only be classified as either male or female. No student could fit into both categories (ignoring transgender issues).\\nFurthermore, imagine extending the sampling requirements such that we were also interested in how career goals changed depending on whether a student was an undergraduate or graduate. Since the strata must be mutually exclusive, this means that we would need to sample four strata from the population: undergraduate males, undergraduate females, graduate males, and graduate females. This will increase overall sample size required for the research, which can increase costs and time to carry out the research.","question":"What are the steps to create a quota sample in a research study?","answer":"To create a quota sample, there are three steps: (a) choosing the relevant stratification and dividing the population accordingly; (b) calculating a quota for each stratum; and (c) continuing to invite cases until the quota for each stratum is met."} {"context":"Thank you to everyone who offered opinions on this month\u2019s topic.

They organize everything, settle all the squabbles and put in 100s of hours of work! \u2014Anonymous\\nWally Rice\u2014a donation toward his radiation treatments. \u2014Anonymous\\nGabriel and Ivonne Rangel. They deserve a special gift because they have hearts of gold. They would give their last pair of underwear to a person in need and wouldn\u2019t think twice. I\u2019ve known them for over 15 years and they are always the first to help any person or any dog. Just good people.\\n\u2014Pamela Levy\\nBreeders! Gift: respect and gratitude, without good breeders there would be very few good dogs. \u2014Anonymous\\nWally Rice. A clean bill of health! \u2014Anonymous\\nAnyone who has suffered from the devastating fires in the west or the hurricanes to be safe with their animals.\\n\u2014Anonymous\\nIt would not be an individual, but a group that is deserving. This group is the dwindling and aging group of small breeder\/owner\/handlers. We are a passionate group, with limited funds who do it as a competitive sport to prove our dogs are worthy, and sometimes superior, representatives of our breed. The Owner Handler series is a great start, but when it rewards no points it devalues the whole process.\\n\u2014I. Annette Williams\\nThey are not \u201cdog show\u201d people per se\u2014but I\u2019m wishing a very Happy Holiday season to all the civilians and law enforcement officers who banded together and helped locate the 14 dogs inside the stolen van in California this summer.\\nIt was wonderful seeing the dog show community come together so quickly and demonstrate compassion and concern for their fellow competitors. This type of outpouring of love gives me faith in the future of dog shows. It was a massive relief when the dogs were found. I think we all hugged our beloved pets a little more during that whole ordeal.\\n\u2014Daniel Cartier\\nFor me, the person in the dog community that deserves a special gift, this year and every year, are for me\u2014the most special people. They are the junior members of all clubs. We talk about juniors being the future, but often it is just that\u2014talk. It could be something as simple as a thank you card. It could be a Junior Club Certificate (in other words a sheet of paper). Many clubs have holiday parties and some charge their members a fee, so for a junior it could be an invite with their meal paid by the club. Maybe it\u2019s a gift with the club logo (there are many options here). Maybe it\u2019s a free ad in their magazine. Truly there are so many options!\\nIn my opinion, the more ways we show that we appreciate our juniors, the better off each club and the sport will be. So\u2014there you go\u2014don\u2019t forget the Juniors this holiday season! \u2014Marlene Groves\\nThe gift? Best in Show at Westminster, of course! But my hat is off to Anne Bowes of Ladies\u2019 Dog Club who came up with the idea of a pilot program to educate Tufts veterinary students in the intricacies of purebred dogs and dog shows. Ladies\u2019 members Gale Cummings and Pattie Proctor (who is also an AKC rep) were on board at the Elm City Kennel Club (in Springfield, Massachusetts\u201411\/3\/18) to mentor the students, who had never been to a dog show, and didn\u2019t know anything about shows,\\nThe students got to see hundreds of well-bred, healthy dogs. For example, thanks to Dr. David Johnson and his wife Judi, the students were introduced to several Pugs that could actually breathe. They had been under the impression that brachycephalic breeds could not breathe properly.\\nThe host club invited students and mentors to join the judges for lunch, who explained the judging process. Students were given name tags, and provided with brochures from the AKC. AKC reps offered insight into the workings of the AKC and the dog fancy. All in all, they had a wonderful day, and wrote to Anne expressing their thanks, telling her they\u2019d like to come to another show and bring more students.\\nThis pilot program should implemented in all veterinary colleges working with nearby kennel clubs who have an interest in future veterinarians getting to know well-bred, purebred dogs.\\nWith PETA and HSUS preaching these days that dogs shouldn\u2019t even be kept as pets, now is the time to educate future veterinarians about the love and passion responsible breeders give their dogs.\\nAttending a dog show should be a requirement for graduation for students concentrating in small animal medicine. These students need to be mentored by knowledgeable dog club members and not just left to wander. This program could introduce students to potential, future patients in their practices.\\nBreeders will drive miles out of their way to take their dogs to a vet who knows purebred dogs and some of their inherant health problems and breed specific health testing.\\nBreeders will also travel great distances to breed for quality and health, sometimes across the country, sometimes shipping frozen semen, even from other countries, and many times at incredible expense to the breeder. Breeders\/fanciers are preservationists of purebred dogs, not in business for income.\\nIn addition to conformation, students can also learn about obedience, rally, agility, lure coursing, hunting trials, and hunting, etc.\u2014the activities that draw dog owners into the sport.\\nSo that special gift for the dog person? A standing ovation for Anne Bowes for coming up with such a fabulous idea! \u2014Anonymous\\nCarol Stone in Knightsen California, Suomi Finnish Spitz, and Stone\u2019s K9 boarding and grooming.\\nShe has gone above and beyond helping with evacuees and rescues from the fire that destroyed Paradise, California.

Who knew a shelf could be so much more? These transforming, smart and extremely useful designs are the perfect mix of functionality and aesthetics, making them perfect for every home!\\nDesigned to be compact enough to fit into any space, yet comfortable enough to have you sink right in with your favorite book, the Conch by Wei He comes with a molded-plywood inner body and a dual-density foam outer body, giving it structure as well as supple softness. The chair\u2019s form conforms to the contours of the body, allowing you to sit comfortably, while also conveniently having a storage unit right under you for everything from books to a cushion to other bric-a-brac.

With two wooden sleeves that slide against one another, The SHELF can be mounted on any drywall just simply by pushing it in. When you push forward, the outer sleeve slides towards the wall, prompting a mechanism in the inner sleeve to deploy incredibly small but powerful hooks that lock into the wall (I suspect they do this diagonally). When locked, they\u2019re so firm that the shelves can take the weight of two cinder blocks (the largest TheShelf can carry as much as 30 lbs) without breaking a sweat. If you ever want to relocate the shelf, just pulling the outer sleeve with moderate force allows the hooks to disengage, and the shelf to detach from the drywall.\\nIn urban homes, one often has to compromise on the kind of furniture they would like because there isn\u2019t enough space to have a separate piece for each function \u2013 in this case, Alessio Romano\u2019s Orte saves the space you would need for a full shelf and a mirror by blending them into one. Its limestone base supports a rotating wooden frame with the mirror on one side and six hidden shelves on the other. The pop of red brightens up the corner where the furniture will be and stretched oblong shape makes it easy to fit in any corner. It can be used as a dresser, a bookshelf, or the stuff you need to grab quickly without it being on display always.\\nThe KUR!O was featured here on YD after Markus Hofko of Von Morgen won a Gold A\u2019 Design Award, and has, since then, developed and refined into a product that consumers can now buy and own. The construction hasn\u2019t changed much fundamentally, but a few tweaks make it more durable and allow you to even dock dowels\/pegs into it to hang items like keys, photos, or that dreamcatcher you bought at the flea market. The base of the shape-shifting, the infinitely customizable shelf is its underlying grid, made from sandwiched wood-fiber boards. The cuts in the grid go as much as 20mm deep, allowing you press-fit powder-coated steel panels into it. The steel panels come in a variety of colors, giving the KUR!O its uniquely vibrant appeal, and feature carefully-placed cuts that let individual panels interlock into each other. The 2mm thick panels are heavy-duty enough to take on large loads, making the KUR!O robust, despite the fact that there isn\u2019t any screwing or gluing of parts.\\nThis conceptual side-display-table by Zinus Inc. comes either from a place of complete vanity or sheer creativity, but nevertheless, the Photo Table definitely feels like an instant must-have.

It was so clear, well-presented, and helpful. I appreciated the author\u2019s honesty and articulate explanation of the history of racial injustice and privilege, as well as suggested steps to remedy unbiblical thinking and behavior.\\nMy black South African husband read it as well and was very impressed.

I had the witticisms all lined up about it being a glistening slab of whale blubber that flops into my PO box every month, fat as a tick on the blood of sad, desperate galleries and artists who will pay anything, anything to get a full page ad in there, even if the work is shit and who cares anyway, and meanwhile the people behind it are wringing their hands about being part of the corrupting commercialism in the art world, but maybe that\u2019s cool anyway, since commercialism is art nowadays (original), so they just hold their noses all the way to the bank\u2026\\nBut I think I\u2019d rather be positive and talk about Matthew Collings.\\nI got lucky recently and stumbled into a subscription to Modern Painters (thank you Rachel Cook!), and in the two issues I\u2019ve received have become an insta-fan of Collings, who does a regular column at the front of the book. (Yes, Collings is already super-famous as a Turner Prize critic, among other things, and I\u2019m late to the game in finding his musings compelling.)\\nHis Modern Painters column really is very good, both in that good-for-me spinach-ey kind of way, but also in that junky, Sudoku kind of way.\\nIn the current issue, Collings basically says that the paintings of Gary Wragg (who?) are better than those of his former student and 11 million dollar man Peter Doig (whose paintings \u2014 if you need the reminder \u2014 are, according to Wikipedia, \u201camong Europe\u2019s most expensive\u201d).\\nThe magazine graciously reproduces two large images of paintings by each artist, so you can compare and contrast.\\nI admit to glancing at the pictures and disliking Wragg\u2019s work before I even read the piece, and liking Doig\u2019s stuff, before realizing it was his work. Collings suggests that such predictable reactions are the result of a taste that\u2019s been shaped by the fashions of the art world, and that the opportunity for chaos in Wragg\u2019s more colorful, abstract and expressionistic paintings is better than Doig\u2019s dreamy figures and landscapes executed in a tasteful, muted colorway. I\u2019m paraphrasing.\\nHere was my train of thought upon reading this:\\n1. \u201cMy God, he\u2019s right. I have been blinded by the collective, brainless art world. I am in lockstep with people I thought were The Other.\u201d\\n2. \u201cWait a minute. These Wragg paintings are weak, and even a gifted writer taking the unique tack of praising them over the hyper-hyped Doig isn\u2019t going to strengthen them.\u201d\\n3. \u201cHm. Maybe I don\u2019t like either of these guys\u2019 work. Maybe this is all a lot of high falutin\u2019 nonsense about work that doesn\u2019t deserve attention to begin with\u2026 like ArtForum!!!\u201d\\nI haven\u2019t resolved what I think about Collings\u2019 krazy unorthodoxy.

His early rep was built translating the glitz and slime of the YBA era both up and down; hence he can now smell a con ten miles off. He cuts through Sensational bullshit with adamantine precision. He takes no prisoners. I don\u2019t always agree with him \u2013 but like you, when I don\u2019t, I\u2019m left sincerely questioning why.\\nHe\u2019s famous in London in a way no art person ever could be in the US \u2013 TV shows and whatnot. I got to have cocktails with him once. He is very nice \u2013 though behind the wry smile, you get the sense that there is running Collings commentary going on in his bean, sizing you up\u2026which is funny, as that sounds like something Collings would write about meeting some other art world figure\u2026\\nYeah, it\u2019s funny to be introduced to him via his Modern Painters column, which I imagined as being written by someone older and far more tweedy. I would never have guessed he was so\u2026 hip. I\u2019m exposing my ignorance, I know, but if there are GT readers out there who, like me, have never heard of him (or at least don\u2019t remember having done), I\u2019d encourage them to check him out.\\nI like him.","question":"Who is Matthew Collings and what is his contribution to the art world?","answer":"Matthew Collings is a well-known figure in the art world, particularly famous as a Turner Prize critic.

But if you're a B2B business owner, ways to embrace the holiday season may not be so apparent. Unlike retailers who can deck their storefronts with holiday d\u00e9cor, you have limited options when it comes to leveraging the holiday season.\\nStill, that doesn't mean you should let your content marketing strategy hibernate for the holidays. Here are 10 tried-and-tested strategies for inspired, powerful B2B content marketing during the holiday season.\\nHoliday Marketing Tips for B2B Companies\\n1. Year's Trends\\nTrends aren't just for fashion anymore. You'll find trends wherever you go. New technology adoption and innovation drive trends, and B2B companies can take advantage of this theme to create holiday-related content. Shoppers love top-product lists, and so do B2B consumers. Use the holidays to provide insight into the best tools or software within your industry for the coming year. Similarly, you can also do a review of the year's best.\\n2. End-of-Year Countdowns\\nWhether it's the 12 days of Christmas or a countdown to the New Year, this theme can help you get in the spirit while staying true to your audience. Take a broad theme and break it down into multiple elements to create your countdown series. Whether you're sharing new tidbits or listing the top, best, or worst, you can stretch your content through the season.\\n3. The Year in Review\\nSo much shopping happens during the holiday season, it's no wonder consumers constantly look for product reviews. In the B2B world, reviews can take many forms including in-depth studies and analyses of software, tools, and small business technology. Reviewing the best and worst can be an instant attention-grabber for B2B prospects in the consideration stage of their buying cycle. If you own or operate a software or technology company, you can create engaging content around your favorite features or best new features of the year.\\n4. Holiday Characters\\nThe holiday season features both beloved and hated characters\u2014think Santa and Rudolph versus Scrooge and the Abominable Snowman. Add a well-known character to your content for instant holiday appeal while still staying relevant. Whether you use a character metaphorically or as an analogy, you can appeal to the holiday spirit by comparing or creating content from the perspective of a well-known holiday character.\\n5. End-of-Year or Beginning-of-Year Checklists\\nThe end of year is synonymous with checklists. Checklist-format content that covers important end-of-year to-dos within your industry is a simple way to provide value to your readers. Whether it's a checklist to finish out the year, or a checklist to start off the year right, your customers will thank you.\\n6. Holiday Giving\\nThe holidays represent a season of giving, and it's easy enough to give away something that offers value for readers without breaking the bank. Whether you give away a template, a free stock photo image, or a calendar, making your customers' and prospects' lives easier is a great way to get in the holiday spirit. Identify something useful for your target personas, and bundle it as a gift.\\n7. Pop Culture Themes\\nTake a creative risk with your content by embracing a holiday theme and speaking to your audience from a recognized point of view. Think popular pop culture or childhood themes like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and reinvent your content. Taking existing content like movie plots, children's books, or songs and injecting your topic or industry can be a creative risk worth taking.\\n8. Helpful Holiday Guides\\nWhile the holidays often mean a bit of downtime in many organizations, especially those outside consumer retail, things still need to get done during the holiday season. Create a useful guide on how to take advantage of the holidays to catch up or get ahead for the coming year.\\n9. Show Gratitude\\nEvery business has something to be thankful for, and you can create content that demonstrates how thankful you are for your customers. Whether it's snippets of customer testimonials or a graph of your company's growth, you can show your gratitude.

But wages, in the main, have not reacted as might be expected.\\nThey have generally either grown only modestly, or even fallen.\\nTake, for example, resurgent Germany. Since 2012, the unemployment rate has tumbled to the lowest level since reunification. Wages and salaries have grown -- but only gradually and at nothing like a rate to imply pressure.\\nIt is even clearer in Japan, where unemployment this year has fallen to a more than 20-year low of just 2.8 percent\\n\"Everything tells us the labour market is tight in Japan,\" said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics. \"(But) the one place we are not seeing labour market tightness in is wages, which aren't rising at all.\"\\nOne impact of this globally is that inflation has not picked up much despite the massive amount of stimulus hurled at it by central banks, including negligible or even negative interest rates. Indeed, it may be one reason why some banks appear to be less worried about low inflation than they were.\\nFor the worker, the lack of inflation has masked some of the wage stagnation. (It has only become a hot issue in Britain, for example, since inflation took off after the Brexit vote.)\\nBut this may not last. September's GfK sentiment index suggested German consumer morale may be about to cool as a result of a more negative expectation for incomes.\\nThe more-workers-less-pay-growth phenomenon, meanwhile, is the subject of a new report from International Monetary Fund economists Gee Hee Hong, Zsoka Koczan, Weicheng Lian and Malhar Nabar.\\nThey find the disconnect between unemployment and wages to be the result of a number of factors -- including the slowdown of productivity -- that are relatively new and which are probably not going to go away.\\nA key factor is an abundant workforce -- labour market slack in the jargon. But that is a seeming contradiction given the record low unemployment rates in some places.\\nIt comes down to people working fewer hours than they would like and the trend towards temporary contracts -- the gig economy, zero-hours contracts and so on.\\nThat leaves a large number of workers for companies to choose from if wage demands rise.\\n\"Despite employment growth, hours per worker have continued to decline and involuntary part-time employment has increased in more than two-thirds of countries,\" the IMF report notes.\\nA second factor is, in effect, the impact of globalisation and a more integrated global economy.\\nLocal labour slack is essentially only part of the picture.\\n\"(Playing a possible role are) the threat of plant relocation across borders, or an increase in the effective worldwide supply of labour,\" the economists found.\\nInterestingly, a third factor -- automation -- was not found by the IMF team to have had a major impact, at least yet.\\nThat may come later. In March, PwC consultants estimated that by 2030 automation will impact -- do away with or change -- 38 percent of existing jobs in the United States, 35 percent in Germany, 30 in Britain, and 21 in Japan.\\nSounds a long time away, but it is just over 12 years.\\nITALY NEXT\\nThe political impact of all this is unknown -- although Britain's Brexit vote, the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, and the rise of the far-right AfD in Germany all point at the very least to voter disenchantment with the status quo.\\nSo the next big test could be Italy, where unemployment is a stubborn 11.4 percent and wage growth has been running at negligible year-on-year rates. Italy will have to hold a general election by the end of May next year and an economy deemed to be weak or unequal could boost support for parties that at the very least have been critical of the euro.\\nAmong them are the 5-Star Movement, the Northern League and even former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia. Berlusconi recently raised the idea of a parallel currency to the euro.\\nThe coming week will give a snapshot of Italy's economy, with September's purchasing manager indexes (PMI) and the unemployment rate for August. There will also be retail sales data -- sometimes a test of voter contentment.\\nMeanwhile, there will be a global economic snapshot for the end of the third quarter, from PMI across the globe to U.S. payrolls. (Reporting by Jeremy Gaunt; Editing by Catherine Evans)","question":"What are some of the factors contributing to the disconnect between unemployment and wage growth according to the report from International Monetary Fund economists?","answer":"The disconnect between unemployment and wages is due to a number of factors including the slowdown of productivity, an abundant workforce or labour market slack, and the impact of globalisation and a more integrated global economy.

What exactly is a Senior's Loan?\\nA. A senior\u2019s equity loan or reverse mortgage as it is also know is a way of borrowing money\\nagainst the value of your home or investment property without having to make regular repayments. The loan is usually repaid out of the proceeds of the borrower\u2019s estate.\\nA. No. The title to the security property (your home or investment property) always remains in your name. The lender will register a mortgage over the property to secure their loan. This mortgage will be discharged when the loan is repaid.\\nA. This depends on your age. The minimum amount you can borrow is usually $10,000. The maximum amount will depend on your age and the value of your property. For example if you are aged 60 then you will be able to borrow approximately 15% of the value of your property as assessed by an independent valuer. If you are aged 80 you can borrow up to 35% of the value of your property.\\nA. You are not required to make any repayments until you either sell or transfer the home, or title to the home passes to your estate. Naturally you are required to maintain insurance on the property and keep it in good order.\\nA. You can choose a variable interest rate or you can choose to fix the interest rate for some or all of your loan. Rates change frequently and are different for each lender. It is not possible to quote an exact interest rate . If you would like an interest rate quote please contact us.\\nQ. What if I end up owing more than my property is worth?\\nA. No. Most reputable reverse mortgage providers give you a \u201cno negative equity pledge\u201d. This means that you will never be asked to repay more than the value of your home.\\nIn addition you can choose to protect a portion of the value of the home to pass onto heirs or to set aside for future healthcare expenses.\\nA. You can use the money for anything you wish. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to pay for overseas trips. You can use the money to live on to supplement your pension or even help your children or grandchildren if you wish. It is entirely up to you. Some reverse mortgage lenders will also lend for the payment of an accommodation bond needed for entry into a nursing home.\\nA. Fees and charges vary between lenders. Most lenders charge an application or establishment fee but this is usually deducted at settlement of your loan. You do not usually have to pay any up front fees. Most reverse mortgages do not have any ongoing monthly or annual fees.\\nA. The first step to finding the best reverse mortgage for your circumstances is to make an appointment with a Shire First Mortgages loan consultant. They will sit down with you and explain all of the different products helping you choose the best one.\\nIt is also important for you to speak with Centrelink about any implications a reverse mortgage may have on your pension entitlements.\\nYou will also be asked to get independent legal advice before signing any mortgage documents and we strongly advise that you discuss the matter with your family and also speak with a financial advisor if you have one.","question":"What is a senior's equity loan or reverse mortgage?","answer":"A senior\u2019s equity loan or reverse mortgage is a way of borrowing money against the value of your home or investment property without having to make regular repayments.

The Time Treadmill Ron Miles 12th Doctor13th DoctorBill PottsNardole Aug 06 2018 I did it! As of about 7:30 am this morning I completed watching every single episode of Doctor Who that has ever been broadcast (including reconstructions of the 97 currently-lost episodes), all while walking on a treadmill. During the past eighteen months I have taken 3,630,973 steps walking 1,897.84 miles, and watching 275 stories and 843 individual episodes. I have reached the end of Phase One of the Time Treadmill. So let's talk about the final (for now) episode. Twice Upon a Time (TARDIS Data Core recap) The 2017 Christmas episode features he final adventure of the Twelfth Doctor, leading up to his regeneration into the Thirteenth. Along the way he meets the First Doctor, who is also on the verge of regeneration. For most of the story it is not very Christmassy at all aside from some snow, but then it sticks the landing on the resolution with one of the most powerful (and true) Christmas stories ever told. The story opens beautifully a fantastic \"Previously on...\" sequence that you just have to see to appreciate: After the previous story with the original Mondasian Cybermen, it is fantastic to see the original originals again even briefly. David Bradley is an excellent stand-in for William Hartnell, although I thought the brief appearances of Ben and Polly were not quite as solid. In any case, I love this opening a lot. It is a real love letter to the distant past of the classic series. The rest of the story has a British soldier from the First World War swept up into the collision between the First and Twelfth Doctor's timelines, and a mysterious alien force trying to do... something? The crystal aliens offer to return Bill Potts to the Twelfth Doctor if he will simply return the soldier to the proper place to die. From there it's a whole lot of \"is this the real Bill Potts?\" and \"What is the evil plan of these crystal aliens?\" But mostly it is One and Twelve contemplating their place in the universe, and trying to decide whether or not to regenerate. In the end there turns out to be no evil plan at all, simply a database of every living sentient human in history. It is a surprising twist, well done. Also in the end, the soldier turns out to be Captain Lethbridge-Stewart, presumably the Brigadier's grandfather. When the soldier is returned to the battlefield to die, the Doctor fudges the time just enough so that he winds up in the middle if the Christmas Armistice, when the Germans and the English laid down their weapons for a day and made peace in the no-man's land between the trenches. It is a lovely, lovely moment and a perfect choice of setting for this particular story. And then, of course, the First Doctor goes on his way to carry on with his first regeneration, and the Twelfth Doctor goes on his way to become Thirteen. And yes, it is brilliant. I am 100% on Team Jodie Whittaker, I think she is going to be a fantastic Doctor and that Chris Chibnall is going to do amazing things with the show. I guess we will find out in about two more months. So that's it, Phase one complete. Tomorrow I will write a bit more about the entire experience and my plans going forward, but for tonight this is it. I don't know exactly what tomorrow will bring, but I know it definitely won't include an hour on the treadmill. I am staying off that damn thing for at least a week.

Redefine the standard of care at end of life.\\nThis compact statement is everything required to support us all in achieving the peaceful demise virtually all of us say we want, yet barely an inverse number achieve. It\u2019s so simple, and so profound.\\nBarbara\u2019s phrase takes the act of redefining language\u2014my launching point when conceiving and discussing how to advocate when hospitalized, and how to achieve a peaceful demise\u2014to a fully dimensional place. Because language, no matter it\u2019s power, is less dimensional than action. Language, as powerful as it is in framing our expectations and thoughts, merely informs action. Action in medicine equals treatment. Treatment is fully dimensional. We act on language; we experience treatment. We die, and survivors live, with the results of treatment choices we make, or fail to make.\\nThe advent of life support technologies in the 1960s and development of a home for them (the intensive care unit, or ICU) has its clinically logical extension in the chronic ICU facility, with floors of beds for dozens or hundreds of comatose bodies maintained on life support).\\nApplying this technology endlessly, some would say mindlessly, at the end of life has evolved into the standard of care. But by whose definition?\\nThe irony of American culture is that we seem to pay homage to the notion of individuality yet in many matters, especially how we exit this planet, we traipse along like lemmings. Medicine has defined the EOL standard of care. By and large citizens have acquiesced to medicine\u2019s definition, even with survivors from family after family recoiling from their experiences.\\nMy mantra bears repeating: we actually have to do something in order to increase the likelihood of dying in peace. I begin to articulate what it is we must do here and here.\\nPart of my language assessment is that our experience of treatment does not feel like or equate to care. Yet providers believe that the treatment they offer equals care. Now, we\u2019ll never strip the letters \u2018care\u2019 from the healthcare conversation, for evident reason. But we can examine and clarify obfuscating language so as not to lose the first week of a terminal (or any) hospitalization to bewilderment over what is not happening and what is happening.\\nWhat constitutes the standard of care has been invisible, like the air in a flotation device. The device is nothing without the air, yet we never think or speak in terms of that air, only the floaty. But redefining the standard of care is something we can act on and influence. Because that\u2019s about agreement, and consent or refusal to consent. That\u2019s our personal, social, and legal right. The right to informed consent at end of life is being slowly codified into law. But that\u2019s all about the provider side. What about the citizen side?\\nTHE missing voice from panel after panel about EOL matters is ours: citizens\u2019. By \u201ccitizens\u201d I mean informed citizens; patient-family members who\u2019ve been through the forest and have mapped it. Articulate people who\u2019ve transformed from harmed persons into patient advocates or activists. We have insightful comments to add because we have deeply parsed the kinds of experiences you really do not want your patient-family to have.\\nWe\u2019re out here. Some, like me, have been recognized by the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI), a well-respected non-profit responsible for significant advances inpatient safety. Redefining the standard of care requires more than panels of medical and policy experts with no informed citizen representation.\\nPatient advocates bring a different voice to the conversation. I suspect our voice is regarded as scary by panel hosts (if not many panelists) because it necessarily comes from gut level. This implies real feeling, but does not imply craziness. Ours is the voice of passionate clarification, not the dispassionate voice of the clinic or the legislature.\\nThe simple truth is this: including the informed citizens\u2019 voice in every panel discussion is the first step towards redefining the end-of-life standard of care.","question":"What did Barbara Coombs Lee suggest to help more people die in peace?","answer":"Barbara Coombs Lee suggested that to help more people die in peace we need to \u201credefine the standard of care at end of life.\u201d"} {"context":"Future Students\\nCurrent Students\\nFaculty & Staff\\nAlumni\\nFriends, Visitors & Community\\nA-Z Index\\n|\\nContact Info\\n|\\nSearch\\nDes Penny\\nProfessional Information\\nEducation\\nPh.D., Civil Engineering, 1975, University of Utah.\\nM.Sc.

Workers were so relieved to stay employed or to get any kind of job offer that many never considered bargaining for more.\\nBut the honeymoon may be over.\\nToday, growing companies must learn to compete for talent with companies of all sizes, everywhere in the world, in all arenas, including employee compensation. Here's a roundup of small business compensation trends and challenges for 2015.\\nInequitable pay can be toxic. Inequity in pay can be particularly destructive to employee morale and loyalty in small firms where it's hard to keep secrets.\\n\u201cCompanies definitely should be concerned about pay equity, but this often gets neglected,\" says Elissa Tucker, research program manager for human capital management at business research nonprofit APQC. \"People will get disengaged quickly if new hires come in at a significantly higher rate. This is easy to overlook.\u201d\\nFixed pay, high attrition? Performance-based compensation, long popular for most businesses of any size, is, in 2015, a virtual necessity. Still, some 28 percent of small companies do not offer variable pay incentives, according to the PayScale 2015 Compensation Best Practices report.\\nWhy? \"Small business owners have a lot of balls in the air -- they may not thinking holistically about the elements of pay,\" says Tim Low, Vice President of Marketing at consulting firm Payscale.\\n\"Small businesses worry more about the risks of variable pay, but it's the market trend.\" In the past, this has meant the average salary at many small companies has lagged in relation to the overall market. Of course, failing to pay for performance raises another risk: attrition of top performers.\\nVariable pay: Ever broader and deeper. In 2015, it's not enough to offer to performance-based pay to just a few top managers. \"Variable pay has been broadened to include all employees in many organizations,\" says Ken Abosch, a partner with consulting firm Aon Hewitt. \"Average variable pay has reached a record high level of 12 percent of total pay.\"\\nWhich variable-pay schemes are winning? Small businesses often gravitate to the simplest kind of performance bonuses: spot bonuses granted spontaneously for a job well done this month or even today. But such bonuses may not align well with the company's long-term strategy, and they can appear arbitrary.\\nThere are superior options, though they require more work to implement. \"Individual performance bonuses for reaching specific goals are very popular,\" says Abosch. \"The most popular performance-based bonus rewards a mix of company, business unit and individual achievements.\"\\nCompany owners may not make the best compensation managers. With competition for talent heating up, small-business chiefs should consider getting expert advice on their compensation plans. Because when owners set pay on their own, \" 'intuitively' would be the diplomatic word for how they do it,\" says Tim Low at PayScale. \"The personality type is not afraid to dive in.\"\\nSome 52 percent of small-company chiefs set pay structures themselves, according to PayScale's 2015 Compensation Best Practices report. Larger companies are more likely to have a human resources manager or executive with expertise in compensation.\\nSmall companies win big talent with bigger money. Small business can win against larger ones in talent skirmishes -- if they've got the payroll budget. \"In the last five to eight years, Atlanta has seen a group of more entrepreneurial, very profitable organizations that are keeping their people ahead of the comp curve,\" says Frank Green, president of search firm ExecuSearch.\\nGreen is currently working with two candidates interviewing for jobs at smaller companies: one could land a $16,000 increase for a position in healthcare finance; the other is campaigning for a senior accounting role that would come with a $40,000 raise.\\nTotal compensation statements: High value, low cost. Often overlooked, individualized total compensation statements, distributed to all employees annually, are a wise (and inexpensive) way to remind staff that their compensation is more than just the \"net pay\" line on the pay stub.\\n\"Total compensation statements help management communicate the full value of what you\u2019re giving them,\" says Low. \"The ability to enumerate all the elements may open employees\u2019 eyes to the value of healthcare, dental, and vision insurance, and so on.\u201d According to PayScale\u2019s 2015 compensation survey, 58 percent of respondents reported that they do not offer them.\\nPayroll alert for 2016: Health insurance requirement. Under the Affordable Care Act, if your business has between 50 and 99 employees or reaches that headcount in 2015, you'll be required to provide health insurance to full-time workers in 2016, or pay a tax penalty. (Unless this requirement is postponed, again.)\\nIn any case, if you don't insure your workers now, start planning for this major payroll expense and think about how you can leverage that investment to attract better workers -- and retain employees.","question":"What are the potential consequences of inequitable pay in small businesses?","answer":"Inequity in pay can be particularly destructive to employee morale and loyalty in small firms where it's hard to keep secrets.

They can thank the Fed.\\nInvestors in credit hedge funds, which are generally designed to provide stability to portfolios, had a wild ride in 2020. If not for the Fed, it could have been a lot wilder.\\nIn March, when markets cratered as global economies shut down because of Covid-19, PivotalPath\u2019s mortgage-backed securities and structured credit index \u2014 which represents hedge funds invested in the sector \u2014 plummeted 18.6 percent. But the category has mostly recovered since then: PivotalPath\u2019s index is down 1.8 percent for the year as of the end of November. Investors should thank the U.S. Federal Reserve for that, PivotalPath\u2019s CEO says.\\n\u201cWe were on the precipice,\u201d said Jon Caplis, CEO of hedge fund research and data firm PivotalPath, in an interview. \u201cBut [Fed chair Jerome] Powell moved so quick, with such power, and he unfroze these markets that could have taken us down into the abyss. Every one of these credit strategies would have been destroyed from structured credit to any of these illiquid funds. There would have been no market for so much of this stuff for a while.\u201d\\nCaplis was referring to moves made in late March, when the Fed, with $75 billion in backing from the U.S. Treasury, announced programs to stabilize the credit markets. The central bank said it would buy newly issued bonds as well as exchange-traded funds that held corporate debt. With credit markets in disarray at the time, the Fed programs were designed, among other things, to help investors and managers avoid fire-sales and other indiscriminate selling.\\nAccording to PivotalPath, the MBS and structured credit index has posted gains every month since the low in March. In April, the index gained 1.75 percent; in May, it returned 3.9 percent; and in June it posted a 4.42 percent gain. From July to October, the index increased by 1.4, 1.6, 1.3, and 0.8 percent, respectively. In November, the index racked up a gain of 2.8 percent.\\n[II Deep Dive: Credit Hedge Funds Can\u2019t Figure Out What They\u2019re Worth]\\nIn some ways, it was the first big test of the credit markets since their transformation after the global financial crisis. Since 2008, banks have curbed much of their riskiest lending, with hedge funds and others filling the void. At the same time, banks also stepped back from their role as principal market makers and buying up debt in falling markets.\\nIn late April, PivotalPath got a delayed warning about the extent of problems with credit hedge funds. Only about one-third of funds focused on structured credit and mortgage-backed securities had calculated a net asset value \u2014 the portfolio's worth \u2014 and provided that information to PivotalPath.\\nCaplis said investors need to do significant due diligence on credit managers to determine their ability to negotiate any trouble in the fixed income markets, including their skill with potential workouts and their relationships with counter-parties, including prime brokers that may demand additional collateral when securities prices fall.\\nWhile March was unique in that few could have foreseen a global pandemic, inexperienced credit managers could be challenged in the future by something as simple as an unexpected rise in interest rates after years of being near record lows, Caplis said.\\n\u201cThere\u2019s some big asymmetric tail risk in these funds. It\u2019s the proverbial picking up pennies in front of the steamroller,\u201d Caplis said. \u201cThen all of a sudden you lose everything you made over the last five years in a matter of a month or three months. That\u2019s what the Fed bailed us out of in a major way in March and April of this year.\u201d","question":"How did the U.S. Federal Reserve help stabilize credit hedge funds during the 2020 economic downturn?","answer":"The U.S. Federal Reserve, with $75 billion in backing from the U.S. Treasury, announced programs to stabilize the credit markets.

Haselton performs a type of domestic alchemy that renders everyday and often overlooked materials curious. This act of making the familiar strange is indebted to the French surrealists, whose influence has prevailed well into the twenty-first century.\\nThese two drawings are made using correction fluid (customarily used to conceal rather than reveal) and butterfly wings collected by the artist from her garden over several months. The resulting imagery recalls the eye balloons of French Symbolist painter Odilon Redon and the emotive contour drawing of Louise Bourgeois.\\nNearby James Cant's still-life painting from 1935 shows the influence of surrealism and was made in the year he was included in an exhibition with Max Ernst, Paul Klee and Giorgio de Chirico. Cant succeeds in transforming an anodyne still-life subject into a suggestive image. As in Haselton's work, the central form seems ocular and the darkened, disquieting background suggests the abyss.\\nThe following is an extract from an interview between artist Louise Haselton and author Michael Newall. This interview was published on the occasion of the 2011 SALA exhibition Errand Workshop, a solo exhibition by Haselton held at the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia (CACSA), Adelaide.\\nMichael Newall: In The New New statement, you write: 'My work is a process of gathering prosaic materials and then sitting in the studio with them as they move around, group themselves, rearrange and settle into comfortable situations.' The idea of materials apparently grouping and rearranging themselves sounds at first like a figure of speech, but you also mention that you have an interest in animism, which in 2009 prompted you to visit Nagaland in India. That makes me think this is a phenomenon that you take seriously and have reflected on at length. I\u2019m curious to know your views on it and what you feel you learnt about it in Nagaland.\\nLouise Haselton: Yes, the idea of materials grouping and arranging themselves is a figure of speech. But I do feel directed by the materials and objects that I gather and spend time with; they all have their own life and energy that I draw from. Maybe it\u2019s a way of giving over some of the responsibility of the art-making process. It\u2019s quite a solitary process: I don\u2019t discuss the works much while they\u2019re being made, the materials themselves become active in the process. Ideas of animism are at play here as well, I guess. You ask what I learnt about animism when visiting Nagaland recently \u2013 one thing that struck me (and this is something that\u2019s occurred to me in various situations when I\u2019ve visited India) is that there is somehow a lack of separation of things.\\nIt makes me feel that I am preoccupied with separating or categorising my experience of the world and often in India things are thrown together \u2013 maybe what I\u2019m seeing is another way of categorising, different to schemas I would see in my own world. Although in Nagaland and elsewhere in India there is an ongoing belief in animism, this often coincides with a belief in Hindu or Christian gods \u2013 a lack of separation that may be problematic elsewhere. An imbuing of natural objects, often trees and rocks, with spirit or force is one that seemed very palpable and kind of reassuring \u2013 I love the idea that rocks can animate and breed \u2013 a rock orgy. What a sight! Some communities believe rocks to be vehicles of fertility \u2026\\nWhen I was in Nagaland it was foggy, the days were short and the sky was very close to the ground, it seemed right that the natural world was living its own life. There was a lack of separation between armature and ornament in many devotional objects that attracted me. Rocks had been, and were continuing to be, covered in silver leaf, paper, thread; trees were wrapped totally in woollen or cotton thread. The underlying object was often not visible at all but wholly smothered by the covering material. It did seem that the original tree or rock was revered but needed to be controlled as well. It was a total unification of elements, but also an annihilation of the underlying object.\\nMN: Reappraising the cast-off and overlooked seems a kind of strategy in your work. Is that right? It seems at the root of many of the pleasurable surprises and uneasy moments your work delivers.\\nLH: Yes, re-presenting the overlooked is important in my work. I\u2019m interested to see if the simple act of presenting something cast off can be restorative. It\u2019s very satisfying to scrounge for unloved materials and objects and then resuscitate them. That can be simply through giving them new company, by combining a rock with some packaging, say, or some shells with chain; to point to another life or function something could hold. The potential of things can lie latent and be animated through a simple act.\\nMichael Newall is lecturer in History and Philosophy of Art at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. He is the author of What is a Picture? (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) and many articles on art and aesthetics. From 2001 to 2004 he was program co-ordinator at the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia.","question":"What is the unique approach of artist Louise Haselton in her art practice?","answer":"Louise Haselton performs a type of domestic alchemy that renders everyday and often overlooked materials curious.

It was the first time in at least a week that he could really relax.\\nThat was because the letter of intent from defensive end T.J. Clemmings -- of Paterson Catholic in New Jersey and the last of the four players from whom Hafley had received a verbal commitment to play football at Pitt -- had rolled off the fax machine minutes before. That meant Hafley's work was finished, at least for a day or so.\\n\"You feel like a kid on Christmas morning, waking up early, wanting to be here near the fax machine and anxiously awaiting those letters,\" Hafley said. \"I haven't slept in like a week. It is part of the pressure of this job, but I love it. You have all these guys who you've invested a year, sometimes two, in talking to and recruiting and getting to know and they tell you they are coming, but you never really know until that letter comes in.\"\\nHafley and the rest of Pitt's staff -- just like the coaching staffs at most every college in the country -- spent a lot of the morning hanging around the fax machine, waiting to get letters of intent from high school athletes.\\nIt is part of an annual ritual for college coaches, a day that is part celebration for a job well done and part relief, because the players who said they were coming actually are.\\nWednesday, however, was rather uneventful for the Panthers as signing days go because the staff had secured so many commitments so early and few recruits even hinted that they might be wavering.\\nIn fact, Clemmings was the only one about whom there was even a little bit of a question, and that had a lot more to do with the competition -- he is the top-rated player in New Jersey by a number of scouting services and he several offers.\\nThat's why the loudest cheer -- or, more accurately, sigh of relief -- came when his letter finally came through the fax machine at the South Side football offices at 9:50 a.m.\\nUntil that moment, Hafley paced, nervously checked his phone and his text messages and returned to the fax machine to see if it was plugged in and turned on. That's the nature of the job when your livelihood is dependent on the decisions of 18-year-olds.\\n\"Man, at one point I wanted to make sure there was paper in that thing,\" joked Hafley, who has been a big part of helping Pitt establish itself in New Jersey. \"The worst thing that can happen is, you have to tell your boss that one of your guys isn't coming. But the great thing about working with coach [Dave] Wannstedt is, he's been through it for so long that he understands -- sometimes stuff happens with these kids.\"\\nEarlier in the day, the coaches tried to guess who would be the first recruit to send his letter after the signing period opened at 7 a.m.\\nWould anyone break junior quarterback Pat Bostick's record? His letter arrived at about \"7 a.m. and two seconds\" on his signing day, according to unofficial records. At 7:02 a.m., the first letter -- from Brandon Sacco, a lineman from Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey -- came rolling off the fax machine.\\nSurprisingly, there were few snags -- a snowstorm closed two of the schools attended by three recruits and they weren't able to fax their letters until early afternoon -- but that has a lot to do with the fact that Pitt's program has stabilized under Wannstedt and its days of having to scramble for players are long gone.\\nThe coaches told many stories about good surprises on signing day -- players who signed with Pitt who were supposed to sign elsewhere -- as well as bad. Some of the old guard talked about the gloominess of signing day a few years back when five commitments, all of them top players, backed out and signed elsewhere.\\nThen there were the strange stories, like the one about defensive end Jabaal Sheard, who told the coaches he was walking to the fax machine to send the letter and apparently kept walking, right out the doors of his school.\\n\"I had just got a commitment from him the night before,\" Wannstedt said while sitting in his office taking in the events of the day. \"And so we were feeling good. Then he just froze up and disappeared. Nobody could find him all day long, it took us until like 3 or 4 p.m. until we located him and he said he just didn't know what to do. It was like he went into hiding. We ultimately got him, but that made for some very nervous moments.\\n\"If you look at where we are now, we've already begun on next year's class because those days of having six scholarships to fill the day before are over. I think our program is on the rise and we're to the point where we know what we are looking for and we secure the players we need early enough that signing days will hopefully be uneventful, other than the usual -- a kid forgets to sign something or whatever -- from now on.\"\\nWannstedt has been a master at reeling in late commitments in recent years. Some of the best players he has signed are ones he got to commit in the week leading up to signing day after winning long, drawn-out recruiting wars.\\nAnd that part of it, the act of closing the deal, is his speciality. That's one of the reasons he's known as one of the top recruiters in the country. It is also the part he enjoys the most. So next year, he might opt to add a little drama to signing day.\\n\"I really wish we had one left because, I'll be honest, I missed that part of the game,\" Wannstedt said, smiling. \"Next year, maybe I'll hold one or two back for the late January push so that I can get back into the game a little bit more. I'm probably one of the few coaches who gets in every single commitment's home and I call them all the night before signing day, but there is something about being able to close the deal on a guy who has a lot of other coaches calling him that makes recruiting a little bit more special to me.\"\\nPaul Zeise: pzeise@post-gazette.com or 412-263-1720.

Once it takes hold it can metastasize to any fabric within sight, and the persistence of its odor makes even the most priceless article into shop rags.\\nI recently bought a vintage hat from overseas and it fouled the room when I opened the parcel. It needed aggro, preferably olive green cleaning. Hydrocarbon cleaning is a \u201cgreen cleaning\u201d process recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency. In keeping with this blog\u2019s tone I will eschew \u201cgreen cleaning\u201d for \u201cgreener\u201d because the former is an oxymoron and you should distrust anyone who uses it.\\nI found Meurice Garment Care through the EPA website\u2019s dated (2001) list of \u201cgreen cleaners.\u201d I had used another wetcleaner for a different mildewed antique purchase with unsatisfactory results. Hydrocarbon is lower-impact than PERC, according to this technical but interesting 2005 IRTA research paper.\\nHydrocarbon cleaning costs are comparable to PERC for drycleaners. At Meurice you must request hydrocarbon. Being less aggressive, it can clean more materials (including leather, which was in the lining of my cap) than PERC, can be used on dyes that may bleed, and leaves a softer hand to the fabric. The process uses less energy, and using tonsil (an absorbent medium) it is even more efficient.\\nMeurice uses detergent instead of tonsil, which another IRTA paper as well found can create aquatic toxicity. Asked about this, a Meurice manager said that their waste water is carbon filtered and evaporated, presumably leaving only distilled wastewater. He did not concur with the research papers\u2019 findings that tonsil can clean with solvent as well as detergent.\\nCalifornia\u2019s HESIS (Health Evaluation System & Information Service) found hydrocarbon solutions to be no more toxic than solvents in general; they still emit VOCs (volatile organic compounds) but \u201cdo not pose risks of cancer and are not selective reproductive or developmental toxicants.\u201d As such hydrocarbon is not the greenest solution, but is more commonplace than quasi-mythical liquid carbon dioxide, which also requires a larger drycleaning operation and deserves separate research.\\nMy cap had fit snugly, and Meurice balanced fear of shrinkage with mildew remediation to such an extent that they confirmed twice before cleaning. The webbing of mildew along the leather trim was gone, almost all of the suffocating fetor removed, and only a faint detergent fragrance and solvent off-gas remained, the latter of which was gone with some airing.\\nPingback: DIY Drycleaning | Art of Olive Green","question":"What is the cleaning process recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency for antique clothing?","answer":"The Environmental Protection Agency recommends hydrocarbon cleaning for antique clothing."} {"context":"This car is in the Dragone Auctions Greenwich Car Event Weekend Auction on Saturday May 30th.

And, the Tidland brand provides equipment for slitting different types of web-based products as well as the specialty shafts that are used to support the different types of product rolls.\\n\u201cIn web control, we\u2019re usually talking about rolls of product rotating at different speeds, feeding a web that needs to be guided and have its tension controlled with varying levels of precision and stability,\u201d Walker says. \u201cSo there is a lot of physics and engineering mechanics as well as electrical engineering that goes into it. To properly select the products that a customer is going to use, you need to apply a lot of the things that you learn through the engineering disciplines.\\nIn addition to the components that control tension and guide the webs, there are also special shafts that are used to support the product rolls. We recently dealt with one that is 24-feet long and 12 inches in diameter. These can be used to support the large paper rolls for a paper mill, which can weigh eight to 10,000 pounds. Other special shafts may need to be balanced to a G1 tolerance which is a very tight rotating balancing tolerance. The tight balancing tolerance is required due to the size of the rolls and the high speeds at which it can rotate, to prevent vibration and maintain stability in the control of the web. \u201d\\nWalker graduated with an electrical engineering degree with an emphasis in biomedical engineering.

So what do we think of the update and the new additions it gives to the system?\\nThis update gives PlayStation 3 users a mix bag of enhancements and features, including Text Chat, Copy and Paste and the ability to copy videos downloaded from the store to an external storage device for those who are running out of space on their hard drives. The latter is a US-only feature at present, since the video store hasn\u2019t been launched elsewhere.\\nLet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s start with the highlight of the firmware \u2013 Text Chat. Unlike the standard message system, Text Chat is like the PSN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s version of Windows Live Messenger. You can chat to your friends and keep track of the conversation all on one screen.\\nWhat we love about this in particular is you can go into a game and providing the text chat window was the last thing you opened in the XMB, switch between Killzone 2 and chatting to your mates with ease, simply by pressing the PS Button.\\nUnfortunately this enhancement to the PlayStation Network is far from perfect. Sony seems to have taken inspiration from Twitter by taking its tiny character limit and cutting it in half, making meaningful conversations a little difficult.\\nIn fact, we think poor character limits in particular is a recurring problem throughout the free online service. Both Online ID comments and the standard messaging system have character limits that are too small, which is frustrating and maybe is something that Sony should really improve soon in the future.\\nWith the amount of games and videos you can find on the store, we fail to see how increasing the character limits, even by just a small amount, would put any real extra strain on the servers.\\nIn fact it is this very firmware update that has increased the size limit for files you send to friends via PSN messages, which further confuses us when thinking of the character limit.\\nWe also have another suggestion for the Text Chat feature; most instant messaging systems tell you when someone in the conversation is typing a message, so perhaps Sony could introduce this too? Even with these failings, Text Chat is still a great new addition to the PS3.\\nA further enhancement that Sony has introduced to the Friends List is a new sort option. You can now sort your friends by their name, no matter what their status is. In our view sorting by status is still the best option, but this has also been modified; offline friends are now sorted by their last sign in, with the most recent on the top.\\nWe like the change as it makes it easy to sort past those friends who never come online, and also like the fact that \u2018pending response\u2019 friends have been moved to the top \u2013 useful when meeting and adding new people online.\\nThe Internet Browser in v2.70 has gained some minor tweaks as well. You can now copy text and URLs, in a similar way to how Apple are adding copy and paste to the iPhone. Once you have copied something, you can then easily paste it into a message.

Come to think of it, I rarely see or eat fudge anywhere else\u2026\\nBut that all changed recently when I realized that 1) I want fudge even when I\u2019m not at the beach 2) freezer fudge does NOT take hours to make and 3) fudge can be a healthy, filling sweet treat you can enjoy regularly at home! In fact, this healthy cookie dough freezer fudge is:\\n- Loaded with filling fiber\\n- Packed with protein\\n- Rich in healthy fats\\n- Low carb and low in added sugar\\nAnd it\u2019s made from just a handful of simple ingredients, like cashew butter and tahini.\\nWhat is tahini?\\nThis recipe calls for one extra special ingredient: tahini. Ta-what?! Tahini, aka sesame seed paste, is made from ground toasted sesame seeds and is a staple ingredient in mediterranean and Middle eastern dishes.\\nThink you\u2019ve never had tahini before? Think again! Tahini is a main component of good ol\u2019 hummus! Yep, that same hummus you\u2019ve ordered as an appetizer at a restaurant or picked up from your local grocery store.\\nIs tahini healthy?\\nTahini is highly nutritious. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, like your B vitamins, and is a rich source of heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats. Plus, it\u2019s super versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes both savory and sweet!\\nHow to make freezer fudge\\nThis no-bake freezer fudge is a cinch to make! If you\u2019ve got 15 minutes to spare, then you can whip up a batch no problemo.\\nFirst, you\u2019ll want to combine all of your ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a medium-sized mixing bowl.\\nMix everything until well-combined and smooth, then fold in about half of the chocolate chips.\\nPour the mixture into a parchment-lined bread pan and place in the freezer for about 5 minutes to firm up just a tad. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips and sea salt.\\nPlace back in the freezer and that\u2019s it!\\nHow to store freezer fudge\\nAs the name implies, you\u2019ll want to store this fudge in the freezer! Be sure to keep it in an air-tight freezer-safe container or bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months, but I doubt there will be any left after a week!\\nKeep in mind, the fudge does soften quickly once it\u2019s taken out of the freezer so be sure to eat it right away.\\nWhat you\u2019ll need to make this Healthy Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge\\nYou only need a handful of ingredients to whip up this healthy cookie dough freezer fudge!\\n- Tahini: Look for a tahini with just sesame seeds listed as the ingredient. One of my favorites is this Soom Foods tahini. In most grocery stores, you can find tahini in the aisle with ethnic foods and\/or in the nut butter section.\\n- Cashew butter: I prefer cashew butter over almond butter in this recipe because of the taste and texture. Look for a no-sugar-added, unsweetened cashew butter. I love this Target brand one.\\n- Maple syrup: Maple syrup is my favorite unrefined sweetener (you can read more about refined vs unrefined sugar here). Use pure maple syrup here, not pancake syrup!\\n- Chocolate chips: I use Lily\u2019s Dark Chocolate Chips in this recipe to keep it low in added sugar and low carb. These chocolate chips are sweetened with stevia and erythritol.\\n- You\u2019ll also need: a little coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a hefty sprinkle of sea salt!\\nSubstitutions:\\n- Nut allergy: Use sunflower seed butter instead of cashew butter, or you can omit and use one whole cup of tahini instead. Be sure to look for a no-sugar-added brand such as this Once Again Unsweetened Sunflower Seed Butter.\\n- Gluten-free: Good news! This recipe as written is gluten-free.\\n- Vegan: Good news! This recipe as written is vegan. However, if you decide to use a different brand of chocolate chips and are following a vegan diet, be sure to check the ingredients for any dairy products (i.e. milk).\\nLet\u2019s get cooking! If you make this recipe, I\u2019d love it if you share your thoughts in the comments section below and tag me (@shapedbycharlotte) on the \u2018gram!\\nHealthy.\\nIngredients\\n- 1\/2 cup tahini\\n- 1\/2 cup cashew butter*\\n- 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted\\n- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup\\n- 1 tsp vanilla extract\\n- 1\/4 cup collagen powder (optional)\\n- 1\/3 cup dark chocolate chips (I use Lily's)\\n- Sprinkle of sea salt\\nInstructions\\n- Combine the first 6 ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until well-combined and smooth.\\n- Fold in half of the chocolate chips.\\n- Line an 8x4\" or 9x5\" bread pan with parchment paper. Pour mixture into bread pan and place in the freezer for about 5 minutes.\\n- Carefully, remove bread pan from the freezer and sprinkle top with remaining chocolate chips and a hefty sprinkle of sea salt.\\n- Place bread pan back in the freezer until completely firm, about 1 to 2 hours.\\n- Cut into 10 squares, and store in the freezer.\\nNotes\\n*You can use peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter here if you don't like cashew butter.\\nBe sure to use nut butter from a recently opened jar. What I mean by this is you don't want to use the \"bottom of the jar\" stuff that's extra hard and dried up. And be sure to give it a good stir before measuring because we don't want it to be too oily, either.\\nThanks for reading! Did you make one of my recipes?

I've come to realize that he is so far behind!! It's like the schools just passed him along. His grades never even got bad until the 5th grade. His behavior was getting worse and his grades were dropping, so I did what I felt was right.. and thank goodness I did! His math is barely at a 3rd grade level! He's 12 years old.. already a lot older than other 5th graders due to his birthday being late in the year and he was held back in kindergarten because off not being at the proper maturity levels. I need help. I'm so worried about his future. How do I get him on the fastrack to being where a 12 year old should be? I've dropped his Math, Science, and Social Studies to a 4th grade level... he does very well in 5th grade Language Arts & Extentions. I'm sick with worry...\\nHere's some good news: middle school can be used as a time of \"catching up\".\\nMost children have already learned to read, write a paragraph, and do the four basic math functions by then. If yours hasn't, he has plenty of time before high school to catch up.\\nDon't be in a huge hurry. That will put too much pressure on both of you. If he's at a third grade level in math, let him do the third grade level, at a normal pace. Next year, he might be a sixth grader doing fourth grade math. The following year, as a seventh grader, he might be doing fifth grade math, and he'll complete sixth grade math (which is challenging for many adults) as an eighth grader. That will prepare him to take a basic math class as a freshman (for kids who find math challenging) and leave three high school years to fit in some algebra or geometry. He'll be fine.\\nThis is from a homeschooling mom whose kids are math challenged: We took the slow-and-steady route and three of them have graduated from our homeschool and have done just fine in college algebra.\\nIt's good that you have him home, so you can provide some one-on-one tutoring and allow him to proceed at his own rate, without feeling he's a failure. Of course, this all assumes that math is actually challenging for him. If he's being lazy, that's another matter.\\nThanks OP for asking this question and thank you, Kelly for the great answer!! I know it has put some of my fears to rest!!\\nYes Great answer Kelly!!\\nI agree try not to worry to much and force him to work a grade level he is not ready for. It is better to take him back a few grades and let him learn the work correctly.\\nIf you want him to catch up faster you could school year round. We personally school year round and really like the freedom of taking breaks when we want to and this allows the kids to work more at thier own pace .\\nPlease keep us updated about how he is doingRoadschooling Mom to DD & DS\\nThis is what happened to my son\/sons when we pulled them from 6th and 5th grades. We already knew my older son was behind in Math, its his worst subject but we didnt realize HOW behind he was. I was very sad and angry for him. T4L really made a difference with him. We pulled him from 6th grade in Oct. and by June he was finishing and understanding Math for his grade level! It still isnt his best subject and we are kinda at a road block with it right now BUT..... I feel that pulling him was the best thing we did!\\nHUGS and Happy Homeschooling to you!\\nI've asked similar questions in the past (we're...\\nLimiting Lesson Quizzes to only 1 try?","question":"Why did the parent decide to homeschool their 5th grader?","answer":"The parent decided to homeschool their 5th grader because his behavior was getting worse and his grades were dropping.

This paper describes the use of Cambridge Weight Plan Low energy liquid diet (800kcal\/d) as an initial intervention to achieve weight loss in people with pre-diabetes based in eight centres around the globe*. The initial weight loss was intended to prepare subjects prior to a three year weight maintenance and lifestyle intervention intended to prevent diabetes.\\nOf 2224 (of whom 1504 were women) participants who were overweight (BMI >25 kg\/m2) with prediabetes (according to ADA** criteria) who commenced the dietary programme 204 dropped out (10.1% of women, 7.2% of men). The overall mean weight loss after 8 weeks was 10.7 + 0.4kg (10.8% of body weight). After eight weeks women lost 10.2kg and men 11.8kg body weight on average of which 3.2kg (31%) and 1.9kg (16%) were fat free mass respectively (FFM \u2013 lean mass).\\nAfter 8 weeks 35% of participants were no longer \u2018pre-diabetic\u2019 but among those with slightly higher baseline blood glucose levels (using WHO criteria***) and who achieved a \u2018successful\u2019 weight loss of 8% or more, nearly two-thirds were no longer \u2018pre-diabetic\u2019. Systolic blood pressure was \u2018normalised\u2019 in women, down 7 mmHg from 127mmHg and nearly normalised in men, down 8mmHg from 133mmHg. Blood lipid profiles were largely improved, fasting blood glucose and insulin were reduced and insulin sensitivity was significantly improved.\\nMetabolic syndrome was less severe in the group as a whole after 8 weeks LED diet. Adverse events were reported in detail, 7.6% of participants complained of constipation despite the advice to avoid this from the beginning by using bulk laxatives, 2.0% complained of dizziness and no cases of gout occurred in any of the women, but six cases in men. Establishing meaningful rates for low-frequency adverse events requires that large subject numbers be studied and this data-set enables meaningful rates to be quoted (see table). After the initial weight loss period those who achieved 8% weight loss were entered into a randomised trial of higher and lower dietary protein intake, higher and lower dietary glycaemic index levels and higher and lower physical exercise levels for three years. The results of the three year maintenance outcomes will be presented at the European Diabetes meeting (EASD) in Berlin in October 2018. Commenting on the results\\nProfessor Anthony Leeds, medical director of Cambridge Weight Plan said \u2018This large observational study of Cambridge Weight Plan Low energy diet (800kcal\/d LED) shows for the first time, in a global context, that this is a safe, effective way to begin diabetes prevention programmes. Compliance was high (90%) and the average weight losses of >10% were close to the American endocrinologists\u2019 10% weight loss targets (see reference) for diabetes prevention. Metabolic and blood pressure changes were good as expected, and adverse event rates were low. Taken in conjunction with other published clinical trials showing weight maintenance after LED for up to four years, this first PREVIEW paper is a substantial offering in the global fight against the tsunami of diabetes that will shortly overwhelm health care providers.\u2019\\nKey points:\\n- After 8 weeks of Cambridge Weight Plan Low Energy Liquid Diet women lost an average 10.2kg and men 11.8kg;\\n- Loss of lean mass was 31% in women (consistent with previous findings) and 16% in men;\\n- Compliance was high (>90% completed the 8 week programme);\\n- Systolic blood pressure was \u2018normalised\u2019 in women (average values);\\n- There was a low frequency of adverse events; and\\n- This paper reports the results of the largest observational trial of total diet replacement in overweight people with pre-diabetes.\\n* The centres were located in Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, Spain, Bulgaria, the United\\nKingdom, Australia and New Zealand.\\n*American Diabetes Association (ADA) criterion for impaired fasting glucose (FPG) 5.6 to 6.9 mmol\/l\\n**World Health Organisation criterion for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) 6.1 to 6.9 mmol\/l\\nReference:\\nAACE\/ACE Guidelines\\nAMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGISTS AND AMERICAN COLLEGE OF\\nENDOCRINOLOGY\\nCOMPREHENSIVE CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR MEDICAL CARE OF PATIENTS WITH OBESITY\\nW Timothy Garvey etal ENDOCRINE PRACTICE Vol 22 (Suppl 3) July 2016 1 DOI:10.4158\/EP161365.GL\\nsee:\\nAdverse events \u2013 data from Christensen P et.al. 2018 Diabetes Obes.

It demands that audiences dress for the occasion as carefully and committedly as they build entire environments for the event, even calling on hired actors to add a little spice. This latest enterprise will run for 25 nights from next Thursday, April 15. The hope is that roughly 500 people a day will flock to the event, around 12,000 in all, although Secret Cinema tends to do things down to the wire: the place stills looks like a construction village and there are thousands of tickets that need selling. All in good time\u2026\\nThe Secret Cinema organisers, led by Fabien Riggall of Future Shorts, the short film organisation, are old pros at this now. They began in 2007 by screening Gus Van Sant\u2019s \u2018Paranoid Park\u2019 to 400 willing guinea pigs under London Bridge. Since then they have shown \u2018The Red Shoes\u2019 to 16,000 punters at Tobacco Dock in Wapping, where they recreated the world of 1940s ballet, and screened \u2018Lawrence of Arabia\u2019 to 14,000 folk at Alexandra Palace, where they built an entire Middle Eastern souk. A colleague described the latter event as \u2018impressive, if you can put up with a load of Hooray Henrys running around dressed as Arabs with tea towels on their heads.\u2019 You could say that Secret Cinema is an acquired taste for which a fair few Londoners have developed a liking.\\nIf all you want to do is watch a movie, Secret Cinema probably isn\u2019t for you. Its audiences like to act out the movies as much as watch them. One event saw film-goers undergoing therapy from Nurse Ratched before they settled down to watch \u2018One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest\u2019. This time, I\u2019m told, the interactive element will be just as strong. I\u2019ve sworn not to reveal the film, but let\u2019s just say that if you thought Londoners dressing up as Arabs was a mite insensitive, then this new event will press its nose right up against the barriers of taste and decency.\\nRiggall is alive to how divisive his latest choice might be. \u2018I think people will appreciate the experience, but, yes, the film might split the audience. Not everybody loved \u201cThe Red Shoes\u201d. But then I could just show \u201cBatman\u201d and \u201cGhostbusters\u201d \u2013 big, commercial films \u2013 and fill the place up. But that doesn\u2019t interest me.\u2019\\nHe has chosen a film which he believes is right for the times \u2013 a film with a political bent which, by shedding light on a particular place and time, might cause people to think a little harder about the world today. \u2018I decided this was the one chance to do a film that wakes people up,\u2019 explains Riggall. \u2018And we\u2019re putting it in an environment that opens people\u2019s eyes to it.\u2019\\nIf you\u2019ve bought a ticket for the latest Secret Cinema shindig, you will already have been asked to fill in a \u2018census\u2019 and hand over personal details. Be prepared to have the information used against you \u2013 or even in your favour \u2013 on the night itself. The atmosphere, I\u2019m told, will be heavily militarised. Don\u2019t expect equality, or even a recognition of basic human rights. Perhaps because of the controversial choice of film, Secret Cinema is operating alone this time, without a sponsor. Previously, Microsoft dug deep to be associated with the assumed edginess of the events.\\nMaybe this latest Secret Cinema event will be a bit too edgy for the corporates. But will film-goers run with Riggall\u2019s enthusiasm for the socio-political relevance of his movie choice? Or will they just want to don a sharp suit and silly hat and run around a crazy location for a couple of hours before settling down to a good movie?\\nSecret Cinema fans can rest assured that as much work is going into this new event as the previous one. There are people with paintbrushes in their hands everywhere. Photocopies are pinned all over the place as inspirations for the designers. In one room, old-school red velvet cinema seats are being screwed in place. In another, set-builders are following the advice of a religious expert which Riggall met in another part of London just the other day. Out of chaos, Riggall hopes, order will emerge.\\n'It\u2019s always intense for a couple of weeks as we prepare for these events,\u2019 he laughs, before jumping on his bike and dashing off to a meeting elsewhere in town. \u2018But that\u2019s what brings out the details and that, hopefully, is what people appreciate.\u2019\\nFor more information and tickets see Time Out's event listing or go to .

With two pretty solid DLCs \"Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty\" and \"Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage\" Gearbox hopes to keep that fire burning for ever better drops and crazier enemy encounters. The third add-on certainly checks off each box on the list before locking and loading, but does it hit the mark? Find out with our review for \"Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt.\"\\nBeginning the new DLC is as easy as the others. When you boot up your latest save (after downloading the compatability patch, of course) you'll notice a new location on your fast travel kiosk. Just select the new area and simply click OK and you'll soon be whisked to a whole new land full of adventures to have and baddies to kill.\\nThis go around removes your Vault Hunter from the familiar post-apocalyptic deserts and garbage-strewn cities and drops you squarely into a massive swamp with a slew of strange creatures and funny natives. You'll slog through creepy bogs and cruise through damp marshes on the newest vehicle, a speedy airboat with a choice of nasty armament from electric bolts to corrosive volleys. My only gripe (and this goes with the Desert Skif from Pirate's) is that you can't take the new ride into the vanilla game- not a big deal really, but I actually like recklessly drifting about wrecking everything in my sight. Anyway, there's a lot of pretty scenery touched with a lot of what makes \"Borderlands\" unique. The overall look and feel goes well with the big game theme and the touch of nature is more than reminiscent of the \"Zombie Island of Dr. Ned\" DLC.\\nThe story is a pretty familiar one as well. Upon entering the wetlands you'll recieve an echo call from everyone's favorite gentleman gamesman and scholar, Sir Hammerlock, who will task you with the hunt of a lifetime... or at least you would be, since a not quite competent evil scientist interrupts your little chat and challenges you mano y mano. This scientist, Dr. Nakayama, has somewhat of a Jack fetish and basically wants to splice his DNA with some of the local fauna to create a murderous foe hell-bent on your demise. There's a lot of tongue in cheek humor carried over from the other DLCs and main game but the quest falls a bit short with only a few of missions to keep me busy until the ultimate confrontation with the bad doctor.\\nIt's unfortunate that the main quest is over before it really begins, I thought Dr. N had a goofy charm and was hoping to face increasingly ridiculous bosses. On the plus side, however, is that there are few extra side quests to occupy your time along with a mega boss on the level of a Terramorphous or Hyperion the Invincible but you'll need plenty of Eridium for the various totems scattered throughout the wetlands; and I would be remiss to mention the new tribal psychos, whose unique elemental powers and tanking abilites present a glimer of hope for more involved firefights down the road. In the end, you'll be justly rewarded with a nice set of weapons but coming into this DLC as a level 50 Commando, I already had a phenomenal arsenal.\\nThis is kind of the problem with late game DLC and maybe a little bit with how \"Borderlands 2\" works in the long run. After maxing out four or five characters, you'll more or less want to use a combination of a few \"go to\" weapons and the rare drops won't mean as much. With that said, I recommend a trip after a first game run, as you should be around level 30 or so but as a stand alone add-on, \"Big Game Hunt\" falls a bit short on content compared to the last two outtings. Weirdly, \"Big Game Humt\" makes a great case for picking up the season pass, as you could just chalk it up as a somewhat middling quest line along with a bunch of awesome extra content in the form of the previous add-ons. By itself, however, it just misses the sweet spot as a stand alone pack.\\n\"Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt\" is available for Xbox 360 for 800 MS points.\\n[Review code provided by Gearbox and played to completion on the Xbox 360]\\nRelated posts:\\n'Clash of Clans' Update Introduces Dark Elixir And Hero Characters!

Looking for an expert definition, consider what Alexandra Zetterberg has to say: \u201cPeople come together and put their thoughts into actions. It is people standing up for what they believe in, and not backing down. Activism can be used for big and small things.\u201d\\nZetterberg, a fifth grader at the Grass Valley Charter School, is a veteran of a successful campaign that helped stop the closure of South Yuba River State Park. Dozens of kids from the school helped enliven a larger community effort.\\n\u201cWe got as many people as we could.\u201d Alexandra also commented. \u201cThen we organized. We put a Mobile Media Action Team together. We got to have an audience with [California Secretary for Natural Resources] John Laird\u2019s office. We explained our reason why we didn\u2019t think the parks should close. In the end they gave in to our wishes and we came away triumphant because we pulled together and made a difference.\u201d\\nAnother fifth grader, Sammy Maliszewski, flavors commentary with a twist on preteen sophistication, \u201cThe community showed activism too. It\u2019s a cooperative thing. We are Charter kids. Grownups don\u2019t expect a lot out of kids, but that\u2019s the thing. Kids like us are made for stopping the grownups from becoming bad guys when they don\u2019t know it.\u201d\\nTeacher Merry Byles-Daly answered a question asking what surprised her most about an opportunity for the kids to present their concerns at the state capitol. \u201cWith just a couple of days\u2019 notice, over 40 students showed up, full of passionate enthusiasm for saving their park. What impressed me the most, at that first meeting, was the level at which the students understood what was at stake, and what it would take from them to be prepared to present their case in a very high level and public setting.\u201d\\nThird grader Ben Meyler noted, \u201cI was surprised at how nice they were at the state capitol, and they listened to us.\u201d\\nTeacher Alex Ezzell shared something he learned about these young activists. \u201cThese students reminded me about something that I believe all of us once knew. There is tremendous power in the enthusiasm of youth. It has nothing to do with \u2018cuteness\u2019 and everything to do with the purity of their beliefs. Cynicism has not yet crept into their outlook. They wholeheartedly believe, that despite inevitable obstacles and setbacks, with perseverance, they will succeed. It\u2019s as though, through their belief and commitment to action, the only possible outcome is success.\u201d\\nOK, maybe there is room for a little cuteness. Fifth grader Claire Schad offered an analogy that deserves a place in the activist handbook: \u201cI play softball, and if you hit the ball right to the second baseman, who is going to throw it to first, you don\u2019t stop till you are at the base. They could still drop it.\u201d\\nAlex Ezzell nods appreciatively, as do his students, to the thousands of people who lent support. This includes help from the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, the mayors of Nevada City and Grass Valley, and from non-profits, such as the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL). He hailed the \u201cgift of trust and responsibility\u201d instilled in a group of students amidst \u201can amazing tapestry of organizations and individuals [that] coalesced to make this action successful.\u201d\\nSYRCL, which orchestrates the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, produced the 15-minute \u201cHow the Kids Saved the Parks.\u201d It well deserves being one of the diverse dozens of films accepted in the festival from all over the US and countries around the world.\\nThe film\u2019s local color not only fits perfectly with SYRCL\u2019s decades-long devotion to the South Yuba River. Its exemplary success story nestles into a core theme of the film festival \u2013 activism. With a solid reporting style, this right-sized, well-constructed documentary puts the kids front and center. By their example they inspire grownups to do what Sammy Maliszewski thinks activism is: \u201ccompassion, perseverance, and courage.\u201d","question":"What is the film \"How the Kids Saved the Parks\" about?","answer":"The film \"How the Kids Saved the Parks\" is about a successful campaign led by students from the Grass Valley Charter School to stop the closure of South Yuba River State Park.

However, ever since the original Putlocker website was shut down, all of the replacement websites have been shoddy efforts which have failed to garner the trust of the people.

All of these websites serve the same purpose and will be much more convenient for you than any Putlocker clone.\\nWhat is Putlocker\\nPutlocker is a streaming platform that does not host anything on its own servers but rather redirects users to third-party websites which host the streaming content. People can use sites like Putlocker to have all of the resources in a single place, and then watch whatever they want.\\nThere are many alternatives to Putlocker which do exactly the same job as Putlocker used to. We will be taking you through some of them so that you are able to stream all the content that was available on Putlocker with the same ease of access.\\n10 Alternatives to Putlocker\\nThese 10 sites are just like Putlocker, but are much more trusted and thus, will be able to provide you a better experience whenever you want to stream.\\nViooz\\nViooz has an interface which is quite similar to Putlocker of old. It has a lot of movies in its collection which you can both watch online and download to watch later. However, it does take time and patience to load a movie on it due to the nature of the website.\\nSolar Movie\\nSolar Movie is a website that prides itself on its simplicity. The movies themselves are not hosted on their own servers but are extremely easy to access. The website is extremely user-friendly and finding a movie is as simple as typing it in the search bar.\\nNiter\\nNiter is perfect for those who have used Netflix in the past. The interface of this website is quite similar to the world\u2019s most popular movie streaming service.

There was a degree of trade expansion in the five decades to World War I but, until the late 20th century, interactions across continents involved little more than the exporting of vine cuttings and traditional production expertise. Indeed most wine was consumed in the country of production, and those countries were mostly in Europe.\\nThe fall in transport and communication costs since the 1980s is largely responsible for the change. That has made it affordable for many more producers to focus on exports, and for some to also focus on mergers or acquisitions.\\nFalling international trade costs and de-regulation of liquor retailing have also allowed large supermarket chains to become buyers of both bottled or bag-in-box wines and wine for building their own brands.\\nRetailing through such chain stores requires large quantities of homogenous wine year after year. Producers in the New World were more adept at initially responding to this new demand, creating a huge new category of robust, fruity \u2018commercial premium\u2019 wines that fall between expensive fine wines and cheap non-premium (\u2018table\u2019) wines.\\nThe share of global wine production exported, which had always been below 15 per cent and mostly Mediterranean or intra-European, grew dramatically from the late 1980s. By 2012 it exceeded 40 per cent.\\nThe New World\u2019s share of global wine exports rose from 3 per cent in the late 1980s to 25 per cent (if sparkling wine is excluded) by 2004.\\nRecognizing their poor performance, Europe\u2019s producers during the past decade have been adapting their practices to compete. The three leading European wine-exporting countries as a group now export almost half their production, up from just one-fifth a generation ago.\\nSimultaneously, New World producers are seeking to expand their exports of more-expensive wines to complement their lower-end products. The next phase of wine\u2019s globalization therefore may involve a convergence whereby both groups produce terroir-driven super-premium wines alongside more-affordable \u2018commercial premium\u2019 branded wines. Meanwhile, cheap basic non-premium wines are continuing their demise.\\nTechnological developments are rapidly altering the means of exporting commercial premium wines. In the past decade or so the share of wine that is exported from the New World in bulk shipping containers has risen from less than 15 to more than 40 percent. Bottling in the country of destination is sometimes cheaper, and it lowers the cost and carbon footprint of shipping. By shipping in 24,000-litre bladders to fit 20-foot containers, this new technology offers greater opportunities to blend wines from any region of the world.\\nGreater openness to trade means winemakers and hence grapegrowers are far more exposed now than pre-1990 to exchange rate volatility, and also to greater import competition in their domestic market as consumers seek to choose from an ever-broader range of wines. Wide fluctuations in exchange rates since the global financial crisis began in 2008 have substantially altered national shares in key markets.\\nGreater openness and international travel also alter tastes and preferences. Nowhere has this been more obvious in the case of wine than in China. Chinese wine imports grew more than 50 percent per year during 2006-12. With the number of middle class in China currently around 250 million and growing at 10 million per year, and with grape wine accounting for less than 5 percent of alcohol consumption, further large increases in wine consumption are expected. How much of that Chinese demand will be supplied by domestic producers is difficult to guess, but import growth is likely to continue for the foreseeable future (see Wittwer and Anderson 2015).\\nRecent Comments\\n[\u2026] professor Kym Anderson reports on the continued globalization of the wine business and paints a picture of what the future looks [\u2026]","question":"What factors have contributed to the globalization of the world's wine markets in the past two decades?","answer":"The fall in transport and communication costs since the 1980s, falling international trade costs, de-regulation of liquor retailing, and technological developments in exporting methods have contributed to the globalization of the world's wine markets in the past two decades."} {"context":"The Worlds of the 15th Century Major turning point in human history\u2026 Human Communities Paleolithic: Australia, Siberia, parts of Africa and the Americas Australia and Northwest coast of North America Both \u2013 very different Agricultural Village Societies: North America, Africa (south of equator), South America, SE Asia Avoided oppressive authority Herding Peoples Turkic warrior Timur (Timerlane) tried to restore the Mongol Empire ca. 1400 His army devastated Russia, Persia, and India Died in 1405 while preparing invasion of China His successors kept control of area b\/t Persia and Afghanistan for 100 years Timur\u2019s conquest was the LAST great military success of Central Asian nomads 1500s \u2013 China and Europe Ming Dynasty Disrupted by Mongol rule and plague Recovery 1368-1644 Confucian learning Yongle = Encyclopedia (wisdom of past) Reestablished civil service examination Highly centralized government Court eunuchs Planted 1 billion trees Yongle commissioned massive maritime fleet Possibly the most prosperous civilizations of it time Europe Pop began to rise again in 1450 State building BUT fragmented with many independent states The Hundred Years\u2019 War (1337-1453) Renaissance \u2013 reclamation of classical Greece Began in Italy (1350-1500) Greater naturalism in art \u2013 daVinci, Raphael, Michelangelo \u201chumanist\u201d scholars to explore secular topics Europe cont\u2026 Maritime voyaging 1415 \u2013 Portuguese voyages 1492 \u2013 Columbus 1497-1498 Vasco da Gama Small in comparison to Chinese voyages Europeans were seeking wealth, converts, and allies Used violence to carve out empires Chinese voyages ended \u2013 European ones increased Rivalry b\/t states increased competition China had everything it needed\/Europeans wanted more China\u2019s food produced internally Islamic World 4 major states or empires Islamic Heartland: Ottoman and Safavid Empires 1.

These sites continue to be meaningful to Native peoples and are considered sacred to those whose tribes were forced from Ohio long ago. These monumental works of archaeoastronomy and landscape architecture bear remarkable testimony to the multifaceted genius of aboriginal North Americans in the Ohio Valley and to an artistic and cultural flowering that had significant impacts all across the continent between 900 and 2,600 years ago. Inscription on the World Heritage List would underscore the cultural significance of these sites and call international attention to these treasures long known to Ohioans.\\nThe Nomination Process\\nThe U.S. Department of the Interior and the National Park Service control and guide the process that culminates in a nomination of these sites to UNESCO \u2013 the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization \u2013 which administers the World Heritage List.\\nCurrently the \u2013 Fort Ancient in Warren County, the Newark Earthworks in Licking County, and the earthworks included in the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Ross County.\\nThe Need for Support\\nA working group of archaeologists, anthropologists, architects, cultural landscape historians, museum and park administrators, and Native Americans are collaborating to complete a draft of this document for review by the National Park Service before a final submission can be made to UNESCO. Funding is needed to continue the progress toward the completion of the draft nomination: consulting with other World Heritage sites and nominee organizations and other experts; performing additional research; compiling all required data; formulating required management plans; developing economic impact studies, and designing the draft document.

My hairdresser describes my hair as \"angel fine\" which she says is even finer and thinner than \"baby fine.\" I don't know about that, but I know I come by fine hair naturally. Both my parents have very fine hair.\\nSo the search begins for the diet I can stick with to thin the parts of me that are thickening, and to find the beauty products that will thicken the parts that are thinning. It was with this search in mind that I picked up a bottle each of Jason Thin to Thick Shampoo and Conditioner. The shampoo guarantees to make hair 10% thicker after the first use. With most \"volumizing\" shampoos this means that instead of being shiny and silky, my hair will be frizzed - more volume, but I look like I'm having a bad hair day. This was not the result with Jason. With Jason, my hair actually did appear thicker but I didn't lose out on shine.\\nThe instructions with Jason shampoo read, \"Apply a moderate amount to thoroughly wet hair. Gently massage into scalp with fingertips. Rinse, then shampoo a second time if necessary. For best results, follow with Thin-To-Thick Natural Hair Thickening Conditioner to detangle and to add fullness, shine and manageability.\" I only used one application of the shampoo. After rinsing my hair and scalp felt absolutely stripped dry. I don't always use conditioners as they tend to weigh my hair down, but this was a shampoo that clearly was going to need to be followed by a good conditioner. I did follow with the Jaons Thin to Thick conditioner, and was pleased with the result.\\nThe shampoo comes out of the bottle smelling faintly of peppermint. It's a very light scent and not at all unpleasant. The shampoo reminded me in color of vaseline.. I have short hair and used about a nickel size squish in my palm and that was plenty for me to wash my short, fine hair. I found that my hair wasn't quite wet enough to start, but adding a little water really made it lather and work better.\\nI have been using it for about a week and am very pleased with the shampoo and conditioner in combination. My brown hair actually looks a bit darker...wish I could say the same for my grey. I can notice less scalp seeming to show through my hair. Of course, I'm still an angel even if my hair seems to be approaching baby fine.\\nIf you have thin or thinning hair, I would certainly recommend trying Jason thin to thick shampoo and conditioner. For once, a hair product that seems to be doing what it claims.\\nThe shampoo contains:\\nHawaiian Sea Kelp\/Algae Extract. Purified Spring, Comfrey Extract, Polysorbate-20, Ginseng Extract, Panthenol, Inositol, Steardimonium Panthenolm, Biotin, Panthenol-3, Folic Acid, Yucca Extract, Benzophenone-3(UV), Horseta","question":"What are the results of using Jason Thin to Thick Shampoo and Conditioner according to the user's experience?","answer":"The user found that their hair appeared thicker and retained its shine after using Jason Thin to Thick Shampoo. However, the shampoo left their hair feeling stripped dry, necessitating the use of a conditioner. After using the Jason Thin to Thick conditioner, the user was pleased with the results. They noticed less scalp seeming to show through their hair and their brown hair appeared a bit darker."} {"context":"Artist: South Park Mexican Album: Hillwood Song: H-Town G-Funk Typed by: younghtownplaya@aol.com, no1wammy@hotmail.com [South Park Mexican] (Verse 1) My sweet 'Llac fall back, just creeping on three wheels A bitch to my right cocked giving me cheap thrills I see meals Coming down my path In the ghetto cat's wrath, making math I'm the last to blast, on that ass, now you the past It's no joke, you get smoked like buddah grass Who the fastest Punk, I'm like Cassius And when I crash this, you catch WHIP lashes Bitch, I'm on a mission, to listen And give descriptions Hung G's in my hood and their intentions I hear gunshots ringing like hell's bells I see drug sells, check out my thug tales Fuck jails, bank swells keeps hella grip And I can sell dope on ice And never slip They serving Kibbles N' Bits while I'm cuttin' bricks Save my crumbs for the ones who sucking dicks I may get rich on the ditch, you quick snap I left that cut, now they wonder where the bricks at My green shit stacks Still clip packs Thirty-six Lead homies, so don't trip jack It's the wetback, hittin' on the bongs Son, in the long run, I'll be the strong one Hook: South Park Mexican If you step in my hood, bitch, you will get blasted It's nothin' but that H-Town G-funk If you step in my hood, bitch, you will get blasted It's nothin' but that H-Town G-funk Repeat Hook [South Park Mexican] Yeah, this for all them hustlers in Hillwood, South Park Hun (Verse 2) I told ya Boy, you must have caught amnesia Tryin' to jack, now you're on your back, breathin' anastesia You got blasted, cause you trespassed it They never lasted In the game I mastered You stupid bastard, tell me what's your final word Before I let this lead tip, hit your spinal cord Oh, you was ready, just beggin' to gank me Now your ass is just dead and stanky I put my foot, in your shit like the hokey pokey Leave the scene, now everything's okey dokey Your homies know me But they won't FUCK with this Cause now they know That I can sure BUCK a bitch I'm the macker, plus the gun packer So you little jackers Best stick to [{*crackers*}] Cause fucking with this Mex gets your neck broke Stuck like Chuck Straight fucked, and in check, loc Cause I think fast, when I'm in the slow lane Get in my domain, and fall back with no brain So don't raid Or try to rain on my parade Cause I'm strapped from my blade To my grenade Repeat Hook Twice (Verse 3) My sweet Texas, restless Wantin' to ride Lexus Check this or flex this I get wreckless Unbelievable, lyrical, cynical Here we go, Mary-go-round, I down critical Street stamina, dammin' a cop Slammin' a punk And jammin' my Funk I'm the man with the skill, for real Guard my grill with steel On Sundays, I kneel On my knees to Jesus, please seize us Cause my boy's in trouble And he needs us Got a bat, my homie's on the double Punks want trouble I Bam Bam Rubble Still the son of a gun, havin' big fun Come and get some I leave you wet, mon Fill your lead with an infra red I put the best to bed, they call him Dead Fuckin' Fred Shed my skin like a snake on a vine Climbin' on the crime side, comin' around the blind side We fall in ranks like a motherfuckin' pyramid And I'm the top block, will I stop Never did Make it past the ninth grade But got life made Chose that dope, and I hope, I picked the right trade Repeat Hook Twice","question":"Who is the artist of the album Hillwood?","answer":"The artist of the album Hillwood is South Park Mexican."} {"context":"Phil Irwin\\nCEO\/President\\nUpdated On : Sep 29, 2014\\n11875 West 85th Street\\nOverland Park, KS 66214\\nHQ Phone: 800-356-8360\\nDirect Phone: Not Available\\nType:\\nPrivate\\nEmployees:\\n100 - 249\\nRevenue:\\n50 - 100 Million\\nIndustry:\\nFinance->Insurance\\nSIC Code:\\n6331 - Fire, Marine, and Casualty Insurance\\nA Overland Park, KS-based organization, Federated Rural Electric Insurance is just one of the many Lead411 profiles that you can find contact information, like phone numbers and emails.

Benjamin Franklin in colonial Philadelphia created theories of electricity that excited admiration and fruitful argument in the intellectual centers of Europe. But somehow in the century after Franklin a self-limiting provincialism stifled creative science in America. The exception that appears at the end of the century, Willard Gibbs, accentuates the prevailing dullness. In the late 1870s, when European scientists acclaimed Gibbs\u2019s foundational work in physical chemistry, his colleagues at the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, who published the work, could not understand it. They were provincials in mentality, separated from the creative centers of scientific thought not by the Atlantic Ocean but by their unwillingness to learn the mathematical physics that Gibbs had mastered.\\nNineteenth-century Americans were interested in science, of a sort. They filled lecture halls to hear a transplanted European savant disclose the great design in nature\u2019s order, and numerous collectors packed the Smithsonian Institution with dried plants, stuffed animals, rocks, bones, Indian artifacts\u2014to show the abundance designed by God for exploitation by energetic white men. The first centenary of American independence was celebrated in Philadelphia by a great exhibition of engines and implements, which the public supposed to be generated by science, never mind exactly how. And even at that level, where \u201cthe mystique of Yankee ingenuity\u201d was commonly accepted, the provincial pattern appeared: the American press paid almost no attention to the exhibit of Bell\u2019s newly invented telephone until a distinguished English visitor celebrated it back in his own country.\\nI am picking out one theme in Robert Bruce\u2019s magisterial history of \u201cthe great scientific awakening,\u201d as a contemporary called it\u2014a more apt title, in my opinion, than The Launching of Modern American Science, 1846\u20131876. To be sure, Bruce\u2019s abundant account of universities, museums, scientific associations, and other institutions founded or rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century lends itself to the metaphor of shipyards and launchings, but all that busyness is hardly the most interesting theme of his book. It is the most fully developed, with so many little heaps of biographical detail concerning so many forgettable people that the reader must struggle to keep his mind alert for the intermittent passages that connect the institutions and people to Bruce\u2019s more significant concern: the American awakening, from the 1840s through the 1870s, to the authentic spirit of modern science.\\nThat entangles him in fascinating questions about the American mentality: What explains its protracted torpor? What caused its belated awakening\u2014or reawakening if we consider Franklin representative of an original American enlightenment that somehow died out? Underlying those historical, narrowly American issues, is a large philosophical question: What right do we have to make invidious distinctions between creative science and the superficial imitations that prevailed for so long in America? When we locate Franklin and Gibbs at the luminous center of scientific discovery and place the intervening collectors of rocks and bones in provincial dullness, is our account.","question":"Who was the exception to the stifling provincialism that limited creative science in America in the century after Benjamin Franklin?","answer":"The exception was Willard Gibbs."} {"context":"01 July 2016\\nCompletion of the Sale of Canberra to Mirion\\nSan Francisco, Calif.

Now it\u2019s time to look up friends who are already members of Voxeet, but before that, let\u2019s go over some of the more interesting features that this free voice conferencing client has:\\n- High quality sound \u2013 no more muffled and choppy voices or background noise\\n- If two people try to talk at the same time \u2013 they will be muted\\n- Voice recognition \u2013 so that everyone knows who is doing the speaking\\n- 3D sound \u2013 arrange contacts in the conference and listen them in 3D\\n- Easy to use desktop client with design similar to other VoIP clients\\n- Build contact lists and organize them in groups\\nVoice calls and conferencing that Voxeet offers is very similar to services that other VoIP clients, like for example Skype, two, three offer, but it\u2019s not quite the same. Previously mentioned features make Voxeet stand out a bit more, and of course the fact that it\u2019s free without limitations is also very appealing. Here\u2019s a few pointers to help you get started with this free web conferencing utility.\\nSimilar services: Mikogo, ShowDocument, DimDim.\\nHow to conduct web conferences with Voxeet\\nIf you want you can search for contacts with the help of their email, or you can invite your friends to join Voxeet if they are not using it already.\\nTo add contacts you\u2019re gonna have to click on the Contact button which has a yellow plus sign next to its head. Conference calls can be started by selecting the contacts that you want to include in the conference and then a Call now button should appear in the lower right corner of the window. Click on it and your contacts should start joining the conversation.\\nContacts can be edited and those which are no longer needed can be removed from the contact list. The 3D sound that we mentioned is made possible by contact arrangement as you can see in the image above, Contact on your left will have louder audio than the one on the right when speaking and other way around thus making it sound as though they are closer.\\nConclusion\\nVoxeet is a great VoIP service which offers a lot to its users. It\u2019s still in beta so there\u2019s still room to improvement, although we haven\u2019t come across any kind of problems. Mac, iOS and Android versions are on their way.","question":"What are some of the features of the Voxeet web conferencing client?","answer":"Some of the features of the Voxeet web conferencing client include high quality sound, muting when two people try to talk at the same time, voice recognition, 3D sound, an easy to use desktop client with design similar to other VoIP clients, and the ability to build contact lists and organize them in groups."} {"context":"\u201cThe Young and the Restless\u201d spoilers for Tuesday, August 11, tease that Jack (Peter Bergman) will assure Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) that he won\u2019t let Marco (Peter Bergman) hurt her again.

Great tasting drinking water is no longer a luxury, but rather a necessary standard of living. When it comes to treating your water, turn to Horizon Plumbing Service.\\nOur licensed plumbers have been in business for over 30 years, and will professionally install your home\u2019s water filtration system.\\nHow Do Home Water Filters Work?\\nActivated Carbon\\nActivated Carbon Filters use a carbon resin to pull out contaminants. If you\u2019ve got a pitcher-filter in the fridge, those typically pull out 5-10% of contaminants, and are known as \u201cgravity fed\u201d.\\nActivated Carbon filters using water pressure can pull out 50-60% of contaminants from your water.\\nReverse Osmosis\\nReverse Osmosis (RO) systems are great for making your water taste great, and remove a larger amount of contaminants than Activated Carbon filters.\\nFortunately, Horizon Plumbing is experienced in quality water filtration systems and can offer an RO system that\u2019s closer to a 1 to 1 ratio. Keep in mind that while the waste is definitely minimized, the water waste is still 50%. This is due large in part to the fact that it pressures water through a micro-membrane with pressure, and any of the contaminants left are sitting in potent water.\\nTAC (Template Assisted Crystallization)\\nTemplate Assisted Crystallization (TAC) is a form of water conditioning that descales at a rate of 90-100%! Remember how gravity fed filters descale around 5-10%? TAC is growing in popularity because of its massive efficiency upgrade, especially among tankless water heater owners. TAC collects raw contaminants into a crystal and doesn\u2019t allow the raw material to scale up on the pipes of your system.\\nWhich Filter Makes Better Tasting Water?\\nMost homeowners agree that the way their tap water tastes is an important factor inside the home. A simple activated carbon filter is great for this. It removes what you want it to, and is portable (gravity fed filters are, anyway). As far as implementing them in your home, Horizon Plumbing can install that filter in your home. We recommend Gemline, due to its cost effectiveness and quality. This kind of filter is a part of the four-stage system available in the whole-house filtration system.\\nIts drawbacks can be fulfilled by other parts of the system, like the TAC implemented descaler. This reduces the scale buildup in your water supply, and would also create great tasting water.\\nCities We Service\\nPlano\\nFrisco","question":"What are the different types of home water filters mentioned and how do they work?","answer":"The different types of home water filters mentioned are Activated Carbon Filters, Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, and Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC).

Arctic. Oil. Extinction. Carbon emissions. Recycling. At Dickinson, we can add the Treehouse, Farmers on the Square, Kaufman, and no more napkins to that list. Aside from sustainability, these words have an underlying theme in common\u2014they all relate to environmental issues. There is something potentially harmful in the way we depict sustainability, this green tunnel vision of ours.\\nPart of the problem lies in how environmental issues are approached, as though they are only relevant in glaciers and rainforests. Perhaps we have forgotten that any setting, from a dorm building to drought-ridden Syria to Gettysburg, 1863, is an environment. The natural and built environments do not exist in isolation, for even in the forest you can sometimes hear planes soaring overhead. A community garden is part of nature, but it\u2019s also human-made.\\nFurthermore, sustainability does not apply exclusively to nature. Economies, countries, and civil society likewise must be sustained for humanity to continue to function. In some cases, like our consumption-driven economy or autocratic regimes, that means change. We have to devote more attention to the necessity of perpetuating a relatively organized, connected world if we want to sustain natural resources.\\nI think we forget that humans are natural too. We murder and create. We do a lot of harm to this good world, but we are part of it, not an alien blight upon the earth. We forget that, because we are responsible for so many environmental and societal problems today, we have an obligation not only to stop destroying but also to rebuild. Are we superior to nature? Certainly not\u2014because we are nature. Humanity cannot abandon the earth to nurse its wounds alone.\\nFrom that recognition of humanity, it follows that we must devote more attention to societal sustainability and to how environmental issues affect society. I speak here of social justice movements as key to making our present world more equitable in the long term, and of environmental justice: how does your hydropower plant or green clothing affect your neighbor 500 miles away?\\nOn Dickinson\u2019s campus, I think our social justice-oriented groups like Spectrum can be recognized in the quiet ways they promote societal sustainability; they also must be better integrated into our school\u2019s understanding of that topic. Because of what we hold in common\u2014the opportunity to attend or work at an institution admirably aware of environmental issues\u2014we need to foster an awareness of how sustainability goals interact with our differences in religious, ethnic, class, and other identities.\\nOn paper I\u2019m pleased with Dickinson\u2019s definition, which says, \u201cSustainability is about more than recycling and the environment. [It is about how we] improve the human condition equitably in this and future generations, while conserving environmental systems necessary to support healthy and vibrant societies.\u201d In practice, I am less satisfied.\\nFor example, a great number of our classes are designated Sustainability Connections (SCON) or Sustainability Investigations (SINV), but that initiative has little recognition among students overall. Having taken some of those classes myself, I see how they are tied to sustaining the environment, economy, society, etc., but I cannot imagine how a student who thinks \u201csustainability\u201d and \u201cgoing green\u201d are identical could understand that. Especially with SCON, Dickinson has a secret strength, but it is under-acknowledged and therefore ineffective.\\nUnless we recognize the true width and breadth that sustainability touches, we are at risk of focusing on our very difficult environmental situation to the detriment of everything else. We risk pessimism that leads to passivity. We act as if sustainability is a bumper sticker when it should be our world.\\nI challenge you to bring up sustainability in a club or classroom where it\u2019s not normally discussed, and see where the discussion goes from there. These are the seeds of the future that we must plant.","question":"What is the underlying theme common to the words Treehouse, Farmers on the Square, Kaufman, and no more napkins, according to the context?","answer":"The underlying theme common to the words Treehouse, Farmers on the Square, Kaufman, and no more napkins is that they all relate to environmental issues."} {"context":"Witamy na Forum Polonii w Dallas!\\noutlining straightforward devices with regard to footwear air greatest extent\\nPOLSKIE PRZEDSZKOLE przekszta\u0142ci\u0142o si\u0119 w Polk\u0105 Szko\u0142\u0119 w Dallas, wiec wszystko idzie do archiwum...\\noutlining straightforward devices with regard to footwear air greatest extent UGG shoes are now just about the most well known models connected with sneakers on this planet.

Green roofs, porous pavement, and rain gardens are all examples of green infrastructure practices, designed to manage rain where it falls, allowing it to filter back into the ground or evaporate back into the air. These alternatives totraditional \u201cpipe and cement-based\u201d stormwater management practices are becoming more mainstream in municipal stormwater management strategies, with cities large and small committing to specific \u201cgreened acre\u201d goals. For example, New York City has committed to utilizing green infrastructure to manage stormwater over 8,000 impervious acres, Philadelphia will \u201cgreen\u201d 10,000 acres, and Milwaukee and Seattle will do the same with upwards of 20,000 acres.\\nMany impact investors are familiar with Social Impact Bonds (SIBs), as they have been used in recent years to help meet public policy goals such as reducing recidivism or homelessness. What\u2019s new here is the application of the SIB structure to an \u201cenvironmental\u201d outcome --- in this case, stormwater management, and what\u2019s exciting is that, because it reduces some of the financial risks a city would otherwise take in opting for \"green\" strategies, the EIB structure could be a way for more cities to \u201cgo green.\u201d The basic structure of the DC Water EIB is as follows:\\n1) In 2016, DC Water enters into a contract with investors (in this case, Goldman Sachs and the Calvert Foundation) whereby the investors provide $25 million to DC Water to constructgreen infrastructure to manage stormwater from 20 impervious acres (in this case, porous pavement and bio-retention will be built). DC Water will also undertake an evaluation program that includes: a) pre-construction monitoring of stormwater runoff in the locations where the green infrastructure will be built; b) modeling to identify a range of expected performance outcomes; and c) post-construction monitoring using the same methodology which was used pre-construction.\\n2) After the green infrastructure is built, in the year 2021 (the term of this particular contract is 4.5 years) it\u2019s time for DC Water to repay its investors \u2013 the precise amount they must pay will depend on how well the installed green infrastructure assets perform against the range of outcomes modeled before construction. If, for example, the assets fall short of the target performance range, DC Water will repay its investors $21.7 million at the mandatory tender date. If, on the other hand, the project performs better than projected, DC Water will pay investors back their principal $25 million, the remaining accrued interest at the 3.43% interest rate agreed to by the parties plus an additional $3.3 million. If the project performs in the middle range of the modeled outcomes, DC Water simply pays the investors back the same amount they were provided upfront ($25 million) plus any remaining interest. More details on the contractual terms can be found in this helpful fact sheet.\\nA financing structure where repayment is dependent in part on project performance is appealing because it reduces the financial risk that a city or utility would otherwise need to assume in installing green infrastructure to meet its water quality goals. Some cities aren\u2019t comfortable trying something new and may be reluctant to replace the tanks and tunnels that they have been using with trees and gardens..\\nTo be clear, an EIB\/pay-for-success contract is not \u201cfree\u201d money\u2014no more than a traditional municipal bond is \u201cfree\u201d\u2014because in both cases, the promise to repay is backed by the full faith and credit of a city\u2019s balance sheet or by a specific revenue stream (such as stormwater fees). For those of us interested in green infrastructure finance, the EIB structure is exciting because it\u2019s a way to help cities (especially those that might otherwise be worried about project performance) to try integrating green infrastructure into their stormwater mitigation and water quality goals.\\nLet\u2019s consider the conventional municipal financing alternatives to the EIB. If DC Water had chosen to use a more traditional route to fund its green infrastructure through directly using bond proceeds, city general funds, or ratepayer funds, they would most likely have had to pay for the entirety of the project regardless of project performance, because that is how most municipal procurement tends to work. The EIB is helpful and different because it ties a project\u2019s spending to its success. In principle, a city could write a similar performance-based contract for any private-public-partnership, but the terms of those contracts can be complicated and the negotiations between the private entity and the municipality can be lengthy. Some places, such as Prince George\u2019s County, have managed to strike P3 deals that do pay on a performance basis. However, for the vast majority of municipal stormwater procurements, cities usually pay up front and, in doing so, assume all project risks.\\nThe good news is that any project where a range of outcomes can be reliably modeled in advance of an intervention is a good candidate for an EIB. Now that an EIB has been done for green stormwater infrastructure, one can imagine future applications to other water infrastructure challenges, such as drinking water quality or water efficiency, as well any case where municipalities stand to benefit greatly from distributed \u201cgreen\u201d approaches but may be too risk-averse to try them for the first time. A city that has a robust water infrastructure grant program (be it focused on water efficiency or stormwater management) targeting private property owners, such as Seattle, southern California, or Milwaukee, could even consider financing that grant program through an EIB structure, coupling the risk-mitigating benefits of a pay-for-success model with the low-cost distributed infrastructure opportunities that can be found on private land.\\nThe Harvard Government Performance Lab (GPL), which provided technical assistance on DC Water\u2019s EIB, will be continuing to partner with public sector leaders in obtaining better results from their social program spending\u2014whether through an EIB, an SIB or other pay-for-success model, including, but certainly not limited to, water infrastructure projects. Check out theirnew request for proposals\u2014awardees will benefit from GPL fellows offering pro bono technical assistance to structure and deploy results-driven contracts.\\nAlisa Valderrama, Senior Policy Analyst, Water Program","question":"What is the purpose of an Environmental Impact Bond (EIB) in the context of green infrastructure finance?","answer":"An Environmental Impact Bond (EIB) is used to fund the construction of green infrastructure to manage stormwater.

It makes her happy and every time he texts her, she automatically gets excited."} {"context":"According to the Washington Post, the hot-button issue with Michele Bachmann in recent debates hasn't been her global warming denialism, her tendency to mold her political positions based on email rumors, her breezy way of calling people un-American or her general bat-poo lunacy. It\u2019s been her fingernails. Bachmann has a French manicure (or, as she probably calls it, a freedom manicure), which some people think is tacky. Also her nails are too square at the ends, and plus they are probably fake. Quel horreur.I really, really, really do not want to defend Michele Bachmann, but this kind of thing makes me so weary that I feel I must. It was the same story with Sarah Palin (although to be fair the biggest story about Sarah Palin\u2019s appearance was the misappropriation of campaign funds for her outfits, which: fair enough) -- her politics were either repugnant, uninformed, or both, so why were we talking about her clothes and hair and mothering skills? Ditto Ann Coulter (who I realize is not a politician, but indulge me) -- yes, she\u2019s horrible, but it has nothing to do with whether she looks mannish or not. All I want is for people to criticize awful people based on their awfulness, and not on how well they do lady stuff!Now, female candidates are not the only ones subject to absurd wardrobe scrutiny. Remember Obama and his \u201cmom jeans\u201d? But when the lens is turned on male politicians, it tends to be done with a sort of rib-elbowing jocularity -- \u201cHa ha, Barack, your jeans are terrible, see you at the debate where we will discuss the actual issues.\u201d\\nWith female candidates, it feels more aggressive because focusing on a woman\u2019s appearance is so commonplace. This isn\u2019t about someone being picked over because they\u2019ve chosen the spotlight. This is just business as usual, only in the Washington Post instead of the break room.Do you know that the first woman to wear pants on the floor of the House was Susan Molinari in 1990? NINE. TEEN. NINETY. You know, only about a CENTURY after women started wearing trousers in other contexts. And the furor over Molinari wearing a lower-half garment constructed of two tubes instead of one completely overshadowed the speech she made on the House floor. The tunnel vision focus on women\u2019s clothes and appearance is just as present in politics as it is in the rest of the world, and this crap builds up.What really gets me, though, is that female candidates get judged on things male candidates just don\u2019t have to worry about. The fellows might fret over the message sent by their tie, but women can also get dinged on cleavage, jewelry, makeup, shoes, hose, wrinkles, lack of wrinkles, and acrylic nails. There are so many more moving parts to a woman\u2019s appearance, so many more things that they have to keep an eye on in order to stay in compliance with the many and varied Rules for Ladies\u2019 Looks.\\nThere\u2019s basically no possible way that a male candidate would be criticized for having acrylic nails, because there\u2019s basically no context in which a male candidate would feel the need to wear acrylic nails in the first place. Ditto the shaping of those nails and the manicure color. Ditto earrings, necklace, lipstick, stockings, purse. Candidates\u2019 appearances get way too much air time, period -- maybe the result of a late-night \"Oh god we have a 24-hour channel and we\u2019re out of news\u201d panic. But because they need to hit so many fiddly clothing and grooming and accessorizing marks in order to properly fulfill gender roles, women are going around peppered with little targets. Men, if they can avoid getting a $400 haircut, have like five targets at most. (I\u2019m counting \u201ctan level\u201d in deference to John Boehner.)It\u2019s just unfair, this esoteric nitpicking (seriously, the semiotics of French tips?) about stuff that male politicians have never had to think about for one minute of their lives. I think Michele Bachmann is the most stubbornly backward, irresponsibly logic-proof reality divorcee who\u2019s ever run for office, and I don\u2019t want to make excuses for her.\\nBut I read things like that Post article and part of me thinks \u201cShe has to worry about how her eyes look and the messages her nails send on top of everything else? No wonder she doesn\u2019t have time to finish thinking a single thought. This Eternal Beauty Vigilance racket will really eat up your resources.\u201dI am certainly not saying we should stop picking on candidates for things that have nothing to do with their political positions. We should do that ALL THE TIME! It\u2019s fun, and it gets non-wonks stirred up about politics. Let\u2019s please go to town on Sarah Palin reading all the newspapers, or Christine O\u2019Donnell not being a witch, or Michele Bachmann going from being two banana plants up to a thrill-seeking shark who sold pictures of different toys she wanted.\\nBut seriously, if you are writing an article about whether Michele Bachmann\u2019s manicure is tacky, it is time to EVALUATE YOUR LIFE. (Present company excepted.)\\nI\u2019ll stick up for the dudes too -- don\u2019t get me started on the whole \u201cChris Christie is too fat to be president\u201d meme. Politics is gross enough; it doesn\u2019t need body snark, not for anyone. But let\u2019s just level the playing field.\\nNo making fun of anyone\u2019s looks; lots of making fun of everyone\u2019s stupid gaffes; and if you pick on Michele Bachmann\u2019s fingernails, you\u2019d better the hell pick on Rick Perry\u2019s, too. How French are his tips? The public demands to know.","question":"Who was the first woman to wear pants on the floor of the House?","answer":"The first woman to wear pants on the floor of the House was Susan Molinari in 1990."}
