OSHA Compliance. If the contractor isn't compliant, YOU might be held responsible for liability to injuries to cleaning workers or tenants.
Performance Guarantees. While "guaranteed clean" might seem a hard-to-define concept, a real professional can provide you with a guarantee of performing specific functions to a specific level. That shows their confidence in meeting your expectations.
Realistic Cleaning Specifications. You and your contractor should mutually agree on what "quality" means, and what it will cost. If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Crew Selection. How are they trained? How are they supervised? You'll have to depend on your contractor to screen and hire good people, train them, and provide supervision and direction. Ask for background information on who will be supervising in your building.
Uniformed Employees. Cleaning crews will access every part of your building, often when no one else is around. Having uniforms will help assure your tenants and provide better security.
Keeping Good Employees. A dependable contractor will have training and motivational programs to retain trained people...so your building won't suffer from continual "new training problems."
Good Communication. The contractor will need to communicate with you, and perhaps with all your tenants. Make sure it is someone you CAN talk to and build understanding and trust. If you want the best quality, get involved and provide feedback to a contractor.
Respecting the Environment. Today's business world demands an account of how wastes are disposed or recycled. Your cleaning contractor should be able to help with both. | 2019-04-24T14:23:11Z | null | 533.1 | 1,643 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Preview works in the exhibition.
Friendship, love, desire: Keith Smith’s life is an open book. For five decades, the Rochester-based artist has used surprising combinations of materials to chronicle his experiences. In this exhibition, explore an array of Smith’s mixed-media photographs and prints, and—his specialty—handmade artist’s books, most from his own collection.
In his work, Keith Smith irreverently disregards the supposed dividing lines between “fine art” (photography, etching, watercolor), “craft” (sewing, quilting, bookmaking), and “utilitarian technologies” (transparencies, photocopies). Although his subject matter is rooted in his personal life, he also grapples with universal themes such as self-representation, domesticity, and intimacy.
Smith frequently remarks that he is shy in life but not in his pictures. While he is a prolific artist who has enjoyed a successful teaching career and numerous exhibitions, he makes no secret about his reclusiveness. For him, “home” includes not only the physical confines of his house, but also his meditative introspection, his close-knit circle of friends and family, and his perpetual striving toward feeling “at home” in his own skin.
Keith Smith (American, born Indiana, 1938) has made over 300 artist’s books and has written over half a dozen seminal instructional manuals on bookbinding. His work is represented in leading public and private collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He has received two Guggenheim Fellowships (1972 and 1980) and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (1978). Smith has taught at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, where he currently resides.
Support for this exhibition was provided by The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation. | 2019-04-18T16:03:06Z | null | 136.6 | 1,974 | null | 0.229483 | [

Build a mineral oil computer aquarium. It cools the system while giving you something to look at.
The setup is quite simple -- with a few cuts to the top brackets on the aquarium, and an acrylic panel cut to provide a flat base for the motherboard to rest on, there isn't much else that had to be done in terms of assembly. If we had to do it again, we'd find a better solution for the power supply -- it is a bit clunky down in the bottom of the case. If you're adventurous, you could always remove the housing from the power supply. There is a real risk of shock if you don't handle it properly, but without the housing, the power supply would look much more at home in a system like this. We also didn't intend to run the system with fans, but once we saw them spinning slowly in the oil, we just couldn't resist keeping them! With the oil, they made no noise at all. In our follow up in a few months, we'll let you know if the slow spinning eventually burns out the fans.
Thats a great idea! I forgot about mineral oil being non conductive... haha, you guys rock!
no, the reason why most liquids will ruin a computer is because they are highly conductive (meaning they will channel electricity) leading to shorts and the like. mineral oil is non conductive, so no electricity will pass through it. however, i doubt that if you try to pull your parts out, you'd be able to use it for any other computer.
So if i bought a cheal new set up and tried it out it wouldnt mess it all up ?
it's worth it, if only to build a cool server for music / netflix.
yeah, you better be happy with the way your hardware setup is, because its fixed the way it is from then on. It might be possible to use something like kerosene or another "dry" solvent to remove the oil, but of course that would take some research... to quote plucky duck "this is a job for...someone else!"
can mineral oil sustain aquatic life? I've done a little research and found that it can be used as a pesticide so I would guess this isn't possible, plus the fish food could cause some trouble.
Allistaire - you should'd really not let the oil be exposed to the air. If you make sure the oil doesn't get contaminated, you won't have to ever clean it out.
would this work with any setup?
He should have left the fans off. They're going to burn out. Don't need ém anymore either. Probobly runs perfectly silent.
Im curious to know if its necessary to even have fans on there. That PSU fan looked like it was trying really hard just to turn. I wonder if a plain heat sink would suffice.
Anyhow Ive never actually seen a mineral oil cooled computer, I gotta say its really tempting to make one. Do you suppose the mineral water gets dirty after a while?
I have seen this done, but in a cheapo fish tank, the guy said it worked great. I am also concerned about the fans, they will burn out, and if they do and left in there who knows what else they could damage. what about a submersible pump that just moves the liquid around. Is mineral oil flammable?
it can burn at 170c, which your system will melt way before that happens.
I also do not think air bubbles would be wise, it would make your system run hotter because of all the tiny bubbles that would then cling to the metal parts. | 2019-04-25T15:03:29Z | null | 375.6 | 3,241 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

I want to make this website a journal of my personal and professional journey.
I always kept maryamnasim.com, a portfolio website but now I want to convert it in a combination of a blog and a portfolio.
I am a 2D animator and illustrator and my work is inclined towards the audience of children and women. I love making cute things. I am a proud wife of a thorough gentleman and also a mom. I love to cook, make 2D animations, make illustrations for web and children’s books and recently developed a passion for blogging in Urdu. My blogs have been published on dawnnews.tv and humsub.com.pk .
I’ve had an interest in art and design since I was a kid, and it grew stronger with time. I got a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from Punjab University. At that time I participated in many art exhibitions and competitions.
I majored in painting but later developed an interest in the field of computer graphics. At that time online tutorials to learn software were not available like they are these days, so I went through a lot of tutorial books and learned to work in several computer graphic software programs.
I started working for a local greeting card company as an illustrator while I was still studying, and this beginning paved my way to enter the international market. I kept on learning and working till I got my first break to work as a greeting card artist for an American greeting card company, Birthdayalarm, and this opportunity began a whole new chapter in my life. Now I have been a freelancer for more than 16 years as I started working as a student and I now work with various international clients. One of my animations, ‘Long tall Cajun’ was video of the day on the website of Sports Illustrated and was also linked on CNN’s website.
I was one of the first case studies of Google Pakistan and through that platform, I got a chance to share the story of my struggle, hard work, passion and dedication with women in my country. I have given talks and have been a part of panel discussions in LUMS, Kinnaird College, Lahore College Women University, Comsats Lahore, UET Lahore and FAST Lahore.

Law enforcement officers from several states are heading to North Dakota to help authorities deal with the protest over the Dakota Access pipeline.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said at a news conference Monday that authorities put out a call for extra officers earlier this month.
Kirchmeier says departments from Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, Indiana and Nebraska are sending officers.
The protesters, many of whom are Native Americans, have been demonstrating against the four-state pipeline for months. A group over the weekend set up tents and teepees on private property owned by the pipeline development. A sheriff's office spokeswoman said earlier Monday that Morton County doesn't currently have the manpower to remove them.
More than 260 people have been arrested since demonstrations began in August. Nearly half of those were arrested over the weekend during a large protest at a pipeline construction site.
Authorities say they won't immediately remove the Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters who set up a camp on private land along the pipeline route in North Dakota.
Morton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Donnell Preskey says authorities "don't have the manpower" currently to remove the more than 100 protesters who are trespassing.
The protesters said in a statement Sunday night that the land is theirs, according to an 1851 treaty. The camp of tents and teepees is in an area near where the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says it has found several sites of "significant cultural and historic value" and where protesters and private security clashed in September. It's near a larger camp that's been in place for months.
The company building the pipeline, Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, bought the land last month for an undisclosed price. | 2019-04-18T12:35:36Z | null | 391.3 | 1,789 | null | 0.145892 | [

How Much Is It Costing You to Stay on Paper?
The most expensive process is a paper one. Filing, managing, duplicating and storing data on paper is expensive. A 5-drawer filing cabinet takes approximately $24,000 to fill and $2,000 per year to manage*. File rooms take up valuable office space, and copier contracts consume budget dollars that most businesses consider the “cost of doing business”. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
It’s easier than ever these days to ditch the expensive paper habit and start saving with a paperless implementation. But how do you get from here to there, and who is going to help keep you out of the weeds, as they say?
The PIMSY Team has experience guiding organizations like yours through the process of digitizing, and reducing reliance on, paper documents. Change can be hard – even when planned well. Most organizations don’t have the manpower or experience to manage and organize company-scale software implementations. This is where our experience goes to work for you, showing the way to implement your vision for a paperless company across every department.
It is crucial to the success of any paperless initiative to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire organization and how the various pieces interact. Clinical, remote, billing, HR, and support staffs all have different core functions with varying processes and needs. We work together with you and your key employees to understand the flow and function of your business, and then shape a solution that fits your needs.

Kjerag, together with Preikestolen, is one of the most famous attractions around Stavanger (and in Norway for that matter). The mountain cliff reaches 1100m above sea level and is known by a characteristic rock stuck between two cliff sides – a remarkable postcard picture if you only dare to step on top of it!
The mountain serves also as a take-off point for many basejumpers and parachuters, who have their centre in a village at the end of the fjord – Lysebotn. The village has two water power stations built inside the surrounding mountains. They use water falling from 800 meter-cliffs to produce electricity for more than 100,000 people.
Kjerag is a destination a lot of people wish to see when visiting Stavanger. However, the walk is both longer and more difficult than the one to Preikestolen. Still, it’s pretty achievable 1-day trip, so dozens of people hike the path to see the scenic rock and views from the top, especially in high season.
There are several ways you can get to the start of the trail, which is a parking and restaurant at Øygardstøl (Eagle’s nest). Reaching there is tricky due to roads being closed for winter (i.e. up to late May), which leaves you little choice of timing for the trip.
In the season (June to August), there is a bus running from Stavanger Centre to the start of the trail – Øygardstøl. More information about times and booking can be found here. The whole trip takes 13,5h and costs 490NOK for adults and 390 for children.
Another option is to take ferry to Lysebotn and then taxi/hitch-hike to Øygardstøl. There is one ferry per day from Stavanger and 4 from Lauvvik (info). Once in Lysebotn, you will have to find a way to get to the top of the road, as it is very unconvenient to walk (long and several tunnels on the way).
For more adventourous hikers, it is possible to walk along Lysefjord from Preikestolen towards Songesand and then take the ferry to Lysebotn or continue the walk. This will take you an extra day or two.
As I mentioned before, this hike is longer and more demanding than Preikestolen. However, as main tourist attraction of the region, it is well marked and prepared. The entire hike takes about 5-6h both ways and has several steep ascents and descents armed with chains – very useful when the rock is wet.
A tip for those that do not like the crowds: take your tent for this hike. As most people need to get back down for the night, you will have long evening hours and good part of the morning for yourself (and few others probably) to enjoy the views and explore! | 2019-04-25T11:50:09Z | null | 280.5 | 2,544 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
» WHY DID I GET THYROID CANCER?
A TRH test may be indicated if secondary hypothyroidism is suspected. Some patients may have low levels of circulating thyroid hormones and secondary hypothyroidism as a result of damage to the hypothalamic or pituitary control mechanisms that regulate thyroid function. The hypothalamus makes a small hormone called TRH that directs the synthesis and secretion of TSH from the pituitary gland. If these normal regulatory mechanisms are interrupted, the pituitary may not be able to produce appropriate levels of TSH and levels of thyroid hormones may decline, although the TSH remains appropriately normal. The TRH test involves administration of a small amount of TRH intravenously, following which levels of TSH will be measured at several subsequent time points using samples of blood taken from a peripheral vein. Patients with normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) respond by increasing the levels of TSH following TRH injection. Patients with compromised HPA function may exhibit a delayed, blunted, or absent response to TRH administration.TRH may cause nausea, vomiting and some patients experience an urge to urinate. Rarely, TRH may cause blood vessel constriction leading to hemorrhage in patients with pre-existing pituitary tumors. Accordingly, patients should be advised about the risks, albeit rare, of TRH testing. | 2019-04-20T00:41:34Z | null | 248.5 | 1,382 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Coal India fell the most by 2.58 per cent among Sensex scrips, dragging the index into the negative zone.
Market benchmark BSE Sensex on Wednesday dropped by 173 points, snapping its two-day record-closing run largely due to losses in key energy stocks of Reliance Industries and Coal India.
The 30-share index hit an all-time intra-day high of 38,989.65 at the outset but the market lost steam as investors preferred to book gains after the recent rally.
The BSE barometer touched a low of 38,679.57 points towards the fag-end before settling at 38,722.93 points, down by 173.70 points, or 0.45 per cent over the last close.
Also, the NSE Nifty index in choppy movements finished lower by 46.60 points or 0.40 per cent at 11,691.90.
Intra-day, it hit a high of 11,753.20 and a low of 11,678.85. The Nifty had risen by 181.40 points or 1.54 per cent in the past two days.
Reliance Industries snapped its seven-day winning run to close down by 1.8 per cent even as its daily trading volume soared 1.5 times to 5.71 lakh against two-week average of 3.78 lakh.
Infosys, HDFC Bank, Yes Bank and IndusInd Bank also declined due to profit booking.
The rupee plunged to a record low of 70.57 (intra-day) to the dollar, largely on strong month-end demand from importers and banks amid weakness in other Asian currencies.
"Market gave up some gains due to a weak rupee and profit booking ahead of F&O expiry tomorrow," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services Ltd said.
Sentiment also took a hit after rating agency Moody's Investors Service said there are risks of India breaching the 3.3 per cent fiscal deficit target for the current financial year as higher oil prices will add to short-term fiscal pressures, brokers said.
PowerGrid, NTPC, Asian Paint, Vedanta, HUL, Axis Bank, Maruti Suzuki, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, L&T, HDFC and Sun Pharma lost up to 1.58 per cent.
In contrast, ONGC emerged top gainer by surging the most 1.58 per cent, while SBI rose 1.54 per cent.
Tata Steel, ICICI Bank, Tata Motors, ITC Ltd, Wipro, M&M, Kotak Bank, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto too ended higher.
Sectorally, the BSE energy emerged as the worst performer, sliding 1.13 per cent, followed by telecom (0.71 per cent), teck (0.50 per cent), IT (0.41 per cent), healthcare (0.38 per cent), capital goods (0.15 per cent), consumer durables (0.14 per cent), FMCG (0.13 per cent) and banking (0.09 per cent).
Metal, realty, PSU, oil&gas, infrastructure and auto indices ended in the positive zone, rising up to 1.11 per cent.
The broader markets outperformed benchmarks as the mid-cap index rose 0.47 per cent and small-caps gained 0.05 per cent.
Shares of JSW Steel climbed 8.97 per cent to hit 52-week high following announcement of its entry in NSE Nifty 50 from September 28.
Market breadth was negative as 1,429 scrips declined, 1,281 scrips advanced and 166 remain unchanged.
Globally, Asian stocks ended mixed as investors were cautious as they await developments in the China-US trade row.
Key benchmark indices Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.31 per cent, while Singapore down 0.17 per cent.
Japan's Nikkei rose 0.18 per cent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.14 per cent.
European markets were trading narrowly lower as key indices Frankfurt's DAX and Paris CAC 40 moved down by 0.01 per cent and 0.2 per cent.
London's FTSE too turned negative by falling 0.43 per cent in late morning trade. | 2019-04-19T14:25:04Z | null | 1,753.2 | 3,401 | null | 0.145545 | [

We hope everyone is enjoying their last few weeks of summer with friends, family and fabric!
This is a high quality 1/4" thick acrylic curved ruler set for longarm quilting use. Or it can be used to mark quilting designs for quilting on your domestic sewing machine.
or tell us about your favorite long-arm quilter!
Good Luck! Winner will be announced on Monday 8-24.
Only one comment about quilting?!…hmm.. how about I’m a teacher by day and a quilter any other open minute I have available to quilt! I can get lost on my quilting and the days stress disappears among the colors, and designs, and the hum of my machine. Quiting is what keepse sane!!
I’m doing a Row by Row quitl and needed your ruler. I found your site and am excited to learn more. Your quilts are beautiful . I’m ready to sew!
Enjoyed the QAL, my local quilt group liked my quilt. I have been making several of your patterns and liking the curves, finding it easy to get the seams matched up with your technique of cutting them to size after sewing the curved blocks.
I LOVE quilting! I have my own long arm now and really enjoy the process (even through it can be stressful) of coming up with how to quilt my stack of unfinished tops. Thank you for a chance at such a great giveaway. Your quilting has been such a great inspiration for me.
I visited a local quilt shop today. They had a great display showing your quilts. I couldn’t resist buying your ruler and can’t wait to get started on my own quilt.
I started quilting 35 years ago and top quilted by hand. I now have a longarm that I absolutely love. I feel so blessed.
I’m a busy longarmer. My challenge is finding time to quilt my own quilts! But, I feel blessed to have my own machine.
I just bought a mid arm a few months ago and I am enjoying learning. I have only started using rulers. I think the curved cross hatching achieved with your ruler is fabulous. Have made three of your paterns. Love them all. There are not enough hours in a day.
I just quilted my Metro Hoops quilt at Laurena’s Longarm Quilting in Burlington MA. She patiently taught me how to use the Statler Machine to make beautiful leaves in the circles! I think I will have to make another Metro hoops quilt.
I don’t do a lot of ruler work, the sidekick just might be the one I fall in l ove with! Thanks for th giveaway !
I have been quilting for more than 10 years and did all my quilting in my home machine. Two years ago I got my long arm and I love it. It was a challenge but I think I have tame that stinker. Love not to have to baste my quilts, I’m not as young as I think and not having to be in my knees in the floor basting and fighting the quilt in the home machine is like being in heaven. Love quilting it is my therapy.
I do not own a long arm, but I am in awe of those who use it so skillfully. However, I am slowly learning to quilt on my domestic machine and I am finding it a lot of fun. Your ruler would really inspire me!
I quilt all my quilts on my domestic machine. I love doing free motion! It feels like drawing and adds so much texture to the quilt.
I have been quilting since the 70s and haven’t made enough yet. I have a longarm but still struggle with the more advanced free motion work. Pantos are my forte.
I have been hand quilting and tying quilts but I am really wanting to learn FMQ on my sewing machine. So excited to about your patterns, so gorgeous ?
My daughter and I always make sure one of your patterns is in our project basket when we go to our guilds annual retreat. Love your work – keep designing!! | 2019-04-21T03:01:20Z | null | 762.9 | 3,545 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

It took me six months to work a line from my favorite country music artist, Chris LeDoux, into a column, but I finally found the right spot to do it.
On the way back from spending Labor Day weekend in Michigan visiting family and, of course, going to Mount Pleasant Meadows, I took a detour to the Van Wert County Fair in Van Wert, Ohio.
What drew me off the beaten path to this modest county fair in the middle of nowhere Ohio?
The Van Wert County Fair is one of a very small handful of fairs east of the Mississippi River to offer pari-mutuel flat track racing. As readers out west surely know, the fair circuit is still kicking on their side of the country, but for whatever reason, the tradition has largely died out as one heads eastward.
The Van Wert fair runs a one-day, quasi-sanctioned card of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing each year on Labor Day. The purses are modest, the races don’t show up on Equibase and the starting gate is as rickety-looking and claustrophobic as they come. After seeing photos of the Van Wert races on the Facebook page of some friends who took their horses to run there, I knew this was a place I needed to see.
I arrived in Van Wert in time for the sixth race after a late start getting on the road. The program stand was sold out, so I took the advice of a mutuel teller and hung around the garbage bins until somebody discarded one. It took me a while, but I finally managed to snag a clean program. Not surprisingly, the information was spotty at best. Lots of handwritten information.
In the last four days, the track’s surface had hosted two days of harness racing, a truck and tractor pull and, on the night prior to the races, a demolition derby. Nobody was going to blame his or her horse’s performance on the surface being too deep.
Additionally, there was no inside rail – only pylons from the harness racing days to mark where the suggested boundaries lie, with one pylon surrounded by a long, neon green Styrofoam tube to mark the finish line.
Instead of a booth above the grandstand, the announcer and placing judges were situated on an elevated platform next to the finish line. If riders wanted to file an objection, they rode their horses right up to the stand and state their case.
As for the riders, their assignments were announced over the loudspeaker as they entered the paddock. One jockey puffed on a cigarette while riding through the post parade. I am not an advocate of smoking, but this was truly something to behold.
At this point, it would be understandable to wonder where I am going with this, aside from describing an offbeat racing destination. Again, don’t worry. I’ll explain.
As I noted earlier, the programs sold out by the sixth race. Unless the printer broke down, that means the place drew a crowd, which it most certainly did. The grandstand was packed and it was just as populated around the track’s turns and backside with tailgaters who grilled and enjoyed spirits like they would for a football game.
The crowd demographic was quite a bit different from the average racetrack. The stereotypical down-and-out degenerates that populate the bigger tracks were few and far between, or at least their cries were drowned out by the brass band that played in between races.
It seemed like the coveted “young people” demographic was not terribly in force, but the “very young people” group was there in spades, and they can be just as valuable.
The number of kids with what appeared to be a legitimate interest in what was going on was rather staggering. Even if some of them were still deciding on which horse they wanted to “vote”, they still formulated legitimate analyses on the races before them while their supervising adults filled in the blanks.
These kids may not be able to put money through the windows, but creating the desire to play the races down the road is worth just as much.
Warranted or not, most racetracks do not have a reputation for being a great place to take the “very young people” demographic unless they grew up in the industry. Generations of real and imagined stories about shady dealings and Runyon-esque characters are enough to convince most parents to look elsewhere. The advent of casino gaming at the racetracks has only furthered this notion.
A county fair does not carry this stigma. The family and agricultural atmosphere creates a safe environment for parents and grandparents to bring their young ones once or twice a year and teach them about racing. To bring it back to the Chris LeDoux quote, the county fair is a great place for kids to get an up-close, hands on introduction to horse racing and fall in love with the sport.
For those who believe we can’t count on tomorrow to save today, consider the size of the crowd and the money they put through the windows. With no extended meet to worry about maintaining purse structure or facilities, there is a good chance a significant portion of the handle goes to the county fair, strengthening the community without leeching tax dollars from the public.
Somewhere along the line, the eastern part of the country appears to have lost its way in regards to fair racing. The sport has lots to gain in reviving the tradition, from generating local grassroots interest to giving horses and connections a place to run in an era of consolidation.
Besides, horse racing is way more fun on anything on the midway.

This report is written primarily for Minnesota’s electric utility regulators, policymakers, organizations representing ratepayers, and others who have a stake in the direction of Minnesota’s future energy system, and includes specific recommendations for statutory changes and regulatory action.
Phase II aimed to build on the consensus recommendations of Phase I, but in more specific areas, with more participants involved. That was the goal. The Phase II report reflects a great deal of work by participants representing a broad cross-section of the public interest, and a substantial increase in the understanding of the positions and concerns of all participants in this phase. | 2019-04-20T06:11:38Z | null | 169.6 | 682 | null | 0.340176 | [

Earlier this week, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of Prince’s Purple Rain by counting down his albums from worst to best. Prince celebrated in his own way, too: by throwing a private surprise concert at Paisley Park in Minneapolis. His Purple Rain co-star Apollonia Kotero was in attendance, which marked her first time at Prince’s estate. You can listen to audio from the show below. | 2019-04-23T11:54:27Z | null | 502.9 | 388 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

For more than 40 years, Saturday Night Live has been a breeding ground of some of America’s greatest comedy minds. But when you put that much talent in an enclosed space, you’re asking for trouble. Even the best SNL members have their bad moments. Stories of fights at SNL almost outnumber the stories of how great bits were written, or even wild drug stories – maybe that’s just a symptom of a bunch of people in the 20s and 30s staying up for days at a time with the intense pressure to produce hanging over their heads. Not all of the behind the scenes SNL fights ended with someone getting punched in their face. Some of the fights backstage at SNL were started with a joke that turned into a two decade long feud, and others spilled out onto other talk shows and exploded from there.
You would think that in an era where everyone knows everything thanks to the Internet, fights on set at Saturday Night Live wouldn’t be a thing. But it turns out that almost the opposite is true. Special guests and even cast members rant and rave to anyone who will listen about their SNL beefs, thus making everyone wish they worked on the show so they could witness some of that drams. If you don’t mind having your views changed on a few of your favorite comedic performers, feel free to keep reading for some bts SNL D-R-A-M-A.
Read about the craziest and most out of character backstage scuffles, bicker fests, and wars of words to come out of Saturday Night Live.
Back in the '90s, David Spade's biggest breakout on SNL came from his Hollywood Minute segment on Weekend Update. The whole scthick was that he would be rude and viewers would go "OOOOOOOH!" and that was that. But when he joked about Eddie Murphy being a "falling star," the SNL alum was not pleased. Murphy called Spade on the following Monday and went off on the young comedian, saying, "David Spade, who the f*ck do you think you are?!! Honestly? Who. The. F*ck. Going after ME?? You dumb motherf*cker! I’m off-limits, don’t you know that? You wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for me. Talking sh*t about me??" It would take another 20 years for their beef to be squashed.
One of the most annoying conversations in the world of comedy is that female writers and performers aren't funny. This isn't just sexist, it's straight up not true. But John Belushi was such a misogynist that he actively tried to torpedo sketches written by women.
Is there a more '90s feud than Chris Kattan vs. Norm Macdonald? Maybe Technotronic vs. Jesus Jones. During a radio interview in 2015, Kattan revealed that he and Norm had an intense feud during their tenure at Saturday Night Live that culminated in a bizarre argument during a pitch meeting that didn't make anyone look good.
After Kattan suggested a Mango sketch with Garth Brooks Macdonald replied, "Nobody wants to do a sketch with a f-a-g.” To which Kattan responded, "Norm, go sexually abuse your assistant.” After all of this came out on air, Macdonald's people and his former assistant issued multiple statements that no sexual abuse had ever happened, and Kattan withdrew his statement.
It's the age old question: do you prefer Bill Murray or Chevy Chase? Obviously, time has landed firmly on Murray's side, but in the '70s that wasn't the case. In 1976, Murray replaced Chevy Chase as the resident tall, handsome, smarmy white guy on SNL and he quickly began winning over fans. Chase allegedly hated Murray, and when he returned to host the show in season 3, they got into what Murray describes as "a Hollywood fight." As legend has it, as Murray's brother was pulling them apart, Murray was shouting that Chase was a "medium talent." | 2019-04-25T19:50:41Z | null | 400.5 | 3,643 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

The Office of Vocations greets the new year with a brand-new web site! It's geared both toward the young men discerning their vocations, as well as ordinary Catholic who want to promote vocations within the archdiocese. You can read about seminarians, keep up-to-date about events, and request free materials.
Pope Francis declared that a Year of Consecrated Life (YCL) be celebrated throughout the world. YCL began on the First Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2014. It will close on the World Day of Consecrated Life, February 2, 2016. This is a time to celebrate the dedication of religious sisters and brothers throughout the world who have given their lives totally to Jesus.
In Summer 2015, ten men will be ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of New York. Now transitional deacons in their fourth year of theology, these men are busy practicing celebrating Mass and hearing confessions. It is a time of intense preparation, joy, and anticipation. Please pray for our future priests!
The Office of Vocation is releasing a brand-new Vocation Plan this year. The four-point plan focuses on prayer, invitation, support, and education. The goal is to energize Vocation Committees in our 300+ parishes to take on the responsibility of promoting & encouraging vocations on the local level. Ask your pastor how you can become involved. | 2019-04-22T16:27:17Z | null | 308.4 | 1,342 | null | 0.075261 | [

Call them crazy, off-the-wall or far out, but don`t say the followers of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche lack courage. On Wednesday afternoon one of their foot soldiers was dodging cars on Lower Wacker Drive as he tried to pass out LaRouche literature before the traffic lights changed. It is hoped that drivers, if not the LaRouchie, saw the light.
''lopsided, lumpy novel that outstays its welcome,'' in a critique by John Simon in The New York Times Review of Books on Sept. 29. On Wednesday, Book Review editor Rebecca Sinkler said Mailer will be given up to 1,500 words to rebut Simon`s opinion. Mailer, who argued with Sinkler and Times Managing Editor Joseph Lelyveld that Simon was biased, is expected to have his rebuttal printed in the Nov. 17 book review.
KING OF THE ROAD Usually a King Drive, or King Highway honors Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., but along Interstate Highway 55 through Jackson, Miss., the King Freeway pays homage not to the slain civil rights leader but to blues legend B.B. King.
''This is going to be one of the positive tools to change our image,'' said Jackson city Councilman Kenneth Stokes who suggested the additional name. Although King earned fame in Memphis, he was born on a cotton farm in the Mississippi Delta in 1925 and learned to play guitar there. | 2019-04-19T05:47:25Z | null | 592.6 | 1,298 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
In addition to this I started an initiative to develop requirements to conduct more scientific resource levelling engine comparison of different tools. That initiative did not really proceed back then.
Now a couple of years later I still did not find any report on comparing of resource levelling of different project management programs, therefore I want to restart my 2 years ago initiative but with much more flexible rules.
Anybody can post here a comparison results of resource levelling outcomes of at least any 2 tools using any comparison method he has chosen for himself. The only hard requirement would be: that the test would be repeatable.
In such way we can build a sort of database of results, from where anybody can track conclusions independently.
I also plan this 1st post in this thread with the comulative results table, so that it is all in one place.
I was told that when sample projects were leveled by Asta resources assigned to activities were scheduled to work at different time. As the result activity durations become longer. It is like the car is used separately from its driver, the car was assigned without a driver and the driver was used without his car.
My contact did not find Asta option to assign resources together as the team (crew).
Mike, is it true? What did they miss? I don't believe that Asta is not capable of modeling simple team work.
You said - The problem with most software is the assumption the duration is fixed - it is not, the quantity of work is fixed, the duration is a function of the resources allocated (but the relationship is complex).
Spider project can tackle the issue very easily with the use of production type activities whose duration is determined by the allocated resources, their production rates and the total volume of work.
Production can be done by individual teams working on separate shifts and can be done by a combination of several teams.
Teams selection can be done among a pool of several teams that share common skills with or without same production rates.
For some basic software, skills and materials are just an ID label different to the functionality Spider associate with these names.
As things change with activity progress the original resource assignments can cahnge, the team you use for the same activity on winter might be different to the team you use on summer and their production rates per unit time can be substantially different. Usually these are standard crews with different labor and equipment composition each with different output per day.
The team you use at night migh be less productive than the one working during the day.
I do not know of software other than Spider Project that can model activity duration as a function of the assigned resources productivity, it is a no brainer for us but not available everywhere.
I was reluctant to go with very simple models but it was agreed to go low because most commercially available software cannot dream about modeling duration as a function of the resources allocated, a function that in many cases is linear but at other times it is not and for this we use skills for whole crews.
So we agreed to compare resource leveling capabilities without considering the other resource assignment variables Spider can handle very easily.
Maybe we can agree that software unable to model activity duration as a function of assigned resources is not good enough.
Regarding the schedule GENETIC01, when I download it, then Spider complaints that file is corrupted and I can't open it. Can you reload it?
I downloaded myself the file and it works so it should not make any difference if I upload the same thing, I suspect it might be due to the Spider version you are using. Try downloading again, try updating your Spider version and let me know, even if a demo version try updating it.
Thank you very much for testing Project Easy and letting me know, I do not have P6 nor MSP.
it looks like we live and work at different markets.
First problem that you mentioned does not exist and is not directly linked with resource leveling capabilities.
And every owner wants to save time and money by proper use of available resources.
Those who are not interested in this loose time and money of somebody else.
So, may be it is too easy.
1) may be more of very simple intuitively-understood schedule, which can be assigned a pass/fail criteria, rather then duration. At the same time it shall not be that simple, that every tool would come with pass result.
So, if the solution is optimal - pass, otherwise - fail.
2) Example of some real construction (or any other) project, which can be used for resource leveling comparison. It would be very good if such schedule is in *.mpp format and in general publicly available. So, that people cannot say, that we specially crafted such schedule to give an advantage to one or the other tool. The reason I want to have such schedule is because we shall not be using only academic-created schedules. At the end of the day we are practical people.
I want to take my time to congratulate you for your effort. For some mysterious reason software comparison has been absent in recent years.
I am curious about your results for Project Easy with MSP and P6. Is it possible you are still looking for MSP and P6 prioritization rules? I thought you was to use default rules. I only have and use Spider Project.
I have ran the the leveling test GENETIC01 on P6 R8.4. I have 32 days without leveling and 49 days with leveling. The standard leveling option, activity leveling to "normal", was the shortest. I could not find an leveling criteria that could improve the 49 days.
You can try Project EASY.
I cannot wait to see how P6, MSP and Spider results for GENETIC01 compare. A small job, not very complicated but good as a jump start.
thank you very much for your examples. I will look at them. Meanwhile I have downloaded Primavera P6 v15.1, which is apparently very nicely made available for download for trial purposes by Oracle.
See updated table with Primavera results below. I will also put the digest of results in the 1st post of this thread.So, in the same way as in my tests from 2 years ago MSP is actually better, than Primavera, but worse, than Spider.
Settings used for Primavera scheduling: I used default settings (Activity levelling priority). However since there are no actively priorities, assigned to activities, this effectively means, that no activity has a priority over any other activity. In this way I am asking Primavera exactly what I asked MS Project and Spider: I do not care about activity priorities, I do not want to influence you, just deliver me the shortest schedule you can. I also verified, that if I remove this “Activity Levelling Priority”, this does not change anything, primavera produces the same schedule.
I can imagine, that by playing around with many possible priorities settings, available at Primavera it is possible to achieve a shorted schedule, but then probably these priority setting would be different for every schedule. However this would be similar to manual scheduling in my view.
Ok, Raphael. So how much are those six days that are the difference between MSP and Spider worth? $60,000? $600,000? 18 human lives?
Y'know, it's bad enough that people die because it akesmore time than expected to develop a new drug. or build a new hospital, or respond to a disaster or dig a potable water well. But when the delay is caused by a computer algorithm, that is truly sad.
I got a duration of 43 days at a single click, no need to mess with prioritization rules.
What is the best you can you get with MSP, P6 and Spider?
I agree, but wanted to point out resource leveling is not just about renewable resources by challenging others daring to try the impossible, to try modeling resource leveling of other resource types using renewable resources.
I believe some people do not even know the difference between consumable and renewable resources and both matter. Even fewer realize that spatial resources can be modeled via consumable resources, most do not know the concept and believe they will never have a need to model spatial resources.
A year ago I was involved on a claim that was finally agreed using common sense but it was a perfect case for modeling spatial resources. It was about a vocational school and because of unforeseen underground conditions a building was relocated causing all sequence to be changed. Scheduling was tied to prefabricated elevated slab forms that must remain on each building until concrete work is finished, these are spatial resources. Changing [justifying] the logic was a nightmare while spatial resource modeling takes care of it at a single click of the mouse, well two clicks. It happened twice that a change in building sequence was in order.
Focusing only on renewable resources is myopic.
at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Resource-Leveling-Very-Interesting-Thread-45942.S.5990883937872809985?view=&gid=45942&item=5990883937872809985&type=member&commentID=discussion%3A5990883937872809985%3Agroup%3A45942&trk=hb_ntf_COMMENTED_ON_GROUP_DISCUSSION_YOU_FOLLOWED#commentID_discussion%3A5990883937872809985%3Agroup%3A45942 Paul Harris suggested to consider different leveling options comparing software leveling capabilities. It could be an interesting but separate discussion. Paul listed some options that may be considered and his list is not full.
But it is still interesting to compare resource consrained schedules created by different packages when leveling setting and requirements are the same. Evgeny suggested to try different software for most simple settings (FS links, no splittings, no materials, etc.), the settings that every scheduling software shall support. Later we may discuss other leveling requirements and how different packages meet them. Creating a full list of potential requirements is an interesting task.
The package that produces better (shorter) schedules can save a lot to its users. Let's start from the most simple case and then consider other leveling options, each one in the separate discussion.
Because of the delivery schedule you cannot do all activities starting from day one, at some point you will run out of brick resources so after Adjust activity schedules to remove overallocations the duration will be 29 days.
Feel free to make an excel table and calculate bricks availability day by day. BTW in this case allowing splitting does not makes any difference although frequently it does.
What did you got with MSP after resource leveling?
Spider Project calculates the costs of delays. But I agree with you that this test shall focus on #1. Cost of time deserves separate discussion.
I suppose we can agree ancient Egyptians would have to tackle resource leveling issues so the following problem might have been a regular routine.
Depending on the Pharaoh Dynasty bricks installation would not be allowed to be split, more advanced dynasties would realize it makes sense.
How long it would take to finish the three brick installation activities using MSP, during the two dynasties? Nothing new, perhaps ancient, they just had the abacus and could figure it out.
I would limit my use of such benchmark schedules to develop portions of overall resource leveling and then would look to see how it fits within the overall tool, but in modern times, after the abacus they are not good enough by themselves to evaluate the overall performance of resource modeling tools.
I tend to agree with Vladimir that it's good that the problems are relatively simple. It's also good that they are relatively "standard" for testing algorithms. If a s/w package simply doesn't have sufficient functionality to digest the schedule, that's an important shortcoming -- but it's also a separate issue. I think that the "cleaner" you can keep this discussion by limiting it to a standard set of problems that any s/w should be able to do, the better.
Adjust activity schedules to remove overallocations. The judgement about how well it does this, in terms of delaying completion, is very important and what this test would be about.
Turn the time units of the delay into value/cost units, i.e., the impact of the delay on the ROI/NPV/EMV for measure ofdrag and drag cost of thedelaying factors. This would be very simple with the (a) the computation of resource availability drag (RAD) and (b) inclusion of an input field that allows the user to designate how much varying the completon date wil limpact the project's expected value. But does any s/w allow this? Vladimir, does even Spider allow this? Because it seems to me that including the functionality to monetize the cost of the lost time is the ultimate format for showing the importance of a superior leveling algorithm. That's why I urged Evgeny to include a column with a dollar amount based on a $1,000/day in time cost (or $10,000/day or whatever you like).
Finally, the s/w must include the ability to EASILY AND QUICKLY tie the delays, and the time cost for each delay, to the specific factor causing it. If I had a smallish project (say, 500 activities), a s/w package whose leveling algorithm produces an inferior (i.e., longer) schedule BUT THAT EASILY AND QUICKLY showed the delaying factors and the cost of each might be preferable to me to one that initially produced a shorter schedule but didn't aid much with the analysis and quantification.
I think for such simple tests we can have just pass-fail creteria.
Tasks A and C will have "Start" as predecessor.
Task B will have A as predecessor.
Task D will have C as predecessor.
Tasks B and D will have "Finish" as successor.
I am talking about simple things such as SS and FF relationships. Does it meets the criteria or shall also be banned from such comparison just because MSP is so primitive you have to tweak the schedule? I am not sure the tweaking to model SS and FF links to same activity using additional milestone dummies will yield same resource leveling within MSP, not sure about SS and FF relationships when not tied to the same activity, it happens. What is complex about FF and SS relationships?
What is complex about the gargantuan I showed before? It only have FS relationships, a single resource with availability of five across the board. Does it meets the criteria?
The results depend on how challenging the set is and based on the gargantuan it looks like the selection is not very challenging.
I agree, that these are the most basic activity relations, one can imagine. But advantage of it that it shall be able to use it to compare any Project Management tool out there as any tool shall be able to support these types of relations. Hence there is no up to date comparison available even for such simple model, this is a good test to start with in my view.
Any way, as I mentioned, everybody is welcome to post here any other comparisons.
these sets of projects are well known benchmarking tool. It is good that they do not include anything complex because any tool can be used with these simple examples. In other case it would be hard to compare resource leveling capabilities of different packages just because most of them do not include advanced features.
Just look at construction project in Spider Demo: it models working in two shifts, requires material leveling. I don't know other packages that include these features and so Spider Project schedule cannot be compared with the schedules created by other packages just because they cannot create any feasible schedule for this project. And there are other features like variable resource assignment, cost leveling, etc. that have no analogues in other tools.
So it is reasonable not to make a set of test projects too complex and include only those features that every PM software shall definitely support. This test does not try to compare functionality but just resource leveling algorithms. It would be nice if PP participants will try the packages they are using with the same projects adding data to Evgeny's table.
I am starting my own set and decided not to rule out schedules good for the Abacus, my first I call it the gargantuan. See the following figure.
With Spider I can get out of the box the 7 days duration, MSP answer is 9 days or 28.6% longer than Spider.
I downloaded J120 folder but it looks like the set is quite primitive, of the times where CPM relationships were limited to SF relationships, just take a look at the links table, also multiple relationships between two activities [usually SS and FF] are lacking, just look at the predecessors column an look for activities with multiple reference to same activity code.
These testing sets were developed decades ago for the limited functionality of CPM of the 60's, to me they are a joke, in order for the comparison to be valid as per today tools it must consider more complicated models, more complicated relationships. Good only to compare Ford Pinto models, a red Pinto versus a green Pinto.
Unfortunately some lazy academics are still stuck with decade old models and are not taking the time to develop something more up to date. Other simply do not want to rule out MSP limited functionality in fear of loosing some audience, for them it is all about publish or perish.
Do you have something better, more up to date?
I think it will be very important to get similar data on as many s/w packages as possible --Primavera, Asta, PlanView, Safran, etc.
Since I am not really knowledgable of any of them, I cannot help. But good luck.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it! I definitely want to do more thorough work on this subject, but I really hope, that I am not the only contributor here. In fact the value of the work will be much higher, if there are several contributors and reviewers. That is why we all like Wikipedia, because it is contributed by many people and anybody can shout, if somebody else whites nonsense.
I never thought of publishing my humble work in a professional journal, but if you believe it is worth doing this, once more data is available, I will definitely consider it.
I think I am going to use these problems going forward for comparisons of different tools. They are all available here for download as a single archive in the form of Microsoft Project 2010 .mpp and .xml files.
Since the problems selection has changed, the average schedule extension due levelling has also slightly changed.
Now average extension of schedule caused by Microsoft Project is 181% (2,81 times) and the one caused by Spider Project is 146% (2,46 times). Spider is still better on every single test.
I also found that the table with 25 entries is a bit difficult to grasp, therefore I decided to also show this graphically. Namely I decided to compare all tools with MS Project 2010 SP2 (no specific reason to chose MSP 2010, except that it is probably the most widely used software nowadays and it is installed on my PC at the moment). Any way, this does not really matter what to chose as a baseline, as it is relative result, which is important.
My only issue is that, as wonderful as it is that you are doing it and publishing your results here, I'd love to see you do a more thorough study, testing more packages, and posting your results in Harvard Business Review, Project Management Journal, or some equally prestigious international publication.
One of the important things that it has always seemed to me that a resource-leveling algorithm should do is to list, in descending order, the drag cost of the resource bottlenecks, i.e., how much each is costing. I would be curious if any leveler has that functionality, because your study would make the value of such a computation VERY clear!
Under any circumstances, I am going to a mention and link to this tread on PM discussion groups on LinkedIn.
Ok, and since I started this the 1st comparison results would come from me.
I have used the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) library, which is the part of the PROJECT SCHEDULING PROBLEM LIBRARY – PSPLIB, published by the Prof. Dr. Rainer Kolisch from the Technical University of Munchen and by Arno Sprecher from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel.
So, 2040 problems in total.
We present a set of benchmark instances for the evaluation of solution procedures for single- and multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems. ... This should be a valuable and driving source for further improvements in the area of project type scheduling.
In my view one can hardly find any more independent test criteria.
I have converted all of these 2040 problems in the from of Microsoft Project files. One can download them all here. After that I have run MS Project 2010 for all of these 2040 problems and selected 15 most interesting of them. The “most interesting” for me were the ones, which gave the biggest ratio of schedule duration increase due to levelling (duration resource levelled / duration not resource levelled). They all happen to be from J120 series.
Since I want my test to be easily repeatable by anybody, I also then selected 5 most interesting of J30 series. The reason I have done it because one of the tools I used for comparison was Spider Project, which provides a fully-functional demo version, which is limited to 40 tasks. So, with j30 series anybody can repeat my tests.
After that for each of these selected 20 problems I have also run resource constrained schedule in Spider Project.
I have disallowed splitting of tasks by resource leveling in both tools to ensure level playing field.
So, by doing this I have compared 2 software tools available to me using the most independent test criteria I could find.
So I am posting results here.
On every single of selected problems Spider Project came up with shorter schedule, then MS Project 2010.
On the selected set of problems the average duration extension due to resource levelling of MS Project was 219% (3,19 times) and of Spider Project was 174% (2,74 times). Or in another words, for the selected set of problems the resource-leveled Spider Project schedule would be in average 14% shorter, then Microsoft Project one. | 2019-04-25T13:55:35Z | null | 669.1 | 22,151 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Clutter is overwhelming. Not only is it distracting, but it can actually impede you from being productive.
According to Psychology Today, clutter “inhibits creativity and productivity by invading the open spaces that allow most people to think, brain storm [sic], and problem solve.” Think about it this way: clear space, clear mind. Plus, if you clear the clutter, you’re just making more to buy new, fun, exciting things that can better serve you. Donating and getting rid of old items can also be a major tax write-off.
The above are but a few good reasons to declutter your life – and here’s one more: these days, there are several amazing websites and apps that aid in helping you to sell your old stuff online. Luckily for you, we easily broke it down into our top seven free (or practically free) websites and apps that you can use to sell your items – read on to find out how to turn your garbage into gold.
Letgo has one of the best features on any website, in our opinions: the ability to simply “log in” using social media. Who wants to suffer through a long sign-up process when you have stuff to sell? Once you’re logged in, simply click on the “Sell Your Stuff” icon and get going! Letgo lets you let go of old movies, clothing, furniture, electronics – even cars. It is very similar to many other sell-your-junk websites, though the app doesn’t process payments, and recommends that you meet in-person with your buyer.
One of the coolest features regarding Letgo is that it lets you negotiate with your buyers via chat inside the app. Another neat feature is that you can mark your items as “sold” within the app, similar to what you would do on Facebook marketplace when an item sells.
Keep in mind that the app is new, so it does still have a few kinks to work out, i.e., spam buyers. It is difficult to get away from scammers with any selling service, so be wary about who you’re selling to and what information you’re putting out there.
The app is location-based, so you will be selling items in your area. Another key issue is that the app is not popular in smaller towns, so may not work well for some readers.
Check out the app here at the Apple store (it's also available for Android) and download on your smartphone if it works for you.
With a five-star Trustpilot rating, Decluttr is a seller’s app that clearly comes highly recommended. This app is unique, because you can only sell items with a barcode – so, CDs, DVDs, books, games, and tech. You enter an item’s barcode and/or number for a “tech” item, and the app will immediately provide an offer. If it looks good to you, pack your items in a box, ship it to Decluttr for free, and get paid via check, PayPal, direct deposit. Additionally, you have the option to donate your “order value” to a charity.
There are not paying fees for listing your items, and for shipping, all you have to do is attach a free shipping service label to your box and ship it from a UPS center – how simple is that?
For more information, visit the Decluttr website to get started in shipping off your tech and pocketing some cash.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – sell it! eBay is a tried-and-true method of clearing your clutter, and comes highly recommended and trusted. Dubbed “the world’s online marketplace,” sellers can sell from virtually anywhere in the world, and the same goes for buyers. Nearly anything you sell on eBay will be bought, as long as you’re flexible – that’s the beauty of the site. Founded in 1995, eBay has truly lived up to its reputation, and is the largest online community to buy and sell, boasting hundreds of millions of users buying normal, everyday items, to the very weird – like, celebrity hair trimmings and haunted dolls.
However, eBay is one of the more complicated websites to use; you should really do your research before deciding whether or not to use the website (and you started in a good spot by reading this article!). After creating your seller’s account and setting up a payment method (we recommend using PayPal), build your rep by purchasing a few small items. You’ll start getting good reviews, especially if there are no communication or payment issues. Another good trick is to only sell a few items and sell what you already own – you are minimizing risk in this way. Also keep in mind what market you are selling to – look at other listings to see what similar sellers are doing right and wrong.
Are you a beauty fiend with a penchant for pretty? Do you frequently buy makeup you end up never using? Then GlamBot may be the perfect sellers’ platform for you! The company will purchase your new or “unloved” makeup by mailing you an offer within five business days from when they receive your package of goodies from USPS.
Bear in mind that you must review the sell requirements and accepted brands first, so that you don’t waste their time or yours! If all bodes well, request that GlamBot email you a free shipping label. Once you ship your makeup and get that dough, you can spend it on even more beauty products by getting 30% in store credit. That’s right – GlamBot is also a store that you can spend money in; and thus the cycle begins again.
One of the website’s coolest features is that you can tell by the brands they accept that they are the virtual It Girls of buying unwanted makeup – indie brands and high-end names abound on their page.
To cash in on your makeup habit, visit GlamBot.
Poshmark is your go-to high-end fashion find. Buy and sell your old chic looks on this website, and be prepared to rake it in!
This is another website where you should look at other seller profiles, and see what is being “liked” (as denoted by a little heart in the bottom corner of the picture) – take notes based off of that. High-end brands are the ones that generally sell, though you can still try and sell a newish Old Navy dress for cheap.
One of Poshmark’s most notable features is their Posh Parties, which are virtual shopping parties for buyers and sellers on the app. Skip the trip to the mall and shop online – only do it while bonding with your friends, as opposed to with your cat, in your pj’s, eating three-day-old leftover pizza.
In order to sell on Poshmark, you will need to download the app on iPhone, iPad, or Android devices.
Want to clear the clutter, but prefer to keep it local? Do you feel like Craigslist can be a bit shady sometimes? Try Bookoo, the new way to sell to your neighbors!
It is similar to Craigslist or Letgo, in that you meet up with a seller, exchange money, and off you go. The bonus is that it’s all local, which makes for easy pick-up – especially for big items, like furniture. And, it’s with your neighbors! So, you likely know the folks that are selling the stuff, or have a general idea of what you’re getting and who you’re dealing with.
To see if Bookoo is right for you, visit their website.
Gone are the days of yard sales (well, almost) – of all the selling is online! Happy selling!
Passing this along! Have a great day and rest of the week! | 2019-04-22T20:49:41Z | null | 473 | 7,014 | null | 0.01554 | [

April 17th is fast approaching and that means many of your donors and supporters are scrambling to get their tax paperwork in order. Here’s what they should know about the basic tax benefits of giving to charity.
They may qualify for an income tax deduction.
If donors elect to itemize deductions on their tax return, they may be able to take an income tax deduction for a gift to a qualified charitable organization. The caveat here is that the itemizing pays off only when donors exceed that standard deduction. The standard deduction changes each year, so it’s up to the donor to do the research.
A donation is deductible if it’s given to a 501(c)(3).
Many charitable organizations meet the IRS’s criteria, but not all. Donors should look for the 501(c)(3) designation to be sure. In general, charitable tax deductions are not allowed for contributions to an individual, a foreign government, international charities, political parties, political campaigns, social welfare organizations commonly known as 501(c)(4), or political action committees.
Non-cash donations may be tax deductible.
Sometimes supporters donate items like clothing and supplies to charities in addition to or instead of writing a check. The IRS spells out rules for such gifts. For example, for property owned for more than a year, the deduction is usually equal to the property’s fair market value. Donated clothing and household items must be in “good condition or better” and require a receipt.
What about donating that old junker that’s been sitting in the driveway for months? Maybe not so fast. To receive a deduction for any vehicle, the item must be worth more than $500. Plus, donors must have a written acknowledgment from the charity.
Volunteer hours do not qualify for a deduction.
While you may have a cohort of dedicated and loyal volunteers who pledge hours of sweat equity a year, they cannot deduct the value of their time as a charitable donation. However, they may deduct out-of-pocket expenses, such as mileage.
Donors should save receipts as supporting documentation.
To claim a deduction for cash, check, or other monetary gift, taxpayers must have written confirmation from the charity. At minimum, it should include the name of the organization, the date, and the amount of the contribution.
What about events like charity wine tastings? If donors receive some goods or services in exchange for the donation, the charity must specify the value of those goods or services. Donors may deduct only the amount of your donation that is above that value, as spelled out by the charity.
This covers the basics. If donors have specific questions pertaining to charitable contributions, they are best served by consulting a tax professional. | 2019-04-22T20:27:28Z | null | 298.4 | 2,732 | null | 0.185212 | [

We typically assist a number of UK expats looking to purchase or remortgage property in the UK when living and working in the Cayman Islands. We work with lenders who appreciate the advantages of working in a tax haven such as the Cayman Islands, particularly assisting a number of accountants and lawyers who work within the Islands.
It should be noted that there are fewer lenders who are able to assist being based in the Cayman Islands rather than being based in the US or European Union, however, although not spoilt for choice, it is likely that there will be no premium that is paid on the interest rate as a result. | 2019-04-22T10:30:31Z | null | 131.5 | 623 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Optically clear ceramic glass offers extremely high transmittance. Water-repellent (WR) coating reflects only 0.24 percent of visible light, thereby minimizing flare and ghosting.
Its protective coating effectively repels water and dust while fingerprints are easily removed with a quick wipe.
Clear Glass Ceramic offers a Vickers hardness number of 700HV. This is a level of hardness much higher than that of chemically strengthened glass, which is used in conventional high-strength protective filters. Moreover, this higher level of hardness helps prevent scratches and chips, which can lead to breakage of the filter.
Since Clear Glass Ceramic is extremely strong, the Sigma WR Ceramic Protector is up to 50 percent thinner and weighs up to 30 percent less than previous Sigma filters while offering a higher level of strength.
SIGMA's Clear Glass Ceramic offers very high transmittance, making it ideal for use as optical glass.
When pitted against the standard coating offered by other brands, the benefits of Sigma's ultra-low reflection multicoated optics are crystal clear.
Digital camera CCD or CMOS sensors are highly reflective objects and therefore susceptible to reflections. These reflections could spoil your photographs. Sigma Professional Filters have an ultra-low reflection multi-coating that dramatically reduces potential of sensor reflections and flare.
Black-Rimmed Glass Reduces light reflection off filter edge.
Premium Hard Anodized Black Frame Finish Aesthetically functional design that blends well with the fit and finish of professional lenses.
Low Profile Filter Rim Prevents vignetting with wide-angle focal length lenses. Designed to accept lens caps.
Easy-Grip Filter Edge Non-slip mounting and removal of filter.
Applicable to all but the Standard Protector Filter, the anti-static coating helps prevent static electricity from attracting dust and other particles, which can easily be blown off the filter if they do adhere.
Applicable to all but the Standard Protector Filter, the surface of the filter is specially coated to offer excellent water and oil-repellent performance. Watch water and oil ricochet while dust that does adhere blows away and fingerprints removes with one wipe.
Low-profile filter rim prevents vignetting with wide-angle focal length lenses.
Made of a special acrylic that is both stronger and more flexible, this storage case is designed to outlast others of its kind. The outer acrylic case is molded for optimal integration with the inner elastomer holder, creating a filter holder designed to last many years with minimal deterioration. It comes equipped with a closure system designed to prevent accidental open or closure during normal use. | 2019-04-23T10:01:18Z | null | 671.7 | 2,708 | null | 0.386263 | [

Ralph Lataster’s “Did historical Jesus really exist? The evidence just doesn’t add up” (Dec. 20) is so full of factual error and sloppy argumentation that it is not worthy of publication by a scholar—or by a newspaper—no matter what one thinks about the issue.
First of all, Lataster misrepresents the debate. Discussions about the existence of Jesus are debates among historians, not disagreements among atheists. Furthermore, even if Christians believe in “the Christ of faith” (though this is a problematic term in many ways) and also affirm the existence of the historical Jesus, that does not disqualify academically trained Christians from rightfully participating in the debate about Jesus’ existence. Many historians who are Christians are able to believe, in part, because they are convinced that historical study supports the existence of Jesus.
Second, Lataster misrepresents the text of the New Testament. There are plenty of passages in the gospels that narrate a teaching, healing, law-abiding, and law-breaking first-century Jewish teacher that do not even begin to fit the description of a “fictional Christ of faith”—though there are certainly texts that do portray Jesus as more than such a teacher. Moreover, in considering Paul’s letters, Lataster ignores Paul’s allusions to Jesus’ teaching, as well as Paul’s reliance on oral tradition like that found in the gospels when he describes Jesus’ Last Supper. Furthermore, Lataster mischaracterizes Paul’s apocalyptic language as indicating belief in a “celestial” rather than a human” Jesus. He also conveniently fails to mention Paul’s statement that Jesus was born of a woman (Galatians 4:4).
Third, Lataster misrepresents the nature of oral tradition and of the sources for our gospels, and either he is ignorant of current debate about each of these or else he fails to mention them. Yet he draws conclusions about the existence of Jesus based on such misrepresentation and ignorance (or suppression) of contemporary gospel scholarship.
The word “atrocious” that he applies to biblical scholarship does indeed characterize certain forms of published work. (Let the reader understand.) Another word comes to mind, too—“insulting”—both to people’s intelligence and, this week, to their spiritual and historical sensibilities.

Yes, the cross does cattle prod everything here, professor of theology at a seminary. One question regarding: “Paul’s reliance on oral tradition.” Doesn’t Paul explicitly say he doesn’t rely on oral tradition at all?
PS I hope your spiritual sensibility was recovered by Jesus’ birthday. | 2019-04-20T22:34:36Z | null | 280 | 2,838 | null | 0.052502 | [

The law that requires voters to register with a specific political party in the presidential primary denies voters a fundamental right: the right to vote for the candidate of his or her choice.
I am a registered Independent. I support and oppose candidates in both major parties and vote accordingly. This law has denied me the right to vote as I wish and forces me to make a one-party selection.
This is not the way our elections should be conducted. We need the right to vote for a candidate of our choice regardless of party affiliation. | 2019-04-26T02:11:08Z | null | 417.2 | 589 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
My wife Kim and I stayed at Idleours for 2 weeks just on Christmas. It is a small and exclusive park just great for couples. We have stayed at many parks over a number of years however, this is the first park we would rate at 10 out of 10. On top of that our hosts Rex and Heather are just the nicest people you will ever meet. This park is spoltlessly clean, our ensuite amenities perfect and Rex has done a great job with the brilliant barbecue area where we enjoyed Christmas lunch with our hosts.Thanks Rex and Heather for making our holidays so enjoyable.
we stayed here just before xmas 2010 for the weekend and enjoyed the hospitality that Me and my family stayed there for the week just recently. And i have to say, we will be returning. thanks Rex and Heather for such a lovely clean enjoyable place to stay.
This little spot is going to be so popular, it will be hard to book in to.
Brilliant, exclusive, immaculately clean, small and intimate - what a find !
Grey Nomads - great place to meet up with friends and have a BBQ, or sneak away by yourselves.
Hosts: Rex, Heather and Harry were extremely friendly and welcoming.
Can't wait to return. Thanks guys for a fantastic holiday.
We had an amazing stay with our tent on an ensuite site. This has to be the cleanest, friendliest park around. Rex and Heather were fantastic hosts and they gave great recommendations on places to eat and things to do in the area. Thanks for a great stay, we would highly recommend this park to anyone visiting the area.
Idleours was a fantastic stop over for myself and my dog Moo. Rex and Heather are wonderful friendly people, who treated me and Moo like old friends and made sure that everything was spot on. The park is in a great location, well laid out and the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We would love to visit again soon. Thanks guys!!
My wife and I have stayed in many parks around Australia and this one has to be rated among the friendliest and cleanest we have come across.Rex has the time to have a chat and make sure everything is as it should be,not like the big chain parks who take your money and say nothing more.
Rates here are good and reasonable and close to town and the beach.Enjoyed our stay very much.
We came to celebrate a 40th Birthday and our 10 year Wedding Anniversary. Rex had just taken over the park, and was just finding his footing.We couldn't have asked for any better service. With six families all together we were made extremely welcome. Being dog friendly was a huge advantage. Thanks Rex and Heather for a fantastic weekend, and we will be back in the future.
My wife Sharon and I spotted this place from the road going into town and thought we'd ask if they had a cabin for a few nights. We were met by Rex and shown the cabin which was clean and tidy. We have had a great time here and recommend it highly to anyone. Very quiet and small pet friendly. Close to town.
Laundry facilities and BBQ area as well.

William Tyler — Goes West (Jan. 25, 2019) → Přemýšlejte o prstech Williama Tylera, jako když vítr třepetá listy na stromech. Není tam žádná bouře, ale poryvy mají vlastní sílu a nemohou být ignorovány. Vydávají prohlášení.
→ Includes 24” × 36” full~color foldout poster of the Robert Beatty cover art plus a digital download card.
From M.C. Taylor: William Tyler’s new record, Goes West, is the best music that he s ever made. I m sure of this because I know and love all of his music intimately, and this album moves me the most, and the most consistently. The first time I heard it was in the late spring in the Texas Hill Country, rolling between limestone and scrub. I was on a cleanse then no alcohol, no drugs, no evil thoughts and was astonished at the emotional clarity that the album held. It offered up a model for what I wanted my head to feel like. Goes West marks a sort of narrowing of focus for William s music; it sounds as though he found a way to point himself directly towards the rich and bittersweet emotional center of his music without being distracted by side trips. Perhaps this is down to the fact that William only plays acoustic guitar on the album, a clear and conscious decision considering that he is one of Nashville s great electric guitarists. The band that performs Goes West alongside William including guitarists Meg Duffy and Bill Frisell, bassist and producer Brad Cook, keyboardist James Wallace, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, and engineer Tucker Martine is the best and most sympathetic group of players that William could have assembled to play these songs.
✹ There’s a lot that can be said about William Tyler’s abilities as a guitar player. He has a strong ear for catchy melodies with lasting power, remarkable technical chops, and an easygoing yet evocative composition style. He can make nearly an hour of solo guitar material compelling and immersive (as proven on 2013’s Impossible Dream), and Goes West shows Tyler at his relaxed but immersive best.
✹ Album opener “Alpine Star” is probably the best encapsulation of the record; it’s an ambitious track filled with twists and turns, and shows off the heavy influence of country and folk. It also contains some great guitar melodies on a record full of them. Tracks like “Call Me When I’m Breathing Again” and “Rebecca” are reminiscent of his solo guitar work, and closer “Our Lady of the Desert” pairs Tyler with accomplished guitarist Bill Frisell.
✹ It’s a collaboration that makes a lot of sense. Both players have eclectic catalogues; Frisell has covered territory in jazz, folk and country over his long career, and Tyler has travelled across indie groups, released solo guitar material, and wears his folk and country influence on his sleeve. They both have intricately nuanced yet very accessible songwriting styles, with catchy melodies balancing well with their guitar wizardry. | 2019-04-26T00:09:48Z | null | 477.8 | 2,884 | null | 0.809293 | [

Thanks so much for the prayers! After being admitted on Friday evening, Aiden looked great the following morning and the bloodwork showed that all his levels were back to normal. It is difficult to say with certainty what caused the problem but it appears it was due to dehydration from all the vomiting. They gave him Intravenous Therapy overnight and that seemed to take care of his issues. He went home on Saturday evening.
Aiden was so happy to be back home. He crawled all over the place yelling at the top of his lungs and we had to chase him around to make sure his oxgen stayed attached. Unfortunately, it looks like the feeding program may be put on hold given the additional feeding is what most likely led to the increased vomiting. We will consult with his doctors and get their input before making any decisions.
With Hannah gone all day and Manish working, it has been tough on the twins (especially Evan). All day they say “Ma?” and “Dodden?” Otherwise they are doing great in terms of growth, health, etc.
We posted some pictures over the past couple week below and some of Aiden at the hospital.
Aiden, you are drinking Starbucks?
But guess what, this was just a short stay and you get to go home tonight! | 2019-04-20T05:03:18Z | null | 396.6 | 1,222 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

*a-z of me is a weekly series created when i was suffering writers block. i also thought it might be a good way for you to get to know me a little bit better... outside of the general nonsense and backwards mirror pictures. to follow the rest of the series, click here.
if you're new to the blog, there's something you need to know about me; i'm not really... 'normal'. that's not to say i'm weird or particularly strange, it's just.. well, i prefer to err on the side of quirky. mostly for lolz, but also because i find it rather dull being like everyone else.
growing up, i always wanted to fit in but knew there was something wrong with dressing like everyone, in order to look like everyone. after school, and into adulthood, i was all about colourcolourcolour and more colour while everyone else was very much into wearing black. i would wear stupid amounts of cheap costume jewellery, and have no problem adorning my hair with glitter or flowers or bows. the older i get, the more i seem to regress back to this stage of my life!
working at the makeup counter meant access to thousands of different nail polishes and eye shadows, with a different colour lip gloss for every day of the week. i owned hundreds of pairs of shoes, in rainbow brights to wear with my charity shopped dresses and cardigans. the sale rails in the chain stores always had a healthy range of pieces of clothing that no-one else wanted, and strangely (to everyone but me), i wanted them all!
working in retail was hard though. it's hard to be yourself when you're selling someone else's style. i tried my best, but usually just got a lot of odd looks. it's hard to explain your love of black tights in an australian summer! really, the move to london was the best decision i ever made. here, everyone is quirky - or, kooky, usually. here, i'm not the only person dressing like me. there are hundreds and thousands of people walking around the streets dressing like themselves - not each other.
since the move, and the creation of this blog, i have met and made some fabulous quirky friends in this bloggersphere (you can find them all on the sidebar!) after bonding over a mutual love of heavy bangs and thick glasses, and i have come to the conclusion that being quirky is just about the best thing about me.
also: do you have a burning question you wan to ask? do so in the comments, i've got a faq in the works!
ummmm seriously can i just come live in your closet and you can just dress me every day?
Quirky is a good word :) And I love those pink sunnies! | 2019-04-24T10:16:47Z | null | 478.5 | 2,538 | null | 0.105989 | [

Darwin moved to Downe to escape the City and was attracted to the area by its peaceful rural characteristics.
Darwin said of the area: "I think I was never in a more perfectly quiet country"
Our aim is to conserve this landscape.
The attractive village of Downe, forms part of the area for the nominated World Heritage Property and often reaches its capacity for cars and visitors but car parking is limited around the village.
Restrictions are in place to control this and we suggest using public transport to ensure maximum enjoyment for all visitors and reduce overcrowding.
Weekends and school holidays are the busiest times in the area. To avoid these times why not visit during the week when parking is more available and numbers are fewer.
We wish to preserve the heritage and landscape of the nominated World Heritage Property for future generations. Please help us in this and consider local residents by respecting the area and following parking restrictions.
Road access: Down House is in Luxted Road, Downe, off A21. Limited parking.
Bus access: Bus service 146 to Downe from Bromley North and South stations. Service R8 from Orpington Station. Sunday and Public holiday services.
See list above for all bus routes.
Nearest Stations: Orpington, Hayes or Bromley South. You will then need to take one of the bus routes detailed below. | 2019-04-26T04:25:48Z | null | 489.5 | 1,345 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
V360 is the first dedicated 360 video editor for iOS and it’s now available as a free download on the App Store!
V360 was the first 360 video editor for Android and the iOS interface is very similar. You can create a montage, trim clips, or add music. It is very intuitive and user friendly, with straightforward and simple controls. V360 supports videos up to 4K resolution and it’s a free download. It’s a must-have for any 360 shooter who uses iOS.
You might also be interested in LumaFusion, a multi-track video editing app for iOS with advanced features and 360 support (both 2D and 3D), but can’t display 360 videos in 360 view. LumaFusion is a paid app.
Will this app function as a workaround to allow iOS export of full resolution video from the Xiaomi Mijia Sphere?
Hi Doug. No V360 is only for editing. It doesn’t stitch. But if you have stitched videos from the Xiaomi yes you can edit them with V360.
Ok thanks. Guess I’m waiting to see what happens with the iOS update and Desktop Software (if it’s released for the Mac).
Hi Doug. The desktop app is only for Windows I think. In the worst case scenario, one option is to get the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 to stitch videos. http://360rumors.com/2017/06/can-170-smartphone-export-xiaomi-mijia-mi-sphere-videos-full-resolution.html You can also use it to save time and begin stitching while you are on the road. | 2019-04-22T08:17:25Z | null | 817.2 | 1,365 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Be forewarned: this article involves me climbing on my soapbox and warning those who are being propositioned by rare coin touts. The world is full of them, for one simple reason: the markups on numismatic coins are substantial. Lots of money is made from selling rare coins to non-collectors. The line of patter you hear from coin salespeople is carefully scripted, intentionally misleading, and, too often, devastatingly effective.
In the interest of full disclosure, let me mention here that I’ve been a coin collector and dealer for decades. Rare coins are a fascinating field to many of us. Collectors often derive a great deal of enjoyment from the study and acquisition of old coins. Coins represent history, art, national identity, and are a timeless expression of the culture that produced them. Not only is the study of numismatics enjoyable, but the bonus is that numismatists actually have something of real value when their collections are completed.
But somehow the popular view of coin collecting has come to be that rare coins are a private, money-making endeavor for shrewd rich people. This perception has opened the door to the popular marketing of rare coins as an investment. The potential buyer is generally pitched the idea that he’s being let in on the insider secrets and special deals of the coin market, opportunities normally available only to the select few.
This 'numismatic investment' scam has been going strong for over 30 years now, and hundred of millions of dollars have been extracted from tens of thousands of non-collector buyers, who usually find out much later how badly the odds were stacked against them when they made their purchase.
The call came out of the blue from a financial advisor with a national firm we have worked with over the years. One of his clients had recently sold a business for several million dollars, and that client was interested in converting some small percentage of the proceeds into a gold position.
That client's main concern was to have an alternative form of insurance, to weather whatever the worst economic storm might bring - devaluation of the dollar, a depression, or the failure of our currency to maintain its viability as an exchangeable unit of value. The word 'barter' was even mentioned. In short, he was looking for gold, the oldest and most universally respected element of true value. The financial advisor asked me to bring him up to date on our gold recommendations.
After some conversation about the most prudent and risk-adverse portfolio of gold for his client, the advisor casually mentioned that he had been approached by one of the more prominent, nationally known dealers in rare coins, a published numismatic author and nationally recognized 'expert' in the rare coin field.
This dealer suggested that a particular rare coin he was offering at $20,000 was just the thing to own in case of an economic emergency. Which, coincidentally, was exactly what the client was concerned about.
No, owning a rare coin, or a sketch by Picasso, or a Mickey Mantle rookie card, won’t help you much when everyone's scrambling for survival. So why did this rare coin dealer suggest that collectibles are a prudent disaster hedge?
For the simplest of reasons: the money.
Collectibles such as rare coins simply are not sold under the laws that protect investors.
Take pricing, for instance. When a stockbroker calls you with a recommendation, you can at least look in the newspaper or online to find the market price of the equity that he's trying to sell you. And it's relatively easy to find out the commission he might make on the sale.
But with coins, antiques, art, jewelry, stamps and collectibles of any stripe, the mark-ups, commissions, and differences between wholesale (the dealer's cost) and retail (what you will pay) are entirely hidden from view. You seldom have any idea what sort of profit is coming right off the top when you purchase an item based on an expert’s appraisal of its value.
Worse still, even assuming you can even determine the dealer's cost on a particular coin, you still don't know what it's worth in a pinch. You may be dealing with someone who bought the item off a standard pricelist and marked it up. Or it may be a multiple-broker deal, with the dealer having gotten it on consignment, perhaps from a different dealer who had it on consignment from a collector!
The unanswered question is: What could YOU sell it for? How liquid is a truly rare coin? Who is the next potential buyer? And if you have to sell on short notice, at what price can you sell this item back onto the wholesale market? And how do you find that market?
The truth about markets is that some are more liquid than others. A true market, such as that of commodities and listed securities, features narrow spreads and a completely transparent cost structure. You always know where you stand in a true market, as narrow bid/ask spreads are published constantly, and the costs of transactions are in plain view.
But in the unregulated and arcane world of collectibles, the general rule is ‘caveat emptor’ (let the buyer beware). The key word in collectibles is mark-up, not market.
BOTTOM LINE: When a non-collector purchases a collectors item as an ‘investment,’ a future loss of his or her capital is almost guaranteed.
IN TWO WEEKS: We’ll have a few laughs looking at how U.S. rare coins have performed as an "investment" over the past 25 years. Why no coin dealer, broker or salesman can demonstrate a winning track record in rare coins since 1980. And how rare coin marketing falls through the cracks between consumer and investment fraud.

Welcome to the Retro Dungeon Crawler Kit!
RDCK is currently the only feature-complete “unity dungeon crawler editor” out there on the market. Where other solutions provide you only with a map editor or maze generator, RDCK is a complete oldschool RPG system out of the box. The perfect starting point to create a first person dungeon crawler using the Unity3d engine.
Create exciting oldschool 3d Dungeon Crawler games without a single line of code using this asset. You will be able to design a first person, grid based, party based, turn based RPG with gameplay similar to Wizardry, Shining in the Darkness, Arcana, Shin Megami Tensei and other golden Oldies. Or more modern ones like Elminage Original, Demon Gaze or Etrian Odyssey. The 3d Dungeon Crawler Kit (RDCK) ships with common core features included and is ready for game production.
Single-Player – This asset is for building classical single-player games without any network functionality.
Sprite-Based – Objects like items and monsters are represented using 2d sprites instead of 3d models. This reduces complexity and increases speed and performance. The dungeon itself is represented in full 3d.
Grid-Based – All movement inside dungeons is grid-based, your whole party moves one step on the grid at a time. This simplifies controls and dungeon-building and makes the game much more enjoyable on mobile. No collision problems, no quirky on-screen joystick.
Party-Based – You as a player control a party of any number of characters (even just one). Take care of your party members, their spells, inventories and equipment. Micromanage all aspects of your party including combat commands.
Turn-Based – Movement as well as combat are turn-based, there is no realtime action. Take the time to think about your next move.
Dungeon-Map-Based – The heart of any RDCK game are the various dungeon maps and the player moves on one map at a a time. The player can teleport between maps by using Stairs or other objects, this does not require a additional scene. Map loading and unloading is done at runtime. Towns and the Worldmap are menu-based but can be represented by a Dungeon-Map as well if desired.
Encounter-Based – Monster Encounters are random and appear all of a sudden, just like in the old days.
Inspector-Based – Not a single line of coding is required. Create your game database by simply editing templates and tiles through Unity’s inspector.
Map Editor included – This asset ships with a 2d map-editor included that allows you to build complex dungeon levels. Place your previously created monsters, items, doors, stairs etc. with just one click. The map editor will convert the 2d dungeon map into a grid-based 3d environment.
Mobile-Ready – RDCK uses a simple click/touch based control scheme without complicated controls and is therefore suited for mobile play. In addition, the sprite-based graphics reduce processing power and are ideal for mobile devices.
Ease – It makes content creation as easy as possible. Every object in the game ranging from Characters, Maps and Monsters to Items and Abilities is easily editable via scriptable objects and the integrated map editor.
Complexity – RDCK is feature complete and includes grid based movement, combat, level-ups, shops & purchases as well as item/ability usage, stat scaling and monster encounters. New features will be added with every major update. | 2019-04-24T16:44:12Z | null | 506.5 | 3,380 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

"At Spotify, we think our playlists should be just as eclectic as our palates."
Spotify quietly launched its new Global Cultures Initiative through the integration of carefully curated playlists featuring a collection of global sounds, Billboard reports.
"At Spotify, we think our playlists should be just as eclectic as our palates," the company wrote via blog post on Friday (Sept. 28), promoting the belief that new cultures should be explored in more than one way. “Why is food from other countries so embedded in our culture and yet music isn’t?" asked Rocio Guerrero, Head of Global Cultures at Spotify. "Because streaming didn't exist. But now it's happening."
Inspired by the communities and cultures that live away from their homeland, Spotify's Global Cultures Initiative works to promote and advance "culturally diverse music, surfacing hits from different countries around the world and...popular songs that cross cultures."
Spotify will also feature "top songs, both old and new, from diasporic communities around the world" including Arab, African, Indian (Desi), and Latino rollouts on its playlists.
In addition, Spotify also launched their Global X playlist which includes a mix of the hottest international crossovers. Located under the platform's Pop section, Global X contains an exclusive vertical video for DJ Snake's international track "Taki Taki" featuring Selena Gomez, Cardi B, and Ozuna.
Though Latin beats have dominated the charts this summer, the playlist will be all inclusive and multicultural with tracks like Wizkid's "Come Closer" Featuring Drake and "Zooted" by French Montana and Becky G.

Pets:We accept cats, and dogs who are well behaved, quiet, housebroken, and non-aggressive.
Limit: There is a limit of 3 pets. No weight limit or breed exclusion for dogs.
No Fleas, Please: As a courtesy to all future guests, pets must be flea-free.
Dirty Dogs: We hope your pets have fun here, but please do not bring dirty dogs into the cabin. Plan to bring towels to wipe off wet or dirty fur. Dogs are absolutely NOT permitted in the Jacuzzi. Hair will clog our septic system. Bathing should take place outside; you can use the water spigot on the side of the cabin or take warm water outside in our bucket.
Furniture: If you know your dog or cat will be on the sofas or beds, bring clean sheets or blankets to completely cover the furniture (two sofas, two beds).
Crates: If you leave your dog or cat unattended at the cabin, it must be confined in a crate. A pet left alone in strange surroundings is very likely to express it's frustration by chewing, scratching or marking it's surroundings which, in this case, would be the cabin.
Leashes & tags: Dogs must be kept on a leash when outside the cabin. They may encounter other dogs, see a deer or other wild creature, or find other interesting diversions which would encourage them to run. Dog visitors in the Hocking Hills are, unfortunately, routinely lost in the miles of woods because the owners did not keep them leashed. (ID tags are highly recommended in case they do get loose). We do not permit harassment of local wildlife or domestic animals. If we observe your dog running loose, you will be asked to vacate the cabin and you forfeit your deposit and balance due.
Barking: While we expect to hear dogs bark, persistent barking should be attended to.
Messes: Please clean up after your dog around the cabin property. We have provided a pooper-scooper and garbage can, and doggie poop bags. Any deposits left in the wooded area are OK.
Damage: Any damage to the cabin property which is caused by your pet, will be charged to you in accordance with our Rental Agreement.
State parks permit dogs but they must be leashed. Nature preserves, like Conkle's Hollow and Rock Bridge, do not permit dogs.
Enjoy the Dog Park at Lake Alma!
This dog park has access to the lake so your dog can frolic and swim to his/her heart's content! This is a state lake; please visit their website for more information. During the summer, note you should check the advisories on their web page for water conditions (click below).

He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me.
Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?
In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. | 2019-04-24T14:21:51Z | null | 538.8 | 2,928 | null | 0.036202 | [

Fashion traits appear and go as speedily as they arrived in today’s society. In buy to preserve up, it is important that you commit the time into finding out about what is likely on. You will find some wonderful fashion guidelines to stick to.
One beneficial piece of style tips is to make confident you happen to be usually seeking out for new styles. Styles alter season-by-year, and the best way to continue being in-the-know is to read fashion publications or weblogs. They usually share the new developments before anybody else.
Don’t have oodles of make-up in your cosmetic bag. Choose the ideal things for each and every year to maintain in your elegance kit. Feel about what you will need to have from the time you get up right up until you go to mattress. Just as with several other items, makeup can change sour when it is opened. Germs can even develop on it if it is just sitting there.
To some individuals, trend is just about garments, but in actuality, there is a lot more to it. A single factor they do not understand is that a negative hairstyle can demolish the look of their outfit. So if you want to maintain things hunting trendy, pay out attention to your hair, to the components you’re putting on, to your shoes, and so forth. Do not have something on you which is out of area.
Whoever mentioned that you can not wear white following Labor Working day was incorrect! You can do what you want, when you want, if it seems very good. If your ideal shade is white, you ought to definitely use white all 12 months. No a single need to care today.

I am in a dilemma over our primary home purchase & a long term investment strategy.
My husband and I are in our early 30s, no kids (planning to have one soon), work in tech jobs. We need a house with a yard and are confused with how we should tackle this problem while staying focused on our long term strategy.
Our long term goal (10years) is to displace my income from the job with rental income.
He makes about $325K & I make about $300k, a large portion of it is from stocks.
We currently own a condo in San Jose and have about $500k equity. Condo can sell for $850k-$900k or rent for $3000 to $3400 per month.
Long term (10 years), we are really interested in living and raising our kids in Los Altos or Mountain View and have an income of about $15k from real estate.
Buy a primary home worth $1.3m-$1.6m in an upcoming area in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara. Sell Condo and invest that money in 2-3 SFH around the bay area.
Buy a primary home worth $1.8m - $2.2m in MV or Sunnyvale with good schools. Sell Condo and buy 1 SFH in bay area and keep $100k aside for rainy days.
Buy a primary home worth $2.2m-$2.6m in MV or Los Altos. Sell Condo and gradually buy SFH investment properties in the coming years.
All this, while thinking of all the risks, losing jobs, downturn in the market, need for a good elementary in 6-7 years,etc.
I really appreciate your help and glad to have the opportunity to learn from other's experience.
@Keeya Malo Sounds like you have strong financials! IMO, I like multifamily units than SFH for investments and cash flow. MFH has better economies of scale (ie. 1 roof to repair for 4 units as oppose to 4 roofs for 4 SFH), and a multitude of other reasons. I also think MFH have less price swings up and down and stable in the long term. Others may disagree. Any reason why you are thinking of only SFH?
I am thinking of SFH to buy and hold for 5-10 years, as properties in our area seem to appreciate more than in other markets. I also, don't think we need income at this point of time and hence, want to maximize appreciation over income.
What do you think about the 3 options? Buy our forever home now (that we don't need) or wait for another 5-7 years and buy when we need the school districts?
I would choose option 1. But an not so expensive home then also flip/rent sfh or multi family. Just based on what your goals are you should also leverage your cash reserves by getting a line of credit. That way for example you get a line in company name (won’t hurt individuals credit score) for around $1M or so and use that funds to invest in 2 to 3 Properties.
If it's an appreciation play you are after, I'd do #1 and "dollar cost average" the investment props at one per year.
Does it make sense to sell the condo and liquidate the equity to buy investment SFHs? Or a HELOC makes more sense?
@Keeya Malo are you currently living in the condo? Or is it an investment Property?
I currently live in the condo.
@Keeya Malo in your case I like #1. Keep the condo as a rental (your first). Then look opportunistically at future investment acquisitions.
By buying the less expensive house I think you will maximize appreciation. I think there is better chances for the "lower end" (I use that term loosely) SFH's in the valley to appreciate, as they are the last options available for many people. Thus the high demand for them will probably make them appreciate at a faster rate than the $3-4mil properties.
Secondly, you will have more money to invest, and also to save for a rainy day fund. For instance, you mention high salaries for your husband and you, but the stock component could change quickly, I'd think. So the 300k may be 150k another year. Correct me if I'm mis-assessing that.
Would not sell condo unless you feel the HOA outlook is very bad (i.e. big special assessments on the way).
You also benefit from lower financing cost on your primary condo - when you convert that to rental, the interest rate does NOT change - this gives you an advantage (in addition to P13 lockdown).
You have enough reserves to come down with a downpayment for a SFR in an up & coming area!
Those are some great points here. Appreciate your responses.
Selling the condo nets us approx $400k (conservative sale price & post expenses), that I feel allows us to buy two SFH that could give us the appreciation that the condo wont. What are your thoughts on that?
May be hold on to the cash until we find right investment opportunities?
In terms of our compensation, for me a 1/3 of it is in stocks and for my husband, it's about 50%.
The confusion is also on what kind of home to get right now, we don't necessarily need a big house nor a school district. Neither of us are looking for a finished house and location is key.
@Keeya Malo why sell the condo when you can take out a HELOC/2nd to get cash, and still keep the condo?
As for high end home now vs later, that's a tough one. Buy cheapie now, and you have more $$ to invest with. But price differential between high end home now vs future may be greater than cheaper home. May be offset if cheaper home is in improving hood, so as a percent it goes up more, even if it's base cost is lower. Personal decision imo. Either way is good.
Thanks @Amit M. It really helps put things in perspective. | 2019-04-18T15:42:15Z | null | 911.5 | 5,267 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Salve Regina is committed to attracting and assisting international students. International undergraduate applicants will be considered for merit scholarships automatically upon submitting an application and will compete with all other new students for merit awards.
Students applying by the recommended application deadlines will have a greater chance at receiving a scholarship award. Scholarships range in amounts from $5,000 to $18,000 and are renewable annually for four years if the student maintains eligibility.
Scholarships are awarded at the time of acceptance by the Scholarship Review Committee based on a review of a student's grades from secondary school, SAT or ACT scores (if submitted), TOEFL or IELTS scores and overall academic profile and curriculum.
With research and time, many international students may find outside sources of funding that can be applied to the cost of attending Salve Regina. Several examples are listed below. | 2019-04-21T05:14:20Z | null | 463.7 | 952 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
The US Air Force’s 480th Fighter Squadron sent 18 aircraft and 320 airmen from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany to sunny Portugal for three weeks this winter. Paulo Mata joined the ‘Warhawks’ at Monte Real.
At one time, Ukraine operated the second largest Su-27 fleet in the world; today it numbers 55 aircraft organised within two brigades. Vladimir Trendafilovski looks at the career of the supermanoeuvrable fighter that remains the backbone of the country’s air defences.
Though a number of air arms are in the process of phasing out their first-generation (F/A-18A through to D) Hornets, others are aiming to keep these ageing multirole fighters in service for some years to come. In the first of a two-part feature, Jon Lake looks at the US Navy and Marine Corps side of the ‘legacy’ story.
Last June, 28 Squadron of the South African Air Force celebrated its 75th anniversary. For 55 of those years, the unit has operated just one aircraft type – the C-130 Hercules. Traditionally a transport unit, today the squadron has a much more varied mission set, as Paul Dunn explains.
In the latest of AFM’s series of features celebrating the career of the Tornado GR as it nears the end of its RAF service, Thomas Newdick speaks to two of the final navigators to fly the ‘Tonka’ – Flt Lts Phil McGlone and Sam Baker.
The town of Kalamata is home to the Hellenic Air Force’s Air Training Wing, employing T-2 Buckeyes and T-6 Texan IIs. Dino van Doorn, Bas Stubert and Hans van der Wilt witnessed operations at the airfield.
When reports emerged earlier this year that the RAF was sending 100 pilots to be trained at a private flying academy, questions began to be asked about whether the service was getting value for money from its current aircrew training pipeline. Tim Ripley assesses the status of the UK’s Military Flying Training System project.
During the summer period – and the height of the firefighting campaign in Spain’s Balearic Islands – a single CL-215T of the air force’s 43 Grupo is deployed to Mallorca. Carlo Kuit and Paul Kievit caught up with a unit that’s increasingly in demand for firefighting tasks across the country.
After an 18-month break, the French carrier air wing was reunited with the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle which came out of refit last September. Henri-Pierre Grolleau joined them.
A succession of treaties, including ITAR, have attempted to restrict the export of US-built military hardware. But as Alan Warnes explains, there are many other options, and these can have a significant effect on the US military aerospace business.

Initially a research chemist, Peter Smith turned his hand to ceramics and started a pottery in Cornwall. He aims to combine the ‘feel’ of traditional earthenware with contemporary ideas and forms. The look of the jug suggests the way it has been made. The basic form was thrown on the wheel in a heavily grogged brown clay and you can see where the potter has used his hands to shape the material, pushing on the handle and pinching the clay between his thumb and forefinger. The jug has a rough texture to touch, yet it’s chocolaty brown colour, freely applied white slip decoration and smooth glazed interior give the work a sensual feel. | 2019-04-19T18:39:55Z | null | 358.1 | 640 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Hi folks, newbie here, first post and I'm asking for help, sorry!
Our T3 1.9DG, bought in May last year, has a noisy tappet on the right hand side of the engine.
On inspection, cylinder no. two exhaust valve, at TDC, was making no contact at all with the adjuster screw. There is some pitting in the screw and the stem seems okay but there's enough meat on the screw to adjust in two turns from 'light contact' even though the top of the screw is almost level with the top of the locknut.
However, and I think this is my problem, with the rocker assembly removed then pushing the pushrod towards the hydraulic lifter, the rod slowly springs back. The 'healthy' rods and lifters don't do this.
I'm pretty new to the water-cooled world and don't have any experience with these new fangled hydraulic thingies, so any help as to where I take it from here will be gratefully received!
Why do all my cars & bikes have girls' names? Coz in Sussex, everything's a she. 'Cept for a Tomcat. An' she's an 'ee!
Mate, thanks for the reply.
To cut a long story short, I eventually removed the lifter only to find it with no oil inside so yes, as you say, not properly pumped up. I've ordered the bits and pieces from BW and will put it all back together at the weekend. | 2019-04-18T15:34:19Z | null | 526 | 1,255 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Today, as more people than ever before have awakening experiences, there is a need to know how the light of unbounded being-ness can be embodied. The conversation offered in this panel discussion points to the inclusion of the earthly dimension of life – especially emotions – in awakened perception. And this inclusion is an ongoing exploration of honest feeling and “telling the truth” that is never-ending.
Amoda Maa is a spiritual teacher and author. Her teaching arises out of direct experience of awakened awareness and emanates the untamable fragrance of freedom whilst radically embracing the mystery and mess of human existence. She currently lives in the US and travels widely to offer Satsangs, Retreats & Private Meetings to a growing global community, as well as being a frequent guest speaker at conferences and events.
Susanne Marie has been interviewed on Conscious TV, Buddha at the Gas Pump, as well as other programs and is a regular presenter at the Science and Nonduality Conference. She provides spiritual mentoring support to people who are both seekers of truth as well as those who are now embodying and integrating realization. Susanne is a mother to two teens, and parents, teaches, and lives in Northern California. She holds an open hearted approach welcoming all aspects of Self to be seen and met in the heart.
T Jonathon Proctor is the creator of Being Real—Being Embodied. He works with individuals and groups to balance and integrate the “ascending” currents of awakening and the “descending” maturation of embodiment. T has a background in physical therapy and bodywork, Vipassana meditation and non-dual realization. His own journey, his work with others, and years of experience as a Hospice bereavement facilitator have inspired a deep appreciation for the individual narrative as a well of meaning; seeing self-understanding as powerful movement of compassion. His orientation arises out of a heartfelt knowing that every aspect of our human experience is essential to the process of Awakening and Self-realization.

Plateau state governor, Hon. Simon Bako Lalong has appointed BBNaija winner, Efe as the ambassador for entertainment and creative industry in the state. In a press statement signed by the Plateau state's director of press and public affairs, Emmanuel Nanle, the governor felicitated with Efe who grew up in Jos for winning the Big Brother reality show.
The Executive Governor of Plateau Sate, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong has congratulated Mr Michael Ejegba popularly known as ‘Efe’ on his emergence as the Winner of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) TV Reality Show.
According to the Governor, the victory of Efe is a further prove of the brotherhood, excellence, courage and determination that characterises the Plateau Spirit. It will be recalled that the Executive Governor had on Friday the 7th April, 2017 called on all Plateau Citizens to stand in solidarity with Efe by voting and mobilizing others to vote for the home grown Actor, who was at the verge of joining the team of successful Plateau Citizens who have won the TV Reality event in the past.
The Executive Governor is also using the opportunity of the Victory of Efe to call on all citizens of Plateau State, to ensure that the value they place on the common humanity of her citizens in a multi cultural and cosmopolitan setting, is always seen in the unity of purpose exhibited by all in the collective pursuit of a common goal. The Governor added that though Efe is by ethnic extraction from Delta State, Plateau is proud to lay claim to his entire life’s orientation having been groomed for excellence in life with the values that distinguish the Plateau person.
The Executive Governor in his commendation assured the people of Plateau and Delta States, that the success of Efe will provide the additional platform for the consolidation of the relationship between the people of the two States, which had existed right from the early Tin Mining days of the twentieth century.
The Governor has further confirmed that he will be receiving Efe as the newest Ambassador of the State in the entertainment and creative industry on his arrival from South Africa soon. | 2019-04-20T17:07:27Z | null | 357.7 | 2,123 | null | 0.730099 | [

This painting is about the Great Drought. Many years ago, there was a great drought and all water holes and most rivers were dried up, and our tribal people were going thirsty. So, our Elder (Wise man) called on Baiame (our God) to help our great hunter to find water and food.
So Baiame put powers into our great hunter and he went of to find water and food. He travelled many days before he found a waterhole with animals around it. So, the great hunter returned home and moved the tribe to the new waterhole and the tribe never went without water again.
The wiggly circles and circles within them is the desert. The patch dots are the trees and the sponge art represent the plants. The two circles with a wiggly line attaching them is a Bora Ring (tribal area). In the top right of the painting Baiame is the white figure of white colour and dots. The black man is the great Hunter. | 2019-04-21T14:30:05Z | null | 441.5 | 885 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Republican Comptroller Leslie Munger is forging ahead with plans to send out full paychecks to state workers Wednesday, despite an ongoing court battle over whether – and how much – public employees can be paid while state government operates without a budget.
Checks will go out to 6,800 employees who are due to be paid Wednesday for work performed in the first two weeks of the state’s budget year. Others in Illinois’ roughly 60,000-person state government workforce are on different pay schedules, and their checks aren’t due until later this month.
As Munger presses on with payroll, Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Monday asked the Illinois Supreme Court to weigh in after Chicago and Downstate judges handed out competing rulings on the matter last week.
Munger spokesman Rich Carter said the comptroller’s office views a Thursday ruling in St. Clair County to have cleared the way for paychecks to go out. That Downstate judge ruled in favor of 13 unions representing state employees who argued that not paying workers would be a breach of their collective bargaining agreements.
The decision contradicted an earlier order from a Cook County judge who said Munger should pay workers only the $7.25-per-hour federal minimum wage until Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly can agree on a spending plan for state government.
In that case, Madigan’s office had argued that the state should comply with federal labor laws during the budget impasse but does not have the authority to spend beyond that without a budget in place. The Cook judge agreed with Madigan, who is the daughter of Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, Rauner’s chief opponent in the budget battle at the Capitol.
Rauner, Munger and the unions appealed the Cook County decision, while Lisa Madigan appealed the St. Clair court’s ruling. On Monday, Madigan asked the state’s high court to take up both cases. | 2019-04-20T23:13:40Z | null | 385 | 1,916 | null | 0.259916 | [

Welcome to Esko Public Schools!
Please spend some time getting to know us through our web site. We provide a lot of information for parents, students, staff and community members here. If you don't see something you are looking for, please let us know. | 2019-04-24T02:07:29Z | null | 299.4 | 252 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Quakers have traditionally been against armed conflict.
Quakers have long looked to “good process” or “right order” in conducting our affairs.
A common Quaker failing, within meeting communities, is avoidance of conflict. Despite the value we claim to place on “plain speaking,” we often let the good order of the meeting slide because we are loath to confront our genuine and heartfelt differences.
I am happy to say that Betsy Raasch-Gilman and I, and some other Quakers like Michael Bischoff & George Lakey, have found a method –a way of understanding the world— that offers a way forward with ALL of these issues.
This method is evolving, is practiced around the globe and has different names and styles in different communities of practice.
Can continue toward our long-held goal of eliminating all wars, and dramatically reducing armed conflict of all sorts.
We can help bring good order—good process—to many situations, from conflicts over abortion rights and same-gender marriage to ethnic tensions and street-gang conflicts.
We can move to more lively and “truthful” ways of relating among ourselves. Whether it’s struggles over air conditioning the meetinghouse or offering sanctuary to people on the wrong side of the law, there are ways for our community to engage in mutually-acknowledging, HOT, transformative conflict.
It’s not that conflict is bad. The clash of roles and values among humans allows members of the community to see the world in new ways.
What’s bad is using violence or the threat of violence to stifle a person or a point of view. Heated conflict among persons is important for the persons and for the whole community. But how do we do it without shedding blood?
That ALL voices, all points of view need to be considered.
That important indicators of truth are found near at hand, in our bodily sensations and intuitions and in “chance” occurrences that seem to come out of the blue.
That we must respect we are part of a process that is always changing. A situation may be ugly, say poverty, or an act of public disrespect. If we are willing to engage with—to dance with—the situation, looking for the neglected or unexpressed voices… If we are willing to have faith that this ugly situation is part of a process—indeed, a world process—we can often be helpful in moving the situation to a better, “truer” place, where more of the people involved at least feel recognized and accepted, even if they are not fully satisfied with the new state of affairs.
⇛ There’s a cute 1.5 minute video of the concept, presented by originator Arnold Mindell on youtube.
⇛ There are Process Work communities and training centers in Portland, Oregon, Zürich, Switzerland, and many other places, including Israel/Palestine.
⇛ I am delighted to report that we now have in the Twin Cities skilled practitioners of the method who were trained in Portland, among other places.
Tom Esch is the founder of Creating Resolution, LLC, based in Minneapolis. He has masters degrees in conflict resolution work and in theology.
As peoples of 3rd and 4th world orientation we have witnessed firsthand the effect that war has on dividing communities. Therefore our work in the world is to manage conflict at its early stages, before it escalates to the magnitude of war.
Betsy and I were part of their January 2013 workshop. It was courageous. I could say a lot more, but what I say would depend on who I’m talking to. One thing that came out of it is a nice five-minute video on the home page that captures what they are trying to do.
⇛ There are perhaps 50 people in the Twin Cities area with significant familiarity with Process Work/ WorldWork, including several trainers in Training for Change, the organization Betsy is with.
Following the links already presented here will lead you to much more information. Google searches yield still more.
I have an introductory videotape of an extraordinary WorldWork session Betsy attended at Howard University some years ago. I’d be happy to show it and talk about it.
I’d love to present any of this material to Quaker groups around the area, in an Adult Education session or to an informal evening gathering.
I’ve started an emailing list for TC-area Quakers & friends of Quakers interested in Process Work / WorldWork / Deep Democracy. Please let me know if you’d like to be on it. | 2019-04-24T01:56:31Z | null | 348.8 | 4,332 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

great customer service..Patient and answered all questions.
Everytime I tried to reach this facility by phone they never answer their phones...if you leave messages they never returned your calls. I don&#39;t understand why they have such service if they don&#39;t use it. I had properties stolen from this storage and I called law enforcements and they believe it was an inside job. Can&#39;t wait to remove my belongings out of this storage. It&#39;s sad that you paid so much money but they don&#39;t give a ***** about their customers.
Great staff and the facility is clean and secure.
The staff was super helpful. Never had any problems.

it all started with 50 shades of grey. the movie. one of the longest movies i’ve seen in my life which had me choking on my popcorn when i wasn’t rolling my eyeballs over the exaggerated facial expression of ana, particularly when mr. grey touched her cheek on that very first day they met. (jeez. do women actually do that?!) frankly, i’m not crazy about the movie. i haven’t even read the book. never crossed my mind to do so. the only reason i found myself sitting there at dandenong reading cinemas the night before valentine’s day was ‘coz it was sort of like a family bonding with jeff’s cousins and friends. and also because of the popcorn.
i’m not exactly sure if the movie damaged a part of our brains (with jeff complaining to the barista and asking him if he had seen “fifty shades of GAY” while waiting for his drink) but one thing led to another and before you know it, we were suddenly making plans to celebrate valentine’s day with a little dinner here at home.
nothing fancy. just, you know, baked salmon and roasted chicken and fried pork and veggies and all that stuff you substitute for lechon for the simple fact that you’re not in the philippines anymore so lechon is out of the question. of course, as a salute to my newfound (and dare i say exceptional?) culinary skills, i made a significant contribution to the dinner table: mashed potatoes. very gourmet, i know. don’t hate me.
it was a very enjoyable dinner. somehow, even though i’m thousands of miles away from home, having jeff’s family around makes life here quite homey. they’re a loud bunch — sharing funny stories, mostly at nanay’s expense which she smiles off because she can barely hear. especially that. lol. but nanay is very well-loved. and i can’t help but love her too.
compared to his family, mine’s pretty much hush-hush. think quiet conversations while sipping on beer or wine, sharing ideas and opinions and thoughts about life. i know it all sounds boring (bordering on alcoholic) but that’s just how my family is and i love every moment of it. we’re kind of introverted like that. while jeff’s is more extroverted, minus the alcohol.
spent the rest of the night with the girls in the bathroom. trying to resuscitate my so-called makeup skills on these girls who offered to be my guinea pigs. truth be told, i haven’t been practicing on doing makeup for a very long time. it was particularly hard to do kb’s. my eyes gravitated more towards her chest than on her face. lol. lesbo alert.
meanwhile in the lounge room, the guys watched a dvd of the the transformers before we called it a night at around 1am.
p.s. apparently, stripes was the motif of the day. the others probably didn’t get the memo.
unfortunately, my “exceptional” culinary skills do not extend into gravies just yet so no gravy graced the dinner table that night. but it was, indeed, fun cooking together with the girls though. not to mention the makeup sesh after. hehe.
writing is always fun (when you don’t have a deadline to beat) so that makes it a very special v-day, i suppose. hehe.
I’ve read the first book of 50 Shades even I knew I would hate it because I have a principle that if I hate something there should be some basis. And yeah, the book delivered, it’s the most sickening book I’ve ever read and I’m not even going to waste my money on watching it in theaters.
Anyway, it seems like you guys had a happy Valentine. That’s really nice.
lol. don’t. it’s not really worth it. i don’t really understand all the hype surrounding the book, to be honest. although if i really want to understand it, i might have to read them all. which i won’t so let’s just leave it at that.
i like your principle about hating with basis. reminds of investigative journalism, for some reason. i don’t know why. hehe. | 2019-04-19T17:02:33Z | null | 454.2 | 3,776 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

One of the most frequently used – but least understood – terms used in our industry is “tune-up”.
A few decades ago, vehicles required frequent mechanical tuning to keep them operating optimally. Over time, “tune-up” became a common way of saying “make my car run better”.
In today’s electronically-controlled vehicles, however, a tune-up is very different. Many of the mechanical adjustments we made in older cars are now made by your vehicle’s onboard computer.
So when we talk about a tune-up at Lowell’s, we mean changing your vehicle’s spark plugs and, when appropriate, your fuel filter and engine air filter.
A spark plug converts an incoming electrical charge into a spark which ignites the mixture of air and fuel that powers your car’s engine. The spark jumps between two electrodes at the end of the plug, creating the controlled explosion that drives an internal combustion engine.
Spark plugs can wear out. Each spark burns off tiny bits of metal on the electrodes, and after hundreds of millions of sparks, the spark plug doesn’t fire as efficiently. Spark plugs can also become coated with residue (‘fouled’) if your fuel doesn’t burn cleanly.
The electrodes for Toyota plugs (made by Denso) are plated with different highly conductive metals: nickel, platinum, or iridium. The type of metal used determines how long the spark plug lasts: Nickel-plated spark plugs typically last for 30,000 miles; Platinum for 60,000; and Iridium for 120,000 miles.
When we do a tune-up at Lowell’s, we remove and inspect your old spark plugs to see whether there are any issues other than normal wear. We replace them with new spark plugs, adjusting the gap between electrodes when necessary. If needed, we’ll also replace the fuel filter and engine air filter.
Feel free to call the shop with any questions, and – if it is time for a tune-up or other service for your vehicle – to make an appointment for service. | 2019-04-18T20:57:38Z | null | 363 | 1,914 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

For the second year in a row, honour plaques were stolen off their flagpoles along the riverfront.
According to organizers, ten were taken sometime overnight Wednesday.
Plaques also went missing during last years display prompting organizers to install surveillance cameras at the site this year, and they hope to catch those responsible.
The flags and plaques were unveiled on September 22nd as part of a project with Veterans Voices of Canada. Each flag is representing a Canadian who was killed or has gone missing during the Boer war and war in Afghanistan.
Just to be safe, the remaining plaques were removed on Thursday by organizers, but the flags remain up. | 2019-04-19T16:51:57Z | null | 406 | 695 | null | 0.207194 | [

This sefira season we were fortunate again to get another edition of Ari Goldwag’s “A Capella Soul” series. This songs unless otherwise noted were composed by Ari Goldwag. Some of them he sang himself on other albums, some were Sheves Chaverim songs, some he composed for other artists, and others are brand new.
This CD is somewhere an “in between” as far as a capella CDs. That is to say there are some a capella CDs that sound almost exactly like music, and there are others that make no attempt to sound like music and instead rely on harmonizing (like the Kumzitz in the Rain CDs, Miami Around the Campfire, etc.) Ari Goldwag does use his voice to do melodies and rhythm, and he claps for percussion, but there is no mistaking this for music. In that he reaches a good balance that allows him to make more upbeat songs while still sounding a capella.
Ari Goldwag is a brilliant composer, and I’ve always thought underrated, but thankfully he is getting more and more recognition these days. He also has a beautiful voice and a knack for matching songs with other artists. His son Moshe Dov is featured on numerous songs, and each album he is on he sounds better and better and is developing into quite the star in his own right. I still wait for the day that a father-son Goldwag album comes out- there’s almost enough songs already at this point. Hint, hint!
This upbeat song was composed for the honor of Ari Goldwag’s daughter, Naama. It was a clever choice as the lyrics use both the words “Noam” and “Orah”. Throughout the song, he sounds as though he genuinely has a big smile on his face in a non-stop clap-along song.
Ari Goldwag and the very talented Michoel Pruzansky sing this beautiful slow song together. The mood is more serious and prayerful, and this song like the last one makes me appreciate how much feeling is put into each song. The background “music” in this song is more simple, which I generally prefer, sometimes sounding just like harmonies. Some beautiful notes are hit in this song by both singers.
This song is a duet between Ari Goldwag and Ian FreitorI am not sure how I haven’t heard this song before, but I love it. Its a fun yet gentle song that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and it works remarkably well in a capella version (though of course the music version will always bring something special). This is one of my favorites on the album and I am anxious to listen to the other version once I can. I keep the second half, so when writing this, I still have a bit more time without music.
Wow, where have I been? I seem to have missed another very good album by a new artist. This is one I plan to buy in a few days… Micha Gamerman is from Brazil, and at least in this song sings with a Sephardi accent. The song is in Ivrit and the lyrics are by Ari Goldwag, Miriam Israeli, Yitzy Berry, and Micha Gamerman. I love how Ari Goldwag’s voice goes with Micha Gamerman’s …Goldwag has a more smooth slightly higher voice and Micha’s has a bit of gravel to it. Awesome song and another one of my favorite’s on the album.
This song is sung here by Benny Friedman, Ari Goldwag, and Moshe Dov Goldwag. I loved Ari Goldwag and Benny Friedman’s collaboration on the last A Capella soul via Am Echad, Min Hameitzar. Moshe Dov is a wonderful addition to the duet and this is hands down my favorite song on the album. Beautiful, stirring, and one I hope to hear around Shabbos tables. Lehisaneg is not a song I hear often anyway- maybe it is more common in other circles- so I hoep that this tune can make it more popular and have the same effect as Ari Goldwag’s “Kah Ribon”.
This song was from one of Ari Goldwag’s quite a while back, the same album that brought us “Aleinu”. Its another upbeat but laid back song. I especially like the background vocals on this song and think it was a good choice to revamp in a new style.
This song is in honor of one of Ari Goldwag’s other daughter’s, Tziporah. In contrast to Vihi Noam, its a very slow, delicate moving song. Vocally, this is one of hte best songs on the album, and it is overall an enjoyable pleasant listen.
Here’s a throwback! An awesome father-son duet on this beautiful English song. What a neat choice. I love this song and this version is great.
So happy to have this song featured here! This was my favorite song from Sheves Chaverim. Its super catchy and a great sing-along and I can’t get enough of either version. I will say that I thought less “music” could have been added to this; it sounds a little cluttered because there was already the clapping and the “oOooOoo” by the boys.
From a happy fun song we go to a deep, serious song. This sounds like we are getting a direct glimpse into Ari Goldwag’s tefillos. Besides Lishuascha, which is more mid-tempo, this is probably my favorite slow song on the album. Just gorgeous.
If you haven’t heard this song…where have you been!?! This is version 3.0; a capella of course, and a mix of Ari Goldwag and Sheves Chaverim, and a mix of English and Hebrew. Even will make you move in the a capella version. Such a fun song and a great way to end the album … until next time!
In short, another quality production by Ari Goldwag who never disappoints. Great compositions and vocals and excellent choices of people to join him. Worth a listen even when “real” music allowed. | 2019-04-19T16:54:02Z | null | 335.1 | 5,323 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
A grape varietal most notably known as Gamay, used in the production of red wine, originating in the Beaujolais region of France. The grape is also grown in Austria and the United States (CA). Gamay varietal wines that are not produced in the Beaujolais region are labeled “Gamay”. Wines that are produced in the Beaujolais region from the Gamay varietal are typically labled “Beaujolais”. Although there are many grape varietals grown in California given the name Gamay, none are the true Gamay of France's Beaujolais region. Traditionaly, Gamay is a 100% varietal, though it is increasingly being used as a blend in Beaujolais regional wines.
