Work-related injuries result in about $170 billion of expenses for businesses each year. The pain and frustration of a work-related injury is only the beginning, with the worker's compensation process exacerbating an already stressful situation.
When it comes to arborist safety, one of the best ways to reduce workplace injuries is to ensure each employee has the proper equipment and tools. It's very important for workers to be properly trained to handle equipment, stressful situations, and anything else that may occur.
Necessary Safety Gear
Arborists in the field must deal with heavy equipment, power lines, and much more while working on trees. Having the necessary gear is essential to completing a job safely.
While arborists likely have personal preferences when it comes to ropes and hitch cords, there's no room for debate when it comes to having equipment that meets the safety requirements for climbers. These options include 12-strand, 16-strand ropes, 24 stand, and static ropes. A climbers preference may change depending on their climbing system , but make sure your choice is guaranteed to keep you safe.
Another important piece of safety equipment is the climber's helmet. When dealing with heights, helmets must always be worn. While hard hats might suffice for someone working on the ground, a climber's helmet also protects the sides and back of the head.
Additional safety gear that should always be required includes eye protection, ear muffs, climbing gloves, and clothing that protect against chainsaws.
Tree Trimming Safety Tips
Tree work can be dangerous. Consider the following tips to ensure arborist safety during jobs:
1. Complete an assessment before you begin
One of the best ways to ensure arborist safety is to complete a pre-work assessment. Every job may require different gear or a different strategy. The necessary strategy and gear may even differ from tree to tree on the same job. Higher climbs will require fall protection harnesses or even an aerial lift. If a ladder is needed for the job, it will have to be tied off on a sturdy branch.
Equipment inspection should be a part of every pre-work assessment and the process should be repeated once the job is finished. Arborists can't afford to work with harnesses, ropes, and carabiners that aren't in great condition.
Don't be afraid to reschedule a job if you are worried about safety. Wind, rain, or ice could put an arborist at risk, especially if the job includes aerial access or climbing.
Operate efficiently and safely.
2. Don't overlook rope color
It might not be a primary concern for arborists, but rope color should not be overlooked. Ropes are an important aspect of arborist safety during a job. If a rope fails or is accidentally cut, it could damage equipment or even result in serious injury or death.
When it's time to buy ropes, make sure to pick colors that stand out during a job. Pink, yellow, orange, or other bright fluorescent colors can really make a difference. Mistakes are bound to happen if the ropes blend in with the tree or foliage. Select your rope color depending on the job at hand.
3. Check for weak branches before you climb
This safety tip can be incorporated into the pre-work assessment, but arborists must pay attention as they climb trees during the job. Split, weak, or dead branches should never be used for support. If you encounter branches like these as you climb, make sure to break them or cut them off immediately.
Failing to properly assess branch integrity could lead to accidents. Even if the branches seem sturdy, it's best to climb slowly and only move one step at a time. Additionally, try not to put all your weight on a single branch. Distributing your weight evenly will reduce the risk of breaking a branch.
If the tree itself is dead or unsafe, an aerial lift might be the best choice for the job. If using an aerial lift, always remember to utilize proper fall production P.P.E. while operating.
4. Don't mess with power lines
This arborist safety tip might seem obvious, but there are certain guidelines to follow to ensure worker safety on jobs near power lines. The first step is to avoid using conductive tools near power lines. Pole trimmers, ladders, and a variety of other tools fall into this category. Treat all power lines as if they are live. Even downed power lines can seriously injure or kill workers.
In addition to using the proper tools, workers should always keep a good distance from power lines. If it's absolutely necessary to get close to power lines to complete the job, contact the utility company before proceeding. They can cover the lines with insulated hoses and you can safely complete the job.
5. Don't work alone
If you have to climb a tree for a job, make sure to have another worker on the ground. This worker can assist you if you run into problems and can even save you in the event of an emergency. Arborists should always be trained in first aid and CPR just in case.

Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana's remarks in open court on Thursday sends a strong message to the government that the Supreme Court is prima facie convinced that sedition is being misused by the authorities to trample upon citizens' fundamental rights of free speech and liberty.
The Chief Justice has sent a clear signal that Section 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code may have passed its time. The CJI has made it clear that the court is sensitive to the public demand to judicially review the manner in which law enforcement authorities are using the sedition law to control free speech and send journalists, activists and dissenters to jail, and keep them there.
In a way, the court has questioned the need for the continuance of Section 124A — a colonial provision which was used to jail the Mahatma — in the law books of a modern democracy. This is a step away from the court's own Kedar Nath judgment of 1962 which had upheld Section 124A but read it down to mean any subversion of an elected government by violent means. The court will have to re-examine whether this 59-year-old judgment holds in the modern context when the State is itself using a punitive law to impose serious burdens on free speech.
The CJI's reference to low conviction rates under the sedition law resonates with a petition filed by senior journalist Sashi Kumar highlighting the "dramatic jump in charging a person with the offence of sedition since 2016".
"In 2019, 93 cases were on the ground of sedition as compared to the 35 cases that were filed in 2016. The same constitutes a 165% increase. Of these 93 cases, chargesheets were filed in a mere 17% of cases and even worse, the conviction rate was an abysmally low 3.3%," Mr. Kumar, represented by advocate Kaleeswaram Raj, has noted. National Crime Records Bureau reports show that in 2019, 21 cases of sedition were closed on account of no evidence, two were closed being false cases and six cases held to be civil disputes.
Recent cases
Mr. Kumar had referred to the sedition cases registered against climate activist Disha Ravi, filmmaker Aisha Sultana and journalists Vinod Dua and Siddique Kappan.
The CJI's observations culminates the resolve shown by the Supreme Court in recent months to examine the sedition law.
In May, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said "it is time to define the limits of sedition". The judge had flagged the indiscriminate use of the sedition law against people who aired their grievances about the government's COVID management, or even for seeking help to gain medical access, equipment, drugs and oxygen cylinders, especially during the second wave of the pandemic.
"This is muzzling the media," Justice L. Nageswara Rao, another Supreme Court judge, had noted while considering a plea made by two TV channels, TV5 and ABN, against the Andhra Pradesh government for using the sedition law to "silence" them. The CJI Bench issued notice on Thursday to the government on a petition filed by the Editors Guild of India to quash the sedition law. Senior journalist Arun Shourie has also challenged the constitutionality of Section 124A.
Justice U.U. Lalit, in his recent judgment quashing a sedition case against Mr. Dua for his alleged remarks about the Prime Minister and the Union Government in a YouTube telecast, upheld the right of every journalist to criticise, even brutally, the measures of the government with a view to improve or alter them through legal means.
The time is long past when the mere criticism of governments was sufficient to constitute sedition. The right to utter honest and reasonable criticism is a source of strength to a community rather than a weakness, the judgment had recorded.

What You Need to Know About Google Analytics
Google Analytics provides a lot of data when it comes to visitor behavior analysis. This includes bounce rate (the percentage of visitors that view one page), sessions (a collection of interactions within a 30-minute window), pages/session, goal completions and conversions. Get started now to learn more about all the data that is available through this program. Here are some ways to understand these reports. In addition, discover how to use these metrics to make your business more profitable.
To know how users are interacting with your website, you need to understand some basic metrics. The average time spent on each page is one metric that you can use to improve your website's performance. The session quality metric shows the number of pages viewed per session. The session quality metric can also help you identify which channels are struggling with engagement. Lastly, there is the conversion rate, which is the pan-ultimate metric in web analytics. The conversion rate measures how many visitors complete the desired actions, like signing up for your newsletter or making a purchase.
If your pageviews are high, it could indicate that visitors have not engaged with your site. A website that isn't popular with the masses may have a low average pageview count. The average session length may not reflect user engagement. It is therefore not possible to use this as a key performance indicator.
Google Analytics gives you a great overview of your site's usage, in addition to the previously mentioned KPIs. Google Analytics also gives information about how people found specific pages or products. You can create the website you want to attract the best traffic by understanding what visitors are searching for. You can also use the analytics to improve your paid campaign, email marketing, or social media campaigns. You can increase the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns, and eventually make more sales.
Google Analytics metrics also show you the amount of traffic to your site. You can get traffic from search engines or direct sources. It can be difficult to identify the source of traffic. Therefore, it is important to know where visitors come from. You can choose to display this information in the Behavior report and the Source of the traffic in the Audience report. If you want to learn how to make improvements in the customer experience, you can customize the content and design to make it more relevant to those countries.
Google Analytics dimensions refers to various levels of organizational structure. A user may have multiple sessions, while one session can contain multiple hits. Google Dimensions include the User Type and New Sessions. For E-Commerce Analysis, the product level scope can be used to determine which metrics matter to a specific product. This type of reporting also compares user behavior across different segments. The more detail you can get, the better it will be.
There are many ways to combine the various dimensions of Google Analytics. While Google offers default measurements, you can create custom descriptions to measure a unique set of characteristics. For example, you can combine the Sessions metric with hit-level dimensions to learn which keywords resulted in phone calls. You can also combine dimensions and metrics to collect information about your website's time-of-day usage and logged-in users. You can import non-Google Analytics data into Google Analytics.
You can set custom dimensions or hit them. After custom dimensions have been registered, they aren't visible in GA4 reports. To implement custom dimensions, send the data to GA4 along with the registration of the parameter. The data may take 24 hours to appear in reports. It can take 24 hours for a custom dimension to show up in reports. Therefore, it is best to wait at least one day before you implement it.
You can view qualitative data when you use Google Analytics dimensions. If you're an ecommerce merchant you might be able to use the dimension values landing page to find out which pages are popular with new customers. Similarly, if you're an ecommerce merchant, you can use the dimension value landing page to learn about the performance of your products. In addition to analyzing how well your products perform in each category, you can also view metrics that measure how well they rank on different pages.
Google Analytics offers powerful features to isolate subsets of data to analyze and compare separately. These filters are applied to the overall data and can include dimensions and metrics such as Returning Users, Bounced Sessions, and Converts. You can compare data and analyse it in greater detail. Segments can also be used for many years, even after they are deleted. These are just a few of the many benefits that segments offer:
The behavior segment is an effective way to segment users according to their behavior. The date of the first visit, the number of visits, and the frequency can all be used to target certain audiences. You can also segment users by their browsing history and behavior, including transactions. You can create custom segments based on these characteristics, as well. You can also use the source of traffic option to narrow down your data to specific users. UTM parameter tags can be used to further segment users by source.
You can create user-based segments that allow you to choose the dates your visitors will be able to visit your website. The date ranges typically span between 93 and 96 days. Users can apply up to 1,000 segments to a single view. The default date range for user-based segments is 93 days. If a user has more than 1000 sessions in the window, it will be treated as bot traffic. This way, you can see which pages are popular and which ones are not.
You can use Google Analytics to create customized segments and metrics when you analyze the data. Google Analytics offers a number of pre-defined segments and default system segments. You should review the available segments before creating yours. It is easier to compare results when you have custom segments. These segments can be used to analyze data. In the end, you'll know which ones are most profitable for you. So go ahead and make use of Google Analytics!
ID of the user
The User ID feature allows you to monitor your customer's behavior and track the various stages in their journey. It is important to note that User IDs only work when the user logs into your website. This feature is required to be able track anonymous users. You can also use it in conjunction with other identifiers like email addresses. For example, if you collect email addresses on your website, you can use the User ID as an extra identifier to tie up sessions in Google Analytics.
First, enable the User ID feature within your Google Analytics account to get started. You can enable this feature on any website that provides login functionality or social media platforms. This feature should be enabled before you set up Google Analytics. After activating the feature you need to embed the tracking code on your site and then send IDs from Google Analytics. Follow these steps to get started.
A Google Analytics User ID is a unique combination of alphanumeric characters that identifies a website user. This feature can identify a single user across different devices and browsers, making it easier to measure and track the behavior of specific people. It also allows you to associate multiple sessions with the same user across multiple devices. This is especially helpful for cross-device measurement. It also helps to fix attribution problems. If you're a business owner, you may consider setting up a Google Analytics User ID for your website or app.
A User-ID, which is an identifier that enables you to track users' experience, is a crucial part of user tracking. Regardless of how many people visit your website, you must understand how their behavior differs from that of a non-logged-in user. You can track every user and find out what they do. The user ID can be used to track users' activity on a different device. You can integrate the user ID feature in your analytics account.
User retention
One way to measure customer retention is to look at how long a person spends on your website. By looking at time spent on your website, you can determine whether you're building a customer base or simply keeping your current customers happy. Other metrics you should consider include average order value, negative testimonials, and direct or indirect communication with your customers. Google Analytics will help you determine how long users spend on your site. Read on for more information.
The data retention period you set in Google Analytics is entirely up to you. Retaining user data will help you build custom reports or apply custom segments to your reports. You should remember that advanced features such as custom reporting or creating unique reports require the event and user data. You'll have to delete data in the next month if you reduce your retention period. If you want to determine the audience's value, change the retention period from one to three months.
The cohort chart is the best way to measure user retention. If 100 people go to your site on September 9, then two of them will come back on September 16, and 10 on September 10. This shows how much people are returning to your site and how many new users you've acquired. To understand how long a user has been on your site, you should track the number of visitors who come to your website through paid ads and organic search. Google Analytics will help you figure out how many visitors are returning to your site.
Cohort analysis is another useful tool. Cohorts are groups of users with a common characteristic. For example, a user with the same Acquisition Date (ACD) as a new user will be grouped into the same cohort. You can use cohort analysis to determine how many customers return after a period of two or eight days. This analysis is very valuable for industries and B2B companies that require long-term commitment.

77285 Skeletal Champion
Lord of the Dish Pit posted a topic in Show Off: PaintingConverted him to be the standard bearer for the upcoming spearmen unit. Being Bones, his right arm was easy to reposition for this. The banner is the Goggle Latin translation of "Wrath of the Great Pumpkin". I also had to cut down the rock base he came on in order to get him not to tower over the ranks. I probably should've used green stuff instead of Testors modelling putty when forming the staff, but it did provide a nice wide surface to glue the banner to.

Sagittarians can be very attractive with their funny ways and at the same time how they kiss with style. They know where people are tickling and can lustfully kiss them there, putting their tricky tongue to work in order to obtain some sort of reaction.
More than this, they're becoming too passionate and thirsty for love, just to become sarcastic again, one second later. These natives are known as fun and giving with their other half.
Sagittarius kissing in a nutshell:
- Sagittarius people are kissing like no others because they're putting all their passion in;
- Archers are adventurous even when it comes to their kisses and the timing;
- The Sagittarius man needs to be kept wanting.
- The Sagittarius woman may be the type who's making jokes whilst making out.
They're the ones who truly love offering pleasure. For this reason, they're offering their praising and many kisses to those who ask for it, not to mention they're the type who are wrestling their partner and covering him or her in playful kisses.
Sagittarius kissing style
It can be said Sagittarius people are kissing like no others because they're putting all of their physicality to work, together with their mind and heart.
This way, they're locking lips with their love and throw away inhibitions, in order for the perfect satisfaction to be obtained.
When smooching, these exciting personalities are putting fingers through hair and hugging their other half with a lot of love, just to get to foreplay.
These natives are definitely the ones who are teasing others with their eccentricity and meditative state of mind.
More than this, they're too spontaneous and don't actually have a rhythm. They like to keep their partner waiting, so he or she is always left wanting more.
When kissing, they can astonish with the adrenaline that runs through their body and therefore, their heartbeat.
It can be said Sagittarians are kissing happily, as well that they're sensual when trying to reach their partner's desires.
The most optimistic out of all Fire signs, they can go wild if stuck in an elevator with a person they like.
Their kisses have a taste of adventure because they're tickling with their tongue and are always going for a deeper connection.
Before joining lips, they're making jokes and trying to make the person they like see how funny they are. After the flirting has ended, they can start to kiss in the most explosive manner.
Adventurous, Sagittarians are also pretentious when it comes to love. More than this, they're never making their emotions available and need to kiss someone who's helping them be more sensual.
The signs that can have a way to their heart are Aries and Aquarius because these people are daring and a little bit rude, meaning the Sagittarius is opening to their kisses.
Archers are adventurous and love acting blindly, which can be seen in the way they're kissing. More than this, they have many different styles of joining lips, from profound and slow to short and sweet.
The good news is that they're fine with anything, which is making them even more attractive. Regardless of the way they're kissing, they still need to relate through emotions.
They're fine with all sort of kisses
Sagittarius people are all about pleasure and making their partner happy. They don't care too much about themselves and are sometimes giving kisses on the cheeks.
When it comes to the way they're moving, these natives are very charming and can enthrall anyone.
They want to cover their partner in kisses and to compliment him or her before starting to play around because they simply love teasing and entertaining their lover.
When starting, they're first sweet and giving short kisses, just to become passionate afterwards. When this is happening, they're using a lot the down lip and pushing their lover to the bed.
As a matter of fact, Sagittarians are famous for some dirty ways they're having, also for always wanting more from their partner, but never forgetting about spontaneity.
They love massages in their legs' areas because this is making them go crazy, as well more sexual.
As well, they're independent and radiating optimism, meaning they're always kissing happily. When feeling their best, they just want to jump on top of their partner and to make him or her feel their positive force.
This means they're aggressive kissers, yet not like the domineering Scorpios. They're like this because they can't simply help themselves from "invading" their partner.
When in love, they necessarily want to kiss before anything else, and they're most of the time getting what they want.
Kiss a Sagittarius man
When it comes to romanticism, Sagittarius men can close themselves up. They want the unexpected and to live dangerously, so their partner shouldn't look them in the eyes until ready for something.
The Sagittarius man needs to be kept wanting. He can charm with his love, but he's not the best choice when it comes to commitment.
After all, his symbol is the Archer, meaning he's always looking to hunt. Exploring is what he wants the most, as well to be free.
This man can look everywhere for the perfect woman, so he can have many lovers to make him happy with every day that passes.
His sense of humor is enthralling, but he hates superficiality and hypocrisy. The lady of his dreams needs to smell incredibly because he's very sensitive when it comes to smells, not to mention he likes citrus flavors.
From their experience, they can be the prefect lovers because women love him for being honest and for making love in an intelligent way.
In the bedroom, the Sagittarius man is enthusiastic, enjoyable and joyful. Seeing he's always active, he's the most compatible with other Fire signs, as well with the intellectual Air ones.
He doesn't go well with domineering Water and Earth ones because these may end up having no more energy around him.
Those who are looking to be with a Sagittarius should look at what's making them strong and their social life. As well, they should never try to annihilate their partner's dreams.
Kissing a Sagittarius woman
Since Sagittarius people aren't taking kissing seriously, why would the woman in this sign. She doesn't want to ruin the fun she's having with something as profound as a kiss because she's as well too fun and positive.
For this reason, she may be the type who's making jokes when making out, but also the one who's never overwhelmed by first kisses.
This girl wants relaxed romances, also to have a lot of fun. However, she doesn't like superficial and fake people. The more adventurous a person is, the more she needs to hold on tightly to them, in a loving manner.
If in love, the Sagittarius woman is highly energetic and more fun, radiating energy and being happier.
More than this, she's becoming passionate, a thrilling attitude and a more adventurous approach. She likes smart men, so when finding someone worthy of her talents, she's looking to share all of her pleasure in order to get him into her bed.
She simply doesn't want to stay for too long in only one place because she needs to explore and to have more intimate connections than any other zodiacal signs. She thinks new romances can teach her many things, no matter if she gets hurt or not. Plus, she won't kiss and tell.

The necessary sacrifice of time to achieve success in recovery
At Foundations, we offer an intensive mentorship program to any sex addict willing to commit himself to the work. It is a long term, difficult process that requires intensive accountability, discipline, and commitment. Unfortunately, ours is a culture of popcorn fixes: Quick, convenient, and often enjoyable. Many a man has balked as I shared with him the requirements expected should he pursue the Mentorship Program. In general, I can summarize the responses in a single word: "time". Over and over again, the greatest fret is that of how much time he would be expected to devote to the program, both weekly and over its entirety. Though common, this response is quite illogical.
Let us suppose a man, having experienced severe, increasing pain over the course of many years, decides to finally visit the doctor. The doctor orders a barrage of tests and scans, which this man begrudgingly participates in. A few days later, he is once again in the doctor's office, where the doctor approaches him with a most somber attitude. He is told in serious tones that he has a deadly disease which, if left untreated, will eventually destroy him. The man is not terribly surprised to learn this, as he suspected it was serious all along. The doctor then clearly describes a proven but difficult treatment that will take time and effort weekly for a length of almost two years. Though exhaustive, the treatment, if followed, will establish in him the necessary health to not only be unhindered by his illness but to achieve even greater heights of health than he can imagine.
What do you suppose the healthy response of such a man would be? Clearly, he should set his life in order and begin the treatments as soon as possible. For what good will his time be to him, should he die an early death, preceded by misery? Perhaps this example is farfetched, but the reality is actually quite a bit worse because addiction not only destroys the man but also that which he holds sacred: his wife, his children, and his faith. With such invaluable things at stake, what shouldn't a man do to find health?
This is not a topic unfamiliar to Scripture. Jesus spoke about the level of effort expected when dealing with sin in His Sermon on the Mount:
Matthew 5:29-30
"If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell."
Jesus treated habitual sin with a seriousness that is unheard of in today's culture. By commanding such an extreme response to sin, He left no room for excuse when looking at lesser approaches. In comparison, the sacrifice of time is much less than the sacrifice of a limb. As a ministry, this is the same attitude we take towards addictive and unhealthy behavior; and this is why we often say: "You moved mountains for your addiction. We expect you to move mountains for your recovery."
There is a cost to living a life of pleasure that cannot be undone. As is written in Hebrews: "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as when they provoked me" (Hebrews 3:15) And, later: "Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it." (Hebrews 4:1). So, let us also be careful to live daily in obedience, obtaining the promise given by and through Christ Jesus, as He says, "I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10b).
As the old plumber says: "You can pay me now; or, you can pay me later."
James 4:17
Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

This is a classic alien abduction story, perhaps one of the first to be widely noticed and circulated. It's about Antonio Villas Boas who helped out on his parents farm in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, near to the town of Sao Francisco de Salles. At the time of his abduction he was 23 years of age.
At first many wrote off the story as some kind of fantasy by an uneducated peasant but 21 years later, when the story resurfaced, Villas Boas had become a respected lawyer with his own practice and was happily married with four children. He still maintained his story was true.
To start at the beginning, it was 1957 and on the night of the 15th and 16th of October Antonio Villas Boas was working on his parents fields. At about 1am he saw what he described as a 'large red star' descending out of the sky towards the end of the field he was ploughing - with the help of his tractor's lights.
He became frightened as the red light hovered above him to within 150 feet. He then realised that it was egg shaped with a definite rim, in which there were purple lights. The upper part of the object was spinning in an anti-clockwise direction and as it landed near him it changed colour from red to green.
Antonio's natural reaction was to get away as quickly as he could but the tractor engine died after only a few yards. He jumped out of his vehicle but was grabbed from behind by four 'creatures' no more than 5 feet (1.5m) tall. They managed to overpower him and dragged him to the craft.
He was forced up some sort of ladder and found himself in a small, square brightly lit room.
His captors were wearing tight fitting suits of a thick, soft, unevenly striped grey material. They wore large helmets on their heads through which he could see their small, pale blue eyes.
He was taken to another room, this time oval shaped, and the aliens tried to communicate with him. He described their voices as, 'totally different from anything I had heard ... They were slow barks and yelps, neither very clear nor very hoarse, some longer, some shorter, at times containing several different sounds all at once ... I still shudder when I think of those sounds, I can't reproduce them."
As their attempts at communication failed they stripped Villas Boas of his clothes and they wiped his body with a liquid with something like a sponge. From here he was directed to yet another room which had an inscription over the door in strange letters (as reproduced below). The script has no link with any known language.
The aliens took a blood sample from him and he was then left alone in the room. A strange odour filled the atmosphere which made him physically vomit.
After what he took to be about half an hour the door opened and in walked a nude women who was "more beautiful than any I have ever seen before." The woman's height was about up to his shoulder. The inevitable happened.
"The woman came towards me in silence, looking at me all the while as if she wanted something from me, and suddenly hugged me. At the same time I felt her body glued to mine and it was also moving."
He described the experience as a 'normal act' followed by 'another act'.
Afterwards it dawned on him that, "all she wanted was a good stallion to improve their stock"
Before the woman left the room she pointed her to her stomach and then upwards to the sky. Several interpretations have been put on this action, perhaps meaning she would have a child on her own planet.
The other aliens returned with his clothes and, after showing him fully round the craft / UFO, he was returned to the ground. From there he watched the UFO take off and disappear into the sky like a bullet. Antonio estimates he was in the craft for about four and a half hours.
Following the experience he claimed to have suffered from nausea and weakness, as well as headaches and lesions on the skin. Dr. Olavo Fontes of the National School of Medicine of Brazil examined Antonio Villas Boas and concluded that he had been exposed to a large dose of radiation from some source and was now suffering from mild radiation sickness.
The abduction wasn't widely circulated for 12 years but he appeared on a television programme in Brazil in 1978. He told exactly the same story with one minor difference. Regarding his second 'act' with the woman. He described this as her taking a sperm sample from him.
A few other alien abductions have also involved sexual encounters, most notably Betty Andreasson.
As to what people believe generally about alien abductions or even simple UFOs is an individual choice. As I have written previously Carl Jung considered UFOs to be "a symbol of humanity's state of mind, projected on to the environment.
If aliens and UFOs do exist, are they from other planets or maybe from something within our own Universe existing in parallel with it? The answers are no doubt out there - somewhere.

All the classic elements! Stories like this make me wonder about the material that surfaces from time to time about alien/human hybrids.ReplyDelete
I never realised such things went on with abductions but it makes sense. Alien / human hybrids as in the Trish and Rob McGregor comment sounds possible - wow. Raises a lot of questions and possibilities.ReplyDelete
I had such a weird experience while pregnant that this story is one I would tend to believe.ReplyDelete

The inscription is fascinating, as is the story.ReplyDelete
Whenever we are people watching at a large public event, my husband or I always seem to comment, "And people don't believe in aliens?"

In the temple, the statues of deities, namely, Lord Adinath, Lord Rishabhdeo, Lord Neminath, Lord Mahavir Swami and Lord Parshvnath, are present in five different shrines.

This is Fumero's third and final installation this summer above the 2nd ave subway stop.
This last feature at the 2nd ave stop, titled "Grafstract," is a perfect ode to Fumero's journey and character as a street artist. In 2010, Fumero had a painting featured at a gallery show in NYC called "Graffolution." The gallery was an exhibit highlighting the evolution of street art and graffiti through the work of well-known artists such as Billi Kid, Matt Siren, The Me Nobody Knows (TMNK), and Royce Bannon. In an interview after the show, Fumero was quoted using a new term he created for this kind of art, "Grafstract," representing the fusion between graffiti and abstract art. It quickly caught on in the space with Fumero's work attached to it.
In all of Fumero's works you can see his fine art details blending into an abstract backdrop and graffiti tags, creating a unique blend of styles that is now known as Fumeroism or Grafstract.
To learn more about Grafstract, check out the official site here.
If you didn't catch Fumero's first installation at the 2nd ave stop titled "The Grampa," read my post about it here.

- Qwell, delivered by Kooth, is accessible for anyone over 26 in the area, with no referrals, waiting lists or thresholds to meet

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Transfer
The Seattle Sounders have transferred Homegrown winger Henry Wingo to Norwegian side Molde FK for an undisclosed fee, the club announced Monday.
Wingo, 23, has made 22 appearances (3 starts) in three seasons since signing a first-team contract with the club.
"Henry is a promising young player that has played extensively at all levels of our club's pipeline," Sounders GM and President of Soccer Operations Garth Lagerwey said in a club statement. "When he wasn't getting consistent minutes with the first team, he was able to utilize our USL side to get games under his belt and continue his development, allowing a move like this to be possible. He's always been a good pro and we wish him the best of luck going forward."
Before joining the Sounders, Wingo spent three seasons at the University of Washington and has appeared in 31 USL contests with Tacoma Defiance, with six goals and two assists.
"As a Seattle native and a member of the Academy going back to his teenage years, I am confident that Henry will go and do his best at Molde," said head coach Brian Schmetzer. "He's a good, athletic young player with potential, and I'm keen in following the next step in his career."

Description: Audio reading of Terrance Dicks' 1982 novelisation.
Cover blurb:
"Attention to detail is the hallmark of this always excellent range"
Everyone knows that Pluto is a barren, airless rock. So naturally the Doctor is surprised when he discovers artificial suns and an ultramodern industrial city.
What's more, a group of colonists is being worked ― and taxed ― to death in this inhospitable and supposedly undeveloped part of the Universe.
With the help of his companion Leela, and the faithful K9, the Doctor teams up with the rebels who inhabit the city's underbelly. Together they take on the mysterious and powerful Company, a ruthless exploiter of planets and their people.
Louise Jameson, who played Leela in the BBC series, reads Terrance Dicks's unabridged novelisation of the 1977 TV adventure by Robert Holmes, starring Tom Baker as the Doctor.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor of France and military expert who conquered much of Europe, once made the following observation: "There lies a sleeping giant. Let him sleep! For when he wakes, he will shake the world." Napoleon was talking about China, and his observation was amazingly accurate. Even more remarkable is that it was made more than two centuries ago.
No one can deny that China is awake and shaking the world. It has the largest population and the second largest economy. It also has one of the most powerful militaries, more foreign exchange reserves than any other country, is the largest producer of gold, and has the largest reserves of rare earth metals - substances crucial for making many high-tech items.
That's not all. China also is one of only a handful of countries that have safely landed their rockets on the Moon. And it is believed to be developing a large variety of state-of-the-art weapons and producing them in great quantity - including what one US admiral called "dazzling" weapons for use against satellites in space. By anyone's measure, it has become an economic and military superpower that is flexing its muscles in Asia and beyond.
And yet, despite these enormous strengths, China also has an Achilles' heel - in fact, it has two - and they're starting to show. Those are economic and demographic. The way China deals with these will affect global tensions, trade, and other important issues - possibly for years to come. Almost certainly, America will be impacted one way or another.
The China Card
China has made huge strides in modernizing its economy and building new infrastructure. Millions of jobs were created during this process. Some of them, in technology and manufacturing, produce high-value goods and pay enviable salaries. However, many more offer low salaries or middle income at best.
Overall, Jim Rickards, an investment banker, economist, and author, is not especially impressed. "China remains reliant on assembly-style jobs and has shown no promise of breaking into the high-income ranks," he says. "A cheap labor pool and infrastructure investment are not enough to do that. They need applied technology to produce high-value products. This explains why China has been so focused on stealing US intellectual property."
In his view, China remains a fundamentally poor country that has little chance of improving the standard of living of their citizens beyond their current level. And this presents a serious challenge to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules the country.
Power Play
According to Rickards, in order to remain in power, the CCP has to do more than simply provide people with jobs, goods, and services; it also has to raise their standard of living. If it fails to do that, social unrest could break out - unrest so widespread that it could threaten the survival of the CCP and drive President Xi Jinping and his government from power.
A solution seems obvious: All the Chinese government has to do is borrow enough money to boost the economy and create more quality jobs.
But China already has so much debt that "Adding more would be counterproductive," he says. "In fact, it would slow the economy and call into question China's ability to service its existing debt."
More economic problems are the last things China needs. Rickards believes their banking system is essentially insolvent. Moreover, it is also experiencing a real estate bubble. Up to half of the CCP's infrastructure investments are a complete waste. Finished projects, including skyscrapers, train stations, sports arenas, and even cities, remain vacant and brand new. "The CCP has driven growth with excessive credit, wasted investment and Ponzi schemes, and now it is facing a dilemma with no good way out."
The Missing Millions
Economic woes usually are visible, while others, such as demographic problems, are not. But this does not mean they are not real or serious - and China has that, too.
Even back in 1980, it had a humongous population, growing every year and straining vital resources. The government decided to curtail population growth by limiting the number of children families could have to one. They were certain this would solve the problem, because on average families need 2.1 children to maintain the population.
The solution was worse than the problem. The Chinese have a cultural preference for boys over girls. When the one-child policy was implemented, many people used pre-natal tests to determine the baby's gender. As many as 30 million baby girls were killed immediately after birth. This slowed population growth, but it also created a major demographic problem, as now there are some 30 million more men than women.
"They will never marry," says Rickards, "and likely will be the least talented, poorest, and prone to alcohol, drug abuse and violence." China now allows families to have three children, but reversing the demographic damage will take decades. Meanwhile, their manufacturing, exports and employment are being hurt.
Strange Combination
China's economic and demographic problems have nothing in common with each other. However, if the CCP feels threatened by worsening economic problems, it could bring them together to stay in power.
The 30 million people, who are of military age, could be turned into a formidable army. They would sacrifice little of their personal lives and give up few financial opportunities. The Chinese Government would have a powerful new bargaining chip simply by implying the 30 million would be turned into a military force, intimidating countries near and far without ever doing anything.
Is this already happening? Could this be one of the reasons the CCP has become so aggressive toward so many of its neighbors?
The most obvious ways countries fight is with tanks, planes, and missiles. But they can also use trade, currencies, pharmaceuticals and even food as weapons. Thirty million unattached men of military age could be an even more powerful tool in the CCP's arsenal.
Let's hope this conjecture has no basis and that somehow a solution is found for China's unprecedented demographic problem. If not, the political tensions and dangers we see today will be nothing compared to what lies ahead.

Winners and losers from 'HBO 24/7 Red Wings-Maple Leafs: Road To The NHL Winter Classic'
By now, if you've watched "HBO 24/7 Red Wings-Maple Leafs: Road To The NHL Winter Classic" this season, you've had time to consume the season finale.
Overall, it wasn't the best of the three seasons. If you're looking for a postmortem on it, check out our interview with HBO exec Bentley Weiner. Also, our reviews for Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3 and Episode 4.
Here are some winners and losers from the third season of "HBO 24/7", and hopefully we get many more of this still-remarkable show.
Winner: Randy Carlyle
One minute he was the folksy grandpa, cracking goofy jokes and disliking like all that techno music, and the next he's a foul-mouthed coach asking for his players to take accountability for their lack of competitive fire. Granted, the man will never live down his inability to work a toaster, but at least that now supersedes his inability to coach a defense that doesn't allow 40 shots per game.
Loser: Mike Babcock
This is one of the funniest, insightful and intelligent coaches in the NHL. But what we saw on "24/7" was a frustrated, distracted guy who spent more time wiping numbers at the whiteboard than connecting with viewers. Seriously, he was more personable in a 5-minute Winter Classic presser than he was in four episodes.
Winner: Natural Rivals
What was clear in these episodes is that the show is exponentially better when there's some actual rivalry between the teams (or players) rather than … well, whatever the Wings and Leafs were to each other. The internal struggles for success within a team only carry you so far; that there are stakes or bragging rights involved in the two meetings between the teams elevates the show's latter two episodes in ways this season's did not.
Loser: Forced Banter
Hey, remember the worst scene in the history of "24/7":
Winner: Dion Phaneuf
Seriously, who had the Leafs captain pegged for the star of "24/7"? From the wardrobe to the Elisha time to the suspension to the trash talk to the ping-pong to the new contract, no player had the airtime or plot lines of Dion Phaneuf.
Loser: Every Other Toronto Defenseman
Meanwhile, the only other time we got to know a Leafs defenseman was when John-Michael Liles was traded on the day of the Classic.
Winner: The Florida Panthers
Featured in nearly every episode, the Panther inexplicably became the Washington Generals to the Leafs' and Wings' Globetrotters ... only they kept winning.
Loser: The Western Conference
Once again, it's an all-East "24/7", as the lockout postponed the Winter Classic for a season and the Detroit Red Wings were realigned for the 2014 edition.
Winner: Sidney Crosby
Sid The Kid became the Loki of "24/7", popping into Episode 2 of the Wings/Leafs series and walking away with the thing thanks to his mockery of Phaneuf and Nazem Kadri.
Loser: Pavel Datsyuk
Boy … maybe it was the language barrier or the injury rehab or the losing streak. Whatever it was, the incredibly insightful Datsyuk never became a less-clownish Ilya Bryzgalov as many of us hoped he'd become, as he was barely on the show.
Winner: David Clarkson's abs
Loser: David Clarkson's elbow
Winner: Brendan Smith's Parents
A hockey mom and hockey dad that kept a warm house for their boy in Ontario, including his childhood room painted in Leafs colors (his brother's favorite team).
Loser: The Lonely Existence Of The Maple Leafs Bachelors
Kadri lives in a condo that's about as inviting as Michael Fassbender's in "Shame", while Bozak and Kessel just sit around and play video games all day in their glass cage of bachelorhood.
Winner: Places We Haven't Gone Before
The Leafs giving us Dion Phaneuf contract news and then signing him on the show was pretty amazing.
Loser: Places We Couldn't Go
Besides the time the coaches kicked out the cameras, the NHL denied a bid from HBO to capture footage in supplemental discipline hearings.
Winner: Gray toques
Every. Single. Player. Wears. One. Even indoors.
Loser: Gray hair
Winner: Ping-Pong
The legendary games between Kessel and Phaneuf were given proper tribute during the show.
Loser: Soccer
Seriously, what happened to those epic kick-arounds from the Red Wings? They have, like, 40 Swedish guys and no footie?
Winner: Water Bottles
The battle between David Clarkson and Todd Bertuzzi over Jonathan Bernier's water bottle remains one of the greatest moments of the season. "I'll buy you a new one!"
Loser: Toasters
At least when they're being operated by Randy Carlyle.
Winner: Tyler Bozak
Episode 4's arc with Bozak – returning from injury and then becoming the hero of the Winter Classic for Toronto – was one of the most satisfying self-contained stories of the season.
Loser: Jimmy Howard
They spent so much time setting up Howard and his injury, to not focus on him after the he lost the Winter Classic in a shootout seemed rather incomplete.
Winner: The Winter Classic
It lived up the hype, as the game itself was thrilling and the job the HBO crew did in turning around footage in a 48-hour period for the finale was remarkable.
Loser: The Olympics
Making or missing the chance to represent your nation on the Sochi Games would seem like a thing that's dramatic and important but that's just us.
Winner: Snow
There was plenty of it in Detroit and Toronto, and then it created the perfect setting during the Winter Classic as it fell on the Big House.
Loser: Kids On The Pond
The single most tiresome cliché about outdoor hockey becomes our bookends on the Red Wings-Maple Leafs season. As our radio buddy Jeff Marek put it: "You know why so many Canadian kids skate on the pond? Because all the arena ice time is already booked."

The content of the diary
That day when you arrived at practice, you will become acquainted with the head of the organization, with staff, study the principles of its activities, structure, established rules of conduct for employees of the company. Also, you will be instructed on safety, which will be recorded in the journal of the organization. In the section of the diary, designed to record student information on the completed work, specify the appropriate date and briefly describe your first day.
For example, the "12.05.2014 arrived at the practice in the company "Stroyplast" Sterlitamak. After the distribution was sent to the General Department to the Secretary Ivanova Alexandra V., which was appointed to lead the practice in the Department of the enterprise. With her discussed is composed of the Department practice plan. A. V. Ivanov familiarized me with the internal regulations of Strojjplast, OOO, regime working day".
If you pass the practice in some public institutions, which are based on a sufficiently large number of normative acts, the study of the latter can take a whole day, it also note. This point is particularly relevant if you are a student of the legal profession. In the diary in this case it is possible to make the following entry: "27.03.2014 studied the regulatory framework governing the activities of the court. Acquainted with the records of the office".
On other days, list all work you have done for the day. A good example may be the record: "29.03.2014 g. complete inventory of materials for the cases; was involved in the formation files, studied the written addresses of citizens with complaints about violations of their rights; drafted a statement of claim".
An important moment in the course of practice in any organization is the study of archival materials. If you some days of practice I had to work with the archive, it also must be noted in the diary.
Things to remember
At the end of each working day, you need to give the diary to the approval of your supervisor. Record of the work done be sure to enter daily. This will help when writing the report. If the entry made by you is untrue, opposite her signature attached to you head. After finishing the practice, you need to give the diary to check all your entries, and affixing the necessary signatures and seals.

Concern about the proposed bonus for successful consortia is set out in NICE's response to the White Paper Liberating the NHS.
Where providers serve patients covered by more than one consortium, 'it may be difficult to determine whose commissioning is producing changes in a GP consortium's outcomes', the institute said.
NICE warned the premium needed careful planning and piloting and called for criteria to calculate how to share it among practices.
GPC deputy chairman Dr Richard Vautrey said: 'We would share concerns about this. Measuring any form of outcome is complex and needs to take many factors into account.'
Removing practice boundaries may further complicate efforts to track the causes of changes to outcomes, he said. This is because practices will be susceptible to social and economic factors from a wider geographical area.
NICE said more clarity is needed on the roles of consortia and the NHS Commissioning Board in managing practice performance.
It also expressed concerns about potential problems if populations covered by GP consortia do not match those of local
