About The Week
National Interfaith Week, this year occurs between Sunday 11th November 2018 and Sunday 18th November 2018.
Building good relationships and working partnerships between people of different faiths and beliefs is part of the year-round work of many people and organisations across the UK.
Having a special Week provides a focal point, helping to open inter faith activity up to a wider audience so that more and more people are made aware of the importance of this vital work and are able to participate in it.
The three aims of Interfaith Week are:
- to strengthen interfaith relations at all levels;
- increase awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in the UK, in particular celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society;
- and to increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs.
Anyone can take part in Inter Faith Week and hold Inter Faith Week events.
Inter Faith Week is for everyone. Some of the many kinds of organisations who have participated in previous Weeks include:
- faith communities and their places of worship
- community and voluntary groups
- inter faith bodies
- youth groups
- schools and SACREs
- institutions of further and higher education
- local authorities and other public agencies
- sports organisations
- businesses and workplaces
- TV and radio stations
- and many others
Some of the activities which have been successful in the past include:
- interfaith discussions on topics of interest;
- exchange visits between different places of worship;
- open days in places of worship;
- interfaith walks visiting different faith buildings en route;
- events focusing around food;
- faith school open days;
- seminars focusing on health issues; and many more.
We are keen to encourage even more organisations to organise an activity, including faith communities; places of worship; community and voluntary groups; interfaith bodies; youth groups; education institutions; hospital chaplaincies; museums; City Council and businesses. To ensure that activities are coordinated, avoid duplication, and that they are publicised, please contact us to discuss your suggestion, or if you are at the planning stage please send us the details.

CoinMarketCap [CMC] not considering the XRPs in the escrow is an escalating issue that’s being discussed widely. The cryptocurrency community is torn between people who believe that CMC is correct in not including the escrowed XRP, and people who believe otherwise.
XRP overtaking Ethereum to become the second largest cryptocurrency was talked about in the cryptocurrency community for a long time as it was not just a momentary switch in the ranking.
Ripple’s Chief Marketing strategist, Cory Johnson tweeted to an article of a popular news portal insinuating that the market cap was calculated incorrectly.
The conflict of ideas arises due to the fact that CMC is considering only the circulating supply and price for calculating the market cap and not the ones held in escrow. A part of the community is considering CMC to be right because, for the calculation of market cap, CMC uses the price and circulating supply and does not consider the tokens/asset held in escrows.
The other half of the community argue that with that definition the Bitcoin’s market cap has to be reduced as well because Craig Wright holds 1.1 million BTC in an escrow called “Tulip-Trust” which will be released in 2020.
Yahoo finance website is in agreement with the latter half of the community and considers the escrowed XRPs as well.
As per CMC the market cap of XRP at the time of writing was $14.57 billion and that reported by the Yahoo Finance the market cap is $36.17 billion while the price of XRP remaining at $0.3616.
Prominent members in the XRP community like Tiffany Hayden and Dr. T are against CMC’s version of market cap for XRP.
A Twitter user LaHoyaJolla commented:
“1/2 You keep saying this, but it your methodology is wrong and should be altered to:
A) better represent all projects
B) adhere to already standardized methods of determining market capitalization rather than arbitrarily creating a methodology that falls outside of the norm
2/2 BTC’s supply currently includes all unrecoverable BTC and large holders’ balances.
What does it feel like constantly losing these ideological battles? I hope it’s more exhausting than it is constantly fighting them.”
Furthermore, some community members even pointed out how CMC excluded the data from the Korean exchanges for market cap calculations on January 8, 2018 without any prior intimation.
CMC, at one point partially agreed with the community and asked a Ripple official to submit a request to update the market cap.
David Schwartz, CTO of Ripple commented on the matter:
“I don’t really have strong feelings either way. It is hard to figure out how to be fair in all these different cases. But it is weird that XRP winds up getting penalized in many ways for its transparency with people assuming the best imaginable about what they do not know.”
A user, David Corner tweeted:
Cory johnson would disagree with you. In fact Maybe the SEC should look at CoinMarketCap for manipulation of the market as they clearly have a bias towards, anyway no longer using coinmarket cap as it does not give you the true facts”

A team of researchers from Bilkent University and Sabanci University SUNUM Nanotechnology Research Center has developed a way to control buckling in a nanoscale beam using electrostatic effects. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the group describes the device they built and its possible uses.
In engineering terms, buckling is a deformation that occurs when pressure is applied to an object on two or more sides. The deformation typically occurs somewhere between the endpoints. In engineering applications, buckling usually means something has failed. But prior research has shown that buckling could be used to create devices such as nanoelectromechanical systems. In such systems, buckling could be used as a means of measuring acceleration or when building electromechanical relays. To build such devices, however, buckling must be both controllable and repeatable. In this new effort, the researchers have created a device that is capable of both.
The device the team built consisted of a silicon beam 40 micrometers long and 150 nanometers wide, which served as the buckling material. The beam was held in place by a ceiling and a floor. Pressure was applied to the ceiling by a comb drive, a type of actuator, which in turn applied downward pressure on the beam. Two comb-shaped structures were affixed to the ceiling—when voltage was applied, they were pulled closer together, resulting in increased pressure on the ceiling. The researchers also added electronic gates situated close to the beam on either side. As voltage was applied to the actuator above, electrostatic forces exerted pressure left or right. The result was a device that could force the tiny beam to buckle in a controlled fashion either right or left at up to 12 percent of the beam length.
The researchers suggest their device could be used as part of a very small mechanical pump—perhaps in medical applications. They plan to continue their work with the device by using it to test Landauer’s principle—and down the line, they plan to test its possible use as a means for storing information in two-state memory devices.
Researchers from the University of Houston have reported significant advances in stretchable electronics, moving the field closer to commercialization.Lire la suite

The purpose of this topic is to cover the best strategies for Faction Delve teams. It is not to complain about how difficult Faction Delves are. There are other topics for that, so I will flag as off-topic any complaints.
Faction Team Basics: First off, you want to make sure Puddling is your equipped pet. One look at that little guy’s smile should give you enough encouagement to overcome any challenge. Well, that, and a sizeable treasure hoard. But how large should your hoard be?
For faction delves done without potions, my hoards for Primal Rift, Silver Necropolis, Amanithrax, and ASE were 167, 155, 134 and 353, respectively. Some players did them cheaper, some did not. It’s all about finding the right fit for your strategy.
Edit: Sorry to edit this post after some people have liked it. Hopefully I don’t do anything to cause them to regret it. I suppose they could just unlike it tho. I plan to include one link to the other thread, the first time I learned of it was thru this Link: Delves: Strategies, tactics and tips
Instead of reposting links again, which I sometimes mess up and stuff, I will post the individual player’s name and their post number, which out of 1440 plus will take sometime to locate. If I fail to notice a post with applicable faction team strategy, I apologize.
All Seeing Eye
Troops: Ocularen Leech, Ocularen, Xerodar, Watch Mother
Strategy: @theidleone post 749 uses a different strategy than I did. At first I resented someone questioning my judgement in this thread:
Pure Faction for All-Seeing Eye
But after reading his reasoning, I learned that his way better protected the Watch Mother from danger. The fact that he did it with 154 fewer Hoard levels is evidence of that. Now, I often mimic his recommended strategies from the start.
Avoid: I try to avoid rooms such as Fell Nest and Worm Tunnels on all factions, so those will go without saying. (Rock Worms are resistant to Hunter’s Mark, I need to remember that). Lord Ironbeard does bonus Skull Dmg to Monsters, so I’d avoid The Iron Gate room as well.
Team: Gobtruffle x4 (I had the Tank, but he died 1st room anyway)
Hoard: 100 Allegedly. I didn’t have Anu medal. 134 worked for me.
Strategy: Equip medal of Anu if you have one, get 2 Troops full of mana, and loop enemy to death.
Rooms to avoid: If you see the Legendary Submerge Room in your path, or the Leviathan Room, it’d be best to run a non-faction team.
Banner: ASE (for Treant)
Troops: Red Thorn, Golem, Dark Dryad, Alderfather
Hoard: 100, but I used 167 to help Dark Dryad’s survivability.
Strategy: The Delve Layout has changed since I completed it, but the basic success factor remains: summon a Treant and buff the heck out of it. @Spectrum completed it recently (post 1366). He used Red Thorn, Dark Dryad and Alderfather x2.
Avoid: The Usual Suspects.
Troops: Bone Golem, Draugr, Vanya x2
Hoard: Whatever is needed to survive two casts from Vanya. For me, that was 155. Remember that she can get +12 dmg from 3 blessed allies.
More is on the way…taking longer than I thought…that other Thread is so cluttered tho. Please be patient. And remember to equip yer Puddling. | <urn:uuid:09118d86-2b71-43bc-8cee-1e57705b46b0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/delve-faction-team-strategies/60859 | 2020-09-26T12:21:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.94417 | 801 |
Future historians of our city will no doubt ponder how it is that we let things get so far out of hand. Should these scribes ever come to be, it will be because somehow we survived, turning things around in the third and fourth decades of the present century. One entry point for these future investigators of the past is the life story of Chuck Turner of Roxbury. His was a full life—one that personified the social struggles of the late 20th century while laying the groundwork for that better possible world that competes with other projects for the future. In the long relay race of oppressed communities and the global working class, Chuck Turner picked up the baton in the 1960s as a young activist in the Northern Student Movement (a wing of the civil rights movement). By Christmas Day 2019 when he walked on, that beginning had been eclipsed by a series of powerful base-building projects—many that at once challenged the ruling class while creatively empowering the excluded and the exploited.
No wonder then that when the city of Boston last hosted a major national party convention in 2004 and the people of Boston organized a social forum, its convener, Jason Pramas, now a principal at DigBoston, called upon Chuck Turner and not then-mayor Thomas Menino to open the proceedings. Introduced as “the people’s mayor,” Turner, who was an early sponsor of the Boston Social Forum effort, welcomed his audience of 5,000 people by noting our city’s troubled identity as a “Cradle of Liberty.”
A deeply thoughtful activist, he had an eye to history and its many stories. While very conscious of his pan-African roots and of global struggles for sovereignty and freedom, Chuck Turner was also aware that these would only remain abstract commitments unless matched by on-the-ground organizing and service.
Commentators on his passing have recognized his “laser focus” on jobs—his campaigns to open the building trades to all Boston residents, including people of color and women. This work was about building a multiracial, working-class movement just as much as it was about justice for Boston’s super-exploited African American communities. Even with this sustained, decades-long project, Chuck Turner recognized that power has to be contested on many planes, some far beyond his boisterous picket lines outside construction sites.
One less well-known terrain was built out of his attention to intimate partner violence—long before our present, unjustly deferred attention to gendered violence. People, in Turner’s eyes, are not disposable and will continue to affect community life long after the injustices perpetrated upon them or those that they may have carried out. For Turner, the solutions offered by the state—incarceration and punishment—helped neither survivor nor transgressor. Instead, he counseled abusers and sought restorative justice. One of the organizations that he helped build, EMERGE: A Men’s Counseling Service on Domestic Violence, continues to operate to this day.
Other legacies abound. As residents of Boston’s South End enjoy the Southwest Corridor Park along the Orange Line, they should thank Chuck Turner. He was a critical and leading member of the citywide coalition in the 1960s to early 1970s that thwarted the construction of a highway, one that would have bisected our city. In its place, Turner and his comrades built a park and a subway line. Similarly, Turner was very focused on education, particularly at the K-12 levels. In the 1980s, following Boston’s busing struggles, Turner was part of the effort to push for Roxbury’s independence from the city of Boston. Although that drive did not find success on its own terms, it helped create the political space for the land trust movement, one that has since become a model for working-class communities to challenge the logic of global capital.
All of these activities came well before Turner’s 1999 decision to run for office and serve our city as one of its councilors. Public office for him was an extension of his grassroots organizing work. His office became a platform for addressing the concerns of his constituents as well as those of the broader community. Frequently criticized for taking stands on matters like the US invasion of Iraq or the plight of the Palestinian people, paradoxically he was also attacked for his focus of local injustices facing communities of color and workers. For him, these were all of the same cloth.
He recognized that Boston is a global city benefiting both from its place in the international division of labor and its intimate involvement in our government’s war-making activities. This made his tenure as a public servant that of an activist in council chambers and a councilor on the streets. Unlike his peers, underscoring his respect for democracy and accountability, Turner operated an office in his district—in Nubian Square—one funded out of his wages. He also convened weekly meetings in John Eliot Square. Not only were these “District Seven Roundtable” meetings a place where constituents could meet their representative, but they were also where activists from elsewhere could engage directly with Turner and his constituents.
One of the outgrowths of these meetings was a city-wide and later national effort, “Fund the Dream,” in which Turner sought to build a multiracial coalition that would reallocate and reprioritize public spending away from the weapons industries and toward social needs. When Turner helped open the Boston Social Forum, he presented this initiative in light of Martin Luther King’s injunction to “build the Beloved Community.”
With this record, it should come as no surprise that Chuck Turner was pushed out of office, not by voters, but by an illegal city council decision—one that Chuck’s comrade and fellow councilor Charles Yancey valiantly opposed. The rationale for the council’s vote, however, was a serious one: Turner had been charged and convicted of receiving a bribe and of making false statements to the FBI about the alleged bribe. Closer inspection of the record will reveal that the charges and convictions were based on serious exaggerations by the prosecutors who only had grounds for reprimanding possible violations of campaign financing rules.
Insisting on his innocence—indeed, prosecutors essentially conceded that there was no quid pro quo—Turner fought the charges but lost. He remained true to his principles, taking the stand—against the advice of counsel—before a jury, not of his peers, but of largely suburban residents with little knowledge of either Turner’s record of service or his constituents. He stayed loyal to his lawyers even when it seemed that one of them may have alienated the judge and jury.
On hearing the jury’s decision, Turner appeared both stunned and curious—wondering how it was that they had reached their conclusion. Almost immediately thereafter, he was thrust before the press. Surrounded by throngs of supporters, this writer among them, he delivered a powerful impromptu speech to the mostly hostile media.
Summoning great dignity, intoning the struggles of Africans in America before him, he spoke about the prospects of a prison sentence, declaring that just as he had entered the city council as an organizer, he would do the same upon entering prison. Serving an unusually harsh custodial sentence in a federal prison some 600 miles from Boston, he regularly communicated with the public via letters detailing the realities of mass incarceration as well as its impacts on the imprisoned and their communities.
As he entered, Turner also left prison an organizer, returning to Boston to assist social movements, bringing both a stern gravitas and canny strategic counsel to bear on many causes, especially those that address our city’s grave and growing inequities.
In an era where parts of the Democratic Party are being revitalized by new energies and activism, it is easy to forget Chuck Turner’s wariness of that entity and his decision to build, at least at the statewide level, an alternative in the form of the Green-Rainbow Party, our state’s affiliate of the Green Party.
For Turner, political independence from the ruling class mattered. In that sense, he best exemplified Boston’s distinctive contribution to the Black Radical Tradition, one in which it made sense to work across and against lines of race while retaining the right to organize independently as an oppressed community. With this strategic starting place, Turner added his voice to a long line of Bostonian residents from Beacon Hill’s David Walker and Maria Stewart in the later 1820s and 1830s, to Dorchester’s William Monroe Trotter in the early 1900s, to Roxbury’s Ruth Batson in the 1960s, and to his peers of the 1970s and 1980s including the South End’s Mel King and the metro-wide Combahee River Collective.
Their strand of thinking and activism demands both cross-sectoral collaborations and the building of autonomous power: Turner’s defining contribution in his focus on jobs extended beyond rights in and to the workplaces of corporations and governments to the building of cooperative forms of labor and association—the building of working-class independence. Several generations of contemporary Boston organizers, many of whom are assiduously working for justice and social change, have been mentored by Chuck Turner and today are entrusted with the baton he has handed off.
A long-time Turner collaborator, former union organizer Dorotea Manuela, recalls her first meetings with Turner in the ’70s. She had come up from New York City to help clerical workers at Harvard unionize. Chuck welcomed her even though he was organizing with other sectors. Her first impression: “This is a man who lives his ideals.” Nearly a half-century later, working with Turner throughout on a range of issues from gun violence in Boston neighborhoods to US violence abroad, that is still her impression. It will surely be in those contested ideals that future historians will find a lens into our political moment, helping us understand how it got to be so bad, and perhaps how it would be changed for the better.
On Jan 10, 2020, Chuck Turner’s family and supporters are holding a memorial service at 10 am at the First Church in Roxbury (near Roxbury Crossing).

On 9th March, 2016 Kenyan Capital markets Authority published the newly gazetted guidelines that seek to stem poor corporate governance on bourse listed companies as means of protecting investors.
The authority also issued a related legislation targeted at disclosures to curb money laundering and prevent terrorism funding through the market.
Notes specific to the Code of Corporate Governance Practices for Issuers of Securities to the Public
1. Executive Pay Provisions – the Code provides ‘Companies shall remunerate Board members fairly and responsibly. The Board shall establish and approve formal and transparent remuneration policies and procedures that attract and retain Board members. The remuneration policy for Board members shall clearly stipulate the elements of such remuneration including directors’ fees, attendance allowances and bonuses. The Board shall ensure that the remuneration policies are aligned with its strategies. The Board remuneration policies and procedures shall be disclosed in the annual report’.
(a) Level of remuneration – the Code provides ‘the Board shall determine the remuneration of the directors. The Board of directors shall set up an independent remuneration committee or assign a mandate to a nomination committee or such other committee executing the functions of a nomination committee, consisting mainly of independent and non-executive directors, to recommend to the Board the remuneration of the executive and non-executive directors and the structure of their compensation package. The directors’ remuneration shall be sufficient to attract and retain directors to run the company effectively and shall retroactively be approved by shareholders in an Annual General Meeting. The executive directors’ remuneration shall be structured in line with remuneration for other directors in the same industry and shall be aligned with the business strategy and long-term objectives of the company. The remuneration of the executive directors shall include an element that is linked to corporate performance, including a share option scheme, so as to ensure the maximization of the shareholders’ value. The remuneration of non-executive directors shall be competitive and in line with remuneration for other non-executive directors in the same industry. The remuneration package to directors shall be appropriately disclosed’.
2. Age limit for board members – the Code recommends an age limit of 70 years. The Code states, ‘it is desirable for board members to retire at the age of seventy years. However, members at an annual general meeting may vote to retain a Board member who is over seventy years’.
3. Director term – the Code provides, ‘the tenure of an independent board member shall not exceed a cumulative term of nine years, an independent board member may continue to serve on the board subject to re-designation as a non-independent board member. The assessment criteria of independence of directors shall also include tenure. Long tenure can impair independence. As a result, the tenure of an independent Board member is capped at nine years. The nine years can either be a consecutive service of nine years or a service of nine years with intervals’.
4. Board Diversity – the Code provides, ‘the board shall have a policy to ensure the achievement of diversity in its composition. Each board shall consider whether its size, diversity and demographics make it effective. Diversity applies to academic qualifications, technical expertise, relevant industry knowledge, experience, nationality, age, race and gender. The appointment of members shall be gender sensitive and shall not be perceived to represent a single or narrow constituency interest. Where companies establish a diversity policy, the companies shall introduce appropriate measures to ensure that the policy is implemented’.
Specific Notes on the Guidelines on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing
1. Account opening requirements for residents and non-residents
Account opening requirements in establishing the true identity of resident customers who are natural persons include but not limited to: a birth certificate, a national identity card, a driver’s license, a passport or any other official means of identification that may be prescribed.
Those of a body corporate include: evidence of registration or incorporation, the Act establishing the body corporate, a corporate resolution authorizing a person to act on behalf of the body corporate together with a copy of the latest annual return submitted in respect of the body corporate in accordance with the law or any other item as may be prescribed.
For prospective non-resident customers who wish to open an account with a market intermediary, the Guidelines provides for adoption of effective identification procedures similar to those applied to Kenyan resident customers. This does not therefore imply that non-resident (foreign) customers will be required to present themselves physically when opening new accounts.
It is important to note that even Kenyan resident customers are not necessarily required to present themselves physically to open accounts where they opt to open accounts and transact as non-face-to-face clients. The provisions for non-face-to-face clients apply in these cases.

Donate to Bradbury’s latest film project – Winter in America
David Bradbury was recently in the US again with his camera rolling in eight cities across America for the making of the sequel to America & Me.
One year into Trump’s administration Bradbury reports back – he has never seen American society so explosive. “This northern summer and the remaining three years of Trump are going to be explosive, potentially similar to the US of the 1960s,’ the veteran filmmaker says.
Bradbury filmed and interviewed senior Black Lives Matter activists on Martin Luther King day, anti-war veterans of American’s failed wars-of-empire in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and the building of the Wall on the US/Mexican border where Latino migrants daily are frog marched across and deported in tears. He filmed anti-torture activists outside the White House clad in prison orange jumpsuits with black hoods over their heads demanding the release of 41 Muslim political prisoners still held and tortured at Guantanamo, most of them uncharged and untried. Bradbury’s camera rolled as anti-war activists stormed into the Congress office of Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer who supports the Saudi’s bombing and torture of students and farmers in Yemen.
Bradbury travelled across America with his ‘slingshot’ camera and his 14 year old daughter Nakeita. “Nicky was on a sharp learning curve about the world and reality politics being here with me in the US,” said David. “She did a mighty job keeping up with the ad hoc filming schedule of protests and marches that I covered. Like a trooper, with stills camera in hand, she got the money shot of poor black women in an overcrowded gaol holding up ‘thank you’ signs and love hearts from the prison window. On the national Women-Against-Trump march in Chicago, Nicky was in the thick of the action – a real chip off the old block.”
David Bradbury has collected stories and interviews with activists that inspire hope that arise out of a dark winter in America. Funds are now needed to bring these stories to light.
Frontline Films has been at the forefront of cutting-edge documentary making for 30 years. David Bradbury is a legendary documentary maker and always fearless to get to the heart of what is happening. Just prior to him leaving for the US, he previewed America and Me to packed out houses.
Frontline Film Foundation supports David’s relentless pursuit to BYPASS the FAKE NEWS machines,

NEWLAND, George (?1692-1749), of Gatton, Surr.
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Family and Education
b. ?1692, 4th s. of Sir George Newland, M.P., of Smithfield, London by Rebecca, da. of Edward Turgis, London merchant; bro. of William Newland. educ. St. John’s, Oxf. 26 July 1709, aged 17, demy, Magdalen 1711-20, fellow 1720-38, reader in moral philosophy 1727-31, D.C.L. 1729, vice-pres. 1733. unm. suc. bro. 1738.
Professor of geometry, Gresham Coll. London 1732-d.; gov. St. Bartholomew’s, Bridewell, and Bethlehem Hospitals 1738-d.
On Newland’s appointment to the professorship of geometry at Gresham College, Hearne, the Oxford antiquary, commented:
I think his being a citizen’s son gave him some title preferable to others, ceteris paribus. It is a genteel sinecure, and no wonder a learned man did not get it, the citizens of London being friends to little else but trade.1
Succeeding to his brother’s estates, he was returned for Gatton, voting consistently with the Opposition. Shortly before his death the 2nd Lord Egmont in his electoral survey described him as ‘a strong Jacobite’. After his death intestate, 22 Oct. 1749, his heirs procured a private Act in 1751, under which the manor of Gatton was sold to Sir James Colebrooke for £23,000.2 | <urn:uuid:45e1e720-161c-4854-8997-2e28ccbac6e8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1715-1754/member/newland-george-1692-1749 | 2020-09-26T11:39:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.942173 | 377 |

Jesus tells us to “GO and make disciples.” So why is it we almost exclusively ask people to COME? Why do we expect the lost to come to us? Why should they, especially when we don’t much of an effort to go to them?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for Come. Come is good. We have lots to offer. Lots of cool programs, events, and people ready to love and serve. But Go is better. Go is what Christ commanded. Go is what shows people we really care. Go is what helps people want to come.
So how can we Go as children’s leaders? How can we Go without looking like a creeper? Here are a few suggestions to get us started:
1. Go to a child’s game, recital, or play.
Let me start by saying you don’t have to go to every single activity that every kid in your ministry is involved in. That would be insane. Rather, focus on a few kids who you know and who know you. Ask their parents for what they’re involved in and if it’s OK to go to an event. They will be so jazzed you showed up (kids aren’t used to seeing us outside the church). Take a volunteer with you. Let this mindset spread to your whole team.
2. Visit them in the hospital.
Kids get scared when they’re sick. Especially when they’re sick in the hospital (that goes double for their parents). Visiting them in the hospital shows them and their family you’re not just there for the good times. You’ll be there for the tough stuff too. Bring them a favorite toy or snack. Bring handwritten notes from their friends and leaders. Pray for them and their family. Offer to schedule meals for the family when they get out of the hospital. Being there shows you and your ministry are willing to go the extra mile.
3. Volunteer at a school.
Pick the school that most of your kids go to. Offer to help with an after school-tutoring program. Throw a banquet for the teachers once or twice a year. Ask if you can be a teacher’s aid a few times a week. This one’s a little tougher to do, but worth the effort if you can make the time.
4. Help coach a team.
Kids can learn a lot about life by being a part of a team. Why not help with that journey by being their coach. If you have a parent in your ministry who coaches their child’s team offer to help. It can be as simple as bringing snacks at games and practices. A little can go a long way.
REMEMBER: Ministry doesn’t just happen in an office. It happens where people are. | <urn:uuid:a9c6bc89-b12e-48df-a4ef-dfab63a75935> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://jeffmcclung.com/2011/08/02/1-super-simple-tip-to-grow-your-kidmin/ | 2020-09-26T12:36:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.968369 | 623 |
Reviewing May’s PBA Intention
First, let me take a moment to review last month’s Personal Bank Account [revised] intention of eating four salads a week. Though I didn’t keep official count, I think I hit the mark a few weeks and probably fell two salads short during the final week of May. So I wasn’t perfect, but it’s a good thing that I’m back in the habit of eating salad. How did your PBA go?
June’s PBA Intention
This June I decided to kick the PBA challenge up a notch. In February, my friend Kaitlyn of Eat My Blog and I followed Kathy Freston’s Quantum Wellness Cleanse for three weeks. We were pretty true to her outline but made modifications as we went along [she suggests avoiding dairy, gluten, meat, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine for 21 days]. Once we were finished, I decided I would continue to follow many of her principals in moderation. But fast forward to June of 2009, and many of those good habits have drifted, and it’s time to make some adjustments.
So for the remainder of June, Kaitlyn and I have decided to review the cleanse with some of our own modifications. Here’s the plan:
Week 1 and 2
Eat plenty of:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Soy and beans
- Healthy oils
Avoid the following foods:
- Dairy (trace amounts in bread allowed)
- White flour
- Added sugar
- Caffeine (except tea)
- Alcohol (limited to twice a week)
Follow week 1 and 2 and add dairy (CHEESE!) into the mix.
So there you have it. Its not a diet, but a general refresher course on healthy eating. Anyone interested in following along?
Don’t be intimidated by the list, feel free to add your own modifications. I suggest reading Freston’s book if you are interested in learning about the health and spiritual benefits of the cleanse. I know I’ll be re-reading the book to keep myself inspired as I go through cheese withdrawal. | <urn:uuid:c83ebf0c-f388-4792-833f-e7e549ba5ef8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://jesslively.com/junes-pba-food-cleanse/ | 2020-09-26T11:41:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.963151 | 465 |
In his latest NBA Power Rankings for ESPN, Marc Stein had the Utah Jazz moving up two spots to No. 5.
After talking about Utah’s rough road trip, he wrote, “There is also growing concern in the SLC that neither Derrick Favors nor Rodney Hood will be able to shake the knee injuries that have plagued them; all season in Favors’ case and for the past two months in Hood’s. The Jazz are 9-6 in their past 15 games as they try to cling to the West’s No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.”
He then turned his attention to Gordon Hayward, saying, “this team, more than ever, seems to go as Gordon Hayward goes. Utah’s lone All-Star is averaging 23.8 PPG on .494 shooting (.451 on 3s) in those past nine wins. In those past six losses, Hayward is averaging 12.5 ppg and shooting just 32.5 percent from the field (.333 on 3s).”
The only teams ahead of the Jazz in the rankings were the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Lillard carries Blazers on second-half surge
Tim Cato of SB Nation looked at the recent play of Damian Lillard and how he leading the Portland Trail Blazers on a late playoff push.
After talking about Lillard’s huge game on Sunday, Cato wrote, “Since the All-Star break, where Lillard was ‘snubbed’ once again by coaches and missed the game, Lillard is averaging 31.2 points on 49 percent shooting from the field and 44 percent on shots behind the three-point arc.”

Jesus taught us to pray. He even gave us a model to guide us in Matthew 6:9-13. The church has historically believed that this prayer can and should be followed, thus it occurs in the earliest Christian teaching on how to pray and what to specifically pray about. It seems very apparent that very early in the church's historical development this prayer was recited both publicly and privately. But many evangelical Christians stumble over this idea sometimes. The reason is often found in the words of Jesus in the same prayer context when he said, "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words" (Matthew 6:7).
Is Jesus forbidding the repetition of his own words? Is he instructing us that all prayer must be spontaneous and extemporaneous, not prescribed and read? Is the repetition of words already spoken or written by someone else simply "vain repetition" (cf. the KJV translation)? Are Christians who pray with written and learned prayers babbling like pagans?
The first thing to note here is that this text is really stressing the point that people who pray like "babbling pagans" are really believing that "they will be heard because of their many words." The point is obvious. The "pagan" idea is not repeating words but praying many words in hope that this will gain God's favor by such action. This gets to the heart, to the motive Jesus is addressing here. The Greek word, battalogeo, means "to repeat idly" or "meaningless and mechanically repeated phrases." This was done in pagan prayer in the time of Jesus and the apostles. Our Lord is thus rejecting prayers said without proper reverence for God as our Father. Jesus is more concerned with the inner disposition of the heart (cf. Matthew 7:20-23; 15:9) than with outward appearances.
The second thing to note here is that Jesus is not condemning all formal prayers. By this I mean prayers that are already set in writing and then learned and/or read. Formal prayers were used by Jesus himself. How do I know this? He prayed in the synagogue. This was a part of the practice.
All of us use hymns and other set forms in our worship. Even the freest charismatic church follows some ritual, albeit one that allows for greater change within the structure. Many of the songs we sing, from both formal hymnals and informal praise music we learn or see on a projected screen, is prayer. Most of us are already praying in a set manner and do not realize it.
I recall hearing someone say when I was young: "If you have to use someone else's words than you aren't really praying." But the truth is that this is simply untrue. It is, in the end, another one of those numerous reactions that many of us have to traditions that are not our own.
Spontaneous prayer is valuable and benefits those who learn to talk to God in this manner. But it is not the only form of talking with God. Sometimes following the words of others helps. When I am dry, and need to be pushed out of myself, the words of others help me. When I cannot frame my thoughts properly I can use the Lord's Prayer and begin to connect with the petitions. I know I am right and safe to pray this prayer. There is no shadow of doubt. Formal prayers can and do shape my thoughts and desires and keep me in alive to God's revealed will. Informal prayers are more conversational and remind me that my Father loves me and wants to talk to me. A well developed and shaped prayer life will include both. Indeed, repeated written prayers will deliver me from missing something essential that I am prone to leave out if I follow the course of my own thoughts spontaneously. | <urn:uuid:0d49f31d-05cc-4b62-9e4d-00f1c7bd57a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://johnharmstrong.com/did-jesus-forbid-repetitive-prayers/ | 2020-09-26T10:55:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.973794 | 790 |

Make sure you benefit from very low power consumption and excellent jitter values as well as low prices and the excellent availability of samples and serial quantities. Frequency stability is available for XOs starting from +-10ppm over -40/+85°C in housings starting from 3.2×2.5mm, and TC&VCTCXOs in housings starting from 3.2×2.5mm with +-2.5ppm temperature stability over -40/+85°C. The LVCMOS, LVDS and CML versions are available with supply voltages starting from 1.8VDC, or LVPECL, HCSL and LVDS starting from 2.5 VDC. The silicon differential oscillators are suitable for replacing quartz and MEMS oscillators and thus generate a comprehensive savings potential.
Depending on the version, the product range for differential low-power silicon oscillators (XO – DLPO series) comprises solutions in the frequency range of 1.0 – 625 MHz, including versions that have been optimised especially for the requirements of 10GB Ethernet, SONET, SATA, SAS, Fibre Channel and PCI Express. Typical fields of use of differential silicon oscillators are, for instance, telecommunications, networking, Ethernet, instrumentation, storage, server and industrial control system applications.
Compared to the traditional quartz differential oscillators, the differential silicon oscillators require less than half of the power consumption, and feature frequency stabilities of ±10 ppm within -40/+85°C. PETERMANN-TECHNIK provides solutions with LVCMOS, LVDS and CML output signals starting from 1.8 VDC or LVPECL, HCSL and LVDS input signals starting from 2.5 VDC.
The differential silicon oscillators of the DLPO series are available in 6Pad 3.2×2.5, 5.0×3.2 and 7x5mm housings, and can be used on the same layouts as the quartz differential oscillators as a direct 100% drop-in replacement for quartz solutions. In order to be able to reduce the power consumption to 10 µA when not in use, all versions are equipped with a ST (stand-by) function on Pin1. A very fast transient response of a maximum of 10ms after power-on is guaranteed, along with excellent low aging of a maximum of +-1ppm after the first year.
Samples of differential silicon oscillators can be delivered in each frequency in the range of 1 – 625 MHz with +-20ppm within -40/+85°C with 1.8 – 3.3 VDC at the same day, as long as the samples are ordered with PETERMANN-TECHNIK by 2 p.m. Should other parameters be required, sample oscillators or serial quantities can also be provided within a very short delivery period.
The TC&VCTCXO differential versions of the DTCVCTO and HFDTCVCTO series are available with temperature stabilities of +-2.5ppm within -40/+85°C and a 10-year aging of +-5ppm as standard, and also stand out due to their exceptionally high control voltage range of up to +-50 ppm. In addition, the TC&VCTCXO solutions also feature very low jitter values, very low power consumption, exceptionally small housing dimensions and very attractive prices.
Using differential silicon oscillators may generate a comprehensive savings potential. Wiring instructions are provided in the data sheets. Should the data not be sufficient for a quick design-in, experienced PETERMANN-TECHNIK specialists are able to provide help and advice at any time. The specialist design-in-engineering enables PETERMANN-TECHNIK to support its customers accordingly in order to ensure a very short time to market.

PC World Thursday, October 2, ; Like previous Slingbox devices, such as the Slingbox Solo and the Slingbox Pro, it works by streaming video from a cable TV box, digital video recorder, or other home video source through the Slingbox unit, and then displaying the video footage on your network- or Internet-connected Windows laptop. Software for playing high-def content is not yet available for Macs or for mobile devices that support standard-definition streams. But to have any hope of successfully using the Pro-HD to stream high-def video, you’ll need an HD video source, robust broadband at least 1. And even then, you might be disappointed. I used the included manual and SlingPlayer setup assistant, though I had to access online help to obtain configuration settings for my router. The new Slingbox has inputs for component and composite video, coaxial, and both analog and digital audio.

Size is one of the determining factors when it comes to bat bags buying. Depending on the bag design, it greatly influences the number of bats it can fit. Some of the bags can accommodate more bat than others due to their design rather than size. Some bags are constructed with a single compartment and equipped with pouches on the sides. These small pockets are designed to accommodate water bottles or baseball bats.
On the other hand, the size of pockets differs in size; hence the bag will be ideal for carrying other baseball equipment such as gloves, pants, sunscreens among other accessories.

I found myself in PC World last weekend trying to decide if I should pay any of their absurd premiums for some computer components I wanted to sling the way of my neglected HTPC when I happened across a particular, dare I say ugly, device. It was a SlingBox Classic, a brave and bold design if I might say so myself; appearing to be 3 white, verbosely labeled, light up computer keyboard keys connected together.
Everything from the design, the packaging, the set-up process and the software is excellent. Whilst they are all vaguely trapezoid shaped devices the Classic has an ugly computer keyboard theme, the SOLO is absolutely beautiful and the PRO is just… well… weird. The PRO is basically a red oblong suspended inside a translucent outer shell that gives it the appearance of some bizarre confectionary. The lack of a second composite cable and SCART adaptor in the box will likely be a problem for any less technical users.
Sadly the IR transmitter is as ugly as sin, being a pair of indiscrete black things that attach to the video source. Hooking the SlingBox up my router was the last step, and a network cable was supplied to do this. Actually, plugging it in to the mains was the last step but I suspect most people expect that! Downloading and installing the SlingPlayer software was a breeze.

Slingbox is a product, developed by Sling Media, that seeks to solve this problem by, well, slinging your TV content to different screens around your home, as well as at a distance. How does a Slingbox work? There are several generations of Slingbox devices, but they follow the same concept: This includes smart TVs, tablet computers, smartphones, desktops, and laptops.
You can even set up a Slingbox to tap into stored DVR content and watch events you may have missed whenever you want. There are no monthly fees for doing this, other than what you already pay for cable. These features are how Slingbox began.

The SlingBox M1 was very easy to hook up and set up, and the best part is that it can connect to your home network via wireless or wired LAN, making it very easy to install in any part of your home covered by WiFi if you don’t have network cables installed in that location.
That means our video source is the digital cable box. Here’s what our overall configuration is going to look like: Let’s take the Classic Slingbox as an example. The first step is to connect the cable box to the Slingbox using an available video output on the cable box. We’re going to use a Slingbox-supplied cable to connect the S-video, coaxial or composite video output on the cable box S-video is the highest quality to the corresponding input on the Slingbox. We can only make a composite audio connection, so that decision is simple.
Classic Slingbox connections Photo courtesy Sling Community If we had no available outputs on our cable box, we could use the Slingbox as a pass-through, connecting the cable jack to the Slingbox input and the Slingbox output to the cable box. This is how you control the cable box from your computer. When you click “channel up” on your virtual remote, the SlingPlayer software tells the Slingbox to emit the “cannel up” IR code for your cable box.

Upgrading to a new router can give you faster speeds, increased range and the ability to connect more devices. Basic routers are recommended for up to six Wi-Fi devices, and they support tasks like email, web browsing and music streaming. Premium routers, meanwhile, support more devices and data-intense activities, such as gaming and streaming 4K video. Keep in mind the size of your home as well. A basic router will serve your needs in a small apartment or single-floor house with few rooms. | <urn:uuid:27fb9a7e-be36-4dd9-83c3-d192eb17167f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://novoaleksandrovo33.ru/pardon-the-interaction/ | 2020-09-26T11:58:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.939513 | 2,737 |

It was recently reported that Avalanche Software, the company behind the ambitious Disney Infinity game series, would be returning to its roots by developing a game tying into the next Pixar film. As the masterminds that created the great Toy Story 3 video game as well as the immensely enjoyable Cars 2 game, it was great to hear they would be working so closely with Pixar once again. Disney has officially announced the release date for the Cars 3 video game coming this summer – learn the details and watch a trailer introducing the game after the break! [Read more…]
Avalanche Software has had an interesting history. The once-Disney subsidiary burst onto the scene with the ambitious and critically-acclaimed Toy Story 3 video game, which was a great example of how a game based on a property could still be inventive and immensely entertaining, still, people prefer the Besuche diese Seite games. Avalanche followed up that effort up with the Cars 2 video game, another fun and solid effort that went beyond what we see from many property-based games. However, the company knew it had something special with the Toy Story game and expanded the game’s Toy Box mode into a popular game you may have heard of – Disney Infinity. Avalanche was recently shut down, so we did not expect today’s announcement that the developer is up and running again, and working on the next Pixar video game. [Read more…]
Disney Infinity has become a major force in the video game industry and its popularity only continues to grow. Recently, it was announced that the third iteration of the gaming platform would bring Star Wars characters to the series for the first time, which means Jedis will be able to cross paths with Mickey Mouse, Spider-Man, and The Incredibles. Today, Disney Interactive released details, images, and a trailer for the next Pixar property that will be featured in the game – Inside Out! [Read more…]
Earlier this week, the Disney Interactive team teased us with an image of Merida, stating “Bring on the Brave.” We already knew the character would be in the upcoming Disney Infinity 2.0, as she was spotted for a moment in last month’s trailer for the game, along with Maleficent and Stitch. On Wednesday evening, the developers held a sneak preview for D23 members in San Francisco of Merida and Maleficent joining the game – we have images that were shown and the brand new trailer after the break!
Disney Infinity has proven to be an incredibly successful gaming venture for Disney Interactive, as it has quickly become one of the biggest games in the industry. Last year, after much speculation about whether Disney Infinity would be a game-changer for the company, the game has been just that – millions of starter packs have been sold and individual figures that allow players to play as the characters in the game have also become collector’s items. Last week, Disney Interactive and Avalanche Software, the talented group behind the game’s development, returned to Hollywood to unveil Disney Infinity 2.0 – check out our full report, including our photos from the event after the break!
Exactly one year ago, Disney officially unveiled its ambitious new game, Disney Infinity, on stage at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California. Billed as a gaming platform, where distinct games could be played and the different characters from those games could then interact in a special infinitely customizable mode, it was a huge new venture for Disney Interactive. When those games are based on properties such as Monsters University, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Incredibles, you know you are in for something special. After the break, take a look back at what we have seen from Disney Infinity in the year since its unveiling! or you can also play interesting games like poker idn and also get some signup bonuses.
Disney Infinity has proven to be incredibly popular, with sets and figures often selling out at retailers. Recently, it was announced that the gaming platform had sold through over 1 million units, effectively branding the venture a great success for Disney Interactive and developer Avalanche Software. With the holidays rapidly approaching, and the hunt for gifts beginning, sales are just ramping up, especially as Disney has continued to pledge updates and new content. Each week, new Toy Boxes are uploaded for gamers to download (for free!) and explore, providing significantly more replay value than we have come to expect from games in this age. Today, several Toy Story-themed Toy Boxes have been unleashed, and you can take a look at them after the break!
Toy Story is easily one of the most popular franchises at Disney, so it is only fitting that the series would receive its very own play set for Disney Infinity. Plans to release a play set for the huge property were announced at the D23 Expo in August. Now, we have more details and many more images featuring Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang. After the break, take a look at a collection of new images from the play set, watch a video delving into the set, and find out when you can pick one up!
The magic word in Disney Infinity is customizability, as the platform allows players to build their own worlds using a variety of Disney and Pixar franchises as inspiration. The ability to build comes in its Toy Box Mode, where characters from different worlds, such as Dash from The Incredibles and Mike from Monsters University can interact. While there will be a large number of options included in the game at start, power discs that unlock additional options will be sold at retailers. After the break, find a full gallery of the power discs that make up the first wave, along with descriptions of the power each of them will unlock!
Since the announcement of Disney Infinity, the new gaming platform that utilizes both Disney and Pixar franchises, much of the focus has been on the customizability of the initiative. The Toy Box mode allows gamers to mix characters from the distinct Disney/Pixar worlds and build a world for them to play in. Today, Disney Interactive has given us another idea of how huge the scope of the level of customization will be – you can build your own tracks for the characters to race on. After the break, you can check out video, photos, and more details of the track builder in Disney Infinity! | <urn:uuid:eb972bda-be02-4515-b300-33695062c59d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pixartimes.com/category/pixar/video-game/ | 2020-09-26T13:05:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.967842 | 1,287 |

At this uncertain time where Covid-19 is all around us and creating so much anxiety and fear it seems a good time to explain how we can stay positive and reduce our anxiety during this current time.
The most important thing to remember is that we can’t control what is happening around us. We can only control our own thoughts and actions. Anxiety is created when we negatively forecast the future. In this situation we may be thinking, ‘I’m going to get the virus’, ‘My family members will get it’, ‘What will happen if I have to self isolate?’ It is important to remember that our brains can not tell the difference between imagination and reality. When we have these negative thoughts our brains go into overdrive, thinking that the situation is real and trying to protect us as a result. The way our brains will step in to help us out is either through anxiety, depression or anger or a combination of all three. In primitive times, these responses would have been appropriate to protect ourselves against wild animals and tribesmen, but not so much now. So how can we control these anxieties?…
The main method that we have as humans to stay happy, focused and brave is that our brains can create serotonin. Some of you may have heard of serotonin before, it is commonly referred to as the ‘happy hormone’ and it is easier to produce naturally than we may think. In prehistoric times cavemen produced serotonin by going out to hunt, supporting themselves and their families and being thankful for the fact that their families were eating because of them! So, although we don’t have to go out to hunt, we do need to produce serotonin in other ways to stay in control of our anxiety and negative thoughts. The way we do this is in the following ways:
- Positive actions
- Positive thoughts
- Positive interactions
When we do these things we produce a constant flow of serotonin that prevents our brains from going into overdrive and producing an overload of stress hormones (adrenaline).
So what can we do to help us to keep on top of these positive actions, interactions and thoughts?
If you still can, then get outside in the fresh air, even if it’s for 20 minutes. Being outdoors produces masses of serotonin, especially when the sun is shining! Continue to exercise if you can, exercise is one of the biggest producers of serotonin. Keep talking to people, even if you are self isolating, chat to people via whats app, facetime, skype, anything! A good conversation with a friend of family member will perk you up no end. Maybe do something nice for a neighbour such as getting them a bit of shopping, doing things for others in turn makes us feel better! Write down some positive things or things that you are grateful for. Sometimes we forget all the good things we do have, especially with everything going on in the world right now. Seeing those things written down will help you to boost your serotonin levels and beat that anxiety. And the most important thing- sleep! A good sleep helps to empty our anxieties from the day and wake up the next day feeling refreshed and ready to go.
So, although we can’t control COVID-19 we CAN control our own thoughts and stay positive 🙂 | <urn:uuid:55b9eef1-331f-4950-851d-28ce8b0c532f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://songbirdhypnotherapy.co.uk/2020/03/16/covid-19-staying-positive-and-reducing-anxiety/ | 2020-09-26T12:21:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.958028 | 679 |
The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
Welcome to the Official* 2019 Debt Smackdown!
Happy new year everyone!
I know a few of use have been chomping at the bit to get going with 2019's debt - so with out further ado, I present this years spreadsheet! First of all, quick thanks to everyone on here who supported this last year, and helped make sure the Google Sheet remained in tip top shape.
So what's this about? If you are holding onto some debt as you enter 2019 - and would like to get rid of it - this challenge is for you.
To the participants from last year, welcome back! For some of us, our total debts are too large to smack down completely in one calendar year, so if you're here from last year, congratulations on your progress and let's keep on doing this! In 2018, we collectively paid down over $1,500,000 in debt! An increase of OVER $600,000 than in 2017!
For all new participants, we are happy to have you join in this year! New blood is always welcome. Let's all motivate each other to pay off those debts and continue moving forward to financial freedom.
Per last year, this is a shared one between the two forums/communities. Hopefully, that won't bring any problems! (Link to the Forum post [soon])
How it works:
1. List the amount of total debt that you owe.
This step is to give you an awareness of your current debt situation. Feel free to share, this forum is a safe and nonjudgmental place. You can also decide to keep this information private, you don't have to post your total here if you are not comfortable doing so.
2. Post in this thread the total amount of debt you would like to pay off during the 2019 calendar year. (This part is required.)
Feel free to break down the amounts by credit card/type of debt. Also, if you have a specific plan or some ideas on how you plan to pay down the debt, you can post that too. Maybe your plan will spark some ideas for others on how to tackle their own debts!
3. Check in monthly in this thread and report on how your debt smackdown is going. (This part is required.)
4. Post monthly on the 2019 Google Sheet to track your progress. (This part is required.)
Claim a line on the spreadsheet, and post your total debt to be paid off, and the monthly amount that you send off towards it. Some people track their total payments and don't account for interest, some people account for principal only. The method you choose is up to you!
If you come across this challenge later in the year, no worries, you can still jump right in. Just put zeroes in the months where you had not joined the challenge yet, and start in the month you join in.
Last year, we collectively paid off $1,500,000. Let's smash that number again in 2019!
Please let me know any issues with the sheet - sometimes things are a bit wonky when making new ones!
*Official in the sense that there's a spreadsheet. Not official in the sense that it's made by YNAB. I'm just following naming conventions here :)
Better late than never, right? Granted this will likely rollover to the 2020 Debt Smackdown, but I admit it's nice to have a place to be accountable.
As of this minute my total debt amounts to $100,185.35 🤯
Student Loans $72,429
Car Loan $19,089
Credit Cards $8,667.35
The goal at the moment is to pay off $2,124 which is the cost of the vacation we just booked for March (yay!) and then chip away at the rest by continuing to make minimum payments on the cards and car. The student loan factor, I have absolutely no idea. Advice is appreciated. 🤦♀️
the cost of the vacation we just booked for March (yay!)
Perfect, this feeds into the "no new debt" approach. Now just make sure you start a by date category goal for any of the spending money you need. There is nothing more awesome that going on a vacation with money you have and not coming home to scary credit card bills. Also helps keep the "heck, I'm on vacation" spending in check.
July check-in: $579.73 in regular auto and student loan payments, plus a little extra on student loans. We are just over 40% of our goal, which isn't as far as we'd hoped to be by now, but husband just got a raise. I'm still working on getting a job, but I have something in the works that will hopefully work out. If so, we will finally be able to put the smackdown on these loans.
July and August
So, got a side gig and work gave me a bonus of sorts and didn't go to any of my trips I had planned to. I feel good and shite, but, it is the bed I made, so I accept it.
July just balanced my loc payment to $200 like I've been doing this year. But August I put an extra $100 to have paid $300. I'm pretty excited, it's the most I've put to the account.
I have added $500 to my future debt and now have $1783 set aside. I also got the 1 yr balance transfer letter come in, so I'm going to be doing that and will start having a year of debt reduction to pay off for this expense I've been saving for.
Overall, I'm pretty please. I also bought myself some treats - much needed boots and a bracelet because sometimes it's ok to give yourself a treat. Even some books :)
Of course everyday I think how can I increase my income.
$1,556,050 paid off to date.
OMG! You debt smackers are doing such an amazing job.
At time of writing this post, you have smacked down a whopping $1,556,050.84 (US$) and you are doing that with less than 33% of the original participants checking in.
You are one hard-core group of determined people, and I applaud you all!
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
July update: I accidentally paid Marcus Goldman twice (forgot I'd set up autopay)! I could have coasted and skipped the August payment, but I, since I had it, I paid it!
August check-in: I dug into the budget and found $300 more a month to throw at debt every month. My husband started getting a $400 auto allowance, so, for now, we're also putting that toward debt. With the extra $700, I should be able to make my goal for this year!
I'm $2.12 short of my $2700 goal for the month because I hit "quick pay" on the Navient site instead of setting the amounts manually. I can live with the difference!
Way behind on replies and checking in. Glad to see everyone is plugging along!
Summer has been a big old money suck for us so I don't feel like we've really made any progress - summer activities, back to school, marching band, upcoming oral surgery appts that we have to pay for.... so much money. I did transfer our largest balance to a 0% offer so that will help make the money go a little farther! It feels like we've done nothing but keep up with interest the last couple of months so that should help.
Redid our undebtit plan to start fresh in September with the transfer and what we can snowball comfortably while still paying for band and with the holidays coming. I had hoped that our smallest CC would be paid off by the end of the year but that probably won't happen since we lost so much momentum this summer but it should be under $5000 by then, maybe under $4000 if I can really get disciplined and we don't have any surprises pop up that aren't already accounted for.
July check in - a little late. I'm still plugging away and am close to finally making some progress on my debt repayment. Although it is going slowly, it is forward movement and I will take it! I will be able to enter something other than 0 in August which will feel SOOOOOO good! I am looking forward to see where we all land at the end of the year! Remember, small steps make big ones with time. Cheers
August Update: Paid $1340 towards my credit card debt and $100 towards my car loan.
I was able to transfer all my credit card balances to one card with 0% apr for 12 months. Now I can put all my attention on that one card without feeling stressed trying to manage different dates and websites.
September is going to be a bit tight - have car maintenance and insurance coming up but going to do the best I can. Can't believe it's almost September already!
I just started re-using YNAB as I have never been able to really get into the hang of things (I think this is try 5??). Hopefully this time it works. Still slowly paying down my student loans, but thankfully my loan to my parents will be paid off by the end of the month since its a 3 pay month for me. I just bought a house after renting my whole adult life, so its been a big change, but I had enough savings to cover all the purchase costs and work that needs to be done right away. I am still 6 years away from having all my student loans paid off, but I am paying my mortgage of weekly and hopefully once my student loans are gone, I can start paying it off more aggressively. I want to be debt free by 50 and retired by 61... still got a number of years to go, but looking forward to it. I am trying to decide if I should get a second job for a few hours a week so that I can pay my debt down quicker. Decisions...decisions
Checking in with final numbers for August.....
Starting balance Ending balance
$64,793.27 1st Mortgage $64,283.40 (-509.87)
$13,939.45 2nd Mortgage $13,732.53 (-206.92)
$ 7,600.88 Car $ 7,212.80 (-388.08)
Total debt paid down in August $1,104.87, total for 2019 $18,503.12 (70.76% of goal).
OOFTA - this month is tough! We have 3 weddings in the next 6 weeks and 3 of our 6 grand kids have August birthdays. Plus we've been doing all sorts of summer fun stuff so our debt pay off has slowed a bit. Hubby's busy time at work will be starting soon, so we'll have some bigger checks to work with. Still hoping to have my car paid off this year and we're tracking just slightly ahead of plan :)
Well, very late July check in here. I paid only the minimums in July and ended up adding more debt due to several factors. With all that went wrong in June, I thought I got away with only adding about $800 in debt. But then when working on July's budget, I realized it was much worse because normally I would have $1500-$2000 already in the budget for the next month, and I had...nothing. So that sucked big time. Then, July (and so far August) was painfully slow at work. I am a self-employed massage therapist, so when all the clients are at the lake and on vacation, etc, I have very little income. Also have 3 separate clients whose insurance companies are dragging their feet on payments so that is not helping matters any. Putting in lots of hours to potentially not get paid was definitely not in the plan.
I have been working on my add-on business of handmade jewelry to try and bring in some extra income, I have made some sales but it hasn't been as much as I would like. I am debating setting up an online shop but I don't know that I am ready to take on that headache!
I will keep plugging away, and eventually I should be able to get back to where I want to be- no debt!
Does anyone else anxiously await their paychecks so they can make debt payments? Like I've gotten the hang of keeping within my budget (for the most part) but I almost feel like my brain is always counting down towards my checks because I'm so excited to be able to throw extra money towards my credit card debts 😅
Mid-August check in and I'm down $83 on the bulky balance transfer card debt. I'm currently counting down the days until my paycheck this Friday because I think I'm going to be able to pay off my two other credit cards completely, and with any luck throw some towards savings. Then in September I pay off my phone and I'll finally be able to make larger payments towards my bulk debt! 💃
Moved $10k of 2nd mortgage to zero interest credit cards. went on vacation in early august and this month had to pay that balance off (so increased cc balance about 4k and then repaid it so net neutral and no progress this month except for $500)
YTD debt reduction is $17k (Jan - April) + 22k (July) + $500 (August) = = $39, 500 debt paydown
- continue to focus on the transferred balance of the 2nd Mortgage balance of $10k - pay an extra $400 per month towards principal
- September: I anticipate about a 10k bonus and this will go in savings for property taxes
- October: spouse will be receiving about $30k bonus and we plan to completely pay off all credit cards which now includes that 2nd mortgage balance ($11k) and our remaining car loan of ($19K).
- November: start focusing on increasing savings and increase 401k contributions and kids' 529
Check check check......Another payment down!
I'm super proud of myself for affording to pay tuition and pay debt down all at once. It's making me crazy because I can't afford to do more school at a time than I am, which is DRAGGING on my degree, but I'll be outta debt next year which will make everything that much easier to budget when my $460 goes towards tuition rather than debt.
It's almost the end of August. I'm not sure I checked in in July. Our godkids' parents magically produced a new date for them to return (with no contributions on their part) necessitating last minute flights across country three weeks earlier than expected. My budget has sad.
We added $1800 in debt in July thanks to the flights. Haven't paid down March and have NOTHING in emergency funds because it was all allocated to keep from using the cards in July (PRO TIP: Don't do that!). The stress is unfathomable. Hubby had a not-bad month in July, but after 4 HORRENDOUS months in a row, it seemed very MEH.
The budget is up-to-date and we are still kicking. ON track for June 2021 to be debt free according to Undebt.It, so that's something, right? :(
I've been missing in action this whole year despite the best of intentions. Well, it's taken me this long to get my act together but I am ready to go. I've readjusted my goal for this year to a very small but manageable number. My commitment is to get that done and stay on track. First payment will be next month. Baby steps. The rest of you are so inspiring, keep up the great work.
So today I realized that, with careful budgeting and just a regular/decent month next month, I can eliminate a car note (paid off on normal schedule), a student loan (throwing an extra $500 at it in September), and 2 tiny credit card balances--Home Depot and Lowe's on 0 interest from a project so we've been slow-paying them-by the end of October. It would really be AHMAZING for mental progress so I'm going to bring this up at next week's money meeting! | <urn:uuid:3b772a44-75d1-4207-9deb-02e9935388fd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://support.youneedabudget.com/t/80dnfn/the-official-2019-debt-smackdown?r=m2a9c3 | 2020-09-26T12:29:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.975436 | 3,407 |

As we celebrate five years of bringing the stories of Georgia’s LGBT community to the forefront, we also are proud to announce several changes that will propel us into the next five years and beyond.
First and foremost, it’s all in a name. And while it sounds the same, it’s got a new look and that’s Georgia Voice. But don’t worry about changing your bookmarks as www.thegavoice.com redirects to www.thegeorgiavoice.com.
Secondly, coming on the heels of the redesign of our website last year, a three-month long process has been completed and we our excited to unveil our brand new logo and a complete redesign of our print product. It comes to you thanks to the creative mind of our art director Rob Boeger, under the direction of our publisher Tim Boyd and our managing partner Chris Cash.
“It’s interesting how you start with one idea and you wind up finishing in a different place altogether than you originally envisioned and that it eventually takes you where it needed to go,” Boeger says. “The thought was to give each section its own distinct identity so that the reader could more easily identify transition points in the paper. The redesign is a change from front to back that allows for an easier reading experience and an overall dynamic look that is visually more appealing for the reader. I hope the readers enjoy the new look as we move Georgia Voice into its new era.”
Georgia Voice’s dedicated, hard-charging editor Dyana Bagby says, “The new look for Georgia Voice is one of many hours of work from the staff and we are thrilled with the final result. We wanted to give our readers and advertisers a fresh product while also marking our five-year anniversary in a special way. But what we will continue to do, as we always have, is inform our readers about issues facing our community better than anyone else while also sharing the many inspiring stories of individuals who do the work to make our world a better place.”
You’ll be able to find our print product in our slick new distribution boxes at a number of new locations throughout the city of Atlanta and beyond—that’s right OTP readers, we listened to you and now it’s easier than ever to get the Georgia Voice. By the end of 2015, we’ll have 125 distribution points and will have increased our circulation from 8,000 to 10,000.
You’ll continue to see those stories brought to you by Bagby, deputy editor Patrick Saunders who is entering his second year with us and who you’re sure to have seen running around town covering our community’s stories from every angle, as well as our many talented freelancers and columnists. And we’d like to welcome to new additions to our team of columnists—Simon Williamson who writes about life outside the perimeter in his column “Out in the Wild,” and Charles Stephens who writes about life as a gay man of color in his column “The Iconoclast.”
Speaking of additions to our staff, we’d like to announce that Dixon Taylor has joined Georgia Voice as one of our sales executives. She brings a wealth of experience in her celebrated career, which you’ll read about in our latest issue, and she joins the always fabulous Anne Clarke to make for a powerhouse sales team.
We will continue to build strong partnerships, such as our current ones with the city’s celebrated LGBT film festival Out On Film and the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, and keep an eye out for a forthcoming announcement on an exciting new partnership in a totally different realm of media.
All of these steps were taken in order to give you the Georgia Voice you deserve to keep you informed and to tell your many amazing stories.
“When we launched Georgia Voice in March 2010 our goal was simple: To be the media outlet of record for the LGBT community in Atlanta and throughout the state,” Boyd says. “I want to thank all the advertisers, readers, contributors and our very talented staff who have made the last five years possible. I look forward to the next five years!” | <urn:uuid:b5848ee7-5aab-4af5-abac-339ffebc41f5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thegavoice.com/editorial/georgia-voice-unveils-print-redesign-new-logo-new-staff/ | 2020-09-26T11:41:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.959313 | 876 |
The Oxford dictionary defines indigenization as the action or process of bringing something under the control, dominance or influence of the people native to an area. This basically means substitution of an imported product with the one manufactured within the country.
Although this does not make the latter a replica of the former as they are both essentially the same product except the ‘home-manufactured’ one has slight changes like modern sub-assemblies, be more energy efficient and more effective in the local environment.
In 2014, the ‘Make in India’ scheme was launched to improve India’s manufacturing prowess and open more vacancies for employment. The core goal of this scheme was to support the indigenization of technologies be it electronics, ICT, defence, space, transport, etc.
In today’s world where there is a cut-throat competition between countries with respect to economy, military and infrastructure, technology place an important factor in improving the rate of growth. But what is even more vital is that the men behind the machines can comprehend the technology.
Therefore, indigenization of technology and shifting to new technology are one of the foremost priorities of the leaders across the globe, who want to see their nation prosper.
Significance of Indigenization of Technology and Developing New Technologies
Indigenization is crucial step for a developing economy to transform itself into a developed economy. Hence, it holds huge economic significance. With the increasing globalisation, more and more men and material resources are being available for the foreign nations to utilise for their benefits through bilateral ties.
This leads to underutilisation of its own resources by the nation to develop itself. Using of own natural resources is cheaper and easy to harness.
It is also to be noted that for developing nations, indigenization is the prologue of development of new technology. Hence indigenization holds significance in R&D too. As long as a country is able to successfully implement indigenization of technology, it earns the capability of stand independently and perform further research and develop new technology on its own.
This is not only a technological advancement in itself, but also a huge morale booster for the citizens of India. After all, innovation is crucial to develop new technology.
Science and Technology are the basis of evolution of a nation into a global super power. Science has made works easier and more efficient over the period of time and is constantly evolving as a result of intense global competition.
Therefore staying dependent on another nation’s technology will allow this nation to have access to all our data and information which is a very risky game altogether.
Hence to limit other nation’s access to the information of our nation and secure the nation’s interests can only be possible upon implementing indigenization of technology. This gives indigenization the national and territorial security significance.
Advantages of Indigenization of Technology
There are various ways in which indigenization of foreign technology can prove fruitful. Firstly, it has a huge psychological and socioeconomic impact. Indigenization leads to a sense of independence and accomplishment among the citizens.
Furthermore, it broadens the job openings in manufacturing and other services sector. Additionally, post indigenization cost of production is cheaper for the same quality of product as compared to importing the technology.
Indigenization also promotes the culture of science and technology in the country. Once we have full autonomy over technology and essentially call it ‘ours’, it vastly improves scope of research and development promoting various institutes to take up more projects in the name of innovation. This ultimately leads to technological advancement of our nation which further contributes to the betterment of the economy.
Finally, only the natives fully understand what specifications and optimum calibrations a machine requires to be able to operate in the regional conditions. When the technology meets the specific needs and demands of the locals, they will be able to operate it more skilfully and improve the productivity of the respective field of utilisation.
Development of New Technology
Once a nation becomes self-sufficient in terms of technology, the next step involves innovation to develop new technology. This involves efforts at multiple levels along with proper cooperation and coordination to keep in mind all the necessities of developing a new technology.
Firstly, the duties of the government include implementing national and state policies to establish a healthy environment that encourages competition and innovation in both private and public sector. This can be achieved by stressing on four major areas-
- Maintaining strong competitive pressure on domestic market.
- Harbouring high quality human capital.
- Improving the networking between industry-institution-academia.
- Openness and ease of access to foreign technologies.
Furthermore, another important and decisive factor is the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework of the nation. IPR protects an individual or an organisation’s original work, invention or discovery from being used by other parties for profits. This encourages research and development in the nation leading to advancement in indigenous technology.
Secondly, for private and public sector companies, it is important to identify potential talents and support them whole-heartedly. This will simultaneously boost the profits and prestige of the companies which ultimately leads to developing the country’s technology too.
This can be done by funding and investing on entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship ventures, tapping into the youth potential of the country. Further support can be provided in the form of securing equipment and material for developing the new technology.
Indigenization and Development of New Technologies in Various Sectors of Indian Economy
Right from 1947, India had identified the need of becoming a self-sustainable nation and pushed for indigenization of various sectors of economy. It is widely accepted that the Indian economy developed in five phases in terms of strengthening the science and technology department.
Phase I was focused on building relevant infrastructure, phase 2 included reorientation, phase 3 promoted the use and application of indigenous technology, phase 4 involved moving towards the economic liberalisation and finally, phase 5 involves development of Science and technology in a economically liberalised nation.
The extent of indigenization and development of new technology in India can be measured using six keystone sectors-
- Agriculture; as it has a major share in India’s GDP.
- Automobile; since it is a vital part of connectivity and networking.
- Information and Communication Technology; fastest growing sector in India.
- Healthcare and biotechnology; emerging field of science and technology.
- Space; symbolic significance in field of science and technology.
- Defence; crucial for maintaining security of the state.
Agriculture has been predominantly an indigenous industry. It was in focus from the first five year plan to improve the situation of the farming and animal rearing sector to meet the shortages in food that was caused due to sudden increase in population as a result of the refugee influx.
Agriculture was already the biggest sector of production and employment in the 20th century. To further improve the crop and animal yield various industry-specific revolutions were observed like the Green Revolution-which introduced use of novel fertilisers, HYV plants and modern irrigation technology to farming.
White revolution- improved production of milk by strengthening the coordination between the primary producers and secondary producers (milkmen and companies). Blue revolution occurred to improve quality of aquaculture and yellow revolution which improved the extraction, processing and market of vegetable oils in India.
Recently, genetically modified crops are being introduced as novel crops which are high yielding as well as disease resistant. These were developed by implementing rDNA technology in agricultural practices.
Transport and automobile industry has remained in demand especially as a result of rapid urbanisation. This sector has always been dominated by private sector player. The earliest of the cars were imported from Britain and other European nations. This exposed the western car companies to the Indian scene.
This was followed by first attempt towards indigenization as the first manufacturing plants of Fiat were established in India. Over the years, many more western stakeholders would enter the Indian automobile market, increasing competition.
Indian counterparts too entered this market by 1980’s in the form of Maruti and Tata (a decade later). They were a hit on the road due to their efficient manoeuvrability on the Indian roads which the western vehicles lacked. Today, Maruti and Tata have created world class sedans, and are automobile giants in the nation.
ICT and IT industry are perhaps the best ever success story of Indian economy. It started in 1974 when Burroughs, a computer mainframe manufacturer asked its Indian sales agent Tata Consultancy Services to outsource programmers to help them out. India’s fame as accomplished IT services nation had just started to grow.
But technology that we used was imported from the west. The computers, the instructors, the clients and the product being made was more of an international market thing than for domestic market. But over the years, this was to change as more and more Indian IT companies began to rise in fame because of their innovative designs that appealed to the domestic consumers.
The likes of Infosys, Wipro, Anand Computing, iBall, Tata Elxsi, etc. are the evidence of indigenization and development of modern and target-consumer specific computers.
Healthcare is an important sector in which India has been able to achieve great heights. Today, people from around the world are coming to India to conduct their treatment in Indian hospitals. While indigenization of medical and biotechnological resources is yet to be fully achieved, but the workforce consisting of doctors, paramedics and nurses have become adept in using the current technologies.
Biotechnology is comparatively a newer field than healthcare and medicine. But even this sector has made a considerable impact in healthcare practices by introducing innovative applications like gene mapping, tailor made drug dosage and other such technologies.
Companies like Biocon, Panacea Biotech and others have already been well established and are prompting more and more biotech students to take up the employment in their sector
Space has been a muscle flex by India on various other countries. From launching Aryabhatta on a Russian rocket to launching missile Chandrayaan 2 on an indigenous rocket, these have always brought laurels to India.
Dr. Vikiram Sarabhai and ISRO are to be thanked for the feats achieved by India in terms of space technology in the recent years, launching satellites and spacecrafts with minimal budgets. Indian Space research and development have been sufficiently funded and supported by the union governments down the line, providing them with funds and resources to carry forward R&D.
Finally, we come to defence. India’s mixed economy puts all the defence manufacturing under public sector undertaking. With that being said, India is also the world’s largest importer of arms and military equipment. Most of the aircraft’s, guns and ships are from western countries, especially Russia, the USA, Israel and other places.
Russia has been India’s all-weather ally and has been constantly supplying weapons and aircraft’s to India. But over the years, Indian military forces have become vintage in nature. The weapons that we use as well as a few planes that are still in service signify the need for immediate modernisation of the forces.
But thankfully, India has started to take baby steps towards defence indigenization. The F-INSAS programme is supposed to convert the Indian Army into a futuristic terrestrial force and is completely being developed under Indian supervision.
Similarly, HAL Tejas, a light combat aircraft has been the first single-engine fighter plane to be completely manufactured in India. In fact, Tejas was the star of the ‘Make in India’ policy.
While these steps are being taken to ensure that the military is able to keep up with the levels of other military forces, India’s tag as the largest military importer will remain for a while indicating complete indigenization to be difficult in near future.
Technological advancement is a must for economic growth of a nation. But what is even more important is indigenization of that technology so that it can be implemented with full effect in tackling issues and successfully overcoming them.
Furthermore, indigenization is also viewed as pre-cursor to innovation which leads to development of new technology in a much more inexpensive cost than imported technology.
Moreover, indigenization reinforces the identity of citizens in national sense, making them feel a collective pride in the form of the owning the technology as ‘Indians’.
This has a positive effect on the confidence of the people which shows in their work, that ultimately makes them more productive. Therefore, it is important for governments and companies to promote indigenization and development of new technology as it is a noble task that will lead to a brighter future for the nation. | <urn:uuid:1f504848-df2c-4341-ae8d-6bb9fa1aa828> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://upscbuddy.com/indigenization-technology-developing-new-technology/ | 2020-09-26T11:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.954647 | 2,618 |

組織特異性The source of this protein is neonatal foreskin. The 67-kDa type II keratins are expressed in terminally differentiating epidermis.
関連疾患Defects in KRT1 are a cause of bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE) [MIM:113800]; also known as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) or bullous erythroderma ichthyosiformis congenita of Brocq. BCIE is an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by widespread blistering and an ichthyotic erythroderma at birth that persist into adulthood. Histologically there is a diffuse epidermolytic degeneration in the lower spinous layer of the epidermis. Within a few weeks from birth, erythroderma and blister formation diminish and hyperkeratoses develop.
Defects in KRT1 are the cause of ichthyosis hystrix Curth-Macklin type (IHCM) [MIM:146590]. IHCM is a genodermatosis with severe verrucous hyperkeratosis. Affected individuals manifest congenital verrucous black scale on the scalp, neck, and limbs with truncal erythema, palmoplantar keratoderma and keratoses on the lips, ears, nipples and buttocks.
Defects in KRT1 are a cause of palmoplantar keratoderma non-epidermolytic (NEPPK) [MIM:600962]. NEPKK is a dermatological disorder characterized by focal palmoplantar keratoderma with oral, genital, and follicular lesions.
Defects in KRT1 are a cause of ichthyosis annular epidermolytic (AEI) [MIM:607602]; also known as cyclic ichthyosis with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. AEI is a skin disorder resembling bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. Affected individuals present with bullous ichthyosis in early childhood and hyperkeratotic lichenified plaques in the flexural areas and extensor surfaces at later ages. The feature that distinguishes AEI from BCIE is dramatic episodes of flares of annular polycyclic plaques with scale, which coalesce to involve most of the body surface and can persist for several weeks or even months.
Defects in KRT1 are the cause of palmoplantar keratoderma striate type 3 (SPPK3) [MIM:607654]; also known as keratosis palmoplantaris striata III. SPPK3 is a dermatological disorder affecting palm and sole skin where stratum corneum and epidermal layers are thickened. There is no involvement of non-palmoplantar skin, and both hair and nails are normal.

Gabi Fresh is going back to basics. The style blogger turned swimsuit designer put her unique sartorial spin on more than a dozen swimsuit collections so far, with the Summer 2020 line marking her 13th collection with the size inclusive brand Swimsuits For All.
“I was inspired by the minimalist trend because I’ve been loving it as a consumer, and I’ve been wanting more options in my size,” Gabi tells Bustle. “I wanted this collection to focus on clean lines and mostly solid colors, while still staying true to my brand by incorporating the unique details that I’m known for.”
The end result is an 11-piece swim collection filled with classic silhouettes and trendy details, like ruching and cut-outs in specialty fabrics. All the designs are available in sizes 10-26 with cup sizes ranging from D/DD-G/H cups, and retail for under $160.
“I love them all, but my favorite is the lilac bikini,” she says. “I’m so into the color and the ring details are really cool. I’d wear it with a pastel caftan and straw hat.” Gabi wears the suit in the Summer 2020 campaign, which also features Nadia Aboulhosn and Maxey Greene who starred in the inaugural collection ad seven years ago.
With over 755,000 Instagram followers eager to buy anything she launches, Gabi could certainly have her pick at designing just about anything. But swimwear has personal significance for her.
“I love swim because of how much it means to my community,” Gabi shares. “Having access to stylish bikinis literally didn’t exist a decade ago, so this is still a really exciting category. Many women have complicated relationships with their bodies, and as a culture there is so much pressure around ‘summer bodies,’ etc. To challenge that narrative with swimwear that makes plus size women feel good is really rewarding.”
As for her quarantine wardrobe, Gabi has been sticking to what’s comfortable, and occasionally sprinkling in fancier pieces when she’s shooting or working on content. “I mostly have been wearing activewear or loungewear,” she says. “But once in a while, I’ll throw on a dress or something when I want to feel cute or make some new content. My go-to look is a pair of jeans and a graphic tee, or a printed wrap dress.” And if she decides to do some socially-distanced sunbathing, of course, she has her pick of swimwear. | <urn:uuid:25b2909d-1603-4520-8771-a92dd1f3e487> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bustle.com/fashion/gabi-fresh-x-swimsuits-4-all-is-all-about-chic-minimalism-this-season-22915903 | 2020-09-26T12:55:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.963415 | 567 |
Dad sat at the edge of the couch with his eyes tightly closed. He was using what little energy he had just to keep his frail, 135 pound body, upright. I wrapped my arms around the sides of his chest, my fingers sinking deep between the ridges of his rib cage. Tears consumed my ability to see. Just over 365 days ago dad was a healthy, robust, 69-year-old man. Life was surging through his veins as he looked forward to his next decade of life. He and mom were planning new adventures, discussing upcoming family holiday traditions, and they were already anticipating their 50th anniversary.
Life has an amazing ability to take sudden and tragic shifts that leave us paralyzed in emotional limbo. Now, my once strong superman of a dad couldn’t even lift his body off the couch.
I whispered in his ear: “I love you Padre.”
Padre. I do not recall when I started calling him that, but what I know is it became a term of love, honor, and friendship. I would call him on the phone and exuberantly say, “PADRE!”. He would immediately respond, one-upping my exuberance, “SON-DRE!”
Oh, how I wish I could hear him say that one more time. Just one more time.
Dad slowly lifted his arms and wrapped them around my neck, interlocking his fingers. My usually strong and confident voice, quivered, “On the count of three dad . . . 1 – 2 – 3.” With all of my strength, I carefully lifted him to his feet. We paused. His muscles were slow to respond. He tried to catch his breath.
I stood there, motionless, sinking in a sea of denial. Cancer is a vindictive and cruel disease that has claimed an incomprehensible number of lives. Cancer sucks!
Once his body was able, we focused on the next challenge – a five foot trek from the edge of the couch to the sterile hospital bed placed in the corner of the living room. The distance was minimal. The challenge equated to hiking the Grand Canyon – rim to rim.
“O.K. Dad.” Michele, my sister, softly said. “We have you. Lean on us. We will get you there.”
Over the next several minutes Mom, Michele, and I cautiously guided dad to the edge of his bed. We slowly lowered his body and gently laid him down.
The denial, or maybe it’s hope, either way, started to dissipate. The doctor, just two months prior, informed us that he had 18 months to live. That once unfair and mind numbing diagnosis now seemed like a cruel joke. Hospice was now engaged, and we have the unfortunate fortunate opportunity to assist dad as his body quickly fails.
In that moment, as I stood staring at my dad, the unexpected happened. God’s voice pierced through my deafening sorrow that was erupting in my soul and revealed a simple truth:“For me, to live is Christ and to die is to gain.” (Philippians 1:21).
So many times we focus on the ending four words of this verse. I understand that death for a Christ-follower is an unmeasurable gain. The Bible is clear about Jesus preparing a place for everyONE who accepts Him as Savior. His grace is beyond amazing. John gives us a picture of what heaven will be like. Hope surges forward as we grasp the reality that we will live in eternity without pain, loneliness, sorrow, addiction, hurt, sickness, depression, guilt, or even death. We will live in the presence of Abba – Father. Ahhh, now that is GAIN.
But for me, at this moment, death is a cruel joke that this fractured world has doled out yet again. I know that Dad will experience unfathomable gain, but we are left with an unthinkable loss. The reality is that death leaves us holding the fractured pieces of a another life that has been brutally ripped away.
But as I looked at Dad, lying in his bed helpless, struggling to do the simplest of human functions, joy suddenly pierced the deep sorrow in the my heart.
“To live is Christ!” I have read those words. I have processed those words. I have even repeatedly taught those words. But now, these four words have an entirely new meaning.
If your life has ever intersected with my dad, you have been impacted by his resolve to live as Christ.
Dad’s radiating smile imposed its will on whatever type of day you were having. His relationship with God fueled his smile.
Dad’s unswerving desire to pray for anyone, no-matter where they were on their spiritual journey, was a response to Christ radically redirecting the trajectory his life.
Dad’s unwavering resolve to speak words of encouragement and admonishment to couples, pastors, leaders, and parents, was his response to God’s call on his life.
Dad’s unrelenting pursuit to teach the Bible, not in the attempt to deepen knowledge, but to motivate you to change, grow, and experience God’s plan for your life here on this earth.
Dad’s deepening love for his wife over the past 46 years reflects his understanding of God’s unconditional love for him.
Dad’s unending commitment to serve the Church was driven by Christ’s command to go!
This world is a better place because dad has lived-out these words. I am a better husband, father, pastor, leader, and Christ-follower because my dad’s commitment to live as Christ. And for that I will always be thankful.
With sorrow engulfing the depth of my heart, I will help dad experience the gain that is awaiting him.
With joy piercing my sorrow, I will hold on to the fact that dad Lived as Christ! | <urn:uuid:e6d8fa34-faba-4c7f-8c61-4b5134832fce> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.christrethewey.com/post/the-unexpected | 2020-09-26T12:03:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.982546 | 1,254 |

An extension for Magento on Magento Connect (here) allows users to run a promotion similar to Buy X Get Y Free, but of different products (instead of a number of the same products). The caveat to this extension however is that it breaks a Magento 1.4.x installation completely, due to key changes in the coupon validation routines in the upgrade.
Anyway, I attach to this post the fixed file. Unzip this file, overwrite app/code/local/Sttl/Buygetfree/Model/Validator.php with the one inside the zip, and go create some promotions!
P.S: This ([download id=”1″ format=”7″]) is a full version of all the module’s files if you find it easier to do it that way. Place this file in app/code/local and extract. Then create a file called Sttl_Buygetfree.xml in app/etc/modules and put this inside of it: | <urn:uuid:ffd6b273-4411-4894-a989-124104099cfc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.danneh.org/2010/07/magento-buy-x-get-lowest-priced-item-free/ | 2020-09-26T12:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.849985 | 207 |

FSR Lauds Madelaine Feldman, MD, FACR for Her Senate Testimony on PBMs
On February 5th, 2020, the Florida Senate Health Policy Committee met in Tallahassee, Florida to address pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and whether or not they actually serve to benefit Florida's patients.
On February 5th, 2020, the Florida Senate Health Policy Committee met in Tallahassee, Florida to address pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and whether or not they actually serve to benefit Florida's patients. In a mere seven minutes of testimony, Dr. Feldman thoroughly dissected and exposed PBM practices and their adverse effects. In the United States, three giants (Express Scripts, CVS, and UnitedHealth) are responsible for 80% of all PBM coverage. However, these companies survive shrouded in mystery and untold profits.
During her testimony, Dr. Feldman exposed one of the PBM giants, Express Scripts, showing how they were using a flawed health care system to increase their profits at the expense of patients. She went on to explain how Express Scripts must classify pharma as a client, because 40% of their revenue comes from them. PBMs control what drugs patients can have, what order they can take them, where they can buy them, and how much they will pay for them. Unfortunately, the drugs that profit PBMs the most are the ones getting preferred. It is time for change and transparency, because PBM shareholders are trumping patient's well-being every day. Learn more — read the full article on Express Scripts' PBM practices.
Even in the face of the recently increased attention to the impossibly complex drug industry following the growing public outcry over rising drug costs, PBMs have managed to stay in large part under the public's radar. Acting as intermediaries between insurers, manufacturers, and pharmacies, PBMs play a uniquely central role in the prescription drug market, handling everything from negotiating prices with drug manufacturers and setting patient copay amounts to determining which drugs are covered by which insurers. And yet, despite their undeniable significance, PBMs and their effect on drug costs have managed to go largely unnoticed by the vast majority of Americans, allowing them to quietly influence not only prices and ultimately the amount patients pay for their prescriptions but also which drugs are available and accessible to the public. Though they publicly state that their mission is to lower the patient costs of prescription drugs, PBMs use an unchecked rebate system to amass huge profits at the expense of patients. A rebate is a chunk of money that a drugmaker agrees to pay a PBM each time a certain prescription is filled. The drugmakers willing to pay the highest rebates are given preferential positions on PBM formularies. Patients, however, pay a percentage of the list price, not what the PBM ultimately paid for the drug. This equation drives up the list price, bringing in huge profits for PBMs at the expense of patients.
Currently, PBMs are not required to share what percentage of their revenue is coming from these rebates. All we know is that the PBM keeps a portion of it and pass the rest on to the patients. But past that, all of the details of that are top secret. | <urn:uuid:367c0df9-534a-4d21-b6db-8825ff97a82f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.floridarheumatology.org/blog_home.asp?Display=8 | 2020-09-26T10:52:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.961698 | 661 |

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Authorities continue to delve into the secret lives of aggressive Christianity members out of Fence Lake, New Mexico.
The Cibola County Sheriff says four more people were arrested Wednesday, for failing to register the births of their 11 kids.
Days after allegations of child sex abuse surfaced against the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, more members are in custody and were caught trying to leave their compound with two vans full of kids.
Deputies arrested Amos, Victoria, Ruth and Timothy River on felony warrants.
According to the Washington Post, authorities were there trying to pick up children for interviews when they found two vans leaving the compound, south of Gallup.
The Washington Post also reports leaders of the group had originally told deputies they didn’t have transportation to take the kids to an interview with the FBI.
It turns out, they not only had transportation, but those vans had everything the members needed for a road trip, including a $1,000 in cash, luggage and maps.
The Cibola County Sheriff says he believes they were trying to get out of town to hide the kids. The sheriff also says those children were likely between the ages of 4 and 17. They have now been turned over to CYFD.
The group continues to dispute accusations of abuse, calling them false. Their attorney says the claims that members were trying to escape are not true. | <urn:uuid:0bc340b9-2eb9-4004-ac2f-bdcf08c7e54d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.krqe.com/news/four-more-arrested-in-aggressive-christianity-group/ | 2020-09-26T12:03:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.986271 | 295 |
Your old marketing techniques may no longer be working for you. That’s something to expect, especially since times are always changing. Have you thought about video marketing? If the answer is no, it’s time to try it out. It is a new way to get to more people. Find out what to do by reading these tips on video marketing.
Do not expect customers to watch a video that is longer than 20 minutes. If you’re doing a demo for a product, you can do a 20-minute video to showcase its features. If, on the other hand, you are just talking to the viewer about information, keep it under ten minutes.
Use video marketing to reach out to your customers. You can ask that customers send in questions so you can create video responses. It would be a nice gesture to give free products to those that sent in questions.
You can’t expect viewers to watch videos over 20 minutes in length. You may need all of that time if you are showing your audience how a certain product works. If you’re just speaking to the audience and advertising, then 10 minutes should be your limit.
When editing your video for publication, include screenshots of your website. This lets viewers see how the site is formatted. Screenshots are also a great tool to use when you’re doing a tutorial video. Just save the screenshot and edit it into your video.
When you produce video marketing content, do not get stuck on the production value of your content. Large budgets don’t always mean great returns. Even large companies have used cost-efficient videos to generate a high number of sales.
Show people how to use your products through video marketing. People will gain more confidence if you give them a demonstration to show off how your product works. Seeing a product work live can increase your sales.
Choose good and well-thought out titles when starting to use video marketing. Viewers will be drawn to your videos if they see interesting or relevant titles. They’ll want to hear what you’re talking about if you pique their interest with the title. Take a little time to create creative titles for your videos.
In video marketing, the window of opportunity in capturing your audience’s attention is very small. The initial 15 seconds are the make or break period. Draw them in quickly so that they will stick around for the video’s entirety.
Working as part of a team can be a smart way to develop video content. This can be coworkers, friends, family or even a club or organization. Just be sure to give credit where credit is due. People love to see their name in print.
You will benefit from working with a team. You can work with anyone you know to come up with a great concept and execute it. Anyone who contributes should be given due credit, even if their input was minimal.
Keep YouTube at the forefront of your mind. Start your video marketing campaign here. It gives you free hosting for your videos. YouTube is viewed by more people than most other websites, it has the third highest viewership of any website. It is the second largest search engine, and is by far the most popular place to view videos.
When you are trying to use a video to get people to buy something, make sure you include a link that will take them to a page where they can do so. This link is ideally within the player. When you do this, the link will follow the video regardless of where it is embedded or shared.
People search mostly online for how-to do things. When you create one, you will be able to help people while showcasing your product. People will be more interested in what you are offering if they think of you as an expert.
Whenever you become more knowledgeable about video marketing, you’ll discover all the endless possibilities it entails. You can really beef up your customer list by using video marketing. It lets you connect with your customers and expand your business.
Make a video detailing how to utilize your product correctly. This helps you teach customers how to use your products correctly while showing potential customers how well your products work.

Victorian Cedar Garden Summerhouses
Posted on 26th July 2020 at 11:26
How to determine your perfect Summerhouse
Our bespoke Garden Buildings (Summerhouses) are available in 3 shape/design formats: Hexagonal, Octagonal and Rectangular. All work well when positioned in a planted border against a backdrop of shrubbery, trees, garden boundaries etc. However when and where there is scope & space to position the Summerhouse in a prominent position, the choice of format can significantly add to it being not just a garden feature but a very important and beautiful garden focal point. Therefore the first key decision to make when determining the perfect summerhouse is to choose the shape that best suits your site and space requirements. Next choose the size, for 1 -2 persons we would recommend at least 2.4m (8ft) diameter but 3.0m (10ft) would be more comfortable. The most popular selling sizes are 2.4m, 3.0m and 3.6m (Hexagonal) and 3.6m + (wide) x 1.8m (deep) for the rectangular formats. Larger and/or smaller sizes are possible.
Each building is made to order and therefore this allows us to configure the final specifications to match each individual customer's preferences. Each building will generally contain a mix of 1 set of French double doors (larger structures e.g. 3.0 and 3.6m can have 1 - 2 extra sets of double doors), fixed and opening (usually top hung) windows and solid cedar sections (used to conceal a view, placing near bushes/trees/wall etc). There is also scope for customer to vary the proportions/sizes of glass and cedar panels e.g. 60:40, 50:50 etc. This flexibility also applies to the door glazing. Square leading (outside only) is an optional extra. Other options we can offer include installing electrical power points and internal lighting.

Protein and healthy dieting are two topics you hear together often. Why? Protein is key in creation and maintenance of even the tiniest cells in our body. Protein acts as fuel that keeps our body moving throughout the day. Protein acts as a building block for muscles, bones and skin. Protein comes from the Greek word proteos meaning “first place” or “primary.” Where do you think this falls in importance in your diet?
Did you also know that your hair and nails are mostly made of protein? Stick with me – this gets better. Protein helps repair tissue especially after a hard workout. Lightbulb moment! Bodybuilders ingest protein 20-30 minutes after their workout to help aid and build muscle. Muscles that build are muscles that get big!
Protein is a major player when it comes to weight loss and weight maintenance. Protein helps curb hunger because it fills you up faster. When you add fiber to your protein packed meal, this helps you ease the urge to eat as often. Another major benefit of high protein in your diet is healthy bones! This is especially important for women as the aging process occurs, bone density tends to decrease mostly after menopause. Staying active and eating protein is a great way to prevent osteoporosis.
Raise your hand if you have those late-night cravings for a piece of chocolate or something salty. Don’t worry, I am right there with you raising my hand! Start off your day with a protein packed breakfast like egg cups to help battle those late at night munchies. This will in turn help maintain your weight loss that you have worked so hard for. It is easy to say that protein is important in every aspect of your body, whether it is as small as a cell or as large as your quadriceps muscles. At Real Results, our “Real World” meal plan focuses on high protein, low carb lifestyle. This is successful for those interested in weight loss or weight maintenance. Send us a message today with any questions, we can’t wait for you to join us on this high protein journey! | <urn:uuid:47780d32-d112-4889-97a5-852496f1f93f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.realresultsforlife.com/single-post/2020/05/28/The-Power-of-Protein | 2020-09-26T12:40:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.960105 | 437 |

Okay, maybe “defending” is too strong of a word, but explaining sounded a little too wishy-washy for a title. (So sue me, I like strong titles!)
Obviously I think this sharing method is fair, but just because it works for me, it doesn’t mean you have to do it too.
The main reason why I split everything 50/50 in my relationship, is because of the following reasons:
1. NO ONE FEELS RESENTFUL OF THE OTHER
Say what you will, someone, somewhere in a relationship where they are paying more than 50% will feel a tiny bit of resentment, especially if they’re paying for an extravagant lifestyle that the other is profiting from.
I have been on both sides — being paid for, and paying for someone else, and I resented this expectation that I had to pay for everything deep down inside (even while telling myself and everyone around me that I didn’t).
I resented having to worry about bills, rent, groceries, clearing debt, making sure everything ran smoothly, and most of all, I resented feeling like a mother to an otherwise grown adult.
Looking back, I hated it. So why would I expect someone else to be put in the same position because of me?
Where I got annoyed the most, is where I’d be busting my hump working more than 8-hours a day, and I’d come home to someone who hasn’t even bothered to look for a job to help out because of ..[insert stupid reason here].. and basically spent the day playing video games and doing jack squat.
Does that sound fair to you?
Maybe for guys it’s different — they like feeling like the breadwinner, the MAN, and the provider for their family, but for me, this was a little more than I could stomach.
It’s not that I wanted to be taken care of, but even having someone just pay 50% of the bills would have been nice.
Instead, every time there’d be a suggestion to “order takeout” or to do something fun, I’d feel my hackles rise at the cost because I’d have to pay 100% for it.
Even gifts to me, came out of “our” chequing account (read: my bank account), which meant it wasn’t really a gift to me at all. I just bought it for myself.
Now, while being paid for is nice, the other problem is that then you feel like a slave.
2. NO ONE FEELS LIKE A SLAVE TO THE OTHER
I’ve seen this on so many shows like Princess, Til Debt do us Part, Money Moron, and a whole host of other money-related shows where the person who works outside of the home, either unconsciously or consciously treats the one who works inside the home a bit like a slave.
How it normally plays out is that the one who brings home most of the bacon, tends to treat the other one at home a less than fairly and respectfully.
Even if it’s just $10,000 more in gross pay.
For many people, money equals power.
They feel like they should have more say if they pay more because “cash is king” (or queen).
I see this in relationships of casual acquaintances and friends as well, where this one girl pays maybe 15% in the relationship and her boyfriend pays the other 80%. He doesn’t call her a slave, but he makes her:
- walk, feed & pick up the poop of his dogs (she hates dogs)
- cook for him all the time
- cook fancy celebration dinners for friends he invites over to the house (like us)
- clean everywhere and everything
- run errands
It’s not that she hates the arrangement, I daresay she’s the one that pushed for such a domestic arrangement where she does it willingly because she’s exchanging the equivalent of work in the home for not having to cover the other 35% of the household finances.
She could work and pay 50%, but she doesn’t want to (she’s kind of admitted this, even going to the point of saying that she desperately wants a baby so she can just stop working).
This seems to work for them, and seems fair… until you hear that they had a huge fight over who should put their name on the deed for the house.
See, he fronted 100% of the down payment and also pays the mortgage and pretty much all the bills.
She only pays for her cellphone, the house telephone & TV, and gives him nominal rent as part of the 15%, and as that rent money was going to the mortgage, she wanted her name on the house deed for 50%.
He laughed in her face and told her that he paid the entire down payment, so she’d have to pony up the 15% of THAT, but not only that, she wouldn’t have her name on the mortgage, which means he’d be responsible for 100% of the debt, and have to give up 50% of the house asset if they split?
Huge fight, but eventually it worked out because she gave in and decided she liked her low-key living arrangement too much to leave him. She accepted it and seems happy, but this is not the kind of relationship I want.
MONEY ISN’T EVERYTHING – TASKS ARE SHARED TOO
Those are my two main points why I pay 50/50, don’t feel resentful doing it, don’t think it’s unfair or “roommate-ish”, and am happy to do so.
It isn’t just 50/50 in money that we share either, it’s also 50/50 in household tasks.
For things like gifts or treats, we don’t split it 50/50. It’s a gift or a treat, and it’s given willingly.
Look, it isn’t like I am going to ever tell him to get out (or vice versa) if either of us needs to lean on the other for help, but this arrangement at the very least, eradicates any discussion, resentment or hurt feelings about the other “paying their fair share”.
We just don’t have those problems. | <urn:uuid:fe3d5ebd-04c9-4096-bc6a-c071b9fa4301> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.savespendsplurge.com/defending-why-i-split-everything-as-5050-in-my-relationship/ | 2020-09-26T12:02:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.97133 | 1,364 |
A man was arrested in the Bayview district last Saturday after police found several loaded weapons in his home, where three children also live.
Police detained Daron Raynaldo, 21, of San Francisco, after he exited his home in the 700 block of Missouri Street with his girlfriend and three children, police said.
Officers searched Raynaldo’s home and found a MAC-10 assault weapon, a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and a .22-caliber rifle with a cut-off stock, police said.
All of the weapons were loaded and within arm’s reach of all of the children, according to police.
Raynaldo, a parolee, was booked on suspicion of multiple weapons offenses, a parole violation and child endangerment, police said.
Over the span of 54 hours between Sept. 7 and Monday, Bayview officers made five arrests, including Raynaldo, and confiscated 14 firearms, police said.
The names of the other four people arrested were not immediately available.
Last week, police Chief Greg Suhr said there were no homicides in The City in August. | <urn:uuid:73001bd4-3fc8-4c37-95ce-297270adbb9b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/parolee-allegedly-kept-arsenal-near-kids-at-bayview-home/ | 2020-09-26T13:00:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.979938 | 228 |
Man charged with assaulting officers after parking lot altercations
A Denver man was charged with multiple counts of assault, resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer after he allegedly tried to fight people in the Wendy’s and Safeway parking lots in Fraser while intoxicated.
According to the arrest report, Fraser Winter Park Police officers responded to a call around 5 p.m. Thursday about an intoxicated man yelling at people and throwing his food at them outside Wendy’s in Fraser.
Officers found the man, later identified as Sky Richmond, 26, near Safeway, where he had been trying to hit cars and laying in the road. When officers tried to speak with Richmond behind the Safeway near the Fraser River Trail, Richmond tried running from police before slipping on icy pavement, the report said.
While police were arresting Richmond, he allegedly kicked at the officers, bit one in the thigh and resisted being put in handcuffs. A search of Richmond revealed two empty shooters and a half-empty fifth of vodka.
As officers put Richmond in the patrol car, he allegedly continued to fight and spit at the officers, striking one on the head. Once in the patrol car, Richmond tried to escape by unbuckling his seatbelt, kicking on the car windows and smashing his head up to 10 times on the protection barrier in the car, according to the arrest report.
The officer transporting Richmond then pulled over and called the Grand County Sheriff’s Office and EMS to assess him. The report says it took five officers to move Richmond from the patrol car into the ambulance due to his kicking, which struck at least one officer.
Once in the ambulance, an officer had to hold Richmond down to protect EMS staff. During the entire incident, Richmond allegedly also threatened both police and EMS staff.
Richmond has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault, resisting arrest, obstructing a peace officer, disorderly conduct and harassment.

For those who are only beginning their journey into the exciting world of snow sports, fighting the fear of the slope is a challenge. Simulator-based training is a great way of eliminating that fear from the very first turns (besides its many other advantages).
Safe environment is key here; it’s the reason why SkyTechSport ski and snowboard simulators give a jump-start to every trainee.
How does the machine ensure a 100% safety of training? It’s our unique optical safety system that controls all movements within the motion platform’s perimeter. There are bars with infrared transmitters built into both sides of the platform. Multiple rays that are constantly sent between the two sides of the platform make up a complex mesh covering the entire platform.
Someone’s hand that touches the platform, a bottle of water placed there by an observer, even a ring accidentally falling off a trainee’s finger. The smallest hazard will be detected by the optical system, and it will shut the engines off at once.
The system is sensitive enough to spot a hand's touch, but our engineers made sure it doesn't 'overreact', shutting the drives if a fly gets into the way of a skier. This meticulous balance was a challenge that led to a creation of a safety tool that's both very reliable and convenient to use.
Our trainees very rarely fall on the simulator: they first get used to the machine, which usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes. It’s only after they feel confident that the edges and speed are increased gradually. That said, beginners are usually pleased to see the soft rubber surface of the simulator’s platform, secure nets on both of its sides (we use the same ones that are used at the Olympics on real racetracks!), and a handrail to hold on to in case of loss of balance.

Heartland Financial USA Inc. Chairman and CEO Lynn Fuller said the Dubuque, Iowa-based company continues to evaluate potential acquisition targets.
The combination of a common stock raise completed in November 2016 and the company's rising share prices "increases the likelihood of more M&A announcements to come," Fuller said during a Jan. 30 call to discuss the company's fourth-quarter 2016 results. The company announced a $29.07 million deal for Founders Bancorp in October 2016, and Fuller said the company remains committed to growing to $1 billion or more in assets in each state in which the company operates.
Company executives said they expect the Founders deal will close and be converted during the first quarter of this year.
Heartland reported fourth-quarter 2016 net income available to common stockholders of $19.1 million, or 74 cents per share.
Heartland Executive Vice President and CFO Bryan McKeag said during the call that the company expects loan and deposit growth on a percentage basis in the mid-single digits. Its tax-equivalent net interest margin should be stable but pull back a bit to between 4.05% and 4.10%, he added, though he also said interest rate increases could offset downward pressures.
The finance chief added that the company remains largely focused on deals that can be mostly paid for using the company's appreciating shares. "It makes sense for us to use our currency, given where it's trading," he said. | <urn:uuid:5f88bf11-0250-4c6e-914c-34673335909f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/trending/242pcws7ogddpcln40hg_w2 | 2020-09-26T13:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.964432 | 300 |

I am half way through it. Getting bigger and feeling some movement (sometimes). I always forget from one pregnancy to the other all of the little milestones that happen. So I freak out about not feeling the baby move as much as I think I should feel him. Like I freaked out about the days I didn’t have morning sickness. Like I freaked out about not “feeling pregnant”.
So, according to one of the books, applications or websites I read about pregnancy my baby is the size of an orange. Why they keep choosing to compare the baby to different fruits I will never understand (grape then plum then pair and now orange). My little baby can now smile and frown and hear my lovely voice (which has been mostly yelling at S and J every night for acting like monkeys at bedtime! But that’s another story.)
I am excited and impatient to hold this little baby in my arms. And terrified. I am terrified of the birth. Yes I know, monkeys can do it. (second reference to monkeys so far… hummmm) It’s the uncertainty that scares the hell out of me. If you’ve given birth then you’ll know what I’m talking about. After the pain and the labour and the hours of the same thing over and over when it’s time for the baby to come out it’s that uncertainty. When it’s all, basically, on you to get the baby out. When you start pushing and then they tell you that you HAVE to push NOW. And if you don’t or can’t or are in ridiculous amounts of pain they tell you again if you don’t push now it won’t be a good. The baby is tired, and has had enough and needs to come out. That is the part I hate. At that time so much can go wrong.
I am also anxious about what happens after the baby is born. Between the births of my three children now there are at least 3 years. You can explain a lot to a 3 year old. You can have a 3 year old “help” with the baby. What do you do with a 2 year old? A 2 year old who is right now the center of attention because he’s so damn good at getting it and because he might just be the cutest little boy alive. How do you explain to him that the baby in your tummy is coming out one day? And what do you do about jealousy?
How do I explain a baby to a 2 year old? A baby who is going to share the lime light with him? S was great with J when she was born. Their competition and sibling rivalry showed up when J was old enough to say “I CAN DO IT TOO!”. J was great with B when he was born and did everything she could to help out with him. She is still protective over him and there is been no jealousy between them (so far thank God). Will I be as lucky the 3rd time?
What’s the age difference between your children? Was there a lot of jealousy? | <urn:uuid:73093011-280e-4d75-8286-cf04742b5bbb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://yamaamaa.com/2011/11/20/20-20/ | 2020-09-26T11:10:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.969097 | 657 |
I’ve always said that Spit and Roast buttermilk fried chicken is, quite possibly, the best fried chicken I’ve ever had in the UK. Alan and I had a street food phase were we went to venues where various purveyors of gorgeous street food congregated and indulged our epicurean tendencies.
It was a stroke of luck that I bought a copy of the Sunday Guardian when I did all those years ago, because they shared their recipe for their fried chicken. It certainly felt like I won the lottery! This recipe is inspired by Spit and Roast’s recipe for buttermilk fried chicken.
For the marinade:
- 8 – 12 pcs chicken thighs, deboned but with skin on
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- 2 heaping tsp paprika (I like to use the sweet variety and not the smoked one)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 287ml cups of buttermilk (in a pinch you can use Elmlee, use the single cream variety as it has more buttermilk content
For the dredge:
- 1 heaping tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- 2 heaping tsp paprika
- 200g plain flour
- 200g cornflour
The original Spit and Roast recipe calls for thigh and drumstick pieces. But I’ve found that using deboned thigh pieces makes for easier eating. I also keep the skin on because friend chicken skin is oh-so-delicious and the coating makes it so deliciously crispy! So anyway, here we go
- Debone your thigh pieces (you can use skinless, deboned thigh fillets but it makes for slightly drier fried chicken).
- In a ziplock bag combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Make sure everything is mixed well. I use the ziplock bag because it’s so much easier to massage the chicken pieces through the plastic. But, of course, you can always use a bowl that has a lid. Marinade the chicken for at least 4 hours but overnight always produces best results.
- When you’re ready to cook.the chicken, take the chicken out of the fridge. In a large bowl, combine all the dredge ingredients, making sure everything is well-incorporated.
- Dredge each chicken piece individually, making sure that when dredging you scoop flour onto each piece and they feel dry to the touch. Shake off the excess flour.
- Fried chicken is always best deep fried, but if you don’t have a deep-fat fryer or don’t want to deep fry your chicken, you can always shallow fry the chicken in a deep wok or a big frying pan. Fill the pan with 1 1/2 inch of oil. Spit and Roast suggest oil temperature of 150°C but if you don’t have a heat probe, you can test the heat with a piece of bread. If the piece of bread crackles in the oil, then it’s hot enough.
- Make sure you lay the chicken away from you when putting it in the oil (Safety first!). Fry the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, turning 2 to 3 times to make sure everything is evenly and nicely browned.
If you’re frying a lot of chicken pieces, you can put the chicken pieces on kitchen paper in a pan so the excess oil is absorbed and put it in an oven preheated to 100°C to keep them warm and the s
I serve my fried chicken with gravy, coleslaw and cornbread.

Empathy is getting a lot of critical attention now, Paul Bloom from Yale has given several talks on the topic, where is tagline is: “I am against it”.. his argument is that empathy is in part sympathy, and together with the fact that we have more sympathy for those closer to us than distant, it can cause us to make bad judgements and decisions. (For example, why do we care more about one girl how has been harmed in our neighborhood, than the plight of thousands of girls fleeing their homes in Syria?)
He argues it nicely in the Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/09/the-violence-of-empathy/407155/
See also a video presentation at: http://www.aspenideas.org/session/empathy-it-all-its-cracked-be
Similarly, in their research, Messrs. Galinxy, Maddux, Gilin and White showed the benefit of taking the other persons perspective, rather than empathizing with them in bargaining situations, a finding that also held true for the task of finding mutually beneficial, but hidden solutions in a bargaining situation
Why this backlash? Possibly as a reaction a previous rise of empathetic leadership, and focus on empathy; such as that presented by Simon Sinek in his 2014 book: “Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t”. His impact can be surmised from the fact that his two TED talks have been seen 24 and 4 Million time respectively.
A summary of this perspective can be found at: http://www.success.com/article/why-the-empathetic-leader-is-the-best-leader

It is estimated that there are around 9 million cats in the uk and they have recently overtaken dogs as the most popular pet, however this has not always been the case.
During the last thousand years the cat in the uk has had a varied relationship with man. In 948AD, during the reign of Howell the Good, King of Wales, cats were scarce and considered to be very valuble. From birth until its eyes opened, a kitten was worth one penny; from then on until it killed a mouse, 2 pennies; and once it had been established as a mouser it was worth 4 pennies; this was a substantial amount of money in those days.
Three hundred years later, it was a completely different story though. in the 13th century, Pope Gregory IX declared that cats were diabolical – this led to the extermination of many. Woman who owned them were considered witches and were dealt with in a similar fashion!
When bubonic plague hit the UK, cats were again in favour as thier value as rat catchers were recognised, however during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth 1 and Queen Mary, they were again persecuted. When Charles the 1st came to the throne in the 17th century, cats were considerd to bring good fortune, the king carried a cat every where with him and on the day after his cat died he was arrested and subsequently beheaded by Oliver Cromwell.
Would a cat be the right pet for you?
Although more independant than dogs, cats still require plenty of care and attention. They are great company and are normally happy to be left on their own throughout the day so make great pets for working people. Busy roads and cats do not mix – many are killed or seriously injured on the roads every day, so consider this carefully before getting a cat, they do roam and have very little road sense. You could consider a house cat however you would need to get one who is either used to being indoors or a kitten that has never been out. If a cat has always been allowed out in the past, it will struggle to adapt to a life indoors.
If you decide that a cat is the right pet for you, the next step is to find one. If you feel that you would prefer a kitten, there are usually adverts in the local papers or on pets for sale boards in pet stores during kitten season. Rescue centres are usually full of cats needing homes – why not consider an older cat, these unfortunatly are often overlooked as they do not seem as appealing as a kitten. | <urn:uuid:201c1cb7-50e5-4f12-b016-9b484edb4541> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://blog.justforpetstores.co.uk/pet-care/caring-for-my-cat/ | 2020-09-27T20:40:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.991829 | 525 |

A virtual or a dedicated server is a standalone machine, which has its own Operating System and keeping the latter up-to-date is an essential, although underestimated task. Not only can an update improve the functionality of your websites, but it will also save you a lot of troubles later on. An update may be released for a variety of reasons, the most prevalent being to fix newly discovered security holes, which may allow third-party people to access and modify the content that you have on the hosting server. You might also see an improved efficiency of your web programs because updates could also be released for better compatibility between the Os and the configuration it operates on in order to get the most out of the hardware. Also, if you keep your apps up-to-date, they could need a later OS version that will have the needed software dependencies and will permit them to operate properly. | <urn:uuid:b1c19b3f-b640-4c60-ba38-71bf040a87c7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://rdnetcorp.net/terminology/weekly-os-update/ | 2020-09-27T20:21:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.962516 | 177 |

Tumbled travertine tiles are a stunning addition to a home. The light texture in them creates a soft, muted finish that works beautifully in larger areas, and the texture also makes them a safer choice for areas that will be wet. They are easy to install and care for, and they can be used throughout the home. Here are a few ways you can use travertine to delight your customers.
Tumbled Tiles for a Safer Powder Room
People often choose high polish tiles for the bathroom, but these aren’t the safest choice. Tumbled tiles have a slight texture to them that provides you with a little more grip. You are not as likely to slip on them, so they are a fantastic choice for shower floors and even the main floor in the bathroom. When you choose tumbles travertine, you won’t have to put a non-slip rug on the floor. This makes the bathroom look larger and more sophisticated. Used on the shower floor, you won’t have to worry about family members slipping in the shower, and you won’t have to mar the beautiful appearance with special grips or shower mats.If you love a rustic or historic look, then consider adding travertine to the shower walls. The slightly rough texture and natural variations in the stones add interest to the shower and make it stand out. Add a border of tile with a glossy finish to make the travertine stand out more and create a little more visual interest in the room.You can also choose soap shelves, shower seats and other accessories made from beautiful travertine. They look amazing in the shower, and the light texture ensures that items remain in place even when the shelves become a little wet. When working on a bathroom renovation, encourage your customers to consider travertine tiles for their visual appeal, durability and safety.
A Top Choice for People with Limited Mobility
If you have people in the home with limited mobility, tumbled travertine is an excellent choice. Wheelchairs easily roll over it, but the texture prevents it from becoming slippery when wet. In addition to using this tile in the bathroom, you may also want to add it to the kitchen and the foyer. These areas also become wet, and the tumbled travertine will make them safer for people with wheelchairs or walkers. Keep this information in mind when working on design jobs or renovations for group homes, mother-in-law apartments and assisted living facilities.
Covering the Pool Deck
Rough concrete is the industry standard for pool decks, but you want something more attractive around your home. Your pool is a major investment, and you want it to look incredible. Tumbled travertine is a sophisticated choice. The travertine tiles will not be harmed by the water, and it will stay cool under your feet even when the temperature warms up. Water drains away easily from the tiles, and the texturing prevents them from becoming slippery. A luxurious choice for the patio, it makes your outdoor pool look like it belongs indoors. These tiles are an excellent choice for individual homeowners, spas, resorts and hotels.
Kitchen Backsplash that’s Stylish and Elegant
Ceramic tiles usually have a glossy finish, but tumbled travertine has a soft, muted look that you are sure to love. The colors show through without taking attention away from your stunning cabinets or other fixtures. A beautiful choice that’s easy to clean and care for, it adds style to this space without being overwhelming. If you have a client who loves to cook and wants a kitchen worthy of the finest restaurants, strongly recommend the addition of a travertine backsplash.
Covering the Fireplace
Tiles are a great choice for covering any fireplace because they are durable and easy to clean. If you want the ease of tiles without the glossy finish or a high polish look, then consider tumbled travertine. The natural color will blend nicely with any neutral décor, yet the stones add enough interest to the fireplace to still make a statement. Installed on the fireplace facing and hearth, they are a durable choice that works beautifully on the fireplace for a sophisticated yet slightly rugged look.
The Safest Entryway
Mudrooms are usually a hazardous area as water is tracked in and mud falls off shoes. It’s vital to choose a floor covering that will be easy to clean, but you also want one that is safe for your children to walk on when it’s a little wet. With tumbled travertine, you will have everything you are searched for. The beautiful color adds style to this area, and the texture prevents people from slipping. At the same time, the tiles are easy to clean. With a mop and a little water, you can polish the floor and remove all traces of mud and grime to keep the entryway or mudroom clean. It’s an excellent choice for private homes, schools, retail stores and other establishments that see a great deal of foot traffic.
The Garden Path
If your outdoor living space incorporates grassy areas that you need to walk through, then add some tumbled travertine pavers. They provide you with secure footing when you walk through the yard, and your guests will be encouraged to stay off the grass. The tiles look incredible surrounded by soft, green grass. They add an elegant touch to the yard, and they help ensure that your guests are safe by providing people with a stable, level walking surface. Business owners will appreciate how this reduces their liability by making customers safer.
Windowsills and Thresholds
Tumbled travertine is also an excellent choice for windowsills and door thresholds. Able to withstand the moisture that doors and windows are subjected to, they are an elegant addition to any room. Stone windowsills are easy to clean, and they are a marvelous departure from traditional wood that must be repainted and is prone to rot. They are a great choice for homebuilders and contractors alike.
The Low-Maintenance Patio
Wood decks are the standard, and concrete patios are a smart choice if you don’t want the maintenance of wood. However, travertine and other natural stones are the best choice. Tumbled travertine is safe to use outside, and you can cover your entire patio with these sophisticated natural stones. They add color and style to the area, along with a smooth surface that is safe to walk on when wet. Perhaps the best feature is that they require very little maintenance beyond being sealed every year to avoid staining. You can sweep them off, rinse them with the garden hose and your patio is ready for entertaining friends. This makes them an ideal choice for sidewalk cafes and other outdoor dining areas where the tiles will have to be cleaned regularly.

Beginning with Jacob in the Old Testament, the ladder has been used as a picture of human transformation. This metaphor is helpful, as we have seen applying it to the Beatitudes. It is helpful in that it enables us to focus on one spiritual struggle at a time instead of continually feeling overwhelmed with the enormity of the task: total transformation into the image of Christ. When we become overwhelmed, we give up. We feel as though there were nothing that we can do to cooperate with our own salvation. Looking at our spiritual journey as a series of steps, we find a specific place to begin when we are confronted with the commands of Christ and the seeming impossibility of fully living them out in our lives. Furthermore, the ladder metaphor helps us recognize movements and changes in our spiritual lives. We are not surprised by seasons of Grace, of shifts in the focus of our spiritual labor. However, viewing spiritual life as an ascent up a ladder does have a downside.When we view our spiritual life as a ladder, it is possible to become too self conscious of our spiritual life, as though we could actually gage “where” we are on the ladder of spiritual ascent. While there may be many sins and distractions that may keep us from climbing the ladder of the Beatitudes, the one sin that will most certainly cause us to fall from the ladder is pride. Pride is a subtle sin. Theft, fornication or murder, for example, are manifest outside of us and are consequently much more easily recognizable—although many a man and woman has so justified their actions to themselves that even externally manifest sins are not recognized. But pride is a thousand times more difficult to recognize, for pride is nothing more than a perspective, a way of viewing oneself and the universe. In fact, you might even say that pride is viewing oneself. It is the ultimate delusion. When we imagine that we can look at ourselves “objectively,” we are most deceived. We are creatures. We are finite. We do not have the ability to escape ourselves to stand outside ourselves and evaluate ourselves. Yes, we can see some things. I can see what I have done, but I never know all of the reasons—conscious and subconscious—why I do the things I do. I can see, for example, that I became angry when someone suddenly cut into my lane on the freeway without signaling. But why it makes me angry, why I think it is okay to get angry, and what the mental-emotional processes are by which this takes place, all of this is subconscious. And not only do I know very little about why I do what I do, I generally see very little of what I do; or I see only of myself what I want to see. One of the reasons why we need community is that it is only in the reactions and responses of others that we are able to see some of the uglier bits of ourselves, bits that we would rather imagine do not exist. And, to extend this matter a little further, if I know only some of the reasons why I do what I do, I know even less (generally much, much less) why others do what they do. When I begin to think I know why others do what they do or when I begin to think that I can judge myself (for example, where I am in my spiritual journey), then I can be pretty certain that I have fallen off the ladder completely. (Warning: There may be times when I can be pretty sure that I have fallen off the ladder, but I can never judge the spiritual state of another.)God has created us to keep our focus on Him, not ourselves. To use the words of the book of Hebrews, when we “look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,” we are able to run the course of our life with endurance. We grow by looking at Christ, not ourselves. Children are wonderful examples of freedom from self-consciousness. Children do not notice themselves growing up. In this way we too must become like children if we are going to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.You might be thinking right about now that falling off the ladder of the Beatitudes is very common. If pride knocks us off the ladder, perhaps you are even wondering if you have ever really climbed the ladder at all. Good. The first rung on the ladder is humility, poverty of spirit. To admit that you have fallen off the ladder, or that perhaps you have never really climbed the ladder at all, is to begin climbing the ladder again. Remember, we never leave the first step even as we climb to higher steps. “A broken and contrite heart” is the foundation of all righteousness, all mercy, all purity of heart. In a sense, the daily death, the daily taking up of our cross and following Christ is the daily (sometimes moment by moment) acknowledgment of our failure. The Christian life is a life of falling down and getting back up again, day by day and moment by moment. | <urn:uuid:911654a0-63c5-4454-b621-5180dd1e9def> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blogs.ancientfaith.com/prayingintherain/2009/12/falling-off-ladder/ | 2020-09-27T21:00:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.970606 | 1,024 |
WARNING: These notes contain major spoilers for the TV series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. If you haven’t already seen the series these notes will not make sense to you and will tend to spoil your enjoyment if you watch the series later.
UPDATED 12/02/09: Added information from the new episodes in the 2009 rebroadcast.
Question: What the Heck is Going on Here?
There are a number of competing theories, some combination of which may be true.
Theory 0: Haruhi suffers from Bipolar Disorder.
That’s obviously true at some level, but it doesn’t explain much. Such people don’t really have a “reality distortion field”.
Theory 1: Haruhi has the power to create data.
The components of the Data Integration Thought Entity have the power to manipulate “data.” For the Entity the word “data” subsumes our concepts of “matter”, “energy”, “space” and “time.” However the Entity cannot create “data.”
Three years ago Haruhi created an explosion of new “data.” This attracted the attention of the Entity which has been studying her ever since.
Theory 2: Haruhi has the power to distort time.
Three years ago Haruhi caused a “time quake.” This created a “time fault” which prevents the people of Mikuru’s civilization from traveling any farther into the past. They are studying Haruhi hoping to learn how she did it, and if possible how to repair the damage.
Theory 3: Haruhi created the Universe and everything in it three years ago.
To put it bluntly, God, after billions of years of loneliness and boredom, has finally become insane and retreated into the delusion that she is a depressed Japanese high school student. This theory has great explanatory power. For example, the reason that Mikuru’s people can’t travel any farther into the past is that there is no past beyond that point.
Haruhi constantly says that she wants things to be “fun,” but she actually uses the word “omoshiroi” or “interesting.” For an omnipotent and omniscient being nothing can ever be really interesting. The trap Haruhi is in is that if she ever allows herself to realize that the Universe is her own creation, it will immediately lose the power to interest her.
So Haruhi sticks with the delusion that reality is fixed and that she cannot change it. But that’s a trap too. She needs things to be really interesting, and the life of a Japanese teenager just isn’t interesting enough. So she constantly pushes at the boundaries of reality, then backs away when they threaten to break and reveal the truth.
One possible counter-argument is that even if Haruhi did create the Universe, she probably didn’t create it from scratch three years ago.
Just before the climax, Haruhi describes the first time that she became depressed. This was when she was in elementary school, i.e. more than three years ago. So if she created the Universe three years ago, she created one in which she was already depressed. This doesn’t make much sense, though of course the ways of the Lord are mysterious…
Theory 4: Haruhi is a red herring.
This theory is never proposed by any of the characters, but several fans have suggested it and there is internal evidence to support it. Theory 4 is very much like Theory 3, except in this case the real “sleeping god” is Kyon, and Haruhi is just a demiurge that he unconsciously created. Consider:
- Kyon complains constantly, but he actually is having the time of his life. His life is certainly interesting.
- It is Kyon, much more than Haruhi, who gets his wishes and fantasies fulfilled.
- When Shamisen speaks he pretty much just states out loud what Kyon was thinking a few moments earlier.
- When an annoyed Haruhi throws a handful of grass at Kyon, the wind blows it back in her face.
Clearly if God is going to be deluded, Kyon is a more profitable delusion than Haruhi.
On the other hand, everything here can be explained in other ways. It may be that Kyon is getting his fantasies fulfilled because Haruhi is secretly in love with him and wants him to stick around.
One problem with Theory 4 is that it is hard to see the significance of the event three years ago. It has no special meaning to Kyon. (Yet.)
I personally find this this theory a bit distasteful. Kyon is the viewpoint character, the character we identify with. I would prefer to think of him as the hero, struggling to save the Universe from a mad god (while also struggling with his own attraction to her). According to Theory 4, he is actually a deluded troublemaker who is unconsciously causing the whole mess.
UPDATE: “Endless Eight” shifts the balance strongly in favor of Theory 4. It’s the only theory under which the ending really makes sense.
Question: What Really Happened Three Years Ago?
This is never clearly spelled out, but it definitely involved Haruhi drawing the mysterious symbols on the quadrangle of the middle school.
My best guess is that at that point she scrapped the previous universe and created a new one that was similar but included aliens, time travelers and espers.
Question: In the “Movie”, Why Does Yuki Physically Attack Mikuru?
That does seem out of character, doesn’t it? The full explanation is spelled out in The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya, but it can be inferred by closely watching the anime.
During the filming Ultra Director Haruhi forced Mikuru to wear a single blue contact lens to make her look more exotic. While staging the first fight between Yuki and Mikuru, Haruhi ordered Mikuru to shoot a laser beam at Yuki.
Kyon quickly interjected “You mean pretend to shoot a laser beam…,” but it was too late. In her enthusiasm Haruhi had accidentally altered the laws of physics, making it possible for a girl wearing a single colored contact lens to shoot a laser beam out of her eye.
Of course Mikuru didn’t know how to control the beam and almost killed Kyon when she glanced at the camera. Yuki quickly ran forward, knocked Mikuru to the ground, and forcibly removed the contact lens. Yuki suffered severe burns on her hand, but fortunately she was able to restore herself from a recent backup.
Question: Why Does Shamisen Talk During the Movie?
Because at one point Ultra Director Haruhi said that a witch’s cat ought to be able to talk…
Question: Why Does Kyon Make Haruhi Repeat the Disclaimer at the End of the Movie?
His goal is to make her repeat “the events in this movie are fiction” until she believes it herself, thus restoring the laws of nature to their previous state.
Question: During the First Conversation, Why Does Haruhi Ask Kyon if They Have Met Before?
This is answered in Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, which
will probably be included if there is a was included in the second season of the anime. | <urn:uuid:076e3088-a07f-4c8b-a43c-cef972df06cb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bugfox.net/fun/notes-on-anime/spoiler-notes-for-haruhi-suzumiya/ | 2020-09-27T19:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.965525 | 1,586 |

Planning a RTW trip for a year is something that one can never spend enough time doing. No matter how long you plan and how much research is done, there’s always unplanned incidents which that can throw a huge wrench into any well thought out itinerary. My only advise is to have two things. A really good optimistic sense of humor and strong will to forge ahead after something didn’t go as plan because it will happen. Unplanned events and Force-majeure, aka acts outside of human control, may include those pesky local holidays that your trusty LP guide never seems to give the heads up about, forces of nature or just the weather, locals or people dressed in military gear (official, unofficial or somewhere in-between) taking over the government, protests which turn bloody mad, and a let dramatic and continuing tanking of the USD greenback. Let’s just say things got expensive real fast and we won’t even talk about the rise in food prices. Well, may I just say a few words because it’s happening again. The NYTimes featured an article about the U.N. addressing the rise of food costs. This is a big heads up to people traveling overseas. Developing nations will be hit the hardest. The Philippines seem to be fine for now since corruption took care of that according to Bloomberg.com.
One of the things that can be planned which will hopefully offset some of the unfortunate incidents along the way is where the end of the line will be. How can you make a nice ending to a long journey? This is where the Seychelles comes in. It’s an expensive destination compared to most but it’s a once in a lifetime experience given it’s locale and limited access. Flying from JFK in NYC to Mahe International in a single trip cost about $2000/person and the shortest trip is 20 hours. Flights also don’t go everyday. The added advantage of going here on a RTW trip is that you can include it on one of the many RTW package deals if you are a savvy traveler. I would also consider transiting through Madagascar and as well as Mauritius while you are in the neighborhood. It’s much less expensive now, both amazing islands full of good food and natural wonders, and very safe despite what the media reports, but I do recommend checking out the U.S. and the U.K.‘s excellent travel advisory reports before booking. in Madagascar and do yourself a favor and look into a private car to take you around when you get there since public transport, as adventurous as it seems, just takes time away from buying vanilla beans ( to freshen up the backpack) and spending time checking out the lemurs and baobab ave.
The one thing shortcoming about the Seychelles is the currency situation. There are plenty of illegal money changers in the center of Mahe but the Seychellois Rupee can only be used by locals. The Seychellois rupee which is right now .083 to the USD but it doesn’t matter because everything from postcards to the crappy vegetarian pizza is priced in euro. The Seychelles are amazing and worth every Euro just need to use them wisely. The bus is 5 rupees to get anywhere like the big supermarket in town which has a good assortment of goods available for reasonable prices. The bus will also take you to the airport so you don’t have to pay NYC prices for a cab.
The Seychelles is a place where everything is just right. It’s relaxed, people are genuinely friendly and enjoy life. We also didn’t know when we would be in this neck of the world again so why not blow the rest of our budget. The family run hotel called Daniella’s Bungalow’s we stayed in was a bargain (100 Euro/night including breakfast) It’s located down the street from most of the nicest properties on Mahe like the oceanfront Le Meridian which was going for $300+ Euro. It wasn’t oceanfront but it was good enough for Keanu who jogged past my husband and I as we lugged out backpacks from the bus stop to Daniella’s after a bumpy flight from Mauritius. Daniella’s didn’t have an oceanfront location but it was a 2 minute walk from a deserted beautiful local stretch of beach.
Where ever the RTW world trail ends make sure it ends on the best note possibly because it will be the last taste you will have of absolute freedom. Being somewhere like the Seychelles makes all of those missed destinations, unfortunate encounters with dubious others, injuries and other unpleasant events disappear with the ocean tides of the sapphire blue lagoon. For the last days of the sojourn it will be only you and the guy that runs the unofficial shuttle boat Keanu probably used going back and forth from the Le Meridian. | <urn:uuid:77d637c9-4c30-4d82-9d30-d04b330f93a0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://farflungistan.com/2011/01/14/the-great-rtw-trip-where-to-end-it/ | 2020-09-27T18:56:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.956677 | 1,041 |

Healthy Christmas Gifts Ideas for Vegans
Boxes and baskets full of delicious treats are a timeless holiday tradition and a thoughtful way of letting someone know you care. And with Christmas right around the corner, they’re also a great choice for those hard-to-shop-for individuals on your list. This year, give your loved one a gift that is nutritious, delicious, and the perfect way to start the new year.
Check out some of these healthy Christmas gifts that are perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike.
You may have seen at-home grow kits for herbs, but what about for sprouting seeds? Even for those loved ones without a green thumb, growing seeds and legumes from home guarantees that you will always have what you need when you need it. Plus, you know that it’s free from pesticides and other chemicals.
Each kit contains 100% organic, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, raw seeds, and sprouts. Broccoli, alfalfa, radish, mung, and clover are all nutrient-dense and highly versatile ingredients that will spruce up any dish.
Sprouting kits are small enough for the most compact of spaces, and are one of the easiest things to grow inside. It requires no special equipment or even a sunny window. Sprouting vegetables also contain plenty of nutrients to promote digestion, thanks to their rich fibre levels. And, these veggies are something that grows any time of the year!
If your loved one prefers cooking over baking, these ingredients work just as well in any number of dishes and beverages, including cocktails! You don’t have to be vegetarian or vegan to appreciate wholesome nutrition that comes from kits like this one!
For more vegan-friendly ingredients, be sure to check out the organic flours gift box, which comes with barley, buckwheat, Kamut, millet, and whole spelt flours.
If you have a friend or loved one who loves running but already has all the gadgets and equipment, this gift box is a great idea. This gift box includes five uniquely balanced products: organic acai berry and spirulina powders, raw nuts and berries, pumpkin and chia seeds, and even pumpkin seed protein powder.
These foods are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to power through physical exertion and support more effective training. For those with an active lifestyle, this gift box is a great choice.
A significant number of adults do not consume enough omega-3s, which are crucial for lowering and managing blood pressure and heart health. Since omega-3s are found primarily in fish and seafood, it can be difficult for vegans to ensure they get enough of this vital nutrient.
Luckily, there are other sources of omega-3s that are vegan-friendly and portable for easy, on-the-go snacking. This box contains sunflower, pumpkin, Chinese hemp, chia, and golden flaxseeds. Not only are these ingredients rich in omega-3s but also have other compounds that vegans may not get enough of, including zinc, phosphorous, copper, and more.
During the winter, it’s common to feel sluggish and tired because of the limited sunlight. However, this gift box is the perfect idea for those on your list who need a healthy pick-me-up. Skip the artificial energy drinks and sugary lattes and opt for organic brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashews.
These nuts have the right balance of healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants that will keep you feeling fuller so you can fight those post-Christmas leftover cravings and stick to that resolution.
There is a vast selection of powders, and each one has its own health benefits. We have included powders that not only taste great but have as much nutrition as flavor: acai, goji, sacha inchi, maca, and mesquite. Each powder is packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that make meeting your nutritional needs a breeze.

Twitter The Chail cricket stadium Of Himachal Pradesh is the highest cricket ground in the world Built in after leveling a hilltop, this cricket pitch is meters above sea level. Built by Maharaja of Patiala Bhupinder Singh, who developed Chail as his summer capital, the ground was used to play friendly matches by him. It was later transferred to the military school. Chail is a hill station, 49 km from Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. It led to the restriction of his entry into the summer capital, Shimla. This incensed the Maharaja and he vowed to build a new summer capital for himself.

The Hubby has been fortunate in his travels, both domestic and international, to discover and sample delectable cheeses. On occasion, he has been able to bring these newfound cheesy treasures back home to me. As those who have travelled with cheese know, this can come at great odoriferous expense to one’s fellow passengers. Such was the case after The Hubby’s first visit to Blackberry Farms in the heart of Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains a few years back. He surprised me with a wheel of Trefoil; a pasteurized sheep milk cheese with a funky, hand washed rind. Failing to mention he would be traveling by air, he packed his suitcase with the loosely wrapped, stinky cheese. His fellow travelers were not feeling so thanking him for the lovely gift even though I did. Remembering his malodorous experience from the past, The Hubby requested everything be wrapped up extra tight for the trip home this time. His luggage and I appreciated his gifts all the more for it.

It’s December 15th, which means ten days until Christmas (it also means Psych: the Musical is on tonight at 9pm on the USA Network, but that’s a whole different kind of cheese and I digress) so shopping for that cheese lover just kicked in to overdrive. Have no fear, because The House Mouse is here with Cheesy Gift Guide #3 which has some pretty cool gadgets. As most readers know, I prefer to shop local, keeping dollars within the community, however time is of the essence so I will be including prices and links here to sites that have expedited shipping, although I make no promises for holiday miracles. Should timing become an issue, I suggest a House Mouse tradition of placing a picture of the gift inside a box and then putting that box inside another box and so on and so on and so on. Include a note letting the recipient know their gift is en route to their home, which may be appreciated even more if the gadget is particularly large or heavy. And away we go!
Happy National Cheese Lovers Day! Last year, The Mouse was pleasantly surprised to discover that there was a holiday just for fromagephiles to pay homage to the blessed curd. A full twenty-four hours to bask in the glow of some Basque or any cheese of choice. So, what’s a cheese lover to do when upon opening the refrigerator door on National Cheese Lovers Day and finds that the cheese safe is bare? Fear not, for The Mouse has a brief list of shops to help restock for the celebration. Continue reading

An iconic early photos of one of our nation’s military men depicts a war-ridden soldier smirking at the camera with a cigarette dangling precariously from his lips. Soldiers like our tobacco-toting friend were the heroes of their day, America’s role models and protectors.
Fast-forward a couple of decades and the world’s view of smoking has changed dramatically. As it’s no longer cool to take that drag of smoke, soldiers have evidently turned to a new addiction – cheese! According to the government’s Defense Commissary Agency, cheese wedged out cigarettes by over one million dollars in sales over the past year, making it the number one item sold in military commissaries. Why the turn from smokes to Stilton? Good question.
For more on this cheesy victory, check out the article from Karen Jowers of the Navy Times here.
Like most American kids, I grew up on good ol’ Kraft American cheese. In fact, for the first few years of my life it was pretty much all I ate on a regular basis. I would fold it into tiny squares and eat each section one at a time or nibble around the edges, working my way in. It was fun, tasted great, and no worries about cutting myself with a knife thanks to those individual plastic wrappers.
Unfortunately, it turns out I may not have been eating cheese after all! Mind-blowing, I know! the following video is an informative (and pretty funny) tell-all on America’s most popular cheese….product.
Thanks to Culture Magazine for bringing this to my attention. Stay Cheesy!
Just a quick note to let everyone know about the new episode of “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” on cable’s Food Network. It’s all about cheese! Chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli talks about a cheese souffle made at La Goulue Bal Harbour in Bal Harbour. Florida that looks just sinful. I just want to hop a plane south right now! Tune in January 19th at 9:30 or check local listings repeat showings.

Sowing • Watering • Reaping: It Takes More than One!
The Greatest Words This Daddy Could Hear!
It’s been along few weeks with work, ministry and family. I was tried. It was a Monday night shortly after 10:30 pm and I was ready for bed. The girls were still up watching TV due to the fact that its summer break. I had given the girls their good night hugs and kisses and told them that I loved them then I crawled into bed. I was just about to close my eyes when I heard my oldest daughter, Caitlyn, say, “Daddy” as she walked into our bedroom. Honestly, I wasn’t happy about this interruption. I wanted to tell her that whatever she wanted it could wait till tomorrow since I had to get up early for work. However, I didn’t. I rolled over and said to her: “What is it baby girl?” That is when I heard Caitlyn say: “I want to become a Christian.” I sat up immediately and said: “You do?” to which she replied “yes sir.” So we sat on the bed and talked about what it meant for her to become a Christian. After sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ for about 20 minutes with Caitlyn, I asked her to tell me once again what we talked about. I wanted to make sure she understood the decision she was about to make because it is the most important decision in her life! That’s when my beautiful wife, Holly, looked at me and said: “Jacob, she gets it.” See, over the past 8 years I have learned to listen to my wife in times like these. Holly has a very discerning spirit about her. I told Caitlyn what she needed to pray and that I would help guide her through her prayer. So with that, my sweet little baby girl took her momma’s hand and one of mine while Holly and I held Megan’s (Caitlyn’s 4 year old sister) hands as she bowed her little head and prayed. Caitlyn confessed with her mouth that Jesus is Lord, she believed in her heart that God raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 10:9) and asked Christ to forgive her of her sins so that she could be cleansed of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). When she prayed these things, according to Scripture, she was SAVED! It was such a joyous time and we all had tears in our eyes! I didn’t care how late it had gotten. It could have been 2 AM and I would have been wide awake, my baby girl had just became a child of the Living God! I could not have been more proud of Caity Grace for making Jesus her Lord and Savior! It was a very special moment in this daddy’s life! One that I have been praying about for 7 years and 2 days!
What a blessing for this daddy! Unfortunately, not every daddy has the opportunity of leading their child to the Lord. I consider myself very lucky to have shared in this special time with Caitlyn. However, I am not the only player in her story. While I had the opportunity to lead her to Christ, I know that I am not the one who saved her. The Lord God is the one who saved her because our Heavenly Father is the Lord of the Harvest (Luke 10:2). The Scripture also talks about different people who sow, water and reap the seed of the Gospel (1 Cor. 3:6&7). Just as the Scripture says, there are many people that played a part of Caitlyn’s salvation story that have sown and watered the seed of the gospel in her life! Her salvation story has been over several seasons of her life. For example, Monday night was not first time that Caitlyn has come to us about becoming a Christian. She has come to us a couple of times over the past year and we talked to her about salvation but we didn’t feel she was completely ready to make this kind of decision. So we would tell her that we would talk about it later and she never brought it back up. We didn’t want to push the issue with her. Holly and I wanted it to be in God’s timing. However, during those times, Holly and I were watering the seeds that we planted long ago. We started telling both our girls about what Jesus did for us on the Cross when they were both really young. So they have heard the Gospel from within our home. Then with me being a pastor, and church is not an option for them, they have also heard it at church. They hear the gospel being taught from their teachers in their Sunday school class and in Little Lambs. There has been all of those who have taught the different VBS’s over the years, they are a part of her story too. Many of our friends and family members have shared Christ’s love with Caitlyn over the past 7 years. They all have played a part in her story! All of them will be rewarded in heaven one day! Remember, God uses more than one person to fulfill someone’s salvation story! Just rejoice when you are a part of someone’s story!
I want to just thank each of those who have had a part in Caitlyn’s salvation story!! I want to give a special thanks to two very special people: Caity’s Grammy (Joannie Phelps) for always sharing Christ’s love with her and her Granny (my Grandma) for always praying for this day! I know there are more people who have shared Christ love with Caitlyn and I don’t want to miss any of you! However, Christ knows who has been a part of Caitlyn’s salvation story and I am eternally grateful for each one of you. The one that I am most thankful for is my Heavenly Father who made it possible for us be redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ through the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I would love to hear your story! If you are a believer in Christ Jesus, how did you come to know Him as your Savior? | <urn:uuid:9961eddf-5e99-439c-8d0d-3ae2d21d8802> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://jacobricker.com/2015/06/10/takes-more-than-one/ | 2020-09-27T19:05:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.989935 | 1,298 |
As a musician myself, I have things I want to do with music. There are sounds and methods I want to use in songs. In Taylor’s Reputation, she used these things in her songs and it hits me so much because it’s what i’ve always wanted to do.
i’m also so proud of her. It sounds like she took some inspiration from Jon Bellion (at least I tell myself that). She experimented with her sound, especially her own voice. Auto tune and just changing her voice, manipulating it and fitting it into songs is so creative. I love it. It makes me so excited. It hits me and means so much to me. I can’t do it, so Taylor does it for me.
At the secret session, Taylor addressed it and how you can take a voice and split it into chords to play with, even Jack said “I loved making her voice into an instrument”.
THIS is why Reputation is now my favorite album. It surpassed Speak Now because of this. Speak Now will always have a special place in my heart, but Reputation is now Taylor’s best album.
I want Taylor, Jack, Max Martin, and Shellback all to know that every little detail they made -I hear them. I hear all of the small things included to fully create the song. I appreciate it so much. This is what I love from artists.
Her metaphors throughout the entire album are so consistent and strong, they make me so proud. She’s telling a story so cohesively.
All of the songs I list are the ones that are monumental to me and resemble music I want to make.
1.) End Game – I want to make a song with a deep, strong bass and a massive chorus. This song starts with such a big entrance. The lyrics “I don’t wanna touch you. I don’t wanna be just another ex-love you don’t wanna see. I don’t wanna miss you, like the other girls do” Taylor knows her worth and she isn’t here to be playing games with little boys. Strong back up vocals in the last play of the chorus is a usual thing Taylor but I just love it so much in this song.
2.) I Did Something Bad – the gun shots. Enough said. The lead up to the chorus with the timed clapping. I applaud. The “Ratatatatatada” in the chorus. THIS MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM AND JUMP FOR JOY. LOOK AT MY LIL BABY EXPERIMENTING WITH SOUNDS LIKE JON BELLION. The bridge includes the the voice change as well. The clapping shows up again when she says “light me up”. I want to use clapping in my music haha. She sounds so passionate and sassy, you can feel it.
3.) Don’t Blame Me – the gospel, beautiful. The pulling in the track. That sound. I need it. It follows throughout the whole song and it makes me the happiest person ever. When she yells “OH!” in the bridge. When it’s only her voice and it sounds like a gospel, then her high note comes in to take over.
4.) Delicate – the intro with her voice, they manipulated it!!!! My Jon Bellion heart is in love. The lyrics of this song just kill me: “Is it cool that I said all that? Is it chill that you’re in my head? Cause I know that it’s delicate”. The lyrics and the way she sings so softly literally screams DELICATE. In the background singing “Cause I like you”, so soft and enchanting, giving it a sweet and innocent feel.
5.) So It Goes… – when she says “pieces fall right into place” and the four taps follow it. Taylor and Jack seemed so proud of that little detail. When she says “who’s counting?” and whispers “1. 2. 3.” I’ve always wanted to count in a song.
6.) Getaway Car – the first line that opens up the song is her voice being manipulated. This song really reminds me of Jack’s own personal music. The track reminds me of Bleachers. The strings she uses in the bridge are so beautiful and soft.
7.) King Of My Heart – the snapping. I want snaps in my music, thanks. The pre-chorus is so unexpected, that’s why I love it. From soft to dancing music. When the chorus is like a gospel with her manipulated voice, and then breaks up to a great beat with strong drums. It’s so grand and magical, makes me feel golden. IN LOVE. Jack said this is his favorite song he didn’t work on. It’s my fave off the album.
8.) Dancing With Our Hands Tied – the chorus is what kills me. It’s huge and chaotic, something to blast on full volume as you’re racing down the freeway. As I said before, I want a song with a huge chorus. Also, the backup vocals for the last chorus is adds emphasis. THE DRUMS IN THIS SONG ARE SO SICK.
9.) Dress – when she says “stops” and the music goes silent- this has always been my dream y’all don’t even know. Also, the snapping. The “ah’s” before the chorus and her soft voice emphasizes her feelings.
10.) New Year’s Day – I literally told her that the piano sounds like Jon Bellion’s “New York Soul”. I’m crazy. When the acoustic guitar softly joins in with the piano in the second chorus- I SEE YOU TAYLOR. I want to eventually make an entire piano song. I can hear the mocked strings towards the end of the song. | <urn:uuid:61d0be9a-a939-45bd-904c-3d868bb5a114> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://kimmyvilla.com/2017/11/15/reputation-review/ | 2020-09-27T20:51:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.949598 | 1,279 |

The IGTV Video Class Assignment
How can we get our students learning and doing more with video? IGTV videos – or Instagram TV videos – is one such way. That’s why I had my social media class create an IGTV video show this past fall. In the below post, I share how I set the IGTV class assignment up, link to examples of student work, and discuss key takeaways and considerations.
Using Instagram in the College Classroom
Instagram is extremely popular among college students. For the last several years, I’ve had students in my social media class [download social media class syllabus | All posts about this class] create content for our department’s Instagram account, @ShepComm. That content is primarily still images with occasional short-length video, most of which are posted as stories.
As long-time readers know, as a semester-long project, my social media class takes over the communication department social media and learns to create content for it. The students are divided into teams, with each team in charge of a different social media platform. You can learn more about that project in a breakdown I wrote several years ago. This semester-long project is the focus of my 2019 book, Teach Social Media: A Plan for Creating a Course Your Students Will Love.
In fall 2018, the student team in charge of Instagram created a video interview that was too long to be posted on Instagram. So we uploaded them to account’s IGTV page, which allows for a max length of 10 minutes.
As we all know, video has had an increasing role in social media these last few years. There’s no doubt it will continue to grow in 2020. In fact, one study predicts that video will account for over 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022.
As I tried to think about more ways to bring video into my social media class, I found myself impressed with the work of Professor Anastacia Baird’s students on her department’s Instagram account. Professor Baird’s students create content for Instagram.com/ULVcomms and I noticed a few IGTV posts they had done. With that, an idea was born. Maybe I could have my students create an IGTV show in the fall 2019 edition of my social media class.
What is IGTV?
If you’re not familiar with IGTV, it is the long-form video platform for Instagram. Technically, IGTV is a standalone app. But the basic functionality of IGTV is available through the Instagram app.
As Instagram has grown and changed over the years, it has sort of become a Frankenstein of social media platforms. Instagram started with chronological feed posts. Then, they added direct messaging and eventually story posts (disappearing posts, a la Snapchat, that tend to be more casual and fun than the highly-polished feed posts). Then, in June of 2018, Instagram released IGTV as a way for Instagrammers to upload longer video content. [Learn more about IGTV].
Any existing Instagram account can have an IGTV channel. So you just need to set one up. This can be done through an existing Instagram account, or by downloading the IGTV app. Here are instructions for getting started with IGTV via the IGTV app.
To find IGTV videos to watch, you can go to an Instagram user’s profile and select the IGTV icon or search for IGTV by going to the search section of Instagram and selecting “IGTV.” You will see a list of suggested IGTV videos. You can then click search and search for IGTV videos.
The IGTV Class Assignment: Making a Video Show
In the past, my social media class has been in charge of our department’s Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat accounts as well as our department’s blog. The class usually has 20 students in it, so four teams of 5 students works well. I decided to move away from the blog to something more on par with the other platforms. So I divided Instagram into two groups: Instagram (feed posts and stories) and IGTV.
I let my students create their own groups. But I made sure that the team that ended up with IGTV had prior video editing experience, as I would not be focusing on teaching video editing in the class. The team that became in charge of our IGTV channel had two students with video editing experience, learned through taking other courses in our department. Both had worked with Adobe Premiere, which we have access to in our classroom.
Because the videos would not require a great deal editing nor editing expertise, students could also use Adobe Premiere Rush (which we also have in our classroom). [To learn more about Rush, see this article on how Karen Freberg used Adobe Premiere Rush for a class project] One of the students decided to use another web-based editing software tool, which she preferred and paid a few dollars a month for. A third student did not have any editing experience but was eager to learn and jumped in. The two other students in the group contributed in other ways.
The IGTV was given a broad task: Create our department’s very first IGTV show. I left it to them to decide what the show would be about, offering guidance along the way. I did not have any specific expectations; this was new and exciting territory and I had no significant prior experience with IGTV or in creating any type of video series.
Like the other groups, the students were tasked with creating content and then turning that content into me for grading. The students showed their content to the class for feedback. Then, content that was approved, was published. This cycle repeated 3 times during the semester (again, to learn more about the details of the assignment and specific instructions and requirements, see the blog post I created about the semester-long assignment or my book, Teach Social Media).
So, how did it go?
IGTV Video Class Assignment in Review
#ShepShow was born!
We published 9 IGTV videos (of the 11 videos the students created) over the course of the semester, with the longest surpassing 5 minutes. You can watch all 8 at @ShepComm by cicking the IGTV logo.
Each video contained 3 things: The video file, the thumbnail (e.g., cover art) for the video, and the video description.
With each video, the students learned something. For example, tThe first video (#ShepShow Episode 1) was a long interview (our longest) with an interviewer/interviewee format. The interviewer was new to being on camera and was looking down and away from the camera a bit. But some good things came out of the video, and we chatted about what worked and what didn’t. The students used that feedback to improve. For example, I suggested that they have an intro and an outro to the video to let the viewer know what the episode was about. So the added an intro and an outro and used that format for the videos that followed. We also decided the videos could use a bit more editing and a faster pace. We also decided that asking the questions off camera would allow for easier editing and a quicker pace. In all of this, we thought about the primary public – Shepherd students. What type of content would they want to see that would also further our key messages, theme, and objectives?
#ShepShow contained a mix interviews with students, faculty, and alumni and fun person on the street style episodes.
The students had a lot of fun with this. I had to reign them in a little, teaching them a few things about staying on message and creating brand-appropriate content. It was a cool thing for them to be learning to consider these things through a project rather than just a lecture. The students did a great job of mixing humor and information, in an ‘infotainment’ manner that would be interesting to their fellow students. Ryan, who presented the intros and outros, was lively, friendly, and comfortable on camera.
One of the videos the students created fell outside of the parameters I set for the class. The content itself was interesting and engaging in the same style of the #ShepShow episodes 3 and 4, but, given the topic, I did not feel it was a good fit for the department’s brand. It wasn’t an inappropriate or problematic topic, it just wasn’t the right fit. To the students’ credit, they quickly created a second video to replace it.
I also had the students re-edit a few things for messaging and branding purposes. This created a bit of extra work on everyone’s part.
I also did not publish one of the videos due to quality issues. There was an issue with a smartphone ring light that was causing the smartphone used to do the recording to attempt to auto-focus continuously. Thus, the picture was focused and then blurry and then focused and then blurry again. This was caused by an equipment issue because the students had to use a different ring light than they normally used. It could not be fixed in post production, and we were on a tight deadline.
Things to Consider When using IGTV in the Classroom
I’m very pleased with the outcome of our first ever IGTV show. There are some issues, of course that came up. Logistics is also something to consider. Keep the below takeaways in mind if you decide to do an IGTV video assignment in your class.
Posting Videos: Posting the videos to IGTV is easy because you can upload them directly from a desktop computer into the platform. Therefore, large video files and files that have been editing on a computer can be easily uploaded. I found this super helpful and took care of uploading all of the videos myself. See Instagram’s instructions on how to upload IGTV videos via the app or via desktop. We did not use the IGTV app.
Video dimensions: The video dimension requirements are strict (see IGTV video requirements). IGTV videos are best viewed on a phone where you can turn your phone horizontally to view. Viewing the videos on a PC renders them cropped small with a large black border. The same is true for some smartphones. For example, on my Android I was not able to get the videos to turn horizontally for full view.
Thumbnails: We had some issues getting our thumbnails to fit right. Over the semester, text and other editing was added to the thumbnails to try and make them more attention grabbing. We tried them horizontally and vertically, basically experimenting to see what looked best. The video description title text is automatically placed at the bottom of a post. This covered text on several thumbnails. I wish I had gotten best practices for thumbnails sorted out, as opposed to learning as we went.
Turning the Videos In: Because of the large file size of the videos, I had the students upload them to Google Drive and then share them with me. For some reason, a few of the videos were not processed when they were uploaded. So I was not able to download them. I had to go back to the students and ask them to upload them using a different service. OneDrive and Firefox Send seemed to work better.
Editing and video format: As noted above, editing can be done on a number of platforms. Your students don’t need expert editing skills to make IGTV videos. Also, because the editing can be done on a computer or smartphone, you’ve got options. However, IGTV only allows MP4 video files – so make sure that the video editing software you use can export to MP4. Or, you could use a multimedia file format converter like Adobe Encoder.
Equipment and Sound: Spending a little money on equipment can go a long way. As I wrote last semester, our department recently bought a number of tools to help students create higher quality multimedia content. That included a ring light tripod, several mics, and a few other things. Sound is vital to successful video. No one wants to watch a video with poor sounds. The students preferred the shotgun mic as it was best for person on the street interviews and other scenarios. However, we did have some sound issues. One of the interviews was recorded outside on a breezy day and there was some interference. The students could not get the windscreen that came with the shotgun mic to fit on the mic. In the final video, #ShepShow Episode 9: Interview with Alum Tess Hyre, Ryan was too far away when recording his lines, making it hard to hear.
Metrics: Monitor metrics for IGTV videos. To do this, go into the video that is posted, select the menu icon (three dots), then click ‘view insights.’ You can see views, likes, comments, and average percentage watched. Average percentage watched shows you the drop off viewership rate for your video across time. Through this metric, students were able to see how their videos were performing in terms of keeping attention. The drop off rates were pretty high, but there were some differences. The videos that involved fellow students in a person on the street format performed the best. Insights like these can be used to create more compelling content. Below is an example of metrics for the video with the best completion rate, episode 4: Are you smarter than a college student?. You can see that only 20% of viewers watched the entire video.
Take Risk and Have Fun: It is important to ensure that the content is of a high quality and is appropriate. But, as the metrics clearly showed, people want to watch content that is fun, relatable, and authentic to the platform. As a professor, if I had designed the content my students published, it would have been staid and dry. It probably would have just been a series of talking head interviews. By letting my students create the show and take some risks, their content performed better. Yes, it can be a little scary to us professors to let our students publish silly content (example: Episode 4: Are You Smarter than a College Student?). If it’s one thing I learned during the last decade of teaching college, it is to not take myself so seriously. My students have taught me to have a little fun.
IGTV Video College Class Assignment Summary
In summary, the IGTV assignment was a great way for students to learn more about video in social media. It provided a fun environment for students to experiment, learn some new skills, and learn by doing. While each student played a different role in the project, they learned about working with tripods, ring lights, lapel and shotgun mics. They learned about lighting, camerawork, video editing. They gained experience being on camera. They had to come up with creative ideas for content, had to adapt their content to their audience and objectives, scout locations for shoots, create scripts, recruit and schedule interviews with alumni, deal with equipment issues, and more. | <urn:uuid:522510c7-5e24-4de9-a7fc-50d7262a7e7d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mattkushin.com/2020/01/21/igtv-video-assignment-for-the-college-classroom/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-09-27T19:46:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.96873 | 3,140 |

Recently, the release notes for Windows 10 Build 10540 was leaked online. Today, however, a handful of screenshots from Build 10540 has been posted online, showing off (one of the) latest builds of Windows 10. As you may expect, Build 10540 doesn’t include any major improvements as Build 10537 was leaked earlier this week – which also didn’t include any major changes.
Take a look at the screenshots:
As you can see, Buil 10540 doesn’t seem to include any noticeable new improvement. However, a new picture has been posted on Twitter showing some new icons for the Calendar, Mail, Photos and Calculator app:
And last by now, the calculator icon coloring, here are all of them pic.twitter.com/DcT7aiwuct
— Core (@tfwboredom) September 17, 2015
It’s worth noting that we aren’t quite sure if the new icons are on build 10540, but we suspect these icons were added in one of the latest internal builds of Windows 10.
Microsoft will probably not release a new Windows 10 build to Insiders this week. However, don’t be surprised if the software giant pushes a new PC build next week. Until then, tell us what you think of the new app icons in Windows 10 in the comment section below. | <urn:uuid:285e5321-ef30-46fc-8ab8-c87b7df9f925> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mspoweruser.com/windows-10-build-10540-screenshots-leaked/ | 2020-09-27T21:08:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.951344 | 281 |
Coca Cola Essay/ International
Each company own or license and market more than five hundred nonalcoholic beverage brands such as; waters, juices, ready to drink teas and coffees across the globe. This research paper will focus on how The Coca-Cola Company uses strategies in order to compete in the completive market, Coca-Cola International, Market Segmentation, the “Cola wars” and finally, discuss the “unit case volume” of the Coca-Cola Company. Purpose of Study
The purpose of this research paper is to achieve a better understanding of International Business through the basic study of a worldwide company’s strategy in order to compete with the completive market Limitations of Study One of the largest limitations of this study is finding creditable resources to support this research paper and interpreting the relevant information to the instructor’s expectations. Definition of Terms For the purpose of this paper, “Coca-Cola Company” and “Coke” will be used interchangeably; all other terms utilized in this research paper are within acknowledged meaning.
Any terms that need clarification from normal usage will be defined within the text. Review of Literature Coca-Cola Mission “Our Roadmap starts with our mission, which is enduring. It declares our purpose as a company and serves as the standard against which we weigh our actions and decisions”. * To refresh the world… * To inspire moments of optimism and happiness… To create value and make a difference. (Thecoca-colacompany. com) Background Coca-Cola Company is the world largest non-alcoholic beverage manufacturer and distributor in the world and is no stranger to the global market.
They own more than three hundred brands in more than two hundred countries. (Thecoca-colacompany. com) Created by John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta Georgia 1886 sold Coke as fountain drink and told his customer it was a “potion for mental and physical disorders”. In 1895, Asa G. Candler, a natural salesman, converted Coca-Cola from an invention into a business. He knew there were thirsty people out there, and Candler found brilliant and innovative ways to introduce them to this exciting new refreshment.
He gave away coupons for complimentary first tastes of Coca-Cola, and outfitted distributing pharmacists with clocks, urns, calendars and apothecary scales bearing the Coca-Cola brand. (Heritage. coca-cola. com) The original logo was developed from the handwriting of the company’s book-keeper, Frank Robinson, back in 1885. The wavy line seen at the base of the logo (also known as the “dynamic curve” or “dynamic ribbon”) was designed when the company introduced cans. The first idea was to create a can in the same shape as the bottle.
When the company realized this just wasn’t possible they came up with the idea of the dynamic curve. The shape of the line was intended to represent the shape bottle (Heritage. coca-cola. com) Coca-Cola International According to Hill (2012) “Coca-Cola, the iconic American soda maker, has long been among the most international of enterprises”. During WWII, Coke supplied the United States troops with Coca-Cola wherever in the world they went. (Hill, 2012, p. 518). On The Coca-Cola Heritage Timeline; in 1923, Robert Woodruff became the Coca Cola Company president after he inherited the company from his father.
Woodruff spent more than 60 years as Company leader introducing the beverage to the world beyond. (Heritage. coca-cola. com) Woodruff was known as “marketing genius” who saw opportunities for growth everywhere. He led the expansion of Coca-Cola overseas and in “1928 introduced Coca-Cola to the Olympic Games for the first time when Coca-Cola traveled with the United States team to the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics” and has been a proud sponsor to the Olympics for 80 years In 1902, the Coca-Cola Company decided to move outside of the United States and entered Cuba.
By 1929, Coke was marketing in more than seventy-six countries. Today more than seventy percent of Coca-Cola’s case volume is in international markets (Hill, 2012, p. 518). The Company’s existence worldwide was growing rapidly, and year after year, Coca-Cola found a home in more and more places such as: Cambodia, Montserrat, Paraguay, Macau, Turkey and more. The international charm of Coca-Cola was actually brought to life by a 1971 commercial, “where a group of young people from all over the world gathered on a hilltop in Italy to sing “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke. ” (heritage. coca-cola. om) According to Rubadiri (2012), “three Coca-Cola Bottling Companies-Kisii Bottlers, Mount Kenya Bottlers and Rift Bottlers have expressed their interest to enter into a three way reorganization of ownership”. The merger, which is the first of its kind, will bring 1. 5 billion dollars for shareholders. The Cola Wars For over a century, Coca Cola and Pepsi competed for the top brand of the world’s beverage market; the most intense battles of cola wars were fought over the $60-billion industry in the United States, where the average American consumed 53 gallons of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) per year.
The first challenge between the two companies started in 1950 when the CEO of Pepsi made his trademark “beat Coke” and encouraged bottlers on take-home sales through supermarkets . From 1975 to 1995 both Coke and Pepsi achieved average annual growth of around 10% as both U. S and worldwide consumption consistently rose. Coke and Pepsi began to experiment with new colas and non-cola flavors in the 1960’s. Coke introduced Fanta (1960), Sprite (1961), and low calorie Tab (1963). Pepsi countered with Teem (1960), Mountain Dew (1964) and Diet Pepsi (1964) (Chauhan, 2012 p 3).
The cola wars were mentioned is a song from singer Billy Joel’s “We didn’t start the fire” in 1989. Strategies used for completive market Strategy can be defined as “actions that managers take to attain the goals of a firm, the main goal is maximize the value of a firm and increase profitability” (Hill, 2012 p 418). The Coca-Cola Company is using marketing strategies to compete with companies such as; Pepsi and Schweppes, in the competitive market. As stated in an article written by Jeff Bullas (2012. ) “Coca Cola has been part of popular culture for over 100 years and has been called a “Vision Brand“.
Its marketing and communication is purposeful and connects with its audience in a way that makes it stand out from its competitors”. Also mentioned in the article that Coke is using content excellence, the purpose of content excellence is to create “Ideas” so contagious that they cannot be controlled this is what is called “liquid content”. On a social web people can easily share ideas, videos and photos on social networks such Facebook” (Bullas, 2012). In an article from Neil Davidson (2012), in 2012, “Coke launched a content market strategy called “Content 2020” which revealed an enormous shift in direction and emphasis.
It was built on recognition of the fact that the world is changing rapidly and traditional marketing methods are outdated. Also stated in the article, Davidson expressed Coke’s plan to change. He stated; Coca Cola have identified three key drivers as to why they need to change their approach. – The first of these is that they want to double to size of their business. – The second is that they have noticed the current climate within which there is a ‘distribution of creativity’ and no one has a monopoly on creativity. The third driver is the distribution of technology and the fact that consumers are empowered through their access to a range of on demand device. (2012) According to Gaudet (2012), In order to meet their 2020 target, Coca-Cola is depending primarily on growth in emerging and developing markets. During their 2020 Vision presentation, the company presented a UN projection showing that the global middle class will grow from 1. 2 billion today to 2. 2 billion by 2020, as well as historical evidence showing a strong correlation between a country’s per-capita expenses and per-capita Non Alcoholic Ready to Drink (NARTD) consumption.
Based off of this growth, Coca-Cola expects total industry annual volume to grow at a 4% annualized rate and total industry value to grow at a 5% annualized rate, from $600 billion to $1,100 billion. The 1. 2% difference could come from two sources – an improvement in product mix and market share gains (Gaudet, 2010). Stated in an article by Melodie Warner (2012), Coca-Cola announced that the company “will reorganize its operating structure around three major businesses, starting Jan. 1, 2012, in an effort to better address the changing demands of its marketplace”.
The reason behind this decision is due to “American reducing their consumption of soft drinks and pockets of economic uncertainty with Europe and China”. The company’s new structure will be composed of Coca-Cola International (Europe, Pacific and Eurasia, and Africa), Coca-Cola Americas (North America and Latin America) and Bottling Group (company owned bottling operations outside of North America). (wsj. com) Market Segmentation “Market Segmentation refers to distinct groups of consumers whose purchasing behavior differs from others in important ways” (Hill, 2012, pp. 83-584). According to Hill (2012), Tastes and preferences differ from country to country, “Coca-Cola in Japan markets Georgia, a cold coffee in a can and Aquarius, a tonic drink, which appeals to Japanese tastes” (p. 586). Georgia coffee is mainly sold in Japan. Coca-Cola over the years has appealed to many types of groups and cultures and is constantly looking for new ideas that will catch the interest in a widely diverse population. Diet cola for an example, Coke designed Coke Zero mainly to appeal to women.
Coke Classic is loved by the whole world. Some of the big name celebrities who have continued the positive brand image that associate with Coca-Cola are Bill Cosby, Michelle Kwan, and Jennifer Lopez. Michelle Kwan and Jennifer Lopez are great endorsements because they both have avoided scandal and have kept an association with their occupation; Kwan with being an Olympic ice skater, and Lopez being a singer and actress The website mentions how they think of Bill Cosby as a “friendly family man”. cocacoladvertising. com) Although over the years Coca-Cola has made a few mistakes in choosing celebrities to endorse their product A few examples that were mentioned were Kobe Bryant, Paula Abdul and Rodger Clemens, this is how Coke clarified this “there are some celebrities who might have hurt the Coca-Cola image due to controversies over their actions. Paula Abdul was said to have coached and had a sexual relationship with Corey Clark, a contestant on American Idol, a show that she was a judge on”. | <urn:uuid:abbf5b29-7b27-47a4-b682-99d5de58f751> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://newyorkessays.com/essay-coca-cola-essay-international/ | 2020-09-27T19:38:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.953918 | 2,402 |
Reading a puff piece on one of the most disingenuous anti-cannabis activists in America, Dr. Andrea Barthwell of IL and VA, made my eyes roll as the contradictions and hypocrisies kept coming out–like a parade of clowns in one’s mind.
From Crain’s Chicago Business
Andrea Barthwell, 55, provides medical consulting, forensic work and lectures for clients as president of Encounter Medical Group P.C. in River Forest and founder and CEO of EMGlobal LLC, based in Arlington, Va. What she prescribes:
News from alternative sources such as http://www.projectcensored.org and http://www.reddit.com. “Members post stories from a variety of media; it tells you what people are thinking and talking about.” Scouts Chicago Tribune, New York Times and USA Today for health-related human-interest stories; traveling three weeks a month, reads medical articles via laptop.
An M.D. and former deputy drug czar under George W. Bush, follows A&E’s “Intervention.” Tweets relevant articles as @DrAGB: “I’m an addictionista.”
A prominent opponent of legalizing marijuana, she consults for a company developing a drug that’s a marijuana extract “because drugs are tested under the highest scientific standards and subject to FDA approval; the crude plant is not.” Follows the issue via the Marijuana Policy Project, Naperville-based http://www.educatingvoices.org and http://www.norml.org, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Finds comfort in Alexander McCall Smith’s series, “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” based in Botswana. “A smart mystery and no loose ends; everyone winds up happy.”
Creates iPod playlists for writing, reading and cooking. In the mix: “Anything Motown; Ludacris, Andrea Bocelli and Corinne Bailey Ray. She can moan like nobody else.” Finds new music at http://www.pandora.com. “That’s how I discovered Amy Winehouse.”
Works crossword puzzles and studies “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Playing Guitar.” “I got a Martin acoustic guitar last Christmas; I’m guarding against Alzheimer’s.”
Here we go…Dr. Barthwell has made a career and a lot of money advocating that the American public should be drug tested en mass, all children should be randomly drug tested, students should lose their loans upon a simple cannabis arrest; as well as the mass arrests, prosecutions and incarcerations of cannabis consumers.
She has testified against medical access to cannabis and that the American farmer should be prohibited from cultivating industrial hemp.
She is one of the relatively few physicians in America that believes that the criminal justice system is preferable to decriminalization. Then again, it is so much easier to make money when the government does most of the dirty work, creates prohibition-related industries, like the ones that literally bring the clients to the money-makers in handcuffs, such as private prisons or to so-called ‘addiction specialists’ like Dr. Barthwell (since the late 1990s, most of the clients of addiction specialists like Barthwell are forced into their offices after being presented with the Hobson’s Choice by the government post-arrest of either going to jail or to visit–and pay!–the Dr. Barthwell’s of the world).
But here is where the ironies and contradictions just have to make one laugh at the absurdity found in some of the self-interested players in cannabis prohibition like Barthwell–a prohibition profiteer to rival any street level drug dealer.
Taking these laugh points on in sequential order…
Dr. Barthwell recommends projectcensored? The Projectcensored that recently featured the harms and costs of cannabis prohibition arrests as a highly censored mainstream media topic? Dr. Barthwell recommends reading the Chicago Tribune, New York Times and USA Today…but, does she actually read them as, ironically, all of these paper’s editorial boards (and most every columnist) traditionally support both decriminalizing cannabis and medical access to the plant.
One of the specific ways Dr. Barthwell makes money off of cannabis prohibition these days–post doing so on the taxpayer’s expense while at the ONDCP for years–is to work for pharmaceutical companies that are trying to develop cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals where she essentially argues that ‘pills and suppositories (possibly consisting of pure THC!)’ are A-OK, but a physician-instructed patient is a criminal if they use the whole plant material; patients should have no access to whole-smoked cannabis. Period.
Dr. Barthwell claims to monitor opponents like NORML and MPP as well, and that she recommends an extreme anti-cannabis organization called www.educatingvoices.org. The folks at Educating Voices (Dr. Barthwell’s home state anti-cannabis organization in IL) should be happy she visits their webpage, because according to the webpage ranking site Alexa.com, almost nobody visits their webpage.
If the marketplace of ideas and equal access to information means anything at all, cannabis law reform webpages are much, much more popular than anti-cannabis webpages.
Dr. Barthwell’s recommendations on music are also ironic to the point of absurd. Ludacris? Dr. Barthwell wants American youth to listen and watch Ludacris? The same Ludacris who performs a cannabis-loving rap song in an industrial cannabis cultivation farm that is as bright as the center of the sun?
Amy Winehouse? Do I need to write more?
By all means Dr. Barthwell, more people should buy and support the musical careers of cannabis consumers like Ludicris and Ms. Winehouse!
Lastly, Dr. Barthwell jests that she’d like to possibly stave of the affects of Alzheimer’s by learning how to play a newly acquired Martin guitar.
I have a suggestion: Why not take guitar lessons from a notable NORML supporter, who happens to own and performs almost daily on the world’s most famous Martin guitar, who has penned over 2,000 songs and could surely help you possibly stave off the affects of Alzheimer’s with his ever-present medicine, who has been known to share from time to time, town to town… | <urn:uuid:d02cb5c7-f939-44de-89d1-d5349e196ca0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://norml.org/blog/2009/11/29/former-deputy-drug-czar-still-looks-for-marijuana-prohibition-to-pay-her/ | 2020-09-27T20:14:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.939123 | 1,376 |

After we’re done reminiscing about the good old days of operating systems, let’s reflect on the bad old days of operating systems as well.

How To Make An Electric Bike With a Starter Motor?
Electric bike riding around your city is affordable and Eco-friendly. They 're just perfect for moving and preparing and storing. You may take the battery off and fill it while on school or at college, or add your adapter to the battery directly while connected to your bike. You should even do a few items to care for your battery and ensure it functions properly.
A bike can be riding for several reasons. Regularly riding a bike improves your well-being and saves your money because you don't have to purchase petrol. Most notably, an electric bike cannot generate pollution, so it is an ideal option for preserving our atmosphere. An electric bike is an option in such situations. The strength, convenience, and portability of an electric bike have paired with the ability to ride much longer distances without requiring a lot of physical energy. Now, you undoubtedly have concerns as you plan to teach yourself how to make an electric bike with a starter motor.
The procedure of making an electric bike with a starter motor:
Any of these bikes, with different prices and characteristics (battery life, weight, and size), can also be found. One of the most significant benefits of modern bikes is that they are durable as they do not use petrol, like vehicles or automobiles. Electric bikes also use electricity that way, but an electric motor is far more environmentally efficient than a generator or automobile engine. It is not as complicated as it looks to adjust the electric bike under 1000. It's an engine, and several other parts that you have to do, to making them fit correctly together is the most challenging part. I am going to point out in this guide the basics of how to make an electric bike with a starter motor. It will help you to learn about making an electric bike with a motor.
Connect the batteries:
I hope you have a good battery pack from the medical supplies shop, but you'll only have to order one if you haven't. Make sure you have a similar pair and a decent pump. First, render those battery cartons mockups. It's much better than two 30-pound batteries to push around a hollow cardboard box. Already you can attach them in order. Link a positive (+) port cable from one port to another's the negative port (-). You may also connect the batteries. Link first and second batteries' positive port and then attach them to their negative side.
Build the electric bike:
The aim is to mount the engine into the triangle, forming the electric bike framework and linking a chain from the engine to the pivoting shaft. What about cogwheel, however? The collection has based on harmony.
Verification of everything is okay:
Check things with the motor, catching and rotating the chain around the crankshaft wheel and the generator. The master connection ties the two ends of the chain, although only one or two links may be substituted to spot the engine accurately. It should be reliable, but it should not be adjusted. It can drop through fast acceleration, or as it goes uphill if it is loose or slippery.
To keep the motor stay farm:
Then trace the lines with a pen or pencil, where you have to cut the plate to secure both the generator and the motor. Displace the engine on the plate and add it to the machine's frame at three points, and it stays stable. Keep the engine using a plate.
The accelerator should be mounted:
It will help with this easy procedure. Just like the old bicycle speaking, take a thin, stiff part. Place it between the handlebar and the handlebar and dump in the coat rack to combine water and dishwasher. You should transform the liquid down into the handle.
Push and move the compressor in the direction of the handlebar:
You may even have directions for your compressor.
Link the throttle cables and the cables of the motor:
- You will switch the bike on the back and try to get the motor to operate after this stage.
- Semi-permanently connect the battery to the generator.
- Change it with washers when you have trouble with chain alignment.
How can you maintain an electric motorbike?
Regularly check the tire condition:
You can adjust the tires when you find improvements in handling the wheel or, at the worst, when the wear patch has locked up to the wear barriers. Under-inflated tires are overheated and may fail. Over-inflated tires provide less than optimum grip.
lubricates the gears and engines:
It is triggered by harm to the engine if you don't adjust motor oil. The manual of the owner describes how much the oil needs to be changed and treated. Check if oil spills are likely. Carbon tanks thicken the oil and cause drag in engine movements. Do not run on dirty oil on your electric bike. The fuel consumption will increase, and engine life will have dramatically reduced.
Keep the filter clean at all times:
In particular, dusty conditions will obstruct the filter very quickly. Every time change the air filter at recommended intervals; in particular, dusty conditions increase cleaning frequency.
Keep the battery of your bike:
Do periodic maintenance to guarantee long and trouble-free battery life. Whenever needed, complete the battery with distilled water. Check for any battery leakage. If the bike has not used longer, maintain battery fully charged.
Regularly clean the bike:
It is not only lovely to keep dirt and salt clean in winter but also helps maintain them. It is even more comfortable for you to notice that you have no or that you have loose bolts and nuts. Using plastic sheets, cover the ignition switch, the ignition spool, and silencer before the electric bike has cleaned. Stop exposing the sunshine of your bike; try shading your bike.
Test the fork and oil:
For once, every 12000 km, change your bike's fork oil. For rust or injury, check fork and spring. Adjust your fork to your ease and convenience. Search for sprockets. If possible, remove them. For gears, the standard wear-out cap is 40,000 Km. Change the driving and driven sprockets as well as the chain simultaneously. Only one part should not be changed.
Perform maintenance on weekdays:
Take care of the checks every week, or every 200 miles, as soon as possible. Every month or every 1000 miles (any more rapidly) carry out these activities. See the connections of the fire. The problem can arise from cleaning, adjusting, or substituting anything other than a light/medium brown deposit.
That's all you need to how to make an electric bike with a starter motor. It's time to reach the track now that all measures of electric bike riding have updated. Keep the mounting handle, move the shifter to the first stage, raise the mounting slowly, and gently twist the throttle. The more you practice, the faster it is to ride a bike. The key is your bike's smooth touch and input. It would make driving safer and quicker, not just a more reliable driver. It requires time and training to understand how to operate an electric bike skillfully. | <urn:uuid:225d0a2f-4636-4adb-bdb4-9e4ca0930129> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://routevibes.com/how-to-make-an-electric-bike-with-a-starter-motor/ | 2020-09-27T19:01:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401578485.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927183616-20200927213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.945327 | 1,472 |
