12/10/2023 0 Comments Steward manor high rise laurel![]() Now, even more people will be able to find Lost Laurel. So yesterday was an absolute blast-not only walking through Steward Manor again for an article in the Laurel Leader, but finding the story on their website before the end of the day! Wow-news travels (and gets written) fast! I want to give another big thanks to Kevin and Sarah for making the trip and for sharing the story this way. And it’s an honor and a pleasure to shine a long-overdue light on both. As the article makes clear, I’m still blown away that so many people share the sense of nostalgia I’ve developed for this old apartment complex-as well as the countless stores, restaurants, and other defunct establishments that make up “Lost Laurel”. Oddly, it was probably the first chance I’ve had to really explain the premise behind both projects to anyone-aside from my immediate circle of friends and family. Here, Sarah took another photo-this time with me holding a photo submitted by one of our Steward Manor Days Facebook fans. We spent a good 45 minutes in the old neighborhood, cutting through the building to walk up to the playground behind 106 Sharon Ct. It’s safe to say, though, I never expected to be standing outside those windows some 30 years later, talking about it all with anyone from a newspaper, including the Laurel Leader. As you can see from this old Super 8 home movie still, a happy kid lived on the other side of those windows, in spite of the modest surroundings. This was Steward Manor in the 80s for me my starting point for all those innumerable trips to the mall, to Zayre’s, to Dart Drug-and all the other long-lost places we’re now revisiting. At that table, I did most of my homework between 2nd and 9th grades-frequently referencing the incomplete sets of second-hand encyclopedias on our ancient particleboard bookcase between said windows. ![]() And on the other side of the tall, single window to the right was our dining room. Just behind the largest window was our living room, where a total of eight Christmas trees stood throughout my happy childhood. See those second floor windows directly above me? From 1979–87, that was home to me. Naturally, he suggested we meet at Steward Manor, where Sarah took photos right behind my old building at 100 Bryan Court. Just a few days earlier, Kevin made my day with a request to do a story for the paper about Lost Laurel and Steward Manor Days, and how these projects came to be. On Monday morning, I had the pleasure of meeting writer Kevin Rector and photographer Sarah Pastrana of the Laurel Leader. Basics had run Pantry Pride out of town within its first year of operation, but Giant and Safeway proved to be just too much. There was a distinct, no-frills vibe all throughout the store, unlike the other chains who plastered their brand on anything and everything.īut by early 1984, despite the success of Basics, Grand Union was ready to call it quits. Above each were impressive, hand-lettered signs that had been painstakingly rendered in chalk on black boards. Gone were the old molded plastic shelves with rubber shopping cart protectors here, massive plain cardboard boxes contained oranges, grapefruits, and lettuce. And you saw this the moment you entered the store, passing through the produce aisle. But Basics stripped everything down, literally, to the point that its aesthetic was practically generic. This was something unique in a time when Giant Food was flexing its local muscle against the likes of Safeway, A & P, and Pantry Pride, and each were promoting their own respective brands in a more conventional manner. There was a clear concept behind the Basics brand-simplicity. And all these years later, I feel the same way. But something about Basics just seemed different and markedly ahead of its time. Not that I had any reason to be excited about it, as I was only 7 years old at the time. I can still recall a sense of excitement in the air back in April 1980, at the notion of a brand new grocery chain opening up. ![]() It was the former Grand Union, (which was actually still the parent company of the Basics brand), and for the past 25+ years, it’s been the Village Thrift Store. Whenever I hear the word “basics”, I think of the store that once occupied the east corner space of Laurel Plaza shopping center at Routes 198 and 197. Traditionally, even the slightest hint of snow prompts residents to stock up on three essentials: milk, bread, and toilet paper. With forecasters calling for a bit of winter weather in the DC area tonight, you can rest assured that grocery stores will be packed. 12/10/2023 0 Comments Harmony spa joliet![]() Our services encompass a range of offerings, including massages, body contouring, yoni care, and body care products. ![]() Kimberly is excited to work with all her clients to help them reach their wellness goals.Įxperience a Professional and Tranquil Retreat in our suite, your residence, your office, or hotel, that is dedicated to enhancing your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Plato, born in approximately 428 BC, living until 347 BC, was one of Socrates’ brightest students and went on to become the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the entire Western world. This is the source of my wisdom.” Plato founded the first university Perhaps most surprisingly, the great thinker, who doubtless was one of the most brilliant men to ever live, also gave this gem of humility to the world: “One thing I know, is that I know nothing. “An unexamined life is not worth living.”Īnd another, which surely makes many of us pause: “Worthless people live only to eat and drink people of worth eat and drink only to live.” “False words are not only evil themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.” Some of his most well-known quotes include the following: He was also the first moral philosopher of Western ethical thought, referred to as “virtue ethics.” Socrates is likely the best-known philosopher of ancient times.īorn in 470 BC and living until 399 BC, he is credited for being one of the founders of Western philosophy. The great thinker reduced the universe into a simple sentence, which may perhaps give us the correct perspective on the world when we become overwhelmed with current events today: “Nothing exists except atoms and empty space everything else is just opinion.” Socrates, the best-known philosopher of ancient Greece Known throughout history as the “Laughing Philosopher” (for his humor when contemplating human folly), he was responsible for coining the terms “Abderitan laughter,” which means a scoffing, dismissive type of laughter, and “Abderite,” meaning a scoffer. He often spoke of his belief that the best way for society and individuals to achieve tranquility was by only biting off as much as can be easily handled and not concerning ourselves with things that are not essential. In a much more romantic vein, the great philosopher and student of Plato also had this hauntingly lovely insight, which doubtless remains as true today as ever: “Love is com-posed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” Democritusĭemocritus was a mathematician, physicist, ethicist, and philosopher who lived in the 5th century BC.Ī near contemporary of Socrates, his works also included those on the study of cosmology. “Neither by nature, then, nor contrary to nature do the virtues arise in us rather we are adapted by nature to receive them, and are made perfect by habit,” said Aristotle.Īristotle also said “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” We can create positive and virtuous habits just as easily as negative ones, he believed. However, this does not consign us to lives that are predetermined by rote. We therefore form habits, and this is what makes it hard for humans to change our ways we are creatures of habit. The brilliant Greek philosopher of the 4th century BC is known for his belief that humans are responsible for creating their own virtues and that we develop them as we interact with other humans. The wisdom and quotes of ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle Let’s take a look at some of the best quotes by some of the most famous Greek philosophers, which are sure to make you reflect on life’s many issues, and maybe even change the way you think. The insights these men shared with the world resonate even in our modern times today and will live forever in our consciousness. When searching for an inspirational quote, one need look no further than the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers. ![]() Their quotes and wisdom are still relevant today.Credit: Public domain “The School of Athens,” showing some of the Ancient Greek philosophers, by Raphael. 12/10/2023 0 Comments Trade blocs help countries by quizlet![]() Nevertheless, a challenge will be to combine sustainability standards with more and open trade. This will lead to more sustainable supply chains and diversification away from carbon-intensive sectors. As countries adopt policies to meet their global carbon commitments, their trading partners can develop areas of “carbon competitiveness” through reduced carbon intensity of production and seize new opportunities in green growth. Yet with the right policies, trade can play a central part in efforts to adapt to climate change and mitigate its impact: It can foster the spread of Environmental Goods and Services such as solar panels and recycling to help reduce emissions and improve biodiversity, and it can facilitate the transfer of climate-friendly technologies. The damage wrought by climate change highlights the urgent need for adjustments in trade: The extraction and processing of natural resources account for more than 90 percent of biodiversity loss and water stress and half of greenhouse-gas emissions. Promoting international trade and advancing sustainable economic development are not mutually exclusive and can be mutually reinforcing. Clear international rules for digital commerce will also be needed negotiating them will require coordination and expertise from policymakers and a strong domestic digital sector that can identify challenges and potential solutions. Advanced and developing countries alike will need help to smooth the transition from manufacturing to services with programs to promote skills development, labor mobility, and gender equality. But many developing countries lack the necessary technical, regulatory, financial, and educational infrastructure and are at risk of being left behind. Digital commerce allows firms of all sizes, anywhere in the world, to gain access to new markets. Disruptions to global food and fertilizer markets caused by the war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia jeopardized food security in developing countries.ĭigitalization, and the related shift to services, promises to reshape trade and presents important opportunities for developing countries. Disruptions to global supply chains and rising shipping costs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have also put the economic recovery at risk, adding to calls for reshoring production of vital goods, especially medical products and semiconductors. Powerful protectionist forces have begun to challenge the global community’s commitment to open trade many in advanced economies blame trade for job losses as manufacturing and some services shift to lower-cost destinations. Most global poverty reduction has been concentrated in Asian countries, principally in China, while other regions continue to experience high inequality and poverty. Still, we must recognize that not everyone is experiencing the benefits of globalization. The WB helps its client countries overcome these obstacles and more fully reap the benefits of global markets. Many of the world’s poorest people live in places that are landlocked, remote, or otherwise ill-served by international trade links. Even a country with liberal and transparent trade policy suffers if its markets are not connected. In developing countries, access to global markets is often hindered by anti-competitive business practices, regulation that is unfavorable to business growth and investment, and inadequate ports, roads and other infrastructure. Fostering cooperation through trade and business is also pivotal in helping countries escape conflict. ![]() Exporters in developing countries employ more women than non-exporters, and women comprise up to 90 percent of the workforce in export-processing zones. Trade is also linked to higher female participation in the formal labor market, where wages are higher. Economic growth underpinned by better trade practices has lifted more than 1 billion people out of poverty since 1990. Since 1990, trade has increased incomes by 24 percent globally and by 50 percent for the poorest 40 percent of the population. Recent research shows that trade liberalization increases economic growth by an average of 1.0 to 1.5 percentage points, resulting in 10 to 20 percent higher income after a decade. Trade is an engine of growth that creates better jobs, reduces poverty, and increases economic opportunity. The World Bank (WB) helps developing countries improve their access to world markets and enhance their participation in the global trading system.

She then interrupted the kitchen staff and asked them to make the order (which had obviously been lost as once we got our receipt back, it was caked with cheese and grease).

She also wears dark gray, heeled boots, with a light gray top. In her debut appearance she had a star pin on her cowl, which showed that she was the Top Student. The rest of her attire includes wearing triangle-shaped black earrings and black nail polish. As part of the abomination track, her sleeves and leggings are a magenta color. When attending school, Amity wears a gray tunic with a dark gray belt, cowl, and boots. She also seems to have inherited Odalia's curvier figure. In the epilogue of " Watching and Dreaming", Amity's hair is worn up in a ponytail, with her bangs being the faded lavender color they were in the Human Realm and her ponytail being lavender, which exposes her brown undercut, and she has a tattoo of Flapjack on her left arm to match with the rest of her friends. After months of being stranded in the Human Realm, her hair has grown out to be shoulder-length, making the lavender color fade into a much lighter purple with her brown roots visible at the top of her head. Near the end of " Through the Looking Glass Ruins", Amity decides to shorten her hair and dye it lavender, with brown hair visible on the undercut at her temples. Her hair is also a two-toned, dyed aquamarine-green with brown hair, her natural hair color, visible at the roots. Her hair is chin-length, with a ponytail pulling the front hair out of her face, and a mostly covered undercut visible at the temples. 3.3 Falling for Luz and reconciling with WillowĪmity is a thin, pale-skinned witch, with bright golden eyes and pointed ears. ![]() Steady Check Engine Light: If your check engine light is on every time you operate your Protege, you need to have it checked as soon as possible, especially if you notice performance problems or unusual noises. For example, does it happen when you accelerating, driving on the highway or does it appear at low speeds? This will help your mechanic evaluate the issue. Is it OK to drive with a check engine light on? Intermittent Check Engine Light: If the check engine light on your 2002 Protege is not steady, try to take note of the conditions when this happens. The video above shows how to locate the on board diagnostics OBD plug location on your 2002 Protege, how to read the trouble codes and how to reset or clear the check engine light using a scanner on your Protege. Whereas a steady check engine light may mean you merely need to tighten you gas cap next time you stop in order to reset the service engine soon light. If you have a flashing check engine light, turn off the engine immediately to prevent potential motor damage. So I have decided to currently drive this summer with winter tires, which are in pretty good shape.A check engine light can indicate a broad spectrum of problems with your 2002 Mazda Protege. 2 of the all season radials are totally worn out. Any one know of any company that does plastic moldings for the quarter panels to cover up the rust. I wish I had taken care of the rust problem within a couple of years after I purchased the P5. I just want to get 1-2 more years out of the P5. I have not changed the primary catalytic converter and the car seems to be running fine. On Sat I drove on 401 from Bayview Ave to Warden Ave and then went straight for Ont. After cleaning MAF and connecting the battery I did a test drive and CEL remained off. The following Fri I disconnected battery and cleaned MAF. CEL stayed off for about a day and then it came on again. ![]() Then I drove to Hamilton and Check Engine light turned off on my way back from Hamilton to Markham. Following OBDII codes were read: P0102:MAF Low Input, P0421: warm up Catalyst Efficiency below threshold (Bank 1), P1250 ressure Regulator Control Solenoid Circuit. I can use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with it and the camera and apps without activating it.Ĥ weeks ago on a Fr evening I went to Parts Source for OBDII reading. I don't even have to activate the phone if I don't want. I'm intending on getting a Samsung prepaid Android phone for $100 along with the Elm reader and Torque App. The Elm bluetooth reader is about $25- $30 and the App is less than $5. But I ordered an Ultra-Gauge for $108 (all in shipped to Canada) and it not only reads and rubs codes but shows 46 different gauges for my car and mounts to the dash and looks pretty clean (it doesn't show closed loop though so Scangauge may be better).Īnother option that I didn't look into enough before my purchase, is a bluetooth OBD II wireless reader that broadcasts to your Android phone and with the help the Torque App shows way more gauges, stores and logs data and is completely customizable with different "skins" and colors to choose from. I may hang it up again this summer.Ī code reader is a great idea and you have a few options. ![]() I just removed the rubber mounts and rusted off pieces but now I have no support in the middle of the exhaust. rusted through and it was bouncing around.
