Full breasts
Around the third or fourth day after your baby is born, your breasts start to produce lots of milk. This is known as the milk ‘coming in’.
During this time, your breasts may produce much more milk than your baby needs and they may feel full and uncomfortable. This will only last for a few days. Most women feel their breasts softening from around ten days to two weeks.
When your milk first comes in
- Your nipple and the dark area around it (the areola) may become full and firm and it may be difficult for your baby to attach properly to your breasts.
- Your baby may not take all your milk from your breasts during feeds. After feeds, your breasts may still feel quite full and uncomfortable.
- Some babies can be unsettled during this time and want to feed very frequently.
- Your baby might have lots of loose, greenish bowel motions.
All of this is normal.
Relieving the discomfort of full breasts
Feed your baby while your breasts are full
- Good positioning and attachment is important – ask your midwife for help with this if you need it.
- Hand express some milk before you attach your baby to your breasts. This will soften the areola and make it easier for your baby to attach. Ask your midwife to teach you how to hand express.
- Offer one breast per feed. Don’t swap sides unless the first breast feels very soft after the baby finishes feeding from it.
- If your baby wants a top-up feed within an hour, feed again from the same breast.
- If the baby is still hungry after the first breast is ‘finished’, then you can offer the second breast.
- If your baby only feeds from one breast at a feed and the other breast is uncomfortably full, express a small amount of milk for comfort.
- Change sides each time you begin a new feed.
Between feeds
- If your breasts are very uncomfortable between feeds, you may need to express a small amount of milk to relieve the fullness.
- You can also stimulate some milk to flow by:
- placing a warm pack on the breast for a few minutes
- having a warm shower or bath.
- Let some milk drip from one side into a towel or container while feeding from the other breast.
- Wear a supportive bra but make sure it doesn’t dig in. Some women feel more comfortable without a bra at this time.
- Cold packs after feeds for a few minutes may help to relieve swelling and discomfort. A covered cold pack or a packet of frozen vegetables can be used for this.
- Paracetamol may be taken for pain relief if required. Follow instructions on the packet.
Once your milk supply has settled down
Offer both breasts at each feed again, but continue to let the baby finish the first side before offering the second.
Things to remember
First feed
- Feed from one breast.
- Top-up from the same breast if needed.
- Let the other breast drip during the feed or express a small amount for comfort.
Next feed
- Feed from the other breast.
- Top-up from the same breast.
- Let the other breast drip during the feed or express a small amount for comfort.
Go back to offering both breasts at each feed when the fullness settles down.

It sounds simple. You want to grow for an extended season, or perhaps year-round. Cultivating small fruit under cover may be intriguing, or perhaps hydroponics sounds appealing, and a controlled environment is a must. A protective growing structure – a cold frame, high tunnel, or greenhouse – is needed. Choosing the correct structure, however, can be complex.
The frame type, height, width, door openings, coverings, ventilation, heating and other options must be carefully chosen, according to desired use. You also need to consider initial cost, cost of operation and future plans for expansion. Some structures excel at being not only year-round growing houses, but also retail showrooms. Others are bare-bones options, such as a cold frame, designed as an entryway into extended-season growing at a minimal cost.
Donabedian Bros., Salem, N.H. Finding the correct system for your specific circumstances starts with understanding the needs of your intended crops.
Planning for growth
“Keep things simple but efficient in the planning process,” Bob Rimol, the founder and owner of Rimol Greenhouse Systems (RGS,), advised. “You can always do add-ons later to become more automated and self-sufficient.”
Perhaps the most important logistical question to ask is: “Where is the best site location for my greenhouse?” Improperly sited greenhouses lead to drainage issues, collapse from snow or wind, a detrimental growing environment with poor sunlight or airflow, and ultimately to failed crops.
Freestanding greenhouses shouldn’t be located too close to other structures. Snow accumulation, drainage and wind received by the greenhouse are impacted by nearby structures or trees. Shade is also a concern, and the shadow of large, nearby trees or buildings can block sunlight. Situating the greenhouse to optimize sun exposure, particularly the important morning sun, is recommended. The seasonal changes in sun angle must also be factored in, as winter and summer sun will differ. You should also consider what crops will be grown and whether the greenhouse will see year-round or seasonal use. Simply orienting the greenhouse for best sun exposure, on an open site with good drainage, can go a long way toward providing the best environment for a healthy crop.
Terraced ground is prone to drainage issues and should be avoided, while rocky ground is usually workable with some extra effort. Stormwater runoff issues should be addressed as well, and any setbacks from wetlands or water bodies taken into consideration. Local ordinances regarding greenhouse structures should be reviewed to see if any site plans or permit approvals are needed. And if you are planning more than one greenhouse, it is prudent to allow at least 12 feet between them, both for snow removal and taking off the covering.
Determining the size of the needed growing area is a critical step. Too much space means added costs for any supplemental heating, as well as a large investment for a small return. While getting caught short on space can be remedied in the long run, it will cause immediate frustration.
“The main issue is planning your growing with a layout of the crops, and adding 20 percent extra space as a contingency,” Rimol said.
Greenhouse types
Do you need a basic system, with an arched frame, roll-up sides and removable coverings, or are your needs more complex? Basic extended-season growing space – whether planting crops in the ground, or in trays on benches – can be had with a cold frame.
RGS’ cold frame model, the Catamount, is 15 feet wide and comes in lengths of 48, 72 or 96 feet. The model is given extra strength via a cross-connected purlin, allowing it to withstand some snow accumulation. The bows can be placed 4 or 5 feet apart, depending on growing needs. Due to its size, the Catamount works well for standard 15-foot ground coverings, as well as standard 24-foot widths of polyethylene covering. Options include roll-up sides (automatic or manual), a heating system, extended ground posts for added height, and manual or automated ventilation.
American Horticultural Supply offers Quonset and grid-style cold frames. Standard and oversized Juwel cold frames are available from A.M. Leonard. GGS Structures’ cold frames are constructed with high-quality steel arches for protection from rust and corrosion. International Greenhouse Co. and Atlas Mfg. also offer a variety of cold frames.
If more sophisticated options are needed, a variety of greenhouse frames are available from RGS in 18 to 34-foot widths. The basic Eastpoint model is a suitable option for growers looking to overwinter vegetable crops. Gas heating options, mechanical ventilation and automated side roll-up options add convenience, while the optional polycarbonate end walls add durability. It features a stronger Gothic-style frame, designed for added wind and snow loads.
“The Eastpoint is much stronger, so there is no worry about snow load,” Rimol said. “Eastpoint is much more open and airy, so you do not get the heat buildup like you would with a cold frame. There are more options available with an Eastpoint.”
Agra Tech’s commercial greenhouses are designed to optimize natural ventilation. Freestanding and gutter-connect models are available from Atlas Mfg. Nexus Greenhouse Systems offers Quonset, Gothic, peak, curved, straight and open roof designs with a variety of coverings. Ludy Greenhouse Mfg. Corp. and Stuppy also offer a wide variety of greenhouse models. Advancing Alternatives supplies roll-up curtain systems, including freestanding, gutter-connect and curtain wall types, as well as controllers and other equipment.
Moving up
While there is no formal, standard definition of a high tunnel, many define a high tunnel as a nonpermanent structure with no permanent heating system, designed for basic extended season use. RGS considers a high tunnel to be any greenhouse structure that has elevated sidewall heights to allow equipment to pass through. At RGS, high tunnel structures come in all shapes and sizes, from simple structures providing a few weeks of extra growing time, to full-year growing houses, complete with complex heating and ventilation. The height of most RGS greenhouse models can be adjusted upward, making the greenhouses into a “high tunnel system,” by using extended-length ground posts.
More complex greenhouse styles come in a variety of widths, and even with varying sidewall heights. Do you need standing access throughout the width, or are low-sloping sides workable? Do you require something more permanent than polyethylene coverings, which need to be replaced after several years? Some models have ridge vent options, a choice of gas or oil heating options, additional mechanical ventilation options and more.
Door options (single or double, sliding, hinged, or roll-up) allow for ease of access and can also make the structure more attractive for retail space. Doors can be constructed from several materials, and insulated doors may be warranted, depending on use.
Rimol advises growers not to overreach, but to be realistic about how they are going to use their structure, the time they will devote to managing the greenhouse environment, and the needs of the crops they are growing in the greenhouse. While growers should be realistic regarding their goals, cutting corners will add to the time it takes to manage the greenhouse, Rimol cautions.
Monkshood Nursery, Stuyvesant, N.Y. Freestanding greenhouses shouldn’t be located too close to other structures.
“A few conveniences like motorized roll-up sides or motorized gable shutters will allow you to not ‘babysit’ the greenhouse and protect you against fluctuations for heating or cooling,” Rimol said. “Although polycarbonate ends are more expensive, they are a better investment for the long term. You have triple-wall polycarbonate, which is a much better insulator than single-layer poly. The other advantage is that the polycarbonate on the end walls will last about 20 years, so there is no maintenance, versus changing the poly every four or five years.”
Ventilation is another serious matter to be considered. It helps to control humidity levels, which are critical in greenhouse crop production, as well as the carbon dioxide exchange rate. CO2 is a crucial component of plant photosynthesis and growth, and proper airflow reduces disease pressure. The necessary airflow exchange rate is calculated based on the structure’s area in cubic feet. The rate can be achieved passively without fans, by rolling up sides and opening any ridge or wall vents, either manually or with an automated system. Mechanical ventilation options include automatic fans and motorized shutters and can be operated by state-of-the-art computerized environmental control systems.
While glass has been the traditional greenhouse covering, and fiberglass has faded out of style, most structures today are covered with either polyethylene, in single or multiple layers, or polycarbonate, which can also be in single or multiple-layer construction. Light penetration, heat retention and the expected life of the covering are some factors to consider, along with the initial and replacement costs. Inflation blowers can be used between polyethylene covering layers to enhance insulating ability.
Donabedian Bros., Salem, N.H. Be realistic about how you are going to use your structure, the time you will devote to managing the greenhouse environment, and the needs of the crops you are growing in the greenhouse.
Not every grower needs the most exclusive options, but depending on your business plan, a greater initial investment might make sense. Beginning with a higher-end frame, in a smaller size with fewer options chosen, and adding size and options as the business expands might ultimately be a better economic decision, compared to beginning with a basic structure when a more controllable environment is warranted. Someone looking to grow an array of hydroponic greens year-round, for example, might want to consider a more advanced system from the start.
Monkshood Nursery, Stuyvesant, N.Y. Structural options, site selection, initial cost and plans for future expansion are all things that should be considered when choosing a greenhouse.
Specialized equipment
RGS offers four levels of hydroponic greenhouse packages. Hydroponic systems begin on the Northpoint or Nor’Easter greenhouse frame. The Nor’Easter model is meant to withstand adverse weather conditions, with a truss support system designed to double the strength of the bows.
The hydroponic packages feature 8-millimeter triple-wall polycarbonate, a double layer of 6-millimeter polyethylene film, locking insulated doors, exhaust fans and full ventilation system, plus heating options. More deluxe options include added fans, energy-saving film, environmental controller, insect screening, and longer or wider greenhouse frames.
CropKing offers hydroponic greenhouse systems for lettuce, herbs, tomatoes and microgreens.
Marett Farms, Londonderry, N.H. The Gothicstyle frame is designed for added wind and snow loads.
Another specialty greenhouse is the movable, rolling system. RGS’ Rolling Thunder model has tracks two times its length and a wheel system. The rolling system allows a grower to maximize use of the greenhouse by starting one crop, then relocating the house over new ground for a second greenhouse crop, to provide protection to tender crops at the end of the season, or to allow crop rotation, cover cropping and other techniques to be implemented without sacrificing the ongoing use of the greenhouse.
Four Season Tools and FarmTek also offer movable structures.
Do your homework
“Rimol Greenhouse Systems works closely with growers of all abilities. Many of the purchasers are novices with little or no growing experience,” Rimol said. “RGS educates as much as possible about choosing the right structure with the correct options.”
Growers seeking to extend their season or embark on year-round growing operations need to do their research prior to making any greenhouse decisions. Finding the correct system for your specific circumstances starts with understanding the needs of your intended crops. Extending the season for tomato growing will require different specifications than growing cold-season vegetables under cover. According to Rimol, the deciding factors in choosing a system are “what you are growing, when you are growing, and how you are growing.”

Brainstorming New Models for Music Careers « Secret Archives of the Vatican // Jun 9, 2009 at 11:42 am
[…] Brainstorming New Models for Music Careers Brainstorming New Models for Music Careers […]
When I was a kid, the merchandise that I loved most was posters. Often great artwork, a talking point and, crucially for you, an implicit advert.
With the rise in Print On Demand, it wouldn’t be too hard to create personalised posters / artwork.
Given the industry I’m in, I still see a lot of potential in phone wallpapers & ringtones. Whether you give them away or try to charge is up to you. But I’d suggest that selling a CD with some extra embedded content (pictures, ringtones, etc) is a pretty good idea & fairly cheap.
One merchandising idea that I like is USB pens (of the writing variety) that could also hold a few tracks and would of course have the band URL printed on it. I could see myself buying one of these at a gig.
They could also contain the extra content mentioned above by Terence.
There was a band that did a song called Powercut or powersurge, something like that, they had USB drives with the track on that looked like Duracell AA battery branded with the bands details on. Thought that was cool.
The bonus of this is that people can drag the tracks off the drive and still use it as a normal usb stick.
A lot of musicians could generate a lot more income from merch by hooking up with visual artists/designers and producing ranges of products that visually define them as an artist.
There are people who will buy any old crap t-shirt by a band/artist just because they like them, but there’s an awful lot more people out there who will buy something because it looks really cool, even if they’re not THAT into the band. Make something look really good and people at a gig with money in their pocket are a lot more likely to be tempted to make a purchase.
We’re really happy to help any independent or unsigned solo artist or band in any way we can.
We have the radio site with ‘live’ music playing only independent and unsigned artists and the magazine which we’ve just started which will has interviews with independent and unsigned musicians, artists, photographers and film makers will be in the next issue onwards.
There are plans for ‘specials’ featuring different individual bands which we will be making available to them for free so they can give them out at gigs or sell them to make a few pennies.
There is also the tv channel which currently only music videos but we will be adding animations and short films very soon, just as soon as I get the time to upload them.
The idea is to bring all the different creative arts together in one place so they can make contact with each other and hopefully some interesting collaborations will happen in the future.
If anyone has any ideas of what else we can add to the mix, then we’d love to hear them.
Have a great day
Kevin
I got it – “Digital non-music merchandise from musicians” – no hear me out, it sounds crazy but.. well not much. My suggestion is to provide services such as membership sites providing a kind of virtual backstage access pass in return for a monthly subscription. There’s a kind of overlap between the mainstream fans and aspiring musicians which occupies an in between niche which mixes information products with music education and networking.
Well known musicians only need to put their name to it and show up on private channels from time to time, whereas starting out musicians will need to provide real value through knowledge sharing and remote instruction.
This is going to be too much for one individual ‘unsigned’ musician though, we’ll need to get together into teams to tackle the task seriously.
One key to providing the fans what they really want (and I’m not talking about the music) is to talk to them, and ask them what they want. This is obvious for most other businesses but often not in music biz, where the discussions often are generalized.
There are large variations and one needs to be creative. Why not be creative together with the fans.
“So you’re not interested in CD:s, but you do miss going through the booklet?, reading the lyrics. Ok then, so let’s offer some booklets then…”, just to take an easy example.

“If you’re not into playing live at all, the current ‘wisdom’ that recorded music is now an ‘advert’ for your live gigs sounds pretty hollow.”
That gets my vote for Understatement Of The Decade.
And… I can remember when touring bands here in Oz typically lost money because of the prohibitive costs of touring, but made up for it in record sales, so count me confused.
Steve
Great point – I do think that having a strong visual image is important. I’m amazed how many musicians spend months on making a record, then get their mum to take some pics with her phone for the promo, and do the album art in MS Paint… Working closer with designers would be a great idea…
I don’t think the problem is limited to the musicians themselves unfortunately.
There appear to be many people out there working with them who don’t know what they are doing and could possibly be doing more harm than good in the long run.
A recent article I wrote covers some of this –
I’ve been amazed this week in that I’ve read a blog entry from a record company about how they can get on and finish the work on the next album now they have new speakers, £27 computer speakers that needed some adjustment to the sound cards eq to get them to sound right!
I’m no audio or recording expert, but that doesn’t give me the impression that they are very professional or know what they are doing.
I’ve also read some blog entries about how cool the new iPhone is as artists will be able to shot and edit their promo videos on it!
As you say Steve some musicians spend months and sometimes large amounts of money to make records and are then seem to be ‘happy’ with crap promo photography, bad videos and awful artwork.
Who is to blame?
The musicians for accepting sub standard work or the people they work with supplying it?
I know a lot might come down to budget at the end of the day (just an excuse?), but if they have the right information about what is required, they can ask the right questions and make a better selection of who they choose to work with.
Yeah the band’s called Hold Fire and the song’s “Power Cut”. We did a gig with them recently. See a pic and order it from

News
Opinion: Is the Nintendo Wii U worth getting yet?
by Robert Workman, shacknews.com, May 22, 2014 9:00AM PDT
It's been just over a year and a half since Nintendo hit the game market with the Wii U. Fresh from the phenomenal success of the Wii, it seemed like a new console would take off like its predecessor. There was a lot of promise going into this console a few months prior at E3, with the announcement of an HD Mario game, New Super Mario Bros. U, as well as many prospective titles from third-party companies.
However, since that time, the system has sat in the doldrums, in the shadow of more popular systems like Xbox One and PlayStation 4, even though it launched months earlier. Despite its innovations, the system hasn't seen the support that Nintendo was hoping, with third parties leaving left and right and some projects, like Watch Dogs and Aliens: Colonial Marines, either being vastly delayed or cancelled altogether.
But is all hope lost? The system is picking up steam with the release of a few key titles, including the universally entertaining Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World and next week's forthcoming Mario Kart 8. Plus, more great titles are inbound from the big "N", including Super Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2 and whatever else will be announced at E3 this June.
So it begs the question: Is the system worth picking up yet? Let's look at both sides of the picture.
Yes, it is
When.
No, it isn't
The.
Maybe?
Despite the struggling sales and the lack of third-party strength, the Wii U is still going moderately. Even though there are excellent reasons for and against its getting one, there's still plenty of room for the Wii U to rise up and be noticed. After all, the 3DS was struggling for some time before the company made key choices and brought it back up to speed. Then again, it wasn't as oddly designed as this machine is.
It's just a matter of seeing what it can do over the next few weeks. All eyes on Reggie…

"Those familiar with McCarthy's unique spare writing style will find Tom Stechschulte's performance of THE ROAD a good fit. Stechschulte's voice maintains a somber, growling quality that suits the mournful story of a father and son, two survivors journeying across a scorched America. McCarthy's riveting descriptions of setting and characters are delivered at a measured pace and with a rich depth that is appealing from opening line to closing scene. Although the story's subject matter is truly bleak, Stechschulte's capable performance is offered in an accessible tone that complements McCarthy's skilled prose. In a way, McCarthy and Stechschulte share a common gift. Both are masters at conveying significant meaning with little fanfare and peerless results. L.B.F.

U.S. Gov't Lets Goldman Sachs Get Away With $5 Billion Sham Settlement; Another Bankster Walks Away Unscathed By Giving Feds, State Authorities Shakedown Money, Cutting Them In On Illicit Profits Fleeced From Public
- This week's settlement between the financial giant and the government is the latest in a string of billion-dollar settlements addressing Wall Street misconduct in the lead-up to the financial crisis of 2008. (The others were with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, and Morgan Stanley, and the values ranged from approximately $3 billion to $16 billion.)
Like the other settlements, no individuals will be held accountable. As Public Citizen President Rob Weissman argues in response to the settlements, "Without criminal prosecution, there’s not even the illusion of accountability." Read his statement here.
See also, No consequences, no justice in Goldman Sachs settlement (The Justice Department’s failure to punish wrongdoing at major financial institutions stands in stark contrast to its vigorous prosecution of more than 2,700 individuals at the local level – mortgage brokers, borrowers, appraisers – who were small cogs in the corrupt mortgage machine).

This was actually my first ayumikurikamaki song, and I was just as pleased as could be to learn that the song called “SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE” was actually called “SALMON SALMON SALMON,” which as we all know is a pretty important thing for a bear.

I love them. Leave me alone.

Now to How!
NOW to HOW! Efficiency to Effectiveness
The DNA of Business Success, Part 3
(Parts 1 and 2 of this series are included in the links at the end of this post)
© Irene Becker, Just Coach It-The 3Q Edge™ | (IQ-EQ-SQ) Reach-Resonance-Results 3Q Leadership™ Blog- 42,000+ Social Media Followers & Growing! [google-translator]
“There’s a new world struggling to be born. It’s a world of greater creativity, higher purpose, and deeper fulfillment.” Marty Neumeier, Metaskills
Struggle is necessary to make us aware of what no longer works, but it is the determination, the conviction to build, evolve, grow and create that transforms struggle into empowerment, disengagement into motivation, challenges into solutions, failures into a new way to learn and lead forward while improving cognitive, emotional and social adaptability.):
Will you champion a better way forward or remain transfixed by the ambiguity, changes, challenges, chaos and opportunities that punctuate our lives, work and world? Will you be fearful or fearless? I believe the imperative to be fearless in the face of change is not simply the mark of leadership, but critical to those who recognize that the only way we can move past struggle is by using it as a guide post that takes us forward; a guidepost that speaks to the unbridled power of human ingenuity, humanity, courage and leadership at the speed of change. .” Edward B. Burger, Michael Starbird, The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking, Princeton University Press, 2012.
How can you get past your own bias, your own filters, so that you can see the problem or challenge anew? Start by recognizing that any habit of thinking, communicating and doing that leaves you entrenched and boxed in will not take you forward. The power to move from now to HOW will not be found in bastions of great thought, because until we unpack the knowledge we have and make it real it remains shrouded and un-lived. The power to move from now to HOW will not be found in struggling against change, because the way forward starts with seeing the changes, challenges, stressors and failures with new eyes that take us forward faster and better.
Start by making Now To HOW your mantra and use it to break down habits of thinking and communicating that no longer work. Many of us are working with a mindset that cannot help us move from Now to HOW. The Age of Industrialization and the Age of Information became a fulcrum for process driven systems, increased bureaucracy and adherence to one size fits all models of thinking and doing. Quantitative results became our focus forward. Meanwhile,a new Consumer Age an age where the more informed consumer, the realities of hyper competition and the David and Goliath Syndrome (small agile start-ups threatening established brands) is here and it is NOW. Embrace your ability to develop pragmatic optimism while fueling an avid curiosity for transforming challenges into solutions. The imperative to nurture ideas before you kill them, the ability to train our minds to be solution focused is the quickest way to a better way forward.
There is a new world being born. You can struggle with it, or you can help to build it. The imperative to focus on effectiveness; to champion human ingenuity and collaboration is before us. Will you see the challenges you face with new eyes? In an era of massive change and challenges, we need to focus on human effectiveness as it relates to creativity, innovation, communication, collaboration and the purpose driven anchors that will help us negotiate ambiguity with vigor and confidence. Is it time to recognize and embrace your strengths while transforming changes, challenges, stressors and failures into your 3Q Edge™? Carpe diem!

Current research demonstrating that gender diversity helps business perform better signals that self interest and common interest can come together. UN Women, the UN Global Compact, other leading UN agencies, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum, reinforce the findings. Governments also recognize that women’s inclusion drives development, and acknowledge that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and national economic and development plans requires rapidly moving towards gender equality.
In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, utilizing all social and economic assets is crucial for success. Yet, despite progress, women continue to confront discrimination, marginalization and exclusion, even though equality between men and women stands as a universal international precept – a fundamental and inviolable human right.
For further information on the business case for Women’s Empowerment, please visit the Tools & Resources section.
Ensuring the inclusion of women’s talents, skills, experience and energies requires intentional actions and deliberate policies. The Women’s Empowerment Principles, a partnership initiative of UN Women and UN Global Compact (UNGC) provide a set of considerations to help the private sector focus on key elements integral to promoting gender equality in the workplace, marketplace and community.
Enhancing openness and inclusion throughout corporate policies and operations requires techniques, tools and practices that bring results. The Women’s Empowerment Principles, forged through an international multi-stakeholder consultative process, provide a “gender lens” through which business can analyze current initiatives, benchmarks and reporting practices. Informed by real-life business practices, the Principles help companies tailor existing policies and practices – or establish needed new ones – to realize women’s empowerment.
The Principles also reflect the interests of Government and civil society, and will support interactions among stakeholders as achieving gender equality requires the participation of all actors. As a leader in gender equality, UN Women brings three decades of experience to this partnership effort with the UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative with more than 12,000 participants (business and other stakeholders) in more than 160 countries.
Nearly all countries have affirmed this value through their recognition of the standards contained in international human rights treaties, which articulate for states a broad range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Distinctive documents highlight a spectrum of state responsibilities and human rights protections for women, indigenous peoples, children, workers and people with disabilities.
Additionally, internationally agreed-on documents such as the Beijing Platform for Action adopted by all 189 countries at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 and the Millennium Declaration adopted by 189 countries in 2000, contribute to the overarching human rights framework.
These international standards illuminate our common aspiration for a life where the doors of opportunity are open to all. Where people can live free from violence, exercise legal redress and expect states to live up to their obligations to respect and protect the human rights of women, men and children and provide appropriate government services such as education and health.
These Conventions inform national law and help shape common values adopted by institutions throughout the world.

So Linda tagged me for the honest scrap a while back. I didn't do a all in one on the other post for moments like this where I don't have crap to post :) Thank you for the award! Sorry it takes me three years to post it :P
You have to tell your readers ten things about you they may not know, but that are true. Then you have to tag ten people with the award. Finally, let all the people you've given the award know they've gotten it (comment their blogs or something). Don't forget to link back to the person who awarded you.
1. I'm the baby in the family so of course I'm spoiled :P I only have one other sibling though, her name is Fanny (like butt yeahh?) and she's 27 this year.
2. My boyfriend and I had our first conversation at this party I went to in my freshman year of highschool. I only went to the party because my two other friends went and I tagged along. He was showing some lame magic trick! LOL, he still uses the same trick today xD and the next time I saw him he was at the temple drunk and I really wanted the pringle he had! There was only one left!! He goes you want it? *plays keep away for a few seconds* and then he stuck it in his mouth and then he asks me if I still want it... and then I ate it o_O
3. I left over $300 and my iphone at chili's one day... OMG I didn't even know I left my money there! I thought I just forgot the phone and I called them and they go yeahh... and your money is here too! I was like thank goodness I give people back their things when they leave it at where I work xD see karma comes back to you!
4. I don't get along with girls my age. Most of them are so immature and I don't know. I just can't get along with them. Sometimes I can for a short while and then I'll just get annoyed lol. I hang out with mostly guys and older girls :P
5. I love strawberries! Anything strawberry I WILL love! I'm not a big fan of cherries but my boyfriend is so he always gets my cherry on top of my sundae :)
6. Smallville.. MY FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME! I'm watching it right now. I don't know why it's so addicting!?!? I have all of the seasons on boot leg because I can't afford it :P I still haven't seen the last episodes of the most recent season though.. :(
7. I don't wear skirts. I don't own any skirts (except for a pencil one that I didn't even buy). I don't really wear dresses too often without tights underneath. I'm very uncomfortable with my legs. They're so FAT! LOL, the upper body & lower body doesn't look like they belong together xD
8. I can't snap my fingers! I never could, and I don't think I ever will be able to! My hands are really dry so maybe that has something to do with it?? o_O
9. I'm scared as shit when it comes to bugs/anything found in the nature! lol, it grosses me out so bad. I once woke up with a cockroach on my arm and I looked at it finally because it felt weird and then I couldn't sleep in my room comfortably until that cockroach died! (it was one of those BIG ones!)
10. *beauty related* I love sticky lip glosses! I'm in love with dazzleglasses xD My boyfriend hates it though! He always says it makes his teeth hurt so I try not to wear any lipglosses when we're together. So when I'm at work I'm glossed up :P

. Susmit Kumar places this tremendous conflict of interests in a perspective that is both chilling and exciting. On one hand he portays a modern, ultra-dynamic Asia contrasted with a relegated, humbled West; on the other hand a new world of modernized societies united in a common effort for global progress.
US, China and Islam
Wall Street is a “casino” where the dice are “loaded in favor of the bankers and the ultra-rich.” Keeping afloat only by selling enormous amounts of dollars to China every day, the US government allows speculators to continue to “squeeze the juice out of the economy." If China plays its cards carefully, after the end of the global economic crisis, it could emerge as the strongest country in the world, Kumar reckons.
The coming U.S. economic collapse will serve to accelerate drastic political changes in Islam and create a new, multipolar order. In the process, Islam will embrace modernity and change its antiquated outlook in many ways, Kumar predicts. An overdue process that other religions underwent long ago, the modernization of the world’s biggest religion will make Islamic countries progress greatly both at home and on the world scene.
PROUT
In the concluding synthetical part, Kumar suggests Proutistic arguments for democratic reforms and economic revolution. He argues that capitalism in its present form is not viable and that while “democracy is the best of all '-cracies,' it has deficiencies … Democracy, like capitalism needs major reforms.”
The book essentially argues that growing economic democracy and a rational modernization of existential and social outlooks will provide the necessary sustainable environment that will allow us all to continue to prosper and progress together.
This book is not only an important contribution to the growing critique against capitalism and corrupt political and social systems. The author has obviously taken great pains to process an enormous mass of historical and current data, turning it into easily readable, convincing arguments in favor of a more liveable world society than the one we have at present. / T.Ø. | http://proutglobe.org/2012/04/modernization-in-our-time/ | 2019-05-19T13:28:13 | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | 1558232254882.18 | [] | 38 |

California Chrome fans let down by loss in Belmont Stakes
Updated 10:22 pm, Saturday, June 7, 2014
Caption
They came to Golden Gate Fields on Saturday afternoon, thousands of Chromies, to watch a race on TV monitors, to bond, to root home their home-away-from-home homeboy, their California wonder horse.
The world had fallen in love with California Chrome, and at the funky little track by the bay, everyone had a stake in the dream, from the railbirds and stoopers to the back-stretch gang.
They came to watch Chrome win the Belmont Stakes, and with it racing's Triple Crown. It was to be a dream day for fans of overachieving underdogs. The dream was not to come true.
Chrome is owned, in part, by Northern California folks. The horse is trained by Art Sherman, who spent 40 years riding and training at this track. Chrome is ridden by Victor Espinoza, who launched his career here in 1993 and Saturday had a chance to become the first Latino jockey to ride a Triple Crown winner.
The fans who packed the little track knew they were dreaming, they knew their horse had no business shooting for the moon. If there's a sure thing in racing, it's that all the great horses are bred and born in the megabucks farms of Kentucky and Florida.
"It's gotta be making those guys in Kentucky cringe to see this horse kick their ass," said trainer Steve Specht, leaning on the trackside rail early Saturday.
Sharing the moment
Last year on Belmont Saturday, Golden Gate Fields drew 3,700 fans. Saturday there were almost 7,000 ready to rock. They came to share the moment when Chrome would shock the world by kicking some bluegrass ass.
"I know he's going to do it, I know it in my heart," said Fatima Sullivan, a Muni bus driver. Like many of the women in the crowd, Sullivan was dressed in her Triple Crown finery, including a "Chrome" tribute bracelet she made the night before.
William Lynn Morgan, in a Raiders cap, dragged hard on a cigarette and said, "I'm fired up! He's going to win! He's ready, he's fit. As long as he get out of that gate good, game over."
Chrome broke OK, but couldn't muster a charge and finished tied for fourth, a crushing disappointment that sucked the energy out of the air. The dream died hard at Golden Gate Fields, a house of faith.
Early in the morning, a wave of relentless optimism swept the backstretch as the sun poked through the cloud cover.
Elsewhere, many experts were explaining why Chrome had little chance to become the first Triple Crown winner in 36 years. But here at the backstretch stables, disbelief and hard logic were suspended. Everyone was buying into the dream that was real-life "Rocky" meets "Hoosiers," with "Rudy" in the saddle.
"Everybody's all pumped up," said trainer Bill Delia, a former jockey who rode next to Art Sherman for a few years and later rode for Sherman when he became a trainer. "We want the horse to win, big-time."
"I'm just happy for" the Shermans and Espinoza, said trainer O.J. Jauregui, who lived in the backstretch dorms with Espinoza in '93. "They're good people, it's a good horse. They're from here. It's big, we're all going nuts."
Art Sherman moved south in 2008, but his son Steve trains horses here. When Chrome emerged as a star late last year, the Shermans' old friends and colleagues took notice.
Extra gears
"I didn't pay much attention to (Chrome) until the San Felipe (the race prior to the Kentucky Derby)," Delia said. "He would sit and wait and wait, then the horse took off like a rocket. You know in your heart that when you ask him (for more speed), he's got some gears. ... He's got the kick."
Oh, Chrome's got gears. He's got an overdrive, then a hyperdrive, then ... who knows?
"This horse looks like he has four or five gears," Jauregui said. "He can do whatever he wants."
Some experts knew Chrome would be in deep doo-doo against a field of fresher horses. The Triple Crown schedule was shaped in a bygone era when horses were bred and trained to race more often. For today's horses, three races in five weeks is a killer grind, and only two other horses in the Belmont field had run in the two previous Triple Crown races.
But at Golden Gate Fields the morning of the race, that bucket of oats was half full.
"I don't think any horse is fresher than California Chrome," said trainer Specht. "This horse still had plenty of run in him (at the end of the Derby). ... To me, he was never hard-pressed in either race. I don't know that (Espinoza) hardly hit him. To me, that fresh-horse thing doesn't apply in this spot."
Chrome's six-race win streak that ended Saturday began when the owners switched jockeys and went with Espinoza, who left Northern California in '96 to try his hand in the big leagues. Espinoza and Art Sherman never map out a race. Espinoza is a jazz musician, inventing his game plan on the fly.
"I talk with Steve (Sherman) a lot," Jauregui said. "He said they're going to let Victor do what he does."
Saturday afternoon, Chrome and Espinoza fell back to Earth at 3:58, and for thousands of their friends and colleagues at Golden Gate Fields, the party instantly fizzled out.
Oh, ye of too much faith.

A review of Persecution. By David Limbaugh.
Regnery, 2003.
How can someone possibly manage to fill a 400-page book with example after example of Christians being persecuted in the United States? Only if there happens to be a whole lot of cases of Christian persecution. And that is just what Limbaugh demonstrates in this frightening but much-needed book.
He makes it quite clear that Christians are regularly being vilified, abused, threatened, maligned and discriminated against, especially by the ruling elites. Thus our media, our schools, our courts, our governments and our entertainers seem to have declared open season on the followers of Jesus.
Ironically, most of the persecution is coming from those who shout the loudest about toleration and acceptance. The various radical activists and trendy lobby groups are keen on acceptance – when it comes to their causes – but are quite happy to shout down, oppose and vilify anyone who opposes their agenda. Thus some of the main persecutors of Christians have been the homosexual activists, the PC brigade, and the radical feminists, along with their institutional supporters.
This harassment and persecution amounts to an undeclared war on Christianity. While we expect this sort of activity in atheistic nations and former communist regimes, it is remarkable to find it happening on such a large scale in America. Yet as the subtitle of this book explains, liberals are waging war against Christianity.
And as Limbaugh points out, this is even more ironic given the nation’s founding. America was largely established on Judeo-Christian principles and beliefs, and its basic strengths and liberties spring forth from this soil. As a result, many of the freedoms and blessings enjoyed by Americans are being whittled away as the attack on Christianity extends throughout the nation.
The classroom is a classic case in point. The public school system has simply become a hotbed of secular humanism and anti-Christian bigotry. Limbaugh provides chilling examples of how our educational system is purging schools of any trace of faith.
Indeed, the examples are so numerous and so alarming that is hard to know where to begin. Consider just a few scenarios. In 1995 a US District judge in Texas said that any student saying the word “Jesus” would be arrested and spend 6 months in jail. A Vermont kindergarten student was expressly forbidden to say “God is not dead” to his classmates.
A teacher was rebuked for leaving religious literature in a New Jersey school faculty lounge, while literature trashing the ‘religious right’ was plentiful and fully allowed. After the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, students painted tiles and placed them above their lockers to help in the grieving process. Around 90 of them were removed however because they contained inflammatory rhetoric such as “God is love.”
Prayer of course has been banned, and textbooks even mentioning biblical characters are considered offensive and therefore must be removed. Choirs are banned from performing at school functions. And in the place of religion, we have a tidal wave of pro-homosexual activism, sex education, death education, values clarification and the like being foisted upon our hapless students. The examples are as numerous as they are mind-boggling.
Limbaugh rightly asks, what is happening to a nation that sees faith as an enemy and every sordid vice as a virtue?
Much of the suppression and hostility to the expression of Christianity comes from a faulty understanding of the so-called separation of church and state doctrine. Limbaugh examines this closely and shows that the founding fathers had no intention of eliminating religion from public life. The idea was merely to prevent one religion from becoming the state religion.
But the original intent of the founding fathers has been remarkably transmogrified by the secularists. Public education today simply bears no resemblance to how it first appeared. Indeed, Limbaugh reminds us that almost all of our earliest colleges were founded by Christians to train men and women in the ministry. Harvard, Princetown and Yale, for example, began as Christian training centres. Things have obviously changed markedly since then.
The courts, the media, the workplace, and the political realm also are full of anti-Christian bigotry. Limbaugh shows with countless examples that a once great nation based on Judeo-Christian principles is being shorn of any vestige of religion – much to our great peril.
Indeed, Limbaugh finishes his book with a review of the Christian heritage that helped to make America a free and prosperous nation. It was the Christian roots that gave rise to a great republic. But much of that is being undone by the secularisation process marching through the land.
Limbaugh reminds us that religious freedom is too important to give up without a fight, and that our Judeo-Christian heritage has served us well. The secularists may think their cause is progressive, but as this book shows, it is instead regressive, causing untold damage and destruction.

How the West got it wrong about Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda's hands-on CEO
So now we know. While holed up in his compound in Pakistan, Osama bin Laden really did behave like chief executive of a multinational company, issuing orders and advice to al-Qaeda affiliates in places as far flung as Algeria, Yemen and Iraq. Judging by the selection of documents released on Thursday, he spent a fair proportion of his time receiving recommendations from his allies and responding to their ideas – often shooting them down and complaining about the foolishness that had prompted them in the first place.
This is important because during the hunt for bin Laden, Western officials would often try to play down his importance. Journalists like me were told that he was too busy fleeing his enemies to actually run al-Qaeda. The mantra was that bin Laden was an ideological figurehead for the terrorist movement, but he probably had no “operational control” over its actions. And al-Qaeda itself, so we were told, was a loose network, not a centralised coherent organisation. On this analysis, bin Laden did not sit at the top of a hierarchy, issuing orders to his followers and ordering attacks on country X or country Y.
Except that he did. On the basis of the available evidence, we can now say this analysis was fundamentally mistaken. The letters show bin Laden doing exactly what we were told he was not doing. When his followers were planning attacks in Muslim countries, he ordered them to strike America and forget about everything else. Instead of being a loose network, al-Qaeda emerges as being so hierarchical and bureaucratic that it took on the trappings of the world’s fustiest civil service. A rule book of bewildering complexity lays down a structure of committees, departments, subcommittees, leaders and deputy leaders. And when procedures were ignored, the fastidious chief executive in Abbottabad was quick to complain.
I wonder whether an element of wishful thinking crept into some of the Western analysis of al-Qaeda. Because bin Laden managed to stay one step ahead of his pursuers for a decade, it was convenient to play down his importance. Living with the fact that he was still at liberty was much easier if you believed he was not able to run al-Qaeda anyway. So any evidence suggesting that he was no longer in operational control would have been filtered through this mental prism. All that is completely understandable – and the reasons cited to support the thesis were always plausible. But the analysis was still wrong. | http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/davidblair/100156869/how-the-west-got-it-wrong-about-osama-bin-laden-al-qaedas-hands-on-ceo/ | 2013-05-18T10:42:10 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] | 88 |

There are no prizes for guessing which team saw one of their players clinch the EuroChallenge Player Of The Week award after gameday 4 was completed as, for the third time running, it ended up in the hands of a Szolnoki Olaj player and, for the second time already this season, that player was Obie Trotter.
The American point guard scored "only" 19 points, below his season average, but his shooting percentage was almost perfect and he added 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals to reach an efficiency rating of 31 and lead the Hungarian outfit to a famous victory over Russian powerhouse Spartak Saint Petersburg.

If ever the players could raise the spirits of the Newcastle United fans, it’s tomorrow in our first game in the Championship season.
Chris Hughton – looking for a win tomorrow
Since we beat WBA twice last season in the Premier League we would hope that Newcastle players will be buoyed by the memory of those victories. After all we only won 7 games in total last season.
It turns out that 8 of the starters from February’s fantastic 3-2 win are set to play tomorrow at the Hawthorns, and both sides are fancied in the betting for promotion this coming season.
The Newcastle stand-in manager Chris Hughton is hoping that will give his side a psychological edge going into Saturday’s tea-time showdown (5:30 pm kick off time).
Chris told nufcTV today:
“I think the memory of a win will always give you something,”
“There will be a confidence among the lads that we’ve been there fairly recently and got three points.” “But the other side is that they will want to put right that result.”
“We know it will be extremely difficult away from home against a good side.” “But they will be thinking the same about ourselves.”
“We have got a lot of quality players here who want to be playing Premier League football, and the only way to make sure of that is by winning games and getting back up at the first time of asking.”
A win is exactly what the fans need, given the very depressing news that Mike Ashley is likely to take the club off the market for a second time.
We have no idea who the new manager will be, but if Mike wants to gain the support of the Newcastle fan base, which he’s completely lost with his antics over the summer, then he can still appoint Alan Shearer, even though that will be opening him up for even more ridicule.
The question will be – why didn’t Mike appoint him 10 weeks ago, and then we would have been ready for the Championship season, which we’re not right now, with a squad we simply cannot afford next season.
That may be just one step too far for Mike to make right now, even though some of his decisions are wild and unexpected – to say the least.
Watch out for a mad rush now, as the club tries to unload some of our high wage earners with players like Coloccini, Gutierrez, Geremi, Smith, Barton, Enrique and Xisco possibly leaving, among others.
Then there will be players like Nicky Butt who will probably want to get out of the Ashley mad-house before it’s too late.
What a complete and utter mess Mike has created at the Newcastle club over the summer.

Im waiting for the “need the fans to back the lads” article in the chronicle!!
Other way round I think – another sell out away match and I guarantee we wont be quiet!
Just cause we spanked them last match – doesnt mean we will again.
We need a gutsy hell for leather and tongs performance – will we get it – well its for the nation and world to see at 1730pm tomorrow
Howay the lads

….btw, well pondered, ‘pondering’ @1 – although I might’ve added an extra ‘m’ to indicate a more full-bodied cogitation. Having said that, each to his/her own ponderings.

Let’s face it – if we can get 3 points tomorrow it will mean a lot. This is one of the top contenders for promotion, and if we can beat them away it will certainly prove a point.

They have Morrison out which is a bonus for us.
When I look at both these teams, we are very similar in level yet completely different in make-up.
What I mean is, if they had OUR squad last season coupled with THEIR spirit and determination – they’d have stayed up.
I think the same would’ve applied the other way ’round – if we had their battling qualities we’d have stayed up.
It couldn’t have been a more difficult first game though, so I’d be moderately appeased with a point. | http://www.nufcblog.com/2009/08/07/players-can-help-raise-newcastle-fans-spirits-tomorrow/ | 2018-09-18T16:36:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | 1537267155561.35 | [

They all freeze, everyone. All around me. Their faces, expressions, clothing, posture, hair, demeanor—tell me who they are. Their past, their present, their future. I know them in an instant. I can see their beauty and feel their pain. They are mine. They are mine to play with, mold, create and destroy. They are mine to name. They are mine. Mine alone. Then, they move. They drift away. And they are the same. They are a crowd, one mass, without differentiation. I know them not. They are their own. But I remember and let others remember. | http://edservices.ccps.org/finearts/litofthenation/shepherd_fre.html | 2014-09-16T02:55:08 | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | 1410657111354.41 | [] | 13 |
Heresy is attractive, deeply attractive. It is the truth we all want in the way we all want it. Heresy appears to allow us to have God, Jesus, and a gospel to tell that is really good news. Inevitably heresy comes loadedwith gifts, benefits and selling points, and without costs, drawbacks, or small print. People who teach heresy don't present it as anything other than gospel.
Here are some of the key New Testament passages that deal with the deceptive appearance and words of false teachers.
Matthew 7:15-16 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits."
Matthew 24:4-5 "See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray." Corinthians."
Ephesians 4:14 "so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes."
Colossians 2:4 "I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments."
Colossians 2:8 "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.", 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 6:20-21 "O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith."
2 Timothy 3:5 "having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power."
2 Timothy 3:12-13 "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.":13 "They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you."
1 John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world"
2 John 7 "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist."
Revelation 2:2 "I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false."
Revelation 13:11 "Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon."

The other day, I got taken to Taken 2.
Taken to Taken 2. Heh.
Don’t mind me. Easily amused, me. My pain specialist has upped the dosages till they can find someone other than New England Compounders to make my shot.
I have to titrate up my Neurontin to see if my system can take 600 mg a day. The Percs, which I had prescribed as every eight hours and was actually taking about every twelve hours but only every other day, I am now supposed to take every six hours.
I did not take any before Taken 2, because I was thinking of the other moviegoers. Percocet makes me chatty. If you were in Auditorium 2 at Red Rock on Wednesday afternoon, you’re welcome.
I’ve had some now, though, because I’ve been up since 2 am and fuck that.
So, feeling chatty, I don’t feel bad about giving out spoilers on account of you’ve all seen the first Taken, including, I think, the Mom, who probably said, “Hey, isn’t that Broots?” about the bloke playing one of Liam Neeson’s former CIA buddies, and yes, Mommy, that was Broots. Well spotted.
What was I talking about?
Oh, right. Spoylerz. I haz them. My spoylerz. Let me show you them.
Everyone who thought Liam Neeson and Famke Janssen were going to reunite at the end of the first Taken, relax. They have ice cream sodas at the end of the new film. It’s very sockhoptastic.
Liam Neeson couldn’t have done any of his badassery this time round without Maggie Grace throwing grenades and dropping guns down chimneys for him.
Also, a bunch of blatant product placement for iPhone, Asus, and Skype, not in that order.
The Albanian father of the Albanian whom Liam Neeson took out in the first film has two other living Albanian sons. Stay tuned for Taken 3 and Taken 4, at least one of which will have Liam Neeson having to suck down some Metamucil in order to fight the Albanians who have kidnapped his grandchild.
He may wind up swinging his walker at them, is all I’m saying. Man’s already sixty, for fuck’s sake.
What else?
Oh, That Man of Mine has a new job, for which he must have an alcohol card, a gaming commission card, and a firearm.
I can’t object to his handling a gun. He was a crack shot in the Marines, so, theoretically, he knows what he’s doing.
However, he’s also become the man who can break a bottle of shampoo just trying to open it, so I don’t intend to be around when he cleans the thing.
Also, I have new party shoes, because I thought I was going to a party, only I’m not. Still, I have the shoes, just in case I ever get invited somewhere else.
And I got a whole box of lovely new makeup from E.L.F., including some stuff called Pout Perfecter, about which I am most pleased, and about which That Man, who considers my pout to be the equivalent of a sucker punch and pretty much already perfect, is less pleased.
See? Chatty.
drinking: ice water
listening to: Anarbor, Damage I’ve Done
other new makeup: a new compact which mr. armed security officer has already broken
Theoretically. Yeah, right.
I don’t expect him to injure himself or anyone else, so much as I expect him to break it and need another one. Knowing him, repeatedly.
IF…If I could set up a meetin with you and Liam, I’d be on it GW! Let’s toss it out here. Who knows Liam? Where there’s a will, there’s a way…
We still don’t even know William Shatner, you and I.
LMAO that you remembered that episode. I recorded that for Podcrapular in a (truly crappy) Mid-West parking lot. I did sound sincere, though! At least that was my take. Just the same, you live closer to Liam than me. I believe this would be a coup if we bloggers could figure out a way to have you meet the man!
Liam Neeson lives in New York, which is not anything near Vegas, last I checked. Not that it matters. We used to go to upstate New York all the time when we lived on the east coast and we never ran into him. Nor Natasha Richardson, come to that. | http://golfwidow.net/2012/10/19/chatty/ | 2015-01-29T06:15:08 | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | 1422115855845.27 | [] | 62 |
Dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands – these words describes the Lofoten best! If you brave the Cold and go there during the winter months, your trip will be full unforgettable nights by the campfire and dancing Auroras. Here are some tips that make life easier up on the Arctic Circle!
1# Make a bonfire
Definitely the best way to stay warm! Making a fire after the sun went down is essential to brave the cold and stay outside instead of getting in the sleeping bag. Use the fire to cook some delicious food, boil water for tea or just to sit down together for having a talk next to it.
2# Watch the Norther Lights dance above you
Standing on the beach, seeing how the sky lightens up in green and blue shapes which dance along in an almost magical way is something truly special and kind of feels out of this world! The Northern Lights is something that one has to see with their own eyes! For shooting this spectacle your tripod is along with a minimum f2.8 lens an essential key to good photos. Make sure not to expose for too long as the shapes will turn into an undefined color patch then.
3# Always carry a tripod
One of the most essential tools next to your camera and lens! The day is really short on the Arctic Circle during winter. Thus light is kind of week during the day too. If you seriously want to shoot landscape in the golden or blue hour or even during the polar nights you have to get a proper tripod that works for you. Get a stable one which can withstand the strong winds but on the other side get a light and compact one, so you’re still able to go hiking.
4# Hike and camp to a remote bay
The Island is full of hidden bays which are perfect for photography. Try to make your way to one of them – as most ways lead over passes that require a few hours of hiking, you will be probably alone on the beach. So get your camping gear, bring firewood and enjoy the loneliness in one of these remote areas.
5# Climb a mountain
Lofoten is a paradise for anyone who is interested into climbing mountains. Pack your ice axe and crampons and go for a climb! Don’t forget to bring your photography gear as well – some of the best views are from up there!
6# Go for a snowshoe hike or on ski tour
If you’re not much into climbing, you can go for a hike. Depending on the snow conditions it’s required to wear snowshoes or tour skis to cross the snow safely. In reward of this you will have lots of fun and see the magical winter world of the Lofoten Island!
7# Be extreme – go surfing
Without doubt Lofoten Island is one the best spots to surf in Europe. Some bays like Unstad gather loads of surfers – even during the winter months. With massive wetsuits they brave the Cold and the powerful waves. Try it by yourself or if you prefer the warmer option – get a hot chocolate and stay on the beach with a telephoto lens, trying to get some good shots of them! A monopod can be really handy in this situation when using focal lengths longer than 100mm, as you have to keep a relatively high shutter speed.
8# Visit the town of Reine
Build right on the sea Reine is a charming town! Stroll through the small village and enjoy the views of the typically Norwegian red houses with an incredible backdrop.
9# Catch sunrise in Hamnoy
Hamnoy is one of the most popular photo stops on the Lofoten. To avoid the crowds go there during sunrise when the sun begins hitting the mountains behind the small village! Make sure to take your tripod and be aware of taking a bigger one, as it needs to higher than the bridges ceiling.
10# Stay in a scenic hut in Hamnoy / Reine
A trip to Lofoten is only complete when staying in one of the huts! The charming fishermen interior makes it perfect for some indoor shots!.’ | http://manfrottoimaginemore.com/2016/11/17/10-outdoor-photography-tips-lofoten-island-winter/ | 2017-12-11T04:06:28 | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | 1512948512121.15 | [

We Want Freedom: Workers and Immigrants Announce Freedom Cities Campaign in NYC
On Friday January 20th at 11am in front of the Trump Hotel Central Park, the New York Worker Center Federation (WCF) will announce the launch of Freedom Cities, a new campaign that moves beyond sanctuary cities by expanding both the way safety is defined and the realm of who deserves protection.
Throughout Trump’s campaign he has sown divisions through his sexist, xenophobic, and racist rhetoric and campaign promises that threaten the safety and freedom of WCF members’ communities. In response to this multi-level attack, the WCF announces the Freedom Cities campaign with a six-point platform: Workers’ Rights, Safety Beyond Policing, Hate Free Zones, Community Control, Invest in Humanity, and Political Power.
“A Freedom City goes beyond the idea of a sanctuary city,” said Anshu Khadka, a community organizer at member organization Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM). .”
In contrast to the imposed vision of safety as policing, borders, deportations, and incarceration, Freedom Cities declare that safety is equal access to decent work, education, affordable housing, and healthcare. Through this campaign, people of color, immigrants, workers, women, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and youth are reimagining safety and belonging on their own terms, building power from the bottom up. The Freedom Cities platform recognizes that dismantling the web of deportations, attacks, and racialized policing and incarceration requires confronting the deep roots of criminalization and marginalization that have long enabled it.
“People look at us and we all look different, but when they listen, we have the same sound—we share the same battle,” said Janika Reyes, a member of Retail Action Project who is participating in the WCF’s Delfino Leadership Institute. “When I look around the room during a Delfino training, I see the faces of so many generations; I hear all of us leaders shouting ‘Unity is power!’ and I feel ready, I feel brave.”

24 Wholesale trade is the buying and selling by wholesale.
It may be reduced to three kinds:
- The home-trade
- This is the purchase of local produce in one part of a country to sell in another part of the same country.
- It includes the inland and the coasting trade.
- The foreign trade of consumption
- This is the purchase of foreign goods for home-consumption.
- The carrying trade
- This is the carrying of the surplus produce of one country to another.
- It is the transacting of the commerce of foreign countries.
25 The home trade generally replaces two distinct capitals [that of the buyer and that of the seller] employed in agriculture or manufactures.
- It enables the buyers and sellers to continue that employment.
- The value of commodities sent out from the merchant’s shop generally returns an equal value of other commodities.
- When both commodities are domestic produce, it replaces two distinct capitals which support productive labour.
- It enables them to continue that support.
- A trader’s capital sends Scotch manufactures to London and brings back English corn and manufactures to Edinburgh.
- His capital replaces distinct Scottish and English capitals employed in agriculture or manufactures.
26 The capital employed in buying foreign goods for home-consumption in exchange for domestic produce, also replaces two distinct capitals.
- But only one of them is employed in supporting domestic industry.
- A trader’s capital sends British goods to Portugal and brings back Portuguese goods to Great Britain.
- His capital replaces only one British capital and only one Portuguese capital.
- The foreign trade of consumption will only give half the encouragement to national industry as the home trade, even if its returns were as quick as the home-trade.
27 But the returns of the foreign trade of consumption are very seldom as quick as those of the home-trade.
- The returns of the home-trade come in before the end of the year.
- It comes three or four times in the year.
- The returns of the foreign trade of consumption seldom come in before the end of the year.
- It sometimes comes after two or three years.
- A capital employed in the home-trade can make 12 operations.
- It can be sent out and return 12 times, before that of the foreign trade of consumption has made one.
- If the capitals are equal, the home trade will give 24 times more encouragement to the country’s industry than the foreign trade.
28 The foreign goods for home-consumption may sometimes be bought with other foreign goods.
- Those other foreign goods must be bought immediately with domestic produce because foreign goods can only be bought with domestic goods, except during war and conquest.
- The effects of a round-about foreign trade are the same as a direct foreign trade.
- Except that the final returns will likely be more distant because they must depend on the returns of two or three other foreign trades.
- Assuming:
- British manufactures are used to buy Virginia tobacco
- Virginia tobacco is used to buy the flax & hemp of Latvia [Riga].
- The merchant must wait for the returns of Virginia tobacco and the flax & hemp of Latvia before he can re-purchase British manufactures.
- Assuming:
- British manufactures are used to buy Jamaican sugar & rum instead,
- Jamaican sugar & rum are used to buy Virginia tobacco, and
- Virginia tobacco are used to buy the flax & hemp of Latvia.
- The merchant must wait for the returns of the goods from Jamaica, Virginia, and Latvia.
- If those three foreign trades were done by three merchants, each merchant will receive the returns of his own capital more quickly if:
- the first imports goods
- the second buys the goods imported by the first
- the third buys those goods imported by the second, to export them again.
- But the final returns of the trade will be just as slow as ever.
- It makes no difference to the country whether the capital employed in a round-about trade belong to one or three merchants.
- It may make a difference to the particular merchants.
- In both cases, three times more capital must be employed to exchange British manufactures for flax & hemp than necessary had the manufactures and the flax & hemp been directly exchanged for one another.
- Such round-about foreign trade of consumption will generally give less encouragement to country’s productive labour than the direct trade of the same kind.
29 Whatever foreign goods are used to buy other foreign goods for home-consumption, brings no essential difference in:
- the nature of the trade or
- the encouragement it can give to the productive labour of the country it is carried on.
For example, if foreign goods are bought in Britain with Brazilian gold, this gold, like the tobacco of Virginia must have been bought with:
- British produce or
- another foreign commodity which was bought with British produce.
As far as the nation’s productive labour is concerned, the foreign trade done with gold and silver has all the advantages and inconveniences of any round-about foreign trade.
- It will replace with the same speed the capital immediately employed in supporting that productive labour.
- It even has one advantage over other round-about foreign trades.
- The transportation of those metals is less expensive than almost any other foreign goods, due to their small bulk and great value.
- Their freight is much less.
- Their insurance is not greater.
- No goods, besides, are less liable to suffer by the carriage.
- By the intervention of gold and silver, an equal amount of foreign goods may frequently be bought with fewer domestic produce, than with any other foreign goods.
- The country’s demand can be supplied more completely and at a smaller cost than in any foreign commodity.
- I shall examine next whether the country which continually exports those metals will be impoverished.
30 The capital of any country employed in the carrying trade is all withdrawn from supporting its productive labour to support the productive labour of foreign countries.
- It may replace the capitals of foreign countries.
- The Dutch merchant who sends the Polish corn to Portugal and returns Portuguese fruits & wines to Poland, replaces the capitals of Poland and Portugal.
- Neither of those two capitals supported the productive labour of Holland.
- One of the capitals supports the productive labour of Poland
- The other one supports that of Portugal.
- Only the profits return regularly to Holland.
- This is its sole addition to the national produce of Holland.
- When the carrying trade of any country is carried on with its own ships and sailors, the capital which pays the freight is distributed among, and mobilizes productive labourers of that country.
- Almost all nations in the carrying trade have done it in this way.
- The trade itself probably derived its name from it.
- The people of such countries are the carriers to other countries.
- However, this is not essential in the carrying trade.
- A Dutch merchant may carry the commerce of Poland and Portugal in British ships.
- We may presume that this is actually done.
- This is why the carrying trade was peculiarly advantageous to Great Britain
- Its defence and security depend on its shipping and on its sailors.
- But the same capital may employ as many sailors and shipping in the foreign trade or even in the home-trade (done in coasting vessels), as in the carrying trade.
- The number of sailors and shipping which any capital can employ does not depend on the nature of the trade.
- It depends partly on the bulk of the goods in proportion to their value.
- It depends partly on the distance of the ports where they are carried, chiefly upon their bulk.
- For example, the coal trade from Newcastle to London employs more shipping than all the carrying trade of England, though the ports are not far apart.
- Forcing more of the country’s capital into the carrying trade by extraordinary encouragements above the natural will not always increase that country’s shipping.
31 The capital employed in the home-trade will generally:
- Support more of its productive labour
- Increase the value of its produce more than an equal capital employed in the foreign trade
The capital in the foreign trade of consumption has a greater advantage over an equal capital in the carrying trade.
- The riches and power of every country must always be in proportion to the value of its annual produce, the fund from which all taxes must ultimately be paid.
- But the great object of the political economy of every country is to increase the riches and power of that country.
- It should give no preference nor encouragement:
- to the foreign trade above the home-trade
- to the carrying trade above either of those two
- It should neither force nor tempt into either of those two channels more of a country’s capital than what would naturally flow into them.
32 When the produce of any country exceeds its own demand, the surplus must be sent abroad.
- It must be exchanged for something which is in demand at home.
- Without such exportation, a part of the productive labour of the country must cease.
- The value of its annual produce must diminish.
- The land and labour of Great Britain produce more corn, woollens, and hardware than needed at home.
- The surplus must be exchanged for something in demand at home.
- This surplus can compensate the labour and expence of producing it only through such exportation.
- The sea-coast and the banks of navigable rivers are advantageous for industry only because they facilitate the exchange of such surplus produce.
33 When the foreign goods purchased with the surplus domestic produce exceed the demand at home, the surplus must be sent abroad again.
- About 96,000 hogsheads of tobacco are annually purchased in Virginia and Maryland with surplus British produce.
- But Great Britain does not require perhaps more than 14,000.
- If the remaining 82,000 could not be exchanged abroad, their importation must cease immediately.
- The productive labour of all the British employed in making those goods which purchase the 82,000 hogsheads must also cease.
- Those goods are part of Great Britain’s annual produce which has no market at home.
- The production of those goods must cease, as they are deprived of overseas demand.
- The most round-about foreign trade of consumption therefore may be as necessary as the most direct foreign trade in terms of supporting the productive labour of the country and the value of its produce.
34 When a country’s capital stock is increased to the point that it cannot be all employed to support its productive labour, the surplus naturally disgorges itself into the carrying trade.
- “The carrying trade is the natural effect and symptom of great national wealth”
- But it is not the natural cause of its wealth.
- Those statesmen who encourage it mistake the effect for the cause.
- Holland is by far the richest country in Europe.
- It has the greatest share of the European carrying trade.
- England is perhaps the second richest European country.
- It also has a big share of the European carrying trade.
- Although the English carrying trade frequently is, perhaps, a round-about foreign trade of consumption in reality.
- The round-about foreign trade of consumption is largely made up of the trades between America, the East and West Indies and Europe.
- Those goods are generally purchased immediately with:
- British produce or
- foreign produce bought with British produce, with the final returns being consumed in Great Britain
- The principal branches of the carrying trade of Great Britain are perhaps made up of:
- the trade done in British ships between the Mediterranean ports, and
- some of the trade done by British merchants between Indian ports.
35 The extent of the home-trade and the capital employed in it, is limited by the value of the surplus produce of all the distant places within the country.
- The extent of the foreign trade of consumption and the capital employed in it, is limited by the value of the surplus produce of the whole country.
- The extent of the carrying trade and the capital employed in it, is limited by the value of the surplus produce of all the countries in the world.
- Therefore, its farthest extent is infinite compared to the other two.
- It can absorb the greatest capitals.
36 Private profit is the sole motive of the owner of the capital in agriculture, manufactures, or wholesale or retail trade.
- The productive labour it may mobilize and the values it may add to the national annual produce is never in his thoughts.
- Individual capitals will naturally be employed in the most advantageous way for society in countries where:
- agriculture is the most profitable of all employments, and
- farming and land improvement are the most direct roads to a splendid fortune.
- However, agricultural profits are not superior to other employments in Europe.
- Within these few years, projectors everywhere have amused the public with most magnificent accounts of the profits to be made by land cultivation and improvement.
- A very simple observation can prove that they are false.
- Everyday we see the most splendid fortunes acquired in a single lifetime through trade and manufacturers, frequently from a very small capital, sometimes from no capital.
- Such a fortune acquired by agriculture from such a capital has perhaps not occurred in Europe in the present century.
- However, in all great European countries, much good land still remains uncultivated.
- Most of the cultivated lands are not yet fully improved.
- Almost everywhere, agriculture can absorb much more capital than before.
- In Books 3 and 4, I will explain:
- why European policy gave the trades of towns a great advantage over the trades in the countryside.
- why private persons find it better to employ their capitals in the most distant carrying trades of Asia and America than in the their own country’s land improvement.

One thing I LOVE about browsing through the library shelves are the serendipitous encounters with some really creative and amazing children’s books. Take for example these two:
Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas
This book is short, its funny and very colorful. A great read kid for kids 3 and under, but even adults will get a kick out of the humor.
Monique Felix concept book series
This series is just wonderfully done and the illustrations are amazing. This series is a wordless story of one little mouse (drawn to look 3D) eating his way through a piece of paper to reveal a fantastic illustration at the very end. There is a series for colors, (pictured below) the numbers, the alphabet, the plane, the train, etc. I’m seriously considering ordering these books online because the pictures are so pretty.

Pros: Excellent clarity, good speed, excellent highs
Cons: lack of bass body, average isolation, long burn in time
I purchased RE0 after a lot of thought and research here in head-fi forums. At first I was puzzled by their sound. Having used only Sennheiser CX 300 before I found the sound to be too complex and the highs too pronounced. I had them playing virtually all day long (and night) for the first 3-4 days to burn them in as I knew that they require a long 150+ hours. I was also using them while burning them in to experience the differneces in the sound. The most notable difference was the bass, that really became more tight and clear. Bear in mind that I got used to such a sound signature about one, one and a half week after regular listening with them. Now the clarity is amazing, the highs are jaw-dropping, mids come clean and not overshadowed by bass and speed is up to par with fast paced songs. I tried listening to CX300 the other day, 1 month after I got the RE0. Couldn't get past 2 minutes, too much bloated bass it sounded like there was a cannon firing next to the band. I can't believe that I heard music before them. The few thing that bother me are the lack of bass body, since I am not using an amp (for now) and my source is a sansa clip+ and the fact that wearing them over the ear can be a bit bothersome and uncomfortable. Another issue it that they are very source revealing, so if you have low bitrate mp3 files, prepare for a big dissapointment as they will sound worse. All things considered, best purchase so far for me, and I am sure as time goes by I will just appreciate them more, and so will you. | http://www.head-fi.org/products/head-direct-re0-in-ear-headphones/reviews/3745 | 2016-10-21T09:38:01 | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | 1476988718034.77 | [

The thought of returning to work after having a baby can be as exciting as it is daunting. While you’ve been taking time to recover and enjoy spending time with your new baby, the workplace hasn’t stopped, and the thought of stepping back into the hectic life of work can be terrifying to a new mum. But we’re here to help, with some of our tips on how to reintroduce yourself to the world of work while remaining the super-mum you’ve become.
Firstly, assess your situation. Discuss your situation with your partner or family members, and make sure this is the right time for you to return to work, or if you need to at all. Only do what feels right for you, your baby, and your family, and don’t be put under pressure by others suggesting you should return quickly. It can be difficult to make the decision, but it’s a hugely important decision to make, so make sure it’s an informed one. Look at your financial situation, and discuss childcare arrangements.
Arranging childcare is one of the most vital arrangements to make before your return. This can be one of the most emotionally exhausting parts of returning to work for many new mothers. Between day nurseries, childminders, nannies, au pairs and relatives, there are many options for childcare. Some of these won’t suit every family, but once again, it’s a discussion to be had with your partner or family.
Discuss your return with your employer. This is an essential step in ensuring both you, and your employer, are happy with the arrangements. For example, in some professions, flexible hours may be of benefit, and if you have worked there for at least 26 weeks, you have a right to discuss flexibility with your employer. Remember, this return is on your terms; take time to sort out a solution that works for you and your family.
Make sure you’re aware of your rights upon returning to the workplace. Oftentimes, even employers aren’t sure of the many laws involving maternity leave and mothers returning to the workplace, so make sure you’re well informed. If needed, take a printed out information sheet into your workplace and provide your employers with a copy to ensure you are all on the same page. You will have set a date with your employer prior to leaving so if you need to change this, make sure to give 8 weeks notice.
Finally, take your time. Don’t rush headfirst into it, take any time you need to adjust. Returning to work can be a huge decision and falling into a new pattern can take a bit of time. You will adjust and it will quickly feel normal again.
It’s only natural to have a little anxiety or to worry about returning to work after having a baby, and while it can be a difficult decision to make, it’s an extremely personal one. If you have any stories or experiences about this that you would like to share with the other parents who read our blog, why not get in touch?

Disputed vegetation that downs power lines and distribution poles represents the biggest obstacle to faster restorations after Hurricane Irma, Florida's investor-owned utilities say.
While the Sunshine State's distribution systems largely held up during the September 2017 storm, which caused 6.7 million outages, utility officials are now urging regulators to help their companies gain permission to trim trees outside their jurisdictions, known as rights-of-way.
But that authorization might not come before the start of the 2018 hurricane season. The Florida Legislature is out of session, and some local governments are resisting utilities' efforts to clear areas around electric infrastructure before and after storms.
If a power company has properly managed vegetation in its rights-of-way but a tree outside those zones falls onto its infrastructure, "there's not much" a utility can do, Tom Ballinger, director of the state Public Service Commission's engineering division, said at a regulatory workshop held May 2-3. The sessions aimed to identify which segments of power infrastructure performed well and where the system failed during the 2017 hurricane season that ravaged vast swaths of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
For Florida utilities, the focus remains strongly on transmission and distribution infrastructure. Though the companies are also investing to protect generation assets with solutions like flood monitoring systems, the ensuing friction between the needs of utilities and the rights of municipalities and private property owners dominated the recent PSC meetings.
Bryan Olnick, Florida Power & Light Co.'s vice president of distribution operations, agreed with Ballinger. The utility and its peers are not allowed to venture beyond their rights-of-way for vegetation management. Additionally, no statewide law requires municipalities and citizens to plant in optimal spots — a practice the utilities call "right tree, right place" — to prevent interference with distribution systems during storms.
Other examples of vegetation-induced disruption include underground circuits ripped to the surface by tree roots, and distribution poles felled by wet soil or drooping flora. Downed trees can also obstruct roadways, further delaying utility crews.
While Olnick credited some counties and cities for setting more stringent regulations dictating which plant species can be planted where, other entities have their own management plans and are "planting trees right back under our lines as we speak," he said.
"There's a balance to be struck between legitimate aesthetic concerns and our obligation to clear the lines," said Jason Cutliffe, Duke Energy Florida LLC's director of power, quality and reliability. Seven of every 10 Duke distribution poles broken during Irma were due to vegetation impacts, he added, with "most" happening when trees outside rights-of-way fell into utility territory.
FPL has spent nearly $3 billion on its grid over the last 11 years, according to the utility. Duke Energy Florida said since 2004 it has invested more than $2 billion strengthening its system. Tampa Electric Co. over the past decade has spent $479 million on hardening.
'Sticky relationship issues'
Florida's biggest utilities are at various stages of undergrounding their distribution lines to mitigate vegetation damage, officials told regulators.
"A little over" 40% of FPL's system is underground, Olnick said, with Cutliffe reporting Duke at 43%. Regan Haines, Tampa Electric's director of transmission and system operations, said "roughly" 40% of that company's wires are below the surface. Cutliffe added that the "vast majority" of greenfield distribution construction is by default going underground.
In July, FPL will kick off a three-year pilot program to bury some of its overhead laterals. "This could eliminate potentially a lot of issues that you may see with vegetation issues and rear-of easements in the future," Olnick said. "There's one way you can do it, but you're still always going to be back trimming that tree. So we're trying to figure out a way to engineer this out once and for all."
While PSC members were sympathetic to the utilities, some raised questions on the costs of these measures, and whether anything can be ultimately done about what Commissioner Donald Polmann described as "sticky relationship issues" with municipalities.
State lawmakers have expressed desire to resolve this tension. A select Florida House committee was created after Irma to review hurricane preparedness and response at all levels, including power companies. That panel issued dozens of recommendations, one of which was the possible repeal of local governments' exceptions to statewide standards for vegetation management within rights-of-way. The legislature adjourned without codifying this into law.
The PSC is also expected to soon produce a report with recommendations on how utilities can do better for the coming hurricane season, which starts June 1.
Standardized schedules pondered
Tree-trimming costs have been included in utilities' base rates since the mid-2000s. But the PSC's consumer advocate, the Office of Public Counsel, has called for those expenses to instead be appraised during annual storm-hardening review sessions.
Jon Moyle, an attorney for the Florida Industrial Power Users Group, suggested the PSC implement standardized vegetation management cycle lengths across all utilities, which he argued would make tree-trimming costs less variable during cost recovery review. Companies currently create and execute their own schedules.
"If I'm a utility, and I have a wide degree of variability with respect to expenditures, there are a lot of things that I have to look at," Moyle said. "I want to try to make an earnings number, and if I can say I can defer tree-trimming for this year, that'll help me with my earnings — not unlike owning a piece of property, you defer maintenance and you have a better result."
PSC Commissioner Gary Clark pushed back against this idea, saying that utilities factor in individual circumstances like weather, topography and vegetation types when formulating cycles. Sometimes droughts obviate the need to trim at all, he added. Clark was open, however, to companies coming to the PSC to specifically defend their vegetation management costs.

A Glimpse of the Kingdom in Academia: Academic Formation as Radical Discipleship.
Eugene OR: Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2013.
Synopsis: University is a major way that our society prepares professionals and leaders in education, health, government, business, arts, church–all components of our communal lives. Although the beginnings of the first universities were Christian, academia has become more and more adrift from these foundations. We have lost not only the union, the interwovenness of theological and academic understandings, but also the relational and communal process of learning which teaches students to be other-centered in their practice.
A.
Reviews:
"This book is an invitation to another way of seeing, but it is also dense in alternative epistemological sources. . . . This book should be read by all those involved with student learning and administration. It can also be read by any teacher or administrator, school or institution hoping to make learning more open and transformational in any discipline or context." (Nicola Hoggard Creegan, Lecturer in Theology, Laidlaw College).
"[This] is not simply a how-to book. It is a book that will move you into a more profound way of reading and entering the gospel story. It is a book marked by a theology of the Kingdom or reign of God and a holistic vision of God's redemptive and healing purposes for our world. It is a book also shaped by the newer liberation and feminist theologies. Moreover, it is a book marked by profound spirituality. . . . It is my hope that this book will be a precursor of what is to come, that it will point the way for others to take the shape of their life in Christ into the public sphere." (From the Foreword by Charles Ringma, Emeritus Professor, Regent College).
Stories of Transformation and Hope: Mary's Gospel.
Eugene OR: Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2014.
Synopsis: What if the people I know were to be transformed by an encounter with the cosmos? The foreign woman who argues with the doctor, the homeless man on the street corner, the corrupt politician, the fisherman risking his life to make a living. What if I met up with them in a decade and found that each had experienced a life transformation after meeting the God-Man, Jesus, who touched them in the deepest core of their being? And what if one of Jesus' companions was to meet them and listen to their story, the story of their life and their encounter with the one who brought transformation?
This book collects the imagined stories of men and women of whom we know very little, only the bare bones of their encounters. It is a book for the foreign woman, the homeless man, the politician, and the fisherman–any of us who want to deeply encounter a God who meets us as a real person. The stories touch us because they are refashioned into the contextual thinking of our time and our culture–and yet they reflect the reality of another time, a time when God walked among us–in our streets, and our neighborhood, and into our homes.
Practicing the Presence of Jesus.
Eugene OR: Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2011.
Synopsis: Many Christians long to know God more deeply but find themselves limited by old understandings and ways of knowing. Practicing the Presence of Jesus rediscovers the centuries old Ignatian tradition of placing oneself into the gospel story to experience the presence of Jesus in a vital and real way. Each chapter explores another angle to come to the stories, while remaining true to the scripture.
Irene Alexander gives examples of her own retellings, and real life interactions with the gospels to illustrate the process and make it accessible to contemporary readers. Readers will be led through a process of entering the stories themselves, so that they connect with the Jesus, human and divine, in the present reality of their daily lives. Relevant for new believers as well as those who have known God for decades, these stories introduce readers to a vibrant way of being present to the reality of our God.
Reviews:
"Many Christians in the West no longer have a deep connection with the biblical story. They simply don't read it, except for the occasional Psalm and the story of Christmas. This book may revive their interest in re-engaging God's grand and invitational narrative. For as the author has so clearly demonstrated in this winsome and personal storytelling of psychological depth and spiritual insight, scripture is the profound story in which we can find ourselves with all of our life's issues. And where we can hear the invitation to become a renewed and enlarged self in the grace of Christ and the generative work of the Spirit." (Charles Ringma).
"Don't think of this as a book to read. Think instead of it as a wonderful conversation over coffee—or perhaps while on a long walk—with a warm and very wise Christian woman whose faith is grounded in her own ongoing dialogue with the living God. This isn't a book of ideas. It is much more personal than that. It is a book in which the author invites the reader to accompany her in engaging with scriptures—not as a text to be studied but as the living word of the Creator that must, therefore, be engaged with the senses and imagination, not just reason and analysis. Read it slowly and prepare for your life to be changed."(David G. Benner author of Opening to God and Soulful Spirituality).
Dancing with God: Transformation through Relationships.

Reid story brings moon landing closer to home
Review
‘Honeysuckle Creek: The Story of Tom Reid, a Little Dish and Neil Armstrong’s First Step’
By Andrew Tink
NewSouth, 264pp, $34.99
by ROSS FITZGERALD
Stories about the first men on the moon continue to attract our attention. Those of us who were alive at the time probably remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the Apollo 11 moon mission’s lunar module ‘Eagle’ landed on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC.
This story is on screen at the moment in the moving film ‘First Man’ starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, the bloke who famously took that “one giant leap for mankind”. Now we have another book about this historic event, and it’s a bold and quirky one at that.
‘Honeysuckle Creek’ focuses on the work of Tom Reid, the director of the space-tracking station at Honeysuckle Creek, in the high country south of Canberra. To write it, politician turned author Andrew Tink had to learn to understand the intricate workings of radar, dishes, transmitters, receivers and computers in the 1950s and 60s.
In doing so, he was helped by Reid’s surviving colleagues, especially from his Royal Navy and Honeysuckle Creek station days. Now in their 70s and 80s, these former colleagues were invaluable in fleshing out this fascinating story. Reid died in 2010.
However, the author is also indebted to someone who has never worked at a tracking station and who is neither an engineer nor a technician. Colin Mackellar, who has spent years developing a website dedicated to the history and workings of the station and dish at Honeysuckle Creek, is the technical adviser to this book. He is held in high regard by Honeysuckle’s surviving engineers and technicians.
Tink highlights Honeysuckle Creek’s pivotal role in the first landing and walk on the moon. As this book makes clear, this tracking facility was far more important in covering Apollo 11 than the better-known radio telescope based at Parkes Observatory in rural NSW. In doing so, Tink demonstrates that the popular 2000 film ‘The Dish’ was essentially a work of fiction. Indeed, without Reid’s Australian tracking station the world might never have seen and heard Armstrong’s immortal words.
Importantly, Honeysuckle Creek transmitted the monumental footage featuring Armstrong and fellow American astronaut Buzz Aldrin to a worldwide audience of more than 600 million people.
Reid and the tracking station at Honeysuckle Creek were thus responsible for broadcasting some of the most watched and most important images in human history.
Without the enthusiastic co-operation and support of Reid’s elder daughter, Margaret Reid, this inspirational book could not have been written. In addition to spending many days talking about her reticent Glaswegian father, she allowed the author unfettered access to documents, tapes and photographs. Of more than a score of high-quality black-and-white photographs that adorn this book, two standouts are one of the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station and dish dusted in snow a few days before Apollo 11’s launch in July 1969 and another taken less than four hours before Armstrong’s walk on the moon. In this photo, Reid is seen explaining the intricacies of the operations control room to John Gorton, on the maverick Liberal prime minister’s unannounced VIP visit to the tracking station.
The most revealing photograph is a fine portrait of Reid standing to the far left of the entire all-Australian Honeysuckle Creek team that he led so successfully during that history-making Apollo 11 mission.
In crafting this important contribution to the story of Australia’s role in space exploration, and to the significant role of Reid in particular, the photos and text of Honeysuckle Creek complement each other beautifully.
Fittingly, in April 1989, the US government presented Reid with NASA’s Exceptional Public Service Medal. Until the publication of this book, Reid had been one of our nation’s unsung heroes.
Tink is to be praised for bringing his remarkable story to public light at a time when there’s now talk of crewed missions to Mars in the not-too-distant future.

Below is a message from comedian and actor Aasif Mandvi announcing upcoming changes to his web series "The Qu'osby Show," of which TAKE ON HATE is a supporter..
Therefore, we are temporarily suspending our Indiegogo campaign until January 2015 to make a few small but critical changes to the series. All perks will be honored and we will complete the campaign and launch the series; just a little later than we had originally planned.
It is worth noting that the decision to call our web series The Qu’osby Show did not reflect any interest in honoring Bill Cosby personally or in downplaying the seriousness of the multiple allegations made against him. It was based on the unique role played by The Cosby Show itself, which represented a significant step forward in its portrayal of a complex, lovable, high achieving if flawed African American family. Each week it served as a powerful counterpoint to an often race-baiting media, obsessed with images of African American criminality.
That is why it was such a powerful model for an American Muslim sitcom, which we believe will be a valuable counterpoint to the contemporary media’s obsession with fostering mistrust and misinformation by perpetuating images of Muslim violence.
I am committed to using my platform to insert a more accurate and nuanced portrayal of American Muslims into the media. Before we launch our web series, we will make any changes we believe are necessary to ensure the primacy of our message about anti-Muslim bias in American today.
Thank you again for your early and generous support. Please feel free to send any questions or thoughts to [email protected].
All the best,
Aasif

It is only now, after about two weeks, that the Kony wave has finally begun to break at Laurier Brantford.
It has flooded into global, public consciousness like a tsunami. Ask anyone under 25 about African warlord Joseph Kony or his numerous atrocities, and you'll probably hear the echo of Invisible Children's 30-minute YouTube video, which is by now ubiquitous among the social-media literate.
Here on campus it caused many to change their Facebook status, to electronically share the video, to write long monologues on the killings and what should be done. It ignited walks, including one last week that caused local residents to turn their heads, simply because the large number of participants was considered unprecedented.
Now that the dust has settled somewhat, there are still so many questions that this international phenomenon has produced, particularly since the movement has bumped up against some very harsh critics. Reporters from the Toronto Sun, the New York Times and even Al-Jazeera are reporting that many Ugandans find the video to be a gross oversimplification that trivializes their suffering.
Some worry that only a small percentage of donations actually goes to help those in need. And others claim that this video is behind the times and that Kony has moved to the Congo, making this Ugandan portrait more historical than it is relevant.
So, where does that leave the passionate students who have given selflessly here in Brantford?
"To me, it's kind of like there's so much to it," says Darcy Doll, a third-year student at Laurier Brantford. "I just want people to be looking into it and just realizing what's going on. There are so many factors to it."
Doll, active in social justice movements on campus and passionate about overcoming youth apathy, sees both the good and the bad in Kony 2012.
She says that, although there are certainly issues, the movement represents a huge step in the right direction and provides proof that young people can and do care about larger world problems.
"There's so much going on," she says.
"I do really love that it's come up and that something of this magnitude is being brought about, even though it's lost a bit of momentum now. I don't want to be cynical about the movement because it's such a positive force," says Doll.
"The trend is encouraging more of a world-issues take on things rather than something that's just about Kim Kardashian or some ridiculous unimportant celebrity. It was a really great way to start promoting awareness and a greater understanding of what's going on in the world."
In many ways, Doll represents what is so massively important about young people, their enthusiasm, eagerness and willingness to help. Apathy is often a problem, but it is clear that many of us are willing to give and help when called upon. Sometimes, in the glow of unbridled optimism, a careful analysis of what the real issues are and how to best give aid can get lost in the shuffle, but this does not mean we should dismiss "Kony 2012" outright.
"There are a lot of people who didn't know…. I had no idea that was going on before," says Madison Hawkins, a third-year student at Laurier Brantford.
"I just feel like (critics) are taking away from the real message that (the video maker) was trying to get across, that these poor children are running for their lives; they really need to take a step back."
There are local implications to what this means. Selfless facilities and programs, here in our own backyard, may be able to use the Internet to grab students' attention, because much of what they're doing is just as deserving of attention.
Take, for example, the St. Leonard's Community Services, which houses homeless youth and helps reintegrate them into the fabric of our community. Look at the Why Not Youth Ministries, the Salvation Army or any of the local churches and the local mosque, which serve hot meals to the homeless every day.
Kony 2012 shouldn't represent to us what's wrong with the youth, but rather serve as an example of the beauty to be found in gleaming, pure optimism and try to apply that on a local level.
We all must strive to be more critical (not cynical), but sometimes you have to take the good with the bad.

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell
news #dlg-digital
Ever wondered what makes successful people successful?
If you think it’s down to the Bill Gates’ of this world having some kind of special gift, or that they have a particularly driven personality to help them to make billions, think again.
As Gladwell points out, “the biggest misconception about success is that we do it solely on our smarts, ambition, hustle and hard work”.
According to the book, we need to stop focussing on the character traits of individuals, and instead look at their background, the opportunities they’ve been given and the way they have responded to them.
The first thing this book taught me is that not all patterns are obvious.
As a digital product manager, my job involves insight – I have to look for patterns and opportunities in data, every day. The way that Malcolm Gladwell explores how success comes about has completely reverse-engineered that for me. The book made me realise how agile your thinking has to be, in order to spot opportunities.
It also made me think about things from a leadership perspective. There are a lot of people with capability who never get to realise their potential. Why is that? How can we change the way we do things to get the best out of everyone?
You might have an amazingly creative person in your team, but you never get to hear their ideas because they’re more introverted. How do you start to weave in opportunities to encourage them to speak up naturally, rather than forcing them and making them feel uncomfortable?
I play a lot of team sports, so I started thinking about how this applies outside of work, too – how do I make sure everyone gets a fair crack at things?
Success isn’t simply a case of working hard to achieve your dreams. Sometimes there are circumstances outside of your control
In his book, Gladwell discusses how the Canadian ice hockey team was losing potential talent because of the way it was set up. The academy selection process meant that only those born in the first quarter of the year had any real chance of success. So no matter how hard they worked, some kids would never make the grade in time to play professionally, simply because they were born too late in the year.
I can relate to that, having played rugby for most of my life. When I reached the stage where I might get selected to train professionally, I realised that as a sport dominated by private schools, a lot of the selection process is based on where you come from, so I eventually came to the end of the road.
But it’s not all bad…
Circumstances can also work in your favour. Bill Gates’ parents were successful, so could afford to send him to a good school. And luckily for him, he went to Lakeside – Seattle’s most elite private school.
Self-programming was new at the time, and Gates had unparalleled access to computers – the chance to explore the technical world and build systems. This gave him a huge advantage over those who perhaps had the same capabilities, but didn’t have the opportunity.
Talent alone won’t get you where you need to go – you need purposeful practice to really excel
In addition to his engaging story telling and real-life examples, what really resonated for me is the idea that talent alone won’t get you where you need to go – you need purposeful practice to really excel.
The idea that you can achieve success if you put enough practice in – ten thousand hours to be precise – is attributed to Gladwell. So even if you started young or got a lucky foot in the door, you still have to put in the hours to achieve success.
Tiger Woods deliberately practiced the more difficult shots. He kept pushing himself to make sure he left nothing to chance. Because as they say in sport – hard work only beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
You also need to be prepared to take advantage of the unplanned opportunities that come your way. The difference between normality and greatness could be a sequence of events that you have little to no control over.
Changing my working environment
My personal takeaway was to consider what type of leader I want to be and the culture I’d like to create.
I reflected on my own experiences: The nature of my environment at school was to speak your mind, pitch up. Nobody was going to encourage you or listen, so you had to look after yourself or miss out. As a result, I’m more than happy to pitch in with an opinion, get involved, or put my hand up.
Through working in different departments and playing sports with various teams, I’ve met a lot of people who were maybe a bit quieter, but when they did speak, I realised that they spoke with authority and people would stop and listen.
Shiny happy people
So I’ve been thinking about how can I give space to other people, encourage them to put themselves forward and take advantage of opportunities.
It’s easy to just focus on what you need to do, to concentrate on making sure your own input is really good. But it’s important that everybody has an equal opportunity to shine.
Moving into looking after the team, albeit temporarily, I plan to do what I can to make sure that everybody can say “I’ve got no barriers, I’ve got access to opportunity, I can just get on with being brilliant.” Then I can focus on things that they need help with, rather than things that are outside of their control.
Even on a small level, if I can have a positive impact on people in my immediate working environment, then we’re all one step closer to being more successful.

Abstract
Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons at 4.8 GeV center-of-mass energy were used to search for charmed mesons in the mass range 1.5 to 4.0 GeV/c2. We looked for narrow peaks in the invariant-mass distributions for Kπ±, Ks0π+π-, π+π-, K+K-, Kπ±π±, Ks0π±, Ks0K±, and π+π-π±. We present upper limits for the inclusive production cross section times the branching ratio for charmed mesons having these decay modes.

Some of the important diseases are caused by chromosomal abrnomalities, for example down’s syndrome. These are called as genetic diseases. Also, some of the causes of infertility (recurrent abortion etc) could be due to genetic abnormalities.
Therefore, testing the embryo for genetic abnormalities is a very important step for successful outcome of the treatment. Also, this is very important to have a healthy baby. Some couples would like to opt for gender selection which can be done through these tests.
There are 2 types of genetic tests which can be performed:-
1) Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD):- This is a diagnosis test where tests are performed for known genetic conditions. The wife or husband or both may have any of such genetic conditions or have a family history or their previous child would be having such conditions.
2) Pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS):- This is a broad screening test to identify various common types of genetic abnormalities.
How it is performed?
In both PGS and PGD, one or more cells from the embryo are taken out by a biopsy procedure on the 3rd or 5th day and send to a advanced genetic laboratory.
The laboratory would perform the respective genetic tests and give the report.
Doctors and the embryologist at the clinic would review the report, counsel the patient and take further decisions. | http://a-ivf.ae/ar/genetic-testing-pgd-pgs/ | 2019-07-15T22:06:44 | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | 1563195524254.28 | [] | 107 |

The title story is the tale of two friends with very different personalities—one competitive and aggressive, the other kind and disinterested. They are confronted with circumstances that lead to a catharsis in which both men will move beyond their predetermined roles. Another story, “The Return,” introduces a father whose work takes him far from home for months at a time. Over the years, the names, faces and personalities of his wife and children have blurred in his memory, a fact that comes cruelly to light when, while on a trip, he learns that one of his daughters has died but can’t recall exactly which one it is. In his confusion he begins asking himself which daughter he would miss most—a heartless question but one that will bring him to recognize his failings as a man and as a father. | https://www.europaeditions.com/book/9781609459406/concerto-to-the-memory-of-an-angel | 2018-06-17T22:06:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | 1529267859817.15 | [] | 112 |

- Winter Salt Spreader with Tweaks Review by HoosierHitman
Overall the spreader is a decent unit for the money. The unit came in a box of parts and for me (IT guy who is also builder), the assembly was much harder than expected. About 2 hours total to assemble . The toughest part of the assembly were the bolts that connect the motor and spreader base to the plastic tub . Four bolts going through various washers and brackets all to be assembled at the same time. Once assembled the unit bolted on to my Arctic Cat rear deck without much problem. The mounting plate they provided didnt help with my particular application, but may help for other ATV mounting options. As for the operation, the unit is quiet.. Its really TOO quiet because there are times when i am loading salt, I could not hear the wheel spinning and hit my knee against it. Its a single speed motor with the speed set to FAST ! The electrical connection is a simple two wire that can be connected through cig lighter or wired to a harness that fits your ATV. I went one step further, and would recommend it. bought a three speed heater switch from NAPA for $15 and covered the connectors with tape to waterproof and adapted it to my handle bar. I then wired it into the hot circuit so i could dial the motor speed down slightly. As for the gate that lets the salt drop out of the bin onto the wheel. Its manual but I did bolt a short wire from the gate handle and the other end to the hopper frame so that i can pull the handle out to a pre-set distance to regulate the proper flow of the rock salt. The hopper will hold close to three 40lb bags of rock salt. The biggest issue i have with the unit right now is that the circular grooves in the spinning wheel are probably fine for fertilizer, but they are too narrow and too shallow for rock salt, thus causing the salt to drop on top of the grooves and not spin out properly. This causes the spread width to be less than 3 feet , so i have to make two passes on the driveway, one for each tire track. I may build a better wheel out of wood or metal with a standard four fin design. As I said earlier, i am happy with the overall design and performance for my application.

HILLSDALE, Mich.-- The Lake Erie College men's basketball team took a three-game winning streak into Hillsdale, Mich. Thursday night (Jan. 23) but were unable to leave with a victory, falling to the Chargers, 66-48, in Great Lakes Intercollegaite Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play.
Hillsdale jumped out to a 9-0 lead early on before the Storm got on the board. The Chargers defense continued to pressure the Storm, holding them to just eight points in the first 13 minutes, taking a 39-22 lead into the break.
Garrick Sims (Barberton, Ohio/Barberton) led the Storm with eight first-half points while Sean Howard (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) netted six off the bench. The Storm was held to just nine-of-29 (31%) in the first-half while the Chargers hit 15-of-28 (53.6%).
The Storm started the second-half on a 9-2 run to bring the score within 10 points, 41-31. The Storm kept within ten until the Chargers went on a 6-0 lead to gain a 16 point advantage. Lake Erie answered with a 5-0 to bring the lead down to 11 but once again but the Chargers went on a 9-0 run to move ahead by 20, putting the game out of hand for the Storm.
Sims led the Storm with 13 points and eight rebounds. Riley Thomas (Cardington, Ohio/Cardington-Lincoln) was held to just 11 points. Howard ended the game with eight points.

Breaking up is hard to do. But then, celeb couples don't split like normal people. Amid the custody and property settlements, they bicker over the oddest things, like who gets the mutt and what happens to the frozen embryos.
Tom Cruise's fervent devotion to Scientology ended his six-year marriage to Katie Holmes, who feared he would abduct their daughter Suri. Tom now regards his Katie as a "suppressive person" (that's Scientology lingo) and as a result, reportedly hasn't seen their now nine-year-old daughter in nearly two years. Only in Hollywood, right?
Sometimes it gets even weirder. Click through for other celebrity exes who have had strange post-split battles.
Sofia Vergara and her ex Nick Loeb are currently engaged in a bitter custody battle over frozen embryos. Yep, seriously. He wants to prevent her from destroying them, while she insists she wants to keep them on ice indefinitely. Nick claims he was a battered boyfriend during their relationship, and Sofia says he's just taking advantage of her hot career. This is one Hollywood ending that definitely won't end well.
When Canadian model Sonni Pacheco filed for divorce from Jeremy Renner, she requested that he return her passport, birth certificate and social security card and also accused him of fraud. How's that for a sketchy split?
After Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart broke up for good in 2012, Rob wanted custody of Bear, the mutt he adopted from a shelter in New Orleans. A source told Radar Online that Kristen would fight him for the pooch because "they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby". In the end, Robert won the custody fight...without having to take Kristen to court.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries split up after less than a minute of marriage in 2012, and one of the big questions was what would happen to the wedding gifts. Kim claimed to have donated some of them to charity along with $200K to cover twice the cost of the presents, but as Kris pointed out, that clearly didn't include the $325K Ferrari given to them by a Malaysian businessman. He also estimated the cost of the gifts to be closer to $700K. That might be just a drop in the golden Kardashian bucket, but it's years worth of paydays for normal couples.
Halle Berry's five-year relationship with Gabriel Aubry produced daughter Nahla, 7. During their protracted custody dispute, Halle fought to stop Gabriel from straightening Nahla's hair, which she blasted as his attempt to make the little girl look more white.
When David Hasselhoff and Pamela Bach divorced in 2008, part of the settlement was that he got custody of the nickname "Hoff" and the catchphrase "Don't hassle the Hoff". You read that right. We're not making this up.
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's divorce and custody battle over daughter Ireland was pretty harsh, even by celebrity standards. Among the more shocking allegations was Alec's charge of "parental alienation syndrome", in which he claims Kim turned Ireland against him. That leaked voice mail in which Alec called his then 11-year-old "a rude thoughtless pig" would suggest that Kim did a pretty bang-up job. | https://celebrity.nine.com.au/latest/fix080515strange-celeb-post-split-battles/75d7d2e1-01be-445b-a054-3c8c93891e4c | 2019-10-14T07:08:11 | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | 1570986649232.14 | [] | 69 |

Fiat India is putting together a new strategy to grow its business in the country as part of the parent's decision to drive volumes outside Italy.
In another development, Fiat has decided to rename Maestro as Petra and will launch its diesel version next month.
"Yes, we are working out on a new strategy based on our parent's decision to drive volumes outside Italy," a company spokesperson told Business Line.
The spokesperson said the new strategy is at an advanced stage of being formulated and would be unveiled soon. He said the 1.9 lt Petra diesel would be the first launch this year and it could be followed by a few more launches.
Fiat Auto's new chief executive officer Mr Herbert Demel had announced that Fiat will look outside Italy to grow volumes and it would move towards relatively independent sub-units across its global operations.
The spokesperson said Maestro's name was changed because a tyre company's product carries the same name. He said the 1.9 lt Petra is built on the same platform as that of Siena and will compete with cars like Indigo.
The spokesperson said during the current calendar year, the company expects to sell slightly more than the 12,000 cars it sold in 2003. "We are in the midst of working out our new strategy and hence its implementation would take sometime before volumes would start growing," the spokesperson said.
In 2002, Ford sold a total of 32,000 units but sales fell drastically because of changes in its parent company, Fiat Auto.
The spokesperson said Palio constituted nearly 85 per cent of the total sales in 2003. Siena, Adventure and Uno are the other cars in Fiat's stable. Fiat India had earlier said Palio's success had helped it to reduce losses in its Indian operations by as much as 65 per cent over the previous year.
Since its launch in September, 2001, more than 50,000 Palios have been sold so far. The 1.2 ELX petrol variant of Palio accounts for over 60 per cent of the total sales of the car. Palio's latest version, the 1.9 diesel variant was launched in March, 2003.
The turnaround of the company began with the launch of the Palio in September 2001 as it opened up a new segment in the market with a 1.6 hatchback. Sources said Fiat carried out a clinic test about the customers' preferences and also undertook an extensive road test totalling about 100,000 kms. At the basic level, certain changes were incorporated like the car body was reinforced and the ground clearance was raised to suit Indian road conditions.
Fiat also brought out several variants of Palio at different price points in an attempt to cater to all the segments.
Fiat India plans to launch several new variants of the 178 platform on which Palio was built. It recently reduced the price of its spare parts by 35 per cent to boost its after sales service.

This taper varies in weight, diameter and thickness over the length of the line.<br /><br />There are five main types of taper, each to meet a specific purpose<br /><br />Weight-forward (WF) taper<br />These are the most popular and the best choice if you are a beginner<br />The first 30 feet or so of line is heavier because of its tapered front end<br />The rest of the line is thinner and is known as the running line<br />The weight-forward line helps with long casts and better precision even in windy conditions<br /><br />Bass bug/saltwater (BBT) taper<br />This taper is much like the weight-forward design except that the front section does not run as long<br />This design helps with heavier flies, hence its use for catching feisty bass or bigger saltwater fish<br /><br />Double taper (DT)<br />DT fly lines are preferred by seasoned fly anglers<br />These lines work especially well in making delicate presentations on small- to medium-size rives since the belly is at the center, with both ends gradually tapering<br />This makes the line highly economical too because when one end wears out, you can turn the line around and use the other end<br />This line won't cast as far or provide as much wind resistance as a weight-forward line<br /><br />Shooting taper (ST)<br />ST lines cast farther than other lines so they are designed for fast-running rivers and in extreme wind conditions. The line portion (front section) is stout and short to form a casting loop.<br />Most anglers attach a shooting line on the running line using monofilament, braided line or a very fine diameter fly line<br /><br />Level (L) taper<br />These lines are uniform in diameter throughout, making them the most economical<br />If you are a beginner don't try to save money this way. Level taper lines are the most difficult to cast so they really are best used by seasoned veterans, primarily for fly fishing with live bait.<br /><br />Density<br /><br />Floating (F) lines<br />These do as they say--they float on the water's surface<br />Floating lines are good for beginners since they are easier to cast and handle<br />Floating lines also are a must for dry flies, but they can also work with wet flies, nymphs and streamers that are fished several feet below the surface<br /><br />Intermediate (I) lines<br />These are a little denser than water so they sink slowly to present a fly just below the water's surface<br />These lines work well in shallow, weedy lakes and in choppy waters where you want your line to stay below the choppiness<br /><br />Sinking (S) lines<br />These lines do the opposite of floating lines--they sink<br />They are designed for deep lakes and deep, fast-flowing rivers<br />Some manufacturers also put a Roman numeral after the S to show how fast their line sinks in inches per second. For example, an S II line sinks about two inches per second<br />These lines are best for wet flies, nymphs and streamers at a constant depth<br /><br />Floating/Sinking (F/S) lines<br />These combine the two characteristics--the five foot-- to twenty foot tip or front portion sinks to present the bait while the balance of line floats on the water<br />Manufacturers display the depth and speed that the front part of the line sinks<br />This floating/sinking line gets your fly down while helping you maintain control, so it's good for fish such as salmon.<br /><br />sourced from</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex 4castI am not going to be able to get February's 4cast up for awhile, maybe 3-4 days, maybe more maybe less.

Reports of keeper gags coming from southwest of Egmont Key in 80-feet of water for red grouper were noted, but gags were caught just north of the Ship’s Channel, north of Egmont as well in water half that depth. Water temperatures have been moderate with little extremes, holding in the low 60’s, and for grouper, that will help keep them from running to the deeper water to hang.<span class='fullpost'><br /><br />The bait situation has gotten more difficult for guys looking for some Spanish sardines, threadfin herring, or whitebait. Pinfish have been about the most consistently available live bait. Frozen cigar minnow, squid, octopus, threadfins, and sardines should be in the cooler for a day’s trip. A visit to the bait shop for a couple dozen live shrimp might also be part of your bait stop. Don’t limit yourself to just one or two choices. A stop in most any of the deeper channels on your way out should be part of your bait gathering time. A light spinning rod with 10-pound line and 30-pound leader with a chartreuse or white jig tied on for ladyfish will yield some fine grouper bait. Chunking ladyfish into bite size bits about 3-inches long and rigged on a circle hook bottom rig will do wonders to get grunts, triggerfish, snappers, and other small bottom dwellers chewing while big grouper appetites build. Give each stop at least 30-minutes to fire off before deciding to move. Wherever you are fishing, make sure you’ve got lines in the water between 9 and 11 a.m. and 2 and 4 p.m. for this weekend’s major and minor solunar periods.<br /><br />Capt. Bob Smith out of New Pass in Sarasota has been having a great time catching black sea bass on the shallow rocky bottom areas surrounding the artificial reefs off Sarasota. While he has to cull through dozens of short grouper and snapper, the mild, white fillets of the black sea bass he’s catching make the effort worthwhile for him. Smith can be reached through his website, for information.<br /><br />Grouper diggers should be aware of the month-long closure coming up beginning February 15 and be alert for possible changes in bag limits and closures. Stay tuned to Florida Sportsman Magazine Radio Live for the latest developments.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">INSHORE</span><br /><br />Trout anglers in the North Region of the state will see a month long closure beginning February 1. The imaginary line drawn at the Pinellas/ Pasco County line is the dividing line between the north and south. Fred Howard Park is the noted landmark for the line. Trout are a big staple for guides and anglers in that area, however, they will have to pursue other fish like sheepshead, mangrove snapper, flounder, and redfish during the closure. Cobia around the Anclote power plant can be an option on very cold days but are not consistent. Guides like Capt. William Toney, fishing out of MacRae’s of Homosassa, have had trouble finding fishable days, with high winds and cold weather being the problem. On the better days, Toney is finding a few reds near the mouth of the Chassahowitzka and Homosassa Rivers, plus some good sheepshead and trout action, but effort with the trout closure will be diverted to other species.<br /><br />To the south, captains Rick Grassett, Jack Ryan, and Jim Klopfer, fishing out of CB Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key near Sarasota are finding a mixed bag of fish in the bay. Grassett’s anglers caught trout, reds, bluefish, and ladyfish on fly rods while fishing Big Sarasota Pass and the western shoreline of lower Sarasota Bay. Jack Ryan’s anglers worked Mann’s Hardnose soft plastic baits on quarter-ounce jig heads and caught Spanish mackerel and bluefish in Big Pass, New Pass, and on the Sarasota Bay Middlegrounds. While fishing live shrimp, Ryan’s group also bagged redfish, sheepshead to 4-pounds, jacks, and some legal trout on the incoming tide. Jim Klopfer’s anglers scored pompano, bluefish, Spanish macks, and ladyfish off the south tip of Lido Park on Cotee Jigs. The north side of Siesta Key produced sheepshead to 4-pounds, mangrove snapper, gag and red grouper, and black sea bass on live shrimp. Another trip produced some jacks, black drum, reds, and sheepshead around docks and oyster beds near Phillippi Creek on freelined live shrimp.<br /><br />In Terra Ceia Bay, Paulette Barrett and Lynn Manzella with the Old Salt Fishing Foundation fished with me. We landed trout, flounder, redfish, and snook on CAL Jigs with Shad tails during the Old Salt Johnny Keller Tournament that benefited All Children’s Hospital.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex about tidesUnderstanding the tides helps you know when to fish. Just like people, fish have active periods and rest periods. Unlike people, fish's actives are determined by the tides. The tide tells the fish when to be on the move for food and when to rest. Because fish don't have eyelids, they cannot close their eyes to rest. Instead, most species remain inactive during certain tides.<span class='fullpost'><br /> Tides are up-and-down movements of the oceans caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth. As the tide rises and falls, water flows in and out of bays, feeding behavior in fish. Whereas tidal changes have little effect far offshore and are of no concern to anglers who venture there in boats, tides are of the utmost importance when fishing inshore waters.<br /> In most locations, the tide changes 4 times a day, resulting in 2 high tides and 2 low tides. Low tide occurs roughly 6 hours after high tide. At the end of each rising and falling tide, there is a period called 'slack tide', when there is little or no current, or movement of water, in or out of the bays, harbors, and estuaries. Slack tide usually lasts 2.75 to 3 hours, although it varies with location.<br /> Published tide tables, such as those found in local newspapers, are general approximations. A strong wind from offshore can create a high tide sooner than predicted. When the wind is blowing against the incoming tide, the opposite occurs.<br /> During slack tide, most saltwater predator fish that frequent inshore waters rest and do not seek food. Slack tide, therefore, is usually an unproductive time to fish inshore-which isn't to say that it's not worth a try. For example, anglers who like to be on the water at the very beginning of a tidal change often find themselves on the water during a slack tide. By presenting the proper bait, along with chumming or chunking, it is possible to provoke fish into feeding during a slack tide.<br /> A rising tide is referred to as a 'flood tide'; a falling tide is called an 'ebb tide'. The change in water level is determined by the phase of the moon and the relative positions of the Earth, the moon and the sun.<br /> Each month, the moon goes though 4 phases: new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter (aka: third quarter). The new moon and the full moon occur when the moon, sun, and Earth are in a nearly direct line with one another. This increases the overall gravitational pull on the Earth, which causes relatively high high tides and relatively low low tides. These extreme tides are called 'spring tides', which has nothing to do with the season.<br /> During the first quarter moon and the last quarter moon, the moon, sun, and Earth form the points of a triangle, with the Earth at the apex. This arrangement generates less gravitational pull on the earth, causing relatively low high tides and relatively high low tides. These more moderate tides are called 'neap tides'. Naturally, currents are stronger during spring tides than during neap tides.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Using the tide to Catch Fish</span><br />When the tide begins to ebb, the current forces baitfish into deeper water, concentrating them into smaller areas and making them easy prey for larger predator fish. The ebb tide thus trggers the predators' feeding instinct. Flood tides also trigger the feeding instinct and predator fish lie in wait for baitfish to flow into the mouths of inlets, bays, harbors, and estuaries or along the surf. Fishing action subsides during slack tides because baitfish disperse themselves, seeking shelter from predators. There are exceptions, but this is what happens with each ebb and flood tide for most areas on the East and West coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico.<br /> As a rule of thumb, the best fishing takes place 1.5 to 2 hours after the ebb and flood tides begin. Tide tables appear daily in many newspapers, my website :), and many tackle shops give them away. Read them for the approximate times, but remember that weather conditions can make the tides occur earlier or later than "scheduled," and not all fish feed during a rising or falling tide.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Started with fly fishing.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /.<br />.<br /><br /.<br /><br /.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex tips for Success<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5 Tips for Success</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">“5 Tips for Success” is an article on how to improve your technique and knowledge on saltwater fishing.<br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br />1. I hear too many people saying “Whenever you get a bite, automatically jerk it up, to get it hooked.” I can’t stress enough that is not true. When you get a bite, just wait ‘till you get some tension then jerk up. I say this because, the fish could be biting on the other side, where the hook isn’t, then all you’re doing is scaring your catch away. And if you get some tension and you miss it, don’t reel it in all the way, because the fish might still be interested in your bait. So this proves that fishing does take patience.<br /><br />2. Is Free lining good or is it bad? So many people have asked me that. And other people say what does “Free lining” even mean? Well free lining means to use no weight at all. I would suggest doing this if you are a wader or an inshore angler. I would say doing this because it presents the bait more naturally to the fish. Eg; When you cast, the bait doesn’t go strait down with a weight, rather is will float down with the current. And without the weight it will drift a long the current, where the fish are going. So why don’t you try free lining 1 time?<br /><br />3. Boats can create noises, spooking fish, where waves slap against the hull. People moving around in a boat can create pressure waves coming away from the boat, alerting fish to your presence. Being able to cast great distances can get your lure or bait away from the boat, giving you an advantage over a shorter cast when fishing out of a boat. For maximum casting distance, consider using one of the ultra thin braided lines such as Power Pro. This thin line has virtually no memory, is far thinner than its monofilament pound test equivalent, and casts creating very little friction going through the eyelets of your rod. All of these factors translate into longer casts. You may also consider using a longer rod, perhaps 7’6”, for extra distance. If you prefer mono, be sure the spool is filled to within 1/8” of the rim of the spool. For even longer casts, consider dropping down in size of your mono line because thinner line casts farther. That long cast just may help you with catching a fish.<br /><br />4. When you see seagulls hovering over the water, this means there are normally fish in that area. In order not to scare the fish, do not use your big motor when you get near the seagulls. Instead set up a drift or work your trolling motor as you get near or next to the seagulls in order not to scare the fish.<br /><br />5. Just have fun fishing. Fishing is not a ‘who can do it better’ game. Just go out there and enjoy the beautiful weather.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex fishing introHere is a fly fishing introduction. What I am talking about in this article will be the Pros. and Cons. of fly fishing. I hope you like it! Please click on the read more link...<span class="fullpost"><span class="'fullpost'"><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fly fishing, as a beginner.</span></span><br />Fly fishing has there up and down’s. And it does take time to master. As most angler’s would say, there is a lot more skill in it than just plain ‘ol fishing. The casting is different, the ‘bait’ is different, the line is different, and almost everything is different. Except for catching the big one. I would say fly fishing is more challenging, because of how you have to present the fly. I will go into the Pros. And Cons. And getting over the learning curve.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pros:</span><br />Some of the pros I would say are: more challenging, more exhilarating, don’t have to change the bait as much, and in my opinion more fun! Of course fly fishing takes an ‘acquired taste’, meaning you don’t just automatically like it. I though I was going to automatically love it, and my after my first lesson, I came out almost let down. But as I practiced more, and more, I got better, and better.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cons:</span><br />Fly fishing has as just as many cons, as it does pros. Some of which can include (but not limited to): takes long to master, more wrist strength, less amount of catches, takes more concentrating, costly. But as you get better you can get rid of some of these. These problems can and will always pop up on you, even when you’re a pro fly fishermen. Like I said, practice makes perfect.<br /><br />So in a nutshell, fly fishing can be fun, challenging, and problematic all at the same time. Once you try fly fishing, you will most likely be ‘hooked’ on it. There is no going back. If you are trying to save your money, then I wouldn’t start up fly fishing, as the equipment is expensive. I hope this introduction to fly fishing has given you somewhat of an experience of what fly fishing is like!</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex fishing! ;)I will be starting on a new section just about saltwater fly fishing. Some of the things will include; Tips, flies, casting, techniques and more. I just took fly fishing up 2 weeks ago and so I am still learning just like you. So what ever I learn I will post on here...<span class='fullpost'><br /><br />I might create another blog just on fly tying. As I also am going to take a class on fly tying. So this will be another reason for you to visit my blog! ;) Don't worry I will post that I updated a fly pattern whenever I learn one. I will post how-to pictures on this site. And I might also post youtube videos. Don't expect this blog to be up for about a month. As it will be 'under construction.'<br /><br />And If you have any questions/comments or suggestions please shoot me an email. I would love suggestions for topics either on saltwater fly fishing or just regular fishing. (Fishing4idiots) And I will probably post my first fly fishing post within a few days.

Well here is the last part of it. :)<br /><br /><b>Sight Fishing</b><br />When fishing the flats always make sure to look for tailing fish in shallow water. Most of the time you can spot these fish before you catch them.<br /><span class='fullpost'><br /><br /><b>Deep Sea fishing tip</b><br />Next time anybody goes out deep sea fishing do this it works. Take a coke can and cut a strip out about 1/2 in wide and 4 inches long pop a hole in it and have the deckhands slip it on your line and then tie your hook. You guessed it a spinner but when you are a few miles out this works. My dad and I were selling these on the boat for a 1.00 because nobody could figure out what they were.....lol. But we caught more fish than anyone so next time you go take this tip and bring the Icy Hot b/c you will need it that night.<br /><br /><b>bottom baits</b> <span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:-2;color:#ea8502;"></span><br /> bottom feeders can't resist these powersbaits sandworms, squid, sand eel, clams and other shellfish <br /><br /><b>Trolling tip</b> <br />When you locate a school of fish while trolling, slow down while you turn around and into the school. The fishing rods on the inside of the turn drop deeper into the water, while the rods on the outside of the turn rise. Basically, you end up covering more area and keeping your baits in front of the fish longer<br /><br />Well I hope you liked them and found them useful.. They are shot, sweet and to the point!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex LogKeeping a fishing log is like putting a giant jigsaw puzzle together. One piece of the puzzle doesn’t give much to go on. Fishing is not an exact science, but the more information you have at hand, based on past experience, the better equipped you are to consistently find fish that are feeding. Anglers can learn much from logging their catch data and other pertinent information about their fishing trips.<br /><span class='fullpost'> Useful information might include, but not be limited to barometric pressure-- steady, high-rising, low- falling, etc., tide levels in feet and tenths of feet, plus tide direction, i.e., incoming, changing, out-going, etc., moon phases, wind direction and velocity, cloud cover, i.e., overcast, cloudy, sunny, etc., fish caught and where, on what time of the tide, water temperature, water clarity, and more. Perhaps the best tool for maintaining your log is the use of the Florida Sportsman Fishing Planner. This has the tides and moon phases on the planner, and all you need to add are the other bits and pieces to the puzzle to help you sort out the big picture, and these puzzle parts could just help you catch more fish.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex SolsticeWinter strike zones shrink as water temperatures drop. The colder the water for most species, the smaller the strike zone, making it even more important for an “in your face” presentation. Baitfish continually swim, with brief periods of stopping. The problem with most baitfish imitations is that they only look natural when they’re moving. As soon as they’re stopped, they sink to the bottom and lay on their sides…not so with a shrimp.<span class='fullpost'> In nature, shrimp sit on the bottom, bury in the mud or grass, and basically do nothing. They’re not swimming most the time like most baitfish, but do drift with the current. Artificial shrimp, like those from DOA Lures can mimic this crustacean to the letter. This bait can stay in the strike zone as long as desired, giving fish an opportunity to eat it. Some new suspending baitfish imitations like the Rapala Twitchin’ Rap and the MirrOlure MirrOdine and MirrOminnow can be worked slowly enough and “hover” in the water column for a similar presentation, making them effective winter canal baits. Try one of these baits in the winter and you may find that you’ll catch more fish.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Part 5<span style="font-weight: bold;">Buying, Handling, and Sharpening Hooks</span><br />Hooks are sold in bulk packages of from 10 to a hundred hooks or more, or in packages of 4 to 6 snelled hooks. Leave the hooks in the package until you need them, to keep them safe and neat and to keep the points from becoming dull. Packages of snelled hooks fit nicely in a tackle box. Keep them there, and don't let them get in a tangled mess.<span class='fullpost'><br /> The quality of a fishhook can be determined by its finish. Inexpensive hooks have a 'blued' finish and are made from carbon steel. They are used primarily for freshwater fishing and should be avoided for use on saltwater. Saltwater fishing requires materials with greater resistance to corrosion, such as nickel- or bronze-plated alloys or stainless steel. These cost slightly more than carbon steel hooks, but not too much more. Even among the superior alloys, there are differences. Hooks made from drawn wire are less expensive but not as strong as forged hooks.<br /> Better hooks last longer and retain their sharp points longer than their less expensive counterparts. Some points are chemically sharpened; these cannot be mechanically sharpened when they get dull. Most hooks, however, can be sharpened by passing a sharpening stone or a hook hone along the sides of the barb and the point. This takes only a few seconds.<br /> To check a hook's sharpness, don't try to poke yourself, rather rest the point of the hook at a 45-degree angle against your thumbnail, facing away from the cuticle. While applying pressure, move the point forward. If it grabs hold of the tubumnail, it's sharp enough. If it doesn't grab, it need to be sharpened.<br /><br />I hope I have helped you understand hooks more now!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Part 4<span style="font-weight: bold;">Shank Characteristics</span><br />J hooks are manufactured with short or long shanks. Long-shank hooks are used for sharp-toothed fish, such as bluefish and mackerel, allowing the fish to bite the shank and not the leader. They are also used for fish that suck in their food, such as winter flounder. The long shank makes removing the hook easier.<br /><span class='fullpost'><br /> A long-shank hook provides room for the bait to be placed along the shank, which makes for better presentation of the bait and in most cases ensures that the bait will not fall off. A wo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=""><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 105px; height: 111px;" src="" alt="" border="0" /></a>rm or fish can be stretched out along the whole length of the shank, looking much more natural than if it were curled around the bend of the hook.<br /> Short-shank hooks are used with smaller pieces of cut bait or shrimp, because the hook can be more effectively hidden within the bait. Short-shank hooks take up little space in the tackle box and can be easily removed from smaller fish that do not inhale their food.<br /> Some J hooks have bait barbs on the shank, which prevent the lager pieces of bait from sliding into a ball at the bend of the hook. Where natural bait presentation is important, these barbs are most helpful.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Part 3<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=""><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 138px;" src="" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Sorry for the lateness for the post. Well here it is hope you enjoy!!<br /><br />If you're accustomed to J hooks, using circle hooks involves some adjustment. Instead of setting the hook by sharply pulling back on the rod, apply steady pressure on the line, bringing it in evenly and slowly. Avoid jerking the rod to prevent pulling the hook from the fish's mouth.<span class='fullpost'><br /> Packaged snelled hooks have monofilament or wire leader attached. The strength of the leader can range from 3o-to-80 pound test and above, and leader length varies considerably. The leader has a loop at the end opposite the hook, making tying on quick and easy. Snelled hooks are available in J and C hooks.<br /> Some anglers snell their own hooks, buying their hooks in bulk, and the leader material separately. Although snelling a hook takes a little longer, it's not difficult. (See under TOC 'Knots' for a website on how to tie a snell.)<br /> Most fishing lures have one or more sets of treble, or 3-pointed, hooks. These range in size from #6 through 8/0. Treble hooks are strong and can withstand abuse, but they require much care in hangling, especially when you attempt to remove the lure from a hooked fish.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=""><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /> Manufacturers put treble hooks on lures to improve the hook-up ratio, based on the logical theory that 3 points are than 1. But some anglers (like me) replace treble hooks with J hooks for safety and convenience. Switching them is simple because the hooks are held onto the lure with split rings, which can be pried open easily. Wheather you keep the treble hooks or replace them is a matter of personal preference.<br /><br />I bet you didn't think hooks could be this complicated, did ya?? I am hoping I am helping you understand hooks better. And I will have 2 more parts; Part 4 is on Shank Characteristics and part 5 is on Sharpening Hooks.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Now button.<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Remember me saying awhile back on my post <a href="">Little Changes,</a> about the Odiogo button?

See her for any help on web design or widgets. </span><br /></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Part 2<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hook Size</span><br />Fishhook size is designated numerically. Below a certain size, the lager the number, the small the hook. A number 10 hook, therefore, is smaller than a number 4 hook of the same style. Hooks larger than the number 1 use a different system, however. A <span class='fullpost'>number followed by a slash and a zero indicates a large hook, and the numbers increase with the hook size. Thus, a number 5/0 hook is lager than a 2/0 hook, which is larger than a number 10 hook.<br /> The thickness of the hook in any given size should also be considered. A thin hook will penetrate more easily than a thick hook. If you're having trouble setting the hook, chances are that the hook is too thick for the targeted species, so use a thinner hook of the same size.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hook Designs</span><br />There are 3 basic hook designs: conventional J hooks; circle, or C, hooks; and and treble hooks. J and C hooks are used primarily with bait; treble hooks are found on most saltwater plugs and lures. J and C hooks are available as snelled hooks of just regular 'ol hooks.<br /> J Hooks which range in size from a number 8 to a huge 8/0 for saltwater species, have been used with natural bait for hundreds of years. They work well for most species of fish and are preferred by recreational saltwater anglers. The J hook requires a solid pull of the rod to set it in a fish's mouth.<br /> Circle hooks, sometimes referred to as C hooks, are basically round, but the point is bent around 90 degrees from the shank. Unlike the situation with a J hook, a fish tends to lip-hook itself when it bites onto a circle hook and is much less likely to 'throw' the hook and escape. Circle hooks grab the corner of a fish's mouth and hold firmly until the fish is landed, and thus have an excellent hook-up ratio. This self-setting performance has made this the hook of choice for commercial longline fishermen for years. Circle hooks are becoming quite popular with saltwater hook-and-release anglers because they are easily removed with little if any injury to the fish. Circle hooks are not available in small sizes though. They start at number 4 and go up to 15/0 and even larger.<br /><br />To be continued..........................</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex part 1.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=""><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />When you're fishing on salt water, you never know what species of fish you may encounter. You might be fishing for Fluke and get a bluefish. If you have a decent assortment of hooks in your tackle box, it's a small mater to change your terminal rig to "accommodate" the bluefish.<br /> Hooks are chosen according to the size and species of fish targeted the type of bait used, and the method of fishing.<span class='fullpost'> There is no formula for selecting the right hook because there are many variables, including the size of the fish's mouth, its strength as a swimmer, its method of fighting, and the way it goes about grabbing bait. But as a rule of thumb, the larger the fish, the larger the hook. Most anglers do just fine with a few hooks of different sizes that are appropriate to the most common species of fish in the area where they're fishing. Don't be shy about asking at the tackle shop what kinds of hook work well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hook Selection<br /></span>Consider the size of the fish's mouth when selecting a hook. The fish has to be able to get the bait into its mouth, and the bait should be large enough to cover most of the hook. A hook that is too large means too much bait for the fish, or a lot of exposed metal that the fish may not like the looks of. On the other hand, small hooks don't hold big fish very well. Conversely, if the hook is too small, the fish may swallow it, making its removal almost impossible. <br /> The correct hook is the smallest one that is strong enough to land the desired fish. The smaller and lighter the hook, the less visible it will be to the fish and the more likely it will present the bait in a natural manner.<br /><br />Next Hook section, will be about Hook Size and I will also get into some of the Hook Designs. I plan to have 3 maybe 4 parts. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex Part 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=""><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How To Chum<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span>Chum pots are available in many sizes. Most have lead ends so the pot will sink quickly and large-mesh screened sides to allow the chum to pass through easily. After Chum is placed in the pot, strong but lightweight line is attached to the eyelet, the pot is lowered to the desired depth, and the line is secured to a cleat on the boat or a piling on a pier.<span class='fullpost'> Mesh bags are messier to use but work just as effectively. Some anglers place several sinkers in the bottom of the bag to keep it upright when it's hanging in the water column or resting on the bottom. To keep fish within a close radius of a boat, some anglers use 2 pots or bags-one at the stern and one at the bow.<br />Shake the chum pot at intervals, or bounce it on the bottom to loosen the contents and allow them to flow freely. Maintain a constant slick to keep the fish within hook distance. Once you've started chumming, don't slack off and allow the slick to disperse. If you're fishing with a buddy, share the work. Periodically, you'll have to refill the container.<br />With practice and experience, you'll know how much chum to use. Too little will not release enough scent while too much will essentially provide them with a meal and reduce their desire to take a hook or lure.<br /><br />Some anglers prefer to grind their own chum. This is a good way to reduce costs, and it's a good use of fish that you catch but don't intend to eat. Place scrap fish parts, small chunks of cut fish, squid, shucked clams or mussels-almost any form of sea life-and old dry pet food into a blender and mix until you achieve the desired consistency. To preserve domestic harmony, don't use the family blender; invest in one that you reserve only for chum.<br />After preparing the chum, place it in the plastic freezer bags and freeze it for later use. If you can't reserve a freezer exclusively for these packages, you may with to double- or even triple-bag them. When you're ready to use them, empty the frozen chunks directly into the chum pot. They'll disperse bits of chum as they thaw in the seawater. It's best to take the bags out of the freezer a few hours in advance to give them a chance to soften but not thaw entirely.<br /><br />This is the end of Chumming. I hope you found this informative. Thanks again for visiting. And please refer. Thanks and happy holidays!!!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex DepthControlled depth fishing with lures is a method of getting baits at the same level fish are holding. Because the water column can be a very broad range, fishing somewhere in between the top and bottom might require special equipment. Downriggers are the most precise tools to lower baits to a given level. Planers, depending on the size and line diameter used to pull them, will also take baits below the surface within a certain depth range for each size planer. Covering the water column with a variety of lures fished at different depths is a sure way to locate fish. It gives you the opportunity to present your lures to more fish. That will ultimately help you catch more fish.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src=''/></div>Alex | http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4624413231671477843/posts/default | 2009-07-14T14:25:33 | crawl-002 | crawl-002-017 | [] | 90 |
Many were the unsung virtues of this season’s criminally short-lived On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, but chief among them was the compelling characterization at the musical’s sweet center. Back in 1965, when Clear Day first appeared and first flopped on Broadway, that core was “Daisy,” a loopy woman with psychic powers, but in the recent revival, it became “Davey,” a gay man with an equally unconventional inner life. (This gender reassignment was director Michael Mayer’s stab at injecting drama into a notoriously flawed original script.)
This revision is an “unsung virtue” because, as a character, Davey represents a notable moment for Broadway storytelling. Clear Day’s creators have deemed his persona—weak-willed, insecure, gay—worthy of driving a musical, a pantheon usually reserved for more conventionally amenable or inoffensive types. This may seem a small distinction, but it actually means a great deal. Just as Death of a Salesman told us that the common man’s troubles were equal to the likes of Greek tragedians, so too does this Clear Day argue that Davey is every bit the viable Broadway hero as, say, Harold Hill.
Gay characters, of course, aren’t new, so what sets Davey apart is the way he successfully evades what I’d call the “triple threat” of typical gay stories: He’s not swathed in the protective dressing of camp, for one. Nor is he over-sexualized. And he’s not defined by some kind of horrific tragedy. Instead, Davey is just, well, a real person: flawed, funny, complicated, interesting and sympathetic.
Nobody gave these artistic choices much attention, and Broadway is a lesser place for that oversight. All one can do is to hope that this sort of unconventional, engaging storytelling doesn’t forever abandon Broadway for the smaller houses of downtown.

NEW ORLEANS -- Detectives with the NOPD and JPSO are trying to solve a series of similar crimes. Over the past few months, there have been at least 8 cases of someone stealing valuables from the beds of pickup trucks. The cases are the latest to roll on the Wheel of Justice.
In all of the cases, the thief was driving a silver, or perhaps another light color, minivan. The NOPD says at least six of the cases in Algiers are connected. The JPSO says a pair of similar cases are connected in Terrytown and Harvey. But so far, the two departments are not connected each other's cases.
New Orleans police first announced its investigation in early July, citing cases in the 600 block of Wagner Street and the 300 block of Hendee Street. Police also released security camera footage that shows someone drive up in a minivan, get out of the vehicle, and walk to the bed of a pickup. Police say the man broke into the toolboxes in the trucks' beds to steal valuables.

On July 26, the JPSO announced its investigation. Deputies say someone stole property from the beds of pickups in the 2100 block of North Lexington Avenue in Terrytown and the 2700 block of Sandero Del Este Drive in Harvey. They also released a pair of photographs taken from security camera footage.
If you can help solve this latest Wheel of Justice caper, call CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111. You don't have to reveal your name or testify in court, and you could earn a cash reward.
So far, more than 338 people have been booked after their cases rolled on the Wheel of Justice. | http://wgno.com/2017/07/26/series-of-similar-thefts-target-pickup-trucks-on-the-west-bank/ | 2018-01-16T11:31:53 | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | 1516084886416.17 | [] | 9 |
Season 2 – 50 – The Mystery Duelist, Part 1
(aka: Dueling Alone)
Challenge from the Past – The Terrifying Zera”
(過去からの挑戦 戦慄のゼラ)
Aired Japan: April 10, 2001
Aired USA: Nov 16, 2002
It’s a bright and sunny day in Domino City. Grandpa is outside sweeping up his shop when Téa stops on by to pick Yugi up for a soccer game. Yugi has just finished securing his Millenium Puzzle with a new chain, since there’s a lot of people who are after it. Yami agrees and states that they will need that puzzle more than ever because fate has something big in store for them. Yugi tells Yami that he will do everything he can to help him get his memories back. After the conversation, Yugi walks outside and meets up with Téa. Yugi tells Téa about his conversation with Yami, and then they both rush off for the game.
While walking towards the event, Téa asks Yugi who he thinks will win. Yugi doesn’t answer Téa’s question because he’s worried about the Yami’s future. Suddenly, Yugi passes by a mysterious fortune teller who offers to tell Yugi’s future. He only requires a personal item: the Millenium Puzzle. Yugi is interested in this but is hesitant of handing over the Millenium Puzzle to a stranger. However, because he really wants to know what is in store for Yami he hands over his puzzle to the fortune teller. The fortune teller snatches the puzzle and runs off with it. Knowing that he must get his puzzle back, Yugi angrily runs after the thief, while Téa tries to cut the thief off at the corner. Yugi spots several arrows pointing towards a direction and concludes that the thief is leading him somewhere.
Téa cannot find the fortune teller anywhere. She soon meets up with Bakura, who offers to help her find Yugi and the puzzle. Téa thanks Bakura for his help and runs off to find Joey and Tristan. However, Yami Bakura soon takes over and wants the puzzle for himself, so he uses his Millenium Ring to find the location of the puzzle. The ring leads Bakura to the alley where the fortune teller was at. Bakura walks down the alley and changes the direction of the arrows so that Téa and her friends cannot track Yugi down.
The last arrow leads Yugi to a deserted warehouse. Yugi walks inside and finds his Millenium Puzzle bolted to a wall. The thief greets Yugi and challenges Yugi to a duel. The winner gets to keep the Millenium Puzzle. Yugi does not want to duel because it’s already his puzzle, but the thief leaves him with no choice, so Yugi accepts. Because the Millenium Puzzle is not hanging around Yugi’s neck, it’s hard for Yugi and Yami to connect. Therefore, Yugi will have to duel alone without Yami’s help. Yugi is worried because he has never fought a duel without Yami’s help, but Yami tells Yugi to trust in himself and his deck. Yami senses a great evil in the thief, so he warns Yugi to be careful.
Both Yugi and the thief walk into the dueling arena. Both players receive 2000 life points, and the duel begins. Yugi draws a card, and then summons Celtic Guardian in attack mode. The thief summons a monster in defense mode and then ends his turn. Yugi’s turn comes once again, and he has Celtic Guardian attack the thief’s monster. The monster happens to be Cyber Jar and it destroys every monster on the field! Both players then draw 5 new cards. From those 5 cards, Yugi summons a monster in defense, and the thief summons Mechanical Chaser and Bugroth in attack mode. Yugi recognizes the thief’s monster as being machine-type monsters. The only person with machines is Bandit Keith. Yugi is right! The thief takes off his disguise and reveals himself as Bandit Keith. However, Bandit Keith explains that he isn’t really Bandit Keith. There’s an outsider that’s controlling him and using him as his slave. The outsider explains how Bandit Keith fought for his life when he was ejected from Duelist Kingdom. The outsider and his servants found him and decided to use him as a slave. Ultimately, that led him right to Yugi.
The duel continues, and Bandit Keith summons Machine King in attack mode. Due to Machine King’s special ability of gaining 100 points for every machine that’s on the field, it’s total attack strength becomes 2500. Machine King attacks and destroys Yugi’s defense. Yugi then draws a card and plays another monster in defense. It’s Bandit Keith’s turn, and he summons Megasonic Eye in attack mode. Because the monster is a machine, Machine King gains another 100 points. Machine King destroys Yugi’s defense again. Yugi wonders how he is going to defeat Bandit Keith’s monsters without the help from Yami.
Meanwhile, Téa has made it to school and has told Joey and Tristan about the situation. Joey and Tristan both agree to help. Their coach, however, stops them because they agreed to help out with the soccer game. Tristan makes up a lie about how they have to help save Téa’s sick cat. The coach believes them and lets them go.
It’s Yugi’s turn now. He summons Curse of Dragon and Gaia the Fierce Knight. He then uses Polymerization to fuse the two monsters together to summon Gaia the Dragon Champion. With 2600 attack points, Yugi’s monster wipes out Machine Chaser. Bandit Keith’s Machine King loses 100 points and Bandit Keith himself loses 750 life points, bringing his score down to 1250. Bandit Keith’s turn starts, and he firstly switches his monsters into defense. Then he plays the magic card Machine Conversion Factory to raise all of his monsters by 300 points. With Machine King’s score now at 2800, it has enough points to take Yugi’s monster down. Machine King destroys Gaia the Dragon Champion, lowering Yugi’s life points to 1800.
Yugi draws Summoned Skull and gets an idea. First he plays a magic card known as Makiu the Magical Mist. This card rusts Bandit Keith’s machine monsters and lowers their attack points by 300. Then Yugi plays Summoned Skull, whose attack strength is raised to 3250 (probably by the effect of Makiu). Summoned Skull destroys Machine King, and Bandit Keith’s life points drop to 500. The outsider who is controlling Bandit Keith admits that Yugi duels well without Yami’s help. However, he has a few twists that may turn the duel into his favor.
Téa has led Joey and Tristan to the alley where Yugi’s puzzle was stolen. Joey notices an arrow and wonders if Yugi placed them there, but Téa says that Yugi wouldn’t have had the time. Tristan looks ahead and notices that the arrows are in different directions. Some point up, down, left and right, so now it will be even harder to find Yugi. Back at the duel, Bandit Keith plays Graceful Charity, allowing him to draw 3 new cards. Before Bandit Keith draws his cards, he pulls a card from his sleeve and secretly places it on top of his deck. Then he draws his cards. He plays Zera Ritual. Yugi tells Bandit Keith that he also needs the correct monster in his hand in order to use the ritual card. Bandit Keith holds up the monster, which surprises Yugi. The two remaining machine monsters are sacrificed, and Bandit Keith’s ultimate monster is played: Zera the Mant. With 2800 attack points, Zera attacks and destroys Summoned Skull.
Meanwhile, Bakura’s Millenium Ring has led him to the warehouse. Bakura senses evil from the Shadow Realm and says that stealing the puzzle will be more interesting than he thought. Téa, Joey and Tristan are trying to find Yugi, but they aren’t having much luck. The mysterious outsider thinks Yugi is done for and will fall to his monsters. Soon the Millenium Puzzle will be his.

Arrow Strategies is a frontrunner in IT, Engineering, Healthcare and Professional placement services. In response to the global pandemic, Arrow Strategies expanded its service offerings in April of 2020 when it partnered with a large municipality to provide temperature screening and risk mitigation education to the city’s homeless population.

“I am so proud of our team’s ability to deliver great talent and to execute week over week, around the clock to fill critical needs,” stated Tom Picot, Senior Vice President of Arrow Strategies. “Having the opportunity to work together and partner with the great leadership of the municipality and to serve our community most vulnerable residents to help control the spread of COVID has been extremely rewarding.”
“Expanding our services to include contact tracing was a natural evolution,” according to Cheryl Crockett, Director of Community Health and Project Placement Services. “Our community healthcare nurses, social workers, and staff are some of the most dedicated problem-solvers we could ask for.

The Bass Has Landed
Much like an estranged lover, you may have forgotten about festival season, let it drift away into the furthest corners of your subconscious, only to resurface on rainy days. But festival season is right around the corner, and here at SpinTalk we remember it with all the terrifying intensity of being chased by a pack feral mongooses across the Iberian Peninsula. With that chilling thought, let’s reminisce and take a look back at Moonrise 2016.
There’s really no need to go over a play-by-play of Moonrise. If you missed it, you missed out. And that’s exactly why we write these articles- so you can feel guilty about not going and rethink your life choices. That being said, I wanted to hit on some of the highs and the lows and wrap up with some deeply cathartic and heartfelt impressions about the festival as a whole.
Let’s start with the highs:
The music of course was great. There were almost too many stages to go to in such a short time. The line-up was solid and, I spent a lot of time just wandering aimlessly from stage to stage looking for something good to hoop to. One thing that really struck me while I was there was how incredibly friendly and welcoming people were. Back in Michigan, several EDC festivals in my area (and one in particular which shall remain unnamed) have gained a reputation for theft and violence. I was a little gun shy going in, but it didn’t last long. I got compliments on everything from my shoes and my sunglasses, to my hoops and my flow. There was no shortage of friendly strangers who were willing to introduce themselves and exchange a hug or a high five. Arguably, one of my favorite comments came from a guy who told me I should fill all five of my hoops with tequila and have a party. I think he may’ve unknowingly invented a new sport for festival season.
Among some of the very cool strangers I met were Nadine and Jenna. Nadine was brave enough to do some partner hooping with me
@circushabits and I working on some sweet partner moves at @moonrisefest (sort of...I think my end is a little crooked 😜) #moonrisefestival2016 #music #flowarts #hoopersofinstagram #summerfun
A photo posted by Michael Krueger (@cheap_trickz) on
and Jenna gave me this amazing hoop love kandi even though I had none to give back.
I think this was the thing I loved most about flow arts at this event. It gave me a great way to connect with other people. For those of us who were already spinners, we got to meet up and jam, and for everybody else it was a great way to break the ice and cover up the fact that I totally can’t dance…at all. I cannot stress this enough. I have no rhythm, no beat, no style, and no swagger. Hooping saved my life at Moonrise and made me look like a passable dancer.
Now on to the lows:
Let’s start with the cell network. To say it was bad would be the understatement of the century. There were so many people on the networks that phone calls were like using ham radio during a solar flare, and social media was the equivalent to chiseling things on stone tablets and waving them across the field to your friends. I sent a text message while I was there and it didn’t arrive for almost thirty minutes…it was bad. The few times we did manage to get service, the calls were distorted and not unlike the sound effects from a 1960’s scifi movie (the scene where the aliens are sitting at an absurdly large control panel and aimlessly pushing buttons in an almost comical fashion). It was a miracle that any of us ever found each other.
Another frustration was the cost of water—almost 4 dollars a bottle! I wound up biting the bullet because I was desperate, only to realize later that free water was everywhere. There fill stations for your own water bottles were in the back, and almost every stage had security guards giving out free bottled water. Lesson learned.
Last but not least was the Lyft tent. Now I want be up front that I have nothing against Lyft personally or professionally. I have actually used them on several occasions. That being said, the Lyft tent had some issues, that hopefully (with a little bit of constructive criticism) will resolve themselves next year. The Lyft tent was the only place to charge your phone. With the cell network jammed as it was, battery life was short lived. Foreseeing this need, the Lyft tent provided a place to power up drained cell phones. In concept this was a great idea, but the execution had a few hiccups. First and foremost, you had to have the Lyft app on your phone to use the station.
“Sure I’ll download it, no big deal.”
—Except, as discussed earlier, there was almost no possibility of phone data. This led to the arduous task of begging and bartering with the Lyft tent staff, insisting that you did, in fact, have the app downloading, it just wasn’t finished yet. After promising them my first-born child, I got in line and waited my turn. While the first few times went fairly smoothly, the order of the lines often got confused. People just arriving to the station got priority over all of us who had been waiting for the last half hour. On top of this, phones often got unplugged before they were finished charging, meaning that your battery life was exactly where you had left it before getting into the tent, but now with the added benefit of losing valuable festival time. Finally, one of us had our phone taken from the station. Luckily it turned up at lost and found, but the frustration of having to go through this process was too real. Overall, I think the Lyft tent could have benefited from closer monitoring and a higher staffing ratio.
Some closing thoughts:
After putting in a hard day of jamming and dancing, the three of us (Reese, Julia, and myself) took a deep and introspective look at our day. While we all had a good time, one thing we universally agreed upon was that, from a flow perspective, there wasn’t much added benefit to coming back the second day. If you were there solely for the music, then this event was exactly what you were looking for, but for flow kids, it meant a lot of the same: walking from stage to stage, sweating buckets of water, and doing tricks for friendly strangers. We decided to call one day enough and went home to cool our heels and give our props a much needed break.

Janelle Monáe: The ArchAndroid ArchAndroid by Janelle Monae.
Janelle Monae participates in a powerful trend: women making weirdness sexy. Nicki Minaj, Monae, and yes, Lady Gaga—all move their heads like robots, wear [super]weird shit, and generally operate outside the couple of standard deviations we chalk off as ‘normal behavior.’ I like Monae’s aesthetic. Clips of her live performances blow me away. So it was a disappointment that her new disc didn’t move me. The album felt more like an impressive exercise—featuring the range of ways in which she could use her voice, a wide array production styles, and varied sound palates. I suspect I’m in the minority in this position, and I hope so. I’d like to see Monae become even more successful, even if her latest work didn’t strike a chord with me. As her album garners its first reviews, I’ll be practicing the robot-head-thing in the bathroom mirror, trying to figure out how they do it in the major leagues.
Based off of my own identity and experiences, I am most attracted to art that pushes boundaries and/or is at least honest to the creator in the current climate, trend and environment of the world. As I listened to Janelle Monae’s latest album, I felt as though she was narrating scenes based around a Cinderella-like ballroom. Big band sounds with funky, hip hop dance numbers twisted with little psychedelic and symphonic turns weaved gracefully throughout the disc. To put it bluntly, I enjoyed this album. Every song told a story that introduced the next creating a nicely focused piece. Although a bit long, I felt ArchAndroid stayed fresh from track to track mainly due to Monae’s vocal abilities, themes, and instrumental choices.
92/100
It may seem counterintuitive, but the catchiest, most engaging pop music is usually the weirdest. Think of “OK Computer,” “Mama’s Gun” or any of OutKast’s albums; “pop” might not be the first genre label that comes to mind for this music, but it’s hard to deny that these albums succeeded in the mainstream not despite their willingness to color outside the lines, but because of it. And while it may be high praise, Janelle Monae is an artist in this mold.
The OutKast comparison is particularly apt—not just because Big Boi appears on the album and helped give Monae a foothold in the industry, but because both acts are able to combine an outer-space funk aesthetic, pure technical talent and wild ambition into final products that are undoubtedly impressive, but also approachable, catchy and fun. “The ArchAndroid” is equal parts Dungeon Family funk, Disney movie soundtrack and… I don’t know… Prince-in-an-opera-about-robots? It’s a beautiful train-wreck of styles and sounds, and Monae herself comes across not unlike her character in the concept album: engineered to be perfect, but with a fierce rebel streak.
“Tightrope” is easily the strongest single track, but the album as a whole—even the interludes—is breathtaking in both its overall quality and its ambition. The pop music world has no shortage of good singers, good producers and good songwriters, but ambition and vision are very rare things. And those qualities make “The ArchAndroid” the first “must-listen” album of the year.
Jon Behm (Reviler)
96/100
In my humble opinion, Janelle Monáe’s The ArchAndroid is without a doubt the most fully realized musical masterpiece that we have seen this year, and possibly even this decade. I have no reservations when I say that the young artist’s debut full length knocked me off my feet and I have yet to fully regain my balance. The ArchAndroid isn’t just any old R&B album – it’s a concept project, a science fiction opera that incorporates funk, rap, soul, and psychedelic rock to paint the vivid and frightening world of post-apocalyptic Metropolis. From the orchestral overture to the noirish styling of record closer “BabopbyeYa,” ArchAndroid delivers a never ending spin of creative flourishes, left hand turns (English folk? Classical music?) as well as a wealth of untamable pop hooks. While standout tracks “Tightrope” and “Cold War” are (deservedly) being praised as the record’s first singles, I would venture that the bizarre psychedelic R&B of “Mushrooms and Roses” make it the record’s best track. But really pretty much every song on this album could be a single in one of several different genres, which more than anything is a testament to the fact that this is as close to a perfect pop album that we have seen in a great while. Our parents’ generation may have had Pet Sounds and What’s Going On, but with a monument like The ArchAndroid to claim as our own, I think that our generation is doing just fine.
Janelle Monae: Buy__________Myspace__________Site
Interesting article about her in the atlantic.
Haha – my favorite quote:”George Clinton has to smoke crack to perform this powerfully” 🙂
great album.
maybe a few songs too long, but oh well.
interesting that you love ‘Mushrooms & Roses’ so much Jon. unfortunately for me, while that song is interesting, i can’t get over the underwater/weird vocal effect & production to fully embrace that one.
‘Locked Inside’ is my favorite song by far
Because I wanted to keep it short and I really did love the album, I didn’t mention some of the things I didn’t like. I agree that it might be 2-4 songs too long, and though everything is good, everything might not be absolutely necessary. I love the original plan for 4 EPs (this album is #2 and #3 mashed together); I think that would have worked a little better. Partly because the album IS so good, it can be a little exhausting.
I also didn’t love all the lyrics– some of them feel like first-drafts, but that’s par for the course for most songwriters these days. But they’re good enough, just not mind-blowing. She also say “schizo” a couple of different times which is just kind of juvenile, I think.
But VERY high hopes for the final chapter of this quadrilogy.
Really solace? I love Mushrooms and Roses weird vocal effects and that guitar is some pure Jimi Hendrix shit. An the strings too? Love it
different strokes as they say…
wish i did, but the effects grate on me to the point of almost getting a headache
Wowzer Jon, maybe I need to listen a few more times. First few run throughs, I thought she was aiiight …….
And I shall listen more, I do love her Andre 3000 imitations.
Haha – well it’s my turn to pull the metacritic card – ArchAndroid is currently tied for the top ranked album of the year over there.
I realize everyone doesn’t feel the same as I do but for me after only three or four listens I was already pretty sure that this might become one of my all time favorite records. I didn’t even mind the length
as much as i do like the record, it’s just not a style of music that i love unfortunately, therefore i doubt i’ll listen to a ton after this summer really.
but there’s often cases where i appreciate an album more than I actually outright enjoy it personally, so it’s nothing new.
i’m not surprised one bit at all the love she’s getting.
critics loved Macy Gray too.
Does this mean that Janelle Monae is going to be in the next Spider Man movie?
Dessa’s review was just catty and didn’t give insight to anything other than the fact that she should hang onto her ego.

What a week it’s been at the Albion!
I know we constantly hark back to our struggle over the last twenty five years or so, and it bores the pants off people, but I still never thought I’d be writing about a team who competed decently against Atletico Madrid and then broke their own transfer record twice, all in six days.
We now have a Propper midfield and more left wingers than Momentum (sorry) and the feeling is, with a bid reportedly rejected for striker Dwamena we’re not done yet. Lua Lua is on his way (to QPR again, reportedly) and the thoughts of those Albion fans who wanted to see more business in July that we were unprepared must be rapidly dissipating. We may not be prepared for Saturday though, because we’re playing Manchester ****ing City and I don’t think anyone’s prepared for them at the moment.
Never mind our own miracle come back. It’s not THAT long ago that City were playing in League One, if only for a season. For much of the nineties it wasn’t a name that struck automatic fear in to one’s heart. And, even later than that, we managed to turn them over at Withdean in the League Cup, a feat celebrated by a pitch invasion led by a bloke in a wheelchair.
But now? Honestly, I can’t even begin to predict who’ll line up against us, such is the embarrassment of riches at their disposal. I think I’m right in saying that their new defence has cost more than it cost to build the Amex. It might even just be their new full backs. And they, in turn, might actually be wing backs.
City, you see, come in to this following a win over Spurs in a friendly competition abroad that was described by Pep Guardiola as better than any of their league performances last season. They used three at the back and we may well see the same again at the Amex. Kyle Walker as a right wing back will certainly be handful for Suttner or Bong at left back (with 45 mins each last week it’s hard to call) but will it leave space for a midfield that looks very attack minded to hit City on the counter?
Up front it’s hard to call too. Who will lead the line? Aguero? Jesus? Will it be two up top? Will we get a kick?
Up until last week I would have said this was certain heavy defeat, but then I’m not Chris Hughton, thank Christ, and I’m not our players. He and they played Atleti without fear and, in the case of Knockaert and March, with massive grins on their faces as they twisted, turned and roasted supposedly world class players. If we have a chance at all tomorrow, it’s that the new City players are still bedding in, that the Amex will be a completely new environment to them (sadly, in a way, not in a, dare I say, Selhurst Park, falling down shitty stands and cramped dressing rooms kind of way, we are NOT the proverbial Barnsley on a Tuesday night in February) and that we seem to have retained that team spirit and togetherness from last season and added quality, strength and pace.
We’ll need Matt Ryan to have a bit more skill and luck this time out, for he’ll have even more touches than last week and we can’t afford another howler, but if he sticks to the reflex saves, if Duffy and Dunk are at the top of their game and if the attackers are on point, there is the faintest glimmer of hope. Expect us to be dangerous on the break and from set pieces, where I think we can cause real problems at this level.
Our team? The jury is out on how defensive our wide players will be. This could see shock call ups for either Murphy or even Skalak, but last week pointed instead to Brown getting through a lot of work on the left. If AK is fit you’ve got to unleash him, the man will be fired up beyond belief and he knows no fear at all. Assuming he is then I can see
Ryan
Bruno Duffy Dunk Suttner
Knockaert Propper Stephens Brown
Gross
Murray
While that may not be stellar it’s more than competitive in our “half” of the league.
Me? I’ll be there screaming my lungs out with The Boy and a small tear may be shed just before kick off. I’m hoping for another Withdean. Hold back your wheelchairs. | https://brightononlyathome.wordpress.com/category/previews/ | 2018-10-15T13:49:27 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509196.33 | [] | 30 |

Abstract
The demands on Hydrogen fuel based technologies is ever increasing for substitution or replacing fossil fuel due to superior energy sustainability, national security and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the polymer based proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), is strongly considered for on-board hydrogen storage vehicles due to low temperature operation, efficiency and low environmental impact. However, the realization of PEMFC vehicles must overcome the portable hydrogen storage barrier. DOE and FreedomCAR technical hydrogen storage targets for the case of solid state hydrides are: (1) volumetric hydrogen density > 0.045 kgH2/L, (2) gravimetric hydrogen density > 6.0 wt%, (3) operating temperature < 150 degrees C, (4) lifetimes of 1000 cycles, and (5) a fast rate of H2 absorption and desorption. To meet these targets, we have focused on lithium borohydride systems; an alkali metal complex hydride with a high theoretical hydrogen capacity of 18 wt.%.
It has been shown by Vajo et al. that adding MgH2, improves the cycling capacity of LiBH4. The pressure-composition-isotherms of the destabilized LiBH4 + MgH2 system show an extended plateau pressure around 4-5 bars at 350 degrees C with a good cyclic stability. The mentioned destabilizing mechanism was successfully utilized to synthesize the complex hydride mixture LiBH4 + 1/2MgH2 + Xmol% ZnCl2 catalyst (X=2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) by ball milling process. The added ZnCl2 exhibited some mild catalytic activity which resulted in a decomposition temperature reduction to 270 degrees C. X-ray powder diffraction profiles exhibit LiCl peaks whose intensity increases proportionately with increasing ZnCl2 indicating an interaction between catalyst and hydride system, possibly affecting the total weight percent of desorbed hydrogen.
Thermal gravimetric analysis profiles for MgH2 + 5mol% nanoNi and LiBH4 + ZnCl2 + 3mol% nanoNi indicate that small concentrations of nano-nickel acts as an effective catalyst that reduces the mixture desorption temperature to around 225 degrees C and 88 degrees C, respectively. Future work will be focused on thermodynamic equilibrium studies (PCT) on the destabilized complex hydrides.

why can i only purchase pre-order?
In an attempt to make shopping for special occasion clothing more convenient to you, I decided to create this website. However, it would be impossible for me and my team to upload everything that we carry. We're a small business that carry a huge inventory - from babies to teens, from shoes to hair accessories, plus ladieswear, we have a great selection of everything you need for a special occasion.
So, if you see something that you like and need it ASAP, get in contact with us and I'll be able to tell you right away if we have it in stock or if it's available from any of our vendors. Then, you can place the order online or visit us to finish the purchase in store, however you prefer. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about our pre-order process: [email protected].
Thank you,
Carmen
