There are some super sweet details and personal touches Kaci and Nick’s wedding day planned by Grey Collective member Beauty & the Details. Succulents planted in teacups for the place cards and donuts and s’mores for dessert. But our favorite part is that the couple chose to write their own vows and recite them at their first look versus in front of all their guests. It kept the moment super private and intimate. See photos from their special moment and the rest of their day in these lovely images by Uplift Photography.
What made the wedding special and unique?
We really wanted to center the day around our families, and the fact that our wedding day marked the start of our own family. Our families are spread out all over the country, so we knew that this was probably the only time in our lives that everyone would be in one room! We kept the day pretty intimate and wanted to make sure we didn’t spend the night introducing each other to new people. The night felt so warm and cozy (literally, we had fireplaces and fire pits!), and we could not have felt more loved.
Tell us about the gown and where/how you found it!
I found my gown at Kleinfeld Bridal, in New York City. I prepared for my appointment by making a Pinterest board with my favorite dress in every style, just in case one fit didn’t flatter me. I’m so glad I did! I thought I would end up with a fitted dress, but when I tried one on, I didn’t love how it made me feel. I tried on more of a flowy ball gown option next, and it was perfect! I ended up trying on a few more dresses but chose the second dress I ever tried on. It was Legends by Romona Keveza.
What were some touches added to make it personal?
This was so much fun for me! During cocktail hour, we served a drink that we used to make in the bar we met working in. We also served donuts and s’mores for dessert, which are two of our favorite treats! We displayed pictures from our family members’ weddings, and baby pictures of my husband and myself. We spent months collecting tea cups to plant succulents (my husband’s favorite) in for our place cards/favors and I printed our table numbers on pages from one of my favorite childhood books, Anne of Green Gables. I was lucky enough to have a groom who cared just enough about the details and it was truly a collaboration. We were so happy with how everything turned out and really felt like the day was a perfect representation of us.
What was the most memorable part of the day?
We really wanted to write something to read to each other, but felt a little shy about reading personal vows during our traditional ceremony. To compromise, we wrote our vows and read them to each other after our first look. It allowed us to laugh, cry and get our nerves out before the ceremony. Your wedding day can be so hectic and stressful, and it was the perfect way to remind us what the day was all about.
Tell us how you met and became engaged.
We met in early 2012 while working at TAO in New York City. Nick wouldn’t take no for an answer and showed incredible perseverance by asking me out for months until I finally said yes. Our first date was spent walking through Ft. Tryon Park and talking for hours at the New Leaf Cafe. On that date, I was telling Nick about how my parents had been married for almost 30 years and he said “That’s going to be us!” I thought he was crazy, but 3 years later here we go!!
After countless hours of sitting around watching World Cup coverage, I became stir crazy and told Nick that I was going to take the dog on a walk. Nick told me that he was going to come along, but to take Jameson outside and he would meet us there. I went outside, immediately started sweating in the July heat and called my dad to complain about Nick’s soccer addiction. My dad, knowing that Nick would propose soon (Nick had asked my parents for permission the weekend before), told me that I needed to get myself a hobby and stay out of the heat because it made me cranky. When Nick came downstairs (with the ring in his pocket), we walked to Astoria Park. When we got to an open area, we started throwing the ball to Jameson. Nick handed me the ball and said “Jameson, Mommy’s got something for you.” As I threw the ball, I heard Nick say “and I’ve got something for you.” When I turned around, he was on one knee. We both blacked out, and aside from a few select cuss words from me, that is basically all we remember.
When we got home, we called our families to share the news and dined on cheeseburgers and champagne.

Germany is the world’s third arms exporter. As such, it must prevent arms exports by companies within its jurisdiction that may facilitate or aggravate generalised violence against women and femicide in importing states.
Arms exports can have serious consequences on the rights and human security of women in importing states, particularly in the case of exports of small arms and light weapons.
The case of arms export to Mexico
WILPF is particularly concerned by the case of exports of firearms produced by the company Heckler and Koch to Mexico.
Divers mechanisms of protection of human rights both of the UN system and the regional system have warned that Mexico is in a serious human rights crisis and that there is a situation of generalised violence, probably fuelled by the “war on drugs” initiated in 2006.
Different forms of violence have been spread in the country including enforced disappearances, torture, murders, kind-napping, extrajudicial executions of men, women, children, migrants, human rights defenders and journalists.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights pointed out that this problem is linked to complex phenomena such as: the high militarisation of the country and the presence of criminal structures. The proliferation and easy access to firearms constitute for the Commission one of the main factors for the aggravation of violence in Mexico. The crimes with firearms increased by 55% between 2013 and September 2014.
Reality of femicide violence with firearms in Mexico
Mexico ranks the 23rd in cases of femicide in the world. In cases of femicide perpetrated with firearms they are in 10th position. In the last six years, the highest rates of femicide have been registered in the States of Chihuahua, Guerrero, Baja California and State of Mexico.
A study by UN Women and the National Institute of Women about femicide in Mexico points out that one of the main concerns is the increase of the use of firearms to commit homicide against women in the country, doubled between the years 2004 and 2010.
The study concludes that women are at higher risk if their families and communities are armed.
The control system and the regulation of weapons in Mexico are not effective to assure that these cannot facilitate or be used to commit serous acts of violence against women. For example, in Mexico the factor of gender-based violence is not part of the procedures to expedite licences to carry firearms. Additionally, it is important to point out that in Mexico there is an important black market of firearms outside of the control of the State.
Previous scandals with German arms exports
In 2006, 2,025 G36 assault rifles were exported by Heckler and Koch to the National Defence Secretariat of Mexico. At the time, a condition was establish for the export: that the assault rifles were not used or distributed to 4 States in Mexico: Chihuahua, Guerrero, Baja California and Chiapas, States with high levels of violence.
However, it has been determined that some of these German rifles were used by the State police in the State of Guerrero the night that the disappearance of the 43 students in Ayotzinapa. This evidences that german weapons can be used in the current context of human rights crisis in Mexico and more concretely in cases of femicide.
The case is currently under prosecution in Germany and the Attorney’s office in Stuttgart claims that the limitation regarding the distribution within Mexican territory was breached with the knowledge and connivance of the german company Heckler and Koch.
Arms exports case brought to CEDAW Committee
WILPF has recently made a statement explaining to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) Committee the situation of arms exports from Germany, and lack of appropriate previous assessment during a pre-session of a review of Germany by this Committee.
After the pre-session, the Committee has told Germany: “According to information before the Committee, there are several areas where operation of German companies abroad has a negative impact on the human rights of women. Please provide information on the regulatory framework, which ensures that operation of German industries and companies, do not negatively affect human rights or endanger environmental, labour and other standards, especially those relating to women’s rights. Please also indicate the steps taken: a) to integrate a gender dimension in strategic dialogues with the countries purchasing German arms; b) to conduct gender sensitive risk assessments, in accordance with the Arms Trade Treaty (2013), in order to mitigate the potentially negative impact on women’s rights of arms transfers to countries marked by armed conflict or risks of such conflict; c) to protect the rights of all women and girls, in particular in rural areas, in international food value chain production, as well as in the context of its development cooperation policies and programmes.”
WILPF will now work closely with WILPF Germany and partners to establish a full report on German arms exports to Mexico and other countries where there are high rates of femicide and the Committee will finally review the full human rights situation of women in relation to Germany in February.

OMG!! WTF!! If there was ever a time for internet acronyms, it is NOW! Do I have a story to tell today! And it's a good case for health care reform too! I'm sure your attention is drawn by the images of utter horror that can be seen below. I don't want to come off hysterical or nothing, but I'm used to excellent medical care. My two oncologists at California Veterinary Specialists are board certified. One even wrote the textbook on cat cancer! My cardiologist is board certified. And my radiologist is board certified although he has a funny last name. The only medical personnel who has actually come see me at home has been Jennifer (a real sweetie) who is a highly trained vet tech from the Canyon Crest Animal Hospital (located in the upscale Canyon Crest neightborhood where I live).
SO, I ask --- What the hell were my owners thinking when they invited a voodoo nurse over to give me a shot!! (see above surveillance photo) We get weirdos visiting all the time around this hole, but I got to admit, a voodoo nurse is going to catch almost any cat off guard! I mean only some kind of wackjob would expect a voodoo nurse to walk in the door, right??
I don't like shots in the first place. I have to go get a damn blood test every month! And even with all the steroids they pump me with for my illness, I was plain afraid! Actually it was that special kind of afraid you get with voodoo nurses. In case anyone isn't buying this rather incredible story, please note the condition of the syringe (with attached needle, I might add!). That's right! It's an EMPTY syringe! She shot me up with some kind of stuff. And unless she's a certified medical practitioner (and let's face it, I think this is doubtful), I'm wondering what kind of curse she gave me. Did she inject me with chicken blood? Voodoo types sacrifice chickens and use chicken blood for all kinds of unspeakable acts. I'd go into more detail, but like I said, they are unspeakable. Not that I care what happens to chickens. Chickens are just big birds. They deserve whatever happens to them anyway. All this probably doesn't make any difference. I take a human cancer drug. If I got something in me that kills cancer, I'm sure it can deep six whatever voodoo curse she injected into me!
I don't think she was a legitimate voodoo nurse. I'm pretty sure she was undead though. She has autopsy scars. She's the first person I've met with autopsy scars! Maybe she escaped from the morgue! HA!
It was a weird situation for sure. But I headed out back, got a drink out of the bird bath, took a big stretch and then headed off for a nap. I don't think the voodoo curse she injected me with will do me any harm.
I don't buy all that kind of voodoo, superstitious, quasi-religious mumbo jumbo. This is a world of science and that's why I go to all my board certified specialists for my medical care. They are trained in science stuff. Plus, when you got 9 lives you don't have to worry about voodoo curses anyway. If this happens again, I'll just sink a pair of claws into her! That's how I give "injections!" | <urn:uuid:69d1ef22-6699-45d2-bc94-16befbcf8d20> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://tommy-thehuskercat.blogspot.com/2009_08_16_archive.html | 2018-09-25T08:15:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267161214.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180925063826-20180925084226-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.97925 | 715 |

The standard by which a “serious” home theater is judged is a movie theater, which of course means a BIG screen.
But our 40-year-old NTSC television system wasn't designed for big-screen viewing, and when it's watched that way, the picture starts to fall apart.
Previously invisible scanning lines become conspicuously evident, and the system's limited resolving power shows up as a soft, defocused image Resolution can be improved, up to a point, by using a wider-bandwidth monitor and viewing laserdiscs or satellite transmissions instead of broadcasts or video cassettes, but eventually you bump into the stonewall limits of NTSC video. That's where line doublers come in.
A single frame of NTSC video is not scanned (drawn on the screen) all at once; it's scanned in two 'passes," with the lines of the second scan filling the spaces between the lines of the first. This "inter laced" scanning relies heavily on a physiological phenomenon known as "persistence of vision"-the tendency for an image to "finger" for a fraction of a second in our visual memory after it is turned off. In theory, persistence of vision is supposed to merge the two sets of scans into a seamless quad field, but the fact that we still see scanning lines is proof that it doesn't quite work.
While most sales clerks and videophiles know that line doublers-also called scan multipliers or scan doublers-get rid of scanning lines, there's wide-spread confusion about how they work Line doublers do not actually increase NTSC's standard 525 line resolution to 1150 lines. (Actually, only about 495 of the 525 lines are used for screen imaging the rest, which are off-screen, carry synchronization and quality-monitoring information which are of interest only to techies ) What doublers do is display the same 525 lines twice as often. Instead of two alternate interlaced scans every thirtieth of a second, a line doubler paints all the scan lines twice during that period. The result? The lines virtually disappear.
But there can be side effects which are arguably worse than visible scan lines. Without additional processing, a scan-multi plied image looks even softer than an interlaced image, so all decent scan multipliers also incorporate circuitry that sharpens object outlines. And the digital processing needed to do this is sometimes subject to information overload: Lots of on-screen movement can demand faster processing than the system is capable of, forcing it to skip over "chunks" of data so as not to fall behind. Moving parts of the picture may break up into small rectangular blocks or develop little white "pin holes." The most sophisticated scan multipliers don't do this, but less expensive ones are still more or less susceptible to it.
And speaking of sophistication, the latest product from Faroudja Laboratories, the VP 400, doesn't merely double the scan rate-it quadruples it.
Unlike a doubler, the “Quad” really does effectively double the number of scan lines from 525 to 1150. It does this by "interpolating" completely new scan lines between the originals, deriving brightness and color information from the originals above and below. Too bad it costs $20,000! But with a projector capable of taking full advantage of the VP-400 (and only the most high-end models are), the picture is so amazingly film-like it makes the prospect of waiting for true high-definition TV much easier.

What has happened?
On Monday 6 July 2020, the UK Government enacted the Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 (the Regulations), which is secondary legislation made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018. The Government has also provided guidance on the new sanctions regime in its Global Human Rights Sanctions Guidance, Global Human Rights Financial Sanctions Notice and Explanatory Memorandum.
This marks the first time that the UK has launched a standalone UK-only sanctions regime, targeting individuals and organisations deemed responsible for serious human rights violations. The new measures came into force immediately.
Initially, a total of 49 individuals and organisations involved in human rights violations in recent years have been designated under the UK's new 'Magnitsky' style sanctions regime. Magnitsky human rights sanctions refer to the U.S. regime that was introduced to target individuals responsible for the death of Russian tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who blew the whistle on corruption in Russia.
The individuals and organisations are the first wave of designations under the new regime, with further sanctions expected in the coming months. The UK’s first wave of sanctions targeted:
- 25 Russian nationals involved in the mistreatment and death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who uncovered widespread Russian corruption by a group of Russian tax and police officials
- 20 Saudi nationals involved in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul
- Two high-ranking Myanmar military generals involved in the violence against the Rohingya people and other ethnic minorities
- Two organisations involved in the forced labour, torture and murder in North Korea’s gulags
You can view the full list of designations here.
What does this mean?
The Regulations impose asset freezes on designated persons (including a prohibition on making funds available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of designated persons), and travel bans targeting designated persons. In essence, they will empower the UK to stop designated persons from entering the country, channelling cash through UK banks or profiting from the UK economy.
In addition, the new regime allows the UK to impose sanctions on individuals and organisations unilaterally, not just alongside the United Nations or the EU. Until now, the UK has almost always had to act in concert with the EU with regards to sanctions, but the introduction of this autonomous new sanctions regime is a clear indicator of the UK's intention to adopt a more independent sanctions policy post-Brexit.
Mike Pompeo, the U.S. Secretary of State, published a statement welcoming the new UK sanctions regime, which “marks the beginning of a new era for UK sanctions policy and cooperation between our two democracies”.
The UK joins several other countries that have already enacted Magnitsky-style human rights sanctions laws, including the U.S, Canada, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The EU has yet to introduce a sanctions regime to specifically address human rights violations.
What are the penalties?
The Regulations make it a criminal offence to contravene the financial sanctions legislation or to seek to circumvent its provisions. A breach of the legislation carries a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment or a fine (or both).

All of the dead are believed to be migrant workers, 13 of whom worked at the garment factory on the ground floor. About 70 people, mainly migrant workers and their families, lived in the four-storey building in Jiugong township, about 15 kilomtres south of the city centre.
The workshop was locked and there were metal bars on the windows making escape difficult. Moreover, fire engines attempting to get to the blaze were blocked in the narrow and cluttered alleyways of Nanxiaojie, a village whose population had mushroomed to 70,000 in recent years as local residents built hundreds of small workshops and dormitories to house migrant workers.
Many of these structures had shoddy wiring and initial reports said the cause of the fire was most likely an electrical short circuit.
Nanxiaojie is just one of dozens of outlying villages that have been taken over by Beijing’s urban sprawl and are now home to the city’s migrant workers who, cannot afford to live any closer to the city centre. Nanxiaojie is just inside Beijing’s fifth ring road but many migrants are now forced to live outside the sixth ring road.
The illegal structure that was razed during Monday’s fire, with a workshop on the ground floor and dormitories above, is typical not just of Beijing’s villages but of small-scale factory districts across China. The vast majority of such buildings are never inspected by the local government and have very lax safety standards. See photo below.
Monday’s fire echoes a tragedy 18 years ago when 84 people, mainly young migrant women workers, were killed at the Zhili Toy Factory in Shenzhen’s Longgang district. The incident sparked public outrage and led to the implementation of the Labour Law in 1994. At that time, the law was hailed by some commentators as a “protective amulet” that could prevent a reoccurrence of the Zhili tragedy. Clearly, that has not been the case. Many migrant workers are still forced to live in crowded firetraps above or adjacent to their workplace, with little protection from the local government officials who are supposed to be enforcing the law.
Indeed, just one day later on 26 April, eight workers died and another 17 were injured when an explosion destroyed a workers' dormitory in Pingdingshan, Henan. | <urn:uuid:c5ec32e2-177d-4ba0-8ba5-0cee98dcc79d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://clb.org.hk/content/18-migrant-workers-die-fire-illegally-built-workshop | 2021-10-26T20:09:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.977806 | 487 |
Auctioneer Christie's is currently taking online bids for an Apple-1 personal computer, as yet another owner tries to capitalize on the interest in the 39-year-old device that launched the California company climb to fame.
The e-auction for the Apple-1 ends Oct. 29. Christie's has estimated the gavel price between £300,000 and £500,000 -- equivalent to between $US463,000 and $US772,000 -- and began the bidding at £240,000, or about $US370,000.
Those prices are significantly higher than recent sales of other Apple-1 antiques. Last month, auction house Bonhams sold a different Apple-1 at a gavel price of $US300,000, or $US365,000 including the auction house's commission. In April, collector Bob Luther sold one of his Apple-1 computers on eBay for $US236,000.
Both the Bonhams and Luther computers were working units; Christie's said it could not say whether its Apple-1 is operational. "Neither of the electrics nor electronics have been tested," Christie's said. "We assume it could be brought up to working order again, as it was last turned on in 2005.
The Apple-1 was a stand-alone circuit board, and lacked a case, keyboard, monitor or even power supply, all of which computer hobbyists had to provide themselves. Software was loaded into the Apple-1's minuscule standard 4 kilobytes -- upgraded to 8KB by its first owner -- using a cassette tape recorder, or typed in by hand each time the device was powered up.
In 1976, the first Apple-1 personal computers were sold for $666.66, or approximately $2,788 in today's dollars. They remain rare, with about 60 of the original 200 known to exist, several in the hands of museums such as the Smithsonian Museum of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Henry Ford Museum of Dearborn, Mich.
The Christie's Apple-1 was purchased in 1977 by Joe Torzewski, then sold to its current owner -- who Christie's did not identify -- in 2004.
Along with the computer -- since Torzewski's ownership days, enclosed in a white case with integrated keyboard, making it look somewhat like the follow-up Apple II -- the lot includes several data cassettes and the original manuals. Christie's touted the latter in its sales pitch, calling one of them "extremely rare."
The Apple-1's manuals were written by Ron Wayne, the almost-unknown third partner in Apple. When Apple's founding contract was drawn up in 1976, it boasted three signatures: Steve Jobs', Steve Wozniak's, and Wayne's. Wayne, then 41 and thus the elder statesman, was instrumental in the founding of Apple. He had been recruited by Jobs to convince Wozniak to launch the partnership. For his part, Wayne was offered a 10% share in the new company, Apple Computers.
Wayne relinquished his part of the deal just days later, receiving $800 for his shares. He bowed out in part because of past business venture failures as well as the fact that all the partners were personally liable for any debts the new company might accrue. That original founding contract sold for $1.6 million in 2011.
Last year, Wayne sold his collection of draft copies of the Apple-1's manuals for $20,000 via Christie's.
The Christie's Apple-1 auction is taking place on the London-based auction house's website.

Hightower was being sought on suspicion of threatening the life of another person. In August 2011, Hightower greeted an acquaintance with, “What up, boy?” and the man took offense at the term “boy.” That produced an argument during which Hightower punched the other man in the face, knocking out his two front teeth.
In defense of the Zilge, St. Paul Police Federation President Dave Titus struck out at the mayor’s statement of concern over the treatment of Hightower and his demand for an investigation. Titus objected that “[t]his cop was dealing with a very dangerous individual in a very dangerous situation . . . Back-up was not immediately available. And maybe our officials shouldn’t make comments about their concern until the investigation has run its course. This is a good cop.”
Hightower was arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats, obstructing legal process and criminal damage to property.

Judge Gina Marie Groh was appointed to a seat on the West Virginia Northern District Court by President Barack Obama on Tuesday, ending a six-year vacancy on the federal bench.
“It an honor, and it is also very exciting now that it is sinking in and becoming a reality,” said Groh, a Charles Town resident, soon after hearing of her nomination. “I think it is going to give me an opportunity to learn and grow and exercise my mind.”
“I really appreciate it. I am honored by the President’s nomination, and I am so appreciative and honored that Sen. (Jay) Rockefeller had the confidence to recommend me and that Sen. (Joe) Manchin wholeheartedly supported Sen. Rockefeller’s recommendation.”
Groh also expressed thanks to the local community.
“I’ve had the support of this whole community, particularly since we haven’t had one of our own on the federal bench. It’s been a long time coming. It makes me appreciate it a lot more,” Groh said.
Groh will be the first female judge ever appointed to the Northern District Court.
“I hope my appointment serves as a role model for other young women who look to achieve in any field and particularly in the legal field,” Groh said. “(The appointment) expresses to young women and to minorities in general that you don’t have to be the stereotypical idea of who a judge is – an old, white-haired guy – to reach that level.”
Groh’s departure from the 23rd Judicial Circuit will leave a vacancy that will have to be filled by an appointment from Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. Representatives from his office said it will likely be several months before potential candidates are vetted and a successor is appointed.
The U.S. Senate confirmed Groh to a seat on the West Virginia Northern District Court in a 95-2 vote last week.
Groh had been nominated for the seat by President Barack Obama in May, 2011, and was unanimously recommended for confirmation by the Senate Judiciary Committee. But her confirmation, along with that of several other nominated federal judges, had been held up in the Senate.
A previous nominee put forward by President George W. Bush was never passed through the Judiciary Committee.
The issue of stalled judicial nominees was beginning to draw the ire of the president and Senate Democrats. Earlier this week, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., threatened to use parliamentary procedures to force an up-or-down vote on the 17 nominees currently before the Senate. Some Republicans, in turn, threatened to use parliamentary procedures to force 30 hours of debate on each candidate before the vote.
Groh’s confirmation is the first of a series of 14 confirmations expected to occur in the coming days following an agreement announced recently between Republicans and Democrats.
The only votes against Groh’s confirmation came from Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who have said they will vote to block all judicial nominees in retaliation for recess appointments made by Obama.
Judge John Preston Bailey, chief judge of the Northern District Court, called Groh a great appointment. “We’re tickled to have her join the bench,” he said. “We know she’s going to do a great job.”
The seat has been vacant since 2006, following the death of Judge Craig Broadwater. Bailey said it has taken hard work to keep up with the court’s docket with one judge short.
“The docket is current. I’ve been traveling to keep the docket current,” said Bailey, who lives and primarily presides in Wheeling but has to travel to hear cases in Martinsburg as well.
“I loved the people and the lawyers in Martinsburg, but it’s a four hours each way. It was difficult physically,” Bailey said.
There are currently 83 unfilled seats on federal benches throughout the country. | <urn:uuid:bbf13a72-ab2a-4913-9dd5-ffb1e64b46bb> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://spiritofjefferson.com/blog/2012/03/groh-appointed-by-president-to-federal-bench/ | 2014-03-07T14:08:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999643993/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060723-00098-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972047 | 856 |

FENTON, Michigan — One of the city’s rocky roads is set to get resurfaced, but drivers are going to have to wait a few years.
At its Jan. 11 meeting, Fenton City Council unanimously approved to put fourth 20 percent funding on a $982,873 North Leroy Street resurfacing project for the 2012 fiscal year.
The city received a grant that will fund 80 percent, or $786,296, of the project from the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance Technical Advisory Committee, city manager Lynn Markland said. The city will be held accountable for an expected cost of $196,575.
Markland said the money to fund the project will either come out of the street fund or be appropriated from the general fund.
The project is expected to be a mill and overlay, said Les Bland, department of public works director. Mill and overlays generally consist of removing some of the road surface and mixing asphalt back into the original grade.
Bland said workers will likely repair one or two lanes at a time on the five-lane road to keep it opened to through traffic. North Leroy Street will be repaired from when it begins near Main Street to the city limits. | <urn:uuid:81c1e086-33a1-4580-b206-73d2c5ea2a52> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2010/01/fenton_city_council_approves_n.html | 2014-03-16T23:27:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394678704059/warc/CC-MAIN-20140313024504-00001-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951238 | 249 |
End of Year Giving
Through the Mercury News’ annual Wish Book campaign, which seeks money for the most vulnerable in our communities, Coastal Kids Home Care is hoping to raise $50,000 to provide services and help for families like the Jackowskis who are caring for medically fragile children in Santa Clara County. The goal is to improve the in-home medical care for some 350 children dealing with cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, congenital conditions and other complex medical situations.
The agency plans to use the donations to establish a small administrative office in Santa Clara to support the nurses, social workers and therapists in the area. Currently, those workers are operating out of the Coastal Kids Monterey County office.
Because [our nurse] Heather was there I was able to focus on being a mom and on my child who was sick.

The Big Idea
Expanding mental health counseling to children and teens responds to a critical need in our community. Wrenching data shows that the number of teens experiencing depression in the last decade has increased significantly and suicide rates among teens and younger children continue to rise. The pandemic exacerbated these trends, and our community has been ill-equipped to respond. Early in 2019, Coastal Kids Home Care expanded our traditional counseling to include care for mild to moderate mental health services for children. Intervention that this critical stage, when children are coping with issues like loss, divorce, bullying or anxiety, provides children and their parents with tools and strategies to build resilience for the future. Demand for counseling continues to increase, support from MCGives would allow us to invest in additional counselors with expertise in children and teens – to bring back hope to children in Monterey County.
I thought counseling was just like how they showed it on TV where people just have to talk. But it was actually fun! Kate made it fun. We talked, we played, and we worked on arts and crafts.

Property Tax Problems
More than 50 property appraisers from counties across Florida gathered in Gainesville Tuesday to find ways to reassess the way they assess our property.
"Given the climate this year of 'lower taxes, lower taxes' our oversight agency the Department of Revenue has adopted practices that in our opinion has been forcing values up, " said Alachua County Property Appraiser Ed Crapo.
So at the meeting, they were looking for ways to fix that.
They're hoping state lawmakers will also address this issue again in September's special session or when the general session starts next Spring.

They bring cheers to specially abled children in Xmas season
Christmas is all about showing kindness, affection and spreading happiness. The IEDC of Vidya, along with the NSS units of Vidya, organised Christmas celebration for specially abled children on 21 December 2021 in the College Auditorium.
Specially abled children are like butterflies with a broken wing. They are just as beautiful as all others, but they need help to spread their wings. The celebrations provided a great opportunity for these children to showcase their talents and to boost their creativity and confidence. There were various events like games and music. Many children participated in the events with much happiness and enthusiasm. All the events took place under the guidance of Mr Anil Melepurath (Nodal Officer IEDC and AP, ECE Dept).
Autism Center, Aranattukara coordinated the program. Students from many schools with specially abled children joined the program.The program concluded by presenting Christmas gifts to the participants. The smiles in their faces was the most beautiful thing that portrayed the spirit of the programme. | <urn:uuid:52663ea0-5bdf-46c7-a5dc-52c4949d2b9b> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://news.vidyaacademy.ac.in/2022/01/13/they-bring-cheers-to-specially-abled-children-in-xmas-season/ | 2023-03-27T16:05:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948673.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20230327154814-20230327184814-00147.warc.gz | en | 0.976973 | 222 |

Kate Middleton is calling off her third pregnancy plans, mostly because Prince William has apparently been an absentee father. The Duchess of Cambridge has made it no secret that she’s unhappy with her current situation at home.
In a new Heads Together clip with Prince William and Prince Harry, Kate Middleton hints that she’s done having children. She struggled so much after the birth of her first child, Prince George. Kate recalled how she wasn’t prepared for all the life changes that come after having your first child. During Kate’s heartfelt confession, William sat next to her in silence.
“Having a child, particularly your first child, is such a life-changing moment,” Kate said in the clip. “Nothing can really prepare you for that. Remember the first few days with little George, you have no idea what really you are doing, no matter how many books you read, nothing can prepare you for it.”
Kate Middleton has made it no secret that she often feels lonely and isolated at home. Clearly, she doesn’t have many close friends to turn to. And, it doesn’t look like Prince William is helping their situation, either. Kate’s supposedly been using a secret account on the popular mom forum Mumset for advice on how to parent her two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at home.
Often times she finds herself butting heads with her husband simply because of their different backgrounds and upbringings. Simply put, Kate Middleton doesn’t want her children to have the same, stiff royal upbringing that Prince William experienced. She wants to be more hands-on with her children.
But if Kate can’t handle raising two kids on her own, there’s simply no way that she’ll manage three small children under the age of 5. That might be the reason why she’s saying no to a third pregnancy. She doesn’t want to be left alone, angry and frustrated with the struggles of raising small children while her husband goes off on one of his ski trips with his pals.
Then again, the only two people who really know what’s going on behind closed doors are of course the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge themselves. So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about Kate Middleton’s future plans. Also, check back with CDL for all the latest news and updates on the royal family right here.

Woodmere Bay Yacht Club member Charles Mohr just finished rebuilding his Bay Park home after Tropical Storm Irene, when Hurricane Sandy struck Long Island and tore through Mohr’s house. Sandy also damaged the East Rockaway clubhouse of the 66-year-old group.
Mohr is once again repairing his home and along with the approximately 34 other families that belong to the yacht club, are awaiting a new boating season and a fixed up clubhouse. The club founded in 1947 by five men from Woodmere includes members from the Five Towns and the surrounding communities.
“We’re going to be rebuilding the existing structure,” said Mohr, who despite his personal problems with his home and the emotions of seeing his recreational home damaged spent nearly the first six seeks after the storm serving his neighbors by delivering wood for heat, safeguarding his neighborhood from looters and helping to organize cook outs at the Island Park train station, including one cook out that fed more than 2,000 people and had more than 200 volunteer who helped.
Elliot Cohen, a Woodmere resident and past club commodore, said the clubhouse’s destruction is a part of living by the water, but it was depressing seeing all the work that went into the building’s construction destroyed. “Sandy was quite unusual,” said Cohen, who has belonged to the club for 14 years. “We gutted most of the building and are really close to starting. We are still talking to the insurance company. We don’t have the money (for repairs) without insurance.”
In addition to the clubhouse structure being damaged some members lost their boats that were being stored on the property, said Lance Smith, a Rockville Centre resident who is the current club commodore. An eight-year member of the Club, Smith said that this was the second storm in two years that affected the club. Irene also struck the clubhouse.
“The goal is to have it ready for May, start holding events and have the pool up and running so members have a place to go,” said Smith, adding that general and board meetings and social events typically held in the clubhouse were held in restaurants and in April a member will host a potluck dinner “to keep everyone together and updated.”
That spirit infuses Mohr and other club members to rebuild their Cooke Street clubhouse. “Regardless if it will be done in time or not, nothing will hold back the members love and passion of the water for the boating season,” said Mohr, who is battling the Town of Hempstead over the allowable height to raise his house. | <urn:uuid:3c53bf09-5b72-4ec7-a0e4-6ac48ab1a30b> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.liherald.com/fivetowns/stories/Dropping-anchor-on-a-new-clubhouse,46654 | 2016-06-29T18:09:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783397795.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154957-00189-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984176 | 546 |

Connected Health: An Open Innovation Perspective
The concept of connected health has gained traction in recent years as a new technology
enabled and networked model of health care delivery. It is often used as an umbrella term for
eHealth, digital health, health informatics, telemedicine, mHealth and involves the establishment and
management of a network of stakeholders with the aim of improving health care quality and outcomes.
Yet a lack of open interactions and knowledge networks and the missing integration of the
larger constituency of interdisciplinary experts are limiting the execution of the model and restricting
its potential to devise services and interventions around patient’s needs with shared health related
data. Drawing parallels between the concept of connected health and open innovation, the networked
innovation model, which involves efficient management of knowledge flows and complex networks
for successful innovations; in this paper we outline the practice of open innovation in health care and
suggest connecting stakeholders in the health care ecosystem in an open innovative format. In doing
so we present a categorization of firms in the health care ecosystem into open innovation profiles for
getting connected and propose an open innovative framework for maximizing the potential of the
concept of connected health.
Keywords: Connected health, open innovation, health care ecosystem, innovation network.

Tag: water leaks
That how long it has been since I last posted on here, thing are pretty much as they were when I last posted. The wife is now a government artist , drawing the dole (an old 80’s jokes). Her 4 days work turned into three days as they got it done quicker than expected.
The weekend of the 5th, 6th and 7th May were booked to go to Tosside (Gisburn Forest)in Lancashire to meet up with some friends from a mountain bike forum. I had planned to leave early Friday morning going to our branch in Preston and then when finished head over to Tosside about 40 minutes away for a weekend of trail riding. Things did not go to plan, Thursday night I got a phone call at 9pm to say that the power had again gone off at head office (they had had power problems all day but we had been told by Eon at 5pm that everything was sorted). So a change of plans for Friday morning, I now had to get to head office before they start work on Friday morning. They start at 7:30am and I live 130 miles away, you do the sums, at least head office is sort of on the way to Preston.
I arrived just after 7am and thankfully all the servers fired up without a problem, but by now it was rush hour time so we hung around head office before hitting the road shortly after 9am and headed for the M5\M6. Preston was reached just after midday after an interesting drive through the town centre (missed turn off on M6, sat nav choose the route through town).
Things did not improve with the job I had to do at Preston, missing instructions, people not putting me through correctly on phone systems and idiots on the other end of the phone. Once everything was working (well at least my part was working) I phoned the alarm company, after a couple of unsuccessful attempts to get things working I was told that they would need to call me back which may be on the following Monday I told them that I would not be there on the Monday and that they can come out and resolve the problem themselves, I had had enough.
We eventually made it to the camp site by early evening, lovely and sunny but a bit windy, a small group of riders went of for a early evening ride but I decided not to go, but then I decided that I would and got changed and then headed out towards Gisburn Forest (we were and 1/2 mile from the forest). I came across the new Hope trail and headed off down the trail. The first thing I will say is it not really my sort of trail big jumps and big drop offs, not my sort of ride by I got to the bottom and met up with the riders. After a play and chat we decided to ride back up to the top and do another ride down the Hope trail. Once back at the bottom we headed back into the strong wind back to the camp-site.
Back at the camp site I came across a problem, despite filling the water tank up with water the previous night our water tank was empty, not good. In the end I used the on-site facilities and then joined everybody else for our hot pot evening meal (provided by the camp site manager). It had been a very long day so it was not long before I was heading for my bed. I wanted a good night sleep for the following mornings ride.
In the end I had a lousy nights sleep, got up with a stinking head ache. As I sat there drinking tea and feeling sorry for myself, my phone rang it was my son, “Dad we have got a leak”, then I heard my daughter in the background and my son past the phone to her. Apparently she had woken up to water coming through the bedroom ceiling in our room. We made a few phone calls and past on instructions but in the end there was only one thing we could do, go home. So we packed up, said a quick good bye to everybody and embarked on a 295 mile 6 hour drive home.
By the time we got home the leak had stopped, I was in no mood to venture into the loft so I decided that was going to be a Sunday morning job. Unfortunately at around 1am in the morning the leaking started again and in short I just lost the plot. I could not sleep in the bedroom I was curled up on the sofa and the black clouds were now at ground level.
Sunday morning dawned and I was in no mood to venture into the loft so we did the only thing we could do and called a plummer, it was a cost we could do without but we had to fix the leak. Thankfully they came out quite quickly and considering it was a call out on a bank holiday Sunday it was reasonably priced.
By now it was to late in the day to do anything so I just sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself for missing out on the weekend.
The miserable weather has stopped me from riding lately, I went out riding this past Saturday and Sunday but both were shortish rides. I did consider riding yesterday except it rained and it rained again tonight. Tomorrows an early start, Thursday is shopping night as it is our sons birthday on Friday. So it is the weekend now before I get back on the bike. | <urn:uuid:03d14c22-b2ac-4e38-b596-053f4b60b57a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://xendistar.co.uk/tag/water-leaks | 2018-06-19T04:45:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861899.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619041206-20180619061206-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.9873 | 1,105 |
|Broad Economic Policy Guidelines
Mr. Kelvin Hopkins (Luton, North): I welcome the opportunity to debate European Union economic policy, but I am slightly concerned that it took six months for the guidelines to come before the Scrutiny Committee. I understand that we had the recess and the general election, but the procedure still took rather a long time. Will my hon. Friend comment on that?
Ruth Kelly: Of course. I am happy to take part in this scrutiny debate, which is an important part of Parliament's involvement in the process. The procedure over the past year has been slightly unusual, but events conspired against us. In the usual course of events, the guidelines would have been debated before the summer. This time, however, Parliament was
Column Number: 5dissolved for the election before the European Scrutiny Committee had the opportunity to debate the guidelines for 2001. It was not reconstituted until 17 July and did not, unfortunately, have a chance to consider the explanatory memorandum until later that month. As far as I am aware, it requested a debate only when it reported on the explanatory memorandum in the middle of October. Obviously, the terrible events of 11 September have put enormous pressure on parliamentary time, and I am afraid to say that this was the first opportunity that we could find in the parliamentary calendar to debate the guidelines. However, I am pleased to be here today to answer hon. Members' questions.
Mr. Lidington: I want to follow up the Minister's answer to my earlier question. Given that the growth forecasts for Europe in the Government's pre-Budget report are significantly lower than the 2.75 per cent. forecast in the guidelines, to what extent do the conclusions and policy recommendations in the documents need to be modified in light of events in the past six months?
Ruth Kelly: Clearly, the economic environment has changed substantially since the guidelines were published. They state that the assessment that will be made in 2002 of whether they have been met
Jane Griffiths (Reading, East): We see before us a number of recommendations specific to member states. That for Italy clearly recognises the economic divide between northern and southern Italy. A similar economic divide exists in this country, although not to the same extent, but that does not appear to have been taken into account in the recommendations for the United Kingdom. Has attention or thought been given to that, and how might we address the north-south economic divide?
Ruth Kelly: I thank my hon. Friend for her point. The question of how regional divides can be addressed and bridged is interesting. It would be inappropriate for me, as a UK Minister, to comment on economic developments in Italy, which has commissioned and engaged in its own discussions on the recommendations in the broad economic policy guidelines that apply to it.
However, regional growth and productivity is an issue that UK Treasury Ministers have uppermost in their minds. Alongside the pre-Budget report, we published a separate document that addressed regional performance and how productivity in each region could be improved and increased to match the best in the country. We take the matter very seriously and are determined to address it.
Column Number: 6
Mr. Lidington: I refer the Minister to page 20 of the Council recommendations and the commitment that is given, inter alia, to ''accelerate the liberalisation'' of the railway industry. Can the Minister say what the Government are doing to accelerate the liberalisation of the railway industry?
Ruth Kelly: One thing that we are doing is making up for the chronic underinvestment in our public infrastructure, particularly our transport infrastructure, over the past 20 or even 30 years. Investment in our transport infrastructure is set to increase by £180 billion over 10 years. That will increase the level of infrastructure spending by 75 per cent. in real terms, which will go a long way to improve transport infrastructure. It is a bit rich of the Opposition to talk about the liberalisation of the rail industry when the current crisis in the transport industry is a result of the Conservative party's policies, its failed privatisation and its lack of public investment in transport. We are attempting to take action on both frontsto design a model that will put safety and passengers first, and to invest both public and private moneyin order to ensure that in 10 years' time we have a transport infrastructure that is among the best in the world.
Dr. Nick Palmer (Broxtowe): May I ask a technical question? There is always a tension in independent reports between the need for completely autonomous assessment and the need for constructive dialogue. Can the Minister advise at what stage during the development of these reports the British Government were involved and consulted? How far does she feel that we are co-authors of the final document?
Ruth Kelly: I would not go so far as to say that we are co-authors. Clearly, our views on the economic environment in the United Kingdom were taken into account when the broad economic policy guidelines were drawn up. They were debated at ECOFIN among all Finance Ministers, and we had an opportunity to look at the draft and to make comments on the guidelines. As I pointed out in my opening speech, we removed from the draft broad economic guidelines a reference that we thought was wholly inappropriate and exceeded the Commission's remit.
The independence of the process is demonstrated by the fact that the Commission was willing to state what it first thought but was prepared to be swayed by our argument that it had gone beyond its remit. Of course, the UK and other member countries are closely involved. There is dialogue with the Commission, at ministerial and official levels, concerning the state of our economy and the measures that we are taking to boost productivity, raise the level of growth and increase the number of jobs in our economy.
Hywel Williams (Caernarfon): The hon. Member for Reading, East (Jane Griffiths) has already referred to regional inequalities. I want to refer to national inequalities in labour market conditions. I note from the documents that the Commission recommends active measures targeted at those communities most prone to the risk of concentrated and long-term
Column Number: 7unemployment. I want to impress on the Minister the importance of targeting and ask what the Government are doing about it. In case she is tempted to refer to the objective 1 funding for west Wales and the valleys, one of the measures introduced to target unemployment, I should inform her that those measures have been greeted with widespread disappointment in Wales in the past 18 months.
Ruth Kelly: The United Kingdom's success in job creation and the flexibility of its labour markets was recognised explicitly by the Commission and, whereas most member states received two or three recommendations on their labour markets, the UK received only one, which was, more or less, to continue the strategy that we are already undertaking to target measures on those who most need to be reintegrated into the work force. For example, we are helping disabled people to find work through the new deal for disabled people. I was pleased to see that the pilot was set up in my constituency, so I have first-hand experience of the measures that we are taking on that front. We have introduced measures on tax credits to help people to move from long-term unemployment into the job market. We also agreed that we should continue the process of targeting help on lone parents.
The hon. Gentleman is probably well aware of the measures that we are taking, through the new deal for lone parents, the working families tax credit and the child care tax credit, to help lone parents move from long-term inactivity into work. We are also continuing the process of reaching out to ethnic minorities. The Government will invest £15 million in the next three years to help people in those communities to find work.
We are committed to achieving balanced economic growth throughout the UK. We certainly aim to promote productivity and to increase employment in all regions, especially those that suffer from the worst problems of long-term unemployment. As one of the tools to achieve that aim in England, we are using regional development agencies to co-ordinate the economic strategies for each region alongside regional venture capital funds, which will promote entrepreneurship and encourage job creation.
We are also investing in communities through the neighbourhood renewal fund and new deal for communities, so it is not only objective 1 status that the Government are trying to obtain for disadvantaged regions. We are using a vast array of tools to ensure that people are best equipped to move from unemployment or long-term inactivity back into the work force.
Mr. Hopkins: The guidance focuses on economic stability. I am sure that the Minister would agree that there are two types of instabilityboom and bust. I am concerned in particular that the effect of the growth and stability pact, but also the general thrust of European policy, is to constrain excessive spending and, therefore, to deal with the tendency towards boom, when in fact we are tending towards bust, for
Column Number: 8which a more relaxed policy, which might go beyond the restrictions of the growth and stability pact, might be more appropriate.
Ruth Kelly: I agree with my hon. Friend that we need to interpret the growth and stability pact in a prudent and sensible way. We need to examine the matter in an intelligent fashion and the pact needs to be flexible enough to deal with different economic climates. As has been recommended in the broad economic policy guidelines, the UK is using the automatic stabilisers as much as it can, which injects an element of flexibility and allows fiscal policy to support monetary policy in these testing times.
When there is an external shock such as that which occurred after 11 September or as might happen to the UK as a result of a downturn in its export markets, it is important to have a degree of flexibility. It is also important to allow countries to ensure that they prudently maintain overall general Government debt levels at around 60 per cent., as laid down in the stability and growth pact, while allowing sufficient room for countries such as the UK to tackle chronic, long-term underinvestment in our public services. We agree that an element of flexibility is necessary and we are committed to a prudent interpretation of the stability and growth pact. As I have said, our approach has been recognised in the broad economic policy guidelines.

The season for twists and turns is back and the major twist is happening now in the serial Saraswatichandra which is aired on Star Plus. Saraswatichandra's brother would marry Kusum instead of Saras marrying her.
Yes! A shock is to be opened soon when Danny marries Kusum. It was seen from a long time that Kumud's sister Kusum had feelings for her own would-be brother-in-law Saras. The family after getting to know about such mutual feelings decided to get both of them married.
It will be seen that during the marriage, the groom's would be changed and instead of Saras, Danny would perform all the rituals. Danny too had feelings for Kusum, but what made him do so? Danny would take this opportunity as a boon and will tie the knot with Kusum.
All the viewers who were disheartened by the news that Kumud and Saras will now no longer be together, it is a relief for them as the story takes a new turn. Saras and Kumud will still be together and the drama will follow with various reactions of people around when they get to know that the groom has been changed.
This sequence will raise a lot of questions like: Is Saras still in love with his past Kumud? What is the reason behind Saras not marrying Kusum? What will be Kusum's reaction? And of course, the question of dispute arising between the brother and sisters jodi?
High Volatge Shock Awaiting!
Kusum would marry Danny as she is unaware that it is not Saras as the groom.
Kumud will be seen hurt as she still loves Saras and cannot see him parting away from her.
Saras Dicloses The Truth!
Saras will come to Kumud and tell her the truth. Kumud will blame him for Kusum's condition.
Sisterly Love To Go Soon!
Kumud will see her sister going away with Danny.
Varun Kapoor Aka Danny
The role of Danny is played by Varun Kapoor, who was also seen in the serials like Na Aana Iss Des Laado and Humse Hai Life! | <urn:uuid:3117b579-8e39-4e52-840b-7ffe757d6599> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://www.filmibeat.com/television/news/2013/saraswatichandra-major-twist-danny-marries-kusum-instead-of-saras-126813.html | 2017-08-18T16:05:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104681.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818140908-20170818160908-00604.warc.gz | en | 0.982431 | 450 |

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. (WXIN) – An Illinois household has built the rapid-food find of a life span: a 1950s-period McDonald’s order inside the walls of their dwelling.
Grace Jones mentioned she and her partner were being updating a toilet in their Crystal Lake, Illinois, property when they uncovered the meals.
Her partner, Rob, was changing an previous toilet paper fixture, and when he pulled it out of the wall, he discovered a piece of bunched-up fabric sitting down in the gap wherever the fixture experienced been.
“At this level, we’re equally searching at each individual other wondering if we’d be contacting the police simply because we just uncovered proof from a crime scene!” explained Grace.
The couple explained they had been “very relieved” when the thriller bundle was uncovered to include a bag from McDonald’s with two burger wrappers and an get of uneaten, flawlessly preserved fries within.
“How on Earth are these fries even now in this bag and how are they preserved so nicely?!” Grace wrote to WXIN via a Fb message.
Grace’s home was crafted in 1959, and her idea is that 1 of the builders had gotten lunch from a a short while ago opened McDonald’s down the avenue and then set the leftovers in the wall.
“Not positive if it was as a joke or to hide it from his manager, but both way, we’re glad it transpired!” she said.
To improve Grace’s concept, she claimed they did some research and discovered the type of McDonald’s logo that was on the wrappers was only in use from 1955 to 1961.
Grace explained they’d be happy to sell their discovery at the right price tag, but they will almost certainly maintain it as a awesome piece of nearby record.

In a November 5 report from Business Insider, Coke One North America (CONA) – the technology company that manages the IT operations for the bottlers of the lemonade group – said it was using a blockchain solution to manage its supply chain. This solution is said to have been developed by the German software company SAP.
Management of 160,000 orders per day
The report further states that CONA manages a platform for monitoring multiple franchise companies that produce, fill and ship nearly 160,000 orders of Coca-Cola products every day. Andrei Semenov, senior manager at CONA, told business insiders:
“There are a number of transactions that are inefficient and cross-company and cross-party. They use intermediaries; they are very slow. And we think we can improve that and save some money.”
CONA wants to use the blockchain to reduce the duration of order coordination from 50 days to a few days. A cross-organizational, transparent distributed ledger provides real-time insights into the transactions of the various bottlers in the network. Over 21 billion US dollars in sales are achieved annually in this network.
Semenov explained how they had agreed on the amount and type of data that was considered necessary for the franchise companies:
“There was negotiation and discussion to reach an agreement on what data we want to share. We started with a huge list of data attributes and narrowed it down to a list that everyone agreed on.”
Known Names Use Blockchain
It has been reported that retail giant Walmart has long used IBM’s blockchain technology for a number of supply chain management systems. Recently, Walmart also used it to monitor its seafood imports from India.
Since 2016, Walmart has been working with IBM on a blockchain system to identify and recall food. Since then, the retail giant has also applied for several blockchain patents and carried out test runs. These include the monitoring of meat in China, delivery drones and raw foods. The company also plans to patent intelligent deliveries in the USA. It has also implemented VeChain’s Thor-Blockchain to monitor food on its supply chain in China.
In September of this year, several international coffee companies entered into a partnership with Farmer Connect. The partnership will use the IBM Food Trust platform to jointly develop an app that provides consumers with origin and price data for coffee products. | <urn:uuid:8db1bcec-8b46-4a2a-994d-d20958357a17> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://topnetworkmarketingtraining.com/general/coca-cola-uses-blockchain-for-network/ | 2020-04-09T08:33:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371830894.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200409055849-20200409090349-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.966442 | 480 |

At the University of Birmingham, 2008 was the first time that library staff were involved in a Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), and by ensuring the completion of all record elements and the sourcing of over 4,000 items, they became an integral part of the process. This article highlights the information retrieval and metadata skills that they brought to the task, and the lasting benefits of involvement in the project, from better quality output data to enhanced processes for the ongoing collection and validation of publication information. In addition, there is a greater awareness of the skills and expertise of librarians in this area, which will remain even more pertinent for support in the successor to the RAE, the Research Excellence Framework (REF).

The First Sunday of Advent [B]
Isaiah 63:16-17,19; 64:2-7 + 1 Corinthians 1:3-9 + Mark 13:33-37
November 29, 2020
“Be watchful! Be alert!”
The entire Gospel is filled with paradox, but the Gospel narratives of Advent and Christmas seem especially so. These Gospel passages highlight two paradoxes: first, the all-powerful God becoming a weak human; and second, God becoming man in order to destroy death by His dying.
The English writer G. K. Chesterton wrote a book about human history in general, and specifically about Jesus’ place at the center of human history. It’s titled The Everlasting Man. Chesterton writes at length about Bethlehem, and describes the paradox that Mary held in her arms and gazed upon the face of her Creator and Savior. This is the paradox, Chesterton wrote, “that the hands that had made the sun and stars were too small to reach the huge heads of the cattle.” The infinite God, in other words, is right under our noses. Nonetheless, His Presence in our lives often remains a mystery.
Jesus opens the door to Advent with a demand: “What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’” We are to watch for God Himself. Advent and Christmas are such richly symbolic seasons that it’s easy to lose sight of God’s most obvious presence in our lives. Where, then, do we find God? Advent prepares us for Christmastide by looking in three places.
First: history reveals Jesus to us. Each Advent we commemorate, proclaim, and celebrate in the Sacred Liturgy the historical events that truly took place over two thousand years ago: that “for us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” During Advent, we look back at the life of Mary bearing Jesus in her womb for nine months. We reflect on Joseph toiling to protect Mary and her unborn Child. Through this reflection, we’re aided in two way: by the moral examples of those in the Gospel, and by the grace that we receive because of what God accomplished 2000 years ago.
Second: the future reveals Jesus to us. That’s why the Gospel passage, on this First Sunday of Advent, is not about Mary bearing Jesus, or Joseph keeping watch. The Gospel Reading focuses, instead, upon the future: upon the particular judgment of your life that Jesus will make on the day of your death, and upon the Final Judgment that Jesus will make at His Second Coming.
Jesus came into this world two thousand years ago to save mankind. Jesus will come at the end of time to judge mankind. But Jesus is also right under our noses. Here we see the third focus of Advent. The solemnity of Jesus in the past and the majesty of Jesus in the future can overshadow the Presence of Jesus in the present. This is the Jesus who wants to dwell within your own soul today.
You may think of yourself as simple, and maybe even unimportant in the grand scheme of the world. You may recognize yourself as a poor sinner. But it’s because of that spiritual poverty that Jesus wants to dwell in your soul, so that you can live your life in Him. It’s in that poverty that Jesus wills to dwell, as He dwelt in a stable near Bethlehem. | <urn:uuid:6593cddd-6f16-4bf1-ac35-5a5a66262fa8> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://reflectionsonthesacredliturgy.com/2020/11/25/2020-11-29/ | 2022-10-05T06:27:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337537.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005042446-20221005072446-00456.warc.gz | en | 0.951164 | 730 |
It was only a matter of time before North West featured in a Kanye West music video, she is the apple of his eye after all. Well, now the little tot is starring in her dad's music video for Only One - the song which has Paul McCartney on keyboard.
Kanye gave the video as world premiere on Ellen DeGeneres' TV show.[twitter id="550559765647360001"]
North isn't exactly giggling and laughing in the video but she sure looks cute as she takes a little stroll with daddy.
Kanye revealed to Ellen that starting a family changed him as a person: "I've learned how to shut up more. I think I'm a better human being because of [Kim Kardashian] and because of my daughter. And I have always someone to think about going home to and you know something for me to be brave for what I want to do for humanity, but also to be more protective of myself for my family too."

On 5 January 2015, we wrote...
Apparently, there are a few people in the world who don't know who Paul McCartney is.
On 1 January, Kanye West launched new track Only One, featuring McCartney on the keyboard.
The song left a handful of Kanye fans wondering who this mysterious world famous collaborator was and praised the rapper for helping launch the career of another unknown artist, who needed a leg up.
"I don't know who Paul McCartney is, but Kanye is going to give this man a career w/ this new song!" wrote Ovo Josh on Twitter.
"Kanye has a great ear for talent. This Paul McCartney guy gonna be huge," tweeted Desus Nice.
"Who tf is Paul McCartney???!??! This is why i love kanye for shining light on unknown artists," said Curved Daily.
"Who is Paul McCartney?" asked Percy Blacksom. "He boutta blow up thanks to Kanyer!!!"
Some of these tweets may have been jokes (maybe), but for clarity to any Kanye fans still left unclear, McCartney was born in Liverpool in 1942 and went on to join one of the most famous bands in British history, The Beatles, which incidentally also featured a guy called John Lennon in the line-up.
The song itself strays from West's typically angry USP, and sees him channel the voice of late mother, while McCartney plays the organs.

- Our Union
- Our Industries
Published: 25 Aug 2014
The national safety regulator has shown it is at the behest of big business after downgrading safety regulations that had the potential to save lives and prevent injury at work.
Safe Work Australia is moving a number of Codes of Practice - including stevedoring and diving - to guidance material, meaning employers will be under less scrutiny and therefore less compelled to provide a safe working environment.
The news comes after SWA gave into the demands of multi-million dollar stevedoring and diving companies in a meeting with state regulators on Friday.
Maritime Union of Australia Assistant National Secretary Warren Smith said the union opposes the move and is calling on the SWA to reverse its decision.
“The regulator, driven by the anti-worker Abbott Government’s agenda, does not operate best interests of the Australian community, instead it is operating to increase the bottom line of greedy stevedoring companies who would rather see people die than adopt safer working practices,” Smith said.
“If the draft code of practice had been adopted and adhered to at the Port of Melbourne Anthony Attard would not have been killed that bleak day in May.”
Anthony Attard was killed while loading a vessel at the port.
“In fact all of the wharfies over the last decade would have gone home to their families had the employers had have taken the Code of Practice on board,” Smith said.
“Wharfies remain 14 times more likely to die on-the-job than the average Australian worker. But apparently this statistic doesn’t bother the management of stevedoring companies; Toll, Patrick, Qube and DP World who have, one after another, lined up to put a knife into the Code.”
“We don’t think it’s an outrageous demand that people go home in one piece and we will not be taking this latest decision lightly.”
MUA Assistant National Secretary Ian Bray said it was unbelievable that the regulators would consider softer regulation in the diving industry in the wake of criminal charges being laid against Paspaley Pearling Company after Jarrod Hampton, 22, died on his second day at work two years ago.
“The current regulation doesn’t go far enough, even the Western Australia safety regulator identified this and now they’re doing a backflip because vested interest groups have told them they can’t afford to clean up their act.
“Well I say that’s not acceptable, if you can’t afford to make sure your workers go home, you don’t deserve to be in business.” | <urn:uuid:d803201e-f516-4ada-9868-d62a39184ba7> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://mua.org.au/news/employers-say-preventing-injury-and-death-too-expensive | 2023-06-04T23:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224650409.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20230604225057-20230605015057-00553.warc.gz | en | 0.957657 | 577 |

No matter how hard you work to make sure your workplace is a model of fairness and civility, you can’t rule out the possibility that an employee will come to HR with a claim that she’s being forced to work in a racially or sexually hostile environment.
How you handle that complaint may make the difference between nipping an ugly problem in the bud and paying a huge jury award.
Take every complaint seriously and at face value. Even if the employee is calm and her work performance hasn’t suffered, she may be experiencing harm enough to win a lawsuit.
Recognize that courts don’t necessarily decide harassment cases on the basis of how the situation affects the particular employee who files the complaint. The test is how a “reasonable” employee would view the conditions—if a hypothetical reasonable employee would view the environment as hostile, it probably is.
Recent case: Tomeka Shockley complained to HR that her supervisor at the health care facility where she worked was creating a hostile environment with racist comments and innuendoes.
For example, Shockley said that the supervisor used racial epithets when he spoke to her and also referred to her as one of “you people” on a regular basis.
Shockley said she took “you people” to mean other blacks and that the term was demeaning and racist.
After the company fired her, Shockley sued for a hostile environment. The trial court dismissed the case, reasoning that Shockley hadn’t shown her work performance had been impacted by the allegedly hostile environment.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision and ordered a trial.
It said just because Shockley still could do her job didn’t mean she wasn’t working in a hostile environment.
According to the court, as long as the conduct was frequent, severe and humiliating, it didn’t matter whether it actually affected her job performance. (Shockley v. Healthsouth Central Georgia Rehabilitation Hospital, No. 08-11010, 11th Cir., 2008) | <urn:uuid:a8559347-d501-47e1-81f4-38af5953d5bb> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/6959/act-fast-and-fairly-to-investigate-when-employee-complains-of-hostile-work-environment | 2016-08-25T07:58:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982292975.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195812-00019-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970169 | 428 |
Iowa Community of Dubuque Will See New Planned Parenthood Center Open
by Steven Ertelt
August 7, 2008
Dubuque, IA (LifeNews.com) — Planned Parenthood plans to open a new center in Dubuque, Iowa but won’t confirm many details about it, including its location and whether it will do surgical abortions. Once the details are fully known, local pro-life advocates say they will do everything they can to oppose it and give pregnant women real help.
Jenifer Vick, director of development and communications for the Cedar Rapids-based Planned Parenthood of East Central Iowa, gave only scant comments to the Telegraph Herald newspaper.
"We have not opened our doors, so we are not confirming any time line or location," she said. "Until we are prepared to open our doors, that won’t be happening."
Steven Brody, executive director of Dubuque County Right to Life, also talked with the newspaper.
"We have to continue to educate the community about Planned Parenthood — who they are, what they are and what their agenda is," Brody said. "They have an agenda to target children, to have them have sex as early as they can get them to."
He said he’s not sure why Planned Parenthood felt the need to come to Dubuque.
"There are facilities in Dubuque that perform the same services Planned Parenthood does," he said. "Local doctors can prescribe birth control."
Joe Lock, chief executive officer of the local Planned Parenthood previously indicated it would not do abortions, but that doesn’t mean it won’t make abortion referrals or eventually give women the dangerous mifepristone abortion drug that has killed 14 women worldwide and injured thousands more.
Brody told the newspaper he wouldn’t be surprised if it did abortions eventually or gave out the RU 486 abortion pill.
"If the Planned Parenthood in Dubuque will not perform surgical abortions, then they will refer you to one of their facilities that will perform surgical abortions," Brody said, "or they will provide the means to perform medical abortions."
Jim Sedlak, the head of STOPP International, a group that monitor’s the nation’s largest abortion business, told LifeNews.com Planned Parenthood tried to come to Dubuque before.
"This is the second time that Planned Parenthood has tried to move a facility into Dubuque. The first attempt was in 1990, when it announced that by January 1992, Planned Parenthood would be moving into Dubuque and opening a facility that would not be committing abortions," he said.
"However, the pro-life movement sought to stop Planned Parenthood and held a ‘Protect Our City from Planned Parenthood’ prayer rally at Louis Murphy Park," he explained.
Planned Parenthood later announced that budget cuts would force it to abandon the idea.
"Brody and many others believe that the real reason was because of overwhelming opposition, and they are ready to rally opposition again if Planned Parenthood continues with its plans to move into their community," Sedlak continued.

Scientists are saying that global warming, habitat loss, wind turbines, and cats are all factors leading to the decline of North American birds. Check out the story from National Geographic.
Throughout the year, birders look forward to changing seasons and avian scenes as they explore woods, grasslands, and wetlands: the spectacle of spring migration, the songs of breeding birds, the autumn southward flight of wintering species from northern nesting grounds.
Increasingly, though, both casual bird-watchers and ornithologists note a steady decline in numbers—not just of endangered species, but also of common birds not usually considered to be at risk. Study after study, survey after survey show a worrisome downward trend in populations.
A National Audubon Society report called “Common Birds in Decline,” for instance, shows that some widespread species generally thought to be secure have decreased in number as much as 80 percent since 1967, and the 19 others in the report have lost half their populations. The figures reflect an array of threats faced by birds throughout North America. (Read about the decline of European songbirds in National Geographic magazine.)
Migrants return from Central America to find that the brushy field where they nested the previous year is now a strip mall.
Millions of songbirds annually suffer bloody death in the claws of domestic cats. Millions more collide with city skyscrapers or communications towers, or fly into the glass windows of suburban houses.
And climate change could degrade or even eliminate habitats in ways that scientists have only recently begun to study and try to forecast.

Updated: Three Car Wreck On West Main Near Fire Station At The HighlandsRickey Stokes
Posted by: RStokes
Date: Feb 03 2014 8:11 AM
DOTHAN: Dothan Police are in the scene of an accident located at 5798 West Main Street in Dothan.
The accident involved three vehicles at the fire station.
When officers arrived they were advised three car wreck was realy two wrecks. Two children were taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Personal struggle of every Muslim to follow teachings of Islam + resist evil
Sometimes- physical battle against enemies of Islam + willingness to accept martyrdom asultimate submission to Allah.
Physical fighting- not main meaning of Jihad- most of all- lifestyle following example of Muhammad in good conduct + in struggle against evil
Establish Islamic system of life to fulfil + gain Allah's favour
Islam-Peace-practical, peace-loving religion
Muslims-not pacifists- all ways of disputes should be tried before resorting to physical violence.
Muhammad taught followers to defend Islam + led his followers into battle
A war is not Jihad if:
War is declared by a political rather than a religious leader
An individual declares war without support of Muslim community
The war is aggressive not defensive
The purpose is to gain land/power/force conversion to Islam
Peaceful alternatives have not been tried first
Innocent women + children are exposed to physical danger

This activity involves a Rubik's
cube which has been opened out into a net. With this activity it
will help if you have already spent some time playing with an
ordinary 3-dimensional Rubik's cube. It provides excellent training
of your visualisation skills.
To play the net you simply click on the centre of each face to make
it twist anti-clockwise.
You may like to try these activities:
1. Click on the White face1, 2, 3 and 4 times. Try to understand
how it is moving squares on the other faces.
2. Repeat for the other faces to try to understand how the net is
3.Click on the 'Scramble' button for 1 move. The effect of this is
to make one randomly chosen anticlockwise twist of a face. Can you
spot which face must have been twisted? Can you work out how to
undo the effect of this twist?
3. Now try scrambling by 2 moves. Can you spot which moves were
randomly chosen? How would you undo the effects of these
4. You may like to try scrambling by 3 or 4 moves.If you make a
mistake trying to undo the scramble you can reset the last
scrambled state to try again.
Full Screen Version
This text is usually replaced by the Flash movie.
Once a net is highly scrambled (by, say 15 moves) it is impossible
to see how the net became scrambled.
A much more difficult challenge is to try to solve a highly
scrambled net so that an entire face is completed.
Once the entire face is completed you can try to solve so that
the squares adjacent to the completed face are all in the correct
place, as in the following picture:
Progressing beyond this level of solution
is very difficult without a systematic approach. To explore this
idea please see the problem
Solving the Net
Other ideas for playing with the net are:
1) Experiment to find sequences of your own which have nice
properties on the net. For example, can you find the12 twists which
create this net configuration?
2) If you click on a square on the net then it will be blacked out.
Try blacking out the corners, making a few twists and then predict
the colour of the blacked out squares. Click on them to see if you
were correct. This is a great way of exercising your visual mind

Magicjack - Who is JNVIT Solutions Inc, relationship to Magic Jack?
Magic Jack was not working on my home phone, went to my computer and entered Magic Jack and was put in touch with Shane Watson, JVIT Solutions and told I had 1,059 infections on my computer and it would cost me $219.99 for him to correct this plus additional $50.00 for a second computer.I believe this to be a scam.
Who should I contact? I intend to stop payment on this charge. John, "[email protected]". I was told by Mr.
Watson since I was upset he would reduce the cost to cover his 2 hours. Was I set up by this individual or company?

Password Day - Stay Safe Online
Your passwords are your unique way of accessing a variety of different websites, emails accounts and even your own PC. Your password is the most surefire way for these sites to be able to recognise your identity. While you may think you have spent ages coming up with a great password, they can be unbelievably simple for hackers and fraudsters to work out, giving them instant access to all your online information.
The use of strong passwords is therefore essential in order to protect both your online security and identity. The best security in the world is useless if a malicious person has access to a legitimate user name and password.
As a provider of super safe and secure websites, we always advise our clients to think long and hard about the passwords they choose. Here are our top 5 tips for making your passwords as safe as can be:
1. Try and create a password that would be hard for anyone else to guess
Ideally your password should be 12 characters in length, and be a mixture of symbols and numbers, using uppercase and lowercase throughout. Do not be tempted to link your password to your username. Whilst this may seem like an easy way of remembering your own passwords, it’s also a very obvious choice when it comes to malicious use of your online information.
You could even shorten an entire phrase to use as your password, or passphrase for example something like “Banner77youth2upward” is a great mix of words and symbols.
2. Use a different password for each account
Again, whilst it may be harder to remember all of your different passwords, it will also make it much harder for any potential hacks to take place. Having different passwords for all of your online accounts means that they are less vulnerable and less at risk from malicious users. You should try to change passwords regularly - the more often you change it, the more secure your information will be.
3. Use a password manager
To combat forgotten passwords, enlist the help of a secure password manager system. This type of software will store all of your passwords for you and can even generate stronger, more secure passwords should you need them to. This makes your passwords super secure at all times, and stops you needing to worry about remembering them.
4. Turn on multi-factor authentication
By working as an extra layer of protection, multi-factor authentication significantly decreases the risk of someone else accessing your account. These types of procedures supply a greater level of protection than just using a strong password. Examples of a multi-factor authentication could include fingerprint scanning or verification codes that will be sent to your mobile phone number or emailed. These types of extra authentication can be accessed via your mobile phone and are personal to you.
5. Never share your password
As obvious as it sounds, telling everyone else in the office your password, or leaving it written down next to your PC, is a very easy way for strangers to access all of your personal information. Keep your password secret to ensure your ongoing security.
However you keep your online information secure, remember that an experienced and highly skilled web development team can ensure that your own website is safe from anyone trying to access it with bad thoughts in mind. Here at Dynamic Consultants we can build you a safe and super secure website to help grow your business.
So, get involved today and follow the above steps to make sure that you are using secures passwords across all of your online transactions.

Speech by Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam,Minister For Finance, At SAF Day Combined Rededication Ceremony 2008 (West Zone), 1 July 2008, 3.15 pm at ST Kinetics01 Jul 2008
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
I am heartened to see such a good turnout of National Servicemen and employers as we gather here today to mark SAF Day, and to renew our pledge of allegiance and loyalty to the country. Your presence is a reaffirmation of your commitment to the defence of Singapore. Indeed, this rededication ceremony is a good occasion for us to reflect on the importance of defence, the need for National Service, and what we must do to safeguard the peace and security of Singapore.
What we must never do is to take this peace and security for granted. That is why we continue tirelessly to build a strong SAF. And the operational readiness of the SAF draws its strength from every regular and every citizen soldier. While modern equipment and technology are important in building up the SAF's capability, it is ultimately the fighting spirit and commitment of each and every one of you that determines the outcome of any action we are called upon to undertake. On behalf of the Government and people of Singapore, I would like to thank all of you for your service to our nation. You have dedicated yourselves to training hard and preparing for the role entrusted upon you to defend the country and protect our homes. We also recognise and remember the sacrifices of all those who have served.
The SAF also owes its strength to the support of National Service by Singaporeans. In particular, I would like to thank the families and employers of our National Servicemen. Your steadfast support, encouragement and sacrifice have made it possible for your loved ones and employees to carry out their training and operational duties.
Let us continue to play our part to make Singapore a safe, secure, and peaceful home for our children and the generations to come. | <urn:uuid:36868b82-dadd-4cd3-9b27-01cf11b230a7> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.mof.gov.sg/news-publications/speeches/Speech-by-Mr-Tharman-Shanmugaratnam-Minister-For-Finance-At-SAF-Day-Combined-Rededication-Ceremony-2008-(West-Zone)-1-July-2008-3-15-pm-at-ST-Kinetics | 2022-12-09T16:59:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711417.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20221209144722-20221209174722-00462.warc.gz | en | 0.953735 | 399 |
Mayor Celia Wade-Brown says Council agrees with the approach taken by Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment (PCE) to work with urgency on reducing green-house gas emissions while taking time to thoroughly plan and prepare for a rise in the sea level.
Dr Wright’s report recommends more support for councils from Central Government, and advocates taking the time to plan carefully, a stance the Council has already adopted.
“Our work is focused on infrastructure, emissions and urban planning,” she says.
“Wellington City Council is a member of the global “100 Resilient Cities” where ideas and information about the best ways to respond to climate changes and other stress and acute shocks ahead is shared.
“The new Petone to Ngauranga shared path on reclamation to be built on the seaward side of the existing rail tracks and SH2, is a good resilience decision,” she says.
Mayor Wade-Brown noted that sea level rise is only one consequence of climate change. “We can also expect increased storms, severe rainfall, ocean acidification, and new disease vectors,” she says.
Portfolio Leader for Climate Change, Cr David Lee, says the Council approaches everything in terms of a broader resilience framework.
“For sea level rise specifically, we are working on a number of initiatives to deal with our increasingly dynamic coastlines,” he says.
Council’s new Chief Resilience Officer, Mike Mendonça, says the Commissioner’s report is an opportunity to engage in discussion on sea level rise.
“We aren’t alone in worrying about sea level rise and the same discussion is happening around the globe,” he says.
“Sea level rise can’t be wished away – we need to use the science to think and talk about how we might adapt to a changing environment.”
“It is important to have good science, sound understanding of the problem, and knowledge of local conditions, to enable informed debate within the community,” he says.
Council is continuing to take significant steps to reduce emissions
Wellington has large-scale wind farms and the highest rates of walking and public transport commuting in Australia/New Zealand. Council has also supported the insulation of thousands of homes.
Mayor Wade-Brown says while emissions are trending downwards, there is more to do be done and planned future work will be discussed during consultation on the next Climate Change Action Plan. | <urn:uuid:89942cb1-383b-4196-a23e-a8683996c745> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://wellington.govt.nz/your-council/news/2015/11/sea-level-rise-recommendations-welcomed-by-council | 2019-08-23T18:41:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027318952.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20190823172507-20190823194507-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.937395 | 513 |
Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) and Flight Data Recorders
Large commercial aircraft and some smaller commercial,
corporate, and private aircraft are required by the FAA to be equipped
with two "black boxes" that record information about a flight. Both recorders
are installed to help reconstruct the events leading to an aircraft accident.
One of these, the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), records radio transmissions
and sounds in the cockpit, such as the pilot's voices and engine noises.
The other, the Flight Data Recorder (FDR), monitors parameters
such as altitude, airspeed and heading. The older analog units use one-quarter
inch magnetic tape as a storage medium and the newer ones use digital
technology and memory chips. Both recorders are installed in the most
crash survivable part of the aircraft, usually the tail section.
Each recorder is equipped with an Underwater Locator
Beacon (ULB) to assist in locating in the event of an overwater accident.
The device called a "pinger", is activated when the recorder is immersed
in water. It transmits an acoustical signal on 37.5 KHz that can be
detected with a special receiver. The beacon can transmit from depths
down to 14,000 feet.
Following an accident, both recorders are immediately
removed from the accident site and transported to NTSB headquarters
in Washington D.C. for processing. Using sophisticated computer and
audio equipment, the information stored on the recorders is extracted
and translated into an understandable format. The Investigator-in-Charge
uses this information as one of many tools to help the Safety Board
determine the Probable Cause of the accident.
The Cockpit Voice Recorder
The CVR records the flight crew's voices, as well as
other sounds inside the cockpit. The recorder's "cockpit area microphone"
is usually located on the overhead instrument panel between the two
pilots. Sounds of interest to an investigator could be engine noise,
stall warnings, landing gear extension and retraction, and other clicks
and pops. From these sounds, parameters such as engine rpm, system failures,
speed, and the time at which certain events occur can often be determined.
Communications with Air Traffic Control, automated radio weather briefings,
and conversation between the pilots and ground or cabin crew are also
A CVR committee usually consisting of members from the
NTSB, FAA, operator of the aircraft, manufacturer of the airplane, manufacturer
of the engines, and the pilots union, is formed to listen to the recording.
This committee creates a written transcript of the tape to be used during
the investigation. FAA air traffic control tapes with their associated
time codes are used to help determine the local standard time of one
or more events during the accident sequence. These times are applied
to the transcript using a computer process which provides a local time
for every event on the transcript. More precise timing for critical
events can be obtained using a digital spectrum analyzer. This transcript
contains all pertinent portions of the recording and can be released
to the public at the time of the Safety Board's public hearing.
The CVR recordings are treated differently than the
other factual information obtained in an accident investigation. Due
to the highly sensitive nature of the verbal communications inside the
cockpit, Congress has required that the Safety Board not release any
part of a CVR tape recording. Because of this sensitivity, a high degree
of security is provided for the CVR tape and its transcript. The content
and timing of release of the written transcript are strictly regulated:
under federal law, transcripts of pertinent portions of cockpit voice
recordings are released at a Safety Board public hearing on the accident
or, if no hearing is held, when a majority of the factual reports are

Malema pays tribute to dead supporterComment on this story
While waiting at the Palace of Justice to hear the outcome of their case against the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), an Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) supporter slipped in the rain, fell heavily and died.
Party spokesman Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said the man, only known as “Max”, tripped over a park bench in Church Square while running.
“Apparently he fell and hit his head very hard. Moments later he died,” Ndlozi said.
Media who wanted to get a picture of the scene were barred and pushed away by EFF members.
One member shouted into the crowd that “we do not want bloody agents” at the scene.
Tshwane emergency services spokesman Johan Pieterse confirmed that the man was declared dead on the scene. The body lay a few hours on the square, covered in foil, before it was removed.
Members started singing and chanting on the steps of the court awaiting their leader Julius Malema to address them.
Ndlozi said Max’s family and the party leadership - the members of which were in court - had been notified about the death.
Emerging from the court after judgment was reserved in the case, Malema paid tribute to the dead man. He praised him for being at the high court to fight for the restoration of dignity among the poor.
“He will not rest in peace if we don’t continue with this fight,” Malema said.
“We are proud of that fighter. We will not disappoint nor betray him and will carry on the fight for the dignity of the poor. If we fail to do that, he will not sleep peacefully.” - Pretoria News | <urn:uuid:d3e09996-03bb-4ff7-980b-0bdb6b2336d9> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/malema-pays-tribute-to-dead-supporter-1.1657269 | 2015-11-28T00:27:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398450715.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205410-00187-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97608 | 371 |

- Wedding: July 2011
So this past Saturday I was actually able to get my out-of-state mom, sister and future Mother-In-Law up to go dress shopping. I forgot to bring a camera but here it is!
Its from the Priscilla of Boston Jewel line – JL226. Does anyone have that dress?
I wish I had some pictures of me in it, but I love the shape, especially since I’m 5’9”. Also, since my wedding is outside in july, I like the floral pattern and you can’t really see it on that website but the outside is very sequincy which will be fun in our evening reception.
The only thing I’m worried about is alterations. My hips are a 10, so we had to order a 10, but my waist and bust are more in the 6 range…. I hope the dress doesn’t need a ton of alterations…
So bees, what do you think? | <urn:uuid:f8cbdda7-f301-4fd8-ad3e-ad7bf680f8ea> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/i-found-my-dress-17/ | 2018-04-20T07:44:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125937161.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20180420061851-20180420081851-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.966237 | 214 |

Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones like to do everything together. Living, loving, rockin' and rollin', writing music, singing songs, even finishing each others sentences while double-teaming an unsuspecting interviewer trying to keep a three-way conversation going.
The duo that forms equal parts of the country group Steel Magnolia seem like a rare pair. Linsey is a bright-eyed, 25-year-old blonde bombshell with a bubbly personality and some nitty-gritty pipes. Jones is a dark-eyed, curly-haired 30-year-old man of mystery with the prettier, higher register. Guarded and reserved initially, he answers questions thoughtfully, pragmatically, before revealing a dry sense of humor. You can almost see the wink in his wry.
Like their voices, they seem nothing alike. Put them and their blended vocals together, though, and Linsey and Jones seem perfectly suited for that new NBC comedy.
Only their too-good-to-be-true story is better than good, and more authentic than anything documentary filmmakers like Michael Moore or Ken Burns could develop. Here's your reality TV, pardner.
Get this: A down-on-his-luck, "bird-dogging" guy from Illinois meets a blues-beltin', balls-to-the-wall babe from Louisiana ripping through Susan Tedeschi's "It Hurts So Bad" in a karaoke bar in Nashville, gets blown away with the voice, then stops "everything I was doing."
They try out for one of those made-for-TV talent shows, fall in love, win the contest, earn a big-time country recording contract, release their first album and become overnight sensations, give or take a few months or so.
Are they for real? Yeah, man, they'll say, almost simultaneously. And, as corny as it sounds, they make beautiful music together.
All the guy-walking-into-a-karaoke-bar story lacked was a punch line. Maybe they'll eventually write that one, too. "It's funny how the story in hindsight ... I'm kinda starting to enjoy it because it seems from a movie but it's completely ... it's the way it was," Jones was saying on his cell phone from New York on the eve of their debut album release on Big Machine Records. Of course, Linsey was there, too, via speakerphone. The band and the album of the same name -- almost three weeks after its launch -- have made a sudden impact after the duo waited nearly a year for their passion player to come out.
"We've been through a lot," Jones adds, knowing the rest of the story might seem just as hard to believe.
To know their story, you must first get to know Steel Magnolia. Linsey grew up in the Deep South, first in New Orleans, then Ponchatoula, north of Lake Ponchartrain. Her parents were supportive of her career, with mom helping 14-year-old Meghan put together a band that would play country radio-sponsored festivals before she let her daughter take trips to Nashville to start writing songs and recording (that's Linsey, right, with Jones).
Jones was brought up in Charleston, Illinois by an adoptive family that didn't take his music career seriously. "I'm not saying they weren't supportive in the way parents need to be supportive," he says now. "But as far as that went, my dad was just like, 'Go down to the factory and get a job.' "
Right on cue, the first of many playful exchanges takes place.
Meaghan: "Yeah, I've worked at probably every karaoke bar in Nashville (laughs). It's kinda what I did for like five years when I first moved to town, that was the first job I got. It was a good place to just go in and sing all the time ..."
Josh: "And at the time, it was a good place for me to go in and drink for free." (And they both laugh.)
Meaghan: "He got to know the bartender."
Josh: "I would say it was our introduction into live performance on a different level. Because, by midnight, everybody gets pretty rowdy and they don't play any slow songs. And you get up there, and we put in songs and just really get into character. It was kinda crazy, really."
It wasn't until late in 2008 when their professional partnership finally paid off, though. That was after some tough times sleeping in the car with their two dogs, Patti and Rufus. Or, when they finally did find an apartment, turning on the oven to provide the only source of heat.
Meaghan: "We're not like the kids who had parents with tons of money to put into our career. We've really had to, you know, work to ... "
Josh: "We had to get on a reality show, you know." (laughing)
Meghan (still laughing): "Yeah, so it's just been a journey, you know. And we've done a lot of it together."
It took words of encouragement -- and a temporary home -- provided by Nashville singer-songwriter Bekka Bramlett, the daughter of Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett, to make Jones and Linsey feel wanted in the Music City.
After introducing himself to Bramlett at a Blue Monday Writer's Night, Jones, who had previously seen her perform at the Bluebird Cafe ("I had broken down crying three different times when I head her sing because she was so powerful"), found the courage to ask if the three of them could start writing songs together.
That eventually led to the "reality show." Season 2 of Can You Duet, CMT's singing competition produced by the creators of American Idol, employed judges -- Big Machine's president and CEO Scott Borchetta, Naomi Judd and Big Kenny from Big & Rich (pictured left to right) -- who were the lone arbiters in this contest.
With the October 2008 win came a recording contract with Big Machine and life since then, has "Been crazy, man," Linsey says. "We pretty much hit the ground running."
For strategic reasons, the record's release was delayed twice in 2010, for which Linsey sounds grateful. But Jones doesn't hide his frustration.
Meaghan, pointing out that probably at least "15 superstar acts" came out with records in the last quarter of 2010: "I think it was a smart move to move the record to January; it gives us a lot of room to breathe and maybe a chance for people to actually hear it that wouldn't have."
Josh: "I think people get to only hear a certain side of you when you put out a record like this; we were anxious for everybody to hear the thing front to back rather than hearing singles that were picked; I think that was kind of frustrating; and then playing a tour in the summer (opening for Brad Paisley) without having a full record was kind of ... different, you know. But now we're glad. ... (Before that), everybody else has their record out and we're just sitting around, you know what I'm saying? It's like, 'Hey, we want our record to come out, too.' "
Now that it's out, this 12-song collection (seven of which they co-wrote) has received a fair share of critical acclaim, getting a "B" grade from Entertainment Weekly ("Having two equally strong voices keeps them unique.") Steel Magnolia is on the fast track professionally, opening up some shows for Blake Shelton beginning January 28, being featured in a five-page spread in Country Weekly and getting nominated for "Top New Vocal Duo or Group," at the Academy of Country Music Awards to be held in Las Vegas on April 3. (Fan voting began this week and continues through February 24 at voteacm.com.)
So do they dare talk about their personal relationship?
Meghan: "We started out friends and then we started dating and then the music thing kind of came last. We were together probably a year when we started writing and singing together."
Josh, after being asked how things are going personally: "Terribly, man, we're in shambles." (laughs)
Meghan: "Oh, he's lying."
Josh: "No, everything's going good. We're too busy to argue."
Meghan: "Yeah, it's been great, man. We actually kind of like having someone there that understands what you're going through. It's a really hard business, being in the music business. You can try to convey that to other people, but I don't think anybody ever fully understands unless you're in it."
Both Linsey and Jones like to invoke the names of famous country pairings such as Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and George Jones and Johnny Cash and June Carter -- and even the Everly Brothers -- as sources of inspiration.
They both (naturally) realize it's tough to keep a good thing going on stage and off.
Meaghan: "I think our relationship and the connection we have is very rare."
Josh (in measured tones): "Yeah, the circumstances are kinda, you know ... we spend a lot of time together but at the end of the day, we really like each other."
Asked when they'll be ready to take this relationship to the next level, Meghan gets interrupted as she starts to say, "Musically ..."
No, no, personally.
Josh: "Oh, personally, yeah, we plan on making the next record (Meghan laughs) very, very personal; kind of delving into new territory."
And does that include the sound wedding bells?
Josh: "Well, the thing is that we're already married ... to our music."
Meghan (groaning): "Oh, my God. Nah, we'll get married one day, probably. We'll see. We don't like ... I don't know. We get along pretty good and things are going pretty well and we're pretty busy, so we haven't thought about it too much."
For now, they believe in the enduring power of love and the will to survive, telling all in breaking up/making up songs such as "Without You," "Last Night Again" and "Edge of Goodbye," a pull-no-punches, battle-of-the-sexes brouhaha with no clear winner. Coming from a pair who described themselves as "broken-hearted people" at some point in their lives, even the loneliest of the lovelorn should find some hope.
"I think that people want to believe in love stories and that love lasts and I think that deep down ... that's comforting," Jones says.
Maybe they were made for each other ... and at least one episode of Perfect Couples.

Duggar patriarch, Jim Bob Duggar, 49, reveals Seewald recently left his parent’s home four hours away in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to come live in Tontitown. “We have a guesthouse in front of our house, with a shower and everything, separate from the main house,” reveals Duggar of his future son-in-law’s new digs.
Seewald, 19, is now working for the Duggars to earn his keep in order to be closer to his future bride, who he proposed to on August 14 after 11 months of courtship.
“We have so many projects to do that we need help for—everything from construction projects to keeping the grass mowed to putting roof on a building, paperwork and things like that—and we asked him if he would be interested in moving up here so that Jessa and his relationship could be really accelerated,” says Duggar, noting that Seewald “was all for it and his parents were happy about it ”
There’s little chance for the couple to spend time alone with so many people always around the Duggar compound— not that they would if they could!
Seeward and his 21-year-old soon-to-be wife have revealed that holding hands was out of the question until the got engaged, and they insist they will wait until their wedding day to share their first kiss.
“It is a little more labor intensive for Dad,” notes the elder Duggar of monitoring his daughter’s courtship. “We did set a curfew. By midnight, every night, we need to make sure everybody is back in their place.”
So far everything has gone without a hitch.
“It has been really good,” says Duggar. “He has been able to spend a lot more time with Jessa and our family.” | <urn:uuid:4f59527d-1bab-4271-8a3d-f27ace437276> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/08/engaged-ben-seewald-jessa-duggar-require-chaperone/ | 2015-04-26T12:17:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246654292.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045734-00138-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98674 | 404 |
India expels US official in retaliation for Washington’s expulsion of diplomat

India asked the US to withdraw the official as Devyani Khobragade (39), the Indian diplomat charged with falsifying visa documents and lying about underpaying her housekeeper, arrived home after being allowed to leave the US in a political deal aimed at easing tensions in US-India relations.
The US official asked to leave India is of an equal rank to Ms Khobragade. This is only the second time a US diplomat has been expelled from India.A spokeswoman for the US State Department confirmed that a US official in New Delhi will be returning to the US at the request of the Indian government.
She said that the US deeply regrets that the Indian government felt it necessary to expel the official, describing the relations between the two countries as “challenging”.
Ms Khobragade, India’s deputy consul general at the United Nations in New York, was indicted by a federal jury on Thursday but will not be arraigned after the US acknowledged her diplomatic immunity. The US had asked the Indian government to waive her diplomatic immunity to allow the prosecution of the case but when it refused, the Indian diplomat was asked to leave the US.
She was allowed to leave India late that night. Her arrest by State Department agents on December 12th outside her children’s school in Manhattan and her subsequent strip-search while being detained caused a furore in India and erupted a diplomatic spat between the two countries.
“She is pleased to be returning to her country,” her attorney Daniel Arshank said on Thursday. “Her head is held high.”
Prosecutors, led by Indian-born US attorney in Manhattan Preet Bharara, claim Ms Khobragade paid Sangeeta Richard, a domestic worker she brought to the United States from India, as little as $3.31 (€2.41) an hour, despite pledging to pay her the $9.50 an hour minimum wage on her visa application.
In new details disclosed in the indictment against her, Ms Khobragade and others are alleged to have attempted to “silence and intimidate the victim and her family and lie to Indian authorities and courts”.
Mr Bharara has told the court that the charges will remain outstanding against Ms Khobragade, who claims that the charges against her are false and baseless. | <urn:uuid:4af60aa2-4073-4a7b-850e-69d48bb7be3a> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/us/india-expels-us-official-in-retaliation-for-washington-s-expulsion-of-diplomat-1.1651431 | 2015-08-02T14:52:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989126.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00186-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973102 | 565 |
UPDATE: Ken Glass tipped us off that the Starbucks at South Island and on 27th will show the Inauguration live. Thanks SBUX!
I’ve called the Roanoke, the Islander, and Bennett’s to see if any of them will be open for the Inauguration ceremonies, which start about 8 am Tuesday. So far no luck- they all open at 11 with no special hours for tomorrow. Of course, they’ll be open in the evening for celebration on their normal schedule.
Anybody know of a place that will be open? Leave a comment.
There’s also a potluck being thrown by a private citizen on Mercer Island, sponsored by Moveon.Org. It’s open to the public but you need to RSVP. | <urn:uuid:8c39fed8-494c-42c9-a6f8-c6735edbe8a9> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://mercerislandblogger.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/where-to-watch-the-inauguration-on-mercer-island/ | 2018-06-24T03:30:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866191.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624024705-20180624044705-00173.warc.gz | en | 0.922654 | 165 |
Anton Bauer to be featured on "21st Century Health"
Multi-media Productions (USA) is pleased to announce that Anton Bauer has been selected to appear on 21st Century Business, an award winning international television series.
InterActive® chargers and Logic Series® batteries such as the HyTRON® 50, 100 and 140, and DIONIC® 90, 160, 270, LiFe, HC, and HCX. Anton/Bauer’s high performance products include the Anton/Bauer HotSwap, MPS-4 and the WPA Modular Power System. Their superior-quality products have become an industry standard.
The US government has mandated that hospitals and other medical facilities adopt electronic medical records (EHR/EMR) by 2014. In order to effectively utilize the EHR/EMR system, hospitals purchase medical workstations that make the computer and monitor completely mobile. Since most hospitals are under a budget-crunch and seeking meaningful use credit, here are some benefits of the Anton Bauer HotSwap:
•ROI: If a hospital purchases a system that needs to be plugged in for 5+ hours per day, the hospital automatically loses the opportunity to capture 20% of the investment due to workstation unavailability
• Function: The Anton/Bauer HotSwap power system maximizes Caregiver workflow. There is no need interrupt care because of dead batteries
• Design: Clean/simple design without infection control issues
• Maintenance: The HotSwap is modular so if a component is damaged, it is easily replaceable

Apple announced Wednesday that its new Silicon Valley headquarters will open in April as Apple Park. The 175-acre campus in Cupertino boasts grassy fields, 9,000 drought-resistant trees and futuristically designed clean energy buildings that will house more than 12,000 Apple employees.
Apple has also revealed that the campus' 1,000-seat, glass cylinder auditorium will be named the Steve Jobs Theater, in honor of the late co-founder, who would have turned 62 this Friday, February 24.
"Steve was exhilarated, and inspired, by the California landscape, by its light and its expansiveness. It was his favorite setting for thought. Apple Park captures his spirit uncannily well," said Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs. "He would have flourished, as the people of Apple surely will, on this luminously designed campus."
Apple Park's many perks -- such as a 100,000-square-foot fitness center, two miles of walking and running paths, an orchard, meadow and a pond -- are for Apple employees only. But there will be a visitors center and an Apple Store on site that's open to the public.
Apple Park is powered by 100 percent renewable energy, with 17 megawatts of rooftop solar generated from what Apple says is one of the largest on-site solar energy installations in the world. The main employee building is ring-shaped with 2.8 million-square-feet of work space. The spaceship-like building is naturally ventilated and projected to maintain temperature without heating or air conditioning for nine months of the year.
"Steve's vision for Apple stretched far beyond his time with us. He intended Apple Park to be the home of innovation for generations to come," said Apple CEO Tim Cook. "The workspaces and parklands are designed to inspire our team as well as benefit the environment. We've achieved one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world and the campus will run entirely on renewable energy." | <urn:uuid:750be750-ba53-44e6-9bda-507d88a557f9> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.zdnet.com/article/apples-new-campus-apple-park-opens-in-april/ | 2017-06-25T12:48:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320491.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625115717-20170625135717-00660.warc.gz | en | 0.970827 | 404 |

- Among terriers, only the Yorkshire terrier and the Boston terrier saw more registrations in 1998.
- The breed remained popular until World War I, when the Boston terrier gained overnight celebrity, supplanting the French bulldog as high society's favorite little dog.
- Like Boston cream pie, which isn't really a pie, the Boston terrier isn't precisely a terrier, though the breed's original ingredients did include a number of terriers.

So, you finally decided to stop being a doormat.
First off, accept sincere congratulations from this former people pleaser who now wields her boundary-setting prowess with ninja-like precision. Thanks to the encouragement of a therapist and countless self-sacrificial fails, I routinely partake in putting the most epic of smackdowns on human leeches, unreasonable requests and the urge to say yes when I really mean hell to the no, and I must say — it feels damn good.
Due to the horrible things that happen when you fail to assert yourself, I’d advise anyone involved in this self-destructive game of putting everyone else’s needs before your own to start playing a “me first” version of hardball ASAP. That said, reversing the habit isn’t quite that simple – just ask Oprah, who admitted to being a pushover in the past.
While giving up the doormat life doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll become the next Grand Goddess of Goodness with a complementary Stedman Graham lookalike, these six life changes that take place post-doormat status are reason enough for you to start putting yourself first – with no apologies.
Some users might pull a vanishing act, while others will resist the new you.
When you do away with a doormat mentality, you’re bound to off-load some dysfunctional relationships by default (and good riddance to them). Don’t be surprised to see far less of those whose viability is normally rooted in your reliability. However, in the case of anyone who doesn’t immediately perform a silent two-step out the nearest side door along with the rest of the people you’ve stopped enabling, standing your ground with them is key even if it feels unnatural in the beginning.
More time and energy for self-care.
Aside from flourishing edges, here’s something else reformed doormats can expect to have more of: time and energy. Disengaging from the draining act of people pleasing automatically frees up more opportunity for invaluable “me” time and the ability to mentally recharge. When you commit to being every woman to everyone but yourself, losing your sense of self is inevitable. Over time, your choices, thoughts, feelings and priorities become a blur beneath a growing pile of collective to-do lists that you didn’t create. Ridding yourself of the need to please clears the path to rediscovering and redefining who you are.
Saying “no” becomes less scary.
For those who lack the skills to pull off assertiveness, the imagined backlash or rejection associated with uttering such a potent one-syllable word might prompt cold sweats, nightmares and near-anxiety attacks. When I first moved beyond my fear of turning folks down, it felt like someone flipped on a light switch inside of me, illuminating the fact that people who truly cared about me didn’t simply stop because I denied their requests. Besides, a lifetime of fulfilling everyone else’s needs to the point that it becomes a detriment to your well-being is infinitely more frightening than saying no.

Rare find – one of just over 200 Typhoons originally finished in paint code 44U Forest Green Metallic. Low miles and in good overall condition, nice tires and no rust. Unfortunately had low compression and appears to be a blown head-gasket. Ominous sounds from the engine so good project for a SyTy enthusiast to take over.
Yes, Japan like American hot rods – Corvettes, Shelby Mustangs and drifting DAJIBAN – and coming across this GMC Typhoon at the auctions was a pleasant surprise. With it’s distinctive looks, innovative layout and stellar performance, the Typhoon had an instant cult-following. And Japan auto enthusiasts like their cult-cars like nowhere else on earth. I can imagine how much fun the original owner must have had, dipping into the power as the light turns green in the streets of Tokyo in the early 1990’s.
More on the Typhoon from Wikipedia – both the GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm2 turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L LB4 V6 intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48 mm (2 in) twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine. All Syclones and Typhoons had a 700r4 4-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner 1372 (Syclone)/4472 (Typhoon) transfer case splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. Both trucks featured all-wheel drive, upgraded brakes, and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. Unlike the Syclone, the Typhoon featured an air-operated self-leveling rear suspension. Output was 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m).
The Typhoon was capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.5 seconds at 95 mph (153 km/h). Car and Driver compared the Syclone’s performance favorably to the Ferrari 348ts, Chevrolet Corvette, and Nissan 300ZX Turbo. It cost US$29,970, though the magazine criticized the plasticy interior pieces. | <urn:uuid:84afece6-b774-4b1d-aa2f-5a4881b22426> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://sodo-moto.com/listings/1992-gmc-typhoon/ | 2019-02-23T21:20:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550249550830.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20190223203317-20190223225317-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.926887 | 471 |

Compared to other segments, the number of national and regional seafood chains that compete in the restaurant industry is relatively small. Landry's Chairman, President and CEO Tilman Fertitta believes this gives the Company a significant opportunity to capitalize on its high-energy, casual dining seafood restaurants.
Multiple Appealing Concepts
With its multiple-concept approach, Landry's appeals to customers of all ages, backgrounds, income brackets and interests. The Company seeks to set industry standards, not follow them.
Location is Key
Landry's locates its restaurants close to major retail, convention, entertainment and business centers, as well as at historical and waterfront sites.
The Landry's culture motivates employees to achieve their full potential. They're challenged to improve through leadership, focus, intensity and persistence — and to create a work environment of pride, honesty, integrity and loyalty. Innovative training programs designed to strengthen the Company's management foundation also encourage employees toward career growth.
Fertitta believes in a hands-on approach focused on service, quality and profitability. Landry's staff is a winning team committed to high standards, which they achieve through good organization and communication.

Summary: I have had this for 3 days - so far it has exceeded my expectations (except audio).This is a rugged laptop - period. Good for kids, good for travel and 13.3" is the perfect screen size. This is a dual core Celeron (cache is low vs. i3/i5). So far hasn't choked on any application. First set up and then remove Netnanny if you have to. Comes with 2 fee movies for the kids. It looks nice (with the green accents).
Summary: My Sony 19-inch "small-footprint" monster died and I needed a budget machine for work. I like this because it's a Toshiba, it's light, has a rubberized keyboard, and green accents. It was a bargain at Best Buy. The downside was Net Nanny (now uninstalled); the mousepad is a little jumpy and random; and the speakers are horrible. Headphones are definitely necessary. This little laptop works for now.
Summary: I bought this at best buy for 399.I have had this for a few days and i love it. I switche doperating systems becuase I don't like windows7 but and the battery isnt the best but otherwise it is an excellent machine. The processor is great, based on how Intel rates thier products I wasn't sure what to expect but I can play Civilization 5 with no problem as well as do my college work and stream online.
Summary: The Toshiba Satellite L635 is a great basic laptop, and is commonly available new for under $400 (I paid $399.00 plus sales tax.) This computer is really designed for kids, and ruggedness is the name of its game. It has a washable, removable rubberized covering for the keys which minimizes damages from liquid spills, and is generally made to be treated rougher than many lightweight machines.
Excerpt: Who says that buying a laptop for cheap is a bad thing. It’s always a bad thing, not to me. I have my opinions on when to buy a laptop and for how much. I don’t know exactly what made me buy the Toshiba Satellite Laptop but I did.
Summary: I bought this laptop for my son and he loves it...I agree with another poster that it's not worth the price listed when it's a bestbuy for 499.99 and I got the free backpack and mouse with mine...I wouldn't spend the seven hundred bucks wanted for this pc it's just not worth it...I wish it had a bigger hard drive....and I can't seem to unlock the movies on it...but I will figure it out...overall I like the pc and my son loves it..
Excerpt: Приобрела его для работы с графикой. Удобен для офисной работы. Доступная цена и надежная фирма производитель. Удобная клавиатура (без надоедливых клацаней), да и дизайн приятный. В общем, не жалуюсь.
Pros: Цена, надежность, быстрота, да и просто радует глаз | <urn:uuid:1cf6e3a4-9af0-4112-9f77-18e06a2235d4> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.testfreaks.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-l635/user-reviews/ | 2015-02-28T20:05:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936462035.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074102-00114-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.93304 | 848 |

This season Carragher does not want United to fail; he wants Liverpool to succeed - a subtle difference, but one he is keen to emphasise.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "United got No .19 last season and that hurt everybody connected with Liverpool. But we can't just sit here hoping they don't win another one.
"If we want to stop them being champions then the best way to do it is to finish top ourselves. It's the same with the Champions League. I don't want to be sat here in 10 years' time talking about the fact that United have won more European Cups than us - and the best way to stop that is to qualify for the Champions League and win it again.
"What was it for them - 26 years was it? We'll be doing what we can to make sure we don't break their record! I think during that time, they also got relegated. I don't think that will ever happen to Liverpool - and you can quote me on that. I won't stop hoping or believing, but I am realistic enough to know that time is running out for me to win it.
"I think what the manager has been quick to address is the fact that we haven't had the same strength in depth as other top teams. It can't be just about 1 to 11.
"It's a squad game now because of all the matches and the boss has really prepared for that.
"In the past we have perhaps relied on the likes of Stevie (Gerrard) or (Fernando) Torres a bit too much and I think that's something the manager has been looking to address with the signings he's made." | <urn:uuid:f2e8055c-86a6-4f7f-959a-ab765377ca95> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/carragher-liverpool-must-meet-man-utd-standards-not-wait-them-fail-1802991 | 2015-08-31T14:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644066017.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025426-00207-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990255 | 345 |
Read the rest of what she wrote after the cut..."CELEBRITIES are not supernatural being.It's so #PATHETIC of anyone to think otherwise...
WORDS!!!Those five letters can make or break anyone.D words u hear can either lift u up or bring u down.
Forget about d usually high school Bullies. High tech bullies (cyber bullying) are deadly!!!! D way you people furiously attack other people's picture,career,family,evenworse,children is terrible. It's even more disheartening when I see grownups doing this.
How does one criticized their fellow human being in such manner? Hiding behind d Keyboard to make other people miserable will never add values to your life.I have noticed this predominantly among Nigerians/Africans.
Don't get me started on Nigerian artist both actors & musicians.
Thereis something called constructive criticism or unbiased opinion.I must commend Nigerian artists,they are actually doing their best with whatthey've got.In a country as frustrating as Nigeria, no light, no water, pricy fuel & bad road, currency inflation, they still managed to produce decent movies.
Nigeria's movie industry has actually improved a great deal,most especiallyd Yoruba movie industry.
We have great actors and procedures producing & acting in great movies.It's sad to see that these folks still get attacked on social media.
People felt it's their calling to meddle in these people's personal life.
These folks are not made of stones.They have feelings just like u & I.I don't think I can sit back& let anyone attack me or my family like that.
Only a coward sits behind a screen & a keyboard & bully other people.We need to do better, let your words encourage,lift & build others. Remember we'll all give an account of every idle words.Let's build each other up.
Uplift other people's business.If u have to say something think about your words. if u are in d other person's shoes, hw wil u feel if those words are spoken to u?

If I close my eyes for a little while,
I can always see your smile.
every time I hear a voice,
My mind goes back to times before.
Laughter drifts from someplace close
And I can almost feel you near.
When the wind blows through my hair,
I feel your hands brush it back.
Looking in the mirror,
I see you standing there,
Arms wrapped around my waist,
Holding me tight.
You turn and smile,
And softly disappear.
But if I close my eyes,
I know I'll see that smile,
Hear your voice whisper from the shadows,
And feel your touch against my cheek.
And when I wake,
You'll still be gone,
But the memories I've got,
Should get me through the day. | <urn:uuid:7f8bf2a7-2525-4c35-be12-a1938d5127c3> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.booksie.com/romance/poetry/poet_3/memories | 2015-09-02T21:57:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440645293619.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827031453-00104-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.890042 | 174 |
1.>I got the impression that Nimbus III was a wasteland of planet all but forgotten and ships didn't visit it and there where no ships there, after all surely they had already been used to get off the planet. 2.>Agreed though depending on the plane of the system and the way the reliant approached it they could have thought the other planet was behind the sun as the reliant appraoched and the sun was masking the location of the planet (a stretch I knoother). As for the second part Kahn was so obsessed with beating Kirk he had tunnel vision focusing so much on that one goal that he missed it. How many of us when we focus on one thing miss other things. 3.>If you are talking about the probe in ST IV, remember they where only harmful to humanoids, it almost seemed to be some terraforming on Earth to prepare it for new whale life. as Spock said in the film "Only arrogance would assume the transmission was meant for us" 4.>Agree on the first part, as for the second part passage through the Borg temporal fissure causes the sensors to go down.

Giuseppe Rossi has been ruled out for another six months with a new knee injury, but his agent blamed Villarreal and is sure “he will overcome this too.”
The Italy and Villarreal striker had damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in late October and was ready for his comeback when suffering the same injury again in training this week.
He will be sidelined for another six months, ruling him out of Euro 2012 this summer.
“I wasn’t able to talk to him for much yesterday, as Giuseppe did not want to contact anyone,” agent Federico Pastorello told Sky Sport Italia.
“Today he seemed calmer. He has incredible character and great willpower, so this is a terrible blow, but he will overcome this too.
“It was a banal incident that caused it. He had been training with the team for three weeks and yesterday intensified his work to prepare for a friendly.
“In order to avoid a sliding tackle he jumped over his teammate and in falling felt pain. It is incredible that the same knee was so weak after surgery as to not hold up, so the cause has to be investigated thoroughly.
“He is angry, but also felt so much warmth from the people. For the first operation we allowed ourselves to receive advice from Villarreal, but now we will give priority to what Rossi wants.” | <urn:uuid:2f925be8-053d-4ffc-afd4-180b6f8cfca3> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.football-italia.net/17707/rossi-will-overcome-new-injury | 2017-10-19T06:19:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823229.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019050401-20171019070401-00104.warc.gz | en | 0.986489 | 298 |

Advanced projection mapping, pre-visualisation, uncompressed multiple-source video playback and new 3D media and modelling features are among the major new additions in the latest version of Dataton’s Watchout multi-display software, launched at ISE 2015 yesterday.
Watchout version 6 also has a radically revamped user interface, and represents “the most significant upgrade in the 15-year history of the software,” said Mike Fahl, Dataton’s chief software architect. “It’s bursting at the seams with powerful new features for show creators and offers the same rock-solid performance that users have come to expect from Watchout.”
Scheduled for release this Spring, v6 offers new creative tools and smoother workflow for 3D projection and complicated mapping.
The new 3D Projector feature simplifies the accurate programming and line-up of complex 3D geometry projections. Now, any number of virtual projectors can be placed around a 3D object on screen, then re-positioned and corrected to create the perfect projection setup. There is also new marker-based calibration to match the on-screen setup with a real-world object. Watchout calculates all parameters automatically, aligning the virtual 3D Projector to the exact location for total control over the final projection. | <urn:uuid:1bde3617-1d14-4d60-9697-8e3e96ab75a4> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.installation-international.com/ise-daily/dataton-unveils-new-features-watchout-upgrade | 2019-06-19T08:17:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998923.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619063711-20190619085711-00502.warc.gz | en | 0.891323 | 270 |
The plan was too ambitious. That’s exactly what Charles Moerdler thought as he sat as a member of Community Board 8’s land use committee back in Summer 1980.
Millbuck Homes wanted to build 33 low-rise condominium units on the site of one the area’s last grand manors between West 246th Street and Douglas Avenue on what would become Delafield Estates.
Named for Maj. Joseph Delafield, one of Riverdale’s founding fathers back when the land was still part of Westchester County, these last 10 acres remained in the family until 1965 when Edward Delafield donated the property to Columbia University, with some hopes that the Ivy League school’s president might reside in the Delafield mansion that still stood guard at the heart of the land.
It never happened. Instead, the property’s only resident in the 1960s was a chimpanzee being taught how to communicate by Columbia grad students.
Columbia eventually sold the land, with Millbuck hoping to sell condos at price points beginning at $1.25 million in today’s currency.
Neighbors living in the homes around Delafield Estates were not happy. Bronx borough president Stanley Simon was worried developers might try to build high-rises. And Moerdler didn’t think anything would be built at all.
To ensure that, at the very least, the land would be restored to its original, natural beauty, Moerdler proposed Millbuck put up a $1 million bond — equal to more than $3 million today.
A number of bankrupted owners, a fire-destroyed mansion and 40 years later, Moerdler is still dealing with Delafield Estates. But now, with the financial backing of real estate developer Abraham Talassazan, the property is closer than ever before to finishing what are now expected to be high-end single-family homes.
There are 15 already built, and Talassazan wants to build 19 more. But even four decades haven’t softened the rest of the neighborhood that surrounds his development, erecting obstacles for everything from tapping into the community’s private century-old sewer system, to pointing a few driveways toward neighboring streets like Douglas Avenue.
“For 70 years, we’ve managed and maintained some 20,000 linear feet of lines to hundreds of properties and four major apartment buildings,” said Susan Morgenthau, president of Riverdale Sanitation Corp., which manages the sewer lines. “We’re the sole provider of those services, and it’s very important to us that when there is any type of residential development or any type of real estate development, that we protect those lines.”
Most of the sanitation group’s issues have to do with how driveways could cross the terra cotta piping, and many of its culverts.
Talassazan’s architect, Michael Goldblum, said Delafield’s effect on the sewer system was a high priority.
“We all know that this project has taken a very long time, and we apologize for how long it’s taken,” Goldblum said. “But there are a lot of moving parts.”
Many of those moving parts will have to come together soon since Delafield Estates is now on the clock in terms of the planning process. While much of the project could be built as-of-right, according to Goldblum, the fact the development laid dormant for so many years required it to go through the city planning process once again.
As part of that process, Goldblum and others on his development team have met not only with Morgenthau, but many of the groups representing neighbors, including one led by architect Sherida Paulsen. As controversial as some of the earlier plans have been over the decades, she described one major positive — limiting water runoff to inside the neighborhood, and not flooding neighboring streets like West 246th and Douglas.
“These new houses, these new designs, some of them are on the steep slopes on the property,” Paulsen said. “It forces us to ask the question of how does this qualify as a minor modification when it dramatically changes what it impacts?”
While the city planning department views the changes as minor, even Goldblum admits that there have been some significant changes to the plans, even in the last few weeks as a result of these various conversations with neighbors. While the number of houses proposed remains the same — 19 — the amount of total floor area has been reduced dramatically from 132,000 square feet to just under 112,000. Total lot coverage also will drop, providing for larger natural lots inside the community’s Special Natural Area District.
“The impervious ground cover counts not only the footprint of the houses, but the footprint of all the paving,” Goldblum said. “It allows as much water to be absorbed by the soil as possible.”
Goldbum also plans to save as many of the nearly 550 trees on site as possible. While some of the original plans would have removed a fifth of them, once the houses are built, only nine trees would be ultimately lost.
The Delafield Estates discussion took up more than two hours of the land use committee’s meeting Monday night at The Riverdale Y, but it’s still not quite enough for Moerdler. He’s asked Goldblum and his team to return once again for a special meeting the committee is planning before the end of the month. CB8 has until the end of April to provide its recommendation to city planning.
“I think you have a lot of work to do before then,” Moerdler said. “Get back to us as quickly as you can.” | <urn:uuid:c13ab421-bfdf-4f3b-a80f-c84824dbbe93> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://riverdalepress.com/stories/new-homes-bring-end-old-controversy-delafield-bronx-nyc,71385 | 2021-02-26T09:49:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178356456.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226085543-20210226115543-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.962401 | 1,222 |

Just a quickie today to get a little terminology straight :) You hear me mention the term CSA program or CSA farm a lot in my blog posts and on the podcast.
So what is a CSA program??
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA Programs involve a farm selling a "share" of produce, meat, eggs, or other food products to a family for the season. This means that if you buy a CSA Share at a farm, they will now provide you with a share of the harvest throughout the season.
The standard produce model involves someone buying a share up front - typically either paying 50% down or paying in full - then offering pick ups every week or every other week throughout the season. These pick ups may occur at the farm, a farmers' market, a grocery store, or at another CSA members' home.
Most farms offer summer shares which range from minimally June - September, although some will cover about 6 months from roughly April - October. There are fewer farms in Oregon that offer winter shares, but there absolutely are some.
So if you wanted to, you could feasibly participate in CSA programs that cover almost every week of the year - I have for several years and love it! I joke with my husband during the few weeks between CSA shares that I hardly know how to shop for produce anymore. ;)

On Monday October 6, 2014 Tarah rushed our daughter Shylah to the Emergency Room at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. She had been having complication with breathing and catching her breath, which we believed to be virus related.
We had been to her pediatrician and treating her for what we believed was just a cold she caught, causing inflammation of her lungs. In fact, I was in Washington DC for work when I got the call from Tarah at 1.30amEST saying that she was heading to the ER with Shylah.
This wasn’t a cold.
The next call from Tarah at 6amEST had me heading to the airport to catch an emergency flight home. I was somewhere in the air between Minneapolis and Sacramento when I got the news via text message that would change our lives. After testing for asthma and heart disease, an x-ray revealed that Shylah had a mass.
This was cancer.
The doctors said that this appeared to be a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma but would need to admit her to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to try and stabilize her and do further tests and scans. Her condition was so serious that the doctors asked that we keep her from crying, for fear that any kind of sustained anxiety could collapse her airway and make things significantly worse; a life threatening kind of worse.
We would spend the next 25 days at UC Davis’ Children’s Hospital trying to stabilize her by reducing the size of the tumor through steroids and chemotherapy. Once she was stable, a biopsy could be performed that would provide a definitive diagnosis on exactly what kind of lymphoma Shylah faced. In the meantime, she would continue her chemotherapy.
Our time in the hospital with Shylah would test our resolve and faith in ways that we just weren’t prepared for as parents. Yet God has met us in these difficult circumstances and provided His grace and mercy. We’ve been immensely blessed by so many who continue to pray for Shylah and our family on a daily basis. We believe God hears our prayers and we continue to pray and petition that He heal Shylah. Your continued prayers are more than we could ask for and are greatly appreciated.
It has almost been a month since Shylah was discharged from the hospital and unfortunately the biopsy has returned “inconclusive” results. While this is extremely disappointing, the clinical diagnosis is that this is an immature t-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma and will require 24-30 months of chemotherapy. This is going to be a long journey for our young family, but God willing we will see Shylah through to a full recovery, living a long and healthy life.
Thank you for all of your prayers, love and support as we walk through this.

It’s the little things you do in life that makes a big difference. Clutter has been linked to disorganization and having effects on the human psyche. Studies reveal that clutter can be a symptom of a chaotic life, however, there is an easy fix. A dramatic change doesn’t have to occur overnight: You can gradually build towards organization. Or even if you aren’t necessarily disorderly, you may value more surrounding equity and can start nipping a few out of place things in the bud, before your things start scattering and literally begin piling up on top of another.
Instead of going out to get a huge heavy drawer, begin small and light to assess the situation, and if that’s not enough, then perhaps you can move on from there to the bigger things. If you live somewhere small, such as a studio or don’t have much space in general, then don’t just dive in with full strength speed with a bulky purchase; start with a rack room organizer. You can begin with easy assembly wire shelves and assemble it within minutes. It is a 3 shelf adjustable holder – a great drawer alternative. This durable wire is held by 4 strong floor protector poles and can hold up to 750lbs. Use it in the kitchen to hold snacks, water bottles and pantry accessories; in the bedroom to hold your shoes, boxes, books, towels; or for the outdoors to hold plants or garage items. Those are just some of the instances of the insurmountable usage to utilize these shelf bins in your home or office. In addition, it comes with wheels, so it’s not stationary: Make the item portable by using it as a cart to roll off and relocate in any part of your space, allowing you to skip out on strenuous activity. | <urn:uuid:26a5d4ad-1077-4ead-a689-13a29e02eb5f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.findthishere.com/clear-clutter-organize-how-you-live-with-diy-shelf/ | 2020-08-12T04:55:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738864.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812024530-20200812054530-00175.warc.gz | en | 0.939546 | 368 |
Frequently Asked Questions. A Quality Guide.
Isn't modern two pack paint better than cellulose? Why then do you use cellulose still?
There are a number of answers to this. Firstly it depends on what is meant by "better". In terms of flexibility and moisture resistance, it is better. However, if shine characteristics are considered, then for classic cars it is far too shiny and does not look right. Look at a quality finish in cellulose and it looks far better on a period car, as it is original. Why be fastidious in originality in all respects other than the paint? That is not logical!
Moisture resistance issues can be negated by using two pack primer as a base, with cellulose top coats.
Cellulose is far more forgiving than two pack. It is easy to repair blemishes and damage, by touching in and blowing in, followed by flatting and polishing. While people will tell you that you can do this with two pack too, and it is done, in practice you can always tell, it does not look good, and is bad practice. It is almost impossible to blow in a two pack finish. It is also really a "from the gun" finish, and no other reworking should be undertaken. As a comparison, try flatting and polishing your shiny black plastic television surround. It won't look the same! It is therefore much harder to obtain a blemish free finish. Cutting out dust and dirt and re polishing will degrade the original shine, which is too shiny anyway for a classic.
Cellulose doesn't need any special booth provision as all blemishes can be reworked until they disappear completely, and the finish restorable and is easy to blow in and polish.
One of the great things about classic and vintage cars is their longevity and repairability and maintainability. Cellulose finish is right up there in the maintainability stakes. It is number one for its ability to be repaired and reworked. You can fill scratches and stone chips so that they are invisible, and blow in damage repaired sections so that you would never know that there was a repair. You can do none of this with two pack. Orange peel finish is the preserve of two pack. With cellulose if a sprayer is unlucky enough to end up with any, he can flat it out. Not with two pack for the reasons already given.
What about awkward box sections, brackets etc. and compound curved panels which need renewing?
Bought pattern parts are very often very expensive and do not fit without considerable work. We have the facility to produce repair panels on site, by hand, tailor made to any pattern supplied, with compound curves and flanges where required, and to produce refabricated sections of all kinds. See the section on refabrication, and the various detail photographs on the projects concerned.
How do you repair rust holes and replace sections with new metal?
The only way to repair rust holes and sections so thin and pitted that their longevity is seriously compromised, is by letting in new steel to an area covering the whole section, going back into good metal all round.
The only way to do this is to cut out all the old section entirely and let in new metal cut to exactly the shape of the hole. Butt welding is the order of the day. Overlapping joints are not allowed and neither is covering up old rusty metal.
The end result is a section which should be indistinguishable from the original section, when the welds are ground off suitably. Obviously in body work finishing this goes without saying, but it also applies to undersides, chassis work and inner wings etc. too, as there is nothing worse than ugly patches slapped on, to cover holes, which will rust out again in no time at all due to moisture retention.
Bodywork refinishing with butt seamed welds will result in minimal use of filler skimming over the top. I have seen a quarter of an inch of filler used over lapped tack welded repair joints in body work, which then starts to bubble off due to moisture causing rusting in between the tack welds from the rear! Awful.
Filler skimming and use of filler primers will be mandatory in producing a high quality spray. It is just not possible to obtain the required surface flatness without it!
Use of body filler?
Like everything, body filler has its place. We have come a long way since the first monocoques fell apart with rust in the 1960's, and were patched up with gallons of Plastic Padding and loads of newspaper or aluminium mesh!
This is probably why it has a bad name, but actually, filler and filler primers are an essential ingredient to a truly superb finish.
It is just not possible to level off a panel surface to a high degree without it. When using it, the only way even then, to properly level a surface, is to sand, fill, sand, fill, sand, fill, several times, using a long bed sander blind and then using guide coats to check for levelness. Using dark colours, this process is essential for that mirror flat finish you so desire.
What preparation is needed for respraying?
People come to me looking for a "blow over", expecting it for a couple of hundred pounds. I just look at them and politely steer the conversation around to questions of what they expect out of a spray job.
The most important part of any spray job is the preparation. This accounts for 95% of the time involved, and applying the colour coat is only the last couple of hours of the work!
The devil is in the detail, and to me, "blow overs" are a waste of time and money, and I won't do them. One reason for this is that I don't want anything to do with a spray job which will start peeling at the edges after twelve months, as it is my reputation at stake, as a sprayer, and I don't want to be associated with cars that start having rust encroachment into a new spray job from areas which you couldn't prepare properly to start with as it was not in the remit.
It is important that customers are made aware of the issues which resprays bring up. What does a customer require from a respray? If it is because the paint is just a bit tired, then T cut will do the job! If it is because there is rust needing treatment, then this has to be done one way, properly. If a complete respray is ordered, then this will sort out all the nooks and crannies which may be already rusting so far unseen, and prevent these from encroaching, and it will entail proper rust treatment where needed, and not just a rub down!
Resprays therefore entail removing all glass and fittings, taking doors off, to do the pillars properly, all holes in the shell will have to be exposed for new paint, and all old paint flatted back to good layers as a minimum, by hand, or to bare metal, and to expose and clean out all potential rust traps etc.
Preparation then entails phosphate treatment of steel with any surface rusting evident, which there often is, unseen under paint, and then the application of several thick layers of two pack filler primer, after any serious undulations in panels have been stopper skimmed if that has been necessary.
Preparation then goes on to sanding down of the two pack primer and application of cellulose filler primer, again in several layers, and in a contrasting colour. Rubbing down this should not go through into the two pack layers, and if it does, then further coats are applied until subsequent rubbing down does not penetrate through before the panel is level. Only after this operation is undertaken and guide coats applied to ensure all blemishes are removed, can we contemplate applying colour coats.
Don't you get that sort of quality from any body and spray shop?
No you don't. I have yet to find a body shop that prepares a car this thoroughly. This is a very specialised sector and this sort of detail is simply not available from any highly commercialised body shop. Simply, it is time, money and overheads, and they need volume throughput. They have all the dust free booths etc. and the cars look very nice when they roll out, but they are still treated like any other (modern) car.
That simply won't do when you are preserving thirty, forty or seventy year old metal, which has inevitably become rather frayed and rusty in all sorts of places.
Look at the Sunbeam Lotus page three for an insight into the detail prepping required. The link to the MG pages shows more, and there will be more to follow in the future. | <urn:uuid:dc7ed654-b2f9-455a-a461-59070169bf38> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://met-alchemy.com/faq_a-quality-guide | 2022-11-26T23:50:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446709929.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20221126212945-20221127002945-00525.warc.gz | en | 0.96183 | 1,818 |
At a joint meeting recently, the board of directors of the Minnesota Pork Board and the Minnesota Pork Producers Association agreed to consider drafting a resolution for the eradication of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus from the state, according to David Preisler, executive director of the two groups.
The resolution will be considered for passage at the December annual business meeting of the two pork groups, Preisler says. If it passes, it would be forwarded for consideration at National Pork Forum, March 4-6, 2010 in Kansas City, MO.
“Our producers realize in our board discussions that from a long-term competitiveness standpoint, they would certainly like to see what could be done to eradicate the disease,” he adds.
The board realizes the need for funding to support research, communications and technology to carry out such an effort, Preisler says.
As well, the board “also knows very clearly that this is not going to be accomplished overnight and that in order for it to be successful this really needs to be national in scope, not just in Minnesota,” he explains.
At this time, the board is not looking at a regulatory scheme or a government program for PRRS eradication, Preisler stresses.
The board also expressed continued support for the work of Scott Dee, DVM, long-time PRRS researcher at the University of Minnesota.
Dee, who formed the Minnesota PRRS Eradication Task Force in 2005, says progress is being made in control efforts. A pilot regional control project in Stevens County in west central Minnesota has gained traction with only one PRRS-positive herd remaining in the low-pig-dense area. Efforts are being made to expand the concept to 5-6 surrounding counties.
Dee is also involved with veterinary clinics at Fairmont, Pipestone and St. Peter to test the ability of air filtration to stop the spread of the PRRS virus in large sow farms in swine-dense regions. While the study has been underway for only one year, the results are promising.
Dee expects to make a full presentation on the research at the Minnesota Pork Congress in January in Minneapolis. | <urn:uuid:db18ed76-97a4-4505-86eb-6eff97ff5a54> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://nationalhogfarmer.com/print/health-diseases/disease-eradication/1008-minnesota-pork-eradication | 2015-04-01T23:14:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131309963.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172149-00201-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959947 | 454 |
