I listened to a sermon by my friend JR Vassar who is planting a church in Manhattan. He talked about good trees producing good fruit and bad trees producing rotten fruit. I wonder how many of us are good trees? From what I experienced, I could tend to despair that there are writers who put words to page whose hearts are dark, whose trees are bad to begin with.
I taught at Mount Hermon Christian Writer's Conference on this topic: It's what inside that counts.
Good writing flows from a good heart.
Redemptive writing flows from a redeemed heart.
Courageous writing flows from an unafraid heart.
Humble writing flows from a broken heart.
Authentic writing flows from a real heart.
We can't fake it. Sure, we can try to pen important words for important audiences, but if our heart is dark, we're guilty of lying at worst, pretending at best. I don't want to be what Jesus accused the Pharisees of being: whitewashed tombs. I don't want to say deep, pithy words that I don't mean or I don't live out. If I do that, I'm enslaving others by my self-appointed rules from the outside in.
Everything flows from our hearts. It's not so much what we put in that defiles us as what comes out. Consider Jesus' words: "But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man" (Matthew 15:18-20).
Jesus is saying that it's not what we appear like on the outside that defiles us. It's not our dirty hands, in other words. It's what's inside. And eventually, what is inside will be known to all.
I hope and pray the CBA is not full of whitewashed tombs, writers parading around with clean hands and darkened hearts. I hope and pray it's not all about our own ministry, our own glory, our own brand, our own corner of the Christian market share, our own niche. I pray it's about honest pilgrims with honest hearts penning honest, life-giving words for the sake His renown, He who is the Author of all words, of all redemptive stories.
And yet, as I write this I am acutely aware of my own sins that parade themselves in front of me shouting mockery. Who am I to write anything? I am needy, terribly fragile at times, self-absorbed. I am one who loves to outwardly shun praise but inwardly relish it. My feet are clay. My heart strays. My words ring hollow. I guess the only true hope for me and other writers like me is the astounding grace of Jesus. And the strength of Him who was perfectly right with the Father. I can only run to His arms when I'm a whitewashed tomb. It's only He who cleanses me from the inside out, Who makes my words and heart coexist in harmony.
I'm reminded of the simple words, "Behold the Man," spoken by Pilate in John 19:5. Jesus stood, nearly naked, yet wrapped in a mocking robe and a slicing crown. His outside was not lovely, at least by human standards, but his heart was perfectly clean. He, bloodied, stood as the embodiment of authenticity. I wonder how many of us are that willing to be seen as we are. I wonder how many of us would pull the robe defensively around our souls, afraid to show what is inside? I know I'd be afraid.
So, yes, we should strive for authenticity from the inside out. Hiding emaciates our prose. I pray, especially as I write this, that we'd be ready to hear, "Behold the writer," whispered by the scarred Savior, who bore our evasive and hidden sins on the tree. And that we could stand covered in the robe of His grace, ready to share the story with the world.

I do not necessarily share your religious passion, but I think I share your passionate love of God... and I believe that the lessons of Jesus for me DO lie in humility, generosity of spirit, and learning to be as honest as I can with who I am on the inside. I have a very, very long way to go. We are not, perhaps, as willing to be seen authentically because none of us is as pure as Jesus was. What had he to fear in exposing himself to our God?
I hope, as my writing grows stronger and hits closer to the bone, that I will remember that gratitude has been one of the saving graces given to me from someplace OUTSIDE of myself. And that my words will be about more than the pain, but mostly about the gifts I was blessed with from other people, from nature's beauty, from the arts--ALL gifts from God--that brought me through those times.
Anyway, thank you for this entry. It made me think a great deal. I think that bad fruit can come from a good tree that's in trouble, that has a disease... ultimately, we can only know what kind of a tree we've been when we are done, right? I don't know. But it is a marvelous entry you offered, Beth.

Rochester, New York: Wegmans supermarket directs customers not to use Muslim's checkout line if they have pork or alcohol – Jihad Watch.
Rochester, New York: Wegmans supermarket directs customers not to use Muslim's checkout line if they have pork or alcohol
This is yet another example of the cultural and societal initiatives I wrote about at length in my 2008 book Stealth Jihad: Muslims demand special accommodation for Islamic law and practice, and reinforce the principle that wherever Islamic law and practice and American law and practice conflict, American law and practice has to give way. It also establishes special privileges for Muslims, in accord with their status in Islamic law.
"Sign at Wegmans draws attention," by Ray Levato for WHEC.com, March 30 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
It's a first for Wegmans in this area. They've put up a sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier.The sign went up a week ago at their Lyell Avenue store.
Wegmans says they haven't gotten any in store complaints and Wegmans was very upfront about the cashier. They just wouldn't allow us in the store to talk with her or customers.
Spokeswoman Jo Natale says the cashier is a teenaged girl who wears a head covering. She told her supervisor she was uncomfortable handling those items because of religious reasons. So the store manager who had experience with this type of situation outside of Rochester decided to put up a small sign whenever the girl was at the checkout counter.
It says, "If your order contains pork or alcohol product, we respectfully ask that you choose another lane."
Wegmans also says the girl has been coached what to say if customers ask why. People News10NBC spoke with outside the Lyell Avenue Wegmans store said they were okay with it and one even knows Christians who don't like the idea of serving alcohol.
But Christians who don't like the idea of serving alcohol just get another job. They don't demand that their workplace change the way it does business in order to accommodate them.
Bernard Thomas said, "I feel like if they're going to hire her and she's got to have the job, why shouldn't we respect her. Just go to another cashier."
Why hire her if she won't do the job the way everyone else does it? There are no jobs in Rochester that wouldn't involve handling pork and alcohol?
Darlene Hucko said, "I would respect her beliefs and go to the next line if I had alcohol. Levato said, "You think that's okay." Hucko said, "I think it is okay."…
I don't. This amounts to discrimination against non-Muslim customers — they have one less checkout line, longer waits, etc. The civil rights movement was fought to establish equality of access to services for all Americans. This is a perversion of it. | 2018/07/18 14:02:48 | https://thegrungefactor.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/rochester-new-york-wegmans-supermarket-directs-customers-not-to-use-muslims-checkout-line-if-they-have-pork-or-alcohol-jihad-watch/ | mC4 | en |

Dickinson's Real Deal antiques dealer opens vintage and reclaimed goods store Laurie's in Boldon - this is what to expect | Shields Gazette
Hebburn technology company doubles size of premises, creating 20 new jobs in bid to hit £30million turnover
An antiques dealer known for her regular appearances on TV has launched her own store selling vintage and reclaimed items.
Updated Sunday, 6th June 2021, 10:15 am
Antique dealer Laurie Scully in her shop North Road, Boldon Colliery.
Laurie Scully, a long-time antiques dealer, who has appeared regularly on TV's Dickinson's Real Deal, opened her first physical premises – named 'Laurie's' – in North Road, Boldon Colliery, after getting a helping hand to become a pandemic start-up.
As well as selling a unique selection of vintage and reclaimed items, she also stocks handmade gifts and local crafts.
Before the pandemic Laurie would regularly travel to Antique Fairs from Brighton to Northumberland, buying and selling vintage goods.
Antique dealer Laurie Scully in her shop in North Road, Boldon Colliery.
But when this became impossible due to Government restrictions, Laurie needed to pivot her business to become more sustainable.
"With everything that happened last year I realised I was ready for something a bit more permanent," she said.
"I've been operating as an Antiques Dealer for over a decade but I needed to find out a little bit more about the structure of running a small business to move things forward.
To help her figure out her next steps Laurie took on Understanding Enterprise, a free course recently expanded to anyone over the age of 19 living in South Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland or Durham.
"Understanding Enterprise gave me that knowledge and supported the development of my business plan for the shop. Having worked on my own for so long it was really helpful to have people to bounce ideas off and give me feedback," said Laurie.
"The teaching and support were excellent, and the online delivery meant I could fit it around my other commitments. It really gave me the confidence I needed to take the next step. The course also gave me an amazing local network of like-minded people and let me know about the support that's available out there for small business owners.
"I think despite all the uncertainty, this year has left a lot of people inspired to make a change or try something new. If you're thinking about turning your passion into a business or changing or growing your existing business, this course will really help you figure out how to get started.
"The response I've had since opening has been amazing, I think people were definitely missing something a little bit different in the area and hopefully we can provide that for them."
The Level 1 Award in Understanding Enterprise, is delivered by FIRST in partnership with Skills South Tyneside and provides a recognised qualification in Entrepreneurial skills.
Charlotte Windebank, MD and Cofounder of FIRST, said: "The pandemic had a significant impact on employment in the region, meaning some people lost their jobs and others have been left reconsidering what they want to do with their careers.
"Extended periods on furlough provided many with the opportunity to work on side hustles or personal projects they just didn't have time for before and job insecurity for others meant looking for new ways to generate income."
She added: "2020 was a record year for new businesses and 64% of the early-stage founders we're currently working with set up their businesses during the pandemic.
"Whether you're looking to gain employment, get a promotion, change career or start-up and grow your own business, we'll help you develop your ideas and provide opportunities and resources to put those plans into action."
The Understanding Enterprise Level 1 course is completely free to anyone over 19 years old living in South Tyneside, Sunderland Gateshead or Durham.
Places are available on the June intake of the course, the intensive two-day courses will be delivered on June 10 and 11, and then 24 and 25.
A bite-size option begins on June 29 with twice weekly two-hour sessions for three weeks.
Cllr Mark Walsh, lead Member for Regeneration and Economy at South Tyneside Council, said: "Laurie is a shining example of that grit and determination.
"Upskilling herself and reshaping her business to make it more sustainable in a post covid world."
He added: "Our region's indomitable spirit and resilience has seen us through this pandemic, and it is those same qualities that will allow us to come out of it stronger, capitalising on new and innovative solutions."

group purchase customers are in some rich and powerful enterprises, and be able to close the deal, almost all more than middle managers say, so, in the provision of services for the customers, to be careful, be careful, considerate, not only to think wise, but also to reach every aspect of a matter. With our high quality, personalized service, the group purchase orders firmly in hand, you know, some enterprises in a year to several times and even more extensive procurement groups, a service is not in place, you may lose future opportunities for cooperation.
but some enterprises and retail customers is our long-term cooperation, both sides are more familiar with, get along very well, you is not, therefore, in terms of service retail customers will be greatly reduced, and the discount you can reduce the group purchase enterprises and main procurement staff for your favor, when this impression slowly disappear when the part company each going his own way is not far away. At that time, you will regret it.
so, the service to buy the company, I did not dare to relax for a moment. Buy companies are sometimes not a purchase, a commodity, but a combination of multiple goods. We have many retail customers for delivery of such goods into the handle to the enterprise and the procurement unit Everything will be fine., to get these goods from sorting to spend a lot of manpower and material resources.
in order to facilitate the customer, every time to buy a group of enterprises to organize the goods, I will send five or six sales staff to go along with the car, to the designated location, to buy goods sorting, packaging. Our town of Hua Yu garment factory is the Spring Festival last year was the first time cooperation, just put the Spring Festival of the group purchase matters processed, they booked Tomb-sweeping Day this year to distribute the labor supplies, according to their group purchasing department purchasing personnel, is my this service warm and touching.
of course, in the course of the group, we have a lot of retail customers will play tricks on the way to wipe oil". They think that these are all large enterprise group purchase industry, big enterprises, do not care about the money, so it will play a trick on the price of goods, this kind of "stealing" behavior, finally to harm or their own.
is now a lot of shopkeepers think it is very smart, always like to play some small tricks when doing business, but I do not know, it is very likely to cause very negative business | 2021/09/26 19:49:37 | https://hmhydhw.com/vicente258 | mC4 | en |

0 Simple Forex Pivot Points Strategy. The Daily-Pivot-Points.ex4 indicator can be used to design several trading strategies. The strategy described in one of the earlier articles used the blue pivot line as the focal point of the trades.. This time around, we will see how this indicator can present trade opportunities using any pivot point available. The point of this strategy is to match a pivot point breakout or bounce with a MACD crossover or divergence. When you match signals from both indicators, you should enter the market in the respective direction. A stop loss should be used in this trading strategy the same way as with the previous strategy. Three different levels of support and resistance are calculated above and below the pivot point. The three levels of resistance are referred to as R1, R2, and R3 while the three levels of support are referred to as S1, S2, and S3. When the current price is trading above the daily pivot point, this serves as an indication to initiate long positions. Now let's get into the first strategy for using pivot points in Forex trading – the 70 – 80 percent rule. This statistical rule says: The middle pivot point (also known as the main pivot point) is reached by the price in 70 – 80 percent of the cases during the trading session.

I could be a presenter on the stage in the onsite environment and I could be having a conversation with a virtual presenter who is on the other side of the world – just like you see on the TV news with the news anchor in the studio and the reporter in the field," says EventsAIR CEO Trevor Gardiner.
The result? A harmonious, high-quality experience for both virtual and in-person audiences, an elevated AV production capability, and a massive budget saving versus outsourced AV services.
Placing Event Managers in the Driver's Seat
Imagine being able to control all onsite and online program components from one easy-to-use platform.
The all-new Remote Device Management architecture of the suite gives event producers the ability to deploy and drive onsite PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras, as well as integrate audio feeds and remote projectors using the patented EventsAIR real-time, no-lag streaming sync technology.
The cost of outsourcing these session recordings in a traditional way would have required camera operating and mixing crew in every room – for an event hosting multiple concurrent sessions, these staffing costs can quickly escalate. The EventsAIR platform removes the need for expensive outsourced services by providing professional quality and cost-effective in-house solutions, plus all the support and training new users need to upskill fast.
"The technology is so simple that meeting planners can actually control the cameras back in their offices rather than our people doing it, which is another cost saving," says Mr. Gardiner.
Bridging the Gap between In-Person and Virtual
In-person, virtual, or something in-between? EventsAIR has ensured all delegates are catered to with The Event App.
From live streams, discussion forums and Q&A's, to live polling, gamification and breakouts, The Event App ensures users can fully participate from anywhere, at any time, on any device, placing the best of your hybrid event in the palm of users' hands.
It's 'Future-Proof'
Mr. Gardiner says smart event organizers are developing contingencies from the very start.
"Having a hybrid strategy in place ensures that if there were sudden lockdowns anywhere in the world precluding some blocks of delegates from attending, those delegates can still participate."
While the future of events remains unpredictable, there's no doubt that preparation plus expanded and integrated capabilities remain the best options to successful results in the dynamic events space. Having created the most comprehensive, seamless, and cost-effective toolkit on the market, EventsAIR is the partner you need to help propel your hybrid events to greater heights.

In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was taken out of the Louver. Quickly after, Pablo Picasso was detained and questioned by the authorities, however was released rapidly.
It took about 2 years until the mystery was fixed by the Parisian authorities. It ended up that the 30 × 21 inch painting was taken by one of the museum employees by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who just brought it hidden under his coat. Peruggia did not work alone. The criminal offense was thoroughly conducted by a well-known con man, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent by an art faker who planned to make copies and offer them as if they were the original painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was hectic producing copies for the well-known work of art, Mona Lisa was still concealed at Peruggias home. After two years in which Peruggia did not speak with Chaudron, he attempted to make the very best from his stolen good. Eventually, Peruggia was captured by the police while attempting to sell the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was gone back to the Louver in 1913.
The biggest art theft in United States took location at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On the night of March 18, 1990, a group of thieves https://www.spokeo.com/Kurt-Criter using police uniforms broke into the museum and took thirteen paintings whose collective worth was approximated at around 300 million dollars. The burglars took 2 paintings and one print by Rembrandt, and works of Vermeer, Manet, Degas, Govaert Flinck, in addition to a French and a Chinese artifact.
The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is probably the most looked for after painting by art thieves in history. It has been taken twice and was just just recently recuperated. In 1994, throughout the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, The Scream was taken from an Oslo gallery by 2 thieves who broke through an open window, set off the alarm and left a note stating: thanks for the bad security.
Three months later, the holders of the painting approached the Norwegian Federal government with an offer: 1 million dollars ransom for Edvard Munchs The Scream. The Government denied the deal, but the Norwegian cops worked together with the British Authorities and the Getty Museum to arrange a sting operation that brought back the painting to where it belongs.
10 years later on, The Scream was stolen again from the Munch Museum. This time, the robbers used a gun and took another of Munchs painting with them. While Museum authorities waiting for the thieves to demand ransom loan, rumors claimed that both paintings were burned to hide evidence. Ultimately, the Norwegian cops discovered the two paintings on August 31, 2006 but the facts on how they were recuperated are unknowned yet.
When you look at the some of the most popular cases of art thefts in history, you see completely prepared operations that include art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars.

I think the amount of breeding required for this event is excessive. We need 214 Energy drinks to complete section 1. We have a 50-50 chance of winning one with each required type of breeding (reptiles). Even if we are lucky enough to win the coin flip on each breeding, that's 214 reptile breedings (428 PF) at a minimum. If our luck is bad, it's an even higher requirement for PF.

I love breeding events, and I am in on this one, but I do agree with the general consensus indicated above and elsewhere in the forum, that the requirements are a little high. Starting with the fact that it's a non-standard animal, and therefore not everyone has good numbers, and it's a LOT of PF. Now, I remember when there were no discount days, and we didn't have the availability of PF from crates and other rewards, but there also were not the constant events requiring breeding, so I personally have no issue with the increased demand because we also have the increased supply - but in general, the requirements when weighed against the rewards in this event, as a little unbalanced.

I usually like breeding events. However, on this one the odds of getting the energy drinks and the amount of PF needed was excessive I luckily had the resources to finish. Also, this has been mentioned many times we are getting tired of back-to-back events. We need a few days between events so we can restock our regular crops. | 2022/05/28 16:22:41 | https://board-en.farmerama.com/threads/born-to-skate.42087/#post-278568 | mC4 | en |

Enthusiasm – Secrets to Hosting a Successful MLM Conference Call
Greeting with Enthusiasm
You're the greeter, the news, recognition, introducer, closer. As the host of a call, you set the tone. I find that many people that are asked to do the welcoming on calls think of it as a burden, or as a task that newbie's do. Sometimes leaders think that this is a task that can be accomplished by anyone on the team. The hard reality is that it takes a professional and the good news is that this can be learned very quickly.
You are required as the host to keep the tone upbeat, high energy and moving. Let me explain. When people dial in, there is the typical language that is used for most calls… as the Host you say, "Welcome to the call, please state your name and where you are calling in from." After they share the info, your response sets the tone. You want to Thank them for being on the call, and let them know about how long till the call is going to start.
Now it's important that you also have the events that will be taking place over the next few weeks, local event, corporate events, team events. You want to use this as fill-in info before the call starts. It's important to have this information so you can let the callers, as well as the guests know what is happening to help them build their business.
Have the dates, locations, times, and let them know why they should attend as well as why bring guests. Let the guests on the call know when the next Getting Started call takes place, and what it's about. Now don't spend 3 straight minutes on stringing all this info together, keep welcoming people and where there are a few second of "no beeps" you can fill in with the event info. After you give the info on events, you return to "I know we had a bunch of beeps while I was updating, if you have not had the chance to give us your name and location please share… "
Then it comes time to introduce the presenter, have their story, and if you do not know it, make sure you get a script from them so that you give them the edification they deserve so it also brings the most value to the call.
The close is your chance to give the action steps that everyone should take. Distributors should bring guests to the next call, give dates and times. Guests should get on the next call with their own guests, and also they should attend the Getting Started call to explode their business. Why everyone should attend the next local event, or corporate event. If you have an out of town guest coming into an area, this should also be spotlighted. These are just some quick points to make the call the best it can be.

Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down: Is it time to move on from Atiba Harris? - Big D Soccer
Good Guy Atiba has been a steady player but he hasn't always been the best.
By Drew Epperley@wvhooligan Nov 8, 2017, 10:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down: Is it time to move on from Atiba Harris?
The offseason deep dive into the roster continues on today as we look at another veteran player for FC Dallas. Up today, we look at Atiba Harris.
What Atiba brings to the table
Ever since FC Dallas re-acquired Atiba Harrs in the 2014 Re-Entry Draft, he has been one of those players that fans either love or hate. Oscar Pareja converted him from being a striker in the team back in 2010 to a winger, to a full back...and then to a center back in 2017.
Harris is that utility player that will literally play anywhere Pareja tells him to and in a pinch can do a pretty solid job as a result.
He appeared in 28 games this season, making 21 starts with two goals and two assists. About the type of production you'd expect out of a defender really.
For a veteran player that can be slotted in almost anywhere, his $155k salary isn't that bad of a hit on the books. Sure, you'd like a little more bang for the buck but I think Harris gives you what you pay for here.
I know folks love to hate on Atiba but he is a great locker room guy to have around. I lump him in the same boat as a Chris Seitz as the type of veteran you want to have on your team. I think if the depth can truly get rebuilt in the offseason, Harris would be a great option to have off the bench for the heat of the summer and those late fall games where the team needs a closer in the back. | 2022/07/01 07:16:25 | https://www.bigdsoccer.com/2017/11/8/16622896/thumbs-up-thumbs-atiba-harris-fc-dallas | mC4 | en |
Nikon D750, are my expectations too high? (Sharpness): Nikon FX SLR (DF, D1-D5, D600-D850) Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review
Nikon D750, are my expectations too high? (Sharpness)
FroZebra • New Member • Posts: 19
Hey guys! I recently moved to a Nikon D750 from a Fuji X-T2. Although I love the little Fuji, I wanted full frame for the myriad of cheaper, still decent quality lenses and full frame route, since that's what I normally see most pros using, which I assume is probably for a reason, and I wouldn't want a sensor to limit my image quality.
However, I'm not one to drink the Kool-aid without seeing first-hand any alleged differences. I haven't had too much time to test the two head to head, but I'm not noticing much of a gain in sharpness moving to the Nikon so far.
The two combinations are the Nikon D750 with a 50mm 1.8G and the Fuji X-T2 with a 35mm 1.4. The two have similar focal range, but on my tests, the Nikon has been showing some sharpness issues. Am I looking too deeply into this? I wanted to get your opinions if it's some kind of faulty camera or lens, since the return window is coming up.
Are my expectations too high for what I think the Nikon sharpness should be? If you have any experience with this, what is the best sharpness I can hope for around the $1100 budget, used market included? Is it me? Or is this the sharpest this camera/lens combo will do?
Here's (Link) one sample image from a rudimentary test I took last night, sick as a dog, following the gym. Notice the eyebrow hairs are a bit fuzzy. This is the sharpest image of the bunch that I took with these settings. I'll be testing it further tonight when I get home from work and the gym, but my flash system is Fuji so I'll try to jerry-rig the flash as a slave and see what I can do. | 2019/03/18 14:12:31 | https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62339715 | mC4 | en |

Hot Section: hartzell propeller gets stc for turbine engine composite prop
- November 30, 2010, 10:09 AM
Hartzell Propeller has received an FAA type certificate for its new advanced-composite ASC-II four-blade propeller. It is the company's first
ASC-II propeller developed for turboprop aircraft.
Hartzell developed its first composite blade in 1978 principally out of aramid fiber. According to the company, it was the first composite propeller ever certified by the FAA.
"We conducted a significant general aviation market analysis and found that the demand was there for a high-performance, lower-horsepower-compatible composite propeller," said Mike Disbrow, Hartzell's senior v-p of marketing and customer services. The company then developed a second-generation blade design it calls the ASC-II.
Hartzell's new four-blade, 93-inch-diameter ASC-II advanced composite propeller features a lightweight aluminum hub that Disbrow said will weigh 30 pounds less than an equivalent metal-blade propeller.
The year-long testing program included endurance, fatigue, lightning strike, bird strike and propeller vibration testing. According to the company, the positive test results garnered FAA certification for an unlimited fatigue life.

Zoho to automatically import Uber for Business receipts into Zoho Expense.
Zoho announced that it will automatically import Uber for Business trip receipts into Zoho Expense, its expense reporting and tracking software. With direct integration between the Uber and Zoho apps, business travelers no longer need to manually forward Uber receipts to Zoho Expense. Instead, Uber users worldwide will be able to select Zoho Expense from the Uber app, and their receipts will be automatically added to Zoho Expense reports to streamline tracking and reimbursement.
"Millions of employees at more than 65,000 organizations rely on Uber for safe, reliable ground transportation when traveling for business across the globe. Providing the ability for these business riders to automatically submit their receipts for reimbursements is a logical step forward in making trips more seamless. Thanks to our partnership with Zoho Expense, riders no longer have to sift through their email or wallet for receipts," said Arjun Nohwar, Head of Uber for Business for APAC.
"Zoho and Uber are committed to making business simple for our customers," said Sridhar Vembu, CEO of Zoho Corporation. "Simplifying expense reporting of Uber rides is a reflection of that commitment. After a long business trip, the last thing travelers want to do is dig through their inboxes for Uber receipts. With Zoho Expense and Uber, they won't have to."
Zoho Expense will be available to Uber app users with a business profile in early September under two subscription plans: the free plan and the standard plan of Rs. 900/month for 10 users. | 2018/11/14 21:57:47 | http://www.cio.in/media-releases/zoho-integrates-uber-business-simplify-expense-reporting | mC4 | en |
Tight Budget Menu - Tea with Kids
April 22, 2017 Tea
I frequently get asked how we feed our family on our tight budget. I always explain that I plan and really pay attention to meat sales. Also we don't buy many packaged food stuffs or pre-made meals. So here is an actual menu from a recent week. I spent about $40 for our family of four, including paper products and household supplies. A few things to consider …
1.Chicken leg quarters were on sale for $0.39/pound for a 10 pound pack at a local shop – $3.90!! An amazing deal.
2. We have leftovers (about two meals worth) from a huge pork loin in the freezer that I bought when it was on sale for $2.99 / pound a couple of weeks ago.
3.We get lots of fresh veggies and fruit – usually whatever is in season plus a few "standards" like carrots, celery, brocolli, onions, etc.
4. We drink mostly water, tea or iced tea.
5. Breakfasts are usually oatmeal, toast or cold cereal with fresh fruit. Sometimes eggs when they are on sale.
6. Lunches are usually sandwiches with soup (homemade chicken noodle or tomato) plus veggie sticks and ranch dressing.
7. We have fresh fruit, veggie sticks, popcorn (air popped) and bake for snacks.
8. It can seem a bit boring and repetitive but it helps us through when we are tight.
Here are the dinners with recipes:
Crockpot Chicken with Rice & Veggies
2 to 3 pounds of chicken (breast, thigh or tenderloin – whatever is on sale)
Place chicken on bottom of crockpot, season with Italian Seasoning, salt & pepper. Place sliced onions over chicken. Cook on low for four to six hours or high for 2 to 3 hours, until cooked through. Save half pound to whole pound for leftovers.
Make Rice and steam veggies (frozen, fresh, whatever kind on hand) and serve with chicken.
After making above Crockpot Chicken recipe keep broth, onions and 1 /2 pound leftover chicken (or more) in crockpot. Shred or chop chicken and return to crockpot. Add 1 /2 cup to 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 /2 cup to 1 cup chopped celery, and 2 to 3 cups water (or chicken broth if on hand). Cook on low 3 to 4 hours or high for 1 hour. Let cool and put into container(s). Make favorite noodles, reheat soup and serve over noodles.
Spaghetti with Homemade Sauce & Salad
1 /2 cup shredded carrots
leftover meat if have on hand – chicken, pork or hamburger
Mix tomato sauce, spinach, carrots, onions, seasoning, salt & pepper (and leftover meat) in a sauce pan. Add 1 /2 cup of water or chicken broth (if on hand) to pan, mix and simmer until veggies are tender. Serve over spaghetti noodles and a side salad.
Tacos with whatever meat (chicken, pork, hamburger, beef)
1 pound hamburger OR leftover meat if on hand
1 /2 head lettuce, shredded
(Any other taco topping your family likes)
Enough favorite taco shells for each person (we like flour tortillas for soft tacos)
Cook meat and add taco seasoning to taste. We serve this meal as a taco bar, each topping in a small container or bowl. Each person can make their tacos how they like.
Whichever pancake recipe you like, fresh fruit to top or have on the side. We might have eggs also if they are on sale.
Ginger Garlic Stir-Fry with Rice
1 to 2 pounds meat (chicken, pork or beef – whichever is on sale or if have leftover)
1 /2 cup bell pepper, chopped (can be green, red, orange, yellow or combination)
1 /2 teaspoon ground ginger OR 1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 – 2 teaspoons minced garlic OR 1 /2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 /2 cup to 1 cup water or chicken broth (depends if like watery or thick sauce)
Heat oil in frying pan to brown meat. Add onions, brocolli, carrots and peppers. Mix ginger, garlic, soy sauce and water/broth in a small bowl. Pour over meat and veggies in pan. Simmer for 10 minutes or until veggies are tender. Serve over rice.
Left-Over Salad Bowl
1 to 2 Heads Lettuce, shredded – depends on family size
Left over chopped veggies from previous meals
Left over chopped meat from previous meals
Left over rice from previous meals or make rice
If on hand – shredded cheese, salsa, cottage cheese
Chop any other veggies like to have on salads. Put lettuce in individual bowls, add rice (cold or warmed, whichever prefer), add meat (cold or warmed, whichever prefer), add veggies, add cheese. Serve with favorite salsa, salad dressing, vinegarette, or Mustard Dressing (equal parts mustard, olive oil, and vinegar – add Italian Seasoning, salt & pepper to taste – put in container and mix/shake/blend well). | 2018/02/22 10:44:22 | http://teawithkids.com/tight-budget-menu/ | mC4 | en |
United States Japanese Internment Camps | Travel and Adventure
one of the Japanese. in the United States. Apparently Carl Higbie, a spokesman for a super PAC that backed President-elect Donald Trump, has not learned the lesson. During an appearance Wednesday.
A Donald Trump supporter cited the United States' use of Japanese internment camps during World War II as precedent for implementing a registry of Muslim immigrants in an interview on Fox News.
In 1942, Roosevelt delivered an executive order that sent Japanese-Americans — many of them families that had been settled in the United States for generations — to so-called internment camps.

Spectrum Development How Development of Spectrum Happens Several ideas and ideologies have already been brought up over the last to spell out the way the rain fall is created. Even with this all, in inescapable fact it remains to be to create a clever indicating to detailing how this wonderful aspect occurs about./personal-statement Spectrum is nothing but a curved beam of light source that comes from a white-colored gentle that goes by by way of a raindrop and refracted on account of the unfinished representation of mild. It is not a set framework but forms only if light-weight and water declines fulfill at a particular slope suspended within the living space the place lumination partly goes from the bad weather droplet even while other section resembled additionally, the left over refracted. It is simply a refraction of gentle that types a brilliant variety spreading during to make a bow like structure with seven shades inside the structure of pink, orange, yellowish, green, blue colored, indigo and violet. It can be only observable if the observer is at along side it in the light-weight, (Legal system, Philpott & Radford, 2007) Rainbows commonly develops any time a light-weight shower area along with a sun light satisfies and a position where exactly brightness from conclusion moves on the raindrops with unsuccessful complete representation which unfortunately refracts gentle in an slope of 420, (Boal, 2012).It can be notably that limited to this exceptional viewpoint that lightweight is intensively refracted beyond your raindrop developing a colorful group of friends that is as a result of continuous representation derived from one of droplet to the other from a persistent point of view of 420. Even so the rainfall declines vary from just one capacity for the other a better representation is plainly accomplished in the event the raindrops are smaller creating a obviously coloured bow-formed design (key rainbow). It can be in this case that ray angles some of the accident and refracted at an accurate position of 420, (Boal, 2012). Based on the refractive index of this brightness, through the entire normal water droplet, the dispersion of lumination is sent to the observer allowing a methodical buy for the colorations as pointed out earlier mentioned. Thanks to this benefit of lighting despression symptoms the different wavelength of different colorings lead to a color separation starting with the faster wavelength color on the within the as talking about the exterior, (Legislation, Philpott & Radford, 2007). Because the wavelength with the red colors in this extended, it really is mapped to the outside a part of the arc with violet to the within the. Even though it is assumed a spectrum is certainly not created from seven shades only but a number of, its assumed that the recognizable colorings are those whose wavelengths have got a significantly differing distance within the other.
Ever since the planet orbits on its axis in the course of across the sunlight, the instruction of light relating to the droplets alters thus replacing the positioning of the spectrum. This consequently results in a express by which the precipitation lowers and also the light source meet another direction which resulting to development of several rainbows, twined, complete circle, supernumerary with all kinds of other styles of rainbows depending on the slope of brightness with its dispersion from the marketing. Inspite of the various types it will eventually normally assume precisely the same form of a bow (a part of the group of friends) however the shade of its refracted brightness might possibly transform caused by replacing angles of representation compromising its wavelength, (Mangieri, 2001). | 2021-11-27T18:25:13Z | http://www.uttaramotorsltd.com/spectrum-development-189/ | OSCAR-2201 | en |
russian volume lashes with private packaging ★MIIS Lashes
When it comes to getting your russian volume lashes back, one of the most important things to remember is that your actions (what you say and what you do) won't soon be forgotten. In fact, it may be the deciding factor when it comes to rekindling the relationship or not.
Eenki Immediately following the breakup, when emotions are running high, it's often tempting to lash out and hurt the other person – especially if you're the one who has been dumped. The temptation to get your own back against someone who hurt you so badly is extremely tempting. Add to this, the fact that you're not making any progress, and you're operating on pure emotion – it really is a recipe for disaster.
In fact, many relationships are permanently damaged after the fallout from a bad breakup.
If you're the type of person who has a short fuse or becomes extremely russian volume lashes, it might be a good idea not to communicate with your ex at all. If there is a good chance that you're going to lose your composure and say something you'll regret, the only choice you really have is to stay well clear.
After the dust has settled and the emotions have subsided, your russian volume lashes will likely hold you in high regard and admire your restraint. In fact, they may even wonder why you chose not to make a scene. This could, in fact, stir up a little curiosity and desire on their part. You've maintained an air of mystery.
Doesn't that sound better than completely losing your self-control and saying things in a hateful manner? What could you possibly have to gain besides a few seconds of self gratification by lashing out?
Most relationships can be saved after a breakup, but few ever are. That's because critical russian volume lashes are made in the days following the split. In fact, you're probably making those very mistakes right now without realizing it.

Threaded Inserts For Thin MaterialThe Auveco Thin Sheet Nutsert has been designed to provide a highly efficient method of securing threads from one side of the work in materials generally too thin to support threads. Its performance has been proven in plastic, aluminum, mild steel and fiberglass withstanding high loads without vibrating or loosening under extreme operating conditions. The Auveco Thin Sheet Nutsert is a tension fastener with high pull out, insuring no rotation or vibration where a cover plate is used. The system's unique blind tooling installs TSNs at consistent rates using unskilled labor.How It WorksThe Thin Sheet Nutsert, held securely by the tool, is placed into a prepared hole. Upon the tool's actuation, the threaded portion is pulled until the fastener's wall collapses radially outward, clinching it tight against the sheet.The tool is withdrawn, leaving the Thin Sheet Nutsert ready to receive a bolt or screw. This complete operation takes only a few seconds and can be performed by anyone.Strength Tests: Torque Strength -With an attaching part over the Thin Sheet Nutsert, offering a bearing surface,the TSN will remain intact past the point of the screw or bolt breaking (head torqued off). In almost all cases the threads of the TSN will remain undistorted and serviceable -an exception to this statement is when an extremely high tensile bolt is used.Material: 1010 Low Carbon Steel, Type 11 Class 3 with Zinc Plate, Clear ChromateRecommended Grip Range: .040-.200"To Set Nutserts Use Tool A11805 & Conversion KitsThread Size: 5/16"-18 U.S.S.Dimensions:A: Max. .499"B: Max. .720"D: Ref. .540"Hole Size: .500-.504"Drill Size: 1/2"25 Per Package

Socket Weld Flange | A105 | Raised Face | 150# | SCH: STD | NOM: 3"
Product Features: Socket Weld flanges were initially developed for use on small-size high pressure piping. Their static strength is equal to Slip On flanges, but their fatigue strength 50% greater than Slip On flanges. The connection with the pipe is done with one fillet weld at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange and the end pipe. ASME B31.1 1998 127.3 Preparation for Welding (E) Socket Weld Assembly says: In assembly of the joint before welding, the pipe or tube shall be inserted into the socket to the maximum depth and then withdrawn approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm) away from contact between the end of the pipe and the shoulder of the socket. The purpose for this bottoming clearance in a Socket Weld is to reduce the residual stress at the root of the weld that could occur during solidification of the weld metal. The image shows you the X measure for the expansion gap. The disadvantage of this flange is due to this gap. In piping system using mainly stainless steel pipe and corrosive products, the crack between pipe and flange can give corrosion problems.

More Than Enough Reasons to Visit Redondo Beach, California - But Wait, There's More - Tripatini
Posted by William Annis Davis on August 11, 2012 at 6:00pm
Story and photos by Mary Gallagher Next time you see one of those special airfare sales to LAX or are there on business seriously think about visiting lovely Redondo Beach for a few days. Just a 7-10 minute cab ride from the airport opens a whole world of relaxation and fun and a number of beach side hotels. Best of all you won't even need a car. Redondo Beach with its population of fewer than 70,000, its Redondo Beach Pier, International Boardwalk, and soft Redondo sand, is a wonderful place to visit. On the second day you'll start thinking of moving your family here. Many of the regular "tourists" are from less than 100 miles away.
Here you can find every type of restaurant, from fast food to fine dining, from pizza to steak and seafood. We stopped for appetizers and drinks at Old Tony's on the pier; a family owned and operated restaurant and bar opened in the 1950's. Tony's originally opened in a small shack of a building, in 1961; he expanded the dining room with a lower patio area with sliding glass windows. Then in 1963 he expanded yet again to include the Top o' Tony's Bar above the restaurant, which has a view from Palos Verdes to Santa Monica. It's one of those beach style restaurants with lots of wood and celebrity photos that everyone loves. At Christmas, the annual boat parade rides right by and during the summer months on Thursday and Saturdays, the pier hosts its very own Summer Concert Series, free to the public with performances by local and national music acts. Adjacent to the pier is the International Boardwalk with a continuation of seafood storefronts and bars right in the marina.
We had a pleasant stay at the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina and found it convenient for walking to most everything we wanted to do. They have a large out door pool deck, tennis court and 25,000 sq ft of meeting space and a convenient business center. We were able to have breakfast one day in their Splash Bistro but missed the European Day Spa. The hotel offers complimentary use of the nearby Gold's Gym. The few times we ventured afar it was an inexpensive cab ride. Our rooms were fine but the hotel is undergoing a full renovation and will be all non-smoking after this summer. In the thick of it all and just steps from the hotel is the seaside lagoon. The lagoon is an ideal location for family outings seven days a week. It is a safe environment with a heated saltwater swimming pool, sand beach, volleyball courts, children's play equipment, and cabanas. It is the perfect beach setting for families who enjoy fun in the sun. Tucked away off Harbor Drive this family friendly environment comes complete with its own lifeguard crew and barbeque pit, providing a safe environment for swimmers and sunbathers alike. It's also the location of spectacular 4th of July fireworks and the annual Lobster festival and owned and managed by the city of Redondo Beach. Although we didn't have any children with us and ran out of time to visit the seaside lagoon, when walking nearby you could hear squeals of laughter and knew it was a fun place.
My friend and I decided to take the Looking Glass semi-submarine, moored right at the pier, in hopes of spotting exotic fish or other sea creatures. Well their website states that if you're a scuba diver you might be disappointed by the "fish show" but little kids seemed to love it. It seems a little hokey when they only drive out a short distance then throw fish food in the water and a lot of similar looking fish come over to eat it. You do get to see some sea lions but if it was me and for the money I'd send one parent with the grade school age kids and have everyone else wait on the pier. I'm not a surfer but we were told it's a serene coastline between the Redondo Beach Pier and Palos Verdes Peninsula that provides novice and advanced surfers with the best waves. There is a long history of surfing here. One evening we were lucky enough to meet up with Mitch Chang, owner of Kala Koa Entertainment and the producer/creator of four landmark annual festival events: the Southern California Slack Key Festival, the Aloha Falsetto Festival, the Los Angeles Flamenco Festival and the upcoming Los Angeles Guitar Festival all world-class performance events.
Slack Key Festival Oceanfront Photography http://www.kalakoa.com /
The majority of Kala Koa live events are held at the beautiful Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, home to state-of-the-art sound and lighting Systems, computerized climate-control and plentiful free parking. We had a wonderful evening here at the Performing Arts Center soaking up Hawaiian dancing and music with an full house of enthusiastic fans. It was a fairly new experience in music venues for us and we loved the variety and talent that night. A great show that started on time and kept us entertained for hours. Producer Mitchell Chang is also an accomplished and well-known ukulele and Hawaiian slack key guitar instructor and performer himself always coming up with great perfomrance ideas.. www.kalakoa.com We're here in southern California so one should be able to get fantastic Mexican food and we did at Ortega 120 a great Mexican restaurant with lots of accolades all well deserved we discovered from our dinner and lethal tequila tasting. Led by the knowledgeable and effervescent co owner Demi Stevens aka Tequila Expert, she and Thomas Ortega — a veteran of the kitchens of Water Grill, Lucques and Patina — have opened this wonderful restaurant in Redondo Beach.
The sprawling bar is stocked with a breathtaking array of premium tequila and our tasting included most of them! I never knew it could be so smooth and good. The dining room is painted in south of the border bright colors and the walls hung with folk art from all of Mexico. There is also a patio. While we were visiting several large groups were celebrating various occasions and after sampling quite a few dishes I would request eating here for my birthday too. There's even live music several nights a week. The kitchen uses house made chorizo and make their own tortillas as well as careful sourcing of other ingredients. Because we were also a large group, I was able to test many of the main courses and every one was a winner. We had tacos with chicken, beef, shrimp and several other entrees. Plus wonderful freshly made guacamole and if you're looking for real modern takes try the Ahi tuna taco with roasted corn and fresh mango.
But my favorite of all time was the dessert of freshly made churros, which I learned to love in Spain, here it's served with a chocolate dipping sauce. In Redondo Beach, Ortega 120 is one place you want to be sure and visit. http://www.ortega120.com The city is flanked by a county path threading along 27 miles of oceanfront fromTorrance Beach to Santa Monica so everybody walks, bikes or skates inRedondo Beach. We did a lot of walking but the Visitors Bureau has information on a tour that can be safely enjoyed, by traveling on city streets or the South Bay Bicycle Trail and pedestrian walkway wearing your skates, riding a bike or walking. A great way to develop your Southern California body!
One evening we had an excellent dinner at one of Redondo Beach's landmarks The Portofino Hotel and Yacht Clubs restaurant Baleen Los Angeles. The Portofino is steps from the Pier and 27-mile oceanfront path. We were able to peek into some waterfront rooms at the hotel and you are really on the water and can almost reach out and touch it! Although I did not stay here they have good reviews on sites like tripadvisor.com www.HotelPortofino.com. We barely scratched the surface so here are some more ideas.

It's easy to dismiss someone like Unai Emery right off the bat, mainly because nobody knows that much about him. Sure, he's considered to be a hot commodity due to his reputation stemming from Sevilla and PSG, but beyond that, Arsenal fans have no frame of reference regarding how he'll do in English football. However, there's a trait of his which runs throughout his entire career – and nobody seems to be focusing on it yet.
The 46-year-old comes across as a guy who sets his mind on something and then executes his plan in the best way possible, which is a smart way to position yourself as a manager. While some guys his age have spent most of their time in one country in order to feel familiar with the system in place, Emery has experience around Europe which could prove to be invaluable.
As we all know he kicked things off in Spain, spending nearly a decade honing his craft in order to build up the confidence necessary to go out and test his hand elsewhere. That takes guts at the best of times, and while things didn't exactly go to plan when he went over to Russia, the fact that he took the jump proves that he's been there and done it when it comes to being unprepared. Needless to say, he didn't make that mistake again.
After heading back to Spain, he once again took a leap of faith by going to France and leading PSG to success. It may seem like we're just leading out a list of his accomplishments and nothing more, but in reality, there's more to it than that. He understands the mentality you need to have in order to go into a new country and grow as a manager, which is why we think he's well suited to take over from Arsene Wenger.
Plus, and this can't be understated, he's said to be relatively similar to Pep Guardiola who has already praised his jump to English football. If he can learn from Pep and harness his skills in North London, then Arsenal fans are in for a treat.
Do you believe Unai Emery going to have a strong first season?

Confident Al Faisal qualifies seventh at Monza - Muscat Daily
Confident Al Faisal qualifies seventh at Monza
Al Faisal al Zubair gets ready for the qualifying session on Saturday
Prior to the start of the eighth round of the 2019 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at the famed Monza circuit in Italy, Oman's Al Faisal al Zubair had admitted his liking for the track.
And a sensational late lap of 1min 49.593sec during the qualifying session on Saturday got the Omani racer a seventh spot among the registered drivers for the race, giving him a good chance for a top-seven finish.
Australia's Jaxon Evans claimed a last gasp run of 1min 49.252sec to pip Turkey's Ayhancan Güven to pole position.
A delighted Al Faisal said, "It was a very good qualifying session for me. I am very happy with P7 at Monza. As I said before, it is a track that I enjoy and the qualifying proved my consistency during the qualifying sessions this year.
"I have been in the top-seven for most of the races and can be happy with that. Hopefully, I can keep a good position tomorrow. There is generally a lot of drama at Monza. I need to stay out of the drama and finish the race and get good points. That would be ideal. There is a forecast of rains but I am prepared for that."
Al Faisal was down at the foot of the rankings and had his work cut out to move up the leaderboard with 22 minutes of the 30 remaining in the session.
Evans hit the front on the third of the full laps with a run of 1min 49.798sec, as Al Faisal climbed to 17th with his fastest lap so far of 1min 50.744sec.
The leading group made their way back on to the circuit with around 11 minutes of the session to run and pole position would be determined in the last five. Güven maintained his advantage from Evans, as Al Faisal climbed to 16th with a lap of 1min 50.416sec.
A stunning lap of 1min 49.593sec catapulted the Omani to fourth, but he was soon passed by Joey Mawson.
Al Faisal held fifth as the clock ticked down but Evans grabbed the advantage at the death with a 1min 49.252sec to push him down to sixth place. That final lap was enough to give the Australian pole position, with Al Faisal happy to have qualified in sixth. But the results were changed following the stewards decision and it pushed the Omani down to seventh.
Earlier, during Friday's practice session, Al Faisal ran for 20 laps and a best tour of 1min 51.189sec to be slotted into 12th place. | 2019/09/22 18:59:18 | https://m.muscatdaily.com/Archive/Sports/Confident-Al-Faisal-qualifies-seventh-at-Monza-5fmm | mC4 | en |

I would just like to see wavesecure lock up my phone upon the boot of the device prompting the user to enter the PIN. When I put the phone to sleep I do not want wavesecure to re-enable that lock when I wake it back up, only on device boot. I voted 3 times, thank you for looking into this issue.

but since there is an app unistall thing would this bypass the way the whole goes... so if i reset my phone there is no security?

I would like this option to lock on startup also, I thought it was default in this app, after experimenting a while in my Milestone I noticed that it was not available.
ashok.soni commented · January 18, 2010 04:07 · Flag as inappropriate
First I would like to reply to Roy.. that there should be an option to lock the phone whenever we want to, either by selecting or by sending an sms to that no..
And Prashst.,
Wavesecure shouldnt be in ROM to stop users doing a factory reset, just give an option to block "#" key and the option in settings to do a manual factory reset.., that way only the authorized user would have the access to first disable these settings from Wavesecure settings and then he can do a factory reset..

Once again, if this was made into a system app, then problem solved - factory reset would NOT alter it.

AAUGH.com: Schulz gone a month now… – The AAUGH Blog
You are receiving this newsletter because someone (presumably you) submitted your email address for it. If you are receiving this in error, just drop us a quick note and we'll gladly take you off the list. ————————————————-
ONE MONTH AGO TODAY, the final Peanuts strip came out. One month ago yesterday, Sparky passed away. It's easy at a time like this to focus on what we've lost, and that loss is significant. In the long run, we should strive to recall what it was we had. No one talks about Mark Twain saying "how tragic that he died!" anymore. Instead, they talk about how wonderful it was that he had been alive, and about how they enjoy the work that he left behind. In time, we'll feel the same way about Schulz.
*BOOKS BACK IN STOCK!
*A GOLDEN CELEBRATION STILL CHEAP
*EXPANDING THE COLLECTOR'S GUIDE
*SCHULZ FANS HAVE BEEN CHARITABLE
*ODD PEANUTS BOOK: THE SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT
*WHY ORDER THROUGH AAUGH.COM?
BOOKS BACK IN STOCK This has been a good week for Peanuts books coming back in stock. Perhaps most importantly, both of the black-and-white Andrews & McMeel collections of strips. Being A Dog Is A Full Time Job has strips from 1989, while Make Way For The King Of The Jungle has more strips from 1989 and heads into 1990.
Also, all four of the Peanuts Treasury books collection strips from the 1990s are currently available. A Kiss On The Nose Turns Anger Aside, reprinting strips from 1962-1963, is also now available (this book is a reprint of the old Holt paperback You Can Do It, Charlie Brown.) And the book of 1950s Snoopy strips What Makes You Think You're Happy (previously released simply as "Snoopy") is still available.
Charlie Brown: Not Your Average Blockhead is available again. This is one of a set of three carefully-designed books focusing on different characters (the other two, about Snoopy and Lucy, are currently on Special Order or Back Ordered status.) It's a hardcover book with a nice cover (we have a picture of the front cover on the site; the back cover is a picture of the back of Charlie Brown's head) and special features glued-in (like cardboard panels you flip open to reveal pictures, and a valentine's card.) This isn't a great deal if what you really want is a bunch of strips, but it makes a nice gift item for the Charlie Brown fan.
Also available again for quick shipping is Good Grief: The Story Of Charles M. Schulz. This is the best biography of Schulz that I've seen, treating him as a creator and a fully rounded person. It was produced with Schulz's cooperation. First published in 1989, it was updated with a new chapter in 1995.
All of these books can be ordered by clicking on them on the front page of http://AAUGH.com
A GOLDEN CELEBRATION STILL CHEAP
Since the beautiful hardcover Peanuts: A Golden Celebration is spending a second week on the best seller chart, we still have it available for half off. At $22.50, this is probably the best bargain we have on the site. It will be at this price through Thursday at least; I can't promise how long after that the price will stay this low. (I can't predict the best-seller list, sorry.)
EXPANDING THE COLLECTORS GUIDE
I've added a new page to the AAUGH.com Peanuts book collector's guide. This page takes a look at books that were published in Britain but not in the U.S. The page is still pretty rough; I'm gathering what information I can on it, but I just don't know as much about British books as I do about the U.S. editions. Expect to see this page expanding as I get more information (and more books! A friendly wave to the newsletter subscriber in South Africa who is helping hook me up with some of the British books I don't have!)
I've got some additional expansions to the guide already in the works.
SCHULZ FANS HAVE BEEN CHARITABLE
I recently got a letter from Canine Companions For Independence, one of Sparky's favorite charities, thanking me for a contribution that I had made in his name. Now here's the interesting thing: it was clearly a form letter aimed at people who had contributed in Schulz's name. That's a good sign that they're getting a lot of such contributions. For information on donating to some of the charities that Schulz supported, check out the AAUGH.com Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list.
ODD PEANUTS BOOK: THE SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT
In this issue's look at odd Peanuts books from my personal collection, we find an interesting little strip reprint book published by Determined Productions in 1970. It's part of a small series of hardback strip reprints, each 6 inches high and 4 inches wide. What makes this book odd? Well, first comes the strange title: It's Fun To Lie Here And Listen To The Sounds Of The Night!, which is appropriate because the whole book is nothing but strips about star-gazing. Next is the color scheme: rather than printing the strips in black-and-white, they're in black-and-blue, with purple edging! Then there is the layout of the strips; each strip is published across a two-page spread, two panels per page, and when you first open it it's not clear what order you read the panels in. If you're looking at the cartoon on pages 6 and 7, for example, you could read both panels on page 6 followed by both panels on page 7…
but you'd be wrong. The right way to read it is to read the top panel on page 6, then the top panel on page 7, then back to page 6 for the bottom panel, and finally the bottom panel on page 7. Just to keep this even more confusing is that the first couple strips actually still make sense if you read them in the wrong order, making it easy to assume that the wrong order is actually the right one!
WHY ORDER THROUGH AAUGH.COM?
Last week, someone asked me why folks should order through AAUGH.com. After all, since Amazon.com actually processes the order, why not order directly from them. Other folks rushed to my defense, but it was a fair question, and one that I was glad to answer.
First off, finding the Peanuts book, video, or CD you want is easier on AAUGH.com. We *know* Peanuts books, and we've orgazined them and tell you what they are. If you go through Amazon.com directly, they're not going to tell you that What Makes You Think You're Happy is all Snoopy strips from the 1950s, or that Beware Of The Snoring Ghost is a kid's storybook based on an actual storyline from the Peanuts strip. And no matter how many times you search for the name Schulz, Amazon.com will never point you to such obscure items as his introduction to Duane C. Barhart's Cartooning Basics. And if you have a question about the books, I think we can safely assume that Amazon doesn't have anyone on staff who knows Peanuts books as well as I do.
Secondly, by ordering through AAUGH.com, you support AAUGH.com. Don't get me wrong — we're not a charity, and we don't think anyone owes us anything. Still, AAUGH.com provides services such as the collector's guide and this newsletter. Whenever you order through us, we get a small cut (which comes out of Amazon's pocket; you don't get charged a penny more for ordering through us!) That cut helps cover the expenses of running the site, and encourages us to keep adding to it an expanding it. (And in case you're curious, this holds true even if what you're ordering is not in the AAUGH.com catalog. If you use our search box to find a book, or if you order another book at the same time as you're ordering something that you clicked on from our site, we get a cut of that as well (although we get a bigger cut on things you clicked on in our catalog.)
Thirdly, it's not true that you can get everything from Amazon.com that you can get through AAUGH.com. After all, we also have the Ultra-Discount Shop, which carries some books that Amazon no longer offers.
To sum up: AAUGH.com is easier to use, it has a larger selection of available books, we offer more help and answers to questions, and you support our guides, newsletter, and other features. All this for not one cent more than ordering through Amazon directly. Those sound like good reasons to me!
Things are beginning to steady out in the Peanuts books world. I hope to get the newsletter back down to its originally-planned monthly schedule soon.
Once more, let me thank all those who have recently sent nice messages about the newsletter and the site, and who have shared with me memories of how Peanuts has made them who they are today. I hope the Great Pumpkin comes to visit each and everyone one of you! | 2019/02/18 06:36:11 | http://aaugh.com/wordpress/2000/03/aaughcom-schulz-gone-a-month-now/ | mC4 | en |
Visit Missouri | Trip Ideas | Way of American Genius - Part 1
There's a lot to see and do along U.S. Highway 36 in Northern Missouri; the route spans the state and boasts an All-Star lineup of famous Missourians. From east to west, you find interesting sites and attractions related to author Mark Twain, animator Walt Disney, Gen. John J. Pershing, retailer J.C. Penney, and outlaw Jesse James. Oh, and did we mention the Home of Sliced Bread and the starting point for the Pony Express can be found along this route? No wonder it's been dubbed The Way of American Genius.
Explore the cave Author Mark Twain wrote about in five of his books, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. This is one of few labyrinth caves in the world where the passages form crisscross style patterns. Guided tours take about one hour.
Start your day with a literally adventure featuring one of America's most well-known authors, Mark Twain. Born Samuel Clemens in Florida, Missouri, Twain spent his boyhood in Hannibal and drew inspiration for some of his famous works from this Mississippi River town. The Boyhood Home and Museum features six historically significant buildings and two interactive museums. Tours are self-guided.
Located on the Disney Farm, this is the tree where Walt first began to draw. The barn is where he put on his first show business production. The Dreaming Tree is on the American Forests Register of Historic Trees.
Housing 3,000 artifacts received directly from Disney family members, the museum affords visitors a chance to see items never displayed anywhere else. (Allow about 90 minutes to drive from Hannibal to Marceline) | 2018/08/15 06:48:45 | https://www.visitmo.com/trip-ideas/way-of-american-genius-part-1 | mC4 | en |
Velocity Financial Planning | Warwickshire | Our fees
Our approach to fees differentiates us from many other financial planning businesses and it's something we're very proud of.
We think it's really important that you have a chance to get to know us, understand how we can help you and – more importantly – how we can add value to your life, before you part with any money.
For this reason, the first four stages of the process – getting to know you, identifying your goals, researching recommendations, and building your financial plan – are at our expense.
We are very unusual in not levying a charge for the creation of your financial plan. But we don't believe it's fair to ask you to part with money unless you can see that what we're proposing is good value and will help you achieve your aims.
What will you be asked to pay for?
We charge fees for the implementation of a financial plan and for our ongoing services in supporting you to achieve the goals set out in that plan.
Those stages of the process are charged as:
Implementation: A one-off implementation fee
Ongoing services: An ongoing fee
At your first meeting with us, once we have had a chance to get a really clear understanding of your needs and the complexity and scope of the work you'd like us to undertake, we will provide you with a complete breakdown of the costs of that work.
We regularly check we're competitively priced and, we're delighted to say, we are.
We also know, however, taking those first steps can be daunting. Please be assured, we never agree to undertake work where we do not feel strongly that the value we can add more than outweighs the cost of our service. When it comes to implementation, we're confident you won't feel worried about the cost.
We hold particularly strong feelings on this… absolutely, yes! But I guess you could say, we would say that, wouldn't we! Our enthusiasm comes from the fact we see the positive results of our work every day. We know that personalised financial planning has the ability to transform lives, deliver financial freedom and enable clients to live comfortable, fulfilled and secure lives.
You may also be interested to know that recent studies back us up on this, showing that financial planning brings both financial and emotional gains for people who engage with it. Households that received advice ended up between 16% and 21% better off than those that didn't1 and clients who were engaged in ongoing financial planning overwhelmingly reported an improvement in their emotional wellbeing and sense of security about the future2.

Kubilai Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, was the commander of the Mongol forces responsible for the conquest of China; he became khagan in 1260. Kubilai Khan founded the Yuan Dynasty. Batu, the ruler of the Golden Horde of the dynasty, another grandson of Genghis Khan, was responsible for the invasion of Russia beginning in 1236. The Mongol rule over China was overbearing, while the Mongol rule over Russia was more disengaged. The political impact of he Mongols was under the rule of Kubilai Khan.

There was no scholar gentry, no civil service exam, and Confucianism was not used. The Chinese were also not allowed in the government. They also had their hands on the social and cultural policies of China. The Mongol conquest of Russia reduced the Russian princes to tribute-payers. Payments fell heavily on the peasants, who found themselves reduced to serfdom. Until the mid- nineteenth century, serfdom was typical of Russian agricultural labor. Some Russian cities, such as Moscow, recovered their fortunes by the increased trade the Mongol empire permitted. After 1328, Moscow also profited by serving as the tribute collector for the Mongol overlords. The head of the Orthodox Church in Russia selected Moscow as his capital. In 1380, the princes of Moscow turned against the Mongols and led an alliance of Russian forces that defeated the Mongols at the battle of Kulikova. The victory broke the hold of the Mongols on Russia, although the nomads continued to make raids into the fifteenth century. The Mongol... Show More Please sign up to read full document.

Essay on Mongol Rule ...The Mongols were regarded as cruel and vicious people, but changes in the above states caused by Mongolian rule is mostly well natured including advances in science and technology. The Mongols totally reformed some of the countries in the Middle East and Asia, with changes that are politically based as well as economically based.
The Mongol era had many political influences on China and Russia. The Mongol
rule brought about many power changes and reforms in both of the states. In Russia and China, the khans, referred to as "Great Leaders", ruled both states after initial conquest, causing a shift in the central power of the government. Also, the Mongols destroyed cities and forms of government rule of both states, even though many of the cities had initially surrendered, thus using terror tactics as a form of governing. Because the Mongols wanted to control both states with easy access, in China, the capital was moved to Beijing, thus causing Beijing to be the center of politics and commerce in China as well as Southeast Asia. Whereas in Russia, the Mongols formed an alliance with the Orthodox Church, and fused together government and church, giving more political power to the church. The Mongol era also helped unite China and formed the Yuan and Ming Empire.
In addition to changes in political affairs of China and...
compare and contrast mongol rule Essay ...centuries the Mongols swept across Eurasia and conquered various peoples, including the Persians and Chinese. There are many similarities and differences in the political and economic effects of Mongol rule on the Abbasid Empire in Persia and on the Yuan Dynasty in China. In both regions, the Mongols were relatively tolerant of all religions. However, they differed in that the Mongol's allowed Persia to have native
administrators but did not allow China to. When the Mongols ruled in Persia and China, they respected all the religions they encountered. In Persia, the Mongols were attracted to Islam and overtime they assimilated to it. The Mongols were intrigued by Muslim society and by the year 1295, the Persian khanate had converted to Islam. They built mosques throughout the region and returned Islam to a privileged position of Persian society. The Mongols were also tolerant of the other religions in Persia including, Nestorian Christianity, Buddhism and Judaism. In China as well, the Mongols respected all cultural and religious traditions. They began to adopt some of Chinese culture, like ancestor worship. Khubilai Khan even built temples for his predecessors, so he could practice ancestor worship. The Mongols tolerated religions and belief systems such as, Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism and Christianity. They allowed...
Mongol Effect on China and Russia Essay ...period C&C #4
For many years the Mongols influenced the Eurasian world in more ways than one. This nomadic people, though few in number when compared to those they "conquered", was highly successful in gaining power and facilitating trade across the European and Asian continents. Russia and China are two particular regions that experienced the effects of Mongol rule both politically and economically. Yet while both regions
benefitted economically, China saw greater benefit in its political system because of direct Mongol influence.
Economically, the two regions saw much similarity under Mongol authority. In both, the Silk Road was maintained and the Mongols played a major role in facilitating trade across the two continents. The benefits of safe travel in both regions also helped to develop a sort of international economy that shared goods and ideas. The differences in the political policies of China and Russia came forth in their relationship with the Mongols and whether they were subjected to direct or proxy rule. Russia was isolated from the Byzantines and Western Europe under Mongol control but aside from that, Russians were generally free to govern themselves so long as the princes that purchased the right to be "Grand Prince" collected tribute and recognized the Mongols as the great khans. Under the...
Essay about Mongols ...Mongols Essay
During the thirteenth century the Mongols created the greatest empire in the world, which at its peak extended from the borders of Poland to the East Sea/Sea of Japan and from the Siberian forests to the Persian Gulf. Like so many of the other steppe empires, it originated in the grasslands and mountain pastures of Mongolia or Western Manchuria. The Mongols initially followed the pattern of earlier nomadic confederations such
as the Xiongnu, who had engaged in mutually beneficial exchange with their sedentary neighbors, the Han, and controlled the trade of the silk routes. Unlike the Xiongnu, however, the Mongols would conquer most of the major sedentary centers producing the goods traded across Eurasia. The result was a mixed blessing. Some areas never recovered from the shock of invasion, while others flourished. As travel by Europeans such as Marco Polo all the way across Asia attests, for a time one can speak of a Mongol Peace on the trade routes, even if its benefits were far from uniform.
The Mongol Empire was created by Chingis Khan. He was given the title of "Universal Emperor" when he unified the Mongol tribes in 1206. He spent the next years campaigning against the Qin rulers of north China. In 1219-1220 he marched west, destroying the kingdom of Khwarezm, in response to the murder of a trade mission he had sent.

Compare and Contrast Economic and Political Effects of the Mongol Rule in the Middle East and China Essay ... The Mongols were a nomadic group from Central Asia who joined together under the rule of Ghengis Khan to conquer territory. The Mongols had an enormous affect on the territories it conquered. They generally took on the culture of the peoples they conquered. In China, the Mongols modeled the government similar to China's but did not allow Chinese members to become a part of the government. They also outlawed the civil service exam. In
contrast in the Middle East, Il-Khan allowed local government officials to stay in power and keep their rule as long as they continued to pay taxes. However in both regions the Mongol's encouraged trade and eliminated tariffs through their empire. In that way they boosted their economies. Politically the Mongols changed the system significantly in China. Although Kublei Khan, the ruler of China during the Mongol ruler tried to model the government after the Chinese bureaucracy as exemplified by his naming the dynasty, the Yuan dynasty and keeping a strong centralized government with regular tax payment. He also outlawed the civil service exam because the Mongols were not well educated. In Addition he only allowed Mongols to be a part of the government. In contrast, in the Middle East Il-Khan kept the government very similar to how it had always been.

So what can I make of all this? First, I don’t believe that all males at the crag want “something more” when they give me a catch. My friend Alec is one of my favorite climbing partners. He’s always stoked whether we’re climbing hard or messing around on V1s in Pawtuckaway, and he’d never seen me before he picked me up at my dorm for a morning bouldering session the first time we met. He’s not “looking for anything” except a fun time on some rocks, which is pretty much guaranteed every time I climb with him. However, I am told that I’m often oblivious to those who do have other intentions.
Overall, my goal is to be one of the bros, hearing their girl stories instead of being in their girl stories. I want to get stronger (a little physically, a lot mentally), so I can eventually project routes with them. I want to be an equal, one of the guys—or, better yet, just another climber. | 2021-02-28T06:37:55Z | https://www.npd.cz/npdweb/about.xhtml | OSCAR-2109 | en |

New Features in Cytoscape 2.8.0
We've added the ability to associate images and other custom graphics with nodes. Images can be loaded manually with our image browser or specified as URLs in attributes. Programmers may also use the CyCustomGraphics interface to create images dynamically within plugins. To connect these images to nodes, the VizMapper provides visual properties that allow up to nine images to be mapped independently onto nodes. Users can control both the size and placement of the image with respect to the node.
We've had many requests over the years to provide spreadsheet like functionality in the attribute browser, and now we have! Cells in the attribute browser now accept a subset of Excel-like functions which dynamically compute values as attributes. We've provided an equation editor to help users understand the functions that are available as well as how to properly specify the arguments to a command. Equations are not meant for heavy data analysis, but rather as a simple way to manipulate attribute values within Cytoscape.
Mario Albrecht and his team at the Max-Planck Institute for Informatics have graciously provided their Network Analyzer plugin to Cytoscape as a core plugin. This means that Cytoscape now has a full suite of network analysis and graphing routines available right out of the box!
We've fixed many bugs in the latest version of Cytoscape. We hope the changes will make the Cytoscape user experience more pleasant and consisten.
Updates in Cytoscape 2.8.1
"Select All Attributes" button on the data panel selects the attributes in a sorted order.
Added the ability to load a plugin from a local file
Changed internal structures for group viewers to allow group viewer information about a group to be tracked before the group viewer is actually registered
Added a "discrete layout" setting for ForceDirected so that the force directed layout will now always give the same answer
Cleaned up XGMML group reading and writing
Several fixes to group handling
Minor fixes to tunable presentations
Updates in Cytoscape 2.8.2
This is mainly a bug fix release. We hope the changes will make the Cytoscape user experience more pleasant and consistent.
We have improved the memory detection and allocation process that occurs when Cytoscape is first installed and launched. The process attempts to optimize memory settings based on your hardware. The new process avoids system crashes that were occurring with 2.8.1.
We've overhauled the user interfaces controlling the mapping of continuous values to visual styles, like Node Size and Node Color, to provide more intuitive and consistent controls.
Well-Behaved CytoPanels
We revamped the behavior of CytoPanels so that each plugins preferred panel size will be automatically fit when the user switches to them. A global minimum size is set for all panels so that users can manually resize no matter which panel they are viewing.
Error Console Feature
If your Cytoscape session starts acting funny, go to Help > Error Console. You can now Save the console output as a single html file and attach it to your helpdesk and discussion list posts. | 2021/09/18 14:23:58 | https://cytoscape.org/release_notes_2_8_0.html | mC4 | en |
To start with, being a newbie (or a person who out of laziness hasn't been to the gym for the past 18 months) is like being the amateur of the place.

Meet A Tree: The Carolina Hemlock - Tsuga caroliniana
The Carolina Hemlock - Tsuga caroliniana, is a member of the Pinaceae (Pine) family and of the genus Tsuga. It is Native to areas with nutrient poor soil and low risk of fire, most often found growing slong side mixed hardwoods-conifer stands and Rhododendron understory from 600-1500 m. Carolina Hemlock can be found growing from southwestern Virginia, eastern Tennesee, western North Carolina South Carolina and northwestern Georgia.
Image Citation:William M. Ciesla, Forest Health Management International, Bugwood.org
The Carolina Hemlock is an attractive tree but does not have a high commercial value and is rarely grown ornamentally. Reaching heights of 60 feet tall it is very similar in appearance to the Eastern Hemlock. The cone of the Carolina Hemlock is ovoid to oblong, 2.5-4 cm long and 1.5-2.5 cm broad. The cone scales spread widely as the cone dries out. The twigs are light brown, smooth and thinly covered with short dark hairs. The leaves are in the form of 10-20 mm long flat and slightly downcurled needles that spread in all directions from the twig. | 2021/06/16 20:56:04 | https://arundeltreeservice.meetatree.com/2017/12/the-carolina-hemlock-tsuga-caroliniana.html | mC4 | en |

Presidential Detail – Texas Monthly
Bush Library: Courtesy of The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum
Location: College Station and Austin
What You'll Need: Pork rinds, Fresca
First, a caveat: The exhibits at presidential libraries are to history what the White House press office is to daily news. They burnish rather than analyze their subjects. But what the museum portion of a presidential library lacks in nuance it makes up for in quirky displays, family photos, and artifacts. The George W. Bush Presidential Library will soon be coming to Southern Methodist University, but for now history dweebs must content themselves with a two-stop tour, unless you include Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, the ranch with LBJ's "Texas White House" (and what happens to be this dweeb's favorite presidential history museum in Texas).
Begin in College Station, at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, on the campus of Texas A&M University. It'd be easy to overlook the fact that the bronze casting of galloping horses out front is not just another Western-themed sculpture but actually a representation of horses galloping through the rubble of the Berlin Wall, a flourish that seems positively Reaganesque. Inside, though, it's all Bushes to the core: the likable "team player," his eminent clan, and America's favorite matron. You'll find some presidential library staples—the limousine, the Oval Office replica—along with a refurbished TBM-Avenger like the one Poppy Bush flew in World War II, a Studebaker like the one he drove from Connecticut to Odessa when he was starting out in the oil business, a spy camera like those in use at the time he led the CIA, a paper target with "Bush" scrawled across it that was discovered in General Manuel Noriega's bunker following the invasion of Panama, and a "situation room" with touch-screen computers displaying information about the first Gulf war.
If contemplating our nation's forty-first president leaves you peckish, try La Bodega, in town, for fish tacos. Or if it leaves you wanting a drink, the Messina Hof Winery and Resort is ten miles away, in Bryan; it offers tours, tastings, and "vineyard cuisine" in its restaurant. From College Station, the drive to Austin takes roughly two hours. If you're prepared to splurge, stay at the Driskill Hotel, where LBJ and Lady Bird ate breakfast on their first date—he proposed later that same day—and where he stayed the night of the 1960 election. The presidential history buff on a budget might choose to stay elsewhere but can still enjoy some of Austin's best chocolate cake at the hotel's 1886 Cafe and Bakery.
Inside the white travertine spaceship that is the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, at the University of Texas at Austin, much of the exhibition space is given over to explaining historical context for the Johnson presidency, so that sometimes it seems as if specific and personal mementos are crowded out by general information about Vietnam or civil rights. But it's hard not to be impressed by the long list of his legislative accomplishments, and there's nothing not to like about the library's animatronic Lyndon Johnson, a joke-telling robot in ranch clothes with a scarily lifelike hand. The exhibit devoted to Lady Bird charms with details of her 1964 whistle-stop tour of the South, as well as her bowling shoes. True to his populist roots, Johnson stipulated that his library charge no admission: It's the only one that's free.

Forging ahead: London's future - The KBzine
Forging ahead: London's future
London's status as a leading global capital - financially, socially and culturally - has been the subject of much debate in the wake of the worst recession on record. A modern, commercially effective and sustainable built environment is paramount to the successful development of 21st century London as the city rises to the challenges of economic recovery and growth, climate change or realizing the 'Big Society' vision.
On Wednesday the newly formed and exclusive construction and property forum Forge hosted a debate on this issue, looking at the key forces that will shape London and the world over the coming years.
The debate was chaired by the Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo and featured guest panellists Liz Peace, Chief Executive of the British Property Federation; Tony Travers, Director at LSE London; Bradley Baker, Head of Central London Tenant Representation at Knight Frank and Helen Garthwaite, Partner and Head of Construction & Engineering at law firm Taylor Wessing.
Among the issues addressed by the panel were:
London as global financial centre: the future is bright?
Tony Travers of LSE London said: "London's prominence as one of the two top global capitals is threatened by cities in other continents that are developing and building new infrastructure. Investment, competitive taxes and public services will all be key elements in determining London's future. On balance the future is bright but there are a number of key challenges, including such issues as immigration and airport capacity. The city and its government need to keep on their toes."
The skyscraper boom: compromising London's heritage or building the city of the future?
Bradley Baker of Knight Frank said: "London has always evolved and needs to continue to do so if it is to remain and fulfil its role as the world's number one Global City. It's clear that it is facing increasing competition from other Cities and cannot afford to be complacent. The fact is that occupiers like tall buildings and always have done so. This is clearly illustrated by the higher rents that they are prepared to pay to be in them. The new breed of tall buildings in London will have a positive impact on their surroundings assisting in urban regeneration - their increasingly mixed use format only adding to their global appeal. They are also 'green' in nature by virtue of their development density minimising urban sprawl and focusing on transport hubs."
The New Age of economic efficiency will drive change and collaboration
Helen Garthwaite of Taylor Wessing stated: "Joint ventures can help manage risk by maintaining involvement of the wider market and leveraging development opportunities. We are likely to see new procurement and funding structures coming to the market influenced by this and the need for lower carbon development and refurbishment. Sustainable development has the power to unite different parties across the property industry. We believe that more collaborative relationships will form as diverse stakeholders come together to navigate tough economic times and build a more sustainable London."
The role of infrastructure in a global capital and what can be done to improve London's systems
Liz Peace, Chief Executive of the BPF said: "London's infrastructure is absolutely vital to its continuing success as a world city. But keeping up with population and visitor growth means we need continual investment and that's expensive. Expecting the private sector to cough up cash will only contribute so much - we need a strong commitment to public sector funding with no option for wriggling out of such commitments".
The 'Forging Ahead: London's Future' debate was supported by the London Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the International Building Press. | 2022/01/25 09:00:00 | https://thekbzine.com/pages/1226/forging_ahead_londons_future/ | mC4 | en |

As every bride in London knows, wedding gowns don’t come cheap. And that’s before you even start thinking about shoes and accessories. But what’s a girl to do when the Big Day is looming and you want to look a million dollars, but the (financial) cupboard is bare? Well,
Well, it wouldn’t be London if there weren’t a solution to be found. All you need is a bit of left field thinking and the willingness to compromise on your preconceived ideas and, hey presto, you shall go to the ball! A quick scale of the London data lists later, and viola – here we present to you a beautiful treasure map, full of the best places to grab a cheeky wedding bargain.
Why pay full price for your wedding gown when you don’t have to? Take a look at this selection of second hand wedding shops and outlet shops in and around London. You will find a great selection of designer wedding gowns at knockdown prices.
A very smart bridal shop selling discount new and preloved designer wedding dresses and accessories.
Only 30 minutes from Central London, this beautiful store specialises in second hand designer wedding dresses and accessories.
A North London bridal studio that specialises in designer sample wedding dresses, with prices up to 60% off regular RRP available.
Wedding, prom and evening dresses along with accessories at very reduced prices due to being ex stock.
Don’t underestimate the power of charity shops – they’ve come a long way since the days of musty jumpers and sad suits in drab, uninspiring surroundings. London, in particular, has a wealth of decidedly upmarket charity shops that specialise in covetable, designer or vintage garments, including wedding clothing, at prices you wouldn’t believe possible. You just need to know where to look:
A large, self styled ‘designer charity shop’, this is Chelsea’s best known and most popular charity shop. Merchandise is mostly in the designer bracket, with pieces by Jaeger, MaxMara, Vivienne Westwood et al being donated regularly by wealthy local residents.
Not far from Oxford Street, this cavernous 2-story thrift shop is a favourite haunt for fashion forward but budget compromised students from the nearby London College of Fashion. There’s designer bargains to be had, but you may have some competition.
This long established charity shop is a stone’s through from Oxford Circus and a popular drop-off point for fashionable cast-offs by the uber fashionable staff at Vogue magazine nearby. 2 floors of second hand clothes, shoes and accessories from high street and designer brands abound.
This a huge and very lively shop with an unpredictable and exciting selection of clothing and accessories. Find all kinds of high street brands, as well as designer bargains for under £50 here.
A boutique charity shop like no other, with a dedicated gay section and Shirley Bassey soundtrack, this is what Alan Carr called ‘the Harvey Nichols of charity shops’. It is rumoured that Mary Portas is also a fan. Pop in for designer bargains and vintage finds.
Pop in for designer donations from wealthy local residents in this large store set in the heart of Knightsbridge, just a stone’s throw from Harrods but with prices that couldn’t be more different.
A savvy designer vintage store where high fashion, wow labels and fashion forward merchandising abound, this shop is a world apart from the dowdy charity shops of old.
Best known for its smart ladies wear, handbags and shoes, this shop always comes up trumps with designer pieces, Prada evening shoes, DKNY designer bags and the like.
If you prefer to shop from the comfort of your home, there are many online wedding dress sites where you can get a hardly (or sometimes never!) worn wedding gown for a fraction of the new retail price. Check out the following sites:
Bride2Bride – the UK’s largest online wedding marketplace, selling second hand wedding dresses, bridesmaids’ dresses, mother-of-the-bride outfits, wedding shoes and more
Obviously, there’s eBay and Gumtree too. It’s worth pointing out that online shopping always carries an element of risk, eBay probably has the strongest buyer protection. You are advised to always carefully inspect the dress in person (ideally try it on!) and pay cash on collection. Also establish if you can return the dress if you should change your mind when you get home.
A new series looking at the best dining options within walking distance of city landmarks worldwide.
It’s that time of the year when we pause to take stock of the artists that caught our eye in 2016, while also looking ahead at the packed roster of exciting museum and gallery exhibitions in the months to come across the United States. There is no shortage of dynamic artists to pay attention to right now, and that’s a great thing, given the somber mood after a bruising, unprecedented presidential election.
With this in mind, artnet News brings you our picks for some of the most vibrant, exciting artists at work from coast to coast. | OSCAR-2019 | en |

A home that a father lovingly designed for his family, this stylish abode is an ode to Modernism and the art of decluttering.
For architect Edmund Ng, working on this Serangoon residence proved to be particularly poignant. In 2013, Ng and his team were hired by the aesthetically driven homeowner Mr Sng, who had terminal cancer. He came to them with a simple wish—to create a beautiful home that his wife, Candy, and their two children, Joycelin and Benjamin, would be able to enjoy after his passing.
Sadly, Mr Sng didn’t get to see the end result, but the architect recalls with fondness the numerous hours that they spent together poring over plans and making adjustments to ensure that the family’s needs were met. “I was aware from the very start that what we were really creating was a legacy, rather than simply a house with four walls and a roof,” explains Ng from his East Coast studio. “Mr Sng had a very clear wish list of what he wanted for his family and he remained entirely involved right until the very end.”
Despite space constraints, these rooms feel cavernous thanks to their high ceilings, glass walls and notable lack of clutter. Everything that the family might use on a daily basis is hidden behind wooden panels that cleverly conceal ample amounts of storage space.
The only decoration on the ground floor is the chandelier, designed by Ng, which hangs above the dining table (as pictured above). Beyond that, there’s no art on the walls, no colour and no superfluous fabrics.
Powder coated steel banisters are applied on the lift shaft and all door frames as part of the abode’s cohesive look
“I am very much into the modern style of architecture, as pioneered by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier,” says Ng. “It was a response to the overembellishment of the 19th century and for me, it is refreshingly simple.” He adds that it’s the exacting proportions and the lack of unnecessary frivolities that make this less-is-more style so attractive. Throughout the house, there isn’t a single curved wall or an angle that isn’t at 90 degrees.
Accessed through a glass door, the living room (as seen above) is a lesson in understated opulence, with its Nero Marquina black marble coffee table beautifully matching the baby grand piano and custom-made furniture.
The colour palette and materials of this home are just as restrained: wood, marble, cement, glass, aluminium and steel dominate, and they are in either black, white or their raw state. Only the steel elements have been painted, to avoid rusting; and even the cement blocks that were used to form the external walls have been left bare.
The second floor feels more homely: it features Candy’s beloved karaoke room, a gym, and the breathtaking living room.
Joycelin and Benjamin’s living quarters are located one floor up, which includes a vast walk-in wardrobe and an adjoining bathroom. A sense of flow is maintained across all the floors through the continuous use of pale blonde wood flooring and off-form cement walls, which are neatly lined with powder-coated steel banisters.
Finally, on the top floor is the master bedroom, with its impressive views of the entire neighbourhood. Glass inserts, added to the top of the four walls, heighten the bright and airy aspect of the room. There are no demarcations between the sleeping area and the oversized master bathroom; the result is a feeling of being adrift among the clouds.
“I often liken being an architect to being an artist—except that an artist has total free rein over whatever it is that they create, while an architect still needs to ensure that he is responding to his client’s needs,” comments Ng, reflecting on the challenges of his profession. “In this case, though, I sincerely hope that we fulfilled all of our duties.”

Apolis | People: Jeremy Koreski, Photographer Update
Photos by Jeremy Koreski + Lindsay Henwood
We first met the British Columbia native Jeremy Koreski in 2013 through a close friend of ours. Recently, we got the time to catch up with Jeremy and hear about a recent project he is working on.
Jeremy shared, "Growing up in a small costal town I was lucky to have the opportunity to fly in sea planes while learning photography. Now I still love shooting aerials, wheather it's from a plane or helicopter...ideally with the doors off. I've flown a drone a few times, but don't enjoy it as much as being up in the air myself looking and composing through the view finder."
Below are several images Jeremy has recently shot while working on an environmental story in Canada. We hope these photos inspire you as much as they continue to inspire us.
Jeremy hopes to bring awareness to how fragile our natural environment is and hopefully inspire people through his images to respect nature and to be involved with protecting the environment around us and around the world. Buy it here.
We are thankful for Jeremy's friendship and willingness to be an Apolis Nomad, a group of inspiring friends that contribute to the Apolis Journal and regularly field-test our collection on their travels to help us improve durability.

Especially when it comes to binary options trading, traders have to know in detail where each wave is going to end since it is crucial for using the Fibonacci tool. Traders have to drag the Fibonacci tool from the right position to discover whether there is a small or big X wave. Binary options can be used to gamble, but they can also be used to make trades based on value and expected profits. So the answer to the question will come down to the trader.

Edu Lobo/Romero Lubambo/Mauro Senise : Dos Navegantes (CD) -- Dusty Groove is Chicago's Online Record Store
Brazil CD Edu Lobo/Romero Lubambo/Mauro Senise
CD (Item 840441) Biscoito Fino (Brazil), 2017 — Condition: New Copy
Beautiful sounds throughout – and exactly the kind of record that shows why the right sort of Brazilian music can be so different than anything else on this planet – not really jazz, not really folk, nor straightforward pop – but the kind of special sounds that define a genre unto themselves! The record's a warmly collaborative effort from the trio of Romero Lubambo on guitar, Mauro Senise on saxes and flute, and the great Edu Lobo on voice and compositions – songs pulled from his decades-long contribution to Brazilian music, given a very special, very personal performance by the group! Lobo always had a way of balancing up-close performance with loftier arrangements – and here, that latter side of his music is pulled away, to bring the singer even more strongly into the limelight – as he gets very warm accompaniment from both of the other lead players. The set also features some guest work from Cristovao Bastos on piano, Bruno Aguilar on bass, and Mingo Araujo on percussion – and titles include "Toada", "A Morte De Zambi", "Gingado Dobrado", "Considerando", "Dos Navegantes", and "O Circo Mistico". © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc. | 2018/07/23 05:47:49 | https://www.dustygroove.com/item/840441?cat=brazil | mC4 | en |
Last Summer in Ohio, a class of Hall-of-Fame football players were ready for induction into immortality. Gold Jackets worn, bronze busts sculpted, and the silver-lining that comes with the finality of a career.
The August tradition is unlike any other in sports, in my opinion. To me, football is the quintessential microcosm of life. Many aspects of “the game,” both pigskin and life itself, need to work in cohesiveness for long-term goals to be accomplished. The speeches tell the stories with drama in its greatest form.
Reality.
It is really a remarkable crossroads, as many times player’s journeys are very similar yet some are very different, but in between are those speeches you hear from your past heroes, favorites and even villains. When newly minted Hall-of-Fame center, Kevin Mawae, got his moment to deliver what would instantly become an epic induction speech, he did something I have never seen, heard, or even imagined on this stage.
In what I truly believe was the ultimate show of respect and class, Mawae didn’t waste any time selflessly mentioning another player. A rival whom he took issue with not being a Hall-of-Fame colleague.
Mawae, a former Tennessee Titan, but arguably much more-so a Gang Green favorite New York Jet, shocked the Miami Dolphins and overall football world.
He officially started the Zach Thomas campaign for the former Miami linebacker’s inevitable calling into “The Hall.”
As a born-and-bred New Yorker Fin-Addict, hearing a Jet take his moment to not just mention, but endorse his “nemesis,” literally floored me. Like if I was the recipient of a Zach Thomas torpedo-dive tackle, I was almost knocked out.
I was in a state of shock, much like how I was when Thomas intercepted Houston Oilers quarterback Chris Chandler’s pass and chugged into the endzone for his first NFL touchdown in 1996.
I was fifteen.
Mawae used his valuable moments and platform to talk about the man he had to prepare for twice a year, for nearly a decade. To the All-Pro center, it was clear…
This was his Borg-McEnroe. His Palmer-Nicklaus. His Ali-Frazier.
Two all-timers, battling several times with nothing but respect for one another, and an equally burning fire to win their match-up.
Mawae earned more respect that day than the hoards he has already earned from the two teams he wore that significant “C” on his jersey for. He brought a third fan-base on board with him instantly with his premeditated homage to his bitter, yet respected rival.
Photo credit should read RHONA WISE/AFP via Getty Images
This Miami Dolphins fanbase has been waiting for another hero to “Don” more than just an Aqua jacket. Mawae started a rift in the ocean amongst a sea of Dolphin Die-Hards ready to ride a Tidal wave onto Canton.
A fan-base that takes its history seriously, sometimes more than it’s present while praying its future can bring back the glory days of the past.
They say that the greatest complements come from peers, but how about a “nemesis?” Mawae has something now that is more dangerous than a Thomas tackle or a Titanic run-block, and that is a voice. With Mawae on the inside of the doors of The Hall, I am confident the whispers at closing time will begin when the security guards leave the Holy Ground.
“The Busts Talk,” they say.
We know Jason Taylor’s bronze bust will second Mawae’s motion, as well as Dan Marino’s and the other Hall-of-Fame Dolphin lengendary heads, both players and coach.
Will the whispers inside the hallowed hallways reverberate nationwide, and more importantly, media-wide?
Just in case Mawae was not loud enough, and just in case Thomas’ hits weren’t hard enough, please allow me to present a further case on why Zach Thomas not only needs to be inducted in 2020 but why it is years passed due.
Once again, Zach Thomas is a Pro Football Hall of Fame Semi-Finalist.

The 30 Hall-of-Fame Linebackers in Canton (listed alphabetically)
Chuck Bednarik, Bobby Bell, Robert Brazile, Derrick Brooks, Nick Buoniconti, Dick Butkus, Harry Carson, George Connor, Chris Doleman, Bill George, Kevin Greene, Jack Ham, Chris Hanburger, Ted Hendricks, Sam Huff, Rickey Jackson, Jack Lambert, Willie Lanier, Ray Lewis, Ray Nitschke, Les Richter, Dave Robinson, Joe Schmidt, Junior Seau, Mike Singletary, Lawrence Taylor, Derrick Thomas, Andre Tippett, Brian Urlacher, Dave Wilcox.
What I would love to do, is a bit of a trim-down, much like the epic George Carlin breakdown of The 10 Commandments.
While the late, great comedian believed there really are a fraction of Commandments needed in that realm of religion, I would argue that we should find a similar approach, in theory, on how we can breakdown why Thomas needs to be included in this elite group on men.
What I am saying is, and ask yourself this, is the group of linebackers in Zach’s class really all 30 of these players?
Right off the bat, let us cut the list down to pure middle linebackers, which means no movement to the outside, no stints at defensive line, and just a prototypical Ray Lewis-ian style backer.
The pure-blood middle-linebackers are as follows:
Chuck Bednarik (played ironman football at C, but his lone defensive position was MLB), Nick Buoniconti, Dick Butkus, Harry Carson, Bill George, Sam Huff, Jack Lambert, Willie Lanier, Ray Lewis, Ray Nitschke, Les Richter, Joe Schmidt, Junior Seau, Mike Singletary, and Brian Urlacher.
We can now start at 15 linebackers in Zach Thomas’ “class” and not the overall “show” of the position.
Now let’s do what many people do, and I say this with a virtual tear, and that be to forget about the past. This is something we should never do, but for this study, let’s get rid of those old-school “leatherheads,” and non-modern era middle linebackers. It isn’t a fair comparison, so much like Tony Stark throwing out holographic images of a Mark-54 Ironman suit in the workshop, I’m tossing those guys into the senior trash-bin; respectfully of course.

We can leave out Chuck Bednarik, Bill George, Sam Huff, Ray Nitschke, Les Richter, and Joe Schmidt.
We are now left with 9.
Football is a game of momentum, so while we are trimming faster than the payroll of the current Dolphins, let’s get one more decade and lose the stars of the ‘60s and ‘70s because, again, it’s a different era altogether.
For purposes of this homage to Thomas, and to Carlin, let’s first and foremost pay our respects to the late Miami Legend, Nick Buoniconti. Fellow inductees Dick Butkus and Willie Lanier saw success in both decades and while Harry Carson’s rookie year was 1976, his final season was 1988.
And just like that, (Carlin tongue-click)…we’re down to five.
Those five immortals are Jack Lambert, Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis, Junior Seau and most recently and with being deservingly so, Brian Urlacher. I can’t help but want to place Singletary and Lambert back in the old-school NFL Films division so I am tempted to slice this down to three, even though I am very loyal to thou elders and respectful to those who made this league what it is today.
I am not being blasphemous, but we are now down to three.
Junior Seau, may he rest in eternal peace, was the Lawrence Taylor of the middle linebacking sect of holy second-tier defenders. They very well could be the best of the bunch at their respective areas of the gridiron and belong in an Elite class all by themselves.
We are left with two.
Ray Lewis is as close as it gets to Seau, and there is zero argument from me on the rightful inclusion of Urlacher, but where is the third on this trio of the “Best Middle Linebackers of the Late 1990’s/Early 2000’s," other than Junior?
For me, there are numerous prerequisites that go on a Hall-of-Fame checklist, but mainly this is an individual achievement, so please save the championship talks for another day or I can cut the current list in half to one with only Lewis remaining.
When you look at the following stats, you will see the same common denominators in Thomas’ era, which I tally as a main point of criteria to induction. That being, dominance and comparability against one’s peers in that similar time frame.
Photo by Winslow Townson/The LIFE Images Collection via Getty Images/Getty Images
Having said that, here is the 1996-2007 stat breakdown of the middle linebackers in Thomas’ career in Solo Tackles, assisted tackles, Combination of those two, and tackles for loss. *(This includes Thomas’ years with MIA and not including his 2008 season in Dallas)
Sacks, as we know, wasn’t a calling-card responsibility of Thomas’ but if we are on the numerical tip, he has 20.5 career sacks and 17 interceptions. He forced 16 fumbles and recovered eight and scored four touchdowns with a somersault or two.
Nailed ‘em.
Top Ten Solo Tackle leaders from 1996-2007 NFL Seasons
Top Ten Assisted Tackle leaders from 1996-2007 NFL Seasons
Top Ten Combo Tackle leaders from 1996-2007 NFL Seasons
Top Ten Tackle For Loss leaders from 1996-2007 NFL Seasons
With Urlacher starting his career a few seasons after Thomas, this is not a study to take away anything from the Bears version of #54 whatsoever, but I will add that tale-of-the-tape of those two in a moment.
This study is simply to say that of these four measurables, perhaps the ultimate in linebackers’ statistical barometers, there are four of these players who appear in the top-10 in each category during this span.
Ray Lewis*
Junior Seau*
London Fletcher
And
Zach Thomas
*=Hall-of-Famer
Thomas Versus Urlacher
I look forward to the day I travel to Canton. To witness Zach Thomas taking his rightful place among the greats. Kevin Mawae officially kicked off the campaign. Let's get it. Not a knock on Urlacher but Zach belongs. Enough already. Get. Him. In. Please. @ProFootballHOF pic.twitter.com/aBadbSWvPN
— Jason Sarney (@JSarney_PFN365) August 4, 2019
Stats mean a lot in Hall-of-Fame voting and debating, as do intangibles such as leadership, philanthropy, and legacy, all of which Zach Thomas has in droves. The size of his heart, grit, and determination is second to none and in vast contrast to his frame and underdog tag.
The 1996 5th round draft pick, number 154th overall from Texas Tech and Bob Hope All-American, played a career that should be taught to young prospects at every step of the way.
He played the game correct, with passion and purpose and lives his life that way as well. You’ll never hear a negative word about Zach Thomas. Ever.
Now it is time for the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame to do what is necessary. Please, open your collective ears and hear the fans while listening to Mr. Mawae’s speech over and over again as it was a movie teaser-trailer.
Please, open your collective eyes and see the waves of Orange and Aqua, pleading with your voters, who will undoubtedly flood Canton with commerce that glorious Summer weekend.
And more importantly, please heed Hall-of-Fame center, Kevin Mawae’s words and respectfully, helmet-in-hand...
...open your Door, for 54.
Thank you.

Aggression Needed says Israeli USAF Cyber Advisor - Alan J Simpson
" Aggression Needed" says Israeli USAF Advisor
Washington, DC, Jan. 11th, 2008 -- The USAF, desperately seeking a role in the post-nuclear Cold War has begun thumping it's chest and demanding it be allowed to attack first in the area of Cyber Space.
The Pentagon's network warriors have traditionally focused on defense. Not any more. From Wired and the Blogs:
"Cyber, as a warfighting domain . . . like air, favors the offense," said Lani Kass, director of the Air Force's Cyberspace Task Force, while presenting the elements of the National Military Strategy for Cyberspace Operations (NMSCO) last week. This is first time the Air Force formally acknowledged it has plans to take an offensive approach to cyberwarfare. [Although there have been plenty of informal acknowledgments, by the flyboys and others. -- ed.]
The NMSCO makes it the official doctrine of the United States military to bring the fight to the enemy, to constantly be on the offensive when it comes to the cyber domain, said Kass during a Sept. 26 presentation at an Air Force Association-sponsored conference in Washington...
On Oct. 3, the Senate authorized up to $4 million be made available for the Cyberspace Innovation Center for Cyber Combat Development.
In the wake of several Chinese probes into the Defense Department's non-classified computer and communications network, known as the NIPRNET, as well as German and British defense networks, the Air Force has made it clear it feels that, to fight effectively in cyberspace, a military must be on the offensive.
"If you're defending in cyber, you're already too late. Cyber delivers on the original promise of air power," said Kass. "If you don't dominate in cyber, you cannot dominate in other domains. If you're a developed country, you can't conduct daily life [after a large scale cyber attack], your life comes to a screeching halt.
What Ms. Kass does not realize is that any aggression on the part of the United States Air Force will result in crippling retaliation, from around the world, including from home grown sympathizers. What works in Israel does not work in the mighty complex cyber space we know as the United States. To understand what damage may result unless the USAF attack is 100% effective look at the vulnerability of The Stock Market, and Wall Street as good examples.
The USAF may want the Cyber Turf in the Pentagon and want to grab secret funds, rumored at over $7 Billion. But it is, in military cyber offensive terms a serious error, along with the same rhetoric to invade Iraq from Wolfowitz, Pearle and Leith. The United States have everything to lose, and nothing to gain by moving on to the publicly stated offensive with CyberWar.
Harden the military networks to attack, but before more Israeli Hawks turn their US Employers into aggressive Hawks too, look at the risks and the consequences AFTER the attack. That's how we got into the mess in Iraq! If we had Balkanized the US Networks and, like China, could isolate ourselves from attacks then I would agree that a military operation commanding tens of thousands of high powered computers around the world would be a smart idea. But so far we have a handful of dreaming Academics, lowest bidder computers, and far too much to lose by initiating a Cyber War.
The US Air Force can muster a few thousand low bid computers to fight it's Cyber Offensive. The Chinese, with a population of over a billion people can order a "Little Red Computer" attack out of all proportions to anything the US can envisage. Those of us who remembered the "Little Red Book" get the message. Most of our PC's, or their component parts are made in China. By the stroke of the pen the Chinese Government can begin rolling off offensive PC's filled with hacker software at the same rate the US rolled off Fighters, Bombers, and Tanks in World War II. Those were the days when America had a manufacturing base, before greedy Capitalists moved it all to China. If China feels that the USAF poses a threat it can escalate Cyber War capability far beyond what the the United States can match on a level playing field, and in a pretty short time. And don't forget Russia.
And to argue against Ms. Kass, Cyber War favors the weakest in resources to attack, not whoever launches the attack. Cyber war is in many ways like Infantry Warfare, 100,000 troops with AK47's will beat 1,000 troops with the most modern laser sighted rifle. As I pointed out at the UN in the late 1990's China is building a Cyber Wall around itself, and like the shields on Star Trek, can fire it's weapons whilst protecting itself from attack. America is vulnerable, and somewhat ill advised in threatening to go on the offensive. | 2017/09/25 09:37:22 | http://www.comlinks.com/polintel/pi080111.htm | mC4 | en |

The interior ministry’s financial police raided Vakhtangisi, a village is on the Georgian side of the frontier with Azerbaijan, on January 20 in an operation to confiscate counterfeit goods. However, a fight broke out, and three locals and some policemen were wounded in the ensuing shootout.
The financial police told IWPR that following last summer’s closure of the Ergneti market inside the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone, which had been a major base for customs-free goods, the main smuggling route into Georgia is now from Azerbaijan at Sadakhlo and Krasny Most.
“That is where most of the goods which are sold in Tbilisi and other cities, in markets, supermarkets and even fashionable shops comes from,” said Tea Rusikashvili, head of the press office of the financial police.
Rusikashvili, who took part in the anti-smuggling operations in Gardabani region, told IWPR, “We confiscated black market electrical goods worth eight million lari (4.4 million US dollars) from just one family in Gachiani. They opened fire on the police and we had to call up 300 special forces soldiers.”
When the police travelled to the next village, Vakhtangisi, Rusikashvili said that they met fierce resistance.
“The police were following a minibus carrying smuggled goods,” she said. “Inside the village the driver vanished but the residents did not let us take the vehicle, they attacked us with stones and Molotov cocktails. One woman spat in my face and pulled my hair. We had to take shelter at the frontier post.”
It was during this episode that the police opened fire and wounded three locals. An investigation is continuing into the incident.
The Azerbaijani villagers complain that the authorities are cutting off their livelihood without giving them any alternative means of earning their living.
“Now apart from all our other problems we’ve been condemned to live in hunger,” said Orujev. “We can’t bring in big cargoes because we have to pay high taxes on them and you can’t earn anything from small cargoes.”
Rusikashvili told IWPR that corrupt customs officers had exacerbated the situation. “Importing goods worth one million laris, some owners declared it as a cargo worth one thousand lari and did great damage to the state budget,” she said.
“Of course the customs played their part in this. All this business starts on the other side of the Azerbaijani border near Lagodekhi, and three customs officers have been arrested there.”
But local Azerbaijanis are not convinced by these arguments, and say they are the victims of an ethnically motivated campaign to make them feel unwelcome in Georgia.
“Why are [the authorities] always breaking into the houses of Azerbaijanis and punishing only them?” asked Orujev. | 2021-02-28T07:42:47Z | https://www.alphastaff.com/social-media-and-recruiting-what-you-need-to-know/ | OSCAR-2109 | en |
The board’s united front showed its first serious cracks, as four of the 15 voting members sent an emissary on Sunday night to the president, Teresa Sullivan, to discuss the terms on which she would stay, according to people briefed on the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Still, the board’s leader, Helen E. Dragas, the university rector, showed no sign of backing away from replacing Dr. Sullivan, saying at the outset of the Board of Visitors meeting that the decision was the product of “an overwhelming consensus of the board.” She acknowledged the widespread view that the board had failed to explain the dismissal, but offered no further rationale.
“We want to express our sincere regret for the pain, anger and confusion” the board’s actions have caused, Ms. Dragas said, adding that “our actions too readily lent themselves to perceptions of being opaque.”

June 18, 2012
This morning, the Faculty Senate Executive Council met with Rector Dragas to discuss the recent resignation of President Sullivan. We invited the Vice Rector, but he did not attend. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the Council to ask questions raised by the University faculty concerning recent events, and to hear the Board’s perspective.
We asked the Rector about the process and the reasons behind President Sullivan’s resignation; the principles of shared governance between the faculty, administration and the Board; the Board’s desire for a strategic plan; and the Board’s justification for the speedy and secretive nature of its actions.
We had a cordial discussion. Based on extensive input from our faculty constituents and the Rector’s responses to our questions, we made the following requests:
1. That the Board delay the naming of any interim president to provide an opportunity for shared governance;
2. That President Sullivan be reinstated;
3. That the Board recommend representation by UVA faculty on the Board as voting members; and
4. That the Rector and Vice Rector resign in the best interests of the University.
Channel 29 News has some video. (Full disclosure: I worked in the Channel 29 control room 35 years ago, as an FCC licensed first class radiotelephone operator.) The criticisms revolve around lack of transparency and shared governance. The UVa Faculty Senate met Sunday night, voting confidence in Sullivan, no confidence in the Rector, Board, etc. The Daily Progress reports UVa’s Provost John Simon is considering resigning. He says:
“I now find myself at a defining moment, confronting and questioning whether honor, integrity, and trust are truly the foundational pillars of life at the University of Virginia,” he said. “I find myself at a moment when the future of the university is at risk and what our political leadership value in the university is no longer clear. Much has appeared in the press over the last week, and the reputational consequences will be with us for many years to come.
When the OUS Board fired Lariviere in November, UO’s Provost Jim Bean was enjoying a controversial and well paid administrative sabbatical. He immediately tried to get appointed to Lariviere’s job. The faculty stopped him. I’m trying to remember what Frohnmayer did and said when Lariviere was fired. Anyone? The Virginians are a bit tougher: former UVa President John Casteen said this at the meeting:
John T. Casteen III, the 20-year president of UVa before Sullivan was hired, said Sunday evening that the decision to remove Sullivan had been far too secretive.
“Obviously, I don’t know much about the ouster, because the board has not released very much information,” Casteen said. “And I’m not alone in thinking this, but I think there’s something flawed in the public process here. The assumption in Virginia law is that public business is done in view of the public, that people can see what’s going on, and it’s alarming to think that a decision this large was not made with the full time for discussion within the board and in particular not done within the appropriate view of the public.
“My situation is that I look for reasons and I don’t see them, and I look for information, evidence to show that the board has a formed philosophy that represents the future. And we haven’t heard what that philosophy is. Obviously, that need to be understood, and the president’s views of it need to be known and understood also. So the process is not what you’d want. It’s not the appropriate process.”
The secrecy is also at odds with the standards of sound university decision making, he said.
Casteen, who in earlier comments to the press had raised the idea of reconciliation between the board and Sullivan, said he’s “disappointed” if that conversation isn’t going on.
He also called for today’s meeting to be held entirely in open session.
“The cure for excessive secrecy is not more secrecy,” Casteen said. “It is open and responsible public discussions.”
UVA’s former President Teresa Sullivan has now hired Ray Cotton to represent her. Hope she got a cheaper rate than the $45,500 he charged Pernsteiner for a 12 page report cribbed from Chronicle data.
A commenter points us to this WaPo article, full of intrigue:
And in a frank 12-page strategic memo last month, Sullivan laid out the university’s fundamental academic weakness. U-Va. has a peerless reputation for undergraduate study, she wrote, but its graduate programs and research endeavors suffer from a “reputation gap.” Some vaunted doctoral programs don’t actually rank very high, and others are buoyed by a few star faculty.
Last month, the board adopted an operating budget that included substantial language culled from Sullivan’s strategy document, although most did not know it came from her memo. Yet, after Sullivan’s ouster, Dragas chided the president for lacking a “credible statement of strategic direction.”
One thing that strikes me is that as high-handed as Dragas appears – and it’s pretty amazing – at the root this seems to be actual dispute about how best to improve UVA. Compare this to the dispute that got Lariviere fired: he had a plan to improve UO, but the board and the governor did not want UO to get better, because they thought that would distract from the other state schools.
6/16/2012 update: Insidehighered has a *very* comprehensive piece on this by Chris Olds, here. Thanks to anonymous for the link. Michael Redding has used UVA as an example of how an independent board for UO might be structured. How to do this right certainly needs to be revisited now. One lesson, I think, is that a board must have more than token faculty representation – picked by the faculty, not the board or governor!
One story notes that the board may have broken VA’s public meetings law:
UVa is a public university, and any decision made about its leader should be made in public.
Dream on. I wonder if Virginia’s ethics enforcement is the same thin gruel that Ron Bersin and Oregon’s GEC serve up? Student protests, attacks on board:
“We’re not rabble-rousers here,” she said. “We’re simply calling for transparency.”
She called the invocation of Thomas Jefferson by the Board of Visitors “disgusting.”
6/15/2012 update: Faculty protests, resignations:
The gulf between University of Virginia officials and the school’s outraged faculty appeared to widen Thursday, as calls for unity from officials were met with a vote of no confidence from the Faculty Senate’s executive council. Late in the day, the author of a leaked email became the first casualty from the continuing scandal over the ouster of UVa President Teresa A. Sullivan.
In a resolution adopted by the body’s executive council during an emergency meeting, the faculty expressed “its lack of confidence in the Rector, the Vice Rector, and the Board of Visitors.”

Board fires president for not raising faculty salaries
By uomatters | 06/10/2012 - 9:02 pm | 06/10/2012 Uncategorized

Update: As a commenter notes, this post is pretty far off base. More here, I hope more accurate.
Out here in Oregon our state board fires presidents when they *do* raise faculty pay.
UVA Rector Helen Dragas writing on the Board of Visitors’ decision to fire UVA President Teresa Sullivan on a Sunday, less than 2 years into her term:
We have calls internally for resolution of tough financial issues that require hard decisions on resource allocation. The compensation of our valued faculty and staff has continued to decline in real terms, and we acknowledge the tremendous task ahead of making star hires to fill the many spots that will be vacated over the next few years as our eminent faculty members retire in great numbers. These challenges are truly an existential threat to the greatness of UVA.
Quoted here by the always informed Channel 29 news team. Dragas’s explanation is direct, knowledgeable and coherent. Quite a contrast to the nonsense we got from Matt Donegan and the OUS Board when they fired President Lariviere. And yes, I take it as evidence in favor of the New Partnership’s independent UO board proposal. (Thanks to a longtime C’ville insider for the tip.) 6/10/2012.

5/23/2012 update. The list of supporters for this PAC is growing, and as a commenter reports it now includes a Lillis. Updates here. I don’t know that Bob Berdahl deserves credit, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
This is part of what it will take to move the independent UO board part of Lariviere’s New Partnership through the legislature. Last year the UO Foundation spent about $500,000 lobbying for it, near as I can tell.
The biggest problems with an independent board will be too much influence from sports boosters, too many of the governor’s political appointees, and too little transparency. But those problems could hardly be worse at UO than they now are, and there’s a lot of upside – so let’s roll the dice!
5/22/2012: A new PAC, formed by Tim Boyle and John von Schlegell. Secretary of State filings here. “To support measures and initiatives that enhance excellence, innovation and affordability at Oregon’s public universities” a.k.a. Lariviere’s New Partnership.
There’s big money behind this, most of it and not all of it from UO sports boosters:
5/22/2012: Click here for updates on the contributions. Thanks to Nigel Jaquiss of Willamette Week for the story, which I saw on Bojack.org. And if you’re thinking of contributing, don’t neglect Sam Dotters-Katz’s SHEEN PAC, which has the same goal but slightly less cash on hand. 5/22/2012.

OSU Pres Ed Ray on local boards

3/11/2012: Whole letter here, well worth reading:
In the worst instances, universities with local boards meander toward excellence, if they are lucky. They often must accommodate the tastes of local board members while trying to execute longer term plans. My experience with a local board and with the NCAA leads me to conclude that many of the problems universities in Division I have with NCAA violations are related to boards or board members who tell the president when and how to hire and fire coaches and when to look the other way in the face of possible infractions because “things” are going well.
That could never happen at UO of course. Ray’s letter is for the 3/16 OUS Board meeting on this subject. Presumably Pres Berdahl will send around his own letter soon.

Oregonian mocks Kitzhaber’s 40-40-20 plan
By uomatters | 02/19/2012 - 11:32 pm | 02/19/2012 Uncategorized
3 Comments
2/19/2012: Columnist David Sarasohn:
In the middle of the 1990s, when Oregon K-12 funding was a question of whether programs would be thrown overboard right away or the following year, Portland school superintendent Jack Bierwirth was asked why he had ever decided to come here.
He explained that he’d been very excited about the school reform plan the Legislature passed in 1991, guaranteeing preschool to every Oregon student, and thought with that basis, schools could do impressive things.
Delicately, he was asked whether he hadn’t noticed that there was no actual funding for the policy.
Bierwirth replied, still sounding bewildered years after his decision, “I couldn’t believe they’d pass it without some way to pay for it.”
At the time, he hadn’t seen much of Oregon.
Bierwirth’s bewilderment comes to mind as the state sets out another lofty goal, 40-40-20 — having 40 percent of the state’s adults with four-year college degrees, 40 percent with two-year degrees or the equivalent, and the remaining 20 percent with high school degrees. It would be an impressive advance, since the four-year number is now closer to 30 percent and the two-year degree number way lower than that. The state is so proud of the goal that the last legislature made it law.
Just like the 1991 school reform bill.
Oregon’s not going to get to 40-40-20 by just getting people to sign compacts saying they’ll do better. It will take considerable new money for both university resources and financial aid support, a sharp U-turn from the direction the state has followed for the last 20 years. …
Lariviere had a plan that would have allowed UO to do its part, complete with financing. Kitzhaber let Pernsteiner fire him – and hasn’t come up with anything better. At some point politician’s “aspirational goals” become part of the problem.

Berdahl v. Pernsteiner, Friday Feb. 3, City Club
By uomatters | 02/01/2012 - 6:13 pm | 02/01/2012 Uncategorized

2/1/2012: OUS Board Chair Matt Donegan is still cut up from the Portland fight, and for all his bravado he apparently hasn’t shown his face in Eugene since the meeting where he and Allyn Ford told Lariviere the board had decided to fire him. So Donegan has sent us a washed-up lightweight to take his punches for him. This should be fascinating:
This Friday, February 3rd, the City Club of Eugene will host a debate on the future of higher education governance in Oregon, with Chancellor George Pernsteiner and Acting UO President Robert Berdahl. At the Eugene Hilton at 11:45.
Following the presentations, there will be an opportunity for questions from the audience. Robert Kyr, president of the UO Faculty Senate, will ask one of the first questions. Andrew Rogers, ASUO Communications Director, will ask the other.
This will also be broadcast on KLCC on Monday evening, Feb 6.
More info: http://cityclubofeugene.org/component/content/article/34/307-program-2012-02-03.html
The Eugene City Club hosts many interesting talks and is a strong part of Eugene’s civic life. They want more UO faculty members, so do what you can to make this event.
The smart money is on Berdahl – but then the smart money was on Lariviere. Pernsteiner’s a sneaky bastard, with lots of student tuition money and state perks to dole out to his entourage of suck-ups.

Comments Off on What independent boards do:
1/23/2012: Mostly deal with athletic scandals. And peanut butter. Penn State, from the Chronicle:
The meeting of the trustees, which was watched by several thousand people on the Internet and had been moved to a larger venue to accommodate members of the public and media, lasted for several hours. It was dominated by matters relating directly to or stemming from the child sex-abuse scandal that has rocked the institution since November. The acting athletic director, David M. Joyner, for instance, reassured trustees that the football program had not lost any new recruits to the scandal and that morale was steadily improving. Mr. Joyner also disclosed that Penn State would be paying out about $4.4-million in severance to six assistant football coaches who were not retained under the new head coach, Bill O’Brien.
But despite the heightened outside interest in Friday’s meeting, the Penn State trustees still had routine business interspersed with scandal-related items on their agenda, and at times shifted quite abruptly between the two. Among the more mundane issues the board addressed were expanding wireless Internet coverage in some Penn State dorm rooms and approving new building projects.
The trustees were also informed that the university was unaffected this year by a rise in peanut prices, because it had stockpiled some of the 20,000 pounds of peanut butter consumed each year on the campus.

Legislative higher ed "reform" efforts, and Eugene public meeting this Tuesday at 7PM
By uomatters | 01/15/2012 - 7:57 pm | 01/15/2012 Uncategorized

1/15/2011: The session starts Feb 1. The Oregon House Higher Education Committee is working on a resolution to establish yet another task force, with LC 288:
Establishes Task Force on Higher Education Governance and Coordi-
nation. Directs task force to analyze issues of higher education coordination
and governance and report findings and recommendations to Governor and
Legislative Assembly.
They plan a hearing 1/19, with speakers to include
– Bob Davies, President, Eastern Oregon University
– Ben Eckstein, President, Associated Students of Portland State University (sic)
– Paul Weinhold, President, University of Oregon Foundation
The committee also plans to discuss LC 261, which modifies existing law on monitoring of teaching time by professors – don’t see anything about research efforts. Strange.
Then there’s LC 287, which studies allowing students to get Oregon financial aid to take online classes at the Western Governor’s University in Utah. Controversial.
Meanwhile the Lane County delegation plans a public meeting in Eugene on their efforts to make some progress on a UO Board this session:

I find it very troubling that there are no Lane County delegates on the House higher ed committee. Combine that with the fact that there are no UO members of the OUS board, and you start to see how utterly isolated we are in state politics.

Kitzhaber’s education plans

Comments Off on Kitzhaber’s education plans
The OEIB website is here, pretty transparent. This is interesting, on local boards, from the 1/3/2011 meeting:
1/3/2011: In all the craziness around the Lariviere firing, I think I missed this 12/1/2011 Betsy Hammond story on the extremely confusing situation involving Kitzhaber’s plans for governance of Oregon education. Raises more questions than it answers:
Oregon plans to recruit and hire a new “chief education officer” who will have unprecedented power over education, including control of the chancellor of higher education, the next superintendent of Oregon’s public schools and the state community college commissioner.
Gov. John Kitzhaber’s new overarching education board, with control over preschool through universities, unanimously endorsed the general job description for that education officer Thursday.
Kitzhaber said he hopes to have the right person in the job by April….
A small group of education advocates, led by Nike government and public affairs director Julia Brim-Edwards and the vice president of the state teachers union, has since spent months fleshing out what the education officer would do and what authority the officer would have.
Based on their work, the 13-member statewide education board, formally titled the Oregon Education Investment Board, plans to ask the Legislature to require the chancellor, the community college commissioner and the executive director of Oregon’s college financial aid agency to answer to the chief education officer.
Read it all. Kitzhaber’s press release is here. The job description is posted here – I’ll believe it when it shows up in the Chronicle of higher ed job listings.

Jul 4, 2019 by Michael F. Shaughnessy EducationViews Senior Columnist
1) Professor Varela, Konrad Emil Bloch was born in Germany and studied in Munich- then what happened?
A 1964 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Dr. Bloch was a famous biomedical scientist who discovered how cholesterol was made naturally in the body. On the 21st day of January, in 1912, Konrad Emil Bloch was born to Jewish parents Fritz (father) and Hedwig Striemer Bloch (mother) in the town of Neisse (presently Nysa), Germany, in the then eastern Prussian province of Silesia, presently Poland.
In Munich, Germany, Bloch was an undergraduate student majoring in chemistry at the Technische Hochschule (technical university). While a university student young Konrad was inspired by a great professor and scientific investigator, Dr. Hans Fischer, who had just earned a Nobel of his own, in 1930, for his work on hemin, hemoglobin and chlorophyll. It was Prof. Fischer who influenced young Bloch to have an interest in studying the chemistry of naturally occurring molecules, such as fatty acids. As your question alludes, however, there was, at that time, a rather serious problem.
In 1934, Konrad Bloch had just received his so-called Diplom-Ingenieur degree in chemistry when the dean told him that Prof. Hans Fischer could not accept Bloch into his laboratory as a graduate student. Bloch later learned that the dean had lied to him.
No doubt because of Nazi Germany's racial laws, signed into legislation in the early 1930s, the real reason for his rejection had been completely different than mere rejection by a prominent scientist. Instead, Bloch's graduate school application at the Technische Hochschule was nefariously denied because he was, of course, of Jewish origin. Thus, Konrad Bloch needed to find a new graduate school, and he needed one quickly as it turned out, because the German Reich movement was spreading rather swiftly.
Thus, seeking alternatives, Bloch made an inquiry of Prof. A. Butenandt, of the Technische Hochschule at Danzig. Unfortunately, Bloch's plea for graduate school in Danzig was refused there, too.
Next, Bloch sent an application to Prof. F. Kögl, of Utrecht University, at The Netherlands, and Bloch was rebuffed, as well. While this latter rejection may seem to have been quite unfortunate at the time, because acceptance would have meant being able to leave Germany, it turned out to have two silver linings to it.
First, Holland became occupied by the German Nazis only a few months after his rejection. Thus, even if Bloch had moved there, he would have been trapped in Europe by the Nazis, and it might have been impossible, therefore, to escape the holocaust. Second, in Prof. Kögl's laboratory, they had claimed to have made two rather fantastic discoveries, one pertaining to new plant hormone, called "heteroauxin" purified from horse urine, and the other discovery pertaining to D-amino acids purified from proteins sampled from tumor tissue. Both of these "fantastic discoveries" turned out to have been faked by a laboratory assistant in Kögl's laboratory. The scandal had become public only after World War II had come to an end.
Meanwhile, back in the mid-1930s Nazi Germany era, it was clear to Bloch that he was no longer welcome to pursue a graduate education in Germany. Being aware of the anti-Semitic nature of the environment in Germany due principally to Adolf Hitler, his Nazi Party followers, and to the sympathetic general public, Bloch felt that he had no choice but to leave Germany, for good.
Escape from Nazi-occupied Europe, however, did not happen for Konrad Bloch until 1936. The pathway out for Bloch took place by another route.
With Prof. Fischer's blessing, Konrad Bloch found a new position as a laboratory assistant at the Swiss Research Institute at Davos, in neutral Switzerland. In Prof. Frederic Roulet's laboratory there, Bloch was put to work in resolving a conflict.
One idea held that cholesterol could be purified from the lipid material in the human tubercle bacillus, the bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the causative agent of tuberculosis. The other idea, supported by the great scientist Dr. Erwin Chargaff, held that such was not the case, that there was no cholesterol in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. That is to say, it was not clear whether the bacteria had cholesterol.
Bloch's first experimental work had shown that Prof. Chargaff had been correct. Bloch failed to find cholesterol in the tubercle bacilli. The negative result was disappointing, but true. It was never published. Bloch was still trapped in Europe!
Bloch's next project at Davos, in 1935, was to conduct phospholipid chemistry in order to prepare a compound called phosphatide from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. He was supposed to follow the protocol as devised by Prof. Rudolph J. Andersen, from Yale University. When Bloch's preparation showed more phosphorous and much less nitrogen (in fact, no nitrogen) than was expected, he wrote to Dr. Anderson for advice on what to do next. Dr. Anderson's reply was that Bloch's preparation was probably better than his. The reply from Yale provided the needed courage on Bloch's behalf to write again to Dr. Anderson for the daring purpose of asking him for a job. In his 1987 memoirs, published in the prestigious Annual Review of Biochemistry, Bloch writes what happened next.
In his 1987 review, Bloch reveals that, in 1936, he received two immediate replies from Yale. The first letter was from their dean congratulating him on his acceptance as a laboratory assistant in the Biological Chemistry department at their School of Medicine, and the other letter stating flatly that there were absolutely no funds available for the job offer at Yale.
Nevertheless, Konrad Bloch arrived as an immigrant to New Haven, Connecticut, in the U.S., in December of 1936, with his life's savings, which were good enough to live on for a month, but nevertheless making good his escape from Nazi-occupied Europe.
In essence, the immigrant traded his life's savings for his life.
2) I understand his Ph.D. was from Columbia University in New York City- no mean feat- what did he study there and what was his major focus?
Obtaining a graduate education at Columbia University is indeed an impressive accomplishment. Konrad Bloch's Ph.D. from the prestigious institution, however, took a rather circuitous route.
Before having left Europe for good, Bloch had followed the advice of his boss Dr. F. Roulet and attempted to use the work that he (Bloch) had already performed at the Swiss Research Institute in Davos. You'll recall above that Bloch's work at Davos had been carried out in a way that was much improved over the originator of the protocol that was first developed at Yale. The result of Bloch's methodological approach was that he had purified the true product, phosphatidic acid, rather than the expected but elusive (and incorrect) phosphatide from the tubercle bacillus lipid material.
The work, however, left Bloch forever scarred.
You see, Bloch had actually injected himself with the phosphatidic acid preparations, one from the human tubercle bacillus into his left arm and the other from cow tubercle bacillus into his left arm. The injection into the left arm produced a reaction and a scar, two-inches in diameter, which stayed with Bloch for the remainder of his life!
Reminiscing about the incident late in life, the elderly Dr. Bloch realized how greatly naïve the younger version of himself had been, apparently not giving a thought back then, in 1936, to the fact that his tubercle bacillus had stayed alive after multiple exposures to the chemical acetone!
Despite the scars, or maybe because of them, Bloch's work at Davos, Switzerland, was published in two peer-reviewed scientific journals. Dr. Roulet's idea that these published works, Bloch's first two scientific articles, might suffice for a Ph.D. project, was put to the test. According to the plan, Bloch would enter graduate school at the University of Basel, in Switzerland, and submit his two papers to the graduate committee for acceptance as a Ph.D. thesis. The plan failed to work.
Bloch's Ph.D. thesis work in 1936 at Basel was rejected by all faculty members of the committee. It had been deemed "insufficient." It was a terrible blow, because he now had to go to another school and start all over again!
Years later, returning to Basel as a Nobel Prize Laureate and keynote speaker, he presented a seminar at the same institution and couldn't resist relating this earlier incident to his captivated audience. Interestingly, his host's curiosity at Basel was piqued, and after the seminar he decided to look up the old records of the now famous 1936 thesis rejection. In the archives, Bloch's host found that the unanimous rejection in reality took the form of only one faculty member of the graduate committee having actually voted no. The policy was that if one member voted no, then the rejection was considered unanimous. The lone dissenter had been dissatisfied with the thesis because in Bloch's two publications, he had failed to cite the dissenter's own papers!
Back at Yale, in early 1937, Dr. Anderson, who was instrumental in providing Bloch the opportunity to escape Nazi Germany as an immigrant to the U.S., had given Bloch more advice. The good professor Anderson told Bloch he wouldn't learn much at Yale and that he should, therefore, go to Columbia and study under Prof. Hans Clarke.
Along with a letter of recommendation that Dr. Fischer in Germany had provided to Bloch, he also provided some advice, which was basically to seek the advice from the distinguished Prof. Max Bergmann, who had studied under Dr. Fischer and had currently been at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, in New York. The great Profs. Bergmann and Anderson were in complete agreement: Bloch should go to Hans Clarke's laboratory at Columbia.
The interview with Dr. Clarke ended in an acceptance into graduate school at Columbia University. Bloch attributed his acceptance, perhaps very likely in jest, to the fact that he played the cello, and that Dr. Clarke, who appreciated chamber music, warmly welcomed the new cellist.
Bloch conveyed the good news of his acceptance to his parents and to Profs. Anderson and Bergmann, at which point Bergmann conveyed more good news. Dr. Bergmann told Bloch that he was aware of a promising funding source for Bloch's graduate education!
The source of this funding for graduate school was Dr. Leo Wallerstein, in charge of Wallerstein Laboratories, Inc. Dr. Wallerstein had become quite wealthy, having invented a method for clarifying Lager beer using proteolytic enzymes. The lucrative nature of the invention made Dr. Wallerstein a noted philanthropist who was especially interested in helping young scholars and scientists who were refugees trying to escape war torn Europe and Nazi Germany. Bloch was awarded a one-year Wallerstein graduate fellowship for graduate study at Columbia.
Unlike the case with the unforgiving Basel graduate committee, Dr. Clarke was happy to accept Bloch's first two papers as sufficient for a partial fulfillment of a Ph.D. thesis, but Columbia's policy was that at least some of the graduate work had to be performed at Columbia proper. Thus, Dr. Clarke assigned another small project to Bloch.
In Clarke's laboratory at Columbia, Konrad Bloch was charged with making several derivatives based on N-alkyl-cysteine, in order to measure how labile the sulfur content was in the products. The project went well, except that at one point, an important product, called N-methyl-cysteine hydrochloride, failed to turn into visible crystals, as had been expected. It was considered a setback.
However, with sufficient incubation time being allowed the expected crystals managed to surface! Now, it was a cause for celebration!
Apparently, prominent scientists, one being the famous Prof. Vincent du Vigneaud at Cornell, had also tried to obtain the important N-methyl-cysteine crystals and failed.
A gleeful Bloch happily provided the du Vigneaud laboratory at Cornell some Columbian crystals to use as a starter material for the Cornell group. A forever grateful Dr. du Vigneaud paid a visit to Columbia University and thanked Bloch in person.
The N-methyl-cysteine work performed at Columbia, along with the phosphatidic acid work performed at Davos, was deemed sufficient for a graduate thesis, and Konrad was granted a Ph.D. from Columbia University, in 1938.
3) Life took him to Harvard and eventually to the Nobel Prize- can you re-trace some of his achievements along the way?
The road to Harvard was also circuitous. After taking his Ph.D. from Columbia University, in 1938, under Prof. Clarke, the newly minted Dr. Bloch worked briefly with Max Bovarnick in the same lab trying to synthesize a so-called "super hormone," that is, one that took a thyroxin derivative and used it to load up with lots of iodine atoms and phenyl rings. It was hoped that the massive end-product would have potent biological activity. Unfortunately, the super hormone product had no activity.
Next, Dr. Rudolf Schoenheimer, another Columbia University faculty who had been trained earlier with Prof. Anderson at Yale, offered Dr. Bloch a job with him. Prof. Schoenheimer was a young genius who invoked a method for tracing radioactive isotopes through biochemicals in order to elucidate metabolic pathways, an important area of biomedical research. He put Dr. Bloch in charge of making radioactively labeled creatine to trace the nitrogen-15 isotope to creatinine. Next, Dr. Bloch was tasked with attempting to elucidate the biosynthetic pathway for creatine. However, before the second project regarding creatine biosynthesis could be finished, Dr. Bloch received an offer he couldn't refuse.
Dr. Bloch took a higher-paying job in New York, at the Mount Sinai Hospital Cancer Research center. It paid twice the salary he had been making at Columbia, and he needed the money in order to afford getting married to Lore Teutsch. A year later, however, Dr. Schoenheimer provided a counter offer, matching the New York salary. Dr. Bloch had recalled how happy and productive the work had been in Schoenheimer's laboratory, and he eagerly returned to Columbia, in 1940.
It is back at Columbia where Dr. Schoenheimer had asked Dr. Bloch to now study cholesterol synthesis. The question put to them was where did the oxygen in cholesterol come from? That is, did the oxygen come from water or molecular oxygen (i.e., O2)? As brilliant as these two hypotheses were (water versus O2), the project went nowhere. Unfortunately, the mass spectroscopy methodology that was badly needed in order to measure the incorporated oxygen atoms into cholesterol hadn't been invented at the time.
Then, to make matters worse, a terrible disaster happened.
Although Dr. Schoenheimer was a genius, he was also a manic depressive, and on September 11, 1941, he committed suicide. In his wake he left behind mayhem and uncertainty in the laboratory.
Following the advice of Dr. Hans Clarke, the group that had been left behind thus chose to finish the remaining projects and then study whatever they might so desire afterwards. The problem was, however, that no one had actually been charge of the individual projects in Dr. Schoenheimer's laboratory. It was not certain who would take over each of the various projects. After much discussion, Dr. Bloch got the so-called lipid project; and Dr. D. Rittenberg had gotten the protein synthesis project, while Dr. D. Shemin got the amino acid project.
However, Dr. Bloch had soon thereafter lost all interest in pursuing the oxygen origin question for cholesterol. Another laboratory group from Germany had found that the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in acetate were readily converted into sterols. Dr. Bloch focused, instead, on examining cholesterol as a source of bile acids and steroid hormones. He continued with this area of study at the University of Chicago, where he took on an academic post as an assistant professor in their Biochemistry department. During this time, he also began a systematic evaluation of the reactions that made cholesterol, using acetate, of course, as a starting point. The cholesterol synthesis work, though labor intensive and time consuming, nevertheless, proved to be fruitful.
In 1954, Dr. Bloch, an established investigator in his own right, moved to Harvard. In his 1987 memoir, Dr. Bloch wrote that he had no reason to leave Chicago, except that the Bloch family had long lived to go to the big city. Probably another reason to leave Chicago was that Dr. Bloch's salary would be endowed, and he would thus become the new Higgins Professor of Biochemistry, a prestigious position at a prestigious institution.
Back in Chicago, before the untimely death of Prof. Schoenheimer and with the knowledge firmly in hand that the starting point for making cholesterol was the 2-carbon molecule called acetate, Dr. Bloch had invoked the labelling approach to study cholesterol synthesis. It proved to be a daunting task because cholesterol had 27 carbon molecules! Using radiolabeled acetate as a starting point they found that at least half of the carbons in cholesterol came from acetate.
Besides acetate, another clue to making cholesterol was shark fat.
The 1926 work of Prof. Harold John Channon at University College, London, showed that when laboratory test animals were fed a preparation of shark oil called squalene, cholesterol levels increased, indicating that squalene was an intermediate, probably between acetate and the cholesterol end product. Furthermore, in 1934, Prof. Robert Robinson at Oxford had hypothesized that the shark squalene could form a circle upon itself, a process known as cyclization, to form the ring-based cholesterol structure. It was an intriguing idea.
Meanwhile, the cholesterol synthesis experiments of Prof. Bloch continued in the Chemistry department at Harvard, after his move to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1954.
Prof. Robinson had proposed a rather specific mechanism for circularizing the squalene to form cholesterol in one step. But when Prof. Bloch and his colleague Dr. Robert Woodward considered the cyclization phenomenon, they felt that another intermediate called lanosterol would be formed, instead, of cholesterol. Using radiolabeled acetate, they found that the appropriate radioactive carbon of the acetate ended up in lanosterol, as predicted, demonstrating that the so-called Bloch-Woodward mechanism that squalene circularized to form lanosterol was correct. Furthermore, it showed that the Robinson proposal that squalene circularized to make cholesterol was inaccurate.
In 1965, Prof. Konrad Bloch shared the Nobel with Prof. Feodor Lynen, in the category of Physiology or Medicine.
The path from Munich to Harvard and the Nobel had been circuitous indeed.
4) Bloch apparently shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine back in 1964- interestingly enough when the Beatles were arriving on American shores with Feodor Lynen. Who was Lynen and how did they come to collaborate?
Professor Feodor Lynen shared the Nobel Prize with Prof. Bloch in 1964. Dr. Lynen was housed at the prestigious Max-Planck Institute for Cell Chemistry. It's not entirely clear that these two biomedical investigators collaborated together. Each investigator had somewhat distinctive interests. Prof. Bloch's interest was primarily concerned with the metabolism of cholesterol while that of Prof. Lynen was in the area of lipid and amino acid metabolism.
The main scientific connection between Profs. Bloch and Lynen was acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), an important molecule described by the famous Nobel Laureate Fritz Lipmann. At Harvard Prof. Lipmann delineated the biochemical conversion of pyruvate, the glycolytic oxidative breakdown product of glucose, to acetyl CoA, which is a central metabolite.
In Prof. Bloch's case, acetate was converted to acetyl CoA and it could combine with acetoacyl CoA to form 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) and about 30 more biochemical steps later, cholesterol was made in the end. Acetyl CoA was the starting point, and Prof. Bloch's interest was, thus, a biosynthetic process.
In Prof. Lynen's case, acetyl CoA was formed after the breakdown of lipids. The enzyme lipase participates in fat breakdown and releases free fatty acids, which are long hydrocarbon chains. The fatty acid breakdown releases acetyl CoA molecules. The acetyl CoA was the endpoint of fatty acid breakdown, and Prof. Lynen's interest was, thus, a degradative process.
During the process of fatty acid breakdown metabolism, two carbons are cleaved off of the long chain fatty acids, in a step-by-step series of biochemical reactions. Such fatty acid molecules can be quite lengthy, anywhere on average of about 16 carbons, sometimes shorter or longer, depending on the lipid composition. For example, a fatty acid that consists of 16 carbons along the chain will, therefore, yield 8 molecules of acetyl CoA. Each acetyl CoA molecule contains two carbons. The fatty acid breakdown pathway is called beta-oxidation and is often denoted as β-oxidation.
If the fatty acid chain consists of an odd number of carbons in the chain, acetyl CoA molecules are still produced but eventually a three-carbon version will also be made, called propionyl CoA which has to be handled somewhat differently, biochemically speaking. Propionyl CoA can be converted to a succinyl CoA, which can then be further metabolized.
The end commodities of fatty acid breakdown, acetyl CoA and propionyl CoA, are oxidized by the famous Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle, a pathway for which Sir Dr. Hans Krebs shared the Nobel Prize, in 1953, with Prof. Lipmann.
5) Cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism seem to be the main thrust of their work. Why is this stuff so important and did it serve as any kind of foundational work?
Cholesterol is important for several reasons. First, it is known to be acutely involved in cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. These conditions can in turn lead to increased risks of stroke and heart attacks. Associated with this, certain genetic diseases are known in which cholesterol concentrations in the blood are hyper-elevated, leading to serious medical conditions. These issues are enormously important in biomedical science.
While the reduction and maintenance of cholesterol in the blood to healthy levels is a major objective in human cardiovascular medicine, cholesterol may also serve useful purposes. Thus, another reason cholesterol is important is the role it plays as a starting point, a precursor if you will, for the synthesis of signaling molecules, such as steroid hormones. Among these biomolecules include cortisol, estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone.
A fourth reason cholesterol is important is that when it is incorporated into the insides of biological membranes, which surround living cells, cholesterol serves to regulate the fluidity of the membranes. Another justification for the relevance of cholesterol is that in the skin, it serves as a precursor to the synthesis of vitamin D using ultraviolet light from the sun in order to do so. The vitamin D in turn plays a role in controlling the levels and biochemistry of calcium and phosphorous. Cholesterol is also an important precursor in the formation of bile salts, which in turn are useful for emulsifying dietary fats and in inhibiting the growth of potentially dangerous microbes, especially certain Gram-positive bacteria.
Fatty acids are important for several reasons. First, the fatty acids can be used as a sort of energy storage system in living beings. The storage form of lipids consists of molecules called triacylglycerols. These triacylglycerols consist of a glycerol backbone connected to three long chain fatty acids. Another reason fatty acids are important is that they can be used as a biological fuel, i.e., energy for conducting living purposes. When an individual needs biological energy, it can be obtained from the stored lipids.
Another important aspect to fatty acids is that they are the staring points for the biosynthesis of phospholipids, which in turn can be used to make biological membranes that surround living cells. Without biological membranes, there would be no life, and fatty acids play an important role in maintaining this life process.
Fatty acids can also be used biochemically to modify proteins. Fatty acids can be attached to certain proteins in order to alter their structure and, thus, their functions. This is an important way to regulate the activities of proteins.
In cancer, fatty acid metabolism is altered in such a way that fatty acid synthesis is enhanced. This is because when tumor tissue is produced, the cancer cells being made need membranes to surround them, and fatty acids are needed to make the membranes.
Pathologically, cholesterol and fatty acids can work together. A diet rich in both cholesterol and fatty acids can result in greatly enhanced formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which can block coronary arteries, reducing oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart and increasing the risk of strokes and myocardial infarctions, i.e., heart attacks.
6) What have I neglected to ask about this famous scientist?
While Prof. Bloch's prime interest of study was focused on cholesterol biochemistry, as mentioned above, there were several other areas that held his investigative curiosity, as well. For instance, while Prof. Lynen's focus was on fatty acid hydrolysis, Dr. Bloch's focus, in contrast, was in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. Regarding this latter focus, Dr. Bloch took advantage of microbes, such as bacteria and yeasts, to study fatty acid production.
He found out from several of his colleagues that these kinds of microbes could easily be made into mutant versions that exhibited important properties which could be exploited for the study of lipid metabolism. For instance, Prof. Bloch used microbial mutants to examine the oxygen requirements for the synthesis of the fatty acid called oleic acid from stearoyl CoA and oleoyl CoA precursors.
Dr. Bloch was a key investigator in the discovery of an important protein, called acyl carrier protein, ACP. The ACP molecules were demonstrated to be important in making fatty acids. Many of the precursor intermediates formed during fatty acid biosynthesis had ACP molecules attached to them. During their studies, it was found out that another research group headed by Dr. Roy Vagelos was working along the same lines, studying the ACP processes, as well. After agreeing to meet at a scientific conference over cocktails, the two groups decided that instead of partaking in a race to the finish, each group would instead focus on separate projects so as to not duplicate their efforts. Thus, Dr. Bloch's group studied the production of unsaturated fatty acids under oxygen-free conditions while Dr. Vagelos's research laboratory focused on studying the process of fatty acid chain elongation.
Using mutant microbes, Prof. Bloch also managed to learn about the biochemistry of unsaturated fatty acids, such as olefinic acid, in lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus. There were conflicting ideas regarding the production of olefin, an unsaturated form of fatty acid. One idea was that it formed because of an oxidative dehydrogenation mechanism versus the notion that olefin production involved a dehydration step of so-called β-hydroxy acids. To support their contention, bacterial Escherichia coli mutants were used to purify the necessary enzyme responsible, called β-hydroxydecanoyl thioester dehydrase, which they colloquially, perhaps affectionately, referred to simply as their "dehydrase."
In Dr. Bloch's continued study of the β-hydroxydecanoyl thioester dehydrase enzyme it turned out to produce a rather startling discovery!
To better examine the so-called dehydrase enzyme, Dr. Bloch's laboratory needed its substrate in order to do so. However, the required substrate, 3- hydroxydecanoyl thioester, was not available commercially for purchase. So they set about to make necessary substrate in their laboratory, which turned out to be an arduous painstaking, but fortuitous, effort!
First, they found a mixture of contaminating molecules in their substrate preparation. The mixture included not only the necessary substrate but also a confounding inhibitor molecule! The Bloch laboratory managed to purify each of the compounds in the mixture, including the pure substrate, but also another substance, called 3-decynoyl thioester, which when purified to homogeneity, inhibited the dehydrase enzyme! Shockingly, the dehydrase enzyme MADE this confounding inhibitor! That is to say, by making its own specialized inhibitor, the enzyme committed suicide!
Dr. Bloch called this phenomenon "enzyme suicide!"
On the 15th day of October, in the year 2000, died from congestive heart failure, at the age of 88 years. His beloved wife Lore passed away 10 years later, at the age of 98 years. The Bloch couple had had two children, Peter and Susan, plus 2 grandchildren. | 2021/03/05 00:51:49 | https://www.educationviews.org/an-interview-with-professor-manuel-varela-konrad-emil-bloch-what-does-he-have-to-do-with-cholesterol/ | mC4 | en |

In a heavy frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, lemon rind, lemon thyme and cook 1 minute.
Add asparagus on both sides of fish, sprinkle all with salt and pepper, cover pan, reduce heat to medium, cook until salmon reaches 136 degrees internally (4-6 minutes).
Today we take a look at the more advanced watercooling kit from Antec, the 920 comes with double fans and a bigger radiator for example.
This 920 Kuhler from Antec has the same box as the 620 does, it looks the same but it has a print of the 920 on front of it.
This kit is similar to the 620 with a couple of changes, this for example has a bigger radiator and it is equipped with sensors and software so you can monitor things in Windows.
The tubing is very hard and stiff though even with this more expensive and more advanced kit. You can though bend the tubing on this kit around tight edges without squeezing the tubing together.
what is this cooler compared to? I would like to see it compared to the thermalright AXP 140 to be honest as I cannot find a cooler that looks comparable for htpc.
Nice sites! I am very glad to see the blog and the content you have posted is really amazing and fabulous. You have described about how do Water cooling kit work properly?
You must have had some more thoughts while testing it – could you elaborate a bit more on the acoustics?
Well its hard to say since everyone hears noise different, noise levels are good at the lowest leven but on the other hand they can be loud at the highest RPM levels. | OSCAR-2019 | en |

In this video I overlay the plan diagrams on the site plan which reveals a clear favorite. I go on to describe 6 tactics I use to turn a simple diagram into a meaningful floor plan.
They are:
1) Study a building precedent (in this case a barn)
2) Develop an ordering system (grid, column layout, geometry, functional)
3) Create zones: entry, circulation, storage, living. Divide public and private spaces.
4) Analyze adjacencies – group common functions and support spaces. Make sure their location makes sense for the plan location.
5) Refer back to the concept. In this case the lens for the seasons concept reinforced the barn plan typology.
6) Create layers of meaning. Begin by thinking about the way we experience space or places and look for opportunities for the building to enhance daily life.
The next video explores the use of small physical study models for solar, material, and proportioning studies. | 2021-12-03T15:34:28Z | https://dezignark.com/blog/designing-a-small-studio-part-4-revisiting-and-integrating-the-concept/ | OSCAR-2201 | en |

What are the 3 main tests associated with Steam Quality Testing?
Dryness, Superheat and Non Condensable Gases (NCG)
On occasion one of the channels on my Kaye Validator 2000 data logger reads "UNDER" or "OVER", what's the cause of this?
Typically a channel will read "UNDER" or "OVER" when water has entered the SIM of the Kaye Validator 2000 data logger and the cold junction has become wet. Check each thermocouple wire to ensure that you have added drip-cuts to each wire 1m from the SIM to allow the condensate to drain away from the sheathing. Sometimes a broken thermocouple is replaced with a new thermocouple but a drip-cut has not been added to the new wire and water finds it's way into the SIM.
The SIM should be opened and allowed to dry out. Paper towels should be used to get rid of any excess water. A high pressure air source can be used to blow away excess water also. The channel should return to a room temperature value once it is fully dried out. Ensure that you have rectified the source of the water before proceeding with further studies. You may notice that the wire terminations have oxidized (looks like white powder) due to the presence of moisture. A small piece of emery paper connected to a narrow wire or flat head screwdriver can be used to restore the terminals.
Typically a channel will read "OPEN" when either the positive or negative wire of the thermocouple has been damaged or has cracked. The most common place to find this is at the tip of the thermocouple whereby the twisted pair junction needs to be re-made. Ideally the junction should also be welded using a thermocouple welder as this prevents the wires from becoming separated and hence prolongs the overall lifetime of the thermocouple loom. Welded thermocouples are less likely to result in repeat temperature mapping studies due to open circuits. QualUs have a range of thermocouple welders to suit all requirements, contact QualUs today for further details. | 2020/07/12 22:55:09 | http://qualus.ie/useful-sterilization-and-autoclave-qulification-blog/ | mC4 | en |
Title: One of many untold stories
Medium: canvas, silk, hessian, paper, card, waxed linen thread, tin
Dimensions: 82.5 x 115 x 19 cm
I was given a copy of my grandfather's diary that he had written when he was away in the Second World War. I had been thinking how lucky we were, to still be able to have and treasure his diary, that he had written and stored in an old Tobacco tin, and that it is still in our family...this led me to think about how innovative he was to manage to keep it safe and dry, how he cut out all the pages and stored them in the tobacco tin and kept his pencil sharp enough to write that small. To think about how all the other soldiers may have had journals/diaries and what happened to them. Did they take the time to write them?
To think about how all the other soldiers may have had journals/diaries and what happened to them. Did they take the time to write them? Did other families get to see and read their grandfathers diary? Were they kept, or were they just lost amongst all other books and tossed out at some stage? Then I thought about all the diaries and journals that never returned to Australia but were lost with their owners when they were 'killed in action'. To think of all the stories that would never return home to be told, or shared, or treasured. This led to my work of making books with no words in, to remind us of all the 'Untold Stories' the casualties of war, and in amongst these I have put my grandfather's very special diary. I have used a variety of recycled paper and fabrics to create journals of many different sizes and shapes. The papers and fabrics have been rusted and dyed with natural dyes and waxed to make them look old weathered and well used, like they have been carted through the war then left unread, unused, un-noticed and unloved on a shelf on someone's cupboard or shelf.

L'âme Maya, in reference to "The Mayan Soul", was born from combining the ancestral traditions of the Mayan Culture and French Haute Cosmetics.
The Mayans were one of the most advanced cultures of their time for their knowledge in different areas, such as astronomy, medicine and art. As is well known, France is considered a leader in the cosmetics industry, where the most important laboratories are located and the most exquisite cosmetics in the world are created.
From this combination of tradition, the latest technology and luxury comes L'âme Maya.

A Cambrian varsity freshman class twenty strong
There's a bit of a catch-22 in play with an incoming recruiting class that numbered no less than twenty strong, introduced earlier this week at Cambrian College.
To be sure, there was a definite buzz in the air at the New Sudbury campus as a whole slew of aspiring Golden Shield freshmen, covering all five of the varsity sports in their roster, were introduced to the media.
That large a rookie class, however, also implies that a handful of the Cambrian teams are looking at some form of rebuild in 2018-2019, none moreso than the women's volleyball team.
Coach Dale Beausoleil and company, who are ironically hosting the OCAA Women's Volleyball Championships in February of 2019, return only four players from last year's team, welcoming seven newcomers to the fold last Monday.
That grouping includes 18 year-old middle Maggie Little, a pending graduate of Timiskaming District Secondary School, the setting which ultimately played a large part in grooming her for the role upon which she will embark in the fall.
"I played hockey since grade one, and basketball and soccer for a long time," said Little. "I started playing volleyball in grade seven, but in grade nine, it started to become more serious. I really liked my high school coaches and they made volleyball a lot better for me, they helped me enjoy the game a lot more."
"My hitting got a lot better than it was," Little continued. "I have an approach now - I didn't before." Joining the New Liskeard native on the volleyball court will be Erica Scott Thomas (Guelph), Kayla Murray (Whitefish - Lockerby Composite), Destinee Pine-Hull (Sault Ste Marie), Amanda Lawson (Sudbury - Lasalle), Alison LaBrash (Capreol - Confederation) and Britney Chevrier (Capreol - Confederation).
It turns out a high school coach also heavily influenced the high school athletic path of Alex Thériault, one of three additions that coach Tom Sutton greeted to the Cambrian men's volleyball crew.
"From elementary through high school, I played a lot of different sports, mostly team sports," noted the 18 year old product of Ecole secondaire catholique l'Horizon. "But monsieur Patrick Gervais is an amazing coach. I just love his energy, his commitment to the sport, his knowledge, everything. He really just brought me from a very average player to a pretty good player."
The right side who enters the Millwright program in September knows full well that the next step will require even more development in his skill set in order his to become a factor in the highly competitive OCAA West Division.
"I need to improve my speed on blocking and hitting," said Thériault. "There are some big guys out there, and they're going to hit and they're going to block." Also introduced as new members of the men's volleyball team were Julien Giroux (Sudbury - Lasalle Secondary) and Dylan Terris (Sudbury - Lasalle Secondary), the latter back home after a short stint at Lakehead University.
On the soccer side of things, men's head coach Stephane Legrand is looking to merge a small but impactful group of fresh recruits, including Dyk Taw, who captained his high school team (Winston Churchill High School) in Thunder Bay since he was in grade nine.
Born in Thailand but moving to Canada at the age of seven, Taw will offer some much-appreciated flexibility in the lineup for Legrand, his speed a key asset, regardless of where they choose to position the midfielder.
"I've switched around a lot," said Taw. "Defensive mid, attacking mid, anywhere in the middle, both for high school and club. I love making plays, not just scoring, but getting people to score in general."
Joining Taw in making Cambrian their post-secondary selection of choice are soccer players Jesse Johnson (Sudbury - Lockerby Composite), Kiel Cress (Lively District Secondary), Kevin Martin Rojas (born in Cuba but moved to Sudbury about five years ago - Lockerby Composite) and Noah Chamberland (Muskoka).
The Shield women's soccer team added four to the fold in the form of Taylor Bellini (Sault Ste Marie), Elizabeth Chisholm (Burlington), Laura Fratin (Sudbury - Lasalle) and Jessie Marleen Hayward (Acton).
Last but not least, the small group that is Cambrian cross-country received a nice shot in the arm when Lo-Ellen Park track star Sydney Tarini opted to enroll in the college's Pre-Health Sciences program.
Tarini captured several city titles during her time as a Knight and shouyld benefit nicely from the opportunity to train with OCAA silver medallist Mary Strain. | 2019/01/20 11:51:50 | https://www.sudburysports.com/?content=articles.php&articleId=8837 | mC4 | en |

My Decision To Blog | Wade Adventures in KL
June 13, 2016 June 13, 2016 ~ wadelifeinkl
Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening! I swear this time zone change is absolutely crazy and has been a huge adjustment for us, but we are now for the most part living our day during what we used to know as night and our night during what we used to know as day! So whatever time of day it is for you….welcome to my blog!
So I made the decision to start a blog with the encouragement of my husband, in order to capture our family experiences while living in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Although I am a pretty avid Facebook poster, this seemed like a far better way for me to share with family & friends our adventures in KL. My goal is to enlighten others about a completely different culture and way of living, share our individual experiences as expats and the everyday encounters that we have, highlight some vacations & family journeys that we embark on and hopefully entertain y'all with what I will call 'the international learning curve'.
There is so much to learn about this place that we will call home for the next 2 years and there is so much that we want to do while we are here…it truly seems like the opportunities are endless and I hope that those who choose to follow my blog will feel like they are in some way on this journey with us. So….who are 'The Wade's? Why are we in KL? Well….continue to read my blog and I will very soon introduce you to my family and our decision to move halfway across the world! | 2020/06/01 21:32:28 | https://wadelifeinkl.com/2016/06/13/my-decision-to-blog/?like_comment=2&_wpnonce=dc17e32a6c | mC4 | en |

The OPEX hosted IVR Satisfaction Survey combines the best features of traditional IVR-based satisfaction surveys with a multitude of additional benefits:
It incorporates all the best features of a sophisticated system without the need for capital outlay. Simply pay for what you use.
The OPEX IVR Satisfaction Survey offers you assistance in script design and planning. Once the script and expected deliverables have been agreed, OPEX handles the rest with no impact on your resources.
Intelligent score-based routing
The OPEX IVR Satisfaction Survey enables intelligent decision-making based on outcomes. This may be intercepting or contacting a very dissatisfied customer, or quickly identifying a rogue agent who is having a negative influence on customers' responses.
MIS on Tap
Because the OPEX Service is a hosted service, it means that Management Information can easily be accessed by means of a Web Interface connecting into our secure portal..
Combine Verbal and Data Response
Sometimes a 'scored response' (i.e. "press 1 for good..." etc) is insufficient and a verbal response is needed. Combining verbal and data responses can give more specific feedback and around 5% of respondents given the option will also provide a verbal response.
As a hosted service, reports can be delivered on a scheduled or pre-defined basis. Ad-hoc reports can be run by anyone with access to the secure portal - this can simply be call statistics and conversion rates, or more sophisticated reports.
The OPEX service enables the alteration of scripts providing the flexibility to respond in real-time to a campaign's needs - a real value-add for your customer service operations. | 2021/04/18 11:22:13 | http://www.opexhosting.co.uk/products-ivr-sat-survey/ | mC4 | en |
The Greatest Writer of the 19th Century » Brownson's Writings » The Conclusion of the Boston Quarterly Review
The Conclusion of the Boston Quarterly Review
The Boston Quarterly Review, Oct. 1842
Art. II.--End of the Volume
In announcing that with this Number the publication of the Boston Quarterly Review is discontinued, we offer no valedictory; for we have no wish to take leave of our readers, nor expectation that they and we are about to part company. Five years' acquaintance ought not to be severed with a stroke of the pen. Most of our readers have had in some degree to share with us in the evil report we have borne, and all men are so made that they can never become wholly indifferent to those with whom they have suffered. The frank manner in which we have spoken, the honesty and truthfulness of our utterances to ourselves, have given our readers an opportunity of knowing us personally, at least so far as worth knowing. The five volumes of the Review now completed, the greater part of which we have ourselves written, must be taken very much in the light of a private Journal. We have spoken as we thought and felt at the time of writing, as unreservedly as if we had been writing in a private Diary, for no eye but our own. Happy is he who can so speak, with less to regret on review, or with less that must expose him to ridicule, censure, or misconstruction. In these volumes we have embodied five years of our life,--our thoughts, our likes and dislikes, our loves and our hates, our aspirations and hopes. They have their faults; for what life is perfect? but they have proceeded from a living soul, and a warm heart, and they have in them, let the world say what it will, something of vitality. Crude, ill-tempered, hasty, rash, impetuous, they may be at times; but when criticism has done its work, when the mists of prejudice have been dissipated, andn they stand forth for what they really are, they will be seen to bear the marks of one, who to many faults joined at least the one virtue of being able, in good report and in evil, in weakness and in strength, in poverty and disgrace, to be true to the great Idea which has possessed him almost from the cradle--that of man's moral, intellectual, and physical amelioration, on earth.
These volumes mark an important epoch in the life of the Editor. Friendless and alone five years ago, he started this Journal; almost friendless and alone has he continued it to this time; and he parts with it not without a pang, like that with which one looks for the last time upon the face of a dear friend. Nevertheless he owes to this Review some years of a life, for the most part dark and full of trouble, of very high enjoyment, intellectual and moral. And if it has raised him up enemies, it has also brought him some warm-hearted friends, on whom he can count, and whose friendship is ample remuneration for any measure of abuse that has been or can be received. We were wrong in saying that we had continued the work almost without friends. It is not so. Every one who has continued to go with us, has become in some sort a personal friend, and the great body of the American people will one day be among the number of our friends; for we have a true American heart, and feel a fraternal relation with them all. Pardon this egotism, which the very wide abuse we have at times received in some degree renders excusable.
Nevertheless, we are not to part company with the readers of the Boston Quarterly. With this number will be sent to our subscribers the October number of the Democratic Review, in which our publication will hereafter be merged. An arrangement to this effect has been made with the proprietors of that Journal, very much to our satisfaction, and which promises to be much to our pecuniary advantage.
An arrangement is also made with the Editor of the Democratic Review, by which the Editor of this Journal is to be a regular contributor to its pages, and by which he is to be permitted to select his own topics of discussion, and to discuss them in his own way, as freely as if it were his own Journal. The much wider circulation of the Democratic Review, than has been attained by ours, makes this arrangement very desirable to us, because it gives us a much larger,--though not a better,--public to address, and nothing will be wanting to complete our happiness, if our old friends go with us. They must do so, for we should hardly know how to speak, if we did not feel that we were still speaking to those to whom our tones, all unmusical as they are, have become familiar, and not altogether unpleasant.
The Democratic Review is published at New York, by J. & H.G. Langley, 57 Chatham Street, monthly, at Five Dollars a year. Our own contributions to it will be almost as much as we usually contribute to the Quarterly, and the subscribers will obtain as much matter for five dollars, as we have furnished them for twelve or fifteen. The work is very neatly printed, and ably and judiciously edited by John. L. O'Sullivan, Esq., who has proved himself a pleasing, able, and vigorous writer, and acommplished scholar, and a man of great moral purity, force, and elevation; liberal and catholic in his feelings; firm, decided, independent, uncompromising in his principles. American literature can boast few names that promise more than his. Five years' experience as Editor of the Democratic Review, and the brilliant success which has attended his labors, amply justify our estimation of his worth and ability. In addition to his own essays, the Democratic Review is encriched by contributions from the first literary men in the country, such, for instance, as Alexander H. Everett, Bancroft, Cooper, Cass, Hawthorne, Bryant, Goodwin, &c.
The Democratic Review is the organ of the Democratic party, and has therefore of course a decided political character; but it must not be supposed from this, that it is entirely taken up with political discussions. It is a magazine, and devoted principally to general literature. In it, Bryant, Whitier, and othes, publish their poetry, and in it we intend publishing our general system of philosophy and metaphysics, the Introduction to which appears in the number for October. It stands already at the heead of the Monthly Magazines in this country, and it is the intention of its persevering and energetic Editor, that no pains shall be spared to make it in every way worthy of the party whose organ it is, of the rising literature of the country, and of the active, intense, yet catohlic spirit of the age. If anything could make us not regreat parting with our own Review, it is that we are to aid in a work so respectable, and be in some measure also uniteed with a man, scholar, and politician, whom we so highly esteem as its accomplished and independent Editor.
With these remarks, we take our leave for the present of our readers, with the hope of meeting them again on the first of each month, in a company both they and we shall love. | 2021-12-01T22:04:19Z | http://orestesbrownson.org/171.html | OSCAR-2201 | en |
GOP, Democrats grapple with post-Chauvin trial world – Patriot Daily Alerts
HomeLatest NewsGOP, Democrats grapple with post-Chauvin trial world
"The challenge that Democrats face going forward is how do we sing for the same hymnal about how we move forward," said Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright. "I think Republicans are really challenged with some of the rhetoric and language that Donald Trump, the former president, has used. [It's] been a motivating factor for parts of their base, and they don't know how to operate now without that being the norm."
Trump and the GOP hammered Democrats over the issue of defunding the police and protests last cycle, painting the party's candidates as anti-law enforcement in 2020. The strategy appeared to work in more than half a dozen districts where Republican candidates ousted Democratic incumbents.
Many Republicans praised the verdict in Chauvin's trial, but there were also warnings that social pressure might influence future juries judging the police.
"I don't know what happened with this verdict, but if that's something that can potentially happen, where you basically have justice made meted out because the jury is scared of what a mob may do?" Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) told Fox News's Laura Ingraham on Tuesday.
The governor was responding to a clip of an unnamed person in New York saying, "If you continue to allow us to be murdered in the streets without justice, we will raise hell in America."
"With this Chauvin trial, everyone was already decided on whether or not he was guilty and what they would do if he got off and didn't get the full maximum penalty," said Terry Schilling, the executive director of the conservative group American Principles Project.
"There was a mob aspect to this and everyone's afraid of it," he added.
The GOP has signaled it sees political opportunity in such arguments.
Republicans this week pounced on comments from Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), in which she said that if Chauvin was not found guilty, protesters will have "to get more confrontational."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) sought to censure Waters over the remarks. The resolution was blocked by Democrats, but Republicans are signaling they want to tie other Democrats to Waters and her remarks.
"That won't fly with swing district voters, especially if Republican candidates denounce all violent protests," veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week.
Republicans also say that images of protests and riots will be used to galvanize their own base of voters, but add they are unsure of how it will play without Trump at the top of the ticket.
"The Republican Party lost a lot of suburban women, for example when Trump was president," Schilling said. "Now that Donald Trump isn't on the ballot to distract voters, will suburban women see these ads about rioting and defunding the police?"
Republicans point to their party's record on passing criminal justice reform, along with Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), the only Black Republican in the Senate, leading the GOP's charge on police reform.
"We know that the law can go too far and not be merciful enough," Schilling said.
Democrats are pushing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which seeks to reform all levels of law enforcement. The measure has little chance of winning 10 GOP votes needed to pass the upper chamber. Scott is currently in discussions with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) on potential compromise legislation. But Democrats say they are still skeptical of GOP solutions on a number of issues involving racial justice and police accountability.
"They do not walk their talk," Seawright said. "They talk about [how] they want equality and equity, but yet when you look at some of their legislative agendas, and their legislative proposals, and some of the things they advocate for and some of the things they advocate against, the bark does not back up the bite."
Going into the midterms, Democrats say the nation's changing demographics are playing in their favor, along with changing perceptions of protests, law enforcement and race.
"The challenge for Republicans, on the other hand, is the fact that the country is getting browner, and as older generations transition out and newer generations are coming in, the mindset and the thinking does not reflect those of their parents and grandparents on these consequential issues like race," Seawright said.
While the Chauvin trial is over, there appears to be no end in sight for the issue of police violence against Black Americans.
Ohio authorities are in the process of investigating the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant by a Columbus, Ohio, officer. Police body camera footage shows Bryant charging another woman with a knife before she was shot.
The political machinations take place as more and more people die in incidents with police.
Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man who was shot and killed by a police officer at a traffic stop in Minnesota earlier this month, was eulogized at a funeral on Thursday. In North Carolina, protesters are demanding answers in the police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr., an unarmed Black man who was shot Wednesday.
Democrats say that the seemingly never-ending list of police shootings of African Americans is emblematic of a larger problem with law enforcement, which many say is rooted in racial bias.
"All I think Democrats want for communities that look like mine are oceans of justice and rivers of fairness," Seawright said. | 2022/06/28 21:19:21 | https://patriotdailyalerts.com/gop-democrats-grapple-with-post-chauvin-trial-world/ | mC4 | en |
www.agp.org | archivos de los protestos globales: Bolivia - Who is Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada?
"Goni" - Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada
Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada y Sánchez Bustamante (born July 1, 1930), familiarly known as "Goni", is a former two-term president of Bolivia. He is credited for "shock therapy" (with Jeffrey Sachs) – the extreme measures taken by Bolivia to cut down on rampant hyperinflation caused by excessive government spending.
He studied literature and philosophy in the University of Chicago. He is a member of the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario, MNR). He obtained 22.46% of the vote in the June 30, 2002 elections.
Gas War & resignation
An uprising of syndical cocalero and radical indegenous groups – among them Evo Morales, (a Socialist-populist leader and the main opponent to Lozada) and Felipe Quispe, leader of the peasant union and former prisoner after being involved in terrorism and guerillas in the 80's –brought about a civil uprising known as the Bolivian Gas War to stop Lozada from exporting Bolivia's raw natural gas reserves to Chile. In order to bring an end to the uprising and bring back order to the chaotic cities of La Paz and El Alto, which appeared to have no end in sight and in which some fifty people had died, Lozada was forced to resign on 17 October 2003. He left Bolivia in the same day for exile to United States. | 2021/08/02 00:00:34 | https://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/agp/free/imf/bolivia/goni.htm | mC4 | en |
WATCH: Three-year-old Girl and her Rottweiler Leap Around On a Trampoline – BCNN1 WP
In the footage, captured by the girl's parents on May 5, the pair bounce in sync with each other as the youngster shrieks with happiness.

Alex's parents said: 'Alex loves to jump on the trampoline with Kona, our two-year-old Rottweiler.
'Kona is super sweet with Alex and is her best friend. They always are looking out for each other.'
As Alex shouts out 'wow' and 'bounce' the dog barks in response in a heart-warming display of friendship.
The dog continues to show his best moves, bouncing high above the three-year-old's head and dramatically rolling over on its side.
Alex's mother can be heard laughing from behind the camera as the playful pair become increasingly enthusiastic with each bounce. | 2022/01/23 19:15:43 | https://bcnn1wp.wordpress.com/2021/05/10/watch-three-year-old-girl-and-her-rottweiler-leap-around-on-a-trampoline/ | mC4 | en |

Ben’s Ford opens district play against Centreville
Published 9:34 am Friday, September 20, 2013
By Staff Reports
Ben’s Ford Christian School (2-2) begins the District 6AA season at home tonight against Centreville Academy (3-1), hoping to snap a two-game losing streak.
“We’ve played well in every game,” Eagles coach Tommy Pittman said. “We’ve been on the other side the last couple of weeks, and it’s tough. We could easily be 4-0 instead of 2-2. We were in every game last year except the last one. I’m happy with where we are. I’m a little disappointed about the last two weeks, but I know every Friday night these boys will give me their heart and effort.”
Ben’s Ford has lost the last two games, 23-13 and 12-7, respectively.

Pittman said turnovers hurt his team against Columbia Academy two weeks ago, and penalties hurt them against Prentiss Christian last week.
Pittman said the Eagles have continued to work on the basics.
“We’re getting them a lot of carries and reps in practice,” Pittman said. “Some of the passing turnovers happened at the end when we were trying get a quick score. As far as the penalties, if you can’t see the white of their eyes, then don’t block them because you’re in danger of clipping them or blocking them in the back.”
Aaron Taylor leads the offense’s rushing attack with 420 yards on 58 carries (7.2 yards per attempt) and six touchdowns. Taylor also has a special teams TD and one on the defensive end.
Quarterback Destin Pittman has 333 yards passing and three touchdowns to go with 170 yards rushing on 27 attempts (6.2 per carry) and three TDs.
Bryan Johnson is the leading receiver with 10 receptions for 175 yards and two scores.
The defense, which is led by Jordan Thomas, has been tough this season. Teams are averaging 15.5 points per game against the Eagles.
Linebacker Thomas, who also alternates between right guard and center, has made his presence felt all year. He’s recorded 50 tackles while adding three sacks.
Coach Pittman said Thomas is a game changer on offense and defense.
“He’s one of those kids who’s not going to take off a play. You’ve got him every play,” Pittman said.
Corey Caldwell is second on the team with 30 stops.
Centreville has been involved in a blowout every game this year with an average margin of 22 points. The games they’ve won have been by an average margin of 20.6 points per game.
Last week’s 36-17 win over Parklane was long time head coach Bill Hurst’s 347-career victory, which gave him the most wins in Mississippi history. Hurst, who has guided Centreville to eight state titles with the last one in 2008, has been the head coach since 1975 with 1995 and 1996 off to watch his son play at Southwest Mississippi Community College.
When asked what the mark meant to him, Hurst said it’s just another record.
“Records are meant to be broken,” Hurst said. “I have not put a lot of thought in it. It’s an honor, but it’s an honor for our school.”
Hurst said one of the keys to their success this season has been balance.
“We’ve been more balanced than we’ve been,” Hurst said. “The defense has played pretty well throughout the year if you look at the first four games.” | 2022-11-30T23:26:59Z | https://www.bogalusadailynews.com/2013/09/20/bens-ford-opens-district-play-against-centreville/ | OSCAR-2301 | en |

College Graduates: Avoid These Job Search Mistakes - The NonProfit TimesThe NonProfit Times
Jobs > Career Tips > College Graduates: Avoid These Job Search Mistakes
College Graduates: Avoid These Job Search Mistakes August 15, 2011 College graduates entering the "real world" face an improving but still difficult job market. Yet they have one thing that gives them an advantage compared to other job seekers: Youth.
Nonprofits are always looking to get a fresh infusion of youth. Some people say that youth is wasted on the young, but college grads tend to have a lot of enthusiasm and energy that organizations need to advance their missions. Youthful energy and a charming smile won't get you anywhere if you don't conduct your job search properly. Here are some common mistakes made by college graduates that you should make sure to avoid:
Not Preparing Enough: It can be tough to focus on the job search while also completing your schoolwork, but you shouldn't wait until after graduation to start preparing. You should start making networking contacts once you choose your major.
Only Using the Internet: Online job boards are great, but they shouldn't be your only source. Make effective use of traditional methods like attending career fairs .
Setting the Bar Too High: Ambition can be a good thing, but don't let it stand in the way of getting a good job. The first job you get out of college should be all about building up your skills so you can eventually get that dream job.
Not Following Up Quickly: Don't wait more than a week to follow up with the employer after you send in your resume. You don't want to seem like a pest, but you don't want to appear disinterested, either. | 2015/10/09 06:44:39 | http://www.thenonprofittimes.com/jobs/college-graduates-avoid-these-job-search-mistakes/ | mC4 | en |
He brought them one by one over a period of only a few hours. He took their shoes, jewelry, and watches before he left them. Their wallets and purses, too. Stripped them of anything personal but the clothes they wore as they stood blindfolded in a dark no man’s world before shoving them inside. There was no telling how long they’d been in the room since the door slammed shut.
They were strangers to each other. The only thing they had in common was that they’d all been targeted, picked up, bound, blindfolded, and then deposited in this room. They didn’t know why. And they didn’t know what would happen the next time that door did open. | 2021-02-27T15:38:29Z | https://www.china-restaurant-dynasty.de/briquette-machine/1357_briquette-machine.html | OSCAR-2109 | en |
Make merry at the @StreetFeastLDN xmas grotto – Now. Here. This. – Time Out London
Make merry at the @StreetFeastLDN xmas grotto
Posted at 11:15 am, December 1, 2012 in Arts & Entertainment, Food & Drink
For many, the memories of Christmas grottos are flecked with dull shopping centres, crap presents and creepy men in false beards. So imagine our delight upon hearing about the Street Feast Xmas Grotto on Brick Lane, which eschews the tawdry traditional festive fare. Questionable mince pies, hangover-inducing mulled wine and Poundland presents will make way for some of London's best street food, warm winter cocktails, art shows, a customised gift workshop and live screen printing session which runs from today throughout December (except on Mondays).

I went thru the same thing! I had a baby and 3 weeks later went into the hospital for a week after being admitted thru the ER for Gallstone attacks. I was diagnosed with severe pancreatitus, and my dr said I had to wait it out as well. I really think there is no other way to bring the swelling down. I had my GB removed, and 3 weeks later I was back in the Hospital because I had another attack, and some renegade stones floating around near my liver. This last surgery happened about a month ago, and I am having back and chest pain like I did before with the pancreatitus, and my dr wants me to have more tests done(catscan, bloodtests). I have a new baby, and I have trouble holding her. In fact, I couldn't hold her for the first 2 months of her life! I still have trouble, and i had to go back to work because disability doesn't pay squat. I'm in pain all the time. I am eatting better then I was, but man, that Easter candy is tempting! It causes me to have green poo and major pain in my back. I've got to quit eating it.

Be A Real Man By Flaunting Gray Plaid Suit
Most of the people think that not every man can pull of 3 piece suit due to its distinct style. Moreover, modern people tend to consider plaid as one of the traditional attire on the verge of extinction. However, with a huge transformation from a number of designers and clothing manufacturers, plaid suit styles have become popular once again. Although, the retro looks of plaid suits have remained intact, the fabric and styles have been changed over the period. If you love to flaunt vintage fashion, you will be just mesmerized with the look, feel, comfort and fit of the gray plaid suit.
Our website www.mensitaly.com comes up with a large collection of plaid suits in different colors, cuts and styles within your budget limit.
How to Incorporate Plaid in Your Clothing Line
As plaid is considered quite trendy nowadays, you should at least own a piece of it to keep yourself up to date with the latest fashion. Now, when you are planning to incorporate plaids in your wardrobe, you should determine certain aspects before making a purchase.
The first trick to play with your grey 3 piece suits is to opt for layering. You need to learn the fact that plaid is one kind of pattern that goes well with neutral shades of layering.
Therefore, plaid is an excellent way to transform your plain or solid outfit into an interesting one.
You have to choose the color of your shirts and pants according to the color of jacket or coats.
Moreover, you can break the monotony of neutral colors with colorful vibrant neckties. Now, at the end, you just have to complete the gray plaid suit look with proper footwear and accessories.
Our website www.mensitaly.com offers our customer to get rare and vintage quality grey 3 piece suits at inexpensive rate. | 2019/04/22 03:07:53 | https://www.mensitaly.com/blog/be-a-real-man-by-flaunting-gray-plaid-suit.html | mC4 | en |
KindaPlace - Kickstart Funding
Join Our KindaMovement
With a Kickstarter Package from the Missing Kind Charity
We want to change the world through kindness and we're seeking passionate people to join us on our journey
Like everyone, we see so much suffering all around us and we want to do what we can to make a difference: to the lives of our fellow human beings, for our struggling planet and to heal the suffering caused to many creatures that inhabit it alongside us.
We have lots of ideas for projects but we can't deliver them without help. Our aim is for all of our projects to become self-sustainable, preferably becoming independent social enterprises, but we recognise they will need financial investment and facilities and, most importantly, passionate people, to own each project and make it successful.
If you'd like to build a future for yourself doing something you love that fits with our ideas, and you need some help to get started, then read on...But please contact us ONLY if you have a PASSION for the chosen project and the drive to see it succeed in its mission.
For anyone interested in delivering one of our projects with us, we can put together a kick-start package of support, tailored to the project, which will look something like this:-
● Website set up and hosting
● Funding to sustain your initial work on the project
● Guidance on how to make the project sustainable longer term
● Access to our network and venue facilities
● Peer support from our great team
Our current 'Kinda' Projects looking for an owner
Here are some of our ideas, but do also let us know if you have a 'Kinda' project idea of your own that fits with these themes:-
KindaOby: We own a heritage drainage mill on the Norfolk Broads which we will, in conjunction with the Broads Authority, City College Norwich students, and through Heritage Lottery funding, be renovating to its former glory. We then want to develop this beautiful site into a Greencare centre, offering recovery retreats to those in need through partnerships with charitable organisations. To do this, we first need to find an individual or group of people with a passion to lead this project for us and ultimately take on the site as their own social enterprise or co-operative venture. If this is you, then we'd love to hear from you
KindaUpcycling: We want to support the upcycling and recycling of goods as part of our objective to be kinder to our planet. We have facilities in our KindaVillage site in Wales, with workshop space and storage, from which someone wanting to start their own social enterprise in upcycling goods can base their venture. Anyone interested in partnering with us, should please contact us with their proposal.
KindaCoaching: We will enable 'coaches' to create online forum networks for peers to support and motivate each other to achieve a particular goal. It could be: eating healthier, getting fit, giving up an addiction, work joy, all of these or any other topic, depending on the passion and knowledge of the coach. This is a 'people supporting people' idea and is not aimed at professional coaches. If you like helping people and you have a passion that fits with this idea, then please get in touch.
KindaJob: an initiative designed to support those who find it hard to maintain full-time work, due to unpredictable physical or mental health, chronic illness or other impairment, but who are committed to finding work and interested in creating a job-share co-op (like a 'member-owned' job agency); to then market their collective services to compassionate employers. We are looking for someone with lived experience of this problem who has a background in HR, recruitment or similar, and who wants to get this project off the ground. Let us know if this is you!
KindaSound Radio: Promoting kindness and happiness across the airwaves to a worldwide audience of kindness warriors, inspiring people into social and environmental action…We're looking to create community radio with a difference, embracing the 'worldwide community' and enabling everyone who has a positive message to have a global voice. We're looking for an individual or team that will know how to hit the ground running and build a team of volunteers and a network of contributors. If you have a passion for kindness and radio and want to lead this project, please contact us.
KindaStory: Currently a Wisdom Trail play promoting kindness over greed. To make children think about their choices as they go through life. We want to publish this and get it into schools and children's drama groups, as well as collect stories and plays with a moral message. Especially radio plays and stories that can be broadcast on our KindaSound Radio station. We're interested in hearing from you if you have story-telling, drama or publishing knowledge and would like to lead a steering group to co-ordinate this project for us. Let's change the world through story-telling…!
KindaCuisine - Ready Meals: Mindful, nutritious food, lovingly pre-prepared for people wanting to improve their eating habits in an easily achievable way and at the same time be kinder to our planet. A fast food and ready-meal brand specialising in vegan, vegetarian and allergy sensitive recipes. All profits will be used for a designated social purpose, helping impoverished communities overseas to grow food for themselves. We have large commercial kitchens at our Paignton and Cambridge venues, so if you live in either of those areas and think you could set this up in partnership with us, let us know.
KindaConsumerism: We want to influence people to think before they buy, making ethical choices with their money and support social enterprise and companies who have good ethics, rather than companies who give all their profits to their shareholders. We will enable a campaigner to champion this cause in whatever way they and we think will best achieve this required sea-change. If you think you know how to do this, then please get in touch with us.
KindaVideo Challenge: This one's for any avid film-makers out there who want to help us put together a show-reel of short videos on what 'The Missing Kind' means to different people. Students and others will be invited to submit their own creative video masterpieces, interview other people for their views, help us with promotion for the project, or on the technical side with editing the submitted videos, etc. We want to publicise the show-reel online. Before we can do any of this, we are seeking someone to oversee the whole project for us. Please get in touch if you think you'll fit the bill.
KindaBlogging: Have an idea about how to make a positive change in the world but need a hand? What do you care most about? If you have a cause that we also believe in, a passion for campaigning and a persuasive online writing style, we can support with website set-ups and costs and also link you in with our network to support your campaign and spread your social change message. Tell us what you care about and we'll see if we can help.
KindaMerchandising: Ethical products with a kindness message. For sale via an online shop and in our growing KindaKafe network. We're looking to support those in poverty who have a talent for crafting and would be interested in becoming part of a team of remote workers creating merchandise for us. We need someone to oversee the development of the online shop, enlist and support merchandise contributors and market the products to success. Do you have the right skills, knowledge, background and ethics to put your passion into this project? Tell us all about what you can do.
KindaGeneration: We started with our intergenerational Kindness club in Diss, Norfolk, which unfortunately had to close (we hope temporarily..) in 2018 due to illness of the organiser and no-one to take over. Old and young spent time together over tea, cake and crafts and everybody involved really enjoyed and benefited enormously from the experience. We are looking to replicate this in other care homes and are seeking people to help us deliver more intergenerational initiatives. If you work in either childcare or elderly care and think you can make something like this work in your area, then do let us know all about your idea.
KindaSchooling: We're developing an online toolbox for schools to bring kindness into the curriculum. Ideas, worksheets, plays and more for teachers to use in their teaching; nurturing young children into being kinder to themselves, their families and friends, strangers, animals and the world around them. We've got loads of material already and we're nearly there. We're looking for a person or team to move this project forward, completing the work started and getting this online and into schools. Interested? Please get in touch
KindaCare: We're going to be developing loads of separate projects and we're interested in talking to anyone who has ideas related to the care sector.

For one reason or another many brands think that social media is supposed to be a link dump. They post headlines – sometimes not even engaging ones – and want people to go to their blog.
That, however, is not the purpose of social media. Some linking, of course, is OK, but it shouldn’t be the only use of social media.
This session discusses how to tie blogging and social media together in a more meaningful way. How to repurpose blog content for social media and how to repurpose social media content for blog posts.
You will learn how to combine these two powerful channels in a way that make them relevant to your readers and most beneficial to you. We’ll also discuss how to measure success and get an editorial calendar started.

Hi I have a script that duplicates everything in a record into a new one. It copies everything over, including three of the portals (character, featured and SPACT), but will not copy over the specialist portal. It copies it and sticks it listed in the character portal field but also gives it a 0. the specialist portal is one I have added on and I thought I had added all the correct info into the script. The script is called duplicate scene. and the info I added in was: line 8 in the specified export order so all the same field options for specialis
Hi I was trying to adjust the the script I had that generates a report by selected dates. I wanted it to automatically genenertae the PDF then email it out to a set email address with just the touch of a button with the script. When I use the file in Filemaker GO app I this is what I do and would like it to do (I cannot tell on my phone which version of filmmaker go I am using, I just know it is the green app coloured one) In the Timesheet layout it opens on. I have inputed all the info needed for that day, then click on email to office, a pop up window appears an
Hi I removed the sub summary as yes agree that does nothing. The script is what came with the FM start point 17 template. I just wanted to use rates paid rather then items. that might be why the script might seem to complicated for it? I see what you mean by the taking it out of preview mode sort then back into preview mode, but I was hoping to avoid adding in extra steps, esp as the person who will be generating the invoices is not the best at lots of steps, so was trying to make the process as simple as possible. if I add it into the script, can it take
Hi When you go into the invoice tab and select print it generates a report for that invoice. I am trying to make it so that it displays then in date order. I can of course make it display in date order in the portal but that doesn't affect the report. which is a problem if I forget something on a certain date and want to add it in, it will display it at the end of the invoice lines. I tried adding in a sub summary part by Qdate worked but it will not display. I made it red to see if it displayed anything, but it will only display items in the body. I tried adding
Hi I am using FM Quickstart V17 and have been adjusting the invoice part to work for invoicing rates of things rather then a product. I want it so I can add a date to the added rate ( in the invoice tab), when you click on add rate you can select a rate. but what I need to be able to do is assign a date to that rate so they know what days worked. I tried adding in a date field and that didn't work, then I tried adjusting the SKU that was already there into a drop down calender, but as soon as you adjust and select a date, the whole row disappears. Am I trying to do something t
Hi attached are two images the first is how the report currently shows.. total characters per a scene as a list. the second image shows what I would like.. you can see in one scene the number of grooms is 2 and one is 3 needed .. so it lists the total grooms for the day is 3. the unit total currently works out the total of each character as the highest number and adds them all together. hope this image helps more
Hi no sorry wasn't sure if I explained it very well. if say you click on the report button then in t popup click on the middle report button.. you will see it shows each scene to shoot for that day. and under each scene lists the characters needed on the right and the to the left of the list shows the scene total. What I would like it to calculate is the total for each different character / featured extra military character etc. So for example I would like it to show 15th May so work out every type of character in on that date (not b
Hi I am struggling to work out how to get my database to generate a report that shows the total characters for that day and not broken up by scenes. So it will show this is the total characters from the character field for that day from all the scenes. When you go on to the database. username admin password pirates it opens on the list layout. if you click on scenes then click on the report button for all units (the middle one) it will each scene for that day and the characters for that scene. What I am trying to do is get it to show all the uniqu
Hi Tom I was wondering if I could call up on your offer of help on the other part I was trying to sort out you mentioned you might be able to? I might just need a little point in the right direction. The person I paid to help with the database recoded it a while ago and forgot to put a feature back into it and I have only just seen it is missing. He seems to have gone AWOL so I am trying to see if I can add it back in myself. I can see how he did it in the original database, but not how I can do it in the new one.
