Why the power elite wants to suppress women

Listen to a recording of this dictation (subscribers only)

Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels, June 1, 2020. This dictation was given during a webinar about the liberation of women.

I am the Ascended Master Mother Mary. I wish to continue the remarks made by Astrea on sex because there is more to be said about the topic. What you see in the world today is that sex has been turned into something that, if we look at the Fourth Ray of purity associated with the base chakra, we can say that sex has become a very dirty, a very impure activity in many cases. You see perversions of sex, degradations of sex, you see how the entire concept of sexuality has been pulled down to a much lower level than it was a generation or two ago. I am not saying this is purely caused by the sexual revolution, but it should give pause that it has accompanied the sexual revolution. Supposedly, the more free people have become to express their sexuality, the more “dirty” the expression of that sexuality has become and the more abusive it has become, especially towards women.

Why is this? Well, you cannot understand this unless you understand that there are some very narcissistic, self-centered, insensitive beings who are manipulating everything on earth to the extent that they are able to do so—to the extent that they can get human beings or the population to go along with this manipulation or to not be aware of this manipulation. The fallen beings have deliberately done everything they could to pull sex down to, first, being a purely physical activity, then being a lower activity that most people will see as something impure. Many, many people around the world can see that many of the sexual activities that are being promoted out there are impure.

Why has this happened? Well, it has happened for two main reasons: One is actually that the more impure an activity becomes (the more base, the more gross, the more primitive it becomes) the more addictive it can become for at least some people. Of course, the more impure an activity becomes, the more it can force people who engage in the activity to release energy, to release light through that activity. We have said before, for example that one of the most (we might say) efficient ways to force people to release light is through torture, which is obviously a very impure activity. The fallen beings and the collective entities in the emotional realm have absolutely no sensitivity to life, no compunctions about forcing people to release the energy that they need in order to survive and in order to do what they want to do.

The other thing that is part of the entire phenomenon of sexual addiction is that the fallen beings want to detract people from their higher goals in life. The fallen beings want to control the population, and they can do that best if the people are not activating their higher chakras, from the heart chakra and above. These are the chakras that primarily express the higher qualities, what you might call the more spiritual or creative qualities. You have the teaching given by Astrea that you have the seven chakras on a vertical line, and the lowest of the chakras is the base chakra and the energy descends first to the base chakra.

There is actually a reason for this, and it is that the base chakra is not only the center of the sexual function and the sexual organs, but of the life force that is needed to drive the physical body, to keep the physical body alive. When you are in a physical body, you might say that the basic need that you have is to keep the physical body alive because that is the foundation for your spiritual growth. That is why the energy first descends there; it upholds the physical body, upholds the nervous system, upholds the brain. Then, when these basic functions of the physical body are taken care of, the energy that is left over can rise up through the higher chakras, first the heart chakra, then throat, third eye, and crown chakra. As these centers are activated, people become more aware, they become more spiritual, they become more connected, more intuitive, more connected to the whole.

The fallen beings want to stop Christhood

This is what the fallen beings want to prevent because people who are spiritual and who are walking the path to Christhood (which you can only do when all seven chakras are activated) are a threat to the fallen beings. They cannot be controlled by the fallen beings and they might show people a way out of the control. They want to get as many people as possible to concentrate the energy in the base chakra as a diversion so there is not enough energy left over to rise up. When a man is addicted to sex for example and spends most of his attention on sex and his time and energy engaging in sex or fantasizing about it, then this pulls his energy out through the base chakra and there is very little left to rise up to activate the other chakras.

There are of course many agendas that the fallen beings have. You have the entire concept, as Astrea said, that some religions believe that it was sexual activity that caused the fall of man. You have today, where you see sexual activity becoming more and more dirty, and all of this works together to create an attitude that is very much out there in the collective consciousness, but often is unspoken or not written down. You can find it written down in some specifically eastern religions and also in the Christian religion, and it is that sex is contrary to your spiritual growth, is an enemy of your spiritual goals, the limitation of your spiritual growth. You can therefore find the whole ideal that you see outpictured in the Catholic church where priests are not allowed to marry and they, therefore, supposedly should not have sex, which of course you all know is largely a lie. At least some priests do manage to be celibate for a lifetime. You have many eastern religions, gurus, the whole concept of monks and nuns and sages and spiritual people who are living a life of renunciation. They are living as recluses and they are abstaining from sexual activity and many other physical activities.

You have this ideal that has been created that spiritual growth means that you have to not have sex. What is one of the purposes of this? It is to prevent as many people as possible from following the spiritual path so they do not become a threat to the fallen beings. The fallen beings have at the same time sought to inflate the sexual desire of most people, both men and women. People are forced with this choice, they think, between giving up sex, having sex or pursuing the spiritual path. In other words they think they have to give up sex in order to really pursue a spiritual path, so many people do not want to pursue a spiritual path. They either do not know about it or, if they are confronted with it, they do not want to give up sex in order to grow spiritually.

Sex is not inherently anti-spiritual

The first thing I want to address here is that, from a spiritual, ascended master perspective, there is nothing inherently impure or anti-spiritual about sex.  You are in a physical body on earth. One of the activities you can do with this physical body is to have sex. There is, from an ascended master perspective, nothing inherently impure about many bodily activities. Now, this does not mean that I say sex is always pure because, as I have said, sex can become one of the most dirty and debased of human activities, but that goes for any activity. There is nothing inherently impure about it. It is entirely possible to be sexually active and walk the spiritual path, including the path to Christhood or Buddhahood while being sexually active.

Why do you then have this ideal, going far back? Well, partly because of the fallen beings, partly because there is of course a certain reality here. As I have said, there is a certain amount of energy. Dependent on your level of consciousness, there is a certain amount of energy that descends from your I AM Presence into your four lower bodies. In order to make spiritual progress, there has to be some of that energy that rises up to the higher chakras and activates those chakras. The question simply is: How much of the amount of energy that you are receiving at any given time is used in what we might call physical, bodily activities in the physical octave, and how much of it is left over to activate the higher chakras? It is simply not necessary, as Gautama Buddha also discovered after living as an ascetic for six years, to renounce all worldly or physical activities in order to pursue spiritual growth. You have to find a way so that all of the energy you receive from your I AM Presence is not spent on physical activities, so there is something left over to rise to the higher chakras and activate them. This of course means that you have to look at the activities you engage in, and you have to look at how much energy you are spending on these activities and this includes sex.

It is perfectly possible, and in fact, we have said several times that the ideal for the Aquarian Age is not that spiritual people live an ascetic lifestyle, but that you live an active life in society (have a family, have a relationship),  but you are still pursuing spiritual growth. You need to evaluate then that you do not need to refrain from having sex, but obviously you cannot go into the extreme that men, who are addicted to sex are into, of spending most of their time and energy on sexual activity. Then, there is nothing left over. You need to find a more balanced approach to this and this is what you really can do only when you live in a committed relationship with one partner and you are dedicated to fulfilling each others needs, both sexual and otherwise. You can help each other with the physical needs and to deal with these needs, to take care of these needs, in such a way that you both have energy left over to rise up to the other chakras. In other words, this is simply a spiritual reality. It is so to speak the economics of spiritual growth. There has to be a balance between the money coming in and the money going out—basic economic theory.

This is what has then been perverted by the fallen beings into these ideas that sex is an enemy of your spiritual growth, will stop your spiritual growth, or even prevent it entirely, even prevent your salvation, which some believe. We are not saying that you cannot make spiritual growth by renouncing sex. For some people it can be the fastest way to make spiritual growth and they may still want to do it. What we are saying is that for the majority of people in this age and cycle we are in, it is not necessary to do this. You can actually in many cases make faster spiritual growth by living an active life in society, living in a relationship, because this brings out your reactionary patterns so you have a chance to see them.

There are people, both in the past and now, who have lived the life of a recluse where they sit in an isolated, controlled environment and meditate all day. While it can lead to some growth, it will not in many cases lead to the fastest growth because when you are in a controlled environment, what stirs up your reactionary patterns, your separate selves? You can very easily get yourself in a state of mind where you think you are spiritual, you think you are in harmony but it is simply because nothing stirs up your unresolved psychology so you do not see it. You believe you do not even have it. There are people who have sat there for years and decades in a meditative environment and made hardly any progress in that time. That is why an active life is what we recommend for most people in this age. There can be exceptions and you need to follow your intuition on this.

What I wanted to say here is this (just as a conclusion): sex is not in itself an impure activity, it can become a very pure activity. If two partners are dedicated to helping each other grow spiritually, they can purify their sexual desires, they can purify their base chakras, they can protect themselves, cut themselves free from these collective entities. They can resolve their separate selves relating to sex because all of you (all of us who have been in embodiment) will have such separate selves related to sex because of the manipulation that has been going on for so long. Once you do this, you can actually be sexually active in a way that does not detract from your spiritual growth.

The rest of this dictation, along with an invocation based on the dictation, is found in the book: The Spiritual Liberation of Women

No no, FIWARE Cloud is an experimental environment that FIWARE offer to you free in order to develop your components. Like any other Cloud, we offer virtual machines with different flavours in which you can install your components and work with them independently of the own resources that you have.

FIWARE Cloud or FIWARE Lab, how is also known, is distributed around the world, which gives you the possiblity to select the node that you want. The only requirement that we say is that due to it is open source environment, the components that you put there should be free or open source. If you plan to obtain in sort time some revenues from your developments you have to move to a FIWARE commercial node or any other cloud environment to keep the activity up and running.

I suppose your instances are based on nova storage and not on cinder, so instances on nova storage are based on two qcow2 files, one is the glance image, and the second one is instances differences from glance image. When you start live migration the destination nova-compute (hypervisor), if haven't glance image on his cache -> for example because there aren't any instances running on it based on your glance image, the nova-compute node first have to download from glance this image and then it could migrate your instances.

9 Facts Everyone Should Know about Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for maintaining your health, but many people don’t know just how important it is. Almost all of us at one point or another have experienced low vitamin D levels, whether we have realized it or not. Symptoms often manifest as poor energy, insomnia, compromised immune system, and mood imbalance. That’s why I want you to know these 9 facts about D. Everyone needs to know these, so let’s dive right in!

Vitamin D: What You Need to Know

You probably already know that the best source of vitamin D is the sun, something all of us rarely get access to on a daily basis. Without appropriate sunlight exposure, our vitamin D status decreases and our health follows. Here are a few things you should know about vitamin D:

1. Most of Us Don’t Get Enough Vitamin D

In the U.K., not only is the recommended daily allowance (RDA) much lower than in the U.S., but also many people don’t realize how important this vitamin is for bone health. [1] Because of this, many kids and adults there don’t get enough. [2] But while U.S. RDA can sometimes be as high as 4000 IU, a higher guideline doesn’t mean all Americans will get enough either. Since you get Vitamin D from both diet and sunlight, make sure you’re getting enough.

2. Vitamin D is Insanely Good for Your Health

Some experts say Vitamin D not only helps in bone health but can also aid in heart, brain, and immune system function, even noting that lower levels can be associated with asthma. [3] Some suggest it could even protect against certain forms of cancer. [4] It’s fairly well established, though, that maintaining proper levels can stave off infections and prevent bone brittleness. [5] [6]

3. Vitamin D Can Cut the Risk of Breast Cancer

I’m not saying a vitamin D supplement will cure or prevent breast cancer but a recent study suggests spending some time in the sun each day can reduce your risk for breast cancer. This exposure stimulates Vitamin D production in your skin, and that alone could cut your risk for breast cancer in half. [7] Opt for around 20 to 30 minutes of sun exposure per day without sunscreen.

4. Vitamin D May Reduce Risk of MS

In Scotland, where sun exposure is typically low, there’s a push to supplement the nation’s food with Vitamin D. One source of Vitamin D is from the sun. Because of this, much of the population is deficient, and some experts blame that deficiency for a high rate of multiple sclerosis—one of the highest in the world. Studies suggest there could be a link between the two, and that Vitamin D could offer some neuroprotective effects. [8]

5. Vitamin D Supports Verbal Communication

I wouldn’t have thought about this unless I’d read the study but a recent report suggests pregnant women with low Vitamin D levels are two times as likely to have children with language difficulties. [9] It’s important to remember that a developing baby relies entirely on the mother for vitamin D. This makes it doubly important for expectant mothers to get enough of the vitamin!

6. Vitamin D Deficiency is Linked to Autism

With sunlight as a main source for Vitamin D production, increased sunscreen use, declining vitamin levels, and rising autism rates have had many wondering if there could be a connection. [10] While one study noted that autistic children do, in fact, have lower vitamin D levels than non-autistic children, more studies must be done before drawing a conclusion of any kind. [11] Regardless, it certainly seems to show how important Vitamin D can be to brain health.

7. Low Vitamin D is Linked to Premature Death

In a worrisome discovery, low vitamin D levels have been linked to premature death. [12] Research has found that individuals with low blood levels of vitamin D had a doubled risk of premature death compared to those with a higher level. If you’re curious, your doctor can do a simple blood test so you can know your current levels of Vitamin D.

8. Low Vitamin D Boosts Risk of Dementia

I’ve already mentioned vitamin D’s suspected role in brain health. A recent study even suggests low levels can boost a person’s risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s. [13] As we age, our skin becomes less able to convert vitamin D from sunlight, so while it’s too early to draw conclusions, these findings could lead to updated guidelines for vitamin D levels in those over age 65.

9. Fears of Skin Cancer May Lead to Vitamin D Deficiency

More evidence is stacking up for Vitamin D’s influence on health: one study even suggests it could protect us from high blood pressure, heart disease, and even stroke. [14] But fear of skin cancer is keeping people out of the sun, and that is leading to low levels of D. Consider getting your sun exposure in the morning or evening when the sun’s rays aren’t as strong.

One Final Thought

Vitamin D is crucial for the healthy body, but getting enough can be tricky as there aren’t too many foods that naturally contain the nutrient. With all we’ve heard about milk and healthy bones, you’d think dairy products would be a great source. While milk does contain Vitamin D, it might be time to rethink all you know about milk and bone health. One study suggests it’s not as helpful as originally thought when it comes to preventing bone fractures. [15] Since finding the right amount in foods can be tough, a vegan-friendly supplement like Suntrex D3™ is an easy way to always make sure you’re getting the nutrition you need to support your health.

HALIFAX -- New Brunswick Public Health is reporting 14 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, bringing the total number of active cases to 119 in the province.

The new cases include four cases in Zone 1, nine cases in Zone 2, and one case in Zone 6.

To date, the number of confirmed cases in New Brunswick is 495 and 369 have recovered. There have been seven deaths, and the number of active cases is 119 with no one in hospital – 123,883 tests have been conducted.

The four cases in Zone 1 (Moncton region) are as follows:

  • One individual under 19
  • One individual 20-29
  • Two people 40-49

The nine cases in Zone 2 (Saint John region) are as follows:

  • Three people under 19
  • One individual 30-39
  • One individual 50-59
  • Two people 80-89
  • Two people 90 and over

All cases in Zone 1 and Zone 2 are self-isolating and are under investigation.

The single case in Zone 6 (Bathurst region) is an individual in their 30s and is travel-related. The individual is self-isolating.

“All of the cases in Saint John currently have been linked. I think that’s as much as I can say right now,” says chief medical officer of health Dr. Jennifer Russell. “We’ve seen these outbreaks in other parts of the province before; we have experience now in terms of how to rapidly deploy the PROMT team and really get on top of the situation as quickly as possible.”

As of Sunday, health officials say Zone 2 won't be moving to the Red level of New Brunswick's recovery plan – but that possibility hasn’t been ruled out.

"We meet on a very regular basis about all three zones that are in the orange phase to continue to monitor those situations," says Russell. "My understanding, right now, is that they're not at risk of going to red, at least not at this point in time in Saint John – but again, that can change."

Follow-up testing recently occurred at the Parkland Saint John complex.

Tests processed at the microbiology laboratory identified six new positive cases for a total of 15 confirmed cases (10 residents and five employees).

Parkland Retirement Living is a division of Shannex, which says it's doing everything it can to contain the outbreak.

“In environments like this, there’s people providing up-close personal care that’s much needed for our residents,” says Shannex director of clinical practice and infection control specialist Lisa Snodgrass. “It’s really important we identify who is in contact, what kind of personal protective equipment they would have had in place; as we all know, masks are certainly mandatory.”

Snodgrass says all residents are doing as well as can be expected and are being provided extra support throughout the isolation-period

However, advocates are wondering how such outbreaks are continuing to happen.

“How many more people does it need to affect before we need to shut down the zone?” says Coalition for Seniors and Nursing Home Residents' Rights executive director Cecile Cassista. “I think it should be shut down now for a couple of weeks and bring this to a head.”

Members of the PROMT (Provincial Rapid Outbreak Management Team) remain on site at Parkland Saint John, providing support for residents and the facility’s clinical care team. Support includes testing and working in collaboration with the facility’s infection prevention control specialist to strengthen infection control measures.

The next round of mass testing will occur over a two-day period starting Monday.

HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia's weather prompted a staggered start to the launch of Canada's most lucrative lobster fishery on Monday as a fishing union said it's hoping for a peaceful and safe season.

The federal Fisheries Department said fishers in Lobster Fishing Area 33 on the province's south shore were able to proceed with dumping their traps on Monday morning.

But the department says the opening of the fall season in the adjacent Lobster Fishing Area 34 along the southwestern coast is delayed due to high winds.

Lex Brukovskiy, president of the Maritime Fishermen's Union Local 9, said the next possible day they can dump their gear will likely be Wednesday, with a decision expected by Tuesday morning.

The 36-year-old fisherman was elected to his post this fall as tensions escalated over an Indigenous fishery launched in St. Marys Bay by the Sipekne'katik First Nation.

The situation developed into a series of violent clashes and vandalism that culminated in the burning of a lobster pound that had held Indigenous catch.

Brukovskiy said in an interview on Monday his membership is making efforts toward reconciliation with First Nations, while continuing to oppose Sipekne'katik fishing outside of the federally regulated season.

"We're trying to make progress with everybody, starting with Sipekne'katik," he said.

"We're trying our best here to figure this out in the most peaceful way."

Brukovskiy said he and another non-Indigenous fisher assisted an Indigenous boat that was taking on water on Saturday, as they would for any boat in distress. He also said he's met with the Indigenous fishers in Saulnierville several weeks ago to explain his point of view.

"We acknowledge the treaty rights, but we feel that the way they practise their right is concerning at the moment, because we don't feel it's good for the sustainability of the stock," he said.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Sipekne'katik Chief Mike Sack announced there was a draft memorandum of understanding between his First Nation and the federal Fisheries Department that would allow his band to legally sell lobster harvested this fall.

A spokeswoman for the federal Fisheries Department confirmed on Sunday a draft agreement had been sent to the band, while also noting that talks are continuing.

Brukovskiy said the possibility that the deal could sanction Indigenous harvesting outside of the federally regulated season is worrying for non-Indigenous fishers as they set their traps.

"It creates a lot of uncertainty," the 36-year-old fisherman said. "Nobody knows what the deal is, or what the proposal is, and we feel these decisions are being made without our input."

Sipekne'katik has been fishing based on the Supreme Court of Canada's recognition of Indigenous treaty rights in its landmark 1999 Donald Marshall Jr. decision.

The ruling affirmed the right to fish for a "moderate livelihood," though the top court later clarified that the federal government could regulate the fishery for conservation and other limited purposes.

Last year Nova Scotia exported $2.3 billion in seafood products to 80 countries, with lobster being the highest value export.

The province issued a news release on Monday saying it's expected there will be about 1,600 boats and 6,400 crew members on the water for the start of lobster fishing season.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 30, 2020.

Achievement & Assessment Institute

The center’s primary assessment system, Dynamic Learning Maps® (DLM®), is designed for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. DLM assessments are available in English language arts, mathematics, and science and are administered in 20 states. ATLAS also develops and delivers customized alternate assessments in social studies for individual states.

ATLAS partners with the Kansas State Department of Education to provide the Kansas Assessment Program, including general summative assessments in English language arts, mathematics, and science, to support educators and policymakers in evaluating student learning and to meet the requirements for federal and state accountability. The Kansas Assessment Program also includes interim academic assessments, the Kansas English Language Proficiency Assessment (KELPA), and the Career Pathways Assessment System (CPASS), which provides assessments to test high school students’ readiness for technical training or entry into the workforce. The Kansas Assessment Program also includes Dynamic Learning Maps and, beginning in 2020, Enhanced Learning Maps.

The Enhanced Learning Maps (ELM) project, a four-year project funded by the United States Department of Education to rethink formative assessment with our partner teachers in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The project builds on years of academic research into how to best use assessment for enhancing student achievement. ELM participating teachers receive access to a library of specially made instructional materials to be used in conjunction with the project’s proprietary learning map software, which visually depicts for teachers the many learning targets students must successively reach in pursuit of full understanding of academic standards. These tools collectively allow teachers to use formative assessment to learn how to best personalize their instruction to meet each individual student’s needs. The project seeks to serve as a shining example of properly implemented assessment for learning.

I-SMART (Innovations in Science Map, Assessment, and Report Technologies) is a four-year research project that seeks to bring rigorous science assessments to students with significant cognitive disabilities and other struggling learners. I-SMART’s goal is to narrow the gap between the Next Generation Science Standards and existing learning models in order to increase science achievement.

5E-Model Professional Development in Science Education for Special Educators (5E-SESE) is a development and innovation project to help teachers develop necessary knowledge and skills to provide effective inquiry-based science instruction for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The 5E-SESE system includes professional development modules and instructional coaching.

SWIM (Shared Writing Instructional Model) is a four-year project funded by the Office of Special Education programs (OSEP) focused on developing, implementing, and evaluating a model of writing instruction for students with disabilities in grade K-5. The SWIM system supports student progress toward achieving grade-level expectations, attainment of appropriately ambitious instructional goals, and the development of additional self-regulation skills. The SWIM project also supports teachers through an online dashboard that integrates learning map models, instructional resources, and assessments into a single interface, as well as coaching supports for implementation of the model.

Peterbilt 281-351 BETA – 1.32

Date 2018-11-07 16:58

This is the Peterbilt 281-351 For ATS 1.32-1.31 . This mod is not perfect and may crash your game at times when going to the peterbilt dealer. If you may not know, the file for this peterbilt was “damaged / corrupted” meaning that us modders can not open the file. I managed to get around this but left some problems.

When you enter the truck dealer once you enable the mod DO NOT move your mouse or click anything until everything has loaded in. If your game crashes like mine just restart it and it should be fine. Once it is loaded in go ahead and click configure and then right after go out of the config menu and back to the truck browser. At this point instead of the truck name being N/A it should now be Peterbilt 281-351 Day Cab. From there you can click configure and set up your truck as you wish. Enjoy!

PS. I did not add anything to the truck but simply just updated it to 1.32-1.31 and also this is only “Beta” because im working on a fix for getting the crashed fixed and the name of the truck in the truck browser fixed.

  1. BigJhon

    Great! Truck of the Duel movie! :-)

  2. Seeker

    For some reason when i uploaded this mod the youtube link got cut off but if you just search up on youtube 66lwmorgan it will come up. Also i just learned that when your in the truck browser screen in truck dealers if you hover over the truck too long it will crash your game.

  3. Is this mod supposed to be unzipped or put in the mod file as it is …???

    • Seeker

      You need to unzip it and just drag and drop all the .scs files into your mods folder. Make sure the FIX file is at top priority when your in the mod manager

  4. Sandking

    It crashes so much, its not even worth to be considered an Alpha…

    • Seeker

      Try it standalone with no other mods, i had some enabled and it worked for me. Sorry man, i tried to update it. The only crashes i got was when entering the truck browser

  5. brandon moffatt

    did air lines get added to the truck

    • Seeker

      no it didnt man, in the .scs files its “damaged” so i cant open the file without getting an error.

  6. mateo

    good job mate only one small problem with the left mini mirror (i cant see who is behind me i can see only the left side of the truck)can u do something to fix it? thanks for sharing this awesome truck

    • Seeker

      Sorry about that man, but unfortunately i can not open the file meaning that i cant do anything to solve that issue. You could try to re position your mirrors but i got no idea if you can even do that to the front mirrors. Sorry man

  7. Cip Cip

    really are you all blind? this is an old truck stolen from RTA (most probably)
    beta version? Maybe it was in beta in April 2017, files are hard locked, it’s only a dealer fix.
    ok the truck can run but it’s poor optimized and can you live with these interior malformed textures?
    I can’t !

    • Seeker

      Now im letting you know right now that this truck did not have that interior problem at all when testing when i updated the truck, now i dont know if you game is conflicting with something or whatnot but im telling you that this is not at all like what your saying. Search up some reviews recently on the truck, this truck i put under “BETA” because the name in the dealership was N/A and for reason that I couldnt get into the actual files and get the names of everything. So before you start trying to come at me saying im blind do some research

  8. Zuputo

    Game Crasht wenn ich den kaufen will Fix geht nicht bitte reparieren

  9. Vincent Børsum

    crashes every time i try to enter dealership

What Would It Take To Make You Run 10km?

"Elk Bath" – A wildfire on the East ...
Run, Forrest, Run (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Most of us will go through life never having run further than a few laps of the school field (usually under protest). But what would it take to make you run 10km?

  • advance warning that you’re standing next to a ticking time bomb whose debris will fall within a 9.9999km radius?
  • a race to pick up a jackpot winning lottery ticket that you know is lying under a stone 10km away?
  • a fast-moving forest fire that is chasing you towards a river 10km distant?

This may strike you as a hypothetical question – a bit like the old playground favourite, “would you rather run a mile, jump a stile or eat a country pancake?” I remember, in my unathletic childhood, aged about 8, falling for that one and choosing the country pancake – to the mirth of my interrogator, who revealed that “country pancake” is rural slang for cow-pat. (I must say that since I’ve been living in the country, never once have I heard it referred to as such. Though I still might not risk opting for the pancake option on a country pub dessert menu, just in case.)

But I daresay there is a cause somewhere close enough to your heart that might persuade you.

Laura with JDRF mascot Rufus
Laura with JDRF's mascot Rufus Bear - he has coloured felt patches on his body to remind children of the targets for their daily insulin injections.

I know I’ve found mine. In six weeks time, I’ll be running 10km, but not for any of those reasons (well, they’re not part of my plan, anyway). My reason is to raise money and fly the flag for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 3, and that day our lives changed for ever. Gone were the blissful   days of being able to eat what she liked, when she liked. Gone were the low-maintenance days of being able to travel everywhere with a small handbag uncluttered with hypodermics and hypo remedies. (I’d only just got rid of the nappy bag, too.) Gone were the carefree days of visiting hospital only  for the usual childhood A&E trips. Getting a doll’s shoe stuck up your nose is a walk in the park compared to the unmissable daily routine of blood tests and injections. Such ailments don’t put you at risk of serious long term complications, either, other than perhaps a fear of tiny footwear and long-handled tweezers.

For now, there is no cure for Type 1 diabetes. We’re stuck with the daily inconvenience, pain and stress of treating the symptoms, and the long-term angst about the eventual effects on her health. It has got easier with time: at least she no longer hides under the kitchen table and sits on her hands when we’re trying to prick her fingers for the  blood tests.

But there could be a cure, if enough more money were thrown at the problem. There are many extraordinarily gifted and imaginative scientists who are poised to take their research on to the next step, if only funds permit. That their research is funded and cure found is important not only for my small family, but for the millions of children (and the adults that they become) who are suffering the potentially devastating long-term effects of living with diabetes. And for the many children who die before adulthood because they live in countries where the treatment they require is simply not available or affordable.

If I could cure this terrible disease just by running (and what a strange world that would be), then I’d run and run and never stop till I reached the cure. But at least running the Bristol 10k – and the sponsorship I might raise and the publicity I can attract – will take us a babystep along the road to a permanent solution.

And it beats eating a country pancake any day.

4 thoughts on “What Would It Take To Make You Run 10km?

  1. Nothing like a good cause to get you out pounding the streets. I took up running after my son was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2006 – did a 5km race for life, then a 10 km one, then did the Great South Run (10 miles) in 2010. I raised about £4k for Cancer Research and the paediatric oncology unit at Southampton General Hospital – then my back decided it didn’t love me any more so I now just walk the dog. I miss it though – some of my old running buddies did the Reading half marathon today and I was looking longingly at their facebook pics…

    Well done and good luck!

    1. Thanks, Recipe Junkie! These races are addictive, aren’t they? And sometimes, when you feel totally powerless to do anything medically, being able to put on those shoes and run does give you the illusion of being in control over your or your child’s condition. Raising £4k is a fantastic achievement! And if your back dictates you can’t run, you know your cheers along the line of others do make a huge difference to those who are taking part. (Top tip for runners’ morale is to write your name across the front of your race number – then, when you’re visibly flagging, sympathetic people in the crowd will shout out “Come on, Debbie!” and suddenly you feel like a million dollars, you forget the pounding in your chest, and you run at least the next few paces on air!)

Lexus J201 Concept To Debut At Rebelle Rally

Overlanding has been a part of 4WD culture since surplus Jeeps came home from the war. The Jeep also spurred Toyota to build the FJ, which has evolved into the 2021 Land Cruiser and its luxury cousin at Lexus. The LX570 and the Land Cruiser ride on a shared chassis known as J201. Last refreshed in 2015, its time for something new. That’s why the Lexus J201 concept will debut at the Rebelle Rally.

This annual off-road challenges teams of ladies from around the world to compete in factory-backed equipment. The 10-day rally starts on October 8th, and defending champions Rachelle Croft and Taylor Pawley will have the ultimate luxury ride. The concept embodies “omotenashi” which is a Japanese practice of hospitality by learning the culture of your guest and anticipating their every need. In that manner, the J201 anticipates every adverse condition thanks to 550 supercharged horsepower.

Along for the ride are the usual Overlanding upgrades like a tuned lift kit, 35″ General Grabber tires, jerry cans, rock sliders, fabricated bumpers and a Warn winch. The upper control arms were custom made for long travel, and the snorkel will keep them dry with no need for a bridge. Hopefully a few of these parts make it to production, so we wish Team Lexus the best of luck. Stay with us for all your Lexus news and a full recap of Rebelle Rally 2020.

Socata ST-10 Diplomate. Specifications. A photo.

Socata ST-10 Diplomate is an easy-motor aircraft developed by French aircraft manufacturers in the mid-60-ies of the last century, and manufactured in the period from 1969 1974 on year.

Photo Socata ST-10 Diplomate

The development of the Socata ST-10 Diplomate aircraft began in 1965, while French aviation engineers tried to create a popular light-engine aircraft that could compete with American-made aircraft, in particular Piper, Beechcraft and Cessna, and the design itself was carried out on the basis of another, earlier models - Socata GY-80 Horizon. His first flight of the aircraft Socata ST-10 Diplomate made in November 1967 years, but he could not initially meet the Socata company's management, which is why more for almost year and a half been crafted, yet ultimately failed to slightly increase the reliability of the aircraft, and to improve its flight performance.

Socata ST-10 Diplomate photo

The first prototype Socata ST-10 Diplomate had a piston engine with a capacity of 145 hp, however, due to the fact that with a full load of the aircraft, the flight speed was minimal, it was subsequently decided to improve the power plant, which is why the basic production version received four-cylinder aircraft engine Lycoming IO-360-C with a capacity of 200 hp, allowing the aircraft to accelerate to 280 km / h. (maximum flight speed) and cover even long distances on the way, taking into account the aircraft class.

On board the Socata ST-10 Diplomate can accommodate up to four people - a pilot and three passengers, thus, the plane itself is quite suitable to overcome with its maximum load of distances up to 1200 km, which is very effective.

cockpit Socata ST-10 Diplomate

A distinctive feature of the aircraft Socata ST-10 Diplomate from the previous version are improved aerodynamic shape, due to which, and managed to reach a top speed of flight and minimize drag.

However, because of the number of admitted shortcomings in the design and development of the aircraft, the aircraft was unable to gain a lot of popularity. The biggest problem is the fact that the aircraft was not suitable for the transportation of goods, and was not quite maneuverable, but in general it is quite satisfied the private owners.

For the entire period of production of Socata ST-10 Diplomat aircraft, which lasted from 1969 to 1974, only 55 aircraft were built, of which 37 aircraft are currently in operation, most of which are located in France and Germany.

Why It’s Important to Keep Awnings Cleaned and Sealed

Awning Maintenance Made Easy

Although awnings have been around in some form or another for hundreds of years, awning cleaning services are a relatively new concept. As retailers, restaurant chains, and other businesses spend more and more money on eye-catching, showy awnings, they have begun to realize the importance of protecting these investments. Regular awning cleaning and sealing not only extends the life of awnings, it keeps awnings looking great. Businesses now understand the message it sends to their customers when their awnings are dirty, mildewed, and full of bugs.

Companies go to great expense to put up awnings for any number of reasons: signage, improving curb appeal, brand image, or perhaps simply protection from sun and rain. Regular awning cleaning is important in protecting that investment and making sure the awnings do what they were put there to do.

Unfortunately, many awning owners stop noticing their awnings after they have been up for a while. Sometimes it takes having to go through the expense of a re-cover before their eyes are opened to the importance of awning maintenance.

Awnings are a major investment for most businesses and they make a major statement about the company. Hiring a professional awning cleaner is just good business to make sure the awnings always look great.

Awnclean has been cleaning awnings of all shapes and sizes for almost 30 years. Give us a call so we can talk about cleaning your awnings, too.

Leave Time for Admin and Research

Hopefully one day, you can add ‘marketing’ to the title listed.

The greatest lesson I have learnt since I relaunched into writing is that Admin and research take a lot of time and both are necessary. I have spent the past few days researching markets and scheduling writing through the diary around life and performing.

It has taken days… I tried an old trick I used to push myself with back in the days of a pile of office work. I worked out that in an hour I had (on average) covered about 5 websites, I basically tried to cover what I needed to find out in less than 20 mins a site, then less than 15, I couldn’t shave any time off this as I was also copying information into files on my computer.

I am only part way through my list and have, as yet, not actually worked on any new writing, which I am champing at the bit to do (eager).

I can now post a review of ‘A Night With Maya Angelou’ with links to Jordan’s review (organiser). I am also dropping in a post about ‘Off the Page’, Jan Watt’s official book launch, attended on Tuesday.

Go read, enjoy! jan benches

My Writing Day Part 1

inkspill just writeMy day of writing is going well – I am using my self disciplined invisible time-table! Today is a National Teacher Strike and my school is closed. I won’t get paid for supply, I havent had to do any – I welcome this day to write and catch up with my life (as a writer!), like I mentioned in a social media status – on one hand I don’t make any money today and on the other hand, well the other hand is the one I write with!

Mr G made sure I was up early – he forgot I wasn’t working today. After the post event adrenalin of last night – I went to Poetry Bites, an evening of fantastic poetry booked and hosted by Jacqui Rowe (Editor Flarestack Publishing) a group of us went to support Sarah James, who was one of the booked poets, I then found out you could book a floor spot and couldn’t resist sharing a couple of poems. It was a fantastic night and of course when I came home I found myself wide awake to begin with, it was about 1a.m when I rolled into bed, so I could have done with a bit of a lie in and my pink eyes tell that story!

I made a coffee, grabbed the 3 issues of my writing magazine that I am still attempting to find time to read and headed back off to bed to do my Admin.

3 hours later, I have emerged (still in PJs) but now online and upright. I had a diary full of writing tasks and now I have an A4 to do list in order and am about to hit the ground running with an edit and final re-write of the poems written especially for tonight’s 3rd Anniversary of Drummonds 42. The theme is Zombies and although I don’t do horror, I have enjoyed attending 42 each month since Halloween and sharing the darker thoughts of my mind which would never be shared in public without events like this. Tonight though – it is special (I feel I should be baking cakes, but I am definitely far too busy writing to do that or clean the kitchen (Mr G)…) in honour of the anniversary I am using the theme and have managed to write 2 post apocalyptic zombie poems… I enjoyed the challenge.

My writing diary, which has been littered with weekly post-it notes has now got extra pages paper-notestaped in and is looking fairly full until the summer. I have 8 writing tasks today – I think that is OVER AMBITIOUS to say in the least especially as I have to make it to the library before closing to collect my Art Network Poetry Display (which came down last week) and then get out to the 42 Gig…

My 1st writing task before editing the Zombie poems is to write a short Bio – for the Born Free Anthology – I struggle with these as I never know what to put and can feel my ego smugly pushing me out the way to get to the keyboard. Elaine needs it a.s.a.p so I promised her it would be my 1st online job of the day.

Better get some work done now then, the sun is shining – I am happy, have my 2nd coffee of the day – had I been working I would still be without a break and over 3 hours in! Bliss. I cannot wait for the flat sale to go through so I can afford at least a few of these writing days a month.

Admin and the Writer

istock morn snowmen This is the first day back at the writing desk after Christmas, today I will mainly be writing offline and attempting to meet submission deadlines. I also have the task of emptying and sorting email accounts. So far I have spent 30 minutes and I am up to date deleting and archiving messages in my writing inbox.

My personal inbox will take longer and the 2nd writing email will take a while too. So I thought I would pass some managing admin tips your way because even as partially organised as I have been I need to do better in 2014!

start time

The first thing to realise is that ADMIN tasks do take time and that you need to invest this time and allow for it within your writing schedule.

I have learnt a lot this year, including how important it is to deal with emails. Emails build up in a blink of an eye especially if you sign up for newsletters and so on.

1) Firstly you need a selection of email accounts to cover different aspects of your life.

2) Keep on top of them – better done as a daily task.

3) Make sure you reply to any urgent ones straight away.

4) Create folders within your email account to file and organise messages that are important to keep.

Some people get so good at this that they save any relevant information onto hard drives or memory sticks and then they delete and empty ALL emails. I have never been that good, there are always some saved emails about something.

But as with real life clutter, think about how often you look at these saved emails? You could probably let them go. Print them or save for reference and wipe the account clear.

Sweeping emails is something I leave to my junk mail filter, but I may try next year! manila-folder

A New Foot Forward

Over the past few days I have come to realise that my part-time income is in need of some supplements. Just as I think it – I find an advert on my social network page for an FREE e-course.

It can’t hurt – so I have some emails to get my teeth into and a way in. My new venture, exploring freelance writing opportunities. I have missed 2 writing competitions this week for short stories as I ran out of time to write them, although I will use the ideas this year at some point when I have time to write.

I am looking to supplement term time income, there is no excuse during school holidays not to be writing. We will see where this takes me.

fs typewr

I have read several articles about people who started to write again last year and each of the interviewees seem to be doing a lot more than me. It is time I put some plans into action.

For more information visit – Maggie Lindy’s site here.

It is mainly a promotion for an e-book. You may find some of it useful or you could buy the book.

Solar Power System

The Solar Power System is a basic independent solar power plant designed to generate hot water and electricity for home or industrial use, satisfying basic needs such as lighting, TV, notebook, fridge, ceiling fan, and water pump in rural areas. The Solar Power System can be coupled with local electricity grid or can be installed 100% off grid using a battery power system.

Photovoltaic Solar Power Off Grid Home System

The Photovoltaic Solar Power System Off Grid is designed for rural areas where public grid utility is missing. Excess power generated during the day is used to recharge the battery set that will supply electricity during the night.

Photovoltaic Solar Power Grid Connected Home System

The Photovoltaic Solar Power System Grid Connected or Grid Tied is always connected to the public grid utility through the inverter that convert the direct current DC, generated by the Photovoltaic Panels, into alternating current AC for use in your facility. Excess power generated during the day will be sold back to the utility for a credit to be used in the night when sunlight is not available. It is the right choice if you have a stable and reliable electricity grid but you want to save the energy bill.

Photovoltaic Grid Tied Solar Power System with Battery Back-up

The Photovoltaic Solar Power System with Battery Back-up is the right choice if your national grid isn’t reliable and the event of outages is not uncommon. During the day your home will use power generated from the solar panels, and the excess power will recharge a small battery set that will become a source of emergency backup power during blackouts. During the night you will use power from the grid and only in the event of grid blackouts, our system will switch to off grid mode drawing power stored in your battery to power your home.

Standard Home Photovoltaic Solar Power System

The standard Photovoltaic Solar System is based on 2.500 W output power and includes:

  • Photovoltaic Solar Panels (8 modules) to generate electricity.
  • Mounting rack to easily install panels on the roof or in the garden.
  • Solar charge controller.
  • Energy storage lead acid battery set.
  • BMS.
  • High performance inverter with low status consumption (Efficiency > 90%, Suitable for heavy load, standby level adjustable, High ambient temperature design).
  • Low voltage, high voltage, overload and over temperature protection set.
  • Inverter output: 110 V / 220 V AC.
  • Frequency: 50 / 60 Hz Automatic tracking main frequency.
  • LED lighting for low energy consumption on request.

Please note, the standard home design is for 2.500 W power according to following terms: the power output is calculated on areas with daily average peak power sunshine of 5 hour, and the battery set capacity is designed for power storage of 10 hours output in saving energy configuration of your home.

How Photovoltaic Solar Panels Works

A Solar Energy Plant is a great way to power your home with clean, renewable energy and cut the electricity bill. The Photovoltaic System consists of a few photovoltaic modules connected in a series, array. Each module consists of 36 or 72 cells that convert the light into electricity. The photovoltaic system is modular, high flexibility in power ouput, easy transportation, quick installation. The photovoltaic cell is the main component of the panel and converts the light to electricity. During the day, the cell absorbs photons (part of the sunlight particles which contain energy), and an electron (negative part of atom) is knocked loose from a silicon atom, and remains a positive hole. The cell is made by putting an artificial junction layer, p/n layer, that keep separated the freed electron and the positive hole, generating electricity when we create an electric circuit between the front and rear of the layer. Now the freed electrons can return to the positively charged holes by flowing through our external circuit. The electrical power extracted from a cell is proportional to the intensity of the sunlight. The efficiency of solar cells when convert sunlight into electricity is 15% of thermal sun power.

Solar Photovoltaic Panels Specifications

High efficiency A class. Diod by-pass glass with cells in EVA (etilene vinil acetato) covered by waterproof film. Connections by plug MC4. Certifications: ISO 9001, CE, TUV IEC 61215 e IEC 61730.

Solar Controller & Inverter

The Inverter is the brain of the solar system and converts DC electricity to AC electricity for your home uses. The inverter is always coupled with a controller that monitors the utility grid and controls the solar system production.

Orientation of Solar Photovoltaic Panels

Here are many considerations to do about the orientation of Solar Panels including site shading, site conditions, different climatic circumstances, installation costs and aesthetics. The rigth orientation will produce the most amount of energy production per year, but many systems can take into consideration for example an existing roof and will be installed in a non pefect orientations, with only a small reduction in total output. The first rule is to never install a solar system that faces in any portion of the 180 degree arc of the compass that faces north, or in the shade of a building or a tree even if the new solar microinverters allow solar panels to operate independently of each other, and if one or two modules end up in the shade of a building, the others will produce electricity.

How to Calculate Home Photovoltaic System

An ordinary appartment uses 2.500 W. During the day 8 solar panels can totally supply energetic consume of an appartment. The battery set will supply the electricity in the night and thanks to the inverter will be transformed from 24V to 110V or 220V for house equipment uses.

During the day:
The 8 solar panels produce 2.500 W. If you use less energy, you can store the excedence in the battery. If you have only conditioner turn on, maybe 1.000 W, solar panels supply air conditioner and you put 1.500 W in the battery. For 10 hours of sun, you can put 15.000 W in the battery.

During the night:
To know how much electricity you consume, add all electrical equipments power (W) and multiply by the hours that are turn on. TV is 200 W for 3 hour per night = 600 W
Radio is 20 W for 2 hour per night = 40 W
Light is 100 W for 4 hour per night = 400 W Conditioner is 1.000 W per 5 hour per night = 5.000 W
Total power for 1 night is 6.040 W The battery must supply minimum 6.040 W during the night, it means teorically 6.040 / 48V = 125 Ah. Because of battery efficiency is 75%, we use a battery size 48V – 150 Ah.

baa ram ewe Christmas Foodbank Appeal

baa ram ewe Christmas Foodbank Appeal

I don’t know about you, but this Christmas it feels that way more people are more conscious of what they are spending, what gifts they are buying- or making- and where they are choosing to buy them. It’s heart-warming to see and infectious too. The benefits to recipients, local businesses and shoppers themselves are obvious and important and I feel strongly that we can all contribute to making this time of year good for as many people as possible, not just those who can afford it.

Food is a huge part of Christmas: both preparing it and sharing it. For the past few years I have spent my Christmas Day serving Christmas Dinners to older people in my neighbourhood who are on their own and who may struggle to get to the shop or can’t afford a turkey with all the trimmings. It has transformed my Christmas experience from being a difficult time on my own to bringing happiness or even just company to others in need. This year I would like to do more.

Throughout December baa ram ewe will be part of Leeds Foodbank’s ‘Reverse Advent Calendar’ appeal. We want to raise £500 to spend on much needed food supplies for those who need it most in our area. For every single retail sale we make in December we will put 10% towards our target, donating the equivalent amount in food to a local foodbank each week.The idea of a parent, worried that they can’t provide Christmas Dinner for their children, or an older person going hungry because of rising fuel costs is something we can all play a part in ending. I hope you feel you can give us your support, however small, to help us reach our £500 target.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas from us all here at baa ram ewe.
