In the Garden:
Coastal and Tropical South
Somebody takes care of gardens in your community ... why not you?
Gardens to Share
Public places say a lot about a community, and public plantings give the most positive message. Street trees in bloom for blocks welcome visitors to the neighborhood and move people along from house to house. Flower gardens no town can afford are the province of volunteer groups across our region. Whether it's colorful annuals planted around the "Welcome To" sign, or a vegetable plot at the nursing home, someone decided to make it happen. Someone has to select the plants and keep them looking good so everyone -- visitors and residents alike -- can see the caring community in action. Why not you?
Places for Plants
Individuals often donate time and plants to gardens at churches, schools, and residential facilities like group homes. There may be a committee or board that has to approve such projects, but few are rejected because gardens are an asset. In fact, the principal at a nearby school may want the students to garden, and can finally do it with your help. Don't promise more than you can do, but do agree to set up a workable project, and devote a couple of hours a week to its maintenance for at least the first season. That way, you set a good gardening example and a routine of watering, fertilizing, and doing other chores that those on site can continue.
Garden clubs, neighborhood associations, and veterans groups, as well as chambers of commerce and other civic groups, are looking for you, the gardener who wants to contribute a garden to the community. Look for public greening projects, like planting trees in honor of soldiers at the park, or start a memorial rose garden at your church. Adopt-a-Spot projects in commercial areas and along highways need your garden smarts, as does the decrepit planting at the entrance to your subdivision.
Giving a garden is not limited to digging and shoveling. You can donate gardening books to the local library or botanic garden, join a group and raise money to plant trees, take photos of community gardens and host an exhibit. Donations of goods (how about a truck of planting soil for the school garden) and services (such as a landscape architect to consult on the project) can make a project go. You can write a newspaper article celebrating local efforts, or write a grant to support them. Your time and energy can make the world a nicer place, when you share a garden.

The second half of this year has begun with difficulties here in Latin America. Shortly after the military coup in Honduras, Colombian president Alvaro Uribe announced that the US would be installing seven military bases in that country. However, while in the first country a possible meddling of the US is a source of dissatisfaction in and outside of Honduras, the announcement of the second country has received the support of some, and silence from others.
The only outright opposition has come from Evo Morales (Bolivia), Rafael Correa (Ecuador) and Hugo Chavez (Venezuela). Peruvian president Alan Garcia has given his support to Uribe, while other leaders – Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Tabare Vazquez (Uruguay), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), and Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva have maintained diplomatic relations but have insisted on dialogue.
The agreement between the US and Colombia raises cause for concern, affirmed political scientist Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira, retired professor from the University of Brasília. In all, the United States will use seven bases, four already in existence and will build three more.
Even though the US has affirmed that the bases will be used for military operations aimed at combating drug trafficking and to refuel cargo planes, it is clear that the real objective is to maintain vigilance in the area.
Even official US documents confirm this, arguing for autonomy of flights departing from Colombia and an increase of budget for “non-specified” military operations.
Below are excerpts from an interview with Moniz Bandeira:
Do the installation of the bases signify the beginning of a great military build-up in the region?
The presence of military bases of the United States in South America is nothing new. There were already bases in Bolivia, and the Joint Peruvian Riverine Training Center – the epicenter of the war against the Sendero Luminoso – still functions. In May of 2008, 70 soldiers of the Task Force New Horizons arrived in Peru under the pretext of engaging in humanitarian operations. This number increased to 350 between June and July of that year.
In October, pilots and crew of the U.S. Army’s CH-47D “Chinook” and heavily armed soldiers from Task Force New Horizon gave support to 990 U.S. soldiers operating in this region, 575 kilometers southeast of Lima, where the U.S. was negotiating with the Peruvian Armed Forces for a military base. This in the context of firming up the Freed Trade Agreement enacted in December of 2007.
The interest of the U.S. in installing a base in Ayacucho, which is equidistant from the areas dominated by Farc in Colombia and the social conflicts in Bolivia, is to facilitate the mobilization of its contingents in all regions of South America.
The U.S. continues to use a naval base in Iquitos, north of Peru, in a strategic region of the Amazon, and has at its disposal marine equipment, such as combat launches. There are other bases in Santa Lucia and one over the Nanai River. In Ecuador, there is the Manta Air Force Base, which will be closed and moved to Palanquero, in Puerto Salar, 120 miles to the north of Bogotá.
So what is so new about this latest investment in Colombia?
What is new and cause for alarm is the extent to which operations will be amplified. This air force base in Puerto Salgar will be capable of receiving more than two thousand soldiers, it will possess radar equipment, and will have its own casinos, restaurants, supermarkets, theaters and hospital.
The airport runway will be the longest in Colombia at 3,500 meters, more that 600 meters than that of Manta. Three airplanes will be able to take off simultaneously. Thus they will have point of support in the center of Colombia – even better than that of Manta – with the installation of three military bases in Malambo (Caribbean coast), Palanquero (close to Bogota), and Apiay, near the Brazilian border.
With the installation of these bases, is there any legitimacy to the argument that Colombia may become the “Israel” of Latin America?
You cannot compare Colombia to Israel. The economic conditions, the politics and the cultures are quite different. But, in fact, the US military support to Colombia, since 2004, will by this year mount up to US$ 3.3 billion. Or better, since the beginning of the Colombian Plan in 2000, the Colombian army has received US$ 4.35 billion, making it the best equipped army of South America, relatively speaking.
With a population of 44 million, Colombia has military contingent of 208,600. Brazil, with a population of 190 million and 8.5 million square kilometers has only 287,870 in its military; Argentina, with 40 million inhabitants and 2.7 million square kilometers, has only 71,655.
Colombia, with a Gross Domestic Product at US$ 320.4 billion, designates 3.8% of its budget to military spending. Brazil, with a US$ 2 trillion GDP only spends 1.5%. Argentina, with a US$ 523,7 billion GDP, spends only 1.1%.
In 2005, Congress granted to the region US$ 9.2 million in economic aid, and another US$ 859.6 for military assistance. In fighting the guerillas, soldiers and police have committed an increasing number of murders and abuses of human rights, and over a period of five years, up to June of 2006, extrajudicial executions increased more than 50% in relation to the previous period.
How would you evaluate the positioning of the Latin-American presidents in relation to the bases? How do you see Uribe’s efforts to dialogue with some of these heads of states?
As far as I know, with the exception of Alan Garcia, they are all opposed, but they see it as a sovereignty issue of Colombia. What else can they do? They cannot intervene in Colombia. But there is isolation, and it was Uribe’s intention to avoid greater isolation when he visited some countries in South America, including Brazil.
The U.S. budget proposal for spending in Colombia calls for a 13% decrease in spending destined for combating drug trafficking, while spending for “non-specific” military operations is 30% more compared to the previous budget. What do these numbers demonstrate?
The justification in the agreements for military bases in Latin America and the Caribbean is the combat of drug trafficking. But there is an explicit understanding that in the use of these bases “it is not prohibited other types of organization of the Department of Defense.”
It is clear that the United States uses these Forward Operation Locations, installed also in El Salvador and in Aruba/Curacao, for other types of operations. They have an objective strategy. The permanent stationing of troops and military equipment in Colombia and in Peru, as well as in Suriname and Guiana, and previously in Ecuador and Bolivia, gives the U.S. an enormous strategic advantage to intervene militarily in whatever country, and if necessary, to defend its economic interests and occupy the regions of the Amazon River.
In reality, the militarization of Colombia, with the presence of more than 1,000 soldiers and U.S. mercenaries who are employed by Pentagon business firms, in the region and neighboring regions, constitutes a threat to Brazil’s own national security, in the measure that it threatens the Amazon.
Do you see a connection between the bases in Colombia and the coup in Honduras?
Although they happened at roughly the same time, and in some sense are related, there is no direct connection between the coup in Honduras and the installation of the bases in Colombia. The transfer of the military installations in Manta to Colombia was already planned since Rafael Correa became president of Ecuador and had already announced in January of 2007 that he was not going to renew the contract for the Manta base.
As I have said, what is different about the bases of Colombia is the size, besides the objective of combating drug trafficking being suspect. This was certainly planned with the restoration of the Fourth Fleet of the South Atlantic, amplifying U.S. presence in the region and thus assuring control of the region’s natural resources, such as water and petroleum. The objective is to restrict the political and military power of Brazil, frustrating initiatives like Unasur and South American Council of Defense. These are not under U.S. domination.
With the installation and amplification of military bases on the margins of the Amazon and the Fourth Fleet navigating the South Atlantic on the margins of the enormous oil reserves discovered by Petrobras, Brazil is surrounded. South America is surrounded, and marked militarily as an economic and geopolitical space of the United States.

After mistakenly selling ‘halal’ meat products containing pork to unwitting customers across the UK, supermarket chain Aldi has been forced to apologize.
The discovery that pigskin and blood were used in ‘halal’ black puddings infuriated shoppers at the chain, some of whom were practicing Muslims and thus forbidden to eat pork.
“This is absolutely outrageous and I am deeply offended by this,” Manahil Khan told the Daily Mirror newspaper on Sunday.
Aldi offered an apology and said the issue was being looked into.
“Regarding the Punjab Pakora Black Pudding Pakora (supplied by Punjab Pakora), we have now investigated this matter with the supplier, who has advised that the packaging was incorrectly labeled as Halal-certified and the problem is currently being rectified,” he said.
“We apologize for any confusion caused by this unfortunate, isolated matter. While this is not a food safety or legal compliance issue, any customers who are not satisfied are welcome to return their purchase to the store for a full refund.”
Last year, in France, a special kit went on sale to help detect the presence of pork in food products.
The ‘Halal Test’ was aimed at the Islamic market and claims to rapidly detect the presence of pork in any meal.
The demonstration video instructs viewers to take a piece of meat, place it in a small flask and add a few drops of hot water.
“The appearance of two red lines means that we have pork present,” Abderrahmane Chaoui, one of the product’s creators, says in the video.
This means that the product cannot be consumed by Muslims, as eating pork is outlawed by the Koran.
By contrast, one bar indicates that pork is not present and that the product meets Islamic consumption standards.
“I am pretty sure many others of the Muslim community are also very offended by this,” he added.
“It is demoralizing and goes against one’s religious morals and scripture….and I speak on behalf of every Muslim and human that does not deserve to be misled by any sort of false claim of halal food or lies about what we consume.”
Punjab Pakora, who supplied the products, said in a statement: “The mistake happened when we did the print run and unfortunately our manager failed to spot this error and got approval for printing.
“We have been trying our very best and hardest (to correct the issue) and have contacted different clients involved and have sorted the issue.” | <urn:uuid:82479f21-e90c-425e-ae33-88ccb020ee3b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.halaltimes.com/aldi-apologises-to-muslim-customers-after-accidentally-selling-customers-halal-cork/ | 2023-12-08T17:09:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100762.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208144732-20231208174732-00548.warc.gz | en | 0.972826 | 545 |
Sausages, hamburger patties, lamb chops and T-bone steak. There is nothing like the traditional barbecue on Australia Day.
But like a piece of bone inconveniently lodged between our teeth, a small but growing segment of our society – vegans – question the ethical side of the Aussie BBQ tradition.
They ask: why is it that we continue to eat meat and animal products (such as milk and eggs), when we know (no matter how much we try not to know) how many of these products arrive on our table?
Veganism is a response to the ethical problems created by these industries, which treat animals as nothing more than raw material to be processed into food. The principles of veganism advocate the exclusion of “…flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey and animals’ milk, butter, and cheese” from our diet, and aim to “abolish man’s dependence on animals – and to create - a more reasonable and humane order of society”.
Despite the clear moral appeal to veganism, however, the number of vegans in Western societies remains low. Vegans constitute only 1-2% of Americans, 5% of Israelis, 2% of British and 1% of Australians. Why is this so?
In her book Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows (2011) Melanie Joy, a US psychologist and vegan activist, provides an answer to this question.
Joy claims that despite having an affection for animals, people consume meat because they have a mental disconnect between eating meat and killing animals; an ingrained belief that meat consumption is normal, natural and necessary; and cognitive distortions that perceive animals as lacking any individuality or personality.
You don’t have to go vegan to save the planet
So how can we break down these cognitive distortions and engage in more ethical consumption practices?
In her recent TED Talk, Joy suggests that the solution ultimately lies in normalising veganism.
We agree with this, and additionally suggest that partial solutions can help many people gradually reach this goal over time. Here are four practical strategies that people can adopt to become more ethical consumers in their journey towards veganism:
Reduce the volume of all foods we consume daily. Although this strategy is not about directly cutting meat and dairy intake, it offers a way we can indirectly reduce intake by simply consuming less food.
Ironically, some of us even consume extra food to fuel intense workout programs or exercise boot camps. Why not achieve similar health outcomes by simply having a lighter lunch or following a simpler exercise regime?
Choose ethical food. There has been a marked increase in the availability of “credence foods”. This includes plant-based, vegan options, but also animal-based products with higher welfare standards.
The strategy of choosing credence food decreases our demand from factory farms and moves us to a more ethical position.
For instance, we can select pastured eggs over battery or barn eggs, or organic, free-range meat products over cheaper, factory-farmed products. While credence products are more expensive, they become more affordable when we reduce animal products in our diets.
Become a vegetarian. Vegetarianism is essentially the midway point on the veganism journey – excluding meat consumption, but allowing dairy and eggs. This is a particularly good option for many people who still struggle to find worthy cheese substitutes.
Nevertheless, vegetarianism alone will not solve our environmental concerns, nor alleviate animal suffering.
Bring some vegan into your life. Some of us associate adopting veganism with a leap of faith, and need more confidence before committing fully to its doctrine. We can shift toward a vegan diet by weaving it partially into our lives – in other words, becoming “part-time vegans”.
For instance, we can choose one or two of our daily meals to be vegan and then eat whatever we want for the rest (aligning with Mark Bittman’s “vegan before 6pm” idea), or participate in the “veganuary” or “Meatless Monday” programs.
No matter which strategy we choose, the act of opting for a strategy is in itself a huge step forward. Why not start by throwing a veggie pattie on the barbie this Australia Day?

Town Renames Post Office To Honor NJ Marine
WESTWOOD, N.J. (WCBS 880/AP) – A Bergen County town renamed its post office in honor of a fallen Marine who grew up in the community.
Postal officials and political leaders attended the 11 a.m. ceremony Saturday to rename the Westwood Post Office for Marine Sgt. Christopher R. Hrbek, who was killed in Afghanistan in January.
Hrbek stepped on an improvised explosive device in Helmand Province.
The 25-year-old graduate of Westwood High School previously served three tours of duty in Iraq. “Sergeant Hrbek was, had been a volunteer fireman in Westwood for nine years,” a worker from the U.S. Postal Service said.
U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett sponsored the legislation to honor Hrbek and President Obama signed it in June.

One plant species which provides a shining example of an inherent naturally occurring polypharmaceutical effect which occurs both within the single plant species and when the plant species is used in complex with another, is the wonderful Salix alba, our original inspiration for aspirin, which some literature has even hilariously and perhaps preposterously referred to Willow Tree as the “vegetable aspirin” (2). Firstly, it had been assumed hitherto in the scientific culture that the efficacy of orally delivered aqueous Willow Bark extracts was purely a result of salicin and its metabolic derivatives, however, it was shown in clinical trials and pharmacological studies that “the fraction of total salicin [in aqueous willow bark extract] cannot satisfactorily explain the clinical efficacy of willow bark. In addition, salicins and their metabolites lack the acetylating potential of ASA and must therefore possess a different mechanism of action.” (3) Experimental models on fractions of aqueous Willow bark extract were all tested and all results pointed to the relevant contributions of the polyphenolic and flavonoid profile as significant players in the efficacy of Willow Bark aqueous extracts. It was concluded that “The single compounds or their combinations responsible for the [medicinal] effect [of aqueosus Willow Bark extract treatment] remain to be elucidated” (3).
Well to put it succinctly, the polypharmacy is simply another way of expressing the Aristotelian axiom that: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts". Polypharmacy is a complex phenomenon that often is objectively seen simply as the interaction of two or more drugs on a system. Subjectively, I believe it is a misunderstood anomaly within western medicine, yet a nearly inseparable aspect of eastern and traditional medicines like Ayurveda and Alchemy. It is surrounded by other key misnomers in popular plant medicine culture such as “entourage effect” and “matrix effect”. What these names attempt to define are the typically unexpected consequences of chemical, pharmacological, and social systems when two or more integers (chemical compounds in our case) are participating in an exchange of energy and information (having a chemical or pharmacological reaction) together. Chemically, this means when two atoms or compounds create an effect in reality which is significantly different from the effect of either individual substance. Polypharmacy is often considered as an unintended side effect when mixtures of compounds have reactions together or upon another system. However, in non-materialist cultures, these affects are often taken advantage of in the form of whole plant material based medicines and remedies composed from multiple plants, thus typically constituting possibly thousands of different compounds.
An entourage effect can be considered a cult like sentiment in some plant medicine cultures that states plant medicines and preparations which are constituted from a more complete spectrum of plant constituents, have a sort of heightened phenomenologically obvious experiential effect than do chemical isolates or partitions of the same plant species. This idea suggests that a plants concert of bioactive principles have an inherent synergy that evolved them to be causally positively negentropically related to the human being. This is in contrast to the notion that a plants assortment of active principles have no inherent synergy, relationship or inter-connection to the human. A plant through this perspective is often reduced down via the perspective suggesting that a plants only inherent functions lie in the evolutionary need to multiply and adapt to its ecological pressures. This suggests that the function of a plant medicine may only be understood by analyzing its individuated particle-based constituents. I would like to take the opportunity to explain my theory on where this rift in perspective has come from and to support evidence for the hypothesis that medicinal plants have coevolved with humans to exhibit a collective chemical synergy that is far greater than any one of its individual parts.
This is actually a split in perspective that goes back hundreds of years and is deeply rooted to the foundational scientific paradigms put forth by the forefathers of this institution. That perspective is that one put forth by Galileo Galilee himself who suggested the universe operates like a big mechanical clock. The mechanical universe he called it. That out there in the physical reality, the face of the big clock, there is a manifestation of form and function that is physically causally linked by underlying operations found within its physical constitution. So thus, any effect perceived in reality can always be explained by the interaction of its various parts. This idea greatly inspired Isaac Newton who distilled this concept down to the first law of Newtonian mechanics, which states Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless an outside force acts upon them. This kind of thinking birthed the materialist, reductionist, deterministic empiricist viewpoint that ultimate knowledge can be attained from enquiry to the physical nature of objects interacting with each other.
This theory has persisted to this day due to its exemplary explanatory power, however with simple experimentation, Newton actually falsified some his own precepts he set out with. Newton wrote in letters to his peers “you sometimes speak of gravity as essential & inherent to matter: pray do not ascribe that notion to me, for ye cause of gravity is what I do not pretend to know, & therefore would take more time to consider of it.” He left this planet with the mystery still wide open, “Gravity must be caused by an agent [acting] consta[ntl]y according to certain laws, but whether this agent be material or immaterial is a question I have left to the consideration of my readers.” (1) And again, centuries later modern physicists the likes of Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, Bohm, Shroedinger, John Wheeler and many others came to the same conclusions with quantum physics. Seemingly non-physical forces have causal engagement with physical systems. Quantum entanglement and the double-slit experiments led to Einsteins famous saying of that “spooky action at a distance”. Spooky because it breaks Newtons first law of physics. However, the continual attachment to the fruits of this perspective led to the commonly held belief that the best technical explanations we have for reality, including its plant and human constituents, are atomic, particle, fundamentally material conceptions and interactions. However experimentation indicates otherwise.
I believe that this ‘spooky action in the distance’ is that root cause of the polypharmaceutical effect. Perhaps more aptly said, the inherent relationships between man and nature. Polypharmacy, entourage, matrix effects, all suggests that matters holistic properties and interrelationship with other matters cannot be fully comprehended when analyzed from its individual constituents. Matter/s must be taken as a whole in relativity to its parts before coming to understanding any organic composites’ natural interaction with another organic composites. This is why I feel polypharmacy is considered some kind of unpredictable anomalous effect rather than an intended consequence of calculated combinations of compounds and collections of compounds that are inherently interrelated and synergetic. Due to this we often are led to both negative and anomalous effects from certain plant materials, among other physical paradoxes, but likewise unexpected but pleasant discoveries of apparent synchronicities within the natural world when these synergies are wandered upon. That’s my theory anyways and Im sticking to it!
Salix alba, commonly known as the White Willow, is a tree species that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. The bark of the white willow contains a full spectrum of medicinal compounds, including salicylic acid which is a natural compound that has been shown to have a range of beneficial effects on human health, flavonids, tannins, polyphenols which carry therpeutic affects and essential nutritional minerals which are vital for long term health, longevity, and alchemical immortality.
One of the most significant benefits of salicylic acid in the white willow bark is its ability to reduce pain and inflammation. This compound works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing inflammation in the body. As a result, the use of white willow bark extract has been shown to be effective in relieving a range of conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps, and osteoarthritis.
Salicylic acid, Polyphenols and flavonoids – One of the simplest medicinal compounds, and an alcohol group awAy from another good compound benzoic acid, salicylic acid is composed of a phenolic benzene ring with a carboxyl group on it. Interestingly enough, a benzene ring alone is carcinogenic, but the simple alcohol carboxyl addition provides not only bioactivity and availability, but a wide range of pharmacological effects from skin and hair care to various pain treatments (3). Willow bark contains up to 20% flavonoids and condensed tannins. “Typical representatives of the flavonoids are glucosides of naringenin, isosalipurpuroside or eriodictyol . Other polyphenols also form a major fraction in aqueous extracts from willow bark: recently the flavan-3-ols catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin, catechin-3-O-(1- hydroxy-6-oxo-2-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid)-ester, the dimeric procyanidins B1, B3 and the trimeric procyanidins epicatechin-(4β8)-catechin-(4α8)-catechin and epicatechin-(4β8)-epicatechin-(4β8)-catechin were isolated from the bark of S. purpurea” (3). All of these compounds are generated via the famous shikimate/phenylpropanoid pathway responsible for polyphenols and flavonoids. Aqueous Willow bark extracts have further known to have a number of therpeutic, medicinal and pharmacologic mechanisms: Inhibition of enzymes of arachidonic acid metabolism in human cells, dose dependent ihibition of gene expression of mediators of inflammation, and the antioxidative potential of polyphenols mediated free radical processes. “Polyphenols such as flavonoids and proanthocyanidins also seem to contribute to effects of willow bark hitherto not used therapeutically, such as antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing activity in cancer cells” (3).
More research is needed to understand salicyclic acids far reaching pharmacological effects, but we know that one of its key actions is known to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis which is critical in the inflammation response. As the matrix/entourage/polypharmaceutical/Jungian synchronicity/spooky-action-in-the-plants effect would play out, the flavonoid and polyphenolic portion likewise mediate inflammation by a ‘multidirectional’ antioxidizing affects.
All of these compounds are readily identifiable via GC-MS.
It is also worth mentioning the strong synergism between Coffee and Willow Bark aqueous extracts. Proposed mixtures could be used in prophylaxis and oxidatively linked diseases as globally (widely distributed through the body) antioxidizing compounds. “It has been found that the biologically active compounds contained in the analyzed raw materials interact with each other, thus affecting their activity.”It was noted the thermal stability and hydrophilicity of salicilins further justified its use in coffee. “Obtained results indicate that extracts from bark tested Salixgenotypes as an ingredient in coffee beverages can provide health promoting benefits to the consumers; however, this issue requires further study” (4). I would further like to test the interactions with different teas!
Liberation – The compound salicin which is the primary constituent of the white willow bark is liberated from the tree when it is extracted from the bark into an aqueous decoction (also known as tea). When this tea is consumed the compound enters the stomach and intestine where it is metabolized through a “glycon hydrolysis and oxidation of the benzyl carbon” reaction. It is then absorbed into the blood stream in its pharmacologically active form, salicylic acid (1)
Metabolism – There is further metabolism of salicylic acid in the kidney and liver where it can form an ether or ester bond by conjugation with glycine to form salicyluric acid and salicylacyl glucuronide (1). These compounds are watersoluyble and can be excreted through the urine
Distribution – Once it is metabolized from the stomach it is circulated through the bloodstream and can be delivered to various organs
Therpeutic Index - Therapeutic drug levels for aspirin are 150 to 300 mcg/mL (salicylate) (2)
Toxic Levels - Greater than 300 mcg/mL (2)
Commonly liberated simply through eating, as this is a flavonoid found in many foodstuffs and medicinal plants, it is poorly absorbed into the gut but has a larger bioavailability orally. The oral bioavailability (sublingual) of naringenin is around 15%, and only low amounts are absorbed in the human gastrointestinal tract due to its low solubility (3)
Absorpton – Naringenin is absorbed through the gut wall from oral administration. Its metabolites are glucurono- and sulfoconjugated derivatives of naringenin. (3)
Metabolism – Little is known about the metabolism of naringinen in humans
Distribution – “Naringin and naringenin are distributed in the lungs, trachea, gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys In the intestinal and liver cells. Naringin and naringenin undergo phase I (oxidation or demethylation by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases) and phase II (glucuronidation, sulfation or methylation) metabolism” (3)(4)
Excretion – “Excretion is mainly through urine, and some metabolites are found also in feces.” (4)
Toxicity - naringin concentrations >200 μg/mL are toxic and may lead to cell death (Zhang et al. Citation2009).
The use of white willow bark extract is also safe and non-toxic due to the presence of natural salicylic acid. Unlike synthetic salicylic acid, which can cause gastrointestinal irritation and other side effects when used in high doses, the natural form found in white willow bark is gentle on the stomach and liver.
While the bark of Salix alba (white willow) is primarily known for its medicinal properties, it also contains a number of naturally occurring mineral salts that also have nutritional benefits. Some of the mineral salts that can be found in the bark of Salix alba include:
It is important to note that the exact composition of mineral salts in the bark of Salix alba may vary depending on factors such as soil composition, climate, and the age of the tree. Nonetheless, these mineral salts play an important role in maintaining overall health and wellbeing.
Spagyric plant medicine treates the source of disease becasue they containe a naturally balanced and ratioed deposit of minerals that are readily bioavailable to bring balance back to the essential mineral profile of every human. Click here to learn more about essential minerals.
In addition to salicylic acid, the white willow bark contains a full spectrum of medicinal compounds that work synergistically to produce a range of health benefits. These include flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds work together to enhance the effectiveness of salicylic acid and provide additional health benefits such as improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of cancer. Similarly, the presence of nutritional mineral salts catalyze intra tincture reactions which lend to the enhanced bioavailbility of the spectrum of medicinal compounds. These essential mineral salts are further therpeutic as all plants act as natural deposits of macro and micro nutrients which are essential for human metabolic health and are likewise especially retained in spagyric plant medicine. Mineral balance is a fundamental tenet to health and vitality and contributes significantly to the overall medicinal value of spagyric tinctures.
In the doctrine of signatures, plants were believed to have physical characteristics that indicated their potential medicinal uses. Similarly, in the alchemical tradition, plants were associated with specific planetary correspondences based on their physical and metaphysical properties.
The white willow (Salix alba) was traditionally associated with the planet Mars in both the doctrine of signatures and the alchemical tradition. This is because the tree's bark is astringent, bitter, and cooling, which were thought to correspond to Mars' qualities of strength, courage, and discipline. The white willow was often used to treat conditions such as fever, inflammation, and pain, which were also associated with Mars.
In addition to its association with Mars, the white willow was also thought to have lunar correspondences due to its ability to grow in damp, watery environments. Its flexible branches were also associated with the moon's fluid, changeable nature. As a result, the white willow was sometimes used in lunar rituals and associated with the goddess of the moon.
It is important to note that while white willow bark extract is generally safe and non-toxic, it should still be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It may interact with certain medications, and high doses may cause gastrointestinal upset or other side effects. However, when used appropriately, white willow bark extract can be a safe and effective natural remedy for a range of health conditions.

What is a floor plan?
A floor plan is a detailed image or rendering that shows the relationship between each property’s space and room. It is a fantastic tool to help potential buyers visualize the property in detail and understand how people will move from one area of the property to another area.
Platforms like Styldod can help you create house floor plans that makes it easy to showcase the true potential of any property as it puts all aspects into perspective in terms of size and spatial orientation.
Importance of floor plans – what can they help with?
Transform ideas into visuals
Many real estate agents believe that a lack of a well-crafted floor plan is a significant barrier to sales. Without a house plan, the buyer cannot easily imagine the space’s arrangement and the size of the house. Many buyers will miss lists that don’t include floor plans of the house, and they are less likely to call to arrange tours.
Understand spatial relationships
Additionally, buyers may not be able to judge whether the layout meets their needs. For example, a two-story house would not work well for a family where a person is physically disabled and cannot easily navigate his steps. Families with young children want their bedrooms to be close to kindergarten to supervise their young children easily.
If you’re going to have fun, you want a house with a large patio or patio and an open kitchen in the center—decks and an open-plan and centrally situated kitchen.
Determine floor area easily
Floor plans serve as a guide for each group of workers in the workplace. Because it provides details about the layout and the size and size of each room, it’s easier for the team to measure accurately to ensure everything is placed where it’s supposed to be.
Streamline the construction process
The main purpose of a floor plan is to ensure that the construction does not deviate from the approved plan. Floor plans serve as a guide for each group of workers in the workplace. Because it provides details about the layout, as well as the size and size of each room, it’s easier for the team to measure accurately to make sure everything is placed where it’s supposed to be.
Help in selecting materials
With visual drawings created by 2D or 3D floor plans, architects and homeowners can track the various materials to choose from for each room. Therefore, they can schedule a visit to a home center or shop to select ingredients and order them.
Help in communicating with the interior designer
The floor plan’s primary purpose is to ensure that the structure does not deviate from the approved plan. It also helps interior designers get a clearer picture of the house’s interior to make recommendations on ideal themes and materials for the home.
The internal design process can start before the house is finished, as floor plans provide an idea of the amount of natural light, ventilation, and traffic in the area that interior designers can use to find solutions that use the available space effectively.
Select the right furniture
One of the challenges in choosing furniture for a room is making sure it’s a perfect size – not too big or too small. Since floor plans are made to scale, it’s easy to measure each area and choose furniture with the correct dimensions to make sure the room doesn’t look cramped or empty.
With 3D visualization software, you can see the house in the chosen design style, making it easier to buy furniture that matches your theme.

Reading the Tree's Log
Dr. Alex L. Shigo doing an autopsy.
Trees keep a very accurate log of all events that affect their lives The log is kept in the wood, and to read that log you must under stand the simple language of tree anatomy. Trees respond to the ever changing environment, and to injuries and infections. Because pruning and removing trees are major activities of most tree companies. arborists have many opportunities to autopsy a tree and read its log.
Autopsy, which comes from the Greek word autopsia, means to see for yourself. It is often mistaken for the word for necropsy, which means the study of the dead. The usefulness of an autopsy depends on knowing where to look, what to look for, and the meaning of what you see. You must be able to see details fast. We have a special name for people who can see fast. We call them lucky!
Here is check list for some major features to look for and record when reading the tree's log.
1. Growth increments - tree age, patterns of wide or narrow increments, eccentric growth patterns, date when increments began to increase or decrease in width, colors.
2. Wood type - diffuse-porous, semi-ring porous, ring porous, conifer resinous, conifer non-resinous, tropical, monocot.
3. Energy reserves, I,KI to determine amount of starch and volume of wood with starch.
4. Wound history - date of wounds to the year, or, in some cases, the week they were inflicted.
5. Branch history - when branches died. If pruned, how they were pruned and the defect associated with the branches.
6. Cracks - boundaries from wounds, ring shakes, radial cracks, cracks in bark only, cracks in wood and bark, wetwood in cracks.
7. Animal wounds - bird peck wounds and ring shakes, squirrel wounds, other animal wounds.
8. Closure patterns of wounds - ram's horns, cracks, woundwood ribs, discolored wood associated with cracks.
9. Discolored wood and wetwood - patterns of infected wood, CODIT walls, callus, odors, internal checking patterns.
10. Decayed wood - white rot, brown rot, zone lines in rotted wood, CODIT walls, sporophores.
11. Resin ducts - traumatic ducts in non-resinous conifers.
12. Tyloses - traumatic tyloses in wood that does not normally form them.
13. Insects - galleries, in bark, in bark and wood, insect, ants, termites; galleries clean or full of frass.
14. Reaction wood - compression wood in conifers. (You cannot see tension wood.)
15. Injection and implant wounds - separate columns of discolored wood, or columns coalescing.
As you learn more about tree anatomy, many other details of the tree's log will become obvious. | <urn:uuid:c243b430-2f6e-4b05-911c-54532e1e6d6c> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.treehelp.com/dr-alex-shigo-tree-autopsy/ | 2014-03-07T06:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999636222/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060716-00041-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926283 | 629 |

Do you know about CanAsia Immigration Consulting Services Ltd?
CanAsia Immigration Consulting Services Ltd. is an immigration and education settlement organisation. CanAsia specialises in immigration and education services and they claim to be the world’s largest immigration company.
CanAsia’s main office is in Vancouver but they have affiliated offices in major cities in India, 30 according to CanAsia.
The company was established in 1996 and once again, CanAsia claims to be the most successful, credible immigration company of its kind. CanAsia has over 15 years of experience.
There is a message from the Managing Director, but there is no mention of what the Managing Director’s name is, there is an image of the Managing Director.
There is a seal for the ICCRC with an RCIC number displayed there, R407671, but there is no name provided. We searched on the ICCRC’s website and found that the number belongs to Rupinder Batth.
Some of the other faults that we found with the website is the Quick Links option, they don’t work. We clicked on each of them and none of them worked. It redirects you to the homepage.
The information provided about studying in Canada is helpful and interesting. One thing that we did find interesting is the point that CanAsia made about studying in Canada being “inexpensive”, which it is not. In many articles, people are told to prepare for the expenses of studying at a Canadian college.
There is also a list of Canadian, Australian and New Zealand universities for you to choose from. There are however no US universities for you to choose from. We feel that this website may be directed a little too much around Canadian immigration and Canadian universities.
There are social media links from the website for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
The Facebook account was created in 2010 and has over 3700 likes. There are regular posts to the page, with a few videos posted of people getting their visas. Once again we felt as though the posts were directed a little too much towards Canadian immigration and studying in Canada.
CanAsia Immigration Consultancy Services Ltd. seems to be a trustworthy immigration company, there are video testimonials available on their Facebook page. This is helpful because the testimonials on the website don’t work.
We feel that if CanAsia fixed a few of these glitches it would help their credibility. Adding in the important online documents would also help their possible clients when on their website.
If you have used CanAsia Immigration Consultancy Services Ltd. please leave a comment below and tell us about your experience.
- There is a registered RCIC agent

Shield [Mike F]
Warforged Stormheart Warden
[Before the Mourning]
Shield was created in Making (Cyre) only 9 days before the Mourning. He was purchased by the Gouldin family, and assigned to Rowander as his bodyguard.
He has quickly realized that he has a strange magnetic/electrical power buried in his chest. His basic warforged combat training doesn’t cover it, and he’s in the process of discovering how it works.
[After the Mourning]
Even after gaining his freedom from the Treaty of Thronehold, Shield can’t think of another purpose but to follow around Rowander and Rowena and protect them. | <urn:uuid:689b49fc-4c96-4151-86c1-0b69f980cc9c> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://gehyforeberron.obsidianportal.com/characters/75205 | 2017-06-26T08:34:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320695.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626083037-20170626103037-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.97363 | 146 |
(PRWEB) February 9, 2005
Recently, there has been much mention of methane being found on Saturn's moon Titan as well as on the planet Mars. What is important about this finding is that the methane could either have been created by biogenic (living) sources such as bacteria or by abiogenic (non-living) sources such as volcanoes. Either source has its very own significant scientific importance. If the methane is biogenic, it would prove that there is life somewhere else besides on earth. If the methane is abiogenic, it would prove that methane can come from something non-living instead of living. Thus, any outcome from Titan and/or Mars is important.
Methane is pure natural gas. Methane (CH4) is a hydrocarbon (hydrogen and carbon) compound with four hydrogen (H) atoms that are attached to one carbon (C) atom. It is a colorless, odorless and flammable gas that burns with a blue flame. It is the simplest, lightest, cleanest and most abundant hydrocarbon found in nature. It is also the only hydrocarbon that is a renewable resource when it is biogenically (naturally) made by methanogenic (methane producing) bacteria that decompose organic matter under anaerobic (oxygenless) conditions.
Besides natural gas, methane is found in biogas, swamps, coalbeds, landfills, hydrates, shales and sandstones. Reserves of methane hydrates alone account for a very great and astounding 400,000,000,000,000,000,000* cubic feet of methane gas worldwide compared to reserves of 5,000,000,000,000,000* cubic feet of natural gas worldwide (*U.S.D.O.E.). Methane (CH4) is also the main source of commercial hydrogen production since it contains twice as many hydrogen atoms per molecule than water (H2O). Methane is also being used in vehicles for fuel as compressed natural gas (CNG) and as liquefied natural gas (LNG) since it burns cleanly only producing carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). It is also being used for making low sulfur synthetic fuels through the process of liquefaction (changing a gas into a liquid). Methane is an important feedstock in the petrochemical industry for making organic chemicals such as methanol (CH3OH), formaldehyde (CH2O), nitromethane (CH3NO2), chloroform (CH3Cl), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), etc.
Given all of the above facts, methane can only increase in importance since many believe that methane is one of the most practical, flexible and viable alternative fuels.

Knowledge Adventure’s Reading Blaster Ages 5-7
This program is designed to help first grade students develop strong reading, word building, and comprehension skills in a non-threatening, interactive environment. Kids join Galactic Commander Blaster and his pal Mel as they soar off to the Planet of Lost Things to return missing items, such as socks and balloons, to children throughout the galaxy. To win a game, you must achieve mastery. Mastery means you have scored 85% out of a possible 100% of points available in the game. After successfully completing reading activities and word games to earn five keys to unlock the Lost and Found room, kids can play a game to recover the lost items. When you return the lost things to their owners, you’ll receive thank-you “B-Mails” from your new friends.
Reading Blaster begins its journey with the option of listening to an introduction or launching directly into the program. The icons used on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen are very helpful. They allow you to change the level of play, watch your progress on the meter as you earn a key, see the total number of keys you have collected, seek help, or return to the main menu. Simple directions are given on how to play the game at the beginning of each activity. The arrow keys (right, left, up and down) are used to manipulate the activity pieces and to play the game after earning a key.
Reading Blaster contains five different learning activities with five different levels of play difficulty. After you have mastered one level, you will automatically be bumped up to the next level. You can also change levels whenever the Level button is on the toolbar.
The Balloon Blowout activity lets kids unscramble and rearrange balloons to spell a word, make a complex sentence with punctuation, or create a story that makes sense.
In the Lost Your Marbles room, kids chomp marbles bearing words that fit in a category to make a snake of eight marbles. Word recognition of simple thematic groups such as number words, color words, toys and pets are used. Students progress from simple to complex groups of nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Picture This checks reading comprehension. Kids read or have the directions read aloud, and place stickers in the proper place to make a poster. They must then choose a title to go with their poster. This part of the program builds from three simple directions to five complex directions using context clues.
A Treasure Room is set up for each user. The Message Board (word processor) lets kids create a story, use stamps, look up words in the dictionary, and print out their work. Another section allows students or the teacher to choose a level and a list of words, and print a word search puzzle. The Story Corner gives the student a choice of reading a story on his or her own, or having it read aloud, as well as printing out the story to take home. The Star Chart maps the mastery level of each game. Print out this chart to track a child’s progress to share with parents. When the signal is on the B-Mail, it means you have a message from someone. Here at B-Mail you can also send mail to one of your pals.
Reading Blaster is a well-designed, easy-to-navigate program. This program, which requires quick thinking, fast reflexes, and good hand-eye coordination, appeals to children who enjoy arcade-style games. Kid reviewers especially enjoyed the creative graphics and sound effects. The educational content is on target with skills appropriate for this age and grade level, and fits nicely into the curriculum. It begins at a very simple level, stressing letter sounds and recognition, and moves the player up through reading comprehension. Working through the software will help strengthen and expand basic reading skills. Notable features include the ability to choose skill levels of particular reading exercises, and to track progress. The sound effects and graphics, the educational content, the ease of navigation, and a kids-oriented theme make this software great motivation for learning and practicing reading.

O.K. This is my situation. I have SBC (now AT&T) DSL with a Westell WireSpeed Modem connected to an SMC Barricade Router. My Computer (Windows XP Pro) and 2 other Computers (Also XP Pro) are connected to the Router. Now what I wish to do is connect a Wireless Router that was given to me to the SMC Barricade so I can connect my Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop wirelessly to my existing connection. No, I don't want to go full wireless, so don't suggest it. The wireless Router is an 802.11b or g D-Link or Netgear, I don't remember which one it is and I am at work so I can't look at the box. I will post the correct info when I get home. Anyway I would like if someone could/would give me a step by step on how to set this up. Also I will need to put the address (MAC address I think is what I mean) of the Wireless Router into the SMC cause I have it set to only connect the addresses I have listed. If that makes sense. Again I will double check all this when I get home later this evening. Thanks. | <urn:uuid:529cb40b-29d5-4bbd-b7b7-098056c08f23> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.osnn.net/threads/connecting-wireless-router-to-smc-wired-router.91893/ | 2017-02-24T16:18:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171620.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00618-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963268 | 255 |
What to Know Before You Go Huckleberry Picking in Montana
Confession: I'm born and raised in Missoula and I've never been huckleberry picking. I've certainly consumed my share of huckleberries, and all of my in-laws seem to love picking them by the gallons. But when we are all up at the lake together, and there's a choice of being in the lake/laying in the sun, or going out into the woods in 90 degree scorching heat to pick berries, call me crazy, but I've never chosen the latter. Thank Grohl for my in-laws though, Mom/aunts/sisters/brothers all make a mean Huckleberry Buckle!
A few things to know before you go huckleberry picking. They ripen mid to late summer, so August is the best month to go. The Flathead is prime huckleberry country, some consider their picking spots to be the equivalent to their best fishing spot, so I won't tell you exactly where to go. But I can tell you that you will find success near Glacier Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort, and the Big Fork/Swan Lake area.
Remember that huckleberries only grow in the wild, so if you choose to go picking, you are battling everything from bears to birds for the delicious fruit. Be bear aware and prepared to encounter some animals. Long sleeves and pants are also recommended to avoid getting scratched up by bushes and branches, don't forget the sunscreen and a large brimmed hat, and most importantly, a few buckets to gather your purple gold. If your quest is successful and you end up with a lot of berries, be sure to bag and freeze them as they have a very short shelf life. And also be prepared to become everyone's best friend as word will spread that you have huckleberries.
If you'd rather stay out of the wild and keep your buns roasting on the dock, you may be able to find huckleberries at Farmer's Markets, roadside stands or specialty stores across Western Montana, if you're lucky. Or, if you're just visiting and absolutely have to taste what Montanans are so crazy about, hit up Big Dipper Ice Cream for a scoop or 3 of absolute heaven. | <urn:uuid:317a8201-c94e-4f95-983c-2b07045b3ca3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kmhk.com/what-to-know-before-you-go-huckleberry-picking-in-montana-2/ | 2023-09-28T11:22:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510387.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928095004-20230928125004-00838.warc.gz | en | 0.962724 | 467 |
The source code
The project described in this article is hosted on mform.codeplex.com.
You will find the most recent version (the project is recently updated) here.
It is most likely that you have seen
probably the best beer in the World
commercial. Less chances are that you have heard of the
MForm webcontrols. And if you are like me a web developer struggling with
writing web forms that collect and process loads of data, you surely might find
the described controls interesting.
The MForm webcontrols project has been started in the IT departament of Bank Millennium, Poland, a place where I work. It has been recently published under the Microsoft public license.
If you have ever applied for a loan or a mortgage, you already know that banks want to know as much as possible about their clients to minimize the risk of giving too much money to a person that cannot afford returning it in the future. All of this data is filled in by bank consultants into bank's intranet application during a meeting with the client.
The duty of a bank IT developer is then to:
- define the data contract (a data structure and data restrictions) for the information that the business department wants to collect;
- create a web form (or several web forms) that collects the data according to the data contract;
- validate the fields in the web form against data restrictions;
- combine the data from the fields into the data structure;
Finally the data is sent somewhere else, where it is used to make a decision about the client.
What struck me, was that all of these tasks looked like they could be made at least partially automatically. The forms could be generated directly from the data contract (in our case the data contract was defined using XML schema), the validations (at least those basic ones as checking field requirement, its maximal length, matching a pattern or maximal value) could be also taken from the data contract, finally the data combining (creating an output XML instead of a collection of fields) could be done automatically.
Still, the solution had to be extensible enough to:
- allow modifying the created forms visually after the generation;
- allow adding custom business validations that would work the same way data validations work;
- make the process of creating the forms as easy as possible, so that even an unexperienced developer could prepare at least a web form sketch;
- be efficient and use Ajax to eliminate unnecessary PostBacks;
- use generic ASP.NET controls and solutions wherever possible; | <urn:uuid:86f63ee9-f691-4721-bb6d-ab0fa6f03237> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/net_asp/controls/article.php/c16301/An-Introduction-to-the-MForm-Web-Controls.htm | 2016-06-27T11:15:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783395992.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154955-00033-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951481 | 529 |
This is the ninth post in my Summer Learning Series. These are short posts with tools, tips and resources for you to try something new this summer or something you can take to the classroom in the Fall. First was Collaborative Learning With Edmodo and then we followed up with Learning With Hashtags. Then we looked at TED Talks. We moved on to Twitter chats. Then our last post looked at some pretty neat things you can do with YouTube. Then we took a look at Diigo and how to curate the information you are finding this summer. Then we examined the things to consider if you want to use Twitter in your classroom or your school in the coming school year. In the last post we examined a tool I can't live without, Evernote. Now let see how we can automate the internet and take many of the tools in the Summer Learning Series to the next level with If This, Then That.
Let's face it. The easier and more automated I can make certain things I do, the better off I am. While I haven't perfected my "Get Out Of Bed, Dress Me, Make Me Bacon" machine...yet, I have found a site that puts the power of the Internet to work for me.
If This, Than That (or IFTTT) is a powerful website where you set up triggers and recipes to do tasks for you. You connect IFTTT to your favorite web tools like Twitter, Facebook, Pocket, Foursquare, etc and set up statements that if this happens, than that should happen.
It starts with the If This:
Here, you decide if something happens. Maybe you check in on Foursquare, take a picture with Instagram, an RSS feee is updated, you get an email, the list goes on and on and on.
I am going to create one for the weather. There are all sorts of triggers for every tool. For the weather it is things like sunrise, if it is going to rain, if the temperature is rising or falling, etc. For this example I picked when the current condition changes to rain.
Then you decide what should happen:
Now you have several options, some of which make sense, like triggering an email or sending a text, while others don't make much sense like updating your Facebook status or sending an update via RSS. You can make some interesting combinations.
Once set up, you are good to go. You sit back and wait for the triggers to fire and see what happens.
I have several recipes I use. One takes my favorites from Twitter and sends them to a notebook in Evernote. Another copies the pictures I take on Instagram and Facebook and sends them to folders in Dropbox. A favorite is a daily email of all the free books available from Amazon on the Kindle. There literally 1000's of combinations.
I use a bunch of these. The weather trigger is one of my favorites. Every morning I get a text that tells me what the weather is like and will be like for the day. I also use the Twitter favorites to Evernote recipe to save my favorites. Another Twitter one I use is every time I create a Bit.ly link (either in Twitter or outside of Twitter) it gets backed up to a Google Doc with the date and title of the link. I also back up my pictures shared on Instagram and Facebook to Dropbox and more. There are tons of uses that you can really do a lot with.
One of the best parts of IFTTT is the sharing. You can share your recipes you create with the world and use those created by others. The gallery there is a great place to start as newbie because the work is done for you. Then you can experiment with creating your own.
So be like me. Let the Internet do the heavy lifting for you and check out If This, Then That.
Do you use IFTT? Have a favorite recipe you use? Share it below!

10/50 Vegetation Clearing Rule
There has been a recent introduction by the NSW Government in conjunction with the NSW Rural Fire Service of the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Code of Practice.
The new laws allow people in a designated 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Entitlement Area to clear trees on their property within 10 metres of a home, without seeking approval. You can check here if you are in a 10/50 designated bushfire zone.
The new rule only applies to your property. You may not clear neighbouring property without that property owner’s consent. There may be other restrictions that apply, such as if your property is on a slope, or there are items of Aboriginal or cultural significance in the area. Read more about the code and these restrictions on the NSW Rural Fire Service website.

Grilled Artichokes with Creamy Butter Dip
From Country Living
Grilled artichokes and dip make a simple but special appetizer for your summer cookout.
- 1 lemon, halved
- 4 large artichokes, about 3 pounds
- 1/4 cup(s) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground pepper
- 1/4 cup(s) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup(s) mayonnaise
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) ground red pepper
- Prepare the artichokes: Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon half into it. Remove the stems from the artichokes, cut the pointy tips off the outer leaves, and cut 3/4 inch off the top. Rub all cut areas with the remaining lemon half. As you work, place each trimmed artichoke into the bowl of lemon water until ready to steam.
- Steam the artichokes: Drain the artichokes and place, stem side up, in a steamer basket over about 1 inch of boiling water and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender -- about 30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- Grill the artichokes: Heat the grill to medium. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inner pink leaves and the fuzzy choke. Toss the cleaned artichokes with the oil, salt, and pepper and grill until golden -- 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Stir the remaining lemon juice, butter, mayonnaise, and red pepper together and serve as an accompanying dip.

Barbering is one of the oldest and most trusted specialties in the world of cosmetology. It is the only cosmetology career that caters specifically to the hair and skin care needs of men.
In a barber program, you can look forward to spending your time on techniques and procedures that are relevant to today's male clients. You will learn the basics of cutting and styling hair, including coloring, and the necessary safety and sanitation procedures. Some schools may even include courses in managing a small business in addition to your basic courses.
During your lab and salon hours, you will spend plenty of time working with barber supplies and developing your customer communication skills. When it comes to the barbering tools you will use, most schools provide the basic tools of the trade - scissors, clippers, and razors - and include the cost in the tuition.
Generally, barbering training requirements range from 1000 to 1,500 hours. On a full-time basis, this means spending between seven months and one year in a barber trade school. When you have completed your training requirements for your state, you can apply for your license.
To find out if a particular barbering program matches your unique interest and needs, request information from the school of interest. | <urn:uuid:381e9c43-777d-471b-9078-4827f53e1d1e> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.beautyschool.com/lp/index/barbering | 2017-06-23T22:30:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320201.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623220935-20170624000935-00322.warc.gz | en | 0.94821 | 262 |

With nothing to do but look out|the window at the neighbours.
- Bye, Jeff.|- No, Gunnison, I...
Lf you don't pull me out|of this swamp of boredom,
L'm gonna do something drastic.
- Like what?|- "Like what?" Get married.
Then l'll never be able to go anywhere.
lt's about time you got married,
Before you turn into|a lonesome and bitter, old man.
yeah, can't you just see me?
Rushing home to a hot apartment
To listen to the automatic laundry|and the electric dishwasher
And the garbage disposal|and the nagging wife.
Jeff, wives don't nag|any more, they discuss.
ls that so? Ls that so?
Maybe in the high-rent district|they discuss.
Ln my neighbourhood, they still nag.
Well, you know best.|I'll call you later.
yeah, have some good news|the next time, huh?
Good morning. I said, "Good morning!"
Oh, good morning.
Say, I wouldn't dig so deep|if I were you.
You're giving them far too much water.
Why don't you shut up?
I do declare.
State sentence|for a peeping tom,
Is six months in the workhouse.
Oh, hello, sweetheart.
They got no windows in the workhouse.
In the old days, they used to put|your eyes out with a red-hot poker.
Any of those bikini bombshells|you're always watching
Worth a red-hot poker?
We've become a race of Peeping Toms.
What people ought to do|is get outside their own house
And look in for a change.
Yes, sir. How's that for|a bit of homespun philosophy?
Reader's Digest, April 1939.
Well, I only quote from the best.
You don't have to take|my temperature this morning.
Quiet. See if you can break 100.
You know, I should have been|a gypsy fortune-teller
Instead of an insurance company nurse.
I got a nose for trouble.|Can smell it ten miles away.
You heard of that market crash in "29?|I predicted that.
Just how did you do that, Stella?
Oh, simple. I was nursing|a director of General Motors.
"Kidney ailment," they said.|"Nerves," I said.
Then I asked myself,
'What's General Motors|got to be nervous about?"
"Overproduction," I says. "Collapse."
When General Motors has to go|to the bathroom ten times a day,
The whole country's ready to let go.
You know, Stella,|in economics, a kidney ailment
Has no relationship to the stock market.
- None whatsoever.|- Crashed, didn't it?
I can smell trouble|right here in this apartment.
First you smash your leg,
Then you get|to looking out the window,
See things you shouldn't see.
I can see you in court now
Surrounded by a bunch of lawyers|in double-breasted suits.
You say, "Judge,|it was only a bit of innocent fun.
I love my neighbours, like a father."
And the judge says,|'Well, congratulations.
You've just given birth|to three years in Dannamora."
Right now, I'd welcome trouble.
You've got a hormone deficiency.
How can you tell from a thermometer?
Those bathing beauties|you've been watching
Haven't raised your temperature|one degree in a month.
Here we go.
One more week.
I think you're right.
I think there is gonna be|trouble around here.
I knew it.
Ooh. Do you ever heat that stuff?
Gives your|circulation something to fight.
- What kind of trouble?|- Lisa Fremont.
You kidding?|She's a beautiful, young girl,
And you're a reasonably|healthy young man.
- She expects me to marry her.|- That's normal.
- I don't want to.|- That's abnormal.
I'm just not ready for marriage.
Every man's ready for marriage|when the right girl comes along.
Lisa Fremont is the right girl|for any man with half a brain
Who can get one eye open.
- What did you do, have a fight?|- No.
- Father loading up the shotgun?|- What?
- Please, Stella.|- It's happened before, you know.
Some of the world's|happiest marriages have
Started "under the gun,'|as you might say.
- No, she's just not the girl for me.|- yeah, she's only perfect.
She's too perfect. She's too talented.
She's too beautiful.|She's too sophisticated.
She's too everything, but what I want.
Is what you want|something you can discuss?
What? It's very simple, Stella.
She belongs to that rarefied|atmosphere of Park Avenue:
Expensive restaurants|and literary cocktail parties.
People with sense|belong wherever they're put.
Can you imagine her tramping around|the world with a camera bum
Who never has more than|a week's salary in the bank?
If she was only ordinary.
You never gonna get married?
I'll probably get married|one of these days,
But when I do, it's gonna be|to someone who thinks of life
Not just as a new dress|and a lobster dinner
And the latest scandal.
I need a woman who's willing to...|Hold it.
Who's willing to go anywhere|and do anything and love it.
So the honest thing for me to do|is just call the whole thing off.
Let her find somebody else.
yeah, I can hear you now.
"Get out of my life,|you perfectly wonderful woman."
Look, Mr Jefferies,|I'm not an educated woman,
But I can tell you one thing.
When a man and a woman see|each other and like each other,
They ought to come together, wham,
Like a couple of taxis on Broadway
And not sit around analysing each other
Like two specimens in a bottle.
There's an intelligent way|to approach marriage.
Nothing has caused the human race|so much trouble as intelligence.
- No, we've progressed emotionally.|- Baloney.
Once it was see somebody,|get excited, get married.
Now, it's read a lot of books,
Fence with a lot of four-syllable|words, psychoanalyse each other
Until you can't tell the difference
Between a petting party|and a civil service exam.
People have different emotional levels -
When l married Myles, we were both|a couple of maladjusted misfits.
We are still maladjusted, and we|have loved every minute of it.
Well, that's fine, Stella.
Now, would you|fix me a sandwich, please?
Yes, I will. And I'll spread|a little common sense on the bread.
Lisa's loaded to her fingertips|with love for you.
I got two words of advice|for you: Marry her.
- She pay you much?|- Oh.
There you are.
- Here's the key.|- Thank you.
Well, if you want anything, just ring.
Got to carry you over the threshold.
How's your leg?
It hurts a little.
- And your stomach?|- Empty as a football.
And your love life?
Not too active.
Anything else bothering you?
Who are you?
Reading from top to bottom:
Is this the Lisa Fremont who|never wears the same dress twice?
Only because it's expected of her.
It's right off the Paris plane.
- Do you think it'll sell?|- That depends on the quote.
Let's see now.|There's the aeroplane ticket over,
Import duties, hidden taxes,
- Profit markup |- A steal at $1,100.
They ought to list that dress|on the stock exchange.
We sell a dozen a day|in this price range.
Who buys them, tax collectors?
Even if I had to pay,|it would be worth it.
- Just for the occasion.|- Why, is something big going on?
It's going on right here. It's a big night.
It's just an old|run-of-the-mill Wednesday.
The calendar's full of them.
It's opening night of the last depressing|week of L B Jefferies in a cast.
Well, I haven't noticed|a big demand for tickets.
That's because I bought out the house.
You know, this cigarette box|has seen better days.
I picked that up in Shanghai,|which has also seen better days.
It's cracked and you never use it.
It's too ornate.
I'm sending up a plain, flat,|silver one with your initials.
That's no way to spend|your hard-earned money.
I wanted to.
What would you think of|starting off with dinner at "21 "?
You have, perhaps,|an ambulance downstairs?
No, better than that: "21 ".
Thank you for waiting, Carl.|The kitchen's right there on the left.
I'll take the wine.
- Good evening, Mr Jefferies.|- Carl.
Just put everything|in the oven, Carl, on low.
- Let's open the wine now.|- Alright.
- It's a Montrachet.|- A great big glassful.
There's a corkscrew right over there.
Here, I'll do it.
- Big enough?|- yeah, they're fine.
I can't think of anything more|boring or tiresome
Than what you've been through|and the last week must be the hardest.
Alright. yeah, I want to get|this thing off and get moving.
Well, I'm going to make this|a week you'll never forget.
Just a minute, Carl.
- This will take care of the taxi.|- Thank you, Miss Fremont.
- Have a pleasant dinner, Mr Jefferies.|- Alright, Good night.
What a day I've had.
- Are you tired?|- Not a bit.
I was all morning in a meeting,
Then I had to dash to the Waldorf|for a quick drink with Madam Dufrene,
Who's just over from Paris|with some spy reports.
Then l had to go to "21" and have lunch|with the Harper's Bazaar people.
That's when I ordered dinner.
Then I had two fall showings|20 blocks apart.
Then I had to have a cocktail|with Leland and Slim Hayward.
We're trying to get his new show.
Then I had to dash back and change.
Well, now, tell me,|what was Mrs Hayward wearing?
- She looked wonderfully cool.|- She didn't, did she?
She had on the most divine|Italian hand-printed -
- Oh, Italian?|- Oh, you.
- Italian. Imagine.|- To think I planted three nice items
- In the columns about you today.|- You did?
- You can't buy that kind of publicity.|- I know.
Someday you may want to|open up a studio of your own here.
How would I run it from, say, Pakistan?
Isn't it time you came home?|You could pick your assignment.
- I wish there was one I wanted.|- Make the one you want.
- You mean leave the magazine?|- Yes.
- For what?|- For yourself and me.
I could get you a dozen|assignments tomorrow:
- Fashions, portraits.|-
- Now, don't laugh. I could do it.|- That's what I'm afraid of.
Can you see me driving down|to the fashion salon in a jeep
Wearing combat boots and a three-day|beard? Wouldn't that make a hit?
I could see you looking|very handsome and successful
In a dark blue, flannel suit.
Let's stop talking nonsense, shall we?
Guess I'd better|start setting up for dinner.
At least that's something|you'll never have to worry about.
You can see my apartment from here,|all the way up on 63rd Street?
No, not exactly,|but we have a little apartment here
That's probably as popular as yours.
You remember, of course,|Miss Torso, the ballet dancer?
She's like a queen bee|with her pick of the drones.
l'd say she's|doing a woman's hardest job.
Well, she picked the most|prosperous-looking one.
She's not in love with him...|Or any of them.
Oh, how can you tell that from here?
You said it resembled|my apartment, didn't you?
I hope they're cooked this time.
Where's that|wonderful music coming from?
Some songwriter over there|in the studio apartment.
He lives alone.
Probably had a very unhappy marriage.
Oh, it's enchanting.
It's almost as if it were|being written especially for us.
Hm. No wonder he's having|so much trouble with it.
At least you can't say|the dinner isn't right.
There can't be that much difference|between people and the way they live.
We all eat, talk, drink,|laugh, wear clothes.
Well, now look -
If you're saying all this because|you don't want to tell me the truth,
Because you're hiding something from|me, then maybe I can understand.
I'm not hiding anything. It's just that -
It doesn't make sense.
What's so different about it here|from there or anyplace you go
That one person couldn't live|in both places just as easily?
Some people can.|Now, if you'll just let me -
What is it but travelling from|one place to another taking pictures?
It's like being a tourist|on an endless vacation.
OK. That's your opinion.|You're entitled to it.
- Now, let me give you my side.|- It's ridiculous to say
That it can only be done by a special,|private little group of anointed people.
I made a simple statement,|a true statement,
But I can back it up if you'll just|shut up for a minute.
If your opinion is as rude as your|manner, I don't think I care to hear it.
Oh, come on now. Simmer down.
I can't fit in here. You can't fit in there.
According to you, people|should be born, live and die
- On the same spot!|- Shut up!
- Did you ever eat fish heads and rice?|- Of course not.
Well, you might have to|if you went with me.
Did you ever try to keep warm|in a C-54 at 15,000 feet,
20 degrees below zero?
Oh, I do it all the time,
Whenever I have|a few minutes after lunch.
Did you ever get shot at? Run over?
Did you ever get sandbagged
Because somebody got unfavourable|publicity from your camera?
Did you ever...|Those high heels,|they'll be great in the jungle.
And the nylons|and those six-ounce lingerie.
- Three.|- Alright, three.
They'll make a big hit in Finland,|just before you freeze to death.
Well, if there's one thing I know,|it's how to wear the proper clothes.
Well, try and find a raincoat in Brazil,|even when it isn't raining.
Lisa, in this job you carry one suitcase.
Your home|is the available transportation.
You don't sleep very much.|You bathe less.
And sometimes the food that you eat
Is made from things that you couldn't|even look at when they're alive.
Jeff, you don't have to be deliberately|repulsive just to impress me I'm wrong.
Deliberately repulsive?|I'm trying to make it sound good.
You just have to face it, Lisa,|you're not meant for that kind of a life.
Few people are.
- You're too stubborn to argue with.|- I'm not stubborn. I'm just truthful.
I know, a lesser man would have|told me it was one long holiday,
And I would have awakened|to a rude disillusionment.
Well, now, wait a minute.
If you want to get vicious on this thing,|I'd be happy to accommodate you.
No, I don't particularly want that.
So that's it?
You won't stay here,|and I can't go with you.
It would be the wrong thing.
You don't think either one|of us could ever change?
Right now it doesn't seem so.
I-I'm in love with you.
I don't care what you do for a living.
I'd like to be part of it somehow.
It's deflating to find out|the only way I can be part of it,
Is to take out a subscription|to your magazine.
I guess I'm not the girl I thought I was.
There's nothing wrong with you, Lisa.
You've got this town|in the palm of your hand.
Not quite, it seems.
You mean good night.
- I mean what l said.|- Well, Lisa...
Couldn't we just...
Couldn't we just...|Keep things status quo?
Without any future?
Well, when am I gonna see you again?
Not for a long time.
At least...|Not until tomorrow night.
Grab that. Wait, I'll get the clock.
Pull on it. Let me do it.
In you go.
No, you can't come in.|It's much too late.
No, not now.
No, I said good night.
What's that supposed to be, ma'am?
It's called hunger.
You'd think the rain|would have cooled things off.
- All it did was make the heat wet.|- Ahh, that's it.
That's stiff right there. Right there.
The insurance company|would be much happier
If you'd sleep in bed at night|instead of in that wheelchair.
- How do you know?|- Eyes are all bloodshot.
Must have been watching|out that window for hours.
yeah, I was.
What are you gonna do|if one of them catches you?
It depends which one.|Miss Torso, for example -
You keep your mind off her.
She sure is the|'eat, drink and be merry" girl.
yeah, she'll wind up fat,|alcoholic and miserable.
Speaking of misery,|poor Miss Lonelyhearts.
She drank herself to sleep again, alone.
Poor soul. Maybe one day|she'll find her happiness.
yeah, and some man will lose his.
Isn't there anybody in the|neighbourhood
Who could cast an eye in her direction?
It might just be that the salesman|will be available soon.
Oh, him and his wife splitting up?
I just can't figure it.
He went out several times|last night in the rain,
- Carrying his sample case.|- Well, he's a salesman, isn't he?
What would he be selling|at three o'clock in the morning?
Flashlights.|Luminous dials for watches.
House numbers that light up.
I don't think so.
I think he was taking|something out of the apartment.
Uh-huh. His personal effects.
He's gonna run out on her, the coward.
yeah. Sometimes it's worse|to stay than it is to run.
yeah, well, it takes a particularly low|type of man to do a thing like that.
How about this morning?
Any further developments?
The shades are all drawn|in the apartment.
- In this heat?|- yeah.
Well, they're up now.
- Get back! Get back.|- Where do you want me to go?
- Come on, get out of sight.|- What's the matter?
That salesman's looking out of|his window. You see?
Get back! He'll see you.
I'm not shy. I've been looked at before.
That's no ordinary look.
That's the kind of look a man gives
When he's afraid somebody|might be watching him.
Get away from there.
He'll be after you.|Go on, into the house.
Into the house. Shoo, shoo.
Goodbye, Mr Jefferies.|See you tomorrow.
- And don't sleep in that chair again.|- Uh-huh.
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh."|Great conversationalist.
Take those binoculars out|and bring them here, will you?
I can smell it.
I'll be glad when they crack|that cast, and I can get outta here.
How far does a girl have to go|before you'll notice her?
Well, if she's pretty enough,|she doesn't have to go anywhere.
She just has to "be.'
Well, ain't I?
Pay attention to me.
I'm not exactly|on the other side of the room.
Your mind is...|And when|I want a man, I want all of him.
Don't you ever have any problems?
I have one now.
So do I.
Tell me about it.
Why would a man leave|his apartment three times
On a rainy night with a suitcase,|and come back three times?
He likes the way his wife|welcomes him home.
No, no. Not this salesman's wife.
And why didn't he go to work today?
Homework. It's more interesting.
What's interesting about a butcher knife
And a small saw
Wrapped in newspaper?
Nothing, thank heaven.
Why hasn't he been|in his wife's bedroom all day?
I wouldn't dare answer that.
Well, listen. I'll answer it, Lisa.
There's something terribly wrong.
- And l'm afraid it's with me.|- What do you think?
Something too frightful to utter.
He went out a few minutes|ago in his undershirt, hasn't come back.
That would be a terrible job to tackle.
Just how would you start|to cut up a human body?
Jeff, I'll be honest with you.|You're beginning to scare me.
Jeff, did you hear what I said?|You're beginning to scare -
Shh! He's coming back!
- Jeff, if you could only see yourself!|- What's the matter?
Sitting around looking out of the|window to kill time is one thing,
But doing it the way|you are with binoculars
And wild opinions about every|little thing you see is diseased!
Do you think I consider it recreation?
I don't know what you consider it,
But if you don't stop it,|I'm getting out of here.
- What's the |- What is it you're looking for?
I just want to find out what's|the matter with the salesman's wife.
Does that make me|sound like a madman?
What makes you think there's|something the matter with her?
A lot of things. She's an invalid.|She demands constant care.
Yet not the husband or anybody else|has been in to see her all day. Why?
- Maybe she died.|- Where's the doctor?
Where's the undertaker?
She could be sleeping, under sedatives.
He's in there now.|There's nothing to see.
There is something.|I've seen it through that window.
I've seen bickering and family quarrels
And mysterious trips at night
And knives and saws and rope.
Now, since last evening, not a sign|of the wife. Tell me where she is.
- I don't know.|- What's she doing?
Maybe he's leaving his wife.|I don't know. I don't care!
Lots of people have knives and saws|and ropes around their houses.
And lots of men don't speak|to their wives all day.
Lots of wives nag and|men hate them and trouble starts,
But few of them end up in murder,|if that's what you're thinking.
It's pretty hard for you to keep|away from that word, isn't it?
You could see all that he did,|couldn't you?
- Of course, I |- You could see coś the shades were up
And he walked along the corridor|and the street and the backyard.
I've seen him -
Jeff, do you think a murderer|would let you see all that?
That he wouldn't pull the shades|down and hide behind them?
He's being clever. He's being nonchalant.
And that's|where you're not bring clever.
A murderer would never parade|his crime in front of an open window.
For all you know, there's|something sinister going on there.
Let's start|from the beginning again, Jeff.
Tell me everything you saw
And what you think it means.
- |- yeah?
"The name on the second floor
Rear mail box reads,|'Mr and Mrs Lars'."
What's the number of the apartment?
"125 West Ninth Street."
Thank you, dear.
"OK, chief.|What's my next assignment?"
Just go home.
'Alright, but what's he doing now?"
He's just sitting|in the living room in the dark.
Hasn't gone near the bedroom.
Now you go home|and get some sleep. Good night.
"What's it about, Jeff?"
Look, Doyle,|I can't tell you over the phone.
You have to be here|and see the whole set-up.
It's probably nothing.|It's just a little neighbourhood murder.
- "Did you say murder?"|- Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.
"Oh, come now."
My only thought was throwing a little|business your way, that's all.
I figured a detective would jump at|the chance of something to detect.
- "l'm not working."|- What?
"This happens to be my day off."
I usually took my best pictures|on my day off.
- "l'll drop by."|- OK, Doyle. As soon as you can.
Bless your heart, Stella.
Gee whiz, look at this.
I can't tell you|what a welcome sight this is.
No wonder your husband still loves you.
- The police.|- What?
- You called the police.|- Well, not exactly.
Not an official call.|It's an old friend of mine.
An old, ornery friend of mine.
Just where do you suppose|he cut her up?
Of course. The bathtub.
That's the only place where|he could have washed away the blood.
He better get that trunk out|of there before it starts to leak.
Look, look, Mr Jefferies.
I thought Doyle would be here|by the time the trunk left,
Or I'd have called the police.|Now we're gonna lose it.
- Hold everything.|- Don't do anything foolish.
I'm just gonna get the name|off that freight truck.
I'll keep an eye on the alley.
You didn't see the killing or the body.|How do you know there was a murder?
Because everything this fellow's done|has been suspicious:
Trips at night in the rain,|knives and saws and trunks with rope,
And now this wife|that isn't there any more.
I admit it all has a mysterious sound.
It could be any number of things.|Murder's the least possible.
Doyle, don't tell me|he's an unemployed magician,
Amusing the neighbourhood|with his sleight of hand.
Don't tell me that.
It's too obvious and stupid|a way to commit murder.
In full view of 50 windows?
Then sit there smoking a cigar,|waiting for the police to pick him up.
Alright, officer, do your duty.|Go over and pick him up.
Jeff, you've got a lot|to learn about homicide.
Why, morons have committed|murder so shrewdly,
It's taken a hundred trained|police minds to catch them.
That salesman wouldn't just|knock his wife off after dinner
And toss her in the trunk|and put her in storage.
I'll bet it's been done.
Most everything's been done...|Under panic.
This is a thousand-to-one shot.
He's still sitting around the apartment.|That man's not panicked.
You think I made all this up?
Well, I think you saw something
There's probably|a very simple explanation for.
- For instance?|- Wife took a trip.
His wife was sick in bed.
yeah, so you told me.
Well, Jeff, I've got to run along.
I won't report this to the department.|Let me poke into it a little on my own.
No sense in your getting|a lot of ridiculous publicity.
We know the wife is gone,|so I'll see if I can find out where.
You had any headaches lately?
Not till you showed up.
It will wear off,|along with the hallucinations.
See you around.
- Get along.|-
He has a six months" lease.
Used up a little more than|five and a half months of it.
He's quiet,|drinks, but not to drunkenness.
Pays his bills promptly|with money earned
As a costume jewellery salesman:|wholesale.
Kept to himself. No neighbours|got close to him or his wife.
yeah, well, I think|they missed their chance with her.
She never left the apartment,|until yesterday morning.
- What time?|- 6:00am.
I think that's|about the time I fell asleep.
Thorwalds were leaving|their apartment at just that time.
Feel a little foolish?
No, not yet.
- How's your wife?|- Oh, she's fine.
Who said they left then?
- W-Who left where?|- The Thorwalds, at 6:00am.
Oh, the building superintendent|and two tenants.
Flat statements, no hesitation.|They jived with the letter.
Thorwalds were on their way|to the railroad station.
Well, now, Tom, how could|anybody possibly guess that?
What, did they have signs|on their luggage saying,
'Grand Central, or bust'?
The superintendent|met Thorwald on his way back.
Thorwald told him that he'd put|his wife on a train to the country.
I see. I'd say this is a pretty|convenient guy, this superintendent.
Have you checked|his bank statements lately?
- Huh?|- Well, what good's his information?
It's a secondhand version of|an unsupported story by the murderer.
Now did anybody actually see|the wife get on the train?
I hate to remind you,
But this all started because|you said she was murdered.
Now, did anyone, including you,|actually see her murdered?
What are you doing?
Are you interested in solving|this case or making me look foolish?
Well, if possible, both.
Then do a good job of it.
Go over there and search|Thorwald's apartment.
It must be knee-deep in evidence.
I can't do that.
l don't mean right now,|but when he goes out for a drink,
Or a paper, or something.|What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
I can't do that even if he isn't there.
Does he have a courtesy card from|the police department or something?
Now don't get me mad.
Not even a detective can walk|into an apartment and search it.
If I were caught in there, they'd|have my badge within ten minutes.
Make sure|you don't get caught, that's all.
If you find something,|you've got a murderer,
And they don't care about|a couple of house rules.
If you don't find anything,|the fellow's clear.
At the risk of sounding stuffy,
I'd like to remind you|of the Constitution and the phrase,
'search warrant issued by a judge "|who knows the Bill of Rights verbatim.
- He must ask for evidence.|- Give him evidence.
yeah, I can hear myself,
"Your Honour, I have a friend|who's an amateur sleuth."
"The other night, after|having a heavy dinner, he..."
He'd throw the New York State|penal code in my face,
And there's six volumes.
By tomorrow morning there|may not be any evidence left
Over in that apartment, you know that.
It's a detective's nightmare.
What do you need|before you can search?
Tell me now, what do you need?
Bloody footsteps|leading up to the door?
One thing I don't need is heckling.|You called me and asked for help.
Now you're behaving like a taxpayer.
How did we ever|stand each other in that plane
For three years during the war?
I guess I'll go over|to the railroad station
And check on Thorwald's story.
Oh, forget about the story.
Find the trunk. Mrs Thorwald's in it.
Oh, I almost forgot.
There was a postcard|in Thorwald's mailbox. It was...
Mailed 3:30 yesterday|afternoon from Merritsville.
That's 80 miles north of here.
Message went: "Arrived OK.
Already feeling better. Love, Anna.'
Uh...|Is that, um...
Anna...|Is that who I think it is?
- Mrs Thorwald.|- Uh-huh.
Oh, so anything you need, Jeff?
You might send me a good detective.
- "Hello? Yes?"|- Hello, Miss Doyle?
This is Jeff again.|Has Tom come in yet?
"Not yet, Jeff."
You mean you haven't|even heard from him?
"Not a word.|Ls it something really important, Jeff?"
yeah, I'm afraid it is.
"l'll have him call the moment|l hear from him."
No, no, don't bother to do that.
Just have him get over here|as soon as he can.
Looks like Thorwald's|pulling out tonight.
- " Who's Thorwald?"|- He'll know, he'll know.
And Thorwald's a man, don't worry.
- "Good night, you idiot."|- Good night.
Long distance again.
There's somebody at the door.
- Hi.|- Hello.
- What'd you do to your hair?|- Oh, I just -
Take a look at Thorwald.|He's getting ready to pull out.
He doesn't seem to be in any hurry.
He's been laying out all|his things on one of the beds:
Shirts, suits, coats, socks.
Even that alligator handbag|his wife left on the bedpost.
He had it hidden in the dresser.|At least, it was there.
He took it out, went to the telephone|and made a long distance call.
He had his wife's jewellery|in the handbag.
Seemed worried about it.|Asked someone's advice over the phone.
Someone not his wife.
Well, I never saw him|ask her for advice.
She volunteered plenty,|but I never saw him ask her for any.
- I wonder where he's going.|- I don't know.
- Suppose he doesn't come back?|- He'll be back. His things are there.
- I guess it's safe to put on lights.|- No, not yet!
OK, you can turn it on now. He must|have gone someplace to the right.
All day long, I've been trying|to keep my mind on my work.
- Thinking about Thorwald?|- And you, and your friend, Doyle.
- Did you hear from him since he left?|- Not a word.
He said he was gonna check|the railroad station and the trunk.
He must be still at it.
Something on your mind?
- It doesn't make sense to me.|- What doesn't?
Women aren't that unpredictable.
Hmm. Well, I can't guess|what you're thinking.
A woman has a favourite handbag,
And it always hangs on her bedpost|where she can get at it easily.
Then, all of a sudden, she goes away|on a trip and leaves it behind. Why?
Because she didn't know|she was going on a trip,
And where she's going,|she wouldn't need the handbag.
Yes, but only her husband|would know that.
And that jewellery - Women don't|keep their jewellery in a purse
Getting all twisted|and scratched and tangled up.
Well, do they hide it|in their husband's clothes?
They do not.|And they don't leave it behind either.
Why, a woman going anywhere|but the hospital
Would always take make-up,|perfume and jewellery.
Put that over there.|That's inside stuff, huh?
It's basic equipment.
And you don't leave it behind in|your husband's drawer
In your favourite handbag.
Well, I'm with you, sweetie.|I'm with you.
Tom Doyle has a pat answer|for that though.
That Mrs Thorwald left at 6:00am|yesterday with her husband?
According to those witnesses.
Well, I have a pat rebuttal|for Mr Doyle.
Couldn't have been Mrs Thorwald,|or I don't know women.
- What about the witnesses?|- We'll agree they saw a woman,
But she was not Mrs Thorwald.
- That is, not yet.|- Is that so?
I'd like to see your friend's face|when we tell him.
He doesn't sound|like much of a detective.
Oh, don't be too hard on him.|He's a steady worker.
I sure wish he'd show up.
Don't rush him. We have all night.
- We have all what?|- Night.
I'm going to stay with you.
Well, you'll have to clear that|with my landlord.
I have the whole weekend off.
That's very nice,|but I just have one bed.
If you say anything else, I'll...|Stay tomorrow night too.
I won't be able|to give you any...|Pyjamas.
You said I'll have|to live out of one suitcase.
- I'll bet yours isn't this small.|- This is a suitcase?
Well, a Mark Cross overnight case.
- Ooh.|- Compact, but, uh...|Ample enough.
Looks like you packed in a hurry.
Look at this. Isn't that amazing?
I'll trade you...|My feminine intuition|for a bed for the night.
I'll go along with that.
There's that song again.
Where does a man get inspiration|to write a song like that?
Well, he gets it from|the landlady once a month.
It's utterly beautiful.
- I wish I could be creative.|- Oh, sweetie, you are.
Y-Y-You have a great talent for|creating difficult situations.
- I do?|- Sure.
Like staying here all night uninvited.
Well, surprise is the most|important element of attack.
Besides, you're not up on|your private eye literature.
When they're in trouble,|it's always their Girl Friday
That gets them out of it.
Is she the girl that|saves them from the clutches
Of the over-passionate|daughters of the rich?
- The same.|- That's the one, huh?
It's funny. He never ends|up marrying her, does he?
- That's strange.|- Weird.
Why don't I slip into something|more comfortable?
By all means.
I mean, like the kitchen|and make us some coffee.
Oh, and some brandy too, huh?
- Jeff.|- Hi.
What else have you got|on this man Thorwald?
Enough to scare me you wouldn't|show up in time and we'd lose him.
- Think he's getting out of here?|- He's got everything he owns
Laid out over there in the bedroom,|waiting to be packed.
I'm just warming some brandy.|Mr Doyle, I presume?
Tom, this is Miss Lisa Fremont.
- How do you do?|- We think Thorwald's guilty.
- Hello.|- Lieutenant Doyle.
yeah, he's right here. For you.
- Hello.|- Lieutenant Doyle, sir?
I see. Thank you...|Goodbye.
Coffee will be ready soon.
Jeff, aren't you going to tell him|about the jewellery?
He's got his wife's jewellery hidden|in his clothes in the bedroom there.
- You sure it belonged to his wife?|- It was in her favourite handbag.
Mr Doyle, that can only lead|to one conclusion.
That it was not Mrs Thorwald that|left with him yesterday morning.
You figured that out, eh?
It's simply that women|don't leave their jewellery behind
When they go on a trip.
Come on, Tom. You don't really need|any of this information, do you?
As a matter of fact, I don't.
Lars Thorwald is no more|a murderer than I am.
You can explain everything|that's going on over there?
No, and neither can you.
That's a secret, private world|you're looking into out there.
People do a lot of things in private|they couldn't do in public.
Like disposing of their wives?
Get that idea out of your mind.|It'll only lead in the wrong direction.
What about the knife and the saw?
- Did you ever own a saw?|- Well, at home in the garage I had -
How many people|did you cut up with it?
Or with the couple hundred knives|you've owned in your lifetime?
Your logic is backward.
You can't ignore the disappearance|and the trunk and the jewellery.
I checked the railroad station.|He bought a ticket.
Ten minutes later,|he put his wife on the train.
Destination: Merritsville.|The witnesses are that deep.
That might have been a woman, but|it couldn't have been Mrs Thorwald.
- That jewellery |- Look, Miss Fremont.
That feminine intuition stuff|sells magazines
But in real life, it's still a fairy tale.
I don't know how many|wasted years I've spent,
Tracking down leads|based on female intuition.
Alright!|l take it you didn't find the trunk.
All this is from an old speech|you made at the policemen's ball.
I found the trunk|a half-hour after I left here.
I suppose it's normal for a man|to tie up a trunk with heavy rope?
If the lock is broken, yes.
What did you find inside the trunk,|a surly note to me?
Mrs Thorwald's clothes;
Clean, well-packed,|not stylish, but presentable.
Didn't you take them off|to the crime lab?
I sent them on their merry|and legal way.
Why, when a woman is taking|a simple, short trip,
Does she take everything she owns?
Let's let the female psychology|department handle that one.
I would say it looked as if|she wasn't coming back.
That's what's|known as a family problem.
If she wasn't coming back,|why didn't he tell his landlord?
I'll tell you why|he didn't tell his landlord,
Because he was hiding something.
Do you tell your landlord everything?
Ah, I told you to be careful, Tom.
If I'd have been careful|piloting that reconnaissance plane
You wouldn't have had the chance|to take the pictures
That won you a medal,|and a good job, and fame, and money.
What do you say, we all sit|down and have a nice friendly drink.
Forget all about this.
We can tell lies about|the good old days during the war.
You mean|you're through with the case?
There is no case|to be through with, Miss Fremont.
How about that drink?
yeah, I guess you're right.
Well, I think I better get home|and get some sleep.
I, uh...|I'm not much of a snifter.
Oh, Jeff, if you need any more help...
Consult the Yellow Pages|in your telephone directory.
Oh, I love funny exiting lines.
- Who was that trunk addressed to?|- Mrs Anna Thorwald.
Then let's wait and find out|who picks it up.
Oh, that phone call,|I gave them your number.
- I hope you don't mind.|- Depends on who they were.
The police at Merritsville.
They reported|the trunk was just picked up...
By Mrs Anna Thorwald.
Don't stay up too late.
- Look.|- What?
yeah, he's kind of young, isn't he?
What are you doing?
You know, much as I hate to give|Thomas J Doyle too much credit,
He might have gotten ahold|of something when he said
That was pretty private|stuff going on out there.
I wonder if it's ethical to watch a man
With binoculars and a long-focus lens.
Do you suppose it's ethical, even if you|prove that he didn't commit a crime?
I'm not much on rear window ethics.
Of course,|they can do the same thing to me,
Watch me like a bug under a glass,|if they want to.
Jeff, if someone came in here,|they wouldn't believe what they'd see.
- What?|- You and me with long faces,
Plunged into despair because|we find out a man didn't kill his wife.
We're two of the most|frightening ghouls I've ever known.
You'd think we could be a bit happy|that the poor woman is alive and well.
Whatever happened to that old|saying, "Love thy neighbour'?
You know, I think I'll start|reviving that tomorrow.
yeah, I'll begin with Miss Torso.
Not if I have to move into|an apartment across the way...
And do the "Dance of the Seven Veils'|every hour.
Show's over for tonight.
Preview of coming attractions.
Did Mr Doyle think I stole this case?
No, Lisa, I don't think he did.
- What do you think?|- Well, uh...
- I will rephrase the question.|- Thank you.
Do you like it?
- Yes, I like it.|- Well -
What's the matter?
- Somebody's hurt?|- lt's the dog.
Something's happened to the dog.
Somebody fall out a window?
I think it's a dog.
It's dead. It's been strangled.|Its neck is broken.
Which one of you did it?
Which one of you killed my dog?
You don't know the meaning|of the word "neighbours'.
Neighbours like each other,
Speak to each other,|care if anybody lives or dies!
But none of you do!
But I couldn't imagine|any of you being so low
That you'd kill a helpless, friendly dog.
The only thing in this whole|neighbourhood who liked anybody!
Did you kill him because he liked you?|Just because he liked you?
Let's go inside.
- Come on. Let's go back in.|- It's only a dog.
You know, for a minute,|that Tom Doyle almost had me
Convinced I was wrong.
- But you're not?|- Look.
In the courtyard, only one person|didn't come to the window. Look.
Why would Thorwald|want to kill a little dog?
Because it knew too much?
You think this is worth|waiting all day to see?
ls he cleaning house?
He's washing down the bathroom walls.
Hm, must have splattered a lot.
Well, why not?|That's what we're all thinking.
He killed her in there,|he has to clean up those stains.
Oh, Stella, your choice of words.
Nobody ever invented|a polite word for a killing yet.
Lisa, back there on that shelf,|there's a little yellow box, you see it?
- Top one?|- Right on top, yeah.
And bring me the viewer there.
I just got a...|These are about two weeks old.
I hope I took something else|besides leg art. Now which one...
What are you looking for?
There's something, and if I'm right,|I think I've solved a murder.
- Mrs Thorwald?|- No.
No, the dog.
Uh-huh. I think I know|why Thorwald killed that dog.
Here, now you take a look.|Tell me what you see.
Now take it down.
Now look again.
Now take it down. You see?
It's just a picture of the backyard -
But with one important change.|One important change.
Those flowers|in Thorwald's pet flower bed.
You mean where the dog|was sniffing around?
Where the dog was digging.|Now look at those flowers.
Look, those two yellow zinnias|on this end
Aren't as tall as they were.
Since when do flowers|grow shorter in two weeks?
- There's something buried there.|- Mrs Thorwald.
You haven't spent much time|around cemeteries, have you?
Mr Thorwald could scarcely|put his wife's body
In a plot of ground|about one foot square.
Unless, of course,|he put her in standing on end,
And then he wouldn't need|a knife and saw.
No, my idea is she's|scattered all over town.
- Leg in the East River |- Oh, Stella, please!
No, no, no. There's something in there.
Those flowers have been|taken out and put back in.
- Maybe it's the knife and saw.|- yeah -
- Call Lieutenant Doyle.|- No, let's wait.
Let's wait till it gets a little darker,|and I'll go over there and dig them up.
You'll go? You won't dig anything up|and get your neck broken.
No, no, we've...
We're not gonna call Doyle until|I can produce Mrs Thorwald's body.
What we've got to do is find a way|to get into that apartment.
Here, get me a pencil.
Stella, get me some note paper.|It's up here someplace.
There it is.
You did it, Thorwald. You did it.
- Look out, Lisa. He's coming.|- You never should have let her do it.
- If he ever |- Look. Look. Look.
Thank heaven that's over.
- Alright if I have a drink?|- Sure, go ahead.
There's no doubt about it. He's leaving.|Lt's just a question of when.
Mind if I use that portable keyhole?
Go ahead, just as long as you tell me|what you're looking at.
- l wonder...|- Wonder what?
Miss Lonelyhearts just laid out|something that looks like
Rhodium tri-eckonal capsules.
- You can tell from here?|- l've handled enough of those
To put everybody in Hackensack|to sleep for the winter.
- Does she have enough of them to |- To make her rest easier -
- |- Wasn't that close?
What was his reaction|when he looked at the note?
lt wasn't the kind|of expression that would get him
A quick loan at the bank.
Jeff, the handbag!
Suppose Mrs Thorwald's wedding ring
Is among the jewellery|he has in that handbag?
Now, during the phone conversation|he held up three rings:
One with a diamond,|one with a big stone of some sort,
And then just a plain gold band.
The last thing she would leave behind|would be her wedding ring.
Stella,|do you ever leave yours at home?
The only way anybody could get that|ring would be to chop off my finger.
Let's go down and find out|what's buried in the garden.
Why not? I've always wanted|to meet Mrs Thorwald.
- What are you two talking about |- You got a shovel?
Of course I don't have a shovel.
- There's probably one in the basement.|- If you're squeamish, just don't look.
Squeamish? I'm not squeamish.
I just don't want you two|to end up like that dog.
Oh, you know, Miss Fremont,|he might just have something there.
Just hold on. Here, take this.
No sense taking any chances|in this thing.
Here, give me the phone book.
Maybe I can|get him out of that apartment.
We only need a few minutes.
I'll see if I can get about 15 minutes.
- How?|- Thorwald.
We scared him once,|maybe we can scare him again.
I guess I'm using that word|'we" a little freely.
You're taking all the chances.
- Shall we vote him in, Stella?|- Unanimously.
2-7099. Look out.
Go on, pick it up, Thorwald.
Go on, you're curious.
You wonder if it's your girlfriend|calling, the one you killed for.
Go on, pick it up.
- "Hello?"|- Did you get my note?
Well, did you get it, Thorwald?
"Who are you?"
l'll give you a chance to find out.
Meet me|in the bar at the Albert Hotel.
Do it right away.
- "Why should l?"|- A little business meeting...
To settle the estate of your late wife.
"l...|Don't know what you mean."
Come on. Quit stalling, Thorwald,
Or l'll hang up and call the police.
- "l only have $100."|- That's a start.
L'm at the Albert now.|I'll be looking for you.
Come on, Stella, let's go.
One of you|keep an eye on this window.
Lf l see him coming back,|l'll signal with a flashbulb.
"This is the Doyle residence."
Hello, this is L B Jefferies.|I'm a friend of Mr Doyle.
- Who's this?|- "This is a baby-sitter."
Oh, uh...|When do you expect them in?
"They went to dinner and|maybe a nightclub."
I see, hm.
Lf he calls in, have him get|in touch with L B Jefferies?
I might have quite a surprise for him.
"Well, do we have|your number, Mr Jefferies?"
- He has it. Good night.|- "Good night."
Ah, Stella was wrong|about Miss Lonelyhearts.
Lisa, what are you...|Don't...
Lisa, what are you doing? Don't go...
Come on, come on!|Get out of there!
She said ring Thorwald's phone|the second you see him come back.
We'll ring right now!| Give her another minute.
Alright, fellows,|let's try it once from the beginning.
Oh, call the police!
- "Operator."|- Get me the police, sixth precinct.
Mr Jefferies, the music stopped her.
"Precinct Six, Sergeant Allgood."
Hello. Look, a man is assaulting|a woman at 125 West Ninth Street,
Second floor, at the rear.
Make it fast!
- "Your name?"|- L B Jefferies.
- "Phone number?"|- Chelsea 2-5598
The door was open.
- I told you...|- Oh, no!
Let go of me! Jeff!
- Oh, no! |- Jeff! Jeff!
Stella, what do we do?
- Jeff! Jeff!|- Here they come.
What's she trying to do?|Why doesn't she turn him in?
- She's a smart girl.|- "Smart girl?" She'll be arrested.
lt'll get her out of there, won't it?
Look, the wedding ring!
Turn off the light! He's seen us!
How long do you think he'll stay there?
Unless he's dumber than I think,|he won't wait until his lease is up.
Get my billfold out of the drawer|in the table there.
- What do you need money for?|- I'm gonna bail Lisa out of jail.
You could leave her there|till next Tuesday.
Then you could sneak|safely away as planned.
- yeah, let's see, $127.|- How much do you need?
Well, this is first offence burglary,|that's about $250.
- Lisa's handbag.|- yeah.
- How much does she have?|- Fifty cents.
- Here, take this.|- l got $20 or so in my purse.
What about the rest?
When those cops see Lisa,|they'll even contribute.
Just a minute. Hurry up!
- Jefferies.|- "What is it now?"
Doyle, I've got something|really big for you.
"Why did l have to return your call?"
"Look! Don't louse up my night|with another mad killer -"
Listen to me! Listen to me!|Lisa's in jail. She got arrested.
- "Your Lisa?"|- My Lisa.
Boy, you should have seen her.|She got into Thorwald's apartment,
But then he came back

Hollywood’s most striking new role model on how it feels to bewitch the world with her very first film
Field slave Patsey sits humming to herself making cornhusk dolls, her long fingers trembling slightly as she braids the fibres, the raised scar tissue on her cheek the result of a jealous outburst from her master’s wife. The scene, one of many moments in Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave that Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o performs with devastating veracity, was Nyong’o’s own idea.
“There was something childlike to me about Patsey,” the 30-year-old says when we meet at a small café in Brooklyn. “(The dollmaking) was going to be my secret, just something I would know as an actor that she did. But then the next day I was talking to Steve and I mentioned it, and immediately he got the art department to supply me with cornhusks. I made one every other day and in the end I was able to give them out as gifts.”
British director McQueen had auditioned over a thousand girls for the role, but when he met Nyong’o, he knew he had found his Patsey. “She was striking,” he remembers. “Then the audition happened and she was even more striking.” The reason for his reaction is immediately obvious today: when Nyong’o, wrapped in a thick marigold-coloured scarf, enters the room, it’s with the easy gait of a model accustomed to matching grace to her height. Her presence is calming in its total absence of nervous energy. She sits with perfect posture, her chin resting on her hands, her large eyes attentive and warm.
Already the recipient of nine critics awards and nominated for both a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for the role, her feature debut, Nyong’o has made a similar impression on the rest of the world. An Oscar nomination is surely on the cards. To all this, she laughs brightly. “I’m pleasantly surprised.” 12 Years a Slave, the true story of Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841, opened stateside the same year right-wingers raised a Confederate flag in front of the White House and a Florida jury acquitted a man for killing a black teen. Few films have felt as urgent, and its instant acclaim perhaps indicates that Americans are finally ready for honest stories about their history, even if they require outsiders to tell them.
Due to an abiding anxiety over what may come of openly talking about slavery, there has long been a deafening silence on the subject in the US mainstream, broken only by films like 2011’sThe Help, which functions mainly as a reminder that some white people were “good”. Such hamfisted priorities lead to songs like country star Brad Paisley’s “Accidental Racist”, in which Paisley negotiates “southern pride” and urges that we “let bygones be bygones”, while LL Cool J raps, “If you don’t judge my gold chains, I’ll forget the iron chains.”
“MY PUBLIC IMAGE IS PART OF ME BUT IT IS NOT ME. I HAVE NO ILLUSIONS ABOUT IT EVER BEING ME”
12 Years a Slave makes no such concessions. While the male protagonist’s experience depicts slavery as a trafficking machine, Patsey’s reveals slavery as a pathology in the minds of white plantation owners. Slavery is the story of abused bodies, and Nyong’o ensures Patsey’s body, repeatedly abused by her owner, Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), radiates with integrity even at its most violated. We do not consume Patsey, we bear witness. It’s the first commercially successful treatment of the subject in years that isn’t designed with the tastes of white audiences in mind. And it’s a testament to the gains that can be made through understanding history instead of hiding it.
A newcomer but not an ingénue, Nyong’o harbours no delusions about celebrity. “I cannot live in my public image,” she says. “It is part of me but it is not me. I have no illusions about it ever being me.” This grounded perspective owes itself in large part to her father, political-science professor Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, who organised for democracy in Kenya but found himself exiled in Mexico, where Nyong’o was born in 1983. The family eventually returned to their home country, where political turbulence led to Peter being regularly detained without charge, sometimes for months at a time. Her parents sheltered their children from the stakes, but Nyong’o learned early on that the person captured on camera was a distortion. (Her father is now a Kenyan senator.)
Her mother, meanwhile, taught her how to be a woman. “She instilled in me that you don’t have to apologise for being a woman. There’s no apology in my femininity.” This attitude inspires the bodily awareness that makes Nyong’o such an efficient actor: the graceful arc of her arm in the deflating song and dance Epps demands in the dead of night, the nimble patience with which she picks 500lbs of cotton a day, the stillness with which she suffers rape at that same master’s hands, and her plea for a single bar of soap, which precedes a brutal whipping that mists the air with her blood.
Nyong’o describes acting in McQueen’s film as “designing the physical manifestation of Patsey’s emotional architecture.” An appreciative consciousness of her body informs not only her acting style but her life. “My mantra is Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)’. I live by that song, and one of the things he says in it is ‘enjoy your body’.” Which is why she pursues dance, exercise, anything that challenges her physically. “(As an actor) you’re in constant conversation with your body. In keeping it responsive you’ll keep it sharp.”
“ACTING IS A REMINDER THAT EVERYTHING IS SO TEMPORARY. THERE’S NO ILLUSION OF SECURITY THAT OTHER JOBS MAY HAVE. YOU’RE ALWAYS STARTING AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE EYES OF A CHILD”
Storytelling came naturally to Nyong’o; as a child not yet old enough to attend school, she wove detailed stories of life as a student – who her friends were, what she ate for lunch. “My mother was just like, ‘This girl is destined to be a performer.’” But watching The Color Purple introduced her to the possibility of acting in an entirely new way. “I liked to do it, but I didn’t know it was a vocation, not until I saw The Color Purple and saw people like me onscreen. Especially Whoopi Goldberg, because shortly after that I saw Sister Act and it was the same woman! It occurred to me that this was something that people do.” She began putting on plays, and played Juliet in a Kenyan repertory theatre production of Romeo & Juliet at 14.
Her desire to join the movie industry grew, but she lacked the courage to articulate it as a goal. When she heard that the Ralph Fiennes movie The Constant Gardener (2005) would be filming near her town in Kenya she joined the set as a production assistant. One day, Fiennes asked her what she wanted to do with her life. “I very timidly told him I wanted to be an actor. He took a deep breath and said, ‘Lupita. If there’s anything else you want to do besides acting, do that. Only act if you feel you can’t live without it.’ And that was not what I wanted to hear. It gave me pause.”
She went on to graduate in film and theatre studies at Hampshire College, Massachusetts, and write, direct and produce In My Genes, a documentary about albinism in Kenya that was inspired by a neighbour with the condition. The film, which started as her thesis project, follows the lives of several Kenyans with albinism as they navigate the discrimination and suspicion surrounding them. In 2008 she starred in Shuga, an internationally successful Kenyan television series about Aids and young love.
“I HAD THIS VIVID IMAGE OF MYSELF AT THE AGE OF 60 LOOKING BACK ON MY LIFE AND TRULY REGRETTING THE FACT THAT I HADN’T TRIED TO BE AN ACTOR”
Nyong’o could no longer deny what she calls the meditation of her heart. “It wasn’t until 2008 that I finally outwardly admitted that I wanted to be an actor. It was because I had this vivid image of myself at the age of 60 looking back on my life and truly regretting the fact that I hadn’t tried to be an actor. That’s when I applied to Yale.”
At Yale School of Drama, she confronted her insecurities and honed her talent. She credits the process with the success of her role as Patsey. “Before I went I had an instinct for acting but I didn’t understand how to fully lend myself to a character. I wanted to know what the reach of my instruments were, and they taught me that at Yale.” It was also there that she learned to call herself an actor. “Each time it becomes more true, because if you don’t admit it out loud then the naysayers get you.” When her extended family of professors and businesswomen – Forbesnamedher cousin Isis one of Africa’s most powerful women in 2012 – expressed concern for her chosen path, Nyong’o understood it was only out of love. “There’s so much fear of the unknown, and that’s what’s speaking. Everyone has to recognise that when someone says ‘you can’t’, it’s because they are afraid.”
The accolades she has received might seem likely to eliminate self-doubt, but doubt remains integral to Nyong’o’s creativity. For her, every project means proving herself again. “Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned that you don’t have what it takes. It’s what keeps us honest. As an actor, most of my time is spent in discomfort, and that is no excuse to then not do the work.”
She recalls her audition for 12 Years a Slave as being so free of expectation that she treated it as practice for the skill of auditioning. “And then I got the role, and I just remember feeling a swell. My heart rose and fell, because all of a sudden I had to do this thing. There was no kidding myself. I had at least two weeks of sheer panic and feeling like an imposter.” During her first rehearsal with Fassbender, McQueen turned to her and called her his “peer”. “That was so valuable to me,” she says. “It was exactly what I needed to hear.”
What Nyong’o shares with her character is a commitment to be present – present to her work as Patsey was present to her despair. “The world of acting is a reminder that everything is so temporary. There’s no illusion of security that other jobs may have. You’re always starting again. You have to have the eyes of a child to be able to take in things with a sense of newness and freshness. In other careers you can protect yourself from the vulnerability of not knowing something, but as an actor you’re always putting yourself in new environments.”
Outside of film sets, those new environments have included TV appearances hosted by gushing reporters and fashion shows in Paris. And yet Nyong’o’s favourite activities are decidedly less glamorous. “I prefer pajama parties at my best friend’s house,” she laughs. “And I’m afraid of heights but I want to go indoor rock climbing.” She now lives in Brooklyn, where she loves the social scene, “Brooklyn is where it’s at. I don’t like living where I work, so it’s nice to be outside of Manhattan.”
Nyong’o’s breathless journey from aspiring actress to critically acclaimed star has been so fast that she mostly credits luck, and remains mindful of the basic creative impulse that guided her. “I wanted to act, that was all I wanted to do. I’m so pleased and relieved and excited by all this happening because it means I can act some more.”
As a dark-skinned woman with short natural hair in an industry still overwhelmingly dominated by white standards of beauty, Nyong’o recognises her potential to be a mirror for other black women and inspire a new generation of actresses. Young women expressing gratitude just for feeling represented decorate her Facebook fan page. “It feels great. Dwayne Johnson said that greatness is not just what you do but what you inspire others to do. And that really moved me. If young girls feel inspired by my journey right now, it’s an honour.”
Nyong’o may usher in a more diverse era of film. She may be remembered as a fashion icon of the 10s. She’ll certainly keep winning acclaim for 12 Years a Slave. But more than anything, she will doubtless continue to leave the same impression she gave McQueen at her audition: “There is no one like her.” | <urn:uuid:01196bf7-a1c0-482b-bf6d-d1423c955658> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.redpepper.co.ug/2014/02/lupita-nyongo-interview-free-spirit/ | 2021-03-03T21:50:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178367790.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303200206-20210303230206-00322.warc.gz | en | 0.972502 | 3,011 |
The Fashion Police cast now holds two celebrity designers. According to Us Weekly, Kelly Osbourne is venturing into the industry with plans to create a plus-size fashion collection. Considering her segment with Joan Rivers and Giuliana Rancic, and George Kotsiopoulosis is all about dissecting style, we’re sure she’ll present a lovely line.
Us Weekly reports that during a beauty conference in August, Kelly admitted that her designing plans are actually happening and that she will have “creative control.” That means it won’t just be Kelly’s name to the garment of her choosing. While we’re super glad that Kelly is the boss of her amazing venture, we hope she chats about it on air with the gals and George!
What do you think about the fact that Kelly is putting together a clothing line? Are you excited?

It was very, very hard to put down Nidhogg to write this review. What do you know about Nidhogg? The people reading this versed in Norse mythology may think Nidhogg is a dragon that gnaws on the roots of the Earth tree, Yggdrasill. Although that is relevant and true, Nidhogg in this context, is a 2D fencing game in which two people battle to reach their side of a level where they then get eaten by Nidhogg.
I would like to preface this by saying that Nidhogg is best played with friends. The single player is totally serviceable but this game truly shines in its multiplayer. I played through the single player in about a half hour, from not knowing how to play the game properly. By the time I had finished that half hour, I definitely had the basics down. The goal is to get to your side of the level by going through multiple screens. To get to the next screen, you must kill the opponent, and run while he respawns in front of you on the next screen. Once you have ‘advantage’ you can run to the end, provided you don’t get killed yourself, then you need to kill your opponent again in order to go your way again. It’s a really interesting reverse tug of war mechanic where picking your fights appropriately is incentivised.
Your main weapon is your sword. With the sword you can fence with the other player using up or down to change the height of your sword. The interesting thing about the sword is that you can just stand there and if the opponent touches the sword they will fall onto it, making the entire mechanic similar to zoning in a traditional fighting game. You can lunge at the opponent with the attack button and if their sword is at a different height, they will be killed. If you change heights while under or over a sword, you can disarm the other person, giving you an advantage to attack. You can also fight with your fists, although the disadvantage there is limited reach and having to get close quarters. Two punches, a leg sweep, or a dive kick will knock someone down, crouching and pressing the attack button again will perform a spine rip. Swords can be picked back up by pushing down and can also be thrown by holding up then attack. Thrown swords can be blocked with a raised sword or dodged by jumping or rolling.
As far as mobility goes you have a basic jump, a forward roll and a cartwheel. There is also limited wall running, jumping and hanging off ledges. This can be good to sneak past an opponent when you don’t have a sword. The wall jumping is a little wonky, but it all works. For ease of control, you’ll be wanting an Xbox controller or similar.
The online multiplayer is a little bit wonky at this point in time. It totally works, but it’s not perfect. Lag in a fast-paced game is annoying; hopefully more improvements are to come, but online multiplayer is there if you have a good connection. Offline multiplayer is certainly the better experience, if only to yell expletives at the person who just stabbed you. A tournament mode with three or more friends will be a very fun time. There are a variety of modifiers for versus as well, such as low gravity, fast or slow speed, and boomerang swords.
The graphics are a gorgeous mix of simple Atari lines and colours with fluid modern animation. It won’t be everyone’s idea of awesome graphics, but they are certainly striking. The animation reminds me of the early flash videos of the internet, where stick figures would brutally murder each other. There are four different stages each with their own quirks that change the strategy of play. For example, the wild level has tall grass you can hide in, while the mines have narrow corridors inwhich swords cannot be thrown and you cannot jump over opponents. The music is composed by Daedelus and is unique with each play through. It’s a catchy mix of electronic tunes that fits the action well.
It is available for PC on Steam for $14.99 with a 20% discount for launch, so $11.99 until January 20th. There is also a two-pack option where you can buy two copies for a reduced price. The only criticism I can even muster is that there may not be enough content to justify the $15 price tag for some people.

Deadlight (2012) - Zombie Video Game News and Trailer
I had never heard of this game until about 1 minute ago, I was watching the downloaded trailers I had stored on my X-Box 360.
The trailer is all CGI and features a weather beaten man standing on a freeway sign while zombies shuffle around beneath him. The sign starts to give way so the man leaps off it in slow motion. Now using my famed investigative skills I have some more information the sparse trailer does not convey...
The game sounds interesting. It is set in America in 1986 with the whole population having turned into zombie type creatures called shadows. One person didn't change and that is the player. It is described by creative director Raul Rubio as a horror puzzle platformer that has heavy use of physics.
Deadlight is due out this summer on X-Box Live Arcade. Below is the trailer, the version I saw had no voice over and so had more atmosphere than the dodgy gravelly voice provides. | <urn:uuid:ec987e31-769e-4b19-a356-1a050a4c212d> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.therottingzombie.co.uk/2012/01/deadlight-zombie-videogame-trailer-xbla.html | 2018-03-20T03:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647280.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20180320033158-20180320053158-00309.warc.gz | en | 0.971564 | 207 |
The sleep disorder of sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, affects approximately 14% of school-age children between five and twelve years old at least once. Approximately one quarter of the children with this sleep disorder have more frequent episodes. Sleepwalking is more common in boys than it is in girls. Most children that sleepwalk outgrow the symptoms of this sleep disorder by adolescence as their nervous systems develop.
In children this sleep disorder is thought to be the result of the immaturity of the brain’s sleep / wake cycle. Normally the entire brain wakes up at the same time. However, in the case of a sleepwalker, the entire brain does not wake up together. The portion that is responsible for mobility wakes up while the portion responsible for cognition and awareness stays asleep. The child is actually in a deep state of sleep.
Only Part Of The Brain Is Awake
With this sleep disorder the brain remains partially asleep but the body is able to move. It is common for the sleepwalker to get out of bed and walk around. Sometimes they get dressed or go outside. Even though the sleepwalker’s eyes are open and they see what they are doing, their expression remains blank. They do not respond to conversation or their name being called. A sleepwalker’s movements usually appear clumsy. It is not uncommon for them to trip over furniture or knock over things as they move around. A sleepwalking episode usually happens one to two hours after the child goes to sleep. Most of these episodes last for fifteen minutes or less, but some can last for an hour or more.
This sleep disorder in children is usually outgrown and treatment is not generally necessary. In most cases, a parent gently guiding the child back to bed is all that is needed. There is not any need to wake the child.
Sleep Walking in Adults
However, there is about 1% of the population that sleepwalk as adults. Adults that have this sleep disorder did not necessarily have it as a child. In adults a sleepwalking episode can be triggered by stress, anxiety, sleep fragmentation, sleep deprivation, or certain medical conditions such as epilepsy.
Treatment for adults with this sleep disorder is often dependent upon the amount of danger they are in during an episode. For example, a sleepwalker who opens doors and goes outside onto a busy city street is in danger. A sleepwalker that gets up and goes into the living room and sits down on a chair most likely is not in danger. Treatments can include behavioral therapies, self hypnosis, or prescription medication.
Protecting The Sleep Walker
A sleepwalker, whether adult or child, needs to have a safe area so that they do not get hurt during an episode. Precautions can be taken to eliminate some dangers. Parents should make sure the child’s bedroom does not have any sharp or breakable objects. Doors should be locked at night to keep the sleepwalker from going outside. Sometimes it is necessary to put bells on doors to alert the sleeping parent that their child is sleepwalking. Large glass windows and doors should be covered with heavy drapery to lessen the chance of having the sleepwalker walk through it while it is closed.
A child with the sleep disorder of somnambulism needs to be protected and kept safe during an episode. It is the environment they are in that is the danger more then the sleep disorder itself. | <urn:uuid:5ca42ef6-f069-4b0c-a1ad-16dc609e01e6> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://www.howyousleep.com/children-with-the-sleep-disorder-of-sleepwalking/ | 2019-01-18T20:01:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583660529.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190118193139-20190118215139-00413.warc.gz | en | 0.963037 | 695 |

If a given site targets users in a particular location, webmasters can provide Google with information that will help determine how that site appears in its country-specific search results, and also improve Google search results for geographic queries. Diving straight into the internet without any clear game plan is time-wasting, dangerous and more often than not, a futile attempt to rank any website for maximum targeted traffic. SEO is also not a public relation activity, even when it includes all elements of branding, crafting, and reputation building. Search engine optimization might sound a little challenging, but it is very basic, fundamental, and simply designed to retain customers. Whilst this keyword does indeed still cover a broad range of different types of football boots, narrowing it down to yellow boots does indeed make it less generic and as such, if you rank for a keyword such as this, it is likely that you will receive an average amount of conversions, an improvement over generic keywords.
Why does SEO matter?
Either a piece of content can help your website’s search engine rankings or it can hurt your rankings. Spamming comment sections and other Get your sums right - the primary resources are all available. Its as easy as KS2 Maths or like your ABC. Its that easy! website areas (read: anywhere on wikiHow!) will actually make Google and other search engines dock you severely or remove you entirely. Search engine optimization is a strategy that is fairly easy to implement for most company websites - provided you have a current set of SEO ranking factors and efficiently implement changes. Building backlinks for a particular keyword through different off page techniques like blog posting, forum posting, article submissions etc.. You can give hyper links to those keywords to get more backlinks while you submissions done.
Questions to ask about inbound links
Remember, real SEO takes time. Companies that claim they are able to get you results in a few weeks are likely engaging in unethical practices like buying links, linking to low quality or irrelevant websites, or spamming comments. These shady business practices can result in a slight boost for a short period of time, but sooner or later, search engines are likely to catch on. Not only could Google remove your site entirely, these types of tactics can ultimately destroy your online reputation. Search engine optimization (SEO) is a term that gets thrown around a lot. It is no longer a hip, mysterious thing. Many people know what it is and numerous large companies already have a well-developed SEO strategy in place. It’s great that people write about you and link back to your website, but just as long as they create links naturally. Stuffing the anchor text with commercial keywords is far from natural and will surely get you in trouble. Using brand keywords or navigational phrases is a good option in this case. In a world of content marketing where it takes hours and days to write quality SEO content and blog posts, this type of attack can be particularly disheartening for content creators who see their work immediately discredited and used against them.
Design + search engine spiders = Greatness
Keyword research is something that needs focus and attention. It’s something you should take seriously. Without proper keyword research, you could well be optimizing your texts for the wrong search terms. But if you’re waiting for an SEO signal, there are two factors that can help nudge you in the right direction. Make sure you keep up to date with the latest changes to search engine algorithms and if you are hiring a SEO agency to provide you with SEO services, make sure that the business is frequently refining their SEO strategies to reflect the changes in the world of search engine marketing. According to SEO Consultant, Gaz Hall: "A “link” is when another website talks about yours and “links” to you as attribution."
Google Panda and Penguin stopped keyword stuffing in its tracks making it not just not ideal but counter productive. "The I'm always shocked by New Media Now, in this regard. more, the better" saying doesn’t go for links. At least not as long as "more" means links you buy without checking if they are risky for your backlink profile or not. You’d better aim for fewer high-quality links, then for thousands of links that bring no value to your backlink profile. Weak or risky backlinks won’t help your rankings at all. It can go even worst. These links can get you a Google penalty and severe (if not 100%) loss of organic traffic. Finding a good balance between the various “free” forms of building Back Links and the Pay Per Click advertising many people are using today is key to getting your Back Links covered. Always use no follow if you have linked your site with another site which is not of your niche. Google will be very careful and can take a step of getting you deindexed if he feels anything fishy. Google does not wants its search results to suffer and hence takes this kind of steps. | <urn:uuid:b0c3ca6b-2356-4533-99ec-7a2df5b0a972> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://ww2.han-be.com/How-to-focus-on-javascript-1521593222.html | 2021-08-03T08:54:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154432.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20210803061431-20210803091431-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.944822 | 1,018 |

Sandy River runs free, after dammed century
Well folks, it happened last Friday. High flows blew out the last remaing earthworks of the old Marmot Dam, and the Sandy River now runs free once again.
The undamming era took a new step forward; this dam is now GONE. Not huge at 47 feet tall, but significant as it once produced enough power for 12,000 homes. The biggest dam yet removed in Oregon.
We knew this was going to happen, it was all planned. I invite you to take a moment and celebrate un-development for the sake of fish. It CAN and DOES happen.

The betrayal of Honduras
By José R. Cárdenas Wednesday, June 1, 2011 - 11:34 AM
"The Associated Press dispatch from Honduras this past weekend opens thus:
"The return of ousted former President Manuel Zelaya from exile Saturday brings Honduras' nearly two-year political crisis to an end and hope to one of the poorest nations in the Americas.""Sure. And if you believed that, you'd believe Fidel Castro is going to call for free and fair elections in Cuba next week.
"Only the willfully deluded or the dangerously naïve would believe that the return of the disgraced former president means anything more than increased civic disturbances, more violence, and more chaos in one of Latin America's poorest countries.
"Why? Because that is the way Hugo Chavez wants it.
"The Venezuelan autocrat has bankrolled the two-year exile of his puppet Zelaya, as well the international campaign to force the oligarch-turned-populist's return to Honduras. Chavez has never gotten over the fact that Zelaya's attempt to replicate the Chavez model in Honduras was cut short by his impeachment by the Honduran Congress and his removal from office by order of the country's Supreme Court for violating the country's Constitution and other illegal acts. (Zelaya's apologists insist on characterizing what transpired as a "military coup.")"
Read the rest of this excellent article at Foreign Policy.
Speaking of betrayals, at this moment I am reading that the Organization of American States (OAS) session to discuss the re-admittance of Honduras back to the arms of the OAS — which was supposed to be a slam-dunk with the exception of Ecuador — is now being delayed for two hours because Hugo Chávez is making a last minute demand that the Honduran 'golpistas' be brought to justice.

You need to tell the Freelancer.com via chat. I have a problem with my client before, then I ask Freelancer.com to cancel my project and it works. You need to ask them few times, though. And sometimes you need to try couple times before you can connect with the customer service.
That's a crime! You have the proof for reporting that client from the message, so get few pictures of them and send them as proof when the CS asked for proof.

A jury has found a former Honolulu prosecutor and her now-retired police chief husband guilty in a plot to frame a relative to silence him from revealing fraud that financed their lavish lifestyle, a case that shook the top levels of law enforcement.
The verdict came Thursday in what has been described as Hawaii's biggest corruption case.
Neither Katherine nor Louis Kealoha testified during the closely watched trial. Their defense attorneys argued the case was built on weak and circumstantial evidence.
Katherine Kealoha left the courthouse without commenting. Her husband said, "It's still a lot to take in." He thanked the community for "continued love and support."
The judge scheduled a bail hearing for Katherine Kealoha on Friday after a federal prosecutor asked that she be jailed.
"The Kealohas' extraordinary greed inspired astonishing corruption," said Robert Brewer, U.S. attorney for the southern district of California. Assistant U.S. attorneys from California prosecuted the case because federal prosecutors in Hawaii recused themselves. "These two were supposed to be the good guys. They were supposed to enforce the law — not break it."
In addition to conspiracy, the jury found both Kealohas guilty of three counts of attempting to obstruct an official proceeding and not guilty on one count of attempting to obstruct an official proceeding and one count of making false statement.
They were on trial over allegations they conspired with officers to frame her uncle for stealing their home mailbox.
Prosecutors say the Kealohas used officers from a secret police unit hand-picked by the chief to frame Gerard Puana for stealing their home mailbox to try to discredit him in a lawsuit he and his mother filed saying Katherine Kealoha stole money from them in a mortgage scheme.
Alexander Silvert, the federal public defender who represented Puana, said the verdict sends a strong message to law enforcement.
"If you use your power to frame an innocent man you will be held accountable," Silvert said.
The peculiar case of a mailbox reported stolen in 2013 from the Kealohas' home in an upscale Honolulu neighborhood led to a two-year federal investigation and corruption-related charges against a couple at the top levels of law enforcement.
Prosecutors said Katherine Kealoha bilked relatives, banks and children whose trusts she controlled and spent the stolen money on Maserati car payments, a firefighter lover and a hotel breakfast banquet when her husband became police chief.
A judge split a 2017 federal indictment into two trial trials. The mailbox conspiracy is the first trial, which began in May. A second trial will focus on bank fraud and identity theft charges. Katherine Kealoha also faces a third trial for a separate indictment alleging she and her pain physician brother dealt opioids.
The jury also found Lt. Derek Hahn and Officer Bobby Nguyen guilty of conspiracy.
Retired major Gordon Shiraishi was found not guilty.
Nguyen was married to Katherine Kealoha's niece and lived in the couple's pool house, while Hahn was Katherine Kealoha's partner in a solar business and Shiraishi was in the same recruit class as Louis Kealoha.
Puana testified that he and his niece were once close and that he trusted her enough to invest money with her.
Jurors watched a deposition from Puana's mother, Florence Puana, now 99. Because of her failing health, she was unable to testify in person.
The Puanas say Katherine Kealoha came to them with an idea about taking out a reverse mortgage on her grandmother's home to help buy a condo her uncle wanted. Kealoha said she would consolidate her debts — which prosecutors described as massive — and promised her uncle and grandmother that she would pay off the loan.
She used the money to buy her uncle's condo, but instead of paying off the loan, she drained about $150,000 that was left over in about six months, FBI forensic accountant Laurice Otsuka testified. Kealoha used it on personal expenses, including a nail salon visit, a Maui resort bill and Elton John concert tickets, Otsuka said.
A statement from the Puana family said they find no joy or comfort in the verdict. "The years of humiliation, heartache, tears and sorrow inflicted on Florence, Gerard and our family won't be assuaged or erased," the statement said. "Some family relationships have been completely, perhaps forever severed, while others still remain tenuous."
Much of the testimony also focused on the alias Alison Lee Wong, which prosecutors say Kealoha invented to forge documents.
Kealoha stepped down from the prosecutor's office as the investigation intensified and her husband agreed to retire, receiving a $250,000 settlement package that he agreed to pay back if convicted of a felony.
Honolulu Police Commission Chairwoman Loretta Sheehan said he doesn't have to pay back the money until he's exhausted his appeals.
"The criminal justice system in our town worked today," Sheehan said, adding that she understands that the police department wants to move on from this scandal. "But I don't think we should ever put this behind us."
Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard said in a statement the department is working hard to restore its reputation and the public's trust.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said after the verdict that "it's time to move on."
The wide-ranging investigation also has targeted Honolulu's elected prosecutor, who was Katherine Kealoha's boss, and the city's top civil attorney. Prosecuting Attorney Keith Kaneshiro and Corporation Counsel Donna Leong went on paid leaves of absence after the FBI informed them they are targets of the investigation. | <urn:uuid:979e8715-2717-4672-b21d-b0fb2ee0d7e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/post/hawaii-power-couple-convicted-plot-frame-relative | 2020-08-12T07:28:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738878.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812053726-20200812083726-00247.warc.gz | en | 0.97617 | 1,164 |
Last week, Laura Moye, Director of Amnesty International USA’s Death Penalty Abolition Campaign, traveled to Nashville to speak to students at Belmont University about the troubling case of Troy Davis. Troy’s mother, Virginia, was to have accompanied Laura to speak about her son’s case, but Mrs. Davis died suddenly just a few days before she was to arrive. Her sudden death at 65 is a sad reminder of the toll the death penalty takes on all those who are impacted by it.
Troy Davis was convicted in 1991 for the 1989 shooting of police officer, Mark Allen MacPhail, in Savannah, Georgia. Officer MacPhail had been working off-duty as a security officer at a Greyhound bus station. A homeless man had been beaten unconscious outside the adjoining Burger King. Officer MacPhail came running to his aid and was then shot by the person who had pistol-whipped the homeless man. An aggressive search for the perpetrator ensued, particularly intensive because the murder victim was a police officer.
Troy Davis was presented as an early suspect. The case against him relied on witness testimony, which has since unraveled. Ballistics found at the crime scene were offered at trial. Shell casings were linked to a non-fatal shooting earlier that evening that was pinned to Davis; however, no murder weapon was ever found. The GBI later held that the ballistics were not conclusive evidence, and the shooting victim has asserted that Davis was not the gunman. Since 1991, seven of the nine non-police witnesses against Davis have recanted or contradicted their trial testimony. The two remaining witnesses include a man who could not identify the shooter until the trial (two years after the crime) and initially felt certain only of the color of the shooter’s clothes. The other was the first to implicate Davis to the police, but has since been implicated as the actual perpetrator by more than nine witnesses in sworn affidavits.
In 2007, Davis received his first execution date following the denial of an appeal to the US Supreme Court. Since then he has been on a rollercoaster of execution dates, stays of executions and various court proceedings. A breakthrough came in September 2009, when the US Supreme Court ordered an unprecedented evidentiary hearing tasking him with the extraordinary charge of proving his innocence. That hearing, held by the federal district court in Savannah, took place in June 2010. Davis’ lawyers brought in several of the trial witnesses who admitted to giving false testimony, some alleging pressure from police. They also brought in witnesses against the chief alternative suspect, including a new eyewitness who is the relative of this suspect. Davis’ legal team still had no benefit of physical evidence to make their case. They had to rely on witnesses, including some, who at the time of the MacPhail murder and today, have criminal records. The state brought in several police officers and the former district attorney and his assistant, all of whom maintained that the investigation and prosecution they participated in was regular and without fault.
In August, the judge who oversaw the hearing ruled against Davis. Ultimately, he did not accept the credibility of the very witnesses used to convict Davis and made a judgment based on an “extraordinarily high standard” for “establishing innocence.” He expressed disappointment that Davis’s lawyers did not call the alternative suspect, though his lawyers submitted an affidavit demonstrating their attempt to serve him a subpoena. Davis’ test was to prove his innocence, not to establish serious doubts about his guilt or that a jury would not be able to convict him today. Interestingly, some of the original trial jurors have said that they would not have convicted Davis had they know what they know today. The judge’s ruling was lengthy and harshly worded; however, he admits that “the state’s case [against Davis] may not be ironclad.” Davis filed an appeal and a petition with the US Supreme Court challenging the ruling but was recently denied. Now, it is up to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole to decide whether or not to commute his death sentence.
With such extraordinary doubt in this case, we hope that you will consider signing on to Amnesty International’s petition asking for a commutation of Troy’s death sentence. An execution date could be set at any time so please act quickly.
Sign the petition.

Fairly, there are numerous aspects you would like to think about medications. All discount medicaments save money, but few online drugstores offer better deals than other online drugstores. There isn’t anything you can’t order online anymore. Remedies like Deltasone ordinarily is used to treat diseases such as eye problems. Glucocorticoids naturally occurring steroids, which are easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. There are varied drugs for every conditions. Cialis is a remedy prescribed to treat many illnesses. What do you already know about long term side effects of cialis? What consumers talk about how long does it take for cialis to take effect? A general sexual complaint among men is the erectile dysfunction. Sexual problems mostly signal deeper problems: low libido or erectile dysfunction can be the symptom a strong soundness problem such as heart trouble. Albeit the erectile disfunction itself isn’t necessarily dangerous, erectile disfunction is sometimes one of the early warning symptoms of other underlying heartiness conditions that can be very dangerous. Unfortunately nearly all over-the-counter medicines have sometimes dangerous aftereffects, from muscle aches to death. If you buy any erectile malfunction medicaments like Cialis, check with a physician that they are sure to take with your other drugs. Do not take unwanted medications. Take Cialis to your local chemist’s shop which will dispose of them for you. | <urn:uuid:bde91941-72e1-466d-bdc8-b10a05e865b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://tennesseedeathpenalty.org/2011/04/ | 2018-12-16T03:52:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376827252.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20181216025802-20181216051802-00027.warc.gz | en | 0.98012 | 1,224 |

Global Economic Integration: Opportunities and Challenges
Globalization as most economists understand it involves the increasing interaction of national economic systems. Of necessity, these systems are reasonably compatible and, in at least some important respects, market oriented. Certainly, market-directed capitalism has become the paradigm for most of the world, as central-planning regimes have fallen into disfavor since their undisputed failures around the world in the four decades following World War II. But there remains an active intellectual debate over the elements of capitalism that are perceived as most essential for a productive and civil society.
The practical manifestation of that debate can be seen in the stresses on our various political and legal systems. Opposing forces sometimes reflect significantly different underlying views of how societal values should be traded off, but more deeply, they often demonstrate different understandings of the way economies work.
Earlier in the postwar period, even we in the West believed that market failure was a common occurrence. To some, this belief justified significant state controls and frequent intervention on the microeconomic level to improve, as they saw it, the functioning of markets and to maintain economic stability and growth. At the macroeconomic level, an exploitable tradeoff between unemployment and inflation was widely believed to exist, and a little inflation was perceived as useful to prime the pump of prosperity.
Remnants of those views, of course, remain. But it is remarkable how far economic opinions and "conventional wisdom" have shifted since the 1970s. At the risk of some oversimplification, there has been a noticeable reversion in thinking toward nineteenth-century liberalism, with the consequence that deregulation and privatization have become policies central to much governmental reform.
To a marked degree, this shift in policy orientation reflects a response to technologically driven globalization. By lowering the costs of transactions and information, technology has reduced market frictions and provided significant impetus to the process of broadening world markets. Expanding markets, in turn, have both increased competition and rendered many forms of intervention either ineffective or perverse.
The recognition of this prosperity-enhancing sea-change in world markets and, in that context, of the counterproductive consequences of pervasive intervention has led many governments to reduce tariffs and trade barriers and, where necessary, to deregulate markets. These actions themselves have further promoted the very globalization that, interacting with advancing technology, spurred the deregulatory initiatives in the first place. The result of this process has been an advance and diffusion of technical change that has raised living standards in much of the world.
The conceptual battleground has moved far from the stark terms of the earlier capitalist-socialist confrontations. The failed experiment in central planning in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union after World War II has largely muted the arguments of most ardent socialist planners. The debate has now shifted to the nature and extent of actions appropriate for governments to take in order to ameliorate some of the less desirable characteristics that are perceived to accompany unfettered competition. But unlike in much of the nineteenth century, little unfettered competition is actually practiced in today's world. In large part, driven by the value standards of our societies that developed out of the Great Depression, some government regulation is practiced virtually everywhere.
Nonetheless, it has become generally understood that governmental actions often hinder incentives to investment by increasing uncertainties, boosting risk premiums, and raising costs. Even among those who deride the more unbridled forms of capitalism, there is a growing awareness that many attempts to tame such regimes are not without cost in terms of economic growth and the average living standards of a nation.
A recent manifestation of these costs can be seen in the lower level of high-tech capital investment in continental Europe, on average, and in Japan, relative to that in the United States. Arguably, this outcome has resulted to an important degree from the particular legal structures and customs that govern labor relations in much of Europe and Asia. By choice over the decades, Europe, for example, has endeavored to protect its workers from some of the presumed harsher aspects of free-market competition. To discourage layoffs, discharging employees was made a difficult and costly process in comparison with that in the United States. By law and by custom, American employers have faced many fewer impediments in recent years to releasing employees.
This difference is important in our new high-tech world because much, if not most, of the rate of return from the newer technologies results from cost reduction, which on a consolidated basis largely means the reduction of labor costs. Consequently, legal restraints on the ability of firms to readily implement such cost reductions lower the prospective rates of return on the newer technologies and, thus, the incentives to apply them. As a result, even though these technologies are available to all, the intensity of their application and the accompanying elevation in the growth of productivity are more clearly evident in the United States and other countries with fewer impediments to implementation.
Parenthetically and counterintuitively, the increased ease of layoffs in the United States, by reducing the risks of hiring by American employers, has contributed to a higher rate of employment in the United States compared with the vast majority of our major trading partners.
A particular irony in all this is that Europeans have been finding investments in the United States increasingly attractive and have accounted for an increasing share of the expanding total of foreign investment in U.S. direct and portfolio assets. In an effort to raise returns on domestic assets, many governments, European and others, are being led away from former dirigiste regimes to place greater reliance on markets. These governments see such a direction as necessary in order to enable their firms and workers to achieve the efficiencies required to meet the rigors of international competition. Recent plans for tax reforms, significant initiatives to create more flexible labor markets, and ongoing steps toward greater privatization in Europe and elsewhere underscore the extent to which views have changed in recent years.
But it is clearly pragmatism, not ideology, that is the main driving force in these evolving views. The structural policy adjustments in Western Europe and Japan, not to mention the efforts in China and Russia to move toward market capitalism, are being motivated, for the most part, by the evident ability of market competition to elevate living standards.
Thus, despite the meaningfully different views initially held of the way the world does, and should, work, powerful global competitive forces appear for now to be driving the economic and legal paradigms of many nations into closer alignment around a more competitive market capitalism.
It is by no means self-evident, however, that these trends will eventually lead to world convergence of economic regimes and to agreement about the conceptual framework that such a convergence would likely require. Certainly, the demonstrated ability of relatively unfettered markets to raise living standards over time creates considerable incentive for movement in that direction. But the speed of that movement--indeed, its very persistence over time--is far less clear. Even among liberal democracies, one can still find deep-seated antipathy toward free-market competition and its partner, creative destruction, to use Joseph Schumpeter's now famous insight. While recognizing the efficacy of capitalism to produce wealth, there remains considerable unease among some segments about the way markets distribute that wealth and about the effects of raw competition on the civility of society.
Thus, should recent positive trends in economic growth falter, it is quite imaginable that support for market-oriented resource allocation will wane and the latent forces of protectionism and state intervention will begin to reassert themselves in many countries, including the United States.
For now, the process of globalization is being aided by strengthening economic growth, which is clearly being driven by an accelerating application of new insights. Technological innovation, however, arguably comes in bunches as new discoveries feed on one another to push forward innovation until the effects of the initial impetus finally peter out. The vast electrification of our societies and, before that, the spread of the railroads helped elevate economic growth for a considerable period of time. But the pace of growth eventually slowed when full, or near-full, exploitation of the newer technologies was achieved.
The most recent wave of technology has engendered a pronounced rise in American rates of return on high-tech investments, which has led to a stepped-up pace of capital deepening and increased productivity growth. Indeed, it is still difficult to find credible evidence in the United States that the rate of structural productivity growth has stopped increasing. That is, even after stripping out the significant impact on productivity acceleration of the recent shape of the business cycle, the second derivative of output per hour still appears to be positive.
If we knew at what stage of the current technological wave we were in, we could, I assume, confidently project when these elevated rates of change in long-term earnings expectations, productivity growth, and, hence, wealth creation would return to a more historically average pace.
For it seems evident that once such a wave begins to crest, much of the self-reinforcing virtuous cycle presumably fades, as it has in the past. In such a scenario, full development of available technological synergies and their competitive deployment would damp the historically high prospective rates of return on capital investment and slow the pace of capital deepening. The level of structural productivity does not recede, of course, since once gained new technological insights are never lost, but its rate of increase would slow, and projections of long-term profits growth presumably regress back to earlier magnitudes.
From any perspective, of course, a tapering-off in productivity acceleration is inevitable at some point in the future. In the past few hundred years for which we have some rough productivity approximations, human ingenuity, even at its best, appears to have rarely produced annual productivity growth approaching double-digit rates for any protracted period of time.
Any notable shortfall in economic performance from the standard set in recent years, as I indicated earlier, runs the risk of reviving sentiment against market-oriented systems even among some conventional establishment policymakers. At present, such a shortfall is not anticipated, and such views are not widespread. But they resonate in some of the arguments against the global trading system that emerged in Washington, D.C., and Seattle over the past year. Although most of these arguments may be easy to reject, those of us who support continued endeavors to extend market-driven globalization need to understand and, if possible, address the concerns that give rise to the desire to roll back globalization.
How the convergence of economic systems toward the most market-oriented capitalist structures will fare if world long-term economic growth trends revert to historic norms is an intriguing question. In the meantime, this extraordinary period of technological advance continues to exhibit great vitality, bringing with it the prospect of further globalization, greater competition, and the resulting improvements in the economic welfare of most of the world's citizens. It is almost surely the case that, the longer the process of globalization of economic activity continues, the more firmly entrenched will be the gains we are beginning to realize.
But our past endeavors at long-term forecasting afford us little confidence in being able to anticipate seminal changes in global economics and finance. We cannot, however, refrain from reflection. That is what this conference is all about. | <urn:uuid:f3d5021e-2547-477b-ae31-da49699fcd6d> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.federalreserve.gov/BoardDocs/Speeches/2000/20000825.htm | 2016-07-27T03:46:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257825365.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071025-00232-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955788 | 2,304 |
About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
An obsessive compulsive disorder, also known as OCD, is an out of control approach of dealing with anxious thoughts. Often, the positive effects of rTMS treatments are already noticeable after ten treatments.
What is an obsessive compulsive disorder?
An obsessive compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder. Someone with an obsessive compulsive disorder has recurring obsessions or compulsions. Obsessions are often recurring intrusive thoughts, images or impulses. These thoughts are very persistent and cause fear. People with obsessive- compulsive disorder consider these thoughts meaningless. They know that these thoughts do not originate from outside, but from within themselves. The compulsive thoughts go far beyond worrying about daily affairs. The compulsive thoughts are often about diseases, dirt, God, sex, one’s own aggression and about making mistakes with a terrible outcome.
Compulsive thoughts and compulsions
In general, the compulsive thoughts arouse fear. To get rid of this fear, people perform actions. These actions become compulsive (compulsive acts), but ensure that the fear, unfortunately, often temporarily, diminishes. Common compulsive thoughts are about injuring someone else (stabbing, drowning), violent thoughts, blasphemous thoughts and doubts (for example, whether you have said the wrong thing).
The two most common compulsive acts are checking and cleaning (fear of stains). Compulsive acts can also occur in the head, such as counting things or praying over and over.
By performing the compulsive action, people with obsessive compulsive disorder think that the things they fear will not happen. When someone is afraid of infecting others or themselves, they will often wash their hands, arms and clothes, or clean the entire house in a certain way. People who are afraid of disasters will often continue to check the lights, taps, electricity sockets, gas taps and payment transfers. Also, having to touch things, placing items symmetrically, collecting or repetition are compulsive actions.
Treatment and results with rTMS
On average, a course of treatment at rTMS International consists of 20-30 treatments. This number is needed to achieve positive, long-term results. We will schedule an intake interview with you prior to treatment. This meeting is intended to get a clear picture of your compulsive complaints, based on which the practitioner can then make a good estimate of the chances of success of the treatment. For more than 60% of clients with a compulsive disorder, treatment with rTMS is successful and the complaints decrease on average by 60%. Curious about what rMTS can do for you? Contact us today.
The method in a nutshell
rTMS stands for repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). Through magnetic pulses, different brain areas are stimulated, which improves communication between these areas with the result that depression and compulsion related complaints disappear. The magnetic pulses originate from a coil that is placed over the head during treatment. Magnetic pulses are delivered to the brain for twenty minutes. | <urn:uuid:f4d742f2-48b7-4bdb-94ac-18d6069d53d0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://rtms-international.com/en/behandelingen/obsessive-compulsive-disorder/ | 2019-05-22T17:33:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256887.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20190522163302-20190522185302-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.94698 | 616 |

Dream Nite Club evicted from building in downtown Ann Arbor
Steve Pepple | AnnArbor.com
Police were on hand Wednesday morning while the Dream Nite Club was evicted from its now-former location on South Fourth Avenue.
The Ann Arbor Police Department requested that officers from the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department assist in the eviction, according to sheriff’s office spokesperson Derrick Jackson.
“We were asked under mutual aid based on allegations of the AAPD harassing them,” he said.
Owners Jeff Mangray and his son, Vickash Mangray, of Ypsilanti — who operate the club under the entity VR Entertainment Inc. — had not paid the rent, according to court records.
The order of eviction states $15,000 in rent was supposed to have been paid by May 1. If nothing was received, the eviction could go forward.
The notice was signed May 4 by Judge Chris Easthope.
Litigation involving the club also includes a $3 million federal lawsuit against the city. | <urn:uuid:d81f64ce-8783-4141-839e-06e119b8cc50> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.annarbor.com/news/dream-nite-club-evicted-from-building/?cmpid=mlive-%2540mlive-news-a2 | 2015-03-27T02:00:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131293580.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172133-00230-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986975 | 220 |

Programming at the Farm Center fosters research and the development of diverse and collaborative market strategies for a more stable food system.
The Farm Center is a long-standing working farm with an integrated educational curriculum and work-based learning program. This program gives interns a hands-on, farm-based experience in agricultural production and management as well as a solid understanding of the big picture challenges that affect NW agriculture and the communities it serves. Interns at the Farm Center will join the staff for forty hours a week to learn all aspects of planning, production, marketing and environmental stewardship. Interns will be paid for thirty-two hours for their time contributing to the daily operation of Cloud Mountain. The other eight hours per week will be spent learning, both indoors and outdoors, in discussions and in direct activities focused on specific topics as outlined in a syllabus. Activities will include some weekend Cloud Mountain workshops, held both on and off site.
It is important to be aware that Cloud Mountain Farm Center is a highly complex and productive working farm, and that the educational hours will be, as much as possible, integrated into the work week. Depending on production needs, some weeks might be less than eight hours and other weeks greater than eight hours. The educational sessions will use a diversity of formats:
presentation-based, discussion-based, and hands-on demonstrations and experiential activities. Interns accepted into the program will be asked to read selected books and articles, complete exercises, and invited to give short presentations on specific topics.
The eight-month, full-time, paid internship program is now accepting applications for 2014. A commitment to the full eight months is a requirement; however, if an applicant has a scheduling conflict, we will work to coordinate schedules if possible.
Application Materials and Timelines:
The 2014 Internship Program will run from February 3rd through October 8th.
Tuition for the Program is $3000. Interns are paid hourly WA state minimum wage (currently $9.19) for 32 hours of their 40-hour-per-week commitment.
There are limited scholarships available. If interested, please request a scholarship application form.

Your First Visit
Thinking about joining us sometime soon? We realize that engaging a new church can be intimidating at times. We want to help alleviate some of that potential uneasiness as best we can. Even though we may not be able to answer every question here, the following is intended to give you a sense of what you can expect when attending one of our Sunday Gatherings.
Auditorium and Livestream
We currently gather as a church each Sunday at 10am, in addition to live-streaming our service via YouTube for those individuals and families who need to utilize the digital platform. It's our hope that you'll experience an environment that's welcoming and authentic, as we spend about an hour and a half together. The dress is casual, the sermon is right out of the Scriptures, the music is intentionally paired with the preached Word, and we participate in the Lord's Supper weekly.
Parents have the option of keeping their kids with them in the service or checking them in to CrossPointe KIDS, where they'll be pointed to Jesus through Gospel-centered, engaging classes that meet kids where they are and saturate them with the love and truth of God's Word. Should you choose to do so, when you come into either entrance of our building, you'll be able to quickly check your kids in, as we have check-in stations established in both our kids wing and our main auditorium.
After check in, if you have nursery or preschool-age kids (walkers and up), one of our CrossPointe KIDS team members will direct you to our nursery/preschool classroom, where you can drop off your kids before the service begins. If you have school-age kids, they'll stay with you for the first part of the service, as we all worship together for the first couple of songs. As we move into the preaching of God's Word, your school-age kids will be dismissed to go with their classroom teacher and helper to their classroom. At the conclusion of our service, your kids will be ready and waiting to tell you about the fun they experienced and the gospel truths they learned!
We are currently using The Jesus Storybook Bible to teach our nursery and preschool-age kids that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation. For our school-age kids, we are currently using The Gospel Project for Kids curriculum, which gives kids a 3-year overview of the story of the Bible, helping them to see how the whole Bible points to Jesus and the gospel.
Beyond Sunday Gatherings
We believe wholeheartedly that the church is more than what happens on a Sunday. That is why we want to help get you connected. You can do so by returning for another Sunday Gathering, joining a Community Group, volunteering on a serving team(s), engaging in a Gospel relationship, or exploring becoming a partner. | <urn:uuid:4406d0a5-7242-4cfb-890d-038868935de6> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://crosspointeptc.com/next-steps/your-first-visit/ | 2023-03-20T16:27:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943484.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20230320144934-20230320174934-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.958964 | 596 |

Human behavior is one of the most important factors dictating the severity of pandemics for both the spread of the disease and the psychological impacts it triggers, such as anxiety, isolation, and uncertainty. Through an ongoing series of backgrounders, the Association for Psychological Science (APS) is exploring many of the psychological factors that can help the public understand and collectively combat the spread of COVID-19. Each backgrounder features the assessments, research, and recommendations of a renowned subject expert in the field of psychological science. This content has not undergone separate peer review and is provided as a service to the public during this time of pandemic.
Expert commentary from Chris Segrin, department head and Steve and Nancy Lynn Professor of Communication at the University of Arizona. His research focuses on social skills, relationship development and satisfaction, and such problems as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and marital distress.
A PDF of this material can be downloaded here.
What does psychological science say about socializing and isolation?
Human beings are inherently social creatures. We are not solitary; we thrive in the presence of other people, and separation from other people is harmful to most humans. Short-term social distancing is probably not a major problem for most people. However, over time this can become bothersome and stressful for people who long for meaningful face-to-face contact.
How does the human need for socializing relate in times of epidemics?
The human need for connection with other people is probably what fuels a lot of disease transmission. One could think of this as the price we pay for our inherently social nature.
How does social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic affect adults?
COVID-19 is increasingly requiring people to stay away from others, especially in settings where people normally congregate. Part of what makes the experience of a sporting event, seeing a concert or a movie in a theater, or eating at a restaurant meaningful is the presence of other people.
Even if we don’t interact directly with them, their presence makes the event a more substantial experience. (For example, imagine the reaction of a crowd when a batter hits a home run at a baseball game—it wouldn’t be the same if there was just one person in the stands.) Much of this is lost in the “stay at home” orders to slow the spread of COVID-19.
What are the 2-3 most relevant findings in your field that the public should know and understand?
When people’s actual or achieved social contact falls below their desired level of social contact, they begin to feel lonely and loneliness is stressful.
The stress of loneliness degrades mental and physical health (e.g., cardiovascular fitness, immune fitness) through disruption of recuperative behaviors (e.g., sleep, leisure) and corruption of health behaviors (e.g., substance use, diet, exercise).
What should people be aware of as this crisis endures?
As short-term “social distancing” starts to become long term, people need to make adjustments in their communication behaviors in the service of their mental health. For those who are not well versed in the use of communication technologies, now would be a good time to learn how to use them.
If there is someone in your life (e.g., an elderly relative) who is not tech savvy, use “low-tech” means to communicate with them (e.g., the telephone) and perhaps try to coach them on using more advanced technologies that they might have available but just haven’t learned (e.g., audio/video conferencing over the computer or smart phone).
Make a conscious effort to check in with people in your social network who live alone. They are particularly vulnerable at times like these.
What is the one message people should know that psychological science teaches us?
Practice PHYSICAL distancing, not SOCIAL distancing. The term “social distancing” has an unfortunate connotation and is actually not an accurate descriptor of what public health officials are trying to achieve. Meaningful social contact can occur in the absence of close physical contact.
Are there any published articles that are particularly insightful on these topics?

According to Wikipedia an heirloom tomato is an open-pollinated (non-hybrid) heirloom cultivar of tomato. Due to their incredible taste, heirloom tomatoes have become increasingly popular and more readily available in recent years.
This year we expanded our selection of heirlooms to include White Currant, Cuor di Bue, Caspian Pink, Green Zebra, Pineapple, Ananas Noire, Purple Russian, Mortgage Lifter and the famous Box Car Willie. The first week of June is a great time to plant tomatoes in Wisconsin. The soil is the perfect temperature, the weather is fully settled and our plants are strong and healthy. Come out today and pick up the varieties you would like to try. In a couple of months you’ll be so glad you did. | <urn:uuid:f19e6c11-b236-430f-8056-59d5007934f3> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.americasbestflowers.com/heirloom-tomatoes/ | 2018-07-22T05:00:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676593010.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180722041752-20180722061752-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.947622 | 168 |
As I was making my rounds before bed last night, it occured to me that all of this rushing around and fussing about to leave here is productive, yes, but surely headed for a meltdown of epic proportions. And I remembered the wonderful advice I got when Stewey was newly sick...be present with him and enjoy every moment.
Today I am going to sit in every room in my house and just...be. I'm going to look at the light and look at the little views and look at the dust bunnies running around having picnics...and just enjoy Chez Spinster a little bit longer before it's filled with moving men and chaos.
There are at least a thousand and one things I SHOULD be doing, but today I'm just going to take a break and live in my little house and drink my damn good cup of coffee and stitch my stitching and read a book and take a nap and cook a meal and smell the proverbial roses.
Tomorrow, I'll go stitch with Miss Jane at her church and then I'll come home and get back to work. Today, though...I'm going to play! | <urn:uuid:a44b35d5-42f0-4584-8526-a0667a960c1d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://spinsterstitcher.blogspot.com/2017/05/play-day.html | 2018-06-25T15:42:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267868135.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625150537-20180625170537-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.978083 | 232 |
Well, what do you make of this handsome chap? At the beginning of half term we drove down to Devon and stopped half way at The Dairy House in Semley near Shaftesbury. It is an Antiques Centre with lovely things to tempt you to part with your money.
We have been there a few times having discovered that the place existed via a blog.
The stock is spread over three floors - in several rooms.
There is a section which sells old books - Enid Blyton, A. A. Milne etc and there on a shelf above the books was this delightful dog - my heart melted as soon as I saw him and when I pointed him out to Our Daughter, she too thought the same - he just had to come home with us!
He's got an adorable face and has been well loved, which just adds to his charm! He now has pride of place in Our Daughter's bedroom.
Well, would you believe it next to the first dog was this one - "You can't leave him behind mum! He'd be so sad by himself! And he looks a bit like Charlie!" Charlie is our standard wire coated dachshund.
So - you can guess what happened - that one too came home with us!
He does look a bit like our dog, Charlie - scruffy but lovable.
Now we don't make a habit of spoiling Our Daughter - but would you believe it when we went to Lyme Regis at half term in a shop called Susie Cole was this lovely rabbit and her young one! "Please, please can I have it. I won't ask for anything again until Christmas!" (I didn't believe her - but they are lovely, aren't they?)
So, they came home with us too!
As I was taking photos of the cute dogs and rabbits to show you on this post I thought that I would show you some of the bears that sit on a chair that Our Daughter used to have in the living room when she was small but which is now in her bedroom with these bears on it as it is too small for her!
The cream bear came from a Charity Shop in Honiton last Autumn for £2.99. The orange and black bears were a Christmas present to Our Daughter and were made by Danielle from Pussman and Co - see my blog list for details. The yellow and blue knitted bear was £1 from a Saturday Market stall in Devon.
Looking at the first dog on this post which seems to me to be a terrier I thought that I would show you what I purchased for me recently in Honiton - a tin with dogs!
And finally, I thought that I would show you this tin that I purchased on our recent visit to Stratford.
On Sunday, Our Daughter went to a school friends Birthday Party which allowed me time to take these photos as I was tidying up - this reminds me I need to go and put another load of washing through. So, I'd better be off!
Until next time. | <urn:uuid:94b4aae5-fe81-41e9-90f2-4e3a84432e07> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://catsdogsandeiderdowns.blogspot.com/2011/03/toys-and-tins.html | 2017-11-18T04:20:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804610.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118040756-20171118060756-00140.warc.gz | en | 0.988379 | 625 |
Next up in my 2013 Veggie Girl Power Interview Series is the super fun, cool, rad, uber-talented, creative, down-to-Earth, everyone-loves-this-chick, vegan authority lady: Elizabeth Castoria..
Elizabeth Castoria is the former Editorial Director of VegNews Magazine. (She recently parted ways with VN after many years of amazing work there.) While I am sad that I won't get to read Elizabeth's awesome VegNews Editor's Notes anymore, I am super excited about her future projects!
Elizabeth is currently using her genius talents as the Managing Editor at KrisCarr.com AND she has her first book out spring 2014, exciting!
Elizabeth's Upcoming Book! All I know is that it is a vegan-themed book, I cannot wait for more details as her book publishing path unfolds. When can I pre-order this thing already??
Sidenote.. hooray that Elizabeth is working with KrisCarr.com (We all LOVE Kris Carr, yes? Crazy Sexy Cancer, see it, buy the books, join the fan-dom. Kris is an amazingly inspiring lady.) So happy Elizabeth is on Kris's team. Perfection.
Meeting Elizabeth! Last spring I was so happy to meet Elizabeth for the first time when I visited the VegNews office in San Francisco...
*VegNews office spring 2013, Elizabeth in red, lower center. (See more SF fun in my travel blogpost San Francisco: 19 Awesome Things From My Trip!)
Get to know Elizabeth Castoria!..
Veggie Girl Power Interview: Elizabeth Castoria, VegNews Magazine Editorial Director
Q1: Back to Basics. When and why did you go vegan? We love a good "this is why I went vegan" story.
Elizabeth: I was 17 and there was a really cute guy who was vegan, and I thought, yeah! I was already a vegetarian, and the more I learned about veganism, the more it made sense to me. It is far from the only major life decision that I made because of some dude.
Q2: Help a Girl Out. The vegan transition can be tough for some! What sisterly advice can you give to new or transitioning vegans?
Elizabeth: Veganism is the easiest thing in the world—if you want to do it. If you're doing it because someone tells you to or because you feel obligated to in some way, then it can be really, really challenging. Do what you want to. If that means eating one vegan meal per day for 10 years, that's better than no vegan meals ever.
Q3: Traveling Vegans. In your neck of the woods, what are the local vegan hot spots to visit/shop at/dine at? Traveling vegans want to know!
Elizabeth: San Francisco is pretty great for vegans. Gracias Madre is awesome, Saha is stellar (not totally vegan but totally worth it!), Millennium is magical, and there are excellent vegan options at non-vegan places such as Ken Ken Ramen, Kronnerburger, Mau, Curry Up Now, and Green Chile Kitchen.
Q4: On Food. What is a typical day of vegan eating for you? Fave eats?
Elizabeth: I'm basically an embarrassment to veganism when it comes to what I actually eat because it's usually pretty boring and quick. I love a chocolate-banana smoothie with a little Vega in the morning, and lunch or dinner is usually kale salad. Thrilling, I know! I do eat out pretty often, which is when things get more interesting, but at home I'm a sucker for pasta with pesto and easy stuff like that.
Q5: Words of Wisdom. Here is your chance to create your own quote. "Veganism is....."
Elizabeth: Veganism is rad. Try it out.
Q6: On What is Hot. Share people, brands, books and more that you like to rave about.
Elizabeth: Well, obviously there's 365 Vegan Smoothies, which might actually get me out of my choco-banana routine! I'm really excited about Isa Does It, and anything that Brian Patton (aka The Sexy Vegan) does is magic. I feel like there's so much great stuff out there right now, there's really never been a better time to be vegan. And everything that you eat/read/or do is better when you're also wearing a sweatshirt from Vaute Couture—they're the softest and best ever.
Q7: Soapbox! Go for it ...Soapbox away...
Elizabeth: I am always in favor of more Justin Timberlake, so that's first and foremost. For me, being vegan is about celebrating all the incredible opportunity we have to do something that aligns with our values, is delicious, and betters the world. So, basically, it's like a non-stop party.
Q8: What upcoming projects are you working on? Please share!
Elizabeth: I'm at work on a book about which I am very, very excited, and of course forthcoming issue of VegNews!**
Q9. Smoothie love! I would love to hear about YOUR favorite smoothie recipe..
Elizabeth: Here's what I drink every single morning:
1 frozen banana
1-1/2 cups vanilla coconut milk
1/2 scoop chocolate Vega
Q10. Do you think veganism is the diet of the future? Why?
Elizabeth: It's actually documented that veganism is the diet of the future, so yes. (And by "documented" I obviously mean that in the second episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Riker comments that they "no longer enslave animals for food.")
**(Update: Elizabeth is currently working at KrisCarr.com as mentioned at top!)

A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO EASE STIFF JOINTS.
Last year I developed a problem bending my left knee whilst standing…I could feel and hear it grinding! A scan showed that I had worn away cartilage from the top of my shin bone.
I was most unhappy because it interfered with my dancing and my Yoga but I discovered a simple, inexpensive way to ease the problem!
Beef gelatine from the supermarket!
I use it in two ways.
- Dissolve a third of a sachet in about 3 inches of water (just off the boil) and drink it. (it tastes neither nasty nor nice!) then I use the same mug for my hot drink to ensure I also get the gelatine which has been left coating the sides.
- I do this 2 or 3 times a day.
- Steep 4 Clipper Green Tea bags in half a pint of near-boiling water. Steep them well.
- Reheat the tea and dissolve 2 sachets of gelatine.
- Squeeze 2 oranges and make up to half a pint with cold water.
- Add this and the orange pulp when the tea has cooled.
I add some jelly to my fresh fruit and natural yoghurt breakfast and I can also eat it when I don’t have time to make the drink.
Some cartilage has regrown because I can bend quite a way before it starts to “catch”. There is no pain and I can do most of my Yoga postures again.
This gelatine contains Sulphite – which is quite useful because from sulphite, which is toxic, we make sulphate, which is invaluable. Sulphate is anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant. It is needed for making stomach acid and digestive enzymes, so that we can break down the food we eat into useful components. 🙂
Muscle Rub from Modere is also excellent at relieving pain in inflamed, swollen joints because it removes lactic acid from muscles and cools inflamation with peppermint. It isn’t merely a pain killer.

This friendly spider just wanted to be in the selfie these friends were taking.
The girls werentso keen.
Itbegs an interestingquestion: what do you do if a spider wants to be in your selfie but you dont want him there?
Solution 1: Dont take the selfie. Youll have plenty of opportunities over the course of your life to see your own face.
Solution 2: Let the spiderbe hes just being friendly.
Solution 3: Learn the language of the spider. Ask him kindly if he can wait outside the shot until after the selfie has been taken.
Solution 4: Kill the spider. Get spider juice on your sheets.
This is what happenedwhen these girls spotted one in their photo.
Step1: Take a selfie. Yay. Woo. All the celebs are doing it.
Step 2: Spot the spiderin the photo. Look concerned.
Step 3: Seek confirmation.
Step 4: Look shocked. A spider? In YOUR selfie?! The nerve.
Step 5: Start screaming. Your mouth will look like a fun place to explore for the spider.
Step 6: Continue screaming. Scream louder. Confuse your friend.
Step 7: Alert your friend to the presence of saidspider. Perhaps she will have a less ridiculous response.
Step 8: Put your hand over your mouth in case the spider fancies exploring.
Step 9: Both scream. Why not? Its worked well so far.
Step 10: Squeeze in another cheeky selfie.
Step 11: Upload the whole thing to the internet.
Along came a spider and sat down beside them... | <urn:uuid:74c03c8c-d5e6-4a7a-aca8-3e585086ef0a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.i-am-bored.com/2015/07/spider-photobombs-girls-selfie-pix.html | 2017-06-25T17:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320545.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625170634-20170625190634-00587.warc.gz | en | 0.899241 | 339 |

LESLIE: Robert in Alabama listens to The Money Pit on WRJM and you have a question about mudjacking. What can we do for you?
ROBERT: Well, when I was in California, before I moved here, I had some specific applications but … and because I wanted to use it there, I wanted to find out more about how to find someone who does it and who regulates it and whether there are any conventions where you can kind of learn about it where they might go.
TOM: Now, is there a specific problem that you’re having with your house that’s causing you to investigate this?
ROBERT: Well, I made the mistake of digging underneath a footing, one time. And the city told me, “Okay, you’ve got to bring the footing down to the “underskirt girth” and somehow seal in the dirt on the inside.” And I used some plastic things to push the dirt up underneath the house and then made the footing sound. But there was still a void in there; I knew there was a void. And I wondered if I should drill through the hole in my bathroom and pump some clay in to fill that void; because I knew that, even though the footing was sound, now, on the edge of the house that that void was (inaudible) out there.
TOM: Well, how much of an area of the house that is not supported are you concerned about?
ROBERT: Well, I think it would have been anywhere from 10 square feet at most.
TOM: That’s a pretty big area. Okay. Well, I mean mudjacking is a technique and, usually, what happens is the mudjacker will use like a sandy loam soil; sometimes there’s an epoxy mix. They basically get an access point and then use a pressurized delivery mechanism, like a hydraulic hose, to fill in the area and, hopefully, lift the house. Now, in your case, it sounds like you don’t need to lift it; you just need to stabilize it.
In terms of how do you find the right pro for that, well, there are specialists that do this around the country. If I had a serious structural problem and I was going to rely on this as a repair mechanism, I would probably hire a structural engineer that would specify exactly what kind of material needs to be used and where it needs to be placed and certify that it was supported properly.
And, if you have a building code dispute, that is probably one of the only ways that you will satisfy your code official is to have a design professional certify that the correct material was used and that it was installed properly. Because the contractor – unless he has that kind of design expertise and the license to go with it – his word, even though he may be an experienced pro, is just not going to cut it when it comes to code officials. Typically, you’re going to want to have an architect or an engineer specify that repair.
And also, if you ever decide to sell the house, if you have a report from that design pro, that can be very valuable if the issue ever comes up in the transaction in terms of …
LESLIE: Well, it gives you a pedigree on what’s exactly happened to maintain the stability of the house, so that when you do go to sell and the person says, “Hey, my inspectors noticed something weird,” you can say, “I have all the documentation and it was done properly to code.”
TOM: As opposed to, “This guy Joe squirted some stuff in there and it’s okay.” (laughing)
TOM: You know what I mean? So that’s the best way to do it. I commend you for trying to find the school of certified mudjackers. I’m not aware that that exists. But a design engineer, a structural engineer or an architect could specify that repair for you and make sure it’s done right. And those guys are probably going to know …
LESLIE: (overlapping) Well, and the structural engineer would know someone.
TOM: Yeah, exactly. They’re probably going to know who can … who can do that job in your area. I hope that helps.
ROBERT: It certainly does.
TOM: Okay, Robert.

I feel really bad right now. I've realized that I've let my MC down. I just received some feedback -- really good, thoughtful feedback, from people who know their stuff. It was what I needed to hear, but not what I really wanted.
It turns out, that at least in my introduction, my MC is coming across as wimpy and unlikeable. How upset he'd be if he knew people thought this! I know he's not that way. How did I manage to make him come across as such? I'm the translator between him in my head and the outside world. I'm the one who needs to show everyone that he really is a good guy. I like him a lot. It's important to me that other people do, too. And I've let him down.
So now the real work begins. Revising. Editing. Chopping. Adding. I have to re-work this entire introduction. My whole story depends on an event in this introduction. This is some major reconstruction I've got to do. It is quite daunting. But I have to do it. I owe it to my MC.

So it sure works, but I just like getting the files where I expect them. Cuts out other steps later.
My original solution is more useful for downloading a whole distribution which does have a directory tree. This works well for FTP but for HTTP, it downloads other website files you are not interested in. Not good. So I made an improvement.
wget -m -nH -nd -A .txz http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/13.0/
This will only download the files in the specified directory that end in .txz.
Am I missing anything? What is the problem with ascending to the parent directory? Does that do something nasty I shouldn't be doing? I'm thinking this is a really good solution now.

Many institutions of higher education have embraced various technology to promote international education efforts on campus. Kansas State University is one institution that has highlighted their international efforts by podcast. My colleague Sara Thurston-González, (Director of the International Student and Scholar Services at Kansas State University) leads off this podcast on the “Buddies” program on campus. How are other institutions using technology to promote their internationalization efforts? | <urn:uuid:da6c8e7b-593b-46fc-be48-903e4225cc41> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://ihec-djc.blogspot.com/2009/01/k-state-podcast-on-international.html | 2016-05-28T23:56:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049278244.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002118-00037-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945917 | 94 |
Yesterday, BNP Paribas and U.S. prosecutors finally settled after months of negotiations over the bank’s “Tour de Fraud.” BNP will pay an $8.9 billion fine — the largest the U.S. has ever levied against a foreign bank — fire or discipline over 50 employees (many of whom had already left the bank or “retired”), and plead guilty to criminal charges that it violated U.S. sanctions by providing dollar-clearing services in Iran, Sudan, and Cuba. The bank will be barred from conducting certain dollar-clearing operations for a year, starting in January 2015, and from clearing transactions for other outside banks in New York and London for two years. The WSJ has a good summary of what that means for the bank and its clients.
Lars Machenil, BNP’s CFO, says the fine will not significantly hamper the bank’s ability to provide services or pay out the expected dividends to shareholders. BNP’s share price, which has fallen about 15% since news of a possible penalty first broke in February, rose about 4% today, closing at $51.33. George Hay at Breakingviews thinks the bank’s finances seem okay:
Factoring in net income likely to be generated by BNP by the end of this year, and $1.1 billion already provisioned against the U.S. fine, the bank could still muster a 10.1 percent core Tier 1 ratio under Basel III rules, even if it pays a dividend. If it scraps dividends altogether, the ratio would jump to 10.5 percent. That’s still higher than where peers like Société Générale are now.
But this is still going to hurt. The Financial Times’ Lex thinks that the year-long suspension could lead to an unusual amount of trouble for BNP Paribas in a way that other fined banks haven’t seen. It will force some clients to move their assets — assets that may not come back to BNP after the year is over. The Economist says that even aside from the bank’s money troubles, BNP’s reputation has been scuttled by its decision to do business with some of the world’s most brutal regimes. While U.S. regulators often prefer to hand out “punishments that don’t do any harm,” says Matt Levine, ”this punishment actually sounds reasonable: If BNP did a lot of sanctions violating in your Geneva office and your oil financing business, why not make it stop using dollars in those businesses for a while?”
French politicians, of course, are not pleased, accusing the U.S. of being unreasonable. President Francois Hollande asked President Obama to go easy on BNP when the two met for D-Day anniversary celebrations last month. Walter Kielholz,the chairman of reinsurance group Swiss Re, says European bankers and investors are tired of being pushed around by American regulators. Mohamed El-Erian questions whether cases like this can give the impression of a political vendetta against foreign banks, and thus “increase uncertainty, discourage banks from funding productive long-term investments, and fuel anti-globalization and isolation — all of which hampers and distorts extending credit to small- and medium-sized firms that are major drivers of employment and innovation.”
The one thing that probably won’t be changing at BNP: its chairman, Baudoin Prot (he served as CEO from 2003-2011). For all the fallout, Prot isn’t likely to leave (or lose) his job anytime soon, says Pierre Briancon at Breakingviews, but he absolutely should. “That Prot’s resignation was not sought by U.S. investigators is irrelevant: decency is not something one should be forced into,” writes Briancon. — Jordan Fraade

Nitin Varma, Director, Commercial and Mid-Market, India and SAARC, Palo Alto Networks, speaks on how SME IT requirements differ from large enterprises and how are they treading the digital transformation path
How are SME’s IT requirements different from large enterprises?
SMEs contribute 45 percent of India’s GDP, according to a report released by MasterCard and the Confederation of All India Traders. SMEs are increasingly becoming a potential segment paving way for IT opportunity. The best part is that many SMEs are digital in their approach and do not carry the baggage of legacy systems or products. This makes them ready to adapt new technologies far more easily due to their agile mindsets and nimble teams.
However, nothing comes without challenges. SMEs often face roadblocks like lack of awareness, professionals with relevant skill sets, and adequate funding, which could hinder technology adoption.
On the other hand, large companies would involve numerous stakeholders with varied opinions, legacy systems, resistance to change, or capital expenditure. But once the decision is made, the changeover becomes obvious.
What is the level of seriousness you observe among SMEs for digital transformation in order to take their business to the next level?
The last couple of years have seen SMEs recognising technology as a key business driver, but its technology adoption is still low, as compared to other countries with larger number of SME setups. The sector is contributing 69 percent of total employment in India. Growing penetration of technology and government initiatives like Digital India, National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme, and Skill India will offer these SMEs to bring the convenience of digitalisation to the masses.
Last year, the sector witnessed a 60 percent boost in business through mobile applications, which shows that the tech-savvy way of business has been well received by the industry. Partners around the world are augmenting their businesses with managed services. There is a huge expansion into security services, managed detection and response (MDR) services and managed cloud. According to Gartner, by 2021, at least half of small and midsize enterprises will use managed services to secure their infrastructure, up from less than 20 percent in 2018.
SMEs would need managed security service providers to help them rapidly ramp up and scale their cloud environment while deploying security measures designed to reduce the attack surface and secure critical application. MSSPs offer security services which have immense opportunities in front of them and stand to gain a significant competitive advantage.
Security is a major pain area for SME organisations. How are the leading security vendors supporting SMEs with cost-effective and secure solutions?
Security is indeed a major concern for SMEs as they are embarking on digital technologies. SMEs need an integrated platform that reduces operational complexity and gives security teams confidence they can use best practices and minimise human error.
SME segment is a critical market to us both in tier-1 and 2 cities. Therefore, with a strong integrated security platform we align with our loyal partner ecosystem with local presence which helps to spread security awareness and create vertical specific security offerings for our customers in SME space. | <urn:uuid:40d3a2ab-238e-4da4-bd2f-0fc47d5f41d2> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.itvarnews.com/2019/04/03/many-smes-are-digital-in-their-approach-palo-alto-networks/ | 2019-10-14T22:01:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986655310.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20191014200522-20191014224022-00407.warc.gz | en | 0.950686 | 636 |

Process or Product Monitoring and Control
6.4. Introduction to Time Series Analysis
6.4.2. What are Moving Average or Smoothing Techniques?
|When computing a running moving average, placing the average in the middle time period makes sense||
In the previous example we computed
the average of the first 3 time periods and placed it next to
period 3. We could have placed the average in the middle of
the time interval of three periods, that is, next to period 2. This
works well with odd time periods, but not so good for even time
periods. So where would we place the first moving average when
M = 4?
Technically, the Moving Average would fall at t = 2.5, 3.5, ...
To avoid this problem we smooth the MA's using M = 2. Thus we smooth the smoothed values!
|If we average an even number of terms, we need to smooth the smoothed values||
The following table shows the results using M = 4.
This is the final table:
|Double Moving Averages for a Linear Trend Process|
|Moving averages are still not able to handle significant trends when forecasting||
Unfortunately, neither the mean of all data nor the moving average of
the most recent M values, when used as forecasts for the next
period, are able to cope with a significant trend.
There exists a variation on the MA procedure that often does a better job of handling trend. It is called Double Moving Averages for a Linear Trend Process. It calculates a second moving average from the original moving average, using the same value for M. As soon as both single and double moving averages are available, a computer routine uses these averages to compute a slope and intercept, and then forecasts one or more periods ahead. | <urn:uuid:be2d02e1-b3e6-4a9e-87f8-34eca0e55e2c> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmc/section4/pmc422.htm | 2017-01-23T12:31:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560282926.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095122-00365-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.897753 | 374 |

OpenJDK Bylaws Published
Mark Reinhold has published a draft of the new bylaws for OpenJDK.
Mark Reinhold has published a draft of the OpenJDK Bylaws. The bylaws are based on the interim guidelines for Groups and Projects, established in 2007. Reinhold stresses that this is a draft, and he requests feedback from the community before the final version is published.
The draft currently defines an initial Governing Board to oversee the “structure, operation and overall healthy of the Community.” The initial board will consist of Oracle’s Adam Messinger and Mark Reinhold, Mike Milinkovich from Eclipse, IBM’s Jason Gartner and Doug Lea. These members will serve for one calendar year, after which they’ll be nominated and elected in a process that will be open to all “key members” of the community. Red Hat’s Mark Wielaard has picked fault with this initial board, pointing out that Adam Messinger, Jason Gartner and Mark Reinhold are there by appointment, which places the independent candidates in the minority. The original OpenJDK Charter gave the majority of seats to elected representatives.
The draft also forbids non-Contributors to submit “anything larger than a simple patch,” and defines a Contributor as someone who has signed the Oracle Contributor agreement, or who is employed by an organisation that has signed the agreement or its equivalent. Simon Phipps calls this copyright “explicitly aggregated solely in Oracle’s hands,” but is pragmatic about this restriction: “without it I doubt that either IBM or Apple would be involved in OpenJDK since it would be impossible for Oracle to privately license the resulting Java implementation to them under terms they would accept (neither of them like GPL).”
The draft will be revised based on the community’s feedback, until 3rd March 2011, after which the finished draft will be put to the OpenJDK Community members for ratification via an “appropriate democratic process.” | <urn:uuid:8592e5d6-d24b-419c-94d1-88b07208992d> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://jaxenter.com/openjdk-bylaws-published-102895.html | 2019-02-20T11:12:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247494741.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20190220105613-20190220131613-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.956757 | 431 |
Textes berbères du Maroc central (Traductions en anglais – Translations into English)
Tome 2: Récits, contes et légendes berbères dans le parler des Beni-Mtir et Choix de versions berbères (Parlers du Maroc central)
Compiled by: Arsène Roux †. Translated by: Harry Stroomer. Edited by: Harry Stroomer. Series edited by: Harry Stroomer.
Series: Berber Studies Volume 432014
Text language(s): English
Format: 17 x 24 mm
The well-known French berberologist Arsène Roux (1893–1971) has devoted a great part of his life to the research and teaching of Berber in Morocco, in particular Middle Atlas and Tashelhiyt Berber.
The present volume contains two text collections that Roux has used in his teaching of Middle Atlas Berber during the second half of the French Protectorate period of Morocco (1935–1956). The first collection, Récits, Contes et Légendes Berbères dans le parler “Beni Mtir“ was originally a stencilled book of iii + 101 pages, produced in 1942, with black cardboard hard covers. The number of stencilled copies is unknown, nor do we know how many of them were put at the disposal of Roux’s pupils. As indicated in the title, the texts are all in the Beni Mtir (Berber: Ayt Ndir) dialect, a tribe in the region of the town of El-Hajeb in the province of the same name. (Note that the Tashelhiyt Berber counterpart of this book has been published as volume 5 of Berber Studies, see the link below.)
The original of the second collection, Choix de versions Berbères, parlers du Maroc Central (Tamazirht) was produced in 1952, with a flexible sand coloured paper cover. It was a book stencilled in an unknown number of copies. This book contained iv + 44 pages and was distributed among the pupils of Roux, too. It contains very short texts from the oral literay tradition, as well as some ethnogphraphic texts.
These two collections have been published as volume 18 of the series Berber Studies, together with their respective original introductions and tables of content (see link below). For the present edition these collections have been translated into English. The subseries Textes berbères du Maroc central will be continued at irregular intervals.
In the main series we published further Berber text editions, including a catalogue of the Fonds Arsène Roux, as well as ethnographic texts of Central and Southwest Morocco, see the following links:
- La vie berbère par les textes
- Tashelhiyt Berber Texts from the Ayt Brayyim, Lakhsas and Guedmioua Region (South Morocco)
- Textes berbères des Ait Izdeg (Moyen Atlas marocain) – Textes originaux en fac-similé avec traductions
- Textes berbères du Maroc central (Textes originaux en transcription)
- An Anthology of Tashelhiyt Berber Folktales (South Morocco)
- Catalogue des archives berbères du « Fonds Arsène Roux »
- Tashelhiyt Berber Folktales from Tazerwalt (South Morocco)
- Tashelhiyt Berber Texts from Ida u Tanan (South Morocco)

Marvel Puzzle Quest Hack – Free ISO-8, Hero Points, Command Points, Health Pack and Shields
Marvel Puzzle Quest Hack Tool for Android, iOS Facebook and Amazon Phone You Can Get Here Unlimited Free ISO-8, Hero Points, Command Points, Health Pack and Shields With No Survey No Human Verification
Finally, we are releasing Marvel Puzzle Quest Cheats. If you-were to pair Puzzle Quest gameplay and Marvel’s universe this is probably what you-would get. This is basically a Puzzle Quest video game with all of the lovable characters from Marvel comic books. This-may sound a little bit strange but it actually works pretty damn well! You can play it for free on iOS, Android, Facebook, and Steam.
It’s the strongest point is probably its weakest link at the same-time (if you exclude all of the complicated currencies which you can luckily obtain using Marvel Puzzle Quest Hack).
The game’s story is the only thing that sets it apart from Puzzle Quest game. It takes place sometime after the events of The Pulse, the mysterious event that introduced the world to the existence of ISO-8 or Isotope-8. As we all know, ISO-8 is super powerful material that has the ability to make all of the already powerful heroes and villains even stronger.
For this property alone it is highly sought out by the bad-guys seek to use its power for who knows what kind of nefarious plots and schemes.
But the bad guys are not the only ones interested in Isotope-8. S.H.I.E.L.D. is also trying to get their hands on it but they are not doing particularly well. The main problem here is that Norman Osborn which was formerly known as the Green Goblin, who managed to get a seat at the throne of power is using his H.A.M.M.E.R. and their political influences over the world’s governments to boot down Nick Fury and his movement.
This is a very good story for every Marvel fan but If you haven’t played previous Marvel games or if you are not that familiar with the world and its universe itself, you probably have no idea what you just read.
If the game doesn’t really try to explain anything to the newcomers and if you haven’t followed the story, you won’t be understanding any of it, unfortunately.
Be that as it may, this story has a simple yet charming presentation. The events are unfolding in the comic like dialogues with pictures of actors and speech bubbles with their dialogue lines. All of this contributes a lot to the authenticity of this game making it feel truly like something made by Marvel.
The gameplay itself is probably the highest stakes game of match-3 that the world has ever seen. A team of heroes is faced with a villain and their henchmen. Rather than fighting they’ve decided to do things the more civilized way, by gambling. You and your enemy are both taking turns in trying to align as many of the same icons in a line as possible. The more you combine the greater the effect.
Now, we know that this is not something particularly interesting or something that can last and keep us occupied for a while. Fortunately, that’s not all there is when it comes to gameplay mechanics. There are also colors that you need to worry about. Matching up a set of icons with the right colors in a line will charge up your superheroes powers. Once it’s full it will either do notable amounts of damage to your enemy or shift the tide of battle in your favor in one way or another.
Be careful because you’re not the only one who can do this and the villains also have their own superpowers to back them up. And the AIin this game is not to be taken lightly. It is ever-changing and “evolving” so expect to see the enemies coming up with new tactics all the time.
So, what can you do to make the game easier for yourself?
Marvel Puzzle Quest Hack gives you free ISO-8, Recruit Tokens and Command Points!

Last year, M and I attended the Intern Queen’s first party in NYC. Lauren Berger aka the Intern Queen has been featured on our site in the past, answering questions for those either looking for internships or career advice. The Intern Queen threw her first bash in NYC for interns to meet and mingle and this year she’s doing it again on July 31st at 404 NYC on 10th Ave.
The party includes a panel of speakers from Ogilvy, CBS, McGraw Hill and Viacom who will discuss what they look for out of their interns and much more. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with hundreds of students interning at different places and to meet internship coordinators that just might change your life.
If attending, you can RSVP at internqueenparty.eventbrite.com.

Lakers 97 – Nets 89
The Nets started with Jim McIlvaine and that didn’t did stop Shaquille O’Neal. So on came Evan Eschmeyer and he fouled out.
“Who else were they going to put on me, [Gheorghe] Muresan? I’d do the same thing to him,” O’Neal said.
Down the stretch, the option that may have made the most sense for the Nets was Tony Soprano, sitting in the front row of the Meadowlands last night disguised as actor James Gandolfini.
But fuhgeddaboutit — even that wouldn’t have worked. A real pattern was emerging. The Lakers went inside to Shaq again and again and again and nothing could stop him.
O’Neal went inside and the Lakers took off when he scored their first six points and 10 of their initial 12 in the fourth quarter en route to his 35-point rampage that overwhelmed the Nets and brought the Lakers a 97-89 victory that halted New Jersey’s upset winning streak at two.
Anyone who still can’t figure out why Phil Jackson snubbed the Nets and went West should swim the Hudson River with a barbell necklace.
In addition to Shaq’s effort, the Lakers got 21 points from Kobe Bryant and 15 from Glen Rice, to help sink the Nets, who play in Miami tonight.
“He is just a great player. He put the entire team on his back and brought them home to a victory,” Eschmeyer said of O’Neal.
“He got 35 points and I was out there for 20.”
While the Lakers (42-11) rode Shaq’s inside might, the Nets (21-32) were hurling — and for the most part, missing — jump shots. From 3-point range, they were a dismal 2-of-17. From like six feet on in, Shaq was 15-of-26.
Still, Stephon Marbury, the second-best player on the court, hauled the Nets on his shoulders once again. He had 17 of his 33 points in the third quarter, then hit the first basket of the fourth. The Nets, who also got 18 points from Kendall Gill and 16 rebounds from Keith Van Horn, were within seven points of the Lakers.
“We started to get momentum but we couldn’t stay at a high,” said Marbury, who made 11 of 21 shots.
O’Neal (13 rebounds) had a lot to do with that.
“He’s OK. He might have a future in this league,” deadpanned McIlvaine.
Nets are trying to make something happen before tomorrow’s trading deadline. Jamie Feick, who played three minutes last night for a total of 17 in three games, is actively being shopped.
He has been linked to deals for Cleveland’s Andrew DeClercq or Danny Ferry, Toronto’s Michael Stewart and the Clippers’ Maurice Taylor. Nets may try to revive talks with Clips for the free-agent-to-be but last night little seemed likely.
“We’re no further along than we have been,” said GM John Nash. “What we’re doing is revisiting conversations we’ve had with teams over the past couple weeks and months, but we don’t anticipate at the moment that anything of a major nature is going to occur.” | <urn:uuid:b78967dd-2756-4690-8cdb-2fe54e94ce04> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://nypost.com/2000/02/23/shaq-attack-drops-nets/ | 2018-07-16T05:52:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589179.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20180716041348-20180716061348-00002.warc.gz | en | 0.972718 | 755 |
Renato Sanches is waiting to see how the transfer window develops at FC Bayern Munchen before deciding on his future with the Bundesliga champions.
The Portugal international joined the Bavarian giants from Benfica last year amid much fanfare, but endured a frustrating debut season in Germany.
Sanches made just 25 appearances (nine of them starts) in all competitions for Bayern as they won a fifth straight league title and reached the Champions League semi-finals.
The 19-year-old midfielder admits he needs more game time and wants to achieve that with Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but refused to rule out a move away from the Allianz Arena.

“In principle I will stay at Bayern,” he told Record. “Of course Bayern are a great club and I really enjoy being there.
“But if I do not stay at Bayern I will not be discouraged either. I will continue working as usual.
“Of course I need to play more, playing more gives me much more confidence.

Meeting of July 15, 2009 – Age Discrimination in the 21st Century-Barriers to the Employment of Older Workers
Good Morning Chairman Ishimaru, Vice Chair Griffin, and Commissioner Barker. My name is Anna Park, Regional Attorney for the Los Angeles District Office. Thank you for inviting me here to participate in this important hearing about age discrimination. I am honored to be testifying with Michael Barnes, who will describe his experience to you in a few minutes. I appreciate this opportunity to share some views on the complexity of age discrimination today.
The Los Angeles District Office covers Central and Southern California, Southern Nevada, Hawaii, and other regions in the Pacific, including Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. It has not only a diverse population, but also diverse industries spanning the vast region. Tasked with litigating on behalf of the Commission, we have brought cases under all the statutes we enforce. One of our more challenging responsibilities is litigating under the ADEA.
I am here to discuss EEOC’s suit against Republic Services and to introduce Michael Barnes. Mr. Barnes was a lead man in charge of drivers on shifts when no regular foremen were available. When he was in his 30’s he was privy to managers’ discussions and observed ageist conduct directed at older workers by the company. When he turned 40, he was stripped of his lead position and was forced to pitch—or pick up—trash. He became the subject of the same practices he saw used to weed out older workers. He will talk about what happened to him and others.
Despite the fact that the ADEA was passed over 40 years ago, employers still engage in unfair assumptions about older workers’ productivity and think that replacing them with younger workers will be more cost-effective. Oftentimes, this turns out to be untrue. Stereotyping of older workers seems to continue to be socially acceptable. People who would not dream of making sexually provocative statements or using a racial epithet will think nothing of calling someone “grandpa” or an “old mutt” or “old bag.” We often hear of cases where older workers were not hired because employers assumed that they would not have enough “energy” or that younger workers would bring “fresh new ideas.” The impact of these persistent stereotypes is devastating.
By way of example, in EEOC v. Republic Services, our investigation showed that the employer systematically discriminated against older workers by subjecting them to ongoing harassing comments and terminating them based upon unfair and unfounded discriminatory stereotypes.
Republic Services is the largest waste management company that operates in Nevada. The company systematically discriminated against three classes of older workers: foremen, drivers, and administrators. The EEOC identified approximately 40 men and women who were subjected to ageist comments and conduct, including being subjected to harder working conditions and being fired from their positions only to be replaced by lesser qualified younger workers.
Managers openly made ageist comments. The president of the company referred to older workers as “old man,” made comments such as “When are you going to get your old ass out of here.” Managers openly told older workers that they intended to “clean house” so the workers should retire to keep their pride.
General Managers would openly say, “You guys are getting too old” to do this or “I’m going to get some young blood in here that can handle this” to all the foremen gathered as a group. Other comments included "Hey, old man. When are you going to retire? It's time for you to get out of here" and “Old man, when are you going to retire? You've been here long enough." The recipients were often in their 50’s and 60’s.
Mr. Barnes will tell you about a practice that was called “breaking off.” To understand it, you need to know a little about the jobs of the various people involved in collecting waste. Depending on the type of route, some routes required someone to drive the trash truck while another person “pitched” or picked up the trashcans from the curb. Drivers did both pitching and driving. The company would engage in a practice of designating a younger person to drive and an older person to pitch the trash.
The company brazenly ran newspaper ads and hired younger workers to replace the older workers. While the company told the older workers that the jobs were not needed, ads were being run for their replacements. Interestingly, after years of litigation, the employer advanced a new theory that the terminations were somehow intended to reduce costs. However, the evidence does not support this notion. In fact, the employer actually expended more costs. Because it had to hire more young workers to perform the very duties accomplished by a smaller number of older workers, the company ran up more costs for salary and overtime. Despite the evidence, sadly, the court cut the class down from approximately 40 class members to 21. One of the casualties was Mr. Barnes, who is here today to share with you the experiences he had with age discrimination.
In the end, we thank you for raising awareness of the persistent problem of age discrimination that older workers face. Raising awareness is the first step in ensuring that age stereotypes are not tolerated and treated as a lesser evil.
To those who doubt the impact of age discrimination, I want to close by sharing with you a statement by a charging party in the Republic case, Mr. William Lacy. He was a foreman who dedicated his life to the company. He is also a Purple Heart recipient, having served our country honorably. He couldn’t be here today because he is now very ill. Mr. Lacy was fired only to be replaced by younger men who couldn’t perform all of the tasks that he was performing. The company ended up spending more money to get the same work done that Mr. Lacy had been doing alone. Mr. Lacy’s statement reads: “I served my country, and I served the company with honor, blood, and sweat. I never thought I would be where I am today. I lost my house and my savings. At a time when I should have been looking forward to the fruits of my hard work, I am reminded everyday of the pain and indignation I have to endure because of what the company did to me due to my age. I am left with nothing.”
We are determined to seek justice for him and others. Thank you. | <urn:uuid:d2293f15-1fa6-4701-b694-73aa2dcfab11> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/meetings/7-15-09/park.cfm | 2017-10-20T17:42:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824293.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020173404-20171020193404-00497.warc.gz | en | 0.982139 | 1,350 |
Our study is based on the examination of 2,000 aortic valves obtained from fresh cadavers (1,499 males, 501 females) at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Rio de Janeiro. We discovered 13 valves having two leaflets, giving a prevalence of 0.65%, much lower than generally reported in the literature. All 13 valves were from males, 10 from whites, three from mulattos, and none from blacks. Special attention was given to the raphe and the leaflets, the calcification of which can lead to stenosis. The only valves with normal texture and flexibility were two obtained from children less than one year old. All the other valves were thickened, and five of them had some degree of calcification. Six valves were judged to be functioning normally, while 7 valves were abnormal, 5 being stenotic and two showing evidence of insufficiency. The insufficiency in one was due to endocarditis, but in the other was due to redundancy of the leaflets. The only other cardiac anomaly discovered in these 13 cases was one patient with aortic coarctation. Bifoliate aortic valve, therefore, is probably the most common cardiac anomaly, although its prevalence as discovered in Brazil is lower than that reported in the literature. It affects mainly white males. After the fourth decade of life, most valves present some thickening, with stenosis being the most common complication. As is well recognised, infective endocarditis and aortic insufficiency are the other frequent complications. It is in general, nonetheless, an isolated anomaly. | <urn:uuid:43d5ce7e-3f85-4a3a-8e66-f1ca6fecd981> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://core-cms.prod.aop.cambridge.org/core/journals/cardiology-in-the-young/issue/9953F2AC15808E9C49BBB187F2419DBD | 2021-04-13T17:14:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038073437.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210413152520-20210413182520-00028.warc.gz | en | 0.982734 | 322 |
Despite opposition from the superintendent of Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska’s Board of Game voted Friday to eliminate a “buffer zone” and allow hunting and trapping just outside park boundaries.
The board voted 4-3 in favor of the wolf kill, which was sought by the state’s powerful hunting and trapping interests. The park’s management had favored creation of a larger buffer zone.
Conservation and wildlife groups fear that a “killing zone” will deplete two wolf packs frequently viewed by park visitors. Controversy broke out nearly a decade ago when several Toklat River wolves, being studied by park biologists, were killed when they ventured beyond its boundaries.
Alaska politicians, including ex-Gov. Sarah Palin, have sponsored and championed an aerial wolf hunt on state-owned lands, with the goal of increasing populations of moose and caribou for sport and subsistence hunters.
Palin has dueled with Defenders of Wildlife, which in 2008 produced a film showing hunters blasting away from the air, wounding and killing wolves and then loading the bloody carcasses.
The Anchorage Daily News reported Friday that Denali Park’s wolf population is at its lowest point in 23 years. | <urn:uuid:a0168851-6a1b-4528-8dbd-52393de2e54f> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2010/03/05/alaska-oks-killing-wolves-near-denali-park/ | 2014-12-23T00:36:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802777418.140/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075257-00102-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965766 | 252 |
Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. will not be collecting on its California Public Utilities Commission-approved $7 million phone bill to AT&T. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last month that a 1996 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Order (the “ISP Remand Order”) preempts state agencies’ attempts to set a local telephone carrier’s “reciprocal compensation” for exchanged internet service provider (ISP) traffic, and that rate caps established in the ISP Remand Order apply both to traffic between competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), and between CLECs and incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs). AT&T v. Pac-West Telecomm, Inc., __ F.3d __ (9th Cir., June 21, 2011)
Congress passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 with the goal of fostering competition within the telecommunications industry. In local telephone areas, the reciprocal compensation process provides that LEC (local exchange carrier) serving the customer originating a telephone call compensates the LEC serving the customer receiving the telephone call for its cost of terminating the call. This process was based on the assumption that over time, telephone traffic going in each direction evened out. That same logic did not apply to ISPs, who would generally terminate traffic but not originate that much traffic. ISP-bound traffic comes with varying compensation rates set through federal and state authorities, and the FCC’s 1996 “ISP Remand Order” set a new compensation scheme for ISP-bound traffic in order to address this “game of regulatory arbitrage.”
In the underlying suit, Pac-West sought $7 million from AT&T for ISP traffic set to the CPUC-approved compensation rate, claiming that rate caps in the ISP Remand Order did not apply to CLEC-to-CLEC traffic – only ILEC-CLEC traffic. The CPUC held that the ISP Remand Order applied only to ILEC-to-CLEC traffic. AT&T argued that FCC regulation capping compensation rate preempted the CPUC decision. The Ninth Circuit panel agreed, finding that FCC’s ISP Remand Order preempts state regulations in capping intercarrier compensation for ISP traffic. Whereas the CPUC and a California district court found the federal statute limited in scope to incumbent local exchange carriers, the Ninth Circuit concluded that FCC intended cap rates for all local exchange carriers exchanging ISP traffic. “[T]he FCC was primarily concerned with arbitrage opportunities created by traffic of a particular nature,” noted Circuit Judge Marsha Berzon. | <urn:uuid:9afad405-b58b-4ecd-9071-ea82742f3958> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.cwclaw.com/legal-news/ninth-circuit-cancels-isp-traffic-compensation-for-california-telecom/ | 2019-04-22T02:16:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578533774.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190422015736-20190422041736-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.927924 | 532 |
Kesler family to be on Family Feud
BLACKFOOT — You'll want to make plans to watch or set your DVRs as five siblings from Blackfoot's Kesler family go head to head against the Ianitello family from Woodstock, Ga., in front of a live studio audience on Family Feud Monday at 2:30 p.m on KPVI (Channel 6). It could be a nail-biter as it is revealed whether or not the Keslers win big money (up to $100,000) and a brand new car, along with some serious bragging rights.
With the King of Comedy, host Steve Harvey, at the helm, the Kesler Family Feud team includes Cameron Kesler (a doctor in Highland, Utah) Landon Kesler (a mortgage loan officer in Rexburg), Katie Ulrich (a mother of four in Idaho Falls) Kelsi Fullmer (a dance instructor in Rexburg) and Brett Kesler (a salesman in Rexburg). They are five (of seven) children belonging to Kelly and Marva Lu Kesler, owners of Kesler's Market in Blackfoot.
Landon Kesler said he hit it off with host Harvey right from the start. " I don't know what he saw in me, but he looked me straight in the eye, grinning and said 'You and I are going to get along very well.' He (Harvey) was very nice and very funny."
Kelsi Kesler, who is responsible for sending in family videos to the producers and landing the spot on the show, said, "We have watched 'Family Feud' and played along together for years so this was such a wonderful experience to share with my siblings. It's something we will talk and joke about the rest of our lives."
As a family, the Keslers decided that if they win, they will put the money towards a cabin in Island Park, a place for the whole family to enjoy. Family Feud premiered in 1976 and has become one of the most successful games shows in history. The premise of the show is two families facing off against each other answering a series of questions. The actual taping of the show was done in Atlanta, Ga., in May; however, the Keslers are contractually obligated not to discuss the outcome of the show until it has aired.
So, will the Kesler family be able to purchase a cabin in Island Park with their winnings on Family Feud? Tune in and all will be divulged! | <urn:uuid:9250f28b-9dba-4ae5-8871-70422e845b1f> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.am-news.com/content/kesler-family-be-family-feud?quicktabs_4=1 | 2016-07-27T21:15:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257827079.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071027-00241-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971214 | 518 |

Zebra, $6.99 ISBN 978-0-8217-8035-0
My Sisters has a very nice cover. I believe you will definitely be able to tell from the cover art and the synopsis on the back cover that this story isn't romance as much as it is women's fiction, though. Despite the label on the spine, it's easy to tell this book for what it is.
I was in a mood for some women's fiction and I had a pretty good time with the author's previous book for Zebra, so I had good feelings about this one when I sat down to read it. Alas, I would soon wonder whether there are too many characters here and not enough pages for the author to develop her story.
This is a familiar story if you have read enough of such stories before. We have three sisters who have over the years drifted apart due to their very different personalities. Margaret Lansing tries to escape her lackluster love life and stale routine by burying herself in her laboratory work. Rose Lansing believes - insists - that she has the perfect life and the perfect marriage. Quincy Lansing has never outgrown her need to get attention by pulling off acts of "rebellion" that no longer seem cute after high school. The three sisters finally come home - and have to deal with each other again - when their mother was killed in a car accident. As the days turn into weeks while they deal with the aftermath of the funeral, secrets will come out and old wounds will be reopened. Just in time for the reconciliation, of course.
The problem with this story is that there are way too many things going on at once and the author ends up skimming only the surface when it comes to her characters. As a result, everyone here is a recognizable stereotype with very little to make them stand out in any way. The issues and plot twists come off more like a laundry list of familiar tropes. By the time I finish this book, I still have not formed any emotional attachment to any of these characters. They merely go through the motions in playing out a very average and predictable sisterhood-forever story.
Perhaps if we have two sisters here instead of three, the author may have the opportunity to do more with her characters and their stories, I don't know. As it is, My Sisters is a very predictable story that is unfortunately most forgettable at the end of the day.

Nothing can compare to the thrill of stepping onto a stage for the first time. For Boulder City High School theatre students, that thrill is often experienced during the annual Short Play Festival. Boulder City High School theatre students are currently gearing up to present the Seventh Annual Short Play Festival on May 1-2 at 7:00pm in the Boulder City High School Theatre located at 1101 5th Street. General admission is $5. (Call 702.799.8200 for more information.)
As a first-year theatre teacher in the fall of 2007 at a brand new school, I had no idea what to expect from the students when I picked a play and held an audition. Would students show up at all? If so, how many? Would they all be girls? Not being able to answer any of these questions, a more creative production solution needed to be found. The answer came in the form of the Short Play Festival. It could be a show that would provide flexibility in rehearsal, some gender-neutral roles, doubling up if needed, uncomplicated technical demands, and the chance to see students in leadership roles and assess the baseline ability of the majority of interested students. The scripts could be simple and fun. The sets could be minimal. It was the ideal first production.
The Short Play Festival is a student-led production, which allows student directors, designers, technicians, and actors to mirror the real-life collaborative process that takes place in professional theatres across the country. Students choose the scripts, cast the plays, design the sets and costumes, direct the staging, run the tech, and act in the show. They exercise and develop many practical and creative skills, but if you ask one of the students involved, they’re more likely to say that the whole thing is simply fun.
It’s not an easy process to put on a show, but Boulder City High School students have shown over the last six years that they are up to the challenge. What sets the Short Play Festival apart (and perhaps makes it so popular with students and audiences) is that it is one show comprised of five or six, ten to fifteen minute plays. The show is fast-paced and involves many students, usually forty to sixty depending on cast sizes, including directors, actors, and technicians. With less daily rehearsal time and a shortened overall rehearsal calendar, it creates opportunities for students who are not usually involved in theatre to get a taste of being in a show.
The whole process starts with director applications where students submit titles of two plays they are interested in directing. Once the titles and directors are chosen, the technical theatre class gets to work. The tech class reads all of the plays together and the tech students are then assigned to a production crew where one student is chosen to be the crew head for each play. Each director comes into the technical theatre class to meet with their production crew, with the crew leader acting as liaison between the director and the crew. The director lays out his or her vision to the crew and incorporates the crew’s ideas and suggestions into the initial concept. Finally, as a whole team the students involved settle on a final production plan and build list for each individual play. The crew leader then ensures that the crew brings the designs to life as they work on the plans each day during the technical theatre class.
While the crews feverishly dive into their production designs, the directors shift their focus to casting. Auditions are open to all Boulder City High School students, and, as stated before, a wide variety of students come to audition. Over the course of two days after school, students rotate in groups to perform cold-reads (reading as the characters right out of the script) for each of the five to six directors. At the end of the second day, the directors sit together and, with compromise, all plays are cast and each director finally has a group of students ready to direct.
Over the next five weeks of rehearsal (one hour every day after school), the directors bring to life the storytelling with the actors, while the tech crews continue to create the world of the play. One week before opening night, all of the casts meet together to rehearse the plays in the order in which they will be performed during the finished show. Finally, technical elements and staging come together as tech run crews are added to the process and everyone works together to rehearse all tech cues, scene changes, and curtain calls. Several casts suddenly merge to become one giant production team with a single goal in mind: to deliver an exciting and entertaining night of theatre sure to please every audience member. And considering the continued success and popularity of the Short Play Festival, the students definitely deliver. | <urn:uuid:75b359d3-f9d9-4192-8350-083d29fff550> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://bouldercitymagazine.com/past_issues/2014/2014_March/cover.html | 2017-06-25T12:19:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320491.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625115717-20170625135717-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.966157 | 952 |

Say Media is going right for the gut of "viewable impressions" as the company announced a "cost per exposure" (CPX says Say) model on its company blog. This would appear to be the equivalent of a CPM buy above-the-fold - except that it's for a particular type of ad unit. Say says, "These ads are the company’s first product to be billed on the CPX accountable pricing structure, and our clients achieve an average clickthrough rate 3x to 4x higher than the industry average, and guaranteed brand exposure for their advertising spend." Read about it.
An article by The Business Insider's Matt Rosoff postulates that declining CPC's are due to Admeld's second price auction. He writes, "AdMeld works with a bunch of large publishers, and now those publishers are all in Google's ad system. So here's the problem: when advertisers win a bid to place an ad on Google, they do not pay the price they bid. They pay a tiny bit more than the second-highest bid."

Your Friend The Board Member
Scott Kurnit, CEO of AdKeeper, takes the controls on Union Square Ventures' Fred Wilson's personal blog to offer his tips on selecting a board. Kurnit writes, "Today I’m going to address two concepts that surprise people every time, end up generating lots of head nods, then usually don’t happen. These suggestions clearly fit into the art of the board more than the science. And it’s the unwillingness to depart from traditional norms by those around the table that stop them from happening: 1. Your best friend should be on the Board, and 2. No one who works in the company other than the CEO should be on the Board." Let me him explain.
CEO James Green of Magnetic takes a turn at Marketing Land as he discusses three different stages of search consideration for the end user as he makes his case for the importance of his company's favorites topic - search retargeting - and its data. Smith pours the Koolaid at the end, "Next time you think of search, think beyond search engines, consider the value of search data, how you can leverage it in display advertising, and most of all, what the customer experience is telling you."

Reuters Gerry Shih writes that designers are the new "rock stars" in Silicon Valley. Shih quotes Hulu founder Eric Feng who says, "There's a growing recognition that it's critical for a company's first employees to be people with great design sense. That's true even if you look at larger companies like Google and Facebook, who have moved in that direction." Tech needs design sense. Read more.
Month Of Apps
As part of its "30 Apps in 30 days" series, the AppNexus company blog highlights the "Mark & Mini" app from BannerConnect which claims to provide access to Dutch consumer profiles for ad targeting purposes. And that's not all as the blog explains: "The app offers more than 60 socio-demographic labels to select from (...). The intent data available in the app is industry and category specific so you can reach the consumer who has intentions that are relevant to you. With more than 5,000,000 households with unique cookies in the Netherlands, the Mark & Mini App makes it possible to filter your target users accurately for your campaigns." Read more.

The celebration seemed a little subdued compared to those for the previous four University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's basketball victories.
But winning five is still mighty fine.
A blistering first half had the Mocs in control before they held off Samford 90-81 on Thursday night in a Southern Conference game at McKenzie Arena.
"This game, we had some mental lapses down the stretch where we didn't get a defensive assignment right," said Ronrico White, who set a career high with 28 points. "We knew we didn't close out the game like we should have."
A crowd of 3,097 began to rise with 5.7 seconds left and then celebrate the two-hour effort from their Mocs, who hadn't won five straight since the 2009-10 season.
"We never stop fighting," said sophomore Casey Jones, who scored 14 points including 10 of UTC's first 17. "Coach [Will Wade] said we have many different ways to win games because we fight to the end. In each game, it was close until the end. That's what got us all five of these wins. We won't give up."
White's game-high total included four 3-pointers and a 12-for-12 night from the free-throw line for the Mocs (9-8, 3-0).
Zaccheus Mason set a Division I era record with his sixth straight double-double by scoring 16 points (11-of-14 on free throws) and grabbing 10 rebounds. Jones scored in double figures for the fourth straight game, and Gee McGhee added 11 points and nine rebounds.
"I thought it was a tale of two halves," Wade said. "In the first half, we got the style of play going how we wanted. In the second half we weren't as aggressive. We held on for dear life.
"We were able to find another way to win."
The Bulldogs (6-12, 0-3) lost track of Jones in transition for a dunk, and coach Bennie Seltzer called for time 51 seconds into the game. Still, UTC sprinted to a 20-10 lead with Jones matching the Bulldogs point for point including a stylish finish to an alley-oop.
"We have three keys," Seltzer said. "The reason for the quick timeout was [UTC] got a layup and I had to reiterate one of those keys."
The Mocs continued rolling -- especially offensively -- until halftime. With three minutes to go before the break, Martynas Bareika buried a 3-pointer. On the next possession, he trailed the play, caught a pass back from McGhee for another 3 and a 45-27 lead. Seltzer called for time and reiterated again, albeit much more emphatically.
The Mocs led 48-33 at halftime.
"It's tough when you're on the road and you spot a team as good as Chattanooga 10 points," Seltzer said. "We're not at a point where we can spot a team 10 points in the first eight minutes."
UTC led by at least 10 points for the first 12 minutes of the second half. Connor Miller hit a 3 to get Samford within nine, but the Mocs were soon ahead 13 with five minutes to play.
Samford pulled within five. But only 15.6 seconds remained and White was in rhythm at the free-throw line, where he and McGhee closed out the game with nine straight from the stripe.
Tim Williams, Tyler Hood and Isaiah Williams each scored 15 points to lead Samford. Former Tyner star Michael Bradley grabbed four rebounds in his 13 minutes.
It wasn't enough for the Bulldogs to overcome UTC's strong start and subsequent locker-room celebration.
"It was less emotional," White said. "We were more focused on what we need to get done in practice to get ready for Saturday's game."
Wofford is the visitor for that 7 p.m. contest.
