In a recent survey the Institute conducted, we asked our audience where they usually find themselves reading the Bible. While 92% of them said they read the Bible alone or during their quiet time, only 31% said they read the Bible during their small group or Bible study. Clearly, reading the Bible alone – maybe accompanied by a cup of hot coffee and a pen – is the way most people choose to engage with God’s Word today. There’s nothing wrong with this on its own, but there’s a whole new world of understanding and engagement waiting for us if we regularly experience the Bible in community. For most of Christian history, the personal Bible did not exist. Reading the Bible was a group activity because most churches only had one Bible. Only with the invention of the printing press in the 15th century did we see the Bible make its way into the hands of individuals on a mass scale. Since then, Bible reading has evolved into a solo sport. And while it’s certainly nice to have Bibles around our house that we can call our own, we’ve unfortunately lost the ancient practice of reading and wrestling over the text together. If you’d like to try reading the Bible with your community of believers, here are a few tips to get you started: 1. Don’t make it all about finding the right answers Most group Bible study guides today take a question-and-answer approach to the Bible. How does Paul identify himself to the Corinthians? Why might he do it this way? What does the word “sanctified” mean? All you have to do is open up your Bible and find the answer to the question. This diminishes the Bible into a sourcebook for answering the right questions to grow your faith. Unfortunately in many group settings this can also lead to the person who is most knowledgeable about the Bible – perhaps they know Hebrew or Greek – taking over and providing all of the “answers” to the study guide’s questions. Other people in the group don’t get a chance to participate in talking about the Bible because they don’t know as much and therefore don’t think they bring value to the group. This situation can be especially intimidating for new believers. Instead, open the discussion up for opinions and questions about the reading. A question like, “So, is there anything that stood out to you?” opens the text up for discussion at all levels. 2. Read big portions of Scripture Try modeling your Bible discussions after book clubs. When book clubs meet, they usually don’t only discuss one paragraph or one sentence of the book. While they may dwell on a short passage for a while, they’ve often read large chunks of the book and can talk about how the story is progressing or what shifts they’ve seen in the characters. They can pick out turning points in the story and discuss what they think might happen as a result. When your community reads the Bible together, read and discuss big portions. Read an entire letter from Paul or an entire story from the First Testament. Don’t be bound by chapters and verses – look at the content itself and determine a good stopping place. 3. Avoid “application” as the universal end-game Many of us have been conditioned to automatically ask, “Okay, now what does this mean for me?” as we read. If a story or passage doesn’t have direct application to our lives today in the 21st century, it can be difficult to know what to do with it. Large portions of the Bible end up ignored because it’s hard to find something we can draw from it that we can start practicing immediately. When talking with your community about a passage in the Bible, if you’ve found something you feel speaks to you that you can apply to your life, by all means share it with the group. But if it’s not there, you don’t need to reach for it. 4. Talk about things that bothered you There are a lot of things in the Bible that are hard to digest. When we read alone we don’t have anyone to process these unsettling passages with, and when we’re in a group setting we sometimes focus discussion on the easier, more manageable parts of Scripture. We have a hard time talking about parts of the Bible that bother us, so we usually try to just push it out of our minds. Talking through these uncomfortable passages with your community can be extremely helpful and valuable. It will help your group grow closer, and somebody within the group may have some insights to the difficult passage that can help make it more understandable. Even if your group can’t come to a satisfying explanation of a hard passage, wrestling over the text together will bring you all closer to God. 5. Be open to disagreement Part of the beauty of group discussion is the opportunity to wrestle together over a passage and work together to sort out its meaning. It’s almost inevitable, though, that at some point there will be disagreement about the interpretation of a passage. When this happens, we have the opportunity to learn to see different angles on a Bible passage by listening well to other members of our group. And while we may end up holding different opinions, it’s important for these differences not to become deal-breakers for our relationships. If your community has been in the traditional “Bible Study” mode for a while, I encourage you to try this “Book Club” approach. Read big chunks of Scripture together, then just open it up for group discussion. I think the results will surprise you.

In an effort to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order temporarily suspending all in-person operations that are “not necessary to sustain or protect life.” It also directs Michiganders to stay in their homes unless part of a critical workforce, engaged in an outdoor activity, or performing a task necessary to the health and welfare of themselves or their family. The “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order goes into effect March 24 at 12:01 a.m. and was set to expire just before midnight on April 13. But the governor announced April 9 that it would be extended through the end of the month. “This doesn’t mean everything will go back to normal on May 1,” Whitmer said in a release. “But based on the data we have right now, this is the appropriate window for an extension. It will take time to safely and responsibly re-open the economy, which is why we will continue to provide critical unemployment support and assistance to our small businesses during this challenging time. We will get through this if we all continue to do our part.” This executive order has been the most forceful directive signed by Whitmer to stall the outbreak of COVID-19, which is rapidly infecting more people in the state. Previous orders have closed bars and restaurants to dine-in service, shut down casinos and fitness centers, and halted other kinds of retail. Michigan is one of the hardest hit states in the country. As of April 9, there had been over 20,000 confirmed cases in the state—third highest in the nation. Here’s more information on what the executive order means. Who is allowed to continue working outside the home? The order allows those essential to sustaining life or part of a “critical infrastructure” field to continue working. The definition is fairly broad and applies to those in healthcare, law enforcement, government, food and agriculture (including grocery store workers and restaurants for takeout), energy, transportation, or those that work at distribution centers, suppliers, shelters, childcare facilities, and a few other industries. People can also work to maintain the “minimum basic operations” of a business, such as securing a building, maintaining inventory, or caring for animals. But it only applies if working in-person is necessary to the functioning of the operation—all others should work remotely. Businesses must also adopt social distancing practices, limit the number of workers to no more than is strictly necessary, and increase cleaning standards. All other in-person activities need to be suspended for the duration of the order. What about volunteering? Yes, you’re still allowed to volunteer for operations that provide “food, shelter, and other necessities of life” for needy individuals. Here are a few options if you’re interested in helping. Can I still go outside? Yes, though with substantial limitations. People can leave to engage in recreational activity (walking, hiking, running, etc.), but must maintain at least six feet of separation between those not in their household. You can also leave your house to perform necessary activities like picking up medication, buying groceries, or going to the hospital. Visits to care for or see family members outside the home are allowed as well. Though the order encourages people to have supplies and services delivered whenever possible. Are there any changes in this extension? Yes, there have been some additional regulations and clarifications. For example, you can’t use a boat with a motor—kayaking or canoeing, however, are allowed. The order also bans travel between two residences, yours or someone else’s. Additionally, big box or grocery stores can only have four customers per 1,000 square feet inside at the same time. If people are lined up outside waiting to shop, they must stand six feet apart. What happens if I don’t comply? The order says that “a willful violation” will result in a civil infraction or misdemeanor, which means a fine of up to $1,000 and potential jail time. But the police cannot stop you and ask why you’re out of the house. This is a developing story—more information will be added as it becomes available.

Quality combi ovens since 1977 Sous vide cooking in a combi oven Sous vide is a preferred technique for many restaurant chefs, and now you can actually sous vide in your combi oven. At Dieta Oy in Finland, Corporate Executive Chef Vesa Saaristo often experiments with sous vide in combi oven cooking: “Using one piece of equipment for multiple cooking methods naturally saves on both investments and valuable kitchen space. The combi oven is already a central piece of equipment, an investment that you could and should make the most of.” Sous vide is a preferred technique for many restaurant chefs due to its creative potential and precise temperature control. But sous vide cooking no longer requires stand-alone equipment. You can actually sous vide in your combi oven. Increased efficiency and reduced costs Sous vide cooking is a great opportunity to utilise the combi oven as the extra resource in the kitchen while staff are off schedule. The off-peak hours’ cheaper energy rates are attractive, and the combi oven needs very low energy to run overnight operation at low temperatures. Add to the equation the innovative dual steam technology of the Invoq Hybrid oven mixing injection steam and boiler steam as needed, and you get a consistent and precise high-density steam environment keeping all moisture inside the oven, – and now the oven fan module is nearly the only part using energy. Even the steam production is using 70% less energy compared to the predecessor oven model, so you will find great profits in slow cooking at night. Overnight, the combi oven can prepare larges batches sous vide style food such as meats of less expensive cuts for optimum tenderisation including nice liquids for sauces or base for tomorrow’s soup, picking or creamy root vegetable mash or purée for side dishes, custard and cremes for dessert menu and or fruit syrups for garnish.– Vesa Saaristo explains. All in easy-to-use portion bags minimising food waste and ensuring freshness for a simple, less stressful mise en place and a speedy a la carte service, Nutritional advantages & enhanced flavours Whether using sous vide cooking for the full process, as for example pulled meat recipes, or as a partial combination process to be finalised using a different cooking method such as oven roasting for a crispy texture to the surface, you achieve a consistent, tender result through the highly accurate temperature control and your food retains its natural moisture and nutrients resulting in a flavourful dish. – Vesa Saaristo concludes. Discovering the many benefits of sous vide cooking in a combi oven, to me it is a no-brainer to prep the combi oven for overnight operation, allowing us chefs to have more time during the day for creativity and recipe development,

Swimming pools complete and enhance a great landscape design Within a landscape design plan, the biggest, and often the most impressive, hardscape is a luxury swimming pool. Equal parts lifestyle, enjoyment and elegance, a luxury swimming pool is the choice of a homeowner whose goal is to maximize leisure time and to create a backyard retreat or family center. Luxury swimming pools are technically and artistically sophisticated, conceptually exciting and one of a kind—thus helping to further distinguish the overall property from all others. Why Have a Luxury Swimming Pool? A luxury swimming pool is a necessity for any upscale home. It finishes off the design of the house because it is a natural extension of your indoor living space. When it comes time to sell your home, it is an expected amenity. Additionally, luxury swimming pools and high end landscaping are great for entertaining, formal or informal, adults or children. They provide healthful exercise; swimming has long been recognized as one of the kinder activities on joints and ligaments. In the Houston landscape, they provide a natural place to cool off during our long summer season. In other words—good for your home, good for you and good for fun. You May Ask Yourself Following are some of the issues involved in designing a luxury swimming pool—in consideration of both present and future value: - How do you and your family plan to use the pool? For instance, daily use or mainly for entertaining? Are you planning to swim laps or will it be a play pool for children? Remember when answering these questions that it is OK to have a pool just for the visual pleasure. - What is the pool’s connection to the rest of space? You will want to work with a landscape architect or landscape designer to ensure that all areas, such as a outdoor kitchen or outdoor water fountain, integrate seamlessly with the pool. You want it to respond to the existing context. - What add-ons do you want? These options include a spa, sun shelf (a specially built feature for sunning), and underwater benches. Other elements: waterfalls, negative edges, slides, diving boards. - Overall depth. This factor is primarily determined by how you plan to use the pool. - Do you want it heated? - Salt systems. There are pros and cons to this popular choice. Jeff Halper with Exterior Worlds says, “The main thing to remember is that you need to be aware of your surrounding material choices if you use a salt system. Salt has a corrosive effect and soft decking material can deteriorate due to it.” - Landscape lighting options. Luxury swimming pools innately welcome dramatic outdoor lighting. - Maintenance. Swimming pools need regular maintenance. Your landscape architect or landscape designer will be able to refer you to a quality pool service company. - Most importantly: safety. All choices about a pool should factor in safety. One way to do it so is through the use of fences. Halper points out that they can be used in a non-intrusive way. “We like to hide fences and gates by weaving them among shrubbery. This method makes the pool area safe, up to code and aesthetically pleasing,” he says. Finish It Off Designed by an architect who manages the construction and oversees all the details and nuances, luxury swimming pools come in all sizes—a cocktail pool, a lagoon pool or a water work of art. You can use varied geometries, materials and plantings to create the most sophisticated environment for your luxury swimming pool. Quality swimming pool finishes include: Two For One Luxury swimming pools are an excellent place to work in an outdoor water fountain. For one thing, the maintenance of an additional body of water is completely eliminated by having both elements connected. Some of the necessary equipment to have a stand-alone fountain, such as the chlorinator, auto-fills for water, lights and filters, are redundant and therefore not needed. Finally, in general, swimming pools tend to be a reasonably large body of water which is an asset to outdoor water fountains because it mitigates the problem that stand-alone water fountains tend to have with water loss due to evaporation and splashing. Let the pros at Exterior Worlds guide you through the process of adding a luxury swimming pool to your landscape; call 713-827-2255.

Finland may usher in its first leftist prime minister in two decades in parliamentary elections on Sunday, as voters worry over the future of the country’s generous welfare system as the costs of caring for a rapidly ageing population rise. But if opinions polls are correct, the left-leaning Social Democrats’ ability to govern may be hampered, however, by a surge in support for the Finns Party, a nationalist group riding a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment sweeping the Nordics. A survey commissioned by public broadcaster Yle showed the Social Democrats could win the top spot with 19 percent of the vote, giving their leader, Antti Rinne, the first shot at forming a government. The Finns are running close second with 16.3 percent support, after scoring rapid gains since the start of this year when a series of cases of sexual abuse of minors by foreign men emerged. With the European Parliament election less than two months away, the Finnish ballot is being watched in Brussels. A strong result for the Finns Party could bolster a nationalist bloc threatening to shake up EU policy-making. Underscoring the growing confidence among far-right politicians in Europe, anti-immigration parties have announced plans to join forces following the May 26 EU election, in a move that could give them major say in how the continent is run. Just as the Social Democrats are benefiting from a growing sense of insecurity among Finland‘s older and poorer voters, the Finns argue that the nation has gone too far in addressing issues such as climate change and migration at its own expense. “We are going through a cultural shock in Finland. Part of the population is in a kind of state of shock amid all the change going on, and as a result they take the Finns Party’s hand,” said Karina Jutila, chief researcher at think tank e2. Polling stations open at 9 a.m. (0600 GMT) on Sunday and close at 8 p.m. Public broadcaster Yle will give its first estimate of the results, based on advance votes which account for 36.1 percent of the electorate this year, shortly after voting ends. The success of Finland‘s Social Democrats would mark a departure not only for Finland but also elsewhere in the region, where leftist parties have struggled in recent years, yielding some of their hold on the working class vote as anti-immigration nationalists of various stripes emerge. In neighbouring Sweden, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has precariously clung to power after his Social Democrats suffered their worst parliamentary election result in more than a century last autumn. To do so, he had to enlist the support of two liberal parties with a pledge to enact a string of far-reaching right-wing policies. In Denmark, which holds an election in June, the Social Democrats are gaining ground, in part after espousing the populists’ anti-immigrant rethoric. Rinne calls his party’s immigration stance “the middle way”, favouring work-related immigration to compensate for Finland‘s ageing population, but he also favours allowing some refugees in on humanitarian grounds, as the country has done thus far. The 56-year-old former union leader is also promising to raise taxes to fund welfare and combat economic inequality, which he says has risen under the ruling centre-right coalition of prime minister Juha Sipila. His talk of raising taxes is unlikely to drive off his supporters, many of whom value highly Finland‘s huge welfare state. But he will likely struggle to form a functioning coalition, if the Finns score high and with Finance Minister Petteri Orpo’s National Coalition, likely to win third place on Sunday, calling Rinne’s economic policies “irresponsible”. Rinne has ruled out forming a government with the nationalists led by Jussi Halla-aho, 47, an anti-immigration hardliner. Altogether 19 parties are running in the election, with eight of them holding seats in the parliament now, ranging from the environmentalist Green party polled at 12.2 percent to the tiny Feminist Party founded just two years ago.

Value-as-experience is an insight from Austrian economics. Value is not inherent in objects or even in services. Value is not derived from functional use, but is the good feeling the consumer experiences during consumption. Consistent with the Austrian understanding of the market as a process, value is a process. It plays out in time in the consumer’s mind. Consumers learn what is valuable to them in the process of choosing and consuming and evaluating. These insights add some under-appreciated marketing considerations to a firm’s capabilities, such as an appreciation of situational traits and of the importance of context. Irene Ng provides the E4B podcast audience with a set of contemporary tools to design new experiences and even create new markets in the era of the “Internet of Things” (IoT). Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights. To design experiences, start by thinking in terms of ecosystems. Ecosystem thinking pays attention to how knowledge, people, technology, processes and the environment are connected and work together. Systems awareness is becoming wider and wider, observing the interaction and value creation among multiple service systems. Consumers’ value experience occurs within a service system, and thus the service ecosystem worldview is increasingly important for entrepreneurs in an ever more connected, digital and data-driven world. The subjectivist viewpoint is fundamental to designing consumer experiences. We are taught from the youngest age to have an object view of the world. We describe situations using nouns: for example, in a room, there is a chair and a piano. Meaning and purpose are identified via the nouns we use. Economics shares some of this noun-based view of the world: assets, knowledge, material things, property. For the design of consumer experiences, verbs are more relevant, not just as descriptions but as connections between objects and people and behavior and thinking. If I play the piano or drink tea, I am connecting objects and people in action. The world becomes a matrix of verbs and interactions. What individuals do impacts on objects and on other individuals. Design becomes a matter of what a system of objects and people and connections and actions and flows can do. IoT brings new capacities and new affordances to service ecosystems. Irene listed 4 new capacities of IoT that contribute to new ways to design experiences: - Liquefy information: A physical object’s information can be sent across space and time. When several information flows are combined for greater information density (e.g., from multiple objects in a kitchen used during cooking) we have more knowledge on which to base an experience design. - Turn objects digital: Software and sensors embedded in an object give that object new capability. For example, a running jacket can communicate location and speed, measure temperature and heart rate, and provide programmability. - Assemble individual objects into a service system: Objects and devices connected and working together exhibit abilities that they don’t have individually. A door lock plus a camera plus a tablet plus the internet can perform as a remotely monitored security system. - Enable transactions between separate task spaces: A task network (such as cooking in a kitchen) can be linked to another task network (e.g., grocery shopping) and a transaction between the two enabled (deliver fill-up ingredients when inventory runs low). Now a designer can think about a new set of affordances: properties of a system that show users what actions they can take. Ideally, the consumer will perceive the new affordances without the need for complex instruction. Marketing changes its focus from consumers’ personal traits and segmentation to situations and contexts. The design of an experience shifts from the use of objects to connected things with information flows in a system. A customer’s perception of the experience within the system may be affected less by their personal traits (as is often assumed in segmentations such as “early adopters” or “social approbation seekers”) and more by situational traits and context. For example, the situation of “taking my morning coffee” affects an individual’s perception of how well a coffee mug meets their needs (how well does it fit under the spout of the coffee maker), along with a chair to sit in or a news service (paper or digital?) to read. How well do all these artifacts and services work together in this situation? Similarly, context affects system perception. An individual might like a certain style of streaming music at home, consumed through a sound system while eating dinner, and an entirely different style for working out in the gym, consumed through a portable digital device and earpods. The design of experiences considers situation and context, and can potentially accommodate a very broad range of people through personalization rather than cater to a narrow market segment. The human being remains the best sensor in the system, and all design must support and enhance this role. There may be a temptation for digital designers and technicians to become immersed in the capabilities of an IoT system and forget that it is the human who judges the value of the system through the experience it enables and supports. The human is not outside the system, but is the master sensor, providing both inputs, outputs and judgment. IoT systems provide support, using data to enhance the human experience. Empathy is still the designer’s number one tool to identify the market drivers — the dissatisfactions to be addressed — that underpin favorable human perceptions of the value of IoT systems. “Designing New Consumer Experiences in the Era of IoT” (PDF): Download PDF “The Internet of Things: Review and Research Directions” by Irene Ng and Susan Wakenshaw” (PDF): Download PDF “Service Ecosystems: A Timely Worldview” by Irene Ng (PDF): Download PDF “Mimicking Firms: Future of Work and Theory of the Firm in a Digital Age” by Irene Ng (PDF): Download PDF Value & Worth: Creating New Markets in the Digital Economy by Irene Ng: But It on Amazon

REGINA — Saskatchewan says it has not been contacted by Ottawa about security concerns with a key trade partner since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made allegations that India’s government played a role in the killing of a Canadian citizen. Trudeau revealed in the House of Commons on Monday that Canadian intelligence services are investigating credible information about a potential link between India's government and the death of British Columbia Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Saskatchewan Trade Minister Jeremy Harrison says the claims against the Indian government are very serious and, if proven, must be taken seriously. But Harrison says provinces and territories should have been notified if that was the reason trade negotiations with India were suspended. Harrison criticized Trudeau’s handling of the G20 summit in India earlier this month, where Canada paused negotiations for a new trade deal following frosty relations with counterparts in New Delhi. In a letter to Ottawa released last week, Harrison accused the federal government of picking a fight with an important trade market for domestic political gain. He added that Saskatchewan deserves regular updates on negotiations. Saskatchewan makes up roughly a third of Canada’s exports to India, which are worth over $1 billion to the provincial economy. Saskatchewan also has a trade and investment office in New Delhi. “Does Trudeau even understand the damage he is doing to our trade relationship with India — one of our most important trading partners?” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe posted on social media last week. Harrison said Tuesday that the federal government repeatedly said the pause was to make sure Canadians get the best deal in the trade agreement. “If (the investigation)was the reason trade negotiations were suspended, the federal government should have made that information available to provinces and territories and had numerous opportunities to do so,” Harrison said. Trudeau said Tuesday that he waited until he was able to raise the issue with allies and with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit before telling the public about the possible link. "We wanted to make sure we were taking the time to talk with our allies, to share what we knew. We wanted to make sure that we fully shared with the government of India, the seriousness and the depths of our preoccupations and indeed conclusions,” Trudeau said. The United States, United Kingdom and Australia have all issued statements calling for the allegations to be investigated. India's Ministry of External Affairs said Tuesday that it rejects the accusations, arguing they are meant to distract from Sikh separatists in Canada who New Delhi argues pose a security risk. Nijjar was shot outside his gurdwara in Surrey, B.C., on June 18. In the wake of his death, members of the Sikh community accused the Indian government of being involved in the killing and attempting to silence voices advocating for an independent Sikh country. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also criticized Trudeau on Tuesday for not sharing more details with him than what was said in the House of Commons. Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan said he hopes Canada can maintain normal relations with India. Harrison said Saskatchewan, as well as other provinces and territories, should be kept informed about the situation and how it could affect trade relationships. “I am hopeful that the federal government will have had rock-solid facts and evidence to back allegations of such a serious and far-reaching nature,” he said. “If they have such information, they have not shared it with the government of Saskatchewan.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 19, 2023. — By Kelly Geraldine Malone in Saskatoon The Canadian Press

In response to an interim report by the Independent Review of Overseas Health Practitioner Regulatory Settings, the Australian Medical Association (AMA) has called for enhanced planning and support measures to ensure a well-equipped medical workforce that meets community needs. The AMA also emphasised the importance of assisting international medical graduates in adapting to the Australian health system. The AMA expressed general support for initiatives aimed at streamlining migration and registration processes for overseas health professionals seeking employment in Australia. However, AMA President Steve Robson stressed the need for more effective planning rather than relying solely on short-term solutions such as increasing the intake of overseas health professionals. “The sheer lack of staff in a wide range of health professions is causing patients to wait longer for care, so we should be looking at how we speed up the unnecessarily complex visa system for international medical graduates and other health care professionals,” Professor Robson said. “But there needs to be a comprehensive solution, backed by policies that legitimately encourage international medical graduates to work in the locations and areas of practice where they are most needed.” To achieve these goals, the AMA’s submission recommended the reinstatement of an independent health workforce planning agency. Such an agency would be responsible for developing credible research-backed initiatives related to training, recruitment, and retention of healthcare professionals. The AMA expressed opposition to the interim report’s recommendation of transferring the assessment process for international graduates in specialist fields to the Australian Medical Council. Robson argued that this change would undermine the crucial role of medical colleges in setting standards for medical practice, emphasising the need to maintain high-quality standards for all healthcare professionals. “Australian trained doctors are among the best in the world, and it is important international medical graduates working here are of the same standard.” The AMA’s submission also emphasised the importance of providing adequate support to international medical graduates, who often work in rural and remote Australia and struggle to navigate the country’s health system. “International medical graduates tell us they don’t receive appropriate support to help them adjust to working and living in Australia. Sadly, they report high levels of racism, discrimination and prejudice, which is totally unacceptable and needs to be addressed immediately,” Robson said.

10 Items That Can Make Your Classroom More Inclusive Inclusive education is largely based on an attitude towards educating students with special needs. Essentially, it does not differentiate between students who are typically developing and students who are not. It is about educating all students, alongside same-age peers and peers with varying abilities, in a general education classroom. Inclusive education is reliant on student access to curriculum. Schools must create opportunities using activities, space and materials so that all students can learn. If you are working in an inclusive classroom or are on the journey to becoming one, here are 10 items that can make your classroom more inclusive: 1. A Large Table There is no piece of furniture more important in an inclusive classroom than a table large enough for small groups of students. Having a table allows the teacher to bring students together and provide them with various types of instructional programming that meet the needs of the group. In addition, students can meet at the table to work together on projects, have discussions or use as an alternate work space. The table is usually placed in a prominent area of the room, and facilitates many opportunities for students to be members of a group. Technology is vital to the 21st century classroom. Not only does it allow students to keep up with our changing world, it provides accessibility to the curriculum for learners with special needs. Whether it be a computer, iPad, audio/visual equipment or assistive devices, technology can play various roles in the inclusive classroom. It can offer educational software, provide an accessible curriculum to children with special needs and help differentiate lessons. Highly engaging, technology appeals to most groups of students and supports inclusion in numerous ways. Inclusive classrooms provide curriculum for different types of learners. For some learners, they prefer a “hands-on” approach to help them understand lessons. Manipulatives can support this process by allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge, develop new levels of understanding and explore deeper concepts. Manipulatives can be easily grouped, placed into plastic containers and put on shelves around the room. Useful for all ages, manipulatives are an easy way to make a classroom more inclusive. 4. Visual Aides Visual aides are, undoubtedly, very important items in the inclusive classroom. They attract student interest, explain an idea or help a student understand a lesson. Visual aides come in many forms and there should be a variety available in a classroom to facilitate inclusion. Some examples include: schedules, posters, number lines, charts, diagrams, graphic organizers and different types of paper such as lined, plain or graph. A visual aide can also be a SMART Board, television or iPad. Inclusive classrooms always have numerous types of visual aides handy to help deliver, accommodate or modify a lesson. 5. Positive Behavior Management System A positive behavior management system can support and maintain a safe, optimal learning environment. It allows the teacher to highlight and reinforce the strengths of individual learners. In addition, it provides students with cues to good behavior. Supporting student behavior, maintaining a calm learning environment and providing predictable routines assist in giving all learners optimal learning conditions. For a detailed description of a positive behavior management system used in inclusive classrooms, you can refer to My Secret Strategy to Successful Classroom Management. 6. High-Interest Leveled Books Inclusive classrooms recognize that students learn in different ways in different rates. Not only do teachers want to provide lessons that address the varying abilities, but also provide classroom materials that all students can use. As well as textbooks, an inclusive classroom should also provide books that can be read for enjoyment. Offering books (or audio books) that are age-appropriate, interesting and can be read by readers at different levels are an important way of making a classroom more inclusive. 7. Job Chart A Job Chart serves several purposes in a classroom. First, it helps keep the classroom running smoothly. Second, it enlists the help of the students and makes the workload lighter. Finally, and most importantly, it allows all students to contribute to the successful operation of the classroom. Class jobs are usually rotated weekly, with students participating in the best way they can for the betterment of the group. Often overlooked, yet very effective, a class job chart can include every student in the classroom in numerous ways. Teachers need to have a method of choosing students for classroom-based activities in a fair manner. There are many strategies for this, but one simple and easy way that ensures all children in the classroom have an opportunity to be included is called Popsicle Sticks. This method involves putting each child’s name on a popsicle stick (found at craft stores) and placing all the sticks in a jar. Whenever the teacher requires students to make teams, complete a task, or answer a question, a popsicle stick is randomly chosen from the jar. This strategy ensures that every child in the classroom has a chance of being asked to complete the task and done so in an unbiased manner. 9. Student Information Binder Because an inclusive class welcomes learners of all abilities, it is extremely important that teachers track the strengths and needs of each student. Important data such as assessments, observations, IEPs and notes can be kept together in one place. The teacher can use this information to ensure that all students are included and participating in the classroom program. A teacher can easily combine information into a Student Information Binder which will support the implementation of an inclusive curriculum. Games such as card games, board games and classroom games are often used by teachers to reinforce a new concept. However, they also play a large role in teaching students social skills and team work. Because game choices are endless, they provide many different ways in which a student can participate. Most importantly, games can allow students to relax in the learning environment, enjoy one another’s company and form relationships.

A Creepy Communist Chinese Experience In A Canadian Airport “ It was unnerving coming back to my country to be made to file one after another with Chinese guards keeping us in line and directing us. After seeming to walk a mile we ended up at 3 booths each with 2 Chinese guards…. ” via Paul Fromm, CAFE Virginia Pollock Arrives At Vancouver Airport, April 3 Approx 6:24 PM I got home to Canada yesterday. I must tell you about the fresh hell I walked into after arriving in the Vancouver British Columbia Airport. Our airplane flew into Vancouver from Seattle and we were immediately made to walk in a single file. There were no more than 30 of us. The airport was totally empty like a huge tomb. There were absolutely no people in offices or stores. There was a chilling effect to this great emptiness and quiet. As we were walking in single file on either side along this chosen path were guards about every 20 feet keeping us contained on path. The guards were Chinese in Airport Security uniforms. I wanted to take a picture but I was sternly warned not to take any pictures. I asked if I may use the woman’s facilities and having to go off path I was escorted by a Chinese woman in the uniform of the Airport Security. I have Chinese friends but this felt very different. It was unnerving coming back to my country to be made to file one after another with Chinese guards keeping us in line and directing us. After seeming to walk a mile we ended up at 3 booths each with 2 Chinese guards. The top was surrounded by glass with a small cut to pass papers through. I had an emergency medical appointment due to an accident that effected my disability. I was in great pain and the Doctor was willing to see me for special circumstances. I had to come home immediately. I was finally told by a guard to approach the booth and show my Covid Test (negative of course or I would not be allowed on the flight) . Then I saw behind the both a long row of Canadian Policemen. A wall of Police. The very young Chinese fellow at the booth said that he didn’t care about my circumstances or disability but I could go along to the next two booths that had 2 white healthcare nurses in each booth. I then spoke to a young lady whom I thought would allow me to get to my specialist. I was in a physically bad way was told to take a chair just in front of another group of Police. It was so intimidating to be there. It was the great number of guards and doubled by the police presence. It was actually scary. I felt like I was in a kind of nightmare movie because it was unreal. There was something so militaristic yet undefined on the surface. The Canadian police were at attention with nothing to do. I felt like they were hoping for something to take away their boredom. I immediately felt like I was at their mercy. After at least one hour, which felt like a week, I was worried I would miss my special appointment. Of course I swore to uphold isolation and all the regulations like phoning in to report my isolation daily, because Canadians can’t be trusted I guess I finally went to ask the nurse if I could leave. She told me that the very young Chinese guard in the first booth said that he didn’t agree and I had to go to their choice of detention centre. I was floored and asked if she could do something. No, the Chinese guard said, no! The Canadian Health Canada nurse obviously got orders from him. Well. I was so shocked that I wasn’t allowed my medical emergency care. I said well I have to try and make my appointment because it was beginning to be painfully unbearable. All she said was that I could call for an ambulance see a paramedic and wait until my detention was over. I thought that a nurse would know that in cases of specialist treatment a paramedic is of no help. I had to say I must leave and I’ll deal with the consequences later. It’s a $3000.00 fine. I grabbed my suitcase that was sitting alone outside the deserted luggage pick up and realized that 2 police men were on either side of me. They escorted me away from the exit to another row of people in a long booth. There were about 10 people manning whatever this was. I was brought up to a lady who said, ‘Before you go, you need the Covid test.’ I said “yes. Let’s do it please”. Then she insisted I answer questions. At least the policeman gave me a chair. I was going to miss my appointment for sure now. The first thing this lady said after name address etc etc that was right on her computer was “What Covid hotel are you booked at?” None. Please I really need to hurry. May I have my test? No. Then I actually began to cry. I just couldn’t help it. My pain and worry we’re building up. I calmed down and the lady said “let’s continue “Now what Covid hotel are you going to?” I said none. ED Noor: Most of the Canadian hotels used for housing people a la internment camps, are owned by an international Chinese (national) company ~ JinJiang Company. I got up to go to the testing tent. Then three police were around me. I was trapped and now I thought if I overreacted they are going to put me in a jail cell. I asked them” what’s going on?” If you don’t do what you are told we will take you to jail.” That was just too much. I sat back down and the lady asked me “What Covid hotel are you booked in?” Again! Then I stood up and said please ticket me and let me go. Oh no. Then a male nurse with the three police came around me. He obviously saw I was in distress, shaking and sweating and I was on the verge of tears again. I’m not usually like this but I was in a bad way. This was just abusive now. So I have to answer the questions. I kid you not the lady said. “Ok now. What Covid hotel are you booked into?” Wow. Such abuse of power and contemptive behaviour! I stood up and said. “Oh no you don’t.“ and made my way to the test tent. There were about 10 Chinese women doing the tests. The nurse from the front was then there along with to two policemen shadowing me. I was finally led to a chair and a Chinese nurse swabbed my nose. I got up after thanking her very politely and made my way to go to the exit. Now the nurse and one officer escorted me then another officer came up while I was still not outside the roped in test area. I wasn’t sure if they weren’t going to take me down and off to jail. All of these police and Chinese guards and Chinese testers for small handful of people who all test negative coming home! They must be assholes for doing the governments work especially when the real power lays with the 3 Chinese men in the first booth. It was plain to see that there was an incredible amount of “hate” and distrust for anyone who dared leave our country when orders were to stay masked and locked up during Trudeau’s great Communistic Power Play to prove to his Global Elites that he has his foot ready to squish anyone who dares not to be abused, used and punished in Trudeau’s new FIRST POST NATIONAL STATE. The nurse then said “I have to give you instructions” as she handed me a non compliance form. At this point I just laughed and said “What are you doing here. You don’t make medical decisions you just sign off on what that young man tells you and he sure as heck isn’t a nurse or doctor. So you just abuse seniors who have disabilities! Just leave me alone”. I shook them off and finally escaped from my first brush with a look at what the people in Canada are letting happen. What country did I land in? Well that sure wasn’t Canada. God only knows what we are in for. The Chinese run the place. What else are we not seeing? With the Chinese Communist Huawei G5 spy system up and running across our country now, installed during our first lockdown. Victoria is building a Chinese Museum honouring the Chinese and let’s not forget about a little virus called Covid-19 that set all of these new communistic power moves in motion and the death of old useless seniors like me, I ask “What next.”

Russian Quarter in Turkey Buying real estate and housing in Turkey is currently very popular among foreigners. Every year thousands of Europeans, residents of the CIS and the Middle East come to the resort country in search of high-quality and comfortable housing. Russian-speaking foreigners especially liked the Republic of Turkey and Russians. Russian Russian diaspora can be said to have developed in some cities over the past few years, in some areas of Istanbul, Antalya and Alanya, the Russian language is heard at every step, Russian-speaking sellers work in shops and cafes, company names use familiar words. Where Russians live in Turkey - statistics, living conditions First, it is necessary to state some official facts. According to statistics, it is relatively difficult to determine how many Russians live in Turkey. Private sources say that this is about 500,000 people, but it is difficult to say how much this figure corresponds to reality. Nevertheless, the number of purchases of real estate from foreigners is growing every year and many are moving to the southern country. Women over the age of 30 most often move to the Republic of Turkey because they pretend to be Turks who appreciate the beauty, wisdom and kindness of our compatriots. Russian-speaking representatives of the strong half of humanity most often travel with their families to Turkish resorts. From the point of view of employment, Russians are engaged in tourism and entertainment, because hotels always need good animators, service personnel and dance groups. Those who have already sung in order to master the Turkish language are accepted to other higher-paying positions, and some start their own profitable business. Russians are also attracted to Turkey by the developed housing and communal services sector. At a lower price, the quality of services meets all European standards. This applies not only to cleaning of premises, water supply, food, but also to maintenance in all areas, be it electricians, locksmiths, installation of air conditioners, maintenance in beauty salons and much more. Many buyers from post-Soviet countries are wondering: where is it better for Russians to live in Turkey? The choice of a place depends on the personal preferences of each foreign citizen. However, statistics show that most of our compatriots have settled in Istanbul and Alanya. In our article, we propose to understand in more detail how Russians live in Turkey for permanent residence, especially in Istanbul and Alanya. Russian Quarter in Istanbul One of the most popular Russian-speaking citizens is the Laleli district of Istanbul. Geographically, it belongs to the Fatih district of the European part of the metropolis. The hotel is located between Aksapai Square and Beyazit. Fatih is quite large, there are many shops and markets. The name Laleli is very poetic, as it comes from the Turkish word "lale" or "tulip". Perhaps because it is very close to the famous central Sultanahmet Square with a deep historical past and many cultural monuments. There are beautiful parks where hundreds of colorful tulips grow in spring. Laleli County is notable not only for its rich history, but also for its beautiful local architecture. Laleli is even considered the heart of Russian Istanbul. The store in Laleli is excellent, and sellers literally sell their goods on the streets of the city all day. According to eyewitnesses, it is quite difficult to feel like a guest here for a long time, since most sellers speak Russian, and some signs in shops and restaurants have translations. The local markets offer a large selection of goods: souvenirs, outerwear made of leather and fur, bags, purses, belts and other accessories at different prices for all ages wholesale and retail. In general, this is all that you can imagine. It is worth noting that the largest bazaar in the world Kapalı arsı is located in the Laleli district in Istanbul. Kapala Charshi Market covers an area of about 200,000 square meters. There are about 5,000 shops with various goods on its territory. As you know, Kapaly Charshi has a rich historical past, as the year of its foundation is estimated at 1461, and since then everything has been focused on meeting the needs of the customer. In addition to business premises in Laleli there are many cafes and restaurants serving dishes not only Turkish, but also Russian cuisine. There are many small and large hotels in Laleli, which are often rented by foreigners to see the most unique sights of Istanbul. In addition, the city government has really prepared a successful and very convenient transshipment point for public transport - metro, taxi, tram, buses. Of the attractions of the Laleli district of Istanbul, we definitely recommend visiting: * Laleli Mosque, built in 1763 with a fountain and beautiful ancient architecture. * Ataturk Boulevard. * The Sultan's current mosque. * Aksaray market area. * The graves of Sultan Mustafa, Sultan Selim. * A unique temple from the Byzantine monastery of Bodrum Kamii. * The Martian pillar or, as it is also called, the stone of the Virgin Mary, on which the statue of the goddess Niki stood in ancient times. * Remains of the church of St. Polycleta. * Merit Antique Hotel with unique architecture in Istanbul. * Large shopping malls and an indoor bazaar. Of course, Laleli is not the only district of Istanbul where Russian citizens prefer to buy and live in real estate. In addition to the Russian region itself, venerable Besiktas, elite Beyoglu, picturesque Saryer on the shore of the Bosphorus, Fatih, the oldest quarter of Istanbul Kadekey, cheap Beylikduzu are popular.

Sebastien Buemi is a Swiss race car driver famous for racing in Formula One and winning the FIA World Endurance Championship. Having won the endurance title two times and Formula E once, Buemi rose to fame in the racing world. With experience in Formula One racing, Sebastien has managed to achieve great things. He, like almost all other racers, started from karting and has been a familiar name ever since. With the ever-growing popularity of car racing over the years, fans are eager to learn more about Buemi's day-to-day life. He has established himself as one of the top racers in the world, so people are curious about how he handles pressure from fans and critics and how he balances his personal life along with it. So, in this biography, let's talk more about Sebastien Buemi's rise to fame and the success that has followed him. Grandfather Was A Racer The racer was born Sébastien Olivier Buemi on October 31, 1988, to Swiss parents Antoine Buemi and Veronique Buemi in Aigle, Sweden. Sebastien Buemi's father and mother are very supportive of his career and have attended many of his races too. The former and other members of his family often talk about how much the couple sacrificed for their son's dream of being a race car driver. Buemi's maternal grandfather, Georges Gachnang, was also a racer. He used to race in many circuits when he was working as a Toyota mechanic for fifty years. Likewise, Sebastien Buemi's parents were VW dealers in Aigle and owned a body shop. Sebastien Buemi's father was a mechanic and still has the garage, where his mother and brother also work. Additionally, when Buemi was five years old, he was gifted his first kart by his dad which began his car racing journey. Moreover, the racer traces his ancestry back to Italy as his great grandparents were Italians, and claims he was brought up in the culture of community bonding. Sebastien Buemi Net Worth And Career Three years after getting his first kart, Sebastien started his racing career at the age of eight. It took him a year to win his first title as he claimed the Swiss Minis Championship, followed by four Swiss Karting titles Mini, Mini90, and SuperMini, among others. With one championship win along with 13 total victories in Formula E, Buemi has certainly amassed a considerable sum of amount. Thus, Sebastien Buemi's net worth must be immense. The driver has had plenty of achievements in his career so far. From winning the European Kart Championship in 2002 to the Italian Kart Championship a year later, he established himself as an excellent kart racer. He also won the BMW Scholarship title near the end of 2003 and got the funds that would help him compete in the 2004 Formula BMW Championship. However, he finished third behind runner-up Sebastian Vettel. After that, Buemi was approached by Red Bull to sign a five-year sponsorship deal in 2005. That propelled his career to greater heights as he started racing in 2006 and 2007 in Formula Three, followed by driving an F1 car for the first time. His first Grand Prix was very memorable as his whole family came out there to support him, including his two uncles. In his first-ever F1 Qualifying session, Buemi drove Toro Rosso STR4 and finished seventh as Lewis Hamilton was disqualified. He is one of the few racers like Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, and Alain Prost to ever score points on his debut Grand Prix. Also, he finished the season in 16th place with six points. Likewise, after three full seasons with Toro Rosso in F1, Sebastien joined Red Bull as its third driver. His task was to work on the development of the car and be ready to take over one of the two drivers in a Grand Prix when needed a backup. In the 2012 season, the racer competed in Le Mans 24 Hours. Unfortunately, his car was retired after his co-driver Anthony Davidson crashed. Moreover, Buemi won the 2014 WEC season with four victories and seven podium finishes with 166 points. He and Davidson were crowned World Champions in Doha, Qatar. The former also won the Formula E title in the 2015-16 season. He then claimed four titles of 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022. Le Mans' prize money for the overall winner was estimated to be $40,852.8 (€40,000), as per BOLAVIP. Also, the average pay of a Formula E driver is $61,198 per annum. So, Buemi must have earned considerably from his prize money and competing in Formula E. Aside from that, he has also signed sponsorship contracts with Maxon and Swiss Visio. Hence, Sebastien Buemi's net worth must be significant. Married To His Long-Time Girlfriend The former Formula E champ has been happily married to his long-time girlfriend, Jennifer Buemi since August 2015. The couple has known each other since they were teenagers and later fell in love. Sebastien Buemi's wife was working as a pediatric nurse at the Rennaz Hospital as per a 2015 article. Sebastien Buemi married his long-time girlfriend in August 2015. Image Source: Sebastien Buemi Instagram. Sebastian Buemi's spouse hails from Montreux, Switzerland, and was quite busy with her job when the COVID-19 hit. The racer used to worry about her a lot but was appreciative of her dedication to saving lives. Proud Father Of Two Sons Sebastien considers himself quite lucky to be the father of two adorable kids. He often reminisces the sacrifice made by his father when he was growing up and questions himself if he can do the same thing for his children. Sebastien Buemi's sons are named Jules Buemi and Theo Buemi. The former F1 racer's boys were born two years apart and look adorable. It is certain fatherhood has changed the Swiss driver as he seems to acknowledge the contribution of his dad in his career. Also, it can be reflected in how he thinks about his kids. Overall, Buemi seems to be living a grand and comfortable life with his beautiful family. Let's hope the sportsman can keep doing well in racing and make his family proud. Our best wishes are with the racer. Trivia And Facts - Sebastien became the European Karting champion at the age of 13. - Buemi's cousin Natacha Gachnag competes in car racing too. - He starred in a racing mini-series in 2017. - He has 97K followers on Instagram and 126.8K followers on Twitter.

I have been a creator and moderator of a photo critique and sharing platform called CPA (https://creativephotoartist.org/) for last 14 years and the whole idea was to create a platform for photographers to share images and comment on them constructively. While the site has seen its good and bad days the whole crux of the platform was to provide a critique on the images and this made me wonder what is the best way to critique an image. This write up is all about science and art of image critiquing. In photography, we have use the term “photo critique” to judge an image and provide feedback to the photographer about that image! Now, “judge” may be a strong word to use, but the term simply implies that we create a conclusion about something based on a standard. Now what is that standard there must be basis for that standard and what should be the basis for that judgement? In art forms which photography is one such form it becomes a subjective issue and we can’t keep subjectivity out of it and the same picture might be judged differently by different people. Some may critique based on technique and technicality, whereas others may use intuition. A few more will use pure bias or feelings, and there are those who will even critique based on their favourite colour. If we want to provide critique effectively, it’s good to be aware of what you’re using as your standards of judgment, even if they’re subjective. Is there a method? Yes there is a method for giving critiques as well as receiving it and I will list out some of them. For the critic: First understand why you are giving a critique, here intention matters: Most of the time the author would have posted an image not only to get the viewers impression of it also to get the advice from the viewer with respect to what it means to him and how a picture can be improved. So the first intent of a person giving a critique should be as constructive as possible and explain what the pictures conveys to him and how it can be improved. Great care must be taken to avoid misunderstanding and sarcasm ( we see this a lot) , please do understand photography more or less in art form is a personal feeling, Sarcastic comment or a poorly written comment can be concluded as an assessment of the photographers ability (or lack of it) and it also reflects poorly on the critic as a person. - Study the image technically as well as aesthetically and take your time to understand the reasons behind the shot. Also consider asking these questions “What works? and “What does not work ?). - Analyse the image based on fundamental areas ( camera knowhow, composition, lighting, visual storytelling, subject selection, post-processing, and specific areas of study). - After studying the image , list out the technical and aesthetic qualities of the image that appeal and also that do not appeal. - Start the critique by writing what you like about the image. It is a misconception that a critique should only nitpick. - List out the technical and aesthetic qualities of the image that needs improvement. - Whenever possible offer suggestions and improvements. Points to avoid: - Sarcasm: Being sarcastic and taunting is a strict NO. it indicates a person with high ego and narcissistic mentality and it’s of no use to the author. - Personal comments: Avoid making personal comments on the author; an image is not an reflection of a person. In civilized world personal attacks and comments do not hold any value and will undermine your intent. For the Photographer: Let us also discuss how we should receive a critique. First understand receiving a critique is all about learning and it’s feedback to improve. Points to consider: - Do not post images and expect only affirmation (Great Image , Lovely etc. ). - Respect the person who is critiquing the image, after all he is taking his time to critique an image. - Leave your EGO behind: we are humans and sometimes critiques can hurt your ego especially if it is negative feedback given by someone who you do not like or whose work you do not appreciate! Please remember every viewpoint is important to improve, photography is a viewer’s art, and every view should matter. - Study the critique and do the following: - What does the feedback tell me about what I can improve on? - Based on what I need to improve on, what specific skill in photography do I need to learn more about? - Ask questions if you do not understand and seek help - There might be times where you do not agree, do not get into arguments take it sportively. - Remember no comments is worse than negative comments. - Get sociable.

At some point after your military retirement and before your ultimate retirement, you might want to cut back on your workload. One option might be the gig economy. The gig economy refers to those workers who freelance, contract, or otherwise rely on ‘gigs’ to supplement their income. While you might assume that this network consists primarily of millennials and younger individuals, retirees make up a larger portion each year. According to Kiplinger, more than 400,000 seniors are now finding gig work online in order to utilize their time, and wealth, properly.1 It you do want to explore the gig economy you might want to consider a variety of gigs including driving for a ride-sharing service, renting out space for travelers or vacationers, or even pet-sitting locally. Before You Start... Ask Yourself If You’re Ready As a military retiree, you have a base income that may support your main lifestyle needs. While for many being dependent on the gig economy might not be for them because income can fluctuate so much, it can be a great way to spend some time doing something you’re passionate about or discovering a new interest. Keep in mind that even though you may be a gig worker it’s still important to stay up to date on your taxes too. Set Your Goals As you consider taking on gig work, it’s important to set reasonable expectations and goals for yourself by doing research in areas that interest you. Keeping in mind your earnings potential as well as the challenges you may encounter along the way are also key to succeeding in the long run. While getting started can be relatively simple, it may take some time to maximize your potential and in turn, your income in whatever platform you turn to for your work. Do the Math If you’re currently retired from the military, you’ve hopefully done your homework related to how to utilize your wealth and income sources to continue the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to achieve. When it comes to picking up gigs, it’s important to emphasize whether you’re reliant on the income you will receive or if it’s not about the money and you’re in it for the passion and excitement that can coincide. If you are in fact choosing to work again because of your financial situation, it’s important that you understand where you are and what you’ll need to earn in order to live confidently and eventually leave a legacy of impact. Build Your Brand In any industry it is important to take the time to build a name for yourself and network properly so that you can find success. As a retiree, this is equally important whether you’re doing something out of passion or necessity. Get started on one platform initially and expand slowly so that your audience can grow with you. Making sure your reputation speaks for itself can make a big difference when it comes to spending your retirement years wisely. Don’t Forget About Taxes By making it this far you know that taxes can be difficult! It’s important to keep in mind the details when it comes to working for yourself. You’ll need to deduct taxes multiple times throughout the year, setting enough aside to cover self-employment tax and income tax. You will also need to file an annual tax return, unless you’re earning less than $400 a year.2 The IRS website provides more information about this. But as a base reference, you should plan on about 40% of your profits going towards taxes. An accountant, or trusted advisor, can always be helpful when it comes to taxes, whether you’re working for yourself or not.

By Jacqueline G. Goodwin, Ed.D. • Photos by Danielle Debley Many folks in Harrisburg and York can now boast that they’ve hugged or even kissed an alligator thanks to Wally. Once a tiny gator who nobody wanted, Wally, has graduated into a new role as an emotional support animal. Now four years old and 35 pounds, Wally has become world famous, having greeted visitors from all over the world who have come to visit, record, televise, and personally pet him. Wally’s journey from Florida to Pennsylvania began in 2015. “My friend called from Florida and asked me, ‘Do you want a gator?’” says Joie Henney. “My friend rescues alligators and told me that a gator was rescued from a lagoon. If I wanted him I could have the gator. Henney, who had a hunting and fishing show on ESPN Outdoors, Fox and other outlets from 1989 until 2000, jumped at the chance to rescue a gator. “Wally was just over a year old when I brought him home,” says Henney, who suffers from depression. “After Wally came to live with me, I began to feel so much better.” Over time, Henney realized how much the gator calmed him, and he decided to register Wally as an emotional support animal. Henney says when he first arrived at his home, little Wally was afraid of everything. “He snapped, and I had to feed him with tongs because I didn’t want to lose a finger” says Henney. He made it a point to pick Wally up on a regular basis, showering kisses and hugs, and soon Wally began to feel more at home. Henney says Wally eventually became as domesticated as he would become. “But he’s still a wild animal,” cautions Henney. “You still have to be careful around him.” Henney says Wally, “is just like a dog.” Wally, who is now 5 feet long, follows Henney and girlfriend Liz Caswell around the house, sleeping on “his” couch and lying in bed. Wally also loves his 300-gallon pond which Henney has in the living room and which he shares with Scrappy, another gator who Henney rescued. Henney also rescued two other gators which share his home—Hope and Luna. Unfortunately, Hope is disabled, having recovered from a broken back and leg. But she has her own gated area which protects her. Luna is still a very young gator who has her own area, too. “Wally helps me keep my spirits up,” says Henney. “He can also sense when folks are not feeling well. He’ll do his best to get to that person to comfort them.” Henney says that Wally loves to watch television. “His favorite show is ‘Swamp People’ and his favorite movie is ‘The Lion King’” says Henney. “Wally also loves going on walks and drives in the car.” Wally loves to cuddle with folks who are receptive to becoming intimate with a gator, resting his head on their laps or snuggling up on their feet. Henney encourages people to rub the top of Wall’s head. “When you rub the top of Wally’s head, it’s like petting a dog,” says Henney. “Wally will close his eyes and enjoy it just like a dog does.” Henney knows that many people can be afraid of Wally so he only takes his emotional support animal to places he knows the gator will be welcome. He says Wally has gone with him to stores such as Cabela’s and Lowe’s, and he does take him into restaurants when requested. “Many owners are afraid of having a gator inside their restaurant due to fears of their customers contracting salmonella,” says Henney. “But gators don’t carry salmonella.” A recent scientific study by George Mason University has found that alligators and other crocodilians have developed a very strong defense against infection. “They inflict wounds on each other from which they frequently recover without complications from infection despite the fact that the environments in which they live are less than sterile,” says co-author of the study, Barney Bishop. In 2008, chemists in Louisiana found that blood serum taken from alligators destroyed 23 strains of bacteria and depleted reserves of the HIV virus. The germ-killing molecules were identified as enzymes that break down a type of lipid. “My goal is to educate the public about gators,” says Henney. “I take Wally to schools, senior centers, and retirement homes,” says Henney. “I make presentations about alligators and those who want to pet or hold him can do so. Henney says the public is really impressed by Wally. “Everyone loves him. And children with developmental issues are mesmerized by his presence.” Henney recounts a recent visit to a nursing home where Wally made a profound impression on a male resident who was suffering from dementia. “This 93 year-old former farmer had not smiled in over a year. But when Wally found him and the gator put his head on the man’s feet, he smiled. The man’s blank look disappeared, and he began to smile. He really liked Wally.” While Wally could grow to be 15 or 16 feet long, and weigh up to 1,000 pounds or more, Henney says he will never part with his emotional support animal. “Wally will always have a home with me.” Henney also says his other gators will have a permanent home, too. Henney has plans to build a special facility for his gators so they’ll have room to grow. His plans also include opening the facility to the public to learn and experience the world of gators. Also in the works is a 501c3 foundation which will allow Henney and Caswell to raise funds from their presentations about gators and appearances from Wally, with all donations going to feed the homeless. To learn more about Wally, go to his Facebook page, Wallygator. To schedule a visit with Wally and a presentation by Henney, contact Caswell at firstname.lastname@example.org

- Supports 259 languages. - Server-side. Saves bandwidth, latency, and battery compared to client-side rendering. - Near-zero load on the backend. With a caching solution this does not affect your page load time at all. - Line numbering. If you want to (no vertical displacements between code line and line number). - Default style was tested with more than 20 themes, including Twenty Ten to Fifteen, and tweaked based on a bunch of user feedback. - If you’d like to tweak the style: just provide your own CSS file. Styles are highly & easily configurable. - Per-block styles: each code block on a single page can be styled on its own (if that is something you would liked to do). - Clean, small and valid HTML output. - Well-documented source code using modern WordPress API calls. - I have maintained this plugin for several years and I plan to continue to provide support. - Based on GeSHi, a reliable and well-established PHP highlighting engine, used by popular community forum applications such as phpBB or wiki applications such as Dokuwiki or MediaWiki. WP-GeSHi-Highlight works as a drop-in replacement for WP-Syntax, which does not seem to be maintained anymore (as of 2015). Make the switch, it should just work (let me know how it went)! WordPress 5 users: for now I have tested this plugin only with the Classical Editor. Gutenberg is not yet supported (it may work though, let me know). Recommendation: use the “Text” (raw) editor. Do not use the “Visual” editor. Switching between both may corrupt the contents of your code blocks. In the text editor insert code blocks as pre blocks, and use the lang argument to define the language of the code snippet: <pre lang="language"> CODE </pre> A short example for the <pre lang="bash"> $ dd if=/dev/zero of=image.ext3 bs=1M count=10000 oflag=append conv=notrunc </pre> Publish/preview, and have a look at the result! • Theme compatibility of the default style sheet: The default style sheet was tested with recent versions of all official themes (Twenty Ten to Twenty Fifteen), and with a large range of non-official themes such as Vantage, Customizr, ColorWay, Zerif Lite, Responsive, Storefront, Virtue, evolve, Make, Sparkling, Spacious, Enigma, Sydney, Point, Interface, SinglePage. Certain themes might define styles with a high specificity that negatively affect the visual code block appearance. It is difficult to impossible to anticipate all these cases in advance, so I expect this to happen in rare cases (the past has proven that these things happen). So, I need you to look out for these situations, and please report them! - Upload the wp-geshi-highlightdirectory to the - Activate the plugin through the plugins menu in WordPress. - Use it.

Nigel Farage has described a document he claims showed Coutts closed his bank account because it did not agree with his political views as “prejudiced and nasty”. The former UKIP and Brexit Party leader said he was shocked by the “vitriol” within the document as he called for a change in legislation to ensure the right of an individual to open a bank account. Mr Farage said he had a 40-page document showing he met the “criteria for commercial retention” but the exclusive bank Coutts – used by the Royal Family – wanted him to leave because of his views which range from his position on LGBT+ rights, through to his friendship with former US president Donald Trump. He told Sky News: “It’s such a prejudiced, nasty document. It’s the metropolitan elite loathing the views of the many millions of us that live outside the M25. “I was shocked with the vitriol that was within it. “My case is one clearly of discrimination. They do not like my opinions. All of my views are legal. All of my views actually are majority views in the country. “It is wrong that banks can just close people down and not give any reasons why that is, I think that is going to change.” Sky News has not seen the document in question. Mr Farage claimed 10 banks have refused to open an account in his name, saying he may “effectively become a non-person” without a method of banking. “You can’t exist. You can’t live. Luckily, there are some 21st century technical fintech operations out there through which I will be able to receive income and pay money out [but] it’s not a bank account,” he said. “I can’t earn interest on the money. I can’t borrow money. I can’t have an overdraft limit. I can’t take out a mortgage. I haven’t quite yet worked out whether I can do direct debits to the electricity supplier. “I can get by [but] it’s not the same as a bank account. It is a deeply personal issue. “To announce to the world that a bank has foreclosed on you is quite an embarrassing thing to do and without doubt will affect my credit worthiness for years to come.” Mr Farage called for “regulatory change”. “I believe it should be a right in this country for any individual to have a bank account, to open a business account. I’m actually quite optimistic with this debate that it can happen.” Sky News has learned that further secondary legislation due to be unveiled soon will require banks to give customers three months’ notice of account closures and to provide a full explanation. Mr Farage spoke about the level of support he has received after going public with his financial situation, after Conservative MPs raised his case in the House of Commons during Prime Minister’s Questions. “Never before in my public life have I received such support from across the political spectrum. “I’m normally what’s considered to be a polarising figure, but on this people can see was the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong.” He added: “Don’t forget I’ve been fighting against the Conservative Party for many, many years – Grant Shapps and I [are] not exactly political friends. He’s spoken out on it. “Several Labour have now spoken out and this is a non-partisan issue. This is not about politics.” Earlier, a Coutts spokesperson said decisions to close accounts “are not taken lightly and take into account a number of factors including commercial viability, reputational considerations, and legal and regulatory requirements”.

The market is the definition of “hot” right now (yes, still), houses are coming on and off the market within a matter of days. Keyword there is definitely “most”. If you’re worried your house isn’t moving as fast as the others in your neighborhood are, you definitely need these secrets from master home-sellers! Staging a house is very different from living in a house. How you live in a house is very different from how you need to stage the house for new buyers. It’s hard for buyers to imagine what they’d do with a space when it’s full of your personal touches, or devoid of any furniture or staging at all. Staging smart means staging in a way that gives prospective buyers an idea of how their furniture will fit and how they will move around the space. Best tips for staging your home: - Depersonalize, no more family photos on the mantel! - Change out any furniture that looks too big or two small for the space - Make sure every space has one dedicated purpose It can be tempting to go through and buy all new appliances for the home before you list it–having the newest and shiniest stainless steel pieces can be very appealing for new buyers after all. But before you bust out the credit cards and go to the appliance store take a few moments to stop, look around, and look at the smaller details. As small as it sounds, making sure your cabinets and drawers have matching handles can make a magnificent improvement on a space that’s been well loved. A few small upgrades that leave a big impression: - Clean and matching drawer and cabinet pulls - Light switches - New smoke detectors - Replacing dated light fixtures with modern ones - Internal door knobs, especially taking consideration into which ones should lock There are few things with a house that simply must be in working condition in order to sell well.

Betting, a dynamic activity that combines chance, strategy, and thrill, has a long history woven into human culture. As the world of betting expands and diversifies, discussions about responsible betting become more important than ever. This article delves into the concept of responsible betting, highlighting its importance, challenges, and ethical considerations. Understanding Responsible Betting: Responsible betting involves engaging in wagering activities in a controlled and mindful manner. It emphasizes the balance between entertainment and risk, focusing on maintaining financial stability, emotional well-being, and avoiding harm to oneself and others. Challenges and Pitfalls: Problem Gambling: One of the most significant challenges is problem gambling, where individuals lose control over their betting behavior. This can lead to financial strain, strained relationships, and adverse psychological effects. Impulse and Emotion: Betting decisions influenced by emotions, such as frustration, excitement, or desperation, often lead to poor choices and losses. Addiction: While betting can be enjoyable, it can also become addictive. The quick highs of wins and the urge to chase losses can trap individuals in a cycle of compulsive betting. Protecting Vulnerable Individuals: Betting operators and society at large have an ethical responsibility to protect vulnerable individuals, such as minors and those with gambling addiction. Transparency: Betting platforms should promote transparency, ensuring players understand the odds, rules, and potential outcomes of their bets. Promotion and Advertising: Responsible betting also extends to the ethical promotion of betting services. Advertisements should not glamorize excessive gambling or exploit individuals’ vulnerabilities. Practicing Responsible Betting: Set Limits: Establishing a budget and time limits for betting helps prevent excessive losses and negative impacts on daily life. Self-Awareness: Recognize signs of problem gambling, such as chasing losses, betting with money meant for necessities, and neglecting responsibilities. Educate: Learn about the odds, probabilities, and risks associated with different forms of betting. Informed decisions are key to responsible play. Balance: Betting is entertainment; prioritize enjoyment over financial gain. Avoid using betting as a primary source of income. Seek Help: If betting starts negatively affecting your life, seek professional help and support from organizations specializing in gambling addiction. Betting Operators’ Role: Responsible betting also involves the betting industry taking active steps to ensure a safe and ethical environment: Age Verification: Strict age verification processes prevent underage gambling. Self-Exclusion: Offering self-exclusion options allows individuals to 먹튀사이트 or permanently block their access to betting platforms. Promotion Limits: Setting restrictions on advertising content and frequency to avoid targeting vulnerable individuals. Responsible betting is not only about enjoying the thrill of chance but also about practicing mindfulness, self-control, and ethics. By understanding the risks, setting boundaries, and recognizing signs of problem gambling, individuals can engage in betting while safeguarding their well-being. Ethical practices by betting operators and a collective commitment to responsible betting create an environment where entertainment coexists with safety and responsibility.

Idly By are a 3 piece punk band based in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. The band released their self titled debut album on the 2nd of August 2019. The album contains 10 tracks in total. The opening track “Concerned Realists Vs M&M’s” was co-written by Lindsay Mitchell and features guest vocals by Bec Stevens. It has a nice indie rock kind of intro and a soft verse but a garage punk kind of chorus. This song was uploaded to the bands triple j unearthed page on the 23rd of June 2019 so some people may have already heard it. Track 2 “Dagget” was also released ahead of the album both as a music video and an audio file through the bands triple j unearthed page on the 15th of July 2019. Lyrically this song seems to be about pushing away the harmful stuff in life and doing what makes you happy with people who make you happy. Musically this song has more speed and distorted guitars but the soft/loud soundscape is still present. Like the first two tracks “Idly By” was released on the triple j unearthed page. Musically it starts off with a different feel to the previous tracks adding to the albums richly diverse soundscape. The bass line and leady guitar bits are full of pop punk goodness, it even has a bounce to it similar to ska. “Breathing” the vocal track is almost spoken word at times, perhaps a little comical in its presentation but I feel like that’s part of the appeal with this album, at least for me. The bass guitar on this track is great, musically it sits somewhere between pop punk and garage punk with strong melodic vibes throughout. “Dumpstar” feels like a slow melodic start before bursting into a fast paced punk song with distorted guitars. The song has a breakdown that reminds me of Goldfinger’s ska style breakdowns. Before returning to the opening guitar part which has a very indie rock feel. “Never Learnt To Fly” is probably my favourite song with fast paced distorted guitars and the vocals in this song have a hint of desperation mixed with urgency in its delivery. “False Starts” is similar to the other songs with a soft/heavy soundscape, a great bass line, melodic lead guitar fills and great sounding distorted guitar chords. “Broken Screens” is a laid back rock type track that starts with open chord guitar parts, Wicked bass fills and it picks up the pace towards the end of the song turning into a big punk slap in the face. “Bench Seat” guitar intro both lead and rhythm. Faster pace, bass n drum parts in verse with guitar chords build up. Lyrically this is one of the strongest songs on the album. The final track “Lyrical Nausea” has all the elements of a good punk pop song with its fast pace, distorted power chords and melodic lead guitar parts. It also has the stop/start parts familiar to fans of the genre and leaves you wanting more like a good album should. The band is putting on a launch show for their new album on the 13th of September at The Jade in Adelaide with The Beerbellies, Peanut Butter Crack Babies, Ventolyn and Two Sea Bee. Idly By is Luke Davies – drums and moustache Christian (tbag) Hancock – lead bass and backing vox Leith James – guit and vocals Idly By Links Check out Idly By on spotify but if you really want to support the band and scene buy music/merch ,go to shows ,

They have a magnificent team. These people are always kind and willing to listen to your concerns or issues. Better yet, your assignment is always ready before the time, they usually send you a draft to double-check before they finalize your paper. The business I picked is Ontario Improv Comedy Club. I picked this one because as I was browsing Facebook all I kept seeing were companies posting job openings and I came across this one, not to mention I just went to this place last week on a last-minute date night with my Husband on a great deal. Advantages for this company doing their promotion on Facebook is that they can sell unsold tickets at great prices last minute. As I mentioned we went last minute last week. We ended up getting the tickets for free and just ended up paying for service fees and taxes. The disadvantages are not for them it’s for us. The fees and taxes came out to fifteen dollars, but I guess that is not bad for two tickets. The other disadvantage is we had to buy two items each at the facility, which was also a requirement to go. That cost almost fifty dollars. I can’t complain too much it was a good night out with my Some of the advantages of using social media for a business are: brand awareness, cost-effectiveness, website traffic, customer interaction, and target audience. Some of the disadvantages are: evaluation, ineffective use, resources, and ineffective use. (Social Media Best Practice for Business) I think this strategy is great for Ontario Improv Comedy Club because it gets people to come to their club. It promotes the facility to the local and non-local community. It brings in business and it fills seats not sold and still brings in money because they put a minimal two-item limit on each person. One thing to recommend would be? I don’t know that there would be a recommendation because as they offer free tickets for seats not sold at a great price, they still advertise upcoming comedians. They have some popular ones coming and that is a great way for promoting it brings people in and sales up. I think they could have used a chatbot for those who had questions or maybe use mobile tickets instead of call box tickets. Social-media strategies- use chatbots, efficient content, jazz up your profile, use advocates, establish a social media budget, run a cross-channel campaign. And tell a story live. (Newlands, 2017) Although I originally thought that the post was a difficult thing every week, I will say yes it was a learning experience for me. It gave us great topics and we had to have a minimum of two references which had us research our work. I liked this way of discussion. I preferred it compared to what should have been because I learned more this way. I enjoyed this class and learned a lot. I think this is the first time I gave all tens for my course evaluation. Thank you to the professor. As for some of us being pros, I don’t think anyone is a pro (no offense to anyone) I feel there is always room for everyone to learn, maybe that’s because I love to learn.

Furry friends are members of the family. You can love your pets and still hate the mess that is associated with them. Fortunately there are ways to maintain a clean home while keeping your pets. Here are some solutions to have a fur free home. Select Pet Friendly Fabrics Shag carpeting is probably not very practical if you have pets. Choose fabrics for your furniture and curtains that has the ability to be easily cleaned. Having pets means that there will be mess associated with them. Do something to minimize the amount of mess that is visible. Some fabrics are more pet resistant than others. Microfiber couches work better if you have cats. This type of fabric hides those occasional scratch marks. It is also easier to clean with minimal amount of effort. Select your color choices with your pets in mind. White is not a good choice if you are trying to hide stains. Choose darker colors. Consider having all of your fabric scotch guarded. This will make those accidents disappear with a little bit of cleaning. Wash Pet Beds Frequently Pet beds can be a source of fur. This is true if your pets spend a lot of time in their beds. You may find that there is more shedding during certain times of the year. Get into a routine when it comes to washing pet bed covers. You may even have to wash them more frequently during periods of heavy shedding. Fur is not the only thing that lingers on those pet beds. Odors can become trapped in the fabric. Washing them may remove many of the odors. Try treating the covers before you wash them with an odor removing spray. Many types of stain removers double as odor removers. There are also special pet sprays that remove the enzymes associated with these smells. Read the label before using them to make sure that they are safe for your pet. You may have to replace the beds occasionally if the odor refuses to be removed. Invest in a Good Vacuum Having a reliable vacuum is a must when you have pets. Even if you don’t have much carpet, you likely still have area rugs. Pet hair can become entangled in these carpeted areas. This makes it difficult to get it all out. A wet dry vacuum can prove to be beneficial in these cases. Then you can deal with those liquid pet messes as well. It is prudent to treat the affected area with a pet enzyme remover first. This way you won’t have any lingering odors that attract your pet back to the same spot. You can even use this type of vacuum on your hard surfaces. This will save you time when it comes to keeping your home clean. For removing stubborn hair, try rubbing a balloon over the surface and then vacuuming the carpet. The static causes the hair to come up to the surface. Establish a Weekly Grooming Routine Eliminate the fur at the source. Weekly baths and frequent brushings can cut down on the amount of fur loss. Regular grooming is another way to have less free floating fur. You may choose to take your pet to a groomer. You can also perform this task at home. Make sure to install a good drain guard when washing your pet in your bathtub. This will prevent pet hair from clogging your drain. It is more common to bathe your dog. Cats don’t need to be left out of the equation. Buy a good brush to help remove that excess cat fur. Long furred cats may even need some grooming done of their own. Mats can develop and leave chunks of fur all over your home. Having a grooming routine in place will allow you to control the amount of hair loss that is coming from your pets. Having pets doesn’t mean that your home has to be full of fur. Try these tricks when it comes it getting your home clean.

Welcome to ICEDOTA.COM! We hold drawings for items from the game DOTA 2. How do the drawings take place? All participants bring items or skins from DOTA to the service. Once the necessary number of items has been reached or the time for the game has passed the system randomly selects a winner and awards them all the items. The player who deposited the most valuable items often wins. How does it work? It's pretty simple: - You deposit your skins. - The system calculates your tickets. For example, if your item is worth value 1, you get 1000 tickets, but if you deposit a skin worth value 10, you get 10000 tickets, and so on. - When the limit of 100 items has been reached we collect all the tickets that have been distributed and select one winner at random. Players with more tickets have a better chance of winning than players with fewer tickets. The winner takes all the items from the drawing minus a commission for the system. THE PRINCIPLE IS SIMPLE The more items you bet, and the more valuable they are, the better your chance of hitting the jackpot! But even if you deposit the minimum value you still have a chance to win all the items! Rules and specifications: - The maximum number of items per player is 20 per game. The minimum value for the items in a given bet is value 0.01. - The game ends after 180 second have passed. - Commission system 5 percent. - Sending prize takes from 1 to 30 minutes. - The time it takes to add your deposit to the game varies from 5 to 20 seconds. In rare cases it may take more time because there are a large number of players in the queue or because the Steam system is running slowly. - If you do not pick up the win in two hour, it will be canceled. - Each time when you send us items you agree with the website's rules. - If your inventory is private or you did not entered the correct trade link you can fix this with assistance from tech support. Our bot will send the prize only once. - Only items for DOTA are accepted. Other items will be accepted but will not be counted on the website. - Betting souvenir items (other than gift sets) is prohibited. Trades that include these items will be cancelled. - If you make a deposit when there are less than 30 seconds left in the current game your items may be added to the next game. We are not responsible for this Steam does not transfer items instantly. - We reserve the right to send the winner a prize containing random items with a total value equivalent to the items from the drawing if the prize has not been delivered on time. - We do not store any user data other than Steam user logins and inventory links. - Users's icons and nicknames are available to all users of the service in real time.

The Green Revolution: How European Smart Cities are Tackling Climate Change The Green Revolution is in full swing across Europe as smart cities rise to the challenge of tackling climate change. These urban areas, equipped with advanced technology and innovative solutions, are leading the charge in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable living. In the heart of Europe, cities are harnessing the power of technology to create a more sustainable future. They are integrating digital technology into urban infrastructure to improve the quality of life for their residents while simultaneously reducing their environmental impact. This is achieved through a variety of methods, including the use of renewable energy sources, efficient waste management systems, and advanced transportation solutions. One of the most notable examples of this green revolution is Copenhagen, Denmark. The city has set an ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2025. To achieve this, Copenhagen has implemented a wide range of initiatives, such as the installation of wind turbines, the promotion of cycling as a primary mode of transportation, and the creation of green roofs to absorb rainwater and reduce heat. Similarly, Stockholm, Sweden, is making strides in its quest to become fossil fuel-free by 2040. The city has invested heavily in renewable energy, particularly in the form of biofuels generated from waste. Stockholm also boasts an extensive public transportation system that runs largely on renewable energy, further reducing the city’s carbon footprint. In Spain, the city of Barcelona is leveraging the power of technology to create a more sustainable urban environment. The city has implemented a smart grid system that allows for more efficient energy use and distribution. Additionally, Barcelona has introduced a comprehensive waste management system that includes the use of sensors to monitor waste levels and optimize collection routes. Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, the city of Amsterdam is pioneering the use of electric vehicles. The city has installed numerous electric vehicle charging stations and offers incentives for residents to switch to electric cars. Amsterdam also encourages the use of bicycles and public transportation, reducing the reliance on fossil fuel-powered vehicles. These European smart cities are not only reducing their own carbon emissions but also setting an example for other cities worldwide. They demonstrate that it is possible to integrate advanced technology into urban infrastructure in a way that improves the quality of life for residents while also reducing environmental impact. However, the green revolution is not without its challenges. Implementing these changes requires significant investment and planning. Cities must also work to ensure that these advancements are accessible to all residents, regardless of income level. Despite these hurdles, the progress made by these European smart cities is promising. The green revolution in European smart cities is a testament to the power of innovation and technology in the fight against climate change. By harnessing renewable energy, promoting sustainable transportation, and implementing efficient waste management systems, these cities are making significant strides towards a more sustainable future. As the world continues to grapple with the realities of climate change, the lessons learned from these smart cities will be invaluable in shaping our global response. In conclusion, the green revolution is transforming cities across Europe, turning them into bastions of sustainability and innovation. These smart cities are leading the way in the fight against climate change, proving that with the right technology and forward-thinking policies, a sustainable future is within our grasp.

Turn Summer Learning Loss Into Summer Learning Gain–4 Tips If you know a school-aged student. . .you know someone who is looking forward to summer vacation! And it seems that students who have any difficulty with learning or academics have even more enthusiasm for summer vacation than their peers. Spending so many hours a week all school year, doing the thing you struggle at, over and over again, would be challenging for anyone. Whether it’s reading, or comprehension, or math that is difficult for a student, the extra effort they have been making throughout the year, just to keep up, deserves applause—and, yes, a break. Parents of these stressed students may wonder, however, about the effects of giving them the whole summer off from learning. For many students, three months away from academics can lead to measurable learning losses in skills like reading and math—which, of course, is not what any family wants to be faced with at the start the upcoming school year. It’s wise to plan for a summer that includes both the break and the activity your child needs. Consider the following as you plan for a great summer: A rejuvenating, successful summer requires balance. Schedule time off throughout the summer to celebrate efforts and spend time with family and friends. Days should be a balance of indoor and outdoor activities. Even days that are spent “learning” should have plenty of fun scheduled in, too! Summer gives many children the time to explore their own interests. For example, an animal enthusiast can visit the zoo or attend a forest ranger camp. Summer reading assignments from school can be easier to tackle when the books surround a beloved topic, so parents can help by providing some choices that are a good fit. Tip: Schedule library visits and reading time on your family’s summer calendar! 3. Make a Connection Establish an imagery-language connection through daily life activities to stimulate learning. For example, when giving your child instructions, such as brushing teeth, getting dressed, making their bed, ask your child to picture these items in their mind before they do them. Also, when reading with your child, use imagery stimulating questions when discussing the main idea and overall meaning of the story. Instead of asking, “What was that story about?” you can ask, “What did you picture for that story?” You can expand upon these questions to dive into their images even more. Students can spend part of their summer at one of our learning centers to turn what could have been a learning loss, into a learning gain. Some students come to us with a previous diagnosis of a learning challenge. Some need learning to be easier, while some use summer learning to get ahead for next year. We start by identifying strengths and weaknesses that may be affecting performance in reading, comprehension, and math. And, we make recommendations for individualized instruction plans that create learning gains. Students go back to school with more confidence. Make an impact this summer! It’s a great time to get ahead for next school year. Get started today by contacting us to discuss how we can help make this summer everything your family has been waiting for!

SEATTLE, WA – Marler Clark filed the firm’s second E. coli lawsuit against Cargill today on behalf of Elk River, Minnesota, residents John and Barb Reber and their son, Scott, who became ill with an E. coli infection and was hospitalized for three days after eating a hamburger made from a Cargill ground beef patty. This lawsuit was filed in Sherburne County District Court. According to the complaint, Scott Reber ate a hamburger made from a Cargill ground beef patty on September 22. By September 25, Scott had developed a gastrointestinal illness with symptoms typical of E. coli infection, and was hospitalized on September 28. While he was hospitalized, Scott’s parents learned that a stool specimen submitted for testing had tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. “To date, Cargill has made no effort to compensate my clients for medical expenses or lost wages even though its product has been definitively linked to their illnesses,” said William Marler, managing partner of Marler Clark, who is in Minneapolis mediating E. coli cases stemming from the September 2006 spinach-related E. coli outbreak and this summer’s E. coli outbreak linked to ground beef sold at Lunds and Byerly’s stores near Minneapolis. “It’s time players in the meat industry, the USDA, and other entities involved in ensuring meat safety stepped up to the plate and stopped talking about putting food safety first and put money where their mouths are,” Marler added. BACKGROUND: William Marler has been involved in E. coli cases since the Jack in the Box outbreak of 1993, when he won a settlement of $15.6 million for nine-year-old Brianne Kiner. His firm, Marler Clark, has prosecuted dozens of E. coli cases in Minnesota, including those related to the 2007 ground beef E. coli outbreak traced to PM Beef Holdings and Lunds Food Holdings; the 2006 E. coli outbreak stemming from consumption of E. coli-contaminated ground beef produced by Nebraska Beef and sold at Supervalu, then served at a church supper in Longville, Minnesota; the 2006 E. coli outbreak traced to the consumption of Dole brand baby spinach; a 2006 E. coli outbreak at Taco John’s restaurants that was ultimately traced back to E. coli-contaminated lettuce; an E. coli outbreak in 2001 that was traced to a China Buffet restaurant; and an E. coli outbreak in 2000 linked to ground beef produced by AFG and sold by Supervalu and Cub Foods. More about the Cargill E. coli outbreak can be found in the Case News area of this site.

Driverless vehicles promise a future with less congestion and pollution, fewer accidents resulting from human error and better mobility for people with disabilities, supporters say. But every now and then, one of the cars runs into trouble in a way that casts a bit of doubt on that bold vision. So it was on Tuesday in San Francisco, where a driverless car somehow drove into a city paving project and got stuck in wet concrete. Paul Harvey, 74, a retired contractor who lives in the city’s Western Addition neighborhood, took a photo of the car with roof-mounted sensors, tipped slightly forward, its front wheels mired in the freshly poured concrete. “I thought it was funny,” Mr. Harvey said in an interview on Wednesday. “I was kind of pleased because it illustrated how creepy and weird the whole thing is to me.” The incident, previously reported by SFgate.com, happened just days after California regulators agreed to expand driverless taxi services in San Francisco, despite the safety concerns of local officials and community activists. In a 3-to-1 vote last week, the California Public Utilities Commission, which regulates self-driving cars in the state, gave Cruise and Waymo permission to offer paid rides anytime during the day, throughout the city. Cruise, a General Motors subsidiary, had been offering taxi service in one-third of the city while Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, was offering free trips to passengers. The mishap on Tuesday involved a Cruise vehicle, according to city officials who said it was not clear how the car had ended up in concrete. Rachel Gordon, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Department of Public Works, said that the paving project on Golden Gate Avenue had been marked off with construction cones and that there were workers with flags at each end of the block. “That portion of the road has to be repaved, at Cruise’s expense,” Ms. Gordon said. “Fortunately, no one was injured.” Ms. Gordon said that city officials had been “voicing concerns” about the vehicles, which have driven onto fire hoses or “just stopped in the middle of the road.” She said that the city was willing to work with the companies but that “there’s still a lot of work to do, we believe.” A Cruise spokesman, Drew Pusateri, confirmed that one of the company’s driverless vehicles had “entered a construction area and stopped in wet concrete.” Mr. Pusateri said the company had “recovered” the vehicle, although it was not clear if it was able to drive out of the concrete or if it had to be pulled out. He said the company was in contact with city officials about the incident. Driverless cars have become a common sight in San Francisco, a tech hub where they are often seen on test drives, gathering data that is used to improve their autonomous technology. Though driverless cars have not been blamed for any serious injuries or crashes in San Francisco, they have been involved in several jarring episodes. On Friday night, as many as 10 Cruise driverless cars stopped working near a music festival in San Francisco’s North Beach, causing traffic to back up, according to The San Francisco Chronicle, which reported that the company had blamed “wireless connectivity issues.” In January, a Cruise vehicle entered an area where firefighters were working and did not stop until a firefighter started “banging on its hood and smashing the vehicle’s window,” according to city records. In May, a driverless Waymo car blocked a fire vehicle while it was backing into a station. Driverless-car companies have strongly defended their safety records, particularly when compared with the tens of thousands of people who die in car crashes every year in the United States. Referring to its autonomous vehicles, Cruise said in a statement in April, “Throughout our first million driverless miles, our A.V.s were involved in fewer collisions, were the primary contributor to fewer collisions and were involved in fewer severe collisions with meaningful risk of injury than human drivers were in a comparable driving environment.” Paul Leonardi, a professor of technology management at the University of California, Santa Barbara, said it would be foolish to expect driverless cars to operate perfectly. The cars, like any new technology that relies on machine learning, need to operate in real-world conditions to improve. “It needs to experience a diverse set of use cases so it can learn, and driving into wet concrete is one of those use cases,” Professor Leonardi said. “We might frame this as a positive that all it did was get stuck in the concrete.” He added that when driverless cars encounter conditions like cones and wet concrete, they “can learn from it and the machines can figure out what to do better next time.” Yiwen Lu contributed reporting.

Do you want to make mindfulness practice and learning about emotions both interesting and fun? With this musical mindfulness game, you can! This fun mindfulness activity for kids uses music to assist children in developing fundamental mindfulness skills. The mindful “Feeling The Music” game can help children improve their focusing and listening abilities, as well as connect with their emotions. Before you continue, I thought you might like to sign up to get notified of my upcoming NEW mindfulness GAMES book, which includes tens of fun mindful games. Preparing the activity is lots of fun too. All you need to do is to make a playlist with music that expresses different emotions. Music, as you are probably aware, has been shown to alter one’s mood. Music can make you happy, sad, or or even give you the blues. With older kids you can explore different kinds of emotions, and with younger kids you may want to keep it simple. Oh, and here’s some good news… I created a music playlist to get you started :-) Mindfulness Games for Kids: Feeling The Music Purpose: Mindfulness of sounds, Understanding emotions, Focus Best for: Ages 4+, groups or one-on-one What you need: A selection of music Step 1: Select songs that elicit a range of emotions. Alternatively, you can use the playlist I created for you below. Step 2: Play the songs one at a time, and ask the children whether they think the song is happy or sad. With older children, you can ask them what emotions the songs evoke because they can identify a broader range of emotions. Step 3: Finally, inquire as to why they chose a specific emotion. What is it about the song that makes it happy, sad, or evokes another emotion? Is it the singer’s voice, the pitch, the volume, the speed, or what the singer says? Continue in this manner until you’ve tried all of the songs. Here’s my “Happy and Sad Songs” playlist, which you can use to create your own song list. I hope you have a good time playing this activity with the kids!! We certainly do :-) Sign up for my upcoming NEW mindfulness GAMES book, which includes tens of mindful games. It’s going to be a fun book and it will empower you to teach mindfulness and executive function skills through movement, art, dance, music, nature, food, crafts and all of your amazing senses.

When writing (or reviewing) code, you have better things to do than concern yourself with low-level details about coding style or other changes that are essentially mechanical in nature. Thankfully, the tooling ecosystem for doing these kind of boring changes to Python code has become much stronger in the past few years. Below is my collection, with some alternatives and recommendations. These all go beyond being linters, which only report problems, to being able to fix your code automatically. Most of these work really well with tools like pre-commit so that by the time you come to code review, all the boring stuff is already fixed. Formatting and coding style Black is probably the most populate Python code formatter today. YAPF is another with a similar ethos to Black, but less popular AFAIK, and I don’t use it. I personally prefer the former, isort. reorder_python_importshas a much more verbose style, resulting in many lines for imports. This is useful for reducing merge conflicts, but with the other tools listed here, I don’t find those much of a problem – if you aren’t sure which imports are still needed, include them all and let isort remove the duplicates, and autoflake remove the unneeded ones. table-format makes it easy to have aligned columns in your Python source code. The following tools will do upgrades on your code: pyupgrade – moves code to the most modern Python idioms. flynt – rewrites older string formatting code using .formatand/or f-strings where possible. setup-py-upgrade – upgrades your pytype – this does type checking and produces .pyifiles based on inference, and also includes a merge-pyitool that can merge autotyping – a tool to add type hints for various cases where this can be done automatically. (As a comment, I’m not wild about some of these automated changes. Annotating -> str, when it is required to be a str, seems like a failure of our static typing tools, and it adds a lot of noise.) Many IDEs/editors provide a bunch of tools to rewrite Python code (for example doing renames), often by integrating with language servers. In VSCode, the default is Pylance which is proprietary and can only be used with VSCode. However, pyright powers most of its functionality, and is Open Source. As well as being a command line static type checker, it also functions as a language server, and it’s the one I use from Emacs at the moment. One of the issues I find is that these is that they can be hard to use from the command line, to be able to do more automated refactoring – in fact I haven’t found a good way to do so, other than scripting things using elisp.

FSR Topic of the Month – June Editor: Gianluigi Migliavacca (SmartNet Project) Written by: Ivana Kockar (University of Strathclyde), Gianluigi Migliavacca (RSE) This final article in the series dedicated to the ancillary services from distribution provides a few reflections on regulatory aspects concerning future network operation and how the exciting work carried out in the SmartNet project may help plans to realise a better integration and utilisation of renewable energy. The EU’s Renewable Energy Directive sets a binding target of 20 per cent of final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020. New and even more challenging targets have been set for 2030, including a cut by 40 per cent in greenhouse gas emissions and at least 27 per cent renewable energy consumption. To that end, the increased penetration of the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), i.e. Distributed Generators (DGs), Active Demand Participation (ADP) and Energy Storage (ES) devices, have been hailed as one of the major ways to carry out the transition towards low-carbon power systems. However, the emergence of local, distributed, generation and rising levels of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are challenging the traditional ways of managing energy networks. They also require a review and adjustment of energy policies, both at the EU and national levels. Integration of DGs: complicated, yet necessary and welcomed While national governments and the European Commission are keen to encourage the utilisation of renewable resources, increased RES penetration and DG connections have started to show an adverse effect on network operation, requiring new solutions for the secure system operation. For example, certain areas of distribution networks may increasingly experience voltage violation problems, network congestion, as well as changes in flows or even exports at the TSO-DSO interface. This calls for a better coordination between TSOs and DSOs, including re-evaluation of DSO’s roles and responsibilities in enabling flexibility, as well as managing congestion, active and reactive power flows and data. A work by EURELECTRIC on TSO-DSO interface resulted in a publication of general guidelines for reinforcing cooperation between DSOs and TSOs and data management. A move towards the Smart Grids and the use of smart solutions combined with innovative business models might allow more efficient use of the current distribution infrastructure, and reduce the costs of the transition to a decarbonised electricity system. However, as underlined by the recent CEER consultation, as well as by the SmartNet response to it, such a move also requires revising regulatory frameworks and roadmaps. TSO-DSO interaction and the new “Winter Package” With the increasing integration of RES, there is a need for enhanced flexibility which can be seen both as a challenge and a new business opportunity for entities connected to distribution networks. DERs could get the opportunity to participate in the provision of ancillary services, such as congestion management, balancing and voltage regulation. In the future, they could provide even more advanced services like those related to power quality and system inertia. These opportunities are underlined by the new EU legislative package “Clean Energy for All Europeans”, also nicknamed the “Winter Package”, which seeks to establish a common power market design across the Union while ensuring adequacy of supply, as well as promoting a better integration of RES and demand side participation into the electricity markets. In addition, the Winter Package seeks to further define the regulatory framework for DSOs, which are seen as critical for activating demand side flexibility so as to help with the integration of renewable resources, as well as to enable participation of DERs in ancillary service markets (either directly or via aggregators). However, the Winter Package assigns a role to DSOs for local congestion management but not for balancing, whose management would remain in the hands of the TSOs only. How can SmartNet help realise Winter Package objectives Whereas final regulatory recommendations will be possible only towards the end of the SmartNet project, a few preliminary considerations can already be highlighted on the basis of the experience acquired during the first half of the project: - Cooperation and coordination between TSOs and DSOs are an essential element, if DERs are to play a significant role in the provision of real-time ancillary services (this is particularly relevant if the services are provided to TSOs and can affect the secure operation not only of the local distribution networks to which they are connected but of the entire system as well). While it could be appropriate that TSOs retain a responsibility for the provision of balancing services, nonetheless they could have to share part of this responsibility with DSOs to the extent that the importance of the contributions to this service from entities connected to distribution will grow. - While the EU framework can provide the main guidance for a certain level of synchronisation and harmonised solutions, national and regional regulators will be in a better position to decide which coordinating scheme between TSO and DSO will be the most appropriate locally, and how the regulation should be developed to enable this change. In general, a balance has to be sought for between local optimality and the implementation of a harmonised pan-European design. - The role of the emerging DSOs will depend on the implemented coordinated scheme, and can range from only managing local congestion to managing local market and the provision of ancillary services sold by DERs at both TSO and DSO levels. The latter will involve more integrated TSO-DSO operation. However, it can be expected that the complexity of the implemented scheme will be affected by the size of the DSOs: only big DSOs will be ready to take a role of significant responsibility. Being the DSO landscape very variegated in Europe, we can expect smaller DSOs to have to integrate their efforts in order to be fit for the new responsibilities. - In addition to advancements of TSO-DSO coordination schemes, types, characteristics and regulation regarding the provision of ancillary services will need to evolve so to enable more participants to take part and use these new business opportunities. Therefore, as the potential flexibility providers are mainly small DERs, regulation will have to take fully into account the characteristics of the potential flexibility providers connected to the DSO side. In particular, the importance of the market design for ancillary services has not to be overlooked: only if the architecture of real-time markets will be able to take fully into account the characteristics of the potential flexibility providers connected to distribution grids, it will be possible to obtain a significant participation on their side. - The role taken by the aggregator is crucial: aggregators must be able to provide a simplified interface towards the market, hiding most details and complexities of the characteristics of the single flexibility providers. Aggregators must deliver flexibility providers efficient price signals so as to incentivise their participation. - Viable business models must be available for all market participants, including DERs, aggregators and other customers. It is expected that this may also include new regulation like the establishment of the right incentive schemes, whenever needed. - Network planning will also have to facilitate better utilization of RES, while minimising infrastructure investments, or postponing investments so to reduce the risk of stranded assets. - Finally, technical optimality will have to be supported by a thorough cost-benefit analysis. In short, the path towards a full-fledged participation of DERs to for ancillary service markets is still a long way. Nonetheless, studies like the SmartNet project will provide a contribution towards an increase in the efficiency of the electricity system, thus allowing to reduce prices for the consumers and, at the same time, enabling them to play the central role envisioned in the general philosophy of the Winter Package. Final results of the regulatory analysis carried out by SmartNet and the consequent regulatory recommendations will be available in the second half of 2018.

Introduction Aspect VII (fVII) deficiency is a rare congenital bleeding disorder in which fVII activity level and bleeding inclination do not completely correlate. of Technology and Scopus) were looked using “element VII deficiency” and “pregnancy” or “surgery.” Overall 34 content articles 4 abstracts and 3 institutional instances were examined. Results Literature from 1953-2011 reported 94 live births from 62 ladies with fVII deficiency. The median fVII activity was 5.5%. CHIR-98014 Hemostatic prophylaxis was CHIR-98014 used in 32% of deliveries. Without prophylaxis 40 genital deliveries and 16 cesarean areas were completed. The chances of getting prophylaxis had been 2.9 times higher in women undergoing cesarean section in comparison to vaginal delivery. Post-partum hemorrhage happened in 10% of deliveries with prophylaxis and 13% of deliveries without prophylaxis. The fVII level didn’t differ between women CHIR-98014 who did and didn’t receive prophylaxis significantly. Bottom line We present the just systematic overview of the administration of being pregnant in fVII lacking females. No difference in post-partum hemorrhage was observed in deliveries with and without prophylaxis. As a result we advise that rfVIIa be accessible regarding hemorrhage or operative intervention however not as necessary prophylaxis. Introduction Aspect VII (fVII) insufficiency is a uncommon congenital bleeding disorder that impacts 1:500 0 people. Heterozygotes for fVII gene mutations routinely have fVII activity amounts between 20-60% whereas homozygotes are anticipated to possess amounts <10% although fVII amounts vary predicated on the hereditary mutation. fVII activity level and bleeding tendency usually do not completely correlate as sufferers with similar activity levels possess variable bleeding tendencies. Additionally symptomatic heterozygotes have already been described. It is therefore difficult to anticipate which sufferers might need prophylactic replacement of fVII ahead of hemostatic challenges. The sort of prophylaxis found in fVII lacking sufferers has changed as time passes and depends upon item availability. Due to the volume needed and threat of viral transmitting with clean frozen plasma (FFP) as well as the limited option of fVII focus based on nation recombinant aspect VIIa (rfVIIa) may be the hottest hemostatic prophylaxis agent. rfVIIa is expensive; using 15-30 mcg/kg can price thousands per dosage. Thrombotic events have already been reported in people who have fVII insufficiency and hemophilia after usage of rfVIIa. Spontaneous deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms have already been also reported in sufferers with fVII deficiency. Additionally venous thromboembolism will take place in 1:1000-1:2000 pregnancies. Regardless CHIR-98014 of the thrombotic dangers prophylaxis is recommended by many authors CHIR-98014 for deliveries in fVII deficient ladies with low fVII levels. Previous critiques have used limited cases CHIR-98014 on which to foundation recommendations. We performed a systematic review of the literature to determine the management hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications of pregnant woman with fVII deficiency. Materials and Methods Comprehensive medical databases were looked using the terms “element VII deficiency” and “pregnancy” or “surgery.” Our search yielded content articles from PubMed (n=364) MEDLINE (n=143) CINAHL (n=11) Academic Search Leading (n=39) Cochrane Library (n=2) Web of Technology (n=209) and Scopus (n=337). Abstracts from 426 content articles were examined after 679 duplicates were excluded (Number 1). Referrals from relevant content articles were also assessed yielding an additional 20 content articles. Articles were excluded based upon animal studies another disease not pregnancy management in FVII deficiency review only combined defect non-English article without abstract and no fVII level. The remaining 34 content articles 4 abstracts and 3 institutional instances were examined for mode of Rabbit Polyclonal to ZNF225. delivery type of hemostatic prophylaxis thrombotic prophylaxis hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications. Baseline Element VII levels were recorded. A bleeding history was regarded as positive if earlier menorrhagia epistaxis post-traumatic or post-surgical bleeding was reported. Post-partum hemorrhage was defined as >500 ml blood loss with vaginal delivery or >1000 ml blood loss with cesarean section if given. If blood loss was not reported women were not considered to have hemorrhaged if the authors wrote that no complications occurred or only had minimal bleeding. This study was deemed exempt from the Institutional Review Boards of the University or college of Minnesota and the.

Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? – Esther 4:13-14 When Esther hesitated to speak to King Ahasuerus about Haman’s plot against the Jews, Mordecai’s response was, to quote one commentator, “grounded in the reality and necessity of God’s intervention.” He knew that God would keep His covenant promise and could raise up someone else if Esther chose to keep silent. Yet Mordecai also asked Esther to consider whether God had placed her in the right place at the right time to act on behalf of her people. She had won the beauty pageant and become queen, but she hadn’t been responsible for putting her nose on her face or determining the color of her eyes or the length of her legs. God had done all of that. Mordecai didn’t claim certain inside knowledge of the will of God, but he did realize that God had put Esther in a unique position and that He may well have done so for a unique purpose. Although it may not always feel like it, God has also put each of us in a unique position for a unique purpose. He has us exactly where He wants us, positioned perfectly for “good works, which God prepared beforehand” (Ephesians 2:10). So, instead of wishing for a new job, location, or abilities so that we can get on with our own big, overarching plan, we need to recognize that God’s plan may very well involve simply doing what we’re already doing, to His glory. There is no ideal place in which to serve God except the place where He has set you down—wherever it is. Such a perspective transforms sweeping a floor into divine activity. You may not be a queen like Esther, but your role matters. That’s a tremendous liberation from the fear that life is happening somewhere else, and a tremendous motivation to get on with obeying God here and now! Wherever God has placed you, respond today in obedience to His foreordained purposes. As you go to your office, to your school, or throughout your town, neighborhood, or city, let the words of this hymn become your prayer: Forth in Thy name, O Lord, I go, My daily labor to pursue, Thee, only Thee, resolved to know In all I think, or speak, or do. The task Thy wisdom hath assigned O let me cheerfully fulfill, In all my works Thy presence find, And prove Thy good and perfect will.

Your cart is empty now. Building a growth mindset is like building a muscle: it takes time, effort, and consistency. Just like you wouldn't expect to see results from going to the gym once or twice a month, you won't develop a growth mindset overnight. But if you're willing to put in the work, you can gradually transform your mindset and achieve your goals. There are two main mindsets: Our mindsets can vary depending on the situation. For example, we might have a growth mindset when it comes to our job or career, seeing challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. However, we might have a fixed mindset when it comes to our family in-laws or romantic relationships, believing that our personalities and relationships are set in stone. This is because our mindsets are influenced by our beliefs about ourselves and our abilities. When we believe that we can learn and grow, we are more likely to approach challenges with a growth mindset. However, when we believe that our abilities are fixed, we are more likely to approach challenges with a fixed mindset. It is important to be aware of our own mindsets and how they are affecting our lives. If we find that we are having a fixed mindset in a particular area of our lives, we can challenge our beliefs and start to adopt a growth mindset. This can help us to achieve our goals and live a more fulfilling life. How do you start building a Growth Mindset? Journaling these questions below can help you become more aware of your own mindset and make a conscious choice to adopt a growth mindset. Also, every 3-6 months you can reflect back on these questions, which can help track your progress. Remember, our brain loves patterns, which create our habits. Our mind loves belief systems, which create our perceptions. Many times our habits unconsciously develop around a core belief. If you can practice becoming more aware of your thoughts, then you can learn to consciously choose to have a growth mindset.

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome memoirist, Annette Januzzi Wick to my blog. Annette Januzzi Wick longs to find the perfect care home for her proud, Italian mother, who is slipping further into dementia. In her memoir, the author shares gripping truths about the mistakes she makes before ultimately finding a place where her mother heckles an Elvis impersonator and magically bonds with her daughter through Frank Sinatra’s songs. Whether she is breaking up a fight between her mother and the Easter Bunny or advocating for her mother to avoid a tracheotomy, Annette tries to balance the trials with the triumphs of being a daughter—and caregiver. I’ll Have Some of Yours is for anyone who longs to move past being a caregiver to find a deeply human and humane connection with someone you love. What’s your favorite book from childhood? Mouse Tales. We were five children (not seven mice), but my mother read the story to me in the various voices. She was my first reader of anyone’s words and my own. Favorite beverage/snack while you read or write? When I was editing the draft of a previous work, I used to brew Lapsang Soushong tea. My husband and son would know I was working, because they said the air smelled like a “backyard tire fire” from the tea. What book would you like to be a character in? As a writer, I try to imagine myself in every book I read. Working in the field of aging and dementia, Olive Kitteridge interests and entertains me. Who is your writing heroine/hero? Pat Conroy. For a time, I was immersed in his books because my older sister read him. Then, I realized the way in which he described much of the South informed how I wrote about the Pacific Northwest in my first memoir, I’ll Be in the Car. Place as character came alive for me. What’s your favorite genre to read in your free time? Ironically, I read more fiction than I read memoir. It’s the next mountain to conquer for me. How do you organize your home library? My home library is organized via an old filing cabinet that I bought because it reminded me of my father’s shoe store. When I was ten, my first job at his store was to look up customer names in the filing cabinet, or worse, refile the cards. That being said, I did know the shoe size of the cutest boy in town. Name a book you can’t get out of your head? Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner. Back to the sister topic. I have three sisters. We are now all over 50, and I am fascinated about the trajectories of our lives separate and together. Where is your favorite place to read? We live in an old, Italianate-style home, and don’t have room for large furniture. When I was struck by a car, I was at home during my recovery and had to create a few makeshift recliners around me. When my leg injuries healed, I decided a needed a “chair of my own.” I bought a slim armchair from a modern furniture store and found a blanket from Crate and Barrel to cozy up with while I read in that chair. The setting also allows me to look out the window, a view difficult to obtain given some of our window settings in the home. Where do you do your writing? I write all over the place. I always carry a journal with me, and there are post-it notes scattered about the house and purse containing all the bits of story I am trying to get out of my head and onto the page. What book do you reread over and over? The Death of Santini by Pat Conroy. It was the last book my sister and I shared in. She was later found unconscious after experiencing an anoxic brain event. We were processing our family’s breakup at the time, and I still gravitate toward reading it to understand the falling away on a deeper level. If you could meet one writer ~ living or deceased ~ who would it be? I have so many. I’m really not a devotee of any one writer, because I find that I learn from each book I live inside of. What book is on your bedside table right now? I’m reading Big Familia by Tomas Moniz because it was edited by a friend of mine. I love finding questions about editing choices and then asking her. I am also re-reading Still Alice, as I work on a presentation about the intersection of memory in literature. What do you have coming next for readers? Given the current state of affairs, I have decided, like the dutiful writer I am, to keep a journal. You can frequent my website www.annetttejwick.com which links anyone to my social everything….Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Medium, and find out if I ever make that blog public!

I’ve been meaning to do a full post about the four-guys-in-combat-gear photoshoot for Nuovo Down, but in the insanity that was M3-addiction, I totally got side-tracked. Better late than never, I say. I did post when it was announced that Chun Jung Myung (PIE), Lee Seon Kyun, Lee Jung Jin, and Jang Geun Seok would be teaming up to model menswear for a sports collection called Nuovo Down. See initial post here, which had some, but not all the pictures since it wasn’t all released back then. I’ve now collected all the pictures for this post. Turns out the theme of the pictorial was called “Into the Battlefield” (ROFLMHF – I didn’t know puffer jackets doubled as military gear – does the down repel bullets now?). The theme is ridiculously silly, but the pictures are across-the-board fantastic. In fact, the more I look at them all, the more I am certain my favorite pics are from Jang Geun Seok. No bias on my part – I think it’s the gritty androgynous aura he gives off that is so appealing. I like dichotomies. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot. I have to say that PIE looks exceedingly dour in his pictures, which is why I’m not squeeing over his pictures the way I normally would. I much prefer his photoshoot with his hyung Jang Hyuk for Eider. I love Lee Seon Kyun’s pictures. No other K-actor can smirk quite like him. A few come close, but coupled with his rumble, The Voice wins the smirktastic crown. Lee Jung Jin’s pictures are rather middle-of-the-pack for me. It doesn’t make me want to run out and buy the clothes off his back, is what I’m saying. Though my desire to buy the clothes off the other guys’ back is likely for very different reasons aside from wanting to own said clothes. These pictures were all featured in High Cut magazine, which probably explains the attempt to be highbrow. I really do like this pictorial as a whole, because its less saccharine sweet poses, and more a man-is-manly concept. Which is fine with me. I like my men manly. Unless his name is Jang Geun Seok, at which point I just let that boy be whatever incarnation he wants to be. I just have to point out – while it looks like Lee Jung Jin was literally rolled in mud, PIE looks like he slept in a dumpster for a night, and Lee Seon Kyun appeared to have wandered in from a wilderness trek, Jang Geun Seok was barely tinted with the black stuff. His face looks vaguely like he had a thin smear of black blusher put on. I can LOL all I want, it suits him perfectly. These four guys are all so varying degrees of hot and pretty rolled into one. 😀 [Credit: all pictures as labeled and/or from the Nuovo Down catalogue]

I love the Summer, but I think we had ours last week. A frantic five days of insane temperatures and humidity (for the UK, that is), and now we're back to wind and rain. Tho obviously, as the season dictates, the rain is lovely and warm. Here's some pics. (Give 'em a click for a closer view, it's worth it.) And yes, new stories to follow soon, honest. A lovely view along Norton Common in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire. I used to live near here a few years back, and I don't think the sky has changed much since. Still, I'm loving the daisies. In fact, it turned very heavy and brooding as I wandered around town, peaking in this shot above one of the town's many churches. Not the prettiest edifice, to be sure. But a lovely contrast to the boiling sky. Better weather a few days later as I headed into Norfolk to see my good buds Zoe and Roses. I forget where this windmill is, but it posed beautifully, and didn't wave its arms about too much. It could have done with a lick of paint, mind, but I was on a schedule and didn't want to be late for dinner. Several months ago, I posted some nice shots of the red-leafed Virginia Creeper on Zoe's house. Between seasons, it returns to this. Not as beautiful, but very striking, especially against the red brickwork. Remember the triffids? I have a bit of a thing for wind turbines. I know a lot of folk don't, and perhaps I wouldn't want one on my doorstep, but they make for nice photographic subjects. This is the magnificent front elevation of Ely Cathedral. I spend a lot of time there these days with the frankly gorgeous Lisa; an evening walk round the town is something very special, especially with my beloved for company. I'd like to thank the clouds for their cooperation. Tick-Tock goes the Cathedral clock. A portion of the front elevation. The long lens did its job. The Octagon Tower at the rear of the Cathedral. It's really quite something, but sadly I'm too, erm, "muscular and manly"* to climb the tiny wee staircase to take in the view from its roof. [ * Not a euphemism for "fat". No way. *looks shifty* ] The Cathedral does have a habit of looming from certain angles. This may be one of them. Beautiful, nonetheless. Closer to home, the River Ouse. The skies were having to chase me to keep up, mind. A slice of England. Enough said. To finish, perhaps nature's finest gentle creature, the humble cow. It's the eyes, I think? This one chewed cud contemplatively as I snapped it from the car. Just stood there. As soon as I pulled away, it returned to breakdancing. I'll get a shot of that next time.

Korean Lost Ark players received the Time Together skin for free, but if you play on the European, North America or South America servers, you have to purchase it. You can choose from diverse advanced classes to customize your fighting style in this adventurous video game, Lost Ark. When creating a character, you will be able to select certain customizations options, however, as you progress in the game, you will be able to customize your character even more by equipping skins, one of which is the Time Together Skin. Lost Ark: Time Together Skin Lost Ark recently revealed the patch notes for the Jump to the Endgame update, which introduces several new features to the game. Players can now enjoy Jump-Start servers, Primal Island Battle Royale, Yoz’s Jar and the Amethyst Shard Shop. The update also revealed that players can now procure a diversity of new skins, one of which is the Time Together skin. It is worth noting that the Time Together cosmetics is a Korean 3rd Anniversary feature. Lost Ark was initially released in South Korea in December 2019, and to celebrate the game’s 3rd anniversary, they released the Time Together cosmetics. Lost Ark was only released in February 2022 for Europe, North America and South America. The Time Together skins were initially only released for the Korean servers, however, players playing on the European, North America and South America servers can now acquire the cosmetic item. Bear in mind that the skin is not available for the Slayer class or the Aeromancer’s weapon. How to obtain the Time Together Skin Players who play on the Korean servers were able to get the Time Together skins for free, but if you are playing on the other servers, you need to purchase the skin with real money. To purchase the skin, open the in-game store and follow the given instructions to complete the purchase. Keep in mind that you may have to add a payment method to complete the purchase. Once the purchase is done, you will receive your Time Together skin cosmetic. Does the Time Together Skin offer any bonuses? Remember that any Lost Ark cosmetic, including the Time Together skin, does not provide your character with any bonuses or benefits. The objective of a skin, or a cosmetic, is to change the appearance of your character. Lost Ark players will therefore not receive any bonuses or buffs by purchasing and equipping the Time Together skin. However, it will change your character’s equipment and your weapons’ appearance. Do you have to purchase the Time Together skin? The purchase and use of a cosmetic item does not influence your progress in the game, which means that it is not mandatory to purchase the Time Together skin. Players who want to change the appearance of their weapons and armor could purchase the skin to alter their character’s looks. Keep in mind that there are some skins that you can procure for free in the game, but you may have to complete quests to obtain them.

Compost tea is a nutrient rich, beneficial food for your garden plants with materials right from your own kitchen, but how often should you feed your plants compost tea? Newly planted beds will benefit from twice-a-week feedings while established plants can only require weekly, biweekly, or monthly feedings depending on the plant’s nutrient requirements.Some plants do not fare well if supplied with too many nutrients such as nitrogen so these would most likely do better with biweekly or monthly feedings. On the other hand, other garden species need lots of nutrients and will thrive with weekly applications of compost tea. In this article, we will provide you with all you need to know about compost tea, how to make it, how to apply, when to apply it and much more. Your garden will thrive with this easy to make, nutrient rich food that plants can’t get enough of. Table of Contents How Do You Make Compost Tea? Compost tea is made from two simple ingredients: your kitchen food waste and water. Yes, it is that simple. Place the compost in a bag that will allow the nutrients to dissolve into the water. Most compost tea bags are made from silk, paper, or muslin. Allow the bag of compost to steep for three to seven days before use. To capitalize of even more nutrients for your garden plants, make sure to aerate your compost tea by adding a length of tubing which will allow oxygen to be in constant supply and encourage healthy microbes to inhabit your compost tea. You Might Try: There are also compost tea brewing kits available for purchase for a variety of manufacturers that may also aid the process. How Do You Apply Compost Tea? Once your compost tea has been steeped and is rich in nutrients, place the tea in a spray bottle. Apply the tea by spraying the foliage of the plants so that the leaves of your garden plants can absorb the nutrients. You can also spray the roots and soil at the base of your plants for maximum absorption. Another way to apply compost tea directly to the soil at the base of the plant is with drip irrigation. In this instance, it is best to dilute the compost tea so that your garden plants are not overfed. When Should You Apply Compost Tea? As with most manual waterings, compost tea should be applied in the morning before the sun climbs too high. This will prevent the tea from drying out and allow the plants to fully absorb the nutrients before the day gets too hot. Alternatively, compost tea can also be applied in the evening as long as the temperature has dropped below eighty degrees to avoid the issues mentioned above. Expert Advice: It is also best to apply compost tea on calm days because too much wind can take away the nutrients before the plant has a chance to absorb them. How Long Does Compost Tea Last? Compost tea can be kept for up to four to six days if stored in an opaque, airtight container. This will discourage any further decomposition by limiting oxygen and light that can further breakdown the nutrients in your compost tea. If you want your compost tea to last longer, it should be kept in a larger container and equipped with an aquarium oxygen pump connected to an air stone. The continuous aeration will allow microbes to stay alive and slow the rate of decomposition. Don’t Risk It: If you notice that your compost tea starts to smell rancid, it is probably going bad and should be thrown away rather than given to plants to avoid getting your plants sick. How Much Compost Tea Should I Feed My Plants? It can be hard to tell how much is too much when it comes to compost tea application but a good rule of thumb to follow is spraying your plant’s leaves until the droplets of liquid run off. If you’re applying directly to the soil through a watering can, instead of drip irrigation, most plants benefit from approximately half a gallon for every one thousand square feet of soil. It’s best to double check your specific plants nutrient needs, however, because some plants can be easily overfed and suffer from stunted growth or will not flower or fruit if too much nutrients are applied. What Are the Benefits of Compost Tea? Compost teas supply a lot of the same health benefits to your plants that compost does – although in a watered down version. Here are the main benefits: - It provides your garden plants with readily available nutrients needed for growth, increases the depths of your plants’ ability to root by extending root tendrils, and helps build your plants’ immune systems to fight off rot and diseases. - Compost tea has the added benefit of improving the water retention of your garden’s soil, allowing the need the need for watering to become less frequent. - It is also a very inexpensive way to feed your garden – all you need is water and the kitchen trash from produce, coffee grounds, and egg shells you were going to throw away anyway. - If used in conjunction with applying seasonal feedings of compost to the soil, compost tea can strengthen your garden’s ability to produce beautiful flowers and bountiful fruits for harvest. Time to Start Brewing Some Compost Tea Compost tea is a natural, effective, and inexpensive way to feed your garden plants and ensure that they grow and produce to the best of their abilities. Applications only need to occur on a weekly and sometimes biweekly or monthly basis so there’s no need to make tea every day. A batch of compost tea is ready for use after a few days to a week and can be kept, if stored properly, for four to six days. A simple thorough spray of the foliage or soil, drip irrigation, or drench watering can all provide the readily available nutrients compost tea contains to make your plants the healthiest they’ve ever been.

Blood Pressure 86/57 Blood pressure 86/57 - what does it mean? Your blood pressure reading of 86/57 indicates Hypotension. This means your blood pressure is lower than the usual with values at a systolic (upper) value under 105 mmHg and a diastolic (lower) value of under 60 mmHg. However, in most cases this is no reason to be concerned. If your blood pressure is only slightly under said values and there are no health impairments a hypotense blood pressure might be alright. What you should know about a blood pressure of 86/57 Low blood pressure rarely causes any severe symptoms, but some patients experience debilitating side effects. The recommended blood pressure reading for healthy adults is 90 (systolic) over 60 mm Hg (diastolic). Your blood pressure of 86/57 is below the recommended range and considered low blood pressure. Fainting episodes and dizzy spells are two common symptoms associated with dangerously low blood pressure or BP. This condition is known as hypotension and can have life-threatening consequences if left unchecked. Several health-related conditions and life events can cause BP levels to drop. In some cases, an underlying medical condition, surgical disorders, or dehydration might be responsible. - Poor concentration - Blurred vision If a patient experiences extreme hypotension, it can trigger symptoms such as palpitations, confusion, pale skin, and breathing difficulty. It is wise to seek medical attention if this happens because it can result in shock. How to raise blood pressure quickly? - Increase aggregate sodium intake. Table salt has a balanced amount of sodium content, which can help boost BP levels instantaneously. However, patients should consult their physician before adding more salt to the diet. High salt consumption can sometimes be dangerous and life-threatening. - Eat wholesome, well-balanced meals to maintain a healthy diet. Sometimes low BP is triggered by poor eating habits and nutrient deficiencies. A lack of iron, folic acid, and vitamin B- 12 is a leading cause of anemia. If the body is not making an adequate volume of blood, it could lower pressure levels. - Drink more water. Mild dehydration can lower blood pressure activity, which causes hypotension in extreme cases. Sometimes, sickness involving frequent vomiting, diarrhea, excess sweating, and fever may result in dehydration. In such circumstances, an adequate intake of water to rehydrate the body is necessary. For long-term benefits, those affected must maintain a healthy water drinking habit to stabilize low BP levels. What are some healthy lifestyle changes to improve low blood pressure long-term? Controlling low blood pressure naturally can sometimes be challenging, but equally doable with the right self-intervention measures. Numerous studies say regular exercise can have positive effects on cardiovascular health, which in turn can balance low blood pressure. However, individuals should avoid exercising in extreme heat and outdoors, especially during the summer months. Researchers also advise against prolonged rest and spending long hours in the steam room, sauna, or hot tub. Also, compression socks can improve blood flow throughout the body and boost blood pressure levels.

I learned a lot about who are the most helpful and nicest people when I was a missionary. The lesson applies directly to your job search. Who should you ask for help? Newly arrived as a missionary in Murcia, Spain I got to start teaching some of the richest people in the region. It was not due to me. My partner had been there for months and had started teaching one company president. He introduced us to other hard charging business leaders. Every single one of them was very nice to us. They listened politely and either sent us off with a referral or heartfelt thanks for talking with them. That was my first experience dealing with truly rich and powerful people. I found out that the people who can do the most for you are generally the nicest too. They help you even when they get nothing out of it. In this case they thought we were wrong but appreciated our enthusiasm, so they gave us what assistance they could. I liked it so much I looked for ways to call on business leaders in other cities. In Seville, Spain there is a small group of condominiums that are pretty nice. Many of them have a maid or a butler in a uniform straight out of the movies. They have some money, but are not rich. They appear well to do. They don’t lead or own companies. They are the ones who think appearances and posturing will get them promotions. Help someone lower than them? What a laughable thought! What’s in it for them? The people living there are the rudest people I met in Spain. And you know what? They aren’t going anywhere. The only place you get to the top by being cut-throat, mean, rude and despicable is in the movies. They got to where they were because many people helped them, but they had forgotten to help others. They were stuck, living lives of ostentatious desperation. That small enclave was the only place I met people like that in Spain. My conclusion may well have been off base about those particular people. However, I have noticed that the most helpful people rise to the top. So guess where I start my networking? Where do I go for help? To the top. That’s where the nicest people are. Something To Do Today Are you afraid to network with the people who can and will help you the most? Tomorrow: I really saw a crab do this! Later: How to network at the top.

Although a website is a very personal, individual thing, you’ll find that it’s easier to design and maintain a great one if you build strong ties to the online communities that share your interests. Even if you’re building a business site, you want to provide it with a distinctive voice that helps it stand apart from its competitors. In order to do these things, you need to take the pulse of the people who’ll be looking at your site, and here are some great ways to do that: A great website is not going to spring fully-formed from your forehead one morning. It takes plenty of preparation and background research to bring together the proper elements for a strong site. You can get the process started on the right foot by putting plenty of research time into the first part of your schedule. Don’t rush things; give yourself time to learn. The first things you’ll want to look at are the websites that are already out there devoted to your topic. This has plenty of benefits and you can pick up a great deal of helpful information. Whether you think of these websites as the competition or as your colleagues, you definitely don’t want to end up replicating one of them, either intentionally or inadvertently. There’s no way to be sure that you’re not re-crossing old ground until you take a look at what’s already been done. As you explore the field of websites out there, try to think about your topic holistically, i.e.; consider every aspect of it. If there is some particular niche or specialized angle that is being minimally addressed by the current crop of websites(or not addressed at all), you may have found the core to build your own site around. As long as you know that there are people who will be interested in it, laying claim to a niche is a great way to guarantee yourself an audience. You may be fortunate enough to come across online communities that are devoted to exactly the topic you want to build your site around. An Internet forum can be a great place to gather ideas from the people that would be most interested in your site. You’ll have a tremendous opportunity to get to know your audience in advance if you devote some time to contributing to an appropriate forum. If you’re having difficulty finding the right place for your website in the online community, consider turning away from the computer screen. Check out your subject from a real-world, local perspective instead. Talk your ideas over with friends, relatives, and business associates in order to do a little brainstorming. Because this is a step that many website owners neglect, it can produce some of the most promising ideas. You want your website to stand out, and that’s a good goal to have. Unless you devote some careful research to the crowd you want to stand out of, though, you’ll never be sure if you’re standing out in a good way. If you keep this article’s advice in mind, you’ll be able to use your research time more efficiently and get the information you need as quickly as possible.

The Middle East and African (MENA) oil and gas pipelines sector has been impacted due to low oil prices and weak demand as a result of COVID-19. The pandemic has affected the progress of several projects, forcing operators to opt for alternative strategies such as delaying project completion or reducing capital expenditures. While these approaches may provide a temporary solution, MENA operators should look to adopt more robust strategies such as focusing more on remote operations through automation and digitalization or having contingency plans to ensure minimal impact on critical operations, to bail them out of any such future crisis, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Haseeb Ahmed, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “One of the primary strategies that a majority of pipeline operators have been falling back on, is to halt or delay any avoidable current or upcoming projects. With uncertainty looming large on the prospective projects, pipeline companies are compelled to make tough decisions to keep the operations running.” The contractor of the Niger-Benin pipeline has halted all construction activities pertaining to the project. It is unclear when the project might start commercial operations. On similar lines, construction work on the 272 km South Pars Phase 11 (I & II) pipelines has been delayed due to COVID-19. This is likely to push the start year of the project by a year to 2023. Besides stalling or delaying project progress, pipeline companies in the region are seeking financial assistance or reducing capital expenditures. The Algerian state-owned pipeline company, Sonatrach is in discussion with foreign investors for funds to carry out its upcoming projects. Saudi Aramco, on the other hand, is adopting the strategy of reducing capex by nearly 26% for the year 2020. Ahmed concludes: “The oil and gas pipeline sector might potentially be rife with consolidations, as the current crisis could push small and medium-sized companies to the brink of extinction. Although pipeline companies are making enormous efforts to tide over the current situation, it might take longer to recoup, given the recurring nature of the pandemic and its scale of the impact on the oil and gas sector.”

Often as vulnerable in tone as any of the actual lyrics in the songs they’re featured in are, the strings we find in the new record from Ranzel X Kendrick, Alias Wayne’s Fubar, are a crucial element of communication that is inarguably at the foundation of every stitch of material presented in this four-song tracklist from the acclaimed singer/songwriter and experimentalist. From “Love One Another” to the driven “Window of My Soul,” patient near-instrumental “Eight Ball in the Corner Pocket” and sprawling “Father Song,” their compositional fabric is a quintessential component of our understanding the deeper narrative Kendrick is trying to convey beneath the layers of poeticisms and pastoral harmonies. The lyrics are a lot more enigmatic in Fubar than they have been in past affairs produced by this artist, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that they make moving numbers like “Father Song” any less relatable (especially from an emotional point of view). “Eight Ball in the Corner Pocket” puts as much stock into its melodicism as it does its seemingly absent verse, and to be perfectly honest, I think that it surpasses the more lyrical songs here in terms of creative experimentalism because of its tremendous duality, and its deceptively simple structure. Despite the stripped-down nature of the arrangements Fubar is boasting in its “Love One Another” and “Window of My Soul,” I think that both of these songs – and the EP as a whole – have a couple of profoundly cerebral moments that impact the feel of the music overall. I get the impression that Kendrick is wanting to explore his sonic depth a little more in this record, and although there’s a case to be made that he and his cast of players are taking much smaller steps than when they need to in this instance, I can also understand why he’d want to play it safe (after all, their contemporaries haven’t had the best results when it comes to this kind of experimentation). Its high-definition production quality aside, the textural grit in “Father Song” speaks to the raw intensity that Alias Wayne is still bringing into the studio with him every time he decides to record new music, which is a lot more than I can say for about some of his closest rivals – especially in recent times. He isn’t varnishing over anything as much as he’s sanding down the angularities in his compositional style, which as I see it is something to be critically commended rather than discouraged. Alias Wayne submits an intriguing, albeit frankly emotive indie offering in the fascinating Fubar that I have a feeling audiences are going to respond quite well to this spring season. As the wet months prepare to disappear in favor of the summer heat taking their place, I’ve found that there are a lot of artists – Kendrick included – touching on new ground with their work, perhaps in hopes of inspiring interest in an emergent era in music still yet to be heard. I’ll be paying attention to this man’s catalog from here on out, and after checking out Fubar, I think there is a good chance that you will likely be doing the same.

For a pill that costs just pennies per dose, aspirin can do an awful lot. It prevents heart attack and stroke in people with a history of cardiovascular events. It’s recommended for angina and heart attack patients as soon as they arrive at the hospital. It may lower risk of colon and other types of cancer. And, yes, it’s good for the occasional aches and pains, too. So it’s no wonder that in recent years, some health experts have been wondering whether everyone, whether or not they have heart troubles or headaches, should be taking low-dose aspirin as a preventive for some chronic illnesses. But the evidence doesn’t seem to support that idea, including a new review of nine clinical trials, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The study shows that aspirin does reduce the risk of heart attack in middle-aged adults without known heart disease, but that those benefits are “modest,” according to the study authors. The review showed that aspirin appeared to confer no protection against stroke or fatal heart attack, and the limited benefits against non-fatal heart attack were offset by relatively rare but dangerous side effects. Aspirin helps to prevent heart attacks by preventing blood clots from forming, which can impede blood flow to the heart and brain. Recent studies also hint that it works to lower inflammation, which not only inhibits clot formation, but may protect unstable plaques in heart vessels from rupturing. Unfortunately, however, limited blood clotting can be dangerous as well. People who take a regular aspirin appear to be at increased risk of internal bleeding, which in some cases can be life-threatening. The new study in Archives is the largest of its kind to date. It includes nine clinical trials which together involve more than 100,000 study participants from a number of developed countries. In each of the nine trials, participants were randomly assigned either to take a daily aspirin or to take a placebo. On average, the aspirin-takers took their pills for six years. The analysis finds that, on average among the trials, one cardiovascular disease event was averted for every 120 people who took a daily aspirin. But there was one “nontrivial bleeding event” for every 73 people on the daily aspirin regimen. And the researchers found no significant difference in mortality between the aspirin groups and the placebo groups. Because more people were likely to experience a bleeding episode than be protected from a heart-related event, the study authors conclude: “routine use of aspirin for primary prevention is not warranted and treatment decisions need to be considered on a case-by-case basis.” For most people, the benefits of a daily aspirin simply don’t outweigh the risks. That’s not the case for people who have already suffered heart attack or stroke, however. This new study did not look at those individuals, since that benefit has been well documented in other studies. The bigger debate in recent years has been the effect of aspirin on adults without known cardiovascular problems. In a separate statement to the public, lead researcher Rao Seshasai said: The beneficial effect of aspirin on preventing future cardiovascular disease events in people with established heart attacks or strokes is indisputable. We urge people with these conditions not to discontinue their medication unless advised to do so by their physicians for valid reasons. For everyone else, it’s back to basics if you want to protect yourself from heart disease — eat a low-fat, low-sodium diet, and get enough exercise to get your heart pumping. And no, you can’t get that in a pill.

Williams AV has you covered with the Digi-Wave 400, a full duplex portable, wireless 2-way, system for short range communication. The Digi-Wave is ideal for social distancing in a variety of applications including teaching, training, and interpreting. It can also be used in courtrooms, classrooms, hospitals, restaurants and warehouses. In addition, the Digi-Wave400 is a cost-effective alternative to other expensive 2-way radios. The Digi-Wave 400 system is a digital spread-spectrum (DSS), simultaneous two-way wireless communication system. The system makes hearing easier in everyday situations by reducing background noise and compensating for poor room acoustics or distance from the sound source. Its frequency-hopping algorithm avoids interference and is a very secure method of communication. Every Digi-Wave System includes at least one two-way transceiver (DLT 400) and one or more receivers (DLR 400 RCH or DLR 400 ALK), depending upon the application. The system is commonly used for intercom, with up to six people able to speak simultaneously and even more listening. It's also ideal as a human interpretation system that supports one floor language and up to 14 translated languages. Digi-Wave systems are also frequently used with guided tours - with one or more tour guides (2-way), with audience participation (2-way) or without audience participation (1-way listen only).

Intense devotion to ones guru and faithful adherence to his teachings are the most essential qualifications of true discipleship. It is this shraddha, faith, and gurubhakti, devotion to guru, that bring about rapid spiritual progress and fruition of ones sadhana. A disciple without devotion to his guru is like a flower without fragrance, a well without water, a cow without milk or a body without life. A true aspirant rejoices in the practice of guru bhakti yoga. Without taking recourse to this yoga one cannot practise the other yogas. Whatever may be acquired by asceticism, renunciation, charity, auspicious acts or by other yogas, all these are speedily acquired by practising guru bhakti yoga. It is the magic wand in the hands of the disciple to cross the ocean of samsara. Guru bhakti will make possible all that is impossible; the unattainable can be attained by guru bhakti. However, this treasure is not acquired in a day. Guru bhakti is not a system that can be taught by lectures or correspondence courses. The disciple has to cultivate it gradually and painstakingly. He must increase it day by day. It develops through constant and earnest prayer in the secret chamber of the heart. The student should live under a preceptor for many years and lead a rigorous life of austerity, discipline, celibacy and deep meditation. He must make himself perfectly blind to the human aspects of the guru. Then he will develop true guru bhakti. Just as there are nine forms of bhakti, there are also nine aspects of guru bhakti yoga: Deification of the guru is a mysterious and powerful method of obtaining his grace. When you deify him, you see only the storehouse of perfection in him. Even if you cannot understand his actions, do not misunderstand them. Be humble and silent. Wait patiently. Eventually you will be rewarded with light. Shraddha or faith is that power which sustains the aspirant on the path towards perfection. It supports him during tests and trials, temptations and pitfalls and in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Therefore, always keep alive your shraddha and bhakti in your gurudeva. Let your faith be unsullied and staunch. Your efforts to attain the true goal of life will be crowned with success. The aspirant, before he desires the grace of the master, should deserve it. The supply of divine grace comes only when he is fit to receive it. Gurus grace descends upon those who feel utterly humble and faithful to him. Faith is confidence and trust in guru. Faith is firm conviction of the truth of what is declared by the preceptor by way either of testimony or authority, without any other evidence or proof. The disciple who has faith in the guru argues not, thinks not, reasons not and cogitates not. He simply obeys, obeys and obeys. Once Sri Shankaracharya wanted to test the devotion of his disciple Padmapada. The river Kaveri was in flood. Sri Shankara was standing on one bank of the river and Padmapada was standing on the other bank. Sri Shankara beckoned Padmapada to come to him immediately. There was no boat. Padmapada did not care, he at once jumped into the river even though he did not know how to swim. This is real devotion. Through the grace of Shankaracharya, Padmapada walked quite easily on the river. At each step a lotus flower appeared. This is how he got the name Padmapada, which means lotus in the feet. Devotion to guru trains your heart and prepares for devotion to God. Guru bhakti draws down the grace of the preceptor and ultimately bestows illumination and bliss. Die at the lotus feet of guru, give up your ego and die, only so you may live again the true divine life. Life is no life if not enlivened and made divine by the transforming grace of guru. If you want to drink the spiritual nectar of immortality which flows from the holy lips of the guru, you will have to be an embodiment of humility and meekness. The lower nature of mind must be thoroughly transformed. The aspirant says to his preceptor: I want to practise yoga. I want to enter into nirvikalpa samadhi. I want to sit at your feet. I have surrendered myself to you. But he does not want to change his lower nature and habits, old character, behaviour and conduct. Let the disciples first lesson be obedience to guru. The disciple has to serve the guru and do everything the guru commands without grudging and without using his intellect. When the guru gives an order, the disciple should obey implicitly. Such obedience to guru is necessary. This is the spirit of nishkama karma, karma done not for the pleasure of the person doing it but because it is the holy command of the preceptor. Then only the impurities of the mind such as kama, passion, krodha, anger and lobha, greed, are destroyed. Ones individual ego, preconceived notions, pet ideas and prejudices and selfish interests should be given up. All these stand in the way of carrying out the teachings and instructions of ones guru. If you want to be a true disciple, you should follow the instructions of your guru to the very letter and spirit. If you make a promise to your guru, you should fulfil it even at the cost of your life. If you fail to ask the wise what you know not, you will remain a dunce throughout your life. Sit at the lotus feet of your guru with bhava and faith. Serve him with sincerity, humility and love. Prostrate before him morning and evening. Clear your doubts. Hear the shrutis from him. Reflect. Meditate. Behold the supreme, transcendental light of lights. Drink deep the wisdom-nectar and attain immortality. The best way you can express your real adoration to the preceptor is to actually emulate his noble example. Have him as your ideal. Struggle to build yourself upon that model. This will be the most effective puja of your guru and the most pleasing guru dakshina. Once a saint, in order to test his disciple, ordered him to shampoo his waist by his feet. The saint said, My waist is paining. Will you, my dear disciple, shampoo it with your feet? The disciple said, Maharaj! How am I to put my feet on your holy person? That is a great sin. The saint replied, But are you not, in thus disobeying me, putting your feet on my tongue? One should learn a lesson from this example. The disciple should not exercise his intellect in carrying out the orders of his guru. He should discard impertinence and develop true and lasting devotion. One should serve a saint in every way, serve him physically, meditate on him, carry out his orders without delay, try to serve his mission, and so forth. One should have unflinching faith. Mysterious are the ways of a saint. The services that he takes from you are for your own benefit. He himself wants nothing. By giving various orders and testing you in various ways, he makes you a fit vessel for the reception of enlightenment.

One of the main benefits of LED sports lighting is its energy efficiency. LED lights use significantly less energy compared to traditional lighting sources such as incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. This energy efficiency not only helps to reduce electricity bills but also contributes to a greener environment by reducing carbon emissions. To discover more and complementary information about the subject discussed, we dedicate ourselves to offering a rewarding learning journey. LED Sports Lighting https://sportsbeams.com! LED lights convert almost all the electrical energy into lighting, minimizing wasted energy as heat. This efficiency allows sports facilities to illuminate their fields or courts with less power consumption. Additionally, LED lights have a longer lifespan, reducing maintenance costs and the need for frequent replacements. LED sports lighting offers superior visibility compared to conventional lighting sources. LEDs produce a bright and clear light that provides better illumination of the playing surface. This enhanced visibility is crucial for both players and spectators, as it allows for better accuracy, judgment, and overall performance. LED lights have a high color rendering index (CRI), which means they display colors more accurately and vividly. This is especially important in sports where visual cues and distinguishing between colors are essential, such as football, baseball, or tennis. With LED sports lighting, players can see the ball more clearly, making it easier to track and react to its movement. Flexible Lighting Control LED sports lighting systems offer flexible lighting control options that allow for customization and optimization of the lighting conditions. Sports facilities can adjust the brightness, color temperature, and even create dynamic lighting effects to enhance the game experience. LED lights can be dimmed or brightened instantly, unlike traditional lighting sources that require warm-up or cool-down periods. This feature allows for precise lighting adjustments during different parts of the game, adapting to specific needs and requirements. For example, dimming the lights during halftime can create a more intimate and focused atmosphere for speeches or performances. Enhanced Player Safety LED sports lighting also contributes to enhanced player safety on the field or court. The improved visibility provided by LED lights helps players accurately assess the playing surface and potential hazards, reducing the risk of injuries. LED lights also have better directional control, which means they can be directed specifically where the light is needed, minimizing glare and shadows. Glare reduction is particularly crucial for sports like basketball or soccer, where players need to have clear visibility without being blinded by excessive brightness. While the initial cost of installing LED sports lighting systems may be higher compared to traditional lighting, the long-term cost savings make it a worthwhile investment. LED lights have a significantly longer lifespan, lasting up to 50,000 hours or more. This means fewer replacements and reduced maintenance costs in the long run. LED lights also have lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional lighting. They do not have fragile filaments or tubes that can break easily, and they are more resistant to impacts, vibrations, and harsh weather conditions. This durability results in fewer repairs and replacements, saving sports facilities both time and money. Furthermore, LED lights are compatible with smart lighting technology, allowing for advanced energy management and automation. Sports facilities can use sensors and timers to control the lighting based on occupancy, schedule, or natural light conditions, further optimizing energy usage and reducing costs. LED sports lighting offers numerous benefits to sports facilities, athletes, and spectators. From energy efficiency and improved visibility to flexible lighting control and cost savings, LED lights provide a superior lighting solution for sports events. As technology advances, the future of LED sports lighting holds even more exciting possibilities, including advancements in smart lighting control, further enhancing the overall sports experience.

A challenge to youth leaders to pray Have you understood the value God places on those in your care? The secret to getting committed to the young people in your group - and the leaders you work with - is to remind yourself of their immense value to God, and to you. “The excuse maker” in all of us will try to dilute the sense of value we place on those in our care. We tell ourselves, “You’re doin' great just how you are!” or the other classic line, “Compared to some people, you’re not that bad”. That line of thinking stinks because it avoids the true value of the person in order to make our own ride easier. It gives us the excuse we are looking for to slow down, take a nap, let those other folks take care of themselves. Commiting to pray On our Youth Ministry Team we made the commitment to pray personally for individual young people and for the ministering leaders we serve with. We did this to deliberately drown out our "excuse maker" and, instead, listen to God’s passion for us to commit our FIRST effort (not leftovers) to young people who come to belong, learn and reach out to God! Excuses become irrelevant when the special and unique "shape" of each leader on your ministry team is seen as God’s PLACEMENT and gift to the team. Would you “diss” any other good thing God brought into your life or youth group? Leaders are imperfect but valuable gifts from God to enrich and equip your team to do the work he’s planned in your place and time. So guard the leaders from your own excuses by remembering their God-appointed place of importance. The privilege of prayer In the earliest days, God’s people Israel found they were unique among the very different nations they lived near. They had the privilege of walking CLOSELY with a mighty God. So they were encouraged not to “do the minimum” or to “do what you can and be happy with that”. They understood how great it was to walk with God: What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him? (Deuteronomy 4:7) The privilege of having a close relationship with God through prayer is so enormous. It is amazing that God would share our concerns as we bring them to him. We must reclaim our time and make the most of our privilege of praying for our youth and fellow leaders. My callenge to youth leaders So, let me ask you to put two "items" on your agenda today (however full it is): 1. Pick THREE young people who you know need a relationship with Christ or a BETTER relationship with Christ. Pray for all three, each day, for the next seven days. 2. Pick ONE guy and ONE girl leader from the youth ministry team. Pray for each one, in the same pattern as step 1. Can you commit to that? You know you can.

- NetBSD Manual Pages GETPEERNAME(2) NetBSD System Calls Manual GETPEERNAME(2) Powered by man-cgi (2021-06-01). Maintained for NetBSD by Kimmo Suominen. Based on man-cgi by Panagiotis Christias. getpeername -- get name of connected peer Standard C Library (libc, -lc) getpeername(int s, struct sockaddr * restrict name, socklen_t * restrict namelen); The getpeername() function returns the name of the peer connected to the socket s. One common use occurs when a process inherits an open socket, such as TCP servers forked from inetd(8). In this scenario, getpeername() is used to determine the connecting client's IP address. The function takes three parameters: s contains the file descriptor of the socket whose peer should be looked up. name points to a sockaddr structure that will hold the address information for the connected peer. Normal use requires one to use a structure specific to the protocol family in use, such as sockaddr_in (IPv4) or sockaddr_in6 (IPv6), cast to a (struct sockaddr *). For greater portability, especially with the newer proto- col families, the new struct sockaddr_storage should be used. sockaddr_storage is large enough to hold any of the other sockaddr_* variants. On return, it can be cast to the correct sockaddr type, based on the protocol family contained in its ss_family field. namelen indicates the amount of space pointed to by name, in If address information for the local end of the socket is required, the getsockname(2) function should be used instead. If name does not point to enough space to hold the entire socket address, the result will be truncated to namelen bytes. If the call succeeds, a 0 is returned and namelen is set to the actual size of the socket address returned in name. Otherwise, errno is set and a value of -1 is returned. The call succeeds unless: [EBADF] The argument s is not a valid descriptor. [EFAULT] The name parameter points to memory not in a valid part of the process address space. [ENOBUFS] Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation. [ENOTCONN] The socket is not connected. [ENOTSOCK] The argument s is a file, not a socket. accept(2), bind(2), getsockname(2), socket(2) The function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1''). The getpeername() function call appeared in 4.2BSD. NetBSD 10.99 June 3, 2011 NetBSD 10.99

You’ll find that these minimalist drawings are my favorite way to capture the essence of a home. I love the idea of the “drawing in a second” and using the bare minimum of materials to make an image. I love minimalist drawing because it can be so simple and yet so effective. A minimalist drawing is a drawing that doesn’t use a lot of layers of color, as in the above image. Instead, I like to use a lot of white space. I also like a minimalist drawing to have a sense of form. A minimalist drawing can include details that aren’t really there in the drawing. I think that a minimalist drawing can be very effective. The problem is the color, and the way this color is applied to the image, the color of the background, and the color of the foreground. The problem is that each canvas layer makes the image look like it’s being made from a different color. You can’t just change the color of the background from green to blue. You have to look at the background and color and apply it. It’s all about using a little color and using a little math. This is why you should have a good eye and a good mind for color. I’ve never tried to draw but I have a lot of experience with color theory. I’ve seen a lot of excellent minimalist images and drawings and I’ve gotten a lot of practice from applying the color theory in designing a good image. If you’ve been drawing since you were a kid, you know that there’s a big difference between drawing a picture and creating a drawing. When you create a drawing you have to put your pencil to paper and work out how to paint a picture. But when you draw a picture you just take a picture and work with it for a while. You do have to work a little, but not too much. A good drawing is like a good song or a good movie or a good song. A good drawing is like a good song or a good movie or a good song. This is an important point. A good drawing is like a good song or a good movie or a good song. You use your imagination and your creativity to come up with something that is unique. You may not like the result, but that doesn’t matter. You have a point. Some things are more important than what you like, but they’re not less important. Some people think that a good drawing is just a good drawing, but that is a little over-simplifying the matter. It depends on what you mean by a good drawing. The definition that I use is: A drawing that has the quality of a good, beautiful picture, and that is at the same time an exact representation of the original. Some people say that “beautiful” is the last word in the world of art, but that statement is probably based on the last word in the world of art. Some people do not like the way my drawings look, and that’s okay. That’s not what I’m saying, by the way. What I’m saying is that a good drawing should have the quality of beauty and not just the quality of a good drawing. The more I’ve seen that a good drawing looks like a good picture, the more I’ve come to believe. The more I’ve seen that a good drawing looks like a big, deep, beautiful picture, the more I’ve come to believe that that is a good picture.

Warmsculpting in Kenosha Junith M. Thompson, M.D. SC Fat Reduction Warmsculpting in Kenosha Wanting to learn more about warmsculpting in Kenosha? Here at Affordable Beauty, we are dedicated to helping people reach and maintain their weight loss goals in a safe manner to optimize overall health. However, we recognize that even with diligent diet and exercise, you may still be left with stubborn areas of fat that you just cannot get rid of. When your efforts don’t provide the final results you want, it can be frustrating. When you are ready for warm sculpting in Kenosha, SculpSure is the solution. It provides safe, non-invasive laser treatment to remove stubborn remaining fat and can give you a body that reflects your hard work and effort. The most commonly treated areas are the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, “love handles” and back. An attachment to the SculpSure body contouring system can also target fat under the chin, resulting in a more contoured, defined jawline. Contact us today to set up an appointment! Warmsculpting in Kenosha: How It Works In 25 minutes, this completely non-invasive, laser-based body contouring procedure is designed to destroy stubborn fat cells. Using controlled hyperthermic technology, the fat cells undergo temperature injury from the targeted laser energy, which passes 1060-nm diode laser light through the skin and elevates adipose tissue (fat) to a temperature between 108 and 117 degrees Fahrenheit, the optimal temperature for fat cell destruction. While the laser is delivering heat to the fat cells, the skin is kept cool and protected by the sapphire surface of the laser delivery system. SculpSure safely treats all skin types from very fair to very dark, without risk of hypo or hyperpigmentation. Once the fat cells die, the immune system clears the body of the dead cells, thereby shrinking the treatment area. SculpSure’s unique applicators can be arranged to create custom placement, to best treat the patient’s requested areas of concern. While lying down, the applicators are on top of the skin, as energy penetrates into the fat tissue. Clinical studies examining before and after ultrasound measurements found up to a 24% average reduction of adipose tissue after a single treatment. Some patients report a tingling or burning sensation during the procedure, so we monitor and communicate closely with the patient throughout the treatment to adjust and ensure patient comfort. Right afterwards, our patients can return to their normal daily activities. If you have struggled to reduce that last bit of fat and just can’t seem to, consider non-invasive SculpSure treatment. A 25 minute treatment can provide you a slimmer silhouette. We are proud to offer this at Affordable Beauty. Frequently Asked Questions SculpSure is not a weight loss treatment, but is meant to spot reduce areas of stubborn fat. Because the procedure is safe and non-invasive, there are few contraindications besides pregnancy, breastfeeding and an open skin lesion or rash. Most areas require two sessions spaced apart by about 6 weeks. Each session removes up to 24% of fat in the targeted treatment areas. Some patients choose to treat more than one treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as deep warmth and tingling, which is well tolerated. The intensity of the treatment is adjusted for each patient’s comfort level. Although the treatment damages fat cells immediately, it takes your body time to flush them from your system. For this reason, the earliest results are generally seen approximately 6 weeks after treatment with final results achieved around 12 weeks after the procedure. SculpSure is non-invasive, safe and comfortable and is administered without anesthesia, which means you can return to work immediately following the treatment. Some people receive SculpSure on their lunch break and miss no work time at all. Patients are able to continue their daily routine, including exercising that day.

Rep. Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont), Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, greeted yesterday’s acquittal of Attorney General Ken Paxton with a very public, very bitter lament. He ended with what sounded like a threat to pursue Paxton in other ways. But other members of the Texas State House renewed calls for Phelan to step down from his Speakership. A Texas sized donnybrook In May 2023, Phelan presided over a House that voted 121-23 to impeach Paxton on several financial corruption charges. At issue was his friendship with Nate Paul, who frequently supports Paxton’s reelection campaigns financially. Charges varied from acceptance of improper gifts to finding a job for Paul’s wife. Perhaps the most serious charges alleged misappropriation of State taxpayer funds. But Ryan Vassar, formerly a Deputy Attorney General, had no evidence for his charges, either for the FBI in Fall of 2020 or before the Texas Senate over the eleven-day trial. Accordingly, the Senate acquitted Paxton, 16-14 with one abstention. (Angela Paxton, Ken Paxton’s wife, also serves as a State Senator, so she had no vote.) X user DC Draino named the two Republican Senators who joined the twelve Democrats in voting to convict. (It would have taken twenty or twenty-one Senators to convict Paxton in any case.) Paxton thanked his supporters, including his wife, and also warned the Biden Administration that he, now that he can resume the powers and duties of his office, would be pursuing that Administration in the federal courts. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) also expressed his support and his eagerness to work with Paxton on several pending legal cases. (Texas faces a lawsuit over the ballards, interspersed with serrated-edged disks, they have strung along part of the Rio Grande.) A RINO’s lament But Dade Phelan bitterly accused the Senate, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, of “cheating the people of Texas of justice.” He then darkly hinted that Paxton faces “multiple other lawsuits, indictments, and investigations.” The “drunk jackass” remark refers to an incident, also in May, in which Phelan tried to speak, and slurred his words. Several of his colleagues, and Attorney General Paxton, called on him to resign even then. And they are calling on him to resign now. Rep. Brian Harrison (R-Nacogdoches), who voted against impeachment, accused Phelan and other Republican leaders of betraying the Party, collaborating with Democrats, pressuring Republicans to vote for impeachment, and bringing the Texas House into disrepute. In fact, he has called for the State Auditor to investigate the total cost of the impeachment process. The next generation is on the line; with every freedom and liberty being eroded. Yet instead of securing the border, passing school choice, banning COVID mandates, fixing our grid and energy market, reining in emergency executive powers, cutting spending, ending property taxes, deregulating our economy, or stopping communist governments from buying Texas land, the Speaker of the House prioritized the impeachment of a recently re-elected Attorney General who has proven he is up to the most important task of our time: fighting the out of control federal government, which seeks to destroy our rights, our freedoms, our liberties, our state sovereignty, and the Constitution. Harrison also has a bone to pick with Phelan for appointing Democrats to chair key committees. Almost no other majority leader or other presiding officer awards chairmanships to the minority.

High Impact Leadership is a five-day programme delivered over two modules. Module one (2 days) explores the areas of leading self. Module two (3 days) focuses on leading people and the business. Participants will be required to complete a series of pre and post work exercises and activities for both modules. These will include psychometric questionnaires and reflecting analysis. The pre and post work are critical elements of the overall programme and are mandatory requirements. On module one participants will explore the leadership competencies and qualities required across a range of leadership roles/situations. Participants will define what being a leader means and what is required. Participants will assess their own styles and competencies against the criteria identified for leadership and leadership situations. Participants will also explore their level and control of emotional intelligence. On day two of module one the participants will work with professional actors and business coaches to explore and improve their personal presence and impact. The actors and business coaches will work with each individual to refine and hone their personal brand and image. Module two will cover communications, leading teams, strategy and change. On day one participants will draw on the learning from module one to refine their communications through effective influencing, body language and communication channels throughout the workplace. Day two will explore strategy and change from a leadership perspective. Participants will learn a range of strategic tools and models for leading teams and businesses through a range of situations. Participants will apply a range of strategic analysis tools to their own business and develop a strategic blueprint for the business. Participants will also examine what it means to lead through change. Participants will learn how to create a sense of urgency around change, communicate change effectively to win the hearts and minds of employees and stakeholders and how to make sure the change is delivered effectively. Finally on day three the participants will explore the role of leading teams. Participants will be challenged to bring all of their learning together in a simulated environment where their leadership skills will be constantly assessed while leading a team through complex and challenging situations. - Being a leader and what that really means - The required competencies and qualities for leadership situations - Leadership styles and flexibility - Refining your emotional intelligence - Personal presence and impact - Personal branding and image - Leading teams effectively - Communicating for performance - Winning the hearts and minds of staff Leading the Business - Exploring strategy and strategic options - Analysing the business effectively - Leading change effectively - Explore and assess their personal leadership qualities - Define and compare competencies for a range of leadership situations - Identify and select from a range of leadership styles to fit the situation - Manage responses to emotions more effectively - Manage interpersonal behaviours more effectively - Build a personal brand and image that promotes their desired qualities and competencies - Increase presence and impact when communicating - Analyse the business/function through strategic tools and processes - Define a strategic plan building on core competencies and business needs - Create a sense of urgency in relation to needed change activities and situations - Manage and communicate change as a leader - Win the hearts and minds of staff through communication and connection - Lead teams towards successes even in difficult times - Motivate self and others to overcome challenges and embrace opportunities - Use work place communications channels more effectively to deliver information Who should attend? - Senior Managers developing their leadership skills people who chose this course also viewed This is a very tailored course that gave great insight into individual negotiating styles as well as giving very helpful techniques.

Television or film productions of books – especially your favourite novels – can be disappointing. There are bad – even appalling – productions of Jane Austen’s novels. I am not too keen on the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice that appears to be the favourite of most Jane Austen lovers. Colin Firth’s Darcy is not the Darcy of the novel, and Mr Collins is such a farcical caricature of the novel’s clergyman that all the satire of Austen’s pompous hypocritical cleric is lost. That’s to start with. In the class of the appalling, I put the 2008 production of Persuasion, my favourite Austen novel. Whatever possessed the screenwriter to change a crucial part of the story is beyond me. On the other hand, the most recent production of Sense and Sensibility (2008) with with Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood is the best production of any of Jane Austen novels. It is very true to the novel. Hattie Morahan’s performance is pitch perfect. I have recently been introduced to Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels. I find them almost as good and engaging as Jane Austen’s – at least the two I have so far read: Cranford and North and South. The television productions of these two books are first class, although Cranford is actually a combination of the novellas Cranford, Mr Harrison’s Confessions, and My Lady Ludlow. I’m tempted to say that the television production of North and South (2004) is even better than the novel in bringing out the intense relationship between leads Margaret Hale played Daniela Denby-Ashe, and John Thornton played by Richard Armitage. Richard Armitage said in an interview the part was one of a lifetime. Indeed, he played it as one of a lifetime – a rough. smouldering, tormented mill owner who finds it difficult to control his passion for the cultivated girl from Hampshire who rejects him. Below is the link to a review on the tenth anniversary of the production: Postscript: It has nothing to do with the quality of the production, but Daniela Denby-Ashe has the most perfectly formed lips of any actress I have seen. The opening scenes display them in mesmerising closeup. I’m sure the producers knew what they were doing here. The reviewer claims the kiss at the end was the best television kiss ever. Women sent the BBC switchboard into meltdown. I was not particularly moved by the scene, although I imagine Daniela Denby-Ashe’s lips were an important motivation for Richard Armitage.

I have bought a car! If you are in the Bay Area you better watch out.. Not only because Santa Claus is coming to town but even more so because there is now a blue 2007 Honda Civic roaming the streets with a crazy Swede behind the wheel! The process of buying the car started with me signing up for Stanford Federal Credit Union, as I told about in a previous post. They would give me an auto loan even though I have no US credit history what so ever. At a higher interest rate than otherwise of course. But if I could make a down payment of at least 30% the rate would not be that much higher than a normal US citizen would get. The credit union also had an “auto finding service” where they had contact with several dealers and hopefully could make a good deal. If I used that I would also get a slightly lower interest rate. I’m sure that I could get an even better deal if I knew a lot about cars, the used car market and was a kick ass negotiator. But I decided to use that service. So I filled out a form of what kind of car what I was interested in. After a phone call with Debbie that was running the auto finding service I was given the home work of going to test drive some cars to find out what type of car I actually was interested in. Apparently my rather generic requests of “good economy”, “comfortable” and “four wheels” were not good enough. I needed to come up with one ore two specific models that we could go look for. So after some test driving I decided that a Honda Civic would be a good car for me. Like most Japanese cars the reselling value is pretty good and it has a good size. It’s also one of the most sold cars in USA so there should be plenty of 3-4 year old cars on the market. So back to Debbie to find me a good deal for a Honda Civic with manual transmission. Unlike Sweden automatic transmission is much more common here. But I like driving with changing gears myself and I don’t want to forget how to drive like that. Unfortunately Debbie couldn’t find any Civic with manual transmission.. I had to tell her that the place where I had test driven the Civic were announcing two 2007 cars with manual transmission on their web site. (One of them was the car I had actually tested.) She contacted them and got a deal for one of them that was a little bit under the price announced on the web site. And it was the very car I had tested before. So on Tuesday I went to Anderson Honda in Palo Alto to buy a car! When I got there I met up with a seasoned car salesman named Jack. A really nice guy but still a car salesman.. We started with me taking a closer look at the car I was about to buy. I walked around it and inspected it, trying to look as if I knew what I was doing. Then I sat down behind the wheel and made it very obvious that I didn’t really know what you’re supposed to do when inspecting a car. I turned on the radio, fiddled with some knobs and then got out of the car again. Since I had driven it a couple of days earlier I didn’t ask to take it for a ride. We went inside to do all the paperwork and I got to see the Carfax papers (a history of the car, services, accidents etc), the service report and the 1 month warranty. Then they ran a credit report on me and it turned out that I wouldn’t be able to drive away with the car that day. With no credit score you can’t be trusted. They wanted to be paid in full with a check from the credit union before releasing the car to me. To complicate things even more the amount on the check for the down payment that I had given to Anderson Honda was not enough to be a 30% down payment. I had told Jack that I wanted to make at least 30% down payment and he calculated how much that would be. But 30% down payment means financing at most 70% of the cars value. And this doesn’t include sales tax, registration fee and such things. He had just taken 30% of the total sum. So either I would have to write another check to Anderson Honda and rewrite the sales contract. Or I would write a check to the credit union and they would make the check to Anderson Honda big enough. So two day later a person came out to me at Google twice. First in the morning to pick up my extra check and for me to sign the loan agreement and then again in the afternoon to give me the check to give to Anderson Honda. Then after work Jack came and picked me up and took me to Palo Alto. There I could finally drive away with my car and introduce it to it’s new home. (My parking space outside the apartment.)

The Cubs entered Sunday’s series finale in Baltimore looking for their first road sweep of 2017. Thanks to suddenly red hot offense and a new addition on the mound, it turned out to be a piece of crab cake. Jose Quintana looked very good in his debut in a Chicago uniform. The Colombian lefty retired the first nine batters he faced, striking out five of them. Former Rockies stud Ubaldo Jimenez was not nearly as successful for Baltimore. Willson Contreras doubled to open the 2nd inning, but he only made it to third on Kyle Schwarber’s follow-up double as he held to see whether it would drop. Ian Happ made it three straight doubles with a shot to the gap in left-center to score two. Jason Heyward singled to score Happ, and a Ben Zobrist single scored J-Hey to build the Cubs lead to 4-0. Jon Jay singled to leadoff the 4th inning and advanced to third on a nifty base-running play when Zobrist grounded to first. All that effort proved unnecessary when Kris Bryant pounded a two-run homer deep to left. A 6-0 lead was more than enough Quintana, who was outstanding on Sunday. Excellent fastball command combined with a nasty curveball left Orioles hitters at a loss. The Cubs played add-on in the 9th, when Bryant singled and Anthony Rizzo blasted a bomb to right-center. After Quintana left, CJ Edwards and Brian Duensing closed out the 8-0 Chicago victory. Stats That Matter - Willson Contreras is on an absolute tear of late. Four more hits today have raised WillCo’s batting average to .278 and his OPS to .823. He also caught Quintana’s terrific start. - After a prolonged “slump,” Kris Bryant is on the upswing again. He got on four times Sunday: a walk, two singles, and the no-doubt homer. - Jose Quintana’s line says it all: 7 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 12 K, and 0 BB. Of course most starts aren’t going to be this good, but even a fraction of that will win a lot of games. The Cubs swept the Orioles to start the second-half and climb back over the .500 mark. If Chicago wants to get back in the race, now is the time to go on a roll. Will this finally be the time they do? The Cubs head to the new Sun Trust Park to face the Braves on Monday. Jon Lester, fresh off the shortest start of his career, takes on Julio Teheran. The game is at 6:35 CT and airs on WGN.

Editor’s Note: Grannygear returns with his second set of pedals in the Round-Up series from Ritchey. Please check out his introduction to this series by clicking HERE. The Riding Gravel Pedal Round-Up: Ritchey WCS Pedals- by Grannygear Ritchey seems to think the WCS Micro Road is bang-on for the Gravel Bike set and just looking at it makes you go, “Hmmmmm…they might be right“. It is a tiny little thing with an open structure; a sort of road pedal-ish shape in a single sided design…like if an SPD mtb pedal and a typical roadie pedal met at a bar and had too much to drink, etc. From the Ritchey website: “The perfect gravel bike pedal is back. Standard road pedals and cleats will get jammed with rocks and mud, and mountain bike pedals are heavier and offer less cornering clearance, which is critical when combined with a road bike’s lower BB height. Enter Tom Ritchey’s personal favorite pedal, the Pro Micro Road—the only road pedal that can keep going when the pavement ends.” - Proven retention system offers fast, predictable entry and release and excellent mud-shedding characteristics - Superlight one-sided stainless steel body - Incredible cornering clearanceSPD cleat and shoe convenience for those occasional dismounts - Low profile design offers exceptionally low axle-to-cleat height for optimal pedaling efficiency - Upgraded axle and bearing system – bushing, needle and cartridge bearing system for long service life - Only 208g (pair) - Body: Stainless steel - Axle Material: CroMo - Claw: Alloy - Inner Bearing: Bushing - Outer Bearing: Needle/Ball - Float: 5 degrees - Finish: Nickel With it’s all metal build, it looks rugged despite the diminutive size. It is darn light too. I weighed them as a pair at 208g and the cleats at 50g a pair. Compare that to the Time XC8s, already a lighter pedal than the typical SPD, and the WCS Micro Road is a bantam weight contender. Obviously the weight is less than it would be if this was a two sided pedal, so it does give up that to other designs and it might have less shoe contact/support outside the immediate cleat area as well. We shall see show it looks when clicked into a shoe. The cleat is totally ‘walk-able’ in it’s SPD-like design and it mounts to the typical two bolt pattern. I have to say that I am very intrigued by these and have to wonder if they would not also be a good commuter or even touring pedals. The mud shedding abilities are still to be determined, but they sure look capable in the muck and mire. I will say that they are good looking in a “non-fantastic plastic” sort of way and they seem ‘right’ for a slim tubed, steel framed gravel bike, or at least to my eye they do. That does fall well into the Ritchey way of doing things. I have been using Ritchey road pedals (Look/Keo type) for a couple of years and they have been a solid choice. I also have run Ritchey bars, stems, and seat posts on a couple of road bikes with great results. They have been a good balance of weight, value and performance. These are next to be ridden as I wrap up the Time ATACs. Stay tuned as we introduce the next set of pedals yet to be announced. Then we will talk about the results of our findings. Note: The Ritchey WCS pedals were sent to Grannygear for test and review on RidingGravel.com at no charge. We are not being paid nor bribed for this review and we will strive to give our honest thoughts and opinions throughout.

We doorwin has revolutionized the energy efficient windows by various components such as the glass, frame and hardware what make our window energy efficient. Those components that provide substantial protection from heat gain and heat loss and reduce the energy consumed by the whole building are considered energy efficient. Double glazed windows An ideal energy efficient solution is to reduce all forms of heat transfer. Double glazing is considered the vehicle for all high-performance windows, in climates hot, cold and mixed. When combined with low-e glass on at least one pane and argon gas in between, double glazing provides the best thermal performance. U-values as low as 1.8 are possible, compared with about 5 in the case of a single-glazed clear window. The narrowest air gap used in double glazing is 6 mm but this should be avoided unless there is no alternative. The use of wider gaps (10-20 mm) will improve the U-value and the configuration of 5mm glass +12air+5mm glass is the most popular with inexpensive price. In addition to double glazed windows, we also offer triple glass option to reach extraordinary great in performance. Our double glazing glass and triple glazing glass have passed SGCC (Safety Glazing Certification Council )and IGCC ( Insulating Glass Certification Council) which means they are qualified for the Safety standard for safety glazing used in buildings and safety performance specifications. Low-e coated glass Low-e (low emissivity ) glass uses a transparent coating to minimize the amount of heat passing through the glass while still allowing light through. This almost invisible coating reduces the U-value of the glass which measures how well a window prevents non solar heat loss or gain. The lower the U-value, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. And it is important to design on which side of the glass to coat Low E, different side Low E coated may effect opposite. There are professional engineers in our company who will design on which side of the glass to coat the Low E, and definitely will explain how it will work to reduce the heat transfer. To complement the glazing system, a frame with a low U-value assists in reducing the whole window U-value. Frames that use timber, composite aluminium/timber, or thermal break aluminium,design, outperform standard aluminium windows by providing advanced thermal performance. Timber is the preferred choice to be window frame because of its terrible heat transfer efficient. Our wood cladding aluminium frame is the upgraded frame of timber frame and thermal break aluminium. While timber performs better on energy efficient and cost less, but exterior timber side may rot rot, warp, peel or rust when they are installed in adverse weather condition, in normal weather condition , exterior timber side will last 10-15 year's without any damage based on our timber treat technique. I'd like to show you Wood cladding aluminium frame , timber part thickness options we offer 68mm(2.67in) 78mm(3.07in), with aluminium cladding thickness is 20mm(0.79in) , this type frame brings elegant wood type looking interior and strong structure exterior. If you'd like a window with wood cladding aluminium looking but with less cost, I recommend another type wood cladding aluminium which configured with thinner wood timber interior and thicker thermal break aluminium exterior. Wood cladding aluminium frame is way heavy than thermal break aluminium frame, and with heavy double or triple glazing glass, the windows requires the hardware strictly. We selected Roto Brand and Truth Brand hardware to ensure the window can be open and close smoothly with less strength. Good Weather Seals Hot and cool air can escape or enter a home through gaps and cracks around sashes and frames. Our good window seals are essential to improving energy efficient performance with compression seals, as fitted to whatever casement and awning windows, tended to have superior air infiltration performance. For all of these above, Our windows performed extraordinary great in air tightness , moisture tightness, wind pressure and U factor , these specifications have been already tested and certified by CE certificate, NAMI certificate is also on the process. So the quality of our windows is not guaranteed by us but also by National Inspection Institute. Beside the quality of the windows we also offer individualized design like : (Optional choice of produce technology and out looking) Open type : H or V Seamless welding(Nicer looking) Non finger joint wood(Nicer looking, but expensive) Powder coating (which is strong) Grid option( Colonial, Diamond, Prairie, perimeter) Even now you have some ideas of our windows ,bu t maybe you still feel a little scary to purchasing overseas. You may worried about the package. Well, purchase huge value customized products like windows is really a brave idea. Our company are very precious of these buyers and will take care of the windows like our own house windows. We designed three layers of the package for each window: adhesive protective film, stretchable plastic wrap, For one batch of windows, there will be durable Non-fumigation plywood crate to pack the windows , which provides good protection and prevents the windows and doors from being damaged during long shipping time. And no customers have complaint on glass breakage so far.

Why Do Teachers Call Parents Why Do Teachers Call Parents Teachers play a crucial role in the development and education of children. They are responsible for not only imparting knowledge but also ensuring the overall well-being of their students. One of the ways teachers maintain a strong connection with parents is through frequent communication. Calling parents is a common practice among educators, as it helps to establish a strong partnership between home and school. In this article, we will explore the reasons why teachers call parents and how this communication benefits both students and parents. Reasons for Teacher-Parent Communication 1. Academic Progress: One of the primary reasons why teachers call parents is to discuss a student’s academic progress. Regular updates on a child’s performance can help parents identify areas where their child may need additional support or intervention. By discussing grades, test scores, and class participation, teachers can provide valuable insights into a student’s learning journey and suggest strategies to enhance their academic performance. 2. Behavioral Concerns: Teachers also call parents to address any behavioral concerns they may have about a student. Whether it is disruptive behavior, lack of focus, or issues with social interactions, teachers understand that parental involvement is crucial to help students overcome such challenges. By discussing these concerns, teachers and parents can collaborate to find effective solutions and create a consistent approach to support the child’s behavior both at school and home. 3. Positive Reinforcement: Not all parent-teacher communication revolves around problems or concerns. Teachers often call parents to celebrate a student’s achievements, progress, or positive behavior. Recognizing and acknowledging a child’s accomplishments can significantly boost their self-esteem and motivation. By sharing these successes with parents, teachers can foster a positive and encouraging environment that nurtures a student’s growth. 4. Building Relationships: Effective communication between teachers and parents helps build strong relationships. By reaching out to parents, teachers demonstrate their dedication and commitment to their students’ success. This open line of communication ensures that parents feel heard and valued, which can lead to increased parental involvement in their child’s education. Building a strong partnership between home and school is essential as it creates a supportive network that benefits the child’s holistic development. 1. How often should teachers call parents? The frequency of teacher-parent communication varies depending on the needs of the student and the situation. Generally, teachers aim to communicate with parents at least once a semester to discuss academic progress. However, if there are specific concerns or achievements to address, teachers may initiate additional calls or meetings. 2. What should parents do if they miss a call from their child’s teacher? If parents miss a call from their child’s teacher, it is essential to return the call promptly. Teachers make an effort to reach out to parents, and their call may involve important information about their child’s academic or behavioral progress. Returning the call shows respect for the teacher’s time and demonstrates a commitment to being an involved parent. 3. How can parents prepare for a call from their child’s teacher? To make the most of a conversation with a teacher, parents can prepare by gathering any relevant information or questions they may have. It is helpful to have a clear understanding of what they would like to discuss or any concerns they would like to address. Being open-minded, respectful, and willing to collaborate will ensure a productive conversation. 4. What if parents disagree with the teacher’s assessment? In situations where parents may disagree with a teacher’s assessment, it is important to approach the discussion with an open mind and a willingness to listen. Constructive dialogue can help clarify any misunderstandings and provide an opportunity for both parties to find common ground. If concerns persist, reaching out to a school administrator can help facilitate further discussions and find a resolution. Teacher-parent communication is vital for a child’s educational journey. By calling parents, teachers can discuss academic progress, address behavioral concerns, provide positive reinforcement, and build strong relationships. This open line of communication promotes collaboration, enhances student support, and ensures parents are actively involved in their child’s education. By understanding the reasons behind teachers calling parents, we can appreciate the positive impact it has on a child’s development and learning.
