125 years of Prey
In a few years the smithy founded in 1892 grew to an industrial plant for steel and mechanical engineering. Now the current Rud. Prey GmbH & Co. KG is having their 125th anniversary.
When Rudolf Prey established the current Rud. Prey GmbH & Co. KG during the so-called "Founder's crisis", he undoubtedly had no idea how many world economic, currency, oil and banking crises his family company would still have to survive apart from two world wars.
Within a few years the company had developed under its founder from smithy to an industrial enterprise for steel and mechanical engineering; it began to manufacture lifts in 1908 and the second generation in 1951 laid the foundation with the invention of modern fire hose maintenance technology for the second pillar of the fire brigade technology.
Serial construction of lifts
In the mid-1960s, the third generation began with the serial construction of lifts. During the 1970s, development and design also concentrated on the construction of special mobile installations.
For example, Rud. Prey erected the hydraulically operated spatial structures of the Kiel Baltic Hall with a span of 40 x 40 m and 42 tons total weight, the underwater service installation of the deep diving bell of the marine school in Neustadt and the bridge service installations for Europe's longest high-level iron railway bridge in Rendsburg.
In 1999 Rud. Prey designed, built and developed the biggest, heaviest and most expensive passenger lift in the world for Planet M at the EXPO 2000 in Hanover on behalf of the Bertelsmann Media Group in the form of the Space Lift. The lift carried 210 people, a total load of 50,000 kg and cost about DM 3 million. In 2008 the great-grandson of the company founder, Thomas Prey, took over the family company as sole partner and managing director.
Big exhibition centre
Since 2012, the company has been managed under the Prey brand. The Kiel headquarters was completely modernised and in 2016 it was expanded by a 680 m² exhibition centre for lift cars and fire brigade technology. Parallel to the redesigned brand, the fundamentally revised product design found its way into all the production and administration areas of the company.
Today Prey currently generates 15.6 million euros with almost 130 employees and extraordinary high vertical integration in Kiel. Eight branches from Sylt to Hanover and Neubrandenburg to Bremen guarantee the assembly and service of lifts while five "flying service stations" look after the fire brigade technology, special installations and ship lifts - a total of 4,000.

in protest
A federal judge cleared the way for a priest and two veterans to be tried before a federal jury on September 13, 2006 for damaging a Minuteman III intercontinental nuclear missile in North Dakota.
The three, dressed as clowns, hammered and poured their blood on the silo of the 40 ton weapon. The bomb has over 20 times the destructive power of the one dropped on Hiroshima. If convicted on the felony charges of criminal damage to property, each face up to 10 years in federal prison and fines of up to $250,000.
They dressed as clowns "to show that humor and laughter are key elements in the struggle to transform the structures of destruction and death. Clowns as court jesters were sometimes the only ones able to survive after speaking truth to power." [snip]
"We are not criminals," Fr. Kabat told the court. "We are following the laws of morality. These weapons are the crimes against humanity!" Bill Quigley
Twenty-three peace activists cycling from London to Jerusalem to get wheels turning in the Middle East peace process will make a second attempt to enter Jenin in the West Bank today, having been denied entry by Israeli officials for the past two days.
The group of mostly British cyclists. . . were held up by the Israeli military. "When they tried to enter the West Bank, they were detained for eight hours," said Laura Abraham, the Peace Cycle 2006 founder. "No valid reason was given. Spurious explanations were provided by officials, and despite phone calls to the Israeli authorities from the British consulate, the group was told it would not be permitted to cross indefinitely."
Requests for water or the use of toilet facilities are also believed to have been denied. "We were treated so well in every country we passed through in Europe and the Middle East, but now we are being treated like animals," said one of the cyclists.
The Peace Cycle aims to raise awareness of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and to work for peace for every person in the region. Ms Abraham said the cyclists were due at the Freedom Theatre in Jenin yesterday, where they were scheduled to perform a musical piece to the children of the refugee camp, using their bicycles as instruments. The group was then due to visit Balata camp in Nablus tomorrow, and had scheduled meetings with Israeli Palestinian peace groups, as well as the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Bishop Riah, and the Israeli peace activist Jeff Halper. link
8th Annual Power to the Peaceful Festival
Happening today in San Francisco. Here's the line-up. Speakers include Michael Lerner, Jeremy M. Glick, Dennis Kucinich, and by tape, Mumia Abu-Jamal.
The Festival began humbly in 1999 as an international day of art and culture in support of political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. The name and date "911" were chosen to call attention to the emergency status of Mumia's impending execution and drew roughly 6,000 people to the Mission's Dolores Park. In 2000, PTTP expanded; showing support for all prisoners on death row, and speaking out against the exponential growth of the prison industrial complex.
When the attacks of September 11th, 2001 occurred, the festival took on a new significance, serving both as a day of remembrance for the lives lost in the tragedy as well as a day in which Northern Californians called for and end to all bombing around the globe. The 2002 and 2003 events offered a space for healing and compassion for all the people killed or displaced by terrorism and the war on terrorism. By this time, the festival had outgrown Dolores Park, and was resituated in the lush mile acre of Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park, with over 20,000 people attending. In 2004 the festival was themed "Stand up and be Counted", encouraging people to get out and vote. Last year's festival, themed "Bring 'Em Home" emphasized that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home now and drew upwards of 50,000 attendees participating in a day of music, art and social justice.
"Be Peace Now" is this year's theme, reminding us that the path to a less violent world starts from within. Each one of us must commit to what we want to see reflected in the world. Or as Michael Franti sees it, "We can't change the world over night, but we can be a drop in the river that moves a mountain". link
Presented by musician/filmamker/social activistMichael Franti & his group Spearhead, whose latest album is titled YELL FIRE!. A film on the Middle East (view it here), , I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE, was released this summer, blurbed as:
. . . travels to Iraq, Palestine and Israel to explore the human cost of war with a group of friends, some video cameras and his guitar. A compelling soundtrack, visual and musical montages and Franti's intimate voiceovers make the film speak to the MTV, X, Y & Z generations, as well as the baby-boomers. A true armchair travel film pulling the audience into these war zones in the company of Michael's guitar, eloquence and wit - you feel the humanity, artistic resilience and sometimes horrific experience of what it's like to live under the bombs and military occupation.
With its guerrilla style footage captured in active war zones, the documentary is unlike the many academic and politically driven pieces in the marketplace, instead offering the audience a sense of intimate travel and the opportunity to hear the voices of everyday people living, creating and surviving under the harsh conditions of war and occupation. link

Tupac Shakur, a rap performer who is standing trial on charges of sexual abuse in Manhattan, was shot five times early today as he and two companions walked into a recording studio in midtown, police said.
Mr. Shakur, 23, and the other men, who were not identified, were walking through the lobby of Quad Recording Studios at 723 Seventh Avenue, near 48th Street, about 12:25 A.M. when three men approached and demanded money, said Sgt. James Coleman, a Police Department spokesman.
It was not clear why the men then shot Mr. Shakur and one of his companions, the police said.
Mr. Shakur, who was struck twice in the head, twice in the groin and once in one hand, was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center where he was listed in guarded condition, said Wes Anglin, a hospital spokesman.
"He is alert," Mr. Anglin said, and his wounds were not believed to be life-threatening.
The second man was shot twice in the abdomen and was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center. His condition was not available early this morning. The third man with Mr. Shakur was not injured.
The three robbers fled after taking money or property from the three men, Sergeant Coleman said.
Mr. Shakur, who starred last year with Janet Jackson in the movie "Poetic Justice," has been standing trial with his road manager, Charles Fuller, on charges of sodomizing and sexually abusing a woman in the Parker Meridien Hotel last November.

Funny females. Fantasy football. Relatable realities. And a splash of in-your-face fierce. Tuh-duh! It's the First & 10s Podcast, the unique weekly show delivering hot women, cold-blooded competition and the spiciest of opinions on football, life and, especially, each other. First & 10s is the brainchild of media-savvy, long-time friends Amy Voss and Jasmine Sadry. The podcast weaves through their fantasy football league of 12 outspoken and diverse women, who vary in sports IQ from newbie to prodigy. First & 10s will trash-talk league rivalries (complete with expletives), while also injecting pop culture, fashion and music into their daring dialogue. It's the podcast that compels you to look and listen. It's saucy, dramatic, edgy and, most of all, funny AF.
Amy Voss
After graduating from SMU with a degree in Psychology, Amy Voss worked in the music industry as a record promoter for Lyric Street Records and an Affiliate Relations Director for ESPN Radio and the ABC Television Network. After leaving her 10 year corporate career to take on the challenges of motherhood, Amy became a glass mosaic artist, using acoustic guitars as her canvas. She is the owner of GlassAxes.com. Her Glass Axes hang on the walls of private homes and offices belonging to several renowned music industry execs and recording artists. Amy has played golf since the ripe age of 12 and in the last few years has taken on her latest obsession of tennis. When she's not busting balls (mostly sports balls) she's living up to her nickname "Five Star Amy" (not a self given nickname). Nice things and 5 star accommodations is her jam. Amy resides in Dallas, TX with her husband (Bruce) and young son (Hudson).
Jasmine Sadry
Jasmine Sadry has been in broadcast media for 18 years, by way of stints at FOX Sports, CBS, ESPN, KVUE-TV, and iHeart with a lot of random TV and voice work in between. Her bits have been featured on MTV2's "Ain't That America" and the MLB Network and she was in an episode of TNT's "Dallas". Sarcasm, animals, science, sports, music, theatre, Target coupons, and girlie sh*t like wine and fashion are her jam. She'll also tell you that she once scared Daniel Tosh. And it's true. She did. Jasmine is a member of the Association for Women in Sports Media and Alliance for Women in Media and was a nominee for "2018 CMA Broadcast Personality of The Year" in a major media market. Jasmine is trilingual and is an avid (borderline psychotic) animal lover, involved with the DFW Lab Rescue and the Texas Humane Legislation Network. Jasmine resides in Dallas, Texas with her two Labs (Gus and Henrik), and her boyfriend (Joseph), who frankly, we're all surprised is still hanging around.
Jenny, who doesn't claim to be a sports expert but has played one on TV is currently working through a fan identity crisis. She grew up a Seahawks fan, cheered on teams while living in Indianapolis and Dallas and is living in a house covered in Packers jerseys. Nonetheless, she's apparently taking this league seriously, as she just sent us this full-on head shot for her bio.

Members of Parliament want to release law enforcement officers from submitting open declarations
The Verkhovna Rada registered the draft law No. 9148, which would allow unlimited number of employees of law enforcement agencies to submit classified declarations instead of open ones and avoid their verification.
The Parliament wants to officially allow employees of the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Police, the Tax Administration, the National Guard, and other law enforcement agencies to submit classified declarations instead of open electronic declarations, as well as to avoid their verification and investigation regarding consequences of declaring.
On the one hand, the draft law provides for the replacement of open electronic declarations by paper ones only for the so-called "secret" agents of these agencies and employees of the intelligence bodies.
However, at the same time, law enforcement officials and intelligence officers would have the possibility to classify electronic declarations of everybody: from publicly known top officials to accountants. They plan to submit declarations according to the order specified by the same agencies, for example, in their own closed declaration system.
In fact, this would legitimate the already created scheme in the SBU. The AntAC has been appealing it for more than two years. Yes, the SBU has already classified declarations of all employees without any exception. The following decision was passed by the expert on state secrets and simultaneously deputy head of the SBU. The draft law will allow all law enforcement officers to use the SBU's experience in order to avoid submitting open declarations.
The authors of the draft law state that exceptions will not apply to the SBU leaders appointed by the public president's decree. However, it also means that at any time the president's decrees regarding the appointment of deputy heads of the SBU or the head of the SBU of any region may be classified by the decision of another SBU state secret expert.
"On the one hand, the draft law seem to be logical. Declarations of intelligence officers and secret agents should not be public. But at the same time, the draft law in fact will allow to avoid submitting of declarations not only for public heads of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, but also for unlimited number of law enforcement officers whose work is not confidential", – says Olena Shcherban, the lawyer at the Anti-Corruption Action Center.
The authors of the draft law directly allow to submit secret paper declarations for public top officials, the leadership of the Foreign Intelligence Service, despite the fact that they are also appointed by the president's decree.
The journalists' investigations reveal unreasonable assets of the latter. In particular, journalists of the TV program Nashi Groshi revealed that family of the deputy head of the Intelligence Service Serhii Semochko owns real estate worth more than 8 million USD.
It is interesting that, before his work in the Foreign Intelligence Service, the latter headed the Economic Counterintelligence in the SBU and the Department of the SBU in Kyiv and Kyiv region.
The law enforcement or intelligence agencies will check such paper or secret declarations themselves. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau will be able to carry out a full examination only with the permission of the head of this agency and after the decision to change the degree of secrecy.
Adding the need to report to the National Agency for Corruption Prevention on significant expenditures, Members of Parliament suggest not to report about recreational rest abroad, namely recreation in the Seychelles or the Maldives.

A two county chase ended just off Highway 81 early Thursday morning in Piercetown. South Carolina Highway Patrol Troopers said three people were arrested after leading them on a chase through Pickens County and into Anderson County. Troopers said they attempted to stop a Dodge sedan on Highway 93 around 1 a.m. on suspicion of DUI. The driver didn't stop and led the pursuing trooper on a chase, which ended when the Dodge ran off the road into a ditch along Martin Road near Ryobi Road.
According to reports, three people were in the car, along with drugs and a gun. No one was hurt. The driver, Richard Edgar Thompson, 28, was charged with driving under the influence, driving under suspension, failure to stop for blue lights, possession of meth with intent to distribute, simple possession of marijuana, and illegal possession of a firearm.
Two passengers, Misty Cole, 25, and Wade Watkins, 37, were also arrested and charged with simple possession of marijuana, troopers said. All three suspects were booked into the Pickens County Detention Center. (Photo by David Rogers)

With the holidays fast approaching, your to-do list is probably growing: the food, the decorations, the gifts! While we are all ready for the festive fun the holidays bring, is your money ready as well?
In 2017, Americans spent an average of $967 on gifts for family and friends. This cost doesn't include tree trimming, travel or the added expense for holiday meals. It is so easy to overspend this time of year. Below are some tips that I have found to be helpful to save on holiday spending and ideas to put into practice to help prepare for next year.
Tips for this year's holiday spending
Create a budget for gift giving. Buying for others is fun and the holiday season often brings out our generosity, but without planning ahead it can be easy to go overboard and spend more than you intend. Before you begin shopping, outline exactly who you will buy gifts for and how much you want to spend on each person. I find it helpful to determine what to buy each person and estimate how much the item will be. That way I stick with only purchasing the item I have listed.
Consider combined gifts. Many times buying a combined gift is more cost effective than two separate gifts. Consider a gift a couple will both love. Maybe a new kitchen gadget that will save them time and money.
Shop alone. Did you ever notice that when you shop with someone, you end up looking at additional items that are not on your list? Shopping alone can help you stay on task and stick to your list.
Pay in cash. Research shows that people spend an average of 12-18% more when they use their credit cards vs. cash. When you use cash, you see the 'value' which can help keep you motivated to stick to your budget. Also consider that consumer credit counseling agencies see a 25% lift in client visits seeking help in the months of January and February. This is primarily due to overindulging during the holiday season.
'Tis the season to give. When gift shopping for others, isn't that usually the time we see things we want for ourselves? Keep your shopping mission in mind. Only look for the items that are on your gift list and stick to your budget.
Prepare NOW for next year's holiday spending
Consider shopping all year long. Keep an eye out throughout the year for gifts and make the purchase at that time. We do this in my family, especially during summer vacation.
Track holiday spending. It's easy with online bill pay. You can set up categories to track your spending which allows you to keep track of your holiday spending all year long. If you like to use Quicken or Microsoft Money for money management, it's easy to upload your monthly statement.
Save now for the holidays. Here are a few ideas to jump start your savings for next year.
Put a designated amount into a savings account each pay. The best way to do this is to set up an automatic transfer. If your pay is directly deposited to your checking account, set up an automatic transfer of a designated amount to a savings account via online banking or stop by your local Univest financial center and we'll be happy to set this up for you.
One fun way to save is to save incrementally more each week. On week one of the year you save a $1.00 and build from there: week 2, save $2.00, week 3, save $3.00 and so on. At the end of 52 weeks you'll have $1,378! Completing the transfer via online banking allows you to easily keep track of what week you are on and view your progress.
See $5.00, save $5.00. Anytime you receive a five dollar bill designate it for savings. This approach can help grow your savings quickly while a missing $5.00 likely won't have too much of an effect on your daily activities.
These are just a few ways to save on your holiday spending and be prepared for next year. At Univest, we'll work with you to prepare a savings plan that fits your budget and goals.

To Thomas Jefferson from Robert Smith, 27 May 1808
May 27h. 1808
Your favor of the 20 with the enclosed letter to Doctor Rush has been duly received. It is really distressing that medical "partyism" should, upon an occasion so unimportant, have excited such acrimonious broils in Boston. But, some how or other, the disciples of Esculapins, having to grope their way over a ground not sufficiently lighted by the torch of philosophy, are ever thus jostling against one another. We might, as to these frivolous bickerings, say to these learned Gentlemen.
"Non nostrum inter vos tantas componere lites"
I have contented myself with merely sending to Doctor Waterhouse a letter of which the enclosed is a Copy.
With great respect Your Ob. Servt
Rt Smith

Game time is set for 1 p.m. at Retriever Soccer Park. All the live action is available, free of charge, at UMBCRetrievers.tv, courtesy of the America East digital network.

Scouting the Retrievers (8-3-0, 0-1-0 AEC)
-UMBC snapped a three-game win streak by dropping its 2014 America East opener against Vermont on Thursday afternoon. The Retrievers let the Catamounts take a 2-0 lead before senior midfielder Lilly Rydon (Adelaide, South Australia/Concordia College) scored her team-leading sixth goal of the season, but UMBC was unable to complete the comeback.
-Freshman forward Lisa Nanov (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) is the reigning America East and ECAC Rookie of the Week after a four-point effort last week. Nanov registered her seventh point in the last four games with an assist on Rydon's goal versus the Catamounts, the fourth time this season the duo has connected for a score. Nanov leads the conference (0.63) and entered the week 24th in Division I in assists per game.
-Junior goalkeeper Jen Nance (Millersville, Md./Severna Park) allowed her first goal in 367 consecutive minutes of play in the loss on Thursday, snapping a streak of three straight blank sheets from the Maryland native. Nance entered the week 23rd in the nation in save percentage (.872) and 28th in goals against average (.611).
-The Retrievers' program-record eight non-conference wins and an 8-2 record heading into America East play put UMBC back into the top-10 of the NSCAA/Continental Tire Northeast Region Poll at No. 10. The Retrievers ranked as high as No. 6 in the Northeast region back on Sept. 2, but fell out of the top-10 following a loss to Saint Joseph's.
Scouting the Seawolves (3-8-0, 0-2-0 AEC)
-Stony Brook has dropped five of its last six contests, including its first two America East contests of the season. The Seawolves were last season's regular-season co-champions with the Retrievers.
-SBU is coming off a 1-0 home loss to Maine on Thursday, despite holding a 15-10 shots advantage in the contest.
-The Seawolves are paced offensively by a pair of third-yard plays in Raven Edwards and Tessa Devereaux. Edwards, a red-shirt sophomore forward, has punched home a team-best four goals, while Devereaux, a junior midfielder, has dished out five helpers to go with one goal.
Inside the Series
-Stony Brook holds the all-time series record at 9-5-1, but UMBC is unbeaten in its last three matchups versus the Seawolves, including a pair of double-overtime contests.
-Last season, UMBC defeated Stony brook in the regular season matchup, 2-1, as well as a 2-1 victory in the America East Tournament Finals.

Collar (BDSM) A BDSM-style collar that buckles in the back.
Detail of collar showing D-rings. Impact play. In this flogging demonstration at Folsom Street Fair 2004 the top is using an advanced double flogger technique.
There are number of activities that qualify as impact play. Single tails such as a bullwhip have a single fall. The associated activity is referred to as single tailing.Floggers, such as a cat o' nine tails have many falls. The associated activity is referred to as flogging. Dominance and submission. 1921 illustration of female submission by Georges Topfer from Le Rêve d'un flagellant ("The dream of a flagellant").
Overview[edit] Dominance and submission, and the inner conflict and surrender connected with these are enduring themes in human culture and civilization. In human sexuality this has broadened to include mutual exploration of roles, emotions and activities which would be difficult or impossible to do without a willing partner taking an opposing role. A safe word is usually given to the submissive partner to prevent the dominant from overstepping physical and emotional boundaries. The safe word is especially important when engaging in verbal humiliation or playing 'mind-games' because the submissive may not be aware of an emotional boundary until it is crossed. It is important to note that for a safe, sane and consensual environment to be maintained, all participants should have a safe word of which the other is aware; this includes the Dominant partner. Sadism and masochism in fiction.
Georges Topfer illustration on a Jean de Virgans book representing a flogging in Ancient Rome.
The role of sadism and masochism in fiction has attracted serious scholarly attention. Anthony Storr has commented that the volume of sadomasochist pornography shows that sadomasochistic interest is widespread in Western society;[1] John Kucich has noted the importance of masochism in late-19th-century British colonial fiction.[2] This article presents appearances of sadomasochism in literature and works of fiction in the various media.[3][4][5] Novels[edit] Titles are sorted in chronological order.
Nipple clamp. Nipple clamps with chain applied Clothespin-style clamps in use.
Note the screw to adjust the pressure. Tweezer type of Nipple clamp. Clover clamps The main types of nipple clamp are the clover clamp, tweezer clamp, and clothes-pin style, though any device that applies direct pressure can be used. Another variation involves another chain being attached to the chain connecting the nipple clamps, the end of which is connected either to a clamp to be attached to the clitoris for female or a cock ring for male. Erotic spanking. One woman spanks another in 1903, both wearing trousers A male spanking a female subject in a BDSM dungeon Many cultures describe pain as an aphrodisiac.
For example, the Kama Sutra, in particular, goes into specific detail on how to properly strike a partner during sex.[3] Cock and ball torture. Ballbusting[edit] Ballbusting is a form of CBT in which a man has his testicles kicked, kneed, punched or squeezed.
In addition to its occasional role in BDSM pornography, Tamakeri (玉蹴り) (lit. ball kicking) is a separate genre in Japan. Erotic humiliation. Public humiliation of a woman Terminology and overview[edit] Means of humiliation[edit] Many scenarios may give rise to sexual humiliation.
Some scenarios may be based on verbal abuse and others on physical aspects. Knife play. This article is about a form of BDSM.
For information on the Xiu Xiu album, see Knife Play. Knife play is a form of consensual BDSM edgeplay involving knives, daggers, and swords as a source of physical and mental stimulation. Knives are typically used to cut away clothing, scratch the skin, remove wax after wax play, or simply provide sensual stimulation. Hogtie bondage. Definition[edit] A stringent hogtie A variation of the hogtie involves tying bound wrists to frogtied legs, providing the dominant easier access to the submissive's crotch for sexual play.
The hogtie differs from the balltie, which involves tying the legs together in front of the person with the arms additionally in front or behind. They both differ from the spread eagle tie, which fully separates the arms and legs. Mummification (BDSM) Partial mummification Mummification with duct tape. Self-bondage. Woman handcuffing herself Self-bondage is characterized by experimentation and ingenuity, and can be riskier than conventional bondage.
Self-bondage requires use of techniques for self-binding as movement becomes increasingly restricted as more restraints are applied, and also requires a reliable release mechanism. Many types of bondage equipment can be applied before the one that restrains the hands. Head bondage. Head bondage, in BDSM play, includes all techniques used to apply control to the head of the subject. It may refer to one of several techniques: Head harness[edit] Head harnesses, like many other forms of bondage, also have the effect of creating a sense of objectification and erotic helplessness in the wearer, which can be erotic for the wearer, or for those observing them. Many head harnesses are designed with straps that pass in front of the wearer's eyes, restricting their vision, and further increasing the sense of objectification and erotic subjection.
Some have full blindfolds. Caning. Caning is a form of corporal punishment (see that article for generalities and alternatives) consisting of a number of hits (known as "strokes" or "cuts") with a single cane usually made of rattan, generally applied to the offender's bare or clothed buttocks (see spanking) or hand(s) (on the palm). Application of a cane to the knuckles or the shoulders has been much less common. Caning can also be applied to the soles of the feet (foot whipping or bastinado). The size and flexibility of the cane and the mode of application, as well as the number of the strokes, vary greatly—from a couple of light strokes with a small cane across the seat of a junior schoolboy's trousers, to 24 very hard, wounding cuts on the bare buttocks with a large, heavy, soaked rattan as a judicial punishment in south-east Asia.
Munch (BDSM) Munches have changed with time and with increasing social acceptability of BDSM and fetish lifestyles. Many have expanded to include more people, topics and philosophies. [citation needed] Some munches may have a specific focus, such as spirituality, or whips. Others may be restricted to a specific group; such as women, or submissives. Munches can be very specific to their region, city, or neighbourhood, and regional groups will often host member's only meetings.
Each munch is different and reflects the personality of the group that attends it. Many munch organizers post their event information on social networking sites, some may use e-mail or mailing lists. Munches started in the 1980s[citation needed], prior to the widespread introduction of the web. After that initial meeting, an informal rotation of organizers and locations were instituted, with widely varying amounts of success.
Limits (BDSM) In BDSM, limits refer to issues that participants in a play scene or dynamic feel strongly about, usually referring to prohibited activities. Some partners choose not to set limits. Outline of BDSM. BDSM. Bondage (BDSM) Bondage or ligotage is consentually tying, binding, or restraining a partner for erotic, aesthetic, and/or somatosensory stimulation. Female dominance. Associated activities[edit] Generally, activities consist of anything from role reversal to more extreme acts of BDSM such as torture. List of bondage positions. Society of Janus. The Society of Janus is a San Francisco, California based BDSM education and support group, and is the second oldest BDSM organization in the United States.
It was founded in August 1974 by the late Cynthia Slater and Larry Olsen. Saint Andrew's Cross (BDSM) St. Negotiation (BDSM) In the BDSM community, negotiation is a form of communication where participants make arrangements on each other's requirements, responsibilities, and limits to find the best possible agreement. Activity within BDSM relationships requires trust, openness about most practices that may include risks. On the other hand, partners have certain needs which should be clearly defined in order to be properly satisfied. In this regard, negotiation is essential part not only when parties were not familiar with each other but also in case when partners have long-term relationships. Gag (BDSM) Shrimp tie. Wax play. Wax play can create colorful patterns on the subject. Maria Beatty. Bondage cuffs. List of BDSM equipment. Frogtie. Safeword.

Press terrorized in Nuevo Laredo; fear grows in Texas
A Nuevo Laredo police officer was killed and the ex-officer she was driving with injured in an attack by unknown gunmen Aug. 10—just two days after the US consulate in Nuevo Laredo re-opened—having closed its doors for a week in protest of ongoing violence in the Mexican border town. Adriana de Leon was the 15th law-enforcement officer to be killed among 110 slayings in Nuevo Laredo so far this year. A city council member was also among the recent vicitims. The town remains occupied by 1,200 federal agents, and a midnight curfew is in effect. The new violence also comes as the city government is offering to bring in tourists from San Antonio for free to convince them the city is safe. (Houston Chronicle, Aug. 11)
Local journalists have been especially targetted, leading the press to adopt a policy of self-censorship. "It's the new trend of drug gangs: Journalists are warned, paid off or killed," said Daniel Rosas, the managing editor of the daily El Mañana, Laredo's oldest newspaper. "Drug battles have become bloodier, and gangs have no code of ethics. They don't respect human life; why should they respect reporters?"
El Mañana, founded in 1932 with a motto "to promote freedom of expression," has been censoring itself since its editor, Roberto Javier Mora García, was stabbed to death on March 19, 2004. Earlier this year, former El Mañana reporter Dolores Guadalupe García Escamilla, died after being shot outside a radio station, where she had named officials allegedly involved in the drug trade.
El Mañana now reports only official news, its editors said. Other major papers in the border towns have followed suit after their reporters were killed, kidnapped or threatened. This means they aren't investigating the 173 people who have disappeared since last fall throughout the state of Tamaulipas, now called by journalism organizations as the most dangerous place for reporters to work in Mexico. Twenty-three others who are missing are US citizens from Texas.
In the past 18 months, six journalists have been killed along the border: four in 2004 and two in 2005. Two other journalists have been killed elsewhere in Mexico.
The violence erupted in 2003, when Gulf cartel kingpin Osiel Cárdenas was jailed, sparking a battle for control of Nuevo Laredo, a crucial crossing point to Interstate 35, which runs north straight to Canada. Mexican and US officials say gangs loyal to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán--a fugitive drug trafficker based in Sinaloa--are seeking to seize control of Nuevo Laredo from the Gulf cartel, which has traditionally controlled the region. (Miami Herald, Aug. 11)
The notorious Central American gang network Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 also appears to be active in the region. Brownsville's NewsChannel 5 reports Aug. 10 that MS-13 members used a local coyote (immigrant smuggler) to cross into Roma, TX, then killed the man who helped them cross. The report stated "The MS-13 gang members are believed to have ties to al-Qaida."
The claim that al-Qaeda is recruiting Mara Salvatrucha members to slip into the US for terrorist attacks originated from Honduran Security Minister Oscar Alvarez last year, and has never been substantiated. (NewsMax, Oct. 21, 2004)

1 review for John Blevins: Matterhorn (PFMCD092)
4.5/5 stars!
Back in the 1960s, when the music now commonly known as fusion was called "jazz-rock," the earliest bands to get plastered with said label were essentially funk and rock rhythm sections—guitar, bass, keys and drums, plus or minus congas—with a lead singer and a jazzy horn section tacked on. Think Blood Sweat and Tears, or Tower of Power, or any number of the dozens of less-familiar bands in the sub-sub-genre such as Ten Wheel Drive (with Dave Liebman), Osmosis (with Charlie Mariano), Azteca (with Lenny White and Pete Escovedo), and Dreams (with the Brecker Brothers, Billy Cobham and John Abercrombie). These bands either went totally commercial or broke up entirely. Jazz-rock bands with horn sections were quickly eclipsed by smaller units, such as Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, that had a completely different take on jazz-rock. A few brave souls continued to work in the horn-section milieu: most notably ex-Dreams and ex-Mahavishnu drummer Billy Cobham, who produced a number of remarkably fine recordings with an eight-or nine-member band during the mid-to-late 1970s. The band Matrix, briefly signed to RCA and Warner Brothers, also had a good run around the same time. Michael Vlatkovich has done some remarkable music in this vein, as well. But, for the most part, jazz-rock bands with horn sections weren't happening for quite some time, unless you count The Saturday Night Live Band.
As with all things stylistic the "horn band" genre has come and gone a few times, and may now be experiencing a mini-resurgence. The most remarkable development has been the across-the-board success of Snarky Puppy, who now boast a Grammy award, among other accolades. While we're all holding our collective breaths, awaiting the flood of Snarky Puppy sound-alikes to tumble down the pike, here comes this young and erudite trumpeter / composer John Blevins with an octet of upstarts called Matterhorn. Their eponymous debut album, released on the California-based pfMENTUM label, bears just a passing resemblance to Snarky Puppy's highly-produced funky jams. The instrumentation is similar, but the result is different: Blevins' music—though expertly played—is rawer and less slick. It's tempting to say that Matterhorn is "more jazz based" or "sounds more avant-garde," but that would be missing the point. This is adventurous, risky music, but not at all unpleasant or self-conscious. Blevins has crafted eight complex compositions for his excellent band, who, like their leader, can play really effectively in a number of genres. Blevins, himself, has worked with IconIQ: The Soundtrack Orchestra, folk-rockers MegaFauna and Morningsiders, and contemporary classical composer Brooks Fredrickson, in addition to the usual jazz, funk, and jazz-funk bands that populate New York's underground music scene. Matterhorn freely takes in all of these musical experiences, refracting it through a decidedly modern jazz-based point of view. The result is cogent, beautifully realized—both compositionally and in its execution—and a joy to listen to. The band uses electronics extremely well. There's lots of wonderful Rhodes piano, and some fine electric guitar, and all of the horn soloists seem to be able to switch something or other on at various times to change up their sound. But electronics are clearly not the focus of Matterhorn.
So… the music? It's hard to put a finger on exactly what this band sounds like. More modern jazz than 70s fusion revival, Matterhorn's emphasis seems to vary from tune-to-tune. The album opens with Blevins soloing unaccompanied, which puts the listener right on the edge of their seat: one truly does not know where this music is headed. But, boy, can this fellow play the horn! The tunes that follows, "Identity Theft," has a Middle Eastern tinge, some snarling guitar sounds, and a driving 5/4 ostinato behind excellent tenor saxophone and guitar exchanges. "Breathe" is sweet and straightforward; a soul-jazz ballad par excellence. "Little Dickens" is a Latin-tinged groover awash in muted brass and snappy drums not unlike something that Snarky Puppy would do. "See" is a multi-sectioned excursion that flies from sassy funk to way-up-tempo jazz to almost-free (topped by Marta Sanchez' effects-laden Fender Rhodes solo) before landing back in the angular funk from whence it came. "Unaware" opens with bassist Marty Kenney's eloquent solo over eerie harmonies, spooky Rhodes, and wind chimes. He drops into a stark ostinato as the tune coalesces around him, Blevins and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell taking dangerous liberties as the horns mass and stab. The resolution is a long time coming, but it is supremely rockin.'
As far as debut recordings o, Matterhorn is about as good as it gets. Excellent performances, compositions that are both challenging and fun to listen to, deft arrangements, and a lot of cool sounds. Definitely a band to keep an eye on!

Fiona the Hippo Learning to Swim Cincinnati Zoo
Fiona the Hippo Learning to Swim
One year ago we posted one of the best Fiona videos of all time! Here's a look back! Fiona is up to 73 pounds and is getting a little too heavy for her care staff lift in and out of the pool. So, she's learning to use a ramp. When she first saw the ramp, she needed some coaxing to step on it. After a few days, she went up and down with little assistance
Get yours Fiona Socks and Indoor Pillow: Here
Premature hippo Fiona gets more pool time. Get a glimpse of Fiona's underwater moves. She's working hard on doing a roll but hasn't quite made it 360 yet. This time we include a little underwater perspective using a GoPro camera. Very cute!
One-month-old Fiona has outgrown two pools already! Now that her IV has been removed, vets have given her the okay to resume supervised pool time. Hippos don't actually swim. They sink under water and walk along the bottom, propelling themselves up to the surface to breath. They are able to hold their breath for long periods. Spending time in the pool will help Fiona build muscle and lung strength, keep her skin moist and let her act like a hippo! Her new pool, purchased with your donations, is set up close to mom and dad so she can hear and smell them
What did fans think of Fiona the Hippo Learning to Swim
Jacob Dicke My goodness how Fiona melts my heart. She may be all big and bad now but when I look at her I still see the 75 lb baby in this video. She will always be that to me.
Marje Lemaster I need y'all to come teach my 114 pound Schnauzer how to use his ramp. I have to lift him front first and the other end as well into the back of our Explorer….
Denise Vukmirovich Such a brave girl. I cannot even stand those sweet little toes, those adorable wiggly ears and that pretty little face. I'm so glad for all the care and love that she received by staff there. Fiona is a true inspiration!
Lily Lottes LOL Fiona my dogs didn't like that ramp either. We had the same one. You were much braver they they were….or they have a sucker as a mom because I lifted them into the car and still do LOL. Fiona remembrance videos always make me smile, laugh and cry at the same time. You are one amazing little hippo with an incredible care team.
Michele Webb I hope and pray at some point there will be a DVD available with her videos on it. Her first year. I would for sure buy it. A digital picture slideshow with it would be great to be able to purchase
Tishi Traylor-Jones Hard to believe it has been a year already that this young lady made her debut. Loving every video she has been in and watch them over and over again. Such a joy to watch her and to see how she has grown. It is truly amazing. She is probably the worlds best known hippo! Love you Fiona.
Jenny Ramirez Thank you TeamFiona for all you did for this little girl and sharing your journey with the world. Fiona has touched so many lives and has shown everyone that no matter the odds, success is possible.
John Leis Now that is precious, what a sweet baby; quite smaller back then, but the love and beauty of Fiona and her caregivers are very clear.

Doing your part for worthy causes is incredibly rewarding, but with so many things to consider when organising a charity event, it can be difficult to know what you need to do to ensure your fundraiser will attract people and donations. From choosing the entertainment you'll offer to thinking about how to promote your charity event, there are plenty of things you'll need to consider. To help you, we have created this guide to give you some great charity fundraising ideas. We'll cover:
If you're considering charity fundraising, it's likely that you've already got a few ideas of what you'd like it to involve, whether that's the theme, the entertainment you'll have or what charity you want to raise money for. But, if you need a little more inspiration for the other areas, we will be sharing some helpful tips that you should be thinking about in the initial stages.
While some people might instantly know which charity they'd like to raise money for, others may feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of worthwhile charities around. If you're struggling to decide on a charity, you may want to think about the following:
What causes do you want to support?
The simplest way to decide on the cause is to choose one that is close to your heart — perhaps you're passionate about fighting inequality and poverty, or you are particularly interested in supporting the welfare of animals or victims of natural disasters. If you're hosting a charity event on behalf of a business, it might be a good idea to choose a cause that is related. For example, if you're a dog groomer you might want to fund raise for a dog shelter.
What do the charities use the money for?
Once you've got a general idea of the causes you want to help, you're bound to be greeted with an overwhelming amount of charities all working towards similar goals. Instead of just picking one at random, it's important that you check that the ones you're considering are legitimately registered charities. Additionally, you should take a look at how much of their total raised goes towards carrying out their purposes and how much goes towards other things such as admin — consulting the charity's online report will explain what they've spent the money on and how successful they have been in their goals. It will also be worth looking at the GiveWell website which is dedicated to finding the top-rated charities.
This isn't a necessary requirement when organising a charity event, but having a minimum amount you'd like to raise can encourage people to donate more. When attendees see a set number, they feel their donations are powerful enough to tip the balance and therefore feel more inclined to help you reach your target, according to previous research into charitable giving (Karlan and List). This has since been imitated by other fundraising platforms such as JustGiving. When you're setting this target amount, it could be good to look at how much similar fundraisers have raised in the past.
You will also need to think of the demographics for where you're hosting your fundraiser. How much are attendees likely to spend? How many people do you expect to turn up?
It might also be a good idea to get in touch with the charities and get benchmark figures from them. They'll be able to tell you what is possible with certain amounts of money, such as how many vulnerable people it can support. Having a specific goal in mind can be hugely motivating.
Before you go onto making big plans for your fundraiser, you'll need to decide on how much you will spend setting up the charity event. To do this, you need to be realistic about what you can afford and ensure that what you spend will be lower than the amount you raise.
It's unlikely that you'll be able to run your charity event on your own, so it's important to think about what help you can get. Gathering a group of honest and passionate volunteers that can help you run your event will be a great place to start, while contacting the charity themselves and asking for any useful resources or advice can also ensure success. They might even be able to provide you with charity promotional products such as banners and leaflets.
Once you've figured out what charity you want to support, decided on the target amount you want to raise and recruited volunteers, you can then begin thinking about charity event ideas. What you do is completely up to you, but the more unique your charity fundraising ideas, the better. This doesn't mean you can't go ahead with popular ideas such as bake sales, coffee mornings and raffles, but for them to be memorable and successful, you'll need to add a twist.
Considering the venue and the potential attendees will be important to creating an event that will be successful. You need to ensure it'll appeal to the relevant age demographic, for example, so it's worth finding out what's popular by checking trending tags on social media or asking around.
If you want to get some extra inspiration, approach local businesses to see if they would like to get involved — even if this just means advertising your fundraiser. Getting more heads together for the event planning is likely to help you generate more ideas and these local businesses may have unique fundraising ideas for you to be inspired by. There are even some businesses who will want to go the extra mile to support your fundraiser and act as sponsors for your charity event.
Familiarise yourself with what has already been done and what events have received similar total donations that you wish to. This can help you to identify what kind of event you should hold and what you can do differently to attract more people and donations. Looking at feedback on the event's Facebook page or blogger reviews will help you to get a greater insight into how popular the event may be. As well as organising the entertainment for your fundraiser, it's also a good idea to offer promotional products that people can buy, as a way of gaining extra donations.
Creating an exciting charity event that will raise money is important, but need to get the word out if you want it to be a success. First things first, identify your potential attendees and consider how to target them. For example, if you're trying to spread word of your fundraiser to teenagers and young adults, advertising via social media will be best to grab their attention. Below, we will talk about the benefits of different methods so you can find the most suitable means of marketing your fundraising campaign and to reach your customers.
Newspapers can be a particularly effective way of getting your business out there for people to hear about, with many papers having designated advertising spaces. There are many local newspapers to pick from, meaning you will easily be able to target people in the area you're hosting your event in.
If you choose to go with this means of promotion, it's important that you realise it is a disposable form of advertising, so you really need to make an impact to ensure people stop and take in the information you're aiming to get across. Adding colour and imagery is a sure way to help you grab people's attention but do be aware that these adverts can be costly.
Magazine advertising tends to be longer-term than newspaper ads, purely due to the fact that magazines are published less frequently. The glossy appearance of magazines also makes it possible for a more attractive advertisement and, as they touch on a range of topics, you will be able to reach a specific audience. For example, if you're hosting a race for charity, you could advertise in a fitness magazine.
If you fear your advert getting lost among the heaps of information in newspapers or magazines, creating your own pamphlet of information can be effective in making sure everything is clear and explicit for your potential attendees. There are free templates online that can help you create a professional-looking leaflet for less. Once you've perfected the look, you'll need to think how best to distribute these. Handing them out in stores, giving them to business owners to put up on noticeboards or in the window and paying someone to post them through letterboxes are all effective ways of getting your event leaflets out there.
Radio advertisements can be particularly effective in generating interest about what's going on in certain areas, especially if you get your charity events promoted on local radio stations where the information is relevant. It's worth getting in touch with the station to see if they'll also give your event a free shoutout as it's for charity.
As all of the main social media platforms are free to use, this is quick and effective to get people in the know about your charity events.
Facebook: Facebook is a great way to get word out about your charity events, with this platform holding the highest market share of all UK social networks. Whether it's creating an event page for your fundraiser, creating a shareable status to spread the news or using sponsored posts to make your event more visible to people, there are so many ways you can attract attention to your fundraiser. If you've created an online fundraising page for your charity event, Facebook is a good place to share the link to these and gain more donations.
Twitter: The demographic for Twitter is younger than that of Facebook, meaning it's a great platform to use if you're wanting to target the teenage to mid-twenties age categories. Using hashtags can help you gather exposure for your charity event, so consider using things such as the location and charity name for these. You can organise targeted advertising through sponsored posts to get your posts to appear on more timelines, however be aware that these will cost.
Instagram: Visual campaigns can have a big impact, especially when you share them over social media. As a visual platform, using Instagram presents you with the opportunity to showcase your charity event and the entertainment that will be on offer. Try creating a new Instagram page for your charity event and following local pages, the charity you're supporting and people from the local area. Tagging the location and venue you'll be fundraising in will also make it easy for people from around the area to find out about your event. Interact as much as possible through likes and comments to gain attention for your page.
LinkedIn: LinkedIn is a brilliant choice for attracting potential sponsors for your charity event, and many companies will be willing to spread the word about your charity this way, too. Sharing public posts to your connections can be an effective way of gaining sponsors, as well as company donations and maybe even attracting more volunteers. If the charity you're raising money for has a LinkedIn page, it's worth contacting them to get them to share your post.
YouTube: If you want to make your campaign really stand out, consider making a campaign video to share on YouTube. This can show people what your charity event is all about and also help introduce the team behind it to potential donators. To make the most of this, you can embed the link onto your own website, as well as sharing the link on your social media platforms.
While advertising communications will be useful for getting the word out about your fundraiser, it's also important to consider what branded marketing materials you'll use to promote your charity event. There are a number of different ways you can do this, with creating a volunteer uniform being a particularly good way of establishing awareness for your charity events. These can be worn both during the events and when you visit venues and locations to spread the word about it. If you choose to use social media marketing for your charity, it will also help to have a uniform you can show off.
There are so many ways you can brand your uniform, with colours, logos and style to think about. And, most importantly these need to match the personality of your charity event. For example, opting for a vibrant uniform shade can make people associate your fundraiser with fun and make them want to get involved. To ensure you get the perfect outfits for your team, you might want to think about:
As mentioned above, colour is particularly important for establishing certain associations and expectations for your charity event. According to colour psychology, certain shades can evoke positive or negative feelings about a business or organisation. Below, we have shared some of the do's and don'ts for your uniform colouring.
Colours to use
Generally, any bright, statement colour is good for your volunteers' outfits, as these can stir up feelings of positivity, energy and joy. To help you get a good idea of which ones to choose, we have shared some of the best ones below:
Colours to avoid
There are no rules as to what colours you can and can't use but, generally, you should avoid using the following colours in excess on your uniforms when hosting your fundraiser:
No matter how small you choose to make it, the logo of your team uniform will be an important part of easily spreading the word about your charity event. It can also ensure your whole team is recognisable and can be crucial for getting donations as you will all be identifiable as charity collectors.
While some people may prefer to simply have the charity's logo on the uniform to ensure all of the emphasis is on the cause, it's also great to have your own team logo to show unity and commitment towards the fundraiser. The design of this is completely up to you but a play on images or using fun twists on the way letter forms are printed are all good ways to advertise the fun and light-hearted activities you'll include at your charity event.
Once you've designed your logo, you'll need to think about the colours you want it to be. The shade you choose will need to stand out enough against the base colour of your uniform: it's no good choosing black T-shirts and navy writing as this will be difficult for people to see.
It's also good to ensure that your logo is versatile and will be able to be printed effectively onto a variety of promotional products.
Your charity event is bound to be full of carefree fun, so your volunteers' uniforms need to match this spirit and not be restrictive. When designing their outfits, you'll also need to account for unpredictable weather and give them plenty of options so they can stay comfortable when helping out.
Generally, T-shirts are a good place to start and providing your volunteers with both sleeveless and long-sleeved T-shirts will ensure they're equipped for every occasion. If your fundraiser is being run during the colder months, it'll be smart to provide your volunteers with additional layers such as custom fleeces and hoodies — as well as ensuring they're kept warm, this also means that when your team puts these on, they are still able to promote your charity event.
If your fundraiser will take place outside, it might be worth having extra uniform items to ensure they can be seen easily. Adding a cap to your volunteers' outfits can make it easier for people to spot them in crowded spaces, and will also protect their heads from both cold and hot weather. We have a range of headwear that can be branded with your charity event logo to ensure your helpers stand out.
It might even be worth thinking about any charity promotional products you'll want to sell to gain additional donations, or give away as part of the ticket package. Again, T-shirts are usually a good option as many people collect these as keepsakes, but smaller promotional products such as sweatbands and canvas bags are also popular — we have plenty of inspiration in our custom accessories range.
Holding a charity fundraiser can be extremely fun while raising money for a worthwhile cause, but with so much else going on, it's important that you get as many people as possible to hear about your event. Although this can seem like a challenge, hopefully the tips in this guide have given you a great idea of where to start, from charity event ideas to inspiration for your fundraising promotional products.

Almost as intriguing as the musical performance is the fact that the liner notes were written by guitar legend Johnny Smith. A leading jazz guitar performer, with an almost classical bent during the '50's, Smith picked up in 1958 and moved to Denver where he played and recorded occasionally and where he still lives. The story is that he dropped out because he war tired of dealing with the crooks and rip off artists who were running the record companies. There are two good Internet sites devoted to Smith. The first is www.csindy.com/csindy/2001-03-15/ cover.html which brings you up to date on what Smith is doing these days. There is a Johnny Smith discography page at www.gould68.freeserve.co.uk/jsmith.html, lovingly and thoroughly maintained by Dave Gould. Coincidentally, Gould also maintains a similar page for Alden at www.gould68.freeserve. co.uk/howardalden.html.
