I guess now we’re all supposed to understand that Rush Limbaugh was “just making a joke” and the real misogynists are those nasty liberals. Michelle Malkin uses this point to castigate President Obama for calling Ms. Fluke, as a means of “inserting himself” into the fray, and then goes on to describe how nasty liberals have called her and other conservative women horrible names which she claims are worse than being called a slut, but actually aren’t, at least not in my nomenclature. Being called a “female impersonator” is petty and, I’m sure, hurtful, but it’s a different epithet hurled at somebody in a much more powerful position than Ms. Fluke.
I think I’d be pretty safe in saying that Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer have been called horrible things by misguided people on the right. I don’t have time to assemble the litany Malkin does, as I don’t have a staff of assistants. But–my God, people–have you not seen what commenters have called both Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin alike?
Let’s suffice to say that I’d prefer a political discourse where–let’s just get wild and crazy here for a second–we don’t use ad hominem at all, let alone the basest and most vulgar forms?
As to Rush, if that was a joke, grow the hell up, dude. That stuff is unattractive at best and evil at worst in 16 year-old men, let alone old farts like us who ought to know better.
What I find utterly shocking is the blatant racism directed at Malkin in the ad hominem attacks on her, and which she doesn’t seem to acknowledge as such. I pretty much have never agreed with her, but there is a lot in the vitriol directed at her that occurs because she hasn’t been everybody’s compliant little Asian doll. While she is a public figure, and those of us who put ourselves out there know that we’re going to get our licks, racism and sexism should named for what they are. She deserves to be able to express her ideas without having her humanity and identity degraded.
And while Malkin wants to castigate Barack Obama, the truth is, he’s always been a complete gentlemen as far as I can tell. I was a Hilary voter until the end of the deal, and even so, I had to admit that even when he was criticizing her politics, he treated her with decency and respect. So, too, John McCain, even though his personal life hasn’t always been so nicey-nice. | <urn:uuid:b10c3b48-4695-467f-9e9e-a7518c715ea1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lisaschweitzer.com/2012/03/08/michelle-malkin-and-racism-directed-towards-asian-women/ | 2020-09-22T11:07:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.975272 | 571 |

Sam was expelled from school! It was a very beautiful day, he was seen off to school by his father who was happy that his son was finally going to achieve more than he could. He had just gotten to class when he met the bully of the class bullying his friend. Sam was angry but he walked to his seat and sat down. Nobody really wanted to confront him because his father was a part of the school board.
The bully continued his torture until Sam had had enough, he stood up to the boy and they ended up fighting. The board decided to expel Sam for starting the fight and creating a ruckus while the other boy was let off with a warning and suspension. Sam’s father wasn’t happy about the situation but there was only so much he could do.
Sam moved on with his life until he got caught up in another trouble. A theft happened at his place of work, his master refused to believe he wasn’t the culprit since he was supposed to close the shop. He tried to prove his innocence to no avail. His master didn’t hesitate to have him jailed for theft and burglary. His father’s weak heart could not bear the tragedy the second time so it gave up and his father died.
Throughout his time in jail, he blamed himself for the death of his father.
Few years down the line, Sam was out of jail and he started his own business. He loved fashion and everything that came with it, he could also design too, so he started from scratch. It wasn’t easy and there was a lot of competition but he kept doing it. He met an old friend who asked him why he started a fashion business. He replied, “I want to be the best in the whole country.” His friend laughed hard and called him a dreamer. He reminded him that he had no proper education and worse, he was an ex-convict nobody would trust him.
He refused to be discouraged. He took pride in the fact that he could do better with his life than remain idle. He didn’t allow what the people around him say to stop him from moving on. Because of his past, Sam lost a lot of investors and customers. His competitors used it against him to get his customers on their side. It affected business a lot and he had to start again.
Sam kept learning from similar businesses around him, the more he grew, the more his dreams grew bigger. He kept seeing all the reasons why he could be whoever he wants to be. After a while, he regained lost customers, and much more, his hopeless business started to boom and people wondered what had happened.
Five years after the start of his fashion business, he already had more branches in part of the country, he had been recommended to the influential people in society. He had left behind people who he met in the business and he was fishing in the international seas. People were shocked because they all expected him to have given up.
During an interview, Sam was finally able to talk about his past and how he refused to let it drag him down, he mentioned how his father died untimely and how he couldn’t do anything about it. He encouraged people to never give up on their dreams because they have a horrible past or they are experiencing difficulties, he encouraged people to never be ashamed of their dreams and how big they are.
A few years later, Sam achieved his dream of being the best in the country but by then he had a bigger dream, he would try and take over the world.
Writer: Empress_Writes (Esther Ayoola) | <urn:uuid:66db42f3-caa3-4c7e-9912-49ba7a654458> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://myinnerawesomeness.com/2020/08/18/dream-big/ | 2020-09-22T10:38:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.9969 | 749 |
A client of mine was recently admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and was in the intensive care ward receiving a course of strong antibiotics. A physician calling me to ask about my client said “well she’s 94”. My response to the physician was, “yes she is 94 and she deserves care and medical treatment.” How many medical providers see older adults as old and as disposable?
The “Re-Hospitalization” act in the Affordable Care Act penalizes hospitals for re-admissions due to pneumonia, heart conditions and a number of other categories. In my opinion this part of the Act makes it more difficult for older adults to receive care and easier for physicians to deny care from a self-serving point of view – avoiding financial penalties for the hospitals by whom they are employed.
This particular client had been healthy up until recently and I was confident that if she received treatment she would recover and be able to return to her assisted living community. The physician would just as soon as given a death sentence to my client. She even went to the point of arguing with me about my role as guardian and legal decision maker. Knowing more about my client than this physician, I was not about to bow, like many family members would, to a physician who saw herself as an authority on my 94 year old client.
How many older adults lose their lives daily because they are viewed as disposable by physicians in hospitals or other professional settings? My guess is that the numbers are mounting each day. Family caregivers, intimidated by physicians and other professionals, fail to speak up or to advocate for loved ones. Family caregivers are uncertain about the questions that should be asked and due to a lack of experience are unaware of options.
Healthcare advocacy is badly needed for our older adults and for all individuals with health conditions – whether simple or complicated. Admittedly we’ve become a society who would rather take a pill rather than exercise, lose weight or stop smoking. Physicians have become jaded and disappointed by individuals who will not make positive health changes. But this doesn’t mean that all patients fall into this classification and it doesn’t mean that just because someone is old and sick they can be written off as undeserving of healthcare.
Family caregivers must learn to advocate for themselves and family members who need care. The Caring Generation website offers a free subscription to valuable articles, videos and podcasts in over 30 categories. Click here to visit the Advocacy Category and to become a subscriber to information that supports family caregivers.
Professional advocates, like myself, exist to support families in situations where healthcare professionals seem to discount or ignore the desires of family. Many times difficulties arise because healthcare professionals are unable to explain issues in simple language or they assume family members understand. In other situations healthcare professionals are limited to their “world” whether this be a hospital or a nursing home and do not have expertise or experience of the outside world of services to support caregivers and older adults living at home.
Information about services and assistance for families is available on my company website The Care Navigator. Also on this website are videos about common experiences of family caregivers and information about my upcoming book in 2015 called The Caregiving Trap. The role of caregiving is often unexpected – both caregivers and care recipients feel trapped at times by situations out of their control. Constraints of the healthcare system often result in care recipients feeling trapped because options seem limited.
By becoming more educated about options and learning to advocate, caregivers and care recipients can reduce feelings of overwhelm and feeling trapped by situations that may feel out of control. It is important as a caregiver to realize that you know more about your loved one than anyone else (or hopefully you do). Do not allow others to sway your opinion when you doubt their recommendations. Be the squeaky wheel and ask questions. How many of you remember the old television series Columbo? Sometimes it takes a little investigative reporting to arrive at the right answers and solutions for a care situation. Be persistent. | <urn:uuid:9c546403-6303-40f1-bc69-730165bb9f31> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pameladwilson.com/older-adults-viewed-as-disposable-by-medical-providers/ | 2020-09-22T09:55:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.974714 | 815 |

Ralph Waldo Emerson once noted that “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn”.
Often the simplest, everyday objects not only have the power to grow, reproduce, and transform in the cycle of the seasons, they also offer themselves as subjects for making art. Walking through the woods, a nearby park or even your own yard provides great inspiration and opportunity for developing your drawing skills. Through pencil, charcoal and other black and white media will we experience the subtle to not so subtle transitions from summer to fall.
We will begin with projects to learn and strengthen our skills as observers and artists. We will review the elements of art that include line, value, shape, space and composition. Students are encouraged to use photos or actual items from your own yard or those that have already “surrendered” themselves to the ground. The more simple, ordinary and every day the better! We will also take inspiration from artwork by well known artists, past and present, that celebrate the many wonders of the natural world.
Beginners as well as those of all levels of skills and/or experience are welcome! This will be an online class which will require familiarity with Zoom. | <urn:uuid:33ab5e2b-a469-423e-b0b1-be370d3c8430> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://public.essexartcenter.org/web/selectedclass/Drawing+the+Changing+of+the+Seasons/206 | 2020-09-22T10:02:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.959209 | 243 |
We view major challenges that cities struggle with as opportunities. We see densification, migration, logistics, vacancy, shrinkage, changing socio-economic profiles, food supply, new work environments and redevelopment as the breeding ground for new urban strategies and concepts. Strategies and concepts that go beyond bricks, and rather speak about the social and economic future of a piece of city and the intricate ecosystems that the spatial domain can facilitate.
Our strategies and concepts start from a combination of social and economic perspectives and are developed at the intersection of different disciplines because urban development goes beyond only real estate development. In our concepts we combine social and economic perspectives and collaborate at the intersection of different disciplines to enable urban development that goes beyond only real estate development. Within Ravenkop we bring extensive experience in urban development together with strategic focus from strategy consulting, supplemented by a diverse network within and outside the real estate sector for a multidisciplinary perspective.
We believe in a solid foundation. We therefore reduce matter to the core after which we creatively construct holistic, clear and well-founded strategies and concepts. We translate these strategies and concepts into workable implementation agendas that can be deployed from an organizational and real estate development perspective.
The complexity of urban issues is our home turf; we work the full scope of scale levels ranging from regional to ground level. We develop our own concepts, provide advice, temporarily strengthen a team or transform an idea that has not yet flourished into a clear concept with a deliberate strategy. | <urn:uuid:74aad76e-a589-4f78-bdac-53196dca77f9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ravenkop.com/en/we-are-ravenkop/ | 2020-09-22T10:01:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.918142 | 295 |

Accuracy and Interferences for Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay Tests for Atrazine
Atrazine is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the United States, therefore it is a regulatory concern and is extensively monitored in the environment, especially in drinking water. Because of the higher costs of gas chromatography (GC) methods, utility managers and regulators are considering the increased use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods for monitoring atrazine. an ELISA test kit was recently approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency. the research in this article points out potential biases and inaccuracies that may occur with such test kits. ELISA test kits for atrazine are typically precise (repeatable) but often have a tendency for a positive bias from unknown interferences. Negative biases are also observed in some cases, which suggest a lower atrazine concentration than is actually present. the results of this research can help utilities and regulators to better determine the best use of ELISA versus GC methods for analyzing atrazine with respect to monitoring and/or process control.

By Katie Lyles, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Katie Lyles, who teaches third graders in Colorado, was a student at Columbine during the massacre 14 years ago.
(CNN) - At 16, my innocence was shattered when two gunmen murdered 13 people at my school and wounded countless others.
Columbine High School promised to be a safe and secure place of learning. And that promise was broken on April 20, 1999.
On that morning, I headed to school worried about my 10th grade math test and my upcoming track meet. Useless worries: The test was never given and we never held the meet.
Scars remain from that day that no one can see. Scars that made my worries about math tests or track performance pale in comparison to whether my science partner would live or whether my classmate's speech would be impaired by the shrapnel lodged in his skull. Today, those mental scars throb in large crowds and force me to scan the room for exits. They make my heart beat faster when I hear the blades of a helicopter overhead.
Now, as a teacher in my eighth year in the classroom, I consider every day that I go to work a privilege. I cherish my students' joy and enthusiasm, and most importantly, their innocence.
I believe that it is our job, as a society, to protect these virtues in our young people. I want them to be worried about math tests and track meets and about science fairs and student council elections - the kind of normal school stuff that builds character. But our epidemic of gun violence is creating a culture of fear in our schools, where students are anxious about safety and intruders. These are worries no student should have.
This becomes even more apparent when we conduct our monthly emergency drill at our school. It's a way to be prepared for the worst, so we practice lockdowns, fire drills and evacuations.
The other day, I was explaining to my third graders that we were going to practice a lockdown just in case a bear happened to be on the playground - a real scenario for our Colorado school. I have used this example my entire teaching career because it's an easy and nonthreatening reason to practice a lockdown.
One girl raised her hand and asked: "Is this what we would do if a bad guy came with a gun to hurt us?" | <urn:uuid:ea2a7434-a70d-4773-9c4e-1ddb837dac41> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://schoolsofthought.blogs.cnn.com/2013/04/23/columbine-survivor-no-child-should-worry-about-gunmen/ | 2020-09-22T11:49:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.972102 | 480 |
What is Senedd Home?
A weekly magazine-style blog focused on Welsh politics and current affairs, the latest news and developments from the Welsh Government and the Senedd/Welsh Parliament. The author is Owen Donovan.
Why was Senedd Home set up?
For a full and detailed account of how the site is produced, read How Senedd Home Works.
There’s a lack of coverage of domestic politics – a situation long been dubbed the “democratic deficit”.
Like it or loathe it, the Senedd and Welsh Government spend £15billion of our money every year and are directly responsible for many key public services (outlined at Devolution Explained).
On the old Oggy Bloggy Ogwr I developed a reputation for depth and detail, but on Senedd Home, this will shift to a breadth of coverage. That means a greater number of articles but they’ll be shorter and to the point with little to no commentary. People don’t really need depth, they need to be aware of what’s happening in the first place.
Can you run through the post categories?
- Best of the Blogs – Links to some of the best stories from the Welsh political blogosphere and our political journalists over the last week.
- Brexit & External Affairs – Stories relating to Brexit and foreign policy matters including immigration, promoting Wales abroad, trade and major world events.
- Communities & Housing – Here you’ll find the latest news and discussion on local government, regeneration and housing-related issues.
- Criminal Justice & Public Safety – Policing, prisons and criminal justice are non-devolved, but when it is discussed you’ll find it here. This category also includes stories relating to the fire service/fire safety and things like crime prevention and the creation of new criminal offences within Welsh law.
- Culture, Media & Sport – All articles relating to the Welsh language, heritage, sport, broadcasting policy and both the media and entertainment industry – some of which is devolved.
- Democracy & Constitution – Articles about the future of the UK (including Welsh independence), devolution itself, technical matters relating to Welsh law as well as proposals for electoral reform.
- Economy & Transport – Articles covering the road network, public transport, infrastructure, business, employment and economic development policy.
- Editorial – Opinion pieces on major talking points in Welsh politics and society.
- Education – Anything relating to schools, the curriculum, qualifications, apprenticeships/training and universities.
- Environment, Energy & Rural Affairs – All articles relating to the environment, climate change, the use and stewardship of natural resources (i.e. forestry services), farming, fishing and energy.
- Equality & Social Justice – Matters relating to minority, marginalised and protected groups (i.e. the disabled, the homeless, carers), human rights, campaigns against unjust decisions made by governments at all levels as well as efforts to reduce inequality in Wales.
- Finance – Articles regarding budgets at Welsh and local level, spending decisions, tax and spending on devolved public services.
- First Minister – All posts relating to the First Minister including First Minister’s Questions, debates and statements made by the First Minister and issues relating to the Cabinet and machinery of government in Wales (i.e. cabinet reshuffles).
- Health & Social Services – Articles relating to public health, the NHS and social care.
- Hot Button – Specially-selected articles and video clips which cover or discuss highly controversial or hotly-debated issues within Welsh politics and society.
- Senedd Bites – A brief weekly roundup of assorted minor stories.
- The Lobby – News relating to internal party political matters (leadership challenges etc.), political gossip, disciplinary matters and any story about the Senedd or UK Parliament as institutions.
- Video – Clips of key moments from inside the Senedd chamber and its committees as well as other videos from the Welsh Government.
When will new posts be published?
Senedd Home will be updated throughout the week when the Senedd is in session – usually on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. There’ll be no updates during half term recesses, Christmas, Easter or summer recesses.
Major breaking stories will be covered immediately wherever possible.
How do I make sure I don’t miss an update?
Follow Oggy Bloggy Ogwr on social media (more details here), or sign up by email for the newsletter (at the top of the left-hand sidebar). Newsletters will contain all posts from each update in one place and will be sent out to subscribers every Thursday during term time. | <urn:uuid:3fdc5f71-a4dc-4adf-a3f8-ae160a4c636e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://seneddhome.com/introduction/ | 2020-09-22T10:15:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.904955 | 964 |

Once upon a time, about 2 weeks ago, a family moved from Philadelphia to the coastal town of Portland. Since the father’s new work would only pay for a U-Haul (*NOT MOVERS*), the family schlepped all their belongings the best they could in the back of a 26 Ft truck.
The youngest daughter’s beloved goldfish were of course making the trip too,
safely snuggled inside the *protective glass cocoon* of their aquarium.
The family’s trip began swimmingly, fueled by gasoline and a dozen Dunkin Donuts. But round about Marlborough Massachusetts, the mother – driving behind the U-Haul in the family car – began to notice water dripping from the back of the truck. Frantically, she tried calling the father. But the deafening road noise of the uncomfortable U-Haul thwarted her attempts for MILES. By the time the father realized what had happened, the family was nearly to Maine. And soon they were there, opening the back of the truck and confirming their worst fears. The aquarium had indeed shattered and was completely devoid of water. The little girl was devastated.
Until Goldfish #1 was found… ALIVE!!!!!!! After two hours without water, being jostled at the bottom of a glass-laden fish tank, Lil’ Blackie was still clinging to life! The father whisked him TOUT DE SUITE upstairs to the (relative) safety of the only bowl available in the apartment BESIDES THE TOILET. The dog’s food dish. Although shaken just this side of the pearly gates and visibly worse for the wear, miracle fish BLACKIE was still gulping for breath and rallying as each moment passed.
BUT. what of the SECOND FISH>?? What about _SUNNY_?!
Do not lose heart, friends. Despite the fact that Disney did NOT write this one, there still remains a happy ending. Although the initial search for Sunny proved fruitless, and the family believed they would stumble upon her lifeless body beneath one of the soggy boxes, that’s NOT WHAT HAPPENED>. No. B/c as the mother attempted to lift the shattered remains of the aquarium out of the truck, Sunny POPPED out of the inner workings of a DECORATIVE PAGODA!!
Everyone GASPED! And the father squealed like a girl as he giddily ran the fish upstairs. Although Sunny appeared to have survived a blender cycle on Frappe, she was otherwise just fine. After being transferred to the red thermos cooler overnight, by the next afternoon, both fish were pronounced Stunned, but Swimming. And by the following day, they’d been upgraded to STABLE and safely relocated to their new home.
Not so unlike the rest of the family. | <urn:uuid:f75f62eb-7bf6-44be-8394-d0b7ff951d16> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thedailydish.me/2009/04/06/like-a-fish-out-of-water/ | 2020-09-22T10:49:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.971693 | 595 |
December has no scarcity of reasons to drink and celebrate. At the Nosara Craft Beer Festival, the argument to drink beer carries weight because with each beverage purchased, you will be helping Nosara Animal Care, an organization that protects animals.
Now in its second year, the festival takes place tomorrow, Dec. 10, from 4-10 p.m., and is organized by Nosara Animal Care and the sports bar Solo Bueno (Playa Guiones).
According to board member Jennifer Simmons, last year’s fest helped raise more than $4,000 to fund animal-rescue programs, school awareness campaigns and spay and neuter programs.
And the Beer?
Five craft beer companies are participating this year: La Selva, Volcano Brewing Company, Angry Goats Brewery, Domingo 7 and Costa Rica’s Craft Brewing Company.
Beers sold in 8-ounce glasses cost ¢1,500, and large, 16-ounce mugs cost ¢3,000.
VIP tickets are sold out, but there are plenty of general admission tickets left at ¢10,000 each, which includes a festival cup and five raffle tickets. This year more than 25 prizes will be raffled off, ranging from dinners at restaurants to surf lessons. Admission tickets can be purchased the day of the event at the festival.
The festival also will have live music provided by the band The Peladas Dog and guest DJs. Plus, Mexican restaurant El Chiva will be selling food, with profits donated to the cause. | <urn:uuid:e9f7e4be-775f-4a9a-bc25-43daf5f3ab01> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://vozdeguanacaste.com/en/show-up-collaborate-and-drink-this-saturday-at-the-nosara-craft-beer-fest/ | 2020-09-22T10:10:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.931699 | 319 |

You can program many different workouts on your treadmill, whatever your objective may be: to stay healthy, lose weight, or work off some stress.
To begin, you can choose a slow walk, a brisk walk, jogging, and running, alternating between them or changing the tilt angle.
Before beginning, stand erect with your head high and your shoulders lined up with your hips. While walking, keep your arms soft and relaxed; bend them while jogging, as you do when running.
Ready to go? Here are a few exercises you can do easily based on different requirements.
To improve health and release stress
Among its many advantages, approximately 30 minutes of light exercise 3 times a week improves heart function, helps mineralize the bones, helps metabolize sugars, and loosens muscle and psychological tension.
– start with 5 minutes walking at an easy pace;
– start walking briskly, at about 6-8 km/hr for 10-15 minutes;
– continue walking briskly for another 5-10 minutes, slightly increasing the tilt of the treadmill (up to 5% maximum);
– end with 5 minutes of easy walking.
To lose weight and tone your muscles
Your body begins to use fats after the first 15-20 minutes of aerobic exercise: 3 weekly sessions of 40 minutes will help you gradually lose excess weight and better maintain the results you achieve over time:
– begin with a brisk walk at 5.5 km/hr for about 10 minutes;
– move on to a gentle run at 6-8 km/hr for about 20-25 minutes;
– end with 5-10 minutes walking at a slow pace to relax your muscles. | <urn:uuid:ad613453-ea2b-4c1e-8f7c-336dd2a96739> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wellness.vivendo.com.mt/training-treadmill/ | 2020-09-22T11:17:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.907542 | 343 |
Driver's licenses for undocumented benefit citizens too: Nava
When driving, the goal is to get to your destination safely. Nothing else matters. Everyone wants to get home without harm. And in the event of an accident, we want all parties involved to be insured.
Legislation allowing New Jersey residents — regardless of immigration status — to be tested, trained, licensed, insured, and accountable for their driving record should be seen as an opportunity to improve road safety for all and not as an erroneous privilege for some.
Think about it. When you are driving, does it matter where the person driving next to you was born? It shouldn’t, so long as they know how to drive and are adequately insured in case there’s an accident. But until undocumented drivers have an opportunity to be properly tested and licensed, we cannot make those assumptions.
The May 14 column by Asbury Park Press editorial page editor Randy Bergmann, "Equity for undocumented inequitable for citizens," fails to realize that undocumented immigrants already drive alongside us on New Jersey’s roads and highways. Bergmann gives three reasons for opposing an expansion of driver’s license eligibility: security, fraud, and equity. It is for these same reasons that New Jersey should expand access to driver’s licenses, as it will make our roads more secure, protect against fraud, and ensure all drivers are treated fairly under the law.
For New Jerseyans who care about safe and secure roads, denying undocumented immigrants proper identification is counterproductive. Unless all drivers have a license, how can law enforcement definitively identify drivers they pull over or come in contact with at the scene of an accident? And in the case of an accident, licensed drivers are more likely to cooperate with police, as there is less incentive for a driver to flee from the scene. These problems are less likely to exist in states where all who drive — regardless of status — have licenses, which is precisely why New Jersey should join 12 states and Washington, D.C., in expanding driver’s license eligibility.
The Department of Motor Vehicle would require official documents to prove age, name and residence that would be verified to obtain a limited license for driving an identification purpose. These limited licenses would not be accepted as adequate ID to get on an airplane, obtain benefits or verify employment credentials.
To insinuate that undocumented immigrants are being treated the same as citizens, when in fact they will be getting a different license, is inaccurate and dangerously misleading. To be clear, if this policy becomes law, undocumented immigrants would have to take the same written and driving test as U.S. citizens, but would only be issued a limited license. What about this is unfair to citizens?
Finally, the column enforces an “us-versus-them” mentality that falsely presumes U.S. citizens must be losing their rights if undocumented immigrants are granted access to driver’s licenses. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The fear of the “other” is being used to further marginalize people who are already on the edges of American society.
Bergmann is correct that being a U.S. citizen does mean something; it means we have values to treat others with dignity and respect. Undocumented immigrants are our neighbors, and they already share the road with us, like it or not. While we may not all agree on federal immigration policies, that should not stop us from coming together in supporting expanded access to driver’s licenses, as it will make our roads safer for us all.

The artist first sculpts in soft wax; then makes a rubber mold of the wax model. From the rubber mold he creates multiple wax impressions of the original.
Each wax impression is encased in a ceramic shell and placed in an oven; with temperatures exceeding fifteen hundred degrees, the wax melts rapidly. The ceramic shell is packed in sand and molten bronze is poured into the shell.
When the bronze cools, the ceramic shell is broken. The bronze casting is then finished with meticulous handwork to capture and enhance every detail of the original wax model.
Bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) first appeared in the Near East toward the end of the fourth millennium B.C. There exists no definitive record of when the lost wax method of casting was invented.
The earliest users of this method began with a clay core roughly in the shape of the subject to be sculpted. The core was then covered with wax, and the wax was sculpted into the finished form. When the wax hardened, it in turn was covered with clay.
The entire object was fired, hardening the clay and melting the wax. The space vacated by the wax was then filled with molten bronze. When the bronze cooled and hardened, the clay was removed from outside and inside. The bronze object was then cleaned and polished by hand.
The basic principle of the lost wax method of casting remains unchanged, although many new techniques and refinements have been developed. The most significant development was the introduction of an intermediate mold from which multiple wax models are made.
Cast bronze is a permanent medium. Archaeologists have unearthed bronze artifacts buried thousands of years.

Jerry was born in Pasadena, California. At nine years of age he and his family moved to Savannah Georgia where he spent the majority of his formative years. Being a high school football player offered him the opportunity to play at the college level at Trinity International in Deerfield, Illinois. After several injuries the Lord providentially took away the desire to play football and replaced it with a desire for ministry.
After years of wrestling with whether or not he should pursue vocational ministry the Lord sent him to Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi to pursue a Masters of Divinity. During his four years of training he spent the summer of 2018 interning at Christ Presbyterian Church. This eventually, in God’s providence, turned into a call to serve as an Assistant Pastor as well as starting a college ministry at Southern Connecticut State University.
Some of his passions are: traveling, spending time in nature such as hiking, kayaking and camping. Reading fiction and non-fiction, theology, philosophy, apologetics and science books are a joy and a delight to him. Using these various genres, along with sports and nature are tools he uses to disciple and point people to Jesus Christ. | <urn:uuid:41ddfc86-7059-4cf3-94cb-4f67897559ef> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cpcnewhaven.org/jerry-ornelas | 2020-09-22T10:13:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.978464 | 240 |
You are supposed to brush your teeth twice a day everyday and visit your dentist at least once a year. You are also supposed to floss at least once a day and use mouth-wash before going to bed. Brushing your teeth only when you remember is not enough to keep your teeth and gums healthy. You must brush your teeth regularly and properly, no matter how lazy you are. There are several people around us who are habitual of skipping brushing and eventually ignore the importance of brushing. Here is what happens to your teeth if you do not brush properly.
Germs start to thrive
Bacteria and germs dwell in your mouth, when you do not brush regularly and properly. Remember, the sugar and food particles stuck between your teeth allow them to breed.
Teeth become stained
We all know that coffee, tea and cola drinks can stain the teeth, besides smoking. And if you do not brush your teeth, the stains will remain there and with time, they will get darker and hard to remove.
Most people do not realize that gums start bleeding, when you do not brush and floss properly. If you have bleeding gums, it means you have some kind of gum disease. Gingivitis, when gums turn red, swollen and quick-to-bleed, is actually a response to the bacteria in the plaque that builds up between your teeth and gums. If not treated immediately, the plaque can destroy tissues and bones in the mouth.
More bacteria in your mouth may create a breeding ground for more bacteria that will aid the build-up of plaque in your arteries. And arterial plaque increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Brush your teeth twice to reduce the chance.
Cavities are Created
Bacteria in the oral cavity slowly destroy the teeth by creating cavities in teeth, which can hollow your teeth and cause excessive pain. Resultantly, gums can also be infected and bleed.
Now when you know major impacts of not brushing your teeth properly, you must take out time for your health, as it does not take much time. Start brushing now and make it your habit. | <urn:uuid:f65ac993-adf6-401b-97d4-34c7c0fe04a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.dentalaesthetics.pk/too-lazy-to-brush-your-teeth-what-happens-if-you-dont/ | 2020-09-22T11:30:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.952456 | 436 |
What has happened
US fiscal stimulus has rapidly risen to one of the largest near-term risks for markets with President Trump taking the highly unorthodox, and possibly unconstitutional, act of issuing executive orders to provide substantial stimulus. With data relatively light this week we would expect Congress’s impasse, US/China tensions and European viral cases to set the tone for sentiment.
Executive orders issued
President Trump’s four executive orders included a temporary payroll tax deferral and an expansion of unemployment benefits. There are still just over 10% of the US workforce listed as unemployed and those filing for benefits saw a cliff edge reduction in their federal benefits supplement over a week ago. The executive measures include provisions for $400 a week to go to unemployed Americans with 75% funded by the federal government and the remainder being delivered at a state level. There are some question marks over whether the states can afford such measures given the pandemic (and their more restricted access to funding) but also whether these executive orders are legal given that funding decisions are traditionally the realm of Congress. These orders, if quashed by the courts, could create an even tougher backdrop for Democrat/White House talks but in the interim markets have welcomed the short-term support for US consumer confidence.
European viral cases watched closely
Whilst US viral new case growth continued to slow over the weekend, European data is picking up again. There have been some targeted measures to reduce the spread of the virus including mandatory face coverings in some busy sections of Paris however the continent is currently slowing easing measures rather than reversing them. Weekend data tends to be skewed by reporting irregularities but Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the UK have all seen an increase in the pace of viral growth compared to two weeks ago.
What does Brooks Macdonald think
This week we have US CPI and Retail Sales but otherwise is fairly quiet as is tradition for the post payrolls week, similarly earnings season is coming to an end after companies fairly consistently beat low expectations. Given the recent tit-for-tat sanctions and individual action between the US and China we expect this to be the tail risk to markets during the quieter weeks of August. | <urn:uuid:73b41cb6-724a-40ee-8da5-ccafff32b5ea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fbwealth.co.uk/news/10-august-update-from-our-investment-partner | 2020-09-22T12:13:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.961538 | 437 |

COVID-19’s toll on the elderly and older Americans’ growing desire to age in place at home have created far-reaching opportunities for home health. At the same time, pandemic restrictions coupled with a traditional home care mindset may prevent some agencies from fully benefiting from this moment.
What follows are five key areas where forward-thinking home health agencies can pivot from pre-pandemic approaches to a more modern, efficient and profitable ‘new normal.’ Use these strategies to engage new prospects and caregivers AND strengthen connections with existing clients, patients and their families.
Pivot 1: Diversify client base.
Instead of relying on their usual clients and institutions, agencies should think outside the box. That requires preparing themselves for emerging models of home care. The good news is that home-based healthcare referrals are on the rise. In fact, a William Blair survey found that 81% of physicians responsible for discharge planning now prefer to refer patients to a home health agency versus a skilled nursing facility (SNF).
In another example, the newly launched Mayo Clinic advanced care hospital-at-home model provides care for patients with advanced conditions previously managed in a hospital.
Also, as elective surgeries resume, more patients will require rehabilitative home care in lieu of an SNF stay. And as businesses reopen, opportunities exist for home health agencies to staff COVID-19 screening and testing programs. Responsibilities include temperature screenings, disinfection and other tasks.
Ultimately, client and industry diversity will create long-term prospects for agencies and improve revenue streams.
Pivot 2: Embrace Digital Marketing.
Even for home health agencies who swear by traditional marketing, the pandemic necessitates a shift to digital marketing. This applies to sales and recruiting as well as fostering client and patient connections. In fact, one Florida home health provider warned that “Agencies who don’t adopt digital marketing will fall behind. They will miss the thousands of potential leads from people electronically searching for ‘home care services near me.’”
Here are a few examples of digital marketing:
- Social media posts

Important: align all digital and sales channels with a common message: During a pandemic, a patient’s home is the safest place to be.
Pivot 3: Inventory workforce skills.
‘Home-as-hospital’ models like the Mayo Clinic’s and the SNF-to-home diversion trend mentioned above raise critical questions for agencies. For example, do current caregivers possess the complex skill set to care for patients with advanced conditions? Patients who will likely need dialysis, wound care, and ostomies in the home? If not, agencies should expand longstanding recruitment criteria. This will help them to locate the most desirable candidates to fill those eventual referrals.
Pivot 4: Accept the ‘virtual’ reality.
Quarantine and social distancing have canceled face-to-face encounters for the moment. Consequently, agencies who haven’t added Zoom, Facetime, GrandPad, and iPads to their tech arsenal should do so STAT. Employ these virtual tools for team meetings, candidate pre-screening and onboarding, and client outreach. Consider conducting virtual sales visits with prospective clients and offering socially distanced family visits to patients.
Also, at a time when infection fears are high, install software to remotely document caregivers’ and patients’ daily health and temperatures.
Finally, don’t overlook telehealth as a safe, socially distanced alternative to some in-person home health visits. Physicians and other health professionals are now seeing 50 to 175 times the number of patients via telehealth than they did pre-pandemic, according to a McKinsey & Company survey. Assure caregivers that remote monitoring of patients doesn’t replace the caregiver but rather supports them.
Pivot 5: Leverage relationships.
Remember, we’re all in this together and have weathered challenging periods before. As home health plans its pandemic pivots, remember that Mobile Health is a trusted occupational health partner. Our electronic medical records, Client Portal, next-day appointments at 2,700+ clinic and urgent care locations nationwide, and rapid test results will help agencies recruit and retain the talent they’ll need to compete as a valued home healthcare player. | <urn:uuid:df2c7b47-3f44-460a-ae74-b1be9fd9e294> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mobilehealth.net/pandemic-pivot-5-home-health-tactics-for-success/ | 2020-09-22T12:11:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.923306 | 921 |

There’s barely a handful of fully bespoke tailors left in Australia but, having polished his craft on London’s Savile Row, Rhys Twist is preserving the tradition.
“Bespoke” has become one of the most misunderstood words in the English language. Today we’re offered “bespoke vacations”, “bespoke cocktails”, even “bespoke pornography” (a growth area in California apparently). Endlessly misappropriated, “bespoke” has turned into a marketing catch-all that’s wheeled out for the flimsiest degree of personal modification.
Yet in its true context of tailoring, the promise of bespoke is a wondrous thing. Essentially, what it denotes is a garment that is constructed totally from scratch and made for you and you alone. Mercilessly labour-intensive and highly skilled, it reflects the pinnacle of the tailoring profession.
As a bespoke tailor, Rhys Twist is therefore a rarity. The 31-year-old served apprenticeships at J.H Cutler and Valentini in Sydney, before a stint at Oscar Hunt and then heading over to Savile Row. Now back in Australia, operating under the name Twisty The Tailor, Rhys put down his shears to reflect on his craft.
After Coronavirus, I think people are going to be a lot more cautious of where they’re spending their money. Hopefully that shifts people’s perception from quantity to quality and encourages them to invest in well-made garments that actually last. Perhaps there’ll be a little more appreciation for what actually goes into a garment as opposed to purchasing something mass-produced off the rack. That’s my hope anyway, but time will only tell.
I also wonder if Covid-19 will make people start wanting to dress up a little bit more. Speaking in the middle of COVID, everyone’s working from home, they’re wearing sweatpants and casual gear most of the time. The TV host Jimmy Kimmel recently started this initiative called “Formal Fridays” that turns the idea of Casual Fridays on it’s head. Everyone dresses up in a suit to then go and work at their kitchen table. It’s certainly an interesting idea.
My earliest inspiration for tailoring came from watching old tap-dancing films, particularly Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. It all grew from there. There’s a scene in Singin’ in the Rain, where Gene Kelly is wearing high-waisted, grey flannel trousers with a white collared shirt and a burgundy knitted jumper and he’s just walking around with such grace and elegance. I remember seeing it and thinking: ‘’That’s definitely where I want to be at.”
It used to be the art and construction that I loved about tailoring, but now it’s more mathematical. I love seeing how we take the measurements of a three-dimensional figure and then calculate how to translate them into a 2-D pattern. That involves trigonometry, geometry, sometimes even a little bit of algebra. It’s highly technical, but that whole synthesis really inspires me now. I love watching that whole process unfold, from the client initially coming in to pick out his cloth to watching him try on the garment for the last time. That moment is the final tick at the very end of the journey that we all work towards.
Every man should have at least three suits in his cupboard. I would definitely suggest a navy blue suit - you can wear that for business, casually or to weddings. A black suit is another all-rounder, a bit like a lady’s little black dress. After that a grey or charcoal suit can also be fairly versatile. From there, you can go into something a little bit more jazzy like, say, a Prince of Wales check. But my three top picks to start off a suit wardrobe would always be a blue, black and grey.
I still remember the first sports coat I had made. I commissioned it from one of my old teachers. It’s quite a heavy Donegal tweed that’s navy blue herringbone. When I put it on, it was incomparable to anything I’d ever worn before. As it’s made for you, the drape is just so comfortable, the jacket moves along with you like it’s stuck to your back. It remains one of my most prized possessions and still fits remarkably well.
When you’re seeing a tailor for a suit, it certainly helps if you have some sort of mental image of colour and shape from the outset. Have a Google, look through magazines, sniff about. Figure out if there’s a style or silhouette that you particularly like. Most of the technicalities - like pocket shape and lapels - you can talk them through with your tailor and they can guide you forward. But if you’ve got no idea about colour it can feel overwhelming. Your tailor will have access to thousands of cloths to choose from, so you could be rifling though the swatch books for literally hours.
There’s generally three types of fit - slim fit, regular fit and classic fit – that relate to waist suppression and the general boxiness of the garment. But within those parameters, every tailor will have their own silhouette they’ve developed over the years. There are great variations in the way that garments are cut to exemplify and hide different features of the body. On Savile Row, for example, Huntsman has a wide shoulder with a broad lapel that cinches into a really narrow waist and then flairs back out. That’s completely different to other houses on Savile Row.
If I’m going away, I always take a pair of grey pleated slacks and a blue blazer. The versatility of those two garments alone is endless. You can dress them up or down depending on the occasion.
The pinnacle of menswear for me would be art deco from the mid ‘20 to the early 30s. Everybody dressed properly back then and wore a hat and a three-piece suit. For me, that’s definitely when men dressed best.
If you’re considering bespoke, you need to be aware of the cost. Otherwise, people can feel a little bit shell-shocked. Bear in mind what’s going into the garment. You’re buying something that is made just for you with your specifications in mind from start to finish plus you also have complete creative control. What you’re investing in is that process, as well as the craftsmanship of the tailor and his years of experience. The specific cost really depends on who you go to, the different levels of construction and the quality of the cloth (it’ll be far superior to anything you’d find on the rack). But as a ballpark guide, you’re probably looking around $3000 for the jacket and anything north of $1200 for the trouser.
What nationality of men are the best dressed? In my personal opinion, you can’t go past the English for cut, construction and silhouette. But when it comes to sheer panache, it’s got to be the Italians.

bigredmanny- At last year’s USA powerlifting Raw Nationals I had to leave early for a conference, which meant missing out on optimusprime_334 becoming the first man to squat over 1000 lbs I Equipped, en route to a higher total than anyone else regardless of federation or drug testing. I’m sure many were disappointed that no new records were broken today, but I finally got the chance to see a 1000+ lb Squat in person. This 467.5 kg/1030 lb Squat was 11.5 kg/25.3 lbs heavier than that milestone lift from Atlanta, and this was only a 2nd Attempt! And the 1082.5 kg/2386.4 lb Total he did today, while less than his best, was still more than that historic day in Atlanta. Second video 490Kg (1080lb) attempt.

If you really want to see why Riverwalk Communities is the best adult-care facility in the tri-state area, hear it from the people who know best. Read what our residents and their families have to say.
Elderly and disabled adults can have daily independence [here]. Assisted Living offers 24-hour care, and Adult Day Care gets adults out of the house and socializing. No other facility in the tri-state area offers what we do.
My husband was a very vibrant, active person. He had a major heart attack, multiple bypasses; a portion of the heart is no longer functioning. While he was recuperating he had a major stroke. He’s had two minor strokes since that time. It affected his short-term memory. It was our intention for him to go [to adult day care] a couple of days a week, just to get him interacting with other people and to give me a break. He now goes five days a week because he wants to go. It really has made a tremendous difference in him and it has freed up my days. You go some places and you find babysitting. And that isn’t the case at Riverwalk. | <urn:uuid:a3340252-1346-4f56-acd5-6b8a256b5012> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.riverwalkcommunities.org/calendar/ | 2020-09-22T12:19:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.973463 | 317 |

3 Successful Digital Transformation Lessons
Pubblicato il 23.03.2020
Despite the hype around the term 'digital transformation', a 2017 survey revealed that only 50% of companies are successfully executing on their digital transformation strategies despite demonstrated efforts and investments.
This alarming percentage of companies failing to meet their digital KPIs could be improved by considering some important factors when creating a digital transformation plan. For companies, ensuring a digital transformation effort produces successful results, including increased customer experience and engagement, improved operational efficiency and agility, reduction in costs, increased revenue margins and increased collaboration between teams and functions, here are three tips that proved to be imperative for Britam’s digital transformation success.
1. Understand Who Your Audience Is
Knowing your audience and their behavior patterns is crucial before implementing any digital transformation plans. By carrying out this research when building your digital strategy, you can uncover invaluable insights about your target market.
A 2017 BT survey revealed that 81% of consumers want organizations to offer a choice of channels to meet their needs. These findings only reinforce the necessity for companies to implement digital transformation strategies in 2020.
In order to meet changing customer demands and expectations, companies need to incorporate an omnichannel strategy that features mobile accessibility as part of their larger digital transformation strategy.
2. Make User Experience a Priority
According to PWC, providing a good customer experience literally pays off. Customers are willing to pay up to 16% more and are more likely to try additional services and products from businesses that provide exceptional customer experiences.
Customers value convenience and self-service when interacting digitally with your business. For example, 70% of app users prefer user functionality over the “look and feel” of an app. If your business values customer service then good user experience (UX) is the key. By prioritizing user experience when setting out on your digital transformation journey, you can massively impact the adoption rate by your customers.
Impressive UX designs mean customers can decide what they want on the spot and tailor products and services to fit their needs at the touch of a button. Thanks to this, customers make decisions quicker and sales close faster, which in turn generates revenue for businesses more efficiently.
73% of online customers liked the control that digital self-service tools gave them, but 92% experienced problems using these tools.
3. Future Proof Your Business
In a time where change seems to be the only constant, is it actually possible for businesses to be future proof? Many organizations worldwide have followed trends pertaining to their respective industries. However, most of these companies fail to evolve on familiar formulas that have already been established. Flexibility, integration and scalability are crucial if your organization wants to strive in the ever-evolving business environment.
Companies have realized early on that their customer expectations are being driven by digital experiences in non-digital industries. They adapted to the changing times in order to become and to remain competitive. By creating a strategy that prioritizes customer demands and overall customer experience, companies have been able to provide future-proof solutions to solve their digital transformation challenges. | <urn:uuid:963b7462-8b95-468c-ae1e-c90ea4e967f1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tinext.com/it/eventi-news/insights/2020/3-successful-digital-transformation-lessons | 2020-09-22T10:24:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.939785 | 633 |

1. Boosting Your Efficiency
Efficiency can be crucial to the day to day routine of any employee. Having a process in place that can relieve stress with the automation of tasks will enable employees to be more productive with their time in a given business day.
2. Increased Access to Accurate Information
Having a centralized data system where employees can access information at any given time during the day is extremely valuable. Real time accurate data can be the difference between winning and losing a deal.
3. Improved Flexibility
Ramp time for a new employee or the reassignment of an existing employee can be long. Being able to act quickly while having a defined process in place can keep that ramp time to a minimum and help to get an employee up and running in a much more effective manner.
4. Producing High-Quality Results
In today’s fast paced business world, results speak volumes and quality is of the utmost importance. Results lead to increased revenue, benefiting the employee as well as the business as a whole.
5. Holding Departments Accountable
Accountability in the work place provides a structure for results. Proper monitoring and reporting tools can help reduce human error with double data entry as well as simple tasks that may be forgotten.

How watching 'Suits' has changed, now that Meghan Markle is almost royal
Wedding bells are ringing for Rachel Zane in the midseason premiere of Suits (Wednesday, 9 ET/PT), but I couldn't stop thinking about the royal ones ringing for Meghan Markle.
The American actress has been playing Rachel on the legal drama for seven seasons now, but the latest crop of episodes is the first to air since she and Britain's Prince Harry announced in November that they are engaged, and the last to feature Markle and Patrick J. Adams. The royal wedding is set for May 19.
Maybe it's because her character is engaged on the show, or because Markle has been stepping out quite a bit with her princely fiancé or that the drama on Suits has grown tired, but I couldn't stop thinking about the royal wedding every time she was on screen.
I know this is problematic. Markle is a fine actress, and her worth is not limited to her engagement to a famous man. Still, it's not every day someone marries an honest-to-goodness prince, especially an American woman of color from one of my basic-cable guilty pleasures.
So when Rachel discussed her vows with Mike Ross (Adams) and said, "The wedding: It’s going to be here before we know it," who can blame me for wondering about who will design her real-life dress? What celebrities will attend? Will the Suits cast pull up to the palace?
Rachel doesn't have a huge role in the opener, which focuses on the fallout from Jessica's (Gina Torres) disbarment and the romantic tension between Donna (Sarah Rafferty) and Harvey (Gabriel Macht). But she sweeps in to save Mike from making a bad deal for his client, and affirms her commitment to their upcoming nuptials. Because she and Adams are ready to depart, the premiere seems to set up a path for them to leave the firm together to focus on each other, mirroring her real life.
Although it's weird to see its main couple leave, Suits will go on. The Donna and Harvey drama is already more central than Rachel and Mike's. And USA has already made the high-profile move of casting Katherine Heigl for Season 8.
Soon, I'll be able to obsess about Markle's royal ventures all on their own, but I'll never forget where I knew her first. | <urn:uuid:89b581da-8ecd-420a-a15e-51ba6dc5651c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2018/03/29/how-watching-suits-has-changed-now-meghan-markle-almost-royal/466481002/ | 2020-09-22T12:44:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.97434 | 509 |

you stepped inside the house and closed the door, turning to face an angry gyuni standing with her arms crossed over sheer black lingerie.
carefully you walked up to her, forcing a innocent smile while reaching over and pushing her glasses up on her nose.
"honey I'm home."
she rolled her eyes and pointed at the clock ticking on the wall. each second making a clicking sound that bounced off the walls.
eventually you gave up the sweetness act."okay so I swear I wasn't working late. today wasn't even my fault. my car broke down and I had to get someone else to bring me back to my honey."
you tried your best to switch on your loving voice, the one you used when you wanted to get out of trouble with your fiancé.
smiling up at gyuni, you gave her an apologetic hug, squeezing until she started to laugh."alright bighead get off, I'm not mad anymore."
pulling away you nodded."good."
"just go upstairs and change, I'll warm up some food and bring it up." she waved you off upstairs.
looking around, you were trying to find which door was the one you were supposed to go in, opening doors that would potentially scar you for life.
still you found the bedroom with clothes laid out and you slip them on. nothing revealing like your friend but comfy in its own right. she brought you leggings and a tube top.
once you were dressed you took a look around the room, it had a romantic vibe to it. everything had a low tint of red and you could smell rose.
but that scent was quickly covered by the delicious smell of savory dinner approaching closer.
gyuni appeared with two plates, walking over to you and offering you one. "sit on that side of the bed."
she tells you while walking to the other side, setting her plate on the night stand and taking the time to collect her hair into a ponytail.
you watch, mesmerized as it bounced."ish you have such long hair it's ridiculous. cut some off and give it to me."
laughing, she shook her head, taking her plate in her lap."never. I only look good with glasses because of my hair."
"you remind me of those teachers in shoujo animes." you took a fork of your kimchi and shoved it in your mouth.
"ew the ones with the tight blouses that I know are not their size?"
you shook your head, trying to keep from laughing so you wouldn't choke. "I've never met a teacher that looks like that, you're like the closest thing."
"except I have a realistically proportioned body—you don't see me walking around like a stick with two coconuts shoved down my shirt with highlighter smeared on them."
you shook your head, literally imagined two coconuts with highlighter and shimmering in the caribbean sun.
slowly the joking died down and you both continued to eat. every now and then gyuni would get up and bring napkins or a drink.
"It's been a while since I had a sleepover, kinda forgot how to do these things." she admits. moving her empty plate to the nightstand and wiping her face.
"I know usually there's a bunch of snacking, movie watching, then we studied because our life goal was to try to get into the same college..then if we weren't asleep we'd talk about boys."
it fell silent for a minute as you bit down on your fork, leaving teeth marks in it the harder you bit.
then you felt a soft hand touch your shoulder and you stop."do you want to talk about boys?" her voice soft in your ear.
you shook your head but didn't speak. you knew what would happen if you tried.
"I don't have to talk..I can just listen." she offers, taking your plate away and turning you to face her.
"I know it's hard..but things will improve. we can always look on the brightest side of the sun...we're spending more time together and making more memories. friendships last a long time you know?"
she squeezed your fingers and you forced a tug on your lips.
"you know we'd go blind looking at the sun." you tried to lighten the mood and she offered a sympathetic smile.
carefully she reached over and started to run her fingers through your hair until you started to slump onto her shoulder.
as you started to drift you heard her mumble.
"I'll make sure you're happy again. that traitor will be nothing but a foggy memory...you'll question if he ever even existed or if it was just a dream." | <urn:uuid:e405115d-199c-4178-afbc-2f16260a67f9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.wattpad.com/408669699-rent-a-boyfriend-bts-x-you-005 | 2020-09-22T12:43:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.982041 | 996 |

I’ve been stuck in a conundrum about how to prepare for 2017. I wanted to enjoy the Christmas season and live in the moment. I also want to spend an appropriate amount of time reflecting on the past year, and an equally appropriate amount of time preparing for the new. The latter two activities definitely clash with the general “living in the moment” mindset that Christmas spirit requires. When am I supposed to do all of this?
I debated spending the entire month of December focused on Christmas, and the entire month of January on New Year’s preparations. That would give me enough time to live into both holidays, but completely bypasses the emotional power of the turning of the calendar. We just can’t have that.
Thus my current solution: I’ll dive wholeheartedly into Christmas through December 25th. Starting on the 26th, New Year’s prep is ON. I’ve got 6 total days before the new year hits to complete all of my traditional activities. Let’s go.
Mandi’s Annual New Year’s Traditions
Every single year, I go through a long process to prepare for January 1st. I spend days reflecting by rereading journals from the past year, going through planners, and reviewing my social media accounts. I love remembering the year as a whole, and these activities help me remember what I may have forgotten.
After I’ve completed this sometimes-upsetting task (depending on the year), I start in on my analysis. I reflect on the past year as a whole and I put together the highlights in my journal in one long list. What big things happened in 2016 that really impacted me? I usually try to have this exercise be positive, if I can. Then I write a separate list of lessons I learned in the past year.
Now comes the goal-setting time. I first brainstorm a list of 1, 3, and 5 year goals for myself. I tend to do this every year, but I’ve also wondered if I should only do it every 5? So that I have time to complete my goals? The thought was too meta, so I just decided to do it yearly. I also select three or fewer big resolutions that will help to guide my focus. I’ll take my resolutions and break them down into action items that can be easily crossed off. I’m a bit into setting goals. No judgment.
Finally, I do some manifesting work. I’ve really loved keeping a mantra and/or word for each of the past years. My word of the year for 2014 was “Serendipity,” and living into that word brought me so much joy. My mantra for 2016 was “No mud, no lotus.” This saying played on repeat in my head and got me through graduation and into the real world. In 2017, I’d like to select a word and a mantra to stay focused on.
I’ll be going crazy this week getting all of these activities completed in time for the New Year. Wish me luck! What are your New Year’s traditions? Do you set resolutions? I’d love to hear about any reflection practices you engage in– fill me in in the comments below. I’m wishing you all a happy New Year’s preparation week!

Tech titan Lenovo is officially the first manufacturer to receive the new breed of AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper processors built for powering workstation PCs.
The Lenovo ThinkStation P620 will carry the new processor, which boasts of 64 cores in a single CPU socket.
The Threadripper Pro chip alone reveals that the P620 workstation is on the more expensive side of the price spectrum, retailing for $3,990 or around P196,846.65. In earlier statements, AMD also hinted that the processor is intended for video and content editors.
Having 64 cores and 128 processor threads alone is a feat in itself, challenging the Xeon CPUs from Intel. The standard for a single-CPU system used to be maxed at 18 cores, while rare dual-processor systems support 56 cores. The P620 exceeds the core count seen in two-processor systems with just a single CPU socket.
With this amount of raw power, users will be able to stream 8K quality content in real-time and achieve reduced render times, process simulation solving in an extremely short amount of time, quicken assembly rebuilds, and smoothen interactivity with 3D assets.
This is made possible by the Threadripper Pro’s support system — two NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 or four RTX 4000 graphics cards, up to 512GB DDR4 RAM at a frequency of 3200MHz by using eight 64GB DIMM units, a motherboard derived from the AMD 2019 Premium Chipset BXB-B, and six drives comprised of two 2TB M.2 PCIe SSDs and four HDDs.
A 1000W power supply unit at 92% efficiency will be providing juice for all this muscle and the entire rig will be air-cooled, a cooling system that can be a hit or miss when used on such a demanding hardware compared to a liquid-cooling setup.
The Lenovo ThinkStation P620 is scheduled to be released globally on September this year. The processors to be released include the Threadripper Pro 3995WX, Threadripper Pro 3975WX, Threadripper Pro 3955WX, and the Threadripper Pro 3945WX. | <urn:uuid:ed19f6a3-1796-4416-ab45-3760ddfdbfff> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://newsbytes.ph/2020/07/22/lenovo-debuts-first-pc-with-amds-ryzen-threadripper-pro/?share=facebook | 2020-09-23T18:35:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.892384 | 446 |

Scarred Mind - Heavy Mental (Worship Records, 2012) - Damn, this ep is soooo good! Scarred Mind delivers some dope tracks on their debut 7” ep Heavy Mental. Crunchy and sharp hardcore with a slight metallic sound that moves forward while managing to stay true to its roots. They combine elements from different eras and styles hardcore, but most of all it’s about that rugged and raw style everyone loves.
You can hear influences from classics like Leeway, Cro-Mags or Killing Time and where I come from, that ain’t no bad thing. What I like is that Scarred Mind do their thing with ease and they do it very well.
The band keeps things sharp and on point most of the time, but there’s enough melodic leads or fat grooves in it to keep you listening over and over again. The hard-hitting vocals deserve a mention as well as they fit the music perfectly and add the the overall dopeness of the ep. Say what you want, but this is important for a hardcore band to have a vocalist who sounds like he wants to punch you in the face.
I wonder why there wasn’t a bigger hype surrounding this record as it is every bit as good as many other acclaimed records of recent times. It has all the energy and depth you would expect from a good hardcore record, and the execution is flawless. Don’t eat for a week if you have to, but buy this record! | <urn:uuid:834064fc-5025-45e4-ba0f-ac18d9a17847> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.hardboiledzine.com/2014/05/review-scarred-mind-heavy-mental.html | 2020-09-23T19:30:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.963114 | 308 |

OpenWeb Datasets Web Collection
The OpenWeb Datasets Web Collection, derived from the 'FineWeb' dataset, consists of more than 15 trillion tokens of cleaned and deduplicated English web data from CommonCrawl. The data processing pipeline is optimized for LLM performance, and the necessary set of datasets has been extracted from Hugging Face's FineWeb collections. This dataset was created by processing 96 CommonCrawl dumps, comprising web data crawled from the summer of 2013 to April 2024. FineWeb includes a variety of domains and topics in English and is primarily intended to serve as a research artifact for public data in the context of pretraining datasets for large language models. The CommonCrawl data was carefully processed, filtered, and deduplicated using the Datatrove library, resulting in the largest publicly available clean LLM pretraining dataset, containing approximately 15 trillion tokens (using the GPT-2 tokenizer).
