The hardest thing is the people who have to come in and play, say, the bartender for a day - that's a lot harder than playing the lead role. You have to pop in and get it right. It's a lot of pressure to just pop in there and fit in and find your footing really fast.

As I look over this year's lineup, I am confident the festival will be a tremendous commercial and corporate success.Jimmy Lyons
"Jimmy Lyons" was an alto saxophone player. He is best known for his long tenure in the Cecil Taylor Unit, being the only constant member of the pianist's group from the mid-1960s to his death, after which Taylor never worked with another musician as frequently. Lyons's playing, which usually retained a strong influence from bebop pioneer Charlie Parker, helped keep Tayor's often wildly avant garde music tethered to the jazz tradition.If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous musicians! More Jimmy Lyons on Wikipedia.
The owner is not going to be able to sit there and manipulate a container containing a bomb through a port. To do that, it would take a conspiracy involving quite a number of people, including people on the ground, who are going to be (International Longshoreman's Association) members.Jimmy Lyons

The problem of suicide is not a central subject for T. Szasz. There are only two books devoted directly to the suicide problem in his numerous books: "Fatal Freedom: The Ethics and Politics of Suicide" (1999) and "Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of Medicine" (2011). But the importance of considering the problem of suicide in the framework of the anti-psychiatry project can be expressed in two approaches. First, a study of suicides and treatment practices to apply to people suspected of possible suicide or to who have failed to attempt suicide is based on the main thesis of T. Szasz about the myth of mental illness.
Szasz tried to demonstrate that the treatment of patients who might harm themselves was a false assumption considering the attempt to stop living was an act of mental illness. With psychiatric clinics net evolution and improvement of psychiatric research methods in the 19th century, that approach, as believed T. Szasz, causes the practice of psychiatric coercion and the alienation fundamental rights and freedoms from an individual through forced confinement in a psychiatric hospital.
Second, thoughts of T. Szasz were similar to the point of view of David Hume and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who argued in their theses devoted to the problem that suicide was not contrary to the laws of human and society or to the laws of God. T. Szasz, as well as Hume was like to return the human his freedom lost before a strong opponent represented by the State taking out that freedom with a so-called good goal: to protect the human from both demolishing actions of other people and autodestructive desires and intentions.
Though we should admit T. Szasz was not an advocate of the suicide practice, he rather intended to demonstrate that if suicide would become a psychiatric case and a suicidal was considered to have a mental disorder, that person would be blocked to realize his main important part, the freedom of self-determination.
One of the main provisions developed by T. Szasz in his works was to prove that suicide was not a medical problem, but rather a moral one, because it along with blockage for the person to define limits of his/her life, that person would be limited to carry out responsibility for his/her activities and grant the responsibility to a psychiatrist or an impersonal illness. T. Szasz wanted to return freedom and responsibility to the human for any acts including the fatal ones.
For T. Szasz it was important to approve not the right to die or for radical self-determination, but the right to be free from suicide prevention, that responsibility the human used to carry and his right to keep the State or anyone else out of decision-making regarding his individual decisions despite the way his freedom would be being realized.

Search snippet updates from Google
Google often makes a huge amount of changes in the algorithms and showing the results. But, this one is really big and interesting. So, let's have a look! Google is up with the back to back changes in the Algorithm with the latest change in the Meta Descriptions. With the increasing number of various websites, Google is trying the best to provide the users the perfect websites they are looking for and make the user experience even more accurate and save user's time. To get the best results, Google keeps on changing different algorithms on the regular basis.
The latest update: From the 300+ characters of search result snippet, the Google has reduced it around 160 Characters which has made many SEO experts re-work on On-Page SEO. Have a look at various updates from the Google on the Meta descriptions to get the knowledge about the search result snippet.
Search snippet updates from Google
1) First Major Adjustment in May 2016
In May 2016, Google came up with the first change in the meta descriptions and made a major update in the search snippets by increasing the width of the search results for almost all the users of smartphones devices and desktops. The description length was around 150 Characters. In this update, the title length was around 70 characters and it could go up to 73 characters according to the words. With this change, the length and width of the description got increased.
2) Second Adjustment in the December 2017
This adjustment also made a huge gross. Google increased the length of the search snipper where it started showing almost 300 characters in the search results. Depending on the length of the words, additional 2 to 4 words could be added in the title tag. All the snippets were generated based on the searching query of a user. The snippets were generated with the help of meta description and content available on the page.
3) Third update in the May 2018
Just after the second update, the Google has reduced the length of the description. It now shows around 160 characters in the search results. With this update, many SEO experts now looking to update the meta description of their websites. The length of a description does not matter, Google will show only 160 characters in the search snippet.
What will be the effect of this change?
The shorter descriptions indicate that the websites which are performing lower in the search results will be viewed more compared to the longer results. If these sites are providing the relevant content then they have the perfect opportunity to make a presence on the first page. So, this is going to be a really positive outcome for the websites which are ranking on the second or the lower pages. Along with it, somehow the new update will also help the Google be precise on showing the results in the most innovative way.
How to tackle this issue?
Google constantly do the analysis and try to provide the most accurate results for the users. For that reasons, it makes changing in the appearance and algorithms very frequently. Most of the changes cannot be noticed but the change in the ranking gives an urge to the SEO experts. There is only one thing which is going to be useful to tackle this issue and stay ahead in the competition.
First of all, let us discuss, what is Google searching for? Google always search for the best possible result that matches the query of a user. As the matter of fact, in over 60% of cases, Google always provides the accurate result. So, to tackle the issue, try to write the most transparent content and stick to your topic. Write for the users and stay honest with your content. Along with this, try to build the quality backlinks yet natural links. Do not do What everyone else is doing rather than that more focus on the Guest posting.
What did the experts say about this update?
1) Danny Sullivan on changing the meta tags:
I'm checking on it. But, we were very clear there was no need for people to change the meta description tags.
2) John Mu:
The search engine UI is a very dynamic place, seeing changes that are not expected. Like on your own site, it's also important to keep testing, improving and trying out new things to see what works best for the users.
Tips for creating meta descriptions:
1) Make the meta description relevant to the content on the page
2) Use the mixture of various keywords in the 160 characters of the content
3) Try to use the action-oriented content
4) It is not guaranteed that Google will use Meta description, it might crawl the content and find the relevant information. So, try to use the H1 tags in the page content to give the indication to the search engine.
Google has made such changes in the past and this change is not that much surprising. Talking about this update, Google can change it any particular time. The motto of Google is to provide the most relevant results for the users. If you are a website owner or a blogger then your main focus should be providing what a user is searching for and creating a remarkable content. Many people are believing that Google is going to bring an update regarding Voice Searching. There is a huge gross regarding the voice search optimization in the market currently. Many organizations have already started doing the Voice search optimization for their business websites. In this situation, it is going to be really interesting to witness the update regarding same.
Talking about the SEO, many of them have already updated the content according to the change and many believe that you do not need to require a change in the Meta tags. If you are facing the ranking issues or any other ranking related issue then you can consult an Affordable SEO service provider to improve the sales of your website and make a useful presence on the digital platform.

Out of Focus: Jesus and the Self Flushing Toilet
Note: In this series of entries, I will pull from the materials I have gathered to write a book about my experience working as an agnostic/secular humanist at two major evangelical Christian non-profits, while my marriage to a dogmatic atheist fell apart. Along the way, I will veer into why I never wanted to move to Colorado Springs, why I now adore it, raising a non-religious kid an an overtly conservative/religious city, and some other peripherally related life adventures.
Intro here: Out of Focus: Intro
Out of Focus: Intro Read on irrelevations.kinja.com
I am a martini swilling heathen, a lapsed Irish Catholic from Boston. I am non-religious, bordering on atheism, but with secular humanist and vague philosophically Buddhist leanings. I am loud, irreverent, outspoken, adore stilettos, and routinely use words others consider 'bad' because, as I insist frequently, words can have no inherent positive or negative value.
I am standing outside the main building on the multi-building, multi-acre Focus on the Family campus in north Colorado Springs, trying to overcome enough of my nervousness to walk in the door for my first day on a new contract.
I am a hypocrite – I insist words have no inherent positive or negative value, but the words Focus on the Family, the phrase evangelical Christians, the concept Para-church organization – these all send chills up my spine. Still, I am aware on some level that I am struggling with connotative and denotative meanings, and that the way I am feeling is larger on some scale than how I frequently make others feel with a well placed F-bomb. But none of my thoughts help, really.
As previously mentioned, I am a hypocrite for even being here, for taking this gig for the money. I am the last person who belongs in a Christian organization.
I am scared. Not of the people inside the building, not really. But in some sense, yes, of the people – I have in the last week since accepting this contracting gig built the idea of evangelicals, of an Evangelical Organization into a concept something like invading aliens, and have come to view myself as an encroacher, an infiltrator, and wonder how long it will take until someone looks at me and calls me out, recognizes me as Other. In my life, the people in this building are Other. Them. I am Us. But they – if they knew me, they would reject me and cast me away, or maybe they would embrace me so hard my mouth would open involuntarily to accept the offerings of Kool Ade, and I would be culted, never more to return from the mists of missionary work.
I am scared but I am also overly dramatic. I am used to myself. I tell myself to suck it up. I can do this. For at least the morning. Or maybe the day. Or the week.
I have taken great care with my appearance. Normally a fan of highly stylized black suits and heels which are slightly too high and too sexy for corporate work, (but which I wear anyway, because why not), today I am a study in beige. Beige to me is almost a non-color, almost the color of my skin. It is the color of blending in, the color of taming down, the color of no discernible personality. I am big loud colors. Beige is the inverse of me, the UN me, or the closest I can get to not being me. In my mind, I have come to the conclusion that I can only manage this contract if I find a way to not be myself, to sublimate almost the entirety of my personality, and let only my brains out to play. And when I say play, I mean in a boring, non-joke cracking, respectful almost completely silent way. So beige. Beige blazer. Beige matching knee length skirt. Stockings, which I have been advised to wear no matter my preference, so I will not stand out. They are beige as well, but match my slightly beige complexion. I have, on my feet, low heeled beige pumps, a color and style that has never been in my wardrobe since, and which I made a special trip to Kmart for – nothing like this was sold anywhere I regularly shopped. My unruly curls have been sort of straightened and scraped back into a low ponytail.
I have on pale pink lipstick, for fuck's sake. I am disappeared.
I am as visually not me as I can possibly be. I am ready. Deep breath – walk in….
Anti-climactic. Whew. It's a business. With a giant cavern of a lobby and security guards and receptionists and sign ins and badges. One of the reception folks calls my soon-to-be boss – she will come get me in a few moments. It is 9 am and the day's work is well under way. This has a familiar feel, the bustling workplace. I feel ridiculously relieved. Then I see a group to my left . A tour group. Okay – some offices run tours…
They stop and stare at a spot on the wall, a bit of wall which in my memory has a frame around it but in reality may not be called out in this way. The tour guide is telling a story…about the time a shooter entered the lobby and tried to kill Dr. James Dobson. They have left the bullet hole in the wall as a testimony of sorts.
To be clear, I have researched this story to see if there was any media. I can't find any documentation or news articles. My notes from that time indicate that I did hear this story. I do not know if it was true or not. But I do know that I heard it. And. Okay.
The faithful are appalled and stare at the wall, murmuring. I look away. Shootings happen, I suppose. I am nervous again. Shootings happen, but not in offices where I work. Somehow this makes sense in my head, though I know no one, no business, no space is really safe from violence if someone wants to commit the act. I am saved from this train of thought by my new boss, a lovely tiny woman with an infectious smile (to whom I still speak from time to time). I spend the next hour or so in a familiar routine – orientation, computer log ins, desk assignment. I am feeling okay again. Then she leaves me and I have to find a restroom.
I am in cubicle land, which should feel also comfortable, but in this cubicle land there are posters about God and Jesus and there are crosses and bible verses and statues and so much overt Christian STUFF that I feel lost again. All these visual reminders that I am a pretender. I have not yet been asked where I go to church and I am mentally rehearsing my answer to this question. I have come up with, in no particular order: Uh. Blushing. Shaking my head and running away. Crying. Blurting out that I am Catholic. So, I have nothing. People are eying me, smiling at me, clearly in a welcoming way and I can feel myself getting a little panicky. I am ridiculous, and I have to pee.
I find the bathroom. The ladies room is gloriously clean and bright and empty and lacks anything remotely biblical and God-related. The bathrooms at Focus would become a refuge for me over what became a lengthy 2 year contract, because, for whatever reason, the bathrooms were religion-free. Like bathrooms should be, I guess.
I enter the stall. I take care of business. There is nothing really religious about a body function. I am skittish but relieved now in more ways than one. Laughing a bit at myself for being so worried, so wound up.
And then the toilet flushes under me.
Of everything that I was expecting, everything that I had imagined might happen on my first day as a fish out of water, this was not it. I reacted with a fairly extreme fear response, as might be expected from someone who is already as jumpy as the proverbial cat on the tin roof.
I scream "Jesus Fucking Christ."
If you are me, this was a perfectly predictable, even rational response. I kind of wanted to laugh. In my brain I am thinking – words have no value. This is no big deal. In my brain, I am thinking I am a stupid stupid idiot.
I am also thinking that someone else might have been in the bathroom with me, thereby assuring my rapid exit from the building and giving whomever had bet $5 that I wouldn't last till lunch the satisfaction of being right.
All of what went through my head in this moment would take too long to write, but here's what made sense: I needed a point of potential recovery. So I say, tentatively, but as if the entire sentiment had been intended, not just the yelling part…
"…is my lord and savior?"
There is nothing beige about me in this moment. Bold and salty yes. Beige, no. Clearly I do not belong here. I cannot do this. I wait for the inevitable escort off the properly.
There was no one in the bathroom with me. Sometimes I wish there had been.
Next: In which I meet a man who may or may not have been an Islamic terrorist as a child but who has very large white teeth and is very charming.

Three JBLM Soldiers Killed In Suspected Afghan Police Attack
Patricia Murphy
All three men were members of the 3rd Stryker Brigade stationed at Joint Base Lewis–McChord.
In local news reports from Amarillo, Texas, friends of 20–year–old Private First Class Genaro Bedoy describe him as a generous and happy new father. Bedoy's wife of less than a year recently gave birth to their first baby.
Nineteen–year–old Private First Class Jon Townsend of Claremore, Oklahoma, was on patrol with Bedoy. He'd been married for three days before deploying to Afghanistan. His mother, Katy Nelson, told a reporter from local TV station News On 6 that she was notified of her son's death on Sunday.
Nelson: "When I seen those uniforms out the window, I knew. And I told you them I don't want you here. I don't want to hear."
Nelson says her son always told her he loved her when they spoke.
The third soldier who died that day was 25–year–old Sergeant Sapuro Nena from Honolulu, Hawaii. Nena entered the army four years ago. He'd been stationed at JBLM for two years. This was his second deployment.
Also killed was 22–year–old Specialist Joshua Nelson of Greenville, North Carolina. He was stationed at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
The DOD says the deaths are being investigated. Insider attacks in Afghanistan have killed more than 50 US and allied service members since the beginning of the year. Now the top US commander in Afghanistan has decided to suspend some joint patrols.

Book Review: The Summer I Saved the World in 65 Days by Michele Weber Hurwitz
Nia decides to take the advice of one of her teachers and start performing random acts of kindness in her neighborhood. The results are amazing! It starts with Nia planting flowers for her neighbor and progresses from there. Not everyone understands, and some even want to stop this mysterious person doing nice things, but that only makes her more resolved to finish the summer.
This is such a precious book. I think that it will mainly appeal to girls and I think that is sad, because it has an awesome message about doing good for the sake of making the world better. Confession….I did a few unexpected things after reading this book because I was inspired but the simple simplicity of just doing something ordinary that can turn out extraordinary for someone else.
My grandmother believed in what she called STs-Simple Truths. This was one of her favorites. Things happen when they're meant to happen, and the sooner people realize that, the more content they'll be. Most people, she said, don't understand, even when those things are right in front of them.

Sayoudeiah: Lebanese Fried Fish With Tarator Sauce and Rice
2016-09-08 16:19:19
Write a review
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 Pinch cayenne
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek
- 1/2 cup olive or canola oil -- (1/2 to 1)
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 mild -- (6-ounce) firm white fish fillets
- Chopped fresh parsley -- garnish
- Pomegranate molasses
- Chili oil
- Lemon wedges -- garnish
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the tarator: Place the tahini, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the garlic, salt, cumin, and cayenne in a blender and process on high speed. With the machine running, continue adding more water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time until it becomes a smooth sauce with the consistency of mayonnaise. Add the parsley and process to incorporate. Adjust seasoning, to taste, with additional lemon juice or spices. Transfer to another container.
- For the Fried fish: In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, ginger, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and fenugreek. Stir to combine. In a medium pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring, until golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and fry, stirring, until golden. Add the rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon of the mixed spices. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and the rice is coated with oil, 1 minute. Add the water. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer without stirring until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit without stirring for 10 minutes. While the rice is cooking, cook the fish.
- In a large saute pan, heat enough oil to come 1/2-inch up the sides of the pan over high heat until hot but not smoking. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, remaining spice blend, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dredge the fish fillets in the seasoned flour to coat on both sides, shaking to remove any excess. Add to the hot oil in batches, if necessary, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, shaking the pan to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and add the fried pine nuts, stirring to incorporate. Divide among 4 plates and top with the fish. Spoon the sauce over the fish, garnish with parsley and drizzle with pomegranate molasses and chili oil. Serve with lemon wedges, and serve immediately.

(August 30, 2008) HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA – The season looks bright for the Tigers, who had a strong showing today in their 4-0 season-opening victory against the Cougars of Mountain State University. The match-up was the first of two games today in the Arby's/Hampden-Sydney Soccer Classic.
.The Tigers wasted no time in sending an early message to opponent Mountain State as junior forward Will Robertson (Charlotte, NC/Charlotte Catholic) found the net on a beautiful assist from freshman midfielder Bryan Wharton (Glen Allen, VA/Deep Run) in the sixth minute of play. Once the Tigers took the early lead, they never looked back as freshman forward Gregorio Pacheco (Montclair NJ/Montclair) scored the second goal of the game, and the first of his collegiate career, off of a feed from sophomore forward Andrew Berg (Aberdeen, Scotland/International School of Aberdeen).
The second half of play resumed and looked strikingly like the beginning of the first half as Robertson craftily found the net for his second goal of the day in the 49th minute of play. Before the match was over, one more Tiger got in the goal column as Wharton blasted a shot past goalkeeper Michel Hiza from outside of the box off of a feed from senior forward Ian Ciejek (Richmond, VA/Mills Godwin).
Mountain State never really got a chance to get in an offensive flow as the stingy, physical Tiger defense, led by junior Christopher Tait (Nokesville, VA/Brentsville) and sophomore Matt Swaney (Potomac Falls, VA/Potomac Falls), limited the Cougars to only eight shots on the day. Of those eight shots, sophomore goalkeeper John Robert Plyler (Charlotte, NC/Myers Park) stopped all four shots on goal earning him his fifth career shutout.
Hampden-Sydney played well at all positions and showed both their depth and youth with key performances from freshmen reserves Pacheco and defender Chris Hruneni (Midlothian, VA/Midlothian).
The Tigers showed their aggressive play all over the field - including a fiesty performance from senior midfielder Michael Krewinghaus (Yorktown, VA/Tabb) - by hoisting 20 shots to Mountain State's eight.
In the second game of the day, Lynchburg won the battle of the Hornets as they eased past Shenandoah 9-1.
Seniors Josh Reed and Daniel Arriola were the top scorers for Lynchburg with two goals a piece. Lynchburg got in a rhythm early connecting on their first goal in the 11th minute of the game. Shenandoah never got going as Lynchburg controlled the ball for most of the game and shared it well as they seven of their nine goals were assisted.
All four teams will be in action again on Sunday, as Mountain State will take on Lynchbug at 12pm followed by Hampden-Sydney facing off with Shenandoah at 2:30.

Raw food nutrition improves not only your overall vitality and sense of well being, but also preserves and enhances your health.
Many diseases of civilisation are caused by the consumption of denatured, overcooked and heavily processed foods. Essential nutrients and vital substances are lost as a result of processing. Unprocessed foods in their original natural state offer the most vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Eating foods that lack such essential substances leads to deficiencies, premature aging, a weak immune system, obesity and many other disorders, which are referred to as diseases of civilisation.

Shettar set to be new Karnataka CM
As per the decisions reached at a series of meetings today, K S Eshwarappa and R Ashok may be made Deputy Chief Ministers. Gowda may be made party unit chief in Karnataka. The decision to replace Gowda with Shettar, Yeddyurappa`s close associate, was taken at BJP`s Core Group and Parliamentary Board meetings today. 59-year-old Gowda, expressed readiness to quit, held marathon discussions with the BJP leadership, including L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj and Arunj Jaitley.
He will meet party President Nitin Gadkari tomorrow after which the decision will be announced. Jaitley said the entire political situation in the state was discussed during over two-and-a-half hour meeting. "After the Chief Minister meets the party President, whatever the party`s Core Group and the Parliamentary Board has discussed and decided, after consultations with the Chief Minister, will be announced tomorrow morning," Jaitley said.
Shettar will be the third Chief Minister in four years in Karnataka, the only southern state having BJP government, and his nomination will mark the second change in 11 months. Gowda, who replaced Yeddyurrappa after the latter was removed in the wake of corruption charges, earlier said he was ready to quit whenever asked by the party high command.
"I have said whatever decision the central leadership takes, I am prepared to accept. That means if they ask me to quit the post, I am prepared. If they ask me to continue, I will continue," he told reporters after reaching here from Bangalore in the afternoon. Seemingly unperturbed by the decision to remove him, Gowda said he extend all cooperation to his "good friend" Shettar.
"Shettar is very good friend of mine. He is more senior and more experienced. I will always give him full cooperation to him and if I want to give any suggestion for the betterment (of administration), I will personally visit him and give my suggestions," he told reporters. Seemingly relaxed, Gowda said that he had strived hard to give corruption-free administration in the state where he was the second Chief Minister in the four-year old BJP Government.
Yeddyurappa, who was removed unceremoniously last year after being indicted by the Lokayukta in corruption cases against him, has been demanding removal of Gowda and replacing him with his close associate Shettar. While being ready to quit, Gowda said, "My intention is that we all should remain united and ensure the party`s victory in the next Assembly polls….Ultimately, party is important, organisation is important."
Asked whether he would become the president of the party`s state unit, he said, "I have no ambitions. I will not demand any position. I would like to remain as an ordinary worker. Party gave me everything. Party gave me Chief Minister`s post which I did not demand. With the cooperation from all, I strived hard to deliver good administration– without any scope for corruption." Earlier, he said the decision on leadership should not be delayed as the state was reeling under drought.
"Immediately they (party high command) should take decision as 123 talukas are under severe drought and people should not feel that political disturbance in the state is affecting the functioning of the government," he said. "I want to impress upon my leaders that immediate decision should be taken and whatever it may be, the administration should go on smoothly," Gowda said. Congress said the change of guard would not help and there should be fresh elections.

*edit, April 8, 2017 – I'm going to tidy this up a wee bit. Nothing content-wise is changing. I will include a link to a previous blog post, by myself, about CBC censorship and add a couple more links, one to a terrific Off Guardian article, by Kit, that should cause anyone inclined to give Trump the benefit of the doubt in regard to the US attack (directly) on Syria pause. (Of course, by Trump I mean the deep state and its tentacles, including liberal interventionists, think tank reps, pro imperial 'experts' in op eds and interviews and compliant media.) The other link will be to a very, very pertinent article by Michel Chossudovsky. I find it disheartening that people like Noam Chomsky and Craig Murray seem in need of any such info. It's people like those who I am usually learning from. In Chomsky's case, I don't know whether he's slowed down in his own research and now depends on (not solid) researchers for keeping abreast of developments or old age or both. It's bad enough that he has a close association with traitor (fake progressive) Amy Goodman. As for Craig Murray, He may be a friend of Julian Assange – whose org, Wikileaks, is the recipient of lots of info, which they helpfully share with us when others won't – but that doesn't mean that everytime something like this attack happens, Wikileaks will have all the inside info about it right away or even ever. Also, I assume that Craig is rather focussed on subjects like Scottish independence, which doesn't mean that he can't be interested in Syria. It just means he may not be focussed on Syria and may therefore miss things. If he also doesn't read around online, by which I mean read around in the alternative media, then we'll find him coasting on the not up to date info he has, which won't be valueless, but….
Source: U.S. cruise missiles strike Syria airbase as Trump reverses position after gas attack – World – CBC News
The CBC, Canada's shining (not) state broadcaster, is still on board the project to rehabilitate nazism. With its censorship of voices, like mine, that endeavor to give an objective and non US foreign policy (and therefore a non Canadian foreign policy), anti NATO, anti fascist view of current events, the most current major event being President Donald Trump's (let's say) decision to attack Syria, it has revealed that it is irreformable and toxic to Canadians seeking truth and guidance, not because exposure to my voice is the only way others will be informed but because if this is how the CBC approaches informing us, then the CBC is part of the problem (of the people lacking important information). My comment ('comments' if you count my repeated efforts to break through to its reader- and viewer-ship) in regard to the recent launching of Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syria, with 23 of them hitting the Syrian Airbase (named Al-Shayrat) in Homs, destroying 6 Mig-23 aircraft in repair hangars, stood no chance of seeing the light of day on the CBC website.
This is terrifying. And if it's terrifying for normal, informed people outside of Syria, it will be unimaginably terrifying for Syrians. It must also terrify a lot of Russians who wonder what their fearless leader is doing. The Russians would have (if normal procedure was followed here) been notified of the impending missile launch. (And Putin would have come to an understanding with the US before that, is my feeling.) He seemed to be taking necessary steps to keep Russia's borders, where he is able to, free from malevolent NATO forces that the world knows is moving in on Russia (with a great deal of assistance from neonazi governments across eastern Europe). Did he cut a deal with Trump (who speaks for the Deep State which will let him sit on the throne as long as he doesn't make trouble for, or interfere with, it), who is irrational and clueless (but not so clueless that he can't see and be hurt by the deep state's control over him)? Trump can't be left to his own devices in the area of geopolitics. He can blather on – about enemies and free trade and whatever, imagining that people who want to hear him (white working class yahoos) think he sounds presidential and feeling inflated as a result – but he will need a great deal of management. A controlled Trump isn't really better than a free Trump, but if he were free, he might step away from the neocons' violent, destructive, terrifying great game plan, which Obama, despite his public bellicosity toward Syria, did (which was uncharacteristically brave for that tool). As it is, with Trump's failure to defend Michael Flynn (who is less anti Putin than others), who the deep state targetted for removal, Trump has indicated that he's agreed to the 'deal' that he couldn't refuse. At least that's my reading of things.
The Tomahawk missile launch, which wasn't very damned effective (only 23 of 59 missiles reached their target!), might have seemed to Trump's self-centered mind to be an act of independence and presidential firmess, but How is doing what those who control you want you to do an act of independence? What a dangerous idiot.
"Trump's 'Wag the Dog' Moment" by Robert Parry
Robert Parry:
======== o
Similarly, now, Assad's military has gained a decisive advantage over the rebels and he had just scored a major diplomatic victory with the Trump administration's announcement that the U.S. was no longer seeking "regime change" in Syria. The savvy Assad would know that a chemical weapon attack now would likely result in U.S. retaliation and jeopardize the gains that his military has achieved with Russian and Iranian help.
The counter-argument to this logic – made by The New York Times and other neocon-oriented news outlets – essentially maintains that Assad is a crazed barbarian who was testing out his newfound position of strength by baiting President Trump. Of course, if that were the case, it would have made sense that Assad would have boasted of his act, rather than deny it.
But logic and respect for facts no longer prevail inside Official Washington, nor inside the mainstream U.S. news media.
o ========
British Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford:
CNN SHOCKED SPEECHLESS When Congressman Questions Syria Chemical Weapons Story:
Many others are noting the nonsense of the neocons' position in regard to the alleged recent chemical weapon attack by Syrian forces (in Idlib province), although Syria's chemical weapons had already been taken to be destroyed on a U.S. ship specially configured for that purpose per the Russian-brokered agreement made with Syria back in 2013.
"Syria Chemical Weapons Red Flags and False Flags" by Chris Taliano
"Child-Beheading-Terrorist Supporter Wins Getty and Sunday Times "Defining Images" Award 2016" by Vanessa Beeley
"Al-Qaeda Gets An Oscar" from Moon of Alabama's blog
"Pentagon Trained Syria's Al Qaeda "Rebels" in the Use of Chemical Weapons" by Michel Chossudovsky
Kit, at the fantastic Off Guardian website, penned a good, well rounded article going over past actions of the US and Western realm of the global deep state, leaving us without justification for an attitude of trust toward Trump et al: "Idlib chemical attack: A sign no change of policy is on the horizon"
Are the terrorists good at staging? Setting aside the pro government and pro deep state attitude (which comes from an actual intertwining of those institutions) of Hollywood/CIA/Pentagon, leading to obscene events like awards being given to terrorists (White Helmets and their associates, like 27-year-old Mahmoud Raslan the reporter, who goes by Rslan on his Facebook page), they deserve oscars! Just check out this unpolished, but utterly damning, documentary called Tapestry Of Terror. As the YouTube account holder, Chris Sedlmair, warns, download the video before (guardian of 'real' news) Google kills it. There's plenty of free YouTube downloaders out there, for now. If you upload videos you download to YouTube, select 'unlisted' first. Then share the links carefully. I am not an expert on YouTube and can't say how it all works, but I'm guessing that that can at least slow down Google's censorship.
Regarding the final image, below, I obviously meant to change my name (not expecting, at this point, anything to come of it) to yoronmyblogcbc. I left out the 'l'.

Hey there! I hope you feel like you're being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy cotton ball right about now, because that's my intention behind this. (That would totally be my Libra rising talking. My Capricorn moon is all like, "Somebody get her emotions under wraps.")
Anywho, I'm so glad you're here, and I hope you'll stay a while and poke around the site. If you're wondering who I am, what I do, and why I do it, then you're in the right place.
About Ardelia
Before you hear my story, check out some basics about me. Think of this as Ardelia 101.
Sun sign: Taurus
Rising: Libra
Moon: Capricorn
What this means for you
I'm stable, dependable, and practical. But I'm also warm and friendly around people, and I make friends easily. I'll work my tail off for you and send you all the hugs you could possibly want. But I'll also do the same for tough love. See that Capricorn moon? I don't allow my emotions to cloud things up too often, so if you want sympathy, you'll get it, but there won't be bucketloads of it. You can cry on my shoulder, but after that, we're going to dust you off and get back to work.
Human design type: Projector
Soul's purpose: Direction + guiding others to find their paths
Defined centers: Throat and Identity
What this means for you
I can see the big picture, and I'm here to guide you to your path. (Seriously. Everyone's soul purpose is in their human design. Mine is about direction and guiding people.) Because I'm a projector, I intuitively understand and read people well. I rock in 1:1 settings because that's just how my aura works.
Also, I only have two defined centers in my human design chart, so I really can pick up what you're energetcially putting out. I can feel your emotions and your fears. I can pick up on your thoughts and understand your desire and drive to work. That works well for you because it means that I intuitively know what you need to move foward. A connection that intimate (and working with projectors is always intimate) works in your favor.
You won't get away with much because I understand you. (And really, if you want to grow and do the deep work, that's a good thing.)
Favorite things to do: Write creatively, read, and rock out to oldies
How this impacts you: I will send you Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter Gifs. I will also reference them at least once a week.
The What and The Why
What I Do
Mentoring: I support my clients as they discover their human design and what it means to live in alignment with their strategy. I guide them as they learn how to work with their energy. When you start living with your human design strategy, it really is creating a whole new way of life, and that takes time and support. Learn more about my mentoring services here.
Content Strategy: I also guide my clients as they learn how to create an aligned (and FUN) content strategy. It's not always easy for people to ese the big picture and create content systems. That's where I come in. My systems are simple and easy-to-use, and they help my clients stay on schedule and get the most from their content. Learn more about my content strategy services here.
Why I Do It
I love guiding people, and I can usually see what the best next step is for them. (When I was a kid, I would tell people what to do all the time. Turns out I'm not really bossy. I just saw what no one else did – the best things to do.)
I also want my clients to experience the amazing benefits that come with living in alignment with their human design and working with their energy. Things usually become so much easier – business growth, marketing, even life itself has the potential to change.
I'm a systems person, and inefficiency is something that I loathe (just ask my husband any time I have to deal with the government). I can look at a system, and after poking around in it for a bit, come up with a solution that makes things easier for everyone. And really, business owners can't afford to have inefficient systems, especially when it comes to their content.
This is my soul's purpose, and I've finally found what I enjoy and what I'm good at. It uses all my strengths for the good of all. I think the more important question is "How can I not do this?"

(Get ready for a story. My Gate 56 is all like "Time to tell a story! YAY!")
I started this business in January 2018 after a really rough 2017. See, Featherwild is my second business because my first one didn't work out so great.
I started my first business, which was a copywriting business, in 2014. I had just moved from Texas to Michigan with my husband an then 9-month-old daughter. I had no connections in Michigan and no work experience. But I did have a BA and MA in English. So I decided to put those degrees to use as a freelance writer and later as a copywriter.
And it freaking sucked. Seriously, I hated being a freelance writer. Being a copywriter was a little better, but it still felt like hard, draining work.
Actually, everything about my copywriting business felt hard – marketing myself, booking clients, doing the work. It was a massive struggle. I was anxious and stressed all the time. And I wasn't making a whole lot of money – just enough to squeak by most of the time.
So in 2017, I decided that things would be different. I diligently followed conventional online business marketing strategies…and things still didn't work out. In fact, I booked fewer clients in 2017 than I did in 2016…and I was following all the right strategies.
I was heartbroken. I was heading into 2018 knowing how to run a business, knowing all the strategies…but still unsuccessful.
My mentor then mentioned something called human design. She said that I was a projector, and I said, "Ok." and then promptly forgot about it. Well, over Christmas I got the idea for another business, for Featherwild.
I wanted to help women avoid my fate of doing all the right things and still failing. (Little did I know how much human design would play into this business back then.) So in January, I officially opened the doors to Featherwild.
It's changed a lot since January, but the mission here has remained the same – to guide women as they find their own unique path.
Human Design + Alignment
Over 2018, I worked with my human design type (projector) and strategy (wait for the invitation). The more comfortable I became with them, the more things opened up for me. Running this business didn't feel difficult at all. In fact, I actually enjoyed it.
And this blew my mind, because I had only experienced business as hard, stressful, and frustrating. But working with my human design meant that I was able to run Featherwild from a place of alignment. Things were easier, and they just came to me.
Now, was it always rainbows and unicorns? Nope. I had to adjust to living and working with my energy, but I'm so glad I did, because that enabled me to discover more about myself (like my soul's purpose) and how I wanted to live.

|Mark Henry Barraud
Nipper (1884–1895) was a dog from Bristol, England, who served as the model for a painting by Francis Barraud titled "His Master's Voice". This image was the basis for the famous dog-and-gramophone trademark, one of the world's best-known, that was used by several audio recording and associated company brands, including Berliner Gramophone and its various successors, affiliates, and successors, including Berliner's German subsidiary Deutsche Grammophon; Berliner's American successor the Victor Talking Machine Co. (later known as RCA Victor and then RCA Records); Victor's Bluebird label; Zonophone; Berliner's (and later Victor's) British affiliate the Gramophone Co. Ltd. (informally known as His Master's Voice) and its successors EMI and HMV Retail Ltd.; the Gramophone Co.'s German subsidiary Electrola; Zonophone; and onetime Victor subsidiary the Japan Victor Company (JVC).
Nipper was born in 1884 in Bristol, England, and died in September 1895.[1] He was a mixed-breed dog and probably part Jack Russell Terrier,[2] although some sources suggest that he was a Smooth Fox Terrier,[3] or "part Bull Terrier".[4] He was named Nipper because he would "nip" the backs of visitors' legs.[5]
Nipper originally lived with his owner, Mark Henry Barraud, in the Prince's Theatre where Barraud was a scenery designer.[6] When Barraud died in 1887, his brothers Philip and Francis took care of the dog. Nipper himself died of natural causes in 1895 and was buried in Kingston upon Thames in Clarence Street, in a small park surrounded by magnolia trees. As time progressed the area was built upon, and a branch of Lloyds Bank now occupies the site. On the wall of the bank, just inside the entrance, a brass plaque commemorates the terrier that lies beneath the building.[7]
On 10 March 2010, a small road near to the dog's resting place in Kingston upon Thames was named Nipper Alley in commemoration of this resident.[8]

In 1898, three years after Nipper's death, Francis Barraud, his last owner and brother of his first owner, painted a picture of Nipper listening intently to a wind-up Edison-Bell cylinder phonograph. Thinking the Edison-Bell Company located in New Jersey, USA,[5] might find it useful, he presented it to James E. Hough, who promptly said, "Dogs don't listen to phonographs". On 31 May 1899, Barraud went to the Maiden Lane offices of The Gramophone Company with the intention of borrowing a brass horn to replace the original black horn on the painting. Manager William Barry Owen suggested that if the artist replaced the machine with a Berliner disc gramophone, that he would buy the painting. The image became the successful trademark of the Victor and HMV record labels, HMV music stores, and the Radio Corporation of America, after the acquisition of the Victor company in 1929. The trademark was registered by Berliner for use in the United States on 10 July 1900.[9] (See His Master's Voice for a complete history of the brands based on Nipper.)
|It is difficult to say how the idea came to me beyond the fact that it suddenly occurred to me that to have my dog listening to the phonograph, with an intelligent and rather puzzled expression, and call it 'His Master's Voice' would make an excellent subject. We had a phonograph and I often noticed how puzzled he was to make out where the voice came from. It certainly was the happiest thought I ever had.
|— Francis Barraud[10]
The slogan "His Master's Voice", along with the painting, was sold to The Gramophone Company for £100 (equivalent to £10,628 in 2018) – half for the copyright and half for the physical painting itself.[11] The original oil painting hung in the EMI boardroom in Hayes, Middlesex, for many years.
Logo variations
The revised painting substitutes a disc gramophone
1910 Deutsche Grammophon logo on Swedish disc
1910 British Gramophone Company
1921 Victor Talking Machine company advertisement
Revised RCA Nipper logo introduced in 1977
The iconic image of a terrier-mix dog, Nipper, looking into a phonograph became an international symbol of quality and excellence for the Victor Talking Machine Company.[12] Nipper lives on through the brand names; he even appeared in ads on television with his "son", a puppy named Chipper who was added to the RCA family in 1991.[13] Real dogs continue to play the roles of Nipper and Chipper, but Chipper has to be replaced much more frequently, since his character is a puppy.
Nipper continues to be the mascot of HMV stores in countries where the entertainment retailer has the rights to him. Both RCA Records and EMI have reduced the use of Nipper in the global music market due to the fragmented ownership of the trademark.
Victor Company of Japan (JVC) also uses the logo within Japan, which includes the "His Master's Voice" slogan.
A huge, four-ton Nipper can be seen on the roof of the old RTA (former RCA distributor) building now owned by Arnoff Moving & Storage[14] and located at 991 Broadway in Albany, New York.[10] A second, slightly smaller one was purchased by Jim Wells from RCA in Baltimore for $1. After spending many years on private property in Nipper Park in Merrifield, Virginia, perched over Lee Highway (U.S. Route 29), it has now been returned to Baltimore, Maryland, where it originally graced the former RCA Building on Russell Street. Nipper now sits atop the Maryland Historical Society building at Park Avenue and West Centre Street in Baltimore. Though smaller than the Albany Nipper, Baltimore's includes a gramophone for Nipper to listen to. The Baltimore Nipper was saved when the Virginia site where he briefly resided was sold to developers. It is currently the location of a group of town-houses. The street leading to the development is named Nipper Way.[15]
A small statue of Nipper can be seen perched above a doorway in the Merchant Venturers Building on the corner of Park Row and Woodland Road in Bristol; this building, part of the University of Bristol, stands near the site of the old Prince's Theatre.
A life-size ornament of Nipper appears in the music video to Cyndi Lauper's song "Time After Time."
In May 2017, the City of Albany held a contest for various groups or artists to submit designs for creative, painted Nipper statues which were placed throughout the city. Ten of the contestants were chosen to create 10 Nipper statues - which were displayed for one year and then auctioned off for charity.[16]

Director's Message: Good news in the FY18 budget
Last Friday, the President signed into law a final fiscal year (FY) 2018 spending bill, which funds the government through Sept. 30, 2018. The $1.3 trillion package significantly increases investment in research and development, providing $34.5 billion for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The details reveal a promising picture for Argonne and its mission.
The FY18 bill provides $6.3 billion to support fundamental scientific research and infrastructure investments within the DOE Office of Science, our lab's largest source of funding. This represents a $900 million or 16 percent increase over previous year funding. Additionally, the offices of Nuclear Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the National Nuclear Security Administration, are also significantly increased over FY17.
In other good news for Argonne, the FY18 bill specifically includes $93 million for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Upgrade — allowing us to continue on schedule toward our goal of welcoming scientists to the new light source in 2023. Also included in the bill is $110 million for Argonne to continue working to bring the first exascale computer to the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) by 2021. Enhancements to the APS and ALCF position us well for the future, providing powerful boosts to the speed and sophistication of discoveries by our own researchers and the over 6,700 users who visit the two facilities each year.
Also included in the FY18 spending bill is $44.5 million for Argonne to continue construction of the new Materials Design Laboratory and $24.1 million for the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) to continue its work on beyond lithium-ion batteries. The bill also directs DOE to move forward with a five-year renewal of JCESR.
With the completion of the FY18 federal budget process, Congress will now turn its attention to FY19. Last month, the President released his FY19 budget request to Congress, marking the first step in a long, complex process that will proceed over the next several months. As it did with the FY18 budget, Congress will review and consider the President's FY19 proposal and then set its own federal spending priorities for the coming fiscal year. I ask for your continued patience and support throughout this process. We can focus on our priorities, bolstered by the support Congress has just shown for the important work of the lab.
Thank you for your hard work, commitment to the laboratory and supporting our strategy for our future success. Together we are building on Argonne's proud history of discovery and innovation, so we can be known for our ideas and for safely delivering lasting impact on society.
From making world-leading discoveries, to increasing safety and managing risk, to creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment, we all have roles to play.
I encourage you to talk with your leadership to gain insight into Argonne's strategy, ask questions and offer suggestions. As always, I invite you to join me at Conversations with Kearns. The next one is scheduled for Tuesday, April 3, at 10 a.m. in Building 402, Room E1100.
Again, I thank each of you for helping Argonne to change the world with its science. It is a privilege to lead this laboratory.

I haven't seen this many people gathered in one place since they took the group photo of all the criminals and lawbreakers in the Reagan administration. 225 of them so far. 225 different people in Ronald Reagan's administration have either been fired, arrested, indicted, or convicted… of either breaking the law or violating the ethics code. Edwin Meese alone has been investigated by three separate special prosecutors and there's a fourth one waiting for him in Washington right now. Three separate special prosecutors have had to look into the activities of the attorney general! And the attorney general is the nation's leading LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICER! This is what you gotta remember. This is the Ronald Reagan administration–these are the LAW AND ORDER people. These are the people who are against street crime. They want to put street criminals in jail to make life safer for business criminals. They're against street crime so long as it isn't WALL Street.

The development of next generation swimsuits gets inspiration from beavers. A team of researchers from Cambridge-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA and visiting scientists from France took inspiration from semiaquatic rodent beavers to derive a mathematical model which could be used to develop swim suits and functional coating processes.
Beavers keep themselves dry and warm with the help of furs arranged in two forms with guard hairs repelling water and preventing its penetration to the under layer and the skin. The team endeavored to get greater understanding of the engineering mechanism behind this natural process in beavers.
Not only, the team got the inspiration from nature, the research grew out of an interaction with an international wetsuit maker, Sheico Group. Professor Anette Hosoi of Mechanical Engineering at MIT lead a team of students to Taiwan and while interacting with Sheico Group was asked about using biomimetic approaches to find solutions to problems in developing future swim suits.
Student Alice Nasto fabricated the beaver fur structure using polydimethysiloxane. These fabricated hair structures were plunged into silicone oil so that video images of trapped air can be obtained clearly. This experiment showed that spacing between hairs and speed of plunging played important roles in determining the amount of air trapped.
According to Hosoi, this model will enable designers to know if the fur structure they are designing will trap air or not. Jose Bico of Paris states that understanding air trapping mechanism is also important in industrial coating applications, such as dip coating. Biomimetic and wearable technologies have potential but their practical applicability and economics aspects need careful study to make commercially successful products.
