"We tend to think other people are just like us. What we have to do is recognize people are different and it's not our job to determine who they should be. It's their job to determine who they should be and their right to do that and within their own self look at themselves and go if I'm out of balance let me see, maybe I need to go more over to right, maybe I need to go more over to the left." -JG
"Biologically, when your hormones are out of balance for you, your adrenaline levels will be maintained at a longer period of time and that will then give rise to cortisol levels that will knock down your health and interfere with well-being." -JG

What causes Suffering.
"We have a really big fear, especially in America of feeling… a lot. We think it's going to kill us. We think that when we're sobbing, we're aching, we're crying, we just reach for the red wine, we reach for the TV changer, we reach for something. We reach for the pharmaceuticals. We want to take away 'that' feeling. And I've come to see that the willingness to actually feel is the portal to grace. That our suffering contains our freedom." -Eden

Hello everyone, we have taken a big decision at Ozone to stop manufacturing the fixed bridle foil kites and accessories. The reason for stopping is that we would like to concentrate our time on depower foils and water kites and to keep driving forward innovation in the kite world.
We will of course continue with our warranty on all products and you will still be able to buy Ozone products for the next few months at your local shop.
We will be keeping the Ignition Trainer kite in the range. We will be stopping the Quattro, the Octane, the Method, the Pure and the Quantum and accessories.
Everybody in the team at Ozone would like to thank all of our customers for all the dedication to our fixed bridle foils over the past 12 years.


There are an ever increasing number of article directories springing up, attemting to take advantage of the popularity that has become of writing articles as a form of website promotion. What people can be unsure of however, is which of these sites to post their article to. In this article I write about the article directories which I use. Ezinearticles Ezinearticles was where I posted my very first article. It seems so long ago now, where in truth it was probably only around ten months ago. This directory was recommended to me by a friend and in my opinion is certainly one of the best.
Each article is reviewed before being accepted, this is not true of many of the other directories, especially the newer sites. When you search for the title of your article a few days after it has been accepted in for example the search engine google, you are normally able to see it highly placed in the results. One of the first articles I submitted was called stuttering and its effects, this article is still placed in the top ten of google after many months. If you are only planning on submitting your article to one directory this is the one I would advise that you use. Goarticles Many people have told me that they prefer to use goarticles when looking for an article to add to their site.
For this reason alone, I always ensure that I submit my article to this directory. Articlealley The thing I like about articlealley is that they also include the article you submit to them on one or two of the sister sites. This is without you needing to do any extra work. Additional exposure is always good. Articledasboard I have been advised that this directory is becoming increasingly popular and is one I should be posting my article to. The site has a page rank of six which is always a good sign. Ideamarketers This directory is my fifth choice in order of merit and has many interesting articles. It is hard to know how many of these directories people should be submitting their article to. I have been given lots of different advice on this subject and have decided to come up with my own conclusion. I personally normally submit my articles to around twenty of these sites but always the five above.
These are the other article directories I use: amazines contentdesk theezine.net yeeheey isnare impactarticles activeauthors morganarticlearchive articlefeeder articlecity netterweb simplysearch4it linksnoop articlehub articlelocker The one thing to remember is to only submit original content. Private label articles are becoming popular in some quarters, however I would advise to avoid these at all cost. I hope article marketing brings you as many rewards as it has for me.

What is a private gardener's salary in the USA and the UK ?
When hiring a private gardener, a client would think of all the duties. Some of them include weeding plants, fertilizing lawns, monitoring overall plant health, and protecting the area from debris. Depending on what the employer would want the gardener to do, the pay varies. With all the responsibilities that being a gardener comes with, the salaries of private gardeners differ. It may also depend on the client's budget and the amount that they have both agreed with.
A private gardener is in charge of the entire vegetable garden, and it's important to take note of the number of duties before considering the salary costs.
A private gardener's salary in the USA
A private gardener in the US is assigned to a particular property. The property could be a resident's garden. According to Zip Recruiter, a private gardener earns an average salary of $46,222 a year. This could vary depending on how many hours the gardener worked throughout the year. So, employers ideally pay based on the number of hours worked. This yearly salary is equivalent to $22.22 per hour.
For any gardener who works beyond the regular working hours, they'd earn more than the average gardener. Salaries don't get paid while the gardener isn't working on the property. Payment is calculated based on the duration of work. Workers are contracted either through agents, online platforms or through personal contacts.
A private gardener's salary in the UK
In the UK, a private gardener earns about £11.59 per hour (according to PayScale). According to Indeed, a private gardener earns £22,140 per year. This charge is on average because gardeners with horticultural experience earn between £15 and £35 per hour. The salary range for those gardeners who are hired through gardener recruitment agencies is between £25 and £35. The owners of the companies receive a commission for connecting the workers with the clients. This is similar to a job obtained through an agent.
Private gardeners who are self-employed can earn about £15. There are online platforms that connect clients with self-employed gardeners. These platforms can receive a percentage of the payment. However, contracting a job directly from a client doesn't entail payment percentages. That way, the private gardener is entitled to all the payment.
Payment based on duties
It's possible that there would be different gardeners working on a property. The salaries may vary based on this. Some workers may be in charge of only lawn mowing, while another worker may be in charge of fertilizing the area. Salaries may also vary based on the type of work done on the property.
Someone fertilizing the lawns may receive more payment than someone who clears the entire lawn. Another criterion for differences in payment is a personal charge. Some people who just started in the profession may charge less than someone who has 5 years of experience in the profession. A beginner would charge something called a "starting salary". With further years of experience, the charge would increase.

Wes Jackson, Localism, and the Carbon-Based Community
Russell Arben Fox
[Cross-posted to In Medias Res]
A couple of days ago, I had the lucky opportunity to listen up close to Wes Jackson, founder of The Land Institute here in Kansas, give a lecture at Newman University (just across the road from my home here at Friends University). It was one of the most intellectually stimulating and inspiring lecture-performances I've ever heard. The title was "The Prairie as a Measure for a Sustainable Agriculture," but what he was really talking about, as I thought about his particular approach to "sustainable agriculture," was what it means to be part of what might be called a "carbon-based community." The point being, of course, that all of human life–all biological life on this planet, period–is carbon-based, and that therefore a concern over the use (and misuse) of that chemical bedrock of our existence as living, eating, growing, interacting beings should be central to how we arrange our lives. For Jackson, as it is with his old friend Wendell Berry (who I've taken students up to The Land Institute to listen to before, as I've done other times), this kind of concern mandates some attention to, as Alexander Pope put it long ago, "the genius of the place."
Wes Jackson's place is the prairie, and to understand–really, to come at things from his perspective, to "re-appropriate"–the carbon-based genius of the prairie is to confront what he and others have famously called the "10,000-year-old problem": agriculture, and all the ways it has both made humanity what it is and can be, for both good and bad. Jackson happily took us listeners back to the Paleolithic, and asks how much 10 millennia have changed human beings. We still mostly eat grass–the #1 grass in the human diet worldwide being rice, with #2 being wheat, and #3 corn; add together all the grass, throw in the seeds and legumes, and you have 70% of all the nutrients the human race consumes. The question of how we consume this stuff which sunlight and water makes out of hydrocarbons is thus inseparable, in Jackson's view, from almost any debate about human civilization–including, most centrally, how we arrange ourselves in relation to these consumables. Jackson sketched out his argument visually, suggesting that throughout the history of our species there have been occasional discoveries that have changed how we arrange ourselves in relation to the range of carbon energy sources available in the ecosphere: first came human innovations in soil use and the development of settled agriculture, providing us with regular sugars for our bodies to burn, but after that came using forests as a regular fuel to burn in forges that melted copper and iron, then came burning coal (and later oil and natural gas) to power turbines and regularly generate electricity. Through it all, human institutions and forms of knowledge adapted to and shaped the consequences of this carbon-based relationship, with all sorts of unforeseen consequences.
Which adaptation does Jackson think most crucial for explaining our present condition? On the basis of his lecture, perhaps it was the separate, early 20th-century discoveries by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch which led, through their use of natural gas, to nitrogen fixation, and thus to the creation of industrial ammonia. Such industrial ammonia has made possible a revolution in agriculture, so much so that over half the protein nutrients consumed by all the human race–whether they come in the form of grasses or meat from animals which eat those grasses–have this industrially fixed nitrogen somewhere within their chemical make-up. It (along with the many other industrial transformations of the century which preceded the rise of chemical fertilizers and industrial agriculture, though perhaps none of them have had as much impact as those laboratory realizations nearly a century ago) has made it possible for millions–no, billions–of people to leave behind the farms and communities which, at one time, existed in an organic relationship with the naturally available carbon in the countryside. The power to energize the people in those cities (through food) could be trucked in from elsewhere; the power to move those trucks (though oil) could be shipped in from elsewhere; the power to open up those oil fields and protect those shipping lanes (though the U.S. Air Force) could be delivered from elsewhere; and so it goes.
Jackson delivered this argument–and, to be clear, I am adding on to and elaborating some of his points here–through some remarkable visuals: for example, drawing on the work of Howard T. Odum, Jackson paralleled the relationship between "photosynthesizers" (the organic structures which reflect and make available the energy possibilities within carbon resources–agricultural crops, for example) and "concentrators" (the organisms which gather and concentrate that realized energy–like human beings) which exists on a microscopic level, within a rain forest, or within a Kansas prairie. Through every discovery and technological appropriation of each carbon pool, his pictures made clear, we have enabled the creation of a new relationship–a new distance–between the concentrators (us) and the most fundamental sources of energy (the sun, the soil, and the prairies where the grasses we consume grow) upon which we carbon-based life forms need to flourish. And with that distance, there is loss. Jackson's most arresting visual made this clear:
Norman Rockwell painted "The County Agent" in 1948, and used as his model an actual county agent, doing rounds on the farms of Jay County, Indiana. It is fairly easy for most audiences to look at this painting and see in it a nostalgic invocation of white America's agrarian past–the red-paneled farmhouse, the horse and calf and chickens, the kids with the 4-H projects and a presumably intact, multi-generational family looking on. Jackson sees that, but he also sees more: "What is clear, with a little study [of the painting], is that expertise and youth are central while tradition and experience are peripheral." The county agent has the knowledge and authority, and is educating the youth into this mode of thinking; the received knowledge of the family is becoming somewhat irrelevant to agriculture as it was being practiced (measured, assessed) in 1948, and would be into the future. And how that has been born out! As the industrial-fertilizer-fueled Green Revolution (which surely improved the nutrition and extended the lifespans of tens of millions of people, but which also, Jackson argued, presumed that 1) bigger yields were always a sign of success, 2) traditional technologies and ways of life and relationships to the land were always an obstacle, and 3) agriculture was a industrial science, and not necessarily, much less fundamentally, related to our carbon-based ecosystem) extended its reign, from the decades following World War II until our present Monsanto-dominated moment, and resulted in ever-more specialization, ever-more technical expertise, and ever-less actual connection, through a family or locally sustained community, with the land from which we fed ourselves. The land-grant universities, which had been designed to be aids to development of learning amongst those people who tended to the land, actually hastened this development, spreading a gospel of specialization that hurried students off in distant directions, away from the food and energy that makes human civilization–and networks of healthy communities–possible in the first place.
Jackson ended on a realistic, yet hopeful note. Clearly, we are not going–we shouldn't want to–turn back the clock entirely, if only because that would result in a vicious, radical de-population of our race (though he was willing to argue, strongly, for a "no-growth, even de-growth, economic model"). But what we can hope to do–and this is central to The Land Institute's mission–is push for an intellectual sea-change, a "sustainable Green Revolution," this one based on perennial crops (which do far less damage to the soil, and are far less dependent upon industrial fertilizers, because they–duh–grow back year after year, and thus don't have to be replanted in ground which is re-tilled by the latest oil-consuming tractors again and again and again). The Land Institute has had its successes with Kernza, a perennial wheatgrass, and they are working in China on the perennialization of upland rice. For now, though, the idea of shifting our planning for food away from annuals dependent upon both the tastes of carbon-concentrating populations and the desperate attempt to stave off final depletion of the earth's carbon pools, and towards perennialization and localization is hard going. Jackson, and others at The Land Institute, have gone to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and to audiences around the country, preaching the gospel of thinking small (local) and long (time-wise), rather than big (farm-size and yields) and short (only until the next budget cycle!). They push the idea of a "50-Year Farm Bill" which would move this country from putting 80% of its acreage into annual crops–which invariably privileges the large producers who can buy oil barrels and industrial fertilizers by the ton, and which therefore of course contributes to concentrations of expertise and financial resources, continuing to kill off mid-size operators and small towns–to a model which they project by 2050 would double the percentage of farmland given over to annual vegetable crops–the market for which, as competitive as it is, being still better for small and mid-size producers than is the case for rice, wheat, or corn–and reduce the reliance on annual grains to only 20% of this nation's farmland, with the rest used of perennial grains or forage crops for animals. And, as you might expect, neither Democrats nor Republicans are exactly lining up at The Land Institute's door.
The breakthrough will probably not be political, though one can and should keep trying. The real moment for change, Jackson said hopefully, will come when the land-grant institutions start embrace the idea of "marrying ecology with a vision of perennial agriculture." Then, perhaps, we'll see all the ecologists, botanists, entomologists, plant breeders and others which The Land Institute helps to train–training them to be anything but "county agents," but instead people committed to bringing the knowledge of the carbon relationship to life in the hands of all of us who are living off and from the land–start finding jobs that will connect them with a carbon-based community (whether in Kansas or in Kazakhstan) which can be locally sustainable, as life on earth is supposed to be. To create an army of people committed to the carbon-based communities which we all must sustain, and to sustaining them justly, is for Jackson a 30-year mission, one almost certainly won't live to see (he's 75), but we could all hear the passion in his voice; shaking his head in disbelief, he pointed out that paying for the education of such an army of young gardeners and local innovators would probably cost, at current tuition rates, about one-third of the ethanol subsidy offered to corn farmers in 2012 alone. "We've got to quit treating soil like dirt!" was his conclusion; we need to treat as not a disposable commodity, in other words, but an essential partner, as I would put it, in the carbon-based communities wherein we become the humans we may be.
Or at least that was almost his conclusion–but not quite. I asked him one question: what can small colleges–like Newman University, where he was speaking, or Friends University, where I poke about with my own small efforts to get students and others thinking about community and sustainability–do? His eyes sparkled a bit, and he said that the most important thing is to get out of our usual silos of thought; to break down categories, for us and our students, because only then will the truth that "history and philosophy are the most practical of the liberal arts" be realized. There is a need for connection, for affection (and here he gave us a sneak peak of Wendell Berry's upcoming Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, an address which Jackson has read through as a rough draft), and for teaching students the value of sticking around a place long enough to learn something of its "genius." The prairie can teach us stuff, as it has Jackson, assuming one recognizes the value, as he did, of sticking with the prairie long enough, and thinking hard enough about what all those relationships under its surface and around its inhabitants (human and otherwise) might have to offer. I would guess that he might say that any place where things grow, one can find genius. But you need may need to break away from the usual academic and professional trajectories, and their of gospel of booming ever outward, and instead look down and around, if you want to see it.

Russell Arben Fox grew up milking cows and bailing hay in Spokane Valley, WA, but now lives in Wichita, KS, where he runs the History & Politics and the Honors programs at Friends University, a small Christian liberal arts college. He aspires to write a book about the theory and practice of democracy, community, and environmental sustainability in small to mid-sized cities, like the one he has made his and his family's home. He also blogs--irregularly and usually at too-great a length--on politics, philosophy, religion, socialism, bicycling, books, farming, pop music, and whatever else strikes his fancy, at In Medias Res.

Thanks for posting this, Russell. I've heard Jackson give this talk, and all I can say is: anyone who has the opportunity to hear it should do so. Much of it appears in his new book, Consulting the Genius of the Place, briefly discussed here by Katherine Dalton.
TJ Lawson March 9, 2012 At 11:51 am
I have nothing to add, but rather just a heart felt thank you for sharing this. Great piece.
Josh Papsdorf March 9, 2012 At 11:58 am
Thanks for writing about this Russell, and it was nice to meet you, briefly, at the talk. (I'm a long-time reader of FPR who teaches theology at Newman across the street from Friends in Wichita.)
I think you did a nice job of capturing the key points of the talk, and I also tend to agree with him on a great deal. I was a bit taken aback though by some of his passing comments about depopulation and the unborn. I may have been a bit sensitive on those points after sitting in on a pre-lecture discussion where Jackson approvingly described the views of some other scholars who called for a return to hunter-gatherer populations levels or the prediction that total population would be about half a billion above the Arctic Circle in 2100 due to global warming. I wasn't able to follow up with him about those points before the lecture began, and due to the late hour I wasn't able to stay afterward for further discussion. So, I will acknowledge that he might nuance those positions if he were asked.
At the same time, I didn't get the sense in his talk that he saw depopulation as something to be avoided, but rather a necessary step that we should begin to undertake once the agricultural system is reformed. Two other comments in the talk compounded my discomfort. The first was his reference to the unborn child in the mother's womb being dependent on high-density carbon and how that gave a new meaning to being "born in sin." The second was a joke he made in his discussion of hybrid plant embryos to the effect that the Land Institute work on them was "pro-life" and "saved more embryos than anyone in Kansas." (A fairly crass joke to make at a Catholic college in Wichita.) Overall, I got the distinct impression that he saw children in the womb as a threat to the environment, at least those above some level that he would see as sustainable.
Now, it's been about 5 years sense I read any of Jackson's books, so if I am wrong on this point I would be happy to be corrected. I should also note that the comments weren't central to his talk. Nonetheless, they did reveal an apparent aspect of his thought that I found quite problematic.
Russell Arben Fox March 9, 2012 At 4:33 pm
Josh, hello! I wish we would have had time to talk. We'll have to get together at some point.
I was a bit taken aback though by some of his passing comments about depopulation and the unborn….At the same time, I didn't get the sense in his talk that he saw depopulation as something to be avoided, but rather a necessary step that we should begin to undertake once the agricultural system is reformed.
I also heard those jokes also, though I didn't highlight their implications in my presentation on his lecture, because I don't see them as really central to his argument. But sure, it was there, all the same: his comment, for example, about striving for a "no-growth or de-growth economy," with the subtle follow-up reference to a "de-growth population" as well. He might well nuance those points in various ways, but I think he is clearly at least a little touched by the stereotypical environmentalist preoccupation with population.
I've occasionally wondered about the relationship between the ideas expressed by people like Jackson and Wendell Berry, and those expressed Edward Abbey. They've both written respectively of his legacy before, but I never liked Abbey, because I find his idolization of the solitude of the desert frankly misanthropic, even inhuman. I don't see anything inhuman in Berry's approach to these questions, but it's possible there is some of that in Jackson's. It's worth pondering.
Anymouse March 9, 2012 At 6:38 pm
A genuinely agrarian approach must be made, and that will require that many of these environmentalist types to change their thinking. Sustainability must also include sustaining human life.
Josh Papsdorf March 9, 2012 At 10:33 pm
Russell, the comments weren't a central part of the talk, and I would echo your praise of what he did focus on. I suppose I was just disheartened by that sub-text since I recalled agreeing with Jackson wholeheartedly when I had read him before. As you and "Anymouse" note, he's far from unique on that point. My estimation of Gene Logsdon took a similar hit when I came across a positive appraisal of China's one-child policy in one of his books.
I haven't read Abbey, but I would agree that Berry's approach really seems ideal. In general, I find the reform arguments based on quality of life more persuasive than ominous warnings of an environmental doomsday or peak-oil catastrophe. Berry's portrayal of meaningful communities and connections with the land played a significant role in my decision to come back to Wichita and put down some roots.
And yes, we should try to arrange a Front Porch meeting here in the heartland at some point.
D.W. Sabin March 14, 2012 At 7:01 pm
The "Carbon Economy" is one hell-bent upon exploiting reservoirs of decay and building an economy on them which animates an overall atmosphere of decay…ie the picturesquely termed "planned obsolescence".
We possess now a financial and energy system of an elaborate cemetery and spend our time wondering why our chattering birds twittering upon the cable news networks are so funereal.
There is a furrow to reconnect with.

On March 1, 2013, one of the most brilliant minds in structural engineering, that had delivered its promise over and over again through a long and successful career, was lost. That was the day WILLIAM GENE CORLEY closed his eyes for the last time.
Gene was born in Shelbyville, Illinois, a small town south of Decatur, to Clarence W. and Mary Douthit Corley in 1935. Upon finishing high school in 1954, he attended the University of Illinois, Urbana, where he obtained his BS in civil engineering in 1958. While there he was a member of the ROTC and served as president of the Varsity Men's Glee Club.
His sustained success as a student earned him a place on the Bronze Tablet of 1958, limited to the top 3 percent of the graduating class. Encouraged by the civil engineering faculty to continue his education at the university, he earned his MS in 1960—the year after he married Lynd Wertheim—and his PhD in 1961.
During that time he also produced two works that have stood the test of time: a simple and effective solution for time-dependent deflections of reinforced concrete beams, and a new perspective that expanded the application domain of the equivalent-frame analysis for reinforced concrete slabs.
In 1961 Gene joined the US Army Corps of Engineers at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, where he earned the rank of captain. In 1964 he took the position of research engineer with the Portland Cement Association (PCA) in Skokie, Illinois. When PCA incorporated Construction Technology Laboratories (CTL Group) as a separate entity in 1987, he became CTL's vice president.
At CTL Gene became one of the outstanding forensic engineers of his time. His interests and talents were multidimensional. He sang with his wife in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chorus, and served as president of the board of directors of Association House, chairman of the District School Board Caucus, and a member of the board of directors for the mid-America chapter of the American Red Cross.
He was also a member of the Columbian Society and the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Always loyal to his alma mater, he was a member of the University of Illinois President's Council and Civil Engineering Alumni Association (1988–1994), serving as the association's president in 1993– 1994.
He was eminently successful in his professional work. In 1995 he cochaired the team of select engineers that produced the investigation report of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City after it was damaged by a bomb. He was an advisor on the investigation of the fatal fire (2001) at the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas. He led the investigative team for the two World Trade Center Buildings that collapsed in 2001 as a result of aircraft impact.
He also served selflessly and effectively on committees of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), American Concrete Institute (ACI), Building Seismic Safety Council, Chicago Committee on High-Rise Buildings, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, Illinois Building Commission, Illinois Seismic Safety Task Force, Institute for Business and Home Safety, International Standards Organization, Mid- America Earthquake Center, National Association for Railroad Safety, National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying, RILEM, Post-Tensioning Institute, Structural Engineers World Congress, and Illinois Governor's Earthquake Preparedness Task Force.
He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2000, and became an honorary member of ASCE in 2001 and of ACI in 2003. Professional associations recognized his contributions through dozens of awards, including the ASCE's Opal and T.Y. Lin awards; the ACI's Alfred E. Lindau Award, Delmar L. Bloem Distinguished Service Award, Arthur J. Boase Award, Henry C. Turner Medal, and Wason Medal for Materials Research; the John F. Parmer Award of the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois; and the Martin P. Korn Award of the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute. The University of Illinois recognized him as Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (1995),
College of Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (2001), and Chicago Illini of the Year (2004). Looking back it appears phenomenal that among his myriad professional activities he found time to develop deep and warm relationships with a large circle of friends. Gene was a loving husband to Lynd, a doting father to their children Anne, Bob, and Scott, and remained close to their nine grandchildren.
He was so good in so many things that it is difficult to choose one of his accomplishments as the best. But his chairmanship of the ACI Building Code Committee is a good example. The committee is a tough debating society that is often the scene of the clash of corporate, academic, and personal goals.
Many who assumed the chairmanship with good intentions found themselves taking sides and alienating believers in one cause or the other. During his six-year stint as chair, Gene led the committee to notable achievements and managed to arrive at satisfactory compromises while creating lasting friendships among those with differing views. He was a born leader as well as a wonderful and charming person.
In closing, the writer cannot help but paraphrase the Bard, "Here was William Gene Corley! When comes such another?"
For leadership in raising the standards of the engineering profession for construction of buildings and bridges.

Album Premiere: Lotus Kid – 'All.The.Things.You.Dread'
Lotus Kid are a Pennsylvania pop punk band and their sophomore EP All.The.Things.You.Dread, drops tomorrow. Inspired by religion, loss, anxiety and friendship, the EP is bouncy and abrasive. Full of energy and hooks, the EP is perfect for fans of punchy pop punk like WSTR, Bearings or Like Pacific. Engineer Gary Cioni (Sorority Noise, Free Throw, and Hot Mulligan) produced the release, which explains the enhanced pop sensibility and layered guitar.
"I like 'Beneath My Stride' because the lyrics are the first song we've released about religion," singer Mikey O'Toole said. "Every other song we have written is about a specific situation, relationship, person, or place in our lives. This is our first song about a large universal concept."
An EP which was fun to make, All.The.Things.You.Dread has some bittersweet tracks like "Open Sore" and "S.A.D.". Dealing with a "close-minded" manager at the time, the track was written from frustration. Butting heads and constant friction, the team had a falling out. Luckily, the group were not sore long when it came to "Open Sore" and the rest of the EP.
"The tension was becoming unsafe and counterproductive so we parted ways. I wrote the lyrics one frustrating evening over Zack jamming the high energy punk verses on an acoustic guitar," O'Toole said. "The guy ended up getting clean and moving to Atlanta. We recently reconnected via FaceTime during quarantine and he heard the song through a mutual friend. We both laughed about it and apologized to each other."
Citing "S.A.D." as their most worked on track, Cioni was a major source of help and insight with the song. The bridge more or less appeared, which "ended up being recorded is pretty much our first instinct," O'Toole said.
"It was refreshing to have somebody new in the songwriting process and I'd like to do it again in the future," O'Toole said.
The EP is available for streaming on Soundcloud here.

The fat is basically a disease for many and is almost as killing as any other big and dangerous disease if it is not taken care of at an earlier stage. Along with the fat comes the various other diseases that can be more than killing.
Diabetes: this is one disease that causes due to the very sugar level in the body. The diabetes is really something that can be very dangerous to the health. The diabetes can cause great amount of damage to the eyes and the kidney too.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome: this is nowadays very common. This happens to women or girls where the small cysts may manage to cover the entirety of their ovaries. This may at times lead to the very cancer and more.
Depression: along with the fat also comes the depression. The depression can be called killing in itself. People suffering from the depression can actually go to the limits of committing suicide.
How to get over with the fat?
The fat is really something that is not very easy to shed and thus one can be very much assured of the fact that one can definitely manage to get the best results by just using of the very Garcinia.
This is one particular tree that has an elongated family. And also manages to be found in varied form of species. The particular species that is being addressed here is the GarciniaCambogia. One can famously recognize it to be calledGarciniagummi-gutta.
Well the Garcinia can be definitely of some interest to the people. It is a very herbal extract taken out of the tree of the same name. This type of tree can be found in the very continents of Asia, Australia and not to forget Africa as well.
This GarciniaCambogia though is that species of the plant that can be very easily found in South East Asia including India and not to forget, mostly the southern states of India. These are also very specially found to be cultivated in the regions of central Africa.
This can be successfully used so that the weight keeps in control. People can find them in supplements like that of the Ayurleaf HerbalsGarcinia (Vrikshamla) - WEIGHT LOSS HERBAL SUPPLEMENT and these are really very helpful.


If your child suffers from inflammatory bowel disease, leaky gut syndrome, autism, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, chances are you've heard about the GAPS diet. Inspired by The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and develop by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome and is intended to remove gut-damaging foods that are difficult to digest and replace them with nutrient-dense foods in order to allow the intestinal lining to heal and seal.
The GAPS diet is not intended to be a quick fix, and is a much more regimented protocol used to treat leaky gut, gut flora imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies, and if you do a quick search on Google, you'll read some pretty powerful stories about the gut-brain connection and how the GAPS diet has helped children overcome symptoms of autism, ADD, allergies, and more.
If you're interested in pursuing the GAPS diet for yourself or your children, there are heaps of delicious GAPS recipes for kids online, but before we share our favorites, let's dig a little deeper, shall we?
The GAPS diet is based on the gut-brain connection, and is designed to heal and seal the gut lining, balance the immune system, and restore healthy bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract by focusing on diet, supplementation, and detoxification. There are several different stages of the diet, with new foods being introduced as you progress from one phase to the next. The diet eliminates dairy and sugar, allows minimal fruits and grains, and includes broths and probiotic foods to help the body heal.
Who can benefit from the GAPS diet?
The GAPS diet was designed to help those with food allergies and intolerances, behavioral and emotional challenges like autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, as well as other autoimmune disorders, but some would argue it can be beneficial to everyone when followed correctly.
Does the GAPS diet work?
The reviews are mixed. While some report their child was cured of all autism symptoms as a result of the GAPS diet, others question the validity of the diet, and while there shouldn't be any harm trying some of the GAPS recipes for kids listed below, it's important to do your own research before deciding if a full-fledged GAPS diet is right you and your family. Educate yourself on the benefits as well as the potential risks, talk to your family doctor, and enlist the help of a naturopath to ensure you fully understand the ins and outs of the GAPS diet before deciding how to proceed.
What are the best GAPS recipes for kids?
OMG, where do we start?! GAPS for kids can be challenging, especially if your little one is already a picky eater, but thanks to all of the parents who have already done the hard work for us, we've found over 50 GAPS recipes for kids that promise to be as delicious as they are healthy.
Heal Your Gut, Change Your Life: Step by Step Guide to the GAPS Diet 50 Recipes by Andre ParkerIf your little one suffers from food allergies, behavioral and emotional challenges like autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, or another autoimmune disorder, and you are a believer in the gut-brain connection, the GAPS diet might be for you. It is said to help heal and seal the gut lining, balance the immune system, and restore healthy bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract, and with so many delicious GAPS recipes for kids available, what do you have to lose? Just be sure to do your research and talk to a professional to ensure the GAPS diet is safe for the specific needs of you and your family.

Q: How to add Search_fields in Django I tried to add search fields in Django using python. Followings are the codes that I have used.
# admin.py file

from django.db import models
from blog.models import Blog
from django.contrib import admin
admin.site.register(Blog)

class Blog(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    body = models.TextField()
    created = models.DateTimeField("Date Created")
    updated = models.DateTimeField("Date Updated")
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

class Comment(models.Model):
    body = models.TextField()
    author = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    created = models.DateTimeField("Date Created")
    updated = models.DateTimeField("Date Updated")
    post = models.ForeignKey(Blog)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.body

class CommentInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Comment

class BlogAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title','created', 'updated')
    search_fields = ['title','body']
    list_filter = ('Date Created','Date Updated')
    inlines = [CommentInline]

class CommentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('post','author','body_first_60','created','updated')
    list_filter = ('Date Created','Date Updated')

I tried to add a search_fields for title and body by using Following code.
class BlogAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    . . .
    search_fields = ('title','body')
    . . .

When I run this I can't see any search box. Why is that ? I want your help. I'm just a beginner.
Thanks!

A: The search fields should be a list, not a tuple.
class BlogAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    . . .
    search_fields = ['title','body']
    . . .

Then make sure that you associate this admin object with the model.
admin.site.register(Blog, BlogAdmin)

EDIT:
It's hard to tell from above, but you should consider just importing the models from models.py instead of redefining them in your admin.py file. Again, it looks like that's what you're doing above.
admin.py:
from django.db import models
from blog.models import Blog
from django.contrib import admin

class CommentInline(admin.TabularInline):

    search_fields = ['title','body',]
    list_filter = ('Date Created','Date Updated',)
    inlines = [CommentInline,]

class CommentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('post','author','body_first_60','created','updated',)
    list_filter = ('Date Created','Date Updated',)

admin.site.register(Blog, BlogAdmin)

    title = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    body = models.TextField()
    created = models.DateTimeField("Date Created")

Yellowstone's Lilli Kay Announces Relationship With Girlfriend Juli Kocemba With PDA on Instagram
Lilli Kay recently revealed her girlfriend Juli Kocemba via Instagram. Lilli Kay posted a picture of them kissing together to make the announcement.
She is one of the most talented emerging actresses in the entertainment industry. Despite being a new face in the industry, Lily has posted a remarkable impact on the audience's hearts and minds with her spectacular performance.
The 26-year-old actress has been a part of 6 projects since beginning her career in 2018, out of which four are tv series, one is a tv movie, and one is a short movie.
She is mainly known for her work as an actress, but recently she has created a lot of buzz on the internet because of her relationship with her longtime friend, Juli Kocemba.
They had been good friends for more than ten months and used to spend time together more frequently than usual.
It was expected the actress to drop such news, which has pleased her fans and followers as they have left some lovely comments on that image, complementing their love for each other.
Lilli Kay Girlfriend Juli Kocemba Is A Model Represented By Metropolitan
Lilli Kay And Her Girlfriend Juli Kocemba Relationship Timeline
First Meeting
The Announcement
Lilli Kay girlfriend Juli Kocemba is a model for the Metropolitan. Juli and Lil are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
She has been around her partner's life for quite a while now, and their matchup also suited their personalities. The couple proudly presents themself as one in front of the world, and many people from different communities praise this attitude.
Juli is a talented model who has primarily worked for a multinational modeling agency, Metropolitan.
With the help of several projects issued by the company, the talented model has enlarged her portfolio and accumulated many fans who admire and appreciate their work.
She identifies as non-binary, which she has accepted openly in front of the world. Despite being a woman, the lady likes to be referred to as they/them, and her sexuality can be one of the main reasons behind this.
Lilli and Juli revealed their romantic relationship with a kissing image but they have known each other for a year now.
The new couple hasn't explicitly mentioned the incident when they crossed each other's paths for the first time, but they have given hints of their new beginning since February 2022.
Lilli began commenting on Juli's Instagram posts at the start of February. She then uploaded pictures on February 22, 2022, which showed them having a great time together.
After that, they started to upload each other's photographs on their respective social media handles, which made it evident that these ladies had a great bond, and in the future, it could turn out to be something serious.
There were subtle hints about their love, but those were only hints, and official announcements were due. They even started to live together with Juli's dog. Between those moments, Lili posted several photographs of them enjoying quality time together.
She also posted pictures on May 10 featuring Juli sitting near the apartment window where they lived.
Despite them living together and being friends for a long time, the official announcement of their relationship was yet to be made. Lilli filled that void by uploading a picture of them kissing on November 26, 2022.
She captioned it, saying, '24/7 365, apparently'. Her fans' reaction to that post was terrific, as most of them left many lovely messages appreciating the love and respect they had for each other.
As they belong to similar professional backgrounds and there is an excellent understanding between the couple, their love is expected to only grow from now onwards.
Since their first meeting, they haven't faced any issues that could deteriorate their bond.

Lizzie Velasquez's Kickstarter Documentary Premieres at SXSW 2015 (Video)
March 18, 2015 @ 3:21 pm By Samantha Hurst
Last spring, first-time director Sara Bordo launched a campaign on crowdfunding giant Kickstarter for a film that was at the time titled The Lizzie Project. The official documentary is based on 25-year-old Lizzie Velasquez, the breakout speaker of the YouTube TED talk video "How Do You Define Yourself?" which has received more than nine million views to date.
The film follows Velasquez's extraordinary life as she struggles with not only an unusual disorder but also being labeled as "the world's ugliest woman." Born with a rare, unnamed syndrome that only three people in the world are known to have, Lizzie's body has an inability to gain weight and she has never been more than 62 pounds. Now, at the age of 26, Lizzie is the author of three books and is considered one of the most sought after motivational speakers in the world.
Bordo stated:
"Lizzie's survival of being bullied so publicly and her incredible torch of self-worth and positivity is inspirational in a time when too many children and teens are struggling with the same issues. The movie will show how Lizzie is dedicating her life to making a true difference and inspiring others to support each other, online and off."
Velasquez added:
"I know first hand how cruel the Internet can be, but having come out on the other, I now feel a tremendous amount of love and support from the online community. I want to give people who are struggling with their own adversity- what theirs may be – hope that you can survive being bullied."
Now, less than a year after their Kickstarter campaign captured over $200,000, Velasquez and Bordo are ready to debut the newly titled film A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story. The documentary premiered at the 2015 SXSW festival this week.
During a recent interview with MTV, Velasquez shared her thoughts about her growing popularity following her movement against the Internet bullies:
"I get a lot of [attention] still from my TED Talk actually. It happened to me this morning. A girl came up to me and said, 'I saw your TED Talk for the first time.' So it's been a mixture. The gentleman who just came up [to the stage to congratulate me at SXSW], that was the first time that's happened."
Also discussing her influence on her fans, Velasquez stated:
"I don't know these people, but turning on my camera and pressing record is like opening a small window into my life for people who might need a friend or who are watching my videos because they don't have a social life or are stuck at home or whatever they may be, and because of that, it makes me feel good to share my life."
In regards to any advice she can give her to fans, Velasquez added:
"You have to be fully aware and confident that you are enough just being you. That's enough! You don't have to live up to anyone else's standards, you don't have to look like anyone else, you don't have to compare yourself to anyone else. You being you is enough, and you putting your positivity and good vibes out into the world. Once you get to that point, absolutely everything will fall into place. Whether its your personal life, your work life, your school life, your confident, everything will fit once you believe in yourself."

Q: `getElementsByTagName` for a `td` returns `undefined` Hello I'm very close to finish my demo site but somehow I can't get this simple piece to work.
Why the hell does the td return undefined when everything else is running fine?

function find() {
  var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
  //input = document.getElementById("search");
  //filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
  table = document.getElementById("table");
  tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
  console.log(tr, ("tr"));
  console.log(tr.length, ("trL"));
  for (i = 0; i
 -1) {
        tr[i].style.display = "";
      } else {
        tr[i].style.display = "none";
      }
    }
  }
}

A: You need to iterate the td elements as well.

function find() {
    var filter = document.getElementById("search").value.toUpperCase(),
        tr = document.getElementById("table").getElementsByTagName("tr"),
        td,
        i, j,
        txtValue;

    if (!filter) {                                                // no filter
        for (i = 1; i < tr.length; i++) tr[i].style.display = ""; // show all
        return;
    }

    for (i = 1; i < tr.length; i++) {
        td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td");
        tr[i].style.display = "none"; // move this here for a start value
        for (j = 0; j  -1) {
                tr[i].style.display = "";
            }
        }

A: After this comment of yours the problem seems to be that in the first iteration of the loop tr contains the tr inside the thead, at which point you do td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[0]; which tries to get the 0th element of an empty list (since the first tr has 0 td elements), which returns undefined.
If you only have one table inside the page you can shorten your code a lot by getting the trs inside the tbody directly by using querySelectorAll and iterating through them.

function find() {
  var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
  //input = document.getElementById("search");
  //filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
  tr = document.querySelectorAll("table tbody tr");
  console.log(tr, ("tr"));
  console.log(tr.length, ("trL"));
  for (i = 0; i
 -1) {
        tr[i].style.display = "";
      } else {
        tr[i].style.display = "none";
      }
    }
  }

By what power or logic can the mesader kiddushin saying that two specific, designated people are the only witnesses to a wedding change the fact that all assembled have seen all that transpired at the wedding ceremony (i.e., witnessed the ceremony)?
The mesader kidushin asks the witnesses if they are related to either the bride or groom or each other. He then asks the bride and groom if they want these and only these witnesses to be their witnesses."
1) Who actually saw the event.
2) Who are the members of the "official group" ("Kaht") of witnesses that not only saw the event, but also serve as a specific group capable of authenticating the event for a Court of Law.
Everyone present probably saw the event. They are all witnesses.
However, the mesader kiddushin is asking the bride and groom to choose a limited group (2) of people to join the secret club called the "kaht" of witnesses to the kidushin act.
There is no power or logic to exclude the people there from the general group called "witnesses".
However, before the event takes place, there is power to create a special group of witnesses that exist as a privately locked group of 2 members by themselves; without joining the rest of the room's group.
So now we have two groups of witnesses.
A) 98 guests who were standing around and saw the event.
B) 2 guests that also saw the event but were designated as a private group of witnesses.
Now those two may go to court and give testimony without belonging to the other group of 98. That's the power of designation.
This prevents a large random group from forming and showing up to court, when they contain possible relatives. This would then invalidate the entire group as Halachah demands that a group of witnesses are either kosher or not kosher as a group.
The Ritva in Kiddushin 43 brings the custom of designating specific witnesses at a ceremony where there are invalid witnesses present, to get around the problem of עדות שבטלה מקצתה בטלה כולה (the dictum that any single witness from a group of witnesses who is found invalid invalidates the entire group).
The questioner seems to have understood that by designating witnesses, you invalidate all the other witnesses. I believe this is incorrect; nobody can stop witnesses from seeing. The Ritva means that by designating specific witnesses, they are no longer automatically part of the same 'group', and therefore the invalid witnesses cannot invalidate the kosher witnesses.
Other answers have explained the possible logic for the exclusion. I would like to point out that in fact this whole idea is only the view of the Ritva, and was not accepted by most Rishonim. In fact, the Chasam Sofer writes that even if one of the two 'designated' witnesses was found to be invalid, there is no need for new kiddushin as the other people watching do count (the full text is available here). In other words, there is no power or logic to what the mesader kiddushin says.

This partnership has provided new opportunity for service by the Ruritan in Maryland and bordering areas. Since 1998, both organizations have achieved possibilities for individuals who are in need for food.
Ruritan and 4-H have had a long history of helping each other. Each year, hundreds of 4-H students are sponsored to 4-H "Citizenship and Washing Focus" seminars in Washington D.C., and to other youth based activities. Since 1995, both organizations have had a great impact on the future of youth in our communities.
SkillsUSA (formerly VICA)
SkillsUSA-VICA strives to increase pride in work through education and competitions in many vocational skills area. The organization has strong ties with business and industry and has chapters in more than 13,000 public school, community colleges and vocational schools.
Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge (FFVF)

Student perform service work in the 52 acre Medal of Honor Grove and hear inspirational messages from Medal of Honor recipients. Each spring, the Freedoms Foundation and Ruritan National sponsor two Freedom and Leadership conferences at the Freedom Foundation.
Adventure Camp, Inc.
Adventure Camp, Inc.is a camp held each summer for children and adolescents with limb loss. Adventure Camp, Inc. was started in 1981 and has been held annually since that time in the summer. The camp staff includes amputee and non-amputee volunteers who are health professionals such as therapists, prothetists, orthotists and nurses as well as members of the communities which the camp serves. They volunteer their time to do the planning as well as provide the counseling and food preparation.
National D-Day Memorial Foundation
The primary objective of the nine-acre National D-Day Memorial is to recognize the exemplary contribution of individual military personnel, all of whom encountered extreme hardship and particularly those who were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice. To date Ruritans have donated nearly $200,000 to various projects at the National D-Day Memorial.
Prevention Through Service Alliance
This organization is made up of more than 20 civic, fraternal and veterans� organizations which have all agreed to take a public stance on the issue affecting all communities. The alliance recognizes that youth are �our greatest asset for a promising future,� and that preventing drug abuse is essential to youth �becoming contributing and responsible citizens.� This organization also calls for the leading volunteer�s associations and youth development agencies to unite in promoting drug free environments, positive choices by the youth, and character development so that productive citizens and future world leaders will be ensured. Since the partnership began, Ruritan has provided a liaison with PTSA, usually a member of our Youth Committee, and have used the RURITAN magazine to share anti-drug messages with youth leaders in the Ruritan community.
National FFA Organization (FFA)
The National FFA Organizations has nearly 450,000 members nationally in local high schools or in secondary schools that have an agriculture program. Through competition and skill-building exercises, FFA members learn discipline, responsibility, and dedication to the field of agriculture. Ruritan clubs can help sponsor entire local FFA chapters or can sponsor individual members to local, state, or national levels of competition. Since 1998, Ruritans have supported the FFA in public services and development.
More than one-third of all Ruritan Clubs sponsor scouting in some way. Ruritan clubs and districts can sponsor scouts to state and national meetings, help scouts with Eagle Scout projects, and sponsor scouts with their leaders to attend the Medal of Honor adventures. In the past years Ruritans have helped with events such as the BSA National Jamboree and the new Ruritan Scout Leader Service Award.
Virginia War Memorial
The Virginia War Memorial was built in the mid 1950's on a high point overlooking the downtown skyline and the James River in Richmond to honor those who served in World War II and Korea. Later additions honor veterans of Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. The names of 11,631 Virginians who made the supreme sacrifices in battle are engraved on the soaring glass and stone walls of the Memorials Shrine of Memory. Ruritan National and the Virginia War Memorial have announced the formation of a partnership to teach patriotism and citizenship to future generations. To help achieve this goal, the War Memorial has started a program called Virginians At War: Historic Interviews. This history program of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf is brought to life through the videotaped interviews of Virginia veterans who were there. Ruritans have participated in special military holiday ceremonies at the Memorial and articles about the Memorial have appeared in the RURITAN magazine.
Liberty Day
Liberty Day is a non-partisan grass roots celebration of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution. The ultimate goal of Liberty Day is the protection and continuation of American liberties. Its primary mission is education: to make all citizens aware of the significance and content of both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, in order that voters might appreciate the incredible rights and responsibilities to be found in those documents. In pursuit of this goal, Liberty Day activities throughout the state focus attention on these two crucial documents and events leading up to the founding of the United States. A number of Ruritan Clubs have sponsored youth groups to Liberty Day events in their state capitals under the title �Liberty Kids�. In 2005 Congress passed a new law requiring all schools and educational institutions to teach the U.S. Constitution on September 17 every year - the anniversary date of the document. Ruritan Clubs have been involved in helping to promote that instruction and have volunteered to assist with programs in many schools.
Telephone Pioneers of America
Several Ruritan clubs already active with the Telephone Pioneers of America's "Books about Me" program led Ruritan National to formalize the arrangement with an organizational partnership. That project later blossomed into the partnership (below) with �I Like Me� book program. Ruritans have also worked with the Telephone Pioneers of America to develop playground sized maps of the United States that are used by schools to teach geography.
Kindergartners Count, "I Like Me"
In 2005 both the Ruritan and �I Like Me� organizations have been establishing a personalized approach with the children. This program motivates students to learn to read and also encourages healthy self-concept. �I LIKE ME� has a positive impact on a child�s self concept through significant developmental qualities such as character, sincerity, effort, etiquette, and self control. Self-esteem and self-efficacy, components of self-concept, include acceptance, caring, recognition, teamwork, and achievement.
