Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler seems like a Washington rarity: He apologizes for his mistakes.
Gensler, during his stint in the Clinton administration, pushed for the deregulation that helped to set in motion the financial crisis of the past couple of years. But he's since seen the error of his ways.
"Looking back now," Gensler said, reiterating a similar statement he made in Monday's USA Today, "we should have done more to help protect the American public."
Now the CFTC chairman is pushing for transparency in the over-the-counter derivatives market, home to the now infamous credit-default swaps that ruined so many banks.
Given that these OTC derivatives played a big part in the worst meltdown since the Great Depression, Gensler said, "We need to do this."
Cramer's been using his Mad Money pulpit to push for similar changes, which is why he invited Gensler onto the show. Watch the video for the full interview and for a complete outline of the CFTC chair's proposal.

Office Carpet Spills? What to do?
Despite what business sector you work in, with employees eating in the office and making numerous cups of tea and coffee, office carpet spills are inevitable. The question is, how do you deal with those annoying office carpet spills?
How do I clean my office carpet spills?
These accidents can happen at any time to everyone, perhaps someone overfilled their coffee cup or slopped their soup on the floor. As professional cleaners, we deal with commercial carpet cleaning in offices, week in, week out, however the chances of us being there when these spillages actually happen are rather unlikely. Whatever the spillage we have put together some tips on what you can do to deal with it yourself whilst minimising any long-term damage being made to your carpets!
What do I need to clean my office carpet?
First things first, don't panic! If the spillage is a drink, grab an absorbent kitchen towel or other material to soak up as much of the liquid as possible. If it's food, carefully remove the substance from the carpet and again use an absorbent kitchen towel to soak up as much as possible of the sauces or oils etc left behind.
Once you have got out as much of the liquid as possible it's time to start working on the remaining residue. Please note if using any supermarket brands for this, quite often they contain bleach and other strong cleaning substances that can damage your carpet further. Always be sure to read the ingredients before using on your carpets targeted areas.
An alternative option to the supermarket brands is to use our Ideal Cleaning Professional Spotter. With a white cotton cloth, soak some of the spotter into part of it then apply to the spillage working from the outside of the spill inwards. It is important that you do not rub the carpet as this can cause damage to the surface, instead you need to simply blot the spill until you reach the centre. Although this is a longer process, you will receive much better results.

Tips to keep your Office Toilet Clean and Fresh!
Think about how many people are in your workplace, then think about how many times everyone uses the most common facility - the toilet. Although the toilet is something that is used frequently throughout each day, more often than not nobody will really give a thought about its cleanliness other than the cleaner or caretaker.
The ultimate must have in any toilet whether it be in the office or at home is soap to kill the bacteria. Liquid soap dispensers are a popular option in public toilets being quick and simple to use, one thing to consider is making sure the dispensers themselves remain in good condition as they are likely to be pressed numerous times a day. We also recommend having a hand sanitiser available near the sink.
What else is important to keep your office toilet clean?
Whether it be the ladies or the gents, all toilets should have a seat. We recommend regularly checking the conditions of your office toilet seats to make sure they are still intact (hinges can often come loose) and to check they are kept to a clean standard. Seat covers are also something that you could consider.
What are the necessities in keeping an office toilet clean and fresh?
Another necessity is toilet paper which should always be available and constantly topped up. Not only that, think about how people dry their hands after washing them; perhaps you have hand dryers which need to function properly or provide cloth towels or disposable paper towels if you're looking for a cheaper option. If you opt for towels, don't forget to regularly empty the bins!
By creating a checklist you can highlight the main tasks that need to be carried out and ensure that they are checked off at the end of each working day with your cleaner or caretaker. If you need help putting a checklist together, get in touch! Our team of professional cleaners are highly experienced in all aspects of cleaning, including toilet cleaning in commercial environments.
Last but not least, keep it smelling fresh! This can work as way of letting your employees know that it is a clean, hygienic environment and work as encouragement for them to maintain its cleanliness.
At Ideal Cleaning, we provide office cleaning services, including toilet cleaning in commercial properties throughout the Teesside area; Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool and Darlington. Whether your need a one-time visit from us to create a office toilet cleaning checklist or are looking for a regular cleaning service, we can help.

Keeping your office clean and tidy this summer!
Summer is great for many reasons, one that probably isn't the first to spring to mind is that it is the best time to step back and take a look at your office's appearance and cleanliness.
Dust builds up all year but chances are that you will only realise when the sun shines through and lights it all up. By making sure your desk is as tidy as possible at the end of the day not only will you feel organised and productive, you also minimise the chance of dust and crumbs building up amongst any clutter and papers.
Most offices have light coloured walls which can show up marks particularly easily. With the weather being warmer you will be able to give your walls a wipe down and a lick of paint and have it dry off much quicker.
Keeping food overnight in your office during the summer months is risky business! Even with air conditioning the heat can come through and make your food rotten, smelly and attract germs. Make a habit of throwing away any leftover foods before you leave for the night to avoid any smelly surprises the next day.
Given the amount of time that staff members spend in the office, it is always going to be difficult to keep the carpet clean. With less employees in the office over the Summer period, now is your chance to tackle those stains that have been catching your eye all year. Ever considered using a professional carpet cleaning service? Our environmentally friendly office cleaning solutions are available across the North East region and can banish carpet stains in one hour.
Whether your business requires a one-time summer clean or is looking for a regular cleaning service, at Ideal Cleaning we have over 60 years experience in providing professional office cleaning services in Middlesbrough, Stockton, Darlington and Hartlepool. We understand the importance of maintaining a clean working environment not only to for health and safety reasons but to ensure employees have a clean and comfortable work location which will ultimately promote productivity.

Lidia Vitale starred in "Solo Anna," a one-woman show, at Casa Belvedere, Grymes Hill.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Italian-born actress Lidia Vitale is too beautiful to impersonate completely the splendid wreck that was Anna Magnani (1906-1973), but two minutes into "Solo Anna," her one-woman show, it hardly mattered.
Vitale can produce the basso profundo voice, the flashing eyes, the eruptions of laughter and tears, the fury, the whole full-bodied package. And if she can't manage Magnani's baggy eyes, famously ringed with dark circles, what of it? No actress ever looked so alluringly sleep-deprived as Anna Magnani.
"Solo Anna," written by Franco D'Alessandro and directed by Eva Minemar, had a one-night stand this week at Cafe Belvedere as the Island stop in "In Scena," a new citywide Italian theater festival.
Notice the usage: Italian, not Italian-American. There's a difference. Parts of the play were in Italian but getting the gist of it wasn't hard for non-speakers. The hospitality, naturally, was lavish. There were finger foods and wine beforehand and coffee and biscotti afterwards.
The evening was an occasion and everyone was nicely dressed, including Vitale's Anna, chic in a black brocade cocktail dress and a fur jacket (right out of "Mad Men.").
"Solo Anna" is a necklace of vivid recollections from the actress's life: Her loveless upbringing in Rome, her career, marriage, motherhood, press conferences, personal manifesto, Hollywood time, friendship with Tennessee Williams, death.
Patting her hips and belly in Magnani's characteristic fashion, Vitale replicated Magnani's comfortable sense of herself. She knew who was, and if it didn't please the public, too bad.
Was she a feminist, she was asked by journalists (who often caused her pain). Not conventionally. Instead, Magnani demanded respect, which meant the same pay her male counterparts received.
Still, sometimes she got the money and lost the respect. Against her better judgment, she accepted a well-paid role in "The Secret of Santa Victoria," only to be savaged by critics. Late in her career, she complained that Hollywood only offered her roles "in which I'm stirring a big pot of spaghetti."
Part of Magnani's appeal was her intelligence, brought out often in D'Alessandro's script. "I like dogs," she says, "not men who act like dogs." Most men disappointed her, even Tennessee Williams whom she loved (and whose "Rose Tattoo" brought her an Oscar).
At Belvedere, "Solo Anna" was staged in a salon-like room, without a stage or platform.There were clumsy film projections, but the intimate setting made the deeply rooted performance that much more powerful.
In the final scene, Vitale's Magnani is ill and in pain and senses that her exit is approaching: tears streamed down her face, followed by incandescent smile.
The meaning? What else but this: Magnani is gone, but her performances will live forever.

Music Why do people hate Dave Matthews?
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 1:18 PM
Since the concert ended on Wednesday night, I've spent the last 36 hours pondering the music of the Dave Matthews Band. It's quite clear from what I've read online before and after his concert that people either love him or hate him. There's really no middle ground.
So, I started to wonder - why do so many people hate Dave Matthews and his music?
A search for "Dave Matthews is terrible" on Google led me to countless message boards where people voiced dislike of him. Most reasons were little more than "because he sucks," "I hate his voice" or "I hate his dancing." A lot of people hate Thom Yorke's vocals, too, but Radiohead doesn't draw nearly the ire of DMB.
Is it because Dave Matthews Band has sold tens of millions of albums? This led me to ponder the "he's a sell-out" argument. So, I did a little research:
* He has 14 nominations, but only one Grammy win.
* He's never won an MTV Video Music Award.
* He's never won an American Music Award.
* The last six of his eight studio albums have gone to No. 1 on the U.S. charts, but he's never had a No. 1 song.
* I can't find any examples where his music has been used in a television commercial.
All of that doesn't quite add up to the "sell out" definition.
So, what is it?
Aside from the one time his bus dumped waste on to a tour in Chicago, I never read bad press about him in the mainstream media or tabloids or see random paparazzi photos of him doing something shady. He rarely gives interviews - but is that a positive or a negative?
The "I Hate Dave Matthews" Facebook page only has 105 fans.
Looking at the positives, I can appreciate the fact he walks out on stage and personally introduces the opening band at every tour stop.
At the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre show in Charlotte on Wednesday night, the concert was delayed one hour because of lightning. Instead of playing a short set and ending at 11 p.m. as the curfew dictates, his band continued through for a couple more songs and an encore, leading to at least a $1,000 fine. (Though rumors continue that the fine is $1,000 per minute, that is not specifically stated in the city noise ordinance.)
The band had an XM Radio channel for a brief period. The only other bands to be featured - Led Zeppelin, Metallica, The Who, Coldplay and AC/DC. Permanent channels exist for the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis and Pearl Jam.
I also can't think of many other bands that have been around for more than 20 years that sell out large amphitheatres in the same markets year after year. Phish does. Country acts like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. Jimmy Buffett. Bands like 311 and Motley Crue have been touring a lot, but don't draw consistent crowds each year.
Many people say it's "bro" music, or "frat rock." At this week's concert, I didn't see any popped collars, Greek letters on t-shirts or, in fact, many people under age 25. It appeared like most people were in their 30s and dressed like the average person walking down the street.
Some people point to the band's lyrics, but even some of Dave's fans talk about his worst lyrics. And what band hasn't written some questionably bad lyrics? "Ob La Di, Ob La Da," anyone?
Maybe it's the music? I'd say everyone in the band is proficient and talented. Ever tried to play one of Dave's songs on guitar? You better have nimble fingers. Tim Reynolds has made plenty of "Top 100 guitarists" lists. Jeff Coffin is simply a wizard on saxophone. Carter Beauford is an incredible drummer, which, fascinatingly, even DMB's biggest detractors agree with. ("Carter is an amazing drummer, but the rest of the band sucks" is a common remark.)
There's the "all the songs sound the same" argument, but you can say that for virtually any band you aren't a fan of, can't you? Much like the Grateful Dead and Phish, Dave Matthews Band has released far more live recordings and are known for concerts, tape trading and the on-stage dynamics of their songs more than just the studio versions.
American Idol, Philip Phillips, sounds and acts just like him, and someone had to vote for him... though maybe that's more of a reason to dislike the lack of originality in Phillips?
I've also seen an argument of "I don't like him because of the people who like him," which is one of the worst reasons I've heard for any band.
So, what is it? If you can quickly say, "I don't like Dave Matthews," is it anything more than simply not liking his voice or the music? Perhaps he's just the Anne Hathaway of music, or as my co-worker said, "Some people just suck."

Q: How to change the icon of an action in the toolbar at runtime? I want to change QAction's icon in Toolbar when it is clicked.
I have seen the same question in C++, but it's hard to me to understand other languages. (On Qt, how to change the icon of an action in the toolbar at runtime?)
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):

        self.PausePlay = QAction(QIcon('Play.png'), 'Play')
        self.PausePlay.setCheckable(True)
        self.PausePlay.triggered[bool].connect(self.Playing)

        self.toolbar = self.addToolBar('tb')
        self.toolbar.addAction(self.PausePlay)

        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 300, 300)
        self.show()

    def Playing(self, active):
        if active:

            # setting new icon

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    MWindow = MainWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

A: It is not necessary to use QToolButton as the other answers indicate. In this case you should only get the QAction and set a new icon
def Playing(self, active):
    self.PausePlay.setIcon(QIcon("icon1.png") if active else QIcon("icon2.png"))

The Poetry Anthology, 1912-2002
Ninety Years of America's Most Distinguished Verse Magazine
By Parisi, Joseph
ISBN10: 1566634687 ISBN13: 9781566634687 Contributors: Young, Stephen (Editor) Publisher: Ivan R Dee Published: Oct 1 2002 Pages: 576 Weight: 1.75lbs. Height: 8.75" Width: 6.00" Depth: 1.50" Language: English
"The history of poetry and of Poetry in America are almost interchangeable, certainly inseparable," wrote A. R. Ammons. Founded by Harriet Monroe in 1912, Poetry magazine established its reputation immediately by printing T. S. Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," Carl Sandburg's "Chicago Poems," Wallace Stevens's "Sunday Morning," and the first important poems of Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, Robert Frost, and many other then unknown, now classic authors. Publishing monthly without interruption, Poetry has become America's most distinguished magazine of verse, presenting, often for the very first time, virtually every notable poet of the last nine decades--an unprecedented record. Decade by decade, this bountiful ninetieth-anniversary anthology from Poetry includes the poems of the major talents--along with several lesser known--in all their variety: William Butler Yeats, Edgar Lee Masters, Sara Teasdale, D. H. Lawrence, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Vachel Lindsay, Robert Graves, May Sarton, Langston Hughes, W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Hart Crane, Robert Penn Warren, Dylan Thomas, e. e. cummings, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Merrill, John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, Randall Jarrell, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell, Robinson Jeffers, Theodore Roethke, Karl Shapiro, Anne Sexton, Thom Gunn, John Berryman, Sylvia Plath, Maxine Kumin, Ted Hughes, Adrienne Rich, and Galway Kinnell. In recent decades, Poetry has presented Seamus Heaney, Rita Dove, Billy Collins, Kay Ryan, Eavan Boland, Stephen Dunn, Mary Oliver, Yusef Komunyakaa, Jane Kenyon, James Tate, Sharon Olds, Louise Gl ck, Marilyn Hacker, and many, many others. T. S. Eliot called Poetry "an American institution." The Poetry Anthology is sure to be an American keepsake.

Welcome to ginger-Barad-Dûr, home of the great shadow of Middle Earth, made completely out of gingerbread. Who knew Sauron had such a sweet tooth.
You might not have been all that psyched by Panasonic's first out-of-Asia phone offering, the Eluga, but it's coming to the UK in April. It might be running Gingerbread on release, but it is slim and waterproof, which should give you one less thing to worry about.
Sony's new phone line has been making waves – we quite liked the Xperia S, giving it four out of five stars in our review. Now we've got another entry, the Xperia Sola aka the Pepper, touting something called "floating touch" for "magic web browsing without touching the screen", because dragging your finger on glass is just so last year.
Seems LG wants a piece of the stylus-packing too-big-to-be-a-phone, but too-small-to-be-a-tablet market. It launched the teased Optimus Vu over the weekend and it's nothing like the Galaxy Note, honest.
ZTE's been on a budget smartphone mission as of late in the UK. Now it's pushing a cheapish 7-inch Android tablet, but the problem is that it's not running Ice Cream Sandwich. In fact it's not even running Honeycomb; it's still running Gingerbread. What are they thinking?
This is why people love Android. You can spend £500 on a Galaxy Nexus, or £99 on a T-Mobile Vivacity. Obviously the Viv isn't as powerful, but Android 2.3 on a 3.5" screen for £100 is "Black Friday" level cheap.

from the view blade, the error vanished.
How do I resolve this?
Thank you

A: @AndySong has pointed out the issue, you are trying to get a property on null.
A couple of solutions:

*

*If you cannot find the current status, should the page still load? If not, use firstOrFail() :

Example -
$currentstatus = AppraisalGoal::select('is_approved')
    ->where('employee_id', $id)
    ->where('appraisal_identity_id', $identities->id)
    ->where('is_published', 1)
    ->where('id', '!=', $linemanager->line_manager_id)
    ->firstOrFail();

*Change your if statements around for current status to check if current status is null:

Example -
Current Status:
@if (is_null($currentstatus))
    Draft
@elseif ($currentstatus->is_approved == 3)
    Approved
@elseif ($currentstatus->is_approved == 2)
    Not Approved
@elseif ($currentstatus->is_approved == 1)
    Awaiting Approval
@else
    Draft
@endif

Three white Americans sentenced to life in prison for killing African-American Jacker Ahmed Arberi
His name was uttered during the major anti-racist protests that rocked the country in the summer of 2020.
Article written by
Posted 01/07/2022 22:39
Study time: 1 minute.
They were convicted of murder on November 24 after a heated debate over issues of racism and the right to self-defense. Three white Americans Ahmed Arbery was sentenced to life in prison on Friday, January 7, 2020, for the murder of a young black joker in Georgia, South America, in February 2020.
Travis McMichael, 35, who made the deadly shots, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 66, were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of early release. Their next-door neighbor, William Bryan, 52, took part in the shooting and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of seeking early release after 30 years in prison.
Ahmed Arbury left "He ran for his life to jog", Judge Timothy Walmsley said while serving his sentence in the coastal city of Brunswick in the southeastern part of the state.
Before the judge, Ahmed Arbery's family filed a lawsuit Friday morning "Maximum sentence". They "They targeted my son because they did not like him in the neighborhood", Promised by Wanda Cooper-Jones, mother of Ahmed Arbery.
Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. Defendants said they took Ahmed Arbery for a burglar who saw him enter a house under construction a few days ago.
Ahmed Arbery's name was chanted during the massive anti-racism protests that rocked the country in the summer of 2020, after he was assassinated by a white police officer following the death of an African-American, George Floyd.

Q: How do I commit suicide? I was recently playing on a KOTH map, Illios, and for some reason, on the second round, I ended up spawning in the enemy team's ship.
I think it's most likely a bug that got me there, but here's the rest of the problem.  When I tried to leave the enemy team's ship (spawn point), the yellow barrier prevented me from leaving.
The enemy team refused to kill me, finding it somewhat amusing I was in their spawn and thus not only could I not damage them, I could not escape at all, making me their pet.
In any case, I tried changing heroes to return the menu but I got the message "You must be in a spawn room to change heroes.", despite me being in a spawn room, albeit the enemies.
Is there a suicide command that I can bind a key to should I be unable to get out of a spot or be glitched out, just like in this case?

A: Having looked through pretty much all options and controls in the game, I have not ever seen an option to commit suicide. So unless you are playing a hero who has splash damage, you cannot kill yourself. If you are not playing a hero with splash damage, your best bet is just to quit the match so your team can get someone able to do stuff.
You may also want to report the issue to Blizzard so they can maybe figure out what is wrong and fix the bug.

A: If you are playing any character with explosives (Junkrat, Pharah, Zarya, Soldier 76), you can aim your explosives at your own feet to blow yourself up. In normal circumstances, you could also jump off a cliff or into a hole to kill yourself (obviously not possible in your scenario).
Other than that there is no way to kill yourself. You would either have to wait until the round is over, or until you get disconnected/quit the game.
You may want to post this bug on the forums as well, in case it's something that Blizzard can fix.

NOTE: As of the patch on March 21, 2017, Junkrat can no longer damage himself with his own bombs.

News writers produce news stories. They are called "news stories" because they tell stories about ACTUAL PEOPLE, PLACES, EVENTS and THINGS. Yet a news story is different than traditional stories, such as legends, fairy tales and other works of fiction. Those stories are usually much longer and are organized very differently. The job of a fictional story is to entertain and those stories can afford to deliver their main point at the end of the story, which is often why they begin with the phrase, "Once upon a time. . ." A news story is almost the opposite. It is immediate and often delivers perishable information that may change moments later. It must compete with many other stories for a reader's or listener's attention, so it contains it's punch line in the very first sentence. But a news story is different than other types of non-fiction writing because of "news". If you read something and say to yourself, "I know that", then what you're reading probably is not news and can be considered a historical fact.

Extractions: Monitor-Current Issue The ABCs of news writing are Accuracy, Brevity and Clarity. The first and most important is accuracy a story can be creative and compelling, but if it contains errors, it is worthless. Actually, it is worse than worthless; a false news story undercuts the public trust necessary for the survival of a free press. Keep in mind that the First Amendment specifically protects the press from government control so that the public can receive accurate and unbiased information. The public needs unbiased information to make intelligent choices in the voting booth. This is critical to the process of democracy in our country. If the public loses faith in the accuracy and fairness of the press, loss of faith in democracy will soon follow. Always check numbers, spellings of names, who said what, and the other basic facts of any story. A reporter's job is to find out what is going on, then write a story that's interesting and informative. Accuracy always comes first. Second is brevity. Each word in your story should do a job. If not, take it out. Get to the point. Say it just once. Don't be redundant. Don't say "8 a.m. in the morning," since 8 a.m. is in the morning. Just say 8 a.m. Or say 8 in the morning. Remember the inverted pyramid style of writing. Put the most important fact in the lead. Hook the reader's attention. Explain the lead and then go on to the next most important fact in the second inverted pyramid. And then the next. Lead up to an interesting finish. Don't just stop writing when you run out of information.

Академіка да Прая або просто Академіка () — професіональний кабовердійський футбольний клуб з міста Прая, на острові Сантьягу.

Історія

«Академіка» виграла вперше національний чемпіонат в 1965 році, перемігши ФК Дербі з Мінделу з рахунком 3:2 в додатковому часі, таким чином вони завоювали єдине чемпіонство до отримання незалежності Кабо-Верде. В 1968 році команда виграла регіональний чемпіонат острову Сантьягу, в якому на той час брали участь й інші острови, після перемоги над Уш Гаррідуш з гігантським рахунком 21:0 , 9 з яких забив у ворота суперників Луїш Баштуш. «Академіка» зустрілася у фіналі знову з Мінделенше та програла їм з рахунком 0:1.

Команда виграла свій перший (із п'яти загалом) регіональний титул після розпаду та вийшла до фіналу 2004 року, де зустрілася із ФК «Саль-Рей» і перемогла спочатку з рахунком 2:0 в першому та 1:2 у другому матчах. Наступні два виступи завершилися лише участю в фіналах. Академіка (Прая) був першим клубом, який виграв Кубок Кабо-Верде в 2007 році після перемоги з рахунком 3:1 над Академікою ду Аеропорту.

«Академіка» відзначила своє 50-річчя в 2012 році.

Стадіон

«Академіка» (Прая) грає на стадіоні «Ештадіу да Варжеа», який вона ділить з іншими командами з міста Праї у всіх регіональних іграх, які проводяться в рамках Чемпіонату острова Сантьягу (Південь). Він розрахований на 8000 глядачів.

Тренування команда також проводить на стадіоні «Ештадіу да Варжеа», або на стадіоні «Сукупіра» (на останньому зіграла лише один матч).

Досягнення

Національні титули: 2 перемоги
 Чемпіонат Кабо-Верде: 1 перемога

Sometimes a person has to die to their old selves and become something new entirely. Robert Brady is such a man. Follow a former assassin; a former SEAL; a husband...a father; as he learns about his past, faces death, and wins. But can a man as dangerous as Robert Brady ever find redemption?
I hear the audible voice of God say to me 3 times,'Ive given you the princely anointing. Then I awoke and was lying in the swaying bed on this yacht.
This is the true story of the struggle, and lessons God taught m wife and I over a two year span, following her life threatening illness.
If you had a chance to make a difference would you take it? Would you consciously enter a realm where reality, fantasy and insanity hold no delineation? Could you hold to your own set of values to rise to the challenges thrust upon you? Dare to take the journey .... Illluminarium, Book One in the Soliloquy's Labyrinth Series.
Spiritual Gumbo contains 30 poems with a full range of emotions - it is a collection of poems written while I was in the brink of happiness, sadness, love, hate, joy, pain and in a state of disrepair.
The book is a collection of thoughts and poems that reflect the hills and valleys of life. The book is a collection of thoughts and poems the author wrote from junior high school to adulthood.
These are the questions we all have about life. Some of us are afraid to ask them, some of us are convinced there are no good answers to these questions, and still yet others are too distracted by life to consider asking them. Somewhere – greed plays into this too as a root emotion. Me, Me, Me!!!!!
Living a spiritual life is truly believing there is a power greater than ourselves. Our spiritual journeys will be different, but our goal should be to be the kind of friend we wish to find. We must understand who we really are, without taking ourselves too seriously. Faith is believing in the unknown and we must direct our faith in a way that makes our life more helpful to those around us.

Knowledge of the relationship between rate of nitrification and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, and between cumulative nitrification and N2O emission is important for developing N2O emission mitigation strategies. Gross nitrification and N2O from nitrification were determined using 15N labelling of inorganic N. N-Serve was added to delay nitrification and results showed an increase in rate of N2O emission with that of apparent nitrification in absence of N-Serve, but there was no relation in its presence. Same amount of cumulative N2O was emitted for same amount of nitrogen (N) apparently nitrified, regardless of N-Serve addition. There was no relation between N2O emission attributed to nitrification and gross nitrification with and without N-Serve. Again, same amount of cumulative N2O was emitted for same amount of gross nitrified N, regardless of N-Serve addition. These results imply that the amount of N nitrified dictates eventual cumulative N2O emitted, regardless of rate of nitrification.

1. Experiences of Academics from a Working-Class Heritage: Ghosts of Childhood Habitus
By Carole Binns
This book is a twist on the current discourse around 'inclusivity' and 'widening participation'. Higher education is welcoming students from diverse educational, social, and economic backgrounds, and yet it predominantly employs middle-class academics. Conceptually, there appears, on at least these grounds alone, to be a cultural and class mismatch. This work discusses empirical interviews with tenured academics from a working-class heritage employed in one UK university. Interviewees talk candidly about their childhood backgrounds, their school experiences, and what happened to them after leaving compulsory education. They also reveal their experiences of university, both as students and academics from their early careers to the present day. This book will be of interest to an international audience that includes new and aspiring academics who come from a working-class background themselves. The multifaceted findings will also be relevant to established academics and students of sociology, education studies and social class.

2. Reinventing Europeans through History, Art and Cultural Learning
By the Nordic Center of Heritage Learning and Creativity, with Euracademy, Provincia di Livorno Sviluppo, The Greek Forum for Refugees, University College of Southeast Norway, Izobrazevalni Center Geoss d.o.o., and Jamtli Foundation
The Reinventing Europeans through History, Art and Culture Learning project (REHAC Learning) is a collaboration between partners from Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Norway and Sweden and aims at investigating, designing and delivering new and effective ways of strengthening the skills of the educators who train and support refugees. At the same time, it seeks to enhance the basic skills, key competences and language competencies of the refugees themselves. It will reach this goal by exploiting the learning possibilities offered by culture, the arts and history with a strong focus on the life experiences of the learners. The project's outcome will consist in new learning methodologies, materials and tools that can be easily used and modified by the educators in order to fit the learning needs of the refugees in the best possible ways. Teachers and adult learning providers are meeting increasing challenges due to the diverse, multicultural groups of students who undertake learning with them at all levels of education. Managing such diverse learning groups requires new skills and an increased awareness of the challenges that the students are facing. This project aims to assist educators in reviewing and enhancing their teaching skills and wants to encourage them to use innovative methodologies based on experiential learning.

3. Teaching and Learning About Diversity and Social Justice at the Graduate Level: Students' Attitudes Toward Classroom Sharing
By Elizabeth Rupert and Audrey Falk
This paper explores student participation in dialogue in two sections of a master's level course in diversity and social justice. The researchers, including a student from the course and the instructor of the course, analyzed responses to a brief survey and transcripts from student focus groups. Three major themes relevant to students' attitudes about classroom sharing emerged, including students' nature; students' perceptions of their expertise; and students' concerns about being judged. Recommendations for creating classroom environments that facilitate open exchange are offered.

4. Gender Approaches in the Translation Classroom: Training the Doers
By Marcella De Marco and Piero Toto (eds.)
This volume examines strategies for embedding gender awareness within translation studies and translator training programmes. Drawing on a rich collection of theoretically-informed case studies, its authors provide practical advice and examples on implementing gender-inclusive approaches and language strategies in the classroom. It focuses on topics including, how to develop gender-inclusive practices to challenge students' attitudes and behaviours; whether there are institutional constraints that prevent trainers from implementing non-heteronormative practices in their teaching; and how gender awareness can become an everyday mode of expression. Positioned at the lively interface of gender and translation studies, this work will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from across the fields of linguistics, education, sociology and cultural studies.

5. The Insider's Guide to Working with Universities: Practical Insights for Board Members, Businesspeople, Entrepreneurs, Philanthropists, Alumni, Parents, and Administrators
By James W. Dean Jr. and Deborah Y. Clarke
Colleges and universities stand to benefit greatly when businesspeople engage with them, whether through governing boards, alumni associations, consulting arrangements, philanthropy, or other channels. But many businesspeople are frustrated by the way institutions of higher education work–or rather, how they don't work. Why do decisions in universities take so long and involve so many people? Why aren't profit and growth top priorities for colleges? Why can't the faculty be managed like any other employees? Shouldn't alumni have a greater say as they continue to invest in their alma mater?

Foreword by Roy Flukinger. Afterword by Anne Wilkes Tucker.
The Byrd Williams Collection at the University of North Texas contains more than 10,000 prints and 300,000 negatives, accumulated by four generations of Texas photographers, all named Byrd Moore Williams. Beginning in the 1880s in Gainesville, the four Byrds photographed customers in their studios, urban landscapes, crime scenes, Pancho Villa's soldiers, televangelists, and whatever aroused their unpredictable and wide-ranging curiosity. When Byrd IV sat down to choose a selection from this dizzying array, he came face to face with the nature of mortality and memory, his own and his family's. In some cases, these photos are the only evidence remaining that someone lived and breathed on this earth.
The 193 photos selected here are organized into thematic sections such as "Landscapes," "Violence and Religion," and "Darkness." They are significant not just for the range of subjects, but for the inclusion of a variety of examples of the evolving photographic technology from the 1880s to the present. This book is an unprecedented portrait of both photographic history and the history of Texas, as well as a record of one unique family.

Information/Write-up
Plastic Cloud were Mike Cadieux on guitar; Don Brewer on guitar, vocals; Brian Madill on bass; Randy Umphrey on drums - together they were the pride of Bay Ridge, Ontario and together they released this magnum opus Canadian holy grail psych garage fuzz album in 1968 on Allied 10.
Produced by Bill Bessy and Jack Boswell (who together also produced other legendary albums such as The Folklords, Christmas, Intersystems-Peachy, Reign Ghost featuring Lynda Squires, Reign Ghost-ST, The Sinners-Go Go Trudeau, Dave Wells and the Four Winds, Eddy Bastien-Sings Something New Something Old, Jenny Reeves, among other Allied / Pentagon / Paragon works).
The album came with an insert. Reportedy, there were 500 copies pressed.
The album was first re-issued on CD out of New Jersey, USA on Laser's Edge LE 1002 in 1990 and again in 1994 (without the green on the CD or on inserts). The first Laser's Edge re-issue is a tough CD to find and will fetch $75.00. It was first re-issued on LP on Void Records in 1999, with a pressing of 400. That re-issue has climbed in value to $80.00. In 2005, it was re-issued on CD in Italy on Akarma AK 316. In 2007, Pacemaker re-issued it on LP (700 copies) and CD on PACE 046. The album was also bootlegged on Toad Stool 2104, together with 3 inserts and was limited to 100 copies.
The Plastic Cloud album was accompanied by the 45: "Shadows Of Your Mind b/w Dainty General Rides" on Allied 6357.
From the album press release by Allied:
"The concept of a plastic cloud may seem somewhat paradoxical to scholars, but to the younger generation it is a way of life. Plastic, a production in itself, is a confusing, all too real fragment of life. A cloud, as always, is the wall of imagination upon which many aspirants have hung their fondest wishes. Reality for the Phd world is a hang-up. Locked inside a scientific world where imagination has only a price tag, they miss the creativity of a world where a flame can be anything.
Because of this, four of Canada's finest musicians have surrounded themselves with the cloak of a cloudy imagination to form the PLASTIC CLOUD.
Brian Madill, 21, has a history of music that goes back over 11 years. When he joined the Cloud he latched onto a bass and tore his hands to pieces. Now, he can tear your mind into multi-colored pulsating pieces of happiness. Quiet, but intense, Brian forms the nucleus of the group.
Randy Umphrey, 20, is a drummer. A very good one. He wouldn't have it any other way. Randy lives in Bay Ridges, Ontario, but it could be anywhere else, in any other time period or age, and he still would have been a drummer. He lives to play, he loves to play. A very good drummer. He wouldn't have it any other way.
There is little one can say about Mike Cadieux, except brilliant. Mike's bag ranges from folk to acid (rock that is) and his ability to move from one to the other is striking. Mike's imagination knows no limits and when he plays he is in a world of his own. Beware, however. If you don't understand his, he'll blow your cool and send you to the sky.
Don Brewer, 22, is a composer. Don is in his last year of university (but that's not his problem) and writes all the material for the group. He's not particularly wild about the world, but then who really can be. Don tries, through his music, to tell it like it is, or like it should be. His bag of musical tricks is only half full, but it's a big bag and he tries to live the part of his hero, Santa Claus. Watch for him at Christmas. His nose may be a little red, but he may ho ho you to death."

Chaos as warlord buried in home city
JEDDAH: After more than 20 years of wreaking death and destruction throughout the Middle East, Iranian warlord Qassem Soleimani claimed his final victims on Tuesday — at least 56 people crushed to death at his own funeral.
More than 200 were injured when the procession through Soleimani's home city of Kerman in southeast Iran descended into chaos. As the truck carrying his coffin edged slowly forward, thousands in the crowd were pushed off the street and into a narrow side alley, where dozens of men, women and children were trampled and crushed to death.
"Some held hands together, trying to open a path to the street," one witness said. "But there were so many people in the alley, all thrown on top of each other, and killed."
Soleimani was head of the overseas Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), responsible for setting up and controlling Iran's network of proxy militias and armed groups in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. His death in a US drone missile strike near Baghdad airport last Friday has led to an exchange of threats between Washington and Tehran, and heightened tensions throughout the region.
"We will take revenge, a hard and definitive revenge," IRGC chief Gen. Hossein Salami told the crowds at the funeral in Kerman.
Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said 13 "revenge scenarios" were being considered. Even the weakest option would be "a historic nightmare for the Americans," he said.
US President Donald Trump has promised to target 52 Iranian sites if Iran retaliates for Soleimani's death.
In Iraq, where Parliament has demanded the government expel all 5,200 US troops in response to the drone attack, Baghdad asked the UN Security Council to condemn the US strike so that "the law of the jungle" does not prevail.
The attack was "a dangerous escalation that could lead to a devastating war in Iraq, the region and the world," said Iraq's UN ambassador Mohammed Hussein Bahr-Aluloom.
Iran-backed armed factions in Iraq threatened "a war against the American presence in all parts of the region that we can reach," and called for a meeting of anti-US militias to decide on their next step.
"We will regroup the forces of the resistance in a single entity to respond to Washington," said Nasr Al-Shammary, deputy head of Harakat Al-Nujaba, one of the most hardline factions of Iraq's Hashd Al-Shaabi paramilitary network. Another militia leader, Qais Al-Khazali, told US forces that his fighters would "turn the skies above you into hell."
The foreign ministers of Britain, France, Germany and Italy, plus the EU diplomatic chief, met in Brussels for emergency talks on Iran.

Palestinian envoy welcomes cross-party call ahead of visit by Prince Charles
LONDON: A group of British MPs has called for the UK to recognize the state of Palestine ahead of a visit by Prince Charles to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a letter to The Times, the MPs, along with figures from think tanks and pressure groups, said the move was long overdue and would help fulfill Britain's "promise of equal rights for peoples in two states."
The call comes as the heir to the British throne travels on Thursday to Israel and the occupied West Bank.
During the visit, he will meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem.
Prince Charles will also attend the World Holocaust Forum to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The letter said since 2014, no meaningful progress has been made in the peace process, and Israel's actions are pushing a two-state solution beyond reach.
"Illegal Israeli settlements, described by the Foreign Office as undermining peace efforts, are expanding," the letter said.
Among the signatories are Emily Thornberry, a candidate for the Labour Party leadership, and Crispin Blunt, chairman of the Conservative Middle East Council.
Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian envoy to the UK, welcomed the move but said full recognition from the British government should have happened many years ago.
"Recognition doesn't contradict peacemaking and negotiations," Zomlot told Arab News, referring to the main argument used by the UK against taking such a step.
"It reinforces the vision (of a Palestinian state) and a negotiated two-state solution. It should happen now because of the threat of annexation (of Palestinian territory) and the killing of the two-state solution."
FASTFACT
Alistair Carmichael, a Liberal Democrat MP who signed the letter, told Arab News that the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government toward Palestine "makes the achievement of a two-state solution more and more remote with every week that passes."
He said: "The UK has historic and political obligations toward Israelis and Palestinians. There's now no longer any good reason not to recognize the state of Palestine."
A spokesman for Labour MP Fabian Hamilton, who also signed the letter, told Arab News: "The fact that this has cross-party support shows the growing desire across Parliament for the recognition of a Palestinian state and a two-state solution."
Chris Doyle, director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding, said the international community needs to finally stand up for the solution that it has had on the table for decades.
Doyle, an Arab News columnist, said the letter is an "indication that many people in British politics think we should be doing this, we should be standing up for the Palestinian right to self-determination, the legal rights, at a time when the state of Israel is doing everything to stop this, to take more land from the Palestinians."
The letter was timed to coincide with a meeting of European foreign ministers on Monday, who discussed the Middle East peace process.
The Palestinian Authority, which runs parts of the West Bank, has been increasing calls for European countries to recognize the state of Palestine as the US has shifted to a more pro-Israel stance, including recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2017.
Writing in The Guardian on Monday, Saeb Erekat, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said Europe could strengthen its role in the peace process if it recognized Palestine.
"European recognition of this state is not only a European responsibility but a concrete way to move towards a just and lasting peace," he said.
Only nine out of the 28 EU countries have so far recognized Palestine as a state, compared to 138 out of the 193 UN member states.
In 2011, the UK's then-Foreign Minister William Hague said the British government "reserves the right" to recognize Palestine "at a time of our own choosing, and when it can best serve the cause of peace."
In 2012, the UN General Assembly voted to upgrade Palestine's status to that of "nonmember observer state."

Staff will check in on the visit every 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes depending on the family circumstances and length of the visit. Intermittent supervised parenting time is begun and ended in the same fashion as regular supervised parenting time with a staff member present and staggered arrival and departure times set for parents. Participation in intermittent parenting will be up to the discretion of the program based on several factors, and participation cannot occur without certain minimum criteria being met, including successful participation in regular supervised parenting time for a minimum period of time without incident.
Therapeutic Supervised Parenting: Therapeutic Supervised Parenting (TSP) is a type of supervised parenting, but here the role of the monitor is different. In therapeutic supervised parenting, the monitor is a master's level therapist who works more actively with the family to achieve therapeutic goals, such as better communication between parents and children. TSP sessions are usually for one hour and may be covered by insurance.
