The technology that we brought today, and how it will help the war fighter is our connected care box. We call it the Virtual Exam Room. And that basically can connect you with a doctor from anywhere on the globe. It has attachments and peripherals where you can run a blood pressure, pulse oxymetry, temperature, you name it. We have our technology fielded today in the commercial market it’s being utilized across the globe actually, in multiple countries. The truth is, there’s a gigantic need for telemedicine. We’re able to extend a doctor’s reach. Doctors who are able to go to austere environments in the event of a disaster and set up clinics and they can reach back to the States, for example, and consult with a expert. We have carts that go in hospitals, kits that go in helicopters, ambulances, home versions that are on a tablet that we send home with patients. We are really good at compressing our data over a very small bandwidth. And we are actually able to split a single signal of audio, video and data into three separate pipes and we can cannibalize one or the other depending on how much bandwidth we have. If you have infinite bandwidth you’re connected to a WiFi network, you have full access to the network it doesn’t really matter. But if you’re in an environment where you’re just running off of a cell phone and you’ve got one bar of connectivity you can cut the video out completely, go only to audio, go only to data, push that info and still do a medical grade consultation with a physician. The experience at Tech Warrior Op so far has been great. We love the military community and it’s one of our biggest goals is to save more lives. And we absolutely know that it is key to be able to get end-user feedback in order to best serve the community. And this is how you do it, by keeping people out of the hospital, and keeping people healthy. | https://drjustinimelsr.com/2019/11/07/tech-warrior-participant-spotlight-remote-health-solutions/ | 1,656,637,880 | null |

Event Details
This event is in honor of Barbara Benary, a prominent composer, ethnomusicologist and instrument builder who passed away last March (2019). Barbara was a founding member of the long-running experimental music composer’s collective, Gamelan Son of Lion, based in New York City, which is now entering its 44th year. She is also the person who in 1991 designed and built the instruments used by Gamelan Encantada (metallophones made from rolled steel, with gongs and drums added). Due to that contribution, she is in great part responsible for the establishment of “new music” gamelan here in the Southwest. In addition to works by Benary, Gamelan Encantada will be performing pieces by other Gamelan Son of Lion composers, Philip Corner, David Demnitz and Daniel Goode. | https://art.unm.edu/events/gamelan-encantada-concert/ | 1,656,173,810 | null |

Book explores the history of the neighborhoods around the University of Chicago
Prof. John Mark Hansen explores the many layers of Hyde Park-Kenwood
January 17, 2020
By Emily R. Ehret, AB'19
Lawrence A. Kimpton Fellow
Prof. John Mark Hansen has called Hyde Park home for more than 30 years. In a new book, Hansen, one of the nation’s leading scholars of American politics, traces the origins of the Hyde Park-Kenwood neighborhoods from 1853.
The City in a Garden takes its title from a translation of the city of Chicago’s motto, Urbs in horto, and harkens back to Hyde Park’s roots as a retreat from city life. It also delves into the history of the major parks that surround the neighborhoods: Jackson Park, Washington Park and the Midway Plaisance. Hansen seeks to inspect the “place-ness” of the area by taking inspiration from the individuals who lived there during its development.
An avid cyclist who hosts two annual bike tours with Dean John W. Boyer, Hansen values the block-by-block details of these communities and hopes to inspire a similar appreciation in others. The College sat down with Hansen, the Charles L. Hutchinson Distinguished Service Professor in Political Science and the College, to discuss the new book and his favorite local gems.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
How did you get started on this project?
I’m a cyclist, which means I’ve been all over the South Side, and I became curious about the places I was going through.
I gathered a lot of information about the areas north and south of here, and I realized four or five years ago that I had not looked into Hyde Park-Kenwood itself, and that became the beginning of this book.
You are a political scientist, so this is a different space for you to be working in. How did you get interested in the historical approach?
I’ve long been interested in history and the history of this part of the city in particular, so it wasn’t that long of a stretch. Of course, there’s some politics in this book, because in Chicago it’s very difficult to avoid that, and Hyde Park had its own distinctive politics. But I wanted it to be broader than that, in part because I’m also interested in the economic, cultural and social histories and all these different aspects of Hyde Park. I wanted to capture all of the varieties of experiences of people who lived in Hyde Park and Kenwood.
In the preface, you mention that you wanted to capture the experiences of people as individuals, almost by the blocks they lived on. How did this sense of place influence your process?
For the landmarks that are still here, it’s this curiosity: “What is that? What’s the story of that particular bit of architecture or that certain park?” I think that part of the experience of living in a place is physically being in that place. I wanted people to be aware of who the neighbors were, and what were the things that people who lived here 50, or 100, or 150 years ago would have experienced, heard about or participated in.
I really do want to emphasize the “place-ness” of history. Some people just passed through. Some were born, lived and died here. But they’re all part of this area’s history.
When it came to your research process, what kinds of sources were you drawing upon?
The largest source material is from the newspapers: Chicago Tribune, Hyde Park Herald and Chicago Defender. I also used city directories and Census material. A lot of the discoveries were kind of lucky—I stumbled upon one topic while I was looking up another. That included doing research on other parts of the South Side. When it was a village before being incorporated into the city, Hyde Park went from 39th to 138th east of State Street, so it encompassed most of what is now the whole South Side.
Were there any surprising moments during your research or times when you got particularly excited about your work?
Oh, I got excited all the time! There’s a building on 57th, next to the IC tracks—those are the Metra tracks, but the old-timers call it the IC, because it was the Illinois Central. There’s a building there that dates to before the Columbian Exposition. It’s called the Pepperland Apartments now. I had been past it hundreds and hundreds of times. One day I was there to meet my bike group, and I looked up on the lintels over the entryway, where I noticed the old street numbers carved over the doorway. Chicago re-numbered its streets in 1909, and these are the old street numbers from when it was numbered by the village of Hyde Park. That was a fun discovery, in part because I had gone all this time and never noticed it.
How were the surrounding parklands instrumental in shaping the Hyde Park-Kenwood community?
In the same way Paul Cornell is considered the “father” of Hyde Park, he is also considered the father of the South Park System. Cornell’s vision for Hyde Park was to have an attractive residential community, away from the smoke and bustle of the city. He donated the use of the community’s first park, East End Park – now Harold Washington Park – and found the amenity so enjoyable that he led the agitation to create the suburban park systems. The result is that Hyde Park is wrapped in the embrace of three parks and the lakefront – a city in a garden.
How do you hope your readers experience this area differently?
I hope they notice some details about the neighborhood that they’ve never noticed before. I hope they appreciate the kind of layers that exist here in Hyde Park—much like the layers they discovered when they excavated Troy. And that’s the way Hyde Park is now, in both its physical and social structure. There are representatives of the different layers of that history everywhere, both in the physical environment and in the social environment. I hope for readers that this will be evocative, that it will help them understand something more about this community and give them a sense of what it has been like at various times in the past. | https://college.uchicago.edu/news/faculty-stories/book-explores-history-neighborhoods-around-university-chicago | 1,656,377,528 | null |

In 2010 the ALIA Special Library Advisory Committee (SLAC) determined to undertake a statistical study of special libraries in Australia. The purpose of the study was to enable ALIA, special libraries members and employers (management) to gain a better understanding of the current state of specialist information services in Australia. | http://library.alia.org.au/alia-special-libraries-survey-snapshot-survey-findings | 1,657,044,835 | null |
During 2014 about 6,000 soldiers served in the IDF as Lone Soldiers. Some of them made “Aliya” (immigrated to Israel) on their own in order to serve in the IDF, and some have tough social-economic backgrounds, that cannot provide economic and emotional family support. The significant difference between the two population groups is that those who came from abroad have supportive parents and families that are not in physical proximity, while the local lone soldier does not have a family at all or is not in touch (communicating) with his/her family.
Coping with the Service
Any lone soldiers, serving in the IDF in particularly those serving as combat soldiers, face unique difficulties and challenges. In addition to the natural difficulty of the combat service, he/she has to cope with being a lone soldier, alone in the “battle”. This is especially evident on weekends, or various army events – like induction, beret march ceremonies, or parent’s days – when the families come to visit their loved ones, and the lone soldier, in a way, cannot really feel part and parcel of the event.
For this population group, the service in the IDF is a real opportunity for integrating in the Israel society after the army service, and therefore it is most important that they should have a positive and significant experience during their service. The army offers the lone soldier various supportive channels (finance assistance and special accommodation); nevertheless, there are still quite a few lone soldiers who do not receive an appropriate response to their needs, or support, mainly during weekends.
Almog Shilony’s Home for Lone Soldiers
Almog Shilony’s Home is based on the values and heritage of Almog z”l. Its intent is to provide a response to the needs of lone soldiers – a physical home, which also responds to emotional needs, almost in the way a “real home” would do so. The various goals of the home include community activities and assistance for the lone soldier towards the end of his/her service and afterwards.
In addition to the home, a values’ center has been founded which, in various ways, reflects Almog’s values: The value of heroism, amicability, giving, mutual caring and responsibility. During his short existence, Almog Asael dealt with giving, mainly to his soldiers, some of them lone soldiers. | https://www.beit-almog.co.il/en/lone-soldier/?shared=email&msg=fail | 1,656,256,028 | null |

Kelowna’s lakefront visitor centre is one of 130 around the province. Tourism businesses have been hardest hit by COVID-19 restrictions on travel. (Destination B.C.)
Tourism, small business getting COVID-19 help, B.C. minister says
$300M grant program has delivered $50 million so far
Tom Fletcher
Mar. 2, 2021 1:30 p.m.
Business
Applications are coming in and grants going out at a steadier pace in B.C.’s troubled COVID-19 relief fund for tourism small business, B.C. Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon says.
The $300 million pandemic assistance fund, approved by the legislature almost a year ago and launched in the midst of the surprise election campaign last October, has approved $50 million in assistance as of Tuesday, Kahlon told reporters at the B.C. legislature. Kahlon’s first task after being named the minister late last year was to overhaul the program to ease restrictions that left many businesses unable to apply.
“We continue to see applications coming in week over week,” Kahlon said March 2. “Sixty per cent of the applications are coming from tourism operators, which get a higher amount, $45,000. So over the next week or two, we’re going to continue to watch that trend, and then we’ll have more to say.”
The $300 million program expires at the end of the fiscal year March 31, and due to provincial accounting rules, any surplus goes to pay down the province’s ballooning debt. The B.C. NDP government has delayed its next budget from February to April, after running up an expected deficit of nearly $13 billion for 2020-21.
Kahlon said the turnaround time for a grant application varies, depending on whether a business has the accounting paperwork and a post-pandemic recovery plan done. In addition to grants of up to $30,000 for qualified small businesses, with an extra $15,000 for eligible tourism businesses, the program offers up to $2,000 for professional services.
B.C. Liberal jobs critic Todd Stone accused the government Monday of spending more on administration than they have on grants, which Kahlon said is “completely false” and contradicted by the document Stone cited. That $31 million is part of the $300 million fund, but goes to professional services for creating a recovery plan, including language services for applying.

Small businesses can qualify for grants up to $30,000 by showing 30 per cent loss of income at the time they apply, rather than 50 per cent in every month of the pandemic, Kahlon announced Dec. 21. Newer businesses in operation for 18 months can now qualify, rather than the original program opened during the October election campaign that restricted assistance to businesses in operation for at least three years. | https://www.pentictonwesternnews.com/business/tourism-small-business-getting-covid-19-help-b-c-minister-says/ | 1,656,520,052 | null |

WordPress content subscription websites are a great way to create a steady stream of revenue for the premium content you produce.
After all, as long as the material is valuable and there is an audience to share it with, then anyone should be able to monetize their website with subscriptions that give its members access to exclusive content.
Obviously, there’s a whole world of potential content subscription models out there to talk about. But before a WordPress website can charge users, or even restrict access to premium content, it’ll need some plugins first.
How to Enable a WordPress Content Subscription
While WordPress is a loaded CMS, it doesn’t come equipped with everything that’s needed to create content subscriptions right away.
For that, you’ll need to install WordPress plugins that are able to expand your website’s capabilities. Specifically, you’ll want a plugin to restrict user access to exclusive content, and a plugin to charge your users.
WordPress Subscription Plugins
There are tons of plugins out on the WordPress plugin marketplace that allow websites to set up subscription models. But every plugin has their own quality, functionality, and pricing, meaning there are many options you should browse between.
Plus, aside from plugins found through WordPress, there are also popular third-party developers that provide their own unique subscription plugins. For example: Here’s a plugin we developed that our customers use to charge their users for exclusive WordPress content.
Pay Per Post
The Pay Per Post plugin supports restricting access to posts or pages on your WordPress site while supporting various payment options based on the length of time a user can access the post or page. The plugin also supports granting access to a selective group of posts.
View Details
This Pay-Per-Post plugin lets you charge users access the premium content on your WordPress website through either periodic subscriptions, or a one-time payment. Between restricting specific pieces of content, posts, or entire pages, this plugin lets you explore a wide-range of subscription models. Charges are made through either direct transactions, or virtual currencies, depending on how your website handles payments.
Which brings us to the second key requirement for establishing a WordPress content subscription model…
WordPress Payment Method Plugins
With modern website and software subscription models, you’ll generally see two payment models used: Direct Payments and Micro-transaction Payments.
Direct Payments
Direct payments go straight from the user to the website, such as with a credit card or via PayPal.
But since WordPress cannot normally accept charges, you’ll need a plugin that enables direct payments to your website. A couple of the most popular plugins that do this are WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads. Both plugins support over 40 payment gateways, and will enable all typical kinds of Ecommerce transactions.
Micro-Transaction Payments
Micro-transactions are payment systems that trade a virtual currency unique to the website. These virtual currencies are typically earned through user loyalty programs, incentives and rewards, or are purchased through direct payments.
To enable micro-transactions, however, you will often need to install an additional plugin on top of your direct payment plugin. As mentioned before, these are easily found on the WordPress marketplace or from third-party developer websites, like our CM MicroPayment plugin.
Micropayments Virtual Wallet
Add your own “virtual currency“ and allow in-site transactions without having to process each payment externally. Can integrate with many other WordPress plugins, including WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, CM Answers, CM Download Manager and more.

Payment Option Comparison
5 Premium Content Subscription Models
Once you’ve installed good plugins that let your website successfully lock content and charge subscribers access, you’re ready to go. All that’s left is to employ a subscription model that matches the content and style of your website.
To find some inspiration for a WordPress content subscription that’s most appropriate for you, check out these profitable examples below.
1. VIP Access to Early Content
This subscription model is excellent for blogs, web-comics, and other websites that ultimately do not want to restrict any users from their content, but still provide an option for their audiences to support them.
These websites maintain dependable content schedules and allow their subscribers to access their content a little earlier than general users. Oftentimes minor bonus content, such as behind the scenes material, is also provided to create additional value and incentives.
With Pay-Per-Post
Users can pay monthly subscriptions via PayPal or credit card with Pay-Per-Post Direct Payments. It integrates with both EDD and WooCommerce
2. Pay-Per-Recipe Websites
A cooking enthusiast website, or a hub for DIY projects, are both perfectly equipped for the following recipe subscription model.
These websites usually use direct payments to give users access to recipes on a pay-per-page basis. Pricier monthly subscriptions that give total website access to all recipes are also common. Guests visiting the website will have limited access to portions of these recipe pages for browsing, but are unable to see most of the page or read full instructions.
With Pay-Per-Post
You can use Pay-Per-Post Direct Payments and lock the full content of the recipes while providing a sample peek at their excerpts.
3. Subscription Driven Game Communities
This type of WordPress content subscription is appropriate for encouraging activity in any online competitive strategy sharing environment. From massive-multiplayer video games, to fantasy football leagues, this model is easily adaptable to match most competitive fields.
With Pay-Per-Post
By employing micro-payments to stimulate community engagement, users acquire virtual points through payments or by sharing the tips they discover. Then they then spend the points they’ve earned to unlock other user-created strategies.
4. Class Subscriptions for Educational Lessons
There are countless online classes out there, from written guides to video lessons, and many aren’t free. However, these websites still manage to thrive by providing useful information and teaching valuable skills that justify their price.
With Pay-Per-Post
Using a WordPress content subscription with direct payments is a surefire way to charge for classes restrict lesson access to registered students.
Usually with these models, freely accessible portions of the website will be available to support the locked class material. Often this is a relevant blog page, or free lessons that show off the classes to entice new users to join.
5. Private Communities and Forums
This subscription model revolves around providing exclusive access to online communities that share some common interest or valuable information. This model is especially interesting in that it relies on user-created content, as well as that delivered by the host.
These models are often used in well-curated forums surrounding particular niches, or exclusive areas of popular websites where fans communicate with creators.
With Pay-Per-Post
One-time or monthly payments both work naturally with this model depending on the popularity and operational style of the website. | https://www.cminds.com/5-profitable-ways-charge-access-wordpress-content/ | 1,656,823,436 | 1,656,739,749 |
So what is funk? It’s sometimes difficult to know. In the 1950s, the piano style of both Ray Charles and Horace Silver were described as funk, and the word itself has long associations with black music, going back even further into history. Clearly the success of James Brown at the tail end of the 1960s—say from “Cold Sweat” onwards—established the funk era, but the Godfather of super-heavy funk had already set out his stall with “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag” and “I Got You (I Feel Good)” in 1965. At the same time a series of productions he recorded with Bobby Byrd, James Crawford, and others saw him slowly perfect his groove.
But he wasn’t working in a vacuum. In Memphis the studio group at Stax were creating a rhythmic template full of the funk—listen to Otis Redding’s “Sick Y’All” on the flip of “Try A Little Tenderness” or Rufus Thomas’ breakbeat friendly “Sophisticated Sissy” and there is no denying it. Whilst in Phoenix, Arizona, Arlester “Dyke” Christian and his Blazers proclaimed the word to the world when they hit with “Funky Broadway.”
All of these sources were influential, and by the end of the sixties every high school band was turning out covers of the biggest funk hits, whilst in towns across the US groups were forming using the instrumental template of the MG’s or the Meters—bass, drums, guitar and organ—to make their own creations. Established artists and record labels picked up on the trend also, adding the syncopated groove to their R&B to keep it contemporary. It was a glorious period which in today’s world is mined by collectors, DJs looking to fill a dance floor, and record producers looking for the perfect beat. This compilation reflects all of those different directions as we delve into the world of high quality and often super rare recordings that fill this release.
We open up with a slew of records that are in themselves dance floor classics. Mickey & the Soul Generation’s “Iron Leg”—an organ-based instrumental with a ferocious opening—was a rare groove that became one of the foundation stones for the acid jazz scene in the UK. Renaldo Domino’s “Let Me Come Within” is a later discovery. One of the Chicago based singer’s singles for Twinight—he also recorded for Smash and Blue Rock —it is unashamedly aimed for the floor. Sandy Gaye’s “Watch The Dog” is one of several songs that go by that name, none of them quite match this Richard Marx penned masterpiece. It was one of Gaye’s two shots at stardom, and although it didn’t reach, it is a worthy calling card. A similar point could be made about the Soul President’s “Get It Right,” one of Detroit’s finest funk records made for Ed McCoy’s Big Mack label.
In Miami, Clarence Reid and Little Beaver would find success in the 1970s as part of Henry Stone’s TK organization, which melded funk and early disco to world beating effect. Whilst they figured out how to reach the top, they made some stunning records on Saadia, Deep City, and a host of other labels. Our two pieces of Miami funk are both from the former label. Robert Moore went on to success with the group Miami, but his take “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” may be his best record. Powell Dowdell takes on “Good Things” and funks up what was originally a hot slice of R&B by Frank Williams. Although not related to the mainstream of Floridian ’70s music, “Party Time” by Black Soul Express shows the confidence of the Sunshine state’s music scene in that decade.
The midwestern hub for the music industry was Chicago. Home to major label distribution, Chess, Vee-Jay, and a host of smaller outfits, it had been known as an outlet for the blues, but where black music was concerned always kept itself up to date. “The Devastator” by Stormy is cutting edge for its 1967 release, and Joyce Williams “First Thing I Do In The Morning,” recorded for Richard Pegue’s Nickel label is suitably sensuous. Andrew Brown’s “You Made Me Suffer” is blues in form, but funky as hell in reality. One of the ultimate collector’s pieces.
Also from Chicago were Boscoe, whose independently pressed album on Kingdom Of Chad mixed black power, Egyptology, and other powerful influences to create a potent and enticing brew. In a similar vein are 24-Carat Black. Their debut album, Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth was issued on Stax’s Enterprise label and was gobbled up by sample hungry producers. It’s equally excellent follow up languished for 35 years before being unleashed, including a sublime take on the Mad Lad’s “Gone! The Promises Of Yesterday.”
Over on the west coast, “Gimme Little Sign” hit-maker Brenton Wood put together a local super-group—featuring the exceptional Gail Anderson on vocals—to demo his latest composition “Strike.” Naming the band Union, the 197_single was released on Matt Hill’s Mesa label. This was part of a small empire that Hill had put together largely focused on managing his brother, bluesy soul singer Z.Z.
By the early ’70s, great funk records were being made all over the U.S. It could be the Young Senators recording in Washington DC for Innovations, or We The People in Phoenix working with the always-on-the- pulse Mighty Mike Lenaburg. It could be in the deep south, such as Louisiana-based guitarist and bandleader Clifton White who made a handful of great singles with his group the Royal Knights for ANLA and the brilliant “The Grade A” for PMRC, before giving up the funk for a career playing Zydeco.
Our numbers are completed by the excellent Young Disciples from St Louis and their rare groove classic “Crumbs From The Table,” and obscure and hard to find recordings by Creations Unlimited, Black Sunshine, and Duracha filling out that definition of funk. So to answer that original question, all you have to do is give a spin to the music in this package, then repeat. You may not know the answer, but you will certainly feel it. | https://numerogroup.com/products/can-you-feel-that-beat-funk-45s-and-other-rare-grooves | 1,656,588,072 | null |

As a research and development centre dedicated to the promotion of sociological knowledge, the Institute of Sociology of the University of Porto gathers a body of highly qualified experts with an extensive experience in research.
To implement the strategic programme foreseen for the period 2020-2023, the Institute of Sociology is organised into two Research Groups, dedicated to studying the issues of Social Recompositions, Culture and Territory and Work, Family and Social Policies, which cover specific research challenges. The structure of activities of the Group Social Recompositions, Culture and Territory is based on the issues of Social Recompositions and Territories and Artistic Creation, Cultural Policies and Practices; moreover, the activities of the research Group Work, Family and Social Policies involve the fields of Work, Employment, Professions and Organisations and Family, Ageing and Gender. Earmarked with an intensive work programme, in terms of both projects and implementation indicators, the activities of the Research Groups of the Institute of Sociology are developed within the framework of very active national and international research networks.
With an extensive accumulated experience in scientific research on sociology, with a strong component for the development of multidisciplinary research, the activity of the Research Groups of the Institute of Sociology is geared to building leading sociological knowledge on the social reality, investing in the production of research on meaningful local and regional social processes. Since it promotes the acquisition of scientific knowledge from sociology's different theoretical traditions, the Unit supports research based on differentiated methodological approaches, from the more quantitative to the more qualitative ones, the latter including ethnography and socio-historic studies.
Since it significantly contributes to provide knowledge on national and regional realities, the Institute of Sociology of the University of Porto also plays a decisive role as a scientific infrastructure, providing access to sociological information on its Internet website and the website of the Open Repository of the University of Porto. In addition to these activities, the Institute of Sociology actively promotes national and international scientific debates on the discipline and the dissemination of leading sociological works done in the Unit - by supporting, among others, the edition of a collection of monographs, the organization of special collections, such as Cadernos da Pandemia, the edition of a series of working papers, and the dinamization of other scientific publications.
In conjunction with the objectives relating to the promotion of innovative knowledge on sociology, the mission of the Institute of Sociology is also crucial in terms of advanced scientific training, coordinating its activities with the works of the Department of Sociology of FLUP, in particular with its Doctoral Course in Sociology, whose students are hosted by the Institute of Sociology.
STRATEGIC PROGRAMME 2020-2023
Embracing the challenge of Open Science and Knowledge Transfer, IS-UP strategic objective for 2020-2023 period is to scale up and consolidate the capacity of IS-UP to put its sociological know-how at the service of communities, their well-being, and quality of life, with a specific focus on the North region of Portugal, and more so on the territories inside and bordering the Metropolitan Area of Porto.
IS-UP has already shown, on numerous occasions, the input it can bring to a wide array of players in civil society, public institutions, and the corporate world. The challenge ahead is to turn this into a core area of investment in the unit, which will involve building a renovated model of research management and communication, with appropriate infrastructures and qualified human resources. The ambition is to consolidate IS-UP as a relevant partner in the production of scientific knowledge that can inform decision-making processes and contributes to the socio-economic development of the region.
Specific objectives:
O1: Extend scientific sociological knowledge to new audiences.
O2: Put IS-UP as a key partner to be heard in defining the political agenda on topics where researchers are recognized experts. | https://isociologia.up.pt/index.php/en/estrategia | 1,657,146,436 | 1,657,145,807 |

Gender comes from the Latin genus, which means “kind” — any old kind of kind, not necessarily masculine and feminine. It was traditionally a technical term in grammar to describe the kinds of nouns and adjectives: in most European languages, they could be masculine, feminine, or (in a few languages) neuter.
According to the traditional distinction, nouns and adjectives have a gender, while people and animals have a sex. Language textbooks are careful to insist they're not the same thing: masculine isn't the same as male, nor is feminine the same as female. German Weib, for instance, means “wife,” by definition female; the noun, though, is neuter. And in many languages the distribution of nouns into masculine, feminine, and neuter seems pretty arbitrary. The very fact that other languages like Swahili have more than three genders should remind us it's unwise to map gender onto sex.
In the twentieth century, though, feminist theorists began to use the word gender in a newish way, to distinguish biology from society. In this scheme, your plumbing determines your biological sex; your social role determines your gender. As it happens, most biological males behave in socially masculine ways; most biological women behave in socially feminine ways — but the distinction allows us to discuss people who don't follow the norms, including transgendered people, those with XXY chromosomes, and biological hermaphrodites. If you care to observe this distinction, feel free — it's often useful.
It's probably unwise, though, to allow gender to edge out sex altogether. Once gender began to be used to describe people, it became first a synonym, and then a substitute, for sex. The word sex still provokes giggles, and I can understand why people who prepare questionnaires would be glad to see it disappear after finding the “Sex” blank on a form filled in with “Yes, please” for the jillionth time. Still, using gender to refer to biological sex should be avoided, except where it avoids confusion or ambiguity.
In either the traditional system, in which gender applies only to grammatical categories, or the more recent feminist theory, in which it describes a social role, the word shouldn't be used to describe biology, for which sex has long been the preferred word. In practical terms: an ultrasound can't tell you the gender of a fetus, though it may tell you the sex. Cats and dogs don't have a gender, they have a sex.

Generalizations.
Since the beginning of time, man has wrestled with the great questions of the universe. Humans have always sought to understand their place in creation. There is no society on earth that has not attempted to reckon with the human condition.
Balderdash. Generalizations like that are sure to sink your writing, because they almost always fall into one of two classes: the obvious and the wrong.
For starters, how do you know what has happened since the beginning of time? — is your knowledge of early Australopithecus robustus family structure extensive enough to let you compare it to Etruscan social organization? Have you read Incan religious texts alongside Baha'i tracts? Unless you've taken courses in omniscience, I'm guessing the answer's no. In that case, you're saying things you simply don't know, and certainly don't know any better than your audience. So it's either obvious to everyone, or a plain old lie.
Couching vacuous ideas in portentous prose impresses nobody. Simplicity, clarity, and precision will always win over ringing generalizations: don't think everything you write has to settle the mysteries of the ages in expressions worthy of Shakespeare. In the words of one of my favoritest writers in the whole wide world, Calvin Trillin, “When a man has nothing to say, the worst thing he can do is to say it memorably” (“Speak Softly,” in Too Soon to Tell [New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1995], p. 123). [Entry added 3 November 2000.]
Germanic Diction.

Gerund.

Grace.
Grace always trumps pedantry. Don't let rule-mongering make your prose unreadable. See Bugbears, Audience, Clarity, Prescriptive versus Descriptive Grammars, and Rules.
Grammar.
Grammar, strictly defined, is a comparatively narrow field: most questions native speakers have about a language deal not with grammar but with usage or style. Grammar is the more scientific aspect of the study of a language: it's made up of morphology (the forms words take, also known as accidence) and syntax (their relation to one another). Grammar gives names to the various parts of speech and their relations (see, in this guide, Adjectives and Adverbs, Antecedent, Apposition, Conjunctions, Prepositions, Imperative, First Person, Transitive and Intransitive Verbs, Direct and Indirect Objects, and Agreement), so it's useful in providing a vocabulary to discuss how language works. But if you're debating whether language should be concrete, or where to put only in a sentence, or when to use italics — strictly speaking, that's a question of usage or style rather than grammar. And some come down to nothing more than taste.
Linguists complain that the terms taught in school are inadequate for discussing the way our language really works. It's a fair cop: most of our grammatical categories are imported from Latin grammar, and often don't jibe well with English. Still, in this guide I tend to use the traditional terms, and for two reasons: first, I'm not a linguist, and am not up on the best scientific descriptions of the language; and second, few of my readers were taught the more modern system in school, which means explanations that depended on them would confuse rather than enlighten.
I should point out that this guide isn't intended to be a formal or systematic grammar, just a handy vade mecum (look it up) on effective style. I define grammatical terms only insofar as they're useful in improving usage. If you want real grammar, talk to the linguists, who know what they're talking about in a way I never will. (See Prescriptive versus Descriptive Grammars for further details.)
One more thing — for the love of Pete, please don't spell it “grammer,” unless you put “Kelsey” right in front of it. [Entry revised 26 Jan. 2001]
Grammar Checkers.
I have no problem with spelling checkers; while they sometimes miss typos, they rarely give advice that's downright wrong. Computerized grammar checkers, on the other hand, are a mess. They not only miss most of the serious problems, they actually give wretched advice, often telling you to fix something that's not broken. And of course they have no sense of grace, which means they can only apply rules pedantically with no sense of context. I've played with many of them, and have never seen one worth the CD-ROM it's printed on.
A fun experiment is to take some great work of literature and feed it to a grammar checker, and then to see what mincemeat it makes of it. Here are some mindless tips on the first sentence of Milton's Paradise Lost:
Consider revising. Very long sentences can be difficult to understand.
Avoid contractions like “flow'd” in formal writing (consider “flow had”).
Avoid the use of “Man” (try “he or she”).
“One greater Man restore” has subject-verb agreement problems.
“In the Beginning” should be “at first.”
“Or if Sion” should be “also if Sion.”
Milton's style is judged appropriate for a 98th-grade reading level. (Well, okay, that seems about right. But the rest is silly.)
Maybe someday I'll be pleasantly surprised, but for now, rely on your own knowledge when you revise and proofread. See also Spelling Checkers and Microsoft Word. [Revised 5 April 2001.]
Grow.
This word arouses a lot of passion, though I confess I don't understand why. Some people get downright furious when they come across grow used as a transitive verb. It became common when Bill Clinton made “grow the economy” part of his stump speech in the 1992 presidential elections, and since then it's become widespread in the media and in business writing.
Some people grumpily insist this usage is wrong, a perversion of the language that must be stamped out. The economy grows, they say, and you can even make the economy grow, but you can't grow the economy. The verb grow, they insist, is an intransitive verb, so it can't take a direct object.
The problem with this argument is that neither logic, nor grammar, nor usage bears it out. People have been growing corn and growing beards — both examples of grow as a transitive verb — since at least 1774: they mean “cause to grow” or “allow to grow.” There's no logical reason why you can't also grow the economy, or grow anything else you want to make bigger. The only unusual thing is that it's being applied to something that gets bigger metaphorically, rather than literally.
This doesn't mean you have to like the transitive grow, and you certainly don't have to use it. In fact, since many people get uptight about it, I'd advise you to avoid it in most writing, since it's not yet completely naturalized Standard English. I find it ugly, and avoid it myself. But that's really a matter of taste, not of grammar. There's no better reason to exclude it from the language.

We have all experienced dizziness, lightheadedness or imbalance at least once in a lifetime irrespective of age and gender. Sometimes a feeling of nausea and vomiting comes along with dizziness and sometimes it's just a case of simple dizziness.
You must be thinking what is dizziness? What is nausea? and what is vertigo (chakkar aana)? & How feeling nauseated is associated with it? Let me first clear the difference between nausea, dizziness & vertigo.
When a person experiences a sensation of uneasiness in the abdomen it is known as nausea.
Whereas a feeling of lightheadedness when a person feels dizzy or woozy and experiences a loss of balance it is known as dizziness. It can be caused by simple reasons like dehydration or lack of sleep or can be caused due to certain medical conditions like dips in blood pressure and sugar levels. If we talk about vertigo, A sensation of spinning where a room seems to spin around or a person feels he is spinning all by himself which in reality is not in any motion along with a loss of equilibrium such a condition is defined as vertigo.
Dizziness and vertigo both are the symptoms of various underlying causes rather than being an ailment itself. While nausea and vomiting are the most common set of symptoms that comes along with vertigo dizziness. When a person feels uneasy in the abdomen and abdomen muscles tighten up due to lightheadedness or dizziness, and a person starts feeling nauseated.
If you are experiencing nausea and vomiting along with spinning sensations, loss of balance and lightheadedness it indicates vertigo ( chakkar aana) condition. Dizziness and nausea, hand in hand, can even be caused due to migraine attacks and dips in blood pressure levels.
If you are feeling nauseated quite frequently due to vertigo or dizziness, it is advised to seek medical help. An expert neurologist will come to your aid and examine your condition closely by monitoring every vertigo and dizziness symptoms. After a thorough diagnosis of the underlying cause, he would suggest you with the right treatment as a cure for dizziness. If the underlying cause of dizziness is the side effects of certain medications or dips in blood pressure and sugar levels, he will either exchange or may ask you to stop taking tablets for dizziness cure. If you are diagnosed with vertigo condition which makes you feel dizzy and nauseated, he may prescribe certain antidepressants and sedatives tablets for the dizziness to prevent anxiety and early recovery.
By now you are all clear of the fact that nausea is a symptom of dizziness and dizziness is a symptom of various underlying causes. Nausea comes along with dizziness when the abdominal track gets triggered. It causes uneasiness in the abdomen which results in tightening the abdominal muscles and the gastrointestinal tract pushes the gastric content towards the mouth resulting in nausea and vomiting.
Here is a list of some common conditions experienced by patients that results in causing nausea and dizziness together:
Apart from common conditions like dehydration and food poisoning, there are various other conditions that result in making a person feel nauseated along with sensations of dizziness. Let's have a quick look
1. Peripheral and Central Vertigo conditions
As we all know vertigo is a symptom of various underlying causes, it is widely categorized into two parts: peripheral and central vertigo. An inflammation or infection in the vestibular nerve is known as peripheral vertigo whereas a problem in the brain or brain stem is known as central vertigo. BPPV, Meniere’s disease, Labyrinthitis, Vestibular neuritis are vestibular disorders that result in vertigo spells along with making a person lose balance or feel unsteady. Whereas Migraine, Multiple sclerosis, Cerebellar ataxia are central nervous system conditions that result in spinning sensations along with feeling unsteady. Both the conditions come with its own set of symptoms and vertigo is often accompanied by dizziness, nausea & vomiting.
2. Excessive consumption of alcohol
Excess intake of alcohol results in making a person feel dizzy thereby thinning your blood. Excessive consumption of alcohol results in irritating the stomach and makes a person feel nauseated along with sudden bouts of dizziness.
3. Motion sickness
If a person is suffering from motion sickness while riding in a vehicle, it often results in making a person feel dizzy along with nausea.
4. Pregnancy
We all know, morning sickness and dizziness are common occurrences in the initial trimester of pregnancy due to changes in hormones.
5. Anxiety
Stress and anxiety attacks are common conditions that are faced by many. It results in making a person feel dizzy along with shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, sweating, nausea and so on.
6. Side effects of certain antibiotics
Certain antidepressant medicines or sedatives show side effects on the human body. Lack of sleep, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, etc. are the most common adverse effects of certain medications.
7. Low Blood Sugar or Hypoglycemia
Dips in sugar level make a person lose balance and feel nauseated. A person suffering from diabetes is more at risk of such a condition.
8. Hypotension or low blood pressure
When a blood pressure level of a person drops below the normal range it results in making a person feel nauseated and dizzy.
9. Migraines
Migraines cause severe headaches on one side of the head along with blurred vision, thereby resulting in making a person feel dizzy and nauseated.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Treating nausea and dizziness entirely depends on the underlying cause. An expert neurologist will first diagnose the condition closely by seeking the complete medical history of the patient. He will closely monitor dizziness symptoms to identify the underlying cause and will ask you to undergo certain medical tests. MRI, CT scan, vestibular tests, etc. are certain tests that are carried out by doctors to evaluate the condition closely that is responsible for causing dizziness and nausea. He will prescribe certain sedatives, tablets for dizziness, anti-vertigo medications, dopamine, etc. depending on the underlying condition as a cure for dizziness and nausea along with the underlying condition. It is advised not to self-medicate and consult an expert medical professional to get you diagnosed and treated.
With the right diagnosis of your medical condition, you will get the right treatment on time thereby preventing symptoms from getting persistent and the condition from getting chronic. For speedy and early recovery from dizziness and nausea that is affecting your well-being, it's time to seek medical help immediately.

Renewable energy advocates rally Oct. 29 at the state Capitol in Springfield for the passage of the Clean Energy Jobs Act. The measure has stalled in the Statehouse amid federal investigations of energy giant Exelon, and there is no indication the bill will move anytime soon. (Photo by Jerry Nowicki/Capitol News Illinois)
SPRINGFIELD — Hundreds of clean energy advocates gathered Oct. 29 at the Capitol to show support for the Clean Energy Jobs Act, a carbon-cutting reform package that has stalled at the state government level amid ongoing federal investigations.
Those in attendance were part of the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition, which is made up of hundreds of environmental groups, health care professionals, environmental justice activists, businesses and community leaders, consumer advocates, labor unions, and faith-based organizations.
The group warned of a “full climate crisis” and held signs urging “CEJA NOW,” a reference to legislation contained in House Bill 3624 and Senate Bill 2132. The goal of those bills is to achieve 100 percent renewable electricity production in Illinois by 2050 and to create a carbon-free energy grid in the state by 2030.
Advocates said the Clean Energy Jobs Act would result in more than 40 million solar panels and 2,500 wind turbines, which is enough to power 4 million homes, being built in Illinois by 2030. It would also aim to electrify the state’s vehicle fleet among several other provisions.
“I’m fighting to ensure that the people of Illinois — from one end of the state to the other — have the opportunity to benefit from the growing clean energy economy,” said state Sen. Cristina Castro (D-Elgin), chief Senate sponsor of CEJA. “The Clean Energy Jobs Act offers a comprehensive plan to make a low-cost, prosperous clean energy future a reality.”
But multiple aspects of the bill, including carbon cutting by 2030 and capacity procurement reforms in northern Illinois, would benefit Exelon, the parent company of ComEd, which is the largest electric utility in Illinois.
ComEd and multiple Statehouse regulars who have worked on behalf of the company have been the subject of FBI subpoenas pertaining to state government corruption in recent weeks. The investigations have fueled speculation that lawmakers would be unwilling to move any legislation forward that would benefit the company.
On Monday, however, a Clean Jobs Coalition spokesperson told Crain’s Chicago Business that the group’s committee “voted to suspend talks with the utilities,” including Exelon.
While several of the bills’ Democratic supporters spoke at the Capitol rally Tuesday, they did not give a legislative schedule update on a potential hearing for the bills, which continue to await committee assignments.
“Illinoisans are already feeling the effects of climate change, and no one is more aware of these threats than the young people who will have to live with them the longest and the marginalized communities that feel these effects most intensely already,” CEJA chief House sponsor Rep. Ann Williams (D-Chicago) said. “Passing the Clean Energy Jobs Act will not only reduce pollution that threatens our health, environment and livelihoods; it will also expand the economy to work for more of us and make Illinois a better business environment for the next generation.”
During the rally Tuesday, the Illinois Chamber of Commerce released a statement opposing the measure.
Chamber President Todd Maisch called the carbon dioxide limitations and timelines in the bill “unrealistic,” and called the capacity auction changes “another subsidy for Exelon.”
The capacity market reforms would remove Illinois from a multi-state auction to purchase energy capacity, allowing the state to conduct the auction.
Advocates said that would be beneficial to the state because it would allow for greater authority to choose energy sources that emit less carbon. Maisch said it would narrow the amount of energy producers taking part in the auction, therefore driving up costs.
Previously, lawmakers had spoken of combining CEJA and multiple other energy bills into one comprehensive energy reform package, but all of the bills appear to be stalled at the moment.
While CEJA advocates say they will continue to push for their package of reforms, Maisch said future energy legislation could be vastly different than anything that has been presented thus far.
“If the bill’s going to pass, it’s not a bill that you or I have seen yet. It still needs to be constructed,” he said.

Africa’s largest country lies just a short hop from Europe. The north, with its snow-flecked mountains and stunning coastline, is home to urbane and charismatic cities such as Algiers and Constantine, as well as some of the most magnificent Roman sites in existence including Timgad and Djemila, both vast, perfectly preserved Roman towns with barely another tourist in sight.

A U.S. congressional election campaign dominated by the war in Iraq is drawing to a close, with opposition Democrats expecting to make gains when the vote takes place on Tuesday. VOA national correspondent Jim Malone has the latest on the midterm congressional election from Washington.
Late opinion polls suggest Republicans may be narrowing the gap with Democrats in some key congressional races, especially in half a dozen close Senate contests that will determine which party controls that chamber for the next two years.
Democrats remain confident about their prospects to win control of the 435-member House of Representatives for the first time since 1994. Most experts predict the Democrats will gain the 15 seats they need to retake the House.
The prospects for Democratic control of the Senate are less certain. Democrats need to pick up six seats to gain a majority there and they would have to sweep most of the close Senate races now underway in Missouri, Virginia, Maryland, Montana and Rhode Island. Four of those seats are currently held by Republicans.
In the final hours of the campaign, both parties focused on getting their core supporters to turn out at the polls on Tuesday.
Senator Chris Dodd campaigned for fellow Democrats in the northeastern state of Connecticut.
"Two more days and Democrats are going to take back the House of Representatives and the United States Senate and we are back on the trail again here," he said.
President Bush also kept a busy campaign schedule on behalf of Republican candidates around the country. The president urged voters to ignore opinion polls and experts that predict Democratic victories on election day.
President Bush speaks at a campaign rally in Pensacola, Florida, Nov. 6, 2006
"Whatever you do, do not pay any attention to the prognosticators, the pundits," he said. You see, a bunch of them have already decided that the verdict is in. But they forgot that the folks in Kansas have not gotten to the polls yet."
Perhaps no Senate race is closer than the one in Missouri between the Republican incumbent, Jim Talent, and his Democratic challenger, Claire McCaskill.
Both of them rallied supporters in the final hours of the campaign.
"Keep pushing. Another 48 hours and we will win this election," said Talent.
"We are going to win when it counts on Tuesday," said McCaskill.
Democrats remain optimistic about their election chances in large part because of public unhappiness over the war in Iraq and President Bush's low approval rating.
"The decisive issue is Iraq," said public opinion pollster John Zogby. "It is what has divided this country and it is what has lost popularity for the president and for the Republicans."
Republicans are counting on a repeat of their superior get-out-the-vote effort in recent election campaigns to limit Democratic gains on Tuesday.
In addition to the 435 House seats, 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate are at stake and 36 states will elect governors on Tuesday. Voters in 37 states will also be asked to vote on an assortment of ballot questions on issues that include abortion, homosexual marriage, and embryonic stem cell research. | http://language.chinadaily.com.cn/2006-11/07/content_726652.htm | 1,656,288,716 | null |

The latest trend going around the social media platforms is how its going versus how it started. This got us thinking back to why we started honeybeeBase.
When we first started developing the honeybeeBase solution over a decade ago, we needed an easier way to handle employee management. Our time cards were on excel spreadsheets. Our vacation requests were being handled with a piece of paper. Our task lists were a jumbled mess of forms, spreadsheets, and scrap pieces of paper. We knew we needed a better solution.
That is why over the last decade we developed the honeybeeBase solution. We wanted a solution that integrated multiple management needs into one system. As an operator of fifty plus restaurants, a maintenance tech company, and several other businesses, we needed something that was easy to use but fully integrated.
Now we lead our business off the honeybeeBase platform. It is our one stop solution for:
Scheduling
Time Clock
Tasks and Project Tracking
Time Off Requests
Absence Tracking
Counseling Reports / Employee Write Ups
Quizzes and Training
File sharing
As entrepreneurs ourselves (read more about it on out About Us page), we understand the needs of small business. That is why we kept our pricing easy to understand and simple. The investment is $2 per user per month.
(For those larger businesses we offer a bulk package of $89 per month with no per user fee and up to 100 users.)

Comic Future artist Liz Craft and her Paradise Garage co-founder, Penti Monkkonen, are responsible for organizing “Los Angeles’s newest” (and coolest) art fair: Paramount Ranch. Artforum recaps the festivities:
It was the weekend of the Big Game and tensions were high.
“Stoooners!”
“Where’s the Stoned team?”
“Seriously, guys—get on the field! It’s game time!”
Emerald-teed Team Stoned stumbled onto the part of a dusty parking lot marked up to resemble a soccer field, as their red-shirted opponents—Team Drunk—roared cheers from a formidable-looking huddle. Less than ten seconds after the first whistle, one of Drunk’s forwards sent an impassioned kick toward the Stoned goalie, who was casually chatting with a passing stranger. The ball flew by him, easily sailing through the parking cone goalposts. Team Drunk erupted into howls and fist-pumps. Team Stoned dissolved into disparaging grumbles: “Cooome on, man! You gotta watch the goal, if you’re going to play…” “That guy asked me a question!” the goalie protested. Needless to say, what followed was a pummeling akin to that of this weekend’s other big game (The Puppy Bowl).
Drunk vs Stoned was Scott Reeder and Tyson Reeder’s contribution to Paramount Ranch, Los Angeles’s newest art fair, masterminded by Paradise Garage’s Liz Craft and Pentti Monkkonen and fresh transplants Robbie Fitzpatrick and Alex Freedman. Paramount Ranch eschewed the convention centers, expo halls, and airport hangers of other fairs, installing thirty-some galleries and artists-run spaces in an eponymous prop Western town tucked into the Santa Monica Mountains. Once known as Rancho Las Virgenes, in its sixty years as a movie set the ranch has appeared on screen as everything from Old Salem to an isle in the South Pacific. Most attendees knew it—if at all—as the set of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but apparently it’s also a hotspot for theme weddings.
The fair was free to all who made the journey, and closed at sundown. (The latter was less a nod to cinematic tropes than deference to the National Park Service, who maintains the site.) “We prefer to think of it not so much as a commercial fair than as a community street festival,” Fitzpatrick explained. “Our mission has really been to connect these new, young, globetrotting galleries, but in a way that’s more interesting than just another white-cube fair.” Outfits like Supportico Lopez, Neue Alte Brücke, Misako & Rosen, and Essex Street settled behind the old-timey facades of the General Store, the Great Bend Jail, and Hotel Mud Bug, while 356 Mission/Ooga Booga headquartered in the open-air Depot (where Teams Drunk and Stoned pre-gamed at a finger-painting station).
“If you’re going to have to have a hangover, this is a pretty sweet place to spend it,” dealer François Ghebaly mused from the sun-soaked porch of the Barn, where he was showing some coltish Mike Kuchar drawings. Over outside the Saloon, two cowboys wearing little more than their hats, boots, and limited edition Artists Space Stewart Uoo scarves sunned themselves in front of a red pick-up truck. “I tried to get us some Hollister models, but we ended up with porn stars,” director Stefan Kalmár admitted. | https://www.ballroommarfa.org/tag/paradise-garage/ | 1,656,421,002 | 1,656,421,002 |

Award-winning swimwear inventors Lucy and Lerryn needed some support of their own, getting their online store ready for international customers. Their digital marketing consultant recommended us.
“We paint a picture, and you make it happen.”
Halto is an award-winning invention, by sisters Lucy Cox and Lerryn Ryall, which lets ladies wear halterneck swimwear without neck pain. The company’s growing fast, and its WooCommerce site needed to accept orders in other currencies – as well as improving speed and security, and some SEO-related tweaks.
Lucy told us: “You listened and really understood what we needed to achieve. You clearly laid out all the options and costs, and everything worked first time. The speed of the site was a huge improvement.
“When we ask for things, you are very quick and you don’t mind that we know very little about website design and programming. We paint a picture of what we want, and you make it happen.”
“A great man for the job.”
We’ve carried on working with Halto since those initial improvements, to keep the site working well as the company continues to expand. It’s satisfying to have played even a small part in their success.
Lucy says: “You feel like an integral part of our team – someone we can trust with our web issues. Now, it’s about you highlighting potential issues before they become a problem, which is perfect! We only wish we’d brought you into the team sooner.
“Our digital marketing consultant suggested you as a great man for the job – and he was right! :)”
Our business is growing and so will the requirements of the website. It’s important to us that we work with people who ‘get us’ and just do a great job first time… which you do! | https://differnetdigital.com/case-study/halto/ | 1,657,091,304 | null |
Hynet is an ambitious Government backed project to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10m tonnes every year by 2030 – the equivalent of taking 4m cars off the road. Hynet aims to reduce fossil fuel use and replace it with low carbon hydrogen in industry, transport and heating. Low carbon hydrogen will be produced, transported and stored across the North West and North Wales via a new infrastructure of pipelines, production plants and storage facilities. Hynet also state that via a series of different elements and infrastructure CO2 emissions will be captured and stored by industries which cannot move to a low carbon fuel. Hynet say that the project is a ” real catalyst for clean growth” and will create thousands of jobs and investment for the region, and improve air quality for a “cleaner, greener future for the years to come. “
Back in January the Hynet plans for Cheshire and beyond were discussed at an event at Storyhouse . MP Chris Matheson chaired the event and commented that “I believe we could lead the way in West Cheshire, but I also understand why some people have reservations. I have talked many times about how we need to mobilise industry to tackle the climate crisis, to create the green jobs of the future and to work collaboratively to re-think how we create energy, manage waste and reduce carbon. “. The debate can be viewed here:
The council have welcomed the initiative with plans recently revealed for huge CO2 pipeline network at Protos in Ellesmere Port. Hydrogen production plants will be built at nearby Stanlow. The Council have also proposed Ellesmere Port as the UK’s first “hydrogen village” with residents supported in the move away from natural gas to hydrogen for heating and cooking.
Hynet infrastructure plans for the region
The full Hynet vision can be viewed here
Cheshire West and Chester Green party are opposing the plans. Leader Nicholas Brown offers he following comments . The article below is the opinion of Cwac Green party and are NOT endorsed by The Chester Blog or @shitchester.
Local Green party leader Nicolas Brown
” Hynet is a programme that takes a number of different fossil fuel organisations and high carbon dioxide producers and users, and puts them together in one well-funded programme that is going to take place in Cheshire. Their business aims to produce Hydrogen to use as a fuel, capture the emissions and store them under the sea. If Hynet reduced CO2 emissions as they say, we would be in favour of it, however this is yet an unproven technology with most scientific evidence and peer reviewed data saying that at best, it is a distraction to allow fossil fuel companies to continue business as usual.
“We currently use natural gas to heat our homes, cook our food and for a number of industrial uses. The Blue hydrogen produced by Hynet has the potential to create more CO2 and Methane than the current output accelerating the effects of climate change. Hynet’s assumptions of this being a ‘low carbon solution’ are based on what we call “carbon capture and storage”. The idea is that there are empty oil and gas fields under the Liverpool Bay, and they are going to take the carbon dioxide produced by the hydrogen plants and they will pump it into the bay. When its full they are going to put a concrete cap over it where it will stay forever. Monitored for potentially thousands of years.
“Hydrogen can be Grey, Blue or Green. Grey hydrogen is where natural gas fossil fuels are pumped out of the ground and, using a huge amount of energy, a plant breaks it down into hydrogen and other component parts. You have large Carbon and methane emissions and leakage at the emission points and in the pipes. Just look at the recent oil pipe leak in Liverpool Bay from ENi, Hynets partner responsible for piping the Carbon back out to sea. This is very polluting.
“This Grey Hydrogen only turns to Blue Hydrogen when the emissions are then captured and stored somewhere. Money is being pumped into this and they aren’t green jobs it’s just rebranded fossil fuel. This will be based on the existing Essar oil site. They will need to do some remedial work to get the pipe into the Liverpool Bay and there will be consultations on how people will be affected. It requires a huge amount of energy to get the gas back into the ground as well. It is complicated, polluting and not required.
“Carbon Capture and Storage has been done in 4 places in the world and they only capture a maximum of 43% of the CO2 they are emitting. Hynet are suggesting that they will capture close to 80%, but have no evidence of how they aim to achieve this level. This is an unproven technology that hasn’t been done on a large scale before. Their plans are to build a hydrogen plant that is burning significant quantities of natural gas, producing more emissions than just using natural gas as we do today and their answer to the problem is to stuff it away under the sea and not worry about it. Kick the can down the road and let future generations worry about the consequences.
“Green hydrogen uses renewable energy such as wind turbines to create electricity. Using this energy water is electrolysed splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen gets pumped to wherever its being used. When this burns its only emission is water…Amazing! However, it requires a huge amount of green electricity to produce and a huge amount of land. A new plant is being built in Northern Ireland called GenComm which will use excess wind energy to store as hydrogen. This is the future, NOT Blue Hydrogen.
“This is being tested out here and it’s never been done in the UK. The government is giving significant money to the oil companies to test this. Cheshire is the preferred site because it’s all ready to go. The hydrogen switchover is similar to when it was revealed smoking caused cancer, the response from the tobacco companies was to bring out low tar cigarettes not to stop people smoking. This is the same problem!
“The gas is going to come from Russia or Continental Africa, or it will be home grown. There was a comment from someone in the Conservative party who said the British people need to “suck it up” and accept earthquakes because we need home grown gas. It seems the Conservatives are desperate to restart fracking and a hydrogen plant is desperate to suck in huge amounts of gas. We either import it or frack it. It won’t be long until local fracking is back on the cards. One of the Hynet partners is Ineos, and they were part of the fracking team that we all fought against a few years back.
“I would ask Chris Matheson to support our campaign and to stand up to the Government. The Government currently give 25 million pounds a day to the oil companies. That’s just to support them, they’re making record profits and they’ve put our prices up significantly and they’re still getting these huge quantities of cash thrown at them. Reduce the money we give to these companies and put it into home insulation and renewables, so we wouldn’t be linked to gas and oil prices from Russia and around the world, and we wouldn’t have this threat of fracking hanging over us.
“You can go to a shop today and you can buy insulation for your home, and you can buy a heat pump. The technology is there. A heat pump is like a fridge in reverse. As a fridge sucks out warm air and spits it out the back, a heat pump sucks the air from outside, heats it and it’s pumped into your home. They are super-efficient. If you had 100kwh of electricity, with a normal one bar heater it would emit 86kwh, so it would be 86% efficient. A heat pump is 270% efficient, compared to hydrogen which is 46% efficient, there’s no contest. If you insulate your home as well you are taking yourself off the gas grid and you’re not kowtowing to international funding, regulations and gas. We can do that now, today.
“The Green Party want more wind and solar farms. When building new homes, Cheshire West could make it so all that new homes had to have solar panels and be insulated to a high standard. If we insulate to a Passivhaus standard (or even slightly lower) we are taking people away from fuel poverty. The council could refuse planning unless certain standards are met. Meanwhile Chris Matheson could lean on the government to redivert the money given to the oil companies to renewable sources. Our economy is intrinsically linked to Big Oil. There are Government Ministers with shares or work in consultancies with the oil companies, and it does provide thousands of jobs. However, it is complete contradiction to our COP26 commitments. Green jobs are being touted – yes, a lot will be invested, but the transitional technology for Hynet’s “Blue hydrogen” and Sustainable ‘Green Hydrogen’ is completely different.
“The arguments for it are you will have hydrogen coming out of the plants to your homes and businesses, that will power us through the next twenty years without upsetting the current power structure with oil and gas companies at the top, dictating policy. It will maintain or create jobs and we can give hydrogen to the industrial sites to make glass and steel. By 2030 aim to reduce emissions- there’s no contract to say they need to do that. Their contract is simply to produce the hydrogen.
“Globally there is a massive battle against the continuation of big oil and fracking for Blue Hydrogen. We have even called in the Avengers to help us fight. The Hulk- we were in a meeting with him. Mark Ruffalo is a massive anti fracking and blue hydrogen campaigner and willing to stand up against this type of destructive industry across the world.
“The most efficient thing to do is to remove hydrogen and use green electricity via a heat pump and a fully insulated house. Industrially you can’t use heat pumps, to make glass etc, so you will need some liquid or gas fuel, but again blue hydrogen has got higher emissions than the current gas so you might as well use the current gas until we find an alternative solution.
“All of the green groups in Cheshire, Merseyside and North Wales are combining like they did with fracking. I would urge people in Helsby and across Cheshire to contact their MP and their local councillor. We don’t know how turning off gas and replacing it with hydrogen will affect house insurance as it has never been done before! What will happen with house prices in Helsby if you only have hydrogen heating in place? We have a chance of slowing it down if councils don’t support it, as happened with fracking. Job creation can come from green energy, wind turbines or solar, you also have insulation of homes. We haven’t got many heat pump engineers or insulation engineers and this is an area of business growth. The University should focus on training these skills instead of blindly supporting Hynet, desperate for funding scraps. The people that work on oil sites and that are looking for work need to be upskilled to do real green jobs. They need to do this instead of supporting the fossil fuel companies and rebranding it as hydrogen. | https://thechesterblog.com/2022/05/18/cwac-green-party-slam-hynet-plans/ | 1,656,451,018 | null |
An urban explorer who goes by the name of Triangle of Mass has explored an abandoned Walmart and documented it all in two videos on TikTok and YouTube. The TikTok video showed a short preview:
@triangleofmass
Abandoned Walmart #urbex #exploring #walmart #abandonedwalmart #triangleofmass #urbex #walmart #abandoned
♬ original sound – bee :-))
The full video was uploaded to YouTube, giving a longer look inside the shuttered store:
The video was shot with snow on the ground. The location of the store is not known. It begins with an introduction outside of a Walmart Garden Center. The camera then glides into a fire exit that appeared to have been left open, providing access to go inside.
Entering the warehouse-sized abandoned Walmart, it’s immediately clear that the electricity was left at least partially on for some lighting. Triangle of Mass then walks past what looks to be the pharmacy area and eyecare counter:
The area on the left appeared to be the pharmacy, with the customer service desk in blue straight ahead. (Courtesy: Triangle of Mass/YouTube)
Next up are the front doors to the store, which appeared to have been boarded up:
It’s unclear how long the Walmart in the video had been abandoned.
After walking past the customer service desk and through the in-store pickup area, Triangle of Mass then shows the back side of the store:
Employee lockers were left open in the back of the abandoned Walmart.
Near the lockers was an inspirational quote meant for employees to see. It read: “At Walmart, one man or woman can affect the future. Our future lies in our associates.” It’s credited to the company’s founder, Sam Walton:
Sam Walton opened the first Walmart in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas.
Near the end of the video, he points the camera at what looks like computer servers of some sort. The video concludes with a shot of the massive emptiness inside the old, abandoned Walmart:
Walking out of the in-store pickup area in the back of the store.
We reached out to Triangle of Mass by email for a short interview. “There are a few Walmart’s that are abandoned, but to actually see the inside of a former Walmart is rather super creepy… to see it that empty,” he said. Back in the room with the servers, he said he saw that “everything” was left inside and that he could hear a “creepy alarm” going off.
While some readers might not have any interest in abandoned, rotting buildings, to others, abandoned places can offer a very unique feeling of history and nostalgia that can be difficult to describe. There’s no shortage of YouTube videos that provide tours of abandoned places, and many of them have millions of views.
In the past, we reported on an abandoned McDonald’s that Triangle of Mass explored. At the time, he told us, “I honestly think abandoned places are so fascinating [because] everything was at one point active.” No matter if it’s an abandoned house, store, or outdoors location, he said he felt that there was something special about it. “Someone may have walked those halls, and now everything is just so different. It’s no longer active. [It] just sits there decaying.” | https://www.snopes.com/articles/411722/abandoned-walmart/ | 1,656,686,552 | 1,656,686,550 |

The City’s budget describes how much money the City will raise and spend within a year to align its finances with the City’s priorities and services to residents. The budget also guides decisions on what City infrastructure will be purchased, built and repaired.
The City is required by provincial law to balance its operating budget each year, which means that the money spent must be equal to the money raised. To balance the budget, the City can either increase its revenues using tools, such as property taxes and fees or through managing expenses, by changing or reducing the cost of services.
The City’s BudgetTO web page provides the latest information on the City’s proposed 2020 Budget and the 2020 Budget process. In addition, City Council has adopted a Long-Term Financial Plan which provides a framework for longer-term decision-making, including strategies to facilitate multi-year, integrated, strategic decision-making. | https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/accountability-operations-customer-service/get-involved-how-government-works/the-citys-finances/ | 1,656,824,142 | null |

EclipseLink Component Leads and Developers,
I have been working on an initial roadmap and want to start working on a more concrete plan for an initial milestone as we move towards a 1.0 release. I would like to get a concrete set of exit criteria for 1.0M1 and then we can work backwards on what needs to be done and pull together a schedule.
My rough thinking on what we may want to include
Deliver the functionality included in the initial contribution. No new features planned beyond what has been done.
Add descriptions on RoadMap as well as document the use cases that users should expect to work
Complete initial component organization of source and tests
Automated build process - nightly?
Testing
Automated nightly testing on MySQL or Derby?
LRG defined and working for OracleDB and MySQL/Derby that developers can use to validate check-ins
Server testing available for manual execution?
JPA CTS run by Oracle
Packaging
Only JAR and src.ZIP (No OSGi bundle for this milestone)
Ensure proper about.html file(s) created and populated
Distributable incubation.zip with allowed dependencies and document for additional required dependencies
Wiki Content
Organize content to clearly address users versus those who wish to develop or integrate EclipseLink
Users: How to get started with EclipseLink JPA, EclipseLink MOXy, and EclipseLink SDO
Developers: Explain components, how to build, how to test
Please provide your feedback on this list any any other items you feel we need to address. If there are functional bugs then we should get them filed in the Eclipse bugzilla and add them to the exit criteria.
This milestone is targeted at early adopters and is not an official Eclipse release as we are still an incubation project. The priority is getting through a milestone and working out the processes. I want to plan milestone builds at a relatively fixed so consumers can gain confidence and rely on our scheduling.
Please provide you feedback by the end of the week (COB Friday September 14th) and we can schedule a meeting for next week to discuss open issues and nail down our exit criteria. | https://www.eclipse.org/lists/eclipselink-dev/msg00128.html | 1,656,751,458 | 1,578,593,477 |

Adherence to the barbell movement form model is a consistent theme throughout Starting Strength. The classic “You're Not Doing The Program” (YNDTP) applies not only to programming but to form too. This means that whenever and wherever possible, the lifter is coached and expected to “adapt the movement to the model.” This is not done for any reason other than it works: it uses the greatest effective range of motion, recruits the most muscle mass, and gets lifters stronger, faster. For the squat, press, deadlift, bench press and power clean, there are specific form points of performance as described and illustrated in the book Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training 3rd edition.
In some cases the lifter has to modify the execution of the lift to accommodate the “major” points of the performance of the model, lest the Perfect be the enemy of the Good. It is only after careful thought, diligence in coaching the standard version, and a determination that a modification is actually necessary that a modification should be allowed. The majority of the time, the lifter can adapt to the standard approach to the model. Lifters and coaches alike must recognize that the less the lift is modified from the standard form – the approach to the model that works for the vast majority of people most of the time – the more likely the lifter is to be successful.
The correct grip for the squat positions the hand as close to the shoulder as possible, thumb over the bar, wrist in slight extension – a neutral wrist position – all four fingers in contact with the bar, and the bar jammed into the base of the palm. This grip allows the forearm to carry a portion of the load and control the bar. The majority of the load is carried on the shelf created below the spine of the scapulae, on the posterior deltoids of the shoulders, and the forearms, while keeping the load off of an overextended wrist. The thumbs-over-the-bar grip prevents lots of problems, if it is done correctly.
As it turns out, two different and very common errors in the squat involve the wrists: both overextension and flexion of the wrist cause other more important problems. Overextension of the wrist is associated with shoulder overextension, causing the elbows to be too high. In contrast, when the wrist is flexed, the hand will usually be too high on the bar and the heel of the palm will not be in good contact with the bar. The cause of poor wrist position is usually a lack of correct instruction and practice, a prominent thoracic kyphosis, or poor shoulder mobility that limits humeral external rotation causing overextension.
All of these can cause poor wrist position, the bar to sit higher than needed above the spine of the scapulae, thoracic flexion, and poor control of the bar, rolling it forward/up in the bottom of the squat. And once a lifter gets in the habit of carrying the bar incorrectly, it becomes hard to tell it's happening, and as a result hard to correct. What starts out as a small coaching problem can easily creep into a major structural issue for the whole kinetic chain.
To correct the problem quickly, we may allow the lifter to wrap their thumbs around the bar. Wrapping the thumbs around the bar lowers the hand, forearm, and elbow, reducing the amount of shoulder external rotation required. Lowering the elbows brings them into better alignment with the trunk, reduces or eliminates shoulder overextension, and places the forearms in compression under the load. The grip can then be narrowed, the wrist straightened, and the upper back held tighter to carry the load of the bar. This also allows for the bar to be placed lower on the back for better access to the posterior chain and hip drive.
We may also use the thumb-around-the-bar grip modification for lifters who have poor thumb mobility, osteoarthritis of the thumb, bicep tendinitis or medial elbow valgus syndrome. If a lifter complains of a painful thumb, the thumb-around-the-bar grip usually eliminates this problem.
Bicep tendinitis is most likely due to the recruitment of shoulder overextension, lack of proper bar placement control, or over-gripping the bar. Allowing the thumb to be wrapped around the bar can correct this by lowering the hand, dropping the elbow down and decreasing the extension angle of the shoulder. This creates more bar stability over the mid-foot.
If a lifter has pain in the medial elbow structures – Golfer's elbow – this may due to placing the elbow under too much load from high elbows. If the lifter cannot take a correct thumbs-over grip, wrapping the thumb around the bar can improve the control and stability of the bar and reduce the valgus stress by improving elbow position. This also reduces the tendency of the lifter to pull downward on the bar through the hand instead of allowing the bar to be supported in compression on the heel of the palm.
Experience is a great teacher, if the experience is acquired while trying to do things correctly – lots of people have lots of experience doing things wrong, and mistake this for expertise. Lifters and their coaches should always work hard to adhere to the correct squat form model before making any modifications. But if all else fails, try the thumbs-around-the-bar grip and work towards resolving the underlying causes. Then, revisit the thumbs-over-the-bar grip and you may find that over time you’re able to do it correctly. | https://startingstrength.com/training/the-squat-thumbs-around-grip | 1,656,780,024 | null |

The main function of acoustic applications is to absorb sound. In addition to achieving the desired result in terms of sound, it is of course a great challenge to also be able to make the acoustic elements into a real eye-catcher. The behavior of vibrations and sound is complex. Leather seems to be made to make acoustics look beautiful too.

ACOUSTIC BROOM – SUEDE MOUTON [wall] and ACOUSTIC BARR – TUNDRA CLAY [furniture bottom right] location: Waalwijk Alphenberg Flagship Store
Alphenberg started in 2019 making acoustic applications for spaces in which sound and atmosphere play the leading role. A fantastic new development that, as we can proudly say, has exceeded expectations.
What brought Alphenberg to the field of acoustic solutions?
After more than 10 years of experience in the field of leather applications in the interior, Alphenberg is well acquainted with the fact that leather has a softening and fire-retardant effect. But developing and making acoustic walls that meet the required values is something else. Yet, Alphenberg recognized the opportunities. And thus, within a year, a product was created that, according to us, has exceeded our expectations by far. It is obvious that the process of developing a high-quality product does not always come easy. Complexity simply requires deeper research. And visual beauty, as a grand result, adds to the challenge.
The interior of one of the rooms in the NACH (New Amsterdam Court House) in which the lower part clearly shows the BROOM acoustic walls.
When you walk into a room, you experience the acoustics.
NACH (New Amsterdam Court House)
(New Amsterdam Court House)
In June 2019 we were approached to solve a problem that arose during the development of the construction of the NACH. The courthouse in Amsterdam on the Parnassusweg. The Borrenbergs company from Eersel, who were responsible for maintenance and supply of window decorations in the new courthouse, asked if we could handle an ambitious project. There were problems in all court rooms with the intended cladding of the walls. These walls, constructed in a technique that did not meet the required fire safety standard, had not passed the required tests and were therefore rejected.

How does the marking system work and what do the scores signify?
Open spaces, sleek materials and minimalist furnishings are beautiful but not always conducive to the acoustics. Using materials such as marble, glass, concrete and stone, sound is given free rein in open spaces, with undesired reverberation as a result. An increasingly popular solution is the use of special acoustic panels.
What do we mean with acoustics?
Acoustics is the way in which sound can be heard in a room and how it spreads. By acoustics we also mean the influence that a room has on sound and the reverberation of sound.
Sound travels through the air and bounces off hard surfaces such as a floor, a ceiling or a wall. This creates reflections and reverberation. It helps us orientate and it gives us an indication of the size of the space.
But sometimes it interferes with the audibility. Each room has its own acoustics. When there is a lot of sound reflection, it takes a while for the sound to die away. It is called reverberation and it can be calculated and measured.
To investigate the acoustics of a room, the reverberation time, sound transmission, echo and audibility are, among other things, examined.
Sometimes one has to meet with legal requirements for the reverberation time, as demanded by a national building decree.
Acoustics and technical terms: to measure is to know
There are several single-number values that indicate the absorbance value: NRC, Alpha w, Alpha.
NRC Value
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is the technical name for a value that indicates how much noise a material absorbs. The higher the value, the better an acoustic panel absorbs sound.
The most ideal value is 1, which corresponds with 100% absorption. In acoustics this is also referred to as an ‘open window’. All sound disappears through it and does not come back. | https://alphenberg.com/products/acoustics/acoustic/ | 1,656,349,827 | null |

NICKERSON — Three years ago, the Hiatt family decided to start a new adventure by transforming a couple of acres of farmland into an industrial hemp field. Each year they learn, and each year they pivot. Sometimes a little; sometimes a lot. Across the nation, hemp farmers like the Hiatt’s are either changing what they are doing or leaving the industry.
The big bust
Last year, nationwide, the number of acres was down significantly from the year before,” said Sheldon Coleman, the CEO of Sunny land Kansas in McPherson. “The numbers are all over the map, and I’m going to use an average, roughly 110,000 acres were licensed in 2019 and went down to about 45,000 acres in 2020 (nationwide).”Coleman said that number has decreased to around 20,000 to 30,000 nationwide planted acres today.“ So (nationally), you’re down 80% in two years,” Coleman said. “You have a huge oversupply that in 2019 and the price crashes. Farmers can’t figure out how to sell their product.” Coleman said there are estimates that 50% of the crop in 2019 was not harvested and died in the field. Unless farmers had an outlet for their crops, there was not much of a market.
“People could make $25,000 an acre growing hemp and selling the biomass — just selling the plant material in 2017 and 2018,” he said. In Kansas, the number of growers shrunk from around 275 in 2020 to slightly more than 80 in 2021.
The Hiatt’s, who runs High Point Family Farms just outside of Nickerson, realized early on that not only was industrial hemp hard to grow but finding an outlet for their product was difficult as well. Last year, one of their fields had too much THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) – the hallucinogenic in it, so that field was destroyed. Currently, in Kansas, if the sampling tests too high for THC, above .3%, the entire crop must be eliminated. THC is the primary compound in cannabis that is responsible for creating a high. Each field is regulated and government tested. Industrial hemp, used for CBD – non-intoxicating cannabinoids – rope, fabric, and grain, is a variety of the same species of plant as cannabis; but, this crop yields low levels of THC.
This year, a pack of armyworms decided to march across both the Hiatt’s field and one of their greenhouses, crippling some of their well-cared-for plants.
After a year, what the Hiatt’s realized, was there were not too many buyers of their raw product, so they decided to change their paradigm and become retailers as well, keeping the supply chain close to home. We planted a lot fewer plants this year,” said Sara Hiatt. “This year, we have about 2,100 plants. Last year, we had about 5,000.
The couple and their three grown children opened up a CBD store, High Point Pharms on Main Street in Hutchinson last spring. Along with their private label products, grown directly on their family farm, they sell their own honey, as well as other hemp-based goods. But, it is difficult for people selling industrial hemp products to obtain loans – so expansion will take time.
Someday, the family hopes to make the business more than a side job. But for now, they are working hard to make a go of their business, attending fairs and working the storefront. They are also trying different ways to keep their land and the plants environmentally friendly. By having friendly bugs like ladybugs, introducing sugars, and keeping living roots in the ground each day of the year, Bob Hiatt and his son Nate are changing the nutrition of the ground.
“I’m pretty disappointed in it (this year’s crop),” Bob Hiatt said. “But we’re still going to produce some pretty decent oil though.”
Similarly, the owners of Sunny land Kansas, a father and son team who started farming hemp in Oregon, understand the need for being a part of the supply chain. Along with growing their own industrial hemp, this company sells seeds, consults, dries, and packages the product.
California just changed its law for selling industrial hemp products
With the stroke of a pen, this past Wednesday, California changed the retail paradigm for selling industrial hemp products. California Gov. Gavin Newsom opened up retail markets for non-intoxicating cannabinoids. In the Golden State, CBD can now be sold as a dietary supplement and can be included in cosmetics, drinks, and pet foods. But in so doing, California will require strict testing and labeling guidelines. The state also, once they figure out a tax method, has set in play the use of commercial hemp products to be used for smoking. This opens up the market for hemp growers in Kansas and helps guide the way for Kansas legislators to look into new retail markets.
However, the FDA: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, states CBD products cannot be sold as dietary supplements under the FD&C Act and cannot be added to food for humans or animals.
In 2018, the FDA allowed “three hemp seed-derived food ingredients for use in human food: hulled hemp seed, hemp seed protein powder, and hemp seed oil,” per the FDA rulings on industrial hemp.
The next wave for hemp sales
According to Sheldon Coleman, 25 to 30,000 acres of hemp can supply most of the consumer demand for products in the U.S. This leads the way for companies to go outside U.S. borders. “The bigger companies are starting to see exports exceed domestic sales,” said Christian Coleman, president of Sunny land. Also, according to him, the minor cannabinoids, like CBG are coming on very strong. Some of these consumer packaged products are about to explode, he said. In addition, there is the grain side, which Christian Coleman said is being looked at for hemp seed protein and animal feed.
“We just now think we’re seeing where it’s starting to get re-stabilized (supply and demand),” Sheldon Coleman said. “There’s still product being dumped from 2019 and 2020. But we’re starting to see some scarcity develop again, and the people that have stuck with it, are starting to see a little more opportunity.”
Kansas is home to a new fiber plant and one of the area’s largest hemp dryers
Kansas is also the home to a new fiber plant, South Bend Industrial Hemp Processing in Great Bend. This plant is one of the few in the country that can process hemp fiber directly from the field. The Sunflower State is also the home to one of the area’s largest hemp dryers, at Sunny land’s processing plant in McPherson. In addition to good farming practices, Kansas weather presents a challenge. Market volatility for industrial hemp remains a significant factor in profitability.
“Kansas needs to do two things, one is step up with dietary supplements and (two) embrace smokeable (non-hallucinogenic hemp products),” Sheldon Coleman said. Neither the Hiatt’s nor the Colemans are giving up on their dream — helping others obtain good quality, Kansas-grown CBD.
“The most exciting thing to me is to find out our product works for our customers,” Sara Hiatt said. “We hear it all the time.”

Singer Rihanna has chimed in on the idea of Van Lathan's game for black people. The game is described as a "ridiculously fun game".
Rihanna has commented on a game made by ex-TMZ reporter Van Lathan. He describes the game as a "ridiculously fun game" made for black people.
Rihanna-inspired play "racist against white people", claims angry audience member
Van uploaded an image to his Instagram feed of a recent tweet he wrote, detailing a game he plays at the club.
The premise of the game is about black individuals watching their non-black people in a club or concert, to see whether they're singing along to a song. The catch is to see whether the non-black people say the N-word or not.
On Monday (Dec 2nd) Lathan's Instagram post read "RT if you’re Black, and watch lips to see which non Blacks sing the N word when ur in a club or concert. Like if this a ridiculously fun game," he wrote.
Van Nathan posts a screenshot of his tweet explaining his game. Picture: Instagram
The caption to the game read "This is my life. I make bets with myself on who’ll do it. When someone skips the word, I give myself 40 acres. When they say it, I give myself a mule. Right now I have 80 acres and 1 mule. Let’s see how things go."
Rihanna says she "feels attacked" underneath Van Lathan's post. Picture: Instagram
Rihanna, who seemingly agreed that she's played the game before, left a comment on Van's post.
She wrote "I feel attacked 😩🙈🤷🏿♀️" in the comment section. The "Work" singer did not disclose how many mules or acres of land she's got from playing the game. | https://www.capitalxtra.com/artists/rihanna/news/says-she-feels-attacked-fun-game-for-black-people/ | 1,656,489,166 | null |

Police in northern Cameroon said they have freed 70 children from an illegal disciplinary camp, where the children say they were left by their parents to be chained and beaten. According to authorities, camp workers were detained and the injured and traumatized children are being treated.
Cameroon police said they entered an illegal disciplinary camp, known locally as a traditional rehabilitation center for wayward children, in the city of Ngaoundere.
Police said they freed 70 boys and girls 6 to 14 years old Tuesday, with many limping as a result of torture and others with fresh wounds.
Among the freed children is 14-year-old Alim Iddrisou, who said when he refused to attend a Quranic school in March 2020, his parents accused him of having a lack of respect for community rules and elders and took him to the center.
He said God saved his life and gave him courage to bear the gruesome torture inflicted on him by workers of the center. He said he spent the first of his two years in the camp with his feet chained, and each child was served a poorly cooked meal each day and anyone who complained was beaten by the camp's guards.
Speaking on local media, Iddrisou said each time the few toilets in the camp were occupied, workers forced children to defecate in plastic bags or urinate in bottles. He said older boys were escorted to empty the feces and urine in a nearby stream at night.
The freed children said four of their peers died of torture and starvation within the past three months and they do not know where their bodies were buried. Police acknowledge that a few children died. The government said it is still trying to identify their parents.
Kildadi Taguieke Boukar is the governor of Cameroon's Adamawa region, where Ngaoundere is located, said he ordered children who looked tired and frail to be rushed to local hospitals. Boukar also said he has asked police to locate parents of the freed children so they can answer to charges that will include child abuse and negligence.
Boukar ordered local government officials, clerics, elite, community leaders and village chiefs to help put a stop to this form of primitiveness and torture by reporting promoters of such disciplinary camps to the police. He said parents who send their children to such camps will be punished, as Cameroon is a state of laws and its citizens must respect human rights or face the consequences.
Owners of the camp and its workers have been arrested by police. The camp owners are to be charged with torture, homicide, illegal detention and child abuse.
Rights groups like the Yaounde-headquartered Center for Religious Studies and some Muslim groups like the Council of Imams and Muslim Dignitaries of Cameroon, have previously criticized what they call the proliferation of Islamic disciplinary camps in Cameroon.
The government says even though such camps were prohibited in 2017, many are hidden within communities and operate illegally. The government says it will locate and close such centers and educate parents about the abuses committed there. | https://www.voanews.com/a/cameroon-police-rescue-70-children-from-illegal-detention-camp-/6588639.html | 1,657,099,091 | null |

TraumA
This third edition of the Bruges Triennial is called “TraumA”. The artists and architects were invited to question the hidden dimensions of society, whether by revealing unknown places or the loneliness, fear and poverty that are also hidden behind the postcard image that we often have of the city.
A triennial to rediscover Bruges
While some of the artworks can be seen in popular places in the city, such as the Burg Square or museums, others are scattered in spaces that are usually less frequented by visitors. By going in search of the artworks, the triennial allows us to get off the beaten track and discover another side of the city, less touristy but just as charming.
Having already visited Bruges several times, I was surprised to discover new areas that I had not suspected. The triennial has a double interest: it promotes contemporary art but also allows to put forward the whole territory of Bruges.

Some artworks to see during the triennial
Thirteen artworks are to be seen during this triennial, the complete list is available on the official website. To give you an overview, here are my 5 favorites of this edition.
The scaffolding tree of Hector Zamora
Head east of Bruges to discover this impressive work by Hector Zamora. It is a giant scaffolding installed around a large tree, a black pine from Austria.
This work was inspired by the “ceibo”, a sacred tree of the Amazonian forest surrounded by climbing plants that gradually absorb its energy.
This scaffolding represents by imitation the envelopment of the tree by a human intervention but here the usually aggressive installation becomes poetic and allows to harmoniously connect the human being and the nature.
It is possible to enter this installation and to climb to the top, enjoying a breathtaking view of Bruges and the mills located next to it.

Tuin van het Gezellehuis
The black tunnel of Gregor Schneider
It is in the church of the Grootseminarie (Great Seminary) that Grego Schneider has set up his installation which pushes the visitor out of his comfort zone.
In a corridor plunged into total darkness and isolated from the rest of the church, the artist invites us to zigzag and find our way. Deprived of sight, our other senses are fully put to work to find the exit and avoid hitting another visitor.

The Dance of Death by Hans Op de Beeck
Here is a very strange carousel. Far from the colorful and lively merry-go-rounds that we are used to seeing in cities, Hans Op de Beeck has imagined a frozen and silent carousel. Inside, the living have been replaced by skeletons in a scene halfway between dream and nightmare.
Strange and melancholic, this installation echoes the danse macabre, an artistic motif very popular in the Middle Ages in Northern Europe where the dead addressed the living often in a sarcastic tone.
It is a striking artwork that can charm as well as shock. Personally I found it particularly original and captivating.
Hans Op de Beeck, Danse macabre
Sint-Maartensplein / Sint-Walburgakerk
The reinvented statue by Joanna Malinowska & C.T. Jasper
In the Begihnhof is installed a statue that seems to come from another time. It is a replica of a Polish sculpture that was installed in Gdynia, Poland. This beautiful triumphant woman, erected to personify an oppressive regime, was moved at the end of the Russian occupation.
Joanna Malinoswka was nevertheless very marked by this statue of her youth, which carries memories. With C.T. Jasper, she imagined a fictional biography of her.

Begijnhof
Amanda Browder’s socially connected artwork
Here is a work that was developed with the full involvement of the community. Amanda Browder first collected fabrics from the population. These were then organized and woven by volunteers who, through contact with the artist, were able to learn different artistic techniques. The work produced then became a factor of social link for the population.
Installed in a third stage in the public space, it is transformed into a work of art accessible by its bright colors. A “happy accident” that appears above the canal and in the middle of the houses.

We’re on the home stretch and the finish line is in sight, but we’ve got to make sure week six – the final week – of Jack McLean’s strength and wellbeing program is our best and that we close things out on a high.
Jack, our Head of Performance, prepared a pair of running programs to assist our Victorian community through lockdown, with the purpose of both to get people active and in the best shape physically and mentally to handle our state’s restrictions.
The program offers the structure and guidance of an elite program whilst still being accessible to trainers of all abilities, with program two more closely resembling the plans Jack provides our players to increase aerobic capacity and performance.
Both programs can be completed in line with current restrictions, though we ask that those completing – or anyone who is considering undertaking – this training do so responsibly.
If you haven’t gotten started yet, each week’s plan is available on our website with a week one link.
“Week six carries a strong focus on the physical and mental,” Jack said.
“Throughout the programs, our training has built to this, and what we’ve achieved so far has laid a strong foundation to attack this final block.
“Best results will come with the best preparation – so make sure you’re ready for the day, give yourself the best effort you can, and recover well between your workouts.
“Nick Green, our Club Dietician, has been providing some terrific insight into what foods fuel you best when in training, and you can find those tips via our social channels.
“That’ll be a great resource for you this week and moving forward.
“Nick’s hints also dovetail nicely with this week’s health and wellbeing portion of the program: no sugar.
“That has as much to do with a strong mindset and discipline as it does preparing yourself to train.”

Along the line of a previous “Perception is Reality” article, I have a quick li’l example of this at work…
I was running the Customer Service organization for Aurora Loan Services in Nebraska (Lehman Brothers mortgage-servicing subsidiary) and similar to most call centers, we handled both English & Spanish calls in-house.
For any language other than those two, we would use the services of an outside vendor (in this case, AT&T Language Line) with whom we would establish a 3-way call with the interpreter serving as the middle man.
These translator calls are quite expensive to the company.
Besides paying a hefty fee to the vendor…it was like taking a taxi cab (flat fee upfront for accepting the call or getting in the cab, then another $2/min or a mile)…these calls lasted at least twice as long as normal calls.
Plus, I still had one of my people on the call the entire time.
(Note: I remember when I was building the Asian Language CitiPhone Unit in Fort Lee, NJ in the mid-90s. We had a growing presence of customers with an Asian language as their only, or preferred, means of communications.
It was not practical for San Antonio to be able to supply enough bilingual reps & supervisors to support this as an on-going concern.
So I built it in NJ, close to our Fort Lee branch. We initially staffed both Mandarin & Cantonese, then later added Japanese.
When I was doing some competitive research about how various banks handled requests for customers to speak directly to their branches, I clearly recalled calling Wells Fargo, who, at that time, was primarily California-based, I was shocked at how many different languages they supported in-house…Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese & several others, including Urdu!
BTW, it’s the official language of Pakistan.)
Anyway, we were able to support Spanish-language calls even in Scottsbluff, Nebraska (nowhere near any type of large or even, medium-sized city). Combined population for Scottsbluff & neighboring Gering was ~22,000.
There were times when our rather-thin bilingual staff was facing enormous pressure (due to scheduled/unscheduled absences, heavy volume or unusual call arrival rates) & the Spanish queue would grow (increasing the anticipated wait time for a Spanish-speaking rep).
And even though we had an upfront prompt for our Spanish-speaking callers (“Oprima dos por el Español”), many of the calls handled by the “Spanish gate” were internally-transferred from our English-speaking reps.
So, during those times when the “Spanish gate” was getting killed, we would instruct our reps to NOT transfer Spanish calls internally, but, rather, utilize AT&T Language Line as a 3rd party translator.
(Note: I would often catch hell from senior management if, God forbid, we exceeded the monthly budgeted amount for these AT&T Language Line calls, especially if they noticed “excessive” Spanish usage.
One month, after I got really tired of all this micro-managing 🐃💩…I mean, c’mon, we’re delivering superior business results & now you’re merely trying to poke holes into something, somewhere, solely for the sake of finding a negative thingie so you can flex your stupid-ass “boss muscles”…I finally had it and said, “You’re breaking chops over a coupla hundred dollars here. Seriously now…
…I just delivered this corporation over $300,000 in annualized revenues…bottom line…by implementing a brand-new program to reduce “goodwill fee reversals” by $25,000 a month!”
Of course, Terry Gentry, Sr VP, tried to burn a hole through my forehead with his Superman vision, but I employed my Star Trek deflector shields & he would up setting his own desk on 🔥!!!
C’mon, now, raise your hand now if you cracked a li’l smile there!!! 🤪
🙋🏻♂️ 🙋🏽♀️ 🙋🏽 🙋🏼♂️ 🙋🏼♀️ 🙋🏿 🙋🏽♂️)
Anyway…
This (using AT&T Language Line for Spanish calls) was a very expensive option to use & we only did it in those extreme cases when the anticipated wait time for one of own Spanish-speaking reps was truly unacceptable.
In reality, a super-long Spanish queue, even for a couple of hours, wouldn’t greatly impact our overall performance numbers. We did it solely to soften the blow on our Spanish-language callers.
Didn’t happen very often, but when it did, we’d turn off the “internal transfer spout” (that would have English-speaking reps manually transfer Spanish-speaking customers to Spanish-speaking reps). It happened, maybe, once or twice a quarter & lasted usually for less than an hour.
We utilized our electronics signage boards (a GREAT enhancement for call centers) to communicate this temporary procedural change to our people.
“UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, PLS USE AT&T FOR SPANISH CALLS. DO NOT TRANSFER THEM INTERNALLY.”
Seemed clear enough, no?
One day, when we had to invoke this emergency process, I was walking around the floor. I knew very well where all our bilingual reps sat (we didn’t have enough to form a fully-dedicated team) so they were scattered throughout the floor.
Sometimes, all it would take is a couple of bilingual reps “being distracted” (busy doing research or making callbacks instead of handling incoming calls) to suddenly create a queue in the Spanish gate. A friendly reminder from me (usually, my hovering over the rep would do the trick…I very seldom used our electronic cattle prod, ”The Convincer”) & magically, the queue would soon disappear.
(Yes, I fully realized that ALL reps need to handle some research & do their callbacks at times. I would just encourage them to first take a peek at the message board – – where we would post the status of our various gates – – then make an informed decision as to whether now was the right time to do something other than handle incoming calls.
For example, we would transfer “refinance requests” to our Sales Unit in St. Louis. The program was unbelievably successful for the company…and for our reps as well as they earned $50 for every referral that turned into an actual refinanced loan.
But sometimes, the queue into the Sales Unit was “too large” & I didn’t want my reps & the customers waiting on hold for too long before finally reaching a Sales rep.
I asked my people to take a look at the message board where we always posted the different queues in the bottom left corner of the screen.
If there were more than 3 calls holding for St. Louis Sales, then they were instructed to take a callback request for the customer.
We’d fax those forms to St. Louis & the rep would still earn $50 if the refinance application was submitted & approved.)
OK, back to the Spanish calls…
In walking around, I came upon one of our bilingual reps speaking with an AT&T translator.
Now, while there are some instances when a bilingual rep actually needs to engage AT&T Language Line for a non-Spanish language call (German, Portuguese, etc.), it would only occur when a bilingual rep is handling a call from the “main gate” & the customer doesn’t speak/prefer English nor Spanish.
But when the Spanish gate is “blowing up”, we change the bilingual reps’ “call skilling” so that they‘re unable to handle main gate/English calls. They should only receive & handle Spanish calls.
So how could a bilingual rep (let’s call her “Maria”, in this case) be using AT&T during these “emergency times”??? (Note: This is NOT Maria Vicharra Villagrana!!!)
I went over to a supervisor phone to “tap into” (silently monitor) the call.
Yes, Maria (a Spanish-speaking rep) was using AT&T FOR A SPANISH LANGUAGE CALL!!!
She spoke Spanish. She handled Spanish calls all day (along with English calls when there was no queue in the Spanish gate).
My brain started to fry.
Instantly. I could hear those few cells burning away like bacon cooking!
As such, I gently & calmly asked Maria’s Team Leader to “listen in” & find out what she was doing & then, pls address the situation appropriately with Maria.
Later, Tracy Kaufman came into my office with a report.
By this time, the bacon had been removed from the heat & was already draining nicely on those paper towels.
“She said that you instructed the reps to use AT&T for Spanish calls up on the message boards.”
*pause*
“Yes, I know, Tracy, but I added to not transfer any calls internally.”
“I know, but apparently, she took that first line literally!”
$?#&%!
💣 💥 🧨 ☄️ 🚨
Tracy had already straightened out the miscommunication with Maria. I’ll assume full responsibility for the “misinterpretation” of a pretty-clear message.
“DON’T ASSUME THAT…!”
(Pls Note: When you guys are reading the various stories in this blog, pls start with the 1st word in the upper-left corner. After you finish reading that word (usually identifiable by a space, comma, quotation marks or period), pls proceed to your right for the next word. Continue in that fashion.
Upon reaching the end of the line at the right, shift your eyes to the line immediately below it & start reading again, from the left to the right.
If there are several blank spaces, pls continue to drop down until you come upon another line with words.
If you happen to read something along the lines of “As always, thank you so very much for listening!” and there are no more words nor lines underneath, you have reached the end of that particular piece.
Amen. 🎚)
A couple of months later, we discovered that Maria was recording a new VoiceMail greeting.
Every morning.
But unlike some people’s greeting that says, “Hi, this is Suzy & today is Monday, June 17th. I’m in the office today, but unable to…”, she recorded the same exact VM greeting every morning.
In fact, I previously provided every rep with the standard VM greeting to use that I wrote for them (in accordance with guidelines received from Legal & Compliance).
When asked why, she said, “I don’t know. I thought that’s what I was supposed to do!”
“But if it’s the same exact…”
Never mind.
A few weeks later, I traded Maria to the mailroom for one of their bright, energetic people who I thought would make a very good rep. Maria was able to keep her salary & her grade level. This literally saved her job as she wouldn’t be able to meet the requirements for a Customer Service rep (as borne out when we “straight-skilled” her for English calls only & her Team Leader was able to listen to a number of her calls…which were pretty poor, at very best).
I always try my best…and force my managers to do the same…when we have a person who is struggling.
Normally, we’ll provide a lot of one-on-one training & call reviews, assign a senior rep to buddy up, have the rep note every call with which she believes she had a problem during the day & offer as much constructive feedback as possible.
If that doesn’t work, I’ll try to find the employee a less-demanding job somewhere else in my organization or the company (perhaps, as a clerk or support person).
I hate to release people & if/when I do, it’s usually for job abandonment (they got a job elsewhere or moved away, but never gave us notice). Remember, outside of work, these people still have lives & families & responsibilities so if I can still retain the employee while filling a legitimate need of the company, I will. | https://michaellorusso.com/leadership-tidbits/be-careful-of-those-assumptions/ | 1,656,617,312 | null |

This is the 3rd post on OKR, although it is almost three weeks late. Like the last two OKRs, I should give an update about the current situation of the world.
Epidemiologists warned the world about the 2nd wave of the pandemic, even when the 1st wave was still ongoing. As I have written in the 2nd OKR, lockdown was lifted in many countries during the summer. People traveled during the summer. Was it a logical response?
The logic seems to be: we will have a 2nd wave, so let’s relax the lockdown. I didn’t see this as logical from the day 1. The 1st wave subsided because of the lockdown. It is like a fire is subsided because you have put some water on it. Should you stop put water on the fire, when the fire is weaken? If that were the principle for firefighting, I think everything will be burned on to the ground.
What the epidemiologists said was indeed correct. The northern hemisphere is entering the cold fall season and the virus strikes back. We are indeed in the 2nd wave.
Two or three weeks ago, Germany was still bragging about how they are doing fine, while all the surround countries has fallen into the 2nd wave. This raging 2nd wave is more intense, although seems to be less lethal (probably because those infected are younger). ICUs around Western Europe are again flooded with patients.
In the last 2 weeks, Germany, likes its neighbors and as expected, is fallen too. The incidence is now doubling every week. My calculation is that it will reach 20000 cases per day the latest this Friday. Today (28-10-2020), Germany finally decided to have another lockdown starting next week.
Politically, people are focusing on the US election next week (Nov 3). Joe Biden vs Trump. No one knows what will happen when either one of them wins. Will Trump admit defeat when Biden wins? Will more American die due to Corona when Trump gets reelected?
Talking about myself, as always, I am doing fine. You know, one should always be humble in this raging pandemic. If you are having the same position as you did yesterday, it is already something to be grateful for. There was a little setback during the summer (which I can’t share in this blog), but one should always see the big picture. After all, the net gain is still positive.
Last time I said I have been summoned to go back to office for face-to-face meetings. These meetings were indeed happened during the summer. However, due to the resurgence of the epidemic, most, if not all, meetings are now online again.
My wife has undergone multiple waves of awakenings. It is better for you to read it on her blog. She is now learning amazing things such as physical chemistry and … emacs…
Before saying anything about OKR 3, there were actually some anniversaries in the Q3. I have been in German for 3 years. I am now 39 years old and I have been elected as the incoming secretary of ICA Computational Methods Division.
think out loud
I did exceptionally well. I have published 6 blog posts on various topics. Some posts has been featured in RWeekly and ICA Computational Methods Twitter accounts.
I particularly like the post on side projects and elisp development. The side projects post means a lot to me. It is sort of like a ritual of exorcism.
Another highlight is the German post. I had not written in German for so long.
I have some other drafts in the production. Some take months to finish. For example, I still have a draft about my experience of ICA 20 in May…
contribute to open source
I did quite good with this one. I have shipped readODS 1.7. Planed the road map to 2.0. Also, the package has been submitted to rOpenSci 1.
Oolong is improved. A paper is submitted to Journal of Open Source Software. Honestly, I am quite frustrated by the review process. Of course, this is the corona time and one can’t expect things to be perfectly on time. But it is slow (although it is expected to be fast). In the same period, I got 2 papers accepted in some methods journals. But up to this day, the oolong paper is still stucked.
I have also contributed some code to others’ projects, e.g. r2eng.
I think the most important try is to develop some emacs lisp. I think I truly understand the inner working of emacs, only after I have written some emacs lisp.
publish top papers
Last time, I said I’ve met my quota for this year. But papers keep coming.
I have published three papers in this quarter. All in great journals.
The highs paper published in Communication Research. I have written a very long blog post about this paper.
The second paper is the rectr paper. It published in Communication Methods & Measurements (the most important methods journal of the field). People always assume I am a method guy, but this is actually my first methods paper (at least in the social science space). The revision process was very harsh but very rewarding. A half of the summer was actually devoted to update the paper and the software within the minuscule 60-day R&R cycle. I worked days and nights back then. I remember one night I solved a problem at 22:00 and made a huge sound. That made my wife startling. There is no better paper than a published paper.
The third one is the off-the-shelf paper, which has been accepted by Computational Communication Science. The preprint is available on osf.
This paper is tricky to describe. It was sort of a direct product of my trip to Illinois (The link is a Chinese blog post). This one should actually be my “first” methods paper. The trip was in late January of 2018, which is just a few months after my arrival to Mannheim. During that trip, there was a hacking session that I can analyze the data that the Illinois team have. And I thought it would be interesting to use that data to tell a horror story about dictionary-based methods. And the rest is history.
The paper has been rejected both internally and externally, for multiple times and for multiple reasons. The angle of the paper has been changed multiple times, the number of sentiment indicators included in the paper exploded exponentially. But it ends up good. Once again, there is no better paper than a published paper.
I really think I have met my quota for this year. I have a couple of papers out there. I also have some half-baked papers in the pipeline. I will not be sad, if there will be no new paper published in the Q4.
improve myself
I can’t believe I have done 1000 days of Duolingo.
I think my German listening is again improving. I have watched a lot of news lately.
I did many “new” things in this quarter, e.g. developing elisp, soldering, teaching my wife emacs…
publish a book
I did nothing for this goal, which is a shame.
Conclusion
That’s for the OKR3. I can anticipate the Q4 is gonna much more crazy, probably not as productive. Until then, stay healthy. | https://chainsawriot.com/mannheim/2020/10/29/ok3.html | 1,656,912,167 | 1,652,261,627 |
Further details have reportedly emerged regarding a number of recent WWE releases, including the likes of Nia Jax, Eva Marie, Lucha House Party and NXT's Oney Lorcan.
As noted, 18 names across WWE's multitude of rosters were cut from the promotion on Thursday 4 November in the latest round of reported budget-saving releases.
According to Fightful Select, there were no long-term plans in place - at least creatively - for two of the names let go in Eva Marie and Nia Jax.
In the case of Jax, who has claimed she was released after asking for an extension to a mental health break from the promotion, Fightful have confirmed that the former Raw Women's Champion had asked for longer off. While WWE had tentative plans for her, there was nothing long-term creatively for Jax.
It was a similar situation for Marie, who was away filming a movie at the time of her release. It is noted that not long did WWE not have anything for her creatively, but there were no long-term plans for her when she re-signed with the promotion back in late 2020.
It is noted that both Oney Lorcan and Gran Metalik have previously asked for their WWE releases; Lorcan in 2019 and Metalik just a few months ago. | https://cultaholic.com/posts/wwe-reportedly-had-no-creative-plans-for-nia-jax-and-eva-marie | 1,656,397,290 | null |

Supervised models for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) currently yield to state-of-the-art results in the most popular benchmarks. Despite the recent introduction of Word Embeddings and Recurrent Neural Networks to design powerful context-related features, the interest in improving WSD models using Semantic Lexical Resources (SLRs) is mostly restricted to knowledge-based approaches. In this paper, we enhance “modern” supervised WSD models exploiting two popular SLRs: WordNet and WordNet Domains.
We propose an effective way to introduce semantic features into the classifiers, and we consider using the SLR structure to augment the training data. We study the effect of different types of semantic features, investigating their interaction with local contexts encoded by means of mixtures of Word Embeddings or Recurrent Neural Networks, and we extend the proposed model into a novel multi-layer architecture for WSD.
A detailed experimental comparison in the recent Unified Evaluation Framework (Raganato et al., 2017) shows that the proposed approach leads to supervised models that compare favourably with the state-of-the art. | https://www.quest-it.com/pubblicazioni/enhancing-modern-supervised-word-sense-disambiguation-models-by-semantic-lexical-resources/ | 1,656,903,172 | null |

Yes, the conclusion is, this world would be a much different, and happier, place if us humans would bite the bullet (so to speak) and face the truth without reserve. (I speak about locating truth and why people avoid it, in my book, The Box Top to Life’s Puzzle.)

… and not just any nuts, but pistachios and not your average pistachios but ones that come from Sicily. What were we doing with nuts? Making pistachio ice cream of course. The season and everything else going on around here hasn’t slowed down the pace at which we are churning out (literally) delicious goodies.
I used this recipe for the ice cream and ended up shelling the big bucks for the pistachio crema. It makes sense to go to Sicily just to stock up on the pistachio products alone.
We have also embraced seasonality and so Evan whipped up an amazing fish en papillote from a local catch. What could be better than ginger, lemon, scallion and herbs from our very own garden?
All of them steamed with fish in a pocket and topped with asparagus of course.
Delicious as that is… nothing beats time with Grammie and water-play!
There was of course more cooking that this … but most of the other culinary delectables were repeats from our past favorites and I won’t tantalize bore you with pictures. | http://www.growingupsavvy.com/2014/05/weekending-with-nuts/ | 1,656,354,449 | null |

Iya is a storm monster. In various traditions she is considered a demon. The tornado, the snowstorm, the hurricane and the thunderstorm are all considered manifestations of this deity. She travels with her storms in a tipi painted with magical symbols. She enjoys running through the crops in springtime. She likes dancing with the leaves during the fall. She lives with her mother, Unk, who calls her her Little Teacup.
IYA is high-spirited and fiery. Even though she can be a little wild and reckless, she has a good heart and it’s just a storm in a teacup. She invites you to not be afraid of the storm but to dance in the rain. She will be dancing right beside you. | https://www.jaski.nl/kunstwerk/iya/ | 1,657,199,982 | null |
Watson offers intramural activities specifically designed for 6th grade students. The intramural program is designed to provide more varied and special activities than are available through the interscholastic program. All students are highly encouraged to participate in some phase of the intramural program. Intramural time is the first 30-60 minutes immediately after school and there are no try outs, physical exams, or other paperwork necessary for participation. Students only need to have their AYPYN form on file with the school. | https://watson.wsd3.org/athletics/intramurals | 1,656,574,377 | null |
